Description

Beverage automatic dispensing device

The present invention relates to an automatic beverage pouring device for automatically pouring a beverage into a container. The present invention particularly relates to an automatic beverage dispensing device suitable for automatic dispensing of carbonated beverages.

A device that automatically dispenses carbonated (sparkling) beverages into glasses and mugs has been put to practical use, especially as a beer dispenser for pouring beer. See Patent Documents 1-5. In such a device, if the carbonated beverage is poured directly to the bottom of the container, it foams and spoils the appearance and flavor. Therefore, the beverage may be poured along the inner wall surface of the container by tilting the container. It is common. Specifically, the pouring is performed at a position within 3 cm from the nozzle and within 3 cm from the open end of the inclined container.

In addition, due to the diversification of tastes in recent years, not only beer but also beverages such as highball, sour, and chu-hi are often offered at restaurants. Therefore, there is also a demand for a device capable of automatically pouring out beverages such as highball, sour, and chu-hi as well as beer.

However, unlike beer, beverages such as highball, sour, and chu-hi are served with ice in a container such as a glass or mug. As for this ice, relatively large ice is often used because of its good appearance and difficulty in melting. In addition, the height of the ice in the container varies depending on the location. Therefore, the beverage injected from the nozzle may directly hit the ice and scatter or overflow to the surroundings.

It is conceivable to slow down the pouring speed of the beverage in order to prevent such beverages from scattering or overflowing, but it is actually difficult because the pouring speed is limited by the gas pressure of the carbonated beverage. The beverage pouring speed is generally less than 50 ml / sec, more specifically about 20 to 40 ml / sec, but if the pouring speed is slower than this, the operational efficiency of restaurants and the like decreases. To do.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 4-6083 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 4-6084 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 4-142289 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 4-142290 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 4-142291 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 4-142292

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an automatic beverage dispensing device that prevents the beverage to be dispensed from hitting an object in the container and scattering.

In order to achieve this object, the beverage automatic dispensing device according to the embodiment of the present invention
Nozzle (44) for pouring beverages downward,
A mounting table (52) arranged under the nozzle (44) to receive the container (102),
The above-mentioned stand (52) has an inclined position for tilting and supporting the container (102) and a non-tilted position for vertically supporting the container (102) or supporting the container at an tilt angle smaller than the tilt angle of the tilted position. Tilt means (64) to move between
An object (110) is placed between the nozzle (44) and the reference position (74) of the inner peripheral surface (108) of the container on the extension of the nozzle (44) with the above-mentioned stand (52) in the inclined position. ) Is provided for determining whether or not there may be (72,76).

In another embodiment of the present invention, the inner circumference of the container on the extension of the nozzle (44) and the nozzle (44) in a state where the "previously described stand (52) is in the inclined position" by the determination means (76) Based on the determination that an object (110) may exist between the surface (108) and the reference position (74) of the surface (108), the object (100) of the container (102) supported by the above-mentioned stand (52). It is provided with a moving means (70) that gives a moving force to the vehicle.

According to the automatic beverage dispensing device having such a configuration, it is possible to detect whether or not the container into which the beverage is dispensed contains more ice or other substances than necessary. If more ice or the like is contained than necessary, some of the ice or the like is removed from the container, or the ice or the like in the container is moved by an external force. As a result, the beverage discharged from the beverage nozzle comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the inclined container. Therefore, the poured beverage does not scatter or overflow outside the container, and the environment can be maintained clean.

It is a side view of the carbonated beverage automatic pouring apparatus which concerns on embodiment of this invention, and shows the state in which the container mounting stand is in a non-tilted position. It is a side view of the carbonated beverage automatic pouring apparatus which concerns on embodiment of this invention, and shows the state in which the container mounting stand is in an inclined position. It is a figure which shows the structure of the mounting table of the carbonated beverage automatic pouring device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and the device around it.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the carbonated beverage automatic dispensing device (hereinafter, referred to as “pouring device”) according to the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the dispensing device. The dispensing device 100 of the illustrated embodiment has, for example, a substantially box-shaped housing 10 formed by processing a stainless steel plate. The front portion (left portion in FIG. 1) of the housing 10 has a housing upper portion 12 and a housing lower portion 14 extending forward (in the direction from the right side to the left side in FIG. 1), and these, the housing upper portion 12, and the housing. A beverage pouring space 16 is formed between the lower portions 14. A beverage pouring start switch 20 is arranged on the front wall 18 of the upper portion 12 of the housing.

