Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of beverage equipment technology, and in particular to a beverage equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Existing beverage equipment on the market mainly includes coffee machines and beverage dispensers, which generally have relatively limited functions. Some coffee machines also have powder preparation functions, allowing them to grind beans for brewing coffee and make beverages. Some coffee machines also have refrigerator functions to store liquid ingredients for making coffee or beverages, such as milk and coconut juice. However, existing multi-functional beverage equipment is relatively large, mostly cabinet-style, which lacks flexibility and is inconvenient to move and transport. In addition, there is still room for optimization and improvement in the functionality of this type of beverage equipment. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a beverage device that is compact in structure, small in size, easy to move, and flexible.
[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0011] Furthermore, the coffee machine also includes multiple grinders, which are arranged one-to-one below the multiple bean hoppers, and the grinders and the brewer are staggered in the vertical direction.
[0012] Furthermore, the coffee machine also includes a steam boiler and a hot water boiler located below the bean hopper, the steam boiler and the hot water boiler being arranged side by side along a first direction behind the brewer.
[0013] Furthermore, the mini-fridge includes:
[0014] Refrigerator;
[0015] The first liquid pipe connector is fixed to the refrigerator, and the first port of the first liquid pipe connector is connected to the beverage outlet through a pipe, while the second port of the first liquid pipe connector is suspended inside the refrigerator.
[0016] The box body is placed inside the refrigerator, and the box body has a liquid storage tank for holding liquid beverage ingredients;
[0017] The upper cover plate covers the opening of the box body, and a guide block is protruding on the side of the upper cover plate facing the box body, and one end of the guide block forms a guide surface that can slide and connect with the edge of the opening of the box body;
[0018] The second liquid pipe connector is fixed to the upper cover plate, and the first interface of the second liquid pipe connector extends into the liquid storage tank through a hose. The second interface of the second liquid pipe connector is pluggably connected to the second port.
[0019] The insertion and extraction force between the second interface and the second port is greater than the frictional force between the guide surface and the opening edge of the housing.
[0020] Furthermore, the front end face of the refrigerator is provided with guide ribs, which are used to guide the condensate formed on the refrigerator into the water storage pan.
[0021] Furthermore, the guide block extends along the pull-out direction of the box body and is clearance-fitted with the inner wall of the box body, and the guide surface is formed at one end of the guide block near the inside of the refrigerator.
[0022] Furthermore, the second liquid pipe connector includes a first pipe segment extending in the pulling direction, and the first liquid pipe connector includes a third pipe segment extending in the pulling direction, wherein the first pipe segment and the third pipe segment are pluggably connected.
[0023] The outer peripheral wall of the third pipe section has a groove, and a sealing element is provided in the groove. The sealing element abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the first pipe section, and the frictional force between the sealing element and the inner peripheral wall of the first pipe section is greater than the frictional force between the guide surface and the opening edge of the box.
[0024] Furthermore, it also includes a compressor located above the refrigerator, a heat dissipation assembly located behind the refrigerator, and a protective cover.

One end of the elastic reset member abuts against the second protrusion, and the other end abuts against the fixed base.
[0040] Furthermore, a second retaining ring is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the second protrusion. When the first hook is in the first locking position, the second retaining ring abuts against the column.
[0041] Furthermore, the column is provided with a second guide hole through which the second protrusion passes, and the second protrusion can reciprocate along the axial direction of the second guide hole.
[0042] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are:
[0043] 1. By rationally arranging the coffee machine, mini-fridge, and multiple powder dispensers in different areas of the rack, an extremely compact structural layout is achieved, making the entire beverage equipment small in size, easy to move, and highly flexible.
[0044] 2. A guide block protrudes from the side of the top cover facing the cabinet, and one end of the guide block forms a guide surface that can slide and connect with the opening edge of the cabinet. The insertion and extraction force between the second interface and the second port is greater than the frictional force between the guide surface and the opening edge of the cabinet. When liquid beverage ingredients need to be added, because the insertion and extraction force between the second interface and the second port is greater than the frictional force between the guide surface and the opening edge of the cabinet, when the user pulls the cabinet outward in the pulling direction W, the top cover remains stationary, and the guide block slides along the opening edge of the cabinet until the cabinet is partially pulled out, allowing the user to directly add liquid beverage ingredients to the storage tank. During the entire process of adding liquid beverage ingredients, it is not necessary to remove the entire cabinet from the refrigerator; only a portion needs to be pulled out. This convenient operation saves time and effort, making it particularly suitable for scenarios where ingredients are frequently added, such as the daily operation of a coffee shop, thus improving work efficiency.
[0045] 3. The entire refrigerator's refrigeration system is enclosed by a protective cover with air inlets and outlets. The heat dissipation components are fixed at the outlets. During operation, the air inlets and outlets on the protective cover, in conjunction with the heat dissipation components, create efficient air circulation, effectively dissipating the heat generated by the compressor, lowering the internal temperature of the refrigerator, improving refrigeration efficiency, and extending the lifespan of the refrigerator's components. This refrigerator structure is suitable for use in beverage equipment. If refrigerant leaks, it can be directly discharged from the bottom outlet of the refrigerator, preventing flammable refrigerant from leaking into the complex beverage equipment environment and posing an explosion risk, thus reducing safety risks.
[0046] 4. By incorporating an overflow chamber, overflowing brewing liquid is prevented from clogging the powder mixing unit, thus affecting the normal operation of the powder mixer and reducing the efficiency and quality of beverage preparation. Furthermore, it prevents overflowing brewing liquid (especially hot water) from entering the powder hopper from the mixing unit, causing the powder to become damp and clump, affecting its quality and subsequent use. It also prevents brewing liquid from overflowing into other parts of the equipment and damaging surrounding electronic components.
[0047] 5. A dehumidification vent is formed on the overflow chamber, and the vent is connected to a dehumidification fan via a pipe. The dehumidification fan can effectively remove moisture from the overflow chamber, which not only helps to keep the overflow chamber dry and prevents condensation, odors, or bacterial growth caused by moisture accumulation, but also improves the humidity of the entire equipment, providing a more suitable working environment for other electronic components and further enhancing the overall performance and stability of the equipment.
[0048] 6. By forming a drain port on the overflow chamber and connecting the drain port to the drain pipe, the overflow chamber collects the overflowing brewing liquid and discharges it into the water storage pan through the drain pipe connected to the drain port, thereby preventing the brewing liquid from entering the dehumidifying fan through the pipeline or overflowing into other parts of the equipment.
[0049] 7. This application only requires inserting one key into the lock cylinder body, and rotating the key can simultaneously control the opening and closing of the first and second door panels. This improvement greatly saves operation time, reduces the confusion caused by staff frequently searching for and using different keys when busy, makes the operation process simpler and more efficient, and significantly improves work efficiency.

[0075] The following detailed, non-limiting description of the invention's technical solutions, in conjunction with preferred embodiments and accompanying drawings, is provided. In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the invention, and should not be construed as limiting the invention.
[0076] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the beverage equipment of the present invention includes a frame 100, a coffee machine 200, a small refrigerator 300, and multiple powder dispensers 400. The frame 100 includes a first installation area and a second installation area arranged side by side along a first direction D1. The coffee machine 200 is arranged in the first installation area, and the small refrigerator 300 is arranged below the second installation area; the multiple powder dispensers 400 are arranged above the second installation area. By rationally arranging the coffee machine 200, the small refrigerator 300, and the multiple powder dispensers 400 in different areas of the frame 100, an extremely compact structural layout is achieved, making the entire beverage equipment small in size, easy to move, and highly flexible. The first and second installation areas are arranged side by side along the first direction D1, making the functional modules clearly divided, facilitating operation and maintenance. The small refrigerator 300 is arranged below the second installation area, which conforms to people's daily usage habits, making it more convenient to access refrigerated items. The multiple powder dispensers 400 are arranged above the second installation area, making full use of the vertical dimension of space, avoiding excessive occupation of planar space, resulting in a more compact structure, easy movement, and high flexibility.
[0077] like Figure 1 As shown, the beverage equipment also includes a water storage tray 600, which is fixed to the bottom of the frame 100 and located in front of both the coffee machine 200 and the small refrigerator 300.
[0078] like Figure 3 As shown, the coffee machine 200 includes multiple bean hoppers 210 arranged side-by-side along a first direction D1 above the first installation area. These bean hoppers 210 are positioned adjacent to each other. This side-by-side arrangement makes efficient use of the lateral dimensions of the top of the coffee machine 200, maximizing the space utilization between the bean hoppers 210 and resulting in a more regular and compact structure. In terms of size, the side-by-side arrangement of the bean hoppers effectively controls the lateral dimensions of the coffee machine, meeting the storage needs of various coffee beans without excessively increasing the machine's footprint. This achieves a compact structure and small size while ensuring functional diversity, providing users with a more convenient and efficient user experience.
[0079] like Figure 3As shown, the coffee machine 200 also includes a brewer 220, a grounds container 221, a water tank 230, a water pump 240, and a milk pump 250. The brewer 220, water tank 230, water pump 240, and milk pump 250 are all arranged below the bean hopper 210. The grounds container 221 is located directly below the brewer 220, and the water tank 230 is positioned on the side of the brewer 220 and / or the grounds container 221 closest to the small refrigerator 300. The water pump 240 and milk pump 250 are arranged vertically on the side of the brewer 220 and / or the grounds container 221 away from the small refrigerator 300. By uniformly placing the brewer 220, water tank 230, water pump 240, and milk pump 250 below the bean hopper 210, the vertical space of the coffee machine 200 is fully utilized, redundant horizontal space is avoided, and the rationality of the structural layout is significantly improved. Since the lateral dimensions of the brewer 220 and / or the grounds container 221 are smaller than those of the multiple bean hoppers 210, placing the water tank 230 on the side of the brewer 220 closer to the small refrigerator 300, and the water pump 240 and milk pump 250 on the side of the brewer 220 away from the small refrigerator 300, makes full use of the corner areas inside the equipment, resulting in a more compact overall layout. Furthermore, the vertical arrangement of the water pump 240 and milk pump 250 further saves lateral space in the coffee machine 200, significantly reducing the equipment's footprint.
