Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, in the stirring unit disclosed in Patent Document 1, the purpose is to stir only the liquid to generate foam, and it is not necessarily the most suitable for stirring fine powder and liquid made from tea leaves or the like.
[0007] In the case of using a stirring blade including a helical blade portion, the stirring strength is weak and the powder cannot be sufficiently stirred
Therefore, the powder cannot be uniformly and sufficiently diffused and lumps of the powder remain, so it is impossible to stir the powder and at the same time generate very fine foam

Embodiment approach 1

[0048] (drink making device 1)

[0049] refer to Figure 1 to Figure 4 , the beverage manufacturing device 1 of the present embodiment will be described. figure 1 is an overall perspective view of the beverage manufacturing device 1, figure 2 From figure 1 A cross-sectional view viewed in the direction of the arrow on the line II-II, image 3 It is an overall perspective view showing the schematic structural elements of the beverage production device 1 . Figure 4 It is a block diagram showing the control configuration of the beverage production device.

[0050] Such as Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown, the beverage manufacturing apparatus 1 uses tea leaves as objects to be pulverized, and pulverizes the tea leaves to obtain tea powder. Tea as a beverage is produced using the tea powder obtained in the above manner. The beverage manufacturing device 1 includes: a device main body 100 as a main body, a grinding unit 300, a stirring unit 500, a liquid storage container 700...

Embodiment approach 2

[0156] refer to Figure 24 , the detailed flow of the process of starting stirring in the beverage manufacturing apparatus 1A of this embodiment will be described. Figure 24 It is a flowchart showing the detailed flow of the process of starting stirring.

[0157] The beverage production apparatus 1A of this embodiment differs from the beverage production apparatus of Embodiment 1 in that the control unit does not necessarily control the driving unit to switch the normal rotation and reverse rotation of the stirring blade, but the other configurations are substantially the same. Therefore, only the operation of the stirring blade in the step of starting stirring is different.

[0158] In step 16, if the beverage manufacturing apparatus 1A of this embodiment starts stirring the tea powder and hot water in the stirring unit 500, first in step 161, the control unit 110 controls the stirring motor unit 140 to make the stirring blade 550 rotate at a speed of V1 rotates forward. ...

Embodiment approach 3

[0165] In conventional stirring units that can only stir liquids such as milk to generate very fine foams, the amount of liquid supplied to the mixing drum is detected by a top-up mark indicating that sufficient liquid has been supplied into the mixing drum. In this case, it is necessary to supply the liquid until the full mark is displayed, and it may not be possible to perform proper agitation corresponding to the desired amount of liquid. When the detection sensor is arranged in the mixing drum, it is necessary to arrange the detection sensor for every predetermined water level, which may complicate the structure.

[0166] An object of this embodiment is to detect the amount of liquid supplied to the mixing drum with a simple structure.

[0167] refer to Figure 25 , the configuration of the beverage manufacturing apparatus 1B of the present embodiment will be described. Figure 25 It is a block diagram showing the configuration of the beverage manufacturing device.

Abstract

This beverage manufacturing apparatus (1) employs a liquid and a powder to manufacture a beverage, and is provided with: a stirring unit (500) that includes a stirring paddle (550) for stirring the liquid and the powder, and a stirring tank (510) for accommodating the stirring paddle (550); a stirring paddle drive part (140) for driving rotation of the stirring paddle (550); and a controller for controlling the stirring paddle drive part (140). The stirring paddle (550) is provided with a plurality of paddle parts (220) having a center axis of rotation, and arranged encircling the center axis of rotation. The controller controls the stirring paddle drive part (140) in such a way as to switch between forward rotation and reverse rotation of the stirring paddle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a beverage manufacturing device that manufactures beverages using powder and liquid obtained by pulverizing an object to be pulverized. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, beverage supply devices such as tea machines and coffee machines are equipped with not only a device for supplying powder and hot water to provide beverages, but also a stirring unit for frothing milk and the like. Since extremely fine foam can smoothen the mouthfeel of beverages, it is necessary to generate extremely fine foam as the preference for beverages has diversified in recent years. [0003] As a document disclosing a stirring unit that generates extremely fine foam by stirring only a liquid such as milk, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2011-245315 (Patent Document 1) is exemplified. [0004] The agitation unit disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes: an agitation blade having a helical blade portion formed by a continuou...
