Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated milk tea production equipment, and in particular to an automated milk tea vending machine. Background Technology

[0002] Common milk tea products are mixed drinks made with milk and black tea, combining the nutritional benefits of both. Varieties include iced milk tea, hot milk tea, sweet milk tea, and salty milk tea. Different ingredients are needed to create different flavors of milk tea, such as sugar, fat, and salt. Some special flavored milk teas use tapioca pearls to create pearl milk tea.

[0003] In the process of preparing and selling milk tea, different milk tea products are usually prepared according to different flavor requirements. Furthermore, the process typically includes steps such as ingredient selection, cup preparation, ingredient addition, stirring, adding ice, sealing, and packaging for sale. These steps are relatively independent and require manual intervention. However, relying entirely on manual operation for milk tea preparation and sales, especially in the case of batch preparation and sales of milk tea with the same flavor, is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient. The quality of the sold milk tea cannot meet the necessary uniform standards, failing to satisfy the efficiency and quality requirements for milk tea sales. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide an automatic milk tea vending machine that reduces labor intensity and improves work efficiency, addressing the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is achieved by the following technical solution: an automatic milk tea vending machine, comprising a stirring mechanism and a feeding mechanism, wherein the stirring mechanism comprises a stirring rod and its driving mechanism, the feeding mechanism comprises a feeding tube, a measuring mechanism, a storage tank and its driving mechanism, the measuring mechanism comprises a measuring tank, a discharging partition and its driving mechanism, wherein an upper partition and a lower partition are respectively formed on the discharging partition, the discharging partition moves horizontally relative to the storage tank under the action of its driving mechanism, and when the upper partition closes the discharging port on the storage tank, the lower partition keeps the measuring tank and the feeding tube in a connected state; when the upper partition opens the discharging port on the storage tank, the lower partition keeps the measuring tank and the feeding tube in a cut-off state.

[0006] Furthermore, the drive mechanism of the discharge baffle includes a first motor and a crank. The actuation output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to a third gear. A gear meshing transmission structure is formed between the third gear and the fifth gear. A gear meshing transmission structure is formed between the fifth gear and the fourth gear. The fourth gear forms a synchronous rotation structure with the crank through a linkage rod. A movable connection structure is formed between the crank and one end of the connecting rod, and a movable connection structure is formed between the other end of the connecting rod and the discharge baffle, which rotates relative to each other.

[0007] Furthermore, the driving mechanism of the storage hopper includes a second motor, a first grooved cam, and a driving cam. The first grooved cam has several strip-shaped actuating grooves, and the driving cam has a actuating post. The actuating post and the actuating groove form a sliding fit structure. The storage hopper is fixedly connected to the first grooved cam. The second motor drives the seventh gear to rotate. The seventh gear and the sixth gear form a gear meshing transmission structure. The sixth gear and the driving cam form a synchronous rotation structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the control mechanism also includes a photoelectric sensor and a processor for controlling the actual capacity of the measuring bucket. The processor is electrically connected to the photoelectric sensor and the first motor respectively. When the photoelectric sensor detects that the actual capacity of the measuring bucket has reached the specified capacity, it sends an electrical signal to the processor. The processor controls the operation of the first motor, and the first motor drives the discharge baffle to move horizontally relative to the storage bucket.

[0009] Furthermore, a magnetic control door is provided at the bottom of the storage hopper, and an electromagnet is provided on the magnetic control door. The electromagnet is electrically connected to the processor, and the magnetic control door is controlled by the electromagnet to open or close the discharge port.

