[0040] It is understandable that current commercial beverage machines usually include a refrigerated room and an ingredient cabinet, and the ingredient cabinet is arranged above the refrigerated room. The refrigerated room is generally equipped with a refrigerated container to refrigerate the liquid materials to prevent the liquid materials from deteriorating. The liquid pipeline is set in the ingredient cabinet, one end of the liquid pipeline is connected to the refrigerated container, and the other end is connected to the liquid outlet pipe of the ingredient cabinet. Under normal circumstances, the ingredient cabinet is at room temperature, and the liquid pipeline is also at room temperature. Since liquid materials need to be stored and transported at low temperatures, the liquid pipeline in a room temperature environment will cause the liquid materials therein to deteriorate, posing a food safety hazard.

[0041] For this, see Figures 1 to 4 , the present application provides a conveying structure 300. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a conveying structure 300 according to an embodiment of the present application viewed from one angle. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The transport structure 300 is shown as a schematic diagram from another angle. Figure 3 for Figure 1 The conveying structure 300 shown is a schematic diagram of a liquid dispensing machine viewed from one angle. Figure 4 for Figure 3 The delivery structure 300 is applied to the liquid dispensing machine ( Figure 3 and Figure 4The entire device shown is a liquid dispenser in a cabinet 10. The liquid dispenser can dispense liquid materials to prepare liquid beverages or liquid-solid mixed beverages. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the liquid dispenser cabinet 10 can also be used in other food material cold storage equipment to achieve refrigerated storage of food materials.

[0042] The conveying structure 300 can convey the cold air in the cold storage chamber 110 to the accommodating cavity 210 of the ingredient cabinet 200, so that the accommodating cavity 210 can borrow the cold air from the cold storage chamber 110. In this way, the cold air in the accommodating cavity 210 can cool the packaging boxes and the pipeline structure 400 in the ingredient cabinet 200, so that the packaging boxes and the pipeline structure 400 are in a refrigerated environment, and the solid materials in the packaging boxes and the liquid materials in the pipeline structure 400 can be stored and transported at low temperatures, thereby avoiding deterioration of the materials and ensuring safety.

[0043] This application only takes the conveying structure 300 applied to the cabinet 10 of the liquid dispensing machine as an example for description. In order to better illustrate the specific structure of the conveying structure 300, the structure of the liquid dispensing machine is briefly introduced here. Figures 3 to 6 The liquid dispenser includes a cabinet 10 and an operating table 50. The operating table 50 is disposed in and connected to the cabinet 10. The cabinet 10 is the main structure of the liquid dispenser. The operating table 50 has a liquid outlet port 501, which is connected to the cabinet 10. The operator controls the operating table 50 to prepare the corresponding beverage. Figure 5 for Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the liquid dispensing machine shown is viewed from another angle. Figure 6 for Figure 5 The liquid dispenser shown is a three-dimensional view without the cover plate 230 and the cabinet door.

[0044] The cabinet 10 stores and refrigerates a refrigerated container 60, which contains liquid materials. When preparing a drink, the cabinet 10 transfers the liquid material from the refrigerated container 60 to a liquid outlet port 501, where it is then dispensed into a beverage cup on the workbench 50. Furthermore, the cabinet 10 is equipped with a dispensing box for storing solid materials. Operators can add solid materials as needed to meet consumer needs.

[0045] The cabinet 10 includes a refrigerator 100, a batching cabinet 200, and a conveying structure 300 in the present application. The refrigerator 100 includes a refrigerator compartment 110 and a refrigeration assembly 120. The refrigeration assembly 120 is arranged on the side of the refrigerator compartment 110, is connected to the refrigerator compartment 110, and delivers cold air to the refrigerator compartment 110. The batching cabinet 200 is arranged above the refrigerator 100. The batching cabinet 200 has a connected accommodating cavity 210 and a storage space 220. The storage space 220 is used to place the packaging boxes. The conveying structure 300 connects the refrigerator compartment 110 and the accommodating cavity 210. The conveying structure 300 is used to deliver the cold air from the refrigerator compartment 110 to the accommodating cavity 210.

