Definitions
- This invention relates to control apparatus and more specifically to a liquid dispenser for mixing a liquid concentrate with a liquid diluent in a given ratio.
- the invention finds particular application in liquid food dispensers such as those which mix a concentrate with a diluent at the time of demand.
- Exemplary of the type of machine in which this invention finds application is a fruit juice dispenser wherein a refrigerated concentrate and a chilled water are mixed upon demand to provide a drink which tastes very much like fresh fruit juicev
- Various types of dispensing apparatus have been used in the past for mixing and dispensing liquid foods. These include the type wherein the flow of water through an aspirator causes the flow of concentrate therewith into a mixing chamber. Another arrangement has a metering device wherein a fixed quantity of the concentrate is supplied each time the device is actuated and then the diluent is simply added to it.
- One of the chief disadvantages of the aspirator arrangement is the dimensional criticalness of the elements of the aspirator and the problems in keeping them clean.
- the second type of device offers another disadvantage in that it must generally be set to dispense only a particular quantity each time the device is actuated. In other words, the measured quantity must be mixed with only a certain quantity of diluent if the resulting drink is to have the desired strength.
- the diluent is supplied at a substantially constant pressure and is supplied to the mixing area through a control valve and metering arrangement wherein, when the control valve is open, the water is supplied to the mixing area due to its own pressure, at a rate selected with respect to the pumping rate of the concentrate pump, such that the desired ratio of concentrate to diluent is supplied to the mixing area when both the pump and the diluent control valve are actuated simultaneously.
- reference numeral 10 generally designates a liquid food dispenser which is housed in an appropriate housing or case, such as that shown in phantom outline and designated by the numeral 11.
- concentrate storing means such as tank 12 which is adapted to contain a supply of liquid food concentrate 13 at substantially atmos pheric pressure.
- diluent supply means 14 which preferably includes a storage tank 15 having an inlet pipe 16 which is adapted to be connected to a source of liquid diluent, such as water, preferably provided at a substantially constant pressure, greater than atmospheric.
- a pressure regulator valve 17 may be connected in inlet line 16.
- a refrigeration unit 20 is also mounted in housing 11 and is shown schematically in the drawing.
- the exact construction of this refrigeration unit is not a part of the invention and it may be any commercially available refrigeration unit having two evaporators. In this particular case, one of these evaporators includes a plurality of coils '21 wrapped around the diluent tank 15 and the second evaporator includes a plurality of coils 22 wrapped around the concentrate tank 12 to keep it at the desired temperature.
- the dispenser includes a dispensing nozzle 23 which preferably includes a mixing chamber or area 24 connected to an outlet chamber or area 25 by a restricted passage 26. If it is desired to aerate the mixed liquid, as is necessary in dispensing many beverages, an aeration port 27 may be placed immediately downstream of the restricted passage 26.
- a concentrate conduit 30 connects concentrate tank 12 with mixing chamber 24 and includes a portion 31 which extends into the lower portion of tank 12.
- a pump 32 which is operable to pump concentrate from tank 12 to mixing area 24 at a constant predetermined rate.
- Pump 32 is preferably, but not necessarily, of the compressible-tube type. This type of pump is well known in the prior art and may be, for example, of the general type shown in the De Bakey Patent No.
- This type of pump utilizes a flexible tube 33 which is compressed by a roller 34 which passes over it to positively displace fluid through the flexible tube.
- Roller 34 is driven by a rotary motor 35 connected to it through appropriate gearing or the like, shown schematically at 36.
- Diluent tank 15 is connected to mixing chamber 24 by a diluent conduit 40.
- This conduit may extend around tank 15 in a coil adjacent the coils 21 of the evaporator so that the water is additionally chilled as it leaves tank 15 and moves towards mixing chamber 24.
- Disposed in conduit 40 is an electrically operated, normally closed, control valve 41, having an operator 41a.
- Also provided is a means for metering the water as it flows through conduit 40 so that, when valve 41 is open, water flows to mixing chamber 24 at a rate chosen with respect to the pumping rate of pump 32 such that the desired ratio of concentrate to diluent is supplied to the mixing chamber.
- conduit 40 may be chosen such that flow therethrough would be just adequate, with the conditions under which the dispenser is to operate, so that flow therethrough would be properly matched with respect to the pumping rate of pump 32.
- some type of restriction is placed in conduit 40.
- this is an adjustable restriction so that the ratio of concentrate to diluent can be easily changed if necessary.
- an adjustable needle valve 42 which may be a separate valve, as shown in the drawing or it may be built right into onoff valve 41.
- Power for activating motor 35 and operator 41a, as well as refrigeration unit 20, is supplied by a pair of conductors 44 and 45 which are adapted to be connected to an appropriate power supply.
- Refrigeration unit 20 is connected directly across these two conductors while the motor and valve operator are connected thereto through an appropriate switch 46.
- Switch 46 is operable by a manual actuator 47 which may take the form of a pad die-like member positioned so that when a glass is placed under the dispensing nozzle 23, the glass may be pressed against actuator 47 to close switch 46.
- Motor 35 and operator 41a are connected electrically in parallel so that closing the switch 46 results in energization of both the motor and the valve operator.
- the liquid diluent such as water
- the concentrate is stored in tank 12 at atmospheric pressure.
- valve 41 is closed to interrupt the flow of water from tank 15 to mixing chamber 24 and motor 35 is de-energized.
- roller 34 of pump 32 acts as a valve to block off the passage of fluid through the concentrate conduit 30 and also prevents concentrate in conduit 30, between tank 12 and pump 32, from flowing back into tank 12.
- Valve 41 opens and water begins to flow, at a rate determined by the position of needle valve 32, to mixing chamber 24.
- motor 35 begins to drive roller 34 in a clockwise direction to pump concentrate to mixing chamber 24.
- motor 35, and consequently roller 34 operate at a fixed rate so that whenever the motor is energized, concentrate is pumped at a constant rate per unit time.
- Needle valve 42 is adjusted so that the rate of flow of water through conduit 40, when valve 41 is open, is such that the ratio of diluent to concentrate, when the pump is operating and valve 41 is open, is exactly the desired ratio. Should it be desired to change the ratio of these two constituents it is only necessary to readjust needle valve 42.
- valve 41 and pump 32 continue to operate simultaneously so long as actuator 47 is held in a position to close switch 46, any desired quantity of mixture may be withdrawn in a single actuation. Regardless of the quantity withdrawn, the desired ratio of concentrate to diluent is maintained.
- the specific type of pump used is not critical although we have found that the compressible tube type pump is particularly advantageous in that it is simple and inexpensive, relatively each to clean, and reliable.
- the particular manner in which the metering of the diluent is accomplished is not critical but an adjustable orifice is preferable so that the ratio of the two constituents can be varied when necessary.
- the exact structure of the dispensing nozzle forms no part of this invention, it being required only that this nozzle provide adequate mixing and aeration.

- diluent supply means adapted to be connected to a substantially constant pressure source of liquid diluent
