상기와 같이 구성된 본 발명의 탄산음료 제조장치는 다음과 같이 작동한다. Carbonated beverage manufacturing apparatus of the present invention configured as described above operates as follows.
먼저 음료 공급원(미도시)의 제어밸브(예를 들어 솔레노이드밸브)가 개방되어 음료가 공급호스(51)를 통해 공급된다. 상기 공급호스(51)를 통해 공급되는 음료는 유입구(11)를 통해 음료제조용기(10) 내로 배출되어 음료제조용기(10)에 채워지게 된다. First, a control valve (for example, a solenoid valve) of a beverage supply source (not shown) is opened, and the beverage is supplied through the supply hose 51. The beverage supplied through the supply hose 51 is discharged into the beverage production container 10 through the inlet 11 to be filled in the beverage production container 10.
음료제조용기(10) 내에 음료가 설정된 수위만큼 채워지게 되면, 음료 공급원을 통한 음료의 공급이 중단되고, 탄산가스 공급원(미도시)의 제어밸브(예를 들어 솔레노이드밸브)가 개방되어 공급호스(51)를 통해 탄산가스(CO2)가 공급된다. When the beverage is filled in the beverage production container 10 by the set water level, the supply of the beverage through the beverage supply source is stopped, and the control valve (for example, solenoid valve) of the carbon dioxide gas supply source (not shown) is opened to supply the supply hose ( Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is supplied via 51.
상기 공급호스(51)를 통해 공급되는 탄산가스는 유입구(11)를 통해 음료제조용기(10) 내로 공급되어 음료제조용기(10)의 상부에 채워진다. 소정량의 탄산가스가 음료제조용기(10)의 상부 공간에 채워지면 탄산가스 공급원(미도시)의 제어밸브(미도시)가 폐쇄되면서 탄산가스의 공급이 중단된다. The carbon dioxide gas supplied through the supply hose 51 is supplied into the beverage production container 10 through the inlet 11 and filled in the upper portion of the beverage production container 10. When a predetermined amount of carbon dioxide is filled in the upper space of the beverage production container 10, the control valve (not shown) of the carbon dioxide supply source (not shown) is closed and the supply of carbon dioxide is stopped.
이어서 순환펌프(20)가 작동하게 되면 음료제조용기(10) 내의 음료가 순환펌프(20) 내로 흡입된 후 순환펌프(20)의 출구(22)를 통해 믹싱유닛(30) 내부로 토출되고, 믹싱유닛(30)의 벤튜리노즐(31)을 지나면서 유속이 급격히 증가하게 된다. 이 때 베르누이정리에 따라 벤튜리노즐(31) 부분에서 급격한 압력 저하가 발생하게 되고, 음료제조용기(10) 상부의 탄산가스가 상기 가스주입관(40)의 상단부를 통해 가스주입관(40) 내부로 유입된다. 상기 가스주입관(40) 내로 유입된 탄산가스는 믹싱유닛(30)의 벤튜리노즐(31)의 후방으로 유입된 후 순환펌프(20)에 의해 토출되는 음료와 합쳐지면서 음료와 함께 믹싱유닛(30)의 전단부로 토출되어 음료 내에 용해된다. Subsequently, when the circulation pump 20 operates, the beverage in the beverage production container 10 is sucked into the circulation pump 20 and then discharged into the mixing unit 30 through the outlet 22 of the circulation pump 20. The flow rate rapidly increases while passing through the venturi nozzle 31 of the mixing unit 30. At this time, according to the Bernoulli theorem, a sudden pressure drop occurs in the venturi nozzle 31, and the carbon dioxide gas in the upper portion of the beverage production container 10 passes through the upper end of the gas injection pipe 40. Flows inside. The carbon dioxide gas introduced into the gas injection pipe 40 is introduced into the rear of the venturi nozzle 31 of the mixing unit 30 and then merged with the beverage discharged by the circulation pump 20 while mixing the beverage with the mixing unit ( Discharged to the front end of 30) and dissolved in the beverage.
이와 같이 순환펌프(20)가 작동하여 음료제조용기(10) 내의 음료가 순환되는 동안 믹싱유닛(30) 내에서는 벤튜리노즐(31)에 의해 압력 강하 현상이 지속적으로 발생하게 되고, 음료제조용기(10) 상부에 채워져 있던 탄산가스가 가스주입관(40)을 통해 믹싱유닛(30) 내부로 지속적으로 유입된 후 음료와 함께 토출되어 음료 내에 용해되는 작용이 일어나게 된다. Thus, while the circulation pump 20 operates to circulate the beverage in the beverage production container 10, the pressure drop phenomenon continuously occurs in the mixing unit 30 by the venturi nozzle 31, and the beverage production container (10) The carbon dioxide gas filled in the upper portion is continuously introduced into the mixing unit 30 through the gas injection pipe 40 and then discharged together with the beverage to be dissolved in the beverage.
