Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of milk tea machine technology, specifically, it relates to a milk tea machine, a control method for a milk tea machine, a control device for a milk tea machine, a milk tea machine, and a readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Nowadays, consumers have a demand to make healthy milk tea themselves, and milk tea machines on the market now all use the heating element of an electric kettle for heating.

[0003] In existing milk tea machines, the heating module is located at the bottom, causing the heat to concentrate at the bottom, which easily leads to the bottom sticking together. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0005] Therefore, the first aspect of the present invention provides a milk tea machine.

[0006] A second aspect of the present invention provides a control method for a milk tea machine.

[0007] A third aspect of the present invention provides a control device for a milk tea machine.

[0008] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a milk tea machine.

[0009] A fifth aspect of the present invention provides a readable storage medium.

[0010] In view of the above, according to a first aspect of the present invention, a milk tea machine is provided, comprising: a first housing, the first housing including a first cavity; a receiving member detachably disposed in the first cavity, the receiving member including a second cavity, the first cavity and the second cavity being connected; a steam inlet disposed in the first housing and connected to the first cavity; and a steam assembly connected to the steam inlet, the steam assembly being used to input steam into the first cavity through the steam inlet.

[0011] This invention provides a milk tea machine comprising a first housing, a steam inlet, a container, and a steam assembly. The first housing has a first cavity for containing the liquid to be processed. The steam inlet is located on the first housing. The steam output end of the steam assembly is connected to the steam inlet. When the steam assembly is powered on, it generates steam. The steam generated by the steam assembly enters the first cavity through the steam inlet and flows through the liquid within the first cavity.

[0012] The container is located within the first cavity, and a second cavity is provided within the container. The second cavity is interconnected with the first cavity, allowing liquid from the first cavity to enter the second cavity. The second cavity is used to hold solid ingredients, such as tea leaves, tea powder, or coffee powder. The solid ingredients are placed in the second cavity before the container is installed into the first cavity. This allows the liquid in the first cavity to fully soak the solid ingredients, ensuring complete extraction of their beneficial substances. By incorporating this container into the milk tea machine, it achieves the ability to brew tea or coffee.

[0013] It is understandable that the accommodating component is provided with multiple through holes, which are evenly distributed on the outer side wall of the accommodating component. The first cavity and the second cavity are connected through the multiple through holes, ensuring that solid food in the first cavity cannot enter the second cavity through the through holes, while liquid food in the second cavity can enter the second cavity through the through holes.

[0014] The steam inlet is located on the bottom wall of the first housing. After entering the first cavity through this inlet, the steam moves from bottom to top, causing the liquid near the bottom wall to tumble and further reducing the risk of scorching. Furthermore, by directly introducing steam into the first cavity, allowing it to move upwards, backflow of liquid is prevented. The steam generated by the steam assembly is at a high temperature. By introducing the steam into the first cavity, it exchanges heat with the liquid inside, effectively heating it. Compared to existing methods using electric heating elements, this method offers a larger contact area between the steam and liquid, resulting in faster heating and more uniform heating. The steam's movement also agitates the liquid, effectively preventing scorching caused by excessive heat at the bottom of the first housing when heating liquids such as milk or milk tea.

[0015] It is worth noting that the steam inlet is equipped with a one-way valve structure, which means that steam can enter the first chamber through the steam inlet equipped with a one-way valve, while the liquid in the first chamber cannot flow to the steam assembly through the steam inlet, thus avoiding the problem of liquid flowing into the steam assembly and causing damage to the steam assembly.

[0016] In some embodiments, the steam assembly can output steam within a heating temperature range according to control commands.

[0017] In these embodiments, users can select to heat the liquid with steam at different temperatures depending on the type of liquid ingredient. The heating temperature range is from 100°C to 300°C.

[0018] For example, when a user needs to rapidly boil a liquid, steam at a temperature above 200°C can be selected to heat the liquid, thereby improving the heating efficiency. When a user needs to keep a liquid at a certain temperature, steam at 100°C can be selected to heat the liquid.

[0019] In addition, the milk tea machine according to the above-described technical solution provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0020] In one possible design, the steam assembly includes: a steam generator; and a steam passage, one end of which is connected to a steam inlet and the other end of which is connected to a steam outlet of the steam generator.

[0021] In this design, the steam assembly includes a steam generator and a steam channel. When powered on, the steam generator produces heat, which vaporizes the water entering the generator, producing steam. The steam then enters the first chamber through a vent channel connecting the steam generator and the steam inlet. The steam channel guides the steam generated by the steam assembly to a suitable location within the first chamber. Connecting the steam inlet to the steam assembly via the steam channel avoids the problem of the steam assembly failing due to overheating caused by being too close to the first chamber.

[0022] In one possible design, the steam assembly also includes a regulating valve disposed in the steam passage, which is capable of adjusting the flow area of ​​the steam passage.

[0023] In this design, the steam assembly also includes a regulating valve installed on the steam passage, and controlling the opening of the regulating valve can adjust the steam flow area of ​​the steam passage.

[0024] When it's necessary to stop heating the liquid in the first chamber, the steam generator stops operating. At this time, the steam generator is powered off and stops heating the water inside. However, the heat generated will still cause the steam generator to produce a small amount of steam. By closing the regulating valve, this prevents steam from entering the first chamber through the steam channel. This avoids a small amount of steam entering the first chamber when the user needs to stop heating the liquid, allowing for precise control of the amount of steam entering the first chamber.

[0025] With a constant total amount of steam generated by the steam generator, the steam flow rate can be adjusted by controlling the regulating valve on the steam passage.

[0026] Specifically, when the steam generator operates at a constant power, the amount of steam produced per unit time remains constant. In this case, if the opening of the control valve is increased, the flow area of ​​the steam passage increases, thereby reducing the steam velocity within the passage and slowing the flow of steam entering the first chamber, thus reducing the steam's agitation effect on the liquid within the first chamber. Conversely, if the opening of the control valve is decreased, the flow area of ​​the steam passage decreases, thereby increasing the steam velocity within the passage and speeding up the flow of steam entering the first chamber, thus increasing the overall steam velocity within the passage.

[0027] By installing corresponding regulating valves on the steam passage of the steam assembly, the adjustment range of steam flow rate is increased. Users can adjust the steam flow rate entering the first chamber not only by adjusting the power of the steam assembly, but also by adjusting the regulating valves. This achieves the effect of adjusting the steam flow rate without adjusting the power of the steam generator, thus improving the user experience.

[0028] In one possible design, the steam assembly also includes a water tank connected to the steam generator.

[0029] In this design, the steam assembly also includes a water tank connected to the steam generator, which is used to replenish the steam generator with water. Before the milk tea machine starts processing the liquid, the water tank is filled with water. When the steam generator is powered on, it vaporizes the water to produce steam. The water in the water tank can be continuously replenished to the steam generator, enabling it to continuously produce steam.

[0030] In some embodiments, the water tank is detachably mounted on the milk tea machine.

[0031] In these embodiments, the water tank in the steam assembly can be disassembled relative to the milk tea machine, making it convenient for users to clean the water tank daily and preventing dirt and grime from accumulating inside the water tank due to prolonged lack of cleaning, thus further improving the user experience.

[0032] In one possible design, the milk tea machine further includes: a second housing connected to the bottom wall of the first housing, the second housing including a third cavity that communicates with the first cavity through a steam inlet; and a liquid dispensing assembly disposed in the second housing that communicates with the third cavity.

[0033] In this design, the milk tea machine also includes a second housing and a liquid dispensing assembly mounted on the second housing. The second housing is connected to the bottom wall of the first housing. A third chamber is provided within the second housing, and the third chamber is connected to the first chamber via a steam inlet. The steam outlet of the steam assembly is connected to the third chamber, meaning that steam output from the steam outlet of the steam assembly passes through the third chamber and the steam inlet sequentially before entering the first chamber.

[0034] The liquid outlet assembly has its liquid inlet connected to the third chamber. The assembly includes an outlet pipe, a pump body, and a valve body, with the valve body including a solenoid valve. When the steam assembly stops operating, the liquid in the first chamber can flow back to the third chamber through the steam inlet.

[0035] Specifically, after the steam component stops operating, the control valve opens, and the control body starts operating. The liquid in the first chamber flows into the third chamber. Under the action of the pump, the liquid stored in the third chamber is discharged from the milk tea machine through the liquid outlet pipe.

[0036] It is worth noting that the first housing and the second housing are integrally formed, or the first housing is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the second housing.

[0037] The present invention provides a liquid dispensing component on the second housing of the milk tea machine, and the liquid dispensing component is connected to the third cavity in the second housing. The liquid dispensing component enables the liquid in the first cavity to be discharged from the milk tea machine through the third cavity.

[0038] In one possible design, the number of steam inlets is at least two.

[0039] In this design, the number of steam inlets is set to at least two, which allows steam to enter the first chamber through multiple steam inlets, increasing the contact area between the steam and the liquid in the first chamber, and further making the liquid heated more evenly.

[0040] When there are multiple steam inlets, at least two of the steam inlets are located on the bottom wall of the first shell.

[0041] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the steam inlet is opened into the bottom wall of the first housing or the lower side wall of the first housing.

[0042] In these implementations, placing the steam inlet directly on the bottom wall of the first housing or on the lower side wall of the first housing allows the steam to tumble the liquid at the bottom of the first cavity, improving the effect of preventing the bottom of the first housing from sticking.

[0043] In one possible design, the milk tea machine further includes: a temperature acquisition device disposed in the first housing for acquiring the temperature value inside the first cavity; a control device connected to the temperature acquisition device and the steam assembly, the control device being used to respond to a heating command to control the steam assembly to input steam into the first cavity according to a first steam flow rate and a first steam quantity; and to adjust the first steam flow rate and / or the first steam quantity according to the temperature value inside the cavity.

[0044] In this design, the milk tea machine also includes a temperature acquisition device and a control device housed in the first housing. The temperature acquisition device collects the temperature value inside the first cavity. The control device is connected to the temperature acquisition device and the steam assembly. The cavity temperature value collected by the temperature acquisition device is transmitted to the control device, which controls the operation of the steam assembly based on the collected cavity temperature value. By adjusting the operating parameters of the steam assembly, the steam flow rate and steam volume output by the steam assembly to the first cavity can be adjusted.

[0045] During the beverage preparation process of the milk tea machine, upon receiving a heating command, the machine controls the steam component to power on and operate according to the operating parameters specified in the command. Specifically, the first steam flow rate and the first steam quantity are determined based on the heating command. The first steam flow rate is the velocity of the steam generated by the steam component when it enters the first chamber, and the first steam quantity is the amount of steam input into the first chamber per unit time by the steam component. The steam component is controlled to input steam into the first chamber based on the first steam flow rate and the first steam quantity. Furthermore, the progress of beverage preparation is determined based on the temperature value inside the chamber collected by the temperature acquisition device, thereby adjusting the first steam flow rate and / or the first steam quantity input by the steam component. This achieves control over the beverage preparation process of the milk tea machine.

[0046] It is worth noting that in the process of preparing milk tea using a milk tea machine, the milk tea is prepared by steam generated by the steam component. Compared with the existing technology of heating by electric heating elements, heating the milk tea with steam makes the milk tea heat more evenly, and the steam can cause the milk tea to tumble in the first chamber, avoiding the phenomenon of burning at the bottom during the preparation of milk tea.

[0047] In one possible design, the milk tea machine also includes a partition that is detachably disposed within the first housing, dividing the first cavity into a first sub-cavity and a second sub-cavity; wherein the first sub-cavity is connected to the steam inlet.

[0048] In this design, the milk tea machine also includes a detachable partition located within the first housing. The partition divides the first cavity into a first sub-cavity and a second sub-cavity, which are isolated from each other by the partition, meaning they are not connected. The first sub-cavity is connected to a steam inlet, allowing steam generated by the steam assembly to enter the first sub-cavity through the steam inlet, but preventing further flow into the second sub-cavity.

[0049] Specifically, a removable partition is installed in the first cavity of the first housing, allowing steam to enter the first sub-cavity. The steam conducts heat through the partition, heating the liquid in the second sub-cavity. When the user needs to heat the milk tea in a water bath, the partition is installed in the first housing, ensuring that steam enters the first sub-cavity, thereby facilitating heat exchange between the steam and the liquid in the second sub-cavity.

[0050] This invention achieves indirect heating of the liquid in the second sub-cavity by incorporating a detachable partition within the first housing, thus preventing steam from directly contacting the liquid and affecting its concentration. When preparing milk tea using the milk tea machine, the partition ensures uniform heating while preventing the milk tea from becoming diluted due to steam.

[0051] In some embodiments, the partition is connected to the inner wall of the first housing by threads, and a seal is provided between the partition and the first housing.

[0052] In these embodiments, by connecting the partition plate to the first housing via threads and providing a seal between the partition plate and the first housing, the sealing between the partition plate and the first housing can be ensured, thereby ensuring that the first sub-cavity and the second sub-cavity are isolated from each other and preventing steam from entering the first sub-cavity.

[0053] In one possible design, the volume of the first sub-cavity is less than or equal to the volume of the second sub-cavity.

[0054] In this design, the volume of the first sub-cavity containing steam is designed to be less than or equal to the volume of the second sub-cavity containing liquid. This ensures that while the steam heats the liquid, the second sub-cavity also has sufficient volume to hold the liquid.

[0055] In some embodiments, the ratio of the volume of the first sub-cavity to the volume of the second sub-cavity ranges from 1:5 to 1:1.

[0056] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a control method for a milk tea machine is provided. The milk tea machine includes: a first cavity, a steam assembly, and a temperature acquisition device. The steam assembly is used to input steam into the first cavity, and the temperature acquisition device is used to acquire the temperature value inside the first cavity. The method includes: responding to a heating command, controlling the steam assembly to input steam into the first cavity according to a first steam flow rate and a first steam quantity; and adjusting the first steam flow rate and / or the first steam quantity according to the temperature value inside the cavity.

[0057] The present invention proposes a control method for a milk tea machine. The milk tea machine includes a first housing, a steam inlet, and a steam assembly. A first cavity is provided within the first housing for holding the liquid to be processed. The steam inlet is located on the first housing. The steam output end of the steam assembly is connected to the steam inlet. When the steam assembly is powered on, it generates steam. The steam generated by the steam assembly enters the first cavity through the steam inlet and flows through the liquid within the first cavity.

[0058] The steam generated by the steam assembly is at a high temperature. By introducing the steam into the first chamber, it can exchange heat with the liquid contained therein, thereby heating the liquid. Compared to the existing technology of heating liquids using electric heating tubes, the contact area between steam and liquid is larger, the heating speed is faster, and the steam heats the liquid more evenly. When the steam flows through the liquid, it can cause the liquid to tumble and stir, effectively preventing scorching caused by excessive heat at the bottom of the first shell when heating liquid ingredients such as milk and milk tea that are prone to burning.

[0059] It is worth noting that the steam inlet is equipped with a one-way valve structure, which means that steam can enter the first chamber through the steam inlet equipped with a one-way valve, while the liquid in the first chamber cannot flow to the steam assembly through the steam inlet, thus avoiding the problem of liquid flowing into the steam assembly and causing damage to the steam assembly.

[0060] The milk tea machine includes: milk tea machine, electric kettle, electric teapot, and electric stew pot.

[0061] During the beverage preparation process of the milk tea machine, upon receiving a heating command, the machine controls the steam component to power on and operate according to the operating parameters specified in the command. Specifically, the first steam flow rate and the first steam quantity are determined based on the heating command. The first steam flow rate is the velocity of the steam generated by the steam component when it enters the first chamber, and the first steam quantity is the amount of steam input into the first chamber per unit time by the steam component. The steam component is controlled to input steam into the first chamber based on the first steam flow rate and the first steam quantity. Furthermore, the progress of beverage preparation is determined based on the temperature value inside the chamber collected by the temperature acquisition device, thereby adjusting the first steam flow rate and / or the first steam quantity input by the steam component. This achieves control over the beverage preparation process of the milk tea machine.

[0062] It is worth noting that in the process of preparing milk tea using a milk tea machine, the milk tea is prepared by steam generated by the steam component. Compared with the existing technology of heating by electric heating elements, heating the milk tea with steam makes the milk tea heat more evenly, and the steam can cause the milk tea to tumble in the first chamber, avoiding the phenomenon of burning at the bottom during the preparation of milk tea.

[0063] In addition, the control method for the milk tea machine in the above-described technical solution provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0064] In one possible design, the first steam flow rate and / or the first steam quantity are adjusted according to the cavity temperature value. Specifically, this includes: finding the corresponding second steam flow rate and second steam quantity according to the cavity temperature value and the corresponding relationship; and controlling the steam assembly to operate according to the second steam flow rate and the second steam quantity.

[0065] In this design, before the milk tea machine leaves the factory, it stores the correspondence between steam volume, steam flow rate, and cavity temperature in its local storage area. After the steam control component starts operating, it collects the cavity temperature value and, by looking up the corresponding relationship, determines the steam flow rate and steam volume that match the current cavity temperature.

[0066] During the process of controlling the steam assembly based on the cavity temperature value, the cavity temperature value is collected by a temperature acquisition device at set intervals, and the corresponding second steam flow rate and second steam quantity are found based on the collected cavity temperature value. The operating parameters of the steam assembly are adjusted according to the second steam flow rate and second steam quantity so that the steam output by the steam assembly conforms to the second steam flow rate and second steam quantity. This achieves control of the steam input into the first cavity based on the collected cavity temperature value, thereby improving the liquid processing effect of the milk tea machine.

[0067] In one possible design, the steam assembly includes a steam generating device, and the steps of controlling the steam assembly to operate according to a second steam flow rate and a second steam quantity specifically include: controlling the steam generating device to increase its operating power based on the second steam quantity being greater than the first steam quantity; and controlling the steam generating device to decrease its operating power based on the second steam quantity being less than the first steam quantity.

[0068] In this design, a second steam quantity is located and compared with a first steam quantity. If the second steam quantity is greater than the first steam quantity, it is determined that the amount of steam input to the first chamber needs to be increased, and the steam generator is controlled to increase its operating power, thereby increasing the amount of steam output from the steam generator. If the second steam quantity is less than the first steam quantity, it is determined that the amount of steam input to the first chamber needs to be reduced, and the steam generator is controlled to decrease its operating power, thereby reducing the amount of steam output from the steam generator.

[0069] Based on the numerical relationship between the second steam quantity and the first steam quantity, the operating power of the steam generator is accurately controlled, thereby achieving precise control of the amount of steam input into the first cavity, and thus ensuring precise control of the heating efficiency of the liquid in the first cavity by the milk tea machine.

[0070] Understandably, the greater the amount of steam input into the first chamber, the faster the heat exchange rate between the steam and the liquid in the first chamber. When it is necessary to increase the heating rate of the liquid in the first chamber, the steam generator is controlled to increase its operating power, thereby increasing the amount of steam input into the first chamber. Conversely, if it is necessary to reduce the rate of temperature rise of the liquid in the first chamber, or if it is necessary to keep the liquid in the first chamber at a lower temperature, the steam generator is controlled to decrease its operating power.

[0071] In one possible design, the steam assembly includes a steam generator, a steam passage, and a regulating valve. The regulating valve is located in the steam passage. The steps of controlling the operation of the steam assembly according to a second steam flow rate and a second steam quantity specifically include: controlling the regulating valve to decrease its opening degree based on the second steam flow rate being greater than the first steam flow rate, and / or controlling the controlling steam generator to increase its operating power; and controlling the regulating valve to increase its opening degree based on the second steam flow rate being less than the first steam flow rate, and / or controlling the controlling steam generator to decrease its operating power.

[0072] In this design, the steam assembly includes a steam generator and a steam passage. When powered on, the steam generator produces heat, which vaporizes the water entering the generator to produce steam. The steam enters the first chamber through a vent connecting the steam generator and the steam inlet. The steam passage guides the steam generated by the steam assembly to a suitable location within the first chamber. The steam assembly also includes a regulating valve installed on the steam passage; controlling the opening of the regulating valve adjusts the steam flow area of ​​the steam passage.

[0073] The second steam velocity is located and compared with the first steam velocity. If the second steam velocity is greater than the first steam velocity, it is determined that the steam velocity input to the first chamber needs to be increased. This is done by either increasing the operating power of the steam generator or decreasing the opening of the regulating valve, thereby increasing the steam velocity output by the steam generator. If the second steam velocity is less than the first steam velocity, it is determined that the steam velocity input to the first chamber needs to be decreased. This is done by either decreasing the operating power of the steam generator or increasing the opening of the regulating valve, thereby decreasing the steam velocity output by the steam generator.

[0074] It is understandable that the flow rate of steam input into the first chamber directly affects the turbulence speed of the liquid within the first chamber. To increase the turbulence speed of the liquid in the first chamber, the flow rate of steam entering the first chamber is increased; conversely, to decrease the turbulence speed of the liquid in the first chamber, the flow rate of steam entering the first chamber is decreased.

[0075] The faster the liquid tumbles, the less likely it is to burn at the bottom. However, excessive tumbling speed can lead to reduced heating efficiency and liquid splashing. Therefore, the processing progress of the liquid in the first chamber is determined based on the temperature value inside the chamber, thereby achieving precise control of the liquid tumbling speed.

[0076] It is worth noting that, with a constant flow area in the steam channel, a larger steam volume results in a faster steam flow rate, and a smaller steam volume results in a slower steam flow rate. Conversely, with a constant steam volume, a larger flow area in the steam channel leads to a slower flow rate, and a smaller flow area leads to a faster flow rate. By jointly adjusting the operating power of the steam generator and the opening of the regulating valve, a wide range of steam flow rate adjustments can be achieved. Furthermore, even with a constant steam volume, the steam flow rate can be controlled, improving the controllability of the steam input to the first chamber and enhancing the user experience.

[0077] In one possible design, the control method for the milk tea machine also includes: timing the running time of the steam component; and controlling the steam component to stop running when the set time is reached.

[0078] In this design, the operating time of the steam component is timed after it starts running. When the set operating time is detected, the steam component is controlled to stop running to prevent it from dry burning and being damaged. The automatic control of the steam component's shutdown based on its operating time avoids the risk of users forgetting to turn off the milk tea machine.

[0079] In one possible design, the milk tea machine also includes a liquid level sensor located inside the water tank to detect the liquid level parameter. Before introducing steam into the first chamber, a set duration is determined based on the water tank level. And / or, based on the liquid level parameter reaching the set level, the steam assembly is controlled to stop operating.

[0080] In this design, the set duration of the steam assembly is related to the liquid level. Based on the detected liquid level information in the water tank, the maximum continuous operating time of the steam assembly, i.e., the set duration, can be determined. By installing a liquid level sensor in the water tank and controlling the operation of the steam assembly based on the collected liquid level parameters, the occurrence of dry burning of the steam assembly can be further avoided.

[0081] In one possible design, the milk tea machine also includes a partition and a detection element. The partition is detachably disposed within the first housing, and the detection element is used to detect the installation status of the partition. The control method further includes: controlling the steam generator to operate at a first power based on the partition being in the installed state; and controlling the steam generator to operate at a second power based on the partition being in the uninstalled state; wherein the first power is greater than the second power.

[0082] In this design, the milk tea machine also includes a detachable partition located within the first housing. The partition divides the first cavity into a first sub-cavity and a second sub-cavity, which are isolated from each other by the partition, meaning they are not connected. The first sub-cavity is connected to a steam inlet, allowing steam generated by the steam assembly to enter the first sub-cavity through the steam inlet, but preventing further flow into the second sub-cavity.

[0083] The milk tea machine also includes a detection component that can monitor the installation status of the partition. When the partition is detected to be installed on the first housing, it is determined that the steam does not need to directly contact the liquid, meaning the steam demand is low; therefore, the steam generator is controlled at a lower first power. When the partition is detected not to be installed on the first housing, it is determined that the steam needs to directly contact the liquid, meaning the steam demand is higher; therefore, the steam generator is controlled at a higher second power.

[0084] It is understandable that when users cook milk tea using a milk tea machine, if they choose to cook without a partition, that is, by heating the liquid directly through steam, the amount of water added can be reduced during the cooking process. This is because the steam can increase the amount of liquid in the first chamber during the heating process.

[0085] This invention selects the operating power of the steam generator by detecting the presence of the baffle, thereby ensuring the heating effect on the liquid while reducing energy waste.

[0086] According to a third aspect of the present invention, a control device for a milk tea machine is provided, comprising: a control unit for controlling a steam assembly to input steam into a first cavity according to a first steam flow rate and a first steam quantity in response to a heating command; and an adjustment unit for adjusting the first steam flow rate and / or the first steam quantity according to the cavity temperature value.

