[0098] Referring to Figures 1 to 13 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a beverage device, which comprises a water storage tank, a cup assembly 110, and a water outlet seat 120. The water storage tank is used for storing liquid, and the cup assembly 110 is used for receiving liquid from the water storage tank. The cup assembly 110 comprises a cup 111 and a first coupler 112 arranged at the bottom of the cup 111. The first coupler 112 comprises a first abutting wall 112a and a plurality of first conductive members 112b. The plurality of first conductive members 112b are arranged on the first abutting wall 112a in a spaced manner. The water outlet seat 120 is provided with a second coupler 121. The second coupler 121 is provided with a plurality of second conductive members 121a corresponding to the first conductive members 112b.
[0099] The cup assembly 110 described above, since the plurality of first conductive members 112b are arranged on the first abutting wall 112a, without being arranged in multiple circles, thereby avoiding the area of the bottom wall being relatively large. Figure 15a 、 Figure 15b and Figure 15c As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4, the plurality of first conductive members 112b can be arranged on one abutting wall 112a.
[0100] Specifically, it can be understood that the plurality of first conductive members 112b comprises a zero line conductive member, a fire line conductive member, a ground line conductive member, two signal line conductive members, and a standby conductive member. The standby conductive member can not be electrically connected with any of the zero line, the fire line, the ground line, or the signal line, and is in a non-use state. Exemplarily, if the zero line conductive member, the fire line conductive member, the ground line conductive member, or the signal conductive member is damaged, the standby conductive member can be used for replacement.
[0101] The cup 111 is provided with a heating assembly 117 for heating the liquid in the cup 111. It can be understood that the first coupler 112 and the second coupler 121 are arranged to supply power to the heating assembly 117, so that the heating assembly 117 generates heat.
[0102] The first abutting wall 112a is annular.
[0103] The first coupler 112 is provided with a water outlet avoiding space 112c penetrating through the first coupler 112, and the second coupler 121 is also provided with a water outlet avoiding space 112c penetrating through the second coupler 121. When the cup assembly 110 is installed on the water outlet seat 120 and the second coupler 121 is assembled to the first coupler 112, the water outlet avoiding space 112c on the first coupler 112 and the water outlet avoiding space 112c on the second coupler 121 are docked to form a water outlet space for the liquid flowing out of the first water outlet 111a.
[0104] The first docking wall 112a is arranged around the water outlet avoiding space 112c on the first coupler 112, that is, the first docking wall 112a is formed as a side wall of the water outlet avoiding 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 assembly 110 is installed on the water outlet seat 120, the second water outlet pipe 128 is inserted into the water outlet avoiding space 112c on the second coupler 121. The water in the cup 111 can flow out through the second water outlet pipe 128. The water outlet avoiding space 112c is used for the liquid flowing out of the first water outlet 111a to pass through, for the purpose of avoiding.
[0105] The water outlet avoiding space 112c provided on the first coupler 112 can make the liquid flowing out of the first water outlet 111a share the same space with the first coupler 112, without occupying the space at the bottom of the cup assembly 110 to avoid the liquid flowing out of the first water outlet 111a, which is beneficial to improve the utilization rate of the space at the bottom of the cup assembly 110 and reduce the area of the bottom of the cup assembly 110.
[0106] More specifically, the first docking wall 112a is in the shape of a circular ring. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first docking wall 112a is not limited to the shape of a circular ring, but can also be in the shape of a square ring or other regular or irregular shapes.
[0107] The outer side of the first docking wall 112a is provided with a plurality of conductive accommodating grooves 112d arranged in sequence and at intervals, and a plurality of first conductive pieces 112b correspond to the plurality of conductive accommodating grooves 112d one by one. The first conductive piece 112b is located in the corresponding conductive accommodating groove 112d. On the one hand, through the conductive accommodating groove 112d, the first conductive piece 112b can be conveniently limited and installed; on the other hand, through the conductive accommodating groove 112d, the plurality of first conductive pieces 112b are spaced apart, which can avoid short circuit phenomenon.
[0108] Specifically, the first conductive element 112b is in the shape of a fan-shaped ring to facilitate electrical contact with the second conductive element 121a. It is understood that in other embodiments, the first conductive element 112b is not limited to being in the shape of a fan-shaped ring, but can also be any other regular or irregular shape.
[0109] In this embodiment of the application, the first conductive element 112b can, in addition to being able to, Figure 4 As shown, it is arranged in a fan-shaped columnar configuration around the outer side of the first docking wall 112a, and can also be in a ring shape.
[0110] Figures 16a to 19 A partial cross-sectional view of a beverage device provided in another embodiment is shown as an example.
[0111] like Figure 18a As shown, in some optional embodiments, the first docking wall 112a is annular, and a plurality of first conductive elements 112b are annular elements with different inner diameters, and the axis of the plurality of first conductive elements 112b coincides with the axis of the first docking wall 112a.
[0112] and Figures 1 to 15c Compared to the corresponding embodiments, Figures 16a to 19 In the illustrated embodiment, there is at least one first mating wall 112a. If there are multiple first mating walls 112a, "multiple" refers to two or more. The multiple first mating walls 112a have different inner diameters, and their axes coincide. The water outlet clearance space 112c on the first coupler 112a is defined by the first mating wall 112a with the smallest inner diameter among the multiple first mating walls 112a. That is, the first mating wall 112a with the smallest inner diameter forms the water outlet clearance space 112c on the first coupler 112a.
[0113] For a circular ring, the axis of the first conductive element 112b is the center of the circle containing the first conductive element 112b. For a rectangular ring, the axis of the first conductive element 112b is the intersection of the two diagonals of the rectangle containing the first conductive element 112b.
[0114] Taking a ring as an example: the first docking wall 112a is in the shape of a ring, and several first conductive elements 112b are rings with the same center but different diameters, and the center of the several first conductive elements 112b coincides with the center of the circle in which the first docking wall 112a is located.
[0115] The first conductive element 112b can be installed in at least one of the following ways: a first conductive element 112b is installed on one side of a first mating wall 112a; a first conductive element 112b is installed on each of the opposite sides of a first mating wall 112a; the first coupler 112 also has slots (not shown) that are coaxial with the first mating wall 112a and spaced apart, and the first conductive element 112b is snapped or inserted into the slots.
[0116] The first conductive members 112b on the first coupler 112 of the beverage device can be installed in different ways as described above respectively. For example, as shown in Figure 18a , the number of the first conductive members 112b is five, and the number of the first abutting walls 112a is three, which are denoted as the first abutting wall 112a(A), the first abutting wall 112a(B) and the first abutting wall 112a(C) respectively for distinction, wherein the first abutting wall 112a(B) is located between the first abutting wall 112a(A) and the first abutting wall 112a(C), and among the three first abutting walls 112a, the inner diameter of the first abutting wall 112a(A) is the smallest, and the inner diameter of the first abutting wall 112a(C) is the largest. A slot (not shown) is arranged between the first abutting wall 112a(A) and the first abutting wall 112a(B). One first conductive member 112b can be installed on the inner side of the first abutting wall 112a(A), one first conductive member 112b is installed on each of the opposite sides of the first abutting wall 112a(B), and one 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 obstruction on both sides. One first conductive member 112b is installed on the inner side of the first abutting wall 112a(C). In this way, the installation of the five first conductive members 112b is achieved. It can be understood that for the installation mode of the annular first conductive member 112b as shown in Figure 18a , the above-mentioned embodiments are not limited, and other embodiments can also be provided.
[0117] The first conductive member 112b is annular. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the first conductive member 112b is not limited to be circular, but can also be square or other regular or irregular shapes.
[0118] Referring to 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 0.1-0.5. Thus, the liquid in the cup body 111 can flow out smoothly.
[0119] The cup body assembly 110 further comprises a first water outlet pipe 116 arranged at the first water outlet 111a, and the first conductive member 112b is arranged spaced apart from the first water outlet pipe 116 to reduce the risk of the first conductive member 112b being wet.
[0120] The water outlet avoiding space 112c on the first coupler 112 is used for the first water outlet pipe 116 communicating with the first water outlet 111a to pass through. The water outlet avoiding space 112c on the second coupler 121 is used for the second water outlet pipe 128 communicating with the water outlet pipe 116 to pass through. The water outlet avoiding space 112c on the second coupler can be coaxial with the water outlet avoiding 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 part 112b, the first water outlet 111a is spaced apart from the first coupler 112, but this will cause the diameter of the bottom of the cup assembly 110 to be large. In the embodiment of the present application, the water outlet avoiding 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 beneficial to reduce the area of the bottom of the cup assembly 110. The inner wall of the water outlet avoiding space 112c on the first coupler 112 and the water outlet avoiding space 112c on the second coupler 121 will not be in 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 part 112b will not be affected because the water outlet avoiding space 112c is provided on the first coupler 112.
[0122] Referring to Figure 4 The first conductive part 112b is spaced apart and surrounds the outer side of the first butt wall 112a, so as to better separate the first conductive part 112b from the first water outlet pipe 116, thereby reducing the risk of moisture on the first conductive part 112b.
[0123] In some optional embodiments, in the projection along the axis direction of the cup 111, the projection of the first water outlet 111a is located in the projection range of the water outlet avoiding space 112c on the first coupler 112. The inner diameter of the first water outlet 111a can be less than or equal to the inner diameter of the water outlet avoiding space 112c on the first coupler 112, and the inner diameter of at least a partial region of the first water outlet pipe 116 is less than the inner diameter of the water outlet avoiding space 112c on the first coupler 112, so as to be arranged through the water outlet avoiding space 112c on the first coupler 112.
[0124] In some optional embodiments, the water outlet avoiding space 112c on the first coupler 112 is coaxially distributed with the first water outlet 111a.
[0125] In some optional embodiments, the water outlet avoiding space 112c on the first coupler 112, the first water outlet 111a, the first water outlet pipe 116 and the second water outlet pipe 128 are coaxially distributed.
[0126] The water outlet seat 120 is detachably connected with the cup assembly 110, so that, on the one hand, the cup assembly 110 is convenient to disassemble, thereby realizing the cleaning of the cup 111 in the cup assembly 110; on the other hand, after the cup 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 assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120.
[0127] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 18a , the cup assembly 110 is provided with at least one first locking portion 114, and the water outlet seat 120 is provided with at least one second locking portion 123; the first locking portion 114 and the second locking portion 123 are locked and connected to realize the locking of the cup assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120.
[0128] Exemplarily, if the number of the first locking portions 114 is plural, the plural first locking portions 114 are distributed along the circumference of the cup assembly 110 at intervals. The interval between each two adjacent first locking portions 114 can be the same.
[0129] Specifically, the first locking portion 114 and the second locking portion 123 are both snap portions; the first locking portion 114 and the second locking portion 123 are buckled and connected. Of course, it can be understood that in another embodiment, the first locking portion and the second locking portion are not limited to the snap portions, but can also be other lockable structures.
[0130] As shown in Figure 5 , the first locking portion 114 comprises a first circumferential limiting portion 114a and a first longitudinal limiting portion 114b. The second locking portion 123 comprises a second circumferential limiting portion 123a matched with the first circumferential limiting portion 114a, and a second longitudinal limiting portion 123b matched with the first longitudinal limiting portion 114b.
[0131] In some embodiments, the cup assembly 110 is provided with a first annular positioning portion 115, and the water outlet seat 120 is provided with a second annular positioning portion 124 matched with the first annular positioning portion 115. Thus, 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 relatively quickly aligned, thereby improving the assembly speed of the cup assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120; on the other hand, the first conductive part 112b and the corresponding second conductive part 121a can be accurately aligned, avoiding the phenomenon that the first conductive part 112b and the second conductive part 121a cannot be electrically connected or short-circuited due to alignment errors.
[0132] Specifically, the first annular positioning portion 115 is a positioning slot extending along the circumference. The second annular positioning portion 124 is a positioning part matched with the positioning slot. The second annular positioning portion 124 can slide along the circumference in the first annular positioning portion 115. Of course, it can be understood that the structure of the first annular positioning portion 115 and the second annular positioning portion 124 is not limited to this, but can also be any structure that can realize positioning, such as a wedge structure, etc., as long as it can realize the positioning of the cup assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120.
[0133] Figure 15b andFigure 15c A cross-sectional view of the beverage device is shown exemplarily, wherein D is the assembly position of the first locking portion 114 and the second locking portion 123, and E is the assembly position 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 assembly 110, the first locking portion 114 of the cup assembly 110 can be aligned and contacted with the second locking portion 123 on the water outlet seat 120. At this time, as shown in Figure 15b , the cup assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120 are in an un-assembled state. 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 limiting portion 114a and the second circumferential limiting portion 123a abut to prevent the water outlet seat 120 and / or the cup assembly 110 from continuing to rotate, and the first longitudinal limiting portion 114b and the second longitudinal limiting portion 123b abut to limit the relative movement between the water outlet seat 120 and the cup assembly 110 in the longitudinal direction. At this time, as shown in Figure 15c , the cup assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120 are assembled in place.
