    [0002] Barrel filling or refilling system
    [0004] The present invention relates to a system for filling or refilling barrels, in particular a system for filling or refilling barrels with foam-producing beverages, for example wine or beer.
    [0006] Background of the invention
    [0008] Currently the filling or refilling of barrels is carried out in various ways, such as by gravity, by pressure with nitrogen, by pump, etc., and all of them have in common the foam that is generated inside the barrel.
    [0010] The generation of foam is due to the type of wine or beer, the speed of the pumps and / or the poor conduction installation of the wine or beer pipes, among others.
    [0012] Usually, for said foam to disappear, a sufficient period of time is waited for this foam to dissolve and give way to a free space to continue filling the barrel.
    [0014] Obviously, when the barrel is refilled, more foam is generated, which means that you have to wait for another period of time. In addition, a hammer can also be used to hit the barrel and break the foam, and many times the barrel is filled to a level above the optimal fill level to put the stopper.
    [0016] Consequently, filling or refilling barrels has always been an unpleasant, time-consuming and high risk of injury job.
    [0018] Therefore, an objective of the present invention is to provide a system for filling or refilling barrels that allows this to be automatic, easy, without risk of injury, clean and without loss of wine or beer.
    [0020] Description of the invention
    [0022] With the barrel filling or refilling system of the invention it is possible to solve the cited drawbacks, presenting other advantages that will be described below. Specifically, with the system of the invention the problems of filling wine barrels and filling beer barrels are solved.
    [0024] The system for filling or refilling barrels according to the present invention comprises a tube for introducing a liquid into a barrel, and also comprises suction means for the suction of foam that occurs during the filling or refilling of the barrel.
    [0026] In this way, said suction means suck up the foam produced during the filling or refilling of the barrel, not being necessary to wait for said foam to dissolve or to take any action to break the foam.
    [0028] Therefore, with the barrel filling system according to the present invention, it is faster, easier and safer.
    [0030] Advantageously, said suction means comprise a suction tube, which is preferably connected to a suction pump.
    [0032] To adapt to barrels with different dimensions, said aspiration tube is longitudinally movable, that is, it can move vertically.
    [0034] Furthermore, the barrel filling or refilling system according to the present invention also comprises position detection means for detecting the position of the proximal end of said aspiration tube with respect to the barrel, which also preferably detects the position of the proximal end of said tube introduction to the barrel.
    [0036] Furthermore, said suction means also comprise a pressure switch that controls the suction pressure of the foam, and an encoder that detects the position of said suction tube.
    [0038] Brief description of the drawings
    [0040] For a better understanding of what has been stated, some drawings are attached in which, schematically and only as a non-limiting example, a practical case of embodiment is represented.
    [0041] Figure 1 is a perspective view of the barrel filling or refilling system according to the present invention; and
    [0043] Figure 2 is an elevation view of the barrel filling system according to the present invention, in its position for use with a barrel.
    [0045] Description of a preferred embodiment
    [0047] As shown in the figures, the system for filling or refilling barrels according to the present invention comprises, mounted on a frame (1), an introduction tube (2) that introduces a beverage, for example, wine or beer. , to a barrel (10) (represented only in figure 2).
    [0049] Said introduction tube (2) is placed over the filling mouth (11) of the barrel (10) and is used to fill the barrel (10) with the desired beverage, in a conventional manner. As is known and as described above, the introduction of the drink into the barrel (10) causes the production of foam.
    [0051] Said foam is removed substantially simultaneously with its production by means of suction means, which comprise a suction tube (3) that sucks the foam as it is produced.
    [0053] For this, the suction tube (3) is connected to a suction pump (4) and is longitudinally movable, that is, it can move vertically according to the embodiment shown, although an embodiment in which said tube it is fixed and the barrel (10) is the one that varies its position. This movement makes it possible to place the proximal end of the aspiration tube (3), that is, the end closest to the barrel (10) in the desired position as close as possible to the foam to be aspirated.
    [0055] To control this movement, the suction means comprise a drive for the movement of said suction tube (3). For example, said drive can be a ram, or any suitable device, driven by a motor.
    [0057] To control the position of the proximal end of the aspiration tube (3), the filling or filling system comprises a position detector (6), for example, a photoelectric cell, which detects the position in height of said proximal end of the tube. aspiration (3) with respect to the barrel (10). Said position detector (6) also preferably detects the position between the proximal end of the introduction tube (2) and the barrel (10).
    [0059] Furthermore, the filling or refilling system according to the present invention also comprises an encoder (7), which controls the position of the suction tube (3) through the number of turns that the output shaft of the drive motor (5) rotates ).
    [0061] The suction means also comprise, according to the represented embodiment, a pressure switch (8), which controls the suction pressure of the foam through said suction tube (3), as will be explained below.
    [0063] For safety reasons, a fluid control solenoid valve (9) has also been installed, which can cut off the supply to the introduction tube (2) if necessary.
    [0065] Although it has not been represented in the figures, the filling system according to the present invention also comprises a foam tank, which accumulates the foam that is withdrawn from the barrel (10) through the suction tube (3). .
    [0067] The operation of the filling or refilling system according to the present invention is as follows:
    [0069] In the first place, the barrel (10) is placed in its position, and the position detector (6) determines the distance existing with respect to the filling mouth (11) of the barrel (10) and also determines the distance that they have to lower the two tubes, the suction tube (3) and the introduction tube (2).
    [0071] Said movement is carried out mechanically through the output shaft of the drive motor (5) and the two tubes (2,3) are introduced into the filling mouth (11) inside the barrel (10), for example, about 100 mm inside the drink, which already occupies a part of the barrel (10).
    [0073] With this lowering movement, the suction tube (3) is also positioned to the extent that we want to leave the drink with respect to the filling mouth (11), for example, one or two millimeters, in such a way that when introducing the cap that closes the barrel (10) this is introduced the liquid.
    [0074] Once both tubes (2,3) are positioned on the filling mouth (11) of the barrel (10), two functions are carried out automatically. The beverage inlet valve is opened and the suction pump (4) starts up, it begins to suck foam as it is generated when the drink enters the barrel (10).
    [0076] The foam that is generated as it rises towards the filling mouth (11) is sucked in by the suction pump (4) and the moment comes when the drink reaches the suction level and it begins to be sucked in by the suction pump ( 4). It is at that moment when the pressure switch (8) discriminates the difference in pressure of the foam with respect to the pressure of the liquid or drink, stopping the filling and suction closing system, starting the elevation of the introduction tubes (2) and suction (3), concluding the function of filling or refilling the barrel, passing the operator to put the cap on the filling mouth (11) of the barrel (10).
    [0078] In this way, an optimal filling or refilling of the barrel is achieved, in a short time, without risk for the operator and cleanly.