A rear space 26 is formed between the front wall 22 of the housing 10 located at the rear end of the beverage pouring space 16 and the rear wall 24 of the housing 10 located behind the housing 10, and the rear space 26 is cooled. A cooling water tank 28 that houses the liquid 30 and a cooling device 34 that cools the cooling liquid 30 are housed. A temperature sensor 32 that detects the temperature of the coolant 30 is installed in the cooling water tank 28.

A cooling pipe 36 is arranged in the cooling water tank 28. One end side of the cooling pipe 36 penetrates the lower part of the rear wall 24 of the cooling water tank 28 and the housing 10 and extends to the outside, and is connected to the carbonated beverage supply source 38. Although not shown, the carbonated beverage supply source 38 includes a beverage stock solution tank and a carbon dioxide gas cylinder, and the beverage stock solution in the beverage stock solution tank contains carbon dioxide gas by being pressurized with carbon dioxide gas from the carbon dioxide gas cylinder. Beverages are supplied to the cooling pipe 36.

The other end side of the cooling pipe 36 penetrates the upper part of the cooling water tank 28 and extends to the upper space 40 of the upper part 12 of the housing formed on the beverage pouring space 16. On the other hand, a pouring nozzle 44 penetrating the lower wall 42 of the upper housing portion 12 is attached so as to be substantially vertically oriented, and the other end of the cooling pipe 36 is connected to the upper end of the pouring nozzle 44. The ejection nozzle 44 does not need to be oriented vertically, and may be arranged obliquely toward the front or the rear. The cooling pipe portion located in the upper space 40 of the upper portion 12 of the housing is provided with a valve 46, and the beverage is dispensed from the pouring nozzle 44 by opening and closing the valve 46. As the valve 46, a solenoid valve or an electric valve can be used.

As shown in detail in FIG. 3, a pair of left and right brackets 48 projecting toward the front beverage dispensing space 16 are fixed to the upper portion of the housing front wall 22 located at the rear end of the beverage dispensing space 16. There is. The pair of brackets 48 support the container mounting base 52 via a horizontal shaft (shaft) 50.

The container mounting table 52 has an L-shape when viewed from the side, and has a bottom plate 54 that supports the bottom 104 of the container 102 and a container that extends upward from the rear end of the bottom plate 54 and is supported on the bottom plate 54. It has a side plate 56 that faces or is in contact with the peripheral wall 106 of 102. A pair of brackets 58 are fixed to the back surface of the side plate 56, and these brackets 58 are supported by the horizontal axis 50. As a result, the container mounting table 52 is supported so as to be swingable around the horizontal shaft 50.

On the back surface of the side plate portion located above the bracket 58, one guide is arranged along a vertical surface extending in the front-rear direction at a substantially central portion of the side plate 56 when the side plate 56 is viewed from the front to the rear. The plate 60 is fixed. The guide plate 60 is formed with elongated holes 62 extending in the vertical direction. Correspondingly, the linear head 64 of the tilting means is fixed to the front wall 22 of the housing. The linear head 64 includes a main motor, a speed reducer, and a pinion inside the housing, and a rack (drive shaft) 66 that penetrates the front and rear walls of the housing and extends in the front-rear direction to reduce the rotation of the motor. It is configured to decelerate with a machine and transmit it to the pinion, converting the rotation of the pinion into the back-and-forth movement of the rack 66, and the engagement pin 68 attached to the tip of the rack 66 engages with the elongated hole 62 of the guide plate 60. It is combined. Therefore, by driving the linear head 64 (rotating the motor in the forward and reverse directions), the container mounting table 52 can be moved between the non-tilted position shown in FIG. 1 and the tilted position shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the non-tilted position is a state in which the bottom plate 54 of the container mounting table 52 is provided horizontally or substantially horizontally, and the side plate 56 is oriented vertically or substantially vertically. However, in the embodiment, the non-tilted position is not limited to the position or state of vertically supporting the container 102, but is the position or state of supporting the container 102 at an inclination angle smaller than the inclination angle of the container 102 in the inclined position. There may be. On the other hand, the tilted position is a state in which the container mounting table 52 swings forward (clockwise in FIG. 1) by about 30 degrees from the non-tilted position.

