[0039] As shown in Figure 1 and 3 , the present application provides a control method for a beverage output device. Among them, the beverage output device 20 is used to output beverages to the container 26. The control method for the beverage output device includes the following:

[0040] S11: Receive a user instruction.

[0041] The user places the container 26 for receiving the beverage on the beverage output device 20. In one embodiment, the beverage output device 20 can receive the user instruction through human body sensing or a switch signal.

[0042] Among them, the user instruction includes a first instruction, a second instruction, and a third instruction. The first instruction is an instruction to first output the first type of beverage ingredient and then output the second type of beverage ingredient; the second instruction is an instruction to first output the second type of beverage ingredient and then output the first type of beverage ingredient; the third instruction is an instruction to output the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient simultaneously.

[0043] S12: Output the first type of drink ingredients and the second type of drink ingredients to container 26. The drink includes the first type of drink ingredients and the second type of drink ingredients. Specifically, when the drink output device 20 receives a user instruction, it can output the drink into container 26. After receiving the user instruction, it can first output the first type of drink ingredients and then the second type of drink ingredients; or first output the second type of drink ingredients and then the first type of drink ingredients; or output the first type of drink ingredients and the second type of drink ingredients simultaneously. At this time, the user can obtain a mixture of the first type of drink ingredients and the second type of drink ingredients through one instruction, without the user having to click or control the switch twice or even multiple times again, which is convenient and fast to operate.

[0044] Furthermore, the drink output device 20 includes a drink output port 22 and a moving component 23. Among them, the moving component 23 is connected to the drink output port 22. The moving component 23 is used to move the drink output port 22 to a target position. The drink output port 22 is used to output the first type of drink ingredients and the second type of drink ingredients. Among them, the target position includes a position where the vertical distance between the drink output port 22 and the opening edge of container 26 is in the range of 0 - 30 cm. When the drink output port 22 moves to the target position, the distance between the drink output port 22 and the opening edge of container 26 at this time is the suitable distance for outputting the first type of drink ingredients and the second type of drink ingredients. At this time, stop the drink output port 22 from moving downward. At this target position, the probability of drink splashing can be effectively reduced, improving the user experience.

[0045] It should be noted that the first type of drink ingredients includes ingredients with fixed shapes, elastic ingredients, and ingredients with poor fluidity. For example, ice cubes, crushed ice, red beans, mung beans, peanuts, pearls in pearl milk tea, nata de coco, taro balls, milk jelly, jelly, turtle jelly, fruit puree, taro puree, ice cream, puffed food, baked goods, etc. The second type of drink ingredients includes ingredients with high fluidity. For example, water, fruit juice, milk, coffee, cola, soy milk, etc., which are not limited here. The target position includes a position where the vertical distance between the drink output port 22 and the opening edge of container 26 is in the range of 0 - 60 cm. This vertical distance can be 0 cm, 4 cm, 5.6 cm, 10 cm, 14.6 cm, 17.6 cm, 25.6 cm, 27.1 cm, 29.8 cm, 36 cm, 44 cm, 57 cm, 60 cm, etc. Among them, when the drink output device 20 is a household device, the target position can be a position where the vertical distance between the drink output port 22 and the opening edge of container 26 is in the range of 0 - 40 cm; when the drink output device 20 is a commercial device, the target position can be a position where the vertical distance between the drink output port 22 and the opening edge of container 26 is in the range of 0 - 60 cm.

[0046] S13: Obtain the detection information in container 26.

[0047] Specifically, the beverage output device 20 includes a detection component 24. The detection component 24 is used to obtain detection information inside the container 26. Among them, the detection information includes the vertical distance between the top of the contents in the container 26 and the opening edge of the container 26. Specifically, the detection information includes first information, second information, and third information. The first information is the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 26 and the top of the first type of beverage ingredient inside the container 26. The second information is the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 26 and the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient inside the container 26. The third information is the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 26 and the top of the mixture of the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient inside the container 26.

[0048] It should be noted that the top of the mixture of the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient depends on the actual contents in the container, and can be the top of the first type of beverage ingredient or the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient.

