[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0033] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A beverage machine integrating paper cup placement function includes a front panel 1, with a protective shell 10 fixedly installed at the rear end of the front panel 1. A cup storage assembly 5 and a lid storage assembly 3 are both located inside the protective shell 10. A water receiving trough 21 is opened at the front end of the front panel 1, and a water receiving assembly 2 is installed inside the water receiving trough 21. The water receiving assembly 2 is used to temporarily hold a cup 11 for receiving water and to inject hot water into the cup 11. Several cup storage assemblies 5 are provided on both sides of the water receiving trough 21. The cup storage assemblies 5 are used to store the cup 11, and the cup storage assemblies 5 have internal retaining mechanisms. The stopping component 6 is used to prevent the cup body 11 inside the cup storage component 5 from sliding down. A connecting component 7 is provided on one side of the stopping component 6. The connecting component 7 is used to allow the stopping component 6 to rotate at a certain angle to avoid excessive resistance when pulling out the cup body 11, which would cause the cup body 11 to deform. The cup body 11 is specifically a paper cup. A sealing component 4 is provided on both sides of the water receiving tank 21 below. The sealing component 4 is located below several cup storage components 5. A lid storage component 3 is provided at the rear end of the sealing component 4. The lid storage component 3 is used to store the cup lid 12.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the cup storage assembly 5 includes a fixing cylinder 51 fixed to the rear end of the front plate 1. The fixing cylinder 51 is inclined. The cups 11 stacked inside the fixing cylinder 51 and the connecting groove 52 slide down through the inclined angle. The front end of the fixing cylinder 51 passes through the front plate 1 and communicates with the front of the front plate 1. A connecting groove 52 is provided at the rear inside the fixing cylinder 51. A storage cylinder 53 is fixed inside the connecting groove 52. The storage cylinder 53 is used to store more cups 11.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the blocking component 6 includes two mounting slots 61 opened on both sides of the rear end of the fixed cylinder 51. The mounting slots 61 are used to connect with the connecting component 7. The interior of the mounting slots 61 is provided with elastic members. The two elastic members are symmetrically arranged and the cup body 11 is blocked by the elastic members on both sides.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the elastic component includes a mounting spring 62. The mounting spring 62, the first C-shaped spring 63, and the second C-shaped spring 64 are integrally formed. The mounting spring 62 has a first C-shaped spring 63 on one side near the inside of the fixed cylinder 51. The first C-shaped spring 63 blocks the downward sliding cup body 11, so that only the cup body 11 is exposed, making it convenient for the user to hold the cup body 11 and pull it outward. One end of the first C-shaped spring 63 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the mounting spring 62.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the connecting component 7 includes a mounting strip 71 fixed to the side of the mounting spring 62 away from the first C-shaped spring 63. The mounting strip 71 is provided with a rotating rod 73 above and below. The rotating rod 73 is used to enable the blocking component 6 to rotate, so as to avoid excessive blocking and deformation of the cup body 11. The rotating rod 73 is provided with a rotating groove 75 on the outside.

