Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention for which protection is claimed, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 7 An embodiment of the present invention provides a fully automatic milk tea making machine, comprising a storage and distribution mechanism 1, a stir-frying and boiling device 2, a storage area 3 and a platform area 4 arranged in sequence from top to bottom; the storage and distribution mechanism 1 is used to store solid raw materials and distribute them to the stir-frying and boiling device 2, the storage area 3 is used to store liquid raw materials and send the liquid raw materials to the stir-frying and boiling device 2, the stir-frying and boiling device 2 is used to stir-fry and heat the distributed raw materials, and the platform area 4 is used to place tea containers and collect waste liquid residues.

[0032] Specifically, see Figure 2-Figure 4 The storage and dispensing mechanism 1 includes a storage assembly and a dispensing assembly. The storage assembly includes a storage area body, which contains eight storage slots 104 arranged in a circular array. The storage slots 104 are used to store the required tea and caramel. A storage area cover 102 is provided on the storage area body, and a storage area base 119 is provided below the storage area body. A storage slot cover 101 is installed above each storage slot 104, and the storage slot cover 101 has a ventilation hole above it. The material distributing device includes a gear frame base plate 111, which is fixed to the bottom of the storage trough 104, and the fan blade 112 gear frame 110 is connected to the gear frame base plate 111 through the gear frame fastening screws 114. A fan blade limiting plate 115 is fixed between the fan blade 112 gear frame 110 and the gear frame cover 109. The fan blade 112 gear frame 110 and the gear frame cover 109 are connected through the gear frame fastening screws 114, and the fan blade 112 is connected to the fan blade limiting plate 115 through the fan blade fastening screws 113. The long column of the fan blade limiting plate 115 is connected to the ratchet 116, and the grabbing plate 118 is connected to the bottom of the storage area base 119. The stepping motor 106 will drive the grabbing plate 118 to rotate, and the ratchet grab 117 is fixed on the grabbing plate 118 and rotates with it. This part of the process is that the stepper motor 106 drives the grabbing plate 118 to rotate, the ratchet grab 117 rotates to drive the ratchet 116 to rotate, the fan blade limit plate 115 rotates, the fan blade 112 opens, and the material is divided; when the stepper motor 106 reverses, the fan blade 112 closes.

[0033] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The material storage and distribution mechanism 1 further includes a ventilation assembly, which includes a ventilation rack 105 located in the center of the storage area body. The ventilation rack 105 is connected to each storage tank 104 through air holes on the side wall. The ventilation rack 105 is provided with a ventilation component for ventilating the storage tank 104.

[0034] Specifically, see Figure 3 The ventilation component includes a stepper motor 106 arranged at the bottom of the ventilation rack 105. The stepper motor 106 is connected to the fan 108 through a coupling 107. The stepper motor 106 drives the fan 108 to rotate, so that the ventilation rack 105 generates an upward airflow. There are air holes above the ventilation rack 105 to promote ventilation inside the storage tank 104.

[0035] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The stir-frying and boiling device 2 includes a pot body 201, a stirring assembly, and a heating assembly. The stirring assembly is located above the pot body 201 and includes a sun gear 202 and two meshing planetary gears 203. The planetary gears 203 are connected to a rotating rod 204. The bottom of the rotating rod 204 is hingedly connected to a stirring brush 205. The heating assembly is located at the bottom of the pot body 201 and is a spiral heating tube.

[0036] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 A spiral slide 206 is provided under the storage area base 119 . The solid raw materials from the storage tank 104 fall onto the spiral slide 206 after being separated, and then slide into the pot body 201 through the spiral slide 206 .

[0037] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The central bottom of the pot body 201 is connected to a dual-iris filter mechanism via a pipe. The dual-iris filter mechanism comprises a cylindrical housing 207, within which a first and second guide rails are embedded, sequentially from top to bottom. The grooves of the first and second guide rails are each provided with a filter screen 208 and a baffle 209. The exterior of each of the first and second guide rails is connected to an incomplete gear 212. Each incomplete gear 212 is driven by a drive motor 210. The output shaft of the drive motor 210 is connected to a gear that meshes with the incomplete gear 212. The rotation of the first and second guide rails controls the opening and closing of the filter screen 208 and baffle 209, respectively. The upper portion of the housing 207 is connected to the central bottom of the pot body 201 via a pipe.

