摘要： A concrete mixing system includes reservoirs of liquid additives, where the additives are combined with concrete mix to add desired properties thereto. These reservoirs of liquid additive are connected to a storage chamber and a controller which controls and sequences various pumps, valves and sensors to attain the desired quantity of liquid additive for introduction to the concrete mix. The sensors measure pressure in the storage chamber, which the controller correlates to the volume therein for later mixing with the concrete mix. In situations where a back pressure in the chamber is a concern, a sensing tube is employed within the chamber. A differential pressure transducer, which has one sensor within the sensing tube and one sensor within the chamber, accurately determines the pressure and thus the volume received within the storage chamber. A modified sensing tube can also be employed to increase the sensitivity and the accuracy of the pressure measurement within the sensing tube.

摘要： A measured dispensing system includes a bulk reservoir containing a bulk quantity of a liquid material and a measurement container interconnected with the bulk reservoir. A pressure sensor is received within the measurement container for sensing a pressure head which develops therein as liquid is caused to enter the measurement container. Additionally, the measurement container has a level sensor therein for sensing the presence and absence of the liquid material in the measurement container at a particular level. A microprocessor controls valves allowing liquid to enter the tank during a filling cycle to determine when a specific quantity of the liquid has been received therein. The microprocessor similarly controls a dispensing valve and monitors a low level sensor to determine when that quantity has been dispensed from the tank.

摘要： A soft drink dispensing head capable of rapidly dispensing soft drinks with minimized foaming action includes a housing connected to a source of soda and a source of syrup, a diffuser within the housing, and a plurality of passages disposed below the diffuser. The source of soda delivers a supply of soda to the diffuser which causes the direction of the soda flow to be changed 180 degrees. The soda then falls over the diffuser and through a plurality of dispensing passages exiting the housing in a free falling stream. The soda and syrup are dispensed separate from each other and allowed to mix external to the dispensing head but before colliding with a cup located beneath the dispensing head. The source of syrup is in fluid communication with a groove that encircles a portion of the housing. A plurality of syrup dispensing ducts are in fluid communication with the groove and are configured such that each centerline of each duct intersects the free falling stream of soda. When the source of syrup delivers syrup to the groove, the syrup is forced out of the ducts and into the free falling stream of soda.

摘要： A liquid dispensing system generally includes a liquid pump connected to a source of pressure and an outlet tube. A first valve regulates the flow of pressurized air or gas between the source of pressure and the liquid pump. The first valve also regulates air or gas from the liquid pump to the atmosphere. A second valve may regulate the flow of liquid from the liquid pump through the outlet tube. A controller manipulates the first valve to create a pressure head in the liquid pump and then manipulates the second valve to dispense liquid. When dispensing is complete, the controller closes the second valve and manipulates the first valve to exhaust the pressure head from the liquid pump. An agitator resides in the liquid inside of the liquid pump. The agitator has a housing having a chamber for accepting an increased portion of the liquid in response to the creating of the pressure head and for rejecting such increased portion of the liquid from the chamber in response to the exhaustion of the pressure head. Liquid enters the chamber through an inlet tube and an intermediate tube controlled by a first check valve and exits the chamber through an intermediate tube and an outlet tube controlled by a second check valve.

摘要： An adjustable shelf for a paint colorant dispensing station comprises at least two platforms rotatably mounted on a pair of brackets. A pair of stops restrain the rotation of the shelf between two positions. One of the platforms is substantially horizontal and disposed beneath a dispensing head in one of the positions. The other platform is substantially horizontal and disposed beneath the dispensing head in the other of the positions. Each platform is adapted to hold a paint can. Each stop is adjustable by rotating the stop relative to the shelf. The rotation causes a threaded rod to extend from or retract to the element that supports the stop. A locking mechanism is provided to selectively restrain the shelf against rotation when the shelf is in one of the two positions.

摘要： A method and apparatus for dispensing a predetermined quantity of a liquid from a dispensing pump. A recirculation path from the dispensing pump to a bulk reservoir is configured to be substantially identical to the dispensing path itself. Periodically, a recirculation cycle is undertaken and the flow rate during the recirculation cycle is determined. With the recirculation and dispensing paths being identical, the dispensing rate for the dispensing path is then known. The method for accurately determining the recirculation rate is derived from Boyle's law to determine the specific volume dispensed in a specific recirculation cycle time.

摘要： An ice dispensing system for a soft drink dispenser employs a microphone adjacent a cup into which ice and soft drink are to be dispensed. The microphone senses sounds made by ice pieces dropping into the cup and converts the sounds to electrical signals. These electrical signals, characteristic of the masses of the pieces of ice dropping into the cup, are tallied during the dispensing cycle and the dispensing cycle is then terminated when the tally reaches a predetermined level, indicating that an appropriate compliment of ice has been dispensed.

摘要： A syrup dispensing assembly is provided for a soft drink dispenser. This assembly includes a plurality of syrup supply sources in communication with a plurality of syrup pumps. Each of the pumps is interconnected with a common manifold connected at one end to a source of CO.sub.2 gas under pressure, and at the other end by a vacuum pump. Actuation of a valve allows the gas pressure source to pressurize the pumps for dispensing. Closure of that valve and actuation of the vacuum pump allow the pumps to refill with syrup from the syrup supply sources. The system can operate with any of various types of syrup supplies, as well as combinations of such supplies.
