[0017] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely to facilitate and simplify the description of the present invention. They are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0019] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0020] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0021] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, this embodiment provides an automatic wine dispensing device, including: a wine storage tank 1; a delivery pipe 3, one end of which is connected to the liquid outlet of the wine storage tank 1; a wine outlet 4, which is arranged at the end of the delivery pipe 3 away from the wine storage tank 1; a driving device, connected to the wine outlet 4, used to drive the wine outlet 4 to perform rotational and telescopic movements above the cup rack, so that the wine outlet 4 can fill bullet cups at different positions on the cup rack.

[0022] For example, the driving device can be a rotary and telescopic driving device, which adjusts the angle of the robotic arm by rotating the turntable. The robotic arm can be telescoped back and forth to adjust the radius of the wine outlet and the base, thereby realizing fixed-point movement in a plane space.

[0023] A pump and a control valve can be provided on the delivery pipeline. By controlling the power of the pump and the degree and duration of opening and closing of the control valve, the material can be quantitatively delivered from the wine storage tank 1 through the delivery pipeline 3 to the wine outlet 4, and then poured into the bullet cup from the wine outlet 4, thereby achieving quantitative packaging of the wine. The provision of the rotary and telescopic drive device enables the wine outlet 4 to rotate back and forth, thereby moving the wine outlet 4 to the top of the bullet cup for pouring.

[0024] The automatic wine dispensing device provided in this embodiment is equipped with a rotary and telescopic driving device to drive the wine outlet 4 to rotate and telescope above the cup rack, so that the wine outlet 4 can fill the bullet cups at different positions on the cup rack, which can meet the use of the automatic wine dispensing device and is applicable to a wider range of places.

[0025] The drive mechanism is a rotary and telescopic drive mechanism, comprising a base 5, a turntable 6, a first motor 7, a second motor 8, and a robotic arm 9. The turntable 6 is mounted on the base 5 and driven by the first motor 7 to rotate along a transverse plane on the base 5. For example, the wine outlet 4 is located at the end of the robotic arm 9 away from the wine storage tank 1. During use, the angle of the robotic arm 9 can be changed by rotating the turntable 6, and the radius of the wine outlet 4 and the base 5 can be changed by extending and retracting the robotic arm 9 forward and backward.

[0026] Among them, the conveying pipe 3 is a hose, one end of which is fixed on the end of the robotic arm 9 away from the second motor, and when fixed, a length of the conveying pipe 3 is left so that it can move with the robotic arm 9 to avoid affecting the use of the device due to the amorphous shape of the conveying pipe 3.

[0027] The automatic wine dispensing device further comprises a cup rack, which is arranged on one side of the wine storage tank 1. The cup rack has a plurality of placement areas 2 for placing bullet cups. For example, the placement areas 2 on the cup rack can be arranged in multiple rows and columns.

[0028] The automatic wine dispensing device further includes a sensing device and a controller; the sensing device and the rotary and telescopic drive device are both electrically connected to the controller. The sensing device is disposed on the cup holder and is used to sense which placement area 2 contains an empty shot cup and transmit a signal to the controller. The controller controls the rotary and telescopic drive device to operate, thereby moving the wine outlet 4 to the top of the target shot cup for wine dispensing. For example, the sensing device can be a weight sensor, with a weight sensor disposed at the bottom of each placement area 2. This arrangement allows the weight sensor to both sense the position of the shot cup and achieve quantitative liquid dispensing. For example, assuming the mass of the shot cup is 50g and the mass of the wine to be dispensed is 30g, when the weight sensor senses a mass between 50g and 80g, the controller determines the position of the weight sensor and controls the wine outlet 4 to move to the top of the corresponding placement area 2. Simultaneously, the controller controls the pump and control valve to open, allowing liquid to be dispensed into the shot cup. When the weight sensor senses a mass of 80g, the controller controls the pump and control valve to close, and controls the wine outlet 4 to move to the next placement area 2 for liquid dispensing. Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
