Detailed Implementation

[0017] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a water supply system for an automatic protein powder beverage vending machine includes a first distribution valve 1. The first distribution valve 1 has two inlet and one outlet ports. One inlet port of the first distribution valve 1 is connected to a filter 2, which is connected to an inlet pipe 21. The inlet pipe 21 is used to connect to an external water supply. The external water supply passes through the inlet pipe 21 and supplies water to the filter 2, which filters the water to meet direct drinking standards. The other inlet port of the first distribution valve 1 is connected to a first water pump 3, which is connected to a first suction pipe 31 for inserting a bottled water container. The first suction pipe 31 is placed inside the bottled water container, and the first water pump 3 draws water and delivers it to the first distribution valve 1. The first distribution valve 1 is used for water source selection, allowing it to choose between external water supplied by the filter 2 or bottled water supplied by the first water pump 3, depending on the environment. The outlet port of the first distribution valve 1 is connected to a first multi-way valve 4, which is used for distributing water supply through multiple channels.

[0019] Two ports of the first multi-way valve 4 are connected to a hot water device 5 and a cold water device 6 via water pipes, respectively. The hot water device 5 heats the water passing through it to supply hot water, while the cold water device 6 chills the water passing through it to supply cold water. The outlet of the hot water device 5 is connected to a hot water pipe 51, which is equipped with a hot water solenoid valve 52 and a hot water flow meter 53. The solenoid valve 52 controls the on / off state of the hot water pipe 51, and the flow meter 53 controls the hot water flow rate. The outlet of the cold water device 6 is connected to a cold water pipe 61, which is equipped with a cold water solenoid valve 62 and a cold water flow meter 63. The solenoid valve 62 controls the on / off state of the cold water pipe 61, and the flow meter 63 controls the cold water flow rate. The water supply system of the protein powder beverage vending machine also includes a centralized liquid distribution port 7, to which both the hot water pipe 51 and the cold water pipe 61 extend and connect, allowing for the collection of hot or cold water.

[0020] One of the ports of the first multi-way valve 4 is connected to a flushing pipe 8. A flushing solenoid valve 81 is provided on the flushing pipe 8. The flushing pipe 8 is used to connect to the milk delivery pipe 16 inside the protein powder beverage vending machine. When the flushing solenoid valve 81 is opened, the flushing pipe 8 can flush the milk delivery pipe 16 to prevent milk residue from deteriorating inside the milk delivery pipe.

[0021] The water supply system of the protein powder beverage vending machine also includes a second distribution valve 9. The second distribution valve 9 has two inlet ports and one outlet port. One inlet port of the second distribution valve 9 is connected to the filter 2, and the water filtered by the filter 2 can also be supplied to the second distribution valve 9. The other inlet port of the second distribution valve 9 is connected to a second water pump 10. The second water pump 10 is connected to a second water pipe 101 for inserting bottled water containers. The second water pipe 101 is inserted into the bottled water, and the second water pump 10 can draw the bottled water out and supply it to the second distribution valve 9. The second distribution valve 9 can increase the number of water supply points for the protein powder beverage vending machine and also increase the quantity of bottled water, avoiding the problem of insufficient water supply at a single point. The outlet port of the second distribution valve 9 is connected to a second multi-way valve 11 for distributing the water supply. Two ports of the second multi-way valve 11 are respectively connected to two water supply pipes 12 for connecting the ice-making device 14 and the cleaning device 15 of the protein powder beverage vending machine, which can supply water to the ice-making device 14 and the cleaning device 15 of the protein powder beverage vending machine. A cleaning solenoid valve 13 is provided on the water supply pipe connected to the cleaning device 15. The cleaning solenoid valve 13 can open the water supply pipe 12 that supplies water to the cleaning device 15.

[0022] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When the water supply is external, the water inlet pipe 21 is connected to the external water supply, and the first distribution valve 1 and the second distribution valve 9 are in the state of connecting the filter 2. When bottled water is used for water supply, the first water pump 31 and the second water pump 101 are respectively placed into two bottles of water, and the first distribution valve 1 and the second distribution valve 9 are respectively in the state of connecting the first water pump 3 and the second water pump 10. When water is supplied to the first distribution valve 1 and the second distribution valve 9, the water from the first distribution valve 1 is supplied to the hot water device 5, the cold water device 6 and the flushing pipe 8 through the first multi-way valve 4, and the water from the second distribution valve 9 is supplied to the ice-making device 14 and the cleaning device 15 through the second multi-way valve 11.

[0023] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any obvious substitutions are within the protection scope of this utility model without departing from its inventive concept.
