Definitions

  • the innovation is based on a household beverage vending machine with exchangeable storage containers for beverage concentrates, carbon dioxide containers or the like, as well as with electrical and fluidic devices for portioned removal of the concentrate, mixing with water and feeding the mixture to an output station.
  • vending machines of this type can indeed be operated from the front of the device, as far as the switching on of the device, the selection of the beverage and the removal of the selected beverage are concerned.
  • the replacement of the storage containers, the replacement of the empty carbon dioxide bottle and the like is not readily possible only from the front of the device in these known vending machines.
  • Such Ge automatic watering machines cannot be used as so-called built-in devices, in which at least a large part of the side surfaces of the device is enclosed by furniture, for example built-in kitchen furniture.
  • built-in devices have a filling capacity of approximately 1,500 portions, the vending machine needs to be refilled from time to time.
  • the entire device would then have to be removed from the installed position each time, which is not reasonable for the consumer.
  • the innovation is based on the task of designing a domestic drinks machine of the type mentioned in such a way that it can be fully operated from the front and thus enables its use as a built-in appliance.
  • this object is achieved in that a space for all detachable or replaceable functional parts such as storage containers and carbon dioxide containers is provided in the device housing, preferably above the feeding and mixing station, and is open to the front of the device and can optionally be covered by a removable or swiveling front panel.
  • each interchangeable storage container for the beverage concentrate, from which the individual concentrate portions are removed is provided with a metering valve for this purpose, which is opened electromagnetically for portion removal.
  • each storage container is assigned an annular coil which is fixed to the device and into which the storage container with its metering valve must be set from above. With excitement of the Ring coil, the metering valve is opened.
  • the storage container of which is provided in the aforementioned manner with metering valves which can be actuated by electromagnetic means
  • full front operability is made possible with a very small device height
  • the electromagnetic actuating device is made of there is a U-shaped magnet yoke open towards the front of the device in connection with a magnet coil arranged thereon. It is advantageous if the legs of the U-shaped magnetic yoke are surrounded by protective walls towards the front of the device, which delimit a niche open at the front for adjusting the storage container with its metering valve.
  • the household beverage machine shown schematically in FIGS. 1 to 4 has a box-like device housing 1, for example made of plastic material, of which the device front is shown in FIG. 1.
  • the device housing 1 On the back of the device, the device housing 1 is provided with a lower indentation 2, in the area in which electrical connections or water-technical connections (not shown further) can be located.
  • the front of the device As shown in FIG. 1 in connection with FIG. 4, the front of the device is open in the area of the widths a and b to the front of the device and is separated in height by an intermediate floor 3 into two superimposed rooms with the height c and d.
  • the lower space in FIG. 1 with the width b and the height d forms a removal space 4, on the bottom 5 of which a drinking glass 6 is placed.
  • a beverage mixing channel 7 with an inclined floor is detachably fastened in guide strips 8.
  • the upper space 9 with the width a and the depth c and the lower space 4 are separated from the rest of the interior of the device by a trough-like shell body 10 with a rear wall 11 which is molded in approximately half the height and forms the intermediate floor 3 and which is in the upper space area , has a further bulge 13 forming a space 12 accessible from the front.
  • the shell body 10 also has horizontal shell walls 14 and 15.
  • the shell body 10 has according to the rooms 4 and 9 graded widths a and b and a height that results from the addition of the partial heights c and d. As indicated in FIG.
  • FIG. 1 in connection with FIG. 4, an electromagnetically actuable actuating device is assigned to each storage container 18 at the level of the metering valves.
  • Each actuating device consists of an essentially U-shaped magnetic yoke 21 and a magnetic coil 22 arranged thereon.
  • the protective walls form open niches 25 on the front, into which the storage containers 18 with their metering valves 19 can be inserted horizontally from the front of the device.
  • a carbon dioxide container is designated by 26, which can be adjusted laterally next to the storage containers 18 into the upper space 9 within the shell body 10 and can be connected to corresponding gas lines.
  • the front open cutout of the device housing 1 in the area of the upper room 4 can be covered by a front panel 28, which can be folded upwards, for example, about the pivot point 27, which front panel is trans can be parent or can be provided on the outer surface with corresponding references to the contents of the storage container 18.
  • each of the keys lying one below the other in the exemplary embodiment 4 is assigned to one of the storage containers 18 which contain different syrups, the fourth key serving to provide a pure soda drink. If one of the buttons assigned to the storage containers is actuated, carbonized water flows from a water container (not shown) that is provided with a cooling device into the mixing trough 7 is emitted into the mixing trough 7, which mixes there with the carbonized water and flows into the drinking glass 6.
  • FIG. 5 shows some installation options for the explained domestic drinks machine.
  • the device 1 is only indicated schematically in its outlines.
  • a worktop 31 has a row of cupboards 32 at a distance from the worktop.
  • FIG. 5 shows three different ways of attaching or installing the drinks machine to or in this row of cupboards.
  • the vending machine is attached directly to the lower boundary of the cabinet row 32 at a distance from the worktop 31.
  • the drinks machine is only installed with its upper part in the cabinet row 32, so that practically only the room 4, ie the mixing and dispensing station of the device and the operating and display elements 29 located at the same height below the Stand out cabinet row 32 and are freely accessible there at working height.
  • the entire vending machine is installed in the cabinet row 32 and can be concealed by a cabinet door.
