[0146] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described; however, as long as these combinations of technical features do not contradict each other, they should be considered within the scope of this specification.

[0147] like Figures 1 to 32 As shown, a beverage machine provided in one embodiment of the present invention includes a water purification mechanism, a heating mechanism 290, a beverage processing mechanism, a heat preservation container 220, a water dispenser 201, a water pump assembly, and a valve assembly 230.

[0148] Among them, see Figures 1 to 5 The water purification mechanism includes a filter assembly 203 and a purified water tank 204 connected to the outlet of the filter assembly 203. A heating mechanism 290 is used to heat the purified water flowing through it. The beverage handling mechanism includes a cup assembly 210. The water pump assembly includes a first water pump 250 for pumping purified water from the purified water tank 204 through the heating mechanism 290, and a second water pump 280 for pumping water from the insulated container 220 through the heating mechanism 290. A valve assembly 230 selectively controls the delivery of purified water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 to the water dispenser 201, the cup assembly 210, or the insulated container 220.

[0149] The aforementioned beverage machine filters raw water through a water purification system, thus possessing a water purification function. It also processes the purified water and other ingredients delivered to the cup assembly 210 through a beverage processing system to produce a beverage, thus possessing a beverage processing function. Furthermore, it maintains the temperature of the purified water heated by the heating system 290 through a heat preservation container 220, enabling it to quickly dispense hot water at a high flow rate when the user requires hot water exceeding a preset temperature, saving the user time. Therefore, the aforementioned beverage machine simultaneously possesses the functions of water purification, beverage processing, heat preservation, and rapid dispensing of hot water at a high flow rate.

[0150] Specifically, the raw water is first filtered through the filter assembly 203 and then flows into the purified water tank 204 for later use. The first water pump 250 pumps the purified water from the tank 204 and it flows through the heating mechanism 290. The heating mechanism 290 determines whether to perform heating treatment according to control commands, and then the control valve assembly 230 delivers the purified water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 to the water dispenser 201, the cup assembly 210, or the insulated container 220. That is, the purified water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 can be used directly for drinking, for making beverages, or stored in the insulated container 220. The second water pump 280 can also pump water from the insulated container 220 and it flows through the heating mechanism 290. The heating mechanism 290 determines whether to perform heating treatment according to control commands, and then the control valve assembly 230 delivers the purified water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 to the water dispenser 201, the cup assembly 210, or the insulated container 220. The purified water in the insulated container 220 can be reheated and then used directly for drinking, making beverages, or stored back in the insulated container 220.

[0151] Therefore, in the aforementioned water dispenser, the water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 is filtered, making the drinking water output directly from the water dispenser 201 more suitable for consumption. Furthermore, the filtered water used to make beverages can further enhance their flavor.

[0152] Additionally, it is understood that the heating mechanism 290 is used to heat the flowing purified water. However, when the heating mechanism 290 is not working, it cannot heat the purified water flowing through it. Therefore, the valve assembly 230 can control the flow of purified water through the heating mechanism 290 to the water dispenser 201 to obtain room-temperature purified water. Alternatively, if the purified water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 comes from the insulated container 220, appropriately heated purified water can flow out through the water dispenser 201 for convenient drinking. Of course, the valve assembly 230 can also control the flow of purified water through the heating mechanism 290 to the cup assembly 210 for preparing beverages; for example, if the purified water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 is boiling water, the cup assembly 210 can be used to brew tea.

[0153] Understandably, if the purified water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 comes from the insulated container 220, since the purified water in the insulated container 220 itself has a higher temperature, it can be quickly heated to a higher temperature by the heating mechanism 290, thus its flow rate can be faster. However, if the purified water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 comes from the purified water tank 204, since the purified water in the purified water tank 204 itself has a temperature close to room temperature, it takes a longer time to be heated to the required temperature by the heating mechanism 290, thus its flow rate needs to be slower. Therefore, based on the above requirements, the pumping rate of the second water pump 280 can be set to be greater than the pumping rate of the first water pump 250 to meet the aforementioned flow rate requirements.

[0154] Optionally, in this embodiment, both the first water pump 250 and the second water pump 280 are diaphragm pumps, which can better prevent water leakage.

[0155] In this embodiment, the filtration assembly 203 includes a pre-filter composite element, an RO reverse osmosis element, and a post-activated carbon element. That is, raw water is sequentially filtered through the pre-filter composite element, the RO reverse osmosis element, and the post-activated carbon element to form purified water, which is then transported to the purified water tank 204. It is understood that in other feasible embodiments, the composition of the filter elements in the filtration assembly is not limited to this, and may also include other filter elements that meet the filtration requirements. Of course, depending on the filtration effect of the filter elements, more or fewer than three filter elements may be used.

[0156] In this embodiment, the beverage machine also includes a housing 202, which has an inner cavity. The water purification mechanism, heating mechanism 290, insulated container 220, water pump assembly, and valve assembly 230 are all located within the inner cavity of the housing 202 to protect these components from damage caused by the external environment. Furthermore, the placement of the water purification mechanism, heating mechanism 290, insulated container 220, water pump assembly, and valve assembly 230 within the inner cavity of the housing 202 also enhances the cleanliness of the beverage machine's appearance.

[0157] The housing 202 includes a front panel 2022, the outer surface of which has a recessed area 2023. The beverage processing mechanism is located on the outer surface of the recessed area 2023 of the front panel 2022. The recessed area 2023 is recessed inwards, that is, it is recessed towards the inner cavity of the housing 202. Because the recessed area 2023 is recessed inwards, and the beverage processing mechanism is located on the outer surface of the recessed area 2023 of the front panel 2022, the overall size of the beverage machine is reduced, the space occupied is minimized, and the miniaturization requirements of the beverage machine are met.

[0158] Of course, it is understandable that the recessed area 2023 of the front panel 2022 is recessed inward, occupying part of the space inside the cover 202. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably set the relative positional relationship of the structure located inside the cover 202.

[0159] Specifically, in this embodiment, the heating mechanism 290 is located inside the front panel 2022 and is arranged adjacent to the front panel 2022; thereby reducing the distance between the heating unit and the beverage processing mechanism, and thus making the length of the connecting pipe between the heating unit and the beverage processing mechanism smaller. On the one hand, this makes the transportation distance of the heated purified water shorter, thereby better ensuring the temperature of the purified water delivered to the beverage processing mechanism; on the other hand, it also makes the space occupied by the connecting pipe between the heating unit and the beverage processing mechanism smaller.

[0160] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the insulated container 220 is located inside the front panel 2022 and is arranged adjacent to the front panel 2022, thereby reducing the distance between the insulated container 220 and the second water pump 280. This results in a shorter connecting pipe between the insulated container 220 and the second water pump 280, thus reducing the delivery distance of the pumped insulated water from the insulated container 220 and minimizing heat loss during delivery. On the other hand, it also reduces the space occupied by the connecting pipe between the second water pump 280 and the insulated container 220, better meeting the miniaturization requirements of the beverage machine.

[0161] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cover 202 also includes a first side panel 2024 adjacent to the front panel 2022. The first water pump 250 is located inside the first side panel 2024 and is adjacent to both the second water pump 280 and the first side panel 2024, thereby making the distance between the first water pump 250 and the heating mechanism 290 closer and reducing the length of the connecting pipe between the first water pump 250 and the heating mechanism 290.

[0162] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the purified water tank 204 is located inside the front panel 2022 and is disposed adjacent to the front panel 2022. This results in a smaller distance between the first water pump 250 and the purified water tank 204. On the one hand, this allows for a shorter length of the connecting pipe between the first water pump 250 and the purified water tank 204, thus reducing the space occupied by the connecting pipe and effectively preventing the connecting pipe from easily bending due to its long length.

[0163] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the heating mechanism 290, the insulation container 220, and the water pump assembly are all located on the bottom side of the purified water tank 204. On the one hand, the purified water tank 204 is located on the top side, which facilitates the diversion of purified water in the purified water tank 204 to flow through the heating mechanism 290, reducing the burden on the first water pump 250 and improving the efficiency and service life of the first water pump 250; on the other hand, the fact that the heating mechanism 290, the insulation container 220, and the water pump assembly are all located on the bottom side of the purified water tank 204 allows the beverage machine to be smaller in the direction perpendicular to the depth of the purified water tank 204 while ensuring the volume of the purified water tank 204; furthermore, the location of the purified water tank 204 on the top side facilitates the cleaning of the purified water tank 204.

[0164] In this embodiment, the beverage machine also includes a base plate assembly 205 and a raw water tank mounting position 2051. The raw water tank mounting position 2051 and the cover 202 are both fixedly mounted on the base plate assembly 205. The raw water tank mounting position 2051 is adjacent to the cover 202, and is located on the side of the cover 202 away from the front panel 2022. That is, the raw water tank mounting position 2051 is located at the rear end of the beverage machine, facilitating the installation and removal of the raw water tank.

[0165] Furthermore, in this embodiment, along the arrangement direction of the original water tank mounting position 2051 and the cover 202 on the base plate assembly 205, i.e. Figure 1 In the MM direction, the filter assembly 203 is located between the purified water tank 204 and the raw water tank installation position 2051. This arrangement, with the raw water tank, filter assembly 203, and purified water tank 204 sequentially positioned at the raw water tank installation position 2051, is essentially consistent with the process of storing purified water obtained after filtration of the raw water in the raw water tank by the filter assembly 203 in the purified water tank 204. This makes the filtration process smoother and also shortens the connecting pipes between the raw water tank and the filter assembly 203, and between the filter assembly 203 and the purified water tank 204.

[0166] In this embodiment, the original water tank mounting position 2051 is detachably and fixedly connected to the base plate assembly 205. It is understood that in other feasible embodiments, the original water tank mounting position 2051 and the base plate assembly 205 can also be fixedly connected, or integrally formed.

