Definitions
- the present invention is in the field of liquid distribution and more specifically relates to a beverage dispensing device.
- Such devices are known for the distribution of tap water, with or without the addition of cooling or heating elements allowing the consumption of either cooled water or hot water, intended for preparing for example infusions or soups.
- the object of the present invention is to be able to store and distribute mineral water, refreshed or heated, from a fountain in which the containers containing the mineral water are introduced closed.
- It is characterized by the fact that it comprises a reservoir whose upper face has at least one passage comprising in its upper part means capable of piercing said closed container; and the lower face of which comprises one or two through channels connected to distribution conduits for said liquid.
- said reservoir consists of two independent plates joined together in a sealed manner, the opposite faces of which have a recess constituting said reservoir.
- the invention also extends to the use of a beverage dispensing device capable of dispensing a liquid previously contained in at least one closed container, characterized in that said closed container is placed in a hopper, pressure in the direction of means capable of piercing said container, so that the liquid fills a reservoir disposed below said container as well as the part of the conduits located above a tap.
- a water distribution fountain is shown diagrammatically composed respectively of a frame 10 comprising, in its upper part, a hopper 20 for positioning the bottles 30 of mineral water.
- the bottles 30 are arranged with the neck downwards on a piercing plate 40 secured to a sealing plate 50.
- the means for controlling the dispensing of beverages are grouped together under reference 60 and will be detailed below.
- the frame 10 contains two intermediate reserves 70 intended for the thermal treatment of the water distributed above a tray 80, connected by a discharge tube to a retention enclosure 90.
- the control means 60 for the distribution of beverages comprise on the front face 11 of the frame 10 a general switch 61 of electrical supply as well as two pushers 62 and 63 for controlling solenoid valves 64 and 65 arranged along the conduits 66 and 67 for supplying the liquid to the heat treatment reserves 71 and 72.
- the conduits 66 and 67 open into the lower part of the reserves 71 and 72, corresponding respectively to the intermediate reserves of cold and hot water of the device according to the invention.
- These reserves 71 and 72 communicate with the outside by two swan necks 73 and 74 ensuring the distribution of the liquid on the front face 11 of the fountain according to the invention, the inner part of the conduits 73 and 74 opening into the upper part of the heat treatment reserves 71 and 72.
- the heat treatment reserves 71 and 72 are part of traditional type refrigeration and heating installations, intended to bring the liquid contained in the reserves 71 and 72 to temperatures of approximately 5 ° on the one hand, and approximately 50 to 60 ° on the other. Reserves 71 and 72 will be made of stainless steel to guarantee all the values of mineral waters.
- the plate 80 is connected by a discharge duct 81 to the retention enclosure 90, so as to recover any unexpected overflow of liquid.
- the enclosure 90 is also connected by a conduit 91 to a passage 41 provided in the piercing plate 40, to allow the recovery of the liquid possibly escaping from the bottles when they are opened.
- the general dimensions of the installation are such that the pouring spouts 73 and 74, as well as the control means 60 are located facing the user.
- the frame 10 may further include a reserve of disposable cups, as well as a recovery compartment for these, not shown in the drawing.
- a variant of drilling plate 40 is shown in Figures 2 and 3, respectively seen from above and in section. This variant is intended for a device with nine bottles 31.
- the plate 40 has for this purpose nine openings 42 into which are inserted drilling tubes 43, of diameter less than the internal diameter of the necks 32 of the bottles, which are made of stainless steel and the upper end of which is cut into a whistle 44, as visible in FIG. 3.
- the necks 32 of the bottles rest against bases 45.
- the plate 40 further comprises a baffle tip 46 intended to prevent the introduction of any foreign body and to let the air pass.
- a baffle tip 46 intended to prevent the introduction of any foreign body and to let the air pass.
- the lower part of the plate 40 is hollowed out below the nozzle 46, precisely to allow air to escape through the nozzle when the liquid is introduced between the piercing plate 40 and the plate d sealing 50.
- the lower level of the end piece 46 is situated above the lower level of the openings 42, for reasons given below.
- the plate 40 is also provided, as already mentioned, with a passage 41 intended for connection to the conduit 91 and it will be noted that all the paths 47 converge towards this passage 41. It is also possible to provide, on the 'one of the faces of the plate 40, the reinforcing elements 48, shown in dashed lines in the drawing. Finally, the plate 40 has, in its lower part, a flange 49 intended to surround the sealing plate 50, which is fixed to the drilling plate by means of screws 51. A seal, not shown in the drawing, is disposed between the drilling 40 and sealing 50 plates, intended to be brought together according to the arrows F in FIG. 3.
- the upper face of the sealing plate 50 comprises a recess 52 opening into two channels passing through 53 and 54, connected respectively to the conduits 66 and 67 for supplying the liquid to the heat treatment reserves 71 and 72.
- the sealing plate may include reinforcements 55, intended to cooperate with the underside of the piercing plate.
- This device being designed to receive a single bottle, of 20 liters for example, a single piercing tube 43 is disposed in the center of the plate 40, the other openings 42 receiving columns 21 for supporting the central part 22 of the hopper 20 , intended to match the shape of the bottle 33. These columns 21 thus support the conical support 22 while ensuring the tightness of the enclosure 56.
- FIG. 4 also shows the conduits 66 and 67 for supplying liquid to the heat treatment reserves ensuring the production of cold and hot liquids as well as the solenoid valves 64 and 65 for controlling the flow rate.
- the operation of the installation according to the invention is as follows. Or the bottles 33 or 31 are introduced into the cells of the hopper 20, the neck down. It goes without saying that the shape of the cells of the hopper 20 can be varied as a function of the shape of the bottles, which are generally of round or square section.
- the tip 44 of the upper end of the corresponding piercing tube 43 pierces its plastic stopper and the neck 32 is lowered to the base 45 located below. From when the water can flow through the opening 42 in the intermediate reserve 56, until the water level reaches the base of the tube 43. At this time, the air does not can no longer penetrate through the baffle 46 into the bottle or bottles 30, so that the level of the bottles remains constant.
- the installation can then be used normally, as soon as the heat treatment blocks have respectively cooled and reheated the content of the intermediate reserves 71 and 72.
- the user wants mineral water, either cold or hot, he presents a cup in front of the pouring spout 73 or 74 and presses the pusher 62 or 63 to open the solenoid valve 64 or 65. By gravity, the cup fills, lowering the level of the block 71 or 72, which itself lowers the level of the reserve 56, in turn producing the flow of water from the bottles until the quantity is replaced. consumed.
- the intermediate reserve 56 like the heat treatment reserves 71 and 72 are inside the device described, to comply with food storage standards. To avoid conserving mineral water in an amount greater than the authorized 1.5 liters, the airtight intermediate reserve and the heat treatment reserves will be of a capacity less than this value.
- the intermediate reserve 56 will have a capacity of 0.8 liters, while the heat treatment reserves 71 and 72 will be of the order of 0.6 liters, an amount allowing it to be refrigerated or reheated within a period of time. in short.
- the liquid mentioned is mineral water, but it is of course possible to use the fountain according to the invention for other liquids, such as fruit juice or milk.
- beverage dispensing device described so far allows the distribution of a single liquid, but it is possible, without departing from the scope of the present invention, to provide a double device allowing at will to obtain water or milk, hot or cold.
- bottles can be replaced by any other type of closed container, such as disposable packaging, in the form of cartons or bricks for example.
