Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of beverage utensils and kitchen appliances, specifically relating to a beverage cup and beverage equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Existing processes for preparing freshly brewed beverages (such as coffee and tea) suffer from significant quality control bottlenecks, particularly in terms of parameter feedback and process optimization. Taking coffee preparation as an example, traditional methods rely on manual experience to adjust multiple process parameters. However, due to issues such as multivariate coupling, strong reliance on experience, and lack of process traceability, the quality of the beverages is unstable, and there is significant waste of raw materials.

[0003] Specifically, firstly, the coffee extraction process involves multiple parameters, such as coffee grind size, water temperature, and extraction time. These parameters have complex nonlinear coupling relationships, making it difficult to establish precise quantitative control models based on human experience, resulting in low efficiency in parameter adjustment. Secondly, current technologies rely on baristas to determine baseline parameters through multiple trials, and each change in coffee bean variety requires repeated adjustments, leading to material waste and increased costs. Furthermore, the lack of real-time monitoring methods makes it impossible to dynamically monitor the response relationship between beverage quality parameters and process parameters, making process optimization difficult and hindering standardized production. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a beverage cup and beverage equipment that can monitor beverage parameters in real time and feed them back to the production end, thereby realizing dynamic optimization of process parameters, improving the stability of beverage quality and reducing resource waste.

[0005] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides a beverage cup, comprising: The cup body is used to hold beverages; The detection module is used to detect specific parameters of the beverage inside the cup, including at least one of temperature, dissolved content, and weight. A control module, electrically connected to the detection module, is used to receive the specific parameters detected by the detection module; A communication module is electrically connected to the control module. The communication module is configured to wirelessly or wiredly communicate with the beverage device to send the specific parameters to the beverage device, thereby enabling information exchange between the two.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: By integrating a detection module, a control module, and a communication module into the beverage cup, key parameters of the beverage, such as temperature, dissolved substance content, and weight, can be monitored in real time, and the data can be fed back to kitchen appliances (such as coffee machines or tea extractors), thereby effectively solving the problem of unstable quality caused by reliance on human experience in traditional processes. Specifically, the real-time acquisition of beverage parameters by the detection module enables process traceability, the data processing of the control module provides a quantitative basis for process optimization, and the linkage between the communication module and kitchen appliances establishes a closed-loop control system. The synergistic effect of these three components enables the precise adjustment of multi-variable coupled parameters through data-driven processes. This not only significantly reduces the waste of raw materials caused by manual trial and error, but also enables the automatic optimization of process parameters through dynamic response relationships, ultimately achieving standardized production goals. Through the innovative integration of hardware structure, this technical solution transforms the traditional preparation process that relies on subjective judgment into an objective data-driven intelligent control system.

[0007] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the detection module includes a temperature detection module, which is installed on the cup body and includes a temperature probe that is exposed inside the cup body.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: the temperature probe can directly contact the beverage and obtain accurate temperature data in real time, thereby effectively solving the quality fluctuation problem caused by the lag or error of temperature monitoring in traditional beverage preparation; the physical contact measurement method of the temperature probe has higher accuracy and response speed compared with non-contact detection, and the temperature data collected is fed back to the kitchen appliance in real time through the control module, so that the equipment can dynamically adjust the heating or extraction parameters, such as the water temperature of the coffee machine, to avoid affecting the extraction effect due to the temperature deviating from the optimal range; this closed-loop control mechanism not only significantly improves the stability of beverage quality, but also reduces the operational burden of repeated manual temperature measurement, and provides a reliable data foundation for subsequent process optimization.

[0009] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the detection module includes a dissolved substance content detection module, which is installed in the cup body and includes a dissolved substance content probe, which is exposed inside the cup body.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: By setting a dissolved substance content probe inside the cup, the concentration of key dissolved substances in the beverage can be monitored in real time, such as the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) value of coffee or the soluble solids content of tea, thereby solving the problem of unstable quality caused by the inability to quantify the degree of extraction in traditional processes; the direct contact measurement of the dissolved substance content probe can accurately reflect the actual extraction state of the beverage, and the real-time data collected is fed back to the beverage equipment through the control module, enabling the equipment to dynamically adjust parameters such as grind size and extraction time to maintain the optimal dissolved substance concentration range. This not only avoids the subjective error of human sensory evaluation and significantly improves the consistency of beverage output, but also automatically matches the optimal process parameters when changing raw materials, which reduces debugging losses and ensures flavor stability.

