Description

Pouring device {POURING DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a dispensing device that is attached to a transfer container and dispenses an effervescent beverage stored in the transfer container.

Conventionally, effervescent beverages represented by beer (hereinafter, also referred to as ``beer, etc.''), when poured into a container such as a beer mug or glass (hereinafter, referred to as ``beer glasses, etc.''), flavor, taste, throat, and look In order to improve it, it is preferred that a creamy foam layer of about 30% is formed on a layer of about 70% of beer or the like. This is because the finer the foam is, the more persistent it is, so that the loss of carbonic acid dissolved in beer or the like and oxidation of beer or the like can be delayed, and the taste of beer or the like can be sustained.

In stores such as beer halls, beer gardens, and pubs (hereinafter referred to as "beer halls"), beer, etc., contained in a barrel is poured into a beer mug using a dedicated beer dispenser and provided. In order to form a creamy foam layer on a layer of beer or the like, skill is required to adjust the angle of a beer mug, etc. when pouring beer or the like, operation of the pouring cock, the amount of pouring, and the gas pressure.

Regarding such pouring of beer or the like, Patent Document 1 proposes a tap in which an ultrasonic generator is attached to a pouring passage of a beer dispenser. With such a device, it is possible to easily form a creamy foam without a skilled person.

By the way, in beer halls, the employee pours beer out of individual beer mugs from a beer dispenser and serves them to customers, and provides them to customers using a portable container called a pitcher that can accommodate several pieces of beer, such as beer glasses. In some cases. The beer or the like provided by the pitcher is poured out from each table by the customer himself/herself into individual beer glasses.

Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2000-327096

Features are made of resin for business purposes, and those with a capacity of about 1 to 2 ℓ are widely used. When this feature is filled with beer or the like, in addition to the weight of the feature itself, there is a case where the weight exceeds 2 kg due to the weight of the beer or the like.

It is difficult for a customer unfamiliar with pouring beer or the like to skillfully handle such a heavy feature. If the force of pouring beer, etc. is too strong, the poured beer, etc., hits the face of beer, etc. inside the beer mug and becomes a beer with foam. Conversely, if the force pouring beer, etc. is too weak, the beer with less foam. Because it becomes a back.

As such, it is very difficult to generate creamy bubbles in an appropriate amount in a beer mug or the like.

In addition, in outdoor resorts and homes other than beer halls, etc., when pouring beer, etc. from a portable container such as a can or bottle to an individual beer mug without being limited to a pitcher, a creamy foam is generated in an appropriate amount as described above. There was a problem that it was difficult.

The present invention is to solve the above-described problems, to provide a pouring device capable of adding a creamy foam in an appropriate amount without requiring skill for an effervescent beverage poured from a carrying container into a beer mug, etc. It is aimed at.

A first characteristic configuration of the dispensing device according to the present invention is a dispensing device mounted on a carrying container and for dispensing an effervescent beverage contained in the carrying container, comprising: a receiving port for receiving the effervescent beverage contained in the carrying container; At least a first pouring state or a flow state of a spout for dispensing the foamed beverage received from the intake port, a flow path communicating the intake port and the spout, and a foamable beverage flowing through the flow path A flow state change mechanism for changing to a second pouring state, and a vibrating mechanism for imparting vibration to a foamable beverage flowing through the flow path, and the vibrating mechanism is activated when the second pouring state is in the second pouring state. It is in the point of becoming.

When vibration is applied to an effervescent beverage by a vibrating mechanism, bubbles are generated by the dissolved carbon dioxide gas. When the flowing state of the effervescent beverage is in the first pouring state by the flow state change mechanism, the vibration is not applied by the vibrating mechanism and the generation of bubbles is suppressed, and in the second pouring state, the flow path is passed through the vibrating mechanism. Vibrating the effervescent beverage can cause a creamy froth. Therefore, it is possible to add a creamy foam in an appropriate amount without requiring skill.

The second characteristic configuration is configured such that a foamable beverage is poured from the spout by placing the portable container in an inclined spout position, and the flow state change mechanism quantifies the amount of spouted foamable beverage dispensed from the spout. Alternatively, it is configured to be changeable to a small amount, and the first injection state is a state when the injection amount is a fixed amount, and the second injection state is a state when the injection amount is a small amount.

When an effervescent beverage is to be poured out of a beer mug or the like, rapid dispensing is possible by securing a predetermined flow rate by measuring the amount of effervescent beverage poured out from the spout by a flow state changing mechanism as a quantity. On the other hand, when the foam is to be poured out of a beer mug or the like, the pouring amount is set to a small amount by the flow state change mechanism, and foam can be generated in that state. In short, since the pouring amount is small, there is no fear of excessive foaming. Therefore, it is possible to easily pour an appropriate amount of foam for a beer mug or the like without requiring skill.

