Describe other characteristic and feature in detail now with reference to accompanying drawing.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram according to the system of first embodiment of the present invention;
Fig. 2 is the schematic diagram according to the system of second embodiment of the present invention; And
Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram according to the system of the 3rd embodiment of the present invention.
The specific embodiment
At first referring to Fig. 1, system according to the present invention has: the dismountable and storage bin 10 of the water that is used for not heating of can again, and much smaller distribution box 12.Usually, storage bin 10 can hold about 1.7 liters water, and distribution box 12 can hold about 700 milliliters.Carrier pipe 14 1 ends are communicated with the accent container for drink 16 of disposable accent beverage machine, and its end opposite is located to be communicated with distribution box 12 at intermediate altitude " L ", and this intermediate altitude becomes upper and lower separation 12a, 12b with the internal separation of distribution box.The volume of last separation 12a with equate through water volume metering, that in brew cycle, will flow to the hot water of transferring container for drink.
Transferring container for drink 16 is United States Patent (USP)s 6,079 for example, the type described in 315, and the content of this document is hereby expressly incorporated by reference.Transfer container for drink to be suitable for admitting the cartridge filter 18 that contains dry solubilized drink material, and cartridge filter is inserted in import and outlet probe 20,22.Inlet probe is connected in carrier pipe 14 and can be used to soaks through the hot water of the metering drink material with drying from the water yield of last separation 12a.The outlet probe is that the beverage that modulates that is used for being generated imports downwards among cup 24 grades.Perhaps, for containment system, transfer container for drink to comprise and be used for the fixing device on the throne of container, its import and outlet respectively can be in the inlet side and the outlet side operations of container.The water that enters from import or all imports with the drink material dissolving, thereby is made beverage by the inlet side of filter medium, and beverage flow goes out the outlet side of filter medium and subsequently through outlet or all outlets.
Ventilation valve 26 is connected in separation 12a and is connected in storage bin 10 by ventilation duct 28.Can operate air pump 30 so that compressed air is flowed to separation 12a by air hose 32.
Heater 34 work is contained in water among the lower header separation 12b with heating.Water pump 36 is used for supplementing water is pumped into from storage bin 10 by supply pipe 38 the following separation 12b of distribution box 12.Check-valves 40 can flow out fluid from storage bin 10 but can not reflux.Check-valves 41 between water pump 36 and the distribution box 12 prevents that fluid is from distribution box 12 flow back into storage bins 10.
For will be in the following tangible reason that becomes, the flow capacity of ventilation duct 28 be preferably little than supply pipe 38.
The key position that all sensors are placed in the system is sentenced the monitoring operational circumstances and produced representational control signal.These sensors comprise: the temperature sensor 42 that produces the control signal 44 of representing the water temperature among the lower header separation 12b; The pressure of the water pump conveyor side by measuring supply pipe 38 produces the pressure sensor 46 of the control signal 48 of representing the pressure in the distribution box 12; If the water temperature in the storage bin 10 drops to the level sensor 50 that just produces control signal 52 below the minimum of a value of preliminary election; And produce expression and transfer container for drink to be mounted with tube or container and the positioning indicator 54 that can use and can begin the control signal 56 of brew cycle.
Controller 58 is started by above-described control signal.Controller provides a status signal 64 to control panel 62, and whether and when the expression system is ready for modulation.Controller can be worked in response to the modulation signal 60 that is produced on control panel, with this system of operation in the brew cycle process.
In typical brew cycle process, controller 58 will be distinguished processing signals 66,68,70 and 72, thereby operate ventilation valve 26, air pump 30, water pump 36 and heater 34 with following step:
(i) open ventilation valve 26;
(ii) start water pump 36 and be pumped into the following separation 12b of distribution box 12 from storage bin 10, thereby the water that will heat is upwards replaced the last separation 12a from following separation 12b with the supplementing water that will not heat;
(iii) connect heater 34 and be contained in down water among the separation 12b with heating;
(iv) when last separation 12a fills with, water pump 36 cuts out, and from rising because of water is imported into less ventilation duct 28 pressure in the signal 48 expression distribution boxes 12 of pressure sensor 46;
(v) close ventilation valve 26;
(vi) start air pump 30 compressed air delivery being given upper water box separation 12a, transfer in the container for drink 16 so that the drink material in the cartridge filter 18 (perhaps being container in containment system) is soaked thereby hot water replaced from here.Flow in the process of transferring container for drink at Jiang Shui, pressure sensor 46 is with the pressure that rises in the sensing distribution box 12, and its control signal 48 will be passed through pipeline 14 pressure drop of record when transferring the container for drink effusion in separation 12a emptying and air in final cleaning process; And
(vii) after the delay of program setting, close air pump 30 to adapt to above-mentioned cleaning.
When last separation 12a emptying, can generate modulation signal 60 before at stage (i).Then system will from the stage (i) to (vii) the circulation.(iv) locate in the ending phase that stops water pump, can admit and be limited in the ventilation duct 28 by closing the water that volume any that ventilation valve 26 will exceed separation 12a flow to distribution box 12.These unnecessary water can not flow back to distribution box 12, till ventilation valve 26 is opened once more, therefore just can subtend not transfer the precision of container for drink conveying to have a negative impact yet.
Perhaps, when the last separation 12a of distribution box 12 has been full of when being heated to selected refining temperature, can the stage (iv) and (generate modulation signal 60 v).System will (v) be recycled to and (vii), be recycled to (iv) from the stage (i) again from the stage.This alternative makes to generate modulation signal and begin water flowed to transfers the time shared between the container for drink minimum.Yet next brew cycle must postpone again distribution box 12 to be full of the required time of supplementing water after finishing brew cycle.
