Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for distribution of drinks of the type in which the drink is taken from a tank fed by the neck of a overturned container held in place by a receptacle and being able to communicate with said tank via an end piece secured to a support capable of being maintained on the device, when said neck is engaged on said tip when placing the container.
  • the object of the present invention is to avoid these situations and to make sure that the responsible for maintenance of the device and its supply either warned either by an alarm or by an indication specific, when it has to refill the device with a new container and / or clean or disinfect parts of the device (the nozzle and its support and possibly the tank and any pipes that connect it audit tip).
  • a device of the type defined at the beginning comprises an installation of control including a presence detection set of said container, this assembly being connected to a system indicator via electronic circuit programmable, the latter being adapted to actuate said indicator system and to trigger it when certain conditions are fulfilled concerning the presence of said container on said receptacle.
  • Such an apparatus can also be characterized in that that said electronic circuit includes a first clock and in that said determined conditions relate to the time of presence of said container on said receptacle, said electronic circuit being adapted to trigger the indicator system when the time of presence of the container on the receptacle exceeds a first predetermined duration.
  • This first predetermined duration may be by example of 15 days, but may depend on the type of drink (water, fruit juice etc.)
  • the device can also be characterized in that said circuit electronic includes a counter and in that said conditions determined relate to the number of withdrawals or of placing said container on the receptacle, said electronic circuit being adapted to trigger the system indicator when said number reaches a quantity determined.
  • said set detection is actuated directly by said container overturned during its installation on the receptacle, by example by a shoulder of the container, or that said detection assembly is activated indirectly by a movable flap suitable for being pivoted to an open position during the positioning of said container on its receptacle, like this will be better seen later.
  • a device of the type defined at the start can also be characterized in that it comprises a control installation comprising a detection assembly the presence of said tip support, this assembly being connected to an indicator system via a programmable electronic circuit, the latter being adapted to activate said indicating system and to cause its trigger when conditions are met determined regarding the presence of said tip support on the device.
  • the device can still be characterized in that said electronic circuit includes a second clock and in that said conditions determined relate to the time of presence of said tip support on the device, said electronic circuit being adapted to trigger the indicator system when the time to presence of said support on the device exceeds one second predetermined duration.
  • a device conforming to the above can still be characterized in that said tip support is consisting of a collar-shaped receptacle, which is suitable for being removably supported on a wall upper of said device.
  • said tip support is consisting of a collar-shaped receptacle, which is suitable for being removably supported on a wall upper of said device.
  • the invention can still be applied, in all its provisions, to devices in which said support of the nozzle is constituted by a separate bowl of said receptacle and suitable for being secured so removable below an upper wall of said device.
  • the detection assembly includes detectors specific to establish or cut an electrical contact or detectors capacitive, optical or similar proximity switches.
  • the indicator system may include particular a visual or audible alarm activated during what we called above its "trigger".
  • This indicator system may also include a digital display of the time measured by the clocks or meter measurement, which will monitor the device permanently and possibly recommend a maintenance operation even before the triggering of the alarm.
  • the electronic circuit printed circuit board or integrated circuit
  • said indicating system is automatically reset to zero after triggering and delivery of the set of detection in initial position.
  • the apparatus shown in Figure 1 includes a vertical box 1 whose front face 2 has a opening 3 to recovery tank 4 on the grid of which can place the cups intended to receive the drink contained in the overturned container 5.
  • This is a bottle for example of rigid plastic, the capacity can be ten liters and the neck 6 is engaged on a nozzle 7 suitable for ensuring a air and water communication between bottle 5 and a intermediate tank (not shown) contained in the box 1. From this intermediate tank (possibly heated or refrigerated), the drink is sent to taps 8 of opening 3, as explained in detail in the aforementioned French patent application No. 97-12 128.
  • the end piece 7 is integral with a support 9 which in this embodiment simultaneously constitutes a receptacle in collar shape ensuring the installation of the neck 6 and on the flared part of which the container 5 is supported by its shoulders 10.
  • This receptacle 9 takes support itself, by its peripheral edge 11, on an upper wall 12 of the box 1.
  • the control installation which does more precisely the object of the invention comprises as a detection assembly the presence of the container 5 in the service position on the device, an insulating push rod 13, for example in plastic material, on which is fixed a washer of stop 14 and which is slidably mounted in a plate fixed metallic common contact 15.
  • a coil spring 16 is normally compressed between the washer 14 and the plate 15.
  • the rod 13 carries a metal contact 17.
  • the overturned container 5 is normally in place on the receptacle 9, its shoulder 10 is supported on the free end of the rod 13, which passes through the upper wall 12 of the box 1; this presence of the container results in the fact that there is no of electrical contact between contact 17 and plate 15.
  • the spring 16 pushes the rod 13 upwards by through the washer 14, and this causes the setting in electrical contact with contact 17 on plate 15.
  • these clocks can thus determine the respective times during which the contacts 15 - 17 and 15 - 17 'remained open, i.e. the respective times t1 and t2 during which the container 5 on the one hand, the support 9 for the nozzle on the other hand, stayed in place.
  • An alarm by lighting of indicator light 18 can thus be provided when the time t1 exceeds for example 15 days, while the first clock is automatically reset to zero as soon as container 5 is replaced, since for this do it is mandatory that contact 15 - 17 closes.
  • another alarm by lighting of the indicator 19 can be provided when the time t2 of presence of the support 9 of the nozzle 7 exceeds another predetermined duration, by example 3 months, which requires cleaning or sterilization of these elements, the extraction of which entails automatically resetting the second clock to zero circuit 20, by closing the contact 15 - 17 '.
  • the circuit electronic 20 can also include a counter recording the number of contact closings 15 - 17, that is to say the number of new implementations container 5, with indicator light 19 when this number reaches a predetermined amount, indicating the need to carry out a cleaning or even a replacement of certain parts of the device, for example replacement of the intermediate tank.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 we represented a device of the same type but in which the receptacle 9 of container 5 is fixed and integral with the upper wall 12 of the box 1, the end piece 7 then being integral with a support 9 ′, in the form of a removable bowl, secured below the wall 12, for example by sliding on a slide 25.
  • Pivoting shutters 21, for example recalled by springs, are in position closing in the absence of container 5, and only open when placing this container in position overturned on the fixed receptacle 9.
  • control installation can be the same as in the first embodiment, this installation constituting only one of the variants possible.
  • the invention therefore provides the means to control perfectly the operating conditions of the device, and including hygienic conditions, making it much more unlikely unintentional omission of a container 5 for too long, or an omission of maintenance, cleaning or disinfection of certain sensitive parts of the device.