[0046] The refrigerator 100 is the main component of the cabinet 10 that provides a refrigerated environment. It houses the refrigerated container 60, which contains liquid materials. This allows the liquid materials to be refrigerated and stored in the refrigerator 100 via the refrigerated container 60. This refrigerated storage of the liquid materials in the refrigerator 100 prevents them from deteriorating at room temperature and ensures their safety. The ingredient cabinet 200 houses the packaging boxes, which are used to hold solid materials.

[0047] The refrigerator 100 includes a refrigerator compartment 110 and a refrigeration assembly 120. The refrigeration assembly 120 is a device for providing cold air and is located on the side of the refrigerator compartment 110. When in operation, the refrigeration assembly 120 generates cold air. The refrigerator compartment 110 is a space for keeping cold, and a refrigerated container 60 is stored in the refrigerator compartment 110 to refrigerate the liquid materials in the refrigerated container 60. The output end of the refrigeration assembly 120 is connected to the refrigerator compartment 110, and the refrigeration assembly 120 can deliver cold air to the refrigerator compartment 110 to cool the refrigerator compartment 110, maintaining a low temperature environment in the refrigerator compartment 110, thereby allowing the refrigerator compartment 110 to refrigerate the liquid materials in the refrigerated container 60.

[0048] The ingredient cabinet 200 is arranged at the rear edge of the top of the refrigeration cabinet 100, and the ingredient cabinet 200 extends upward. Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the ingredient cabinet 200 is hollow, having a hollow receiving cavity 210. The ingredient cabinet 200 also has a storage space 220, which is located above the refrigerator 100 and in front of the ingredient cabinet 200. This allows for the placement of multiple packaging boxes within the storage space 220. When preparing drinks, the operator can remove solid ingredients from the packaging boxes within the storage space 220, facilitating operation.

[0049] See also Figure 3 and Figure 6In one embodiment, the cabinet 10 further includes a piping structure 400 disposed within the accommodating cavity 210. One end of the piping structure 400 passes through the refrigerator 100 and connects to the refrigerated container 60, while the other end of the piping structure 400 connects to the liquid outlet port 501. In this way, the piping structure 400 can extract liquid materials from the refrigerated container 60 and output them through the liquid outlet port 501. Furthermore, the refrigerated compartment 110 can store multiple refrigerated containers 60, each capable of storing different liquid materials. Operators control the piping structure 400 to extract the corresponding liquid materials based on actual consumer demand.

[0050] After the piping structure 400 transports the liquid material, some liquid material will remain in the piping structure 400. Because the piping structure 400 is located within the accommodating chamber 210, the transport structure 300 can transport the cold air from the refrigerating chamber 110 into the accommodating chamber 210. At this point, the cold air in the accommodating chamber 210 can refrigerate the piping structure 400. This means that the liquid material in the piping structure 400 is also kept in a refrigerated environment. This allows for low-temperature storage and transport of the liquid material in the piping structure 400, preventing deterioration and ensuring safety.

[0051] See also Figures 3 to 6 In one embodiment, the batching cabinet 200 includes a main cabinet and a cover plate 230. The cover plate 230 is arranged on the front side of the main cabinet and is surrounded by the main cabinet to form a accommodating cavity 210. The pipeline structure 400 and part of the conveying structure 300 are located in the accommodating cavity 210.

[0052] See also Figure 3 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the piping structure 400 includes a plurality of power pumps 410 and a plurality of liquid outlet pipes 420, which are located in the accommodating chamber 210. The liquid outlet pipe 420 corresponding to each power pump 410 connects the refrigerated container 60 in the refrigerating chamber 110 with the liquid outlet port 501 of the liquid dispenser.

