Description

本発明は、ワイン等の飲料の入ったボトルに装着しボトル内の飲料を注出するための飲料サーバーに関する。   The present invention relates to a beverage server that is attached to a bottle containing a beverage such as wine and dispenses the beverage in the bottle.

ワインサーバー等の飲料サーバーは、あらかじめボトルに装着しておき、ボトル内の飲料を注出する際に、ボトル内に窒素等の不活性ガスを供給して飲料を注出し、飲料が空気に触れないようにしている。このことにより、飲料の酸化を防ぎ飲料の品質を維持することができる。飲料サーバーには不活性ガスの供給手段が必要であり、飲料サーバーと不活性ガスの供給手段とが一体になったままであると、多数のボトルを貯蔵するには広い空間が必要になるという問題があった。このことから、下記特許文献１には、不活性ガスの供給のための気体供給アセンブラをボトルから分離可能にしたものが提案されていた。   Beverage servers such as wine servers are installed in bottles in advance, and when the beverage in the bottle is poured out, the beverage is poured by supplying inert gas such as nitrogen into the bottle, and the beverage touches the air. I am trying not to. This prevents the beverage from being oxidized and maintains the quality of the beverage. The beverage server requires an inert gas supply means, and if the beverage server and the inert gas supply means remain integrated, a large space is required to store a large number of bottles. was there. For this reason, Patent Document 1 below has proposed a gas supply assembler for supplying an inert gas that can be separated from the bottle.

特開２００５−１８７０７５号公報Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-187075

しかしながら、前記特許文献１の構成は、貯蔵空間の確保の点では有利になるが、一旦分離した気体供給アセンブラを再度装着して使用する際に、気体供給アセンブラ内の残留空気がボトル内に混入してしまう。この残留空気は少量ではあっても、気体供給アセンブラを繰り返し脱着して使用すれば、その都度ボトル内に残留空気が入るので、飲料の酸化防止には不利になる。   However, the configuration of Patent Document 1 is advantageous in terms of securing a storage space, but when the gas supply assembler once separated is used again, residual air in the gas supply assembler is mixed into the bottle. Resulting in. Even if this residual air is small, if the gas supply assembler is repeatedly desorbed and used, the residual air enters the bottle each time, which is disadvantageous in preventing beverage oxidation.

本発明は、前記のような従来の問題を解決するものであり、不活性ガス供給手段を着脱可能として貯蔵空間の確保に有利としながらも、不活性ガス供給手段内の残留空気がボトル内に混入することを防止できる飲料サーバーを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention solves the conventional problems as described above, and the inert gas supply means is detachable, which is advantageous for securing a storage space, but the residual air in the inert gas supply means is contained in the bottle. It aims at providing the drink server which can prevent mixing.

前記目的を達成するために、本発明の飲料サーバーは、ボトルに装着しボトル内の飲料を注出するための飲料サーバーであって、前記飲料サーバーは、不活性ガス供給手段が脱着可能であり、かつ切換え手段を備えており、前記切換え手段は、前記飲料サーバーに前記不活性ガス供給手段を接続したときに、前記不活性ガス供給手段から供給される不活性ガスを排気可能にして、前記不活性ガス供給手段のガス供給流路内の残留空気を排気する第１の設定と、前記不活性ガスを前記ボトル内に供給する第２の設定とに切り換え可能に構成されていることを特徴とする。   In order to achieve the above object, the beverage server of the present invention is a beverage server that is attached to a bottle and dispenses the beverage in the bottle, and the beverage server is detachable from an inert gas supply means. And switching means, wherein the switching means enables exhausting of the inert gas supplied from the inert gas supply means when the inert gas supply means is connected to the beverage server, It is configured to be switchable between a first setting for exhausting residual air in the gas supply flow path of the inert gas supply means and a second setting for supplying the inert gas into the bottle. And

