Example one
The embodiment provides a beverage stirring device which comprises a liquid storage device 1, a forming device 2 and a driving device. The liquid storage device 1 is used for storing liquid substances forming the stirring rod 5. The liquid substance may be water or mixed liquid mixed with other substances such as coffee resin, sugar, fruit juice, milk, salt, nut powder, etc., or mixture of several substances. The liquid substance in the liquid storage device 1 can be fed into the forming device 2, and the forming device 2 can process the fed liquid substance into a stirring rod 5 having a predetermined shape, for example, freezing or the like. The driving device comprises a transmission device 3 and a clamping device 4, the transmission device 3 can move the stirring rod 5 formed by the forming device 2 to a working position, and then the clamping device 4 clamps the stirring rod 5 and drives the stirring rod 5 to rotate. The beverage stirring device of the application can be installed on a table top or a table top, or a platform structure is arranged at the stirring position of the beverage stirring device and is used for bearing a loading device 6 for the beverage to be stirred, such as a beverage cup and the like, so that after the loading device 6 is placed at a specified position, the beverage stirring device is operated manually or automatically, the stirring rod 5 of the stirring rod 5 is inserted into the loading device 6, and the liquid substances in the loading device 6 are stirred.
As shown in FIG. 1, the beverage stirring device provided by this embodiment is a device capable of continuously making stirring rods 5, and the forming device 2 is a freezing device, and has a forming cavity 21 with a set shape therein, and the forming cavity 21 is communicated with the liquid storage device 1 through a conveying pipe 12. The liquid substance stored in the liquid storage device 1 can be fed into the molding cavity 21 of the molding device 2 through the feed pipe 12, and then the molding device 2 can quickly freeze the liquid substance to form the meltable stirring rod 5 having a predetermined shape. Preferably, a control valve 13 is installed on the delivery pipe 12, and the liquid substance stored in the liquid storage device 1 can be controlled to be added into the molding cavity 21 of the molding device 2. A discharge hole is formed in the bottom end of the forming device 2 and communicated with the forming cavity 21, and the stirring rod 5 formed in the forming cavity 21 can be driven to be pushed out of the forming cavity 21 through the discharge hole. It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the shape of the stirring rod 5 is not limited, and the cross section thereof may be circular, as shown in fig. 7 (a); or square, as shown in FIG. 7 (b); or triangular, as shown in FIG. 7 (c); or a regular polygon as shown in fig. 7(d), or other shapes, and the stirring rod 5 may be a solid structure or a hollow structure. In addition, in order to ensure the bearing capacity of the stirring rod 5, the stirring rod 5 can be designed to be thick at the top and thin at the bottom, so that the stirring rod 5 can be effectively prevented from being broken in the stirring process.
The transmission device 3 is arranged in the forming cavity 21, as shown in fig. 1, the conveying pipe 12 is connected to the upper half part of the forming cavity 21, and the transmission device 3 is positioned above the orifice of the conveying pipe 12 in the initial position. The transmission device 3 may be a slide block, and the slide block is driven by a driving device such as an air cylinder to slide up and down in the molding cavity 21. When stirring is needed, the slider pushes the formed stirring rod 5 downwards under the driving of a driving device such as an air cylinder, and the like, so that one end of the stirring rod 5 is pushed out through the discharge hole at the bottom end of the forming device 2, then the pushing device returns to the initial position, the control valve 13 on the conveying pipe 12 is opened, and the liquid substance in the liquid storage device 1 is added into the forming cavity 21 until the forming cavity 21 is filled with the liquid substance. In order to prevent the liquid substance in the molding cavity 21 from leaking from the position of the slider, a sealing structure or a sealing ring may be provided on the slider. Of course, it is also possible to add a sealing device at the upper end of the molding cavity 21, so that when the liquid storage device 1 adds the liquid substance into the molding cavity 21, the sealing device can seal the upper portion of the molding cavity 21, thereby separating the slider from the liquid substance. In another embodiment, the amount of the liquid substance added into the molding cavity 21 by the liquid storage device 1 is controlled so that the liquid substance does not contact the slider, and the liquid level is controlled below the nozzle of the delivery tube 12. The above embodiments are just examples of some possible embodiments, and any structure or method that can prevent the transmission device 3 from contacting the liquid substance during the forming process of the stirring rod 5 by the forming device 2 is within the scope of the present application.
