[0034] In addition, if the terms "first" or "second" appear, these terms are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features.

[0038] See Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1A cross-sectional view of a syrup storage module 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The syrup storage module 100 provided in one embodiment of the present application includes a storage device 1 and a liquid level sensor 2. The storage device 1 defines a storage space 10 for storing syrup and a slurry outlet 11 for discharging the syrup stored in the storage space 10. A liquid probe 22 of the liquid level sensor 2 is located within the storage space 10 and is used to detect the liquid level of the syrup within the storage space 10, thereby detecting the remaining syrup in the storage space 10. Furthermore, in the depth direction of the storage space 10, the liquid probe 22 is located on the side of the slurry outlet 11 away from the bottom surface of the storage space 10. This allows the syrup to adhere to the liquid probe 22 less due to its own gravity, preventing interference with the liquid probe 22 and ensuring accurate detection by the liquid probe 22.

[0039] For example, combined Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the beverage making device 200 includes an information display 203, and the liquid level sensor 2 is communicatively connected to the information display 203. The liquid level sensor 2 and the information display 203 are connected wirelessly and / or wiredly. For example, a data transmission line is connected between the liquid level sensor 2 and the information display 203 to communicate with each other via a wired transmission method, and / or the liquid level sensor 2 and the information display 203 are communicated with each other via a wireless transmission method such as Bluetooth / 4G signal / 5G signal.

[0040] When the syrup liquid level in the storage space 10 is higher than the liquid probe 22, the liquid probe 22 can detect the liquid level height value of the syrup, and the liquid level sensor 2 generates a corresponding liquid level height signal according to the liquid level height value of the syrup and transmits it to the information display 203. The information display 203 converts the corresponding liquid level height signal into information that can reflect the remaining status of the liquid level height value of the syrup (such as displaying the words "Syrup remaining: 80%" in the information display 203), so that the user can check the remaining syrup in the storage space 10 through the information display 203.

[0041] When the syrup liquid level in the storage space 10 is lower than the liquid probe 22, the liquid probe 22 cannot detect the liquid level height value of the syrup, and the liquid level sensor 2 generates a syrup below the threshold signal and transmits it to the information display 203. The information display 203 converts the syrup below the threshold signal into status information that can reflect the insufficient syrup remaining (such as a pop-up window displaying the words "Insufficient syrup remaining" in the information display 203), so that the user can know through the information display 203 that the syrup remaining in the storage space 10 is small, thereby prompting the user to replenish the syrup in time.

[0042] See Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The Z direction shown in FIG represents the height of the storage device 1 and is also the depth of the storage space 10. Because the liquid probe 22 is located on the side of the slurry outlet 11 away from the bottom of the storage space 10 in the depth direction of the storage space 10, when the syrup level in the storage space 10 falls below the liquid probe 22 (i.e., after the user is notified that syrup refilling is required), the syrup attached to the liquid probe 22 flows toward the bottom of the storage space 10 under the action of its own gravity, thereby reducing the amount of syrup attached to the liquid probe 22. This avoids the problem of low detection accuracy of the liquid level sensor 2 caused by excessive syrup attached to the liquid probe 22.

[0043] It can also be understood that, in the depth direction of the storage space 10, the height of the liquid probe 22 is higher than the height of the slurry outlet 11. When the syrup level is lower than the liquid probe 22, the liquid level sensor 2 is prevented from erroneously judging that the syrup level is still higher than the liquid probe 22 due to syrup adhering to the liquid probe 22, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the liquid level sensor 2. In addition, when the syrup level is lower than the liquid probe 22, there is still a certain amount of syrup remaining in the storage space 10, which also reserves sufficient time for the user to replenish the syrup. When the user is busy, the user can postpone the time to add syrup to avoid affecting other operations such as receiving customers due to syrup replenishment.

[0044] Therefore, according to the syrup storage module 100 of the present application, the interference of syrup on the detection accuracy of the liquid level sensor 2 is reduced, so that the liquid level sensor 2 can accurately detect the remaining syrup in the storage space 10, allowing the user to accurately obtain the remaining syrup information in the storage space 10.

