Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of unmanned vending machines, and in particular relates to a multi-material composite discharging component and on-the-spot manufacturing and selling equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the development of automation and intelligent technology, unmanned coffee kiosks have gradually become a part of modern urban life, providing consumers with convenient and efficient coffee beverage services. However, in unmanned coffee kiosks, the production and processing of beverages still faces some technical challenges.

[0003] In existing unmanned coffee kiosks, making a cup of drink usually requires a variety of materials, including but not limited to powdered solid materials (such as coffee powder, powdered sugar, etc.), concentrated liquid materials (such as jam, syrup, etc.), coffee concentrate, milk and hot water, etc. The addition and mixing of these materials usually need to go through multiple different stations and need to be added in a specific order and proportion to ensure the quality and taste of the drink.

[0004] In the current production process, the production time of a cup of drink is relatively long due to the large number of workstations for adding materials and the complexity of the process. First, each workstation requires corresponding equipment and operations, which increases the complexity of the equipment and maintenance costs. Second, the transfer and waiting of materials between multiple workstations not only reduces production efficiency, but also increases the risk of errors and contamination that may occur during the drink production process.

[0005] In addition, since the order and proportion of material addition are crucial to the quality of the beverage, the existing production process often relies on manual operation or complex control systems to ensure the accuracy and consistency of material addition. This not only increases labor costs, but may also lead to human errors during operation, affecting the quality and taste of the beverage.

[0006] Therefore, developing a technical solution that can efficiently integrate the ingredient process, reduce workstation dependence, and quickly and accurately complete the one-time addition of multiple materials has become the key to solving the current operational difficulties of unmanned coffee kiosks.