[0010] Furthermore, the driving mechanism of the stirring rod includes a stirring motor, a driving rod, a second groove cam, a swing plate, and a shifting plate. The stirring motor is fixedly mounted on a motor base, and its output end is connected to the stirring rod. One end of the driving rod forms a guide head, and the other end is fixedly connected to a first guide pin. A cam groove is formed on the second groove cam. The swing plate has a first guide groove and a second guide groove, respectively. The shifting plate has an L-shaped shifting guide groove. The motor base is fixedly connected to the second guide pin and the shifting guide pin, respectively. The driving rod forms a movable connection structure with the shaft support through a positioning shaft, and a sliding fit structure is formed between the guide head on the driving rod and the cam groove on the second groove cam. A sliding fit structure is formed between the first guide pin and the first guide groove, the second guide pin and the second guide groove, and the shifting guide pin and the shifting guide groove.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes an ice-adding mechanism, which includes a support base, an ice guide groove, an ice-distributing slide, and a driving mechanism. The ice guide groove forms an inclined structure relative to the support base, and the ice-distributing slide is provided with a receiving cavity. The ice-distributing slide and the support base form a sliding fit structure. When the ice-distributing slide moves horizontally relative to the support base under the action of its driving mechanism, the ice blocks in the receiving cavity fall into the ice guide groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the driving mechanism of the ice-distributing slide includes a guide plate and an ice-adding motor. The guide plate has a vertical groove. The actuation output end of the ice-adding motor is connected to one end of a rocker arm. The other end of the rocker arm is connected to a guide column. The guide column and the vertical groove form a sliding fit structure. The guide plate is fixedly connected to the ice-distributing slide.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a horizontal slide block, on which a horizontal slide groove is formed, the horizontal slide groove being arranged parallel to the ice-separating slide block, and a horizontal slide column being formed on the guide plate, the horizontal slide column and the horizontal slide groove forming a sliding fit structure.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a cup dispensing mechanism, which includes a cup holder and its driving mechanism. The cup holder is composed of several rings connected in sequence to form a spring-like structure. One end of the cup holder is connected to the driving mechanism and forms a cup inlet, and the other end forms a cup outlet. Along the direction from the cup inlet to the cup outlet, the radius of the rings on the cup holder decreases sequentially, and the distance between adjacent rings increases sequentially.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: In the preparation of milk tea, the ingredients are added through the feeding mechanism and the amount is controlled by the quantity control mechanism, so that the actual volume in each milk tea cup is basically consistent. Then, the stirring rod in the stirring mechanism is inserted into the milk tea cup to carry out the stirring operation, so as to ensure that the stirring is thorough and uniform. This not only saves manual operation and reduces labor intensity, but also improves the efficiency and quality of milk tea preparation, which is conducive to ensuring the flavor and taste of milk tea.

Detailed Implementation

[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3The illustrated milk tea vending machine has a cup dispensing mechanism 5, a filling mechanism 4, a stirring mechanism 3, an ice-adding mechanism 2, a horizontal moving mechanism 6, and a vertical moving mechanism 8 mounted on a base 1. The horizontal moving mechanism 6 is a screw-slide mechanism, with the slide connected to the vertical moving mechanism 8, and the screw driven by a horizontal drive motor 61. The vertical moving mechanism 8 is also a screw-slide mechanism, with the slide connected to a cup holder 82, and the screw driven by a vertical drive motor 81. Therefore, when the horizontal drive motor 61 is working, the cup holder 82 (along with the vertical moving mechanism 8) moves horizontally relative to the base 1, and when the vertical drive motor 81 is working, the cup holder 82 moves vertically relative to the base 1.

[0050] The specific structure of the cup dispensing mechanism 5 is as follows: Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the device includes a housing 51, a guide groove 53, a cup holder 52, and its driving mechanism. The cup holder 52 is composed of several rings connected in sequence to form a spring-like structure. One end forms a cup inlet 58, and the other end forms a cup outlet 57. Along the direction from the cup inlet 58 to the cup outlet 57, the radius of the rings on the cup holder 52 decreases sequentially, and the spacing between adjacent rings increases sequentially. The driving mechanism of the cup holder 52 includes a cup-dispensing motor 54, a first gear 55, and a second gear 56. The output end of the cup-dispensing motor 54 is fixedly connected to the first gear 55. The first gear 55 and the second gear 56 form a gear meshing transmission structure. The second gear 56 is fixedly connected to one end of the cup inlet 58 of the cup holder 52. The cup holder 52 and its driving mechanism are both installed in the hollow inner cavity of the housing 51. The guide groove 53 is connected to the housing 51 in an inclined structure, and the inlet of the guide groove 53 communicates with the cup outlet 57 of the cup holder 52.

