Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily automate a manual type dispenser by a method wherein an attachment which is attached to a handle for opening/closing of a cock, is provided, and the actuating force of a driving device is transmitted to the attachment through a crank device, and at the same time, the tilt of a container mounting table is controlled by a cam device. SOLUTION: Above the front surface of an L-shape attaching table 2 being attached to the front surface of a dispenser 1 for beer, a geared motor 4 for the driving of an eccentric wheel is arranged by an attaching member. To a motor rotating shaft 5, an eccentric plate 7 is attached, and one end of a link 8 is connected to the eccentric plate 7. At the same time, to the other end of the link 8, an attachment 10 which is connected by screwing into a thread 9 for knob attaching of a handle 6 for cock, is connected. Also, under the front surface of the attaching table 2, a mounting table 16 for a stein 15, consisting of a curved back part 13 and a horizontal base part 14, is arranged, and the back part 13 is supported to the attaching table 2 by a hanging arm 17 so as to be rockable in the longitudinal direction. In addition, the back part 13 is pushed by a plate cam 27 which is rotated by a motor to rock the mounting table 16 in the longitudinal direction.

At this time, it is difficult to move one hand holding the jockey and it is a burden on the same hand, and there is the inconvenience that there is a difference in the pouring condition depending on the operator and uneven taste etc. Was desired.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a novel beverage dispenser dispenser automation device that meets the above demands.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, a dispenser automation device for a beverage dispenser according to the present invention is provided with an attachment to be attached to a handle for opening and closing a cock of the dispenser, and a handle by a motor. A drive device that opens and closes, a crank device that transmits the operating force of the drive device to the attachment, a swingable platform for placing a container such as a jockey that receives beverages such as beer poured from the cock, and a platform for this platform. A drive device that controls the inclination by a motor and a cam device that is operated by the motor so that the acceptance is easily performed, and an operation control device that controls the crank device and the cam device with good timing, to a beverage dispenser. It is equipped with a mounting base.

[0005]

In the embodiment shown in the drawings, an L-shaped mounting base 2 for mounting on the front surface of a beer dispenser 1 is constructed, and an eccentric ring is mounted on an upper portion of the front surface of the mounting base 2 via an L-shaped mounting member 3. The drive gear motor 4 is equipped so that its rotation shaft 5 is slightly displaced to the left from just above the handle 6 for the cock (the knob is removed in the figure) of the dispenser 1. An attachment 10 for fixing an eccentric disc 7 to the rotating shaft 5 and connecting a link 8 to the eccentric disc 7 and separately from the eccentric disc 7 by screwing and connecting to a knob mounting screw 9 of the cock handle 6. The attachment 10 is connected to the cock handle 6 by screwing instead of a previously removed knob (not shown), and the tip of the link 8 is attached to the upper end of the attachment 10 by the pin 1 Linked via a,

A mount 16 for a jockey 15 consisting of a curved back 13 and a horizontal base 14 is arranged in front of a lower portion on the front surface of the mount 2, and both upper edges of the back 13 of the mount 16 are arranged. The hanging arms 17 and 18 are integrally opposed to each other, and the hanging arms 17 and 18 are attached to the pair of supporting wall members 19,
By supporting the mounting base 2 by means of 20 and the shaft rod 21, the mounting base 16 can be rocked back and forth, and an L-shaped mounting member 28 is provided at a horizontal position on the right side of the mounting base 16 on the front surface of the mounting base 2. The geared motor 22 is equipped so that its rotation shaft 23 faces the mounting table 16, and the mounting table 1
A horizontal shaft 24 is disposed between the back portion 13 of 6 and the mounting base 2, and one end of the horizontal shaft 24 is connected to the rotary shaft 23 of the cam drive gear motor 22 via a coupling 25.
The other end of 4 is rotatably supported by the mounting wall member 26 by the support wall member 26, and the back portion 13 of the mounting base 16 is pushed to the middle position of the horizontal shaft 24 via the horizontal transfer plate portion 31 to move the mounting base 16 back and forth. A plate cam 27 to be swung is fixed to the mounting base 2 at a required position on the front surface of the mounting base 2 and the gear motors 2 and 2.
The second operation control panel (not shown) is provided.

This operation control panel has a small jug pouring push button, a medium jug pouring push button, a large jug pouring push button, a foam only push button, an auxiliary push button and a power on / off button, and a middle push button. Has an electric control circuit board (not shown).

The above electric control circuit board is wired so as to do the following. (a) When the push button for pouring a small jug is pressed, beer is served for a preset time set by the user. (b) When the middle jug pouring push button is pressed, beer is served for a preset time set by the user. (c) When the large jug pouring push button is pressed, beer is served for a preset time set by the user. In the cases (a), (b) and (c), the mount 16 is automatically tilted and moved upward, and the tilt angle and the vertical position of the jockey are adjusted so that bubbles do not increase. (d) When the push button for taking out bubbles only is pressed, only bubbles are taken out. (e) If the auxiliary push button is pressed while beer is being dispensed, beer pouring is stopped and the jockey returns to the vertical position.If no beer is dispensed, press and hold this button to release beer only during that time ( During this time, the jockey remains vertical).

The above items (a) to (e) are achieved by starting and stopping the forward and reverse rotations of the eccentric wheel drive geared motor 4 and the cam drive geared motor 22. , 22 are sequence-controlled. Since this sequence control is formed by a general-purpose circuit using a timer, detailed description and drawing are omitted.

[0010]

When the dispenser automatic dispenser for beverages according to the present invention is attached to the dispenser 1, the cock 29 is once removed from the dispenser 1 and the attachment base 2 is attached and fixed to the dispenser 1, and after the attachment, the cock is attached. 29 may be attached to the original position, the knob 6 may be removed from the handle 6 of the cock 29, and the attachment 10 may be screwed onto the knob attaching screw 9 instead. This screw is eccentric 7
Threaded shaft screw 30 for connecting the link 8 to the link
It is designed to be removed once.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, the attachment mounted on the handle for opening and closing the cock in the dispenser, the drive device for opening and closing the handle by the motor, and the crank device for transmitting the operating force of the drive device to the attachment. And a swingable mounting table on which a container such as a jockey for receiving beverages such as beer poured from a cock is mounted, a motor and a cam device operated by the motor so that the inclination of the mounting table can be easily received. Since it is equipped with a drive device controlled by the above, and an operation control device for controlling the crank device and the cam device at a timely timing, on the mounting base for the beverage dispenser, the mounting base is mounted and fixed to the dispenser. Manual beverage dispenser currently in use Be one that can be easily automated,
It can completely achieve the intended purpose.
