Therefore, according to another aspect of the present invention, a beverage machine device is also provided. The beverage machine cleaning system and beverage machine device according to embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the beverage machine cleaning system 100 may include an external cleaning component 200, a first cleaning pipeline 300, and a spray component 400.
[0028] The external cleaning member 200 can be detachably placed at a dispensing position 520 of the beverage machine 500. The dispensing position 520 can be above a dispensing opening 510 of the beverage machine 500. The dispensing position 520 can be used to place a cup or other container to receive beverage flowing out of the dispensing opening 510 during normal operation of the beverage machine 500. The external cleaning member 200 can include a cleaning liquid container 210 and a drain container 220. The cleaning liquid container 210 can be used to hold cleaning liquid. The cleaning liquid can include, but is not limited to, water, descaling liquid, disinfecting liquid, alkaline solution, and / or acidic solution. The number of cleaning liquid containers 210 can be arbitrary. Different cleaning liquid containers 210 can be used to hold different cleaning liquid. For example, the number of cleaning liquid containers 210 can be two. The two cleaning liquid containers 210 can be used to hold descaling liquid and disinfecting liquid, respectively. The drain container 220 can be disposed between the two cleaning liquid containers 210.
[0029] The first cleaning pipeline 300 can be at least partially disposed inside the beverage machine 500. The first cleaning pipeline 300 can have an input end and an output end.
[0030] The spraying member 400 can be detachably connected to the dispensing opening 510 of the beverage machine 500. The spraying member 400 can be connected to the dispensing opening 510 in any manner, including but not limited to, a twist-and-click connection, a plug-in connection, or a threaded connection. The spraying member 400 can include a cavity 410, a spraying head, and a drain opening 420. The spraying head can be disposed in the cavity 410. The drain opening 420 can be in communication with the cavity 410.
[0031] When the external cleaning member 200 is placed at the dispensing position 520 of the beverage machine 500 and the spraying member 400 is connected to the dispensing opening 510 of the beverage machine 500, the input end of the first cleaning pipeline 300 can be connected to the cleaning liquid container 210, and the output end of the first cleaning pipeline 300 can be connected to the spraying head. The cavity 410 can cover the dispensing opening 510, and the spraying head can be used to spray cleaning liquid toward the dispensing opening 510. The drain opening 420 can be used to drain liquid toward the drain container 220.
[0032] When the beverage machine 500 needs to clean the outlet 510, the staff can place the external cleaning part 200 at the outlet position 520 of the beverage machine 500, and connect the spraying part 400 to the outlet 510 of the beverage machine 500. In this way, the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid container 210 can pass through the first cleaning pipeline 300, and then can be sprayed to the outlet 510 through the spraying head, so that the outlet 510 can be cleaned, and then the beverage and other dirt remaining on the outlet 510 can be separated. During the cleaning process, the waste liquid can fall into the cavity 410 from the outlet 510, and then can be discharged to the waste liquid container 220 through the waste liquid outlet 420. When the cleaning is completed, the staff can disassemble the external cleaning part 200 and the spraying part 400, so that the beverage machine 500 can return to the normal working state. In this way, the outlet position 520 can place a cup or other container to receive the beverage flowing out of the outlet 510. Moreover, the disassembled cleaning liquid container 210 can also facilitate the addition of cleaning liquid, and the disassembled waste liquid container 220 can facilitate the pouring out and cleaning of the waste liquid.
[0033] In summary, the beverage machine cleaning system 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application can clean the outlet 510 of the beverage machine 500 to avoid the breeding of bacteria on the outlet 510, so that the health and safety of the drinker can be guaranteed. Moreover, when cleaning is not needed, the external cleaning part 200 and the spraying part 400 can also be disassembled. Therefore, the beverage machine cleaning system 100 will not affect the normal work of the beverage machine 500.
[0034] Exemplarily, when the beverage machine 500 is used for business, the external cleaning part 200 and the spraying part 400 can be connected after the store is closed in the evening, so that the outlet 510 can be cleaned. Then the outlet 510 can be cleaned again before the store is opened in the morning (for example, 30 minutes before the store is opened). In this way, the cleanliness of the outlet 510 can be guaranteed, and the normal business will not be affected.
[0035] Exemplarily, the first cleaning pipeline 300 can be provided with a booster pump 340. The booster pump 340 can increase the pressure of the cleaning liquid, so that the spraying head can spray cleaning liquid with higher pressure, and then the cleaning effect of the outlet 510 can be improved.
[0036] Exemplarily, the first cleaning pipeline 300 can further be provided with a temperature detector 310. The temperature detector 310 can be used to detect the temperature of the cleaning liquid in the first cleaning pipeline 300. The temperature detector 310 can adopt various types of temperature detectors known in the art or possibly appearing in the future, including but not limited to temperature sensors or temperature probes. In this way, the relevant personnel can understand the relationship between the temperature of the cleaning liquid and the cleaning effect of the outlet 510, so that the cleaning liquid container 210 can be filled with cleaning liquid of a corresponding temperature according to the relationship, so that the cleaning effect of the outlet 510 meets the requirements.
[0037] Exemplarily, the first cleaning pipeline 300 can further be provided with a concentration detector 320. The concentration detector 320 can be used to detect the concentration of the cleaning liquid in the first cleaning pipeline 300. The concentration detector 320 can adopt various types of concentration detectors known in the art or possibly appearing in the future, including but not limited to concentration sensors or TDS (Total dissolved solids) probes. In this way, the relevant personnel can understand the relationship between the concentration of the cleaning liquid and the cleaning effect of the outlet 510, so that the cleaning liquid container 210 can be filled with cleaning liquid of a corresponding concentration according to the relationship, so that the cleaning effect of the outlet 510 meets the requirements.
