[0029] Example 1:

[0030] like Figures 1 to 2 ,

[0031] A central beer vending machine includes a building body 10, which contains an ambient temperature chamber 12 and a low temperature chamber 13, with a partition 14 separating the ambient temperature chamber and the low temperature chamber. The building body has a door 11, which is located on one side of the ambient temperature chamber 12.

[0032] The house 10 is a circular house, and multiple beer spouts 30 are arranged around the circular house.

[0033] The roof 10 is equipped with a water collection trough 60, which is a recessed groove into the roof 10. The lower end of the water collection trough 60 is provided with a drain outlet 61. The water collection trough 60 can collect spilled or overflowing beer or other liquids. The water collection trough 60 is located below the beer outlet 30.

[0034] Each beer dispensing spout 30 is equipped with an operation screen 21 and a power switch 22. The operation screen 21 allows users to view information such as the type of beer, temperature, and select the desired beer volume. After placing an order via the operation screen 21, the customer presses the power switch, and the beer is dispensed from the beer dispensing spout 30.

[0035] A glass dispenser 70 is located near each beer spout 30. The dispenser contains a beer glass 71. When a customer places an order via the control panel 21, the dispenser 70 automatically dispenses a beer glass 71. Before the order is completed, the beer glass 71 in the dispenser 70 will not be dispensed or can not be retrieved, thus avoiding waste and contamination of the beer glass.

[0036] Beer barrels 50 are respectively installed in the ambient temperature chamber 12 and the low temperature chamber 13. The beer barrel in the low temperature chamber 13 is connected to the beer outlet 30 installed on the side of the low temperature chamber 13, and the beer barrel in the ambient temperature chamber 12 is connected to the beer outlet 30 installed on the side of the ambient temperature chamber 12.

[0037] A carbon dioxide cylinder 51 is installed in the ambient temperature chamber 12. The carbon dioxide cylinder 51 is connected to a beer keg 51 via a hose 53. The pressurized gas in the carbon dioxide cylinder 51 pressurizes the beer keg 50, causing the beer inside to be dispensed. The beer keg is connected to multiple beer dispensing nozzles 30 via hoses 54. The dispensing port of the beer keg is equipped with a sensor unit 55, which includes a pressure transmitter, a temperature transmitter, and a level transmitter.

[0038] The carbon dioxide cylinder 51 is placed in the ambient temperature chamber 12 to avoid the output pressure of the carbon dioxide cylinder being affected by excessively low temperature.

[0039] A refrigerator 52 is installed inside the low-temperature chamber 13. The refrigerator 52 keeps the low-temperature chamber 13 at a low temperature, thereby keeping the beer barrels inside the low-temperature chamber 13 at a low temperature and providing low-temperature beer.

[0040] The roof 16 extends beyond the roof body 10, providing protection from rain and sun. Below the roof 16 is a bulletin board 17, a color display screen used for knowledge dissemination or advertising. Above the roof is a circular display screen 18, used for commercial promotion.

[0041] The upper part of the housing 10 is provided with an upper chamber 15, and a control unit 40 is installed in the upper chamber. The control unit 40 is used to control the temperature inside the housing, manage the remaining beer volume, and detect the operating status of the equipment.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] like Figures 3 to 5 A beer dispensing nozzle, wherein the beer dispensing nozzle of this embodiment is the beer dispensing nozzle 30 described in Embodiment 1.

[0044] The beer spout 30 is a vertically movable beer spout. When beer needs to be dispensed, the beer spout 30 can move downwards and extend out of the housing 10; in standby mode, the beer spout 30 moves upwards and into the housing 10, thereby protecting the beer spout 30 and preventing potential environmental contamination of the beer spout, thus maintaining a good hygienic condition for the beer spout.

[0045] In this embodiment, the beer dispensing nozzle 30 is mounted on the dispensing lifting seat 32, which is mounted on the dispensing lifting frame 33. The dispensing lifting frame 33 is equipped with a lifting screw 34 and a lifting drive motor 35 that drives the lifting screw 34 to rotate. The lifting drive motor 35 drives the lifting screw 34 to rotate, thereby driving the dispensing lifting seat 32 to move up and down.

[0046] The beer outlet 30 is connected to the solenoid valve 36 and the flow meter 39 via the hose 38. The solenoid valve 36 is connected to the beer keg 50 via the hose 37. The solenoid valve 36 controls the opening and closing of the beer outlet 30.

[0047] Example 3:

[0048] like Figures 6 to 13 A cup taker, wherein the cup taker in this embodiment is the cup taker 70 described in Embodiment 1.

[0049] The cup dispenser 70 has a housing 78, which houses a beer mug 71. The beer mug 71 is a disposable plastic cup with a rim 71a. The lower end of the housing has an internal cup-removing opening 76, which has a side opening 76a for easy removal of the beer mug. Inside the housing 78 are two symmetrically arranged spiral pushers 72, each with an upper spiral block 73 and a lower spiral block 74. The spiral pushers 72 have a motor 79 that drives the upper and lower spiral blocks 73 and 74 to rotate. A spiral groove 75 is provided between the upper and lower spiral blocks 73 and 74. Figure 9 As shown in Figure 10, the rim 71a of a beer mug to be output rests on the lower helical block 74. When the helical pusher 72 rotates (i.e., the motor 79 drives the upper helical block 73 and the lower helical block 74 to rotate), the helical groove 75 along the rim 71a moves downward (the beer mug 71 moves accordingly), as shown in Figure 10. Figure 11As shown. After the upper helical block 73 and the lower helical block 74 rotate 180°, the rim 71a of the glass disengages from the lower helical block 74 (disengages from the helical pusher), and the beer glass 71 falls to the glass-collecting rim 76, as shown. Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, the rim of the next beer glass enters the spiral pusher 72 along 71a and lands on the upper spiral block 73 (without falling out of the spiral pusher 72), as... Figure 12 As shown. After the upper helical block 73 and the lower helical block 74 rotate one revolution, the rim 71a of the beer mug falls back onto the lower helical block 74, completing the preparation for the next output, as shown. Figure 13 As shown. Customers can remove the beer glass from the spout 76, as... Figure 14 As shown.

[0050] A photoelectric sensor 77 is installed at the cup dispensing port. The photoelectric sensor 77 can detect whether there is a beer cup being dispensed from the cup dispensing port, ensuring the normal operation of the cup dispenser.

[0051] This utility model is a technical solution for beer vending devices, but it can also be applied to the sale of other types of beverages.

[0052] This invention can be installed in large commercial centers or used in large-scale commercial events. Adopting a house-type structural design, it features multiple beer dispensers, allowing multiple people to simultaneously dispensing beer, making it suitable for large-scale sales and distribution activities. This invention is typically used in relatively open environments, including open-air settings, where environmental pollution prevention is crucial, particularly preventing contamination of the beer dispensers. This invention utilizes vertically movable beer dispensers, ensuring good hygiene in open environments. In large commercial centers or commercial events, the dissemination of scientific knowledge and commercial promotion are essential. This invention, by incorporating display boards and screens, provides excellent commercial promotional effects.
