Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Objective of the Invention 1 (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an ozone sterilizer, particularly an ozone sterilizer used for sterilizing beverages sold in vending machines and the like.

(Prior Art) With the spread of vending machines, it has become possible to easily buy food and drinks on street corners. These methods are suitable for the tastes of modern people because they allow people to buy their favorite food and drinks at any time without requiring any human intervention. In particular, it is convenient to be able to drink beverages such as coffee, juice, and cocoa at any time. For these beverages, the vending machine is equipped with raw material powders, water, a heat source, etc., and the raw material powders are mixed with water or a slurry and automatically supplied to the purchaser whenever necessary.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Conventional vending machines automatically dispense the desired beverage without requiring any human intervention, giving it a hygienic feel.

However, this type of vending machine stores raw material powder, water, etc. within the vending machine for a predetermined period of time, and there are considerable problems in view of the characteristics of the raw material powder.

In other words, in the case of coffee and cocoa, viscous liquids are made to flow down through tubes, so even after a predetermined amount has flowed out, these liquids remain attached to the inner walls of the tubes. This means that you are coming into contact with the air inside the vending machine. Therefore, it is easy for various bacteria to breed in the residue inside the tube.

Therefore, regular cleaning is carried out in conjunction with the replenishment of raw materials, but due to the relationship with the installation environment and the dirt attached to hands and towels, it is not possible to completely clean it, and it is not effective at all. is the current situation.

In short, product contamination remains attached to the tubes and nozzles inside the vending machine, and this, combined with a suitable environment, provides a breeding ground for bacteria.

It is also known that bacteria can grow on paper cups that look hygienic.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an ozone sterilizer that can keep the beverage passage of a vending machine and other areas sanitary.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The structure of the present invention will be explained using a drawing corresponding to the embodiment shown in FIG. is provided on the mounting frame 11, and the tube tip cover 3 and pedestal 4 are configured to be removable from the body 2 to facilitate maintenance and inspection.

(Function) During maintenance and inspection, the tube tip cover 3 and the pedestal 4 are removed from the body 2.
The mounting frame 11 mounted inside can be pulled out and replaced.

(Example) Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of an embodiment of an ozone sterilizer according to the present invention, with a portion cut away.

In FIG. 1, a main body 1 consists of a cylindrical body 2, a tube tip cover 3, and a pedestal 4.
and the pedestal 4 are fitted together. A partition ring 5 is fixed to an end inside the body 2, and a support ring 6 is integrally connected to the rear of the partition ring 5 and is fixed by screws 7. Note that the equipment configuration U shown on the right side after the support ring is integrally constructed as shown in FIG. 2, and this portion can be inserted into and removed from the body 2.

A support piece 8.8 is cut and raised from a diametrical position of the support ring, and an ozone lamp 10 is held in this part via a lamp socket 9.9. A mounting frame 11 is attached to the support ring 6.
is provided in a U-shape, and a mounting plate 12 is fixed to this mounting frame at an intermediate position, and a ballast 13, a fuse 14, a terminal block 1
5 and the back thereof, a glow starter 16 (see FIG. 4) and the like are attached. 11 is a motor fan. As is clear from the figure, portion 18 is a space.

The tip of the tube tip cover 3 has a planar shape, and this portion has a plurality of nipples 19, which are configured to discharge air containing ozone, as will be described later. Further, a stainless steel net 20 (see FIG. 5) is stretched over the flat surface of the pedestal 4, and air is taken in through this portion. 21 is I
This is the R source code.

The usage and operation of the ozone sterilizer having the above configuration will be explained below.

First, the ozone sterilizer body 1 shown in FIG. 1 is installed at a predetermined position inside a vending machine. Turn on the power and turn on the ozone lamp 1.
0 is turned on and the motor fan 17 is activated, airflow is sucked into the body 2 through the stainless steel net 20 of the base 4 and is discharged through the nipple 19. Figure 4 is a view from above of Figure 1 to show the airflow;
Arrows indicate airflow. The incoming air stream is discharged as containing ozone by the ozone lamp 10.

Regarding ON211 degrees, as the applicant has already obtained the right (Patent No. 1242245), 0.03~
0.04E) Elm is the best.

Distribution tubes (not shown) are connected to the nipple 19, and these tubes are used not only for the mixing position of the raw material zero powder for beverages and the lagoon, but also for each nozzle position, as well as for branching parts of the tubes serving as each liquid passage. It is also installed to divert the flow into the tube. That is, it is also blown into each mixing position, outlet, and each pipe.

It has been confirmed that the ozone concentration described above has no effect on the oxidation of fat contained in each beverage, and has no effect on odor.

When inspecting an ozone sterilizer that is operating in this way,
An inspector visits each vending machine, takes out the main body 1, and opens the pedestal 4 and barrel tip cover 3. (In this case, although detailed explanation is not given in the above configuration, if the body part 2, pedestal 4, and tube tip cover 3 are configured, for example, in a bayonet configuration, opening and closing operations will be extremely convenient.) Remove the screws 7 fixing the partition ring 5 and support ring 6. Then, put your hand in from the pedestal 4 side and grasp the U-shaped end of the mounting frame 11. In this state, you can pull out the internal structure with a single touch. Simply insert the inspected set here and fix it. Maintenance and inspection will be completed. The set taken out in this case has the overall configuration shown in FIG. 2, and the main body 1 after taken out has the shape shown in FIG. 3.

In the above embodiment, the replaceable part shown in FIG. If the direction end) is also fixed at a predetermined position on the body 2, vibrations can of course be prevented and stable operation can be achieved.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, the set of storage equipment in the ozone sterilizer main body is configured to be removable and can be inserted and removed, thereby providing an ozone sterilizer that is extremely easy to maintain and inspect. I can do it.