[0038] Exemplarily, the first cleaning pipeline 300 can further be provided with a flow meter 330. The flow meter 330 can be used to detect the flow of the cleaning liquid in the first cleaning pipeline 300. The flow meter 330 can be used to detect the flow of the cleaning liquid in the first cleaning pipeline 300. The flow meter 330 can adopt various types of flow meters known in the art or possibly appearing in the future, including but not limited to electromagnetic flow meters or impeller flow meters. In this way, the relevant personnel can understand the relationship between the flow of the cleaning liquid and the cleaning effect of the outlet 510, so that the flow of the cleaning liquid can be controlled by the booster pump 340 or other means according to the relationship, so that the cleaning effect of the outlet 510 meets the requirements. The positional relationship of the temperature detector 310, the concentration detector 320, the flow meter 330 and the booster pump 340 on the first cleaning pipeline 300 can be arbitrary.
[0039] Exemplarily, the bottom of the liquid discharge container 220 can be provided with a discharge outlet. The discharge outlet can be used to communicate to the discharge groove of the beverage machine 500. In this way, the waste liquid discharged by the liquid discharge port 420 into the liquid discharge container 220 can flow out to the discharge groove through the discharge outlet. In this way, the relevant personnel do not need to manually pour out the waste liquid in the liquid discharge container 220, and the use experience is better.
[0040] Exemplarily, the beverage machine cleaning system 100 can further comprise a second cleaning pipeline 800. The input end of the first cleaning pipeline 300 and the input end of the second cleaning pipeline 800 can be connected to the preset connection interface on the beverage machine 500. The output end of the second cleaning pipeline 800 can be optionally connected to the dispensing pipeline 600. That is, the output end of the second cleaning pipeline 800 can be connected to the dispensing pipeline 600 or not. The dispensing pipeline 600 can be connected to the dispensing opening 510. During the normal operation of the beverage machine 500, the beverage can flow out through the dispensing pipeline 600 and then through the dispensing opening 510. When the beverage machine 500 needs to clean the dispensing pipeline 600, the relevant personnel can place the external cleaning piece 200 at the dispensing position 520 of the beverage machine 500, connect the spraying piece 400 to the dispensing opening 510 of the beverage machine 500, and connect the output end of the second cleaning pipeline 800 to the dispensing pipeline 600. In this way, the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid container 210 can clean the second cleaning pipeline 800. During the cleaning process, the beverage and other dirt remaining in the second cleaning pipeline 800 can flow out of the dispensing opening 510, fall into the cavity 410, and then be discharged to the liquid discharge container 220 through the liquid discharge opening 420.
[0041] Exemplarily, the beverage machine cleaning system 100 can further comprise a controller and an internal cleaning liquid container 230. The internal cleaning liquid container 230 can be arranged in the beverage machine 500. Moreover, the internal cleaning liquid container 230 can be used to contain cleaning liquid. The cleaning liquid contained in the internal cleaning liquid container 230 can be the same as or different from the cleaning liquid contained in the cleaning liquid container 210. The number of the internal cleaning liquid containers 230 can be arbitrary. Different internal cleaning liquid containers 230 can be used to contain different cleaning liquid. The input end of the first cleaning pipeline 300 and the input end of the second cleaning pipeline 800 can be connected to the internal cleaning liquid container 230. The controller can be used to control the first cleaning pipeline 300 to be connected to the cleaning liquid container 210 or the internal cleaning liquid container 230, and control the second cleaning pipeline 800 to be connected to the cleaning liquid container 210 or the internal cleaning liquid container 230. The controller can be built by using electronic elements such as timers, comparators, registers, and digital logic circuits, or realized by using processor chips such as single-chip microcomputers, microprocessors, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), digital signal processors (DSPs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), programmable logic arrays (PLAs), application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and their peripheral circuits.
[0042] Exemplarily, the beverage machine cleaning system 100 can further comprise a first water inlet pipe. An outlet end of the first water inlet pipe can be connected to the built-in cleaning liquid container 230. Also, an inlet end of the first water inlet pipe can be configured to be connected to a water source. In this way, water provided by the water source can enter the built-in cleaning liquid container 230 through the first water inlet pipe. The water can be used as cleaning liquid to clean the outlet 510. Alternatively, the water can be mixed with cleaning agent in the built-in cleaning liquid container 230 to form cleaning liquid with a required concentration. When the built-in cleaning liquid container 230 is provided with two interfaces, the built-in cleaning liquid container 230 can be connected to the first water inlet pipe and the first cleaning pipe 300 at the same time, so that the built-in cleaning liquid container 230 can receive water and provide cleaning liquid to the spray head at the same time. When the built-in cleaning liquid container 230 is provided with one interface, the controller can control the built-in cleaning liquid container 230 to be connected to the first water inlet pipe or the first cleaning pipe 300.
[0043] Exemplarily, the beverage machine cleaning system 100 can further comprise a second water inlet pipe.

Also, an inlet end of the second water inlet pipe can be configured to be connected to a water source. In this way, water provided by the water source can enter the cleaning liquid container 210 through the second water inlet pipe. The water can be used as cleaning liquid to clean the outlet 510. Alternatively, the water can be mixed with cleaning agent in the cleaning liquid container 210 to form cleaning liquid with a required concentration. When the cleaning liquid container 210 is provided with two interfaces, the cleaning liquid container 210 can be connected to the second water inlet pipe and the first cleaning pipe 300 at the same time, so that the cleaning liquid container 210 can receive water and provide cleaning liquid to the spray head at the same time. When the cleaning liquid container 210 is provided with one interface, the controller can control the cleaning liquid container 210 to be connected to the second water inlet pipe or the first cleaning pipe 300.
