Abstract

The self-service counter comprises at least one beverage dispensing unit (1) as a tapping device that is rotatably rotatable about a vertical axis by a rotary mechanism (17) and includes at least two sensors (2) for positioning, locking and switching the dispensing unit (1) in one of the locations 15, wherein the location 15 comprises a customer display (3) and a call button (4).

Description

The technical solution relates to a turntable located on self-service tables in refreshment facilities.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

At present various refreshment self-service facilities are known, for example in Slovak utility model no. 3782 discloses a mobile beverage dispensing device comprising a pedestal on which a pedestal is placed over which a cylinder is provided at its bottom with a tight stopper and the cylinder is further provided with a drain cock, the top of the cylinder is equipped with a vent plug . US 913454 discloses a beverage dispensing device that is self-service and computer-controlled, where a customer activates the entire device with a credit card. The card-operated beverage dispensing system also operates on a similar principle and is described in US 5291004. Other self-service distribution systems known, for example, from FR 2759073, WO 9936347 or KR 207130 are known in the art. for one customer they serve.

Also known are small consumer packages in a volume of five to ten liters which are provided by the manufacturer with an outlet opening and the beverage can be dispensed directly by the consumer by means of a dispensing device. The disadvantage of such beverage filling is that it is necessary to have a separate dispensing device or that the packages are usually of low volume and disposable use, which considerably increases the price of the beverage.

The essence of the technical solution

These drawbacks are largely eliminated by the solution according to the present invention, which consists in that the self-service desk comprises at least one beverage dispensing unit which is rotatable about a vertical axis by a geared motor drive and comprises at least two sensors for positioning, locking and switching the dispensing units in one of the locations where the location is equipped with a display and a call button. In order to avoid torsional stress and deterioration of the conduit when the dispensing unit is moved between locations, the conduit passes through a rotating mechanism consisting of a fixed and rotating part where the beverage and the cooling water are guided through channels separated by the O-rings. The self-service desk further comprises a PLC control unit connected to the cash register by means of customer display locations, wherein the PLC control unit is also connected to sensors, a flow meter and a vent that serve to measure and block the flow of beverage from the beverage cartridge to the dispensing unit. At the cashier, the customer selects the amount of beverage that he / she can dispense with a dispensing unit at a self-service counter at the appropriate location. The dispensing unit is capable of dispensing a beverage only at a sensor location and with a non-zero credit for dispensing a specified quantity of beverage, wherein the corresponding display shows the credit value and the corresponding amount of beverage available at the corresponding display. When the credit is exhausted, the beverage dispensing is blocked by the valve. With a self-service counter, multiple customers can be served by a single dispensing unit, who has an overview of the beverage purchased through individual displays.

Examples of technical solution

The self-service desk consists of a beverage container 8, a CO2 bottle 13, a cooling unit 12, a heat exchanger 9, comprising at least one beverage dispensing unit 1 as a dispensing device which is rotatable by a motor drive 11 about a vertical axis and comprises at least two locking sensors 2 for positioning; blocking and switching the dispensing unit 1 in one of the locations 15, where the location is equipped with a display display 3 and a call button 4. The self-service desk further comprises a PLC control unit 10 for controlling the beverage dispensing process connected to the cash register 5; also with locking sensors 2, display displays 3, call buttons 4 * with flow meter 6 and valve 7, which serve to measure and block the flow of beverage through line 14 from beverage cartridge 8 to dispensing unit 1. At the cash register 5 the customer determines the amount of beverage which you can issue The dispensing unit 1 is capable of dispensing a beverage only at a location 15 with sensors 2 and with a prepaid credit for dispensing a specified quantity of beverage, wherein at the corresponding location 15 with sensors 2 the corresponding display display 3 shows the credit and amount of beverage available. After the credit has been exhausted, the dispensing of the beverage is blocked by a valve 7, which is controlled by a tapping lever 18, a drawbar 16 and a sensor 2. In a self-service store, more customers can be served by one dispensing unit 1. to torsionally stress and damage the conduit 14 when the dispensing unit 1 is moved between the locations 15, the conduit 14 passes through a rotary mechanism 17, which consists of a fixed and rotary part, where the beverage and cooling water are passed through channels 20 separated by O-rings 19,
