The terminology used in the description herein is for describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. Various technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any manner, and to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the above technical features are described, however, as long as the combinations of the technical features do not contradict each other, they should be considered to be within the scope of the present application.
[0143] As shown in Figures 1 to 32 An embodiment of the present application provides a beverage machine, which comprises a water purification mechanism, a heating mechanism 290, a beverage processing mechanism, a heat preservation container 220, a water outlet 201, a water pump assembly, and a valve assembly 230.
[0144] Among them, referring to Figures 1 to 5 The water purification mechanism comprises a filter assembly 203 and a water purification tank 204 connected to a water outlet end of the filter assembly 203. The heating mechanism 290 is used to heat the purified water flowing through the heating mechanism 290. The beverage processing mechanism comprises a cup assembly 210. The water pump assembly comprises a first water pump 250 for pumping the purified water in the water purification tank 204 and flowing through the heating mechanism 290, and a second water pump 280 for pumping the water in the heat preservation container 220 and flowing through the heating mechanism 290. The valve assembly 230 can selectively control the purified water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 to be delivered to the water outlet 201, the cup assembly 210 or the heat preservation container 220.
[0145] The above beverage machine has the functions of water purification, beverage processing, heat preservation and large-flow fast hot water outputting. The water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 is filtered, so that the drinking water outputted through the water outlet 201 is more suitable for drinking. In addition, the filtered water used for making beverages can better increase the taste of the beverages.
[0146] Specifically, the raw water is first filtered by the filtering assembly 203 and then flows into the water purification tank 204 for standby. The purified water in the water purification tank 204 is pumped out by the first water pump 250 and flows through the heating mechanism 290. The heating mechanism 290 determines whether to perform heating treatment according to a control instruction. Then, the purified water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 is delivered to the water outlet 201, the cup assembly 210 or the heat preservation container 220 through the control valve assembly 230. That is, the purified water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 can be directly used for drinking, used for making beverages or stored in the heat preservation container 220. The water in the heat preservation container 220 can also be pumped out by the second water pump 280 and flow through the heating mechanism 290. The heating mechanism 290 determines whether to perform heating treatment according to a control instruction. Then, the purified water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 is delivered to the water outlet 201, the cup assembly 210 or the heat preservation container 220 through the control valve assembly 230. That is, the purified water in the heat preservation container 220 can be heated again. After heating, the purified water can be directly used for drinking, used for making beverages or stored in the heat preservation container 220 again.
[0147] Therefore, the above water dispenser has the function of filtering the water flowing through the heating mechanism 290, so that the drinking water outputted through the water outlet 201 for direct drinking is more suitable for drinking. In addition, the filtered water used for making beverages can better increase the taste of the beverages.
[0148] In addition, it can be understood that the heating mechanism 290 is used for heating treatment of the purified water flowing therethrough. However, when the heating mechanism 290 does not work, the purified water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 cannot be heated, so that the purified water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 can be delivered to the water outlet 201 through the valve assembly 230 to obtain normal-temperature purified water. In addition, if the purified water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 comes from the heat preservation container 220, the purified water with appropriate temperature can flow out through the water outlet 201 for drinking. Of course, the purified water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 can also be delivered to the cup assembly 210 through the valve assembly 230 to be used for making beverages, for example, the purified water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 is boiled water, which can be used to make tea by using the cup assembly 210.
[0149] It can be understood that if the purified water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 comes from the heat preservation container 220, the purified water in the heat preservation container 220 has a relatively high temperature, and thus the purified water can be quickly heated to a higher temperature by the heating mechanism 290, and thus the flow rate of the purified water can be relatively high. If the purified water flowing through the heating mechanism 290 comes from the purified water tank 204, the purified water in the purified water tank 204 has a temperature close to room temperature, and thus it takes a relatively long time to heat the purified water to the required temperature by the heating mechanism 290, and thus the flow rate of the purified water needs to be relatively low. Therefore, according to the above requirements, the pumping rate of the second water pump 280 can be set to be greater than the pumping rate of the first water pump 250, so as to meet the above flow rate requirements.
[0150] Optionally, in the present embodiment, the first water pump 250 and the second water pump 280 are both diaphragm pumps, which can better avoid water leakage.
[0151] In the present embodiment, the filter assembly 203 includes a pre-composite filter element, an RO reverse osmosis filter element, and a post-activated carbon filter element. That is, the raw water is filtered by the pre-composite filter element, the RO reverse osmosis filter element, and the post-activated carbon filter element in sequence to form purified water, which is delivered to the purified water tank 204. It can be understood that in another feasible embodiment, the filter elements of the filter assembly are not limited to this, and other filter elements that meet the filtering requirements can also be used. Of course, more than three or less than three filter elements can also be provided according to the filtering effect of the filter elements.
[0152] In the present embodiment, the beverage machine further includes a housing 202, the housing 202 has an inner cavity, the purified water mechanism, the heating mechanism 290, the heat preservation container 220, the water pump assembly, and the valve assembly 230 are all located in the inner cavity of the housing 202, so as to protect the purified water mechanism, the heating mechanism 290, the heat preservation container 220, the water pump assembly, and the valve assembly 230 from being damaged by the external environment. In addition, the purified water mechanism, the heating mechanism 290, the heat preservation container 220, the water pump assembly, and the valve assembly 230 arranged in the inner cavity of the housing 202 can also increase the neatness of the appearance of the beverage machine.
[0153] The housing 202 includes a front panel 2022, and the outer surface of the front panel 2022 has a recessed area 2023. The beverage processing mechanism is located on the outer surface of the recessed area 2023 of the front panel 2022. The recessed area 2023 is recessed inward, that is, the recessed area 2023 is recessed toward the inner cavity of the housing 202. The recessed area 2023 is recessed inward, and the beverage processing mechanism is located on the outer surface of the recessed area 2023 of the front panel 2022, thereby reducing the overall volume of the beverage machine, reducing the occupied space, and meeting the miniaturization requirements of the beverage machine.
[0154] Of course, it can be understood that the recessed area 2023 of the front panel 2022 is recessed inward, which occupies part of the space in the inner cavity of the housing 202, and thus the relative positional relationship of the structures arranged in the inner cavity of the housing 202 needs to be reasonably set.
[0155] Specifically, in the embodiment, the heating mechanism 290 is located at the inner side of the front panel 2022 and is arranged adjacent to the front panel 2022, so as to reduce the distance between the heating unit and the beverage processing mechanism, so that the length of the connecting pipe between the heating unit and the beverage processing mechanism is small, on the one hand, the conveying distance of the heated purified water is short, so that the temperature of the purified water conveyed to the beverage processing mechanism can be better guaranteed; on the other hand, the space occupied by the connecting pipe between the heating unit and the beverage processing mechanism is small.
[0156] Further, in the embodiment, the heat preservation container 220 is located at the inner side of the front panel 2022 and is arranged adjacent to the front panel 2022, so as to reduce the distance between the heat preservation container 220 and the second water pump 280, so that the length of the connecting pipe between the heat preservation container 220 and the second water pump 280 is small, on the one hand, the conveying distance of the pumped heat preservation water in the heat preservation container 220 is small, so that the heat loss of the heat preservation water in the conveying process is small; on the other hand, the space occupied by the connecting pipe between the second water pump 280 and the heat preservation container 220 is small, which can better meet the miniaturization demand of the beverage machine.
[0157] Further, in the embodiment, the cover 202 further comprises a first side panel 2024 adjacent to the front panel 2022, the first water pump 250 is located at the inner side of the first side panel 2024 and is arranged adjacent to the second water pump 280 and the first side panel 2024, so as to make the distance between the first water pump 250 and the heating mechanism 290 close, and reduce the length of the connecting pipe between the first water pump 250 and the heating mechanism 290.
[0158] Further, in the embodiment, the purified water tank 204 is located at the inner side of the front panel 2022 and is arranged adjacent to the front panel 2022, so as to make the distance between the first water pump 250 and the purified water tank 204 small. On the one hand, the length of the connecting pipe between the first water pump 250 and the purified water tank 204 can be small, so that the space occupied by the connecting pipe between the first water pump 250 and the purified water tank 204 is small, and the phenomenon that the connecting pipe between the first water pump 250 and the purified water tank 204 is easy to bend due to the length being too long can be effectively avoided.
[0159] Further, in the embodiment, the heating mechanism 290, the heat preservation container 220, and the water pump assembly are located on the bottom side of the purified water tank 204. On the one hand, the purified water tank 204 is located on the upper side, facilitating the drainage of the purified water in the purified water tank 204 to flow through the heating mechanism 290, reducing the burden of the first water pump 250, and improving the efficiency and service life of the first water pump 250; on the other hand, the heating mechanism 290, the heat preservation container 220, and the water pump assembly are located on the bottom side of the purified water tank 204, which can make the size of the beverage machine in the direction perpendicular to the depth of the purified water tank 204 smaller under the premise of ensuring the volume of the purified water tank 204; on the other hand, the purified water tank 204 is located on the upper side, facilitating the cleaning of the purified water tank 204.
[0160] In the embodiment, the beverage machine further comprises a bottom plate assembly 205 and a raw water tank mounting position 2051. The raw water tank mounting position 2051 and the housing 202 are fixedly arranged on the bottom plate assembly 205. The raw water tank mounting position 2051 is arranged adjacent to the housing 202, and the raw water tank mounting position 2051 is located on the side of the housing 202 away from the front panel 2022. That is, the raw water tank mounting position 2051 is located at the tail end of the beverage machine. The installation and disassembly of the raw water tank are facilitated.
[0161] Further, in the embodiment, along the arrangement direction of the raw water tank mounting position 2051 and the housing 202 on the bottom plate assembly 205, that is, the M-M direction in Figure 1 , the filter assembly 203 is located between the purified water tank 204 and the raw water tank mounting position 2051. Thus, the raw water tank arranged on the raw water tank mounting position 2051, the filter assembly 203, and the purified water tank 204 are arranged in sequence, which is basically consistent with the process of storing the purified water obtained by filtering the raw water in the raw water tank through the filter assembly 203 in the purified water tank 204, thereby making the filtering process smoother and making the connecting pipes connecting the raw water tank and the filter assembly 203, and the filter assembly 203 and the purified water tank 204 shorter.
[0162] In the embodiment, the raw water tank mounting position 2051 and the bottom plate assembly 205 are detachably fixedly connected. It can be understood that, in another feasible embodiment, the raw water tank mounting position 2051 and the bottom plate assembly 205 can also be fixedly connected or integrally formed.
[0163] Specifically, in the embodiment, as shown in Figures 6 to 13 , the valve assembly 230 comprises a main body 110, a first electromagnetic drainage unit, and a second electromagnetic drainage unit. Specifically, referring to Figures 8 to 12The main body 110 has a first cavity 111, a second cavity 112, a first communication channel 114 communicating the first cavity 111 and the second cavity 112, a water inlet 116 communicating the first cavity 111, a first water outlet 117 communicating the first cavity 111, a second water outlet 118 communicating the second cavity 112, and a third water outlet 119 communicating the second cavity 112.
[0164] The first electromagnetic flow unit is switchable between a first state and a second state to selectively block the first communication channel 114 and the first water outlet 117. When the first electromagnetic flow unit is in the first state, the first communication channel 114 is blocked, and the first water outlet 117 is in communication with the first cavity 111, so that the fluid entering the first cavity 111 from the water inlet 116 flows out from the first water outlet 117. When the first electromagnetic flow unit is in the second state, the first water outlet 117 is blocked, and the first cavity 111 is in communication with the second cavity 112 through the first communication channel 114, so that the fluid entering the first cavity 111 from the water inlet 116 flows to the second cavity 112 through the first communication channel 114. Figure 8 The first electromagnetic flow unit is switchable between a first state and a second state to selectively block the first communication channel 114 and the first water outlet 117. When the first electromagnetic flow unit is in the first state, the first communication channel 114 is blocked, and the first water outlet 117 is in communication with the first cavity 111, so that the fluid entering the first cavity 111 from the water inlet 116 flows out from the first water outlet 117. When the first electromagnetic flow unit is in the second state, the first water outlet 117 is blocked, and the first cavity 111 is in communication with the second cavity 112 through the first communication channel 114, so that the fluid entering the first cavity 111 from the water inlet 116 flows to the second cavity 112 through the first communication channel 114. Figure 12 and Figure 13 .
[0165] The second electromagnetic flow unit is switchable between a third state and a fourth state to selectively block the second communication channel 115 and the second water outlet 118. When the second electromagnetic flow unit is in the third state, the second communication channel 115 is blocked, and the second water outlet 118 is in communication with the second cavity 112, so that the fluid flowing into the second cavity 112 flows out from the second water outlet 118. When the second electromagnetic flow unit is in the fourth state, the second water outlet 118 is blocked, and the second cavity 112 is in communication with the third water outlet 119 through the second communication channel 115, so that the fluid flowing into the second cavity 112 flows to the third water outlet 119 through the second communication channel 115 and then flows out from the third water outlet 119. Figure 21 The second electromagnetic flow unit is switchable between a third state and a fourth state to selectively block the second communication channel 115 and the second water outlet 118. When the second electromagnetic flow unit is in the third state, the second communication channel 115 is blocked, and the second water outlet 118 is in communication with the second cavity 112, so that the fluid flowing into the second cavity 112 flows out from the second water outlet 118. When the second electromagnetic flow unit is in the fourth state, the second water outlet 118 is blocked, and the second cavity 112 is in communication with the third water outlet 119 through the second communication channel 115, so that the fluid flowing into the second cavity 112 flows to the third water outlet 119 through the second communication channel 115 and then flows out from the third water outlet 119. Figure 13 .
[0166] It can be understood that the first cavity 111 and the second cavity 112 are in communication, so that the fluid entering from the water inlet 116 can flow into the first cavity 111 and the second cavity 112 in sequence when the first communication channel 114 is not blocked. When the first electromagnetic flow unit is in the first state, the fluid flows out from the first water outlet 117; when the first electromagnetic flow unit is in the second state and the second electromagnetic flow unit is in the third state, the fluid flows out from the second water outlet 118; and when the first electromagnetic flow unit is in the second state and the second electromagnetic flow unit is in the fourth state, the fluid flows out from the third water outlet 119.
[0167] Therefore, the valve assembly 230 can make the liquid entering the water inlet 116 flow out from one of the first water outlet 117, the second water outlet 118 and the third water outlet 119 by adjusting the state of the first electromagnetic flow guide unit and the second electromagnetic flow guide unit, that is, the liquid can flow out from one of the at least three water outlets, so as to realize the one-in-multiple-out effect. Therefore, the one-in-multiple-out complex waterway requirement can be realized by one valve assembly 230, the phenomenon of series or parallel connection of multiple valve assemblies 230 is avoided, the space occupation is small, and the cost is low.
[0168] In the embodiment, the first water outlet 117 is in communication with the water outlet device 201, that is, the first water outlet 117 is a water taking outlet. The second water outlet 118 is in communication with the heat preservation container 220. The third water outlet 119 is in communication with the cup body assembly 210. Therefore, when the water inlet 116 is supplied with water and the first electromagnetic flow guide unit is in the first state, the first water outlet 117 is supplied with water. When the water inlet 116 is supplied with water, the first electromagnetic flow guide unit is in the second state, and the second electromagnetic flow guide unit is in the third state, the second water outlet 118 is supplied with water, and the water flowing out of the second water outlet 118 flows into the heat preservation container 220. When the water inlet 116 is supplied with water, the first electromagnetic flow guide unit is in the second state, and the second electromagnetic flow guide unit is in the fourth state, the third water outlet 119 is supplied with water, and the water flowing out of the third water outlet 119 flows into the cup body assembly 210.
[0169] Therefore, if there is a direct drinking requirement, the water entering the water inlet 116 can flow out from the first water outlet 117 by controlling the first electromagnetic flow guide unit to be in the first state. If there is a requirement of processing tea or juice and the like, the water entering the water inlet 116 can flow out from the third water outlet 119 by controlling the first electromagnetic flow guide unit to be in the second state and the second electromagnetic flow guide unit to be in the fourth state. If there is no direct drinking requirement and no requirement of processing tea or juice and the like, and only the heated water needs to be stored, the water entering the water inlet 116 can flow out from the second water outlet 118 by controlling the first electromagnetic flow guide unit to be in the second state and the second electromagnetic flow guide unit to be in the third state, and then the water is stored in the heat preservation container 220 for heat preservation. The beverage machine provided in the embodiment utilizes the above valve assembly, in combination with the cup body assembly, the water taking outlet and the heat preservation container, so that the beverage machine can provide various liquids such as pure water and beverages, and can quickly provide water with a high temperature, thereby saving the time used by the user for heating water or brewing beverages.
[0170] Further, in the embodiment, the main body 110 further has a second communication channel 115 communicating with the second cavity 112. The third water outlet 119 communicates with the second cavity 112 through the second communication channel 115. Therefore, when the second electromagnetic drainage unit is in the fourth state, the second water outlet 118 is blocked, the second cavity 112 and the third water outlet 119 are communicated through the second communication channel 115, and the fluid flowing into the second cavity 112 flows to the third water outlet 119 through the second communication channel 115 and then flows out of the third water outlet 119, as shown in FIG. 6. Figure 13 When the second electromagnetic drainage unit is in the third state, the second communication channel 115 is blocked, so that the second water outlet 118 and the second cavity 112 are communicated, and the fluid flowing into the second cavity 112 flows out of the second water outlet 118, as shown in FIG. 5. Figure 12 .
[0171] Further, in the embodiment, the main body 110 further has a third cavity 113. The third cavity 113 communicates with the second cavity 112 through the second communication channel 115, and the third water outlet 119 directly communicates with the third cavity 113. Therefore, when the second electromagnetic drainage unit is in the fourth state, the second water outlet 118 is blocked, the second cavity 112 and the third cavity 113 are communicated through the second communication channel 115, and the fluid flowing into the second cavity 112 flows to the third cavity 113 through the second communication channel 115 and then flows out of the third water outlet 119, as shown in FIG. 6. Figure 13 .
[0172] As can be seen from Figure 7 and Figure 8 , in the embodiment, the main body 110 includes an upper valve body 30, a lower valve body 40 fixedly connected with the upper valve body 30, and a support frame 50 arranged on the side of the lower valve body 40 away from the upper valve body 30. The support frame 50 is fixedly connected with the lower valve body 40. The water inlet 116, the first water outlet 117, and the second water outlet 118 are arranged on the upper valve body, and the third water outlet 119 is arranged on the lower valve body. The liquid flowing in from the water inlet 116 can flow out of one of the first water outlet 117, the second water outlet 118, and the third water outlet 119. Therefore, when the upper valve body 30 and the lower valve body 40 are fixedly connected, the abutment of the flow communication channel and / or the abutment of the cavities is achieved. Therefore, when the upper valve body 30 and the lower valve body 40 are fixedly connected, a sealing structure needs to be arranged between the upper valve body 30 and the lower valve body 40 to prevent water from flowing out of the abutment position of the upper valve body and the lower valve body. Specifically, in the embodiment, the sealing structure between the upper valve body 30 and the lower valve body 40 is a sealing ring 60. Of course, the size of the sealing ring 60 at different positions can be set as needed. Similarly, in the embodiment, a sealing ring 60 is also arranged between the lower valve body 40 and the support frame 50. Of course, if the main body is provided with an opening for communicating the cavity or the communication channel with the outside, the opening needs to be sealed when it needs to be blocked. For example, Figure 7seal 70 in the first embodiment.
[0173] It can be understood that in another possible embodiment, the main body can also be two halves or be disassembled into several elements in other disassembly manners, as long as the mutual relationship between the cavity, the flow passage, the water inlet and the water outlet in the present application is met.
[0174] In the present embodiment, the first electromagnetic drainage unit comprises a first mover 131, a first coil 133 sleeved on the first mover 131, a first plug 135 located in the first cavity 111 and fixedly connected with the first mover 131, and a first reset member 137. When the first coil 133 is not powered, the first mover 131 is reset under the action of the first reset member 137, so that the first water outlet 117 is blocked by the first plug 135, i.e., the first electromagnetic drainage unit is in the second state, as shown in FIG. 1B. Figure 12 When the first coil 133 is powered, the first mover 131 moves to drive the first plug 135 to move, so that the first communication passage 114 is blocked by the first plug 135, i.e., the first electromagnetic drainage unit is in the first state, as shown in FIG. 1A. Figure 8 .
[0175] Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, Figure 8 The first electromagnetic drainage unit further comprises a first connecting member 139 movably penetrating in the first communication passage 114. The first connecting member 139 is fixedly connected with the first plug 135 and the first mover 131 at both ends, respectively. In the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the first communication passage 114, the cross-sectional area of the first connecting member 139 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the first communication passage 114. Therefore, when the first plug 135 does not block the first communication passage 114, the fluid in the first cavity 111 can flow to the second cavity 112 through the space between the first connecting member 139 and the side wall of the first communication passage 114.
