[0098] See also Figures 1 to 13 , a beverage device provided in one embodiment of the present application includes a water tank, a cup body assembly 110 and a water outlet seat 120. The water tank is used to store liquid, and the cup body assembly 110 is used to receive liquid from the water tank; the cup body assembly 110 includes a cup body 111 and a first coupler 112 arranged at the bottom of the cup body 111. The first coupler 112 includes a first docking wall 112a and a plurality of first conductive members 112b. The plurality of first conductive members 112b are arranged at intervals on the first docking wall 112a. A second coupler 121 is provided on the water outlet seat 120. The second coupler 121 is provided with a plurality of second conductive members 121a arranged one-to-one corresponding to the first conductive members 112b.

[0099] In the cup body assembly 110, since a plurality of first conductive members 112b are disposed on the first docking wall 112a, it is not necessary to provide multiple circles, thereby avoiding a larger bottom wall area. Fig.15a , Fig.15b and Fig.15c As shown, a plurality of first conductive members 112b may be disposed on one docking wall 112a.

[0100] Specifically, it can be understood that the plurality of first conductive members 112b include a neutral conductive member, a live conductive member, a ground conductive member, two signal conductive members, and a spare conductive member. The spare conductive member may not be electrically connected to any conductor such as the neutral, live, ground, or signal wires, and may be in an unused state. Exemplarily, if the neutral conductive member, the live conductive member, the ground conductive member, or the signal conductive member is damaged, the spare conductive member may be used to replace it.

[0101] The cup body 111 is provided with a heating component 117 for heating the liquid in the cup body 111. It can be understood that the first coupler 112 and the second coupler 121 are provided to energize the heating component 117 so that the heating component 117 generates heat.

[0102] The first butting wall 112a is annular.

[0103] The first coupler 112 is provided with a water outlet avoidance space 112c which runs through the first coupler 112, and the second coupler 121 is also provided with a water outlet avoidance space 112c which runs through the second coupler 121. When the cup body assembly 110 is installed on the water outlet seat 120 and the second coupler 121 is assembled with the first coupler 112, the water outlet avoidance space 112c on the first coupler 112 and the water outlet avoidance space 112c on the second coupler 121 are connected to form a water outlet space for the liquid flowing out of the first water outlet 111a to pass through.

[0104] The first docking wall 112a is arranged around the water outlet avoidance space 112c on the first coupler 112, that is, the first docking wall 112a is formed as a side wall of the water outlet avoidance space 112c on the first coupler 112. It should be noted that the water outlet seat 120 also includes a second water outlet pipe 128. When the cup body assembly 110 is installed on the water outlet seat 120, the second water outlet pipe 128 is inserted into the water outlet avoidance space 112c on the second coupler 121. The water in the cup body 111 can flow out through the second water outlet pipe 128. The water outlet avoidance space 112c is used for the liquid flowing out of the first water outlet 111a to pass through, so as to achieve the purpose of avoidance.

[0105] A water outlet avoidance space 112c is provided on the first coupler 112, so that the liquid flowing out of the first water outlet 111a can share the same space with the first coupler 112, and there is no need to occupy the space at the bottom of the cup body assembly 110 outside the first coupler 112 to avoid the liquid flowing out of the first water outlet 111a, which is beneficial to improving the utilization rate of the bottom space of the cup body assembly 110 and reducing the area of ​​the bottom of the cup body assembly 110.

[0106] More specifically, the first docking wall 112a is in a circular ring shape. It is understandable that, in other embodiments, the first docking wall 112a is not limited to being in a circular ring shape, but may also be in a regular or irregular shape such as a square ring shape.

[0107] A plurality of conductive accommodating grooves 112d are provided on the outer side of the first docking wall 112a and are arranged in sequence. The plurality of first conductive members 112b correspond to the plurality of conductive accommodating grooves 112d one by one. The first conductive members 112b are located in the corresponding conductive accommodating grooves 112d. On the one hand, the conductive accommodating grooves 112d can facilitate the positioning and installation of the first conductive members 112b; on the other hand, the conductive accommodating grooves 112d can separate the plurality of first conductive members 112b to avoid short circuit.

[0108] Specifically, the first conductive member 112b is in a fan-shaped cylindrical shape, which facilitates electrical contact with the second conductive member 121a. It is understood that in other embodiments, the first conductive member 112b is not limited to being in a fan-shaped cylindrical shape, but may also be in any other regular or irregular shape.

[0109] In the embodiment of the present application, the first conductive member 112b can be Figure 4 As shown, it is arranged in a fan-ring column shape around the outer side of the first docking wall 112a, and can also be ring-shaped.

[0110] Figures 16a to 19 A partial cross-sectional view of a beverage device provided in another embodiment is exemplarily shown.

[0111] like Fig.18a As shown, in some optional embodiments, the first docking wall 112a is annular, the plurality of first conductive members 112b are annular members with different inner diameters, and the axis of the plurality of first conductive members 112b coincides with the axis of the first docking wall 112a.

[0112] and Figures 1 to 15c Compared with the corresponding embodiment, Figures 16a to 19 In the illustrated embodiment, the number of the first docking walls 112a is at least one. If the number of the first docking walls 112a is multiple, multiple means two or more. The inner diameters of the multiple first docking walls 112a are different, and the axes of the multiple first docking walls 112a coincide. The water outlet avoidance space 112c on the first coupler 112a is defined and formed by the first docking wall 112a with the smallest inner diameter among the multiple first docking walls 112a. In other words, the first docking wall 112a with the smallest inner diameter is formed as the water outlet avoidance space 112c on the first coupler 112a.

[0113] For a circular ring, the axis of the first conductive member 112b is the center of the circle where the first conductive member 112b is located. For a rectangular ring, the axis of the first conductive member 112b is the intersection of two diagonal lines of the rectangle where the first conductive member 112b is located.

[0114] Taking a circular ring as an example: the first docking wall 112a is in a circular ring shape, and the plurality of first conductive members 112b are circular ring members with the same center and different diameters, and the center of the plurality of first conductive members 112b coincides with the center of the circle where the first docking wall 112a is located.

[0115] The first conductive member 112b can be installed in at least one of the following ways: a first conductive member 112b is installed on one side of a first docking wall 112a; a first conductive member 112b is installed on each of the opposite sides of a first docking wall 112a; the first coupler 112 also has a slot (not shown) that is coaxial with the first docking wall 112a and spaced apart, and the first conductive member 112b is clamped or plugged into the slot.

[0116] The first conductive members 112b on the first coupler 112 of a beverage device can be installed in different ways. Fig.18a As shown, the number of the first conductive members 112b is five, and the number of the first docking walls 112a is three, which are respectively recorded as the first docking wall 112a(A), the first docking wall 112a(B) and the first docking wall 112a(C) for distinction, wherein the first docking wall 112a(B) is located between the first docking wall 112a(A) and the first docking wall 112a(C), and among the three first docking walls 112a, the first docking wall 112a(A) has the smallest inner diameter, and the first docking wall 112a(C) has the largest inner diameter. A slot (not shown) is provided between the first docking wall 112a(A) and the first docking wall 112a(B). A first conductive member 112b can be installed on the inner side of the first docking wall 112a (A), and a first conductive member 112b is installed on each of the opposite sides of the first docking wall 112a (B). A first conductive member 112b is installed in the slot. The first conductive member 112b installed in the slot can conduct electricity on both sides because there is no shielding on both sides. A first conductive member 112b is installed on the inner side of the first docking wall 112a (C). In this way, the installation of five first conductive members 112b is realized. It can be understood that for Fig.18a The installation method of the annular first conductive member 112 b is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and other embodiments are also possible.

