Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of beverage machine technology, and in particular to an extraction device for a novel commercial beverage making and selling machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the beverage market, consumers are increasingly demanding higher quality and better taste from their drinks. Commercial beverage preparation machines, as convenient and efficient beverage making equipment, have been widely used in the market. However, existing commercial beverage preparation machines have some problems in the extraction process, such as inaccurate capsule positioning, low extraction efficiency, and complex operation. These problems directly affect the quality of the beverages and the consumer experience.

[0003] Specifically, traditional beverage machine extraction devices typically use a simple mechanical structure to deliver beverage capsules into the extraction position. This method has the problem of inaccurate capsule positioning, which can easily cause the capsules to flip or shift during the extraction process, thus affecting the extraction effect. Furthermore, it is not easy to achieve extraction and capsule shell detachment.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues and improve the extraction efficiency and beverage quality of commercial on-demand beverage machines, this application proposes a novel extraction device for commercial on-demand beverage machines. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application discloses an extraction device for a novel commercial on-demand beverage machine. Through innovative design of the feeding mechanism and guiding components, this device achieves precise guidance and positioning of the capsules, preventing capsule flipping or displacement and improving the stability and consistency of the extraction process. Furthermore, by optimizing the structure and operation of the extraction mechanism, the device improves extraction efficiency and ease of operation, meeting the high standards required for commercial on-demand beverage production.

[0006] An extraction device for a new type of commercial on-demand beverage machine includes an extraction mechanism and a feeding mechanism. The extraction mechanism includes a shell and a base. A capsule support frame is rotatably installed inside the shell, and a top cover is fixedly installed on the top of the shell. An installation hole is opened on the surface of the top cover, and a movable sleeve is inserted into the inner wall of the installation hole. A needle tube is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the movable sleeve. An extraction position is opened on the upper surface of the shell, and the position of the needle tube corresponds to the extraction position.

[0007] The feeding mechanism includes a capsule conveying channel fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer shell. Electric rotating parts are fixedly installed on both sides of the capsule conveying channel to feed the capsules into the extraction position. The telescopic ends of the two electric telescopic rods extend into the interior of the capsule conveying channel and are fixedly connected to a guide assembly, which is used to guide the capsules to fall.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the capsule conveying channel in the feeding mechanism, together with the electric rotating parts, delivers the capsules into the extraction position, effectively achieving precise guidance and stable positioning of the capsules. This avoids problems such as capsule flipping, jamming, displacement, slippage, and bouncing during the traditional feeding process, thus improving the stability and continuity of equipment operation. The movable sleeve and piercing needle tube in the extraction mechanism are reasonably designed, enabling efficient completion of the piercing and extraction process based on precise capsule positioning, thereby improving the uniformity of liquid output and the consistency of extraction.

[0009] Optionally, the guide assembly includes a strip-shaped drive box, the lower surface of which has two shaft holes. A drive shaft and a driven shaft are rotatably disposed on the inner walls of the two shaft holes, and a first limiting guide roller and a second limiting guide roller are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the drive shaft and the driven shaft, respectively.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the strip drive box, drive shaft, driven shaft, and limiting guide roller in the guiding assembly work together to further improve the guiding accuracy and positional stability of the capsules during the feeding process. The drive shaft and driven shaft respectively drive the first limiting guide roller and the second limiting guide roller to form a pair of rotational limiting structures, which can effectively clamp and guide the capsules when they enter the conveying channel, preventing the capsules from deviating, tilting, or getting stuck during the falling or pushing process, and ensuring that the capsules smoothly and accurately enter the designated position of the extraction mechanism. The structure has good adaptability and adjustability, and can be adapted to capsules of different specifications, improving the compatibility and versatility of the equipment, meeting the diverse needs of beverage capsules, and further enhancing the reliability and intelligence level of the whole machine operation.