[0053] The power pump 410 is a component of the piping structure 400 that pumps liquid. The power pump 410 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 210. The liquid outlet pipe 420 is located in the accommodating chamber 210 and is routed within the cabinet 10. This eliminates the need for the power pump 410 to be located within the refrigerating chamber 110. This allows the liquid outlet pipe 420 to be cooled while reducing the space occupied by the power pump 410 within the refrigerating chamber 110, thereby improving the space utilization of the accommodating chamber 210.

[0054] One end of the liquid outlet pipe 420 extends into the refrigerated chamber 110 and communicates with the refrigerated container 60. The other end of the liquid outlet pipe 420 extends into the operating table 50 and communicates with the liquid outlet port 501. When the power pump 410 is in operation, the power pump 410 can extract liquid material from the refrigerated container 60 through the liquid outlet pipe 420 and transport it to the liquid outlet port 501 through the liquid outlet pipe 420, and then output the liquid material through the liquid outlet port 501.

[0055] The specific structure of the conveying structure 300 according to one embodiment is introduced below.

[0056] See also Figure 3 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the conveying structure 300 is used to connect the refrigerating chamber 110 of the refrigerator 100 with the accommodating chamber 210 of the ingredient cabinet 200. The accommodating chamber 210 of the ingredient cabinet 200 is connected to the storage space 220, and the conveying structure 300 connects the refrigerating chamber 110 and the accommodating chamber 210. The refrigerating chamber 110 and the accommodating chamber 210 are independently provided, and a connecting passage is established between the refrigerating chamber 110 and the accommodating chamber 210 via the conveying structure 300. The conveying structure 300 can transport cold air from the refrigerating chamber 110 to the accommodating chamber 210, thereby maintaining a refrigerated environment in the accommodating chamber 210.

[0057] In this way, the accommodating chamber 210 can transport cold air into the storage space 220, so that the cold air can refrigerate the packaging boxes and the solid materials therein in the storage space 220. In this way, the solid materials can also be stored in a refrigerated environment, achieving low-temperature storage of the solid materials in a refrigerated environment, preventing the solid materials from deteriorating at room temperature, and ensuring safety.

[0058] Moreover, the accommodating chamber 210 can utilize the cold air from the refrigerating chamber 110 through the conveying structure 300. Without affecting the refrigeration of the refrigerated container 60 in the refrigerating chamber 110, the cold air from the refrigerating chamber 110 is used to refrigerate the piping structure 400 of the accommodating chamber 210 in the batching cabinet 200 and the sub-packaging boxes in the storage space 220. This allows the solid materials in the sub-packaging boxes and the liquid materials in the piping structure 400 to be stored and transported at low temperatures, thus preventing the materials from deteriorating and ensuring safety. Furthermore, there is no need to specifically install refrigeration equipment in the batching cabinet 200 and the accommodating chamber 210. This can greatly reduce the complexity of the structure of the batching cabinet 200 and reduce the production cost of the entire liquid dispensing machine.

[0059] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6In one embodiment, the delivery structure 300 includes an output duct 310 and a fan 320. The output duct 310 is disposed in the accommodating chamber 210, with one end of the output duct 310 extending into the refrigerating chamber 110 and the other end of the output duct 310 located in the accommodating chamber 210. The fan 320 is disposed in the output duct 310 and is used to deliver cold air from the refrigerating chamber 110 to the accommodating chamber 210 via the output duct 310.

[0060] The output duct 310 is the main duct for transporting cold air. One end of the output duct 310 extends into the refrigerating chamber 110, and the other end of the output duct 310 is located in the accommodating chamber 210. Thus, the output duct 310 connects the refrigerating chamber 110 with the accommodating chamber 210. The fan 320 is the power source for the transport structure 300 and is located in the output duct 310. When in operation, the fan 320 generates a suction force, which draws the cold air from the refrigerating chamber 110 into the output duct 310, where it is then transported to the accommodating chamber 210.

