自動抽出器 技術分野 Automatic extractor technical field

本発明は、 フィルターに収容した、 例えばコーヒー粉のような被抽出物に注湯し て抽出物を取り出し、 カップに溜めるようにした自動抽出器に関する。 背景技術  The present invention relates to an automatic extractor in which an extract is taken out by pouring into an extract such as coffee powder contained in a filter, and the extract is taken out and stored in a cup. Background art

フィルタ一に収容したコーヒー粉に熱湯を注いでコーヒー液を抽出するコ一ヒ —メーカーは古くから知られており、 フィルターの材料として紙、 ネルが用いられ る。  A coffee maker that pours hot water into coffee grounds in a filter to extract coffee liquor has been known for a long time, and paper and flannel are used as filter materials.

紙製のフィルタ一は、濾化した後にそのままカップに溜めるようにして使用され るが、 目が粗く一気に全体で濾化するため、 抽出時間が早くなるものの味が薄くな る欠点がある。  Paper filters are used after they have been filtered and then stored in a cup as they are. However, since the filter is coarse and the whole is filtered at once, there is a drawback that the extraction time is short but the taste is light.

一方、 布製のネルフィル夕一は、 目が細かくゆっくりと濾化するため、 抽出時間 が若干長くなるものの底の一点から抽出することになり、渋味をとり、 味覚や香り の高い最適なコーヒーが抽出できることが特徴となっている。  On the other hand, Cloth Nelfill Yuichi has fine eyes and slowly filters, so the extraction time will be slightly longer, but it will be extracted from one point at the bottom, making it the best coffee with astringent taste, high taste and aroma. The feature is that it can be extracted.

ただ、 ネルフィルタ一を用いた場合の抽出方法は、単にフィルターの中心付近に 注湯しただけでは前述の様な最適なコーヒーが抽出できない。  However, the extraction method using a flannel filter cannot extract the optimum coffee as described above simply by pouring near the center of the filter.

このため、業務用やマニアの間では、 ネルフィルタ一に収容したコーヒー粉に注 湯ポットの注ぎ熱湯の注湯軌跡が 「の」 の字を描くようにしている。  For this reason, for business use and enthusiasts, the pouring locus of the hot water poured into the hot water pot on the coffee powder stored in the flannel filter draws the shape of a “no”.

この様な注湯方法により抽出した場合には、熱湯がコーヒー粉の全域に均一に注 がれるため、 コーヒー粉をムラなく抽出に利用できると共に、 均等な湯がコーヒー 粉に注がれ、且つコ一ヒ一粉に注がれた湯が若干の間ネルフィル夕一内にとどまり 十分なムラシを行うことができ、香りがよくコクのあるコ一ヒー液を抽出すること ができると言われている。  When the hot water is extracted by such a pouring method, the hot water is uniformly poured into the entire area of the coffee powder, so that the coffee powder can be used for the extraction without unevenness, and the even hot water is poured into the coffee powder, and It is said that the hot water poured into the coffee powder stays in the Nelfill Yuichi for a short time, so that it can perform a sufficient amount of mustard and extract a fragrant, rich and rich coffee liquid. I have.

上述の様な注湯方法は、 注湯ポットの湯を 「の」 の字を描きながらコーヒー粉に 注ぐ基本的な手順は心得ていても使用者により注湯範囲や「の」 の字の順路が異な り、 常に味覚、 香り、 コクのある一定した最適なコーヒー液を抽出することができ なかった。 The pouring method as described above is based on the pouring range and the route of the “no” depending on the user, even if the user knows the basic procedure of pouring hot water from the pouring pot into the coffee powder while drawing the “no” character. It is possible to always extract the optimal coffee liquid with a constant taste, aroma, and richness. Did not.

勿論、特開平 9一 2 8 5 7 4号公報に開示されたコーヒー製造装置では、 自動で コ一ヒー液を抽出することができるものの「の」 の字を描くような注湯方法ではな い。  Of course, in the coffee manufacturing apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 9-128574, the coffee liquid can be automatically extracted, but it is not a pouring method that draws a "no" character. .

即ち、前述の様な「の」の字を描くような注湯方法は、一見簡単なようであるが、 それ程平面積の大きくないネルフィルターに収容したコーヒー粉に日本文字の 「の」 の字を描きながら注湯するのは熱練を要し、 素人が通常のャカンや注湯ポッ 卜で注湯することは困難とされている。 発明の開示  In other words, the pouring method that draws the “no” character as described above seems to be simple at first glance, but the Japanese character “no” character is added to coffee powder stored in a flannel filter that is not so large in area. It is difficult to pour hot water while drawing while drawing, and it is difficult for an amateur to pour hot water with a normal kettle or pouring pot. Disclosure of the invention

(S 5) 、 注湯パイプ (7) が揺動状態となり、 注湯口 (6) から注湯した湯は第 5図の軌跡図に示す様に、 フィルター (4) の中心 (S) から注湯を開始し、 うず 巻き状に旋回しながら黒塗り部分の領域を通過し日本文字の「の」の字注湯を行う。 (S5), the pouring pipe (7) swings, and the hot water poured from the pouring port (6) flows from the center (S) of the filter (4) as shown in the trajectory diagram in Fig. 5. The hot water is started, and while turning in a spiral shape, it passes through the black-painted area and performs the Japanese character “no” pouring.

(S 6) 。  (S6).

前述の様な日本文字の 「の」 の字の注湯は、 マイコンのプログラムにより実行さ れるわけであるが、 「の」 の字は標準的なカップ(C) の直径を基にそれよりも小 さい約 40ミリの直径の 「の」 の字を描くようにプログラムされている。  The pouring of the Japanese character “no” as described above is performed by a microcomputer program, but the “no” character is based on the standard cup (C) diameter. It is programmed to draw a small “no” with a diameter of about 40 mm.

この 「の」 の字注湯の具体的な手法は、 「の」 の字の 1回転目には注湯の初期状 態で注湯口 (6) の下端がコーヒー粉 (K) を収容したフィルター (4) の中心点 The specific method of pouring the “no” is that the first turn of the “no” is a filter that contains coffee powder (K) at the lower end of the pouring port (6) in the initial state of pouring. (4) center point

(5) に配置しており、 この点 (S) から注湯を開始して矢印方向に 「の」 の字を 描くように注湯口 (6) の位置を X軸方向と Y軸方向に移動し、 その後も注湯口の X軸方向と Y軸方向のそれぞれの移動方向を微妙に変化させながら 「の _] の字の延 長上でうず巻状に注湯し、 最終的に 40ミリの円を描いて点(P)で矢印方向 Aに 示す如く元の位置 (中心点 S) まで戻り、 「の」 の字注湯の 1回転を終了する。 (5), pouring is started from this point (S), and the pouring port (6) is moved in the X-axis and Y-axis directions so as to draw a “no” in the direction of the arrow. Then, while slightly changing the direction of movement of the pouring port in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, pouring it in a spiral shape over the extension of the “_” character, Draw a circle and return to the original position (center point S) at point (P) as shown in arrow direction A, and complete one revolution of the "no" pouring.

但し、 3回目の注湯時には、 3回目の 「の」 の字注湯に入った点 (Q) で注湯口 However, at the time of the third pouring, the pouring point is at the point (Q) where the third "no" pouring has started.

(6) を元の位置 (中心点 S) に戻すようにしており、 合計 6. 5回転でカップ 1 杯分の抽出行程を終了する。 (S 7) 。 (6) is returned to the original position (center point S), and the extraction process for one cup is completed with a total of 6.5 rotations. (S7).

前述のタイマー (24) は、 上記 6. 5回転の 「の」 の字注湯を行う時間をカウ ントするものであり、 6. 5回転を終了すると、カウントを終了して注湯ポンプ(2 5) の動作を停止する (S 8) 、 (S 9) 。 同時に第 1モータ (10) と第 2モー タ (14) の作動も停止して全ての行程を終了する (S 10) 。  The timer (24) described above counts the time during which the 6.5-turn “no” pouring is performed. When 6.5 turns are completed, the timer stops counting and the pouring pump (2) The operation of 5) is stopped (S8), (S9). At the same time, the operations of the first motor (10) and the second motor (14) are stopped, and all the steps are completed (S10).