[0051] When the cup dispensing mechanism 5 is working, firstly, the cup dispensing motor 54 starts, and the first gear 55 rotates synchronously. The first gear 55 drives the second gear 56 to rotate synchronously, and the second gear 56 also drives the cup dispensing holder 52 to rotate synchronously. When the stacked milk tea cups 7 enter through the inlet 58 on the cup dispensing holder 52, the rim of the milk tea cup 7 can be engaged in the gap between adjacent rings of the cup dispensing holder 52. As the cup dispensing holder 52 rotates, since the radius of the rings on the cup dispensing holder 52 decreases successively, while the distance between adjacent rings increases successively, the milk tea cups 7 can be more stably engaged with the cup dispensing holder 52 as the cup dispensing holder 52 rotates, and the distance between adjacent milk tea cups 7 also gradually increases, thereby separating the stacked milk tea cups one by one and effectively preventing the milk tea cups from getting stuck. After the milk tea cup 7 leaves the cup outlet 57 on the cup holder 52, it falls directly into the cup guide groove 53 and, under the action of gravity, falls along the cup guide groove 53 onto the cup carrier 82.

[0052] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the feeding mechanism 4 includes a feeding pipe 402, a metering control mechanism, a storage tank 413, and a driving mechanism. The metering control mechanism includes a measuring tank 407, a discharge baffle 406, and a driving mechanism. The discharge baffle 406 has an upper baffle 424 and a lower baffle 425 formed on it. Figure 15 , Figure 16 , Figure 17 As shown; the driving mechanism of the discharge baffle 406 includes a first motor 404 and a crank 408. The actuation output end of the first motor 404 is fixedly connected to the third gear 403. The third gear 403 and the fifth gear 411 form a gear meshing transmission structure. The fifth gear 411 and the fourth gear 410 form a gear meshing transmission structure. The fourth gear 410 forms a synchronous rotation structure with the crank 408 through the linkage rod 409. The crank 408 and one end of the connecting rod 405 form a relatively rotating movable connection structure. The other end of the connecting rod 405 forms a relatively rotating movable connection structure with the discharge baffle 406.

[0053] The storage hopper 413 and the hopper frame 412 form a double-layer sleeve structure, and the storage hopper 413 can rotate relative to the hopper frame 412. A cover plate 401 is provided at the inlet end of the storage hopper 413, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown. The drive mechanism of the storage tank 413 is as follows. Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 As shown, it mainly includes a second motor 417, a first grooved cam 419, and a drive cam 420. The first grooved cam 419 has several strip-shaped actuating grooves 423, and the drive cam 420 has actuating posts 418. The actuating posts 418 and the actuating grooves 423 form a sliding fit structure. The storage bucket 413 is fixedly connected to the first grooved cam 419. The second motor 417 drives the seventh gear 422 to rotate. The seventh gear 422 and the sixth gear 421 form a gear meshing transmission structure. The sixth gear 421 and the drive cam 420 form a synchronous rotation structure.

[0054] To improve the reliability and automation level of the measurement control mechanism and further enhance the efficiency of milk tea preparation, a photoelectric sensor and processor can be added to control the actual capacity of the measuring container 407. The processor can be a PLC or a microcontroller. Furthermore, a magnetic control door 414 is installed at the bottom of the storage container 413, and an electromagnet 415 is installed on the magnetic control door 414. The electromagnet 415 is electrically connected to the processor, and the magnetic control door 414 controls the opening or closing of the discharge port 416 via the electromagnet 415. Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 As shown. The processor is electrically connected to the photoelectric sensor and the first motor 404. When the photoelectric sensor detects that the actual capacity of the measuring container 407 has reached the specified capacity, it sends an electrical signal to the processor, which then controls the operation of the first motor 404.

