Disclosure of Invention
Although the beverage maker can be washed by the above-described structure, there is a possibility that the beverage maker cannot be kept clean, for example, when the operator does not perform washing at an appropriate frequency. At this point, it is possible to provide a beverage from a beverage machine that is not clean.
The invention aims to provide a cleaning device of a beverage machine, which can prevent beverage from being provided from the beverage machine which is not cleaned for a certain period of time.
One aspect of the present invention is a cleaning device for a beverage machine, including: a 1 st fluid inlet connected to a gas supply source; a 2 nd fluid inlet connected to a cleaning liquid supply source; a 1 st fluid outlet in fluid communication with the 1 st fluid inlet, the 2 nd fluid inlet, and connected to the fluid inlet of a dispensing head mounted on the beverage container; a 1 st flow path connecting the 1 st fluid inlet and the 1 st fluid outlet; a 2 nd flow path connecting the 2 nd fluid inlet and the 1 st fluid outlet; a 1 st valve provided in the 1 st flow path; a 2 nd valve provided in the 2 nd flow path; a 3 rd fluid inlet connected to the fluid outlet of the dispense head; a 2 nd fluid outlet in fluid communication with the 3 rd fluid inlet and connected to the beverage maker; a 3 rd flow path connecting the 3 rd fluid inlet and the 2 nd fluid outlet; a 3 rd valve provided in the 3 rd flow path; and a processor in communication with the 1 st valve, the 2 nd valve, and the 3 rd valve, wherein the processor comprises: a beverage supply mode for providing a beverage comprising supplying gas from the 1 st fluid outlet by opening the 1 st valve; and a washing mode for washing the beverage maker, including supplying the washing liquid from the 1 st fluid outlet by opening the 2 nd valve, in the beverage supply mode, the processor being configured to close the 3 rd valve when the washing mode is not being performed and the beverage supply mode is maintained for a prescribed 1 st period or more, thereby activating a supply restriction function for restricting the supply of the beverage from the beverage maker that has not been washed for the prescribed 1 st period or more.
According to the cleaning device of the aspect disclosed in the present invention, instead of being directly connected to the beverage maker, the dispenser head is connected to the beverage maker via the 3 rd flow path of the cleaning device. In addition, the 3 rd flow path is provided with a 3 rd valve. In the beverage supply mode, the 3 rd valve is closed when the cleaning mode is not performed and the beverage supply mode is maintained for a predetermined 1 st period or longer, thereby restricting the supply of beverage from the beverage machine that has not been cleaned for the predetermined 1 st period or longer. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the beverage from being provided from a beverage maker which has not been washed for more than a certain period of time.
The cleaning device may further include a 1 st sensor for detecting whether or not the beverage is present in the 3 rd flow path, the 1 st sensor having a beverage detection state in which the beverage is detected and a beverage non-detection state in which the beverage is not detected, and the processor may be configured to close the 3 rd valve when the 1 st sensor switches from the beverage detection state to the beverage non-detection state in the beverage supply mode, thereby activating a splash prevention function for preventing gas from being ejected from the beverage maker. When the beverage container is emptied when a beverage is supplied, gas starts to flow in the flow path from the dispensing head to the beverage maker, and therefore gas may be ejected from the beverage maker to cause splashing of the beverage in the container such as a glass. At this time, since the gas starts to flow in the 3 rd flow path, the 1 st sensor is switched from the beverage detection state to the beverage non-detection state. Therefore, in the beverage supply mode, the 3 rd valve is closed when the 1 st sensor is switched from the beverage detection state to the beverage non-detection state, thereby stopping the flow of the beverage and the gas and preventing the beverage from splashing.
In the beverage supply mode, the processor may be configured to close the 3 rd valve when the splash prevention function is not activated and the beverage supply mode is maintained for a predetermined period 2 or more, thereby activating an expiration prevention function for preventing the beverage from being supplied from the beverage container that has not been replaced for the predetermined period 2 or more. As described above, in the cleaning device having the splash guard function, the splash guard function is activated when the beverage container is emptied in the beverage supply mode (i.e., when the empty beverage container is replaced with a new beverage container filled with beverage). Therefore, in the beverage supply mode, when the splash prevention function is not activated and the beverage supply mode is maintained for a certain period or longer, this indicates that the beverage container is not replaced with a new beverage container during the period. Accordingly, in the beverage supply mode, the 3 rd valve is closed when the splash prevention function is not activated and the beverage supply mode is maintained for a predetermined period 2 or more, thereby preventing a beverage from being supplied from a beverage container that has not been replaced for a long period of time (for example, a beverage whose shelf life has passed).
