[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a front structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the beverage dispensing device of the present application; Figure 2 is a bottom view of an embodiment of the beverage dispensing device of the present application.

[0033] One embodiment of the present application provides a beverage dispensing device 10. The beverage dispensing device 10 includes a beverage dispensing port 11 and a movable assembly 12. The beverage dispensing port 11 can be used to dispense a beverage into a container. The beverage includes a first category of beverage ingredients and / or a second category of beverage ingredients. The movable assembly 12 is connected to the beverage dispensing port 11 and is configured to move the beverage dispensing port 11 toward or away from the container.

[0034] As can be seen from the above structure, when the user is taking the first and / or second category beverage ingredients, the movable assembly 12 moves the beverage outlet 11 closer to the container, thereby shortening the distance between the beverage outlet 11 and the container. Consequently, the first and / or second category beverage ingredients are prevented from splashing or spilling during the process of being put into the container. Furthermore, when the user finishes taking the first and / or second category beverage ingredients, the movable assembly 12 moves the beverage outlet 11 away from the container, thereby increasing the distance between the beverage outlet 11 and the container. This prevents the user's hand from touching the beverage outlet 11 during the process of taking out the container. This not only prevents the user from having their hand touch the beverage outlet 11, but also prevents bacteria from remaining at the beverage outlet 11 after the hand touches the beverage outlet 11. This prevents bacteria from entering the container along with the first or second category beverage ingredients during the next process of the user taking out the first or second category beverage ingredients, thereby affecting the user's experience. Therefore, the moving component 12 can drive the beverage outlet 11 closer to or away from the container, which can not only prevent the first category of beverage ingredients and / or the second category of beverage ingredients from splashing or overflowing and affecting the user experience when the user takes the first category of beverage ingredients and / or the second category of beverage ingredients; it can also prevent the user's hand from touching the beverage outlet 11 and affecting the user experience after the user finishes taking the first category of beverage ingredients and / or the second category of beverage ingredients.

[0035] It should be noted that the first category of beverage ingredients includes ingredients with fixed shapes, elastic ingredients, and ingredients with poor fluidity, such as ice cubes, crushed ice, red beans, mung beans, peanuts, pearls in pearl milk tea, coconut flakes, taro balls, milk jelly, jelly, tortoise jelly, fruit puree, taro puree, ice cream, puffed foods, baked goods, etc.; the second category of beverage ingredients includes ingredients with high fluidity, such as water, juice, milk, coffee, cola, soy milk, etc., which are not restricted here.

[0036] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 4. Figure 3 is a front structural diagram of the beverage dispensing device of an embodiment of the present application with the beverage dispensing port extended; Figure 4 is a partial structural diagram of the beverage dispensing device of an embodiment of the present application with the beverage dispensing port extended.

[0037] Specifically, the beverage outlet 11 has a motion track (not shown) extending along a first direction X. When a container is placed below the beverage outlet 11, the motion track has a first end 111 proximal to the container and a second end 112 distal to the container in the first direction X. When a user dispenses first-category and / or second-category beverage ingredients, the beverage outlet 11 can move within the motion track along the first direction X to the first end 111 proximal to the container. At this point, the distance between the container and the beverage outlet 11 increases, thereby preventing splashing or spillage of the first-category and / or second-category beverage ingredients when dispensed from the beverage outlet 11 into the container. When the user finishes dispensing the first-category and / or second-category beverage ingredients, the beverage outlet 11 can move within the motion track along the first direction X to the second end 112 distal to the container. At this point, the distance between the container and the beverage outlet 11 decreases, preventing the user's hand from touching the beverage outlet 11 while dispensing the first-category beverage ingredients, thereby improving the user experience.

