Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage preparation equipment technology, and more specifically to an automatic cold drink machine. Background Technology

[0002] From the bubble tea craze of the last century to today's ubiquitous new-style tea drinks, flavored beverages have become a necessity for urban residents, especially young people, in China. However, most beverage shops still rely on employees manually pressing taps to dispense different drinks and then manually mixing them into finished products. Preparing a single cup of beverage is time-consuming, and the precision is difficult to guarantee, resulting in low efficiency, poor quality, and high labor costs.

[0003] To improve preparation efficiency, a few automated beverage preparation devices have appeared on the market. For example, Chinese patent CN217852436U discloses a beverage preparation machine that uses multiple ingredient containers and conveying devices to separately transport and prepare beverages of a single flavor. While this prior art can improve beverage preparation efficiency, all the ingredient containers are placed in a lower cabinet, requiring the user to squat down to open the cabinet door to remove the containers for maintenance. This results in a large footprint and inconvenient maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic cold drink machine that can improve the efficiency and accuracy of beverage preparation, and is compact in size, easy to maintain and simple to use.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: an automatic cold drink machine, including a lower cabinet and an upper shell, the cabinet and the shell are detachably connected. For scenarios with smaller space and no need for material preservation, the shell can be used independently, improving the flexibility and convenience of the cold drink machine; a refrigeration device is provided on the side of the cabinet, and a control interaction device is provided on one side of the shell. A dispensing component is provided at the bottom of the control interaction device, and a tray for placing containers is provided below the dispensing component. A weight sensor is built into the tray; the inner cavity of the cabinet and the inner cavity of the shell are connected to form a material box receiving cavity, and multiple material boxes are placed in the inner cavity of the cabinet and the inner cavity of the shell respectively. Each material box is connected to the dispensing component through a corresponding conveying pipe, and a conveying pump is provided on each conveying pipe; the refrigeration device is used to refrigerate the material box receiving cavity to provide low-temperature preserved beverage fluid; the control interaction device is connected to the weight sensor and the conveying pump respectively.

[0006] This technical solution provides an automatic beverage cooler that can detect the weight of the beverage through a weight sensor and control the delivery pump to adjust the feeding flow rate according to the beverage weight, thereby achieving precise control of the material delivery. It can automatically prepare beverages with high dispensing efficiency and good production effect, without the need for complicated employee training, thus effectively reducing labor costs. At the same time, the above-mentioned automatic beverage cooler reduces the overall footprint of the machine by setting multiple material boxes in the shell and cabinet respectively, while ensuring capacity, thus solving the problems of large footprint and difficult transportation of existing beverage coolers.

Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0035] Reference Figure 1-8 This invention describes an automatic cold drink machine according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1-8 As shown, an automatic cold drink machine includes a lower cabinet 100 and an upper shell 500, with the cabinet 100 and the shell 500 being detachably connected; a cooling device 200 is provided on the side of the cabinet 100, and a control interaction device 300 is provided on one side of the shell 500. A dispensing component is provided at the bottom of the control interaction device 300, and a tray for placing containers is provided below the dispensing component. A weight sensor 303 is built into the tray.

[0037] The inner cavity of the box 100 is connected to the inner cavity of the shell 500 to form a material box receiving cavity. Multiple material boxes 400 are placed in the inner cavity of the box 100 and the inner cavity of the shell 500 respectively. Each material box 400 is connected to the discharge component through a corresponding conveying pipe 600. Each conveying pipe 600 is equipped with a conveying pump 304.

[0038] The refrigeration device 200 is used to refrigerate the container cavity to provide a beverage fluid that is kept fresh at low temperatures; the control interaction device 300 is connected to the weight sensor 303 and the delivery pump 304 respectively.

[0039] The material box 400 is used to hold various raw materials for preparing beverages. The upper part of the inner cavity of the box body 100 is connected to the lower part of the inner cavity on one side of the shell 500 to form a material box receiving cavity. The material box receiving cavity can be divided into an upper shell inner cavity and a lower box inner cavity. Multiple material boxes 400 are provided in both the shell inner cavity and the box inner cavity. Since the box body 100 and the shell 500 are detachably connected, the shell 500 can be used independently in scenarios with smaller space and no requirements for material preservation, which improves the flexibility and convenience of the cold drink machine.

[0040] As one embodiment of this invention, at least two rows of material box mounting racks can be provided in the inner cavity of the shell and the inner cavity of the box to accommodate more material boxes 400. Since the shell 500 is stacked on top of the box 100, the floor area of ​​the automatic cold drink machine, i.e. the floor area of ​​the box 100, can be greatly reduced while ensuring the material capacity.

[0041] In practice, the control interaction device 300 can obtain beverage preparation information by scanning QR codes or barcodes and receiving user input values. Based on this preparation information, it controls the delivery pump 304 to quantitatively extract beverage fluid from each container 400 and mix it into the container. The weight sensor 303 detects the weight of the beverage fluid in the container in real time and feeds it back to the control interaction device 300, thereby achieving precise control of the beverage flow rate. The refrigeration device 200 can be powered independently from the outside or connected to the control interaction device 300.