[0049] Among them, when the first type of beverage ingredient is in a sinking or suspended state in the second type of beverage ingredient, if the second type of beverage ingredient has not submerged the first type of beverage ingredient, at this time, the top of the mixture of the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient is the top of the first type of beverage ingredient; if the second type of beverage ingredient has submerged the first type of beverage ingredient, at this time, the top of the mixture of the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient is the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient;

[0050] When the first type of beverage ingredient is in a floating state in the second type of beverage ingredient, if the distance from the top of the first type of beverage ingredient to the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient is small, for example, less than 2 mm, 3 mm, 5 mm, etc., at this time, the top of the mixture of the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient can be selected as the top of the first type of beverage ingredient or the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient; if the distance from the top of the first type of beverage ingredient to the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient is large, for example, greater than or equal to 5 mm, greater than or equal to 8 mm, greater than or equal to 10 mm, etc., at this time, the top of the mixture of the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient is the top of the first type of beverage ingredient.

[0051] S14: Determine whether the detection information meets the preset conditions. If so, stop outputting the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient.

[0052] Specifically, when it is detected that the first information, the second information, and / or the third information meet the preset conditions, the output of the beverage ingredient is stopped. The way of automatically stopping the output of the beverage ingredient can improve the convenience of operation.

[0053] Such as Figures 2 to 4 , when the detection information includes the first information and the third information, stopping the output of the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient includes:

[0054] S1411: Output the first type of drink ingredient to container 26.

[0055] After the moving component 23 moves to the target position, the drink outlet 22 outputs the first type of drink ingredient into container 26.

[0056] S1412: Obtain the first information in container 26.

[0057] The detection component 24 detects the vertical distance between the top of the first type of drink ingredient output into container 26 and the opening edge of container 26.

[0058] S1413: Determine whether the first information meets the first preset condition. If so, stop outputting the first type of drink ingredient.

[0059] By determining whether the vertical distance between the top of the first type of drink ingredient and the opening edge of container 26 meets the first preset condition. If it meets, stop outputting the first drink ingredient. Specifically, the drink output device 20 detects that the vertical distance between the drink outlet 22 and the opening edge of container 26 is Hc. When stopping outputting the first type of drink ingredient, the distance between the drink outlet 22 and the top of the first type of drink ingredient is Hc + h1, where h1 is the minimum vertical distance between the opening edge and the top of the first type of drink ingredient when the first type of drink ingredient cannot splash out of container 26, obtained based on data statistics or experience, and it is the first preset condition. When outputting the first type of drink ingredient according to the user instruction, the detection component 24 of the drink output device 20 detects and confirms that the vertical distance between the drink outlet 22 and the top of the first type of drink ingredient is H1. When it is determined that H1 - Hc > h1, continue to output the first type of drink ingredient; when it is determined that H1 - Hc ≤ h1, it means that splashing or other situations will occur if the first type of drink ingredient is output again, and at this time, stop outputting the first type of drink ingredient. Therefore, the first information meeting the first preset condition means that H1 - Hc ≤ h1 is satisfied.

[0060] S1414: Output the second type of drink ingredient to container 26.

[0061] After stopping outputting the first type of drink ingredient, start outputting the second type of drink ingredient into container 26.

[0062] S1415: Obtain the third information in container 26.

[0063] After the second type of drink ingredient is output into container 26, a mixture of the first type of drink ingredient and the second type of drink ingredient can be obtained in container 26. At this time, the detection component 24 can obtain the vertical distance between the top of the mixture and the edge of container 26.

[0064] S1416: Determine whether the third information meets the third preset condition. If so, stop outputting the second type of beverage ingredient.

[0065] When the distance between the top of the mixture and the edge of container 26 meets the third preset condition, stop outputting the second type of beverage ingredient at this time. Specifically, the beverage output device 20 detects that the distance between the beverage output port 22 and the opening edge of container 26 is Hc. When stopping the output of the second type of beverage ingredient, the vertical distance between the beverage output port 22 and the top of the mixture obtained in container 26 is Hc + h3, where h3 is the minimum vertical distance between the opening edge and the top of the mixture when the mixture in container 26 will not splash out according to data statistics or experience, and it is the third preset condition. When outputting the second type of beverage ingredient to container 26 continuously according to the user instruction, the beverage output device 20 detects and confirms the vertical distance H3 between the beverage output port 22 and the top of the mixture in real time. When it is determined that H3 - hc > h3, continue to output the second type of beverage ingredient. When it is determined that H3 - hc ≤ h3, it means that if the second type of beverage ingredient is output continuously, the mixture will splash. At this time, stop outputting the second type of beverage ingredient. The third information meeting the third preset condition is H3 - hc ≤ h3.

