Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of beverage equipment, in particular to a fluid conveying device controlled by an independent pipeline and a tea drinking machine. Background Art

[0002] As beverages like milk tea, coffee, and fruit tea become increasingly popular, these drinks are now typically dispensed through beverage machines to improve efficiency. These beverages typically use 7-25 ingredients, each of which requires a separate storage tank. A selection of ingredients is then pumped to the liquid outlet to create the drink. This large variety of ingredients complicates the overall piping layout of the tea machine, making disinfection and cleaning difficult.

[0003] In the prior art, conventional disinfection and cleaning methods include manual operation and automated operation. In manual operation, each pipeline needs to be disassembled for soaking, flushing, etc., which is complicated to operate and the cleanliness is not enough, making it difficult to disinfect and clean the entire pipeline. In automated operation, a pump body is often used to pressurize and pump out disinfectant or clean water for cleaning. Due to the complexity of the pipeline, once a branch pipeline is damaged and causes pressure relief or air leakage, the entire pipeline will be affected, resulting in the inability to continue cleaning or poor cleaning effect, and difficulty in maintenance; in addition, this type of automated cleaning method also has the problems of complex structure and high cost.

[0045] refer to Figure 1-4 An embodiment of the present application provides a fluid conveying device with independent pipeline control, including a cleaning mechanism 1, multiple first conveying units 2 and multiple second conveying units 3. The cleaning mechanism 1 includes a main pipeline 11, and a first main pipeline 12 and a second main pipeline 13 connected to the main pipeline 11. The end of the main pipeline 11 is connected to a container barrel 14; the container barrel 14 is used to hold disinfectant, clean water or decontamination water, etc.

[0046] Each of the first conveying units 2 includes a first storage tank 21, a first conveying pipe 22, a first pump body 24 and a first discharge pipe 25; each of the second conveying units 3 includes a second storage tank 31, a second conveying pipe 32, a second pump body 34 and a second discharge pipe 35; and also includes multiple first branch pipes 4 and multiple second branch pipes 5, and the first branch pipes 4 are connected to the first main pipe 12, and the second branch pipes 5 are connected to the second main pipe 13.

[0047] like Figure 1-2 As shown, in the first state, the first delivery pipe 22 is connected to the first storage tank 21, and the first pump body 24 is used to transport the raw materials in the first storage tank 21 to the first discharge pipe 25 after passing through the first delivery pipe 22; the second delivery pipe 32 is connected to the second storage tank 31, and the second pump body 34 is used to transport the raw materials in the second storage tank 31 to the second discharge pipe 35 after passing through the second delivery pipe 32; the first state is the working state of the device, and the raw materials in the first storage tank 21 and the second storage tank 31 are transported by the device, and are discharged from the first discharge pipe 25 and the second discharge pipe 35 to make relevant beverages.

[0048] like Figure 3-5 As shown, in the second state, the first delivery pipe 22 is connected to the first branch pipe 4, and the second pump body 34 is used to transport the liquid in the container barrel 14 to the first discharge pipe 25 through the first branch pipe 4 and the first delivery pipe 22; the second delivery pipe 32 is connected to the second branch pipe 5, and the second pump body 34 is used to transport the liquid in the container barrel 14 to the second discharge pipe 35 through the second branch pipe 5 and the second delivery pipe 32; the second state is the cleaning state of the device, and the disinfectant or clean water in the container barrel 14 is transported through the device to disinfect or clean the pipeline of the device.

[0049] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a first check valve 41 and a second check valve 51 are installed on the first branch pipe 4 and the second branch pipe 5 respectively.

[0050] The present application adopts the above-mentioned technical solution, which can switch between the working state and the cleaning state. When disinfection or cleaning is required, the first feed pipe 22 is directly connected to the first branch pipe 4, and the second feed pipe 32 is connected to the second branch pipe 5, and the disinfectant or clean water is pumped out by the pump body under pressure. It is convenient to switch from the working state to the cleaning state. The pipeline layout is perfect and the structure is compact, and there is no need to use other equipment for cleaning.

[0051] The first branch pipe 4 and the second branch pipe 5 of the present application are respectively installed with a first check valve 41 and a second check valve 51, which can independently control each branch pipe during cleaning. When one of the branch pipes fails, such as being damaged or leaking, it will not affect other parallel branch pipes, so that the branch pipes are isolated from each other, thereby achieving high overall cleaning efficiency and stable operation.

