Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Zapfkopf zur Entnahme von unter Gasdruck stehenden Getränken, der auf einen Behälter, beispielsweise ein Faß, aufgesetzt werden kann.The invention relates to a tap head for the removal of gas pressure standing drinks placed on a container, for example a barrel, can be put on.

Bei allen bisherigen Zapfköpfen besteht ein Problem darin, den Kopfraum des Zapfkopfes zu entlüften, wenn der Getränkebehälter leer ist. Wird der Zapfkopf abgeschlagen, entlüftet der Kopfraum nicht selbständig. Die Entlüftung des Zapfkopf-Kopfraums muß mit erheblichem Kraftaufwand herbeigeführt werden. Wenn der Gasdruck entsprechend hoch ist, kann der Zapfkopf nicht vom Getränkebehälteranschluß entfernt und kein voller Getränkebehälter an den Zapfkopf angeschlossen werden.One problem with all previous dispensing heads is the headspace bleed the dispensing head when the beverage container is empty. Will the Tap head knocked off, the headspace does not vent automatically. The Venting the dispenser headspace must be done with considerable effort be brought about. If the gas pressure is high enough, can the dispensing head is not removed from the beverage container connection and not a full one Beverage containers are connected to the dispensing head.

In der WO 95/11191 ist die Kopfraumentlüftung in der Art gelöst, daß über eine mit einem Schieber geschaltete Entlüftungsbohrung der Kopfraum des Zapfkopfes im abgeschlagenen Zustand entlüftet wird.In WO 95/11191 the headspace ventilation is solved in such a way that a vent hole in the headspace switched by a slide of the dispensing head is vented in the cut-off state.

Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform wird die Zapfkopfdichtung vom Schieber angehoben und so der Kopfraum des Zapfkopfes entlüftet. Auch bei dieser Ausführungsform sind mehrere Dichtungen erforderlich. Es kann nicht ausgeschlossen werden, daß das zu fördernde Getränk im Gehäuse verschleppt wird.In another embodiment, the tap head seal is from the slide raised, thus venting the headspace of the dispensing head. Also at several seals are required in this embodiment. It can it cannot be excluded that the beverage to be pumped in the housing is abducted.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Zapfkopf zu schaffen, der so konzipiert ist, daß der Kopfraum wegfällt und somit keine Kopfraumentlüftung erforderlich ist.The present invention has for its object to a tap head create that is designed so that the headspace is eliminated and therefore none Headspace ventilation is required.

Die Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe wird mit einem Zapfkopf gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst.The solution to the problem is with a tap head according to claim 1 solved.

Dieser Zapfkopf weist mehrere Vorteile auf. So wird kein Produkt im Gehäuse verschleppt. Ferner hat der Zapfkopf gemäß der Erfindung mindestens zwei Dichtungen weniger als bisherige Zapfköpfe, und eine spezielle Kopfraumentlüftung ist nicht erforderlich, weil der Zapfkopf gemäß der Erfindung selbstentlüftend ist.This dispensing head has several advantages. So there is no product in the housing carried off. Furthermore, the tap head according to the invention has at least two seals less than previous tap heads, and a special one Headspace ventilation is not required because the dispensing head according to the invention is self-venting.

In den Unteransprüchen sind weitere erfinderische Merkmale des Zapfkopfes gemäß Anspruch 1 beschrieben.Further inventive features of the tap head are in the subclaims described according to claim 1.

Anhand der Zeichnungen soll am Beispiel einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Zapfkopf gemäß der Erfindung näher erläutert werden.The drawings are based on the example of a preferred embodiment the dispensing head according to the invention are explained in more detail.

Wie sich aus den Figuren 1 bis 5 der Zeichnungen ergibt, besteht der Zapfkopf aus einem Gehäuse 1, in dem ein Verschlußbolzen 2 angeordnet ist, der mittels einer Befestigungsschraube 3 mit dem Gehäuse 1 verbunden ist. Den Verschlußbolzen 2 umgibt ein Schieber 4, der mittels eines Hebels 5 auf- und abbewegt werden kann und so den Schieber 4 in die abgeschlagene Stellung (Fig. 1) und in die angeschlagene Stellung (Fig. 2) bringen kann. Hierzu ist am Betätigungshebel 5 ein Mitnehmer 6 vorgesehen, der in eine umlaufende Nut 7 am Schieber 4 eingreift.As can be seen from Figures 1 to 5 of the drawings, the Dispensing head from a housing 1 in which a locking bolt 2 is arranged is connected to the housing 1 by means of a fastening screw 3 is. The locking bolt 2 surrounds a slide 4, which means a lever 5 can be moved up and down and so the slide 4 in the stripped position (Fig. 1) and in the struck position (Fig. 2) can bring. For this purpose, a driver 6 is located on the actuating lever 5 provided, which engages in a circumferential groove 7 on the slide 4.

