6 to 9, a plurality of ascending / descending detection sensors 879 are arranged on the rear surface of the partition plate 871a inside the extracting unit mounting case 871 so as to be paired horizontally A rising / falling detection belt 877a is horizontally fixedly arranged on a rising / falling detection plate 877 fixedly disposed on the upper surface of the pressure cover member 873, and an end of the rising / falling detection belt 877a is divided Descending sensor 879 through the ascending / descending tension hole 871b formed on the plate 871a and is arranged to be in contact with the ascending / descending sensor 879. [

Therefore, in order to extract the coffee stock solution from the coffee stock solution extracting section 870, the ascending and descending axis 874 driven by the ascending and descending motor 875 is rotated so that the pressurizing cover member 873 and the pressing plate 872 are integrally spirally wound When the coffee capsule Cs is lowered by rotation, the rising and falling detection plate 877 fixedly assembled on the pressurizing cover member 873 ascends and descends, It is possible to detect the rising / falling state of the coffee stock solution extracting section 870 and to control the pressurized state (or the rising / falling position) by sensing the rising / falling state of the ascending / descending detection belt 877a in the descent detection sensor 879 do.

At this time, the pressure plate 872 presses the upper sealing surface 890 of the coffee capsule Cs to pierce the holes to supply hot water. A plurality of opening blades 872a are formed on the bottom surface of the pressure plate 872, And a hose connector 872b connected to the hot water supply hose (not shown) to provide hot water to the coffee capsule Cs through the inner surface of the pressure plate 872 is provided on one side of the pressure plate 872 .

Therefore, the hose connection port 872b of the pressure plate 872 is connected to a hot water supply unit (i.e., hot water tank) not shown in the figure through a hot water supply hose (not shown), thereby being provided inside the coffee capsule Cs You can get hot water to do.

Of course, it may not be necessary to provide the opening blade 872a on the bottom surface of the pressure plate 872. [

For example, a coffee capsule (Cs) of the type (or product) in which hot water can be introduced into the coffee capsule (Cs) without piercing the upper sealing surface (890) It is not necessary to provide the opening blade 872a on the bottom surface of the pressure plate 872 since it is not necessary to drill a hole in the upper sealing surface 890. [

9 and 10, a silicone sealing rubber made of a silicone material is attached to the bottom surface of the pressure plate 872 in the shape of a rim around the opening knife 872a, The silicon sealing pressure bonding portion 872c made of a material is inclined inward so that hot water is not leaked out by the silicone sealing pressure bonding portion 872c when pressure is applied while hot water is supplied to the bottom surface of the pressure plate 872. [

The pressing pedestal 878 is a member used when it is necessary to forcibly bore a hole in the bottom of the coffee capsule Cs when extracting the coffee ground liquid. And serves as a path for guiding the coffee stock solution extracted from the coffee capsule Cs to fall downward through the bottom of the mounting plate 801 while supporting the bottom.

That is, the pressure pedestal 878 is located on the bottom side of the coffee capsule Cs opposite to the pressure plate 872, and the coffee capsule Cs is pressed by the pressure plate 872, A hole is formed in the bottom surface of the coffee capsule Cs in contact with the bottom surface of the coffee capsule Cs to serve as a path for guiding the coffee raw material liquid extracted by the hot water supplied through the pressure plate 872 to free fall .

A support point 878a having a pointed structure capable of drilling a hole is vertically protruded from the center of the upper end of the pressing pedestal 878. The center of the support point 878a is provided with a through- The coffee bean liquid does not escape through the through hole at the center of the supporting needle 878a and flows down along the outer peripheral surface of the supporting needle 878a on the upper surface of the pressing pedestal 878 which is the periphery of the supporting needle 878a There is formed a through hole 878b through which the coffee stock solution can be discharged.

That is, when a hole is made in the bottom surface of the coffee capsule Cs by the support point 878a, a structurally fine gap is formed between the hole formed in the bottom surface of the coffee capsule Cs and the support point 878a, Through this gap, the coffee stock solution flows down along the outer circumferential surface of the support point 878a, and the coffee stock solution flowing downward is discharged downward through the through hole 878b formed in the upper surface of the pressing pedestal 878.

