For example, a liquid outlet 23 may be formed at the bottom of the transition container 200, a movable plate 21 that slides up and down is disposed in the transition container 200, the area of the movable plate 21 is larger than the area of the liquid outlet 23, and the movable plate 21 needs to cover the whole liquid outlet 23, and the cross section of the movable plate 21 cannot cover the whole cross section of the transition container 200, so as to ensure that the beverage can flow downward through the space between the movable plate 21 and the inner wall of the transition container 200 or the gap or hole or channel inside the movable plate, and a contact rod 22 that extends downward is disposed in the middle of the movable plate 21. Specifically, the movable plate may include a ring and a central plate, the central plate and the ring are connected by a plurality of connecting rods, a water passing channel is formed between the central plate and the ring, the ring is used for being attached to the side wall of the transition container, so that the movable plate can stably slide up and down in the transition container, the area of the central plate is larger than that of the liquid outlet 23, and the central plate is also completely covered in shape with the liquid outlet. When the transition vessel 200 is at the upper position, the movable plate 21 in the transition vessel 200 falls on the area of the non-liquid outlet 23 at the bottom of the transition vessel 200 and closes the liquid outlet 23 due to the gravity and the pressure of the water. When the transition container 200 falls, the feeler lever 22 touches the bottom of the cup 7, the reaction force of the cup bottom of the cup 7 to the feeler lever 22 overcomes the water pressure in the transition container 200 through the transmission of the feeler lever 22, the movable plate 21 is jacked up by the movable plate 21, and the water flows out from the space between the movable plate 21 and the inner wall of the transition container 200 and flows into the cup 7 from the liquid outlet 23, and the change can be seen in fig. 9. When the transition container 200 ascends, the distance between the movable plate 21 and the liquid outlet 23 is continuously shortened, and the water in the transition container 200 continuously flows away from the liquid outlet 23. During the ascending process, when the movable plate 21 relatively falls to the non-liquid outlet 23 area at the bottom of the transition container 200, the bottom of the transition container 200 drives the movable plate 21 to continuously ascend, so that the bottom of the feeler lever 22 is separated from the bottom of the cup 7, and the movable plate 21 can close the liquid outlet 23 again.

Preferably, the bottom of the contact rod can be provided with a contact rod bottom supporting plate, the speed of the transition container is high when the transition container descends, so that a cup with lower strength, such as a paper cup, with the bottom broken by the contact rod can be avoided, the contact rod bottom supporting plate with the cross section obviously larger than that of the contact rod can be arranged, the pressure at the moment of contact can be reduced, or the acting force can be shared to the part with higher strength as much as possible.

In particular, the feeler lever 22 may be made of an elastic body, and when it is acted by a force toward the movable plate 21, the distance between the bottom of the feeler lever 22 and the movable plate 21 may be shortened. Thus, even when the bottom of the contact rod 22 contacts the bottom of the cup 7 during the falling of the transition container 200, the beverage will have a downward pressure on the movable plate 21 because the transition container 200 contains the beverage, and if the contact rod 22 props the movable plate 21, a large resistance will be overcome. The trolley 22 is elastically deformed and cannot lift up the movable plate 21. The movable plate 21 is lifted up until the elastic deformation of the feeler lever 22 is larger and the elastic force which can be output is larger and reaches the level of lifting up the movable plate 21, and at the moment, the distance between the movable plate 21 and the cup bottom of the water cup 7 is smaller, so that the fall of a larger proportion of drinks in the transition container 200 is smaller, and the drinks can not be seriously splashed after falling into the cup. When the transition container 200 is lifted, the feeler lever 22 can be restored to a less deformed state again because less liquid is already present above the movable plate 21. Therefore, when the movable plate 21 is supported by the bottom of the transition container 200, the distance between the movable plate 21 and the cup bottom is relatively large, so that more drinks or all drinks in the transition container 200 can be poured into the water cup 7.