[0167] Specifically, in this embodiment, as Figures 6 to 13 As shown, the valve assembly 230 includes a main body 110, a first electromagnetic flow guiding unit, and a second electromagnetic flow guiding unit. Specifically, see [link to details]. Figures 8 to 12The main body 110 has a first cavity 111, a second cavity 112, a first connecting channel 114 connecting the first cavity 111 and the second cavity 112, a water inlet 116 communicating with the first cavity 111, a first water outlet 117 communicating with the first cavity 111, a second water outlet 118 communicating with the second cavity 112, and a third water outlet 119 communicating with the second cavity 112.

[0168] The first electromagnetic flow guiding unit can selectively switch between a first state and a second state to selectively block the first connecting channel 114 and the first outlet 117. When the first electromagnetic flow guiding unit is in the first state, it blocks the first connecting channel 114, and the first outlet 117 is connected to the first cavity 111. Therefore, the fluid entering the first cavity 111 from the inlet 116 flows out from the first outlet 117. Figure 8 When the first electromagnetic flow guiding unit is in the second state, it blocks the first outlet 117. The first cavity 111 and the second cavity 112 are connected through the first connecting channel 114. Therefore, the fluid entering the first cavity 111 from the inlet 116 flows to the second cavity 112 through the first connecting channel 114. Figure 12 and Figure 13 .

[0169] The second electromagnetic flow guiding unit can selectively switch between a third state and a fourth state to selectively block the second connecting channel 115 and the second outlet 118. When the second electromagnetic flow guiding unit is in the third state, it blocks the second connecting channel 115, and the second outlet 118 is connected to the second cavity 112. Therefore, the fluid flowing into the second cavity 112 flows out through the second outlet 118. Figure 21 When the second electromagnetic diversion unit is in the fourth state, the second outlet 118 is blocked. The second cavity 112 and the third outlet 119 are connected through the second connecting channel 115. Therefore, the fluid flowing into the second cavity 112 flows through the second connecting channel 115 to the third outlet 119, and then flows out from the third outlet 119. Figure 13 .

[0170] It is understood that the first cavity 111 and the second cavity 112 are connected. Therefore, if the first connecting channel 114 is not blocked, the fluid entering through the inlet 116 can flow into the first cavity 111 and the second cavity 112 in sequence. When the first electromagnetic diversion unit is in the first state, the fluid flows out through the first outlet 117; when the first electromagnetic diversion unit is in the second state and the second electromagnetic diversion unit is in the third state, the fluid flows out through the second outlet 118; when the first electromagnetic diversion unit is in the second state and the second electromagnetic diversion unit is in the fourth state, the fluid flows out through the third outlet 119.

[0171] Therefore, valve assembly 230 can adjust the states of the first electromagnetic flow guiding unit and the second electromagnetic flow guiding unit to allow liquid entering through inlet 116 to flow out from one of the first outlet 117, the second outlet 118, and the third outlet 119, thus achieving a one-in-multiple-outlet effect. Therefore, the requirement for a complex water circuit with one inlet and multiple outlets can be met by using only one valve assembly 230, avoiding the phenomenon of multiple valve assemblies 230 connected in series or parallel, resulting in a small footprint and low cost.

[0172] In this embodiment, the first water outlet 117 is connected to the water dispenser 201, that is, the first water outlet 117 is the water intake outlet. The second water outlet 118 is connected to the insulated container 220. The third water outlet 119 is connected to the cup body assembly 210. Thus, when water enters through the water inlet 116 and the first electromagnetic flow guiding unit is in the first state, water exits through the first water outlet 117. When water enters through the water inlet 116, the first electromagnetic flow guiding unit is in the second state, and the second electromagnetic flow guiding unit is in the third state, water exits through the second water outlet 118, and the water flowing out of the second water outlet 118 flows into the insulated container 220. When water enters through the water inlet 116, the first electromagnetic flow guiding unit is in the second state, and the second electromagnetic flow guiding unit is in the fourth state, water exits through the third water outlet 119, and the water flowing out of the third water outlet 119 flows into the cup body assembly 210.

[0173] Therefore, if there is a need for direct drinking, the water entering through the inlet 116 can be directed to the first state, allowing the water to flow out through the first outlet 117. If there is a need to process the water into beverages such as tea or juice, the water entering through the inlet 116 can be directed to the second state and the second electromagnetic flow unit to the fourth state, allowing the water to flow out through the third outlet 119. If there is no need for direct drinking or processing into beverages such as tea or juice, and only the heated water needs to be kept warm, the water entering through the inlet 116 can be directed to the second state and the second electromagnetic flow unit to the third state, allowing the water to flow out through the second outlet 118 and into the insulated container 220 for storage. The beverage machine provided in this embodiment, utilizing the above-mentioned valve assembly, combined with the cup assembly, water outlet, and insulated container, enables the beverage machine to provide various liquids such as purified water and beverages, and can quickly provide water at a higher temperature, saving users time when getting hot water or brewing beverages.

[0174] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the main body 110 also has a second connecting channel 115 connecting the second cavity 112. The third outlet 119 is connected to the second cavity 112 through the second connecting channel 115. Therefore, when the second electromagnetic diversion unit is in the fourth state, it blocks the second outlet 118, and the second cavity 112 and the third outlet 119 are connected through the second connecting channel 115. Thus, the fluid flowing into the second cavity 112 flows through the second connecting channel 115 to the third outlet 119, and then flows out from the third outlet 119. Figure 13 When the second electromagnetic flow guiding unit is in the third state, the second connecting channel 115 is blocked, so that the second outlet 118 is connected to the second cavity 112. Therefore, the fluid flowing into the second cavity 112 flows out through the second outlet 118. Figure 12 .

[0175] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the main body 110 also has a third cavity 113. The third cavity 113 is connected to the second cavity 112 through the second connecting channel 115, and the third outlet 119 is directly connected to the third cavity 113. Therefore, when the second electromagnetic diversion unit is in the fourth state, it blocks the second outlet 118. The second cavity 112 and the third cavity 113 are connected through the second connecting channel 115. Thus, the fluid flowing into the second cavity 112 flows through the second connecting channel 115 to the third cavity 113, and then flows out through the third outlet 119. Figure 13 .

[0176] Depend on Figure 7 and Figure 8 As can be seen, in this embodiment, the main body 110 includes an upper valve body 30, a lower valve body 40 fixedly connected to the upper valve body 30, and a support frame 50 disposed on the side of the lower valve body 40 away from the upper valve body 30. The support frame 50 is fixedly connected to the lower valve body 40. An inlet 116, a first outlet 117, and a second outlet 118 are disposed on the upper valve body, and a third outlet 119 is disposed on the lower valve body. Liquid flowing in through the inlet 116 can flow out through one of the first outlet 117, the second outlet 118, and the third outlet 119, thus, when the upper valve body 30 and the lower valve body 40 are fixedly connected, they have a connection for a flow channel and / or a connection for a cavity. Therefore, when the upper valve body 30 and the lower valve body 40 are fixedly connected, a sealing structure needs to be provided between the upper valve body 30 and the lower valve body 40 to prevent water from flowing out from the connection point between the upper and lower valve bodies. Specifically, in this embodiment, the sealing structure between the upper valve body 30 and the lower valve body 40 is a sealing ring 60. Of course, the size of the sealing ring 60 at different locations can be set as needed. Similarly, in this embodiment, a sealing ring 60 is also provided between the lower valve body 40 and the support frame 50. Of course, if the main body has an opening connecting the cavity or connecting channel to the outside, then while it is necessary to block the opening, it is also necessary to seal the opening. For example, Figure 7The sealing element 70 in the middle.

[0177] It is understood that, in other feasible embodiments, the main body may also be in two halves, or may be decomposed into several elements in other ways, as long as the interrelationship between the cavity, flow channel, inlet and outlet in this application is satisfied.

[0178] In this embodiment, the first electromagnetic diversion unit includes a first mover 131, a first coil 133 sleeved on the first mover 131, a first plug 135 located in the first cavity 111 and fixedly connected to the first mover 131, and a first reset member 137. When the first coil 133 is not energized, the first mover 131 is reset by the action of the first reset member 137, so that the first outlet 117 is blocked by the first plug 135, i.e., the first electromagnetic diversion unit is in the second state. Figure 12 When the first coil 133 is energized, the first mover 131 moves, thereby moving the first plug 135 so that the first connecting channel 114 is blocked by the first plug 135. That is, the first electromagnetic current-guiding unit is in the first state. Figure 8 .

[0179] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the reference... Figure 8 The first electromagnetic flow-guiding unit also includes a first connector 139 movably disposed within the first connecting channel 114. The two ends of the first connector 139 are fixedly connected to a first plug 135 and a first moving element 131, respectively. In the direction perpendicular to the extension of the first connecting channel 114, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first connector 139 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first connecting channel 114. Therefore, when the first plug 135 does not block the first connecting channel 114, the fluid in the first cavity 111 can flow to the second cavity 112 through the space between the first connector 139 and the sidewall of the first connecting channel 114.

[0180] It should be noted that the first coil 133 needs to be isolated from water, therefore the first coil 133 cannot be directly located inside the first cavity 111. In this embodiment, the first coil 133 is located outside the first cavity 111, and correspondingly, the first mover 131 is also located outside the first cavity 111. By passing the first connecting member 139, which connects the first mover 131 and the first plug 135, through the first connecting channel 114, there is no need to provide a separate through channel for the first connecting member 139, making the structure of the main body 110 simpler. In addition, in this embodiment, there is a gap between the first connecting member 139 and the side wall of the first connecting channel 114, which can also avoid friction between the first connecting member 139 and the side wall of the first connecting channel 114, thereby allowing the first mover 131 to drive the first plug 135 to move more smoothly.

[0181] In this embodiment, the first mover 131 and the first connector 139 are integrally formed. Of course, in other feasible embodiments, the first mover and the first connector can also be separately provided and fixedly connected. Alternatively, the first mover and the first connector can be connected by other connecting structures, enabling them to move together.

