ABSTRACT:
An electronic controller for solenoid valve actuated beverage dispensers which allows the operator to automatically dispense properly filled cups of various sizes. Slideably mounted electronic probe is lifted by the lip of the cup positioned under the dispenser spout. Actuation of a switch energizes the solenoid valves starting the dispensing cycle. When the cup is filled to the level of the probe, the solenoid valves are de-energized. Early de-energization of the solenoid valves by bubbles is avoided by adjusting a time delay-off knob so that the proper level will be attained for each class of beverage. Too much or too little ice in the glass will not affect the level. Digital counters record the number of drinks served by size or price.
