Description

The utility model relates to the field of food industry, in particular to commercial equipment, and can be used for dispensing beer and other foaming and / or carbonated drinks from an isobaric container into plastic bottles at retail kiosks, shops, restaurants and bars.

Known mechanisms for fastening the neck of the bottle to the open end of the drain channel of the device for filling foaming and / or carbonated drinks, implemented in many automated lines (US patent No. 6601618, IPC B67C 3/06, publ. 08/05/2003; US patent No. 6192946, IPC B65B 1/04, published February 27, 2001; Australian patent No. 491145, IPC B67 3/10, 3/06, published 1978; Wolfgang Kunze. Technology of malt and beer. - St. Petersburg, “Profession ", 2001. - p. 566-567; Technological equipment of canneries, - M, 1986. - p. 418-419), each of which contains an elastic ring seal, Formation at the end of the drain channel, a table for placing the bottle in alignment drain channel and a mechanism of axial movement of the bottle with a table for pressing the end face of the neck of the bottle to the annular elastic seal end of the drain duct device for dispensing of foaming and / or carbonated beverages.

The disadvantages of such designs is the impossibility of attaching thus a plastic bottle to the end of the drain channel of the device for filling foaming and / or carbonated drinks due to the insufficient stiffness of the specified plastic bottle.

The known mechanism for attaching the neck of a plastic bottle to an automatic liquid dispensing device (RF Patent No. 2060926, IPC В67С 3/04, publ. 05/27/1996), including an o-ring mounted at the end of the drain channel and spring-loaded neck grips of the plastic bottle located in the same place, connected curly swivel brackets with the rods of the drive of the specified mechanism.

However, the specified mechanism for attaching the neck of a plastic bottle to the end of the drain channel is used in production lines for filling liquid, has a rather complicated structure, which cannot be used in devices for manual liquid filling.

The closest analogue (prototype) is the mechanism for attaching the neck of a plastic bottle to the drain channel of a device for manual filling of foaming and / or carbonated drinks, comprising a hollow body with a control handle located around the wall of the drain channel with the possibility of rotation and axial reciprocating movement and a spoon with a groove corresponding to the size of the neck of the PET bottle, attached to the body and installed in front of the open end of the drain channel having an elastic ring seal, respectively according to the diameter of the neck of the PET bottle. The case of the mechanism is kinematically connected to the wall of the drain channel by a bayonet connection. The bayonet connection is a blind screw groove made in the wall of the drain channel, in which an axis with a roller is mounted, attached to the housing of the fastening mechanism of the neck of a plastic bottle (RF Patent for Utility Model No. 36370, IPC B67D 1/06, published March 10, 2004 .).

The disadvantage of this mechanism is the insufficient service life due to the fact that the case of the mechanism, if it is made of a polymeric material, is rapidly destroyed, and of the metal it is unevenly worn out with the formation of unacceptable gaps between parts. These drawbacks are associated with the fact that a blind screw groove with a bayonet coupling roller is made only on one side of the housing and above the mounting point of the rotary handle; as a result, when turning this handle, an increased uneven load is formed on the mechanism body, which leads to its rapid wear.

A device for dispensing beer is known, comprising an isobaric container with beer or several such containers with different types of beer, a beer pressurization system, a cooling system and a dispenser equipped with a piping system with dispensers for dispensing a beverage for dispensing into small containers and a pipeline for dispensing beer to the dispenser, which is made in the form of a closed loop and is equipped with a pump for circulating the drink through it and a cooler (US Patent No. 6164083, IPC B67D 1/08, publ. 12/26/2000).

However, the known device is not suitable for bottling a drink in plastic bottles from isobaric containers.

A device is known for manual filling of foaming and / or carbonated drinks, including a gas cylinder, a keg with a drink, a refrigerator, a rack with a tap for dispensing a drink in small containers and a unit for extinguishing foam when dispensing a drink, installed in a drain pipe of the tap (Int. application WO 00/58201, IPC B67D 1/14, publ. 05.10.2000).

