[0037] The beverage output device provided by the present application may include a water dispenser, a water purifier, a beverage machine, an ice maker, or a drinking water-ice making integrated machine, but is not limited thereto. The beverage output device may be an independent mobile device to realize movable output of the first type of beverage ingredients and / or output of the second type of beverage ingredients, or the beverage output device may be provided on the door body, outer wall, workbench surface, etc. of other household appliances.

[0038] The present application provides a control method for a beverage output device 100. Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 FIG. is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the beverage output device provided by the present application; Figure 2 FIG. is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the beverage output device provided by the present application; Figure 3 FIG. is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the beverage output device provided by the present application. The beverage output device 100 has a sensing component 110 and a beverage output port 100a. The sensing component 110 and the beverage output port 100a are located above the carrying platform 130. The carrying platform 130 is used to carry the container 140. The container 140 is used to hold the beverage. The beverage includes the first type of beverage ingredients and / or the second type of beverage ingredients. Among them, the first type of beverage ingredients includes ingredients with fixed shapes, elastic ingredients, and ingredients with poor fluidity. For example, ice cubes, crushed ice, red beans, mung beans, peanuts, coconut jelly, taro balls, milk jelly, jelly, turtle jelly, fruit puree, taro puree, ice cream, puffed products, baked products, pearls in pearl milk tea, etc.; the second type of beverage ingredients includes ingredients with high fluidity. For example, water, fruit juice, milk, coffee, cola, soy milk, etc. The sensing component 110 is relatively fixed with the beverage output port 100a. The sensing component 110 is used to move synchronously with the beverage output port 100a. The sensing component 110 includes a trigger part 111 and a micro switch 112. The trigger part 111 is used to trigger the micro switch 112 when it touches the opening edge of the container 140.

[0039] The sensing component 110 is relatively fixed with the beverage output port 100a, that is, during the synchronous movement of the sensing component 110 and the beverage output port 100a, the relative position between the sensing component 110 and the beverage output port 100a remains unchanged.

[0040] The beverage output device 100 also has a detection component 170. The detection component 170 is used to detect the detection information in the container 140. The detection component 170 is located above the carrying platform 130. The detection component 170 is used to move synchronously with the beverage output port 100a, emit a detection wave, and receive the echo of the detection wave, and at the same time judge whether the detection information in the container 140 meets the preset conditions according to the received echo of the detection wave. When the detection component 170 detects that the detection information in the container 140 meets the preset conditions, the beverage output port 100a stops outputting the first type of beverage ingredients and / or outputting the second type of beverage ingredients.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 4 as well, Figure 4 which is a schematic flowchart of an implementation manner of the control method for a beverage output device provided in this application. The control method of the beverage output device 100 includes: receiving a user instruction, where the user instruction includes a first instruction, a second instruction, and a third instruction. The first instruction is an instruction to output a first type of beverage ingredient, the second instruction is an instruction to output a second type of beverage ingredient, and the third instruction is an instruction to output the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient; the beverage output port 100a moves downward from the initial position; in response to the trigger part 111 triggering the micro switch 112, the downward movement of the beverage output port 100a stops; in response to the step of stopping the downward movement of the beverage output port 100a, output the first type of beverage ingredient and / or output the second type of beverage ingredient to the container 140 for receiving the beverage according to the user instruction, and in response to detecting that the detection information in the container 140 meets the preset conditions, stop outputting the first type of beverage ingredient and / or outputting the second type of beverage ingredient.

[0042] Specifically, the beverage output port 100a, the sensing component 110, and the detection component 170 of the beverage output device 100 are located above the carrier 130. The sensing component 110 and the detection component 170 are fixedly arranged relative to the beverage output port 100a, and the sensing component 110 and the detection component 170 can be arranged on the outer periphery of the beverage output port 100a. During the downward movement of the beverage output port 100a, the sensing component 110 and the detection component 170 descend synchronously. The beverage output device 100 detects the vertical distance between the beverage output port 100a and the opening edge of the container 140 and detects the vertical distance between the beverage output port 100a and the top of the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient in the container 140 through the detection component 170.

[0043] The control method of the beverage output device 100 includes the following steps:

[0044] Step S101: Receive a user instruction.

[0045] The user instruction includes a first instruction, a second instruction, and a third instruction. Among them, the first instruction is an instruction to output a first type of beverage ingredient, the second instruction is an instruction to output a second type of beverage ingredient, and the third instruction is an instruction to output the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient.

