[0014] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: A water shortage tea bar machine with liquid level feedback includes a body 1. A water receiving platform 2 is provided on the top of the body 1. A water outlet device 22 is provided on the top of one side of the water receiving platform 2. Multiple installation ports 23 are provided at the bottom of the water outlet device 22. A water outlet 25 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the installation port 23. A control valve 24 is provided inside the water outlet device 22 above the water outlet 25. A water storage tank 3 is provided inside the body 1. At least two partitions 31 are provided inside the water storage tank 3 to divide the inner cavity of the water storage tank 3 into several chambers. A liquid level sensor 32 for detecting liquid level information is provided on the top of the inner wall of each chamber. Multiple water pumps 33 are provided on one side of the water storage tank 3 and are respectively connected to each chamber.

[0016] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The control valve 24 includes a servo motor 241. The output end of the servo motor 241 is fixedly connected to a drive gear 242. A driven gear 243 meshes with one side of the drive gear 242. Multiple first magnetic rings 244 are provided on the inner wall of the driven gear 243. A fixed sleeve 245 is provided on the inner wall of the outlet 25. A movable valve plate 246 is movably connected to the top of the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 245. A fixed valve plate 247 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 245. A second magnetic ring 248 that attracts the first magnetic rings 244 is provided on the outer side of the movable valve plate 246. Both the movable valve plate 246 and the fixed valve plate 247 have flow ports 249 on their surfaces.

[0017] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The inner wall of the fixed sleeve 245 is transitionally fitted to the outer side of the movable valve plate 246, the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 245 is interference-fitted to the outer side of the fixed valve plate 247, and the corresponding surfaces of the fixed valve plate 247 and the movable valve plate 246 are transitionally fitted. In this embodiment, liquid is prevented from passing through the gap between the fixed sleeve 245, the fixed valve plate 247, and the second magnetic ring 248, thus ensuring the accuracy of the adjusted water output speed.

[0018] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-3 The machine body 1 is equipped with a controller, which is connected to the liquid level sensor 32. The controller is used to receive the signal from the liquid level sensor 32 and start or stop the water pump 33 according to the signal value. In this embodiment, the liquid level sensor 32 detects the liquid level information of each chamber in the water storage tank 3, and the controller controls the water pump 33 to replenish water to each chamber, so that the tea bar machine can automatically add water.

[0019] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4-5 An infrared sensor 26 is installed on one side of each water outlet 25 at the bottom of the water dispensing device 22. The infrared sensor 26 is used to detect whether there is an object at the bottom of the water outlet 25 and is connected to the controller. The controller is electrically connected to the servo motor 241 through a solenoid valve and a relay. In this embodiment, the infrared sensor 26 detects whether there is a water container below the water outlet 25. When the container is placed below the water outlet 25, the controller starts the servo motor 241, which opens the valve in the control valve 24 and starts the water dispensing device 22 to realize automatic water dispensing operation. When the container leaves the bottom of the water outlet 25, it is detected by the infrared sensor 26. The controller controls the water dispensing device 22 to stop dispensing water and closes the valve in the control valve 24 to avoid waste of beverages.

[0020] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 A water pipe connector 331 is provided at the suction end of the water pump 33. The water pipe connector 331 protrudes from the back of the body 1. In this embodiment, a water pipe can be connected through the water pipe connector 331, so that the water pump 33 can transmit the beverage water source to the corresponding chamber inside the water storage tank 3.

[0021] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The front of the water receiving platform 2 is equipped with a display device 21 for displaying liquid level information. The display device 21 is electrically connected to the controller. The controller collects the liquid level information of each chamber in the water storage tank 3 and sends the information to the display device 21. In this embodiment, by displaying the liquid level information on the display device 21 in real time, the user can observe the remaining beverage when receiving water. Based on the liquid level, the user can prepare the corresponding beverage water source in advance.

[0022] Working principle of this utility model: Step 1: The water level in each chamber of the water tank 3 is detected by the liquid level sensor 32, and the water level signal is transmitted to the controller in real time. When the controller determines that the beverage water level in any chamber of the water tank 3 has dropped to a predetermined threshold, the water pump 33 is started. The corresponding beverage is transported to the corresponding chamber through the water source connected to it to replenish the beverage until the water level in the chamber rises to the predetermined threshold. Then, the water pump 33 is turned off by the controller, and the beverage transport stops to prevent liquid from overflowing from the chamber. At the same time, after the liquid level sensor 32 detects the water level signal of each chamber, the controller transmits the water level status to the display device 21. The display device 21 displays the water level status of each chamber to remind the user so that they can prepare the corresponding beverage water source in advance and avoid the tea bar machine's water dispensing device from continuing to work due to water shortage in the chamber, which could damage the water dispensing mechanism. Step 2: Power is supplied by the servo motor 241 to control the rotation of the drive gear 242. Since the outer edge of the drive gear 242 meshes with the outer edge of the driven gear 243, it drives the driven gear 243 to rotate. The rotation of the driven gear 243 drives the first magnetic ring 244 on its inner wall to rotate. Since the corresponding surfaces of the first magnetic ring 244 and the second magnetic ring 248 attract each other, under the action of attraction, the second magnetic ring 248 drives the movable valve plate 246 to rotate along the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 245, and the flow port 249 opened on the surface of the movable valve plate 246 is opened. The position changes. Since the surface of the fixed valve plate 247 also has a flow port 249, when the movable valve plate 246 rotates, the overlapping area of ​​the two flow ports 249 changes. When the overlapping area of ​​the two flow ports 249 gradually increases, the speed of the liquid passing through the outlet 25 gradually increases. When the overlapping area of ​​the two flow ports 249 gradually decreases, the speed of the liquid passing through the outlet 25 decreases. When the two flow ports 249 do not overlap at all, the liquid cannot pass through the outlet 25. Thus, the water flow rate of the outlet 25 can be adjusted by controlling the valve 24.

[0023] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. This utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