[0040] The connecting assembly 7 also includes two limiting blocks 72 respectively fixed to the top and bottom of the mounting strip 71. Limiting grooves 74 are provided at both the top and bottom of the mounting groove 61. The limiting grooves 74 and the limiting blocks 72 are used to limit the angle of rotation of the stopping assembly 6 around the rotating rod 73. The two limiting blocks 72 are located inside the two limiting grooves 74, and the interior of the limiting groove 74 is larger than that of the limiting blocks 72, allowing the mounting spring 62 to rotate around the rotating rod 73. After rotating a certain angle, the limiting blocks 72 are restrained by the interior of the limiting groove 74. The slight rotation, blocked by the wall, prevents the cup body 11 from undergoing excessive deformation due to the elasticity and obstruction of the C-shaped spring 63 when it breaks outward. At the same time, it reduces the bending angle of the C-shaped spring 63 and the mounting spring 62, reduces the load, and thus extends the service life. The rotating groove 75 is opened inside the limiting groove 74 at the end away from the mounting spring 62. The rotating rod 73 is fixed to the side of the limiting block 72 away from the mounting spring 62. The rotating rod 73 is rotatably connected to the inside of the rotating groove 75.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the water receiving assembly 2 includes a water receiving box 22, which is located at the bottom of the water receiving tank 21. The top of the water receiving box 22 has a protruding edge to restrict the position of the placement plate 23 and facilitate direct separation of the placement plate 23 from the water receiving tank 21. The top of the water receiving box 22 has the placement plate 23, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, the cup body 11 is placed on the placement plate 23 to collect the water flowing out of the water head 24. The placement plate 23 has several connecting holes for water to flow into the water receiving tank 21. The placement plate 23 is connected to an external hot water source through a pipe. By controlling the valve and the water pump, the hot water is pumped to the placement plate 23 and flows out through the placement plate 23. The front end of the front plate 1 is equipped with a control switch, which is electrically connected to the valve and the water pump that control the flow of the hot water source. When the user presses the switch, the valve opens and the water pump starts, pumping the hot water source into the placement plate 23.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] The beverage machine with integrated paper cup placement function provided in Example 1 has been further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the lid storage assembly 3 includes a placement box 32, which is open at the top and front. The front of the front panel 1 has a lid storage groove 31. The placement box 32 is used to store multiple cup lids 12. The placement box 32 is located inside the lid storage groove 31. A connecting strip 33 is fixedly provided on the outside of the placement box 32. The connecting strip 33 is located inside the lid storage groove 31. The connecting strip 33 is "C" shaped and matches the shape of the outside of the placement box 32. The connecting strip 33 makes the placement box 32 heavier at the back and lighter at the front. The front of the placement box 32 is slightly tilted upwards. At the same time, it can push the mounting cover 41 against the top of the lid storage groove 31, increasing the friction between them. This can further prevent the placement box 32 and the mounting cover 41 from easily sliding outwards, thus preventing the cup lid 12 from falling to the ground.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the enclosing component 4 includes a mounting cover 41 located at the front end of the placement box 32. The mounting cover 41 has a box-shaped structure and is open at the rear end. The mounting cover 41 is located outside the placement box 32. Since the two sides at the front of the top of the placement box 32 are slightly tilted outward and the placement box 32 is made of plastic and has a certain elasticity, there is sufficient friction between the placement box 32 and the mounting cover 41 to fix the mounting cover 41 to the outside of the placement box 32. When separating the mounting cover 41 and the placement box 32, you only need to grasp the mounting cover 41 and the placement box 32 with both hands and pull them in two different directions to separate them. The mounting cover 41 is located inside the cover slot 31. The front end of the mounting cover 41 is fixedly provided with a mounting frame 42. The user can grasp the mounting frame 42 and pull it outward to easily pull the placement box 32 and the connecting strip 33 outward.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] The beverage machines with integrated paper cup placement function provided in Embodiments 1 and 2 are further optimized, such as... Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, two No. 2 C-shaped springs 64 are provided on the side of the mounting spring 62 near the inside of the fixed cylinder 51. One end of the two No. 2 C-shaped springs 64 is fixed above and below the front end of the mounting spring 62 respectively. When the protruding edge of the cup 11 on the outside of the cup mouth is pressed against the arc surface of the rear end of the No. 1 C-shaped spring 63 for a long time due to the weight of the multiple cups 11 behind it, causing the edge to deform slightly and detach from the No. 1 C-shaped spring 63, the No. 2 C-shaped springs 64 can block it at this time, achieving double protection.

[0047] The beverage machine with integrated paper cup placement function provided by this utility model is used as follows:

[0048] When it is necessary to store cup body 11 and cup lid 12, push multiple cup bodies 11 into the front opening of the fixing cylinder 51, break through the second C-shaped spring 64 and the first C-shaped spring 63 and elastically enter the storage cylinder 53 for storage, place multiple cup lids 12 inside the storage box 32, and then push the storage box 32 into the lid storage slot 31 so that the mounting cover 41 is also located inside the lid storage slot 31.

[0049] When it is time to brew a beverage, hold the cup body 11 protruding from the front end of the fixed cylinder 51 and pull it outward, thereby squeezing the first C-shaped spring 63. The arc surface of the first C-shaped spring 63 guides the installation spring 62 to rotate around the rotating rod 73 until the limiting block 72 is blocked by the limiting groove 74. Then, the first C-shaped spring 63 and the installation spring 62 undergo slight deformation and break through the first C-shaped spring 63, and then contact the second C-shaped spring 64. Contact with the second C-shaped spring 64 causes the first C-shaped spring 63 to rotate back in the opposite direction, blocking the cup body 11 from continuing to slide down the rear end. At the same time, it makes the second C-shaped spring 64 further away from the protruding edge of the cup body 11 held by the user, thereby reducing the bending range of the second C-shaped spring 64, and making it easier for the user to detach the cup body 11 from the second C-shaped spring 64 and pull it out.

[0050] Then, put coffee powder or tea leaves into the cup body 11, place the cup body 11 on the placement plate 23, press the control switch at the front of the front plate 1 to open the valve controlling the hot water source and start the water pump to pump the hot water source into the placement plate 23, so that the hot water flows into the cup body 11. After the hot water and the contents inside the cup body 11 are mixed evenly, pull the mounting frame 42 to pull out the placement box 32, take out the cup lid 12 inside the placement box 32, and put it on the top of the cup body 11.
