It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other arbitrarily without conflict.

[0026] In one embodiment of the utility model, a beverage preparation device is provided, which can be a tea dispenser for making tea, or the beverage preparation device can also make other beverages besides tea.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the beverage preparation device may include a sugar barrel 110 and a body 500, wherein the body 500 includes a sugar barrel box 100 and a heating device 400; wherein the sugar barrel box 100 is used to place the sugar barrel 110; the heating device 400 is installed outside the sugar barrel box 100 and is configured to heat the sugar barrel 110 through the sugar barrel box 100.

[0028] In the beverage preparation equipment of the present embodiment, a heating device 400 is provided outside the sugar barrel box 100, and the heating device 400 heats the syrup in the sugar barrel 110 through the sugar barrel box 100, thereby realizing liquid and electrical isolation between the syrup in the liquid sugar barrel 110 and the heating device 400, so that when the syrup overflows from the sugar barrel 110 during the heating process, it will overflow into the sugar barrel box 100. On the one hand, it can prevent the syrup from overflowing onto the heating device 400, causing a short circuit in the heating device 400 and generating danger; on the other hand, it can also prevent the syrup with high viscosity and high temperature from overflowing onto other devices, causing damage to other devices or difficulty in cleaning.

[0029] The heating device 400 indirectly heats the sugar barrel 110 through the sugar barrel box 100 , which can prevent the temperature of the sugar barrel 110 from being too high and causing the syrup in the sugar barrel 110 to burn.

[0030] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the heating device 400 can be installed under the sugar barrel box 100 to indirectly heat the sugar barrel 110. It should be noted that the heating device 400 can be set at any position of the sugar barrel box 100 as long as the sugar barrel 110 can be heated. For example, the heating device 400 can also be installed around the sugar barrel box 100.

[0031] The heating device 400 of this embodiment can heat the sugar barrel 110 to prevent the liquid sugar in the sugar barrel 110 from agglomerating, thereby preventing problems such as pipeline blockage and extraction difficulty caused by agglomeration, and ensuring smooth extraction of the liquid sugar.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 3a , Figure 3b , Figure 3cAs shown, the heating device 400 may include: a heating plate 402 and a stopper 401. The heating plate 402 may be fixed below the sugar barrel box 100, and may include a heat conducting plate (not shown in the figure) and a heating element (not shown in the figure) fixed to the heat conducting plate 402, wherein the heat conducting plate may be set as a metal plate, such as an aluminum plate, etc.; the heating element may be set as an electric heating wire, an electric heating film, etc. The stopper 401 is electrically connected to the power supply circuit of the heating plate 402, and is configured to control the power on and off of the heating plate 402, so as to protect the key components in the circuit where the heating plate 402 or the heating plate 420 is located from being damaged by excessive voltage or current, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the circuit.

[0033] In an example of the present embodiment, one or more sugar barrels 110 are provided, and all are arranged in the sugar barrel box 100; the heating element can be set to one or more, and corresponds to the sugar barrel 110 one by one, and the heating element can heat the corresponding sugar barrel 110; the limiter 401 can be set to one or more, and the limiter 401 corresponds to the heating element one by one, and is configured to control the on and off of the corresponding heating element, so that all sugar barrels 110 can be used at the same time during peak traffic hours to heat all sugar barrels 110, and when the traffic is less, the sugar barrel 110 in use can be heated separately to save electricity and resources.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 3a , Figure 3b and Figure 3c As shown, the bottom wall of the sugar barrel box 100 may be provided with a drainage port 101, and the drainage port 101 may be provided below the sugar barrel box 100. In addition, the drainage port 101 is connected to a conduit (not shown in the figure), and one end of the conduit away from the drainage port 101 may lead to the outside of the beverage preparation device, for example, it may be connected to a pre-prepared trash can or trash pool, so that the syrup overflowing into the sugar barrel box 100 can be discharged to a designated location through the drainage port 101 and the conduit.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2 As shown, the beverage preparation device may further include a safety power-off device 300, which may be electrically connected to the heating device 400, such as being electrically connected between the heating device 400 and a power supply module (not shown in the figure), so as to cut off the power to the heating device 400 alone when a short circuit or other fault occurs in the heating device 400, thereby improving the safety performance of the device. The safety power-off device 300 may include an air switch (air circuit breaker), etc.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2As shown, the beverage preparation device may further include a mounting box 200, and the safety power-off device 300 may be mounted on the mounting box 200, and the mounting box 200 is mounted in the machine body 500. The mounting box 200 may be a box composed of welded plates.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 1 As shown, the body 500 of the beverage preparation device may include an installation chamber 504 and a refrigeration chamber 503 , and the installation chamber 504 and the refrigeration chamber 503 may be separated by a partition.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the beverage preparation device may include: a material barrel 120 and a peristaltic pump 203. The material barrel 120 may be placed in a refrigerating chamber 503 to store the materials required for preparing the beverage in the material barrel 120 at low temperatures to ensure the quality of the materials. The peristaltic pump 203 may be arranged in the refrigerating chamber 503 to prevent the peristaltic pump 203 from being overheated and affecting its normal operation. Exemplarily, the peristaltic pump 203 can be located above the barrel 120 to prevent the material in the barrel 120 from accidentally dripping onto the peristaltic pump 203 and affecting the normal operation of the peristaltic pump 203; and the body 500 may also include a discharge port 204, the peristaltic pump 203 is arranged between the barrel 120 and the discharge port 204, and the inlet of the peristaltic pump 203 is connected to the barrel 120 through a pipeline, and the outlet of the peristaltic pump 203 is connected to the discharge port 204 through a pipeline, so that the peristaltic pump 203 can extract liquid material from the barrel 120 and transport the liquid material to the discharge port 204, so that the liquid material is output from the discharge port 204.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the beverage preparation device may also include a refrigeration system to provide cold for the refrigeration chamber 503. The refrigeration system may include a compressor 601 and a condenser 602 arranged in the installation chamber 504. A fan 603 is also arranged in the installation chamber 504, and a vent 604 may also be arranged on the cavity wall of the installation chamber 504. The above-mentioned heating device 400 and the sugar barrel box 100 may also be placed in the installation chamber 504, and specifically may be placed above the fan 603 and the vent 604 of the installation chamber 504. Through the fan 603 and the vent 604, the hot air generated when the heating device 400, the compressor 601 and the condenser 602 are working can be discharged to the outside of the body 500 to avoid the temperature in the installation chamber 504 being too high, affecting the normal operation of the components in the installation chamber 504.

[0040] In this embodiment, the heating device 400, the compressor 601, the condenser 602, etc. are located in the installation chamber 504, and are isolated from the material barrel 120, the peristaltic pump 203, etc. located in the cold storage chamber 503, so as to achieve liquid and electrical isolation between the material in the material barrel 120 and the electrical components in the installation chamber 504, so that when the material in the material barrel 120 accidentally overflows (or the pipeline leaks), the overflowed material (leaked material) can be prevented from flowing to the heating device 400 or the compressor 601 and causing damage thereto.

[0041] In an example of this embodiment, the material contained in the barrel 120 is a liquid material, which may be a pure liquid material, or the liquid material may contain particles (such as fruit particles, etc.). Since the liquid material contained in the barrel 120 may contain particles, compared with using a gear pump to extract the liquid material, which may cause the particles in the liquid material to clog the gear pump and cause the gear pump to malfunction, the embodiment of the present application uses a peristaltic pump 203 to extract the liquid material, which can avoid the problem of pump body malfunction caused by particles clogging the pump body.

[0042] In an example of this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, there are multiple peristaltic pumps 203 and multiple barrels 120, and the inlets of the multiple peristaltic pumps 203 are connected to the multiple barrels 120 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the outlets of the multiple peristaltic pumps 203 are connected to the discharge port 204. Each barrel 120 can contain different liquid materials, and a variety of different liquid materials can be combined to prepare a variety of different beverages.

[0043] In an example of this embodiment, the cold storage room 503 of the beverage preparation device includes a cabinet door located at the front side, and the cabinet door can be a sliding door. Compared with a rotating door with a rotary switch, a sliding door requires a smaller operating space when performing an opening and closing operation, which can ensure that when the operating room space is small, the operator can more conveniently open the cabinet door to perform operations such as replacing materials.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2 As shown, the beverage preparation device can also include an insulation barrel 140 installed on the body 500. The insulation barrel 140 can be used to hold materials required for preparing beverages. In this way, the materials that need to be kept warm (such as ice cubes, etc.) can be placed in the insulation barrel 140, so that when the materials are needed, they can be directly taken out from the insulation barrel 140 for use, thereby improving the efficiency of beverage preparation.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2 As shown, the machine body 500 further includes an operating table 502 , and the discharge port 204 is located above the operating table 502 . The beverage cup can be placed on the operating table 502 and receive the beverage flowing out of the discharge port 204 .

[0046] The upper parts of the heat preservation barrel 140 and the sugar barrel 110 may protrude from the operation table 502, and the heat preservation barrel 140 and the sugar barrel 110 may be arranged on the left and the right. The refrigeration chamber 503 and the installation chamber 504 may be located below the operation table 502.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2 As shown, the beverage preparation device may include: a gear pump 201 and a flow meter 202, and the sugar barrel 110 may be used to hold liquid sugar (such as syrup, etc.). The gear pump 201 may be arranged between the sugar barrel 110 and the discharge port 204, and the inlet of the gear pump 201 is connected to the sugar barrel 110 through a pipeline, and the outlet of the gear pump 201 is connected to the discharge port 204 through a pipeline, so that the gear pump 201 can extract liquid sugar from the sugar barrel 110 and transport the liquid sugar to the discharge port 204, so that the liquid sugar is output from the discharge port 204; the flow meter 202 may be arranged in the pipeline between the outlet of the gear pump 201 and the discharge port 204, or may be arranged in the pipeline between the inlet of the gear pump 201 and the sugar barrel 110.

[0048] The gear pump 201 and the flow meter 202 may be installed in the installation box 200 .

[0049] The beverage preparation device of this embodiment can smoothly extract liquid sugar with high viscosity by replacing the traditional peristaltic pump with the gear pump 201, and is not prone to blockage during the extraction process. At the same time, a flow meter 202 is installed on the pipeline between the sugar barrel 110 and the discharge port 204. The flow meter 202 cooperates with the gear pump 201 to solve the problem that the amount of liquid sugar extracted is difficult to control due to the high viscosity of the liquid sugar, so that the amount of liquid sugar extracted is accurately controlled within the required range of the target beverage, thereby making the sugar content of the prepared beverage more accurate and the taste better.

[0050] It should be noted that the sugar barrel 110 can be used to hold any material, and is particularly suitable for holding materials with higher viscosity, for example, it can also be used to hold honey, fruit pulp with higher viscosity, etc.; the number of gear pumps 201 can be one or more, the number of gear pumps 201 and sugar barrels 110 can be equal, and the gear pumps 201 and sugar barrels 110 can correspond one to one, so that the gear pumps 201 can be used to extract liquid sugar in the corresponding sugar barrel 110.

[0051] The beverage preparation equipment of this embodiment is particularly suitable for the demand for high-viscosity materials during the beverage mixing process. It can not only ensure the smooth extraction of high-viscosity materials, but also control the amount of extracted materials, and ultimately accurately achieve the mixing of materials to ensure the taste of the prepared beverages.

[0053] In addition, the heating device 400 of the embodiment of the utility model is also electrically connected to the control module, and the control module can control the heating device 400 to heat the sugar barrel 110 after the beverage preparation device is turned on. The peristaltic pump 203 of the embodiment of the utility model is also electrically connected to the control module, and the control module can control the operation of the peristaltic pump 203 according to the information input by the information input module.

[0054] In the beverage preparation device, the display module 501 may include a display screen and may be used to display menu information, or the display module 501 and the information input module may be integrated together to form a touch screen, and the user may select the type of beverage to be prepared from the menu through the display module 501; or the information input module may include a code scanning module, and the code scanning module may include a code scanning gun, and the user may scan the QR code or bar code on the beverage cup through the code scanning gun to obtain the information of the beverage to be configured, and the information of the beverage to be configured may be displayed through the display module 501.