Am Schieber 4 ist ferner ein Anschluß 8 für das zum Auslaß fördernde Getränk vorgesehen, der in einen Getränkekanal 9 zwischen dem Verschlußbolzen 2 und dem Schieber 4 mündet. Der Betätigungshebel 5 ist über eine Schenkelfeder 10 mit einem Arretierungshebel 11 verbunden, der in der oberen Stellung in die Arretierungsbohrung 12 und in der unteren Stellung in die Arretierungsbohrung 13 einrastet und somit den Schieber in diesen beiden Endstellungen festlegt. Am Schieber 4 ist ferner ein CO2-Schlauchanschluß 14 angeordnet, in dessen erweitertem Hinterteil ein Rückschlagventil 15 mit einem Anschluß- und Betätigungsbolzen 16 angeordnet ist. Der CO2-Schalter 17 weist einen Einschnitt bzw. eine Nut auf, die in eine Schalt- bzw. Schalterführung 18 im Gehäuse greift. Im Anschluß an das Rückschlagventil 15 ist zwischen dem Schieber 4 und dem mit dem Schieber 4 nach unten beweglichen Stößel 19 ein Förderkanal 20 für das CO2-Gas vorgesehen.On the slide 4, a connection 8 is also provided for the beverage conveying to the outlet, which opens into a beverage channel 9 between the locking bolt 2 and the slide 4. The actuating lever 5 is connected via a leg spring 10 to a locking lever 11 which in the upper position engages in the locking bore 12 and in the lower position in the locking bore 13 and thus fixes the slide in these two end positions. On the slide 4, a CO 2 hose connection 14 is also arranged, in the enlarged rear part of which a check valve 15 with a connection and actuating bolt 16 is arranged. The CO 2 switch 17 has a notch or a groove which engages in a switch or switch guide 18 in the housing. Following the check valve 15, a delivery channel 20 for the CO 2 gas is provided between the slide 4 and the plunger 19 movable downward with the slide 4.

Am unteren Teil des Gehäuses 1 ist eine Flanschdichtung 21 vorgesehen, die in angeschlagener Position des Zapfkopfes den Getränkebehälter vom Schieber 4 abdichtet.A flange seal 21 is provided on the lower part of the housing 1, the in the stripped position of the dispensing head the beverage container from Slider 4 seals.

Wie sich aus Fig. 1 ergibt, ist in der abgeschlagenen Position der Arretierungshebel 11 in der Arretierungsbohrung 12 eingerastet, wodurch der Schieber 4 in seiner oberen Position gehalten wird. Der CO2-Schalter 17 wird von der Schalt- bzw. Schalterführung 18 in dieser Position gehalten, so daß kein Fördergas durch den Förderkanal 20 austreten kann. Aus dieser Position ist ersichtlich, daß der Zapfkopf gemäß der Erfindung gar keinen Kopfraum hat, der entlüftet werden müßte. Gleichzeitig sind in dieser Position über den Verschlußbolzen 2 der Getränkekanal 9 und der Getränkeleitungsanschluß 8 verschlossen. Außerdem dichtet die am unteren Ende des Stößels 19 vorgesehene O-Ringdichtung 19a den Stößel 19 gegenüber dem Verschlußbolzen 2 ab.As can be seen from FIG. 1, the locking lever 11 is locked in the locking bore 12 in the cut-off position, as a result of which the slide 4 is held in its upper position. The CO 2 switch 17 is held in this position by the switch or switch guide 18, so that no conveying gas can escape through the conveying channel 20. From this position it can be seen that the dispensing head according to the invention has no head space that should be vented. At the same time, the beverage channel 9 and the beverage line connection 8 are closed in this position via the locking bolt 2. In addition, the O-ring seal 19a provided at the lower end of the tappet 19 seals the tappet 19 from the locking bolt 2.

