Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage manufacturing, and in particular to a water receiving structure and a beverage manufacturing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, the drip trays of frozen beverage makers lack baffle structures. This design flaw directly results in the drip tray losing its crucial flow-guiding function. The condensate inside the drip tray can only flow freely without restraint. It cannot utilize baffles to create segmented flow channels to weaken the flow's kinetic energy, nor can it rely on guiding structures to regulate the water's trajectory. When the machine shakes during transport or daily movement, or when a user pulls out the drip tray to empty it for cleaning, the unrestrained condensate will instantly create irregular and violent flows, easily breaching the edge limits of the drip tray and splashing outwards. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a water receiving structure and a beverage making machine that address the problem of the lack of a baffle structure in the water receiving tray of the frozen beverage making machine.

[0004] A water receiving structure includes: a receiving base shell; a flow guiding shell disposed on the receiving base shell; a side shell disposed on the receiving base shell and connected to the flow guiding shell, the receiving base shell, the flow guiding shell, and the side shell cooperating to form a water receiving space; and a baffle plate disposed on the receiving base shell and located in the water receiving space, the baffle plate dividing the water receiving space into at least two channels, the at least two channels being interconnected to form a baffle flow channel.

[0005] The above-disclosed water-receiving structure is applied to beverage making machines to collect condensate generated during operation. Compared with most traditional beverage making machine water-receiving structures on the market that lack flow guidance design, it has significant advantages. Traditional water-receiving structures, lacking flow guidance design, allow condensate to quickly impact the container wall during transportation or operation of the beverage making machine due to the lack of flow resistance, resulting in splashing. This can not only contaminate the internal circuitry, components, and surrounding work surface, affecting the equipment's lifespan and hygiene safety, but also cause inconvenience for users during cleaning and reduce the user experience. This water-receiving structure perfectly solves this problem through the synergistic action of multiple components: the base shell, as the basic load-bearing component, provides stable support for the entire water-receiving structure, while precisely cooperating with the guide shell and side shells to form a well-sealed water-receiving space, effectively preventing condensate from leaking out from structural gaps; the guide shell, installed on the base shell, guides the condensate generated by the beverage maker, ensuring that the condensate flows accurately and smoothly into the water-receiving space, preventing water from overflowing due to deviation in its falling trajectory; the side shells not only firmly connect with the base shell and guide shell, enhancing the overall structure's impact resistance, but also further prevent the water in the water-receiving space from spreading to both sides. The baffle plate, located within the water receiving space and fixed to the receiving base, divides the water receiving space into at least two interconnected channels, forming a turbulent flow channel with resistance. When condensate flows back and forth in the water receiving space due to equipment shaking or the water receiving box being pulled out, the baffle plate effectively blocks the water flow, forcing the water to flow slowly in an S-shape along the channel, greatly reducing the water flow speed and completely avoiding splashing.

[0006] In one embodiment, at least two baffles are spaced apart on the receiving base and located within the water receiving space. These baffles divide the water receiving space into multiple channels, which are sequentially connected to form the turbulent flow channel. By arranging at least two baffles spaced apart on the receiving base, a turbulent flow channel with specific resistance characteristics is constructed, providing crucial support for effective control of the condensate flow velocity. These baffles are not isolated but arranged in an orderly manner at preset intervals within the water receiving space, cleverly dividing the originally continuous space into multiple interconnected channels. These channels are sequentially connected to form a complete turbulent flow channel. When condensate enters the water receiving space, it cannot flow rapidly in a straight line due to the physical obstruction of the baffles; instead, it changes direction within the channels between adjacent baffles. With potential shaking during equipment operation, the condensate continuously contacts and collides with the baffles as it moves back and forth, experiencing flow resistance each time it passes through a channel segment. This resistance continuously weakens the kinetic energy of the condensate flow, forcing it to exhibit an S-shaped, meandering flow trajectory, repeatedly changing direction within a turbulent flow channel composed of multiple segments. Through this process, the flow velocity of the condensate is significantly reduced, effectively preventing problems such as splashing caused by excessive flow velocity.

