In this state, when the operation lever 22 of the pouring cock 20 is tilted forward by the cock driving device 24 to open the valve mechanism 21a for liquid, the beer is in the liquid state from the liquid pouring nozzle 23b to the glass G. Be poured out. Beer rotates along the inner wall surface of the glass G and flows down to the bottom of the glass G, and foaming in the glass G is suppressed.

  When about 70% of the liquid beer is poured into the glass G, the cock drive device 24 returns the operation lever 22 from the forward tilted position to the neutral position, thereby closing the valve mechanism 21a and pouring the liquid. The dispensing from the dispensing nozzle 23b is stopped. In addition, the first tilting substrate 32 tilted by the cradle tilting device 40 is returned to the standing posture standing substantially vertically. When the lower end portion of the first tilting substrate 32 is pushed forward and returns to the standing posture in which the first tilting substrate 32 stands up substantially vertically, the second tilting substrate 34 stands vertically from the state in which the lower end portion is pulled by the link member 37. Returning to the standing posture, the glass G placed on the cradle 36 returns to the standing posture from the posture inclined forward and backward and left and right. Then, when the operation lever 22 is tilted backward by the cock driving device 24 and the valve mechanism 21a is opened for foaming, foamy beer is poured out from the foaming nozzle 23a, and the liquid state is about 70%. About 20% of the beer in the foam state is additionally poured into the glass G from which the beer has been poured out. When about 20% of the beer in the foam state is poured out, the cock driving device 24 returns the operation lever 22 to the neutral position, closes the valve mechanism 21a, and stops the pouring from the foam dispensing nozzle 23a.

In the sparkling beverage automatic dispensing device 10 configured as described above, when the tilted substrate 31 is tilted in the front-rear direction (one side) by pushing up the lower end portion of the tilted substrate 31 forward, the lower end portion of the tilted substrate 31. Is pushed leftward to tilt the tilting substrate 31 in the left-right direction as a direction (orthogonal direction) orthogonal to the front-rear direction (one), and the glass G is moved back and forth (one) and left-right direction (orthogonal orthogonal to one). The beer was automatically poured out from the dispensing nozzle 23b in a state inclined in the direction). Specifically, the tilting substrate 31 includes a first tilting substrate 32 that is pivotally supported on the front surface of the apparatus main body 11 so as to be tiltable in the front-rear direction around a horizontal axis, and an upper portion of the first tilting substrate 32. It comprises a second tilting substrate 34 that is pivotally supported in an orthogonal direction so as to be tiltable about an axis and is provided with a receiving base 36 on the front surface thereof. The lower end portion of the second tilting substrate 34 is a container on the front surface of the apparatus main body 11. They are connected by a link member 37 having a predetermined length provided on the left side of the receiving device 30. When the lower end portion of the first tilt substrate 32 is pushed forward, the lower end portion of the second tilt substrate 34 is similarly pushed forward, but the lower end portion of the second tilt substrate 34 is pulled by the link member 37 having a predetermined length. It will be pushed up to the left. The glass G placed on the cradle 36 is tilted back and forth and left and right in the same manner as the second tilting substrate 34, and the glass G placed on the cradle 36 has a lower height from the top to the bottom when pouring beer. It was possible to further suppress the beer poured out from the pouring nozzle 23b from foaming in the glass G. Moreover, since the beer poured out from the pouring nozzle 23b flows down along the inner peripheral surface of the glass G, it was possible to further suppress the beer from foaming in the glass G.
(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the sparkling beverage automatic dispensing device will be described. The sparkling beverage automatic dispensing device 10 of the second embodiment is obtained by replacing the container receiving device 30 of the sparkling beverage automatic dispensing device 10 of the first embodiment with a container receiving device 30A. The apparatus 30A will be described focusing on differences from the container receiving apparatus 30 of the first embodiment.

And a second tilting substrate 34A that is pivotally supported.

  A support bracket 14A having a pair of left and right arm portions 14Aa and 14Ab protruding forward is provided on the upper front surface of the apparatus main body 11. The arm portions 14Aa and 14Ab of the support bracket 14A support the first tilting board 32A. The first support shafts 33A and 33A are fixed. Locking arm portions 32Aa and 32Aa for locking the first support shafts 33A and 33A are provided on the left and right sides on the rear surface of the upper end portion of the first tilting substrate 32A. The first tilting substrate 32A is provided with the locking arm portion 32Aa. , 32Aa are supported by the first support shafts 33A, 33A and supported so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis in the left-right direction. The first support shaft 33A on the right side extends to the center in the left-right direction of the first tilting substrate 32A, and a bevel gear 37Aa constituting a gear mechanism 37A described later is attached to the tip of the first support shaft 33A. .

  A second tilting substrate 34A is provided in parallel on the front side of the first tilting substrate 32A. A second support shaft 35A that protrudes rearward in a direction orthogonal to the upper end of the second tilt substrate 34A is fixed, and the second support shaft 35A is provided at the upper end of the first tilt substrate 32A. The first tilting substrate 32A is rotatably supported by the first bearing portion. The second support shaft 35A passes through the first tilting substrate 32A, and a bevel gear 37Ab is attached to the tip of the second support shaft 35A on the rear side of the first tilting substrate 32A. The bevel gear 37Ab meshes with the bevel gear 37Aa at the tip of the first support shaft 33A on the rear side of the first tilting board 32A, and the bevel gears 37Aa and 37Ab constitute a gear mechanism 37A. The gear mechanism 37A converts the relative rotation of the first tilting substrate 32A with respect to the first support shaft 33A into the rotation of the second support shaft 35A. When the lower end portion of the first tilting substrate 32A tilts forward and the first tilting substrate 32A rotates around the first support shafts 33A and 33A, the second support shaft 35A rotates clockwise by the gear mechanism 37A. Then, it tilts so that the lower end portion of the second tilting substrate 34A fixed to the second support shaft 35A is pushed up to the left.

