Problems solved by technology

[0002] Capsule beverage machines generally include a machine base, a brewing cup, a brewing head and an identification device. Both the brewing head and the identification device are arranged on the machine base. The capsule is contained in the brewing cup. The diaphragm of the beverage machine usually realizes capsule identification by moving the capsule in a straight line relative to the identification device. The identification area of ​​the identification device is fixed. Once the identification code in the identification area is damaged or the printing is not clear, the identification will easily fail and the identification effect is not ideal.
[0003] Patent Publication No. CN102781290B discloses a beverage preparation capsule with an identification code, an optical code is provided in the circular area of ​​the capsule circular membrane center, the optical code includes a two-dimensional barcode, and the identification device includes a digital camera, which is relatively The capsule holder is positioned and configured to capture a two-dimensional barcode image on the capsule and transmit the image or related binary information to the control unit for processing, the circular area is small in size, and the number of printed two-dimensional barcodes is small, two Dimensional barcodes have a high probability of contamination or printing quality problems, and the capsule recognition effect is not ideal; the beverage production equipment includes a capsule recognition position and a capsule brewing position. The device and the brewing structure are set separately in different areas, the structure is complex and inconvenient to use

Embodiment 1

[0038] Such as Figure 1-2As shown, the present invention provides a capsule beverage machine, which is a horizontal beverage machine, including a machine base 1, a brewing head 2, a water supply assembly and a control unit, and the brewing head 2, the water supply assembly and the control unit The units are all arranged on the base 1, the water supply assembly provides water to the brewing head 2, the water supply assembly is electrically connected to the control unit, the brewing head 2 is provided with a water inlet needle and an outlet needle, and the inlet The water puncture needle and the extraction needle are both arranged laterally on the same side of the brewing head 2, and the extraction needle is located below the water inlet needle. The beverage machine also includes a brewing cup. The brewing head has an opening exposed to the outside of the machine base. The brewing cup There is a turnbuckle structure between the brewing head and the detachable connection between...

Embodiment 2

[0060] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that: the capsule identification control method further includes a function executing step.

[0061] Such as Figure 7 As shown, the capsule identification control method further includes a function execution step, and the beverage machine is provided with a function selection button for the user to choose to execute a brewing program and a cleaning program. When the user selects the brewing program, the control unit detects the OID identification data within the fourth set period, and when the identification data is detected, the brewing program corresponding to the OID data is executed; when the identification data is not detected, the default brewing is executed program. By detecting the identification data in the fourth setting period of the process of executing the brewing program, the identification device has a secondary identification process before performing a specific brewing operation, providing mor...

Abstract

The invention provides a capsule identification control method for a beverage machine. The beverage machine comprises a base, a brewing cup, a brewing head and an identification device, the brewing head and the identification device are both arranged on the base, a capsule is contained in the brewing cup, the brewing cup is rotatably matched with the brewing head, and the capsule comprises a diaphragm having an identification code. The capsule identification control method comprises a rotation identification step, wherein the brewing cup drives a capsule relative identification device to rotate, and the identification device detects the identification code on the diaphragm in real time and obtains identification data. According to the control method, in the rotation identification step, inthe process when the brewing cup is rotatably matched with the brewing head and the diaphragm is in a rotating state, the identification device detects the identification code and obtains the identification data. In the process of installing the brewing cup, the capsule identification process is completed, the identification efficiency is high, and the time for preparing a beverage is saved. In addition, the identification device and a brewing device are integrated, the structure is simple, the identification and brewing operation is continuous, and more convenience is provided for a user during use.
