[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present invention more obvious, the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments of the present invention, and it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described herein. Based on the embodiments of the present invention described in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] To at least partially solve the above technical problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a beverage dispensing method, device, beverage machine, and storage medium.

[0026] See also Figure 1 As shown, it is a schematic flow chart of a beverage production method according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to one aspect of the present invention, a beverage production method is provided, including: a production step S110 and a parameter verification step S120.

[0027] The production step S110 includes a first single-channel production sub-step of performing single-channel production on the first target verification pipeline of the current beverage, so that the actual production volume of the first target verification pipeline reaches the corresponding preset production volume; wherein the first target verification pipeline is the target pipeline determined by the feeding operation.

[0028] Exemplarily, a beverage machine can be used to produce beverages, and the beverage can be a mixture of multiple materials, and the materials can be, for example, liquids such as drinking water, syrup, juice, and milk. The recipe of the beverage can include the type of material and the weight required for each type of material. For example, the recipe of the beverage can include: 300g material A, 80g material B, and 20g material C. The beverage machine (such as a beverage machine) can include multiple pipelines and multiple silos, each pipeline can be connected to each silo one by one, and each silo can store corresponding materials, such as drinking water, syrup, juice, milk, etc. Each pipeline of the beverage machine can be connected to a corresponding pump, and the pump can drive the material in the silo connected to the corresponding pipeline to be produced through the pipeline. The beverage machine can also include a control device, which can be communicatively connected to each pump to control the operation of the pump to control the production of the corresponding pipeline. For example, for any drink, during the process of producing the drink, if any silo storing the materials required for the drink is short of materials, it is necessary to refill the silo, and continue to produce the drink after the refilling operation. In this case, the drink where the refilling operation is performed can be recorded as the first drink, and the pipeline connected to the silo that has undergone the refilling operation can be used as the first target verification pipeline. Specifically, the current drink can be the first drink, or the current drink can also be the second drink that comes after the first drink and uses the first target verification pipeline.

[0029] Exemplarily, in the production step S110, the first target verification pipeline can be subjected to single-channel production, and the process of the first target verification pipeline conducting single-channel production can be recorded as the first single-channel production sub-step. If the current beverage is the first beverage, the first target verification pipeline can also participate in the production before the first single-channel production sub-step. In this case, the preset production amount corresponding to the first target verification pipeline in the first single-channel production sub-step can be the partial weight of the first target verification pipeline production required by the current beverage. Specifically, the control device can determine the theoretical total weight of the current beverage at each moment in the production process according to the calibration value of the driving parameters (such as speed, displacement, etc.) of the pump connected to each production pipeline, and can also determine the theoretical production amount of each production pipeline at each moment. At the moment of shortage of material, other production pipelines except the first target verification pipeline may not have completed production, or may have completed production. In the case that other production pipelines except the first target verification pipeline have not completed production and shortage of material occurs, each production pipeline suspends production. The control device can obtain the theoretical output of the first target calibration pipeline at the time of material shortage, and calculate the first weight difference between the total weight of the first target calibration pipeline required for the current beverage and the theoretical output of the first target calibration pipeline at the time of material shortage. The control device can also obtain a second weight difference by subtracting the theoretical total weight of the current beverage at the time of material shortage from the actual total weight of the current beverage obtained at the time of material shortage, and the sum of the first weight difference and the second weight difference can be recorded as the target output of the first target calibration pipeline in the first single-channel output sub-step.

[0030] In some embodiments, the current beverage is the first beverage, and the first target verification pipeline is not used for weight compensation of the current beverage. At the moment of shortage, if the other production pipelines except the first target verification pipeline have not completed production, the first single-channel production sub-step can be started after the material replenishment operation, and the actual production volume of the first target verification pipeline can be counted from zero. In this case, when the actual production volume of the first target verification pipeline reaches the target production volume, the other production pipelines except the first target verification pipeline can continue to produce according to the difference between the production parameters calculated based on the calibration values ​​of the driving parameters of the pumps connected to each production pipeline and the accumulated production parameters from the start of production of the current beverage to the moment of shortage, until the production of the current beverage is completed. It can be understood that the actual output of the first target verification pipeline can also be calculated from the actual output that has been produced before the material shortage moment (which is equal to the difference between the theoretical output of the first target verification pipeline at the material shortage moment and the second weight difference). In this case, when the actual output of the first target verification pipeline reaches the total weight of the first target verification pipeline output required for the current beverage, other output pipelines except the first target verification pipeline can continue to produce. The preset output of the first target verification pipeline in the first single-channel output sub-step can be equal to the target output. For example, all pipelines required for the current beverage are pipeline A, pipeline B and pipeline C. Pipeline B is used for weight compensation of the current beverage. When all pipelines are performing multi-channel output, pipeline A is short of material. After performing a replenishment operation on the material bin connected to pipeline A, the first single-channel output sub-step can be performed based on pipeline A until the actual output of pipeline A reaches the corresponding preset output. Pipeline B and pipeline C can be controlled to continue multi-channel output. After pipeline B and pipeline C complete multi-channel output, pipeline B performs single-channel output to complete weight compensation.

[0031] In other embodiments, the current beverage is the first beverage, and the first target calibration pipeline is used for weight compensation of the current beverage. The difference between the first target calibration pipeline and the preset compensation weight is recorded as a specific weight, and the specific weight is less than the total weight of the first target calibration pipeline required for the current beverage. At the moment of lack of material, if the other production pipelines except the first target calibration pipeline have not completed production, the first single-channel production sub-step can be started after the material replenishment operation, and the actual production volume of the first target calibration pipeline can be counted from zero. In this case, when the actual production volume of the first target calibration pipeline reaches the difference between the specific weight and the actual production volume at the moment of lack of material, the other production pipelines except the first target calibration pipeline can continue to produce according to the difference between the production parameters calculated based on the calibration values ​​of the driving parameters of the pumps connected to each production pipeline and the accumulated production parameters from the moment of starting to produce the current beverage to the moment of lack of material. When the other pipelines complete production, the actual total weight of the current beverage can be determined, and the first target calibration pipeline can be controlled to continue single-channel production until the production of the current beverage is completed. The actual output of the first target verification pipeline can also be calculated from the actual output that has been produced before the moment of shortage. In this case, when the actual output of the first target verification pipeline reaches a specific weight, other output pipelines except the first target verification pipeline can continue to produce. When other pipelines have completed production, the actual total weight of the current beverage can be determined, and the first target verification pipeline can be controlled to continue single-channel production until the production of the current beverage is completed. The difference between the specific weight and the actual output of the first target verification pipeline at the moment of shortage is recorded as a, and the difference between the target total weight of the current beverage and the actual total weight of the current beverage when other pipelines have completed production is recorded as b. The preset output of the first target verification pipeline in the first single-channel production sub-step can be equal to a+b. For example, all pipelines required for the current beverage are pipeline A, pipeline B and pipeline C. Pipeline A is used for weight compensation of the current beverage. When all pipelines are performing multi-channel output, pipeline A is short of material. Then, after performing the replenishment operation on the material bin connected to pipeline A, the first single-channel output sub-step can be performed based on pipeline A. The actual output of pipeline A is calculated from the actual output that has been produced before the moment of shortage of material. In this case, when the actual output of the first target verification pipeline reaches a specific weight, pipeline B and pipeline C can be controlled to continue multi-channel output. After pipeline B and pipeline C complete multi-channel output, pipeline A performs single-channel output to complete weight compensation. The moment when pipeline A completes weight compensation for single-channel output can be used as the completion moment of the first single-channel output sub-step.

[0032] In other embodiments, the current beverage is the first beverage, and the production pipelines other than the first target verification pipeline have completed production. In this case, the first target verification pipeline can be controlled to produce until the production of the current beverage is completed. Whether the production of the current beverage is completed can be determined in real time by obtaining the actual total weight of the current beverage in real time.

[0033] If the current drink is the second drink, in some embodiments, the first single-channel production sub-step may be started first. When the first target calibration pipeline is not used for weight compensation of the current drink, the preset production volume of the first target calibration pipeline in the first single-channel production sub-step may be equal to the total weight of the first target calibration pipeline required for the current drink. When the first target calibration pipeline can be used for weight compensation of the current drink, the difference between the total weight of the first target calibration pipeline and the preset compensation weight is recorded as c, and the difference between the target total weight of the current drink and the actual total weight of the current drink after the first target calibration pipeline performs single-channel production according to c and other production pipelines except the first target calibration pipeline complete production is recorded as d. The preset production volume of the first target calibration pipeline in the first single-channel production sub-step may be equal to c+d. In other embodiments, other pipelines except the first target calibration pipeline may be controlled to produce first, and then the first target calibration pipeline may be controlled to execute the first single-channel production sub-step. If a specific pipeline among other pipelines is used for weight compensation of the current beverage, the specific pipeline can be controlled to be produced in a single channel after the first single channel production sub-step is completed. If the first single channel production sub-step is used for weight compensation of the current beverage, the first single channel production sub-step can continue to be controlled to produce in a single channel when the actual output of the first target verification pipeline reaches the difference between the total weight and the preset compensation weight. In this case, the output speed of the first target verification pipeline in the single channel output according to the specific weight and the single channel output for weight compensation of the current beverage can be the same or different.

[0034] The "weight compensation" mentioned above can be understood as: a specific pipeline among the pipelines used to produce the current beverage can be used for single-channel production at the end, and it has a preset compensation weight. Before the specific pipeline finally performs single-channel production, it can produce according to the difference between the total weight of the specific pipeline required for the current beverage and the preset compensation weight. After other production pipelines except the specific pipeline have completed production and the specific pipeline has completed production according to the difference between the total weight of the specific pipeline required for the current beverage and the preset compensation weight, the specific pipeline can lastly perform single-channel production, and the stopping of single-channel production is determined in real time based on the actual total weight of the current beverage obtained through implementation.

[0035] It should be noted that due to errors caused by mechanical processing, material wall adhesion and other factors, in "producing according to the difference between the total weight of the specific pipeline required for the current beverage and the preset compensation weight", the actual output of the specific pipeline in this process is not necessarily equal to the difference between the total weight of the specific pipeline required for the current beverage and the preset compensation weight, and the actual output of other production pipelines is not necessarily equal to their respective theoretical outputs. Accordingly, when the specific pipeline performs single-channel production at the end, it does not produce according to the preset compensation weight, but performs single-channel production according to the actual total weight of the current beverage. Similarly, "reaching the corresponding preset output" can mean equal to the preset output, or it can mean that the difference with the preset output is within the allowable error range.

