Description
本发明涉及一种饮品制备设备。The invention relates to a beverage preparation equipment.
茶饮的常见制备方法是将茶叶置于附带过滤机构(例如金属滤网)的茶壶内,使用热水冲泡后经由过滤机构滤出茶水饮用。该过程需要人工操作,不仅耗费较多时间,而且冲泡时间、冲泡温度等条件也难以控制。A common method of preparing tea drinks is to place the tea leaves in a teapot with a filter mechanism (such as a metal filter), brew the tea with hot water, and then filter the tea for drinking through the filter mechanism. This process requires manual operation, which not only consumes a lot of time, but also difficult to control conditions such as brewing time and brewing temperature.
为了方便可控地实现茶饮冲泡,现有技术中出现了多种泡茶机。例如,CN203493437U公开了一种转向定位装置以及饮品制备设备,其采用由多个转动轴、轴套以及连杆构成的传动连杆部来使容纳有茶叶原料的饮品原料杯实现转向,让饮品原料杯的开口转向一个具有刺破构件的过滤装置,从而完成茶饮的冲泡和滤出。In order to facilitate and controllable tea brewing, various tea brewing machines have appeared in the prior art. For example, CN203493437U discloses a steering positioning device and a beverage preparation device, which adopts a transmission link composed of a plurality of rotating shafts, shaft sleeves and connecting rods to turn a beverage raw material cup containing tea raw materials to make the beverage raw materials The opening of the cup turns to a filtering device with a piercing member to complete the brewing and filtering of tea.
上述饮品制备设备好处是能够根据需要将过滤装置与饮品原料杯放置部设置成合适的角度从而实现小型化,同时使用者合上翻盖的同时就能够让刺破构件刺破原料杯杯盖,使用方便。但是,由于其采用转向定位的原理,为了实现顺利转向,过滤装置与饮品原料杯放置部之间在水平方向、竖直方向上均需要隔开一定间距,饮品制备设备的整体体积仍然是较大的;转向装置的部件较多,连接关系较为复杂,因此部件损坏后不便于维修。另外,饮品制备前,用户需要手动放入饮品原料杯并合上翻盖才能让饮品原料杯实现转向;饮品制备完成后,用户又需要手动打开翻盖才能让饮品原料杯分离。也就是说,饮品原料杯的定位和分离等过程实际上需要用户手动配合,操作较为麻烦。若冲泡完毕后用户忘记打开翻盖让饮品原料杯分离,则饮品原料杯将一直维持着与过滤构件结合的状态,有可能滋生细菌造成污染甚至造成健康问题。The advantage of the above beverage preparation equipment is that the filter device and the beverage raw material cup placement part can be set at an appropriate angle as required to achieve miniaturization. At the same time, when the user closes the flip cover, the piercing member can pierce the raw material cup lid. convenient. However, due to the principle of steering and positioning, in order to achieve smooth steering, the filter device and the beverage raw material cup placement part need to be separated by a certain distance in the horizontal and vertical directions. The overall volume of the beverage preparation equipment is still relatively large. There are many parts of the steering device, and the connection relationship is more complicated. Therefore, it is not easy to repair after the parts are damaged. In addition, before the beverage is prepared, the user needs to manually put in the beverage raw material cup and close the flip cover to make the beverage raw material cup turn; after the beverage is prepared, the user needs to manually open the flip cover to separate the beverage raw material cup. In other words, the process of positioning and separating the beverage raw material cups actually requires manual cooperation by the user, and the operation is relatively troublesome. If the user forgets to open the flip cover to separate the beverage raw material cup after brewing, the beverage raw material cup will always maintain the state of being combined with the filter member, which may breed bacteria, cause pollution and even cause health problems.

图8是本发明实施例的限位件的结构示意图。Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the limiting member of the embodiment of the present invention.
如图8所示,限位件45为槽型构件,具有一个竖直方向延伸的限位槽451,限位槽451的侧部内表面451A的下侧部分呈曲面,前部内表面451B(即靠近过滤构件5、远离冲泡仓44的一侧表面)则为斜面。As shown in Figure 8, the limiting member 45 is a trough-shaped member with a limiting groove 451 extending in the vertical direction. The filter member 5, the side surface away from the brewing chamber 44) is an inclined surface.
