[0004] This patent has the following defects:

[0005] 1. Fructose is generally added during the preparation of milk tea. When fructose is transported through a silicone tube, it is easy to cool and solidify, thus affecting the transport efficiency of fructose. In addition, the amount of fructose added during the preparation of milk tea is relatively small, and it is difficult to determine the amount of fructose added by measuring the mass. Therefore, in the process of adding fructose, the amount of fructose added is mostly determined by calculating the working time of the peristaltic pump; however, the cooling and solidification of fructose will affect the transport amount of fructose per unit time, thereby affecting the normal transport of fructose, resulting in the inability to prepare milk tea normally.

[0006] 2. During the preparation process of milk tea, various ingredients of milk tea are transported through silicone tubes. After the preparation of milk tea is completed, some ingredients will remain in the pipes. If the milk tea machine stops working, the ingredients remaining in the pipes will easily deteriorate, thus affecting the normal preparation of milk tea after the milk tea machine is restarted.

The storage device 2 comprises a fructose storage barrel 21, and the fructose storage barrel 21 is connected to a heating component 22 for heating the raw materials in the fructose storage barrel 21.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the frame 1 in the present patent includes a base 14 and a cabinet 13 arranged on the base 14. The base 14 is square, and a table 141 is formed on the surface of the base 14. The storage device 2 includes a plurality of small material storage barrels 25 arranged on the table 141 of the base 14; in this embodiment, the small material storage barrels 25 are embedded in the table 141, and an opening is provided above the small material storage barrels 25. The small material storage barrels 25 are used to place small materials such as coconut pearls, so that users can directly add measuring spoons through the opening above the small material storage barrels 25; the base 14 is also provided with A plurality of raw material storage barrels 26 are provided, and the raw material storage barrels 26 can be used to place raw materials for preparing milk tea, such as fresh milk and other ingredients. A conveying device 4 is provided in the machine base 14, and the conveying device 4 includes a plurality of first conveying pipelines 421. The upper end of each raw material storage barrel 26 is connected to a first conveying pipeline 421, and a plurality of first conveying pipelines 421 are connected to the discharging device 3. A peristaltic pump 43 is provided outside the first conveying pipeline 421. The peristaltic pump 43 works in sequence to sequentially deliver the raw materials in each raw material storage barrel 26 to the container 33 in the discharging device 3 for preparing milk tea.

[0040] In this patent, the frame 1 is separated by a refrigeration chamber 11 and a heating chamber 12, and the fructose storage barrel 21 is provided in the heating chamber 12. Figure 1-4As shown, in this patent, the cabinet 13 in the machine is vertically placed above the machine base 14, and a plurality of insulation barrels 24 are provided on the top of the left side of the cabinet 13, which are also used to place raw materials. The conveying device 4 also includes a plurality of second conveying pipelines 422, which connect the insulation barrels 24 and the discharging device 3 through the plurality of second conveying pipelines 422. On the right side of the cabinet 13, there is an independent warehouse body, which is the heating warehouse 12, and the fructose storage barrel 21 is provided in the heating warehouse 12. The conveying device 4 also includes a third conveying pipeline 423, which connects the fructose storage barrel 21 and the discharging device 3 through the third conveying pipeline 423; and, in order to reduce the heat damage of fructose during transportation, this patent arranges the discharging device 3 at the front end of the heating warehouse 12, so that the length of the third conveying pipeline 423 between the fructose storage barrel 21 and the heating warehouse 12 does not exceed 50 cm; refer to Figure 4 In addition to the discharge seat 31, the discharge device 3 also includes a collecting pipe seat 32 arranged above the discharge seat 31, and one end of the first conveying pipeline 421, the second conveying pipeline 422 and the third conveying pipeline 423 are fixed on the collecting pipe seat 32, so that the outlet ends of the first conveying pipeline 421, the second conveying pipeline 422 and the third conveying pipeline 423 are opposite to the collecting pipe seat 32. At this time, the peristaltic pump 43 can work to deliver the raw materials for preparing milk tea from the outlet ends of the above-mentioned conveying pipelines into the container 33 located on the discharge seat 31 in sequence for preparing milk tea.

[0041] Specifically, the third delivery pipeline 423 is located at the bottom of the fructose storage barrel 21 of the heating chamber 12, and is connected to the manifold seat 32 through the third delivery pipeline 423. Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the fructose storage barrel 21 is provided with a nozzle 211 for connecting to the third delivery pipeline 423. Different from the raw material storage barrel 26, the fructose storage barrel 21 in this patent is connected to a heating component 22 for heating the raw materials in the fructose storage barrel 21. Figure 5 As shown, the heating component 22 includes a heating wire attached to the outer wall of the fructose storage barrel 21; in order to make the heating wire able to evenly heat the fructose located in the fructose storage barrel 21, the heating wire in this patent is coiled on the bottom of the fructose storage barrel 21 to form a plurality of "U" shapes, which can effectively increase the contact area between the heating wire and the fructose storage barrel 21, and a heat insulation layer 23 wrapped around the heating is also provided on the bottom of the fructose storage barrel 21, and the heat insulation layer 23 can be made of tin foil to isolate the heating wire and the fructose storage barrel 21 from the outside; in this embodiment, the heat insulation layer 23 can extend upward to the waist of the fructose storage barrel 21 to increase the isolation area, to enhance the isolation effect, and to enhance the heat preservation.

[0042] In summary, the present patent heats fructose by setting the heating component 22. Generally, the working temperature of the heating component 22 is about 60 degrees. After heat transfer loss, the fructose in the fructose storage barrel 21 can be heated to about 40 degrees to keep the fructose in a fluid state that is easy to transport, thereby effectively preventing it from solidifying and reducing the error amount of each fructose delivery, so as to facilitate better preparation of milk tea.

[0043] Furthermore, the conveying device 4 includes a gear pump 41 disposed on one side of the fructose storage barrel 21, and the gear pump 41 is connected to a Hall element. In this patent, the gear pump 41 can be a peristaltic pump 43, and the Hall element is fixed on the peristaltic pump 43, which can be used to detect the rotation amount of the gear pump 41. The user can calculate the actual fructose delivery amount based on the rotation amount to make the fructose delivery amount more accurate.

[0044] refer to Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the base 14 is provided with a refrigeration component, which is generally a cold air blower. The cold air blower generates cold air to cool the inner cavity of the base 14 to form the refrigerated warehouse 11; the small material storage barrel 25 embedded in the base 14 can be kept fresh by the temperature in the refrigerated warehouse 11 because its bottom is located in the refrigerated warehouse 11, and the raw material storage barrel 26 is directly located in the base 14 and can be kept fresh directly by the refrigeration component. At the same time, the first conveying pipeline 421 is also installed in the refrigerated warehouse 11, and the raw materials in the first conveying pipeline 421 are kept fresh synchronously by the refrigerated warehouse 11.

[0045] Specifically, the inner cavity of the cabinet 13 and the inner cavity of the base 14 are connected to form an "L"-shaped whole. When the refrigeration component in the base 14 is working, it will affect the inner cavity of the base 14 and the inner cavity of the cabinet 13 at the same time; at this time, the refrigerated warehouse 11 includes a first refrigeration part 111 and a second refrigeration part 112 respectively arranged in the base 14 and the cabinet 13, that is, the inner cavity of the base 14 and the inner cavity of the cabinet 13. Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the base 14 is provided with a mounting frame 142 for supporting part of the first conveying pipeline 421, and the first conveying pipeline 421 extends backward to the second refrigerating part 112, and a peristaltic pump 43 is installed in the second refrigerating part 112, and the raw materials in the first conveying pipeline 421 are driven to move by the peristaltic pump 43. The first conveying pipeline 421 in the second refrigerating part 112 extends toward the discharging device 3 located on the right side of the cabinet 13, and is connected to the manifold seat 32 of the discharging device 3. At this time, most of the first conveying pipeline 421 is located in the refrigerating warehouse 11, and the refrigerating warehouse 11 is used to keep the raw materials in the first conveying pipeline 421 fresh, and prevent the raw materials remaining in the first conveying pipeline 421 from deteriorating.

[0046] Similarly, if Figure 4 As shown, the second delivery pipeline 422 on the insulation barrel 24 passes through the small through hole of the cabinet 13 into the cabinet 13 and extends downward to be located in the second refrigeration section 112. At this point, most of the second delivery pipeline 422 is located in the second refrigeration section 112, accounting for about 70% to 80% of the total length of the second delivery pipeline 422. Similarly, the refrigeration warehouse 11 is used to preserve the raw materials in the second delivery pipeline 422 to prevent the raw materials remaining in the second delivery pipeline 422 from deteriorating; the user can set a door and window assembly 131 on the cabinet 13 to open the second refrigeration section 112, so as to facilitate the maintenance of various delivery pipelines and peristaltic pumps 43 in the second refrigeration section 112. In summary, the cabinet 13 structure in this patent synchronously realizes the preservation of raw materials in the insulation barrel 24 on the cabinet 13 and the raw material storage barrel 26 in the base 14.

[0047] Furthermore, a heat insulation board 1131 is provided in the second refrigeration unit 112, a mounting opening is provided in the heat insulation board 1131, and the peristaltic pump 43 includes a peristaltic motor 431 and a peristaltic head 432 driven by the peristaltic motor 431; the peristaltic pump 43 is installed in the mounting opening, the peristaltic motor 431 is located inside the partition board, and the peristaltic head 432 is located in the second refrigeration unit 112 outside the partition board. Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the insulation part 113 is composed of two insulation boards 1131, and some foaming materials can be arranged between the two insulation boards 1131 for insulation; the insulation part 113 is convenient for isolating the heat-generating peristaltic motor 431 from the peristaltic head 432 installed with the conveying pipeline, so as to prevent the high temperature generated by the operation of the peristaltic motor 431 from affecting the raw materials in the conveying pipeline.

[0048] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of this patent and are not intended to limit the protection scope of this patent. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of this patent should be covered within the protection scope of this patent.
