[0002] Ice-feeding devices are widely used in restaurants, beverage shops, bars, and other places that require large quantities of ice. However, existing ice-feeding devices can only manually supply ice and cannot automatically prevent ice from getting stuck.

While seemingly without flaws, the inventor, driven by a spirit of continuous improvement, hopes to further refine and perfect this intelligent beverage mixing device with an ice-feeding mechanism. Summary of the Invention

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2The intelligent ice-falling device of Embodiment 1 of the present invention includes an ice storage container 1, a stirring rod 2, a stirring plate 3, an ice-falling partition plate 4, and a driving device 5.

[0031] Ice storage container 1 is a container used to store ice blocks. Ice storage container 1 may have an ice outlet 11 at its bottom, from which ice blocks can fall. Ice storage container 1 may be cylindrical, but it can also be of various shapes, without limitation. Furthermore, the ice blocks in ice storage container 1 are preferably cube-shaped, but they can also be of various shapes, without limitation.

[0032] A stirring rod 2 is rotatably positioned within the ice storage container 1, with an upper end 21 and a lower end 22 formed at its opposite ends. A plurality of stirring blades 3 are horizontally connected to the stirring rod 2 and located between the upper end 21 and the lower end 22.

In this embodiment, the plurality of stirring blades 3 facilitates the rotation and agitation of the ice blocks within the ice storage container 1, preventing the ice blocks from sticking together.

[0033] In this embodiment, there are four ice-falling dividers 4, arranged in pairs opposite each other. However, the number of ice-falling dividers 4 can also be two or eight, and is not limited. Multiple ice-falling dividers 4 are vertically connected to the lower end 22 of the stirring rod 2 and located above the ice outlet 11. The ice-falling dividers 4 formed between them can be used to define the amount of ice falling into each ice-falling divider.

[0034] The drive device 5 is connected to the upper end 21 of the stirring rod 2 and can drive the stirring rod 2, the stirring blade 3, and the ice-falling divider 4 to rotate, so as to automatically supply ice blocks. That is, each rotation of the ice-falling divider by one division can deliver one unit of ice.

Alternatively, the drive device 5 can drive the stirring rod 2, the stirring blade 3, and the ice-falling divider 4 to vibrate or rotate based on detection results, so as to automatically eliminate ice blockage.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Please see Figures 3 to 8 The intelligent ice-falling device of Embodiment 2 of the present invention includes, in addition to the ice storage container 1, the stirring rod 2, the stirring plate 3, the ice-falling partition plate 4, and the driving device 5, the ice receiving tray 6, the ice-falling bucket 7, the elastic baffle 8, and the ice-discharging tray 9.

[0037] The top of the ice storage container 1 in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 3The ice storage container 1 is shown with a top cover 12, and an ice inlet 13 and an ice outlet 11 are formed on its side and bottom, respectively. Further, the ice storage container 1 in this embodiment can be a cylindrical container body 101, but it can also be a square barrel or other shapes. The ice storage container 1 can also have a curved tubular or other shaped ice outlet pipe 102, which is connected to the bottom of the container body 101. The ice inlet 13 can be located on the side of the container body 101, and the ice outlet 11 can be located at the bottom of the ice outlet pipe 102.

[0038] Receive ice plate 6 Figure 3 As shown, the ice receiving tray 6 is fixed in the ice storage container 1, and an ice storage space SP is formed between the ice receiving tray 6 and the top cover 12 for storing ice blocks. In other words, the distance between the ice receiving tray 6 and the top cover 12 determines the size of the ice storage space SP. In this embodiment, the ice receiving tray 6 is a circular dish, but it can also be a square dish. Furthermore, the ice receiving tray 6 is as follows... Figure 5 The diagram shows a first ice-falling opening 61 for allowing ice blocks to fall downwards.

[0039] Ice Bucket Test 7 Figure 3 The ice bucket 7 shown is fixed below the ice receiving tray 6. In this embodiment, the ice bucket 7 is a hollow barrel with openings at both the top and bottom; it can be a hollow cylinder or a hollow square barrel. The ice receiving tray 6 above the ice bucket 7 is used to collect ice blocks to prevent large amounts of ice blocks from falling directly into the ice bucket 7. In this embodiment, the ice receiving tray 6 has a semi-circular first ice-falling opening 61, allowing some of the ice blocks on the ice receiving tray 6 to fall downwards into the ice bucket 7.

[0040] Elastic baffle 8 Figure 4 As shown, it is vertically fixed to the bottom of the ice receiving tray 6 and extends downward into the ice dropping bucket 7, and the wall of the elastic baffle 8 is as close as possible to the inner periphery of the ice dropping bucket 7. Figure 5 The ice-falling channel TH is formed, corresponding to the first ice-falling opening 61, allowing some ice blocks on the ice-receiving tray 6 to fall downwards into the ice-falling channel TH through the first ice-falling opening 61. In this embodiment, two elastic baffles 8 are arranged side by side, but four elastic baffles 8 can also be arranged side by side. Furthermore, a semi-circular ice-falling channel TH is formed between the walls of the two elastic baffles 8 and the inner periphery of the ice-falling bucket 7, and the ice-falling channel TH corresponds to the semi-circular first ice-falling opening 61. It is worth mentioning that the elastic baffles 8 in this embodiment are made of elastic material, that is, material with a certain degree of resilience. Preferably, they are composite materials with a polymer base material containing thermosetting elastomers (such as silicone elastomers) as the base material, giving them characteristics such as high resilience, low deformation rate, and low embrittlement temperature.

