[0024] In the description of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly limited, the words such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be broadly understood, and the person skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above words in the present application in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0025] During the mixing process of the beverage liquid and the carbon dioxide, the speed of the beverage liquid absorbing the carbon dioxide is usually less than the speed of the mixing tank 100 inputting new carbon dioxide, therefore, under the condition that the input flow of the carbon dioxide and the beverage liquid is unchanged, although the mixing tank 100 continuously outputs the beverage liquid, the beverage liquid in the mixing tank 100 which has not completed the absorption of the carbon dioxide will continuously increase, resulting in the pressure in the mixing tank 100 rising, therefore, the pressure change in the mixing tank 100 can feedback the condition of the beverage liquid absorbing the carbon dioxide.
[0026] Referring to Figure 1The utility model provides a device for beverage and carbon dioxide mixing, comprising rack 700, mixing jar 100, carbon dioxide supply device 300 and control device 400, mixing jar 100 is installed in rack 700, mixing jar 100 is provided with beverage access interface 140, carbon dioxide access interface 150 and beverage output interface 160, and beverage access interface 140 is provided with first automatic control valve 220, and mixing jar 100 is provided with pressure detection device 210 for detecting the pressure inside mixing jar 100, carbon dioxide supply device 300 is connected with carbon dioxide access interface 150, and second automatic control valve 230 is arranged between carbon dioxide supply device 300 and carbon dioxide access interface 150, control device 400 is arranged in rack 700, and control device 400 is electrically connected with pressure detection device 210, first automatic control valve 220 and second automatic control valve 230, and control device 400 can control the flow size of beverage access interface 140 and carbon dioxide access interface 150 according to the signal of pressure detection device 210, wherein beverage access interface 140 is used for connecting the device of previous process, and beverage output interface 160 is used for connecting the device of next process.
[0027] The device can evaluate the carbon dioxide absorption condition of the beverage in the mixing jar 100 through the pressure detection device 210, and the control device 400 can automatically control the first automatic control valve 220 and the second automatic control valve 230 according to the signal detected by the pressure detection device 210, so as to control the flow of the beverage and the carbon dioxide into the mixing jar 100, and then the proportion of the beverage liquid that has not completed the carbon dioxide absorption in the mixing jar 100 can be controlled. Specifically, when the proportion of the beverage liquid that has not completed the carbon dioxide absorption is increasing and the pressure in the mixing jar 100 exceeds a certain value, the control device 400 can control the first automatic control valve 220 and the second automatic control valve 230 to reduce the flow of the beverage and the carbon dioxide into the mixing jar 100, and at this time, the beverage liquid output by the mixing jar 100 is also reduced synchronously. Therefore, the beverage liquid in the mixing jar 100 can have more time to absorb the carbon dioxide, so that the proportion of the beverage liquid that has not completed the carbon dioxide absorption is reduced, and finally the beverage liquid output by the mixing jar 100 can meet the production requirements, so that the beverage does not need to be input into a static tank for a period of time, and the static tank can be omitted, thereby reducing the size and the floor area of the device. In addition, by automatically controlling the input flow of the carbon dioxide and the beverage liquid, the pressure in the mixing jar 100 can also be controlled, so that the pressure in the mixing jar 100 can be stabilized within a range, and the situation that the pressure in the mixing jar 100 exceeds the load can be effectively avoided.
[0028] Reference Figure 2According to some embodiments of the present application, the mixing tank 100 is provided with a stirring device 500, and the stirring device 500 is in butt joint communication with the beverage inlet interface 140 and the carbon dioxide inlet interface 150. By arranging the stirring device 500, the mixing effect of the beverage liquid and the carbon dioxide is improved.
[0029] With reference to Figure 2 According to some embodiments of the present application, the internal space of the mixing tank 100 is divided into an outer cavity 110 and at least one communication cavity 120 by a partition structure 130, the outer cavity 110 is in series communication with all the communication cavities 120 in turn, and the stirring device 500 is located in one of the communication cavities 120. Thus, in the production process, as shown by the arrows in Figure 2 , the carbon dioxide and the beverage liquid input into the mixing tank 100 need to be stirred and mixed in the communication cavities 120 by the stirring device 500 first, and then flow to the outer cavity 110, and finally output from the beverage output interface, thereby the time for the beverage liquid to mix with the carbon dioxide and then output from the mixing tank 100 can be prolonged, so that the beverage liquid has a long enough time to absorb the carbon dioxide in the mixing tank 100. In addition, the outer cavity 110 and the communication cavities 120 are separated by the partition structure 130, which avoids the disturbance of the stirring device 500 to the outer cavity 110, so that the outer cavity 110 is equivalent to a standing cavity.
[0030] With reference to Figure 2 According to some embodiments of the present application, all the communication cavities 120 are located inside the outer cavity 110, and all the communication cavities 120 are sequentially sleeved, the stirring device 500 is located in the innermost communication cavity 120, the partition structure 130 includes an inner barrel piece 131 arranged between adjacent two communication cavities 120, the partition structure 130 includes an outer barrel piece 132 arranged between the outer cavity 110 and the outermost communication cavity 120, and the inner barrel piece 131 is installed on the outer barrel piece 132. By adopting the above arrangement, a longer beverage liquid flow path can be arranged in the limited internal space of the mixing tank 100, thereby the time for the beverage liquid to mix with the carbon dioxide and then output from the mixing tank 100 can be greatly prolonged, and thus the beverage liquid that has not completed the absorption of the carbon dioxide in the beverage liquid output from the mixing tank 100 can be basically avoided.
[0031] With reference to Figure 2 According to some embodiments of the present application, the upper ends of the outer barrel piece 132 and all the inner barrel pieces 131 are open, and the upper ends of the outer barrel piece 132 and all the inner barrel pieces 131 gradually decrease in the direction from inside to outside. By adopting the above arrangement, the inner barrel piece 131 and the outer barrel piece 132 can divide the space in the mixing tank 100 into the above-mentioned communication cavities 120 and the outer cavity 110, and the structure is simple, the installation between the inner barrel piece 131 and the outer barrel piece 132 is convenient, and the installation of the stirring device 500 is also convenient.

Among them, since the input carbon dioxide and beverage liquid both have certain pressure and flow rate, the spiral stirring rod can automatically rotate in the stirring cylinder under the driving of the carbon dioxide and beverage liquid, thereby mixing and stirring the carbon dioxide and beverage liquid. Therefore, the stirring device 500 can save the setting of the motor and other power devices, has simple structure, is convenient to install, and is reliable in work.

Therefore, the conveying pump 620 can pump the cleaning liquid into the mixing tank 100 for cleaning.
[0035] In the specific implementation process, in order to improve the cleaning effect, the cleaning paddle can be rotatably installed in the mixing tank 100, and a rotating shower or the like can be arranged in the mixing tank 100 and in communication with the conveying pump 620. Among them, the inner barrel piece 131 and the outer barrel piece 132 are open at the upper end, which can facilitate the cleaning liquid to enter the inner barrel piece 131 and the outer barrel piece 132 to clean the inner barrel piece 131 and the outer barrel piece 132.
