Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food and beverage equipment technology, and in particular to a water dispensing mechanism for a soda water machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the beverage market, soda water is widely loved by consumers for its unique taste and potential health benefits, such as regulating the body's acid-base balance and promoting digestion. Soda water is used in a variety of scenarios, including daily family consumption, quenching thirst in the office, pairing with food in restaurants, and mixing with drinks in bars.

[0003] Most soda water dispensing mechanisms on the market currently use a fixed-diameter dispensing channel design. This design has revealed many drawbacks in practical applications. In a household setting, people may use cups and kettles of different sizes to hold soda water. With a fixed-diameter dispensing channel, if the diameter is small, the water flow is dispersed and slow when pouring into a large-diameter container, taking a long time to fill; if the diameter is large, the water flow is rapid when pouring into a small-diameter cup, easily causing soda water to overflow, resulting in waste and a mess on the table.

[0004] In commercial settings such as restaurants and bars, beverage preparation needs are complex and varied. When making soda-based cocktails, precise control of the soda water flow is required to ensure consistent taste; fixed-diameter dispensing mechanisms struggle to meet this fine-tuning requirement. Furthermore, when providing self-service soda water, fixed-diameter dispensing channels cannot flexibly adapt to the various containers used by different customers, thus diminishing the customer experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the water dispensing mechanism of existing soda water machines has a fixed dispensing channel diameter, which cannot be flexibly adapted to meet needs and reduces the customer's user experience.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A water dispensing mechanism for a soda maker includes a dispensing component, an adjusting component, a dispensing head, and a spiral core placed inside the dispensing head. The dispensing component is located inside the dispensing head and has a dispensing channel with an adjustable diameter. The adjusting component is located on the dispensing head and is used to control the diameter of the dispensing channel.

[0008] Preferably, the dispensing head includes an end block one and an end block two, which are connected. The end block one is provided with a placement groove, and the spiral core is placed in the placement groove. The end block one is provided with a threaded end that connects to the dispensing faucet on the soda water machine. The movable groove provides a suitable placement position for the spiral core, ensuring that the spiral core remains stable in the dispensing head and will not be displaced or shaken due to the impact of the soda water flow. When the end block one is connected to the dispensing faucet on the soda water machine, the end connected to the dispensing faucet on the soda water machine can hold the spiral core against the placement groove.

[0009] Preferably, the spiral core includes a flow divider plate, on which two spiral ends are provided opposite to each other, and the two spiral ends are spirally arranged downwards.

[0010] Preferably, the liquid outlet component includes an adjustment control device, and multiple adjustment control devices are provided. The multiple adjustment control devices are arranged in a ring shape, and a connecting plate is provided between every two adjustment control devices. The multiple adjustment control devices and the inner side of the connecting plate form a liquid outlet channel. When the adjustment control device moves, the connecting plate can move with it to ensure that the shape of the liquid outlet channel remains regular during the change of diameter.

[0011] Preferably, the control panel is provided with a connecting groove, and the two ends of the connecting plate are respectively located in the connecting grooves of the two control panels. The two ends of the connecting plate are located in the connecting groove. This cooperation method restricts the movement range and direction of the connecting plate, so that the connecting plate can only move within the path specified by the groove. When the adjustment component is operated, the position of the connecting plate can be precisely controlled through the interaction between the connecting groove and the connecting plate, thereby controlling the relative position of multiple control panels and realizing the precise adjustment of the outlet channel diameter. An elastic element is connected between every two control panels. The elastic element covers the connecting plate, so that multiple elastic elements and multiple control panels can form a sealed outlet channel.

[0012] Preferably, the first end block is provided with a movable groove, the second end block is provided with a movable groove, and the adjustment control is located between the movable groove and the movable groove. A sealing ring is provided between the end of the adjustment control located in the movable groove and the first end block. The movable groove on the first end block and the movable groove on the second end block provide suitable space for the adjustment control, allowing the adjustment control to be freely adjusted within the dispensing head. The sealing ring is made of rubber during use. The sealing ring is enhanced by the compression of the dispensing component by the dispensing component. Furthermore, the sealing ring effectively prevents the soda water from entering the movable groove during the flow of soda water through the dispensing head.

[0013] Preferably, the adjustment control has an extension plate at the end furthest from the end block, and a control rod is provided on the extension plate. The control rod cooperates with the adjustment component. When the adjustment block rotates, it pulls the control rod through the drive hole, and the control rod then drives the extension plate, thereby realizing the linear movement of the adjustment control.

