Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage machine technology, and in particular to a beverage machine with a high-temperature circulating sterilization structure. Background Technology

[0002] A beverage dispenser is a device used for automatic mixing and dispensing of drinks. It can prepare cold or hot beverages according to demand and is commonly found in restaurants, convenience stores, and offices. It can mix beverage concentrates with water in a certain proportion, or quickly make various drinks such as juice, milk tea, and coffee through functions such as heating, cooling, and stirring, effectively improving dispensing efficiency and facilitating bulk supply.

[0003] Existing beverage machines cannot perform comprehensive high-temperature sterilization and disinfection of the water system. Because the water system inside the machine is in a humid environment for a long time, especially the cold tank area, it is easier for bacteria to grow and scale to adhere in the low temperature. If it is not cleaned or disinfected regularly, microorganisms will multiply in the water, which may cause secondary pollution and affect the quality of the water. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a beverage machine with a high-temperature circulating disinfection structure. By cooperating with the circulating water pump and the heating element, the water circuit can be automatically circulated and disinfected under high-temperature conditions, which can effectively inhibit bacterial growth and improve the overall hygiene level of the machine.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a beverage machine with a high-temperature circulating sterilization structure, including a housing. The housing contains a water supply component, a heating component, a cooling component, and a beverage brewing component. The heating component is connected to the water supply component via a heating inlet pipe, and the cooling component is connected to the water supply component via a cooling inlet pipe. The beverage brewing component includes a mixing container with a stirring cup connected to it. The stirring cup has a beverage outlet connected to it, and a T-connector is connected to both the cooling and heating components. A circulating high-temperature sterilization component is provided between the heating and water supply components. This circulating high-temperature sterilization component includes a circulating water pump, and a circulating connecting pipe connects the heating and cooling components. The circulating water pump guides hot water to circulate between the heating, water supply, and cooling components.

[0006] The water supply assembly includes a water tank, a first water supply pipe connected to the water tank, a second water supply pipe and a third water supply pipe connected to the first water supply pipe, a bottled water inlet connector connected to the second water supply pipe, and a direct drinking water inlet pipe connected to the third water supply pipe.

[0007] The circulating water pump is connected to the heating component through a circulating water pumping pipe. A circulating water outlet pipe is connected to the circulating water pump and is connected to the first water supply pipe. A one-way valve is provided on the circulating water outlet pipe.

[0008] The circulation connecting pipe is equipped with a circulation solenoid valve. A hot water drain pipe is provided on one side of the circulation solenoid valve, and a cold water drain pipe is provided on the side of the circulation solenoid valve away from the hot water drain pipe.

[0009] The second water supply pipe is equipped with a bottled water inlet pump, and a one-way valve is provided on one side of the bottled water inlet pump.

[0010] A direct drinking water solenoid valve is installed between the third water supply pipe and the direct drinking water inlet pipe.

[0011] The heating component includes a heating element, which is equipped with a hot water solenoid valve. A hot water outlet pipe is connected to the hot water solenoid valve and is connected to the three-way pipe.

[0012] The refrigeration assembly includes a cooling tank, which is equipped with a cold water solenoid valve. A cold water outlet pipe is connected to the cold water solenoid valve and is connected to the three-way pipe.

[0013] The cold tank is connected to a refrigeration exhaust pipe, and the hot tank is connected to a heating exhaust pipe. The refrigeration exhaust pipe and the heating exhaust pipe are connected to the water tank.

[0014] A water collection box is provided below the beverage outlet, and an overflow pipe is connected to the water tank, which is connected to the water collection box.

[0015] In use, under high-temperature disinfection mode, the circulating water pump and the circulating solenoid valve open simultaneously. Water first flows through the cold tank into the circulating connecting pipe, then through the opened circulating solenoid valve into the hot tank for heating. The heated high-temperature water is then drawn back into the circulating water pump and enters the water tank through the circulating water outlet pipe. From there, it is transported back to the cold tank, achieving continuous circulation of hot water between the cold and hot tanks. The entire circulation process continues, and the system automatically monitors the temperature inside the cold tank. Only when the temperature rises and reaches the preset disinfection temperature standard does the system end the high-temperature disinfection mode.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This invention utilizes a circulating water pump in conjunction with a heating element to achieve automatic water circulation and disinfection under high-temperature conditions, effectively inhibiting bacterial growth and improving the overall hygiene level of the machine.

[0018] This utility model supports two water inlet methods: bottled water and direct drinking water. It is intelligently controlled by a solenoid valve to adapt to various installation environments and user needs.

[0019] This utility model integrates refrigeration, heating and beverage brewing functions, and the three-way pipe can intelligently switch between hot and cold water to meet diverse beverage preparation scenarios, making it convenient and efficient to use. Attached Figure Description
