Automatic isobaric dispensing machine for craft beer and beer dispensing method by using the same

An automatic isobaric dispensing machine for craft beer comprising a housing and a beer dispensing head installed on the housing and hermetically placed at a container mouth of a container, wherein the beer dispensing head is arranged with a beer inlet, a gas inlet, a gas exhaust outlet for discharging gas in the container, a gas exhaust valve for controlling an opening operation and a closing operation of the gas exhaust outlet, and a barometer for measuring a gas pressure in the container;

• wherein the automatic isobaric dispensing machine for craft beer further comprises a carbon dioxide supplying device connecting with the gas inlet of the beer dispensing head through a pre-pressure gas valve, a beer barrel connected with the beer inlet of the beer dispensing head through a beer outlet valve, a flowmeter for measuring a beer flow of the beer barrel, and a processor connected with the pre-pressure gas valve, the beer outlet valve, the flowmeter, the gas exhaust valve and the barometer;
• wherein the automatic isobaric dispensing machine for craft beer further comprises a lifting device including an electric telescopic mechanism installed on the housing and connected with the processor, and a lifting plate connected with a telescopic rod of the electric telescopic mechanism;
• wherein the lifting plate is arranged under the beer dispensing head and provided with a bracket or a clamp for placing the container;
• wherein the bracket or clamp is positioned corresponding to the beer dispensing head such that when the container is placed on the bracket or clamp and the lifting plate is raised upward, the beer dispensing head will fall into the container mouth of the container.

A beer dispensing method by using a discussed automatic isobaric dispensing machine for craft beer, wherein the automatic isobaric dispensing machine for craft beer comprises a housing and a beer dispensing head installed on the housing and hermetically placed at a container mouth of a container, wherein the beer dispensing head is arranged with a beer inlet, a gas inlet, a gas exhaust outlet for discharging gas in the container, a gas exhaust valve for controlling an opening operation and a closing operation of the gas exhaust outlet, and a barometer for measuring a gas pressure in the container;

• wherein the automatic isobaric dispensing machine for craft beer further comprises a carbon dioxide supplying device connecting with the gas inlet of the beer dispensing head through a pre-pressure gas valve, a beer barrel connected with the beer inlet of the beer dispensing head through a beer outlet valve, a flowmeter for measuring a beer flow of the beer barrel, and a processor connected with the pre-pressure gas valve, the beer outlet valve, the flowmeter, the gas exhaust valve and the barometer;
• wherein the beer dispensing method comprises following steps:
• S1. inserting the beer dispensing head into the container mouth of the container;
• S2. turning on the pre-pressure gas valve to inject the carbon dioxide into the container through the beer dispensing head, and turning off the pre-pressure gas valve when a gas pressure in the container is equal to that of the beer barrel;
• S3. turning on the beer outlet valve of the beer barrel and the gas exhaust outlet of the beer dispensing head to gradually release the gas pressure of the container and flow beer in the beer barrel to the container;
• S4. turning off the beer outlet valve when the beer flow of the beer barrel reaches a preset value;
• S5. separating the beer dispensing head from the container when the gas pressure in the container is close to an atmospheric pressure;
• wherein the automatic isobaric dispensing machine for craft beer comprises a plurality of beer barrels filled with different tastes of beer, a beer selection knob and a capacity selection knob connected with the processor;
• wherein each beer barrel is provided with one corresponding beer outlet valve at an outlet of the beer barrel, the beer dispensing head is connected with each beer outlet valve via a common pipeline with a flowmeter arranged inside;
• wherein step S1 further comprises rotating the beer selection knob to select a beer taste and rotating the capacity selection knob to select a container capacity;
• step S3 further comprises controlling the beer outlet valve of corresponding beer barrel to be turned on according to a selected beer taste and container capacity by the processor and measuring the beer flow by the flowmeter.