[0066] Please refer to Figures 5 to 7 , Figure 5 is a schematic flowchart of the process when the detection component of an embodiment of the control method for a beverage output device in this application receives the second information and the third information; Figure 6 is Figure 5 the detection schematic diagram of the beverage output device in Figure 7 is Figure 5 another detection schematic diagram of the beverage output device in

[0070] S1422: Obtain the second information in container 26.

[0071] The detection component 24 detects the vertical distance between the top of the second type of beverage ingredient output into container 26 and the opening edge of container 26.

[0072] S1423: Determine whether the second information meets the second preset condition. If so, stop outputting the second type of beverage ingredient.

[0073] By determining whether the vertical distance between the top of the second type of drink ingredient and the opening edge of the container 26 meets the second preset condition, if it meets, stop outputting the second drink ingredient. Specifically, the drink output device 20 detects that the vertical distance between the drink output port 22 and the opening edge of the container 26 is Hc. When stopping the output of the second type of drink ingredient, the distance between the drink output port 22 and the top of the second type of drink ingredient is Hc + h2, where h2 is the minimum vertical distance between the opening edge and the top of the second type of drink ingredient when the second type of drink ingredient cannot splash out of the container 26 obtained by data statistics or according to experience, and it is the second preset condition. When outputting the second type of drink ingredient according to the user instruction, the detection component 24 of the drink output device 20 detects and confirms that the vertical distance between the drink output port 22 and the liquid level of the second type of drink ingredient is H2. When it is determined that H2 - Hc > h2, continue to output the second type of drink ingredient; when it is determined that H2 - Hc ≤ h2, it means that splashing and other situations will occur if the second type of drink ingredient is output again, and at this time, stop outputting the second type of drink ingredient. Therefore, the second information meeting the preset condition is to satisfy H2 - Hc ≤ h2.

[0074] S1424: Output the first type of drink ingredient to the container 26.

[0075] After stopping the output of the second type of drink ingredient, start to output the first type of drink ingredient into the container 26.

At this time, the detection component 24 can obtain the vertical distance between the top of the mixture and the edge of the container 26.

[0078] S1426: Determine whether the third information meets the third preset condition. If so, stop outputting the first type of drink ingredient.

[0079] When the distance between the top of the mixture and the edge of the container 26 meets the third preset condition, the output of the first type of beverage ingredient is stopped at this time. Specifically, the beverage output device 20 detects that the distance between the beverage output port 22 and the opening edge of the container 26 is Hc. When the output of the first type of beverage ingredient is stopped, the vertical distance between the beverage output port 22 and the top of the mixture obtained in the container 26 is Hc + h3, where h3 is the minimum vertical distance between the opening edge and the top of the mixture when the mixture in the container 26 will not splash out according to data statistics or experience, and it is the third preset condition. When the first type of beverage ingredient is continuously output into the container 26 according to the user instruction, the beverage output device 20 detects and confirms the vertical distance H3 between the beverage output port 22 and the top of the mixture in real time. When it is determined that H3 - hc > h3, the first type of beverage ingredient is continuously output. When it is determined that H3 - hc ≤ h3, it means that if the first type of beverage ingredient is continuously output, the mixture will splash, and at this time, the output of the first type of beverage ingredient is stopped. The third information meeting the third preset condition is H3 - hc ≤ h3.

