Next, setting of pouring data will be explained with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. There are two types of pouring data: user setting items that can be freely set by the user, and installation setting items (protected mode) that determine the basic performance of the draft beer dispenser and cannot be easily changed by the user. For example, a maximum of 19 items can be set as the user setting items, with item numbers 1 to 19 as shown in FIG. 7(a). In a standard draft beer dispenser, a part of it is used to measure the pouring amount (item number 1) and foaming amount (item number 2) when the container is L size, such as a mug, and the amount of foam (item number 2) when the container is S size. volume (item number 3) and foaming amount (item number 4), pressure correction to correct the pressure of carbon dioxide (item number 8), temperature display to display the temperature of the draft beer barrel (item number 9), the same Auto preset mode that allows you to set the pouring amount and foaming amount for each container size for each set (
Item number 18) etc. can be set.

[0020]The setting items at the time of installation include, for example, Fig. 8(a).
As shown in the figure, a maximum of nine items can be set from item numbers 20 to 29. In standard draft beer dispensers,
A part of it is used to correct the pouring amount (item number 21) for finely correcting the pouring amount, select the solenoid valve/gate valve, and set the nozzle rise time when using the gate valve. Gate valve settings are possible.

Next, regarding the input method of each data, a)
The following will be explained separately: data input for user setting items other than auto preset mode, b) data input for user setting items for auto preset mode, and c) data input for protect mode. a) Data input other than auto preset mode First, switch the operation mode changeover switch 54 to the setting mode, and then turn the data item changeover switch 53 up or down to display the desired item number on the item display section 57. For example, when it is desired to set the pouring amount for an S-sized container, the item number "3" is displayed on the item display section 57. Next, three data input switches 56a, 56
Enter the injection amount by operating buttons b and 56c. At this time, the data display section 58 displays the injection amount in units of 1 milliliter. After that, when the desired pouring amount is displayed on the data display section 58, the data is confirmed by switching the operation mode selector switch 54 to the operation mode, and from now on, the pouring amount for the S size container is displayed on the data display section 58. The setting value will be the one set. Further, other setting items can be set in the same way.

b) Data input for auto preset mode Auto preset mode (item number 18) is a mode in which the pouring amount and foaming amount for each container size can be set at once, and the pouring amount and foaming amount can be set one by one. This mode allows you to easily set both types of data by inputting the data in a predetermined order without having to set each item number. First, the data item changeover switch 53
By raising or lowering the item display section 57
Display item number 18 on , and press the operation mode selector switch 5.
Set 4 to cleaning mode. The selection of the cleaning mode in this case is not to actually perform cleaning, but to confirm whether or not to input data in the auto preset mode so that the preset data cannot be changed by mistake. At this point, the data display data input unit is again in a state of waiting for input of an item number. There are three auto preset modes for standard draft beer dispensers. In item number 1 of the preset mode, it is possible to sequentially set the pouring amount and foaming amount for an L-sized container, and the pouring amount and foaming amount for a S-sized container. In item number 2 of the preset mode, it is possible to successively set the pouring amount and foaming amount for the L size cup. In item number 3 of the preset mode, it is possible to successively set the pouring amount and foaming amount for an S-sized container. The method of inputting each data is the same as the data input method other than the auto preset mode. This allows data to be set for the left and right pouring nozzles at the same time.

c) Data input in protected mode First,
Turn on the switch number 1 of the dip switch 75. Next, by turning the data item changeover switch 53 up or down, the item display section 57 displays the desired item number. For example, when setting the nozzle rise time of the gate valve, item number 22 is displayed on the item display section 57. Next, the nozzle rising time is set to a desired time by operating the three data input switches 56a, 56b, and 56c. At this time, the data display section shows 0.1
Although the opening time can be displayed in seconds from 00.0 to 99.9 seconds, the gate valve must be set to the desired nozzle rise time from 00.1 to 99.9 seconds. When the desired nozzle rise time is displayed, turn off the power.
FF, and switch number 1 of the above-mentioned DIP switch 57
If you turn off the power and turn on the power again, the data will be confirmed.
From then on, the nozzle rising time of the gate valve becomes the set value. Note that setting the opening time to 00.0 seconds means setting a solenoid valve. The same applies to other setting items.

FIG. 9 shows the appearance of the operation panel 80 of the pouring operation unit 16 for a standard type draft beer dispenser. The operation panel 80 includes a first dispensing operation section 81 for dispensing with a first dispensing nozzle, and a second dispensing operation section 82 for dispensing with a second dispensing nozzle. , a beer-out indicator lamp 83 for indicating that the beer barrel is out of beer, and a carbon dioxide-out indicator lamp 84 for indicating that the carbon dioxide gas cylinder 11 is out of carbon dioxide. The first dispensing operation section and the second dispensing operation section have the same structure, and each includes an L size selection switch 85 for selecting the amount to be poured into an L size container, and an L size selection switch 85 for selecting the amount to be poured into an S size container. It is equipped with an S size selection switch 86 for selection, a cancel switch 87 for stopping the pouring operation, and a foaming switch 88 for causing foaming.

