[0047] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 9 A beverage machine of the present application is described.

[0048] The beverage machine according to the embodiment of the present application includes a housing 110 , a sliding member 120 , a water spout 112 and a baffle 130 .

[0049] Specifically, the housing 110 has an installation space to provide installation and storage for components such as a water tank, a heating device, and a storage tank. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 110 is provided with a mounting opening 111, and the sliding member 120 is provided at the mounting opening 111 and is slidably connected to the housing 110. The sliding member 120 is at least along the height direction of the beverage machine (such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The water outlet 112 is movable in the vertical direction (as shown in the figure), for example, a slider is provided on the sliding member 120, a slide groove is provided on the inner wall of the shell 110, the slide groove extends in the vertical direction, the slider is arranged in the slide groove and can slide along the slide groove. The water outlet 112 is connected to the sliding member 120, and the water outlet 112 is arranged outside the shell 110. The water outlet 112 is movable in the height direction following the sliding member 120, and the water outlet 112 and the sliding member 120 jointly cover the installation port 111. There is a pipe in the water outlet 112 for outputting beverages. For example, in some embodiments, the water outlet 112 includes a first discharge port, a second discharge port, a milk delivery pipe, an air delivery pipe, a beverage delivery pipe and a steam delivery pipe. The beverage delivery pipe is connected to the first discharge port; the milk delivery pipe and the air delivery pipe are both connected to the second discharge port. The steam delivery pipe is selectively connected to the beverage delivery pipe and the milk delivery pipe. For example, the steam delivery pipe is connected to the beverage delivery pipe and the milk delivery pipe through a reversing valve. The steam provided by the steam delivery pipe can heat the milk and the beverage. The heated hot milk is output from the second outlet, and the heated coffee is output from the first outlet. The air intake of the input air can be controlled by controlling the opening of the air delivery pipe. The input air, steam and milk are mixed to make the milk foam, and finally the milk foam is output from the second outlet; the air delivery pipe can also be closed so that the second outlet outputs the milk.

[0050] The water spout 112 may be partially located in the installation opening 111, or the water spout 112 may be located outside the housing 110 and at the installation opening 111, and a portion of the sliding member 120 may pass through the installation opening 111 and be connected to the water spout 112. Specifically, one side of the water spout 112 is connected to the sliding member 120, for example, by screw connection or buckle connection, and the other side is located outside the housing 110, and the sliding member 120 drives the water spout 112 to slide up and down in the installation opening 111. The sliding member 120 drives the water spout 112 to move so as to adjust the water outlet height to adapt to the height of the cup. When the user uses a cup of lower height to collect water, the sliding member 120 can be used to move the water spout 112 downward to bring the water spout 112 closer to the cup mouth to reduce the probability of water splashing; when the user uses a cup of higher height to collect water, the sliding member 120 can be used to slide the water spout 112 upward so that the cup can be placed vertically under the water spout 112, and there is no need to tilt the cup to collect water, thereby ensuring that the cup can be filled with water.

[0051] The baffle 130 is connected to the sliding member 120. The baffle 130 is disposed in the housing 110. The baffle 130 can move with the sliding member 120, that is, the sliding member 120 drives the water outlet 112 and the baffle 130 to move relative to the housing 110 at the same time. The baffle 130 is suitable for shielding the installation opening 111. When the sliding member 120 drives the water outlet 112 to move in the installation opening 111, it drives the baffle 130 to move to shield the installation opening 111. It can be understood that when the water outlet 112 moves and changes its position in the installation opening 111, part of the installation opening 111 is not blocked by the water outlet 112, and the internal structure of the housing 110 can be seen through the installation opening 111. On the one hand, the airtightness of the housing 110 is not good, and the splashed water or dust easily falls into the housing 110, making the internal parts of the housing 110 dirty and rusty; on the other hand, the aesthetics is not good. The baffle 130 is used to shield the installation opening 111 to prevent external dust from falling into the housing 110 and to prevent water from splashing into the housing 110 when receiving water, so as to protect the internal structure of the housing 110 and facilitate cleaning, while improving the aesthetics. The height of the baffle 130 in the vertical direction is greater than the height of the installation opening 111, and the width in the left and right direction is greater than the width of the installation opening 111, so as to shield the installation opening 111. Figure 1 As shown, when the water outlet 112 moves to abut against the top edge of the installation opening 111, the baffle 130 can cover the portion from the bottom edge of the installation opening 111 to the bottom of the water outlet 112; Figure 2 As shown, when the water spout 112 moves to abut against the bottom edge of the installation opening 111, the baffle 130 blocks the portion between the top edge of the installation opening 111 and the top of the water spout 112. When the water spout 112 is located between the top edge and the bottom edge of the installation opening 111, the portion of the baffle 130 protruding from the top of the water spout 112 and the portion of the baffle 130 protruding from the bottom of the water spout 112 both block the installation opening 111.