[0087] When the distance between the top of the mixture and the edge of the container 26 meets the third preset condition, the output of the mixture of the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient is stopped at this time. Specifically, the beverage output device 20 detects that the distance between the beverage output port 22 and the opening edge of the container 26 is Hc. When the output of the mixture of the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient is stopped, the vertical distance between the beverage output port 22 and the top of the mixture obtained in the container 26 is Hc + h3, where h3 is the minimum vertical distance between the opening edge and the top of the mixture when the mixture in the container 26 will not splash out according to data statistics or experience, and it is the third preset condition. When the output of the mixture of the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient to the container 26 is continued according to the user instruction, the beverage output device 20 detects and confirms the vertical distance H3 between the beverage output port 22 and the top of the mixture in real time. When it is determined that H3 - hc > h3, the output of the mixture of the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient is continued. When it is determined that H3 - hc ≤ h3, it means that if the output of the mixture of the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient is continued, the mixture will splash, and at this time, the output of the mixture of the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient is stopped. The third information meeting the third preset condition is H3 - hc ≤ h3.

[0088] Further, please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 which is a schematic diagram of a sub - process of an embodiment of the control method for a beverage output device of the present application. The detection component 24 includes a transmitting part and a receiving part. The step of obtaining the detection information in the container 26 further includes:

[0089] S131: The transmitting part emits a detection wave.

[0090] The transmitting part of the detection component 24 emits a detection wave to detect the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 26 and the top of the receptacle in the container 26. Among them, the detection wave can be emitted in real time, can be detected and emitted, or can be emitted after being triggered by other means.

[0091] S132: Determine whether the receiving part receives the echo of the detection wave within the first preset time period.

[0092] After the detection component 24 emits a detection wave, it receives the echo of the first detection wave. During the downward movement of the beverage outlet 22, the vertical distance between the beverage outlet 22 and the top of the receptacle in the container 26 is different, and the intensity and time of the echo of the detection wave received by the detection component 24 are both different. The calculation formula for the time when the detection component 24 receives the echo of the detection wave is t = 2St / V, where St is the vertical distance between the beverage outlet 22 and the top of the receptacle in the container 26, and V is the propagation speed of the detection wave of the detection component 24 in the air. When the detection component 24 receives the echo of the detection wave within a preset time shorter than the preset duration, it indicates that the top of the receptacle in the container 26 is within the sensing range of the detection component 24.

[0093] If so, execute S14.

[0094] S133: If not, maintain the state of outputting the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient to the container 26, and return to execute the step of the transmitting unit emitting the detection wave.

[0095] If the echo of the detection wave is not received within the first preset duration, it indicates that the detection component 24 moves upward to a suitable position where it can detect the information of the mixture in the container 26. At this time, maintain the state of the beverage outlet 22 moving downward, and at the same time, the detection component 24 emits a detection wave for continuous detection.

[0096] The control method for the beverage output device in this application can achieve one-key output of the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient. Specifically, the user only needs to directly output an instruction to the beverage output device 20 to obtain a mixture of the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient, without multiple operations, which is more simple and fast in operation and provides a better user experience.

[0097] Please refer to Figures 11 to 15 , Figure 11 is the front structure schematic diagram of the beverage output device of this application; Figure 12 is the structure schematic diagram of the beverage output device of this application; Figure 13 is the partial three-dimensional structure schematic diagram of an embodiment of the beverage output device of this application; Figure 14 is another three-dimensional structure schematic diagram of an embodiment of the beverage output device of this application; Figure 15 is the overall three-dimensional structure schematic diagram of an embodiment of the beverage output device of this application.

[0098] To solve the above problems, another embodiment of the present application provides a beverage output device 20. Among them, the beverage output device 20 includes an instruction receiving component 21, a beverage output port 22, a detection component 24, and a processor 25. Among them, the instruction receiving component 21 is used to receive user instructions. The beverage output port 22 is used to output the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient to the container 26. Among them, the beverage includes the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient. The detection component 24 is used to obtain the detection information in the container 26. The processor 25 is connected to the instruction receiving component 21, the moving component 23, and the detection component 24. The processor 25 is used to execute the control method of the beverage output device 20 in any of the above embodiments.