The bottom surface of the pressing pedestal 878 is in communication with a coffee-liquid-discharging hole 805 formed in the mounting plate 801.

At this time, depending on the type of the coffee capsules Cs, it may not be necessary to provide the pressurizing pedestal 878 if it is not necessary to forcibly bore holes for discharging the coffee stock solution to the bottom of the coffee capsules Cs .

For example, as shown in FIG. 19, among the kinds of coffee capsules Cs, when the coffee capsules Cs are produced, a large number of micropores 891b are formed on the bottom surface of the coffee capsules Cs, The micro-perforations 891b may be made of a structure in which the liquid coffee-based liquid is clogged with a non-woven fabric (not shown) or the like.

That is, in the case of the coffee capsule Cs of the above-mentioned kind, since the microcavity 891b is closed by the nonwoven fabric in a state where the coffee beans Cs are normally housed in the coffee capsule Cs, When the coffee raw solution is extracted, hot hot water flows into the coffee capsules Cs, so that the coffee raw solution can flow out through the nonwoven fabric covering the micropores Cs.

Therefore, in a vending machine using the above-described coffee capsule (Cs), there is no need to forcibly bore the bottom of the coffee capsule (Cs) for extracting the coffee stock solution, It is not necessary to provide the above.

The plunger drive motor 882 is provided between the plunging drive motor 882 and the lifting / A rod cam 884 for converting the rotational motion of the rod 882 into a rectilinear motion is mediated. The rod cam 884 is connected to the lower end of the rod 884, A position detection sensor 886 is provided.

The plunger drive motor 882 and the plunger position sensor 886 are fixedly mounted on a plate-shaped bracket 883 having a plurality of folded lattice-like plate-like structures fixedly attached to the bottom surface of the mounting plate 801.

In the capsule coffee bean dispenser according to the present invention having the above-described structure, the coffee capsules Cs loaded on the coffee capsule loading unit 800 are transferred to extract the coffee stock solution, and then the waste coffee capsules Cs1 are collected. The operation process will be briefly described with reference to the accompanying drawings of FIGS. 12 to 14. FIG.

12, when the coffee bean coffee sales control signal is input to a controller (not shown) according to the sales of coffee beans in the capsule coffee bean dispensing machine according to the present invention, The coffee capsule holder 852 provided in the coffee capsule cartridge 851 is accurately aligned right below the coffee capsule outlet 831 of the fixed disk 830 located below the coffee capsule cartridge 810.

The coffee capsule Cs dropped through the coffee capsule outlet 831 is fitted into the holder hole 852a and seated in the coffee capsule holder 852. [

The third position sensor 863 of the sensing unit 860 and the contact plate 851e of the guide boss 851d of the moving slide 851 are in contact with each other So that the coffee capsule holder 852 can always be accurately aligned right under the coffee capsule outlet 831 as described above.

In this state, the movable slide 851 is moved along the slide shaft 856 through the spiral rotational movement by screwing the movable slide 851 with the feed screw shaft 855 by driving the reciprocating feed motor 854, The contact plate 851e of the guide boss 851d of the moving slide 851 and the contact plate 851e of the sensing unit 860 are moved horizontally, The first position detecting sensor 861 touches and detects a moving position (i.e., an alignment position) of the predetermined moving slide 851, and sends a sensing signal to the control unit.

Accordingly, the control signal of the preset control unit is output in accordance with the input sensed signal, and the driving of the reciprocating feed motor 854 is stopped so that the horizontal movement of the moving slide 851 is stopped.

At this time, the coffee capsule holder 852 and the coffee capsule Cs of the moving slide 851 are aligned exactly to the lower right side of the coffee stock solution extractor 870 according to the predetermined alignment position.

Then, the control unit sends a control signal to the coffee extract unit 870 to extract the coffee extract from the coffee capsule Cs.

