  By the way, there exists one with which several currants are attached in order to provide the grain-like sparkling drink of different liquid types in one drink extraction apparatus. In this beverage pouring device, the interval between adjacent curans is set wide so that the grain-like sparkling beverage can be easily poured from each currant. In restaurants and other places where such beverage dispensing devices are installed, when providing cereal-based sparkling beverages, cereal-based sparkling beverages of different varieties, etc., are poured out from each currant and cereals of different varieties are used. There are cases where a mixture of a sparkling beverage is provided. In this case, first, the liquid of the first type of cereal sparkling beverage is poured out, then the liquid of the second type of cereal type sparkling beverage is poured out, and finally, either the first or second type of cereal sparkling beverage The foam is poured out.

  Here, when the grain-type sparkling beverages to be mixed have different colors, the design can be enhanced and the palatability can be enhanced if two types of foam can be poured out in the same manner as the liquid. However, if the second foam is poured after the first foam is poured out, the second foam flows into the stationary first foam, so the first foam and the second foam It is stirred so that the body is agitated. As a result, the first type foam and the second type foam are completely mixed, and the foam formed on the liquid surface is a color that combines the colors of the foams of each liquid type, The contrast of the foam of each liquid type does not appear.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a beverage dispensing member set, a beverage dispensing apparatus, and a beverage that can be dispensed without completely mixing the foams of cereal-based sparkling beverages of different liquid types. .

  The beverage pouring member set according to the present invention is a beverage pouring set used in a beverage pouring device for pouring sparkling beverages of different liquid types into beverage containers, and pouring the foam of the first sparkling beverage A first foam nozzle, and a second foam nozzle for pouring out the foam of the second sparkling beverage, the first foam nozzle and the second foam nozzle, Are close together.

  According to the beverage dispensing member set according to the present invention, since the first foam nozzle and the second foam nozzle are close to each other, the first foam beverage foam and the second foam beverage The foam can be poured out simultaneously. Thereby, since the moment when pouring the foam of the first sparkling beverage and the moment when pouring the foam of the second sparkling beverage try to cancel each other, the foaming of the first sparkling beverage Mixing of the body and the foam of the second sparkling beverage can be suppressed. That is, the foams of sparkling beverages of different liquid types can be poured out without being completely mixed. For this reason, the contrast of the foam of the first sparkling beverage and the foam of the second sparkling beverage is made different by changing the color of the foam of the first sparkling beverage and the foam of the second sparkling beverage. Can be expressed, and can enhance design and enhance palatability.

  In this case, the pitch between the first foam nozzle and the second foam nozzle may be 4.0 cm or greater and 9.0 cm or less. By arranging the first foam nozzle and the second foam nozzle in this way, the first foam nozzle and the second foam nozzle are secured while securing the installation space. The foam of the sparkling beverage and the foam of the second sparkling beverage can be poured out simultaneously.

  In addition, a first dispensing lever for dispensing the foam from the first foam nozzle, and a second dispensing lever for dispensing the foam from the second foam nozzle, At least a part of the first dispensing lever and at least a part of the second dispensing lever may extend in directions close to each other. In this way, by extending at least a part of the first dispensing lever and at least a part of the second dispensing lever in a direction close to each other, the first dispensing lever and the second dispensing lever are Since it becomes easy to operate simultaneously, it can be made easy to simultaneously pour the foam of the first sparkling beverage and the foam of the second sparkling beverage.

  In addition, a first dispensing lever for dispensing the foam from the first foam nozzle, and a second dispensing lever for dispensing the foam from the second foam nozzle, The first dispensing lever and the second dispensing lever may be connected. Thus, by connecting the first and second dispensing levers, the first and second dispensing levers are integrally operated. Simultaneous pouring of the foam of the sparkling beverage and the foam of the second sparkling beverage can be performed reliably.

  The flow resistance of the first foam nozzle and the flow resistance of the second foam nozzle can be different. Thus, by making the flow resistance of the first foam nozzle different from the flow resistance of the second foam nozzle, the flow rate of the foam dispensed from the first foam nozzle and the second Since the flow rate of the foam poured out from the foam nozzle can be made different, the ratio of the foam of the first sparkling beverage and the foam of the second sparkling beverage can be changed.