It is further preferred that a water injection cavity 100 is further included, an outlet of the water delivery device 1 is arranged in the water injection cavity 100, the water injection cavity 100 has an outlet which can be opened or closed in a controlled manner, and the outlet is used for enabling the transition container 200 to be sent out or retracted. Through setting up water injection chamber 100, can be so that transition container 200 is in airtight container for a long time, guaranteed transition container 200's cleanness, transition container 200 in time takes place the contact with drinking cup 7, can not lead to drinking cup 7 yet to be polluted. Meanwhile, when the beverage is transferred to the interim container 200, even if the water transfer speed is too fast, the beverage splashes out of the interim container 200 and remains in the water filling chamber 100 to be recovered and not spilled to the outside.

Further preferably, a conveyor belt 6 is arranged at the positioning device, and the conveyor belt 6 is arranged to facilitate continuous conveying of the water cups.

Further preferred, still including drinking cup volume measuring device 8, drinking cup volume measuring device 8 sets up on the lateral wall of drink dress cup machine, including radial range unit and axial range unit, and radial range unit includes that 4 are the infrared range unit 81 that the interval 90 set up for measure the inside cross-sectional area of drinking cup 7, and axial measuring device is infrared range unit 81, is used for measuring the inside height of drinking cup 7. The water cups with different types and sizes are measured by the water cup volume measuring device 8, so that the transition container 200 can be ensured to convey liquid with proper volume into the water cup every time, the liquid proportion in the water cup 7 can not cause the phenomenon that the water cup is held while a person walks, the space in the water cup 7 can be fully utilized, and the quantity of the obtained drinks during one-time water fetching is improved as much as possible.

The operation principle of the present embodiment is as follows:

when the operation of filling the beverage into a certain cup is needed, the cup 7 is horizontally placed outside the cup volume measuring device 8, the diameter of the space in the cup 7 is measured by using the infrared distance measuring device 81 arranged in the radial direction, the depth of the cup 7 is measured by using the infrared distance measuring device 81 arranged in the axial direction, the sectional area is multiplied by the depth to obtain the volume of the cup 7, and then the volume is multiplied by a coefficient (the specific size is smaller and can be selected according to actual needs) smaller than 1 to obtain the volume of the beverage filled each time. The pumping device feeds the volume of beverage from the outlet chamber into the transition container 200.

Then the water cup 7 is placed on the conveyor belt 6, when the conveyor belt moves forwards, the material of the conveyor belt 6 is not rigid, so when the water cup 7 moves to the concave part of the water cup 7 positioning device 4, the water cup 7 is sunk into the concave part together with the conveyor belt 6 below the water cup 7, and the self-positioning of the water cup 7 is realized.

When the transition vessel 200 is at the upper position, the movable plate 21 in the transition vessel 200 falls on the area of the non-liquid outlet 23 at the bottom of the transition vessel 200 and closes the liquid outlet 23 due to the gravity and the pressure of the water. The outlet at the bottom of the water injection cavity 100 is opened, the transition container moving device 3 drives the transition container 200 to descend, the feeler lever 22 touches the bottom of the water cup 7, the reaction force of the bottom of the water cup 7 to the feeler lever 22 is transmitted through the feeler lever 22, the water pressure in the transition container 200 is overcome, the movable plate 21 is jacked up, and water flows out from the water passage in the movable plate 21 and flows into the water cup 7 from the liquid outlet 23. When the transition container 200 ascends, the distance between the movable plate 21 and the liquid outlet 23 is continuously shortened, and the water in the transition container 200 continuously flows away from the liquid outlet 23. During the ascending process, when the movable plate 21 relatively falls to the non-liquid outlet 23 area at the bottom of the transition container 200, the bottom of the transition container 200 drives the movable plate 21 to continuously ascend, so that the bottom of the feeler lever 22 is separated from the bottom of the cup 7, and the movable plate 21 can close the liquid outlet 23 again. The outlet of the water injection cavity 100 is closed again and the water delivery device 1 injects the beverage into the transition container 200.

The conveyor belt 6 will bring the cup 7 into which the drink has been poured forward and guide the next empty cup 7 to a set position where it can receive the drink.

further preferably, the lower limiting device 28 is an infrared distance measuring device, and when the lower limiting device 28 detects that the distance between the transition container 200 and the bottom of the cup 7 is reduced to a set distance, a signal is sent to the control device, so that the transition container moving device 3 stops operating, and the liquid outlet 23 is opened.

By measuring the distance between the bottom of the cup and the transition container in the above manner, any part of the transition container 200 or the transition container moving device 3 can be prevented from touching the inner side surface of the cup 7, thereby ensuring the cleanness of the inner wall of the cup 7.

Still further preferably, the bottom of the transition container 200 is provided with an opening device for the liquid outlet 23, the opening device for the liquid outlet 23 has a horizontal rotating shaft 25, the horizontal rotating shaft 25 is driven by the turnover motor 24, the horizontal rotating shafts 25 are respectively provided with a closing plate 26, the closing plates are used for closing the liquid outlet 23 when the horizontal rotating shaft 25 rotates to a first angle, and opening the liquid outlet 23 when the horizontal rotating shaft 25 rotates to a second angle.

The mode that adopts horizontal rotating shaft 25 to drive closing plate 26 realizes the control whether liquid outlet 23 is opened, simple structure, moreover, when closing plate 26 rotated to the second angle, can present great contained angle, for example 90 contained angles with the terminal surface of liquid outlet 23, can obtain great cross-section of going out liquid to it shifts the drink in transition container 200 to the drinking cup 7 in to do benefit to very fast.

The conveyor belt 6 in embodiment 2 is replaced with a multi-cup tray 61, and the multi-cup tray 61 has a plurality of concave portions each for containing a cup 7.

Example 4:

fig. 13 is a schematic structural view of a beverage cup filling machine according to embodiment 4 of the present invention; FIG. 14 is a schematic sectional view of a transitional container of the beverage cup filling machine according to embodiment 4 of the present invention during filling; FIG. 15 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a transition vessel in example 4 of the present invention; FIG. 16 is a schematic view of the water supply of the beverage filling machine according to embodiment 4 of the present invention; fig. 17 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the water supply of the beverage cup filling machine according to embodiment 4 of the present invention. The reference numerals in this embodiment are explained as follows:

101. water filling nozzle 102, through hole 212, body opening half cylinder 210 and main body

220. A movable bottom 213, a hinge shaft 230, a horizontal water baffle 211, a main frame

The present embodiment differs from the above embodiments in that: the structure of the water injection cavity is different from that of the transition container. Specifically, the top of the water injection chamber 100 has a water injection port 101,

wherein the transition container 200 further comprises a volume adjustment device. The capacity adjusting means is a horizontal water guard 230 slidably coupled in the main body 210 in a vertical direction, and an outer circumferential wall of the horizontal water guard 230 is engaged with an inner circumferential wall of the main body 210.

The main body 210 of the interim container 200 includes a main frame 211 and an open body half tub 212, and the open body half tub 212 is hinged at a hinge shaft 213 at the top of the main frame 211. The liquid receiving port is opened by rotating the body-opening half cylinder 212 outwards, so that rapid water inlet is realized.

The movable bottom 220 of the transition container 200 includes a first sliding plate 221 and a second sliding plate 222, which are semicircular, and a liquid outlet is formed when the first sliding plate 221 rotates relative to the second sliding plate 222.

Example 5:

this embodiment differs from embodiment 4 in that the interim container 200 does not need to be connected to an interim container moving means, and the interim container 200 itself is a part located in the filling chamber 100. The process of filling water into the transition container 200 is the same as that of embodiment 4, and when someone places a cup under the transition container 200, the first sliding plate and the second sliding plate at the bottom of the transition container 200 rotate relatively, so that water can be poured into the cup. Certainly, under the condition, the water receiving cup is deeper, and water splash can be avoided under the condition of ensuring larger water flow. The structure of this embodiment can be referred to fig. 14 and 15.

