[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0023] The inventors discovered that during the use of existing beverage machines, it is common for beverage cups to fall out after filling and into the machine casing. This not only makes it difficult to remove the cups but also wastes the beverage and may even soil the machine casing.
[0024] Based on the above findings, this application proposes an anti-drop cup tray for beverage machines. The structural design of the support structure can ensure that the cup is supported when it falls after filling, thus avoiding delays in work time and beverage waste caused by falling cups. At the same time, the design is simple and can improve the user experience. Example
[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 A cup-prevention tray for a beverage machine includes a first connector 7 and a second connector 8 connected to the inner side of the beverage machine, and a first support plate 1, a second support plate 2 and a third support plate 3 for supporting a dropped cup. The first support plate 1, the second support plate 2 and the third support plate 3 are on the same horizontal plane and are connected in sequence, located below the automatic door of the beverage machine for dispensing beverages.
[0026] The first connector 7 is vertically connected to the outer side of the first support plate 1, and the second connector 8 is vertically connected to the outer side of the third support plate 3. This allows the first support plate 1, the second support plate 2, and the third support plate 3 to be more securely fixed to the inner side of the beverage machine, thus better catching any dropped cups.
[0027] The first support plate 1, the second support plate 2, and the third support plate 3 are connected together facing the side of the automatic door to form a first groove 4. The first groove 4 is adapted to the automatic door and facilitates the lifting and lowering of the automatic door. At the same time, the first groove 4 reduces the gap between the side of the first support plate 1, the second support plate 2, and the third support plate 3 facing the automatic door and the inside of the beverage machine, thereby reducing the risk of cups falling into the beverage machine casing.
[0028] The first support plate 1, the second support plate 2, and the third support plate 3 are connected together on the side away from the automatic door to form a second groove 5, which is adapted to the cup holder of the beverage machine. The gap between the first support plate 1, the second support plate 2, and the third support plate 3 on the side away from the automatic door and the cup holder of the beverage machine is smaller, further reducing the risk of cups falling into the beverage machine casing.
[0029] The above structure ensures that when a cup of a beverage is dropped after filling, it is caught, preventing the cup from falling into the machine's casing and avoiding long waiting times. This greatly improves the efficiency of beverage retrieval and saves working people's time, making it more suitable for people's fast-paced lifestyles. It also prevents beverage waste and machine dirt from cups falling. Example
[0030] This embodiment has the same structure as the cup holder for a beverage sealing machine in Embodiment 1. The only difference is that... (Please refer to...) Figure 3 The upper surface of the third support plate 3 is connected to a storage frame 6 for placing straws. This storage frame 6 not only optimizes space utilization but also makes it more convenient for users to drink beverages, making it more user-friendly and greatly improving the user experience.
[0031] The specific usage method of this embodiment is as follows:
[0032] First, place the first support plate 1, the second support plate 2, and the third support plate 3 below the automatic door of the beverage machine for dispensing beverages, so that the first groove 4 corresponds to the automatic door and the second groove 5 corresponds to the cup holder of the beverage machine for dropping cups.
[0033] The first support plate 1, the second support plate 2, and the third support plate 3 are fixed to the inner side of the beverage machine by the first connector 7 and the second connector 8, so that the first support plate 1, the second support plate 2, and the third support plate 3 can be more firmly fixed to the inner side of the beverage machine.
[0034] Place the storage box 6 on the third support plate 3, and put the straw inside the storage box 6.
