ところが、上述した飲料供給装置では、飲料の供給指令が与えられた場合に、所定量の飲料原料と所定量の飲料原水とをミキシング部に供給して撹拌部材を回転させる混合運転を行っているが、飲料原料が例えば粉砕茶と称されるような飲料原水に溶けにくい粉体原料であると、混合運転を行っても飲料原料が飲料原水と十分に混合されず、結果的に、供給される飲料の品質の低下を招来する虞れがあった。 However, in the above-mentioned beverage supply device, when a beverage supply command is given, a predetermined amount of beverage raw material and a predetermined amount of beverage raw water are supplied to the mixing unit to rotate the stirring member. However, if the beverage raw material is a powder raw material that is difficult to dissolve in the beverage raw water, for example, called crushed tea, the beverage raw material is not sufficiently mixed with the beverage raw water even if the mixing operation is performed, and as a result, it is supplied. There was a risk that the quality of the beverages would deteriorate.

本発明は、上記実情に鑑みて、飲料原料が飲料原水に溶けにくいものであっても、飲料原料を飲料原水に良好に混合させることができる飲料供給装置を提供することを目的とする。 In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a beverage supply device capable of satisfactorily mixing a beverage raw material with a beverage raw water even if the beverage raw material is difficult to dissolve in the beverage raw water.

上記目的を達成するために、本発明に係る飲料供給装置は、供給された飲料原料と飲料原水とを撹拌部材により撹拌混合させて飲料を生成するミキシング部を備え、前記ミキシング部で生成された飲料を飲料容器に供給する飲料供給装置において、飲料の供給指令が与えられた場合に、該飲料の生成に必要な所定量の飲料原料を前記ミキシング部に供給するとともに、該飲料の生成に必要な所定量の一部の量の飲料原水を前記ミキシング部に供給して前記撹拌部材を予め設定された回転数で回転させて溶解運転を所定時間行い、前記溶解運転の後に残りの量の飲料原水を前記ミキシング部に供給して前記撹拌部材を前記溶解運転での回転数よりも高い回転数で回転させる混合運転を、前記溶解運転の時間よりも長い時間行う制御手段を備えたことを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, the beverage supply device according to the present invention includes a mixing unit for producing a beverage by stirring and mixing the supplied beverage raw material and the raw beverage water with a stirring member, and the mixing unit is used. In a beverage supply device that supplies a beverage to a beverage container, when a beverage supply command is given, a predetermined amount of beverage raw material necessary for producing the beverage is supplied to the mixing unit, and is necessary for producing the beverage. A part of a predetermined amount of raw drinking water is supplied to the mixing unit, the stirring member is rotated at a preset rotation speed to perform a melting operation for a predetermined time, and the remaining amount of the beverage is prepared after the melting operation. It is characterized by providing a control means for performing a mixing operation in which raw water is supplied to the mixing unit and the stirring member is rotated at a rotation speed higher than the rotation speed in the melting operation for a longer time than the time of the melting operation. And.

また本発明は、上記飲料供給装置において、前記制御手段は、前記溶解運転を行った後に前記撹拌部材を慣性で回転させ、前記混合運転で前記撹拌部材を回転させることを特徴とする。 Further, the present invention is characterized in that, in the beverage supply device, the control means rotates the stirring member by inertia after performing the melting operation, and rotates the stirring member in the mixing operation.

また本発明は、上記飲料供給装置において、前記制御手段は、前記混合運転において、前記撹拌部材の回転数を徐々に高くすることを特徴とする。 Further, the present invention is characterized in that, in the beverage supply device, the control means gradually increases the rotation speed of the stirring member in the mixing operation.