Example 6:

FIG. 18 is a schematic structural view of a water injection chamber and a transition container section in example 6. In the figure, the same reference numerals as those used in embodiment 4 are used, and the definition of the reference numerals in embodiment 4 is still used.

This embodiment is different from embodiment 4 in that the transition vessel does not need to be connected to a transition vessel moving means, and the transition vessel itself is a part located outside the water filling chamber 100 or a part in the water filling chamber 100 and a part outside the water filling chamber 100. The top of the transition container is provided with a liquid receiving port, the liquid receiving port is provided with a liquid receiving port valve plate which can be opened or closed, and the liquid receiving port valve plate is opened when water is injected into the transition container. When the user overlaps the transition container outside with the drinking cup, can make first slide and second slide relative rotation, open the liquid outlet to realize out water.

Of course, the horizontal water baffle cannot be provided in this embodiment.

Example 7:

fig. 19 is a schematic structural view of a water injection chamber and a transition container portion in example 7. In the figure, the same reference numerals as those used in embodiment 4 are used, and the definition of the reference numerals in embodiment 4 is still used.

This embodiment is different from embodiment 4 in that: the side face of the transition container is not completely opened by the body-opening half cylinder, the body-opening half cylinder only has the partial height of the side face of the transition container, the upper part of the transition container is closed, the bottom of the transition container is closed, and an independent liquid outlet is not arranged. When water injection was required, the operation was the same as in example 4. When water needs to be output into the water cup, the transition container descends, so that the closed part in the transition container is matched with the through hole of the water injection cavity 100, and the water injection cavity 100 is closed. The body opening half cylinder of the lower half part is opened, and water is drained from the transition container to the water cup. In this embodiment, the opening and closing of the body-opening half cylinder not only serves as a liquid receiving port, but also serves as a liquid outlet port, so that only one liquid flow port of the transition container is actually possible.

Example 8:

FIG. 20 is a schematic structural view of a water injection chamber and a transition vessel portion in example 8; fig. 21 is a schematic view of the transition vessel of embodiment 8 in which the liquid outlet port is partially opened. In the figure, the same reference numerals as those used in embodiment 4 are used, and the definition of the reference numerals in embodiment 4 is still used. In the figures, the newly appearing reference numerals have the following meanings: 241. a semicircular valve plate; 243. a container bottom; 244. an exhaust pipe; 245. a side wall; 246. pulling a rope; 247. an intermediate shaft.

This embodiment is different from embodiment 4 in that: the transition container is formed into two separable parts, one part is the side wall 245, the other part is the container bottom 243, the container bottom 243 can be at least partially clamped by the through hole, and when the side wall 245 is separated from the container bottom 243, the container bottom 246 can still form a seal with the bottom of the water filling cavity 100. The container bottom 243 is provided with a valve which can be controlled to open, specifically, the valve can be a pair of semicircular valve plates 241 which can rotate along an intermediate shaft 247 arranged on the diameter of the container bottom 243, the arc middle part of each semicircular valve plate 241 can be pulled by a pull rope 246, once the pull rope 246 pulls upwards, the two semicircular valve plates 241 can be opened upwards, so that liquid in the transition container can flow downwards, and the liquid flowing downwards can be guided to avoid splashing of water due to the fact that the liquid impacts the side wall of the water cup.

The vent pipe 244 is provided at the upper part of the transition container because the vent pipe 244 is provided at the upper part of the transition container, when the sidewall 245 is separated from the bottom 243 of the container, air in the sidewall 245 cannot be discharged, and the transition container cannot be filled with water. An exhaust duct 244 is provided so that the bottom of the air in the transition vessel is subjected to the pressure of water, while the top of the air is not subjected to such a pressure that air will be exhausted from the exhaust duct 244. In addition, although the drainage of the transition container into the cup can be completed without the exhaust pipe 244, since the exhaust pipe 244 is not provided at the top, when the water is drained into the cup, the water cannot flow smoothly, and bubbles are continuously injected into the transition container while the water tank flows downwards, which may cause the load applied to the transition container during the drainage to be changed intermittently, and the transition container cannot maintain the stable position. And through setting up the blast pipe, can make the air pour into transition container into from the blast pipe when transition container drainage to guaranteed the steady flow of the rivers of drainage. In addition, once the transition container is in the lowered position, i.e., when water is discharged into the cup, if the top end of the sidewall 245 is below the liquid level of the filling chamber 100, it cannot be guaranteed that the amount of liquid filled into the cup is only the amount in the transition container, and the liquid in the filling chamber 100 is over the sidewall 245 of the transition container, so that the transition container directly becomes a pipeline for continuously filling water into the cup. The above-described problems can be avoided by providing the exhaust pipe.