[0061] In this way, the cold air in the accommodating chamber 210 can refrigerate the liquid material in the liquid outlet pipe 420. In addition, the accommodating chamber 210 can also transport the cold air to the storage space 220, so that the cold air can refrigerate the packaging boxes and the solid materials therein in the storage space 220. In this way, the liquid and solid materials can be stored in a refrigerated environment, achieving low-temperature storage and transportation of the liquid materials and low-temperature storage of the solid materials, preventing the liquid and solid materials from deteriorating at room temperature and ensuring safety.

[0062] The conveying structure 300 of the above embodiment is connected to the cold storage chamber 110 and the accommodating chamber 210 through the conveying pipe 312, and a fan 320 is arranged in the conveying pipe 312. In this way, the cold air in the cold storage chamber 110 can be transported to the accommodating chamber 210, so that the ingredient cabinet 200 is in a refrigerated environment, that is, the accommodating chamber 210 can borrow the cold air in the cold storage chamber 110. In this way, the cold air in the accommodating chamber 210 can cool the sub-packaging box and the pipeline structure 400 in the ingredient cabinet 200, so that the sub-packaging box and the pipeline structure 400 are in a refrigerated environment, and the solid materials in the sub-packaging box and the liquid materials in the pipeline structure 400 can be stored and transported at low temperatures, thereby avoiding deterioration of the materials and ensuring safety.

[0063] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the output pipe 310 includes an inlet pipe 311 and a delivery pipe 312. The inlet pipe 311 is arranged at one end of the delivery pipe 312 and is located in the refrigeration chamber 110. The delivery pipe 312 is located in the accommodating cavity 210 and extends toward the top of the accommodating cavity 210.

[0064] The inlet pipe 311 is arranged at the bottom of the delivery pipe 312 . The inlet pipe 311 is located in the refrigerating chamber 110 , and the delivery pipe 312 is located in the accommodating cavity 210 . The inlet pipe 311 and the delivery pipe 312 are connected at the connection between the refrigerating chamber 110 and the accommodating cavity 210 .

[0065] When the fan 320 is working, the cold air in the refrigeration chamber 110 can enter the inlet pipe 311, enter the delivery pipe 312 through the inlet pipe 311, and then enter the accommodating cavity 210 through the delivery pipe 312 to refrigerate the pipeline structure 400 in the accommodating cavity 210 and the packaging boxes in the storage space 220.

[0066] In one embodiment, the inlet pipe 311 and the delivery pipe 312 are provided separately and are fastened together using screws or other means. Optionally, the output pipe 310 further includes a seal disposed between the inlet pipe 311 and the delivery pipe 312 to ensure a tight seal at the connection between the two and prevent cold air from leaking from the connection between the inlet pipe 311 and the delivery pipe 312.

[0067] Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the inlet pipe 311 and the delivery pipe 312 may also be an integrated structure. In one embodiment, the delivery pipe 312 is arranged in a vertical direction. This can achieve cold air delivery while reducing the space occupied by the delivery pipe 312, facilitating the layout of the piping structure 400 within the accommodating chamber 210. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the delivery pipe 312 may also be arranged at an angle, etc.

[0068] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the delivery tube 312 extends to the top of the accommodating chamber 210. That is, the end of the delivery tube 312 away from the inlet tube 311 is located at the top of the accommodating chamber 210. This allows the delivery tube 312 to deliver cold air to the accommodating chamber 210, where it can flow down from the top of the accommodating chamber 210, thereby better refrigerating the piping structure 400 within the accommodating chamber 210.

[0069] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the cross-sectional dimension of the inlet pipe 311 at the refrigeration chamber 110 is larger than the cross-sectional dimension at the junction of the inlet pipe 311 and the delivery pipe 312. In other words, the inlet pipe 311 is a flared pipe, with the cross-sectional dimension of the inlet pipe 311 gradually decreasing from bottom to top. This facilitates the entry of cold air into the delivery pipe 312.

[0070] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment, the output pipe 310 is made of sheet metal. This ensures the structural strength of the output pipe 310 while also reducing corrosion, thereby ensuring the performance of the output pipe 310.

