[0037] Below, the embodiments of the utility model are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a beverage machine control system, including:

[0039] A power circuit board 1, having a plurality of first interface terminals 4 and a second interface terminal 5, wherein the plurality of first interface terminals 4 are all connected to the second interface terminal 5;

[0040] At least one set of load components 3 connected to a first interface terminal 4 of the power circuit board 1;

[0041] The control circuit board 2 is connected to the second interface terminal 5, and is used to be connected to the at least one group of load components 3 through the second interface terminal 5 and the first interface terminal 4 to transmit data and signals, thereby controlling the operation of the at least one group of load components 3.

[0042] Based on the contents of the above embodiments, it can be known that the beneficial effects of this embodiment include that the beverage machine control system can be constructed by setting a power circuit board 1 having multiple first interface terminals 4 and a second interface terminal 5, at least one group of load components 3 connected to a first interface terminal 4 of the power circuit board 1, and a control circuit board 2 connected to the second interface terminal 5 for connecting to the at least one group of load components 3 through the second interface terminal 5 and the first interface terminal 4 to transmit data and signals, thereby controlling the operation of the at least one group of load components 3. The process is simple and easy to implement. Moreover, by uniformly connecting each group of load components 3 to the power circuit board 1 and the control circuit board 2, the power supply and flexible control of each group of load components 3 can be realized through the power circuit board 1 and the control circuit board 2, without the need to set up multiple different controllers to control different loads, saving the use of components and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0043] That is, in this embodiment, the power supply and control of each group of load components 3 in the beverage machine are correspondingly integrated on the power circuit board 1 and the control circuit board 2, and are independently connected to each other through corresponding interface terminals, so that independent power supply and independent control can be achieved, and at the same time the preparation cost of the beverage machine can be reduced.

[0044] In one embodiment, the multiple first interface terminals 4 are respectively connected to different channels of the second interface terminal 5 based on different lines, the control circuit board 2 has a third interface terminal matching the second interface terminal 5, and the control circuit is connected to the second interface terminal 5 through the third interface terminal, wherein different channels of the second interface terminal 5 are correspondingly connected to different channels of the third interface terminal, so that the control circuit board 2 can transmit data and signals with different load components 3 based on different channels and lines.

[0045] Based on the structure of this embodiment, the control circuit board 2 can selectively control different groups of load components 3 in response to the user's instructions. For example, the beverage machine has a control board, which is connected to the control circuit board 2. The user can select different functions based on the information displayed on the screen of the control board, or instruct the control board to control different load components 3, such as adjusting the temperature, increasing the flow rate, etc. At this time, the control board will output a signal to the control circuit board 2, so that after determining the corresponding load component 3, it will implement independent control through the corresponding channel and line.

[0046] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to facilitate the connection between the load component 3 and the power circuit board 1 and the signal circuit board, the beverage machine control system in this embodiment also includes:

[0047] The adapter module 6 has a load component 3 port and a control line port. The load component 3 port is used to connect to a group of load components 3 , and the control line port is used to connect to the first interface terminal 4 corresponding to the load component 3 .

[0048] Specifically, continue to combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the load component 3 in this embodiment has multiple loads, the load component 3 port has first sub-ports corresponding to the multiple loads, the control line port has second sub-ports corresponding to the multiple loads, and the first sub-port corresponding to the same load is connected to the second sub-port. In addition, for the transmission of signals and currents, the first sub-port and the second sub-port can also have modulation capabilities such as adjustment or format conversion, so that the interactive data between the control circuit board 2 and the load can be interpreted by the other party.

[0049] Specifically, the multiple first interface terminals 4 in this embodiment are independent of each other, there are multiple load components 3, each load component 3 is connected to the corresponding first interface terminal 4 via a switching module 6, and different load components 3 are connected to different switching modules 6. That is, there are multiple switching modules 6, and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with multiple groups of load components 3.

[0050] Continue to combine Figure 2 As shown, the load component 3 in this embodiment includes a peristaltic pump 7 , and the peristaltic pump 7 obtains electrical energy and a control signal of the control circuit board 2 through the correspondingly connected first interface terminal 4 .

[0051] Furthermore, the load component 3 also includes a liquid level sensor 8 for sensing the liquid level in the beverage box, a temperature sensor 9 for sensing the liquid problem in the beverage box, and a concentration sensor 10 for sensing the concentration of the liquid in the beverage box. The liquid level sensor 8, the temperature sensor 9, and the concentration sensor 10 respectively obtain electrical energy through the correspondingly connected first interface terminals 4, and upload the sensing data to the control circuit board 2, so that the control circuit board 2 controls the operation of the peristaltic pump 7 based on the sensing data matching.

[0052] In actual application, the sensed data about the liquid in the beverage box can also be fed back to the screen of the control panel for the user to view, so that the user can obtain the beverage preparation information in time, and it is convenient for the user to perform customized control.

[0053] Furthermore, the load assembly 3 further comprises a photoelectric sensor 11, which is located in a delivery pipe connected to the peristaltic pump 7 and the beverage box at both ends, respectively, for sensing the delivery flow rate, and the photoelectric sensor 11 obtains electrical energy through the correspondingly connected first interface terminal 4, and uploads sensing data to the control circuit board 2, so that the control circuit board 2 controls the operation of the peristaltic pump 7 based on the sensing data matching. If the flow rate is too fast, the control reduces the energy supply to the peristaltic pump 7, and if the flow rate is slow, the control increases the energy supply to the peristaltic pump 7. This control can be realized by adjusting the opening of the energy supply line through the adapter module 6, and can also be realized by adjusting the electrical energy through the power supply circuit board 1.

[0054] In another embodiment, the load assembly 3 further includes a refrigeration device 12, and the refrigeration device 12 obtains electrical energy and a refrigeration control signal of the control circuit board 2 through the correspondingly connected first interface terminal 4. If the user needs a low-temperature beverage, or the user needs a high-temperature beverage, the refrigeration device 12 can be controlled to heat or cool the beverage.

[0055] Another embodiment of the present invention also provides a beverage machine, including the beverage machine control system as described in any one of the embodiments above.
