Detailed Description

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a beer filling apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1, the beer filling apparatus 100 of the present embodiment is, for example, a beer filling apparatus, and a user can place a container 50 (such as a wine bottle or a wine glass, fig. 1 shows a wine bottle) in a filling area 100a of the beer filling apparatus 100 to fill beer. In other embodiments, the container 50 may be a wine glass, and the beer filling apparatus 100 fills the wine glass, and the filled wine glass and beer therein may be provided directly to the consumer for consumption.

Fig. 2A and 2B are operation flow charts of a part of the components of the beer filling apparatus of fig. 1. Referring to fig. 2A, the beer filling apparatus 100 of the present embodiment includes a lifting unit 110, a covering structure 170 and an injecting pipe 120, wherein one end of the injecting pipe 120 is connected to the lifting unit 110, and the lifting unit 110 is adapted to be lowered from the state shown in fig. 2A to the state shown in fig. 2B relative to the container 50 to extend the injecting pipe into the container 50 and form a closed space 190 between the covering structure 170 and the container 50, so as to facilitate the filling operation.

In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the cover structure 170 is larger than the caliber of the opening of the container 50, such that the cover structure 170 is adapted to cover the opening of the container 50. The exhaust tube 150 extends into the cover structure 170 and communicates with the container 50.

In the state shown in fig. 2B, the injection pipe 120 extends to the bottom of the container 50, for example. Therefore, in the process of filling the beer into the container 50, the beer cannot impact the bottom of the container 50 from a high position downwards, the foam generated by the beer is reduced, the content of the beer is released, and the flavor of the beer is prevented from being influenced by the impact. In other embodiments, the filling pipe 120 may also extend to the inner side of the container 50, allowing the beer to flow down the inner side of the container 50, while also avoiding the impact.

More specifically, in the state shown in fig. 2B, the beer filling apparatus 100 of the present embodiment includes a gas delivery pipe 130 and a beer delivery pipe 140. The gas delivery pipe 130 and the beer delivery pipe 140 are connected to the injection pipe 120. Gas delivery line 130 is adapted to deliver a gas (e.g., carbon dioxide or other inert gas) to injection line 120, inject the gas into capsule 190 through injection line 120, and allow capsule 190 to accumulate gas pressure until P1. The beer delivery pipe 140 is adapted to deliver beer (e.g., beer) at a pressure P2, and the gas delivery pipe 130 closes the input gas to the injection pipe 120 and opens the beer delivery pipe 140 to prepare for the input of beer to the injection pipe 120 while the enclosed space gas pressure P1 corresponds to the beer delivery pressure P2.

Further, the beer filling apparatus 100 of the present embodiment further includes an exhaust pipe 150 and an exhaust control valve 160. The exhaust pipe 150 is connected to the sealed space 190, and the exhaust control valve 160 is connected to the exhaust pipe 150. When part of the gas in the sealed space 190 is removed to the outside of the container through the exhaust pipe at an exhaust speed, beer is filled into the sealed space 190 to maintain the pressure accumulation environment of the sealed space 190. In other words, in the process of filling the sealed space 190 with beer, the pressure P2 of the beer delivery pipe 140 is equal to the pressure P1 of the sealed space 190 and is in a balanced state.

The exhaust control valve 160 is connected to the exhaust pipe 150 and adapted to adjust the exhaust speed of the sealed space 190 and control the speed of filling beer into the sealed space 190, thereby reducing the foam generated by beer to release the content of beer, so that the original rich content of the brewed beer is retained and not easy to lose, and the aroma and taste are retained, thereby ensuring the high-quality brewed beer for consumers. Further, the beer filling is performed by controlling the exhaust rate by the exhaust control valve 160 as described above, so that the operator can perform the filling operation at a uniform filling rate, and further stably control the release of the content in the beer from the beer. Thus, the beer filling apparatus 100 can be applied to a beer producing side as well as a beer selling side, and can be directly filled with beer for drinking by field personnel or consumers.

In this embodiment, the beer filling apparatus 100 further includes a straw 180 connected to the filling pipe 120. After the filling operation is completed, the residual beer in the filling pipe 120 can be sucked out by the suction pipe 180 to prevent the residual beer from dripping from the filling pipe 120, and the residual beer is sprayed into the container during the subsequent gas filling process to generate excessive foam and mist. In addition, after the filling pipe 120 is cleaned by the cleaning liquid, the back suction pipe 180 can be used to suck out the cleaning liquid in the filling pipe 120, so as to prevent the beer to be filled from being polluted.

Fig. 3A and 3B are operation flow charts of a part of components of a beer filling apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment of fig. 3A and 3B differs from the embodiment of fig. 2A and 2B in that the container 50 ' of this embodiment is a wine glass rather than a wine bottle, and the filling tube 120 ' extends to the side of the container 50 '.

To sum up, the beer filling equipment of the utility model can form a pressure-storing closed space by the airtight inflation and pressurization of the opening of the container. The exhaust pipe is connected to the closed space. The gas in the closed space is suitable for being moved to the outside of the container through the exhaust pipe at an exhaust speed, and beer filling is injected into the closed space to maintain the pressure accumulation environment of the closed space. In the process of filling the beer into the closed space, the beer conveying pressure is equivalent to the gas pressure in the closed space and is in a balanced state, so that the foam generated by the beer is reduced, the content of the beer is released, the original rich content of the refined beer is reserved and is not easy to lose, the aroma and the taste are reserved, and the flavor of the refined beer is maintained.

In addition, the beer can be filled by controlling the exhaust speed through the exhaust control valve, so that the operator can perform filling operation at a uniform filling speed, and further stably control and reduce the release of the content in the beer from the beer. Thus, the beer filling apparatus 100 can be applied to a beer producing side as well as a beer selling side, and can be directly filled with beer for drinking by field personnel or consumers.

Furthermore, after the filling operation is completed, the residual beer in the filling pipe can be sucked out by using a suction pipe so as to prevent the residual beer from dripping out of the filling pipe, and the residual beer is sprayed into the container to generate redundant foam and mist in the subsequent gas filling process. In addition, after the injection pipe is cleaned by the cleaning liquid, the cleaning liquid in the injection pipe can be sucked out by the suction pipe, so that the beer to be filled is prevented from being polluted.