[0014] Preferably, the adjusting component includes an adjusting block, which is threadedly connected to the second end block. The adjusting block has multiple driving holes, and multiple control rods are respectively located in the multiple driving holes. There is a certain amount of moving space between the adjusting block and the extension plate. The cooperation between the multiple driving holes on the adjusting block and the control rods realizes the synchronous driving of multiple adjusting control parts. When the adjusting block rotates, each driving hole can simultaneously pull the corresponding control rod, so that multiple adjusting control parts move at the same time, ensuring the uniformity and symmetry of the outlet channel diameter during the adjustment process.

[0015] Preferably, the control unit further includes a mounting plate, which is installed on the end of the second end block near the adjusting member. The extension plate is located between the mounting plate and the second end block. The mounting plate is provided with multiple moving slots corresponding to the control rods. The multiple control rods are respectively located in the multiple moving slots. By mounting the control unit on the second end block through the mounting plate, it can provide additional support and guidance for the control unit, and facilitate the installation of the liquid outlet on the second end block when assembling the parts.

[0016] Preferably, the second end block is provided with multiple limiting grooves on the end face near the first adjustment block, and each of the extension plates of the multiple adjustment control is provided with a limiting end. The limiting end is located in the limiting groove. The cooperation between the multiple limiting grooves on the second end block and the limiting end on the extension plate of the adjustment control plays a limiting role in the movement of the adjustment control. During the movement of the adjustment control, the limiting end slides in the limiting groove, limiting the movement range of the adjustment control.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This invention utilizes a spiral core that, when soda water passes through it, is divided into two streams by a flow divider plate, with the two spiral ends causing the water to spiral outwards. This causes the two streams to collide while rotating, dispersing and atomizing the soda water. This allows the gas in the soda water to mix fully with the water, increasing the carbon content and resulting in a more carbonated soda water with a higher bubble content, thus improving the taste and quality of the soda water.

[0019] The designed liquid outlet component allows for adjustment of the liquid outlet channel diameter, enabling users to adjust the size of the liquid outlet channel according to their needs, thereby improving the customer's user experience and meeting the usage requirements in different scenarios.

[0033] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number. Example

[0034] Please see Figure 1-8 A water dispensing mechanism for a soda water machine includes a dispensing component 3, an adjusting component 4, a dispensing head 1, and a spiral core 2 placed inside the dispensing head 1. The dispensing component 3 is located inside the dispensing head 1 and has a dispensing channel with an adjustable diameter. The adjusting component 4 is located on the dispensing head 1 and is used to control the diameter of the dispensing channel.

[0035] The dispensing head 1 includes an end block 11 and an end block 2 12, which are connected. The end block 11 is provided with a mounting groove 111, in which the spiral core 2 is placed. The end block 11 is provided with a threaded end that connects to the dispensing tap on the soda water machine. The movable groove provides a suitable placement position for the spiral core 2, ensuring that the spiral core 2 remains stable within the dispensing head 1 and will not be displaced or shaken due to the flow of soda water. When the opposite end block 11 is connected to the dispensing tap on the soda water machine, the end connected to the dispensing tap on the soda water machine can press the spiral core 2 against the mounting groove 111. The spiral core 2 includes a flow divider plate 21, on which two spiral ends 22 are provided opposite each other, and the two spiral ends 22 are spirally arranged downwards.

[0036] The liquid outlet component 3 includes an adjustment control 31. Multiple adjustment control 31s are provided, and the multiple adjustment control 31s form a ring-shaped device. A connecting plate 32 is provided between every two adjustment control 31s. The multiple adjustment control 31s and the inner side of the connecting plate 32 form a liquid outlet channel. When the adjustment control 31 moves, the connecting plate 32 can follow its movement to ensure that the shape of the liquid outlet channel remains regular during the change of diameter.

[0037] The control unit 31 is provided with a connecting groove 311. The two ends of the connecting plate 32 are respectively located in the connecting groove 311 of the two control units 31. The two ends of the connecting plate 32 are located in the connecting groove 311. This matching method restricts the movement range and direction of the connecting plate 32, so that the connecting plate 32 can only move within the path specified by the groove. When the adjustment component 4 is operated, the position of the connecting plate 32 can be precisely controlled through the interaction between the connecting groove 311 and the connecting plate 32, thereby controlling the relative position of multiple control units 31 and realizing the precise adjustment of the outlet channel diameter. An elastic element 33 is connected between every two control units 31. The elastic element 33 covers the connecting plate 32. By covering the connecting plate 32 with the elastic element 33, a sealed outlet channel can be formed between multiple elastic elements 33 and multiple control units 31.