[0011] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, a housing assembly is further included, wherein the cup body, the control module and the communication module are detachably installed on the housing assembly, and the housing assembly is used to protect the internal components and support the cup body.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: By integrating the cup body, control module, and communication module into a housing assembly, not only is the detection system's structure compact and its overall protection achieved, but the practicality and reliability of the equipment are also significantly improved. The structural integration of the housing assembly forms an organic whole among the various functional modules, avoiding potential mechanical damage or signal interference from exposed components and optimizing the user experience. At the same time, the modular design facilitates mass production and maintenance upgrades, reserving physical space for future functional expansion. This integrated architecture fundamentally solves the common problems of messy wiring and difficult maintenance in distributed sensor systems, enabling the smart beverage cup to be stably and reliably applied in commercial environments.

[0013] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the detection module includes a weight detection module, which is disposed between the cup body and the shell assembly. The weight detection module is used to detect the total weight of the cup body and the beverage inside, so as to indirectly obtain the weight of the liquid beverage.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: By setting a weight detection module between the cup body and the shell assembly, real-time and accurate measurement of liquid weight is achieved during beverage preparation, thus solving the problem of poor consistency in the output caused by the inability of traditional methods to quantify the weight of the extracted liquid; the support-type installation method of the weight detection module not only ensures that the measurement accuracy is not affected by the cup body structure, but also indirectly reflects the extraction progress by detecting changes in liquid weight. The weight data collected by the module, together with parameters such as temperature and dissolved content, forms a multi-dimensional feedback, enabling the beverage equipment to comprehensively judge the extraction endpoint, such as automatically stopping extraction based on the weight of the coffee liquid. This not only avoids the errors of manual visual judgment and the waste caused by stopping extraction too early or too late, but also ensures that the extraction amount of each cup of beverage is accurate and consistent.

[0015] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, a display module is further included. The display module is mounted on the housing assembly and is electrically connected to the control module. The display module is configured to display at least the specific parameters of the beverage in the cup. The display module includes a display screen or indicator light for visually displaying the specific parameters.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: By integrating a display module into the housing assembly, the key parameters of the beverage are visualized intuitively, solving the problem that operators cannot monitor the beverage status in real time during the traditional production process; the collaborative work of the display module and the control module converts the detected parameters such as temperature, dissolved content, and weight into visual information in real time, enabling operators to monitor the status changes of the extraction process in real time. This not only avoids subjective biases based on experience-based estimations, but also allows for proactive adjustment of process parameters based on the displayed data. For example, when the temperature display is abnormal, the water temperature setting can be corrected in time. This visualized data presentation improves the controllability of the operation.

[0017] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, a battery and a charging module are further included. The battery and the charging module are installed on the housing assembly. The charging module includes a charging interface or a wireless charging coil for charging the battery. The battery is electrically connected to the control module, and the charging module is electrically connected to the battery. The battery supplies power to the detection module and the control module.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: By integrating the battery and charging module into the housing assembly, the beverage cup detection system achieves self-sustaining power supply and cyclic charging functions, solving the problem of traditional wired power supply methods limiting the mobility and usage scenarios of the equipment; the built-in battery provides stable power support for the control module, detection module, etc., freeing the equipment from the constraints of power cords and allowing it to be used freely in any location on the bar; the charging module enables convenient energy replenishment through wired / wireless means, ensuring continuous and reliable operation of the system. This self-powered design expands the flexibility of equipment deployment.

[0019] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the housing assembly includes a base, a first cylindrical sidewall, and a second cylindrical sidewall; the first cylindrical sidewall is detachably connected to the base, the second cylindrical sidewall is coaxially arranged with the first cylindrical sidewall, and the two are detachably connected; a floating bracket is provided at the bottom of the cup body, and the floating bracket is connected to the base through the weight detection module; the control module and the communication module are located within a first space defined by the base, the floating bracket, and the first cylindrical sidewall, and the second cylindrical sidewall is sleeved on the outside of the cup body.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: By adopting a layered and detachable shell component design, the device achieves dual optimization of thermoelectric isolation and convenient maintenance; specifically, the floating bracket isolates electronic components such as the control module and communication module in the bottom first space, forming a physical separation from the upper cup body that holds hot drinks, effectively preventing thermal damage to electronic components from high temperatures; the detachable structure of the second cylindrical sidewall and the first cylindrical sidewall facilitates quick disassembly and maintenance. This modular layered structure not only significantly improves the service life and measurement stability of electronic components, but also fundamentally improves the efficiency of disassembly and maintenance.

