When the absolute position of the object being described changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly. To keep the following description of the embodiments of the present application clear and concise, the detailed descriptions of known functions and known components are omitted.
[0047] As Figure 1 shown, the embodiments of the present application provide a beverage machine, which mainly includes a machine body 1, a spiral evaporator 2 and a control system.
[0048] The machine body 1 is provided with a refrigeration chamber 10 and a discharge port 11 communicating with the refrigeration chamber 10. The refrigeration chamber 10 is used to hold beverages and refrigerate them, and the refrigerated beverages can be discharged through the discharge port 11.
[0049] The spiral evaporator 2 is arranged in the refrigeration chamber 10. The spiral evaporator 2 can rotate relative to the machine body 1 in a first direction to transfer the beverages in the refrigeration chamber 10 to the discharge port 11, or rotate in a second direction to transfer the beverages in the refrigeration chamber 10 to the side opposite to the discharge port 11. During the rotation process, the spiral evaporator 2 can push the beverages to move in the first direction or the second direction, so that the materials can be in full contact with the spiral evaporator 2.
[0050] Wherein, the first direction can be understood as the clockwise direction, and correspondingly, the second direction can be understood as the counterclockwise direction.
[0051] The control system includes a controller and an induction module 3. The controller is respectively connected to the induction module 3 and the spiral evaporator 2. Triggering the induction module 3 can generate a control signal, and the controller can respond to the control signal to control the spiral evaporator 2 to stop rotating, and then only rotate in the first direction.
[0052] When the user does not use the beverage machine, the spiral evaporator 2 can be controlled to continuously rotate in the first direction and the second direction alternately, so that the beverages can be in full contact with the spiral evaporator 2, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the beverage temperature; when the user wants to drink the beverage, trigger the induction module 3 to generate a control signal, and the controller will control the spiral evaporator 2 to stop rotating alternately, and then only rotate in the first direction, so as to discharge the materials through the discharge port 11.
[0053] The beverage machine according to the embodiment of the present application can make the temperature and ice particle size of the beverage uniform by the bidirectional and alternating rotation of the spiral evaporator 2. At the same time, when the user wants to take the material, the induction module 3 can be triggered to generate a control signal, and the controller can then control the spiral evaporator 2 to only rotate in the direction of pushing the material towards the discharge port 11, so as to adjust the beverage machine to a state conducive to discharging, ensuring smooth discharging.
[0054] In this embodiment, the beverage machine can be a smoothie maker, an ice crusher, a snow melter, etc. The common feature of these devices is that they are stirred by a stirring device outside the spiral evaporator 2, and can turn the water in the juice or drinking water into a smoothie state, so as to make the juice or beverage have a dense taste.
[0055] Such as Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the beverage machine may further include a discharge assembly 4. The discharge assembly 4 includes a discharge chamber 41, a handle 43 and a piston 42. The induction module 3 can be arranged on the discharge chamber 41, and the piston 42 can be arranged in the discharge chamber 41.
[0056] The discharge chamber 41 is in communication with the discharge port 11. The handle 43 is connected to the piston 42. Driving the handle 43 can drive the piston 42 to move relative to the discharge chamber 41 in the third direction to open the discharge port 11, or move in the fourth direction to close the discharge port 11.
[0057] The user can control the movement of the handle 43 to achieve the movement of the piston 42 relative to the discharge chamber 41. When the piston 42 opens the discharge port 11, the induction module 3 can be triggered by the handle 43 or the piston 42.
[0058] Exemplarily, as Figure 1 shown, the discharge assembly 4 may further include an elastic member 44. The elastic member 44 is disposed in the discharge chamber 41. One end of the elastic member 44 abuts against the piston 42, and the other end abuts against the induction module 3.
[0059] The elastic member 44 exerts a force on the piston 42 in the fourth direction, so that the piston 42 can maintain the state of blocking the discharge port 11 when the handle 43 is not subjected to an external force. When the handle 43 is subjected to an external force and drives the piston 42 to move in the third direction, the elastic member 44 can be compressed and trigger the induction module 3 to generate a control signal.
[0060] In some embodiments, the handle 43 is rotatably connected to the discharge chamber 41. At the same time, the handle 43 can be connected to the piston 42 through a linkage mechanism. The handle 43 can rotate relative to the body 1 to drive the piston 42 to move in the third direction or the fourth direction through the linkage mechanism.