Of course, the length of the exhaust pipe can be shortened, and when the transition container sends water into the water cup, the top of the exhaust pipe is provided with a valve which can be opened or closed in a controlled manner. When the valve is opened, the speed of draining water from the transition container into the water cup or feeding water into the transition container can be increased, and when the valve is closed, the problem that when the transition container is used for filling water into the water cup, the top of the transition container with the top opened is submerged into liquid in the water filling cavity, so that excessive liquid is poured into the water cup can be solved. Or two ports are arranged on the side wall of the transition container, one port is responsible for water inlet, and the other port is responsible for exhausting gas in the transition container, so that the water inlet speed is improved.

Example 9:

FIG. 22 is a schematic structural view of a water injection chamber and a transition vessel part of example 9; fig. 23 is a schematic view of the transition vessel of embodiment 9 in which the liquid outlet port is partially opened. In the figure, the same reference numerals as those used in embodiment 4 are used, and the definition of the reference numerals in embodiment 4 is still used. In the figures, the new reference numerals have the following meanings: 248. an ear plate; 249. a horizontal bar.

The present embodiment is different from embodiment 8 in that: in this embodiment, each semicircular valve plate 241 is not raised at both ends but raised in the middle, specifically: the intermediate shaft 247 is disposed in the transition container in a manner that the intermediate shaft 247 can move in a vertical direction, for example, by disposing a sliding groove on an inner wall of the container, the intermediate shaft 247 can also be pulled up by a pulling rope or a pulling rod as in embodiment 8 to lift the intermediate shaft 247, two semicircular valve plates 241 are respectively hinged on two sides of the intermediate shaft 247, and a positioning device is disposed in the middle of arc-shaped sides of the semicircular valve plates 241 and can horizontally slide along a guide rod disposed below the semicircular valve plates 241. Specifically, the positioning means may be a pair of ear plates 248, the ear plates 248 sandwiching a horizontal rod 249 disposed below the semicircular valve plate 241. When the middle shaft 247 is lifted up, the arc-shaped middle part of the semicircular valve plate 241 slides on the horizontal rod 249 all the time, and the arc-shaped edge of the semicircular valve plate 241 does not leave the horizontal rod 249 even under the pressure of water, so that the lug plates 248 can always ensure the guiding function on the semicircular valve plate 241 at the two sides of the middle rod 248. Due to the supporting effect of the horizontal rod 249, the semicircular valve plate 241 does not protrude out of the lower surface of the transition container, and the transition container is prevented from directly contacting with the inner wall of the water cup. The lifting of the intermediate shaft 247 drives the lifting of the semicircular valve plate 241, which can guide the flow of the liquid in the transition container to flow towards the edge of the bottom of the water cup, thereby reducing the generated water splash. Moreover, the mode that the middle part rises and the two sides are close to the inner side is adopted, the moving direction of the plate surface of the semicircular valve plate 241 is basically consistent with the water flow direction, and the resistance when the valve plate is opened can also be reduced.

In the figures, the same reference numerals as those used in the drawings of embodiments 8 and 9 are used, and the definitions of the reference numerals in embodiments 8 and 9 are still used. In the figures, the newly appearing reference numerals have the following meanings: 250. valve plate haulage rope.