[0135] After the water outlet seat 120 is assembled with the cup assembly 110, the water outlet seat 120 and the cup assembly 110 are coaxial or approximately coaxial, and the longitudinal direction can be understood as the axial direction. The rotation directions of the cup assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120 are opposite.
[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 are rotated, 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 in the circumferential direction, and the second annular positioning portion 124 is a positioning member matching the positioning slot, the positioning member is in different positions of the positioning slot before and after the water outlet seat 120 and / or the cup assembly 110 are rotated.
[0137] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 2 , the first annular positioning portion 115 can be arranged on the first coupler 112, and as shown in Figure 5 , the second annular positioning portion 124 can be arranged on the second coupler 121.
[0138] When the cup assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120 are assembled in place, it means that the first coupler 112 and the second coupler 121 are assembled in place, and the first conductive part 112b is precisely aligned with the corresponding second conductive part 121a. When the cup assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120 are not assembled in place, it means that the first coupler 112 and the second coupler 121 are not assembled in place, and the first conductive part 112b cannot be precisely aligned with the corresponding second conductive part 121a.
[0139] It can be understood that, for the beverage device shown in Figures 2 to 11 a 、 Figure 11 c , and Figures 12 to 15c , since the plurality of first conductive parts 112b are spaced apart and mounted on the same first abutting wall 112b, in order to ensure that the first conductive part 112b is aligned with the corresponding second conductive part 121a when the first coupler 112 and the second coupler 121 are assembled in place, the first annular positioning part 115 and the second annular positioning part 124 need to be provided. For the beverage device shown in Figures 16a to 19 , since the first conductive part 112b is annular, when the first coupler 112 and / or the second coupler 121 are rotated, the first conductive part 112b is more easily aligned with the corresponding second conductive part 121a, therefore, for the beverage device embodiments shown in Figure 11 b 、 Figure 11 d , and Figures 16a to 19 , the first annular positioning part 115 and the second annular positioning part 124 can not be provided.
[0140] The cooperation of the first annular positioning part 115 and the second annular positioning part 124 can achieve the preliminary positioning of the first conductive part 112b and the corresponding second conductive part 121a, and the cooperation of the first locking part 114 and the second locking part 123 can further improve the precision of the positioning of the first conductive part 112b and the corresponding second conductive part 121a.
[0141] Referring to Figures 6 to 8 , the second conductive part 121a includes a coupling contact part 121b for electrically contacting the first conductive part 112b. The second coupler 121 includes an abutting body 121d. The abutting body 121d has an abutting groove 121e matched with the first abutting wall 112a. The bottom wall of the abutting groove 121e is provided with a first via hole 121f corresponding to the second conductive part 121a. The coupling contact part 121b is inserted into the corresponding first via hole 121f, and there is a gap between the coupling contact part 121b and the side wall of the first via hole 121f, so that the water flowing into the abutting groove 121e and located near the second conductive part 121a can fall through the first via hole 121f, avoiding the accumulation of water around the second conductive part 121a, thereby avoiding the short circuit phenomenon.
[0142] It can be understood that the slot wall of the docking slot 121e includes not only the bottom wall but also the inner side wall 121g and the outer side wall spacedly distributed in the docking slot 121e. In addition to the first through hole 121f being arranged on the bottom wall of the docking slot 121e, the first through hole 121f can also be arranged on other slot walls of the docking slot 121e.
[0143] The water outlet seat 120 further includes a base shell for carrying the second coupler 121, and the base shell is provided with a drain port lower than the first through hole 121f and in communication with the first through hole 121f, and the water flow passing through the first through hole 121f can flow out through the drain port. The flowing out can refer to flowing out of the water outlet seat 120, for example, if the beverage equipment is placed on a table top, the flowing out can refer to flowing out of the water outlet seat 120 to a water collecting box.
[0144] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 6 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 18c and Figure 18d , the base shell includes a first shell 125 and a second shell 127 located at the bottom side of the first shell 125, and the drain port 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 flow passing 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 shell 125 is provided with a coupler mounting position 125a matched with 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, and exemplarily, the second through hole 125c is arranged on the mounting position bottom wall 125b. The water flow passing through the first through hole 121f can flow out through the second through hole 125c, so as to timely drain the water flow passing through the first through hole 121f.
[0146] Specifically, one second through hole 125c can correspond to one second conductive piece 121a or can be arranged in correspondence with multiple second conductive pieces 121a. Referring to the first shell 125 shown in Figure 7 , five second through holes 125c are arranged. Among them, Figure 7 the second through hole 125c located at the upper side is arranged in correspondence with two second conductive pieces 121a. The second through holes 125c located at the lower side are each arranged in correspondence with one second conductive piece 121a. It can be understood that in another embodiment, the arrangement of the second through hole 125c is not limited to this, as long as the second conductive piece 121a is arranged in the second through hole 125c.
[0147] Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 18dThe first sealing ring 126 is in sealing contact with the second coupler 121, for example, the first sealing ring 126 is in sealing contact with the outer edge of the docking body 121d of the second coupler 121. Thus, the second coupler 121 and the coupler mounting position 125a are in sealing docking, avoiding water flow falling through the edge of the second coupler 121. In addition, Figure 6 In the embodiment shown, the second conductive part 121a further includes a power contact part 121c, and the power contact part 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 in sealing docking with the coupler mounting position 125a to prevent the power contact part 121c from being damp.
[0148] Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 9 The water outlet seat 120 further includes a second housing 127 located at the bottom side of the first housing 125. The bottom side of the second housing 127 is provided with a drain hole 127a and a water guide avoiding hole 127b. The drain hole 127a is in communication with the water guide avoiding hole 127b. The water outlet seat 120 further includes a second water outlet pipe 128 inserted into the water guide avoiding hole 127b, and the second water outlet pipe 128 has a gap with the side wall of the water guide avoiding hole 127b. Thus, the water flow flowing out through the second through hole 125c can flow out through the drain hole 127a and the gap between the second water outlet pipe 128 and the side wall of the water guide avoiding hole 127b in sequence. In this way, the liquid can be prevented from remaining in the water outlet seat 120, thereby preventing the devices in the water outlet seat 120 from being damaged or damaged due to damp, and improving the service life of the water outlet seat 120.