[0080] like Figure 3 As shown, the coffee machine 200 also includes multiple grinders 260, which are arranged one-to-one below multiple bean hoppers 210, and the grinders 260 and brewer 220 are vertically staggered. The arrangement of the grinders 260 below the bean hoppers 210 allows coffee beans to fall smoothly from the hoppers 210 into their corresponding grinders 260 by gravity, eliminating the need for complex mechanical transmission devices and greatly simplifying the internal structure. The vertical staggered distribution of the grinders 260 and brewer 220 utilizes the extra space on both sides of the brewer 220 to accommodate the grinders 260, significantly reducing the vertical dimensions of the coffee machine.
[0081] like Figure 4 As shown, the coffee machine 200 also includes a steam boiler 270 and a hot water boiler 280 located below the bean hopper 210. The steam boiler 270 and the hot water boiler 280 are arranged side by side along the first direction D1 behind the brewer 220, making full use of the space formed between the bottom of the bean hopper 210 and the rear of the brewer 220, thus improving their compactness.
[0082] like Figure 5As shown, the mini-refrigerator 300 includes a refrigerator compartment 310, a compressor 320 disposed above the refrigerator compartment 310, and a heat dissipation assembly 330 located behind the refrigerator compartment 310. The front end face of the refrigerator compartment 310 has a protruding guide rib 312, which guides the condensate formed on the refrigerator compartment 310 into a water storage pan 600. In this embodiment, the guide rib 312 has a V-shaped structure, and the lowest point of the guide rib 312 forms a guide opening 312 communicating with the water storage pan 600. When condensate forms in the refrigerator compartment 310 due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside, the water droplets slide rapidly down the inclined surface of the guide rib 312 under the action of gravity and eventually enter the water storage pan 600 from the guide opening 313.
[0083] The powder feeder 400 includes a powder hopper 410, a powder feeding unit 420, a powder feeding motor 430, and a powder mixing unit 440. The powder feeding unit 420 is located at the bottom of the powder hopper 410, the powder feeding motor 430 is located at the rear end of the powder feeding unit 420, and the powder mixing unit 440 is located at the front end of the powder feeding unit 420. The powder mixing unit 440 and the compressor 320 are arranged front-to-back in the horizontal direction. By arranging the powder mixing unit 440 and the compressor 320 in the horizontal direction, spatial conflicts between the two are avoided, the internal lateral space of the equipment is fully utilized, and the overall height of the powder feeder 400 and the small refrigerator 300 combined is reduced.
[0084] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple powder feeders 400 are arranged side by side along the first direction D1. This side-by-side arrangement makes full use of the lateral space above the small refrigerator 300, reducing unnecessary spacing and redundant space. It avoids the space waste that might result from a staggered layout and further compresses the size of the equipment in the horizontal direction.
[0085] like Figure 3 As shown, the powder silo 410 and the bean silo 210 are arranged side by side along the first direction D1. This arrangement makes full use of the horizontal space of the equipment, making the material storage area more concentrated and achieving a more regular and compact overall structure. Furthermore, the side-by-side arrangement of the powder silo 410 and the bean silo 210 creates a neat and uniform visual effect, making the equipment look more aesthetically pleasing.
[0086] In another embodiment of the present invention, multiple powder feeders 400 and a small refrigerator 300 are integrated into one unit. By integrating multiple powder feeders and a small refrigerator into one unit, this integrated design reduces the space gap between various functional modules, thereby significantly reducing the size of the entire beverage equipment and making the structure more compact.
[0087] like Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the beverage equipment of this application also includes a large refrigerator 500, which can replace the powder dispenser 400 and the small refrigerator 300 integrated into one unit. Designing the integrated powder dispenser 400 and the small refrigerator 300 as replaceable modular components meets the differentiated needs of different customers for beverage preparation, achieving flexibility in the beverage equipment while reducing product processing costs. One mold can form two product categories: a powder-based version and a powder-free version. It can be understood that the large refrigerator 500 in this application can be understood as a larger refrigerator, meaning that along the first direction D1, the entire right side space of the coffee machine 200 is occupied by the refrigerator. The small refrigerator 300 can be understood as a smaller refrigerator, meaning that along the first direction D1, the entire right side space of the coffee machine 200 is jointly occupied by the powder dispenser 400 and the refrigerator.