[0038] It should be noted that during use, the user can, based on their needs, dispense only the first category of beverage ingredients from the beverage dispensing port 11, or dispense only the second category of beverage ingredients from the beverage dispensing port 11, or dispense both the first category of beverage ingredients and the second category of beverage ingredients from the beverage dispensing port 11 simultaneously, without limitation. Furthermore, the beverage dispensing device 10 can be a water dispenser, a beverage machine, or a refrigeration device such as a refrigerator, without limitation.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present application, the movable assembly 12 includes a first sleeve group 121. The first sleeve group 121 comprises at least two first sleeves 1211 arranged in a hierarchical manner. The outermost first sleeve 1211 or the innermost first sleeve 1211 is fixedly mounted at the second end 112. The remaining first sleeves 1211 are relatively movable along a first direction X to achieve telescopic extension. The first sleeve 1211 fixedly mounted at the second end 112 is the first fixed sleeve, and the first sleeve 1211 in the first sleeve group 121, further away from the first fixed sleeve, is the first movable sleeve. The beverage outlet 11 is located on the first movable sleeve. Specifically, when the outermost first sleeve 1211 is fixedly disposed at the second end 112, the outermost first sleeve 1211 is the first fixed sleeve, that is, the first sleeve 1211 farthest from the container is the first fixed sleeve. The remaining first sleeves 1211 are relatively movable along the first direction X to achieve extension and contraction. The innermost first sleeve 1211 is the first movable sleeve, that is, the first sleeve 1211 closest to the container is the first movable sleeve. Therefore, when a user is taking the first and / or second category beverage ingredients, the first movable sleeve extends toward the first end 111 close to the container. In this case, splashing or spilling can be avoided when the user is taking the first and / or second category beverage ingredients. When the user finishes taking the first and / or second category beverage ingredients, the first movable sleeve retracts from the first end 111 near the container toward the second end 112 away from the container. This allows the user to avoid touching the beverage outlet 11 with their hands after taking the first and / or second category beverage ingredients, which would otherwise affect the user experience. The first fixed sleeve remains fixed to the second end 112, so that during the extension and retraction process, the first sleeve assembly 121 remains relatively fixed to the second end 112 away from the container, making the entire extension and retraction process more stable.

[0040] When the innermost first sleeve 1211 is fixedly disposed at the second end 112, the innermost first sleeve 1211 is a first fixed sleeve, and the remaining first sleeves 1211 are relatively movable along the first direction X to achieve extension and retraction, that is, the outermost first sleeve 1211 is a first movable sleeve. Therefore, when a user takes the first category of beverage ingredients and / or the second category of beverage ingredients, the first movable sleeve extends toward the first end 111 close to the container. At this time, the user can avoid splashing or overflowing when taking the first category of beverage ingredients and / or the second category of beverage ingredients. When the user finishes taking the first category of beverage ingredients and / or the second category of beverage ingredients, the first movable sleeve retracts from the first end 111 close to the container toward the second end away from the container. At this time, after the user finishes taking the first category of beverage ingredients and / or the second category of beverage ingredients, the user can avoid touching the beverage outlet 11 with his hands, which would affect the user experience. The first sleeve 1211 located at the innermost side, i.e., the first fixed sleeve, is always fixed to the second end 112. Therefore, during the extension and retraction process of the first sleeve 1211, the first sleeve group 121 can remain relatively fixed to the second end 112 away from the container, thereby making the entire extension and retraction process more stable.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present application, a delivery channel (not shown) is formed within the first sleeve assembly 121. The beverage outlet 11 includes a first-category beverage ingredient outlet 1212, with the first-category beverage ingredient outlet 1212 formed at the bottom of the movable sleeve. Specifically, because the first sleeve assembly 121 is hollow, a delivery channel is formed. When a user dispenses the first-category beverage ingredients, the first-category beverage ingredients move from the delivery channel toward the first-category beverage ingredient outlet 1212 and are dispensed from the first-category beverage ingredient outlet 1212. Therefore, this structural arrangement not only facilitates the user's access to the first-category beverage ingredients and / or the second-category beverage ingredients by allowing the first sleeve assembly 121 to extend and retract, thereby preventing the first-category beverage ingredients and / or the second-category beverage ingredients from splashing or spilling, which could affect the user experience, but also, the delivery channel formed by the hollow interior of the first sleeve assembly 121 facilitates the dispensing of the first-category beverage ingredients during the user's dispensing process, thereby making the dispensing process smoother.

