[0036] The repeated use of reference numerals in this specification and the drawings is intended to represent the same or similar features or elements of the present application. Detailed Description of the Invention

[0037] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the specific embodiments shown in the drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention, 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 invention.

[0038] It should be understood that the spatially relative terms, such as "upper", "above", "lower", "below", etc., used herein are for the purpose of facilitating description to describe the relationship of one unit or feature to another unit or feature as shown in the drawings. The spatially relative terms may be intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation other than the orientation shown in the figures.

[0039] The beverage machine in the specific embodiment of the present invention will be described by taking the beverage machine that mixes powder and water to prepare beverages as an example. Refer to Figures 1 to 4As shown, in one embodiment, the beverage machine 100 includes a body frame 20, a motor 25, at least one mixer 30, and a fixing seat 50. The motor 25 is disposed on the body frame 20, and at least one mixer 30 is disposed on the body frame 20 and is in driving connection with the motor 25. The fixing seat 50 is detachably disposed on the body frame 20. Among them, the body frame 20 can be a structure for supporting, installing, or connecting functional components, such as a housing, a support, etc.

[0040] The mixer 30 includes a mixing cylinder 31 for accommodating powder and water. The mixing cylinder 31 defines a mixing chamber 32. The powder to be mixed can fall into the interior of the mixing chamber 32 from an opening above the mixing cylinder 31, and the water to be mixed can be transported into the interior of the mixing chamber 32 through a liquid pipeline 23 communicating with the mixing chamber 32. The mixer 30 further includes a stirring blade 33 disposed in the mixing chamber 32. The motor 25 is used to drive the stirring blade 33 to rotate, so as to stir the mixture in the mixing chamber 32, that is, by driving the stirring blade 33 of the mixer 30 to rotate through the motor 25, the mixing of the powder and the liquid is realized.

[0041] The fixing seat 50 includes an installation opening 51. The mixer 30 is disposed on the body frame 20 along a first direction through the installation opening 51. The first direction is as shown by the arrow F1 in Figure 1 The stirring blade 33 has a rotation axis Y, and the rotation axis Y defines a second direction, which is as shown by the arrow F2 in Figure 1 Among them, the second direction is disposed at an angle to the first direction. The mixer 30 is connected to the body frame 20 through the fixing seat 50, which can simplify the manufacture of the body frame 20, ensure the size of the fixing seat 50, and thus ensure that the mixer 30 can be stably connected to the motor 25 in terms of transmission. The fixing seat 50 can be detached from the body frame 20, which is also convenient for the maintenance of the beverage machine.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first direction is taken as an example of the direction when the user operates the beverage machine, facing and departing from the beverage machine. The direction when the user faces the beverage machine is the front side, and the direction when the user departs from the beverage machine is the rear side; the second direction is taken as an example of the vertical direction, and the directions perpendicular to the second direction and the first direction at the same time are the left and right directions.

[0043] Referring to Figures 4 to 7 , in order to ensure the stable installation of the mixer 30, a first limiting portion 21 and a second limiting portion 22 are provided on the body frame 20, and a first clamping portion 521 and a second clamping portion 502 are provided on the fixing seat 50. The first clamping portion 521 cooperates with the first limiting portion 21 to limit the displacement of the fixing seat 50 relative to the body frame 20 along the first direction; the second clamping portion 502 cooperates with the second limiting portion 22 to limit the displacement of the fixing seat 50 relative to the body frame 20 along the second direction.

[0044] By limiting the connection between the fixed seat 50 and the body frame 20 in two specific directions, it is convenient for the installation and disassembly operations of the fixed seat 50 on the body frame 20, realizing the stable connection between the mixer 30 and the body frame 20, ensuring the stability of the mixer 30 during operation, and at the same time facilitating the installation and disassembly of the mixer 30.

[0045] An operation button 35 is provided on the front side of the mixer 30. The operation button 35 is fixedly connected to a locking block 351. A card slot 24 is provided on the body frame 20. When the mixer 30 is connected to the body frame 20 along the first direction through the installation opening 51, the locking block 351 can extend into the card slot 24 to lock the mixer 30 to the body frame 20 along the first direction. When it is necessary to disassemble the mixer 30, rotate the operation button 35 to disengage the locking block 351 from the card slot 24, and then move forward along the first direction to disassemble the mixer 30.

[0046] Furthermore, the fixed seat 50 includes an operation part 522, and the operation part 522 is linked with the first clamping part 521. The operation part 522 can operably drive the first clamping part 521 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position. From the locked position to the unlocked position, the first clamping part 521 generates a displacement along the second direction. In the locked position, the fixed seat 50 is restricted from moving relative to the body frame 20 along both the first direction and the second direction; in the unlocked position, the first clamping part 521 is disengaged from the first limiting part 21, and the second clamping part 502 is allowed to move along the first direction. The user can control the first clamping part 521 through the operation part 522 to generate a displacement along the second direction, so as to disengage from the cooperation with the first limiting part 21 and release the restriction on the movement of the fixed seat 50 along the first direction. When the second clamping part 502 moves along the first direction, it can disengage from the cooperation with the second limiting part 22, further releasing the restriction on the movement of the fixed seat 50 along the second direction. That is, the cooperation between the first clamping part 521 and the first limiting part 21 is used to realize the limitation of the fixed seat 50 along the front-back direction, and the operation part 522 driving the first clamping part 521 to generate a displacement along the vertical direction can release the limitation on the movement of the fixed seat 50 along the front-back direction. Furthermore, the cooperation between the second clamping part 502 and the second limiting part 22 is used to realize the limitation of the fixed seat 50 along the vertical direction, and the movement of the fixed seat 50 along the front-back direction can release the limitation on the movement of the fixed seat 50 along the vertical direction.

[0047] The user can unlock by a simple operation of the operation part 522, reducing the disassembly difficulty, thus facilitating the free disassembly of the fixed seat 50 from the body frame 20. This linkage structure not only simplifies the disassembly process of the fixed seat 50, but also greatly improves the operation efficiency of the machine, facilitating the daily cleaning and maintenance of the user.

[0048] In addition, along the first direction, the first engaging portion 521 and the second engaging portion 502 are adjacently disposed at one end of the fixed seat 50, and the operating portion 522 is disposed at the other end of the fixed seat 50. That is, both the first engaging portion 521 and the second engaging portion 502 are disposed at one end of the fixed seat 50, and the first engaging portion 521 and the second engaging portion 502 are adjacently disposed. The adjacent arrangement of the first engaging portion 521 and the second engaging portion 502 can ensure the reliable installation of the fixed seat 50 on the body frame 20, and the structure of the fixed seat 50 is compact. The position of the operating portion 522 is spaced apart from that of the two engaging portions, improving the operating feel and making the disassembly and installation of the fixed seat 50 more convenient.

[0049] Two second engaging portions 502 may be provided, which are spaced on the left and right sides of the first engaging portion 521, and correspondingly, two second limiting portions 22 are also provided, which are spaced on both sides of the first limiting portion 21. Such an arrangement can make the connection between the fixed seat 50 and the body frame 20 more stable and reliable.

[0050] Referring to Figure 5 , a movable arm 52 and a reset element 53 are provided on the fixed seat 50. The first engaging portion 521 is disposed at one end of the movable arm 52, and the operating portion 522 is disposed at the other end of the movable arm 52. Along the direction of the first engaging portion 521 towards the locking position, the reset element 53 presses against the movable arm 52. The direction towards the locking position refers to the vertical direction. For example, the reset element 53 is disposed above the movable arm 52. After the user releases the operating portion 522, the movable arm 52 can drive the first engaging portion 521 to automatically reset, ensuring that the fixed seat 50 can be easily reinstalled after disassembly, which increases the convenience of operation and the fixing reliability of the fixed seat 50, and avoids the trouble of manual reset.

