- step S1 whether or not the liquid (beer) 20 is dispensed is detected by the flow sensor 111, which is an example of a dispensing sensor. Due to the dispensing, the control device 130-1 starts the operation control of the refrigerator 53 from the start of the dispensing of the liquid 20 (step S2).

That is, the storage container 10 is mostly placed at an ambient temperature of around 25 ° C., and thus the liquid temperature is almost the same. Under such circumstances, the operating time of the refrigerator 53 under the condition of cooling the liquid 20 to a target dispensing temperature, for example, about 5 ° C. Depending on the “live ice capacity,” it will take about a few minutes.

That is, by controlling the rotational speed of the stirring blade 582, the liquid 20 is poured out without unnecessarily increasing the rotational speed of the stirring blade 582, and as a result, consumption of the cooling capacity in the pouring device 50 is suppressed. However, the amount of the liquid 20 poured out at the target pouring temperature (about 5 ° C.) as quality control of the liquid 20 (beer) to be provided can be increased.
- the liquid dispensing amount maintained in the predetermined dispensing temperature range is larger than that in the conventional liquid quality management apparatus 101-1. Allow increase. For this reason, in the second embodiment, by performing control that makes the rotation speed of the stirring blade 582 variable according to the temperature of the liquid 20 detected by the liquid temperature sensor 140, target dispensing as the quality control of the provided beer (liquid 20) The amount of beer dispensed at a temperature, for example, about 5 ° C. can be increased.
- such a liquid quality management apparatus 101-2 includes a flow rate sensor 111 and a liquid temperature sensor 140, and the control apparatus 130 is numbered as the control apparatus 130-2.
- the liquid quality control device 101-2 performs operation control on the stirring device 58 from the start of the dispensing of the liquid 20 from the dispensing device 50, so that the amount of liquid dispensed in the predetermined dispensing temperature range Can be increased compared to the conventional case.
- the control device 130-2 includes a rotation speed acquisition unit 133, a liquid temperature information storage unit 135, and a liquid temperature information update unit 137.
- the rotation speed acquisition unit 133 obtains the stirring rotation speed in the stirring device 58 from the liquid temperature detected by the liquid temperature sensor 140 and the acquired relationship between the stirring rotation speed and the cooling capacity in the stirring device 58. Then, the control device 130-2 rotates the stirring blade 582 of the stirring device 58 at the determined stirring rotation speed.
- the above-mentioned “acquired relationship between the stirring rotational speed and the cooling capacity” has a mutual relationship between the stirring rotational speed and the cooling degree of the liquid 20 as described above. Means that it has been obtained in advance by experiments or the like.
- the liquid temperature information storage unit 135 stores the temperature of the liquid 20 detected by the liquid temperature sensor 140.
- the temperature of the liquid 20 is the temperature of the liquid 20 at the “immediate time” as described above. Therefore, the liquid temperature information storage unit 135 stores the temperature of the liquid 20 sent by the liquid temperature sensor 140 at such a previous time as liquid temperature information.
- the liquid temperature information update unit 137 updates the liquid temperature information stored in the liquid temperature information storage unit 135. That is, since the liquid temperature is detected every time the liquid 20 is dispensed as described above, the liquid temperature sensor 140 in the previous liquid dispensing operation corresponding to the (n ⁇ 1) th time is assumed to be the nth time this time. And the liquid temperature detected in the current (n-th) liquid dispensing operation may be different. As described above, when the liquid temperature is different between the previous time and the current time, the liquid temperature information update unit 137 updates the previous liquid temperature information stored in the liquid temperature information storage unit 135 to the current liquid temperature information.
- control device 130-2 is actually realized by using a computer, and a rotational speed acquisition unit 133, a liquid temperature information storage unit 135, and a liquid temperature information update unit 137. Is composed of software corresponding to the operations and functions in, and hardware for executing them.
- the stirring blade 582 in the stirring device 58 is continuously driven without being basically stopped.
- the rotational speed of the stirring blade 582 in the idling state in which the rotational speed control by the control device 130-2 is not performed is defined as “uncontrolled rotational speed”.
- the non-control rotation speed is basically not zero, but is a concept including zero, that is, a stop state. Further, the non-control rotation speed may be read as the non-control rotation speed per unit time.
- control device 130-2 The operation of the control device 130-2 will be described with reference to FIG.
