<p>An automatic ice cream vendor comprises: a piston drive motor for driving a piston which controls dispensing ice cream from a cylinder according to control by a control portion; a piston sensor for detecting whether the piston is driven to a dispensing position that is open or closed and applying detection data of same to the control portion; a holder drive motor for driving a holder according to control by the control portion to lift or lower a container which is inserted into the holder; a top sensor for detecting whether the container has been lifted toward a dispensing port and applying detection data of same to the control portion; and a down sensor, which is installed at a position below the top sensor, for detecting whether the container is inserted into the holder or whether the container inserted into the holder has been lowered from the dispensing port, and applying detection data of same to the control portion. The control portion controls the piston drive motor after detecting that the container is inserted into the holder by means of the down sensor, so that the dispensing port of the cylinder is open by means of the piston, and controls the holder drive motor while the ice cream is dispensed so that the container is discontinuously lowered by means of the holder, thereby controlling the shape of the ice cream that accumulates in the container.</p> |
