It is understandable that the above scheme can also be used to improve practicality.

[0021] In this embodiment, the base 101 is a rectangular body, the vertical plate 102 is arranged perpendicular to the base 101, and the beverage machine body 103 is the existing technology. Through the material receiving assembly, the problem of the prior art that although the splash guard blocks the splashing beverage, the beverage liquid will adhere to the splash guard, affecting the appearance, blurring the line of sight, and affecting the user's observation of the water receiving level is solved.

[0022] The supporting plate 104 is fixedly connected to the vertical plate 102 and is located on a side of the vertical plate 102 close to the beverage machine body 103. The guide block 105 is slidably connected to the vertical plate 102 and is located on a side of the vertical plate 102 close to the supporting plate 104. The protective cover 106 is fixedly connected to the guide block 105 and is located on a side of the guide block 105 close to the supporting plate 104. The cleaning strip 107 is mounted on the supporting plate 104 and contacts the protective cover 106. The driving member drives the protective cover 106 to rise and fall. The supporting plate 104 is located between the machine base 101 and the beverage machine body 103 and is used to place cups for receiving beverages. A sliding groove is vertically provided on the vertical plate 102. The guide block 105 is mounted on the vertical plate 102 through the sliding groove. The guide block 105 can slide vertically along the vertical plate 102. The protective cover 106 is U-shaped. The shape is made of transparent material, and the opening direction is toward the vertical plate 102. It cooperates with the vertical plate 102 to form an enclosed structure for blocking beverage splashing. The guide block 105 guides the movement of the protective cover 106. The cleaning strip 107 is composed of a frame, a water-absorbing cotton strip and a rubber scraper. The water-absorbing cotton strip is located on the upper and lower sides of the frame for absorbing water. The rubber scraper is arranged in the middle of the frame and can scrape the protective cover 106. The frame and the supporting plate 104 are detachably connected to facilitate later replacement. The driving component is used to drive the protective cover 106 to rise and fall. By setting the cleaning strip 107, the protective cover 106 can be cleaned while rising and falling, thereby solving the problem in the prior art that although the splash guard blocks the splashing beverage, the beverage liquid will adhere to the splash guard, affecting the appearance, blurring the line of sight, and affecting the user's observation of the water level.

[0023] Secondly, the connecting block 108 is fixedly connected to the protective cover 106 and is located on one side of the protective cover 106; the driving motor 109 is installed on the machine base 101 and is located on the side of the machine base 101 close to the connecting block 108; the screw 110 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 109 and is threadedly connected to the connecting block 108.

The driving motor 109 is fixed to the machine base 101 by bolts, and is used to drive the screw 110 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 110 drives the protective cover 106 to rise and fall.

[0024] At the same time, the support frame 111 is fixedly connected to the vertical plate 102 and is rotatably connected to the screw rod 110. There are two support frames 111, which are respectively located at both ends of the screw rod 110. A bearing is arranged in the support frame 111, and the screw rod 110 passes through the support frame 111 and is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the bearing.

[0025] In addition, the infrared sensor 112 is fixedly connected to the vertical plate 102 and is located on a side of the vertical plate 102 close to the supporting plate 104. The infrared sensor 112 is connected to the control unit of the beverage machine body 103. The infrared sensor 112 can detect whether a cup is placed on the supporting plate 104. When a cup is placed, the infrared sensor 112 feeds back a signal to the control unit, and the control unit controls the operation of the drive motor 109. Through the infrared sensor 112, the automatic rise of the protective plate can be achieved.

[0026] In this embodiment, when in use, the cup is placed on the carrier plate 104, and the drive motor 109 is activated by the signal fed back by the infrared sensor 112, so that the screw 110 drives the protective cover 106 to rise and cover the outside of the water receiving area to prevent beverage splashing. At this time, the user can press the button on the beverage machine body 103 to start receiving beverages, and the user can observe the water level through the protective cover 106. When the beverage is received at an appropriate position, the user releases the button on the beverage machine body 103, and the beverage stops flowing out. At the same time, the drive motor 109 reverses and drives the protective cover 106 to descend and reset. During the descent, the beverage liquid on the protective cover 106 will be processed by the cleaning bar 107, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the protective cover 106. By providing the cleaning bar 107, the protective cover 106 can be cleaned while being raised and lowered, thereby solving the problem in the prior art that although the splash guard blocks the splashed beverage, the beverage liquid will adhere to the splash guard, affecting the appearance, blurring the line of sight, and affecting the user's observation of the water receiving level.

[0027] The second embodiment of the present application is:

[0028] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 20 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the splash-proof structure of the beverage machine of the second embodiment of the utility model.