[0099] Specifically, the instruction receiving component 21 receives user instructions, and the beverage output port 22 outputs the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient into the container 26, so that the user can obtain a mixture of the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient through a one-key operation. At this time, the user does not need to issue two or more instructions, and the operation is more convenient. The detection component 24 emits a detection wave and receives the detection wave, and is used to detect the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 26 and the top of the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient in the container 26. When the detection component 24 is located where it can detect the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 26 and the top of the receiving object in the container 26, it controls the beverage output port 22 to output the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient. During the process of the beverage output device 20 outputting the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient, when the information detected by the detection component 24 meets the preset conditions, it automatically stops outputting the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient to avoid beverage splashing or overflowing. At this time, the user's operation experience is better. It should be noted that the preset conditions can be obtained through data statistics or experience. By comparing the detection information with the preset conditions, the output of the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient can be stopped in time to reduce beverage splashing or overflowing.

[0100] In another embodiment of the present application, the beverage output device 20 further includes a moving component 23, and the moving component 23 can drive the beverage output port 22 to move toward one end close to the container 26 and away from the container 26. Specifically, when the user needs to pick up the beverage, the moving component 23 moves toward one end close to the container 26, thereby avoiding beverage splashing. When the user finishes picking up the beverage, the moving component 23 moves toward one end away from the container 26. At this time, it is convenient for the user to take out the container 26.

[0101] In another embodiment of the present application, the instruction receiving component 21 may include an input area provided on a control button, a knob, a microphone, a camera, or a display screen of the beverage output device 20. Alternatively, the beverage output device 20 is used to connect to the user's client device in a wired or wireless manner, and the instruction receiving component 21 includes an antenna provided on the beverage output device 20, a connector, and an input area provided on a button, a knob, a microphone, a camera, or a display screen of the client device.

[0102] Further, the detection component 24 is an ultrasonic detector or a time-of-flight detector.

[0103] The processor 25 is an operation and control core, which is an execution unit for information processing and program running.

[0104] The beverage output device 20 further includes an information reading module 283. The information reading module 283 is used to read the user's information, and the user information includes the user's face information and voiceprint information. At this time, the beverage output device 20 can match the user's usage habits according to the user's face information or voiceprint information, and directly output the first type of beverage ingredients and the second type of beverage ingredients. The user only needs to input the relevant information when using the device for the first time, without the need to operate each time, which is more convenient and fast in operation and improves the convenience of user use.

[0105] According to an embodiment of the present application, the moving component 23 includes a first sleeve group 231. Among them, the first sleeve group 231 includes a plurality of first sleeves 2311 sleeved hierarchically. The first sleeve 2311 located at the innermost side is fixedly arranged at one end far away from the container. The remaining first sleeves 2311 can move relative to each other along the first direction X to achieve telescoping. The first direction X is the direction of approaching or moving away from the container 26. Among them, the first sleeve 2311 fixed at the end far away from the container 26 is the first fixed sleeve. The first sleeve 2311 farthest from the first fixed sleeve in the first sleeve group 231 is the first moving sleeve. The first moving sleeve is also the outermost first sleeve 2311 in the first sleeve group 231. The beverage outlet 22 is located on the first moving sleeve. The first sleeve group 231 of the present application is in the form of being smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, that is, the first sleeve 2311 at the innermost side is fixedly arranged at one end far away from the container, and the remaining first sleeves 2311 are hierarchically sleeved outside the innermost first sleeve 2311 and move relative to each other along the first direction X to achieve telescoping. Since the plurality of first sleeves 2311 move relative to each other along the first direction X to achieve telescoping, and the first sleeve 2311 at the innermost side is fixedly arranged at one end far away from the container, therefore, when the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient is output, the first moving sleeve extends towards the end close to the container 26. At this time, the first moving sleeve can drive the remaining first sleeves 2311 located between the first fixed sleeve and the first moving sleeve to all extend towards the end close to the container 26. At this time, splashing can be avoided during the output of the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient. After the output of the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the output of the second type of beverage ingredient is completed, the first moving sleeve retracts from the end close to the container 26 towards the end far away from the container 26, and then can drive the other first sleeves 2311 located between the first fixed sleeve and the first moving sleeve to retract towards the end far away from the container 26. At this time, the user can avoid touching the beverage outlet 22 with their hands after taking the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient, which affects the user experience. And the first sleeve 2311 at the innermost side is fixed at the end far away from the container 26. Therefore, during the telescoping process of the first sleeve group 231, the first sleeve group 231 can remain relatively fixed with the end far away from the container, and then the relative positional relationship between the first sleeve group 231 and the end far away from the container remains unchanged, and further the entire telescoping process can be more stable. Therefore, the setting of this structure can facilitate the user to take the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient through the telescoping of the first sleeve group 231, so as to avoid splashing of the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient and affect the user experience.

