Description

本発明は、飲料ディスペンサーやカップ式の飲料自動販売機などに用いられ、下方に配置されたカップ内に飲料を注入するための飲料供給ノズルに関するものである。   The present invention relates to a beverage supply nozzle that is used in beverage dispensers, cup-type beverage vending machines, and the like and injects beverage into a cup disposed below.

従来、この種の飲料供給ノズルとしては、飲料が流通する流通路を有するノズル本体を備え、下方に配置されたカップ内に飲料を注入する飲料供給装置に用いられるものが知られている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。   Conventionally, as this type of beverage supply nozzle, there is known one used in a beverage supply device that includes a nozzle body having a flow passage through which a beverage circulates and injects a beverage into a cup disposed below (for example, , See Patent Document 1).

特開２００１−１０９９３７号公報JP 2001-109937 A

従来の飲料供給ノズルにおいて、飲料の注入を短時間で行うためには、流通路の流路断面積を大きく形成した方が有利である。しかし、従来の飲料供給ノズルでは、流路断面積を大きく形成すると、飲料の注入時間を短縮することはできるが、飲料流出口から流出する飲料の乱れが大きくなるため、カップ外に飛散する飲料の量が多くなり、飲料供給装置が汚れて不衛生である。   In a conventional beverage supply nozzle, in order to inject a beverage in a short time, it is advantageous to form a flow passage cross-sectional area large. However, in the conventional beverage supply nozzle, if the flow passage cross-sectional area is formed large, the beverage injection time can be shortened, but the beverage flowing out from the beverage outlet becomes more disturbed, so the beverage splashes out of the cup. The beverage supply device becomes dirty and unsanitary.

本発明の目的とするところは、飲料をカップ内に注入する時のカップ外への飲料の飛散量を減少させることのできる飲料供給ノズルを提供することにある。   An object of the present invention is to provide a beverage supply nozzle that can reduce the amount of beverage splashed out of the cup when the beverage is poured into the cup.

本発明は前記目的を達成するために、飲料が流通する流通路を有するノズル本体を備え、下方に配置されたカップ内に飲料を注入する飲料供給ノズルにおいて、前記流通路の飲料流出側に設けられ、流通する飲料を整流する整流板を備え、整流板を、流通路を各流路断面積が７．１平方ミリメートル以下となるように分割するとともに、流通路に沿って２２ミリメートル以上の長さに形成している。   In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is provided with a nozzle body having a flow passage through which a beverage circulates, and is provided on the beverage outflow side of the flow passage in a beverage supply nozzle for injecting a beverage into a cup disposed below. The flow path is divided so that the cross-sectional area of each flow path is 7.1 square millimeters or less, and a length of 22 millimeters or more along the flow path. Is formed.

これにより、飲料供給ノズルから流出する飲料が整流板によって整流されることから、飲料をカップ内に注入する際にカップ外に飛散する飲料を減少させることが可能となる。   Accordingly, since the beverage flowing out from the beverage supply nozzle is rectified by the rectifying plate, it is possible to reduce the beverage that scatters outside the cup when the beverage is poured into the cup.

本発明によれば、飲料をカップ内に注入する際にカップ外に飛散する飲料を減少させることができるので、飲料供給ノズルを備えた飲料供給装置を衛生的に保つことが可能となる。   According to the present invention, when the beverage is poured into the cup, the beverage splashing out of the cup can be reduced, so that the beverage supply device including the beverage supply nozzle can be kept hygienic.

The other end of the beverage transport pipe 3 a is connected to the beverage supply nozzle 4.

飲料供給ノズル４は、合成樹脂製の部材からなり、カップＡに供給する飲料が流通するノズル本体５と、ノズル本体５の飲料流出側に設けられ、ノズル本体５内を流通する飲料の流れを整流することによりカップＡ外への飲料の飛散を抑制するための整流部材６とからなる。   The beverage supply nozzle 4 is made of a synthetic resin member, and is provided on the beverage outflow side of the nozzle body 5 through which the beverage to be supplied to the cup A circulates. It consists of the rectification | straightening member 6 for suppressing the scattering of the drink outside the cup A by rectifying | straightening.