In another replacement scheme, when because the time ratio of pump working that the separation 12a of distribution box 12 is full of the required time fully is short and when causing that upper water box separation 12a just partly is filled to level height L, controller 58 will the stage (iv) in the work of interruption water pump 36.In 8 ounces normal full capacity course of conveying for example, controller 58 records, storage and on average be full of the required time of separation 12a.Just can select the water yield of part subsequently by modulation signal 60.After the water yield of selecting good part, controller 58 will adjust the running time of water pump 36 in stage process (iv) with according to the time but not the pressure that pressure sensor 46 is monitored raise and transmit required capacity.Like this, for instance, by regularly carrying 75% of 8 ounces of required average operating times of full capacity just can carry 6 ounces capacity on water pump 36 for only moving.By the capacity that can carry other running time similarly of suitably regulating water pump 36.In beginning during brew cycle, modulation signal start once more water pump with the stage of finishing (iv) and continue (v) to proceed to and (vii) and from the stage (i) proceed to stage another time interruption (iv) from the stage.For this replacement scheme, continuous brew cycle has postponed partly to be full of the required time of separation 12a, and is full of the required time of separation 12a fully to transferring container for drink to send time delay shared between the water producing modulation signal and beginning.
As to the stage (iv) in to the replacement scheme of the interruption of water pump 36, the level height L ' that temperature sensor 43 is placed in the distribution box 12 can be located.When the water that heats that is replaced up from lower header separation 12b reaches height L ', sensor 43 will send control signal 45.If when modulation signal 60 selects to be arranged on the partial volume that height L ' locates, controller 58 will be reacted to control signal 45 by stop water pump 36 in stage process (iv).
Except as shown in the supply pipe 38 the placement force sensor 46, also this sensor can be placed carrier pipe 14, ventilation duct 28, air hose 32 or distribution box 12.These location can provide the signal of representing the pressure in the distribution box 12, are similar to shown in Fig. 1.
Except adopting expression pressure to rise, can also adopt sensor 74 generates water in the expression ventilation duct 28 signal 76 with the ending phase signal 48 (iv) from pressure sensor 46.Sensor 74 can be the type in response to the temperature rising of the water that enters ventilation duct from separation 21a, and perhaps it can be in response to the current in the ventilation duct.Can use the temperature-sensing element such as the thermocouple electro-hot regulator to monitor the hot water that level height is rising.Can be used for also monitoring that the water yield increases in the ventilation duct 28 such as reed switch, flow sensor, in response to the sensor of the electric conductivity of water or the height other highly sensing apparatus or flow measurement device.
Second embodiment according to the present invention is shown in Figure 2.The assembly identical with first embodiment represented with same label in second embodiment.
In second embodiment, because the sensing resistor 78 of connecting with the power supply of air pump 30 has been arranged, with 46 cancellations of the pressure sensor in first embodiment, air pump 30 is driven by dc motor.Pressure drop on the sensing resistor 78 directly is directly proportional with the electric current of air pump, and will indicate the power consumption increase, the higher or acting amount increase of this expression load.Control signal 80 passes to controller 58 with the variation of power consumption.
In response to modulation signal 60, the controller 58 in the system of Fig. 2 starts working to cut out ventilation valve 26 and to operate water pump 36 and air pump 30 simultaneously.When with warmed-up water when separation 12b replaces the separation 12a, air is displaced from separation 12a.The air of being replaced is discharged by ventilation duct 28 together with the air that is advanced separation by air pump 30 pumpings.Air reduces the live load on the air pump by the discharge of ventilation duct 28, makes it and can work under relatively low level of power consumption.Yet after separation 12a finally filled with water, the power consumption of air pump rose to the second high level, and this is by ventilation duct 28 water to be discharged required acting amount increase in contrast to air to cause.In response to the control signal 80 of rising of the level of power consumption of this rising of expression, controller cuts out ventilation valve 26 and stops water pump 36.At this moment, the continuous operation of air pump 30 makes air that the water among the separation 12a is replaced in the accent container for drink 16 by carrier pipe 14.
When separation 12a emptying and air when carrier pipe 14 is discharged by transferring container for drink 16 and the tube that is punctured or container, the minimizing of the acting amount of required pumped air will cause the decline of the pressure drop in the sensing resistor 78.Controller 58 voltage change that this is unexpected is understood as the process of dispensing water and finishes, and will keep air pump 30 to work one short period again, and for example about 3 seconds, thus the cleaning of the water in the induction system is clean.
Except sensing resistor 78 ' was series at the power supply of water pump 36, the 3rd embodiment shown in Figure 3 was similar to embodiment shown in Figure 2.The pressure drop of sensing resistor 78 ' still directly is directly proportional with the electric current of water pump, and the increase of the last separation 12a that will indicate distribution box 12 power consumption when being full of water and water and being pushed in the ventilation duct 28.Control signal 80 ' sends the variation of the power consumption of water pump to controller 58.
Except the stage (iv) in water pump 36 starting, the brew cycle of the 3rd embodiment is identical with first embodiment in response to being illustrated in the control signal 80 ' that pump power consumption is risen when being full of water among the upper water box separation 12a.
After the description more than having read, those persons skilled in the art can know that by stopping or cancelling heater 34 and temperature sensor 42 simply, system of the present invention also can be used for carrying the not water of heating.
