Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of beverage machine technology, and in particular to a three-in-one rotating drum for extracting liquid and dispensing cups in a beverage making and selling machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the modern beverage industry, consumers have placed higher demands on the taste, quality, and production efficiency of beverages. Beverage machines, as indispensable equipment in the beverage preparation process, are widely used in coffee shops, milk tea shops, convenience stores, restaurant chains, and home settings. The performance of their extraction devices directly affects the final flavor and preparation effect of the beverage. The rotating drum of the extraction device, as one of its core components, is responsible for key functions such as material fixation, rotation, limiting, and support. A reasonable structural design is crucial for improving the stability, lifespan, and user experience of the equipment.

[0003] A typical beverage machine generally includes a main body, a liquid storage device, an extraction device, a heating or cooling system, and a dispensing mechanism. The extraction device is the core component, usually consisting of a rotating drum, a filter, and an extraction chamber. In conventional designs, the drum is driven by a motor, and a limiting structure secures the material, ensuring even force distribution during extraction. Some beverage machines use a pressure pump or gravity flow to extract the beverage by passing water through the material. To enhance flavor, conventional designs typically include a heating or cooling unit to control the extraction temperature. Furthermore, to improve versatility, some beverage machines feature replaceable filters or powder containers to accommodate different beverage preparation needs.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventor believes that there are technical defects in the stability, clamping firmness, shock absorption capacity, and adaptability during the process from dropping the cup to removing the cup after extraction. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application discloses a three-in-one rotating drum for extracting liquid and dispensing cup in a freshly made beverage machine, which aims to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A three-in-one rotating drum for extracting liquid and dispensing cups in a beverage making and selling machine includes a base, a rotating component inside the base, and a limiting component on the upper surface of the base.

[0008] The rotating assembly includes a cavity inside the base, a motor is fixedly mounted on the inner bottom wall of the cavity, and the output shaft of the motor passes through the base and extends to the outside of the base.

[0009] The limiting assembly includes a rotating cylinder fixedly installed on the output shaft of a motor. A groove is provided on one side of the rotating cylinder. Arc-shaped plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the groove. A cavity is provided inside the arc-shaped plate. An airbag is fixedly installed inside the cavity. A pressure plate is fixedly installed on the top of the airbag. A pressure rod is fixedly installed on the top of the pressure plate. The top of the pressure rod passes through the arc-shaped plate and extends to the outside of the arc-shaped plate. The top of the arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected by a protective plate. An airbag strip is fixedly installed on the inner side of the arc-shaped plate. One side of the airbag strip is connected to one side of the airbag through a connecting pipe.

[0010] The operation of the motor is intelligently controlled by the beverage machine's control system.

[0011] With the addition of rotating and limiting components, the position of the rotating cylinder can be adjusted during use. At the same time, when the beverage is poured into the cup, the cylinder can automatically press against the surface of the cup to maintain its stability and prevent the liquid inside the cup from sloshing and spilling when the beverage is being received and the rotating cylinder is rotating.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating component of the beverage machine's extraction device is driven by a motor. Its output shaft passes through the base and drives the rotating drum to make precise angle adjustments. The position of the rotating drum can be adjusted according to different extraction needs to adapt to different cup sizes or containers, improving the equipment's compatibility and adaptability. The limiting component, through a rotating motor and a grating sensor forming an intelligent clamping system, automatically adapts to different cup shapes. During the beverage pouring process, it gently clamps the outer wall of the cup, preventing shaking and improving stability. The clamping function of the limiting component reduces liquid sloshing, especially when the rotating drum is rotating, preventing beverage spillage due to inertia, improving the accuracy of beverage preparation and the cleanliness of the equipment. The device also has efficient cleaning and maintenance functions. The groove in the rotating drum facilitates the discharge of residue, reduces liquid leakage, and improves the equipment's hygiene performance. It achieves key functions such as precise rotation adjustment, automatic cup fixation, and anti-shaking and anti-spillage, while also ensuring hygiene and ease of cleaning.