[0042] The automatic beverage cooler provided in the above embodiment can detect the weight of the beverage through the weight sensor 303 and control the feeding flow of the delivery pump 304 according to the beverage weight, thereby achieving precise control of the material delivery. It can automatically prepare beverages with high cup dispensing efficiency and good production effect, without the need for complicated employee training, thus effectively reducing labor costs. At the same time, by setting multiple material boxes 400 in the shell 500 and the cabinet 100 respectively, the automatic beverage cooler reduces the overall machine footprint while ensuring capacity, solving the problems of large footprint and difficult transportation of existing beverage coolers.

[0043] In this embodiment, a first pull-out mechanism 501 is provided on one side of the housing 500, and an electronic control board 307 is provided on the first pull-out mechanism 501. The electronic control board 307 can enter and exit the housing 500 through the first pull-out mechanism 501.

[0044] The control board 307 may be equipped with one or more electrical control components such as a controller 305, a relay, a switching power supply and a terminal block. The controller 305 may be connected to the control interaction device 300, the weight sensor 303 and the delivery pump 304 respectively. The relay and the switching power supply may be connected to an external power supply to power the entire automatic cold drink machine.

[0045] In practice, the electronic control board 307 can be pulled out through the first pull-out mechanism 501, allowing for maintenance and inspection from the front, which is convenient for repairs.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first pull-out mechanism 501 includes two first slide rails 505 disposed at the upper and lower ends of the electronic control board 307, two first fixed rails 506 disposed opposite to each other, and a handle 308 disposed on the outside of the electronic control board 307. The two first slide rails 505 are slidably disposed in the two first fixed rails 506 respectively.

[0047] The housing 500 has a first opening on one side for the power control board 307 to enter and exit. The outer side of the power control board 307 has a sealing plate, which is perpendicular to the power control board 307 and has the same shape as the first opening. When the power control board 307 is retracted into the housing 500, the sealing plate closes on the first opening to seal the housing 500.

[0048] In practice, the control board 307 can be opened and closed laterally via the first slide rail 505 by pulling the handle 308. The handle 308 is located on the sealing plate and can be a concave handle or a convex handle, preferably a concave handle, which can avoid collisions and help save space occupied by the housing.

[0049] In this embodiment, a second pull mechanism 502 and a syrup box door 503 are provided on the other side of the housing 500. A syrup box 401 is provided on the second pull mechanism 502. The syrup box 401 can enter and exit the housing 500 through the second pull mechanism 502. A heating plate 306 is provided at the bottom of the syrup box 401.

[0050] The container 400 can be used to store raw materials that need to be refrigerated, and the syrup container 401 can be used to store raw materials that need to be heated, such as syrup. The heating plate 306 is used to heat the raw materials inside the syrup container 401. The other side of the housing 500 is provided with a second opening for the syrup container 401 to enter and exit. The container door 503 can be hinged to the housing 500 to close the second opening. At the same time, the container door 503 can be driven to the second pull mechanism 502, so that when the container door 503 is opened, it drives the second pull mechanism 502 to pull the syrup container 401 to the outside of the housing 500, and when the container door 503 is closed, it drives the second pull mechanism 502 to push the syrup container 401 back into the housing 500.

[0051] In the above embodiment, the syrup box 401 can be pulled out by the second pull mechanism 502, which makes it convenient to add syrup or clean the syrup box 401.

[0052] In this embodiment, the second pull-out mechanism 502 includes two second slide rails 507 disposed on the front and rear sides of the syrup box 401, two second fixed rails 508 disposed on the front and rear sides inside the housing 500, and two rotating rods 509. The two second slide rails 507 are slidably disposed in the two second fixed rails 508 respectively.

[0053] The rear side of the second slide rail 507 is provided with a protruding slider, and the upper part of the rotating rod 509 is provided with a long through hole, in which the slider is slidably disposed.

[0054] The material box door 503 includes a door panel and two door hinges vertically disposed at the lower ends of both sides of the door panel. The rear ends of the two door hinges are respectively hinged to the middle of two rotating rods 509.

[0055] The syrup box on the side of the automatic cold drink machine rotates around the housing 500 by pulling the material box door 503, and at the same time, the pull mechanism 502 is pulled, and the slide rail 505 slides outward from the fixed rail 506. The slider part of the pull mechanism 502 slides in the slide groove part of the material box door 503 to realize opening and closing.

[0056] In practice, the material box door 503 is pulled on the side of the housing 500 to rotate around the housing 500. The door hinge drives the rotating rod 509 to rotate outward. The long through hole of the rotating rod 509 slides relative to the slider on the second slide rail 507, causing the second slide rail 507 to slide outward relative to the second fixed rail 508, which can pull the syrup box 401 out of the housing 500. The syrup box 401 is pulled out at the same time as the material box door 503 is opened. At this time, the second pull mechanism 502 is in the open state.