[0041] In this embodiment, the stirring rod 2 passes through the ice receiving tray 6, positioning multiple ice-falling dividers 4 below the elastic baffle 8. The inner edge of the ice-falling divider 4 is connected to the outer periphery of the stirring rod 2, and the outer edge of the ice-falling divider 4 can be connected to the inner wall of the outer frame 401, allowing the outer frame 401 to be rotatably positioned in the ice-falling bucket 7 and below the elastic baffle 8. The outer frame 401 in this embodiment is preferably circular, but it can also be elliptical or square. This embodiment forms four ice-falling compartments PA, but this is not limited. At least one ice-falling compartment PA can be rotatably connected to the ice-falling channel TH, allowing ice blocks to fall from the ice-falling channel TH into at least one ice-falling compartment PA. Furthermore, the elastic baffle 8 prevents a large amount of ice blocks from falling directly into these ice-falling compartments PA. In this embodiment, the ice-falling compartment PA is a fan-shaped compartment, but it can also be a semi-circular or square compartment. In this embodiment, the ice-falling partition PA can be formed between the outer frame 401 and the ice-falling partition plate 4. Furthermore, each stirring blade 3 in this embodiment has a horizontal blade body 31 and an inclined blade body 32 extending obliquely from the long side of the horizontal blade body 31.

[0042] Nine ice plates Figure 3 As shown, it is fixed in the ice storage container 1 and located below the ice drop bucket 7. In this embodiment, the ice discharge tray 9 is circular but can also be square, and the lower end 22 of the stirring rod 2 extends downwards through the center of the ice discharge tray 9. Furthermore, the ice discharge tray 9 is as follows... Figure 6 and Figure 7 The device is shown to have a second ice-falling opening 91 for allowing ice blocks to fall downwards. This opening connects to at least one ice-falling compartment PA above and an ice-discharge outlet 11 below the ice storage container 1, allowing ice blocks to exit to the outside of the ice storage container 1 via at least one ice-falling compartment PA, the second ice-falling opening 91, and the ice-discharge outlet 11. In this embodiment, the ice-discharge tray 9 has a fan-shaped second ice-falling opening 91, which corresponds to the fan-shaped ice-falling compartment PA.

[0043] The driving device 5 in this embodiment can be as follows: Figure 4 The diagram shows a mounting housing 501, which is fixed to the top cover 12. Furthermore, the drive device 5 can be... Figure 8 The diagram shows a drive module 51, a rotation angle sensing module 52, and a control module 53.

[0044] The drive module 51 may include a drive motor, which may be a stepper motor. The upper end 21 of the agitator 2 may be a rotating shaft 510 connected to the stepper motor. Furthermore, a reducer (reduction gear) may be further provided between the rotating shaft 510 of the stepper motor and the motor to provide low-speed, high-torque power output, thereby enabling precise control of the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 510 and increasing the agitation torque.

[0045] The rotation angle sensing module 52 is used to detect the rotation angle of the motor shaft 510 and output the corresponding rotation angle data. In this embodiment, the rotation angle sensing module 52 may include an optical encoder, but it can also be a Hall effect magnetic encoder or other sensors; there are no limitations. Furthermore, the rotation angle sensing module 52 in this embodiment can be a high-resolution optical encoder, as a high-resolution optical encoder can generate more pulse signals, resulting in more precise detection of the rotation angle of the shaft 510. Additionally, the drive module 51 and the rotation angle sensing module 52 in this embodiment can also be integrated, so that the drive module 51 can be a stepper motor with an optical encoder.

[0046] The control module 53 is electrically connected to the drive module 51 and the rotation angle sensing module 52. In this embodiment, the control module 53 may include a microcontroller (MCU) or other controller, and may be located inside or outside the mounting housing 501. Furthermore, the control module 53 can send a first control signal to the drive module 51 according to an external command, causing the drive module 51 to drive the rotating shaft 510 to rotate by a target rotation angle to control the amount of ice dispensed. In other words, each rotation of the ice-dropping partition PA can dispense one unit of ice. Based on the read rotation angle data, the control module 53 judges the angle difference between the actual rotation angle of the rotating shaft 510 and the target rotation angle to perform position feedback control, thereby adjusting the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 510 to achieve precise positioning of the rotating shaft 510. The control module 53 then judges whether there is any ice jamming based on the angle difference. If ice jamming is detected, the control module 53 sends a second control signal to the drive module 51, causing the drive module 51 to drive the rotating shaft 510 to vibrate and rotate back and forth clockwise and counterclockwise to synchronously drive multiple ice-dropping partitions 4 to rotate back and forth clockwise and counterclockwise, so that the ice blocks above the multiple ice-dropping partitions 4 are pushed back by the elastic baffles 8 to remove the ice jamming phenomenon.

[0047] Furthermore, even if it is determined that no ice jamming occurs, the accumulated angle difference will accumulate over time, resulting in a cumulative error. Therefore, the control module 53 also determines whether the value of the accumulated angle difference exceeds the predetermined maximum allowable value. When it is determined that the value exceeds the predetermined maximum allowable value, the automatic return function is activated, that is, a third control signal is sent to the drive module 51, causing the drive module 51 to drive the rotating shaft 510 to rotate and automatically return to the predetermined initial position.

Furthermore, a cavity CH separates the outer barrel 103 from the ice storage container 1, and the cavity CH can be filled with insulating material such as polyurethane to further enhance the insulation effect.

Moreover, the intelligent beverage mixing device 7000 can add an appropriate amount of ice to the beverage during the mixing process via the intelligent ice-dispensing device 1000 based on input beverage demand data (such as product, sugar content, ice quantity, etc.), thereby automatically supplying the mixed beverage to the user according to demand.
