As shown in fig. 1 to 8, a water outlet seat 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a bottom frame 110, a water outlet nozzle 130, a top member 150, and an electric driving assembly 170. Wherein the water outlet nozzle 130 is movably disposed on the bottom frame 110. The water spout 130 moves to switch between the first position and the second position. The top member 150 has a first connection portion 151 rotatably connected with the base frame 110, a second connection portion 153 offset from the first connection portion 151, and a top portion 155 offset from the first connection portion 151. The top member 150 is rotatable to switch the top 155 between the raised position and the lowered position. When the top 155 is switched from the falling position to the jacking position, the water outlet nozzle 130 is jacked to the first position, and the structural schematic diagram when the top 155 is located at the jacking position and the water outlet nozzle 130 is located at the first position is shown in fig. 6. When the top 155 is switched from the jack-up position to the falling position, the water outlet 130 can be forced to fall back to the second position, and the structure of the top 155 at the falling position and the water outlet 130 at the second position is shown in fig. 2. The electric driving assembly 170 is used to drive the second connection portion 153 of the top member 150 to move so that the top 155 can be switched between the raised position and the lowered position.

Above-mentioned play water seat 100, through the activity of the second connecting portion 153 of electric drive subassembly 170 drive top 150, and then make out water injection well choke 130 switch between first position and second position to make the case of drink container's delivery port department be close to or keep away from drink container's inner chamber removal, and then realize opening or closure of case, need not to operate the operation button promptly and also can make drink machine continuous play water continuously.

In this embodiment, the electric driving assembly 170 is used to drive the second connection portion 153 of the top member 150 to move so as to rotate the top member 150 to the top portion 155 at the jack-up position. And the top member 150 rotates under its own weight or under its own weight and the pressure of the water outlet nozzle 130 to switch the top to the falling position.

In this embodiment, the first connection portion 151 and the second connection portion 153 are respectively located at opposite ends of the top member 150, and the top 155 is located between the first connection portion 151 and the second connection portion 153. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the first and second connection portions are not limited to being located at the two ends of the top piece, respectively. Likewise, the top is not limited to being located between the first connection portion and the second connection portion. The rotary connection of the top piece and the underframe can be realized through the first connecting part, and the second connecting part of the top piece is driven to move through the electric driving assembly so that the top piece rotates to the position where the top part is positioned at the jacking position.

In this embodiment, the top member 150 is rotatably connected to the bottom frame 110, so that the top member 150 can be effectively prevented from being deviated, and the water outlet nozzle 130 can be more stably driven to switch between the first position and the second position. Simultaneously, the top 155 can be switched to the jacking position and the falling position more accurately, so that when the top 155 is located at the jacking position, the water outlet nozzle 130 can be jacked to the first position more accurately, and when the top 155 is located at the falling position, the water outlet nozzle 130 can fall back to the second position more accurately under the force.

Of course, it is understood that the beverage machine with the outlet seat 100 has a control system that controls the operation of the electric drive assembly 170 upon receiving an outlet command.

Note that, referring to fig. 8, the water outlet nozzle 130 has a drainage channel 131 with two open ends. The drainage channel 131 has a first end 1311 and a fourth end 1313 at opposite ends. The water outlet nozzle 130 is used for being in butt joint with a beverage container on the beverage machine, and beverage in the beverage container flows out from the water outlet nozzle 130. Specifically, first end 1311 of drain channel 131 interfaces with a drink container. Beverage in the beverage container flows into the drainage channel 131 from the first end 1311 of the drainage channel 131 and flows out from the fourth end 1313 of the drainage channel 131.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when the water outlet nozzle 130 is moved from the second position to the first position, the valve core is pushed to move, so as to change the open/close state of the valve core. Specifically, in the present embodiment, a pushing portion 133 is disposed on an inner sidewall of the drainage channel 131 of the water outlet nozzle 130, and the pushing portion 133 abuts against the valve core to push the valve core to move in the process of moving the water outlet nozzle 130 from the second position to the first position.

Alternatively, in the present embodiment, the pushing portion 133 is located entirely within the drainage channel 131 of the tap. Thus, when beverage in the beverage container flows through the drainage channel 131 of the tap 130, the pushing part 133 can play a role of drainage.

Further, the end of the pushing portion 133 that abuts against the valve core is spaced from the first end 1311 of the drainage channel 131, that is, the end of the pushing portion 133 that is close to the first end 1311 of the drainage channel 131 is spaced from the first end 1311 of the drainage channel 131. On the one hand, the liquid can flow out of the fourth end 1313 of the drainage channel 131 more smoothly; on the other hand, the beverage flowing into the drainage channel 131 can be prevented from flowing out from the first end 1311 of the drainage channel 131, so that the operation of the electric driving assembly and the like is prevented from being influenced due to the fact that the electric driving assembly and the like are wetted by the structure of the water outlet seat 100, the cleaning of the structure of the top piece, the chassis and the like is prevented from being influenced due to the fact that the beverage is attached to the structure of the top piece, the chassis and the like, and the breeding of bacteria and the like is prevented.

In addition, in the present embodiment, two pushing portions 133 are disposed in the drainage channel 131 at intervals along the circumferential direction of the drainage channel 131. Therefore, the hydraulic pressure of the beverage flowing into the drainage channel 131 of the water outlet nozzle 130 can be balanced to a certain extent, and the beverage can flow out of the fourth end 1313 of the drainage channel 131 more smoothly.

In this embodiment, the two pushing portions 133 have the same structure and the same size, and are disposed opposite to the axis of the drainage channel 131, so that when the valve core is pushed to move, the axial stress of the valve core is balanced, i.e. the phenomenon that the stress of one side of the valve core is concentrated is avoided. It will be appreciated that in two other possible embodiments, the number of pushers within the drainage channel is not limited to two. And the size and shape of the different pushing parts can be different, and the interval between the adjacent pushing parts can be the same or different.

Of course, in another possible embodiment, the pushing portion may be further disposed on the outer side or the end portion of the water outlet nozzle, and may push the valve core to move. Alternatively, the valve core can be pushed to move directly through the end part of the water outlet nozzle.

