Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a beverage supply device for receiving a beverage from a storage container and pouring the beverage into a drinking container. More specifically, the present invention relates to a so-called instantaneous cooling type beverage supply device in which a beverage delivered from a storage container is cooled and supplied on the spot by passing it through a beverage cooling pipe arranged in cooling water.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, beverage supply devices for cooling and supplying beverages such as beer have been disclosed in, for example, Utility Model Registration Publication No. 2
Various proposals have been made to No. 604791 (flashing type server for carbonated drinks) and the like. Generally, in this type of beverage supply device, a cooling pipe is provided in a cooling water tank and the beverage is passed through the cooling pipe. A cooling unit is provided to cool the cooling water in the cooling water tank. As a result, the beverage delivered from the storage container is cooled by the cooling water when passing through the cooling pipe and then poured into the drinking container.

[0003]

However, the above-mentioned conventional beverage supply device has a problem that the cooling water gradually increases. For this reason, an overflow pipe is attached near the upper end of the cooling water tank to guide excess cooling water to the drain pan. However, since the cooling water increased remarkably, it was necessary to discard the water accumulated in the drain pan at a fairly high frequency. Otherwise, water would overflow from the drain pan and pollute the surroundings.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the above-mentioned conventional techniques. That is, the problem is to provide an instantaneous cooling type beverage supply device that suppresses an increase in cooling water.

[0005]

The beverage supply device to which the present invention is applied has a cooling part and a mechanical part. The cooling unit has a water tank for containing cooling water, a beverage cooling pipe through which the beverage is passed and is placed in the water tank to cool the beverage, and a coolant is passed through the inside and is placed in the water tank to cool the cooling water. And an evaporation tube. The mechanical section includes a cooling unit that circulates a refrigerant through the evaporation pipe and a condensing fan that exhausts heat from the cooling unit. In this beverage supply device, the cooling unit circulates the refrigerant through the evaporation pipe to cool the cooling water in the water tank. In this state, the beverage delivered from the storage container is passed through the beverage cooling pipe. As a result, the beverage is supplied after being cooled by the cooling water. At this time, the cooling unit generates heat, but the condensing fan agitates the air in the mechanical section to discharge the heat.

In such a case, the present invention has an upper lid for closing the upper part of the cooling part and the mechanical part, and a partition plate for partitioning the cooling part and the mechanical part and having an upper end in contact with the upper cover. . This prevents the air flow from the mechanical section to the cooling section and suppresses the increase of cooling water. The cause of the increase in cooling water is the condensation in the cooling section. That is, various members in the cooling unit, such as the water tank, are in a cooled state. For this reason, the water vapor in the air in the cooling section is condensed into water droplets, and these water droplets flow into the water tank. Therefore, an increase in cooling water is unavoidable to some extent. However, when the exhaust hot air from the condensing fan flows into the cooling section from the mechanical section, the amount of cooling water increases significantly. This is because the exhaust hot air contains a lot of water vapor. Therefore, the present invention partitions the cooling section and the machine section by the upper lid and the partition plate. That is, by partitioning the cooling section and the machine section, an air flow from the machine section to the cooling section is prevented and an increase in cooling water is suppressed.

Alternatively, in the present invention, the cooling section is shielded from the outside of the apparatus and the exterior plate having no ventilation port is provided. In this way, the exhaust hot air from the condensing fan has no destination even if it flows from the mechanical section to the cooling section. Therefore, the air flow from the mechanical section to the cooling section is suppressed. In addition, exchange of air between the cooling unit and the outside of the device is also prevented. This also contributes to the suppression of the increase in cooling water. Here, the exterior plate may extend over both the cooling section and the machine section, and in that case, the section covering the machine section may have a ventilation port.

Alternatively, in the present invention, an upper lid that closes the cooling section and the upper section of the machine section, a partition plate that separates the cooling section and the machine section from each other, and an upper lid that is provided below the partition plate separately from the upper section of the machine section. It is decided to have a cover that covers the machine and shuts off the mechanical section and the cooling section together with the partition plate. This also suppresses the air flow from the mechanical section to the cooling section. Moreover, even when the upper lid is opened and maintenance of the cooling unit is performed, water or the like is not splashed on the machine unit. Here, "covering the upper part of the machine part only" means
It means that the cover covers the mechanical part but not the cooling part.

Alternatively, in the present invention, a partition plate for partitioning the cooling unit and the machine unit, and a side plate of the device covering the cooling unit and the machine unit, and an exterior plate fixed to the partition plate are provided. . This also suppresses the air flow from the mechanical section to the cooling section. This is because if the exterior plate is not fixed to the partition plate, a gap is inevitably formed between the partition plate and the exterior plate due to the bending of the exterior plate. The airflow from the mechanical section to the cooling section through this gap cannot be ignored. This problem is particularly noticeable in the exterior plate on the side having a notch for passing a hose for receiving the beverage from the storage container. This is because the rigidity of the exterior plate tends to be insufficient due to the notch.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments embodying the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The present embodiment embodies the present invention as a device for supplying carbonated drinks such as beer.

As shown in the schematic view of FIG. 1, a beverage supply device 1 is connected to a beverage tank 2 for storing a beverage such as beer via a fitting 3 and a beverage hose 8. Further, carbon dioxide gas is supplied from the carbon dioxide gas cylinder 5 to the beverage tank 2 through the fitting 3, and the pressure thereof causes the beverage in the beverage tank 2 to be pushed out into the beverage hose 8. In addition, as shown in the schematic side cross-sectional view of FIG. 2 (viewed from the right side in FIG. 1), the main body 15 of the beverage supply device 1 includes a cooling chamber 14 in which a water tank 17 for storing cooling water 16 is provided. , And a machine room 19 provided with a compressor 18 and a condensing fan 29. Cooling chamber 14
And the upper surface of the machine room 19 has a first lid member 21 and a second lid member 21.
It is closed by the lid member 22. The first lid member 21 is
It forms the outer surface of the upper portion of the main body 15 and covers both the cooling chamber 14 and the machine chamber 19. The second lid member 22 is
It is located immediately below the first lid member 21 and covers only the machine room 19. A partition plate 13 is provided between the cooling chamber 14 and the machine chamber 19 near the first lid member 21. The upper end of the partition plate 13 has a second lid member 22.
It is in close contact with the end of. As a result, the cooling chamber 14
The machine room 19 is partitioned.

The cooling chamber 14 and its surroundings will be described. Inside the water tank 17, an evaporation pipe 23 made of copper, which constitutes a part of the refrigeration cycle together with the compressor 18, is arranged. The evaporation pipe 23 is one in which a refrigerant is circulated. That is, the surrounding cooling water is cooled by the heat of vaporization when the refrigerant evaporates inside the evaporation pipe 23.
As a result, the cooling water is cooled to the extent that ice is formed around the evaporation pipe 23. The evaporation pipe 23 is formed in a spiral shape and is fixed by a fitting 24. Inside the water tank 17, a beverage cooling pipe 26 through which the beverage supplied from the beverage hose 8 passes is also arranged. Beverage cooling pipe 2
6 is formed in a spiral shape like the evaporation pipe 23,
The diameter of the spiral is smaller than that of the evaporation tube 23. Therefore, the beverage cooling pipe 26 is located inside the spiral of the evaporation pipe 23 and is fixed by the fixture 27. A pouring cock 28 for pouring the beverage cooled by passing through the beverage cooling pipe 26 into the drinking container is provided on the front surface of the main body 15.

A stirring motor 31 is arranged near the upper end of the cooling chamber 14. The rotating shaft 32 of the stirring motor 31 is located substantially at the center of the spiral of the beverage cooling pipe 26, and the lower end thereof is located at a height approximately half the depth of the water tank 17. A propeller 33 is attached to the lower end of the rotary shaft 32. As a result, the cooling water 16 in the water tank 17
It is designed to cause a descending water flow in the center.
A cooling pump 35 is mounted slightly above the propeller 33. The cooling pump 35 is for sending a part of the cooling water 16 to the sleeve portion in the beverage hose 8 for precooling the beverage. Therefore, as shown in the schematic front sectional view of FIG. 3, in the vicinity of the upper surface of the water tank 17, the cooling hose 8 is discharged from the cooling pump 35 in addition to the pipe joint 42 that connects the beverage tube 43 to the beverage cooling pipe 26. There are provided a cooling water delivery pipe 44 for passing the cooling water, a pipe joint 46 for connecting the cooling water tube 45 in the beverage hose 8 to the cooling water delivery pipe 44, and the like. Thereby, the cooling water sent to the cooling water tube 45 in the drinking hose 8 is
Is sent to the end on the fitting 3 side, and is returned there to pass through the sleeve portion in the beverage hose 8 and return to the water tank 17. In addition, a net member 37 that covers the cooling pump 35 and the propeller 33 is arranged in the water tank 17. As a result, even if a part of the ice around the evaporation pipe 23 is peeled off, the ice block still remains in the cooling pump 35 or propeller
I try not to hit 3.

