DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] The present invention is further illustrated by specific examples below. These examples are exemplary and are intended to illustrate the problem and explain the present invention, but are not intended to be limiting.

[0049] First, the structure of the beverage preparation station.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2The beverage making station shown includes a workbench 1, a collecting hopper 2, a container delivery component 3, a liquid food supply component 4, a solid food supply component 5 and a stirring component 6; the workbench 1 has a flat bearing surface for placing containers for drinks; the container delivery component 3 delivers the container for drinks to the workbench 1; a collecting hopper 2 is provided above the workbench 1 to collect the food into the container; the liquid food supply component 4 has a plurality of liquid inlet channels, which can selectively transport the required liquid food to the collecting hopper 2; the solid food supply component 5 has a plurality of storage bins for storing solid food, which can selectively deliver the solid food to the collecting hopper 2.

[0051] Among them, the surface of the workbench 1 is used to place containers that are about to be filled and mixed with drinks. The collecting hopper 2 is located above the workbench 1 and serves as a gathering point to receive different ingredients from the liquid food supply component 4 and the solid food supply component 5, and guide the ingredients to the container below. The container delivery component 3 automatically provides the required containers to the designated location for adding ingredients. The liquid food supply component 4 supplies the required liquid food ingredients and transports them to the collecting hopper 2. The solid food supply component 5 selectively puts the specified solid food ingredients into the container. After each food ingredient is added to the container, the stirring component 6 stirs the material in the container to ensure that the drink is evenly mixed. As a result, the beverage production station realizes a series of automated processes from container preparation, food selection and addition to the final stirring into a finished product, which greatly improves the efficiency and consistency of beverage production.

[0052] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the container delivery component 3 has a turntable unit; the turntable unit includes a fixed seat 311, a rotating table 312 rotatably mounted on the fixed seat 311, a driving element 313 mounted on the fixed seat 311 and driving the rotating table 312 to rotate, and a pushing block 314 movable relative to the fixed seat 311; the rotating table 312 has a plurality of circumferentially arranged loading positions 3121, the rotating table 312 rotates the container located on the loading position 3121 to a preset work position, and the pushing block 314 pushes the container adjacent to the workbench 1 onto the workbench 1.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, the push block 314 is located in the center of the rotating table 312 , and a push cylinder 315 is installed on the upper part of the fixed seat 311 ; the push cylinder 315 drives the push block 314 to move horizontally to push the container adjacent to the workbench 1 onto the workbench 1 .

[0054] Among them, the fixed base 311 serves as the basic structure of the entire turntable unit and remains stationary. The fixed base 311 provides a platform for installing and supporting other components (such as the turntable 312 and the driving element 313). The turntable 312 is the core moving component of the turntable unit, which rotates relative to the fixed base 311. The turntable 312 is provided with a plurality of loading positions 3121 for carrying different containers. The driving element 313 is preferably a motor, which drives the turntable 312 to rotate and bring the container on each loading position to the preset position in turn. When the turntable 312 brings the container on a certain loading position to a position close to the workbench 1, the push block 314 is actuated to push the container from the turntable to the workbench 1. The push cylinder 315 is preferably a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder.

[0055] Preferably, the rotating table 312 is annular, with a fixed table 316 in the center, and a sensor 317 is installed on the fixed table 316 to detect the container on the loading position 3121 at the front end of the push block 314. The push block 314 is located in the center of the rotating table 312 to make the overall structure more compact.

[0056] Preferably, the front end of the push block 314 has an arc-shaped recessed opening to improve the stability of the push block 314 when pushing the container.

[0057] like Figure 5 As shown, the container delivery assembly 3 also has a container supply unit; the container supply unit includes a container storage cylinder 321, a clamping mechanism 322, and a lifting cylinder 323; the container storage cylinder 321 is arranged vertically, and the container storage cylinder 321 stores containers for holding beverages; the container storage cylinder 321 has an outlet at the bottom, and a narrowed elastic constraint opening 324 is provided at the outlet end to prevent the container from falling under the action of gravity; a clamping mechanism 322 is provided below the elastic constraint opening 324 to grab the container exposed from the elastic constraint opening 324; the lifting cylinder 323 drives the clamping mechanism 322 to move vertically. A plurality of container storage cylinders 321 of different sizes can be provided to place beverage containers of different sizes, usually beverage cups.

[0058] The container storage cylinder 321 stores a plurality of containers for holding beverages. These containers are stacked together, and the bottom container is constrained by the elastic constraint opening 324 and does not fall. When a new container is needed, the lifting cylinder 323 drives the clamping mechanism 322 to move upward until the clamping mechanism 322 can contact and grasp a single container exposed from the elastic constraint opening 324. After the clamping mechanism 322 grasps the container, the lifting cylinder 323 moves downward, pulls the grasped container out of the elastic constraint opening 324, and transfers it to the loading position 3121 on the rotating table 312. The rotating table 312 is driven to rotate by the driving element 313, and the loading position 3121 on the rotating table 312 moves the container to the front end of the push block 314. The sensor 317 on the fixed table 316 detects whether there is a container on the loading position 3121 at the front end of the push block 314, thereby controlling the push cylinder 315 to move, so that the push block 314 moves horizontally. Through the above steps, the container delivery component 3 realizes the automation from container storage to accurate placement of the container on the workbench 1, preparing for the subsequent addition and mixing of ingredients.

[0059] like Figure 6 As shown, the liquid food supply assembly 4 includes a junction box 41, a plurality of junction tubes 42 connected to the junction box 41, a control valve 43 arranged on the junction tube 42 to control the junction tube 42, and a delivery pump 44 that delivers the material in the junction box 41 to the collecting hopper 2; the control valve 43 on each junction tube 42 is respectively connected to a storage tank storing different raw materials to control the preset raw materials to flow into the junction box 41 under the action of the delivery pump 44.