[0021] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the detection module further includes a temperature detection module and / or a dissolved substance content detection module. The temperature detection module and / or the dissolved substance content detection module are installed between the floating support and the cup body. The floating support is provided with a mounting groove for fixing the temperature detection module and / or the dissolved substance content detection module.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: By installing the temperature detection module and the dissolved substance content detection module between the floating bracket and the cup body, accurate measurement of the sensing detection system is achieved; the floating bracket's suspended design allows the detection module to move synchronously with the cup body, ensuring that the temperature probe and dissolved substance content probe maintain stable contact with the beverage to obtain real-time and accurate data, while mechanical decoupling avoids interference from cup body vibration on measurement accuracy; at the same time, this integrated layout allows multiple sensors to be centrally located in the liquid contact area, which not only shortens the detection response time but also facilitates the overall maintenance or calibration of the sensors through the disassembly and assembly of the floating bracket, ultimately improving measurement accuracy while simplifying the equipment maintenance process.

[0023] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the temperature detection module includes a temperature probe, and / or the dissolved substance content detection module includes a dissolved substance content probe, wherein the temperature probe and / or the dissolved substance content probe penetrate the bottom wall of the cup and protrude into the interior of the cup.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: by penetrating the bottom wall of the cup and extending it into the interior, direct contact measurement between the detection element and the beverage is achieved, thereby significantly improving the real-time performance and accuracy of data acquisition; the through-hole design of the probes allows them to be completely immersed in the liquid, avoiding the measurement lag problem of traditional external sensors; the temperature probe can directly sense the core temperature change of the beverage, and the dissolved substance content probe can reflect the dynamic concentration of the solution in real time; at the same time, the bottom wall mounting method ensures that the probes can effectively contact the beverage regardless of the liquid volume, ensuring the reliability of the detection data.

[0025] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model also provides a beverage device, comprising: A liquid phase supply unit for supplying beverage solvents, the liquid phase supply unit including a temperature control module and a flow control module for controlling the temperature and flow rate of the beverage solvents, respectively; A solid phase supply unit for supplying beverage solutes, the solid phase supply unit including a grinding device; A mixing unit is used to mix the beverage solvent with the beverage solute and then remove it. The control unit is electrically connected to the temperature control module, the flow control module and the grinding device. The control unit adjusts the working state of the liquid phase supply unit and / or the solid phase supply unit according to the specific parameters received. A communication unit, electrically connected to the control unit, is configured to receive the specific parameters sent by the beverage cup.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: Through the coordinated operation of the liquid phase supply unit, solid phase supply unit, mixing unit, control unit, and communication unit, a complete intelligent beverage preparation closed-loop control system is constructed. Specifically, after the communication unit receives specific parameters such as temperature and dissolved content from the beverage cup in real time, the control unit can dynamically adjust the temperature control module and flow control module of the liquid phase supply unit to optimize the solvent state. At the same time, the grinding device adjusts the solute particle size. This multi-parameter linkage control mechanism based on actual detection data effectively solves the problem of parameter solidification caused by the reliance on preset programs in traditional beverage equipment. The entire system achieves precise control of the entire process from raw material processing to finished product preparation through data-driven operation, which not only significantly improves the stability of beverage quality but also greatly reduces raw material waste caused by parameter mismatch.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features described therein can be combined with each other.