However, this device allows you to pour drinks only in small containers (mugs, glasses) with a low pouring speed and does not provide their bottling with back pressure in plastic bottles from isobaric containers.

The closest technical solution (prototype) is a device for manual filling of foaming and / or carbonated drinks, including (RF Patent No. 2266862, IPC В67С 3/02, publ. 12/27/05) a housing having a drain channel, a channel connected to the supply pipe gas from a gas cylinder, a channel connected to the pipeline for supplying a drink from an isobaric container, a nozzle for attaching the neck of a plastic bottle to the open end of the drain channel, located on the housing at the drain channel and a throttle valve installed in the housing and connected to drain channel, and a node for extinguishing foam is placed in the drain channel. The channels connected to the pipelines for supplying gas and drink are connected by an additional channel to the drain channel through a three-way valve mounted on the body of the mechanism for filling the drink into plastic bottles. The three-way valve contains a cylindrical body with a cover, in the bottom of which there are two through supply holes and one outlet hole, as well as an upper rotatably mounted coaxially mounted upper disk and a lower disk mounted motionless. The upper disk is rigidly connected through a hole in the lid with a handle located outside the body of the three-way valve, through holes are made in the lower disk coaxially with the holes in the bottom of the body. In the body of the upper disk, from the side of the lower disk and opposite its openings, a blind groove in the shape of a crescent is made for the communication of one of the supply openings of the housing with its discharge opening. A ring elastic seal is placed around the handle under the housing cover to tighten the upper and lower disks to each other and to the bottom of the case, and elastic sealing rings are installed in the openings of the bottom of the case. The attachment site of the neck of the plastic bottle to the end of the drain channel contains an elastic ring element attached to the end of the drain channel coaxially with its outlet and a spoon with a handle and a groove corresponding to the size of the neck of the plastic bottle, and the cylindrical part of the spoon is located around the end of the drain channel at the outlet and kinematically connected to the wall of the drain channel by a bayonet connection, and the groove of the spoon is located in front of the outlet of the drain channel. The bayonet joint is a blind helical groove made in the wall of the drain channel, in which an axis with a roller is mounted, attached to the cylindrical part of the spoon of the fastening mechanism of the neck of a plastic bottle. The specified node allows you to quickly and tightly connect the neck of a plastic bottle with the end of the drain channel of the device for manual filling of foaming and / or carbonated drinks.

The disadvantages of this device are the low reliability and insufficient service life of the three-way tap-cartridge and the attachment point of the neck of the plastic bottle to the end of the drain channel. This is due to the fact that a drink enters between the moving parts of the cartridge-cartridge, which contributes to the formation of beer stone, which reduces the mobility of these parts, increases their mechanical wear and the complexity of technological maintenance of the device as a whole, associated with frequent washing of the device elements and seals after the beer is bottled or another drink. The rapid destruction of the attachment point of the plastic bottle to the end of the drain channel of the device is associated with the fact that a blind screw groove with a bayonet coupling roller is made only on one side of the housing and above the mounting location of the rotary handle, as a result of which increased loads are formed when the housing and handle are rotated during container mounting on the case of the mechanism, which lead to its rapid wear and destruction, especially in the place of attachment of the roller.

The technical result of the utility model is to increase the service life and increase the reliability of the fastening mechanism of the neck of the container and the beverage dispensing device as a whole, as well as simplifying their technological maintenance.

The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that in the mechanism of fastening the neck of the container to the drain channel of the device for manual filling of foaming drinks under pressure, containing an annular elastic-elastic gasket attached coaxially around the outlet of the drain channel and a spoon with a rotary handle and a groove corresponding to the size of the neck of the container moreover, the cylindrical part of the spoon is located around the drain channel with the possibility of rotation and reciprocating movement and has a blind screw in its wall according to a utility model, a second or several additional blind screw grooves are located in the same direction as the first screw groove, in each of which is mounted with a rotary groove, in which a roller mounted to the wall of the cylindrical part of the spoon is mounted; the possibility of rotation of the roller attached to the wall of the cylindrical part of the spoon, and a rotary handle attached to the outer surface of the spoon at the level of attachment of the rollers to it.