第 18図には自動抽出器のシステム概略図を示しており、 この図面には、抽出器 本体の上部に、 底部に加熱ヒータ (26) を密着固定し側壁に設けた湯温センサ一 (27) により約 50度の低温度に保持し、 上部に給水口 (28) を設けた約 10 リットルの湯を貯湯する貯湯タンク(29)と、上部には排水口(300)を設け、 底部に湯沸ヒータ (30) を密着した約 1リツトルの湯を貯湯し側壁に設けた湯沸 センサー (31) により約 95度の高温度に保持する湯沸タンク (32) を設けて おり、 前記排水口 (300) は湯沸タンク (32) 内の湯量が一定量以上になった 場合に排水する。 Fig. 18 shows a schematic diagram of the automatic extractor system. This drawing shows a hot water temperature sensor with a heater (26) attached to the top of the extractor body and fixed to the bottom, and attached to the side wall. (27) to maintain a low temperature of about 50 degrees, a hot water storage tank (29) for storing hot water of about 10 liters with a water supply port (28) at the top, and a drainage port (300) at the top, There is a water tank (32) that holds about 1 liter of hot water with a water heater (30) in close contact with the bottom and maintains a high temperature of about 95 degrees by a water sensor (31) provided on the side wall. The drain port (300) drains when the amount of hot water in the boiling water tank (32) exceeds a certain amount.

(33) は前記貯湯タンク (29) の下部と湯沸タンク (32) の上部とを連通 する給湯パイプ、 (34) は前記給湯パイプ(33) の一部に設けられ前記貯湯夕 ンク (29) 内の湯を湯沸タンク (32) 内に給湯する給湯ポンプである。  (33) is a hot water supply pipe connecting the lower part of the hot water storage tank (29) and the upper part of the hot water tank (32), and (34) is provided in a part of the hot water supply pipe (33). ) This is a hot water supply pump that supplies hot water in the hot water tank (32).

湯沸タンク (32) 内の熱湯水位 (F:排水口の高さ位置) と注湯口 (6) の下 端との位置関係は、 第 18図に示す様に熱湯の水位と注湯口 (6) の下端との高さ は (H) で表わし、 この高さ (H) はコーヒー粉の量に基づいた抽出に必要な一定 量と最適注湯時間を基本にして一定にしている。  As shown in Fig. 18, the relationship between the hot water level in the boiling water tank (32) (F: height of the drain port) and the lower end of the pouring port (6) is as shown in Fig. 18. The height from the lower end of () is represented by (H), and this height (H) is constant based on the constant amount necessary for extraction based on the amount of coffee powder and the optimal pouring time.

即ち、 高さ (H) を保つことにより、 注湯時間のみを制御すれば各回の注湯時に 必要とする湯量を取り出すことができる。 H= (1/2) gV2で、 (g) は重力 加速度 (定数) 、 (V) は注湯口から落下する熱湯の速度で、 (H) を一定に保つ と (V) は 常に一定となることを表わしている。 That is, by maintaining the height (H), if only the pouring time is controlled, the required amount of hot water at each pouring can be taken out. In H = (1/2) gV 2, (g) is the gravitational acceleration (constant), at a hot water rate falling from (V) is pouring port, and maintain a constant (H) (V) is the always constant It means that it becomes.

前記注湯口 (6) には、 揺動機構 (5) を連係させてフィルター (4) に収容し たコーヒー粉に 「の」 の字注湯を行うことができ、 この場合、 抽出器本体の側壁に 設けた注湯釦を操作することにより、 ディレイ装置(図示せず) が働いて注湯バル ブ (23) の開放後、 所定時間遅延して揺動機構 (5) を作動し、 注湯口 (6) か らコーヒー粉に注湯されていないにも拘らず揺動機構(5)が作動するのを防止す る。  A rocking mechanism (5) is linked to the pouring port (6), so that the coffee powder stored in the filter (4) can be poured in the shape of "no". By operating the pouring button provided on the side wall, a delay device (not shown) is activated to open the pouring valve (23), and after a predetermined time delay, the swing mechanism (5) is activated. Prevents the swinging mechanism (5) from operating even though coffee is not poured from the gate (6).

第 2図に示した揺動機構(5)は、 注湯開始時の初期状態において、 注湯口 (6) が常にフィルタ一 (4) の中央部に位置するように設定される。  The swing mechanism (5) shown in FIG. 2 is set so that the pouring port (6) is always located at the center of the filter (4) in the initial state at the start of pouring.

第 6図は、 注湯口の注湯軌跡の注湯開始付近の領域の座標を示す拡大図である。 この図は特に、第 1モー夕と第 2モータを予め X軸座標と Y軸座標によって定めら れた複数個の座標点に基づいて作動させるもので、 座標点を結ぶことにより 「の」 の字が形成される。 この様な座標点を表にして表わしたのが第 15図であり、 注湯パイプ( 7 ) が静 止した中立位置では、 注湯口 (6) が座標ポイント NO、 X軸 0、 Y軸 0、 座標ポ イント (a) の設定に基づきマイコンの出力により第 1モ一夕 (10) と第 2モー 夕 (14) が (— 1) だけ一方向に揺動し、 この揺動と同時に貯湯タンク (29) 内の熱湯が注湯パイプ (7) の下端からコーヒー粉に向かい座標ポイント (0) 〜 (a) に沿って注がれる。 FIG. 6 is an enlarged view showing the coordinates of the area near the start of pouring of the pouring trajectory of the pouring port. In particular, this figure operates the first motor and the second motor based on a plurality of coordinate points defined in advance by the X-axis coordinate and the Y-axis coordinate. A letter is formed. Fig. 15 shows such coordinate points in a table. In the neutral position where the pouring pipe (7) is at rest, the pouring port (6) is set to the coordinate point NO, X axis 0, Y axis 0 Based on the setting of the coordinate point (a), the first mode (10) and the second mode (14) oscillate in one direction by (–1) by the output of the microcomputer. Hot water in the tank (29) is poured from the lower end of the pouring pipe (7) toward coffee powder along coordinate points (0) to (a).

その後は、 注湯口 (6) から注湯する熱湯を第 15図の座標ポイントに従って第 1モータ (10) と第 2モータ (14) を第 3図の二点鎖線のように左右に揺動さ せながら 「の J の字を描くようにして注湯し、 最終的には数回のうず巻き注湯を継 続した後に座標ポイント (0) に戻って一連の注湯工程を終了する。  After that, the hot water to be poured from the pouring port (6) is swung right and left as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 3 by rotating the first motor (10) and the second motor (14) according to the coordinate points in FIG. The pouring is performed in such a way as to draw a “J”, and after several vortex pouring, the process returns to the coordinate point (0) and the pouring process is completed.

従って、 座標ポイント (0) や (a) の位置で注がれた熱湯は、 注湯パイプ(7) が他の座標ポイントを移動しながら注湯している間にコーヒー粉内に浸透し、結果 として一連の注湯工程を終了するまでの間にコーヒー粉の各部に注湯された熱湯 はコーヒ一粉に浸透した後で抽出され、始めに注湯された部分の抽出液が始めに落 下し、 その後、 後で注湯された部分の抽出液と合体して落下しカップ(C) に溜め る。  Therefore, the hot water poured at the coordinate points (0) and (a) penetrates into the coffee powder while the pouring pipe (7) is pouring while moving to other coordinate points, As a result, the hot water poured into each part of the coffee grounds before the end of the series of pouring steps is extracted after permeating the coffee grounds, and the extracted liquid of the first poured part falls first. After that, it is combined with the extract of the part that has been poured later and drops and is stored in the cup (C).

