[0045] A beverage manufacturing device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0046] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the present invention aims to provide an embodiment of a beverage manufacturing device.

[0047] In this embodiment, the beverage manufacturing device mainly includes a body, which includes an outer box 8 and an inner box 9. The inner box 9 is used to form a usage space facing the user, and a manufacturing usage space is formed between the outer box 8 and the inner box 9, facilitating the arrangement of various mechanisms and structures to achieve the required functions. At the same time, the outer box 8 separates the outside from the interior of the device, maintaining a good shape and ensuring usage safety.

[0048] In this embodiment, a panel 14 is arranged on the outer box 8. The panel 14 includes a display screen, and the display screen can be a touch screen to eliminate the need for buttons.

[0049] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, various beverage manufacturing processes can be loaded on the panel 14, thereby facilitating the processing of different beverages, such as cold and hot beverages like smoothies, fruit juices, teas, or coffees.

[0050] In this embodiment, a meal door mechanism is arranged on the outer box 8. Thus, by opening and closing the meal door, it is convenient to place the beverage cup 1, facilitating the beverage processing and manufacturing, and at the same time, preventing human hands from touching during the processing to ensure safety.

[0051] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the meal door can be lifted and lowered to open and close. That is, when the meal door rises, a channel is formed at the bottom of the meal door, facilitating the placement and removal of the beverage cup 1, and when the meal door descends, the meal door closes the channel, separating the inside and outside.

[0052] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, when the meal door rises, the meal door and the panel 14 overlap in the horizontal direction, which can optimize the layout, reduce the height of the beverage manufacturing device, improve the stability of the beverage manufacturing device, and make the beverage manufacturing device small in size and easy to arrange.

[0053] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the meal door device 12 further includes an optical recognition protection mechanism located outside the meal door.

[0054] It is easy to understand that by setting the optical recognition protection mechanism in this embodiment, human hands or arms can be recognized to avoid being crushed when the meal door falls, protecting the user.

[0055] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, there is a contact protection mechanism inside the meal door. The contact protection mechanism includes a crossbar 13 for triggering, and the crossbar 13 is located below the meal door and close to the inner side of the machine body.

[0056] It is easily understandable that in this embodiment, by providing the cross bar 13, when the meal door drops and presses a hand or an arm against the cross bar 13, the cross bar 13 is pressed and the contact protection mechanism operates to lift the meal door in time, thus avoiding injury to the user.

[0057] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the cross bar 13 can be driven by a spring to rise, and when the cross bar 13 descends, the cross bar 13 presses a micro switch, causing the contact protection mechanism to operate.

[0058] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, an optical recognition protection mechanism and a contact protection mechanism can be arranged simultaneously to provide double protection. Meanwhile, in terms of arrangement, the volume of the beverage manufacturing equipment is not increased, or the increase in the volume of the beverage manufacturing equipment is relatively small.

[0059] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the meal door can also be lowered, and a channel is formed at the top of the meal door to facilitate the taking and placing of the beverage cup 1.

[0060] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the meal door can also be translated left and right to open and close, but the influence on the width of the beverage manufacturing equipment needs to be considered to adapt to narrow areas such as counters.

[0061] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, one side of the meal door can be rotatably connected to the machine body, and thus, the meal door is opened and closed in a rotating manner. However, the restriction of the rotating area of the meal door on the surrounding space needs to be considered.

[0062] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the rotation mode can be horizontal rotation or flipping.

[0063] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a beverage recognition device 11 can be arranged on the outer box 8. The beverage recognition device 11 includes a bar code scanning device or a two-dimensional code recognition device, and the beverage recognition device 11 is used to recognize the beverage cup 1 to call a corresponding beverage manufacturing program.

[0064] That is, a person holds the beverage cup 1, so that the bar code or two-dimensional code on the beverage cup 1 is recognized by the beverage recognition device 11, and the beverage processing program is associated and called. When the beverage cup 1 is placed in place, the beverage manufacturing equipment processes the beverage according to the called beverage manufacturing program, reducing operations.

[0065] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the panel 14, the meal door device 12, and the beverage recognition device 11 can be arranged in sequence from top to bottom.