[0087] The control device for a milk tea machine provided by this invention is configured to control the milk tea machine. The milk tea machine includes a first housing, a steam inlet, and a steam assembly. A first cavity is provided within the first housing for containing the liquid to be processed. The steam inlet is located on the first housing. The steam output end of the steam assembly is connected to the steam inlet. When the steam assembly is energized, it generates steam. The steam generated by the steam assembly enters the first cavity through the steam inlet and flows through the liquid within the first cavity.

[0088] The steam generated by the steam assembly is at a high temperature. By introducing the steam into the first chamber, it can exchange heat with the liquid contained therein, thereby heating the liquid. Compared to the existing technology of heating liquids using electric heating tubes, the contact area between steam and liquid is larger, the heating speed is faster, and the steam heats the liquid more evenly. When the steam flows through the liquid, it can cause the liquid to tumble and stir, effectively preventing scorching caused by excessive heat at the bottom of the first shell when heating liquid ingredients such as milk and milk tea that are prone to burning.

[0089] It is worth noting that the steam inlet is equipped with a one-way valve structure, which means that steam can enter the first chamber through the steam inlet equipped with a one-way valve, while the liquid in the first chamber cannot flow to the steam assembly through the steam inlet, thus avoiding the problem of liquid flowing into the steam assembly and causing damage to the steam assembly.

[0090] The milk tea machine includes: milk tea machine, electric kettle, electric teapot, and electric stew pot.

[0091] During the beverage preparation process of the milk tea machine, upon receiving a heating command, the control unit controls the steam assembly to power on and operate according to the operating parameters in the heating command. Specifically, the first steam flow rate and the first steam quantity are determined according to the heating command, where the first steam flow rate is the flow rate of steam generated by the steam assembly when it is input into the first cavity, and the first steam quantity is the amount of steam input into the first cavity per unit time by the steam assembly. The steam assembly is controlled to input steam into the first cavity based on the first steam flow rate and the first steam quantity. The adjustment unit determines the progress of beverage preparation based on the temperature value inside the cavity collected by the temperature acquisition device, thereby adjusting the first steam flow rate and / or the first steam quantity of steam input into the steam assembly. This achieves control over the beverage preparation process of the milk tea machine.

[0092] It is worth noting that in the process of preparing milk tea using a milk tea machine, the milk tea is prepared by steam generated by the steam component. Compared with the existing technology of heating by electric heating elements, heating the milk tea with steam makes the milk tea heat more evenly, and the steam can cause the milk tea to tumble in the first chamber, avoiding the phenomenon of burning at the bottom during the preparation of milk tea.

Detailed Implementation

[0110] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof can be combined with each other.

[0111] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0112] The following reference Figures 1 to 11 This invention describes a milk tea machine, a control method for a milk tea machine, a control device for a milk tea machine, a milk tea machine, and a readable storage medium according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0113] Example 1:

[0114] like Figure 1 As shown, in the first embodiment of the present invention, a milk tea machine 100 is provided, including: a first housing 120, a steam inlet 124, a housing 160, and a steam assembly 140.

[0115] The first housing 120 is provided with a first cavity 122;

[0116] Steam inlet 124 is disposed in the first housing 120 and is connected to the first cavity 122;

[0117] The receiving member 160 is detachably disposed in the first cavity 122, and the receiving member 160 includes a second cavity 162, which is connected to the first cavity 122. The steam assembly 140 is connected to the steam inlet 124 and is used to supply steam to the first cavity 122 through the steam inlet 124.

[0118] The milk tea machine 100 provided in this embodiment includes a first housing 120, a steam inlet 124, and a steam assembly 140. A first cavity 122 is provided in the first housing 120 for containing the liquid to be processed. The steam inlet 124 is opened on the first housing 120. The steam output end of the steam assembly 140 is connected to the steam inlet 124. The steam assembly 140 generates steam when powered on, and the steam generated by the steam assembly 140 can enter the first cavity 122 through the steam inlet 124, and the steam flows through the liquid in the first cavity 122.

[0119] A second cavity 162 is provided within the container 160. The container 160 is located within the first cavity 122, and the second cavity 162 of the container 160 is interconnected with the first cavity 122, meaning that liquid in the first cavity 122 can enter the second cavity 162. The second cavity 162 of the container 160 is used to hold solid ingredients, such as tea leaves, tea powder, coffee powder, etc. The solid ingredients are placed in the second cavity 162 of the container 160, and then the container 160 is installed into the first cavity 122. This allows the liquid in the first cavity 122 to fully soak the solid ingredients in the container 160, ensuring complete extraction of the effective substances from the solid ingredients. By incorporating the container 160 into the milk tea machine 100, the milk tea machine 100 can brew tea or coffee.

[0120] It is understood that the accommodating member 160 is provided with multiple through holes, which are evenly distributed on the outer side wall of the accommodating member 160. The first cavity 122 and the second cavity 162 are connected through the multiple through holes, ensuring that the solid food in the first cavity 122 cannot enter the second cavity 162 through the through holes, while the liquid food in the second cavity 162 can enter the second cavity 162 through the through holes.

[0121] A steam inlet 124 is located on the bottom wall of the first housing 120. After steam enters the first cavity 122 through the steam inlet 124 on the bottom wall of the first housing 120, the steam can move from bottom to top, thereby causing the liquid near the bottom wall of the first housing 120 to tumble, further reducing the possibility of slagging in the liquid at the bottom of the first cavity 122. Furthermore, by directly introducing steam into the first cavity 122, allowing the steam to move from bottom to top within the first cavity 122, backflow of liquid in the first cavity 122 can be prevented.

[0122] The steam generated by the steam component 140 is at a high temperature. By introducing the steam into the first cavity 122, it can exchange heat with the liquid contained in the first cavity 122, thereby heating the liquid. Compared with the existing technology of heating liquids by electric heating tubes, the contact area between steam and liquid is larger, the heating speed is faster, and the steam heats the liquid more evenly. When the steam flows through the liquid, it can cause the liquid to tumble and stir, effectively preventing scorching caused by excessive heat at the bottom of the first housing 120 when heating liquid ingredients that are prone to burning, such as milk and milk tea.

[0123] It is worth noting that the steam inlet 124 is equipped with a one-way valve structure, which means that steam can enter the first chamber 122 through the steam inlet 124 equipped with a one-way valve, while the liquid in the first chamber 122 cannot flow to the position of the steam assembly 140 through the steam inlet 124, thus avoiding the problem of liquid flowing into the steam assembly 140 and causing damage to the steam assembly 140.

[0124] In some embodiments, the steam assembly 140 is capable of outputting steam within a heating temperature range according to control commands.

[0125] In these embodiments, users can select to heat the liquid with steam at different temperatures depending on the type of liquid ingredient. The heating temperature range is from 100°C to 300°C.

[0126] For example, when a user needs to rapidly boil a liquid, steam at a temperature above 200°C can be selected to heat the liquid, thereby improving the heating efficiency. When a user needs to keep a liquid at a certain temperature, steam at 100°C can be selected to heat the liquid.

[0127] In any of the above embodiments, the steam assembly 140 includes a steam generator 142 and a steam passage 144.

[0128] One end of the steam passage 144 is connected to the steam inlet 124, and the other end of the steam passage 144 is connected to the steam outlet of the steam generator 142.

[0129] In this embodiment, the steam assembly 140 includes a steam generator 142 and a steam channel 144. When powered on, the steam generator 142 generates heat, causing water entering the steam generator 142 to vaporize and produce steam. The steam enters the first cavity 122 through a ventilation channel connecting the steam generator 142 and the steam inlet 124. The steam channel 144 guides the steam generated by the steam assembly 140 to a suitable location within the first cavity 122. Connecting the steam inlet 124 to the steam assembly 140 via the steam channel 144 avoids the problem of the steam assembly 140 overheating and failing due to being too close to the first cavity 122.

[0130] In any of the above embodiments, the steam assembly 140 further includes a regulating valve 146.

[0131] The regulating valve is located in the steam passage 144, and the regulating valve 146 can adjust the flow area of ​​the steam passage 144.

[0132] In this embodiment, the steam assembly 140 also includes a regulating valve 146 disposed on the steam passage 144, and the opening degree of the regulating valve 146 can be controlled to adjust the steam flow area of ​​the steam passage 144.

[0133] When it is necessary to stop heating the liquid in the first chamber 122, the steam generator 142 is stopped. At this time, the steam generator 142 is de-energized and no longer heats the water inside. However, the heat generated will still cause the steam generator 142 to produce a small amount of steam. By closing the regulating valve 146, the steam can be prevented from entering the first chamber 122 through the steam channel 144. This prevents a small amount of steam from entering the first chamber 122 when the user needs to stop heating the liquid, allowing for precise control of the amount of steam entering the first chamber 122.

[0134] With the total amount of steam generated by the steam generator 142 remaining constant, the steam flow rate can be adjusted by controlling the regulating valve 146 on the steam passage 144.

[0135] Specifically, when the steam generator 142 operates at a constant power, the amount of steam generated by the steam generator 142 per unit time remains constant. At this time, if the opening of the control valve 146 is increased, the flow area of ​​the steam passage 144 is increased, thereby reducing the steam velocity within the steam passage 144. This results in a slower steam velocity entering the first chamber 122, reducing the steam's agitation effect on the liquid within the first chamber 122. Conversely, if the opening of the control valve 146 is decreased, the flow area of ​​the steam passage 144 is decreased, thereby increasing the steam velocity within the steam passage 144. This results in a faster steam velocity entering the first chamber 122, increasing the overall steam velocity within the steam passage 144.

[0136] By installing a corresponding regulating valve 146 on the steam passage 144 of the steam assembly 140, the adjustment range of the steam flow rate is increased. Users can adjust the steam flow rate entering the first chamber 122 not only by adjusting the power of the steam assembly, but also by adjusting the regulating valve 146. This achieves the effect of adjusting the steam flow rate without adjusting the power of the steam generator 142, thus improving the user experience.

[0137] In any of the above embodiments, the steam assembly 140 further includes a water storage tank 148. The water storage tank 148 is connected to the steam generator 142.

[0138] In this embodiment, the steam assembly 140 also includes a water tank 148 connected to the steam generator 142. The water tank 148 is used to replenish water to the steam generator 142. Before the milk tea machine 100 starts processing the liquid, the water tank 148 is filled with water. When the steam generator 142 is powered on, it can vaporize the water to generate steam. The water in the water tank 148 can be continuously replenished to the steam generator 142, enabling the steam generator 142 to continuously generate steam.

[0139] In some embodiments, the water tank 148 is detachably mounted on the milk tea machine 100.

[0140] In these embodiments, the water tank 148 in the steam assembly 140 can be disassembled relative to the milk tea machine 100, which facilitates daily cleaning of the water tank 148 by the user, prevents dirt and grime from accumulating inside the water tank 148 due to prolonged lack of cleaning, and further improves the user experience.

[0141] In any of the above embodiments, the milk tea machine further includes: a second housing 150 connected to the bottom wall of the first housing 120, the second housing 150 including a third cavity 152, the third cavity 152 communicating with the first cavity 122 through a steam inlet; and a liquid outlet assembly 154 disposed in the second housing 150, the liquid outlet assembly 154 communicating with the third cavity 152.

[0142] In this design, the milk tea machine also includes a second housing 150 and a liquid dispensing assembly 154 disposed on the second housing 150. The second housing 150 is connected to the bottom wall of the first housing 120. A third cavity 152 is disposed in the second housing 150, and the third cavity 152 is connected to the first cavity 122 through a steam inlet. The steam outlet of the steam assembly 140 is connected to the third cavity 152, that is, the steam output from the steam outlet of the steam assembly 140 enters the first cavity 122 after passing through the third cavity 152 and the steam inlet in sequence.

[0143] The liquid outlet assembly 154 is connected to the third chamber 152 via its liquid inlet. The liquid outlet assembly 154 includes a liquid outlet pipe, a pump body, and a valve body, the valve body including a solenoid valve. When the steam assembly 140 stops operating, the liquid in the first chamber 122 can flow back to the third chamber 152 through the steam inlet.

[0144] Specifically, after the steam component 140 stops operating, the control valve opens, and the control body starts operating. The liquid in the first chamber 122 flows into the third chamber 152. Under the action of the pump, the liquid stored in the third chamber 152 is discharged from the milk tea machine through the liquid outlet pipe.

[0145] It is worth noting that the first housing 120 and the second housing 150 are integrally formed, or the first housing 120 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the second housing 150.

[0146] The present invention provides a liquid dispensing component 154 on the second housing 150 of the milk tea machine, and the liquid dispensing component 154 is connected to the third cavity 152 in the second housing 150. The liquid dispensing component 154 enables the liquid in the first cavity 122 to be discharged from the milk tea machine through the third cavity 152.

[0147] In any of the above embodiments, the number of steam inlets 124 is at least two.

[0148] In this embodiment, the number of steam inlets 124 is set to at least two, which allows steam to enter the first cavity 122 through multiple steam inlets 124, increasing the contact area between the steam and the liquid in the first cavity 122, and further making the liquid more uniformly heated.

[0149] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the steam inlet 124 is formed in the bottom wall of the first housing 120, or the lower side wall of the first housing 120.

[0150] In these implementations, by directly setting the steam inlet 124 at the bottom wall of the first housing 120 or at the lower side wall of the first housing 120, the steam can cause the liquid at the bottom of the first cavity 122 to tumble, thereby improving the effect of preventing the bottom of the first housing 120 from sticking.

[0151] In any of the above embodiments, the milk tea machine 100 further includes a temperature acquisition device and a control device.

[0152] The temperature acquisition device is disposed in the first housing 120 and is used to collect the temperature value inside the first cavity 122.

[0153] The control device is connected to the temperature acquisition device and the steam assembly 140. The control device is used to respond to the heating command and control the steam assembly 140 to input steam into the first cavity 122 according to the first steam flow rate and the first steam quantity; and to adjust the first steam flow rate and / or the first steam quantity according to the temperature value inside the cavity.

[0154] In this embodiment, the milk tea machine 100 further includes a temperature acquisition device and a control device disposed in the first housing 120. The temperature acquisition device is capable of collecting the internal temperature value of the first cavity 122. The control device is connected to the temperature acquisition device and the steam assembly 140. The internal temperature value collected by the temperature acquisition device is transmitted to the control device, and the control device controls the operation of the steam assembly 140 according to the collected internal temperature value. By adjusting the operating parameters of the steam assembly 140, the steam flow rate and steam volume of the steam output by the steam assembly 140 to the first cavity 122 can be adjusted.

[0155] During the beverage preparation process of the milk tea machine 100, upon receiving a heating command, the steam component 140 is powered on and operated according to the operating parameters in the heating command. Specifically, the first steam flow rate and the first steam quantity are determined according to the heating command. The first steam flow rate is the flow rate of steam generated by the steam component 140 when it is input into the first cavity 122, and the first steam quantity is the amount of steam input by the steam component 140 into the first cavity 122 per unit time. The steam component 140 is controlled to input steam into the first cavity 122 based on the first steam flow rate and the first steam quantity. The beverage preparation progress is determined based on the temperature value inside the cavity collected by the temperature acquisition device, thereby adjusting the first steam flow rate and / or the first steam quantity of the steam input by the steam component 140. This achieves control over the beverage preparation process of the milk tea machine 100.

[0156] It is worth noting that in the process of preparing milk tea by the milk tea machine 100, the milk tea is prepared by the steam generated by the steam component 140. Compared with the existing technology of heating by electric heating element, heating the milk tea by steam makes the milk tea heat more evenly, and the steam can make the milk tea roll in the first cavity 122, avoiding the phenomenon of burning at the bottom during the preparation of milk tea.

[0157] like Figure 2 As shown, in any of the above embodiments, the milk tea machine 100 further includes a partition 170, which is detachably disposed in the first housing 120. The partition 170 divides the first cavity 122 into a first sub-cavity 1222 and a second sub-cavity 1224. The first sub-cavity 1222 is connected to the steam inlet 124.

[0158] In this embodiment, the milk tea machine 100 further includes a partition 170 detachably disposed in the first housing 120. The partition 170 is located within the first cavity 122 and divides the first cavity 122 into a first sub-cavity 1222 and a second sub-cavity 1224. The first sub-cavity 1222 and the second sub-cavity 1224 are isolated from each other by the partition 170, meaning that the first sub-cavity 1222 and the second sub-cavity 1224 are not connected. The first sub-cavity 1222 is connected to the steam inlet 124. Steam generated by the steam assembly can enter the first sub-cavity 1222 through the steam inlet 124, but will not continue to flow into the second sub-cavity 1224.

