Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of beverage preparation, in particular to a quantitative proportioning device for beverage preparation. Background Art

[0002] Tianma Liver Protection Drink is a beverage with health care functions. Its main ingredient is Tianma, supplemented by other herbs or ingredients. Tianma, as a traditional Chinese medicine, has the effects of calming the liver and extinguishing wind, unblocking meridians and relieving pain, and removing wind and dampness. It is often used to treat symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and limb numbness. At the same time, Tianma is also believed to have health care functions such as protecting the liver and improving immunity. During the production process of Tianma Liver Protection Drink, various raw materials need to be accurately proportioned to ensure that the taste and efficacy of each cup of Tianma Liver Protection Drink remain consistent.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution for a quantitative proportioning device for preparing a beverage: a quantitative proportioning device for preparing a beverage, comprising a stirring tank (1), a quantitative proportioning mechanism (2) is arranged on the stirring tank (1) and is used for quantitative proportioning of raw materials, and the quantitative proportioning mechanism (2) comprises:

[0026] A control assembly (21), comprising a cover plate (211) mounted on the top of the stirring tank (1);

[0027] A feeding component (22), which is arranged on the control component (21) and is used to control the feeding of raw materials;

[0028] The material discharge assembly (23) comprises four measuring cylinders (231) fixed on the cover plate (211) and distributed in a circumference, an extension cylinder (232) sleeved and mounted on the measuring cylinder (231), an ultrasonic sensor (233) mounted inside the upper end of the extension cylinder (232), an electric push rod (234) mounted on the material feed assembly (22), and a cross bracket (235) mounted at the output end of the electric push rod (234), wherein the four ends of the cross bracket (235) are respectively fixed to the outer walls of the four extension cylinders (232).

[0029] In this embodiment, the cross bracket (235) is driven by the output end of the electric push rod (234) to drive the extension cylinder (232) to move up or down. Since the capacity inside the measuring cylinder (231) is a fixed value, the capacity of the extended portion of the extension cylinder (232) can be adjusted by the length of the extension cylinder (232) extending upward from the measuring cylinder (231), so that the extended portions of the measuring cylinder (231) and the extension cylinder (232) are the total capacity.

[0030] Specifically, the material discharge assembly (23) further comprises a slope (236) fixed to one side of the inner wall of the lower end of the measuring cylinder (231).

[0031] In this embodiment, since the sealing plate (213) can only open half of the lower end of the measuring cylinder (231) at most, a slope (236) is provided at the other end of the measuring cylinder (231), so that after the lower end of the measuring cylinder (231) is opened, the material accumulated on the slope (236) can slide down.

[0032] Specifically, the material discharge assembly (23) further comprises a sealing ring (237) fixed to the outer wall of the upper end of the measuring cylinder (231).

[0033] In this embodiment, the sealing ring (237) is used to improve the sealing performance between the outer wall of the measuring cylinder (231) and the inner wall of the extension cylinder (232), thereby preventing the internal material from leaking out.

[0034] Specifically, the feed assembly (22) includes a support frame (221) fixed on the top of the cover plate (211), a hopper (222) fixed on the upper end of the support frame (221), four hoses (223) connected to the outer wall of the lower end of the hopper (222), and the lower end of the hose (223) is connected to the valve (224), and the other end of the valve (224) is connected to the upper end of the extension tube (232).

[0035] In this embodiment, after the valve (224) is opened, the material in the hopper (222) passes through the hose (223) and the valve (224) and falls into the measuring cylinder (231) and the extension cylinder (232).

[0036] Specifically, the feeding assembly (22) further includes a cross partition (225) fixed inside the hopper (222).

[0037] In this embodiment, the interior of the hopper (222) is divided into four parts by a cross partition (225), so that the four parts can be filled with the same or different materials according to the usage.

[0038] Specifically, the control component (21) further comprises four circumferentially distributed slide rails (212) fixed at the bottom of the cover plate (211), and a sealing plate (213) is slidably installed inside the slide rails (212); a servo motor (214) is installed at the center of the top of the cover plate (211), and a square plate (215) is installed at the output end of the servo motor (214); and connecting rods (216) are pivotally connected at the four corners of the square plate (215), and the other end of the connecting rod (216) is pivotally connected to the sealing plate (213).

[0039] In this embodiment, the square plate (215) is driven to rotate by the output end of the servo motor (214), and the square plate (215) drives the sealing plate (213) to slide along the inside of the slide rail (212) through the connecting rod (216), thereby realizing the simultaneous control of the switches at the bottom of the four measuring cylinders (231).

[0040] The working principle and use process of the utility model are as follows: first, the output end of the electric push rod (234) drives the cross bracket (235) to drive the extension cylinder (232) to move up or down. Since the capacity inside the measuring cylinder (231) is a fixed value, the capacity of the extended portion of the extension cylinder (232) can be adjusted by the length of the extension cylinder (232) extending upward from the measuring cylinder (231), so that the extended portion of the measuring cylinder (231) and the extension cylinder (232) is the total capacity, so that the total capacity can be adjusted to the required addition amount each time;

[0041] Then, the material is poured into the hopper (222), and the valve (224) is opened, so that the material passes through the hose (223) and the valve (224) and falls into the measuring cylinder (231) and the extension cylinder (232). When the material is full, it is sensed by the ultrasonic sensor (233) and the servo motor (214) is controlled to start;

[0042] Finally, the square plate (215) is driven to rotate by the output end of the servo motor (214), and the square plate (215) drives the sealing plate (213) to slide along the inside of the slide rail (212) through the connecting rod (216), thereby achieving simultaneous control of the bottoms of the four measuring cylinders (231) and opening them at the same time, so that the materials fall into the mixing tank (1).

[0043] The model of the electric push rod is: LAF16-09, the model of the servo motor is: EDSMT-2T110-020A, and the model of the ultrasonic sensor is: 7ML1115-1CA30. All of them are products using existing mature technologies and will not be elaborated on in detail here. All the electrical components appearing in this article are connected to the external main controller and 220V AC power.