[0176] It should be noted that the first coil 133 needs to be isolated from water, so the first coil 133 cannot be directly located in the first cavity 111. In the present embodiment, the first coil 133 is located outside the first cavity 111, and correspondingly, the first mover 131 is also located outside the first cavity 111. By penetrating the first connecting member 139 connecting the first mover 131 and the first plug 135 in the first communication passage 114, i.e., without the need to additionally set a penetrating passage for the first connecting member 139, the structure of the main body 110 is more simple. In addition, in the present embodiment, the first connecting member 139 is spaced from the side wall of the first communication passage 114, which can also avoid the friction between the first connecting member 139 and the side wall of the first communication passage 114, so that the first mover 131 can more smoothly drive the first plug 135 to move.
[0177] In this embodiment, the first mover 131 and the first connector 139 are integrally formed. Of course, in other feasible embodiments, the first mover and the first connector can also be separately provided and fixedly connected. Alternatively, the first mover and the first connector can be connected by other connecting structures, enabling them to move together.
[0178] In this embodiment, the main body 110 also has a first accommodating space 1112, which is sealed and separated from the first communicating channel 114, meaning that liquid in the first communicating channel 114 will not flow into the first accommodating space 1112. A first moving element 131 is partially inserted into the first accommodating space 1112, and a first coil 133 is disposed within the first accommodating space 1112, with the first coil 133 sleeved on the first moving element 131. On one hand, energizing the first coil 133 can drive the first moving element 131 to move; on the other hand, it can also prevent fluid from flowing into the first accommodating space 1112 and causing a short circuit in the first coil 133. It is understood that the first accommodating space 1112 is located on the side of the first communicating channel 114 away from the first cavity 111.
[0179] In this embodiment, the first reset member 137 is an elastic member disposed within the first accommodating space 1112. Specifically, one end of the first reset member 137 abuts against the main body 110, and the other end abuts against the first moving element 131. Under the elastic force of the first reset member 137, the first moving element 131 moves along... Figure 8 The device moves upwards in the direction shown in the view until the first plug 135 blocks the first outlet 117, thus placing the first electromagnetic flow guiding unit in the second state. Correspondingly, after the first coil 133 is energized, the first moving element 131, under the magnetic force of the magnetic field generated by the first coil 133, overcomes the elastic force of the first reset element 137 and moves along... Figure 17 The view shown is moved downwards until the first plug 135 blocks the first connecting channel 114, so that the first electromagnetic flow-guiding unit is in the first state.
[0180] More specifically, in this embodiment, the first accommodating space 1112 is enclosed by the support frame 50. It is understood that in other feasible embodiments, the first accommodating space may also be located on the upper or lower valve body. Of course, in other feasible embodiments, if the main body structure is bi-half or is decomposed into several components using other decomposition methods, then the first accommodating space can be provided on one or more of the components constituting the main body, satisfying the positional and operational requirements of structures such as the first mover and the first coil.
[0181] In the embodiment, the first accommodating space 1112 is also fixedly provided with a framework 80, the framework 80 is sleeved on the first mover 131, and the first coil 133 is sleeved on the framework 80. On the one hand, the first mover 131 can be more stably inserted into the first accommodating space 1112, and the inclination of the first mover 131 is avoided. On the other hand, the first mover 131 and the first coil 133 can also be isolated by the framework 80.
[0182] Specifically, one end of the first reset member 137 abuts against the framework 80, and the framework 80 is fixedly arranged in the first accommodating space 1112, so that the abutment between the first reset member 137 and the support frame 50 is realized, that is, the abutment between the first reset member 137 and the support frame 50 is realized.
[0183] In the embodiment, the support frame 50 is also provided with a pressing plate 90 for covering the first accommodating space 1112. On the one hand, the sealing butt joint of the support frame 50 and the lower valve body 40 is facilitated, and on the other hand, the structure such as the first coil in the first accommodating space 1112 except the first mover 131 can be effectively prevented from sliding out of the first accommodating space 1112.
[0184] Of course, it can be understood that in another feasible embodiment, the first coil is not electrified, the first mover is reset under the action of the first reset member, and the first communication channel can also be blocked by the first plug, that is, the first electromagnetic drainage unit is in the first state at this time. Correspondingly, the first coil is electrified, the first mover moves to drive the first plug to move, so that the first water outlet is blocked by the first plug, that is, the first electromagnetic drainage unit is in the second state at this time. Of course, compared with the valve assembly 230, the position of the first reset member needs to be adjusted at this time to change the direction of the reset force of the first reset member acting on the first mover.
[0185] In addition, it can be understood that in another feasible embodiment, the first electromagnetic drainage unit is not limited to this, and the first electromagnetic drainage unit can be switched between the first state and the second state.
[0186] In the embodiment, the second electromagnetic drainage unit includes a second mover 151, a second coil 153 sleeved on the second mover 151, a second plug 155 located in the second cavity 112 and fixedly connected with the second mover 151, and a second reset member 157; the second coil 153 is not electrified, the second mover 151 is reset under the action of the second reset member 157, so that the second water outlet 118 is blocked by the second plug 155, that is, the second electromagnetic drainage unit is in the fourth state, and the second coil 153 is electrified, the second mover 151 moves to drive the second plug 155 to move, so that the second communication channel 115 is blocked by the second plug 155, that is, the second electromagnetic drainage unit is in the third state, and the second coil 153 is not electrified, the second mover 151 is reset under the action of the second reset member 157, so that the second water outlet 118 is blocked by the second plug 155, that is, the second electromagnetic drainage unit is in the fourth state. Figure 13 Figure 12 .
[0187] In the embodiment, the second electromagnetic flow guiding unit has the same structure as the first electromagnetic flow guiding unit, which will not be described here. Of course, it can be understood that in another possible embodiment, the second electromagnetic flow guiding unit can also have a different structure from the first electromagnetic flow guiding unit, as long as it can achieve its own flow guiding function.
[0188] Of course, in another possible embodiment, the second coil is not powered, the second mover is reset under the action of the second reset member, and the second communication channel can also be blocked by the second plug, that is, the second electromagnetic flow guiding unit is in the third state. Correspondingly, the second coil is powered, the second mover moves to drive the second plug to move, so that the second water outlet is blocked by the second plug, that is, the second electromagnetic flow guiding unit is in the fourth state.
[0189] In the embodiment, referring to Figures 8 to 10 , the main body 110 further includes an intermediate cavity 1111, and the first cavity 111, the intermediate cavity 1111 and the second cavity 112 are sequentially communicated. The first cavity 111 and the intermediate cavity 1111 are communicated through the first communication channel 114. The fluid in the first cavity 111 first flows to the intermediate cavity 1111 through the first communication channel 114, and then flows to the second cavity 112 from the intermediate cavity 1111. Due to the arrangement of the first connecting member 139, the structure of the first communication channel 114 can only extend along a straight line, or have a small amplitude bending or bending, so that the first connecting member 139 can move in the first communication channel 114. Therefore, if the second cavity 112 is directly connected with the first cavity 111 through the first communication channel 114, the relative position relationship between the first cavity 111 and the second cavity 112 is limited. In the present application, the position of the second cavity 112 can be freely selected according to needs by arranging the intermediate cavity 1111, so that the second water outlet 118 can be freely arranged at the desired position.
[0190] More specifically, the intermediate cavity 1111 and the second cavity 112 are communicated through an intermediate communication channel. In addition, in the present embodiment, the intermediate cavity 1111 is located on the lower valve body 40, and the second cavity 112 is located on the upper valve body 30. Therefore, the intermediate communication channel includes a first segment 102a arranged on the lower valve body 40 and a second segment 102b arranged on the upper valve body 30. The first segment 102a is in butt joint with the intermediate cavity 1111, and the second segment 102b is in butt joint with the second cavity 112, so that through the butt joint of the first segment 102a and the second segment 102b, the liquid in the intermediate cavity 1111 can flow to the second cavity 112 through the intermediate communication channel.
[0191] In the embodiment, the valve assembly 230 further comprises a first flow barrier 10 arranged in the first cavity 111 and at least partially surrounding the first plug 135 on the side close to the water inlet 116, so as to prevent the fluid flowing from the water inlet 116 to the first cavity 111 from directly impacting the first plug 135, thereby preventing the first plug 135 from being skewed or deformed due to the impact of the fluid, so as to ensure the sealing effect of the first electromagnetic flow guide unit in the first state and the second state respectively.
[0192] In the embodiment, the first flow barrier 10 extends to at least partially surround the first plug 135. Of course, it can be understood that in another possible embodiment, the first flow barrier 10 can be located only on the side of the first plug 135 close to the water inlet 116.
[0193] Similarly, in the embodiment, the valve assembly 230 further comprises a second flow barrier 20 arranged in the second cavity 112, so as to prevent the fluid flowing into the second cavity 112 from directly impacting the second plug 155, thereby preventing the second plug 155 from being skewed or deformed due to the impact of the fluid, so as to ensure the sealing effect of the second electromagnetic flow guide unit in the second state and the third state respectively.
[0194] In the embodiment, the second flow barrier 20 also extends to at least partially surround the second plug 155. Similarly, in another possible embodiment, the second flow barrier 20 is not limited to surrounding the second plug 155, but can only prevent the fluid flowing into the second cavity 112 from directly impacting the second plug 155.
[0195] Specifically, in the embodiment, the beverage machine 200 further comprises a heat preservation container 220 and a second cup 212. The first water outlet 117 is a water taking outlet, the second water outlet 118 is in communication with the heat preservation container 220, and the third water outlet 119 is in communication with the second cup 212. Thus, when the water inlet 116 is supplied with water and the first electromagnetic flow guide unit is in the first state, the first water outlet 117 is supplied with water. When the water inlet 116 is supplied with water, the first electromagnetic flow guide unit is in the second state, and the second electromagnetic flow guide unit is in the third state, the second water outlet 118 is supplied with water, and the water flowing out of the second water outlet 118 flows into the heat preservation container 220. When the water inlet 116 is supplied with water, the first electromagnetic flow guide unit is in the second state, and the second electromagnetic flow guide unit is in the fourth state, the third water outlet 119 is supplied with water, and the water flowing out of the third water outlet 119 flows into the second cup 212.
[0196] Therefore, if there is a direct drinking demand, the water entering through the water inlet 116 can flow out through the first water outlet 117 by controlling the first electromagnetic flow unit to be in the first state; if there is a demand to process tea or juice, etc. drinks, the water entering through the water inlet 116 can flow out through the third water outlet 119 by controlling the first electromagnetic flow unit to be in the second state and the second electromagnetic flow unit to be in the fourth state; if there is no direct drinking demand and no demand to process tea or juice, etc. drinks, and only the heated water needs to be stored, the water entering through the water inlet 116 can flow out through the second water outlet 118 and flow into the heat preservation container 220 for heat preservation storage by controlling the first electromagnetic flow unit to be in the second state and the second electromagnetic flow unit to be in the third state. The beverage machine provided in the embodiment utilizes the above-mentioned valve assembly, in combination with the cup assembly, the water inlet and outlet, and the heat preservation container, so that the beverage machine can provide various liquids such as pure water and drinks, and can quickly provide water at a relatively high temperature, thereby saving the time used by the user to heat water or brew drinks.
