Technical field
The present invention relates to method for distributing beverage and beverage dispensing system in general, such as, for cafeteria, restaurant (comprising fast-food restaurant), cinema, convenience store, petrol service station and other amusement and/or food and beverage sevice place.
Background technology
Various beverage dispenser (such as cafeteria, restaurant, cinema and other amusement and/or food and beverage sevice place those) there is " lower hanging (dropin) " dispenser device or platform-type dispenser device usually.In lower hanging dispenser device, dispenser device is self-centered and can inserts in the hole of table top.In platform-type dispenser device, dispenser device is positioned on table top.In traditional beverage dispenser, dispensing head is attached to specific drink syrup source of supply via single pipeline, described single pipeline is specifically designed to and specific drink syrup is supplied to described dispensing head, wherein said specific drink syrup source of supply is usually located near table top, that is, immediately below table top, or directly over table top.
Press the button or cup be press against feed rod with start distributor, to make selected beverage be released from the dispensing head corresponding to selected beverage and be released into cup until removed from button or bar by pressure below the mark that user will be placed on selected beverage cup usually.
Traditional beverage dispenser is limited to the beverage distributing limited amount usually.Such as, at traditional beverage dispenser place, usual obtainable beverage is common cola drink, diet coke beverage, one or more non-cola type sodas possibly, such as, lemon-lime taste soda or some other fruit flavored (such as, orange taste soda and/or root beer), and one or more noncarbonated beverage products possibly, such as tea and/or lemon juice.
The component of traditional distributing box usual side by side rationing compound or beverage, and by the mixing of two or more continuous print product component stream is obtained final product.When only using the component of low concentration, this traditional method may operate well.But if one or more in component are high enrichment, then the flow velocity of the component of one or more the such high enrichment needed for continuous print mixing becomes very little.In order to be formed and maintain so very little and stable stream, need point-device and therefore rationing costly, distributing equipment.The lower equipment of comparatively cheap but accuracy rate may with the component of required level of accuracy rationing high enrichment, but the flow velocity obtained of the such component stream formed may be high unacceptable and be therefore unsuitable for the continuous print mixing of flowing.
Need a kind of not there is the limitation of traditional beverage dispenser and method and the beverage dispensing system of shortcoming.