Try to tilt. The beer was automatically poured out from the pouring nozzle 23b in a state where the glass G was inclined in the front-rear direction (one side) and the left-right direction (orthogonal direction orthogonal to one side). By doing so, the glass G placed on the cradle 36A is tilted in the front-rear direction (one side) and the left-right direction (orthogonal direction orthogonal to one) in the same manner as the second tilting substrate 34A, and placed on the cradle 36A. When the beer was poured out, the glass G was able to reduce the height of the bottom from the top, and further suppressed the beer poured out from the pouring nozzle 23b from foaming in the glass G. Moreover, since the beer poured out from the pouring nozzle 23b flows down along the inner peripheral surface of the glass G, it was possible to further suppress the beer from foaming in the glass G. Although the pair of bevel gears 37Aa and 37Ab is employed in the gear mechanism 37A of this embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first support shaft 33A is provided with a helical gear and the second support shaft 35A. A screw gear may be provided on the gear mechanism, and a gear mechanism may be configured by a helical gear and a screw gear.
(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment of the sparkling beverage automatic dispensing apparatus will be described. The automatic sparkling beverage dispensing device 10 according to the third embodiment is obtained by changing a part of the container receiving device 30A of the automatic sparkling beverage dispensing device 10 according to the second embodiment. explain.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in the third embodiment, a support bracket 14 </ b> A having a pair of left and right arms 14 </ b> Aa and 14 </ b> Ab protruding forward is provided on the front upper portion of the apparatus main body 11. First support shafts 33A and 33A for supporting the first tilting board 32A are attached to the arm portions 14Aa and 14Ab of the support bracket 14A. The left first support shaft 33A is fixedly attached to the arm portion 14Aa of the support bracket 14A, and the right first support shaft 33A is rotatably attached to the arm portion 14Ab of the support bracket 14A. A support shaft rotation mechanism 38 </ b> A for rotating the right first support shaft 33 </ b> A is provided at the front portion of the apparatus body 11. The support shaft rotation mechanism 38A is attached to the right arm portion 14Ab of the support bracket 14A, and rotates the right first support shaft 33A by driving a servo motor (not shown). The rest is the same as in the second embodiment described above.

  Also in the sparkling beverage automatic dispensing device 10 of the third embodiment configured as described above, the lower end portion of the first tilting substrate 32A is pushed forward by the cradle tilting device 40, and the first tilting substrate 32A is moved in the front-rear direction ( On the other hand, the servo motor of the support shaft rotation mechanism 38A is driven by a control device (not shown) to rotate the first support shaft 33A on the right side. The rotation of the first support shaft 33A on the right side is converted into the rotation of the second support shaft 35A by the gear mechanism 37A, and the lower end portion of the second tilting board 34A fixed to the second support shaft 35A is pushed up to the left. The second tilt substrate 34A is tilted in the left-right direction as an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction. The glass G placed on the cradle 36A is inclined in the front-rear direction (one side) and the left-right direction (orthogonal direction orthogonal to one) in the same manner as the second tilting substrate 34A, and the glass G placed on the cradle 36A is poured with beer. The height of the bottom part from the upper end could be lowered when taking out, and it was possible to further suppress the beer poured out from the pouring nozzle 23b from foaming in the glass G. Moreover, since the beer poured out from the pouring nozzle 23b flows down along the inner peripheral surface of the glass G, it was possible to further suppress the beer from foaming in the glass G.

  Since the right first support shaft 33A is rotated by driving the servo motor of the support shaft rotation mechanism 38A, the lower end of the first tilt substrate 32A is pushed forward or the first tilt substrate 32A. The first support shaft 33A can be rotated at a desired timing, and the lower end of the second tilting substrate 34A can be tilted to the left as if the lower end was pushed forward.

  Specifically, when the lower end portion of the first tilting substrate 32A is pushed forward, the first tilting substrate 32A rotates around the first support shaft 33A, so that the first support shaft 33A becomes the first tilting substrate. It will rotate relative to 32A. On the other hand, the servo motor of the support shaft rotation mechanism 38A is reversely rotated so that the first support shaft 33A does not rotate relative to the first tilt substrate 32A (the first support shaft 33A is the first tilt substrate). The second tilting substrate 34A is not temporarily tilted in the left-right direction when the first tilting substrate 32A is tilted. You can also. In this case, when the drive of the servo motor driven in the reverse rotation is stopped, the first tilting substrate 32A rotates relative to the first support shaft 33A, and the second gear mechanism 37A causes the second rotation. It tilts so that the lower end portion of the tilting substrate 34A is pushed up to the left. Further, even after the tilting of the first tilting board 32A is completed, if the servo motor of the support shaft rotating mechanism 38A is driven, the gear mechanism 37A tilts the lower end of the second tilting board 34A to the left. Can be made. Thus, by using the support shaft turning mechanism 38A, the lower end portion of the second tilting board 34A can be tilted to the left regardless of the timing when the first tilting board 32A is tilted. became.

Although the pair of bevel gears 37Aa and 37Ab is employed in the gear mechanism 37A of this embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the first support shaft 33A is provided with a helical gear and the second support shaft 35A. A screw gear may be provided on the gear mechanism, and a gear mechanism may be configured by a helical gear and a screw gear.
