TH24971U - Real-time liquid measurement and alerting system for beverage production processes - Google Patents

Abstract

OCR 30/05/2024 The real-time liquid measurement and alert system for the beverage production process consists of two liquid conveying pipes: the first (21) and the second (22). The first (21) and the second (22) convey different liquids into the mixing chamber. The first (21) and the second (22) are equipped with the following sensors: a dissolved solids concentration sensor (10), a first pressure sensor (11), a pH sensor (12), a first temperature probe sensor (13), a second pressure sensor (14), a second temperature probe sensor (15), and a flow meter (16). The processing unit (20) takes the data obtained from the sensors. These measurements are then processed to identify abnormalities and standard values in the liquid mixing ratio in real-time, for the purpose of providing alerts.

OCR 30/05/2024 1. Real-time liquid measurement and alert system for beverage production process. It consists of a first liquid conveyor pipe (21) and a second liquid conveyor pipe (22). The first liquid conveyor pipe (21) and the second liquid conveyor pipe (22) are responsible for conveying different liquids to be mixed in the mixing chamber. A special feature is that at least the first liquid conveyor pipe (21) is equipped with a sensor to measure the concentration of dissolved solids in the solution (10), which is measured in Brix. It measures the concentration of dissolved solids in the liquid solution in the conveyor system of the first liquid conveyor pipe (21). The first pressure sensor (11) measures the liquid pressure within the system. The first fluid conveyor pipe (21) has a pH sensor (12) that measures the pH of the fluid inside the first fluid conveyor pipe (21). The first temperature probe sensor (13) measures the temperature of the fluid inside the first fluid conveyor pipe (21). The second fluid conveyor pipe (22) has at least a second pressure sensor (14) that measures the pressure of the fluid inside the second fluid conveyor pipe (22). The second temperature probe sensor (15) measures the temperature of the second fluid conveyor pipe (22). The flow meter (16) measures the flow rate of the fluid. The flow of the second liquid conveying pipe (22) is as follows: a. The dissolved solids concentration sensor (10) is connected to the processor (20) to send dissolved solids concentration data to the processor (20). When the processor (20) receives the dissolved solids concentration data, it is recorded as the first data. b. The first pressure sensor (11) is connected to the processor (20) to send pressure data in the first liquid conveying pipe system (21) to the processor (20). When the processor (20) receives the pressure data in the first liquid conveying pipe system, it is recorded as the first data. The first liquid (21) will be recorded as the second data. C. The pH sensor (12) will be connected to the processor (20) to send the pH data in the first liquid (21) conveying system to the processor (20). When the processor (20) receives the pH data in the first liquid (21) conveying system, it will be recorded as the third data. D. The first temperature probe sensor (13) will be connected to the processor (20) to send the temperature data of the liquid in the first liquid (21) conveying system to the processor (20). When the processor (20) receives the temperature data of the liquid in the first liquid (21) conveying system, it will be recorded as the fourth data. E. The second pressure sensor (14) will be connected to the processor (20) to send the pressure data in the second liquid (22) conveying system to the processor (20). When the processor (20) receives the pressure data in the second liquid (21) conveying system, it will be recorded as the fourth data. The second liquid conveyor (22) will record the fifth data. The second Temperature Probe sensor (15) will be connected to the processor (20) to send the liquid temperature data in the second liquid conveyor (22) to the processor (20). When the processor (20) receives the liquid temperature data in the second liquid conveyor (22), it will record it as the sixth data. The Flow Meter sensor (16) will be connected to the processor (20) to send the liquid flow rate data in the second liquid conveyor (22) to the processor (20). When the processor (20) receives the liquid flow rate data in the second liquid conveyor (22), it will record it as the seventh data. The processor (20) will take the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh data and check whether the values measured by the sensors are normal or not. In the case that the concentration (BRIX) or pressure in the liquid conveying system is not within the predetermined standard range, If an abnormality is detected, the processor (20) will trigger a real-time visual and audible alert (23). The processor (20) will take the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh data points, check the values measured by the sensors, and display them as a real-time graph on the display (24) to show the data, and will immediately command the shut-off valve (25) to stop the flow of fluid.
