[0030] An embodiment of the present application provides a beverage output device 100. The beverage output device 100 includes a carrier frame 110, a movable member 140, and a first sleeve group 120. The carrier frame 110 is provided with a moving track 117 extending along a preset direction X. The moving track 117 has a first end 101 close to the container 20 and a second end 102 away from the container 20 in the preset direction X. The movable member 140 is movably arranged on the moving track 117 along the preset direction X. The first sleeve group 120 includes at least two first sleeves 121 arranged in a hierarchical manner. The innermost first sleeve 121 or the outermost first sleeve 121 is relatively fixed to the carrier frame 110, and the remaining first sleeves 121 can be relatively moved in a direction close to or away from the container 20 to achieve telescoping. The first sleeve 121 is fixedly arranged as the first fixed sleeve 122, and the first sleeve 121 in the first sleeve group 120 farthest from the first fixed sleeve 122 is the first movable sleeve 123, which is relatively fixed to the movable member 140. The first movable sleeve 123 is formed with a beverage outlet 130 for discharging beverages to the container 20.

[0031] As can be seen from the above structure, the movable member 140 moves on the moving track 117, which can drive the first movable sleeve 123 to move along the preset direction X, thereby driving the first sleeve group 120 to move relatively in the direction close to or away from the container 20 to achieve telescopic movement. When the movable member 140 moves to the first end 101 of the moving track 117, the first sleeve group 120 is in an extended state; when the movable member 140 moves to the second end 102 of the moving track 117, the first sleeve group 120 is in a contracted state. The first sleeve group 120 moves relatively in the direction close to or away from the container 20 to achieve telescopic movement, which can drive the beverage outlet 130 to move close to or away from the container 20. When the user is taking a beverage, at this time, the first sleeve group 120 extends in the direction close to the container 20, which can shorten the distance between the beverage outlet 130 and the container 20, and thus when the beverage is input into the container 20, it is not easy to splash or overflow. After the user finishes taking the drink, the first sleeve group 120 can be retracted in the direction away from the container 20, so that the distance between the drink outlet 130 and the container 20 is increased, and the drink outlet 130 is reset. When the user takes out the container 20, the hand will not touch the drink outlet 130, thereby improving the user's operating experience.

[0032] Please continue reading Figure 4 , Figure 4 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a beverage dispensing device of the present application. The motion track 117 is provided with a sliding groove 1171 extending in a predetermined direction. The movable member 140 includes a sliding block 142 for slidingly setting in the sliding groove 1171. By slidingly setting the sliding block 142 in the sliding groove 1171, a sliding limit function of the sliding block 142 can be achieved, so that the sliding block 142 can stably reciprocate along the preset direction X.

[0033] Normally, when the sliding block 142 slides in the sliding groove 1171, the outer surface of the sliding block 142 facing the inner surface of each side of the sliding groove 1171 is in full contact with the inner surface of each side of the sliding groove 1171. The outer surface of the sliding block 142 facing the inner surface of each side of the sliding groove 1171 is the sliding surface 1421, and the contact area between the sliding block 142 and the sliding groove 1171 is the area of ​​the sliding surface 1421 of the sliding block 142. The areas of the inner surface of the sliding groove 1171 and the sliding surface 1421 of the sliding block 142 are both large, and their flatness and smoothness are difficult to ensure, so the friction resistance of the sliding block 142 sliding in the sliding groove 1171 is large. In the embodiment of the present application, when the sliding block 142 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 1171, the contact area between the sliding block 142 and the sliding groove 1171 is smaller than the area of ​​the sliding surface 1421.

[0034] Under the same process conditions, by reducing the contact area between the sliding block 142 and the sliding groove 1171, the possibility of the contact surface between the sliding block 142 and the sliding groove 1171 being rough due to normal manufacturing errors can be reduced, and the surface flatness and smoothness of the relatively small contact surface can be more easily ensured, and the friction resistance when the sliding block 142 slides in the sliding groove 1171 can be reduced, thereby improving the smoothness of the movement of the movable member 140 on the moving track 117. In addition, since only the flatness and smoothness of the contact area between the sliding block 142 and the sliding groove 1171 need to be ensured, the production process requirements are relatively reduced, and the production efficiency and product qualification rate can be improved.

