[0038] This application provides a control method for a beverage output device 100. Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the beverage output device provided by this application. The beverage output device 100 includes a carrier 110, a second detection component 150, a beverage output end 131, a beverage output component 140, a first detection component 160 and a processor 180 (see Figure 7 ). The carrier 110 is used to place the container 120. The container 120 is used to hold beverages, and the beverages include water, fruit juice, milk, coffee, carbonated beverages or soy milk, etc., but are not limited thereto. The beverages may also include ingredients, 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 processor 180 is connected to the first detection component 160, the second detection component 150 and the beverage output component 140. The processor 180 is used to execute the control method of the beverage output device 100.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2It is a schematic flowchart of an implementation manner of the control method for a beverage output device provided by this application. The control method of the beverage output device 100 includes: detecting that a container 120 is placed on the carrier 110, and the container 120 is used to hold beverages; the beverage output end 131 moves downward from the initial position. The beverage output end 131 has a beverage output assembly 140, and the beverage output assembly 140 has a beverage output port 141, and the beverage output port 141 is used to output beverages; detecting a stop signal and stopping the downward movement of the beverage output end 131; in response to the step of stopping the downward movement of the beverage output end 131, the beverage output assembly 140 extends into the container 120 that holds beverages, and the beverage output port 141 outputs beverages to the container 120. In response to detecting that the liquid level in the container 120 meets a preset condition, stop outputting beverages.

[0040] Specifically, the beverage output end 131, the beverage output assembly 140, the first detection assembly 160, and the second detection assembly 150 of the beverage output device 100 are located above the carrier 110. The first detection assembly 160 and the second detection assembly 150 are arranged on one side of the beverage output end 131 facing the carrier 110. The beverage output end 131 can be in a cylindrical shape. For example, the beverage output end 131 can be in a cylindrical shape or a square cylindrical shape, but is not limited thereto. The beverage output assembly 140 is telescopically arranged inside the beverage output end 131. The beverage output assembly 140 has a beverage output port 141. The first detection assembly 160, the second detection assembly 150, and the beverage output assembly 140 can move synchronously with the beverage output end 131. During the downward movement of the beverage output end 131, the first detection assembly 160, the second detection assembly 150, and the beverage output assembly 140 descend synchronously. The first detection assembly 160 is used to detect whether a container 120 is placed on the carrier 110. The second detection assembly 150 is used to generate a stop signal. For example, the second detection assembly 150 is used to generate a stop signal when it touches the opening edge of the container 120 to stop the downward movement of the beverage output end 131. The processor 180 is used to control the beverage output assembly 140 to extend into the container 120 that holds beverages and control the beverage output port 141 to output beverages to the container 120 in response to the step of stopping the downward movement of the beverage output end 131; the processor 180 is further used to stop outputting beverages in response to detecting that the liquid level in the container 120 meets a preset condition.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first detection assembly 160 can also be arranged on the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112 on both sides of the carrier 110.

[0042] The control method of the beverage output device 100 includes the following steps:

[0043] Step S101: Detect that a container 120 is placed on the carrier 110.

[0044] In some embodiments, the beverage output device 100 can detect whether a container 120 is placed on the carrier 110 through the first detection component 160. The first detection component 160 includes at least one of an infrared sensor, a camera, and an ultrasonic sensor.

[0045] The infrared sensor includes a first transmitting part and a first receiving part. The infrared sensor can be arranged at the beverage output end 131. The first transmitting part is used for transmitting a first detection wave, and the first receiving part is used for receiving the echo of the first detection wave transmitted by the first transmitting part, converting the received echo of the first detection wave into an electrical signal, and transmitting the electrical signal to the processor 180. The processor 180 processes the electrical signal and analyzes whether a container 120 is placed on the carrier 110. Of course, the infrared sensor can also be relatively arranged on the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112 on both sides of the carrier 110. The first transmitting part is used for transmitting a first detection wave, and the first receiving part is used for receiving the first detection wave transmitted by the first transmitting part. If the first receiving part can receive the first detection wave, it means that the detection wave transmission path between the first transmitting part and the first receiving part is not blocked by the container 120, so it means that no container is placed on the carrier 110; if the first receiving part cannot receive the first detection wave, it means that the detection wave transmission path between the first transmitting part and the first receiving part has been blocked by the container 120, so it means that a container is placed on the carrier 110. In some embodiments, the first transmitting part can be an infrared emitting diode, the first receiving part can be an infrared receiving diode, and the first detection wave can be infrared radiation.