[0197] Of course, it can be understood that in another feasible embodiment, according to the positions of the heat preservation container and the cup assembly relative to the valve assembly, the correspondence between the heat preservation container, the cup assembly and the water outlet can be adjusted.
[0198] As shown in Figure 1 , Figures 14 to 23 , the beverage processing mechanism further includes a water outlet seat 400 arranged at the bottom side of the cup assembly. Specifically, the water outlet seat 400 includes a bottom frame 410, a water outlet nozzle 430, a top piece 450, and an electric drive assembly 470. The water outlet nozzle 430 is movably arranged on the bottom frame 410. The water outlet nozzle 430 is moved to switch between a first position and a second position. The top piece 450 has a first connecting portion 451 rotatably connected with the bottom frame 410, a second connecting portion 453 deviated from the first connecting portion 451, and a top portion 455 deviated from the first connecting portion 451. The top piece 450 is rotatable to switch the top portion 455 between a raised position and a fallen position. When the top portion 455 is switched from the fallen position to the raised position, the water outlet nozzle 430 is raised to the first position. The structure schematic view when the top portion 455 is in the raised position and the water outlet nozzle 430 is in the first position is shown in Figure 19 and Figure 23 . When the top portion 455 is switched from the raised position to the fallen position, the water outlet nozzle 430 can be forced to fall to the second position. The structure schematic view when the top portion 455 is in the fallen position and the water outlet nozzle 430 is in the second position is shown in Figure 15 and Figure 22 . The electric drive assembly 470 is used to drive the second connecting portion 453 of the top piece 450 to move to rotate the top piece 450 so that the top portion 455 is in the raised position.
[0199] The bottom of the cup assembly 210 is provided with a water outlet 211 which is connected with the water outlet nozzle 430. The water outlet 211 is provided with a valve core 2125. When the water outlet nozzle 430 is moved from the second position to the first position, the water outlet nozzle 430 drives the valve core 2125 to move in the first direction. After the valve core 2125 is separated from the driving force of the water outlet nozzle 430, the valve core 2125 can automatically move in the second direction. The first direction refers to the direction along the water outlet 211 and pointing to the inner cavity of the cup assembly 210. The second direction refers to the direction along the water outlet 211 and away from the inner cavity of the cup assembly 210.
[0200] Specifically, in the embodiment, the water outlet nozzle 430 drives the water outlet nozzle 430 to move from the first position to the second position in the direction along the water outlet 211 and away from the inner cavity of the cup assembly 210. When the water outlet nozzle 430 is in the first position, the valve core 2125 remains in the open state. When the water outlet nozzle 430 is in the second position, the valve core 2125 remains in the automatic closed state.
[0201] The arrangement of the water outlet seat 400 described above drives the top piece 450 to rotate through the electric drive assembly 470, and then drives the water outlet nozzle 430 to switch between the first position and the second position, so that the valve core at the water outlet of the cup assembly moves close to or away from the inner cavity of the cup assembly, and then realizes the opening or closing of the valve core, that is, the beverage machine can continuously dispense water without continuous operation of the operation button.
[0202] Of course, in another possible embodiment, if the valve core 2125 automatically remains in the open state without the action of the water outlet nozzle 430, when the water outlet nozzle 430 is in the first position, the valve core 2125 remains in the closed state. When the water outlet nozzle 430 is in the second position, the valve core 2125 remains in the automatic open state.
[0203] It should be noted that in another possible embodiment, when the water outlet nozzle is moved from the second position to the first position, the water outlet nozzle can also drive the valve core to move in the opposite direction, that is, to drive the valve core to move in the direction along the water outlet extension direction and away from the inner cavity of the beverage container. Correspondingly, the valve core can automatically move in the direction along the water outlet extension direction and pointing to the inner cavity of the beverage container after being separated from the driving force of the water outlet nozzle. Specifically, the gear and rack transmission or other transmission mechanisms can be used to make the water outlet nozzle and the valve core move in opposite directions when the water outlet nozzle drives the valve core to move.
[0204] Specifically, in the embodiment, the first connecting portion 451 and the second connecting portion 453 are respectively located at opposite ends of the top piece 450, and the top portion 455 is located between the first connecting portion 451 and the second connecting portion 453. It can be understood that in another feasible embodiment, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are not limited to being respectively located at the two ends of the top piece. Similarly, the top portion is not limited to being located between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. The rotation connection of the top piece and the chassis can be realized through the first connecting portion, and the second connecting portion of the top piece is driven to move by the electric drive assembly to make the top piece rotate to the position where the top portion is located.
[0205] In the embodiment, the rotation connection of the top piece 450 and the chassis 410 can effectively prevent the top piece 450 from deviating, so that the water outlet nozzle 430 can be more stably driven to switch between the first position and the second position. At the same time, the top portion 455 can be more accurately switched to the raised position and the back-falling position, so that when the top portion 455 is located at the raised position, the water outlet nozzle 430 can be more accurately raised to the first position, and when the top portion 455 is located at the back-falling position, the water outlet nozzle 430 can be more accurately back-fallen to the second position.
[0206] Of course, it can be understood that the beverage machine with the water outlet seat 400 has a control system, which controls the operation of the electric drive assembly 470 after receiving the water outlet instruction.
[0207] It should be noted that, in the embodiment, the top piece 450 is connected to the chassis 410 through the first connecting portion 451 and the second connecting portion 453. Figure 21 The water outlet nozzle 430 has a drainage passage 431 with two open ends. The two ends of the drainage passage 431 are respectively a first end 4311 and a fourth end 4313. The water outlet nozzle 430 is used to be connected with a cup assembly on the beverage machine, and the beverage in the cup assembly flows out of the water outlet nozzle 430. Specifically, the first end 4311 of the drainage passage 431 is connected with the cup assembly. The beverage in the cup assembly flows into the drainage passage 431 through the first end 4311 of the drainage passage 431 and flows out of the fourth end 4313 of the drainage passage 431.
[0208] In addition, it should be noted that in the embodiment, when the water outlet nozzle 430 moves from the second position to the first position, the valve core can be pushed to move, so as to change the opening and closing state of the valve core. Specifically, in the embodiment, a pushing portion 433 is arranged on the inner side wall of the drainage passage 431 of the water outlet nozzle 430, and the pushing portion 433 abuts against the valve core to push the valve core to move in the process that the water outlet nozzle 430 moves from the second position to the first position.
[0209] Optionally, in the embodiment, the pushing portion 433 is completely located in the drainage passage 431 of the water outlet nozzle. Thus, when the beverage in the cup assembly flows through the drainage passage 431 of the water outlet nozzle 430, the pushing portion 433 can play a role of drainage.
[0210] Further, the end of the pushing part 433 abutting against the valve core is spaced from the first end 4311 of the drainage channel 431, i.e. the end of the pushing part 433 close to the first end 4311 of the drainage channel 431 is spaced from the first end 4311 of the drainage channel 431. On the one hand, the liquid can flow out of the fourth end 4313 of the drainage channel 431 more smoothly; on the other hand, the beverage flowing into the drainage channel 431 can be prevented from flowing out of the first end 4311 of the drainage channel 431, thereby preventing the electrically driven assembly and other structures arranged on the water outlet base 400 from being affected by moisture, and preventing the beverage from adhering to the top piece and the chassis and affecting the cleaning of the top piece and the chassis, and preventing the breeding of bacteria.
[0211] In addition, in the present embodiment, two pushing parts 433 are arranged in the drainage channel 431 and spaced along the circumference of the drainage channel 431. Thus, the hydraulic pressure of the beverage flowing into the drainage channel 431 of the water outlet nozzle 430 can be balanced to some extent, and the beverage can flow out of the fourth end 4313 of the drainage channel 431 more smoothly.
[0212] In the present embodiment, the two pushing parts 433 are identical in structure and size, and are arranged relative to the axis of the drainage channel 431, so that the axial force of the valve core can be balanced when the valve core is pushed to move, i.e. the phenomenon of unilateral force concentration of the valve core can be avoided. It can be understood that in another two possible embodiments, the number of pushing parts in the drainage channel is not limited to two. The size and shape of different pushing parts can be different, and the spacing between adjacent pushing parts can be the same or different.
[0213] Of course, in another possible embodiment, the pushing part can also be arranged on the outside or end of the water outlet nozzle, which can push the valve core to move. Alternatively, the end of the water outlet nozzle can also directly push the valve core to move.
[0214] Of course, in another possible embodiment, the valve core can also be driven to move reversely by moving the water outlet nozzle 430, such as by arranging a gear transmission mechanism between the water outlet nozzle and the valve core.
[0215] In the present embodiment, the movement of the valve core at the water outlet of the cup body assembly is directly controlled by the movement of the water outlet nozzle 430, avoiding the use of other elements, so that the structure of the water outlet base 400 is simpler.
[0216] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first connecting part 451 and the second connecting part 453 of the top piece 450 are relatively fixed. The first connecting part 451 of the top piece 450 is relative to the first axis a about which the second connecting part 453 of the top piece 450 is driven by the electrically driven assembly 470 to rotate, so that the top piece 450 rotates about the first axis a.
[0217] More specifically, in the embodiment, the first connecting portion 451 and the second connecting portion 453 of the top piece 450 are both tilted relative to the top portion 455. Of course, in another possible embodiment, the first connecting portion 451 and the second connecting portion 453 of the top piece 450 are not limited to being tilted relative to the top portion 455. The structure of the top piece 450 can be in any regular or irregular shape, as long as the electric drive assembly 470 can drive the second connecting portion 453 to move so that the top piece 450 can rotate.
[0218] Of course, in another possible embodiment, if the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion of the top piece are not fixed relative to each other, the way in which the second connecting portion of the top piece moves under the drive of the electric drive assembly is no longer rotating around the first axis.
[0219] In the embodiment, the electric drive assembly 470 includes a rotating piece 471 rotatably arranged on the chassis 410 and a motor 473 configured to drive the rotating piece 471 to rotate. The rotating piece 471 rotates to drive the second connecting portion 453 of the top piece 450 to move, thereby driving the top piece 450 to rotate, until the top portion 455 is located at the tilted-up position.
[0220] Specifically, the rotating piece 471 abuts against the second connecting portion 453 of the top piece 450. The surface of the rotating piece 471 that abuts against the top piece 450 has a protrusion 4711. The rotating piece 471 rotates so that the top end of the protrusion 4711 abuts against or is separated from the second connecting portion 453 of the top piece 450. It can be understood that when the top end of the protrusion 4711 abuts against the second connecting portion 453 of the top piece 450, the second connecting portion 453 of the top piece 450 reaches the highest position of being tilted up, so that the top piece 450 remains at the tilted-up position. Correspondingly, when the second connecting portion 453 of the top piece 450 is separated from the top end of the protrusion 4711, the top piece 450 can be switched from the tilted-up position to the tilted-down position under the action of an external force.
[0221] In the embodiment, the surface of the rotating piece 471 that abuts against the top piece 450 has a recess 4713 where the protrusion 4711 is not arranged; and the surface of the top piece 450 close to the rotating piece 471 is provided with an abutting protrusion 454. The rotating piece 471 rotates so that the protrusion 4711 abuts against or is separated from the abutting protrusion 454. After the abutting protrusion 454 is separated from the protrusion 4711, the abutting protrusion 454 can be forced to move to the recess 4713 so that the top portion 455 is located at the tilted-down position. Specifically, the abutting protrusion 454 can be forced to move to abut against the bottom end of the recess 4713. Therefore, the top end of the protrusion 4711 and the bottom end of the recess 4713 can alternately abut against the abutting protrusion 454, so that the top portion 455 can be more accurately located at the tilted-up position or the tilted-down position, and correspondingly, the outlet spout 430 can be more accurately located at the first position or the second position, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the movement of the outlet spout 430, and better ensuring that the valve core can better remain in the open or closed state.
[0222] In the embodiment, the rotating member 471 is provided with two protrusions 4711 and two recesses 4713, and the protrusions 4711 and the recesses 4713 are arranged in a spaced annular manner around the rotation axis of the rotating member 471. Thus, the top part can be switched between the lifting position and the falling position during the rotation of the rotating member 471.
[0223] In the embodiment, the center of the protrusion 4711 and the perpendicular line of the rotation axis of the rotating member 471 are perpendicular to the adjacent recess 4713 and the perpendicular line of the rotation axis of the rotating member 471. Thus, the top part can be switched from the lifting position to the falling position or from the falling position to the lifting position every 90° of the rotation of the rotating member.
[0224] In the embodiment, the protrusion 4711 and the recess 4713 are smoothly transitioned, so that the top part can be more stably switched between the lifting position and the falling position, and thus the spool can be more smoothly switched between the opening and the closing.
[0225] Of course, it can be understood that in another feasible embodiment, after the abutting protrusion part is separated from the top end of the protrusion, the abutting protrusion part 454 can be forced to move to the falling position of the top part 455 in the recess 4713, and the abutting protrusion part can also be forced to abut only with the opposite two side walls of the adjacent two protrusions, without abutting with the bottom end of the recess.
[0226] In the embodiment, when the rotating member 471 rotates in the preset path, the top end of the protrusion 4711 can keep abutting with the top piece 450, and the top part 455 can keep in the lifting position, so that the rotating member 471 rotates to any position in the preset path, and the top part 455 can keep in the lifting position, reducing the requirement for the rotation accuracy of the rotating member 471.
[0227] Specifically, the top end of the protrusion 4711 can be set as a plane, and the top part 455 keeps in the lifting position when the top piece 450 abuts with the plane. And / or, the surface of the second connecting part 453 of the top piece 450 abutting with the top end of the protrusion 4711 can be set as a plane, and the top part 455 keeps in the lifting position when the top end of the protrusion 4711 abuts with the plane.
[0228] Of course, it can be understood that in another possible embodiment, the protrusion can also be arranged on the surface of the second connecting portion of the top piece abutting against the rotating piece. The top end of the protrusion is in abutment or disengagement with the rotating piece through the rotation of the rotating piece, and the rotation of the rotating piece also drives the top of the top piece to switch between the jacking position and the falling position. Further, the abutting protrusion can also be arranged on the adapter, and the abutting protrusion on the adapter is in abutment or disengagement with the top end of the protrusion on the second connecting portion of the top piece through the rotation of the rotating piece, so that the rotation of the rotating piece drives the top of the top piece to switch between the jacking position and the falling position.
[0229] In the present application, the rotating piece 471 is directly connected with the output shaft of the motor 473, i.e., the motor 473 directly drives the rotating piece 471 to rotate. Of course, it can be understood that in another possible embodiment, a transmission mechanism can also be arranged between the motor 473 and the rotating piece 471, i.e., the motor 473 drives the rotating piece 471 to rotate through the transmission mechanism.
[0230] In the present embodiment, the rotation axis of the rotating piece 471 is parallel to the moving direction of the water outlet nozzle 430. It can be understood that in another possible embodiment, the rotation axis of the rotating piece 471 can also be not parallel to the moving direction of the water outlet nozzle 430, as long as the second connecting portion 453 of the top piece 450 can be driven to move.
[0231] In the present embodiment, the surface of the rotating piece 471 abutting against the second connecting portion 453 of the top piece 450 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotating piece 471. In another possible embodiment, the surface of the rotating piece 471 abutting against the second connecting portion 453 of the top piece 450 can also be parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating piece 471, or be another regular or irregular surface of the rotating shaft, as long as the second connecting portion 453 of the top piece 450 can be driven to move to enable the top 455 to switch between the jacking position and the falling position.
[0232] In the present embodiment, the rotating piece 471 is in a cylindrical shape. It can be understood that in another possible embodiment, the rotating piece 471 is not limited to be in a cylindrical shape, but can also be in any other regular or irregular shape, as long as it can rotate to drive the second connecting portion 453 of the top piece 450 to move.
[0233] In this embodiment, the top 455 is provided with a through hole 4551, and the water outlet 430 passes through the through hole 4551. A limiting member 435 is provided on the outer side wall of the water outlet 430. When the top 455 switches from the lowered position to the raised position, the top 455 abuts against the limiting member 435 to drive the water outlet 430 to move from the second position to the first position. That is, the top 455 drives the water outlet 430 to move through the limiting member 435. The water outlet 430 passes through the through hole 4551, so that the water outlet 430 occupies less space outside the base frame 410, thereby reducing the volume of the water outlet base 400 and meeting the miniaturization requirements of the water outlet base 400.
[0234] In addition, the water outlet 430 is inserted into the through hole 4551, thereby setting a limiting member 435 on the outer wall of the water outlet 430 and making the top 455 abut against the limiting member 435, which facilitates the movement of the water outlet 430 and has a simple structure.
[0235] Understandably, the top member 450 rotates to drive the water outlet 430 to move. During the rotation of the top member 450, the angle between the depth direction of the through hole 4551 and the direction of movement of the water outlet 430 continuously changes. Specifically, in this embodiment, the depth direction of the through hole 4551 is the direction of extension of the inner wall of the through hole 4551, i.e. Figure 17 The PP direction is shown. When the top 455 of the top member 450 is in the lowered position, the depth direction of the through hole 15551 is the same as the moving direction of the outlet 430. When the top 455 of the top member 450 changes from the lowered position to the raised position, the top member 450 rotates, so the inner wall of the through hole 4551 also rotates accordingly, and thus the depth direction of the through hole 4551 also rotates accordingly, while the moving direction of the outlet 430 remains unchanged. Therefore, the angle between the depth direction of the through hole 4551 and the moving direction of the outlet 430 changes. Thus, during the rotation of the top member 450, the angle between the depth direction of the through hole 4551 and the moving direction of the outlet 430 is constantly changing. Furthermore, as the top member 450 rotates, the inner wall of the through hole 4551 also rotates accordingly, while the direction of the outer wall of the outlet 430 does not change. Therefore, as the top member 450 rotates, the angle between the inner wall of the through hole 4551 and the outer wall of the spout 430 changes. Thus, there needs to be space between the spout 430 and the inner wall of the through hole 4551 to allow for relative change in the inner wall of the through hole 4551 relative to the outer wall of the spout 430. In other words, there is a gap between the spout 430 and the inner wall of the through hole 4551 to allow the top member 450 to rotate.
[0236] In this embodiment, the via hole 4551 is a waist-shaped hole. On the one hand, the change of the angle between the depth direction of the via hole 4551 and the moving direction of the water outlet nozzle 430 can be realized; on the other hand, the strength of the top piece 450 can be prevented from being reduced due to the large via hole 4551; and on the other hand, the shape of the via hole 4551 is regular, which is convenient for processing. Of course, in another feasible embodiment, the via hole is not limited to the waist-shaped hole, and can be any other regular or irregular shape, as long as the change of the angle between the depth direction of the via hole and the moving direction of the water outlet nozzle can be realized.
[0237] In this embodiment, two limiting pieces 435 are symmetrically arranged on the water outlet nozzle 430, so as to avoid the phenomenon that the water outlet nozzle 430 is inclined due to the single-sided arrangement of the limiting piece 435, and also avoid the damage of the water outlet nozzle 430 due to the single-sided stress concentration. Of course, it can be understood that in another feasible embodiment, the water outlet nozzle 430 is not limited to be provided with two limiting pieces 435, and can be provided with one or more than two limiting pieces 435. In addition, in this embodiment, the limiting piece 435 is in the form of a plate, and the direction of the plate is along the radial direction of the water outlet nozzle 430. In another feasible embodiment, the shape of the limiting piece 435 is not limited to the plate shape, and can be any other regular or irregular shape, such as a ring shape, a cylindrical shape, etc.
[0238] In this embodiment, the water outlet nozzle 430 is detachably arranged on the chassis 410, so as to facilitate the cleaning of the water outlet nozzle 430 and the replacement of the water outlet nozzle 430. In addition, when the water outlet seat is connected with the cup body assembly, the water outlet valve can be opened, so that the liquid in the cup body assembly can flow from the water outlet of the cup body assembly to the water outlet nozzle 430. It can be understood that the water outlet nozzle 430 is mounted on the chassis 410, and the water outlet nozzle is connected with the water outlet of the cup body assembly. That is, the two ends of the water outlet nozzle 430 are respectively the chassis 410 and the cup body assembly. Therefore, in order to realize the detachable connection between the water outlet nozzle 430 and the chassis 410, the water outlet seat 400 and the cup body assembly must be detachably connected. Thus, the cleaning of the cup body assembly is facilitated. In the cleaning process of the cup body assembly, the running of the electric drive assembly and the like on the water outlet seat 400 can be avoided from being affected by the water splashing on the water outlet seat 400, and the chassis 410 and the like of the water outlet seat 400 can also be prevented from breeding bacteria in a humid environment, so as to ensure that the water flowing out of the water outlet seat 400 is safer and healthier. After the liquid in the cup body assembly flows out through the water outlet nozzle 430, it can directly flow into a drinking container. That is, the entire flow path of the beverage in the cup body assembly can flow out through the water outlet nozzle, and the water outlet nozzle is detachable, so that all the components contacted by the beverage can be cleaned, which is safe and healthy.
