[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 which is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the beverage output device provided by the present application; Figure 2 which is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the beverage output device provided by the present application;

[0042] Figure 3 which is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the beverage output device provided by the present application; Figure 4 which is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the beverage output device provided by the present application. The present application provides a control method for a beverage output device 100. The beverage output device 100 has a sensing component 110 and a beverage output port 100a. The sensing component 110 is used to move synchronously with the beverage output port 100a. The beverage output port 100a is located above the carrying platform 131. The carrying platform 131 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 a fixed shape, elastic ingredients, and ingredients with poor fluidity. 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 food, 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 two sides of the carrying platform 131 also include a relatively arranged first side wall 132 and a second side wall 133. The sensing component 110 includes a relatively arranged first transmitting part 111 and a first receiving part 112. The first transmitting part 111 is movably arranged on the first side wall 132. The first receiving part 112 is movably arranged on the second side wall 133. The first transmitting part 111 and the first receiving part 112 both move synchronously with the beverage output port 100a. The first transmitting part 111 is used to emit a first detection wave, and the first receiving part 112 is used to receive the first detection wave.

[0043] Specifically, the first transmitting unit 111 and the first receiving unit 112 are located on the side of the beverage outlet 100a closer to the carrier 131, so that the detection wave transmission path between the first transmitting unit 111 and the first receiving unit 112 will not be blocked by the beverage outlet 100a. The first transmitting unit 111 and the first receiving unit 112 both move synchronously with the beverage outlet 100a, and the first transmitting unit 111 is disposed opposite to the first receiving unit 112 whether during the movement of the beverage outlet 100a or when the beverage outlet 100a stops moving.

[0044] The beverage output device 100 further includes 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 carrier 131. The detection component 170 is used to move synchronously with the beverage outlet 100a, emit a second detection wave, and receive the echo of the second detection wave, so as to determine whether the detection information in the container 140 meets the preset conditions according to the received echo of the second detection wave. When the detection information in the container 140 meets the preset conditions, the beverage outlet 100a stops outputting the first type of beverage ingredient and / or outputs the second type of beverage ingredient.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 which is a schematic flowchart of an implementation manner of the control method for the 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 the first type of beverage ingredient, the second instruction is an instruction to output the 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; moving the beverage outlet 100a downward from the initial position; in response to the first receiving unit 112 not receiving the first detection wave emitted by the first transmitting unit 111, stopping the downward movement of the beverage outlet 100a; in response to the step of stopping the downward movement of the beverage outlet 100a, outputting the first type of beverage ingredient and / or outputting 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, stopping outputting the first type of beverage ingredient and / or outputting the second type of beverage ingredient.

[0046] Specifically, during the downward movement of the beverage outlet 100a, the first transmitting unit 111 and the first receiving unit 112 move downward synchronously with the beverage outlet 100a. When the first receiving unit 112 does not receive the first detection wave emitted by the first transmitting unit 111, it indicates that the detection wave transmission path between the first transmitting unit 111 and the first receiving unit 112 is blocked by the container 140. At this time, the step of stopping the downward movement of the beverage outlet 100a is executed. The beverage output device 100 detects the vertical distance between the beverage outlet 100a and the opening edge of the container 140, as well as the vertical distance between the beverage outlet 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.

[0047] The control method of the beverage output device 100 includes the following steps:

[0048] Step S101: Receive a user instruction.

[0049] The user instruction includes a first instruction, a second instruction, and a third instruction. Among them, the first instruction is an instruction to output the first type of beverage ingredient, the second instruction is an instruction to output the 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.

[0050] The user instruction is received by the instruction receiving component 120 provided on the beverage output device 100. After the instruction receiving component 120 receives the user instruction, it can transmit the user instruction to the processor 180. The user instruction includes a first instruction, a second instruction, and a third instruction. Among them, the third instruction is an instruction to first output the first type of beverage ingredient and then output the second type of beverage ingredient. With this instruction, a mixture of the first type of beverage ingredient and the second type of beverage ingredient can be obtained without the user clicking or controlling the instruction receiving component 120 twice.

[0051] In addition, during the process of outputting the first type of beverage ingredient, the inertia of the first type of beverage ingredient is greater. Outputting the first type of beverage ingredient first and then the second type of beverage ingredient can also prevent the second type of beverage ingredient from splashing when 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 first output the second type of beverage ingredient and then output the first type of beverage ingredient. In this embodiment of the application, the case where the third instruction is an instruction to first output the first type of beverage ingredient and then output the second type of beverage ingredient is taken as an example for illustration.

