Abstract

SISTEMA DE SENSOR PARA UM DISTRIBUIDOR DE REFRIGERADOR. A presente invenção refere-se a um sistema de sensor para um sistema de distribuição de refrigerador é utilizado para perceber a presença, o posicionamento, a altura e o formato de um recipiente localizado em um poço de distribuição. Quando a presença do recipiente é percebida no poço de distribuição e o recipiente é posicionado adequadamente com relação a um bocal de distribuição do poço, uma operação de distribuição pode ser realizada. A operação de distribuição real é regulada com base na altura e no formato do recipiente. Dessa forma, as operações de distribuição só podem ser realizadas quando um recipiente é disposto de forma adequada no poço de distribuição e a operação de distribuição será encerrada de forma temporal com base no tamanho e formato do recipiente em particular empregado.