この構成によれば、飲料サーバーに対し不活性ガス供給手段が着脱可能であるので、貯蔵空間の確保に有利になるとともに、不活性ガス供給手段内の残留空気がボトル内に混入することを防止できるので、不活性ガス供給手段を繰り返し脱着しても、飲料の酸化を防ぎ飲料の品質を維持することができる。すなわち、第１の設定時に、不活性ガス供給手段のガス供給流路内の残留空気が排気されているので、不活性ガスをボトルに供給する第２の設定時にボトル内に残留空気が注入されることが防止される。このことにより、少量の残留空気でさえも、ボトル内に入ることが防止されるので、飲料の酸化防止が確実になり、長期間飲料の品質を維持することができる。   According to this configuration, the inert gas supply means can be attached to and detached from the beverage server, which is advantageous for securing a storage space and prevents the residual air in the inert gas supply means from being mixed into the bottle. Therefore, even if the inert gas supply means is repeatedly desorbed, the beverage can be prevented from being oxidized and the quality of the beverage can be maintained. That is, since the residual air in the gas supply flow path of the inert gas supply means is exhausted at the first setting, the residual air is injected into the bottle at the second setting for supplying the inert gas to the bottle. Is prevented. As a result, even a small amount of residual air is prevented from entering the bottle, so that the beverage is reliably prevented from being oxidized and the quality of the beverage can be maintained for a long time.

前記本発明の飲料サーバーにおいては、前記切換え手段は、前記不活性ガス供給手段から供給される不活性ガスを排気する排気口を備えており、前記飲料サーバーは、前記不活性ガス供給手段から供給される不活性ガスを注入する注入口を備えており、前記切換え手段の移動により、前記第１の設定時に前記排気口と前記注入口との位置をずらして、不活性ガスを排気させ、前記第２の設定時に前記排気口と前記注入口との位置を合わせて、前記ボトル内に不活性ガスを供給可能にしたことが好ましい。この構成によれば、簡単な構造で切換え手段を実現できるとともに、切換え手段の操作が容易かつ確実になる。   In the beverage server of the present invention, the switching means includes an exhaust port for exhausting the inert gas supplied from the inert gas supply means, and the beverage server is supplied from the inert gas supply means. And an inlet for injecting the inert gas, and the movement of the switching means shifts the position of the exhaust port and the inlet at the time of the first setting to exhaust the inert gas, It is preferable that the inert gas can be supplied into the bottle by matching the positions of the exhaust port and the injection port during the second setting. According to this configuration, the switching means can be realized with a simple structure, and the operation of the switching means becomes easy and reliable.

また、前記飲料サーバーは、ボトルへの装着時にボトルの液面側に向けて突出した凸部が形成されていることが好ましい。この構成によれば、飲料サーバーのボトルへの装着時にボトルから押し出される空気の体積が大きくなり、ボトル内の空気の排気が容易になる。   Moreover, it is preferable that the said drink server is formed with the convex part which protruded toward the liquid level side of the bottle at the time of mounting | wearing with a bottle. According to this configuration, the volume of the air pushed out from the bottle when the beverage server is mounted on the bottle is increased, and the air in the bottle can be easily exhausted.

また、前記切換え手段は、前記飲料サーバーに形成した凹部内に配置していることが好ましい。この構成によれば、切換え手段の大型化が抑えられ、飲料サーバーを装着したボトルの貯蔵空間の確保に有利になる。   Moreover, it is preferable that the said switching means is arrange | positioned in the recessed part formed in the said drink server. According to this configuration, an increase in the size of the switching means is suppressed, which is advantageous for securing a storage space for a bottle equipped with a beverage server.

本発明によれば、飲料サーバーに対し不活性ガス供給手段が着脱可能であるので、貯蔵空間の確保に有利になるとともに、不活性ガス供給手段内の残留空気がボトル内に混入することを防止できるので、不活性ガス供給手段を繰り返し脱着しても、飲料の酸化を防ぎ飲料の品質を維持することができる。   According to the present invention, since the inert gas supply means can be attached to and detached from the beverage server, it is advantageous for securing a storage space, and residual air in the inert gas supply means is prevented from being mixed into the bottle. Therefore, even if the inert gas supply means is repeatedly desorbed, the beverage can be prevented from being oxidized and the quality of the beverage can be maintained.

