Therefore, the above terms cannot be understood as limiting this application.

[0067] The present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 9 illustrate.

[0068] The present application provides a vertical multifunctional beverage machine 1 (hereinafter referred to as the beverage machine), which is used to make cold drinks, hot drinks, smoothies or ice cream and other drinks from room temperature liquids. It can meet the needs of making various beverages, has multiple uses in one machine, and has high applicability.

[0069] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the beverage machine includes a refrigeration mechanism, a heating mechanism, a liquid storage cylinder 101 and a heat exchange cylinder 102. The heat exchange cylinder 102 and the liquid storage cylinder 101 are coaxially arranged in the vertical direction. The heat exchange cylinder 102 is arranged in the liquid storage cylinder 101, and the heat exchange cylinder 102 is sealed with the liquid storage cylinder 101. The outer diameter of the heat exchange cylinder 102 is smaller than the inner diameter of the liquid storage cylinder 101. An annular accommodating chamber for accommodating liquid is formed between the heat exchange cylinder 102 and the liquid storage cylinder 101, and the refrigeration mechanism and the heating mechanism are arranged in the heat exchange cylinder 102. When the refrigeration mechanism and the heating mechanism are in operation, their heat diffuses toward the surroundings. The heat emitted in the heat exchange cylinder 102 can fully exchange heat with the liquid in the liquid storage cylinder 101 in the vertical and horizontal directions, thereby reducing heat loss, improving heat exchange efficiency, and thus improving the working efficiency of the beverage machine.

[0070] The liquid storage barrel 101 is provided with a stirring mechanism, which can stir the liquid in the liquid storage barrel 101. On the one hand, it can stir the liquid in the liquid storage barrel 101 so that the liquid is heated or cooled evenly; on the other hand, when making drinks such as smoothies or ice cream, the stirring mechanism can stir and crush the liquid in the liquid storage barrel 101 to prevent the liquid in the liquid storage barrel 101 from solidifying into ice masses, thereby forming smoothies or ice cream to meet the needs of different types of drinks.

[0071] Among them, such as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the refrigeration mechanism includes a compressor 103, a condenser 104, an evaporator and an expansion valve 119. The evaporator is arranged in the heat exchange cylinder 102, and the compressor 103 is arranged at intervals on the side of the liquid storage cylinder 101 in the horizontal direction to avoid direct contact between the compressor 103 and the evaporator. The condenser 104 is arranged above the compressor 103 in the vertical direction to avoid direct contact between the condenser 104 and the compressor 103; the expansion valve 119 is located between the condenser 104 and the liquid storage cylinder 101, and the expansion valve 119 is located at the upper end of the compressor 103; in this embodiment, the compressor 103 and the liquid storage cylinder 101 are separately established, which is easy to maintain and repair, and reduces the influence of the vibration generated by the operation of the compressor 103 on the liquid storage cylinder 101 and the condenser 104, and also reduces the influence of the heat generated by the operation of the compressor 103 on the liquid storage cylinder 101 and the condenser 104;

[0072] By arranging the compressor 103 and the condenser 104 on the side of the liquid storage cylinder 101, the overall layout of the beverage machine is also more compact, reducing the space occupied by the beverage machine in the height direction, and is suitable for environments with limited space and is convenient for placement and use.

[0073] It should be noted that, in the present application, the compressor 103 and the liquid storage cylinder 101 are distributed in the horizontal direction, but there is no restriction on the positions of the compressor 103 and the liquid storage cylinder 101 in the vertical direction, that is, the projections of the compressor 103 and the liquid storage cylinder 101 in the vertical direction do not necessarily completely overlap.

[0074] In this application, the compressor 103, the condenser 104, the evaporator and the expansion valve 119 form a refrigeration cycle system, and the specific working process is as follows:

[0075] The refrigerant is sucked into the compressor 103 from the evaporator in a low-temperature, low-pressure gas state and is compressed into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas state;

[0076] The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is discharged from the compressor 103 and enters the condenser 104;

[0077] The condenser 104 cools and liquefies the refrigerant, and the condenser 104 releases heat;

[0078] The liquid refrigerant passes through the expansion valve 119 and is throttled and depressurized, becoming a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant;

[0079] The low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator, absorbs heat in the evaporator and evaporates into gas, thereby reducing the temperature around the evaporator to achieve the effect of cooling the liquid in the liquid storage cylinder 101, thereby realizing the production of cold drinks, smoothies, ice cream and other cold drinks.

[0080] Among them, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 7 As shown, the heating mechanism includes a heating tube 106, which is wound vertically in the heat exchange tube 102, and the heating tube 106 and the evaporation tube 105 are both wound in a spiral shape. The heating tube 106 and the evaporation tube 105 are staggered at intervals to reduce interference between the two and improve working accuracy.

[0081] The heating tube 106 may be configured as a heating wire.