The specified technical result is also achieved by the fact that in the device for manual filling of foaming drinks under pressure into a container, comprising a housing with a beverage supply fitting from a pressure container in which a drain channel is located, a tap connected to the inlet fitting and the drain channel; the attachment point of the neck of the container to the outlet of the drain channel located around the lower part of the housing; a throttle valve with a drain fitting installed in the wall of the housing and a unit for extinguishing foam, located at the outlet of the drain channel, according to a utility model, the valve is made in the form of a movable rod with an annular valve at its lower end and an axial channel open from the lower end, connected through a radial through hole in the side wall with a drain fitting through a throttle valve and installed in the axisymmetric cavity of the housing with the formation of a drain channel and a ring valve seat between them and with axial reciprocating movement of the rod and opening the annular valve of the drain channel for supplying the beverage to the container in one of its extreme positions under the action of a handle with an eccentric kinematically connected to the body with the possibility of rotation and with the rod through the eccentric and blocking the drain channel with an annular valve in the other extreme position under the action of a spring located between the housing and the annular valve of the rod, moreover, the drain channel is connected through the annular cavity of the housing by a radial channel for supplying drinks with a nozzle supplying the drink, and the attachment point of the container neck to the outlet of the drain channel is made in the form of a mechanism according to claim 1.

A device for manual filling of foaming drinks under pressure into a container 1 includes a housing 2 with a beverage inlet fitting 3 from a pressure vessel in which a drain channel 4 is located, a tap connected to the inlet fitting 3 and the drain channel 4 with an end seal made in the form of an annular elastic-elastic gaskets 5, a throttle valve 6 with a drainage fitting 7 and a mounting unit for the neck of the container to the outlet of the drain channel 4 located outside the housing 2. The crane is made in the form of a movable rod 8 with a wok it is surrounded by an annular valve 9 and an axial channel 10 open from the lower end, connected through radial through holes 11 in its side wall, cover and housing 2 with a drain fitting 7 through a throttle valve 6 and mounted in an axisymmetric cavity 12 of the housing 2 with the formation between them the above drain channel 4, which is an annular gap and seats of the annular valve 9. The rod 8 is mounted with the possibility of axial reciprocating movement and opening of the annular valve 9 of the drain channel 4 for supply drink into the container 1 in one of its extreme positions under the action of the handle 13 with an eccentric 14, kinematically connected with the rod 8 with the possibility of rotation and with the cover 15 of the housing 2 through the eccentric 14. The rod 8 is also installed with the possibility of blocking the drain channel 4 by an annular valve 9 in another extreme position under the action of a spring 16 located between the cover 15 of the housing 2 and the annular valve 9. The annular drain channel 4 is connected by the beverage supply channel 17 to the beverage supply fitting 3. The device may be provided with a second throttle valve m 18 connected to an axial passage 10 through the stem 8 a radial through hole 19 and fitting 20, the gas supply pressure. The node for extinguishing foam is made in the form of an annular protrusion 21 located on the outer surface of the lower end of the movable rod 8.

The attachment site of the neck of the tank 1 to the outlet of the drain channel 4 is made in the form of a mechanism that contains an annular elastic-elastic gasket 5 attached coaxially around the outlet of the drain channel 4 and a spoon 22 with a rotary handle 23 and a groove 24 corresponding to the neck of the tank 1. The cylindrical part 25 of the spoon 22 is located around the drain channel 4 with the possibility of rotation and reciprocating movement and has in the wall two or more blind screw grooves 26 and 27 located evenly and at the same level, in each of which a roller 28 is mounted for rotation, attached to the wall of the cylindrical portion 25 of the spoon. The rotary handle 23 is attached to the outer surface of the spoon 22 at the level of attachment of the rollers 28 to it.