本発明によれば、制御手段が、飲料の供給指令が与えられた場合に、該飲料の生成に必要な所定量の飲料原料をミキシング部に供給するとともに、該飲料の生成に必要な所定量の一部の量の飲料原水をミキシング部に供給して撹拌部材を予め設定された回転数で回転させて溶解運転を所定時間行うので、ミキシング部での飲料原水の水位を撹拌部材の回転領域にすることができ、飲料原料が飲料原水に溶けにくいものであっても、飲料原料と飲料原水とを良好に撹拌混合することができる。そして、制御手段が、溶解運転の後に残りの量の飲料原水をミキシングに供給して撹拌部材を溶解運転での回転数よりも高い回転数で回転させる混合運転を、溶解運転の時間よりも長い時間行うので、飲料原料と飲料原水とが十分に撹拌混合された所定量の飲料を生成することができる。従って、飲料原料が飲料原水に溶けにくいものであっても、飲料原料を飲料原水に良好に混合させることができるという効果を奏する。 According to the present invention, when a beverage supply command is given, the control means supplies a predetermined amount of beverage raw material required for producing the beverage to the mixing unit and a predetermined amount required for producing the beverage. Since a part of the amount of raw drinking water is supplied to the mixing section and the stirring member is rotated at a preset rotation speed to perform the melting operation for a predetermined time, the water level of the raw drinking water in the mixing section is set to the rotation region of the stirring member. Even if the beverage raw material is difficult to dissolve in the beverage raw water, the beverage raw material and the beverage raw water can be satisfactorily mixed and mixed. Then, after the dissolution operation, the control means supplies the remaining amount of raw drinking water to the mixing to rotate the stirring member at a rotation speed higher than the rotation speed in the dissolution operation, which is longer than the time of the dissolution operation. Since it takes time, it is possible to produce a predetermined amount of beverage in which the beverage raw material and the beverage raw water are sufficiently stirred and mixed. Therefore, even if the beverage raw material is difficult to dissolve in the beverage raw water, the effect is that the beverage raw material can be satisfactorily mixed with the beverage raw water.

Do it like this. Here, it is assumed that the selected button 60 pressed and operated is a cold beverage.

制御部70の生成制御部72は、時刻t2の後の時刻t3に、バルブ駆動処理部72aを通じて湯供給弁24及び冷水供給弁36に開指令を与える。これにより湯供給弁24及び冷水供給弁36は開となり、湯タンク21からミキシング部40への湯の供給が開始されるとともに、冷却コイル31からミキシング部40への冷水の供給が開始される。 The generation control unit 72 of the control unit 70 gives an open command to the hot water supply valve 24 and the cold water supply valve 36 through the valve drive processing unit 72a at time t3 after the time t2. As a result, the hot water supply valve 24 and the cold water supply valve 36 are opened, the hot water supply from the hot water tank 21 to the mixing section 40 is started, and the supply of cold water from the cooling coil 31 to the mixing section 40 is started.

また生成制御部72は、時刻t3の後の時刻t4に、パドル駆動処理部72bを通じて撹拌パドル41に駆動指令を与えるとともに、モータ駆動処理部72cを通じて対象となる飲料原料を収容する原料キャニスタ50の原料モータ51に駆動指令を与える。これにより、該原料キャニスタ50からミキシング部40への飲料原料の供給が開始されるとともに、ミキシング部40にて撹拌パドル41が予め設定された低い回転数にて回転する。つまり、ミキシング部40では、原料キャニスタ50から供給された飲料原料と、湯供給部20及び冷水供給部30から供給された飲料原水(湯及び冷水)との撹拌が開始される。 Further, the generation control unit 72 gives a drive command to the stirring paddle 41 through the paddle drive processing unit 72b at time t4 after the time t3, and at the same time, the raw material canister 50 for accommodating the target beverage raw material through the motor drive processing unit 72c. A drive command is given to the raw material motor 51. As a result, the supply of the beverage raw material from the raw material canister 50 to the mixing unit 40 is started, and the stirring paddle 41 is rotated at a preset low rotation speed in the mixing unit 40. That is, in the mixing unit 40, stirring of the beverage raw material supplied from the raw material canister 50 and the beverage raw water (hot water and cold water) supplied from the hot water supply unit 20 and the cold water supply unit 30 is started.