[0052] 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 wired or wirelessly connected to the user's client, 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.

[0053] Step S102: The beverage outlet 100a moves downward from the initial position.

[0054] The detection information includes the first information and / or the second information.

[0055] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first information 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.

[0056] After receiving the user instruction, the beverage outlet 100a moves downward from the initial position. The downward movement 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 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 information of the top of the first type of beverage ingredient in the container 140, and / or the information of the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient in the container 140, 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 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.

[0057] After the beverage outlet 100a moves downward from the initial position, that is, after performing step S102, step S103 is further included.

[0058] Step S103: In response to the first receiving part 112 not receiving the first detection wave emitted by the first transmitting part 111, stop the downward movement of the beverage outlet 100a.

[0059] During the process of performing the step of moving the beverage outlet 100a downward from the initial position, if the first receiving part 112 does not receive the first detection wave emitted by the first transmitting part 111, it indicates that the detection wave transmission path between the first transmitting part 111 and the first receiving part 112 is blocked by the container 140. At the same time, it indicates that the position where the beverage outlet 100a is located is close to the opening edge of the container 140, and the detection component 170 is located at a suitable position where it can detect the opening edge of the container 140 and the information of the top of the first type of beverage ingredient in the container 140 and / or the information of the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient. At this time, perform the step of stopping the downward movement of the beverage outlet 100a.

[0060] In some embodiments, the induction component 110 can be an infrared pair tube. Correspondingly, the first detection wave can be infrared rays.

[0061] After the beverage outlet 100a stops moving downward, that is, after step S103 is executed, step S104 is further included.

[0062] 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.

[0063] 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.

[0064] 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.

[0065] After the embodiments of the present application execute steps S101, S102, and S103, 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 carrying platform 131, improving the adaptability between the beverage output device 100 and the container 140.

[0066] 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 outputting the second type of beverage ingredient.

[0067] 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 time to reduce beverage splashing or overflowing.

[0068] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 6 to 7 , Figure 6 is a schematic flowchart of an implementation manner of the control method for a beverage output device provided by the present application; Figure 7It is a schematic flowchart of an implementation manner of the control method for a beverage output device provided by this application. Step S105 may include: determining whether the detection information in container 140 meets a preset condition; if so, performing the step of stopping the output of the first type of beverage ingredient and / or outputting the second type of beverage ingredient, and if not, returning to perform the step of determining whether the detection information in container 140 meets the preset condition. Specifically, step S105 may include the following steps:

[0069] Step S1051: Determine whether the detection information in container 140 meets a preset condition.

[0070] If the detection component 170 detects that the detection information in container 140 meets the preset condition, then perform step S1052: Stop outputting the first type of beverage ingredient and / or output the second type of beverage ingredient.

[0071] If the detection component 170 detects that the detection information in container 140 does not meet the preset condition, then return to perform step S1051 of determining whether the detection information in container 140 meets the preset condition.

[0072] It should be noted that the first information is the vertical distance between the opening edge of container 140 and the top of the first type of beverage ingredient. When the detection component 170 detects that the vertical distance between the opening edge of container 140 and the top of the first type of beverage ingredient meets the preset condition, stop outputting the first type of beverage ingredient; the second information is the vertical distance between the opening edge of container 140 and the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient. When the detection component 170 detects that the vertical distance between the opening edge of container 140 and the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient meets the preset condition, stop outputting the second type of beverage ingredient. When the detection component 170 detects that the detection information in container 140 does not meet the preset condition, return to perform the step of determining whether the detection information in container 140 meets the preset condition. In this implementation manner, by setting a preset condition, when the detection component 170 detects that the detection information in container 140 meets the preset condition, automatically stop outputting the first type of beverage ingredient and / or output the second type of beverage ingredient, avoiding splashing and overflow of the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient.

[0073] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figures 6 to 7 and step S103 may include the following steps:

[0074] Step 1031: The first transmitting part 111 emits a first detection wave.

[0075] The beverage output device 100 controls the first transmitting part 111 of the induction component 110 to emit a first detection wave to detect whether the beverage output port 100a reaches a suitable position for outputting the second type of beverage ingredients and / or the first type of beverage ingredients. Among them, the first detection wave can be emitted in real time, can be emitted at intervals, or can be emitted after being triggered by other means.

