  As described above, the beverage automatic pouring device is pouring so as to suppress excessive foaming of the effervescent beverage such as beer into a container such as a glass or a jug, and the effervescent beverage above the container such as a glass or a jug. The purpose is to automatically dispense fine bubbles. On the other hand, in foreign countries such as Germany and the Czech Republic, it is known to pour beer into a container such as a glass, which is divided into three times while whipping beer, so-called three times pouring. Three times pouring is done by pouring beer into a container such as a standing glass or jug from a high position so that the beer is foamed, and by waiting for about 2 minutes, the coarse foam at the top of the container disappears and the glass becomes about half, The beer is slowly poured into the container in two times so that the beer foam does not rise from the upper edge of the container. It is known that when the beer is poured out by this three-time pouring, the carbon dioxide gas contained in the beer is reduced, the bitterness of the beer is improved, and the flavor of the beer is changed. This 3 times pouring is troublesome because the beer is intentionally whisked or not whisked, so beer can only be tasted deliciously unless you are an expert. Or, the waiting time after pouring the beer into the first time was long. For this reason, there is a problem in that the work efficiency of the staff of the restaurant decreases because the staff of the restaurant cannot perform other work until the beer has finished pouring out the beer. An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic beverage dispenser capable of pouring a sparkling beverage such as beer three times.

  The memory of the control device 60 stores an automatic pouring program for the sparkling beverage, and the pouring condition of the automatic pouring program can be set according to the type of the sparkling beverage such as a container such as a glass or a jug or beer. Has become. In addition, the automatic pouring program is the first automatic pouring program that automatically pours out in order to prevent the effervescent beverage such as beer from excessively frothing in the container such as a glass or a jug, and the inside of the container such as a glass or a jug. It has a second automatic pouring program that automatically pours out three or more times including intentionally whipping effervescent beverages such as beer. The first and second automatic pouring programs are It is selectable by the user.

  First, a first automatic pouring program for pouring beer so that it does not foam will be described. When the jug is placed on the pedestal 42b and the first automatic pouring program is executed, the control device 60 causes the pedestal tilting device 50 to tilt the tilting substrate 41 from the upright position to the tilted position and mounts it on the pedestal 42. The jug is tilted and the cock operating device 30 opens the valve mechanism portion 21a of the pouring cock 20 in the liquid open state. The beer in the beverage container T is cooled when passing through the beverage cooling pipe 15, and is poured from the liquid dispensing nozzle 23b along the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the inclined jug. At this time, the beer in a liquid state poured out from the liquid pouring nozzle 23b flows down along the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the jug, so that the beer is poured out so as not to foam in the jug. Thereafter, the control device 60 returns the tilting substrate 41 from the tilted posture to the standing posture by the cradle tilting device 50 to stand up the jug placed on the cradle 42, and the beer in the liquid state of 70 to 80% is erected on the standing jug. When the liquid is poured out, the cock operating device 30 opens the valve mechanism portion 21a of the pouring cock 20 in the liquid open state through the stop state and then opens in the foam open state. When 10 to 20% of beer in a foam state is poured onto the upper portion of the standing jug, the control device 60 causes the cock operating device 30 to return the valve mechanism portion 21a of the pouring cock 20 from the foam open state to the stopped state. The first automatic dispensing program ends.

  Next, a second automatic pouring program for pouring beer in a frothing manner will be described. The second automatic pouring program, which will be explained below, automatically pours effervescent beverages such as beer in a liquid state into 3 times in a container such as a glass or jug, and finally, effervescent the effervescent beverage once in a foam state. It is something to be poured out. As shown in FIG. 5A, when the jug is placed on the pedestal 42b and the second automatic pouring program is executed, the control device 60 causes the cock operating device 30 to perform the first liquid pouring. The valve mechanism portion 21a of the pouring cock 20 is opened for 4 seconds as the first pouring time ta1 in the liquid open state for pouring. The beer in the beverage container T is cooled when passing through the beverage cooling pipe 15, and is directly poured from the liquid dispensing nozzle 23b to the bottom of the jug. At this time, the beer in the liquid state poured out from the liquid pouring nozzle 23b directly flows down to the bottom portion of the jug, and thus the beer foams in the jug. The controller 60 tilts the tilting substrate 41 from the upright position to the tilted position by the container tilting device 50 to tilt the jug placed on the pedestal 42b, and in this state waits for 1 minute as the first waiting time tw1. The beer frothed in the jug has a large air contact area due to the inclined jug, and the carbonic acid and excess bitterness components contained in the beer are easily released during the first waiting time tw1. In addition, about half of the beer bubbles whipped in the mug disappears in the first waiting time tw1.

  The controller 60 uses the cock operating device 30 as the second liquid pour after the first liquid pour, and the valve mechanism 21a of the pour cock 20 is in the liquid open state for the second pour time ta2. When the beer in a liquid state is poured and opened for a second, the liquid beer flows down from the liquid pouring nozzle 23b along the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the inclined jug. The foamed beer bubbles during the first liquid pouring are lifted by the beer poured along the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the jug during the second liquid pouring. The controller 60 waits for 5 seconds as the second waiting time tw2 after the second liquid pouring so that the bubbles of beer generated during the second liquid pouring are calmed down.

  The controller 60 uses the cock operating device 30 as the third liquid pour after the second liquid pour, and the valve mechanism 21a of the pour cock 20 is in the liquid open state for the third pour time ta3 for 2 seconds. When it is opened and poured out, the beer in the liquid state flows down from the liquid pouring nozzle 23b along the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the inclined jug. The foamed beer foam in the first liquid pouring is lifted by the beer poured along the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the jug even in the third liquid pouring. Since the waiting time tw3 at the time of the third liquid pouring is set to 0, in the third liquid pouring, immediately after the beer in the liquid state is poured, the first foam pouring is immediately performed. To do.

  After the third liquid pouring, the control device 60 returns the tilting substrate 41 from the tilted posture to the standing posture by the container tilting device 50 and raises the jug placed on the pedestal 42b, and as the first bubble pouring, the cock is used. The valve mechanism 21a of the pouring cock 20 is opened by the operating device 30 for 2 seconds as the fourth pouring time tb1 in the foam open state for pouring. The beer in the foam state is poured out from the foaming nozzle 23a to the upper side of the foam of beer generated during the first to third liquid pouring in the jug, and the beer in the foam state is muged on the upper part of the jug. The bubbles that are finer than the bubbles generated during the first to third liquid pouring are placed on the upper part of the jug. In addition, when performing the first liquid dispensing of the second automatic dispensing program, the tilting substrate 41 of the container pedestal device 40 is set in the standing posture to stand up the jug, but the brand of beer that easily foams is poured out. In some cases, the container tilting device 50 may tilt the tilting substrate 41 in a gently tilted attitude in which it tilts more gently than the tilted attitude.

  Next, a method for setting the dispensing condition of the second automatic dispensing program will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, the second automatic pouring program, which will be described below, automatically pours beer in a liquid state in four times, i.e., 1st liquid pouring to 4th liquid pouring, After being poured in a liquid state, beer is automatically poured once in a foam state. Further, each of the first to fourth liquid pouring is a set of inclination of the tilting substrate 41, pouring of beer in a liquid state, and standby, and the first foam pouring is The tilting substrate 41 is tilted and the beer is poured into a foam state as a set.

It is used as each of the pouring conditions θ2, θ3, ta2, ta3, tw2, tw3.

  In the beverage automatic pouring device 10 configured as described above, the second automatic pouring program causes the cock operating device 30 to open the valve mechanism portion 21a twice or more in the liquid open state in three times. The beer in a liquid state (the amount of effervescent drink) was made into two or more times and divided into three times to be poured into the jug (container). As a result, it becomes possible to automatically perform a so-called pouring such as three-time pouring, and the restaurant clerk can perform other work while pouring beer in the so-called three-time pouring. It was possible to prevent the work efficiency of the clerk from decreasing. Further, since beer can be automatically poured out by so-called three-time pouring, it is possible to provide so-called three-time pouring beer even without a clerk having a skilled technique.

  In the second automatic pouring program, when the cock operating device 30 opens the valve mechanism portion 21a of the pouring cock 20 for the first time in the liquid open state, the tilting substrate 41 is set in the standing posture or the container tilting device 50 tilts the substrate. 41 is tilted in a gently tilted position in which it is tilted more gently than in the tilted position, and is poured out so as to foam. As a result, when the valve operating portion 21a of the pouring cock 20 was poured out for the first time by the cock operating device 30 in the liquid open state, beer could be intentionally bubbled. Further, when pouring beer of a brand that easily foams, by tilting the tilting substrate 41 by the container tilting device 50 in a gentle tilted position that is tilted more gently than the tilted position, the foam when the beer is first poured out. Could be adjusted to the proper amount.

  In addition, in the second automatic pouring program, after the beer was poured so as to foam in the mug for the first time, the pedestal tilting device 50 tilted the tilting substrate 41 to the tilted posture to tilt the mug. It is temporarily waiting in the state. By doing this, the beer in the froth state that has been frothed in the mug can come into contact with a large amount of air, and the waiting time after the first beer is poured to froth it in the mug is shortened. Is now possible.

  In the beverage automatic pouring device 10, in the second automatic pouring program, each opening time when the valve mechanism portion 21a is opened four times (two times or more) in the liquid open state by the cock operating device 30, Each waiting time during which the valve mechanism 21a is opened four times (two times or more) in the liquid open state by the cock operating device 30, and the pouring cock is four times (two times or more) in the liquid open state. It is possible to set each inclination angle of the tilting substrate 41 when it is opened by). Further, in this second automatic pouring program, it is possible to set the opening time when the cock operating device 30 opens the valve mechanism portion 21a in the foam open state. By making it possible to set each pouring condition in this way, it is possible to perform automatic pouring according to the shape of the glass or jug when pouring beer and the brand (type) of beer. It was