第 7図は、 コーヒーの抽出作動初期に注湯パイプが「の」 の字注湯の作動原点に 位置補正する位置補正するようにしたフローチヤ一トである。  FIG. 7 is a flow chart in which the position of the pouring pipe is corrected to the operating origin of the “no” pouring operation at the beginning of the coffee brewing operation.

注湯釦を操作して注湯バルブ (35) を開放し湯沸タンク (32) 内の熱湯を注 湯パイプ(7) に導くと共に、 同時にマイコンに予め入力されたプログラムの内容 に基づいて第 1モー夕 (10) と第 2モー夕 (14) に電圧を印加し作動させる。 この時、 本来なら注湯パイプ (7) が第 5図に示す点 (S) の位置にあれば第 5 図に示した注湯軌跡に沿って所定の位置に注湯を行うわけであるが、モータの性質 により回転開始後にその回転エネルギーを直接注湯パイプ(7) に伝達するまでの 間にタイムラグを生じる。  By operating the pouring button, the pouring valve (35) is opened to guide the hot water in the hot water tank (32) to the pouring pipe (7), and at the same time, based on the contents of the program pre-input to the microcomputer. Apply voltage to the first and second modes (10) and (14) to operate. At this time, if the pouring pipe (7) is originally located at the point (S) shown in Fig. 5, pouring is performed at a predetermined position along the pouring locus shown in Fig. 5. However, due to the nature of the motor, a time lag occurs between the start of rotation and the transmission of the rotational energy directly to the pouring pipe (7).

このタイムラグは、 第 1 5図に基づく座標ポイントに沿ったうず卷き状の 「の」 の字注湯ができなくなる。  This time lag will prevent the spiral pouring of the "no" pouring along the coordinate points based on Figure 15.

上述の現象を防止するために、 抽出釦の操作と同時に第 1フォトイン夕ラブ夕 (20) によってシャッター (13) がどの位置にあるか、 即ち、 第 1モー夕 (1 0) のシャフト (12) がどのあたりにあるかを判定し、 もしシャッター (13) が光路を遮へいして出力が「H」 となり第 1モータ (10) が正規の位置にあるこ とを第 1フォトイン夕ラプタ (20) により検出した場合は、 第 1モータ (10) の逆転方向の回転はなく、 すぐに第 1フォトイン夕ラプタ (20) の出力が 「L」 であることから、第 1モー夕 (10)の正転方向の回転をさせてシャッター(13) を変位させ光路を開放して第 1フォトインタラブ夕 (20) の出力を 「H」 とし、 この時点が第 5図に示す原点 (S) であるため、 第 1モータ (10) の回転を停止 し注湯パイプ (7) を原点に補正する。 In order to prevent the above-mentioned phenomenon, the position of the shutter (13) by the first photo input / output (20) at the same time as the operation of the extraction button, ie, the first mode (1) The position of the shaft (12) of (0) is determined. If the shutter (13) blocks the optical path, the output becomes “H” and the first motor (10) is in the correct position. When the detection is performed by the photointegrator (20), there is no rotation of the first motor (10) in the reverse direction, and the output of the first photointegrator (20) is “L” immediately. By rotating the shutter (13) in the forward direction of the first motor (10) and displacing the shutter (13) to open the optical path, the output of the first photointerrupter (20) is set to “H”. Since it is the origin (S) shown in (1), the rotation of the first motor (10) is stopped and the pouring pipe (7) is corrected to the origin.

以上の動作を抽出作動初期に瞬間的に行った後に注湯パイプ(7)から出る熱湯 を原点 (S) からコーヒー粉 (K) の中央付近に注ぎ、 その後、 マイコンのプログ ラムに基づき注湯パイプを第 1モー夕 (10) によって X軸方向に揺動させ、 第 2 モー夕(14)によって Y軸方向に揺動させて第 5図に示す様なうず巻き状の「の」 の字注湯を行う。  After the above operation is instantaneously performed at the beginning of the extraction operation, the hot water coming out of the pouring pipe (7) is poured from the origin (S) to the vicinity of the center of the coffee powder (K), and then poured according to the microcomputer program. The pipe is swung in the X-axis direction by the first motor (10), and is swung in the Y-axis direction by the second motor (14). Do hot water.

もし、 最初に判定する第 1フォトイン夕ラプタ (20) の出力が 「H」 の場合に は、第 1モー夕 (10)を逆転方向の回転をさせて第 1フォトインタラブ夕(20) の出力を 「L」 にして X軸方向の原点補正を行う。  If the output of the first photointegrator (20) to be determined first is “H”, the first motor (10) is rotated in the reverse direction to rotate the first photointerrupter (20). Output is set to “L” to perform origin correction in the X-axis direction.

勿論、 第 2モータ (14) 側も前述の第 1モー夕 (10) と同様に第 7図に示す 判定と作動を行い Y軸方向の原点補正を行う。  Of course, the second motor (14) also performs the determination and operation shown in Fig. 7 in the same manner as the first motor (10), and performs the origin correction in the Y-axis direction.

従って、 注湯パイプ (7) は、 コーヒー抽出の初期に第 1、 第 2フォトインタラ プ夕 (20) 、 (21) によって自動的に原点 (S) に補正されうず巻き状の 「の」 の字注湯を行う。  Therefore, the pouring pipe (7) has a spiral “no” character that is automatically corrected to the origin (S) by the first and second photo interrupters (20) and (21) at the beginning of coffee extraction. Perform pouring.

第 1フォトインタラブ夕 (20) とシャツ夕一 (13) 、 第 2フォトイン夕ラブ 夕 (21) とシャッター (17) のそれぞれは、 第 2図に示すように第 1、 第 2モ 一夕 (10) 、 (14) のスタート位置を設定する位置検出装置 (35) 、 (36) を構成する。  As shown in Fig. 2, the first Photo Interlab evening (20) and the shirt Yuichi (13), and the second Photo In evening evening (21) and the shutter (17) are the first and second models, respectively. The position detectors (35) and (36) for setting the start positions of the evening (10) and (14) are configured.

第 8図及び第 9図は、うず巻き状の旋回動作の終了後に注湯口を原点位置に補正 するようにしたフローチャートを示すものである。操作基板(注湯機構の作動を開 始する基板) に電源を印加すると(S 11)、第 1モータ (10) と第 2モータ (1 4)が回転し、 「の」の字注湯を開始する初期作動位置を決定する原点決定手段( 3 7) 、 (38) が作動する。 FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 show flowcharts in which the pouring port is corrected to the origin position after the spiral-shaped turning operation is completed. When power is applied to the operation board (the board that starts the operation of the pouring mechanism) (S11), the first motor (10) and the second motor (14) rotate, and the “no” shape pouring is performed. Origin determination means (3) to determine the initial operating position to start 7) and (38) operate.

この動作は次の様に行う。注湯を開始する電源を ONした後に、 間接的に第 1モ 一夕 (10) に連結した作動子 (15) の位置 (注湯パイプ (7) の X軸方向 (左 右方向) の位置) を検出するわけであるが、 この時に重要な点は、 モー夕自身が構 造上備えている。 特質で、 所謂シャフト (12) の遊びであり、 この遊びは注湯パ イブ (7) の注湯口 (6) の位置に大きな影響を与える。  This operation is performed as follows. After turning on the power to start pouring, the position of the actuator (15) indirectly connected to the first model (10) (the position of the pouring pipe (7) in the X-axis direction (left and right directions)) An important point at this time is that Mo-Yu itself has a structural provision. This is a characteristic of the so-called play of the shaft (12), which greatly affects the position of the pouring port (6) of the pouring pipe (7).

