- Figure 7 shows an evaporator to maintain the three drums 1 1 at the same temperature and thus keep the drums 1 1 to the correct temperature setpoint.
- the cooling means is used to cool the barrels.
- cooling means of the liquid distribution column there is a cooling means of the liquid distribution column, a cooling means of the liquid drawing circuit and a cooling means of the drum or drums.
- the recognition means is an RFID card reader (acronym for Radio Frequency Identification for radio-identification).
- the RFID card reader is a reading method for remotely storing and retrieving data using markers known as "radio tags”.
- the recognition means is an NFC card reader (acronym for near field) communication for near-field communication.
- An NFC card reader is a short-range and high-frequency wireless communication technology, allowing the exchange of information between devices.
- the device includes an NFC card reader. This reading allows you to write and read information about a customer. These data are stored on the database. The account of a customer allows from the display means to allow the consumption of liquid.
- the NFC card is in the form of a bracelet or a badge.
- the steering system described above writes on a bracelet the account balance available.
- the owner of the bracelet questions the means of interaction of the device, the owner of the bracelet accesses the reading from his account and uses his balance.
- the device allows the owner of the bracelet to use according to a volume of liquid.
- the drums 1 1 integrated in the device contain between 20 and 30 liters. Thus, their handling is easy compared with 1 1 drums of 50 to 60 liters.
- the device is personalized in the colors of the sponsors.
- Figure 8 shows the method of dispensing a liquid.
- the step 33 relates to the connection of a barrel 1 1 to the device comprising a cooling means of the barrel 1 1 having a cooling circuit 23 hermetically sealed of a draw circuit 24 of barrel 1 1.
- the draw circuit 24 of barrel 1 1 extending from one end connected to a barrel 1 1 and another end to a valve 15 for dispensing liquid, said barrel 1 1 comprising a shell and a pocket containing a liquid .
- the connection of the drum 1 1 to the device causes the identification of the drum 1 1 by the management system 14. This identification gives the information necessary for the conservation and distribution of the barrel 1 1 (storage temperature and distribution).
- Step 34 concerns the interrogation of a database of a customer account containing the information of the balance of the customer account.
- Step 35 relates to controlling the opening of a liquid dispensing tap 15 according to a predetermined limit value of the balance information, said opening command of the liquid dispensing tap 15 causes an insufflation of a gas between the shell of the barrel 1 1 and the flexible wall of the barrel 1 1.
- FIG. 9 represents a communication diagram between the interaction means 1 6 of the device and a control system 36 and the database 37.
- the control system is a tablet providing various services such as the monitoring of the flow of drinks, the recording of receivables.
- the arrows represent the exchanges of information between the interaction means 1 6 of the device and control system 36 and the database 37.
- FIG. 10 represents a communication diagram between two means of interaction 16 of two devices and a control system 36 and the database 37. According to this variant, it has two devices for distribution of liquids which constantly interact with a digital tablet (control system 37) and a database 36. In the same way, the arrows represent information exchanges between the interaction means 1 6 of the device and the control system. pilot 36 and the database 37.
- the driving system is a digital tablet to track multiple tables.