ノズル本体５は、内径約６ミリメートルの断面円形状の流通路を有する管状の部材からなり、流通路の飲料流入側と飲料流出側とが１０５度の角度を成すように屈曲している。ノズル本体５の飲料流入側の端部には、外周部が飲料搬送管３ａの内周部と嵌合するようにやや細く形成された配管接続部５ａが設けられ、管接続部５ａを飲料搬送管３ａ内に挿入することによりノズル本体５が飲料搬送管３ａに接続されるようになっている。また、ノズル本体５の飲料流出側の端部には、内周部が整流部材の外周部と嵌合するように内径がやや大きく形成された整流部材接続部５ｂが設けられ、整流部材接続部５ｂに整流部材６を挿入することにより、部材の弾性によってノズル本体５に整流部材６が接続されるようになっている。   The nozzle body 5 is formed of a tubular member having a circular flow passage having an inner diameter of about 6 millimeters, and is bent so that the beverage inflow side and the beverage outflow side of the flow passage form an angle of 105 degrees. The end of the nozzle body 5 on the beverage inflow side is provided with a pipe connecting portion 5a formed so that its outer peripheral portion is fitted to the inner peripheral portion of the beverage transport pipe 3a, and the pipe connecting portion 5a is transported by the beverage. The nozzle body 5 is connected to the beverage transport pipe 3a by being inserted into the pipe 3a. Further, the end of the nozzle body 5 on the beverage outflow side is provided with a rectifying member connecting portion 5b having a slightly larger inner diameter so that the inner peripheral portion is fitted to the outer peripheral portion of the rectifying member. By inserting the rectifying member 6 into 5b, the rectifying member 6 is connected to the nozzle body 5 by the elasticity of the member.

整流部材６は、整流部材接続部５ｂに嵌合する筒状部６ａと、筒状部６ａの内部及びノズル本体５の流通路を周方向に均等に四等分するための整流板６ｂとを有している。筒状部６ａは、約６ミリメートルの内径を有し、下端側に飲料流出口６ｃが設けられている。筒状部６ａは、上端側をノズル本体５の整流部材接続部５ｂに挿入して嵌合させることにより、ノズル本体５の流通路の面と筒状部６ａの内面とが面一となるように設けられている。整流板６ｂは、ノズル本体５の飲料流出側の流通路に沿って直線状に延びるとともに、断面十字形状に形成され、筒状部６ａの飲料流出口６ｃから下方に突出するように設けられている（本実施形態では突出長さ４．５ミリメートル）。ここで、筒状部６ａの内部及びノズル本体５の飲料流出側の流通路は、４等分に仕切られており、それぞれの飲料の流路断面積は、約７．１平方ミリメートルとなる（流路断面積＝（３ｍｍ×３ｍｍ×π）÷４）。また、整流板６ｂの長さ寸法Ｌは、後述するが２２ミリメートル以上に形成することが望ましい。   The rectifying member 6 includes a cylindrical portion 6a fitted to the rectifying member connecting portion 5b, and a rectifying plate 6b for equally dividing the inside of the cylindrical portion 6a and the flow passage of the nozzle body 5 equally in the circumferential direction. Have. The cylindrical part 6a has an inner diameter of about 6 millimeters, and a beverage outlet 6c is provided on the lower end side. The cylindrical part 6a is inserted and fitted into the rectifying member connecting part 5b of the nozzle body 5 at the upper end side so that the surface of the flow passage of the nozzle body 5 and the inner surface of the cylindrical part 6a are flush with each other. Is provided. The rectifying plate 6b extends linearly along the flow path on the beverage outflow side of the nozzle body 5, is formed in a cross-shaped cross section, and is provided so as to protrude downward from the beverage outlet 6c of the tubular portion 6a. (In this embodiment, the protruding length is 4.5 mm). Here, the flow path on the beverage outflow side of the cylindrical portion 6a and the nozzle body 5 is divided into four equal parts, and the flow path cross-sectional area of each beverage is about 7.1 square millimeters ( Channel cross-sectional area = (3 mm × 3 mm × π) ÷ 4). The length L of the rectifying plate 6b is desirably 22 millimeters or more as will be described later.

