Embodiment Construction

[0022] Figure 1 shows a beverage brewing system which forms part of a beverage vending machine. For clarity, only the actual beverage brewing system is shown and other peripherals and installation components are not shown. The system consists of a liquid tank 1, a connecting pipe 2 and a stirring device 3 which opens above a cup 4 arranged in a cup presenter or a carousel-type cup feeding device 5 in. The cup holder is supplied with cups by a cup storage device (not shown), which cups are first introduced with powdered beverage ingredients and then sent below the stirring device 3 . The powder supply (to the cups) can be done before (the cups are sent to) the carousel, or at a certain position on the carousel (to the cups) before the liquid is supplied.

[0023] The liquid tank includes a heating device and has a valve device 10 on the outside. A pump 12 is provided together with the valve device 10 , which pumps a previously measured or defined quantity of liquid into the ...

Abstract

The diluting liquid (water) is supplied via a flexible outlet hose (64) which is secured only at its upper end (66), whilst a magnetic object (82) is provided on the outside of its lower end (74). The magnetic object is surrounded by an electromagnet device (50) capable of generating a variable magnetic field which can travel around the hose mouth (84) so that the jet of liquid exiting the hose is moved around the inside of the mixing vessel in which the liquid is mixed with the remaining powdered and / or liquid ingredients. Liquid is delivered to the mixing vessel from above via a stirring device in the form of a spray head that directs at least one jet of liquid into the vessel.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a beverage stirring device for stirring or mixing liquid and liquid and / or powdered ingredients in a drinking vessel. The invention also relates to a method for stirring and ultimately frothing a liquid in a drinking vessel. Stirring devices of this type are used in vending machines for beverages consisting of a liquid, usually hot, and a concentrate in liquid or powder form. Background technique [0002] Achieving satisfactory mixing of liquids and other ingredients is often difficult with previously known stirring devices. A particular problem arises when it is desired to froth a liquid, for example when making a cappuccino. This is now usually accomplished by frothing the milk in a separate container. For hygienic reasons, the container is cleaned several times during the day. EP 1 197 145 describes a device for frothing milk to make cappuccinos, comprising a tubular device with a through-rod with stirring blades...
