Starting the unfolding motor 113 to drive the double-headed threaded screw rod 107 to rotate can make the circular water inlet cover plate 105 and the circular water outlet cover plate 109 move in the direction of approaching each other or moving away from each other.
[0031] A sealing circular plate two 121 is rotatably mounted on the circular water outlet cover plate 109. A closed chamber two is formed between the circular water outlet cover plate 109 and the sealing circular plate two 121. A square drain pipe 112 is fixedly provided on the circular water outlet cover plate 109. Four position-adjusting circular plates three 128 are rotatably mounted on the sealing circular plate two 121 in a circumferential array. A heat exchange tube 119 is fixedly mounted at the eccentric position of the position-adjusting circular plate three 128, that is, the axis of the heat exchange tube 119 and the axis of the corresponding position-adjusting circular plate three 128 are not on the same straight line. A mixing cylinder 114 is rotatably mounted on the heat exchange cylinder 104. A sealing circular plate three 122 is rotatably mounted on the mixing cylinder 114. A sealing circular plate one 117 is rotatably mounted on the circular water inlet cover plate 105. A closed chamber one is formed between the sealing circular plate one 117 and the circular water inlet cover plate 105. A mixing chamber is formed among the mixing cylinder 114, the sealing circular plate one 117, and the sealing circular plate three 122. A closed chamber three is formed among the heat exchange cylinder 104, the circular water outlet cover plate 109, and the mixing cylinder 114. The heat exchange tubes 119 are all movably connected to the sealing circular plate one 117 and the sealing circular plate three 122. Square water pipes 111 are symmetrically and fixedly provided on the heat exchange cylinder 104.
[0032] In the initial position, the circular water inlet cover plate 105 and the circular water outlet cover plate 109 are at the closest position. At this time, a closed chamber three is formed among the heat exchange cylinder 104, the circular water outlet cover plate 109, and the mixing cylinder 114, and a mixing chamber is formed among the mixing cylinder 114, the sealing circular plate one 117, and the sealing circular plate three 122.
[0033] A feed pipe 106 and a square water inlet pipe 110 are fixedly arranged on the circular water inlet cover plate 105. An electromagnetic valve 120 is fixedly installed on the sealing circular plate 117. The valve body of the electromagnetic valve 120 is rotatably connected to the feed pipe 106. The electromagnetic valve 120 is used to connect the feed pipe 106 with the mixing chamber. Four adjusting circular plates 118 are rotatably installed on the sealing circular plate 117 in a circumferential array. The adjusting circular plates 118 are movably connected to the corresponding heat exchange pipes 119. The axes of the adjusting circular plates 118 and the corresponding adjusting circular plates 128 are on the same straight line.
[0034] Four adjusting circular plates 123 are rotatably installed on the sealing circular plate 122 in a circumferential array. The adjusting circular plates 123 are movably connected to the corresponding heat exchange pipes 119. The axes of the adjusting circular plates 123 and the corresponding adjusting circular plates 128 are on the same straight line. A spline short shaft 131 is fixedly installed on the sealing circular plate 122. A limiting cylindrical block 132 is fixedly installed on the sealing circular plate 121. When the spline short shaft 131 and the limiting cylindrical block 132 are engaged, they form a spline sliding fit.
[0035] In the initial position, that is, when the circular water inlet cover plate 105 and the circular water outlet cover plate 109 are at the closest position, the end face of the heat exchange pipe 119 farthest from the sealing circular plate 122 and the surface of the sealing circular plate 117 farthest from the sealing circular plate 122 are on the same plane. At this time, the heat exchange pipe 119 is in an engaged state with the corresponding sealing circular plate 117 and sealing circular plate 122. At this time, under the action of the four heat exchange pipes 119, the closed chamber one and the closed chamber two are in a connected state.
[0036] Cooling water is injected into the closed chamber one through the square water inlet pipe 110. The cooling water in the closed chamber one enters the closed chamber two along the heat exchange pipe 119 and then is discharged from the square drain pipe 112. When the cooling water passes through the mixing chamber along the heat exchange pipe 119, it realizes heat exchange and cooling of the liquid inside the mixing chamber. Cooling water is injected into the closed chamber three through the square water pipe 111 with the same orientation as the square water inlet pipe 110. The cooling water in the closed chamber three is discharged from the square water pipe 111 with the same orientation as the square drain pipe 112. The cooling water in the closed chamber three exchanges heat and cools the inside of the mixing chamber from the outside of the mixing cylinder 114.
[0037] Adjusting position circular plate three 128 is fixedly installed with an adjusting position tooth ring 129. An auxiliary tooth ring 134 is fixedly installed on the circular water outlet cover plate 109. The adjusting position tooth rings 129 are all engaged with the auxiliary tooth ring 134 to form a gear pair. In the initial position, the heat exchange tubes 119 are all located at the position closest to the axis of the sealing circular plate two 121. Driving the sealing circular plate two 121 to rotate relative to the circular water outlet cover plate 109, the heat exchange tubes 119, the adjusting position circular plate three 128, and the adjusting position tooth rings 129 rotate synchronously. Under the action of the heat exchange tubes 119, the sealing circular plate one 117 and the sealing circular plate three 122 rotate synchronously. Since the auxiliary tooth ring 134 cannot rotate, when the adjusting position tooth ring 129 rotates around the axis of the sealing circular plate two 121, under the action of the auxiliary tooth ring 134, the adjusting position tooth ring 129 rotates self - rotatively, and the adjusting position circular plate three 128 rotates self - rotatively synchronously, that is, the heat exchange tubes 119 rotate around the axis of the corresponding adjusting position circular plate three 128. Under the action of the heat exchange tubes 119, the corresponding adjusting position circular plate one 118 and the adjusting position circular plate two 123 rotate self - rotatively synchronously, that is, while the heat exchange tubes 119 stir the inside of the mixing chamber, the stirring position of the heat exchange tubes 119 is changed.
[0038] A stirring tooth ring 130 is fixedly installed on the sealing circular plate two 121. A mixing tooth ring 115 is fixedly installed on the heat exchange cylinder 104. A transmission unit is arranged between the mixing tooth ring 115 and the stirring tooth ring 130. The transmission unit includes a transmission spline shaft 138 and a transmission shaft 139. The transmission spline shaft 138 is rotatably installed on the heat exchange cylinder 104, and the transmission shaft 139 is rotatably installed on the circular water outlet cover plate 109. When the transmission spline shaft 138 and the transmission shaft 139 are engaged, they form a spline sliding fit. A driven gear two 136 is fixedly installed on the transmission spline shaft 138. The driven gear two 136 and the mixing tooth ring 115 are engaged to form a gear pair. A driven gear one 135 is fixedly installed on the transmission shaft 139. A linkage gear 133 is also rotatably installed on the circular water outlet cover plate 109. The linkage gear 133 forms gear pairs with both the stirring tooth ring 130 and the driven gear one 135. A mixing motor 137 is fixedly installed on the heat exchange cylinder 104. The output shaft of the mixing motor 137 is fixedly connected to the transmission spline shaft 138.
[0039] In the initial position, that is, when the circular water inlet cover plate 105 and the circular water outlet cover plate 109 are at the closest position, the transmission spline shaft 138 and the transmission shaft 139 are in the engaged state, and the spline short shaft 131 and the limit cylindrical block 132 are in the engaged state. Under the action of the spline short shaft 131 and the limit cylindrical block 132, when the sealing circular plate two 121 rotates, the sealing circular plate three 122 rotates synchronously.
[0040] Start the hybrid motor 137 to drive the transmission spline shaft 138 to rotate. The transmission shaft 139 rotates synchronously, and the first driven gear 135 and the second driven gear 136 rotate synchronously. Under the action of the second driven gear 136, the hybrid gear ring 115 rotates, that is, the hybrid cylinder 114 rotates relative to the heat exchange cylinder 104. Under the action of the first driven gear 135, the linkage gear 133 rotates, and then the stirring gear ring 130 rotates, that is, the second sealing circular plate 121 rotates relative to the circular water outlet cover plate 109. Under the action of the linkage gear 133, the first driven gear 135, and the second driven gear 136, the hybrid cylinder 114 and the second sealing circular plate 121 rotate in opposite directions.
[0041] An auxiliary circular plate 108 is also fixedly installed on the outer side of the heat exchange cylinder 104. Four auxiliary inner push rods 127 are fixedly arranged in a circumferential array on the auxiliary circular plate 108. The auxiliary inner push rods 127 are all slidably matched with the circular water outlet cover plate 109. The diameter of the auxiliary inner push rod 127 is equal to the inner diameter of the heat exchange tube 119. The auxiliary inner push rod 127 is used for cleaning the inside of the heat exchange tube 119. When the heat exchange tube 119 is at the position closest to the axis of the second sealing circular plate 121, the axis of the heat exchange tube 119 and the axis of the corresponding auxiliary inner push rod 127 are on the same straight line.
[0042] In the initial position, the auxiliary inner push rod 127 does not contact the heat exchange tube 119. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the heat exchange tube 119, first start the hybrid motor 137 to make the heat exchange tube 119 not at the position closest to the axis of the second sealing circular plate 121. At this time, the axis of the heat exchange tube 119 and the axis of the corresponding auxiliary inner push rod 127 are on the same straight line. Then start the deployment motor 113 to drive the double-headed threaded screw rod 107 to rotate, that is, the circular water inlet cover plate 105 and the circular water outlet cover plate 109 move away from each other, that is, at this time the heat exchange tube 119 moves towards the auxiliary circular plate 108. Under the action of the second positioning circular plate 123, the outer circumferential surface of the heat exchange tube 119 is scraped and cleaned, and the auxiliary inner push rod 127 is engaged with the inside of the heat exchange tube 119. That is, under the action of the auxiliary inner push rod 127, the inner circumferential surface of the heat exchange tube 119 is scraped and cleaned.
[0043] Four auxiliary stirring rods 124 are fixedly arranged in a circumferential array on the second sealing circular plate 121. The auxiliary stirring rods 124 and the third positioning circular plate 128 are arranged at intervals. The auxiliary stirring rods 124 are all slidably matched with the third sealing circular plate 122. When driving the heat exchange tube 119 to rotate relative to the axis of the hybrid cylinder 114, the auxiliary stirring rods 124 rotate synchronously. That is, under the action of the auxiliary stirring rods 124, the inside of the mixing chamber is assisted in stirring, thereby improving the mixing effect inside the mixing chamber.
[0044] A cleaning component is provided on the heat exchange cylinder 104. The cleaning component includes an annular outer scraping plate 116 and an annular inner scraping plate 125. The annular outer scraping plate 116 is used to clean the outer circumferential surface of the mixing cylinder 114. Connecting rods are symmetrically and fixedly arranged between the annular outer scraping plate 116 and the circular water outlet cover plate 109. Under the action of the connecting rods, the circular water outlet cover plate 109 and the annular outer scraping plate 116 are fixedly connected. The inner circumferential surface of the annular outer scraping plate 116 contacts the outer circumferential surface of the mixing cylinder 114, and the outer circumferential surface of the annular outer scraping plate 116 contacts the inner circumferential surface of the heat exchange cylinder 104. In the initial position, the annular outer scraping plate 116 is not at the position farthest from the sealing circular plate one 117. The annular inner scraping plate 125 is used to clean the inner circumferential surface of the mixing cylinder 114. Four strip-shaped scraping plates 126 are fixedly arranged in a circumferential array between the annular inner scraping plate 125 and the sealing circular plate one 117. Both the annular inner scraping plate 125 and the strip-shaped scraping plates 126 contact the inner circumferential surface of the mixing cylinder 114. Under the action of the strip-shaped scraping plates 126, the annular inner scraping plate 125 and the sealing circular plate one 117 are fixedly connected.