[0149] In addition, after the first locking part 114 and the second locking part 123 are locked, the connection strength between the cup assembly 110 and the water outlet seat 120 is increased, thereby the sealing tightness of the sealing part in the beverage equipment can be increased. For example, compared with the water outlet seat 120 without the cup assembly 110, after the first locking part 114 and the second locking part 123 are locked, the cup assembly 110 can at least increase the pressure on the water outlet seat 120 by using its own gravity after locking, and under the action of this pressure, the sealing effect of the first sealing ring 126 can be increased at least.
[0150] Referring to Figure 9 The drain hole 127a is provided on the side wall of the water guide avoiding hole 127b. Of course, it can be understood that in another feasible embodiment, the drain hole is not limited to being provided on the side wall of the avoiding hole, but can also be provided at any other position, as long as the drain hole is in communication with the water guide avoiding hole and the water flow in the drain hole can flow into the water guide avoiding hole.
[0151] Referring to Figure 5 , Figure 10 andFigure 18d The water outlet base 120 comprises a first housing 125, and a coupler mounting position 125a is arranged on the first housing 125 and matched with the docking body 121d. As shown in Figure 10 and Figure 18b , a third through hole 125d is arranged on the first housing 125 and deviates from the coupler mounting position 125a. Thus, the water flow falling on the water outlet base 120 and deviating from the coupler mounting position 125a can flow down through the third through hole 125d. It can be understood that the water flow flowing down through the third through hole 125d can also flow out through the drain hole 127a and the gap between the second water outlet pipe 128 and the sidewall of the water guide avoiding hole 127b in sequence.
[0152] Figure 5 and Figure 10 , the second locking part 123 is arranged on the first housing 125. The second locking part 123 covers the third through hole 125d. Thus, in the case that the water flow can be drained, the exposure of the third through hole 125d can be avoided, and further, the impurities in the environment can be prevented from entering the water outlet base 120 through the third through hole 125d.
[0153] Optionally, as shown in Figure 18b , the second locking part 123 can also not cover the third through hole 125d.
[0154] In the present application, the third through hole 125d and the second locking part 123 are both two and one-to-one corresponding. It can be understood that in another embodiment, the number of the third through hole 125d is not limited to two, but also can be one or more than two. Similarly, in another embodiment, the third through hole 125d and the second locking part 123 are not limited to one-to-one corresponding. Specifically, the second locking part 123 can correspond to one or more third through holes 125d, or can not correspond to any third through hole 125d.
[0155] Of course, it can be understood that in another embodiment, the third through hole 125d can not be covered by the second locking part 123, or not completely covered by the second locking part 123.
[0156] In addition, it can be understood that Figure 5 and Figure 10 , the third through hole 125d is a square hole. It can be understood that in another embodiment, the third through hole 125d can be a regular or irregular shape such as a circular hole.
[0157] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 11 a , Figure 11 b and Figure 12The cup assembly 110 further comprises a heating assembly 117 for heating the liquid in the cup 111, and a first water outlet pipe 116. The beverage device further comprises a water receiving container 160 arranged at the bottom side of the cup assembly 110. The water receiving container 160 is arranged to receive the liquid flowing out of the first water outlet pipe 116.
[0158] The heating assembly 117 is arranged to reheat the liquid flowing into the cup 111, so that the liquid flowing into the receiving container has a higher temperature, to meet the more demands of the user on the water flow.
[0159] Specifically, the heating assembly 117 comprises two conductive contacts 117a arranged at the bottom of the cup 111, and a plurality of heating elements 117b in thermal contact with the bottom of the cup 111. The plurality of heating elements 117b are electrically connected to the two conductive contacts 117a. The heating elements 117b generate heat after being powered on, to transfer heat to the liquid in the cup 111 through the bottom wall of the cup 111, to heat the liquid in the cup 111. It can be understood that the bottom wall of the cup 111 can conduct heat. Therefore, the heat generated by the heating elements 117b can be transferred to the liquid in the cup 111 through the bottom wall of the cup 111.
[0160] Specifically, the heating elements 117b are heating fins, which are attached to the bottom wall of the cup 111 to transfer heat to the bottom wall of the cup 111. The heating fins are attached to the bottom wall of the cup 111, and have a large contact area with the bottom wall of the cup 111, to better transfer heat to the liquid in the cup 111. Of course, it can be understood that in other embodiments, the heating elements are not limited to heating fins, but can also be any other component that can generate heat after being powered on.
[0161] Referring to Figure 12 The heating elements 117b are arranged substantially uniformly on the bottom wall of the cup 111, so that the bottom wall of the cup 111 can be heated more uniformly, and the liquid in the cup 111 can be heated more uniformly.
[0162] More specifically, Figure 12 In the illustrated embodiment, the heating elements 117b are all fan ring-shaped and share a common center. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the shape of the heating elements 117b is not limited to fan ring-shaped, but can also be any other regular or irregular shape.
[0163] The heating assembly 117 comprises three heating branch circuits 117c. In the heating branch circuits 117c, there are three or five heating elements 117b, and the heating elements 117b in the same heating branch circuit 117c are connected in series. Specifically, Figure 12In the middle, three heating branch circuits 117c are selected by the dashed line box. It can be understood that the dashed line is only for framing the heating branch circuit 117c, and there is no existence on the bottom wall of the heating assembly 117 or the cup body 111.
[0164] It can be understood that in another embodiment, 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 element on the first coupler 112. The dry burning element and the fuse element 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 assembly 117 when the temperature of the cup bottom wall 111c is too high.
[0166] Referring to Figure 11 a and Figure 11 b , the second water outlet pipe 128 is movably arranged in the water outlet seat 120. The second water outlet pipe 128 is movable to switch between a first position and a second position. When the second water outlet pipe 128 is in the first position, the liquid in the cup body 111 can flow out of the first water outlet 111a, and the second water outlet pipe 128 is located outside the first water outlet pipe 116, as shown in Figure 11 b Referring to Figure 11 a , the second water outlet pipe 128 is in the second position, and at this time, the liquid in the cup body 111 cannot flow out of the first water outlet 111a. The beverage device further comprises a sealing structure 130. The sealing structure 130 is used to realize the sealed docking of the second water outlet pipe 128 and the first water outlet pipe 116 when the second water outlet pipe 128 is in the first position, so as to isolate the inner cavity of the second water outlet pipe 128 from the external device. Thus, the water vapor in the water flow passing through the second water outlet pipe 128 is prevented from evaporating to the external device, thereby preventing the external device from being damp and improving the service life of the external device.
