Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a nozzle position adjustment device for a cup-type vending machine that dispenses beverages such as coffee and juice into cups.

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional nozzle position adjustment device for a cup-type vending machine will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a nozzle for supplying beverages into a cup, which is attached to one end of a mounting plate 2 with an inclined tip. Two elongated holes 3 and 4 are formed in the mounting plate 2 in the direction away from the nozzle 1. A fixed plate 5 is attached to the wall of the vending machine and is bent into a substantially L shape to form a screw hole 6 in the vertical wall 5a. Reference numeral 7 denotes an adjustment plate bent into a substantially L-shape, and has a horizontally long hole 7b in a vertical wall 7a, and a screw hole 8 in a horizontal wall 7c. Then, a screw 9 passing through the hole 7b is tightened and fixed in the screw hole 6. Further, the mounting plate 2 also has screws 10 passing through the elongated holes 3 and 4 attached to the screw holes 8.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above configuration, in order to adjust the position of the beverage discharged from the nozzle so that it hits the circumferential wall of the cup, screws 9, 10 had to be adjusted with a screwdriver, and the same work had to be repeated several times.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a nozzle position adjusting device for a cup-type vending machine that can perform a series of adjustments continuously.

Means to Solve the Problems The present invention involves forming long holes in each of the mounting plate with the nozzle and the fixing plate attached to the vending machine, and attaching it with screws and nuts by penetrating both the long holes. be.

Effect: By loosening the screw,
The mounting plate can be rotated within the elongated hole using screws as supporting parts to adjust the discharge direction of the nozzle.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a nozzle with a bent tip, which is attached to one end side of a flat mounting plate 12. Two elongated holes 13 extending in a direction away from the nozzle 11 are formed in the mounting plate 12 in parallel.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a pedestal for the cup 15, which is not shown in the figure, but supports the cup 15 supplied from the cup collection point when selling beverages, and the beverage is delivered from the nozzle 11 to the cup 15.
Supply inside. 16 is a beverage storage tank, which is connected to the nozzle 11 through a hose 16a. 1
Reference numeral 7 denotes a fixing plate, and a long hole 18 intersecting with the long hole 13 of the mounting plate 12 is formed in the horizontal wall 17a. This long hole 18 is formed larger than the long hole 13. Reference numeral 19 denotes a nut, which is larger in shape than the elongated hole 18 and will not fall through the elongated hole 18. The fixing plate 17 is sandwiched between the nut 19 and the mounting plate 12, and screws 20 are attached to the nut 19 to fix it. At this time, there are two screws 20,
Each of them passes through a long hole 13 and is attached to a nut 19.

In such devices, it is necessary to adjust the direction of the nozzle 11 so that the beverage supplied from the nozzle 11 hits the arc-shaped wall of the cup 15 in a tangential direction, so that the beverage flows along the wall surface of the cup 15. Ta. The reason for this is to stir well when sugar or milk is mixed with drinks such as coffee. This adjustment is made by loosening the screws 20, which allows the mounting plate 12 to move within the elongated hole 18, and since the play is large, it can be rotated until the two screws 20 hit the opposing walls 18a and 18b. .

This makes it possible to adjust the drink so that it tangentially hits the wall surface of the cup 15 supplied at a fixed position on the pedestal 14, so that even if the size of the cup 15 changes, it can be easily adjusted.

Further, since the heads 20a of the screws 20 can be set in the same direction, work efficiency is also improved.

Effects of the invention As is clear from the above embodiments, the present invention allows the mounting plate to move between the fixing plate and its own elongated hole by loosening the screws. Since the nozzle can be rotated and the position of the nozzle can be adjusted, the angle at which the beverage hits the cup can be easily adjusted, improving work efficiency.
