Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of beverage mixing equipment, in particular to a beverage machine with an ice-making function. Background Art

[0002] Modern people love to drink beverages, especially hand-mixed drinks. Hand-mixed drinks are made by adding different solid ingredients such as fruit pulp to liquid ingredients such as water, juice, tea, coffee, and fresh milk according to customer needs. The ingredients are then manually mixed in a mixing cup by the mixer using different mixing methods such as shaking and stirring. The advantage of hand-mixed drinks over traditional canned drinks is that customers can choose to add different solid ingredients to different liquid ingredients and use a variety of mixing methods to mix these ingredients, providing a variety of customized drinks for customers to choose from, which is naturally popular with the public. Especially in the summer, almost everyone has a cup of hand-mixed drinks, which shows how popular they are.

[0003] However, compared to canned drinks, which can be mass-produced through automated industrial processes and refrigerated at the point of sale, hand-mixed drinks are diverse and complex, requiring the addition of ice to provide instant, chilled drinks. This requires considerable manual skill and is not suitable for large-scale automated mixing. The time and cost involved are therefore not comparable to canned drinks. Therefore, designing equipment that can automatically add ice and mix hand-mixed drinks, while also ensuring proper cleaning, to save manpower and time is a key challenge in the hand-mixed beverage industry.

[0041] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the utility model, the following is a detailed description of the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0042] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment discloses a beverage machine with an ice-making function.

[0043] A beverage machine with an ice-making function, comprising:

[0044] The base 100 includes a waterway transport module disposed in the housing;

[0045] The beverage brewing module 200 is disposed in the base 100 and is connected to the water transport module; the housing is provided with a plurality of beverage outlet nozzles 110 and selection keys 120 corresponding to the beverage outlet nozzles 110;

[0046] The ice making module 300 includes an ice making assembly and an ice discharging assembly disposed in an ice box 310 , wherein the ice making assembly is connected to the water transport module; an ice discharging nozzle 130 connected to the ice box 310 is disposed on the housing;

[0047] The ice box 310 is provided with an ice making groove 311 and an ice discharging groove 312, and the ice making assembly and the ice discharging assembly are respectively located in the ice making groove 311 and the ice discharging groove 312;

[0048] The ice discharging assembly includes an ice delivery member 320 driven by a first driving component 340 . A limit plate 330 is provided above the output end of the ice delivery member 320 . The lower end surface of the limit plate 330 cooperates with the ice delivery member 320 to form an ice delivery portion capable of accommodating ice cubes passing through.

[0049] The above is the basic solution of this embodiment.

[0050] Specific reference Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the number of selection keys 120 is consistent with the number of beverage outlet nozzles 110, and each selection key 120 is arranged above the corresponding beverage outlet nozzle 110, so that consumers can directly select the desired beverage;

[0051] The ice dispensing spout 130 is also provided with a selection key 120 for selecting whether to dispense ice.

[0052] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the ice making module 300 and the beverage brewing module 200 are set inside the machine body and arranged side by side. In this way, the ice outlet nozzle 130 and the beverage outlet nozzle 110 can be set at the same horizontal position, so that the beverage machine has consistency in appearance.

[0053] Specific reference Figure 3 As shown, the ice box 310 is configured as a shell having an inner cavity, and the ice making groove 311 and the ice discharging groove 312 in the ice box 310 are connected. At the same time, in order to facilitate ice discharging, the ice making groove 311 is usually located at a position higher than the ice discharging groove 312;

[0054] The ice delivery component 320 is located in the ice discharge chute 312 and runs through the entire ice discharge path of the ice discharge chute 312. After ice making is completed in the ice making chute 311, the ice cubes are pushed downward into the ice discharge chute 312. The first driving component 340 drives the ice delivery component 320 to move. Under the action of the ice delivery component 320, the ice cubes move along the ice discharge path to the ice delivery position, and then are output to the ice discharge nozzle 130 through the ice delivery position.

[0055] During the ice making process, if too many ice cubes are made in the ice making chute 311 and pushed into the ice discharging chute 312, they will accumulate in the ice discharging chute 312. When the accumulated ice cubes are moved to the ice delivery position under the action of the ice delivery member 320, the accumulated ice cubes cannot be discharged from the ice delivery position because the ice delivery position is usually only large enough to accommodate a small amount of ice cubes. In addition, the ice discharging nozzle 130 will be blocked. Therefore, a limit plate 330 is provided at the output end of the ice delivery member 320 to limit the ice cubes reaching the ice delivery position so that the height of the ice cubes at this position can be discharged.

[0056] In this embodiment, the structure of the beverage brewing module is consistent with the beverage brewing structure in the prior art, and the usage method is the same, which will not be described here in detail.

[0057] The limiting plate 330 includes at least one limiting platform 331, and the lower end of the limiting platform 331 is provided with an arc-shaped recess;

[0058] The ice delivery component 320 has a spiral ice delivery channel, and the arc-shaped recess is matched and arranged above the output end of the ice delivery channel.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, the middle portion of the limiting platform 331 protrudes upward, so that the lower end surface forms an arc-shaped recessed portion, which is located above the output end of the ice delivery member 320 and matches the upper end surface of the ice delivery member 320;

[0060] Specific reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the arc-shaped recess is located above the spiral ice delivery channel, and a space is left between the arc-shaped recess and the ice delivery channel to accommodate the passage of ice cubes. The ice cubes can be output to the ice delivery position through the output end. At the same time, the space left between the arc-shaped recess and the ice delivery channel will not be too large, so that a large number of ice cubes accumulated will be stopped in the space to prevent them from blocking the ice delivery position.