[0051] Specifically, the movable arm 52 is generally in an "L" shape. The operating portion 522 extends backward along the first direction at one end of the movable arm 52 and protrudes from above the fixed seat 50 for easy operation. The first engaging portion 521 protrudes downward along the second direction at the other end of the movable arm 52 to engage with the first limiting portion 21 on the fixed seat 50, thereby restricting the movement of the fixed seat 50 along the first direction to lock the fixed seat 50 on the body frame 20. Pivot shafts 54 are respectively disposed on both sides of the middle of the movable arm 52, and pivot holes (not shown in the figure) are correspondingly provided on the fixed seat 50. Thus, when the operating portion 522 is pressed, the first engaging portion 521 can rotate upward to release the limit with the bottom surface 27 of the body frame 20 below the fixed seat 50, realizing the unlocking of the fixed seat 50. When assembling the fixed seat 50, it can be directly pushed backward. When it reaches the fixed position, the first engaging portion 521 will automatically snap into the first limiting portion 21 under the action of the reset element 53 to achieve fixation, and the operation is very convenient.

[0052] In order to further improve the connection stability of the fixing base 50, a positioning portion 56 is provided on one side of the fixing base 50 facing the body frame 20, and a mounting rib 26 is provided on one side of the body frame 20 facing the fixing base 50. The positioning portion 56 can be configured as a groove, and the mounting rib 26 can be configured as a convex rib or a convex post. The cooperation between the positioning portion 56 and the mounting rib 26 further limits the position of the fixing base 50 on the body frame 20, ensures the precise cooperation between the mixer 30 and the body frame 20, thereby improving the stability and safety of the mixer 30 during operation, and avoiding displacement problems caused by improper installation. In addition, along the first direction, the positioning portion 56 is arranged in a staggered manner with the second clamping portion 502, and along the second direction, the positioning portion 56 is also arranged in a staggered manner with the second clamping portion 502. The fixing base 50 can be limited at different positions with the body frame 20, further preventing the position of the fixing base 50 from shifting, and ensuring a more reliable connection of the fixing base 50 on the body frame 20.

[0053] In some embodiments, the beverage machine 100 includes two mixers 30, namely a first mixer 30a and a second mixer 30b. Both the operation portion 522 and the first clamping portion 521 are provided between the first mixer 30a and the second mixer 30b. Along the first direction, the fixing base 50 includes a first side where the mounting opening 51 is provided and an opposite second side, that is, the front side and the rear side of the fixing base 50. The first clamping portion 521 is provided adjacent to the first side, and the operation portion 522 is provided adjacent to the second side. With this layout, the first mixer 30a and the second mixer 30b can be arranged compactly in a limited space and connected to the same fixing base 50, which helps to save space, ensures the stability of the device, and is convenient for the user to operate. In addition, relative to the direction in which the user faces the beverage machine 100 when disassembling the fixing base 50, the operation portion 522 is arranged at a distal position relative to the first clamping portion 521. The user can hold the fixing base 50 more conveniently and reliably, thereby improving the operation efficiency of disassembling the fixing base 50, and reducing the probability of accidental operation when the operation portion 522 is arranged at the proximal end.

