    The invention relates to bottling technology and can be used for bottling carbonated or non-carbonated beverages under cosmic microgravity conditions.
    A well-known microgravity unit for dispensing carbonated or non-carbonated beverages under cosmic microgravity conditions contains a reservoir for storing syrup, a source of carbon dioxide and sources for supplying hot or cold water.
    The disadvantage of this device is that they do not allow the mixing and bottling of beverages used under cosmic microgravity conditions to fill vessels under excessive pressure.
    The purpose of the invention is to increase efficiency.
    Figure 1 shows the proposed installation, the overall look; figure 2 - microgravity saturator; on 1 fig.Z - measuring device; figure 4 - drinking vessel; Fig, 5 - drinking vessel with a mouthpiece; Fig. 6 shows the connection of the mouthpiece to the filling tube unit 1; the installation consists of a reservoir 1 for storing syrup, a source 2 of carbon dioxide, sources 3 and 4 for supplying hot or cold water, respectively, a microgravity saturator 5 connected to a source of carbon dioxide 2 and 4 and cold water, a metering device 6 for batch delivery of water and syrup, a microgravity drinking vessel 7 for receiving metered portions and a device 8 for filling vessels, while it can also be equipped with The device 8 for filling with the pressing mechanism 9 for the drinking vessel 7, and the saturator 5 may contain a saturation chamber 10 mounted in it with the possibility of reciprocating movement of the piston 11, and the fan 12 located above the bottom of the chamber Holes 13 and 14 can be formed, respectively, for the supply of plain water and carbon dioxide, and an additional hole 15 is formed in the lid of the chamber 10 for supplying carbon dioxide.
    The metering device 6 includes an end-closed cylinder 16c axially formed therein at least two channels 17 and 18, a piston 19 mounted in the cylinder with notches 20 and 21 for interacting with the channels 17 and 18 when dispensing syrup, a sparkling water dispensing unit 22 mounted in the bottom
    a cylinder 16, a syrup circulation unit 23 consisting of at least two storage tanks for supplying syrup to the channels 17 and 18 of the cylinder 16, a mechanism 24 for creating pressure on the upper part of the piston 19, located in the upper end of the cylinder 16 to maintain during output of carbonated water of the required content of soluble carbon dioxide in it.
    A saturator 5 in the upper part also has a vent valve 25 for air outlet, a water valve 26, a sensor 27, a gas valve 28, a sensor 29 of the upper position, valves 30 and 31, sensors 32, cavities
    33,34, above and below the piston 16, valves 35 and 36. The vessel 7 has a rigid outer shell that can be made of any material, including plastic, a pouch 37 located therein for receiving and pouring through the mouthpiece 38 some simple or carbonated beverage and a vent hole 39 formed in the lower part of the vessel 7, wherein the vessel 7 is connected to the valve system
    40-44 and may have a valve 45 type duck nose and filling tube 46.
    The device works as follows.
    Before starting the operation, the piston 11 is located in the lower part of the saturator 5. The vent valve 25 is open, allowing compressed air or C02 gas to escape from the piston to the atmosphere. Then the valve 26 opens and simple water with a temperature of 0 ° C flows through the opening 13 into the saturator 5, moving the piston 11 upwards. When the piston 11 is in range of the sensor 24, the valve 26 is closed. After that, the gas valve 28 opens, the C02 gas through the opening 14, the pressure enters the saturator 5 and raises the piston 11 up to the upper position sensor 29. At the same time, the gas in the over-piston space leaves i. in atmosphere. When the piston is in the upper position, the saturator contains 344 cm3 of ga CO2 in addition to plain water under a pressure of 1.55 kg / cm2, which provides carbonated water up to 2.5 volumes. By varying the gas pressure, various levels of carbonation can be achieved. After the piston 11 takes the upper position and the pressure inside the saturator stabilizes, valves 25 and 28 close and the fan 12 is turned on to stir the solution.