The container mounting table 52 includes a vibration device 70 that vibrates the container 102 placed on the container mounting table 52. A small vibration motor can be used for the vibration device 70. In the embodiment, the vibrating device 70 is fixed to the back surface of the side plate of the container mounting table 52. The installation location of the vibrating device 70 and the number of vibrating devices are not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and the container 102 placed on the container mounting table 52 is vibrated to effectively use the ice contained in the container 102. It is preferable to decide so that it can be moved to.

In order to move the ice efficiently, the vibration given to the container 102 is such that the ice contained in the container 102 is shaken in the front-back direction and the period and amplitude given to the mounting table are as large as possible. It is preferable to have. The preferred period is 0.2 seconds to 0.5 seconds, and the preferred amplitude (amplitude at the lower end of the mounting table) is 2 mm to 10 mm.

If the beverage is poured into the container 102 while the ice is contained in the container 102 placed on the container mounting table 52, the poured beverage may directly hit the ice and scatter to the surroundings. Therefore, it is required to determine whether or not the container 102 contains ice in a predetermined amount or more or a predetermined height (limit level 120 shown in FIG. 2) or more. Therefore, in the dispensing device 100 of the embodiment, the distance measuring sensor 72 is provided as a means for detecting whether or not there is ice above the limit level 120 in the upper housing portion 12 above the beverage dispensing space 16. ing. Various types of distance measurement sensors (for example, an ultrasonic distance measurement sensor and an optical distance measurement sensor) can be used as the distance measurement sensor 72. In addition to or in place of the distance measurement sensor 72, an object detection sensor (image sensor or imaging camera) including an image sensor (CCD) and a detection distance setting type optical sensor is provided, and the output (photographing) of the object detection sensor is provided. The image) may be analyzed to detect if there is ice above the limit level 120.

The limit level 120 is the position where the beverage discharged from the nozzle 44 hits the inner surface of the container at the inclined position shown in FIG. 2, the position of the inner surface portion of the container on the extension of the nozzle 44, or the position of the inner surface of the container slightly lower than those positions. It is decided based on the position. Hereinafter, this position is referred to as a "reference point". As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the reference point moves around the horizontal axis 50 as the container mounting table 52 swings, and at the inclined position shown in FIG. 2, the reference point is located directly below the nozzle 44 with reference numerals 74. In the non-tilted position shown in FIG. 1, the position indicated by reference numeral 74'is further moved backward and downward from the position shown in FIG.

The reason for determining the reference point 74 in this way is that, as shown in FIG. 2, when the ice 110 is present on the reference point 74 while the container 102 is in the inclined position, it is poured from the nozzle 44 toward the reference point 74. While there is a risk that the beverage will hit the ice 110 directly and scatter around, when the ice is below the reference point 74, the beverage poured into the container 102 at the inclined position will not directly hit the ice 110. Therefore, it is unlikely that the beverage will be scattered around.

In order to prevent the beverage poured from the nozzle 44 from hitting the ice 110, as shown in FIG. 2, the container mounting table 52 is in an inclined position and there is no ice in the vicinity of the reference point 74. It is important to do. Therefore, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the distance measurement sensor 72 is a container in which the traveling path of the detection light or the detection signal output from the distance measurement sensor 72 is placed on the container mounting table 52 at an inclined position. The position and inclination in the front-rear direction (horizontal direction in the figure) are determined so as to hit the reference point 74 of 102 or its vicinity.

The beverage pouring start switch 20, the cooling device 34, the temperature sensor 32, the solenoid valve 46, the linear head 64, the vibrating device 70, and the distance measuring sensor 72 described above are control devices (determining means) housed inside the housing 10. It is electrically connected to the 76.

The automatic beverage dispensing based on the control by the control device 76 will be described.

In the control device 76, the temperature of the coolant 30 housed in the cooling water tank 28 is detected by the temperature sensor 32, and the detected value is input to the control device 76. The control device 76 controls the drive of the cooling device 34 based on the detected value of the temperature sensor 32, and keeps the temperature of the coolant 30 constant.