Wie sich aus Fig. 2 ergibt, wird beim Ausschenken der Zapfkopf gemäß der Erfindung auf den Behälteranschluß geschoben. Danach wird der Schieber 4 mit dem daran befindlichen Stößel 19 mittels des Betätigungshebels 5 über den Mitnehmer 5 verbunden und über die Nut 7 in Schankposition gebracht und über den Arretierungshebel 11 in der Arretierungsbohrung 13 verriegelt. In dieser Position wird der CO2-Schalter 17 in Richtung des Betätigungsbolzens 16 geschoben, und das Rückschlagventil 15 wird geöffnet, so daß über den CO2-Schlauchanschluß 14 Fördergas (CO2) über den Förderkanal 20 in das Faß strömen kann. Dieser Überdruck sorgt dann, wenn der Zapfhahn geöffnet wird, dafür, daß das Getränk am Verschlußbolzen 2 vorbei durch den Getränkekanal 9 über den Getränkeleitungsanschluß 8 zum Zapfhahn und von dort ins Glas fließen kann. Der Gaseintritt in den Getränkebehälter wird, über die Flanschdichtung 21 verpreßt, vom Schieber abgedichtet. Schlägt man den Zapfkopf ab, so wird der Schieber 4 mit dem Stößel 19 von der Dichtung 21 abgehoben, und der Druck, der sich für die Getränkeförderung aufgebaut hatte, wird sofort abgebaut.As can be seen from FIG. 2, the dispensing head according to the invention is pushed onto the container connection when pouring out. Thereafter, the slide 4 is connected to the plunger 19 located thereon by means of the actuating lever 5 via the driver 5 and brought into the dispensing position via the groove 7 and locked in the locking bore 13 via the locking lever 11. In this position, the CO 2 switch 17 is pushed in the direction of the actuating bolt 16, and the check valve 15 is opened so that conveying gas (CO 2 ) can flow via the conveying channel 20 into the barrel via the CO 2 hose connection 14. This overpressure then, when the tap is opened, ensures that the beverage can flow past the locking bolt 2 through the beverage channel 9 via the beverage line connection 8 to the tap and from there into the glass. The gas inlet into the beverage container is compressed by the flange seal 21 and sealed by the slide. If you knock off the dispensing head, the slide 4 with the plunger 19 is lifted off the seal 21, and the pressure that had built up for the beverage delivery is immediately reduced.

Aus den Figuren 4 und 5 ergibt sich eine andere Ausführungsform des Zapfkopfes gemäß den Figuren 1 und 2. Anstelle der Flanschdichtung 21 ist dort eine flexible Manschette 22 vorgesehen, die am unteren Ende einen Dichtungswulst 23 aufweist. Im abgeschlagenen Zustand (Fig. 4) befindet sich die Manschette 22 mit dem Wulst 23 in der in Fig. 4 dargestellten Position.Another embodiment of the Dispensing head according to FIGS. 1 and 2. Instead of the flange seal 21 there is a flexible cuff 22 provided at the lower end has a sealing bead 23. When knocked off (Fig. 4) is the cuff 22 with the bead 23 in that shown in Fig. 4 Position.

Wird der Zapfkopf angeschlagen, so ist, wie sich aus Fig. 5 ergibt, das Gehäuse 4 mit dem Stößel 19 nach unten in das Faß bewegt. Der Flansch 22 wird zusammengedrückt, und der Wulst 23 legt sich dichtend zwischen das Faß und den Schieber 4.If the dispensing head is struck, as is apparent from FIG. 5, that Housing 4 moved with the plunger 19 down into the barrel. The flange 22 is pressed together and the bead 23 lies between them in a sealing manner the barrel and the slide 4.

Es ist ferner möglich, den dargestellten Zapfkopf auch bei automatischen Zapfkopfsystemen einzusetzen. Eine derartige Ausführungsform ist in den Figuren 6 bis 8 dargestellt.It is also possible to use the dispensing head shown even with automatic Use dispensing head systems. Such an embodiment is in the Figures 6 to 8 shown.

Anstelle des Hebels ist dort eine pneumatische Einrichtung mit einer Druckkammer 24 und einer Schraubenfeder 25 vorgesehen. Durch Beaufschlagung der Druckkammer 24 wird der Kolben 26 nach unten bewegt, und der Schieber 27 mit dem Stößel 28 wird in Richtung Faß und in dieses hinein bewegt. In diesem angeschlagenen Zustand (Fig. 7) liegt der untere Schieberteil 27a an dem Dichtungsflansch 21 an und stellt somit die Dichtung zwischen dem Gehäuse und dem Schieber her.Instead of the lever there is a pneumatic device with a Pressure chamber 24 and a coil spring 25 are provided. By loading the piston 26 is moved downward from the pressure chamber 24, and the slide 27 with the plunger 28 is in the direction of the barrel and in this moves into it. In this struck state (Fig. 7) is the lower slide part 27a on the sealing flange 21 and thus represents the seal between the housing and the slide.

Die CO2-Zuführung 29 ist mit dem sich aus Fig. 8 ergebenden Gaskanal verbunden, der über den Stößel in das Faß führt. Im abgeschlagenen Zustand (Fig. 6) befindet sich der Stößel in der oberen Stellung, und der Gaskanal und die Getränkezufuhr sind geschlossen.The CO 2 supply 29 is connected to the gas duct resulting from FIG. 8, which leads into the barrel via the tappet. In the cut-off state (FIG. 6), the tappet is in the upper position and the gas channel and the beverage supply are closed.
