Abstract
A system is disclosed for dispensing and mixing metered amounts of first and second liquid components of a soft drink. The system comprises a mixing chamber connected by separate feed conduits to pressurized sources of the first and second liquid components. First normally closed valves are located in and demarcate the feed conduits into upstream and downstream sections. The first valves are openend automatically in response to pressure above a threshold level in their respective upstream conduit sections, and are operative when open to deliver a constant flow of liquid through their respective downstream conduit sections to the mixing chamber. Second normally closed valves are located in the upstream conduit sections. The second valves are opened in response to a command signal, and each second valve automatically closes in response to a drop in pressure blow the threshold level in the upstream conduit section of the other second valve.
Description
The cross reference of related application
The application requires to be set forth in respectively No. the 60/440th, 980, the temporary patent application on January 18th, 2003 and on February 25th, 2003 and the 60/440th, No. 949 preceence.
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to soft drink dispensers, and particularly a kind of improved system, this system can carry the soft drink ingredients (for example seasoning syrup and carbonated water) of measured quantity consistently.
Background technology
The known delivery system that is used for soft drink dispensers is very complicated on physical construction, and it not only costs an arm and a leg, and frequent et out of order, thereby requires often to carry out expensive handling labor.Known delivery system also can mal ground operation when the supply failure of one of all beverage ingredients.Therefore, for example, when mixing molasses and carbonated water, supply has been used up as fructose syrup, and does not in time fill, and then this system will continue only to carry carbonated water.
An object of the present invention is to provide a kind of soft drink dispensing system, this system design is simple and with low cost, and can be unvaryingly, operation reliably, and do not need often to safeguard.
A further object of the invention provides a kind of distribution system, if a kind of supply of liquid component owing to any reason (for example under differential pressure to a threshold level) is interrupted, then the supply of other liquid component can be interrupted automatically in this system.
A further object of the present invention provides a kind of distribution system, and this system can monitor the volume of the every kind of liquid that is distributed exactly.
Summary of the invention
A system in accordance with the present invention comprises the device of pump or other equivalence, and these devices are used under pressure first and second liquid components of soft drink via ducting independently to a blending box or similarly local.First normal close valve is arranged in the feeding pipeline, and it is divided into Upstream section and tract.First response valve is higher than the pressure of a threshold level and opens automatically in their upstream conduit sections, and work when opening, and the downstream pipe section of passing them with the liquid with steady flow is delivered to blending box.
Second normal close valve is arranged in upstream conduit sections.Function unit responds a command signal and opens second valve, and the pressure in the upstream conduit sections of each second valve of response is reduced to the situation under the threshold level and automatically closes other second valve.
Feature of these and other and the advantage of being brought are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings in further detail.
Description of drawings
The single width accompanying drawing is an a schematic illustration of a system in accordance with the present invention.
The specific embodiment
According to the present invention, as shown in drawings, a molasses pump 10 will for example be transported to a blending box 18 for one first soft drink composition of seasoning syrup via feed line 12 and by valve 14,16.One carbonic acid water pump 20 is transported to blending box 18 via second feed line 22 of separating and by valve 24 and 26 with carbonated water.Syrup and carbonated water are mixed in blending box 18, are placed in following cup or the analogue (not shown) to be transported to one via outlet 28.
Valve 14 and 24 is normal on/off solenoid actuating type valves that close.Valve 16 and 26 is normal constant flow pattern valves that close, and this valve is for example in US Patent the 6th, 026, No. 850 and the 6th, 209, description is arranged in No. 578, and these two described contents of patent are incorporated herein, for your guidance.
Pressure switch 30,32 is connected to power supply 34 via a M/C button control switches 36 of often opening.
Switch 30 is connected to electromagnetic valve 14, and is arranged to come pressure P in the sensing feed line 22 via take-off line 38
2Similarly, switch 32 is connected to electromagnetic valve 24, and is arranged to via the pressure P in the take-off line 40 sensing feed lines 12
1
Pressure switch the 30, the 32nd is often opened, and closes by off switch 36, by this one " opening " command signal is delivered to valve 14,24.When valve 14,24 is opened, come line pressure P1, the P2 of self-pumping 10,20 to be sent to valve 16,26, suppose these pressure on the threshold level of preliminary election, then valve 16,26 is just opened, and the liquid flow of constant volume is delivered to blending box 18.If pressure P
1, P
2Change but still remain on the threshold level simultaneously, then valve 16,18 will be worked to guarantee a having steady flow to enter blending box.
As a result, for example, come the syrup supply failure of self-pumping 10, and pressure P
1Be reduced under the threshold pressure that is assigned to feed line 12, valve 16 is with SELF CL.Meanwhile, this differential pressure will be perceived by switch 32 via take-off line 40, cause switch 32 to be opened automatically, and cause electromagnetic valve 24 also to be closed.
Response pressure P
2Drop under its specified threshold level, also can carry out a series of similar operation, that is valve 26 is with SELF CL, and pressure switch 30 will be opened automatically to close electromagnetic valve 14.
Adopt such layout, blending box 18 is always accepted the syrup and the carbonated water of correct proportions, and a kind of supply failure of beverage ingredient will trigger the interruption of another kind of batching supply automatically.
One survey meter 42 can be connected to switch 36, with the actuating time of record pump 10,20.Survey meter 42 can have a LCD and read read out instrument, also can work via a remote measurement connecting device 44, with data transmission to a central computer.The steady flow of the actuating time of pump and transducer valve 16,26 lumps together syrup and/or the carbonated water consumption that just can monitor exactly at each distribution locations place.
As used herein, carbonic acid and noncarbonated beverage products wanted to comprise in term " soft drink ".Therefore, those those skilled in the art that will appreciate that, can adopt the present invention in all beverage dispensing applications occasions that liquid seasoning or analogue are mixed with liquid diluent.
I require following right:
