RU71659U1 - DEVICE FOR PACKING, STORAGE, TRANSPORTATION, BEVERAGE FILLING - Google Patents

Abstract

A device for packaging, storage, transportation, bottling, characterized in that the drinks are poured into replaceable bags placed in a thermostated case, with a cooling jacket mounted in it. Before filling drinks, pressure is created in the housing by pumping into it, or into another bag, also placed in the housing, of air, or other gas. In the case, or one of the bags, ice, water, or dry, or another cold accumulator is placed. Upon delivery to the place of bottling, drinks are squeezed out of the bag, which opens the tap. The device provides a high degree of sterility, the necessary pressure and temperature, the complete absence of contact of drinks with air, during the entire process of packaging and storage of drinks. The device allows you to pack several different drinks in it at once. It is possible to use the device in any specially unprepared place, without the use of a cooler and carbon dioxide.

Description

The utility model relates to the food industry, in particular, to the preservation of the quality of the cast in the process of packaging, storage, transportation and bottling.

Some drinks (beer, wine, kvass, milk, mineral water, including carbonated, etc.), to preserve their quality, require special storage conditions, the main of which are sterility, ensuring the set temperature and pressure, as well as isolation drinks from contact with air, during the entire process from pumping drinks into containers, to filling them with the consumer.

Due to the fact that the existing device for storing drinks does not ensure the fulfillment of all these requirements, the drinks, before filling them in containers, are subjected to preservative effects, ensuring their safety, in particular, filtering, pasteurization, preservation, which significantly impair taste and other advantages drinks, and, often, are unhealthy.

A device for storing, transporting and bottling beer is known. See RF patents RU 2171834. 2000.11.09, RU 43539. 2004.05.25, RU 45997. 2005.01.19. This device, to a large extent, ensures the fulfillment of these requirements and allows you to implement "live" drinks, in particular beer, i.e. without applying conservation techniques to it.

The device includes an external thermostatically controlled housing, an internal container, a cooling jacket located between the body and the internal container, valves for pumping drink and carbon dioxide, a valve to maintain the set pressure in the tank, a cooler and a carbon dioxide cylinder, which can be integrated into the body . The device operates as follows.

Pressure is created in the tank by injection of carbon dioxide from a cylinder. Then, a drink is pumped into the container under a pressure higher than the created one. Upon delivery to the bottling place, the shirt is connected to the cooler, and the liquid circulating around the shirt, cooled by the cooler, cools the drink. From the carbon dioxide cylinder connected to the tank, gas is pumped into the tank, squeezing the drink out of it and maintaining the necessary pressure. The device ensures the absence of contact of the drink with oxygen, maintaining the set pressure and temperature after delivery of the device to the place of bottling. Sterility is ensured by a thorough washing of the container before each filling of the drink.

The disadvantage of this device is the lack of a mechanism for maintaining a given temperature during transportation. In addition, the device is quite expensive to manufacture and maintain, as made of stainless steel, requires a high level of processing of the inner surface, requires a high degree of tightness. The device requires a prepared filling point. Tank washing technology is also expensive.

Closest to the claimed is a device with two bags. See patent RU 43864 2004.09.20. In this device, the drink is poured into one of two bags placed in one case, with the created back pressure created in the other bag. After delivery to the place of filling, the drink is squeezed out of the first bag by the pressure created in the second.

This device provides sterility, the necessary pressure, the absence of contacts of the drink with oxygen, is simple to perform and maintain, however, it does not provide the maintenance of the required temperature.

Thus, none of the known devices provides all the requirements in the complex, throughout the entire process.

The technical result of the claimed device is to provide all the requirements for the storage, transportation and bottling of drinks, namely, a high level of sterility, maintaining the required level of temperature and pressure, lack of contact with air, throughout the entire technological cycle from the filling of the drink to its bottling to the consumer.

Another technical result is the simplification and cheapening of the device in the manufacture and maintenance, the use of the device for several varieties, or types of drinks, as well as its use in any place not previously prepared.

The result is achieved by the fact that the device contains a thermostatically controlled container with a built-in cooling jacket, inside of which there are one, two, or more bags, isolated from the container and from each other, into which drinks are poured, gas is pumped, to create pressure and a cold battery is laid , to maintain a low temperature.

Figure 1 shows the design of the device with two bags. It consists of a thermostatic housing 1, with a cooling jacket 2 mounted in it, a cover 3, with a bag 4 attached to it, a cover 5, with a bag 6 attached to it, a tap for filling and bottling drinks 7, they can be separate, a tap for injection of air, or other gas 8, to create a back pressure, safety valve 9, to regulate the pressure.

The device operates as follows: A cold accumulator 10 is placed in the bag 4, in an amount necessary to ensure a low temperature of the liquid, before connecting the jacket to the cooler. The bag is attached to the lid 3, and the lid is inserted into the housing. The bag 6 is attached to the cover 5 and the cover is inserted into the housing. Crane 7 is open. Through the valve 8, air or other gas is pumped into the bag 4, squeezing out all the residual air from the bag 6. Crane 7 closes. Pressure is created in the tank and the valve 8 closes. Valve 9 controls the amount of pressure. Through the valve 7, a drink is pumped into the bag 6, under a pressure slightly higher than previously created. In this case, the valve 9 controls the residual pressure in the tank. After pouring the drink, the valve 7 is closed.

Upon delivery to the place of bottling, the cooling jacket 2 is connected to the cooler, and the bag 4, through the valve 8, is connected to the compressor, or a gas cylinder. By supplying gas to the bag 4, the drink is squeezed out of the bag 6, through an open valve 7.

The cold accumulator can be embedded in the case and in the bag 6, while the battery must be sealed.

Fig. 2 shows the design of the device with two bags for drinks, covered with an elastic membrane.

The device operates as follows:

A cold accumulator is placed in the housing 1. Bags 4 and 5 are attached to the lid 3, and the lid is attached to the body. Bags, however, are under the elastic membrane. Air or other gas is pumped through the valve 6 into the housing, pressing the membrane against the housing and squeezing out the residual air from the bags 4 and 5. The valves 7 and 8 are closed and the necessary pressure is created in the container. Through taps 7 and 8, drinks, which can be of different varieties and types, are poured into bags 4 and 5 into counter-pressure bags. After filling, the taps 7 and 8 are closed. Upon delivery to the place, the cooling jacket 2 is connected to the cooler,

and tap 6 to the compressor, or gas cylinder. By supplying gas, the drink is squeezed out of a bag with an open tap.

There can be one bag for drinks, there can be more than two. The device may be without a membrane, in this case, the beverage bags can be separated by partitions. In all cases, the cooler and compressor, or cylinder with gas, can be built into the body, transported with the device, connected to the vehicle’s power system and work during transportation. Tanks can be of various sizes, from retail 3-5 liter, to large transport tanks.

Comparison of the claimed utility model with prototypes allows us to claim compliance with the criterion of "novelty."

Simplicity of designs and preliminary tests convince of the possibility of industrial use.

The application of the invention will provide the population with high-quality drinks - milk, beer, kvass, mineral water, etc., without exposing them to preservative effects that impair the quality of drinks.
