Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of beverage preparation, and particularly relates to a beverage device. Background Art

[0002] In the existing field of beverage preparation, beverage machines are widely used to mix coffee granules, tea granules, etc. with water at an appropriate temperature to generate beverages for users to drink. For example, automatic coffee machines are widely used in both home and commercial environments.

[0003] During the use of a coffee machine, the temperature of the first cup of coffee is crucial for the user experience. High-quality coffee requires an appropriate temperature to fully exhibit its flavor. However, when the machine has been in the standby state for a period of time (such as when used for the first time in the morning after being turned off at night) or just turned on, since the brewing chamber and the pipeline have cooled down to room temperature, a large amount of heat is lost when the extracted hot water passes through these cooled components, resulting in the temperature of the first cup of coffee not reaching the ideal standard. The temperature of the directly extracted first cup of coffee is often low, especially in winter. This not only makes the user experience poor but also affects the flavor and quality of the coffee.

[0004] To address this problem, some existing coffee machines have introduced a preheating and flushing function, that is, using hot water to flush the pipeline and the brewing chamber before starting extraction. However, this method will waste a large amount of water resources, increase the user's maintenance frequency, and prolong the waiting time for making beverages.

[0005] Therefore, it is particularly necessary to improve the existing technology and propose a new type of beverage device to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0041] The present utility model will be described in detail below in conjunction with the specific embodiments shown in the drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present utility model, and any structural, method, or functional transformation made by those of ordinary skill in the art based on these embodiments is included within the protection scope of the present utility model.

The terms of relative spatial positions may be intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation other than the orientations shown in the figures.

[0043] As used herein, the terms "first", "second", and "third" may be used interchangeably to distinguish one component from another, and these terms are not intended to indicate the position or importance of each component. The terms "upstream" and "downstream" refer to the relative direction with respect to the fluid flow in the fluid passage. For example, "upstream" refers to the direction from which the fluid flows, and "downstream" refers to the direction to which the fluid flows.

[0044] In the specific embodiment of the present utility model, the beverage device, such as a coffee machine, correspondingly, the beverage particles may be coffee particles.

[0045] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the beverage device 100 includes a brewer 20, a beverage outlet 30, a heater 40, a first pipeline 51, and a second pipeline 52. The brewer 20 has a brewing chamber for accommodating beverage particles. The output port 21 of the brewer 20 is connected to the beverage outlet 30, and the beverage outlet 30 is used to output the brewed beverage from the brewer 20 into a beverage cup. The heater 40 is used to supply hot water to the brewing chamber. The first pipeline 51 is connected between the heater 40 and the brewer 20, and the first pipeline 51 is used to transport the hot water output by the heater 40 to the brewing chamber. The heater 40 and the brewer 20 are independent of each other and are separated along the first pipeline 51. The second pipeline 52 is connected between the output port 21 and the beverage outlet 30, and the second pipeline 52 is used to transport the brewed beverage from the brewer 20 to the beverage outlet 30. The second pipeline 52 includes a heated section 521, and the heated section 521 is thermally connected to the heater 40.

[0046] Specifically, the second pipeline 52 may be provided in multiple sections, and may include a first non-heated section 522, a heated section 521, and a second non-heated section 523. The heated section 521 may be provided between the first non-heated section 522 and the second non-heated section 523. The first non-heated section 522 is connected between the output port 21 and the heater 40, and the first non-heated section 522 is not thermally connected to the heater 40. The second non-heated section 523 is connected between the heater 40 and the beverage outlet 30, and the second non-heated section 523 is not thermally connected to the heater 40.

[0047] The brewer 20 can be any component used for brewing, extracting, or making beverages. Solid beverage particles can be manually or automatically added to the brewing chamber, mixed with water at a predetermined temperature, or extracted by water at a predetermined temperature to form a liquid beverage, which can then be conveyed from the outlet 21 to the beverage outlet 30. The heater 40 can be an instant heater, a water storage heater, or other types of electric heaters. A water pump 61 is connected upstream of the heater 40, and a water supply source 62 is connected upstream of the water pump 61. The water pump 61 can supply the water from the water supply source 62 to the heater 40. The heater 40 and the brewer 20 are independent of each other, that is, the heater 40 and the brewer 20 are both separate components or assemblies, and the two are separated and have no direct physical connection. Or it can be considered that the heater 40 and the brewer 20 are separately arranged and not integrated into one body. The heater 40 and the brewer 20 are separated along the first pipeline 51, that is, in the physical space, the heater 40 and the brewer 20 are spaced apart along the first pipeline 51, so that the heater 40 and the brewer 20 can be arranged more flexibly.