A drain pan 40 is removably provided below the pouring cock 28. A drainboard 39 is disposed on the upper end surface of the drain pan 40. Further, an overflow pipe 83 for guiding overflow water from the vicinity of the upper edge of the water tank 17 to the drain pan 40 is provided. As a result, the cooling water 16 in the water tank 17
The extra cooling water 16 in the case where the amount of water increases is accommodated in the drain pan 40. In addition to this, the drain pan 40 also stores the beverage that has been poured from the pouring cock 28 and overflowed from the drinking container. A drain pipe 41 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 17 for discharging all the cooling water 16 during maintenance or the like.

The machine room 19 will be described. Machine room 19
The compressor 18 installed in the lower part of the
The refrigerant is circulated inside. That is, the evaporation tube 2
The gaseous refrigerant is collected from the compressor 3, compressed and liquefied, and then returned to the evaporation pipe 23. The condensing fan 29 provided above the compressor 18 produces an upward airflow in the machine chamber 19. By this air flow,
The exhaust heat from the compressor 18 is promoted. This is because the heat generated by the compressor 18 cannot be ignored. In order to make this air flow smooth, a large number of vent holes 25 are formed in the side surface portion of the exterior cabinet 20 of the main body 15 at a position corresponding to the machine room 19. The ventilation holes 25
Is formed only in the part corresponding to the machine room 19,
It is not formed in the portion corresponding to the cooling chamber 14.

Next, the first lid member 21 forming the outer surface of the upper portion of the main body 15 of the beverage supply device 1 will be described. As shown in the plan view and the side view of FIG. 4, the first lid member 21 includes a substantially rectangular flat plate portion 21A and a peripheral edge portion 21B around the flat plate portion 21A.
It consists of and. The edge portion 21B is the first lid member 2
In the state in which 1 is attached to the main body 15, it faces downward with respect to the flat plate portion 21A. A shoulder portion 21C between the flat plate portion 21A and the edge portion 21B has a radius R of about 3 mm. The vertical dimension of the first lid member 21 in FIG. 4 corresponds to the overall depth of the main body 15 of the beverage supply device 1 in the front-rear direction. However, the spout cock 28, the drain pan 40, etc. are excluded. That is, the first lid member 21 covers both the cooling chamber 14 and the machine chamber 19.

Next, the second lid member 22 located immediately below the first lid member 21 will be described. As shown in the plan view of FIG. 5, the second lid member 22 is a substantially rectangular flat plate. The dimension of the second lid member 22 in the vertical direction in FIG. 5 corresponds to the depth from the upper end of the partition plate 13 to the back surface in the front-back direction of the main body 15 of the beverage supply device 1. That is, the first
The lid member 21 does not cover the cooling chamber 14 but only the machine chamber 19. The size of the second lid member 22 in the left-right direction in FIG. 5 is set to fit within the first lid member 21.
Holes 22A and 22B for screwing are formed at four positions near the edge of the second lid member 22. Hole 22 of them
A and 22A are located near the lower end of the second lid member 22 in FIG.

Next, the partition plate 13 for partitioning the cooling chamber 14 and the machine chamber 19 will be described. FIG. 6 is a side view (FIG. 1
(Viewed from the middle right), the partition plate 13 includes a top portion 13A, a partition portion 13B, a first side portion 13C,
The tank upper portion 13D, the tank wall portion 13E, the fan mounting portion 13F, the second side portion 13G, and the rear end portion 13H are provided. The partition plate 13 having such a shape is obtained by pressing a thin plate.

