Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] Example 1 refer to Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a pharmaceutical and food beverage equipment with low-temperature storage, including a main body 100, an extraction unit 200, a water supply unit 300, a refrigerator 400, and a concentrate unit 500. The main body 100 is equipped with a feeding unit for feeding stored dry materials to the extraction unit 200. The extraction unit 200, water supply unit 300, and refrigerator 400 are all located within the main body 100. The concentrate unit 500 is located within the refrigerator 400. A compressor is installed on the top of the refrigerator 400, and heat is dissipated through ventilation holes on the main body 100. The concentrate unit 500 is stored at low temperatures within the refrigerator 400, thereby increasing the storage time of the concentrate, ensuring storage quality, adapting to high-temperature preparation environments, and guaranteeing beverage quality.

[0024] The water supply unit 300 is connected to the extraction unit 200, injecting steam into the extraction unit 200 to extract the dry material. Both the extraction unit 200 and the concentrate unit 500 are connected to the water outlet 110 of the equipment body 100, so that the extract and concentrate are discharged through the water outlet 110 and mixed in the container to complete the preparation of the required medicinal food beverage.

[0025] To further explain, the concentrate unit 500 includes a storage tank 510, a supply pump 520, and an outlet manifold 530. The supply pump 520 is located above the refrigerator body 400, and the storage tank 510 is located below the refrigerator body 400. The storage tank 510 is stably connected to the refrigerator body 400 via a support bracket.

[0026] The inlet of the liquid supply pump 520 is connected to the storage tank 510. After the liquid supply pump 520 is started, it can draw the concentrate in the storage tank 510. The liquid supply pump 520 can be a peristaltic pump. The outlet of the liquid supply pump 520 is connected to the inlet of the liquid outlet manifold 530. The outlet of the liquid outlet manifold 530 passes through the refrigerator body 400 and is connected to the water outlet 110. The liquid supply pump 520 discharges the drawn concentrate from its outlet to the inlet of the liquid outlet manifold 530. The concentrate flows through the liquid outlet manifold 530 to the water outlet 110. The water outlet 110 can be composed of the liquid outlet manifold 530 for discharging the concentrate and the extract pipe for discharging the extract. The extract pipe is connected to the outlet of the extraction unit 200. During beverage preparation, the extract can be discharged separately or the extract and concentrate can be discharged simultaneously to meet the different beverage flavor requirements.

[0027] Specifically, to provide different concentrated flavors, there are usually multiple storage tanks 510, such as five, which can be selected according to the actual number of concentrated flavors. In this case, multiple storage tanks 510 are arranged in an array and connected to the refrigerator body 400 through a support bracket. In order to improve efficiency when extracting multiple concentrated liquids, it is preferable that the supply pumps 520 correspond one-to-one with the storage tanks 510. Therefore, the number of supply pumps 520 and the number of storage tanks 510 are both multiple and equal. The multiple supply pumps 520 are arranged in an array on the periphery of the top inside the refrigerator body 400. In order to achieve a more accurate pumping volume of concentrated liquid, a weighing sensor can be installed at the bottom of the storage tank 510. The weighing sensor is connected to the signal of the supply pump 520 to achieve quantitative pumping. The following explanation is based on the premise that there are six supply pumps 520 and six storage tanks 510.

[0028] At this time, the inlet of each liquid supply pump 520 is connected to the corresponding storage tank 510 through the suction pipe 521, and the outlet of each liquid supply pump 520 is connected to the first inlet of the collection pipe 523 through the delivery pipe 522. The outlet of the collection pipe 523 is connected to the inlet of the main outlet pipe 530. Figure 5 Similarly, to ensure preparation efficiency, it is preferable that the number of first inlets on the collection pipe 523 is the same as the number of storage tanks 510, that is, six. The six first inlets are arranged at intervals along the length of the collection pipe 523, preferably at equal intervals, so that each type of concentrate can be injected into the collection pipe 523 at the same time. The mixed concentrate flows through the collection pipe 523 to the outlet manifold 530 for discharge, so that the required concentrate is mixed in the collection pipe in advance, ensuring that the concentrate injected into the container is mixed evenly.