Of course, in other possible embodiments, the valve element may be driven to move in the opposite direction by movement of the water spout 130, such as by providing a gear mechanism or the like between the water spout and the valve element.

In this embodiment, the movement of the valve core at the water outlet of the beverage container is directly controlled by the movement of the water outlet nozzle 130, so that the use of other elements is avoided, and the structure of the water outlet seat 100 is simpler.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first connection portion 151 and the second connection portion 153 of the top member 150 are relatively fixed. The axis of rotation of the first connection portion 151 of the top member 150 with respect to the bottom frame 110 is a first axis a, and the electric driving assembly 170 drives the second connection portion 153 of the top member 150 to rotate about the first axis a, so that the top member 150 rotates about the first axis a.

More specifically, in the present embodiment, the first and second connection portions 151 and 153 of the top member 150 are tilted with respect to the top portion 155. Of course, in other possible embodiments, the first and second connection portions 151 and 153 of the top 150 are not limited to being tilted with respect to the top 155. The structure of the top member 150 may be any regular or irregular shape, so as to ensure that the electric driving assembly 170 can drive the second connecting portion 153 to move, so that the top member 150 can rotate.

Of course, in another possible embodiment, if the first connection portion and the second connection portion of the top member are relatively not fixed, the top member second connection portion is not rotated about the first axis in such a manner that it is movable under the drive of the electric drive assembly.

For example, it is possible that the top member is of a telescopic structure, and the rotation of the top member can be achieved by directly driving the second connection portion of the top member to move by the electric driving assembly. The direction of the first connecting part of the top piece pointing to the second connecting part is set to be the radial direction of the top piece. The electric driving assembly drives the second connecting part of the top piece to move, namely, the electric driving assembly applies a force which is not perpendicular to the radial direction of the top piece and is not parallel to the radial direction of the top piece to the second connecting part of the top piece, the component force of the tensile force in the radial direction of the top piece drives the top piece to stretch, and the component force of the force in the radial direction perpendicular to the top piece drives the top piece to rotate. That is, the second connecting portion of the top member is rotated relative to the first connecting portion while being moved.

In this embodiment, the electric driving assembly 170 includes a rotating member 171 rotatably disposed on the chassis 110 and a motor 173 for driving the rotating member 171 to rotate. The rotating member 171 rotates to drive the second connection portion 153 of the top member 150 to move, thereby driving the top member 150 to rotate until the top 155 is located at the jack-up position.

Specifically, the rotation member 171 abuts against the second connection portion 153 of the top member 150. The surface of the rotation member 171 abutting against the top member 150 has a projection 1711. Rotation of the rotation member 171 may cause the tip of the projection 1711 to abut against or disengage from the second connection portion 153 of the top member 150. It will be appreciated that when the top end of the projection 1711 abuts the second connection 153 of the top piece 150, the second connection 153 of the top piece 150 reaches the highest position that is lifted up, so that the top piece 150 is held in the lifted up position. Accordingly, when the second connection portion 153 of the top member 150 is separated from the top end of the protrusion 1711, the top member 150 can be switched from the raised position to the falling position by the external force.

In the present embodiment, the portion of the surface of the rotation member 171 abutting against the top member 150 where the projection 1711 is not provided is the recess 1713; the surface of the top member 150 adjacent to the rotation member 171 is provided with an abutment boss 154. The rotation member 171 rotates until the projection 1711 abuts against or disengages from the abutment boss 154. After the abutment boss 154 is disengaged from the protrusion 1711, the abutment boss 154 can be forced to move toward the recess 1713 until the top 155 is in the dropped-back position, and in particular, the abutment boss 154 can be forced to move into abutment with the bottom end of the recess 1713. Therefore, the top end of the protrusion 1711 and the bottom end of the recess 1713 can be alternatively abutted with the abutment protrusion 154, so that the top 155 can be more precisely located at the jack-up position or the drop-back position, and correspondingly, the driving water outlet nozzle 130 can be more precisely located at the first position or the second position, so as to ensure the moving precision of the water outlet nozzle 130, and further, the valve core can be better kept in an open or closed state.

In this embodiment, the rotating member 171 is provided with two protrusions 1711 and two recesses 1713, and the protrusions 1711 and the recesses 1713 are arranged in a ring shape at intervals around the rotation axis of the rotating member 171. So that the top of the rotator 171 can be continuously switched between the jack-up position and the drop-back position during rotation.

In this embodiment, the center of the boss 1711 and the perpendicular to the rotational axis of the rotational member 171 are perpendicular to the adjacent recess 1713 and rotational axis of the rotational member 171. Therefore, each time the rotating member rotates by 90 degrees, the top can be switched from the jacking position to the falling position or from the falling position to the jacking position.

In this embodiment, the smooth transition between the protrusions 1711 and the depressions 1713 allows the top to more stably switch between the jack-up position and the drop-back position, thereby allowing the valve core to more smoothly switch between open and closed.

Of course, it will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, after the abutment boss is disengaged from the top end of the boss, the abutment boss 154 may be forced to move toward the recess 1713 to the position where the top 155 is in the dropped-back position, and the abutment boss may also be forced to abut only the opposite side walls of the adjacent two bosses, and not the bottom end of the recess.

In this embodiment, when the rotating member 171 rotates in the preset path, the top end of the protrusion 1711 can be abutted against the top member 150, and the top 155 can be kept at the jacking position, so that the rotating member 171 rotates to any position in the preset path, and the top 155 can be kept at the jacking position, thereby reducing the requirement of rotation precision of the rotating member 171.

Specifically, the top 155 can be maintained in the raised position by providing the top end of the projection 1711 as a flat surface, and by abutting the top 150 against the flat surface. And/or, the surface of the second connection portion 153 of the top member 150 abutting against the tip of the projection 1711 is provided as a flat surface, and the top 155 is held in the jack-up position while the tip of the projection 1711 abuts against the flat surface.

Of course, it will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the projection may also be provided on the surface of the second connection part of the top piece that abuts the rotation piece. The top end of the bulge is abutted with or separated from the rotating piece through the rotation of the rotating piece, and the rotation of the rotating piece can drive the top of the top piece to switch between the jacking position and the falling position. Further, an abutment protruding portion may be disposed on the adaptor, and the abutment protruding portion on the adaptor is abutted to or separated from the top end of the protrusion on the second connecting portion of the top piece through rotation of the rotation piece, so that rotation of the rotation piece drives the top of the top piece to switch between the jacking position and the falling position.