[0045] Working principle: Start the transposition motor 102 to drive the transposition circular plate 103 and the heat exchange cylinder 104 to rotate synchronously, so that the heat exchange cylinder 104 is in a horizontal state. Then open the solenoid valve 120, and inject the prepared water, sweetener, acidulant, essence and pigment into the mixing chamber through the feed pipe 106 and the solenoid valve 120 according to a certain ratio. After the injection is completed, close the solenoid valve 120. Then start the mixing motor 137. Under the action of the transmission unit, the mixing tooth ring 115 and the stirring tooth ring 130 rotate in opposite directions, that is, the mixing cylinder 114 rotates, and the sealing circular plate one 117, the heat exchange pipe 119, the sealing circular plate two 121 and the sealing circular plate three 122 rotate synchronously. That is, under the action of the mixing cylinder 114 and the heat exchange pipe 119, the liquid in the mixing chamber is stirred and mixed. And under the action of the position adjustment tooth ring 129 and the auxiliary tooth ring 134, while the heat exchange pipe 119 rotates relative to the axis of the sealing circular plate two 121, the heat exchange pipe 119 rotates relative to the axis of the corresponding position adjustment circular plate three 128, that is, the stirring position of the heat exchange pipe 119 in the mixing chamber is changed. The auxiliary stirring rod 124 stirs inside the mixing chamber, and the strip-shaped scraping plates 126 scrape the inside of the mixing chamber, so as to prevent the raw materials from adhering to the inner wall of the mixing chamber, thereby improving the mixing effect of the liquid inside the mixing chamber, that is, realizing the homogenization treatment of the liquid in the mixing chamber, and thus being able to form a uniform beverage base liquid.
[0046] After stirring for a certain period of time to form a beverage base liquid, carbon dioxide gas is injected into the mixing chamber through the feed pipe 106 and the solenoid valve 120. After the carbon dioxide gas enters the beverage base liquid in the mixing chamber, it will react chemically with water molecules to generate carbonic acid, and then cooling water is introduced into the closed chamber one and the closed chamber three through the square water inlet pipe 110 and the square water pipe 111 farthest from the lower surface of the base 101 respectively. The cooling water in the closed chamber three exchanges heat and cools the inside of the mixing chamber from the outside of the mixing cylinder 114. The cooling water in the closed chamber one passes through the mixing chamber along the heat exchange tube 119, that is, the liquid is cooled from the inside of the mixing chamber, and then enters the closed chamber two, and is finally discharged from the square drain pipe 112, that is, the liquid is cooled under the action of the cooling water, so that the heat generated by the reaction to generate carbonic acid will be quickly taken away, thereby keeping the temperature of the liquid constant, and a lower temperature is conducive to the dissolution of carbon dioxide.
[0047] While the heat exchange tube 119 is cooling the liquid inside the mixing chamber, the heat exchange tube 119 is still stirring the inside of the mixing chamber, thereby increasing the contact area between the liquid and the carbon dioxide gas, thereby accelerating the dissolution process of the carbon dioxide.
[0048] After the production of the bubble beverage is completed, the transposition motor 102 is started to drive the transposition circular plate 103 and the heat exchange cylinder 104 to rotate synchronously, so that the circular water inlet cover plate 105 is located directly below the circular water outlet cover plate 109, and the feed pipe 106 is connected to the storage cylinder, and then the bubble beverage in the mixing chamber is discharged into the storage cylinder through the feed pipe 106 and the solenoid valve 120.
[0049] When it is necessary to clean the inside of the device, the mixing motor 137 is first started to make the heat exchange tube 119 correspond to the position of the corresponding auxiliary inner push rod 127, and then the expansion motor 113 is started to make the circular water inlet cover plate 105 and the circular water outlet cover plate 109 move in the direction of each other. During the movement of the circular water outlet cover plate 109, the heat exchange tube 119 moves synchronously, the adjustment circular plate 123 scrapes off the attachments on the outer circumferential surface of the heat exchange tube 119, and the auxiliary inner push rod 127 scrapes off the inner circumferential surface of the heat exchange tube 119. During the movement of the circular water inlet cover plate 105, the annular outer scraper 116 scrapes off the attachments on the outer circumferential surface of the mixing cylinder 114, and the annular inner scraper 125 scrapes off the attachments on the inner circumferential surface of the mixing cylinder 114, and finally the circular water inlet cover plate 105 and the circular water outlet cover plate 109 move to the farthest position. At this time, the end of the mixing cylinder 114 farthest from the circular water outlet cover plate 109 is in an open state, so that it is convenient to clean the attachments scraped off from the inside of the mixing cylinder 114.
[0050] The present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can, based on the above concepts, make various changes without creative efforts, and all such changes fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