[0054] The fixing base 50 further includes a cavity 55, which is located between the first mixer 30a and the second mixer 30b. The movable arm 52 is pivotally connected within the cavity 55. Along the second direction, the cavity 55 has a bottom opening 551 located below the fixing base 50. A part of the first clamping portion 521 extends out of the bottom opening 551, and the operating portion 522 is exposed from above the fixing base 50. Through this design, users can easily operate and more conveniently complete the disassembly and installation of the fixing base 50. The design of the cavity 55 provides a hidden installation space for the movable arm 52, and at the same time provides pivotal support and fixation. The movable arm 52 has sufficient space for pivoting, causing the first clamping portion 521 to generate a displacement along the second direction, making the operation more labor-saving, and further optimizing the installation and disassembly of the fixing base 50 on the body frame 20.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first clamping portion 521 generates a displacement along the second direction based on the pivoting of the movable arm 52. In other embodiments, the first clamping portion 521 can also directly move along the second direction, or move or rotate along other directions, as long as it can generate a displacement along the second direction.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first limiting portion 21 is configured as a groove, and the body frame 20 has a bottom surface portion 27 provided with the groove. The first clamping portion 521 is inserted into the groove along the second direction; the second limiting portion 22 is configured as a rib beside the groove, the rib protrudes towards the first direction, and a limiting groove 225 is formed between the rib and the bottom surface portion 27. The second clamping portion 502 is configured as a block protruding from the side wall edge of the cavity 55, and the block is inserted into the limiting groove 225 along the first direction. The design of the specific limiting structure between the fixing base 50 and the body frame 20 enables the fixing base 50 to achieve the automatic cooperation of the first clamping portion 521 and the first limiting portion 21, and the automatic cooperation of the second clamping portion 502 and the second limiting portion 22 only by moving along the bottom surface portion 27 of the body frame 20. Applying force to the operating portion 522 to overcome the acting force of the reset element 53, the first clamping portion 521 is disengaged from the first limiting portion 21, and moving the fixing base 50 along the bottom surface portion 27 of the body frame 20 can disengage the second clamping portion 502 from the second limiting portion 22.

[0057] Among them, the reset element 53 can be configured as a compression spring, and the compression spring is arranged within the cavity 55 and located between the fixing base 50 and the movable arm 52. When pressing down the operating portion 522, the first clamping portion 521 pivots upward to compress the compression spring, so that when the operating portion 522 is released, the first clamping portion 521 can be reset under the elastic force of the compression spring. In this way, when installing the fixing base 50, it can be directly pushed backward along the first direction. When reaching the fixed position, the first clamping portion 521 will automatically enter the groove under the action of the compression spring to achieve fixation, and the installation is very convenient.

[0058] In addition, a first mounting post 524 and a second mounting post 504 are respectively provided on the movable arm 52 and the fixed seat 50. The two ends of the compression spring can be respectively sleeved on the first mounting post 524 and the second mounting post 504, facilitating the installation of the compression spring and preventing the compression spring from deviating during the disassembly and installation of the fixed seat 50.

[0059] In addition, the beverage machine 100 generates steam during operation. If this steam is not properly handled, it may enter the powder box, causing the powder to become damp and caked, affecting the quality and hygiene of the beverage.

[0060] In some other embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 8 , the mixer 30 includes a mixing cylinder 31 which defines a mixing chamber 32. A steam guiding structure 60 is provided on the body frame 20. The steam guiding structure 60 includes a steam channel communicating with the mixing chamber 32. In this steam channel, a first partition 611 and a second partition 612 are spaced apart, and a filtering element 63 is provided between the first partition 611 and the second partition 612. A flow gap 630 is formed between the first partition 611 and the filtering element 63. The first partition 611 is provided with an inlet 603 facing the filtering element 63, and the second partition 612 is provided with an outlet 604. The inlet 603 and the outlet 604 define the flow path of the steam entering the steam guiding structure 60. The downstream of the steam guiding structure 60 can be connected to a suction device to ensure the discharge of the steam. By setting the flow gap 630, that is, the space volume between the first partition 611 and the second partition 612 is larger than the volume of the filtering element 63, in this way, after the steam from the mixing chamber 32 enters the steam guiding structure 60, it can enter the flow gap 630 from the inlet 603 along the Figure 8 direction indicated by the arrow in

[0061] The powder particles can be blocked by the filtering element 63, and a part of the steam can be condensed. The filtered steam is discharged from the outlet 604. Setting the flow gap 630 facilitates the flow of the steam, allowing the steam to have a larger contact area with the filtering element 63. When the steam passes through the filtering element 63, it is condensed and filtered, reducing the risk of the condensed water flowing out of the steam guiding structure 60. At the same time, it prevents the steam from entering the powder box, thereby preventing the powder from becoming damp and caked and improving the hygiene standard of the equipment.

