Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage machine technology, specifically to a quantitative pump device based on infrared grating pulse detection. Background Technology
[0002] In the use of beverage machines such as milk tea machines and coffee machines, a pump device is used to deliver beverages in a measured quantity.
[0003] Existing beverage dispenser dispensing pumps are driven by stepper motors or brushless motors and controlled by photoelectric encoders. However, stepper motors are expensive, have insufficient torque at low speeds, and are prone to losing steps when dispensing high-viscosity liquids. Brushless motors require Hall effect sensors to detect rotor position, have complex control circuits, and are still more expensive than DC motors. Furthermore, the resolution of traditional photoelectric encoders depends on the code disk density, with high-precision encoders costing over 50 yuan and being susceptible to contamination from liquid splashes, affecting their use. As a result, current beverage dispenser dispensing pumps rely on high-cost motors and complex sensors. Utility Model Content