For example, as shown in FIG. 1, when the beverage pouring start switch 20 is pressed while the container 102 containing ice is placed on the container mounting table 52 in the non-tilted position, the control device 76 causes the linear head 64 to move. It is driven to move the container mounting table 52 from the non-tilted position of FIG. 1 to the tilted position of FIG. Next, the control device 76 activates the distance measurement sensor 72. As a result, the distance measurement sensor 72 transmits light or a signal toward the reference point 74, and an object existing below the distance measurement sensor 72 (when there is no ice 110 on the reference point 74, the reference point 74, the reference point). When the ice 110 is above the point 74, the signal that hits the ice 110) and returns is received. The control device 76 calculates the distance between the distance measurement sensor 72 and an object based on the time or phase difference between the transmission and reception of light or a signal.

Subsequently, the control device 76 determines whether or not the distance between the distance measurement sensor 72 and the object is short and the object is at a position higher than the limit level 120. Specifically, in the control device 76, the ice 110 exists between the nozzle 44 and the reference point 74 of the container inner peripheral surface 108 on the extension of the nozzle 44 in a state where the container mounting table 52 is in an inclined position. Judge whether to get or not.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the ice 110 does not exist beyond a certain limit level 120 of the reference point 74, the control device 76 opens the valve 46 and dispenses the beverage from the nozzle 44. The beverage poured out from the nozzle 44 is poured toward the reference point 74 of the container 102. At this time, since there is no ice in the vicinity of the reference point 74, the poured beverage does not directly hit the ice and scatters around, or even if it scatters, the amount is small.

When a certain amount or more of the beverage is poured out, the control device 76 activates the linear head 64 and gradually moves the container mounting table 52 from the inclined position to the non-inclined position. During the movement, the valve 46 may remain open and the beverage may continue to be dispensed.

At this stage, the ice is floating due to buoyancy. Therefore, the energy of the beverage ejected from the nozzle 44 is absorbed by the floating ice or the beverage already poured. Therefore, the beverage does not scatter around, or even if it scatters, the amount is small.

After that, when a predetermined amount of beverage is poured out, the control device 76 closes the valve 46, and then drives the linear head 64 to return the container mounting table 52 and the container 102 to the non-tilted position shown in FIG. , Finish the beverage dispensing process.

On the other hand, when the ice 110 exists beyond a certain limit level 120 of the reference point 74 as shown in FIG. 2, the control device 76 drives the linear head 64 to move the container mounting table 52 and the container 102 into the non-container shown in FIG. Return to the tilted position.

Next, the control device 76 drives the vibration device 70 to vibrate the ice 110 from the container mounting table 52 via the container 102. As a result, the ice contained in the container 102 is shaken and leveled, or the ice near the inner peripheral surface 108 on the back side of the container 102 moves forward and the ice disappears from the vicinity of the reference point 74.

When the vibrating device 70 is driven for a predetermined time, the control device 76 stops the vibrating device 70. Next, the control device drives the linear head 64 to move the container mounting table 52 from the non-tilted position to the tilted position. Subsequently, the control device 76 opens the solenoid valve 46 and dispenses the beverage from the nozzle 44. The beverage poured out from the nozzle 44 is poured toward the reference point 74 of the container 102. At this time, since there is no ice in the vicinity of the reference point 74, the poured beverage does not directly hit the ice and scatters around, or even if it scatters, the amount is small.

When a certain amount or more of the beverage is poured out, the control device 76 activates the linear head 64 again and gradually moves the container mounting table 52 from the inclined position to the non-inclined position. At this time, the valve 46 may be maintained in the open state and the beverage may be continuously poured out.

At this point, the ice is floating due to buoyancy. Therefore, the energy of the beverage ejected from the nozzle 44 is absorbed by the floating ice or the beverage already poured. Therefore, the beverage does not scatter around, or even if it scatters, the amount is small.

While the container mounting table 52 returns from the tilted position to the non-tilted position, after the container mounting table 52 returns to the non-tilted position, the control device 76 reduces the opening degree of the valve 46 to reduce the amount of beverage dispensed per unit time. It may be reduced to prevent scattering.

In the above description, when the ice 110 is present above the limit level 120, the control device 76 drives the linear head 64 to return the container mounting table 52 and the container 102 to the non-tilted position shown in FIG. The vibrating device 70 was driven to vibrate the ice 110 from the container mounting table 52 via the container 102 to level the ice in the container 102, but the operator was extra in the state of returning to the non-tilted position. You may try to remove the ice.

