Description
本出願及び結果として得られる特許は、概して、飲料分配システムに関し、より詳細には、相当数の飲料を分配することが可能な簡単なシステムにおいて異なる種類の原材料に対応できるフレキシブル飲料分配システムに関する。
現行のポストミックス型飲料分配システムは、概して、外側周囲を流れる水流と共にノズルの中心部を下るようにシロップ流を流すことにより、シロップ、濃縮物、甘味料、ボーナス香味料、他の種類の香味料及び/又は他の原材料の流れを水又は他の種類の希釈剤と混合する。シロップ流は、シロップ流と水流とが消費者のコップ内に流れ落ちるときに混ざり合うように水流と共に下方に導かれる。可能な限り小さくし得る設置面積で全体として可能な限り多くの異なる種類及び香味の飲料を提供する飲料分配システムに対する要望がある。飲料分配技術の近年の改善では、マイクロ原材料の使用に焦点が当てられている。マイクロ原材料に関して、従来の飲料ベースは、はるかに高い希釈率又は再構成比で成分部分に分離され得る。したがって、これらのマイクロ原材料は、はるかに小さいパッケージ内に貯蔵され、且つ飲料ディスペンサ自体の近傍に、それに隣接して又はその中に貯蔵され得る。飲料ディスペンサは、好ましくは、複数の飲料選択肢と、必要に応じて飲料をカスタマイズする能力とを消費者に与え得る。
したがって、本出願及び結果として得られる特許は、飲料分配システムを提供する。飲料分配システムは、希釈剤と連通する希釈剤ラインと、希釈剤ライン上に位置決めされた流量計及び変流量制御モジュールと、多数のシロップと連通する多数のシロップラインと、シロップライン上に位置決めされた定流量制御モジュールとを含み得る。変流量制御モジュールは、シロップラインの1つを通るシロップの1つの流量に基づいて、希釈剤ラインを通る希釈剤の流量を制御する。
ここで、いくつかの図を通して類似の符号が類似の要素を指す図面を参照すると、図1は、本明細書で説明され得る飲料分配システム100の例を示す。飲料分配システム100は、多くの異なる種類の飲料又は他の種類の流体を分配し得る。具体的には、飲料分配システム100は、希釈剤、マイクロ原材料、マクロ原材料及び他の種類の流体と共に使用され得る。希釈剤は、概して、淡水(静水又は非炭酸水)、炭酸水及び他の流体を含む。