[0029] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the illustrations only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0030] The preparation of freshly brewed beverages (such as coffee) requires precise control of multiple parameters during the process, including the grind size of the ingredients (such as coffee powder), water pressure, water temperature, and extraction time. Current technology generally relies on manual adjustments based on the operator's experience. This method is highly dependent on the operator's experience; for example, a barista typically needs at least 5-7 trial-and-error adjustments to establish a parameter baseline, and the process must be repeated every time the coffee bean variety is changed, resulting in approximately 15%-20% waste of raw materials. In addition, the current operating method lacks real-time monitoring methods, and the operation process is not traceable. This makes it impossible to establish a dynamic response relationship and a precise quantitative control model between coffee liquid quality parameters (such as temperature, TDS value, weight, etc.) and process parameters (such as coffee powder grind size, water temperature, flow rate, etc.), thus hindering the efficiency of process optimization. To address this, this invention proposes a beverage cup, a beverage device, and a kitchen appliance system. The beverage cup monitors the quality parameters of the beverage in real time and feeds them back to the control unit of the beverage device via a communication module. The control unit of the beverage device then controls the process parameters of the beverage device based on these quality parameters, enabling the process parameters to be dynamically optimized according to the actual beverage quality, forming a closed-loop control. This closed-loop control mechanism breaks through the limitations of the unidirectional output of traditional kitchen appliances. At the same time, the system-level integrated design organically unifies discrete preparation steps, such as raw material processing, mixing and extraction, and quality testing. This not only solves the problem of quality fluctuations caused by the disconnection of parameters in each step but also provides the possibility for personalized beverage customization through the accumulation of historical data.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-10 As shown, the technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments: Please see Figure 1 , 9As shown in Figure 10, an embodiment of this utility model provides a kitchen appliance system, including a beverage cup 100 and a beverage device 200; the beverage cup 100 includes a cup body 10, a detection module 40, a control module 50, and a communication module 90; the cup body 10 is used to hold beverages; the detection module 40 is used to detect specific parameters of the beverage in the cup body 10, the specific parameters including at least one of temperature, dissolved content, and weight; the control module 50 is electrically connected to the detection module 40 and is used to receive the specific parameters detected by the detection module 40; the communication module 90 is electrically connected to the control module 50, and the communication module 90 is configured to be able to wirelessly or wiredly communicate with the beverage device 200 to send the specific parameters to the beverage device 200, realizing information interaction between the two; the beverage device 200 includes a liquid phase supply unit 203, a solid phase supply unit 204, a mixing unit 205, a control unit 201, and a communication unit 202; the liquid phase supply unit 203 is used to provide beverage solvent, the liquid phase... The supply unit 203 includes a temperature control module 2031 and a flow control module 2032 for controlling the temperature and flow rate of the beverage solvent, respectively; a solid-phase supply unit 204 for providing beverage solute, the solid-phase supply unit 204 including a grinding device 2041; a mixing unit 205 for mixing and discharging the beverage solvent and beverage solute; a control unit 201 electrically connected to the temperature control module 2031, the flow control module 2032 and the grinding device 2041, the control unit 201 adjusting the working state of the liquid-phase supply unit 203 and / or the solid-phase supply unit 204 according to specific parameters received; a communication unit 202 electrically connected to the control unit 201, the communication unit 202 being configured to receive the specific parameters sent by the beverage cup 100; the control unit 201 being configured to control the operation of the temperature control module 2031, the flow control module 2032 and the grinding device 2041 according to the specific parameters.

[0032] In specific embodiments, the communication between the beverage cup 100 and the beverage device 200 can be direct or indirect. Direct communication can be wired contact communication (such as metal contacts or magnetic interfaces) or short-range wireless communication (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, or proprietary radio frequency). Its advantages are real-time response, strong data privacy, and low power consumption, making it suitable for quickly adjusting the parameters of the beverage device 200. Indirect communication can be achieved by relaying data through third parties such as mobile phones or the cloud (such as Wi-Fi networking or mobile device bridging). Its advantages are that it can realize remote monitoring, multi-device collaboration, and historical data analysis. The two modes can be used independently or in combination, taking into account both real-time control and intelligent expansion needs.

[0033] This invention integrates a detection module 40, a control module 50, and a communication module 90 into a beverage cup 100. This allows for real-time monitoring of key beverage parameters, such as temperature, dissolved substance content, and weight, and feeds the data back to the beverage equipment 200 (e.g., a coffee machine or tea extractor). Through the coordinated operation of the liquid phase supply unit 203, solid phase supply unit 204, mixing unit 205, control unit 201, and communication unit 202 within the beverage equipment 200, a complete intelligent closed-loop control system for beverage preparation is constructed. Specifically, the real-time acquisition of beverage parameters by the detection module 40 enables process traceability, the data processing by the control module 50 provides a quantitative basis for process optimization, and the linkage between the communication module 90 and the kitchen appliances... A closed-loop control system was established. After the communication unit 202 receives specific parameters such as temperature and dissolved content from the beverage cup 100 in real time, the control unit 201 can dynamically adjust the temperature control module 2031 and the flow control module 2032 of the liquid phase supply unit 203 to optimize the solvent state. At the same time, the grinding device 2041 adjusts the solute particle size. This multi-parameter linkage control mechanism based on actual detection data effectively solves the problem of parameter rigidity caused by the reliance on preset programs and human experience in traditional beverage equipment 200. The entire system achieves precise control of the entire process from raw material processing to finished product preparation through data-driven operation, which not only significantly improves the stability of beverage quality, but also greatly reduces the waste of raw materials caused by parameter mismatch.

[0034] Please see Figure 3 , 7As shown in Figure 8, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the detection module 40 includes a temperature detection module 41, which is installed on the cup body 10. The temperature detection module 41 includes a temperature sensor and a temperature probe 411, with the temperature probe 411 exposed inside the cup body 10. The temperature sensor is connected to the temperature probe 411 and is used to convert the temperature signal into an electrical signal for transmission to the control module 50. In a specific embodiment, the temperature detection module 41 can be, for example, an NTC (negative temperature coefficient thermistor) temperature probe, which has the advantages of high sensitivity, fast response speed, and low cost, and can accurately monitor real-time changes in beverage temperature. In other embodiments, the temperature detection module 41 can also be a platinum resistance temperature sensor, a digital temperature sensor, or an infrared non-contact temperature measurement module to meet the most basic temperature measurement requirements. In practical applications, the appropriate module can be flexibly selected based on accuracy requirements, cost budget, and installation conditions. The temperature probe 411 can directly contact the beverage and obtain accurate temperature data in real time, thus effectively solving the quality fluctuation problem caused by temperature monitoring lag or error in traditional beverage preparation. Compared with non-contact detection, the physical contact measurement method of the temperature probe 411 has higher accuracy and response speed. The temperature data it collects is fed back to the kitchen appliance in real time through the control module 50, which allows the equipment to dynamically adjust heating or extraction parameters, such as the water temperature of a coffee machine, to avoid affecting the extraction effect due to temperature deviation from the optimal range. This closed-loop control mechanism not only significantly improves the stability of beverage quality, but also reduces the operational burden of repeated manual temperature measurement, while providing a reliable data foundation for subsequent process optimization.

[0035] Please see Figure 3 , 6As shown in Figures 7 and 8, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the detection module 40 includes a dissolved substance content detection module 42, which is installed in the cup body 10. The dissolved substance content detection module 42 includes a dissolved substance sensor and a dissolved substance content probe 421. The dissolved substance content probe 421 is exposed inside the cup body 10. The dissolved substance sensor is connected to the dissolved substance content probe 421 and is used to detect the concentration of dissolved substances in the beverage and transmit the data to the control module 50. In a specific embodiment, the dissolved substance content detection module 42 can be, for example, a TDS detection module, which has the advantages of high measurement accuracy, rapid response, and good stability, and can monitor the total concentration of dissolved solids in the beverage in real time. In other embodiments, the dissolved substance content detection module 42 can also be a conductivity sensor, an optical refractometer, or an ultrasonic concentration detection module to meet the detection needs in different scenarios. In practical applications, the appropriate module can be flexibly selected based on the measurement range, anti-interference capability, and maintenance cost. By setting a dissolved substance content probe 421 inside the cup body 10, the concentration of key dissolved substances in the beverage can be monitored in real time, such as the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) value of coffee or the soluble solids content of tea. This solves the problem of unstable quality caused by the inability to quantify the degree of extraction in traditional processes. The direct contact measurement of the dissolved substance content probe 421 can accurately reflect the actual extraction state of the beverage. The real-time data collected is fed back to the kitchen appliance through the control module 50, enabling the equipment to dynamically adjust parameters such as grind size and extraction time to maintain the optimal dissolved substance concentration range. This not only avoids the subjective error of human sensory evaluation and significantly improves the consistency of beverage output, but also automatically matches the optimal process parameters when changing raw materials, which reduces debugging losses and ensures flavor stability.

[0036] Please see Figure 2 , 3As shown, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, a housing assembly 20 is also included. The cup body 10, the control module 50, and the communication module 90 are detachably installed in the housing assembly 20. For example, the installation of each module can be achieved by means of snaps, threads, or magnetic attraction. The housing assembly 20 is used to protect the internal components and support the cup body 10. Specifically, the control module 50 and the communication module 90 can be integrated on a single circuit board, which is installed inside the housing assembly 20. By setting the housing assembly 20 to integrate and encapsulate the cup body 10, the control module 50, and the communication module 90, not only is the structure of the detection system compact and the overall protection achieved, but the practicality and reliability of the equipment are also significantly improved. The structural integration of the housing assembly 20 makes the functional modules form an organic whole, which avoids mechanical damage or signal interference that may be caused by exposed components and optimizes the user's operating experience. At the same time, the modular design facilitates mass production and maintenance upgrades, and reserves physical space for subsequent functional expansion. This integrated architecture fundamentally solves the problems of messy wiring and difficult maintenance that are common in distributed sensor systems, enabling the smart beverage cup to be stably and reliably applied in commercial environments.

