[Industrial application fields]
  The present invention is a method for pouring beer by pouring beer from a beer bottle into a container during a beer foam test.DressingRelated to the position.
[0002]
[Prior art]
When beer is poured into a glass, a foam layer is formed on top of the beer poured into the glass. This foam layer has important implications for beer. In other words, the foam layer has the function of preventing the release of carbon dioxide from the beer and blocking the contact with air to prevent the oxidation of the beer. You can taste it. In addition, the foam layer has an effect of producing a good appearance due to its white and creamy appearance. Therefore, it is ideal that a predetermined amount of foam layer (generally 20 to 30% of the amount of beer) remains until the beer is drunk, and in order to evaluate the quality of beer, the foam layer persists. Is also an important parameter.
[0003]
Therefore, as a test for evaluating the durability of the foam layer, there is a test called a “foam retention test”. Conventional methods of foam retention include (1) a method of taking out a predetermined amount of foam and evaluating with the remaining amount of foam after standing for a predetermined time, or (2) placing the foam in a predetermined container, There is a method to evaluate by the time until disappearance.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the foam used in the above-described conventional foam retention test method is completely different from the manner in which foam is actually produced when drinking beer and the situation, and was not realistic. In order to make a realistic evaluation, a method in which a person actually pours beer into a container and evaluates the persistence of the resulting foam layer can be considered. However, in this case, there was a great difference in how bubbles were formed due to variations in the pouring operation for each time and individual differences, and reproducibility was not good. Also, it takes time to make a large number of samples. Therefore, there has been a demand for a pouring method or a pouring apparatus capable of efficiently producing a large number of samples with high reproducibility when performing a foam test.
[0005]
  Therefore, the present invention is the pouring of beer that can pour beer from a beer bottle into a container so that a foam layer is formed at a certain rate.DressingThe purpose is to provide a device.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  In order to achieve the above object, the beer pouring device of the present invention is, ThatA plurality of beer bottles each containing beer are placed in parallel with the bottle mouths aligned, and a bottle base supported rotatably around a horizontal axis passing through the vicinity of the bottle mouths;

  A container mounting table on which a plurality of containers for receiving beer poured out from each beer bottle are mounted;
  Control drive means for rotating the bottle base so that the angular velocity can be controlled.The
[0007]
Further, the drive control means rotates the bottle table to allow a part of the beer contained in the beer bottles to flow out before pouring out the beer, thereby increasing the liquid level of the beer in the beer bottles. The bottle base is adjusted to a predetermined height, and when the beer is poured out, the bottle base is rotated at a constant angular velocity according to the amount of beer remaining by adjusting the liquid level of the beer. The control may be performed.
[0009]

A beer bottle inclines around the vicinity of a bottle mouth, and beer is poured into the some container mounted in the container mounting base, respectively. Furthermore, the rotational angular velocity of the bottle table can be controlled by the control drive means,In a beer bottleBeer bottles can be easily adjusted by adjusting the liquid level of the beer and tilting the beer bottle at a certain angular velocity according to the amount of beer. The ratio of the foam layer formed in the beer is almost constant.
[0010]

Based on the above configuration, when the stepping motor 103 is rotated in the forward direction, the screw shaft 104 is rotated in the forward direction, and the nut 102 is raised along with the rotation, so that the rear end portion of the bottle table 3 is raised. On the contrary, when the stepping motor 103 is rotated in the reverse direction, the screw shaft 104 is rotated in the reverse direction, and the nut 102 is lowered along with the rotation, so that the rear end portion of the bottle table 3 is lowered. That is, by the rotation of the stepping motor 103, the bottle table 3 is configured to rotate about the horizontal axis around the support portion with the side plate 2 (see FIG. 1).
[0013]

Further, the rotational angular velocity of the bottle table 3 can be changed depending on the frequency of the pulse applied to the stepping motor 103, the gear ratio between the driving pulley 105 and the driven pulley 107 can be changed, and the pitch of the thread groove of the screw shaft 104 can be changed. It can also be set arbitrarily by changing it.
