Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dispenser for beverages with a plurality of liquid portioners, to which bottles or other beverage containers or feeder lines for pressurized beverages can be fastened with a neck part or outlet opening, which is closed by a connecting part of the portioner, and which each have a measuring vessel which has a measuring vessel Shut-off elements which can be actuated by a plunger or the like can alternately be connected to an inlet and an outlet provided in the connecting part, the liquid portioners being able to be blocked by means of electromechanical locking devices, having switches for emitting signals indicating their actuation to a center, and having at least one identification device with the center for actuating or unlocking devices designed as keys or other carriers of identification features for at least one main switch for joint, group-wise or individual activation the locking devices is connected.
  • Dispensing devices of this type make it possible for the operating personnel in restaurants etc. to remove the beverages from the respective portioners themselves, the respective operator using the identification features of the key or the like - identification devices in the manner of credit cards with mechanical, electrical or magnetic can also be used readable identification features are used - identified and thereby the removal of a drink from a portioner via the acknowledgment signal in the control center, which is usually equipped with a microcomputer and corresponding memories, in which the storage space allocated to the respective operator is registered. The registration can be called up on a display or printed out.
  • dispensing devices in which only individual locking devices, which are assigned to a single price group of beverages, can be actuated by portioners via the main switch, so that other switch positions of the common main switch must be selected for drinks of other price groups and the other price group can also be determined in the central office.
  • the unlocking devices are jointly activated and either the switches serving to deliver the acknowledgment signals are connected to inputs of the control center assigned to different price groups, or the switches are set up to deliver various signals and can be marked on the bottle with the aid of a marking attached to the bottle cap the respective price group can be set so that here, too, registration according to price groups and proper total billing in the head office is possible.
  • Ventilation devices are provided for practically all portioners that can be connected to bottles for the measuring vessel, in order to accelerate and equalize the flow of the liquid when a portion is removed and, furthermore, when refilling the measuring vessel of the portioner after removal Replace bottle flowing liquid with air from the scoop.
  • dispensing devices of the type mentioned at the outset, separate bottle closures are provided which allow the bottle to be placed on the portioner with its neck pointing downward and only release liquid access to the measuring vessel in the coupled position.
  • the electromechanical locking device which usually consists of a locking bar for the portioner and an electromagnet withdrawing this bar when it is switched on, into a common housing with the measuring vessel, this housing also accommodating the actuating devices for the switch and, if appropriate the indicator of activation of the locking device carries in the form of lights.
  • the housing can only be opened by the service company of the delivery company, but not by the restaurant owner himself. It is therefore necessary to carry out the occasional cleaning of the portioners in the assembly position on the support frame of the dispenser.
  • the respective bottles have to be removed, the portions of beverage present in the measuring vessels have to be drained off, and then the measuring vessels have to be cleaned with detergents and detergents, and then rinsed with water, by repeatedly actuating the portioners.
  • the permanent activation of the electromagnets also leads to considerable heat development, so that at least the beverage pores located in the measuring vessels ions are unnecessarily heated to reduce the quality and the effect of any cooling devices for the drinks is eliminated.
  • Another fundamental disadvantage of switching the magnets on and off via the main switch and the separate switch actuation on the portioner for the delivery of the acknowledgment signal is that malfunctions and incorrect registrations are possible as well as unauthorized beverage removal without registration is made easier with the appropriate expertise or skill . If, for example, the actuating plunger does not return fully to the rest position because of a weak return spring or because of sticking, it can happen that the switch provided on the portioner remains closed.
  • portioning tappet into the removal position after removing the bottle with the aid of a thin object which is inserted from the bottle side, so that the portion of liquid still contained in the measuring vessel is poured out without registration.
  • a small number of beverages are accommodated in storage containers, from which lines lead to one or two dispensing points, with a metering device controlled by a timer being provided in each line.
  • the key unlocks a number of beverage selection buttons that the waiter actuates individually, which also enables the dosage to be carried out via the timer.
  • the drink price is displayed and registered in a counter assigned to the respective lock. Because of the long cable routing there is a reduction in quality and the problem of keeping it clean. The dosage is inaccurate, especially with small portions of drink.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a dispensing device of the type mentioned, which has a high level of operational reliability, can be provided with sufficiently strong electromechanical locking devices, in which an unnecessary power consumption is avoided, incorrect registrations or unauthorized beverage withdrawals are largely excluded, and in addition a simple one Cleaning the measuring vessel and the associated portioning parts in contact with the beverage is made possible.
  • Another object of the invention is the creation of a construction in which a rapid assembly of dispensing devices with different numbers of portioners in the modular system is possible, existing systems can be enlarged or reduced without difficulty and in which any faults that occur can be remedied by the user himself by simply replacing integrated kits.
  • the main task is solved in that the main switch is designed only as a supply switch and the electromechanical locking devices can be controlled individually in the unlocking and locking direction via switches sensitive to the actuation of the assigned portioner, in particular the switches for the actuation display itself.