[0182] In this embodiment, the main body 110 also has a first accommodating space 1112, which is sealed and separated from the first communicating channel 114, meaning that liquid in the first communicating channel 114 will not flow into the first accommodating space 1112. A first moving element 131 is partially inserted into the first accommodating space 1112, and a first coil 133 is disposed within the first accommodating space 1112, with the first coil 133 sleeved on the first moving element 131. On one hand, energizing the first coil 133 can drive the first moving element 131 to move; on the other hand, it can also prevent fluid from flowing into the first accommodating space 1112 and causing a short circuit in the first coil 133. It is understood that the first accommodating space 1112 is located on the side of the first communicating channel 114 away from the first cavity 111.

[0183] In this embodiment, the first reset member 137 is an elastic member disposed within the first accommodating space 1112. Specifically, one end of the first reset member 137 abuts against the main body 110, and the other end abuts against the first moving element 131. Under the elastic force of the first reset member 137, the first moving element 131 moves along... Figure 8 The device moves upwards in the direction shown in the view until the first plug 135 blocks the first outlet 117, thus placing the first electromagnetic flow guiding unit in the second state. Correspondingly, after the first coil 133 is energized, the first moving element 131, under the magnetic force of the magnetic field generated by the first coil 133, overcomes the elastic force of the first reset element 137 and moves along... Figure 17 The view shown is moved downwards until the first plug 135 blocks the first connecting channel 114, so that the first electromagnetic flow-guiding unit is in the first state.

[0184] More specifically, in this embodiment, the first accommodating space 1112 is enclosed by the support frame 50. It is understood that in other feasible embodiments, the first accommodating space may also be located on the upper or lower valve body. Of course, in other feasible embodiments, if the main body structure is bi-half or is decomposed into several components using other decomposition methods, then the first accommodating space can be provided on one or more of the components constituting the main body, satisfying the positional and operational requirements of structures such as the first mover and the first coil.

[0185] In this embodiment, a frame 80 is also fixedly provided in the first accommodating space 1112, and the frame 80 is sleeved on the first moving part 131, and the first coil 133 is sleeved on the frame 80. On the one hand, this allows the first moving part 131 to be inserted more stably in the first accommodating space 1112, avoiding tilting of the first moving part 131; on the other hand, the frame 80 can also isolate the first moving part 131 and the first coil 133.

[0186] Specifically, one end of the first reset member 137 abuts against the frame 80, and the frame 80 is fixedly disposed in the first accommodating space 1112, thereby realizing the abutment between the first reset member 137 and the support frame 50, that is, realizing the abutment between the first reset member 137 and the support frame 50.

[0187] In this embodiment, the support frame 50 is also provided with a pressure plate 90 for sealing the first accommodating space 1112. On the one hand, this facilitates the sealing connection between the support frame 50 and the lower valve body 40, and on the other hand, it can effectively prevent structures such as the first coil, other than the first mover 131, from sliding out of the first accommodating space 1112.

[0188] Of course, it is understandable that in another feasible embodiment, when the first coil is not energized, the first moving element is reset under the action of the first reset member, which can also cause the first connecting channel to be blocked by the first plug, i.e., the first electromagnetic flow guiding unit is in the first state at this time. Correspondingly, when the first coil is energized, the first moving element moves to drive the first plug to move, so that the first outlet is blocked by the first plug, i.e., the first electromagnetic flow guiding unit is in the second state at this time. Of course, compared with valve assembly 230, the position of the first reset member needs to be adjusted at this time to change the direction of the reset force of the first reset member acting on the first moving element.

[0189] In addition, it is understood that in other feasible embodiments, the first electromagnetic current-guiding unit is not limited to this, as long as it can switch between the first state and the second state.

[0190] In this embodiment, the second electromagnetic diversion unit includes a second mover 151, a second coil 153 sleeved on the second mover 151, a second plug 155 located in the second cavity 112 and fixedly connected to the second mover 151, and a second reset member 157. When the second coil 153 is not energized, the second mover 151 is reset by the action of the second reset member 157, so that the second outlet 118 is blocked by the second plug 155, i.e., the second electromagnetic diversion unit is in the fourth state. Figure 13 When the second coil 153 is energized, the second mover 151 moves, thereby moving the second plug 155 so that the second connecting channel 115 is blocked by the second plug 155. That is, the second electromagnetic current-guiding unit is in the third state. Figure 12 .

[0191] In this embodiment, the second electromagnetic current-guiding unit has the same structure as the first electromagnetic current-guiding unit, and will not be described again here. Of course, it is understood that in other feasible embodiments, the structures of the second electromagnetic current-guiding unit and the first electromagnetic current-guiding unit can also be different, as long as they can each achieve their respective current-guiding functions.

[0192] Of course, in another feasible embodiment, the second coil is not energized, and the second mover is reset under the action of the second reset member, which can also cause the second connecting channel to be blocked by the second plug, that is, the second electromagnetic diversion unit is in the third state. Correspondingly, the second coil is energized, and the second mover moves to drive the second plug to move, so that the second outlet is blocked by the second plug, that is, the second electromagnetic diversion unit is in the fourth state.

[0193] In this embodiment, see Figures 8 to 10 The main body 110 also includes an intermediate cavity 1111, and the first cavity 111, the intermediate cavity 1111, and the second cavity 112 are sequentially connected. The first cavity 111 and the intermediate cavity 1111 are connected through a first connecting channel 114. The fluid in the first cavity 111 first flows through the first connecting channel 114 to the intermediate cavity 1111, and then from the intermediate cavity 1111 to the second cavity 112. Due to the arrangement of the first connecting member 139, the structure of the first connecting channel 114 can only extend in a straight line, or have a slight bend or curve, so that the first connecting member 139 can move within the first connecting channel 114. Therefore, if the second cavity 112 is directly connected to the first cavity 111 through the first connecting channel 114, the relative positional relationship between the first cavity 111 and the second cavity 112 is limited. However, in this application, by setting the intermediate cavity 1111, the position of the second cavity 112 can be freely selected as needed, thereby allowing the second outlet 118 to be freely set in the required position.

[0194] More specifically, the intermediate cavity 1111 and the second cavity 112 are connected by an intermediate connecting channel. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the intermediate cavity 1111 is located on the lower valve body 40, while the second cavity 112 is located on the upper valve body 30. Therefore, the intermediate connecting channel includes a first segment 102a on the lower valve body 40 and a second end 102b on the upper valve body 30. The first segment 102a connects to the intermediate cavity 1111, and the second segment 102b connects to the second cavity 112. Thus, through the connection of the first segment 102a and the second segment 102b, liquid in the intermediate cavity 1111 can flow into the second cavity 112 through the intermediate connecting channel.

[0195] In this embodiment, the valve assembly 230 further includes a first flow deflector 10 disposed in the first cavity 111 and partially located on the side of the first plug 135 near the inlet 116, to prevent the fluid flowing from the inlet 116 to the first cavity 111 from directly impacting the first plug 135, thereby preventing the first plug 135 from tilting or deforming due to fluid impact, so as to ensure the sealing effect of the first electromagnetic flow guiding unit in the first state and the second state respectively.

[0196] In this embodiment, the first baffle 10 extends to at least partially surround the first plug 135. Of course, it is understood that in other feasible embodiments, the first baffle 10 may be located only on the side of the first plug 135 near the inlet 116.

[0197] Similarly, in this embodiment, the valve assembly 230 also includes a second flow-blocking member 20 disposed in the second cavity 112 to prevent the fluid flowing into the second cavity 112 from directly impacting the second plug 155, thereby preventing the second plug 155 from tilting or deforming due to fluid impact, so as to ensure the sealing effect of the second electromagnetic flow-guiding unit in the second state and the third state respectively.

[0198] In this embodiment, the second flow-blocking member 20 is also at least partially arranged around the second plug 155. Similarly, in another feasible embodiment, the second flow-blocking member 20 is not limited to being arranged around the second plug 155, as long as it can prevent the fluid flowing into the second cavity 112 from directly impacting the second plug 155.

[0199] Specifically, in this embodiment, the beverage machine 200 further includes an insulated container 220 and a second cup body 212. A first water outlet 117 is a water intake outlet, a second water outlet 118 is connected to the insulated container 220, and a third water outlet 119 is connected to the second cup body 212. Thus, when water enters through the inlet 116 and the first electromagnetic flow guiding unit is in a first state, water exits through the first outlet 117. When water enters through the inlet 116, the first electromagnetic flow guiding unit is in a second state, and the second electromagnetic flow guiding unit is in a third state, water exits through the second outlet 118, and the water flowing from the second outlet 118 flows into the insulated container 220. When water enters through the inlet 116, the first electromagnetic flow guiding unit is in a second state, and the second electromagnetic flow guiding unit is in a fourth state, water exits through the third outlet 119, and the water flowing from the third outlet 119 flows into the second cup body 212.

[0200] Therefore, if there is a need for direct drinking, the water entering through the inlet 116 can be directed to the first state, allowing the water to flow out through the first outlet 117. If there is a need to process the water into beverages such as tea or juice, the water entering through the inlet 116 can be directed to the second state and the second electromagnetic flow unit to the fourth state, allowing the water to flow out through the third outlet 119. If there is no need for direct drinking or processing into beverages such as tea or juice, and only the heated water needs to be kept warm, the water entering through the inlet 116 can be directed to the second state and the second electromagnetic flow unit to the third state, allowing the water to flow out through the second outlet 118 and into the insulated container 220 for storage. The beverage machine provided in this embodiment, utilizing the aforementioned valve assembly, combined with the cup assembly, water outlet, and insulated container, enables the beverage machine to provide various liquids such as purified water and beverages, and can quickly provide water at a higher temperature, saving users time when obtaining hot water or brewing beverages.