两个限位件45在框体41上相对向地设置,使得限位槽451也呈相对向的状态。每个限位件45的上下两端处的框体41部分各设有一个导向柱(图中未示出),每个导向柱沿水平方向延伸,且长度方向与前后方向相垂直。每个导向柱均具有沿其长度方向延伸的导向槽部,限位件45的上下两端分别可移动地嵌合在导向槽部内,使得限位件45能够沿与前后方向相垂直的方向在导向柱的导向作用下往复移动,即,沿着与前后方向相垂直的方向移动。两个限位件45同时地沿着该与前后方向相垂直的方向移动时,相互之间将远离或靠近。The two limiting members 45 are arranged opposite to each other on the frame 41, so that the limiting groove 451 is also in an opposite state. The frame body 41 at the upper and lower ends of each limiter 45 is provided with a guide post (not shown in the figure), each guide post extends in the horizontal direction, and the length direction is perpendicular to the front and rear direction. Each guide post has a guide groove extending along its length. The upper and lower ends of the stopper 45 are respectively movably fitted in the guide groove, so that the stopper 45 can move in a direction perpendicular to the front and rear direction. The guide post moves back and forth under the guidance of the guide post, that is, moves in a direction perpendicular to the front and rear direction. When the two stoppers 45 move in the direction perpendicular to the front and rear direction at the same time, they will move away from or close to each other.
本实施例中,限位件45上还连接有复位弹簧(图中未示出),该复位弹簧的另一端固定在框体41上,使得限位件45在不受外力作用时保持在一定的位置(以下称该位置为初始位置)。两个限位件45均处于该初始位置时,限位件45之间的距离最小。In this embodiment, a return spring (not shown in the figure) is also connected to the limit member 45, and the other end of the return spring is fixed on the frame 41, so that the limit member 45 is kept at a certain level when no external force is applied. Position (hereinafter referred to as the initial position). When the two limiting members 45 are both in the initial position, the distance between the limiting members 45 is the smallest.
如图5、图7所示,限位件45位于初始位置时,其上端与框体侧杯滑槽411相抵接,且此时限位槽45与框体侧杯滑槽411对齐,使得饮品原料杯200经由通道侧杯滑槽221、框体侧杯滑槽411的引导下滑至框体侧杯滑槽411底端时,能够继续向下滑动而使得杯檐203的两侧部分进入限位槽451内。As shown in Figures 5 and 7, when the limiting member 45 is in the initial position, its upper end abuts against the frame side cup sliding groove 411, and at this time, the limiting groove 45 is aligned with the frame side cup sliding groove 411, so that the beverage ingredients When the cup 200 slides down to the bottom end of the frame-side cup chute 411 under the guidance of the channel-side cup chute 221 and the frame-side cup chute 411, it can continue to slide downward so that both sides of the cup eaves 203 enter the limiting groove. 451.

Among them, Figure 9 (a) is a schematic diagram of the beverage raw material cup in a restricted state from a side view angle, and Figure 9 (b) is a schematic diagram of the beverage raw material cup in an unrestricted state from a front view angle; Figure 10 (a) is a side view A schematic diagram of the beverage raw material cup in a restricted state from an angle, and FIG. 10(b) is a schematic diagram of a beverage raw material cup in an unrestricted state from a front view angle.
