Abstract
A beverage dispensing system includes a supply of beverage or beverage ingredient which is subjected to gas pressure and which is conducted through a dispensing line through various components that cause a pressure drop and thence to a dispensing valve. When the supply of beverage is exhausted, pressurized gas in place of beverage passes through the line and raises the pressure upstream of the dispensing valve and also downstream of the dispensing valve where a subseqauent flow restrictor is provided. The increase in pressure is sensed by a pressure switch that disables the dispensing valve and activates ''''sold-out'''' indicating means.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATING DISPENSING OF BEVERAGE WHEN SUPPLY IS EMPTY BACKGROUND This invention pertains to a beverage dispensing system which may comprise a line for handling pre-mix beverage, or which may comprise the syrup line in a post-mix system, and more particularly to means for sensing the absence of such liquid.
PRIOR ART It has been known heretofore to employ a float switch in a beverage line connected to take appropriate remedy in the absence of liquid that it senses. Reliable float switches are relatively costly, and are not always trouble-free.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention utilizes a manually resetable pressure switch that senses an increase in line pressure remotely from the source which takes place when gas as distinguished from beverage is conducted through such line.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved beverage dispensing system.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a means for sensing the absence of a liquid or liquid ingredient in the system.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a simple low-cost means for disabling the system in the absence of the liquid and/or indicating the absence of such liquid.
Many other advantages, features and additional objects of the present invention will become manifest to those versed in the art upon making reference to the detailed description and the accompanying sheet of drawings in which a preferred structural embodiment incorporating the principles of the present invention is shown by way of illustrative example.
ON THE DRAWING The drawing is a diagrammatic view of a beverage dispensing system'provided in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
AS SHOWN ON THE DRAWING The principles of the present invention are particularly useful when embodied in a beverage dispensing system such as illustrated in the drawing, generally indicated by the numeral 10. The system includes a tank ll containing a supply 12 of stored beverage or beverage ingredient. The term "beverage" as used herein is intended to be generic to pre-mix beverage, beverage syrup and the like. The tank 11 is pressurized by carbon dioxide gas obtained from a pressure vessel 13 having a pressure regulator 14 that normally is set to deliver a constant pressure, typically on the order of 30 psi. From the tank 11, a line 15 extends to a cup 16a disposed in a beverage dispensing station of a beverage dispensing machine. In the line 15, there are various components including a constant flow-rate control valve 16, a cooling coil 17 disposed within refrigeration means 18 and a dispensing valve 19. Where the beverage comprises syrup, the dispensing valve 19 is of the mixing type, the line for water not being illustrated herein. The dispensing valve 19 discharges to the cup 16a. In this embodiment, there is an orifice 20 provided which serves as a flow restrictor. With the valve 19 open, the effective flow size at the restrictor 20 is preferably less than that anywhere along the length of the line.
In a typical embodiment, the constant flow-rate control valve will permit 40 ccs of beverage to flow in 7 seconds, and under such flow conditions, with a pressure of 30 psi at the inlet, there will be a pressure of about l0 psi at the outlet. The pressure drop from 10 psi to atmospheric is distributed between the remainder of the line, the cooling coil 17, the dispensing valve 19 and the flow restrictor 20. It is thus evident that at a point 21 just upstream of the flow restrictor 20, the pressure is atmospheric when the dispensing valve 19 is closed, and is normally not much above atmospheric when the dispensing valve 19 is open. However, when the supply 12 of liquid beverage or beverage ingredient I is exhausted, gas instead of liquid enters the line 15 and the constant flow-rate control valve 16 has practically no significant pressure drop thereacross, and the pressure at the point 21 rises dramatically to about 15 psi. Pressure responsive means 22, here comprising a latching type of pressure switch, is connected to sense the pressure at the point 21 and this great increase in pressure is noted and a single-pole double-throw switch therein is actuated so as to remove power from a coin controlled system 23 and hence to remove power from the dispensing valve 19, and to deliver power to means for indicating that the supply of liquid beverage has been exhausted, such as a sold-out" light 24.
With liquid flowing in the line, there is a pressure drop caused by the line itself and by each component that is connected in series in the line so that the pressure, switch 22 and point 21 can be placed downstream of one of these pressure drop means, provided that it is followed by another component downstream which will cause a restriction to gas flow to enable the pressure switch 22 to be actuated. With liquid not flowing in the line, the point 21 is so disposed as to be substantially at atmospheric pressure.
As the pressure switch 22 is of the latching type, when the pressure is gone, its switch will remain in the latched-out position. It thus is of the manual reset type and the service man who refills the tank 11 to place the system back in service manually resets the pressure switch 22 that is normally inaccessible to the public. Thus during a latched condition of the pressure switch 22, the coin controlled system will not accept additional coins, as is well known.
The pressure switch 22 thus senses a normal pressure at a point in the system during dispensing, the pressure at that point being somewhat less than the setting of the pressure regulator 14. Because of pressure drop owing to the viscosity of the liquid, this normal pressure is relatively low. However, with liquid absent from the system, and the viscosity of gas being negligible, when'the liquid is absent, by having been dispensed, the various pressure drops in the line disappear or greatly decrease so as to increase the pressure at the sensing point whereupon the controls 23 are disabled to close the valve 19 until the system is again serviced.
The disclosed apparatus operates in accordance with a method wherein gas is supplied at a predetermined pressure to a supply of the beverage, and during normal dispensing, a normal pressure is sensed at a point in the system which then has a pressure less than the gas pressure. However, when the liquid is exhausted, there is an increase in said normal pressure during dispensing or attempted dispensing and this increase in pressure is utilized to automatically shut down the system.
Although various minor modifications might be suggested by those versed in the art, it should be understood that I wish to embody within the scope of the patent warrented hereon, all such embodiments as reasonably and properly come within the scope of my contribution to the art.