[0046] The camera can be arranged at the beverage output end 131. The camera can move synchronously with the beverage output end 131, and the carrier 110 is within the field of view of the camera. When a container 120 is placed on the carrier 110, the container 120 is also within the field of view of the camera. The information collected by the camera is used as the basis for judging whether a container 120 is placed on the carrier 110.

[0047] The ultrasonic sensor can be arranged at the beverage output end 131. The ultrasonic sensor can move synchronously with the beverage output end 131. The ultrasonic sensor includes a second transmitting part and a second receiving part. The second transmitting part is used for emitting a second detection wave, and the second receiving part is used for receiving the echo of the second detection wave. The processor 180 judges whether a container 120 is placed on the carrier 110 based on the echo of the second detection wave received by the second receiving part.

[0048] Step S102: The beverage output end 131 moves downward from the initial position.

[0049] In response to detecting that a container 120 is placed on the carrier 110, the beverage output end 131 moves downward from the initial position. The downward movement of the beverage output end 131 facilitates the beverage output assembly 140 to extend into the container 120 for receiving the beverage, preventing beverage splashing during beverage output due to the relatively large distance between the beverage output port 141 of the beverage output assembly 140 and the container 120.

[0050] In some embodiments, the beverage output device 100 further includes a moving assembly 130. The beverage output end 131 is fixed or integrally formed with the moving assembly 130. The moving assembly 130 is configured to move the beverage output end 131. The beverage output device 100 further includes a top wall 113. The top wall 113 is disposed opposite to the carrier 110. A first track (not shown in the figure) is provided inside the top wall 113. The first track has a first end away from the carrier 110 and a second end close to the carrier 110. The moving assembly 130 is disposed on the first track and is movable along the first track. When one end of the moving assembly 130 away from the carrier 110 is located at the first end of the first track, the beverage output end 131 is at the initial position. In response to detecting that a container 120 is placed on the carrier 110, the end of the moving assembly 130 away from the carrier 110 moves from the first end towards the second end, so that the beverage output end 131 moves downward from the initial position.

[0051] Step S103: Detect a stop signal and stop the downward movement of the beverage output end 131.

[0052] The second detection component 150 is disposed on the side of the beverage output end 131 facing the carrier 110. The second detection component 150 moves synchronously with the beverage output end 131. The second detection component 150 is configured to generate a stop signal. For example, during the downward movement of the beverage output end 131, the second detection component 150 generates a stop signal when it touches the opening edge of the container 120. The second detection component 150 is connected to the processor 180, and the processor 180 controls the beverage output end 131 to stop moving downward in response to the stop signal generated by the second detection component 150.

[0053] In some embodiments, the second detection component 150 includes at least one of a pressure sensor and a microswitch. When the second detection component 150 is a pressure sensor, the stop signal is a pressure signal; when the second detection component 150 is a microswitch, the stop signal is a trigger signal; when the second detection component 150 includes a pressure sensor and a microswitch, the stop signal is a superimposed signal of the pressure signal and the trigger signal, or the stop signal is a superimposed signal of the pressure signal, the trigger signal and other signals, which can reduce the misjudgment rate.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 3 to 4 , Figure 3 which is a schematic flowchart of an implementation manner of the control method for a beverage output device provided by the present application;Figure 4 This is a schematic flowchart of an implementation manner of the control method for a beverage output device provided by this application. Step S103 may include: determining whether the second detection component 150 generates a stop signal; if so, performing the step of stopping the downward movement of the beverage output end 131; if not, maintaining the state of the downward movement of the beverage output end 131, and returning to perform the step of determining whether the second detection component 150 generates a stop signal. Specifically, step S103 includes the following steps:

[0055] Step S1031: Determine whether the second detection component 150 generates a stop signal.

