La mélangeuse est à écoulement libre, les produits à mélanger étant introduits dans la mélangeuse suivant des directions ou des parcours qui provoquent le mélange, sans faire appel à des moyens mécaniques animés. Elle est constituée (figures 2 et 3) par un corps 40 qui définit une chambre intérieure 41 de volume V dans laquelle aboutissent un conduit d'alimentation vertical central 42 relié à la réserve de yaourt et des conduits 43 répartis obliquement autour du conduit central 1 et reliés respectivement aux réserves des produits aromatisants, la- paroi 44 de la chambre ou des déflecteurs placés dans la chambre assurant le croisement des flux tandis que des orifices ou conduits de sortie 45, pour le mélange de la chambre, orientés obliquement, sont répartis de façon à empêcher une arrivée directe du yaourt incident ou du produit aromatisant incident dans les orifices 45.The mixer is free flowing, the products to be mixed being introduced into the mixer in directions or paths which cause the mixing, without using animated mechanical means. It is constituted (FIGS. 2 and 3) by a
De préférence, comme dans l'exemple représenté, le corps 40 comprend deux pièces de révolution 40a, 40b rapportées l'une sur l'autre et solidarisées de façon démontable, l'une de ces pièces 40a déterminant une cuvette 41 ayant un fond 41a tronconique et une ouverture 41b cylindrique, l'autre 40b de ces pièces constituant un couvercle qui est appliqué sur l'ouverture de la cuvette et qui présente une saillie centrale conique 44, coaxiale à l'ouverture 41b et occupant la partie centrale de l'ouverture sans atteindre le fond de la cuvette.Preferably, as in the example shown, the
La pièce 40a qui forme cuvette comporte un perçage d'entrée axial 42 qui débouche sur le fond de la cuvette en face de la pointe de la saillie conique 44 et trois perçages d'entrée obliques 43 répartis à 120° autour du perçage axial 42 qui débouchent sur la paroi latérale tronconique de ce fond en face de la paroi conique de la saillie centrale 44.The
La pièce 40b qui forme couvercle comporte trois perçages de sortie obliques 45 répartis à 120° sur le pourtour de la saillie conique 44, chaque perçage de sortie 45 étant sensiblement à l'opposé d'un perçage d'entrée 43.The
L'ensemble de l'installation est de préférence contenu dans un carter parallélépipédique 60 (figure 5). La capacité à yaourt 4 est située dans le haut pour être accessible depuis le dessus du carter par une entrée de remplissage 61.The entire installation is preferably contained in a parallelepipedic casing 60 (Figure 5). The
Les pompes doseuses 12-14 des produits aromatisants sont situées à proximité de la capacité 4 et le carter détermine également à proximité de cette capacité un logement accessible pour recevoir les capacités à produits aromatisants (non représentées sur la figure). Le boîtier présente une fenêtre permettant de disposer sur un plateau 62 un gobelet à remplir, sous le mélangeur 1. Le plateau 62 présente une multiplicité d'orifices de passage et il est posé sur le bac de lavage 22. Sous le bac sont situés, dans le carter, les moyens nécessaires à la réfrigération et au fonctionnement des pompes et des électro-vannes : groupe frigorifique 63, réservoir d'air comprimé 64, compresseur d'air 65, armoire électrique 66, pompe de cyclage de lavage 33 et pompe de vidage de lavage 36. Un tableau de commande 67 est situé à la hauteur désirée, par exemple au niveau du plateau 62.The dosing pumps 12-14 of the flavoring products are located near the
Le consommateur ou le responsable de l'installation, en appuyant sur des commandes appropriées, par exemple des commandes déclenchées par des pièces de monnaie, provoque le fonctionnement de l'une des pompes doseuses 12 à 14 et de la pompe 11 et donc l'envoi dans la mélangeuse d'une (ou plusieurs) dose de yaourt liquide et d'une (ou plusieurs) dose du produit aromatisant choisi. Ces doses sont automatiquement mélangées dans la mélangeuse et automatiquement évacuées dans le gobelet 2O que l'utilisateur ou le responsable a préalablement mis en place sous la mélangeuse. Les pompes et les circuits correspondants sont réglés de façon que l'admission du yaourt dans la mélangeuse se termine après la fin de l'admission du produit aromatisant.The consumer or the person responsible for the installation, by pressing appropriate commands, for example commands triggered by coins, causes the operation of one of the metering pumps 12 to 14 and of the