[0036] In the parameter verification step S120, when the current beverage includes a first target verification pipeline, the first production parameters of the first target verification pipeline from the triggering moment of the first single-channel production sub-step to the completion moment of the first single-channel production sub-step are accumulated; when the accumulated first production parameters meet the preset parameter verification end conditions, the first target verification pipeline is determined as a non-target verification pipeline; when the accumulated first production parameters do not meet the preset parameter verification end conditions, the first target verification pipeline is maintained as the first target verification pipeline.

[0037] Exemplarily, when the current beverage is the first beverage, the triggering moment of the first single-channel production sub-step may be the moment when the filling is completed, or the moment when the first target verification pipeline starts to produce after the filling is completed. When the current beverage is the second beverage, the triggering moment of the first single-channel production sub-step may be the moment when the current beverage starts to be produced (i.e., the moment when the actual total weight of the current beverage begins to change). For each current beverage, the completion moment of the first single-channel production sub-step is the moment when the first target verification pipeline ends production. In the time period from the triggering moment of the first single-channel production sub-step to the completion moment of the first single-channel production sub-step, the first production parameter of the first target verification pipeline may be accumulated, and the first production parameter may be the production time of the first target verification pipeline for single-channel production. It should be noted that the production time is not necessarily equal to the length of the time period from the triggering moment of the first single-channel production sub-step to the completion moment of the first single-channel production sub-step. In some embodiments, only the first single-channel production sub-step is executed within the time period. In other words, only the first target verification pipeline performs single-channel production within the time period. In this case, the production time of the first target verification pipeline can be equal to the duration of the time period. In other embodiments, other production sub-steps other than the first single-channel production sub-step can also be executed within the time period. When other production sub-steps are executed, the first single-channel production sub-step is suspended. In other words, the first target verification pipeline does not produce when other production sub-steps are executed. In this case, the production time of the first target verification pipeline is not equal to the duration of the time period. When the first production parameter is the production time of the first target verification pipeline for single-channel production, the preset parameter verification end condition can be, for example, that the accumulated production time of the first target verification pipeline for single-channel production is greater than or equal to the preset duration. The first production parameter can also be the number of revolutions of the pump connected to the first target verification pipeline. The control device can obtain and accumulate the number of revolutions of the pump in real time from the triggering moment of the first single-channel production sub-step. When the first output parameter is the number of revolutions of a pump connected to the first target verification pipeline, the preset parameter verification end condition may be, for example, that the accumulated number of revolutions of the pump is greater than or equal to the preset number of revolutions. When it is determined that the accumulated first output parameter satisfies the preset parameter verification end condition, the first target verification pipeline is determined as a non-target verification pipeline.

[0038] Exemplarily, the first beverage (first beverage) or the second beverage (first second beverage) whose production pipeline includes the first target verification pipeline is recorded as beverage P. When the current beverage is beverage P, the first production parameter of the first target verification pipeline from the triggering moment of the first single-channel production sub-step to the completion moment of the first single-channel production sub-step is accumulated, and the accumulated first production parameter can be recorded as p. If the accumulated first production parameter p does not meet the preset parameter verification end condition, the first target verification pipeline remains as the first target verification pipeline. The first beverage that adopts the first target verification pipeline after beverage P is recorded as beverage Q. When the current beverage is beverage Q, the first production parameter of the first target verification pipeline from the triggering moment of the first single-channel production sub-step to the completion moment of the first single-channel production sub-step is accumulated, and the initial value of the first production parameter of the first target verification pipeline at the triggering moment of the first single-channel production sub-step for beverage Q is p. If the first production parameter of the first target verification pipeline from the triggering moment of the first single-channel production sub-step to the completion moment of the first single-channel production sub-step is q, then the first production parameter accumulated by the first target verification pipeline at the completion moment of the first single-channel production sub-step for beverage Q is p+q. It can be understood that if the accumulated first production parameter is p+q and still does not meet the preset parameter verification end condition, then in the first beverage that adopts the first target verification pipeline after beverage Q, the initial value of the first production parameter of the first target verification pipeline at the triggering moment of the first single-channel production sub-step is p+q, and so on.

[0039] The above technical scheme uses the pipeline determined based on the replenishing operation as the first target verification pipeline, and performs single-channel output on the first target verification pipeline so that the actual output quantity of the first target verification pipeline reaches the corresponding preset output quantity. This can ensure that the actual output quantity of the first target verification pipeline can meet the preset output quantity of the corresponding material required for the current beverage through the separate output of the first target verification pipeline under the premise that there is a large amount of air in the first target verification pipeline, thereby helping to ensure that the current beverage will not be wasted; on the other hand, by accumulating the first output parameter of the first target verification pipeline from the triggering moment to the completion moment of the first single-channel output sub-step to determine whether the preset parameter verification end condition is met, it is helpful to determine whether the material filling condition in the first target verification pipeline is consistent with the material filling condition before the lack of material, thereby helping to ensure that the determined non-target verification pipeline can produce normally.

[0040] Optionally, the parameter verification step S120 specifically includes: for each second beverage, accumulating the first production parameter of the first target verification pipeline from the triggering moment of the first single-channel production sub-step to the completion moment of the first single-channel production sub-step; wherein the second beverage refers to the beverage after the first beverage where the replenishing operation is triggered and including the first target verification pipeline.

[0041] Exemplarily, during the process of executing the first single-channel production sub-step for the first beverage, the first production parameter of the first target verification pipeline may be optionally not accumulated. In other words, when the current beverage is the first second beverage after the first beverage, the first production parameter of the first target verification pipeline may be accumulated at the triggering moment of the first single-channel production sub-step. That is, at the triggering moment of the first single-channel production sub-step of the first second beverage, the accumulated first production parameter of the first target verification pipeline is 0.