[0056] It should be noted that step S1031 is to determine whether the second detection component 150 generates a stop signal. If the second detection component 150 generates a stop signal, it indicates that the second detection component 150 has touched the opening edge of the container 120. At this time, the beverage output component 140 is located at a suitable position that can extend into the container 120. If the second detection component 150 does not generate a stop signal, it indicates that there is still a certain distance between the second detection component 150 and the opening edge of the container 120. In the embodiment of this application, the second detection component 150 is connected to the processor 180, and the processor 180 can be used to determine whether the second detection component 150 generates a stop signal.

[0057] If so, perform step S1032: Stop the downward movement of the beverage output end 131.

[0058] If not, perform step S1033: Maintain the state of the downward movement of the beverage output end 131, and return to perform step S1031: Determine whether the second detection component 150 generates a stop signal.

[0059] If the second detection component 150 does not generate a stop signal within the preset time period, it indicates that there is still a certain distance between the second detection component 150 and the opening edge of the container 120, and the beverage output component 140 has not moved down to a suitable position that can extend into the container 120. At this time, maintain the state of the downward movement of the beverage output end 131, and at the same time return to perform the step of determining whether the second detection component 150 generates a stop signal.

[0060] After stopping the downward movement of the beverage output end 131, that is, after performing step S103, step S104 is further included.

[0061] Step S104: The beverage output component 140 extends into the container 120 for receiving the beverage.

[0062] The beverage output component 140 is telescopically arranged at the beverage output end 131 and is configured to extend into the container 120 in response to a stop signal generated by the second detection component 150. The beverage output port 141 is located at the end of the beverage output component 140 facing the carrier 110. By extending the beverage output component 140 into the container 120 for receiving the beverage, splashing of the beverage can be avoided when the beverage is output from the beverage output port 141. Meanwhile, since the beverage output port 141 is located inside the container 120, contact between dust in the air and the beverage can be reduced, making the beverage more hygienic.

[0063] Step S105: The beverage output port 141 outputs the beverage to the container 120, and stops outputting the beverage in response to detecting that the liquid level in the container 120 meets a preset condition.

[0064] In response to the beverage output component 140 extending into the container 120 for receiving the beverage, the beverage output port 141 outputs the beverage to the container 120, and stops outputting the beverage when it is detected that the liquid level in the container 120 meets a preset condition.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, when it is detected that the second detection component 150 generates a stop signal, the downward movement of the beverage output end 131 is stopped, so that the beverage output component 140 can extend into the container 120 for receiving the beverage, which can lower the position of the beverage output port 141 of the beverage output component 140 and make it located inside the container 120 to reduce splashing of the liquid during the liquid discharging process. Meanwhile, during the process of outputting the beverage, when it is detected that the liquid level in the container 120 meets a preset condition, the output of the beverage is automatically stopped to avoid liquid overflow, so that the beverage will not splash and overflow.

[0066] The control method of the beverage output device 100 further includes a step of controlling the beverage output component 140 to retract into the beverage output end 131 in response to stopping the output of the beverage, and the beverage output end 131 moves to the initial position, thereby realizing the homing of the beverage output component 140 and the beverage output end 131.

[0067] In some embodiments, the beverage output component 140 includes a pipeline 142 and a first liquid level sensor 143. The beverage output port 141 is located at the end of the pipeline 142 facing the carrier 110. The first liquid level sensor 143 is arranged on the outer wall of the pipeline 142. The first liquid level sensor 143 is used to detect the liquid level in the container 120.