[0052] The movement stroke of the sliding member 120 moving in the height direction has a highest point, a switching point and a lowest point, and the switching point is located between the highest point and the lowest point. When the sliding member 120 is between the switching point and the lowest point or between the switching point and the highest point, at least part of the baffle 130 is locked with the housing 110, and the baffle 130 and the sliding member 120 can slide relative to each other. In other words, when the sliding member 120 is between the switching point and the lowest point, at least part of the baffle 130 is locked with the housing 110, or, when the sliding member 120 is between the switching point and the highest point, at least part of the baffle 130 is locked with the housing 110. In this way, during the movement of the sliding member 120, after passing the switching point, the baffle 130 is locked relative to the housing 110 and no longer moves with the sliding member 120, the movement stroke of the baffle 130 is small, and the space it occupies in the housing 110 is relatively small.

[0053] In some embodiments, between the switching point and the lowest point, the baffle 130 is locked with the housing 110, and the baffle 130 slides relatively with the sliding member 120; between the switching point and the highest point, the baffle 130 is unlocked with the housing 110, and the baffle 130 moves following the sliding member 120. Alternatively, between the switching point and the highest point, part of the baffle 130 is locked with the housing 110, and the baffle 130 slides relatively with the sliding member 120; between the switching point and the lowest point, part of the baffle 130 is unlocked with the housing 110, and the baffle 130 moves following the sliding member 120.

[0054] For example, when the slider 120 moves from the high side to the low side (ie, Figure 2 When the baffle 130 moves from the highest side of the mounting opening 111 to the lowest side (where the highest side represents the highest point in the movement stroke of the sliding member 120, and the lowest side represents the lowest point in the movement stroke of the sliding member 120), and passes the switching point, the baffle 130 is locked with the housing 110 as a whole, and the baffle 130 and the sliding member 120 can slide relative to each other. For example, when the sliding member 120 moves from the highest side of the mounting opening 111 to the lowest side (where the highest side represents the highest point in the movement stroke of the sliding member 120, and the lowest side represents the lowest point in the movement stroke of the sliding member 120), when passing the switching point, the baffle 130 and the housing 110 are locked, and then, when the sliding member 120 continues to move toward the bottom, the baffle 130 and the housing 110 are relatively stationary, and the baffle 130 and the sliding member 120 slide relative to each other. In this way, the movement stroke of the baffle 130 is shorter, which can reduce the space occupied by the baffle 130, facilitate storage, and save the internal space of the housing 110. It is understandable that the height of the baffle 130 should satisfy the following requirements: when the sliding member 120 is located at the lowest side, the top edge of the baffle 130 is higher than the top edge of the mounting opening 111; when the sliding member 120 is located at the highest side, the bottom edge of the baffle 130 is lower than the bottom edge of the mounting opening 111, so as to cover the mounting opening 111 together with the water outlet 112.

[0055] When the sliding member 120 moves from the low side to the high side and passes the switching point, the baffle 130 is unlocked from the housing 110, and the baffle 130 can move following the sliding member 120, that is, Figure 1 As shown, when moving from bottom to top, when passing the switching point, the baffle 130 is unlocked from the shell 110 and fixed to the sliding member 120. The sliding member 120 drives the baffle 130 to move upward, so that the baffle 130 can cover the part of the installation port 111 below the water outlet 112.

[0056] According to the beverage machine of the embodiment of the present application, the baffle 130 is provided, and the slider 120 can drive the baffle 130 to move, so as to match the movement of the water outlet 112 to cover the installation port 111, thereby improving the airtightness of the housing 110, preventing splashed water or dust from falling into the housing 110, so as to protect the internal structure of the housing 110, and improving the aesthetics. When the slider 120 is between the switching point and the lowest point or between the switching point and the highest point, the baffle 130 is locked with the housing 110, thereby reducing the movement stroke of the baffle 130, and the baffle 130 is easy to store, saving the internal space of the housing 110.