[0048] The liquid beverage brewed by the brewer 20 can be conveyed from the outlet 21 to the second pipeline 52, and then conveyed to the beverage outlet 30 through the second pipeline 52. The heated section 521 of the second pipeline 52 is thermally connected to the heater 40, and the heat of the heater 40 can be transferred to the heated section 521, thereby reheating or keeping warm the liquid beverage output from the brewer in the second pipeline 52, so as to ensure that the temperature of the liquid beverage output into the cup can reach the ideal standard, meet the user's demand for high-temperature beverages, and improve the drinking experience.

[0049] When the brewer 20 is not used within a preset time, the brewing chamber and the pipeline have cooled down to room temperature. The cooled brewing chamber and pipeline will cause a large amount of heat loss of the liquid beverage, and further make the temperature of the liquid beverage unable to reach the ideal standard. This not only makes the user experience poor, but also affects the flavor and quality of the liquid beverage. To solve this problem, the heated section 521 of the second pipeline 52 is thermally connected to the heater 40, so that the heat of the heater 40 can be transferred to the liquid beverage in the second pipeline 52, thereby raising the temperature of the liquid beverage. In some embodiments, the heater 40 includes a detachable electric hot plate 41 and a heat storage body 42. The electric hot plate 41 is in thermal contact with the heat storage body 42, and the heated section 521 is in thermal contact with the heat storage body 42. By setting the heat storage body 42 in thermal contact with the electric hot plate 41, under the action of heat conduction, the heat storage body 42 can be heated to be basically the same as the electric hot plate 41. Using the heat of the heat storage body 42 can increase the temperature of the liquid beverage in the second pipeline 52. In this way, the temperature of the first cup of liquid beverage is significantly increased, thus improving the user experience.

[0050] Specifically, the electric hot plate 41 and the heat storage body 42 are detachably connected, so that the disassembly, installation, and maintenance of the heated section 521 are convenient.

[0051] Among them, the heat-receiving section 521 is thermally connected between the electric heating plate 41 and the heat storage body 42. At least a part of the heat-receiving section 521 is in thermal contact with the electric heating plate 41, at least a part of the heat-receiving section 521 is in thermal contact with the heat storage body 42, and the heat-receiving section 521 is in thermal contact with both the electric heating plate 41 and the heat storage body 42 at the same time. Under the action of heat conduction, the heat of the electric heating plate 41 and the heat of the heat storage body 42 can both be conducted to the heat-receiving section 521, further optimizing the heat conduction path, making the heat transfer more efficient, and increasing the temperature of the first cup of liquid beverage.

[0052] Continue to refer to Figures 3 to 5 , a first groove 421 is provided on the end surface of the heat storage body 42 facing the electric heating plate 41, a second groove 412 is provided on the end surface of the electric heating plate 41 facing the heat storage body 42, and the first groove 421 and the second groove 412 define a tubular cavity 423 adapted to the shape of the heat-receiving section 521, and the heat-receiving section 521 is accommodated in the tubular cavity 423. Setting the tubular cavity 423 to confine the heat-receiving section 521 therein can increase the contact area between the second pipeline 52 and the electric heating plate 41 and the heat storage body 42, can significantly improve the heat conduction efficiency, and can greatly increase the temperature of the first cup of beverage.

[0053] Among them, at least a part of the heat-receiving section 521 is in surface contact with the electric heating plate 41, and at least a part of the heat-receiving section 521 is in surface contact with the heat storage body 42. The heat-receiving section 521 is in surface contact with both the electric heating plate 41 and the heat storage body 42 at the same time, increasing the heat conduction contact area between the electric heating plate 41 and the heat storage body 42 and the heat-receiving section 521 respectively, increasing the heat-receiving area of the heat-receiving section 521, and then improving the heat exchange effect, so that the heat transfer can be more efficient.

[0054] Furthermore, the electric heating plate 41 includes a cylindrical body, the cylindrical body has a first end surface 413 and a second end surface 414 arranged oppositely along the axis, and the heat storage body 42 is in surface contact with the first end surface 413 or the second end surface 414. Exemplarily, such as Figure 5 , the heat storage body 42 is attached to the first end surface 413 to achieve surface contact between the heat storage body 42 and the first end surface 413. The heat storage body 42 can be in surface contact with the end surface of the electric heating plate 41, with a larger contact area, making more effective use of the heat of the electric heating plate 41, improving the heat conduction efficiency, ensuring that the temperature of the heat storage body 42 is closer to the temperature of the electric heating plate 41, so that more heat can be transferred to the second pipeline 52 faster, so as to increase the temperature of the liquid beverage in the second pipeline 52.