In the cleaning mode, the processor may be configured to open the 1 st valve to supply the gas from the 1 st fluid outlet, open the 2 nd valve when the 1 st sensor is switched from the beverage detection state to the beverage non-detection state for a predetermined 3 rd period when the gas is supplied from the 1 st fluid outlet, thereby supplying the cleaning liquid from the 1 st fluid outlet, and not open the 2 nd valve when the 1 st sensor maintains the beverage detection state for the 3 rd period when the gas is supplied from the 1 st fluid outlet. In the cleaning apparatus according to this aspect, in the cleaning mode, the gas is first supplied to the distribution head before the cleaning liquid is supplied. In this situation, when the connection state in the dispensing head has been switched appropriately (i.e. when the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet of the dispensing head are connected without passing through the interior of the beverage container), the beverage that has stagnated in the flow path from the dispensing head to the beverage maker is pressed out by the gas supply. Thus, on the 3 rd flow path, the 1 st sensor switches from the beverage detecting state to the beverage non-detecting state. In contrast, when the connection state in the dispensing head is not properly switched (i.e., when the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet of the dispensing head are connected through the inside of the beverage container), the beverage inside the beverage container continues to flow due to the gas supply. Thus, in the 3 rd flow path, the 1 st sensor maintains the beverage detection state. Accordingly, in the cleaning device according to the present embodiment, when the gas is first supplied in the cleaning mode, the cleaning liquid is supplied when the 1 st sensor is switched from the beverage detection state to the beverage non-detection state within the predetermined 3 rd period, while the 2 nd valve is not opened when the 1 st sensor maintains the beverage detection state within the 3 rd period. As such, the 2 nd valve is not opened (i.e., the cleaning liquid is not flowed) when the 1 st sensor maintains the beverage detection state (i.e., when the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet communicate while the dispensing head passes through the interior of the beverage container), and thus it is possible to prevent the cleaning liquid from being erroneously supplied to the interior of the beverage container.
The cleaning apparatus may further include a 2 nd sensor for detecting whether or not gas flows in the 1 st flow path, the 2 nd sensor having a gas flow detection state in which gas flow is detected and a gas flow non-detection state in which gas flow is not detected, and the processor may be configured to, in the cleaning mode, supply the cleaning liquid and then open the 1 st valve to supply gas from the 1 st fluid outlet, and to notify an error when the 2 nd sensor switches from the gas flow detection state to the gas flow non-detection state for a predetermined 4 th period when gas is supplied from the 1 st fluid outlet. After the cleaning liquid is supplied to the flow path of the beverage, the cleaning liquid retained in the flow path needs to be pressed out with gas. Before the retained cleaning liquid is completely pressed out, for example when an operator closes a stopcock of the beverage machine, it is possible that cleaning liquid remains in the flow path. When the stopcock valve is closed, the flow of gas in the 1 st flow path is stopped. In the cleaning apparatus of the present embodiment, the 2 nd sensor can detect whether or not gas flows. When gas is supplied to press out the cleaning liquid, the controller notifies an error when the 2 nd sensor switches from the gas flow detection state to the gas flow non-detection state within a predetermined 4 th period. Thus, it is possible to prevent the operator from erroneously closing the cock valve of the beverage maker before completely removing the cleaning liquid in the flow path.
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a cleaning device for a beverage machine that can prevent a beverage from being supplied from a beverage machine that has not been cleaned for a certain period of time or longer.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, a cleaning device for a beverage maker according to an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same or corresponding elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description thereof is omitted. For easy understanding, the scale of the drawings is sometimes changed.
Fig. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a beverage supply system including a cleaning device of a beverage machine according to embodiment 1. Referring to fig. 1, the beverage supply system 100 includes a cleaning device 10, a beverage container 50, a beverage maker 60, a gas supply source 70, and a cleaning liquid supply source 80. A dispensing head 51 is attached to the beverage container 50 through a spear valve (not shown).
The cleaning device 10 is used to clean the flow path of the beverage from the dispenser head 51 to the beverage maker 60. The cleaning device 10 has a hood 1. The cover 1 is provided with a 1 st fluid inlet 11, a 2 nd fluid inlet 12, a 3 rd fluid inlet 13, a 1 st fluid outlet 21 and a 2 nd fluid outlet 22. The 1 st fluid inlet 11, the 2 nd fluid inlet 12, and the 1 st fluid outlet 21 are connected to the gas supply source 70, the cleaning liquid supply source 80, and the fluid inlet 52 of the dispenser head 51 via pipes P1, P2, and P3, respectively. The 3 rd fluid inlet 13 and the 2 nd fluid outlet 22 are connected to the fluid outlet 53 of the dispenser head 51 and the beverage maker 60 via pipes P4 and P5, respectively. Joints for connecting the pipes P1 to P5 may be provided in the 1 st fluid inlet 11, the 2 nd fluid inlet 12, the 3 rd fluid inlet 13, the 1 st fluid outlet 21, and the 2 nd fluid outlet 22, respectively.
The beverage container 50 may be, for example, a beer keg. The beverage container 50 can store various beverages (for example, beer, alcoholic carbonated beverages other than beer (for example, sparkling liquor, sparkling alcoholic beverages with beer flavor (so-called third-class beer) produced from materials other than malt and mixed with other alcoholic beverages, carbonated liquor, high cocktail (highball)), or nonalcoholic carbonated beverages (nonalcoholic beer or carbonated fruit juice)).
The distribution head 51 has a fluid inlet 52 and a fluid outlet 53, and 3 connection states (details will be described later) are provided between the fluid inlet 52 and the fluid outlet 53. In addition, the dispensing head 51 has an operating lever 54.
Fig. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram of a beverage supply system showing an internal configuration of the cleaning device of the beverage maker of fig. 1. Referring to fig. 2, the operation lever 54 is switchable to, for example, 3 positions (e.g., "up" position, "middle" position, "down" position), and 1 of the 3 connection states is selectable at each position.
For example, in the "up" position, the dispensing head 51 disconnects the fluid inlet 52, the interior of the beverage container 50, the fluid outlet 53 from each other. For example, the "up" position may be used when replacing the beverage container 50 with a new beverage container.
For example, in the "mid" position, the dispensing head 51, while connecting the fluid inlet 52 and the fluid outlet 53, disconnects the interior of the beverage container 50 from the fluid inlet 52, the fluid outlet 53 (i.e., does not pass through the interior of the beverage container 50 and connects the fluid inlet 52 and the fluid outlet 53). The "neutral" position may be used when performing a cleaning mode as described below.
For example, in the "down" position, the dispensing head 51 connects the fluid inlet 52 with the interior of the beverage container 50 and connects the interior of the beverage container 50 with the fluid outlet 53 (i.e., connects the fluid inlet 52 with the fluid outlet 53 through the interior of the beverage container 50). The "down" position may be used when implementing a beverage supply mode as described below.
Although the dispensing head 51 has 3 connection states in the present embodiment, the dispensing head 51 may have only 2 connection states in other embodiments (i.e., a state in which the fluid inlet 52 and the fluid outlet 53 are connected without passing through the inside of the beverage container 50 and a state in which the fluid inlet 52 and the fluid outlet 53 are connected with passing through the inside of the beverage container 50). The positions of the "up", "middle", and "down" of the operating lever 54 for realizing the respective connection states are merely examples, and the respective connection states may be realized by different positions of the operating lever 54. In addition, instead of the positions of "up", "center", and "down", the operating lever 54 may be switched to the positions of "left", "center", and "right", or other positions, for example.
Referring to fig. 1, the beverage maker 60 may have, for example, a cock-type valve (hereinafter, may also be referred to as a "cock valve") 61. Below the discharge port 62 of the cock valve 61, a vessel (not shown) such as a glass is disposed for supplying a beverage, and a relatively large vessel B such as a water tub is disposed for cleaning and replacing the beverage vessel 50. The beverage maker 60 includes a cooling water tank 63, and a coiled pipe 64 connected to the cock valve 61 is housed in the cooling water tank 63. The cooling water tank 63 is cooled by a cooling device 65. With this structure, the beverage flowing through the coiled tube 64 is cooled. The pipe P5 is connected to the coiled pipe 64.
The gas supply source 70 may be, for example, a gas cylinder. The gas supply source 70 can supply a gas such as a carbonic acid gas, a nitrogen gas, or a compressed air. The cleaning liquid supply source 80 supplies a cleaning liquid for cleaning the flow path of the beverage. The cleaning liquid may be, for example, water, and in this case, the cleaning liquid supply source 80 may be, for example, a tap water pipe. When the cleaning liquid supply source 80 is a tap water pipe, a pressure reducing valve RV may be further provided on the pipe P2 connected to the cleaning liquid supply source 80. When the cleaning liquid supply source 80 is a tap water pipe, for example, 1.5 to 7kgf/cm2Water is supplied from a tap water pipe, and the pressure can be reduced to, for example, 1.0kgf/cm by a pressure reducing valve RV2Left and right.