The clamping device 4 is arranged at the discharge hole, and after the pushing device pushes the formed stirring rod 5 out of the forming device 2, the clamping device 4 can clamp the stirring rod 5. The clamping device 4 can be driven to move between a clamping position and a rotating position, wherein the clamping position is a position where the clamping device 4 can clamp the stirring rod 5 when the stirring rod 5 is pushed out, and the rotating position is a stirring position, which corresponds to a placing position of the beverage, and the clamping device 4 can clamp the stirring rod 5 to rotate, so that the stirring effect of the beverage to be stirred is achieved.
In this embodiment, the gripping means 4 are capable of gripping one or more of the stirring rods 5.
When the clamping device 4 clamps one stirring rod 5, the stirring rod 5 and the clamping device 4 can be coaxially arranged, as shown in fig. 2. In order to achieve a good stirring effect, when the stirring rod 5 is arranged coaxially with the clamping device 4, the stirring rod 5 may be designed into a rod-shaped structure with a spiral groove or a spiral protrusion on the outer wall, as shown in fig. 3 and 4. When the stirring rod 5 is a hollow structure, a spiral groove or a spiral protrusion structure may be arranged on the inner wall of the stirring rod 5. The formation of the stirring rod 5 can be realized by providing a telescopic structure for forming a spiral groove or a spiral protrusion on the inner wall of the forming cavity 21, for example, the stirring rod 5 having a spiral groove on the outer wall of the forming cavity 21, when adding a liquid substance into the forming cavity 21, the telescopic structure exposes the inner wall of the forming cavity 21, after the stirring rod 5 is formed, the telescopic structure is retracted to the inner wall of the forming cavity 21, and the stirring rod 5 can be smoothly pushed out from the forming cavity 21. The above specific forming process of the stirring rod 5 with a threaded structure is not the protection focus of the present application, and therefore, is not described herein in detail.
The stirring end of the stirring rod 5 can also be designed in the shape of a blade structure 53, as shown in fig. 5 and 6. The stirring rod 5 with the shape can be formed by designing the bottom end of the forming cavity 21 to be a blade sub-cavity communicated with the forming cavity 21 respectively at two sides of the forming cavity 21 for forming the rod body 51. Inevitably, the bottom of the forming cavity 21 is open, i.e. the discharge opening of the forming device 2, in order to enable the stirring rod 5 to be smoothly pushed out. Likewise, the specific forming process of the stirring rod 5 with the blade structure 53 is not a protection focus of the present application, and is not described herein.
The stirring rod 5 with the above shape can effectively enhance the stirring effect of the stirring rod 5, but it should be noted that, in order to ensure that the liquid substance does not leak from the discharge port after being added into the molding cavity 21, a control sealing door can be arranged at the discharge port, and the sealing door can completely seal the discharge port when the liquid substance is added. Of course, in this embodiment, the sealing may be performed by the clamp device 4, that is, the clamp device 4 is designed to shield the discharge port, and the clamp device 4 shields the discharge port when the liquid substance is added.
The stirring rod 5 may also be of an off-axis design, as shown in fig. 7(a) -7(d), and is most preferred, and may be effective for stirring. The shape of the stirring rod 5 can also be designed to be consistent with the shape of the coaxial stirring rod 5, so that the stirring effect can be further enhanced.
When the plurality of stirring rods 5 are clamped by the clamping device 4, the plurality of stirring rods 5 are circumferentially distributed around the rotating shaft of the clamping device 4 as a center, as shown in fig. 8. The shape of the stirring rod 5 can also be designed to be consistent with the shape of the coaxial stirring rod 5, and the stirring effect can also be further enhanced.
