Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of beverage machines, and more particularly to a tea and coffee integrated machine system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the freshly made beverage industry, led by new-style tea and specialty coffee, is experiencing explosive growth, forming one of the most vibrant aspects of urban consumption. New-style tea shops attract young consumers with their creative flavors, diverse ingredients, and social experiences; specialty coffee shops, on the other hand, emphasize quality craftsmanship, flavor extraction, and spatial culture, cultivating a large number of coffee enthusiasts. The booming development of these two business models has spurred a significant demand for freshly made beverage equipment, particularly for multifunctional, automated, and intelligent equipment. Under current technological conditions, a freshly made beverage shop typically needs to be equipped with a variety of specialized equipment, each with a single function, to have a complete beverage production capacity. For example, a shop that operates both coffee and tea businesses requires at least an espresso machine, coffee grinder, water boiler, steam oven, syrup machine, juicer, ice maker, refrigerator, and fruit cutter, as well as auxiliary facilities such as water purification and cleaning equipment.

[0003] However, while these devices each perform specific functions, their variety encroaches on the store's limited space, impacting operational flow design and staff efficiency. Different devices have independent interfaces and control logic, requiring employees to master multiple operating methods, increasing training difficulty and time costs, and potentially leading to inconsistent product quality due to improper operation. Each device requires individual daily cleaning, regular maintenance, and troubleshooting; the more devices there are, the greater the maintenance workload, increasing labor and time costs. This is especially true for devices with complex piping systems, where incomplete cleaning can lead to ingredient residue and bacterial growth, affecting beverage safety and taste. The lack of unified control and coordination mechanisms between devices means that making a complex beverage requires employees to operate multiple devices sequentially, manually controlling the order and dosage of ingredients, making standardized batch production difficult, inefficient, and prone to human error. Freshly made beverages involve various perishable ingredients such as dairy products, juices, and syrups, requiring high levels of cleanliness. Currently, most equipment is cleaned manually, with inconsistent and incomplete cleaning processes, and frequent manual cleaning consumes significant business time, reducing equipment efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, one objective of this application is to propose a tea and coffee integrated machine system that integrates multiple equipment functions into one, realizing fully automated operation of raw material storage, quantitative delivery, beverage preparation, automatic cleaning, etc., so as to reduce equipment space occupation, simplify operation process, and improve output efficiency and hygiene standards.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this application proposes a tea and coffee integrated machine system, characterized by comprising a liquid circuit system, a control system, a power supply system, and a mechanical structure. The liquid circuit system includes: a coffee liquid supply module for coffee extraction and output; a hot water supply module for providing hot water as a beverage ingredient or cleaning medium; a countertop refrigerated ingredient supply module for refrigerating and outputting viscous liquid ingredients; an under-counter refrigerated ingredient supply module for refrigerating and outputting conventional liquid ingredients; a room temperature ingredient supply module for storing and outputting ingredients at room temperature; a steam cleaning module for generating high-temperature steam to clean and disinfect pipelines; a circulating heating module for heating cold ingredients; a beverage dispensing module for dispensing the prepared beverage to a receiving container; a cleaning module for controlling the input of cleaning liquid, achieving functions such as pipeline cleaning, disinfection, and drainage; and a drainage system for collecting and discharging wastewater generated by each module within the equipment.

[0007] In addition, the tea and coffee all-in-one machine system proposed in this application may also have the following additional technical features:

[0008] In one embodiment of this application, the coffee liquid supply module includes: a freshly ground coffee machine, at least one solenoid valve for distributing the coffee liquid, and corresponding pipelines; wherein, the solenoid valve controls the coffee liquid to enter a storage container in an under-counter refrigerator or to be directly output to the dispensing module.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, the countertop refrigerated raw material supply module, the under-counter refrigerated raw material supply module, and the room temperature raw material supply module each include: a refrigerator or storage box, at least one delivery pump, and a food-grade hose; the delivery pump is a peristaltic pump, and each output pump corresponds to a raw material output pipeline for delivering raw materials from the storage container to the dispensing module.