以上のように構成された飲料供給装置において、飲料を生成する際には、対応するキャニスタ１の粉末原料を放出してシュータ１ａを介してミキシングボウル３内に投入するとともに、粉末原料が投入されるミキシングボウル３に給湯管２ａを介して温水タンク２の湯を供給し、ミキシングボウル３内において粉末原料と湯を混合してカップＡに注入する。このとき、飲料供給ノズル４の飲料流出口６ｃから流出する飲料は、整流板６ｂによって流れが整えられるため、カップＡ外への飲料の飛散が抑制される。   In the beverage supply apparatus configured as described above, when producing a beverage, the powder raw material of the corresponding canister 1 is discharged and charged into the mixing bowl 3 via the shooter 1a, and the powder raw material is charged. Hot water from the hot water tank 2 is supplied to the mixing bowl 3 through the hot water supply pipe 2a, and the powder raw material and hot water are mixed in the mixing bowl 3 and poured into the cup A. At this time, since the flow of the beverage flowing out from the beverage outlet 6c of the beverage supply nozzle 4 is adjusted by the rectifying plate 6b, the scattering of the beverage outside the cup A is suppressed.

また、この飲料供給装置においてカップＡに注入する飲料は、コーヒー、カプチーノ、カフェラテ、紅茶、カフェモカ、ココアである。コーヒーは、コーヒー原料と湯とをミキシングボウル３内で攪拌しながらカップＡ内に注入することにより生成される。カプチーノは、ミルク原料と湯とをミキシングボウル３内で攪拌しながらカップＡ内に注入した後に、コーヒー原料と湯とをミキシングボウル３内で攪拌しながらカップＡ内に注入することにより生成される。カフェラテは、コーヒー原料と湯とをミキシングボウル３内で攪拌しながらカップＡに注入すると同時に、ミルク原料と湯とを別のミキシングボウル３内で攪拌しながらカップＡ内に注入することにより生成される。紅茶は、紅茶原料と湯とをミキシングボウル３内で攪拌しながらカップＡ内に注入することにより生成される。カフェモカは、コーヒー原料と湯とをミキシングボウル３内で攪拌しながらカップＡ内に注入すると同時に、ココア原料と湯とを別のミキシングボウル３内で攪拌しながらカップＡ内に注入することにより生成される。ココアは、ココア原料と湯とをミキシングボウル３内で攪拌しながらカップＡ内に注入することにより生成される。   In addition, beverages injected into the cup A in this beverage supply device are coffee, cappuccino, latte, tea, café mocha, and cocoa. Coffee is generated by pouring coffee raw material and hot water into the cup A while stirring in the mixing bowl 3. Cappuccino is produced by pouring milk ingredients and hot water into the cup A while stirring in the mixing bowl 3, and then pouring coffee ingredients and hot water into the cup A while stirring in the mixing bowl 3. . Caffe latte is produced by injecting coffee ingredients and hot water into the cup A while stirring in the mixing bowl 3 and simultaneously injecting milk ingredients and hot water into the cup A while stirring in another mixing bowl 3. The Black tea is produced by pouring black tea ingredients and hot water into the cup A while stirring in the mixing bowl 3. Café mocha is produced by injecting coffee ingredients and hot water into the cup A while stirring in the mixing bowl 3 and simultaneously injecting coffee ingredients and hot water into the cup A while stirring in another mixing bowl 3. Is done. Cocoa is produced by pouring the cocoa raw material and hot water into the cup A while stirring in the mixing bowl 3.