そして、生成制御部72は、時刻t4の後の時刻t5に、バルブ駆動処理部72aを通じて湯供給弁24に閉指令を与えて湯供給弁24を閉とさせることでミキシング部40への湯の供給を停止するとともに、時刻t5の後の時刻t6に、モータ駆動処理部72cを通じて原料モータ51に駆動停止指令を与えて原料モータ51を駆動停止にさせることでミキシング部40への飲料原料の供給を停止する。 Then, at time t5 after the time t4, the generation control unit 72 gives a closing command to the hot water supply valve 24 through the valve drive processing unit 72a to close the hot water supply valve 24, so that the hot water to the mixing unit 40 is discharged. The supply of the beverage raw material to the mixing unit 40 is supplied to the mixing unit 40 by stopping the supply and giving a drive stop command to the raw material motor 51 through the motor drive processing unit 72c to stop the drive of the raw material motor 51 at time t6 after the time t5. To stop.

このように原料モータ51は、時刻t4から時刻t6まで駆動したことになり、この時刻t4から時刻t6までの駆動により、選択された飲料の生成に必要な所定量の飲料原料がミキシング部40に供給されることになる。 In this way, the raw material motor 51 is driven from the time t4 to the time t6, and the driving from the time t4 to the time t6 causes the mixing unit 40 to receive a predetermined amount of the beverage raw material required for producing the selected beverage. It will be supplied.

時刻t6の後の時刻t7に、生成制御部72は、バルブ駆動処理部72aを通じて冷水供給弁36に閉指令を与えて冷水供給弁36を閉とさせることでミキシング部40への冷水の供給を停止する。 At time t7 after time t6, the generation control unit 72 gives a closing command to the chilled water supply valve 36 through the valve drive processing unit 72a to close the chilled water supply valve 36, thereby supplying chilled water to the mixing unit 40. Stop.

このように湯供給弁24は時刻t3から時刻t5まで開となり、冷水供給弁36は時刻t3から時刻t7まで開となることで、湯供給部20及び冷水供給部30から飲料原水(湯及び冷水)が選択された飲料の生成に必要な所定量の一部の量としてミキシング部40に供給されることになる。 In this way, the hot water supply valve 24 is opened from time t3 to time t5, and the cold water supply valve 36 is opened from time t3 to time t7, so that the hot water supply unit 20 and the cold water supply unit 30 open the drinking raw water (hot water and cold water). ) Will be supplied to the mixing unit 40 as a part of the predetermined amount required for producing the selected beverage.

そして、時刻t7の後の時刻t8に、生成制御部72は、パドル駆動処理部72bを通じて撹拌パドル41に駆動停止指令を与えて撹拌パドル41を駆動停止にさせる。これにより、撹拌パドル41は、時刻t4から時刻t8まで駆動したことになり、駆動停止後に慣性で回転することになる。 Then, at time t8 after time t7, the generation control unit 72 gives a drive stop command to the stirring paddle 41 through the paddle drive processing unit 72b to stop the stirring paddle 41 from being driven. As a result, the stirring paddle 41 is driven from time t4 to time t8, and rotates by inertia after the drive is stopped.

撹拌パドル41が慣性で回転している時刻t9に、生成制御部72は、バルブ駆動処理部72aを通じて冷水供給弁36に開指令を与える。これにより冷水供給弁36は開となり、冷却コイル31からミキシング部40への冷水の供給が開始される。 At time t9 when the stirring paddle 41 is rotating due to inertia, the generation control unit 72 gives an open command to the cold water supply valve 36 through the valve drive processing unit 72a. As a result, the cold water supply valve 36 is opened, and the supply of cold water from the cooling coil 31 to the mixing unit 40 is started.

また生成制御部72は、時刻t9の後の時刻t10に、パドル駆動処理部72bを通じて撹拌パドル41に駆動指令を与え、撹拌パドル41を時刻t4からt8までの回転数よりも高い回転数で回転させる。 Further, the generation control unit 72 gives a drive command to the stirring paddle 41 through the paddle drive processing unit 72b at time t10 after time t9, and rotates the stirring paddle 41 at a rotation speed higher than the rotation speed from time t4 to t8. Let me.

