By setting multiple independent vending units, the device can serve multiple customers simultaneously. Furthermore, the precise alignment of the cup slots with the wine dispensing head provides physical positioning and support for users to receive the wine. This significantly improves the vending efficiency of the device and reduces user waiting time. The user-friendly design optimizes the user experience and enhances the convenience and neatness of the service. The remaining structures and components are as described in Implementation Method 1 and will not be repeated.

[0019] Implementation Method 3: In this layered intelligent beer dispensing device, the refrigeration chamber 11 is formed within the main frame 1 below the cap brim assembly 3. The refrigeration chamber 11 houses all components requiring a low-temperature environment, including the beer storage tank 6 and beer supply pipeline system 61, the water purification device 7 and flushing pipeline system 71, the CO2 cylinder 8 and pressurization pipeline system 81, and the refrigeration unit 9. The beer supply pipeline system 61 includes a beer supply pipeline 611 connecting the beer storage tank 6 and each beer dispensing head 21, a beer supply solenoid valve 612 for controlling the on / off state, and a flow meter 613 for measurement, located on each branch of the beer supply pipeline 611. The flushing pipeline... System 71 includes a flushing pipe 711 for connecting the water purification device 7 and the beer supply pipe 611, and a flushing solenoid valve 712 installed on the flushing pipe 711 for controlling its on / off state; the pressurization pipe system 81 includes a pressurization pipe 811 for connecting the CO2 cylinder 8 and the beer storage tank 6, and a pressurization solenoid valve 812 installed on the pressurization pipe 811 for controlling its on / off state; the refrigeration unit 9 includes an evaporator 91 and a circulating fan 92, the circulating fan 92 driving air in the refrigerator compartment 11 to flow through the evaporator 91 to cool the refrigerator compartment 11 and its internal beer storage tank 6 and beer supply pipe system 61. The pressurization system provides power for beer dispensing, the beer supply system performs precise dispensing, the flushing system ensures pipe hygiene, and the refrigeration unit provides a continuous low-temperature environment for the entire refrigerator compartment through air cooling. These four systems work together to form the technical foundation for stable, hygienic, and chilled beer dispensing. This system achieves automated, metered, and fresh-preserving beer sales, ensuring stable product quality. Integrated piping design and flushing functions ensure food safety and hygiene. The air-cooled refrigeration structure is simple and reliable, providing uniform cooling to all internal components. The main frame 1 is covered with an insulation layer 111 on the inner wall of the cold storage compartment 11. The insulation layer 111, using its low thermal conductivity material, establishes a thermal barrier between the cold storage compartment 11 and the external environment, effectively preventing external heat from entering and preventing internal cold air from leaking out. This greatly improves the equipment's cold-keeping performance, ensuring stable internal temperature within the cold storage compartment, thereby guaranteeing the taste and quality of the beer. Simultaneously, it significantly reduces the operating load and energy consumption of the refrigeration system, achieving energy conservation and environmental protection. The remaining structures and components are as described in Embodiment 2 and will not be repeated.

[0020] Implementation Method 4: In this layered intelligent wine vending device, the equipment chamber 12 is formed within the main frame 1 above the cap brim assembly 3. The equipment chamber 12 centrally houses components that generate heat or do not require refrigeration, including a cooling outdoor unit 93 and a power supply system 10. The cooling outdoor unit 93 is connected to the evaporator 93 of the cooling indoor unit assembly 9 in the cold storage compartment 11 via a refrigerant pipeline 94, forming a refrigeration circuit. The power supply system 10 includes a solar photovoltaic panel 101 mounted on the top of the main frame 1 and an energy storage battery 102 located within the equipment chamber 12. The solar photovoltaic panel 101 and the energy storage battery 102 are electrically connected and provide green energy to the device. By centrally arranging the heat-generating cooling outdoor unit 93 and the energy storage battery 102 within the equipment chamber 12, which is isolated from the cold storage compartment, a hot and cold zone is achieved. Simultaneously, a self-sustaining green power supply circuit composed of the solar photovoltaic panel 101 and the energy storage battery 102 is constructed. The layout of hot and cold zones avoids interference from the heat generated by the equipment itself on the cooling effect, improving cooling efficiency and equipment operation stability. The integrated solar power supply system reduces dependence on mains power, saves operating costs, makes equipment deployment more flexible, and conforms to the trend of green environmental protection. The remaining structures and components are as described in Embodiment 3 and will not be described again.