このために、 注湯動作を開始する信号 (抽出釦の操作) が入力された時には全く 遊びのない状態で注湯パイプ(7) の揺動を開始する必要があるが、 これを第 1モ —夕、 第 2モ一夕ともに実行するのが原点決定手段 (37) 、 (38) である。 斯して、 シャツ夕一 (13) が光路を閉止している場合は (S 12) は、 第 1フ オトイン夕ラブ夕 (20) の出力が 「H」 となり (S 13) 、 この出力により第 1 モ一夕 (10) を逆回転させ (S 14) 、 同時に回転するシャッター (13) が光 路を開放すると第 1モータを正回転させて再び光路の閉止、 開放を検出する。 (S 15、 S 16) 。  For this reason, when a signal for starting the pouring operation (operation of the extraction button) is input, it is necessary to start the rocking of the pouring pipe (7) without any play at all. —The origin determination means (37) and (38) execute both in the evening and in the second mode. Thus, when the shirt Yuichi (13) closes the optical path (S12), the output of the first photo lab (20) becomes “H” (S13), and The first motor (10) is rotated in the reverse direction (S14), and when the simultaneously rotating shutter (13) opens the optical path, the first motor is rotated forward to detect the closing and opening of the optical path again. (S15, S16).

第 1モータの正回転により光路が閉止した場合は第 1フォトインタラプタ (2 0) の出力が 「H」 となり (S 16、 S 17) 、 Xモー夕の回転が停止する。 (S 18) 。  When the optical path is closed by the forward rotation of the first motor, the output of the first photointerrupter (20) becomes "H" (S16, S17), and the rotation of the X motor stops. (S18).

これで第 1モータ (10)側の原点決定手段 (37)作業が終了し、 注湯口 (6) が注湯動作 ( 「の」 の字旋回動作) を行う事前の X軸方向の原点を決定する。 前述の X軸方向における原点決定手段(37)の作業終了後には Y軸方向の原点 決定を行うわけであるが、 Y軸方向の原点決定は、 シャツ夕一 (17) が光路を閉 止、 或は開放しているかの判定から始まり (S 19) 、 光路が閉止している場合は 第 2フォトインタラブ夕 (21)の出力が「H」 となり (S 20)、 第 2モータ (1 4) を逆回転させ (S 21) 、 シャッター (17) が回転して光路を開放すると、 第 2モ一夕 (14) を正回転させて光路の閉止を検出する。 (S 22、 S 23) 。  This completes the origin determination means (37) on the first motor (10) side, and determines the origin in the X-axis direction before the pouring port (6) performs the pouring operation ("-"-shaped turning operation). I do. After the work of the origin determination means (37) in the X-axis direction described above is completed, the origin in the Y-axis direction is determined. In the determination of the origin in the Y-axis direction, Yuichi Shirt (17) closes the optical path, The process starts with a determination as to whether it is open or not (S19). If the optical path is closed, the output of the second photointerrupter (21) becomes "H" (S20) and the second motor (14) ) Is rotated in reverse (S21), and when the shutter (17) rotates to open the optical path, the second motor (14) is rotated forward to detect the closing of the optical path. (S22, S23).

光路が閉止され第 2フォトインタラブ夕 (21) の出力が 「H」 となると第 2モ —夕 (14) の回転が停止し (S 24、 S 25) 、 第 2モータ (14) 側の原点決 定手段(38)の作業が終了し、注湯動作を行う事前の Y軸方向の原点を決定する。  When the optical path is closed and the output of the second photointerrupter (21) becomes “H”, the rotation of the second motor — evening (14) is stopped (S24, S25), and the rotation of the second motor (14) is stopped. The work of the origin determination means (38) is completed, and the origin in the Y-axis direction is determined before performing the pouring operation.

X軸方向と Y軸方向の 2方向の位置が決って最終的に原点を決定される。 前述の原点決定手段 (37) 、 (38) による原点決定後には、 熱練された作業 員の目測や所定のテンプレートやゲージによりフィルタ一(4)の中心から偏位(ズ レ) しているかどうかを検出 (確認) する。 例えば、 注湯口 (6) が第 16図に示 す様に X軸方向に (+5)、 Y軸方向(+5)だけ偏位していた時には(S 26)、 この偏位量に応じ専用の補正器 (図示せず) により X軸方向に (一 5) 、 Y軸方向 (—5) の調整値をマイコンに入力する。 (S 27) 。 The origin in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction is determined and the origin is finally determined. After the origin determination by means of the above-mentioned origin determination means (37) and (38), whether deviation from the center of the filter (4) has occurred by visual inspection of a heated worker or by a predetermined template or gauge Detect (confirm) whether it is. For example, when the pouring port (6) is displaced in the X-axis direction (+5) and in the Y-axis direction (+5) (S26) as shown in Fig. 16, Using a dedicated compensator (not shown), input the adjustment values in the X-axis direction (1-5) and in the Y-axis direction (-5) to the microcomputer. (S27).

マイコンに入力された調整値のデータは、記憶手段(39)にメモリーする。 (S The adjustment value data input to the microcomputer is stored in the storage means (39). (S

28) 。 28).

以上の様な偏位量は、個々の抽出器本体(1)の組立後において、 揺動機構(5) を構成する部品の僅かのズレゃホルダ一(3)の取り付け位置のズレ等の多くの因 子によって大きく異つているが、 第 15図に示すテーブルを基に調整を行う。 斯して、原点補正の調整値の入力後に抽出釦を操作したことを検出すると (S 2 9) 、 第 1モ一夕 (10) と第 2モータ (14) のそれぞれが作動し、 第 1モ一夕 (10) は注湯口 (6) を X軸方向に (+5) 、 第 2モ一夕 (14) は注湯口 (6) を Y軸方向 (+5) だけ移動させて (S 30) 、 (S 31) 、 原点調整手段 (40) の作業を終了する。  The amount of deviation as described above may be caused by the slight displacement of the components constituting the swing mechanism (5) and the displacement of the mounting position of the holder (3) after assembly of the individual extractor bodies (1). Although it varies greatly depending on the factors, adjustments are made based on the table shown in Fig. 15. Thus, when it is detected that the extraction button has been operated after inputting the adjustment value of the origin correction (S29), each of the first motor (10) and the second motor (14) operates, and the first motor (14) operates. In Mo (10), the pouring port (6) is moved in the X-axis direction (+5), and in the second mo (14), the pouring port (6) is moved in the Y-axis direction (+5) (S 30), (S31), the work of the origin adjustment means (40) is completed.

つづいて、コーヒーの抽出を行う場合は、前述の抽出釦の操作後に湯沸タンク(3 2) 内の湯温を約 95度に保持し、 貯湯タンク (29) 内の湯温を約 75度に保持 した状態にある時は、 注湯口 (6) と湯沸タンク (32) の水路に設けた注湯バル ブ (35) が開放し湯沸タンク内の熱湯が注湯口 (6) からフィル夕一 (4) の中 心部となる第 16図の 「0」 の位置から 「の」 の字を描くように旋回しながら注湯 を行う。 (S 32) 。  Next, when extracting coffee, after operating the extraction button described above, maintain the hot water temperature in the hot water tank (32) at about 95 ° C, and reduce the hot water temperature in the hot water storage tank (29) to about 75 ° C. When it is held in the pouring port (6), the pouring valve (35) provided in the water channel of the hot water tank (32) is opened, and the hot water in the hot water tank is filled from the pouring port (6). From the “0” position in Fig. 16 which is the center of Yuichi (4), pouring is performed while turning in the shape of a “no”. (S32).

勿論、 湯沸タンク (32) の湯量が減少すると、 給湯ポンプ (34) が作動して 貯湯タンク (29) 内の湯を湯沸タンク (32) に補給する。 (S 33) 。  Of course, when the amount of hot water in the hot water tank (32) decreases, the hot water supply pump (34) operates to supply hot water in the hot water storage tank (29) to the hot water tank (32). (S33).

この時、 注湯口の注湯軌跡は、 第 15図のテーブルに示す様にポイント 「0」 、 「a」 、 「b」 、 〜 「Q」 ·'·ηと順に移動し 1回目の 「の」 の字注湯を行う。 (S At this time, the pouring trajectory of the pouring port moves in the order of points "0", "a", "b", ~ "Q" ". (S

34) 。 34).

