Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field related to automatic smoothie machines, and in particular to a pre-packaged beverage quantitative extraction device that is anti-stuck. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, the existing smoothie making equipment requires manual pouring of the smoothie pulp (modulated liquid) into the smoothie evaporator for making the smoothie. Generally, the smoothie evaporator is in the shape of a drum. When the manually poured smoothie pulp contacts the surface of the smoothie evaporator, it will quickly cool down and form ice crystals, which are then scraped off by a tangential scraper to form smoothies. Manually pouring the pulp makes it difficult to control the amount, which easily leads to problems such as pulp waste, uncontrollable flow, and low intelligence, making the feeding and production of smoothies unstable and inefficient.

[0003] In view of the above situation, the patent announcement number CN220948652U discloses a quantitative extraction device for prepackaged beverages, including: a bracket, a plurality of storage compartments are provided on the bracket, and the storage compartments are provided with prepackaged beverages; a screw module is provided above the prepackaged beverage, and a straw needle is provided on the screw module, and the screw module pushes the straw needle into the prepackaged beverage to extract the beverage in the prepackaged beverage. The quantitative extraction device for prepackaged beverages is provided with a plurality of storage compartments for storing prepackaged beverages of different varieties, and the straw needle extracts beverages of different varieties of prepackaged beverages, so that the ice smoothie machine can make ice smoothies of different flavors to meet the diverse needs of consumers.

[0031] The technical solution of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 4A pre-packaged beverage quantitative extraction device for preventing box jams comprises: a base 1, a screw module 2 is fixed on the base 1, a sliding block 21 is provided on the screw module 2, a needle seat 3 is connected to the sliding block 21, and a straw needle 31 is provided on the needle seat 3. A pre-packaged beverage box 4 is located below the straw needle 31, and the sliding block 21 drives the needle seat 3 to slide up and down, thereby enabling the straw needle 31 on the needle seat 3 to slide up and down. The straw needle 31 is used to insert into the pre-packaged beverage box 4 to extract the beverage, and when the straw needle 31 slides downward, it is inserted into the pre-packaged beverage box 4. When the straw needle 31 slides upward, it exits the pre-packaged beverage box 4. A peristaltic pump 5 is also fixed on the base 1, and a feed port 51 and a discharge port 52 are provided on the peristaltic pump 5, and the feed port 51 is connected to the straw needle 31, and the discharge port 52 transports the extracted beverage out. A beverage baffle 32 is fixed on the needle seat 3 , and the beverage baffle 32 is located in front of the straw needle 31 . The beverage baffle 32 abuts against one side of the pre-packaged beverage box 4 .

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 4 During the process of the straw needle 31 being inserted into the pre-packaged beverage box 4, the beverage baffle 32 presses against the pre-packaged beverage box 4 to prevent the pre-packaged beverage box 4 from tipping over; during the process of the straw needle 31 being withdrawn from the pre-packaged beverage box 4, the beverage baffle 32 presses against the pre-packaged beverage box 4 to prevent the pre-packaged beverage box 4 from tipping over.

[0034] See also Figures 1 to 4, a containing space is formed between the straw needle 31 and the beverage baffle 32, and part of the pre-packaged beverage box 4 is located in the containing space. The beverage baffle 32 is provided with a fixing portion 33, and the fixing portion 33 is fixed on the needle seat 3. The fixing portion 33 is connected to a bending portion 34, and the bending portion 34 extends downward to form a stopper 35. The end of the stopper 35 is flanged to form a guide portion 36, and the guide portion 36 guides the pre-packaged beverage box 4 to enter the containing space. The stopper 35 blocks the front side of the pre-packaged beverage box 4, limits the position of the pre-packaged beverage box 4, and prevents the pre-packaged beverage box 4 from tipping over. Specifically, a beverage baffle 32 is provided at the front end of the needle holder 3. The beverage baffle 32 will limit and fix the box as the straw needle 31 punctures the prepackaged beverage box 4, preventing the prepackaged beverage box 4 from being displaced or tipped over during the puncture process, thereby realizing a precise positioning function and being able to accurately and smoothly drive the straw needle 31 to puncture the upper part of the packaged beverage. At the same time, when the straw needle 31 withdraws from the prepackaged beverage box 4, the beverage baffle 32 abuts against the prepackaged beverage box 4, thereby increasing the friction between the beverage baffle 32 and the prepackaged beverage box 4. When the straw needle 31 withdraws from the prepackaged beverage box 4, the prepackaged beverage box 4 will not move upward as the straw needle 31 moves upward, so that the straw needle 31 effectively withdraws from the prepackaged beverage box 4, ensuring that the vending machine works normally.
