Description

飲料供給装置Beverage supply equipment
　本発明は、炭酸水を供給する炭酸水回路と、冷水を供給する冷水回路とを有し、前記炭酸水回路は、水と炭酸ガスとが導入されるカーボネーションタンクと、前記カーボネーションタンクで作られた炭酸水を取り出す炭酸水供給弁とを備え、前記カーボネーションタンクの少なくとも底部は冷却水槽内の冷却用水に浸漬されている飲料供給装置に関する。 The present invention includes a carbonated water circuit for supplying carbonated water and a chilled water circuit for supplying cold water.

The carbonated water supply valve which takes out the produced carbonated water is provided, The at least bottom part of the said carbonation tank is related with the drink supply apparatus immersed in the cooling water in a cooling water tank.
　この種の飲料供給装置に関連する先行技術文献情報として下記に示す特許文献１がある。この特許文献１に記された飲料供給装置では、水道水が、冷却水槽内の冷却用水に浸漬配置された水冷却コイルを通過することで冷却され、冷水として供給される。 There is Patent Document 1 shown below as prior art document information related to this type of beverage supply device. In the beverage supply apparatus described in Patent Document 1, tap water is cooled by passing through a water cooling coil immersed in cooling water in a cooling water tank and supplied as cold water.
特開平９－２６７８９６号公報（０００２段落、図３）Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-267896 (paragraph 0002, FIG. 3)
　特許文献１に記された飲料供給装置では、冷却水槽内に水冷却コイルを配置する必要があるため、どうしても装置全体が嵩張り、構造が複雑になる傾向があった。 In the beverage supply apparatus described in Patent Document 1, since it is necessary to dispose a water cooling coil in the cooling water tank, the entire apparatus tends to be bulky and the structure tends to be complicated.
　本発明の目的は、上に例示した従来技術が与える課題に鑑み、性能は確保しつつも、よりシンプルでコンパクトな飲料供給装置を提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to provide a simpler and more compact beverage supply device while ensuring the performance in view of the problems given by the above-described prior art.
　本発明による飲料供給装置の特徴構成は、
　炭酸水を供給する炭酸水回路と、冷水を供給する冷水回路とを有し、
　前記炭酸水回路は、水と炭酸ガスとが導入されるカーボネーションタンクと、前記カーボネーションタンクで作られた炭酸水を取り出す炭酸水供給弁とを備え、
　前記カーボネーションタンクの少なくとも底部は冷却水槽内の冷却用水に浸漬されており、
　前記冷水回路が、前記冷却水槽内の前記冷却用水を取り出し、前記冷水として供給する点にある。 The characteristic configuration of the beverage supply device according to the present invention is as follows.
A carbonated water circuit for supplying carbonated water and a cold water circuit for supplying cold water;
The carbonated water circuit comprises a carbonation tank into which water and carbon dioxide gas are introduced, and a carbonated water supply valve for taking out carbonated water produced by the carbonation tank,
At least the bottom of the carbonation tank is immersed in cooling water in a cooling water tank,
The cold water circuit is in the point of taking out the cooling water in the cooling water tank and supplying it as the cold water.
　上記の特徴構成を備えた飲料供給装置では、冷却水槽内の冷えた冷却用水を取り出し、冷水として供給する構成とされているので、水道などの水源から導かれた水を冷やすための冷却手段（水冷却コイルなど）を冷却水槽内に配置する必要がなくなる。その結果、冷却水槽を小型のもので済ますことができ、コンパクトで且つ軽量な飲料供給装置が得られる。また、冷水を作るための専用の冷却手段を用いないことで、構造がより簡単でコストを抑えた飲料供給装置が得られる。 In the beverage supply device having the above-described characteristic configuration, the cooling water in the cooling water tank is taken out and supplied as cold water, so that the cooling means for cooling the water led from the water source such as water supply ( It is not necessary to arrange a water cooling coil or the like in the cooling water tank. As a result, the cooling water tank can be small, and a beverage supply device that is compact and lightweight can be obtained. Further, by not using a dedicated cooling means for producing cold water, a beverage supply device with a simpler structure and reduced cost can be obtained.