The clamping device 4 can be driven to move between a clamping position and a rotating position. Here, the term "movement in a translational direction" is to be understood in a broad sense, i.e. movement in a rotational direction is also to be understood. As shown in fig. 1, the apparatus is shown with a horizontally displaceable gripping device 4, wherein the gripping position and the rotational position are not in the same position, i.e. the gripping position is in the discharge opening position, and the rotational position is slightly offset from the discharge opening, i.e. the schematically shown left position of the discharge opening, the arrow direction being the direction of movement. During this movement, the stirring rod 5 is cut off by the clamping device 4, so that the clamping device 4 clamps the cut stirring rod 5 and moves to a rotating position, and then the cut stirring rod 5 can be driven to rotate, thereby stirring the beverage. This is more suitable for the design of the clamping device 4 for clamping a single stirring rod 5. When the clamping device 4 clamps a plurality of stirring rods 5, the clamping device 4 may be designed such that its clamping position is aligned with the discharge opening, i.e. the axis of rotation of the clamping device 4 is slightly offset from the discharge opening. Therefore, when the clamping device 4 clamps one stirring rod 5, the clamping device 4 rotates until the second clamping position moves to the discharging position, the stirring rod 5 can be intercepted in the process, then the transmission device 3 continues to push the stirring rod 5, the action is repeated until all the clamping positions clamp the stirring rod 5, and then the clamping device 4 rotates to stir the beverage. Here, the clamping position is the clamping position of each clamping position, and the rotating position is the position where the clamping device 4 can rotate for stirring after all clamping positions have been clamped.
In the embodiment, a stirring method of a beverage stirring device is also provided, which mainly relates to the situation that a clamping device 4 clamps a stirring rod 5, and comprises the following steps:
adding a liquid substance for forming a stirring rod 5 into the liquid storage device 1; adding the liquid substance in the liquid storage device 1 into a forming device 2, wherein the forming device 2 processes the added liquid substance into a stirring rod 5 with a set shape; when the beverage stirring equipment receives a stirring signal, the beverage stirring equipment clamps the stirring rod 5, drives the stirring rod 5 to move to a working position, and then drives the stirring rod 5 to rotate; after the beverage stirring equipment drives the stirring rod 5 to rotate for a set time, the beverage stirring equipment loosens the stirring rod 5, and then the beverage stirring equipment resets to start the next cycle. Because the stirring rod 5 is ice, the part which is not melted after stirring is finished falls off from the position with the designated length above the stirred liquid level and enters the beverage.
When the beverage stirring equipment receives a stirring signal, the transmission device 3 of the beverage stirring equipment pushes the stirring rod 5 out of the forming cavity 21 of the forming device 2, then the clamping device 4 of the beverage stirring equipment clamps the stirring rod 5, then the clamping device 4 moves for a set distance along the radial direction of the stirring rod 5, and then the stirring rod 5 is intercepted, and then the clamping device 4 drives the intercepted stirring rod 5 to rotate; after the stirring rod 5 is clamped by the clamping device 4, the transmission device 3 returns to the initial position, the control valve 13 between the liquid storage device 1 and the forming device 2 is opened, and the liquid substance in the liquid storage device 1 is added into the forming cavity 21 of the forming device 2 again to form a new stirring rod 5.
In a further embodiment, a waste container may be arranged below the loading device 6 for the beverage to be mixed, for example, a recovery hole is formed on a table top, a table top or a platform structure for carrying containers such as beverage cups and the like corresponding to the position of the loading device 6, and the waste container is installed or placed below the recovery hole by a reasonable structural design. When excessive ice is not needed in the beverage or solid ice is not expected to appear, the part of the stirring rod 5 which is not melted falls off after the loading device 6 is removed, falls into a lower waste container and is discarded. Of course, it should be understood that the recycling hole may be designed in various forms, for example, only one small hole is designed, and the size of the small hole should be smaller than that of the loading device 6, so as to ensure that the loading device 6 can be stably placed, and at the same time, a certain positioning function is provided, so that a user can quickly identify the placement position of the loading device 6. Or a sealing structure which can be controlled to open and close is arranged at the position of the recovery hole, the loading device 6 can be stably placed above the sealing structure in a closed state during stirring, and the stirring rod 5 can be controlled to open when needing to be recovered, and the fallen stirring rod 5 falls into the waste container through the recovery hole.

a plurality of groups of rod body forming cavities with different set shapes are arranged in the forming device. The liquid substance in the liquid storage device can be added into the rod body forming cavity for solidification and forming. In this embodiment, the molding device may be configured with molds of different specifications, and the stirring rod 5 bodies 51 of various specifications are prepared by freezing or the like. Different from the first embodiment, in the present embodiment, the transmission device may be a robot, a conveyor belt, or a conveyor chain, and the like, and when a certain specification of the stirring rod 5 is required by the equipment, the stirring rod 5 of the specification can be moved to the position to be clamped, which is also the working position.