[0068] The pipeline 142 is connected to a beverage storage bin (not shown in the figure) of the beverage output device 100. In the embodiments of the present application, the beverage in the beverage storage bin can be introduced into the container 120 carried on the carrying platform 110 through the pipeline 142. The first liquid level sensor 143 is arranged on the outer wall of the pipeline 142, and the first liquid level sensor 143 is isolated from the inner wall of the pipeline 142 to prevent the beverage in the pipeline 142 from interfering with the first liquid level sensor 143, thereby improving the accuracy of the first liquid level sensor 143 in detecting the liquid level in the container 120.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first liquid level sensor 143 includes a first conductive member 1431 and a second conductive member 1432. The first conductive member 1431 is located at one end of the pipeline 142 close to the beverage output port 141. The second conductive member 1432 is located on the side of the first conductive member 1431 away from the beverage output port 141. The first conductive member 1431 is electrically connected to the second conductive member 1432. The beverage output port 141 is used to output the beverage to the container 120. When the first conductive member 1431 and the second conductive member 1432 are in a disconnected state, it indicates that the liquid level in the container 120 has not reached the second conductive member 1432. When the first conductive member 1431 and the second conductive member 1432 are in a conductive state, that is, when the first conductive member 1431 and the second conductive member 1432 form a current path, it indicates that the liquid level in the container 120 has reached the second conductive member 1432.

[0070] Please refer to Figures 3 to 4 simultaneously, in step S105, when the beverage output port 141 outputs the beverage to the container 120 and stops outputting the beverage in response to detecting that the liquid level in the container 120 meets the preset conditions, it may include: the beverage output port 141 outputs the beverage to the container 120; determining whether the first conductive member 1431 and the second conductive member 1432 form a current path; if not, maintaining the state of the beverage output port 141 outputting the beverage to the container 120, and returning to execute the step of determining whether the first conductive member 1431 and the second conductive member 1432 form a current path; if so, executing the step of stopping outputting the beverage. Specifically, step S105 may include the following steps:

[0071] Step S1051: The beverage output port 141 outputs the beverage to the container 120.

[0072] In response to the beverage output assembly 140 extending into the container 120 for receiving the beverage, the beverage output port 141 outputs the beverage to the container 120. The beverage output port 141 is located at the end of the pipeline 142 facing the carrying platform 110, so that when the beverage output port 141 outputs the beverage to the container 120, the beverage is not likely to splash.

[0073] Step S1052: Determine whether the first conductive member 1431 and the second conductive member 1432 form a current path.

[0074] In response to the step of the beverage outlet 141 outputting a beverage to the container 120, determine whether an electric current path is formed between the first conductive member 1431 and the second conductive member 1432.

[0075] If not, maintain step S1051: the beverage outlet 141 outputs a beverage to the container 120, and at the same time return to execute step S1052: determine whether an electric current path is formed between the first conductive member 1431 and the second conductive member 1432.

[0076] If an electric current path has not been formed between the first conductive member 1431 and the second conductive member 1432, it indicates that the liquid level in the container 120 has not reached the second conductive member 1432, indicating that the beverage outlet 141 can continue to output a beverage to the container 120. At this time, execute step S1051 of the beverage outlet 141 outputting a beverage to the container 120, and at the same time return to execute step S1052 of determining whether an electric current path is formed between the first conductive member 1431 and the second conductive member 1432.

[0077] If so, execute step S1053: stop outputting the beverage.

[0078] If an electric current path is formed between the first conductive member 1431 and the second conductive member 1432, it indicates that the liquid level in the container 120 has reached the second conductive member 1432, indicating that if the beverage outlet 141 continues to output a beverage to the container 120, beverage splashing or overflowing will occur. At this time, the beverage outlet 141 stops outputting the beverage.

[0079] In some embodiments, the beverage output device 100 further includes a liquid receiving box 171 and a prompting component 172. A second liquid level sensor 1711 is disposed in the liquid receiving box 171. The liquid receiving box 171 is located under the carrying platform 110. The second liquid level sensor 1711 is used to detect the liquid level in the liquid receiving box 171, and the prompting component 172 is used to output a prompting message.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 3 , the control method of the beverage output device 100 further includes: in response to the step of the beverage output end 131 moving downward, determine whether the liquid level in the liquid receiving box 171 reaches a preset liquid level according to the detection signal obtained by the second liquid level sensor 1711; if so, the prompting component 172 outputs a prompting message; if not, execute the step of the beverage output component 140 extending into the container 120 for receiving the beverage.

