[0015] A tea bar machine includes a cabinet, a kettle placed on the top of the cabinet, a water channel assembly and an ice container arranged in the cabinet, the water channel assembly includes a first water channel for supplying water to the kettle and a second water channel for supplying water to the ice container, the water channel assembly also includes a cleaning water channel connected between the water outlet of the kettle and the water inlet of the ice container, the tea bar machine has a working state and a self-cleaning state, when the tea bar machine is in the self-cleaning state, the cleaning water channel guides the hot water in the kettle to the ice container to clean the ice container. The technical solution has the following technical effects:
[0016] The utility model provides a self-cleaning function for the tea bar machine by setting a cleaning water channel. When the tea bar machine is in a self-cleaning state, the kettle heats the water flow entering the interior thereof from the first water channel, and then the hot water in the kettle flows into the ice liner through the cleaning water channel, that is, the tea bar machine can introduce the high-temperature water in the kettle into the ice liner through the cleaning water channel to perform high-temperature cleaning on the interior of the ice liner to achieve the effect of sterilization and disinfection. The setting of the cleaning water channel enables the kettle of the tea bar machine to not only provide hot water for drinking to the user, but also provide high-temperature water to the ice liner for self-cleaning, thereby preventing the ice liner from maintaining a low-temperature environment for a long time and breeding bacteria. When the user wants to clean the ice liner, the user does not need to disassemble the machine, but only needs to switch the tea bar machine to the self-cleaning mode. The operation is simple and convenient, which improves the user's experience. At the same time, the relevant structure for self-cleaning of the ice liner in the tea bar machine is simplified, the complexity of the internal structure of the tea bar machine is reduced, and the production and assembly cost of the tea bar machine is reduced.
[0017] The cleaning water circuit has a water outlet solenoid valve for opening and closing the cleaning water circuit. The water inlet of the water outlet solenoid valve is connected to the water outlet of the kettle, and the water outlet of the water outlet solenoid valve is connected to the water inlet of the ice container. When the tea bar machine is in working state, the water outlet solenoid valve closes the cleaning water circuit to prevent the normal temperature water or hot water in the kettle from freely passing through the cleaning water circuit into the ice container, ensuring the stable operation of the ice container; when the tea bar machine is in self-cleaning state, the tea bar machine first heats the water flow in the kettle to the set temperature, and then opens the solenoid valve to allow hot water to pass through the cleaning water circuit into the ice container for high-temperature cleaning, and the operation is stable and reliable.
[0018] The water outlet of the kettle is arranged at the bottom of the kettle, and the water inlet of the cleaning water path is arranged at the top of the cabinet. When the kettle is placed on the cabinet, the water outlet of the kettle is plugged into the water inlet of the cleaning water path to communicate. Because the kettle is placed on the top of the cabinet and the ice container is arranged inside the cabinet to form a certain height difference, the water outlet of the kettle is arranged at the bottom of the kettle, so that when the tea bar machine is in a self-cleaning state, the hot water in the kettle falls into the ice container through the cleaning water path under the action of gravity, and there is no need to arrange a water pump or other structures on the cleaning water path to extract hot water from the kettle to the ice container, thereby simplifying the cleaning water path and reducing the space occupied by the cleaning water path in the cabinet.
[0019] The cabinet body is provided with a back plate, and a water outlet faucet is provided on the back plate. When the kettle is placed on the cabinet body, the water outlet faucet is aligned with the water inlet on the upper part of the kettle. The water inlet of the kettle is realized by the water outlet faucet provided on the back plate, and the water inlet structure and the water outlet structure of the kettle can be separated, so as to avoid mutual influence between the water inlet structure and the water outlet structure of the kettle.
[0020] The second water circuit has a second water pump connected to the water inlet of the ice container, the water inlet of the ice container is connected to a three-way pipe, and the water outlet of the second water pump and the water outlet of the water outlet solenoid valve are connected to the three-way pipe. When the tea bar machine is in the self-cleaning state, the second water pump can block the hot water flowing out of the cleaning water circuit to ensure that the hot water in the cleaning water circuit can only flow into the ice container, avoid the hot water in the cleaning water circuit to flow back to the bottled water, and also avoid the second water pump pumping the water flow in the cleaning water circuit into the ice container when the tea bar machine is in the working state.
[0021] A two-position three-way valve is connected between the water outlet of the ice liner and the ice water outlet assembly, and the ice liner is connected to the water inlet of the kettle through the two-position three-way valve. When the tea bar machine is in working state, the ice liner discharges the prepared ice water through the two-position three-way valve; when the tea bar machine is in self-cleaning state, the ice liner injects water into the kettle through the two-position three-way valve, and the cooled water can be heated again by the kettle to the temperature required for cleaning the ice liner, so as to perform multiple cycles of cleaning on the ice liner and improve the cleaning effect of the ice liner.
[0022] In the above-mentioned tea bar machine, the two-position three-way valve includes a first water outlet and a second water outlet connected to the ice water outlet assembly, and the first water pump is connected between the second water outlet and the water inlet of the kettle to pump the hot water in the ice liner into the kettle. By connecting the first water pump between the second water outlet of the two-position three-way valve and the water inlet of the kettle, the first water pump can not only pump bottled water into the kettle for heating, but also pump the hot water in the ice liner into the kettle for secondary heating when the tea bar machine is in the automatic cleaning state, so as to circulate and clean the ice liner, realize the recycling of hot water, save electric energy, do not need to set up an additional pumping structure, and simplify the internal structure of the tea bar machine. A temperature sensor for detecting water temperature is provided on the kettle, and a controller electrically connected to the temperature sensor is provided in the cabinet. When the tea bar machine is in the self-cleaning state, the controller controls the kettle to heat the water flow in the kettle that has not reached the set temperature. The controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and can decide whether the kettle needs to heat the water flow based on the water temperature feedback from the temperature sensor, so as to ensure that when the tea bar machine is in the self-cleaning state, the hot water flowing into the ice tank is always maintained at a temperature that can sterilize the ice tank at high temperature, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the ice tank.