以下、本発明の一実施形態に係る飲料サーバーについて、図面を参照しながら説明する。本実施形態に係る飲料サーバーは、例えばワインサーバーであるが、本実施形態に係る飲料サーバーは、飲料が空気に触れることによる飲料の酸化を防止できるので、他の飲料の飲料サーバーとして用いることができる。図１は本発明の第１の実施形態に係る飲料サーバー１をボトル３に装着した状態を示す斜視図、図２は飲料サーバー１に不活性ガス供給手段２を接続した状態の斜視図を示している。   Hereinafter, a beverage server according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The beverage server according to the present embodiment is, for example, a wine server. However, the beverage server according to the present embodiment can prevent the beverage from being oxidized due to the beverage touching the air, so that it can be used as a beverage server for other beverages. it can. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a beverage server 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention is mounted on a bottle 3, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which an inert gas supply means 2 is connected to the beverage server 1. ing.

図１に示したように、飲料サーバー１はボトル３に装着されている。飲料サーバー１のボトル３への装着構造については、後に図３を参照しながら説明する。図２の状態では、ボトル３内の飲料を注出可能であり、その操作要領や動作については、後に図６、図７を参照しながら具体的に説明する。概略的には、不活性ガス供給ボンベ４からの不活性ガスが、供給チューブ６及び中空のコネクタ７を経てボトル３へ供給される。不活性ガスは例えば窒素である。本実施形態では、供給チューブ６及びコネクタ７で形成される流路、すなわちガス供給ボンベ４からの不活性ガスがボトル３に向けて流通する流路をガス供給流路８という。   As shown in FIG. 1, the beverage server 1 is attached to the bottle 3. The structure for mounting the beverage server 1 on the bottle 3 will be described later with reference to FIG. In the state of FIG. 2, the beverage in the bottle 3 can be poured out, and the operation procedure and operation thereof will be specifically described later with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. Schematically, the inert gas from the inert gas supply cylinder 4 is supplied to the bottle 3 through the supply tube 6 and the hollow connector 7. The inert gas is, for example, nitrogen. In this embodiment, the flow path formed by the supply tube 6 and the connector 7, that is, the flow path through which the inert gas from the gas supply cylinder 4 flows toward the bottle 3 is referred to as a gas supply flow path 8.

不活性ガスの供給圧は圧力計９により確認可能である（Ａ矢視面が圧力表示面）。ボトル３内に供給された不活性ガスにより、ボトル３内の圧力が高められた状態で、プッシュボタン１３を押すことにより、注出チューブ１９と注出管１２とが流通可能になり、ボトル３内の飲料が注出チューブ１９及び注出管１２を経てボトル３内から注出される。図２では不活性ガス供給手段２に圧力計９を設けた例を示したが、圧力計９は省いてもよい。   The supply pressure of the inert gas can be confirmed by the pressure gauge 9 (the surface indicated by the arrow A is the pressure display surface). By pushing the push button 13 in a state where the pressure in the bottle 3 is increased by the inert gas supplied into the bottle 3, the dispensing tube 19 and the dispensing tube 12 can be circulated. The beverage is poured out from the bottle 3 through the dispensing tube 19 and the dispensing tube 12. Although FIG. 2 shows an example in which the inert gas supply means 2 is provided with the pressure gauge 9, the pressure gauge 9 may be omitted.

ボトル３内の飲料を注出するときは、図１に示した接続管２４に、図２に示したように、不活性ガス供給手段２のコネクタ７を接続して、飲料サーバー１に不活性ガス供給手段２を接続する。すなわち、不活性ガス供給手段２は飲料サーバー１に対して、コネクタ７により着脱可能であり、ボトル３を保管するときには、不活性ガス供給手段２を飲料サーバー１から取り外した図１の状態で保管することができる。不活性ガス供給手段２を取り外した図１の状態では、飲料サーバー１はボトル３に対して大きく出っ張っていない。このことにより、狭い空間にも飲料サーバー１を装着したボトル３を貯蔵可能になり、特に多数のボトル３を貯蔵する場合に有利になる。   When the beverage in the bottle 3 is poured out, the connector 7 of the inert gas supply means 2 is connected to the connection pipe 24 shown in FIG. The gas supply means 2 is connected. That is, the inert gas supply means 2 can be attached to and detached from the beverage server 1 by the connector 7, and when the bottle 3 is stored, the inert gas supply means 2 is stored in the state shown in FIG. can do. In the state of FIG. 1 with the inert gas supply means 2 removed, the beverage server 1 does not protrude greatly from the bottle 3. This makes it possible to store the bottle 3 equipped with the beverage server 1 even in a narrow space, which is advantageous particularly when a large number of bottles 3 are stored.

図３は、飲料サーバー１の分解斜視図を示している。飲料サーバー１は、本体１０と締付け体１１とに分解でき、本体１０と締付け体１１との間にカラー１６が介在する。飲料サーバー１をボトル３に装着する際には、ボトル３のネック部４１に締付け体１１を挿通させ、カラー１６のスリット１７を広げてカラー１６をネック部４１に取り付けた状態で、本体１０のおねじ部１４の内周側にボトル３の瓶口４０を入れる。この状態で、締付け体１１のめねじ部１５を本体１０のおねじ部１４に締め付けることにより、飲料サーバー１がボトル３の瓶口４０に装着される。この装着構造は一例であり、他の構造であってもよい。   FIG. 3 shows an exploded perspective view of the beverage server 1. The beverage server 1 can be disassembled into a main body 10 and a tightening body 11, and a collar 16 is interposed between the main body 10 and the tightening body 11. When the beverage server 1 is attached to the bottle 3, the fastening body 11 is inserted into the neck portion 41 of the bottle 3, the slit 17 of the collar 16 is widened, and the collar 16 is attached to the neck portion 41. The bottle mouth 40 of the bottle 3 is put on the inner peripheral side of the external thread portion 14. In this state, the beverage server 1 is mounted on the bottle opening 40 of the bottle 3 by tightening the female thread portion 15 of the tightening body 11 to the male thread portion 14 of the main body 10. This mounting structure is an example, and other structures may be used.

図４は、飲料サーバー１の要部斜視図を示している。本実施形態に係る飲料サーバー１は、切換え手段２０を備えている。詳細は後に説明するとおり、切換え手段２０の移動により、不活性ガス供給手段２のガス供給流路８内の残留空気を排気する第１の設定と、不活性ガスをボトル３内に供給する第２の設定とに切り換え可能である。本体１０には内側に窪んだ凹部１８が形成されており、凹部１８に切換え手段２０が配置されている。この構成によれば、切換え手段２０の大半を本体１０内に収納できるので、飲料サーバー１の大型化が抑えられ、飲料サーバー１を装着したボトル３の貯蔵空間の確保に有利になる。   FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the main part of the beverage server 1. The beverage server 1 according to this embodiment includes switching means 20. As will be described in detail later, the first setting for exhausting residual air in the gas supply flow path 8 of the inert gas supply means 2 and the first supply of inert gas into the bottle 3 by the movement of the switching means 20. It is possible to switch between 2 settings. The main body 10 is formed with a recess 18 that is recessed inward, and a switching means 20 is disposed in the recess 18. According to this configuration, since most of the switching means 20 can be stored in the main body 10, an increase in size of the beverage server 1 can be suppressed, which is advantageous for securing a storage space for the bottle 3 on which the beverage server 1 is mounted.

切換え手段２０は円柱状の切換えバルブ２１を備えており、切換えバルブ２１は軸回りに回転可能（矢印ａ方向）になるように凹部１８にねじ２２で固定されている。この構成によれば、図４の状態からコネクタ７の近傍を持ち上げるようにすれば、これと一体に切り換えバルブ２１が軸回りに回転し（矢印ａ方向）、前記の第１の設定から第２の設定への切り換えが可能になる。   The switching means 20 includes a cylindrical switching valve 21, and the switching valve 21 is fixed to the recess 18 with a screw 22 so as to be rotatable about the axis (in the direction of arrow a). According to this configuration, if the vicinity of the connector 7 is lifted from the state shown in FIG. 4, the switching valve 21 rotates about the axis integrally (in the direction of arrow a), and the second setting from the first setting is performed. It is possible to switch to the setting.