[0201] Of course, it is understandable that in another feasible embodiment, the correspondence between the insulated container, the cup assembly and the water outlet can be readjusted according to the position of the insulated container and the cup assembly relative to the valve assembly.

[0202] like Figure 1 , Figures 14 to 23 As shown, the beverage handling mechanism also includes a water outlet base 400 located on the bottom side of the cup assembly. Specifically, the water outlet base 400 includes a base frame 410, a water outlet 430, a top member 450, and an electric drive assembly 470. The water outlet 430 is movably mounted on the base frame 410. The water outlet 430 moves to switch between a first position and a second position. The top member 450 has a first connecting portion 451 rotatably connected to the base frame 410, a second connecting portion 453 offset from the first connecting portion 451, and a top portion 455 offset from the first connecting portion 451. The top member 450 is rotatable to switch the top portion 455 between a raised position and a lowered position. When the top portion 455 changes from the lowered position to the raised position, it raises the water outlet 430 to the first position. A schematic diagram showing the structure when the top portion 455 is in the raised position and the water outlet 430 is in the first position is shown below. Figure 19 and Figure 23 When the top 455 switches from the raised position to the lowered position, the water outlet 430 can be forced to fall back to the second position. See the structural diagram showing the top 455 in the lowered position and the water outlet 430 in the second position. Figure 15 and Figure 22 The electric drive assembly 470 is used to drive the second connecting portion 453 of the top member 450 to rotate the top member 450 to the top 455 in the lifted position.

[0203] The bottom of the cup assembly 210 has a water outlet 211 that mates with the spout 430. A valve core 2125 is located at the water outlet 211. When the spout 430 moves from the second position to the first position, the spout 430 drives the valve core 2125 to move in the first direction. After the valve core 2125 disengages from the driving force of the spout 430, it can automatically move in the second direction. The first direction refers to the direction extending along the water outlet 211 and pointing towards the inner cavity of the cup assembly 210. The second direction refers to the direction extending along the water outlet 211 and away from the inner cavity of the cup assembly 210.

[0204] Specifically, in this embodiment, as the spout 430 moves in a direction extending along the outlet 211 and away from the inner cavity of the cup assembly 210, the spout 430 is driven to move from a first position to a second position. When the spout 430 is in the first position, the valve core 2125 remains open. When the spout 430 is in the second position, the valve core 2125 remains automatically closed.

[0205] The aforementioned water outlet base 400 is configured such that the top part 450 is driven to rotate by the electric drive assembly 470, thereby causing the water outlet 430 to switch between the first position and the second position. This allows the valve core at the water outlet of the cup assembly to move closer to or further away from the inner cavity of the cup assembly, thereby opening or closing the valve core. In other words, the beverage machine can continuously dispense water without the need for continuous operation of the control button.

[0206] Of course, in another feasible embodiment, if the valve core 2125 automatically remains open without the action of the water outlet 430, then when the water outlet 430 is in the first position, the valve core 2125 remains closed. When the water outlet 430 is in the second position, the valve core 2125 remains automatically open.

[0207] It should be noted that, in another feasible embodiment, when the spout moves from the second position to the first position, it can also drive the valve core to move in the opposite direction, that is, drive the valve core to move in a direction along the extension direction of the spout and away from the inner cavity of the beverage container. Correspondingly, after the valve core is released from the driving force of the spout, it can automatically move in a direction along the extension direction of the spout and towards the inner cavity of the beverage container. Specifically, a transmission mechanism such as a gear and rack drive can be used so that when the spout drives the valve core to move, the movement directions of the spout and the valve core are opposite.

[0208] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first connecting portion 451 and the second connecting portion 453 are located at opposite ends of the top member 450, and the top 455 is located between the first connecting portion 451 and the second connecting portion 453. It is understood that in other feasible embodiments, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are not limited to being located at opposite ends of the top member. Similarly, the top is not limited to being located between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. The first connecting portion enables a rotatable connection between the top member and the base frame, and the second connecting portion of the top member is driven to rotate so that the top member is in the lifted position by an electric drive assembly.

[0209] In this embodiment, the top member 450 is rotatably connected to the base frame 410, which effectively prevents the top member 450 from shifting, thereby enabling a more stable drive for the water outlet 430 to switch between the first and second positions. Simultaneously, it allows the top member 455 to switch more precisely between the raised and lowered positions. When the top member 455 is in the raised position, it can more precisely raise the water outlet 430 to the first position, and when the top member 455 is in the lowered position, it can more precisely lower the water outlet 430 to the second position.

[0210] Of course, it is understandable that the beverage machine with the water outlet 400 has a control system, which controls the operation of the electric drive assembly 470 after receiving the water dispensing instruction.

[0211] It should be noted that the participants Figure 21 The spout 430 has a flow channel 431 with openings at both ends. The two ends of the flow channel 431 are a first end 4311 and a fourth end 4313, respectively. The spout 430 is used to connect with the cup assembly on the beverage machine, and the beverage in the cup assembly flows out from the spout 430. Specifically, the first end 4311 of the flow channel 431 connects with the cup assembly. The beverage in the cup assembly flows into the flow channel 431 from the first end 4311 and flows out from the fourth end 4313 of the flow channel 431.

[0212] Additionally, it should be noted that in this embodiment, when the water outlet 430 moves from the second position to the first position, it can push the valve core to move, thereby changing the opening and closing state of the valve core. Specifically, in this embodiment, a pusher 433 is provided on the inner wall of the flow channel 431 of the water outlet 430. During the process of the water outlet 430 moving from the second position to the first position, the pusher 433 abuts against the valve core to push the valve core to move.

[0213] Optionally, in this embodiment, the pusher 433 is completely located within the flow channel 431 of the spout. Thus, when the beverage in the cup assembly flows through the flow channel 431 of the spout 430, the pusher 433 can serve to guide the flow.

[0214] Furthermore, the end of the pusher 433 that abuts against the valve core is spaced apart from the first end 4311 of the flow channel 431, that is, the end of the pusher 433 near the first end 4311 of the flow channel 431 is spaced apart from the first end 4311 of the flow channel 431. On the one hand, this allows the liquid to flow out more smoothly from the fourth end 4313 of the flow channel 431; on the other hand, it also prevents the beverage flowing into the flow channel 431 from flowing out from the first end 4311 of the flow channel 431, thereby preventing the electric drive components and other structures on the water outlet 400 from getting damp and affecting the operation of the electric drive components and other structures, and also preventing the beverage from adhering to the top and bottom components and other structures, thus affecting the cleanliness of the top and bottom components and other structures, and preventing the growth of bacteria, etc.

[0215] In addition, in this embodiment, the flow channel 431 is provided with two pushers 433 that are circumferentially spaced along the flow channel 431. This can balance the hydraulic pressure of the beverage flowing into the flow channel 431 of the spout 430 to a certain extent, so that the beverage can flow out more smoothly from the fourth end 4313 of the flow channel 431.

[0216] In this embodiment, the two pushers 433 have identical structures and are equal in size, and are positioned relative to the axis of the drainage channel 431. This ensures axial force balance on the valve core when it is pushed to move, preventing one-sided force concentration. It is understood that in the other two feasible embodiments, the number of pushers in the drainage channel is not limited to two. Furthermore, the size and shape of different pushers can be different, and the spacing between adjacent pushers can be the same or different.

[0217] Of course, in another feasible embodiment, the pusher can also be located on the outside or end of the outlet nozzle, capable of pushing the valve core to move. Alternatively, the valve core can be moved directly through the end of the outlet nozzle.

[0218] Of course, in other feasible embodiments, the valve core can also be moved in the opposite direction by moving the water outlet 430, such as by setting a gear transmission mechanism between the water outlet and the valve core.

[0219] In this embodiment, the movement of the valve core at the outlet of the cup assembly is controlled directly by the movement of the spout 430, avoiding the use of other components, thus making the structure of the water outlet base 400 simpler.

[0220] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first connecting portion 451 and the second connecting portion 453 of the top member 450 are relatively fixed. The axis of rotation of the first connecting portion 451 of the top member 450 relative to the base frame 410 is the first axis a. The electric drive assembly 470 drives the second connecting portion 453 of the top member 450 to rotate around the first axis a, so that the top member 450 rotates around the first axis a.

[0221] More specifically, in this embodiment, both the first connecting portion 451 and the second connecting portion 453 of the top member 450 are raised relative to the top 455. Of course, in other feasible embodiments, the first connecting portion 451 and the second connecting portion 453 of the top member 450 are not limited to being raised relative to the top 455. The structure of the top member 450 can be any regular or irregular shape, ensuring that the electric drive assembly 470 can drive the second connecting portion 453 to move, thereby allowing the top member 450 to rotate.

[0222] Of course, in another feasible embodiment, if the first connecting part and the second connecting part of the top member are not fixed relative to each other, then the way the second connecting part of the top member moves under the drive of the electric drive assembly is no longer rotating around the first axis.

[0223] In this embodiment, the electric drive assembly 470 includes a rotating member 471 rotatably mounted on the base frame 410 and a motor 473 for driving the rotating member 471 to rotate. The rotating member 471 rotates to drive the second connecting portion 453 of the top member 450 to move, thereby driving the top member 450 to rotate until the top 455 is in the lifted position.

[0224] Specifically, the rotating member 471 abuts against the second connecting portion 453 of the top member 450. The surface of the rotating member 471 that abuts against the top member 450 has a protrusion 4711. Rotation of the rotating member 471 causes the top tip of the protrusion 4711 to abut against or disengage from the second connecting portion 453 of the top member 450. It can be understood that when the top tip of the protrusion 4711 abuts against the second connecting portion 453 of the top member 450, the second connecting portion 453 of the top member 450 reaches its highest lifted position, so that the top member 450 is held in the lifted position. Correspondingly, when the second connecting portion 453 of the top member 450 disengages from the top tip of the protrusion 4711, the top member 450 can switch from the lifted position to the lowered position under the action of external force.

