Description

Technical field

The claimed technical solution relates to equipment for servicing food bottling points, and in particular to devices for sanitizing and cooling the beverage supply line.

State of the art

The prior art known selected as the closest analogue complex for sanitization, cooling and bottling [1].

In the complex taken for the closest analogue, a container with beer and a gas cylinder connected to it, as well as a system for sanitization are placed in sections of one building on which a beverage cooling device with an integrated taps is installed outside. The beer supply line is presented in the form of connected in series in the direction of beer supply, a device for switching hydraulic channels, a pipeline, a cooling coil of a cooling device and a taps, while the channel switching device is connected by a pipe to a tank filled with beer.

The sanitation system is presented as a water supply line connected to an external water supply and a water container in which a heating element is installed. The outlet pipe of the water container is connected to a check valve, which is connected to the water supply line between, installed on it in series in the water supply direction, the pump and shut-off valves, through which the water supply line is connected to an external water supply network. The switching device of the hydraulic channels is connected to the water supply line. The water container is connected through a stop valve to the drain line and is made with two inlet pipes.

For sanitization of the beer supply line, it is necessary to first dismantle the draft valve, connect the pipe outside the casing with one end to the nozzle of the beer cooler coil, and the other end to the inlet of the tank. Then manually disconnect the hydraulic channel switching device to disconnect the beer supply channel from the pipeline, which is directly connected to the coil, and connect the water supply line to this pipeline. Close the shutoff valves of the drain line. Open the shutoff valves and pump water from the external water supply network into the tank through the water supply line, coil and external pipe. Close the shut-off valves and disconnect the water supply line from the external water supply network. Heat the water in the tank with a heating element and then pump it cyclically through a closed loop pump through a non-return valve, a water supply line, a pipeline, a coil and a tank.

If necessary, detergent can be poured into the tank through the second inlet pipe, which is brought out of the housing.

At the end of the washing of the beer supply line, the spent liquid is removed from the tank through the drainage line, then the external pipe is manually dismantled by the worker, then a tapping valve is installed and the beer tank is connected to the beer supply line with the manual drive of the hydraulic channel switching device.

The disadvantages of the closest analogue are:

- before and after the sanitization, personnel must install and dismantle the taps and additional piping;

- placement of a container with beer and a gas cylinder in one housing with elements of a cleaning system and the implementation of a cooler with an integrated taps, allows the complex to interact with only one beverage supply line.

Industrial applicability

The complex is presented on the example of a module connected to two beverage supply lines through a distribution unit (2.6). The second beverage supply line is shown in FIG. 1 without designations, because its connection to the module is identical to the first, in addition, shutoff valves (1.1), (1.3), (2.5), (2.1), (3.1) are presented in the form of solenoid valves, which are controlled through the control unit (7), which also receives information with a liquid flow meter (2.3).

The beverage supply line (1) is connected to the intake barrel head (10.1) of the beverage reservoir (10), which is connected to the gas cylinder (11) by the gas supply line (11.1). The channel switching unit (9) is installed on the beverage supply line (1) between the beverage reservoir (10) and the beverage cooling device (6) and is connected to the liquid supply line (2), while the beverage cooling line (1.2) is part of the supply line drink (1). After the beverage cooling device (6), the beverage supply line (1) through the shutoff valves (1.3) and the tapping column (8) installed at the beverage tapping points is connected to the tapping valve (1.4). The channel switching unit (9) is presented in the form of shutoff valves (1.1), which is installed on the beverage supply line (1), and shutoff valves (2.5), through which the liquid supply line (2) is connected, between the beverage cooling device (6) and shutoff valves (1.1), to the beverage supply line (1).

The beverage cooling device (6) is provided with two beverage cooling lines (1.2), which are connected to two beverage supply lines (1).

The water source (4) is shown in (Fig. 1) in the form of a water tank placed in the module housing (13) and connected to the liquid supply line (2) on which shutoff valves (2.1), a pump ( 2.2) with a bypass (2.2a), a liquid flow meter (2.3) and a non-return valve (2.4), which helps prevent the reverse flow of liquid from the tank with the drink (10) through the open shut-off valve (1.1) during emergency opening of the shut-off valve (2.5). The tank with detergent (5) is connected to the fluid supply line (2) through the fluid supply line (3) on which the shut-off valve (3.1) is installed. The supply line (3) is connected to the liquid supply line (2) between the stop valves (2.1) and the pump (2.2) with a bypass (2.2a).

The complex can work in 3 modes:

- drink cooling mode;

- daily routine treatment of the beverage line;

- sanitization mode of the beverage supply line.

Depending on the number of beverage supply lines (1) connected to the control unit (7), the control of switching on and off the channel switching units (9) and shutoff valves (1.3) of each beverage supply line (1) is programmed accordingly

In the initial position, all valves are closed.

In the cooling mode of the drink, the worker through the control unit (7) turns on the mode, the stop valves (1.1) of the channel switching block (9) and the stop valves (1.3) open, the device for cooling the drink (6a) is turned on, the drink is under pressure from a gas cylinder (11) , after the employee opens the tapping tap (1.4), it flows from the reservoir (10) through the beverage supply line (1) through the channel switching unit (9), the beverage cooling device (6a) and the tapping column (8) to the tapping point.

In the daily preventive treatment mode of the beverage supply line (1), the worker switches on the mode through the control unit (7), closes the shutoff valves (1.1), and then opens the shutoff valves (2.5) of the channel switching block (9) and shutoff valves (2.1), the worker opens the taps (1.4). Water from the water source (4) comes under pressure, for example, from the water supply network (14) (Fig. 2) or due to the draft, which is automatically switched on at the set delay time, of the pump (2.2), through the liquid supply line through the liquid flow meter ( 2.3), a non-return valve (2.4) and shut-off valves (2.5) to the beverage supply line (1). Due to the pressure of the water, the remainder of the beverage is pushed out of the beverage supply line (1), through a taps (1.4), into a container previously installed by the worker (not shown in FIG.). The employee visually determines the yield of the remainder of the drink before the appearance of water from the tap (1.4). After that, the worker disables the mode through the control unit (7), as a result of which the shutoff valves (2.5) of the channel switching block (9), shutoff valves (2.1) are closed, the pump (2.2) is turned off and the shutoff valves (1.1) are opened.

In the sanitization mode of the beverage supply line (1), the worker activates the mode through the control unit (7), after which, as in the preventive mode, the product is pushed out of the beverage supply line by water (1) through the taps (1.4), and it closes shutoff valves (1.1), after which shutoff valves (2.5) of the channel switching unit (9) and shutoff valves (2.1) open, and a tap opens to the worker (1.4).

Further, according to the delay time set in the control unit (7), which is associated with the signal from the flowmeter (2.3), the shut-off valve (2.1) closes and the shut-off valve (3.1) opens. Detergent from the detergent container (5) is pumped (2.2) through the liquid supply line (3), the liquid supply line (2) to the beverage supply line (1). Water is pushed through an open tap (1.4) into a container previously installed by an employee (not shown in FIG.). After that, the signal from the flow meter (2.3) is sent to the control unit (7), the shutoff valves (3.1), (2.5) and (1.3) are automatically closed via the signal from the control unit (7), the detergent is delayed in the beverage supply line (1) ) for a certain time specified in the control unit of the module (7). After the set time has elapsed, the stop valves (2.1), (2.5) and (1.3) are opened. Water from the water source (4) enters the beverage supply line (1), under pressure from the water supply network (14) through the bypass (2.2a) (Fig. 2) or due to the draft, automatically switched on at the set delay time, of the pump (2.2) ) (Fig. 1), along the fluid supply line through the fluid flow meter (2.3), check valve (2.4) and shutoff valves (2.5). The detergent is displaced by water from the beverage supply line (1) into a container previously installed by the worker (not shown in FIG.). Water fills in the required amount of the beverage supply line (1). After that, the signal from the flow meter (2.3) enters the control unit (7), the shutoff valves (2.1), (2.5) and (1.3) are closed, the pump (2.2) is turned off. After that, the worker closes the tap (1.4) and through the control unit (7) the sanitary mode is turned off. Then, the control unit (7) automatically opens the shutoff valves (1.1) and (1.3).

When the cooling mode of the beverage is turned on, water from the beverage supply line (1) is displaced by the beverage through a dispenser tap (1.4) opened by an employee, a container previously installed by the employee (not shown in FIG.).

The use of a water source (4) in the form of a container with water in the housing (13) of the complex allows the daily preventive treatment of the beverage supply line and the sanitary treatment of the beverage supply line to be carried out independently, which makes it possible to place the spill point in any place convenient for the seller.

Accounting for the flow of water and detergent, as well as monitoring the inclusion and deactivation of the operating modes of the module, can be done through remote access using an external communication network (12) to the control unit (7). This allows remote metering of the detergent and water consumption at several spill points remote from one another.

It is possible to carry out a complex with a control unit that allows you to adjust the amount of water and detergent by separately turning the water and detergent on and off. This allows the operating modes of the module without the interaction of valves (1.3) and the channel switching unit (9) with the control unit (7). Thus, the complex can be operated in a semi-automatic mode, when the shutoff valves (2.5), (1.1) and (1.3) are opened and closed by the worker manually, which allows the complex to be used with various stationary and mobile spill points.
