Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dispensing system with at least one Storage containers for beverages - in particular with at least one circulating device and / or at least one cooling device - the dispensing system at least one Has outlet valve for portioned delivery of drinks.
  • Dispensing systems of this type are of principle in the prior art known. They are used primarily for serving juices or isotonic Beverages or similar beverage mixes are used. These dispensing systems in the prior art generally have cooling and / or Circulation device on. The cooling and circulating device serve that the drink in the storage container is also good over a longer period of time mixed and stays fresh. It is especially with juices or isotonic drinks it is important that the drink in the storage container is constantly in motion is so that a gravimetric separation of the components of the beverage or the Depositing suspended particles from the beverage on the bottom of the storage container is prevented.
  • the fill level of the beverage in the storage container varies as a result of serving and Refill drinks in or out of the storage container.
  • the so caused variation of the level and thus the hydrostatic pressure in the Storage container that tapped by at least one outlet valve per unit of time Beverage volume is not constant, but varies with the level.
  • This is a considerable disadvantage, especially when automatic determination and control of the tapped volume.
  • Another disadvantage for many Generic systems it is that the drink in the area of at least one Exhaust valve is not optimally moved by the circulating device and thus in Area of the outlet valve no optimal mixing and cooling of the beverage is achieved.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a dispensing system in which structurally simple way the above disadvantages are eliminated.
  • the dispensing system has at least one Has metering vessel, which is inside and / or outside of the storage container is arranged, the drink from the storage container into the metering vessel can be introduced and at least one outlet valve on the metering vessel - preferably on the bottom - is arranged.
  • the dispensing system according to the invention with a separate metering vessel leads to one the advantage that a defined amount of the Beverage is always kept ready and secondly, that the drink within the Mix the metering vessel directly in front of the serving area and cool it can be held.
  • the dispensing system has at least one Has refill device, which the beverage volume and the hydrostatic Maintains pressure in at least one dosing vessel or drink after dispensing refilled in at least one dosing vessel. It is particularly advantageous that the Dispensing system has at least one time-controlled outlet valve. By the Keeping the hydrostatic pressure constant flows out of the dosing vessel in one selectable time interval always constant the same volume of drink at full open exhaust valve. This means that the amount of beverage dispensed can be easily controlled via the opening time of the exhaust valve and thus a time-controlled outlet valve automatically a desired amount of beverage over the Specifies an assigned opening time.
  • a particularly favorable variant provides that the dispensing system is on at least one outlet valve a valve control - preferably with at least a solenoid valve and / or at least one control electronics -, the Valve control is the volume of the amount of beverage dispensed via the outlet valve over the time interval in which she keeps the exhaust valve open.
  • the beverage After the beverage has been tapped from the dosing container, it is again up to filled up to its maximum fill level.
  • the Circulation device - preferably permanent - drink over at least one Supply line from at least one storage container in at least one Dosing vessel pumps.
  • the dispensing system at least one - Preferably arranged in the wall of the metering - feed pump has, the feed pump - preferably permanently and / or via a Supply line - drink from at least one storage container in at least one Dosing vessel pumps.
  • the supply of the drink from the Storage container in the dosing vessel it is irrelevant whether the dosing vessel in or is arranged outside of the reservoir.
  • At least one Dosing vessel has an overflow and / or a return device, wherein at least one overflow and / or a beverage return device after reaching it the maximum level in at least one dosing vessel back in at least leads a reservoir.
  • the freshness and mixing of the drink is another cheaper embodiment achieved in that at least one outlet at least one feed pump and / or at least one feed line in at least a dosing vessel in the immediate vicinity of at least one outlet valve is arranged. This means that the next time you tap the dispenser from e.g. a glass of poured drink is particularly fresh and well mixed.
  • At least one Dosing vessel as a standing vessel closed at the bottom with at least one Overflow and / or at least one return device at its upper end is formed, at least one outlet of at least one supply line and / or at least one feed pump in the lower region of the metering vessel - preferably near the exhaust valve - is arranged.
  • Dispensing system is the storage container 11 on a housing 8, in which the Cooling unit is installed. About the heat sink 9, the beverage 10 in Reservoir 11 cooled. A circulation device 7 holds the drink permanently or intermittently in motion so that it constantly mixes well and stays cool.
  • the metering vessel 1 in Area of the outlet valve 4 is arranged. In the embodiment shown here the metering vessel, which is open at the top, has an overflow 12. It is important here that the fill level of the beverage 10 in the storage container 11 never higher than the overflow 12 stands. As long as this is true, the hydrostatic pressure and beverage volume always constant in dosing vessel 1.
  • the outlet of the supply line 2 and / or the outlet of the Feed pump 13 are arranged in the vicinity of the outlet valve 14, as a result of this always especially fresh, well-mixed drink in the lower area of the dosing vessel 1 and thus in the vicinity of the exhaust valve 4.
  • an inexpensive variant provides that continue Drink through the feed pump 13 or the feed line 2 into the metering vessel is promoted and the excess drink over the overflow 12 back into the Reservoir 11 runs back. This keeps the hydrostatic constant Pressure in the metering vessel 1 always cool and fresh the drink there.
  • Fig. 2 Another cheap embodiment shown in Fig. 2 provides that the Dosing vessel 1 is arranged outside of the storage container 11.
  • the drink will conveyed via the feed line 2 into the metering vessel 1, preferably permanently.
  • this can be done simply by filling the level in the storage container 11 is always kept above the maximum fill level in the metering vessel 1.
  • the supply line 2 has its own Have feed pump 13.
  • an overflow can be provided as in FIG. 1.
  • a feedback device 14 is arranged outside the Storage container.
  • This feedback device 14 promotes either using gravity or with the help of a pump 15 the excess beverage volume from the dosing 1 back into the Reservoir 11 back. If this cycle is permanently maintained, it remains if necessary, the drink is kept cool and well mixed.
  • a float not shown here, is arranged in the metering vessel 1, which, when the maximum fill level in the metering vessel 1 is reached, the supply line 2 closes and only opens again when the level in the metering vessel 1 is below the Maximum level has fallen.
  • a feedback device 14 or an overflow 12 is not absolutely necessary. However, this variant can only be used if the drink does not have to be permanently mixed and / or cooled.
  • the preferably time-controlled delivery of the beverage by means of an outlet valve and a valve control assigned to it in e.g. a glass is made in the same way as in the variant shown in Fig. 1.