[0225] In this embodiment, the portion of the surface of the rotating member 471 that abuts against the top member 450 without a protrusion 4711 is a recess 4713; the surface of the top member 450 near the rotating member 471 is provided with an abutting protrusion 454. The rotating member 471 rotates until the protrusion 4711 abuts against or disengages from the abutting protrusion 454. After the abutting protrusion 454 disengages from the protrusion 4711, the abutting protrusion 454 can be moved under force towards the recess 4713 until the top 455 is in the fallen position. Specifically, the abutting protrusion 454 can be moved under force to abut against the bottom end of the recess 4713. Therefore, the top of the protrusion 4711 and the bottom of the recess 4713 can alternately abut against the protrusion 454, so that the top 455 can be more accurately positioned in the raised or lowered position. Correspondingly, the water outlet 430 can be more accurately positioned in the first or second position, ensuring the accuracy of the movement of the water outlet 430, thereby better ensuring that the valve core is better kept in the open or closed state.

[0226] In this embodiment, the rotating member 471 is provided with two protrusions 4711 and two recesses 4713, which are arranged in a spaced-apart ring around the rotation axis of the rotating member 471. This allows the top of the rotating member 471 to continuously switch between a raised position and a lowered position during rotation.

[0227] In this embodiment, the perpendicular line from the center of the protrusion 4711 to the rotation axis of the rotating member 471 is perpendicular to the perpendicular line from the adjacent recess 4713 to the rotation axis of the rotating member 471. This allows the top to switch from a raised position to a lowered position, or vice versa, every 90° rotation of the rotating member.

[0228] In this embodiment, the transition between the protrusion 4711 and the recess 4713 is smooth, which allows the top to switch more stably between the raised and lowered positions, thereby allowing the valve core to switch more smoothly between opening and closing.

[0229] Of course, it is understandable that in another feasible embodiment, after the abutting protrusion 454 disengages from the top of the protrusion, the abutting protrusion 454 can be moved by force to the recess 4713 until the top 455 is in the falling position. The abutting protrusion can also be subjected to force to abut only against the two opposite side walls of the two adjacent protrusions, without abutting against the bottom of the recess.

[0230] In this embodiment, when the rotating member 471 rotates within the preset path, the top end of the protrusion 4711 can remain in contact with the top member 450, and the top 455 can remain in the raised position. Thus, when the rotating member 471 rotates to any position within the preset path, the top 455 can remain in the raised position, reducing the rotation accuracy requirement of the rotating member 471.

[0231] Specifically, the top end of the protrusion 4711 can be made into a plane, and the top 455 can remain in the raised position when the top member 450 abuts against the plane. Or, the surface of the second connecting portion 453 of the top member 450 that abuts against the top end of the protrusion 4711 can be made into a plane, and the top 455 can remain in the raised position when the top end of the protrusion 4711 abuts against the plane.

[0232] Of course, it is understood that in other feasible embodiments, the protrusion may also be provided on the surface of the second connecting portion of the top member that abuts against the rotating member. The rotation of the rotating member causes the top tip of the protrusion to abut or disengage from the rotating member, thus allowing the rotation of the rotating member to switch the top of the top member between a raised position and a lowered position. Furthermore, an abutting protrusion may also be provided on the adapter, and the rotation of the rotating member causes the abutting protrusion on the adapter to abut or disengage from the top tip of the protrusion on the second connecting portion of the top member, thereby allowing the rotation of the rotating member to switch the top of the top member between a raised position and a lowered position.

[0233] In this application, the rotating component 471 is directly connected to the output shaft of the motor 473, meaning that the motor 473 directly drives the rotating component 471 to rotate. Of course, it is understood that in other feasible embodiments, a transmission mechanism can be additionally provided between the motor 473 and the rotating component 471, meaning that the motor 473 drives the rotating component 471 to rotate through the transmission mechanism.

[0234] In this embodiment, the rotation axis of the rotating member 471 is parallel to the moving direction of the water outlet 430. It is understood that in other feasible embodiments, the rotation axis of the rotating member 471 may not be parallel to the moving direction of the water outlet 430, as long as it can drive the second connecting portion 453 of the top member 450 to move.

[0235] In this embodiment, the surface of the rotating member 471 that abuts against the second connecting portion 453 of the top member 450 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotating member 471. In another feasible embodiment, the surface of the rotating member 471 that abuts against the second connecting portion 453 of the top member 450 may also be parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating member 471, or another regular or irregular surface of the rotating axis, which can drive the second connecting portion 453 of the top member 450 to move so that the top 455 can switch between the raised position and the lowered position.

[0236] In this embodiment, the rotating member 471 is cylindrical. It is understood that in other feasible embodiments, the rotating member 471 is not limited to being cylindrical, but can also be any other regular or irregular shape, as long as it can rotate to drive the second connecting portion 453 of the top member 450 to move.

[0237] In this embodiment, the top 455 is provided with a through hole 4551, and the water outlet 430 passes through the through hole 4551. A limiting member 435 is provided on the outer side wall of the water outlet 430. When the top 455 switches from the lowered position to the raised position, the top 455 abuts against the limiting member 435 to drive the water outlet 430 to move from the second position to the first position. That is, the top 455 drives the water outlet 430 to move through the limiting member 435. The water outlet 430 passes through the through hole 4551, so that the water outlet 430 occupies less space outside the base frame 410, thereby reducing the volume of the water outlet base 400 and meeting the miniaturization requirements of the water outlet base 400.

[0238] In addition, the water outlet 430 is inserted into the through hole 4551, thereby setting a limiting member 435 on the outer wall of the water outlet 430 and making the top 455 abut against the limiting member 435, which facilitates the movement of the water outlet 430 and has a simple structure.

[0239] Understandably, the top member 450 rotates to drive the water outlet 430 to move. During the rotation of the top member 450, the angle between the depth direction of the through hole 4551 and the direction of movement of the water outlet 430 continuously changes. Specifically, in this embodiment, the depth direction of the through hole 4551 is the direction of extension of the inner wall of the through hole 4551, i.e. Figure 17 The PP direction is shown. When the top 455 of the top member 450 is in the lowered position, the depth direction of the through hole 15551 is the same as the moving direction of the outlet 430. When the top 455 of the top member 450 changes from the lowered position to the raised position, the top member 450 rotates, so the inner wall of the through hole 4551 also rotates accordingly, and thus the depth direction of the through hole 4551 also rotates accordingly, while the moving direction of the outlet 430 remains unchanged. Therefore, the angle between the depth direction of the through hole 4551 and the moving direction of the outlet 430 changes. Thus, during the rotation of the top member 450, the angle between the depth direction of the through hole 4551 and the moving direction of the outlet 430 is constantly changing. Furthermore, as the top member 450 rotates, the inner wall of the through hole 4551 also rotates accordingly, while the direction of the outer wall of the outlet 430 does not change. Therefore, as the top member 450 rotates, the angle between the inner wall of the through hole 4551 and the outer wall of the spout 430 changes. Thus, there needs to be space between the spout 430 and the inner wall of the through hole 4551 to allow for relative change in the inner wall of the through hole 4551 relative to the outer wall of the spout 430. In other words, there is a gap between the spout 430 and the inner wall of the through hole 4551 to allow the top member 450 to rotate.

[0240] In this embodiment, the through hole 4551 is an oblong hole. This allows for variation in the angle between the depth direction of the through hole 4551 and the moving direction of the nozzle 430; it also prevents the through hole 4551 from being too large, which could reduce the strength of the top member 450; furthermore, the regular shape of the through hole 4551 facilitates processing. Of course, in other feasible embodiments, the through hole is not limited to an oblong hole; it can be any other regular or irregular shape, as long as the angle between the depth direction of the through hole and the moving direction of the nozzle can be varied.

[0241] In this embodiment, two limiting members 435 are symmetrically provided on the spout 430, thereby preventing the spout 430 from tilting due to the presence of a limiting member 435 on only one side, and also preventing the spout 430 from being easily damaged due to stress concentration on one side. Of course, it is understood that in other feasible embodiments, the spout 430 is not limited to having two limiting members 435, but may also have one or more limiting members 435. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the limiting member 435 is plate-shaped, and the direction of the plate is along the radial direction of the spout 430. In other feasible embodiments, the shape of the limiting member 435 is not limited to plate-shaped, and may also be any other regular or irregular shape, such as annular, cylindrical, etc.

[0242] In this embodiment, the spout 430 is detachably mounted on the base 410, facilitating cleaning and replacement of the spout 430. Furthermore, when the spout base is connected to the cup assembly, the water valve can be opened, allowing liquid inside the cup assembly to flow from the cup assembly's outlet to the spout 430. It is understood that the spout 430 is mounted on the base 410 and connected to the cup assembly's outlet. That is, the spout 430 has the base 410 and the cup assembly at its two ends. Therefore, to achieve a detachable connection between the spout 430 and the base 410, the spout base 400 must also be detachably connected to the cup assembly, thus facilitating cleaning of the cup assembly. Furthermore, during the cleaning process of the cup body assembly, water splashes onto the spout 400, preventing it from affecting the operation of the electric drive components on the spout 400. It also prevents water from splashing onto the spout 400 itself, thus avoiding bacterial growth on the base 410 and other components in a damp environment. This ensures that the water flowing from the spout 400 is safer and more hygienic. The liquid inside the cup body assembly flows directly into the drinking container through the spout 430. The entire flow path of the beverage inside the cup body assembly is solely through the spout, and the detachable spout allows for the cleaning of all parts that come into contact with the beverage, ensuring safety and hygiene.

[0243] Specifically, in this embodiment, the base frame 410 is provided with a cup assembly mounting member 411, and the cup assembly mounting member 411 is provided with a mounting hole 413 that matches the spout 430. The spout 430 is detachably inserted into the mounting hole 413. More specifically, in this embodiment, the base frame 410 includes an accommodating space located below the cup assembly mounting member 411, and the top member 450 and the rotating member 471 are all disposed in the accommodating space to protect the top member 450 and the rotating member 471 from the corrosion of the external environment.