[0076] Step 1032: Determine whether the first receiving part 112 receives the first detection wave.

[0077] After the first transmitting part 111 emits the first detection wave, the first receiving part 112 receives the first detection wave. During the downward movement of the beverage output port 100a, the first transmitting part 111 and the first receiving part 112 also move downward synchronously with the beverage output port 100a. If the first receiving part 112 can receive the first detection wave, it means that the detection wave transmission path between the first transmitting part 111 and the first receiving part 112 is not blocked by the container 140 carried on the carrying platform 131. If the first receiving part 112 cannot receive the first detection wave, it means that the detection wave transmission path between the first transmitting part 111 and the first receiving part 112 is blocked by the container 140 carried on the carrying platform 131. At the same time, it means that the beverage output port 100a is close to the opening edge of the container 140 carried on the carrying platform 131. At this time, the beverage output port 100a is located at a suitable position for outputting the second type of beverage ingredients and / or the first type of beverage ingredients, and the opening edge of the container 140 is within the sensing range of the detection component 170; at the same time, when the container 140 contains the first type of beverage ingredients and / or the second type of beverage ingredients, the top of the first type of beverage ingredients and / or the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredients are also within the sensing range of the detection component 170.

[0078] If not, then execute step S1033: Stop the downward movement of the beverage output port 100a.

[0079] If the first receiving part 112 cannot receive the first detection wave, it means that the detection wave transmission path between the first transmitting part 111 and the first receiving part 112 is blocked by the container 140 carried on the carrying platform 131. At the same time, it means that the beverage output port 100a is close to the opening edge of the container 140 carried on the carrying platform 131, and the detection component 170 is located at a suitable position where it can detect the opening edge of the container 140 and the detection information inside the container 140. At this time, stop the downward movement of the beverage output port 100a.

[0080] If so, then execute step S1034: Maintain the state of the downward movement of the beverage output port 100a, and at the same time return to execute step S1031: The first transmitting part 111 emits the first detection wave.

[0081] If the first receiving unit 112 can receive the first detection wave, it indicates that the detection wave transmission path between the first transmitting unit 111 and the first receiving unit 112 is not blocked by the container 140 carried on the carrying platform 131, and the detection component 170 has not yet moved down to a suitable position where it can detect the opening edge of the container 140 and the detection information inside the container 140. At this time, the state of the beverage outlet moving downward is maintained, and at the same time, the step of the first transmitting unit 111 emitting the first detection wave is returned for execution.

[0082] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 3 , the beverage outlet 100a has a movement track 151. The movement track 151 has a first end 1511 away from the carrying platform 131 and a second end 1512 close to the carrying platform 131. The initial position is at the first end 1511. The second end 1512 is the lowest position where the beverage outlet 100a can move down. 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.

[0083] Between the step of determining whether the first receiving unit 112 receives the first detection wave and the step of maintaining the state of the beverage outlet 100a moving downward and returning to execute the step of the first transmitting unit 111 emitting the first detection wave, that is, after executing step S1031: determining whether the first receiving unit 112 receives the first detection wave, and before executing step S1033: maintaining the state of the beverage outlet 100a moving downward and returning to execute step S1031: the first transmitting unit 111 emitting the first detection wave, there is also step S1034a.

[0084] Step S1034a: Determine whether the beverage outlet 100a reaches the second end 1512.

[0085] The second end 1512 is the lowest position where the beverage outlet 100a can move down.

[0086] If so, execute step S1032: Stop the beverage outlet 100a from moving downward.

[0087] If it is determined that the beverage outlet 100a reaches the second end 1512, it indicates 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.

[0088] If not, execute step S1033: Maintain the state of the beverage outlet 100a moving downward, and at the same time return to execute step S1031: The first transmitting unit 111 emits the first detection wave.

[0089] 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 the 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 the preset conditions, 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.