[0045] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the storage device 1 includes a cylinder body 1a and a cover body 1b, a storage groove 10a is formed in the cylinder body 1a, the cover body 1b covers the opening of the storage groove 10a to define a storage space 10, and a pulp outlet 11 is formed in the cylinder body 1a.

[0046] For example, see Figure 1 As shown, the bottom wall of the cylinder 1a is formed with a slurry outlet 11, so that under the action of gravity, all the syrup in the storage space 10 can be discharged from the storage space 10 through the slurry outlet 11. However, the present application is not limited thereto, and the slurry outlet 11 can also be located on the peripheral wall of the cylinder 1a.

[0047] It should also be added that the storage device 1 in the present application includes a cylinder body 1a and a cover body 1b. The cover body 1b is used to open and close the opening of the storage tank 10a. When the storage tank 10a is in the open state, it is convenient for the user to add syrup and to clean the inside of the storage tank 10a. When the storage tank 10a is in the closed state (that is, the cover body 1b is covered on the cylinder body 1a), it can prevent pollutants such as dust in the environment from contaminating the syrup in the storage space 10.

[0048] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the storage device 1 is formed with a first assembly through-hole 12. Along the depth direction of the storage space 10, the first assembly through-hole 12 is located on the side of the slurry outlet 11 away from the bottom surface of the storage space 10. The liquid level sensor 2 is assembled in the first assembly through-hole 12, wherein the liquid probe 22 is located in the storage space 10, so that along the depth direction of the storage space 10, the liquid probe 22 is located on the side of the slurry outlet 11 away from the bottom surface of the storage space 10.

[0049] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a slurry outlet 11 is formed on the bottom wall of the cylinder body 1a, and a first assembly through hole 12 is formed on the peripheral wall of the cylinder body 1a, so that in the depth direction of the storage groove 10a, the first assembly through hole 12 is located on the side of the slurry outlet 11 away from the bottom surface of the storage space 10. It can also be understood that the distance between the first assembly through hole 12 and the bottom wall of the cylinder body 1a is greater than the distance between the slurry outlet 11 and the bottom wall of the cylinder body 1a.

[0050] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first assembly through-hole 12 is used to assemble the liquid level sensor 2, so that the liquid level sensor 2 is passed through and fixed to the peripheral wall of the cylinder body 1a, wherein the liquid probe 22 is located in the storage groove 10a of the cylinder body 1a, thereby achieving the effect of the liquid probe 22 being located in the storage space 10. In this way, when the liquid level sensor 2 is assembled in the first assembly through-hole 12, the liquid probe 22 is located on the side of the syrup outlet 11 away from the bottom surface of the storage space 10 in the depth direction of the storage space 10, so that the liquid probe 22 can accurately detect the remaining syrup in the storage space 10.

[0051] In some embodiments, combined Figure 1 As shown, the cover 1b is formed with a wiring hole for passing a data transmission line between the liquid level sensor 2 and the information display 203. This allows the liquid level sensor 2 to be suspended from the cover 1b. When the cover 1b is placed on the cylinder body 1a, the liquid level sensor 2 is suspended from the storage space 10, so that the liquid level sensor 2 is used to detect the remaining syrup in the storage space 10. By suspending the liquid level sensor 2 from the cover 1b, it is convenient for the user to clean the liquid probe 22 and to facilitate maintenance and replacement of the liquid level sensor 2.

[0052] See Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the liquid level sensor 2 includes a liquid sensor body 21 and a liquid probe 22. The liquid sensor body 21 is cylindrical, and the liquid probe 22 is located at one end of the liquid sensor body 21. A first external thread 71 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the liquid sensor body 21, and a first internal thread 72 is formed on the inner peripheral wall of the first assembly through-hole 12. The first external thread 71 and the first internal thread 72 are screwed together, thereby achieving the effect of screwing the liquid level sensor 2 to the storage device 1. The liquid level sensor 2 is fixed to the storage device 1 by screwing, which not only ensures the assembly reliability of the liquid level sensor 2, but also makes it easier for the user to disassemble the liquid level sensor 2 from the storage device 1. In this way, the user can detach the liquid level sensor 2 from the storage device 1 to clean the liquid probe 22, and facilitate the repair and replacement of the liquid level sensor 2.