[0055] In some embodiments, the electric heating plate 41 includes a cylindrical body having a central concave cavity 415 defined by a cavity bottom surface 416 and a cavity peripheral surface 417. The heat storage body 42 includes a convex column portion 425, and at least a part of the convex column portion 425 extends into the central concave cavity 415. The cavity bottom surface 416 and the cavity peripheral surface 417 are respectively in surface contact with the convex column portion 425. The design of the central concave cavity 415 of the electric heating plate 41 and the convex column portion 425 of the heat storage body 42 increases the heat contact area, making the contact area for heat conduction larger, ensuring the temperature of the heat storage body 42, and thus improving the stability of the temperature of the first cup of beverage.

[0056] In other embodiments, the heat storage body 42 further includes a rim portion 424. The convex column portion 425 protrudes axially from the middle of the rim portion 424 along the cylindrical body. The rim portion 424 is in surface contact with the end face of the cylindrical body. The heated section 521 is disposed between the rim portion 424 and the end face of the cylindrical body, specifically, the heated section 521 is disposed between the rim portion 424 and the first end face 413 of the cylindrical body. The design of the rim portion 424 and the convex column portion 425 of the heat storage body 42 increases the heat conduction contact area, makes the heat conduction more uniform, optimizes the heat transfer path, and improves the heat efficiency.

[0057] The heated section 521 is disposed around the center of the heater 40, which can shorten the output time of the liquid beverage from the brewer 20 to the beverage outlet 30 and reduce the pipeline length while ensuring a larger heat contact area between the heated section 521 and the heater 40. When the heater 40 includes the electric heating plate 41, the center of the heater 40 is the center of the cylindrical body of the electric heating plate 41, and the heated section 521 can be disposed at a position adjacent to the outer periphery of the cylindrical body.

[0058] Wherein, a heating pipeline is provided on the electric heating plate 41, and the heating pipeline is spirally arranged. The central concave cavity 415 is disposed within the enclosed space of the heating pipeline; as Figure 5 shown, the heating pipeline includes an inner ring pipe 418 and an outer ring pipe 419. The heated section 521 can be concentrically arranged with the heating pipeline, and along the radial direction of the cylindrical body, the position of the heated section 521 generally corresponds to that of the outer ring pipe 419. The arrangement of the heated section 521 enables the liquid beverage in the second pipeline 52 to absorb more heat in the heated section 521 for temperature rise while ensuring that the output time of the liquid beverage will not increase due to the excessive length of the second pipeline 52.

[0059] Specifically, after the heat storage body 42 and the electric heating plate 41 are assembled, the overall space occupancy is not significantly increased. The heating of the heated section 521 by the heat storage body 42 and the electric heating plate 41 does not require additional circuit control, and the cost is low. Refer to Figure 1 and Figures 6 to 8, in another embodiment, the beverage device includes a brewer 20, a beverage outlet 30, a heater 40a, a first pipeline 51, and a second pipeline 52. The brewer 20 has a brewing chamber for accommodating beverage particles. The outlet 21 of the brewer 20 is connected to the beverage outlet 30 for outputting the brewed beverage into a beverage cup. The heater 40a is used to supply hot water to the brewing chamber. The first pipeline 51 is connected between the heater 40a and the brewer 20, and the first pipeline 51 is used to convey the hot water output by the heater 40a to the brewing chamber. The heater 40a and the brewer 20 are independent of each other and are separated along the first pipeline 51. The second pipeline 52 is connected between the outlet 21 and the beverage outlet 30, and the second pipeline 52 is used to convey the beverage brewed by the brewer 20 to the beverage outlet 30. The second pipeline 52 includes a heat-receiving section 521a, and the heat-receiving section 521a is thermally connected to the heater 40a.

[0060] Among them, the heater 40a includes a boiler body 43. The boiler body 43 has a water-containing cavity 431 and a water outlet 432 communicating with the water-containing cavity 431. The heat-receiving section 521a is arranged in the water-containing cavity 431 and is close to the water outlet 432. Specifically, the boiler body 43 also has a water inlet 433 communicating with the water-containing cavity 431. Along the water flow direction in the boiler, the water outlet 432 and the water inlet 433 are oppositely arranged, and the water outlet 432 is arranged downstream of the water inlet 433. Generally, the water inlet 433 is a cold water inlet, and the water outlet 432 is a hot water outlet. By arranging the heat-receiving section 521a of the second pipeline 52 in the water-containing cavity 431 and the heat-receiving section 521a being close to the water outlet 432, the heat conduction efficiency is improved, and the heating effect of the beverage is optimized. The heat-receiving section 521a of the second pipeline 52 can be maintained at a high temperature by the high temperature in the boiler, so that the liquid beverage can absorb heat to increase the temperature of the liquid beverage when passing through the heat-receiving section 521a.

[0061] Among them, the heat-receiving section 521a is arranged around the center of the heater 40a, reducing the pipeline length while ensuring a larger thermal contact area between the heat-receiving section 521a and the heater 40a. When the heater 40a includes a boiler body 43, the boiler body 43 is generally cylindrical, and the center of the heater 40a is the center of the boiler body 43. The heat-receiving section 521a can be arranged at a position close to or in contact with the inner wall of the boiler body 43.