  In addition, when the color of the foam poured out from the first foam nozzle is darker than the color of the foam poured out from the second foam nozzle, the flow resistance of the first foam nozzle However, it can be larger than the flow resistance of the second foam nozzle. Thus, by setting the flow resistance of the first foam nozzle and the second foam nozzle, the ratio of the light-colored foam can be made larger than the ratio of the dark-colored foam. . Thereby, since contrast of a foam can be made to stand out, design nature can be raised further and palatability can be raised.

  Moreover, the flow path of the foam formed in the inside of the nozzle for 1st foams and the nozzle for 2nd foams shall be bent so that a horizontal direction may be followed. In this way, the first foamed foam foam and the second foamed beverage foam are spirally formed by bending the flow paths inside the first foam nozzle and the second foam nozzle. Can be rotated. Thereby, a beautiful foam can be formed, and a marble foam like marble can be formed by changing the color of each foam.

  The sparkling beverage can be a grain-based sparkling beverage. Thus, even if the sparkling beverage is a cereal sparkling beverage, the same effects as described above can be obtained.

  The first foam nozzle and the second foam nozzle are arranged on the first foamed beverage and the liquid of the second foamed beverage with different liquid types poured into the beverage container. The foam and the second foam can be dispensed. Thereby, the foam of the first sparkling beverage and the foam of the second sparkling beverage are placed on the liquid of the first sparkling beverage and the second sparkling beverage with different liquid types poured out into the beverage container. Can be dispensed at the same time.

  The first pipe for supplying the first sparkling beverage to the first foam nozzle, and the second pipe for supplying the second sparkling beverage to the second foam nozzle, The inner diameters of the first pipe and the second pipe may be 4.5 mm or less.

  As described above, the inner diameter of the first pipe and the second pipe is set to 4.5 mm or less, and the first pipe and the second pipe flowing through the first pipe and the second pipe are made thinner than the normal pipe. The pressure loss and flow resistance of the sparkling beverage are increased. As a result, the flow rates of the first sparkling beverage and the second sparkling beverage flowing through the first pipe and the second pipe can be reduced. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the generation of initial foam when the sparkling beverage is simultaneously poured into one beverage container from both the first foam nozzle and the second foam nozzle. The designability as a beverage can be improved. In addition, by reducing the thickness of the first pipe and the second pipe, the proportion of the volume of the first pipe and the second pipe in the cooling bath is reduced. For this reason, it is possible to increase the pipe storage efficiency and to reduce the size of the cooling tank. In addition, it is possible to disperse the first pipe and the second pipe in the cooling tank to increase the gap through which the refrigerant passes. Thereby, since heat exchange with the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 passing through the first pipe and the second pipe and the refrigerant is promoted, the cooling efficiency of the first sparkling beverage and the second sparkling beverage Can be greatly improved.

  The first pipe for supplying the first sparkling beverage to the first foam nozzle, and the second pipe for supplying the second sparkling beverage to the second foam nozzle, A flow rate adjusting member that adjusts the flow rate of the sparkling beverage flowing in the first pipe and the second pipe may be further provided.

  Thus, by providing the flow rate adjusting member, the flow rate of the sparkling beverage flowing through the first pipe and the second pipe can be easily adjusted. And when simultaneously pouring a sparkling beverage into one beverage container from both the first foam nozzle and the second foam nozzle, the inside of the first pipe and the second pipe by the flow rate adjusting member. By reducing the flow rate of the flowing sparkling beverage, the generation of initial foam can be suppressed, and the design as a sparkling beverage can be improved.

  The beverage dispensing apparatus according to the present invention includes any of the above-described beverage dispensing member sets and a cooling tank to which the beverage dispensing member set is attached.

  The beverage according to the present invention is a beverage in which beverages of different liquid types are poured into a beverage container, and has a foam of a first sparkling beverage and a foam of a second sparkling beverage, When the container is viewed from above, the foam of the first sparkling beverage and the foam of the second sparkling beverage each form a single closed region.

  According to the beverage according to the present invention, when the beverage container is viewed from above, the foam of the first sparkling beverage and the foam of the second sparkling beverage each form a single closed region. Therefore, the contrast between the foam of the first sparkling beverage and the foam of the second sparkling beverage is expressed by differentiating the color of the foam of the first sparkling beverage and the foam of the second sparkling beverage. It is possible to improve design and enhance palatability.