[0053] See Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the syrup storage module 100 may further include a first seal 3, which is used to seal the gap between the liquid level sensor 2 and the inner circumferential wall of the first assembly through hole 12, thereby preventing syrup from leaking through the gap between the liquid level sensor 2 and the inner circumferential wall of the first assembly through hole 12.

[0054] For example, see Figure 2 As shown, the first sealing member 3 is a sealing ring, which is sleeved on the liquid sensor body 21, so that when the liquid level sensor 2 is assembled in the first assembly through hole 12, the sealing ring is clamped between the first external thread 71 and the first internal thread 72, thereby realizing that the first sealing member 3 is used to seal the gap between the liquid level sensor 2 and the inner peripheral wall of the first assembly through hole 12 to prevent syrup from leaking through the gap between the liquid level sensor 2 and the inner peripheral wall of the first assembly through hole 12.

[0055] In other examples, the first sealing member 3 may be a sealant, and a glue injection device is used to inject the sealant into the gap between the liquid level sensor 2 and the inner circumferential wall of the first assembly through hole 12 to prevent the syrup from leaking through the gap between the liquid level sensor 2 and the inner circumferential wall of the first assembly through hole 12.

[0056] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the syrup storage module 100 further includes a heater 4, which has a heating portion 41. The heating portion 41 is configured to generate heat to heat the syrup, thereby avoiding an increase in the viscosity of the syrup and ensuring the fluidity of the syrup. This can also reduce the amount of syrup attached to the liquid probe 22, thereby avoiding the problem of low detection accuracy of the liquid level sensor 2 caused by more syrup adhering to the liquid probe 22, so that the liquid level sensor 2 can accurately detect the remaining syrup in the storage space 10.

[0057] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the heating portion 41 is located in the storage space 10, so that the heat generated by the heating portion 41 directly heats the syrup in the storage space 10. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the heating portion 41 contacts the outer surface of the storage device 1, so that the heat of the heating portion 41 is indirectly transferred to the storage space 10 through the storage device 1 to heat the syrup in the storage space 10. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the heating portion 41 is integrated into the storage device 1, so that the heat of the heating portion 41 is indirectly transferred to the storage space 10 through the storage device 1 to heat the syrup in the storage space 10.

[0058] In some embodiments, the heating portion 41 may be a heating plate or a heating wire. Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the heating portion 41 is taken as a heating plate as an example.

[0059] In some embodiments, the heater 4 further includes a mounting base, the heating portion 41 is fixed to the mounting base, and the mounting base is suitable for being fixedly assembled with the storage device 1 so that the heater 4 is mounted and fixed to the storage device 1 .

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the syrup storage module 100 also includes a temperature sensor 5. The storage device 1 is formed with a second assembly through hole 13. The temperature sensor 5 is assembled in the second assembly through hole 13, and the temperature probe 5252 of the temperature sensor 5 is located in the storage space 10. The temperature probe 5252 is used to detect the temperature of the syrup in the storage space 10.

[0061] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the second assembly through hole 13 is formed on the bottom wall of the cylinder body 1a, and when the temperature sensor 5 is assembled in the second assembly through hole 13, the temperature probe 5252 is located in the storage space 10, so that the temperature probe 5252 can detect the temperature of the syrup located in the storage space 10.

[0062] For example, combined Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the beverage making device 200 includes an information display 203, and the temperature sensor 5 is communicatively connected to the information display 203. The temperature sensor 5 and the information display 203 are connected wirelessly and / or wiredly. For example, a data transmission line is connected between the temperature sensor 5 and the information display 203 to communicate with each other via a wired transmission method, and / or the temperature sensor 5 and the information display 203 are communicatively connected via a wireless transmission method such as Bluetooth / 4G signal / 5G signal.

[0063] The temperature sensor 5 is used to detect the temperature of the syrup and generate a temperature signal. The temperature sensor 5 transmits the temperature signal to the information display 203. The information display 203 converts the temperature signal into status information that can reflect the temperature of the syrup (such as displaying the words "Syrup temperature: 50°C" in the information display 203) so that the user can check the temperature of the syrup through the information display 203.