[0244] More specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting member 435 is provided with an anti-detachment part 436 to prevent the spout 430 from slipping off the base frame 410. After the spout 430 is inserted through the mounting hole 413, the anti-detachment part 436 is located between the cup body assembly mounting member 411 and the top member 450, and the anti-detachment part 436 is blocked by the cup body assembly mounting member 411 to prevent the spout 430 from coming out. It can be understood that when the spout 430 is inserted through the mounting hole 413, the portion of the spout 430 located around the anti-detachment part 436 undergoes slight deformation, or the inner wall of the mounting hole 413 of the cup body assembly mounting member 411 undergoes slight deformation, so that the spout 430 can be inserted through the mounting hole 413. When the spout 430 is pulled out of the mounting hole 413, the part of the spout 430 located around the anti-detachment part 436 undergoes slight deformation, or the inner wall of the mounting hole 413 of the cup body assembly mounting part 411 undergoes slight deformation, so that the spout 430 can be pulled out of the mounting hole 413, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the spout 430 and the base frame 410.

[0245] Specifically, in this embodiment, each of the two opposing outer surfaces of each limiting member 435 is provided with an anti-detachment part 436, and the anti-detachment part 436 is a protrusion. It is understood that in other feasible embodiments, the number and shape of the anti-detachment parts 436 on each limiting member 435 are not limited to this, that is, each limiting member 435 may have one or more anti-detachment parts 436, and the anti-detachment parts 436 may also be in a regular or irregular shape such as columnar.

[0246] In this embodiment, the second connecting portion 453 of the top member 450 is driven to rotate by the electric drive assembly 470, so that the top 455 switches from the lowered position to the raised position. The top member 450 switches from the raised position to the lowered position due to its own weight and the pressure applied to it by the water outlet 430. Of course, in another optional embodiment, during the rotation of the second connecting portion, the top member may switch from the raised position to the lowered position solely under its own weight.

[0247] Alternatively, in another feasible embodiment, the second connecting portion of the top member 450 can be rotated by an electric drive assembly to switch the top member between a lowered position and a raised position. For example, the second connecting portion of the top member can be driven by an electric drive assembly to reciprocate, thereby switching the top member between a lowered position and a raised position.

[0248] In this embodiment, a cup assembly identification mechanism 490 is provided on the base frame 410 to identify whether the cup assembly is installed in place. Specifically, the cup assembly identification mechanism 490 includes a movable trigger element and a trigger switch on the base frame 410. When the cup assembly is installed, the trigger element is driven to move. When the cup assembly is installed in place, the cup assembly drives the trigger element to move to the position that triggers the trigger switch. After the trigger switch is triggered, the electric drive assembly 470 can operate under the control of the control system, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the electric drive assembly 470 starts to run when the cup assembly is not installed or is not installed in place. It also avoids the phenomenon that the beverage in the cup assembly cannot flow out along the drainage channel 431 of the spout 430 after it is not installed in place, and also avoids the phenomenon that the beverage in the cup assembly flows to other positions of the spout base 400, causing the electric drive assembly 470 to be damaged by moisture.

[0249] It should be noted that, in other feasible embodiments, the structure of the cup assembly identification mechanism 490 is not limited to this, and can also be an infrared sensor or other structure that can detect whether the cup assembly is installed in place.

[0250] Optionally, in another feasible embodiment, the base frame is provided with a reset member, so that after the second connecting portion of the top member disengages from the protrusion, the reset member drives the top member to rotate, thereby switching the top to the lowered position. Specifically, the reset member can drive the top member to rotate after the second connecting portion of the top member is completely disengaged from the protrusion, or it can drive the top member to rotate after the second connecting portion of the top member disengages from the top end of the protrusion.

[0251] Optionally, the reset member is connected to the second connecting portion of the top member, so that the force exerted by the reset member on the second connecting portion of the top member can cause the top of the top member to switch and remain in the lowered position. Of course, in another feasible embodiment, the reset member can also be connected to any position between the first and second connecting portions of the top member, and the reset force applied by the reset member on the top member can cause the top member to rotate so that the top switches and remains in the lowered position.

[0252] Alternatively, in other feasible embodiments, the structure of the electric drive assembly is not limited to the structure described above. For example, in another feasible embodiment, the electric drive assembly includes a movable member mounted on a base frame and a motor for driving the movable member to move, the movement of the movable member driving the second connecting portion of the top member to move.

[0253] Specifically, optionally, a motor can be used to drive a moving member to perform a reciprocating motion, and the movement of the moving member drives the second connecting portion of the top member to move. In one feasible embodiment, for Figure 17 The top member 450 shown can switch between a raised and lowered position by driving a moving member to alternately abut and separate from the second connecting portion of the top member in a direction parallel to the length direction of the top member 450. In another feasible embodiment, protrusions and recesses can be provided on the moving member, and the moving member can be driven to move, so that the top end of the protrusion and the bottom end of the recess alternately abut against the second connecting portion of the top member, thereby driving the second connecting portion of the top member to move. Further, optionally, the protrusions and recesses are arranged in a direction parallel to the length direction of the top member 450.

[0254] In this embodiment, the spout 430 and the valve core 2125 are independently configured, and the spout 430 abuts against the valve core 2125. It is understood that in other feasible embodiments, the spout and the valve core can also be integrally formed, or the structure of the spout can be set so that the spout has the open and closed state of the valve core to control whether the liquid in the cup assembly 210 flows out.

[0255] In this embodiment, during the process of the water outlet 430 moving from the second position to the first position, the water outlet 430 drives the valve core 2125 to move in the same direction.

[0256] It should be noted that, in another feasible embodiment, when the spout moves from the second position to the first position, it can also drive the valve core to move in the opposite direction, that is, drive the valve core to move in a direction along the extension direction of the spout and away from the inner cavity of the cup assembly. Correspondingly, after the valve core is released from the driving force of the spout, it can automatically move in a direction along the extension direction of the spout and towards the inner cavity of the cup assembly. Specifically, a transmission mechanism such as a gear and rack drive can be used so that when the spout drives the valve core to move, the movement directions of the spout and the valve core are opposite.

[0257] For example, in one feasible embodiment, the valve core is integrally located on the outside of the cup assembly. When not driven by the spout, the valve core automatically seals against the side wall of the cup assembly's outlet or against the outer surface of the cup assembly's bottom wall, with the sealing position surrounding the outlet, thus sealing the cup assembly's outlet—that is, the valve core is closed. When the spout moves from the second position to the first position, it drives the valve core to move along the outlet's extension direction and away from the cup assembly's inner cavity, causing the valve core to disengage from the cup assembly, allowing fluid within the cup assembly to flow out through the outlet—that is, the valve core is opened.

[0258] See Figures 24 to 27In this embodiment, the beverage machine 200 also includes a water collection component 1 with heat preservation properties. It is understood that traditionally, water collection components are used to collect liquids spilled from cups or other containers and from the beverage machine's spout. However, in this embodiment, the water collection component 1 also has a heat preservation effect, thus it can heat and keep warm cups or other containers placed on it, preventing the temperature of the liquid inside from dropping rapidly. Therefore, the water collection component 1 simultaneously performs heat preservation and water collection functions.

[0259] In addition, since the water collection chamber 1011 and the mounting chamber 1013 are sealed and isolated, fluid can be prevented from flowing into the mounting chamber 1013 and causing the heating component 102 in the mounting chamber 1013 to become damp, thereby reducing the service life or heating effect of the heating component 102. Furthermore, the separation of water and electricity can avoid the risk of short circuit and electric shock.

[0260] Specifically, in this embodiment, the water collection assembly 1 includes a water collection box 101 and a heating assembly 102. The water collection box 101 has a water collection cavity 1011 and a mounting cavity 1013 that is sealed and isolated from the water collection cavity 1011. The heating assembly 102 is disposed within the mounting cavity 1013. The heating assembly 102 generates heat to transfer the heat generated by the heating assembly 102 to a water cup or other container placed on the water collection assembly 1, thereby preventing a rapid drop in the temperature of the fluid inside the water cup or other heat-conducting container.

[0261] Furthermore, in a feasible embodiment, the heating element has pins that are sealed to the mounting cavity. It is understood that the pins on the heating element are for direct or indirect connection to a power source, enabling the heating element to generate heat when energized. The sealed connection between the heating element's pins and the mounting cavity means that a sealing structure is provided around the pins to seal and isolate the heating element from other spaces within the mounting cavity. Therefore, even if fluid enters the mounting cavity, contact between the fluid and the pins can be effectively avoided, thereby effectively preventing the risk of short circuits in the internal wiring of the heating element.

[0262] Optionally, in a feasible embodiment, the heating element is provided with a sealing sleeve, which is fitted over the pins and seals and isolates the pins of the heating element from the mounting cavity. Specifically, the sealing sleeve can be a rubber sleeve or the like.

[0263] Optionally, in another feasible embodiment, the heating component includes a heating element, with pins electrically connected to the heating element. The heating element has a pin isolation ring for sealing and isolating the pins from the mounting cavity. The pin isolation ring surrounds the pins. One end or outer wall of the pin isolation ring is sealed to the mounting cavity, thus sealing and isolating the pins from the mounting cavity.

[0264] In this embodiment, the water collection assembly 1 further includes an insulated placement platform 103. The insulated placement platform 103 is disposed on the water collection box 101 and is in thermal contact with the heating assembly 102. This allows water cups or other containers to be placed on the insulated placement platform 103, preventing direct contact between the water cups or other containers and the heating assembly, thus preventing spilled liquid from falling directly onto the heating assembly and reducing the probability of the heating assembly 102 becoming damp, thereby increasing the service life of the heating assembly 102.