時刻t10の後の時刻t11に、生成制御部72は、バルブ駆動処理部72aを通じて冷水供給弁36に閉指令を与えて冷水供給弁36を閉とさせることでミキシング部40への冷水の供給を停止する。ここで時刻t11であるが、時刻t9からの経過時間が、時刻t3から時刻t7までの経過時間よりも長大となるように設定されている。このように冷水供給弁36が、時刻t9から時刻t11まで再び開となることで、冷水供給部30から飲料原水(冷水)が上記所定量の残りの量だけミキシング部40に供給されることになる。 At time t11 after time t10, the generation control unit 72 gives a closing command to the chilled water supply valve 36 through the valve drive processing unit 72a to close the chilled water supply valve 36, thereby supplying chilled water to the mixing unit 40. Stop. Here, although it is time t11, the elapsed time from time t9 is set to be longer than the elapsed time from time t3 to time t7. By opening the cold water supply valve 36 again from time t9 to time t11 in this way, the drinking raw water (cold water) is supplied from the cold water supply unit 30 to the mixing unit 40 by the remaining amount of the predetermined amount. Become.

そして、時刻t11の後の時刻t12に、生成制御部72は、パドル駆動処理部72bを通じて撹拌パドル41に駆動停止指令を与えて撹拌パドル41を駆動停止にさせる。ここで時刻t12であるが、時刻t10からの回転時間が、撹拌パドル41が時刻t4から時刻t8まで回転する時間よりも長大となるように設定されている。つまり、撹拌パドル41は、時刻t10から時刻t12までは、時刻t4から時刻t8までの回転時間よりも長大で、かつ該回転時間よりも高回転で回転している。 Then, at time t12 after the time t11, the generation control unit 72 gives a drive stop command to the stirring paddle 41 through the paddle drive processing unit 72b to stop the stirring paddle 41 from being driven. Here, at time t12, the rotation time from time t10 is set to be longer than the time for the stirring paddle 41 to rotate from time t4 to time t8. That is, the stirring paddle 41 rotates from time t10 to time t12 at a longer rotation time than the rotation time from time t4 to time t8 and at a higher rotation time than the rotation time.

かかる時刻t12で撹拌パドル41を駆動停止にさせることで、その後にノズル42より所定量の飲料が飲料容器Cに供給される。 By stopping the drive of the stirring paddle 41 at such time t12, a predetermined amount of beverage is subsequently supplied from the nozzle 42 to the beverage container C.

このように本実施の形態である飲料供給装置10においては、選択ボタン60が押下操作されることにより飲料の供給指令が与えられた場合に、時刻t4から時刻t6まで原料モータ51を駆動させて飲料の生成に必要な所定量の飲料原料をミキシング部40に供給するとともに、時刻t3から時刻t5まで湯供給弁24を開とさせるとともに時刻t3から時刻t7まで冷水供給弁36を開とさせることで飲料の生成に必要な所定量の一部の量の飲料原水をミキシング部40に供給する。そして、時刻t4から時刻t8まで撹拌パドル41を予め設定された低回転数で回転させることで溶解運転を行う。 As described above, in the beverage supply device 10 of the present embodiment, when the beverage supply command is given by pressing the selection button 60, the raw material motor 51 is driven from the time t4 to the time t6. A predetermined amount of beverage raw material necessary for producing a beverage is supplied to the mixing unit 40, the hot water supply valve 24 is opened from time t3 to time t5, and the cold water supply valve 36 is opened from time t3 to time t7. The mixing unit 40 is supplied with a part of the raw beverage water, which is a predetermined amount necessary for producing the beverage. Then, the melting operation is performed by rotating the stirring paddle 41 at a preset low rotation speed from time t4 to time t8.

このように飲料原水の供給量を所定量の一部の量として撹拌パドル41を予め設定された低回転数で回転する溶解運転を行うことにより、飲料原水の水位を撹拌パドル41の回転領域にすることができ、飲料原料が飲料原水に溶けにくいものであっても、飲料原料と飲料原水とを良好に撹拌混合することができる。 By performing the dissolution operation in which the stirring paddle 41 is rotated at a preset low rotation speed with the supply amount of the drinking raw water as a part of the predetermined amount in this way, the water level of the drinking raw water is brought into the rotation region of the stirring paddle 41. Even if the beverage raw material is difficult to dissolve in the beverage raw water, the beverage raw material and the beverage raw water can be satisfactorily stirred and mixed.