[0117] The first conductive member 112b is in a ring shape. It is understandable that in other embodiments, the first conductive member 112b is not limited to being in a circular ring shape, but may also be in a regular or irregular shape such as a square ring shape.

[0118] See also Figure 3 The bottom wall of the cup body 111 is provided with a first water outlet 111a. The ratio of the area of ​​the first water outlet 111a to the bottom area of ​​the cup body 111 is 0.1 to 0.5. Thus, the liquid in the cup body 111 can flow out smoothly.

[0119] The cup body assembly 110 further includes a first water outlet pipe 116 disposed at the first water outlet 111 a , and the first conductive member 112 b is spaced apart from the first water outlet pipe 116 to reduce the risk of the first conductive member 112 b being affected by moisture.

[0120] The water outlet avoidance space 112c on the first coupler 112 is used for the first water outlet pipe 116 connected to the first water outlet 111a to pass through. The water outlet avoidance space 112c on the second coupler 121 is used for the second water outlet pipe 128 connected to the water outlet pipe 116 to pass through. The water outlet avoidance space 112c on the second coupler can be coaxial with the water outlet avoidance space 112c on the first coupler 112.

[0121] The liquid flowing out of the first water outlet 111a enters the first water outlet pipe 116, and then enters the second water outlet pipe 128 from the first water outlet pipe 116. Generally, in order to avoid the first water outlet 111a and reduce the influence of the liquid on the first conductive member 112b, the first water outlet 111a is separated from the first coupler 112, but this will result in a larger bottom diameter of the cup body assembly 110. In the embodiment of the present application, the water outlet avoidance space 112c is used to accommodate the first water outlet pipe 116 and the second water outlet pipe 128, so that the first water outlet pipe 116 and the first coupler 112 occupy the same space, which is conducive to reducing the bottom area of ​​the cup body assembly 110. The inner walls of the water outlet avoidance space 112c on the first coupler 112 and the water outlet avoidance space 112c on the second coupler 121 will not come into contact with the liquid, the liquid is located in the first water outlet pipe 116 and the second water outlet pipe 128, and the first conductive member 112b will not be affected by the water outlet avoidance space 112c on the first coupler 112.

[0122] See also Figure 4 The first conductive member 112b is disposed around the outer side of the first docking wall 112a at intervals, so as to better space the first conductive member 112b and the first water outlet pipe 116, thereby reducing the risk of the first conductive member 112b being affected by moisture.

[0123] In some optional embodiments, in the projection along the axis direction of the cup body 111, the projection of the first water outlet 111a is located within the projection range of the water outlet avoidance space 112c on the first coupler 112. The inner diameter of the first water outlet 111a may be smaller than or equal to the inner diameter of the water outlet avoidance space 112c on the first coupler 112, and the inner diameter of at least a portion of the first water outlet pipe 116 is smaller than the inner diameter of the water outlet avoidance space 112c on the first coupler 112, so as to pass through the water outlet avoidance space 112c on the first coupler 112.

[0124] In some optional embodiments, the water outlet avoidance space 112c on the first coupler 112 is coaxially distributed with the first water outlet 111a.

[0125] In some optional embodiments, the water outlet avoidance space 112 c , the first water outlet 111 a , the first water outlet pipe 116 , and the second water outlet pipe 128 on the first coupler 112 are coaxially distributed.

[0126] The water outlet seat 120 is detachably connected to the cup body assembly 110, so that, on the one hand, it is convenient to disassemble the cup body assembly 110, thereby realizing the cleaning of the cup body 111 in the cup body assembly 110; on the other hand, after the cup body assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120 are disassembled, the power supply of the first coupler 112 is disconnected, thereby avoiding the risk of short circuit; on the other hand, it is also convenient to maintain the cup body assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120.

[0127] See also Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Fig.18a At least one first locking portion 114 is provided on the cup body assembly 110, and at least one second locking portion 123 is provided on the water outlet seat 120; the first locking portion 114 and the second locking portion 123 are locked and connected to achieve locking of the cup body assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120.

[0128] For example, if there are multiple first locking portions 114, the multiple first locking portions 114 are spaced apart along the circumference of the cup body assembly 110. The intervals between every two adjacent first locking portions 114 may be the same.

[0129] Specifically, the first locking portion 114 and the second locking portion 123 are both snap-fitting portions; the first locking portion 114 and the second locking portion 123 are snap-fittingly connected. Of course, it can be understood that in other embodiments, the first locking portion and the second locking portion are not limited to snap-fitting portions, but can also be other lockable structures.

[0130] like Figure 5 As shown, the first locking portion 114 includes a first circumferential limiting portion 114a and a first longitudinal limiting portion 114b. The second locking portion 123 includes a second circumferential limiting portion 123a matching the first circumferential limiting portion 114a and a second longitudinal limiting portion 123b matching the first longitudinal limiting portion 114b.

[0131] In some embodiments, the cup assembly 110 is provided with a first circumferential positioning portion 115, and the water outlet seat 120 is provided with a second circumferential positioning portion 124 that matches the first circumferential positioning portion 115. Therefore, when the cup assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120 are assembled, on the one hand, the cup assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120 can be aligned relatively quickly, thereby improving the assembly speed of the cup assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120; on the other hand, the first conductive member 112b can be accurately aligned with the corresponding second conductive member 121a, avoiding the phenomenon that the electrical connection cannot be achieved or the short circuit occurs due to the misalignment of the first conductive member 112b and the second conductive member 121a.

[0132] Specifically, the first annular positioning portion 115 is a positioning slot extending in the circumferential direction. The second annular positioning portion 124 is a positioning member matching the positioning slot. The second annular positioning portion 124 can slide in the circumferential direction in the first annular positioning portion 115. Of course, it can be understood that the structures of the first annular positioning portion 115 and the second annular positioning portion 124 are not limited thereto, and can also be any structure that can achieve positioning, such as a wedge-shaped structure, etc., which can achieve the positioning of the cup body assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120.

[0133] Fig.15b and Fig.15c A cross-sectional view of the beverage device is exemplarily shown, wherein D is the assembly point of the first locking portion 114 and the second locking portion 123, and E is the assembly point of the first longitudinal limiting portion 114b and the second longitudinal limiting portion 123b.

[0134] When the water outlet seat 120 is assembled with the cup body assembly 110, the first locking portion 114 of the cup body assembly 110 can be aligned and contacted with the second locking portion 123 on the water outlet seat 120. Fig.15b As shown, the cup assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120 are not assembled in place. Then, the water outlet seat 120 is rotated along the circumference of the water outlet seat 120, and / or the cup assembly 110 is rotated along the circumference of the cup assembly 110, so that the first circumferential limit portion 114a abuts against the second circumferential limit portion 123a to prevent the water outlet seat 120 and / or the cup assembly 110 from continuing to rotate, and the first longitudinal limit portion 114b abuts against the second longitudinal limit portion 123b to limit the longitudinal relative movement between the water outlet seat 120 and the cup assembly 110. At this time, as shown in FIG. Fig.15c As shown, the cup assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120 are assembled in place.

