Description

생맥주 공급시스템에 구비되는 생맥주 터짐 방지장치Draft beer burst prevention device provided in draft beer supply system
본 발명은 생맥주 공급시스템에 구비되는 생맥주 터짐 방지장치에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 생맥주의 거품발생으로 인한 터짐 현상 발생여부를 안정적이면서도 보다 신속히 판단하여 경고신호를 출력하여 주는 생맥주 터짐 방지장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a draft beer burst prevention device provided in the draft beer supply system, and more particularly to a draft beer burst prevention device that outputs a warning signal stably and more quickly determine whether the burst phenomenon caused by the foaming of draft beer will be.
일반적으로, 생맥주는 맥아즙을 발효, 숙성시켜 여과만 하고, 가열 살균과정을 거치지 않은 맥주를 말하며, 이러한 생맥주는 생맥주 공급시스템을 통해 제공된다.In general, draft beer refers to beer that fermented and matured wort only to be filtered and not subjected to heat sterilization. Such draft beer is provided through a draft beer supply system.
맥주 공급시스템은 도 1에서 보는 바와 같이, 내부에 압축가스가 충진되어 있는 압축가스용기(9)와 생맥주가 내부에 저장되는 맥주저장용기(10)와 상기 압축가스용기(9)와 상기 맥주저장용기(10)의 각각 양단부가 연결되는 관상의 연결관 또는 연결 호스 등을 포함하여 이루어지는 가스공급라인(11)과 상기 가스공급라인(11)을 통해 상기 맥주저장용기(10)내로 공급되는 압축가스에 의해 상기 맥주저장용기(10)으로부터 유출된 생맥주를 냉각시키는 냉각기(20)와, 상기 맥주저장용기(10)와 상기 냉각기(20)의 각각 양단부가 연결되어 상기 맥주저장용기(10)에서 유출되는 생맥주를 상기 냉각기(20)로 공급하는 관상의 연결관 또는 연결호스 등을 포함하여 이루어지는 맥주공급라인(30)과, 상기 냉각기(20)에 의해 냉각된 생맥주를 공급받아 배출하는 맥주공급장치(40)와 상기 맥주공급장치(40)와 상기 냉각기(20)에 양단부가 각각 연결되어 상기 냉각기에 의해 냉각된 생맥주를 상기 맥주 공급장치로 안내하는 2차 맥주공급라인(30')으로 구성된다.As shown in FIG. 1, the beer supply system includes a compressed gas container 9 in which a compressed gas is filled and a beer storage container 10 in which draft beer is stored, and the compressed gas container 9 and the beer storage. Compressed gas supplied into the beer storage container 10 through a gas supply line 11 and the gas supply line 11 including a tubular connection pipe or a connection hose connected to both ends of the container 10. Coolers 20 for cooling the draft beer flowing out of the beer storage container 10 by the two ends of the beer storage container 10 and the cooler 20 are connected to the beer storage container 10 and flow out from the beer storage container 10. Beer supply line 30 including a tubular connection pipe or a connection hose for supplying the draft beer to the cooler 20 and the beer supply device for receiving and draining draft beer cooled by the cooler 20 ( 40) The both ends of which are respectively connected to the beer supply apparatus 40 and the cooler 20 is composed of the second beer supply line (30 ') for guiding the cooled beer into the beer supply by the cooler.
예시적으로 상기 생맥주 공급시스템의 작동을 살펴보면, 사용자가 상기 맥주공급장치(40)의 코크부(42)를 개방한 상태에서 최종 밸브(41)를 개방하면 상기 압축가스용기(9)의 내부에 충진된 압축가스가 상기 가스공급라인(11)을 통해 상기 맥주저장용기(10)로 주입된다.For example, when the operation of the draft beer supply system is performed, when the user opens the final valve 41 in the state in which the coke portion 42 of the beer supply device 40 is opened, the compressed gas container 9 is disposed inside the compressed gas container 9. Filled compressed gas is injected into the beer storage container (10) through the gas supply line (11).
이에 따라 주입된 압축가스의 압력에 의해 상기 맥주저장용기(10)내의 생맥주는 상기 맥주공급라인(30,30')을 통해 최종 밸브(41)의 코크로 인출되어 소비자에게 제공되며, 이때 상기 맥주공급라인(30, 30')을 통해 공급되는 맥주는 상기 냉각기(20)에 의해 냉각된다.Accordingly, the draft beer in the beer storage container 10 is drawn out to the coke of the final valve 41 through the beer supply lines 30 and 30 'by the pressure of the injected compressed gas, and is provided to the consumer. Beer supplied through supply lines 30 and 30 'is cooled by the cooler 20.
한편, 용액형태의 생맥주가 거의 배출된 후, 생맥주 저장용기내에 잔존하는 생맥주가 일정량이상 남아있지 않게 되는 경우에, 충진된 압축가스의 압력에 의해 압축가스에 의한 공기 또는 상기 공기와 생맥주의 혼합물이 함께 코크를 통해 급격히 배출되면서 거품화되어 비산됨으로써 생맥주의 낭비와 함께 주변이 지저분해진다. On the other hand, when the draft beer in solution form is almost discharged, and the draft beer remaining in the draft beer storage container does not remain above a certain amount, the air by the compressed gas or the mixture of the air and the draft beer is reduced by the pressure of the packed compressed gas. Together with the rapid discharge through the coke, it foams and scatters, leaving the surroundings dirty with the draft beer.
이러한 거품 터짐 현상을 방지하려면, 생맥주가 거의 소진되어 생맥주통을 교체할 시기쯤, 통상 하부에 분리되어진 공급라인(30)에 생맥주가 완전 소진시 생성되는 거품이 발생하는지를 항상 주의깊게 관찰하고 발생시 맥주의 공급량을 조절하여 급격히 분출되는 가스이 양을 최소화 해야하는 번거러움이 있다. In order to prevent such a bubble burst phenomenon, by the time the draft beer is almost exhausted to replace the draft beer barrel, always observe carefully whether the bubbles generated when the draft beer is completely exhausted in the supply line 30 is separated in the lower portion and beer There is a hassle to minimize the amount of rapidly ejected gas by adjusting the amount of gas supplied.
또한, 상기 생맥주 교체시기를 인지하지 못했을 경우, 최종 밸브(41)를 통해 방출된 생맥주거품이 비산하면서 주변을 오염시키는 것은 물론, 이로 인한 서비스 시간의 지연으로 말미암아 시간적, 경제적, 인적 손실이 발생하는 문제점이 있다.In addition, when the draft beer replacement time is not recognized, the draft beer bubbles released through the final valve 41 scatters and pollutes the surroundings, resulting in time, economic and human loss caused by the delay in service time. There is a problem.
이를 해결하기 위하여 생맥주 터짐 감지와 관련된 종래기술로서, 온도센서, 광센서 등을 이용한 방법 등이 알려져 있다.In order to solve this problem, a method using a temperature sensor, an optical sensor, or the like is known as a related art related to draft beer burst detection.
보다 구체적으로, 상기 생맥주 공급시스템에 구비되는 생맥주 터짐 방지 장치와 관련된 종래기술로서, 등록특허공보 제10-1224314호(2013.01.14.)에서는는 냉각기와 맥주 공급 장치 사이에 온도 감지센서가 장착되어 있는 생맥주 공급 시스템에 구비되는 생맥주 터짐 알림 장치에 관한 기술에 관해 기재되어 있으나, 이 경우, 여름과 겨울의 실내 온도변화는 물론 맥주 자체의 온도변화에 따른 온도측정의 부정확성으로 인한 동작 오류가 발생할 여지가 많으며, 검출되는 대상의 온도차이를 크게 하기 위해 생맥주가 냉각기를 통과한 후 온도를 감지하여야 하기 때문에 일단 생맥주의 터짐 발생시 대처할 수 있는 시간적 여유가 짧은 단점이 있다.More specifically, as a related art related to the draft beer preventing device provided in the draft beer supply system, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1224314 (2013.01.14.) Is provided with a temperature sensor between the cooler and the beer supply device Although the technology related to the draft beer notification device provided in the draft beer supply system has been described, in this case, there is a possibility that an operation error may occur due to an inaccuracy of temperature measurement due to a temperature change of the beer itself as well as a change in the room temperature in summer and winter. In order to increase the temperature difference between the objects to be detected, since the draft beer must sense the temperature after passing through the cooler, there is a short time to cope with the occurrence of the popping of the draft beer.

예컨대, 상기 밀도측정부(60)와 제어부(70)를 하나의 모듈내에 구비하고 경고신호출력부(80)는 별도로 사용자와 근접한 위치인, 맥주공급장치(40)를 지지하는 탁자에 설치하여 동작인지도를 높일 수 있고, 또한 설치가 용이할 수 있다. For example, the density measuring unit 60 and the control unit 70 is provided in one module, and the warning signal output unit 80 is installed on a table for supporting the beer supply device 40, which is a position adjacent to the user separately. Awareness can be raised and installation can be facilitated.
이 경우 밀도측정부(60)와 제어부(70)를 포함하는 모듈과 경고신호출력부(80)사이에는 블루투스 기술을 이용하여 무선으로 정보를 주고받게 할 수 있고, 상기 모듈 및 경고신호출력부(80)의 각각의 장치는 교류전원이 아닌 1차전지, 또는 2차전지를 사용하여 별도의 교류전원이 필요하지 않도록 하여 감전의 위험 및 배선의 거추장스러움을 피할 수 있다. In this case, between the module including the density measuring unit 60 and the control unit 70 and the warning signal output unit 80 can exchange information wirelessly using Bluetooth technology, the module and the warning signal output unit ( Each device of 80) uses a primary battery or a secondary battery, not an AC power source, so that a separate AC power source is not required, thereby avoiding a risk of electric shock and cumbersome wiring.
또한 경고신호출력부는 필요시 블루투스에 의한 다중접속에 의한 수신이 가능토록 함으로써 하나의 경고신호출력부 장치로 복수 개의 모듈을 감당하도록 해서 대형매장과 같은 복수의 맥주공급장치를 사용하는 경우에도 간편하게 하나의 경고신호출력부를 사용할 수 있도록 한다.

여기서 상기 밀도측정부(60), 제어부(70) 및 경고신호출력부(80) 중 적어도 2개 이상은 하나의 모듈내에 구비되는 경우에 상기 모듈은 맥주 공급라인(30, 30')에 탈부착 할 수 있도록 연결될 수 있다. Here, when at least two or more of the density measuring unit 60, the control unit 70 and the warning signal output unit 80 are provided in one module, the module may be detachable from the beer supply lines 30 and 30 '. Can be connected.
또한 본 발명에서 상기 밀도 측정부(60)는 맥주저장통(10)과 냉각기(20) 사이를 각각 연결하는 1차 맥주 공급라인(30)에 구비될 수 있다. 이 경우에 상기 밀도 측정부(60)와 맥주공급장치(40)의 거리가 멀게 되어, 맥주가 터지게 되더라도 상기 맥주공급장치의 외부로 거품이 배출되기까지는 시간적으로 지연이 될 수 있어 유리한 장점이 있다. In addition, in the present invention, the density measuring unit 60 may be provided in the primary beer supply line 30 respectively connecting between the beer reservoir 10 and the cooler 20. In this case, the distance between the density measuring unit 60 and the beer supply device 40 is far, and even if the beer bursts, there may be a time delay until the bubbles are discharged to the outside of the beer supply device, which is advantageous. .
또한 본 발명에서 상기 밀도 측정부는 상기 냉각기(20) 내부에 구비되는 맥주 공급라인(30, 30')에 위치할 수 있다. In addition, the density measuring unit in the present invention may be located in the beer supply line (30, 30 ') provided in the cooler (20).
한편, 본 발명에서 상기 제어부(70)의 기능은 도 3을 통해 보다 상세히 설명할 수 있다. On the other hand, the function of the controller 70 in the present invention can be described in more detail with reference to FIG.
도 3은 제어부(70)의 제어상태를 개략적으로 나타내는 블록도로서, 본 발명에서 제어부는 비교기를 포함하여 구성이 되어 있으며, 상기 비교기에는 센서부에서 측정된 밀도 측정값(전압값 또는 전류값)과 미리 설정된 밀도값(전압값 또는 전류값)을 비교하고 상기 비교된 값은 맥주공급라인에 맥주의 유무를 판단하는 자료로 사용된다. 3 is a block diagram schematically illustrating a control state of the control unit 70. In the present invention, the control unit includes a comparator, and the comparator includes a density measurement value (voltage value or current value) measured by the sensor unit. And a preset density value (voltage value or current value) and the compared value is used as data for determining the presence or absence of beer in the beer supply line.
예컨대, 상기 비교기에서는 각각의 맥주, 거품, 가스의 밀도범위가 설정된 레퍼런스값이 미리 입력되어 있고, 상기 비교기에 미리 입력된 수치와 센서부에서 전달된 값을 비교하여 설정된 값의 오차 범위에 들면 low 신호를 발생시킨다. low 신호가 유지되는 경우에는 정상적 운전범위로 인정되어 맥주가 정상적으로 유입되도록 특별한 조치를 취하지 않음으로써, 맥주는 맥주공급라인으로 원활하게 이동을 하게 되고 이동된 맥주는 맥주공급장치를 통하여 소비자에게 전달될 수 있다.For example, in the comparator, a reference value in which the density ranges of the respective beer, foam, and gas are set is input in advance, and the value input by comparing the value previously input to the comparator with the value transmitted from the sensor unit is low and falls into an error range of the set value. Generate a signal. If the low signal is maintained, it is regarded as a normal operating range and no special measures are taken to allow beer to flow normally, so that the beer moves smoothly to the beer supply line and the beer is transferred to the consumer through the beer supply. Can be.
한편, 맥주가 소진되어 공기, 또는 공기와 맥주의 혼합상태로 기포가 유입되어 맥주공급라인의 상태가 변화하는 경우에는 상기 제어부는 상기 밀도 측정부(60)으로 입력된 값과 내부적으로 미리 설정된 레퍼런스값을 상호 비교하여 설정된 값의 오차범위를 벗어나게 되면 high 신호를 발생하며, high 신호로 인하여 제어부(70)는 우선적으로 경고신호출력부(80)에 경고신호를 전달하도록 신호를 출력한다. On the other hand, when the beer is exhausted and bubbles are introduced into the air, or a mixture of air and beer, and the state of the beer supply line changes, the control unit inputs the value input to the density measuring unit 60 and the internally preset reference. When a value is out of the error range of the set value by comparing with each other, a high signal is generated. Due to the high signal, the controller 70 preferentially outputs a signal to transmit a warning signal to the warning signal output unit 80.

That is, in order to control the repetitive detection operation by comparing the density data of the fluid moving in the beer supply line with a previously input value in the density measuring unit, when the foam state in the beer supply line is first detected while maintaining a low signal. In order to stably output the high state using an RS flip-flop circuit, the high signal output by the comparator between the input value from the density measuring unit due to the bubble state and the previously input value is maintained. A reset operation function can be added for this release.