[0046] The user instructions are received by the instruction receiving component 120 provided in the beverage output device 100. After the instruction receiving component 120 receives the user instructions, it can transmit the user instructions to the processor 180. The user instructions include a first instruction, a second instruction, and a third instruction. Among them, the third instruction is an instruction to output the first type of beverage ingredient first and then output the second type of beverage ingredient, so that a mixture of the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient can be obtained through one instruction, without the user clicking or controlling the instruction receiving component 120 twice.

[0047] In addition, since the inertia of the first type of beverage ingredient is greater during the process of outputting the first type of beverage ingredient, outputting the first type of beverage ingredient first and then outputting the second type of beverage ingredient can also prevent the second type of beverage ingredient from splashing after the first type of beverage ingredient falls into the second type of beverage ingredient. In some embodiments, the third instruction can also be an instruction to output the second type of beverage ingredient first and then output the first type of beverage ingredient. The embodiments of the present application are described by taking the third instruction as an instruction to output the first type of beverage ingredient first and then output the second type of beverage ingredient as an example.

[0048] In some embodiments, the instruction receiving component 120 may include an input area of a button, a knob, a microphone, a camera, or a display screen provided on the beverage output device 100; or the beverage output device 100 is used to be connected to the user's client device in a wired or wireless manner, and the instruction receiving component 120 includes an antenna, a connector provided on the beverage output device 100, and an input area of a button, a knob, a microphone, a camera, or a display screen provided on the client device.

[0049] Step S102: The beverage output port 100a moves downward from the initial position.

[0050] The detection information includes first information and / or second information.

[0051] Optionally, the first information in this embodiment is the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the top of the first type of beverage ingredient, and the second information is the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient.

[0052] After receiving the user instruction, the beverage outlet 100a descends from the initial position. The descent of the beverage outlet 100a can bring it closer to the opening edge of the container 140, preventing the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient from splashing due to the beverage outlet 100a being too far away from the opening edge of the container 140. At the same time, the detection component 170 moves synchronously with the beverage outlet 100a, so that the detection component 170 is located at a suitable position where it can detect the opening edge of the container 140, the top information of the first type of beverage ingredient in the container 140, and / or the top information of the second type of beverage ingredient, that is, the opening edge of the container 140 and the top of the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient in the container 140 are within the detection range of the detection component 170, avoiding the opening edge of the container 140 and / or the top of the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient in the container 140 being in the blind area of the detection component 170.

[0053] After the beverage outlet 100a moves downward from the initial position, that is, after performing step S102, step S103 is further included.

[0054] Step S103: In response to the trigger part 111 triggering the microswitch 112, stop the downward movement of the beverage outlet 100a.

[0055] It should be noted that the trigger part 111 is movably arranged on the edge of the beverage outlet 100a and connected to the microswitch 112. The trigger part 111 is used to trigger the microswitch 112 when it touches the opening edge of the container 140. After the microswitch 112 is triggered, the beverage outlet 100a stops moving downward.

[0056] The microswitch 112 is connected to the processor 180. When the microswitch 112 is triggered, an instruction is sent to the processor 180, and the processor 180 controls the moving component 152 to stop moving, so that the beverage outlet 100a stops moving downward.

[0057] After the beverage outlet 100a stops moving downward, that is, after performing step S103, step S104 is further included.

[0058] Step S104: In response to the step of stopping the downward movement of the beverage outlet 100a, output the first type of beverage ingredient and / or output the second type of beverage ingredient to the container 140 for receiving the beverage according to the user instruction.

[0059] After the beverage outlet 100a stops moving downward, the beverage output device 100 outputs the first type of beverage ingredient and / or outputs the second type of beverage ingredient according to the user instruction in step S101.

[0060] It can be understood that when the user instruction is the first instruction, the beverage outlet 100a outputs the first type of beverage ingredient to the container 140; when the user instruction is the second instruction, the beverage outlet 100a outputs the second type of beverage ingredient to the container 140; when the user instruction is the third instruction, the beverage outlet 100a first outputs the first type of beverage ingredient to the container 140 and then outputs the second type of beverage ingredient to the container 140.

[0061] After the steps S101, S102, and S103 are executed in the embodiment of the present application, the beverage outlet 100a is close to the opening edge of the container 140, and then step S104 is executed, so that the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient will not splash out of the container 140, thereby avoiding waste and improving the user experience. In addition, it also enables containers 140 with different heights to be placed on the carrier 130, improving the adaptability between the beverage output device 100 and the container 140.

[0062] Step S105: In response to detecting that the detection information in the container 140 meets the preset condition, stop outputting the first type of beverage ingredient and / or output the second type of beverage ingredient.