[0066] It is easy to understand that in this embodiment, the panel 14, the meal door device 12, and the beverage recognition device 11 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. Therefore, when a person holds the beverage cup 1, first aligns the beverage cup 1 with the beverage recognition device 11 to retrieve the corresponding processing program. Then, puts the beverage cup 1 into the device through the meal door device 12. Next, closes the meal door to start the beverage processing. Finally, can fine-tune the beverage processing through the panel 14, for example, add appropriate water and sugar for flavoring, which can not only meet the needs of conventional beverage manufacturing but also meet the special customization needs of beverages.

[0067] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the stirring device can adjust the stirring time, stirring speed, etc. of the stirring blade 4 according to the data provided by the beverage recognition device 11, such as according to the parameters of the two-dimensional code, and even the stirring time, stirring speed, and forward and reverse rotation rules at different height positions, etc.

[0068] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the beverage recognition device 11 can be arranged on the side wall of the inner box 9. That is, after the beverage cup 1 is placed in place, it is automatically recognized by the beverage recognition device 11. However, the position of the label on the beverage cup 1 needs to be considered. For example, multiple recognition points are set to ensure that it can be recognized, or the recognition points can be movable or the beverage cup 1 can rotate automatically to facilitate the recognition of the information on the label of the beverage cup 1.

[0069] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , to meet the needs of beverage manufacturing, in this embodiment, a cup holder 2 is provided inside the box, and the cup holder 2 is used to place the beverage cup 1.

[0070] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the cup holder 2 can be moved towards the meal door side, so that it is convenient for the user to observe the cup holder 2 and accurately place the beverage cup 1.

[0071] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the inner surface of the cup holder 2 can be conical or stepped to meet the placement requirements of beverage cups 1 of different sizes.

[0072] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the cup holder 2 can have an inner side wall that fits the beverage cup 1, and an outer support ring 10 is provided at the top of the inner side wall.

[0073] It is easy to understand that in this embodiment, by setting the outer support ring 10, the area of the cup holder 2 can be increased, which is convenient for putting the beverage cup 1 in and also convenient for collecting spilled beverage raw materials to avoid soiling the inner box 9.

[0074] At the same time, the outer support ring 10 can also cooperate with the pressure ring 3 to ensure sealing during cleaning.

[0075] In addition, the outer support ring 10 can be attached to the outer ring of the pressing ring 3. Thus, it is convenient to clean part of the end face of the pressing ring 3, improving the cleaning ability and reducing the possibility of introducing the beverage into other beverage cups 1.

[0076] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the inner sidewall can be provided with a concave portion extending vertically and communicating.

[0077] It is easy to understand that in this embodiment, by providing the concave portion, it is convenient for the spilled beverage to flow along the concave portion to the bottom of the cup holder 2, facilitating discharge.

[0078] At the same time, it also makes the cup holder 2 communicate vertically, making it very convenient to take and place the beverage cup 1, not affected by negative pressure, and also avoiding the cleaning water from being sucked back into the cup holder 2 due to taking the beverage cup 1.

[0079] To complete the beverage preparation, in this embodiment, a stirring device is further provided. The stirring device is arranged above the cup holder 2. The stirring device includes a pressing ring 3 and a stirring blade 4 located inside the pressing ring 3. The pressing ring 3 can press down the top edge of the beverage cup 1 to seal, and the stirring blade 4 can descend to stir the raw materials in the beverage cup 1.

[0080] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the stirring blade 4 can include multiple cutting tools to meet different requirements such as cutting, crushing, and stirring, without the need to frequently replace the cutting tools.

[0081] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a feeding port can be provided on the inner side of the pressing ring 3.

[0082] It is easy to understand that in this embodiment, through the feeding port, it is also convenient to add water, ice water, hot water, sugar, etc., thereby meeting the personalized blending needs and reducing the types of prefabricated beverage cups 1, reducing the production and management costs.

[0083] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the stirring device can include a lifting seat 15. The lifting seat 15 has an inner sleeve 17 and an outer sleeve 16. The inner sleeve 17 is provided with a stirring shaft connecting the stirring blade 4. A motor for driving the stirring shaft is arranged at the top of the inner sleeve 17. The outer sleeve 16 is slidably connected to the inner sleeve 17 up and down. The pressing ring 3 is arranged at the bottom of the outer sleeve 16. A spring is arranged between the outer sleeve 16 and the inner sleeve 17, and the spring is used to drive the outer sleeve 16 to descend relative to the inner sleeve 17.

