In the above embodiment, in order to monitor the conveying speed of the beverage powder in real time, a rotation speed sensor 6a for detecting the rotation speed of the material pushing motor 6 may be further included. When the rotating speed of the pushing screw rod 3 is higher, the conveying speed of the drink powder is higher, and when the rotating speed of the pushing screw rod 3 is lower, the conveying speed of the drink powder is lower. The rotation speed sensor may be a hall element. Therefore, the quantity of the coffee powder can be controlled by sensing the rotating speed of the motor, so that a user can adjust the quantity on the control panel.

In a particular embodiment, the transmission assembly 7 comprises a transmission rod 7a, a first bevel gear 7b and a second bevel gear 7 c. The transmission rod 7a is connected with the output end of the pushing motor 6, and the first bevel gear 7b is fixed on the transmission rod 7a, namely the first bevel gear 7b and the transmission rod 7a are circumferentially fixed. The second bevel gear 7c meshes with the first bevel gear 7 b. The second bevel gear 7c rotates to drive the pushing screw 3 to rotate. In this embodiment, the pushing motor 6 drives the transmission rod 7a to rotate, the transmission rod 7a rotates to drive the first bevel gear 7b to rotate, the first bevel gear 7b drives the second bevel gear 7c to rotate, and the second bevel gear 7c drives the pushing screw 3 to rotate, so that the transportation of the beverage powder is realized.

Further, among the above-mentioned whitewashed mechanism that falls, still including setting up the stirring rod 8 in beverage powder box 1, transfer line 7a rotates and drives stirring rod 8 and rotate. The transmission rod 7a can penetrate through the bottom wall of the beverage powder box 1, the top end of the transmission rod 7a extends into the beverage powder box 1, the transmission rod 7a and the bottom wall of the beverage powder box 1 can rotate relatively, and the transmission rod 7a and the bottom wall of the beverage powder box 1 are connected in a sealing mode. The stirring rod 8 and the transmission rod 7a can be fixedly connected, or the stirring rod 8 and the transmission rod 7a can be circumferentially fixed. So set up, when people adopted the mixed bubble of multiple drink powder, can arrange multiple drink powder in drink powder box 1 jointly to use transfer line 7a to drive the stirring rod 8 stirring, so that multiple drink powder intensive mixing.

And the feed inlet of the powder testing channel 4 is higher than the discharge outlet thereof, so that the beverage powder can directly fall into the brewing system 5 under the action of gravity. The powder testing channel 4 is suitable for manual powder dropping, and a user can put coffee powder into the brewing cup 5e from the powder testing channel 4 and use the coffee powder when the user only wants to test one kind of coffee powder.

The discharge hole of the test powder channel 4 can be coincided with the discharge hole of the feeding channel 2. The powder testing channel 4 can be arranged along the vertical direction, so that the beverage powder can directly fall into the brewing system 5. The feed channel 2 may be arranged in a horizontal direction.

Preferably, in order to prevent moisture of the brewing system 5 from affecting the passage of the powder falling mechanism, the powder falling mechanism further comprises an openable and closable door body 9 arranged at the discharge port of the feeding passage 2. After the blanking is finished, the door body 9 is closed to prevent the moisture from influencing the channel of the powder falling mechanism. When blanking is needed, the door body 9 is opened. The door 9 can be opened or closed manually. Alternatively, the opening and closing of the door 9 may be controlled by a motor, an electromagnetic valve, or the like. For example, when a user presses a button to brew coffee, the system drives the door 9 to open through a motor or an electromagnetic valve, and then starts the coffee powder delivering action, and controls the door to close when the coffee powder delivering action is completed.

In the above embodiment, an opening/closing driving member for driving the door 9 to open and close may be further included. When the door body 9 is a revolving door, the opening and closing driving member may be an opening and closing driving motor or a worm and gear mechanism. When the door 9 is a sliding door, the opening/closing driving member may be a cylinder, a linear motor, or the like.