[0042] Furthermore, when the first sleeve group 121 is in an extended state, the inner diameter of the delivery channel gradually increases or decreases in the direction approaching the beverage outlet 11. Specifically, when the innermost first sleeve 1211 is the first fixed sleeve, and the remaining first sleeves 1211 extend along the first direction X toward the end closest to the container, the inner diameter of the delivery channel gradually increases in the direction approaching the beverage outlet 11. This structure can prevent the first category of beverage ingredients from being stuck. Conversely, when the outermost first sleeve 1211 is the first fixed sleeve, and the remaining first sleeves 1211 extend along the first direction X toward the end closest to the container, the inner diameter of the delivery channel gradually decreases in the direction approaching the beverage outlet 11. This configuration can converge the delivery path of the first category of beverage ingredients.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present application, the movable assembly 12 further includes a second sleeve group 122. The second sleeve group 122 is sleeved on the outside of the first sleeve group 121. The second sleeve group 122 includes at least two second sleeves 1221 arranged in a hierarchical manner. The outermost second sleeve 1221 or the innermost second sleeve 1221 is fixedly disposed at the second end 112, and the remaining second sleeves 1221 are relatively movable along the first direction X. The second sleeve 1221 fixedly disposed at the second end 112 is the second fixed sleeve. The second sleeve 1221 in the second sleeve group 122 that is farthest from the second fixed sleeve is the second movable sleeve. The second movable sleeve is relatively fixed to the first movable sleeve. Specifically, when the outermost second sleeve 1221 is fixedly disposed at the second end 112 , that is, the outermost second sleeve 1221 is the second fixed sleeve, the second sleeve 1221 farthest from the second fixed sleeve is the second movable sleeve, and the second movable sleeve is the innermost second sleeve 1221 . When a user is dispensing the first and / or second category beverage ingredients, since the first movable sleeve and the second movable sleeve are relatively fixed, as the first movable sleeve extends toward the first end 111, the first movable sleeve drives the second movable sleeve to extend toward the first end 111. The other second sleeve 1221 located between the second fixed sleeve and the second movable sleeve also extends toward the first end 111 under the action of the second movable sleeve. When the second sleeve group 122 and the first sleeve group 121 both extend toward the first end 111, the distance between the first and second sleeve groups 121 and 122 and the container is reduced, thereby reducing the possibility of splashing or spilling the first and / or second category beverage ingredients when dispensing, providing a better user experience. Furthermore, since the outermost second sleeve 1221 is fixedly disposed at the second end 112, i.e., the second fixed sleeve is fixedly disposed at the second end 112, the second sleeve group 122 is more stable during the extension and retraction process.

[0044] When the innermost second sleeve 1221 is fixedly disposed at the second end 112 , that is, the innermost second sleeve 1221 is the second fixed sleeve, the second sleeve 1221 farthest from the second fixed sleeve is the second movable sleeve, and the second movable sleeve is the outermost second sleeve 1221 . When a user is dispensing the first and / or second category beverage ingredients, since the first movable sleeve and the second movable sleeve are relatively fixed, as the first movable sleeve extends toward the first end 111, the first movable sleeve drives the second movable sleeve to extend toward the first end 111. Under the action of the second movable sleeve, the second sleeve 1221 located between the second fixed sleeve and the second movable sleeve extends toward the first end 111. When the second sleeve group 122 and the first sleeve group 121 both extend toward the first end 111, the distance between the first and second sleeve groups 121 and 122 and the container is reduced, thereby reducing the possibility of splashing or spilling the first and / or second category beverage ingredients when dispensing, providing a better user experience. Furthermore, since the innermost second sleeve 1221 is fixedly disposed at the second end 112, i.e., the second fixed sleeve is fixedly disposed at the second end 112, the second sleeve group 122 is more stable during the extension and retraction process.