[0042] The above technical scheme accumulates the first production parameters of the second beverage after the first beverage in which the refilling operation is triggered and includes the first target verification pipeline. The first production parameters can be accumulated after the first beverage in which the refilling operation is completed. The first production parameters of the first target verification pipeline in the first beverage in which the refilling operation is performed are not accumulated, which is conducive to eliminating the situation where the first production parameters are abnormal due to possible product abnormality in the period before the first target verification pipeline starts to produce after the refilling operation, thereby making the accumulated first production parameters more reliable. By accumulating the first production parameters, the actual workload of the first target verification pipeline after the refilling operation can be indicated to a large extent, so that the actual workload of the first target verification pipeline after the refilling operation can be judged more objectively and accurately. Whether the actual workload of the first target verification pipeline after the refilling operation can eliminate the abnormal situation where the material in the pipeline is not fully filled due to lack of material refilling.

[0043] Optionally, when the current beverage is the second beverage, the second beverage refers to the beverage after the first beverage where the replenishing operation is triggered and includes the first target verification pipeline; the first single-channel production sub-step specifically includes: first controlling the first target verification pipeline to perform single-channel production according to the second production parameter; wherein the second production parameter is an ideal production parameter required for a preset production quantity of the single-channel production; then continuing the single-channel production according to the actual production quantity and the preset production quantity until the actual production quantity of the first target verification pipeline reaches the preset production quantity; the parameter verification step also includes: obtaining the actual production quantity after controlling the first target verification pipeline to perform single-channel production according to the second production parameter; when the accumulated first production parameter meets the preset parameter verification end condition and the actual production quantity meets the preset production quantity, the first target verification pipeline is determined as a non-target verification pipeline; when the accumulated first production parameter does not meet the preset parameter verification end condition or the actual production quantity does not meet the preset production quantity, the first target verification pipeline remains as the first target verification pipeline.

[0044] Exemplarily, the output parameters required for the preset output quantity of the single-channel output of the first target verification pipeline can be calculated according to the calibration values ​​of the driving parameters (such as rotation speed, displacement, etc.) of the pump connected to the first target verification pipeline, and the output parameters can be recorded as ideal output parameters, i.e., second output parameters. After the first target verification pipeline performs single-channel output according to the second output parameters, the actual output quantity of the first target verification pipeline can be obtained. Specifically, the actual output quantity of the single-channel output of the first target verification pipeline according to the second output parameters may meet the preset output quantity. In this case, if the first output parameter accumulated by the first target verification pipeline meets the preset parameter verification end condition, the first target verification pipeline can be determined as a non-target verification pipeline; if the first output parameter accumulated by the first target verification pipeline does not meet the preset parameter verification end condition, the first target verification pipeline is still maintained as the first target verification pipeline. The actual output of the first target verification pipeline for single-channel production according to the second output parameter may not meet the preset output. In this case, the first target verification pipeline can continue to produce single-channel products until the actual output of the first target verification pipeline reaches the preset output, and the first target verification pipeline remains as the first target verification pipeline. "Meeting the preset output" can mean being equal to the preset output, or it can mean that the difference with the preset output is within the allowable error range. It should be noted that the judgment condition for whether the first target verification pipeline stops producing is not whether the output parameter reaches the ideal output parameter (the second output parameter) in the execution of the current first single-channel production sub-step, but whether the actual output of the first target verification pipeline reaches the preset output. That is to say, if the output parameter of the first target verification pipeline reaches the second output parameter in the current first single-channel production sub-step and the actual output does not reach the preset output, the first target verification pipeline does not suspend production, but continues single-channel production until the actual output reaches the preset output.

[0045] The above technical scheme determines whether the first target verification pipeline can be determined as a non-target verification pipeline by comprehensively comparing the first product parameter with the preset full-tube product parameter and the comparison result between the actual product quantity produced according to the ideal product parameter and the preset product quantity. This can accurately determine whether the first target verification pipeline meets the pipeline accuracy requirements for normal production when producing according to the ideal product parameter, thereby helping the accuracy of the determined non-target verification pipeline to meet the pipeline accuracy requirements.

[0046] Optionally, when the first product parameter meets the preset parameter verification end condition and the actual product quantity does not meet the preset product quantity, the verification times of the first target verification pipeline are accumulated; when the verification times are greater than or equal to the preset verification times threshold, an alarm message is output.

[0047] Exemplarily, when the first product parameter meets the preset parameter verification end condition, and the actual product quantity produced by the first target verification pipeline according to the second product parameter does not meet the preset product quantity, it can be regarded that the product accuracy of the first target verification pipeline does not meet the pipeline accuracy requirements. In this case, the number of verifications of the first target verification pipeline can be accumulated. Specifically, the number of verifications accumulated by the first target verification pipeline before the current product can be added by 1, and the new number of verifications obtained can be used as the first target verification pipeline as the current accumulated number of verifications. When the number of verifications is greater than or equal to the first preset number threshold (for example, 3), an alarm message can be output, and / or the first target verification pipeline can be determined as the pipeline to be calibrated so as to recalibrate the driving parameters of the pipeline to be calibrated through the preset pipeline calibration algorithm.

[0048] The above technical solution can quickly identify the pipeline with accuracy problems in the beverage machine. It is helpful to avoid repeatedly calibrating the first target calibration pipeline when there is an accuracy problem with the first target calibration pipeline, which helps to promptly remind the user to perform relevant calibration operations on the pipeline after determining the pipeline with accuracy problems.

[0049] Optionally, when the current beverage is the second beverage, the second beverage refers to the beverage that is after the first beverage where the refilling operation is triggered and includes the first target verification pipeline; the production step also includes a multi-channel production sub-step, and the multi-channel production sub-step specifically includes: controlling the first specific pipeline required for the current beverage to perform multi-channel production, the first specific pipeline includes other pipelines except the first target verification pipeline for executing the first single-channel production sub-step; after the first single-channel production sub-step and the multi-channel production sub-step, the method also includes: a second single-channel production sub-step: controlling the second specific pipeline required for the current beverage to perform single-channel production, the second specific pipeline is the pipeline with the largest weight required for producing the current beverage.

[0050] Exemplarily, the multi-channel production sub-step may be executed before or after the first single-channel production sub-step. In the multi-channel production sub-step, the first specific pipeline required for the current beverage may be controlled to perform multi-channel production. The first specific pipeline may only include other pipelines except the first target verification pipeline among all pipelines required for the current beverage. According to the formula of the current beverage, the required material with the largest weight may be determined, and the pipeline used to produce the material may be used as the second specific pipeline. Taking the current beverage formula including 300g material A, 80g material B, and 20g material C as an example, the pipeline used to produce material A may be used as the second specific pipeline. After the multi-channel production sub-step, the second single-channel production sub-step may also be executed. In the second single-channel production sub-step, the second specific pipeline may be controlled to perform single-channel production. The first target verification pipeline may be the second specific pipeline. In this case, the first single-channel production sub-step includes the second single-channel production sub-step, and the completion time of the second single-channel production sub-step is the completion time of the first single-channel production sub-step. It can be understood that the second single-channel production sub-step is used to compensate for the weight of the current beverage. For a specific explanation of the weight compensation, please refer to the aforementioned embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0051] In the above technical scheme, among all the pipelines used for the current beverage, except the first target verification pipeline, other pipelines can participate in multi-channel production, which can save the production time of other pipelines and improve the production efficiency of the current beverage. On the other hand, the pipeline used to produce the material with the largest weight required for the current beverage is determined as the second specific pipeline. When there is a deviation in the actual total weight of the current beverage produced before the second single-channel production sub-step, the weight of the current beverage can be compensated with the material that has the least impact on the taste of the current beverage, which is conducive to ensuring the stability of the taste of the current beverage obtained in the end.

[0052] Optionally, the multi-channel production sub-step specifically includes: while the first specific pipeline required for the current beverage is producing, the second specific pipeline is controlled to produce at a first preset speed according to the partial weight of the product required to be produced by the second specific pipeline in the multi-channel production sub-step; the second single-channel production sub-step specifically includes: controlling the second specific pipeline to produce at a second preset speed until the actual total weight of the current beverage is equal to the difference between the target total weight of the current beverage and the current early stop amount, and then controlling the second specific pipeline to stop producing; wherein the first preset speed is greater than the second preset speed.

[0053] For example, taking the current beverage as the second beverage and the second specific pipeline as the first target calibration pipeline, in the multi-channel production sub-step, the second specific pipeline can produce according to the partial weight of the total weight required by the corresponding material, and the partial weight can be a preset value. For example, the total weight required for the material of the second specific pipeline in the current recipe of the current beverage is 100g, and the weight required for the second specific pipeline to produce in the multi-channel production sub-step can be 85g. Specifically, taking the driving parameters of the pump used for the second specific pipeline including the displacement as an example, the pump can have a calibrated value of the displacement, and the unit of measurement of the displacement can be, for example, cubic centimeters per revolution, and the displacement of the pump used to connect to the second specific pipeline (referred to as the target pump) is recorded as V, and the total weight of the product required by the second specific pipeline for the current beverage is recorded as M, then the calibrated total revolutions of the target pump for the current recipe can be M / (V×ρ), and ρ is the density of the material of the second specific pipeline (the unit of measurement can be, for example, grams per cubic centimeter). The weight of the product required to be produced by the second specific pipeline in the multi-channel production sub-step is recorded as M1, and the first calibrated revolution of the target pump that drives the second specific pipeline to produce the product according to M1 can be equal to M1 / (V×ρ). In the process of multi-channel production of the first specific pipeline, the target pump can be operated according to the driving parameters of the revolution equal to the first calibrated revolution M1 / (V×ρ) and the rotation speed equal to the first preset rotation speed (recorded as v1, the measurement unit can be revolutions / second) to drive the second specific pipeline to produce the corresponding material at the first preset speed. The measurement unit of the first preset speed can be, for example, grams / second, which can be equal to V×ρ×v1. The size of the first preset speed can be controlled by controlling the size of v1, and the setting method of the second preset speed is similar to that of the first preset speed. It should be noted that due to objective factors such as machining errors and material wall hanging, the weight of the material actually produced by the second specific pipeline in the multi-channel production sub-step may be different from the weight required to be produced in the multi-channel production sub-step. In the second single-channel production sub-step, the second specific pipeline can be controlled to produce at the second preset speed, and the actual total weight of the current beverage can be obtained in real time. When the actual total weight obtained is equal to the difference between the target total weight of the current beverage and the current advance stop amount, the second specific pipeline can be controlled to stop producing. It should be noted that if the current beverage is the second beverage and the second specific pipeline is the first target verification pipeline, in this case, the weight of the part of the second specific pipeline that needs to be produced in the multi-channel production sub-step is zero, that is, it does not participate in the multi-channel production sub-step.