[0011] Optionally, a drive motor is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the bar-shaped drive box. The rotating shaft of the drive motor extends into the interior of the bar-shaped drive box and is fixedly connected to the top end of the drive shaft. A drive synchronous pulley is fixedly mounted on the surface of the drive shaft, and a driven synchronous pulley is fixedly mounted on the surface of the driven shaft. A transmission belt is installed between the drive synchronous pulley and the driven synchronous pulley.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor on the strip drive box can actively drive the drive shaft. The drive synchronous pulley on its surface is linked with the driven synchronous pulley through the transmission belt to realize the synchronous drive of the driven shaft. Through belt drive, efficient coordinated rotation between the two shafts is achieved, thereby driving the limit guide roller at its bottom to rotate synchronously. This effectively enhances the stability and synchronicity of the clamping on both sides during capsule guidance, prevents capsule tilting or deflection due to inconsistent speed, and improves guidance accuracy. The electric control method can improve the degree of automation and enhance the intelligent control capability and operational reliability of the whole machine.

[0013] Optionally, the capsule delivery channel is positioned corresponding to the extraction position, the guide assembly is located directly above the extraction position, and a grating sensor is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the capsule delivery channel, with the position of the grating sensor corresponding to the extraction position.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, precise detection and automatic control functions are achieved during the capsule delivery process. The capsule delivery channel is positioned corresponding to the extraction position, ensuring that the capsules are accurately aligned with the feed inlet of the extraction mechanism, preventing misalignment or slippage. The guide component is located directly above the extraction position, working in conjunction with the limiting guide structure to orient the capsules, improving the accuracy and stability of feeding. The grating sensor installed on the inner wall of the capsule delivery channel enables real-time sensing of the capsule's position. When the capsule accurately reaches the designated position, a switch is triggered, which can be used to control the automatic start of subsequent extraction actions, avoiding dry firing or misoperation, and improving the intelligence level and operational safety of the equipment. This not only helps improve the operating efficiency of the equipment but also enhances the coordination and responsiveness of the overall control system.

[0015] Optionally, the surface of the capsule support frame is provided with a capsule slot, the position of which corresponds to the position of the extraction position.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the capsule slots on the surface of the capsule support frame correspond to the extraction position, which can achieve precise positioning and stable support after the capsule falls in, preventing the capsule from shaking, tilting or shifting during the extraction process. This effectively improves the alignment accuracy between the capsule and the needle tube, ensures the stability and consistency of the puncture and extraction process, and helps to improve the quality of the liquid output and the extraction efficiency.

[0017] Optionally, the base is bolted to the outer shell, and a rotary motor is fixedly mounted on the surface of the base. The output shaft of the rotary motor is fixedly connected to a rotary shaft, and the top end of the rotary shaft is fixedly connected to the surface of the capsule support frame.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the base and the outer shell are connected by bolts to facilitate structural stability and disassembly and maintenance. The rotary motor drives the rotating shaft to connect with the capsule support frame, which can realize the automatic rotation function of the capsule support frame. After the capsule is positioned, it can rotate according to the program control to cooperate with the needle insertion and extraction, which effectively improves the automation and operation accuracy of the extraction process, and also enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the device.

[0019] Optionally, the surface of the base is provided with a liquid outlet, the position of which corresponds to the capsule slot, and the surface of the base is provided with a capsule throwing port, the position of which corresponds to the capsule slot.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the liquid outlet on the base surface corresponds to the capsule slot, realizing efficient export of extracted liquid, ensuring accurate and smooth beverage flow, and improving liquid output efficiency and hygiene; the capsule disposal port set in the corresponding position is used to automatically discard waste capsules after extraction, avoiding manual intervention, improving the automation level and working efficiency of the whole machine, optimizing the liquid flow path and waste disposal process, and improving the continuous working capability of the equipment.

[0021] Optionally, two limiting rods are fixedly connected to the side of the strip-shaped drive box, and the inner wall of the capsule delivery channel is provided with sliding through holes that match the limiting rods.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, two limiting rods set on the side of the strip drive box are inserted into the sliding through holes in the inner wall of the capsule conveying channel, so as to realize the stable sliding positioning of the guide component in the conveying channel, effectively limit its movement trajectory, prevent deviation or shaking, improve the guiding accuracy and running stability, and ensure that the guide component moves accurately along the predetermined path under the drive of the electric telescopic rod, so as to realize reliable guidance and directional delivery of capsules, improve the stability and automation of the entire feeding process, and meet the needs of efficient commercial operation.

[0023] Optionally, the transmission belt is an anti-slip toothed belt, and both the driving synchronous pulley and the driven synchronous pulley are provided with toothed groove structures to improve the synchronous transmission accuracy and stability of the guide roller.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the transmission belt uses an anti-slip toothed belt, which, together with the toothed groove structure on the drive synchronous pulley and the driven synchronous pulley, effectively prevents the belt from slipping during transmission, ensuring the synchronization and stability of the transmission process. This enables precise linkage control between the guide rollers, improves the positioning accuracy and guiding efficiency of the capsules in the conveying channel, further ensures that the capsules smoothly enter the extraction position, and improves the reliability and output efficiency of the whole machine.

[0025] Optionally, the grating sensor is electrically connected to a controller, which controls the electric telescopic rod to move after detecting the capsule's positioning signal, so as to automatically reset the guide assembly or push the capsule into the extraction position.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the grating sensor detects the capsule's position signal in real time. The controller automatically controls the electric telescopic rod to move according to the signal, realizing the automatic reset of the guide component or pushing the capsule to accurately enter the extraction position. This effectively improves the automation and accuracy of capsule delivery, avoids human intervention and misoperation, ensures stable positioning and smooth delivery of capsules during the delivery process, and improves the overall working efficiency and stability of the extraction device.

[0027] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] 1. This application, by setting up a feeding mechanism and a guiding component, incorporates an innovative guiding component in the feeding mechanism. A drive motor, via a transmission belt, rotates two limiting guide rollers, achieving precise guidance and positioning of the capsules. When the capsules are conveyed to one end of the capsule conveying channel by the two limiting guide rollers, the capsules can be sensed by a grating sensor. This grating sensor then activates an electric telescopic rod. The flexible extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod further ensures that the capsules accurately fall into the extraction position, preventing capsule overturning. Furthermore, the grating sensor allows for real-time detection of capsule positioning, achieving intelligent automatic control and improving operational convenience and accuracy.

[0029] 2. The extraction mechanism in this application is ingeniously designed. It drives the capsule support frame to rotate via a rotary motor, and with the precise positioning of the needle tube, it ensures that each extraction is stable and uniform. This design not only improves the extraction efficiency, but also ensures the consistency of beverage quality and meets the high standards required for commercial on-site preparation and sale.

[0038] The technical solutions in 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.

[0039] Reference Figures 1-7 The extraction device of the novel commercial on-site beverage machine of this application mainly includes two parts: an extraction mechanism 1 and a feeding mechanism 2. The extraction mechanism 1 is responsible for completing the extraction process of the beverage, while the feeding mechanism 2 is responsible for accurately feeding the beverage capsule into the extraction mechanism.

[0040] By setting up an extraction mechanism 1, which includes a housing 101 and a base 102, the housing 101 provides a closed environment for the entire extraction process, ensuring the stability and hygiene of the extraction. The bottom of the housing 101 is connected to the base 102 by bolts, a design that facilitates disassembly and cleaning. A rotary motor 109 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the base 102 to provide power for the extraction process.

[0041] It should be noted that a capsule support frame 103 is rotatably mounted inside the outer shell 101 to hold the beverage capsules. The surface of the capsule support frame 103 has multiple capsule slots 108, each corresponding to an extraction position 107 to ensure accurate capsule placement. The output shaft of the rotary motor 109 is fixedly connected to the surface of the capsule support frame 103 via a rotating shaft 110. When the rotary motor 109 is started, it drives the capsule support frame 103 to rotate, thereby achieving continuous extraction.