[0106] According to an embodiment of the present application, a conveying channel (not shown in the figure) is formed inside the first sleeve group 231, and a first type of beverage ingredient output port 221 is formed at the bottom of the first moving sleeve. The beverage output port 22 includes the first type of beverage ingredient output port 221, and the first type of beverage ingredient output port 221 is formed at the bottom of the first moving sleeve. When the user takes the first type of beverage ingredient, the first type of beverage ingredient moves from the conveying channel toward the side of the first type of beverage ingredient output port 221 and is output from the output port. The first sleeve group 231 with a hollow structure inside forms a conveying channel, which can also facilitate the output of the first type of beverage ingredient during the process of the user taking the first type of beverage ingredient, and can make the output process of the first type of beverage ingredient smoother.

[0107] According to an embodiment of the present application, when the first sleeve group 231 is in the extended state, the inner diameter of the conveying channel gradually increases in the direction close to the beverage output port 22. The setting that the inner diameter of the conveying channel gradually increases can prevent the first type of beverage ingredient from getting stuck.

[0108] According to an embodiment of the present application, the beverage output device 20 further includes a second sleeve group 232. Among them, the second sleeve group 232 is sleeved outside the first sleeve group 231. The second sleeve group 232 includes a plurality of second sleeves 2322 sleeved in layers. The second sleeve 2322 located on the outermost side or the second sleeve 2322 located on the innermost side is fixedly arranged at one end away from the container 26, and the remaining second sleeves 2322 are relatively movable along the first direction X to achieve expansion and contraction. The first direction X is the direction of approaching or departing from the container 26. The second sleeve 2322 fixedly arranged at one end away from the container 26 is the second fixed sleeve, and the second sleeve 2322 in the second sleeve group 232 that is farthest from the second fixed sleeve is the second movable sleeve. The second movable sleeve is relatively fixed to the first movable sleeve in the first sleeve group 231, that is, the relative position relationship between the second movable sleeve and the first movable sleeve in the first sleeve group 231 remains unchanged. Specifically, when the second sleeve 2322 located on the outermost side is fixedly arranged at one end away from the container 26, the second sleeve group 232 has a structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom; when the second sleeve 2322 located on the innermost side is fixedly arranged at one end away from the container 26, the second sleeve group 232 has a structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom. When the user is taking the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient, since the second fixed sleeve is fixedly arranged at one end away from the container, and the second sleeve 2322 that is farthest from the second fixed sleeve, that is, the second movable sleeve, is relatively fixed to the first movable sleeve, that is, the relative position relationship between the second movable sleeve and the first movable sleeve remains unchanged. At this time, as the first movable sleeve extends towards the end close to the container 26, the first movable sleeve will drive the second movable sleeve to extend towards the end close to the container 26. Since a plurality of second sleeves 2322 are sleeved in layers, the other second sleeves 2322 will also extend towards the end close to the container 26. When both the second sleeve group 232 and the first sleeve group 231 extend towards the end close to the container 26, the distance between the first sleeve group 231 and the second sleeve group 232 and the container 26 is reduced. Further, when the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient is output, the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient will not splash everywhere, and the user experience is better. Further, since the second fixed sleeve is fixedly arranged at one end away from the container 26, the second sleeve group 232 can be more stable during the expansion and contraction process of the second sleeve group 232.