In the present application, the rotating member 171 is directly connected to the output shaft of the motor 173, i.e., the motor 173 directly drives the rotating member 171 to rotate. Of course, it will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, a transmission mechanism may be provided between the motor 173 and the rotating member 171, i.e., the motor 173 drives the rotating member 171 to rotate via the transmission mechanism.

In the present embodiment, the rotation axis of the rotation member 171 is parallel to the moving direction of the water outlet nozzle 130. It should be understood that, in another possible embodiment, the rotation axis of the rotation member 171 and the moving direction of the water nozzle 130 may not be parallel, and the second connection portion 153 of the top member 150 may be driven to move.

In the present embodiment, the surface of the rotation member 171 abutting against the second connection portion 153 of the top member 150 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotation member 171. In other possible embodiments, the surface of the rotating member 171 abutting the second connecting portion 153 of the top member 150 may be parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating member 171, or another regular or irregular surface of the rotating shaft, and the second connecting portion 153 of the top member 150 may be driven to move so that the top 155 may be switched between the jack-up position and the drop-back position.

In this embodiment, the rotating member 171 has a cylindrical shape. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the rotating member 171 is not limited to being cylindrical, but may be any other regular or irregular shape that can be rotated to actuate the movement of the second connecting portion 153 of the top member 150.

In this embodiment, the top 155 is provided with a through hole 1551, and the nozzle 130 is disposed through the through hole 1551. A stopper 135 is provided on the outer sidewall of the spout 130. When the top 155 is switched from the falling position to the jacking position, the top 155 abuts against the limiting member 135 to drive the water outlet nozzle 130 to move from the second position to the first position. I.e., the top 155 drives the water outlet nozzle 130 to move by the stopper 135. The water outlet nozzle 130 is disposed in the through hole 1551, so that the water outlet nozzle 130 can occupy less space outside the chassis 110, thereby reducing the volume of the water outlet seat 100 and meeting the miniaturization requirement of the water outlet seat 100.

In addition, the water outlet nozzle 130 is arranged in the through hole 1551 in a penetrating way, so that the limiting piece 135 is arranged on the outer wall of the water outlet nozzle 130, the top 155 is abutted with the limiting piece 135, and the water outlet nozzle 130 is convenient to move, and the structure is simple.

It will be appreciated that the top member 150 rotates to drive the movement of the spout 130. During rotation of the top member 150, the angle between the depth direction of the through hole 1551 and the moving direction of the water outlet nozzle 130 is continuously changed. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the depth direction of the via 1551 is the extending direction of the inner wall of the via 1551, i.e., the P-P direction shown in fig. 4. When the top 155 of the top 150 is in the falling position, the depth direction of the via 15551 is the same as the moving direction of the tap 130. When the top 155 of the top member 150 is shifted from the falling position to the jacking position, the top member 150 rotates, so that the inner wall of the via 1551 also rotates correspondingly, and thus the depth direction of the via 1551 also rotates correspondingly, while the moving direction of the water nozzle 130 is unchanged, so that the included angle between the depth direction of the via 1551 and the moving direction of the water nozzle 130 changes. Therefore, the angle between the depth direction of the through hole 1551 and the moving direction of the nozzle 130 is continuously changed during the rotation of the top member 150. Further, as the top member 150 rotates, the inner wall of the through hole 1551 also rotates, and the direction of the outer sidewall of the water outlet nozzle 130 is not changed. Therefore, as the top member 150 rotates, the angle between the inner wall of the via 1551 and the outer wall of the nozzle 130 changes. Therefore, a space for the relative change of the inner wall of the via 1551 with respect to the outer wall of the nozzle 130 is required between the nozzle 130 and the inner wall of the via 1551. In other words, there is a space between the tap 130 and the inner wall of the through hole 1551 so that the top 150 can rotate.

In this embodiment, the via 1551 is a kidney-shaped hole. On the one hand, the change of the included angle between the depth direction of the through hole 1551 and the moving direction of the water outlet nozzle 130 can be realized; on the other hand, the strength of the top piece 150 is prevented from being reduced due to the larger through holes 1551; in yet another aspect, the vias 1551 are regular in shape and easy to process. Of course, in other possible embodiments, the via hole is not limited to a kidney-shaped hole, but may be any other regular or irregular shape, and the change of the included angle between the depth direction of the via hole and the moving direction of the water outlet nozzle may be achieved.

In this embodiment, two limiting members 135 are symmetrically disposed on the water outlet nozzle 130, so as to avoid the phenomenon that the water outlet nozzle 130 is inclined due to the single side of the limiting members 135, and also avoid the water outlet nozzle 130 from being damaged easily due to the concentration of stress on the single side. Of course, it is understood that in other possible embodiments, the water outlet nozzle 130 is not limited to two stoppers 135, and one or more than two stoppers 135 may be provided. In addition, in the present embodiment, the stopper 135 has a plate shape, and the direction of the plate is along the radial direction of the water outlet nozzle 130. In other possible embodiments, the shape of the stopper 135 is not limited to a plate shape, but may be any other regular or irregular shape, such as a ring shape, a cylinder shape, or the like.