[0037] Please see Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the detection module 40 includes a weight detection module 43, which is disposed between the cup body 10 and the shell assembly 20. The weight detection module 43 is used to detect the total weight of the cup body 10 and the beverage inside, so as to indirectly obtain the weight of the liquid beverage. In a specific embodiment, the weight detection module 43 adopts a cantilever beam weighing structure based on the strain gauge principle. Its advantages are compact structure, strong resistance to off-center load, and accurate measurement of real-time weight changes of the beverage. In other embodiments, the weight detection module 43 can also be selected from piezoelectric weighing sensors, electromagnetic force balance sensors, or capacitive micro-pressure sensor arrays. In practical applications, the appropriate sensor can be flexibly selected according to the weighing range, environmental adaptability, and cost requirements. By setting a weight detection module 43 between the cup body 10 and the shell assembly 20, real-time and accurate measurement of liquid weight during beverage preparation is achieved, thus solving the problem of poor consistency in the output caused by the inability of traditional methods to quantify the weight of the extracted liquid. The support-type installation of the weight detection module 43 not only ensures that the measurement accuracy is not affected by the structure of the cup body 10, but also indirectly reflects the extraction progress by detecting changes in liquid weight. The weight data collected by the module forms multi-dimensional feedback with parameters such as temperature and dissolved content, enabling the kitchen appliance to comprehensively judge the extraction endpoint. For example, it can automatically stop extraction based on the weight of the coffee liquid. This not only avoids the errors of manual visual judgment and the waste caused by stopping extraction too early or too late, but also ensures that the extraction amount of each cup of beverage is accurate and consistent.

[0038] Please see Figure 3As shown, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, a display module 60 is further included. The display module 60 is mounted on the housing assembly 20 and electrically connected to the control module 50. The display module 60 is configured to display at least the specific parameters of the beverage inside the cup body 10. The display module 60 includes a display screen or indicator lights for intuitively displaying the specific parameters. In a specific embodiment, the display module 60 can be integrated with the control module 50 on the same circuit board. The display module 60 can be, for example, an LED array, which has the advantages of high brightness, strong visibility, and fast response, and can clearly display key parameters such as the temperature and concentration of the beverage. In other embodiments, the display module 60 can also be an LCD screen, an OLED screen, or an electronic paper screen. In practical applications, the appropriate screen can be flexibly selected based on the complexity of the displayed content, energy consumption requirements, and installation space. By integrating a display module 60 onto the housing assembly 20, the key parameters of the beverage are visualized intuitively, solving the problem that operators cannot monitor the beverage status in real time during the traditional production process. The collaborative work of the display module 60 and the control module 50 converts the detected parameters such as temperature, dissolved substance content, and weight into visual information in real time, enabling operators to monitor the status changes of the extraction process in real time. This not only avoids subjective biases that rely on experience-based estimations, but also allows for proactive adjustment of process parameters based on the displayed data. For example, when the temperature display is abnormal, the water temperature setting can be corrected in time. This visualized data presentation improves the controllability of the operation.

[0039] Please see Figure 3As shown, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, it further includes a battery 70 and a charging module 80. The battery 70 and the charging module 80 are mounted on the housing assembly 20. The charging module 80 includes a charging interface or a wireless charging coil for charging the battery 70. The battery 70 is electrically connected to the control module 50, and the charging module 80 is electrically connected to the battery 70. The battery 70 supplies power to the detection module 40 and the control module 50. Specifically, the battery 70 is electrically connected to the detection module 40, the control module 50, the communication module 90, and the display module 60 through a power management circuit. The power management circuit is used to distribute and control the power output. In a specific embodiment, the battery 70 may be, for example, a lithium battery, and the charging module 80 may be, for example, mounted on a separate circuit board. The advantages of lithium batteries are high energy density, long cycle life, and no memory effect, which can provide stable and long-lasting power support for the detection module 40 and the communication module 90. The charging module 80 adopts a separate circuit board design, which has the advantages of flexible layout, good heat dissipation, and easy maintenance. In other embodiments, the power system can also be a nickel-metal hydride battery, a supercapacitor, or a wireless charging module, which can be flexibly selected according to the device's power consumption, charging efficiency, and safety requirements in practical applications. By integrating the battery 70 and the charging module 80 into the housing assembly 20, the self-sustaining power supply and cyclic charging function of the beverage cup 100 detection system are realized, solving the problem of traditional wired power supply methods limiting device mobility and usage scenarios. The built-in battery 70 provides stable power support for the control module 50, detection module 40, etc., freeing the device from the constraints of power cords and allowing it to be used freely at any location on the bar. The charging module 80 provides convenient energy replenishment through wired / wireless means, ensuring continuous and reliable operation of the system. This self-powered design expands the flexibility of device deployment.