[0014]
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, in the beer pouring device of the present embodiment, the home position detection sensor 15 for detecting the presence of the bottle table 3 at the home position, which will be described later, and the bottle table 3 are within the movement range.

Is placed at a predetermined position so that is turned on. As the home position detection sensor 15 and the upper limit position detection sensor 16, a micro switch, a photo sensor, or the like can be used.
[0015]
The above-described stepping motor 103 is controlled by a control unit 17 in which a program for controlling the operation of the apparatus is incorporated based on outputs from the home position detection sensor 15 and the upper limit position detection sensor 16, and is driven by the control unit 17. The control drive means of the beer pouring apparatus of this invention is comprised by the part 10. FIG.
[0016]
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, the base 1 is provided with a cup base 7 as a container mounting base. The cup base 7 is placed with a cup 21 into which beer from the beer bottle 20 fixed to the bottle base 3 is poured, and is located below the bottle mouth of the beer bottle 20 fixed to the bottle base 3. The height relative to the base 1 is supported so as to be adjustable by an adjusting screw 8 screwed into the portion. The cup base 7 is also integrally provided with a cup receiver 9 in which a V-groove 9 a similar to the bottle body receiver 4 and the bottle mouth receptacle 5 is formed, and a cup 21 is provided in the V-groove 9 a of the cup receiver 9. The cup 21 is positioned by abutting. Ten V grooves 9 a of the cup receiver 9 are formed, and ten cups 21 can be placed on the cup base 7.
[0017]
The beer pouring test was performed using the beer pouring device described above. Prior to the foam holding test, the driving conditions of the device, that is, the beer pouring conditions were grasped.
[0018]
First, dozens of testers actually poured about 300 cups of beer into the cup 21 from the beer bottle 20, and calculated the average of the beer pouring time per beer, the amount of beer, and the foam ratio. . The foam ratio is the thickness of the foam layer that is formed when beer is poured into the cup 21 (actually the thickness of the foam layer until the foam layer becomes stable after pouring is finished. It is the value represented by {a / (a + b)} × 100 (%) where a is the thickness of the foam layer after about 10 seconds have elapsed after the end of dispensing, and b is the thickness of the beer layer. Yes (see FIG. 3). The cup 21 used has an inner diameter of about 6 cm and a height of about 9 cm. The beer temperature is about 6 ° C. and the room temperature is about 20 ° C.
[0019]
As a result, the pouring time was 5.0 to 6.0 seconds, the amount of beer was around 150 g, and the foam ratio was around 40%. In other words, when a person actually pours beer into the cup 21, beer of around 150 g (≈150 ml) is poured for 5.0 to 6.0 seconds, and the thickness of the foam layer relative to the total thickness of the poured beer. Was found to be around 40%. Therefore, the driving condition of the beer pouring device of the present embodiment is such that the rotational angular speed and driving time of the bottle table 3 when pouring beer so that about 150 g of beer is poured out in 5.5 seconds, that is, the stepping motor 103. The frequency and the number of pulses to be given to were set.
[0020]
Next, operation | movement of the beer pouring apparatus of a present Example is demonstrated, referring a flowchart.
[0021]
In FIG. 4, the flowchart of the whole operation | movement of the beer pouring apparatus of a present Example is shown. As shown in FIG. 4, first, the value n of the counter in the control unit is set to zero (S1), and the initialization operation of this apparatus is performed (S2). The initialization operation is an operation for setting the position of the bottle table 3 to the home position. The home position is a position where the beer does not spill from the beer bottle 20 even if the beer bottle 20 containing the specified amount of beer is fixed to the bottle table 3. In this embodiment, in the case of a large bottle, when the direction in which the bottle base rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 2 is defined as +, the home position is a state where the bottle base 3 is inclined at an angle of −18.1 ° with respect to the horizontal plane. It was.