[0090] Specifically, for steps S104 and S105, 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 the 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 the preset conditions, the specific method includes:

[0091] Method 1: 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.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8FIG. 0 is a schematic diagram of first information detection according to an embodiment of the control method for a 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 output port 100a and the opening edge of the container 140. When the output of the first type of beverage ingredient stops, the distance between the beverage output port 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, obtained based on data statistics or experience. When the first type of beverage ingredient is output according to a user instruction, the detection component 170 detects and confirms in real time the vertical distance H1 between the beverage output port 100a and the top of the first type of beverage ingredient. When it is determined that H1 - Hc > h1, the output of the first type of beverage ingredient continues; when it is determined that H1 - Hc ≤ h1, it means that the first type of beverage ingredient will splash if the output of the first type of beverage ingredient continues, and at this time, the output of the first type of beverage ingredient stops. The first information conforms to the first preset condition, that is, H1 - Hc ≤ h1 is satisfied.

[0093] Method 2: In response to the user instruction being the second instruction, the second type of beverage ingredient is output according to the user instruction, and in response to detecting that the second information in the container 140 conforms to the second preset condition, the output of the second type of beverage ingredient stops.

[0094] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of second information detection according to an embodiment of the control method for a 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 output port and the opening edge of the container 140. When the output of the second type of beverage ingredient stops, the distance between the beverage output port 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 the second type of beverage ingredient is output according to a user instruction, the detection component 170 detects and confirms in real time the vertical distance H2 between the beverage output port 100a and the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient. When it is determined that H2 - Hc > h2, the output of the second type of beverage ingredient continues; when it is determined that H2 - Hc ≤ h2, it means that the second type of beverage ingredient will splash if the second type of beverage ingredient continues to be filled, and at this time, the output of the second type of beverage ingredient stops. The second information conforms to the second preset condition, that is, H2 - Hc ≤ h2 is satisfied.

[0095] 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.

[0096] Please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 FIG. is a schematic diagram of the first information / second information detection of 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 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.

[0097] 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 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.

[0098] It should be noted that outputting the first type of beverage ingredient first and then the second type of beverage ingredient can prevent the liquid surface of the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient from splashing. In other embodiments, it may also be to output the second type of beverage ingredient first and then the first type of beverage ingredient.

[0099] 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 beverage ingredient, 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 beverage ingredient is less than or equal to the first preset value, the second information is the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the liquid surface of the second type of beverage ingredient, and the second preset condition is that the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the liquid surface of the second type of beverage ingredient is less than or equal to the second preset value, where 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 beverage 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 beverage ingredient is less than or equal to the first preset value, stop outputting the first type of beverage ingredient. The second information is the vertical distance between the opening edge of the container 140 and the liquid surface of the second type of beverage 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 surface of the second type of beverage ingredient is less than or equal to the second preset value, stop outputting the second type of beverage 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 beverage 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 surface of the second type of beverage ingredient is less than or equal to the second preset value. It may also be less than other distances, which is not limited here.

[0100] In some embodiments, the beverage output device 100 further includes a water receiving box 161 and a prompt component 162. The prompt component 162 is used to output prompt information. A water level sensor 1611 is provided in the water receiving box 161, and the water receiving box 161 is located under the carrying platform 131. Both the prompt component 162 and the water level sensor 1611 are connected to the processor 180. 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 prompt component 162 outputs prompt information; if not, the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient is output to the container 140 for receiving the beverage according to the user instruction, and at the same time, 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 prompt information.

[0101] Specifically, the beverage output device 100 further includes a water receiving box 161 located under the carrying platform 131, and a water level sensor 1611 is provided in the water receiving box 161. The control method of the beverage output device 100 further includes the following steps:

[0102] 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.

[0103] Generally, after the beverage output port 100a moves downward to a suitable position, the beverage output device 100 outputs the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient to the container 140 according to the user instruction. To avoid situations such as the user temporarily taking away 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 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 setting 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.

[0104] If so, execute step S1062: The prompt component 162 outputs prompt information.

[0105] 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. A prompt component 162 outputs a prompt message to remind the user to clean the water receiving box 161 in time. The prompt 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.

[0106] If not, then step S104 is executed: 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 outputting the prompt message.

[0107] 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 the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient is output 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 outputting 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 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, the water level in the water receiving box 161 is continuously detected by the water level sensor 1611 to control the output or closing of the beverage output port 100a. 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.

[0108] 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:

[0109] 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.

[0110] 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.

[0111] If not, execute step S102 of moving the beverage outlet 100a downward from the initial position.

[0112] 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.

[0113] Wherein, when there is only the first type of beverage ingredient in the content 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.