Next, the cleaning apparatus 10 will be described in detail. Referring to fig. 2, the cleaning device 10 includes a 1 st channel 31, a 2 nd channel 32, a 3 rd channel 33, and a processor 2 in a cover 1. Referring to fig. 1, the cleaning device 10 further includes a display unit 3 and a button 4. The cleaning apparatus 10 may further include other components such as a memory and a real-time clock, which are not shown. For example, the real-time clock may be used to measure whether or not various periods shown below have elapsed.
Referring to fig. 2, the 1 st fluid channel 31 connects the 1 st fluid inlet 11 and the 1 st fluid outlet 21, whereby the 1 st fluid inlet 11 and the 1 st fluid outlet 21 are in fluid communication. The 2 nd flow path 32 connects the 2 nd fluid inlet 12 with the 1 st fluid outlet 21, whereby the 2 nd fluid inlet 12 is in fluid communication with the 1 st fluid outlet 21. The 3 rd flow path 33 connects the 3 rd fluid inlet 13 with the 2 nd fluid outlet 22, whereby the 3 rd fluid inlet 13 is in fluid communication with the 2 nd fluid outlet 22.
The 1 st, 2 nd, and 3 rd flow paths 31, 32, and 33 can be formed of pipes made of various materials (for example, Polyethylene (PE), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDF), ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE), or Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)) that can resist the pressure of the beverage, gas, and cleaning fluid.
The 1 st flow path 31 is provided with a 1 st valve V1 and a 1 st check valve CV 1. The 1 st valve V1 may be, for example, a pilot type solenoid valve. The 1 st valve V1 may be, for example, in a Normally Open (NO) state.
The 2 nd flow path 32 is provided with a 2 nd valve V2 and a 2 nd check valve CV 2. The 2 nd valve V2 may be, for example, a direct-acting solenoid valve. The 2 nd valve V2 may be, for example, in a Normally Closed (NC) state.
The 3 rd flow path 33 is provided with a 3 rd valve V3. The 3 rd valve V3 may be, for example, an electric ball valve. The 3 rd valve V3 may be a valve of various types such as an electric butterfly valve or a gate valve.
The cleaning apparatus 10 further includes a gas sensor (2 nd sensor) GS in the 1 st flow path 31. For detecting the gas flow, a gas sensor GS may be used, which may be, for example, a differential pressure meter or a flow sensor.
The processor 2 may control various actions of the cleaning device 10. The Processor 2 may be, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or MPU (micro Processor Unit). The processor 2 is electrically connected to the 1 st valve V1, the 2 nd valve V2, the 3 rd valve V3, the gas sensor GS, the display unit 3, and the button 4, and can perform one-way or two-way communication with these components. The processor 2 has: a beverage supply mode for supplying a beverage from the beverage maker 60; and a cleaning mode for cleaning the flow path of the beverage (details will be described later). The following operations performed by the processor 2 may be implemented, for example, by a program stored in a memory.
Referring to fig. 1, the display unit 3 may be, for example, a liquid crystal display panel. The display unit 3 may display various information (for example, an error, a cleaning time, and/or a selected mode) received from the processor 2. The button 4 may be a mechanical button, for example. The button 4 can be used, for example, for starting the washing mode.
Next, the operation of the cleaning apparatus 10 will be described.
Referring to fig. 2, in the beverage supply mode, the operating lever 54 of the dispensing head 51 is set to the "down" position. Thereby, the fluid inlet 52 and the fluid outlet 53 of the dispensing head 51 are connected through the interior of the beverage container 50. In the beverage supply mode, a container such as a glass is disposed below the spout 62 of the beverage dispenser 60.
For example, the processor 2 may maintain the beverage supply mode until the button 4 is pressed. In the present embodiment, the 1 st valve V1 is in a normally open state and the 2 nd valve V2 is in a normally closed state, and therefore the 1 st valve V1 is in an open state and the 2 nd valve V2 is in a closed state in the beverage supply mode. Thus, in the beverage supply mode, gas is supplied from the 1 st fluid outlet 21. Also, the 2 nd valve V2 may also be in an open state when the gas pressure is higher than the cleaning liquid pressure. Even at this time, gas is supplied from the 1 st fluid outlet 21. Gas is supplied from the 1 st fluid outlet 21 into the beverage container 50 through the fluid inlet 52 of the dispensing head 51, and the beverage in the beverage container 50 is pushed out to the fluid outlet 53 of the dispensing head 51. The beverage is supplied from the fluid outlet 53 to the beverage maker 60 through the 3 rd flow path 33 of the cleaning device 10. When the operator opens the plug valve 61, the beverage is supplied from the discharge port 62.
When the washing mode is implemented, the operating lever 54 of the dispensing head 51 is set to the "neutral" position before the washing mode is started. Thus, the fluid inlet 52 and the fluid outlet 53 of the dispensing head 51 are not connected through the interior of the beverage container 50. Before the start of the cleaning mode, a container B such as a water tub is disposed below the spout 62 of the beverage dispenser 60.
For example, when button 4 is pressed, processor 2 may begin the washing mode. When the cleaning mode is started, the processor 2 maintains the open state of the 1 st valve V1 and the closed state of the 2 nd valve for a predetermined period (3 rd period), and supplies gas from the 1 st fluid outlet 21. Also, the 2 nd valve V2 may also be in an open state when the gas pressure is higher than the cleaning liquid pressure. Even at this time, gas is supplied from the 1 st fluid outlet 21. When the operator opens the cock valve 61, gas flows from the 1 st fluid outlet 21 to the fluid outlet 53 via the fluid inlet 52 of the dispensing head 51 without flowing through the interior of the beverage container 50, and flows from the fluid outlet 53 to the beverage maker 60 via the 3 rd flow path 33 of the cleaning device 10. Accordingly, the gas is pushed out of the spout 62 of the beverage dispenser 60 to the beverage retained in the flow path from the dispenser head 51 to the beverage dispenser 60.
The period (period 3) may be equal to or longer than the time required for the gas to be completely pushed out of the beverage retained in the flow path from the dispenser head 51 to the beverage maker 60, and may be changed by the length and/or diameter of the flow path.
When the beverage remaining in the flow path is completely pushed out from the discharge port 62, the processor 2 closes the 1 st valve V1 and opens the 2 nd valve V2, thereby supplying the cleaning liquid from the 1 st fluid outlet 21. Also, the 1 st valve V1 may also be in an open state when the pressure of the cleaning liquid is greater than the gas pressure. Even at this time, the cleaning liquid is supplied from the 1 st fluid outlet 21. The cleaning liquid flows from the 1 st fluid outlet 21 to the fluid outlet 53 through the fluid inlet 52 of the dispenser head 51 without flowing through the beverage container 50, flows from the fluid outlet 53 to the beverage maker 60 through the 3 rd flow path 33 of the cleaning device 10, and is discharged to the container B through the spout 62.
For example, the flow time of the cleaning liquid may be adjusted according to the type of the beverage, the length and/or diameter of the flow path, and may be, for example, about 1 to 3 minutes. It should be noted that this value is merely exemplary. The cleaning liquid may be continuously supplied (hereinafter, may be referred to as "continuous cleaning") or may be intermittently supplied (hereinafter, may be referred to as "intermittent cleaning"). To implement the intermittent purge, the processor 2 may alternately repeat the 1 st state in which the 1 st valve V1 is closed and the 2 nd valve V2 is open and the 2 nd state in which the 1 st valve V1 is open and the 2 nd valve V2 is closed. In the intermittent cleaning, the cleaning liquid flows through the flow path at a higher pressure than in the continuous cleaning, and the cleaning force can be improved.
After the cleaning liquid is flowed, the processor 2 opens the 1 st valve V1 again and closes the 2 nd valve V2 for a predetermined period (4 th period), thereby supplying the gas from the 1 st fluid outlet 21. The gas flows from the 1 st fluid outlet 21 to the fluid outlet 53 via the fluid inlet 52 of the dispensing head 51, and flows from the fluid outlet 53 to the beverage maker 60 via the 3 rd flow path 33 of the cleaning device 10. Accordingly, the gas presses the cleaning liquid retained in the flow path from the dispenser head 51 to the beverage maker 60 from the spout 62 of the beverage maker 60. When the cleaning liquid accumulated in the flow path is completely pushed out from the discharge port 62, the gas is supplied from the discharge port 62.
The period (period 4) may be equal to or longer than the time required for the gas to completely push out the cleaning liquid retained in the flow path from the dispenser head 51 to the beverage maker 60, and may be changed by the length and/or diameter of the flow path. After the 4 th period elapses, the processor 2 notifies the end of the wash mode. The notification may be displayed on the display unit 3, for example, or may be presented by a sound from a speaker not shown. After the washing mode is finished, the stop cock 61 is closed, and the operating lever of the dispensing head 51 is set to the "down" position. Thereby, the beverage supply system 100 is ready to provide a beverage again.
When the operator closes the plug valve 61 before the 4 th period elapses, the cleaning liquid may remain in the flow path. In the cleaning apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, this can be detected by the gas sensor GS. Specifically, before the 4 th period elapses, the processor 2 may notify an error when the gas sensor GS switches from a gas flow detection state in which the gas flow is detected to a gas flow non-detection state in which the gas flow is not detected. The error may be displayed on the display unit 3, for example, or may be presented by a sound from a speaker not shown.
Next, the supply restriction function will be explained.
In the beverage supply mode, when the washing mode is not performed and the beverage supply mode is maintained for a certain period or more, this means that the beverage maker 60 is not washed during the period. When the beverage maker 60 is not washed for more than a certain period of time, it may not be possible to keep the beverage maker 60 clean. This may result in a reduction in the taste and/or quality of the beverage.
In the cleaning device 10 disclosed in the present invention, in the beverage supply mode, when the cleaning mode is not executed and the beverage supply mode is maintained for a predetermined period (period 1) or longer, the processor 2 closes the 3 rd valve V3. Thereby, the supply restricting function for restricting the supply of the beverage from the beverage maker 60 that is not washed in the period above the 1 st period is activated.
The period (period 1) may be equal to or longer than a period of time for which the flow path of the beverage from the dispenser head 51 to the beverage dispenser 60 can be kept clean even without cleaning, and may vary depending on the length of the flow path, the diameter of the flow path, the type of the beverage, and the like.
Whether the washing mode is not performed and the beverage supply mode is maintained for the 1 st period or more can be determined by various methods. For example, it is also possible to determine whether or not the time elapsed since the button 4 was last pressed for starting the washing mode is equal to or longer than the 1 st period. Alternatively, it may be determined whether or not the time elapsed since the last notification of the completion of the flush mode from the processor 2 is equal to or longer than the 1 st period.
To release the supply restriction function, for example, the 3 rd valve V3 may be opened by pressing the button 4 to start the washing mode.
As described above, according to the cleaning device 10 of embodiment 1, instead of being directly connected to the beverage maker 60, the dispenser head 51 is connected to the beverage maker 60 through the 3 rd flow path 33 of the cleaning device 10. Further, the 3 rd flow path 33 is provided with a 3 rd valve V3. Also, in the beverage supply mode, the 3 rd valve is closed when the washing mode is not performed and the beverage supply mode is maintained for the 1 st period or more, thereby restricting the supply of beverage from the beverage maker 60 that is not washed during the period or more than the 1 st period. Thus, it is possible to prevent the beverage from being supplied from the beverage maker 60 that is not washed for a certain period of time or more.
In addition, the cleaning apparatus 10 further includes a gas sensor GS for detecting whether or not gas flows in the 1 st flow path 31, and has a gas flow detection state in which gas flow is detected and a gas flow non-detection state in which gas flow is not detected, and in the cleaning mode, the processor 2 is configured to supply gas from the 1 st fluid outlet 21 by opening the 1 st valve V1 after the cleaning liquid is supplied, and to notify an error when the internal gas sensor GS switches from the gas flow detection state to the gas flow non-detection state during the 4 th period when gas is supplied from the 1 st fluid outlet 21. Thus, it is possible to prevent the operator from erroneously closing the cock valve 61 of the beverage maker 60 before completely removing the cleaning liquid in the flow path.
Next, a cleaning device for a beverage maker according to embodiment 2 will be described.
Fig. 3 is a schematic configuration diagram of a beverage supply system showing an internal configuration of a cleaning device of a beverage maker according to embodiment 2. Referring to fig. 3, the cleaning device 40 according to embodiment 2 is different from the cleaning device 10 according to embodiment 1 in that a beverage sensor (1 st sensor) DS is provided upstream of the 3 rd valve V3 in the 3 rd flow path 33. Since the cleaning device 40 includes the beverage sensor DS, it also has a function of preventing the cleaning liquid from being supplied to the inside of the beverage container 50 by mistake, a splash prevention function, and an expiration prevention function.
The beverage sensor DS is used to detect the presence of beverage in the 3 rd flow path 33, and has a beverage detection state in which beverage is detected and a beverage non-detection state in which beverage is not detected. The beverage sensor DS may be, for example, a light sensor (e.g., a color sensor or an infrared sensor), an electrostatic capacitance type water detection sensor. The beverage sensor DS is electrically connected to the processor 2 and can communicate with the processor 2.
Next, a function of preventing the cleaning liquid from being erroneously supplied to the inside of the beverage container 50 in the cleaning mode will be described.
As described in embodiment 1, the washing mode is started when the button 4 is pressed. In this situation, when the operator forgets to switch the operation lever 54 of the dispensing head 51 and the operation lever 54 is maintained at the "down" position (that is, when the fluid inlet 52 and the fluid outlet 53 of the dispensing head 51 are connected while passing through the inside of the beverage container 50), the gas supplied to push out the beverage staying in the flow path is supplied to the inside of the beverage container 50 through the fluid inlet 52 of the dispensing head 51, and the beverage in the beverage container 50 is continuously pushed out to the fluid outlet 53 of the dispensing head 51. At this time, the beverage continues to flow in the flow path from the dispenser head 51 to the beverage maker 60. Therefore, the beverage sensor DS disposed in the 3 rd flow path 33 is not switched to the beverage non-detection state but is maintained in the beverage detection state during the 3 rd period described in the embodiment 1. Thus, the use of the beverage sensor DS can detect that the operator has forgotten to switch the operating lever 54 of the dispensing head 51.
In the above state, when the cleaning liquid is flowed from the cleaning device 40, the fluid inlet 52 of the dispensing head 51 passes through the beverage container 50 and is connected to the fluid outlet 53, so that the cleaning liquid is supplied to the interior of the beverage container. However, in the cleaning device 40, the processor 2 does not open the 2 nd valve V2 (i.e., the cleaning liquid is not caused to flow) at this time because the beverage sensor DS can detect that the operator has forgotten to switch the operating lever 54 of the dispensing head 51. Thus, the cleaning liquid can be prevented from being supplied to the inside of the beverage container 50 by mistake. In addition, the processor 2 may notify of the error at this time. The notification may be displayed on the display unit 3, for example, or may be presented by a sound from a speaker not shown.
In the cleaning device 40, by utilizing the above-described function, it is possible to detect that the operator has erroneously switched the operating lever 54 of the dispensing head 51 to the "up" position (i.e., the position where the fluid inlet 52 and the fluid outlet 53 of the dispensing head 51 and the interior of the beverage container 50 are disconnected from each other) in the cleaning mode. Specifically, at this time, the fluid inlet 52 and the fluid outlet 53 of the dispensing head 51 and the interior of the beverage container 50 are disconnected from each other, and therefore, the gas from the 1 st fluid outlet 21 cannot flow to a position downstream of the fluid inlet 52. Therefore, the beverage stays in the flow path from the dispenser head 51 to the beverage dispenser 60. Even at this time, the beverage sensor DS disposed in the 3 rd flow path 33 does not switch to the beverage non-detection state during the 3 rd period, but maintains the beverage detection state. Therefore, the use of the beverage sensor DS can detect that the operator erroneously switches the operation lever 54 of the dispensing head 51. Even at this time, the processor 2 does not open the 2 nd valve, and can notify an error as described above.
In the cleaning apparatus 40, by utilizing the above-described function, it is possible to detect that the operator has forgotten to open the cock valve 61 in the cleaning mode. Specifically, even if gas is supplied to push out the beverage remaining in the flow path at this time, the beverage cannot flow to the outside from the spout 62, and the beverage remains in the flow path from the dispenser head 51 to the beverage dispenser 60. Even at this time, the beverage sensor DS disposed in the 3 rd flow path 33 does not switch to the beverage non-detection state during the 3 rd period, but maintains the beverage detection state. Thus, the use of the beverage sensor DS can detect that the operator has forgotten to open the stopcock 61. Even at this time, the processor 2 does not open the 2 nd valve, and can notify an error as described above.
Next, the splash prevention function will be explained.
In the beverage supply mode, when the beverage container 50 is emptied when a beverage is supplied, gas starts to flow in the flow path from the dispensing head 51 to the beverage maker 60. At this time, gas may be ejected from the spout 62 of the beverage dispenser 60, and the beverage in the container such as a glass may be splashed. If the beverage is splashed, there is a possibility that inconvenience such as dirtying around the beverage maker 60 occurs.
In the beverage supply system 200 according to the present embodiment, when the beverage container 50 is empty in the beverage supply mode, the gas starts to flow through the 3 rd flow path 33, and therefore the beverage sensor DS is switched from the beverage detection state to the beverage non-detection state. Thus, in the cleaning device 40, when the beverage sensor DS is switched from the beverage detecting state to the beverage non-detecting state in the beverage supply mode, the processor 2 closes the 3 rd valve V3, and starts the splash prevention function. This prevents the gas and the beverage from flowing. In the beverage supply system 200, even if the 1 st valve V1 is closed, when the stopcock 61 is opened, the beverage can be supplied by the pressure remaining in the beverage container 50. Even at this time, the processor 2 can activate the splash prevention function when the beverage sensor DS switches from the beverage detection state to the beverage non-detection state.
When the splash prevention function is activated, the operator disposes a container B such as a water tub below the discharge port 62. For example, when the button 4 or an additional button not shown is pressed, the splash prevention function is released, and the processor 2 opens the 3 rd valve V3. When the 3 rd valve V3 is opened, the beverage remaining in the flow path and the gas therebehind are received by the container B. After all of the beverage has been discharged from the spout 62, the operator closes the stopcock 61 and sets the operating lever 54 of the dispensing head 51 to the "up" position. Thereafter, the operator removes the dispensing head 51 from the empty beverage container 50 and attaches the dispensing head 51 to a new beverage container 50. Thereby, the replacement of the beverage container 50 is finished. When the lever 54 is set to the "down" position, the beverage supply system 200 is ready to supply a beverage.
Next, the expiration prevention function will be explained.
As described above, in the cleaning device 40 according to the present embodiment having the splash guard function, when the beverage container 50 becomes empty in the beverage supply mode (that is, when the empty beverage container 50 is replaced with a new beverage container 50 filled with beverage), the splash guard function is activated. From another point of view, when the splash prevention function is not activated and the beverage supply mode is maintained for a certain period or longer, this indicates that the beverage container 50 is not replaced with a new beverage container 50 during this period.
In the beverage supply system 200 according to the present embodiment, when the splash prevention function is not activated and the beverage supply mode is maintained for a predetermined period (period 2) or longer, the processor 2 closes the 3 rd valve, thereby activating the expiration prevention function for preventing beverage from being supplied from the beverage container 50 that has not been replaced for the period 2 or longer. This can prevent the beverage from being supplied from the beverage container 50 that has not been replaced for a long period of time.
The 2 nd period may be, for example, a period of various lengths in consideration of the quality and/or taste of the beverage, such as a period of shelf life of the beverage stored in the beverage container 50 or a period of maintaining good taste of the beverage.
In order to release the expiration prevention function, the processor 2 is caused to assume that the replacement of the keg has been completed by, for example, pressing the button 4 or an additional button not shown, and the 3 rd valve V3 is opened to restart the supply of beverage.
As described above, the cleaning apparatus 40 according to embodiment 2 can obtain the same effects as the cleaning apparatus 10 according to embodiment 1.
In addition, the cleaning device 40 according to embodiment 2 further includes a beverage sensor DS for detecting whether or not a beverage is present in the 3 rd flow path 33, and has a beverage detection state in which a beverage is detected and a beverage non-detection state in which a beverage is not detected, and in the beverage supply mode, the processor 2 is configured to close the 3 rd valve V3 when the beverage sensor DS is switched from the beverage detection state to the beverage non-detection state, thereby activating a splash prevention function for preventing gas from being ejected from the beverage dispenser 60. Thus, the cleaning device 40 can prevent the beverage from splashing when the beverage container 50 is empty.
In the cleaning device 40 according to embodiment 2, in the beverage supply mode, the processor 2 is configured to close the 3 rd valve V3 when the splash prevention function is not activated and the beverage supply mode is maintained for a predetermined period of time 2 or longer, thereby activating the expiration prevention function for preventing beverage from being supplied from the beverage container 50 that has not been replaced for the predetermined period of time 2 or longer. Thus, the cleaning device 40 can prevent the beverage from being supplied from the beverage container 50 that has not been replaced for a long time (e.g., supplying a beverage that has passed its shelf life).
In the cleaning device 40 according to embodiment 2, in the cleaning mode, the processor 2 is configured to open the 1 st valve V1 to supply gas from the 1 st fluid outlet 21, and to open the 2 nd valve V2 when the beverage sensor DS is switched from the beverage detection state to the beverage non-detection state for a predetermined 3 rd period when gas is supplied from the 1 st fluid outlet 21, thereby supplying cleaning liquid from the 1 st fluid outlet 21, and to not open the 2 nd valve V2 when the beverage sensor DS maintains the beverage detection state for the 3 rd period when gas is supplied from the 1 st fluid outlet 21. As such, in the cleaning device 40, when gas is first supplied in the cleaning mode, the 2 nd valve V2 is not opened (i.e., the cleaning liquid is not caused to flow) when the beverage sensor DS maintains the beverage detection state (i.e., when the fluid inlet 52 communicates with the fluid outlet 53 while passing through the inside of the beverage container 50 in the dispensing head 51). Therefore, the cleaning liquid can be prevented from being supplied to the inside of the beverage container 50 by mistake.
Although the embodiment of the cleaning device for the beverage maker has been described, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various modifications may be made to the above-described embodiments. Further, those skilled in the art will understand that the features included in 1 embodiment can be combined with or substituted for the features included in the other embodiments as long as no contradiction occurs.