[0061] In addition, by providing the first partition 611, the second partition 612 and the filtering element 63 in the steam channel of the mixer 30, the flow path and the condensation effect of the steam are optimized, reducing the possibility of the steam entering the powder box and solving the problem of the powder becoming damp and caked caused by the steam. The filtering element 63 can prevent the powder particles from passing through, preventing the powder particles from being sucked away and entering the pipeline of the suction device, thereby effectively preventing the powder particles from blocking the pipeline. At the same time, when the powder particles are adsorbed on the filtering element 63, it is also convenient for disassembly, cleaning or replacement.

[0062] In some embodiments, the specific structure of the steam guiding structure 60 may include: the horizontal position of the outflow port 604 is higher than the horizontal position of the inflow port 603. Through the configuration of the height difference between the inflow port 603 and the outflow port 604, the steam can rise again to be more condensed. The powder particles can be blocked by the relatively lower part of the filter element 63, while the steam flows out from the relatively higher part. While optimizing the condensation effect of the steam and the flow path, the service life of the filter element 63 is improved, and the reliability and hygiene condition of the beverage machine 100 are enhanced.

[0063] In some embodiments, the specific structure of the steam guiding structure 60 may further include: along the left - right direction, the positions of the outflow port 604 and the inflow port 603 are staggered. Through the staggered configuration of the positions of the inflow port 603 and the outflow port 604 in the left - right direction, the position where the filter element 63 contacts and blocks most of the powder particles is staggered from the position where the steam passes through, which can improve the efficiency of steam discharge, delay the steam counter - flow caused by the blockage of the filter element 63 by the powder particles, and can extend the service life of the filter element 63.

[0064] In some embodiments, the specific structure of the steam guiding structure 60 may further include: the filter element 63 is attached to the second partition 612. The second partition 612 can provide support for the filter element 63, and more steam can be condensed, ensuring that the steam passing through the filter element 63 can only be discharged from the outflow port 604 on the second partition 612.

[0065] In some embodiments, the specific structure of the steam guiding structure 60 may further include: the filter element 63 is configured as a sponge, and the sponge is connected to the second partition 612. Using a sponge to filter steam has high air permeability, good adsorption capacity, low cost, and is convenient for fixing and replacing in the steam channel. The sponge can directly abut against the second partition 612. In this embodiment, the second partition 612 is provided with fixing ribs 613 extending towards the first partition 611, and the sponge is stuck on the fixing ribs 613, with a simple structure and convenient installation and disassembly.

[0066] In some embodiments, the specific structure of the steam guiding structure 60 may further include: the steam guiding structure 60 includes a steam inlet 601 and a steam outlet 602, and the horizontal positions of both the steam inlet 601 and the steam outlet 602 are higher than the horizontal position of the inflow port 603. Through the configuration of the height difference between the steam inlet 601 and the inflow port 603 and the configuration of the height difference between the steam outlet 602 and the inflow port 603, the steam can descend and ascend multiple times to be more condensed, further optimizing the condensation effect of the steam and the flow path.

[0067] Refer to Figure 9, in some embodiments, the specific structure of the steam guiding structure 60 may further include: the steam guiding structure 60 includes a steam inlet 601 facing the first partition 611, and the distance L1 between the steam inlet 601 and the first partition 611 is greater than the distance L2 between the first partition 611 and the filter element 63. As the steam enters from the steam inlet 601, the distance from the point where the steam collides with the first partition 611 to the point where the steam collides with the filter element 63 again decreases, which can assist in accelerating the condensation of the steam.