In this embodiment, the water outlet nozzle 130 is detachably disposed on the chassis 110, so that the water outlet nozzle 130 is convenient to clean and the water outlet nozzle 130 is convenient to replace. In addition, when the water outlet seat is in butt joint with the beverage container, the water outlet valve can be opened, so that liquid in the beverage container can flow into the water outlet nozzle 130 from the water outlet of the beverage container. It will be appreciated that the spout 130 is mounted to the chassis 110 and the spout interfaces with the water outlet of the beverage container. Namely, the two ends of the water outlet nozzle 130 are respectively provided with the underframe 110 and the drink container. Therefore, in order to realize the detachable connection of the water outlet nozzle 130 and the bottom frame 110, the water outlet seat 100 is inevitably detachably connected with the beverage container. Thereby facilitating the cleaning of the beverage container. In addition, in the cleaning process of the beverage container, the water can be prevented from splashing onto the water outlet seat 100 by mistake to influence the operation of the electric driving assembly and the like on the water outlet seat 100, and the water can be prevented from splashing onto the water outlet seat 100 by mistake, so that bacteria can be bred in a wet environment by the underframe 110 and the like of the water outlet seat 100, and the water flowing out of the water outlet seat 100 is ensured to be safer and more sanitary. The liquid in the beverage container can directly flow into the beverage container after flowing out through the water outlet nozzle 130, namely, the whole flow path of the beverage in the beverage container can flow out only through the water outlet nozzle, and the water outlet nozzle is detachable, so that all beverage contacted parts can be cleaned, and the beverage container is safe and sanitary.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the base frame 110 is provided with a beverage container mounting member 111, and the beverage container mounting member 111 is provided with a mounting hole 113 matching the water outlet nozzle 130. The water outlet nozzle 130 is detachably inserted into the mounting hole 113. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the bottom frame 110 and the beverage container mounting member 111 enclose a receiving space, and the top member 150 and the rotating member 171 are disposed in the receiving space to protect the top member 150 and the rotating member 171 from the external environment.

More specifically, in the present embodiment, the stopper 135 is provided with an anti-falling portion 136 to prevent the water outlet nozzle 130 from sliding off the chassis 110. After the water outlet nozzle 130 is inserted through the mounting hole 113, the anti-falling portion 136 is located between the mounting member 111 and the top member 150, and the anti-falling portion 136 is blocked by the mounting member 111 to prevent the water outlet nozzle 130 from falling out. It is understood that when the tap 130 is inserted through the mounting hole 113, the portion of the tap 130 around the drop-preventing portion 136 is slightly deformed, or the inner wall of the mounting hole 113 of the beverage container mounting member 111 is slightly deformed, so that the tap 130 can be inserted through the mounting hole 113. When the water outlet nozzle 130 is pulled out from the mounting hole 113, the part of the water outlet nozzle 130 around the anti-drop part 136 is slightly deformed or the inner wall of the mounting hole 113 of the beverage container mounting piece 111 is slightly deformed, so that the water outlet nozzle 130 can be pulled out from the mounting hole 113, and further the detachable connection between the water outlet nozzle 130 and the bottom frame 110 is realized.

In this embodiment, two opposite outer surfaces of each limiting member 135 are respectively provided with an anti-falling portion 136, and the anti-falling portions 136 are protruding points. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the number and shape of the anti-falling portions 136 on each of the limiting members 135 are not limited thereto, i.e. one or more than two anti-falling portions 136 may be provided on each of the limiting members 135, and the anti-falling portions 136 may also have regular or irregular shapes such as columns.

In this embodiment, the second connection portion 153 of the top member 150 is driven to rotate by the electric driving assembly 170, so that the top portion 155 is switched from the falling position to the jacking position. During the rotation of the second connection portion 153, the top 155 is switched from the jack-up position to the fall-back position by the gravity of the top 150 itself and the pressure exerted on the top 150 by the water spout 130. Of course, in an alternative embodiment, the top member may be switched from the jack-up position to the fall-back position only under the action of gravity during rotation of the second connecting portion.

Additionally, alternatively, in other possible embodiments, the second connection portion of the top piece 150 may also be driven in rotation by an electric drive assembly to switch the top piece between the drop-back position and the jack-up position. The second connection portion of the top piece is driven to reciprocate by the electric driving assembly, so that the top piece is switched between a falling-back position and a jacking position.

In this embodiment, the chassis 110 is provided with a beverage container recognition mechanism 190 for recognizing whether the beverage container is in place. Specifically, the beverage container recognition mechanism 190 includes a movable trigger disposed on the chassis 110 and a first trigger switch disposed on the chassis 110. The trigger piece can be driven to move when the beverage container is installed, and the trigger piece is driven to move to a position for triggering the first trigger switch when the beverage container is installed in place. After the first trigger switch is triggered, the electric driving assembly 170 can operate under the control of the control system, so that the phenomenon that the electric driving assembly 170 starts to operate when the beverage container is not installed or is not installed in place is avoided, the phenomenon that beverage in the beverage container cannot flow out along the drainage channel 131 of the water outlet nozzle 130 after the beverage in the beverage container flows out due to the fact that the beverage container is not installed in place is avoided, and the phenomenon that the electric driving assembly 170 and the like are damaged due to damp caused by the fact that the beverage in the beverage container flows to other positions of the water outlet seat 100 is avoided.

In another possible embodiment, the structure of the beverage container identifying mechanism 190 is not limited to this, and may be an infrared sensor or the like, and may be capable of detecting whether the beverage container is in place.

Alternatively, in another possible embodiment, a reset member is provided on the chassis, so that after the second connection portion of the top member is disengaged from the protrusion, the reset member drives the top member to rotate, so that the top member is switched to the falling position. Specifically, the reset piece can drive the top piece to rotate after the second connecting part of the top piece is completely separated from the bulge, and can drive the top piece to rotate after the second connecting part of the top piece is separated from and abutted with the top end of the bulge.

Alternatively, the return element is connected to the second connecting portion of the top element, so that the top of the top element can be switched and held in the falling-back position by the force of the return element acting on the second connecting portion of the top element. Of course, in other possible embodiments, the reset element may be connected to any position between the first connection portion and the second connection portion of the top element, and the reset force applied to the top element may cause the top element to rotate so as to switch and maintain the top element in the falling position.

Alternatively, in other possible embodiments, the structure of the electric drive assembly is not limited to the above-described structure. For example, in another possible embodiment, the electric driving assembly includes a movable member movably disposed on the chassis and a motor for driving the movable member to move, and the movable member moves to drive the second connecting portion of the top member to move.

Specifically, alternatively, the motor may drive the moving member to reciprocate, and the moving member moves to drive the second connecting portion of the top member to move. In one possible embodiment, for the top 150 shown in fig. 4, the switching between the top jack-up position and the drop-back position may be achieved by driving the moving member to alternately abut against and separate from the second connecting portion of the top in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the top 150. In another possible embodiment, the protrusion and the recess are provided on the moving member, and the moving member is driven to move, so that the top end of the protrusion and the bottom end of the recess are alternately abutted with the second connecting portion of the top member, so as to drive the second connecting portion of the top member to move. Further, alternatively, the projections and depressions are arranged in a direction parallel to the length direction of the top member 150.

