Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a teacup conveyance device for a food and beverage conveyor that automatically conveys teacups from the kitchen to a counter.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in a food service system that has a food conveyor such as a rotary sushi machine, in order to serve teacups to customers at the counter, each time the customer is seated, the person in front of the counter or the staff outside the counter must Tea cups were distributed, or customers were allowed to take their own tea cups that had been placed at appropriate locations near the counter.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) Conventionally, as described above, it was necessary to have several tea cup distribution personnel stationed around the counter at all times to distribute tea cups, which resulted in high labor costs.
The problem was that the company was at a disadvantage in terms of management.

In view of these drawbacks, the present invention aims to provide a teacup conveying device for a food and beverage conveyor that can save labor in distributing teacups.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a system in which each crescent chain conveyor is installed on both sides in the longitudinal direction of a planar rectangular automatic feeding device with one side facing into the kitchen, and on the other side facing the kitchen. A light storage case is arranged along the Crescent Chain Conveyor, and a belt conveyor with bearing plates serving as side walls is arranged on both sides above the counter on the outside of each Crescent Chain Conveyor. The base ends of each of the belt conveyors installed in A rotary fixed roller conveyor is provided, and a stopper plate for stopping the leading teacup is provided at one end of the other belt conveyor facing the kitchen.

(Effect of idea) The effect of this idea will be explained.

When supplying tea cups from the kitchen to the hall using the teacup conveyance device in the food and beverage conveyor according to this invention, both sides of the automatic feeding device in the longitudinal direction and the other belt conveyor facing the kitchen are operated simultaneously by motors. At this time, the belt conveyors on both sides are run in the direction of arrow P, and the other belt conveyor is run in the direction of arrow Q.

When the tea cups are sequentially placed on the proximal ends of positions A and B (FIG. 1) in the kitchen, the tea cups are conveyed one after another in the direction of arrow P on the belt conveyors on both sides. On this occasion,
Since bearing plates that serve as side walls are provided on both sides of the belt conveyor, the tea cups do not fall off the belt conveyor and are transported in an orderly manner.

When the leading teacup reaches the tips of the belt conveyors on both sides, it is transferred onto each freely rotatable fixed roller conveyor connected to the other belt conveyor.

One of the fixed roller conveyors (A in Figure 1)
The teacups that are sequentially moved up (side) are pushed by the following teacups and transferred onto the other belt conveyor. At this time, since bearing plates serving as side walls are provided on both sides of the fixed roller conveyor, the teacups are transported in an orderly manner without falling off the fixed roller conveyor.

Said other fixed roller conveyor (B in Figure 1)
The teacups that are sequentially transferred to the upper side) are pushed by the following teacups and come into contact with a stopper plate provided at the tip of the other belt conveyor, and are stopped on the fixed roller conveyor. At this time, since this fixed roller conveyor is also provided with a bearing plate similar to the above,
Tea cups will not fall off the fixed roller conveyor.

After the belt conveyors on both sides, the other belt conveyor, and both fixed roller conveyors are full of tea cups, the supply of tea cups from the kitchen is stopped. At this time, since the motor is running, the belt conveyors on both sides and the other belt conveyor are connected to the arrow P.
Although the teacups are traveling in the direction of arrow Q, the fully loaded teacup group is in a stopped state.

When a customer pulls out the teacup to be used from the group of teacups stopped at position C in Figure 1, an empty space will be created in the area where the teacup is placed, but as the conveyor belt continues to run, there will be no space left behind for the teacup. A group of teacups will be transported.
At this time, since a total amount of empty space is generated at the base end of both belt conveyors, teacups corresponding to this empty space are sequentially replenished from the kitchen.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the teacup conveying device for the food and drink conveyor according to the present invention has the following configuration.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a hall 3 and a kitchen 4 are separated by a boundary wall 2, and a planar rectangular base 5 is installed on the floor F in contact with the boundary wall 2 on the hall 3 side. On the upper surface, a crescent chain conveyor 6 and a crescent chain conveyor 6' are provided on both sides of the base 5 in the longitudinal direction and on the other side facing the kitchen 4 so as to be able to circulate freely.

Counters 7, 7' having a U-shape in plan are provided on the outside of the crescent chain conveyors 6, 6'.

Above the crescent chain conveyors 6, 6' via a large number of supports 9 on the inner wall 8 of the base 5, there is a lighting lamp storage case 11 for accommodating lighting lights 10 along each of the crescent chain conveyors 6, 6'. is provided.

A hot water supply ring 13 is provided at an appropriate location on the outer wall 12 of the base 5 above the counters 7, 7'.

The automatic feeding device 1 is formed by the above configuration.

a counter 7 on the outer periphery of the illumination lamp housing case 11;
A teacup conveying device 14, which will be described later, is disposed above 7'.

The teacup conveying device 14 has the following configuration.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, a belt conveyor 17 is provided on the outside of the illumination light storage case 11 on both sides of the automatic feeding device 1 in the longitudinal direction, and is provided with bearing plates 15 serving as side walls on both sides. . The bearing plate 15 of this embodiment is longer than the belt conveyor 17,
The long portion of the base 16 of the bearing plate 15 is located in the kitchen 4 together with the base end 18 of the belt conveyor 17.

A drive roller 19 is rotatably attached to the base end 18 of the belt conveyor 17 via a pillow block (bearing) 20.

A driven roller 21 is installed at the tip of the belt conveyor 17.
is rotatably mounted via a pillow block (bearing) 22.

An endless belt 23 of the belt conveyor 17 is hung between the driving roller 19 and the driven roller 22, respectively.

A V-belt 28 is suspended between a pulley 25 fixed to the drive shaft 24 of the drive roller 19 and a motor pulley 27 of a motor 26 provided on the upper surface of the base of the illumination lamp housing 11.

Also above the other crescent chain conveyor 6' facing the kitchen 4 of the automatic feeding device 1, there is provided a belt conveyor 17' which is provided with bearing plates 15' serving as side walls on both sides and is movable by a drive motor 26'. There is.

A stopper plate 29 is provided at the tip 33 (lower end in FIG. 1) of the belt conveyor 17' to stop the leading teacup Y being transferred.