[0022]
When the initialization operation is completed, the beer bottle 20 is fixed to the bottle table 3 and the cup 21 is placed on the cup table 7. And after adding 1 to the value n of the counter in a control part (S3) and performing liquid level matching (S4), pouring operation | movement (S5) is performed. When the pouring operation is completed, it is checked whether or not the counter value n of the control unit is the set value i (S6). The set value i is a positive number set according to the content of the beer bottle 20, and in the case of a large bottle, the set value i = 3. If the counter value n is different from the set value i, 1 is again added to the counter value n (S3), and the liquid level adjustment (S4) and pouring operation (S5) are repeated until the counter value n becomes equal to the set value i. repeat. When the value n of the counter becomes equal to the set value i, the operation of this apparatus is terminated. That is, i test samples are obtained from one beer bottle 20.
[0023]
Since the operations such as fixing the beer bottle 20 and replacing the cup 21 are necessary after completion of the initialization operation, the liquid level adjustment, and the pouring operation, the operation of the apparatus is stopped at the end of each operation. By performing a predetermined operation, the next operation is started.
[0024]
Here, the above-described initialization operation, liquid level alignment, and pouring operation will be described in detail in order.
[0025]
First, the initialization operation will be described. A flowchart of this operation is shown in FIG. In the initialization operation, first, it is checked whether or not the home position detection sensor 15 is ON, that is, whether or not the slide member 101 is at a position detected by the home position detection sensor 15 (S201). At this time, if the home position detection sensor 15 is ON, the stepping motor 103 is rotated forward by a predetermined pulse (S202), and thereafter, it is checked whether the home position detection sensor 15 is OFF (S203). . Normally, the slide member 101 is raised by rotating the stepping motor 103 forward, and the home position detection sensor 15 is turned off. Therefore, even if it is rotated forward by a predetermined number of j pulses or more (S204) If the detection sensor 15 remains in the ON state, it is determined that the drive system has failed or the home position detection sensor 15 has failed, and the initialization operation is interrupted as an error (S205).
[0026]
When the home position detection sensor 15 is turned off, the stepping motor 103 is further rotated forward by a predetermined pulse (S206), the slide member 101 is lifted, and then the stepping motor 103 is reversed by a predetermined pulse. (S207) The slide member 101 is lowered. Here, it is checked again whether the home position detection sensor 15 is ON (S208). If the home position detection sensor 15 is ON, the rotation of the stepping motor 103 is stopped (S209), and the initialization operation is terminated. If the home position detection sensor 15 is not turned ON even if it is reversed by a predetermined number of k pulses (S210), it is determined that the drive system has failed or the home position detection sensor 15 has failed, and the initialization operation is interrupted as an error. (S211).
[0027]
On the other hand, if the home position detection sensor 15 is OFF in the first check of the home position detection sensor 15 (S201), the stepping motor 103 is reversed (S212) and the slide member 101 is lowered. Then, the home position detection sensor 15 is checked (S213). When the home position detection sensor 15 is turned on, the rotation of the stepping motor 103 is stopped (S209), and the initialization operation is finished. Even if the stepping motor 103 is reversed by a predetermined m pulses (S214), if the home position detection sensor 15 is not turned ON, it is determined that the drive system is faulty or the home position detection sensor 15 is faulty, and is initialized as an error. The operation is interrupted (S215).
[0028]
When the home position detection sensor 15 is OFF in the first check of the home position detection sensor 15 (S212), the stepping motor 103 is reversely rotated (S212), as will be understood from the operation described later. This is because the slide member 101 is not moved to a position lower than the position detected by the home position detection sensor 15 as long as the position is detected. Therefore, when the home position detection sensor 15 is OFF, if the slide member 101 is lowered, the slide member 101 always moves to a position detected by the home position detection sensor 15. If the slide member 101 is positioned below the position detected by the home position detection sensor 15 due to some trouble, the home position detection sensor 15 is checked in the next home position detection sensor 15 (S213). Since it is not turned ON, it is possible to detect an abnormality in the apparatus.