[0026] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0027] The following describes a tea and coffee machine system according to an embodiment of this application, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a tea and coffee integrated machine system, which integrates multiple functions such as coffee extraction, tea preparation, raw material refrigeration, and automatic cleaning. The system consists of four core systems: a liquid system, a control system, a power supply system, and a mechanical structure.

[0029] The liquid system is the core functional system for beverage preparation and pipeline cleaning, and specifically includes: coffee liquid supply module, hot water supply module, countertop refrigerated raw material supply module, under-counter refrigerated raw material supply module, room temperature raw material supply module, steam cleaning module, circulating heating module, beverage dispensing module, cleaning module and drainage system.

[0030] The system comprises the following modules: a coffee liquid supply module for coffee extraction and output; a hot water supply module for providing hot water as a beverage ingredient or cleaning medium; a countertop refrigerated ingredient supply module for refrigerating and outputting viscous liquid ingredients; an under-counter refrigerated ingredient supply module for refrigerating and outputting regular liquid ingredients; an ambient temperature ingredient supply module for storing and outputting ingredients at ambient temperature; a steam cleaning module for generating high-temperature steam to clean and disinfect pipelines; a circulating heating module for heating cold ingredients; a beverage dispensing module for dispensing prepared beverages to receiving containers; a cleaning module for controlling the input of cleaning liquids and performing pipeline cleaning, disinfection, and drainage functions; and a drainage system for collecting and discharging wastewater generated by each module. All modules are interconnected via food-grade piping and work collaboratively under the unified control system.

[0031] It should be noted that the beverage dispensing module described in the above embodiments includes at least one dispensing connector and a dispensing pipe inserted thereon. In this embodiment, to improve dispensing efficiency, two independent dispensing outlets are provided, which can simultaneously hold two beverages. A drip tray and a splash-proof structure can be provided at the dispensing outlet location to ensure a clean work surface.

[0032] The control system includes a main control screen and corresponding control application, a coffee module control system, a water heater control system, an integrated control system for other modules, an inter-board communication module, and a sensor signal recognition module. The main control screen serves as the human-machine interface, receiving user commands and displaying equipment status; each sub-control system is responsible for the execution of specific modules; inter-board communication enables the linkage between modules; sensor signals are used to detect states such as liquid level, temperature, and flow rate, serving as trigger conditions for the control logic.

[0033] The power supply system uses 220V AC mains power as the main power source to directly power each heating module (such as water boiler, steam generator, and circulating furnace); at the same time, it outputs low-voltage DC such as 24VDC and 12VDC through AC / DC conversion module to power low-voltage components such as control board, sensors, communication module, and peristaltic pump.

[0034] The mechanical structure includes mounting brackets, housings, pipe fasteners, etc., for supporting and covering the functional components to form a unified whole machine.

[0035] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the coffee liquid supply module includes:

[0036] The coffee maker includes at least one solenoid valve V21, solenoid valve V22, and solenoid valve V23 for distributing coffee liquid, and corresponding piping; wherein the solenoid valve controls the coffee liquid to enter the storage container of the under-counter refrigerator or to be directly output to the dispensing module.

[0037] For example, when the system is in pre-extraction mode, solenoid valve V21 or solenoid valve V22 opens to temporarily store the coffee liquid in a storage container located in the under-counter refrigerator for later quick dispensing; when the system is in instant dispensing mode, the coffee liquid is directly delivered to the dispensing module through the pipeline; solenoid valve V23 is connected to the drain pipeline for discharging residual liquid from the coffee machine during non-making periods or cleaning, preventing dripping and contamination of the equipment's interior.

[0038] Furthermore, this module can be configured to output multiple coffee liquids according to actual needs. For example, different coffee beans with different roast levels can be set to correspond to different coffee machines, or the same coffee machine can be divided into multiple output branches, each controlled by an independent solenoid valve, to achieve selective output of various coffee liquids.

