In this state, if it is detected that the temperature of the water in the hot water storage tank 62 is more than 90 ℃, the control unit 100 outputs the sale preparation completion signal to the same place as the display panel of the coin machine 101.

As such, when the user orders the ramen cooked using the coin machine 101 in a state in which preparation for sale is completed, the control unit 100 is installed in each seasoning container 41A, 41B of the seasoning supply unit 40. The dedicated motor 42 is operated to supply the soup stored in the seasoning containers 41A and 41B to the cooking container 31 of the container transfer part 30.

That is, the supply shaft 44 is rotated by the rotation of the shaft rotation motor 42, and thus the lower end of the seasoning container (41A, 41B) to the powder soup and dried vegetable soup, the spiral blade 43 is stored. It is to be supplied to the cooking vessel 31 through 41A. At this time, the shaft rotation motor 42 may be configured to rotate only a predetermined time or a predetermined angle by the control unit 100, which is to adjust the amount of seasoning is supplied.

In this way, the seasoning supply unit 40 is supplied to all the cooking soup 31, such as powder soup and vegetable soup.

At this time, the shaft rotation motor 42 is operated to operate the supply shaft 44 and at the same time the stopper operating portion 46 of the supply cut-off portion 49 is operated by the control unit 100 to shrink Thus, as shown in FIG. 5, the stopper operation part 46 is operated to open the lower end 41A of each of the seasoning containers 41A and 41B.

As described above, when the feed shaft 44 and the plug operation unit 46 is operated to supply soup, the supply shaft 44 stops the operation, and the power applied to the plug operation unit 46 is also cut off. The stopper 45 is returned to its original state by the restoring spring 47 to close the lower end portion 41A of each seasoning container 41A, 41B.

This is to prevent water vapor or various foreign substances generated from the cooking vessel 31 from entering each of the seasoning containers 41A and 41B.

Subsequently, the controller 100 operates the first motor 21 of the main shaft rotating unit 20 to rotate the support member 25 installed on the main shaft 23 at a constant speed.

The cooking vessel 31 rotatably installed in the fixture 24 so as to be rotated up and down by the support member 25 is rotated in one direction, the first of which is in the upper rail 33A of the container transfer part 30.

At this time, since the push rod 55C is arranged to be eccentric to the rotating plate 55B, when the fourth motor 55A is rotated once, the push rod is pushed back to the original state after pushing the ramen.

If the ramen is supplied to the cooking vessel 31 by the operation of the supply operation unit 55, and the cooking vessel 31 is rotated in one direction by the container transfer unit 30, the water supply unit ( The supply pipe 63 of 50 enters the installed position.

When the cooking vessel 31 supplied with the ramen enters the installation position of the supply pipe 63 as described above, the controller 100 operates the water pump 64 of the water supply unit 60 and at the same time the first The solenoid valve 65 is closed, and the second solenoid valve 67 is opened to cool water remaining in the water pump 64 or the supply pipe 63 through the return pipe 66. 62, the second solenoid valve 67 is closed and the first solenoid valve 65 is opened after a predetermined time elapses so that hot water of the hot water storage tank 62 is supplied to the supply pipe 63. It is to be supplied to the cooking vessel 31 through.

At this time, the amount of hot water supplied is preferably controlled by controlling the operating time of the first solenoid valve (65).

In addition, when the first solenoid valve 65 and the third solenoid valve 93 of the washing unit 90 do not operate, the second solenoid valve 67 is controlled to be in an open state.

When the cooking vessel 31 supplied with hot water by the water supply unit 60 is supported by the lower rail 33B and continues in one direction, the cooking start sensor 36B detects the progress of the cooking vessel 31. The control unit 100 receiving the signal controls the fuel supply unit 76 to open the valve 71A so that fuel is supplied to each of the cooking burners 71 and at the same time, the ignition member of the heating unit 70. (72) is activated.

When the ignition member 72 is operated by the controller 100, the first cooking burner 71 is ignited to heat the cooking vessel 31 supplied with soup, ramen and water, and the cooking vessel 31. ) Will proceed in one direction.

At this time, if each cooking burner 71 does not detect the ignition by the second ignition sensor 74, the fuel is blocked by the controller 100. In addition, each of the cooking burners 71 is not ignited as a whole, and the cooking vessel 31 to be cooked is sequentially ignited as it proceeds, which is the bottom of the cooking burner 71 and the cooking vessel 31 to be moved. By the interval between them. That is, since the cooking vessel 31 to be cooked is rotated while being supported by the lower rail 33B, the distance between the cooking vessel 31 and the cooking burner 71 is narrowed, and the cooking vessel 31 is rotated while the cooking vessel 31 is rotated. Ignite 71.

On the other hand, if the number of ramen ordered from the coin machine 101, the above process is made continuously. That is, soup, ramen and water are sequentially supplied to each of the cooking vessels 31 to be rotated, so that the heating unit 70 operates as described above to cook a plurality of ramen in a short time.