[0029] Optionally, the inlet end of the liquid supply pump 520 is connected to the corresponding storage tank 510 through two suction pipes 521. The storage tank 510 is connected to the suction pipe 521 through a three-way pipe. The outlet end of the liquid supply pump 520 is connected to the corresponding first inlet of the collection pipe 523 through two delivery pipes 522. That is, the two delivery pipes 522 are connected to the first inlet through a three-way pipe.

[0030] To avoid the need for different concentrates in two consecutive preparations of medicinal food and beverages, and to prevent residual concentrate in the previous dispensing manifold 530 from affecting the quality of the next batch of beverages, it is necessary to clean the dispensing manifold 530.

[0031] Specifically, a second inlet is provided on the liquid collection pipe 523, and a first cleaning pipe 311 is connected to the second inlet. The second inlet is connected to the outlet of the water supply unit 300 through the first cleaning pipe 311, so that the water supply unit 300 injects clean water into the liquid collection pipe 523 through the first cleaning pipe 311 and then discharges it through the liquid outlet main pipe 530, thereby achieving the removal of residual concentrate.

[0032] To further explain, the water supply unit 300 includes a water storage tank 310 and a preheating tank 320. The water storage tank 310 is located above the preheating tank 320. The first outlet at the bottom of the water storage tank 310 is connected to the second inlet on the collection pipe 523 through the first cleaning pipe 311 to provide cleaning water to it.

[0033] The second outlet of the water storage tank 310 is connected to the extraction unit 200 through the preheating tank 320. By adding the preheating tank 320, the water provided by the water storage tank 310 can be preheated, for example, to 80°C. When extraction is required, the hot water in the preheating tank 320 is injected into the extraction unit 200 for reheating to generate steam for extraction, which shortens the steam generation time and improves the preparation efficiency.

[0034] Specifically, a second cleaning pipe 321 is connected to the first outlet of the preheating tank 320, and the inlet of the liquid extraction pipe 521 is connected to the liquid storage tank 510 or the outlet of the second cleaning pipe 321.

[0035] In order to clean the concentrate unit 500, for example after replacing some of the liquid storage tanks 510 in the refrigerator 400, in order to avoid the original concentrate remaining in the liquid extraction pipe 521, liquid supply pump 520, liquid delivery pipe 522, liquid collection pipe 523 and liquid outlet main pipe 530, a second cleaning pipe 321 is added. The second cleaning pipe 321 can be connected to the liquid inlet of the liquid extraction pipe 521 through a control valve. Preferably, the second cleaning pipe 321 is set in the equipment body 100. When replacing the liquid storage tank 510, the second cleaning pipe 321 is first connected to the corresponding liquid extraction pipe 521 and cleaned with hot water, and then the liquid extraction pipe 521 is connected to the replaced liquid storage tank 510.

[0036] Further explanation: The extraction unit 200 includes a steam generator 210 and an extraction tank 220. The second outlet of the preheating tank 320 is connected to the extraction tank 220 through the steam generator 210, and the outlet of the extraction tank 220 is connected to the water outlet 110 through the extraction liquid pipe. Optionally, a three-way pipe is provided on the preheating tank 320, which is connected to the steam generator 210 and the second cleaning pipe 321 respectively, and the on / off control is performed by a control valve. After the preheating tank 320 injects hot water into the steam generator 210, the steam generator 210 heats the steam and injects it into the extraction tank 220 for extraction. Finally, the extraction liquid is discharged through the extraction liquid pipe in the water outlet 110.

[0037] The main body 100 is equipped with a protective door 120, which is located on the outside of the refrigerator 400. When not in use, the second cleaning pipe 321 can be placed behind the protective door 120. The protective door 120 covers the outside of the refrigerator 400. The refrigerator 400 has a built-in insulation door to ensure stable internal temperature and to facilitate operation when replacing the liquid storage tank 510.
