[0065] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 : is a connection diagram of the controller provided in an embodiment of the present invention and other hardware devices. The controller described in the embodiment of the present invention is respectively connected to the ice maker 104, the display module 106 and the filter drive device. The controller can control the ice maker 104 to add ice cubes to the cup, control the display module to display the pre-mixed cocktail interface and verify the user's underage status, and control the filter drive device to move the filter device.

[0066] Specifically, the controller described in the embodiment of the present invention is configured to: when responding to a cocktail mixing instruction, obtain the cocktail mixing scheme in the cocktail mixing instruction, and extract a corresponding proportion of raw liquid into the container according to the raw liquid ratio in the cocktail mixing scheme; when the cocktail mixing scheme contains an ice-adding operation, send an ice-discharging instruction to the ice maker to add ice cubes in the ice storage box to the container; control the container according to the container control operation in the cocktail mixing scheme, and control the container to inject the prepared wine into the cup after the wine making is completed.

[0067] For example, see Figure 5 , Figure 5It is the first workflow diagram of the controller provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and the controller is configured to execute steps S11 to S16. The user selects a cocktail mixing scheme on the display module of the wine cabinet, and the cocktail mixing scheme includes the ratio of the stock liquid, the order of adding the stock liquid, whether ice is needed, whether filtering is needed (optional), and container control operations. The container can be a covered container or an uncovered container. After receiving the cocktail mixing scheme, the controller extracts the corresponding proportion of the stock liquid into the container according to the stock liquid ratio in the cocktail mixing scheme, and the stock liquid includes base wine, juice, beverage, etc. If the cocktail mixing scheme includes an ice-adding operation, it is necessary to send an ice-discharging instruction to the ice-making machine to add the ice cubes in the ice storage box to the container (the container can be moved to the ice-making room by a clamping arm, or moved to the ice-making room by a sliding device provided between the ice-making room and the cocktail mixing device); finally, the container is controlled according to the container control operation in the cocktail mixing scheme, and after the wine making is completed, the container is controlled to inject the prepared wine into the cup; wherein, the container control operation is implemented by the container driving device, and the operations include stationary container, inverted container (the container must be a covered container) and rotating container, etc. If there is no ice-adding operation in the cocktail mixing scheme, the container control operation is directly performed after extracting the corresponding proportion of the original liquid.

[0068] Specifically, the controller described in the embodiment of the present invention is further configured to: when it is detected that the user takes away the cup, start the self-cleaning mode of the wine cabinet to clean the wine cabinet.

[0069] For example, see Figure 6 , Figure 6 It is the second working flow diagram of the controller provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and the controller is further configured to execute steps S21 to S23. When the wine making is completed, after the container injects the prepared wine into the cup, the user can take the prepared wine from the wine outlet. When it is detected that the user has taken the cup, the self-cleaning mode of the wine cabinet is started. The self-cleaning mode includes cleaning the wine cabinet, the container used in the wine making process, and the original liquid remaining inside the wine dispensing device. If the user enters the pre-mixed wine interface during the self-cleaning mode, the user is prompted that the wine cabinet is undergoing self-cleaning, please select the prepared wine first, and then start the wine making after the self-cleaning is completed.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present invention, two ways of setting the filter device are provided. The first way is that the filter device is fixed at the wine outlet of the container; the second way is that the filter device is movably set near the wine outlet of the container, and the movement of the filter device is controlled by a filter drive device.

[0071] In the first embodiment, the filtering device is fixed at the wine outlet, and when the wine in the container is poured into the cup, the filtering device can filter out ice residues and other impurities.

[0072] In a second embodiment, the filter device is movably arranged near the wine outlet of the container. Then, the controller described in the embodiment of the present invention is further configured to: when there is a filtering operation in the cocktail mixing scheme, send a moving instruction to the filter drive device so that the filter drive device moves the filter device to the wine outlet of the container.

[0073] For example, see Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is the third workflow diagram of the controller provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and the controller is further configured to execute steps S31 to S33. When the cocktail mixing scheme selected by the user includes a filtering operation, after the container control operation is completed, the controller sends a movement instruction to the filter drive device, and the filter drive device controls the filter device to move it to the wine outlet of the container to filter the mixed wine, and the filtering operation includes filtering out the remaining ice cubes and other impurities in the mixed wine; when the cocktail mixing scheme selected by the user does not include a filtering operation, the filter device is in the default position (will not block the wine outlet of the container), and the mixed wine can be directly poured into the cup.

[0074] Specifically, the controller described in the embodiment of the present invention is also configured to: use an image recognition algorithm to identify the user image; when the user is identified as a minor, display a first prompt message; when the user is identified as an adult, jump to the pre-mixed cocktail selection interface.

