4. A moulded dispense head mounted at the front of the unit connects the tubes
from the various mixing systems, and hot water, to separate dispense nozzles.
N.B. An illustration showing the parts breakdown for the Moving Dispense Head
is included in Section 12 - page 114. Dispense pipe lengths are shown on pages 81
to 83.
7.5 Cup Dispense Unit
1. Cups (either paper or plastic) are stored in tubes which are located above the
cup dispense unit.The unit incorporates a 24v DC motor for Indexing the correct
turret over the cup drop unit as required.
2. When a selection is made the Main Controller checks that the cups are not sold
out, a 230v AC solenoid is energised and a cup is dispensed.
3. The cups are separated and ‘dropped’ by a cup ring. The cup ring comprises six
separator cams operated by a solenoid, which is controlled by the vending
machine controller.
4. The cup level is monitored by an electronic system. An infrared LED (cup sensor
transmitter) is positioned in the cup assembly above the cup splitter, with an
infrared detector (cup sensor receiver) mounted directly opposite.
5. The light emitted by the LED is detected when NO CUPS are present. With a
stack of cups present, the beam is broken. As the cups drop below the LED,
transmitted light is detected. If this is the case, the controller will index the cup
tubes until a full stack is located. A turret location micro-switch ensures that the
cup tubes stop centrally over the cup ring.
N.B. The turret motor will run until the next stack is deposited into the cup
splitter, which breaks the LED beam, and the cup stack micro switch returns to
its normally open state. The motor will run until it either finds the next stack or
all the turret extrusions have been checked.
6. The cup stack index motor is protected by a time-out feature.The cup stack will
rotate for a maximum period of 60 seconds. If
all of the cup tubes are empty at the end of this
period, the machine will display the message as
shown opposite. Customers may then use their
own cup/mug in order to make and receive a
vend.