- the stirring blade 582 of the stirring device 58 provided in the pouring device (beer dispenser) 50 rotates at the non-control rotation speed as shown in step S10.
- the control device 130-2 confirms whether or not the liquid (beer) 20 has been dispensed by detection of the dispensing sensor, in this embodiment, the flow sensor 111.
- the liquid temperature sensor 140 or the like can be used instead of the flow rate sensor 111.
- the liquid temperature currently stored in the liquid temperature information storage unit 135 is determined in step S12. Based on the information, that is, the liquid temperature information obtained from the liquid temperature sensor 140 in the “previous” described above, that is, the “current time minus one” dispensing operation, the rotational speed acquisition unit 133 performs the above “ The rotational speed of the stirring blade 582 is determined from the “acquired relationship between the stirring rotational speed and the cooling capacity”. Then, the control device 130-2 changes the rotation speed of the stirring blade 582 in the stirring device 58 from the non-control rotation speed to the calculated rotation speed, and rotates the stirring blade 582.
- requiring a rotational speed is not limited to the above-mentioned thing.
- the rotational speed acquisition unit 133 obtains the liquid temperature information obtained from the liquid temperature sensor 140 by the current dispensing operation and the previous liquid temperature information stored in the liquid temperature information storage unit 135. Determine whether they are different. If they are different, in the next step S14, the rotational speed of the stirring blade 582 corresponding to the current liquid temperature information is obtained. Then, the control device 130-2 rotates the stirring blade 582 at the calculated rotation speed. In addition, since the difference in the liquid temperature information between the previous time and the current time includes an increase and a decrease, the rotational speed of the stirring blade 582 increases and decreases.
- next step S15 the control device 130-2 determines whether or not the current dispensing operation has been completed by detecting the flow sensor 111. If it has been continued, the process returns to step S13, and if it has been completed, the process proceeds to the next step S16.
- step S16 Since the current liquid temperature information is different from the previous liquid temperature information (step S13), in step S16, the liquid temperature information update unit 137 of the control device 130-2 is stored in the liquid temperature information storage unit 135. The previous liquid temperature information is updated to the current liquid temperature information. Further, the rotational speed of the stirring blade 582 is returned to the non-controlled rotational speed.
- the control device 130-2 Since the operation control of the stirring device 58 is started (steps S11 and S12), compared with the control in which the operation of the refrigerator is started from the point of change of the icing state in the cooling water 55 as in the past, the provided beer (liquid 20 )
- the amount of beer dispensed for example, about 5 ° C., which is the target dispensing temperature for quality control, can be increased. That is, it is possible to provide the liquid (beer) 20 with more stable quality as compared with the conventional case.
- the rotation speed of the stirring blade 582 and the consumption amount of ice in the cooling water 55 that is, the “consumption cooling capacity” described in the first embodiment are related to each other. Therefore, by combining the second embodiment and the first embodiment, the amount of liquid 20 dispensed at the target dispensing temperature can be made more than that of the first embodiment and the second embodiment alone. It becomes possible to increase. Therefore, the liquid (beer) 20 can be provided with more stable quality.