そして、上記飲料供給装置10においては、溶解運転の後に、時刻t9から時刻t11まで冷水供給弁36を開とさせることで飲料の生成に必要な所定量の残りの量の飲料原水をミキシング部40に供給し、時刻t10から時刻t12まで撹拌パドル41を溶解運転での回転数よりも高い回転数で回転させる混合運転を、該溶解運転よりも長い時間行う。 Then, in the beverage supply device 10, the cold water supply valve 36 is opened from time t9 to time t11 after the dissolution operation to mix the remaining amount of raw beverage water required for producing the beverage with the mixing unit 40. The mixing operation is performed for a longer time than the melting operation, in which the stirring paddle 41 is rotated at a rotation speed higher than the rotation speed in the melting operation from the time t10 to the time t12.

このように混合運転を行うことにより、飲料原料と飲料原水とが十分に撹拌混合された所定量の飲料をミキシング部40に生成することができ、該飲料を飲料容器Cに供給することができる。 By performing the mixing operation in this way, a predetermined amount of beverage in which the beverage raw material and the beverage raw water are sufficiently stirred and mixed can be produced in the mixing unit 40, and the beverage can be supplied to the beverage container C. ..

以上説明したように、本実施の形態である飲料供給装置10によれば、制御部70が、飲料の供給指令が与えられた場合に、該飲料の生成に必要な所定量の飲料原料をミキシング部40に供給するとともに、該飲料の生成に必要な所定量の一部の量の飲料原水をミキシング部40に供給して撹拌パドル41を予め設定された回転数で回転させて溶解運転を所定時間行い、溶解運転の後に残りの量の飲料原水をミキシングに供給して撹拌パドル41を溶解運転での回転数よりも高い回転数で回転させる混合運転を、溶解運転の時間よりも長い時間行うので、飲料原料が飲料原水に溶けにくいものであっても、飲料原料を飲料原水に良好に混合させることができる。 As described above, according to the beverage supply device 10 of the present embodiment, the control unit 70 mixes a predetermined amount of beverage raw material required for producing the beverage when a beverage supply command is given. Along with supplying to the unit 40, a part of the predetermined amount of raw beverage water required for producing the beverage is supplied to the mixing unit 40, and the stirring paddle 41 is rotated at a preset rotation speed to determine a melting operation. After the dissolution operation, the mixing operation is performed for a longer time than the time of the dissolution operation by supplying the remaining amount of raw drinking water to the mixing and rotating the stirring paddle 41 at a rotation speed higher than the rotation speed in the dissolution operation. Therefore, even if the beverage raw material is difficult to dissolve in the beverage raw water, the beverage raw material can be mixed well with the beverage raw water.

以上、本発明の好適な実施の形態について説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、種々の変更を行うことができる。 Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made.

上述した実施の形態では、時刻t8にて撹拌パドル41を一旦駆動停止にさせて撹拌パドル41を慣性にて回転させ、その後の時刻t10にて該撹拌パドル41を駆動させていたが、本発明においては、溶解運転にて駆動させた撹拌部材(撹拌パドル41)の駆動を停止させずに混合運転に移行してもよい。この場合は、混合運転にて撹拌部材の回転数が徐々に高くしていくことが望ましい。この場合においても、飲料原料が飲料原水に溶けにくいものであっても、飲料原料を飲料原水に良好に混合させることができる。 In the above-described embodiment, the stirring paddle 41 is temporarily stopped at time t8, the stirring paddle 41 is rotated by inertia, and the stirring paddle 41 is driven at the subsequent time t10. In the above, the mixing operation may be started without stopping the driving of the stirring member (stirring paddle 41) driven in the melting operation. In this case, it is desirable that the rotation speed of the stirring member is gradually increased in the mixing operation. Even in this case, even if the beverage raw material is difficult to dissolve in the beverage raw water, the beverage raw material can be satisfactorily mixed with the beverage raw water.