[0239] Specifically, in the embodiment, the bottom frame 410 is provided with a cup assembly mounting member 411, and the cup assembly mounting member 411 is provided with a mounting hole 413 matched with the water outlet nozzle 430. The water outlet nozzle 430 is detachably inserted into the mounting hole 413. More specifically, in the embodiment, the bottom frame 410 includes a containing space below the cup assembly mounting member 411, and the top piece 450 and the rotating piece 471 are arranged in the containing space to protect the top piece 450 and the rotating piece 471 from being eroded by the external environment.
[0240] More specifically, in the embodiment, the limiting piece 435 is provided with an anti-disengagement part 436 to prevent the water outlet nozzle 430 from sliding off the bottom frame 410. After the water outlet nozzle 430 is inserted into the mounting hole 413, the anti-disengagement part 436 is located between the cup assembly mounting member 411 and the top piece 450, and the anti-disengagement part 436 is blocked by the cup assembly mounting member 411 to prevent the water outlet nozzle 430 from disengaging. It can be understood that when the water outlet nozzle 430 is inserted into the mounting hole 413, the part of the water outlet nozzle 430 around the anti-disengagement part 436 is slightly deformed, or the inner wall of the mounting hole 413 of the cup assembly mounting member 411 is slightly deformed, so that the water outlet nozzle 430 can be inserted into the mounting hole 413. When the water outlet nozzle 430 is pulled out of the mounting hole 413, the part of the water outlet nozzle 430 around the anti-disengagement part 436 is slightly deformed, or the inner wall of the mounting hole 413 of the cup assembly mounting member 411 is slightly deformed, so that the water outlet nozzle 430 can be pulled out of the mounting hole 413, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the water outlet nozzle 430 and the bottom frame 410.
[0241] Specifically, in the embodiment, each limiting piece 435 is provided with one anti-disengagement part 436 on each of the two opposite outer surfaces, and the anti-disengagement part 436 is a protruding point. It can be understood that in another possible embodiment, the number and shape of the anti-disengagement part 436 on each limiting piece 435 are not limited, that is, each limiting piece 435 can be provided with one or more than two anti-disengagement parts 436, and the anti-disengagement part 436 can also have a regular or irregular shape such as a columnar shape.
[0242] In the embodiment, the second connecting part 453 of the top piece 450 is driven to rotate by the electric driving assembly 470, so that the top part 455 is switched from the falling-back position to the jacked-up position. The top part 455 is switched from the jacked-up position to the falling-back position by the gravity of the top piece 450 itself and the pressure applied by the water outlet nozzle 430 on the top piece 450. Of course, in another possible embodiment, during the rotation of the second connecting part, the top piece can also be switched from the jacked-up position to the falling-back position only under the action of its own gravity.
[0243] Alternatively, in another possible implementation, the second connecting portion of the top piece 450 can be driven to rotate by the electric drive assembly, so as to switch the top between the falling position and the lifting position. The second connecting portion of the top piece is driven to reciprocate by the electric drive assembly, so as to switch the top between the falling position and the lifting position.
[0244] In the embodiment, the bottom frame 410 is provided with a cup assembly recognition mechanism 490 for recognizing whether the cup assembly is installed in place. Specifically, the cup assembly recognition mechanism 490 includes a movable trigger provided on the bottom frame 410 and a trigger switch provided on the bottom frame 410. The trigger can be driven to move when the cup assembly is installed, and the cup assembly drives the trigger to move to a position for triggering the trigger switch when the cup assembly is installed in place. After the trigger switch is triggered, the electric drive assembly 470 can operate under the control of the control system, so as to avoid the phenomenon that the electric drive assembly 470 starts to operate when the cup assembly is not installed or the cup assembly is not installed in place. Also, it avoids the phenomenon that the beverage in the cup assembly cannot flow out along the drainage channel 431 of the water outlet nozzle 430 after the beverage in the cup assembly flows out due to the cup assembly not being installed in place, and also avoids the phenomenon that the beverage in the cup assembly flows to other positions of the water outlet seat 400, which causes the electric drive assembly 470 and the like to be damaged due to being wet.
[0245] It should be noted that, in another possible implementation, the structure of the cup assembly recognition mechanism 490 is not limited to this, and can also be an infrared sensor or the like structure that can detect whether the cup assembly is installed in place.
[0246] Alternatively, in another possible implementation, the bottom frame is provided with a reset member for driving the top piece to rotate after the second connecting portion of the top piece is separated from the protrusion, so as to switch the top to the falling position. Specifically, the reset member can drive the top piece to rotate after the second connecting portion of the top piece is completely separated from the protrusion, or can drive the top piece to rotate after the second connecting portion of the top piece is separated from the top end of the protrusion.
[0247] Alternatively, the reset member is connected with the second connecting portion of the top piece, so that the reset member can apply a force to the second connecting portion of the top piece, so as to switch and keep the top of the top piece in the falling position. Of course, in another possible implementation, the reset member can also be connected with any position between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion of the top piece, and the reset force applied to the top piece by the reset member can drive the top piece to rotate, so as to switch and keep the top in the falling position.
[0248] Alternatively, in another possible implementation, the structure of the electric drive assembly is not limited to the above structure. For example, in another possible implementation, the electric drive assembly includes a movable moving member provided on the bottom frame and a motor for driving the moving member to move, and the moving member moves to drive the second connecting portion of the top piece to move.
[0249] Specifically, the moving member can be driven to move reciprocally by the motor, and the moving member moves to drive the second connecting portion of the top member to move. In one possible implementation, for the top member 450 shown, the top member 450 can be switched between the top-up position and the back-down position by driving the moving member to alternately abut against and separate from the second connecting portion of the top member in a direction parallel to the length direction of the top member 450. In another possible implementation, the moving member can be provided with protrusions and recesses, and the moving member can be driven to move such that the top end of the protrusion and the bottom end of the recess alternately abut against the second connecting portion of the top member to drive the second connecting portion of the top member to move. Further, the protrusions and the recesses can be arranged in a direction parallel to the length direction of the top member 450. Figure 17
[0250] In this embodiment, the water outlet nozzle 430 and the valve core 2125 are independently provided and abut against each other. It can be understood that, in another possible embodiment, the water outlet nozzle and the valve core can be integrally formed, or the water outlet nozzle can be directly provided with a structure such that the water outlet nozzle has an opening and closing state of the valve core to control whether the liquid in the cup assembly 210 flows out.
[0251] In this embodiment, the water outlet nozzle 430 drives the valve core 2125 to move in the same direction during the movement of the water outlet nozzle 430 from the second position to the first position.
[0252] It should be noted that, in another possible embodiment, the water outlet nozzle can also drive the valve core to move in the opposite direction when the water outlet nozzle moves from the second position to the first position, i.e., the water outlet nozzle drives the valve core to move in a direction along the extension direction of the water outlet and away from the inner cavity of the cup assembly. Correspondingly, after the valve core is separated from the driving force of the water outlet nozzle, the valve core can automatically move in a direction along the extension direction of the water outlet and pointing to the inner cavity of the cup assembly. Specifically, the water outlet nozzle and the valve core can be driven to move in opposite directions by a gear and rack transmission mechanism or the like.
[0253] For example, in one possible embodiment, the valve core is entirely arranged outside the cup assembly. When not driven by the water outlet nozzle, the valve core automatically seals and abuts against the side wall of the water outlet of the cup assembly or the outer surface of the bottom wall of the cup assembly, and the abutment position surrounds the water outlet, thereby sealing the water outlet of the cup assembly, i.e., the valve core is closed. When the water outlet nozzle moves from the second position to the first position, the valve core is driven to move in a direction along the extension direction of the water outlet and away from the inner cavity of the cup assembly, so that the valve core is separated from the cup assembly, and thus the liquid in the cup assembly can flow out through the water outlet, i.e., the valve core is opened.
[0254] Referring to Figures 24 to 27 In the embodiment, the beverage machine 200 further comprises the water collecting assembly 1 with a heat preservation effect. It can be understood that conventionally, the water collecting assembly is used to receive a water cup or other container and fluid spilled from the water outlet of the beverage machine. In the embodiment, the water collecting assembly 1 further has a heat preservation effect, so the water collecting assembly 1 can also heat and preserve the water cup or other container placed on the water collecting assembly, so as to avoid the temperature of the fluid in the water cup or other heat-conducting container from rapidly dropping. Thus, the water collecting assembly 1 has both the functions of heat preservation and water collection.
[0255] In addition, since the water collecting cavity 1011 is sealed and isolated from the mounting cavity 1013, the fluid can be prevented from flowing into the mounting cavity 1013 by mistake, so as to avoid the heat generating assembly 102 in the mounting cavity 1013 from being dampened, thereby reducing the service life or heating effect of the heat generating assembly 102, and the water and electricity are separated, thereby avoiding the risk of short circuit and electric shock.
[0256] Specifically, in the embodiment, the water collecting assembly 1 comprises the water collecting box 101 and the heat generating assembly 102. The water collecting box 101 has the water collecting cavity 1011 and the mounting cavity 1013 which is arranged in a sealed and isolated manner with the water collecting cavity 1011. The heat generating assembly 102 is arranged in the mounting cavity 1013. The heat generating assembly 102 generates heat to transfer the heat generated by the heat generating assembly 102 to the water cup or other container placed on the water collecting assembly 1, so as to avoid the temperature of the fluid in the water cup or other heat-conducting container from rapidly dropping.
[0257] Further, in an available embodiment, the heat generating assembly has a pin which is in sealed connection with the mounting cavity. It can be understood that the pin on the heat generating assembly is used to be directly or indirectly connected with the power supply, so that the heat generating assembly can generate heat when powered on. The pin of the heat generating assembly is in sealed connection with the mounting cavity, that is, a sealing structure is arranged around the pin to seal and isolate the heat generating assembly from other spaces in the mounting cavity. Thus, even if fluid enters the mounting cavity, the fluid can be better prevented from contacting the pin, thereby effectively avoiding the risk of short circuit of the internal circuit of the heat generating assembly.
[0258] Optionally, in an available embodiment, a sealing isolation sleeve is arranged on the heat generating assembly, the sealing isolation sleeve is sleeved on the pin, and the sealing isolation sleeve seals and isolates the pin of the heat generating assembly from the mounting cavity. Specifically, the sealing isolation sleeve can be a rubber sleeve or the like.
[0259] Optionally, in another available embodiment, the heat generating assembly comprises a heat generating body, the pin is electrically connected with the heat generating body, and a pin isolation ring for sealing and isolating the pin from the mounting cavity is arranged on the heat generating body. The pin isolation ring is arranged around the pin. One end or the outer side wall of the pin isolation ring is in sealed connection with the mounting cavity, and the pin isolation ring seals and isolates the pin from the mounting cavity.
