[0002] With the acceleration of the modern life rhythm and the continuous improvement of consumers' requirements for the quality of drinks, as a drink integrating traditional tea culture and modern fashion elements, tea drinks have been widely welcomed and loved globally in recent years. Therefore, the tea drink market has expanded rapidly, with a wide variety of products, and also pays attention to the integration of personalization and health concepts, meeting the taste needs of different consumers.
[0003] In the process of making tea drinks, a tea cylinder is needed for boiling, brewing or cooling tea, and the inside of the tea cylinder needs to be stirred to improve the quality of the tea soup. When making different types of tea soup, the tea cylinder needs to be cleaned to avoid the problem of flavor mixing. In traditional milk tea shops, the stirring and cleaning of the tea cylinder are generally carried out manually, which is time-consuming and laborious, affecting work efficiency. And because hot water is involved in boiling and brewing tea, manual operation is prone to safety problems such as scalding. At the same time, manual operation is related to the skill proficiency of the staff, and the stability of the stirring and cleaning work is poor, making it difficult to achieve standardization and easily affecting the taste quality of tea drinks.
[0004] Although some electric stirring technologies have emerged in the market, which have reduced the burden of manual stirring to a certain extent and improved the stirring efficiency, there are still many deficiencies in actual applications. Specifically, these devices often design the stirring and cleaning functions as two independent mechanisms. When in use, it is necessary to frequently replace or adjust the device components, which is not only cumbersome to operate, increasing the complexity and cost of device maintenance, but also may cause interruptions in the production process, affecting the overall production efficiency. In addition, the complex structure design also increases the volume and weight of the device, which is not conducive to flexible layout and use in a limited space. Summary of the Utility Model

[0034] See Figures 1 to 2 , this utility model provides a device with both cleaning and stirring functions, which is used for stirring and cleaning an open container 4. It includes a working mechanism 1, an operating mechanism 2 and a control mechanism. The working mechanism 1 includes a stirring and cleaning working block 11 and a water inlet connecting pipe 12. The water inlet connecting pipe 12 is connected to the operating mechanism 2. There is a water inlet inner channel in the water inlet connecting pipe 12. The stirring and cleaning working block 11 is fixed to the water inlet connecting pipe 12, and a water spraying port 111 communicating with the inner hole of the water inlet connecting pipe 12 is provided on the stirring and cleaning working block 11; the operating mechanism 2 can drive the working mechanism 1 into the open container 4, and the control mechanism is controllably connected to the operating mechanism 2.
[0035] The device with both cleaning and stirring functions of this utility model can be used for stirring and cleaning work of open containers 4 such as tea mugs. When in use, the upper end of the water inlet connecting pipe 12 is connected to a cleaning water supply device. When stirring is required, the operating mechanism 2 drives the working mechanism 1 to move, and the stirring and cleaning working block 11 enters the open container 4. When the stirring and cleaning working block 11 moves in the open container 4, it can stir the liquid in the open container 4. After the previous stirring work is completed and the liquid in the open container 4 is emptied, when the open container 4 needs to be cleaned, the stirring and cleaning working block 11 is located in the open container 4. The cleaning water supply device provides cleaning water to the water inlet inner channel of the water inlet connecting pipe 12, and the cleaning water sprays out from the water spraying port 111 to wash the inside of the open container 4. During the water flushing process, the stirring and cleaning working block 11 can also move to different positions to wash different positions inside the open container 4. When there is a certain amount of cleaning water in the open container 4, it can clean the stirring and cleaning working block 11 and the water inlet connecting pipe 12 at the same time, and clean the liquid remaining from the previous stirring on them, so as to avoid affecting the next stirring. The device with both cleaning and stirring functions of this utility model can be used for stirring and cleaning the tea soup during the production of milk tea, and can also be used in other similar occasions that require stirring and cleaning.
[0036] In this embodiment, as a preferred design, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , it further includes a baffle 3. The operating mechanism 2 is connected to the baffle 3. The baffle 3 can be specifically installed on the working mechanism 1 or the operating mechanism 2. When the working mechanism 1 extends into the open container 4, the baffle 3 can cover the upper opening of the open container 4, playing a certain shielding role to reduce the liquid spillage from the open container 4 during stirring or cleaning work. Preferably, the working mechanism 1 can move up and down relative to the baffle 3. During the stirring or cleaning work process, when the working mechanism 1 moves up and down in the open container 4, the baffle 3 can also remain covering the upper opening of the open container 4.
[0037] In this embodiment, as a preferred design, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the operating mechanism 2 can drive the working mechanism 1 to move up and down linearly. Among them, the operating mechanism 2 includes a moving plate 21, a vertical beam 22, a vertical moving seat 23, and a vertical driving component. The vertical moving seat 23 is installed on the vertical beam 22. The vertical driving component is connected to the vertical moving seat 23 and drives the vertical moving seat 23 to move linearly up and down on the vertical beam 22. The moving plate 21 is installed on the vertical moving seat 23. The working mechanism 1 is installed on the moving plate 21. The vertical moving seat 23 drives the moving plate 21 to move linearly up and down, thereby driving the operating mechanism 2 to move linearly up and down. In this embodiment, the water inlet connecting pipe 12 of the working mechanism 1 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 21. By driving the up and down movement of the stirring and cleaning work block 11 by the operating mechanism 2, the stirring effect can be achieved, and the different height positions in the open container 4 can be rinsed. Therefore, only by setting the operating mechanism 2 as the power part, the stirring and cleaning work can be realized, simplifying the mechanism. In other embodiments, the water inlet connecting pipe 12 can also be connected to the moving plate 21 in a rotatable manner, and the water inlet connecting pipe 12 can be driven to rotate by a motor, so that the stirring and cleaning work block 11 rotates for stirring.
[0038] In this embodiment, since the working mechanism 1 can perform stirring and cleaning simultaneously and only needs to move up and down, the operating mechanism 2 can only drive the working mechanism 1 to move linearly up and down, thereby streamlining the mechanism. In other embodiments, the operating mechanism 2 can also be further provided with a horizontal driving part for driving the working mechanism 1 to move horizontally. Specifically, a motor can be set to drive the horizontal rotation of the moving plate 21, or a horizontal sliding seat can be set to move on a horizontal cross beam to drive the horizontal linear movement of the moving plate 21, so as to adjust the horizontal position of the working mechanism 1 and make the working mechanism 1 leave above the open container 4, facilitating operations such as feeding the open container 4.
[0039] In this embodiment, as an optimized design, a lower dead center detection mechanism may be further provided for positioning detection when the working mechanism 1 moves downward. When the working mechanism 1 moves downward to the lowest position in the open container 4, the lower dead center detection mechanism emits a signal. The control mechanism can automatically control the operating mechanism 2 to stop according to the signal of the lower dead center detection mechanism, so that the working mechanism 1 stops at the lowest position in the open container 4. This lowest position can be reasonably set according to actual needs, so that the working mechanism 1 has a suitable lowest working position during operation, avoiding collision with the bottom of the open container 4. Similarly, an upper stop position for detecting when the working mechanism 1 moves upward and leaves the open container 4 can also be set.
[0040] In the present utility model, the specific structure and quantity of the stirring and cleaning working blocks 11 in the working mechanism 1 can be set according to the structure of the open container 4. Specifically in this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a partition is provided in the open container 4, and the partition divides the inside of the open container 4 into multiple working cavities. There are multiple stirring and cleaning working blocks 11 in the working mechanism 1, and when the working mechanism 1 enters the open container 4, there is a stirring and cleaning working block 11 in each working cavity. Further, the partition in the open container 4 is cylindrical, and when there are multiple partitions, they are coaxially arranged. The formed working cavities are cylindrical or annular. The stirring and cleaning working block 11 is annular, and at least water injection ports 111 are provided on the inner and outer circumferential surfaces, so as to better wash the walls of the working cavities. Water injection ports 111 can also be provided on the upper and lower end surfaces of the stirring and cleaning working block 11.
[0041] In the present utility model, the control mechanism can adopt an existing structure. Specifically, a PLC controller can be adopted and configured with corresponding electrical components. The control mechanism has functions such as data storage, calculation and analysis, and instruction sending, and can control the device to automatically clean and stir.
[0042] As can be seen from the above, the device of the present utility model with both cleaning and stirring functions has the following beneficial effects:
[0043] It can not only be used to stir the liquid in the open container 4, but also clean the open container 4, and can clean the working mechanism 1 itself while cleaning the open container 4, avoiding mutual influence between two consecutive stirring operations, improving work efficiency, ensuring product quality, greatly simplifying the device structure, and being conveniently applicable to milk tea making equipment or other occasions.
[0044] In summary, the present utility model effectively overcomes various disadvantages in the prior art and has high industrial utilization value.
[0045] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical idea disclosed by the present utility model should still be covered by the claims of the present utility model.