[0038] End block 11 is provided with a movable groove 112, and end block 212 is provided with a movable groove 121. Adjustment control 31 is located between movable groove 112 and movable groove 121. A sealing ring 13 is provided between the end of adjustment control 31 in movable groove 112 and end block 11. Movable groove 112 on end block 11 and movable groove 121 on end block 212 provide suitable space for adjustment control 31, so that adjustment control 31 can be freely adjusted within the liquid outlet head 1. The sealing ring 13 is made of rubber. The sealing of the end of liquid outlet 3 is enhanced by the squeezing of sealing ring 13 by liquid outlet 3. During the process of soda water flowing through liquid outlet head 1, sealing ring 13 can effectively prevent soda water from entering movable groove 112.

[0039] An extension plate 312 is provided at the end of the adjustment control 31 away from the end block 11. A control rod 34 is provided on the extension plate 312. The control rod 34 cooperates with the adjustment component 4. When the adjustment block 41 rotates, it pulls the control rod 34 through the drive hole 42. The control rod 34 then drives the extension plate 312, thereby realizing the linear movement of the adjustment control 31.

[0040] The adjusting component 4 includes an adjusting block 41, which is threadedly connected to the end block 12. The adjusting block 41 is provided with multiple driving holes 42, and multiple control rods 34 are respectively located in the multiple driving holes 42. There is a certain amount of moving space between the adjusting block 41 and the extension plate 312. The cooperation between the multiple driving holes 42 on the adjusting block 41 and the control rods 34 realizes the synchronous driving of multiple adjusting control parts 31. When the adjusting block 41 rotates, each driving hole 42 can simultaneously pull the corresponding control rod 34, so that multiple adjusting control parts 31 move at the same time, ensuring the uniformity and symmetry of the outlet channel diameter during the adjustment process.

[0041] The control panel 31 also includes a mounting plate 35, which is installed on the end of the second end block 12 near the adjusting member 4. The extension plate 312 is located between the mounting plate 35 and the second end block 12. The mounting plate 35 is provided with multiple moving slots corresponding to the control levers 34. The multiple control levers 34 are respectively located in the multiple moving slots. By mounting the control panel 35 on the second end block 12, it can provide additional support and guidance for the control panel 31, and facilitate the installation of the liquid outlet member 3 on the second end block 12 when assembling the parts.

[0042] The end block 12 near the end face of the adjusting block 41 is provided with multiple limiting grooves 122. Each of the extension plates 312 of the multiple adjusting control 31 is provided with a limiting end 313. The limiting end 313 is located in the limiting groove 122. The cooperation between the multiple limiting grooves 122 on the end block 12 and the limiting end 313 on the extension plate 312 of the adjusting control 31 plays a limiting role in the movement of the adjusting control 31. During the movement of the adjusting control 31, the limiting end 313 slides in the limiting groove 122, which limits the movement range of the adjusting control 31.

[0043] In use, this utility model can be connected to the dispensing faucet of a soda water machine via the threaded end of end block 11, thus installing it on the faucet. When the soda water is dispensed, it flows through the spiral core 2. The diverting plate 21 on the spiral core 2 can divide the passing soda water into two streams. The spiral end 22 causes these two streams to spiral out separately. Due to the rotational kinetic energy gained by the spiral end, the two streams can rotate and collide. The collided soda water can be atomized, allowing the gas in the soda water to be fully mixed with the soda water, improving the mixing effect between the soda water and the gas, increasing the gas content in the soda water, and obtaining soda water with a high bubble content. The mixed soda water liquid is discharged through the dispensing channel.

[0044] When adjusting the diameter of the liquid outlet channel, first rotate end block 2 12 to move it away from end block 11, ensuring that the end of the liquid outlet 3 does not squeeze the sealing ring 13. Then, rotate the adjusting block 41. When the adjusting block 41 rotates, it pulls the driving rod through the driving hole 42, which in turn pulls the adjusting control 31 through the extension plate 312. Multiple adjusting control 31 move outward linearly to expand and open. When multiple adjusting control 31 expand and open, they also drive the connecting plate 32 to move outward, allowing the liquid outlet channel to expand and adjust, thereby increasing the liquid outlet channel and allowing the soda water to be discharged more quickly. When the required soda water output is small, the liquid outlet channel can be adjusted to shrink inward to slow down the output speed of the soda water. By adjusting the diameter of the liquid outlet channel according to the needs, the liquid outlet channel can be flexibly adapted to the needs, improving the customer's user experience.

[0045] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations or modifications.