[0081] Specifically, the beverage output device 100 further includes a liquid receiving box 171 located under the carrying platform 110. A second liquid level sensor 1711 is disposed in the liquid receiving box 171. The control method of the beverage output device 100 further includes the following steps:

[0082] Step S1061: In response to the step of stopping the downward movement of the beverage output end 131, determine whether the liquid level in the liquid receiving box 171 reaches a preset liquid level according to the detection signal obtained by the second liquid level sensor 1711.

[0083] Generally, after the beverage output end 131 stops moving downward, the beverage output assembly 140 extends into the container 120 for receiving the beverage, and the beverage output port 141 outputs the beverage to the container 120. To avoid situations such as a user temporarily removing the container 120, moving the container 120, or replacing the container 120, which may easily cause the beverage output from the beverage output port 141 to fill the liquid receiving box 171 and result in liquid overflow. Therefore, by setting the second liquid level sensor 1711, the liquid level in the liquid receiving box 171 can be detected to control the output or closing of the beverage output port 141.

[0084] If so, the prompting component 172 outputs a prompt message.

[0085] If the detection signal obtained by the second liquid level sensor 1711 determines that the liquid level in the liquid receiving box 171 reaches the preset liquid level, it means that if liquid enters the liquid receiving box 171, it will cause the liquid in the liquid receiving box 171 to overflow. Therefore, at this time, the beverage output assembly 140 will not extend into the container 120 for receiving the beverage. Additionally, step S1062 can be executed: the prompting component 172 outputs a prompt message to remind the user to clean the liquid receiving box 171 in a timely manner.

[0086] The prompting component 172 can be a display screen, an LED light, 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 light; the sound played by the speaker; the vibration generated by the vibrator, etc.

[0087] If not, the beverage output assembly 140 extends into the container 120 for receiving the beverage.

[0088] If it is determined according to the detection signal obtained by the second liquid level sensor 1711 that the liquid level in the liquid receiving box 171 does not reach the preset liquid level, then step S104 is executed: the beverage output assembly 140 extends into the container 120 for receiving the beverage.

[0089] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 , the control method of the beverage output device 100 further includes: in response to the step of detecting that a container 120 is placed on the carrier 110, determine whether the liquid level in the liquid receiving box 171 reaches a preset liquid level according to the detection signal obtained by the second liquid level sensor 1711; if so, the prompting component 172 outputs a prompt message; if not, execute the step of moving the beverage output end 131 downward from the initial position. Specifically, the control method of the beverage output device 100 further includes the following steps:

[0090] Before the step S102 of moving the beverage output end 131 downward from the initial position after detecting that the container 120 is placed on the carrier 110 in step S101, the following steps are further included:

[0091] Step S1061: In response to the step of detecting that the container 120 is placed on the carrier 110, determine whether the liquid level in the liquid receiving box 171 reaches a preset liquid level according to the detection signal obtained by the second liquid level sensor 1711.

[0092] If so, execute step S1062: Output a prompt message by the prompt component 172 to remind the user to clean the liquid receiving box 171 in time.

[0093] If not, execute step S102 of moving the beverage output end 131 downward from the initial position.

[0094] Please refer to Figures 5 to 6 , Figure 5 which is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the beverage output device provided by the present application; Figure 6 which is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the beverage output device provided by the present application;

[0095] Figure 7 which is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the beverage output device provided by the present application; also refer to Figure 1 . The present application also provides a beverage output device 100. The beverage output device 100 includes a first detection component 160, a second detection component 150, a beverage output end 131, and a processor 180. The beverage output end 131, the first detection component 160, and the second detection component 150 are located above the carrier 110. The first detection component 160 and the second detection component 150 are arranged on the side of the beverage output end 131 facing the carrier 110. The beverage output end 131 can be in a cylindrical shape. For example, the beverage output end 131 can be in a cylindrical shape or a square cylindrical shape, but is not limited thereto. The beverage output end 131 has a beverage output component 140, and the beverage output component 140 is telescopically arranged inside the beverage output end 131. The beverage output component 140 has a beverage output port 141. The beverage output port 141 is used to output beverages. Beverages include water, juice, milk, coffee, carbonated beverages, or soy milk, etc., but are not limited thereto. The beverage may also include ingredients, such as 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. During the downward movement of the beverage output end 131, the first detection component 160, the second detection component 150, and the beverage output component 140 descend synchronously.