[0260] In the embodiment, the water collecting assembly 1 further comprises a heat preservation placement table 103. The heat preservation placement table 103 is arranged on the water collecting box 101 and is in thermal contact with the heating assembly 102. Thus, a cup or other container can be placed on the heat preservation placement table 103 to avoid direct contact between the cup or other container and the heating assembly, thereby avoiding the fluid spilled from the cup or other container from falling directly on the heating assembly, so as to reduce the probability of the heating assembly 102 being wet, thereby increasing the service life of the heating assembly 102.
[0261] In the embodiment, the water collecting box 101 has an inner cavity 1012. The inner cavity 1012 of the water collecting box 101 is provided with a partition wall 1014. The partition wall 1014 divides the inner cavity 1012 of the water collecting box 101 into a water collecting cavity 1011 and a mounting cavity 1013.
[0262] More specifically, in the embodiment, the mounting cavity 1013 is surrounded by the water collecting cavity 1011. It can be understood that in another feasible embodiment, the mounting cavity 1013 and the water collecting cavity 1011 can also be arranged adjacent to each other, or the mounting cavity 1013 and the water collecting cavity 1011 are arranged separately.
[0263] In the embodiment, the mounting cavity 1013 has a top wall and a bottom wall. The heating assembly 102 is arranged on the top wall of the mounting cavity 1013 and is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 1013. The heating assembly 102 is arranged on the top wall of the mounting cavity 1013, so that the heating assembly 102 is closer to the heat preservation placement table 103, thereby better and faster transferring the heat emitted by the heating assembly 102 to the heat preservation placement table 103. The heating assembly 102 is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 1013. Therefore, even if the water collecting assembly 1 is damaged and fluid such as water enters the mounting cavity 1013, the heating assembly 102 can be prevented from being directly contacted with the fluid due to the spacing between the heating assembly 102 and the bottom wall of the mounting cavity 1013, thereby avoiding the heating assembly 102 from being wet and the risk of short circuit and electric shock to a certain extent.
[0264] Further, in the embodiment, the top wall of the mounting cavity 1013 completely covers the heating assembly 102, and the top wall of the mounting cavity 1013 has no gap. Thus, the fluid flowing into the mounting cavity 1013 can be prevented from falling on the heating assembly 102, thereby avoiding the heating assembly 102 from being wet to a certain extent.
[0265] Further, in the embodiment, the heat insulation placing table 103, the isolation wall 1014 and the cavity wall of the inner cavity 1012 of the water collecting box 101 form the mounting cavity 1013; the surface of the heat insulation placing table 103 forming the mounting cavity 1013 constitutes the top wall of the mounting cavity 1013. In other words, the heat generating component 102 is directly arranged on the heat insulation placing table 103, and the heat generating component 102 directly contacts the heat insulation placing table 103, so that the heat generated by the heat generating component 102 can be more quickly transmitted to the heat insulation placing table 103.
[0266] In the embodiment, the isolation wall 1014 is in the shape of a ring column. A sealing member is arranged between the heat insulation placing table 103 and the isolation wall 1014 to realize the sealed butt joint of the heat insulation placing table 103 and the isolation wall 1014. Specifically, in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the sealing member, the cross section of the sealing member has a slot 1041, and the end of the isolation wall 1014 close to the heat insulation placing table 103 matches the slot 1041 and is inserted into the slot 1041.
[0267] In the embodiment, the sealing member is a U-shaped sealing ring, and the upper end of the U-shaped sealing ring is fixed to the surface of the heat insulation placing table 103 forming the mounting cavity 1013. The fixing mode can be adhesion or other modes, which is not limited in the embodiment. Optionally, the width of the slot 1041 of the sealing member can be slightly smaller than the width of the isolation wall 1014, so that the sealing member can be more closely attached to the isolation wall 1014 to improve the sealing performance of the connection between the heat insulation placing table 103 and the isolation wall 1014, thereby avoiding the fluid flowing into the mounting cavity 1013 through the joint position of the isolation wall 1014 and the heat insulation placing table 103.
[0268] Referring to Figure 25 In the embodiment, the water collecting box 101 is provided with a through slot 105 communicating with the outside and the mounting cavity 1013, and the heat insulation placing table 103 is arranged in the through slot 105, so as to realize the sealed connection of the heat insulation placing table 103 and the isolation wall 1014, and make the heat insulation placing table 103 exposed to realize the placement of the cup or other vessels.
[0269] Further, in the embodiment, the heat insulation placing table 103 has a placing surface, and the placing surface of the heat insulation placing table 103 is lower than the surface of the water collecting box 101 provided with the through slot 105, so that the cup or other vessels can be placed on the heat insulation placing table 103 while being embedded in the through slot 105, thereby the position of the cup or other vessels can be limited by the through slot 105.
[0270] In the embodiment, the water collecting box 101 is fixedly provided with a plug 106 electrically connected with the heating assembly 102. The beverage machine 200 further comprises a socket 107 matched with the plug 106. The plug 106 is detachably connected with the socket 107. Thus, the water collecting assembly 1 can be conveniently detached, and the fluid collected in the water collecting box 101 can be conveniently discharged. In addition, the connection of the plug 106 and the socket 107 can also ensure the phase position relationship between the water collecting assembly 1 and other structures of the beverage machine 200 to some extent, avoid the arbitrary movement of the water collecting assembly 1, and thus ensure the stability of the cup or other container placed on the water collecting box 101, and also avoid the phenomenon of fluid leakage due to the deviation of the position of the cup or other container placed on the water collecting box 101.
[0271] Specifically, in the embodiment, the sidewall of the water collecting box 101 is provided with a connecting channel 108, and the plug 106 is fixedly arranged in the connecting channel 108. Thus, the fluid can be prevented from leaking outside and falling on the plug 106, and the short circuit phenomenon can be avoided, and the arbitrary movement of the water collecting assembly 1 can also be avoided.
[0272] Optionally, in a feasible embodiment, the beverage machine further comprises a power adapter matched with the plug. Thus, the water collecting assembly can be moved to any position as needed, and the cup or container placed on the heat preservation placement table can be conveniently taken nearby. On the one hand, even if the cup or container is moved to another place, the cup or container can still be placed on the water collecting assembly by moving the water collecting assembly at the same time, so that the fluid spilled from the cup or container due to tilting or the like can be collected by the water collecting assembly; on the other hand, the power adapter is arranged, so that even if the water collecting assembly is moved to another place, the electrical connection between the water collecting assembly and the power supply can be realized by the power adapter, that is, the heating assembly can be enabled to work, the heat preservation effect can be realized, and the user experience effect can be improved.
[0273] Referring to Figure 28 and Figure 29 , in the embodiment, the water purifying tank 204 has a closed water purifying cavity 2041. The water outlet device 201 has a water outlet channel 2011. The beverage machine 200 further comprises a first air guide pipe 2042 in sealed communication with the water purifying cavity 2041 and the water outlet channel 2011 respectively. The first air guide pipe 2042 can guide the steam flowing through the water outlet channel 2011 of the water outlet device 201 to the water purifying cavity 2041, so as to increase the air pressure in the water purifying tank 204, to avoid the negative pressure in the water purifying tank 204 and the phenomenon of not easy to pump out. The water outlet channel 2011 is in communication with the atmosphere, and the first air guide pipe 2042 is in communication with the water purifying tank 204. When the pressure in the water purifying tank 204 is greater than the atmospheric pressure, the air pressure in the water purifying tank 204 is balanced through the first air guide pipe 2042, so that the air pressure in the water purifying tank 204 is balanced.
[0274] In addition, it can be understood that the fluid flowing through the water outlet channel 2011 of the water outlet device 201 has been subjected to purification treatment, and the fluid is not in contact with the outside world during the process of flowing from the clean water cavity 2041 to the water outlet channel 2011 of the water outlet device 201, and will not be polluted by the environment. Therefore, the steam generated by the fluid is also not polluted. Therefore, balancing the air pressure in the clean water cavity 2041 by the steam flowing through the water outlet channel 2011 of the water outlet device 201 can also avoid the clean water in the clean water cavity 2041 being polluted, thereby ensuring the purity of the clean water in the clean water cavity 2041.
[0275] Furthermore, the steam in the water outlet channel 2011 is drained into the clean water cavity 2041 through the first air guide pipe 2042, thereby reducing the steam mixed in the clean water flowing out of the water outlet channel 2011 of the water outlet device 201, and further making the water flow shape of the clean water discharged by the water outlet device 201 stable, without phenomena such as swinging or splashing, which is convenient for users to use.
[0276] It can be understood that the first air guide pipe 2042 is used to drain steam, and therefore, in order to avoid the clean water in the clean water tank 204 flowing directly into the water outlet channel 2011 of the water outlet device 201 through the first air guide pipe 2042, the first air guide pipe 2042 is connected to a position close to the top end of the clean water tank 204, so as to better avoid the contact between the first air guide pipe 2042 and the clean water in the clean water tank 204.
[0277] In the embodiment, the water outlet device 201 has an exhaust interface 2013 communicating with the water outlet channel 2011, and one end of the first air guide pipe 2042 is sealingly sleeved on the exhaust interface 2013. That is, the sealing connection between the exhaust interface 2013 and the first air guide pipe 2042 realizes the sealing communication between the first air guide pipe 2042 and the water outlet channel 2011 of the water outlet device 201.
[0278] In the embodiment, the exhaust interface 2013 has an exhaust channel 2014 communicating with the water outlet channel 2011. The beverage machine 200 further comprises a bottom plate assembly 205. The exhaust channel 2014 extends in a direction perpendicular to the bottom plate assembly 205, and the exhaust channel 2014 is located at the top end of the water outlet device 201. Therefore, when the beverage machine 200 is used, the bottom plate assembly 205 is located at the lower end of the beverage machine 200, and the exhaust channel 2014 is located at the upper end of the water outlet device 201. In order to facilitate water collection, the outlet of the water outlet device 201 is located at the lower end of the water outlet device 201. The clean water flowing through the water outlet device 201 flows out of the outlet of the water outlet device 201 under the action of gravity, rather than flowing into the exhaust channel 2014, thereby avoiding the clean water in the water outlet channel 2011 of the water outlet device 201 flowing into the clean water tank 204 through the exhaust interface 2013 and the first air guide pipe 2042.