[0038] When the pot body 201 is heated and tea is boiled, the filter 208 and the baffle 209 are closed to seal the pipeline; when the filter 208 is closed and the baffle 209 is opened, the finished milk tea will leak into the cup in the platform area, and the tea leaves will be blocked by the filter 208. When the filter 208 and the baffle 209 are both opened, the tea leaves and waste liquid are discharged.

[0039] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The storage area 3 is provided with a water storage chamber 301 and a milk storage chamber 302. The water storage chamber 301 and the milk storage chamber 302 are respectively connected to pipes, the upper ends of the pipes lead into the spiral slide 206, and each pipe is provided with a pump 303 for pumping the liquid.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The platform area 4 includes a water tank 401 , and a grid plate 402 is provided on the upper part of the water tank 401 . Tea leaves are drained onto the grid plate 402 , and the water falls into the water tank 401 .

[0041] The working principle of the fully automatic milk tea making machine provided by the present invention is:

[0042] When the milk tea machine begins operation, the dispensing mechanism dispenses the required tea and caramel. The pump starts, pumping water from the water tank. The ingredients flow through the spiral slide 206, and the water enters the stir-frying device (i.e., the pot 201) through a pipe. The stir-frying process begins: the heating assembly at the bottom of the pot 201 heats the tea, the planetary gears above rotate, and the stirring brush 205 stirs the tea, caramel, and water. After the stir-frying process is complete, the pump 303 in the milk storage chamber 302 injects milk in three batches: upon completion of the stir-frying process, upon heating to 50°C, and upon heating to 80°C. After brewing is complete, the lower baffle 209 of the bottom double iris opens, the filter 208 closes, and the milk tea leaks through a pipe into a cup placed on the platform 4. After the cleaning process begins, the pump 303 starts filling the water, the planetary gears stir the tea, and then the baffle 209 and filter 208 open, allowing the tea leaves and wastewater in the pot to flow through a pipe to the platform. The tea leaves leak onto the grid plate 402, and the water falls into the water storage tank 401.

[0043] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention provide a fully automatic milk tea making machine that abandons the traditional milk tea powder brewing mode and pioneers a full-process fresh extraction process. From raw material storage to finished product output, each link is functionally integrated through an integrated design. Its storage and distribution mechanism 1 has an 8-chamber distribution system built into it, which controls the release of raw materials such as tea leaves and caramel through a ratchet mechanism. During the frying process, the frying and boiling device 2 introduces a planetary gear mechanism. Through the compound motion of the sun gear and planetary gear, it simulates the stir-frying action of a professional chef, allowing the caramel to be evenly heated and melted, preventing sugar from caramelizing while fully releasing the caramel aroma, giving the milk tea a unique silky texture and amber color.

[0044] In terms of nutrition and safety, traditional boiling techniques can easily denature milk proteins or destroy active tea ingredients due to temperature loss. To address this, the device features three-stage stepped temperature control technology. Relying on a spiral heating tube and a PWM power modulation algorithm, it achieves a gradual temperature increase from 50°C to awaken the tea aroma, 75°C to activate the milk fat, and 85°C to sterilize and lock in freshness. This precisely avoids the critical point of nutrient loss, increasing the protein retention rate of milk tea by 35% and the tea polyphenol content by 20%. The dual iris filter assembly enables automatic machine cleaning: when the upper filter is operating, the tea liquid pours through the precision filter, completely trapping the tea residue. When the filter and bottom plate are opened simultaneously, high-pressure water flows from top to bottom, and the bottom stirring brush rotates synchronously, completing the entire pipeline self-cleaning within 120 seconds, completely ending the era of manual residue removal.

[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