A device for manual filling of foaming drinks and a mechanism for attaching the neck of the container to the specified device operate as follows. The neck of the tank 1 is installed under the drain channel 4 of the device (FIGS. 2 and 3) in the groove 24 of the spoon 22 and the handle 23 is turned, in which the spoon 22 presses the neck of the tank 1 tightly over the annular flange to the gasket 5, connecting the cavity of the tank 1 with the outlet of the drain channel 4.

When the device is operating with one throttle valve 6 (Figs. 1, 2), turn the handle 13 down, the eccentric 14 of which moves the rod 8 upward, compressing the spring 16, opening the valve 9 and the annular drain channel 4. In the final position of the handle 13, the drain channel 4 is maximally open, and the hole of the drain valve 6 is closed. In this case, the drink enters the container 1 until the pressure in the container 1 is less than in the keg. Further filling is possible only after opening the outlet of the throttle valve 6 by turning it counterclockwise. The bleeding air passes through the axial channel 10 of the rod 8, through the radial hole 11, the outlet of the valve 6 and the drainage nozzle 7. Passing through the outlet of the drain channel 4 (Fig. 2), the annular jet of beverage is deflected due to the protrusion 21 at the end of the rod 8 a conical shape film is formed, which is fed to the walls of the neck of the container 1 and then flows smoothly along the walls of the container, preventing foaming. After filling the drink, the operator returns the handle 13 to a vertical position, the rod 8 is lowered to its original position under the action of the spring 16, the drain channel 4 is blocked by an annular valve 9, the container 1 is depressurized by turning the handle 23, is removed from the groove 24 of the spoon 22 and is closed by the lid. Thus, the utility model provides the bottling of a drink under pressure with simpler technical means without the use of gas, for example, CO ₂ .

When the device is operated with two throttle valves 6 and 18 (Figs. 7 and 8), the handle 13 in its initial position is in the upper vertical position. Then open the drain valve 18 and the CO ₂ gas from the nozzle 20 is supplied under pressure through the radial hole 19, the channel 10 of the rod 8 into the container 1, the pressure in which is equalized to the pressure in the nozzle 20. Then turn the handle 13 down, the eccentric 14 of which moves the rod 8 upward, compressing the spring 16, opening the valve 9 and the annular drain channel 4. In the final position of the handle 13, the drain channel 4 is maximally open, and the holes of the drain valves 6 and 18 are closed. Next, the throttle valve 6 is smoothly opened to gradually remove gas from the tank 1 through the drain fitting 7 into the atmosphere. A pressure differential is created in the beverage supply fitting 3 and the container 1, whereby the beverage fills the container 1. Passing through the outlet of the drain channel 4 (FIG. 2), the ring jet of the drink is formed in the form of a conical film and is fed to the walls of the mouth of the container 1 and then smoothly flows down the walls of the tank, preventing foaming. The elimination of foaming is also ensured by creating a gas pressure in the filling system and above the surface of the drink in the container 1, which exceeds the saturation pressure of the gas dissolved in the drink. After filling the container 1 with a drink to stop its further flow from the nozzle 3, the handle 13 is lifted vertically upwards, as a result of which the spring 16 lowers the rod 8, blocking the drain channel 4 by means of an annular valve 9. The remaining gas in the neck of the container 1 and partially dissolved gas released from the beverage, removed through the axial channel 10, the hole 11, the throttle valve 6 and the fitting 7 in the atmosphere. After equalizing the pressure in the tank 1 to atmospheric, the handle 23 is turned, disconnecting the end of the drain channel 4 from the neck of the tank 1, which is removed from the filling device, closed with a stopper and released to the consumer.

Improving the reliability of the design of the beverage dispensing device consists in reducing the contact surface of the moving parts of the tap, which ensures their wear and tear, as well as freer access to all parts of the mechanism in contact with the drinks being poured, which simplifies the process of servicing the device associated with washing the nodes and parts of the mechanism after bottling beer or another drink. An increase in the service life and an increase in the reliability of the mechanism for fastening the neck of the container is ensured by a more uniform distribution of the mechanical load on the body of the spoon, since several screw grooves with rollers are made in the design, and the control handle is attached to the case of the spoon in the same plane with the places of attachment of the rollers on it.
