Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field The present invention relates to a food and beverage counter equipped with a crescent type flat top chain conveyor having a mounting table, that is, a food and beverage counter equipped with a crescent type endless chain conveyor. , relates to a food and beverage counter equipped with a crescent-type endless chain conveyor having a mounting table for transporting foodstuffs and the like.

(b) Prior art and problems Conventionally, an endless transfer path was formed at the counter, and food and drinks were placed on this transfer path so that neither the customers sitting at the counter nor the cook at the counter had to move. Furthermore, food and beverage counters with conveyors that allow customers to choose their favorite dishes while eating and drinking are widely used, from sushi and other dishes that are eaten immediately to yakiniku (grilled meat) that customers prepare themselves. This is helping to reduce labor shortages in restaurants by promoting labor savings.

Conventionally, a crescent-type endless chain conveyor has been used in the endless transfer path of such a food and drink counter with a conveyor. However, since the width of the transfer path of this crescent-type endless chain conveyor is constant, it is difficult to transfer multiple dishes or multiple containers containing ingredients, especially large and small dishes or large and small sets. When transferring dishes, etc., the containers, etc. to be transferred are lined up in the direction of transfer, making it impossible to clearly distinguish between adjacent sets of dishes. Therefore, although the boundaries are indicated by leaving spaces between adjacent sets of dishes or by inserting markings between them, there are cases where the boundaries become unclear during the long transportation process. was considered a problem.

(c) Structure and function of the device The present device solves the above-mentioned problems, and is capable of transporting large and small dishes as well as sets of large and small dishes, etc., and takes special consideration to the boundaries between them. To provide a crescent-type endless transfer conveyor that does not require cleaning.

That is, in a food and beverage counter equipped with a crescent-shaped endless chain conveyor having a mounting table on a crescent-shaped top plate, the crescent-shaped top plate is attached to the pins of the endless chain roller.
A part of the pin is used as a locking part and protrudes upward, and is rotatably attached, and the mounting table is
Two locking holes formed on the underside of the table at intervals of the locking portions in the connecting direction of the crescent-shaped top plates are loosely fitted into the locking portions of two adjacent crescent-shaped top plates, respectively. A crescent-type endless chain conveyor has a mounting table that is attached to two crescent-shaped top plates and is placed with its lower surface in contact with the upper surfaces of the two attached crescent-shaped top plates. It is located at the food and beverage counter.

The crescent-type endless chain conveyor of the present invention is an endless chain conveyor whose top plate is crescent-shaped. Since the pin of the roller protrudes to form a locking portion, the projection can be loosely fitted or loosely inserted into the locking hole formed on the lower surface of the mounting table, and the mounting table can be freely rotated on the crescent-shaped top plate. Can be installed on. In order to make the mounting table large enough to accommodate, for example, a large set of dishes, the mounting table is placed on two crescent-shaped top plates, for example, since the width of the transfer path is constant. However, in this case, two locking holes are formed on the bottom surface of the mounting table to match the spacing between the protruding chain roller pins of the corresponding crescent-shaped top plate. By loosely fitting, that is, loosely fitting, loosely inserting, or loosely passing the locking portions formed by the protruding chain roller pins into the corresponding locking holes, the mounting table can be placed over the two crescent plates. It can be mounted rotatably.

In the food and beverage counter equipped with the crescent-type endless chain conveyor of the present invention, the locking hole formed on the lower surface of the mounting table is formed to be able to freely engage with the pin of the chain roller protruding from the upper surface of the crescent plate. For example, the locking hole formed on the lower surface of the mounting table that engages with the pin of the chain roller protruding from the upper surface of the crescent plate may be a recess, a blind hole, a through hole, or a hole such that the protruding locking portion is loosely fitted. is formed in a groove or the like.

The pin of the chain roller protruding from the upper surface of the crescent plate can be a pivot pin or an umbrella pin.

The food and drink counter equipped with the crescent-type endless chain conveyor of the present invention can be mainly used for, for example, tableware, food containers, bottles, cans, and containers for storing them.