[0055] When the first motor 404 starts, it drives the third gear 403 to rotate, which in turn drives the fifth gear 411 to rotate synchronously. The fifth gear 411 then drives the fourth gear 410 to rotate synchronously. The fourth gear 410 drives the crank 408 to rotate synchronously via the linkage rod 409. During the rotation of the crank 408, the discharge baffle 406 is driven to move horizontally relative to the storage tank 413 via the connecting rod 405. When the upper baffle 424 opens the discharge port 416 on the storage tank 413, the lower baffle 425 cuts off the connection between the measuring tank 407 and the feeding pipe 402. Therefore, the milk tea ingredients in the storage tank 413 can enter the measuring tank 407 for quantitative measurement. When the photoelectric sensor detects that the actual capacity of the measuring tank 407 has reached the specified capacity, it sends an electrical signal to the processor, which then controls the first motor 404 to operate until the upper partition 424 of the discharge partition 406 closes the discharge port 416 on the storage tank 413, while the lower partition 425 connects the measuring tank 407 and the feeding pipe 402. At this time, the measured amount of milk tea ingredients in the measuring tank 407 can flow from the measuring tank 407 into the feeding pipe 402, thereby achieving accurate control of the amount of milk tea ingredients.

[0056] like Figure 18 , Figure 19 As shown, the stirring mechanism 3 includes a stirring rod 301 and its driving mechanism. The specific structure of the driving mechanism of the stirring rod 301 is as follows. Figure 20 , Figure 21As shown, the device includes a stirring motor 302, a drive rod 303, a second groove cam 306, a swing plate 307, and a positioning plate 308. The stirring motor 302 is fixedly mounted on a motor base 310, and the output end of the stirring motor 302 is connected to the stirring rod 301. The drive rod 303 preferably adopts a 7-shaped structure, with one end forming a guide head 303a and the other end fixedly connected to a first guide pin 311. A cam groove is formed on the second groove cam 306. A first guide groove 312 and a second guide groove 313 are respectively opened on the swing plate 307. Both the first guide groove 312 and the second guide groove 313 are vertically oriented straight strip-shaped guide grooves. The positioning plate 308 has an L-shaped positioning guide groove 309. The motor base 310 is fixedly connected to the second guide pin 314 and the positioning guide pin 315 respectively. The drive rod 303 forms a movable connection structure with the shaft bracket 305 through the positioning shaft 304. The guide head 303a on the drive rod 303 forms a sliding fit structure with the cam groove on the second groove cam 306. The first guide pin 311 forms a sliding fit structure with the first guide groove 312. The second guide pin 314 forms a sliding fit structure with the second guide groove 313. The positioning guide pin 315 forms a sliding fit structure with the positioning guide groove 309.

[0057] With the above structural design, the first motor 404 can provide power to the feeding mechanism 4 and the stirring mechanism 3 at the same time. When the first motor 404 rotates, the third gear 403 drives the fifth gear 411 to rotate synchronously. The fifth gear 411 drives the second groove cam 306 to rotate synchronously. Through the stroke difference of the second groove cam 306, the swing plate 307 can be controlled to move in the horizontal direction. During the movement of the swing plate 307, the sliding engagement between the second guide pin 314 and the second guide groove 313 constrains the motor base 310 to move linearly in the vertical direction relative to the swing plate 307. Simultaneously, the sliding engagement between the shifting guide pin 315 and the shifting guide groove 309 constrains the motor base 310 to form an L-shaped trajectory relative to the shifting plate 308 that aligns with the shifting guide groove 309. This allows the motor base 310 to extend and retract in the horizontal direction and rise and fall in the vertical direction relative to the shifting plate 308. Specifically, when the shifting guide pin 315 reaches the end of the horizontal section of the shifting guide groove 309, the stirring rod 301 approaches and rises relative to the shifting plate 308. At this time, the stirring rod 301 is in a retracted state. Figure 22 , Figure 23 As shown; when the shifting guide pin 315 moves to the end of the vertical section of the shifting guide groove 309, the stirring rod 301 moves away from and lowers relative to the shifting stationary plate 308. At this time, the stirring rod 301 is in an extended state, as shown. Figure 24 , Figure 25 , Figure 26 As shown.

