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 tappet 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 via electromechanical locking devices, having switches for emitting signals indicating their actuation to a center and 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 common, groupwise or individual activation of 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 beverage 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, such as those assigned to a single price group of beverages, can be actuated by portioners via the main switch, so that different switch positions of the common main switch must be selected for beverages of other price groups and the other price group can also be determined in the control center.
- 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.
- connection area of the portioner i.e.
- a ventilation device with two parallel ring lip seals, through the gaps of which the air can flow in is known, which device works unreliably, however, and a special construction of the bottle cap to be attached separately, which is then locked on the portioner must, requires.
- individual portioners which are not part of a dispensing device of the type mentioned and which are also in the use position on the bottle with the neck down, it is known, together with the plunger, an inner closure member of a bottom-up in the measuring vessel opening protruding ventilation pipe.
- This version is reliable, in contrast to the ventilation device described above, does not tend to stick and allows the use of a simple bottle connection, the bottle being secured by floor brackets on a support structure and locking devices on the portioner.
- the use of mechanical counters registering each actuation stroke of the portioner is also known, and it is also known to couple the portioner to a bottle holder and the counter via a detachable quick connection, which can be locked, for example, by means of a lock.
- 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 signaling the 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 clean the portioners in the assembly position on the support frame of the dispenser if necessary direction.
- the respective bottles have to be removed, the portions of beverage present in the measuring vessels have to be drained, and then the measuring vessels have to be cleaned with detergents and detergents, and then rinsed with water.
- the permanent activation of the electromagnets also leads to considerable heat development, so that at least the portions of the beverage in the measuring vessels are heated unnecessarily to reduce the quality and the effect of any cooling devices for the beverages 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.
- an output device of the type mentioned is known, which is primarily intended for the delivery of drinks in hotel rooms.
- the individual liquid portioners can be actuated via swivel levers which act on a parallelogram linkage.
- a common locking device with locking arms located on a shaft is provided for each individual portioner, which can be pivoted together with the shaft, from which the operation of the portioners preventing the locking position into a release position, so that the portioners can be operated as desired, again every beverage withdrawal is registered.
- An electromagnet is used to actuate the shaft.
- EP-A-0 032 831 it is known, in the case of dispensers with a plurality of portioners, to derive the signals indicating the removal of a portion of the beverage via light barriers from the adjustment of an air inlet valve of the ventilation device of each portioner.
- US-A-4 583 646 relates to a dispensing device in which a plurality of dispensing units, each with a portioner and a bottle holder, can be assembled in a modular design to form a larger unit.
- Each module contains a portioner, with an electromagnetically reversible valve being provided which, in one position, connects a channel leading in the module to an inlet connectable to the bottle with a measuring vessel containing a float and in the other position connects the measuring vessel with an outlet a drinking glass is placed.
- the metering can also be done by specifying the filling time of the measuring vessel.
- a small number of beverages are accommodated in storage containers, from which lines lead to one or two dispensing points, a metering device controlled by a timer being provided in each line.
- 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 dosing 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 sub-object of the invention is to provide a construction in which a quick assembly of dispensing devices with different numbers of portioners in the modular system is possible, existing plants can be enlarged or reduced without difficulty and in which any malfunctions that may occur by the user himself by simple replacement integrated kits can be fixed.
- 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, which are activated via the main switch, are not switched on, so that the associated portioners 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 carries a latch which interacts with a counter-latch on the portioner, which latches only in the lower position of the portioning tappet. 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 used with the switch and the associated Facilities can be accommodated in a separate housing next to the portioner.
- the distance between the end positions of the actuating member for the switch corresponds at least to the actuating play of the drivers for the portioner, so that the switch is actuated at the end of the empty stroke of the handle immediately when the actual portioner actuation is started.
- 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 rei ice and the actuating member is 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.
- the driver is designed as a pivot lever which is mounted on a pivot axis which can be adjusted parallel to itself in a slot of a holder for the portioner and to which a head part of the switching plunger is connected via an axis parallel to the pivot axis, a projection this head part forms one and an end piece of the pivot lever 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 delivery into 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 , wherein the locking device carries in its locking position over this edge area, engaging through the retaining ring or the like.