[0082] It should be noted that the present application also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the compressor 103 of the refrigeration mechanism, the heating mechanism, and the stirring mechanism. By controlling the linkage between the stirring mechanism, the heating mechanism, and the compressor 103, it is used to control the working mode of the beverage machine, including the selection and control of the beverage machine's power on, power off, water outlet temperature, smoothie coarseness and other functions, so as to make room temperature liquid into hot drinks, cold drinks, smoothies or ice cream, etc.

[0083] Furthermore, the beverage machine is further described; Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the beverage machine also includes a mounting shell 107 and a discharge support 108. The mounting shell 107 is a box-shaped structure as a whole, and the compressor 103, condenser 104, and expansion valve 119 are located in the mounting shell 107; the mounting shell 107 includes a base plate and a cover body, the compressor 103 is stably connected to the base plate, and the condenser 104 can be provided with a bracket connected to the base plate, and the cover body covers the compressor 103, condenser 104 and expansion valve 119 to prevent the condenser 104, compressor 103 and expansion valve 119 from being exposed to the external environment, and also to prevent the user from being scalded by contact with the compressor 103 during use; the cover body and the base plate are detachably connected and can be easily disassembled for easy maintenance.

[0084] Further, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a heat dissipation hole 107.1 is provided on the mounting shell 107, and the heat dissipation hole 107.1 is located around the condenser 104. The heat dissipation hole 107.1 is open inside and outside the mounting shell 107, so that the heat dissipated by the condenser 104 can be discharged to the outside of the mounting shell 107 through the heat dissipation hole 107.1, thereby avoiding high temperature inside the mounting shell 107.

[0085] It should be noted that the side of the mounting shell 107 close to the liquid storage cylinder 101 is not provided with a heat dissipation hole 107.1. The shape and number of the heat dissipation holes 107.1 can be selected according to actual needs and are not limited here.

[0086] like Figures 1 to 4 、 Figure 7 As shown, the discharge support 108 is connected to the side end of the mounting shell 107. The discharge support 108 is a box-shaped structure as a whole. The side of the discharge support 108 is connected to the mounting shell 107, so that the pipeline between the expansion valve 119 and the evaporator can pass from the mounting shell 107 into the discharge support 108; an opening is provided above the discharge support 108 for the liquid storage cylinder 101 to be inserted, and the surrounding side of the opening is closed, thereby isolating the probability of external impurities entering the discharge support 108, thereby ensuring the hygiene of the beverage machine.

[0087] like Figure 7 As shown, the discharge support 108 is provided with an installation space for installing the discharge cylinder 114, the discharge cylinder 114 is provided with a mounting portion 114.3, and the two ends of the liquid storage cylinder 101 are provided with connecting portions 101.4. Under the cooperation of the connecting portions 101.4 and the mounting portions 114.3, the discharge cylinder 114 and the liquid storage cylinder 101 are threadedly connected. Figure 9 As shown, a through hole is provided in the discharge barrel 114 for the heat exchange barrel 102 to pass through, and the heat exchange barrel 102 is sealedly connected to the side wall of the through hole of the discharge barrel 114; a retaining ring 114.1 is provided around the through hole, and the retaining ring 114.1 is located at the lower end of the liquid storage barrel 101 and is used to seal the bottom of the liquid storage barrel 101.

[0088] Among them, such as Figure 9 As shown, a material guide cylinder 114.2 is provided at the lower end of the retaining ring 114.1, and the material guide cylinder 114.2 is located on the side away from the mounting shell 107. The material guide cylinder 114.2 passes through the upper and lower parts in the vertical direction. The upper end of the material guide cylinder 114.2 opens on the retaining ring 114.1, and the lower end of the material guide cylinder 114.2 is provided with an opening. The opening at the lower end of the material guide cylinder 114.2 corresponds to the discharge port of the discharge support 108, and the liquid in the liquid storage cylinder 101 can flow out through the material guide cylinder 114.2; wherein, the upper end of the material guide cylinder 114.2 is an annular structure, and the lower end of the material guide cylinder 114.2 is an annular structure. The upper end opening of the material guide cylinder 114.2 is larger than the lower end opening, so that the side wall of the material guide cylinder 114.2 is inclined in the vertical direction.

[0089] In this embodiment, the mounting portion 114.3 is vertically connected to the retaining ring 114.1, and the mounting portion 114.3 is located above and outside the retaining ring 114.1.

[0090] It should be noted that the liquid storage cylinder 101 is arranged in the vertical direction, and at least one end of the liquid storage cylinder 101 is provided with an opening, which is connected to the discharge cylinder 114; wherein, if the liquid storage cylinder 101 is provided with only one opening, the opening is provided at the top of the liquid storage cylinder 101, the discharge support 108 is connected to the top of the mounting shell 107, and the bottom of the liquid storage cylinder 101 is closed; the discharge cylinder 114 is not provided with a guide cylinder 114.2 and a discharge port, and the entire liquid storage cylinder 101 needs to be removed from the discharge support 108 before feeding and discharging can be carried out.

[0091] The controller includes a control panel 113, which is arranged on a side of the discharge support 108 away from the mounting housing 107 so that the user can directly operate the control panel 113. The control panel 113 can be provided in any of a button form, a knob form or a touch screen form.

