[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The self-service beverage machine of the first aspect of this utility model includes: a frame 100 with a shelf 110; a storage mechanism disposed below the shelf 110; a refrigeration mechanism disposed below the shelf 110 for heating raw materials; and a dispensing mechanism including a dispensing component 210, which is connected to the storage mechanism and disposed above the shelf 110.

[0025] By housing the refrigeration and storage mechanisms under the shelf 110 of the frame 100, while the discharge component 210 is set on the shelf 110, the occupancy of the shelf 110 surface is reduced, making it easier to arrange and utilize the shelf 110 surface, and the overall appearance is beautiful and simple.

[0026] Understandably, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2The discharge component 210 includes a support pipe 211 and a mixing valve 212. The support pipe 211 is mounted on the platform 110, and at least one mixing valve 212 is provided, positioned above the support pipe 211. The support pipe 211 elevates the mixing valve 212. By pressing the switch of the mixing valve 212, the raw materials are conveyed into the mixing valve 212 for mixing, and then discharged from the outlet. Multiple mixing valves 212 can be provided, allowing for configuration based on the type of beverage, providing users with more options. Furthermore, the multiple mixing valves 212 are all located at the upper end of the support pipe 211, avoiding obstruction of the platform 110 surface. This satisfies diverse needs without occupying the platform 110, balancing practicality and aesthetics.

[0027] Understandably, referring to Figures 1 to 3 The refrigeration mechanism includes a water tank 310 and a refrigeration component 320, which is used to lower the temperature of the water in the water tank 310. The material storage mechanism is placed inside the water tank 310, and the refrigeration component 320 lowers the temperature of the water in the water tank 310, thereby cooling the raw materials and improving the taste of the beverage.

[0028] Understandably, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The water tank 310 is equipped with a stirring assembly, which includes a motor 331 and a stirrer 332. The motor 331 is located on the outside of the water tank 310, and the stirrer 332 is located on the inside of the water tank 310. The motor 331 drives the stirrer 332 to rotate. The stirrer 332 agitates the water in the water tank 310, preventing the cooling end 321 of the cooling component 320 from freezing during cooling, which would affect the cooling effect.

[0029] Understandably, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The storage mechanism includes a first storage component and a second storage component. The discharge ends of both the first and second storage components are connected to the mixing valve 212. The first storage component can be used to store carbonated water, and the second storage component can be used to store jam. Different flavored beverages can be made by mixing different jams with carbonated water.

[0030] Understandably, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3The first storage component includes a first container 412 and a first delivery pump 411. The inlet of the first delivery pump 411 is connected to the first container 412, and the outlet of the first delivery pump 411 is connected to the mixing valve 212. The first container 412 is placed inside a water tank 310. By placing the first container 412 inside the water tank 310, it is cooled by water, which lowers the temperature of the raw materials inside the first container 412. For example, for raw materials that are not easy to freeze, such as carbonated water, the temperature of the raw materials is kept low. During use, the first delivery pump 411 delivers the raw materials to the mixing valve 212, reducing the waiting time for cooling and making it convenient and efficient.

[0031] Understandably, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The second storage component includes a coil 422 and a second delivery pump 421. The coil 422 is located inside the water tank 310. One end of the coil 422 is connected to the mixing valve 212, and the other end is connected to the discharge end of the second delivery pump 421. The inlet end of the second delivery pump 421 is used to connect to an external container. The inlet end of the second delivery pump 421 is connected to the external container, which is located outside the water tank 310 to prevent the raw materials inside the container from freezing due to low temperature. For example, if it is jam, the raw materials can be replenished by directly replacing the external container after consumption, which is convenient and quick. The second delivery pump 421 delivers the raw materials into the coil 422. The coil 422 is curved and spiral in shape, which increases the contact area between the raw materials and the coil 422, as well as the stroke of the raw materials within the coil 422, thereby improving the cooling effect of the coil 422, reducing the cooling time, and improving the user experience. By placing the coil 422 inside the water tank 310, the coil 422 itself is kept at a low temperature. After the raw material enters the coil 422, the temperature of the raw material can be quickly reduced, thus shortening the cooling time.

[0032] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
