【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、飲料冷却供給装置に関し、特に冷却水製造手段と冷却水製造手段により生成された冷却水を用いて樽などの飲料収容容器より取出した飲料を冷却しつつカップあるいはジョッキ等に注出する飲料供給注出部とを別個に備えかつ分離可能な飲料供給冷却装置(サーバ)に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ビール、発砲酒等のアルコール飲料や清涼飲料等を販売するときに用いられるサーバでは、飲料が通過する部分、即ち、樽などの飲料収容容器の取出し口に装着されたディスペンスヘッド、容器より取り出した飲料を飲料冷却部に導入するためのホース、飲料冷却部の飲料冷却管、注出コックを常時清潔に保つ必要があり、このため、これらの部位を適宜、洗浄、殺菌して汚れによる飲料の品質の低下を防止している。従来より、冷却水内を通る飲料冷却管としてはコイル形状のものが使用されている。このコイル状の冷却管は、飲料の冷却面積を省スペースで充分に得ることができる、注出圧力を適正に調整することが可能である、という2点の理由から採用されている。なお、注出圧力の調整について補足すると、飲料の注出には炭酸ガスなどが使用されるが、炭酸ガス含有飲料では含有する炭酸がガス分離を起さないように飲料温度に比例して適正な圧力を付与している。しかしながら、付与された圧力のままで注出を行うと圧力が大きすぎて飲料が発砲してしまうため、コイル形状の飲料通路による流路抵抗により圧力損失を与え、注出圧力を減衰させて調整していることによる。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
コイル形状の冷却通路は上記の理由により利点があるが、この形状に起因する問題がある。即ち、このコイル形状の流路を洗浄する場合、高速で洗浄水を通過させる必要があるが、圧力損失が大きいため、高圧の洗浄水を供給する必要があり、また、操作に熟練を要する。また、スポンジ玉を管内に通過させて汚れを落とすことも行われるが、このスポンジ玉を通す場合にも高圧の流体を供給する必要がある。したがって、洗浄するには高圧流体供給源が必要となり、サーバー利用者である販売店においては負荷の大きい熟練を要する作業である。
【0004】
本発明は上記問題点を解決するためになされたもので、飲料冷却供給装置の飲料冷却部の冷却管を洗浄・殺菌の保守を容易に行うことのできる飲料冷却供給装置を提供するものである。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するため、本発明は飲料冷却供給装置を、冷却水が供給される筐体内に飲料を通す通路を設けた飲料冷却部と、該冷却部の一端に設けられ冷却部とは第1の隔壁により区画された飲料導入室と、該冷却部の他端に設けられ該冷却部とは第2の隔壁により区画された飲料導出室と、前記筐体の一端側に設けられ、冷水製造手段より冷水を前記飲料冷却部に供給するための冷水導入口と、前記筐体の他端側に設けられ、前記飲料冷却部より前記冷水製造手段に戻すための冷水出口と、前記飲料導出室に接続された飲料注出手段とを備え、前記冷却部は、前記第1及び第2の隔壁の間に前記第1の隔壁と前記第2の隔壁を貫通して設けられ、前記飲料導入室と前記飲料導出室とを連通する複数の直管を有し、前記飲料導入室及び飲料導出室を飲料冷却部と分離可能な蓋部材により形成している構成としている。
【0006】
本発明によれば、飲料冷却部の飲料通路をストレートにしているため飲料通路の洗浄がきわめて容易となり、保守に特に熟練を要することもない。
【0007】
本発明の他の特徴は、飲料導入室及び飲料導出室を飲料冷却部と分離可能な蓋部材により形成している。これにより、飲料冷却部の飲料通路の洗浄が容易となる。
【0008】
本発明の他の特徴は、飲料冷却部と注出コックの間に圧力調整手段を設けている。従来のコイル状通路によって達成していた必要とされる圧力損失を、本発明においては、飲料冷却部と飲料注出手段との間に設けた圧力調整手段によって達成し、過剰圧による注出時の不具合を解消している。
【0009】
また、本発明の他の特徴は、前記冷水導入口を前記飲料導出室側の筐体端部側に設け、前記冷水出口を前記飲料導入室側の筐体端部側に設けている。これは、例えば、ビール、発砲酒発酵麦芽飲料のように、注出側での飲料温度を略5℃と低温にしなければならない場合には、飲料導出側に温度の低い冷水を供給する必要があるためである。
【0010】