  • the invention firstly ensures that only that electromagnet or the like which is assigned to the actuated individual portioner is actually switched on during beverage removal, the switch-on time being limited to the actual time of the portioner actuation and the beverage removal. Because of this brief activation, the solenoid coils can be subjected to greater loads than during continuous operation. All other electromagnets that are activated via the main switch are not switched on, so that the apportioning portioners also remain blocked. Since a portioner is unlocked at the same time as the signal is sent to the control center, false messages, as were previously possible, are also excluded.
  • the switch or switches sensitive to the actuation of the assigned portioner can be actuated with the portioner depending on the setting direction in the on or off sense and with an actuating play amounting to at least a fraction of the tappet stroke, at least in the direction of activation, but in particular in both directions.
  • the locking device has a counter-latch on the portio Nier cooperating bolt that only engages in the lower position of the scoop. If the switches are operated with little play depending on the position, the electromagnet can be switched off when the switch is reset.
  • portioning catches can also be provided in intermediate positions for the bar.
  • a pressure sensor that is sensitive to actuation can be provided on a handle.
  • an adjustable handle for actuating the portioner has two drivers which determine an actuating play for the portioner for a part which is firmly connected to the actuating plunger of the portioner and is play-free or with little play with another, in particular parallel to the portioning plunger Switching plunger is connected, which takes an actuating element for the switch between two end positions determined by fixed stops when it is adjusted via a drag clutch, the actuating element actuating the switch in one end position and the distance between the end positions being only a fraction of the possible switching plunger stroke.
  • This switch plunger can be accommodated with the switch and the associated devices in a separate housing next to the portioner.
  • ent speaks the distance between the end positions of the actuator for the switch at least the actuation play of the driver for the portioner, so that the switch is actuated at the end of the empty stroke of the handle so immediately with the onset of the actual portioner actuation.
  • the switch is designed as a microswitch and the actuating member is designed as a switching cam for this microswitch, which is connected to the switching plunger via a slip clutch, the switching cam being carried along by the switching plunger in each actuating direction from the start of movement from one end position to the other determined by the stops and when the switching plunger is further adjusted in the mentioned direction in the end position reached - which corresponds to an actuation or non-actuation of the microswitch - stops.
  • the microswitch can have two outputs for emitting the acknowledgment signal to the control center or for switching on the electromagnet of the locking device.
  • an auxiliary circuit or an auxiliary relay can also be switched via the microswitch, which outputs the acknowledgment signal or switches the electromagnet on and off.
  • the switch is designed as a reed relay and the actuating member as an actuating magnet for this reed relay, which is held by its magnetic force in a guide recess of the switching plunger made of magnetizable material and by this when the direction of movement changes or when the movement begins, the end position determined by the one stop is taken into the end position determined by the other stop.
  • the magnet could also be attached via a slip clutch, but the use of the magnetic force to generate the adhesive force on the switching plunger simplifies the design.
  • an embodiment according to which the driver is designed as a pivot lever mounted in a slot of a holder for the portioner, which is parallel to itself adjustable pivot axis, with which a head part of the switching plunger is connected via an axis parallel to the pivot axis, with a projection of this head part the one and an end piece of the Swivel lever forms the other driver for the part firmly connected to the actuating plunger of the portioner.
  • the adjustable mounting of the pivot axis enables a change in the distance of this pivot axis from the axis producing the connection with the switching plunger when the lever is pivoted, the head part, which is preferably provided above the free lever end, rests against a counter stop of the portioner in the rest position from above and also follows this counter stop during the resetting of the portioner from the dispensing to the new filling position.
  • the end piece of the pivot lever only comes into active engagement with the part firmly connected to the actuating plunger after the actuation play required for the earliest switch actuation.
  • the part firmly connected to the actuating plunger forms a sleeve surrounding the outlet area of the portioner, which bears a flange at the bottom as a counter-stop for one driver and whose upper edge area is guided in a retaining ring or the like of the portioner , wherein the locking device carries in its locking position over this edge region, engaging through the retaining ring or the like.
  • Interlocking bolt which, as is known per se, by a spring into the Locked position pushed out and retractable via an electromagnet.
  • This design enables simple adaptation of existing portioners for use in a dispensing device according to the invention, the sleeve simultaneously forming the driver and the locking part and the points of attack of the bolt in the locked position and, with a corresponding shape, the driver in the use position being able to be accommodated in a protected manner against unauthorized access.
  • the individual portioners can be assigned display devices, in particular lamps or light-emitting diodes, for separate display of the activation via the provision switch and the actual switch actuation with the respective portioner, so that the operator can determine from one display group, which portioners are ready to be dispensed by actuating the supply switch and receive an additional display when the liquid is being drawn, from which it can be seen that the acknowledgment signal has been emitted to the control center.
  • display devices in particular lamps or light-emitting diodes
  • attachable holding devices are provided for the individual portioners, which preferably take or carry the switches, electromagnets, electrical display devices, connecting lines and preferably also the switching plunger and actuating handles in the form of closed housings and are coupled to the assigned portioners, which are free of electrical connections, by detachable, in particular lockable, quick connections, so that the portioners can be removed and cleaned or disassembled on their own, or a quick replacement of portioners which have become inoperative without disassembling the entire dispensing device or of their portion assigned to the portioner becomes possible. Since the por tioners are free of electrical connections, they can be cleaned externally and internally without risk of damage to these connections.
