It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the relevant utility model, rather than to limit the utility model. It is also necessary to explain that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0030] In the process of preparing beverages, the beverage preparation device needs to distribute multiple liquid materials into beverage cups for preparation. In order to make the beverage preparation device structure more compact and simple, the multiple liquid materials are usually introduced to the main discharge port of the beverage preparation device through multiple delivery pipes. This structure makes the multiple delivery pipes at the main discharge port crowded together. When the delivery pipe fails or ages and needs to be replaced, it is challenging to repair because several pipes are stacked in disorder.

[0031] In order to solve the above problems, the beverage dispensing device of the utility model improves the discharging module, making it easier to maintain, thereby shortening the downtime. The beverage dispensing device of the utility model includes a main discharging port, the main discharging port includes a plurality of branch discharging ports arranged adjacent to each other, each of the plurality of branch discharging ports is connected to a feeding pipe, each feeding pipe includes a hard pipe portion, the hard pipe portion includes a branch discharging port lead-out portion and an extension portion, and the extension portion is arranged in a plurality of rows in the height direction and the length of each row increases from top to bottom.

[0032] Directional terms used in the specification, such as "height direction", "from top to bottom", etc., are only for illustration, and the description of a specific figure does not limit the present invention to be used only in the orientation. The present invention can work in any appropriate orientation suitable for the principle of the present invention.

[0033] The beverage preparation device of the present utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Figure 1 It is a schematic perspective view of a part of the beverage preparation device of the present invention, in which a part is cut away to show a part of the outlet module.

[0035] exist Figure 1 In the present invention, the beverage dispensing device is generally indicated by 1, which includes a main discharge port 2, and the main discharge port 2 includes a plurality of sub-discharge ports 3 arranged adjacent to each other (see Figure 6 and Figure 7 ). Each feed pipe includes a hard pipe part and a soft pipe part (not shown). The hard pipe part includes a branch outlet lead-out part 4 and an extension part 5. One end of the soft pipe part is connected to the extension part of the hard pipe part, and the other end is connected to the material box, so as to transport the liquid to the main outlet 2 for distribution.

[0036] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The enlarged view of the circled part in Figure 2 As shown, in the present invention, the extension parts 5 of the hard pipe part are arranged in multiple rows in the height direction, and the length of each row increases from top to bottom. That is to say, the extension parts 4 of the hard pipe part are arranged in multiple rows in the vertical direction, and the extension parts in the top row are the shortest, and the extension parts in the bottom row are the longest. Through such an orderly arrangement, when a certain hard pipe part fails, the maintenance personnel can easily find the faulty material conveying pipe and repair it.

[0037] Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A front view of a portion of a beverage preparation device, Figure 4 yes Figure 1 a side view of a portion of a beverage dispensing device, Figure 5 is along Figure 4 A cross-sectional view taken at AA in FIG. Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the extension portion 5 of the hard pipe portion can be arranged to open outwardly at an angle from the outlet lead-out portion 4 to provide sufficient operating space. The outlet lead-out portion 4 opens outwardly at an angle to provide a larger maintenance space for maintenance personnel, for example, they can put their hands into it, which is more convenient for repairing a faulty pipe. The opening angle can be set according to the size of the installation space. In theory, the larger the opening angle, the larger the operating space, which is more conducive to maintenance.

[0038] Figure 6 yes Figure 1 a perspective view of a portion of a beverage preparation device viewed from the bottom, Figure 7 yes Figure 6 A magnified view of the circled part in Figure 8 yes Figure 1 A bottom view of a portion of a beverage dispensing device of FIG. 1 from the bottom, showing the main discharge port. Figures 6 to 8 As shown, multiple sub-discharge ports 3 can be arranged in a row and closely adjacent to each other to form a total discharge port 2 that is the same shape as the mouth of the beverage cup and slightly smaller. In this embodiment, the total discharge port 2 is a circular profile, and only the discharge ports of various liquid materials are shown in the figure, while the discharge ports of liquid materials such as syrup are not shown.

[0039] Each row of extensions corresponds to the corresponding row of discharging ports. In a preferred embodiment, the extensions of multiple rows are arranged in parallel with a certain interval. The size of the intervals between the extensions of multiple rows is determined according to the installation space, and a larger interval is selected as much as possible to provide a larger operating space. In a preferred embodiment, the lengths of the extensions in each row are the same. Such an arrangement is also advantageous because it is convenient to provide a length increase from top to bottom in the height direction, thereby providing maintenance convenience.

[0040] Further Figure 7 As shown, the lead-out portion 4 of the dispensing port is fully welded 7 to the corresponding dispensing port 3. By such an arrangement, the gap between the lead-out portion 4 of the dispensing port and the corresponding dispensing port 3 can be completely eliminated, thereby preventing the liquid splashed from the beverage cup from entering between the two.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, see Figure 2 , the outlet lead-out portion 4 is a vertical pipe, which is connected to the extension portion 5 through the upward protrusion 6, and the extension portion 5 forms an acute angle with the vertical downward direction. In other words, the extension portion 5 is inclined downward relative to the horizontal direction, and the upward protrusion 6 can be an arc-shaped curved pipe. When the liquid is stopped from being distributed, the upward protrusion 6 can form a blocking portion, and the liquid in the extension portion 5 flows back to the material box due to the combined effect of the blocking effect of the upward protrusion and gravity, and will not continue to flow to the vertical pipe, thereby reducing the dripping phenomenon.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the main discharge port 2 includes a partition, and the sub-discharge ports 3 are multiple openings arranged on the partition. The provision of the partition can set the main discharge port 2 into a detachable structure, thereby providing convenience for maintenance.

[0043] As described above, the beverage dispensing device provided by the utility model has made favorable improvements to the discharging assembly, which provides great convenience for maintenance personnel to repair faulty components, thereby greatly shortening the downtime. It also effectively ensures the sealing of the discharging port and effectively prevents the dripping phenomenon after the dispensing of the liquid is stopped.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and an explanation of the technical principles used. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in the present application is not limited to the technical solution formed by a specific combination of the above technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the concept of the utility model. For example, the above features are replaced with the technical features with similar functions disclosed in the present application (but not limited to) by each other to form a technical solution.