[0060] When the delivery pump 44 is turned on, only one of the control valves 43 will be opened at a time to ensure that a single type of liquid food is selectively delivered to the junction box 41 through the corresponding manifold 42. By accurately controlling the opening time and sequence of different control valves 43, it is possible to switch various liquid food ingredients and accurately control the added volume of each. In this way, the efficiency and accuracy of the liquid food ingredient addition process are guaranteed.

[0061] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the solid food material supply assembly 5 includes a plurality of silos 51 arranged transversely; each silo 51 has a discharge port 56 at one end and a first propulsion device 52 at the other end, and the discharge port 56 drives the scraper 53 to move transversely in the silo 51; a blocking block 54 is also provided near the discharge port 56, and the blocking block 54 is driven by a second propulsion device 55 to block the discharge port 56. Preferably, a plurality of silos 51 are arranged side by side, and the discharge ports 56 corresponding to each silo 51 are arranged directly above the collecting hopper 2; a cover plate is also provided above each silo 51 to cover the upper opening of the silo 51.

[0062] In the preparation stage of the solid food material supply assembly 5, different types of solid food materials are stored in each silo 51. The cover plate covers the opening at the top of the silo 51 to prevent foreign impurities from entering and ensure the freshness of the food materials inside. When a specific type of solid food material needs to be put into the collecting hopper 2, the second propulsion device 55 drives the blocking block 54 to move upward to release the blockage of the discharge port 56 of the corresponding silo 51, so that the solid food materials in the silo 51 can flow out through the discharge port 56. Then, the first propulsion device 52 is started to drive the scraper 53 to move horizontally inside the silo 51. The scraper 53 will push the solid food materials toward the discharge port 56 along the length direction of the silo 51, thereby controlling the amount of food materials. With the pushing action of the scraper 53, the solid food materials flow out from the discharge port 56 and fall directly into the collecting hopper 2 located below. Since the discharge ports 56 of each silo 51 are arranged directly above the collecting hopper 2, it is ensured that all solid food materials can be accurately collected in the collecting hopper 2. Once the required amount of solid food has been put in, the second propulsion device 55 is activated again to return the blocking block 54 to the initial position and re-block the discharge port 56 .

[0063] like Fig. 9 As shown, the stirring assembly 6 is installed above the workbench 1; the stirring assembly 6 includes a vertically arranged telescopic cylinder 61, a lifting block 62 driven by the telescopic cylinder 61, a stirring motor 63 installed on the lifting block 62, and a stirring paddle 64 installed at the end of the rotating shaft of the stirring motor 63; the stirring paddle 64 stirs the material in the container on the workbench 1.

[0064] After all the required liquid and solid ingredients are successfully added to the container located on the workbench 1 through the collecting hopper 2, the stirring assembly 6 is ready to start working. First, the vertically arranged telescopic cylinder 61 is started to achieve precise movement in the vertical direction. The telescopic cylinder 61 drives the lifting block 62 connected to it to move downward until the stirring motor 63 mounted on the lifting block 62 and the stirring paddle 64 connected to the end of its rotating shaft are lowered to the appropriate position inside the container. This position is preset to ensure that the stirring paddle 64 can fully contact the materials in the container, but will not touch the bottom to avoid damage. Once the stirring paddle 64 is in place, the stirring motor 63 is started. The stirring motor 63 provides power for the rotational movement, so that the stirring paddle 64 mounted on the end of its rotating shaft starts. The rotation of the stirring paddle 64 causes the liquid and solid components in the container to mix together, ensuring that all components are evenly mixed. The speed and stirring time of the stirring motor 63 can be adjusted according to the specific beverage recipe to achieve the best mixing effect. After the stirring is finished, the stirring motor 63 stops running, and the telescopic cylinder 61 moves again, lifting the lifting block 62 together with the stirring motor 63 and the stirring paddle 64 away from the container and returning to the initial position. After the stirring is completed, the container and the beverage can be removed, and the entire system can be prepared for the next round of operation.

[0065] Preferably, at least part of the surface of the workbench 1 is provided with a grid plate. If any small parts or fine ingredients fall during operation, they can fall through the gaps in the grid plate instead of being accumulated on the work surface, which reduces the trouble of cleaning and reduces the risk of these items being mixed into the drink.

[0066] The second aspect is the working method of the beverage preparation station.

[0067] PLC technology can realize intelligent monitoring of the production process of the beverage production station, ensuring the efficiency, stability and reliability of the production process.

[0068] The built-in programs of the beverage making station mainly include three modules, namely automatic beverage making module, personalized beverage customization module and manual beverage customization module.

[0069] The automatic beverage making module is when all raw materials are sufficient. The user turns on the power and turns on the switch. After waiting for initialization, it automatically detects whether the materials are sufficient. When all the current conditions are met, you can select the set beverage through the menu list. The production station will automatically make the beverage according to the set program. For example, when making milk tea, you will be prompted to take out the beverage when the milk tea is finished. After taking it out, the set production quantity will be judged again. After the production is completed, the cleaning program will be automatically executed, and finally it will return to the initial state.

[0070] The customized beverage module is in automatic mode. Adding default beverage recipes can be called in the automatic beverage making module. Under personalized customization, choose to add personalized beverages. After setting the relevant data, you can choose to automatically make a cup. The program will automatically make it directly. If it meets the expected results, you can choose to save it. Otherwise, you can modify it.

[0071] In the manual customized beverage module, you can control the production station according to the virtual buttons on the HMI screen. You can mix and match as you like and make DIY drinks. After the production is completed, click End to exit the manual mode directly. This mode can create more innovative recipes and make beverage making easier.