[0167] Specifically, it can be understood that the external device includes the second conductive element 121a in the second coupler 121, all electrical elements located on the second coupler 121 such as the power pin electrically connected to the second coupler 121, and the heating element located at the bottom of the cup body 111.
[0168] Specifically, the sealing structure 130 comprises a second sealing ring 131. When the second water outlet pipe 128 is in the first position, the second sealing ring 131 is annular; the second sealing ring 131 is in sealed docking with the side wall of the first water outlet pipe 116 and the side wall of the second water outlet pipe 128, as shown in Figure 11 bThe 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 sealingly attached to the outer side of the first water outlet pipe 116, so as to realize the sealing butt joint of the second sealing ring 131 and the side wall of the first water outlet pipe 116. It can be understood that in another embodiment, the way of sealing butt joint of the second sealing ring and the side wall of the first water outlet pipe is not limited to this, and the sealing butt joint with the side wall of the first water outlet pipe can be realized.
[0169] The second water outlet pipe 128 has a butt joint end 128a close to the first water outlet pipe 116. When the second water outlet pipe 128 is in the first position, the second sealing ring 131 is sealingly abutted with the butt joint 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 butt joint body 121d. The butt joint body 121d has a butt joint groove 121e matched with the first butt joint wall 112a. As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 11 c , the inner side wall 121g of the butt joint groove 121e is sealingly abutted with the second sealing ring 131. Thus, the inner cavity of the second water outlet pipe 128 and the external device are further isolated, so as to better protect the external device.
[0171] Of course, it can be understood that in another embodiment, the way of realizing the sealing butt joint of the first water outlet pipe and the second water outlet pipe is also not limited to this. For example, the sealing butt joint of the butt joint body and the second sealing ring can also be realized, and the sealing butt joint of the second sealing ring and the second water outlet pipe can also be realized.
[0172] Regarding the activity mode of the second water outlet pipe, see the driving mode of the water outlet nozzle 130 in the application file with application number CN202021450472.4, which will not be repeated here. It can be understood that in another embodiment, the way of driving the second water outlet pipe to be active is not limited to the way described in CN202021450472.4, but can also be any other way that can drive the second water outlet pipe to be active.
[0173] See Figure 3 and Figure 13The cup body 111 comprises a cup sidewall 111b and a cup bottom wall 111c. It can be understood that the cup bottom wall 111c is sealingly connected with the cup sidewall 111b. The cup bottom wall 111c is formed of a heat-conducting material to achieve the aforementioned heat-conducting function. Alternatively, the cup sidewall 111b is at least partially formed of a heat-insulating material to achieve a heat-insulating function; or the cup sidewall 111b is formed of a transparent material to facilitate the user to see the inside of the cup body 111 and achieve an aesthetic effect.
[0174] Alternatively, the cup bottom wall 111c is provided with an annular groove 111e matching the bottom of the cup sidewall 111b. The cup bottom wall 111c of the cup body 111 is fixedly connected with the cup sidewall 111b by edible glue. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the fixing manner of the cup bottom wall 111c of the cup body 111 with the cup sidewall 111b is not limited to this, but can also be achieved by any other way.
[0175] Referring to Figure 3 , Figures 11 a to 11 c , and Figure 13 , one end of the first water outlet pipe 116 is provided with a rim 116a matching the sidewall of the first water outlet 111a. The rim 116a is annular and sealingly engages with the sidewall of the first water outlet 111a, i.e. can engage on 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 engages on the sidewall 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] Further, the inner side of the sidewall of the first water outlet 111a is provided with an engagement groove 111d matching the rim 116a. The engagement groove 111d can realize the positioning of the rim 116a, i.e. the positioning of the first water outlet pipe 116, and can 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 engagement groove 111d is also annular.
[0177] The cup body assembly 110 further comprises a third sealing ring 118. The third sealing ring 118 is located in the engagement groove 111d and sealingly engages with the rim 116a, so as to realize the sealing engagement of the rim 116a with the inner wall of the engagement groove 111d, i.e. the sealing engagement of the rim 116a with the sidewall of the first water outlet 111a.
[0178] Specifically, the third sealing ring 118 has an L-shaped cross section, which increases the contact area of the third sealing ring 118 with the inner surface of the engagement groove 111d and the contact area of the third sealing ring 118 with the rim 116a, thereby improving the sealing performance between the rim 116a and the engagement groove 111d.
[0179] Further, the first water outlet pipe 116 is provided with external threads on the outer side thereof. Figure 11 c As shown, the cup assembly 110 further comprises a fixing member 119 for fixing the first water outlet pipe 116, the fixing member 119 being provided with internal threads matching the external threads on the first water outlet pipe 116. The fixing member 119 is located at the bottom side of the cup 111 and abuts against the cup bottom wall 111c of the cup 111. That is, the fixing member 119 is arranged to prevent the first water outlet pipe 116 from moving towards the inner cavity of the cup 111. Therefore, the fixing member 119 cooperates with the rim 116a to keep the first water outlet pipe 116 relatively fixed with the cup 111, so as to ensure the sealing performance between the rim 116a and the lap joint groove 111d, i.e. the sealing performance between the first water outlet pipe 116 and the side wall of the first water outlet 111a.
[0180] As shown, in particular, the cup assembly 110 comprises a protective shell 1110 arranged at the bottom of the cup 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 111, so as to realize the abutment between the fixing member 119 and the cup bottom wall 111c of the cup 111. Figure 11 c
[0181] The protective shell 1110 can be a part of the first coupler 112, for example, the protective shell 1110 is a coupler support bearing the first conductive member 112b in the first coupler 112, and the above-mentioned abutment body 121d is a part of the coupler support.
[0182] It can be understood that the cup assembly 110 can also not be provided with the fixing member 119 for fixing the first water outlet pipe 116. As shown in Figure 11 b and Figure 11 d the first water outlet pipe 116 is not provided with the fixing member 119.
[0183] Referring to Figure 11 c , the cup assembly 110 further comprises a filter 1111 arranged in the inner cavity of the first water outlet pipe 116. In particular, the filter 1111 is arranged at the end of the first water outlet pipe 116 close to the inner cavity of the cup 111, so as to avoid the accumulation of filtered substances in the first water outlet pipe 116, thereby avoiding the smooth flow of water and the increase in the cleaning frequency and difficulty of cleaning of the first water outlet pipe 116 due to the accumulation of filtered substances in the first water outlet pipe 116.
[0184] Optionally, the filter 1111 is detachably arranged on the first water outlet pipe 116, so as to facilitate the cleaning of the first water outlet pipe 116 and the filter 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 away from the inner cavity of the cup body 111. The inner diameter of the mounting section 116c is greater than that 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 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 can abut against the side wall of the mounting section 116c as a whole or partially.
[0187] Referring to Figure 11 c , the cup assembly 110 further includes a valve assembly 1112 arranged in the inner cavity of the first water outlet pipe 116. Specifically, the valve assembly 1112 includes a valve core 1112a, a reset element 1112b and a valve sealing element 1112c. The valve core 1112a is arranged 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 sealing element 1112c to move. When the valve core 1112a is in the sealing position, it can move to the open position against the reset force of the reset element 1112b under the action of an external force. When the valve core 1112a is in the open position, it can return to the sealing position under the action of the reset element 1112b. When the valve core 1112a is in the sealing position, the valve sealing element 1112c blocks the first water outlet pipe 116 to block the water flow through the first water outlet pipe 116. When the valve core 1112a is in the open position, there is a gap between the valve sealing element 1112c and the inner side wall of the first water outlet pipe 116, so that the water flow can pass through the first water outlet pipe 116.
[0188] Specifically, the inner side wall of the first water outlet pipe 116 is provided with a valve limiting ring 116b. The valve sealing element 1112c is arranged on the side of the valve limiting ring 116b close to the inner cavity of the cup body 111 and is fixed on the valve core 1112a. The valve core 1112a is movable along the extension direction of the first water outlet pipe 116 to switch between the sealing position and the open position. The reset element 1112b is arranged on the side of the valve limiting ring 116b away from the inner cavity of the cup body 111. Specifically, the reset element 1112b is an elastic reset element. Along the extension direction of the first water outlet pipe 116, the reset element 1112b abuts against the valve limiting ring 116b and the valve core 1112a at both ends.
[0189] It can be understood that the valve limiting ring 116b is sealingly connected with the inner side wall of the first water outlet pipe 116. Optionally, Figure 11 cIn the shown embodiment, the valve limiting ring 116b is integrally formed with the first water outlet pipe 116. It should be noted that in another embodiment, the valve limiting ring and the first water outlet pipe can be respectively formed and fixedly connected by welding or the like.
[0190] More specifically, the side wall of the valve core 1112a is provided with an annular anti-falling groove, the valve sealing member 1112c covers one end of the valve core 1112a close to the inner cavity of the cup body 111, and the bottom side of the valve sealing member 1112c is provided with an anti-falling part matched with the annular anti-falling groove, so that the valve sealing member 1112c can be more stably fixed on the valve core 1112a.
[0191] Figure 11 a And Figure 11 c Exemplarily, the structure state inside the beverage equipment when the second water outlet pipe 128 is in the second position is shown. At this time, the valve assembly 1112 is in a sealed state with the inner wall of the first water outlet pipe 116, 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, as shown in Figure 11 c As shown, there is a gap H between the side wall of the second water outlet pipe 128 and the second sealing ring 131. Figure 11 b And Figure 11 d Exemplarily, the structure state inside the beverage equipment when the second water outlet pipe 128 is in the first position is shown. The inner rib of the second water outlet pipe 128 lifts up the valve core 1112a, the valve assembly 1112 no longer has a sealing effect on the first water outlet pipe 116, the valve core 1112a is in an 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 in sealing abutment 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 to isolate the inner cavity of the second water outlet pipe 128 from external devices. The inner rib of the second water outlet pipe 128 is located inside the side wall of the second water outlet pipe 128.
[0192] Referring to Figure 14 And Figure 18c The inner side of the second shell 127 is provided with a water blocking piece 127c; the water outlet seat 120 is provided with a motor 129, and the motor 129 is located on the side of the water blocking piece 127c away from the drain hole 127a to isolate the motor 129 from the drain hole 127a, prevent water flow from flowing onto the motor 129, and also prevent water flow from flowing into the interior of the beverage equipment through the motor 129.
[0193] Referring to Figure 15aThe first coupler 112 is provided with a conductive spring 112e. 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 conventional electrical contact through a wire, the conductive spring 112e is used to make electrical contact with the conductive contact 117a in the present application. The conductive spring 112e is less likely to be aged by heat and is less likely to be damaged by thermal contact with the heating component 117b, thereby increasing the service life of the conductive spring 112e and the first coupler 112. In addition, the conductive spring 112e does not need to be provided with a heat insulation structure, thereby 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 large contact area with the conductive contact 117a, which can also better make electrical connection with the conductive contact 117a.
[0195] Optionally, the conductive spring 112e is a copper spring. It can be understood that the conductive spring 112e is not limited to a copper spring, but can also be formed of other conductive materials.
[0196] Referring to Figure 16a and Figure 16b , another embodiment of the present application provides a beverage device, the side wall of the first water outlet 111a has an extension segment 111f extending from the bottom wall of the cup body 111 to the bottom side; and the first water outlet pipe 116 is partially arranged in the first water outlet 111a. On the one hand, the extension segment 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 of the side wall of the first water outlet 111a; on the other hand, the extension segment 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 of the side wall of the first water outlet pipe 116; in one aspect, the extension segment 111f increases the length of the first water outlet pipe 116 extending into the first water outlet 111a, which can effectively avoid excessive inclination of the first water outlet pipe 116.
[0197] Further, the cup body assembly further comprises a fourth sealing ring 1113, the fourth sealing ring 1113 has a sealing insertion slot 1113a matched with the extension segment 111f; and the inner side wall of the sealing insertion slot 1113a is in annular sealing abutment with the first water outlet pipe 116. On the one hand, the contact surface between the fourth sealing ring 1113 and the extension segment 111f is substantially U-shaped, which increases the contact area between the fourth sealing ring 1113 and the extension segment 111f, thereby increasing the sealing between the fourth sealing ring 1113 and the extension segment 111f.
[0198] As Figure 16bAs shown, the fourth sealing ring 1113 is located between the extension section 111f and the coupler support of the first coupler 112 (i.e., the protective shell 1110), and sealingly abuts the coupler support of the first coupler 112, so as to further limit the liquid flow from the water outlet 111a to the first coupler 112, and reduce the contact between the electrical components including the first conductive member 112b in the first coupler 112 and the liquid.
[0199] Referring to Figure 16b and Figure 17 In the embodiment shown, the filter 1111 is arranged in the inner cavity of the cup body 111; the filter 1111 is fixedly arranged on the bottom wall of the cup body 111, and covers the first water outlet 111a.