[0007] In one embodiment, two flow guide shells are disposed on the receiving base shell and located on both sides of the receiving base shell. At least two baffles are connected to the two flow guide shells, and the baffles are perpendicular to the flow guide shells. By disposing the two flow guide shells on both sides of the receiving base shell and forming a vertical connection with at least two baffles, the flow guidance and deceleration effect of condensate in the water receiving space is further optimized. The flow guide shells on both sides not only provide stable installation support for the baffles, but their vertical connection also allows the baffles to more accurately divide the channels in the water receiving space. Since the flow guide shells are fixed on both sides of the receiving base shell, the baffles perpendicular to them can maintain a uniform spacing, ensuring that the dimensions of multiple channels are consistent and avoiding problems such as uneven flow channels and resistance imbalance caused by the tilting or displacement of the baffles. At the same time, the flow guide shells on both sides can play a preliminary guiding role for the condensate entering the water receiving space, organizing the condensate into the channels divided by the baffles and preventing the condensate from diffusing towards the edge of the receiving base shell and escaping the baffle flow channel. When the condensate flows back and forth under the shaking of the equipment, the vertically connected baffle and the guide shell together form a stable resistance structure. The baffle blocks the straight flow of the condensate, making the condensate flow more stably along the S-shaped flow channel, further weakening the flow kinetic energy, ensuring the flow velocity reduction effect, and improving the stability and reliability of the entire water receiving structure.

[0008] In one embodiment, the receiving base shell has a first central axis, and there are two flow guide shells. The two flow guide shells are disposed on the receiving base shell and are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the receiving base shell about the extension line of the first central axis. At least two baffles are distributed on the two flow guide shells along both sides of the extension line of the first central axis. By utilizing the first central axis, a precise reference is provided for the layout of the flow guide shells and baffles. The two flow guide shells are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the receiving base shell about the extension line of the first central axis, and at least two baffles are distributed on the two flow guide shells along both sides of this extension line. This symmetrical structure significantly optimizes the treatment effect of condensate in the water receiving space. The symmetrically distributed flow guide shells ensure that the force and flow guiding capacity on both sides of the receiving base shell are balanced, avoiding the problem of condensate accumulation on one side due to unilateral structural imbalance or uneven flow, ensuring that condensate can enter the flow channels on both sides evenly. Simultaneously, the baffles distributed along both sides of the extension line of the first central axis form symmetrical baffle channels based on the symmetrical flow guide shells. This symmetrical flow channel ensures that condensate experiences the same resistance and guidance regardless of which side of the receiving shell it enters from. This prevents areas from flowing too fast or too slow due to asymmetry, guaranteeing a stable S-shaped flow to reduce velocity. Furthermore, the symmetrical layout enhances the overall structural stability. Even if the equipment shakes, the symmetrically distributed guide shells and baffles balance the impact of the condensate on the receiving shell, further ensuring reliable operation of the water receiving function.

[0009] In one embodiment, the receiving shell further has a second central axis, the extensions of the first central axis and the second central axis being perpendicular to each other. At least two of the baffles are distributed on both sides of the extension of the second central axis on the two guide shells. By utilizing the second central axis, which is perpendicular to the extension of the first central axis, another precise reference is provided for the distribution of the baffles. The fact that at least two baffles are evenly distributed on both sides of the extension of the second central axis on the two guide shells further improves the uniformity and stability of condensate treatment within the water receiving space. Since the second central axis is perpendicular to the first central axis, the evenly distributed baffles on both sides can cooperate with the symmetrically distributed guide shells to form a regular grid of flow channels within the water receiving space. The evenly spaced design along the direction of the second central axis avoids problems such as some flow channels being too wide and the condensate flow rate being too fast, or being too narrow and causing blockages due to uneven spacing of the baffles.

[0010] In one embodiment, the maximum height of the baffle relative to the receiving base is less than the minimum height of the side shell relative to the receiving base. This height difference design is crucial for the storage and flow control of condensate in the receiving base. From an overflow prevention perspective, the side shell, as the edge protection structure of the receiving base, forms an effective protective barrier due to its greater height. The lower height of the baffle prevents it from obstructing the normal flow of condensate within the receiving space, and also prevents condensate from overflowing the receiving base after passing over the baffle due to swaying or impact. Even if condensate briefly overflows the baffle due to flow velocity fluctuations, it will be intercepted by the higher side shell, ensuring that the condensate remains within the receiving space. Furthermore, the baffle's lower height decelerates and guides the condensate, minimizing the use of vertical storage space in the receiving space while allowing the side shell to increase the total water storage capacity of the receiving base, preventing frequent drainage due to insufficient storage space and further enhancing the practicality and reliability of the entire structure.

[0011] The second aspect of this application discloses a beverage making machine, which includes: the above-mentioned water receiving structure; guide ribs disposed on the water receiving structure; mounting fittings disposed on the water receiving structure; a material bucket assembly, wherein the water receiving structure is detachably mounted to the material bucket assembly via the mounting fittings; and a beverage making machine body, wherein the material bucket assembly is detachably mounted to the beverage making machine body.

[0012] The second aspect disclosed above discloses a beverage making machine with a water receiving structure, combined with guide ribs, mounting fittings, a material tank assembly, and the main body of the beverage making machine, constructing a complete operating system that is functionally coordinated and easy to assemble and disassemble, ensuring the reliability of water receiving and the practicality of the equipment during the beverage making process. The water receiving structure, as a core component, can efficiently collect condensate generated during beverage making. Its own turbulence and flow guidance design prevents condensate overflow or excessive flow rate, providing a basic guarantee for moisture protection and damage prevention of the internal environment of the equipment. The guide ribs and mounting fittings are set on the water receiving structure, working together to achieve a detachable connection between the water receiving structure and the material tank assembly. The guide ribs reduce friction during the installation of the water receiving structure, ensuring smooth connection between the water receiving structure and the main body of the beverage making machine; the mounting fittings further enhance the connection stability, ensuring that the water receiving structure does not loosen during equipment operation and movement, while also facilitating quick disassembly of the water receiving structure for cleaning or replacement during later maintenance. The material tank assembly serves as a connecting bridge between the water receiving structure and the main body of the beverage making machine. It integrates the water receiving structure into the overall equipment, enabling the functions of condensate collection, beverage raw material storage, and processing to be linked. Ultimately, through the orderly cooperation of various components, the operational stability, ease of maintenance, and safety of use of the beverage making machine are improved.

[0013] In one embodiment, multiple guide ribs are disposed on the two flow guide shells and evenly distributed on the outer walls of the two flow guide shells, extending along the length of the flow guide shells. The core function of these multiple guide ribs, evenly distributed on the outer walls of the two flow guide shells and extending along the length of the flow guide shells, is to significantly reduce the frictional resistance when the water receiving structure is installed onto the beverage making machine body, thus improving installation convenience. Because the guide ribs are evenly distributed on the outer side of the flow guide shells, they provide a stable guiding trajectory for the water receiving structure installed onto the beverage making machine body, ensuring that the water receiving structure is smoothly advanced in a preset direction. Combined with the evenly distributed design, this ensures that the force on each guide rib is balanced, further reducing the problem of excessive local friction. This structure not only ensures the smoothness of the water receiving structure installation but also strengthens the rigidity of the water receiving structure itself through the connection between the guide ribs and the flow guide shells, preventing deformation of the flow guide shells during installation, thus balancing installation convenience and structural stability.

[0014] In one embodiment, the material tank assembly includes a material tank body and mounting components. The material tank body is detachably mounted to the beverage making machine body. Multiple mounting components are disposed on the material tank body and evenly distributed on both sides of the material tank body. Mounting fittings are disposed on the two flow guide shells. Each mounting fitting has multiple assembly spaces, evenly distributed on both sides of the mounting fitting. The mounting fittings abut against the multiple mounting components, and each mounting component corresponds one-to-one with each assembly space. By fixing the material tank body to the beverage making machine body as the assembly base, and with multiple mounting components evenly distributed on both sides of the material tank body corresponding to the structure of the mounting fittings, and the mounting fittings disposed on the two flow guide shells, the multiple evenly distributed assembly spaces on both sides achieve a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple mounting components. This symmetrical and precise correspondence ensures balanced force distribution during assembly, preventing tilting or loosening of the water receiving structure due to local assembly deviations. During assembly, the mounting components abut against the fittings, and the fittings embed into their corresponding assembly spaces. This physical fit restricts the displacement of the water-receiving structure, preventing it from shifting due to vibration during equipment operation. Furthermore, the one-to-one fit simplifies the assembly process; operators no longer need to repeatedly adjust the position, simply aligning the assembly space with the fittings according to the corresponding relationship. Combined with the previously mentioned guide ribs that reduce friction, this further improves assembly efficiency. In addition, the evenly distributed design on both sides ensures more uniform stress distribution on the water-receiving structure, preventing localized stress concentration that could damage fittings or mounting components, thus extending the service life of the parts.

[0015] In one embodiment, the receiving base shell, the flow guiding shell, the side shell, the spoiler, the guide rib, and the mounting fittings are integrally molded. By adopting an integral molding design for the receiving base shell, the flow guiding shell, the side shell, the spoiler, the guide rib, and the mounting fittings, the connection gaps and assembly tolerances between the components are eliminated. This avoids problems such as flow guide offset and spoiler failure caused by loose component splicing. It also ensures that the vertical relationship between the spoiler and the flow guiding shell, and the distribution of the guide ribs are precisely maintained, ensuring the stable performance of the condensate deceleration and guiding functions. At the same time, this design greatly simplifies the production and assembly process, eliminating the need for separate processing and assembly of each component, reducing production steps and costs, and avoiding the risk of component misalignment during assembly. When used with the material tank assembly, the integrally molded mounting fittings and guide ribs maintain higher positional accuracy, allowing for quick and accurate alignment of the assembly space and components, further improving assembly efficiency. In addition, integral molding also enhances the overall rigidity and sealing of the water receiving structure, effectively preventing condensate leakage and extending the service life of the components.

[0034] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0035] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0036] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the water receiving structure and beverage making machine of this utility model.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment discloses a water receiving structure, including: a receiving bottom shell 1; a flow guiding shell 2, which is disposed on the receiving bottom shell 1; a side shell 3, which is disposed on the receiving bottom shell 1 and connected to the flow guiding shell 2, the receiving bottom shell 1, the flow guiding shell 2 and the side shell 3 cooperate to form a water receiving space 101; and a baffle plate 4, which is disposed on the receiving bottom shell 1 and located in the water receiving space 101, the baffle plate 4 dividing the water receiving space 101 into at least two channels, the at least two channels being connected to form a baffle flow channel.

[0039] This application discloses a water-receiving structure for use in beverage making machines to collect condensate generated during operation. Compared to most traditional beverage making machine water-receiving structures on the market that lack flow guidance design, this structure has significant advantages. Traditional water-receiving structures, lacking flow guidance design, allow condensate to quickly impact the container wall during transport or operation of the beverage making machine due to the lack of flow resistance, resulting in splashing. This can not only contaminate the internal circuitry, components, and surrounding work surface, affecting the equipment's lifespan and hygiene safety, but also cause inconvenience for users during cleaning and reduce the user experience. This water-receiving structure perfectly solves this problem through the synergistic effect of multiple components: the base shell 1, as the basic load-bearing component, provides stable support for the entire water-receiving structure, and at the same time, it precisely cooperates with the flow guide shell 2 and the side shell 3 to jointly enclose and form a well-sealed water-receiving space 101, which can effectively prevent condensate from leaking out from structural gaps; the flow guide shell 2 is installed on the base shell 1 and can guide the condensate generated by the beverage making machine, ensuring that the condensate flows into the water-receiving space 101 accurately and steadily, preventing the water from overflowing due to deviation of the falling trajectory; the side shell 3 is not only firmly connected to the base shell 1 and the flow guide shell 2, enhancing the impact resistance of the overall structure, but also further prevents the water in the water-receiving space 101 from spreading to both sides. The baffle plate 4, located within the water receiving space 101 and fixed to the receiving base 1, divides the water receiving space 101 into at least two connected channels, forming a turbulent flow channel with resistance. When the condensate flows back and forth in the water receiving space 101 as the equipment shakes or the water receiving box is pulled out, the baffle plate 4 will effectively block the water flow, forcing the water flow to flow slowly in an S-shape along the channel, greatly reducing the water flow speed and completely avoiding splashing.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the number of baffles 4 is at least two, and at least two baffles 4 are spaced apart on the receiving bottom shell 1 and located in the water receiving space 101. The at least two baffles 4 divide the water receiving space 101 into multiple channels, and the multiple channels are connected in sequence to form a baffle flow channel. By arranging at least two baffles 4 spaced apart on the receiving bottom shell 1, a baffle flow channel with specific resistance characteristics is constructed, providing key support for the effective control of the condensate flow velocity. These baffles 4 do not exist in isolation, but are arranged in an orderly manner in the water receiving space 101 according to a preset spacing, cleverly dividing the originally continuous water receiving space 101 into multiple interconnected channels, and the multiple channels are connected in sequence to form a complete baffle flow channel. When condensate enters the water receiving space 101, it cannot flow quickly in a straight line due to the physical obstruction of the baffles 4, and can only change its flow direction in the channel between adjacent baffles 4. As the equipment may sway during operation, the condensate will continuously contact and collide with the baffle plate 4 as it moves back and forth, encountering flow resistance each time it passes through a section of the channel. This resistance continuously weakens the condensate's kinetic energy, forcing it to follow an S-shaped, meandering flow trajectory, repeatedly changing direction within the turbulent flow channel composed of multiple sections. Through this process, the flow velocity of the condensate is significantly reduced, effectively preventing problems such as splashing caused by excessive flow velocity.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the number of flow guide shells 2 is two, the two flow guide shells 2 are disposed on the receiving base shell 1 and located on both sides of the receiving base shell 1, and at least two baffles 4 are connected to the two flow guide shells 2, with the baffles 4 perpendicular to the flow guide shells 2. By disposing the two flow guide shells 2 on both sides of the receiving base shell 1 respectively, forming a vertical connection with at least two baffles 4, the flow guiding and deceleration effect of condensate in the water receiving space 101 is further optimized. The flow guide shells 2 on both sides not only provide stable installation support for the baffles 4, but their vertical connection also allows the baffles 4 to more accurately divide the channels in the water receiving space 101. Since the flow guide shells 2 are fixed on both sides of the receiving base shell 1, the baffles 4 perpendicular to them can maintain a uniform spacing, ensuring that the dimensions of multiple channels are consistent, and avoiding the problem of uneven flow channels and resistance imbalance caused by the tilting or displacement of the baffles 4. Meanwhile, the guide shells 2 on both sides can initially guide the condensate entering the water receiving space 101, directing the condensate into the channels separated by the baffles 4, preventing the condensate from spreading towards the edge of the receiving shell 1 and escaping the baffle channel. When the condensate flows back and forth under the shaking of the equipment, the vertically connected baffles 4 and the guide shells 2 together form a stable resistance structure. The baffles 4 block the straight flow of condensate, making the condensate flow more stably along the S-shaped channel, further weakening the flow kinetic energy, ensuring the flow velocity reduction effect, and improving the stability and reliability of the entire water receiving structure.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the receiving shell 1 has a first central axis, the number of flow guide shells 2 is two, the two flow guide shells 2 are disposed on the receiving shell 1 and are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the receiving shell 1 about the extension line of the first central axis, and at least two baffles 4 are distributed on both sides of the two flow guide shells 2 along the extension line of the first central axis. By utilizing the first central axis, a precise reference is provided for the layout of the flow guide shells 2 and the baffles 4. The two flow guide shells 2 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the receiving shell 1 about the extension line of the first central axis, and at least two baffles 4 are distributed on both sides of the two flow guide shells 2 along the extension line. This symmetrical structure greatly optimizes the treatment effect of condensate in the water receiving space 101. The symmetrically distributed flow guide shells 2 can keep the force and flow guiding capacity on both sides of the receiving shell 1 balanced, avoiding the problem of condensate accumulating on one side due to unilateral structural imbalance or uneven flow, and ensuring that condensate can enter the flow channels on both sides evenly. Meanwhile, the baffles 4 distributed on both sides of the extended first central axis form symmetrical baffle channels based on the symmetrical guide shells 2. This symmetrical channel ensures that the condensate, regardless of which side of the receiving base shell 1 it enters from, experiences the same resistance and guiding effect during flow, preventing excessively fast or slow flow velocities in some areas due to asymmetrical channels, and ensuring that the condensate flows stably in an S-shape to reduce velocity. Furthermore, the symmetrical layout enhances the stability of the entire structure. Even if the equipment shakes, the symmetrically distributed guide shells 2 and baffles 4 can balance the impact of the condensate on the receiving base shell 1, further ensuring the reliable operation of the water receiving function.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the receiving shell 1 also has a second central axis, the extension lines of the first central axis and the extension lines of the second central axis are perpendicular to each other, and at least two baffles 4 are distributed on both sides of the extension line of the second central axis on the two guide shells 2. By utilizing the second central axis, which is perpendicular to the extension line of the first central axis, another precise reference is provided for the distribution of the baffles 4. At least two baffles 4 are equally spaced on both sides of the extension line of the second central axis on the two guide shells 2, which further improves the uniformity and stability of condensate treatment in the water receiving space 101. Since the second central axis is perpendicular to the first central axis, the equally spaced distribution of the baffles 4 on both sides can cooperate with the symmetrically distributed guide shells 2 to form a regular flow channel grid in the water receiving space 101. The equally spaced design along the direction of the second central axis avoids the problem of some flow channels being too wide and the condensate flow rate being too fast, or too narrow and causing blockage due to uneven spacing of the baffles 4.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the maximum height of the baffle 4 relative to the receiving bottom shell 1 is less than the minimum height of the side shell 3 relative to the receiving bottom shell 1. This height difference design, utilizing the maximum height of the baffle 4 relative to the receiving bottom shell 1 being less than the minimum height of the side shell 3 relative to the receiving bottom shell 1, is crucial for the storage and flow control of condensate in the receiving bottom shell 1. From the perspective of preventing overflow, the side shell 3, as the edge protection structure of the receiving bottom shell 1, forms an effective protective barrier due to its higher height. The baffle 4, being lower, avoids obstructing the normal flow of condensate within the water receiving space 101 due to its excessive height. It also prevents condensate from overflowing directly from the receiving bottom shell 1 after passing over the baffle 4 under shaking and impact. Even if condensate briefly overflows the baffle 4 due to flow velocity fluctuations, it will still be intercepted by the higher side shell 3, ensuring that the condensate remains within the water receiving space 101. Moreover, the spoiler 4 slows down and guides the condensate at a low height, which not only does not occupy too much vertical storage space of the water receiving space 101, but also allows the side shell 3 to increase the total water storage capacity of the bottom shell 1 by a higher height, avoiding frequent drainage due to insufficient water storage space, and further improving the practicality and reliability of the entire structure.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this embodiment discloses a beverage making machine, including: the above-mentioned water receiving structure; guide ribs 5, the guide ribs 5 are disposed on the water receiving structure; mounting fittings 6, the mounting fittings 6 are disposed on the water receiving structure; material bucket assembly 7, the water receiving structure can be detached from the material bucket assembly 7 through the mounting fittings 6; beverage making machine body, the material bucket assembly 7 can be detached from the beverage making machine body.

[0047] The second aspect of this application discloses a beverage making machine with a water receiving structure, which, together with guide ribs 5, mounting fittings 6, a material tank assembly 7, and the main body of the beverage making machine, constructs a complete operating system that is functionally coordinated and easy to assemble and disassemble, ensuring the reliability of water receiving and the practicality of the equipment during the beverage making process. The water receiving structure, as a core component, can efficiently collect condensate generated during beverage making. Its own turbulence and flow guiding design prevents condensate overflow or excessive flow rate, providing a basic guarantee for moisture protection and damage prevention of the internal environment of the equipment. Guide ribs 5 and mounting fittings 6 are set on the water receiving structure, working together to achieve a detachable connection between the water receiving structure and the material tank assembly 7. Guide ribs 5 reduce friction during installation of the water receiving structure, ensuring smooth connection between the water receiving structure and the main body of the beverage making machine; mounting fittings 6 further enhance connection stability, ensuring that the water receiving structure does not loosen during equipment operation and movement, while also facilitating quick disassembly of the water receiving structure for cleaning or replacement during later maintenance. The material tank assembly 7 serves as a connecting bridge between the water receiving structure and the main body of the beverage manufacturing machine. It integrates the water receiving structure into the overall equipment, enabling the functions of condensate collection, beverage raw material storage, and processing to be linked. Ultimately, through the orderly cooperation of various components, the operational stability, maintenance convenience, and safety of the beverage manufacturing machine are improved.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the number of guide ribs 5 is multiple, and the multiple guide ribs 5 are arranged on the two flow guide shells 2 and evenly distributed on the outer side walls of the two flow guide shells 2, with the guide ribs 5 extending along the length direction of the flow guide shells 2. The core function of the multiple guide ribs 5 evenly distributed on the outer side walls of the two flow guide shells 2 and extending along the length direction of the flow guide shells 2 is to significantly reduce the frictional resistance when the water receiving structure is installed onto the beverage making machine body, improving installation convenience. Since the guide ribs 5 are evenly distributed on the outer side of the flow guide shells 2, they can provide a stable guiding trajectory for the installation of the water receiving structure onto the beverage making machine body, ensuring that the water receiving structure is smoothly advanced along the preset direction. Combined with the evenly distributed design, the force on each guide rib 5 is balanced, further reducing the problem of excessive local friction. This structure not only ensures the smoothness of the water receiving structure installation, but also strengthens the rigidity of the water receiving structure itself through the connection between the guide ribs 5 and the flow guide shells 2, avoiding deformation of the flow guide shells 2 during installation, thus balancing installation convenience and structural stability.