[0071] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the delivery structure 300 further includes a distribution component 330, which is disposed at an end of the output pipe 310 away from the refrigeration chamber 110. The distribution component 330 and the inner wall of the ingredient cabinet 200 enclose a distribution space, which connects the output pipe 310 and the accommodating chamber 210.

[0072] The distribution member 330 is disposed at the end of the delivery tube 312 away from the inlet tube 311. Furthermore, the distribution member 330 abuts against the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 210 to enclose a distribution space. In this manner, the delivery tube 312 can first deliver the cold air to the distribution space, and then, through the distribution member 330, deliver the cold air to the accommodating chamber 210, allowing the cold air delivered by the delivery tube 312 to enter the accommodating chamber 210.

[0073] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the distribution component 330 has a plurality of distribution holes 331, which penetrate the distribution component 330 to connect the distribution space with the accommodating chamber 210. The distribution holes 331 penetrate the distribution component 330 in a vertical direction so that the distribution holes 331 can connect the distribution space with the accommodating chamber 210.

[0074] After the delivery pipe 312 delivers the cold air to the distribution space, the cold air can enter the accommodating chamber 210 through the distribution hole 331 of the distribution component 330 to refrigerate the pipeline structure 400 in the accommodating chamber 210. At the same time, the cold air can also enter the storage space 220 to refrigerate the packaging boxes in the storage space 220.

[0075] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the plurality of distribution holes 331 are evenly and / or non-uniformly distributed on the distribution component 330. That is, the distribution holes 331 can be evenly arranged on the distribution component 330. Of course, the distribution holes 331 can also be non-uniformly distributed on the distribution component 330, or some distribution holes 331 can be evenly distributed on the distribution component 330, while some distribution holes 331 can be non-uniformly distributed on the distribution component 330.

[0076] In this embodiment, the distribution holes 331 are distributed more sparsely on the side close to the delivery tube 312 and more densely on the side away from the delivery tube 312. This allows the delivery tube 312 to deliver cold air to the distribution space. The cold air first enters the distribution space close to the delivery tube 312 and then flows to the side away from the delivery tube 312. This sparse and dense arrangement of the distribution holes 331 allows the cold air in the distribution space to flow as evenly as possible into the accommodating chamber 210, thereby achieving the most uniform cooling possible across the piping structure 400.

[0077] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, a fan 320 is disposed at at least one end of the output duct 310. The fan 320 is a component that draws cold air. When in operation, the fan 320 draws cold air from the refrigeration compartment 110 into the output duct 310, facilitating the distribution of the cold air. The fan 320 can be located at the end of the inlet duct 311 away from the delivery duct 312, or at the end of the delivery duct 312 away from the inlet duct 311. Furthermore, the fan 320 can be located outside or inside the output duct 310.

[0078] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the fan 320 is located outside the inlet pipe 311. That is, the fan 320 is located in the refrigeration chamber 110 and outside the end of the inlet pipe 311 away from the delivery pipe 312. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the fan 320 may also be located in the inlet pipe 311, or at the end of the delivery pipe 312 away from the inlet pipe 311, as long as it can extract cold air from the refrigeration chamber 110.

[0079] In another embodiment of the present application, the fan 320 is disposed in the cavity of the output duct 310. That is, the fan 320 is located inside the output duct 310. In this way, when the fan 320 is in operation, it can draw cold air from the refrigeration chamber 110 into the output duct 310. Alternatively, the fan 320 can be located at the junction of the inlet duct 311 and the delivery duct 312, or in the middle area of ​​the delivery duct 312, etc.

[0080] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6In one embodiment, a predetermined angle is formed between the fan 320 and the central axis of the output duct 310. In other words, the fan 320 is tilted relative to the output duct 310. This allows the fan 320 to effectively draw cold air from the refrigerating chamber 110, thereby channeling and borrowing cold air from the refrigerating chamber 110 and ensuring the refrigeration of the piping structure 400 in the accommodating chamber 210 and the packaging boxes in the storage space 220.