In the third characteristic configuration, the flow path is composed of a plurality of flow pipes that communicate at least one of the inlet and the spout, and the flow state change mechanism includes at least one of the plurality of flow pipes. By closing the flow pipe, it is configured to change the pouring amount from a fixed amount to a small amount, and the vibrating mechanism imparts vibration to a foamable beverage flowing through another flow pipe that is not blocked among the plurality of flow pipes. .

With a simple configuration in which a plurality of flow pipes are prepared and at least one of them is closed, the amount of pouring can be easily changed.

The fourth characteristic configuration is that, among the plurality of flow pipes, the total flow path cross-sectional area of the flow pipe to be blocked by the flow state changing mechanism is set larger than that of the other flow pipes.

The flow pipe of the obstruction object is a flow path of the effervescent beverage. Accordingly, by setting the total flow path cross-sectional area of the flow path to be larger than the total flow path cross-sectional area of the flow pipe that is not to be blocked, it is possible to sufficiently secure the pouring amount of the foamable beverage. The flow pipe that is not subject to occlusion is a flow path of the effervescent beverage to generate bubbles. Accordingly, by setting the total flow path cross-sectional area of the flow path to be smaller than the total flow path cross-sectional area of the flow pipe to be blocked, bubbles can be reliably generated in the flow pipe, and the amount of bubbles can be set to an appropriate amount.

The fifth characteristic configuration is that of the plurality of flow pipes, the flow pipe to be blocked by the flow state change mechanism is a position where the flow pipe is relatively lower than the other flow pipe when the transfer container is in the ejection position. It is in a point that is arranged in

When pouring an effervescent beverage into a beer mug or the like, the fear that the excess foam generated in the carrying container is poured out together with the effervescent beverage is reduced.

In the sixth characteristic configuration, the flow path is composed of at least one flow pipe that communicates the receiving port and the spout provided at least one, and the flow state changing mechanism is configured to reduce the flow path cross-sectional area of the flow pipe. , The dispensing amount is changed from a fixed amount to a small amount, and the vibrating mechanism imparts vibration to the effervescent beverage flowing through the flow pipe.

When an effervescent beverage is to be poured out of a beer mug or the like, rapid dispensing is possible by securing a predetermined flow rate by measuring the amount of effervescent beverage poured out from the spout by a flow state changing mechanism as a quantity. On the other hand, when the foam is to be poured out of a beer mug or the like, the pouring amount is set to a small amount by the flow state change mechanism, and foam can be generated in that state. In short, since the pouring amount is small, there is no fear of excessive foaming. Therefore, it is possible to easily pour an appropriate amount of foam for a beer mug or the like without requiring skill.

In the seventh characteristic configuration, the flow state changing mechanism includes an operation portion, a movable portion, and a flexible tube disposed on at least a part of the flow pipe, and the movable portion interlocks with the operation of the operation portion to adjust the tube. It is in the point of turning on the starting switch of the above-mentioned vibrating mechanism while deforming the pressure pressure (押壓).

Since the flow state changing mechanism is a configuration in which the flexible tube is deformed by pressure to close the flow pipe or the cross-sectional area of the flow path is reduced, it can be realized simply, lightly and inexpensively without using a complicated and expensive mechanism.

In the eighth characteristic configuration, the flow state changing mechanism includes an operation portion, a movable portion, and a flow rate change valve disposed on at least a part of the flow pipe, and the movable portion interlocks with the operation of the operation portion to change the flow rate. In addition to changing the opening degree of the valve, the starting switch of the vibrating mechanism is turned on.

Since the flow rate change mechanism is configured to close the flow pipe or reduce the cross-sectional area of the flow path by opening and closing the flow rate change valve, the flow rate of the fluid can be reliably changed.

In the ninth characteristic configuration, the flow state changing mechanism includes a position maintaining mechanism for holding the movable part in a predetermined movable position, and the position maintaining mechanism includes the movable part when the movable part is not held in the movable position. When the operation part is operated, the movable part is maintained in the movable position to maintain the dispensing amount in a small amount, and when the operation part is operated when the movable part is held in the movable position, the holding is released to quantify the dispensing amount. It is in the point of keeping it.

By providing the position holding mechanism, even if the operation part is not continuously operated, the flow rate of the foamable beverage flowing through the flow path is maintained at a small amount. When the operation unit is operated again, the state in which the flow rate is small is released.

The tenth characteristic configuration is that the vibrating mechanism is stopped when the pouring amount is changed from a small amount to a fixed amount by the flow state changing mechanism.

With the operation of stopping the pouring of the effervescent beverage, the vibrating mechanism can also be stopped.

The eleventh characteristic configuration includes a gas supply mechanism for supplying gas to the inside of the portable container, and by increasing the internal pressure of the portable container by the gas supplied by the gas supply mechanism, the foamable beverage is discharged from the spout. While being configured to be poured out, the spout has a first spout and a second spout, and the flow path includes a first flow path communicating the intake port and the first spout, and the intake port A second flow path communicating with the second spout port is provided, and the flow state change mechanism is configured to enable selection of the first flow path or the second flow path, and the first pouring state is the first The first flow path is selected, and the second pouring state is a state in which the second flow path is selected.

When the first flow path is selected by the flow state change mechanism, vibration is not applied by the vibrating mechanism to suppress the generation of bubbles, and when the second flow path is selected, the flow path is flowed through the vibrating mechanism. By imparting vibration to the effervescent beverage, it can cause a creamy foam. Effervescent beverages and foams can be poured appropriately by preparing and using a suitable flow path for each.

The twelfth characteristic configuration is that the flow path cross-sectional area of the first flow path is set larger than the flow path cross-sectional area of the second flow path.

When pouring effervescent beverages into a beer mug, etc., a predetermined flow rate can be secured by quantifying the amount of effervescent beverage poured out from the spout by selecting the first flow path with a large cross-sectional area by means of a flow state change mechanism. There is, it becomes possible to take out quickly. On the other hand, when a beer mug or the like is to be poured out, by selecting a second flow path with a small flow path cross-sectional area by the flow state changing mechanism, the pouring amount can be reduced to a small amount, and bubbles can be generated in that state. In short, since the pouring amount is small, there is no fear of excessive foaming. Therefore, it is possible to easily pour an appropriate amount of foam for a beer mug or the like without requiring skill.

The thirteenth characteristic configuration includes a discharge path for discharging the gas supplied to the portable container, and the flow state change mechanism is the discharge when neither the first flow path nor the second flow path is selected. It is in the point of opening the path.

When none of the effervescent beverages and foams are poured out in the beer mug, etc., the gas supplied to the carrying container is released and the internal pressurized state is released, so that the effervescent beverage or foam suddenly flows through the first passage or the second passage. The fear of being ejected from the spout through the route is prevented.

The fourteenth characteristic configuration is that the vibrating mechanism is an ultrasonic generator, and the ultrasonic generator imparts vibration to a foamable beverage flowing through the flow path by means of ultrasonic waves.

Bubbles generated by vibrations of ultrasonic waves derived by the ultrasonic generating means can be made fine.

The fifteenth characteristic configuration is that the ultrasonic generator has a vibration frequency and vibration amplitude adjustment unit.

By changing the vibration frequency and vibration amplitude by the adjustment unit, the state of the ejected foam can be freely adjusted. Since the state of the foam generated varies depending on the state, type, and brand, such as the temperature of the effervescent beverage, it may be possible to store a plurality of optimal settings for each effervescent beverage accommodated in the portable container.

By the operation of the operation lever 54, the linkage portion 64 of the movable bar 57 turns the start switch 75 on and drives the tube 83 to be deformed so that the flow path cross-sectional area becomes small. The circuit activates the ultrasonic generator 72 to vibrate the piping part 84. When the beer passes through the piping portion 84, vibration is imparted to excite foaming, forming a creamy foam, and is poured into a beer mug or the like from the spout 82. When a desired amount of foam is poured out of a beer mug or the like, the user removes the thumb from the lowering portion 55 while returning the feature 10 from the pouring position to the normal position. As described above, to the beer poured from the pitcher 10 into a beer mug or the like, a creamy foam can be added in an appropriate amount without requiring skill. In addition, the vibrating surface 77 is not limited to the configuration in contact with the piping portion 84, and vibrates the tube 83 by contacting the tube 83, thereby vibrating the beer flowing through the tube 83. It may be a configuration to be provided and foamed.

At this time, by the position holding mechanism 90, the tip 92a of the pin 92 is fitted into the pin accommodating portion 91c, and the movable bar 571 is held in the movable position. Therefore, the user does not need to continue the operation of the operation lever 54.

When the beer flow pipe 441 is closed, the beer of the pitcher 10 can be poured out only from the combined flow pipe 451. In this way, the flow rate change mechanism 501 changes the amount of beer poured out of the spout 43 from a fixed amount to a small amount by closing at least one of the plurality of flow pipes.

When the user operates the operation lever 54 again, the restriction of the movement of the pin 92 by the position holding mechanism 90 is released, and the movable bar 57 is moved to the initial position by the elastic force of the compression spring 63. As it returns, the lock gear 601 rotates the valve body 482 via the pinion gear 484, the flow rate change valve 48 is opened, and the beer flow pipe 44 of the flow path 40 Silver blockage is released, and the amount of beer poured out from the spout 43 is changed from a small amount to a fixed amount. That is, in the present embodiment, the flow rate change mechanism 501 constitutes a flow state change mechanism for changing the flow state of beer passing through the flow path 401 to at least the first pouring state or the second pouring state, and The state in which the flow pipe 441 is not blocked by the flow rate change valve 48 constitutes the first pouring state, and the state in which the beer flow pipe 441 is closed by the flow rate change valve 48 is eliminated. 2 Configure the pouring state.