1回目の 「の」 の字注湯が終了すると (S 35) 、 図示していないが僅かの時間 だけ注湯動作を停止した後、 再び第 1モ一夕及び第 2モー夕 (10) 、 (14) を 作動して所定回数の 「の」 の字注湯を行い (S 36) 、 各回数の間に時間差をおき ながら所定回数の注湯が終了して一連の抽出行程を完了する。 (S 37) 、 (S 3 8) „ When the first "no" pouring is completed (S35), the pouring operation is stopped for a short period of time, not shown, and then the first and second modes (10), (14) When activated, a predetermined number of "no" pouring is performed (S36), and a predetermined number of pouring operations are completed with a time lag between the respective times to complete a series of extraction steps. (S37), (S38) „

勿論、 次回の抽出行程の実行時には、 前述の記憶手段 (39) にメモリーしてい るために自動で原点補正がなされる。  Of course, at the time of executing the next extraction process, the origin is automatically corrected because it is stored in the storage means (39).

第 17図は、注湯パイプを上パイプと下パイプの連結により構成した側面図であ る。 この注湯パイプ (7) は、 上下に縦列した上パイプ (41) と下パイプ (4 2) の 2本から構成し、 それぞれのパイプを柔軟性を有する継手 (43) により連 結して一体化している。  FIG. 17 is a side view in which a pouring pipe is formed by connecting an upper pipe and a lower pipe. The pouring pipe (7) is composed of two pipes, an upper pipe (41) and a lower pipe (42), which are cascaded up and down, and each pipe is connected by a flexible joint (43) and integrated. Is becoming

前記継手 (43) は、 上下部に上パイプ (41) の下端を嵌合する上受合部 (4 The joint (43) has an upper receiving portion (4) to which the lower end of the upper pipe (41) is fitted.

4) と下パイプ (42) の上端を嵌合する下受合部 (45) を設けると共に、 外側 壁には薄厚の支承板(46)を設けており、 この支承板の外周縁をシャーシ(47) の抜き孔 (48) の周辺に取り付けている。 (49) は抜き孔 (48) の下方に固 定した円筒形の防護壁で、下パイプ(42)を間隔を置いて囲んでおり、支承板(4 6)の外側から見えないようにしている。 (50)は上パイプ(41) と作動子(14) and a lower receiving portion (45) for fitting the upper end of the lower pipe (42), and a thin supporting plate (46) is provided on the outer wall. Installed around the hole (48) of 47). (49) is a cylindrical protective wall fixed below the hole (48) and surrounds the lower pipe (42) at intervals so that it cannot be seen from the outside of the support plate (46). I have. (50) is the upper pipe (41) and the actuator (1

5) との上下方向の取付位置を調節する調整ネジである。 5) Adjustment screw for adjusting the mounting position in the vertical direction with.

この様に上パイプ (41) と下パイプ (42) を柔軟性を有する継手 (43) に より連結したことにより、仮に手が誤つて下パイプに触れたとしても揺動装置に影 響を与えることがなく、 下パイプが元の位置に復帰する。  By connecting the upper pipe (41) and the lower pipe (42) with the flexible joint (43) in this way, even if the hand accidentally touches the lower pipe, the swinging device is affected. The lower pipe returns to its original position.

第 19図は、 湯沸タンク (32) と貯湯タンク (29) とをオーバ一フローパイ プにより連結した全体の概略図である。 (51) は貯湯タンク (29) 内と湯沸夕 ンク (32) 内とを連通するオーバ一フローパイプで、 一端の取水部 (52) を湯 沸タンク (32) の側壁上部に連結し他端の排水部 (53) を貯湯タンク (29) の内側上部の空所 (54) に連通して取り付けており、 一端の取水部の位置は湯沸 タンク内の残湯量が常に所定水位になって必要湯量を確保するように設定されて いる。  FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram of the whole in which the hot water tank (32) and the hot water storage tank (29) are connected by an overflow pipe. (51) is an overflow pipe that connects the inside of the hot water storage tank (29) with the inside of the hot water tank (32), and connects the water intake part (52) at one end to the upper part of the side wall of the hot water tank (32) and connects the other. The drain (53) at the end is connected to the space (54) at the upper inside of the hot water storage tank (29), and the position of the water intake at one end is such that the remaining hot water level in the water heater tank is always at the specified water level. It is set to secure the required amount of hot water.

(55) は貯湯タンク (29) 内と湯沸タンク (32) 内とを連通する導出パイ プで、 一端の開口部 (56) をオーバ一フローパイプ (51) の取水部 (52) よ りも上方に連結し他端の開口部 (57) を貯湯タンク (29) の水面よりも上方の 空所 (54) 内に連通して連結している。 (55) is an outlet pipe connecting the inside of the hot water storage tank (29) and the inside of the hot water tank (32), and the opening (56) at one end is taken from the intake part (52) of the overflow pipe (51). And the opening (57) at the other end is placed above the water surface of the hot water storage tank (29). It is connected to the empty space (54).

この様なシステムにおいて、 抽出を行っていない待機状態では、 湯沸タンク (3 2) 内の湯温は湯沸センサ一 (31) によって湯沸ヒータ (30) が発熱 Z停止を 行ない沸縢温度付近の約 95度の高温度に保たれているわけであるが、湯沸し時に 発生した気泡や沸縢に伴って発生した湯面の波がオーバ一フローパイプ(51)の 取水部 (52) を塞いだ時に偶然、 抽出釦を操作し注湯作業を行った場合には、 導 出パイプ (55) を介して湯沸タンク (32) 内の空気を吸い込み湯沸タンク (3 2) 内の負圧を防止する。  In such a system, in the standby state where extraction is not being performed, the temperature of the hot water in the hot water tank (32) is generated by the hot water heater (30) by the hot water sensor (31), and the water stops (Z-stop). Although it is kept at a high temperature of about 95 degrees in the vicinity, bubbles generated at the time of boiling water and waves of the surface of the water generated due to boiling water flow through the intake section (52) of the overflow pipe (51). If the extraction button is accidentally operated and pouring is performed when it is closed, the air in the hot water tank (32) is sucked in through the outlet pipe (55) and the negative pressure in the hot water tank (32) is drawn. Prevent pressure.

第 19図において、 湯沸タンク (32) 内に溜めた約 1リツトルの湯は、 湯沸セ ンサー (31) によって常に約 95度に保持されるように湯沸ヒータ (30) の通 電制御を行うと同時に、 貯湯タンク (29) 内に溜めた約 10リットルの湯は、 湯 温センサー (27) によって給湯ポンプ (34) の運転 停止を行う。  In Fig. 19, approximately 1 liter of hot water stored in the hot water tank (32) is controlled by the hot water heater (30) so that the hot water sensor (31) always keeps it at about 95 degrees. At the same time, about 10 liters of hot water stored in the hot water storage tank (29), the hot water supply pump (34) is stopped by the hot water temperature sensor (27).

即ち、 湯温センサ一 (27) により検出した貯湯タンク (29) 内の湯温が 75 度以下の場合は、 給湯ポンプ (34) を運転し貯湯タンク (29) 内の湯を導出パ イブ(55)を介して湯沸タンク (32)内に送湯する。 (56)は湯沸タンク (3 2) の上部側壁と貯湯タンク (29) の上部側壁とを連通する送湯パイプである。 前述の様に湯沸タンク (32) 内に送湯された湯は、 一定水位を越えるためにォ 一バーフローパイプ (51) 、 或は送湯パイプ (51) から溢出し貯湯タンク (2 9) 内に送湯される。  That is, when the temperature of the hot water in the hot water storage tank (29) detected by the hot water temperature sensor (27) is 75 degrees or less, the hot water supply pump (34) is operated to derive the hot water in the hot water storage tank (29). Water is supplied to the hot water tank (32) via 55). (56) is a hot water pipe connecting the upper side wall of the hot water tank (32) and the upper side wall of the hot water storage tank (29). As described above, the hot water fed into the boiling water tank (32) overflows from the overflow pipe (51) or the hot water pipe (51) in order to exceed a certain water level. ).

この様にして貯湯タンク(29)内の湯温が 75度に達するまでは給湯ポンプ(3 4) が運転を継続して貯湯タンク (29) 内の湯を湯沸タンク (32) 内に入れ、 湯沸タンク (32) 内の湯を貯湯タンク (29) 内に入れて循環させる。  In this way, the hot water supply pump (34) continues operating until the temperature of the hot water in the hot water storage tank (29) reaches 75 degrees, and the hot water in the hot water storage tank (29) is poured into the hot water tank (32). The hot water in the hot water tank (32) is put into the hot water storage tank (29) and circulated.

貯湯タンク (29) 内の湯温が 75度に達したことを検出した湯温センサー (2 7) は、 その出力により給湯ポンプ (34) の運転を停止する。  The hot water temperature sensor (27), which detects that the temperature of the hot water in the hot water storage tank (29) has reached 75 degrees, stops the operation of the hot water supply pump (34) based on the output.

第 19図の説明では、 オーバ一フローパイプ (51) と送湯パイプ (56) のそ れぞれが貯湯タンク (29) と湯沸タンク (32) とを連結したが、 連結するのは オーバ一フローパイプ(51) を 1本にして、 これを送湯パイプとして併用しても よい。  In the description of FIG. 19, each of the overflow pipe (51) and the hot water pipe (56) connects the hot water storage tank (29) and the hot water tank (32). One flow pipe (51) may be used as a single pipe and used as a hot water pipe.

この様な構成では、 第 19図に示した貯湯タンク (29) の加熱ヒータ (26) を不要とすることができる。即ち、湯沸タンク (32) に設けた湯沸ヒ一夕 (30) を 1本用いるだけで多量の湯を抽出に適した状態の湯温まで上昇させることがで き、 最小限の使用電力で連続して抽出できる。 In such a configuration, the heater (26) of the hot water storage tank (29) shown in FIG. Can be eliminated. In other words, a large amount of hot water can be raised to a temperature suitable for extraction by using only one hot water heater (30) provided in the hot water tank (32). Can be extracted continuously.

第 10図及び第 4図は、抽出器本体( 1 )をより具体化した構成の正面図である。 (57) (57) (57)は複数個の揺動機構(5) (5) (5) と注湯パイプ(7) (7) (7)のそれぞれの下方に設けた抽出物セット手段で、大小のフィルター(4 a) (4b) を着脱自在に保持する複数個のホルダー (3) (3) (3) と、 この ホルダーをスライド自在に保持するガイド (58) (58) (58) とから構成す る。  FIG. 10 and FIG. 4 are front views of a more specific configuration of the extractor main body (1). (57) (57) (57) is a plurality of swing mechanisms (5) (5) (5) and pouring pipes (7) (7) , Multiple holders (3) (3) (3) for detachably holding large and small filters (4a) (4b), and guides (58) (58) (58) for slidably holding these holders It consists of

前記ホルダ一 (3) (3) (3) は 3組とし、 それぞれを水平方向に配置すると 共に、中間のホルダ一は、アタッチメントの切り替えにより 1人用のフィルター(4 a) と 3人用のフィルタ一 (4 b) の選択ができる。 中間のホルダーは 1入用と 3 人用のフィルターの取り替えが可能であり、両側のホルダ一は 1人用のフィルター 専用となる。 (59 a)、 (59b)は中間のフィル夕一が位置する抽出器本体(1) の上部前後両面に設けられ注湯量を 1人分、或は 2人分に設定する操作手段を構成 する 2つの設定釦である、注湯量設定手段は、前記注湯パイプ( 35 ) (35) (3 5) の開閉時間をコントロールするプログラムと、 「の」 の字注湯を行う揺動機構 (5) (5) (5) とから構成する。  The holders (3), (3) and (3) consist of three sets, each of which is arranged in the horizontal direction, and the middle holder is a filter for one person (4a) and a filter for three persons by switching attachments. Filter 1 (4b) can be selected. The middle holder can be replaced with a filter for one person and a filter for three people, and the holders on both sides are dedicated to a filter for one person. (59a) and (59b) are provided on the front and rear sides of the upper part of the extractor body (1) where the middle fill is located, and constitute the operating means for setting the pouring amount to one or two persons. A pouring amount setting means, which is two setting buttons, includes a program for controlling the opening / closing time of the pouring pipe (35) (35) (35), and a swing mechanism (5) for performing pouring of "NO". ) (5) (5).

1人分のコーヒー液を抽出するのに必要なコーヒー粉(豆) は、 約 12グラムか ら 14グラムであり、 この重量のコ一ヒ一粉を 1人用のフィルター (4 a) に収容 する。 3人分のコ一ヒ一液を抽出するのに必要なコーヒー粉は約 30グラムから 4 0グラムであり、 これだけの量を収容するフィルター (4 b) は 1人用のフィル夕 一 (4 a) の外径寸法よりも大きくなる。  The coffee grounds (beans) required to extract one coffee liquor are about 12 to 14 grams, and this weight of coffee grounds is stored in a one-person filter (4a). I do. The coffee grounds needed to extract the coffee liquid for three people are about 30 to 40 grams, and the filter (4b), which holds this much, is a filter for one person. a) It becomes larger than the outside diameter.

上述の様に 1人用と 3人用のフィル夕一 (4 a) 、 (4b) の外径寸法は、 3人 用のフィルターの方が 1人用のフィル夕一の外径寸法よりも大きいことから、前記 組立ユニットによる 「の」 の字注湯による軌跡の大きさも対応させる必要があり、 1人用に設定された場合は軌跡サイズを 「小」 とし、 3人用に設定された場合は軌 跡タイズを 「大」 とする。  As described above, the outside diameter of the filter for one person and three persons (4a) and (4b) is larger for the filter for three persons than for the one person. Because of the large size, it is necessary to correspond to the size of the trajectory of the "no" pouring by the assembly unit, and when set for one person, the trajectory size is set to "small" and set for three people In this case, the track size is set to “large”.

第 20図は、 1回の注湯操作で必要量のコーヒー液を取り出す様にしたフローチ lb ヤートを示すものである。 今、 中間にあるホルダ一 (3) に 1人分のコーヒー粉を 収容したフィル夕一(4 a)をセットして 1人分のカップ(C a)をフィル夕一(4 a) の下方に載置した状態において (S 39) 、 1人分の設定釦 (59 a) を選択 操作すると(S 40)、内装したマイコンがカップ数 1人分であることを判断し(S 41) 、 注湯量を 1人分に見合った量となる約 160 c cに設定する (S42) 。 Figure 20 shows a float that removes the required amount of coffee liquid in a single pouring operation. It indicates lb-yat. Now, fill Yuichi (4a) containing coffee powder for one person in the middle holder (3), and place a cup (Ca) for one person below Fill Yuichi (4a). When the setting button (59a) for one person is selected and operated (S40) in the state of being placed on the (S40), it is determined that the microcomputer contained therein is for one cup (S41), The pouring volume is set to approximately 160 cc, which is appropriate for one person (S42).

この注湯量の設定は、 具体的には注湯バルブ (35) の開放時間を短く (小) す ることにより実行され (S 43) 、 同時に組立ユニットとして一体化した第 1モー 夕 (10) と第 2モー夕 (14) が作動し、 それぞれのモータの作動時間と作動タ イミングによって作動子 (15) に取り付けた注湯パイプ(7) が第 5図に示す様 に 「の」 の字を描きながらフィルター (4a) のコーヒー粉に注湯する。  The setting of the pouring amount is carried out by shortening (opening) the opening time of the pouring valve (35) (S43), and simultaneously with the first motor (10) integrated as an assembly unit. And the second motor (14) are activated, and the pouring pipe (7) attached to the actuator (15) changes the shape of the "no" as shown in Fig. 5 according to the operation time and operation timing of each motor. Pour the coffee powder into the filter (4a) while drawing.

「の」 の字注湯軌跡サイズは、 1人用のフィルターサイズに合わせて 「小」 に設 定され (S44) 、 注湯動作を実行し (S45) 、 一連の 「の」 の字注湯を行った 後、 抽出を終了する。 (S46) 、 (S47) 。  The “NO” character pouring locus size is set to “Small” according to the filter size for one person (S44), the pouring operation is performed (S45), and a series of “NO” character pouring is performed. After performing, the extraction is terminated. (S46), (S47).

前述の 「の」 の字の注湯時において、 実際には連続した注湯動作を行うのではな く、 1回転した後に数秒間注湯を停止し、その後再び 2回転した後、数秒間停止し、 さらに数回転した後に注湯を停止してむらしを行う一連のプロセスがあるが、勿論、 1人用と 3人用の一連のプロセスが若干異なっており、 3人用の場合には回転数や 注湯の停止時間が長目に設定してある。  At the time of pouring of the above-mentioned `` no '', the pouring operation is not actually performed continuously, but the pouring is stopped for a few seconds after one rotation, and then stopped again for two seconds after turning twice. Then, there is a series of processes to stop pouring after several revolutions and to perform murata, but of course, the series of processes for one person and three people is slightly different, and in the case of three people, The number of revolutions and pouring time are set longer.

つづいて、 第 10図のように中間にあるフィルタ一ホルダー (3) に 3人分のコ —ヒー粉を収容したフィルター(4 b) をセッ卜して 3人分の収容量のあるカップ (Cb) をフィルターの下方に載置した状態において (S 39) 、 3人分の設定釦 (59 b) を選択操作すると (S40) 、 カップ 3人分であることを判断し (S4 1) 、 注湯量を約 500 c cに設定した後 (S 48) 、 注湯バルブ (35) の開放 時間を長く (大) すると共に (S49) 、 「の」 の字の注湯軌跡サイズを 3人分に 合わせて 「大」 に設定した後 (S 50) 、 「の」 の字注湯を実行する。  Next, as shown in Fig. 10, a filter (4b) containing coffee powder for three persons is placed in the filter holder (3) in the middle, and a cup (3 When Cb) is placed below the filter (S39), when the selection button (59b) for three persons is selected and operated (S40), it is judged that the cup is for three cups (S41), After setting the pouring volume to about 500 cc (S48), the opening time of the pouring valve (35) is extended (large) (S49), and the pouring locus in the shape of “NO” is reduced to three persons. After setting to "Large" (S50), the character pouring of "NO" is executed.

これにより、複数人のコーヒー液を必要とする場合でも人数分の回数だけ抽出釦 を操作するような手間を省き、 一度に複数人分の抽出量を取り出すことができる。 第 21図及び第 22図は、フィルタ一が所定位置にセッ卜された時にフィルター への注湯を可能にするシステムの概略図、 第 23図は抽出器本体の外観図である。 (60) (60) (60) は本体の一部に取り付けた支持台、 (61) は前記支持 台に取り付けたリードスィッチ、 ホルダ一 (3) (3) (3) は前記支持台(60) に着脱、 又はスライド自在に設けられフィルタ一 (4) を着脱自在に収納する収納 部 (63) (63) (63) を有している。 (64) (64) (64) は前記ホル ダ一 (3) (3) (3) の一部に取り付けたマグネットである。 前記リードスイツ チ (61) (61) (61) とマグネット (64) (64) (64) は、 ホルダ一 が支持台 (60) の所定位置にセッ卜されているか、 いなかを検出する位置検出手 段を構成し、 この位置検出手段は、 ホルダーが所定位置にセットされた時に抽出釦This eliminates the need to operate the extraction button as many times as the number of people even when a plurality of people need coffee liquid, and can extract the extraction amount for a plurality of people at once. FIG. 21 and FIG. 22 are schematic views of a system that enables pouring of the filter when the filter is set at a predetermined position, and FIG. 23 is an external view of the main body of the extractor.

The position detecting means comprises an extraction button when the holder is set at a predetermined position.

(65) による注湯動作を実行する。 The pouring operation according to (65) is executed.

例えば、 第 21図に示す様に、 ホルダ一 (3) が所定位置にセットされている場 合には、 マグネット (64) によりリードスィッチ(61)が閉成し抽出釦(65) の操作を受け付け、 第 22図に示す様にホルダー (3)が所定位置にセッ卜されて いない場合には、 マグネット (64) はリードスィッチ (61) 付近まで届かずリ 一ドスイッチ (61) が開放したままとなり抽出釦 (65) を操作しても注湯動作 を開始しない。  For example, as shown in FIG. 21, when the holder (3) is set at a predetermined position, the reed switch (61) is closed by the magnet (64) and the operation of the extraction button (65) is stopped. When the holder (3) was not set in place as shown in Fig. 22, the magnet (64) did not reach the vicinity of the reed switch (61) and the lead switch (61) was opened. The pouring operation does not start even if the extraction button (65) is operated.

これにより、フィルタ一を所定位置にセットするのを怠った場合には熱湯がその ままカツプに注がれてコーヒーの抽出ができないとか、熱湯がホルダ一の一部に当 つて飛散するといつた様なことを防ぐことができる。  As a result, when the filter 1 is neglected to be set at a predetermined position, the hot water is poured into the cup as it is and the coffee cannot be extracted, or when the hot water hits a part of the holder 1 and scatters. Can be prevented.

この様な構成では、コーヒーを抽出する人と運ぶ人が各々の場所からカップの出 し入れが可能となる。 産業上の利用可能性  In such a configuration, a person who extracts coffee and a person who carries coffee can put a cup in and out of each place. Industrial applicability

常にコーヒー粉の広範囲に亙ってまんべんなく注湯し、 味覚、香りの優れた最適 なコーヒー液を抽出するもので、 特にこの様なコーヒー液を連続して取り出す。 ディレイ装置により揺動機構の作動を遅らせることによつて注湯バルブの開放 から所定時間遅延して注湯するため、注湯口からコーヒー粉に注湯されていないに も拘らず揺動機構が作動するのを防止する。  It is always poured evenly over a wide range of coffee grounds to extract the optimal coffee liquor with excellent taste and aroma. Especially, such coffee liquor is continuously taken out. By delaying the operation of the rocking mechanism by the delay device, the molten metal is poured for a predetermined time from the opening of the pouring valve, so that the rocking mechanism operates even though the coffee powder is not poured from the pouring port. To prevent

揺動機構は、注湯開始時の初期状態において、 注湯口をフィルターの中央部に配 置したため、常に注湯口の湯がコーヒー粉の中央部から注がれることになり、規則 性のある注湯によって最適なコーヒー液を得る。  In the swinging mechanism, in the initial state at the start of pouring, the pouring port is located in the center of the filter, so that the hot water in the pouring port is always poured from the center of the coffee powder, and the regular pouring is performed. Hot water gives the best coffee liquor.

第 1モ一夕と第 2モータにより注湯パイプをうず巻き状に旋回しながらコ一ヒ 一粉に注湯するため、複雑なリンク機構を用いることなぐ誤作動、故障のない「の」 の字を描くような注湯を行うことができる。  The pouring pipe is swirled by the first motor and the second motor to pour the powder into the powder while rotating the pouring pipe.Therefore, there is no malfunction or failure without using a complicated link mechanism. Pouring can be performed as if to draw.