[0063] The preset condition can be obtained through data statistics or experience. By comparing the detection information with the preset condition, the output of the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient can be stopped in a timely manner to reduce beverage splashing or overflowing.

[0064] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 5 to 6 , Figure 5 is a schematic flowchart of an implementation manner of the control method for a beverage output device provided by the present application; Figure 6 is a schematic flowchart of an implementation manner of the control method for a beverage output device provided by the present application. Step S105 may include: determining whether the detection information in the container 140 meets the preset condition; if so, execute the step of stopping outputting the first type of beverage ingredient and / or outputting the second type of beverage ingredient, and if not, return to execute the step of determining whether the detection information in the container 140 meets the preset condition. Specifically, step S105 may include the following steps:

[0065] Step S1051: Determine whether the detection information in the container 140 meets the preset condition.

[0066] If the detection component 170 detects that the detection information in the container 140 meets the preset condition, then execute step S1052: Stop outputting the first type of beverage ingredient and / or output the second type of beverage ingredient.

[0067] If the detection component 170 detects that the detection information in the container 140 does not meet the preset conditions, then return to execute step S1051 of determining whether the detection information in the container 140 meets the preset conditions.

[0068] It should be noted that the first information is the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the top of the first type of drink ingredient. When the detection component 170 detects that the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the top of the first type of drink ingredient meets the preset conditions, stop outputting the first type of drink ingredient; the second information is the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the liquid level of the second type of drink ingredient. When the detection component 170 detects that the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the liquid level of the second type of drink ingredient meets the preset conditions, stop outputting the second type of drink ingredient. When the detection component 170 detects that the detection information in the container 140 does not meet the preset conditions, return to execute the step of determining whether the detection information in the container 140 meets the preset conditions. In this embodiment, by setting the preset conditions, when the detection component 170 detects that the detection information in the container 140 meets the preset conditions, automatically stop outputting the first type of drink ingredient and / or output the second type of drink ingredient, avoiding the overflow or splashing of the first type of drink ingredient and / or the second type of drink ingredient.

[0069] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figures 5 to 6 , step S103 may include the following steps:

[0070] Step S1031: Determine whether the trigger portion 111 triggers the microswitch 112.

[0071] It should be noted that step S1031 is to determine whether the trigger portion 111 triggers the microswitch 112. If the trigger portion 111 triggers the microswitch 112, it means that the trigger portion 111 has touched the opening edge of the container 140. If the trigger portion 111 does not trigger the microswitch 112, it means that the trigger portion 111 has not touched the opening edge of the container 140. In the embodiment of the present application, the processor 180 can be used to determine whether the trigger portion 111 triggers the microswitch 112.

[0072] If so, execute step S1032: Stop the downward movement of the drink outlet 100a.

[0073] If not, execute step S1033: Maintain the state of the downward movement of the drink outlet 100a, and at the same time return to execute step S1031: Determine whether the trigger portion 111 triggers the microswitch 112.

[0074] If the trigger part 111 does not trigger the microswitch 112 within the preset time period, it indicates that the sensing component 110 has not yet moved down to a suitable position where it can detect the opening edge of the container 140. At this time, the state of the beverage outlet 100a moving downward is maintained, and at the same time, the step of determining whether the trigger part 111 triggers the microswitch 112 is maintained.

[0075] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 2 , the beverage outlet 100a has a movement track 151. The movement track 151 has a first end 1511 far from the carrier 130 and a second end 1512 close to the carrier 130. The initial position is located at the first end 1511. The second end 1512 is the lowest position where the beverage outlet 100a can move downward. In the step of the beverage outlet 100a moving downward from the initial position, the beverage outlet 100a moves from the first end 1511 to the second end 1512.

[0076] Between the step of determining whether the trigger part 111 triggers the microswitch 112 and maintaining the state of the beverage outlet 100a moving downward, and then returning to execute the step of determining whether the trigger part 111 triggers the microswitch 112, that is, after executing step S1031: determining whether the trigger part 111 triggers the microswitch 112, and before executing step S1033: maintaining the state of the beverage outlet 100a moving downward and returning to execute step S1031: determining whether the trigger part 111 triggers the microswitch 112, there is also step S1033a.

[0077] Step S1033a: Determine whether the beverage outlet 100a has reached the second end 1512.

[0078] The second end 1512 is the lowest position where the beverage outlet 100a can move downward.

[0079] If so, execute step S1032: Stop the beverage outlet 100a from moving downward.

[0080] If it is determined that the beverage outlet 100a has reached the second end 1512, it means that the beverage outlet 100a has moved to the lowest position. At this time, execute step S1032 to stop the beverage outlet 100a from moving downward.

[0081] If not, execute step S1033: Execute the state of maintaining the beverage outlet 100a moving downward, and at the same time return to execute step S1031: Determine whether the trigger part 111 triggers the microswitch 112.

[0082] In some embodiments, in the step of outputting the first type of beverage ingredients and / or outputting the second type of beverage ingredients to the container 140 for receiving the beverage according to a user instruction, and stopping outputting the first type of beverage ingredients and / or outputting the second type of beverage ingredients in response to detecting that the detection information in the container 140 meets a preset condition, it includes: in response to the user instruction being the first instruction, outputting the first type of beverage ingredients according to the user instruction, and stopping outputting the first type of beverage ingredients when it is detected that the first information in the container 140 meets the first preset condition; or in response to the user instruction being the second instruction, outputting the second type of beverage ingredients according to the user instruction, and stopping outputting the second type of beverage ingredients when it is detected that the second information in the container 140 meets the second preset condition; or in response to the user instruction being the third instruction, outputting the first type of beverage ingredients according to the user instruction, and stopping outputting the first type of beverage ingredients when it is detected that the first information in the container 140 meets the first preset condition; outputting the second type of beverage ingredients according to the user instruction, and stopping outputting the second type of beverage ingredients when it is detected that the second information in the container 140 meets the second preset condition.

[0083] Specifically, for steps S104 and S105, in the step of outputting the first type of beverage ingredients and / or outputting the second type of beverage ingredients to the container 140 for receiving the beverage according to a user instruction, and stopping outputting the first type of beverage ingredients and / or outputting the second type of beverage ingredients in response to detecting that the detection information in the container 140 meets a preset condition, the specific method includes:

[0084] Method 1: In response to the user instruction being the first instruction, output the first type of beverage ingredients according to the user instruction, and stop outputting the first type of beverage ingredients when it is detected that the first information in the container 140 meets the first preset condition.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7FIG. 0 is a schematic diagram of the first information detection for an embodiment of the control method of the beverage output device of the present application. The detection component 170 detects the distance Hc, where the distance Hc is the vertical distance between the beverage outlet 100a and the opening edge of the container 140. When stopping the output of the first type of beverage ingredient, the distance between the beverage outlet 100a and the top of the first type of beverage ingredient is Hc + h1, where h1 is the minimum vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the top of the first type of beverage ingredient when the first type of beverage ingredient cannot splash out of the container 140, obtained based on data statistics or experience. When outputting the first type of beverage ingredient according to a user instruction, the detection component 170 detects and confirms in real time the vertical distance H1 between the beverage outlet 100a and the top of the first type of beverage ingredient. When it is determined that H1 - Hc > h1, continue to output the first type of beverage ingredient; when it is determined that H1 - Hc ≤ h1, it means that if the first type of beverage ingredient is continued to be output, the first type of beverage ingredient will splash, and at this time, stop outputting the first type of beverage ingredient. The first information conforms to the first preset condition, that is, H1 - Hc ≤ h1 is satisfied.

[0086] Method 2: In response to the user instruction being the second instruction, output the second type of beverage ingredient according to the user instruction, and stop outputting the second type of beverage ingredient in response to the second information in the container 140 conforming to the second preset condition.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of the second information detection for an embodiment of the control method of the beverage output device of the present application. The detection component 170 detects the distance Hc, where the distance Hc is the vertical distance between the beverage outlet and the opening edge of the container 140. When stopping the output of the second type of beverage ingredient, the distance between the beverage outlet 100a and the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient is Hc + h2, where h2 is the minimum vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient when the second type of beverage ingredient cannot splash out of the container 140, obtained based on data statistics or experience. When outputting the second type of beverage ingredient according to a user instruction, the detection component 170 detects and confirms in real time the vertical distance H2 between the beverage outlet 100a and the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient. When it is determined that H2 - Hc > h2, continue to output the second type of beverage ingredient; when it is determined that H2 - Hc ≤ h2, it means that if the second type of beverage ingredient is continued to be filled, the second type of beverage ingredient will splash, and at this time, stop outputting the second type of beverage ingredient. The second information conforms to the second preset condition, that is, H2 - Hc ≤ h2 is satisfied.

[0088] Method 3: Alternatively, in response to the user instruction being the third instruction, output the first type of beverage ingredients according to the user instruction, and stop outputting the first type of beverage ingredients when it is detected that the first information in container 140 meets the first preset condition; output the second type of beverage ingredients according to the user instruction, and stop outputting the second type of beverage ingredients when it is detected that the second information in container 140 meets the second preset condition.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 FIG. is a schematic diagram of the detection of the first information / second information in an embodiment of the control method for a beverage output device according to the present application. When the user instruction is the third instruction, first output the first type of beverage ingredients, and the detection component 170 detects the distance Hc. The distance Hc is the vertical distance between the beverage outlet 100a and the opening edge of the container 140. When stopping outputting the first type of beverage ingredients, the distance between the beverage outlet 100a and the top of the first type of beverage ingredients is Hc + h1, where h1 is the minimum vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the top of the first type of beverage ingredients when the first type of beverage ingredients cannot splash out of the container 140, obtained based on data statistics or experience. When outputting the first type of beverage ingredients according to the user instruction, the detection component 170 continuously detects and confirms the vertical distance H1 between the beverage outlet 100a and the top of the first type of beverage ingredients. When it is determined that H1 - Hc > h1, continue to output the first type of beverage ingredients; when it is determined that H1 - Hc ≤ h1, it means that splashing of the first type of beverage ingredients will occur if the first type of beverage ingredients are further loaded, and at this time, stop outputting the first type of beverage ingredients. The first information meeting the first preset condition means that H1 - Hc ≤ h1 is satisfied.

[0090] After the output of the first type of beverage ingredients is completed, output the second type of beverage ingredients. When stopping outputting the second type of beverage ingredients, the distance between the beverage outlet 100a and the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredients is Hc + h2, where h2 is the minimum vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredients when the second type of beverage ingredients cannot splash out of the container 140, obtained based on data statistics or experience. When outputting the second type of beverage ingredients according to the user instruction, the detection component 170 continuously detects and confirms the vertical distance H2 between the beverage outlet 100a and the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredients. When it is determined that H2 - Hc > h2, continue to output the second type of beverage ingredients; when it is determined that H2 - Hc ≤ h2, it means that splashing of the second type of beverage ingredients will occur if the second type of beverage ingredients are further loaded, and at this time, stop outputting the second type of beverage ingredients. The second information meeting the second preset condition means that H2 - Hc ≤ h2 is satisfied.

[0091] It should be noted that outputting the first type of drink ingredient first and then the second type of drink ingredient can prevent the liquid level of the first type of drink ingredient and / or the second type of drink ingredient from splashing. In other embodiments, it can also be outputting the second type of drink ingredient first and then the first type of drink ingredient.

[0092] According to an embodiment of the present application, the first information is the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the top of the first type of drink ingredient, and the first preset condition is that the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the top of the first type of drink ingredient is less than or equal to a first preset value; the second information is the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the liquid level of the second type of drink ingredient, and the second preset condition is that the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the liquid level of the second type of drink ingredient is less than or equal to a second preset value; wherein, the first preset value is greater than the second preset value. The first preset value can be 3 cm, 5 cm, 8 cm, 10 cm, 15 cm, etc., and the second preset value can be 1 cm, 2 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm, 7 cm, etc. Specifically, the first information is the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the top of the first type of drink ingredient, that is, H1 - Hc. The first preset condition is H1 - Hc ≤ the first preset value, that is, when the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the top of the first type of drink ingredient is less than or equal to the first preset value, stop outputting the first type of drink ingredient. The second information is the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the liquid level of the second type of drink ingredient, that is, H2 - Hc. The second preset condition is H2 - Hc ≤ the second preset value, that is, when the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the liquid level of the second type of drink ingredient is less than or equal to the second preset value, stop outputting the second type of drink ingredient. It should be noted that in other embodiments, it is not limited that the first preset condition is that the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the top of the first type of drink ingredient is less than or equal to the first preset value, and the second preset condition is that the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the liquid level of the second type of drink ingredient is less than or equal to the second preset value. It can also be less than other distances, which is not limited here.

[0093] In some embodiments, the beverage output device 100 further includes a water receiving box 161 and a prompting component 162. The prompting component 162 is configured to output a prompting message. A water level sensor 1611 is disposed in the water receiving box 161. Both the prompting component 162 and the water level sensor 1611 are connected to the processor 180. The water receiving box 161 is located under the carrying platform 130. The control method of the beverage output device 100 further includes: in response to the step of stopping the downward movement of the beverage output port 100a, determining whether the water level in the water receiving box 161 reaches a preset water level according to the detection signal obtained by the water level sensor 1611; if so, the prompting component 162 outputs a prompting message; if not, outputting a first type of beverage ingredient and / or outputting a second type of beverage ingredient to the container 140 for receiving the beverage according to a user instruction, and simultaneously continuously determining whether the water level in the water receiving box 161 reaches the preset water level according to the detection signal obtained by the water level sensor 1611, and if so, stopping the output of the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the output of the second type of beverage ingredient and outputting a prompting message.