As shown in fig. 9 to 25, a beverage machine 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a water outlet seat 100 and a beverage container 210. Wherein, the beverage container 210 is disposed on the water outlet seat 100. The bottom of the beverage container 210 is provided with a water outlet 211 which is in butt joint with the water outlet nozzle 130. A valve core 230 is arranged at the water outlet 211.

When the water outlet nozzle 130 moves from the second position to the first position, the water outlet nozzle 130 drives the valve core 230 to move along the water outlet 211 and point to the inner cavity of the beverage container 210. After the valve core 230 is separated from the driving force of the water outlet nozzle 130, the valve core can automatically move towards the direction extending along the water outlet 211 and away from the inner cavity of the beverage container 210.

Above-mentioned drink machine 200, the second connecting portion activity of driving the top piece through electronic drive assembly 170, and then make out water injection well choke 130 switch between first position and second position to make the case 230 of drink container 210 department be close to or keep away from drink container 210's inner chamber along the direction that delivery port 211 extends remove, and then realize opening or closure of case 230, need not to operate the operation button constantly and also can make drink machine 200 go out water constantly promptly.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the water outlet 130 is driven to move from the first position to the second position during the movement of the water outlet 130 in the direction along the water outlet 211 and away from the inner cavity of the beverage container 210. When the water outlet nozzle 130 is located at the first position, the valve spool 230 is maintained in an open state. When the water outlet nozzle 130 is located at the second position, the valve core 230 maintains an automatic closing state.

Of course, in another possible embodiment, if the valve core 230 is automatically kept in the open state without the action of the water outlet nozzle 130, the valve core 230 is kept in the closed state when the water outlet nozzle 130 is located in the first position. When the water outlet nozzle 130 is located at the second position, the valve core 230 maintains an automatic open state.

In this embodiment, the water outlet nozzle 130 is independently disposed from the valve core 230, and the water outlet nozzle 130 abuts against the valve core 230. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the spout and the valve cartridge may be integrally formed, or the spout may be configured directly by providing the spout with an open and a closed state of the valve cartridge to control whether the liquid in the beverage container 210 flows out.

In this embodiment, the beverage container 210 is detachably connected with the water outlet seat 100, so that the beverage container 210 is convenient to clean, and the beverage container 210 is convenient to replace or overhaul, and the water outlet seat 100 is also convenient to clean and overhaul. Specifically, in the present embodiment, a rotary insert 213 is provided at the bottom of the beverage container 210, and a rotary slot 115 matching the rotary insert 213 is provided on the water outlet 100. The rotary plug 213 and the rotary slot 115 realize the fixed connection of the beverage container 210 and the water outlet 100. When the beverage container 210 is mounted on the water outlet 100, the beverage container 210 is first placed on the water outlet 100, and the rotary insert 213 is located at the open insert end of the rotary slot 115, as shown in fig. 13 and 14; then, the beverage container 210 is rotated such that the rotary insert 213 is inserted into the rotary insert 115, thereby preventing the rotary insert 213 from moving in the vertical direction in fig. 16 by the sidewall of the rotary insert 115, thereby preventing the beverage container 210 from sliding off the water outlet base 100 while preventing the beverage container 210 from being positioned with respect to the water outlet base 100 in the direction of the beverage container 210, see fig. 15 and 16.

Referring to fig. 1, in the present embodiment, the rotation slot 115 is located on the beverage container mount 111 of the base frame 110. Of course, in other possible embodiments, beverage container 210 may be provided on chassis 110 if the chassis is not provided with a beverage container mount alone.

In this embodiment, two rotary inserting portions 213 are provided on the beverage container 210, and two rotary inserting slots 115 are provided on the chassis 110. When the beverage container 210 is mounted on the water outlet 100, the two rotary inserting portions 213 are respectively inserted into the two rotary inserting grooves 115. Of course, it is understood that in other possible embodiments, the beverage container is not limited to two rotary inserts, but may include one or more than two rotary inserts. Correspondingly, the number of the rotary slots is correspondingly set.

The way of detachably connecting the beverage container and the water outlet seat is not limited to this, and the beverage container and the water outlet seat may be connected by clamping, magnetic attraction, or the like.

In the present embodiment, the direction in which the nozzle 130 drives the spool 230 to move is the same in the process of moving the nozzle 130 from the second position to the first position.

It should be noted that, in another possible embodiment, when the water outlet nozzle moves from the second position to the first position, the valve core may be driven to move in the opposite direction, that is, the valve core may be driven to move in a direction along the extending direction of the water outlet and away from the inner cavity of the beverage container. Correspondingly, after the valve core is separated from the driving force of the water outlet nozzle, the valve core can automatically move towards the direction along the extending direction of the water outlet and pointing to the inner cavity of the beverage container. Specifically, when the water outlet nozzle drives the valve core to move, the water outlet nozzle and the valve core move in opposite directions through transmission mechanisms such as gear-rack transmission and the like. For example, in one possible embodiment, the valve cartridge is integrally provided on the outside of the drink container. When the valve is not driven by the water outlet nozzle, the valve core is automatically in sealing fit with the side wall of the water outlet of the beverage container or in sealing fit with the outer surface of the bottom wall of the beverage container, and the fitting position surrounds the water outlet, so that the water outlet of the beverage container is sealed, namely the valve core is closed. When the water outlet nozzle moves from the second position to the first position, the valve core is driven to move along the extending direction of the water outlet and away from the inner cavity of the beverage container, so that the valve core is separated from contact with the beverage container, and fluid in the beverage container can flow out through the water outlet, namely, the valve core is opened.

As shown in fig. 9, 18 and 19, drink container 210 includes a cup 212 and a lid 214 that mates with cup 212 in this embodiment. Specifically, lid 214 includes lid body 310 and stopper 330. The cover body 310 has a cover surface 311. The stopper 330 is in sealing engagement with the cover surface 311 of the cover body 310, and extends along a part of the edge of the cover surface 311. The baffle 330 and the cover surface 311 enclose a flow interception groove 320.

