The implementation of the multifunctional tea drinker in the utility model can meet the purpose of consumers' diverse needs for tea drinks.

[0036] For tea machines, the temperature of hot drinks is generally only slightly above room temperature, or completely equivalent to room temperature. Therefore, the second storage barrel is usually an insulated barrel, used to keep some beverages warm. The second storage barrel 310 generally contains teas, such as oolong tea, black tea, green tea, Pu'er tea, etc. These teas are generally boiled before being canned in the second storage barrel 310 to keep them warm.

[0037] Generally speaking, a tea machine also includes a control unit and a control panel. Pumps are used to pump beverages from the first storage tank to the first discharge port 230, from the second storage tank 310 to the second discharge port 320, and from the washing tank 420 to the washing outlet. The pumps are controlled by the control unit. A staff member inputs signals to the control unit via the control panel, which in turn controls the corresponding pumps to dispense the corresponding beverages.

[0038] Generally speaking, the refrigeration mechanism is a compressor, which transfers heat and keeps the first storage barrel in a refrigerated state.

[0039] Generally speaking, the head of the first discharge port 230 is also connected to the refrigeration area to ensure that the temperature of the beverage is not too high before it flows out. The head generally includes a pump and a hose connecting the first discharge port 230 and the first storage barrel 220, etc.

[0040] In some specific embodiments, the rack 10 includes a first refrigerated area 110 and a second refrigerated area 120 , which are used to store a plurality of second storage barrels, and the temperatures of the first refrigerated area 110 and the second refrigerated area 120 are different.

[0041] In this embodiment, some beverages need to be stored at different temperatures. Freshly squeezed juices and cream, in particular, typically require lower temperatures to prevent spoilage. Coffee, black tea, and green tea, however, do not require very low temperatures. Conversely, coffee and tea cannot be stored too low, otherwise the flavor of the beverages will not be fully released. The first refrigerated area 110 and the second refrigerated area 120 can be used to store different beverages.

[0042] In addition, in order to ensure that the beverage remains at a low temperature when flowing out of the first discharge port 230 , the area between the first discharge port 230 and the first storage barrel 220 is usually located in the first refrigerated area 110 or the second refrigerated area 120 .

[0043] It should be noted that the first refrigerated area 110 and the second refrigerated area 120 can use the same refrigeration system, and the same refrigeration system has different refrigeration effects in the first refrigerated area 110 and the second refrigerated area 120, that is, the refrigeration temperatures in the first refrigerated area 110 and the second refrigerated area 120 are different.

[0044] In some specific embodiments, a supporting plate 60 is further included. The supporting plate 60 is movably disposed on the frame 10 and is used to support multiple first material storage barrels 220. The supporting plate 60 can slide relative to the frame 10 to move the first material storage barrels 220 out of the frame 10.

[0045] In this embodiment, the supporting plate 60 is mainly used to support the first material storage barrel 220. Each supporting plate 60 can be used to place multiple first material storage barrels 220, so that the staff can easily replace the first material storage barrel 220.

[0046] In some specific embodiments, a handle 610 is further provided on the carrying plate 60 .

[0047] The handle 610 can facilitate the staff to carry the entire carrying plate 60, thereby realizing batch replacement of the first storage barrel 220 or the washing barrel 420.

[0048] In some specific embodiments, a plurality of first material storage barrels 220 share one first material outlet 230 .

[0049] Since the first discharge port 230 needs to be kept at a low temperature as much as possible, multiple first storage barrels 220 share one first discharge port 230 to ensure that the beverage is kept refrigerated as much as possible.

[0050] In some specific embodiments, there are multiple washing buckets 420, at least two of which contain different detergents, and each washing bucket 420 is connected to the washing water outlet.

[0051] The types of food detergents mainly include:

[0052] Alkaline detergents are commonly used to remove grease and stubborn stains, but you need to ensure they are thoroughly rinsed after cleaning to avoid residue that affects food safety.

[0053] Acidic detergents are sometimes used for specific types of cleaning tasks, such as removing mineral deposits.

[0054] Neutral detergent with a near-neutral pH value, suitable for cleaning sensitive surfaces and materials.

[0055] Chlorine-containing detergents have a disinfecting effect and are commonly used for disinfection and cleaning in the catering industry and food processing sites.

[0056] Enzyme-based detergents contain specific enzymes that break down proteins and other organic stains.

[0057] Biodegradable detergents are easily biodegradable and have less impact on the environment.

[0058] When choosing a food detergent, consider its safety, cleaning ability, compatibility with other materials, and ease of rinsing. Also, follow the product label instructions to ensure proper use and food safety. Therefore, different detergents can be provided for different beverages to achieve optimal cleaning results.

[0059] In some specific embodiments, the frame 10 is further provided with a plurality of material grids 130 for placing materials.

[0060] Some milk tea drinks usually contain some solid ingredients, such as pearls, coconut flakes, red beans, raisins, etc. The material grid 130 can hold various materials, so that the staff can add auxiliary materials according to the needs of consumers.

[0061] Generally speaking, the material grid 130 can be separated from the table of the frame 10, so as to facilitate the staff to add the corresponding auxiliary materials.

[0062] In some specific embodiments, a heating module 70 and a sugar bowl 50 are further included. The sugar bowl 50 is used to hold syrup, and the heating module 70 is used to heat the sugar bowl 50.

[0063] In tea beverages, sweetness is often adjusted using syrups. Common syrups include fructose syrup, sucrose syrup, or a mixture of these in a specific ratio. Syrups must be maintained above a certain temperature to achieve a slurry state; otherwise, they solidify. The heating module 70 heats the sugar basin 50, maintaining the syrup in a slurry state.

[0064] Generally, the heating module 70 and the sugar bowl 50 are integrated, so that the sugar bowl 50 can be easily cleaned and moved.

[0065] In some specific embodiments, the frame 10 further includes a water collecting tank 140 , and a sewage hole 1410 for outputting sewage is provided at the bottom of the water collecting tank 140 .

[0066] In the present invention, the sump 140 is mainly used for washing and cleaning. For example, the staff can use it to wash hands, clean the table of the frame 10, clean mugs, etc., and the sewage after cleaning can flow out from the drainage hole 1410 at the bottom of the sump 140.

[0067] In some specific embodiments, the frame 10 further includes a storage cavity 150 . A support rod 1510 is provided on the inner wall of the storage cavity 150 . The support rod 1510 is used to support the washing tub 420 .

[0068] The support rod 1510 in the storage cavity 150 allows multiple materials to be suspended and stacked. The support rod 1510 can be set in various forms and can be set on one of the inner walls of the storage cavity 150, or between two inner walls.

[0069] It should be noted that the bottom of the frame 10 is generally provided with sliding parts, usually wheels, so as to facilitate the movement of the multifunctional tea drinking machine in the present invention.

[0070] In all of the above embodiments, the connection between the first material storage tank 220 and the first material outlet 230, as well as between the washing tank 420 and the washing water outlet, is achieved through a hose. The hose can be connected by a rotary connection. Preferably, a light indicator can be provided on the hose to indicate that the connection is complete.

[0071] Specifically, the connection points of the hose are fixed by rotation, and when the hose is rotated and installed in place, the indicator light lights up.

[0072] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0073] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