The top portion 13A is a portion which is brought into close contact with the second lid member 22. Therefore, the top part 13A has
As shown in the plan view of FIG. 7 (view from above in FIG. 2),
Holes 13A1 and 13A1 for screwing are formed.
These are holes that are screwed together with the holes 22A and 22A of the second lid member 22. The partition 13B is a water tank 17
Is a portion that substantially partitions the cooling chamber 14 and the machine chamber 19 above. As shown in the rear view of FIG. 8 (viewed from the right side in FIG. 2), the partition 13B has a through hole 13
B1 is formed. The through hole 13B1 is provided in the cooling chamber 14
And a machine room 19 are holes for passing necessary wiring cords and pipes. The first side portion 13C is a portion that is brought into close contact with the side surface portion of the exterior cabinet 20 of the main body 15 above the water tank 17. For this reason, as shown in the side view of FIG. 6, holes 13C1 and 13C1 for screwing are formed in the first side portion 13C. Upper part of tank 1
3D is a portion in contact with the upper surface of the water tank 17. Tank wall 1
3E is a portion in contact with the back surface of the water tank 17. The fan attachment portion 13F is a portion for attaching the condensing fan 29 behind the water tank 17. Therefore, the fan mounting part 1
As shown in the plan view of FIG. 7, the fan mounting hole 1
3F1 is formed. The second side portion 13G is a portion that is brought into close contact with the side surface portion of the exterior cabinet 20 of the main body 15 behind the water tank 17. For this reason, as shown in the side view of FIG. 6, a hole 13G1 for screwing is formed in the second side portion 13G. The rear end portion 13H is a portion that is brought into close contact with the back surface portion of the exterior cabinet 20 of the main body 15 behind the water tank 17.

Next, the exterior cabinet 20 of the main body 15 will be described. As shown in the side view of FIG. 9 (viewed from the right side in FIG. 1), a large number of vent holes are provided in the upper right region (upward rearward) in FIG. 25 are formed. These vents 25
The position where is formed is a position corresponding to the machine room 19. More specifically, the position is behind the partition portion 13B of the partition plate 13 and above the fan mounting portion 13F. No vent hole is formed in the portion corresponding to the cooling chamber 14. Also, in the upper left of Fig. 9 (upward from the front)
A U-shaped notch 20 </ b> A that is open upward is formed in the. The U-shaped notch 20A is a notch for passing the beverage hose 8. A hole 20B for screwing is formed around the U-shaped notch 20A. further,
Area where the vent hole 25 is formed and U-shaped notch 20A
Between the position where the
C and 20C are formed. These are holes screwed together with the holes 13C1 and 13C1 of the first side portion 13C of the partition plate 13. Further, a screw hole 20D is also formed below the region where the vent hole 25 is formed. This is a hole that is screwed together with the hole 13G1 of the second side portion 13G of the partition plate 13. Although FIG. 9 shows the right side surface of the exterior cabinet 20, the left side surface also has the same configuration except for the U-shaped notch 20A and the hole 20B around it.

In the beverage supply device 1 constituted by these parts, the cooling chamber 14 and the machine chamber 19 are shut off from each other by various matters described below. That is, the air flow in the machine room 19 due to the condensing fan 29 does not enter the cooling room 14. This will be explained below.

First, the upper end of the partition plate 13 and the second lid member 2
The point that the front end of 2 is in close contact is mentioned. That is,
The second lid member 22 is provided and the partition plate 13 is provided with a second
A top portion 13A that is in close contact with the front end of the lid member 22 is provided. Then, the holes 22A and the holes 13A1 are fixed by screws so that they are closely attached without any gap. By this,
In the conventional case, the gap G (see FIG. 10) which is always present due to the shoulder R of the upper lid 21 is eliminated. The through hole 13B1 of the partition plate 13 is closed by a grommet 84 as shown in FIG. That is, the wiring cords 86, the grommet 84
The grommet 84 is attached to the through hole 13B1 by bundling the diaphragm portion with a pinch string 85 and passing it through. The remaining gap is covered with putty. For this reason, there is no passage for the air flow from the condensing fan 29 to enter the cooling chamber 14.

Second, the ventilation hole 2 of the exterior cabinet 20.
5 is provided only in the machine room 19 and not in the cooling room 14. Therefore, even if the airflow enters the cooling chamber 14, there is no escape. Therefore, even if there is a gap, almost no airflow actually enters the cooling chamber 14. In this way, by eliminating the gap and blocking the loophole,
The airflow as shown by the bold arrows that existed in the past (FIG. 12 (when viewed from above) and FIG. 13 (when viewed from the side)) is eliminated. Therefore, all the airflow that has risen in the machine room 19 by the aggregating fan 29 exits from the machine through the ventilation holes 25 in the machine room 19. In addition, not providing the ventilation hole 25 in the cooling chamber 14 also prevents outside air from entering the cooling chamber 14 from outside the machine. The exhaust heat of the compressor 18 in the machine room 19 is sufficient even with the vent holes 25 in the machine room 19.