[0035] It should be noted that reducing the contact area between the sliding block 142 and the sliding groove 1171 is required to ensure the normal sliding of the sliding block 142 in the sliding groove 1171 and ensure that the sliding groove 1171 limits the movement of the sliding block 142 .

[0036] There may be two moving tracks 117 disposed opposite to each other, and the two moving tracks 117 are provided with two oppositely disposed sliding grooves 1171. The movable member 140 includes two sliding blocks 142 slidably disposed in the two sliding grooves 1171, respectively, and the two sliding blocks 142 may be connected via a connecting block.

[0037] In some embodiments, the sliding surface 1421 is in an arc shape in a cross section perpendicular to the preset direction X. The sliding block 142 is in line contact with the sliding groove 1171. Since the sliding surface 1421 is set to be an arc shape, the sliding surface 1421 is in line contact with the inner surfaces of each side of the sliding groove 1171, and the contact area between the sliding block 142 and the sliding groove 1171 is reduced. It is only necessary to ensure the flatness and smoothness of the area where the sliding block 142 is used to contact the sliding groove 1171 during the production process to ensure the smoothness of the sliding block 142 in the sliding groove 1171, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the movement of the movable member 140 on the motion track 117.

[0038] Please continue reading Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is a partial cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the beverage dispensing device of the present application, which is used to demonstrate the cooperation between the sliding block and the sliding groove. In some other embodiments, at least one first ridge 1422 extending along the preset direction X is formed on the outer surface of the sliding block 142. The sliding block 142 contacts the sliding groove 1171 through the first ridge 1422. Since the first ridge 1422 is formed on the surface of the sliding block 142, the sliding block 142 contacts the sliding groove 1171 through the first ridge 1422, and the contact area between the sliding block 142 and the sliding groove 1171 is reduced. It is only necessary to ensure the flatness and smoothness of the area where the first ridge 1422 contacts the sliding groove 1171 during the production process to ensure the smoothness of the movement of the sliding block 142 in the sliding groove 1171, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the movement of the movable member 140 on the moving track 117.

[0039] Specifically, at least one first ridge 1422 may be provided on one side of the outer surface of the sliding block 142 facing the sliding groove 1171, or at least one first ridge 1422 may be provided on each of multiple sides of the outer surface of the sliding block 142 facing the sliding groove 1171. The number of first ridges 1422 may be one, two, three or more, which may be determined according to actual conditions.

[0040] Please continue reading Figure 6 , Figure 6 It is a partial cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the beverage dispensing device of the present application, which is used to demonstrate the cooperation between the sliding block and the sliding groove. In some other embodiments, the inner surface of the sliding groove 1171 is formed with at least one second ridge 1172 extending along the preset direction X. The sliding groove 1171 contacts the sliding block 142 through the second ridge 1172. Since the second ridge 1172 is formed on the inner surface of the sliding groove 1171, the sliding groove 1171 contacts the sliding block 142 through the second ridge 1172, and the contact area between the sliding block 142 and the sliding groove 1171 is reduced. It is only necessary to ensure the flatness and smoothness of the area where the second ridge 1172 contacts the sliding block 142 during the production process, so as to ensure the smoothness of the movement of the sliding block 142 in the sliding groove 1171, and then ensure the smoothness of the movement of the movable part 140 on the moving track 117.

[0041] Specifically, at least one second ridge 1172 may be provided on one inner surface of the sliding groove 1171, or at least one second ridge 1172 may be provided on each inner surface of multiple sides of the sliding groove 1171. The number of second ridges 1172 may be one, two, three or more, which may be determined according to actual conditions.

[0042] In some other embodiments, a plurality of balls (not shown in the figure) are embedded on the surface of the sliding block 142, and the sliding block 142 is movably arranged in the sliding groove 1171 through the balls. By embedding a plurality of balls on the surface of the sliding block 142, not only the contact area between the sliding block 142 and the sliding groove 1171 can be reduced, but also the sliding friction between the sliding block 142 and the sliding groove 1171 can be converted into rolling friction, thereby further reducing the friction resistance when the sliding block 142 slides in the sliding groove 1171, improving the smoothness of movement of the sliding block 142 in the sliding groove 1171, and thus ensuring the smoothness of movement of the movable member 140 on the moving track 117. Specifically, the balls can be embedded only on the surface of one side of the sliding block 142 facing the sliding groove 1171, or the balls can be embedded on all the side surfaces of the sliding block 142 facing the sliding groove 1171, and the number of embedded balls can be determined according to actual conditions. When the sliding block 142 slides in the sliding groove 1171 only through the ball bearings, the contact area between the sliding block 142 and the sliding groove 1171 may even be reduced to zero, that is, the sliding surface 1421 is not in direct contact with the sliding groove 1171 .

[0043] The above lists several ways to achieve that the contact area between the sliding block 142 and the sliding groove 1171 is smaller than the area of ​​the sliding surface 1421. In other embodiments, it can also be achieved by other ways, which are not limited here.

[0044] Please continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 7 , Figure 7 It is a schematic diagram of the back structure of an embodiment of the beverage dispensing device of the present application, wherein the first sleeve group is in a partially extended state.

[0045] In some embodiments, the movable member 140 includes a lifting rack 145. The lifting rack 145 is extended along a preset direction X and fixed relative to the sliding block 142. The lifting rack 145 is fixed relative to the sliding block 142, and the movement of the lifting rack 145 along the preset direction X can drive the sliding block 142 to move.

[0046] Furthermore, the beverage output device 100 further includes a gear 143 and a motor 144. The gear 143 meshes with the lifting rack 145, and the motor 144 drives the gear 143 to rotate, driving the lifting rack 145 to slide in a direction close to or away from the container 20, thereby driving the first sleeve group 120 to extend and retract.

[0047] In other embodiments, the beverage dispensing device 100 further includes a screw (not shown in the figure) and a motor (not shown in the figure). The screw is threadedly connected to the sliding block 142. The motor 144 drives the screw to rotate, driving the sliding block 142 to reciprocate along the first direction A approaching or moving away from the container 20, thereby driving the first sleeve group 120 to achieve extension and retraction.

[0048] In some embodiments, the carrier frame 110 has a front side 111 and a back side 112 that are arranged opposite to each other, and the front side 111 of the carrier frame 110 is used to face the user. The first sleeve group 120 is located on the front side 111. The motion track 117 is arranged on the back side 112 of the carrier frame 110. The movable member 140 is located on the back side 112. The carrier frame 110 is also provided with a slot 115 for the movable member 140 and the first movable sleeve 123 to be relatively connected and moved. The movable member 140 moves on the back side 112 of the carrier frame 110, and drives the first sleeve group 120 located on the front side 111 of the carrier frame 110 to extend and retract. The slot 115 allows the movable member 140 and the first movable sleeve 123 to be connected to each other and moved up and down, and the overall layout of the beverage output device 100 is reasonable and beautiful.

[0049] The beverage output device 100 further includes a delivery pipe 150 and a supply pipe 160. The delivery pipe 150 is located on the front side 111 of the carrier frame 110, which is convenient for outputting beverages. The output end of the delivery pipe 150 is relatively fixed to the first movable sleeve 123, and the output end of the delivery pipe 150 is connected to the beverage output port 130. The delivery pipe 150 is used to provide a channel for outputting beverages. The supply pipe 160 is located on the back side 112 of the carrier frame 110, that is, inside the beverage output device 100, and the supply pipe 160 is used to connect to the beverage source. One end of the supply pipe 160 is relatively fixed to the movable part 140, and is used to connect to the input end of the delivery pipe 150, and the other end of the supply pipe 160 is fixedly arranged on the back side 112 of the carrier frame 110. The supply pipe 160 can output the beverage located on the back side 112 of the carrier frame 110 to the delivery pipe 150 located on the front side of the carrier frame 110, and finally output through the beverage output port 130.

[0050] Since the supply tube 160 is located on the back side 112 of the carrier frame 110, the supply tube 160 is in an unconstrained free state. When the movable part 140 moves, the supply tube 160 may have excessive friction or excessive bending. The supply tube 160 may also affect the movement of the movable part 140. In the embodiment of the present application, since one end of the supply tube 160 is relatively fixed to the movable part 140, and the other end of the supply tube 160 is fixedly arranged on the back side 112 of the carrier frame 110, the positions of the two ends of the supply tube 160 are fixed, which can play a certain role in constraining the displacement and shape of the supply tube 160. At this time, since the positions of the two ends of the supply tube 160 are relatively fixed, the supply tube 160 can adapt to the movement of the movable part 140 through appropriate displacement and deformation, avoiding excessive friction or excessive bending of the supply tube 160, improving the operating stability of the movable part 140 and the service life of the supply tube 160, and ensuring the reliability of the beverage output device 100.

[0051] It should be noted that the slot 115 is also used for the delivery pipe 150 and the supply pipe 160 to be connected to each other and to move up and down with the movable member 140. Specifically, the delivery pipe 150 and the supply pipe 160 can be connected to each other. The delivery pipe 150 can pass through the carrier frame 110 to be connected to the supply pipe 160, or the supply pipe 160 can pass through the carrier frame 110 to be connected to the delivery pipe 150.

[0052] Of course, in other embodiments, the delivery pipe 150 and the supply pipe 160 can be integrally formed. In this case, the delivery pipe 150 and the supply pipe 160 are the same pipe.

[0053] In some embodiments, the supply pipe 160 includes a first pipe section 161, a second pipe section 162, and a third pipe section 163 connected in sequence. The first pipe section 161 is relatively fixed to the movable member 140 and is connected to the input end of the delivery pipe 150. The third pipe section 163 is fixedly disposed on the carrier frame 110. The second pipe section 162 takes the end connected to the first pipe section 161 as the starting point, and the second pipe section 162 first extends in a direction away from the end of the first pipe section 161, and then gradually bends to extend in a direction toward the third pipe section 163 and is connected to the third pipe section 163.

[0054] By setting the first pipe section 161 to be relatively fixed with the movable member 140, one end of the supply pipe 160 is relatively fixed with the movable member 140, and by fixing the third pipe section 163 on the back side 112 of the carrier frame 110, the other end of the supply pipe 160 is relatively fixed with the carrier frame 110. The second pipe section 162 connects the first pipe section 161 and the third pipe section 163 in a gradually curved form, and the second pipe section 162 has a reasonable trend to avoid excessive bending. Since the third pipe section 163 is fixed in position, when the movable member 140 drives the first sleeve group 120 to extend and retract, the first pipe section 161 moves with the movable member 140, and the supply pipe 160 can match the displacement of the first pipe section 161 caused by the extension and retraction of the first sleeve group 120 by changing the bending shape of the second pipe section 162, and the supply pipe 160 will not be excessively bent during the movement, thereby ensuring the reliability of the beverage output device 100.

[0055] Specifically, the first pipe section 161 and the third pipe section 163 may be straight lines, and the second pipe section 162 may be U-shaped. The beverage output path formed by the supply pipe 160 is reasonable, which is conducive to the smooth output of the beverage.

[0056] In some embodiments, a first fixing member 141 is provided on a side of the movable member 140 facing away from the carrier frame 110. The first fixing member 141 includes at least two first buckles 1411 spaced apart along the first direction A. The first pipe section 161 is snapped into the first buckle 1411. By providing at least two first buckles 1411 spaced apart along the first direction A, the first pipe section 161 can be fully fixed to the movable member 140. The first pipe section 161 is a straight pipe section extending along the first direction A. By providing the first buckle 1411 to fix the first pipe section 161, the installation and maintenance of the first pipe section 161 are convenient and quick.

[0057] In some embodiments, a second fixing member 113 is provided on the back side 112 of the carrier frame 110. The second fixing member 113 includes at least two second buckles 1131 spaced apart along the second direction B. The third pipe segment 163 is snapped into the second buckle 1131. By providing at least two second buckles 1131 spaced apart along the second direction B, the third pipe segment 163 can be fully fixed to the movable member 140. The third pipe segment 163 is a straight pipe segment extending along the second direction B. By providing the second buckle 1131 to fix the third pipe segment 163, the installation and maintenance of the third pipe segment 163 are convenient and quick.

[0058] The first direction A and the second direction B may be arranged parallel to each other, or the first direction A and the second direction B may be arranged to intersect each other, which may be specifically determined according to the relative position relationship between the actual beverage source and the delivery tube 150 .

[0059] In order to further prevent the supply pipe 160 from being worn and bent, in some embodiments, the beverage output device 100 includes a first protective sleeve 164. The first protective sleeve 164 is sleeved outside the second pipe section 162. Since only the second pipe section 162 in the supply pipe 160 adapts to the rise and fall of the first pipe section 161 by bending during the process of the movable member 140 driving the first sleeve group 120 to extend and retract, the first protective sleeve 164 is sleeved outside the second pipe section 162 to protect the second pipe section 162. On the one hand, the first protective sleeve 164 prevents the second pipe section 162 from excessively rubbing against other structures during the process of moving with the movable member 140; on the other hand, the first protective sleeve 164 can maintain a certain shape, prevent the second pipe section 162 from being excessively bent, thereby maintaining the shape of the second pipe section 162 and ensuring smooth output of the beverage. By providing the first protective sleeve 164, the supply pipe 160 can be protected, and wear or excessive bending can be reduced or prevented, thereby increasing the service life of the supply pipe 160.

[0060] The first protective sleeve 164 may be a spring or a braided tube, which may be sleeved outside the second pipe section 162 to protect the second pipe section 162 .

[0061] In other embodiments, the first protective sleeve 164 may be entirely sleeved outside the supply pipe 160, that is, sleeved outside the first pipe section 161, the second pipe section 162, and the third pipe section 163 of the supply pipe 160. The first protective sleeve 164 can protect the supply pipe 160 as a whole, and fully prevent the supply pipe 160 from being bent or worn.

[0062] Please continue reading Figure 8 , Figure 8 1 is a partial structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of a beverage output device of the present application. In some embodiments, the beverage output port 130 includes a first-category beverage ingredient output port 131 and a second-category beverage ingredient output port 132. The first-category beverage ingredient output port 131 is used to output the first-category beverage ingredients. The first-category beverage ingredient output port 131 is formed at the bottom of the first movable sleeve 123. A delivery channel 124 is formed in the first sleeve group 120, and the delivery channel 124 is connected to the first-category beverage ingredient output port 131. The bottom end of the first movable sleeve 123 extends outward and forms a second-category beverage ingredient output port 132, and the second-category beverage ingredient output port 132 is used to output the second-category beverage ingredients. The delivery pipe 150 is located outside the first sleeve group 120, and the output end of the delivery pipe 150 is connected to the second-category beverage ingredient output port 132.

[0063] The first sleeve group 120 can not only drive the delivery pipe 150 and the second-category beverage ingredient output port 132 to rise and fall, but also form a delivery channel 124 inside, and form a first-category beverage ingredient output port 131 at the bottom of the first movable sleeve 123, so that at least two types of beverage ingredients can be output; during the output of the first-category beverage ingredients, the first movable sleeve 123 extends to the end close to the container 20, and then the first-category beverage ingredient output port 131 can be close to the container 20, so that the first-category beverage ingredients will not splash or overflow when flowing into the container 20, thereby improving the user's operating experience.

[0064] In addition, the delivery tube 150 is arranged outside the first sleeve group 120, and the delivery channel 124 is formed inside the first sleeve group 120, so that the delivery channel 124 and the delivery tube 150 do not interfere with each other, so as to avoid the first type of beverage ingredients from hitting the delivery tube 150 when moving in the delivery channel 124, causing the delivery tube 150 to rupture, thereby avoiding affecting the output of the second type of beverage ingredients from the second type of beverage ingredient output port 132. The delivery tube 150 is arranged outside the first sleeve group 120, so that the delivery channel 124 and the delivery tube 150 are separated, thereby ensuring that the beverage output device 100 can ensure the smooth outflow of the first type of beverage ingredients and the second type of beverage ingredients.

[0065] Among them, the first category of beverage ingredients includes ingredients with fixed shapes, elastic ingredients, and ingredients with poor fluidity, such as ice cubes, crushed ice, red beans, mung beans, peanuts, pearls in pearl milk tea, coconut flakes, taro balls, milk jelly, jelly, tortoise jelly, fruit puree, taro puree, ice cream, puffed foods, baked goods, etc.; the second category of beverage ingredients includes ingredients with high fluidity, such as water, juice, milk, coffee, cola, soy milk, etc., which are not limited here.

[0066] It should be noted that the user can output the first category of beverage ingredients from the first category of beverage ingredient output port 131 according to their own needs; or the user can output the second category of beverage ingredients from the second category of beverage ingredient output port 132 according to their own needs; or the user can output the first category of beverage ingredients and the second category of beverage ingredients from the first category of beverage ingredient output port 131 and the second category of beverage ingredient output port 132 at the same time according to their own needs, which is not limited here. In addition, the beverage output device 100 can be a water dispenser, a beverage machine, or a first category of beverage ingredient box and other equipment, which is not limited here.

[0067] It should be noted that the outermost first sleeve 121 in the first sleeve group 120 may be the first fixed sleeve 122 , and the other first sleeves 121 may be relatively movable in a direction approaching or moving away from the container 20 to achieve extension and retraction.

[0068] Alternatively, the innermost first sleeve 121 in the first sleeve group 120 may be the first fixed sleeve 122, and the other first sleeves 121 may be relatively movable in the direction of approaching or moving away from the container 20 to achieve telescopic expansion. At this time, a conveying channel 124 is formed in the first sleeve group 120. The inner diameter of the conveying channel 124 gradually increases in the direction approaching the first-category beverage ingredient output port 131. When the user takes a drink, the first-category beverage ingredient moves in the conveying channel 124 and is output from the first-category beverage ingredient output port 131, and the inner diameter of the conveying channel 124 gradually increases in the direction approaching the first-category beverage ingredient output port 131. At this time, when the drink moves in the conveying channel 124, it is not easy to get stuck.

[0069] Please continue reading Fig. 9 , Fig. 9It is a front structural schematic diagram of another embodiment of the beverage output device of the present application. In some other embodiments, the beverage output device 100 also includes a second sleeve group 170. Among them, the second sleeve group 170 is sleeved on the outside of the first sleeve group 120. The second sleeve group 170 includes at least two second sleeves 171 that are sleeved in layers. The second sleeve 171 located at the outermost side or the second sleeve 171 located at the innermost side is relatively fixed to the supporting frame 110. The remaining second sleeves 171 are relatively movable in the direction of approaching or moving away from the container 20 to achieve telescopic movement. The delivery pipe 150 is located between the first sleeve group 120 and the second sleeve group 170, and extends from between the first movable sleeve 123 and the second movable sleeve 173 to the outside of the second movable sleeve 173 to communicate with the supply pipe 160. The second sleeve group 170 can play a certain shielding and protective role for the first sleeve group 120 and other structural parts such as the conveying pipe 150 located between the first sleeve group 120 and the second sleeve group 170, making the overall appearance more beautiful. At the same time, it can also extend the service life of the first sleeve group 120 and the conveying pipe 150 and other structural parts located between the first sleeve group 120 and the second sleeve group 170.

[0070] Specifically, the second sleeve 171 fixed relatively to the first fixed sleeve 122 is the second fixed sleeve 172, and the second sleeve 171 farthest from the second fixed sleeve 172 in the second sleeve group 170 is the second movable sleeve 173. The second movable sleeve 173 is fixed relatively to the first movable sleeve 123, and the bottom end of the first movable sleeve 123 can extend outward to connect to the second movable sleeve 173. When the user takes the first category of beverage ingredients and / or the second category of beverage ingredients, the second movable sleeve 173 remains relatively fixed to the first fixed sleeve 122 and moves toward the end close to the container 20. Since the first sleeve 121 and the second sleeve 171 are both arranged in layers, the other second sleeves 171 located between the second fixed sleeve 172 and the second movable sleeve 173, and the other first sleeves 121 located between the first fixed sleeve 122 and the first movable sleeve 123 will also move toward the end close to the container 20. At this time, the distance between the first sleeve group 120 and the second sleeve group 170 and the container 20 is reduced, and the first category beverage ingredient output port 131 and / or the second category beverage ingredient output port 132 are close to the container 20. Therefore, when the first category beverage ingredients and / or the second category beverage ingredients are output, the splashing or overflowing of the first category beverage ingredients and / or the second category beverage ingredients can be improved, and the user experience is better.

[0071] Since the second movable sleeve 173 is relatively fixed to the first movable sleeve 123, it is only necessary to drive the second movable sleeve 173 or the first movable sleeve 123 to move in order to drive both to move synchronously. The extension and retraction of the first sleeve group 120 and the second sleeve group 170 are more stable and synchronous, and the control is more convenient and quick.

[0072] Among them, the outermost second sleeve 171 in the second sleeve group 170 is relatively fixed to the first fixed sleeve 122; the innermost second sleeve 171 of the second sleeve group 170 is relatively fixed to the first movable sleeve 123; the remaining second sleeves 171 can be relatively moved in the direction of approaching or moving away from the container 20 to achieve extension and contraction. The second sleeve group 170 has a structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom.

[0073] Of course, in some other embodiments, the innermost second sleeve 171 in the second sleeve group 170 can be relatively fixed to the first fixed sleeve 122; the outermost second sleeve 171 of the second sleeve group 170 can be relatively fixed to the first movable sleeve 123; the remaining second sleeves 171 can be relatively movable in the direction of approaching or moving away from the container 20 to achieve extension and retraction. At this time, the second sleeve group 170 has a small upper and large lower structure.

[0074] It should be noted that the first sleeve group 120 may include two first sleeves 121, three first sleeves 121, four first sleeves 121, or more first sleeves 121. The second sleeve group 170 may include two second sleeves 171, three second sleeves 171, four second sleeves 171, or more second sleeves 171. The number of first sleeves 121 included in the first sleeve group 120 may be the same as or different from the number of second sleeves 171 included in the second sleeve group 170, as long as the first sleeve group 120 and the second sleeve group 170 have the same extendibility.

[0075] Since the second movable sleeve 173 is sleeved on the outside of the first movable sleeve 123, the first movable sleeve 123 can be fixed by the second movable sleeve 173 and the movable member 140. The second movable sleeve 173 can be driven to move by the movable member 140, thereby driving the relatively fixed first movable sleeve 123 to move. The first sleeve group 120 and the second sleeve group 170 can be extended and retracted, and the beverage outlet 130 can be raised and lowered.

[0076] In addition, the second movable sleeve 173 and the movable member 140 can be relatively fixed by means of a snap-fit ​​structure or fasteners such as bolts.

[0077] In some embodiments, the beverage output device 100 further includes a carrier 114. The carrier 114 is disposed at the bottom of the carrier frame 110. The carrier 114 is used to support the container 20. The container 20 is used to receive beverages. The beverage output port 130 is located above the carrier 114. When the user is taking the first category of beverage ingredients and / or the second category of beverage ingredients, the container 20 is placed on the carrier 114, and the first category of beverage ingredients and / or the second category of beverage ingredients are output through the beverage output port 130, so that the first category of beverage ingredients and / or the second category of beverage ingredients can be quickly output, and the user does not need to hold the container 20, and the entire process of taking the first category of beverage ingredients and / or the second category of beverage ingredients can be more labor-saving.