It can be appreciated that the lid surface 311 of the lid body 310 refers to a surface of the lid body 310 exposed to the cavity of the cup 212, i.e., a surface of the lid body 310 on a side close to the cavity of the cup 212 after the lid cover 214 is closed to the cup 212.

When lid 214 is removed from cup 212, the side of lid 214 opposite stopper 330 may be raised first so that liquid that condenses on lid surface 311 flows toward the edge of lid surface 311 as lid body 310 is tilted, may be blocked by stopper 330 to become trapped within shut-off groove 320, thereby preventing liquid from flowing out of cup 212.

In addition, stopper 330 extends along the edge of lid-engaging surface 311 such that the areas of lid-engaging surface 311 not covered by stopper 330 are all located inside stopper 330, thereby allowing any liquid that may condense on lid-engaging surface 311 to be blocked by stopper 330 for interception within the interception groove when lid 214 is removed from cup 212.

Moreover, if the temperature of the liquid contained in the cup 212 is high, the liquid condensed on the cover surface 311 is prevented from flowing out of the cup 212, so that the liquid with high temperature can be prevented from flowing out of the cup 212 to scald people, livestock, plants, and the like near. If the liquid contained in the cup 212 has corrosiveness or toxicity, the liquid condensed on the cover surface 311 is prevented from flowing out of the cup 212, so that the corrosive or toxic liquid is prevented from flowing out of the cup 212 to pollute the environment, the corrosive liquid is prevented from flowing out of the cup 212 to corrode surrounding objects, and the toxic liquid is prevented from flowing out of the cup 212 to cause poisoning due to incorrect contact of people and livestock.

It will be appreciated that the stopper 330 sealingly engages the engagement surface 311 of the cap body 310 to prevent liquid that has condensed on the engagement surface 311 from flowing between the stopper 330 and the cap body 310 to a location outside of the cup 212. In addition, it can be understood that the blocking member 330 is in sealing engagement with the covering surface 311 of the cover body 310, so that the blocking member 330 is protruding on the covering surface 311 of the cover body 310, so that the liquid condensed on the covering surface 311 can be blocked by the blocking member 330.

In this embodiment, the stopper 330 has a stopper surface 331 located on the inner side. In other words, the blocking surface 331 of the blocking member 330 is a surface of the blocking member 330 surrounding the intercepting slot 320. The liquid condensed on the cover surface 311 flows to the baffle surface 331 of the baffle 330 and is blocked.

In this embodiment, the cover body 310 and the stopper 330 are integrally formed. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the cover body 310 and the stopper 330 may be provided separately. The stopper 330 may be sealed and attached to the cover surface 311 of the cover body 310 during assembly.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the cover body 310 and the stopper 330 are made of the same material. Alternatively, the cover body 310 may be a metal cover body such as a stainless steel cover body, or a plastic cover body such as a polypropylene cover body, a polycarbonate cover body, or a polyethylene plastic cover body. Accordingly, the stopper 330 is formed using the same material as the cap body 310, so that the cap body 310 and the stopper 330 can be integrally formed. It will be appreciated that the cap body 310 and the stopper 330 are formed of a plastic material, which is inexpensive and easy to mold.

It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the cover body and the stopper may be made of different materials, so as to ensure that the stopper is in sealing engagement with the cover body.

Optionally, when the cover body 310 and the stopper 330 are made of different materials, the cover body 310 is adhesively connected to the stopper 330, or a sealing gasket is provided between the cover body 310 and the stopper 330, so as to ensure that the cover surface 311 of the cover body 310 is in sealing fit with the stopper 330.

In this embodiment, the blocking member 330 and the covering surface 311 enclose a flow interception groove 320. The flow interception groove 320 is partially disposed around the edge of the cover surface 311 so that the liquid caught by the flow interception groove 320 can be discharged from the end of the flow interception groove 320 by rotating the cap 214. In a specific operation, the end of the intercepting groove 320 is controlled to be positioned at the opening of the cup 212 according to the position of the end of the intercepting groove 320, so as to discharge the liquid in the intercepting groove 320.

In this embodiment, the blocking surface 331 is gradually inclined away from the cover surface 311 from the edge of the blocking surface 331 combined with the cover surface 311 to the free edge of the blocking surface 331. Therefore, after cap 214 is covered on cup 212, baffle 331 is inclined toward the inner cavity of cup 212, so that the liquid in flow interception groove 320 can flow into cup 212 easily.

In this embodiment, the projection of the stopper 330 onto the covering surface 311 includes a first edge 332 overlapping with a quarter edge of the covering surface 311 and a second edge 334 located in an inner region of the covering surface 311. The second edge 334 is at least partially bent in the direction of the first edge 332. It will be appreciated that the catch 330 has an outer surface 333 disposed opposite the catch face 331. The second edge 334 is at least partially bent in the direction of the first edge 332, so that the area of the outer surface 333 is smaller, and thus less liquid is condensed on the stopper 330, and liquid is prevented from flowing out of the cup 212 due to more liquid condensing on the outer surface 333. And, the second edge 334 is at least partially bent towards the first edge 332, so that the baffle 330 has a smaller volume and saves materials.

In this embodiment, side of lid 214 has a first mounting structure 313 for rotational connection with cup 212. The stopper 330 is located on the same side of the covering surface 311 as the first mounting structure 313. Therefore, upon opening lid 214, stopper 330 naturally follows first mounting structure 313 in a lower position, thereby allowing liquid that has coalesced on lid surface 311 to flow toward stopper 330 and be blocked by stopper 330 into the drip chamber. Therefore, by rotationally coupling lid 214 with cup 212, liquid that has condensed on lid surface 311 due to a misorientation of lid 214 when lid 214 is opened is prevented from flowing out of cup 212.