また、直管を隔壁に貫通して固定するに当たり、貫通孔と直管との間隙から冷水が飲料中に漏出しないように直管を溶接、ろう付け又は接着剤により固定する。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に本発明をより詳細に説明するために実施例を示す。
【0012】
図1は、本発明の実施例に係る飲料冷却供給装置1を示し、ビールを冷却して供給注出するためのものである。飲料冷却供給装置1は、飲料冷却ユニット2と冷水製造ユニット3を別個のユニットとして備えている。
【0013】
飲料冷却ユニット2は一端に導入口21、他端に排出口22を有する冷却室20により構成され、導入口21にはビールの収容するビール樽4のヘッド41に連結されたホース5が接続されている。また、ビール樽4は樽内部を所定の圧力下に保つために炭酸ガスボンベ45にヘッド41に連結されたホース6によって接続されている。
【0014】
冷却室20の一方の端部には第1の隔壁23が、他方の端部には第2の隔壁24が設けられ、これらによって、一方の端部側では導入口21に連なる飲料導入室25が、また、他方の端部側では排出口22に連なる飲料導出室26が形成される。第1隔壁23と第2隔壁24の間には複数の直管27が取り付けられ、これらの直管27により飲料導入室25と飲料導出室26が連通された状態となる。
【0015】
冷却室20には、また、飲料の排出側に冷水の導入口となる冷水導入管28が、また、飲料の導入側に冷水の出口となる冷水排出管29が設けられ、夫々は冷水製造ユニット3とホース7及びホース8によって接続されている。冷却室20の排出口22には注出コック11が取り付けられた管路10が接続されている。尚、管路10には圧力調整手段12が設けられ、排出口22より排出される飲料の圧力を所定圧力に減ずるようにしている。
【0016】
冷水製造ユニット3は水槽31と冷凍器32を有し、水槽31内には冷凍器32に接続される冷媒管33が配され、冷凍器32よって供給される冷媒により水槽31内の冷水33を所定の温度に冷却する。水槽31には、また、モータ34によって駆動されるポンプ35及び攪拌器36が設けられており、水槽内の冷却水33を常時攪拌すると共に、ホース7を介して冷水を飲料冷却ユニット2に供給し、ホース8によって戻すようにして飲料冷却ユニット2と冷水製造ユニット3との間で冷水を循環させるようにしている。なお、ポンプの循環により冷水を充分流動でええきれば、攪拌機36は必ずしも必要としない。また、筐体20aと冷水を冷却室20に導入、排出するためのホース7,8とが図示されていない接続手段により着脱自在になっていれば、筐体20aを冷水製造ユニットから分離することにより冷却室20内の直管27、飲料導出室26、飲料導入室20も飲料供給経路の洗浄がより簡単に行うことができ、且つ、筐体20aを新品あるいは洗浄済のものと交換してサーバーの利用者作業負担を大幅に低減する保守点検のための管理システムの運用に適した構成とすることも可能である。
【0017】
上記構成から成る飲料冷却供給装置1の注出操作を説明する。炭酸ガスボンベ45のコックをあけてビール樽4内を加圧し、この状態でヘッド41のバルブ(図示せず)を開にすることにより、ビール樽4内に収容されているビールはヘッド41からホース5を経由して飲料冷却ユニット2の導入口21より飲料導入室25に導入される。飲料導入室25内に導入されたビールは多数の直管27を通り飲料導出室26に集められる。そして、注出コック11を操作して弁を開とすれば導出室26、排出口22、管路10を経て注出コック11よりジョッキ等の容器に注出することができる。そして、ビールが冷却室20の直管27を通過する過程で冷却室20内に冷水製造ユニット3より直管27の周囲に供給される冷水によって適度の温度(略5℃)に冷却され、冷却されたビールが注出されることとなる。
【0018】
図2は図1の飲料冷却ユニット2の詳細を示す図である。
【0019】
本実施例の冷却ユニット2を構成する冷却室20は円筒状の筐体20aにより形成さる。筐体20aの一端には第1隔壁23が他方の側には第2隔壁24が固定されている。また、筐体20aの両端外周には環状フランジ201,202が固定されている。そして、筐体20aの両端は蓋体211,212が取外し可能に装着される。蓋体211,212は、カップ形状をなしその縁部には、夫々、環状フランジ213,214が形成されており、このフランジ213,214は筐体端部に固定された環状フランジ201,202と嵌合可能とされO−リング215,216を介して筐体端部を封鎖するようにされている。そして、カップ形状をなす蓋体211,212の頂部には飲料の導入口21と排出口22が設けられ、蓋体211,212が装着された状態で第1隔壁23、第2隔壁24との間で飲料導入室25と飲料導出室26が形成される。
