Definitions

  • the invention relates to serving cold drinks in restaurants.
  • a dispensing system which has several dispensing taps side by side, each with a dispensing lever, and each of the dispensing taps is connected to a storage container such as a barrel or container for a cold drink.
  • the bar waiter usually takes a specific glass intended for the specific beverage from a cupboard behind him or above the dispensing system, holds it under the outlet opening of the dispensing tap and activates it, usually by pulling the swiveling dispensing lever forward.
  • the bar waiter cannot pour some drinks all at once because of the foam formation, but only in two or three stages, and has to put the partially filled glass aside in between and then pick it up again, which further increases the effort.
  • the bar waiter can also move the tap backwards with most manual tap systems, which means that air is added to the drink, usually beer, and foam comes out of the tap.
  • beer can be tapped with the desired amount of foam in the glass, and on the other hand, the majority of the tapping process can initially be carried out with little foam formation and therefore quickly, and the desired amount of foam can only be added at the end.
  • this requires a practiced Schanckeller for a quick implementation.
  • the waiter puts the filled glass on a transfer area, from which the waiter picks it up.
  • the pure filling time is usually longer than with a glass that is initially tilted and, in particular, with manual filling by a very experienced bar waiter.
  • dispensing systems for large throughputs are known, in which mostly one and the same drink and thus filled into the same type of glasses are served several times next to each other by placing the glasses next to each other in a handling trough at a distance from the outlet openings of the taps and placing this in the dispensing system is set, all glasses are filled at the same time and then the entire handling trough is removed from the dispensing system and fitted with a new handling trough filled with glasses.
  • This is used in particular to be able to offer many similar drinks in drinks containers in a short time, for example during the short breaks in sporting events in stadium catering or the like.
  • a tap with an outlet opening is also spoken of when the tap does not have the typical, manually operated blocking element such as a pivoting tap lever, but only an operating button or a button to be operated Control panel, which is not mechanically but only electronically coupled to the blocking element located in the supply line to the outlet opening, the dispensing valve.
  • the typical, manually operated blocking element such as a pivoting tap lever, but only an operating button or a button to be operated Control panel, which is not mechanically but only electronically coupled to the blocking element located in the supply line to the outlet opening, the dispensing valve.
  • the assembly that contains the outlet opening for the beverage to be poured and the controlled blocking element is generally referred to as a tap in the context of the present description.
  • this object is achieved in that first the glass is moved from a starting position, in which it is located under the outlet opening, by means of the storage -Base on which it stands is automatically raised until the top edge of the glass is at a set elevation.
  • the outlet opening in this starting position does not necessarily have to be located within the peripheral contour of the upper opening of the glass when viewed from above, but can also be offset thereto.
  • the glass is preferably vertical in this starting position.
  • the glass is pivoted in such a way that the axial direction, i.e. the axis of symmetry of its rotationally symmetrical parts, is at an angle to the vertical, but the outlet opening is located above the upper end area of the inner peripheral surface of the wall of the glass, i.e. above the one lying below Peripheral area of the inner surface of the wall, preferably vertically above it or, in the case of an obliquely directed outlet opening in the outlet direction, offset in the transverse direction thereto.
  • the outlet opening can be located inside the glass, or outside, above the glass. Depending on the outflow direction of the liquid from the outlet opening, the liquid impinges on the inner surface of the wall at a more or less large but acute angle, which keeps the formation of foam to a minimum.
  • the glass is supported from the outside on its side surface pointing downwards in the pivoted state, so that it cannot fall off the storage base.
  • the glass support used for this can be designed to be movable and can be moved, in particular pivoted, between a supporting, active position and a non-supporting, inactive position, which is particularly useful when supporting is necessary on the side facing away from the operator there, however, the glasses are to be brought into the swivel unit by means of an automatic feed unit.
  • the glass is filled in this filling position, with the glass optionally being swung back and/or lowered against the lifting direction during the filling process, among other things to prevent the outlet opening from coming into contact with the liquid in the glass or the foam formed on it.
  • the fill level in the glass in particular the height of the upper side of the foam, can be detected and, depending on this, the glass can be lowered and/or pivoted back.
  • the glass After the glass has been filled with the intended amount, it is automatically returned to its starting position, from where it can be removed - manually or automatically.
  • the operator preferably enters the type of drink in an input unit, ie both with regard to the type of liquid and the amount of liquid.
  • a specific target height of the glass after lifting can be approached in different ways:
  • a glass that is defined at least in terms of height is stored with each type of drink that can be selected on the operating unit, and preferably also the target height of the glass after it is raised, so that after the type of drink has been selected, the controller knows to what height the support base on which the glass stands must be raised.
  • a sensor to monitor when the target height is reached, that is to say to detect, in particular whether the parking base is approaching and/or reaching the target height.
  • a second possibility consists in preferably not specifying the target height of the parking base, but rather defining the reaching of a target height by the upper edge of the glass as a parameter to be monitored.
  • the lifting movement can automatically change into a pivoting movement if the tightening element is pulled further. so that only one drive motor is required for lifting and swivelling.
  • each selected drink can have a different, defined target height and/or other pivoting, both with regard to the maximum pivoting angle and the timing of the pivoting, and/or a different movement path during of the filling process can be specified by the controller.
  • the glass can be automatically transported from a supply to the pivoting station by a feed unit and automatically and controlled placed on the correct parking base, over which The liquid drink is then dispensed from the outlet opening above it.
  • the glass can be automatically removed from the pivoting unit, i.e. from its storage base, by a removal unit and taken to a desired destination, for example a transfer area to the operator.
  • this generically usually comprises a plurality of pivoting units, each of which is assigned to an outlet opening, and a controller for controlling at least all moving components of the pivoting station.
  • Each pivoting unit is preferably assigned only one outlet opening, with closely adjacent outlet openings for different liquids, such as beer on the one hand and non-alcoholic beverages on the other hand, being able to be regarded as a common outlet opening since they can be assigned to one and the same pivoting unit.
  • a pivoting unit is preferably always assigned only one outlet opening for a specific type of liquid, ie not several outlet openings for the same liquid.
  • each, of the swivel units according to the invention comprises a storage base on which a glass can be placed, as well as a lifting and tilting device with which the glass standing on it is automatically and controlled raised, tilted and then put back into the Starting position can be lowered.
  • the lifting and tipping device consists on the one hand of a tilting base, in relation to which a lifting and tilting part can be tilted about a horizontal tilting axis.
  • the lifting and tipping part in turn includes a guide along which the storage base can be moved and thus raised in a lifting direction when the guide is upright.
  • the lifting and tipping device includes a drive unit with at least one motor.
  • the support base may include a support panel that is detachably attached to the support base and on which the glass is supported.
  • Such a separate storage plate is preferably designed and matched to the storage base so that after parking the storage plate in the storage base by lifting it with storage base, the storage plate automatically attaches to the storage base and thus the hub - the tilting device is fixed, in particular fixed in a form-fitting manner, at least in a form-fitting manner against a relative movement in one of the directions of the main plane of the storage shelf, i.e. its upper storage surface for the glass, but preferably also against a relative movement transversely, in particular perpendicular to this main plane.
  • the storage plate does not have to be a continuously closed plate, but any structure that offers a storage surface for the glass to be placed on it is sufficient.
  • the separate storage plate offers the possibility of supplying a desired glass standing on such a storage plate with a supply unit or automatically removing it again with a discharge unit.
  • Such a glass support is arranged in such a way that, when the tilting part is in the tilted state, it supports a glass standing on the storage base on the outer peripheral surface of the glass, which then points downwards.
  • the glass support can be activated and deactivated, with the adjustment between the two positions being able to be effected automatically by means of the lifting and tilting device or the storage base by lifting the storage base.
  • the glass support preferably consists of two support parts which, when viewed from above, are opposite to one another in relation to the vertical center plane of the support unit in which its pivoting movement takes place lie so that a glass lying against it is automatically centered between them.
  • one of the two support parts in particular both support parts, is further away from the vertical center plane than in its activated position, with the glass support preferably being pivoted between the deactivated and the activated position.
  • the movable arrangement has the advantage that, in the deactivated state, there is free space after deactivation from the direction in which the glass support is in the activated position, ie a glass can be fed in, for example.
  • the glass support is therefore preferably located at a sufficient distance from the upright center plane so that a glass can be fed to the storage base from the rear side facing away from the operator.
  • the one or two guides of the lifting and tipping part for the parking base are also preferably located laterally next to and at a distance from the center plane of the lifting and tipping device, preferably on the same side thereof.
  • each pivoting unit can preferably be dismantled from a base frame and/or each lifting and tipping device from the rest of the pivoting unit as a group that can be handled together quickly and easily, i.e. preferably without tools and in less than 20 seconds. In particular, they can simply be pulled off and put back on for assembly.
  • the drive motor or the multiple drive motors of the lifting and tipping device can be assembled and disassembled in a simple manner.
  • the pivoting unit in particular its lifting and tilting device, will generally have several drives, in particular motors, namely on the one hand for the lifting movement and on the other hand for the pivoting movement.
  • the lift motor is then operatively connected to the storage base and to either the lift member or its base, while the swing motor is operatively connected to the lift member and is preferably attached to the swing unit or its base.
  • a height detector can be present, which detects this and reports this to the control, or the control is designed in such a way that it can be selected for each on the control Drink variant a specific glass, in particular at least the height is stored and thus a specific lifting distance that the lifting device must cover controlled.
  • the pan motor engages the lift member, specifically either the stand base or the guide or even the glass support, even if it is movable between an activated and a deactivated position, since operating the pan -Movement is also only carried out when the glass support is activated.
  • the swivel drive includes a slide that is directed approximately horizontally against the rear side of the lifting and tilting part or the guide or even on the glass support and engages with it.
  • a swivel motor can be arranged on the swivel axis and swivel the lifting part in a controlled manner by a defined swivel angle.
  • the lifting and tilting device and thus the entire swiveling unit can also be operated with just a single drive motor and hardly any sensors which performs both the lifting movement and the pivoting movement.
  • An endless circulating traction element such as a belt can also be used.
  • the motor is preferably arranged behind the pivot axis, and the pulling element is diverted in said direction around a deflection surface, such as a deflection roller, arranged above and/or in front of the pivot axis of the lifting and tipping device.
  • a deflection surface such as a deflection roller
  • This lifting stop is preferably attached to the lifting and tilting part and can therefore pivot with it and therefore does not have to be on the tilting axis.
  • the lifting stop viewed from above, is above the area of the storage base that is remote from the pivot axis, in particular the storage surface for the glass, which has the advantage that when the glass is filled in an inclined position, the liquid or the foam on it generally does not reach the glass rim contacting the lifting stop and thus the lifting stop is rarely or not at all contaminated.
  • a pivoting sensor in particular in the form of a mechanical pivoting stop, can be present in order to detect and end the pivoting in the maximum permissible pivoting position, preferably by means of the control of the pivoting motor.
  • both movements ie lifting and pivoting, can be controlled independently of one another if separate drives are available for this, since separate detection options are available for this.
  • a much more complex, but also extremely flexible form of lifting and tipping device is a robot as a lifting and tipping device:
  • the robot is mounted with its robot base on the base frame, and the storage base to be moved is attached to the free end of the robot arm—usually consisting of several arm parts connected in series and articulated to one another.
  • the robotic arm can move the parking base in many different ways than with the lifting and tipping devices described above.
  • the individual pivoting unit can preferably also include a level sensor, which is coupled to the controller and, when the liquid level in the glass or the foam standing on it reaches a certain level, relative, in particular to a reference point on the base body or the tilt -Base causes the lowering and/or pivoting back of the parking base, preferably depending on the changing filling level.
  • a level sensor which is coupled to the controller and, when the liquid level in the glass or the foam standing on it reaches a certain level, relative, in particular to a reference point on the base body or the tilt -Base causes the lowering and/or pivoting back of the parking base, preferably depending on the changing filling level.
  • a supply unit and/or discharge unit which can also be functionally combined, can be provided, which automatically delivers the correct glass from a glass store to the correct lifting and tipping device or picks it up. transported from there including parking or pick-up at/from the parking base.
  • the respective glass is supplied on one of the storage trays that match and are inserted into the storage base.
  • the storage base as the lowest part of the swivel station, is either in the lowered state standing up on the worktop or floating at a low height above the worktop, with the latter having the advantage that after swiveling up or raising the storage base the worktop underneath can be easily cleaned.
  • the storage base In the lower starting position, however, the storage base must be arranged so low that a storage plate sitting on the worktop can be retracted or pushed into the storage base of the lifting and tipping device.
  • the existing task is solved in that the pivoting station is designed as described above.
  • All side views show a dispensing station 200, usually consisting of several one behind the other in the viewing direction, but in this side view only one visible dispensing unit 100.1, 100.2 and a pivoting unit 1.1 arranged under each dispensing unit 100.1 .
  • each dispensing unit 100.1 comprises not only one outlet opening for a liquid F such as a beverage, but two closely adjacent outlet openings, eg 103.1a for non-alcoholic beverages, which are diagonally forward—the left one is forward in these side views Side on which the operator normally stands - and a vertically downwardly directed outlet opening 103.1b, which also usually has a larger cross section, for beer.

  • Each such dispensing unit 100.1 is assigned a pivoting unit 1.1 in the sense that a glass G standing in the pivoting unit 1.1 moves below the one or more from the vertical position and from the transverse direction Outlet openings 103 or 103.1a , 103.1b is that the beverage F flowing out of them flows into the glass G at least in the dispensing position--in which the vessel G is placed at an angle and usually also raised.
  • each pivoting unit i.e. here the first pivoting unit 1.1 shown in each case from a plurality of pivoting units one behind the other in the direction of view, comprises on the one hand a pivoting base 5b , which is usually attached to the dispensing station 200 , and on the other hand the hub -Tipping part 5a is pivotable about a pivot axis 5' which runs horizontally, the lifting-tilting part 5a extending downwards from the pivot axis 5' .
  • the lifting and tipping part 5a can be pivoted from the starting position in which the lifting and tipping part 5a mostly extends vertically downwards ( Figures 1a , 2a , 3a ) to a lower end forward, toward the operator side, pivoted position.
  • the lifting base 5b is part of a base body 2 and is firmly connected to it, in particular in one piece, with the base body 2 preferably comprising a closed housing in which the drive unit 3 with the one or more motors 6 and the controller 1 * are sheltered.
  • the lifting and tilting part 5a comprises on the one hand one or more guides 7, the upper end of which is attached to the tilting base 5b so that it can pivot about the pivot axis 5' , and a storage base 4 for the glass G, which can be of the drive unit 3 can be moved between a lowered, lower loading position and a raised filling position along the at least one guide.
  • the storage base 4 is L-shaped when viewed from the side, with a leg 4.1 that projects vertically upwards, which is guided along the at least one guide 7 and a leg that protrudes horizontally forwards at its lower end in the starting position Leg 4.2, the top of which forms the storage area 4a for storing the glass G on it.
  • the vertical leg is guided on the guide 7 via two guide shoes 4.1a, b , which are spaced apart in height and are connected to one another, on which on both sides of the vertical main plane 4", the vertical middle plane 5" - as in Figure 1c visible - one of two in the direction of the side views of the Figures 1a , 2a , 3a support rods 13a, b lying one behind the other and spaced apart from one another in this direction are clamped by means of clamping screws 16, which preferably pass over the height of the two guide shoes 4.1a, b .
  • the support rods 13a, b are designed as guide plates that are inclined to the central plane 4" , which form an open prism in the direction of projection of the horizontal leg 4.2, i.e. towards a glass G standing on it, and in the swiveled-up state a glass G resting against this glass support 13 center on the median plane 4" .
  • the outlet openings 103.1a and 103.1b are relatively far apart above the upper rim Go of the glass G, which is open at the top, since in this case it is a small glass G —here in the form of a beaker—with, for example, a filling volume of 0.3 liters .
  • the glass is moved upwards using the storage base 4a until according to Figure 2b the outlet opening is only just above the upper edge Go of the glass G or even dips into the glass G.

  • the glass support 13 can - how better in Figure 1c recognizable - be part of the guide 7 and be functionally combined with it, especially if the glass support 13 consists of two support rods 13a, b spaced apart in the viewing direction of the side views, on which the glass G is guided at its widest point - usually the upper edge Go - and then between them is also centered according to the median plane 5" of the lifting and tipping part 5a.
  • two opposite, lower glass supports in the form of a respective shoulder 4a1 also protrude from the storage surface 4a , which can also be connected to form a single shoulder, which prevents too strong an approach of the lower end of the glass G against the glass supports 13 , which usually extend over the entire height of the guide 7 , is prevented.
  • a glass support 13 is preferably fastened to it on both sides, in particular here in the form of support rods 13a, b arranged at an angle to one another in the form of a prism, which also cause the glass G to be centered on the longitudinal central plane 4" .
