Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carbonated beverage preparation technology, and in particular to a carbonated beverage apparatus for simultaneous mixing of multiple flavor ingredients. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional carbonated beverage vending machines typically use a pre-mixed model with a single ingredient tank, allowing consumers to choose only pre-made beverages with a fixed formula. With the increasing demand for personalization in new retail scenarios, existing technologies have the following limitations: Commercially available carbonated beverage mixing devices require separate storage tanks for each flavor. In convenience stores, fast-food restaurants, and similar settings, these individual storage tanks can only mix one flavor at a time, making it difficult to offer multiple flavors simultaneously. Adding more flavors necessitates the addition of additional storage tanks. To address these shortcomings, we propose a carbonated beverage device that allows for the simultaneous mixing of multiple flavor ingredients. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a device for the simultaneous mixing of multiple flavor ingredients in carbonated beverages.

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A carbonated beverage apparatus for simultaneous mixing of multiple flavor ingredients includes:

[0006] The raw material storage tank consists of an outer tank body and three inner liner bodies arranged in a 120° circumferential array. The inner liner bodies are fixed to the inner wall of the outer tank body by welding. The top of the outer tank body is provided with a through-type mounting hole that matches the inner liner bodies.

[0008] The drive assembly includes a protective cover fixedly installed at the lower end of the outer tank, a sun gear rotatably installed at the center of the inner wall of the protective cover, planetary gears rotatably installed on the inner wall of the protective cover, an internal gear ring rotatably installed on the inner wall of the protective cover, and a motor fixedly installed at the lower end of the protective cover for driving the sun gear to rotate. The upper end of the planetary gears is connected to the stirring rod via a magnetic coupling.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a carbonated beverage device for simultaneous mixing of multiple flavor ingredients, including: an ingredient storage tank, a synchronous stirring structure, and a temperature control system.

[0028] The raw material storage tank consists of an outer tank body 10 and three inner liner 11 arranged in a 120° circumferential array. The inner liner 11 is fixed to the inner wall of the outer tank body 10 by welding. The three independent inner liner 11 achieve physical isolation of the raw materials to avoid cross-contamination. At the same time, the 120° symmetrical distribution ensures that the raw material storage tank is subjected to balanced force. The top of the outer tank body 10 is provided with a through-hole that matches the inner liner 11. The upper end of each inner liner 11 extends above the top surface of the outer tank body 10. The top of the inner liner 11 is provided with a quick-release sealing cover 50. The upper end of the sealing cover 50 is provided with a pressure relief valve 51. The top of the inner liner 11 extends outside the outer tank body 10 to facilitate individual loading operations. The quick-release sealing cover 50 integrates the pressure relief valve 51, which automatically releases pressure when the pressure of the inner liner 11 exceeds the threshold to prevent pressure accumulation caused by temperature changes or chemical reactions.

[0029] The outer tank 10 has three radially distributed discharge pipes 40 on its side wall. Each discharge pipe 40 is connected to the bottom chamber of the corresponding inner tank 11. The discharge pipe 40 is equipped with a control valve, and the beverage in the inner tank 11 can be discharged using the discharge pipe 40.

[0030] The synchronous stirring structure includes stirring rods 20 disposed in each inner tank 11, and a drive assembly located at the bottom of the outer tank 10. The drive assembly includes a protective cover 30 fixedly installed at the lower end of the outer tank 10, a sun gear 31 rotatably installed at the center of the inner wall of the protective cover 30, three planetary gears 32 rotatably installed on the inner wall of the protective cover 30, an internal gear ring 33 rotatably installed on the inner wall of the protective cover 30, and a motor 34 fixedly installed at the lower end of the protective cover 30 for driving the sun gear 31 to rotate. The upper end of the planetary gears 32 is connected to the stirring rods 20 through a magnetic coupling 35. The sun gear 31, planetary gears 32 and internal gear ring 33 constitute a planetary gear set.

[0031] A certain proportion of water, baking soda, citric acid, and flavorings of different flavors are poured into each inner liner 11. Then, the motor 34 drives the sun gear 31 to rotate. Through the meshing relationship between the planetary gears 32 and the internal gear ring 33, the torque is distributed to the three planetary gears 32 that are distributed at 120°. The magnetic coupling 35 realizes non-contact power transmission, avoiding the risk of dynamic seal leakage at the part of the stirring rod 20 that penetrates the can. The planetary gear set ensures that the three planetary gears 32 maintain synchronous speed, so that the stirring rods 20 in each inner liner 11 can rotate at the same speed and in the same direction. This allows the carbonated beverage ingredients in each inner liner 11 to be stirred. The reaction of baking soda and citric acid produces carbon dioxide, which can then achieve simultaneous mixing and stirring of carbonated beverages with multiple flavors, improving the practicality of the device.

[0032] A temperature control system is installed on the surface of the outer can 10 to cool the beverage. The temperature control system includes a semiconductor cooling chip 60, a cooling fan 61, and a temperature controller 62, which are fixedly installed on the surface of the outer can 10. A water-cooled interlayer 12 is formed between the outer can 10 and the inner liner 11. The temperature sensor probe on the temperature controller 62 and the cooling end of the semiconductor cooling chip 60 extend into the water-cooled interlayer 12. The hot end of the semiconductor cooling chip 60 is connected to a copper heat sink 63 through a phase change thermal conductive gel. When the semiconductor cooling chip 60 is powered on, the cooling end absorbs heat from the water-cooled interlayer 12 to achieve active cooling. The heat from the hot end is conducted to the copper heat sink 63 through the phase change thermal conductive gel and is then forced to be dissipated by convection by the cooling fan 61. The temperature controller 62 monitors the water temperature in the interlayer in real time and adjusts the power of the semiconductor cooling chip 60. The cooling end and the beverage exchange heat indirectly through the water-cooled interlayer 12, avoiding direct contact between the semiconductor cooling chip 60 and the beverage. At the same time, the water medium can evenly distribute the temperature, thereby cooling the beverage in the inner liner 11 and improving the taste.

[0033] Specifically, the working principle and operation method of this utility model are as follows:

[0034] First, pour a certain proportion of water, baking soda, citric acid, and flavorings of different flavors into each inner pot 11. The stirring rod 20 is driven by the planetary gear set to achieve synchronous stirring, triggering the chemical reaction between baking soda and citric acid to produce carbon dioxide and mix the raw materials. After the raw materials are evenly mixed, the temperature control system uses the semiconductor cooling chip 60 to actively cool and maintain the optimal reaction temperature, ensuring the taste and bubble stability of the beverage.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art based on the technical solution and concept of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