Further, in the above description, it was determined whether or not the ice 110 exists beyond the limit level 120 with the container mounting table 52 and the container 102 set at the inclined positions shown in FIG. 2, but the container mounting table 52 and the container It may be determined whether or not the ice 110 exists beyond the limit level 120 with the 102 set to the non-tilted position shown in FIG. In this case, the bias of the ice 110 is eliminated by applying vibration to the container mounting table 52 and the container 102 in the non-tilted position.

In order to efficiently transmit the vibration generated by the vibrating device 70 to the ice, for example, the linear head 64 is driven before the vibrating device 70 is driven so that the container mounting table 52 and the container 102 are at an appropriate angle (for example, 5 degrees to 10 degrees). Degree) A certain degree of contact pressure may be secured between the side plate 56 of the container mounting table 52 and the container 102 by inclining. In this case, the vibration from the vibration device 70 is efficiently transmitted to the ice 110 near the container 102 and the reference point 74, and the movement of the ice 110 is promoted.

In order to more effectively transmit the vibration of the vibrating device 70 to the container 102 and the ice 110 near the reference point 74, as shown in FIG. 2, the vibration device 70 is deformed to or near the mounting table side plate portion near the reference point 74. An easily flexible elastic member 78 may be fixed, and vibration may be transmitted to the container 102 via the elastic member 78. In this case, since the vibration is amplified by the elastic member 78, a large vibration force can be obtained with a small vibration device. In this embodiment, a large exciting force can be obtained by adjusting the frequency of the vibrating device 70 to an integral multiple or a substantially integral multiple of the natural frequency of the elastic member 78.

The vibrating device 70 may be installed at various locations on the container mounting table 52 to determine the position where the ice can be moved most efficiently. The number of vibrating devices 70 can be determined in the same manner.

The means of moving the ice in the container 102 is not limited to the vibrating device described above. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the linear head is adopted as a means for inclining the container mounting table 52, but by fixing the vibrating device to the front wall 22 of the housing and fixing the linear head 64 on the vibrating device. The vibration generated by the vibrating device may be transmitted to the container mounting table 52 via the linear head 64. In this embodiment, the vibration output from the vibration device is amplified by the mounting table, and the ice is effectively shaken and moved.

As another alternative, for example, the upper portion 12 of the housing is provided with a forced displacement device consisting of a single-stage or multi-stage telescope cylinder that can expand and contract in the vertical direction by controlling the supply and exhaust of air. A mechanism for forcibly moving the ice existing in the vicinity of the reference position forward may be adopted. In this embodiment, for example, a flexible plate with an inverted triangular cross section is attached to the tip of the cylinder rod having the smallest diameter, the tip of the cylinder rod is allowed to enter the inner space of the container, and the plate with the inverted triangular cross section is placed near the reference position. It is preferable to forcibly move the ice in contact with the forward inclined surface of the plate forward by lowering it along the inner surface of the container.

As another alternative, the ice can be lifted by tilting the container mount 52 slightly from the non-tilted position and then vigorously returning it to the non-tilted position, or by vigorously returning it from the tilted position to the non-tilted position. It may be forcibly moved. In this form, the angle at which the container mounting table 52 is tilted may be smaller than the tilt angle at the time of dispensing the beverage (see FIG. 2). Further, the speed at which the container mounting table 52 is returned from the tilted position to the non-tilted position is preferably higher than the speed at which the container mounting table 52 is returned from the tilted position to the non-tilted position during beverage pouring. The tilt angle of the container mounting table 52 and the speed at which the container mounting table 52 is returned to the non-tilted position are preferably determined through a number of experiments.

When it is determined that an object exists between the nozzle 44 and the reference point 74 of the inner peripheral surface 108 of the container on the extension of the nozzle 44 while the mounting table is in the inclined position, an alarm means (for example, a voice) (not shown) is not shown. A buzzer, a light emitting lamp, or both) may issue a warning.

The warning means need not be adopted in combination with the vibrating device. For example, a configuration in which only the warning means is provided without providing the vibrating device can be adopted. According to this embodiment, the alerted operator knows that there is too much or biased ice in the container 102 placed on the container mount 52 and removes or eliminates excess ice. , This can prevent the beverage from scattering.

The tilting means for tilting the container mounting table 52 is not limited to the above-described configuration, and for example, the configuration described in Japanese Patent No. 6180916 may be adopted.

As described above, the present invention can be suitably used for an apparatus for automatically injecting a carbonated beverage, but the present invention can also be applied to an apparatus for injecting a beverage other than a carbonated beverage.