[0045] It should be noted that the relative fixation of the first fixed sleeve and the second fixed sleeve means that the relative positional relationship between the first fixed sleeve and the second fixed sleeve remains unchanged. The relative fixation of the first movable sleeve and the second movable sleeve means that the relative positional relationship between the first movable sleeve and the second movable sleeve remains unchanged during their synchronous movement.

[0046] In another embodiment of the present application, the first sleeve 1211 and the second sleeve 1221 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The beverage dispensing device also includes a connecting plate (not shown in the figure). The connecting plate, the first sleeve 1211 and the second sleeve 1221 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The connecting plate connects the corresponding first sleeve 1211 and the second sleeve 1221, or the connecting plate is integrally formed with the corresponding first sleeve 1211 and the second sleeve 1221. By arranging the first sleeve 1211 and the second sleeve 1221 in a one-to-one correspondence and connecting them through the connecting plate, the first sleeve 1211 and the second sleeve 1221 can be synchronously extended and retracted as an integral structure, thereby improving the telescopic stability of the first sleeve group 121 and the second sleeve group 122. When the first sleeve 1211, the connecting plate and the second sleeve 1221 are integrally formed, the production and assembly efficiency can be improved.

[0047] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present application, to facilitate the dispensing of the second-category beverage ingredients, the beverage dispensing port 11 further includes a second-category beverage ingredient dispensing port 1213. The beverage dispensing device 10 further includes an output tube 13. The output tube 13 is disposed outside the first sleeve assembly 121. The output end of the output tube 13 forms the second-category beverage ingredient dispensing port 1213, and the output end of the output tube 13 is relatively fixed to the first movable sleeve or the second movable sleeve. Specifically, when a user dispenses the second-category beverage ingredients, the second-category beverage ingredients flow within the output tube 13. When the second-category beverage ingredients flow to the output end of the output tube 13, the second-category beverage ingredients are dispensed from the second-category beverage ingredient dispensing port 1213. When the output end is relatively fixed to the first movable sleeve, when the user dispenses the second-category beverage ingredients, the first movable sleeve extends from the second end 112 to the first end 111, allowing the output end to be closer to the container. This reduces splashing or spillage of the second-category beverage ingredients when they flow into the container, thereby improving the user experience. When the output end is relatively fixed to the second movable sleeve, when the user takes the second type of beverage ingredients, the second movable sleeve extends from the second end 112 to the first end 111, so that the output end can be close to the container to improve the splashing or overflow of the second type of beverage ingredients when they flow into the container, thereby improving the user's operating experience.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present application, the output tube 13 is arranged on the inside or outside of the first sleeve group 121. Specifically, the output tube 13 can be arranged between the first sleeve group 121 and the second sleeve group 122. In this case, the second sleeve group 122 can play a certain shielding and protective role for the first sleeve group 121 and the output tube 13 and other structural parts located between the first sleeve group 121 and the second sleeve group 122. Of course, the output tube 13 can also be arranged on the inside of the first sleeve group 121. In this case, the first sleeve group 121 can still achieve the shielding and protective effect on the output tube 13. Alternatively, the output tube 13 can also be arranged on the outside of the second sleeve group 122. In this case, the user can observe the specific situation of the output of the second type of beverage ingredients at any time, which provides a better user experience.

[0049] Alternatively, the first sleeve group 121 is provided with an embedding groove, and the output tube 13 is embedded in the embedding groove. In this case, the first sleeve group 121 can not only shield and protect the output tube 13, but also play a certain limiting role on the output tube 13 when the output tube 13 is embedded in the embedding groove, so that the structure of the output tube 13 can be more stable during the entire use process.

