Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, and specifically provides a beverage device. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve, drinks such as tea and coffee are becoming more and more popular among consumers, and beverage equipment that can make homemade drinks has gradually become an indispensable part of people's daily life.

[0003] Taking a tea drinking machine as an example, most existing tea drinking machines are equipped with a water tank for making tea. When the water tank is filled with water, in order to achieve automatic water filling, a water level detection component is usually set in the water tank. When the water level in the water tank reaches a high water level, the water inlet solenoid valve is closed to stop the water filling. When the water level in the water tank reaches a low water level, the water inlet solenoid valve is opened to fill the water tank with water.

[0004] However, the existing tea drinking machine only controls the opening and closing of the water inlet solenoid valve by means of a water level detection component, which poses a safety hazard. For example, when the water level detection component fails, the water inlet solenoid valve cannot be closed according to the detection result of the water level detection component, resulting in water overflow, affecting the user experience.

[0015] In a preferred technical solution of the above beverage equipment, a water filling port is provided on the water tank so that water can be added to the water tank through the water filling port.

[0016] In the case of adopting the above-mentioned preferred technical scheme, by arranging the water level detection component to be communicated with the water inlet component, the water inlet component can be closed when the water level detection component detects that the water level in the water tank reaches a high water level, thereby stopping the water from entering the water tank; by arranging a sensing element and making the sensing element communicate with the water inlet component, when the water level detection component fails or the communication connection between the water level detection component and the water inlet component fails, the sensing element can detect the sensing signal according to the floating position of the mechanical float, and transmit the detected sensing signal to the water inlet component to close the water inlet component, thereby avoiding water tank overflow, ensuring the safety of water inletting into the water tank, and greatly improving the user experience.

[0020] Furthermore, compared with the form of connecting the water tank and the brewing chamber through a pipe, by providing a water outlet component and allowing the water in the water tank to flow into the tea brewing chamber through a water outlet nozzle to supply water to the tea brewing chamber, it is possible to avoid connecting the water tank and the brewing component with a pipe, and it is also convenient to use the brewing pot alone, making the structure of the beverage equipment simpler and further improving the user experience.

[0021] Furthermore, compared with arranging the water in the water tank to flow into the water outlet component through gravity, arranging the water in the water tank to be pumped to the water outlet component through a water pump can eliminate the need to consider the setting positions of the water tank and the brewing component, thereby facilitating the personalized design of various components of the beverage equipment.

[0033] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0034] It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer" and the like indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, which are only for the convenience of description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0035] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "setting" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0036] In order to realize automatic water inlet, the existing beverage equipment mentioned in the background technology only arranges a water level detection component in the water tank, and communicates with the water inlet solenoid valve so as to adjust the opening and closing of the water inlet solenoid valve according to the water level height in the water tank. When the water level detection component fails, the water inlet solenoid valve cannot be closed in time, resulting in water overflow, which affects the user experience.

[0037] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 7 , Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the water channel connection structure of the beverage equipment of the utility model.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the beverage device of the present invention comprises a water inlet assembly, a water tank 2 and a brewing assembly 3 , wherein the water inlet assembly is used to supply water to the water tank 2 , the brewing assembly 3 has a brewing cavity 310 , and the water tank 2 is used to supply water to the brewing cavity 310 .

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a water level detection component 25 and a mechanical float 21 are provided in the water tank 2. The water level detection component 25 is used to detect the water level in the water tank 2 and is communicatively connected with the water inlet assembly. The mechanical float 21 is hinged in the water tank 2 and can float as the water level in the water tank 2 changes.

[0040] like Figure 1As shown, the beverage device of the present invention further includes a sensing element 4, which is configured to detect a sensing signal when the mechanical float 21 floats to a set position, and the sensing element 4 is communicatively connected to the water inlet component (such as Figure 7 shown).

[0041] By setting the water level detection component 25 to be communicatively connected with the water inlet component, the water inlet component can be closed when the water level detection component 25 detects that the water level in the water tank 2 reaches a high water level, thereby stopping the water from entering the water tank 2. By setting the sensing element 4 and making the sensing element 4 communicatively connected with the water inlet component, when the water level detection component 25 fails or the communication connection between the water level detection component 25 and the water inlet component fails, the sensing element 4 can detect the sensing signal according to the floating position of the mechanical float 21, and transmit the detected sensing signal to the water inlet component to close the water inlet component, thereby avoiding overflow of the water tank 2, ensuring the safety of water inletting into the water tank 2, and greatly improving the user experience.

[0042] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art may configure the water inlet component to be a water inlet pipe 11 and a water inlet solenoid valve 12 disposed on the water inlet pipe 11, or, may configure the water inlet component to be a water inlet pipe 11 and a water inlet pump 5 connected to the water inlet pipe 11, or, may configure the water inlet component to be any other possible form, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific setting types of the water inlet component do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present utility model, and should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0043] Preferably, the water inlet assembly includes a water inlet pipe 11 and a water inlet solenoid valve 12 disposed on the water inlet pipe 11 , and the sensing element 4 and the water level detection component 25 are both communicatively connected to the water inlet solenoid valve 12 .

[0044] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art may configure the water inlet pipe 11 to be connected to a tap water pipe, or, alternatively, may configure the water inlet pipe 11 to be connected to a water outlet of a filter assembly, and so on. Such adjustments and changes to the specific water supply method of the water tank 2 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present utility model, and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0045] Preferably, one end of the water inlet pipe 11 is connected to the tap water pipe, and the other end of the water inlet pipe 11 is connected to the water tank 2 .

[0046] It should be noted that the technical personnel in this field do not impose any restrictions on the specific setting type of the water level detection component 25, as long as it can detect the water level height in the water tank 2, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific setting type of the water level detection component 25 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present utility model, and should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, the water level detection component 25 of the present invention is a water level detection probe, and the water level in the water tank 2 is detected by the water level detection probe.

[0048] In another specific embodiment, the water level detection component 25 of the present invention is a float type liquid level gauge, which detects the water level in the water tank 2 by the floating position of the float in the water tank 2 .

[0049] Preferably, the water level detection member 25 is a float type liquid level gauge.

[0050] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the sensing element 4. As long as the sensing signal can be detected when the mechanical float 21 floats to a high water level, etc., such adjustments and changes to the specific setting type of the sensing element 4 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention and should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0051] Combine the following Figures 4 to 6 To introduce the specific embodiments of the present utility model.

[0052] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the water tank, the sensing element and the water inlet assembly of the first embodiment of the utility model. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the water tank, the sensing element and the water inlet assembly in the second embodiment of the utility model. Figure 6 It is a structural schematic diagram of the water tank, the sensing element and the water inlet assembly in the third embodiment of the present utility model.

[0053] Embodiment 1:

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the sensing element 4 is a pressure sensing switch 41 arranged on the water inlet pipe 11, and the pressure sensing switch 41 is used to detect the water pressure in the water inlet pipe 11. The beverage equipment also includes a fixed seat 22, a connecting rod 24 and a sealing member 23, wherein the mechanical float 21 is hinged on the fixed seat 22 through the connecting rod 24, and the fixed seat 22 is provided with a water inlet 201 connected to the water inlet pipe 11. The sealing member 23 is arranged at an end of the connecting rod 24 away from the mechanical float 21. When the mechanical float 21 floats to a high water level, the water inlet 201 can be blocked so that the pressure sensing switch 41 can detect the water pressure signal in the water inlet pipe 11.

[0055] In the event that the water level detection component 25 fails or the connection between the water level detection component 25 and the water inlet solenoid valve 12 fails, when the mechanical float 21 floats to the high water level position in the water tank 2, the sealing member 23 can seal the water inlet 201. At this time, the water in the water inlet pipe 11 cannot enter the water tank 2, and the water pressure in the water inlet pipe 11 rises. The pressure sensing switch 41 detects the signal of the rising water pressure in the water inlet pipe 11 and transmits this signal to the water inlet solenoid valve 12, thereby closing the water inlet solenoid valve 12 and stopping the water from entering the water tank 2. Therefore, the sensing element 4 is set to be a pressure sensing switch 41 connected in series on the water inlet pipe 11, so that in the event that the water level detection component 25 fails or the connection between the water level detection component 25 and the water inlet solenoid valve 12 fails, the water inlet solenoid valve 12 can still be closed and the water from entering the water tank 2 can be stopped, thereby achieving double insurance and avoiding overflow.

[0056] At the same time, setting the sensing element 4 as a pressure sensing switch 41 can avoid setting the sensing element 4 inside the water tank 2, thereby making the assembly of the water tank 2 more convenient. It can also avoid increasing the difficulty of cleaning the inside of the water tank 2 due to setting the sensing element 4 inside the water tank 2, further improving the user experience.

[0057] It should be noted that, in practical applications, the water inlet 201 is not limited to being disposed on the fixing seat 22. For example, the water inlet 201 can also be disposed on the water tank 2, etc. Such adjustment and change of the specific location of the water inlet 201 does not deviate from the principle and scope of the present utility model and should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model. Of course, preferably, the water inlet 201 is disposed on the fixing seat 22.

[0058] It should also be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art may set the blocking member 23 to be a rubber member, or may set the blocking member 23 to be a silicone member, or may set the blocking member 23 to be any other possible form, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific setting type of the blocking member 23 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present utility model, and should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0059] Preferably, the sealing member 23 is a silicone member.

[0060] It should be noted that, in actual applications, the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific setting position of the pressure sensing switch 41. For example, the pressure sensing switch 41 can be set at the upstream end of the water inlet solenoid valve 12, or the pressure sensing switch 41 can be set between the water inlet solenoid valve 12 and the water tank 2, and so on. Such adjustments and changes to the setting position of the pressure sensing switch 41 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention, and should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0061] Preferably, the pressure sensing switch 41 is located between the water inlet solenoid valve 12 and the water tank 2 .

[0062] Embodiment 2:

[0063] like Figure 5 As shown, the sensing element 4 is a pressure sensor 42 disposed in the water tank 2. When the mechanical float 21 floats to a high water level, the mechanical float 21 can contact the pressure sensor 42 so that the pressure sensor 42 detects a pressure signal.

[0064] In the event that the water level detection component 25 fails or the connection between the water level detection component 25 and the water inlet solenoid valve 12 fails, when the mechanical float 21 floats to the high water level position in the water tank 2, the mechanical float 21 touches the pressure sensor 42, and the pressure sensor 42 senses the pressure signal and transmits the pressure signal to the water inlet solenoid valve 12, thereby closing the water inlet solenoid valve 12 and stopping the water from entering the water tank 2. Therefore, setting the sensing element 4 as the pressure sensor 42 can still close the water inlet solenoid valve 12 and stop the water from entering the water tank 2 when the water level detection component 25 fails or the connection between the water level detection component 25 and the water inlet solenoid valve 12 fails, thereby achieving double insurance and avoiding overflow.

[0065] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restriction on the specific setting position of the pressure sensor 42, as long as the mechanical float 21 can come into contact with the pressure sensor 42 when the mechanical float 21 floats to the high water level, for example, those skilled in the art may set the pressure sensor 42 on the inner wall of the water tank 2, or, may set the pressure sensor 42 on the fixed seat 22, or, may set the pressure sensor 42 to be fixed inside the water tank 2 by a bracket, etc. Such adjustment and change of the specific setting position of the pressure sensor 42 does not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention, and should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0066] Preferably, the pressure sensor 42 is disposed on the fixing seat 22 .

[0069] In the event that the water level detection component 25 fails or the connection between the water level detection component 25 and the water inlet solenoid valve 12 fails, when the mechanical float 21 floats to the high water level position in the water tank 2, the position sensing sensor 43 can detect the position signal of the mechanical float 21 and transmit the position signal to the water inlet solenoid valve 12, thereby closing the water inlet solenoid valve 12 and stopping the water from entering the water tank 2. Therefore, setting the sensing element 4 as the position sensing sensor 43 can still close the water inlet solenoid valve 12 and stop the water from entering the water tank 2 when the water level detection component 25 fails or the connection between the water level detection component 25 and the water inlet solenoid valve 12 fails, thereby achieving double insurance and avoiding overflow.

[0070] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art may set the position sensing sensor 43 to a photoelectric sensor, or, may set the position sensing sensor 43 to an infrared sensor, or, may set the position sensing sensor 43 to any other possible form, as long as it can detect that the mechanical float 21 is in a high water level position, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific setting type of the position sensing sensor 43 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present utility model, and should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0071] Preferably, the position sensing sensor 43 is an infrared sensor.

[0072] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art may set the position sensing sensor 43 on the inner wall of the water tank 2, or, may set the position sensing sensor 43 on the fixed seat 22, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific setting position of the position sensing sensor 43 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present utility model, and should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0073] Preferably, the position sensing sensor 43 is arranged on the inner wall of the water tank 2 .

[0074] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the beverage device of the present invention further comprises a heating component 6 , which is used to heat the water flowing out of the water tank 2 so as to supply hot water to the brewing chamber 310 .

[0075] With such an arrangement, the water flowing out of the water tank 2 can be heated by the heating component 6, thereby facilitating the supply of hot water to the brewing cavity 310 and facilitating the brewing of beverages.

[0076] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art may configure the heating component 6 as an instant heating module, or, may configure the heating component 6 as a resistive heating module, or, may configure the heating component 6 as any other possible form, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific setting type of the heating component 6 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present utility model, and should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0077] Preferably, the heating component 6 is an instant heating module.

[0078] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art may configure the brewing component 3 as a brewing cup, or, may configure the brewing component 3 as a brewing pot 31, or, may configure the tea brewing component as a brewing pot 31 and a heating seat 32 arranged under the brewing pot 31, wherein a brewing cavity 310 is formed in the brewing pot 31, and the heating seat 32 is used to heat or boil the water in the brewing cavity 310, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific setting type of the brewing component 3 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present utility model, and should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0079] Continue reading Figure 1 , and then see Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the beverage equipment of the utility model Figure 1 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the beverage equipment of the utility model Figure 2 , which shows Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the local cross-sectional structure.

[0080] Preferably, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the brewing assembly 3 includes a brewing pot 31 and a heating seat 32 arranged below the brewing pot 31 . A brewing cavity 310 is formed in the brewing pot 31 . The heating seat 32 is used to heat water in the brewing cavity 310 .

[0081] By configuring the brewing component 3 to include a brewing pot 31 and a heating seat 32 arranged below the brewing pot 31, not only can beverages (such as tea) be brewed, but the water in the brewing pot 31 can also be reheated by the heating seat 32, thereby meeting the demand for making tea. At the same time, when the beverage is cooled, the water in the brewing cavity 310 can also be heated by the heating seat 32 to heat the beverage.

[0082] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art may configure the brewing pot 31 to be detachably connected to the heating seat 32, or may configure the brewing pot 31 to be integrally arranged with the heating seat 32, and so on. Such adjustments and changes to the specific connection method between the brewing pot 31 and the heating seat 32 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present utility model, and should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0083] Preferably, the brewing pot 31 is detachably connected to the heating seat 32 .

[0084] With such a configuration, the brewing pot 31 can be easily removed from the heating seat 32 and used independently, further improving the user experience.

[0085] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art may configure the heating seat 32 to heat the heating plate at the bottom of the brewing pot 31 to heat the water in the brewing cavity 310, or, the heating seat 32 may be configured to have an electromagnetic coil to heat the water in the brewing cavity 310 by electromagnetic heating, or, the heating seat 32 may be configured to be in any other possible form, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific heating method of the heating seat 32 do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present utility model, and should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0086] Preferably, the heating seat 32 can heat the heating plate at the bottom of the brewing pot 31 to heat the water in the brewing cavity 310 .

[0087] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art may connect the water tank 2 to the brewing chamber 310 through a pipeline, and the water in the water tank 2 directly flows into the brewing chamber 310 through the pipeline, or, a water outlet component may be provided, wherein the water outlet component has at least one water outlet, and the brewing component 3 is located below one of the water outlets, and the water in the water tank 2 flows into the brewing chamber 310 through the water outlet, and so on. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present utility model, and should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0088] Preferably, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the beverage device of the present invention further comprises a water outlet assembly connected to the water tank 2 , the water outlet assembly has at least one water outlet nozzle, and the brewing assembly 3 is arranged below one of the water outlet nozzles.

[0089] Through such a configuration, compared with the form of connecting the water tank 2 and the brewing chamber 310 through a pipeline, by providing a water outlet component and allowing the water in the water tank 2 to flow into the brewing chamber 310 through the water outlet nozzle to supply water to the brewing chamber 310, it is possible to avoid connecting the water tank 2 and the brewing component 3 through a pipeline, and it is also convenient to use the brewing pot 31 alone, making the structure of the beverage equipment simpler and further improving the user experience.
