Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for and a method of automated beverage dispensing, especially beer.
  • the device can be successfully used in pubs and restaurants as a portable or stationary device placed in cocktail stations, counters or bars, as well as can serve as a vending machine which enables maintenance-free sale of beverages using coins, banknotes or payment cards.
  • beverage dispensing devices including beer dispensing ones, which to lesser or greater degree allow automation of the dispensing process, but each of these solutions has also certain limitations. Some of them basically do not allow the service to be significantly improved. Others are very large stations used in unusual situations only (a very large scale). Still others require the use of special cups, which in turn increases costs and complicates the process.
  • Automatic beverage dispensers are known, for instance, from US6102246A , DE2921663A1 , DE202005015254U1 and US3364959A .
  • a device for automated beverage dispensing, especially beer, according to the invention comprises:
  • the control system is configured in such a way that after the dispensing procedure is started in the user interface, the system sends a signal to the container feeder which releases one container on the turntable, wherein the detection of the presence of a container on the turntable by the container presence sensor causes the motor to rotate the turntable to a position, in which the container is placed under the dispensing nozzle which is lowered down towards the bottom of the container by a movable mechanism and held in the container space until the dispensing system dispenses a measured amount of liquid which is stored in the software, and dispensing of a measured amount of liquid causes the control valve in the dispensing system to close, the dispensing nozzle to move upwards by the movable mechanism, and the turntable to be rotated by the motor by a predefined angle, wherein
  • the device may have a manual valve on the liquid supply line for emergency shut-off of the inflow.
  • a method of automated beverage dispensing, especially beer, according to the invention, carried out using the above-described device, includes the execution of one dispensing cycle consisting in that:
  • the device significantly improves the beer dispensing operation, it allows significant reduction of the queues in front of the bar, and thus the order waiting time, which translates into cost savings.
  • the operation in the single dispensing cycle mode, as well as in the continuous mode, allows easy adaptation of the device to the conditions in a restaurant or pub and provides quick access to the beverage due to fact that the device maintains the state in which the selected quantity of filled containers is always present on the turntable.
  • the device for automated beer dispensing is a mechatronic device that combines the idea of synchronized operation of several components built into the supporting structure of the device.
  • the device has a body 1 in which the main components are mounted.
  • the body 1 may be in the form of a single- or multi-piece support structure enclosed by a housing.
  • the body 1 consists of a horizontally arranged lower part 1a which, at the same time, is a base and in which a turntable is mounted.
  • the lower part 1a of the body 1 connects to a vertical upper part 1b, in which other components of the device are mounted, including a dispensing system, a control system and a container feeder 8.
  • the turntable 2 has a plurality of locations 3 for beverage containers 9.
  • the locations 3 have the form of specially shaped openings or bases that facilitate holding of the containers 9, but the turntable 2 can simply have a flat surface on which the containers 9 are positioned.
  • the containers 9 can be, for example, traditional glass beer mugs or plastic cups.
  • the turntable 2 is driven by an electric motor 11 with a belt transmission 12 and operates on the principle of the well-known indexing table used in many devices, but the drive can be implemented in any other way.
  • the device In the case the device is used for filling glass containers, they are fed manually directly onto the turntable 2. In this situation, the automated container feeder 8 is not used.
  • a dispensing system is fixed, comprising a movable mechanism 7, to which a dispensing nozzle 5 is attached with an electrically controlled control valve 6.
  • the movable mechanism 7 moves the dispensing nozzle 5 in a vertical direction.
  • the movable mechanism 7 is driven by an electric motor.
  • the dispensing system is equipped with a flow sensor that transmits a signal representing the amount of dispensed liquid to the control system.
  • a source of beer (or other liquid) is permanently connected to the dispensing system via a tube.
  • the adjustable opening of the control valve 6 (also with an electric motor) allows the beer/liquid to flow through the control valve 6 to the dispensing nozzle 5 and then to the container 9.
  • the control system provides power supply management for the electric motors, reads signals from the sensors, provides user interface management, and decides on the device's operating mode.
  • the control system comprises, among others, an electronic system, a controller with software, and a user interface.
  • the user interface 10 enables controlling of the device, configuration of parameters, and provides information about the operating status.
  • the control system is configured so that after activation of the dispensing procedure in the user interface 10 it sends a signal to the container feeder 8, which releases one container 9 onto the turntable 2, wherein the detection of the presence of a container 9 on the turntable 2 by the container presence sensor 4 causes the motor 11 to rotate the turntable 2 to a position, in which the container 9 is under the dispensing nozzle 5 which is lowered down towards the bottom of the container 9 by the movable mechanism 7 and held in the space of the container 9 until the dispensing system dispenses the measured quantity of the liquid, which is stored in the software, and the dispensing of the measured amount causes the control valve 6 in the dispensing system to close, the dispensing nozzle 5 to move upwards by the movable mechanism 7, and the turntable 2 to rotate by a predefined angle.
  • control system repeats the dispensing process until the number of filled containers 9 is equal to that defined with the user interface 10.
  • control system repeats the dispensing process until containers 9 in all container locations 3 on the turntable 2 are filled, or until the number of filled containers 9, as defined by the user with the user interface 10, is reached, wherein the control system maintains such state continuously by repeating the dispensing process each time by the number of cycles equal to the number of filled containers 9 that have been removed from the turntable 2.
  • the device may be equipped with a manual valve on the beer supply line if an emergency shut-off of the beer inflow is needed.
  • the automatic mode one defines how many filled containers 9 are to be kept all the time on the turntable 2. If the user has specified the number of containers 9 to be filled equal to three, and on the turntable 2 there are already three filled containers 9, and at any moment one filled container 9 will be removed, then the device performs one cycle automatically and fills one container 9 to maintain on the turntable 2 the number of full containers 9 equal to three. Alternatively, the user may choose the device to keep constantly the state where all the locations 3 on the turntable 2 are occupied by the filled containers 9.
  • the operation in the automatic mode comprises the following operations:
