Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage machine technology, specifically to a cup-type structure for precise weight measurement of mixed beverages. Background Technology

[0002] Beverage machines use peristaltic pumps to precisely control the flow and delivery of beverages, thereby providing consumers with a variety of flavored drinks. These devices typically have multiple functions, such as selecting beverage types, adjusting beverage concentration, and adding toppings, to meet the needs of different consumers. The peristaltic pump pumps fluid by alternately squeezing and releasing a flexible delivery hose with rollers. When the rollers move forward, they squeeze a portion of the hose, causing that portion of the fluid to move forward. As the rollers move continuously, the fluid is continuously pumped out.

[0003] When using beverage machines, especially when using opaque cups, it is difficult to observe the beverage being poured. Therefore, many milk tea shops and coffee shops place small electronic scales under the cups when pouring beverages, which is extremely inconvenient to use and can easily damage the scales when the beverages are spilled. Utility Model Content

[0004] (I) Technical problem to be solved: In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a cup-type mixed beverage weight accurate measurement structure, which has the advantage of accurate weight measurement and solves the problem of weight measurement in beverage machines.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution: To achieve the above-mentioned purpose of accurate weight measurement, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cup-type mixed beverage weight accurate measurement structure, including a beverage machine body, a water outlet for pouring beverage is provided on one side of the beverage machine body, a waterproof component is provided on the water outlet, an L-shaped tray is provided below the waterproof component, the waterproof component is hollow, the end of the tray is located in the waterproof component, and a sliding plate is provided at the top of the tray, a weighing sensor is provided between the sliding plate and the waterproof component, when a heavy object is placed on the tray, the tray drives the sliding plate to slide downward, and when there is no heavy object, it returns to the original horizontal height, a sliding rheostat is provided in the water outlet, and the current passing through the sliding rheostat is detected, the sliding plate is provided with a contact point to contact the sliding rheostat, and the current passing through the sliding rheostat also changes as the height of the sliding plate changes.

[0006] The water outlet is provided with two claw grooves, and claws are provided in the claw grooves. The claws can restrict the position of the cup placed on the tray.

[0007] The sliding rheostat is connected to the electromagnetic module, and the portion of the claw set in the claw groove is equipped with a permanent magnet. The current intensity connected to the sliding rheostat is related to the current intensity flowing into the electromagnetic module. The greater the current intensity connected to the sliding rheostat, the greater the current intensity flowing into the electromagnetic module.

[0008] A drainage plate is provided below the tray, and the drainage plate has drainage holes.

[0009] The closer the drain hole is to the center, the larger its diameter.

[0010] The tray has an annular groove.

[0011] The waterproof component consists of an outer arc-shaped surface and a clamping structure. The diameter of the clamping structure is larger than the diameter of the through hole at the water outlet of the waterproof component. At the same time, a flange is provided on the outside of the through hole so that the waterproof component completely covers the through hole.

[0012] (III) Beneficial Effects: Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a cup-type structure for accurately measuring the weight of mixed beverages, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This cup-type mixing beverage weight measurement structure, by placing the cup on a tray, directly affects the tray and sliding plate with the weight change caused by the beverage being poured into the cup. The displacement of the sliding plate is proportional to the weight of the beverage, which is reflected in the change of resistance of the sliding rheostat. This design enables precise measurement of beverage weight, ensuring that the amount of beverage prepared each time meets the standard, thus improving the user experience. The linkage design between the sliding rheostat and the electromagnetic module allows the change in beverage weight to be directly converted into a change in electromagnetic force. When the beverage weight increases, the magnetic force of the electromagnetic module strengthens, effectively preventing the cup from tipping over by repelling the permanent magnet in the tray. This intelligent feedback mechanism not only improves safety but also enhances the automation level of the equipment. When using opaque cups, it is often difficult for staff to visually judge the pouring situation. This structure uses current to... This device reflects the weight of the beverage, allowing staff to indirectly understand the amount of beverage in the cup, improving operational convenience and accuracy. When removing the cup, simply lift it gently; the sliding plate automatically resets under spring pressure, the electromagnetic module's magnetic force weakens, and the claw automatically drops, requiring no additional operation and further simplifying the usage process. The claw design not only effectively prevents the cup from tipping over but also provides additional support and stability when the cup is accidentally bumped or moved. Furthermore, the repulsive force design between the electromagnetic module and the permanent magnet ensures the claw responds quickly and functions when needed, improving the device's safety and reliability. This structure is suitable for cups of different sizes and weights; simply placing the cup on the tray automatically performs weight measurement and stability control. This design allows the device to be widely used in various beverage preparation scenarios, improving its versatility and flexibility.

[0014] 2. This cup-type mixed beverage weight measurement structure, through the design of the drain plate and its drain holes, allows water to be quickly discharged through the drain holes when cleaning the tray or when beverages overflow, avoiding bacterial growth and odor caused by water accumulation. In particular, the design of the drain holes with larger diameters closer to the center helps to guide water flow more effectively and ensure smooth drainage. The circular groove design on the tray can serve as a temporary containment area for beverage overflow, preventing the overflowed beverage from flowing directly onto other parts of the equipment or the ground, reducing cleaning difficulty and potential contamination risks. At the same time, the groove design also helps to guide the overflowed beverage to the drain plate, further accelerating the drainage process. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-3A cup-type mixed beverage weight measurement structure includes a beverage machine body 1. The beverage machine body 1 has a water outlet 2 for dispensing beverages on one side. A waterproof component 21 is provided on the water outlet 2, and an L-shaped tray 22 is located below the waterproof component 21. The waterproof component 21 is hollow, with the end of the tray 22 located within it. A sliding plate 221 is provided at the top of the tray 22. A weighing sensor is provided between the sliding plate 221 and the waterproof component 21. When a weight is placed on the tray 22, the tray 22 causes the sliding plate 221 to slide downwards. When there is no weight, it returns to its original horizontal height. A sliding rheostat 211 is provided in the water outlet 2, and current is detected through the rheostat 211. The sliding plate 221 has contacts that engage with the rheostat 211. As the height of the sliding plate 221 changes, the current flowing through the rheostat 211 also changes.

[0025] A drainage plate 3 is provided below the tray 22, and a drainage hole 31 is provided on the drainage plate 3. The diameter of the drainage hole 31 is larger as it is closer to the center.

[0026] The tray 22 is provided with an annular groove.

[0027] See Figures 4-6 The waterproof component 21 consists of an outer arc-shaped surface 2101 and a clamping structure 2103. The diameter of the clamping structure 2103 is larger than the diameter of the through hole of the waterproof component 21 at the water outlet 2. At the same time, a flange 2102 is provided on the outside of the through hole, so that the waterproof component 21 completely covers the through hole. When a large amount of liquid flows through the baffle at the water outlet 2, it can prevent the liquid from entering the equipment through the through hole of the waterproof component 21 and causing internal corrosion and damage.

[0028] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 A cup-type mixed beverage weight measurement structure includes a beverage machine body 1. The beverage machine body 1 has a water outlet 2 for dispensing beverages on one side. A waterproof component 21 is provided on the water outlet 2, and an L-shaped tray 22 is located below the waterproof component 21. The waterproof component 21 is hollow, with the end of the tray 22 located within it. A sliding plate 221 is provided at the top of the tray 22. A weighing sensor is provided between the sliding plate 221 and the waterproof component 21. When a weight is placed on the tray 22, the tray 22 causes the sliding plate 221 to slide downwards. When there is no weight, it returns to its original horizontal height. A sliding rheostat 211 is provided in the water outlet 2, and current is detected through the rheostat 211. The sliding plate 221 has contacts that engage with the rheostat 211. As the height of the sliding plate 221 changes, the current flowing through the rheostat 211 also changes.

[0029] The water outlet 2 is provided with two claw grooves 23, and claws 231 are provided in the claw grooves 23. The claws 231 can restrict the position of the cup placed on the tray 22. The sliding rheostat 211 is connected to the electromagnetic module 212, and the part of the claw 231 located in the claw groove 23 is provided with a permanent magnet. The current intensity connected to the sliding rheostat 211 is related to the current intensity flowing into the electromagnetic module 212. The greater the current intensity connected to the sliding rheostat 211, the greater the current intensity flowing into the electromagnetic module 212.

[0030] When a cup is placed on tray 22, the cup becomes heavier as beverage is poured into it, increasing the pressure on tray 22. This causes the sliding plate 221 in tray 22 to move downwards. Simultaneously, the contact point on sliding plate 221 that contacts the sliding rheostat 211 also shifts downwards, reducing the overall conductive coil. By analyzing the change in current, the weight of the beverage poured into the cup is calculated, and the current flowing into electromagnetic module 212 is increased, thus increasing the magnetic force of electromagnetic module 212. The claw 231, located in the claw groove 23, is partially equipped with a permanent magnet. The magnet and electromagnetic module 212 generate the same magnetism as the permanent magnet. As the magnetic force increases, the repulsive force on the claw 231 increases, and the claw 231 will move upward to prevent the cup from tipping over. At the same time, it allows staff to more intuitively observe the pouring of beverage into the cup, which is more convenient when using opaque cups. When taking out the cup, simply lift the cup up gently. The sliding plate 221 is lifted up by the spring, the resistance of the sliding rheostat 211 increases, the magnetic force of the electromagnetic module 212 weakens, and the claw 231 falls down to facilitate the removal of the cup.

[0031] A drainage plate 3 is provided below the tray 22, and a drainage hole 31 is provided on the drainage plate 3. The diameter of the drainage hole 31 is larger as it is closer to the center.

[0032] The tray 22 is provided with an annular groove.

[0033] See Figures 4-6 The waterproof component 21 consists of an outer arc-shaped surface 2101 and a clamping structure 2103. The diameter of the clamping structure 2103 is larger than the diameter of the through hole of the waterproof component 21 at the water outlet 2. At the same time, a flange 2102 is provided on the outside of the through hole, so that the waterproof component 21 completely covers the through hole. When a large amount of liquid flows through the baffle at the water outlet 2, it can prevent the liquid from entering the equipment through the through hole of the waterproof component 21 and causing internal corrosion and damage.

[0034] Working principle: When a cup is placed on the tray 22, the cup becomes heavier as beverage is poured into it, increasing the pressure on the tray 22. This causes the sliding plate 221 in the tray 22 to move downwards. Simultaneously, the contact point on the sliding plate 221 that contacts the sliding rheostat 211 also shifts downwards, reducing the overall conductive coil. By analyzing the change in current, the weight of the beverage poured into the cup is calculated, and the current flowing into the electromagnetic module 212 is increased, thus increasing the magnetic force of the electromagnetic module 212. The claw 231, located in the claw groove 23, is equipped with a permanent magnet. The magnet and electromagnetic module 212 generate the same magnetism as the permanent magnet. As the magnetic force increases, the repulsive force on the claw 231 increases, and the claw 231 will move upward to prevent the cup from tipping over. At the same time, it allows staff to more intuitively observe the pouring of beverage into the cup, which is more convenient when using opaque cups. When taking out the cup, simply lift the cup up gently. The sliding plate 221 is lifted up by the spring, the resistance of the sliding rheostat 211 increases, the magnetic force of the electromagnetic module 212 weakens, and the claw 231 falls down to facilitate the removal of the cup.