[0096] In some embodiments, the first detection component 160 may also be arranged on the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112 on both sides of the carrier 110.

[0097] The first detection component 160 is used to detect whether a container 120 is placed on the carrier 110, and the container 120 is used to hold a beverage. The beverage output end 131 is used to move downward from the initial position. The second detection component 150 is used to generate a stop signal to stop the downward movement of the beverage output end 131. The processor 180 is used to control the beverage output component 140 to extend into the container 120 for holding the beverage and control the beverage output port 141 to output the beverage into the container 120 in response to the step of stopping the downward movement of the beverage output end 131. The processor 180 is further used to control the beverage output port 141 to stop outputting the beverage when it detects that the liquid level in the container 120 meets a preset condition.

[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, when it is detected that the second detection component 150 generates a stop signal, the downward movement of the beverage output end 131 is stopped, so that the beverage output component 140 can extend into the container 120 for holding the beverage, which can lower the position of the beverage output port 141 of the beverage output component 140 and make it located inside the container 120 to reduce the splashing of the liquid during the liquid output process. At the same time, during the process of outputting the beverage, when it is detected that the liquid level in the container 120 meets the preset condition, the output of the beverage is automatically stopped to avoid liquid overflow, so that the beverage will not splash and overflow.

[0099] In some embodiments, the second detection component 150 is used to move synchronously with the beverage output end 131. The second detection component 150 includes at least one of a pressure sensor and a microswitch.

[0100] When the second detection component 150 is a pressure sensor, the stop signal is a pressure signal; when the second detection component 150 is a microswitch, the stop signal is a trigger signal; when the second detection component 150 includes a pressure sensor and a microswitch, the stop signal is a superimposed signal of the pressure signal and the trigger signal, or the stop signal is a superimposed signal of the pressure signal, the trigger signal and other signals, which can reduce the misjudgment rate.

[0101] In some embodiments, the first detection component 160 includes at least one of an infrared sensor, a camera, and an ultrasonic sensor.

[0102] The infrared sensor includes a first transmitting part and a first receiving part. The infrared sensor can be arranged at the beverage output end 131. The first transmitting part is used for transmitting a first detection wave, and the first receiving part is used for receiving the echo of the first detection wave transmitted by the first transmitting part, converting the received echo of the first detection wave into an electrical signal, and transmitting the electrical signal to the processor 180. The processor 180 processes the electrical signal and analyzes whether a container 120 is placed on the carrier 110. Of course, the infrared sensor can also be arranged oppositely on the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112 on both sides of the carrier 110. The first transmitting part is used for transmitting a first detection wave, and the first receiving part is used for receiving the first detection wave transmitted by the first transmitting part. If the first receiving part can receive the first detection wave, it indicates that the detection wave transmission path between the first transmitting part and the first receiving part is not blocked by the container 120, thereby indicating that no container is placed on the carrier 110. If the first receiving part cannot receive the first detection wave, it indicates that the detection wave transmission path between the first transmitting part and the first receiving part has been blocked by the container 120, thereby indicating that a container is placed on the carrier 110. In some embodiments, the first transmitting part can be an infrared emitting diode, the first receiving part can be an infrared receiving diode, and the first detection wave can be infrared radiation.

[0103] The camera can be arranged at the beverage output end 131. The camera can move synchronously with the beverage output end 131, and the carrier 110 is within the field of view of the camera. When a container 120 is placed on the carrier 110, the container 120 is also within the field of view of the camera. The information collected by the camera is used as the basis for judging whether a container 120 is placed on the carrier 110.

