[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0024] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:

[0025] This utility model provides a beverage mixing can with foam removal effect, including: a base 1; the base 1 adopts a rectangular frame structure; a cylindrical first slide rod 104 is fixedly installed on the top left side of the base 1; a circular plate cover 110 is slidably installed on the outer side of the first slide rod 104, and a through circular groove structure is opened in the middle of the top of the cover 110, and a through circular groove structure is opened on one side of the top of the cover 110; an outer rod 116 is slidably installed in the circular groove in the middle of the cover 110, and the outer rod 116 adopts an internally hollow cylindrical structure; an arc-shaped side plate 117 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the outer rod 116; a cylindrical winding roller 118 is rotatably installed on the inner side of the side plate 117, and a filter screen is wound around the outer side of the winding roller 118; a coil spring is installed on the winding roller 118, and the coil spring allows the filter screen to be automatically wound after use, making it easy to store and reuse.

[0026] A cylinder 105 is fixedly installed on the right side of the base 1, and the cylinder 105 is connected to the cover plate 110. Through the extension and retraction of the cylinder 105, the cover plate 110 can slide up and down on the first slide rod 104, which facilitates the opening and closing of the tank 106, making it convenient to add raw materials or perform equipment maintenance. A cylindrical tank 106 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the base 1. A cylindrical connecting pipe 107 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the tank 106. A stirring roller 108 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the connecting pipe 107. A first motor 109 is fixedly installed on one side of the tank 106, and the first motor 109 is connected to the stirring roller 108 through a bevel gear set. The first motor 109 drives the stirring roller 108 to rotate in the connecting pipe 107, thereby stirring and mixing the beverage in the tank 106. The transmission method of the bevel gear set can ensure stable power transmission, and the structure is compact and occupies little space.

[0027] The cover plate 110 has a cylindrical second slide rod 111 slidably disposed in a circular groove on one side of its top, and the outer side of the second slide rod 111 is provided with a height scale. A circular buoyancy plate 112 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the second slide rod 111. The buoyancy plate 112 is made of buoyancy material and can float up and down with the change of beverage liquid level in the can 106, thereby driving the second slide rod 111 to slide in the groove of the cover plate 110, which plays a role in real-time monitoring of the liquid level. A cylindrical third slide rod 113 is fixedly disposed on one side of the top of the cover plate 110. A lead screw 114 is rotatably disposed on one side of the top of the cover plate 110. A second motor 115 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the cover plate 110 and is drivenly connected to the lead screw 114. The second motor 115 drives the lead screw 114 to rotate, providing power for the up and down movement of the sliding plate 122 and the outer rod 116.

[0028] The sliding plate 122 with a Chinese character-shaped structure is slidably arranged on the outer side of the third sliding rod 113. A through-hole structure is opened on one side of the top of the sliding plate 122. The sliding plate 122 is connected to the lead screw 114 by a threaded engagement. An outer rod 116 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the sliding plate 122. A third motor 120 is fixedly arranged at the top of the sliding plate 122. A connecting rod 119 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the outer rod 116. A bottom plate 121 with an arc-shaped structure is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 119. The bottom plate 121 is connected to one end of the filter screen on the outer side of the take-up roller 118. The third motor 120 drives the connecting rod 119 to rotate, thereby causing the bottom plate 121 and the filter screen to unfold or retract, so as to realize the foam filtration and removal operation.

[0029] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0030] In use, firstly, the cover plate 110 is slid open upwards by the cylinder 105, and the required beverage ingredients are added into the tank 106. After addition, the cylinder 105 drives the cover plate 110 to slide downwards, closing the tank 106. Then, the first motor 109 is started, driving the stirring roller 108 to rotate in the connecting pipe 107 via the bevel gear set, stirring and mixing the beverage ingredients in the tank 106. During the stirring process, when foam is generated and rises to the top of the tank 106, the buoyancy plate 112 will float up and down under the action of liquid buoyancy as the beverage level in the tank 106 changes, driving the second slide rod 111 to slide in the through groove of the cover plate 110. The liquid level can be obtained in real time. Then, according to the height of the liquid level, the height of the bottom plate 121 and the side plate 117 are adjusted by the second motor 109. 15 drives the lead screw 114 to rotate, causing the sliding plate 122 to slide downwards along the third sliding rod 113 via threaded transmission. This drives the outer rod 116, side plate 117, winding roller 118, and filter screen to descend to a suitable position, so that the bottom of the side plate 117 contacts the liquid surface. Then, the third motor 120 is started to drive the connecting rod 119 to rotate. The connecting rod 119 drives the bottom plate 121 to rotate, thereby unfolding the filter screen on the winding roller 118 and covering the liquid surface, so that the foam is above the filter screen. Then, the cylinder 105 is started again to drive the cover plate 110 to move upwards, simultaneously driving the filter screen to move upwards and bringing out the foam above the filter screen. This allows most of the foam to be separated from the liquid in one go, resulting in high cleaning efficiency and good cleaning effect.

[0031] Example 2: Based on Example 1, as shown in the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:

[0032] The base 1 has a rectangular groove structure collection trough 101 fixedly installed on the bottom rear side. The collection trough 101 is used to collect the liquid filtered out during the foam removal process for convenient centralized treatment. A U-shaped baffle 102 is fixedly installed on the rear top side of the base 1. A blower 103 is fixedly installed on the top front side of the base 1. The airflow generated by the blower 103 can blow the foam filtered out on the filter screen towards the baffle 102, thereby accelerating the foam removal speed.

[0033] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0034] In this invention, the blower 103 can be started at this time to blow the foam on the filter screen towards the rear of the tank 106. After the foam is blocked by the baffle 102, it finally drips into the collection tank 101 below, completing the entire foam treatment process. After the treatment is completed, the third motor 120 rotates in the opposite direction, and under the action of the coil spring of the winding roller 118, the filter screen is rolled up again, which facilitates the subsequent cleaning work.