  In addition, the single closed region formed by the foam of the first sparkling beverage and the single closed region formed by the foam of the second sparkling beverage can have substantially the same shape. . Thereby, the contrast of the foam of a 1st sparkling beverage and the foam of a 2nd sparkling beverage can be expressed more clearly.

  Moreover, a 1st sparkling beverage, a 2nd sparkling beverage, and a liquid can be a grain-like sparkling beverage. Thus, even if the first sparkling beverage, the second sparkling beverage, and the liquid are cereal-based sparkling beverages, the same effects as described above can be obtained.

  According to the present invention, foams of sparkling beverages of different liquid types can be poured out without being completely mixed.

In this case, the pitch between the liquid nozzle 44 and the liquid nozzle 44 is preferably 0.1 cm or more and 9.0 cm or less, more preferably 0.1 cm or more and 4.5 cm or less, and more preferably 0.1 cm or more. More preferably, it is 3.0 cm or less.

  The foam nozzle 45 extends obliquely downward from the curran main body 43 on the front side of the liquid nozzle 44, and the first beer foam discharged from the foamed hole 42h is inside the foam nozzle 45. A foam channel 45a through which B1 flows is formed.

  Then, the foam nozzle 45 (or the tip of the foam nozzle 45) is arranged so that the foam nozzle 45 of the first currant 40 and the foam nozzle 55 of the second currant 50 can be simultaneously inserted into the beverage container A. Portion) and the foam nozzle 55 (or the tip of the foam nozzle 55) are arranged close to each other, the first currant 40 and the second currant 50 are arranged. In this case, the pitch between the foam nozzle 45 and the foam nozzle 55 is preferably 4.0 cm or more and 9.0 cm or less, more preferably 4.5 cm or more and 8.0 cm or less. More preferably, it is 0 cm or more and 6.5 cm or less.

  In the second currant 50, the second beer liquid L2 circulates inside the liquid nozzle 54, and the second beer foam B2 circulates inside the foam nozzle 55.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, since the currant body 43 of the first currant 40 and the currant body 53 of the second currant 50 are both rotatable, the distance between the tips of the liquid nozzle 54 and the liquid nozzle 54 And the distance between the tips of the foam nozzle 45 and the foam nozzle 55 can be appropriately changed.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 3-6, operation | movement of each component when pouring beer which is a sparkling drink to the beverage container A using the drink extraction apparatus 30 is demonstrated.

  First, in a state where the user of the beverage providing device 1 is not operating the first lever 41 and the second lever 51, the end face 42j on the near side of the enlarged diameter portion 42f of the slide valve 42 is formed on the wall surface 43c in the currant body 43. The first beer liquid flow path 43a and the second beer liquid flow path 43b in the currant body 43 are in contact with each other and are in a state of being blocked.

  In this state, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 6A, the user of the beverage providing apparatus 1 tilts the opening A1 at the upper end of the beverage container A to the back side by about 45 degrees, and the beverage container The liquid nozzles 44 and 54 of the first currant 40 and the second currant 50 are inserted from the opening A1 of A. In this state, when the user moves the first lever 41 and the second lever 51 to the near side, the slide valve 42 moves to the far side as shown in FIG. When the slide valve 42 moves to the back side, the end face 42j of the enlarged diameter portion 42f is separated from the wall surface 43c in the currant main body 43, and the first beer liquid flow path 43a and the second beer liquid flow path 43b communicate. When the first beer liquid flow path 43a and the second beer liquid flow path 43b communicate with each other, the first beer liquid flow path L1 and the second beer liquid flow path L2 pass through the first beer liquid flow path 43a and the second beer liquid flow path 43b, respectively. It is poured out from the lower end 44b of the liquid nozzle 44 and the lower end 54b of the liquid nozzle 54 (see FIG. 5A) toward the inner surface A2 of the beverage container A inclined to the back side by 45 degrees. In this way, the beer liquid L in which the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 are mixed is poured out into the beverage container A. Thus, by pouring the beer liquid L in a state where the beverage container A is inclined, the impact force on the inner surface A2 of the beverage container A can be reduced, and the initial foam when the beer liquid L is poured out. Can be suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5B, when finishing pouring the beer liquid L into the beverage container A, the user of the beverage providing device 1 opens the beverage container A with the opening A1 facing upward. Thus, the first lever 41 and the second lever 51 are returned to their original positions. At this time, since the end face 42j of the enlarged diameter portion 42f in the slide valve 42 contacts the wall surface 43c in the currant body 43, the first beer liquid flow path 43a and the second beer liquid flow path 43b are blocked, The dispensing of the beer liquid L into the beverage container A is stopped.