[0062] In some other embodiments, not shown, the heater 40a includes a boiler body 43 and a heat storage body that are detachably connected. The boiler body 43 is in thermal contact with the heat storage body, and the heated section 521a is in thermal contact with the heat storage body. The boiler body 43 is maintained at a high temperature due to heating and storing hot water. The heat storage body is in thermal contact with the boiler body 43, which can be in thermal contact inside the boiler body 43 or outside the boiler body 43, and both can transfer heat to the heated section 521a of the second pipeline 52. When the heat storage body is in thermal contact with the boiler body 43 outside the boiler, the specific setting can be the same as the setting of the electric heating plate 41 and the heat storage body 42 described above.

[0063] Through the connection between the heated section 521a of the second pipeline 52 and the heater 40a, the heat of the heater 40a can be transferred to the second pipeline 52, and then the liquid beverage in the second pipeline 52 can be reheated or kept warm, so as to ensure that the temperature of the liquid beverage output into the cup can reach the ideal standard, meet the user's demand for high-temperature beverages, and improve the drinking experience.

[0064] Refer to Figure 9 To increase the diversity of beverage output, in some embodiments, the beverage device further includes a third pipeline 53 and a switching valve 55 connected downstream of the output port 21. The switching valve 55 includes an inlet 553, a first outlet 551, and a second outlet 552. The inlet 553 is connected to the output port 21, the first outlet 551 is connected to the second pipeline 52, and the third pipeline 53 is connected between the second outlet 552 and the beverage outlet 30. The inlet 553 is selectively communicated with the first outlet 551 or the second outlet 552. When making cold drinks, the inlet 553 of the switching valve 55 is controlled to be communicated with the second outlet 552, and the liquid beverage output from the brewer 20 enters the third pipeline 53 and then is discharged from the beverage outlet 30. When making hot drinks, the inlet 553 of the switching valve 55 is controlled to be communicated with the first outlet 551, and the liquid beverage output from the brewer 20 enters the second pipeline 52 and then is discharged from the beverage outlet 30. By controlling the inlet of the switching valve 55 to be communicated with different outlets, the liquid beverage output from the brewer 20 can enter the second pipeline 52 and then be discharged from the beverage outlet 30, or can enter the third pipeline 53 and then be discharged from the beverage outlet 30, so as to realize the automatic switching between hot drinks and cold drinks and meet the needs of different users.

[0065] To further ensure the temperature of the first cup of beverage, the beverage device further includes a controller. The water pump 61 is electrically connected to the controller. The water pump 61 is arranged upstream of the heater 40 / 40a. The controller is configured to control the water pump 61 to operate in a pulsed manner when the brewer 20 is not used within a preset time, so as to reduce the water flow rate pumped into the heater 40 / 40a, thereby increasing the temperature of the first cup of beverage. Through this design, the flow rate of the liquid beverage passing through the heat storage body 42 can be made as slow as possible, increasing the heat exchange time between the liquid beverage and the heat storage body 42, and effectively solving the problem of low temperature of the first cup of beverage.

[0066] When the water pump 61 operates in a pulsed manner, the pumping flow rate can be reduced. In this way, the time for the liquid beverage in the second pipeline 52 to absorb heat is increased, that is, the heat exchange time between the liquid beverage in the heated section 521 / 521a of the second pipeline 52 and the heat storage body 42 is increased, and further the temperature of the first cup of beverage can be increased. When the water pump 61 operates in a pulsed manner to reduce part of the flow rate, it does not affect the extraction of the beverage, but can increase the duration of the first cup of beverage passing through the heat storage body 42, thereby optimizing the temperature of the first cup. The situation where the brewer 20 is not used within the preset time can be the first cup of beverage when not used for 30 minutes or the first cup of beverage when starting up.

[0067] The aforementioned beverage devices 100, 200 can further satisfy at least one of the following characteristics:

[0068] The heat storage body 42 is an aluminum die-cast heat storage body or a ceramic heat storage body; the heated section 521 / 521a is a stainless steel heated section.

[0069] Both the aluminum die-cast heat storage body and the ceramic heat storage body can efficiently absorb the heat of the heater 40 / 40a and further transfer the heat to the heated section 521 / 521a. The ceramic heat storage body can also limit the heat loss of the heated section 521 / 521a. The heated section 521 / 521a is arranged as a stainless steel heated section, which can improve the heat conduction performance of the heated section 521 / 521a.

[0070] It should be understood that although this specification is described according to the embodiments, not every embodiment only contains an independent technical solution. This narrative way of the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0071] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of the feasible embodiments of the present invention, and they are not used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent embodiments or changes made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