[0039] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the hot water supply module includes:

[0040] The system includes a water boiler, a water pump P2, a solenoid valve V14, and a solenoid valve V04. Solenoid valve V14 controls the output of hot water to the drinking module, and solenoid valve V04 controls the output of hot water to the cleaning module. The water boiler has a built-in heating element and thermostat, which heats the incoming water to a set temperature (e.g., adjustable from 60℃ to 98℃) and maintains a constant temperature.

[0041] It should be noted that when the system needs to dispense hot beverages, the control system starts the water pump P2 and simultaneously opens the solenoid valve V14, allowing hot water to be output to the receiving container via the dispensing module. When the system executes the pipeline cleaning procedure, the system control opens the solenoid valve V04, allowing hot water to enter the cleaning circuit for high-temperature flushing and disinfection of the corresponding pipelines. The water pump P2 adopts a high-temperature resistant structure, and both solenoid valves V14 and V04 are high-temperature resistant solenoid valves. The pipelines use high-temperature resistant food-grade flexible tubing (such as silicone tubing or Teflon tubing) to ensure long-term reliability.

[0042] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the countertop refrigerated raw material supply module, the under-counter refrigerated raw material supply module, and the ambient temperature raw material supply module each include:

[0043] A refrigerator or storage unit, at least one delivery pump, and food-grade hose;

[0044] The delivery pump is a peristaltic pump, and each output pump corresponds to a raw material output pipeline, which is used to send the raw material from the storage container to the beverage dispensing module.

[0045] It should be noted that the countertop refrigerated raw material supply module, under-counter refrigerated raw material supply module, and room temperature raw material supply module in this embodiment have similar structural principles, differing only in storage temperature and raw material form. The countertop refrigerated raw material supply module is mainly used for viscous liquid raw materials (such as syrup, jam, condensed milk, etc.), employing a small air-cooled or direct-cooled refrigerator, which can hold multiple raw material containers. Each raw material container corresponds to a delivery pump (P28 to P32 in the figure). The pump inlet is inserted into the bottom of the container through a food-grade hose, and the outlet pipe converges and connects to the dispensing module. A peristaltic pump is preferred because it does not contact the internal pump components, ensuring good hygiene, and is suitable for delivering viscous liquids.

[0046] The under-stage refrigerated ingredient supply module is used for large-volume conventional liquid ingredients (such as milk, tea, juice, pre-extracted coffee, etc.). It uses a large refrigerated refrigerator that can hold multiple ingredient containers or bags. The number of delivery pumps can be configured according to actual needs (P5 to P19 in the diagram), with each pump corresponding to one type of ingredient. The ambient temperature ingredient supply module is used for ambient temperature storage ingredients such as syrups. It has a similar structure, with the storage tank maintaining an ambient temperature environment, and the pump sets are P20 to P27.

[0047] All delivery pumps are food-grade peristaltic pumps, and the piping uses food-grade silicone tubing to ensure that the raw materials are not contaminated during transportation. The pump sets in each module can be flexibly added or removed according to the actual beverage formula requirements, and the modular design facilitates expansion and maintenance.

[0048] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the steam cleaning module includes a water supply valve V03, a water supply pump P3, a steam generator G2, and a two-position three-way output valve V05;

[0049] One end of the water supply valve V03 is connected to one end of the water supply pump P3, and the other end of the water supply pump P3 is connected to one end of the steam generator G2. The other end of the steam generator G2 is connected to the input port of the two-position three-way output valve V05. One output of the two-position three-way output valve V05 is connected to the heating circuit, and the other circuit of the two-position three-way output valve V05 is connected to the drainage pipe.

[0050] Specifically, when the system needs to perform steam cleaning, the water supply valve V03 and water supply pump P3 are first opened to deliver filtered pure water to the steam generator G2. The evaporator G2 is equipped with a heating element that heats the water to a high-temperature, high-pressure steam state. The steam is distributed via the output valve V05: when the heating circuit needs cleaning, the output valve switches to the corresponding branch, and the steam enters different heating pipelines through distribution valves V07, V08, and V09, using the high-temperature steam to dissolve grease and kill microorganisms; when pressure relief or venting is required, the output valve switches to the drain pipeline, discharging residual steam into the drainage system.