各飲料の生成の際、カップＡ外への飲料の飛散量は、飲料供給ノズル４の飲料流出口６ｃから流出する飲料の状態、粘度、密度によって異なる。即ち、カップＡ外への飲料の飛散量は、液体のみの状態よりも気泡が多く含まれた状態の液体の方が少なく、粘度が低いよりも高い方が少なく、密度が高いよりも低い方が少なくなる。コーヒーの場合では、他の原料が粉末状であるのに対して顆粒状のコーヒー原料を用いており、ミキシングボウル３内でコーヒー原料と湯とを攪拌する際にコーヒー原料が湯に溶けにくく飲料供給ノズル４からカップＡに注入される液体の粘度が湯と比較して高くなる状態が長時間となるため、飲料の飛散量は少ない。カプチーノの場合では、気泡が多く含まれた状態のミルクが先にカップＡ内に注入され、気泡が多く含まれたミルクが入ったカップＡにコーヒーが注入されるため、飲料の飛散量は少ない。カフェラテの場合では、ミルクとコーヒーが同時にカップＡに注入されるが、注入開始時以外は気泡が多く含まれるミルクが入ったカップＡにコーヒーが注入されるため、飲料の飛散量は少ない。紅茶の場合では、ミキシングボウル３内で粉末状の紅茶原料と湯とを攪拌する際に紅茶原料が短時間で溶けるため紅茶原料が溶解した粘度の高い状態の液体が飲料供給ノズル４からカップＡに注入される時間は短時間で、それ以外は粘度の低い湯のみが飲料供給ノズル４からカップＡに注入されるため、飲料の飛散量は多い。ココアの場合では、ココア原料と湯とを攪拌した液体の密度が高く、飲料の飛散量は多い。カフェモカの場合では、粘度の高いコーヒーとココアが同時にカップＡに注入されるが、密度の高いココアがカップＡ内の液面に落下するため、飲料の飛散量は多い。   When each beverage is generated, the amount of the beverage splashed outside the cup A varies depending on the state, viscosity, and density of the beverage flowing out from the beverage outlet 6c of the beverage supply nozzle 4. That is, the amount of beverage splashed outside the cup A is less in the liquid with more bubbles than in the liquid alone, less in the higher than the low viscosity, and lower in the higher density Less. In the case of coffee, a granular coffee raw material is used while the other raw materials are in powder form. When the coffee raw material and hot water are stirred in the mixing bowl 3, the coffee raw material is difficult to dissolve in hot water. Since the state in which the viscosity of the liquid injected from the supply nozzle 4 into the cup A is higher than that of hot water is long, the amount of beverage scattered is small. In the case of cappuccino, milk containing a large amount of bubbles is first injected into the cup A, and coffee is injected into the cup A containing milk containing a large amount of bubbles, so that the amount of splashed beverage is small. . In the case of cafe latte, milk and coffee are poured into the cup A at the same time. However, since the coffee is poured into the cup A containing milk containing a lot of bubbles except at the start of pouring, the amount of splashed beverage is small. In the case of black tea, when the powdery black tea material and hot water are stirred in the mixing bowl 3, the black tea material dissolves in a short time. Since only a hot water with a low viscosity is injected into the cup A from the beverage supply nozzle 4, the amount of the scattered beverage is large. In the case of cocoa, the density of the liquid obtained by stirring the cocoa raw material and hot water is high, and the amount of the beverage scattered is large. In the case of cafe mocha, coffee and cocoa with high viscosity are poured into the cup A at the same time, but since the cocoa with high density falls on the liquid surface in the cup A, the amount of scattered beverage is large.

ここで、整流板６ｂの最適な長さ寸法Ｌを決定するために、種々の長さ寸法Ｌ（８〜３０ミリメートル）の整流板６ｂを有する飲料供給ノズル４によってカップＡに飲料を注入することによる、カップＡ外への飲料の飛散量についての試験結果を示す。   Here, in order to determine the optimum length dimension L of the current plate 6b, the beverage is injected into the cup A by the beverage supply nozzle 4 having the current plate 6b having various length dimensions L (8 to 30 millimeters). The test result about the scattering amount of the drink to outside the cup A by is shown.

この試験では、前記のように、飲料の種類によってカップＡ外への飲料の飛散量が異なるため、それぞれの飲料について、また、図６に示すように、飲料供給ノズル４の飲料流出口６ｃから飲料を注入するカップＡ内の底までの距離Ｄを１３２ミリメートルとした場合と１６８ミリメートルとした場合について、飲料をカップＡに注入したときの飲料のカップＡ外への飛散量としてカップＡ外に飛散する飲料の滴の数をそれぞれ計測した。   In this test, as described above, the amount of beverage splashed out of the cup A differs depending on the type of beverage. Therefore, for each beverage, as shown in FIG. 6, from the beverage outlet 6c of the beverage supply nozzle 4. About the case where the distance D to the bottom in the cup A which inject | pours a drink shall be 132 millimeters, and the case where it is 168 millimeters, when the drink is inject | poured into the cup A, it will be outside the cup A as a scattering amount to the cup A outside. The number of splashed beverage drops was measured.