[0061] In this embodiment, the limiting plate 330 is further provided with an inclined skating platform 332 connected to the limiting platform 331 .

[0062] Specific reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the skating platform 332 and the limiting platform 331 are integrally formed, and the lower end of the skating platform 332 is connected to the limiting platform 331. At the same time, the skating platform 332 is located on the side close to the ice delivery nozzle;

[0063] When there are too many ice cubes in the ice outlet chute 312, some of the ice cubes will fall to the front end of the ice outlet chute 312, that is, the side close to the ice delivery part. In order to allow these ice cubes to smoothly enter the ice delivery part along the ice delivery channel, the ice cubes that fall into this area will slide down along the ice skating platform 332 to the ice delivery channel, and then enter the ice delivery part along the ice delivery channel.

[0064] When a large amount of ice cubes accumulate in the ice outlet chute 312 and the ice is discharged slowly, the accumulated ice cubes will stick together to form large ice chunks. When the amount of adhesion is too large, the ice cubes cannot be discharged, resulting in subsequent ice discharge being not smooth. Therefore, in this embodiment, a stirring member 350 driven by a second driving component 360 is further included, and the stirring member 350 is arranged above the ice delivery member 320.

[0065] Preferably, in this embodiment, a water filter trough 332.1 is provided on the skating platform 332.

[0066] During the mixing or ice delivery process, the ice cubes melt and produce a small amount of water stains, and the liquid water falls from the water filter trough 332 . 1 into the ice outlet trough 312 .

[0067] Preferably, the stirring member 350 is configured as a screw rod.

[0068] Preferably, in this embodiment, the stirring member 350 is also configured as a rod having a spiral stirring blade and is disposed above the ice delivery member 320;

[0069] When there are too many ice cubes in the ice outlet chute 312 and the height thereof exceeds the height of the ice delivery member 320, the stirring member 350 stirs the ice cubes under the action of the second driving member 360, thereby separating adjacent ice cubes.

[0070] The advantage of setting the spiral stirring blade is that the spiral stirring blade forms a spiral ice separation channel, and some ice cubes can move along the ice separation channel and move toward the ice delivery part;

[0071] When ice cubes move along the ice separation channel, they may occasionally fall from the ice separation channel to the ice delivery channel, and continue to move along the ice delivery channel to the ice delivery position.

[0072] In this embodiment, the ice delivery member 320 may be configured as a spiral blade consistent with the stirring member 350 , or may be a spiral metal wire.

[0073] Preferably, in this embodiment, the stirring member 350 and the ice-delivering member 320 are arranged in parallel and are both arranged obliquely, with the output end being located higher than the starting end.

[0074] In this embodiment, an ice delivery pipe 800 is further provided in the ice outlet chute 312 to connect with the ice outlet nozzle 130 .

[0075] Specifically, the ice delivery pipe 800 extends to the outside of the ice outlet chute 312, and its entrance is located below the ice delivery part. The ice cubes enter the ice delivery part along the ice delivery channel and fall directly to the entrance of the ice delivery pipe 800, and then are output to the ice outlet nozzle 130 along the ice delivery pipe 800.

[0076] In this embodiment, the ice making assembly includes a condenser pipe 600 connected to the water transport module, and the condenser pipe 600 is located in the ice making tank 311;

[0077] An ice scoop 700 is hingedly connected to the ice making groove 311 .

[0078] The ice-making method of the ice-making assembly is consistent with the ice-making structure in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0079] The condenser 600 makes ice cubes in the ice making chute 311 , and the ice scoop 700 guides the ice cubes into the ice discharging chute 312 .

[0080] In this embodiment, the base 100 is further provided with a door 400, which is hinged on the base 100 and can be opened relative to the base 100;

[0081] The door body 400 and the base 100 are locked by a pin rod 500 .

[0082] In this embodiment, the front end of the base 100 is set to be open, and a door body 400 is installed to close the opening; the door body 400 can be opened to replenish the raw materials of the beverage brewing module 200 inside;

[0083] One side of the door body 400 is hinged to the machine body, and the other side can be opened or closed relative to the opening;

[0084] When the door body 400 is closed relative to the opening, that is, the inner end surface of the door body 400 is in close contact with the front end of the machine body, at this time, the door body 400 and the machine base 100 can be plugged and locked by the pin rod 500.

[0085] Specifically, a lock plate 410 with a lock hole 411 is provided on the inner end surface of the door body 400 facing the machine base 100 , and an avoidance hole 101 is provided on the upper end surface of the door body 400 , and the pin rod 500 can pass through the avoidance hole 101 and be inserted into the lock hole 411 .

[0086] Specific reference Figure 6As shown, the locking piece 410 is arranged horizontally, that is, flush with the upper end surface of the base 100. When the door body 400 is in the closed state, the locking piece 410 is inserted below the upper end surface of the base 100 and is flush with the upper end surface of the base 100. At this time, the avoidance hole 101 and the locking hole 411 are coaxially arranged;

[0087] The door body 400 can be locked on the machine base 100 by inserting the pin rod 500 downward from the avoidance hole 101 into the lock hole 411 .

[0088] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments using the technical contents disclosed above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any brief modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
