Description

Beverage dispensing valve capable of inducing smooth beverage dispensing}

The present invention relates to a beverage dispensing valve capable of inducing smooth beverage discharge, and more particularly, by separating a movement passage for beverages discharged from a beverage bottle and a movement passage for air flowing into the beverage bottle, so that the beverage is discharged from the beverage bottle. It relates to a beverage dispensing valve that can easily induce smooth beverage discharge.

Conventionally, at least one beverage discharge valve is installed in a cold/hot water dispenser or a water purifier for supplying cold/hot water or a beverage dispenser for supplying carbonated beverages.

According to a representative example of the beverage dispensing valve, a shaft extending vertically inside the valve body, and a discharge port opening and closing member made of silicon, for example, installed at the lower end of the shaft to open and close the discharge port extending to the lower surface of the valve body, the above A dispensing control lever for dispensing the actual beverage that is pivotally coupled to the upper end of the shaft exposed to the upper side of the valve body, and disposed on the outer circumference of the shaft inside the valve body to operate the shaft when the dispensing control lever is released. It is equipped with an elastic spring to lower it.

According to such a beverage dispensing valve, the shaft is normally held in its original position by the elastic spring and the outlet opening and closing member keeps the outlet of the valve body closed, but when the dispensing operation lever is pulled or pushed, the shaft As rises, the outlet opening/closing member coupled to the lower end of the shaft also rises, opening the outlet to discharge the beverage.

In the case of a conventional beverage dispensing valve, the beverage discharged by the air flowing into the beverage container is obstructed as the beverage is discharged, so it has a disadvantage that smooth discharge is not achieved.

On the other hand, the above-mentioned background art is technical information that the inventor possessed for derivation of the present invention or acquired in the process of derivation of the present invention, and cannot necessarily be said to be known art disclosed to the general public prior to filing the present invention. .
