Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dispen_ser, more particularly a beverage dispenser for dispensing bottles or cans.
  • Dispensing machines thai; dispense canned, or bottled drinlk are commonplace. Such machines are normally of a "vending" variety that supply a single unit of beverage to a customer, operated by a coin-activated means. An internaZL refrigerator ensures that drink is cold for consumption, hicZti is desirable f o r the customer. Dispensing machines of this variety are usually located outdoors or at least away from food service establishments (although may be found in close proximi-ty to other automated food vending machines) . Very rarely wo tld a beverage vending machine be found in a bar, public house or restaurant establishment.
  • the current method of cooling bottled or canned beverrages, ready for sale, is to load individual bo ⁇ ttles from a case (e.g. a cardboard carton of, say, 24 bottles) into a back-of-bar conventional fridge. It can often take ⁇ many hours for a conventional fridge to sufficiently cool a bottle and its contents to a desirable temperature yet, depending on dema_nd, far less time is available for adequate refrigeration. Furthermore it is likely that the coldest bottles will be at the back of the fridge whereas the warmer: bottles are turned over more rapidly (because of easy access) at the front of the fridge. Such is the case in a husy establishment.
  • a dispenser including a housing for storing a plurality of packaged, products, a user accessible input means for putting a packaged product into the housing and a dispensing means for releasing a packaged product from the housing, there beirxg a pathway for the movement of packaged produ ⁇ ct between the input means and dispensing means.
  • the housing- has associated therewith a refrigeration means for cooling the packaged product.
  • the dispensing means can be set to a mode wherein it cannot activate to release a packaged product from the dispensing means unless another packag- ed product is placed by the user into the inpui means.
  • control means wherein the ciesired temperature of a packiaged product at the dispensing means can be set to a predetermined temperature such that said packaged product will not be released from the dispensing means unless it is at the predetermined temperature .
  • control means adjusts the ref rigeration characteristics (e.g. rate of heat exchange ) depending on th e speed of throughput of packaged product in trie pathway.
  • the refrigeration method i s forced air convection within the housing.
  • Figure 1 is a section view i llustrating a preferred embodiment of a dispenser according to the present invention.
  • Figure 2 is a general perspective view of an alternative embodiment according to the prese t invention.
  • a dispenser according to the present invention is generally denoted 10.
  • a primary housing 11 encloses a snaking pathway 12 along which a plurality of bottles B (shown end-on in the view illustrated) travels.
  • pathway 12 is of a gravrlty feeding type, cdefined by inclined surfaces 13 directing bottles B, in single file, to roll toward an adjacent opposing inclined surface douoling back below.
  • This type of pathway where the first object in one end is the first out the other end i.e. "first-in-first-out" is well known.
  • the general layout allows a compact design.
  • an input means 14 in the form of a scalloped recess, shaped to receive a bottle B.
  • a bottle B (not shown within recess 14) could rest on a surface of the scallop awaiting entry into housing 11 if it was otherwise full off product.
  • a gate 15 conforming with and forming part of scallop 14 revolves around an axis 16 to provide an entrance to pathway 12. Gate 15 can be con. trolled by a control means 17 hereinafter described.
  • a dispensing means 18 where bottles B can be controllably released from housing 11.
  • the dispensing means 18 is comprised of a scalloped disc (or cylinder) 19 rotatable about an axiis pin 20.
  • the disc 19 rotates ( either counter clockwise or clockwise for a fraction, of a turn and then back) to capture a bottle B within scallop 21 (the radius of which is substantiality similar to that of the product, e.g. bottle B, within the dispenser 10) by virtue of the gravity feed and delivers it through a second gate 22.
  • released bottle B can roll down a short ramp 22 to a door 23, openable by a user for removal.
  • a condenser 24 and evaporator 25 module are generally known in the art of refrigeration and will not be described in any detail. However, generally it is desirable for the modules 24/25 to be proportionally dimensioned as illustrated so as to provide a dispenser 10 of practical size.
  • a centrifugal fan unit 26 is provided for forced air convection circulation of chilled air within housing 11. Air may toe directed over oottles B through holes 27 (in which case inclined surfaces 13 would preferably be a framework track to allow access for air flow) . It will be appreciated that other methiods of air circulation can be employed other than the use of centrifugal f ns.
  • control means 17 is situated at the top of the de-vice but it could be anywhere inside or outside housing 11 where there is room.
  • the dispenser 10 is intelligently controlled by control means 17 in respect of its ability to ensure dispensed product at an optimum predetermined temperature.
  • sensors may be placed at "various stage s of the pathway 12 to relay data Joack to control means 17 for monitoring.
  • Control means 17 can t ⁇ ien adjust refrigeration requirements depending on how quickly bottles B are being dispensed.
  • the adjustment of refrigeration requirements may be via increasing/decreasing operating characteristics of the condenser module itself or with respect to the speed of fan 26 that controls forced air convection (and hence wind-chill on the product) .
  • fan 26 could adjust chilled air velocity over the product, preferably in a di rection parallel with the longitudinal axis of the bottle, from 1 m/s to 20 m/s .