[0088] like Figures 7-10 As shown, the mini-fridge 300 includes a refrigerator compartment 310, a first liquid pipe connector 350, a cabinet 360, a top cover 370, and a second liquid pipe connector 380. The first liquid pipe connector 350 is fixed to the refrigerator compartment 310, and its first port 351 is connected to a beverage outlet (e.g., a milk frother connected to the beverage outlet if the liquid beverage ingredient is milk). The second port 352 of the first liquid pipe connector 350 is suspended inside the refrigerator compartment 310. The cabinet 360 is placed inside the refrigerator compartment 310 and has a liquid storage tank 361 for containing liquid beverage ingredients. The top cover 370 covers the opening of the cabinet 360. The second liquid pipe connector 380 is fixed to the top cover 370, and its first interface 381 extends into the liquid storage tank 361 through a flexible hose 385. The second interface 382 of the second liquid pipe connector 380 is pluggably connected to the second port 352. When it is necessary to use liquid beverage ingredients (such as milk) in the storage tank 361 to make a beverage, the liquid beverage ingredients enter the second liquid pipe connector 380 through the hose 385, and then pass through the channel connecting the second interface 382 of the second liquid pipe connector 380 to the second port 352 of the first liquid pipe connector 350, and finally be transported from the first port 351 to the beverage outlet through the pipeline.
[0089] like Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, a guide block 371 protrudes from the side of the upper cover 370 facing the housing 360, and one end of the guide block 371 forms a guide surface 372 that can slide with the opening edge 365 of the housing 360. The insertion and extraction force between the second interface 382 and the second port 352 is greater than the frictional force between the guide surface 372 and the opening edge 365 of the housing 360. When liquid beverage ingredients need to be added, because the insertion and extraction force between the second interface 382 and the second port 352 is greater than the frictional force between the guide surface 372 and the opening edge 365 of the housing 360, when the user pulls the housing 360 outward in the pulling direction W, the upper cover 370 remains stationary, and the guide block 371 slides along the opening edge 365 of the housing 360 until the housing 360 is partially pulled out, allowing the user to directly add liquid beverage ingredients to the storage tank 361. After adding, the housing 360 is pushed back in the pulling direction W. When adding liquid beverage ingredients, there is no need to remove the entire box 360 from the refrigerator 310; only a portion of the box 360 needs to be removed. This operation is convenient and saves a lot of time and effort, making it especially suitable for scenarios where ingredients are frequently added, such as the daily operation of a coffee shop, thus improving work efficiency.
[0090] like Figure 12 As shown, the guide block 371 is clearance-fitted with the inner wall 362 of the cabinet 360 and extends along the pulling direction W of the cabinet 360. This ensures that the cabinet 360 does not obstruct the guide block 371, allowing for smooth pulling of the cabinet 360 by the user. It prevents radial displacement of the cabinet 360 during the pulling process, ensuring stability and accuracy and reducing potential damage caused by shaking or displacement. Furthermore, the guide surface 372 is formed at one end of the guide block 371 near the interior of the refrigerator 310.
[0091] like Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, a limiting block 373 protrudes from the side of the upper cover plate 370 facing the box body 360. The limiting block 373 is located on the side of the guide block 371 opposite to the guide surface 372 and is used to limit the box body 360. By setting the limiting block 373 to limit the box body 360, the stability and accuracy of the box body 360 in the process of resetting after the liquid beverage raw materials (such as milk) are filled are ensured.
[0092] like Figure 12 As shown, the opening edge 365 of the housing 360 extends radially outward to form an extension edge 363, which is used to support the upper cover plate 370 and provides more stable support for the upper cover plate 370.
[0093] like Figure 9As shown, the second liquid pipe connector 380 includes a first pipe section 383 extending along the pulling direction W, and the first liquid pipe connector 350 includes a third pipe section 353 extending along the pulling direction W. The first pipe section 383 and the third pipe section 353 are pluggably connected. When the housing 360 needs to be cleaned, the user needs to remove the housing 360 and the top cover 370 together. This can be done by directly pulling the housing 360 and the top cover 370 outwards along the pulling direction W. When the applied pulling force is greater than the insertion and extraction force between the second interface 382 and the second port 352, the first liquid pipe connector 350 and the second liquid pipe connector 380 separate, at which point the housing 360 and the top cover 370 can be completely removed for cleaning. Furthermore, the second interface 382 is located at the opening of the first pipe section 383, and the second interface 382 is flared. When the cleaning is complete and the housing 360 and the top cover 370 need to be reset, simply push the housing 360 and the top cover 370 inward along the pulling direction W until the first liquid pipe connector 350 and the second liquid pipe connector 380 are properly aligned. By setting the second interface 382 in a funnel shape, the precision requirement for aligning the first liquid pipe connector 350 and the second liquid pipe connector 380 is reduced, making it easier for the user to insert the first liquid pipe connector 350 into the second interface 382.
[0094] Further reference Figure 9 The outer peripheral wall of the third pipe section 353 is provided with a groove 354, and a sealing element 355 is provided in the groove 354. The sealing element 355 abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the first pipe section 383, and the friction between the sealing element 355 and the inner peripheral wall of the first pipe section 383 is greater than the friction between the guide surface 372 and the opening edge 365 of the box body 360. This not only ensures the sealing of the liquid beverage raw material during transportation and prevents liquid leakage, but also further ensures the connection stability between the upper cover plate 370 and the first liquid pipe joint 350 when the box body 360 is pulled out, avoiding liquid leakage problems caused by loosening.