[0265] In this embodiment, the water collection box 101 has an inner cavity 1012. The inner cavity 1012 of the water collection box 101 is provided with a partition wall 1014. The partition wall 1014 divides the inner cavity 1012 of the water collection box 101 into a water collection cavity 1011 and an installation cavity 1013.

[0266] More specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting cavity 1013 is surrounded by the water collecting cavity 1011. It is understood that in other feasible embodiments, the mounting cavity 1013 and the water collecting cavity 1011 may also be arranged adjacent to each other, or the mounting cavity 1013 and the water collecting cavity 1011 may be arranged separately.

[0267] In this embodiment, the mounting cavity 1013 has a top wall and a bottom wall. The heating element 102 is disposed on the top wall of the mounting cavity 1013 and is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 1013. The placement of the heating element 102 on the top wall of the mounting cavity 1013 brings it closer to the heat-insulating platform 103, allowing for better and faster heat transfer from the heating element 102 to the heat-insulating platform 103. The space between the heating element 102 and the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 1013 prevents direct contact between the heating element 102 and the fluid, even if the water collection component 1 is damaged and water or other fluids enter the mounting cavity 1013, the space between the heating element 102 and the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 1013 avoids moisture absorption and the risk of short circuit and electric shock.

[0268] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the top wall of the mounting cavity 1013 completely covers the heating element 102, and the top wall of the mounting cavity 1013 is seamless. This prevents fluid flowing into the mounting cavity 1013 from falling onto the heating element 102, thereby preventing the heating element 102 from getting damp to a certain extent.

[0269] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the insulating placement platform 103, the isolation wall 1014, and the cavity wall of the inner cavity 1012 of the water collection box 101 form an installation cavity 1013; the surface of the insulating placement platform 103 that forms the installation cavity 1013 constitutes the top wall of the installation cavity 1013. In other words, the heating element 102 is directly disposed on the insulating placement platform 103, and the heating element 102 is in direct contact with the insulating placement platform 103, thereby enabling the heat emitted by the heating element 102 to be transferred to the insulating placement platform 103 more quickly.

[0270] In this embodiment, the isolation wall 1014 is in the shape of a ring column. A sealing element is provided between the insulation placement platform 103 and the isolation wall 1014 to achieve a sealed connection between the insulation placement platform 103 and the isolation wall 1014. Specifically, in the direction perpendicular to the extension of the sealing element, the cross-section of the sealing element has a slot 1041, and the end of the isolation wall 1014 near the insulation placement platform 103 matches the slot 1041 and is inserted into the slot 1041.

[0271] In this embodiment, the sealing element is a U-shaped sealing ring. The upper end of the U-shaped sealing ring is fixed to the surface of the insulation placement platform 103 that forms the mounting cavity 1013. The fixing method can be adhesive or other methods, which are not specifically limited in this embodiment. Optionally, the width of the slot 1041 of the sealing element can be slightly smaller than the width of the isolation wall 1014, so that the sealing element can fit more tightly with the isolation wall 1014, thereby improving the sealing performance of the connection between the insulation placement platform 103 and the isolation wall 1014, and thus preventing fluid from flowing into the mounting cavity 1013 through the connection between the isolation wall 1014 and the insulation placement platform 103.

[0272] See Figure 25 In this embodiment, the water collection box 101 is provided with a through groove 105 that connects to the outside and the mounting cavity 1013. The heat preservation placement platform 103 is located in the through groove 105, thereby achieving a sealed connection between the heat preservation placement platform 103 and the isolation wall 1014, and exposing the heat preservation placement platform 103 to allow for the placement of cups or other containers.

[0273] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the heat preservation placement platform 103 has a placement surface, which is lower than the surface of the water collection box 101 with the through groove 105. This allows the cup or other container to be placed on the heat preservation placement platform 103 and embedded in the through groove 105, thereby limiting the position of the cup or other container through the through groove 105.

[0274] In this embodiment, a plug 106 electrically connected to the heating element 102 is fixedly provided on the water collection box 101. The beverage machine 200 also includes a socket 107 that matches the plug 106. The plug 106 and the socket 107 are detachably connected. This facilitates the disassembly of the water collection component 1, thereby facilitating the discharge of the fluid collected in the water collection box 101. In addition, the connection between the plug 106 and the socket 107 can, to a certain extent, ensure the phase position relationship between the water collection component 1 and other structures of the beverage machine 200, preventing arbitrary movement of the water collection component 1, thereby ensuring the stability of cups or other utensils placed on the water collection box 101, and also preventing fluid leakage caused by displacement of cups or other utensils placed on the water collection box 101.

[0275] Specifically, in this embodiment, a connection channel 108 is provided on the side wall of the water collection box 101, and the plug 106 is fixedly disposed in the connection channel 108. This prevents fluid from leaking out and falling onto the plug 106, thereby avoiding short circuits and preventing arbitrary movement of the water collection assembly 1.

[0276] Optionally, in one feasible embodiment, the beverage machine also includes a power adapter compatible with the plug. Therefore, the water collection assembly can be moved to any location as needed, facilitating convenient access to cups or containers placed on the insulated shelf. On one hand, even if the cup or container is moved elsewhere, it can still be placed on the water collection assembly by simultaneously moving the assembly, thus collecting any spilled liquid caused by tilting. On the other hand, the power adapter ensures that even if the water collection assembly is moved elsewhere, it can still be electrically connected to a power source, enabling the heating element to operate and maintain the temperature, thus improving the user experience.

[0277] See Figure 28 and Figure 29 In this embodiment, the water purification tank 204 has a sealed purification chamber 2041. The water dispenser 201 has a water outlet channel 2011. The beverage machine 200 also includes a first air guide pipe 2042, which is sealed and connected at both ends to the purification chamber 2041 and the water outlet channel 2011, respectively. The first air guide pipe 2042 can guide the steam flowing through the water outlet channel 2011 of the water dispenser 201 into the purification chamber 2041, thereby increasing the air pressure in the water purification tank 204 to avoid negative pressure in the water purification tank 204, which would make it difficult to pump. The water outlet channel 2011 is connected to the atmosphere, and the first air guide pipe 2042 is connected to the water purification tank 204. When the pressure in the water purification tank 204 is greater than the atmospheric pressure, the first air guide pipe 2042 balances the air pressure in the water purification tank 204, thus achieving pressure balance in the water purification tank 204.

[0278] Furthermore, it is understandable that the fluid flowing through the outlet channel 2011 of the water outlet 201 has already undergone purification treatment, and the fluid does not come into contact with the outside world and will not be polluted during its flow from the purified water chamber 2041 to the outlet channel 2011 of the water outlet 201. Therefore, the steam generated with the fluid is also uncontaminated. Thus, the steam from the outlet channel 2011 of the water outlet 201 balances the air pressure in the purified water chamber 2041, preventing the purified water in the purified water chamber 2041 from being contaminated, thereby ensuring the purity of the purified water in the purified water chamber 2041.

[0279] Furthermore, the steam in the water outlet channel 2011 is guided to the water purification chamber 2041 through the first air guide pipe 2042, thereby reducing the steam mixed in with the purified water flowing out of the water outlet channel 2011 of the water dispenser 201. This makes the water flow shape of the purified water discharged through the water dispenser 201 stable, without any swinging or splashing, making it convenient for users to take.

[0280] Understandably, the first air guide pipe 2042 is used to guide steam. Therefore, in order to prevent the purified water in the purified water tank 204 from flowing directly into the water outlet channel 2011 of the water outlet 201 through the first air guide pipe 2042, the first air guide pipe 2042 is connected to the position near the top of the purified water tank 204 to better avoid contact between the first air guide pipe 2042 and the purified water in the purified water tank 204.

[0281] In this embodiment, the water outlet 201 has an exhaust port 2013 that communicates with the water outlet channel 2011, and one end of the first air guide pipe 2042 is sealed and sleeved on the exhaust port 2013. That is, the first air guide pipe 2042 and the water outlet channel 2011 of the water outlet 201 are sealed and connected through the exhaust port 2013 and the first air guide pipe 2042.

[0282] In this embodiment, the vent 2013 has a vent 2014 communicating with the water outlet channel 2011. The beverage machine 200 also includes a base plate assembly 205. The vent 2014 extends in a direction perpendicular to the base plate assembly 205 and is located at the top of the water dispenser 201. Thus, when the beverage machine 200 is in use, the base plate assembly 205 is located at the lower end of the beverage machine 200, and the vent 2014 is located at the upper end of the water dispenser 201. For convenient water dispensing, the outlet of the water dispenser 201 is located at the lower end of the water dispenser 201. The purified water flowing through the water dispenser 201 flows out of the outlet of the water dispenser 201 under the action of gravity, instead of flowing into the vent 2014, thereby preventing purified water in the water outlet channel 2011 of the water dispenser 201 from flowing into the purified water tank 204 through the vent 2013 and the first air guide pipe 2042.

[0283] See Figure 30In this embodiment, the insulated container 220 has a sealed insulated cavity. The beverage machine 200 also includes a second air guide pipe 2043, with both ends sealed and connected to the insulated cavity and the purified water cavity 2041, respectively. When purified water pumped from the purified water cavity 2041 is heated and transported to the insulated cavity, the air pressure in the insulated cavity increases, while the air pressure in the purified water cavity 2041 decreases. At this time, the second air guide pipe 2043 can balance the air pressure in the insulated cavity and the purified water cavity 2041. That is, by setting the second air guide pipe 2043, on the one hand, the phenomenon that purified water in the purified water cavity 2041 is difficult to pump out due to the decrease in air pressure can be avoided; on the other hand, the phenomenon that hot water is difficult to be transported to the insulated cavity due to the increase in air pressure can be avoided.

