Description

BEVERAGE DISPENSING DEVICE FROM RECEPTACLES SUCH AS BOTTLES AND THE LIKE, PROVIDED WITH AMBI ENT PARAMETER SENSORS, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
Field of the invention
The present invention relates to the field of devices and apparatuses for automatically dispensing beverages. In particular, it relates to the field of devices for dispensing beverages from bottles and similar receptacles.
State of the art
Devices and apparatuses adapted to automatically dispense beverages from containers such as bottles and the like are known in the art. Some of these devices and apparatuses are such that the bottles or similar receptacles are kept in upside down position and dispense the beverage contained therein by suitably opening a valve which allows the beverage to fall by gravity into a container conveniently positioned at the mouth of the receptacle itself.
Others provide for the bottles, or similar receptacles, being kept in vertical position, resting on their bottom, and dispense the beverage by means of two tubes introduced into the bottle through the cap of the bottle itself. An inert gas is insufflated into the bottle through one of the aforesaid tubes thus keeping the beverage pressurized. When the dispensing tap associated with a tube is opened, the pressurized gas allows the beverage to be dispensed through the other tube. Devices and apparatuses of this second type are particularly suitable in all those cases, such as for example in the case of wine, in which the beverage contained in the bottle would suffer a decline of its organoleptic quality due to the upside down position of the bottle itself.
However, the devices and apparatuses from the state of the art have drawbacks and limitations which prevent the distribution and a more widespread use thereof. In the case of devices adapted to dispense beverages from containers kept in vertical or standing position, one of the most common problems relates to the fact that the dispensing depends on the atmospheric-environmental conditions under which the device is installed.
Indeed, the operation of said devices relies on controlling the dispensing of the inert gas employed which is inputted into the container of the beverage to be dispensed, thus causing the discharge thereof in the amount required by the user. When the setting is received from a user by means of a suitable interface, the control system employed in the devices for dispensing beverages of the state of the art is adapted to associate a specific amount of inert gas in turn capable of promoting the dispensing of an amount of beverage corresponding to the user's setting.
However, this type of control system suffers from a significant drawback: the correspondence between the amount of inert gas dispensed towards the beverage container and the amount of beverage actually dispensed from said container depends on the atmospheric-environmental conditions under which the dispensing device is installed. This may be a relevant problem if the dispensing device is manufactured, fine-tuned and tested in an environment having other atmospheric- envornmental features from those of the environment where said device will be installed. Indeed, in this case said device will show another behaviour from the nominal behaviour calibrated and fine-tuned in the manufacturing step.
Therefore, the need is apparent to provide beverage dispensing devices from receptacles such as bottles and the like with means for monitoring the conditions and atmospheric-environmental parameters and with control means adapted to set the operating parameters of said dispensing devices accoridng to the value detected of said atmospheric-environmental parameters.

Summary of the invention
The present invention relates to a device for dispensing beverages from receptacles such as bottles and the like, comprising means for monitoring the conditions and the atmospheric-environmental parameters, and control means adapted to set the operating parameters of said dispensing devices according to the detected value of said atmospheric-environmental parameters.
Detailed description of the invention
European Patent EP1352873 to the same applicant of the present patent application and being an integral part of the latter, relates to a device for automatically tapping beverages from bottles, in which the bottles are kept in the normal vertical position. Said device comprises a tapping tap provided with a solenoid valve. Suitable conduits are in the body of such a tapping tap, which allow the pushing inert gas to enter, the liquid to be tapped and the tapping tap to be cleaned after each tapping operation.
With reference to the accompanying drawings, the device according to the present invention integrates the device object of European Patent EP1352873, and generally devices for automatically dispensing beverages, with regulation and control devices adapted to manage a plurality of external parameter sensors so as to modify the operating features thereof.
With particular reference to accompanying figure 1 , the block diagram of the device according to the present invention comprises: a container 10, adapted to contain the bottles and the receptacles from which the liquid is to be tapped, said first container being equipped with a supporting base, preferably placed on the bottom side of the container and associated with movable lifting means 19 equipped with actuators manually, mechanically, electrically or pneumatically operated; means 1 1 for thermally conditioning said container 10, adapted to keep the temperature thereof at a controlled value; dispensing means 1 8 adapted to allow the liquid to be tapped from said bottles and receptacles, preferably by insufflating inert gas into the container of the beverage to be dispensed, thus causing the discharge thereof in the amount required by the user; control and drive means 12 associated with said movable lifting means 1 9, said thermal conditioning means 1 1 , said dispensing means 18 and said means 13 for controlling and managing the dispensing operation carried out by said device, adapted to: collect all the operation data of the device according to the present invention, regulate said operation according to the settings, and communicate information about the operation and possible alarm conditions to the user through user interface means 14, associated with said control and management means 13; supply means 15 adapted to supply operating voltage and electric current to the various parts of said device according to the present invention ; at least one sensor 16 adapted to detect ambient parameters; interface and management means 17 associated with said at least one sensor 16 and with said control and management means 13. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, said at least one sensor 16 adapted to detect ambient parameters comprises a sensor for sensing the internal temperature of the device, a sensor for sensing the external temperature of the device, a moisture sensor and an atmospheric pressure sensor.