[0109] According to an embodiment of the present application, in order for the second type of beverage ingredient to be output from the beverage outlet 22, the beverage outlet 22 further includes a second type of beverage ingredient outlet 222. The beverage output device 20 further includes a delivery pipe 29, and the output end 291 of the delivery pipe 29 forms the second type of beverage ingredient outlet 222, and the output end 291 is relatively fixed to the first movable sleeve or the second movable sleeve. Specifically, when the user is taking the second type of beverage ingredient, the second type of beverage ingredient flows in the delivery pipe 29. When the second type of beverage ingredient flows to the output end 291 of the delivery pipe 29, at this time, the second type of beverage ingredient is output from the second type of beverage ingredient outlet 222. Since the output end 291 is relatively fixed to the first movable sleeve or the second movable sleeve, when the user is taking the second type of beverage ingredient, the first movable sleeve or the second movable sleeve extends towards the end close to the container 26, and thus the output end 291 can be close to the container 26, so that the second type of beverage ingredient will not splash everywhere when flowing into the container 26, thereby improving the user experience. At the same time, the delivery pipe 29 is arranged between the first sleeve group 231 and the second sleeve group 232. At this time, the second sleeve group 232 can play a certain role in shielding and protecting the first sleeve group 231 and other structural members such as the delivery pipe 29 located outside the first sleeve group 231, making the overall appearance more beautiful, and at the same time, it can also extend the service life of the first sleeve group 231 and the delivery pipe 29 and other structures.

[0110] In other embodiments, the delivery pipe 29 is arranged in the delivery channel formed in the first sleeve group 231, and the second type of beverage ingredient outlet 222 formed by the output end 291 of the delivery pipe 29 is embedded in the first type of beverage ingredient outlet 221.

[0111] The innermost first sleeve 2311 of the first sleeve group 231 is relatively fixed to the end far from the container 26, and the remaining first sleeves 2311 can move relatively in the direction close to or away from the container 26 to achieve expansion and contraction, and the first sleeve group 231 has a structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom.

[0112] The following lists the cases where the first sleeve group 231 has a structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom.

[0113] According to an embodiment of the present application, the beverage output device 20 includes a first sleeve group 231. Among them, the first sleeve group 231 includes a plurality of first sleeves 2311 sleeved in layers. The outermost first sleeve 2311 is fixedly arranged at one end away from the container 26. The remaining first sleeves 2311 can move relative to each other along the first direction X to achieve expansion and contraction. The first direction X is the direction of approaching or departing from the container 26. Among them, the outermost first sleeve 2311 fixedly arranged at one end away from the container 26 is the first fixed sleeve. The first sleeve 2311 in the first sleeve group 231 that is farthest from the first fixed sleeve is the first movable sleeve, and the first movable sleeve is also the innermost first sleeve 2311 in the first sleeve group 231. The beverage output port 22 is located in the second movable sleeve. The first sleeve group 231 in this embodiment is in the form of being larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, that is, the outermost first sleeve 2311 is fixedly arranged at one end away from the container 26, and the remaining first sleeves 2311 are hierarchically embedded in the outermost first sleeve 2311 and move relative to each other along the first direction X to achieve expansion and contraction. Since the plurality of first sleeves 2311 move relative to each other along the first direction X to achieve expansion and contraction, and the outermost first sleeve 2311 is fixedly arranged at one end away from the container 26, therefore, when the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient is output, the first movable sleeve extends towards the end close to the container 26. At this time, the first movable sleeve can drive all the other first sleeves 2311 between the first fixed sleeve and the first movable sleeve to extend towards the end close to the container 26. At this time, splashing can be avoided during the output of the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient. After the output of the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient is completed, the first movable sleeve retracts from the end close to the container 26 towards the end away from the container 26, and then can drive the other first sleeves 2311 between the first fixed sleeve and the first movable sleeve to retract towards the end away from the container 26. At this time, the user can avoid touching the beverage output port 22 after taking the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient, which affects the user experience. And the first fixed sleeve is fixed at one end away from the container. Therefore, during the expansion and contraction process of the first sleeve group 231, the first sleeve group 231 can remain relatively fixed with the end away from the container 26, and thus the entire expansion and contraction process can be more stable. Therefore, the setting of this structure can facilitate the user to take the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient through the expansion and contraction of the first sleeve group 231, so as to avoid splashing of the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient and affect the user experience.

[0114] According to an embodiment of the present application, a conveying channel (not shown in the figure) is formed inside the first sleeve group 231, and a first type of beverage ingredient output port 221 is formed at the bottom of the first movable sleeve. When the user takes the first type of beverage ingredient, the first type of beverage ingredient moves from the conveying channel toward the side of the first type of beverage ingredient output port 221 and is output from the output port. The first sleeve group 231 with a hollow structure inside forms a conveying channel, which can also facilitate the output of the first type of beverage ingredient during the process of the user taking the first type of beverage ingredient, and can make the output process of the first type of beverage ingredient smoother.