[0061] Exemplarily, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the piston 42 can move up and down in the discharge chamber 41. The handle 43 is rotatably connected to the piston 42. When the user wants the beverage machine to discharge, the handle 43 can be rotated downward, and the piston 42 moves upward to open the discharge port 11. When the user no longer wants the beverage machine to discharge, the handle 43 is rotated upward again, and the piston 42 moves downward to close the discharge port 11.
[0062] The elastic member 44 can be located above the piston 42. The elastic member 44 can be a spring. The induction module 3 is located above the elastic member 44. The bottom of the elastic member 44 abuts against the piston 42, and the top can be directly connected to the induction module 3 or connected to the induction module 3 through other connecting members. When the handle 43 is not pressed down, the discharge port 11 on the body 1 is blocked by the piston 42, and the piston 42 and the discharge port 11 are sealed by a sealing ring. At this time, although the material in the beverage machine is driven by the spiral structure on the spiral evaporator 2, it will not discharge from the discharge port 11.
[0063] When the handle 43 is pressed down, it drives the piston 42 to move upward to compress the elastic member 44, and further triggers the sensing module 3; the sensing module 3 sends a signal to the controller, and the controller adjusts the rotation direction of the spiral evaporator 2 to a direction favorable for discharging. At the same time, the piston 42 is no longer sealed with the discharge port 11 of the beverage machine, so the spiral structure of the spiral evaporator 2 can smoothly discharge the material from the discharge port 11.
[0064] When the user releases the handle 43, the elastic member 44 causes the piston 42 to descend due to the elastic force; the piston 42 is sealed with the discharge port 11 of the beverage machine again to prevent discharging. At the same time, the sensing module 3 senses that the elastic force of the elastic member 44 decreases and no longer triggers, and the spiral evaporator 2 adjusts back to its original rotation direction (whether it is the same as the current direction or not).
[0065] Among them, the sensing module 3 located on the elastic member 44 can be a pressure sensor. When the elastic member 44 is compressed, the acting force of the elastic member 44 on the pressure sensor increases. When the pressure sensor detects that the pressure exceeds the preset value, it will feedback to the controller, and the controller will control the spiral evaporator 2 to rotate in the first direction.
[0066] Of course, in some other embodiments, the sensing module 3 located above the elastic member 44 can also be other types of switches, such as a micro switch or a magnetic switch, etc.
[0067] In some embodiments, the sensing module 3 can also be provided on the body 1, and the user can directly trigger the sensing module 3 to generate a control signal.
[0068] For example, the sensing module 3 can be a human body sensing device. When someone approaches, regardless of the current rotation direction of the spiral evaporator 2, the existing rotation is interrupted, and the rotation direction of the spiral evaporator 2 is adjusted to push and stack the material in the discharging direction to ensure smooth discharging. Note that the interruption here only interrupts the program at the program design level and immediately accesses a new rotation instruction. When the person leaves, the inserted rotation program is stopped, and the spiral evaporator 2 continues to rotate in the direction before the interruption. The human body sensing device can include optoelectronic sensing devices such as infrared and proximity sensors.
[0069] If the customer only approaches the machine without requiring the machine to discharge materials, the machine will make a misjudgment and still pile up the materials in the discharging direction. If the machine is just placed in a place with a large number of people, misjudgments will continuously occur, causing the machine to return to the original state of uneven temperature and ice particles. Therefore, the control system of the present application can also include an RGB lens, an AI chip, etc., which can capture the actions of the users approaching the machine in real time, and determine whether the users approaching the machine have the intention to discharge materials through means such as action recognition and AI learning. If so, interrupt the rotation of the existing spiral evaporator 2 and insert a new rotation program; when the person leaves, stop the inserted rotation program, and the spiral evaporator 2 continues to rotate in the direction before the interruption. If not, continue with the original rotation program.
[0070] Alternatively, the sensing module 3 can also be a code scanning component or a coin insertion component, and the user can also purchase the materials in the beverage machine by means of coin insertion, code scanning, etc. After the user's actions such as coin insertion and code scanning are completed, the beverage machine generates a control signal, and the controller adjusts the rotation state of the spiral evaporator 2 based on the generated control signal and realizes smooth discharging.