如图5、图9(a)、图10(a)所示,杯檐203的两侧部分进入限位槽451后,由于侧部内表面451A的下侧部分呈向内弯曲的曲面,处于初始位置时,两个限位槽451底端之间的距离小于杯檐203的直径,杯檐203被限制在两个限位件45夹持而不能移动;当饮品原料杯200在外力作用下向前侧方向(即图中的箭头F1的方向)移动时,由于前部内表面451B呈斜面,杯檐203的两侧边缘分别抵接前部内表面451B并继续向前移动时,会将两个限位件45同时向相互远离的方向(即图中的箭头F2、F3的方向)推动,最终从前部内表面451B的最前侧位置处脱出限位槽451,即,呈现出脱离了限位件45的状态,如图9(b)、图10(b)所示。这种状态下,若饮品原料杯200继续在外力作用下向前移动,则杯檐203将越过整个限位件45,限位件45在复位弹簧的作用下回到初始位置。此时,即使通过外力作用让饮品原料杯200再向后移动,也只能使杯檐203两侧的后部表面抵接于限位件45的前部外表面,而不能再让杯檐203回到限位槽451内了。也就是说,通过限位件45、导向柱以及复位弹簧的配合,饮品原料杯200在经由通道侧杯滑槽221、框体侧杯滑槽411下滑至限位槽451内以后,将只能单向地朝前侧方向移动,而不能朝后侧方向移动。As shown in Figures 5, 9(a), and 10(a), after the two sides of the cup eaves 203 enter the limiting groove 451, since the lower part of the side inner surface 451A is curved inwardly, it is at the initial stage Position, the distance between the bottom ends of the two limiting grooves 451 is less than the diameter of the cup eaves 203, and the cup eaves 203 is limited to the two limit members 45 and cannot move; When moving in the front direction (that is, in the direction of arrow F1 in the figure), since the front inner surface 451B is inclined, the two sides of the cup brim 203 abut against the front inner surface 451B and continue to move forward, there will be two limits. At the same time, the positioning member 45 is pushed in directions away from each other (that is, the directions of arrows F2 and F3 in the figure), and finally comes out of the limiting groove 451 from the foremost position of the front inner surface 451B, that is, it appears to be separated from the limiting member 45 The status is shown in Figure 9(b) and Figure 10(b). In this state, if the beverage raw material cup 200 continues to move forward under the action of an external force, the cup eaves 203 will pass over the entire limit member 45, and the limit member 45 will return to the initial position under the action of the return spring. At this time, even if the drink raw material cup 200 is moved backward by external force, the rear surfaces on both sides of the cup eaves 203 can only abut against the front outer surface of the stopper 45, and the cup eaves 203 cannot be allowed to Back in the limit slot 451. That is to say, through the cooperation of the limiting member 45, the guide post and the return spring, the beverage raw material cup 200 will only be able to slide into the limiting groove 451 through the channel side cup chute 221 and the frame side cup chute 411. It moves unidirectionally toward the front side, but cannot move toward the rear side.
驱动单元42为微型电机,固定设置在框体41的后部外侧位置处。The driving unit 42 is a micro-motor, and is fixedly arranged at a position outside the rear of the frame 41.
丝杠43沿前后方向水平延伸,且该丝杠43与驱动单元42的输出端相连接,因此能够在驱动单元42的驱动下转动。The lead screw 43 extends horizontally in the front-rear direction, and the lead screw 43 is connected to the output end of the drive unit 42 so that it can be rotated by the drive unit 42.
冲泡仓44具有侧壁441、容纳部442以及后壁443。The brewing bin 44 has a side wall 441, a receiving part 442 and a rear wall 443.
本实施例中,框体41两侧内壁上还设有沿前后方向延伸的冲泡仓滑槽412。侧壁441的两侧设有与该冲泡仓滑槽412相配合的多个滑块(图中未示出),该滑块分别嵌入在冲泡仓滑槽412内,从而使得冲泡仓44可沿前后方向移动地安装在了框体41上。In this embodiment, the inner walls of both sides of the frame body 41 are also provided with brewing bin sliding grooves 412 extending in the front-to-rear direction. Both sides of the side wall 441 are provided with a plurality of sliders (not shown in the figure) that cooperate with the brewing bin chute 412, and the slide blocks are respectively embedded in the brewing bin chute 412, so that the brewing bin 44 is mounted on the frame 41 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction.
侧壁441的顶侧外部设有与丝杠43相配合的螺纹部444,该螺纹部444设有与丝杠43相配合的内螺纹。由此,丝杠43在驱动单元42的驱动下转动时,即可通过螺纹部444与丝杠43之间的螺纹配合而让冲泡仓44整体前后移动。也就是说,丝杠43和驱动单元42构成了驱动冲泡仓44沿前后方向进行直线移动的驱动部。The outer side of the top side of the side wall 441 is provided with a threaded portion 444 that is matched with the screw 43, and the threaded portion 444 is provided with an internal thread that is matched with the screw 43. Therefore, when the screw 43 is rotated by the driving unit 42, the entire brewing chamber 44 can be moved back and forth through the threaded cooperation between the threaded portion 444 and the screw 43. In other words, the screw 43 and the driving unit 42 constitute a driving part that drives the brewing chamber 44 to move linearly in the front-rear direction.