In this embodiment, the stop 330 extends along a quarter of the edge of the cover surface 311. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the stop may also extend along one fifth, one quarter, one third, one half, two thirds and three quarters of the edges of the cover surface. The longer the baffle piece extends along the edge of the cover surface, the longer the baffle piece and the cut-off groove enclosed by the cover surface extend, so that the tiltable direction range of the cup cover is increased, and the operation of the cup cover is facilitated. Preferably, the ratio of the extension length of the stopper 330 to the extension length of the edge of the covering surface 311 is any ratio between one fifth and one half.

Furthermore, in a possible embodiment, the stop may also be arranged around the covering surface. Therefore, when the cup cover is opened from the cup body 212, the cup cover can incline towards any direction, and the liquid condensed on the covering surface can be blocked into the intercepting groove by the blocking piece.

In this embodiment, the orientation of tilt when lid 214 is opened is ensured by the location of the connection of lid 214 to cup 212. In other possible embodiments, the tilting direction of the cap may be ensured in other ways. For example, in one possible embodiment, the cover body has a back surface opposite the cover surface. The back of the cover body is provided with a handle, and the extending direction of the handle points to the baffle. According to the operational habit of most people opening the cup lid from the cup 212 through the handle, the cup lid is inclined downward in the direction of the handle, so that the liquid condensed on the covering surface can flow in the direction of the directing block. For another example, in one possible embodiment, the cover body has a back surface opposite the cover surface. The back is provided with a position mark for marking the position of the baffle. Therefore, when the cup cover is opened from the cup body 212, the position of the baffle can be accurately judged according to the position mark, so that the inclination direction of the cup cover can be accurately judged, and further, liquid condensed on the covering surface can flow in the direction pointing to the baffle. Of course, in other possible embodiments, the manner of ensuring the tilting direction when the cup cover is opened is not limited thereto, and may be implemented by providing a perspective window or the like.

In this embodiment, lid 214 is rotatable relative to cup 212 to switch between a lid position and a first open position.

Specifically, in this embodiment, cup 212 is provided with a first stop portion 370, and cap 214 is provided with a second stop portion 2121 and a third stop portion 2123 that match first stop portion 370. When lid 214 rotates to the closed position, first limiting portion 370 and second limiting portion 2121 limit each other, so that lid 214 is kept in the closed position, and liquid in cup 212 is prevented from splashing or being polluted by the external environment. When the cup cover 214 rotates to the first opened state, the first limiting part 370 and the third limiting part 2123 limit each other, so that the cup cover 214 is kept in the first opened state, and the operations of cleaning the inner cavity of the cup 212 or adding articles such as tea leaves and the like in the inner cavity of the net cup 212 are conveniently performed.

Further, in this embodiment, first limiting portion 370 is an insert provided on cup 212, second limiting portion 2121 is a limiting end surface provided on lid 214, and third limiting portion 2123 is a slot provided on lid 214. In this embodiment, the extending direction of the third limiting portion 2123 is parallel to the second limiting portion 2121. The first stopper 370 is connected to the cup 212 via an elastic member. When the cup cover 214 rotates to the point that the first limiting part 370 is abutted against the second limiting part 2121, the first limiting part 370 keeps abutted against the second limiting part 2121 under the action of the elastic piece, and the first limiting part 370 is prevented from moving in the direction perpendicular to the second limiting part 2121 and pointing to the first limiting part 370, so that the cup cover 214 is kept in a covered state. It is to be appreciated that when lid 214 is in the closed position, lid 214 is closed with cup 212. Cup cover 214 is limited by cup 212 to limit rotation of cup cover 214 to continue rotation in a direction toward cup 212; cup cover 214 is restrained by second restraining portion 2121 to restrain rotation of cup cover 214 in a direction away from cup 212. Thereby maintaining lid 214 in the lid position.

When the cup cover 214 starts to rotate from the covering state, the elastic force of the elastic piece connected with the first limiting portion 370 is overcome, so that the first limiting portion 370 moves to be separated from the abutting connection with the second limiting portion 2121 along the direction parallel to the second limiting portion 2121, and continues to rotate until the first limiting portion 370 is inserted into the third limiting portion 2123, and the first limiting portion 370 keeps being inserted into the third limiting portion 2123 under the action of the elastic piece, so that the cup cover 214 is kept in the opening state. Similarly, when lid 214 begins to rotate from the first open state, the elastic force of the elastic member connected to first limit portion 370 is overcome, so that first limit portion 370 slides out of third limit portion 2123, and first limit portion 370 and second limit portion 2121 are continuously rotated to abut against each other, so that lid 214 is kept in the closed state.

In this embodiment, second stop 2121 and third stop 2123 of cap 214 are both disposed on first mounting structure 313. The second stopper 2121 is an outer surface of the first mounting structure 313. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the second stop 2121 and the third stop 2123 may be provided to the cap at locations other than the mounting structure.

In this embodiment, cup 212 includes a second mounting structure 2122 that mates with first mounting structure 313. The first limiting portion 370 is disposed on the second mounting structure 2122.

Further optionally, a cup for holding liquid on the cup 212 is removably coupled to the second mounting structure 2122. Therefore, when the beverage container is mounted on a beverage machine or other equipment, the cup body can be detached only to perform operations such as cleaning. I.e., during this process, only the cup body may be removed without removing the second mounting structure 2122.

The second limiting portion 2121 is a limiting end surface arranged on the cup cover 214, so that operations such as grooving on the cup cover are not needed, and the process is simple. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the second stop 2121 may also be a slot.

Optionally, lid 214 rotates at an angle of 60 ° or 75 ° when switching between the lid state and the first open state.

In other embodiments of the present application, a fourth limiting portion is further disposed on the second mounting structure 2122, and the fourth limiting portion is configured to match the third limiting portion 2123, and the specific structure of the fourth limiting portion is the same as that of the first limiting portion 370. When the fourth limiting part and the third limiting part are mutually limited, the cup cover is in a second opening state. The fourth limiting portion and the first limiting portion 370 are distributed at different positions of the second mounting structure 2122, so that the opening degree of the cup cover when the fourth limiting portion and the third limiting portion limit each other is different from the opening degree of the cup cover when the first limiting portion and the third limiting portion limit each other, that is, the angle required to rotate the cup cover from the closed state to the first opening state is different from the angle required to rotate the cup cover from the closed state to the second opening state, so as to meet the requirement of opening the cup cover 214 to different positions. For example, the lid rotates from the closed state to the second open state by an angle of 60 °; the rotation angle of the cup cover is 75 degrees in the process that the cup cover rotates from the covering state to the first opening state.