[0042] It should be noted that a top cover 104 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer shell 101. The surface of the top cover 104 has a mounting hole, and a movable sleeve 105 is inserted into the inner wall of the mounting hole. A needle tube 106 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the movable sleeve 105, and the position of the needle tube 106 corresponds to the extraction position 107. When the capsule falls into the capsule holder 108, the needle tube 106 will penetrate the capsule and extract the beverage ingredients inside.

[0043] It should be noted that the base 102 has a liquid outlet 111 and a capsule ejection port 112 on its surface. The liquid outlet 111 is positioned corresponding to the capsule slot 108 and is used to discharge the extracted beverage. The capsule ejection port 112 is used to discharge used beverage capsules, keeping the extraction mechanism clean and hygienic.

[0044] By setting up a feeding mechanism 2, which includes a capsule conveying channel 201 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the outer shell 101, the position of the capsule conveying channel 201 corresponds to the extraction position 107, ensuring that the capsules can smoothly enter the extraction mechanism.

[0045] By setting the guide assembly 3, electric telescopic rods 202 are fixedly installed on both sides of the capsule conveying channel 201. The telescopic ends of the two electric telescopic rods 202 extend into the interior of the capsule conveying channel 201 and are fixedly connected to the guide assembly 3. The guide assembly 3 is used to guide the capsules to fall accurately, ensuring that the capsules fall accurately into the extraction position.

[0046] The guide assembly 3 includes a strip-shaped drive box 301. Two shaft holes are formed on the lower surface of the strip-shaped drive box 301. A drive shaft 302 and a driven shaft 303 are rotatably mounted on the inner walls of the two shaft holes, respectively. A first limiting guide roller 304 and a second limiting guide roller 305 are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the drive shaft 302 and the driven shaft 303, respectively. When the drive motor 306 starts, it drives the drive shaft 302 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven shaft 303 to rotate via the transmission belt 308. In this way, the first limiting guide roller 304 and the second limiting guide roller 305 rotate synchronously, providing precise guidance and positioning for the capsule.

[0047] A drive motor 306 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the bar-shaped drive box 301. The rotation shaft of the drive motor 306 extends into the interior of the bar-shaped drive box 301 and is fixedly connected to the top end of the drive shaft 302. Furthermore, a drive synchronous pulley 310 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the drive shaft 302, and a driven synchronous pulley 307 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the driven shaft 303. A transmission belt 308 is installed between the drive synchronous pulley 310 and the driven synchronous pulley 307, thus realizing the transmission of power.

[0048] Two limiting rods 203 are fixedly connected to the side of the strip-shaped drive box 301, and sliding through holes matching the limiting rods 203 are opened on the inner wall of the capsule delivery channel 201. This ensures that the guide assembly 3 is more stable during movement, preventing wobbling or deviation.

[0049] It is worth noting that a grating sensor 309 is also fixedly installed on the inner wall of the capsule delivery channel 201, and the position of the grating sensor 309 corresponds to the extraction position 107. When the capsule is conveyed to one end of the capsule delivery channel 201 by the two limiting guide rollers, it will touch the grating sensor 309, thereby activating the electric telescopic rod 202. The flexible extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod 202 further ensures that the capsule can fall accurately into the extraction position.

[0050] The implementation principle of the extraction device of a novel commercial on-site beverage machine according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: In use, the drive motor 306 is first started, and the drive motor 306 drives the first limiting guide roller 304 and the second limiting guide roller 305 to rotate via the transmission belt 308. Then, the beverage capsule is placed into the capsule conveying channel 201, where the two limiting guide rollers precisely guide and position the capsule. When the capsule is conveyed to one end of the capsule conveying channel 201, it touches the grating sensor 309, thereby activating the electric telescopic rod 202. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 202 drives the guide assembly 3 forward, pushing the capsule into the extraction position 107 of the extraction mechanism 1. At this time, the needle tube 106 penetrates the capsule, extracting the beverage ingredients inside. After extraction, the rotary motor 109 is started, driving the capsule support frame 103 to rotate, sending the used beverage capsule to the capsule discarding port 112 for discharge. Simultaneously, the extracted beverage is discharged through the liquid outlet 111.

[0051] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
