[0007] In implementation, the control device is connected to each of the billing devices and is used to record the sales volume of beverages dispensed from each beverage brewing device, and the pricing mechanism recalculates and adjusts the selling price of beverages dispensed from each beverage brewing device based on the sales volume of beverages dispensed from each beverage brewing device, causing an increase / decrease and displaying it on the display interface.

[0008] In implementation, the control device further includes a manual pricing mechanism that allows on-site sales personnel to adjust the selling price of beverages dispensed from each beverage brewing device, causing an increase / decrease in the price to be displayed on the display interface.

[0009] In operation, the display panel is provided on one side of each beverage brewer with an information display screen corresponding to the beverage that the beverage brewer dispenses.

[0010] In implementation, the information display screen includes at least information such as the name of the beverage, the selling price, and an introduction of the beverage's ingredients or origin.

[0011] In implementation, the carrier device is an induction card, and the induction card can only drive the beverage extraction device to dispense a beverage and calculate the amount after being electronically detected by the charging device. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] The design of the present invention has the following advantages: First, the design of this invention allows consumers to select any beverage, take a small amount to taste, and then fill the empty cup with their favorite beverage, and then freely combine and mix to create their own unique flavor. Moreover, the entire process is priced according to quantity, so there is no need to worry about "ordering a beverage that does not suit your taste." Secondly, the design of this invention breaks away from the traditional model of beverages being sold by the cup, allowing consumers to take as much as they need, and the entire process is priced according to volume, so consumers can only fill up on the amount they want to drink, effectively reducing beverage waste and saving on consumer expenditure. Third, according to the design of the pricing mechanism of the control device of this invention, the current selling price of each beverage can be adjusted according to sales conditions, so that the price of popular beverages will increase and the price of less popular beverages will decrease. This not only attracts consumers to purchase or try the beverages with reduced prices, but also effectively equalizes the sales volume of each beverage and prevents certain beverages from remaining unsold and causing problems such as inventory and expiration dates. Fourth, the pricing mechanism of the control device of this invention can change selling prices and conduct sales promotion campaigns at any time based on the atmosphere of the site, stock market movements, the status of sports competitions, and the design of events such as holiday events and games on site. This not only effectively stimulates consumer purchasing desire, but also livens up the atmosphere of the site and promotes or increases consumer repeat visits. Fifth, the display interface design of this invention allows consumers to clearly understand the current selling price and price movement trends of each beverage, similar to the concept of stocks, providing consumers with a different and special consumption feeling and experience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] 1 to 4 show an embodiment of a beverage sales system according to the present invention.

[0015] The beverage vending system according to the present invention mainly comprises a display panel 1, a plurality of beverage extracting devices 2, a plurality of charging devices 3, a display interface 4 and a control device 5.

[0016] The display interface 4 is provided on the display panel 1, and a plurality of beverage extraction devices 2 are arranged at intervals on the display panel 1. A beverage supply device 6 is connected to each beverage extraction device 2, and each beverage supply device 6 contains a different flavor or brand of beverage. For example, one of the beverage extraction devices is connected to a beverage supply device containing cola, another is connected to a beverage supply device containing whiskey, and yet another is connected to a beverage supply device containing wheat beer, etc.

[0017] Each charging device 3 is installed on one side of each beverage brewing machine 2 (in this embodiment, Figure 1 shows an example of installation on the top), and is connected to the beverage brewing machine 2. It is used to calculate the amount of beverage dispensed from the beverage brewing machine 2 each time and record it in the carrier device 7. The carrier device 7 may be an induction card, and only after the induction card is electronically detected by the charging device 3 can it drive the beverage brewing machine 2 to dispense beverages and calculate the amount. The sensing method may be contact or contactless, and the induction card may be a payment tool such as a debit card, credit card or prepaid card. Figure 1 takes the contact type as an example. In actual implementation, for example, if the price of the beverage brewing machine 2 (cola) is 0.3 yuan per ml, after the consumer electronically detects the carrier device 7 (inductive card) with the charging device 3, when the consumer starts the beverage brewing machine 2 and pours the beverage into a drinking cup, the charging device 3 will start to calculate the amount of ml dispensed and record the amount in the carrier device 7 (inductive card), and finally the consumer can pay the bill using the carrier device 7 (inductive card).

[0018] As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the control device 5 is connected to the display interface 4 and includes a pricing mechanism, so that the selling price of the beverage dispensed from each beverage extraction device 2 increases / decreases through the pricing mechanism, and is immediately reflected and displayed on the display interface 4.

[0019] In implementation, the control device 5 is connected to each of the billing devices 3 and is used to record the sales volume of beverages dispensed from each of the beverage brewing machines 2. The pricing mechanism can recalculate and adjust the selling price of beverages dispensed from each of the beverage brewing machines 2 based on the sales volume of beverages dispensed from each of the beverage brewing machines 2, and cause an increase / decrease in the selling price, which can be displayed on the display interface 4. For example, if the current sales volume of whiskey exceeds a preset value in the pricing mechanism, the pricing mechanism can raise the selling price of the whiskey through a calculation formula and display the increased price in characters or codes (e.g., a symbol for a stock price increase) on the display interface 4. Similarly, if the current sales volume of wheat beer meets a judgment criterion in the pricing mechanism (the judgment criterion includes that the sales volume is lower than a preset value), the pricing mechanism can lower the selling price of the wheat beer through a calculation formula and display the reduced price in characters or codes (e.g., a symbol for a stock price decrease) on the display interface 4 (as shown in Figures 3 and 4).

[0020] Of course, in actual use, the control device 5 may further include a manual pricing mechanism, which allows on-site sales staff to adjust the selling prices of beverages dispensed from each beverage extractor 2, and cause the prices to increase / decrease and be displayed on the display interface 4. For example, when a sports event is being broadcast live, on-site sales staff can operate the control device 5 to adjust the selling prices of beverages dispensed from each beverage extractor 2 in order to support a particular team. For example, all beverages can be halved for 10 minutes, or a limited-time campaign can be held for a particular beverage, allowing on-site consumers to support their favorite team and simultaneously experience the lively celebratory atmosphere on-site.

[0021] In addition, on the display panel 1, an information display screen 8 corresponding to the beverage supplied by the beverage extraction device 2 is provided on one side of the beverage extraction device 2, and the information display screen 8 includes information such as at least the name of the beverage, the selling price, and an introduction to the ingredients or place of origin of the beverage.

[0022] The above description is a specific embodiment of the present invention and the technical means used. Based on the disclosure or teachings of this specification, many changes and modifications can be derived, which may still be considered as equivalent modifications based on the concept of the present invention, and the effects they produce still do not exceed the substantial spirit contained in the specification and drawings, and all should be considered as being within the technical scope of the present invention, as clarified in advance. [Industrial Applicability]

[0023] In summary, based on the above disclosure, the present invention can certainly achieve the intended purpose of the invention and provide a beverage vending system that is practical and industrially applicable, and therefore, a utility model registration application is hereby filed in accordance with the law.
