AI Technical Summary
⚠Technical Problem
Existing beverage vending machines, particularly fully automatic coffee machines, are unable to maintain basic functionalities independently of a main power supply, leading to inefficiencies and increased energy consumption when disconnected.
⚗Method used
Incorporating energy storage devices, such as capacitors, to supply basic functionalities like monitoring and control even when disconnected from the main power supply, and using a wake-up device to transition to normal operating mode based on charge state or user input.
🎯Benefits of technology
Ensures continuous basic functionality and reduced energy consumption by maintaining essential operations without a main power supply, allowing for time-controlled switching and efficient energy management.