[0284] Similarly, it is understandable that, in order to prevent the purified water in the water purification chamber 2041 from being transported to the insulation chamber through the second air guide pipe 2043, and also to prevent the purified water in the insulation chamber from being transported to the water purification chamber 2041 through the second air guide pipe 2043, one end of the second air guide pipe 2043 is connected to the position near the top of the water purification tank 204, so as to better avoid contact between the second air guide pipe 2043 and the purified water in the water purification tank 204; the other end of the second air guide pipe 2043 is connected to the position near the top of the insulation chamber, so as to better avoid contact between the second air guide pipe 2043 and the purified water in the insulation chamber.

[0285] In this embodiment, a first air guide pipe 2042 and a second air guide pipe 2043 are simultaneously provided. Thus, when the purified water in the purified water tank 204 is pumped out and delivered to the water outlet 201, the steam flowing through the water outlet channel 2011 of the water outlet 201 can be diverted through the first air guide pipe 2042 into the purified water chamber 2041 to avoid negative pressure in the purified water tank 204, thereby achieving pressure balance in the purified water tank 204. When the purified water in the purified water tank 204 is pumped out, heated, and delivered to the insulation chamber, pressure balance can be achieved in the purified water chamber 2041 and the insulation chamber at least through the second air guide pipe 2043. If pressure balance cannot be achieved in the purified water chamber 2041 and the insulation chamber through the second air guide pipe 2043, the first air guide pipe 2042 is further used to achieve pressure balance in both the purified water chamber 2041 and the insulation chamber.

[0286] like Figure 31 and Figure 32 As shown, the second cup lid 214 includes a lid body 310 and a stop 330. The lid body 310 has a lid-fitting surface 311. The stop 330 is sealed and fitted to the lid-fitting surface 311 of the lid body 310 and extends along a portion of the edge of the lid-fitting surface 311. The stop 330 and the lid-fitting surface 311 form a flow-intercepting groove 320.

[0287] It is understandable that the closing surface 311 of the lid body 310 refers to the surface of the lid body 310 exposed to the cavity of the second cup body 212 after the second cup lid 214 and the second cup body 212 are closed, that is, the surface of the lid body 310 on the side close to the cavity of the second cup body 212.

[0288] When the second cup lid 214 is removed from the second cup body 212, the side of the second cup lid 214 opposite to the stop 330 can be raised first. This allows the liquid that has condensed on the lid surface 311 to flow towards the edge of the lid surface 311 as the lid body 310 is tilted. The liquid can then be blocked by the stop 330 and intercepted in the intercepting groove 320, thereby preventing the liquid from flowing outside the second cup body 212.

[0289] In addition, the baffle 330 extends along the edge of the lid surface 311, so that the area of ​​the lid surface 311 not covered by the baffle 330 is located inside the baffle 330. Thus, when the second cup lid 214 is removed from the second cup body 212, the liquid condensed on the lid surface 311 can be blocked by the baffle 330 and intercepted in the intercepting groove.

[0290] Furthermore, if the liquid contained in the second cup 212 is at a high temperature, preventing the liquid condensing on the lid surface 311 from flowing out of the second cup 212 can prevent the hot liquid from flowing out of the second cup 212 and scalding nearby people, animals, or plants. If the liquid contained in the second cup 212 is corrosive or toxic, preventing the liquid condensing on the lid surface 311 from flowing out of the second cup 212 can prevent the corrosive or toxic liquid from flowing out of the second cup 212 and polluting the environment, preventing corrosive liquid from flowing out of the second cup 212 and corroding surrounding objects, and preventing toxic liquid from flowing out of the second cup 212 and causing accidental contact and poisoning by people or animals.

[0291] It is understandable that the baffle 330 is sealed and fitted with the lid mating surface 311 of the lid body 310, thereby preventing liquid condensed on the lid mating surface 311 from flowing from between the baffle 330 and the lid body 310 to a position outside the second cup body 212. Furthermore, it is understandable that because the baffle 330 is sealed and fitted with the lid mating surface 311 of the lid body 310, the baffle 330 protrudes from the lid mating surface 311 of the lid body 310, thus allowing liquid condensed on the lid mating surface 311 to be blocked by the baffle 330.

[0292] In this embodiment, the baffle 330 has an inner baffle surface 331. In other words, the baffle surface 331 of the baffle 330 is the surface of the baffle 330 used to form the intercepting channel 320. Liquid condensed on the cover surface 311 flows to the baffle surface 331 of the baffle 330 and is blocked.

[0293] In this embodiment, the cover body 310 and the stop 330 are integrally formed. It is understood that in other feasible embodiments, the cover body 310 and the stop 330 can also be separately provided. During assembly, the stop 330 and the cover body 310's mating surface 311 can be sealed and fitted together.

[0294] In this embodiment, the cover body 310 and the stop 330 are made of the same material. Optionally, the cover body 310 can be a metal cover body such as a stainless steel cover body, or a plastic cover body such as a polypropylene cover body, a polycarbonate cover body, or a polyethylene plastic cover body. Correspondingly, the stop 330 is formed using the same material as the cover body 310, so that the cover body 310 and the stop 330 can be integrally molded. It is understood that using plastic materials for both the cover body 310 and the stop 330 results in low cost and easy molding.

[0295] It is understood that, in other feasible embodiments, the cover body and the stop can be made of different materials, as long as the stop and the cover body are sealed and fitted together.

[0296] Optionally, when the cover body 310 and the stop 330 are made of different materials, the cover body 310 and the stop 330 are bonded together, or a sealing gasket is provided between the cover body 310 and the stop 330, so as to ensure that the cover mating surface 311 of the cover body 310 and the stop 330 are sealed and fitted together.

[0297] In this embodiment, the baffle 330 and the cover surface 311 form a flow intercepting groove 320. The flow intercepting groove 320 is partially arranged around the edge of the cover surface 311, so that the liquid intercepted by the flow intercepting groove 320 can flow out from the end of the flow intercepting groove 320 by rotating the cover body 100. In specific operation, the end of the flow intercepting groove 320 can be controlled to be located at the opening of the second cup body 212 according to the position of the end of the flow intercepting groove 320, so that the liquid in the flow intercepting groove 320 can flow out.

[0298] In addition, in this embodiment, from the edge of the baffle 331 that engages with the cover surface 311 to the free edge of the baffle 331, the baffle 331 gradually tilts away from the cover surface 311. Therefore, after the second cup lid 214 is placed on the second cup body 212, the baffle 331 tilts towards the inner cavity of the second cup body 212, allowing the liquid in the intercepting groove 320 to flow more easily into the second cup body 212.

[0299] In this embodiment, the projection of the baffle 330 onto the cover surface 311 includes a first side 332 coinciding with a quarter edge of the cover surface 311 and a second side 334 located in the inner region of the cover surface 311. The second side 334 is at least partially bent toward the first side 332. It is understood that the baffle 330 has an outer surface 333 disposed opposite to the baffle surface 331. The second side 334 is at least partially bent toward the first side 332, resulting in a smaller area of ​​the outer surface 333, thus reducing the amount of liquid condensing on the baffle 331 and preventing excessive liquid condensation on the outer surface 333, which could cause liquid to flow outside the second cup body 212. Furthermore, the second side 334 being at least partially bent toward the first side 332 results in a smaller volume for the baffle 330, saving material.

[0300] In this embodiment, the second cup lid 214 has a first mounting structure 313 on its side for rotatably connecting with the second cup body 212. The stop 330 and the first mounting structure 313 are located on the same side of the lid-fitting surface 311. Therefore, when the second cup lid 214 is opened, the stop 330 naturally follows the first mounting structure 313 to a lower position, allowing the liquid condensed on the lid-fitting surface 311 to flow towards the stop 330 and be blocked by the stop 330 into the intercepting groove. Therefore, by rotatably connecting the second cup lid 214 with the second cup body 212, when the second cup lid 214 is opened, it is possible to prevent the liquid condensed on the lid-fitting surface 311 from flowing outside the second cup body 212 due to an incorrect tilt direction of the second cup lid 214.

[0301] In this embodiment, the stop 330 extends along one-quarter of the edge of the cover surface 311. It is understood that in other feasible embodiments, the stop may also extend along one-fifth, one-quarter, one-third, one-half, two-thirds, and three-quarters of the edge of the cover surface. The longer the stop extends along the edge of the cover surface, the longer the intercepting groove formed by the stop and the cover surface, thereby increasing the range of tilting directions of the cover and facilitating its operation. Preferably, the ratio of the extension length of the stop 330 to the extension length of the edge of the cover surface 311 is any ratio between one-fifth and one-half.

[0302] Furthermore, in feasible embodiments, the baffle can also be arranged around the capping surface. Thus, when the cap is opened from the second cup body 212, the cap can be tilted in any direction, ensuring that the liquid condensed on the capping surface is blocked by the baffle into the intercepting groove.

[0303] In this embodiment, the tilting direction of the second cup lid 214 when it is opened is ensured by the connection position between the second cup lid 214 and the second cup body 212. In another feasible embodiment, the tilting direction of the lid can also be ensured by other means.

[0304] like Figure 33 As shown, another embodiment of the beverage machine provided by the present invention further includes a beverage storage container 2 that can be placed on a water collection box 1. Specifically, the beverage storage container 2 includes a first cup body 21 and a first cup lid 23 that matches the first cup body 21. The first cup lid 23 has a water inlet hole 231 that communicates with the cup cavity of the first cup body 21. Beverage flowing out of the beverage processing mechanism can flow directly into the beverage storage container 2 through the water inlet hole 231. On the one hand, the first cup lid 23 can prevent dust and other environmental particles from falling into the beverage in the beverage storage container 2; on the other hand, there is no need to open or remove the first cup lid 23 when filling the beverage, making the operation simple, and there is no need to provide an operating space between the beverage processing mechanism and the beverage storage container 2 for opening or removing the first cup lid 23, thus meeting the miniaturization requirements of the beverage machine.

[0305] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features does not contradict each other, it should be considered within the scope of this specification. The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