容纳部442被侧壁441以及后壁443所围绕,其形状与杯体201相对应。容纳部442的前部为开口,由此,当饮品原料杯200位于冲泡仓44的前侧且其位置与容纳部442的开口对应时,冲泡仓44向前移动即可让饮品原料杯200被容纳在容纳部442中,使得冲泡仓44向前移动时,饮品原料杯200被容纳部442抵接并被带动着向前移动。由于容纳部442前部为开口,不存在能够从前侧抵接杯体201或杯盖202的部件,因此,在被容纳的状态下,当冲泡仓44向后移动时,饮品原料杯200不再被容纳部442带动着移动,即,能够与容纳部442脱离。The receiving portion 442 is surrounded by the side wall 441 and the rear wall 443 and has a shape corresponding to the cup body 201. The front part of the accommodating part 442 is an opening. Therefore, when the beverage raw material cup 200 is located on the front side of the brewing bin 44 and its position corresponds to the opening of the accommodating part 442, the brewing bin 44 moves forward to allow the beverage raw material cup to move forward. 200 is accommodated in the accommodating part 442, so that when the brewing chamber 44 moves forward, the beverage raw material cup 200 is abutted by the accommodating part 442 and driven to move forward. Since the front part of the accommodating portion 442 is open, there is no component that can abut the cup body 201 or the cup lid 202 from the front side. Therefore, in the accommodated state, when the brewing chamber 44 moves backward, the drink raw material cup 200 does not It is then driven by the receiving portion 442 to move, that is, it can be separated from the receiving portion 442.
后壁443上设有贯穿后壁443并延伸至容纳部442内的注水针445,注水针445位于容纳部442内的一端为尖端,延伸出后壁443后侧的一端与供水部103的供水管路连通。The rear wall 443 is provided with a water injection needle 445 that penetrates the rear wall 443 and extends into the receiving part 442.

The position sensing element of the first sensing unit is arranged near the limit member 45, and the position sensing element of the second sensing unit is arranged near the chassis 51 ; These position sensing elements can be infrared sensors, proximity switches, pressure sensors and other elements.
原料杯收集部7可拆卸地设置在壳体1的前侧下部,呈截面为半圆形的筒状结构,其上部为收集部开口7A。该收集部开口7A位于废弃通道41B的下方,使得饮品原料杯200能够落入其中。The raw material cup collection part 7 is detachably arranged at the lower front side of the housing 1 and has a cylindrical structure with a semicircular cross section, and the upper part is a collection part opening 7A. The collecting part opening 7A is located below the waste channel 41B, so that the beverage raw material cup 200 can fall into it.

以下结合附图说明本发明的饮品冲泡设备100的工作过程。The working process of the beverage brewing device 100 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
冲泡开始前,冲泡仓44位于如图4以及图7所示的靠后侧的位置,使得侧壁441等结构不露出在原料杯通道22下方,不会阻碍饮品原料杯200的下滑过程。Before the brewing starts, the brewing bin 44 is located at the rear side as shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, so that the side wall 441 and other structures are not exposed under the raw material cup channel 22, and the downward process of the drink raw material cup 200 will not be hindered .
图11是使用本发明实施例的饮品制备设备进行冲泡的流程图。Fig. 11 is a flow chart of brewing using the beverage preparation device of the embodiment of the present invention.
如图11所示,当使用者按下按钮开关13时,饮品制备设备100通电,进入待机状态。待机状态下,控制部106控制供水部103中的微型锅炉开始工作,对冲泡用水进行预热。然后,使用者可以将饮品原料杯200放置到凸起部11前方让识别部101B进行识别。具体的饮品制备过程包括如下步骤:As shown in FIG. 11, when the user presses the button switch 13, the beverage preparation device 100 is energized and enters a standby state. In the standby state, the control unit 106 controls the micro-boiler in the water supply unit 103 to start working to preheat the brewing water. Then, the user can place the drink raw material cup 200 in front of the protrusion 11 for the recognition part 101B to recognize. The specific beverage preparation process includes the following steps:
步骤S1,控制部106控制读取装置101进行读取动作,当读取到识别标识时进入步骤S2。In step S1, the control unit 106 controls the reading device 101 to perform a reading operation, and when the identification mark is read, it proceeds to step S2.
步骤S2,识别部101B根据读取到的冲泡识别信息获取对应的冲泡参数,然后进入步骤S3。In step S2, the identification unit 101B obtains corresponding brewing parameters according to the read brewing identification information, and then proceeds to step S3.
步骤S3,控制部106控制开盖机构21A将盖件21打开,让使用者能够将饮品原料杯200放入原料杯通道22。此时,使用者即可将饮品原料杯200按照杯盖202朝向前侧、杯体203底部朝向后侧的方向将饮品原料杯200放入原料杯通道22,使饮品原料杯200在通道侧杯滑槽221、框体侧杯滑槽411的引导下向下滑动至限位件45处。一旦位置感应部105中的第一感应单元感应到饮品原料杯到达限位件45处,就进入步骤S4。In step S3, the control unit 106 controls the lid opening mechanism 21A to open the lid 21, so that the user can put the beverage raw material cup 200 into the raw material cup channel 22. At this time, the user can put the raw drink cup 200 into the raw cup channel 22 in the direction that the lid 202 faces the front side and the bottom of the cup body 203 faces the back side, so that the raw drink cup 200 is on the side of the channel. Guided by the sliding groove 221 and the sliding groove 411 of the frame side cup, slide down to the stop member 45. Once the first sensing unit in the position sensing part 105 senses that the drink material cup reaches the limit piece 45, step S4 is entered.
步骤S4,控制部106控制驱动单元42驱动丝杠43转动,使得冲泡仓44向前移动。由于限位件45实际上位于冲泡仓44与过滤构件5之间,冲泡仓44在驱动部的驱动下向前移动(即朝向过滤构件5移动)时,就使饮品原料杯200被容纳部442所容纳而跟随冲泡仓44向前移动。此过程中,饮品原料杯200将限位构件45向两侧方向(即箭头F2、F3方向)推开,脱离限位构件45并继续向前移动。饮品原料杯200到达过滤构件5处但杯盖203尚未被刺破时,由于冲泡仓44仍向前移动,饮品原料杯200将继续前移而使得杯盖202被刺破构件52刺破,同时杯体201的底部被注水针445刺破,使得饮品原料杯200最终到达杯盖202抵接至底盘51的状态。此时,由于杯体201已经被注水针445***,同时杯盖202被刺破构件52刺破,注水冲泡的过程就可以开始,因此该状态下饮品原料杯200就到达了预定冲泡位置。一旦位置感应部106中的第二感应单元感应到饮品原料杯200到达预定冲泡位置,就进入步骤S5。In step S4, the control unit 106 controls the driving unit 42 to drive the screw 43 to rotate, so that the brewing chamber 44 moves forward. Since the stopper 45 is actually located between the brewing bin 44 and the filter member 5, when the brewing bin 44 moves forward (that is, moves toward the filter member 5) driven by the driving part, the drink material cup 200 is accommodated The portion 442 is accommodated and moves forward following the brewing chamber 44. During this process, the beverage raw material cup 200 pushes the limiting member 45 to both sides (that is, the directions of arrows F2 and F3), detaches from the limiting member 45 and continues to move forward. When the beverage raw material cup 200 reaches the filter member 5 but the cup lid 203 has not been pierced, since the brewing chamber 44 is still moving forward, the beverage raw material cup 200 will continue to move forward and the cup lid 202 will be pierced by the piercing member 52. At the same time, the bottom of the cup body 201 is pierced by the water injection needle 445, so that the beverage raw material cup 200 finally reaches the state where the cup lid 202 abuts against the bottom plate 51. At this time, since the cup body 201 has been inserted by the water injection needle 445 and the cup lid 202 is pierced by the piercing member 52, the water injection and brewing process can begin, so the drink material cup 200 reaches the predetermined brewing position in this state. . Once the second sensing unit in the position sensing part 106 senses that the drink material cup 200 reaches the predetermined brewing position, step S5 is entered.