[0114] When there is only the second type of beverage ingredient in the content 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.

[0115] 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 is suspended 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 surface of the second type of beverage ingredient and the liquid surface 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 surface of the second type of beverage ingredient and the liquid surface 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.

[0116] This application also provides a beverage output device 100. Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 4, the beverage output device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application includes an instruction receiving component 120, a beverage output port 100a, a moving component 152, a sensing component 110, and a processor 180. The beverage output port 100a is used to output beverages. The beverages include the first type of beverage ingredients and / or the second type of beverage ingredients. 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. Among them, the first instruction is an instruction to output the first type of beverage ingredients, the second instruction is an instruction to output the second type of beverage ingredients, and the third instruction is an instruction to output the first type of beverage ingredients and the second type of beverage ingredients. 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, nata de coco, taro balls, milk jelly, jelly, turtle jelly, fruit puree, taro puree, ice cream, puffed food, baked food, 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 used to move synchronously with the beverage output port 100a. On both sides of the carrying platform 131 of the beverage output device 100, there are also a first side wall 132 and a second side wall 133 arranged oppositely. The sensing component 110 includes a first transmitting part 111 and a first receiving part 112 arranged oppositely. The first transmitting part 111 is movably arranged on the first side wall 132, and the first receiving part 112 is movably arranged on the second side wall 133. The first transmitting part 111 and the first receiving part 112 both move synchronously with the beverage output port 100a, and whether during the movement of the beverage output port 100a or when the beverage output port 100a stops moving, the first transmitting part 111 and the first receiving part 112 are arranged oppositely. The first transmitting part 111 is used to emit a first detection wave, and the first receiving part 112 is used to receive the first detection wave. The sensing component 110 can be an infrared pair tube. Correspondingly, the first detection wave can be infrared rays. The processor 180 is connected to the instruction receiving component 120, the moving component 152, and the sensing component 110. The processor 180 is used to execute the control method of the beverage output device 100 described in any of the above embodiments.

[0117] Specifically, the container 140 is placed on the carrier 131. The instruction receiving component 120 receives user instructions. The moving component 152 further includes a motor 1521. The processor 180 is connected to the motor 1521 of the moving component 152 to control the movement of the moving component 152 through the motor 1521, so that the moving component 152 drives the beverage outlet 100a to rise or fall. The sensing component 110 moves synchronously with the beverage outlet 100a. When the first receiving unit 112 cannot receive the first detection wave after the first transmitting unit 111 emits the first detection wave, it indicates that the detection wave transmission path between the first transmitting unit 111 and the first receiving unit 112 is blocked by the container 140 placed on the carrier 131. At the same time, it indicates that the beverage outlet 100a is close to the opening edge of the container 140 placed on the carrier 131. At this time, the processor 180 controls the moving component 152 to stop moving, so that the beverage outlet 100a stops moving downward, and controls the beverage outlet 100a to output the first type of beverage ingredient and / or output the second type of beverage ingredient. During the process of the beverage output device 100 outputting the first type of beverage ingredient and / or outputting the second type of beverage ingredient, when the detection information in the container 140 meets the preset conditions, the output of the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the output of the second type of beverage ingredient are automatically stopped to avoid splashing of the first type of beverage ingredient and / or the second type of beverage ingredient.

[0118] In some embodiments, the beverage output device 100 further includes a motion track 151. The moving component 152 is connected between the beverage outlet 100a and the motion track 151. The motion track 151 has a first end 1511 far from the carrier 131 and a second end 1512 close to the carrier 131. The moving component 152 can move along the motion track 151 between the first end 1511 and the second end 1512 of the motion track 151 to drive the beverage outlet 100a to move. The first end 1511 and the second end 1512 of the motion track 151 can be its ends. Of course, the first end 1511 and the second end 1512 of the motion 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 motion track 151.

[0119] 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.

