測されるようになっている。In FIG. 1, 1 is a cylindrical member made of resin, and a high-frequency induction heating coil 2 is wound around its outer periphery. The member 1
Are disposed between the carry-in chute 4 and the carry-out chute 5 with the upper and lower ends supported by the support member 3. A roller member 8 driven by a motor 7 is provided in a drop passage 6 between the unloading chute 5 and the tubular member 1, and a peripheral surface 8a thereof is formed as shown in FIG. It is formed in a cam shape. The motor 7 is mounted on a base 9 which is inserted through bosses 9a at both ends of the shaft 10 into shafts 10 and indicated by arrows A and B in FIG.
You can move in any direction. The base 9 is connected to a plunger 11a of the electromagnetic solenoid 11. The roller member 8 comes and goes in the falling passage 6 according to the operation and non-operation of the electromagnetic solenoid 11. The temperature of the can a is measured by the sensor 12 of the infrared thermometer.

２に給電する高周波電源である。FIG. 3 is a view showing a state in which this device is assembled in a vending machine. The can a is configured to be put into the carry-in chute 4 from the stocker 13. The can a dropped from the tubular member 1 to the carry-out chute 5 is taken out of the machine from the outlet 14. In the figure, reference numeral 15 denotes a high frequency power supply for supplying power to the high frequency induction heating coil 2.

下させればよい。Now, when the can a is put into the carry-in chute 4 from the stocker 13, the can a falls through the carry-in chute 4 into the cylindrical member 1. At this time, if the roller member 8 is protruded into the drop passage 6, the can a is stopped by bringing the lower end peripheral portion into contact with the roller member 8 as shown in FIG. Next, a high-frequency current is supplied to the high-frequency induction heating coil 2 from the high-frequency power supply 15 while the motor 7 is operated to rotate the roller member 8. Then, while the can a rotates while repeatedly moving up and down in the tubular member 1,
A high-frequency current flows through the peripheral wall to heat it. At that time, since the beverage in the can a is stirred, the heat of the peripheral wall is efficiently conducted to the beverage. Then, the infrared thermometer detects that the temperature of the can a has reached the predetermined value. At the same time, the heating power is turned off by the signal, and the electromagnetic solenoid 11 is operated to move the base 9 in the direction of arrow A in the figure. Then, the engagement between the can a and the roller member 8 is released, and the can a may be dropped onto the carry-out chute 4.

待できる。Since the present embodiment is configured as described above, the beverage in the can a is stirred with the up and down movement and rotation of the can a, and when the beverage is heated in a stationary or rotating state, the upper part of the can is heated. No cavities are created. Therefore, the wall of the can a is uniformly heated, and a reduction in the heating time can be expected.

Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, the can is naturally dropped from the inside of the tubular member only by releasing the engagement of the roller member with the can. Transport time is shortened. Further, since the loading and unloading of cans are performed by natural fall, the mechanism is extremely simple.
さらに、缶を回転させながら加熱するように構成して
あるので、缶壁から飲料への熱伝導効率が良くなり、缶
の加熱時間も短かくて済む。Furthermore, since the heating is performed while rotating the can, the efficiency of heat conduction from the can wall to the beverage is improved, and the heating time of the can can be shortened.