図５は、飲料サーバー１単体の斜視図である。本図には、飲料サーバー１の内部に形成された流路を破線で示している。接続管２４は切換え手段２０と一体になっており、前記のとおり不活性ガス供給手段２のコネクタ７が接続される（図４参照）。本体１０は例えば樹脂製の中実体であり、ガス吐出流路２５、第１注出流路２６及び第２注出路２７が加工されている。第１注出流路２６には注出チューブ１９が接続され、第２注出流路２７には注出管１２が接続されている。第１注出路２６と第２注出路２７との間にはバルブ２８が介在し、プッシュボタン１３を押すことにより、第１注出路２６と第２注出路２７とが流通する。図５〜図７では、バルブ２８は簡略化して図示している。   FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the beverage server 1 alone. In this figure, the flow path formed inside the beverage server 1 is indicated by a broken line. The connecting pipe 24 is integrated with the switching means 20, and the connector 7 of the inert gas supply means 2 is connected as described above (see FIG. 4). The main body 10 is a solid body made of, for example, resin, and the gas discharge passage 25, the first extraction passage 26, and the second extraction passage 27 are processed. An extraction tube 19 is connected to the first extraction channel 26, and an extraction tube 12 is connected to the second extraction channel 27. A valve 28 is interposed between the first extraction path 26 and the second extraction path 27, and when the push button 13 is pressed, the first extraction path 26 and the second extraction path 27 circulate. 5 to 7, the valve 28 is illustrated in a simplified manner.

以下、図６及び図７を参照しながら、飲料サーバー１の操作要領及び動作について具体的に説明する。図６及び図７は、飲料サーバー１の本体１０部分の縦断面図を示している。図６と図７は、切換え手段２０の設定が異なっており、図６は不活性ガス供給ボンベ４（図２）からの不活性ガスを排気する第１の設定状態を示し、図７は不活性ガスをボトル３内に供給する第２の設定状態を示している。図６及び図７において、図示は適宜省略及び簡略化している。   Hereinafter, the operation procedure and operation of the beverage server 1 will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. 6 and 7 show a longitudinal sectional view of the main body 10 portion of the beverage server 1. 6 and 7 differ in the setting of the switching means 20, FIG. 6 shows a first setting state in which the inert gas from the inert gas supply cylinder 4 (FIG. 2) is exhausted, and FIG. The 2nd setting state which supplies active gas in the bottle 3 is shown. 6 and 7, illustrations are omitted and simplified as appropriate.

図６及び図７において、切換えバルブ２１の内部にはバルブ内流路３０が形成され、バルブ内流路３０の一端はガス供給流路８と流通し、他端は排気口３２が形成されている。ガス吐出路２５は一端に切換えバルブ２１に対向する注入口３１が形成されている。   6 and 7, an in-valve channel 30 is formed inside the switching valve 21, one end of the in-valve channel 30 is in communication with the gas supply channel 8, and an exhaust port 32 is formed at the other end. Yes. The gas discharge path 25 is formed with an inlet 31 facing the switching valve 21 at one end.

ボトル３から飲料を抽出する際には、飲料サーバー１に不活性ガス供給手段２が接続されていない状態から（図１の状態）、接続管２４に図２に示した飲料サーバー１のコネクタ７を接続して、飲料サーバー１に不活性ガス供給手段２を接続した状態にする。図２の状態では、図６に示したように、切換え手段２０は、切換えバルブ２１の排気口３２が上方に向くように、すなわち排気口３２と注入口３１との位置をずらした第１の設定状態になっている。この第１の設定では、不活性ガス供給ボンベ４から切換え手段２０へ向けて供給された不活性ガスは、本体１０内には供給されず、切換えバルブ２１の吐出口３２から大気中に排気される。このことにより、不活性ガスとあわせてガス供給流路８内の残留空気も排気される。   When the beverage is extracted from the bottle 3, the connector 7 of the beverage server 1 shown in FIG. 2 is connected to the connecting pipe 24 from the state where the inert gas supply means 2 is not connected to the beverage server 1 (the state shown in FIG. 1). And the inert gas supply means 2 is connected to the beverage server 1. In the state of FIG. 2, as shown in FIG. 6, the switching means 20 is configured so that the exhaust port 32 of the switching valve 21 faces upward, i.e., the first and the positions of the exhaust port 32 and the injection port 31 are shifted. It is in the setting state. In this first setting, the inert gas supplied from the inert gas supply cylinder 4 toward the switching means 20 is not supplied into the main body 10 and is exhausted from the discharge port 32 of the switching valve 21 to the atmosphere. The Thereby, the residual air in the gas supply flow path 8 is also exhausted together with the inert gas.