[0120] In some embodiments, the beverage output device 100 further includes a transmission assembly 153 and a perspective window 134. The perspective window 134 is oppositely arranged on the first side wall 132 and the second side wall 133. The perspective window 134 has a first side 1341 and a second side 1342 oppositely arranged in the direction from the beverage output port 100a to the carrying platform 131. The transmission assembly 153 is connected to the moving assembly 152, and the transmission assembly 153 can move synchronously with the moving assembly 152. The transmission assembly 153 includes a first transmission part 1531, a second transmission part 1532 and a connecting rod 1533. The connecting rod 1533 extends from the first side wall 132 to the second side wall 133. The first transmission part 1531 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 1533 close to the first side wall 132, and the second transmission part 1532 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 1533 close to the second side wall 133. The first transmission part 1531 corresponds to the perspective window 134 of the first side wall 132, and the second transmission part 1532 corresponds to the perspective window 134 of the second side wall 133. The first transmitting part 111 of the sensing assembly 110 is arranged on the side of the first transmission part 1531 facing the perspective window 134, and the first transmitting part 111 corresponds to the perspective window 134. The first receiving part 112 of the sensing assembly 110 is arranged on the side of the second transmission part 1532 facing the perspective window 134, and the first receiving part 112 corresponds to the perspective window 134.

[0121] The first transmitting part 111 and the first receiving part 112 are located on the side of the beverage output port 100a biased towards the carrying platform 131, so that the detection wave transmission path between the first transmitting part 111 and the first receiving part 112 will not be blocked by the beverage output port 100a. When the beverage output port 100a is in the initial position, the first transmitting part 111 and the first receiving part 112 can be located on the first side 1341 of the perspective window 134. When the beverage output port 100a moves downward from the initial position, the first transmitting part 111 and the first receiving part 112 move from the first side 1341 of the perspective window 134 towards the second side 1342.

[0122] In some embodiments, the beverage output device 100 further includes a water receiving box 161 and a prompting assembly 162. The prompting assembly 162 is used to output a prompting message. A water level sensor 1611 is arranged in the water receiving box 161. The water level sensor 1611 is connected to the processor 180. The water receiving box 161 is located under the carrying platform 131.

[0123] After the beverage outlet 100a moves downward to a suitable position, the beverage outlet 100a stops moving downward. 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 outlet 100a to fill the water receiving box 161 and then cause the second type of beverage ingredients to overflow. Therefore, by setting 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 outlet 100a.

[0124] In some embodiments, after receiving a user instruction, the water level in the water receiving box 161 can also be detected by the water level sensor 1611 to control whether the beverage outlet 100a moves downward from the initial position.

[0125] 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 ingredients and / or the second type of beverage ingredients enter the water receiving box 161, the second type of beverage ingredients in the water receiving box 161 will overflow. Therefore, at this time, the beverage output device 100 will not output the first type of beverage ingredients and / or output the second type of beverage ingredients, or the beverage outlet 100a will not move downward from the initial position, and the prompt component 162 outputs a prompt message to remind the user to clean the water receiving box 161 in time.

[0126] The beverage output device 100 further includes a detection component 170. The detection component 170 is located above the carrier table 131. The detection component 170 is used to move synchronously with the beverage outlet 100a, emit a second detection wave, and receive the echo of the second detection wave. The detection component 170 includes a second transmitting part 171 and a second receiving part 172. The second transmitting part 171 is used to emit the second detection wave, and the second receiving part 172 is used to receive the echo of the second detection wave. When the detection information in the container 140 meets the preset conditions, the beverage outlet 100a stops outputting the first type of beverage ingredients and / or outputting the second type of beverage ingredients.

[0127] In some embodiments, the detection component 170 is connected to the processor 180. The processor 180 controls the second transmitting part 171 to emit the second detection wave. After the second receiving part 172 receives the echo of the second detection wave, the echo signal of the second detection wave is sent to the processor 180, and the processor 180 determines whether the detection information meets the preset conditions.

[0128] Specifically, the second transmitting unit 171 emits a second detection wave, the second receiving unit 172 receives the echo of the second detection wave, and the processor 180 determines the vertical distance Hc between the beverage outlet 100a and the opening edge of the container 140, the vertical distance H1 between the beverage outlet 100a and the top of the first type of beverage ingredient, and the vertical distance H2 between the beverage outlet 100a and the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient based on the echo of the second detection wave received by the second receiving unit 172, and determines whether the detection information meets the preset conditions based on the vertical distance Hc between the beverage outlet 100a and the opening edge of the container 140, the vertical distance H1 between the beverage outlet 100a and the top of the first type of beverage ingredient, and the vertical distance H2 between the beverage outlet 100a and the liquid level of the second type of beverage ingredient.

[0129] In some embodiments, the detection component 170 is an ultrasonic detector or a time-of-flight detector.
