Description

The The invention relates to a tap fitting for flowing Media with a tap, which z to the compensator valve. B. a beer barrel can be connected.

Such a tap fitting is z. B. by DE 10 2006 027 627 B3 known. However, this tap must after use, z. B. after emptying a barrel of a cleaning.

Of the Invention is based on the object, an easily manageable, inexpensive to operate, for the professional Use suitable tap fitting to propose after use no longer needs to be cleaned, but to be sure should that the leading media Parts can not be used a second time.

to Solution of the problem is proposed a tap fitting, with a tap, which is held by a tap head, one taken from the tap head, designed as a hollow mandrel, a valve and a disposable disposable tap, with the tap handle the tap and cooperates with a Zapfbuchsenadapter, which plugged into a bunghole and can be latched and which with the receives the dispensing head equipped with a disposable tap.

By The Zapfbuchsenadapter allows the tap head clean and Professionally connect with the barrel. As a medium leader Part is only the disposable tap provided, the z. B. made of plastic can be disposed of after use. To the tap fitting being able to operate professionally, this one has a stable, Reusable tap head with tap handle on, with the tap handle on a arranged in a disposable tap valve, which also after Use can be disposed of.

Around a professional and clean connection of the tap fitting z. B. to ensure a barrel, it is proposed that the socket adapter has a connection socket with a tapered connection pipe and a rotatably held on the socket guide bushing has, that the connecting pipe at least one opening for at least one locking element has that guide bushing a bayonet guide for receiving guide pins of the dispensing head and that in the socket an annular groove is provided, the one from an eccentric position to the connection socket in a centric position to the connector movable locking ring receives. The lock ring ensures that one already once used disposable tap never a second time completely in the Zapfbuchsenadapter is insertable.

If the dispensing head consists of a partially slotted sleeve, which is closed on one side and has the tap handle and into which can be inserted from the other side of the disposable tap Changing the disposable tap can be done easily. Has the slotted sleeve on its outside at least a guide pin, so the tap head over the bayonet guide z. B. by rotation of the guide bush without problems in its final position in the Zapfbuchsadapter be introduced.

From Advantage is that the disposable tapper at one end of its hollow mandrel having the valve and the spout and that the hollow mandrel at the other end the disposable tap a sealing ring for sealing in Kompensatorventil and to the valve end axially spaced a lift gate to Lifting the at least one locking element and to continue having axially spaced Zentrierna sen, which the locking ring so able to raise the tap head to the connecting pipe in the Zapfbuchsenadapter is insertable, wherein the locking lugs Shear when inserting into the connection pipe and break off.

The The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a drawing. It shows

1 the sectional view of the tap fitting according to the invention in the disassembled state; and

2 the sectional view of the dispensing tap according to the invention in partially assembled, by 90 ° opposite 1 turned state.

1 shows the tap fitting according to the invention 1 consisting of a pin bushing adapter 2 and a tap head 3 into a disposable tap 4 is inserted. The tap head 3 has a tap handle 5 on and consists of a slotted sleeve 6 where the slot 7 this serves the spout 8th when inserting the disposable tap 4 (in 1 from left to right) into the tap head 3 to be able to record. The disposable tap 4 has a valve 9 , which with the Zapfgriff 5 interacts and forms the tap. At the left end of the disposable tap 4 this has a sealing ring 10 on, which ultimately serves the disposable tap 4 close to the compensator valve of a bung barrel. Furthermore, the disposable tapper 4 a lift gate 11 on, which ultimately serves as the locking elements 12 serving balls in unillustrated undercuts depress in the bunghole detent. Furthermore, the disposable tapper 4 Zentrierungsnasen 13 on.

The socket adapter 2 consists of a connection socket 14 located in the front end to the connection pipe 15 tapers, and in which the locking elements 12 are included. In the connection socket 14 is an annular groove 16 before seen which a locking ring 17 takes in the 1 is shown eccentrically arranged. The connection socket 14 is from a guide bush 18 Surrounded on the connection socket 14 over a ball bearing 19 is held rotatably. The guide bush 18 may have on its surface an attack for a tool and / or knurled so that the guide bushing 18 on the connection socket 13 can be rotated accordingly. The guide bush 18 has bayonet guides 20 on which for receiving guide pin 21 (please refer 2 ) serves.

The tap fitting 1 is assembled as follows:
First, the disposable tapper 4 in the tap head 3 pushed in until the valve 9 with the tap handle 5 is in operative connection and thus forms a tap. Subsequently, the Zapfbuchsenadapter 2 used in a not shown bunghole of a barrel. Now, the tap head 3 with the disposable tap 4 in the socket adapter 2 inserted. The lift scenery shifts 11 the trained as balls locking elements 12 so outward that the pin bushing adapter 2 is held in the bunghole. The centering noses 13 cause the locking ring 17 from the in 1 shown eccentric position in the in 2 shown centric position is moved. In the 2 illustrated guide pin 21 on the tap head 3 are attached when inserting the tap head 3 in the socket adapter 2 in the introductory part of the bayonet guide 20 introduced to the stop. This position is in 2 shown.

Will now be the guide bush 18 opposite the connection socket 14 twisted, so are the guide pin 21 guided in the bayonet guide, causing the tap head 3 with the disposable tap 4 in the axial direction further into the Zapfbuchsenadapter 2 penetrates and the left end of the disposable tap 4 from the socket adapter 2 out into the compensator valve, not shown penetrates. During the rotary movement of the guide bush 18 and the associated axial displacement of the tap head 3 push the centering noses 13 , which exceed the inner diameter of the connecting pipe 15 protrude, against the connecting pipe 15 and are sheared off there.

The sheared Zentrierungsnasen the tap head after emptying the barrel and removing it from the Zapfbuchsenadapter 2 can not be used again because without the centering lugs 13 the locking ring 17 can not be pushed from the eccentric position to the centric position. The left end of the tap head 3 when inserting the tap head 3 with a disposable tap 4 without centering noses 13 against the lock ring 17 and can not be pushed further, ie the guide bush 18 can not be twisted. The disposable tap 4 thus does not reach the compensator valve of the barrel, not shown.

In pushed-in position of the tap head 3 in the socket adapter 2 serves a Kompensatorverstellhebel 22 in addition, the one-way tap that has already penetrated into the compensator valve 4 to be positioned in its axial direction so that the compensator valve has an optimal opening position, so that z. B. a possible foam-free pin a beer is possible.