[0094] Specifically, the beverage output device 100 further includes a water receiving box 161 located under the carrying platform 130. A water level sensor 1611 is disposed in the water receiving box 161. The control method of the beverage output device 100 further includes the following steps:

[0095] Step S1061: In response to the step of stopping the downward movement of the beverage output port 100a, determining whether the water level in the water receiving box 161 reaches a preset water level according to the detection signal obtained by the water level sensor 1611.

[0096] Generally, after the beverage output port 100a moves downward to a proper position, the beverage output device 100 outputs a first type of beverage ingredient and / or a second type of beverage ingredient to the container 140 according to a user instruction. To avoid situations such as the user temporarily removing the container 140, moving the container 140, or replacing the container 140, which may easily cause the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient output from the beverage output port 100a to fill the water receiving box 161 and then cause the second type of beverage ingredient to overflow. Therefore, by providing the water level sensor 1611, the water level in the water receiving box 161 can be detected to control the output or closing of the beverage output port 100a.

[0097] If so, the prompting component 162 outputs a prompting message.

[0098] If the detection signal obtained by the water level sensor 1611 determines that the water level in the water receiving box 161 reaches the preset water level, it means that if the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient enters the water receiving box 161, it will cause the second type of beverage ingredient in the water receiving box 161 to overflow. Therefore, at this time, the beverage output device 100 will not output the first type of beverage ingredient and / or output the second type of beverage ingredient. In addition, step S1062 can also be executed: the prompting component 162 outputs a prompt message to remind the user to clean the water receiving box 161 in time. The prompting component 162 can be a display screen, an LED lamp, a speaker, a vibrator, etc. The prompt message can be the text or picture output by the display screen; the light or flash emitted by the LED lamp; the sound played by the speaker; the vibration generated by the vibrator, etc.

[0099] If not, then execute step S104: output the first type of beverage ingredient and / or output the second type of beverage ingredient to the container 140 for receiving the beverage according to the user instruction. At the same time, continuously keep judging whether the water level in the water receiving box 161 reaches the preset water level according to the detection signal obtained by the water level sensor 1611. If so, stop outputting the first type of beverage ingredient and / or outputting the second type of beverage ingredient and output the prompt message.

[0100] This embodiment can be understood as follows. After the beverage output port 100a moves downward to a suitable position, if the detection signal obtained by the water level sensor 1611 determines that the water level in the water receiving box 161 does not reach the preset water level, then output the first type of beverage ingredient and / or output the second type of beverage ingredient to the container 140 for receiving the beverage according to the user instruction. During the process of outputting the first type of beverage ingredient and / or outputting the second type of beverage ingredient, continue to obtain the detection signal of the water level sensor 1611 and judge whether the water level in the water receiving box 161 reaches the preset water level. If the water level in the water receiving box 161 does not reach the preset water level, continue to output the first type of beverage ingredient and / or output the second type of beverage ingredient; if the water level in the water receiving box 161 reaches the preset water level, immediately stop outputting the first type of beverage ingredient and / or outputting the second type of beverage ingredient and output the prompt message. In this embodiment, by keeping synchronously detecting whether the water level in the water receiving box 161 reaches the preset water level during the process of outputting the first type of beverage ingredient and / or outputting the second type of beverage ingredient, it is possible to avoid situations such as the user temporarily taking away the container 140, moving the container 140 or replacing the container 140 during the process of outputting the beverage ingredient, which may easily cause the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient output by the beverage output port 100a to fill the water receiving box 161 and then cause the second type of beverage ingredient to overflow. Therefore, by continuously detecting the water level in the water receiving box 161 through the water level sensor 1611, the output or closing of the beverage output port 100a is controlled. After stopping outputting the first type of beverage ingredient and / or outputting the second type of beverage ingredient, the beverage output port can also be controlled to move in the initial direction to facilitate the removal of the container and the cleaning of the water receiving box.

[0101] In some embodiments, between the step S101 of receiving a user instruction and the step S102 of moving the beverage outlet 100a downward from the initial position, the following steps are further included:

[0102] Step S1061: In response to the step of receiving a user instruction, determine whether the water level in the water receiving box 161 reaches a preset water level according to the detection signal obtained by the water level sensor 1611.

[0103] If so, execute step S1062: The prompting component 162 outputs a prompt message to remind the user to clean the water receiving box 161 in time.

[0104] If not, execute step S102 of moving the beverage outlet 100a downward from the initial position.

