In addition, when for a certain reason, the Cold water supply amount of leading to the Cold water supply road of flowmeter 39 is that predetermined value is when above, the rotation of flowmeter 39 is accelerated, its swing circle shortens, the increase frequency of the pulse signal of generation, and the pulse number of generation is more than predetermined value.At this moment, the frequency dividing ratio of recurrence interval calculating part 94, the signal of exporting because of this flowmeter 39 changes.As a result, the frequency-dividing clock pulse of Duoing than the above-mentioned 50Hz frequency-dividing clock pulse in the normal condition is input to driving circuit 95, and driving circuit 95 is output drive signal in view of the above, makes step motor 90 each step rotation 7.5 degree.That is, the dilution water for having increased also can keep 5 times dilution ratio, and the cycle of above-mentioned drive signal shortens (frequency gets higher), and step motor 90 quickens rotation.
Its rotation makes disk 43 rotation by reducing gear, moves by the rotation of roller 44, and to managing 41 push successively and move toward the below, the syrup preparations in the pipe 41 are fed in the cup 5.Supplied to the syrup preparation in the cup 5, passed through the dilution water that pipeline 28 is supplied with, with the dilution ratio diluted mixture of 5 times of setting values.
Above, the situation with the syrup preparation of cold water dilution BIB 40 has been described.During with the syrup preparation of the carbonated water of pipeline 37 dilution BIB 40 also is same, as long as according to the signal of flowmeter 29, get final product with the above-mentioned frequency dividing ratio of similarly regulating.
Also can make the device that input circuit 91 is not set.At this moment, when beverage feeder is worked, by the connection of configuration switch or the connection of power supply, set the dilution ratio of regulation,, utilize the cycle of the signal of flowmeter 29,39 outputs with similarly above-mentioned, the frequency dividing ratio of decision recurrence interval calculating part 94, control syrup preparation flow is even the dilution water fluctuations in discharge also can keep the dilution ratio of this regulation.
As mentioned above, drink-mixing device of the present invention utilizes the beverage supplying action that the raw material beverage of supplying with from accepting container is mixed with dilution water, is provided with the mechanism of step motor, flowmeter and change raw material beverage supplying amount; Above-mentioned step motor drives the raw material supplying pump of base feed beverage; The signal that above-mentioned flowmeter changed according to the dilution water throughput generation cycle; The mechanism of above-mentioned change raw material beverage supplying amount changes the drive signal cycle of step motor according to the dilution water throughput, thereby changes the raw material beverage supplying amount of raw material supplying pump; Even the dilution water throughput changes, also can provide the beverage of required dilute concentration.
In the foregoing description, set the dilution ratio set mechanism of dilution ratio, can adopt numerical key, but be not limited thereto, for example, also the dilution ratio setting key can be set, this setting key is used to specify 4.5 times, 5 times, 5.5 times, 6 times ... Deng predetermined dilution ratio.
In the above embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned mechanism that changes the drive signal cycle of CD-ROM drive motor (the raw material supplying pump of this drive motor base feed beverage) according to the dilution water throughput, under the situation that is provided with input circuit 91, be the signal that adopts according to flowmeter 29,39 outputs, change is by the method for the value of input circuit 91 settings.As other method, also can be signal period according to flowmeter 29,39 outputs, change is by the mode of the value of input circuit 91 settings.
This a series of control of the present invention, in order to control suitably, adopt the control of microcomputer mode, according to the corresponding data of the input of circuit 91 and with corresponding data of signal from flowmeter 29,39 outputs, calculate the frequency dividing ratio of recurrence interval calculating part 94, by the frequency signal of this frequency dividing ratio frequency division, the rotation number of the step motor 90 of controlling and driving raw material supplying pump.
The concrete example of this method is that when input circuit 91 had been set 5 times dilution ratio, benchmark syrup preparation flow G and the dilution water flow K corresponding with it were transfused to.At this state, if be K from the dilution water flow of flowmeter 29 or 39, at this moment making dilution ratio is that 5 syrup preparation flow is G, so, be output to step motor 90 with respect to the drive signal in cycle of G.If the dilution water flow is reduced to K-1, then with respect to this K-1, calculating and making dilution ratio is 5 syrup preparation flow G-1, and the drive signal with respect to the frequency of this G-1 outputs to step motor 90.That is, at this moment, in the drive signal cycle elongated (frequencies go lower), step motor 90 becomes low speed, by supplying with and the corresponding syrup preparation of dilution water flow, can supply with the beverage of appropriate concentration.Setting 4 times, 6 times ... when the dilution ratio also with above-mentioned same.When the dilution water flow has increased,,, can supply with the appropriate beverage of concentration by supplying with and the corresponding syrup preparation of dilution water flow also by this action.
Along with the beginning of beverage action, when dilution water and raw material beverage are supplied to simultaneously, when perhaps the raw material beverage begins slightly late some than the supply of dilution water, in the starting point of beverage supplying action, at the recurrence interval calculating part, owing to the signal that does not have from flowmeter, so, can not determine frequency dividing ratio.In order to address this problem, can adopt following manner, promptly, frequency dividing ratio is stored in the storer in advance during last time beverage supplying, and the starting point in the beverage supplying action begins with this frequency dividing ratio last time, when the signal of flowmeter has been imported, use this signal deciding frequency dividing ratio again.
As the alternate manner that addresses the above problem, also can use following manner.Promptly, make the supply of dilution water begin to begin more a little earlier than the supply of raw material beverage, for example early 0.2 second, like this, between this 0.2 second, can be according to the signal input of flowmeter, calculate the decision frequency dividing ratio, so, can from the beverage supplying action begin light, according to the signal input of flowmeter, calculate the decision frequency dividing ratio.
In the foregoing invention,,, can stop the supply of beverage when the change of dilution water reaches predetermined value when above with the quantity delivered that beverage raw material is regulated in the change of the flow of dilution water accordingly, the variation of control dilute concentration.As an example of this method, can the signalization control gear, promptly, input is from the signal (rotation number of frequency, flowmeter etc.) of flowmeter 29,39, with reference value relatively, if signal more than reference value or when surpassing, this signal controlling mechanism stops the supply of beverage.At this moment, when above-mentioned manual supply type, even switch motion is supplied with bar and also do not supplied with action.In addition, when above-mentioned automatic sale formula, as long as refusal is accepted the insertion of currency, the supply of executive button 3 action does not get final product.
Among the present invention, it is rotation change (variation of this flowmeter is produced by the variation of dilution water throughput) by flowmeter, change the drive signal cycle of the step motor of raw material supplying pump, even dilution water quantitative changeization, also base feed beverage rightly can provide the beverage feeder of stay-in-grade post hybrid mode.
In addition, as shown in Figure 5, in can supplying with a beverage dispenser of some kinds of beverages, even when opening several beverage supplying valves simultaneously and cause the dilution water flow to reduce, also can supply with and the corresponding raw material beverage of the dilution water yield that has reduced.Thereby also can solve the beverage quality that causes because of dilution water supply pump performance and reduce problem.Therefore, even high capacity pump (when this high capacity pump is opened some beverage supplying valves at the same time, can guarantee dilution water quantity delivered equal when opening a beverage supplying valve) is not set, also can supply with required beverage.
In addition, be used for the volume control device of dilution water flow control, also do not require high precision, so long as be provided with the structure of throttle orifice, or the such flow packing ring of the foregoing description gets final product.