【0020】
円筒状筐体20aの第1の隔壁側、即ち、飲料導入室25側の端部には冷水排管29が設けられ、第2の隔壁側、即ち、飲料導出室26側には冷水導入管28が設けられている。これにより、冷水製造装置により供給される温度の低い冷水を飲料の導出側に供給することになり、飲料を効果的に冷却することを可能としている。
【0021】
なお、円筒状筐体20aの胴部の周囲には断熱構造体が取り付けらており、外部からの熱を遮断し、冷却効果を高めている。同様に、カップ状蓋体211,212も断熱構造が採用されている。尚、断熱構造としては内部を真空空間とする2重壁構造、断熱材を充填する構造等種々の構造が採用し得る。
【0022】
図3は筐体20aの両端外周に設けられる環状フランジ201(202)(図3a)と、蓋体211(212)のフランジ213(214)(図3b)を示す。
【0023】
フランジ201には等間隔に立設係合部201aが形成され、他方フランジ213(214)には係合部201aに対応して切欠部213aが形成されている。蓋体211の着脱時にはフランジ213の切欠部213を筐体側のフランジ201の立設係合部201と合致させて挿入し、次いで蓋体211を回動させることにより嵌合係止することができる。これによって、冷却ユニット2を構成する筐体20と両端の蓋体211,212を容易に着脱することが可能となる。
【0024】
図4は、冷却ユニット2の冷却室20を構成する筐体20aに取り付けられた第1及び第2の隔壁23(24)に固定される直管27を示す図である。
【0025】
本実施例においては、直管27の有効長が350mm、内径2mm,外径3mmのステンレススチール(SUS304)の細管が使用され、円形の第1の隔壁23,第2の隔壁24に合計211本が固定される。尚、直管27の隔壁23,24への固定はろう付けにより固定される。これにより、冷水が飲料に漏出することを確実に防止している。
【0026】
本実施例による冷却ユニットによる一作動形態を示すと以下の通りである。
【0027】
直管内流量:50g/sec
直管入口温度:30℃
直管出口温度:5℃
冷水導入温度:1℃
冷水出口温度7℃
直管内圧力損失:94Pa
図5は、図1に示される冷却室20と注出コック11を接続する管路10との間に設けられる圧力調整手段として圧力調整部を注出コックに一体に設けた例を示す図である。
図に示すように、管路10に接続される注出コック50のビール流路経路51内にトービードなる圧力調整部材52が内蔵されており、さらに、トービード52は連結部材53を介して弁体55の一端に形成された弁部54に一体的に連結されている。弁体55の他端は注出ハンドル58に連結されており、注出ハンドル58を図示の矢印(Y)方向に操作することにより、コイルバネ56に抗して連結部材55が図でみて左方向に移動するように構成されている。この弁体55の移動により弁部54はビール流動経路51の開口59の閉鎖を解除し、更にトービード52も弁体55と同方向に移動して、ビール流路通路51の内壁とトービード52との間に隙間が形成される。これにより、上記隙間及び開口59を経て、注出ノズル57にビールが流通する。この時、トービート自体がビールの流通を阻害するため、ビールにかかる圧力が減衰し、適度の圧力に調整されて注出される。なお、ここに示した圧力調整手段を備える注出コック50は図1に示した管路10の途中に設けた圧力調整手段12に替えて使用してもよく、両者を併用してもよい。
【0028】
以上本発明の好ましい実施例について詳述したが、本発明は係る特定の実施形態に限定されるものではなく、特許請求の範囲に記載された本発明の要旨の範囲内において、種々の変形・変更が可能である。例えば、上述の実施例ではビールの冷却供給装置を例に説明したが、飲料としてビールに限ることなく発砲酒や清涼飲料用の飲料冷却供給装置に適用可能であることは明らかである。
【0029】
【発明の効果】
以上詳述したところから明らかなように、
本発明によれば、飲料冷却部の飲料通路をストレートにしているため飲料通路の洗浄がきわめて容易となり、保守に特に熟練を要することもない。また、飲料導入室及び飲料導出室を飲料冷却部と分離可能な蓋部材により形成しているため、飲料冷却部の飲料通路の洗浄が容易となる。
【0030】
さらに、飲料冷却部と注出コックの間に圧力調整手段を設けることにより、従来のコイル状通路によって達成していた必要とされる圧力損失を、飲料冷却部と飲料注出手段との間に設けた圧力調整手段によって達成し、適正な圧力下で注出することができる。
【0031】
また、前記冷水導入口を前記飲料導出室側の筐体端部側に設け、前記冷水出口を前記飲料導入室側の筐体端部側に設ける構成としているため、飲料導出側に温度の低い冷水を供給することができ、効果的に飲料を冷却することができる。
【0032】
また、直管を隔壁に貫通して固定するに当たり、直管をろう付け又は接着剤により固定するようにしているため、貫通孔と直管との間隙から冷水が飲料中に漏出しないようにすることができる。

This coiled cooling pipe is employed for two reasons that the cooling area of the beverage can be sufficiently obtained in a small space and that the pouring pressure can be adjusted appropriately. In addition, supplementing the adjustment of the pouring pressure, carbon dioxide is used to pour out beverages, but in carbon dioxide containing beverages, the carbon dioxide contained is appropriate in proportion to the beverage temperature so as not to cause gas separation. Pressure is applied. However, if the dispensing is carried out with the applied pressure, the beverage will fire due to the pressure being too high. Therefore, pressure loss is caused by the flow resistance due to the coil-shaped beverage passage, and the dispensing pressure is attenuated and adjusted. It depends on what you are doing.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Although the coil-shaped cooling passage is advantageous for the above reasons, there is a problem due to this shape. That is, when washing this coil-shaped flow path, it is necessary to allow the washing water to pass through at a high speed. However, since the pressure loss is large, it is necessary to supply high-pressure washing water and the operation requires skill. In addition, a sponge ball is allowed to pass through the pipe to remove dirt, but it is also necessary to supply a high-pressure fluid when passing through the sponge ball. Accordingly, a high-pressure fluid supply source is required for cleaning, and this is a work that requires a great load of skill at a store as a server user.
[0004]
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and provides a beverage cooling and supplying apparatus that can easily perform maintenance of cleaning and sterilization of the cooling pipe of the beverage cooling section of the beverage cooling and supplying apparatus. .