[0105] In some embodiments, the detection information includes the vertical distance between the top of the content in the container 140 and the opening edge of the container 140.

[0106] Wherein, when there is only the first type of beverage ingredient in the container 140, the vertical distance between the top of the content in the container 140 and the opening edge of the container 140 is the first information.

[0107] When there is only the second type of beverage ingredient in the container 140, the vertical distance between the top of the content in the container 140 and the opening edge of the container 140 is the second information.

[0108] When the content in the container 140 includes a mixture of the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient, if the first type of beverage ingredient sinks to the bottom of the second type of beverage ingredient or suspends in the second type of beverage ingredient, the vertical distance between the top of the content in the container 140 and the opening edge of the container 140 is the second information; if the first type of beverage ingredient floats on the second type of beverage ingredient and the distance between the top of the first type of beverage ingredient protruding from the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient and the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient is small, for example, it can be less than 2 mm, less than 3 mm, less than 5 mm, etc., the vertical distance between the top of the content in the container 140 and the opening edge of the container 140 is the second information or the first information; if the first type of beverage ingredient floats on the second type of beverage ingredient and the distance between the top of the first type of beverage ingredient protruding from the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient and the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient is large, for example, it can be greater than or equal to 5 mm, greater than or equal to 8 mm, greater than or equal to 1 cm, etc., the vertical distance between the top of the content in the container 140 and the opening edge of the container 140 is the first information.

[0109] This application also provides a beverage output device 100. Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3, the beverage output device 100 of this embodiment includes an instruction receiving component 120, a beverage output port 100a, a moving component 152, a sensing component 110, and a processor 180. The instruction receiving component 120 is used to receive user instructions. The user instructions include a first instruction, a second instruction, and a third instruction.

For example, ice cubes, crushed ice, red beans, mung beans, peanuts, nata de coco, taro balls, milk jelly, jelly, turtle jelly, fruit puree, taro puree, ice cream, puffed food, baked goods, pearls in pearl milk tea, etc.; the second type of beverage ingredients includes ingredients with high fluidity. For example, water, fruit juice, milk, coffee, cola, soy milk, etc. The moving component 152 is connected to the beverage output port 100a. The moving component 152 is used to move the beverage output port 100a. The sensing component 110 is located above the carrier 130. The carrier 130 is used to carry the container 140. The container 140 is used to hold the beverage. The sensing component 110 is relatively fixed to the beverage output port 100a. The sensing component 110 is used to move synchronously with the beverage output port 100a. The sensing component 110 includes a triggering part 111 and a microswitch 112. The triggering part 111 is used to trigger the microswitch 112 when it touches the opening edge of the container 140. The processor 180 is connected to the instruction receiving component 120, the moving component 152, and the microswitch 112. The processor 180 is used to execute the control method of the beverage output device 100 described in any of the above embodiments.

[0110] Specifically, the container 140 is placed on the carrier 130. The instruction receiving component 120 receives the user instruction. The moving component 152 controls the beverage output port 100a to rise or fall. The sensing component 110 moves synchronously with the beverage output port 100a. The triggering part 111 of the sensing component 110 is used to trigger the microswitch 112 of the sensing component 110 when it touches the opening edge of the container 140, so that the beverage output port 100a stops moving downward. When the triggering part 111 touches the opening edge of the container 140, it triggers the microswitch 112, so that the beverage output port 100a stops moving downward, and controls the beverage output port 100a to output the first type of beverage ingredients and / or output the second type of beverage ingredients. During the process of the beverage output device 100 outputting the first type of beverage ingredients and / or outputting the second type of beverage ingredients, when the detection information in the container 140 meets the preset conditions, it automatically stops outputting the first type of beverage ingredients and / or outputting the second type of beverage ingredients to avoid splashing of the first type of beverage ingredients and / or the second type of beverage ingredients.

[0111] The moving component 152 is connected between the beverage outlet 100a and the movement track 151. The movement track 151 has a first end 1511 away from the carrier 130 and a second end 1512 close to the carrier 130. The moving component 152 can move along the movement track 151 between the first end 1511 and the second end 1512 of the movement track 151 to drive the movement of the beverage outlet 100a. The first end 1511 and the second end 1512 of the movement track 151 can be its ends. Of course, the first end 1511 and the second end 1512 of the movement track 151 can also be its internal regions. The moving component 152 can move between the first end 1511 and the second end 1512 and can move to the first end 1511 and the second end 1512 of the movement track 151.