[0049] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines that: the material barrel assembly 7 includes a material barrel body 71 and mounting parts 72. The material barrel body 71 is detachably mounted on the beverage making machine body. There are multiple mounting parts 72, which are disposed on the material barrel body 71 and evenly distributed on both sides of the material barrel body 71. The mounting fitting 6 is disposed on two flow guide shells 2. The mounting fitting 6 is provided with assembly spaces 601. There are multiple assembly spaces 601, which are evenly distributed on both sides of the mounting fitting 6. The mounting fitting 6 abuts against the multiple mounting parts 72, and the multiple mounting parts 72 correspond one-to-one with the multiple assembly spaces 601. The material tank body 71 is fixed to the beverage manufacturing machine body as the assembly base. Multiple fittings 72 are evenly distributed on both sides of the material tank body 71, corresponding to the structure of the mounting fitting 6. The mounting fitting 6 is located on two flow guide shells 2, and multiple assembly spaces 601 evenly distributed on both sides of the 6 correspond one-to-one with the multiple fittings 72. This symmetrical and precise correspondence ensures that the force on each part is balanced during assembly, avoiding tilting or loosening of the water receiving structure due to local assembly deviations. During assembly, the mounting fitting 6 abuts against the fittings 72, and the fittings 72 are embedded in the corresponding assembly spaces 601. This not only restricts the displacement of the water receiving structure through physical fitting, preventing the water receiving structure from shifting due to vibration during equipment operation, but also simplifies the assembly process through the one-to-one correspondence. Operators do not need to repeatedly adjust the position; they only need to align the assembly space 601 with the fitting 72 according to the correspondence to complete the positioning. Combined with the previous guide rib 5's function of reducing friction, this further improves assembly efficiency. In addition, the evenly distributed design on both sides makes the water receiving structure more uniformly stressed, avoiding local stress concentration that could damage the fittings 72 or the installation mating parts 6, and extending the service life of the components.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines that the receiving base shell 1, the flow guiding shell 2, the side shell 3, the baffle 4, the guide rib 5, and the mounting fitting 6 are integrally formed. By adopting an integral forming design for the receiving base shell 1, the flow guiding shell 2, the side shell 3, the baffle 4, the guide rib 5, and the mounting fitting 6, the connection gaps and assembly tolerances between the components are eliminated, avoiding problems such as flow guide offset and baffle failure caused by loose component splicing. This ensures that the vertical relationship between the baffle 4 and the flow guiding shell 2, and the distribution of the guide rib 5 are accurately maintained, ensuring the stable performance of the condensate deceleration and guiding functions. At the same time, this design greatly simplifies the production and assembly process, eliminating the need for separate processing and assembly of each component, reducing production steps and costs, and avoiding the risk of component misalignment during assembly. When used with the material tank assembly 7, the integrally formed mounting fitting 6 and the guide rib 5 can maintain higher positional accuracy, allowing the assembly space 601 and the assembly part 72 to quickly and accurately align, further improving assembly efficiency. In addition, the one-piece molding enhances the overall rigidity and sealing of the water-receiving structure, effectively preventing condensate leakage and extending the service life of the components.
