Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a measuring instrument with a measuring casing that can be attached to a beverage, in particular beer, pipe and a connection end to the pipe.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Such pipes for wine, mineral water and beer, as well as the measuring instruments installed in them, such as flow meters or the like, must be cleaned regularly. This is not a problem in the case of a series of drinks, in which case both can be washed by pumping the washing liquid through the piping and measuring instruments. Removal of the measuring instrument is therefore not necessary in the case of piping for such beverages.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the case of other beverages, especially beer, deposits such as beer yeast sediments occur, which can only be removed mechanically. For this purpose, pellets of foam must be press-fitted into the pipe. However, such small spheres cannot be press-fitted into measuring instruments. This is because in that case, the pipes or measuring instruments would become clogged. It is therefore necessary to remove the measuring instrument. Disassembly of measurement instruments has traditionally been troublesome and costly.

The object of the present invention is to provide a measuring instrument in which the above-mentioned disadvantages can be avoided by making it easy to attach and detach the measuring instrument.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention comprises a measuring casing, ° and a connecting end with a pipe, the connecting end being in the form of an intermediate piece that can be fixedly connected to the pipe end, and further comprising: The intermediate piece is a measuring instrument integrated into a pipe for beverages, in particular beer, characterized in that the intermediate piece is removably connected to the measuring casing by means of a connecting part. Furthermore, the connecting part of the intermediate piece connected to the connecting part of the measuring casing has a mutually complementary form, and the connecting parts are connected to each other via a plug coupling, or , the connecting part is a measuring instrument comprising a bayonet-type connecting means. Furthermore, the connecting part of the measuring casing is screwed into the measuring casing, and the measuring casing has an upper and a lower casing, both of which are connected to each other by a bayonet connection end. The present invention also includes a measuring instrument characterized in that a contact rib with a tapered portion on the inside thereof is provided in the measuring casing for centering the measuring wing rotor.

(Function and Effect) The measuring casing of the present invention constructed based on the above-mentioned objects and the measuring instrument for beverage piping having a connecting end serve as an intermediate piece in which the measuring end can be fixedly connected to the end of the piping. The solution is that the intermediate piece is removably connected to the measuring housing via a connecting piece. With the design according to the invention, the measuring instrument can be removed from the piping system within a few seconds.

According to a very preferred design, it is envisaged that the connecting parts of the intermediate piece, which are connected to the connecting parts of the measuring casing, have a mutually complementary design. In this case, the two pipe ends can be quickly connected for cleaning even after the measuring casing has been removed, and the reduced cross-section, as is the case when passing the measuring casing, prevents cleaning by the foam pellets. will disappear. According to another design,
The connecting parts can be connected to each other via plug couplings or can be envisaged in such a way that they have bayonet-like connecting ends.

A very preferred design is for the connecting part of the measuring casing to be integrally connected to the measuring casing, so that after removal of the measuring casing the measuring casing can also be opened in a convenient manner; It can therefore be cleaned itself, and these connections can be made simply and quickly because the measuring casing has upper and lower sections and these are connected to each other by a bayonet joint. .

I can know. The individual figures show preferred embodiments of the device according to the invention with the individual parts exploded.

The measuring instrument according to the invention has a measuring casing consisting of an upper casing 1 and a lower casing 2, in which a measuring wing rotor 3 is rotatably supported, which rotor 3 is connected to the lower casing of the measuring casing. 2 is rotated by the liquid flowing through it and thus takes measurements by means of the measuring electronics. The measuring wing rotor 3 has a bearing tip (Lagerspitze) 3
' is only loosely mounted in the lower casing 2 of the measuring casing using an upper diamond bearing and is held by the upper casing 1 placed from above. Upper casing 1 has taper 1 for centering.
The measuring wing rotor 3 is guided into position when the upper casing 1 is placed, and the bearing tip 3' is guided into the upper diamond bearing (not shown). To ensure the closure, the lower casing has hooks 2 projecting axially on its periphery.
', which likewise has a taper 2', the upper casing 1 is fitted with a hollow ring-shaped projection 1.1 over the hook 2', and in this case taper 2'.
The upper and lower casings 1.2 have a ring backing (not shown), by means of which the interior of the casing is It is kept airtight.

The lower casing 2 of the measuring casing has an inlet opening 2.1 and an outlet opening 2.2 in the form of cores extending from each other at right angles to the direction of insertion of the upper casing into the lower casing. A fitting 4 with a nozzle nipple 4' is screwed into the inlet opening;
In this case, the nozzle nipple 4' is also arranged in front of the measuring wing rotor 3. At the end of the joint 4 opposite the nozzle nipple 4', a coupling part 6 is removably attached by means of a plug coupling;
and this coupling part 6 has a hose piece 9 set in a press-fit position in the hose at its opposite end.
and is securely connected to the hose or pipe by means of a cap nut 10 which presses against the coupling part 6 by screwing the hose piece into the coupling part 6. Fitting 4
The plug coupling connection between and the coupling part 6 allows these two parts to be disconnected quickly and easily.

The connecting end of the lower casing 2 is fitted with another fitting 5 in a suitable manner.

The plug coupling of 6' and the connecting piece 8 is known per se. The joint 6.6' has a sphere under spring pressure, which is drawn into the tapered cross-section of the joint 4 and the connecting piece 8 and captured in this groove. . Due to the tapered design, the coupling part 6,6' is pressed against the O-ring 11, which fits air-tightly into the joint 4 and the connecting piece 8, so that a reliable seal is obtained. The ring 11 is provided on the outer periphery of the joint 4, the connecting piece 8, rather than in the coupling part 6, 6', so that it can be easily removed and cleaned.
