Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mixing faucet for a beverage dispenser.
  • a tap usually includes a tap, fittings for connecting the reservoir and a pump or a carbon dioxide or nitrogen with pressure reducer to build the delivery pressure.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a particularly reliable and hygienic mixing faucet.
  • the mixing tap according to the invention for a beverage dispenser comprises an outlet body with an outlet opening and an inlet body arranged at least partially in the outlet body, in which inlet body at least one inlet channel for a first mixing component is arranged.
  • the mixing valve further comprises an elastic membrane body with at least one frictionally fitting at least on a part of the inlet body diaphragm portion, which membrane portion closes a arranged on an outer side of the inlet body channel outlet of at least one inlet channel, wherein the membrane body is formed so that the at least one membrane portion at an admission of the at least one inlet channel with a defined minimum pressure from its seat lifts so that the channel outlet of at least one inlet channel is opened and a flow channel between the inlet body and the membrane body is formed, through which flow channel introduced into the at least one inlet channel first mixture component the inlet body leaves.
  • the mixing valve further comprises an inlet for a second mixture component, which Inlet is arranged such that the second mixture component mixed before reaching the outlet opening of the outlet body with the first mixture component
  • first mixture component and “second mixture component”
  • base material and “water” are used below, without this being limiting.
  • a basic idea of the invention is to complete the outlet of the inlet channel after a mixing operation so that no outlet section remains open.
  • it is proposed to dispense with a closing device in the interior of the inlet channel and instead close the channel outlet from the outside with a membrane body which widens when pressure is applied to the inlet channel, lifts itself from the inlet body and thus opens the channel outlet.
  • a closing device in the interior of the inlet channel and instead close the channel outlet from the outside with a membrane body which widens when pressure is applied to the inlet channel, lifts itself from the inlet body and thus opens the channel outlet.
  • the membrane body preferably forms a casing which fits tightly against the feed body by springing against the feed body.
  • the force with which the membrane body rests with the formation of a direct spring connection to the feed body, is preferably caused solely by the inherent resilience of the membrane body.
  • the membrane body is preferably located not only with one of its membrane sections on the inlet body, but the entire membrane body envelops at least a part of the inlet body frictionally.
  • This principle of completion of the inlet channel without an outlet side open channel section is not only applicable to single-mixer valves.
  • the present invention provides for the first time a multiple mixing plant in which the problem of undesired contamination in successive mixing operations can be reliably avoided.
  • it can be ruled out that there is an undesirable color and / or taste impairment of a mixed beverage by a base material that was used in a previous mixing process.
  • Vorzugswelse each base material zugeordnez its own inlet channel can also be advantageously used if an inlet channel is used for the supply of a plurality of different base materials. It is also possible to simultaneously feed a plurality of raw materials to a tap via separate feed channels, so that the resulting mixed beverage contains several raw materials. Since then at several Kanalauspetn applied to form a Naturalflußkanals minimum pressure opens in this case a plurality of channel outlets and form below the membrane sections involved several flow channels through which leave the raw materials the feed body and mixed with water to the finished beverage.
  • the invention is not limited to non-alcoholic soft drinks, but can be used in the output of all mixed drinks produced by the post-mix method.
  • the invention can also be used in the conventional production of mixed drinks.
  • the mixture components need not be one or more raw materials and water, but also finished beverage components may be mixed, for example for the preparation of mixed drinks, cocktails or mineral drinks.
  • a multiple mixing tap as many a channel outlet tightly closing or this channel outlet opening and a flow channel forming membrane sections of the membrane body provided that each exactly one channel outlet having section of the outside of the inlet body is assigned exactly one membrane section.
  • the mixing valve on the one hand on the membrane body and on the other hand arranged on the inlet body, interlocking construction elements.
  • Particularly advantageous in this case have angeordneze on the membrane body, adjacent membrane sections from each other separating webs proved.
  • These webs engage in receiving grooves, which are provided on the feed body and separate the membrane sections corresponding sections of the outside of the feed body from each other.
  • These cooperating construction elements are preferably arranged running in the direction of flow of the base material, ie in the direction of pressurization, axially to the inlet body.
  • the webs are preferably dimensioned such that they eino at least partially in the receiving grooves even with a pressurization.
  • the membrane body has an upper region and a lower region immediately adjacent thereto in the flow direction.
  • the lower region of the membrane body is formed by diaphragm sections arranged adjacent to one another. The edge of the membrane body which closes the lower region downwards forms the outlet opening of the flow channel in the direction of outflow when pressure is applied, and closes this outlet opening in the manner of a sealing lip once the supply of the basic substance has been completed.
  • the upper region of the membrane body is formed by a membrane ring, which rests in this area permanently frictionally against the inlet body, wherein the inlet body in this area preferably has a constant cross-section to ensure a particularly secure connection.
  • the diaphragm ring is advantageously designed such that it does not lift off from the inlet body even with a pressurization of all inlet channels and holds the membrane body in its position.

  • the ribs preferably also run axially to the inlet body. At least a subset of these ribs is supported on a pressurization of a number of inlet channels on the inside of the outlet body.
  • the ribs hold the membrane body in a defined position on the inlet body, even if one side bears a pressure that lifts a part or more parts of the membrane body of the inlet body.
  • the ribs can be designed such that they only at a Support pressurization on the outlet body; but they can also be designed so that they touch the inside of the outlet body in the idle state, without requiring a lifting of one or more membrane sections of the feed body is required.
  • the membrane body is preferably designed in such a way that the usual delivery pressure for the first mixture component is sufficient for lifting a membrane section from the inlet body. The application of an additional pressure beyond this normal working pressure is then not necessary. This avoids unwanted carbonization.