- Interlocking bolt which, as is known per se, is pushed out into the locking position by a spring and can be withdrawn 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 for the individual portioners are provided, 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 with the assigned portioners free of electrical connections are coupled 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 that have become inoperative is possible without dismantling the entire dispensing device or its part assigned to the portioner. Since the portioners are free of electrical connections, they can be cleaned on the outside and inside wet without risk of damage to these connections.
- the holding device has a separate housing for each portioner, which accommodates switches, switching plungers, electrical display devices, their internal line connections and the storage of the handle and can be detachably connected to one of the preferably from a support rail existing support structure attachable base part is coupled, detachable plug connections are also provided for the electrical supply and control lines.
- the housing with the devices contained in it can be removed and replaced by a new housing that is to be kept in stock in larger systems, so that the bar operation on the respective portioner is only briefly interrupted.

- the base can have an insertion opening extending from its rear side for the plug-in coupling which can be inserted up to a stop, and the edge of this insertion opening can be provided with resilient locking projections engaging behind the end of the inserted plug-in coupling.
- the edge of the insertion opening can protrude beyond the rear of the base, so that it forms an insulating bushing for the connecting lines laid in the mounting rail. If you provide the cable connections in a wrongly trough-shaped mounting rail, you can easily follow the cable run and additions to the wiring when connecting further portioners are easily possible.
- a support structure for several portioners 1 and connected to them, not shown bottles is provided, of which support structure only one side member 2 is shown.
- This longitudinal member can be arranged at or above eye level at a dispensing station and, in a manner to be described below, carries a row of portioners 1 with the bottles placed thereon.
- the portioners 1 carry protruding coupling sleeves 3 and tabs 4 above these coupling sleeves, the coupling sleeves being intended for engagement with pins 5 fastened to the longitudinal member and the tabs 4 having holes 6 into which, after the tab 4 has been inserted into a longitudinal slot of a holding hook 7 a padlock or the like can be hung in, so that the portioner 1 is established by means of the lock 6 after the quick connection 3, 5, 4, 7 has been established.
- a connector 8 projects upwards, which can be inserted into the neck of a bottle instead of a plug. It is possible to remove the portioner 1, to insert the connector 8 from above into the neck of a bottle when the portioner 1 is turned over, and then to fasten the portioner 1 to the bottle. Additional, preferably also lockable holders can be provided on the support frame 2, which can be placed on the bottom of the bottle or comprise the bottle from the front, so that it can only be removed by itself or together with the portioner 1 after the lock has been released.
- the portioner 1 carries, between an upper holding piece 9 and a lower holding ring 10, a measuring vessel 11 in which an actuating plunger can be adjusted in length, which actuating plunger, not shown, in its lower rest position with a shut-off device, in particular a closing piston, has a lower outlet opening of the measuring vessel 1 completes, but leaves an upper, to the inlet formed by the connector 8 inlet opening and closes this inlet opening when it is adjusted upwards via a further shut-off device and releases the outlet through an outlet pipe, which is accommodated in a sleeve 12 to be described and which to then liquid contained in the measuring vessel 11 or the like can run out.
- a shut-off device in particular a closing piston
- a shut-off element attached to the upper end of a ventilation tube protruding from below into the measuring vessel can be actuated in the opening direction via a further tappet coupled with it, so that when the liquid is dispensed, the ventilation is released into the measuring vessel, but this ventilation ends when the liquid is dispensed and Reset of the actuating plunger in the starting position is interrupted.
- the air can pass from the measuring vessel 11 into the bottle via a ventilation pipe 13 led through the connection 8.
- a housing 14 is fixedly mounted on the carrier 2 for each portioner 1 under the pin 5, which has a through opening 15 in an area facing the portioner 1, with which the opening of a magnet coil 16 with magnet armature 17 is aligned within the housing.
- An opening is also provided in the retaining ring 10, from which a sleeve 18 projects outwards, which can be inserted through the opening 15 to the armature 17 (the insertion takes place together with the sleeve 3) and a coupling piece 19 adjoining the armature 17 , a spring 20 and a latch 21 contains.
- the bolt 21 has a locking extension 22 with which it overlaps the upper edge of the sleeve 12 in the rest position in its locked position and thus prevents displacement of the sleeve 12.
