Description

飲品調製設備Drink brewing equipment

本發明是有關於一種飲品調製設備，且特別是有關於一種自動化的飲品調製設備。The invention relates to a beverage brewing equipment, and in particular to an automated beverage brewing equipment.

現代人喜歡喝飲料，特別是手調飲品。手調飲品是在液體原料如水、果汁、茶、咖啡、鮮乳等中視客戶需求加入如果粒等的不同的固體原料，再經由調製者藉由不同的調製方法如搖晃、攪拌等，手動地將原料於調製杯中混合均勻的所製作出的飲品。手調飲料相較於傳統的罐裝飲料的優勢在於，客戶能夠選擇在不同的液體原料加入不同的固體原料，且能夠使用多種調製方法來調製這些原料，提供多樣化且客製化的飲品供客戶選擇，自然受到社會大眾的喜愛。尤其在夏天時，幾乎是人手一杯手調飲品，其受歡迎的程度可見一斑。Modern people like to drink drinks, especially hand-made drinks. Hand-made drinks are liquid raw materials such as water, juice, tea, coffee, fresh milk, etc., according to customer needs, adding different solid raw materials such as granules, etc., and then through the brewer through different preparation methods such as shaking, stirring, etc., manually The raw materials are mixed evenly in the brewing cup to make the drink. Compared with traditional canned beverages, the advantage of hand-made beverages is that customers can choose to add different solid raw materials to different liquid raw materials, and can use a variety of preparation methods to prepare these raw materials, providing diversified and customized beverages. Customers' choice is naturally favored by the general public. Especially in the summer, almost everybody has a cup of hand-made drinks, which shows its popularity.

然而，相較於罐裝飲品能透過工業化的製程自動進行大量生產並在販售場所先行冷藏降溫，手調飲品因種類繁多，程序複雜，且需加入冰塊進行調製以即時提供冰涼的飲品，故需要相當程度的人工操作技巧，且不適合大量自動調製，在時間和成本上無法與罐裝飲品相提並論。因此，如何設計能夠自動加入冰塊並調製手調飲品且能夠進行妥善清潔的設備，以節省調製手調飲品的人力以及時間，是手調飲品領域的重要課題。However, compared to canned drinks that can be mass-produced automatically through an industrialized process and are first refrigerated and cooled in the sales places, hand-made drinks have a variety of types and complicated procedures, and ice cubes are required to be mixed to provide ice-cold drinks immediately. Therefore, a considerable degree of manual operation skills is required, and it is not suitable for a large number of automatic preparations, and cannot be compared with canned drinks in terms of time and cost. Therefore, how to design equipment that can automatically add ice cubes and prepare hand-made beverages and can be properly cleaned to save manpower and time for preparing hand-made beverages is an important issue in the field of hand-made beverages.

以下說明本實施例的調製單元120的配置與作用方式。圖7是圖1的調製單元的立體圖。請參考圖7，本實施例的調製單元120包括一調製杯122，調製杯122具有兩閥門122a，所述原料例如藉由適當之管路而從原料供應單元110被輸送至調製杯122的兩閥門122a的其中之一(如位於上方的閥門122a)處，且製冰單元180的冰塊出口182對應於兩閥門122a的其中之一(如位於上方的閥門122a)處。當兩閥門122a的其中之一(如位於上方的閥門122a)開啟且兩閥門122a的其中之另一(如位於下方的閥門122a)關閉時，來自原料供應單元110的這些原料及來自製冰單元180的冰塊出口182的冰塊可透過開啟的閥門122a而進入調製杯122。當兩閥門122a皆關閉時，這些原料及冰塊適於在調製杯122內被調製。當兩閥門122a的其中之一(如位於上方的閥門122a)關閉且兩閥門122a的其中之另一(如位於下方的閥門122a)開啟時，調製杯122內的飲品適於透過開啟的閥門122a而移離調製杯122並往飲品出口120a(繪示於圖2)移動。本實施例的調製杯122藉由上述雙閥門122a的設計而可方便且快速地讓原料及冰塊進入調製杯122及讓飲品移離調製杯122，而不需以翻轉、傾倒等方式來驅動調製杯122作動，故可簡化驅動機構的設計並提升自動化調製飲品的作業速度。The configuration and function of the modulation unit 120 of this embodiment will be described below. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the modulation unit of Fig. 1. Please refer to FIG. 7, the brewing unit 120 of this embodiment includes a brewing cup 122. The brewing cup 122 has two valves 122a. The raw material is transported from the raw material supply unit 110 to two of the brewing cup 122, for example, by appropriate pipes. One of the valves 122a (for example, the upper valve 122a), and the ice outlet 182 of the ice making unit 180 corresponds to one of the two valves 122a (for example, the upper valve 122a). When one of the two valves 122a (such as the upper valve 122a) is opened and the other of the two valves 122a (such as the lower valve 122a) is closed, the raw materials from the raw material supply unit 110 and the ice-making unit The ice cubes at the ice cube outlet 182 of 180 can enter the brewing cup 122 through the opened valve 122a. When the two valves 122a are closed, the raw materials and ice cubes are suitable for being brewed in the brewing cup 122. When one of the two valves 122a (such as the upper valve 122a) is closed and the other of the two valves 122a (such as the lower valve 122a) is opened, the beverage in the brewing cup 122 is suitable for passing through the opened valve 122a Move away from the brewing cup 122 and move to the beverage outlet 120a (shown in FIG. 2). The brewing cup 122 of this embodiment can easily and quickly let the raw materials and ice cubes enter the brewing cup 122 and move the beverage out of the brewing cup 122 by virtue of the design of the above-mentioned double valve 122a, without being driven by turning, pouring, etc. The brewing cup 122 is activated, so the design of the driving mechanism can be simplified and the working speed of automatic brewing of beverages can be improved.

The sealing member 122a2 is, for example, a rubber member or a silicone member, and the elastic member 122a3 is, for example, a spring. The sealing element 122a2 is connected to the elastic element 122a3 and seals the opening 122a1 by the elastic force of the elastic element 122a3. The sealing member 122a2 is adapted to receive a force and resist the elastic force of the elastic member 122a3 to move away from the mouth 122a1. In this embodiment, for example, a pushing structure for pushing the sealing member 122a2 is arranged at the upper valve 122a, so as to push the sealing member 122a2 at an appropriate time to open the opening 122a1, allowing the raw materials and ice cubes to be pushed against the sealing member 122a2. The brewing cup 122 can be entered through the opening 122a1. Similarly, in this embodiment, for example, the lower valve 122a is provided with a pushing structure for pushing the sealing member 122a2, and this pushing structure is formed on the top of the beverage outlet 120a (shown in FIG. 2), for example. , Used to push the sealing member 122a2 at an appropriate time to open the opening 122a1, so that the beverage can move out of the brewing cup 122 through the opening 122a1.