　また、冷却水槽内の冷却用水に浸漬配置された水冷却コイルを通過した水が冷水として供給される構成では、多量の冷水を連続的に取り出す場合、水冷却コイル内にあった水が排出された後は、充分に冷却されていない水が冷水として供給される傾向があったが、上記の特徴構成を備えた飲料供給装置では、冷却水槽内の冷却用水を冷水として取り出すので、多量の冷水を連続的に取り出す場合でも、十分に冷却された水が比較的長い期間に渡って冷水として供給される。 In addition, in the configuration in which the water that has passed through the water cooling coil immersed in the cooling water in the cooling water tank is supplied as cold water, when a large amount of cold water is continuously taken out, the water that was in the water cooling coil is discharged. After that, there was a tendency that water that was not sufficiently cooled was supplied as cold water. However, in the beverage supply device having the above-described characteristic configuration, the cooling water in the cooling water tank is taken out as cold water. Even when the water is continuously taken out, sufficiently cooled water is supplied as cold water over a relatively long period.
　本発明の他の特徴構成は、前記炭酸水回路が、前記カーボネーションタンクに導入する水として、前記冷却水槽内の前記冷却用水を取り出す点にある。 Another feature of the present invention is that the carbonated water circuit takes out the cooling water in the cooling water tank as water to be introduced into the carbonation tank.
　水による炭酸ガスの吸収率を高める目的で、カーボネーションタンクには冷水を導入することが、炭酸水を生成する上で有利であるが、本構成であれば、この冷水を作るための手段として、冷却水槽に冷却用水を取り出す取水管を浸漬されるだけで済むため、冷水を作るための手段として冷却水槽内に水冷却コイルなどを設けた構成に比べて、よりシンプルでコンパクトな飲料供給装置を提供できる。 For the purpose of increasing the absorption rate of carbon dioxide gas by water, it is advantageous to introduce cold water into the carbonation tank to produce carbonated water, but with this configuration, as a means for making this cold water Since it is only necessary to immerse the intake pipe for taking out the cooling water in the cooling water tank, the beverage supply device is simpler and more compact than the structure in which the water cooling coil is provided in the cooling water tank as a means for producing the cold water. Can provide.
　本発明の他の特徴構成は、前記冷却水槽が前記冷却用水を密閉する密閉型容器となっている点にある。 Another feature of the present invention is that the cooling water tank is a sealed container that seals the cooling water.
　本構成であれば、冷却水槽内に室内の塵埃などが進入し難くなるので、飲用の冷水としても使用される冷却用水がこれらの塵埃などによって汚染され難くなるため好都合である。 This configuration is advantageous because it is difficult for indoor dust or the like to enter the cooling water tank, and cooling water used as drinking cold water is not easily contaminated by these dusts.
　また、本構成であれば、水の供給源として用いる水道やミネラル水タンクによる水圧によって冷却水槽を満水に保持できるため、冷却水槽内の水位を一定範囲内に維持するための水位センサや制御装置を設ける必要がなくなる。 Also, with this configuration, since the cooling water tank can be kept full by water pressure from a water supply or mineral water tank used as a water supply source, a water level sensor or control device for maintaining the water level in the cooling water tank within a certain range Need not be provided.
　本発明の他の特徴構成は、前記冷却用水を冷却する冷却手段が前記冷却水槽の外周面に沿って配置されている点にある。 Another feature of the present invention is that cooling means for cooling the cooling water is disposed along the outer peripheral surface of the cooling water tank.
　本構成であれば、冷却水槽内に水冷却コイルが浸漬された構成などに比べて、冷却水槽の内部を表面積も小さめの単純な形状にできるため、冷却水槽内が清浄な状態に維持され易く、また、冷却水槽内の清掃も実施し易くなる。 With this configuration, the inside of the cooling water tank can be made a simple shape with a smaller surface area compared to a structure in which the water cooling coil is immersed in the cooling water tank, so that the inside of the cooling water tank is easily maintained in a clean state. Moreover, it becomes easy to carry out cleaning in the cooling water tank.

（使用前の準備工程）
　飲料供給装置１０を使用開始する際に制御装置によって実施される工程について以下に説明する。なお、これらの工程は使用者の手動操作で行われても良い。 (Preparation process before use)
The steps performed by the control device when starting to use the beverage supply device 10 will be described below. These steps may be performed manually by the user.
　先ず、飲料水が入った飲料水タンクＷＴを設置した状態で、飲料供給装置１０の側面などに設けられたメインスイッチ（不図示）を押し操作すると、図２に例示するように、制御装置によって第３導管Ｃ３の開閉弁Ｖ３が開放される。すると、飲料水タンクＷＴの水頭圧力により飲料水が第１導管Ｃ１を介して冷却水槽１に導入され、図３に例示するように、冷却水槽１内が飲料水で満たされる。 First, when a drinking water tank WT containing drinking water is installed and a main switch (not shown) provided on the side surface of the beverage supply device 10 is pushed and operated, as illustrated in FIG. The on-off valve V3 of the third conduit C3 is opened. Then, the drinking water is introduced into the cooling water tank 1 through the first conduit C1 by the head pressure of the drinking water tank WT, and the cooling water tank 1 is filled with the drinking water as illustrated in FIG.
