Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for supplying a carbonated drink obtained by mixing a drink liquid and a carbonated liquid, and more particularly to an apparatus for supplying a high carbonated drink that is difficult for the carbon dioxide gas of the carbonate liquid to escape.

Currently, beverage dispensers that supply carbonated beverages instead of human hands are used.
This beverage dispenser that supplies carbonated beverages is a beverage solution in which a carbonated solution and a raw material solution are separately supplied from a nozzle to a container.
As such a beverage dispenser, for example, Patent Document 1 provides a beverage dispenser having a structure in which a base beverage (such as strawberry high) and an added syrup are simultaneously supplied from each nozzle to a cup.
In this beverage dispenser, the base beverage nozzle and the additive syrup nozzle are arranged side by side in close proximity to the left and right, so the base beverage (such as strawberry high) and the additive syrup are discharged in the same direction. Is done.

However, when ice is present in the cup, the discharged base beverage directly collides with the rough surface of the ice, so that carbon dioxide gas is separated from the carbonated water contained in the base beverage and escapes.
As a result, a so-called carbonic acid-poor beverage having a low carbon dioxide gas dissolution rate is obtained.
As a solution to such a problem, a beverage supply device as shown in Patent Document 2 has been developed.

This beverage supply device is provided with a nozzle tube for discharging a liquid beverage and a discharge port of a dilution liquid nozzle for discharging a diluent at a predetermined distance from each other, and a beverage placed on a cuprest from each nozzle It is an apparatus for preparing by discharging a liquid raw material and a diluent into a container.
The diluent outlet of the diluent nozzle is disposed so as to face the inner wall surface of the beverage container, and the diluent is discharged toward the inner wall surface to flow down.

By having such a structure, when the beverage supply device discharges the diluted solution, it is avoided that the diluted solution directly collides with the ice as compared with the beverage dispenser of Patent Document 1 of the former.
Therefore, the escape of carbon dioxide gas is reduced, and a so-called highly carbonated beverage with good carbonation can be prepared.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-171796 Utility Model Registration No. 3179224

However, in this beverage supply apparatus, since the nozzle arrangement structure is arranged so that the diluent discharge port of the diluent nozzle faces the inner wall surface of the beverage container, the diluent does not adhere to the ice in the container.

In this figure, the guide part is omitted.

FIG. 6 is a schematic view showing the arrangement relationship between the raw material liquid nozzle 1, the carbonic acid liquid nozzle 2, and the inner wall surface of the container 6. FIG. 6A is a front view, and FIG. It shows with.
Here, the raw material liquid nozzle 1 is connected to a raw material liquid tank (not shown) via a raw material liquid supply flow path, and is disposed so as to be discharged to the center of the positioned container 6.
And the raw material liquid nozzle 1 is provided with the some hole H, and can spray a raw material liquid to the whole ice piece 7 reliably.
The raw material liquid may be cooled at room temperature (room temperature), or at room temperature, mainly due to the temperature difference between the raw material liquid and ice, and when cooled, due to the reaction heat due to contact between the raw material liquid and ice, The ice pieces 7 that have been sprayed with the raw material liquid are not melted with burrs (spine-like splinters) existing on the surface thereof, and the surface becomes uniform and smooth.
In addition, since the surface of the ice is coated with the raw material liquid by discharging the raw material liquid, the surface of the ice piece 7 is further smoothed.

FIG. 7 is a view showing an example of the nozzle opening 1A of the raw material liquid nozzle 1, in which (A) is a longitudinal sectional view, and (B) is a bottom view.
In this example, in addition to the hole H in the central portion, eight holes H are provided around the periphery, and a total of nine holes are provided.

On the other hand, the carbonate solution nozzle 2 is connected to a carbonate solution production tank (not shown), and the carbonate solution cooled from the carbonate solution production tank by moving the carbonate solution operation lever 21 is discharged to the container 6 through the carbonate solution nozzle 2. Supplied.
The carbonic acid solution nozzle 2 is arranged such that a pipe-like nozzle extends downward and bends along the inner wall surface of the container 6.
The discharge direction of the carbonic acid solution nozzle 2 (the direction in which the liquid jumps out) is provided so as to incline by a certain angle θ with respect to the horizontal tangential direction of the inner wall surface of the opposing container 6.
In this case, the angle θ refers to an angle formed by the tangential direction at the intersection of the central axis of the carbonic acid solution nozzle 2 and the inner wall surface.

FIG. 8 is a view for explaining the inclination relationship between the discharge direction of the carbonic acid solution nozzle 2 and the inner wall surface of the container 6.
Thus, by inclining the discharge direction of the liquid by the angle θ, the carbonic acid liquid flows efficiently in a spiral manner so as to surely follow the inner wall surface of the container 6.
In this case, the inclination angle θ is less than 90 degrees, but preferably from 10 to 70 degrees, for example, from the viewpoint of suppressing carbon dioxide bubble generation as much as possible.

FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram of the cartridge reservoir A1 that temporarily stores the raw material liquid, which is provided in the high carbonated beverage supply apparatus A of the present invention.
The cartridge reservoir A1 is connected to a raw material liquid tank (not shown) via the raw material liquid supply channel 14, and the raw material liquid is additionally supplied from the raw material liquid tank to the cartridge reservoir A1.
Further, the cartridge reservoir A1 is connected to the raw material liquid nozzle 1 via the raw material liquid discharge channel 12, and a fixed amount (one shot) of the raw material liquid W is filled in the cartridge reservoir A1. By moving the raw material liquid operation lever 11, the liquid is discharged into the container 6 through the raw material liquid nozzle 1.
When the cartridge reservoir A1 becomes empty (colored), the raw material liquid is filled into the cartridge reservoir A1 from the raw material liquid tank through the raw material liquid supply channel 14 by a fixed amount (one shot). It has become.

FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining an operation for opening and closing the third valve body 23 provided in the carbonic acid solution dispensing flow path 22 by moving the carbonic acid solution operating lever 21.

Note that the structure for transmitting the movement of the carbonic acid solution operating lever 21 to the third valve body 23 is omitted.
When the vertical carbonic acid solution operating lever 21 is moved and leveled, the closed third valve body 23 is opened, and the carbonic acid liquid discharge passage 22 can be passed.
Therefore, the carbonic acid solution is discharged from the carbonic acid solution nozzle 2.

(Safety structure for valve switching)
Incidentally, as described above, the cartridge reservoir A1 is connected to the raw material liquid tank, and the raw material liquid is filled from the raw material liquid tank through the raw material liquid supply flow path into the cartridge reservoir A1 by a certain amount (one shot). .
One-shot is the amount of raw liquid required for the production of high carbonated beverages for a full container, which is often 30 ml, 45 ml, 60 ml, etc., but is set appropriately depending on the type of raw material liquid and the type of high carbonated beverage you want to make Is done.
Then, by moving the raw material liquid operation lever, a predetermined amount (one shot) of the raw material liquid is discharged from the cartridge reservoir A1 to the container 6 through the raw material liquid nozzle 1.
In this case, between the raw material liquid supply flow path 14 from the raw material liquid tank to the cartridge reservoir A1 and the raw material liquid extraction flow path 12 that guides the raw material liquid filled in the cartridge reservoir A1 and pours it out. A valve switching safety mechanism is provided.

10 to 12 are internal sectional views of a partial cross section for explaining the valve switching safety mechanism.
The cover body A1a covering the cartridge reservoir A1 is omitted for convenience.
FIG. 10 shows a state (standby state) in which the raw material liquid is filled in the cartridge reservoir A1, and the first valve body 13 is closed and the raw material liquid cannot be discharged from the raw material nozzle.

FIG. 11 shows a state where the second valve body 15 is closed and the first valve body 13 is opened, and the raw material liquid is discharged from the raw material nozzle 1.
FIG. 12 shows a state where the first valve body 13 is closed and the second valve body 15 is opened, and the raw material liquid is supplied to the empty cartridge reservoir A1.

As shown in the figure, a first valve body 13 is provided in the raw material liquid extraction flow path 12 which is a flow path for discharging the raw material liquid filled in the cartridge storage device A1 to the outside. A second valve body 15 is provided in the raw material liquid supply flow path 14 which is a flow path for supplying the raw material liquid.
A cam rod 16 is provided in common for making these passages passable or not passable, that is, for opening and closing each valve body.

The cam rod 16 slides in the horizontal direction, and opens and closes the first valve body 13 and the second valve body 15.
Specifically, the cam rod 16 is in perpendicular contact with the first valve body 13 and the second valve body 15, and the first valve body 13 and the second valve body 15 are opened and closed synchronously by the movement of the cam rod 16. be able to.
The first valve body 13 is normally biased downward by a spring so that the flow path cannot pass through, but has a structure that opens when the spring is overcome and pushed up.
The second valve body 15 is normally biased downward by a spring so that the flow path can pass therethrough. However, the second valve body 15 has a structure that closes when the spring is overcome and pushed up.

Next, an operation of discharging the raw material liquid for one shot will be described.
A) First, the first valve body 13 is closed and the second valve body 15 is opened, and the cartridge reservoir A1 is filled with a certain amount (one shot) of the raw material liquid (see FIG. 10).
This is a so-called standby state.

