Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a beer server.

(Prior Art) There have been various types of beer servers, and among these types of beer servers, the one with the configuration closest to the present invention is the Utility Model Opened in 1973-
Like the beer server described in Publication No. 69100,
Gas pressure is introduced into a beer barrel housed in a refrigerator equipped with a water circulation device for beer cooling, and the tip of a pouring pipe extending from the beer barrel is installed on a stand integrated with the refrigerator. While connected to the pouring pipe for pouring, the beer cooling water is cooled by flowing beer cooling water through the pouring pipe from the upper end opening of the beer cooling water water pipe attached to the pouring pipe, and There is a system in which the beer cooling water applied to the spouting pipe is allowed to flow down along the spouting pipe and applied to the beer barrel, thereby cooling the beer in the beer barrel.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) By the way, in the case of the conventional beer server as mentioned above, the stand is integrated with the refrigerator, so it is not necessary to use a counter with a predetermined height, regardless of whether it is used outdoors or the like. In stores etc. where refrigerators are installed, there is an unavoidable difficulty in that there are some restrictions on where refrigerators can be placed, and the water pipes for cooling beer are exposed, which reduces the cooling effect due to heat absorption. Furthermore, while the beer cooling water flows down through the bare spouting pipe, heat exchange with the beer inside the spouting pipe occurs, causing a temperature rise.
As a result of reducing the cooling effect of the beer in the beer barrel, there was a drawback that the beer cooling effect as a whole was insufficient.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a beer server that can eliminate all of the above-mentioned difficulties and drawbacks of conventional beer servers.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the beer server according to the present invention applies gas pressure to beer barrels stored in a refrigerator equipped with a beer cooling water cooling device and a beer cooling water circulation device. A spout pipe that is introduced and extends beer from the beer barrel to the outside of the refrigerator is connected to the tip of the spout pipe, and is attached to a stand that is attached to a counter and is separate from the refrigerator. In a beer server configured to dispense beer through a pouring pipe, a water supply pipe for beer cooling water cooled by the beer cooling water cooling device is attached along almost the entire length of the dispensing pipe, The upper end thereof is opened near the connecting portion between the spouting pipe and the spouting crock, and both pipes are covered with a beer cooling water flowing sleeve whose lower end is opened above the beer barrel. This system is characterized in that the beer cooling water poured into the beer barrel from the downstream sleeve is returned to the beer cooling water cooling device by the pump of the beer cooling water circulation device.

(Function) As mentioned above, the beer server according to the present invention has the following features:
First of all, the stand to which the brewing cup is attached is constructed separately from the refrigerator, so how to place it on the counter during use will depend on the placement and location of the refrigerator. When using the device, it is possible to select the most suitable position and fix it.

As mentioned above, if the beer server according to the present invention is operated by installing and fixing the stand at the optimum position for use, the beer cooling water cooled by the beer cooling water cooling device can be used to cool the beer. The beer cooling water flows out from the upper end opening of the water pipe, which is arranged in the downflow cannula together with the pouring pipe, and the beer cooling water that flows out into the downflow cannula fills the downflow cannula. flowing down,
The beer is poured into the beer barrel from the lower open end, and during this time, on the one hand, the beer in the pouring pipe is cooled, and on the other hand, the temperature of the beer cooling water in the water pipe is prevented from rising, and at the same time, the temperature of the beer cooling water in the water pipe is As a result, not only the beer in the spout pipe but also the beer in the beer barrel can be better cooled by preventing the rise in temperature of the beer cooling water that fills the pipe and flows down.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the beer server according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

It is more similar to 2.

Reference numerals 11 and 11 are beer barrels stored in the refrigerator 1, and 12 is an adapter attached to one beer barrel 11. It is equipped with a gas introduction pipe 13 made of a flexible material and a pouring pipe 14 made of a flexible material which sends the beer in the beer barrel 11 to a pouring collar 16 (to be described later) using gas pressure.

In addition, 16 is from the adapter 12 to the refrigerator 1.
A spouting collar connected to the distal end of the spouting pipe 14 extending outward, the spouting collar 1
6 is formed separately from the refrigerator 1, and its power 18
It is attached to a stand 17 which is fixed to a counter 19 at a position.

Further, 22 is a large-diameter beer cooling water flowing cannula made of a flexible material that covers almost the entire length of the beer pouring pipe 14, and the lower end of this flowing cannula 22 is open. In addition, a water injection pipe 10 is branched in the lower part, and a water pipe 9 for sending out the beer cooling water cooled by the heat exchanger 5 constituting the beer cooling water cooling device 2 is disposed within the downstream sleeve pipe 22. Raise it along the spout pipe 14 (the third
), the downstream cannula 22 is opened near the upper end (see Figure 4), the downstream cannula 22 is filled with beer cooling water, and beer is poured from the lower end of the downstream cannula 22 and the water injection pipe 10. Water is poured into the barrels 11, 11.

Note that 20 is a flexible telescopic tube that covers the downstream cannula 22 between the refrigerator 1 and the stand 17, and 21 and 21 are water injection rings fitted into the beer barrels 11 and 11.

When using the beer server configured as described above, the refrigerator 1 is placed below the counter 19 or at an appropriate location, the stand 17 is fixed at an appropriate position on the counter 19 by the forceps 18, and the beer server is placed under the counter 19 or at an appropriate location. A beer barrel 11 is placed in the cooling water tray 7,
11 and the adapter 12 into one beer barrel 1