- a projecting flange 23 is provided at the lower end of the sleeve 12 coupled to the actuating plunger.
- a lever 26 which is formed as a molded part and which in the free end region carries a pan 27 which fits over the flange 23 and which contains an outlet opening 28 for the liquid from the portioner and, if appropriate, into the sleeve 12 engaging drop wiper 29 carries.
- the lever 26 has raised side walls between which a crosspiece 31 is pivotally mounted about an axis 30, which engages behind the flange 23 with an extension 32 and is fixedly connected to the lower end of a switching plunger 33.
- the switching plunger 33 is guided in an upwardly adjustable manner in a guide sleeve 34 accommodated in the housing 14 against a spring 35 from the position shown. 2, the switching plunger 33 is guided in the sleeve 34 with two rollers 36, 37 which run on corresponding guideways 38, 39 of the sleeve.
- a recess 40 of the switching plunger 33 made of magnetizable material according to FIG. 2 sits in permanent magnet 41, which also engages in a recess 43 of the sleeve.
- the ends of this recess 43 form stops for the permanent magnet 41.
- a reed relay 42 is attached.
- the permanent magnet 41 reaches a stop position with the upper edge of the recess 43 after a short stroke and switches on the reed relay 42. Because of the length of the recess 40, the switching plunger 33 can be adjusted further upward, the magnet 41 remaining in the upper stop position on the edge of the recess 43. If the direction of movement of the switching plunger 33 is reversed, that is to say the switching plunger 33 is adjusted downward, because of the magnetic adhesive force, it takes the permanent magnet 41, which may be located in any position within the recess 40, with it and removes it from the effective range of the reed relay 42, so that it falls off. As shown in FIG.
- the actuating plunger of the liquid portioner 1 is actuated by attaching a glass or other vessel to the lower edge of the pan 27 so that the lever 26 pivots up and the stop 32 detaches from the edge of the flange 23, it being noted that the sleeve 12 is held in the rest position by the spring with the actuating plunger of the portioner 1. An operation is of course only possible after unlocking. As soon as an adjustment movement is exerted on the sleeve 12 and thus the actuating plunger via the pan and the lever 26, the magnet 41 is in the position activating the relay 42.
- FIG. 3 and 4 a construction is shown in which the sleeve 34 according to FIG. 2 is replaced by a two-part housing 44, 45 and a switching plunger 46 is provided which can be adjusted again against a spring 47.
- the switching plunger 46 has an elongated hole 48 through which a bolt 49 extends, which carries at one end a switching cam 50 for the actuating finger 51 of a microswitch 52 and on the other end 53 of which a spring 55 which can be adjusted by a nut 54 is fitted, one of which Brake sleeve 56 presses against the switching plunger 46.
- the housing 44, 45 also has a slot-like guide opening 57 for the parts 49 to 56. In the rest position, which corresponds to the position according to FIG.
- the part 50 lies against the lower edge of the opening 57.
- the switching plunger 46 is moved upwards, the parts 49, 50 are taken along via the slip clutch 56, so that the switching cam 50 actuates the sensor 51 of the microswitch 52 in the switch-on direction. If the switching cam 50 lies against the upper edge of the opening 57, a further adjustment of the switching plunger 46 to the lower end of the elongated hole 48 is nevertheless possible.
- the switching cam 50 is immediately taken along and the switch 52 is switched off.
- the sleeve 12 with a plurality of notches 12a or steps for engagement with the latch 22 and to ensure that the magnet 21 remains attracted until the portioner has reached the starting end position again.
- a vertigo is prevented, in which otherwise the portioner is not completely returned to the starting position and refilled, the key removed, i.e. the identification as described in connection with FIG. 5 is prevented and the refilled liquid portion is removed .
- FIG. 5 shows the functional diagram of an output device according to the invention.
- a central control unit 57 with a microprocessor and memories.
- Each operator authorized to operate the output device receives an actuation key 58 which, in addition to its locking function, also contains identification features which distinguish it from other keys which can also be used but which are assigned to other operators.
- a main switch 59 can be actuated via the keys 58, an identification device 60 detecting the identification features of the key 58 and conveying them to the central control unit 57.
