Description

Technical field

The utility model refers to a self-service beverage system that can be used in catering establishments such as restaurants, eateries, pubs, and the like.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There is no known system for self-dispensing beverages at catering establishments.

In practice, the customers of the establishments order the drinks that are brought to them by the service staff. Moreover, the cuts or quantities of beverages are strictly regulated and are not negotiable between the client and the service personnel. On the other hand, sometimes the drinks themselves are not served at their recommended temperature or because of the larger quantity served, their temperature changes before they are completely consumed.

The technical nature of the utility model

The task of the utility model is to create a system for self-infusion of beverages in catering establishments, so that the customer can pour drinks as much as he wants, and at the same time be able to monitor his account.

This task is solved by having a circulating pump connected to the beverage storage apparatus by means of a main pipeline, which in turn is also connected via a main pipeline to a refrigeration unit. To the part of the main pipeline forming a closed circuit between the refrigeration unit and the circulation pump, in succession to each other, are connected N numbers of self-contained units for pouring the beverage.

Each individual beverage dispenser is equipped with a beverage dispenser and an electronic display flowmeter.

A button is connected to the electronic display, which is activated by a control key.

On both sides of the circulation pump, a sanitary inlet and outlet pipeline are connected to the main pipeline via taps.

By means of additional terminals, several pressure gauges and several temperature sensors for measuring the beverage temperature at different points of the system are mounted on the main pipeline of the system and on the beverage storage apparatus.

The refrigeration unit, the circulation pump, and each of the beverage dispensers are connected to a power source.

The system allows self-service to customers who can pour as much as they want from the drink. In this way the drink reaches the consumer with preserved nutritional qualities. The client also has the opportunity to monitor the movement of his account, which generally increases his comfort in the establishment.

Explanation of the attached figure

An exemplary embodiment of the utility model is shown in the accompanying figure 1, which is a block diagram of a system for dispensing beverages in establishments.

An example of a utility model

From the outset of consideration of the exemplary embodiment, it should be noted that in this exemplary embodiment the beverage is beer, but the capabilities of the system are not limited to this beverage only.

The system for self-infusion of beverages in establishments consists of a beverage storage apparatus 1 - FIG. 1, to which a circulation pump 5 is connected by means of a main pipe 2 through a first tap 3 and a second tap 4. The beverage storage apparatus 1 in this case is an isothermal vessel (hollow cylindrical body) closed from the bottom and from above. with cover to which a removable removable sunroof is used to power the brew apparatus 1.

Circulation pump 5, also by axis 2

1185 The new pipeline 2 is connected via a third tap 6 to a refrigerating unit 7 for cooling the beer. Circulation pump 5 maintains a certain pressure (0.5-3.10 Pa) in the system and ensures homogeneity of the beverage with respect to its composition. The refrigeration unit 7 maintains the required beer temperature in the system - in this case from 0 to 12 ° C.

To the portion of the main pipeline 2 forming a closed circuit between the refrigeration unit 7 and the circulation pump 5, in series with each other, are connected N-numbers of self-contained units 8 for pouring the beverage. At the beginning of the closed circuit, a fourth tap 9 is installed after the refrigeration unit 7, and at the end of the closed circuit, before the refrigeration unit 7, a six tap 10 and a seventh tap 11 are mounted to the main pipeline 2. Each separate unit 8 is fitted with a tap for dispensing the beverage and with an electronic flowmeter (not shown in the attached figure) for counting the amount of beverage passed through the faucet of the stand-alone unit 8, and for recording the amount paid. Resetting the electronic display, when required, is performed by a button that is actuated by a control key. The control key is stored by the service staff of the establishment. Each single unit 8 is mounted on a separate table from the restaurant, so that customers at that table can freely and without the intervention of the service staff pour their drinks as they wish.

In the system, on both sides of the circulation pump 5, to the main pipeline 2, a sanitary inlet pipeline 14 and an outlet pipeline 15, which are used for washing and disinfection of the system, are connected through two taps inlet 12 and outlet 13. The outlet pipeline 15 is also used as needed to drain the beverage from the system.

By means of additional terminals, several pressure sensing gauges 16 and several temperature sensors 17 for measuring temperature at different points of the system are mounted to the main pipeline 2 of the system and to the beverage storage apparatus 1.

The refrigeration unit 7, the circulation pump 5, and each of the beverage dispensing units 8 are connected to a supply voltage source 18.

Using the utility model

When the beer has already developed its aromatic taste and is edible, it is transferred to the storage and distribution apparatus 1. The transfer of the beer to the storage and distribution apparatus takes place after the beer has been pre-washed, disinfected and counterpressed. , according to the selected filling scheme. After filling the beverage storage and distribution apparatus 1, in this case the beer is connected to the system by means of the first tap 3 and the second tap 4. The circulation pump 5 and the refrigeration unit 7 are also switched on, thus making the system ready for use and use by the customers of the establishment.

Washing and disinfection of the beverage dispensing system in establishments is carried out using the inlet pipeline 14 and the outlet pipeline 15 and the corresponding taps to control the flow through the system.