13, when the coffee concentrate extracting unit 870 extracts the coffee concentrate, the coffee concentrate extracting unit 870 extracts the coffee concentrate Cs The paper cup C is pulled out from the cup loading part (not shown) in the lower right portion of the coffee grounding liquid discharging hole 805 formed in the mounting plate 801 corresponding to the right and lower sides of the coffee cup 801.

Then, in the above state, the up / down motor 875 of the coffee stock solution extracting section 870 is operated to lower the pressurizing cover member 873 and the pressurizing plate 872 so that the upper end sealing surface 890 of the coffee capsule Cs, .

At this time, the opening blade 872a provided on the bottom surface of the pressure plate 872 punctures the upper end sealing surface 890 of the coffee capsule Cs and at the same time is connected to the hose connecting port 872b of the pressure plate 872 Hot water is supplied from a hot water supply unit (not shown) through a hot water supply hose (not shown), so that hot water is naturally supplied to the inside of the coffee capsule Cs to extract the coffee solution.

When the pressurizing plate 872 presses the coffee capsule Cs as described above, the coffee capsule holder 851 and the coffee capsule Cs are pressed against the holder inner surface 851b of the moving slide 851 by a pressing force, The coffee capsule Cs is pushed slightly downward (for example, about 4 mm) downward by the support cushion 878a of the pressurizing pedestal 878, which is in contact with the bottom of the coffee capsule Cs, A hole is formed in the bottom surface of the body.

As a result, the coffee ground liquid extracted by the hot water supplied into the coffee capsule Cs falls through the through-hole 878b of the pressure pedestal 878 into the free fall state through the coffee ground liquid discharge hole 805, And the coffee stock solution extracted with the prepared paper cup (C) is contained.

When the pressure cover member 873 and the pressure plate 872 are lowered as described above, the upward / downward detection plate 877 and the upward / downward movement detection belt 877a integrally fixed to the upper surface of the pressure cover member 873, Down sensor 879, which is in contact with the end of the descending ascending / descending detection belt 877a, detects the descending state (i.e., the descending position).

In accordance with the detected signal, the control unit finely controls the lowering position of the pressure plate 872 and controls the pressing force.

Then, when the extraction operation as described above operates for a predetermined time and the extraction of the coffee concentrate is completed, the coffee concentrate is extracted and the collection work for disposing the remaining waste coffee capsule Cs1 is performed.

That is, as shown in FIG. 14, after the extraction of the coffee liquid is completed, the moving slide 851 is moved horizontally toward the coffee capsule stacking unit 800 in accordance with the control signal of the control unit. At this time, The waste coffee capsule Cs1 is moved in a state where the waste coffee capsule Cs1 is seated in the coffee capsule holder 852 of the coffee cup holder 851.

19, the contact plate 851e of the guide boss 851d provided on the moving slide 851 and the contact plate 851e of the sensing portion 860 of the second position The detection sensor 862 senses the movement position (i.e., the alignment position) of the movement slide 851 passing in front of the waste coffee capsule rejection 880, which is the predetermined alignment position, and sends a detection signal to the control unit .

Accordingly, the control signal of the control unit set in advance in accordance with the input sensed signal is output to stop the driving of the reciprocating feed motor 854, so that the horizontal movement of the moving slide 851 is transmitted to the capsule receptacle And stops in a precisely aligned state in front of the pipe 881.

As a result, the waste coffee capsule Cs1 seated in the coffee capsule holder 852 of the moving slide 851 is lifted upright from the bottom of the mounting plate 801 to the upper surface of the lifting and lowering bar 885, It is located in the room.

At the same time, the collection of the waste coffee capsule Cs1 is performed in the waste coffee capsule rejection 880. [

First, the control unit outputs a drive control signal for driving the pushing drive motor 882, and thereby the pushing drive motor 882 is driven.