距離Ｄを１３２ミリメートルとした場合において、各長さ寸法Ｌの整流板６について各種飲料をカップＡに注入したときの飲料の飛散量を、図７の表及び図８グラフに示す。また、距離Ｄを１６８ミリメートルとした場合における試験結果を、図９の表及び図１０のグラフに示す。   When the distance D is 132 millimeters, the amount of beverage splashed when various beverages are poured into the cup A for the current plate 6 of each length L is shown in the table of FIG. 7 and the graph of FIG. The test results when the distance D is 168 millimeters are shown in the table of FIG. 9 and the graph of FIG.

図８及び図１０のグラフから、カップＡ外への飲料の飛散量は、飲料供給ノズル４の飲料流出口６ｃから飲料を注入するカップＡ内の底までの距離Ｄが小さい方が少なくなり、紅茶、カフェモカ、ココアよりもコーヒー、カプチーノ、カフェラテの方が少なくなる傾向があることがわかる。また、整流板６ｂの長さ寸法Ｌが長くなるにつれて、カップＡ外への飲料の飛散量は少なくなり、特に、長さ寸法Ｌが２２ミリメートル以上では、飲料供給ノズル４の飲料流出口６ｃから飲料を注入するカップＡ内の底までの距離Ｄや飲料の種類に拘わらずカップＡ外への飲料の飛散が減少することがわかる。   From the graphs of FIGS. 8 and 10, the amount of beverage splashed out of the cup A decreases as the distance D from the beverage outlet 6 c of the beverage supply nozzle 4 to the bottom of the cup A into which the beverage is injected is smaller. It can be seen that coffee, cappuccino and latte tend to be less than tea, café mocha and cocoa. Further, as the length dimension L of the current plate 6b becomes longer, the amount of beverage splashed out of the cup A decreases. In particular, when the length dimension L is 22 millimeters or more, from the beverage outlet 6c of the beverage supply nozzle 4. It can be seen that the scattering of the beverage out of the cup A is reduced regardless of the distance D to the bottom in the cup A into which the beverage is injected and the type of the beverage.

このように、本実施形態の飲料供給装置によれば、整流板６ｂを、ノズル本体５の流通路及び整流部材６の筒状部６ａ内の空間を断面積が７．１平方ミリメートル以下となるように分割するとともに、飲料の流通方向に２２ミリメートル以上に形成したので、飲料をカップＡ内に注入する際にカップＡ外に飛散する飲料を減少させることができ、飲料供給装置のカップＡを載置する部分を衛生的に保つことが可能となる。   Thus, according to the beverage supply device of the present embodiment, the flow straightening plate 6b, the flow path of the nozzle body 5 and the space in the cylindrical portion 6a of the flow straightening member 6 have a cross-sectional area of 7.1 square millimeters or less. Since the beverage is divided into two or more millimeters in the flow direction of the beverage, when the beverage is injected into the cup A, the beverage splashing out of the cup A can be reduced, and the cup A of the beverage supply device can be reduced. It becomes possible to keep the portion to be placed in a sanitary manner.

また、ノズル本体５の流通路及び整流部材６の筒状部６ａを、内径６ミリメートルの断面円形状に形成したので、カップＡ内に注入される飲料が大きな流通抵抗を受けることはなく、飲料を短時間でカップＡ内に注入することができる。   Further, since the flow passage of the nozzle body 5 and the cylindrical portion 6a of the rectifying member 6 are formed in a circular cross section having an inner diameter of 6 millimeters, the beverage injected into the cup A does not receive a large flow resistance, and the beverage Can be injected into the cup A in a short time.