[0050] Please continue to refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 , FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the back structure of an embodiment of the beverage dispensing device of the present application.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present application, the beverage dispensing device 10 further includes a supporting frame 14. The supporting frame 14 is used to support the first sleeve group 121 and the second sleeve group 122. The movable assembly 12 further includes a driving mechanism 15. The driving mechanism 15 is used to drive the first sleeve group 121 to move relative to each other along the first direction X. The driving mechanism 15 includes a guide rail 151, a slider 152, and a power member 153. The guide rail 151 is provided on the supporting frame 14 and extends along the first direction X. The slider 152 is movably provided on the guide rail 151 along the first direction X and is relatively fixed to the second movable sleeve. The power member 153 is used to drive the slider 152 to move. Since the first fixed sleeve and the second fixed sleeve are both fixed to the supporting frame 14, the provision of the supporting frame 14 can provide good support for the first sleeve group 121 and the second sleeve group 122. The drive mechanism 15 is configured to drive the first sleeve assembly 121 to move relative to the first sleeve assembly 121 in the first direction X, specifically driving the first sleeve assembly 121 to move toward the first end 111 proximate to the container and away from the second end 112 of the container. During the process of the drive mechanism 15 driving the first sleeve assembly 121 to move, the drive mechanism 15 is powered by the power member 153. At this time, the slider 152, driven by the power member 153, moves along the guide rail 151 in the first direction X. Furthermore, the guide rail 151 also serves to limit the slider 152, preventing it from deviating from the guide rail 151 during movement, which could cause abnormal movement of the moving assembly 12 and affect the user experience.

[0052] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present application, the power member 153 also includes a lifting rack 1531, a driving gear 1532 and a motor 1533. Among them, the lifting rack 1531 is arranged along the first direction X and is fixed relative to the slider 152. The driving gear 1532 and the lifting rack 1531 are engaged with each other. The motor 1533 is arranged on the supporting frame 14, and the output end of the motor 1533 is connected to the driving gear 1532. By connecting the output end of the motor 1533 with the driving gear 1532, at this time, the motor 1533 can drive the driving gear 1532 to rotate forward and reverse, and then can drive the lifting rack 1531 to move back and forth along the first direction X. Because the lifting rack 1531 and the slider 152 are relatively fixed, when the motor 1533 drives the driving gear 1532 to rotate forward and reverse to cause the lifting rack 1531 to reciprocate in the first direction X, the slider 152 also moves along with the reciprocating motion of the lifting rack 1531 in the first direction X, thereby enabling the slider 152 to move along the guide rail 151 in the first direction X under the action of the motor 1533. The reciprocating motion of the slider 152 in the first direction X is achieved through the mutual cooperation between the lifting rack 1531, the driving gear 1532, and the motor 1533. This structure is not only more labor-saving, but also relatively simple.

[0053] Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6 , FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the back structure of another embodiment of the beverage dispensing device of the present application.

[0054] In another embodiment of the present application, the beverage dispensing device 10 further includes a supporting frame 14. The supporting frame 14 is configured to support the first sleeve assembly 121 and the second sleeve assembly 122. The movable assembly 12 further includes a guide rail 151, a slider 152, and a damping screw 154. The guide rail 151 is disposed on the supporting frame 14 and extends along a first direction X. The slider 152 is movably disposed on the guide rail 151 along the first direction X and is fixed relative to the second movable sleeve along the slider 152. The damping screw 154 is threadedly connected to the slider 152 and is configured to abut against the guide rail 151 to adjust the interaction force between the slider 152 and the guide rail 151. The abutment force between the damping screw 154 and the slider 152 should be adjusted to balance the weight of the first sleeve assembly 121 and the second sleeve assembly 122. When there is no external force pulling on the second sleeve 1221, the first sleeve assembly 121 and the second sleeve assembly 122 can maintain their current telescopic state, thereby not affecting user experience. When the beverage outlet 11 needs to be extended or retracted, the second sleeve 1221 only needs to be pulled to overcome the abutment force between the damping screw 154 and the guide rail 151, thereby allowing the first sleeve assembly 121 and the second sleeve assembly 122 to be extended or retracted. The abutment force between the damping screw 154 and the guide rail 151 can be adjusted by rotating the damping screw 154, resulting in a simple and convenient structure.