[0104] The ultrasonic sensor can be arranged at the beverage output end 131. The ultrasonic sensor can move synchronously with the beverage output end 131. The ultrasonic sensor includes a second transmitting part and a second receiving part. The second transmitting part is used for emitting a second detection wave, and the second receiving part is used for receiving the echo of the second detection wave. The processor 180 judges whether a container 120 is placed on the carrier 110 based on the echo of the second detection wave received by the second receiving part.

[0105] In some embodiments, the beverage output device 100 further includes a moving component 130. The beverage output end 131 is fixed or integrally formed on the moving component 130, and the moving component 130 is used for moving the beverage output end 131.

[0106] In some embodiments, the beverage output device 100 further includes a top wall 113. The top wall 113 is disposed opposite to the carrier 110. The beverage output device 100 further includes a top wall 113. A first track (not shown in the figure) is provided inside the top wall 113. The first track has a first end away from the carrier 110 and a second end close to the carrier 110. The moving assembly 130 is disposed on the first track and is movable along the first track. When one end of the moving assembly 130 away from the carrier 110 is located at the first end of the first track, the beverage output end 131 is located at the initial position. In response to detecting that a container 120 is placed on the carrier 110, the moving assembly 130 moves in the direction from the first end to the second end, so that the beverage output end 131 moves downward from the initial position.

[0107] In some embodiments, the moving assembly 130 includes a first sleeve 1301 and a second sleeve 1302. The first sleeve 1301 sleeves the second sleeve 1302. The beverage output end 131 is located at one end of the second sleeve 1302 facing the carrier 110. The first sleeve 1301 and the second sleeve 1302 can be telescoped between the top wall 113 and the carrier 110. The first sleeve 1301 is disposed on the first track. A second track (not shown in the figure) is provided on the inner wall of the first sleeve 1301. The second track has a third end away from the carrier 110 and a fourth end close to the carrier 110. The second sleeve 1302 is disposed on the second track and is movable along the second track. When one end of the first sleeve 1301 away from the carrier is located at the first end of the first track, and one end of the second sleeve 1302 away from the carrier is located at the third end of the second track, the beverage output end 131 is located at the initial position. The moving sequence of the first sleeve 1301 and the second sleeve 1302 can be that the second sleeve 1302 moves downward first, and then the first sleeve 1301 moves downward; or the first sleeve 1301 can move downward first, and then the second sleeve 1302 moves downward.

[0108] It can be understood that when the second sleeve 1302 moves downward first and then the first sleeve 1301 moves downward, it means that the second sleeve 1302 first moves from the third end to the fourth end of the second track. If the second detection component 150 does not generate a stop signal during the process that the end of the second sleeve 1302 away from the bearing platform moves from the third end to the fourth end of the second track, the first sleeve 1301 then moves from the first end to the second end of the first track, and the first sleeve 1301 stops moving downward in response to the stop signal generated by the second detection component 150; if the second detection component 150 generates a stop signal during the process that the end of the second sleeve 1302 away from the bearing platform moves from the third end to the fourth end of the second track, the second sleeve 1302 will stop moving downward, and the first sleeve 1301 will not move downward. When the first sleeve 1301 moves downward first and then the second sleeve 1302 moves downward, it means that the first sleeve 1301 first moves from the first end to the second end of the first track. If the second detection component 150 does not generate a stop signal during the process that the end of the first sleeve 1301 away from the bearing platform moves from the first end to the second end, the second sleeve 1302 then moves from the third end to the fourth end of the second track, and the second sleeve 1302 stops moving downward in response to the stop signal generated by the second detection component 150. If the second detection component 150 generates a stop signal during the process that the end of the first sleeve 1301 away from the bearing platform moves from the first end to the second end, the first sleeve 1301 will stop moving downward, and the second sleeve 1302 will not move downward.

[0109] In some embodiments, the beverage output end 131 can drive the second sleeve 1302 and the first sleeve 1301 to expand and contract between the top wall 113 and the bearing platform 110; or the second sleeve 1302 can drive the first sleeve 1301 to expand and contract between the top wall 113 and the bearing platform 110. In other embodiments, the first sleeve 1301 and the second sleeve 1302 can be driven to expand and contract between the top wall 113 and the bearing platform 110 by other drivers.