B) When the raw material liquid operation lever 11 is moved and the cam rod 16 is horizontally moved in the forward direction as shown by the arrow, the first valve body 13 is pushed up by the large diameter portion 16A and the first valve body 13 is opened (ie, the raw material) The liquid pouring channel 12 can pass through).
At the same time, the second valve body 15 is pushed up by the large-diameter portion 16A and the second valve body 15 is closed (that is, the raw material liquid supply flow path 14 cannot pass).
In this case, the raw material liquid is discharged from the raw material liquid nozzle 1 to an external container 6 (not shown) (see FIG. 11), but since the second valve body 15 is closed, the cartridge reservoir is stored via the raw material liquid supply channel 14. A1 is not filled with the raw material liquid.

C) After the raw material liquid is discharged and the inside of the cartridge reservoir A1 is emptied (that is, after the discharge for one shot into the container is completed), the raw material liquid operation lever 11 is returned to the original position and the cam bar When 16 is horizontally moved in the reverse direction, the first valve body 13 is pushed down by the small diameter portion 16B, and the first valve body 13 is closed.
At the same time, the second valve body 15 is pushed down by the small diameter portion 16B and the second valve body 15 is opened.

Then, since the raw material liquid supply flow path 14 can pass, the raw material liquid is supplied again to the emptied cartridge reservoir A1 until a predetermined amount (one shot) is obtained (see FIG. 12).
In addition, the pressure which supplies a raw material liquid is based on the pressure of a flow jet pump, for example.
In this case, since the first valve body 13 is closed, the raw material liquid is not discharged from the raw material liquid nozzle 1.
As can be seen from A) to C), the first valve body 13 is opened after the second valve body 15 is closed by the forward movement of the cam rod 16, and the first valve body is opened by the reverse movement of the cam rod 16. The second valve body 15 opens after 13 is closed.

Therefore, while the raw material liquid is being discharged into the container 6 by the raw material liquid nozzle 1, the raw material liquid is not supplied to the cartridge reservoir A1, and the raw material liquid for one shot is poured accurately into the container 6.
During the pouring of the raw material liquid into the container 6, the raw material liquid is not inadvertently supplied to the cartridge reservoir A <b> 1, and this prevents the raw material liquid from being excessively injected into the container 6. Is done.
With such a valve switching safety mechanism, the raw material liquid can be poured into the container 6 with peace of mind.
Incidentally, in order to change a certain amount (one shot) of the cartridge reservoir A1, it is performed by changing the volume of the internal space, but the details are omitted.

Next, a procedure for discharging the raw material liquid and the carbonic acid solution into the container 6 using the high carbonated beverage supply apparatus A will be described.
By the way, there are two causes for the carbon dioxide to escape from the carbonic acid solution. One of them is that the dissolved carbon dioxide escapes when the carbonic acid solution comes into contact with the ice pieces 7 having a rough surface (caustic factor for carbon dioxide escape 1). The other is that the carbon dioxide directly collides with the inner wall surface of the container 6 and the dissolved carbon dioxide escapes due to the impact (cause of carbon dioxide escape factor 2).

Therefore, in this discharge procedure, first, the raw material liquid is discharged into the container 6 containing the ice pieces 7 while being in contact with the ice pieces 7 (raw material liquid discharge), and then the carbonic acid solution is brought into contact with the inner wall surface of the container 6. Discharge while discharging (carbonic acid solution discharge).
The key point for producing a highly carbonated beverage, that is, the trick is to discharge the carbonated liquid after discharging the raw material liquid.

  1) First, a container 6 containing ice pieces 7 is prepared first.

2) Temporarily place the container 6 containing the ice pieces 7 on the receiving part 3.
Next, when the container 6 is lifted and aligned with the guide part 4, the container 6 is properly positioned in the vertical and horizontal directions, the raw material liquid nozzle 1 is positioned above the central part of the container 6, and the carbonic acid liquid nozzle 2 is disposed in the container. 6 along the inner wall surface. (See Figs. 3 and 5)
Specifically, as described above, the discharge direction of the carbonic acid solution nozzle 2 is arranged to be inclined by an angle θ with respect to the horizontal tangential direction of the inner wall surface of the container 6 (see FIG. 8).

3) The raw material liquid operation lever 11 is operated to discharge the raw material liquid (whiskey or the like) from the raw material liquid nozzle 1.
The discharged raw material liquid falls on the ice piece 7 in the container 6 and first smoothes the rough surface of the ice piece 7.
That is, burrs and the like on the surface of the ice piece 7 are eliminated to make a smooth surface.
This eliminates the carbon dioxide escape factor 1 described above.
Since the raw material liquid nozzle 1 is located at the center of the container 6, the raw material liquid falls evenly on the entire ice piece 7, and since the raw material liquid nozzle 1 has a plurality of holes, the raw material liquid is iced. The whole piece 7 is sprayed.

