Definitions
- Document PI 8504334 relates to a cooler that has a container with a pool of cooling liquid inside it, where the beverage bottles are put in contact with alcohol and water, liquid fluorocarbon or FREON 1 13.
- the bottles remain arranged on a grate over the cooled liquid and may be dipped into the liquid by means of pneumatic cylinders that lower this grate down to the height necessary for contact with the liquid.
- a temperature probe measures the temperature of the cooling liquid and guarantees the operation of the cooling system.
- the cooler has a tray provided with a lifting mechanism that does down dipping the bottles into the cooling liquid and rises finishing the contact of the bottles with the liquid.
- an automatic cooler for beverages which comprises:
- the cooling liquid may be based on glycol, ethanol, water or a mixture of these elements and is kept at a temperature ranging from - 10 Q C to - 33 Q C.
- the beverage-temperature detector preferably comprise at least two transducers that emit signals that cross each other within the beverage inside the container immersed in the cooling liquid at the point where the measurement of temperature is carried out.
- the mechanism for displacing the platform has a DC 24-volt electric motor with a source of electric energy having traction force of about 160 kg.
- This motor 3 is capable of displacing the platform assembly on which about 10 beer bottles having 600 ml can be supported.
- the displacement mechanism further uses a bar 4 provided with an endless double-threaded worm screw and a guide that runs in this worm screw.
- This threaded bar runs within a stainless-steel guide tube 5 of the platform assembly, with the aid of a flange, a bushing with specific sealing and with a special lubrication system.
- the platform base 52 is fixed to the guide tube 5 of the platform assembly, so that the assembly will be displaced up and down as it is driven by the motor 3, which causes the guide tube 5 to move with respect to the worm-screw bar 4.
- a device for scraping beverage bottles may also be coupled to the upper part of the housing 1 , being arranged above the guide plate 6 of the bottles, to scrape cooling-liquid residues and ice formed on the bottle surface when it is taken out of the cooler.
- the scraper is fixed in a position, while the platform assembly moves.
- this scraping device is constituted by a scraping support 7 in the form of a second plate, also provided with orifices adapted to the bottle diameter, and a scraping coating 8 coupled to the borders of the orifices, which makes contact with the surface of the bottle when the latter is moved out of the cooler, scraping said residues off.
- the scraping coating 8 is preferably made of acrylic or silicone web.
- the cooler according to the invention has beverage-temperature detectors inside at least one of the beverage containers when dipped in the cooling liquid. These beverage-temperature detectors are essential to enable the cooler to be controlled on the basis of the beverage temperature per se.
- the arrangement of the electronic circuits and of the buttons on a single panel close to the cooler helps to prevent failures in reading and updating information and to facilitate maintenance of the balance.
- the cooling liquid is kept continuously cooled inside the cooler at a temperature suitable for cooling beverages rapidly, usually between -10 Q and -30 Q c, and it may vary within this temperature range. In this way, while the cooler is turned on, it will always be ready for immediate use.
- the method of cooling beverages continually performs the circulation of the cooling liquid within the housing by means of the circulation pump 21 and its motor, causing the cooling liquid to come into contact with the heat exchanger of the plate type 17 of the cooling circuit during the circulation, which contributes to keeping the liquid at the desired temperature in a homogeneous manner within the housing.
- the operator does not need to configure the equipment as a function of variations in room temperature or in the volume of type of beverage to be cooled, it being enough to configure the target temperature of the beverage, but without there being any risk of explosion or leakage of the beverage containers.