[0054] The above technical solution can reduce the production time of the second specific pipeline in the second single-channel production sub-step by controlling the production of the second specific pipeline during the process of controlling the production of the first specific pipeline, thereby saving the production time of the whole cup of the current beverage. By controlling the first preset speed of the second specific pipeline in the multi-channel production sub-step to be greater than the second preset speed in the second single-channel production sub-step, it is conducive to ensuring that the actual total weight of the current beverage measured in real time in the second single-channel production sub-step can be close to the actual production volume of all pipelines, thereby ensuring that the weight of the current beverage is compensated more accurately.

[0055] Optionally, different pipelines are provided with respective initial values ​​of early stop quantities, and the method further includes an early stop quantity correction step: after the second single-channel production sub-step controls the second specific pipeline to stop production, the actual total weight of the current beverage is obtained; and the early stop quantity of the second specific pipeline is corrected and updated according to the deviation value between the actual total weight obtained after the second single-channel production sub-step and the target total weight.

[0056] Exemplarily, at the moment when the second specific pipeline is controlled to stop discharging, the dispensing port of the beverage machine is still dispensing, so the actual total weight obtained at the moment when the second specific pipeline is controlled to stop dispensing cannot be equal to the actual total weight of all pipelines required for the current beverage that have been dispensed. After the second specific pipeline is controlled to stop dispensing, when it is determined that the actual total weight of the current beverage is stable, that is, when the actual total weight obtained at a certain moment does not change relative to the actual total weight at the previous moment, the actual total weight at this moment can be used as the actual total weight of the current beverage finally determined. The deviation value between the actual total weight of the current beverage and the preset dispensing amount can be a positive value, a negative value or 0. When the absolute value of the deviation value is greater than the preset deviation threshold, the early stop amount can be corrected and adjusted. For example, when the absolute value of the deviation value is greater than the preset deviation threshold and the deviation value is a negative value, the current early stop amount can be reduced; when the absolute value of the deviation value is greater than the preset deviation threshold and the deviation value is a positive value, the current early stop amount can be increased. The adjusted early stop amount can be updated to the current early stop amount.

[0057] In the above technical solution, for each current beverage, the early stop amount of the second specific pipeline corresponding to the current beverage can be determined, which can adaptively determine the extraction stop amounts of different second specific pipelines used to produce different beverages, thereby helping to ensure that the actual total weight of each beverage is as close as possible to the corresponding target total weight.

[0058] Optionally, the method also includes an integral verification step; the production step also includes: a third single-channel production sub-step of performing single-channel production on the second target verification pipeline of the current beverage, the second target verification pipeline refers to the target pipeline whose integral meets the verification requirements; in the multi-channel production sub-step, the first specific pipeline also includes other pipelines except the second target verification pipeline that executes the third single-channel production sub-step; the integral verification step includes: when the difference between the actual output volume after multi-channel production in the first specific pipeline and the corresponding preset output volume meets the production error requirement, the integrals of each of the first specific pipelines are accumulated; if not, the integrals of each of the first specific pipelines are cleared; and, verifying whether the production accuracy of the second target verification pipeline of each third single-channel production sub-step meets the preset accuracy requirement, if so, clearing the integral of the second target verification pipeline; wherein the number of third single-channel production sub-steps is less than or equal to the number of second target verification pipelines.

[0059] Exemplarily, the pipeline used for the current beverage may include a second target verification pipeline, and each pipeline of the multiple pipelines of the beverage machine may have a corresponding integral, and the second target verification pipeline refers to a target pipeline whose integral meets the verification requirements. Specifically, the integral may include an integral score and / or an integral number. When the integral includes an integral score, for each pipeline that needs to be integrated in the multi-channel production sub-step, the total weight required for the pipeline to produce the current beverage can be used as the integral score for the pipeline for this production, and the integral score is added to the integral score accumulated by the pipeline before the production, and the new integral score is used as the current accumulated integral score of the pipeline. When the integral includes an integral number, for each pipeline that needs to be integrated in the multi-channel production sub-step, the number of integrals accumulated by the pipeline before the production can be added by 1, and the new number of integrals is used as the current accumulated number of integrals of the pipeline. After determining the integrals of each of the multiple pipelines of the beverage machine, one or more pipelines can be determined from the multiple pipelines as the second target verification pipeline. In some embodiments, one or more pipelines can be determined as the second target verification pipeline in each pipeline of the beverage machine according to the respective integrals of each pipeline of the beverage machine. For the current beverage, it can be determined whether the pipeline used to produce the current beverage includes the second target verification pipeline before the current beverage is produced. In other embodiments, one or more pipelines can be determined as the second target verification pipeline in all pipelines used by the current beverage according to the respective integrals of all pipelines used by the current beverage. Specifically, the second target verification pipeline can be one or more, in which case, one or more pipelines with integrals greater than or equal to a preset integral threshold can be determined as the second target verification pipeline. The second target verification pipeline can also be only one, in which case, a single pipeline with integrals greater than or equal to a preset integral threshold and the largest integral can be determined as the second target verification pipeline. If the number of pipelines with integrals greater than or equal to the preset integral threshold and the largest integral is multiple, one pipeline can be determined as the second target verification pipeline according to a preset rule, and the preset rule can be, for example, a priority from small to large according to the pipeline number, or can be randomly selected from any pipeline with integrals greater than or equal to the preset integral threshold and the largest integral.

