Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice maker technology, specifically to an ice-adding device based on a gravity sensor. Background Technology

[0002] An automatic coffee ice maker is an automated device that integrates ice-making and coffee-making functions. It is mainly used to simultaneously meet the demand for ice in coffee drinks and the need for independent ice making.

[0003] When adding ice to existing coffee ice makers, the ice cubes tend to be of varying sizes and end up in the coffee at the same time.

[0004] However, ice cubes that are too small (such as crushed ice, flake ice, or ice with very small particles) have a larger surface area than large ice cubes when making coffee or beverages. This allows for more thorough contact with air and liquid, resulting in a significantly faster melting rate. Therefore, there is a need for a device that can prevent crushed ice from entering the coffee when adding ice, thereby improving the taste of the coffee. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ice-adding device based on a gravity sensor to solve the problems mentioned in the background section. To solve these technical problems, this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model relates to an ice-adding device based on a gravity sensor, comprising: An ice maker and an ice filling port, wherein the ice filling port is fixed to the middle of one side of the ice maker; The screening assembly includes a connecting pipe, a rotating hole, a motor, a rotating shaft, and a screening screen. The connecting pipe is fixed to the ice inlet, the rotating hole is opened on the outer surface of the connecting pipe, the motor is located on one side of the outer surface of the connecting pipe, the rotating shaft is fixed to the output end of the motor and rotates through the rotating hole, and the screening screen is fixed through the outer surface of the rotating shaft and is located inside the connecting pipe.

[0006] Furthermore, a support is fixed to the outer surface of the motor, and one side of the support is fixed to the outer surface of the connecting pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, a connecting plate is fixed to one side of the lower end of the connecting pipe, and a rotating groove is formed on one side of the connecting plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a rotating column is rotatably inserted within the rotating groove, and a rotating plate is inserted through the outer surface of the rotating column.

[0009] Furthermore, a connecting hole is provided on one side of the rotating plate, which rotates through the rotating column. A collection tank is fixed on one side of the rotating plate, and the collection tank is directly opposite the connecting pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes an additional component, which includes a placement platform, a gravity sensor, and a connecting wire. The placement platform is fixed to the lower end of the ice maker, the gravity sensor is fixed inside the placement platform, and the connecting wire is connected to one side of the gravity sensor.

[0011] Furthermore, a processor is fixed to one side of the connecting line, and a display screen is fixed to the upper surface of the processor.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: This utility model relates to an ice maker, ice inlet, and sieving assembly. When adding ice to coffee, simply place the coffee cup on the platform, start the ice maker, and ice cubes will fall from the ice inlet. Then, the operator rotates the rotating plate, which aligns the collection tank directly below the connecting pipe. The sieving screen then sieves the crushed ice into the collection tank, while larger ice cubes remain on the upper surface of the sieving screen. The rotating plate is then rotated in the opposite direction, causing the collection tank to shift away from the connecting pipe. An external controller then starts the motor, which drives the rotating shaft, which in turn rotates the sieving screen, causing the larger ice cubes on the upper surface of the screen to fall into the coffee. Through physical filtration, the crushed ice and large ice cubes are separated. The smaller crushed ice passes through the sieving screen and falls into the collection tank, while the larger ice cubes remain on the upper surface of the sieving screen. This ensures that crushed and large ice cubes are distributed as needed, avoiding errors and time wasted by manual sorting. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model is an ice-adding device based on a gravity sensor, comprising: Ice maker 11 and ice inlet 12, with ice inlet 12 fixed to the middle of one side of ice maker 11; Ice maker 11 is responsible for freezing water in the water tank into ice cubes. It is the core ice-making module of the entire system. When adding ice, the ice cubes fall into the connecting pipe 21 through the ice filling port 12 or directly into the coffee cup.