步骤S5,控制部106根据冲泡参数,控制供水部103按照该冲泡参数进行供水,即,供水部103按照预定的冲泡温度、冲泡时间及冲泡速度等进行供水,该冲泡用水经由注水针445向饮品原料杯200内提供,从而进行冲泡,此时冲泡产生的饮品经由出水口12流出。一旦到达预定的冲泡时间,控制部106就控制供水部103停止供水,然后进入步骤S6。In step S5, the control unit 106 controls the water supply unit 103 to supply water according to the brewing parameters according to the brewing parameters, that is, the water supply unit 103 supplies water according to the predetermined brewing temperature, brewing time, and brewing speed. The water injection needle 445 is provided into the beverage raw material cup 200 for brewing. At this time, the beverage produced by the brewing flows out through the water outlet 12. Once the predetermined brewing time is reached, the control unit 106 controls the water supply unit 103 to stop water supply, and then proceeds to step S6.
步骤S6,控制部106控制驱动单元42驱动丝杠43反向转动,使得冲泡仓44向后移动, 回到冲泡开始前的靠后位置。此过程中,饮品原料杯200一开始将在注水针445的带动下略微向后移动,使得杯盖202先脱离过滤构件5。饮品原料杯200到达限位件45后,将被限位件45所限位而不能跟随容纳部442向后移动。该状态下,注水针445继续随冲泡仓向后移动,脱离饮品原料杯200,饮品原料杯200失去支撑,从废弃通道41B以及收集部开口7A落入原料杯收集部7。当冲泡仓44回到待机状态下的位置时,整个冲泡过程即结束,饮品制备设备100回到待机状态,直到使用者关闭开关13而让设备断电。In step S6, the control unit 106 controls the driving unit 42 to drive the screw 43 to rotate in the reverse direction, so that the brewing chamber 44 moves backward and returns to the rear position before the start of brewing. During this process, the beverage raw material cup 200 will initially move slightly backwards driven by the water injection needle 445, so that the cup lid 202 will be separated from the filter member 5 first. After the beverage raw material cup 200 reaches the limiting member 45, it will be limited by the limiting member 45 and cannot follow the receiving portion 442 to move backward. In this state, the water injection needle 445 continues to move backwards with the brewing chamber and separates from the raw drink cup 200. The raw drink cup 200 loses support and falls into the raw cup collection part 7 from the waste channel 41B and the collection part opening 7A. When the brewing bin 44 returns to the position in the standby state, the entire brewing process ends, and the beverage preparation device 100 returns to the standby state until the user turns off the switch 13 to power off the device.
实施例的作用与效果The function and effect of the embodiment
根据本实施例提供的冲泡定位机构以及饮品制备设备,由于框体的顶部具有进入通道,进入通道的底端位置处设有限位件,饮品原料杯可以从上方放入冲泡定位机构并被限制在限位件的位置处;同时,过滤机构位于限位件和冲泡仓之间,驱动部只需要驱动冲泡仓进行直线移动即可让冲泡仓中的容纳部带动饮品原料杯移动,从而让饮品原料杯到达过滤机构处的冲泡预定位置。因此,本实施例的冲泡定位机构中,饮品原料杯的进入为竖直方向依靠重力而实现的自然下移,驱动部和冲泡仓仅需进行简单直线移动即可实现冲泡定位,一方面,各机构空间位置紧凑,能够更好地实现小型化,另一方面,不需要复杂的传动机构,整体结构简单,更容易维修。According to the brewing positioning mechanism and the beverage preparation device provided by this embodiment, since the top of the frame has an entrance channel, and the bottom end of the entrance channel is provided with a stopper, the drink material cup can be put into the brewing positioning mechanism from above and be Restricted to the position of the limit piece; at the same time, the filter mechanism is located between the limit piece and the brewing bin, and the driving part only needs to drive the brewing bin to move linearly to allow the receiving part in the brewing bin to drive the drink material cup to move , So that the drink material cup reaches the predetermined brewing position at the filter mechanism. Therefore, in the brewing positioning mechanism of this embodiment, the entry of the beverage raw material cup is a natural downward movement realized by gravity in the vertical direction, and the driving part and the brewing chamber only need to perform simple linear movement to realize the brewing positioning. On the one hand, the space of each mechanism is compact, which can better achieve miniaturization. On the other hand, it does not require a complicated transmission mechanism, the overall structure is simple, and it is easier to maintain.
实施例中,由于饮品原料杯到达冲泡预定位置的动作由驱动部以及冲泡仓完成,因此,使用者只需要实施将饮品原料杯放入的动作,冲泡时的操作更为简单。进一步,冲泡完成后,饮品原料杯的脱离也由驱动部在控制部的控制下自动完成,使用者在冲泡完成后也不需要实施任何动作,不仅操作简单,也不会产生忘记手动脱离饮品原料杯而滋生细菌的问题。In the embodiment, since the action of the beverage raw material cup reaching the predetermined brewing position is completed by the driving part and the brewing chamber, the user only needs to implement the action of putting the beverage raw material cup into, and the operation during brewing is simpler. Furthermore, after the brewing is completed, the detachment of the drink material cup is also automatically completed by the driving part under the control of the control part, and the user does not need to perform any actions after the brewing is completed, not only the operation is simple, but also the manual detachment will not be forgotten. The problem of bacteria breeding in the cup of the raw material of the drink.
实施例中,由于读取装置能够读取识别标识并获取对应的冲泡参数,因此使用者也不需要考虑冲泡条件是否合适的问题。读取装置读取到识别标识后,控制部才控制开盖机构将盖件打开,因此不使用状态下设备的内部结构处于封闭的状态,能够防止灰尘或其他杂物进入。In the embodiment, since the reading device can read the identification mark and obtain the corresponding brewing parameters, the user does not need to consider whether the brewing conditions are appropriate. After the reading device reads the identification mark, the control unit controls the lid opening mechanism to open the lid. Therefore, the internal structure of the device is in a closed state when not in use, which can prevent dust or other debris from entering.
实施例中,由于限位件的数量为两个,该两个限位件相对向设置且能够相互靠近或远离,且限位件中的限位槽侧部内表面下侧部分呈曲面,限位槽底端之间的距离还小于杯檐的直径,因此,限位件能够在饮品原料杯下滑时对其进行夹持限位,在冲泡仓带动饮品原料杯向前移动时又能够相互远离而让饮品原料杯脱离。进一步,该限位件还能够在冲泡仓向后移动时对饮品原料杯再次进行限位以避免饮品原料杯被注水针带动而后移。由此,实施例采用简单的结构就能够实现饮品原料杯的下滑后的竖直方向限位、冲泡时脱离限位以及冲泡结束后在水平方向再次限位这三种作用,在进入通道以及冲泡仓的配合下让饮品原料杯按下滑、前移、后移、落下的顺序移动,完成整个冲泡过程。此外,位置感应部还能够感应饮品原料杯是否已经到达相应的位置,让控制部根据感应结果控制相应的部件进行动作(例如在到达预定冲泡位置后才进行供水),因此整个移动及冲泡的过程的位置控制更为准确,不会产生饮品原料杯未到位就进行移动或供水的问题。In the embodiment, since the number of the stopper is two, the two stoppers are arranged opposite to each other and can be close to or far away from each other, and the lower part of the inner surface of the side of the stop groove in the stopper is curved. The distance between the bottom ends of the tank is still smaller than the diameter of the cup eaves. Therefore, the limiter can clamp and limit the drink material cup when it slides, and can move away from each other when the brewing chamber drives the drink material cup to move forward. And let the drink raw material cup detach. Furthermore, the limiting member can also limit the beverage raw material cup again when the brewing chamber moves backward to prevent the beverage raw material cup from being driven by the water injection needle to move backward. Therefore, the embodiment adopts a simple structure to achieve three functions: the vertical limit of the drink material cup after sliding down, the release of the limit during brewing, and the limit again in the horizontal direction after the end of brewing. And with the cooperation of the brewing bin, the beverage raw material cups are moved in the order of pressing, sliding, moving forward, moving back, and falling to complete the entire brewing process. In addition, the position sensing unit can also sense whether the drink material cup has reached the corresponding position, and let the control unit control the corresponding components to act according to the sensing result (for example, water supply is performed after reaching the predetermined brewing position), so the entire movement and brewing The position control of the process is more accurate, and there will be no problem of moving or supplying water before the drink material cup is in place.