[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a flow meter 6 is installed on the main pipeline 11 to monitor whether the disinfectant or clean water is being transported normally, and the operating status in the cleaning state is judged according to the value of the flow meter 6.

[0053] Furthermore, in order to make the structure of the device more stable and compact, the present application also includes a main bracket 7, and the first pump body 24 and the second pump body 34 are installed on the main bracket 7.

[0054] Specifically, the present application also includes a first support frame 8 and a second support frame 9, the end of the first branch pipe 4 is installed on the first support frame 8, and its end is connected to a first pipe joint 42; the end of the second branch pipe 5 is installed on the second support frame 9, and its end is connected to a second pipe joint 52.

[0055] Furthermore, each of the first support frame 8 and the second support frame 9 is provided with a through hole, through which the first delivery pipe 22 passes and is connected to the first storage tank 21 or the first pipe joint 42, and the second delivery pipe 32 passes and is connected to the second storage tank 31 or the second pipe joint 52. Optionally, the first storage tank 21 and the second storage tank 31 may also be provided with pipe joints to facilitate quick connection or disconnection with the first delivery pipe 22 or the second delivery pipe 32.

[0056] Furthermore, a main pipe joint 111 is provided at the end of the main pipe 11, which connects or disconnects the main pipe 11 with the container barrel 14. Specifically, when cleaning is not required or is completed, the container barrel 14 is disconnected from the main pipe 11, that is, the container barrel 14 is not connected to the main pipe joint 111.

[0057] Furthermore, a third check valve 23 and a fourth check valve 33 are respectively installed on the first conveying pipe 22 and the second conveying pipe 32, for independently controlling each first conveying pipe 22 or each second conveying pipe 32, and the air pressure between each first conveying pipe 22 or each second conveying pipe 32 will not affect each other.

[0058] The device further includes a manifold 10. The end of the first discharge pipe 25 away from the first pump body 24 is mounted on the manifold 10, and the end of the second discharge pipe 35 away from the second pump body 34 is mounted on the manifold 10. The end of the first discharge pipe 25 or the second discharge pipe 35 away from the first pump body 24 or the second pump body 34 serves as a liquid outlet. In the operating state, a cup is placed below the manifold 10 to hold beverages. In the cleaning state, a waste liquid bucket is placed below the manifold 10 to hold waste liquid after disinfection or cleaning.

[0059] Furthermore, if Figure 6-8 As shown, the first check valve 41 or the second check valve 51 includes a valve housing 411 and a valve core 412, the valve core 412 includes a baffle 4121 and a valve body 4122, the valve body 4122 is provided with a hollow cavity 4123, the top of the valve body 4122 is provided with a strip opening 4124, the strip opening 4124 is connected to the hollow cavity 4123, and an inclined surface 4125 is provided on the valve body 4122 near the strip opening 4124; the valve core 412 is made of rubber or silicone.

[0060] It should be noted that the first check valve 41 and the second check valve 51 employ the same structure. Their specific operating principles are as follows: Taking the first check valve 41 as an example, the first check valve 41 is installed within the first branch pipe 4 to allow fluid to flow only from the first direction through the first check valve 41 and into the first branch pipe 4, preventing reverse flow. Specifically, when fluid enters from the first direction through the hollow cavity 4123 of the first check valve 41, away from the strip opening 4124, under a certain pressure, the fluid passes through the strip opening 4124 and enters the other end of the first check valve 41. Conversely, when fluid enters from the second direction, it first contacts the inclined surface 4125 on the valve body 4122. The pressure on the inclined surface 4125 squeezes the strip opening 4124, further sealing the strip opening 4124 and preventing fluid from passing through. It should be noted that the first direction and the second direction are in a positive and negative relationship. Furthermore, the strip opening 4124, located at the top of the valve body 4122, has a smaller opening.

[0061] In addition, the third check valve 23 and the fourth check valve 33 may also have the same structure as the first check valve 41 or the second check valve 51 .

[0062] Another embodiment of the present application provides a tea drinking machine, including the above-mentioned fluid conveying device controlled by an independent pipeline, and other components. Since they are not the innovation points of the present application, they will not be described in detail.

[0063] Note that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and that various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions are possible for those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, while the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.