Des sécurités appropriées peuvent être prévues pour interdire la sortie du mélange en l'absence de gobelet, de façon en soi connue. Périodiquement, le responsable de l'installation procède au nettoyage de la capacité 4, du circuit de yaourt et du circuit des produits aromatisants. Le nettoyage comporte une ou plusieurs phases de rinçage.Appropriate safety devices can be provided to prevent the exit of the mixture in the absence of a cup, in a manner known per se. Periodically, the person responsible for the installation cleans
Ce nettoyage est assuré automatiquement par le remplissage du bac à lavage au moyen du ou des produits de rinçage et du ou des produits de nettoyage et la pulvérisation de ces produits dans la réserve 4 par l'intermédiaire de la canalisation 31. Le responsable peut,
en actionnant les pompes et les vannes, faire circuler les produits en circuit fermé ou envoyer à la vidange ce qui sort de la mélangeuse.This cleaning is carried out automatically by filling the washing tub with the rinsing product (s) and the cleaning product (s) and spraying these products into the
by activating the pumps and valves, circulate the products in a closed circuit or send to the drain what comes out of the mixer.
Le processus de lavage est choisi en fonction des produits et peut comprendre l'introduction dans le bac de produits acides ou basiques.The washing process is chosen according to the products and may include the introduction into the tank of acidic or basic products.
Après lavage, un rinçage général est assuré par l'introduction d'eau dans le bac à lavage (vanne 27).After washing, a general rinsing is ensured by the introduction of water into the washing tub (valve 27).
Selon un aspect de l'invention, on a déterminé que, pour obtenir un bon mélange de yaourt et du produit aromatisant, il était préférable qué le volume interne V de la mélangeuse soit inférieur à 10% du volume de la dose à distribuer, ou encore mieux compris entre 3% et 8% de ce volume. En outre, pour assurer une bonne élimination du produit aromatisant de la mélangeuse, on règle la durée de passage de ce produit au 2/3 environ de la durée de passage du yaourt dans le mélangeur.According to one aspect of the invention, it has been determined that, to obtain a good mixture of yogurt and the flavoring product, it was preferable that the internal volume V of the mixer be less than 10% of the volume of the dose to be dispensed, or even better between 3% and 8% of this volume. In addition, to ensure good elimination of the flavoring product from the mixer, the duration of passage of this product is adjusted to approximately 2/3 of the duration of passage of the yogurt through the mixer.
Par exemple, pour distribuer une dose de 250 ml environ, on utilise une mélangeuse dont le volume V est de 12 à 15 ml environ.For example, to dispense a dose of approximately 250 ml, a mixer whose volume V is approximately 12 to 15 ml is used.
Une dose de 250 ml comprend 244 ml de yaourt et 6 ml de produit aromatisant. Le temps de dosage total est de l'ordre de 3 secondes et celui du produit aromatisant est de l'ordre de 2 secondes.A 250 ml dose includes 244 ml of yogurt and 6 ml of flavoring product. The total dosing time is around 3 seconds and that of the flavoring product is around 2 seconds.
De préférence, on règle la viscosité du produit aromatisant pour qu'elle soit inférieure à 1500 centipoises (viscosité déterminée à 4°C avec un viscosimètre Brookfield RVT vitesse 10, module 1).Preferably, the viscosity of the flavoring product is adjusted so that it is less than 1500 centipoise (viscosity determined at 4 ° C. with a
