The moving mechanism 70 is also used to pour the beverage in the shaker 10 into the cup 100. The moving mechanism 70 includes a conveyor belt 710 and a first manipulator 720. The conveyor belt 710 is used to carry and move the shaker 10, and the first manipulator 720 is used to grab the shaker 10 and invert the shaker 10.
[0042] A frame 80 for carrying the ice dropping machine 20, the filling machine 30, the heating machine 40, the cup washing machine 50, the labeling machine 60 and the moving mechanism 70.
[0043] According to the cup dropping and labeling device in the above embodiments, the moving mechanism 70 first transports the shaker cup 10 to the ice dropping machine 20, and the fully automatic tea drink production equipment decides whether to add ice to the shaker cup 10 and how much ice to add according to the customer's order. Then, the moving mechanism 70 moves the shaker cup 10 to the filling machine, and the filling machine 30 automatically fills the drink corresponding to the customer's order into the shaker cup 10 according to the order. Immediately afterwards, the moving mechanism 70 moves the shaker cup 10 to the heating machine 40 to provide heating service for customers who need hot drinks. At the same time, the disposable cup 100 has been labeled by the labeling machine 60, and the first manipulator 720 inverts the shaker cup 10 so as to pour the drink in the shaker cup 10 into the cup 100. Finally, the first manipulator 720 places the shaker cup 10 upside down on the cup washing machine 50 for cleaning. After the shaker cup 10 is cleaned, the first manipulator 720 places the shaker cup 10 with its opening facing upwards on the conveyor belt 710 for the next round of drink preparation work. Implementing the fully automatic tea drink production equipment in the present utility model can achieve the purpose of improving the tea drink production efficiency and ensuring the consistency of the tea drink taste.
[0044] Generally, the shaker cup 10 is transferred between the ice dropping machine 20, the filling machine 30 and the heating machine 40 through the conveyor belt 710.
[0045] The ice dropping machine 20 generally has a cold storage room, and a lot of small ice cubes are generally placed inside the cold storage room. The small ice cubes are added to the shaker cup 10 by means of rotary transmission. The ice dropping machine 20 generally has a weighing mechanism to meet the personalized needs of customers for less ice or more ice.
[0046] The filling machine 30 is generally connected to a plurality of storage tanks, and each storage tank stores a single type of drink raw material. For example, it can be coffee extract, milk shake, milk, black tea, green tea, syrup, various types of fruit juices, etc. The filling machine 30 fills the corresponding drink into the shaker cup 10 according to the customer's order information. In some cases, a mixture of multiple drink raw materials is filled to achieve a unique flavor and taste.
[0047] The heating machine 40 can be heated in various ways. It can directly add hot water, or directly add high-temperature steam. Or, it can heat the drink by means of electric heating.
[0048] The labeling machine 60 is mainly used to attach labels to the disposable cups 100. Generally, it includes a labeling machine structure and a cup dropping structure. The cup dropping structure drops the cups 100 one by one in sequence, and the labeling machine structure then attaches labels that match the customer's order to these cups 100 one by one.
[0049] The purpose of labeling is mainly to provide order information, customer information, production date, etc. of the beverage, so as to ensure that customers can get the beverages they ordered.
[0050] The cup washer 50 generally cleans the shaker 10 by spraying water and rotating. The shaker 10 needs to be cleaned every time after preparing a beverage. The purpose of doing this is on the one hand to ensure that the flavors of different beverages do not mix. On the other hand, it is to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the shaker 10.
[0051] In some specific embodiments, the moving mechanism 70 further includes a second manipulator 730, and the second manipulator 730 is used to transfer the shaker 10 between multiple conveyor belts 710.
[0052] In this embodiment, since the shaker 10 needs to be used cyclically, the fully automatic tea beverage production equipment usually has two parallel conveyor belts 710. At this time, the second manipulator 730 is required to transfer the shaker 10 between different conveyor belts 710.
[0053] In some specific embodiments, the first manipulator 720 is also used to clamp and shake the cup 100.
[0054] In this embodiment, the first manipulator 720 can clamp both the shaker 10 and the cup 100. This is mainly considered that the tea beverage preparation time is relatively long. In order to fully improve the use efficiency of the first manipulator 720, it can be controlled that the first manipulator 720 clamps and shakes the cup 100 so that the beverage in the cup 100 is mixed more evenly, thereby giving customers a better consumption experience.
[0055] In some specific embodiments, the moving mechanism 70 further includes a third manipulator 740, and the third manipulator 740 is used to transfer the cup 100 from the labeling machine 60 to the conveyor belt 710.
[0056] Generally, after the labeling machine 60 labels the cup 100, it will place the cup 100 at a designated position on the labeling machine 60. At this time, the first manipulator 720 pours the beverage in the shaker 10 into the cup 100. Then, the third manipulator 740 transfers the cup 100 filled with beverage to the conveyor belt 710, and the conveyor belt 710 delivers the beverage to the customer.
[0057] In some specific embodiments, the conveyor belt 710 is provided with a first sensing member 7110, and the first sensing member 7110 is used to sense the cup 100.
[0058] In this embodiment, the first sensor 7110 is used to sense the cup 100 that has been filled. At this time, the staff receives the signal from the first sensor 7110, and can directly put a lid on the cup 100 and give it to the customer. Or after the cup 100 is covered by an automatic lid covering device, the customer is reminded to pick up the drink by means of voice broadcast or the like.
[0059] In some specific embodiments, the conveyor belt 710 is further provided with a second sensor 7120, and the second sensor 7120 is used to sense the shaker 10.
[0060] In this embodiment, the second sensor 7120 is used to sense the shaker 10. When the shaker 10 senses that it is at a specific position on a certain conveyor belt, the second manipulator 730 receives the signal information from the second sensor 7120, and thus starts to transfer the shaker 10 to another conveyor belt 710.
[0061] In some specific embodiments, the conveyor belt 710 is provided with a positioning mechanism 7130, and the positioning mechanism 7130 is used to position the shaker 10.
[0062] In this embodiment, the main purpose of the positioning mechanism 7130 is to position the shaker 10 so that the shaker 10 is always at the preset position on the conveyor belt. Only in this way can the first manipulator 720 and the second manipulator 730 accurately find the shaker 10 and transfer the shaker 10.
[0063] At the same time, the ice dropping machine 20, the filling machine 30, and the heating machine 40 also need to be accurately positioned to the shaker 10 so as to complete the production of the beverage.
[0064] In some specific embodiments, the bottom of the frame 80 is further provided with sliding members 810, and the sliding members 810 are used to move the automatic tea drink production equipment.
[0065] The sliding members 810 are usually wheels. Through the sliding members 810, the entire automatic tea drink production equipment can be conveniently transported and the automatic tea drink production equipment can be reasonably placed according to the actual positions of each tea drink store.
[0066] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , and further includes a blender 90, and the blender 90 is used to stir the beverage in the shaker 10.
[0067] In this embodiment, the main function of the blender 90 is to stir the beverage in the shaker 10 so that the beverage in the shaker 10 is fully mixed and uniform.
[0068] In some specific embodiments, the blender 90 is further provided with clamping jaws 910, and the clamping jaws 910 are used to fix the shaker 10 when stirring the beverage in the shaker 10.
[0069] Since violent oscillations will occur during the stirring process, in order to prevent the shaker 10 from being knocked down, the shaker is fixed by the clamping jaw 910 to prevent the shaker 10 from being toppled during the stirring process.
[0070] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.
[0071] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed. However, it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present utility model shall be subject to the appended claims.