  And as shown to (b) of FIG. 4, (c) of FIG. 5, and (b) of FIG. 6, the user of the drink provision apparatus 1 is the state which stood the drink container A upright, 1st beer In order to generate the beer foam B composed of the foam B1 and the second beer foam B2 on the liquid surface S of the beer liquid L in the beverage container A, the first lever 41 of the first currant 40 and the second currant 50 And push the second lever 51 back. When the first lever 41 and the second lever 51 are pushed inward, the valve main body 42b of the slide valve 42 moves toward the front side with respect to the shaft portion 42c, and the foamed hole 42h opens. When the bubbled hole 42h is opened, the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 enter the flow path 42g of the slide valve 42 from the first beer liquid flow path 43a of the currant main body 43, respectively, and further, the bubbles from the flow path 42g. It enters the hole 42h. The first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 that have entered the foamed hole 42h are converted into the first beer foam B1 and the second beer foam B2 when passing through the foamed hole 42h, and discharged from the foamed hole 42h. Is done. The first beer foam B1 and the second beer foam B2 discharged from the foamed hole 42h flow into the foam passage 45a of the foam nozzles 45 and 55, and the liquid level S of the beer liquid L in the beverage container A. Poured out.

  In this way, the beverage poured out into the beverage container A has the first beer foam B1 and the second beer foam B2 on the liquid surface S of the beer liquid L. When the beverage container A is viewed from above, the first beer foam B1 and the second beer foam B2 form a single closed region, respectively, where the first beer foam B1 and the second beer The foam B2 is a single closed region, and the first beer foam B1 and the second beer foam B2 are separated and form a single region without being completely mixed. That means. For this reason, when the beverage container A is viewed from above, the first beer foam B1 occupies only one area, and when the beverage container A is viewed from above, the second beer foam B2 occupies only one area. Become.

  In addition, the shape of 1st beer foam B1 and 2nd beer foam B2 is not limited, For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the single closed area | region and 2nd beer which 1st beer foam B1 forms are shown. The single closed region formed by the foam B2 may have substantially the same shape, and as shown in FIG. 8, the single closed region formed by the first beer foam B1 and the single closed region formed by the second beer foam B2. The closed region may have a different shape.

  Thus, according to this embodiment, since the foam nozzle 45 and the foam nozzle 45 are close to each other, the first on the liquid surface S of the beer liquid L poured into the beverage container A. The beer foam B1 and the second beer foam B2 can be poured out simultaneously. As a result, the moment when the first beer foam B1 is poured out and the moment when the second beer foam B2 is dispensed try to cancel each other, so the first beer foam B1 and the second beer foam B2 Mixing can be suppressed. That is, the first beer foam B1 and the second beer foam B2 can be poured out without being completely mixed. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 7, by changing the colors of the first beer foam B1 and the second beer foam B2, the first beer foam B1 and the first beer foam B formed on the liquid surface S are changed. The contrast with the two beer bubbles B2 can be expressed, and the design property can be enhanced and the palatability can be enhanced.

  At this time, the flow rate of the first beer foam B1 poured out from the foam nozzle 45 of the first currant 40 by making the flow resistance of the foam nozzle 45 different from the flow resistance of the foam nozzle 55. And the flow rate of the second beer foam B2 poured out from the foam nozzle 55 of the second currant 50 can be made different, whereby the first beer foam B1 formed on the liquid surface S and the second beer The ratio with the bubble B2 can be changed.

  In particular, when the color of the first beer foam B1 poured out from the foam nozzle 45 is different from the color of the second beer foam B2 poured out from the foam nozzle 55, the flow resistance of the foam nozzle 45 and The flow resistance of the foam nozzle 55 is preferably different.

  More specifically, when the color of the first beer foam B1 poured out from the foam nozzle 45 is darker than the color of the second beer foam B2 poured out from the foam nozzle 55, the foam nozzle The flow resistance of 45 is preferably larger than the flow resistance of the foam nozzle 55. Thereby, the contrast of 1st beer foam B1 with respect to 2nd beer foam B2 can be made to stand out.

  For example, when the first beer liquid L1 is a black beer liquid and the second beer liquid L2 is a gold beer liquid, the first beer foam B1 becomes a black color (black, brown, etc.), and the second beer foam B2 becomes a white color (white, etc.). In this case, by making the flow resistance of the foam nozzle 45 larger than the flow resistance of the foam nozzle 55, the ratio of the light white white beer foam B <b> 2 is reduced to the dark black first color. It can be made more than the ratio of one beer foam B1. Thereby, the contrast of the beer foam B formed on the liquid surface S, that is, the contrast of the black first beer foam B1 with respect to the white second beer foam B2, can be made more prominent. Can enhance the palatability.

  Moreover, when the beverage container is viewed from above, the first beer foam B1 and the second beer foam B2 each form a single closed region, so the first beer foam B1 and the second beer foam B2 By making the colors different from each other, the contrast between the first beer foam B1 and the second beer foam B2 can be expressed, and the design property can be enhanced and the palatability can be enhanced. In this case, the first closed area formed by the first beer foam B1 and the single closed area formed by the second beer foam B2 have substantially the same shape, so that the first beer foam B1 and the second beer foam are formed. The contrast with B2 can be expressed more clearly.

  In addition, by setting the pitch between the foam nozzle 45 and the foam nozzle 55 to 4.0 cm or more, the installation space for the first currant 40 and the second currant 50 can be secured. The contrast between the beer foam B1 and the second beer foam B2 can be increased. And this effect can further be heightened by setting this pitch as 4.5 cm or more, and also making it 5.0 cm or more.

  On the other hand, by setting the pitch between the foam nozzle 45 and the foam nozzle 55 to 9.0 cm or less, the foam nozzle 45 and the foam can also be used in the beverage container A of the maximum size provided in restaurants and the like. The first beer foam B1 and the second beer foam B2 can be poured out simultaneously on the liquid surface S of the beer liquid L poured out into the beverage container A because the nozzle 55 for use can be inserted simultaneously. it can. And by setting this pitch to 8.0 cm or less, and further to 6.5 cm or less, the first beer foam B1 and the second beer foam B2 can be simultaneously poured into the beverage container A having a smaller size. .

  Further, since the first lever 41 of the first currant 40 and the second lever 51 of the second currant 50 extend in directions close to each other, the first lever 41 and the second lever 51 can be easily operated simultaneously. For this reason, it is possible to facilitate simultaneous dispensing of the first beer foam B1 and the second beer foam B2. In this case, since the first lever 41 and the second lever 51 are integrally operated by connecting the first lever 41 and the second lever 51, the first beer foam B1 and the second beer foam B2 Can be surely performed simultaneously.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment will be described. The second embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment, and differs from the first embodiment only in that the inner diameters of the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f are defined.

  First, the first beer liquid L1, the second beer liquid L2, the first beer foam B1, and the second beer foam B2 are poured out from the first currant 40 and the second currant 50, respectively, at normal flow rates. Think. The normal flow rate is a flow rate when pouring beer from one currant into one beverage container, and is 40 to 50 ml / s.

  In this case, the flow rate of the beer when the beer as the sparkling beverage is simultaneously poured from one of the first currant 40 and the second currant 50 into one beverage container A is foamed from one currant to one beverage container A. Compared to the case of pouring out beer, which is a beverage, it is doubled. When the flow rate of beer is doubled in this way, a large amount of initial foam is generated, and the design as beer is deteriorated.

  Therefore, in the second embodiment, by reducing the flow rates of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 flowing through the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f, one of the first currant 40 and the second currant 50 is When the beer that is a sparkling beverage is poured into the beverage container A at the same time, the flow rate of the beer is reduced, and the generation of initial foam is suppressed.

  Here, in order to reduce the flow rates of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 flowing through the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f, the gas pressure inside the beer barrel 5 adjusted by the pressure reducing valve 3 is lowered, A means for reducing the flow rates of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 is conceivable. However, when the gas pressure is lowered, there is a problem that the gas in the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 is separated, and initial bubbles are easily generated.

  On the other hand, the pressure loss of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 flowing in the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f is obtained by the following equation (1).