[0040] Please see Figure 2 , 3As shown, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the housing assembly 20 includes a base 21, a first cylindrical sidewall 22, and a second cylindrical sidewall 23; the first cylindrical sidewall 22 is detachably connected to the base 21, and the second cylindrical sidewall 23 is coaxially arranged with the first cylindrical sidewall 22 and detachably connected to it; a floating bracket 30 is provided at the bottom of the cup body 10, and the floating bracket 30 is connected to the base 21 through the weight detection module 43; the floating bracket 30 can move slightly relative to the base 21 as the weight of the cup body 10 changes, so as to trigger the weight detection module 43 to work; the control module 50 and the communication module 90 are located in a first space defined by the base 21, the floating bracket 30, and the first cylindrical sidewall 22, and the second cylindrical sidewall 23 is sleeved on the outside of the cup body 10. In specific embodiments, the base 21, the first cylindrical sidewall 22, and the second cylindrical sidewall 23 can be connected by a rotating snap-fit, which has the advantages of convenient assembly and disassembly, stable connection, and good sealing, enabling rapid assembly and maintenance of the base 21, the first cylindrical sidewall 22, and the second cylindrical sidewall 23. In other embodiments, the connection structure can also be selected by threaded connection, magnetic docking, or pin fixing, and can be flexibly selected according to waterproof rating, assembly and disassembly frequency, and cost control requirements in practical applications. By adopting a layered and detachable shell assembly 20 design, the device achieves dual optimization of thermal and electrical isolation and convenient maintenance. Specifically, the floating bracket 30 isolates electronic components such as the control module 50 and communication module 90 in the bottom first space, forming a physical separation from the upper cup body 10 containing hot drinks, effectively preventing thermal damage to electronic components from high temperatures. The detachable structure of the second cylindrical sidewall 23 and the first cylindrical sidewall 22 facilitates rapid disassembly and maintenance. This modular and layered structure not only significantly improves the service life and measurement stability of electronic components, but also fundamentally improves the efficiency of disassembly and maintenance.

[0041] Please see Figure 2 , 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the display module 60 is disposed in the first space, and the first cylindrical sidewall 22 is provided with a light-transmitting part 221 for exposing the display module 60. The display module 60 is electrically connected to the control module 50. By integrating the display module 60 into the first space and displaying data externally through the light-transmitting part 221, centralized protection of electronic components is achieved. The display module 60 is built into the first space formed by the base 21 and the first cylindrical sidewall 22, so that it and the control module 50 and other electronic components are protected by the housing, avoiding external moisture erosion and physical damage. The design of the light-transmitting part 221 ensures the visibility of the displayed content and maintains the airtightness of the housing. This layout solves the problem that external displays are easily damaged by beverage splashes, and ensures that operators can intuitively read parameter information. At the same time, the modular integrated design facilitates overall disassembly and assembly during production line assembly and maintenance.

[0042] Please see Figure 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the battery 70 and the charging module 80 are mounted on the base 21. By centrally mounting the battery 70 and the charging module 80 on the base 21, the stability and maintainability of the power supply system are both improved. The base 21, as the load-bearing foundation of the housing assembly 20, provides a stable mounting platform for the battery 70, preventing the power connection from becoming loose due to the movement or tilting of the cup body 10. At the same time, this bottom-mounted layout allows the power supply system to form a compact connection with other electronic modules, shortening the power transmission path and facilitating quick maintenance or replacement of the battery 70 by disassembling the first cylindrical sidewall 22. The integrated design of the charging module 80 further ensures that the device can be wired / wirelessly charged at any time via the base 21. This spatial planning optimizes the internal heat distribution management of the product and provides users with a convenient energy maintenance solution.