(D) Embodiment FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view of a food and beverage counter equipped with a crescent-type endless chain conveyor according to an embodiment of the present invention, particularly showing the crescent plate and the mounting table. FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a mounting table attached across two crescent plates.

Hereinafter, the crescent type endless chain conveyor of the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited by this explanation in any way.

In FIG. 1, only one lane of the double lane is shown, and the other lane is omitted and not shown because it has a substantially similar symmetrical structure.

The conveyor-equipped food and drink counter 1 is provided with a frame 2 along its counter table (not shown).
The upper part of the frame 2 is recessed to form a teacup holder 3. A base 4 protruding from the ceiling of the teacup holder 3 is provided with a tea faucet 5 for dispensing tea.
The tea faucet 5 is connected to a tea supply pipe (not shown).

The platform part 4 is provided with a frame 6 and a rail pedestal 7, and a guide groove 8 attached to the rail pedestal 7 is provided with an opening/closing door 9. The ceiling portion 10 of the frame 6 is covered with a heat insulating material such as styrofoam. A color rendering lamp 11 and a cooling pipe 12 are arranged on the ceiling part 10, and a condensed droplet receiving part 13 is provided. A rail frame 14 that defines a transfer path is formed parallel to the rail pedestal 7 inside the partitioned area by the opening/closing door 9, and within this rail frame 14,
Two rows of folded crescent-type chain conveyors 16 with moon-shaped top plates are arranged across the partition frame 15 (one conveyor row is outside the broken line and is omitted and not shown).

The crescent-type chain conveyor 16 is movably mounted within a guide rail 17 formed one step lower in the rail frame 14, and is moved by the drive of an endless chain roller 18.

The crescent plate 19 of the top plate is pivotally connected to the endless chain roller by, for example, a long umbrella pin 20, and the head of the umbrella pin 20 is connected to the crescent plate 1.
It pierces through and protrudes above 9. Mounting table 21
A hole 22 into which the umbrella pin 20 is loosely fitted is formed, and the hole 22 is arranged so as to be able to freely rotate around the umbrella pin 20.

A protruding edge 23 is formed on the periphery of the mounting table 21 to prevent dishes placed on the mounting table 21 from easily slipping out from the mounting table 21.

For dishes that take up a large area, for example, a large elliptical mounting table 21 shown in FIG. 2 is used.
This large mounting table can have a shape other than an ellipse, such as a rectangle with rounded corners, as long as it does not come into contact with the rail frame 14 or the subsequent mounting table 21. Such a large mounting table 21 has two locking holes 24 and 25 formed on the lower surface.For example, the locking hole 24 is connected to the umbrella pin 20 of the front crescent plate 19.
and the other locking hole 25 engages with the umbrella pin 20 of the rear crescent plate 19, so that it is attached across the two crescent plates 19 and 19.

Since the food and drink counter equipped with the crescent-type chain conveyor of the present invention is formed as described above, a small set, for example, a food set, can be transferred using a small mounting table, and a large food set can be transferred. In this case, a large loading table is used for the transfer. In this way, different types of dishes, ingredients, etc. can be transferred without confusing their boundaries.

Therefore, a customer who has taken a seat at the table can freely open the door and take out, for example, a food set that is delivered on a table without misunderstanding the boundary between it and other food sets.

(e) Effects of the invention In the food and beverage counter equipped with the crescent-type chain conveyor of the present invention, in particular, placing tables of various sizes are placed on the crescent-shaped top plate, and various large and small sets of articles, containers, etc. can be placed on the top plate. Since it is possible to separate and transport, for example, when applied to a food and beverage counter with a conveyor, sets of dishes of various sizes can be separated and sent. Therefore, compared to a food counter equipped with a conventional crescent-type chain conveyor, it is possible to transfer various types of dishes and food sets while avoiding boundary troubles. At the food and beverage counter, it is possible to easily transfer dishes that require a lot of effort and are difficult to handle, and it is also easy for the cooking side to check empty food tables.

Moreover, by changing the height of the mounting table,
Trouble such as contact with the rail frame etc. can be avoided.

As mentioned above, by providing a mounting table,
Crescent-type chain conveyors can be used for a variety of purposes, are convenient to use, and have a large impact.