P = λ × (l / d ) × (ρv 2/2) ... (1)
P: Pressure loss [Pa], [N / m ² ]
λ: Coefficient of pipe friction of beer pipe 9e and beer pipe 9f≈0.03
L: Length of beer pipe 9e and beer pipe 9f [m]
d: Inner diameter (diameter) [m] of beer pipe 9e and beer pipe 9f
ρ: density of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2≈1000 [kgf / m ³ ]
V: Flow velocity [m / s] of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2.
In FIG. 12, the inner diameter d of the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f is 5 [mm], and the flow rate V of water (substitute for the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2) is 30 [ml / s], 40 [ The relationship between the length L of the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f and the pressure loss P when ml / s], 50 [ml / s], 60 [ml / s], and 70 [ml / s] is shown. . FIG. 13 shows water (first) when the inner diameter d of the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f is 4 [mm], 5 [mm], 6 [mm], 9 [mm], and 10 [mm]. The relationship between the flow rate [ml / s] of the beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2) and the pressure loss P is shown.

As can be seen from the equation (1), FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, the flow velocity V of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 flowing in the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f is proportional to the square root of the pressure loss P. The pressure loss P is proportional to the length L of the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f, and inversely proportional to the inner diameter d of the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f. The flow rates Q [m ³ / s] of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 flowing through the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f are the inner diameter d and the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2. It can be easily determined from the flow velocity V [m / s] of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 flowing through the beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2.

  Therefore, as a means for reducing the flow rates of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 flowing through the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f without reducing the gas pressure, the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f are lengthened. Means and means for reducing the inner diameter d of the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f are conceivable.

  However, if the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f are lengthened, the volume occupied by the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f increases, and thus there is a possibility that the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f cannot be accommodated in the cooling tank 9a.

  In addition, as described above, the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f are spirally wound like a coil in the cooling tank 9a, and the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f that flow in the beer pipe 9f. The beer liquid L2 is cooled by heat exchange with the cooling water in the cooling tank 9a. However, if the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f are long, the coil portions of the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f are densely packed, and the gap through which the refrigerant passes is narrowed or closed. There is a possibility that the cooling efficiency of the beer liquid L2 is significantly reduced.

  Therefore, in the second embodiment, in order to solve such problems, as means for reducing the flow rates of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 flowing through the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f, the beer pipe 9e and the beer A means for reducing the inner diameter d of the pipe 9f is employed.

  That is, since the inner diameter d of the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f is normally 5.0 [mm], it is set to 4.5 [mm] or less. In this case, the inner diameter d is preferably 4.0 [mm] or less, and more preferably 3.0 [mm] or less.

  For example, the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f used in the tabletop type beverage dispensing device 30 have a film thickness of 0.5 [mm], an inner diameter d of 4.0 [mm], and an outer diameter D of 5.0 [mm]. mm] and the length L is 11.0 [m]. In this case, for example, the flow rate Q of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 flowing through the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f can be about 28 [ml / s]. In this case, the volume of the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f is about 432 [cc]. In contrast, a normal beer pipe has a film thickness of 0.5 [mm], an inner diameter d of 5.0 [mm], an outer diameter D of 6.0 [mm], and a length L of 13.2 [m]. ]. In this case, for example, the flow rate Q of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 flowing through the pair of beer pipes can be about 45 [ml / s]. The volume of the pair of beer pipes is about 746 [cc].

  Further, for example, the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f used in the tabletop type beverage dispensing device 30 have a film thickness of 0.5 [mm], an inner diameter d of 4.5 [mm], and an outer diameter D of 5. The length L is 5 [mm] and the length L is 18.0 [m]. In this case, for example, the flow rate Q of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 flowing through the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f can be about 24 [ml / s]. In this case, the volume of the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f is about 855 [cc].

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f are made thinner than the normal pipe by setting the inner diameter d of the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f to 4.5 [mm] or less. The pressure loss and flow resistance of the flowing first beer liquid L1 and second beer liquid L2 increase. As a result, the flow rates of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 flowing through the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f can be reduced. Thereby, when beer which is a sparkling beverage is simultaneously poured out from both the first currant 40 and the second currant 50 into one beverage container A, it is possible to suppress the generation of initial foam, Designability can be improved.