[0057] See also Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the baffle 130 includes a first baffle 131 and a second baffle 132, and the first baffle 131 and the second baffle 132 are arranged in an up-down direction (such as Figure 7 ) distribution, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first baffle 131 is connected to the sliding member 120, and the top side of the first baffle 131 is higher than the top edge of the installation opening 111; the second baffle 132 is slidably connected to the sliding member 120, and the bottom edge of the second baffle 132 is lower than the bottom edge of the installation opening 111. When the sliding member 120 moves to the switching point, the second baffle 132 is locked or unlocked with the housing 110. For example, when the sliding member 120 moves from the high side to the low side and passes the switching point, the second baffle 132 is locked with the housing 110, and the sliding member 120 continues to move toward the low side, then the second baffle 132 is fixed relative to the housing 110, the sliding member 120 slides relative to the second baffle 132, and the first baffle 131 follows the sliding member 120 to continue to move toward the low side, so as to cover the portion from the top edge of the installation opening 111 to the top of the water outlet 112. When the sliding member 120 moves from the low side to the high side and passes the switching point, the second baffle 132 is unlocked from the shell 110, and the second baffle 132 is fixed to the sliding member 120. The sliding member 120 continues to move toward the high side and drives the second baffle 132 to move toward the high side to cover the portion between the bottom edge of the installation port 111 and the bottom of the water outlet.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first baffle 131 is slidably connected to the slider 120, for example, connected in the form of a slider slot, and the second baffle 132 is fixedly connected to the slider 120. When the slider 120 moves between the switching point and the highest point, the first baffle 131 is locked with the housing 110, and the first baffle 131 and the slider 120 can slide relative to each other; when the slider 120 moves between the switching point and the lowest point, the first baffle 131 is unlocked from the housing 110, and the first baffle 131 can move with the slider 120. For example, a block is provided inside the housing 110, and a groove body with an opening facing the lower side is provided on the block, and when the slider 120 moves between the switching point and the highest point, the top edge of the first baffle 131 is suitable for being embedded in the groove body on the block. Among them, the top edge of the first baffle 131 can be sleeved with a rubber member so that the first baffle 131 is stably embedded in the groove body. The first baffle 131 may be provided with a lower top block, and the sliding member 120 may be provided with an upper top block. When the sliding member 120 moves between the switching point and the lowest point, the top edge of the first baffle 131 disengages from the groove on the baffle, and the bottom surface of the upper top block abuts against the top surface of the lower top block, so that the sliding member 120 can drive the first baffle 131 to move toward the lower side.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first baffle 131 and the second baffle 132 are spaced apart in the height direction, and when the sliding member 120 is located at the highest side or the lowest side, the first baffle 131 and the second baffle 132 are spaced apart, that is, the first baffle 131 and the second baffle 132 do not overlap, which can simplify the connection structure of the first baffle 131, the second baffle 132 and the sliding member 120, and the first baffle 131 and the second baffle 132 can be set at a position that fits the inner wall of the housing 110, thereby improving the sealing performance. For example, the height of the sliding member 120 (such as Figure 7 The dimension in the up and down directions shown in the figure is greater than the distance from the switching point to the lowest point of the movement stroke of the sliding member 120, the first baffle 131 can be connected to the top of the sliding member 120, and the second baffle 132 can be connected to the bottom of the sliding member 120, that is, the distance between the bottom edge of the first baffle 131 and the top edge of the second baffle 132 is greater than the distance from the switching point to the lowest point of the movement stroke of the sliding member 120, so that when the second baffle 132 slides relative to the sliding member 120, it will not interfere with or overlap with the first baffle 131.

[0060] When the water outlet 112 abuts against the bottom edge of the installation opening 111, the first baffle 131 blocks the gap from the top edge of the installation opening 111 to the top of the water outlet 112; when the water outlet 112 abuts against the top edge of the installation opening 111, the second baffle 132 blocks the gap from the bottom edge of the installation opening 111 to the bottom of the water outlet 112. In this way, the first baffle 131 is arranged above the water outlet 112, and the second baffle 132 is arranged below the water outlet 112, so as to ensure that when the water outlet 112 moves in the installation opening 111, the gap from the top of the water outlet 112 to the top edge of the installation opening 111 and the gap from the bottom of the water outlet 112 to the bottom edge of the installation opening 111 are blocked, thereby improving the airtightness and overall aesthetics of the housing 110. In some embodiments, the side of the first baffle 131 facing the water outlet 112 and the side of the second baffle 132 facing the water outlet 112 are in contact with the inner wall of the shell 110, or the distance between the side of the first baffle 131 facing the water outlet 112 and the side of the second baffle 132 facing the water outlet 112 and the shell 110 is less than or equal to 5 mm, so as to further improve the sealing performance of the shell 110.

[0061] According to some embodiments of the present application, the sliding member 120 is provided with a first fixing portion, the baffle is provided with a second fixing portion, the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion are detachably connected, and a stopper is provided on the housing 110. When the sliding member 120 moves from the high side to the low side and passes through the switching point, the baffle 130 abuts against the stopper, the baffle 130 is locked with the housing 110, and the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion are separated, so that the baffle 130 slides relative to the sliding member 120. For example, the stopper may be a rib or a bump on the housing 110, and the bottom edge of the baffle 130 abuts against the rib, thereby preventing the baffle 130 from continuing to move downward and separating the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion. The second baffle 132 is located at the bottom side of the first baffle 131. Between the switching point and the lowest point, the second baffle 132 is locked with the shell 110. The second baffle 132 overlaps the stopper under the action of gravity, that is, when the second baffle 132 is locked with the shell 110 by the action of gravity, such a setting has a simple structure and low cost.

[0062] The first fixing portion may be a groove with an opening toward the high side, and the second fixing portion may be a protrusion.