[0159] Specifically, a removable partition 170 is provided inside the first cavity 122 of the first housing 120, allowing steam to enter the first sub-cavity 1222. The steam conducts heat through the partition 170, heating the liquid in the second sub-cavity 1224. When the user needs to heat the milk tea in a water bath, the partition 170 is installed in the first housing 120, ensuring that steam enters the first sub-cavity 1222, thereby facilitating heat exchange between the steam and the liquid in the second sub-cavity 1224.

[0160] In this embodiment, a detachable partition 170 is provided within the first housing 120, enabling indirect heating of the liquid in the second sub-cavity 1224 by steam, thus avoiding contact between steam and liquid and affecting the liquid concentration. During the milk tea preparation process using the milk tea machine 100, the partition 170 ensures uniform heating while preventing the milk tea concentration from becoming diluted due to steam.

[0161] In some embodiments, the partition 170 is connected to the inner wall of the first housing 120 by threads, and a seal is provided between the partition 170 and the first housing 120.

[0162] In these embodiments, by connecting the partition 170 to the first housing 120 by threads and providing a seal between the partition 170 and the first housing 120, the sealing between the partition 170 and the first housing 120 can be guaranteed, thereby ensuring that the first sub-cavity 1222 and the second sub-cavity 1224 are isolated from each other and preventing steam from entering the first sub-cavity 1222.

[0163] In any of the above embodiments, the volume of the first sub-cavity 1222 is less than or equal to the volume of the second sub-cavity 1224.

[0164] In this embodiment, the volume of the first sub-cavity 1222 that contains steam is designed to be less than or equal to the volume of the second sub-cavity 1224 that contains liquid. This ensures that while the steam heats the liquid, the second sub-cavity 1224 also has sufficient volume to contain the liquid.

[0165] In some embodiments, the ratio of the volume of the first sub-cavity 1222 to the volume of the second sub-cavity 1224 ranges from 1:5 to 1:1.

[0166] Example 2:

[0167] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the second embodiment of the present invention, a milk tea preparation method is provided for use with the milk tea machine in the first embodiment above.

[0168] Milk tea preparation methods include:

[0169] Step 302: Fill the water tank with water;

[0170] Step 304: Add fresh milk and additives that do not need to be separated into the first chamber;

[0171] Step 306: Add the tea leaves and the additives to be separated into the second cavity;

[0172] Step 308: Control the operation of the steam assembly;

[0173] Step 310: Collect the temperature value inside the cavity using a temperature acquisition device, and adjust the steam output and steam flow rate of the steam assembly based on the temperature value inside the cavity.

[0174] In this embodiment, steam serves as the heating source. Steam enters the first shell from the bottom of the first cavity and rises rapidly, exchanging heat with the contents of the first cavity during its ascent. Because the steam heat exchange rate is fast and the heat exchange with the contents of the first cavity is relatively uniform, there will be no high-temperature spots on the wall surface of the first shell, and no scorching will occur.

[0175] After the steam enters the first shell from the bottom, it will rise rapidly because the density of gas is much less than that of water. During the rise, it will cause the contents of the first cavity to tumble, further preventing the bottom of the first shell from sticking together.

[0176] Example 3:

[0177] like Figure 5 As shown, a control method for a milk tea machine is provided in the third embodiment of the present invention.

[0178] The milk tea machine includes: a first chamber, a steam assembly, and a temperature acquisition device.

[0179] The steam assembly is used to input steam into the first cavity, and the temperature acquisition device is used to acquire the temperature value inside the first cavity.

[0180] The control methods for milk tea machines include:

[0181] Step 402: Receive heating command, and determine the first steam quantity and first steam flow rate according to the heating command;

[0182] Step 404: Based on the first steam quantity and the first steam flow rate, control the steam assembly to input steam into the first cavity;

[0183] Step 406: Obtain the temperature value inside the cavity, and adjust the first steam quantity and / or the first steam flow rate according to the temperature value inside the cavity.

[0184] The control method for the milk tea machine proposed in this embodiment is used to control the milk tea machine. The milk tea machine includes a first housing, a steam inlet, and a steam assembly. A first cavity is provided in the first housing for containing the liquid to be processed. The steam inlet is opened on the first housing. The steam output end of the steam assembly is connected to the steam inlet. When the steam assembly is powered on, it can generate steam. The steam generated by the steam assembly can enter the first cavity through the steam inlet, and the steam flows through the liquid in the first cavity.

[0185] The steam generated by the steam assembly is at a high temperature. By introducing the steam into the first chamber, it can exchange heat with the liquid contained therein, thereby heating the liquid. Compared to the existing technology of heating liquids using electric heating tubes, the contact area between steam and liquid is larger, the heating speed is faster, and the steam heats the liquid more evenly. When the steam flows through the liquid, it can cause the liquid to tumble and stir, effectively preventing scorching caused by excessive heat at the bottom of the first shell when heating liquid ingredients such as milk and milk tea that are prone to burning.

[0186] It is worth noting that the steam inlet is equipped with a one-way valve structure, which means that steam can enter the first chamber through the steam inlet equipped with a one-way valve, while the liquid in the first chamber cannot flow to the steam assembly through the steam inlet, thus avoiding the problem of liquid flowing into the steam assembly and causing damage to the steam assembly.

[0187] The milk tea machine includes: milk tea machine, electric kettle, electric teapot, and electric stew pot.

[0188] During the beverage preparation process of the milk tea machine, upon receiving a heating command, the machine controls the steam component to power on and operate according to the operating parameters specified in the command. Specifically, the first steam flow rate and the first steam quantity are determined based on the heating command. The first steam flow rate is the velocity of the steam generated by the steam component when it enters the first chamber, and the first steam quantity is the amount of steam input into the first chamber per unit time by the steam component. The steam component is controlled to input steam into the first chamber based on the first steam flow rate and the first steam quantity. Furthermore, the progress of beverage preparation is determined based on the temperature value inside the chamber collected by the temperature acquisition device, thereby adjusting the first steam flow rate and / or the first steam quantity input by the steam component. This achieves control over the beverage preparation process of the milk tea machine.

[0189] It is worth noting that in the process of preparing milk tea using a milk tea machine, the milk tea is prepared by steam generated by the steam component. Compared with the existing technology of heating by electric heating elements, heating the milk tea with steam makes the milk tea heat more evenly, and the steam can cause the milk tea to tumble in the first chamber, avoiding the phenomenon of burning at the bottom during the preparation of milk tea.

[0190] like Figure 6 As shown, in any of the above embodiments, the step of adjusting the first steam quantity and / or the second steam flow rate according to the cavity temperature value specifically includes:

[0191] Step 502: Based on the correspondence and the temperature value inside the cavity, determine the second steam quantity and the second steam flow rate;

[0192] Step 504: Control the steam assembly to operate according to the second steam quantity and the second steam flow rate.

[0193] In this embodiment, before the milk tea machine leaves the factory, a correspondence between steam quantity, steam flow rate, and cavity temperature value is stored in the local storage area. After the steam component starts operating, the cavity temperature value is collected, and the steam flow rate and steam quantity that match the current cavity temperature value can be determined by looking up the corresponding relationship.

[0194] During the process of controlling the steam assembly based on the cavity temperature value, the cavity temperature value is collected by a temperature acquisition device at set intervals, and the corresponding second steam flow rate and second steam quantity are found based on the collected cavity temperature value. The operating parameters of the steam assembly are adjusted according to the second steam flow rate and second steam quantity so that the steam output by the steam assembly conforms to the second steam flow rate and second steam quantity. This achieves control of the steam input into the first cavity based on the collected cavity temperature value, thereby improving the liquid processing effect of the milk tea machine.

[0195] like Figure 7 As shown, in any of the above embodiments, the steam assembly includes a steam generating device.

[0196] The steps for controlling the steam assembly to operate according to the second steam quantity specifically include:

[0197] Step 602: Determine that the second steam quantity is greater than the first steam quantity, and control the steam generator to increase its operating power;

[0198] Step 604: Determine that the second steam quantity is less than the first steam quantity, and control the steam generator to reduce its operating power.