[0095] The second liquid pipe connector 380 also includes a second pipe section 384 that communicates with the first pipe section 383, and the second pipe section 384 is arranged vertically for connecting the hose 385.
[0096] like Figure 9 As shown, the upper cover plate 370 protrudes outward to form a stop 374, which abuts against the first pipe section 383 to prevent excessive force from being applied during the docking process of the first liquid pipe joint 350 and the second liquid pipe joint 380, which could cause the first pipe section 383 to move excessively or be damaged.
[0097] like Figure 10 As shown, the side of the box 360 is also equipped with a handle 364, which makes it convenient for users to pull out the box 360.
[0098] The refrigerator 310 is fixed with a mounting base 311, and the first liquid pipe connector 350 is fixed on the mounting base 311.
[0099] like Figure 8 and Figure 13 As shown, the mini-refrigerator 300 also includes a compressor 320 located above the refrigerator compartment 310, a heat dissipation assembly 330 located behind the refrigerator compartment 310, and a protective cover 390. The protective cover 390 covers the refrigerator compartment 310, the compressor 320, and the heat dissipation assembly 330. The entire refrigerator refrigeration system is covered by the protective cover 390, which has an air inlet 391 and an air outlet 392. The heat dissipation assembly 330 is fixed at the air outlet 392. During operation, the air inlet 391 and air outlet 392 on the protective cover 390 cooperate with the heat dissipation assembly 330 to form good air circulation, which can dissipate the heat generated by the compressor 320 in a timely manner, effectively reducing the internal temperature of the refrigerator, improving refrigeration efficiency, and extending the service life of the refrigerator components. The refrigerator structure of this application is suitable for beverage equipment. If there is a refrigerant leak, it can be directly discharged from the air outlet 392 at the bottom of the refrigerator, preventing flammable refrigerant from leaking into the complex beverage equipment environment and causing an explosion risk, thereby reducing safety risks. In this embodiment, the heat dissipation component 330 is preferably a fan.
[0100] The working principle of this application is as follows: When liquid beverage ingredients need to be added, since the insertion and extraction force between the second interface 382 and the second port 352 is greater than the frictional force between the guide surface 372 and the opening edge 365 of the housing 360, the user can pull the housing 360 outward in the pulling direction W using the handle 364. At this time, the upper cover 370 remains stationary, and the guide block 371 slides along the opening edge 365 of the housing 360 until the housing 360 is partially pulled out, making it convenient for the user to directly add liquid beverage ingredients to the storage tank 361. After adding, the housing 360 is pushed back in the pulling direction W, and the limiting block 373 limits the housing 360 to ensure that it returns to the appropriate position.
[0101] like Figures 14-16As shown, the beverage equipment includes a frame 100 and a coffee machine 200, a small refrigerator 300, and a powder dispenser 400 arranged on the frame 100. The powder dispenser 400 includes a powder hopper 410, a powder feeding unit 420, a powder mixing unit 440, a powder feeding motor 430, and an overflow chamber 450. The powder hopper 410 is located at the top of the powder dispenser 400 and is used to store powder. The powder feeding unit 420 is arranged below the powder hopper 410. The powder mixing unit 440 is connected to one end of the powder feeding unit 420 and is used to receive the brewing liquid and fully mix the brewing liquid and powder. The powder feeding motor 430 is connected to the other end of the powder feeding unit 420 and is used to drive the powder feeding screw 421 in the powder feeding unit 420 to rotate and push the powder into the powder mixing unit 440. The overflow chamber 450 is connected to the powder mixing unit 440 and is used to receive the brewing liquid overflowing from the powder mixing unit 440. When the beverage equipment starts working, the powder feeding motor 430 starts, transmitting power to the powder feeding screw 421 in the powder feeding unit 420, causing the screw 421 to rotate. Driven by the screw 421, the powder at the bottom of the powder hopper 410 is conveyed through the powder feeding unit 420 to the powder mixing unit 440. Simultaneously, brewing liquid (such as hot water) enters the powder mixing unit 440 and mixes with the powder to produce a beverage that meets quality requirements. During beverage preparation, if the liquid level in the powder mixing unit 440 rises above the preset position due to excessive brewing liquid flow or other reasons, the excess brewing liquid will flow into the overflow chamber 450 to prevent overflowing liquid from clogging the powder mixing unit 440, affecting the normal operation of the powder dispenser 400, and reducing the efficiency and quality of beverage preparation. On the other hand, it also avoids the possibility that overflowing brewing liquid (especially hot water) may enter the powder hopper 410 from the powder mixing unit 440, causing the powder to become damp and clump together, affecting the quality of the powder and its subsequent use. It also avoids the brewing liquid overflowing into other parts of the equipment and damaging the surrounding electronic components.
[0102] like Figure 17 As shown, the powder mixing unit 440 includes a mixing chamber body 441 with an overflow port 4410. An overflow chamber 450 communicates with the overflow port 4410. During beverage preparation, if the liquid level in the mixing chamber body 441 rises above a preset level due to excessive flow of the brewing liquid or other reasons, the excess brewing liquid flows into the overflow chamber 450 through the overflow port 4410. The overflow chamber 450 provides a reliable overflow protection mechanism for the powder mixing unit 440. The communication between the overflow port 4410 and the overflow chamber 450 ensures that excess brewing liquid is promptly discharged, preventing it from overflowing into the powder hopper 410 and causing the powder to become damp. It also prevents the liquid from flowing into the equipment body and damaging other electronic components, greatly improving the stability and reliability of the equipment, reducing maintenance costs and failure rates, and extending the equipment's service life.
[0103] The mixing chamber body 441 also has a feed inlet 4411 that is connected to one end of the powder feeding unit 420. The feed inlet 4411 is located above the overflow port 4410, so that the excess brewing liquid flows into the overflow chamber 450 through the overflow port 4410 before reaching the feed inlet 4411, thus preventing the brewing liquid from overflowing and entering the powder silo 410 through the feed inlet 4411, which would cause the powder to become damp.
[0104] A water inlet channel 4412 is also formed on the mixing chamber body 441, for reference. Figure 19 The outlet end of the water inlet channel 4412 is set along the tangential direction of the inner peripheral wall of the mixing chamber body 441, so that the brewing liquid will form a rotating water flow after entering the mixing chamber body 441, which will drive the powder to roll fully in the mixing chamber body 441, thereby enabling the powder and the brewing liquid to be mixed efficiently and fully in the mixing chamber body 441, so as to ensure the uniformity of the beverage mixing and improve the taste and quality of the beverage.
[0105] The bottom of the mixing chamber body 441 also has a liquid outlet channel 4413 for discharging the fully mixed beverage.
[0106] The powder mixing unit 440 also includes a mixing motor 442 and mixing blades fixed to the output shaft of the mixing motor 442. The mixing blades are located inside the mixing chamber body 441. During operation, the mixing motor 442 drives the mixing blades to rotate at high speed, further promoting the mixing of powder and brewing liquid to produce beverages that meet quality requirements.
[0107] like Figure 18 As shown, a dehumidification port 452 is formed on the overflow chamber 450, and the dehumidification port 452 is connected to a dehumidification fan 460 through a pipe. The dehumidification fan 460 can effectively extract moisture from the overflow chamber 450, which not only helps to keep the overflow chamber 450 dry and prevents odors or bacterial growth due to moisture accumulation, but also improves the humidity of the entire equipment, providing a more suitable working environment for other electronic components inside the equipment, and further improving the overall performance and stability of the equipment.
[0108] like Figure 18 As shown, an overflow chamber 450 has a drain outlet 451 connected to a drain pipe. The beverage equipment also includes a water storage pan 600, to which the drain pipe is connected. After collecting the overflowing brewing liquid, the overflow chamber 450 drains it into the water storage pan 600 through the drain pipe connected to the drain outlet 451, thus preventing the brewing liquid from entering the dehumidifier 460 or overflowing into other parts of the equipment through the pipe.
[0109] Furthermore, the powder dispenser 400 is designed to accommodate various types of powders, including fine coffee powder, milk powder, and larger fruit powders. All powders can be smoothly conveyed into the mixing chamber 441 by the powder feeding screw 421 and thoroughly mixed with the brewing liquid. This feature enables the beverage equipment to produce a wide variety of drinks, satisfying the diverse taste preferences of consumers in the market.
[0110] To improve beverage preparation efficiency, the beverage equipment includes multiple powder processors 400 arranged side-by-side. These multiple powder processors 400 operate independently, allowing the equipment to simultaneously prepare beverages using various powders, significantly improving efficiency. In high-traffic locations such as coffee shops and beverage stores, this can quickly meet diverse customer needs, reduce waiting times, and increase customer satisfaction. In this embodiment, two powder processors 400 are specifically arranged side-by-side.
[0111] The working principle of the powder feeder is as follows: When the beverage equipment starts working, the powder feeding motor 430 starts, and its power is transmitted to the powder feeding screw 421 in the powder feeding unit 420, causing the powder feeding screw 421 to start rotating. Under the spiral push of the powder feeding screw 421, the powder located at the bottom of the powder bin 410 is transported through the powder feeding unit 420 to the mixing chamber body 441 of the powder mixing unit 440. At the same time, the brewing liquid (such as hot water) enters the mixing chamber body 441 through the water inlet channel 4412. Since the outlet end of the water inlet channel 4412 is set along the tangential direction of the inner peripheral wall of the mixing chamber body 441, the brewing liquid will form a rotating water flow after entering the mixing chamber body 441, causing the powder to tumble fully in the mixing chamber body 441. The mixing motor 442 drives the mixing blades to rotate at high speed, further promoting the mixing of powder and brewing liquid, so that they can be quickly and fully integrated to produce beverage ingredients that meet the quality requirements. During beverage preparation, if the liquid level in the mixing chamber 441 rises above the overflow port 4410 due to excessive flow of the brewing liquid or other reasons, the excess brewing liquid will flow into the overflow chamber 450 through the overflow port 4410. The overflow chamber 450 collects this overflowing brewing liquid and discharges it into the water storage pan 600 through a drain pipe connected to the drain port 45, thus preventing the brewing liquid from overflowing into other parts of the equipment. Furthermore, the dehumidifier 460 dehumidifies the overflow chamber 450 through the dehumidifier port 452, preventing moisture accumulation from affecting other parts of the equipment, especially preventing damage to surrounding electronic components. When the beverage equipment needs to prepare beverages with various powders, multiple powder mixers 400 arranged side-by-side can work simultaneously. Each powder mixer 400 is responsible for conveying and mixing different powders, greatly improving the efficiency and versatility of beverage preparation.
[0112] like Figures 20-24As shown, the beverage equipment also includes a double-door linkage assembly, which includes a first door panel 290, a second door panel 340, a first latch 710, and a second latch 720. The first door panel 290 has a first locking groove 291 for engaging with the first latch 710, and the second door panel 340 has a second locking groove 341 for engaging with the second latch 720. The first latch 710 has a first open position and a first locked position, and the second latch 720 has a second open position and a second locked position. When the first latch 710 is in the first open position, it disengages from the first locking groove 291, allowing the first door panel 290 to open. Conversely, when the first latch 710 is in the first locked position, it engages with the first locking groove 291, preventing the first door panel 290 from opening. When the second latch 720 is in the second open position, the second latch 720 is disengaged from the second lock groove 341, and the second door panel 340 can be opened. Conversely, when the second latch 720 is in the second locked position, the second latch 720 is engaged with the second lock groove 341, and the second door panel 340 cannot be opened.
[0113] like Figure 21 The double-door linkage assembly further includes a lock cylinder assembly 730 and an elastic reset member 740. The lock cylinder assembly 730 includes a lock cylinder body 731 and a rotating shaft 732 coaxially fixedly connected to the lock cylinder body 731. A first latch 710 is fixed to the rotating shaft 732, and the elastic reset member 740 drives a second latch 720 from a second open position to a second locked position. (Reference) Figure 22 When the lock cylinder body 731 rotates in the first direction under the drive of the key 701, the lock cylinder body 731 drives the first latch 710 from the first locked position to the first open position via the rotating shaft 732, thereby pushing the second latch 720 from the second locked position to the second open position; at this time, the first lock groove 291 disengages from the first latch 710, and the second lock groove 341 disengages from the second latch 720. (Reference) Figure 23 When the lock cylinder body 731 rotates in the second direction under the drive of the key 701, the lock cylinder body 731 drives the first latch 710 to move from the first open position to the first locked position via the rotating shaft 732, and the second latch 720 moves from the second open position to the second locked position under the action of the elastic reset member 740. At this time, the first lock groove 291 engages with the first latch 710, and the second lock groove 341 engages with the second latch 720. In this application, the operator only needs to insert one key into the lock cylinder body 731, and can simultaneously control the opening and closing of the first door panel 290 and the second door panel 340 by rotating the key 701. This improvement greatly saves operation time, reduces the confusion caused by the operator frequently searching for and using different keys when busy, makes the operation process simpler and more efficient, and significantly improves work efficiency.
[0114] The lock cylinder assembly 730 also includes a lock housing 733, which is sleeved on the outside of the lock cylinder body 731 and the first latch 710. The lock housing 733 has an clearance hole 734 corresponding to the position of the first latch 710. (See reference...) Figure 22 When the first hook 710 is in the first locking position, the first hook 710 at least partially protrudes through the clearance hole 734 and engages with the first locking groove 291.
[0115] like Figure 24 As shown, the double-door linkage assembly also includes a column 750 and a mounting base 760 fixed on the column 750. A first hook 710 is located on one side of the column 750, and a second hook 720 is located on the other side of the column 750 and is movably mounted on the mounting base 760. The column 750 and the mounting base 760 provide stable support for the second hook 720, ensuring the stability of the double-door linkage assembly structure.
[0116] like Figure 21 As shown, the double-door linkage assembly also includes a first protrusion 770 that is movably inserted into the column 750. One end of the first protrusion 770 is fixedly connected to the second hook 720. When the first hook 710 is in the first open position, the other end of the first protrusion 770 abuts against the first hook 710. When the staff needs to open both doors, they only need to quickly rotate the key 701. The first protrusion 770 quickly drives the second hook 720 to move and disengage from the second lock groove 341, thereby realizing the synchronous and rapid opening of both doors.
[0117] A first retaining ring 771 is abutted on the outer peripheral surface of the first protrusion 770. When the first latch 710 is in the first locking position, the first retaining ring 771 abuts against the column 750. The design of the first retaining ring 771 effectively prevents excessive displacement of the first protrusion 770, ensuring the stability and safety of the double-door linkage assembly.
[0118] The column 750 has a first guide hole 751 through which the first protrusion 770 passes, and the first protrusion 770 can reciprocate along the axial direction of the first guide hole 751. The first guide hole 751 can ensure the precise movement of the first protrusion 770, so that the second hook 720 and the second lock groove 341 always maintain precise engagement during frequent use of the double door.
[0119] The double-door linkage assembly also includes a connecting rod 780 and a second protrusion 790 movably inserted into the column 750. The connecting rod 780 is movably inserted into the fixed base 760, with one end fixedly connected to the second protrusion 790 and the other end fixedly connected to the second hook 720. One end of the elastic reset member 740 abuts against the second protrusion 790, and the other end abuts against the fixed base 760. During the process of the first hook 710 rotating to the first open position, the first hook 710 pushes the first protrusion 770 to move horizontally, and the first protrusion 770 then drives the second hook 720 to move synchronously. The second hook 720 then drives the second protrusion 790 to move synchronously through the connecting rod 780. At this time, the elastic reset member 740 gradually enters a compressed state, storing elastic potential energy. When the first latch 710 is in the first locked position, the elastic reset member 740 releases elastic potential energy, pushing the second protrusion 790 and the second latch 720 to reset. At this time, the second latch 720 is precisely engaged with the second locking groove 341 again, that is, the second latch 720 moves from the second open position to the second locked position.
[0120] refer to Figure 24 To prevent the elastic reset element 740 from falling off, the elastic reset element 740 is sleeved on the connecting rod 780. The elastic reset element 740 can be a spring or other elastic element.
[0121] A second retaining ring 791 is abutted on the outer peripheral surface of the second protrusion 790. When the first latch 710 is in the first locking position, the second retaining ring 791 abuts against the column 750. The design of the second retaining ring 791 effectively prevents excessive displacement of the second protrusion 790, ensuring the stability and safety of the linkage component.
[0122] The column 750 has a second guide hole 752 through which the second protrusion 790 passes, and the second protrusion 790 can reciprocate along the axial direction of the second guide hole 752. The second guide hole 752 ensures the precise movement of the second protrusion 790, further reducing operational errors caused by mechanical errors. At the same time, in conjunction with the synergistic effect of the first guide hole 751 and the first protrusion 770, it ensures that the second hook 720 and the second locking groove 341 always maintain precise engagement during the opening and closing of the double doors, effectively improving the overall operating efficiency of the equipment and the user experience, and reducing the frequency of maintenance.
[0123] The beverage device can be a multi-functional beverage device integrating a coffee machine, a refrigerator, and a powder dispenser. In this case, the first door panel 290 and the second door panel 340 refer to the coffee door and the powder refrigerator door, respectively. Alternatively, the beverage device can be a multi-functional coffee machine that only includes a coffee machine and a refrigerator. In this case, the first door panel 290 and the second door panel 340 refer to the coffee door and the refrigerator door, respectively.
[0124] In addition, such as Figure 25As shown, the beverage equipment also includes a socket 800, a first main control board 810, a second main control board 820, and an expansion board 840. The socket 800 is used to connect to an external 220V AC power supply for the entire beverage equipment. The first main control board 810 controls the operation of the coffee machine 200, and the second main control board 820 controls the operation of the mini-fridge 300. The expansion board 840 mainly houses the powder dispenser 400 (including a powder feeding motor 430, a stirring motor 442, and a dehumidifier 460), a clamping valve (used to clamp the milk tubing during cleaning to prevent cleaning solution from flowing back into the milk tank), and related power supplies for the mini-fridge 300 and the powder dispenser 400. Components (such as refrigerator level sensor, refrigerator door reed switch detection - to detect whether the refrigerator door is closed, powder box reed switch detection - to detect whether the powder box is in place, powder box spotlight for powder shortage detection). In this embodiment, the first main control board 810 is located on the side of the coffee machine 200 away from the small refrigerator 300, and the second main control board 820 is integrated with the expansion board 840 and located on the side of the small refrigerator 300 away from the coffee machine 200. This design can shorten the power lines and signal lines of the powder dispenser 400, the clamp valve, and the related detection electrical components of the small refrigerator and powder dispenser, avoiding the extra wiring caused by directly connecting them to the main control board and reducing the wiring inside the equipment.
[0125] The first main control board 810 and the second main control board 820 are connected in parallel to each other to independently control the start and stop of the coffee machine 200 or the mini-fridge 300. Specifically, a first switch 850 for independently controlling the start and stop of the coffee machine 200 is provided between the first main control board 810 and the socket 800, and a second switch 860 for independently controlling the start and stop of the mini-fridge 300 is provided between the second main control board 820 and the socket 800.
[0126] In addition, the beverage equipment also includes a switching power supply 830. The input terminal of the switching power supply 830 is electrically connected to the first main control board 810, and the output terminal is electrically connected to the expansion board 840. By designing the power source of the expansion board 840 to come from the first main control board 810 of the beverage equipment, the problem of not being able to make powder when the refrigerator is not turned on is avoided. In this embodiment, the input voltage of the switching power supply 830 is 220V, and the output voltage is 24V.
[0127] In addition, to save on power or signal cable routing, the first main control board 810, the second main control board 820, and the expansion board 840 are all equipped with 5V and / or 24V low-voltage power supplies.