[0071] As Figure 3 shown, the embodiment of the present application also provides a discharging method for a beverage machine. This discharging method is used for the beverage machine described in the above embodiment. The discharging method includes:
[0072] Step 100: Control the spiral evaporator 2 to rotate according to a first rotation strategy; the first rotation strategy includes alternating rotation along a first direction and a second direction;
[0073] In step 100, the alternating rotation along the first direction and the second direction can be understood as that after the spiral evaporator 2 rotates one full circle or half a circle along the first direction, it then rotates one full circle or half a circle along the second direction, so as to ensure that the beverage can fully contact the spiral evaporator 2.
[0074] Alternatively, after the spiral evaporator 2 rotates for a period of time along the first direction, it then rotates for a period of time along the second direction. These two periods of time can be equal or unequal.
[0075] Step 200: Trigger the sensing module 3 to generate a first control signal;
[0076] In step 200, triggering the sensing module 3 can be directly triggered manually. For example, a button can be set on the beverage machine. When the user wants the beverage machine to start discharging materials, the button can be directly pressed to trigger the sensing module 3.
[0077] Step 300: In response to the first control signal, control the spiral evaporator 2 to abort the first rotation strategy and rotate according to a second rotation strategy. The second rotation strategy includes only rotating along the first direction to discharge the beverage in the refrigeration chamber 10 through the discharge port 11.
[0078] The discharging method of the beverage machine in this embodiment can trigger the induction module 3 to cause the rotating spiral evaporator 2 to abort the current rotation and then rotate in a direction beneficial to discharging, thereby improving the smoothness of discharging.
[0079] As Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments, the discharging method further includes:
[0080] Step 400: After the beverage in the refrigeration chamber 10 is discharged through the discharge port 11, in response to the second control signal, control the spiral evaporator 2 to continue rotating according to the first rotation strategy.
[0081] The second control signal can be directly triggered manually. For example, when the beverage in the beverage cup is almost full, the user gives the beverage machine the second control signal through corresponding operations such as pressing a button, etc., to control the spiral evaporator 2 to terminate the second rotation strategy.
[0082] Alternatively, the second control signal is triggered by the machine itself. For example, when the beverage in the beverage cup is full, it will give the beverage machine a signal to stop discharging, and this signal can form the second control signal. After the controller receives the second control signal, it controls the spiral evaporator 2 to terminate the second rotation strategy.
[0083] In some embodiments, the triggering induction module 3 can generate the first control signal including:
[0084] When the discharge port 11 of the refrigeration chamber 10 is opened, the induction module 3 is triggered to generate the first control signal.
[0085] Exemplarily, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the beverage machine can include a discharging assembly 4, and the discharging assembly 4 includes a discharging chamber 41, a handle 43 and a piston 42.
[0086] The induction module 3 can be arranged on the discharging chamber 41, and the discharging chamber 41 is communicated with the discharge port 11. The piston 42 is arranged in the discharging chamber 41, the handle 43 is connected with the piston 42, and the handle 43 can drive the piston 42 to move relative to the discharging chamber 41 in the third direction to open the discharge port 11, or move in the fourth direction to close the discharge port 11.
[0087] The discharging method of this embodiment further includes:
[0088] During the process of controlling the piston 42 to move in the third direction to open the discharge port 11, trigger the induction module 3 through the piston 42 or the handle 43.
[0089] In some embodiments, the beverage machine includes a cup platform for carrying cups, and the discharging method further includes:
[0090] When the beverage cup is placed on the cup stand, the induction module 3 is triggered to generate a control signal.
[0091] For example, the induction module 3 can be a pressure sensor. When the beverage cup is placed on the cup stand, the pressure sensor detects a signal and feeds it back to the controller. The controller controls the spiral evaporator 2 to rotate in the first direction to discharge the refrigerated beverage according to the detected pressure signal.
[0092] Alternatively, the induction module 3 can also be a photoelectric sensor, which can be arranged on the cup stand or the body 1. When the beverage cup is placed on the cup stand, it can trigger the photoelectric sensor, thus feeding back to the controller.
[0093] The above description is intended to be illustrative rather than restrictive. Those of ordinary skill in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present disclosure. Moreover, the above examples (or one or more aspects thereof) can be used in combination with each other, and considering these embodiments, they can be combined with each other in various combinations or permutations.