[0075] For example, see Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a fourth working flow diagram of the controller provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and the controller is further configured to execute steps S41 to S45. In the embodiment of the present invention, the display module can be installed on the cabinet of the wine cabinet, can be installed in a mobile device, or can be installed in other ways.

[0076] In the first embodiment, the display module is installed on the cabinet of the wine cabinet. When a user operates the display module, the user's image is obtained through the display module, and the obtained image is identified using an image recognition algorithm. If the user is identified as an adult, the interface jumps to the pre-cocktail mixing interface, and the user can operate the cocktail mixing plan; if the user is identified as a minor, the first prompt information is displayed, suggesting that minors should not drink alcohol.

[0077] In a second embodiment, the display module is installed in a mobile device in the form of an APP. When the user selects a cocktail mixing plan in the APP, the underage verification interface is entered, and the APP obtains the user's image and uses an image recognition algorithm to identify the obtained image. If the user is identified as an adult, the interface jumps to the pre-cocktail mixing interface, and the user can operate the cocktail mixing plan; if the user is identified as a minor, the first prompt information is displayed, suggesting that minors should not drink and exiting the verification interface.

[0078] Specifically, the controller described in the embodiment of the present invention is further configured to: when responding to an instruction to add a cocktail scheme, receive the original liquid ratio, ice addition operation and container control operation information input by the user on the display module, so as to create a new cocktail scheme according to the original liquid ratio, the original liquid addition order and the container control operation information; when responding to an instruction to modify a cocktail scheme, display a target cocktail scheme on the display module, and modify the target cocktail scheme according to the modification operation input by the user on the display module.

[0079] For example, see Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 It is the fifth workflow diagram of the controller provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and the controller is also configured to execute steps S51 to S57. When the user is in the pre-cocktail mixing interface, the stored cocktail mixing schemes are displayed on the display module, and the user can choose to use the existing cocktail mixing scheme, modify the cocktail mixing scheme or create a new cocktail mixing scheme through voice input, display screen input or other methods. If the user chooses to use the existing cocktail mixing scheme, the cocktail mixing process is directly started; if the user wants to add a new cocktail mixing scheme, the new cocktail mixing information can be entered on the display module, including the stock solution ratio, the stock solution addition order, whether ice addition operation is required, whether filtering is required, container control operation, etc. The controller creates a new cocktail mixing scheme according to the cocktail mixing information entered by the user; if the user wants to modify the existing cocktail mixing scheme, first select the target cocktail mixing scheme to be modified on the display module, modify the cocktail mixing information in the target cocktail mixing scheme, and the controller starts the cocktail mixing operation according to the cocktail mixing scheme modified by the user.

[0080] Specifically, the controller described in the embodiment of the present invention is further configured to: after obtaining the cocktail mixing plan in the cocktail mixing instruction, when it is detected that the remaining amount of the original liquid corresponding to the cocktail mixing plan stored in the wine cabinet is insufficient, issue a second prompt message.

[0081] For example, see Fig.10 , Fig.10is the sixth work flow chart of the controller provided by an embodiment of the present invention, and the controller is further configured to execute steps S61 to S64. When a cocktail mixing scheme in a cocktail mixing instruction is received, the amount of stock solution required in the cocktail mixing scheme is obtained. If the remaining stock solution in the wine cabinet is insufficient, a second prompt message is issued to prompt the user that the remaining stock solution is insufficient and the automatic cocktail mixing cannot be started. If the remaining stock solution in the wine cabinet is sufficient, the corresponding proportion of stock solution is extracted into the container according to the stock solution ratio in the cocktail mixing scheme to perform the automatic cocktail mixing operation.

[0082] Compared with the prior art, the wine cabinet disclosed in the present invention obtains cocktail mixing instructions, extracts the corresponding proportion of raw liquid according to the cocktail mixing plan, adds ice cubes through an ice maker, controls the container to perform cocktail mixing and filtering operations, and performs self-cleaning after the cocktail mixing is completed. Through an image recognition algorithm, it verifies whether the user is an adult before entering the cocktail mixing function, thereby avoiding children from accidentally touching underage drinking, improving the convenience of cocktail mixing, and enhancing product intelligence and user experience.