[0092] In another optional embodiment, the liquid storage cylinder 101 has openings at both the upper and lower ends. The lower end of the liquid storage cylinder 101 is connected to the discharge support 108, which is connected to a position slightly below the middle of the mounting housing 107. The discharge cylinder 114 is provided with a guide cylinder 114.2 and a discharge port. The liquid storage cylinder 101 discharges through the lower opening and feeds through the upper opening. The advantage of this arrangement is that the liquid storage cylinder 101 does not need to be considered in terms of direction when it is placed. Either end can be connected to the discharge support 108, making it convenient to use.

[0093] In addition, the height of the liquid storage cylinder 101 can be selected according to actual needs to meet different usage requirements.

[0094] It should be noted that if Figure 4 As shown, since the discharge support 108 is arranged in a position slightly lower than the middle of the mounting shell 107, the lower end of the liquid storage cylinder 101 is connected to the upper end of the discharge support 108. Therefore, there is a distance between the bottom of the liquid storage cylinder 101 and the mounting shell 107, and the compressor 103 is directly placed on the bottom of the mounting shell 107. Therefore, the liquid storage cylinder 101 and the compressor 103 are relatively staggered in the vertical direction, and the overlapping part of the projections of the two in the vertical direction is small, which can further reduce the influence and interference of the compressor 103 on the liquid storage cylinder 101 during operation.

[0095] Further, such as Figure 5 、 Figure 7As shown, the beverage machine is also provided with a dustproof plate 116 and a guide block 117. The guide block 117 is arranged at the end of the discharge support 108 away from the liquid storage cylinder 101, and the guide block 117 is fixedly connected to the discharge support 108; two guide blocks 117 are provided on both sides of each discharge port, and the guide blocks 117 are L-shaped structures. A limiting space in the vertical direction is formed between the bottom plate of the guide block 117 and the discharge support 108 for inserting the dustproof plate 116 to limit the dustproof plate 116 in the vertical direction; at the same time, the side plates of the two guide blocks 117 form a limit on the left and right sides of the dustproof plate 116 in the horizontal direction to prevent the guide blocks 117 from falling out from the left and right sides.

[0096] Among them, the front and rear sides of the guide block 117 are not sealed, so that the dustproof plate 116 can slide back and forth along the guide block 117; the dustproof plate 116 is provided with an opening corresponding to the discharge port. When the opening corresponds to the discharge port, the beverage in the liquid storage cylinder 101 will flow out smoothly. When the beverage supply is not needed, the dustproof plate 116 is pushed to cover the discharge port, so that external impurities will not enter the liquid storage cylinder 101 from the discharge port, thereby improving safety prevention.

[0097] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, the beverage machine is further expanded; the beverage machine also includes a coaster 109, which is connected to the side end of the mounting shell 107, and the coaster 109 is located at the bottom of the mounting shell 107. The coaster 109 is arranged parallel to the discharge support 108 and spaced apart. There is a space for placing a water cup between the coaster 109 and the discharge support 108. The water cup is placed on the coaster 109, and the opening of the water cup is facing the discharge port of the discharge support 108. The beverage in the liquid storage cylinder 101 can flow out from the discharge port into the water cup, making it convenient to receive the smoothie.

[0098] Furthermore, the coaster 109 is provided with a drainage hole 109.1, which opens from the coaster 109 toward the discharging support 108 but does not penetrate the coaster 109. Multiple drainage holes 109.1 are provided, and the multiple drainage holes 109.1 are spaced apart. The drainage holes 109.1 can collect liquid splashed during the discharging of the shaved ice, preventing it from splashing directly onto the table. The coaster 109 is also detachably connected to the mounting housing 107, allowing the coaster 109 to be removed from the mounting housing 107 at any time, making it easier for the user to clean the coaster 109.

[0099] Furthermore, the liquid storage cylinder 101 is further expanded; Figure 7As shown, the liquid storage cylinder 101 includes a cylinder cover 101.3 and a cylinder body. The cylinder body is a cylindrical structure with openings at both ends. Connecting parts 101.4 are provided at both ends of the cylinder body. The cylinder body is connected to the mounting seat and the cylinder cover 101.3 respectively through the two connecting parts 101.4. The cylinder cover 101.3 is connected to the end of the cylinder away from the discharge support 108, and the cylinder cover 101.3 is threadedly connected to the cylinder body connecting part 101.4; the setting of the cylinder cover 101.3 not only facilitates users to add materials, but also plays a role in hygiene protection.

[0100] Among them, such as Figure 7 As shown, the liquid storage cylinder 101 has a double-layer structure. The cylinder body of the liquid storage cylinder 101 includes an inner cylinder 101.1 and an outer cylinder 101.2. The inner cylinder 101.1 and the outer cylinder 101.2 are coaxially arranged. The outer cylinder 101.2 is sleeved on the outside of the inner cylinder 101.1. The outer diameter of the inner cylinder 101.1 is smaller than the inner diameter of the outer cylinder 101.2. There is a gap between the inner cylinder 101.1 and the outer cylinder 101.2.