[0029]
When the initialization operation is completed in this way, the beer bottle 20 is fixed to the bottle table 3 and the cup 21 is placed on the cup table 7, and the operator performs a predetermined operation, whereby the next liquid level alignment operation is performed. Move on.
[0030]
A flow chart for liquid level matching is shown in FIG. The liquid level alignment is an operation performed following the initialization operation or the pouring operation, and it is assumed that the bottle table 3 is located at the home position. In addition to correcting the beer capacity, this liquid level alignment also has the purpose of preventing the flow of beer from becoming non-uniform and causing extra foam, particularly during the first pouring. This phenomenon is caused by the shape of the beer bottle 20 in which the inner diameter is sharply reduced near the tip. This sharply narrowed part is called the `` shoulder '', but at the beginning of the pouring, the flow rate partially differs between the flow that hits the shoulder and the flow that does not hit, so the flow of beer becomes uneven, so the whole As a smooth pour out. Therefore, by adjusting the liquid level and reducing the amount of the first beer to some extent, it is possible to suppress the adverse effect of the beer flow caused by the shoulder at the time of pouring.
[0031]
In the liquid level alignment, first, the stepping motor 103 is rotated forward by a predetermined pulse (S401), and the slide member 1013 is raised. At this time, the number of pulses applied to the stepping motor 103 is such that the bottle base 3 rotates as the slide member 101 rises and the bottle body of the beer bottle 20 fixed to the bottle base 3 rises, so that all the fixed beer bottles are fixed. This is the number of pulses necessary to remove unnecessary beer from 20 and to have the same capacity. Therefore, since the number of pulses differs depending on the amount of beer contained in the beer bottle 20 such as the first time and the second time, the inclination of the bottle base 3 for each time is obtained in advance by experiments and the slide until the inclination is reached. The number of pulses corresponding to the movement amount of the member 101 is set. In the present embodiment, in the case of a large bottle, when the inclination of the bottle base 3 with respect to the home position is + in the direction in which the bottle base 3 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 2, the first time is + 8.4 ° and the second time is The number of pulses was set so that + 13.0 ° and + 18.1 ° for the third time.
[0032]
Next, the stepping motor 103 is stopped (S402), and the liquid level of the beer in the beer bottle 20 is stabilized. As a result, a predetermined amount of beer remains in the beer bottle 20. In this embodiment, the stop time of the stepping motor 103 is 30 seconds. Thereafter, the stepping motor 103 is reversely rotated until the home position detection sensor 15 is turned on (S403, S404), the slide member 101 is lowered, the stepping motor 103 is stopped (S405), and the liquid level alignment is finished. Thereby, at the time of completion | finish of a liquid level, the bottle stand 3 is located in a home position.
[0033]
As described above, by tilting the beer bottle 20 by a predetermined angle and causing the beer to flow out, the amount of beer contained in the beer bottle 20 is corrected, and the amount of beer in each beer bottle 20 is unified to a predetermined amount. The
[0034]
Since the beer that has flowed out of the beer bottle 20 by this liquid level alignment is not used in the foaming test, the cup 21 does not necessarily have to be placed on the cup base 7, and any container may be placed.
[0035]
When the liquid level alignment is completed, the cup 21 is replaced with a new one, and the operator performs a predetermined operation to move to the next pouring operation.
[0036]
A flowchart of the pouring operation is shown in FIG. The pouring operation is an operation performed following the liquid level alignment, and it is assumed that the bottle table 3 is located at the home position, similarly to the liquid level alignment. In the pouring operation, first, the stepping motor 103 is rotated forward by a predetermined pulse (S501), and the slide member 101 is raised. Here, the number of pulses given to the stepping motor 103 is slightly larger than the number of pulses given at the time of reverse rotation of the stepping motor 103 performed in the liquid level alignment performed before the pouring operation (S403). That is, the inclination becomes slightly larger than the inclination of the beer bottle 20 at the time of liquid level alignment. The reason is to give a certain initial speed to the beer at the beginning of pouring, and to pour the beer into the central part of the cup 21 without dripping, and the inclination of the beer bottle 20 at this time is slightly different depending on the number of times of pouring. The inclination is about 3 ° larger than the inclination at the time of liquid level alignment. Thereby, the beer bottle 20 is inclined until the liquid level of the beer is located at the edge of the bottle mouth.