When the rod driving motor 882 is driven as described above, the rotational force of the rod driving motor 882 is transmitted to the rod cam 884, and the rotational motion of the rod driving motor 882 is rectilinearly And moves up and down the lifting and lowering rod 885 connected to the load cam 884 while converting it into motion.

When the lifting and lowering push rod 885 is raised and lowered as described above, the lifting and lowering push rod 885 is guided by the guide bracket 887 and pushes the waste coffee capsule Cs1 firmly against the bottom face.

Accordingly, the waste coffee capsule Cs1 is separated from the coffee capsule holder 852, and then the coffee beans are poured into the waste coffee capsule inlet 808 of the pipe 881 through the capsule receptacle located at the front of the coffee capsule holder 852, Cs1 is discharged into the capsule receptacle through the inner passage of the pipe 881 and dropped through the waste coffee capsule outlet 807 to the lower side of the mounting plate 801 so as to be collected in a previously prepared receptacle (not shown) do.

At this time, the drive control according to the ascending / descending movement of the ascending / descending rod 885 detects the ascending / descending state of the pushing position sensor 886 which contacts the load cam 884 in accordance with the displacement of the rod cam 884, And a control unit receiving the detection signal.

When the collection of the waste coffee capsule Cs1 is completed, the moving slide 851 moves horizontally toward the coffee capsule loading part 800 as shown in FIG. 5 under the control of the controller, And the coffee capsule Cs supplied from the coffee maker 800 can be moved.

As described above, in the capsule bean coffee machine according to the present invention, coffee beans Cs loaded on the coffee capsule loading unit 800 are transferred according to the user's coffee beans purchase signal to extract the coffee bean liquid, And automatically performs the sequential operation process of collecting the data repeatedly and automatically.

Meanwhile, according to various modified embodiments of the present invention, the coffee capsule can carry out various modifications of the reciprocating transporting means 853 of the transfer section 850.

For example, as shown in Fig. 15, it is also possible to provide a reciprocating conveying means 853 composed of a rack 857 and a pinion 857a for reciprocating the conveying slide 851 horizontally.

That is, the reciprocating conveying means 853 includes a reciprocating conveying motor 854 provided on a supporting block 857b integrally formed on the bottom surface of the moving slide 851, and a reciprocating conveying motor 854 connected to the reciprocating conveying motor 854, And a rack 857 disposed on the upper surface of the mounting plate 801 and engaged with the pinion 857a to guide the reciprocating horizontal transport of the transporting slide 851. [

Accordingly, the pinion 857a is moved along the rack 857 through the gear drive under the driving force of the reciprocating feed motor 854, so that the reciprocating horizontal movement of the moving slide 851 can be performed precisely and stably .

Next, the operation of the lifting means by the sound-memory alloy element will be described.

17 (a) and 17 (b) are views for explaining a case where the coffee ground liquid extracting portion of the present invention has a sound receiving opening portion 878a of the pressure receiving pedestal, 17 (a) is a moment when the capsule Cs is placed on the upper part of the pressing pedestal 878 of the capsule, and FIG. 17 (b) is a perspective view illustrating the state where the hot water is pressurized The formed thin plate 890d of the circular protruding portion 890b formed on the lower capsule bottom surface 890a is peeled off by the notch 890c on the supporting point 878a of the pressing pedestal 878. [

The capsule Cs is mounted on the upper portion of the pressing pedestal 878 of the capsule and the circular protrusion 890b formed in the lower capsule bottom plate 890a is inserted into the through hole 878a of the pressing pedestal 878, The sound-memorizing alloy element 879a is operated by the sound of the formed thin plate 890d being peeled off by the notch 890c to stop the lowering of the pressure plate 872. [

The sound memory alloy element 879a itself is a known technology and a movable part of the sound memory alloy element 879a is connected to a rising and falling detection plate 877 connected to the pressure cover member 873, When a sound is sensed at a certain point, a stop operation is performed. In application to the present invention, sound is generated while opening the opening formed on the bottom of the capsule, There is an effect that can be done.