[0084] It is easy to understand that when the lifting seat 15 descends, the pressing block first contacts the beverage cup 1 to complete the sealing of the beverage cup 1. Then, the lifting seat 15 continues to descend while the pressing ring 3 remains stationary, causing relative displacement between the outer sleeve 16 and the inner sleeve 17. Thus, the stirring blade 4 extends into the beverage cup 1.

[0085] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the stirring blade 4 can start stirring during the process of extending into the drink cup 1, avoiding the hard pressing of the drink raw materials by the stirring blade 4, such as ice cubes, dried fruits, etc., and avoiding damage to the drink cup 1.

[0086] When the lifting seat 15 rises, the stirring blade 4 and the inner sleeve 17 rise, and the spring keeps the pressing ring 3 in contact with the drink cup 1, avoiding beverage leakage and also facilitating the collection of the beverage adhered to the stirring device into the drink cup 1, reducing waste.

[0087] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the lifting of the lifting seat 15 can be realized by a lead screw structure, which is easy to implement. At the same time, it is also convenient to adjust the lifting distance according to the height of the drink cup 1 to meet different usage requirements.

[0088] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a vertically extending chute and a limit pin can be provided between the outer sleeve 16 and the inner sleeve 17, thereby limiting the relative lifting of the outer sleeve 16 and the inner sleeve 17 and avoiding the outer sleeve 16 falling off the inner sleeve 17.

[0089] To keep the stirring device clean, a cleaning device is further provided in this embodiment. It is arranged below the cup holder 2 and has an upward flushing port 5, and the cup holder 2 has an opening 6 for accommodating the upward flushing of the flushing port 5.

[0090] It is easy to understand that in this embodiment, through the flushing port 5, thus, the cleaning water flushing upward will spray through the opening 6 onto the stirring blade 4, the stirring shaft, the pressing ring 3, etc. Furthermore, the beverage adhered to the stirring blade 4, the stirring shaft, and the pressing ring 3 will be washed down, keeping the stirring device and the cup holder 2 clean.

[0091] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the flushing port 5 can be fixed to the cup holder 2 so that the flushing port 5 can move together with the cup holder 2 to reduce the sealing difficulty and adapt to the situation where the cup holder 2 can move towards the dining door side.

[0092] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the cleaning device can further include a drainage channel 7 communicating with the opening 6, thereby discharging the cleaning water to the outside, without the need to set a large space for storing water and avoiding increasing the volume of the beverage manufacturing equipment.

[0093] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a water collecting port can be provided on the bottom wall of the inner box 9, and the water collecting port is used to discharge the accumulated water in the inner box 9 to solve the problem that the beverage spills into the inner box 9 when taking the drink cup 1.

[0094] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the drainage of the water collecting port and the drainage channel 7 can share a pipeline to simplify the structure.

[0095] In summary, the present embodiment also achieves the following excellent effects:

[0096] 1. In this embodiment, by providing the cup holder 2, it is possible to place the common drink cup 1 for holding beverages, that is, the cup used when drinking. There is no need to use a special barrel body, and the intermediate pouring and conversion link is cancelled, improving the beverage manufacturing efficiency.

Therefore, the inner surface of the cup holder 2 can also be flushed to remove the beverage raw materials adhered to the inner surface of the cup holder 2.

[0102] 7. In this embodiment, by providing the flushing device, the flushing device is arranged below the cup holder 2. The flushing device has an upward flushing port 5, and the cup holder 2 has an opening 6 for accommodating the upward flushing of the flushing port 5. Therefore, the flushing range of the flushing device is limited to the inside of the cup holder 2, reducing unnecessary cleaning areas, reducing cleaning water and waste. At the same time, the cleaning efficiency is improved.

[0103] 8. In this embodiment, the pressing ring 3 can also press the cup holder 2, so that the cleaning space is limited within the cup holder 2 and the pressing ring 3, reducing the flushing space to a reasonable range, which not only meets the flushing requirements but also reduces the flushing space, reduces the flushing water consumption, and improves the flushing efficiency.

[0104] 9. In this embodiment, the pressing ring 3 can also press the cup holder 2, so that the cleaning space is limited within the cup holder 2 and the pressing ring 3, and it also prevents the flushing water from splashing and flowing onto the wall of the inner box 9 of the machine body, keeping the inner box 9 dry, not affecting the use, and not easily breeding bacteria.