[0051] It should be noted that this module can also be used for pipeline emptying: when the pipeline needs to be replaced with raw materials or when the machine is shut down for a long time, steam can be introduced to purge the residual liquid in the pipeline, preventing deterioration and blockage.

[0052] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the circulating heating module includes a circulating furnace G1, a water supply valve V02, a circulating pump P4, a two-position three-way circulating valve V06, a liquid level sensor LL1, and a temperature sensor T1; the two-position three-way circulating valve V06 is used to switch between circulating heating function and drainage function.

[0053] The circulating furnace G1 is an insulated boiler containing water as the heat transfer medium. When raw materials need heating, water is first injected into the circulating furnace through the water supply valve V02 to the set level (monitored by the level sensor LL1). The heating element is then activated to heat the water to the set temperature (monitored by the temperature sensor T1). The circulating pump P4 starts, drawing the hot water out of the furnace and sending it back to the top of the circulating furnace via the circulating valve V06 (at this point, the circulation direction is switched), forming a water circulation. The raw material pipe is immersed in the water of the circulating furnace, achieving uniform heating of the cold raw material inside the pipe through heat exchange.

[0054] When it is necessary to drain the water from the circulating furnace, the circulation valve V06 switches to the drainage direction, and the circulation pump P4 draws the water out of the furnace and discharges it into the drainage system. This module has automatic water replenishment and automatic drainage functions, and the circulating water can be replaced at set intervals according to the program to ensure hygiene.

[0055] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning module includes at least five control valves, respectively used to control air intake and exhaust, water intake for rinsing, milk cleaning solution intake, disinfectant intake, and stain remover intake; as well as corresponding cleaning solution storage containers and cleaning pipe assemblies. It should be noted that V15 controls the input of compressed air to vent the pipes; V16 controls the input of clean water to rinse the pipes; V17 controls the input of milk-specific cleaning solution; V18 controls the input of disinfectant; and V19 controls the input of stain remover.

[0056] Specifically, the outputs of each control valve are connected via pipelines to the cleaning pipeline assemblies of the countertop refrigerated raw material supply module, the under-counter refrigerated raw material supply module, and the ambient temperature raw material supply module. During the cleaning process, the control system sequentially opens the corresponding valves, introducing different cleaning media into each raw material pipeline. Combined with functions such as circulating heating and steam cleaning, it achieves cleaning, soaking, disinfection, and evacuation of the entire pipeline. Different cleaning programs, such as daily, weekly, and monthly cleaning, can be preset through the control system. Manual intervention is only required to prepare the cleaning solution and confirm the start command; the remaining steps are completed automatically.

[0057] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2As shown, the drainage system includes a wastewater discharge box, connecting pipes and their joints, used to centrally discharge wastewater generated by each module to the outside of the equipment. Specifically, the drainage system includes a wastewater discharge box and drainage pipes connecting each module. Wastewater generated by the coffee supply module, hot water supply module, steam cleaning module, circulating heating module, etc., is guided to the wastewater discharge box through pipes, and finally collected and discharged into the external sewer pipe or wastewater recovery device through the drain outlet at the bottom of the equipment. A liquid level sensor can be installed in the wastewater discharge box; when the liquid level is too high, an alarm will sound or the drainage pump will be automatically started.

[0058] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control system includes a main control screen and control application, a coffee module control system, a water heater control system, an integrated control system for other modules, an inter-board communication module, and a sensor signal recognition module.

[0059] For example, this system may include the following control logic:

[0060] 1. Location-based product logic (for reference) Figure 3 The user selects the beverage type (such as "Latte") through the main control screen. The control system analyzes the recipe and starts the corresponding raw material pumps (such as milk pump P5 and coffee pump P6) in sequence. The raw materials are injected into the cup according to the set order and dosage. Finally, the hot water pump or steam module is started to mix or froth the milk to complete the product.

[0061] 2. Quantitative Production Logic (Reference) Figure 4 The system supports batch production mode. The user sets the production quantity N, and the control system automatically executes the production process N times in a loop. Before each production run, the metering is automatically reset to zero to ensure consistency in the recipe for each beverage. First, the pump is started and runs at a preset speed, while the discharge valve is opened to begin pumping out a fixed amount of material. During the pumping process, the system continuously compares the real-time running time T with the standard single-serving production time T0. If the real-time running time T does not exceed the standard time T0, the pump and valve continue operating in a loop until the result is T > T0. When the condition T > T0 is met, the system immediately stops the pump and closes the discharge valve, terminating the quantitative production process. Subsequently, the system automatically records the successful completion of this cupping operation and simultaneously records the actual production volume, forming data traceability. This concludes the entire control process for quantitative production N.

[0062] 3. Automatic cleaning logic for hot water pipes: The system has multiple preset cleaning modes for hot water pipes. When hot water cleaning is performed, the control system sequentially activates the hot water supply module to inject hot water into the hot water pipes to be cleaned, which are then drained after soaking for a certain period of time. When steam cleaning is performed, the steam cleaning module is activated to introduce high-temperature steam into the pipes for disinfection.

[0063] (1) Automatic hot water cleaning logic for heat pipes

[0064] Figure 5 The control process for automatic hot water flushing of designated hot pipes (hot pipes 1 / 2 / 3, corresponding valves V07 / V08 / V09) is described: Starting with the “Automatic Hot Water Cleaning Hot Pipe N Command”, the system starts pump P2, opens valves V04 and Vx (V07 / V08 / V09) of the corresponding hot pipes, and starts timing.

[0065] The system continuously checks whether the set hot water flushing time TOS (tentatively set at 20 seconds) has been reached. If it has not been reached, the current state is maintained and flushing continues. If it has been reached, pump P2 is stopped, V04 and the corresponding valve Vx are closed, and finally the system reports that the hot water cleaning of the corresponding pipeline N is complete, and the process ends.

[0066] (2) Automatic steam cleaning logic for heat pipes

[0067] Figure 6 The control process for automatic steam sterilization of designated hot pipelines (hot pipelines 1 / 2 / 3, corresponding to valves V07 / V08 / V09) is described: Starting with the "Automatic Steam Cleaning Hot Pipeline N Command," the steam supply logic is first triggered. Valve Vx (V07 / V08 / V09) of the corresponding hot pipeline is opened and a timer begins. The system continuously checks if the timer has reached the set steam rinsing time TO8 (tentatively set at 30 seconds). If not, the valve remains open and sterilization continues; if it has, the steam supply is stopped and the corresponding valve Vx is closed. Finally, the system reports that steam cleaning of the corresponding pipeline N is complete, and the process ends.

[0068] In summary, the tea and coffee integrated machine system of this application integrates multiple functions such as coffee extraction, raw material cold storage, quantitative conveying, circulating heating, and steam cleaning into one unit. One device can replace multiple independent devices, significantly reducing space occupation and equipment procurement costs. Through unified scheduling by the control system, the entire process from raw material proportioning to product output is automated, supporting batch production mode and significantly improving production efficiency and consistency. The system has a built-in automatic cleaning module that, combined with hot water and steam functions, can automatically perform operations such as pipeline flushing, disinfection, and evacuation. Only minimal manual intervention is required for deep cleaning, effectively solving the problems of incomplete cleaning and time-consuming processes associated with traditional equipment. The modular design allows for flexible addition or removal of raw material loops according to operational needs, adapting to stores of different sizes. Sensors monitor key parameters in real time, and combined with closed-loop control, achieve precise quantitative dispensing and heating, ensuring stable product quality. This invention significantly reduces the number of devices and maintenance costs, improving store operational efficiency and profitability.