In addition, when the sound of the capsule is not generated, the bottom of the capsule is not pierced, and it is effective to make the program to be processed badly, and when the capsule is bad and the operation is impossible, There is a very useful structure.

Next, a description will be given of a state in which the coffee raw material extracting section senses the opening sound by the supporting point 878a of the pressing pedestal by means of the memory element and generates a signal indicating whether or not it is pressurized.

17 (a) and 17 (b), a silicon sealing rubber made of a silicone material is bonded in the form of a rim around the opening blade 872a on the bottom surface of the pressure plate 872, The silicone sealing sealing portion 872c made of silicon is inclined inward so that hot water is prevented from leaking out of the silicone sealing sealing portion 872c when the hot water is supplied to the bottom surface of the pressing plate 872 and pressure is applied thereto.

The pressing pedestal 878 is a member used when it is necessary to forcibly bore a hole in the bottom of the coffee capsule Cs when extracting the coffee ground liquid. And serves as a path for guiding the coffee stock solution extracted from the coffee capsule Cs to fall downward through the bottom of the mounting plate 801 while supporting the bottom.

That is, the pressure pedestal 878 is located on the bottom side of the coffee capsule Cs opposite to the pressure plate 872, and the coffee capsule Cs is pressed by the pressure plate 872, A hole is formed in the bottom surface of the coffee capsule Cs in contact with the bottom surface of the coffee capsule Cs to serve as a path for guiding the coffee raw material liquid extracted by the hot water supplied through the pressure plate 872 to free fall .

A support point 878a having a pointed structure capable of drilling a hole is vertically protruded from the center of the upper end of the pressing pedestal 878. The center of the support point 878a is provided with a through- The coffee bean liquid does not escape through the through hole at the center of the supporting needle 878a and flows down along the outer peripheral surface of the supporting needle 878a on the upper surface of the pressing pedestal 878 which is the periphery of the supporting needle 878a There is formed a through hole 878b through which the coffee stock solution can be discharged.

That is, when a hole is made in the bottom surface of the coffee capsule Cs by the support point 878a, a structurally fine gap is formed between the hole formed in the bottom surface of the coffee capsule Cs and the support point 878a, Through this gap, the coffee stock solution flows down along the outer circumferential surface of the support point 878a, and the coffee stock solution flowing downward is discharged downward through the through hole 878b formed in the upper surface of the pressing pedestal 878.

Here, the unillustrated reference numeral 878c is a sealing edge for sealing the lower surface of the capsule.

The bottom surface of the pressing pedestal 878 is in communication with a coffee-liquid-discharging hole 805 formed in the mounting plate 801.

At this time, depending on the type of the coffee capsules Cs, it may not be necessary to provide the pressurizing pedestal 878 if it is not necessary to forcibly bore holes for discharging the coffee stock solution to the bottom of the coffee capsules Cs .

The upper and lower lifting and lowering means are disposed at the upper end of the lifting member 440 so that the upper and lower lifting and lowering means can be slid close to the upper end of the lifting and lowering member 440. [ And the guide rails 442a and 442b are provided on the side plate 443 attached to the case body to allow the upper and lower operations to be performed, And a motor 446 and a reduction gear 447 can be used for the up and down operation.

For smooth operation of the elevating member 440, guide grooves 445 may be formed on both side portions of the elevating member using the side plate 443 so as to be vertically moved.

Accordingly, as the lifting member 440 descends, the capsule Cs is seated on the pressing pedestal 878, and the through-hole forming plate 890d is peeled off by the receiving touch 878a, And the sound-memorizing composite element for sensing the sound causes the sound to be memorized. When the sound is heard, the driving of the motor is stopped to stop the lifting member 440 descending.

Of course, at this time, the lifting member 440 can be raised up to about 2 mm for smooth descent of the coffee liquid.

Thereafter, after the pressing operation of the capsule is performed for a predetermined time, the elevating member 440 rises again, so that the pressing operation is completed once, and the moving slide 851 can move.

On the other hand, Figs. 18 and 19 show embodiments of coffee capsules according to the present invention.
