Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of milk tea machine technology, and in particular to a milk tea machine with a refrigerator with refrigeration pipes. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, the demand for and level of beverage consumption are also constantly rising, making freshly made beverage shops one of the fastest-growing industries. Freshly made beverage shops can be seen everywhere, and you can often see long queues.

[0003] Most freshly made beverage shops currently use purely manual preparation methods, offering a wide variety of beverages to meet the needs of different consumers. However, problems such as low beverage preparation efficiency and inconsistent taste of the liquid remain, especially for viscous liquid beverages, such as yogurt, where it is still difficult to automatically dispense precise amounts of such viscous liquids.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, a Chinese patent discloses an automatic milk tea machine (application number 201810140651.9), comprising a low-temperature preservation box, an ice maker box, and a room-temperature box. A guide rail box is located at the front of each box. The upper part of the low-temperature preservation box contains a sauce output device, a large fruit particle output device, a topping output device, and a juice pump. A juice tank is located in the middle of the low-temperature preservation box. The ice maker box contains a fully automatic ice maker. The upper part of the room-temperature box contains a cup dispenser, a fructose output device, a powder output device, and a stirring device. The middle of the room-temperature box contains tea and purified water outlets. The lower part of the room-temperature box is a water bucket placement area. A milk tea cup conveying platform is located within the guide rail box. However, in this milk tea machine, only the low-temperature preservation box has a refrigeration function. After the sauce output device, large fruit particle output device, topping output device, and juice pump complete their output, the remaining liquid remains in the room-temperature pipes, making it prone to spoilage and affecting the taste and texture of the milk tea.

The gear pump 42 is also connected to the discharge pipe 35 through a pipe. When the gear pump 42 is activated, it draws the fructose in the fructose tank 41 into the discharge pipe 35, thereby discharging the fructose. The feed tube 35 falls into the measuring cup. In particular, a filter screen 47 is provided at the feed pipe interface of the fructose tank 41 to filter impurities in the fructose and prevent clogging of the pipe. The heating plate 44 is set close to the lower end of the fructose tank 41. The liquid level detector 45 is installed on the side wall of the fructose tank 41 to detect the liquid level in the fructose tank 41.
