Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments

[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1-6 , the present utility model provides a technical solution:

[0030] A zero-sugar carbonated beverage mixing tank, comprising a main tank body 1. The top of the main tank body 1 is open. A layered tank 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the main tank body 1. The bottom of the layered tank 2 is open. A plurality of annularly and equidistantly distributed layered plates 7 are arranged inside the layered tank 2. The plurality of layered plates 7 are fixedly connected to each other. The plurality of layered plates 7 are rotationally connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the layered tank 2. It further includes:

[0031] An adding component, which is located inside the layered tank 2 and is used to automatically put the additive located between two layered plates 7 into the main tank body 1;

[0032] A stirring component, which is located inside the main tank body 1 and is used to mix the additive with the carbonated beverage, and can be added according to the user's sweetness requirement.

[0033] Further, the adding component includes a movable column 10, a pushing block 11 and a film 13. A cavity is formed between two layered plates 7 and the inner wall of the layered tank 2. A film 13 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the layered plate 7 and the side wall of the layered tank 2. The top of the layered tank 2 is movably connected with a movable column 10. The end of the movable column 10 is fixedly connected with a pushing block 11. The pushing block 11 is located inside the layered tank 2. A spike part is arranged at the bottom of the pushing block 11. Open the second protective cover 4 and then rotate the movable column 10 to make the clamping block 19 move up and down in the through hole 17, thereby driving the pushing block 11 to contact the film 13 and apply pressure to pierce the film 13, so that the additive falls into the main tank body 1.

[0034] Further, a through hole 17 penetrating the top of the layered tank 2 is opened at the top of the layered tank 2. A placement groove 18 is opened at the top of the layered tank 2. The through hole 17 and the placement groove 18 are arranged in a "cross" structure. A clamping block 19 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the movable column 10. The clamping block 19 penetrates the through hole 17. The clamping block 19 is clamped with the placement groove 18. The clamping block 19 moves up and down in the through hole 17.

[0035] Further, a notch 14 is opened on the inner wall of the layered tank 2. A plurality of telescopic springs 15 are fixedly connected inside the notch 14. The other ends of the plurality of telescopic springs 15 are fixedly connected with a baffle 16. The baffle 16 is movably connected with the outer surface of the layered plate 7. The telescopic springs 15 and the baffle 16 arranged in the notch 14 on the inner wall of the layered tank 2 enable the layered plate 7 to contact the baffle 16 during the rotation process. After the contact, the baffle 16 resets under the action of the telescopic spring 15 during the continuous movement. The setting of the baffle 16 facilitates the user to know the additive in another cavity during the rotation process.

[0036] Furthermore, the stirring assembly includes a rigid pipe 8 and stirring blades 12. The rigid pipe 8 is fixedly connected inside the intersection of multiple layered plates 7. The rigid pipe 8 penetrates through the intersection of the multiple layered plates 7 and is rotatably connected to the bottom of the layered tank 2. A plurality of equally spaced stirring blades 12 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rigid pipe 8 located inside the main tank 1. A telescopic pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the rigid pipe 8. The inside of the rigid pipe 8 and the telescopic pipe 9 is hollow. The rotation of the rigid pipe 8 drives the stirring blades 12 fixed on the outer surface of the rigid pipe 8 to rotate inside the main tank 1, realizing the full mixing of the additive and the carbonated beverage.

[0037] Furthermore, the top of the layered tank 2 is threadedly connected with a first protective cover 3 and a second protective cover 4. The rigid pipe 8 is located inside the first protective cover 3, and the movable column 10 is located inside the second protective cover 4. The first protective cover 3 and the second protective cover 4 protect the rigid pipe 8 and the movable column 10 respectively.

[0038] Furthermore, two symmetrically distributed handles 6 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the main tank 1, and a base 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the main tank 1. The design of the handles 6 and the base 5 facilitates the user to carry and operate the mixing tank, improving the convenience and stability of use.

[0039] Working principle: When the staff needs to use this zero-sugar carbonated beverage mixing tank, the additive is pre-placed in the layered tank 2. A film 13 is fixed at the bottom of each cavity formed between each layered plate 7 and the inner wall of the layered tank 2. These films 13 seal the additive to prevent it from leaking into the main tank 1 in advance.

[0040] The design of the layered tank 2 allows different types of additives to be stored in layers so that they can be added in sequence during the mixing process, ensuring the taste and quality of the beverage. The initial state of the pushing block 11 is above multiple layered plates 7 and inside the layered tank 2. When an additive needs to be dispensed, the second protective cover 4 is opened and then the movable column 10 is rotated, causing the clamping block 19 to move up and down within the through hole 17, thereby driving the pushing block 11 to contact and apply pressure to the film 13, piercing the film 13 and causing the additive to fall into the main tank body 1. The movable column 10 is moved upward so that the clamping block 19 is removed from the through hole 17, and the pushing block 11 is above two adjacent layered plates 7 and does not contact the two layered plates 7, thus not affecting the rotation of the movable column 10. The movable column 10 is rotated so that its clamping block 19 is clamped on the placement groove 18. If another portion of the additive is needed, the rigid tube 8 can be rotated. During the rotation of the rigid tube 8, it drives multiple layered plates 7 to rotate, thereby moving the cavity formed by the other two layered plates 7 below the pushing block 11. A telescopic spring 15 and a baffle 16 are provided in the notch 14 on the inner wall of the layered tank 2 such that the layered plate 7 contacts the baffle 16 during rotation. After contact, during the continued movement, the baffle 16 is reset under the action of the telescopic spring 15. The setting of the baffle 16 facilitates the user to know that it is the additive in another cavity during rotation. When the beverage needs to be mixed, the movable column 10 is moved upward so that the pushing block 11 returns to its initial state. At this time, the pushing block 11 does not contact the layered plate 7. The first protective cover 3 is opened and the rigid tube 8 is rotated. The rigid tube 8 rotates and drives the stirring blades 12 fixed on the outer surface of the rigid tube 8 to rotate inside the main tank body 1, realizing the full mixing of the additive and the carbonated beverage. The setting of the telescopic tube 9 facilitates the user to suck the beverage from various angles. The first protective cover 3 and the second protective cover 4 respectively protect the rigid tube 8 and the movable column 10. The design of the handle 6 and the base 5 facilitates the user to carry and operate the mixing ratio tank, improving the convenience and stability of use, and thus the addition can be adjusted according to the user's sweetness requirement.