Thirdly, the side surface of the exterior cabinet 20 is fixed to the side edge of the partition plate 13.
That is, the partition plate 13 has a first side portion 13C and a second side portion 13C.
A side portion 13G is provided. And the first side part 1
The holes 13C1 and 13C1 of 3C and the holes 20C and 20C of the exterior cabinet 20 are screwed. Similarly, the second
The hole 13G1 of the side portion 13G and the hole 20D of the exterior cabinet 20 are screwed together. As a result, the partition plate 1
The side portion of the exterior cabinet 20 is fixed to the side edge of the outer casing 3. Therefore, the gap S between the exterior cabinet 20 and the water tank 17, which is conventionally present because the exterior cabinet 20 tends to bulge outward (see FIG. 1).
4 (viewed from above) is excluded (viewed from above in FIG. 15). Therefore, the airflow does not enter the cooling chamber 14 from the machine room 19 through the gap S. In particular, on the side with the U-shaped cutout 20A, that is, on the right side surface of the exterior cabinet 20, the rigidity is low and the gap S tends to be large compared to the left side surface, which is a problem.

As described in detail above, in the beverage supply device 1 according to the present embodiment, the second lid member 22 is provided and its front end is brought into close contact with the upper end of the partition plate 13. Further, a grommet 84 is provided in the through hole 13B1 of the partition plate 13. This completely separates the machine room 19 and the cooling room 14. Further, the cooling chamber 14 is not provided with the vent hole 25. This intentionally deteriorates the air permeability of the cooling chamber 14. Further, the partition plate 13 is provided with the first side portion 13C and the second side portion 13G, and the side surface of the exterior cabinet 20 is fixed thereto. With these measures, the cooling chamber 14 is brought into a state of being almost airtight,
We try to prevent the exchange of air with the outside. Therefore, the air flow from the condensing fan 29 in the machine room 19 hardly enters the cooling room 14. Further, the atmosphere outside the machine hardly enters the cooling chamber 14.

This has the remarkable effect that the cooling water 16 in the water tank 17 does not increase so much. This is because the components such as the pipe joint 42 and the pipe joint 46, which are arranged in the cooling chamber 14 especially above the water tank 17, are in a cooled state. For this reason, if the airflow from the condensing fan 29 or the outside air rushes into here, dew condensation will occur. The resulting water droplets flow into the water tank 17 and become part of the cooling water 16. In this embodiment, the cooling chamber 14 is isolated from the surroundings to minimize the increase of the cooling water 16.

Further, the above-mentioned various measures have the following effects. First, as an effect of providing the second lid member 22, it can be mentioned that the machine room 19 is doubly covered by the first lid member 21 and the second lid member 22. Therefore, the machine chamber 19 is covered with the second lid member 22 even when the first lid member 21 is removed for replacement of the beverage hose 8 or other maintenance work. Therefore, during maintenance work, liquid such as water is not splashed on the compressor 18 and the condensing fan 29 in the machine room 19. Therefore, there are few causes of failure.

Next, as an effect of fixing the side surface portion of the exterior cabinet 20 to the side end of the partition plate 13, it is possible to easily attach the beverage hose 8. This is because there is almost no deformation of the side surface portion of the exterior cabinet 20. The work of attaching the beverage hose 8 is performed as shown in FIG. First, the grommet 87 shown in FIG. 17 is attached near the end of the beverage hose 8 on the beverage supply device 1 side. Then, the groove 87A of the grommet 87 is inserted into the U-shaped notch 20A of the exterior cabinet 20 (upper part of FIG. 16). Then, after connecting the ends of the beverage hose 8, the pressing plate 88 is pushed along the groove 87A of the grommet 87 and fitted into the inside of the exterior cabinet 20 (the middle stage of FIG. 16). Finally, the hole 20B is screwed to fix the pressing plate 88 (lower part of FIG. 16). Here, if the side surface portion of the exterior cabinet 20 is deformed as shown in FIG. 14, it is difficult to insert the grommet 87 into the U-shaped notch 20A. In this embodiment,
Since the side portion of the exterior cabinet 20 is hardly deformed, the work of inserting the grommet 87 is easy.

The present embodiment is merely an example and does not limit the present invention. Therefore, naturally, the present invention can be variously improved and modified without departing from the gist thereof. For example, as a means for fixing the side edge of the partition plate 13 to the side surface portion of the exterior cabinet 20, rivet fixing, spot welding, or the like may be used instead of screwing if it is not disassembled thereafter.

[0030]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, there is provided an instantaneous cooling type beverage supply device in which an increase in cooling water is suppressed. As a result, the frequency of draining water from the drain pan is reduced compared to the conventional one. It also improves the protection of the machine part during maintenance and the workability of installing the beverage hose.
