Definitions
- the subject of the present invention is an automatic drinks vending machine.
- a conventional automatic drinks vending machine comprises a refrigerating cabinet inside which there are compartments in which packaged drinks and mineral waters of various types are stacked in an orderly manner, each type in a respective compartment.
- a dispensing mechanism discharges the drink or mineral water selected by the user by means of a suitable push-button after payment of a predetermined charge.
- the drinks supplied are normally packaged in cans or in bottles. There are carousel dispensers in which drinks packaged in cartons can also be loaded. Mineral water is normally packaged in bottles.
- the drinks and mineral waters have to be packaged at suitable production sites from which they are transported to intermediate storage sites and, finally, they are transported to the sites at which the automatic vending machines are located.
- the packaged drinks and mineral waters take up a considerable amount of space and, if there are many users of the vending machine, the operator has to reload the machine frequently.
- the object of the present invention is to prevent the aforementioned problems.
- an automatic drinks vending machine comprising:
- the automatic drinks vending machine generally indicated 10 in Figure 1, comprises a cabinet 11 housing the components of the vending machine.
- a connector 12 for connection to a continuous water supply such as, for example, the water mains.
- a pipe 13 extends from the connector 12 and is connected to the inlet of a first, coarse-filtration filter 14, for example, a metal mesh filter the outlet of which is connected to the intake of a pump 16 by means of a pipe 15.
- the output of the pump 16 is connected by means of a pipe 17 to the inlet of a further, fine-filtration filter 18 which may be a reverse osmosis filter, an activated-carbon filter, or the like, according to the type of water to be treated.
- the outlet of the filter 18 is connected to the inlet of an ultraviolet sterilizer 20 by means of a pipe 19.
- the outlet of the sterilizer 20 is connected to a storage device 22 by means of a pipe 21.
- This device 22 is shown in detail in Figure 2. It comprises two separate cylindrical tanks 23 and 24 arranged coaxially and surrounded by a thermally-insulating casing 25 in which a coil 26 surrounding the two tanks 23 and 24 is incorporated. A coolant liquid flowing in the coil 26 is provided by a refrigeration circuit, of which the compressor 27 and two pipes 28 and 29 connecting the compressor to the inlet end and to the outlet end of the coil 26, respectively, are shown.
- the pipe 21 coming from the sterilizer 20 is connected to an inlet of the tank 23.
- An outlet of the tank 23 is connected by means of a pipe 30 to a T-shaped connector 31 from which a pipe 32 and a pipe 33 extend.
- the pipe 32 is connected to the intake of a pump 34 the output of which is connected to an inlet of the tank 24 by means of a pipe 35, a non-return valve 36 and a pipe 37.
- Another inlet of the tank 24 is connected to a cylinder, indicated 38, containing carbon dioxide; the cylinder 38 is connected to a manometer 39 and also to a pressure switch 40 connected to the tank 24 by means of a pipe 41, a non-return valve 42 and a pipe 43.
- the device 22 is completed by a temperature sensor 44 fitted in the tank 23 and two level sensors, indicated 45.1 and 45.2, respectively, fitted in the tank 24 for detecting minimum and maximum levels:
- the outlet of the tank 23 of the device 22 is connected to one end of a manifold pipe 48 by means of the pipe 33, an on/off solenoid valve 46, and a pipe 47.
- An outlet of the tank 24 of the device 22 is also connected to the aforesaid end of the manifold pipe 48 by means of a pipe 49, an on/off solenoid valve 50, and a pipe 51.
- a series of bottles 52 each containing a respective liquid substance to be combined with the water to produce a particular drink is also connected to this manifold pipe 48.
- the bottles 52 are mounted on a support structure 53 above the manifold pipe 48 with their mouths facing downwardly.
- Each bottle 52 is connected to the manifold pipe 48 by means of a respective pipe 54 extending from the mouth of the bottle, a respective on/off solenoid valve 55, and a respective pipe 56 which is connected to the manifold pipe at a point between the two end portions of the manifold.
- the base of each bottle 52 has a transponder 57; above the bottles 52 there is a bracket 58 which includes a series of antennas 59 each mounted in the vicinity of a respective transponder 57.
- the support structure 53 comprises a lower horizontal shelf 60, an upper horizontal shelf 61, and a vertical rear wall 62 which connects the two above-mentioned shelves.
- a hole 63 with a diameter slightly larger than the neck of a bottle is formed in the lower shelf 60, and a hole 64 with a diameter slightly larger than the body of the bottle is correspondingly formed in the upper shelf 61; the bottle is housed in the two holes 63 and 64 with the neck of the bottle extending through the hole 63, the shoulders of the bottle bearing against the portion of the shelf 60 around the hole 63, and the body of the bottle fitted in the hole 64.
- Passageways extend from the holes 63 and 64 and open outwardly in the front edges of the surfaces 60 and 61.
- the support structure 53 is hinged on two shoulders 67 so that it can pivot about an axis X between the operative position described and a forwardly inclined position.
- a nut-and-bolt coupling 68 provided on each shoulder 67 connects the shoulder to the support structure and slides in a slot 69 so that the support structure 53 can be locked in the operative position or released in order to be inclined forwardly.
- Each pipe 54 is connected to the respective bottle 52 by means of a needle 70 inserted in a membrane 71 closing the bottle; the pipe 54 is connected to the respective solenoid valve 55 by means of a quick coupling, not shown.
- the bracket 58 is constituted by an upper plate 72 of insulating material and by a lower base 73 of plastics material.
- the antennas 59 are fixed to the lower face of the plate 72 and the connections to the antennas 59, all of which are united in a single connector element 74 at the side of the bracket, are applied to the lower face of the plate 72 by the printed-circuit technique.
- the base 73 has a series of through-holes 75 each of which houses a respective antenna 59.
- a pipe 76 extends from the opposite end of the manifold pipe 48 to the end to which the pipes 47 and 51 are connected and terminates in a compartment 77 into which cups are supplied one at a time, in known manner.
- the cup supplied, indicated A, is disposed adjacent the outlet of the pipe 76.
- the vending machine 10 has a control unit 78 connected to the pumps 16 and 34, to the filter 18, to the sterilizer 20, to the compressor 27, to the sensors 44, 45.1 and 45.2, to the solenoid valves 46, 50 and 55, and to the antennas 59, by means of the connector element 74.
- a temperature sensor 79 located in the lower portion of the vending machine and connected to the control unit 78 for detecting the temperature outside the vending machine.
- the unit 78 thus controls the operation of the vending machine 10.
- the unit 78 is also connected to a series of control push-buttons 80 disposed on the outside of the cabinet 11.
- the automatic vending machine 10 described operates as follows.
- the tank 23 is full of water and the tank 24 is full of carbonated water.
- the control unit 78 operates the pump 16 which draws mains water through the connector 12 and sends it to the tank 23 of the device 22 through the pipes 13, 15, 17, 19, and 21; during this operation, the water passes through the filters 14, 18 and through the sterilizer 20 so as to be filtered and sterilized. The water thus purified accumulates in the tank 23.
- the control unit 78 also operates the pump 34 which draws purified water from the tank 23 and admits it to the tank 24 through the pipes 32, 35 and 37; carbon dioxide flows from the cylinder 38 to the tank 24 so that carbonated water is formed in the tank 24.
- the non-return valve 36 prevents carbonated water from flowing back from the tank 24 to the tank 23 and the non-return valve 42 prevents carbon dioxide from flowing back from the tank 24 to the cylinder 38.
- the compressor 27 is also activated so as to activate the refrigeration circuit and to cause coolant liquid to flow in the coil 26, cooling the tanks 23 and 24.
- the control unit 78 keeps the tanks 23 and 24, and hence the water, at a predetermined temperature dependent on the outside temperature, by means of the temperature sensors 44 and 79, and maintains a predetermined level of water in the two interconnected tanks, by means of the level sensors 45.1 and 45.2.
- the charge state of the cylinder 38 can be monitored by means of the manometer 39.
- the pressure switch 40 maintains a predetermined carbon-dioxide pressure in the tank 24.
- the control unit 78 opens the solenoid valve 46, if a non-carbonated drink is required, or the solenoid valve 50, if a carbonated drink is required, until a predetermined quantity of water has passed, and also opens, for a predetermined time, the solenoid valve 55 connected to to the bottle 52 which contains the liquid substance to be combined with the water to produce the selected drink.
- the solenoid valve 55 is closed before the solenoid valve 46 or the solenoid valve 50 is opened.
- the water which flows into the manifold pipe 48 thus also rises into the pipe 56 taking with it the residual liquid substance contained therein and thus washing the pipe; the water cannot at the same time rise towards the bottle 52 through the pipe 54 since the solenoid valve 55 is closed.
- the pipe 56 which in this case is indicated 56.1, may be connected so as to be inclined in the direction of the water-flow, relative to the axis of the manifold pipe 48; a vacuum is thus created in the pipe 56.1 enabling all of the liquid substance contained in this pipe 56.1 to be drawn in, so as to clean it.
- the liquid substances contained in the bottles 52 may be aromatic essences, mineral salts dissolved in water, tonics, etc.
- the vending machine can also supply solely non-carbonated or carbonated water by the opening of the solenoid valve 46 or the solenoid valve 50 with the solenoid valves 55 kept closed.
- the automatic vending machine 10 described and illustrated solves all of the problems of the known vending machines described in the introduction.
- the drink or mineral water obtained from the vending machine 10 is fresh since it is produced on the spot. If mineral salts are added, the water has the characteristics of artificial mineral water.
- vending machine 10 has further advantages.
- the bottles 52 are easy to replace. With reference to Figure 4, for this operation, it is necessary to loosen the couplings 68, to incline the support structure 53 forwards, to extract the bottles 52 from the holes 63 and 64 by removing the pipes 54 through the passageways 65 and 66, to disconnect the pipes 54 from the bottles and then to proceed in reverse in order to load the new bottles.
- the connection of the pipe 54 to the bottle 52 by means of the needle 70 which perforates the membrane 71 makes the operation even easier.
- the pipe 54 can be replaced upon each loading operation.
- the control unit 78 converses with the transponder 57 of each bottle 52, sending interrogation signals to the transponder and receiving response signals therefrom by means of the antenna 59. This provides various useful items of data regarding the bottle. First of all, the control unit 78 recognizes, by checking a suitable code contained in the transponder, if it is an original bottle and if not, for example, locks the vending machine. Moreover, the control unit 78 picks up data relating to the type of liquid substance contained in the bottle in order to supply it when requested, data relating to the capacity of the bottle in order to indicate when the bottle is empty on the basis of consumption, data relating to the use-by date, in order to indicate that the bottle should be replaced, etc.
- the water may be purified by other devices arranged differently from those illustrated.
- the storage device may also be constructed differently from that shown. Amongst other things, two separate storage tanks may be considered, instead of a single device. The system for adding carbon dioxide to the water may differ from that shown.
- the structure for supporting the bottles may also vary both structurally and functionally, provided that it permits convenient loading of the bottles.
- Another type of container with a quick coupling may be used instead of the bottles with quick coupling of the pipe by means of a needle.
- Water may also be drawn from other external supplies such as large tanks, wells, etc., instead of from the water mains.