  Moreover, by setting the inner diameter d of the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f to 4.5 [mm] or less and making it thinner than a normal pipe, the proportion of the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f in the cooling tank 9a is reduced. For this reason, the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f can be dispersed in the cooling tank 9a to increase the gap through which the refrigerant passes. Thereby, since heat exchange with the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 and the refrigerant passing through the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f is promoted, the cooling efficiency of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 Can be greatly improved.

  In addition, from the viewpoint of improving the cooling efficiency of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 in the cooling tank 9a, the interval between the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f wound in a spiral shape is set to 1 [mm] or more. It is preferable.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, a third embodiment will be described. The third embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment, and only the first embodiment is provided with a flow rate adjusting member 70 for adjusting the flow rate of the sparkling beverage flowing in the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f. Is different.

  As in the second embodiment, the third embodiment reduces the flow rates of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 flowing through the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f without reducing the gas pressure. The flow rate of the beer when the beer as the sparkling beverage is simultaneously poured out from both the first currant 40 and the second currant 50 into one beverage container A is suppressed, and the generation of initial foam is suppressed.

  FIG. 14 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the currant of the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 14, in the third embodiment, a flow rate adjusting member 70 is provided in each of the first currant 40 and the second currant 50.

  The flow rate adjusting member 70 adjusts the flow rates of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 that flow in the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f. The flow rate adjusting member 70 causes the float 71 inserted in the flow paths of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 in the first currant 40 and the second currant 50 and the float 71 to move back and forth in the flow paths. Lever 72. The float 71 is disposed closer to the beer barrel 5 than the liquid nozzle and the foam nozzle. The coupling mechanism between the lever 72 and the float 71 is not particularly limited. For example, a gear mechanism having a rack and pinion structure is used, and the float 71 is moved by changing the angle of the lever 72. Can do.

  The flow rate adjusting member 70 moves the float 71 backward (moves to the beer barrel 5 side) by operating the lever 72, thereby narrowing the flow paths of the first beer liquid L <b> 1 and the second beer liquid L <b> 2. The flow of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 is expanded by moving the float 71 to the opposite side of the beer barrel 5 (the liquid nozzle and the foam nozzle side) by the above operation. Therefore, when the float 71 is moved backward by the operation of the lever 72, the flow resistance of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 is increased, and the first flowing through the beer pipe 9e and the beer pipe 9f. The flow rates of the beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 are reduced, whereas when the float 71 is advanced by operating the lever 72, the flow resistance of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 is reduced. Is reduced, the flow rate of the beer pipe 9e and beer pipe 9f first beer liquid flowing in L1 and the second beer liquid L2 is increased.

  As described above, according to the third embodiment, when the beer as the sparkling beverage is simultaneously poured out from both the first currant 40 and the second currant 50 into one beverage container A, the flow rate adjusting member 70 causes the beer pipe to be poured. By reducing the flow rates of the first beer liquid L1 and the second beer liquid L2 flowing in the 9e and the beer pipe 9f, it is possible to suppress the generation of initial foam as in the second embodiment, and as beer The design property of can be improved.

  The preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the curan is described as including both the liquid nozzle and the foam nozzle, but the curan may include only the foam nozzle.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated that the currant provided with the nozzle for foams was installed in a drink provision apparatus, the apparatus structure of a drink provision apparatus is not limited to the said embodiment, It can change suitably. it can.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the drink extraction apparatus demonstrated as what provides beer, it is good also as what provides sparkling drinks other than beer.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the liquid poured out to a drink container and the foam were demonstrated as what is the same liquid type, a different liquid type may be sufficient. For example, you may pour out the foam of drinks other than beer on the liquid of beer.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although demonstrated as what pours a 1st foam and a 2nd foam on the liquid poured out into the drink container, only a 1st foam and a 2nd foam are used for a drink container. May be dispensed.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated as what pours out liquid foams, such as a foam, as a foam, it is good also as what pours a frozen foam (frozen foam). In this case, the frozen foam is poured out from the foam nozzle.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the shape of the flow path for foams formed in the inside of the nozzle for 1st foams and the nozzle for 2nd foams was not mentioned in particular, for example, this flow path is It may be bent along the liquid level of the liquid in the beverage container, that is, along the horizontal direction. In this way, by bending the flow passages inside the first foam nozzle and the second foam nozzle, the impact force on the liquid surface generated when each foam is poured out can be reduced. And the generation of coarse bubbles can be suppressed, and the foam of the first sparkling beverage and the foam of the second sparkling beverage can be rotated in a spiral. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, a beautiful foam can be formed on the liquid surface, and a marble foam like marble can be formed on the liquid surface by changing the color of each foam. Can be formed.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the drink extraction apparatus demonstrated two currants, the 1st callan and the 2nd callan, and poured out 2 liquid types of sparkling drinks, there are 3 or more curans. Alternatively, the liquid type of the foam to be poured out may be three or more liquid types. In this case, by pouring out three or more types of foams, a complicated pattern can be represented by the liquid surface, so that the design can be further enhanced and the palatability can be enhanced.