- the switches 42 and 52 are connected to the current source 61, which for the sake of simplicity has been shown as a battery, but preferably consists of a low-voltage transformer with a downstream rectifier circuit.
- a light-emitting diode 62 can be attached to each housing 14. The lighting up of these light-emitting diodes 62, only one of which has been shown, indicates that the corresponding portioning device is provided for the removal of liquid by means of the key 58. If one of the portioners is now actually actuated, the associated switch 42 or 52 closes, the magnetic winding 16 is excited and the latch 22 is thus withdrawn against the spring 20. The liquid can now be withdrawn. At the same time, the control center 57 receives an acknowledgment pulse and a further light-emitting diode 63, which advantageously differs in color from the diode 62, is switched on, so that the operator is informed that the removal has been registered.
- the central control unit 57 stores the withdrawals in the memory assigned to the respective key 58 and displays the withdrawal in a display 64. Another possibility is to print out, for example, the daily withdrawals with the aid of a printer 65 for the individuals authorized to hold keys 58. It is possible in a known manner to distinguish between price categories on the individual portioners and either the number of withdrawals or the final price for the sum of the withdrawals made using a key can be displayed or printed out. A functional check of the dispensing device can be carried out in such a way that the business owner puts on a chef key and thereby provides the portioners.
- the portioners are actuated one after the other until the light-emitting diodes 63 light up, but without liquid withdrawal, and it is checked whether an acknowledgment has taken place for each actuation.
- This check can be carried out on the display 64. It is also possible to use the printer 65 to print out a check report. In the case of known dispensing devices, on the other hand, a check is only possible in such a way that a portion of a beverage is unnecessarily removed from all portioners after being switched on.
- a channel-shaped support rail 2 is provided as the longitudinal beam, on which a base part 66 made of insulating plastic material is mounted, with the bottom of one in its entirety 14a designated housing forms.
- the base part 66 is fastened with the aid of screws 67.
- a rectangular bush 68 of the base 66 is inserted through a corresponding opening in the carrier 2. It serves to accommodate a multiple plug-in coupling 69 with coupling contacts 72 for mating contacts of a plug 74 which can be connected to connecting lines 71 via clamping claws 70.
- the plug-in coupling is inserted into the socket 68 from behind up to a stop board 75.
- a rim 76 at the rear bushing opening, which is exposed by longitudinal slots, can spring out when the coupling 69 is pushed in and engages behind the plug-in coupling 69, so that it is held in the base 66 and fixed in its position.
- the housing 14a can be placed on the base 66. Co-operating guide projections 77 and guide surfaces 78, as well as pins 79, which engage in corresponding counter-openings, ensure that the housing 14a can only be placed and removed in a precisely predetermined position and in a precisely predetermined direction.
- the attached housing 14a is secured by screws 81 which engage in screw bushings 80 on the base 66 which have a metal lining.
- the housing On the portioner side, the housing has a central projection 82 with the lead-through opening 15, with which the opening of the magnet coil 16 is aligned with the magnet armature 17, via which, as has already been described, a latch guided in the sleeve 18 and removable with the portioner 1 can be actuated, which cooperates with the upper edge of the sleeve 12 and in its locked position prevents displacement of the sleeve and thus actuation of the portioner. Otherwise, the structure corresponds to the construction according to FIGS. 1 to 4.
- the actuating device 46 to 49 for the switch is accommodated behind the coil in the housing 14a.
- This housing has air guiding openings 83 and air guiding slots 84 open to the air guiding openings with interposed guiding ribs 85 for the heat emission or cooling of the electromagnet 16, 17.
- the switching device mentioned and a circuit board 86 which has all the switching connections and carries the plug 73, 74 is by means of screws 87 releasably held in the housing 14a.
- the circuit board 86 is connected to spring-loaded connecting lines with light-emitting diodes 62, 63, which are inserted from the rear into housing openings, the projection 82 of the housing 14a having concave grooves 88 running towards the receiving region of the diodes 62, 63 so that the light-emitting diodes 62, 63 are clearly visible from the front of the housing.
- the entire housing 14a can be removed and replaced by a suitable replacement housing, all connections being made by the plug connections 72, 73 and also the alignment of the parts 26 , 27, 32 to the portioner remains guaranteed.