　冷却水槽１内が飲料水で満たされると、冷却コイル３による冷却が開始される。制御装置は、以後基本的に、温度センサＴによる冷却水槽１内の水温の検出結果が所定の温度範囲に保持されるように、冷却コイル３をＯＮ／ＯＦＦ（入り切り）する。 When the cooling water tank 1 is filled with drinking water, cooling by the cooling coil 3 is started. Thereafter, the control device basically turns ON / OFF (turns on) the cooling coil 3 so that the detection result of the water temperature in the cooling water tank 1 by the temperature sensor T is maintained within a predetermined temperature range.
　この冷却コイル３のＯＮ操作とほぼ同時に、図３に例示するように、開閉弁Ｖ４が開放され、炭酸ガスボンベ６からカーボネーションタンク２への炭酸ガスの供給が行われる。制御装置は、以後基本的に、圧力センサＧによるカーボネーションタンク２内の炭酸ガス圧の検出結果が所定の範囲に保持されるように、開閉弁Ｖ４を開閉制御する。 Nearly simultaneously with the ON operation of the cooling coil 3, as shown in FIG. 3, the on-off valve V4 is opened, and carbon dioxide gas is supplied from the carbon dioxide gas cylinder 6 to the carbonation tank 2. Thereafter, the control device basically controls the opening / closing valve V4 so that the detection result of the carbon dioxide gas pressure in the carbonation tank 2 by the pressure sensor G is maintained within a predetermined range.
　冷却水槽１内の水温が所定の値に達し、且つ、圧力センサＧによるカーボネーションタンク２内の炭酸ガス圧の検出結果が所定の値に達すると、図４に例示するように、第５導管Ｃ５に介装されたポンプＰがＯＮ操作され、冷却水槽１の冷水が、カーボネーションタンク２の内部に供給される。制御装置は、カーボネーションタンク２内の水面が水位センサＳによって検出されてから一定時間後にポンプＰをＯＦＦ操作する。 When the water temperature in the cooling water tank 1 reaches a predetermined value and the detection result of the carbon dioxide gas pressure in the carbonation tank 2 by the pressure sensor G reaches a predetermined value, as illustrated in FIG. The pump P interposed in C5 is turned ON, and the cold water in the cooling water tank 1 is supplied into the carbonation tank 2. The control device turns off the pump P after a predetermined time from when the water level in the carbonation tank 2 is detected by the water level sensor S.
　ポンプＰによってカーボネーションタンク２に供給される冷水は、第５導管Ｃ５の他端側に設けられたノズル（不図示）を介して噴霧状に供給されることで、カーボネーションタンク２の内部の炭酸ガスとよく接触し、炭酸ガスを十分な比率で吸収した炭酸水となり、カーボネーションタンク２の底部に蓄積される。 The cold water supplied to the carbonation tank 2 by the pump P is supplied in a spray form via a nozzle (not shown) provided on the other end side of the fifth conduit C5. The carbonic acid gas comes into good contact with the carbon dioxide gas and becomes carbonated water that absorbs the carbon dioxide gas at a sufficient ratio, and is accumulated at the bottom of the carbonation tank 2.
　制御装置は、以後基本的に、カーボネーションタンク２内の水面が水位センサＳによって不検出となると、ポンプＰをＯＮ操作し、同水面が水位センサＳによって検出されてから一定時間後にポンプＰをＯＦＦ操作するという、ＯＮ／ＯＦＦ操作を繰り返す。 After that, basically, when the water level in the carbonation tank 2 is not detected by the water level sensor S, the control device turns on the pump P, and after a certain period of time after the water level is detected by the water level sensor S, the control device Repeat the ON / OFF operation of OFF operation.
　なお、上述したように、ポンプＰによって冷却水槽１の冷水がカーボネーションタンク２内に供給されると、その供給量に匹敵する量の飲料水が自重によって飲料水タンクＷＴから第１導管Ｃ１を介して冷却水槽１に補充されることで、冷却水槽１は基本的に常に満水状態に保持される。 As described above, when the cold water in the cooling water tank 1 is supplied into the carbonation tank 2 by the pump P, an amount of drinking water equivalent to the supplied amount is passed from the drinking water tank WT to the first conduit C1 by its own weight. By replenishing the cooling water tank 1 via the cooling water tank 1, the cooling water tank 1 is basically always kept in a full water state.