[0083] See also Fig.11 , Fig.11 The present invention provides a flow chart of an automatic wine mixing method for a wine cabinet according to an embodiment of the present invention. The automatic wine mixing method for a wine cabinet according to an embodiment of the present invention is implemented by a controller in the wine cabinet. The wine cabinet includes a cabinet body, a wine rack, an ice-making chamber and a container. The ice-making chamber is arranged in the cabinet body. The ice-making chamber is connected to a refrigeration system. An ice-making chamber door is arranged at the opening of the ice-making chamber. An ice-making machine is detachably installed in the ice-making chamber. An ice storage box is arranged inside the ice-making machine. The container is arranged in the cabinet body and is used to mix the stock liquid to complete the wine mixing process. Then, the automatic wine mixing method for the wine cabinet includes:

[0084] S1. In response to a cocktail mixing instruction, obtaining a cocktail mixing scheme in the cocktail mixing instruction, and extracting a corresponding proportion of stock liquid into the container according to the stock liquid ratio in the cocktail mixing scheme;

[0086] S3, controlling the container according to the container control operation in the cocktail mixing scheme, and controlling the container to inject the mixed wine into the cup after the wine is made.

[0087] Specifically, after the prepared wine is poured into the cup, the method further includes: when it is detected that the user takes away the cup, starting the self-cleaning mode of the wine cabinet to clean the wine cabinet.

[0088] Exemplarily, when wine making is completed, after the container injects the prepared wine into the cup, the user can take the prepared wine from the wine outlet. When it is detected that the user has taken away the cup, the self-cleaning mode of the wine cabinet is started. The self-cleaning mode includes cleaning the wine cabinet, the containers used in the wine making process, and the original liquid remaining inside the wine dispensing device. If the user enters the pre-mixed wine interface during the self-cleaning mode, the user is prompted that the wine cabinet is undergoing self-cleaning, please select the prepared wine first, and start wine making after the self-cleaning is completed.

[0089] Specifically, the wine cabinet also includes: a filtering module, the filtering module is arranged near the wine outlet of the container, the filtering module includes a filtering device and a filtering driving device, the filtering driving device is used to drive the filtering device to move, and the filtering device is used to filter out ice cubes and other impurities in the mixed wine; then, the method also includes: when there is a filtering operation in the cocktail mixing plan, sending a moving instruction to the filtering driving device, so that the filtering driving device moves the filtering device to the wine outlet of the container.

[0090] When the cocktail mixing scheme selected by the user includes a filtering operation, after the container control operation is completed, the mixed wine is filtered, and the filtering operation includes filtering out the remaining ice cubes and other impurities in the mixed wine; when the cocktail mixing scheme selected by the user does not include a filtering operation, the mixed wine is directly poured into the cup. In the embodiment of the present invention, two ways of setting the filtering device are provided, the first is that the filtering device is fixed at the wine outlet, and the second is that the movement of the filtering device is controlled by the filtering drive device.

[0091] In the first embodiment, the filtering device is fixed at the wine outlet. If the cocktail mixing plan includes a filtering operation, the filtering device is turned on to filter the mixed wine. If the cocktail mixing plan does not include a filtering operation, the filtering device is turned off and the mixed wine is directly poured into the cup.

[0092] In a second embodiment, the movement of the filter device is controlled by the filter drive device. If the cocktail mixing plan includes a filtering operation, the controller sends a movement instruction to the filter drive device, and the filter drive device controls the filter device to move it to the wine outlet of the container to filter the mixed wine. If the cocktail mixing plan does not include a filtering operation, the mixed wine is directly injected into the cup.

[0093] Specifically, the wine cabinet also includes: a display module, which is installed on the cabinet body, and the display module is used to obtain a user image; then, after responding to a cocktail mixing instruction, the method also includes: using an image recognition algorithm to identify the user image; when the user is identified as a minor, displaying a first prompt message; when the user is identified as an adult, jumping to a pre-mixed cocktail selection interface.

[0094] For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, the display module can be installed on the cabinet of the wine cabinet, can be installed in a mobile device, or other methods can be selected.

[0095] In the first embodiment, the display module is installed on the cabinet of the wine cabinet.

If the user is identified as an adult, the interface jumps to the pre-cocktail mixing interface, and the user can operate the cocktail mixing plan; if the user is identified as a minor, the first prompt information is displayed, suggesting that minors should not drink alcohol.

[0096] In a second embodiment, the display module is installed in a mobile device in the form of an APP. When the user selects a cocktail mixing plan in the APP, the underage verification interface is entered, and the APP obtains the user's image and uses an image recognition algorithm to identify the obtained image. If the user is identified as an adult, the interface jumps to the pre-cocktail mixing interface, and the user can operate the cocktail mixing plan; if the user is identified as a minor, the first prompt information is displayed, suggesting that minors should not drink and exiting the verification interface.

[0097] Specifically, the method further includes:
