Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of quick-mix beverages, in particular to a quick-mix beverage device. [Background Technology]

[0002] Current instant drinks typically require breaking the bottle cap to mix the concentrate in the cap with the liquid in the bottle. However, this method is a one-time process, resulting in a single flavor and an inability to adjust the amount of concentrate used. Later, to meet consumer taste needs, instant drinks with a variety of concentrates were introduced. However, these solutions cannot create different flavors in varying proportions. [Summary of the invention]

[0003] In order to solve the technical problem that the mixing amount of existing instant beverages cannot be adjusted, the present invention provides an instant beverage device.

[0004] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A quick-drink beverage device includes a cup body, a mixing chamber arranged in the cup body, a bottle body arranged in the cup body, a vacuum valve head arranged between the bottle body and the mixing chamber and allowing one-way flow of liquid in the bottle body to the mixing chamber, a pushing mechanism for squeezing the vacuum valve head to transfer the liquid in the bottle body to the mixing chamber, and a power supply system electrically connected to the pushing mechanism.

[0006] In the instant beverage device as described above, the vacuum valve head is connected to the bottle body, and the pushing mechanism is used to squeeze the vacuum valve head by pushing the bottle body.

[0007] As described above, in a quick-drink beverage device, the vacuum valve head includes a valve mouth connected to the mixing chamber, an upper piston body connected to the valve mouth, a lower piston body for communicating with the bottle body, and a piston spring provided between the upper piston body and the lower piston body. A valve head chamber is formed between the upper piston body and the lower piston body. The upper piston body and the lower piston body are sleeved and fit together and slide relative to each other to an extrusion state or a reset state under the action of the pushing mechanism or the piston spring. When the lower piston body switches from the reset state to the extrusion state, the fluid in the valve head chamber is squeezed out through the valve mouth; when the upper piston body switches from the extrusion state to the reset state, the fluid in the bottle body is drawn into the valve head chamber.

[0008] In the instant beverage device as described above, the vacuum valve head includes a valve head cavity. When the vacuum valve head is squeezed, the fluid in the valve head cavity is squeezed into the mixing cavity, and negative pressure is formed in the valve head cavity, so that the liquid in the bottle body is drawn into the valve head cavity when the vacuum valve head is released.

[0009] In the aforementioned quick-drinking beverage device, the vacuum valve head further comprises a one-way valve, which is provided on the upper piston body and is used to allow the valve head cavity to be connected in one direction toward the valve mouth; and / or

[0010] The one-way valve is provided on the lower piston body and is used for one-way communication between the bottle body and the valve head cavity.

[0011] In the above-mentioned speed-mixing beverage device, the pushing mechanism includes a push rod, a pushing assembly corresponding to the push rod, and a first driving assembly for driving the pushing assembly to push the push rod out for transfer.

[0012] In the aforementioned speed-mixing beverage device, the pushing mechanism further comprises a switching assembly for causing the push rod to contact with the push assembly to achieve linkage or to separate to release linkage.

[0013] In the above-mentioned speed-mixing beverage device, the ejection assembly includes an ejection screw threadedly engaged with the push rod, an ejection turntable for cooperating with the ejection screw to rotate synchronously, and a first driven wheel for cooperating with the ejection turntable to rotate synchronously.

[0014] In the speed-mixing beverage device described above, the first driving assembly includes a first motor, the output end of the first motor is engaged with the first driven wheel, and when the first driven wheel cooperates with the ejection turntable, it drives the ejection screw to rotate, thereby moving the push rod.

[0015] The instant beverage device as described above further includes an NFC sticker provided on the bottle body and an NFC identification module provided in the cup body.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0017] The instant beverage dispenser of the present invention utilizes a push mechanism to squeeze a vacuum valve body, thereby allowing the concentrate in the bottle to enter the cup body, thereby adjusting the amount of concentrate used. When multiple bottles are provided, multiple concentrates can be used to prepare beverages of different flavors in different proportions according to demand.

[0027] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 8 A quick-drink beverage device includes a cup body 1, a mixing chamber 2 provided in the cup body 1, a bottle body 3 provided in the cup body 1, a vacuum valve head 5 provided between the bottle body 3 and the mixing chamber 2 and for allowing one-way flow of liquid in the bottle body 3 to the mixing chamber 2, a pushing mechanism 4 for squeezing the vacuum valve head 5 to transfer the liquid in the bottle body 3 to the mixing chamber 2, and a power supply system 6 electrically connected to the pushing mechanism 4.

[0029] The instant beverage device of the present invention uses a pushing mechanism to squeeze the vacuum valve body, so that the concentrated liquid in the bottle body enters the cup body, thereby adjusting the amount of concentrated liquid used. When multiple bottles are provided, a variety of concentrated liquids can be configured into beverages of different flavors in different proportions according to demand. The amount of concentrated liquid squeezed out can be determined by the working time of the pushing mechanism supplied by the power system. For example, the working time of the pushing mechanism can be simply controlled by the switch of the power system. When the switch is pressed, the pushing mechanism is powered on and the concentrated liquid enters the cup body. When the switch is pressed, the pushing mechanism is powered off and the concentrated liquid stops entering the cup body. This achieves different proportion configurations. Current instant beverage devices have a backflow phenomenon, which causes contamination of the liquid in the bottle body. The use of a vacuum valve head can avoid this phenomenon.

[0030] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not limiting, the vacuum valve head 5 is connected to the bottle body 3, and the pushing mechanism 4 is used to squeeze the vacuum valve head 5 by pushing the bottle body 3. The pushing mechanism can squeeze the vacuum valve head directly, or, as in the present embodiment, squeeze the vacuum valve head by pushing the bottle body.

[0031] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not limiting, the power supply system 6 includes a battery 61 provided in the cup body 1. The battery is used to power the first motor and the second motor.

[0032] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not a limitation, the power supply system 6 also includes a charging interface 62 provided on the cup body 1 , and a waterproof plug 63 is provided on the charging interface 62 .

[0033] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not limiting, the three bottles 3 are distributed in a triangular shape within the bottle 3, and the three batteries 61 are distributed in a triangular shape within the bottle 3, and are staggered with the three bottles 3, with the batteries 61 located in the gap between two bottles 3. This distribution saves space.

[0034] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not a limitation, a vacuum valve head 5 is provided between the bottle body 3 and the mixing chamber 2 to allow one-way flow of liquid from the bottle body 3 to the mixing chamber 2. By using a pushing mechanism to squeeze the bottle body, the bottle body squeezes the vacuum valve head, compressing the space within the vacuum valve head. After the pushing mechanism resets the bottle body, the vacuum valve head resets under the action of the piston spring and generates negative pressure, thereby extracting the concentrated liquid in the bottle body into the space within the vacuum valve head. The pushing mechanism squeezes the bottle body again, squeezing the concentrated liquid in the vacuum valve head into the mixing chamber. This process is repeated, and the amount of concentrated liquid used is adjusted by squeezing the bottle body.

[0035] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not a limitation, the vacuum valve head 5 includes a valve nozzle 51 connected to the mixing chamber, an upper piston body 52 connected to the valve nozzle 51, a lower piston body 53 for communicating with the bottle body, and a piston spring 521 arranged between the upper piston body 52 and the lower piston body 53. A valve head chamber 54 is formed between the upper piston body 52 and the lower piston body 53. The upper piston body 52 and the lower piston body 53 are sleeved and fit together and slide relative to each other to an extrusion state or a reset state under the action of the pushing mechanism 4 or the piston spring 521. When the lower piston body 53 switches from the reset state to the extrusion state, the fluid in the valve head chamber 54 is squeezed out through the valve nozzle 51; when the upper piston body 52 switches from the extrusion state to the reset state, the fluid in the bottle body is drawn into the valve head chamber 54. When the upper and lower piston bodies are squeezed, i.e., when they switch to the squeeze state, the fluid in the valve head cavity will flow out in one direction toward the valve nozzle, preventing the squeezed fluid from flowing back or preventing external fluid from entering the valve head cavity. Furthermore, after the upper and lower piston bodies are no longer squeezed, i.e., when they switch to the reset state, negative pressure is formed in the valve head cavity, which draws fluid from the bottle. This ensures that the next squeeze only releases the fluid in the bottle, thereby improving squeezing efficiency.

[0036] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not a limitation, the vacuum valve head 5 includes a valve head cavity 54. When the vacuum valve head 5 is squeezed, the fluid in the valve head cavity 54 is squeezed into the mixing chamber 2, and negative pressure is formed in the valve head cavity 54. When the vacuum valve head 5 is released from the squeeze, the liquid in the bottle body 3 is drawn into the valve head cavity 54. The vacuum valve head is an integral unit and can rely on its own elasticity to rebound, or, as in the present embodiment, can utilize a piston spring to rebound.

[0037] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not limiting, it further includes a one-way valve 55, which is provided on the upper piston body 52 and is used to make the valve head cavity 54 communicate in one direction toward the valve mouth 51; and / or

[0038] The one-way valve 55 is mounted on the lower piston body 53 and provides one-way communication between the bottle and the valve head cavity 54. This allows the fluid in the valve head cavity to be squeezed out only toward the valve orifice when switching from the reset state to the squeeze state, creating negative pressure. When switching from the squeeze state to the reset state, fluid outside the valve orifice cannot enter the valve head cavity, while fluid in the bottle can be drawn into the valve head cavity. The bottle, vacuum valve head, and one-way valve are configured in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0039] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not limiting, the upper piston body 52 and / or the lower piston body 53 are provided with a positioning hole 56 and a flow hole 57. The one-way valve 55 includes a shaft 551 that is inserted into the positioning hole 56 and moves along its axis, and a flow blocking portion 552 provided at one end of the shaft 551 and used to cover the flow hole 57. The flow hole is used to allow fluid to flow, and the positioning hole is used to limit the movement distance of the one-way valve, so that the flow blocking portion can cover the flow hole, preventing fluid from entering the flow hole, or the flow blocking portion can be separated from the flow hole, allowing fluid to pass through the flow hole.

[0040] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not a limitation, the one-way valve 55 further includes a stopper 553 provided on the other end of the shaft 551. The shaft 551 passes through the positioning hole 56, and the stopper 553 and the flow blocking portion 552 are respectively located on either side of the positioning hole 56. The stopper is used to limit the movement distance of the shaft and prevent the shaft from leaving the positioning hole.

[0041] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not limiting, the valve mouth 51 is a duckbill valve, comprising a valve mouth outlet cavity 511 for communicating with the outside world, and a valve mouth inner cavity 512 communicating with the upper piston body 52. ​​A valve mouth bracket 513 is provided within the valve mouth 51 for maintaining communication between the valve mouth outlet cavity 511 and the valve mouth inner cavity 512. The valve mouth bracket can support the valve mouth inner cavity, ensuring that the valve mouth remains unobstructed.

[0042] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not limiting, it further includes a piston body cover 58 provided on the lower piston body 53 and used to restrict the upper piston body 52 on the lower piston body 53. The piston body cover is detachably connected to the lower piston body. After the two are disassembled, the upper piston body can be separated from the lower piston body for easy cleaning.

[0043] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not a limitation, the lower piston body 53 is provided with a bottle body connecting portion 531 for connecting with the bottle body.

[0044] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not limiting, a sealing ring 59 is provided between the upper piston body 52 and the lower piston body 53. The sealing ring is used to ensure that the upper piston body and the lower piston body remain in a good sealing state when the upper piston body moves relative to the lower piston body.

[0045] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not a limitation, the shaft 551 and the flow blocking portion 552 form an umbrella-shaped structure, and the fluid applies pressure to the flow blocking portion 552 from the outside so that the flow blocking portion 552 covers the flow hole 57 to block the flow hole 57; the fluid applies pressure to the flow blocking portion 552 from the inside to push the flow blocking portion 552 away from the flow hole 57 to open the flow hole 57.

[0046] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not a limitation, a plurality of the flow holes 57 are arranged around the positioning hole 56 .

[0047] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution, but not limiting, the pushing mechanism 4 includes a push rod 41, a pushing assembly 42 corresponding to the push rod 41, a first driving assembly 43 for driving the pushing assembly 42 to push the push rod 41 outward, thereby performing extrusion, and a switching assembly 44 for causing the push rod 41 to contact the pushing assembly 42 for linkage or to separate and release the linkage. By using the switching assembly, the push rod and the pushing assembly are brought into contact for linkage. After the linkage is released, another push rod can be brought into contact with another pushing assembly for linkage. In this way, the corresponding push rod and pushing assembly can be selected for linkage as needed to achieve an extrusion effect. Moreover, only one first driving assembly is required to drive the pushing assembly, thereby simplifying the structure.

[0048] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution, but not limiting, the ejection assembly 42 includes an ejection screw 421 threadedly engaged with the push rod 41, an ejection rotary disk 422 for synchronous rotation with the ejection screw 421, and a first driven wheel 423 for synchronous rotation with the ejection rotary disk 422. The first driven wheel rotates, and under the action of a switching assembly, the ejection rotary disk can rotate synchronously with the first driven wheel, or can decouple the synchronous rotation relationship. Rotation of the ejection rotary disk thereby drives the ejection screw out.

[0049] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not a limitation, the first drive assembly 43 includes a first motor 431 and a driving wheel 432 disposed at the output end of the first motor 431 and meshing with the first driven wheel 423. When the first driven wheel 423 engages with the ejection turntable 422, it drives the ejection screw 421 to rotate, thereby moving the push rod 41. By meshing multiple first driven wheels with the driving wheel and then cooperating with the switching assembly, the effect of driving multiple push rods with a single first motor can be achieved.

[0050] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not a limitation thereof, the switching assembly 44 includes a return spring 441 disposed between the first driven wheel 423 and the ejection rotary disk 422. The return spring 441 presses the ejection rotary disk 422 away from the first driven wheel 423, thereby separating the push rod 41 from the ejection rotary disk 422 and releasing the linkage therebetween. The return spring is used to release the linkage between the push rod and the ejection rotary disk.

[0051] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not limiting, the switching assembly 44 includes a switching pushing portion 442 for moving the ejection rotary disk 422 toward the push rod 41, and a second driving assembly 45 for driving the switching pushing portion 442 to move to a position corresponding to the ejection rotary disk 422. When the return spring is compressed, the push rod and the ejection rotary disk are linked.

[0052] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution, but not limiting, the second drive assembly 45 includes a second motor 451, a second driven wheel 452 meshing with the output end of the second motor 451, and the switching pusher 442 is disposed on the second driven wheel 452 and moves therewith. The second motor drives the second driven wheel to rotate the switching pusher, which moves below the ejection turntable and lifts it, thereby engaging the push rod with the pusher assembly. When the switching pusher moves below another ejection turntable, the push rod corresponding to that ejection turntable engages accordingly, achieving the switching effect.

[0053] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not a limitation, the ejection turntable 422 is provided with a first limiting portion 4221 arranged in a circumferential array and at intervals, and the first driven wheel 423 is provided with a second limiting portion 4231 which is staggered with the first limiting portion 4221, and the first limiting portion 4221 and the second limiting portion 4231 are engaged with each other to rotate synchronously.

[0054] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention but not a limitation, the pushing assembly 42 is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of push rods 41 , and the first motor 431 is engaged with the plurality of the first driven wheels 423 at the same time.

[0055] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not limiting, a curved portion 4421 for gradually lifting the ejection turntable 422 is provided between the switching ejection portion 442 and the second driven wheel 452. The curved portion facilitates smooth lifting of the ejection turntable while reducing the load on the second motor.

[0056] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not a limitation, a gear set 453 for forming a planetary gear device with the second driven gear 452 is provided on the output end of the second motor 451 .

[0057] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution but not limiting, it further includes an NFC sticker 71 provided on the bottle body 3 and an NFC recognition module 72 provided in the cup body 1. The NFC sticker is an NFC sticker attached to the bottle body corresponding to the concentrated liquid therein, and the NFC recognition module is used to obtain the NFC sticker on the bottle body to identify the concentrated liquid information in the bottle body.

[0058] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0059] The instant beverage dispenser of the present invention utilizes a push mechanism to squeeze a vacuum valve body, thereby allowing the concentrate in the bottle to enter the cup body, thereby adjusting the amount of concentrate used. When multiple bottles are provided, multiple concentrates can be used to prepare beverages of different flavors in different proportions according to demand.
