MIXING NOZZLE FOR A BLENDED BEVERAGE FOR A MULTIPLE FLAVOR BEVERAGE DISPENSING SYSTEM

摘要

A beverage dispensing mixing nozzle for mixing a multi-component beverage mixture. The nozzle has a disruption plate for slowing and dispersing a dispensed fluid into an adjacent expansion region. The disruption plate and floor of the expansion region have turbulence-inducing surfaces to aid in mixing the fluid.

主权项

1. A beverage dispensing nozzle comprising:
an entry chamber adapted to connect with a beverage dispenser outlet, the entry chamber having a first internal wall having a first inner diameter, the first internal wall extending along an axis from a fluid entrance; an expansion chamber in fluid communication with the entry chamber and having a second inner wall extending along the axis from the first internal wall, the second inner wall having a second inner diameter, the second inner diameter being greater than the first inner diameter; an exit chamber in fluid communication with the expansion region and having a third internal wall extending along the axis from the second internal wall, the third internal wall having a third inner diameter that is less than the second inner diameter, the third internal wall extending along the axis to a fluid exit; and a fluid stream disruption plate extending across the axis at a position between the expansion chamber and the exit chamber wherein the second inner wall and fluid stream disruption plate have a turbulence-inducing surface.
