Beverage production system

Abstract

A beverage production system includes a semi-finished product supply device. The semi-finished product supply device includes a beverage water supply unit, a raw material supply unit, and a semi-finished product storage unit spaced apart from each other, and a mixing tube unit fluidly communicating between the beverage water supply unit, the raw material supply unit, and the semi-finished product storage unit. The mixing tube unit defines a rotatably extending mixing channel. Because the beverage water supplied by the beverage water supply unit and the raw material supplied by the raw material supply unit can mix with each other as they flow in the mixing channel, this invention eliminates the need for mixing the beverage water and the raw material through any stirring tank, thereby preventing the raw material from being oxidized by oxygen in the air and allowing the beverage produced by this invention to retain the nutrients of the raw material as much as possible.

Claims

1. A beverage production system comprising: a semi-finished product supply device including a beverage water supply unit, a raw material supply unit and a semi-finished product storage unit spaced apart from each other, and a mixing tube unit fluidly connected between the beverage water supply unit, the raw material supply unit and the semi-finished product storage unit, the mixing tube unit defining a rotatably extending mixing channel.

2. The beverage production system as described in claim 1, wherein, The mixing tube unit includes a mixing tube assembly, which includes a fitting that is fluidly connected to the semi-finished product storage unit, and a rotating blade inserted in the fitting, the rotating blade cooperating with the fitting to define the mixing channel.

3. The beverage production system as described in claim 2, wherein, The rotating blade consists of several rotating blades that are connected to each other and whose rotation angles are not consecutive.

4. The beverage production system as described in claim 3, wherein, The mixing pipe unit also includes a tee pipe that provides fluid communication with the beverage water supply unit, the raw material supply unit, and the fitting.

5. The beverage production system as described in claim 1, wherein, The semi-finished product supply equipment also includes a raw material supply pipeline fluidly connected between the raw material supply unit and the mixing pipe unit, and a diaphragm pump installed on the raw material supply pipeline.

6. The beverage production system as described in claim 5, wherein, The beverage water supply unit is suitable for supplying a beverage water, and the raw material supply unit is suitable for supplying a raw material. The average flow rate of the beverage water into the mixing pipe unit per unit time is 15 to 25 times the average flow rate of the raw material into the mixing pipe unit.

7. The beverage production system as described in claim 1, wherein, The semi-finished product supply equipment also includes a semi-finished product supply pipeline fluidly connected to the mixing pipe unit and the semi-finished product storage unit. The beverage water supply unit includes a water storage tank and an electrolyzer spaced apart from each other, and a water supply pipeline fluidly connected between the water storage tank and the electrolyzer. The semi-finished product supply equipment also includes a return flow pipeline fluidly connected between the water supply pipeline and the semi-finished product supply pipeline.

8. The beverage production system as described in claim 7, wherein, The semi-finished product supply equipment also includes an acid supply unit installed on the return connection pipeline.

9. The beverage production system as described in claim 8, wherein, The acid supply unit is adapted to provide an acid, which includes citric acid, and the raw material supply unit is adapted to provide a raw material, which is lemon extract.