[0060] Exemplarily, a third single-channel production sub-step may be optionally included before the second single-channel production sub-step. The first specific pipeline may have a corresponding preset production volume in the multi-channel production sub-step, which may be set by the user, or may be calculated based on the calibration value of the driving parameter (e.g., the speed and displacement of the pump, etc.) of the pump connected to the first specific pipeline in the time period from the start time of the multi-channel production sub-step to the end time of the multi-channel production sub-step. The first specific pipeline may include other pipelines except the first target verification pipeline and the second target verification pipeline, and may also optionally include the second target verification pipeline. The actual production volume of the first specific pipeline in the multi-channel production sub-step can be determined based on the actual total weight of the current beverage obtained after the multi-channel production sub-step. The actual production volume after the first specific pipeline performs multi-channel production can be compared with the corresponding preset production volume. When the difference between the actual production volume and the preset production volume meets the production error requirement, the points of the first specific pipelines participating in the production in the multi-channel production sub-step can be accumulated. The production error requirement may include, for example, that the difference between the actual production amount and the preset production amount is outside the production tolerance range. When the difference between the actual production amount and the preset production amount does not meet the production error requirement, the integrals of the first specific pipelines participating in the production in the multi-channel production sub-step may be cleared.

[0061] Exemplarily, when executing the third single-channel production sub-step, only one second target verification pipeline can be controlled to perform single-channel production. If the number of second target verification pipelines is greater than 1, each second pipeline can be controlled in sequence to perform single-channel production, and only one second target verification pipeline is controlled to perform single-channel production each time. The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the order of single-channel production of multiple second target verification pipelines. The order can be, for example, a random order, or can be, for example, an order from large to small or from small to large according to the preset production volume of the second target verification pipeline. It can be understood that when the number of second target verification pipelines used in the current beverage is multiple, the number of times the third single-channel production sub-step is executed, that is, the number of the third single-channel production sub-steps can be less than or equal to the number of second target verification pipelines used in the current beverage. In other words, each second target verification pipeline participating in each third single-channel production sub-step can be part or all of the second target verification pipelines used in the current beverage. When executing the third single-channel production sub-step based on the second target verification pipeline, it can be determined whether the production accuracy of the second target verification pipeline meets the preset accuracy requirement. If the output accuracy of the second target verification pipeline meets the preset accuracy requirement, the integral of the second target verification pipeline can be cleared. When the second target verification pipeline is not the second specific pipeline, the weight of the product required to be output by the second target verification pipeline in the third single-channel output sub-step can be the total weight of the product required by the second target verification pipeline for the current beverage. When the second target verification pipeline is the second specific pipeline, the weight of the product required to be output by the second target verification pipeline in the third single-channel output sub-step can be the partial weight of the product required by the second target verification pipeline for the current beverage. When the weight of the product required to be output by the second target verification pipeline in the third single-channel output sub-step is the partial weight of the product required by the second target verification pipeline for the current beverage: if the second specific pipeline is not the second target verification pipeline, the second target verification pipeline can also output in the multi-channel output sub-step; if the second specific pipeline is the second target verification pipeline, the second target verification pipeline can output in the second single-channel output sub-step, or the second target verification pipeline can output in the multi-channel output sub-step and the second single-channel output sub-step. It can be understood that when the second target verification pipeline is produced in the multi-channel production sub-step, the first specific pipeline can include the second target verification pipeline.

[0062] The above technical solution integrates the first specific pipeline participating in the multi-channel production sub-step when the actual output after the multi-channel production sub-step meets the production error requirements. This method can determine the pipeline with the highest participation among the pipelines participating in the multi-channel production sub-step that meet the production error requirements, so as to obtain the second target verification pipeline with the greatest possibility of abnormal accuracy. On the other hand, when the output accuracy of the second target verification pipeline in the third single-channel production sub-step meets the preset accuracy requirements, the integration of the second target verification pipeline is cleared to zero, and the pipeline whose output accuracy meets the preset accuracy requirements can be excluded, thereby avoiding repeated accuracy verification of the pipeline with normal accuracy. This solution can dynamically and quickly trigger the accuracy verification of the pipeline, which is conducive to avoiding excessive deviation of the output accuracy of the pipeline due to long-term production of beverages, thereby ensuring that the deviation of the accuracy of the whole cup of each beverage will not be too large when multiple beverages are produced for a long time. In addition, the accuracy verification is automatically triggered by integration, which effectively solves the problem that "manual judgment of pipelines with poor production accuracy" is difficult and time-consuming.

[0063] Optionally, when the current beverage includes a first target verification pipeline and a second target verification pipeline, and the first target verification pipeline and the second target verification pipeline are different pipelines, the third single-channel production sub-step includes: controlling the single-channel production of the second target verification pipeline until the actual production quantity of the second target verification pipeline meets the preset quantity of the single-channel production of the second target verification pipeline; when the preset quantity is less than the weight of the second target verification pipeline required to produce in the third single-channel production sub-step and the multi-channel production sub-step, in the multi-channel production sub-step, the first specific pipeline also includes the second target verification pipeline for executing the third single-channel production sub-step.