[0019] The screening assembly includes a connecting pipe 21, a rotating hole 211, a motor 22, a rotating shaft 23, and a screening screen 24. The connecting pipe 21 is fixed to the ice inlet 12. The rotating hole 211 is opened on the outer surface of the connecting pipe 21. The motor 22 is located on one side of the outer surface of the connecting pipe 21. The rotating shaft 23 is fixed to the output end of the motor 22 and rotates through the rotating hole 211. The screening screen 24 is fixed through the outer surface of the rotating shaft 23 and is located inside the connecting pipe 21. The connecting pipe 21 serves as a channel for conveying ice blocks. A screening screen 24 is installed inside to separate crushed ice from large ice blocks. A rotating hole 211 is used to insert a rotating shaft 23 to ensure that the rotating shaft 23 does not rub against the connecting pipe 21 when it drives the screening screen 24 to rotate. The motor 22 provides power to drive the rotating shaft 23 and the screening screen 24 to rotate, thereby achieving ice block screening. The support platform 221 is used to support the motor 22 to ensure stable operation of the motor 22. The rotating shaft 23 is driven to rotate by the motor 22 and passes through the rotating hole 211 of the connecting pipe 21, driving the screening screen 24 to rotate. The screening screen 24 screens the crushed ice to the collection tank 28 through rotation, while retaining large ice blocks above the screen. A support platform 221 is fixed on the outer surface of the motor 22. One side of the support platform 221 is fixed to the outer surface of the connecting pipe 21. A connecting plate 25 is fixed on one side of the lower end of the connecting pipe 21. A rotating groove 251 is opened on one side of the connecting plate 25. A rotating column 26 rotates through the rotating groove 251. A rotating plate 27 passes through the outer surface of the rotating column 26. A connecting hole 271 is opened on one side of the rotating plate 27. The connecting hole 271 rotates through the rotating column 26. A collection tank 28 is fixed on one side of the rotating plate 27. The collection tank 28 is directly opposite to the connecting pipe 21. The rotating column 26 is inserted into the connecting hole 271 of the rotating plate 27, allowing the rotating plate 27 to rotate around the rotating column 26. The rotating groove 251 provides rotation space for the rotating column 26, ensuring that the rotating plate 27 can drive the collection tank 28 to move horizontally. The rotating plate 27 is manually rotated to control the alignment or misalignment of the collection tank 28 with the connecting pipe 21. The collection tank 28 is used to temporarily store the crushed ice after screening. The crushed ice falls into the collection tank 28 through the connecting pipe 21 and can be processed uniformly afterwards.

[0020] Working principle: When adding ice to coffee, simply place the coffee cup on the stand 31, then start the ice maker 11. Ice cubes will fall from the ice inlet 12. Next, the operator rotates the rotating plate 27. The rotation of the rotating plate 27 causes the collection tank 28 to align directly below the connecting pipe 21. The sieve 24 can sieve the crushed ice, causing it to fall into the collection tank 28. At this time, the large ice cubes remain on the upper surface of the sieve 24. Then, the rotating plate 27 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the collection tank 28 to be misaligned with the connecting pipe 21. Then, the motor 22 is started by the external controller. The motor 22 drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 23 synchronously drives the sieve 24 to rotate, causing the large ice cubes on the upper surface of the sieve 24 to fall down and enter the coffee. This step separates crushed ice from large ice blocks through physical filtration. Because of their small size, crushed ice passes through the screening screen 24 and falls into the collection tank 28; large ice blocks remain on the upper surface of the screening screen 24 because of their large size. This ensures that crushed ice and large ice blocks are distributed as needed, avoiding errors and time waste from manual sorting.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further includes: Add components, including a placement platform 31, a gravity sensor 32 and a connecting cable 33. The placement platform 31 is fixed to the lower end of the ice maker 11, the gravity sensor 32 is fixed inside the placement platform 31, the connecting cable 33 is connected to one side of the gravity sensor 32, a processor 34 is fixed to one side of the connecting cable 33, and a display screen 35 is fixed to the upper surface of the processor 34. The placement platform 31 serves as a support platform for the coffee cup and is fixed to the lower end of the ice maker 11 to ensure the cup is placed stably during the ice-adding process. The gravity sensor 32 detects the total weight of the coffee cup and calculates the mass of the ice cubes through changes in gravity. The connecting cable 33 transmits the electrical signal from the gravity sensor 32 to the processor 34 and provides power to the sensor. The processor 34 receives the electrical signal from the gravity sensor 32, amplifies, filters, and calibrates it (such as subtracting the weight of the empty cup), and converts it into a readable weight value. The display screen 35 displays the current weight of the ice cubes in real time, allowing the user to intuitively understand the ice-adding progress.

[0022] Working principle: The coffee cup is placed on the placement platform 31. The weight of the ice cubes is determined by the gravity sensor 32. The weight of the ice cubes is measured by the gravity sensor 32, and the electrical signal of the gravity sensor 32 is transmitted to the processor 34 through the connecting cable 33. The processor 34 then transmits the signal to the display screen 35 for display. The weight of the ice cubes is calculated by detecting the change in gravity of the coffee cup containing the ice cubes. This step is monitored in real time by gravity sensor 32 to avoid errors from manual estimation and ensure that the amount of ice in each drink is consistent.