[0115] According to an embodiment of the present application, when the first sleeve group 231 is in the extended state, the inner diameter of the conveying channel gradually decreases in the direction close to the beverage output port 22. The setting of the gradually decreasing inner diameter of the conveying channel can gather the conveying path of the first type of beverage ingredient.

[0116] According to an embodiment of the present application, the beverage output device 20 further includes a second sleeve group 232. Among them, the second sleeve group 232 is sleeved outside the first sleeve group 231. The second sleeve group 232 includes a plurality of second sleeves 2322 sleeved hierarchically. The second sleeve 2322 located on the outermost side or the second sleeve 2322 located on the innermost side is fixedly arranged at one end away from the container 26. The second sleeve 2322 fixedly arranged at one end away from the container 26 is the second fixed sleeve. The second sleeve 2322 in the second sleeve group 232 that is farthest from the second fixed sleeve is the second movable sleeve, and the second movable sleeve is relatively fixed to the first movable sleeve in the first sleeve group 231. Specifically, when the second sleeve 2322 located on the outermost side is fixedly arranged at one end away from the container 26, the second sleeve group 232 has a structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom; when the second sleeve 2322 located on the innermost side is fixedly arranged at one end away from the container 26, the second sleeve group 232 has a structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom. When the user is taking the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient, since the second fixed sleeve is fixedly arranged at one end away from the container 26, and the second sleeve 2322 that is farthest from the second fixed sleeve, that is, the second movable sleeve, is relatively fixed to the first movable sleeve, at this time, as the first movable sleeve extends toward the end close to the container 26, the first movable sleeve will drive the second movable sleeve to extend toward the end close to the container 26. Since the plurality of second sleeves 2322 are sleeved hierarchically, the other second sleeves 2322 will also extend toward the end close to the container 26. When both the second sleeve group 232 and the first sleeve group 231 extend toward the end close to the container 26, the distance between the first sleeve group 231 and the second sleeve group 232 and the container 26 is reduced. Further, when the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient is output, the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient will not splash everywhere, and the user experience is better. Further, since the second fixed sleeve is fixedly arranged at one end away from the container 26, the second sleeve group 232 can be more stable during the telescopic process of the second sleeve group 232.

[0117] According to an embodiment of the present application, the first sleeve 2311 and the second sleeve 2322 correspond to each other one by one and are relatively fixed. Specifically, the first sleeve 2311 and the second sleeve 2322 can be connected in a one-to-one correspondence by adding a connecting member.

[0118] According to an embodiment of the present application, in order for the second type of beverage ingredient to be output from the beverage outlet 22, the beverage outlet 22 further includes a second type of beverage ingredient outlet 222. The beverage output device 20 further includes a delivery pipe 29. The output end 291 of the delivery pipe 29 forms the second type of beverage ingredient outlet 222, and the output end 291 is relatively fixed to the first movable sleeve or the second movable sleeve. Specifically, when the user is taking the second type of beverage ingredient, the second type of beverage ingredient flows in the delivery pipe 29. When the second type of beverage ingredient flows to the output end 291 of the delivery pipe 29, at this time, the second type of beverage ingredient is output from the second type of beverage ingredient outlet 222. Since the output end 291 is relatively fixed to the first movable sleeve or the second movable sleeve, when the user is taking the second type of beverage ingredient, the first movable sleeve or the second movable sleeve extends towards the end close to the container 26, and thus the output end 291 can be close to the container 26, so that the second type of beverage ingredient will not splash everywhere when flowing into the container 26, thereby improving the user's operation experience. At the same time, the delivery pipe 29 is arranged between the first sleeve group 231 and the second sleeve group 232. At this time, the second sleeve group 232 can play a certain role in shielding and protecting the first sleeve group 231 and other structural members such as the delivery pipe 29 located outside the first sleeve group 231, making the overall appearance more beautiful, and at the same time, it can also extend the service life of the first sleeve group 231 and the delivery pipe 29 and other structures.