    Then the valve 30 is turned on to create a back pressure above the piston 11, which is significantly higher than the pressure of the saturated. While the CD2 gas is supplied to the solution, the piston 11 moves down, while the valve 30 remains open, ensuring that the system is under backpressure that is higher than the saturation pressure. When the piston 11 moves downward before interacting with the sensor 27, all the gas will be injected into the ore, the water will be carbonated and ready for bottling. Valve 31 is opened to dispense water. When dispensing a liquid from the saturator 5H4, the piston 11 constantly acts on the back pressure, i
    When the piston 11 is at the bottom and all the water comes out of the saturator 10, the valve 30 closes.
    From the saturator 5, the carbonated water enters the tank 1, from where it is poured into the vessels 7. While one saturator prepares the carbonated water, carbonated water is dispensed from the parallel saturator.
    When the metering device is in operation, the soda water dispensing unit 22 is first opened, which can be made in the form of a solenoid valve, and water flows into the mixing nozzle. At the same time, the mechanism 24 triggers to create pressure in the upper part of the piston 19, which creates a force of 2.11 kg / cm2, moves the piston down and thereby maintains the necessary pressure of sparkling water in space
    under the piston. At the same time, the syrup circulation unit 23 is activated and the latter flows through channel 18.
    When the piston 19 is moved down, the syrup from the recess 21 is squeezed through the channel 18 into the mixing nozzle to mix with a measured amount of carbonated water passing through the valve. The syrup from the recess 20 is squeezed out through the channel 17 and the associated unit 23 back to the syrup tank. The sensors 32-34 of the position monitor the movement of the piston 19 and, by their indications, it is possible to determine how much sparkling water is spilled. When the required amount of water is poured, the blocks 22-24 operate and cut off the supply of carbonated water and syrup.
    Then the valve 35 opens, bypassing the sparkling water into the bottom of the piston 19 and raising it. Valve 36 then opens, allowing the gas to exit as the piston moves up. It is important that valve 36 not open quickly enough. When the piston 19 moves upwards, the syrup is drawn out of both tanks for the syrup and enters the recesses 20 and 21. When the piston 19 reaches the upper position, the valves 35 and 36 are closed and the next batch of beverage is ready for bottling.
    At the beginning of pouring the beverage into the vessel 7, the platform 9 is at the bottom, and the valves 40-44 are closed. The astronaut places vessel 7 on platform 9 and presses the product selection switch. The platform 9 is raised so that the vessel 7 and the mouthpiece 38 come into contact with the filling device 8.
    The valve 44 opens, creating a pressure of approximately 2.04 kg / cm 2 through the lower part of the platform 9 and the vent hole 39 in the internal cavity of the vessel 7, then opening valves 40-42, passing the carbonated drink into the bag 37 of the vessel 7. Since the beverage pressure on Throughout the entire operation, never falls below the saturation pressure, its carbonation is maintained. When the required amount of beverage enters the bag 37, the valves 40, 41, 42 and 44 are closed, and the valve 43 slowly opens, smoothly bringing the pressure to atmospheric. As the pressure decreases smoothly, the carbonation of the beverage is maintained. When the pressure inside the shell decreases, the valve 43 will close, the platform 9 will lower and the vessel 7 will be removed from the device for consumption.
    Inside the mouthpiece 38 may be a valve 45 type duck nose.
    In order to fill the vessel 7, the outer part of the drinking mouthpiece 38 is brought into contact with the filling tube 46. If the internal angle of the filling tube 46 is small, sealing will be achieved without much force. When the drink flows through the filling tube 46 through the valve 45, the pressure will open the last and the drink will fill the bag 37.
    When a consumer wants to drink, he takes the mouthpiece 38 into his mouth and presses the end of the mouthpiece. This causes the valve 45 to open, the bag 37, respectively, begins to shrink and squeeze the drink into the mouth of the consumer. After the bag 37 is empty, the vessel 7 can be refilled.