[0021] During operation: In standby mode, the power supply system 10 of the equipment continues to operate. The solar photovoltaic panel 101 on the top absorbs solar energy to charge the energy storage battery 102 located in the equipment room 12, which in turn provides a stable power supply to the entire equipment. At the same time, the cooling system starts. The outdoor cooling unit 93 located in the equipment room 12 forms a cooling circuit with the indoor cooling unit 9 in the cold storage compartment 11 through the refrigerant pipeline 94. The indoor cooling unit 9 continuously cools the cold storage compartment 11 through the circulating fan. The insulation layer 111 effectively locks in the cold air, ensuring that the internal beer storage tank 6 and the beer supply pipeline system 61 are maintained at the optimal drinking temperature. At this time, the circular advertising display screen 52 located above the cap brim assembly 3 plays commercial advertisements, while the circular bidding display screen 51 below displays the dynamic prices of each beer in real time based on data from the backend server, attracting customers.

[0022] When serving beer, customers can place their glasses in the cup slots 41 on the skirt assembly 4, select any vending unit 2, browse product information on the display screen 22, and scan a code to pay. After successful payment, the central server sends a dispensing instruction to the vending unit. Upon receiving the instruction, the pressurization solenoid valve 812 of the pressurization pipeline system 81 opens, and high-pressure gas from the CO2 cylinder 8 enters the designated beer storage tank 6 through the pressurization pipeline 811 for pressurization. Subsequently, the corresponding branch of the beer supply pipeline system 61 opens, and the pressurized chilled beer flows from the storage tank 6 through the beer supply pipeline 611, and is accurately measured by the flow meter 613. The beer finally flows from the dispensing head 21 into the glass in the cup slot 41. If any beer overflows, it will be collected by the overflow prevention trough 42 below to keep the environment clean. When the flow meter 613 detects that the output volume has reached the preset value, the solenoid valve 612 for dispensing alcohol and the solenoid valve 812 for pressurizing alcohol automatically close, ending the dispensing process. The entire device is supported by the main frame 1, ensuring a stable and reliable structure.

[0023] After the wine is sold, the equipment can start a self-cleaning program. The flushing solenoid valve 712 of the flushing pipeline system 71 is opened, and clean water from the water purification device 7 enters through the flushing pipeline 711 to flush the entire wine supply pipeline system 61, ensuring pipeline hygiene.

[0024] This layered intelligent beer vending machine solves the problems of existing self-service beer vending equipment, such as rigid structure, limited functionality, difficult transportation and installation, and low operational efficiency. It boasts advantages such as convenient assembly, high integration, stable operation, complete functionality, and energy saving.

[0025] (2) It integrates three types of screens: sales display screen, circular bidding display screen and circular advertising display screen. It combines basic sales, dynamic price interaction and commercial advertising playback into one, creating a novel "new retail" consumption scenario that can effectively attract customers and improve user experience and sales.

[0026] (3) The main frame is divided into an upper equipment room and a lower cold storage room in a hot and cold zone layout. This physically isolates the heat-generating outdoor refrigeration units from the beer storage tanks that require low temperatures, avoiding heat interference, significantly improving refrigeration efficiency and equipment operation stability, and also facilitating zoned maintenance.

[0027] (4) It integrates a complete beer supply, pressurization, rinsing and refrigeration system. The precise flow meter ensures the accuracy of beer dispensing, the stable pressurization system ensures the taste of beer, the automated rinsing system ensures food safety and hygiene, and the efficient refrigeration system and insulation layer ensure the beer is always ice-cold.

[0028] (5) The solar photovoltaic panels on the top of the equipment and the internal energy storage battery constitute an independent power supply system, which effectively reduces the dependence on mains power and operating costs, conforms to the trend of green energy saving, and also makes the equipment more flexible to be deployed in outdoor squares, scenic spots and other places where power access is inconvenient.