[0058] The specific structure of the ice-adding mechanism 2 is as follows: Figure 27 , Figure 28 As shown, the device includes a support base 211, an ice guide groove 201, an ice-splitting slide 202, and a driving mechanism. The ice guide groove 201 forms an inclined structure relative to the support base 211. The ice-splitting slide 202 has several parallel receiving cavities 212, and a sliding fit structure is formed between the ice-splitting slide 202 and the support base 211. The driving mechanism of the ice-splitting slide 202 includes a guide plate 203 and an ice-adding motor 208. The guide plate 203 has a vertical strip-shaped groove 204. The ice-adding motor 208 is mounted on a motor support 207, and the actuation output end of the ice-adding motor 208 is connected to one end of a rocker arm 206. The other end of the rocker arm 206 is connected to a guide column 205, and a sliding fit structure is formed between the guide column 205 and the vertical strip-shaped groove 204. The guide plate 203 and the ice-splitting slide 202 are fixedly connected by a connecting column 213.

[0059] When ice-adding mechanism 2 is working, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 27 As shown, the ice-adding motor 208 starts, which in turn drives the rocker arm 206 to rotate. Since the guide column 205 and the vertical groove 204 form a sliding fit structure, the rocker arm 206 drives the guide plate 203 to move horizontally relative to the support seat 211 via the guide column 205, thereby causing the ice-dispensing slide 202 to move synchronously horizontally relative to the support seat 211. During the horizontal movement of the ice-dispensing slide 202 relative to the support seat 211, ice blocks stored in the ice bucket 200 fall into the receiving cavity 212 on the ice-dispensing slide 202. The ice blocks in the receiving cavity 212 then fall into the ice guide groove 201. Through the horizontal movement of the ice-dispensing slide 202, the ice blocks in the receiving cavity 212 can fall sequentially into the ice guide groove 201, thus meeting the ice addition requirements when preparing milk tea. To ensure a more stable and reliable addition of ice, it is essential to ensure the stable and reliable horizontal movement of the ice-dispensing slide 202 relative to the support 211. For this purpose, a horizontal slide 210 can be added, with a horizontal groove 209 formed on it. The horizontal groove 209 is parallel to the ice-dispensing slide 202. A horizontal sliding post 214 is formed on the guide plate 203, and a sliding fit structure is formed between the horizontal sliding post 214 and the horizontal groove 209. Figure 29 , Figure 30 , Figure 31 As shown.

[0060] When the automatic milk tea vending machine of the present invention is in operation, it first outputs milk tea cups 7 one by one to the cup carrier platform 82 through the cup dispensing mechanism 5. Then, through the cooperation of the horizontal moving mechanism 6 and the vertical moving mechanism 8, the milk tea cups 7 on the cup carrier platform 82 can be transported to the outlet end of the feeding pipe 402 in the feeding mechanism 4. Then, the milk tea ingredients stored in the storage tank 413 can be quantitatively injected into the milk tea cups 7 through the feeding pipe 402. Then, through the cooperation of the horizontal moving mechanism 6 and the vertical moving mechanism 8, the milk tea cups 7 that have been filled with milk tea ingredients are transported to the working position of the stirring mechanism 3. The stirring mechanism 3 is started, and the stirring rod 301 is inserted into the milk tea cups 7 to fully stir evenly. Finally, ice cubes are added to the milk tea cups 7 through the ice adding mechanism 2, the cups are sealed and pushed out, thus completing the milk tea preparation operation.

[0061] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. It should be noted that any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