図６に示したように本体１０には、ボトル３の液面側に向けて突出した凸部２９が形成されている。凸部２９の突出量は装着するボトル３に合わせて設計可能であり、装着時に凸部２９が液面に触れない程度に凸部２９の突出量を大きくすることができる。凸部２９の突出量を大きくすれば、本体１０の装着時にボトル３から押し出される空気の体積が大きくなり、ボトル３内の空気の排気が容易になる。   As shown in FIG. 6, the main body 10 is formed with a convex portion 29 that protrudes toward the liquid surface of the bottle 3. The protruding amount of the protruding portion 29 can be designed according to the bottle 3 to be mounted, and the protruding amount of the protruding portion 29 can be increased to the extent that the protruding portion 29 does not touch the liquid surface during mounting. If the protruding amount of the convex portion 29 is increased, the volume of air pushed out from the bottle 3 when the main body 10 is mounted increases, and the air in the bottle 3 can be easily exhausted.

次に、切換え手段２０の設定を図７の第２の設定に切り換える。第２の設定では、切換え手段２０の吐出口３２と本体１０の注入口３１の位置が合わさっている。このことにより、切換えバルブ２１を介してガス供給流路８と本体１０の吐出流路２５とが流通可能になる。そして、不活性ガス供給ボンベ４から、切換え手段２０へ向けて供給された不活性ガスは、本体１０内に供給され、続いてボトル３内に供給される。   Next, the setting of the switching means 20 is switched to the second setting in FIG. In the second setting, the positions of the discharge port 32 of the switching means 20 and the injection port 31 of the main body 10 are matched. As a result, the gas supply flow path 8 and the discharge flow path 25 of the main body 10 can flow through the switching valve 21. Then, the inert gas supplied from the inert gas supply cylinder 4 toward the switching means 20 is supplied into the main body 10 and then supplied into the bottle 3.

一方、第１注出路２６と第２注出路２７との間に介在したバルブ２８は常時閉じているので、ボトル３内に不活性ガスが供給されると、ボトル３内が高圧になる。この状態で操作者がプッシュボタン１３を押すことにより、バルブ２８が開き第１注出路２６と第２注出路２７とが流通する。このことにより、ボトル３内の飲料は注出チューブ１９（図２、５）から第１注出路２６へ流入し、続いてバルブ２８、第２注出路２７及び注出管１２（図２、５）を経てボトル３内から注出される。   On the other hand, since the valve 28 interposed between the first and second dispensing passages 26 and 27 is always closed, when an inert gas is supplied into the bottle 3, the inside of the bottle 3 becomes high pressure. When the operator pushes the push button 13 in this state, the valve 28 is opened, and the first and second extraction passages 26 and 27 are circulated. As a result, the beverage in the bottle 3 flows from the dispensing tube 19 (FIGS. 2 and 5) into the first dispensing path 26, and then the valve 28, the second dispensing path 27 and the dispensing pipe 12 (FIGS. 2 and 5). ) Through the bottle 3.

また、ボトル３に飲料サーバー１を装着する際にも（図３参照）、切換え手段２０を第２の設定として、吐出路２５から不活性ガスを吐出する状態とするのが望ましい。このことにより、飲料サーバー１の装着時にもボトル３内に不活性ガスが吐出されるので、ボトル３内に新たな空気が流入することが防止され、速やかにボトル３内の気体が不活性ガスに置換される。   Also, when the beverage server 1 is mounted on the bottle 3 (see FIG. 3), it is desirable to set the switching means 20 to the second setting so that the inert gas is discharged from the discharge path 25. As a result, since the inert gas is discharged into the bottle 3 even when the beverage server 1 is mounted, new air is prevented from flowing into the bottle 3, and the gas in the bottle 3 is quickly turned into the inert gas. Is replaced by

ここで、切換え手段２０を有しない構成の飲料サーバーでは、不活性ガス供給手段を飲料サーバーから取り外す度に、不活性ガス供給手段のガス供給流路内に空気が入る。飲料サーバーと不活性ガス供給手段との接続部分にバルブを内蔵し、供給チューブ部分（図２の供給チューブ６に相当）に空気が入るのを防止した構造であっても、先端部分は接続のために開放空間が形成されるので、この部分に空気が入ることは避けられない。   Here, in a beverage server having no switching means 20, air enters the gas supply flow path of the inert gas supply means each time the inert gas supply means is removed from the beverage server. Even if the valve is built in the connection part between the beverage server and the inert gas supply means to prevent air from entering the supply tube part (corresponding to the supply tube 6 in FIG. 2), the tip part is connected. Therefore, since an open space is formed, it is inevitable that air enters this portion.