[0068] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 9 , in some embodiments, the specific structure of the steam guiding structure 60 may further include: the steam guiding structure 60 includes a steam inlet 601 facing the first partition 611, and an overflow port 64 is provided in the steam guiding structure 60. The overflow port 64 is located between the steam inlet 601 and the first partition 611, and the body frame 20 is provided with a drainage channel 28. The overflow port 64 communicates with the drainage channel 28. The provision of the overflow port 64 in the steam guiding structure 60 can prevent the condensate from flowing back, and can also be used to guide the liquid inside the channel housing 62 to flow out. Especially when the mixer 30 is blocked, the water in the mixer 30 will enter the inside of the channel housing 62 along the steam guiding structure 60. Therefore, it can be discharged into the waste water tray through the overflow port 64, and water accumulation inside the channel housing 62 will not occur.

[0069] The overflow port 64 is located between the steam inlet 601 and the first partition 611, and discharges the condensate through the drainage channel 28, improving the reliability and hygiene of the beverage machine. Among them, the drainage channel 28 is in an "L" shape, including a vertical portion 281 extending along the second direction and cooperating with the overflow port 64 of the channel housing 62, and a horizontal portion 282 extending forward from the vertical portion 281. The drainage channel 28 can extend downward from the overflow port 64, and then extend forward from the rear side to the front side in the direction corresponding to the first limiting portion 21 to communicate with the waste water tray of the beverage machine 100. Thus, the liquid inside the channel housing 62 first passes through the vertical portion 281 of the drainage channel 28, and then enters the waste water tray through the horizontal portion 282 of the drainage channel 28. The arrangement of the drainage channel 28 can make full use of the space of the body frame 20, making the beverage machine 100 more compact.

[0070] Continuing to refer to Figure 8 and Figure 10, the steam guiding structure 60 further includes a channel housing 62 and an upper cover 61. The channel housing 62 has an upper opening 621, and the upper cover 61 covers the upper opening 621 and is detachably connected to the channel housing 62. A steam inlet 601 is provided on the front side of the channel housing 62, and the steam inlet 601 communicates with the mixing chamber 32, so as to conveniently draw away the steam in the mixing cylinder 31. The channel housing 62 and the upper cover 61 jointly define a steam channel. A first partition 611 and a second partition 612 are both provided on the upper cover 61, and a filter element 63 is also connected to the upper cover 61. The design of the upper cover 61 not only facilitates installation and disassembly, but also effectively prevents steam from diffusing to other components. The filter element 63 is also provided on the upper cover 61. Disassembling the upper cover 61 can not only facilitate the replacement of the filter element 63, but also the upper cover 61 is simple to manufacture and has a low cost. By cooperating the channel housing 62 and the upper cover 61 to define the steam channel, a reasonable design and optimization of the steam path are achieved, which facilitates the cleaning and maintenance of the steam guiding structure 60, and at the same time improves the overall structural compactness and operating efficiency of the beverage machine 100. In addition, the channel housing 62 can be detachably connected to the body frame 20, making the disassembly of the entire steam guiding structure 60 convenient and conducive to cleaning.

[0071] In addition, a relief recess 622 is provided on the outside of the channel housing 62. The relief recess 622 passes through the channel housing 62 along a first direction. A liquid pipeline 23 is provided on the body frame 20. The liquid pipeline 23 communicates with the mixing chamber 32 and is received in the relief recess 622. The relief recess 622 forms a protrusion 623 inside the channel housing 62. A third partition 615 is further provided on the upper cover 61. The third partition 615 is located on the side of the first partition 611 away from the second partition 612. The third partition 615 engages with the protrusion 623 to limit the communication between the inflow port 603 and the space above the protrusion 623. The inflow port 603 and the outflow port 604 are misaligned with respect to the third partition 615, and the outflow port 604 is located above the protrusion 623. A relief hole 625 is further provided on the front side of the channel housing 62 to facilitate the docking of the liquid pipeline 23 with the mixer 30, so as to supply water to the mixer 30 to stir the powder material to form a beverage.