4) Next, the carbonated liquid operation lever 21 is moved to discharge the carbonated liquid from the carbonated liquid nozzle 2, and the carbonated liquid flows along the inner wall surface of the container 6.
Moreover, since the discharge direction of the carbonic acid solution nozzle 2 is inclined by an angle θ with respect to the horizontal tangential direction of the inner wall surface of the container 6, there is no impact and the carbon dioxide gas does not escape.
This eliminates the carbon dioxide escape factor 2 described above.
Thus, the carbonic acid solution does not collide with the inner wall surface of the container 6 in an impact manner, and does not fall directly on the ice piece 7 as much as possible.
Incidentally, even if the carbonic acid solution accumulated at the bottom of the container 6 comes into contact with the ice piece 7, the surface of the ice piece 7 has already been evenly smoothed by the raw material liquid, so that the carbon dioxide gas does not escape from the carbonic acid solution.

  5) By discharging the carbonic acid liquid from the carbonic acid liquid nozzle 2 in this way, the raw material liquid and the carbonic acid liquid are finally mixed in the container 6, and a highly carbonated beverage is completed.

6) Finally, place the container 6 containing the carbonated drink in the receiving part 3.
Thus, the procedure for supplying the raw material liquid and the carbonic acid solution to the container 6 containing the ice pieces 7 is completed.

Although the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and various modifications can be made.
For example, it is possible to provide another raw material liquid nozzle for adjusting the concentration so as to meet the taste of a person who drinks a carbonated beverage.
Originally, the amount of the raw material liquid for one shot is regulated, so that it is not possible when a thick carbonated beverage is required according to customer preference.
Such a case can be dealt with by providing a raw material liquid addition nozzle (connected to the raw material liquid tank) for further adding an additional raw material liquid to thicken the carbonated beverage.

FIG. 13 shows a supply device A for a high carbonated beverage provided with a nozzle 5 for adding a raw material liquid.
FIG. 14 is a schematic perspective view showing the arrangement relationship with the inner wall surface of the container 6 when the raw material liquid addition nozzle 5 is provided.
Therefore, for a person who prefers a beverage with a high concentration of the raw material liquid, an additional raw material liquid is added to the container 6 by operating the operation lever (not shown) of the raw material liquid adding nozzle 5.
The addition of the addition raw material liquid from the raw material liquid addition nozzle 5 may be after the above-described raw material liquid discharge or after the carbonic acid liquid discharge.

By the way, the supply apparatus of the high carbonated beverages shown in FIG.13 and FIG.14 is equipped with cartridge storage device A1, and has the function to discharge the raw material liquid for one shot in a container in principle.
Therefore, three nozzles of the raw material liquid nozzle 1, the raw material liquid addition nozzle 5, and the carbonic acid liquid nozzle 2 are required.
By supplying the raw material liquid directly from the raw material liquid tank T to the raw material liquid nozzle 1 without providing the cartridge reservoir A1, the number of nozzles can be reduced.

FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram of the raw material liquid flow path in the high carbonated beverage supply apparatus A in which the raw material liquid is allowed to flow directly from the raw material liquid tank T to the raw material liquid nozzle 1.
Here, a raw material liquid supply passage 14A is provided between the raw material liquid tank T and the raw material liquid nozzle 1, and a valve body 13A is provided in the raw material liquid supply passage 14A.
In this case, the amount of the raw material liquid discharged to the container can be increased or decreased or freely adjusted by using the valve body 13A as an electromagnetic valve and opening and closing by switching the switch.
When the electromagnetic valve is switched by electric drive, it is naturally possible to set the raw material liquid so as to have a constant discharge amount.
Naturally, it is possible to change the design so that the valve body 13A can be opened and closed by mechanical drive by moving the raw material liquid operation lever.
In this case, the amount of the raw material liquid discharged to the container can be increased or decreased or freely adjusted by operating the raw material liquid operation lever.

  As described above, the high carbonated beverage supply apparatus A has been described as an example, but it is naturally possible to design the apparatus so as to provide a plurality of so-called nozzle towers (supports).

  For reference, an explanatory view of the raw material liquid channel in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 12 is shown in FIG.

The high carbonated beverage supply device of the present invention is provided such that the raw material liquid nozzle is positioned at the center of the container, the nozzle hole of the carbonate liquid nozzle is disposed along the inner wall surface of the container, and the carbonated liquid Is discharged so as to be inclined at an angle θ with respect to the horizontal tangential direction of the inner wall surface, so that the raw material liquid is applied evenly to the entire ice pieces in the container.
Further, the carbonic acid solution does not directly collide with the inner wall surface of the container, and the carbon dioxide contained in the carbonated water is difficult to escape.
As long as this principle can be used, it can be widely used in a discharge device for a liquid containing gas.