[0043] Please see Figure 7 , 8As shown, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the temperature detection module 41 and the dissolved substance content detection module 42 are installed between the floating support 30 and the cup body 10. The floating support 30 is provided with a mounting groove for fixing the temperature detection module 41 and / or the dissolved substance content detection module 42. The temperature probe 411 and the dissolved substance content probe 421 penetrate the bottom wall of the cup body 10 and protrude inside the cup body 10. A sealing structure is provided between the temperature probe 411 and / or the dissolved substance content probe 421 and the bottom wall of the cup body 10. The sealing structure includes a sealing ring or sealant to prevent beverage leakage into the floating support 30. By installing the temperature detection module 41 and the dissolved substance content detection module 42 between the floating bracket 30 and the cup body 10, the sensor detection system achieves accurate measurement. The floating bracket 30's suspended design allows the detection module 40 to move synchronously with the cup body 10, ensuring that the temperature probe 411 and the dissolved substance content probe 421 maintain stable contact with the beverage to obtain accurate real-time data. It also avoids interference with measurement accuracy caused by the vibration of the cup body 10 through mechanical decoupling. At the same time, this integrated layout allows multiple sensors to be concentrated in the liquid contact area, which not only shortens the detection response time but also facilitates the overall maintenance or calibration of the sensors by disassembling and assembling the floating bracket 30. Ultimately, it improves measurement accuracy while simplifying the equipment maintenance process. By penetrating the bottom wall of the cup body 10 and extending it into the interior, the temperature probe 411 and the dissolved substance content probe 421 achieve direct contact measurement between the detection element and the beverage, thereby significantly improving the real-time performance and accuracy of data acquisition. The through-hole design of the probes allows them to be completely immersed in the liquid, avoiding the measurement lag problem of traditional external sensors. The temperature probe 411 can directly sense the core temperature change of the beverage, and the dissolved substance content probe 421 can reflect the dynamic concentration of the solution in real time. At the same time, the bottom wall mounting method ensures that the probes can effectively contact the beverage regardless of the liquid volume, ensuring the reliability of the detection data.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 As shown, in an optional embodiment of this utility model, the mixing unit 205 includes an extraction device. The extraction device is particularly suitable for coffee extraction scenarios. During coffee preparation, the extraction device and the dissolved matter content detection module 42 of the beverage cup 100 form a closed-loop feedback to precisely control the degree of coffee extraction. Simultaneously, the water temperature data monitored in real time by the temperature probe 411 is fed back to the liquid phase supply unit 203, dynamically adjusting the heating system to stabilize the water temperature within the optimal extraction range. Meanwhile, the flow control module 2032 adjusts the water injection rate according to the characteristics of the coffee powder to avoid over-extraction or under-extraction. This intelligent linkage system is especially suitable for scenarios with high requirements for coffee quality, ensuring both the uniformity of extraction and consistent flavor in each cup of coffee, while significantly reducing the operational difficulty for baristas, improving product quality while reducing operating costs.

[0045] The application method of this utility model is described below in the context of coffee making, for example: First, the system uses TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), temperature, water volume, and flow rate as core monitoring indicators, and presets the optimal parameter range in the database for different extraction methods such as espresso, pour-over coffee, and French press. For example, the standard parameters for espresso are: TDS: 8-12%, water temperature: 92℃, water volume: 36g, and flow rate: 25-30s; the standard parameters for pour-over coffee are: TDS: 1.15%-1.35%, water temperature: 85-92℃, with flow rate management divided into the initial stage (0-30s) and the middle stage (30-120s). Then, a graded judgment logic is used for dynamic adjustment. Taking pour-over coffee as an example, when the detected TDS is below 1.15%, it is judged as insufficient extraction, and compensation will be made by extending the extraction time or increasing the water temperature; conversely, if the TDS exceeds 1.45%, the over-extraction correction program is activated. Temperature control adopts a closed-loop feedback control algorithm, which compares the measured value with the target value in real time: when the temperature is insufficient, automatic heating compensation is provided; when it is too high, a cooling mechanism is triggered. For liquid volume deviation, the system will achieve the coffee-liquid ratio balance by extending the extraction or adjusting the water flow rate to ensure sufficient extraction. In practice, the system executes a combined adjustment strategy based on the detection results. For example, when both low TDS and insufficient temperature are present, it simultaneously implements a combination of adjustments: increasing the water temperature by 2-5°C, extending the extraction time by 5 seconds, and refining the grind size. If only TDS is low while the temperature is normal, it specifically extends the extraction time by 5-10 seconds or increases the coffee grounds by 0.5g. For abnormal liquid volume, the system fine-tunes the water temperature (±1°C) while adjusting the water volume to maintain stable TDS. All adjustment data is recorded to optimize subsequent grind size and coffee grounds settings, forming a closed-loop control for continuous improvement. This intelligent linkage mechanism significantly improves the stability of coffee product quality.

[0046] It should be noted that the above parameter adjustment strategies are merely exemplary solutions and are not necessary conditions for implementing this utility model. In practical applications, specific control strategies can be flexibly adjusted and optimized according to different beverage types (such as tea, juice, etc.), raw material characteristics (such as coffee bean varieties, roasting levels, etc.), and personalized user needs.

[0047] In summary, this invention constructs a complete intelligent beverage preparation system through deep collaboration between the beverage cup and the beverage equipment, achieving technological optimization from one-way control to two-way interaction. Real-time detection data from the beverage cup is fed back to the control unit of the beverage equipment via a communication module, forming a closed-loop control system. This allows extraction parameters to be dynamically optimized based on actual beverage quality, breaking through the limitations of traditional kitchen appliances' one-way output. Simultaneously, the system-level integrated design organically unifies discrete preparation steps, such as raw material processing, mixing and extraction, and quality testing. This not only solves the quality fluctuation problem caused by parameter disconnection in each step but also provides the possibility for personalized beverage customization through historical data accumulation.