[0279] Referring to Figure 30In this embodiment, the insulated container 220 has a sealed insulated cavity. The beverage machine 200 also includes a second air guide pipe 2043, with both ends sealed and connected to the insulated cavity and the purified water cavity 2041, respectively. When purified water pumped from the purified water cavity 2041 is heated and transported to the insulated cavity, the air pressure in the insulated cavity increases, while the air pressure in the purified water cavity 2041 decreases. At this time, the second air guide pipe 2043 can balance the air pressure in the insulated cavity and the purified water cavity 2041. That is, by setting the second air guide pipe 2043, on the one hand, the phenomenon that purified water in the purified water cavity 2041 is difficult to pump out due to the decrease in air pressure can be avoided; on the other hand, the phenomenon that hot water is difficult to be transported to the insulated cavity due to the increase in air pressure can be avoided.
[0280] Similarly, it is understandable that, in order to prevent the purified water in the water purification chamber 2041 from being transported to the insulation chamber through the second air guide pipe 2043, and also to prevent the purified water in the insulation chamber from being transported to the water purification chamber 2041 through the second air guide pipe 2043, one end of the second air guide pipe 2043 is connected to the position near the top of the water purification tank 204, so as to better avoid contact between the second air guide pipe 2043 and the purified water in the water purification tank 204; the other end of the second air guide pipe 2043 is connected to the position near the top of the insulation chamber, so as to better avoid contact between the second air guide pipe 2043 and the purified water in the insulation chamber.
[0281] In this embodiment, a first air guide pipe 2042 and a second air guide pipe 2043 are simultaneously provided. Thus, when the purified water in the purified water tank 204 is pumped out and delivered to the water outlet 201, the steam flowing through the water outlet channel 2011 of the water outlet 201 can be diverted through the first air guide pipe 2042 into the purified water chamber 2041 to avoid negative pressure in the purified water tank 204, thereby achieving pressure balance in the purified water tank 204. When the purified water in the purified water tank 204 is pumped out, heated, and delivered to the insulation chamber, pressure balance can be achieved in the purified water chamber 2041 and the insulation chamber at least through the second air guide pipe 2043. If pressure balance cannot be achieved in the purified water chamber 2041 and the insulation chamber through the second air guide pipe 2043, the first air guide pipe 2042 is further used to achieve pressure balance in both the purified water chamber 2041 and the insulation chamber.
[0282] like Figure 31 and Figure 32 As shown, the second cup lid 214 includes a lid body 310 and a stop 330. The lid body 310 has a lid-fitting surface 311. The stop 330 is sealed and fitted to the lid-fitting surface 311 of the lid body 310 and extends along a portion of the edge of the lid-fitting surface 311. The stop 330 and the lid-fitting surface 311 form a flow-intercepting groove 320.
[0283] It can be understood that the lid surface 311 of the lid body 310 refers to the surface of the lid body 310 exposed to the cavity of the second cup body 212, i.e. the surface of the side of the lid body 310 close to the cavity of the second cup body 212.
[0284] When the second cup lid 214 is removed from the second cup body 212, the side of the second cup lid 214 opposite to the blocking piece 330 can be first lifted, so that the liquid condensed on the lid surface 311 can be blocked by the blocking piece 330 to flow into the flow blocking groove 320 when the liquid flows to the edge of the lid surface 311 along the inclination of the lid body 310, thereby avoiding the liquid from flowing out of the second cup body 212.
[0285] In addition, the blocking piece 330 extends along the edge of the lid surface 311, so that the area of the lid surface 311 not covered by the blocking piece 330 is all located inside the blocking piece 330, so that when the second cup lid 214 is removed from the second cup body 212, the liquid condensed on the lid surface 311 can all be blocked by the blocking piece 330 to flow into the flow blocking groove.
[0286] Furthermore, if the liquid in the second cup body 212 has a high temperature, by avoiding the liquid condensed on the lid surface 311 from flowing out of the second cup body 212, the liquid with a high temperature can be prevented from flowing out of the second cup body 212 to scald nearby people, animals, plants, etc. If the liquid in the second cup body 212 is corrosive or toxic, by avoiding the liquid condensed on the lid surface 311 from flowing out of the second cup body 212, the liquid with corrosive or toxic properties can be prevented from flowing out of the second cup body 212 to pollute the environment, and the corrosive liquid can be prevented from flowing out of the second cup body 212 to corrode surrounding objects, and the liquid with toxic properties can be prevented from flowing out of the second cup body 212 to cause poisoning when people or animals come into contact with it.
[0287] It can be understood that the blocking piece 330 is sealingly attached to the lid surface 311 of the lid body 310, so as to avoid the liquid condensed on the lid surface 311 from flowing out of the second cup body 212 from the position between the blocking piece 330 and the lid body 310. In addition, it can be understood that the blocking piece 330 is sealingly attached to the lid surface 311 of the lid body 310, so the blocking piece 330 is protruded on the lid surface 311 of the lid body 310, so that the liquid condensed on the lid surface 311 can be blocked by the blocking piece 330.
[0288] In this embodiment, the blocking piece 330 has a blocking surface 331 located inside. In other words, the blocking surface 331 of the blocking piece 330 is the surface of the blocking piece 330 used to enclose the flow blocking groove 320. The liquid condensed on the lid surface 311 flows onto the blocking surface 331 of the blocking piece 330 and is blocked.
[0289] In the embodiment, the cover body 310 and the blocking piece 330 are integrally formed. It can be understood that in another feasible embodiment, the cover body 310 and the blocking piece 330 can also be separately arranged. When assembled, the blocking piece 330 is sealed and attached to the cover surface 311 of the cover body 310.
[0290] In addition, in the embodiment, the cover body 310 and the blocking piece 330 are made of the same material. Alternatively, the cover body 310 can be a metal cover body such as a stainless steel cover body, or a plastic cover body such as a polypropylene cover body, a polycarbonate cover body, or a polyethylene plastic cover body. Correspondingly, the blocking piece 330 is formed of the same material as the cover body 310, so that the cover body 310 and the blocking piece 330 can be integrally formed. It can be understood that the cover body 310 and the blocking piece 330 are formed of plastic material, which is low in cost and easy to form.
[0291] It can be understood that in another feasible embodiment, the cover body and the blocking piece can also be made of different materials, as long as they can be sealed and attached.
[0292] Alternatively, when the cover body 310 and the blocking piece 330 are made of different materials, the cover body 310 and the blocking piece 330 are bonded, or a sealing gasket is provided between the cover body 310 and the blocking piece 330, so that the cover surface 311 of the cover body 310 is sealed and attached to the blocking piece 330.
[0293] In the embodiment, the blocking piece 330 and the cover surface 311 form a flow interception groove 320. The flow interception groove 320 is arranged around part of the edge of the cover surface 311, so that the liquid intercepted by the flow interception groove 320 can flow out of the end of the flow interception groove 320 by rotating the cover body 100. In specific operation, the end of the flow interception groove 320 can be controlled to be located at the opening of the second cup body 212, so that the liquid in the flow interception groove 320 can flow out.
[0294] In addition, in the embodiment, from the edge of the blocking surface 331 combined with the cover surface 311 to the free edge of the blocking surface 331, the blocking surface 331 gradually inclines away from the cover surface 311. Therefore, after the second cup cover 214 is arranged on the second cup body 212, the blocking surface 331 inclines to the inner cavity of the second cup body 212, so that the liquid in the flow interception groove 320 can flow into the second cup body 212 more easily.
[0295] In the embodiment, the projection of the blocking member 330 on the cover surface 311 includes a first edge 332 coinciding with a quarter edge of the cover surface 311 and a second edge 334 located in the inner region of the cover surface 311. The second edge 334 is bent at least partially towards the first edge 332. It can be understood that the blocking member 330 has an outer surface 333 located opposite to the cover surface 331. The second edge 334 is bent at least partially towards the first edge 332, so that the area of the outer surface 333 is small, and thus the liquid condensed on the blocking member 331 is less, so as to avoid the liquid flowing out of the second cup body 212 due to the condensation of a large amount of liquid on the outer surface 333. Moreover, the second edge 334 is bent at least partially towards the first edge 332, so that the blocking member 330 has a small volume, thereby saving materials.
[0296] In the embodiment, the side edge of the second cup cover 214 has a first mounting structure 313 for rotationally connecting with the second cup body 212. The blocking member 330 is located on the same side of the cover surface 311 as the first mounting structure 313. Therefore, when the second cup cover 214 is opened, the blocking member 330 naturally follows the first mounting structure 313 to be located at a lower position, so that the liquid condensed on the cover surface 311 can flow to the position pointing to the blocking member 330, and then be blocked by the blocking member 330 into the intercepting groove. Therefore, by rotationally connecting the second cup cover 214 with the second cup body 212, when the second cup cover 214 is opened, the liquid condensed on the cover surface 311 can be prevented from flowing out of the second cup body 212 due to the incorrect tilting direction of the second cup cover 214.
[0297] In the embodiment, the blocking member 330 extends along a quarter edge of the cover surface 311. It can be understood that in another feasible embodiment, the blocking member can also extend along a fifth, quarter, third, half, three-quarter or four-quarter edge of the cover surface. The longer the length of the blocking member extending along the edge of the cover surface, the longer the extension length of the intercepting groove surrounded by the blocking member and the cover surface, thereby increasing the range of the tilting direction of the cover body and facilitating the operation of the cover body. Preferably, the ratio of the extension length of the blocking member 330 to the extension length of the edge of the cover surface 311 is any ratio between one-fifth and one-half.
[0298] Furthermore, in a feasible embodiment, the blocking member can also be arranged around the cover surface. Therefore, when the cover body is opened from the second cup body 212, the cover body can be tilted in any direction, and the liquid condensed on the cover surface can be blocked by the blocking member into the intercepting groove.
[0299] In the embodiment, the tilting direction of the second cup cover 214 when being opened is ensured by the connection position of the second cup cover 214 with the second cup body 212. In another feasible embodiment, the tilting direction of the cover body can also be ensured by other ways.
[0300] like Figure 33 As shown, another embodiment of the beverage machine provided by the present invention further includes a beverage storage container 2 that can be placed on a water collection box 1. Specifically, the beverage storage container 2 includes a first cup body 21 and a first cup lid 23 that matches the first cup body 21. The first cup lid 23 has a water inlet hole 231 that communicates with the cup cavity of the first cup body 21. Beverage flowing out of the beverage processing mechanism can flow directly into the beverage storage container 2 through the water inlet hole 231. On the one hand, the first cup lid 23 can prevent dust and other environmental particles from falling into the beverage in the beverage storage container 2; on the other hand, there is no need to open or remove the first cup lid 23 when filling the beverage, making the operation simple, and there is no need to provide an operating space between the beverage processing mechanism and the beverage storage container 2 for opening or removing the first cup lid 23, thus meeting the miniaturization requirements of the beverage machine.
[0301] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features does not contradict each other, it should be considered within the scope of this specification. The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