[0064] Exemplarily, all pipelines required for the current beverage may include a first target calibration pipeline and a second target calibration pipeline, and the first target calibration pipeline and the second target calibration pipeline may be different pipelines. The second target calibration pipeline may only participate in the third single-channel production sub-step, or may participate in the third single-channel production sub-step and the second single-channel production sub-step, or may participate in the third single-channel production sub-step and the multi-channel production sub-step, or may participate in the third single-channel production sub-step, the multi-channel production sub-step and the second single-channel production sub-step. When the second target calibration pipeline participates in the second single-channel production sub-step, the weight of the product required by the second target calibration pipeline in the third single-channel production sub-step and the multi-channel production sub-step is part of the weight of the second target calibration pipeline required for the current beverage, and when the second target calibration pipeline does not participate in the second single-channel production sub-step, the weight of the product required by the second target calibration pipeline in the third single-channel production sub-step and the multi-channel production sub-step is the total weight of the second target calibration pipeline required for the current beverage. The preset amount of product required to be produced by the second target verification pipeline in the third single-channel production sub-step can be less than the weight of the product required to be produced in the third single-channel production sub-step and the multi-channel production sub-step. In this case, the second target verification pipeline can participate in the multi-channel production sub-step, and the first specific pipeline can also include the second target verification pipeline.

[0065] In the above technical solution, the second target verification pipeline can participate in the multi-channel production sub-step, which can reduce the execution time of the third single-channel production sub-step, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of the whole cup production of the current beverage.

[0066] Optionally, the production step includes one of a first single-channel production sub-step and a third single-channel production sub-step; when the same target pipeline of the current beverage serves as both the first target verification pipeline and the second target verification pipeline, the target pipeline is determined as the first target verification pipeline; when the current beverage includes a first target verification pipeline and a second target verification pipeline, and the first target verification pipeline and the second target verification pipeline are different pipelines, the first single-channel production sub-step is executed only based on the first target verification pipeline.

[0067] Exemplarily, when a certain target pipeline used by the current beverage can be used as both the first target verification pipeline and the second target verification pipeline, the target pipeline can be determined as the first target verification pipeline. When all pipelines used by the current beverage include both the first target verification pipeline and the second target verification pipeline, and the first target verification pipeline and the second target verification pipeline are different pipelines, the first single-channel production sub-step is performed only based on the first target verification pipeline, and the second target verification pipeline can be regarded as a pipeline for normal production, that is, for the current beverage, it can be regarded that among all pipelines used by the current beverage, the state of the second target verification pipeline is regarded as consistent with the state of other pipelines that are neither the first target verification pipeline nor the second target verification pipeline, that is, the third single-channel production sub-step is not performed.

[0068] In the above technical solution, when all pipelines required for the current beverage include the first target verification pipeline and the second target verification pipeline, the first single-channel production sub-step can be performed only based on the first target verification pipeline, which can reduce the time of single-channel production and help improve the speed of whole cup production. On the other hand, when the same pipeline is used as the first target verification pipeline and the second target verification pipeline at the same time, it is determined as the first target verification pipeline. When the first target verification pipeline meets the preset parameter verification end condition, it is likely that its production accuracy meets the preset accuracy requirements. In other words, the integral of the pipeline may be superimposed due to the accuracy problem caused by lack of material. By determining it as the first target verification pipeline, repeated single-channel production verification of the pipeline can be avoided.

[0069] Optionally, the preset parameter verification end conditions include: the accumulated first product parameter is greater than or equal to the preset product parameter threshold; the type of material produced by each pipeline corresponds to its own preset product parameter threshold.

[0070] Exemplarily, when the first production parameter is the production time, the preset production parameter threshold value may be a preset duration, and the preset duration threshold value may be, for example, the duration required for full pipe operation, or may be set by the user based on the duration required for full pipe operation, which may be less than / equal to / greater than the duration required for full pipe operation. The description of the full pipe operation may refer to the aforementioned embodiment, which will not be repeated here. In this case, when the accumulated production time is greater than or equal to the preset duration threshold value, it may be determined that the first target verification pipeline satisfies the preset parameter verification end condition. When the first production parameter is the number of revolutions of the pump connected to the first target verification pipeline, the preset production parameter threshold value may be a preset revolution threshold value, and the preset revolution threshold value may be the number of revolutions of the pump required for full pipe operation, or may be set by the user based on the number of revolutions of the pump required for full pipe operation, which may be less than / equal to / greater than the number of revolutions of the pump required for full pipe operation. In this case, when the accumulated number of revolutions of the pump is greater than or equal to the preset revolution threshold value, it may be determined that the first target verification pipeline satisfies the preset parameter verification end condition. Exemplarily, the material output by the first target verification pipeline can have a corresponding viscosity. It can be understood that when the viscosity of the material is high, the fluidity is low, and the preset output parameter threshold value can be larger. For example, for high-viscosity materials, the number of pump revolutions is small / the output time of the first target verification pipeline (that is, the running time of the pump) is small. It may be that the material has a large viscosity, resulting in failure to produce. Therefore, the preset output parameter threshold value of the first target verification pipeline for producing high-viscosity materials can be larger. Specifically, materials of different viscosities can correspond to different preset output parameter threshold values, and accordingly, each first target verification pipeline for producing materials of different viscosities can correspond to its own preset output parameter threshold value.

[0071] In the above technical solution, the preset production parameter threshold can correspond to the type of material produced by the first target verification pipeline, which helps to ensure that when the production parameters of the first target verification pipeline reach the corresponding preset production parameter threshold, the corresponding material can fill the pipeline as much as possible, and helps the determined non-target verification pipeline to produce smoothly and stably.

[0072] See also Figure 2 As shown, it is a schematic block diagram of a beverage dispensing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to another aspect of the present invention, a beverage dispensing device 200 is further provided. The device 200 includes:
