Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for removing a liquid from a container, which has a liquid section for holding a liquid, preferably a drink, and a gas section for holding a propellant gas, preferably carbon dioxide, with a gas valve section on the container side.
- the invention also relates to a system comprising such a container and a mounted device for removing the liquid from the container.
- kegs Various types of containers are used for the transport and storage of liquids, in particular beverages such as beer, soft drinks and the like, for example reusable kegs such as so-called "kegs".
- the mostly cylindrical barrels have a valve in the center on the upper side, which can be connected to a dispensing system for drawing off the liquid.
- the dispensing system includes a dispensing head that feeds a propellant gas (mostly carbon dioxide) into the keg.
- a propellant gas mostly carbon dioxide
- the propellant gas creates an overpressure in the barrel, which means that when the tap is opened, the contents are pushed out through a tube inside the barrel and can thus be tapped or removed. Since part of the propellant gas always escapes when the liquid is drawn off, which in the If carbon dioxide-containing beverages and, for example, foam formation in beer are absolutely desirable, propellant gas must be added from an external container during the course of the liquid withdrawal. Barrels and dispensing systems of this type emerge, for example, from EP 3447024 A1 and DE 601 15023 T2.
- the provision of the propellant gas requires that a separate gas container, such as a gas bottle, must be connected to the gas supply of the dispensing head via a pressure reducing valve.
- a separate gas container such as a gas bottle
- an additional chamber for the propellant gas can be provided in the barrel by means of a partition, as can be seen from DE 201 15 158 U1.
- One advantage of integrated propellant gas containers is that the dispensing head can be installed quickly and easily, since there is no need to connect a propellant gas container separately. However, it can happen that the gas connection is not reliably made or is not reliably maintained due to manufacturing tolerances, for example due to a slight change in the curvature of the top of the barrel in the course of the spigot, so that gas can inadvertently escape despite any sealing precautions or a defect in the gas connection is the result .
- one object of the invention is to improve the applicability and reliability of a device for withdrawing a liquid from a container.
- the object is achieved with a device with the features of claim 1 and a system with the features of the quasi-independent claim 11.
- the device also referred to herein as a “removal device”, is used to remove a liquid from a container which has a liquid section for receiving a liquid and a gas section for receiving a propellant gas.
- liquids are beverages, such as, for example, water, beer, soft drinks, sparkling wine, wine, mixed drinks or the like.
- the propellant gas can be present as liquid gas in the gas section.
- the propellant gas preferably carbon dioxide, serves for any enrichment of the liquid and to support the transport of the liquid out of the container by putting the liquid section under pressure.
- the container has a gas valve section on the container side, which is used to remove the propellant gas from the gas section.
- the gas section and the liquid section are preferably provided as separate chambers in the container.
- the container itself is, for example, a barrel, preferably a reusable barrel.
- the device according to the invention has an assembly section which is set up in order to realize a mechanical and functional connection of the device to the container in an assembled state.
- the assembly section can be shaped and set up in such a way that the removal device is mounted or mountable on the upper portion of the container, for example on the lid of a possible barrel. In this way, the removal device forms, so to speak, a modular floor, which makes the overall system of container and removal device particularly compact can be designed and the assembly of the removal device can be carried out easily.
- the removal device therefore does not have to encompass the entire container or large parts of it.
- the assembly section can be part of a housing of the removal device or form such a housing.
- the assembly section is preferably set up in such a way that assembly is only possible in a well-defined position and orientation in order to ensure correct connection to a liquid / gas valve section of the container and to the gas valve section on the container side.
- the device according to the invention furthermore has a gas valve section on the extraction side which, in the assembled state, is connected to the gas valve portion on the container side in such a way that they jointly form a gas passage which enables the propellant gas to be extracted from the gas section.
- the gas valve section on the withdrawal side is designed to be movable, preferably pivotable.
- the mobility can be seen relative to stationary sections of the removal device or of the container in the assembled state, such as relative to the assembly section or housing of the removal device.
- the gas valve section on the removal side is set up to be movable by a certain amount, manufacturing tolerances that occur when the container and / or the removal device are in the free position can be compensated for. This ensures a gas-tight and reliable connection. Furthermore, inaccuracies in the assembly of the extraction device as well as any changes in the shape and nature of the container wall in particular can be compensated for during the use of the extraction device, so that there is always a reliable coupling of the container-side gas valve section to the extraction-side gas valve section is present without a leak or a defect in the gas valve.

- the removal device 20 also connects the gas valve section 14 on the container side to a gas part of the liquid / gas valve section 15, whereby propellant gas can be supplied to the liquid section 11 if necessary, preferably during each removal process by actuating a dispensing actuator 21 of the removal device 20
- a dispensing actuator 21 of the removal device 20 In the present exemplary embodiment, it is a lever, but it can also be a switch, a button on a display, a rotary knob or the like.
- the extraction device 20 also connects a liquid part of the liquid / gas valve section 15 to a nozzle 22 of the extraction device 20.