[0037]
Next, the stepping motor 103 is rotated at a predetermined speed (S502), the slide member 101 is further raised, and the beer in the beer bottle 20 is poured into the cup 21. In this embodiment, the predetermined speed is such that the bottle table 3 is rotated at an angular speed at which about 150 g of beer is poured out in 5.5 seconds obtained in the experiment for grasping the beer pouring conditions described above. Speed.
[0038]
After rotating the stepping motor 103 at a predetermined speed for 5.5 seconds (S503), the stepping motor 103 is stopped (S504). As a result, beer is poured into the cup 21, but since the liquid level is adjusted in advance, about 150 g of beer is poured into the cup 21 so that the foam ratio is about 40%. . Further, the rotational angular speed of the bottle table 3 for pouring 150 g of beer in 5.5 seconds varies depending on the number of beer pours. Therefore, the rotational angular speed of the bottle table 3 for each time is obtained in advance by experiments or the like. The speed of the stepping motor 103 corresponding to the rotational angular speed 3 is set.
[0039]
When beer is poured into the cup 21, the stepping motor 103 is reversed until the home position detection sensor 15 is turned on (S505, S506), the bottle table 3 is positioned at the home position, and the pouring operation is terminated.
[0040]
When there is a next pouring operation, the cup 21 filled with beer is replaced with a new one, and the operator performs a predetermined operation to repeat the liquid level alignment and pouring operation again.
[0041]
4 to 7, the operation of the upper limit position detection sensor 16 is omitted, but the detection result from the upper limit position detection sensor 16 is always output to the control unit 17, and the upper limit position detection is performed. When the sensor 16 is turned on, that is, when the upper limit position detection sensor 16 detects the slide member 101, the operation of this apparatus is stopped as a failure of the drive system.
[0042]
As described above, when pouring beer from the beer bottle 20 into the cup 21, the bottle base 3 is rotated around the vicinity of the bottle mouth of the beer bottle 20, so that there is a difference in height from the bottle mouth to the cup 21. Since the bottle table 3 is rotated at a constant angular velocity according to the number of times of pouring (beer bottle 20 is inclined) after the liquid level is adjusted, the amount of beer poured out per unit time Is also almost constant. That is, the beer pouring conditions are almost equal regardless of each beer bottle 20 and the number of times of pouring, and as a result, the amount of beer poured into each cup 21 and the foam ratio are substantially constant. Therefore, it is optimal as a sample for a foam holding test.
[0043]
By pouring beer from the beer bottle 20 into the cup 21 in this manner, for example, when 10 large bottles of beer bottles 20 are set in the beer pouring device of the present embodiment, 10 cups for a foam test at a time. And a total of 30 samples are obtained. Furthermore, if the third pouring operation is completed, if a new beer bottle 20 is replaced, more samples can be obtained.
[0044]
In the present embodiment described above, an example in which a large bottle is used as the beer bottle 20 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to a large bottle, and a medium bottle can also be used. In that case, as shown in FIG. 8, when the beer bottle 20 ′ of the middle bottle is set on the bottle table 3, the height of the large bottle and the middle bottle between the bottle bottom and the back surface 3 a of the bottle table 3. If the spacer 30 with the difference thickness is arranged, the bottle mouth can be placed on the bottle mouth receptacle 5 as in the case of the large bottle. Of course, when the middle bottle is used, the driving conditions of the stepping motor 103 at the time of liquid level alignment and pouring operation also change, so it is necessary to set them accordingly.
[0045]
In addition, depending on the type of beer, the content of carbon dioxide differs, and if the content of carbon dioxide is large, foaming is improved. If the height is adjusted, beer can be poured out so that the foam ratio is constant regardless of the type of beer.
[0046]