また、整流板６ｂを、ノズル本体５の流通路及び整流部材６の筒状部６ａ内を周方向に四等分するように形成したので、長さ寸法Ｌが２２ミリメートル以上に形成された断面十字状の部材のみで、ノズル本体５内及び筒状部６内を分割することができ、製造コストの低減を図ることができる。   In addition, since the rectifying plate 6b is formed so as to divide the flow passage of the nozzle body 5 and the cylindrical portion 6a of the rectifying member 6 into four equal parts in the circumferential direction, the cross section in which the length L is formed to be 22 mm or more. Only the cross-shaped member can divide the inside of the nozzle body 5 and the inside of the cylindrical portion 6, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

また、整流板６ｂを有する整流部材６を、ノズル本体５に対して着脱自在に設けたので、必要に応じて整流部材６をノズル本体５に対して着脱することができ、飲料供給ノズル４の清掃を行う場合や整流板６ｂの長さの変更が容易となる。   Moreover, since the rectifying member 6 having the rectifying plate 6b is provided detachably with respect to the nozzle body 5, the rectifying member 6 can be attached to and detached from the nozzle body 5 as required. When cleaning is performed, it is easy to change the length of the current plate 6b.

また、整流板６ｂを、端部が飲料流出口６ｃから突出するように形成したので、飲料流出口６ｃから流出する飲料の整流効果を更に向上させることが可能となる。   Moreover, since the baffle plate 6b is formed so that the end portion protrudes from the beverage outlet 6c, the rectification effect of the beverage flowing out from the beverage outlet 6c can be further improved.

尚、前記実施形態では、内径６ミリメートルのノズル本体５の流通路及び整流部材６の筒状部６ａ内の空間を整流板６ｂによって四分割することによって各流路断面積が７．１平方ミリメートル以下となるようにしたものを示したが、飲料供給ノズル４の内部が内径６ミリメートルでない場合や断面円形状でない場合であっても、飲料が流通する各流路断面積が７．１平方ミリメートル以下となるように飲料供給ノズル４内を整流板によって分割するようにすればよい。例えば飲料供給ノズル４の内部が内径６ミリメートルよりも大きい場合には、整流板によって内部を５分割以上に分割して各流路断面積を７．１平方ミリメートル以下にすればよい。また、例えば飲料供給ノズル４の内部が断面矩形状の場合には、整流板によって内部を格子状に分割して各流路断面積を７．１平方ミリメートル以下にすればよい。   In the above embodiment, the flow passage of the nozzle body 5 having an inner diameter of 6 mm and the space in the cylindrical portion 6a of the rectifying member 6 are divided into four by the rectifying plate 6b, so that each channel cross-sectional area is 7.1 square millimeters. Although what was shown below was shown, even if it is a case where the inside of the drink supply nozzle 4 is not 6 mm in internal diameter or a cross-sectional circle shape, each flow-path cross-sectional area which a drink distribute | circulates is 7.1 square millimeters. What is necessary is just to divide | segment the inside of the drink supply nozzle 4 with a baffle plate so that it may become the following. For example, when the inside of the beverage supply nozzle 4 is larger than the inner diameter of 6 millimeters, the inside of the beverage supply nozzle 4 may be divided into five or more by a rectifying plate so that each channel cross-sectional area is 7.1 square millimeters or less. Further, for example, when the inside of the beverage supply nozzle 4 has a rectangular cross section, the inside of the beverage supply nozzle 4 may be divided into a grid by a rectifying plate so that the cross-sectional area of each flow path is set to 7.1 square millimeters or less.

また、前記実施形態では、飲料供給ノズル４を、ノズル本体５と、ノズル本体５に対して着脱自在に設けられた整流部材６とから構成したものを示したが、飲料供給ノズルをノズル本体に整流板を一体に形成することにより構成しても、前記実施形態と同様に、飲料をカップＡ内に注入する際にカップＡ外に飛散する飲料を減少させることができ、飲料供給装置のカップＡを載置する部分を衛生的に保つことが可能となる。   Moreover, in the said embodiment, although what comprised the drink supply nozzle 4 from the nozzle main body 5 and the rectification | straightening member 6 provided with respect to the nozzle main body 5 detachably was shown, a drink supply nozzle is made into a nozzle main body. Even if it is configured by integrally forming the current plate, the beverage splashing out of the cup A when the beverage is poured into the cup A can be reduced as in the above embodiment, and the cup of the beverage supply device It becomes possible to keep the portion on which A is placed in a sanitary manner.