このため、再度不活性ガス供給手段を接続してボトル内に不活性ガスを供給する度に、不活性ガス供給手段のガス供給流路の残留空気がボトル内に入ってしまう。ガス供給流路内の残留空気は少量ではあっても、不活性ガス供給手段の脱着を繰り返し、不活性ガスを繰り返し供給すれば、その都度ボトル内に残留空気が入るので、飲料の酸化が進むことになる。   For this reason, every time the inert gas supply means is connected again and the inert gas is supplied into the bottle, residual air in the gas supply flow path of the inert gas supply means enters the bottle. Even if the amount of residual air in the gas supply flow path is small, if the inert gas supply means is repeatedly desorbed and the inert gas is repeatedly supplied, the residual air enters the bottle each time, so the beverage oxidizes. It will be.

これに対し、本実施形態に係る飲料サーバー１は、第１の設定において、ガス供給流路８内の残留空気が排気されているので、不活性ガスを本体１０内に供給する第２の設定時にボトル３内に残留空気が注入されることが防止され、ボトル３内の飲料の酸化を防止することができる。すなわち、少量の残留空気でさえも、ボトル３内に入ることが防止されるので、飲料の酸化防止が確実になり、長期間飲料の品質を維持することができる。   In contrast, in the beverage server 1 according to the present embodiment, since the residual air in the gas supply channel 8 is exhausted in the first setting, the second setting for supplying the inert gas into the main body 10 is performed. Occasionally, residual air is prevented from being injected into the bottle 3 and the beverage in the bottle 3 can be prevented from being oxidized. That is, even a small amount of residual air is prevented from entering the bottle 3, so that the beverage is reliably prevented from being oxidized and the quality of the beverage can be maintained for a long time.

また、本実施形態の切換え手段２０は、簡単な構造で実現できるとともに、第１の設定から第２の設定への切り換えは、切換え手段２０を回転させるだけの簡単な操作で行うことができ、特別な操作は不要となり、操作が容易かつ確実になる。また、切換え手段２０は、第１の設定と第２の設定との切り換えができる構成であればよく、前記第１の実施形態の構成に限るものではない。以下、他の構成の一例として第２の実施形態について説明する。   Further, the switching means 20 of the present embodiment can be realized with a simple structure, and the switching from the first setting to the second setting can be performed by a simple operation by simply rotating the switching means 20, No special operation is required, and the operation is easy and reliable. The switching means 20 may be any configuration that can switch between the first setting and the second setting, and is not limited to the configuration of the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described as an example of another configuration.

図８は、第２の実施形態に係る飲料サーバー１の要部斜視図を示している。図９及び図１０は第２の実施形態に係る飲料サーバーの本体１０部分の縦断面図を示している。図９と図１０は、切換え手段３３の設定が異なっており、図９は不活性ガス供給ボンベ４（図２）からの不活性ガスを排気する第１の設定状態を示し、図１０は不活性ガスをボトル３内に供給する第２の設定状態を示している。図９及び図１０において、図示は適宜省略及び簡略化している。   FIG. 8 shows a perspective view of relevant parts of the beverage server 1 according to the second embodiment. 9 and 10 show longitudinal sectional views of the main body 10 portion of the beverage server according to the second embodiment. 9 and 10 are different in the setting of the switching means 33. FIG. 9 shows a first setting state in which the inert gas from the inert gas supply cylinder 4 (FIG. 2) is exhausted, and FIG. The 2nd setting state which supplies active gas in the bottle 3 is shown. 9 and FIG. 10, illustration is omitted and simplified as appropriate.

図８〜図１０に示した第２の実施形態は、切換え手段３３の構成が第１の実施形態と異なっている。第１の実施形態における切換え手段２０は、回転移動により第１の設定と第２の設定を切り換えるものであるのに対し、第２の実施形態における切換え手段３３は、直線的な移動により第１の設定と第２の設定を切り換えるものである。   The second embodiment shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 differs from the first embodiment in the configuration of the switching means 33. The switching means 20 in the first embodiment switches between the first setting and the second setting by rotational movement, whereas the switching means 33 in the second embodiment has a first movement by linear movement. And the second setting are switched.

図８において、切換え手段３３は凹部１８に配置されている。ボトル３内の飲料を注出するときは、第１の実施形態と同様に、接続管４２に図２に示した不活性ガス供給手段２のコネクタ７を接続する。切換え手段３３は切換えバルブ３４を備えており、突起４０を押すことにより切換えバルブ３４は縦方向に直線的に移動する。   In FIG. 8, the switching means 33 is disposed in the recess 18. When the beverage in the bottle 3 is poured out, the connector 7 of the inert gas supply means 2 shown in FIG. 2 is connected to the connection pipe 42 as in the first embodiment. The switching means 33 includes a switching valve 34. When the projection 40 is pushed, the switching valve 34 moves linearly in the vertical direction.

以下、図９及び図１０を参照しながら、第１の実施形態と異なる部分について説明する。図９及び図１０において、切換えバルブ３４の内部にはバルブ内流路３５が形成され、バルブ内流路３５の一端はガス供給流路８と流通し、他端は排気口３６が形成されている。本体１０には、排気流路３８が形成されており、一端が入口３７で他端が出口３９である。   Hereinafter, the parts different from the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. 9 and 10, an in-valve channel 35 is formed inside the switching valve 34, one end of the in-valve channel 35 is in communication with the gas supply channel 8, and an exhaust port 36 is formed at the other end. Yes. An exhaust passage 38 is formed in the main body 10, one end being an inlet 37 and the other end being an outlet 39.

図９の状態では、切換え手段３３は、排気口３６と入口３７との位置を合わせ、かつ排気口３６と注入口３１との位置をずらした第１の設定状態になっている。この第１の設定では、不活性ガス供給ボンベ４から切換え手段３３へ向けて供給された不活性ガスは、排気流路３８を経て大気中に排気される。このことにより、不活性ガスとあわせてガス供給流路８内の残留空気も排気される。   In the state of FIG. 9, the switching means 33 is in a first setting state in which the positions of the exhaust port 36 and the inlet 37 are aligned and the positions of the exhaust port 36 and the inlet 31 are shifted. In this first setting, the inert gas supplied from the inert gas supply cylinder 4 toward the switching means 33 is exhausted to the atmosphere via the exhaust passage 38. Thereby, the residual air in the gas supply flow path 8 is also exhausted together with the inert gas.

図９において、突起４０を下方に押すことにより、スプリング４１が縮みながら切換えバルブ３４は縦方向に直線的に移動して図１０の第２の設定に切り換わる。図９及び図１０は、切換えバルブ３４のスライド機構の図示は省略している。図１０の状態では、切換えバルブ３４を介してガス供給流路８と本体１０の吐出路２５とが流通し、ボトル３内に不活性ガスが供給される。   In FIG. 9, when the projection 40 is pushed downward, the switching valve 34 linearly moves in the vertical direction while the spring 41 is contracted to switch to the second setting in FIG. 9 and 10, the slide mechanism of the switching valve 34 is not shown. In the state of FIG. 10, the gas supply flow path 8 and the discharge path 25 of the main body 10 circulate through the switching valve 34, and the inert gas is supplied into the bottle 3.

以後の動作は第１の実施形態と同様であるが、第２の実施形態では、図６及び図７に示したプッシュボタン１３を省き、バルブ２８をワンウェイバルブとしている。このことにより、ボトル３内が所定圧になれば、飲料が注出管１２（図８）を経てボトル３内から注出される。第２の実施形態においても第１の実施形態と同様に、簡単な構造で切換え手段３３を実現でき、供給流路８の残留空気がボトル３内に入ることが防止されるとともに、簡単な操作で第１の設定から第２の設定への切り換えを行うことができ、操作が容易かつ確実になる。   The subsequent operation is the same as that of the first embodiment, but in the second embodiment, the push button 13 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is omitted, and the valve 28 is a one-way valve. Thereby, if the inside of the bottle 3 becomes a predetermined pressure, a drink will be poured out from the inside of the bottle 3 through the extraction pipe | tube 12 (FIG. 8). In the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the switching means 33 can be realized with a simple structure, and residual air in the supply flow path 8 can be prevented from entering the bottle 3 and can be easily operated. Thus, switching from the first setting to the second setting can be performed, and the operation becomes easy and reliable.