[0072] By providing the protrusion 623 and the third partition 615 in the channel housing 62, while making way for the liquid pipeline 23, the spatial configuration of the steam guiding structure 60 is further optimized, saving space, ensuring the smoothness of the steam path and the condensation effect, preventing liquid accumulation, and improving the operation reliability and durability of the beverage machine.

[0073] Further, the beverage machine 100 includes a first mixer 30a and a second mixer 30b. Along the arrangement direction of the first mixer 30a and the second mixer 30b, the inlet 603 and the outlet 604 are arranged in a staggered manner. Among them, the convex portion 623 includes a first convex portion 623a and a second convex portion 623b. The first convex portion 623a and the second convex portion 623b are respectively used for making way for the liquid pipelines 23 of the first mixer 30a and the second mixer 30b.

[0074] In some embodiments, the first convex portion 623a is located in the middle of the steam guiding structure 60, for example, along the arrangement direction of the first mixer 30a and the second mixer 30b. The third partition 615 is joined to the first convex portion 623a. The filter element 63 is provided with a notch 631, and the notch 631 is stuck on the first convex portion 623a. The inlet 603 includes a first inlet 603a and a second inlet 603b respectively corresponding to the first mixer 30a and the second mixer 30b. The outlet 604 is located above the first convex portion 623a. Through this design, the position of the outlet 604 is between the two mixers 30a and 30b. The first inlet 603a and the second inlet 603b are respectively communicated with the first mixer 30a and the second mixer 30b, so that the path of the steam first passes under the filter element 63, then moves upward in the flow gap 630, then moves horizontally, and finally is discharged through the outlet 604. The steam flow paths of the first mixer 30a and the second mixer 30b are basically the same, ensuring the same suction effect, ensuring the smooth flow of the steam, preventing problems such as steam backflow during the operation of the beverage machine, and thus improving the operation efficiency and hygiene level of the beverage machine.

[0075] Specifically, a plurality of third partitions 615 can be provided. The third partitions 615 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first convex portion 623a along the left-right direction, and a third partition 615 is arranged on one side of the second convex portion 623b, so that the steam flow paths corresponding to the first mixer 30a and the second mixer 30b are basically the same, ensuring the same suction effect. In addition, the second convex portion 623b can be arranged on one side of the channel housing 62.

[0076] In some embodiments, a fourth partition 616 and a fifth partition 617 are provided on the upper cover 61. The fourth partition 616 is disposed on a side of the second partition 612 away from the first partition 611. The fourth partition 616 engages with the first protrusion 623a to restrict the communication between the space corresponding to the rear side of the first inlet 603a of the second partition 612 and the space above the protrusion 623. The fifth partition 617 extends along the second partition 612 above the second protrusion 623b to separate the space above the second protrusion 623b from the steam outlet 602 of the steam guiding structure 60, ensuring that the suction force acts completely on the two mixers 30a and 30b. By restricting the steam flow path through the third partition 615, the fourth partition 616, and the fifth partition 617, the steam moves along the designed path, ensuring that the moving path is relatively long and the steam can be condensed as much as possible.

[0077] In some embodiments, based on the structure and positional relationship of the foregoing first protrusion 623a, the third partition 615, the filter element 63, and the inlet 603, a fourth partition and a fifth partition can be provided simultaneously.

[0078] The steam channels corresponding to multiple mixers formed by the cooperation of the upper cover 61 and the channel housing 62 are designed more compactly and efficiently, enabling the optimized configuration of multiple functional modules within a limited space and being applicable to various commercial scenarios.

[0079] Through the above design, the present utility model realizes the convenient disassembly and assembly, stable installation, and efficient steam management of the mixer 30 and the fixed seat 50, effectively preventing the problems of powder dampness and beverage machine contamination, and greatly improving the use efficiency of the beverage machine and the quality of beverages.