Next, the operation will be explained with reference to the operation flowchart shown in FIG. When pouring out draft beer, it is necessary to input basic data such as the pouring amount from the data display input unit 15 in advance using the method described above. First, the operator operates the operation panel 80 of the dispensing operation unit 16 to select the dispensing amount (step S
1). For example, when the operator places a mug below the pouring nozzle 35 and presses the L size selection switch 85, the main control section 65a of the main board 65 controls the RAM (not shown).
The dispensing amount corresponding to the L size selection switch 85 is read from the random access memory (Random Access Memory).

Next, the temperature information from the temperature sensor 40 of the draft beer barrel 12 and the pressure information from the pressure switch are obtained via the pouring amount control unit 65g, and the carbon dioxide supply rate is calculated based on the temperature information. Based on these, the opening time of the spout valve required to obtain the L size pouring amount is calculated (step S2). Subsequently, the main control section 65a
prepares for pouring draft beer (step S3). The main control section 65a notifies each calculation result to the pouring amount control section 65g, controls each valve via the pouring valve control section 65e, and introduces carbon dioxide gas into the draft beer barrel 12. As a result, the carbon dioxide gas introduced into the draft beer barrel 12 from the carbon dioxide gas cylinder 11 via the pressure reducing valve 20, the automatic pressure adjustment valve 21, the check valve 41, the bypass valve 22, and the carbon dioxide gas supply pipe 23 is transferred to the stored draft beer. siphon pipe 26 and the siphon pipe 26
Draft beer is force-fed to the cooling tank 13 through the first beer supply pipe 27 connected to the cooling tank 13 . Further, the draft beer carried into the cooling tank 13 is cooled within the cooling coil 28 and guided to the pouring valves 30a and 30b via the second beer supply pipe 29. On the other hand, when dispensing from the left dispensing valve 30a, the main control section 65a controls the solenoid valve 36a via the dispensing nozzle control section 65f to lower the left dispensing nozzle 35a to the dispensing position.

Next, the pouring amount control section 65g controls the main control section 6.
The solenoid valve 31a is controlled via the pouring valve control section 65e based on the opening time of the pouring valve 30a calculated by Step 5a, and a predetermined amount of draft beer is poured into the mug (step S4). More specifically, the pouring amount control unit 65g determines whether or not the opening time has ended (step S5), and if the opening time has ended, closes the pouring valve 30a and controls the solenoid valve 36a. Then, the dispensing nozzle 35a is raised to the standby position and the dispensing process is completed.

After that, the main control section 65a determines whether or not to perform foaming (step S6). That is, during automatic operation, the main control unit 65a reads the set value of the amount of foam for L size, and if the amount of foam is set, performs foam creation according to the amount of foam (step 7). . Also,
When the operator wants to manually perform foaming, the operator presses the foaming switch 88. Thereby, the main control unit 65a determines whether or not the foam brewing switch 88 is pressed, and performs foam brewing while the foam brewing switch 88 is pressed (step S7). More specifically, foaming is performed by controlling the half-open foaming valve 32a and the beer pouring valve 30a via the solenoid valve 33a and the solenoid valve 31a. Furthermore, after the foaming is finished, the pouring valve 30a is closed to complete the draft beer pouring process and enter a standby state. In this case, if the process is to be interrupted midway through, the cancel switch 87 is pressed. As a result, the main control section 65a
, interrupts the pouring process, returns the draft beer dispenser to its initial state, and enters a standby state.

. Thereby, the coin processing unit 91 determines the amount of money inserted (step S11), and displays it on the amount display section 96 (step S12). At the same time, the control board unit 93 notifies the main board 65 of data such as the input amount via the extended data processing section 65i. On the other hand, the main board 65 side checks the remaining amount of draft beer, etc., and if it can be sold, the main board 65 performs subsequent processing related to sales. Next, the control board unit 93 determines whether or not the change is out (step S13), and if the change is out, the control board unit 93 also displays the out of change on the change display section 97 (step S14). ). Next, the control board unit 93 determines whether or not the coin return switch 99 has been pressed (step S15), and if the coin return switch 99 has been pressed, the coin processing unit 91
returns the inserted coin through the coin return slot 98 (step S16), and ends the process. Coin return switch 99
If is not pressed, the draft beer dispenser is in a standby state, so the purchaser takes out a paper cup of the desired size from the paper cup dispenser 8 and sets it below either the left or right pouring nozzle ( Step S17). The first dispensing operation section 101 and the second dispensing operation section 102 of the coin-shaped dispensing operation unit correspond to the left and right dispensing nozzles, respectively, and the L size selection switch on the dispensing nozzle side in which the paper cup is set is Selectively press either size selection switch 105 or S size selection switch 106 (step S18).
. Thereby, the draft beer dispenser pours out the set amount of draft beer from the pouring nozzle in the same manner as in the first embodiment (step S19), and then performs foaming (step S20). Next, the control board unit 93 determines whether or not there is change (step S21), and if there is change, it calculates the change. This results in

It is configured to include a foam brewing switch 151 for producing foam.