Moreover, said interface and management means 17, associated with said at least one sensor 1 6 and with said control and management means 1 3, preferably comprise an electronic interface board adapted to acquire the readings carried out by said at least one sensor 1 6 and to communicate them to said control and management means 1 3. Said control and drive means 12 in turn comprise an electronic board adapted to regulate the operation of said movable lifting means 19, said dispensing means 1 8 and said thermal conditioning means 1 1 .
According to the values detected by said sensors, said control and management means 1 3 vary the operating parameters of said dispensing means 18 so as to ensure the amount of beverage dispensed being constantly consistent with the settings provided by the operator, regardless of any possibile variations in the atmospheric conditions.
If the nominal dispensing conditions is not achievable due to adverse ambient conditions, the device according to the present invention provides an abnormality signal, thus possibly providing an amount of beverage which however does not meet the nominal parameters set.
A preferred embodiment of the device according to the present invention will also comprise an access control module 20, associated with said control and management means 13 and with said user interface means 14. Said access control means 20 are adapted to verify a user's credentials for accessing the device in accordance with the present invention and may comprise means for reading magnetic or electronic cards or biometric reading and recognition means, such as for example means to scan fingerprints. Thereby, a user of the device according to the present invention may acquire a certain credit for using said device, said credit being saved on a magnetic or electronic-type medium or being further associated with a biometric parameter of the user him/herself. The use of the device according to the present invention will be ensured by controlling and recognizing the available credit and the amount corresponding to the purchase made by the user, and when the chosen beverage is dispensed, it will be deducted from said available credit. By reading and recognizing the biometric data, the risk that said magnetic cards are also transferred to people who, by law, cannot acquire the dispensed beverages, such as for example minors in the case of alcoholic beverages, may be advantageously avoided.
A non-limiting example of the regulating algorithm applied by said control and management means 13 provides for controlling the pressure and temperature parameters and results in the variation of the dispensing time so as to keep the dispensed beverage amount consistent with the value selected by the user.
Said algorithm starts from the nominal value TEO, expressed in seconds, of the dispensing time as set up in the initial step of testing the beverage dispensing device, and from the nominal value P0 of the gas pressure used to tap the beverage, as measured in step of testing the device.
When the device is installed, the algorithm object of the present invention:
a) measures the current value of the gas pressure;
b) calculates the relative variation of the gas pressure with respect to the initial testing value: dP/P0;
c) calculates the modified dispensing time TEi = TE0 *(1 + k* dP/P0), where / is a constant of a value generally between 0 and 1 ;
d) controls the type of beverage to be dispensed and applies a corrective factor to the dispensing time: TE2 = Ei * m, where m takes values close to 1 and is 1 .05 for white wine and 1 .07 for red wine, for example;
e) measures the current value of the temperature TL of the liquid to be dispensed;
f) calculates the modified dispensing time TE3 = E2 * (1 + n * (TCL - TL)), where n is a constant generally between 0 and 0.01 and TCL is a reference temperature, e.g. the ambient temperature at testing time;
g) controls the type of receptacle from which the dispensing is carried out and applies a corrective factor to the dispensing time: TE4 = TE3 * (1 + p * VTE), where p is a constant between 0.01 and 0.15 and VTE is the beverage volume dispensed from the receptacle since the beginning, i.e. the beverage volume missing in the receptacle; h) controls the other receptacles in the dispensing device and applies a corrective factor to the dispensing time: TE5 = TE4 + r* (VSTE/VST), where r is a time, expressed in seconds, preferably equal to 0.01 , VSTE is the beverage volume dispensed from all receptacles in the device since the beginning, i.e. the beverage volume globally missing in all receptacles of the device, and Vs-r is the total volume of all receptacles in the device;
i) checks if the dispensing to be carried out from the chosen receptacle is the first, if so a corrective factor is applied to the dispensing time: TE6 = TE5 + q, where q is a time, expressed in seconds, preferably between 0.01 and 0.1 .