[0055] Specifically, when a user is removing a first beverage ingredient and / or a second beverage ingredient, the user pulls the second sleeve 1221 toward the first end 111. The slider 152 is relatively fixed to the second movable sleeve. Therefore, when the slider 152 moves along the guide rail 151 in the first direction X, the second movable sleeve also moves in the first direction X along with the movement of the slider 152. Correspondingly, the first movable sleeve also moves along with the movement of the second movable sleeve. When the second movable sleeve is adjusted to the user's desired position, the user releases the second movable sleeve, and the damping screw 154 and the slider 152 remain relatively stationary. At this point, the slider 152 stops moving. Since the second movable sleeve is relatively fixed to the slider 152, the second movable sleeve stops moving and remains in the user's desired position. Correspondingly, the first movable sleeve also stops as the second movable sleeve stops.

[0056] The manual drive structure has the advantages of a small number of components and relatively simple operation. The threaded connection between the damping screw 154 and the slider 152 can be adjusted to increase the contact force between the damping screw 154 and the guide rail 151. This prevents the first and second sleeve assemblies 121 and 122 from falling due to their own weight, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the structure.

[0057] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 4. Furthermore, in order to enhance the user's operational experience, in one embodiment of the present application, the movable assembly 12 further includes a handle 123 disposed on the outer sidewall of the innermost second sleeve 1221. By providing the handle 123, the user can more easily adjust the position of the beverage outlet 11. Specifically, when the user needs to adjust the position of the beverage outlet 11, they grasp the handle 123 and apply a certain external force to the handle 123 while adjusting the tightness between the damping screw 154 and the slider 152. This adjusts the position of the second movable sleeve, and thereby adjusts the position of the beverage outlet 11. This allows the beverage outlet 11 to be positioned optimally when the user dispenses the first and / or second category beverage ingredients. This reduces the risk of splashing or spilling of the first and / or second category beverage ingredients, providing a better user experience. Furthermore, the handle 123 not only facilitates the user to adjust the position of the beverage outlet 11 , but also saves effort when adjusting the position of the beverage outlet 11 , thus providing the user with a better overall operating experience.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present application, the beverage dispensing device 10 further includes a carrier 16. The carrier 16 is used to carry a container. The container is used to receive beverages. The beverage dispensing port 11 is located above the carrier 16. When a user is taking the first category of beverage ingredients and / or the second category of beverage ingredients, the user places the container on the carrier 16 and dispenses the first category of beverage ingredients and / or the second category of beverage ingredients through the beverage dispensing port 11. This allows for quick dispensing of the first category of beverage ingredients and / or the second category of beverage ingredients without the user having to hold the container. This makes the entire process of taking the first category of beverage ingredients and / or the second category of beverage ingredients much more labor-saving.

[0059] In some embodiments, a micro switch, a pressure sensor, etc. can be set below the supporting platform 16, and an ultrasonic sensor, an infrared tube, etc. can be set on the side wall of the supporting frame 14 or the beverage output device 10 to detect whether there is a container placed on the supporting platform 16. If no container is detected, the output of the first category of beverage ingredients and / or the second category of beverage ingredients can be stopped, thereby avoiding the problem of spillage of the first category of beverage ingredients and / or the second category of beverage ingredients due to accidental touching or sudden removal of the container.

[0060] Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 7 , FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the second sleeve of an embodiment of the beverage dispensing device of the present application.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present application, to facilitate movement of the second sleeve assembly 122 along the first direction X, a guide groove 141 is defined on the inner wall of the second sleeve 1221. A guide block 142 is provided on the outer wall of the second sleeve 1221 to cooperate with the guide groove 141. The guide block 142 slides within the guide groove 141 to drive the at least two second sleeves 1221 to move relative to each other in the first direction X, thereby achieving telescoping. Specifically, the relative movement of the guide block 142 within the guide groove 141 can drive the at least two second sleeves 1221 to move in the first direction X to their maximum extension or contraction. The setting of the guide block 142 and the guide groove 141, on the one hand, can play a certain limiting role in the movement of multiple at least two second sleeves 1221, so as to avoid the second sleeve 1221 from being displaced in other directions; on the other hand, the guide block 142 slides in the guide groove 141, which can reduce the contact area between the guide block 142 and the guide groove 141, and thus can reduce the friction between the two, so that the entire sliding process is more labor-saving.