[0064] Furthermore, the temperature sensor 5 can also be connected to the heater 4. The temperature sensor 5 transmits a temperature signal to the heater 4. Based on the temperature signal, the heater 4 determines the syrup temperature and selectively heats the syrup to maintain an appropriate temperature. This ensures fluidity, facilitates syrup discharge from the slurry outlet 11, and prevents excessive syrup from adhering to the liquid probe 22. For example, if the optimal syrup temperature is 50°C (50 degrees Celsius), and the temperature sensor 5 detects a syrup temperature of 45°C (45 degrees Celsius), there is a 5°C (5 degrees Celsius) difference between the actual syrup temperature and the optimal temperature. Heater 4 generates heat, heating the syrup to 50°C (50 degrees Celsius). Heater 4 can then reduce its operating power to maintain the syrup at 50°C (50 degrees Celsius). Alternatively, heater 4 can pause operation and resume heating when the syrup temperature again falls below 50°C (50 degrees Celsius).

[0065] In some embodiments, combined Figure 1 As shown, the cover 1b is formed with a wiring hole for passing a data transmission line between the temperature sensor 5 and the information display 203, so that the temperature sensor 5 can be suspended from the cover 1b. When the cover 1b is placed on the cylinder body 1a, the temperature sensor 5 is suspended from the storage space 10, so that the temperature sensor 5 is used to detect the temperature of the syrup in the storage space 10. By suspending the temperature sensor 5 from the cover 1b, it is convenient for the user to clean the temperature probe 5252 and to repair and replace the temperature sensor 5.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the temperature sensor 5 includes a temperature sensor body 51 and a temperature probe 5252. The temperature sensor body 51 is cylindrical, and the temperature probe 5252 is located at one end of the temperature sensor body 51. A second external thread 81 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the temperature sensor body 51, and a second internal thread 82 is formed on the inner peripheral wall of the second assembly through-hole 13. The second external thread 81 and the second internal thread 82 are threadedly connected, thereby achieving the effect of threaded assembly of the temperature sensor 5 to the storage device 1. The temperature sensor 5 is fixed to the storage device 1 using a threaded assembly method, which not only ensures the assembly reliability of the temperature sensor 5, but also facilitates the user's removal of the temperature sensor 5 from the storage device 1. The user can remove the temperature sensor 5 from the storage device 1 to clean the temperature probe 5252, as well as facilitate repair and replacement of the temperature sensor 5.

[0067] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the syrup storage module 100 further includes a second seal 6 , which is used to seal the gap between the temperature sensor 5 and the inner circumferential wall of the second assembly through hole 13 , thereby preventing syrup from leaking through the gap between the temperature sensor 5 and the inner circumferential wall of the second assembly through hole 13 .

[0068] For example, see Figure 3 As shown, the second sealing member 6 is a sealing ring, which is sleeved on the temperature sensor body 51 so that when the temperature sensor 5 is assembled in the second assembly through hole 13, the sealing ring is clamped between the second external thread 81 and the second internal thread 82, thereby realizing that the second sealing member 6 is used to seal the gap between the temperature sensor 5 and the inner peripheral wall of the second assembly through hole 13 to prevent syrup from leaking through the gap between the liquid level sensor 2 and the inner peripheral wall of the second assembly through hole 13.

[0069] In other examples, the second sealing member 6 may be a sealant, and a glue injection device is used to inject the sealant into the gap between the temperature sensor 5 and the inner circumferential wall of the second assembly hole 13 to prevent the syrup from leaking through the gap between the temperature sensor 5 and the inner circumferential wall of the second assembly hole 13.

[0070] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, according to an embodiment of the present application, a beverage making device 200 includes the syrup storage module 100, a device body 201, and a liquid dispensing head 202 according to some of the above-mentioned embodiments. The device body 201 is formed with an assembly space, and the syrup storage module 100 is placed in the assembly space so that the syrup storage module 100 is assembled to the device body 201. The liquid dispensing head 202 is assembled to the device body 201, and the syrup inlet 202a of the liquid dispensing head 202 is connected to the syrup outlet 11 so that the syrup stored in the storage device 1 is transported to the liquid dispensing head 202. The syrup flows into the liquid dispensing head 202 from the syrup inlet 202a, and then flows into a container such as a cup from the liquid outlet 202b of the liquid dispensing head 202.

[0071] 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.

[0072] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. 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 of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