  In the beverage dispensing apparatus according to the above-described embodiment, a guide that allows the beverage container to be arranged at a predetermined position when the first and second currants are operated to dispense the foam into the beverage container. May have a part. This guide part can determine the position of the beverage container relative to the foam nozzle by contacting at least a part of the end of the beverage container. The position of the beverage container thus determined is such that when the foam is poured into the beverage container, the foam prevents the foam from splashing out of the beverage container, and the first foam and the second foam with respect to the beverage container. It is preferable that it is a position which can make the positional relationship of each time the same. By providing the guide portion in this manner, the beverage container can be arranged at an optimal position when the foam is poured out, and the foam can be formed neatly by a simple operation.

  In the third embodiment, the flow rate adjusting member has been described as being provided in the currant, but may be provided in any place as long as it is provided in the flow path of the foamed beverage. You may provide in the 1st pipe and 2nd pipe through which a 2nd sparkling beverage flows.

  Next, examples of the present invention will be described. The present invention is not limited to the following examples.

  The beverage providing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment includes a beer barrel 5 packed with a black first beer liquid L1 (B) and a beer barrel 15 packed with a golden second beer liquid L2 (G). Connected. Here, the bubbled hole 42h formed in the slide valve 42 constituting the first currant 40 is defined as the first bubbled hole α, and the bubbled hole 42h formed in the slide valve 42 constituting the second currant 50 is defined as the first bubbled hole 42h. It is called a double bubbled hole β. In the slide valve 42, a first bubbled hole α and a second bubbled hole β were formed as shown in FIG.

  The first beer liquid L1 (B) and the second beer liquid L2 (G) are first poured into the beverage container from the liquid nozzles 44, 54 through the first beer liquid L1 (B) and the second beer liquid L2 ( G) and the black first beer foam B1 (B) and the second beer liquid L2 (G) in which the black first beer liquid L1 (B) is foamed from the foam nozzles 45 and 55 at the same time. ) And white second beer foam B2 (G) were simultaneously poured out.

  And the contrast of 1st beer foam B1 (B) and 2nd beer foam B2 (G) was evaluated. As an evaluation index, the first beer foam B1 (B) and the second beer foam B2 (G) are completely mixed, and the contrast between the first beer foam B1 (B) and the second beer foam B2 (G) is What was not observed x, although the 1st beer foam B1 (B) and the 2nd beer foam B2 (G) are not completely mixed, the 1st beer foam B1 with respect to the 2nd beer foam B2 (G) ( The case where the contrast of B) was not conspicuous was indicated by Δ, and the case where the contrast of the first beer foam B1 (B) with respect to the second beer foam B2 (G) was indicated by ◯. The evaluation results are shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 9, the first beer foam B1 (B) and the second beer foam B2 (G) are completely mixed regardless of the shape of the first foamed hole α and the second foamed hole β. Could be suppressed. Further, when the opening area of the first foamed hole α is 0.28 cm ² and the opening area of the second foamed hole β is 0.50 cm ² or more and 0.57 cm ² or less, the first beer foam B1 (B) And the second beer foam B2 (G) was conspicuous. From this result, the first beer foam B1 (B) and the second beer foam B2 (G) are completely discharged by simultaneously pouring the first beer foam B1 (B) and the second beer foam B2 (G). It was found that it was possible to suppress the mixing with. Further, by optimizing the area of the first foamed hole α and the area of the second foamed hole β, the contrast of the first beer foam B1 (B) with respect to the second beer foam B2 (G) can be emphasized. I understood that I could do it.
