AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

During the use of the existing soup machine, the solenoid valve is not closed tightly due to the fine residue in the soup, resulting in soup dripping, which affects the business conditions of the restaurant. Especially when the fault occurs during the opening hours, it cannot be repaired in time, affecting the normal operation.

Method used

A soup machine with a secondary closed water channel structure is designed, including a manual switch valve and an electric control switch. This ensures that when the electric control valve fails, the manual switch valve can be used for secondary closure to prevent the soup from dripping, provide a backup function, and support the normal operation of the restaurant.

Benefits of technology

When the electric control valve fails, the manual switch valve can be closed for a second time to ensure that the soup machine can still work normally in the event of a failure, avoid soup dripping, support the normal operation of the restaurant, and reduce the impact of the failure.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of soup making machines, in particular to a soup making machine provided with a novel water channel structure. Background Art

[0002] A soup machine is a device that automatically makes soup. It is generally equipped with a soup bucket and a soup outlet connected to the soup bucket. A solenoid valve and a liquid pump are also installed between the soup bucket and the soup outlet to control the pumping of the soup. However, there is a problem with current soup machines. Because there is usually a certain amount of fine residue in the soup in the soup bucket, the solenoid valve often fails to close tightly after long-term use, requiring maintenance and repair. The liquid pump itself does not have the ability to lock the pipeline. As a result, in this case, if there is a lot of soup in the soup bucket, the soup machine will not be able to completely close the pipeline when it is not working, causing the soup to slowly drip out of the soup outlet under the action of gravity because the solenoid valve cannot completely close the pipeline. However, the opening hours of restaurants are fixed. If a malfunction occurs during the opening of the restaurant, it is difficult to repair the soup machine in a timely manner, resulting in changes in the restaurant's business conditions.