[0135] After the water outlet seat 120 and the cup body assembly 110 are assembled, the water outlet seat 120 and the cup body assembly 110 are coaxial or substantially coaxial, and the longitudinal direction can be understood as the axial direction. The cup body assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120 rotate in opposite directions.

[0136] After the first locking portion 114 of the cup assembly 110 is aligned and contacted with the second locking portion 123 on the water outlet seat 120, the first annular positioning portion 115 is also aligned and contacted with the second annular positioning portion 124. When the water outlet seat 120 and / or the cup assembly 110 rotates, the first annular positioning portion 115 also rotates relative to the second annular positioning portion 124. If the first annular positioning portion 115 is a positioning slot extending along the circumferential direction, and the second annular positioning portion 124 is a positioning member matching the positioning slot, the positioning member is at different positions in the positioning slot before and after the water outlet seat 120 and / or the cup assembly 110 rotates.

[0137] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the first annular positioning portion 115 can be provided on the first coupler 112, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the second circumferential positioning portion 124 can be disposed on the second coupler 121 .

[0138] When the cup body assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120 are assembled in place, it also means that the first coupler 112 and the second coupler 121 are assembled in place, and the first conductive member 112b and the corresponding second conductive member 121a are precisely aligned. When the cup body assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120 are not assembled in place, it also means that the first coupler 112 and the second coupler 121 are not assembled in place, and it is impossible to ensure that the first conductive member 112b and the corresponding second conductive member 121a are precisely aligned.

[0139] It is understandable that Figures 2 to 11a , Fig.11c ,as well as Figures 12 to 15c As for the beverage device shown in the figure, since a plurality of first conductive members 112b are installed at intervals on the same first docking wall 112b, in order to ensure that the first conductive member 112b is aligned with the corresponding second conductive member 121a when the first coupler 112 and the second coupler 121 are assembled in place, a first annular positioning portion 115 and a second annular positioning portion 124 need to be provided. Figures 16a to 19 For the beverage device shown in FIG. 1 , since the first conductive member 112 b is annular, when the first coupler 112 and / or the second coupler 121 is rotated, the first conductive member 112 b is relatively easy to align with the corresponding second conductive member 121 a. Fig.11b , Fig.11d ,as well as Figures 16a to 19 In the illustrated embodiment of the beverage device, the first annular positioning portion 115 and the second annular positioning portion 124 may not be provided.

[0140] The cooperation between the first annular positioning portion 115 and the second annular positioning portion 124 can realize the preliminary positioning of the first conductive member 112b and the corresponding second conductive member 121a, and the cooperation between the first locking portion 114 and the second locking portion 123 can further improve the positioning accuracy of the first conductive member 112b and the corresponding second conductive member 121a.

[0141] See also Figures 6 to 8 , the second conductive member 121a includes a coupling contact portion 121b for electrically contacting the first conductive member 112b. The second coupler 121 includes a docking body 121d. The docking body 121d has a docking groove 121e that matches the first docking wall 112a. The bottom wall of the docking groove 121e is provided with a first via hole 121f that corresponds to the second conductive member 121a one by one. The coupling contact portion 121b is inserted into the corresponding first via hole 121f, and there is a gap between the coupling contact portion 121b and the side wall of the first via hole 121f, so that the water flowing into the docking groove 121e and located near the second conductive member 121a can fall through the first via hole 121f, thereby avoiding water accumulation around the second conductive member 121a and thus avoiding a short circuit.

[0142] It is understandable that the groove wall of the docking groove 121e includes not only the bottom wall, but also the inner side wall 121g and the outer side wall of the docking groove 121e that are spaced apart. In addition to setting the first via hole 121f on the bottom wall of the docking groove 121e, it can also be set on other groove walls of the docking groove 121e.

[0143] The water outlet seat 120 further includes a base shell for carrying the second coupler 121, and the base shell has a drain port, which is lower than the first through hole 121f and communicates with the first through hole 121f, and the water flowing through the first through hole 121f can flow out through the drain port. Flowing out can refer to flowing out of the water outlet seat 120, for example: if the beverage device is placed on a desktop, flowing out can refer to flowing out of the water collection box outside the water outlet seat 120.

[0144] For example, Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.18c and Fig.18d As shown, the base shell includes a first shell 125 and a second shell 127 located on the bottom side of the first shell 125, and the drain outlet includes: a second through hole 125c located on the first shell 125, and a drain hole 127a located on the second shell 127; the second through hole 125c is lower than the first through hole 121f, and the drain hole 127a is lower than the second through hole 125c; the water flowing through the first through hole 121f can flow to the drain hole 127a through the second through hole 125c, and flow out through the drain hole 127a.

[0145] The first housing 125 is provided with a coupler mounting position 125a matching the docking body 121d. The coupler mounting position 125a is provided with a mounting position bottom wall 125b located at the bottom side of the docking body 121d. For example, the second through hole 125c is provided on the mounting position bottom wall 125b. The water flowing through the first through hole 121f can flow out through the second through hole 125c, thereby timely discharging the water flowing through the first through hole 121f.

[0146] Specifically, one second via hole 125c may correspond to one second conductive member 121a, or may correspond to a plurality of second conductive members 121a. Figure 7 The first housing 125 shown is provided with five second through holes 125c. Figure 7 The second via holes 125c located on the upper side are arranged corresponding to the two second conductive members 121a. The second via holes 125c located on the lower side are arranged corresponding to one second conductive member 121a. It is understood that in other embodiments, the arrangement of the second via holes 125c is not limited thereto, so that the second conductive members 121a are all arranged in the second via holes 125c.

[0147] See also Figure 6 and Fig.18d, a first sealing ring 126 is also provided on the coupler installation position 125a, and the first sealing ring 126 is sealed and fitted with the second coupler 121, for example: the first sealing ring 126 is sealed and fitted with the outer edge of the docking body 121d of the second coupler 121. Thus, the second coupler 121 is sealed and docked with the coupler installation position 125a, and water is prevented from falling into the edge of the second coupler 121. In addition, Figure 6 In the embodiment shown, the second conductive member 121a further includes a power contact portion 121c, and the power contact portion 121c is located at the bottom side of the docking body 121d and protrudes from the outer edge of the docking body 121d. The docking body 121d is sealed with the coupler mounting position 125a to prevent the power contact portion 121c from getting wet.

[0148] See also Figure 6 and Fig. 9 The water outlet seat 120 also includes a second shell 127, which is located at the bottom side of the first shell 125. A drainage hole 127a and a water guide avoidance hole 127b are provided on the bottom side of the second shell 127. The drainage hole 127a is connected to the water guide avoidance hole 127b. The water outlet seat 120 also includes a second water outlet pipe 128, which is inserted into the water guide avoidance hole 127b, and there is a gap between the second water outlet pipe 128 and the side wall of the water guide avoidance hole 127b. Thus, the water flowing out through the second through hole 125c can flow out through the drainage hole 127a and the gap between the second water outlet pipe 128 and the side wall of the water guide avoidance hole 127b in sequence. This prevents liquid from being retained in the water outlet seat 120, thereby preventing the components in the water outlet seat 120 from being damaged or damaged due to moisture, thereby improving the service life of the water outlet seat 120.

[0149] In addition, after the first locking portion 114 and the second locking portion 123 are locked, the connection strength between the cup body assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120 can be increased, thereby increasing the sealing tightness of the sealing part of the beverage device. For example: relative to the water outlet seat 120 without the cup body assembly 110 installed, after the first locking portion 114 and the second locking portion 123 are locked, the cup body assembly 110 can at least use its own gravity to increase the pressure on the water outlet seat 120 after locking, and under the action of this pressure, at least the sealing effect of the first sealing ring 126 can be increased.

[0150] See also Fig. 9 The drain hole 127a is disposed on the side wall of the water-guiding avoidance hole 127b. Of course, it can be understood that in other feasible embodiments, the drain hole is not limited to being disposed on the side wall of the avoidance hole, but can also be disposed at any other position, so that the drain hole is connected to the water-guiding avoidance hole, and the water flow in the drain hole can flow into the water-guiding avoidance hole.

[0151] See also Figure 5 , Fig.10 and Fig.18d The water outlet seat 120 includes a first shell 125, and the first shell 125 is provided with a coupler installation position 125a that matches the docking body 121d. Fig.10 and Fig.18b As shown, the first housing 125 is provided with a third through hole 125d, and the third through hole 125d is arranged away from the coupler installation position 125a. Thus, the water flow falling on the water outlet seat 120 and away from the coupler installation position 125a can flow down through the third through hole 125d. It can be understood that the water flow flowing down the third through hole 125d can also flow out through the drainage hole 127a and the gap between the side wall of the second water outlet pipe 128 and the water guide avoidance hole 127b in sequence.

[0152] Figure 5 and Fig.10 In the illustrated embodiment, the second locking portion 123 is disposed on the first housing 125. The second locking portion 123 covers the third through hole 125d. Thus, while the water can be discharged, the third through hole 125d can be prevented from being exposed, thereby preventing impurities in the environment from entering the water outlet seat 120 through the third through hole 125d.

[0153] Alternatively, if Fig.18b In the illustrated embodiment, the second locking portion 123 may also not cover the third via hole 125d.

[0154] In the present application, there are two third vias 125d and two second locking portions 123, and they correspond one to one. It is understood that, in other embodiments, the number of third vias 125d is not limited to two, but may be one or more than two. Similarly, in other embodiments, the third vias 125d and the second locking portions 123 are not limited to one to one correspondence. Specifically, the second locking portion 123 may correspond to one or more third vias 125d, or may not correspond to any third via 125d.

[0155] Of course, it is understandable that, in other embodiments, the third via hole 125 d may not be covered by the second locking portion 123 , or may not be completely covered by the second locking portion 123 .

[0156] In addition, it is understandable that Figure 5 and Fig.10 In the illustrated embodiment, the third via hole 125d is a square hole. It is understood that in other embodiments, the third via hole 125d may be in a regular or irregular shape such as a round hole.

[0157] See also Figure 1 , Fig.11a , Fig.11b and Fig.12The cup body assembly 110 further includes a heating assembly 117 for heating the liquid in the cup body 111 and a first water outlet pipe 116. The beverage device further includes a water receiving container 160 disposed at the bottom side of the cup body assembly 110. The water receiving container 160 is used to receive the liquid flowing out of the first water outlet pipe 116.

[0158] The setting of the heating component 117 can reheat the liquid flowing into the cup body 111, so that the temperature of the liquid flowing into the receiving container is higher, so as to meet people's greater demands for water flow.

[0159] Specifically, the heating component 117 includes two conductive contacts 117a provided at the bottom of the cup body 111, and a plurality of heating elements 117b in thermal contact with the bottom of the cup body 111. The plurality of heating elements 117b are electrically connected to the two conductive contacts 117a. The heating element 117b generates heat after being energized, so as to transfer the heat to the liquid in the cup body 111 through the bottom wall of the cup body 111, thereby heating the liquid in the cup body 111. It is understandable that the bottom wall of the cup body 111 can conduct heat. Therefore, the heat generated by the heating element 117b can be transferred to the liquid in the cup body 111 through the bottom wall of the cup body 111.

[0160] Specifically, the heating element 117b is a heating sheet, which is attached to the bottom wall of the cup body 111 to transfer heat to the bottom wall of the cup body 111. The heating sheet is attached to the bottom wall of the cup body 111, and there is a large contact area between the heating sheet and the bottom wall of the cup body 111 to better transfer heat to the liquid in the cup body 111. Of course, it can be understood that in other embodiments, the heating element is not limited to the heating sheet, but can also be any other component that can generate heat when powered.

[0161] See also Fig.12 The heating element 117b is roughly evenly arranged on the bottom wall of the cup body 111, so that the bottom wall of the cup body 111 can be heated more evenly, and the liquid in the cup body 111 can be heated more evenly.

[0162] More specifically, Fig.12 In the embodiment shown, the heating elements 117b are all in the shape of a fan ring and share a common center. It is understood that in other embodiments, the shape of the heating element 117b is not limited to the fan ring, but can also be any other regular or irregular shape.

[0163] The heating component 117 includes three heating subcircuits 117c. The heating subcircuits 117c have three or five heating elements 117b, and the heating elements 117b in the same heating subcircuits 117c are connected in series. Specifically, Fig.12In the figure, three heating sub-circuits 117 c are selected by dashed lines. It can be understood that the dashed lines are only for selecting the heating sub-circuits 117 c, which do not exist on the bottom wall of the heating component 117 or the cup body 111 .

[0164] It can be understood that, in other embodiments, the number of heating elements in the heating branch is not limited to three or five, but can also be one, two, four or more than five.

[0165] In addition, the heating element 117b is arranged away from the dry-burning element and the fuse on the first coupler 112. The dry-burning element and the fuse are in thermal contact with the cup bottom wall 111c of the cup body 111, so as to cut off the power supply of the first coupler 112 to the heating component 117 when the temperature of the cup bottom wall 111c is too high.

[0166] See also Fig.11a and Fig.11b The second water outlet pipe 128 is movably disposed on the water outlet seat 120. The second water outlet pipe 128 is movable to switch between the first position and the second position. When the second water outlet pipe 128 is in the first position, the liquid in the cup body 111 can flow out from the first water outlet 111a. The second water outlet pipe (128) is located outside the first water outlet pipe (116). Fig.11b See also Fig.11a , the second water outlet pipe 128 is located at the second position, at which time, the liquid in the cup body 111 cannot flow out from the first water outlet 111a. The beverage device also includes a sealing structure 130. The sealing structure 130 is used to achieve a sealed connection between the second water outlet pipe 128 and the first water outlet pipe 116 when the second water outlet pipe 128 is located at the first position, so as to isolate the inner cavity of the second water outlet pipe 128 from the external device. Thus, it is prevented that the water vapor in the water flow passing through the second water outlet pipe 128 evaporates to the external device, thereby preventing the external device from getting damp, and improving the service life of the external device.

[0167] Specifically, it can be understood that the external device includes the second conductive member 121a in the second coupler 121, all electrical components on the second coupler 121 such as the power pin electrically connected to the second coupler 121, and the heating element at the bottom of the cup body 111.

[0168] Specifically, the sealing structure 130 includes a second sealing ring 131. When the second water outlet pipe 128 is located at the first position, the second sealing ring 131 is annular; the second sealing ring 131 is sealed and connected to the side wall of the first water outlet pipe 116 and the side wall of the second water outlet pipe 128, see Fig.11bThe second sealing ring 131 is sleeved on the first water outlet pipe 116, that is, the inner side of the second sealing ring 131 is sealed and fitted with the outer side of the first water outlet pipe 116, so that the second sealing ring 131 is sealed and docked with the side wall of the first water outlet pipe 116. It is understandable that in other embodiments, the sealing and docking method of the second sealing ring with the side wall of the first water outlet pipe is not limited to this, and the sealing and docking with the side wall of the first water outlet pipe can be achieved.

[0169] The second water outlet pipe 128 has a butt end 128a close to the first water outlet pipe 116. When the second water outlet pipe 128 is located at the first position, the second sealing ring 131 is in sealing contact with the butt end 128a of the second water outlet pipe 128. It can be understood that the inner diameter of the second water outlet pipe 128 is greater than the outer diameter of the first water outlet pipe 116, so that the second water outlet pipe 128 can be partially sleeved on the first water outlet pipe 116, so that the water flow in the first water outlet pipe 116 can smoothly flow into the second water outlet pipe 128.

[0170] The second coupler 121 includes a docking body 121d. The docking body 121d has a docking groove 121e that matches the first docking wall 112a. Figure 6 and Fig.11c As shown, the inner side wall 121g of the docking groove 121e is in sealing contact with the second sealing ring 131. Thus, the inner cavity of the second water outlet pipe 128 is further isolated from external components to better protect the external components.

[0171] Of course, it is understandable that in other embodiments, the manner of achieving the sealed docking of the first water outlet pipe and the second water outlet pipe is not limited thereto. For example, the sealed docking of the first water outlet pipe and the second water outlet pipe can also be achieved by the manner of the sealed docking of the docking body and the second sealing ring and the sealed docking of the second water outlet pipe.

[0172] Regarding the activity mode of the second water outlet pipe, please refer to the driving mode of the water outlet nozzle 130 in the application document with application number CN202021450472.4, which will not be repeated here. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the method of driving the second water outlet pipe to move is not limited to the method described in CN202021450472.4, but can also be any other method that can drive the second water outlet pipe to move.

[0173] See also Figure 3 and Fig.13The cup body 111 includes a cup side wall 111b and a cup bottom wall 111c. It is understandable that the cup bottom wall 111c is sealed and connected to the cup side wall 111b. The cup bottom wall 111c is formed of a heat-conducting material to achieve the aforementioned required heat-conducting function. Optionally, the cup side wall 111b is at least partially formed of a heat-insulating material to achieve a heat-insulating function; or, the cup side wall 111b is formed of a transparent material to facilitate the user to see the inner cavity of the cup body 111, thereby achieving an aesthetic effect.

[0174] Optionally, the edge of the cup bottom wall 111c is provided with an annular groove 111e matching the bottom of the cup side wall 111b. The cup bottom wall 111c of the cup body 111 is fixedly connected to the cup side wall 111b by edible glue. It is understood that, in other embodiments, the fixing method of the cup bottom wall 111c of the cup body 111 and the cup side wall 111b is not limited to this, and can also be achieved by any other method.

[0175] See also Figure 3 , Figures 11a to 11c ,as well as Fig.13 , one end of the first water outlet pipe 116 has an edge 116a that matches the side wall of the first water outlet 111a. The edge 116a is annular and overlaps with the side wall of the first water outlet 111a in a sealed manner, that is, it can overlap the bottom wall of the cup body 111 to prevent the liquid in the cup body 111 from flowing out through the gap between the first water outlet pipe 116 and the first water outlet 111a. In addition, the first water outlet pipe 116 overlaps the side wall of the first water outlet 111a, which can also prevent the first water outlet pipe 116 from slipping off the first water outlet 111a.

[0176] Furthermore, a lap groove 111d matching the edge 116a is provided on the inner side of the side wall of the first water outlet 111a. The provision of the lap groove 111d can realize the positioning of the edge 116a, that is, the positioning of the first water outlet pipe 116, and can also prevent the first water outlet pipe 116 from moving in a direction substantially parallel to the cup bottom wall 111c. It can be understood that the lap groove 111d is also annular.

[0177] The cup assembly 110 further includes a third sealing ring 118. The third sealing ring 118 is located in the overlapping groove 111d and is sealed against the edge 116a, thereby achieving a sealed overlap between the edge 116a and the inner wall of the overlapping groove 111d, that is, achieving a sealed overlap between the edge 116a and the side wall of the first water outlet 111a.

[0178] Specifically, the cross-section of the third sealing ring 118 is L-shaped, which increases the contact area between the third sealing ring 118 and the inner surface of the overlapping groove 111d, and also increases the contact area between the third sealing ring 118 and the edge 116a, thereby improving the sealing performance between the edge 116a and the overlapping groove 111d.

[0179] Furthermore, an external thread is provided on the outer side of the first water outlet pipe 116. Fig.11c As shown, the cup body assembly 110 also includes a fixing member 119 for fixing the first water outlet pipe 116, and the fixing member 119 has an internal thread matching the external thread on the first water outlet pipe 116. The fixing member 119 is located on the bottom side of the cup body 111 and abuts against the cup bottom wall 111c of the cup body 111. That is, the setting of the fixing member 119 can prevent the first water outlet pipe 116 from moving in the direction pointing to the inner cavity of the cup body 111. Therefore, the fixing member 119 and the edge 116a work together to keep the first water outlet pipe 116 and the cup body 111 relatively fixed, so as to ensure the sealing performance between the edge 116a and the overlapping groove 111d, that is, to ensure the sealing performance between the first water outlet pipe 116 and the side wall of the first water outlet 111a.

[0180] like Fig.11c As shown, specifically, the cup body assembly 110 includes a protective shell 1110 disposed at the bottom of the cup body 111. Along the axial direction of the first water outlet 111a, the fixing member 119 abuts against the protective shell 1110, and the protective shell 1110 abuts against the cup bottom wall 111c of the cup body 111, so as to achieve the abutment between the fixing member 119 and the cup bottom wall 111c of the cup body 111.

[0181] The protective housing 1110 may be a part of the first coupler 112 . For example, the protective housing 1110 is a coupler bracket that carries the first conductive member 112 b in the first coupler 112 , and the docking body 121 d is a part of the coupler bracket.

[0182] It is understandable that the cup body assembly 110 may not be provided with the fixing member 119 for fixing the first water outlet pipe 116. Fig.11b and Fig.11d The first water outlet pipe 116 shown has no fixing member 19 outside.

[0183] See also Fig.11c The cup assembly 110 further includes a filter 1111 disposed in the inner cavity of the first water outlet pipe 116. Specifically, the filter 1111 is disposed at one end of the first water outlet pipe 116 close to the inner cavity of the cup body 111 to prevent the filtered substances from accumulating in the first water outlet pipe 116, thereby preventing the water from flowing out smoothly, and also preventing the filtered substances from accumulating in the first water outlet pipe 116, which may increase the number of cleaning times of the first water outlet pipe 116 and make it difficult to clean.

[0184] Optionally, the filter element 1111 is detachably disposed on the first water outlet pipe 116 , thereby facilitating the cleaning of the first water outlet pipe 116 and the filter element 1111 .

[0185] Specifically, the first water outlet pipe 116 includes a mounting section 116c close to the inner cavity of the cup body 111, and a main body section 116d located at the mounting section 116c and away from the inner cavity of the cup body 111; the inner diameter of the mounting section 116c is greater than the inner diameter of the main body section 116d; the filter element 1111 abuts against the side wall of the mounting section 116c. Thus, the filter element 1111 is prevented from moving toward the end away from the cup body 111, so that the filter element 1111 can be more stably fixed at the end of the first water outlet pipe 116 close to the inner cavity of the cup body 111.

[0186] Optionally, the side surface of the filter element 1111 may be in full contact with the side wall of the installation section 116c, or may be in partial contact with the side wall of the installation section 116c.

[0187] See also Fig.11c , the cup body assembly 110 also includes a valve assembly 1112 disposed in the inner cavity of the first water outlet pipe 116. Specifically, the valve assembly 1112 includes a valve core 1112a, a reset member 1112b and a valve seal 1112c. The valve core 1112a is disposed in the inner cavity of the first water outlet pipe 116 and is movable to switch between a sealing position and an open position. The valve core 1112a is movable to drive the valve seal 1112c to move. When the valve core 1112a is in the sealing position, it can overcome the reset force of the reset member 1112b under the action of an external force and move to the open position. When the valve core 1112a is in the open position, it can return to the sealing position under the action of the reset member 1112b. When the valve core 1112a is in the sealing position, the valve seal 1112c blocks the first water outlet pipe 116, preventing water from flowing out through the first water outlet pipe 116. When the valve core 1112 a is located at the open position, there is a gap between the valve seal 1112 c and the inner wall of the first water outlet pipe 116 , so that water can flow out through the first water outlet pipe 116 .

[0188] Specifically, a valve limiting ring 116b is provided on the inner side wall of the first water outlet pipe 116. The valve sealing member 1112c is located on the side of the valve limiting ring 116b close to the inner cavity of the cup body 111, and is fixedly arranged on the valve core 1112a. The valve core 1112a can move along the extending direction of the first water outlet pipe 116 to switch between the sealing position and the open position. The reset member 1112b is provided on the side of the valve limiting ring 116b away from the inner cavity of the cup body 111. Specifically, the reset member 1112b is an elastic reset member. Along the extending direction of the first water outlet pipe 116, the two ends of the reset member 1112b are respectively in contact with the valve limiting ring 116b and the valve core 1112a.

[0189] It can be understood that the valve stop ring 116b is sealed and connected to the inner wall of the first water outlet pipe 116. Optionally, Fig.11cIn the illustrated embodiment, the valve stop ring 116b is integrally formed with the first water outlet pipe 116. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the valve stop ring and the first water outlet pipe may be formed separately and sealed and fixedly connected by welding or the like.

[0190] More specifically, an annular anti-slip groove is provided on the side wall of the valve core 1112a, the valve seal 1112c covers one end of the valve core 1112a close to the inner cavity of the cup body 111, and an anti-slip portion matching the annular anti-slip groove is provided on the bottom side of the valve seal 1112c, so that the valve seal 1112c can be more stably fixed on the valve core 1112a.

[0191] Fig.11a and Fig.11c The figure shows the structural state of the beverage device when the second water outlet pipe 128 is in the second position. At this time, the valve assembly 1112 and the inner wall of the first water outlet pipe 116 are in a sealed state, the valve core 1112a is in a sealed position, and the liquid in the cup body 111 cannot flow out from the first water outlet 111a through the first water outlet pipe. Fig.11c As shown, there is a gap H between the side wall of the second water outlet pipe 128 and the second sealing ring 131 . Fig.11b and Fig.11d , exemplarily showing the structural state inside the beverage device when the second water outlet pipe 128 is in the first position. The inner rib of the second water outlet pipe 128 lifts the valve core 1112a, and the valve assembly 1112 no longer has a sealing effect on the first water outlet pipe 116. The valve core 1112a is in the open position, and the liquid in the cup body 111 can flow out from the first water outlet 111a through the first water outlet pipe 116. Moreover, the side wall of the second water outlet pipe 128 is sealed and docked with the second sealing ring 131, and the gap H between the side wall of the second water outlet pipe 128 and the second sealing ring 131 disappears, so as to isolate the inner cavity of the second water outlet pipe 128 from external devices. Among them, the inner rib of the second water outlet pipe 128 is located inside the side wall of the second water outlet pipe 128.

[0192] See also Fig.14 and Fig.18c A water stopper 127c is provided on the inner side of the second shell 127; a motor 129 is provided on the water outlet seat 120, and the motor 129 is located on the side of the water stopper 127c away from the drain hole 127a to isolate the motor 129 from the drain hole 127a to prevent water from flowing onto the motor 129, and also to prevent water from flowing through the motor 129 to the interior of the beverage device.

[0193] See also Fig.15a, a conductive spring 112e is provided on the first coupler 112. The conductive spring 112e is used to abut against the conductive contact 117a to make electrical contact with the conductive contact 117a, thereby supplying power to the heating component 117. Compared with the traditional method of achieving electrical contact through a wire, the present application uses the conductive spring 112e to make electrical contact with the conductive contact 117a. The conductive spring 112e is not easily aged by heat, and is not easily damaged by thermal contact with the heating element 117b, and has a long service life, thereby increasing the service life of the first coupler 112, and there is no need to set a heat insulation structure for the wire, saving design space.

[0194] In addition, the conductive spring 112e is elastic and abuts against the conductive contact 117a, which can better ensure the electrical connection between the conductive spring 112e and the conductive contact 117a. In addition, the conductive spring 112e has a larger contact area with the conductive contact 117a, which can also better electrically connect with the conductive contact 117a.

[0195] Optionally, the conductive spring 112e is a copper spring. It is understandable that the conductive spring 112e is not limited to a copper spring, but may also be formed of other conductive materials.

[0196] See also Fig.16a and Fig.16b In another embodiment of the beverage device provided by the present application, the side wall of the first water outlet 111a has an extension section 111f extending from the bottom wall of the cup body 111 to the bottom side; the first water outlet pipe 116 is partially inserted into the first water outlet 111a. On the one hand, the provision of the extension section 111f increases the depth of the first water outlet 111a, increases the contact area between the first water outlet 111a and the first water outlet pipe 116, and reduces the pressure on the side wall of the first water outlet 111a; on the other hand, the provision of the extension section 111f increases the length of the first water outlet pipe 116 extending into the first water outlet 111a, increases the contact area between the first water outlet pipe 116 and the first water outlet 111a, and reduces the pressure on the side wall of the first water outlet pipe 116; on the one hand, the provision of the extension section 111f increases the length of the first water outlet pipe 116 extending into the first water outlet 111a, which can effectively avoid the excessive tilt of the first water outlet pipe 116.

[0197] Furthermore, the cup body assembly further includes a fourth sealing ring 1113, and the fourth sealing ring 1113 has a sealing slot 1113a matching the extension section 111f; the inner side wall of the sealing slot 1113a is in annular sealing contact with the first water outlet pipe 116. On the one hand, the contact surface between the fourth sealing ring 1113 and the extension section 111f is generally U-shaped, which increases the contact area between the fourth sealing ring 1113 and the extension section 111f, thereby increasing the sealing performance between the fourth sealing ring 1113 and the extension section 111f.

[0198] like Fig.16bAs shown, the fourth sealing ring 1113 is located between the extension section 111f and the coupler bracket of the first coupler 112 (i.e., the protective shell 1110), and the fourth sealing ring 1113 is also sealed and abutted against the coupler bracket of the first coupler 112, thereby further limiting the flow of liquid from the water outlet 111a to the first coupler 112, reducing the contact between the electrical components in the first coupler 112 including the first conductive member 112b and the liquid.

[0199] See also Fig.16b and Fig.17 In the illustrated embodiment, the filter element 1111 is disposed in the inner cavity of the cup body 111 ; the filter element 1111 is fixedly disposed on the bottom wall of the cup body 111 and covers the first water outlet 111 a .

[0200] Specifically, a clamping member 1111a is provided on the filter element 1111. The clamping member 1111a is inserted into the first water outlet pipe 116 and abuts against the inner wall of the first water outlet pipe 116 to fix the filter element 1111 and the first water outlet pipe 116. Thus, the filter element 1111 and the first water outlet pipe 116 are kept fixed.

[0201] For more details, see Fig.17 The clamping member 1111a is provided with three abutting portions 1111b evenly distributed along the circumferential direction. The abutting portions 1111b abut against the inner side wall of the first water outlet pipe 116. It is understood that in other embodiments, the distribution of the abutting portions 1111b is not limited to this, and the number of the abutting portions 1111b is not limited to this. The abutting portions 1111b can abut against the inner side wall of the first water outlet pipe 116 to achieve the fixing of the filter element 1111 and the first water outlet pipe 116.

[0202] See also Fig.18a A water leakage hole 1114 is provided on the bottom wall of the cup body assembly 110, so that when the user accidentally places the cup body assembly 110 in a place with water, liquid is stored in the cavity where the water leakage hole 1114 is located. This cavity is isolated from the first coupler 112, and when the user takes the cup body assembly 110, the liquid stored in the cup body assembly 110 is discharged through the water leakage hole 1114, thereby preventing the components in the cup body assembly 110 from getting damp or soaked in water, thereby increasing the service life of the cup body assembly 110.

[0203] like Fig.19As shown, in some embodiments, the cup body assembly 110 also includes a third shell 1116, the third shell 1116 has a bottom wall of the cup body assembly 110, the third shell 1116 is used to support the first coupler 112, and a water tank 1116a is formed on the third shell 1116 along the circumference of the first coupler 112, the leakage hole 1114 is located on the bottom wall of the water tank 1116a, and the side wall of the water tank 1116 close to the first coupler 112 serves as a water retaining wall 1116b to limit the liquid in the water tank 1116a from flowing to the first coupler 112, thereby reducing the influence of the liquid on the electrical components on the first coupler 112.

[0204] like Fig.19 As shown, the electrical components on the first coupler 112 include a first conductive member 112 b and a power contact terminal 112 f connected to the first conductive member 112 b. The power contact terminal 112 f extends from the first coupler 112 into the water tank 1116.

[0205] like Fig.19 As shown, the third shell 1116 is connected to the cup side wall 111 b , and the cup bottom wall 111 c is located between the cup side wall 111 b and the third shell 1116 .

[0206] like Fig.18a As shown, illustratively, a plurality of supporting convex points 1115 are also provided on the bottom wall of the cup body assembly 110, and the distance between the plurality of supporting convex points 1115 and the water outlet seat 120 is less than the distance between the electrical components on the first coupler 112 and the water outlet seat 120. The supporting convex points 1115 protrude toward the water outlet seat 120. When the cup body assembly 110 is separated from the water outlet seat 120 and the cup body assembly 110 is placed on a support surface such as a desktop, the cup body assembly 110 contacts the support surface with the supporting convex points 1115, plays a supporting and anti-slip role, and can also reduce the contact area between the bottom wall of the cup body assembly 110 and the support surface, reducing the wear on the support surface. At the same time, the protruding supporting convex points 1115 are at a certain distance from the bottom wall of the cup body assembly 110, so that even if there are some water stains on the support surface, the supporting convex points 1115 can be used to isolate the water stains, playing a certain waterproof role.

[0207] The distance between the supporting protrusion 1115 and the water outlet seat 120 is smaller than the distance between the electrical components on the first coupler 112 and the water outlet seat, that is, the supporting protrusion 1115 is located at the lowest point of the cup body assembly 110, which can better reduce the impact of water stains on the supporting surface on the electrical components on the first coupler 112.

[0208] like Figure 1 and Fig. 20As shown, in some embodiments, the beverage device further includes: a cup cover assembly 140 , which can cover the cup body 111 , and the cup cover assembly 140 has a water inlet connected to the interior of the cup body 111 , and the water inlet is used to add liquid into the cup body 111 .

[0209] The cup cover assembly 140 has a closed state and an open state relative to the cup body 111 . When the cup cover assembly 140 is in the closed state, the cup cover assembly 140 covers the cup body 111 .

[0210] Figure 1 and Figure 1a The structural diagram of the beverage device is exemplarily shown when the cup cover assembly 140 is in a closed state. Figure 1b The structural diagram of the beverage device is exemplarily shown when the cup cover assembly 140 is in an open state.

[0211] For example, Fig. 20 As shown, the beverage equipment also includes a sensor 150b and an inlet and outlet water control valve. The sensor is installed at the entrance of the cup cover assembly 140 or the cup body 111, and the inlet and outlet water control valve and the sensor 150b are electrically connected to the controller; when the cup cover assembly 140 covers the cup body 111, that is, when the cup cover assembly 140 is in a closed state, the sensor 150b generates a sensing signal, and the controller can control the inlet and outlet water control valve according to the sensing signal and then control the liquid to enter the cup body 111 from the water inlet; when the cup cover assembly 140 and the cup body 111 are in an open state, the sensor 150b does not generate a sensing signal, and no liquid enters the cup body 111 from the water inlet.

[0212] like Fig. 20 As shown, the inlet and outlet water control valve may include a plurality of solenoid valves 156. Of course, in other feasible implementations, the inlet and outlet water control valve may also be a single solenoid valve.

[0213] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, water addition can be stopped by controlling the cup cover assembly 140 to be in an open state relative to the cup body 111; water can be added to the cup body 111 by controlling the cup cover assembly 140 to be in a closed state relative to the cup body 111, and water addition can also be stopped when the water volume reaches a predetermined water volume and / or a stop water addition instruction is received.

[0214] like Fig. 20 As shown, in some embodiments, the beverage device further includes: a raw water tank 159 and a body 150, and the body includes: a clean water tank 152, a filter assembly 153, and a pipeline 154. Figure 1As shown, the beverage device also includes a shell 151, and the clean water tank 152, the filter assembly 153 and the pipeline 154 are all located in the shell 151. The filter assembly 153 is connected to the raw water tank 159 and the clean water tank 152, the inlet of the pipeline 154 is connected to the clean water tank 152, and the outlet of the pipeline 154 is connected to the water inlet of the cup cover assembly 140, and the cup cover assembly 140 is connected to the shell 151.

[0215] The raw water tank 159 can be used to store tap water or spring water, etc. The filter assembly 153 is used to filter and purify the water in the raw water tank 159 to obtain clean water, which is stored in the clean water tank 152. The pipeline 154 is at least used to transport the water in the clean water tank 152 to the cup body 111.

[0216] In the example of floor scrubbing, the water storage tank is a clean water tank 152 .

[0217] Exemplarily, the filter assembly 153 includes: an activated carbon filter element, a reverse osmosis filter element, and the like.

[0218] The clean water in the clean water tank 152 enters the cup body 111 through the water inlet of the cup cover assembly 140 to brew the food in the cup body 111. Then the heating element 117b can continue to heat the liquid in the cup body 111. Then the liquid in the cup body 111 enters the first water outlet pipe 116 through the first water outlet 111a and flows to the second water outlet pipe 128. Finally, it flows from the second water outlet pipe 128 to the water receiving container 160 for the user to drink.

[0219] In some embodiments, the beverage device also includes: a heating structure 155, the heating structure 155 is located in the outer shell 151, the heating structure 155 is located between the clean water tank 152 and the water inlet of the cup cover assembly 140, and the heating structure 155 is used to heat the liquid in the pipeline 154 in the direction of the water inlet of the cup cover assembly 140.

[0220] The heating structure 155 can heat the liquid in the pipeline 154, so that the liquid entering the cup body 111 is a liquid with a higher temperature, which can meet the user's needs for drinking hot water or making tea.

[0221] like Fig. 20 As shown, the heating structure 155 may be a heating tube.

[0222] Taking tea making as an example, the beverage device of the embodiment of the present application is further explained. The cup cover assembly 140 is pivotally connected to the body 150, so that the cup cover assembly 140 can be rotated to switch between a closed state and an open state. The pipeline 154 at least includes a tea outlet connected to the water inlet of the cup cover assembly 140. Before making tea, tea leaves can be placed in the cup body 111, and the cup body assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120 can be assembled in place, so that the first conductive member 112b in the first coupler 112 is in contact with the second conductive member 121a in the second coupler 121 to power the heating component 117 at the bottom of the cup body assembly 110. After the cup cover assembly 140 is in the closed state and the cup body assembly 110 is assembled in place, the control panel 150a connected to the machine body 150 is used to perform key operations or touch operations to apply instructions, and the clean water in the clean water tank 152 is controlled to be heated, and then injected into the cup body 111 through the tea outlet 154b of the pipeline 154 from the cup cover assembly, and the tea leaves are first brewed for the purpose of making tea. When the water injection is completed, the water injection stops automatically. At this time, the thick film heating plate (i.e., the heating component 117) starts to heat at full power and starts to make tea. At this time, the water temperature can be detected by the temperature sensor 170 in the cup body 111. When the water in the cup body 111 starts to boil, the power is reduced to 100W for micro-boiling, and the heating is stopped after about 2 to 3 minutes. Fig.11c As shown, when brewing tea, the valve core 1112a located in the first water outlet pipe 1116 is in a sealed position, and the valve seal 1112c blocks the first water outlet pipe 116, thereby preventing water from flowing out through the first water outlet pipe 116. Fig.11b As shown, the motor 129 (specifically, a stepper motor) drives the tilting rod to tilt up, and the tilting rod pushes the second water outlet pipe 123 upward, and the second water outlet pipe 123 pushes the valve core 1112a upward, and the valve core 1112a moves to the open position, and the valve seal 1112c no longer blocks the first water outlet pipe 116, and the tea can enter the second water outlet pipe 123 through the first water outlet pipe 116 and flow into the cup (i.e., the water receiving container 160) below the second water outlet pipe 123. After the tea in the cup body 111 falls out, the stepper motor reverses and returns to its original position, and the valve core 1112a returns to the sealing position.

[0223] The water receiving container 160 may be a cup or other Figure 1a and Figure 1b The kettle shown has an opening at the top.

[0224] When the first coupler 112 and the second coupler 121 are installed in place, they can not only be electrically connected to the heating component 117 to power the heating component 117, but also be electrically connected to the temperature sensor 170 to power the temperature sensor 170. The first coupler 112 can be electrically connected to the heating component 117 and the temperature sensor 170 respectively through the first conductive member 112b.

[0225] The temperature sensor 170 may be located inside the cup body 111 to detect the temperature of the liquid in the cup body 111 . Fig.11a The temperature sensor 170 is exemplarily shown to be installed on the bottom wall 111c of the cup body 111. The temperature sensor 170 is not limited to being installed on the bottom wall 111c, but can also be installed on the side wall of the cup body 111 or other positions in the cup body 111, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0226] When the temperature sensor 170 detects that the temperature of the liquid in the cup body 111 has not reached the preset temperature, the heating component 117 can heat at the first power until the temperature sensor 170 detects that the liquid in the cup body 111 has reached the preset temperature, and the heating component 117 can heat at the second power for a certain time (for example, 2-3 minutes) and then stop heating; or, after the temperature sensor 170 detects that the liquid in the cup body 111 has reached the preset temperature, the heating component 117 can stop heating immediately. Without limitation, the preset temperature can be 100°C, the second power can be 100w, and the first power is greater than the second power.

[0227] The water outlet seat 120 is fixed on the machine body, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the cup assembly 110 can be directly grasped by the handle 111g and rotated to remove it. Figure 1 In the cup body assembly 110 of the drinking water equipment shown in the figure, the spring of the valve core 1112a (i.e., the reset member 1112b) pushes the valve core 1112a to seal, the first water outlet pipe 116 does not leak, and the cup body assembly 110 can be cleaned.

[0228] like Fig. 20 As shown, there may be a heat-insulating water collection box 150 c below the water outlet seat 120 , and the cup body 111 may be placed in the heat-insulating water collection box 150 c to keep the tea in the cup body 111 warm.

[0229] The clean water flowing out of the tea outlet 154b of the pipeline 154 is heated by the heating structure 155. Therefore, before brewing tea, the tea leaves in the cup body 111 can be brewed. The water in the cup body 111 can also be heated by the heating component 117 according to the type of tea leaves to be brewed.

[0230] In some embodiments, the water outlet seat 120 is fixed on the housing 151. The cup cover assembly 140 and the water outlet seat 120 are both installed on the housing, and the cup body assembly 110 may not be installed on the housing. The water outlet seat 120 can support the cup body assembly 110, and it is convenient to separate the cup body assembly 110 from the machine body when adding tea leaves, without carrying the cup cover assembly 140 and the water outlet seat 120, which is more convenient to use.