Next, the operation will be explained with reference to the operation flowchart shown in FIG. It is assumed that basic data such as the pouring amount has been input in advance from the data display input unit 15 in the manner described above. First, the operator operates the operation panel 140 of the dispensing operation unit 117 to select the dispensing amount (step S30). For example, the operator pours the mug into the pouring nozzle 35a and the pouring nozzle 131.
When the L size selection switch 141 is pressed, the main control section 65a of the main board 65
The dispensing amount corresponding to the L size selection switch 141 is read from AM (Random Access Memory).

Next, the operator selects the object to be poured. In other words, draft beer for dilution, draft beer for dilution and carbonated water diluted at a ratio of 1:2, draft beer for dilution and carbonated water diluted at a ratio of 2:
Select one of the following: one diluted at a ratio of 5:1, draft beer for dilution and carbonated water diluted at a ratio of 1:3, or carbonated water, and press the corresponding pouring switch. (Step S
31).

Next, the temperature information from the temperature sensor 40 in the draft beer barrel 112 and the pressure information from the pressure switch are obtained via the pouring amount control unit 65g, and based on these, the carbon dioxide gas supply rate is calculated, and the L Calculate the opening time of the draft beer pouring valve and carbonated water pouring valve necessary to obtain the pouring amount of the size. (Step S32). Next, the main control unit 65a prepares for pouring draft beer for dilution, except when pouring only carbonated water (step S33). The main control unit 65a notifies the extraction amount control unit 65g of the calculation results for the draft beer for dilution, and controls each valve via the extraction valve control unit 65e to introduce carbon dioxide into the draft beer barrel 112. do. As a result, the pressure reducing valve 20, the automatic pressure regulating valve 21, the check valve 41, the bypass valve 22, and the carbon dioxide gas supply pipe 120 are connected to the carbon dioxide gas cylinder 11.
The carbon dioxide gas introduced into the draft beer barrel 112 through the
The siphon pipe 26 and the first pipe connected to the siphon pipe 26 press the liquid level of the stored draft beer.
Draft beer for dilution is forced into the cooling tank 113 through the beer supply pipe 27 . Further, the draft beer carried into the cooling tank 113 is cooled within the cooling coil 121 and guided to the draft beer pouring valve 30a via the second beer supply pipe 29.

On the other hand, the main control unit 65a prepares to pour out carbonated water for dilution (step S34), except when pouring only draft beer for dilution. The main control section 65a notifies the pouring amount control section 65g of each calculation result regarding the carbonated water for dilution, and also introduces carbon dioxide gas into the carbonator 114. Furthermore, cooled raw water is introduced into the carbonator 114 via the filter 122, pump 123, first raw water supply pipe 124, first cooling coil 125, and second raw water supply pipe 126. As a result, carbonator 11
4 produces carbonated water for dilution, which is led to a spout valve 128 via a carbonated water supply pipe 127.

Next, the main control section 65a controls the solenoid valves 36a and 132 via the dispensing nozzle control section 65f to lower the dispensing nozzle 35a and the dispensing nozzle 131 to the dispensing position. Next, the spouting amount control section 65g controls the spouting valve 30a and the spouting valve 1 calculated by the main control section 65a.
The spout valve control unit 65e
The solenoid valves 31a and 129 are respectively controlled via the solenoid valves 31a and 129, and predetermined amounts of draft beer for dilution and carbonated water for dilution are poured into the mug (steps S35 and 37). More specifically, the pouring amount control unit 65g determines whether the opening time of each of the pouring valve 30a and the pouring valve 128 has ended (
Steps S36 and 38), when the opening time ends, close the spout valve 30a and the spout valve 128, and control the solenoid valves 36a and 132 to raise the spout nozzle 35a and the spout nozzle 131 to the standby position. Finish the dispensing process. After that, the main control unit 65a determines whether or not to perform foaming (step S39). That is, during automatic operation, the main control unit 65a reads the setting value of the foaming amount for L size, and if the foaming amount is set, foaming is performed according to the foaming amount (step 40). . Further, when the operator wants to manually perform foaming, the operator presses the foaming switch 151 to do so. Thereby, the main control unit 65a determines whether or not the foam brewing switch 151 is pressed, and performs foam brewing while the foam brewing switch 151 is pressed (step S40). More specifically,
Foaming is performed by controlling the half-open foaming valve 32 and the beer extraction valve 30a via the solenoid valve 33a. Furthermore, after the foaming is finished, the pouring valve 30a is closed to finish pouring out the draft beer for dilution and enter a standby state. In this case, if you want to interrupt the process midway through, use the cancel switch 15.
Press 0. As a result, the main control unit 65a interrupts the pouring process, returns the draft beer dispenser to its initial state, and enters a standby state.