[0013] Optionally, a mounting plate is fixedly installed on the bottom of the base. The mounting plate has mounting holes, which are oblong holes, and the lower surface of the mounting plate has anti-slip texture.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and using the mounting plate, installation is convenient during use, and the stability of the rotating cylinder installation is maintained.

[0015] Optionally, a support assembly is provided on the upper surface of the base. The support assembly includes an annular groove formed on the base. A round tube is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the annular groove. A buffer spring is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the round tube. A piston is fixedly installed on the top of the buffer spring. A ball is embedded in the top of the piston. The surface of the ball is in rolling contact with the lower surface of the rotating cylinder.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution and through the set support components, the rotation of the rotating cylinder is facilitated during use, the bottom of the rotating cylinder is supported, the rotating cylinder is prevented from shaking, the rotation of the rotating cylinder is facilitated, and the resistance of the rotating cylinder is reduced.

[0017] Optionally, a return spring is provided around the surface of the pressure bar, with the top of the return spring fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective plate and the bottom of the return spring fixedly connected to the top of the arc-shaped plate.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution and using the reset spring, the pressure rod can be easily reset during use, thereby preventing the airbag from being squeezed when the protective plate is not under pressure.

[0019] Optionally, the bottom of the base has air holes, which are arc-shaped.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the air vents facilitate heat dissipation of the motor during use, avoiding the motor being located in a confined space.

[0021] Optionally, a protective strip is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the groove on the rotating cylinder. The inner side of the protective strip has anti-slip texture, and the protective strip is made of silicone.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution and using the protective strip, the cup body can be supported and limited on one side during use, thus increasing the stability of the cup body.

[0023] Optionally, a cleaning hole communicating with the groove is provided on one side of the rotating cylinder, and an arc-shaped guard plate is inserted into the groove of the rotating cylinder. The bottom of the arc-shaped guard plate fits against the inner bottom wall of the groove, and a groove is provided on one side of the arc-shaped guard plate.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc-shaped protective plate can be pulled out during use to clean the inside of the groove.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] 1. With the addition of rotating and limiting components, the position of the rotating cylinder can be adjusted during use. At the same time, when the beverage is poured into the cup, it can automatically squeeze the surface of the cup to maintain the stability of the cup and prevent the liquid from sloshing and spilling out when the rotating cylinder is rotating.

[0027] 2.

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0035] This application discloses a three-in-one rotating drum for extracting liquid and dispensing cups in a beverage making and selling machine. (Refer to...) Figures 1-5 It is assembled from a base 1, a rotating component 2 and a limiting component 3. The rotating component 2 is provided inside the base 1, and the limiting component 3 is provided on the upper surface of the base 1.

[0036] The rotating assembly 2 includes a cavity inside the base 1. A motor 200 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the cavity. The output shaft of the motor 200 passes through the base 1 and extends to the outside of the base 1.

[0037] The limiting component 3 includes a rotating cylinder 300 fixedly installed on the output shaft of a motor 200. The motor 200 includes, but is not limited to, a servo motor or a stepper motor. The operation of the motor 200 is executed by commands from the control system of the beverage machine. A groove is provided on one side of the rotating cylinder 300. Arc-shaped plates 301 are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the groove. A cavity is provided inside the arc-shaped plate 301. An airbag 302 is fixedly installed inside the cavity. A pressure plate 303 is fixedly installed on the top of the airbag 302. A pressure rod 304 is fixedly installed on the top of the pressure plate 303. The top of the pressure rod 304 penetrates through the arc-shaped plate 301 and extends... The top of the arc-shaped plate 301 is fixedly connected to the outside of the arc-shaped plate 301 via a protective plate 305. An airbag strip 306 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the arc-shaped plate 301. One side of the airbag strip 306 is connected to one side of the airbag 302 via a connecting pipe 307. The rotating component 2 and the limiting component 3 are provided so that the position of the rotating cylinder 300 can be adjusted during use. At the same time, when the beverage is poured into the cup, it can automatically squeeze the surface periphery of the cup to maintain the stability of the cup and prevent the liquid in the cup from shaking and spilling when the beverage is received and the rotating cylinder 300 rotates. A return spring 308 is arranged around the surface of the pressure rod 304. The top of the return spring 308 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective plate 305, and the bottom of the return spring 308 is fixedly connected to the top of the arc plate 301. The return spring 308 facilitates the reset of the pressure rod 304 during use. The pressure rod 304 is raised and lowered by adjusting the positive and negative poles of the lifting motor. The pressure and distance of the pressure rod 304 are controlled by controlling the current of the lifting motor, thereby preventing the airbag 302 from being squeezed when the protective plate 305 is not under pressure. The rotating cylinder 300 is concave. A protective strip 309 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the groove. The inner side of the protective strip 309 has anti-slip texture and is made of silicone. The protective strip 309 can support and limit one side of the cup body during use, increasing the stability of the cup body. A cleaning hole communicating with the groove is opened on one side of the rotating cylinder 300. An arc-shaped protective plate 310 is inserted into the groove of the rotating cylinder 300. The bottom of the arc-shaped protective plate 310 fits against the inner bottom wall of the groove. A groove is opened on one side of the arc-shaped protective plate 310. The arc-shaped protective plate 310 can be pulled out during use to clean the inside of the groove.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 A mounting plate 4 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the base 1. The mounting plate 4 has mounting holes, which are oblong holes. The lower surface of the mounting plate 4 has anti-slip texture. The mounting plate 4 facilitates installation during use and maintains the stability of the rotating cylinder 300. The bottom of the base 1 has a discharge hole, which is an arc-shaped hole. The air hole facilitates heat dissipation of the motor 200 during use and prevents the motor 200 from being located in a confined space.

[0039] Reference Figure 5 A support component 5 is provided on the upper surface of the base 1. The support component 5 includes an annular groove formed on the base 1. A round tube 500 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the annular groove. A buffer spring 501 is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the round tube 500. A piston 502 is fixedly installed on the top of the buffer spring 501. A ball bearing 503 is embedded in the top of the piston 502. The surface of the ball bearing 503 is in rolling contact with the lower surface of the rotating cylinder 300. The support component 5 facilitates the rotation of the rotating cylinder 300 during use, provides support to the bottom of the rotating cylinder 300, prevents the rotating cylinder 300 from shaking, facilitates the rotation of the rotating cylinder 300, and also reduces the resistance of the rotating cylinder 300.

[0040] The implementation principle of the three-in-one rotating drum for extraction, dispensing, and cup dispensing in this embodiment of the beverage making and selling machine is as follows: The rotating drum 300 is placed in the desired installation position and installed using the mounting plate 4. The beverage machine control system then intelligently controls the motor 200 according to a preset program. The motor 200 drives the rotating drum 300 to the cup-dropping position, whereupon the cup falls into the groove of the rotating drum 300. The motor 200 then drives the rotating drum 300 to the extraction position, and the beverage is poured into the cup within the groove. The increased weight of the cup then presses against the protective plate 305. The pressure rod 304 compresses the airbag 302 under the pressure plate 303. The gas in the airbag 302 enters the airbag strip 306 through the connecting pipe 307. The increased volume of the airbag strip 306 provides support to the periphery of the cup body, reducing the wobbling of the cup body. Then, the motor 200 drives the rotating cylinder 300 to continue rotating, so that the groove is located at the dispensing port of the beverage machine. Since the cup body is set as an inverted cone, the cup body in the groove is pulled upward. The force of pulling out only needs to be greater than the friction between the airbag strip 306 and the cup body. The entire process of the beverage machine from cup dropping, extraction and cup dispensing is completed.

[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