[0200] Specifically, the filter 1111 is provided with a clamping member 1111a. The clamping member 1111a is inserted into the first water outlet pipe 116 and fixedly abuts the inner side wall of the first water outlet pipe 116. Thus, the filter 1111 and the first water outlet pipe 116 are fixedly connected.
[0201] More specifically, referring to Figure 17 , the clamping member 1111a is provided with three abutting portions 1111b which are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction. The abutting portions 1111b abut the inner side wall of the first water outlet pipe 116. It can be 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 also not limited to this, as long as the abutting portions 1111b can abut the inner side wall of the first water outlet pipe 116 to achieve the fixation of the filter 1111 and the first water outlet pipe 116.
[0202] Referring to Figure 18a , the bottom wall of the cup body assembly 110 is provided with a water leakage hole 1114. When the user accidentally places the cup body assembly 110 in a position with water, the liquid is stored in the cavity where the water leakage hole 1114 is located. The 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, so as to avoid the devices in the cup body assembly 110 from being damp or immersed in water, and improve the service life of the cup body assembly 110.
[0203] As Figure 19As shown, in some embodiments, the cup assembly 110 further comprises a third shell 1116 having a bottom wall of the cup assembly 110, the third shell 1116 is used to carry the first coupler 112, a water containing groove 1116a is formed on the third shell 1116 along the circumference of the first coupler 112, a water leakage hole 1114 is located on the bottom wall of the water containing groove 1116a, and a water blocking wall 1116b is formed on the side wall of the water containing groove 1116 close to the first coupler 112 to limit the liquid in the water containing groove 1116a from flowing to the first coupler 112, thereby reducing the influence of the liquid on the electrical elements on the first coupler 112.
[0204] As shown in FIG. 1, the first coupler 112 is connected to the cup side wall 111b, and the cup bottom wall 111c is located between the cup side wall 111b and the third shell 1116. Figure 19 As shown, the electrical elements on the first coupler 112 include a first conductive part 112b and a power supply contact terminal 112f connected to the first conductive part 112b. The power supply contact terminal 112f extends from the first coupler 112 into the water containing groove 1116.
[0205] As shown in FIG. 1, the first coupler 112 is connected to the cup side wall 111b, and the cup bottom wall 111c is located between the cup side wall 111b and the third shell 1116. Figure 19 As shown, the bottom wall of the cup assembly 110 is further provided with a plurality of support protrusions 1115, and the distance between the support protrusions 1115 and the water outlet seat 120 is less than the distance between the electrical elements on the first coupler 112 and the water outlet seat 120. The support protrusions 1115 protrude towards the water outlet seat 120. When the cup assembly 110 is separated from the water outlet seat 120 and placed on a support surface such as a table, the cup assembly 110 is in contact with the support surface through the support protrusions 1115, which can support and prevent slipping. In addition, the support protrusions 1115 can reduce the contact area between the bottom wall of the cup assembly 110 and the support surface, thereby reducing the wear of the support surface. At the same time, the support protrusions 1115 protrude from the bottom wall of the cup assembly 110, so that even if the support surface has some water stains, the support protrusions 1115 can isolate the water stains and have a certain waterproof effect.
[0206] Figure 18a As shown, the distance between the support protrusions 1115 and the water outlet seat 120 is less than the distance between the electrical elements on the first coupler 112 and the water outlet seat, that is, the support protrusions 1115 are located at the lowest part of the cup assembly 110, which can better reduce the influence of the water stains on the support surface on the electrical elements on the first coupler 112.
[0207] As shown in FIG. 1, the first coupler 112 is connected to the cup side wall 111b, and the cup bottom wall 111c is located between the cup side wall 111b and the third shell 1116.
[0208] As shown in FIG. 1, the first coupler 112 is connected to the cup side wall 111b, and the cup bottom wall 111c is located between the cup side wall 111b and the third shell 1116. Figure 1 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, the beverage device further comprises a cup cover assembly 140 capable of covering the cup body 111, the cup cover assembly 140 having a water inlet communicating with the interior of the cup body 111, the water inlet being 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 1 a Exemplarily, a structural schematic diagram of the beverage device is shown when the cup cover assembly 140 is in the closed state. Figure 1 b Exemplarily, a structural schematic diagram of the beverage device is shown when the cup cover assembly 140 is in the open state.
[0211] Exemplarily, as Figure 20 shown, the beverage device further comprises a sensor 150b and a water inlet and outlet control valve, the sensor is installed at the inlet of the cup cover assembly 140 or the cup body 111, the water inlet and outlet control valve and the sensor 150b are electrically connected with the controller; when the cup cover assembly 140 covers the cup body 111, i.e. the cup cover assembly 140 is in the closed state, the sensor 150b generates an induction signal, and the controller can control the water inlet and outlet control valve to control the liquid to enter the cup body 111 through the water inlet according to the induction signal; when the cup cover assembly 140 and the cup body 111 are in the open state, the sensor 150b does not generate an induction signal, and no liquid enters the cup body 111 through the water inlet.
[0212] As Figure 20 shown, the water inlet and outlet control valve can comprise a plurality of electromagnetic valves 156, of course, in other feasible embodiments, the water inlet and outlet control valve can also be one electromagnetic valve.
[0213] Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, by controlling the cup cover assembly 140 to be in the open state relative to the cup body 111, the water adding can be stopped; by controlling the cup cover assembly 140 to be in the closed state relative to the cup body 111, the water adding to the cup body 111 can be realized, and the water adding can also be stopped when the water amount reaches the predetermined water amount and / or a stop water adding instruction is received.
[0214] As Figure 20 shown, in some embodiments, the beverage device further comprises a raw water tank 159 and a machine body 150, the machine body comprising a purified water tank 152, a filter assembly 153 and a pipeline 154. Figure 1As shown, the beverage device further comprises a housing 151, the water tank 152, the filter assembly 153 and the pipeline 154 are located in the housing 151, the filter assembly 153 is connected between the raw water tank 159 and the water tank 152, the inlet of the pipeline 154 is connected to the water tank 152, 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 housing 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, and the clean water is stored in the water tank 152. The pipeline 154 is used to at least transport the water in the water tank 152 to the cup body 111.
[0216] The water storage tank is the water tank 152 in the example of washing the floor.
[0217] The filter assembly 153 includes, for example, an activated carbon filter core, a reverse osmosis filter core, etc.
[0218] The clean water in the water tank 152 enters the cup body 111 through the water inlet of the cup cover assembly 140, and the food in the cup body 111 is brewed, and then the heating element 117b can continue to heat the liquid in the cup body 111, and then the liquid in the cup body 111 flows to the second water outlet pipe 128 through the first water outlet 111a and the first water outlet pipe 116, and finally flows to the water receiving container 160 through the second water outlet pipe 128 for the user to drink.
[0219] In some embodiments, the beverage device further comprises a heating structure 155, the heating structure 155 is located in the housing 151, the heating structure 155 is located between the 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 that flows to 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. It can meet the user's demand for drinking hot water or boiling tea.
[0221] As shown, the heating structure 155 can be a heating pipe. Figure 20
[0222] The tea-making is taken as an example to further illustrate the beverage equipment of the present application. The cup cover assembly 140 is pivotally connected to the machine body 150, so that the cup cover assembly 140 can be rotated to switch between the closed state and the open state. The pipeline 154 at least includes a tea outlet communicating with the water inlet of the cup cover assembly 140. Before the tea-making, the tea leaves can be placed in the cup body 111, and the cup assembly 110 is assembled with the water outlet seat 120, so that the first conductive part 112b in the first coupler 112 contacts the second conductive part 121a in the second coupler 121 to supply power to the heating assembly 117 at the bottom of the cup assembly 110. After the cup cover assembly 140 is in the closed state and the cup assembly 110 is assembled in place, the instruction is applied by the key operation or the touch operation on the screen of the control panel 150a connected with the machine body 150, and the purified water in the purified water tank 152 is heated, and then is injected into the cup body 111 through the tea outlet 154b of the pipeline 154, so that the tea leaves are first brewed for the tea-making. The water injection is automatically stopped when the water injection is completed, and the thick film heating disc (i.e. the heating assembly 117) starts to heat at full power to start the tea-making. At this time, the water temperature can be detected by the temperature sensor 170 in the cup 111, and when the water in the cup 111 starts to boil, the power is reduced to 100W for micro-cooking, and the heating is stopped after about 2 to 3 minutes. As shown in Figure 11 c , during the tea-making, the valve core 1112a in the first water outlet pipe 1116 is in the sealing position, the valve sealing member 1112c blocks the first water outlet pipe 116 to block the water flow through the first water outlet pipe 116. As shown in Figure 11 b , after the tea-making is completed, the motor 129 (specifically, a stepping motor) drives the lever to be raised, the raised lever pushes the second water outlet pipe 123 upward, the second water outlet pipe 123 in turn pushes the valve core 1112a upward, the valve core 1112a moves to the open position, the valve sealing member 1112c no longer blocks the first water outlet pipe 116, and the tea water can flow into 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 water in the cup 111 is completely poured, the stepping motor is reversed to return to the original position, and the valve core 1112a returns to the sealing position.
[0223] The water receiving container 160 can be a cup, and can also be a water bottle with an open upper portion as shown in Figure 1 a and Figure 1 b .
[0224] When the first coupler 112 and the second coupler 121 are installed in place, they can not only be electrically connected with the heating assembly 117 to supply power to the heating assembly 117, but also can be electrically connected with the temperature sensor 170 to supply power to the temperature sensor 170. The first coupler 112 can realize the electrical connection with the heating assembly 117 and the temperature sensor 170 through the first conductive part 112b, respectively.
[0225] The temperature sensor 170 can be located inside the cup body 111 to detect the temperature of the liquid in the cup body 111. Figure 11 a The temperature sensor 170 is exemplarily shown as being mounted on the cup bottom wall 111c of the cup body 111. The temperature sensor 170 is not limited to being mounted on the cup bottom wall 111c, and can also be mounted on the side wall of the cup body 111 or other positions inside the cup body 111, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0226] When the temperature sensor 170 detects that the temperature of the liquid in the cup body 111 does not reach the preset temperature, the heating assembly 117 can heat at a first power until the temperature sensor 170 detects that the liquid in the cup body 111 reaches the preset temperature, and then the heating assembly 117 can heat at a second power for a certain time (for example, 2-3 Min) and then stop heating; or, the heating assembly 117 can immediately stop heating when the temperature sensor 170 detects that the liquid in the cup body 111 reaches the preset temperature. Non-limitingly, the preset temperature can be 100℃, 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. As shown in Figure 1 The handle 111g of the cup body assembly 110 can be directly held and rotated to be removed from the water outlet seat 120. Figure 1 As shown in the cup body assembly 110 of the water drinking device, at this time, the spring (i.e., the reset member 1112b) of the valve core 1112a pushes the valve core 1112a to be tightly sealed, the first water outlet pipe 116 does not leak water, and the cup body assembly 110 can be cleaned.
[0228] As shown in Figure 20 The cup body 111 can be placed in the heat preservation water collecting box 150c to heat the tea in the cup body 111.
[0229] The pure water flowing out of the tea outlet 154b of the pipeline 154 is heated by the heating structure 155, so that the tea leaves in the cup body 111 can be brewed before the tea is boiled, and the water in the cup body 111 can be heated by the heating assembly 117 according to the type of the tea leaves.
[0230] In some embodiments, the water outlet seat 120 is fixed on the shell 151. The cup cover assembly 140 and the water outlet seat 120 are both mounted on the shell, and the cup body assembly 110 can not be mounted on the shell. The cup body assembly 110 can be supported by the water outlet seat 120, and the cup body assembly 110 can be separated from the machine body when tea leaves are added, without the need to carry the cup cover assembly 140 and the water outlet seat 120, which is more convenient to use.
[0231] As shown in Figure 20As shown, the pipeline 154 may also include a water outlet 154a, which is separately provided from the tea outlet 154b. The water outlet 154a can provide hot water heated by the heating structure 155, or it can also provide purified water that is not heated by the heating structure 155 / or purified water that is not heated by the heating structure 155, in order to meet different needs. Figure 20 The arrow on the central pipe 154 indicates the direction of water flow.
[0232] In addition, a booster pump 157b, a flow pump 157a, and a water vapor separator 158 can also be installed in the pipeline 154. The water vapor separator 158 is connected to the water outlet and the clean water tank so that the vapor can be discharged into the clean water tank 152. The water in the clean water tank 152 cannot flow directly out of the water outlet 154a to avoid dripping from the water outlet 154a.
[0233] In some embodiments, the tea outlet 154b is higher than the highest liquid level line of the purified water tank 152. Since water will not flow upwards, this can reduce the dripping problem when the tea outlet 154b is not in use.
[0234] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the cup assembly 110 protrudes from the body 150. The beverage device of this application embodiment includes not only the cup assembly 110 and the water outlet 120 for brewing tea, but also the body 150 for providing purified water and having a heating function, thus offering richer functionality and meeting more needs.