[0199] In this embodiment, a second steam quantity is located and compared with a first steam quantity. If the second steam quantity is greater than the first steam quantity, it is determined that the amount of steam input to the first chamber needs to be increased, and the steam generator is controlled to increase its operating power, thereby increasing the amount of steam output by the steam generator. If the second steam quantity is less than the first steam quantity, it is determined that the amount of steam input to the first chamber needs to be reduced, and the steam generator is controlled to decrease its operating power, thereby reducing the amount of steam output by the steam generator.

[0200] Based on the numerical relationship between the second steam quantity and the first steam quantity, the operating power of the steam generator is accurately controlled, thereby achieving precise control of the amount of steam input into the first cavity, and thus ensuring precise control of the heating efficiency of the liquid in the first cavity by the milk tea machine.

[0201] Understandably, the greater the amount of steam input into the first chamber, the faster the heat exchange rate between the steam and the liquid in the first chamber. When it is necessary to increase the heating rate of the liquid in the first chamber, the steam generator is controlled to increase its operating power, thereby increasing the amount of steam input into the first chamber. Conversely, if it is necessary to reduce the rate of temperature rise of the liquid in the first chamber, or if it is necessary to keep the liquid in the first chamber at a lower temperature, the steam generator is controlled to decrease its operating power.

[0202] like Figure 8As shown, in any of the above embodiments, the steam assembly includes a steam generator, a steam passage, and a regulating valve, with the regulating valve disposed in the steam passage.

[0203] The steps for controlling the steam assembly according to the second steam flow rate specifically include:

[0204] Step 702: Determine that the second steam velocity is greater than the first steam velocity, control the regulating valve to reduce its opening, and / or control the steam generator to increase its operating power;

[0205] Step 704: Determine that the second steam velocity is less than the first steam velocity, control the regulating valve to increase its opening, and / or control the steam generator to reduce its operating power.

[0206] In this embodiment, the steam assembly includes a steam generator and a steam channel. When the steam generator is powered on, it generates heat, causing water entering the steam generator to vaporize and produce steam. The steam enters the first chamber through a vent channel connecting the steam generator and the steam inlet. The steam channel guides the steam generated by the steam assembly to a suitable location within the first chamber. The steam assembly also includes a regulating valve installed on the steam channel; controlling the opening of the regulating valve adjusts the steam flow area of ​​the steam channel.

[0207] The second steam velocity is located and compared with the first steam velocity. If the second steam velocity is greater than the first steam velocity, it is determined that the steam velocity input to the first chamber needs to be increased. This is done by either increasing the operating power of the steam generator or decreasing the opening of the regulating valve, thereby increasing the steam velocity output by the steam generator. If the second steam velocity is less than the first steam velocity, it is determined that the steam velocity input to the first chamber needs to be decreased. This is done by either decreasing the operating power of the steam generator or increasing the opening of the regulating valve, thereby decreasing the steam velocity output by the steam generator.

[0208] It is understandable that the flow rate of steam input into the first chamber directly affects the turbulence speed of the liquid within the first chamber. To increase the turbulence speed of the liquid in the first chamber, the flow rate of steam entering the first chamber is increased; conversely, to decrease the turbulence speed of the liquid in the first chamber, the flow rate of steam entering the first chamber is decreased.

[0209] The faster the liquid tumbles, the less likely it is to burn at the bottom. However, excessive tumbling speed can lead to reduced heating efficiency and liquid splashing. Therefore, the processing progress of the liquid in the first chamber is determined based on the temperature value inside the chamber, thereby achieving precise control of the liquid tumbling speed.

[0210] It is worth noting that, with a constant flow area in the steam channel, a larger steam volume results in a faster steam flow rate, and a smaller steam volume results in a slower steam flow rate. Conversely, with a constant steam volume, a larger flow area in the steam channel leads to a slower flow rate, and a smaller flow area leads to a faster flow rate. By jointly adjusting the operating power of the steam generator and the opening of the regulating valve, a wide range of steam flow rate adjustments can be achieved. Furthermore, even with a constant steam volume, the steam flow rate can be controlled, improving the controllability of the steam input to the first chamber and enhancing the user experience.

[0211] like Figure 9 As shown, in any of the above embodiments, the control method for the milk tea machine further includes:

[0212] Step 802: Obtain the runtime of the steam component;

[0213] Step 804: Determine whether the running time has reached the set time. If the result is yes, proceed to step 806; otherwise, return to step 802.

[0214] Step 806: Control the steam assembly to stop operating.

[0215] In this embodiment, after the steam component starts operating, its operating time is timed. When the set operating time is detected, the steam component is controlled to stop operating to prevent it from dry burning and being damaged. Automatic control of the steam component's shutdown based on its operating time avoids the risk of the user forgetting to turn off the milk tea machine.

[0216] In any of the above embodiments, the milk tea machine further includes a liquid level sensor disposed inside the water tank to detect the liquid level parameter of the water tank. Before introducing steam into the first chamber, a set duration is determined based on the liquid level in the water tank. And / or, based on the liquid level parameter reaching the set liquid level, the steam assembly is controlled to stop operating.

[0217] In this embodiment, the set duration of the steam assembly is related to the liquid level. Based on the detected liquid level information in the water tank, the maximum continuous operating time of the steam assembly, i.e., the set duration, can be determined. By installing a liquid level sensor in the water tank and controlling the operation of the steam assembly based on the collected liquid level parameters, the occurrence of dry burning of the steam assembly can be further avoided.

[0218] In any of the above embodiments, the milk tea machine further includes a partition and a detection element. The partition is detachably disposed within the first housing, and the detection element is used to detect the installation status of the partition. The control method further includes:

[0219] With the diaphragm in the installed state, the steam generator is controlled to operate at the first power.

[0220] Since the diaphragm is not installed, the steam generator is controlled to operate at the second power.

[0221] The first power is greater than the second power.

[0222] In this embodiment, the milk tea machine also includes a detachable partition disposed in the first housing. The partition is located within the first cavity and divides the first cavity into a first sub-cavity and a second sub-cavity. The first sub-cavity and the second sub-cavity are isolated from each other by the partition, meaning they are not connected. The first sub-cavity is connected to a steam inlet, allowing steam generated by the steam assembly to enter the first sub-cavity through the steam inlet, but it will not continue to flow into the second sub-cavity.

[0223] The milk tea machine also includes a detection component that can monitor the installation status of the partition. When the partition is detected to be installed on the first housing, it is determined that the steam does not need to directly contact the liquid, meaning the steam demand is low; therefore, the steam generator is controlled at a lower first power. When the partition is detected not to be installed on the first housing, it is determined that the steam needs to directly contact the liquid, meaning the steam demand is higher; therefore, the steam generator is controlled at a higher second power.

[0224] It is understandable that when users cook milk tea using a milk tea machine, if they choose to cook without a partition, that is, by heating the liquid directly through steam, the amount of water added can be reduced during the cooking process. This is because the steam can increase the amount of liquid in the first chamber during the heating process.

[0225] This invention selects the operating power of the steam generator by detecting the presence of the baffle, thereby ensuring the heating effect on the liquid while reducing energy waste.

[0226] Example 4:

[0227] like Figure 10 As shown, a fourth embodiment of the present invention provides a control device 900 for a milk tea machine, comprising:

[0228] The control unit 902 is used to receive a heating command, determine a first steam quantity and a first steam flow rate according to the heating command, and control the steam assembly to input steam into the first cavity according to the first steam quantity and the first steam flow rate.

[0229] The adjustment unit 904 is used to acquire the temperature value inside the cavity and adjust the first steam quantity and / or the first steam flow rate according to the temperature value inside the cavity.

[0230] The control device 900 for a milk tea machine provided by this invention is configured to control the milk tea machine. The milk tea machine includes a first housing, a steam inlet, and a steam assembly. A first cavity is provided in the first housing for containing the liquid to be processed. The steam inlet is located on the first housing. The steam output end of the steam assembly is connected to the steam inlet. When the steam assembly is energized, it generates steam. The steam generated by the steam assembly enters the first cavity through the steam inlet and flows through the liquid in the first cavity.