[0081] In one embodiment, the preset angle ranges from 30° to 45°. That is, when the angle between the fan 320 and the central axis of the output duct 310 is within the range of 30° to 45°, the fan 320 can more effectively extract the cold air from the refrigerating chamber 110, thereby achieving the purpose of channeling and borrowing the cold air from the refrigerating chamber 110.

[0082] In one embodiment, there are two conveying structures 300, symmetrically disposed on either side of the accommodating chamber 210. In other words, the two conveying structures 300 are symmetrically disposed on the left and right sides of the refrigerating chamber 110 and the accommodating chamber 210. The two conveying structures 300 can channel as much cold air from the refrigerating chamber 110 as possible into the accommodating chamber 210, ensuring the refrigeration of the piping structure 400 in the accommodating chamber 210 and the sub-packaging boxes in the storage space 220.

[0083] Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the two conveying structures 300 may also be spaced apart and arranged on the same side of the accommodating cavity 210 , or the number of the conveying structures 300 may be other, as long as it does not affect the routing layout of the pipeline structure 400 .

[0084] The conveying structure 300 of the present application is connected to the cold storage chamber 110 and the accommodating chamber 210 through the conveying pipe 312, and a fan 320 is arranged in the conveying pipe 312. In this way, the cold air in the cold storage chamber 110 can be transported to the accommodating chamber 210, so that the ingredient cabinet 200 is in a refrigerated environment, that is, the accommodating chamber 210 can borrow the cold air in the cold storage chamber 110. In this way, the cold air in the accommodating chamber 210 can cool the sub-packaging box and the pipeline structure 400 in the ingredient cabinet 200, so that the sub-packaging box and the pipeline structure 400 are in a refrigerated environment, and the solid materials in the sub-packaging box and the liquid materials in the pipeline structure 400 can be stored and transported at low temperatures, thereby avoiding deterioration of the materials and ensuring safety.

[0085] See also Figures 3 to 6The present application also provides a liquid dispenser, comprising a cabinet 10 and an operating table 50. The operating table 50 is disposed on the cabinet 10 and connected to a refrigerated container 60 in a refrigerated chamber 110 of the cabinet 10. The operating table 50 has a liquid outlet port 501 for discharging liquid materials from at least one refrigerated container 60. The cabinet 10 includes a piping structure 400, a refrigerated cabinet 100, a batching cabinet 200, and a conveying structure 300 as in any of the above embodiments. The refrigerated cabinet 100 has a refrigerated chamber 110, and the batching cabinet 200 has a receiving chamber 210. The piping structure 400 is disposed in the receiving chamber 210. The conveying structure 300 connects the refrigerated chamber 110 and the receiving chamber 210 to deliver cold air from the refrigerated chamber 110 to the receiving chamber 210.

[0086] After the liquid dispenser of the present application adopts the conveying structure 300 of the above-mentioned embodiment, it can not only meet the needs of beverage production, but also use the cold air in the refrigeration chamber 110 to refrigerate the ingredient cabinet 200, so that the solid materials in the packaging boxes and the liquid materials in the pipeline structure 400 can be stored and transported at low temperatures, avoiding the deterioration of the materials, ensuring safety, and reducing the complexity and cost of the cabinet 10 structure, thereby facilitating the promotion and application of the liquid dispenser.

[0087] See also Figures 3 to 6 In one embodiment, the refrigerator 100 further includes a cabinet body 130, which includes a refrigeration chamber 110 for refrigerating and storing the refrigerated containers 60. In one embodiment, the top of the refrigerator 100 includes a refrigeration opening 131, which connects the storage space 220 with the refrigeration chamber 110. In other words, the top of the cabinet 130 includes the refrigeration opening 131, which can also store a packaged container. In this way, the refrigeration chamber 110 can also deliver cold air to the storage space 220 through the refrigeration opening 131 to refrigerate the packaged container.