[0112] In some embodiments, when the instruction receiving component 120 does not receive a user instruction, the beverage outlet 100a can be located at the initial position, where the initial position is located at the first end 1511. When the instruction receiving component 120 receives a user instruction, the beverage outlet 100a moves downward from the initial position, that is, the beverage outlet 100a moves from the first end 1511 to the second end 1512.

[0113] The sensing component 110 includes a triggering part 111 and a microswitch 112. The triggering part 111 is movably arranged at the edge of the beverage outlet 100a and is connected to the microswitch 112. The triggering part 111 is used to trigger the microswitch 112 when touching the opening edge of the container 140. After the microswitch 112 is triggered, the beverage outlet 100a stops moving downward, and the beverage outlet 100a outputs the first type of beverage ingredients and / or the second type of beverage ingredients to the container 140 for receiving beverages according to the user instruction, that is, by making the triggering part 111 touch the opening edge of the container 140 and then outputting the first type of beverage ingredients and / or the second type of beverage ingredients to the container 140 for receiving beverages, preventing the second type of beverage ingredients and / or the first type of beverage ingredients from splashing, thus avoiding waste.

[0116] In some embodiments, the beverage output device 100 further includes a water receiving box 161 and a prompting component 162. The prompting component 162 is configured to output a prompt message. A water level sensor 1611 is disposed inside the water receiving box 161. The water level sensor 1611 is connected to the processor 180, and the water receiving box 161 is located under the carrying platform 130.

[0117] After the beverage output port 100a moves downward to a suitable position, the beverage output device 100 outputs the first type of beverage ingredients and / or the second type of beverage ingredients to the container 140 according to a user instruction. To avoid situations such as the user temporarily removing the container 140, moving the container 140, or replacing the container 140, which may easily cause the first type of beverage ingredients and / or the second type of beverage ingredients output from the beverage output port 100a to fill the water receiving box 161 and then cause the second type of beverage ingredients to overflow. Therefore, by providing the water level sensor 1611, the water level in the water receiving box 161 can be detected to control the output or closing of the beverage output port 100a.

[0118] In some embodiments, after receiving a user instruction, the water level in the water receiving box 161 can also be detected by providing the water level sensor 1611 to control whether the beverage output port 100a moves downward from the initial position.

[0119] If the detection signal obtained by the water level sensor 1611 determines that the water level in the water receiving box 161 reaches a preset water level, it means that if the first type of beverage ingredients and / or the second type of beverage ingredients enter the water receiving box 161, it will cause the second type of beverage ingredients in the water receiving box 161 to overflow. Therefore, at this time, the beverage output device 100 does not output the first type of beverage ingredients and / or output the second type of beverage ingredients, or the beverage output port 100a does not move downward from the initial position, and the prompting component 162 outputs a prompt message to remind the user to clean the water receiving box 161 in time.

[0120] The detection component 170 is configured to detect detection information inside the container 140. The detection information includes first information and / or second information. Optionally, the first information in this embodiment is the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the top of the first type of beverage ingredients, and the second information is the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredients.

[0121] The detection component 170 is located above the carrier table 130. The detection component 170 is used to move synchronously with the drink outlet 100a, emit detection waves, and receive the echoes of the detection waves, and at the same time judge the detection information in the container 140 according to the echoes of the received detection waves. When the detection information in the container 140 meets the preset conditions, the drink outlet 100a stops outputting the first type of drink ingredients and / or outputs the second type of drink ingredients. The detection component 170 includes a transmitting part 171 and a receiving part 172. The transmitting part 171 is used to emit detection waves, and the receiving part 172 is used to receive the echoes of the detection waves. The detection component 170 is connected to the processor 180. The processor 180 controls the transmitting part 171 to emit detection waves. After the receiving part 172 receives the echo of the detection wave, it sends the echo signal of the detection wave to the processor 180, and the processor 180 judges whether the detection information meets the preset conditions.

[0122] Specifically, the transmitting part 171 emits detection waves, the receiving part 172 receives the echoes of the detection waves, and the processor 180 determines the vertical distance Hc between the drink outlet 100a and the opening edge of the container 140, the vertical distance H1 between the drink outlet 100a and the top of the first type of drink ingredients, and the vertical distance H2 between the drink outlet 100a and the liquid level of the second type of drink ingredients according to the echoes of the detection waves received by the receiving part 172, and judges whether the detection information meets the preset conditions based on the vertical distance Hc between the drink outlet 100a and the opening edge of the container 140, the vertical distance H1 between the drink outlet 100a and the top of the first type of drink ingredients, and the vertical distance H2 between the drink outlet 100a and the liquid level of the second type of drink ingredients.

[0123] In some embodiments, the detection component 170 is an ultrasonic detector or a time-of-flight detector.
