[0025] A support portion 101 is provided at the inner wall of the lower end of the capsule cup body 10. The support portion in this embodiment is configured as an annular support surface. A lower sealing film 20 is provided on the support portion 101. A pressure plate 30 is provided on the upper side of the lower sealing film. The edge of the pressure plate 30 is provided with a plurality of elastic bracket assemblies 31 supported on the support portion 101, and a plurality of puncture needles 32 are provided on the lower side of the pressure plate; in a natural state, the pressure plate 30 is supported by the bracket assemblies 31 so that the puncture needles 32 are separated from the lower sealing film 20; in a compressed state, the bracket assembly 31 is deformed so that the pressure plate 30 is close to the lower sealing film, and the puncture needles 32 puncture the lower sealing film 20.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of notches 300 are provided at the edge of the pressure plate 30, and a bracket assembly 31 is arranged in the notch; the bracket assembly 31 includes a bracket body 310 and an elastic connecting portion 311 for connecting the bracket body and the bottom of the notch, and the elastic connecting portion 311 in this embodiment is configured as a sheet structure with a corrugated cross-section; when the upper side of the pressure plate 30 is under pressure, the elastic connecting portion 311 is deformed so that the pressure plate approaches and punctures the lower sealing membrane 20.

[0027] In order to further enable the puncture needle to stably puncture the lower sealing film, the puncture needle 32 includes at least one group of first needle bodies 320 uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction; each first needle body 320 is provided with a second needle body 321 distributed along the radial direction. The first needle body and the second needle body are vertically penetrated and distributed, and the overall strength is higher and not easy to deform, so that the lower sealing film can be stably punctured.

[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a guide member 40 is provided between the bottom of the capsule cup body 10 and the lower sealing film 20, a guide gap 41 is formed between the guide member 40 and the lower sealing film, and a plurality of guide holes 400 evenly distributed along the circumferential direction are provided at the edge of the guide member 40; the outlet 100 is arranged at the bottom center of the capsule body 10, and a plurality of convex strips 401 are radially distributed from the center to the outside at the bottom of the guide member 40, and a guide channel 402 is formed between adjacent convex strips, one end of the guide channel 402 is connected to the guide hole 400, and the other end of the guide channel is connected to the outlet 100.

When in use, the solvent cannula pierces the upper sealing film and injects the solvent into the upper cavity. After passing through the buffer, the solvent enters the lower cavity and mixes with the solute to form a drink. The upper side of the pressure plate is moved downward by pressure to Figure 7 In the state shown, the needle pierces the lower sealing film, and the beverage flows from the notch into the pierced lower sealing film, and then passes through the guide hole, the guide channel, and the outlet to be discharged. In this structure, the pressure plate can be steadily lowered when under pressure, so that the needle pierces the lower sealing film, and the beverage enters from the notch, first flows to the middle, then flows outward into the guide hole, and then gathers to the central outlet through the guide channel. The beverage flow path is long, and the solute and solvent in the beverage are mixed more evenly during the flow process.