（使用開始後の工程）
　図５に例示するように、ユーザが冷水コックＶ１を開放操作すると、冷却水槽１の冷水が冷水コックＶ１から一定の流量（３０ｍｌ／秒以上など）で提供される。冷水コックＶ１の操作によって、飲料水タンクＷＴから冷水が排出されると、その排出量に匹敵する量の飲料水が、飲料水タンクＷＴから冷却水槽１に自動的に補充される。 (Process after start of use)
As illustrated in FIG. 5, when the user opens the cold water cock V1, the cold water in the cooling water tank 1 is provided from the cold water cock V1 at a constant flow rate (30 ml / second or more). When the cold water is discharged from the drinking water tank WT by operating the cold water cock V1, an amount of drinking water equivalent to the discharged amount is automatically replenished from the drinking water tank WT to the cooling water tank 1.
　図５に例示するように、ユーザが炭酸水コックＶ２を開放操作すると、主にカーボネーションタンク２内の炭酸ガスの圧力の作用で、カーボネーションタンク２の炭酸水が、炭酸水コックＶ２を介して提供される。この排出に基づいて、カーボネーションタンク２内の水位が水位センサＳよりも下がると、制御装置がポンプＰをＯＮ制御することで、冷却水槽１からカーボネーションタンク２へ冷水の補充が開始され、カーボネーションタンク２内の水位が水位センサＳに達すると、一定時間（数秒間など）後に制御装置はポンプＰをＯＦＦ制御する。 As illustrated in FIG. 5, when the user opens the carbonated water cock V2, the carbonated water in the carbonation tank 2 passes through the carbonated water cock V2 mainly by the action of the pressure of carbon dioxide in the carbonation tank 2. Provided. Based on this discharge, when the water level in the carbonation tank 2 falls below the water level sensor S, the control device turns on the pump P to start replenishment of cold water from the cooling water tank 1 to the carbonation tank 2, When the water level in the carbonation tank 2 reaches the water level sensor S, the control device turns off the pump P after a certain time (for example, several seconds).
　また、圧力センサＧにおいてカーボネーションタンク２内の炭酸ガス圧が所定の値以下になると、開閉弁Ｖ４を開き、炭酸ガスを送り込む構成になっている。
　なお、ここでは、圧力センサＧと電磁弁の開閉弁Ｖ４とを組み合わせているが、これらを減圧弁のみに代えてもかまわない。 Further, when the carbon dioxide pressure in the carbonation tank 2 in the pressure sensor G becomes equal to or lower than a predetermined value, the on-off valve V4 is opened and carbon dioxide is fed.
Here, the pressure sensor G and the solenoid valve on / off valve V4 are combined, but these may be replaced by only the pressure reducing valve.
　このように、本発明に係る飲料供給装置１０では、冷却水槽１内の冷水が、カーボネーションタンク２を冷却するための冷却用水として用いられるだけでなく、冷水回路が冷水コックＶ１から供給する冷水として冷却水槽１内の冷水を使用するので、冷水回路用の冷水を作製するための冷却コイルなどを冷却水槽１内に配置する必要がなくなり、装置の小型化が可能になる。 Thus, in the beverage supply apparatus 10 according to the present invention, the cold water in the cooling water tank 1 is not only used as cooling water for cooling the carbonation tank 2, but also the cold water supplied from the cold water cock V1 by the cold water circuit. As described above, since the cold water in the cooling water tank 1 is used, there is no need to arrange a cooling coil or the like for producing cold water for the cold water circuit in the cooling water tank 1, and the apparatus can be downsized.
　また、炭酸水回路も、カーボネーションタンク２に導入する水として、冷却水槽１内の冷水を使用するので、炭酸水回路用の冷水を作製するための冷却コイルなどを冷却水槽１内に配置する必要がなくなり、装置の小型化が可能になる。 Further, since the carbonated water circuit also uses the cold water in the cooling water tank 1 as the water to be introduced into the carbonation tank 2, a cooling coil or the like for producing the cold water for the carbonated water circuit is arranged in the cooling water tank 1. This eliminates the need for the apparatus and enables downsizing of the apparatus.
　以上の実施例に示す飲料供給装置１０では、冷却水槽１の容量を約３Ｌとし、カーボネーションタンク２の容量を約１Ｌとした場合、ガスボリュームが３．４～３．６Ｖ／Ｖの炭酸水を製造することができる。 In the beverage supply apparatus 10 shown in the above embodiment, when the capacity of the cooling water tank 1 is about 3 L and the capacity of the carbonation tank 2 is about 1 L, carbonated water having a gas volume of 3.4 to 3.6 V / V. Can be manufactured.