[0231] The steam generated by the steam assembly is at a high temperature. By introducing the steam into the first chamber, it can exchange heat with the liquid contained therein, thereby heating the liquid. Compared to the existing technology of heating liquids using electric heating tubes, the contact area between steam and liquid is larger, the heating speed is faster, and the steam heats the liquid more evenly. When the steam flows through the liquid, it can cause the liquid to tumble and stir, effectively preventing scorching caused by excessive heat at the bottom of the first shell when heating liquid ingredients such as milk and milk tea that are prone to burning.

[0232] It is worth noting that the steam inlet is equipped with a one-way valve structure, which means that steam can enter the first chamber through the steam inlet equipped with a one-way valve, while the liquid in the first chamber cannot flow to the steam assembly through the steam inlet, thus avoiding the problem of liquid flowing into the steam assembly and causing damage to the steam assembly.

[0233] The milk tea machine includes: milk tea machine, electric kettle, electric teapot, and electric stew pot.

[0234] During the beverage preparation process of the milk tea machine, upon receiving a heating command, the control unit 902 controls the steam assembly to power on and operate according to the operating parameters in the heating command. Specifically, the first steam flow rate and the first steam quantity are determined according to the heating command, where the first steam flow rate is the flow rate of steam generated by the steam assembly when it is input into the first cavity, and the first steam quantity is the amount of steam input into the first cavity per unit time by the steam assembly. The steam assembly is controlled to input steam into the first cavity based on the first steam flow rate and the first steam quantity. The adjustment unit 904 determines the progress of beverage preparation based on the cavity temperature value collected by the temperature acquisition device, thereby adjusting the first steam flow rate and / or the first steam quantity of steam input into the steam assembly. This achieves control over the beverage preparation process of the milk tea machine.

[0235] It is worth noting that in the process of preparing milk tea using a milk tea machine, the milk tea is prepared by steam generated by the steam component. Compared with the existing technology of heating by electric heating elements, heating the milk tea with steam makes the milk tea heat more evenly, and the steam can cause the milk tea to tumble in the first chamber, avoiding the phenomenon of burning at the bottom during the preparation of milk tea.

[0236] In any of the above embodiments, the adjustment unit 904 is specifically used to determine the second steam quantity and the second steam flow rate based on the correspondence and the temperature value inside the cavity; and to control the steam assembly to operate according to the second steam quantity and the second steam flow rate.

[0237] In this embodiment, before the milk tea machine leaves the factory, a correspondence between steam quantity, steam flow rate, and cavity temperature value is stored in the local storage area. After the steam component starts operating, the cavity temperature value is collected, and the steam flow rate and steam quantity that match the current cavity temperature value can be determined by looking up the corresponding relationship.

[0238] During the process of controlling the steam assembly based on the cavity temperature value, the cavity temperature value is collected by a temperature acquisition device at set intervals, and the corresponding second steam flow rate and second steam quantity are found based on the collected cavity temperature value. The operating parameters of the steam assembly are adjusted according to the second steam flow rate and second steam quantity so that the steam output by the steam assembly conforms to the second steam flow rate and second steam quantity. This achieves control of the steam input into the first cavity based on the collected cavity temperature value, thereby improving the liquid processing effect of the milk tea machine.

[0239] In any of the above embodiments, the adjustment unit 904 is specifically used to determine that the second steam quantity is greater than the first steam quantity and control the steam generating device to increase its operating power; or to determine that the second steam quantity is less than the first steam quantity and control the steam generating device to decrease its operating power.

[0240] In this embodiment, a second steam quantity is located and compared with a first steam quantity. If the second steam quantity is greater than the first steam quantity, it is determined that the amount of steam input to the first chamber needs to be increased, and the steam generator is controlled to increase its operating power, thereby increasing the amount of steam output by the steam generator. If the second steam quantity is less than the first steam quantity, it is determined that the amount of steam input to the first chamber needs to be reduced, and the steam generator is controlled to decrease its operating power, thereby reducing the amount of steam output by the steam generator.

[0241] Based on the numerical relationship between the second steam quantity and the first steam quantity, the operating power of the steam generator is accurately controlled, thereby achieving precise control of the amount of steam input into the first cavity, and thus ensuring precise control of the heating efficiency of the liquid in the first cavity by the milk tea machine.

[0242] Understandably, the greater the amount of steam input into the first chamber, the faster the heat exchange rate between the steam and the liquid in the first chamber. When it is necessary to increase the heating rate of the liquid in the first chamber, the steam generator is controlled to increase its operating power, thereby increasing the amount of steam input into the first chamber. Conversely, if it is necessary to reduce the rate of temperature rise of the liquid in the first chamber, or if it is necessary to keep the liquid in the first chamber at a lower temperature, the steam generator is controlled to decrease its operating power.

[0243] In any of the above embodiments, the steam assembly includes a steam generator, a steam passage, and a regulating valve, with the regulating valve disposed in the steam passage. Specifically, the regulating unit is used to determine if the second steam velocity is greater than the first steam velocity, control the regulating valve to decrease its opening, and / or control the steam generator to increase its operating power; and to determine if the second steam velocity is less than the first steam velocity, control the regulating valve to increase its opening, and / or control the steam generator to decrease its operating power.

[0244] In this embodiment, the steam assembly includes a steam generator and a steam channel. When the steam generator is powered on, it generates heat, causing water entering the steam generator to vaporize and produce steam. The steam enters the first chamber through a vent channel connecting the steam generator and the steam inlet. The steam channel guides the steam generated by the steam assembly to a suitable location within the first chamber. The steam assembly also includes a regulating valve installed on the steam channel; controlling the opening of the regulating valve adjusts the steam flow area of ​​the steam channel.

[0245] The second steam velocity is located and compared with the first steam velocity. If the second steam velocity is greater than the first steam velocity, it is determined that the steam velocity input to the first chamber needs to be increased. This is done by either increasing the operating power of the steam generator or decreasing the opening of the regulating valve, thereby increasing the steam velocity output by the steam generator. If the second steam velocity is less than the first steam velocity, it is determined that the steam velocity input to the first chamber needs to be decreased. This is done by either decreasing the operating power of the steam generator or increasing the opening of the regulating valve, thereby decreasing the steam velocity output by the steam generator.

[0246] It is understandable that the flow rate of steam input into the first chamber directly affects the turbulence speed of the liquid within the first chamber. To increase the turbulence speed of the liquid in the first chamber, the flow rate of steam entering the first chamber is increased; conversely, to decrease the turbulence speed of the liquid in the first chamber, the flow rate of steam entering the first chamber is decreased.

Furthermore, even with a constant steam volume, the steam flow rate can be controlled, improving the controllability of the steam input to the first chamber and enhancing the user experience.

[0249] The control device 900 for the milk tea machine also includes:

[0250] Timing unit 906 is used to obtain the running time of the steam component;

[0251] The control unit 902 is also used to determine whether the running time has reached the set time. If the result is yes, the steam component is controlled to stop running.

[0252] In this embodiment, after the steam component starts operating, its operating time is timed. When the set operating time is detected, the steam component is controlled to stop operating to prevent it from dry burning and being damaged. Automatic control of the steam component's shutdown based on its operating time avoids the risk of the user forgetting to turn off the milk tea machine.

[0253] In any of the above embodiments, the milk tea machine further includes a partition and a detection component. The partition is detachably disposed within the first housing, and the detection component is used to detect the installation status of the partition.

[0254] The control unit 902 is also used to control the steam generator to operate at a first power based on the partition being in the installed state;

[0255] The control unit 902 is also used to control the steam generator to operate at a second power based on the fact that the diaphragm is not installed.

[0256] The first power is greater than the second power.

[0257] In this embodiment, the milk tea machine also includes a detachable partition disposed in the first housing. The partition is located within the first cavity and divides the first cavity into a first sub-cavity and a second sub-cavity. The first sub-cavity and the second sub-cavity are isolated from each other by the partition, meaning they are not connected. The first sub-cavity is connected to a steam inlet, allowing steam generated by the steam assembly to enter the first sub-cavity through the steam inlet, but it will not continue to flow into the second sub-cavity.

[0258] The milk tea machine also includes a detection component that can monitor the installation status of the partition. When the partition is detected to be installed on the first housing, it is determined that the steam does not need to directly contact the liquid, meaning the steam demand is low; therefore, the steam generator is controlled at a lower first power. When the partition is detected not to be installed on the first housing, it is determined that the steam needs to directly contact the liquid, meaning the steam demand is higher; therefore, the steam generator is controlled at a higher second power.