  • the temperature of air within the housing can be controlled to ensure it is always above the freezing point of the liquid.
  • sensors can measure the temperature of the bottle surface (or ideally its actual contents) to ensure this does not drop below freezing.
  • the effective temperature of air inside the housing may be below the freezing point of the liquid within bottles B but the risk of actual freezing is minimised by controlling the time that recirculated air is below the freezing point such that there is not enough time for the liquid to freeze .
  • Intelligent control relies on monitoring the a-ir or bottle temperature within the system anol analysis by comparison with experimental data.
  • a control panel (not illustrated) interface can b»e used by the user to pre-set the dispenser.
  • One of the options may be to manually release a bottle or plurality of bottles from the dispensing means, however, in general operation the control means 17 should be automatic.
  • the automatic function is to prevent dispensing means 18 from releasing a bottle B unless a replacement bottle has been sensed as being placed in the input end 14.
  • a sensor further down the first inclined surface 13a could prevent a user from ⁇ tri eking' control means 17 into sensing a bottle by merely manually holding open gate 15 (where a first sensor would likely be positioned) .
  • the advantage of the dispenser according to the present invention is to ensure that the "fridge is aiways stocked" after initial loading, thereby meeting customer drinking requirements as to temperature.
  • the first-in-first-out configuration inherently means that the bottle being dispensed has had the longest residency time in the device and is therefore the coldest.
  • the control means 17 controls refrigeration for the greatest e fficiency such trxat a bottle is gradually cool ed during its travel down pathway 12 .
  • the dispenser can also include exteri or advertising for the products hou sed within .
  • Alternative configurations acco rding to the pre sent invention can include provision for mu ltiple products , each with a separate chute for loading and dispensing product (possibly for compactness the chute , equivale nt to pathway 12 , could simply be a vertical channel ) .
  • An advanced embodiment of the control means could h e programmed with different optimum temperatures for dif ferent products and adj ust an advanced- refrigeration means accordingly .
  • Another mode of operation may include the loading of multiple bottles (e.g. a full carton of 12 or 24) into the; pathway 12 at one time.
  • Product can then be dispensed automatically (one-by- one) from the bottom again once reaching the required temperature, hut the control means would notify when a further plurality (e.g. another 12 or 24) bottles needs to be loaded.
  • the dispenser has a kind of ⁇ batch ' refrigeration mode, rather than continuous operation.
  • Such a mode may be useful for bar staff as a full carton of bottles is loaded at one time (saving the time of loading only one bottle at a time), but always ensuring that another batch is at drinking temperature.
  • the pathway 12 be long enough to house at least two full cartons (e.g. 24 or 48 bottles ) .
  • the energy requirements of the dispenser may be high if the establishment has a heavy demand for the particular product, however, it will be apparent that sales are higher to the same degree. A lo er turnover of product through the dispenser will have correspondingly lower energy requirements as the control means can conservatively operate the re frigeration means .
  • Figure 2 illustrates a second embodiment of a dispenser according to the present invention, w herein the housing 28 includes a lever 29 extending therefrom to load/release a bottle B .
  • a window 30 is also provided -to view bottles within .
  • Such a device could also be gravity reliant as with pathway 12 from Figure 1 or include a motorised means for conveying bottle s B from an input t end 14 to the dispensing mean s 18 .
  • Some embodiments could have a bottom-to — top feed of bottles by a suit able conveyance means .
  • Other "active" conveyence means could he developed, such that it is not neces sary to re ly on gravity .
  • One advantage of the present invent ion is improving the reliab le dispense of packaged prodiucts ( e . g . alcoholic beverages in a drinking establishment ) at a required temperature .
  • the embodiment described h erein could be modified for providing hot packages of like product based on the same principles , by simply s ubstituting refrigeration equipment for heating/cooking equipment in a heat resistant housing .
  • a second advantage is the ability to remain "stocked” in the sense that a user (usually bar staff etc) is essentially prompt ed to replace a product into the dispenser well before it runs o ut .
  • the housing will include an insulated wa ll to improve efficiency, particularly when the dispenser is in resident refrigeration mode, i.e. when the establishment is closed and the dispenser acts merely as a fridge.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un distributeur (10) conçu pour être utilisé dans un établissement public ou un bar pour distribuer des boissons, de préférence fraîches. Le distributeur comprend un logement (11) comportant une extrémité d'entrée (14), accessible à un utilisateur, dans laquelle est placée une bouteille de boisson (B). Dans le logement, il existe un circuit (12) conduisant vers une extrémité de distribution (18) par laquelle les bouteilles sont distribuées. De préférence, le logement est réfrigéré (à l'aide d'un équipement à convection forcée pour permettre un refroidissement rapide) pour que les bouteilles soient refroidies à une température prédéterminée avant d'être distribuées. Il est également préférable que l'extrémité de distribution soit activée par la mise en place d'une bouteille de boisson (en général « chaude ») dans l'extrémité d'entrée. Ainsi, le distributeur contient toujours des boissons fraîches prêtes à être vendues.