The present embodiment is different from embodiment 9 in that in embodiment 9, the movement of the two semicircular valve plates 241 is driven by the rising of the intermediate shaft 247, in this embodiment, the horizontal rod 249 is a hollow tube, and grooves are provided at two ends of the upper surface of the horizontal rod to a position near the middle, 2 valve plate pulling ropes 250 are provided in the horizontal rod 249, the a end of each valve plate pulling rope 250 is connected to the bottom of the semicircular valve plate 241, and the B ends of the two valve plate pulling ropes 250 pass through the through hole at the side of the middle of the horizontal rod 249 and are pulled. When the end B of the valve plate pulling rope is pulled, the valve plate pulling rope 250 moves in the horizontal rod, and the end A of the valve plate pulling rope 250 contracts towards the middle of the horizontal rod, so that the outer side edges of the two semicircular valve plates 241 are driven to be close to each other, the intermediate shaft 247 is arched, and a liquid outlet is opened. When the liquid is discharged, the B end of the valve plate pulling rope 250 is released, and the two semicircular valve plates 241 will fall down to close the liquid outlet.

In particular, the middle of the horizontal rod 249 is bent downwards, but the bending degree is not that the lowest end of the middle of the horizontal rod 249 is not lower than the lowest position of the transition container, so that the valve plate pulling rope 250 extending out of the groove of the horizontal rod 249 extends obliquely upwards, and the pulling force of the valve plate pulling rope 250 on the semicircular valve plate 241 has a moment relative to the intermediate shaft 247, so that the two semicircular valve plates 241 can be closed.

In the drawings, the same reference numerals as those used in embodiment 9 are used, and the definitions of the reference numerals in embodiment 9 are still used. In the figures, the newly appearing reference numerals have the following meanings: 251. a transverse bar. The present embodiment differs from embodiment 10 in that: in this embodiment, an ear plate 248 is connected to the center of the sidewall of the semicircular valve plate 241, the ear plate 248 is coplanar with the semicircular valve plate 241, the ear plate 248 is embedded in the horizontal rod 249 and can slide in the horizontal rod 249, and a valve plate pulling rope 250 is connected to the ear plate 248. Specifically, the junction of the lug plate 248 and the semi-circular valve plate 241 is located in a groove in the upper surface of the horizontal bar 249. The number of the valve plate pulling ropes 250 is 2, the pulling ropes are respectively arranged at the left side and the right side of the joint of the lug plate and the semicircular valve plate, and the joint of the lug plate 248 and the semicircular valve plate 241 is clamped through a transverse rod 251. Valve plate pull cord 250 can also slide along the inner wall of the horizontal rod. Both ends of the horizontal bar 249 are tilted upward. When the semicircular valve plate is in a horizontal state, in order to open the liquid outlet, the valve plate pulling rope 250 pulls the lug plate 248 downwards, the lug plate moves downwards in a track formed by the inner wall of the horizontal rod 249 to drive the semicircular valve plate 241 to start rotating, then the lug plate 248 moves towards the middle part of the horizontal rod 249 to drive the semicircular valve plate 241 to continue rotating, so that the intermediate shaft 247 ascends, and the area of the liquid outlet is increased.

Example 12:

FIG. 29 is a schematic configuration diagram of a positioning device for a cup in accordance with embodiment 12; in the figures, the various reference numerals have the following meanings: 300. a cup positioning device; 301. a first reed; 302. a second reed;

the present embodiment differs from the above embodiments in that: a cup positioning device 300 is further arranged below the water filling cavity and comprises two elastic reeds, namely a first reed 301 and a second reed 302, each elastic reed is arc-shaped, and the opening direction of each arc-shaped reed faces to the preset central position of the cup. When the cup is placed, the cup can be horizontally fed in, and the cup can extrude the elastic spring leaves to two sides. When the diameter part of the cup passes over the side edge of the elastic spring, the diameter part of the cup is naturally extruded to the middle position by the restoring force of the elastic spring, so that the center of the cup is in a preset position to ensure the accurate completion of the distance measuring work and the accurate feeding of the transition container.
