AI Technical Summary
Existing beverage ingredient dispensing systems lack high dispensing accuracy and dynamic monitoring structures, resulting in inconsistent taste and unstable quality.
The beverage dispensing cylinder uses a micro-pump connected to a motor. By adjusting the motor speed, the pump shaft speed is controlled to achieve precise quantitative dispensing. It also incorporates an NFC module and tags for intelligent dynamic monitoring to prevent empty pumps and over-dispensing.
It enables precise quantitative addition of beverage ingredients, ensuring standardized beverage ratios and stable taste, avoiding empty pumps and over-addition, and improving the consistency of beverage taste.

Abstract
Claims
1. A beverage ingredient cartridge for connection with a beverage ingredient holder, the beverage ingredient holder being provided with a motor and a drive member, characterised in that, The beverage ingredient container includes an integrated sleeve for ingredient boxes and at least one beverage ingredient box installed inside the integrated sleeve for ingredient boxes. Each beverage ingredient box is provided with a micro pump and an ingredient addition outlet at its bottom. The pump head outlet of the micro pump is connected to a corresponding ingredient addition outlet. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the pump shaft of the micro pump through the transmission component.
2. A beverage ingredient cartridge as claimed in claim 1, characterised in that, The pump shaft and ingredient addition outlet of the micro-pump are exposed at the bottom of the beverage ingredient box. The transmission component has a spiral part at one end near the micro-pump, and the pump shaft end of the micro-pump near the transmission component has a screw-in part that matches the shape of the spiral part. The spiral part and the screw-in part are axially engaged to form a spiral meshing transmission structure. When the transmission component rotates, the spiral part pushes the screw-in part to rotate so that the pump shaft of the micro-pump rotates synchronously.
3. A beverage ingredient cartridge as claimed in claim 1, wherein, The bottom of the beverage ingredient box is also provided with a connecting cylinder. The pump shaft of the micro pump is located at the inner center of the connecting cylinder. The outer wall of the connecting cylinder is provided with barbs. The top of the beverage ingredient holder has a through hole. The transmission component is located at the inner center of the through hole. The hole wall of the through hole is provided with a hook engagement position corresponding to the barb. The connecting cylinder and the through hole are connected by the barb engaging with the hook engagement position.
4. A beverage ingredient cartridge as in claim 1, wherein, The beverage dispensing cylinder also includes a PCB board, which is mounted on the outer wall of the integrated sleeve of the dispensing box. The beverage dispensing holder is also equipped with a main control board that is electrically connected to the motor, and the main control board is electrically connected to the PCB board.
5. A drinks ingredients cartridge as claimed in claim 4, characterised in that, The PCB board integrates an NFC module, and an NFC tag is attached to the outer wall of the beverage ingredient box opposite to the PCB board. The NFC tag is connected to the NFC module via an electrical signal, and the NFC tag includes information such as ingredient name, total volume, and remaining liquid volume.
6. A beverage ingredient cartridge as claimed in claim 4, wherein, The outer wall of the integrated sleeve of the ingredient box is provided with a guide block, a limiting part and a limiting protrusion. The PCB board has a limiting hole, which engages with the limiting protrusion. The upper and lower left corners of the PCB board are limited by the limiting part. The PCB board is slidably connected to the guide block.
7. A beverage ingredient cartridge as in claim 1, wherein, The ingredient box integrated sleeve is provided with multiple partitions, and multiple beverage ingredient boxes are inserted into the ingredient box integrated sleeve and separated by the partitions.
8. A beverage ingredient cartridge as claimed in claim 7, characterised in that, The partition has a U-shaped handle.
9. A beverage ingredient cartridge as in claim 1, wherein, Multiple beverage ingredient boxes are arranged at equal intervals along the length of the integrated sleeve of the ingredient boxes.
10. A beverage ingredient cartridge as in claim 1, wherein, The bottom edge of the integrated sleeve of the ingredient box has a hook, which engages with the top edge of the beverage ingredient holder.