第 1モータのシャフトと第 2モー夕のシャフ卜とを直交すべく配置して注湯パ イブを一方のモータで X軸方向、他方のモ一夕で Y軸方向に揺動してうず巻き状に 旋回し、 「の」 の字を描くが如き注湯するものであるから、 第 1モータの作動を正 確に第 2モー夕に伝え、延いては第 2モ一夕側に設けた注湯パイプを規定の位置に 旋回させることができると共に、 X軸方向と Y軸方向の揺動を単独にコントロール することができ、 うず巻き状の旋回に変化を加えることができる。  The shaft of the first motor and the shaft of the second motor are arranged so as to be orthogonal to each other, and the pouring pipe is swirled in the X-axis direction by one motor and in the Y-axis direction by the other motor. In this case, the operation of the first motor is accurately conveyed to the second motor and the second motor. The hot water pipe can be turned to the specified position, and the swing in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction can be controlled independently, making it possible to change the spiral winding.

第 1モ一夕と第 2モー夕を予め定められた複数個の座標点により作動させて 「の」の字注湯を行うものであるから、注湯パイプから注湯する場合には自動的に 定められた位置に 「の」 の注湯を行うため、 一方のモータの作動時間を変えるだけ で簡単に 「の」 の字の軌跡を大きくしたり、 小さくしたりすることができ、 フィル 夕一の大きさに合った 「の」 の字注湯が可能となる。 The first and second modes are activated by a plurality of predetermined coordinate points. Since the pouring of "no" is performed, when pouring from the pouring pipe, the operating time of one of the motors is changed so that the pouring of "no" is automatically performed at the specified position. The trajectory of the “no” character can be easily enlarged or reduced simply by using it alone.

第 1モータと第 2モー夕のスタート位置を設定する位置検出装置により注湯パ イブを揺動開始時の原点位置に補正するものであるから、注湯開始と同時に注湯パ ィプを所定の原点位置からうず巻き状の注湯を行うことができるため、コーヒー粉 の必要な領域に予め設定された必要な量の注湯ができ、熱湯をコーヒー粉の内部ま で浸透させて美味しいコ一ヒ一液の抽出を行う。  The pouring pipe is corrected to the home position at the start of rocking by the position detection device that sets the start position of the first motor and the second motor. Spiral-shaped pouring can be performed from the origin position of the coffee powder, so that a required amount of pre-set pouring can be performed in the required area of the coffee powder, and the hot water penetrates into the inside of the coffee powder to produce a delicious coffee. Extract the arsenic solution.

揺動機構により注湯パイプをフィルターの中心に臨む原点位置から旋回を開始 して 1回又は数回の旋回動作の終了後に原点位置に復帰するものであって、注湯パ イブを原点位置に補正する原点調整手段を設けたものであるから、揺動機構の取り 付け位置のバラツキにより注湯パイプが正規の位置にない場合でも原点調整手段 によつて正規の位置に補正し、注湯パイプの湯をフィルターに収容した被抽出物の 広範囲にまんべんなく注ぎコクと風味のある抽出を行う。  The oscillating mechanism starts turning the pouring pipe from the home position facing the center of the filter, and returns to the home position after one or several turning operations.The pouring pipe returns to the home position. Because the origin adjustment means is provided for correction, even if the pouring pipe is not at the correct position due to the variation of the mounting position of the swing mechanism, the pouring pipe is corrected to the correct position by the origin adjusting means, Pour the extract in a wide range evenly with the hot water stored in the filter for rich and flavorful extraction.

揺動装置により揺動しながらコーヒー粉に注湯する注湯パイプを、上パイプと下 パイプにより構成し、それぞれのパイプを、 柔軟性を有する継手により連結したも のであるから、仮に手や指が誤つて下パイプに触れたとしても揺動装置に悪影響を 与えることがないと共に、継手によって下パイプが元の位置に復帰し、 このパイプ の変形や位置ズレを防止する。  The pouring pipe for pouring coffee powder while oscillating with a rocking device is composed of an upper pipe and a lower pipe, and these pipes are connected by flexible joints. If the erroneously touches the lower pipe, it will not adversely affect the rocking device, and the joint returns the lower pipe to its original position, preventing deformation and displacement of this pipe.

湯沸タンクに給湯する湯温を貯湯タンク内の湯温よりも高い温度に保持するも のであるから、コ一ヒー液の抽出に必要な高温の湯は必要な時に直ぐに取り出すこ とができると共に、湯沸タンク内に不足した湯は低温度に温められた貯湯タンク内 の湯を湯沸タンク内に給湯するため、湯沸タンクでのコーヒー液の抽出に適した湯 温まで加熱する時間が短くなる。  Since the temperature of the hot water supplied to the hot water tank is maintained at a higher temperature than the temperature of the hot water in the hot water storage tank, the hot water required for extracting the coffee liquid can be taken out immediately when needed. Insufficient hot water in the hot water tank is supplied to the hot water tank from the hot water storage tank that has been heated to a low temperature, so it takes time to heat the hot water to the hot water temperature suitable for extracting coffee liquid in the hot water tank. Be shorter.

一端の開口部を湯沸タンクのオーバ一フローパイプの取水口よりも上方に連結 し他端の開口部を貯湯タンク内に連通して連結した導出パイプを設けたものであ るから、仮に気泡や波等によってオーバ一フローパイプの取水口が塞がれた時に注 湯パイプを開放しても湯沸タンク内は導出パイプから空気を吸い込んで負圧にな らずコーヒー液等の抽出作業を行うことができる。 Since the outlet at one end is connected above the intake port of the overflow pipe of the water heater tank and the outlet at the other end is connected to the inside of the hot water storage tank, an outlet pipe is connected. Even if the pouring pipe is opened when the intake pipe of the overflow pipe is blocked by waves or waves, the inside of the boiling tank draws air from the outlet pipe to create a negative pressure. Instead, it can extract coffee liquid and the like.

貯湯タンク内の湯温が所定温度よりも低い場合は、給湯ポンプの運転を行って貯 湯タンク内の湯と湯沸タンク内の湯の循環を行い、所定温度に達すると、給湯ボン プの運転を停止するものであるから、 1つのヒータによって多量の湯を抽出に適し た状態の湯温まで上昇させることができ、最小限の使用電力で連続して抽出できる。 カップの内容量に応じて注湯量を変更する注湯量設定手段を設けたものである から、複数人の抽出液を必要とする場合でも人数分の回数だけ操作釦を操作すると いったような手間を省くことができると共に、一度に数人分の抽出量を取り出すこ とができるため、 同時に同じ温かさの抽出液をサービスできる。  If the temperature of the hot water in the hot water storage tank is lower than the predetermined temperature, the hot water supply pump is operated to circulate the hot water in the hot water storage tank and the hot water in the hot water tank. Since the operation is stopped, a large amount of hot water can be raised to a temperature suitable for extraction by one heater, and continuous extraction can be performed with minimum power consumption. The system is provided with a pouring volume setting means that changes the pouring volume according to the cup's internal capacity, so that even when multiple people need extract, the operation buttons must be operated as many times as the number of people. And the extraction volume of several people at a time can be taken out at the same time, so that the same hot extract can be served at the same time.

ホルダーが所定位置にセッ卜された時に操作釦による注湯動作を実行するもの であるから、 ホルダーが正しい位置にセットされていない場合には、抽出できない ことになり、 熱湯が飛散して火傷したり、 或は熱湯を無駄に垂れ流すことも未然に 防止する。  When the holder is set at the predetermined position, the pouring operation is performed by the operation button.If the holder is not set at the correct position, it will not be possible to extract water, and the hot water will scatter and burn. Also, it prevents the draining of hot water or wasteful water.

ホルダ一には、 その一部にフィルタ一の収納部を形成したものであるから、 フィ ルターのホルダ一へのセッ卜が簡単となる。  Since the holder has a housing for the filter formed in a part thereof, the filter can be easily set in the holder.

力ップを左側から、又は右側から取り出すように基台とフィルターとの間に左右 に貫通する空洞を形成したものであるから、 空洞の下面に置かれたカップを、 左側 又は右側から容易に取り出すことが出来る。  Since a cavity is formed between the base and the filter so that the forceps can be taken out from the left side or the right side, the cup placed on the lower surface of the cavity can be easily removed from the left or right side. Can be taken out.