Description
このようにしてビール樽内のビールは、顧客へ提供される。
即ち、本発明の一態様における液体品質管理装置は、貯蔵容器内の液体を、加圧により供給管を通して注出装置へ供給し、該注出装置に備わる冷却装置にて冷却を行い、上記注出装置から飲用容器へ注出する液体供給システムに付加可能な液体品質管理装置であって、
上記冷却装置は、冷却水を収容した冷却槽と、上記冷却水に浸され内側を上記液体が流れる液体冷却管と、上記冷却水に浸され内側を冷媒が流れる冷媒配管と、上記冷媒を循環させ上記冷却水の一部を氷結させる冷凍機と、上記冷却水の撹拌を行う撹拌装置とを有し、
上記液体品質管理装置は、
上記飲用容器への液体の注出を検出する注出センサと、
上記注出センサと電気的に接続され、上記液体の注出開始時点から上記冷凍機及び上記撹拌装置の少なくとも一方に対して動作制御を行う制御装置と、
を備えたことを特徴とする。
これに対して、実施形態における液体品質管理装置及び方法では、氷結状態の変化前に、冷凍機及び撹拌装置の少なくとも一方に対して制御を行う点で大きく異なる。尚、第1実施形態では冷凍機に関する制御について、第2実施形態では撹拌装置に関する制御について、それぞれ説明を行う。
まず液体供給システム70について説明する。尚、この液体供給システム70に関する説明は、第2実施形態においても共通する内容である。
液体供給システム70は、貯蔵容器10と、加圧源15と、供給管30と、注出装置50とを有し、貯蔵容器10内の液体(上述のように実施形態ではビール)20を、加圧源15による加圧によって供給管30を通して注出装置50へ供給つまり圧送し、注出装置50から飲用容器(例えばジョッキ)40へ注ぎ出すシステムである。ここで貯蔵容器10は、実施形態では、ビールメーカーにてビールが充填された、いわゆるビール樽と呼ばれるステンレス製容器であり、例えば5L、10L、19L等の内容量のものがある。加圧源15は、炭酸ガスボンベである。供給管30は、貯蔵容器10と注出装置50との間でビールの通液を可能にする、可撓性を有する例えばポリアミド、ポリウレタン、ポリエステル等製の樹脂チューブである。後述するように、供給管30には、液体品質管理装置101に含まれる機器が取り付けられる。また、供給管30から注出装置50における液体注出口54に至るまで、流体の通液管路の内径は、通液管路内のスポンジ洗浄を容易にするため全て同寸法にて設計されているのが好ましい。
冷凍機53は、冷媒用の圧縮機及び凝縮器、凝縮器を冷却する冷却ファンなどから構成されており、圧縮、凝縮した冷媒を冷媒配管57内で蒸発させ、循環させる。
冷媒配管57も螺旋状に形成され、本実施形態では冷却槽51内で、液体冷却管52の外側つまり冷却槽51の側壁側に配置され、その殆どが冷却水55に浸される(図1-図3)。よって、冷媒配管57内を通過する際の冷媒の蒸発により、冷媒配管57の外側周辺の冷却水55が冷却され、さらには冷却水55の一部は氷結する。また冷媒配管57は、金属製で熱伝導率が高い、例えば銅等で作製される。
また撹拌モータ581は、故障していなければ、基本的に停止することなく連続して撹拌翼582を回転するものである。
液体品質管理装置101は、既定の注出温度範囲に維持された液体の注出量を、従来に比べて増加可能にする装置である。
このような液体品質管理装置101は、図1に示すように基本構成として、注出センサの一例に相当する流量センサ111と、制御装置130とを備え、注出装置50からの液体20の注出開始時点から、冷凍機53及び撹拌装置58の少なくとも一方に対して動作制御を行うことで、既定の注出温度範囲にある液体注出量を従来に比べて増加可能にする。
このような第1実施形態の液体品質管理装置101-1において、受信部160、及び制御装置130-1における時刻管理部136は、必須要素ではなく任意的構成要素である。
これらの構成部分について、以下に順次説明を行う。
尚、センサの設置位置は、上述のものに限定されず、例えば注出装置50における供給管30に取り付けられてもよい。また液体20がビールのように飲用であるときには、当然に液体温度センサ140は、所定法規を遵守する構造にて設置される。また、液体温度センサ140は、下記のように液体注出に伴い生じる温度変化を検知可能であることから、注出センサの一例として、注出装置50からの液体20の注出開始及び注出停止を検知するセンサとしても使用可能である。
このような液体温度センサ140は、制御装置130-1と電気的に接続される。
したがって各実施形態において、液体温度センサ140にて検出され送出される「液体温度」とは、液体注出停止直後において液体20の温度が再び雰囲気温度へと変化に転じる時刻の直前の時刻(「直前時刻」)における液体20の温度を指すものとする。
ここで消費冷却能力取得部132は、液体温度センサ140から得られる液体20の温度、及び流量センサ111から得られる注出液体量を基に、液体20の注出に起因して、注出装置50における冷却水55が消費した冷却能力(「消費冷却能力」とも記す)を求める。求め方の一例として演算式を用いる場合を下に示すが、これに限定するものではなく、既知技術を基に当業者が想到可能な手法を適用することが可能である。
「動作時間」 = 「注出した液体量」×「液体温度-注ぎ出し温度(5℃)」/「畜氷量能力」。尚、「注出した液体量」×「液体温度-注ぎ出し温度(5℃)」は、上述の、液体注出に伴う「消費冷却能力」である。
この式からも分かるように、液体温度センサ140から得られる液体温度が仮に5℃以下(例えば、貯蔵容器10を冷蔵庫に収納しているような場合に生じる)の場合、求まる動作時間は、ゼロもしくはマイナス値になる。このような場合には、冷凍機53は動作する必要がない。
よって、このような時刻管理部136を有する制御装置130-1は、当該店舗の例えば営業開始時刻、繁忙時間、等の設定時間において、冷却水55における蓄氷量が最適になるように、換言すると冷却水55が最大冷却能力を有するように、冷凍機53の動作を制御することが可能になる。その結果、上述と同様に、従来に比べてより安定した品質にて、液体(ビール)20の提供が可能となる。
尚、液体供給システム70では、既に説明したように、注出装置(ビールディスペンサー)50におけるレバー56の店舗スタッフによる操作によって、液体(ビール)20が飲用容器40に注出される。このとき、液体20は、液体冷却管52の通過時に冷却水55との熱交換によって冷却され注出される。冷却水55は、注出装置50内の冷凍機53及び撹拌装置58の作動により、略0℃に維持される。
まず、制御装置130-1の基本的な制御動作コンセプトは、液体20の注出に起因して注出装置50における冷却水55が消費した冷却能力(「消費冷却能力」)に応じた分にて、注出装置50からの液体20の注出開始時点から冷凍機53を作動させる、という技術的思想である。
次のステップS3において、制御装置130-1は、流量センサ111及び液体温度センサ140から得られる各情報を基に、既に説明したように、「消費冷却能力」を求めて冷凍機53の動作時間を求める。
次のステップS4では、制御装置130-1は、求めた動作時間にわたり冷凍機53の動作を動作させ、動作時間経過により、冷凍機53の動作を停止する(ステップS5)。
一方、貯蔵容器10が冷蔵庫内に置かれている場合等には、上述のように、冷凍機53の動作時間がゼロになる場合もある。このような場合には、演算結果あるいは検出した液体温度に応じて、直ちに冷凍機53の動作を停止することになる。
次に、図3及び図5を参照して、上述した液体供給システム70に付加可能である、第2実施形態における液体品質管理装置101-2について説明する。既に記したように、第2実施形態における液体品質管理装置101-2は、氷結状態の変化前に、撹拌装置に関する制御を行う。具体的には、撹拌装置58の撹拌翼582の回転速度の制御を行う。
ここで、上記「撹拌回転速度と冷却能力との既得の関係」とは、上述のように撹拌回転速度と液体20の冷却具合との間には相互関係があり、該相互関係は、出願人の実験等によって予め得られている、ことを意味する。
既に説明したように、撹拌装置58における撹拌翼582は、基本的に停止することなく連続して駆動されている。制御装置130-2による回転速度制御がなされていないアイドリング状態における撹拌翼582の回転速度を「非制御回転速度」とする。ここで非制御回転速度は、基本的にゼロではないが、ゼロつまり停止状態をも含む概念である。また非制御回転速度は、単位時間当たりの非制御回転数と読み替えてもよい。
液体20が注出されていない状態では、注出装置(ビールディスペンサー)50に備わる撹拌装置58の撹拌翼582は、ステップS10に示すように、上記非制御回転速度にて回転している。
ステップS11において、制御装置130-2は、注出センサ、本実施形態では流量センサ111の検出によって液体(ビール)20の注出の有無を確認する。尚、第1実施形態で述べたように、流量センサ111に代えて液体温度センサ140、等を用いることができる。
異なる場合には、次のステップS14において、今回の液体温度情報に対応した撹拌翼582の回転速度を求める。そして制御装置130-2は、求めた回転速度にて撹拌翼582を回転させる。尚、前回と今回との液体温度情報の相違には、上昇及び下降があることから、撹拌翼582の回転速度についても増加及び減少する。
上述したように、撹拌翼582の回転速度と、冷却水55における氷の消費量つまり第1実施形態で説明した「消費冷却能力」とは、互いに関連する。よって、第2実施形態と第1実施形態とを組み合わせることで、上記目標注出温度における液体20の注出量を、第1実施形態、第2実施形態の単独での場合に比べて、より増加させることが可能になる。したがって、さらに安定した品質にて、液体(ビール)20の提供が可能となる。