따라서 음료제조용기(10) 내로 주입된 다량의 탄산가스는 대부분이 가스주입관(40)을 통해 믹싱유닛(30) 내로 유입된 후 음료에 용해될 수 있게 된다. Therefore, a large amount of carbon dioxide gas injected into the beverage manufacturing container 10 can be dissolved in the beverage after most of it is introduced into the mixing unit 30 through the gas injection pipe (40).
한편, 상술한 것과 같이 음료제조용기(10) 내부에서 탄산가스가 음료에 용해되어 탄산음료가 제조되는 동안, 상기 냉각케이스(60) 내부에는 냉각유체공급유닛에 의해 냉각된 냉각유체가 바닥에서부터 공급된다. 즉, 전술한 것과 같이 유체펌프(65)에 의해 열교환기(66)로 공급된 냉각유체는 증발기(64)와 열교환하여 냉각된 다음, 열교환기(66)와 냉각케이스(60)를 연결하는 관을 통해 상기 냉각케이스(60)의 바닥면으로 토출되고, 유체가이드채널(68)의 안내를 받아 음료제조용기(10)의 바닥면과 측면의 전열핀(13)을 따라 상측으로 유동하면서 음료제조용기(10) 내의 탄산음료와 열교환하여 탄산음료를 냉각시키게 된다. On the other hand, while the carbonic acid gas is dissolved in the beverage in the beverage manufacturing container 10 as described above, while the carbonated beverage is manufactured, the cooling fluid cooled by the cooling fluid supply unit is supplied from the bottom into the cooling case 60. do. That is, as described above, the cooling fluid supplied to the heat exchanger 66 by the fluid pump 65 is cooled by heat exchange with the evaporator 64, and then a pipe connecting the heat exchanger 66 and the cooling case 60 to each other. Is discharged to the bottom surface of the cooling case 60 through the fluid guide channel 68 guides the flow along the heat transfer fin 13 of the bottom surface and the side of the beverage production container 10 to manufacture the beverage Heat exchange with the carbonated beverage in the container 10 to cool the carbonated beverage.
이 때, 상기 음료제조용기(10)는 알루미늄과 같은 열전도성이 우수한 금속 재질로 이루어지고, 외면에는 복수의 전열핀(13)이 상하방향으로 연장되게 형성되어 있기 때문에 냉각유체가 음료제조용기(10)의 외면을 따라 유동할 때 넓은 접촉면적을 확보할 수 있어 열교환 효과를 증대시킬 수 있다. At this time, the beverage production container 10 is made of a metal material having excellent thermal conductivity, such as aluminum, the outer surface is formed with a plurality of heat transfer fins 13 extending in the vertical direction, the cooling fluid is a beverage production container ( When flowing along the outer surface of 10), a large contact area can be secured, thereby increasing the heat exchange effect.
상기 음료제조용기(10) 내에서 탄산음료가 완전히 만들어지면, 배출펌프(미도시)가 작동하여 배출관(52)을 통해 탄산음료가 외부로 배출된다. When the carbonated beverage is completely made in the beverage production container 10, the discharge pump (not shown) is operated to discharge the carbonated beverage to the outside through the discharge pipe 52.
전술한 실시예에서는 외부의 음료 공급원으로부터 음료제조용기(10) 내에 음료가 공급되어 탄산음료가 만들어지고, 상기 냉각케이스(60) 내의 냉각유체는 음료제조용기(10) 내의 탄산음료를 냉각하는 용도로만 사용되었다. 하지만, 상기 냉각케이스(60) 내의 차가워진 냉각유체를 직접 음료제조용기(10) 내로 공급하게 되면, 외부의 물 또는 음료를 음료제조용기(10) 내로 공급하는 경우에 비하여 차가운 탄산음료를 제조하는 시간을 대폭 단축시킬 수 있다. 이를 위해 상기 냉각케이스(60)의 내부 또는 외부에는 상기 냉각케이스(60)의 냉각유체를 음료제조용기(10)의 유입구(11)를 통해 공급하는 별도의 펌프가 추가로 구성될 수 있다. In the above-described embodiment, the beverage is supplied into the beverage production container 10 from an external beverage supply source to make a carbonated beverage, and the cooling fluid in the cooling case 60 cools the carbonated beverage in the beverage production container 10. It was used only. However, when the cold cooling fluid in the cooling case 60 is directly supplied into the beverage production container 10, a cold carbonated beverage is produced compared to the case where the external water or beverage is supplied into the beverage production container 10. The time can be greatly shortened. To this end, a separate pump for supplying the cooling fluid of the cooling case 60 through the inlet 11 of the beverage production container 10 may be further configured inside or outside the cooling case 60.