[0062] It should be noted that the guide groove 141 extending along the first direction X on the second sleeve 1221 in the present application can be provided on the outer wall surface of the second sleeve 1221, while the guide block 142 is provided on the inner wall surface of the next adjacent second sleeve 1221. In this case, the guide block 142 on the inner wall surface and the guide groove 141 on the outer wall surface of the adjacent second sleeve 1221 cooperate with each other to achieve a limiting effect on the movement of the second sleeve 1221 along the first direction X. This structure can also prevent the guide block 142 from leaking out, thereby ensuring the aesthetics of the structure. Of course, in some other embodiments, a guide groove 141 may be provided on the inner wall surface of the second sleeve 1221, and a guide block 142 may be provided on the outer wall surface of the next adjacent second sleeve 1221. At this time, the guide groove 141 on the inner wall surface and the guide block 142 on the outer wall surface of the adjacent second sleeve 1221 cooperate with each other, so as to achieve a limiting effect on the second sleeve 1221 when it moves along the first direction X, which is not limited here.

[0063] Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 8 , FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the first sleeve of an embodiment of the beverage dispensing device of the present application.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present application, the first sleeve 1211 is provided with a limiting groove 143 extending along the first direction X. A limiting block 144 is provided on each adjacent first sleeve 1211 to match the limiting groove 143. When at least two first sleeves 1211 move relative to each other to an extended state, the limiting block 144 slides to one end of the limiting groove 143. When at least two first sleeves 1211 move relative to each other to a contracted state, the limiting block 144 slides to the other end of the limiting groove 143. Specifically, when at least two first sleeves 1211 move relative to each other to an extreme state of extension, the limiting block 144 slides to one end of the limiting groove 143. When at least two first sleeves 1211 move relative to each other to an extreme state of contraction, the limiting block 144 slides to the other end of the limiting groove 143. Furthermore, by providing the first sleeves 1211 with limiting grooves 143 extending along the first direction X, and providing adjacent first sleeves 1211 with limiting blocks 144 that match the limiting grooves 143, when at least two first sleeves 1211 move along the first direction X, the limiting grooves 143 can limit the limiting blocks 144 to a certain extent, thereby preventing relative rotation between the first sleeve groups 121, which would affect the stability of the entire structure. Therefore, the limiting grooves 143 and the limiting blocks 144 cooperate with each other to prevent the first sleeve groups 121 from being displaced in other directions when the first sleeve groups 121 move relative to each other in the first direction X, thereby ensuring the stability of the first sleeve groups 121 when they move relative to each other in the first direction X. At the same time, the limiting block 144 slides in the limiting groove 143, which can reduce the contact area between the limiting block 144 and the limiting groove 143, thereby reducing the friction between the limiting block 144 and the limiting groove 143, so that the limiting block 144 can also save more effort when sliding in the limiting groove 143.

[0065] It should be noted that the guide groove 143 extending along the first direction X provided on the first sleeve 1211 in the present application can be provided on the outer wall surface of the first sleeve 1211, while the guide block 144 is provided on the inner wall surface of the previous adjacent first sleeve 1211. In this case, the guide block 144 on the inner wall surface of the adjacent first sleeve 1211 cooperates with the guide groove 143 on the outer wall surface to achieve a position limiting function when the first sleeve 1211 moves along the first direction X. Of course, in some other embodiments, the guide groove 143 can be provided on the inner wall surface of the first sleeve 1211, while the guide block 144 is provided on the outer wall surface of the next adjacent inner first sleeve 1211. In this case, the guide groove 143 on the inner wall surface of the adjacent first sleeve 1211 cooperates with the guide block 144 on the outer wall surface to achieve a position limiting function when the first sleeve 1211 moves along the first direction X. This is not a limitation herein.