实施例中,由于框体设有位于限位件下方的废弃通道,废弃通道下方还设有原料杯收集部,因此冲泡完成后可,使用完毕的饮品原料杯可以直接落下掉入原料杯收集部,使用者不 需要每次取出使用完毕的饮品原料杯,而是可以在存满后再取出清理。In the embodiment, since the frame body is provided with a waste channel under the limiting member, and a raw material cup collection part is also provided under the waste channel, after the brewing is completed, the used beverage raw material cups can be dropped directly into the raw material cup for collection The user does not need to take out the used drink material cup every time, but can take it out and clean it after it is full.

实施例中,限位件的限位槽可以让杯檐进入,其通过对杯檐进行限位从而对饮品原料杯进行限位。但在本发明中,针对不具有杯檐的饮品原料杯时,也可以将限位槽在水平方向上的宽度设置得与饮品原料杯的厚度相同,使得限位件也能够对饮品原料杯进行限位。In an embodiment, the limit groove of the limit member can allow the cup eaves to enter, and it limits the position of the drink raw material cup by restricting the cup eaves. However, in the present invention, for a drink material cup without a cup eaves, the width of the limit groove in the horizontal direction can also be set to be the same as the thickness of the drink material cup, so that the limit piece can also be used for the drink material cup. Limit.
实施例中,限位件通过导向柱安装而可移动地安装在框体上,在本发明中,限位件也可以通过其他方式可移动地安装在框体上,例如直接在框体上设置导向槽部并让限位件嵌入导向槽部。In the embodiment, the limiting member is movably installed on the frame body through the installation of the guide post. In the present invention, the limiting member can also be movably installed on the frame body in other ways, for example, directly on the frame body. Guide the groove and let the stopper fit into the guide groove.
另外,实施例中,壳体的后侧下部设有电路板仓,该位置仍有空余空间,还可以根据需要放置一个用于储存冷水的水箱;此外,也可以将储存仓换成水箱,使得本发明的饮品制备设备使用更为方便。In addition, in the embodiment, the lower part of the rear side of the housing is provided with a circuit board warehouse. There is still free space in this position. A water tank for storing cold water can also be placed as needed; in addition, the storage warehouse can also be replaced with a water tank, so that The beverage preparation equipment of the present invention is more convenient to use.
另外,实施例中,原料杯收集部需要靠使用者判断是否已满并取出清理,在本发明中,还可以在原料杯收集部中设置用于感应内部是否已满的感应元件(例如红外传感器),并在壳体上设置相应的警告单元(例如LED灯),当感应到原料杯收集部已满时,控制部就控制警告单元发出警告,提示使用者取出清理。In addition, in the embodiment, the raw material cup collection part needs to be judged by the user whether it is full and taken out for cleaning. In the present invention, a sensing element (such as an infrared sensor) for sensing whether the interior is full can also be provided in the raw material cup collection part. ), and a corresponding warning unit (such as an LED light) is provided on the shell. When the material cup collecting part is sensed to be full, the control part controls the warning unit to issue a warning, prompting the user to take it out and clean it.
实施例中,饮品制备设备根据饮品原料杯的识别标识所对应的冲泡参数进行全自动的冲泡。但为了满足使用者的操控需求,也可以在凸起部处设置输入显示部(例如触摸屏),让使用者自行设定冲泡参数并选择开始进行冲泡。这种情况下,一旦使用者选择开始,控制部就控制开盖机构打开盖件,并在冲泡过程中基于设定的冲泡参数进行控制。In an embodiment, the beverage preparation device performs fully automatic brewing according to the brewing parameters corresponding to the identification mark of the drink raw material cup. However, in order to meet the user's control requirements, an input display portion (such as a touch screen) can also be provided at the raised portion, allowing the user to set the brewing parameters by himself and choose to start brewing. In this case, once the user chooses to start, the control unit controls the lid opening mechanism to open the lid, and controls based on the set brewing parameters during the brewing process.