[0110] In some embodiments, the beverage output component 140 includes a pipeline 142 and a first liquid level sensor 143. The beverage output port 141 is located at the end of the pipeline 142 facing the bearing platform 110. The first liquid level sensor 143 is arranged on the outer wall of the pipeline 142, and the first liquid level sensor 143 is used to detect the liquid level in the container 120.

[0111] The pipeline 142 is connected to the beverage storage bin of the beverage output device 100. In the embodiment of the present application, the beverage in the beverage storage bin can be introduced into the container 120 carried on the carrying platform 110 through the pipeline 142. The first liquid level sensor 143 is arranged on the outer wall of the pipeline 142, and the first liquid level sensor 143 is isolated from the inner wall of the pipeline 142 to prevent the beverage in the pipeline 142 from interfering with the first liquid level sensor 143, thereby improving the accuracy of the first liquid level sensor 143 in detecting the liquid level in the container 120.

[0112] In some embodiments, the first liquid level sensor 143 includes a first conductive member 1431 and a second conductive member 1432. The first conductive member 1431 is located at one end of the pipeline 142 close to the beverage outlet 141. The second conductive member 1432 is located on the side of the first conductive member 1431 away from the beverage outlet 141.

[0113] The first conductive member 1431 is electrically connected to the second conductive member 1432. The beverage outlet 141 outputs the beverage to the container 120. When the first conductive member 1431 and the second conductive member 1432 are in a disconnected state, it indicates that the liquid level in the container 120 has not reached the second conductive member 1432, meaning the beverage outlet 141 can continue to output the beverage to the container 120; when the first conductive member 1431 and the second conductive member 1432 are in a conducting state, that is, when the first conductive member 1431 and the second conductive member 1432 form a current path, it indicates that the liquid level in the container 120 has reached the second conductive member 1432, meaning that if the beverage outlet 141 continues to output the beverage to the container 120, beverage splashing will occur.

[0114] In some embodiments, the materials of the first conductive member 1431 and the second conductive member 1432 can be metal elements such as gold, silver, copper, or titanium, but are not limited thereto. Of course, the materials of the first conductive member 1431 and the second conductive member 1432 can also be stainless steel or conductive ceramics, but are not limited thereto.

[0115] In some embodiments, the beverage output device further includes a liquid receiving box 171. A second liquid level sensor 1711 is arranged in the liquid receiving box 171. The second liquid level sensor 1711 is used to detect the liquid level in the liquid receiving box 171. The second liquid level sensor 1711 is connected to the processor 180. The liquid receiving box 171 is located under the carrying platform 110.

[0116] After the beverage output end 131 stops moving downward, the beverage output component 140 extends into the container 120 for receiving beverages, and the beverage output port 141 outputs beverages to the container 120. To avoid situations such as a user temporarily removing the container 120, moving the container 120, or replacing the container 120, which may easily cause the beverages output from the beverage output port 141 to fill the liquid receiving box 171 and then cause liquid overflow. Therefore, by setting the second liquid level sensor 1711, the liquid level in the liquid receiving box 171 can be detected to control whether the beverage output component 140 extends into the container 120, thereby controlling the output or closing of the beverage output port 141.

[0117] In some embodiments, after detecting that the container 120 is placed on the carrying platform 110, the liquid level in the liquid receiving box 171 can also be detected by the second liquid level sensor 1711 to control whether the beverage output end 131 moves downward from the initial position.

[0118] If the detection signal obtained by the second liquid level sensor 1711 determines that the liquid level in the liquid receiving box 171 reaches the preset liquid level, it means that if liquid enters the liquid receiving box 171, it will cause the liquid in the liquid receiving box 171 to overflow. Therefore, at this time, the beverage output end 131 will not move downward from the initial position, and the prompt component 172 outputs a prompt message to remind the user to clean the liquid receiving box 171 in time.