[0057] When the syrup box door 503 is closed, the door hinge drives the rotating rod 509 to rotate inward. The rotating rod 509 slides relative to the slider on the second slide rail 507 through the long through hole, causing the second slide rail 507 to slide inward relative to the second fixed rail 508, which can push the syrup box 401 back into the housing 500. At this time, the second pull-out mechanism 502 is in the closed state.

[0058] In the above embodiment, the syrup box door 503 is connected to the second pull-out mechanism 502. The slider of the second slide rail 507 slides in the long through hole of the rotating rod 509, so that the syrup box 401 can enter and exit the housing 500 as the syrup box door 503 opens, closes and exits.

[0059] Based on the above embodiments, the electronic control board 307 is taken out from one side of the housing 500 through the first pull mechanism 501, and the syrup box 401 is taken out from the other side through the second pull mechanism 502.

[0060] In this embodiment, the control interaction device 300 includes a controller 305 and an interaction component, with the controller 305 mounted on the electronic control board 307.

[0061] The controller 305 is connected to the interactive component, the weight sensor 303, the delivery pump 304, and the heating plate 306 respectively.

[0062] The interactive components include at least one of an operating touch screen 301 and a barcode scanner 302.

[0063] The controller 305 can be a PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) or a packaged MCU (Microcontroller Unit), also known as a single-chip microcomputer or microcontroller.

[0064] In this embodiment, the control interaction device 300 includes a wireless communication module and / or a wired communication module. The wireless communication module is used to connect to a mobile terminal or a cloud server, and the wired communication module is used to connect to a network cable. The wireless communication module may include at least one of a Bluetooth chip and a wireless chip; in specific implementations, commonly used Bluetooth chips and / or wireless chips in the prior art can be employed.

[0065] In this embodiment, the automatic cold drink machine also includes a water inlet pipe for connecting to the delivery pipe 600. The water inlet pipe is equipped with a flow sensor and a water inlet solenoid valve, both of which are connected to the control interaction device 300.

[0066] In one embodiment of this invention, the water inlet pipe is connected to the same number of water inlet ports as the material box 400. The water inlet ports are used to connect to the connector of the conveying pipe 600 during pipe cleaning to provide clean water for cleaning the conveying pipe 600.

[0067] The flow sensor and solenoid valve are connected to the controller 305 to realize the control of the inlet water flow; each inlet interface can be located near the outlet interface of each material box 400 to facilitate the switching of the connection object of the conveying pipe 600 connector.

[0068] In practice, when it is necessary to clean the internal pipes of the automatic cold drink machine, first switch the connection object of each conveying pipe 600 joint from the discharge interface of the material box 400 to the water inlet interface, and then issue an instruction through the control interaction device 300 to command the automatic cold drink machine to perform automatic cleaning, or clean the set conveying pipes 600 in a pre-timed sequence.

[0069] In another embodiment of this invention, the water inlet pipe is connected to the conveying pipe 600 via a cleaning solenoid valve. When the cleaning solenoid valve is in the first state, the conveying pipe 600 connects the material box 400 and the discharge component. When the cleaning solenoid valve is in the second state, the conveying pipe 600 connects the material box 400 and the water inlet pipe to provide clean water for cleaning the conveying pipe 600 and the material box 400. The control interaction device 300 is connected to the cleaning solenoid valve to control the switching of the cleaning solenoid valve between the first state and the second state, thereby realizing the conversion between the discharge mode and the cleaning mode.

[0070] In practice, when it is necessary to clean the conveying pipe 600 and the material box 400, the control interaction device 300 controls the cleaning solenoid valve to switch to the second state, and clean water enters the conveying pipe 600 through the water inlet pipe to achieve the cleaning function.

[0071] In this embodiment, the front of the housing 500 is provided with an openable glass door 504, which facilitates observation of the internal condition of the housing 500 and convenient maintenance of components such as the material box 400 inside the housing.

[0072] In this embodiment, the top surface of the housing 500 is a smooth surface without gaps or steps. Since it is seamless and has no steps, there are no dead corners for cleaning. It can be cleaned with just a simple wipe, making it convenient for maintenance and cleaning.

[0073] The box 100 is equipped with casters at the four corners of the bottom for easy movement.

[0074] In this embodiment, the housing 500 has multiple partitions inside, which divide the interior of the housing 500 into a material box receiving cavity, an electronic control board receiving cavity, and a syrup box receiving cavity. The material box receiving cavity is used to receive multiple material boxes 400 and is also the inner cavity of the housing 500 that communicates with the inner cavity of the box body 100, so that the material boxes 400 are in a cold air environment provided by the refrigeration device 200 to achieve a cooling and preservation effect. The electronic control board receiving cavity is located behind the material box receiving cavity and is used to place the electronic control board 307. The upper and lower sides of the electronic control board receiving cavity are provided with a first pull-out mechanism 501 for pulling out the electronic control board 307.