In this embodiment, first mounting structure 313 of lid 214 is provided with a spindle 3131 and second mounting structure 2122 is provided with a spindle-mating spindle rotation hole 2124, thereby enabling rotation of lid 214 relative to cup 212.

In this embodiment, referring to fig. 24 and 25, a cap body water outlet nozzle 350 is provided on the cap body 310. The beverage machine 200 further includes a connection tube 240 and an electromagnetic valve 2301, the electromagnetic valve 2301 having a water outlet 251. One end of the connection pipe 240 is abutted with the cover body water outlet nozzle 350, and the other end is abutted with the water outlet 251 of the electromagnetic valve 2301. Lid body spout 350 is disposed on lid body 310 and lid 214 is removed from cup 212 such that when lid 214 is in the first open position relative to cup 212, lid 214 must be rotated, thereby causing movement, rotation or deformation of connecting tube 240 connected to lid body spout 350. If movement or rotation of connecting tube 240 is used to match movement of cap 214, the structure of connecting tube 240 or solenoid 2301 interfacing with connecting tube 240 may be complicated. If the movement of lid 214 is coordinated by the deformation of connecting tube 240, connecting tube 240 may be damaged by the deformation. In this embodiment, the connecting tube 240 is a flexible tube, and the flexible tube has a certain flexibility, so that the flexible tube is elastically deformed when the cup cover 214 moves, thereby avoiding the flexible tube from being damaged due to deformation, and not affecting the water storage path of the cup 212 due to the movement of the cup cover 214.

Further, referring to fig. 23, in the present embodiment, the beverage container 210 is provided with a through hole 315 through which the connection tube 240 passes. That is, the connecting pipe 240 is inserted into the through hole 315, so that the space outside the beverage container 210 is not occupied, and the beverage container 210 has a simple and neat appearance. Note that only portions of the through holes 315 corresponding to the cover body 310 and the first mounting structure 313 are shown in fig. 23. It will be appreciated that perforations 315 also extend through the housing assembly of beverage appliance 200 to the location of water outlet 251 of solenoid valve 2301.

In this embodiment, the beverage maker 200 further includes a control system, a trigger 260, and a second trigger switch 270 connected to the control system. When the cup cover 214 is covered with the cup 212, the triggering part 260 triggers the second triggering switch 270, and the control system can at least control the water outlet nozzle 350 of the cover body to outlet water. Specifically, the control system may control the waterway connected to the lid body spout 350, for example, the water outlet 251 of the solenoid valve 2301 may be used to discharge water, and the lid body spout 350 of the cup assembly 210 may be used to discharge water to store water for the cup 212. Optionally, control system may also control the outflow of liquid from the bottom of cup 212 to a container below cup 212 when lid 214 is closed to cup 212. Illustratively, when lid 214 is closed with cup 212, if the control system does not receive instructions such as tea making (e.g., does not receive instructions to make tea), the control system controls lid body spout 350 to not discharge water; if the control system receives a tea making instruction or an instruction that water is still needed after the tea making is interrupted, the control system controls the water outlet nozzle 350 of the cover body to output water. When the cup cover 214 and the cup 212 are opened, the triggering part 260 cannot trigger the second triggering switch 270, the control system at least controls the water outlet nozzle 350 of the cover body to be incapable of discharging water, specifically, the control system at least controls the water path connected with the water outlet nozzle 350 of the cover body to be incapable of running, at this time, even if the control system receives a tea making instruction or determines that the tea making state is adopted, the water outlet nozzle 350 of the cover body cannot discharge water, thereby avoiding damage to a user and damage to a machine caused by liquid sprayed by the water outlet nozzle 350 of the cover body. In other words, trigger 260 and second trigger 270 are configured such that lid body spout 350 of drink machine 200 only provides water when lid 214 is closed to cup 212, i.e., the waterway associated with lid body spout 350 only works when lid 214 is closed to cup 212. When lid 214 and cup 212 are opened, trigger 260 can not trigger second trigger 270, and the control system can also control the bottom of cup 212 to flow no liquid into the container below cup 212, so that the user can add food to cup 212.

Specifically, in this embodiment, trigger 260 is a magnetic member disposed on lid 214, and second trigger switch 270 is a reed switch disposed on cup 212. Trigger 260 is moved by opening or closing lid 214 such that trigger 260 is either closer to or farther from second trigger switch 270, thereby triggering second trigger switch 270 when trigger 260 is closer to second trigger switch 270, and second trigger switch 270 is not triggered when trigger 260 is farther from second trigger switch 270.

As shown in fig. 26, in the cup cover 400 of the drink machine according to another embodiment of the present invention, unlike the cup cover 214, the cover surface 311 of the cover body 310 is provided with a plurality of drainage structures, and the drainage directions of the drainage structures are all directed to the interception groove 320. The drainage structure can guide the liquid condensed on the covering surface 311 to flow towards the direction of the flow interception groove 320, so that the phenomenon that part of liquid flows out of the cup body 212 when the inclination direction of the cup cover 400 has deviation is effectively avoided. And the drainage structure can also increase the flow speed of the liquid condensed on the covering surface 311, so that the liquid condensed on the covering surface 311 can flow into the intercepting groove 320 more quickly.

In this embodiment, the drainage structure includes a plurality of drainage grooves 312 disposed on the covering surface 311 of the cover body 310. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the drainage groove 312 extends along a straight line, so that the liquid condensed on the covering surface 311 can flow along the drainage groove 312 into the intercepting groove 320 more quickly. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the lines of extension of the drainage grooves are not limited to straight lines, but may extend along lines of regular or irregular shape, such as curves or fold lines, and that adjacent drainage grooves may also be arranged in intersection.

As shown in fig. 27, in a cup cover 500 of a beverage machine according to another embodiment of the present invention, unlike a cup cover 214, a groove 317 is provided on a cover surface 311 of a cover body 310, and the groove 317 is located in a region of the cover surface 311 surrounding a intercepting groove 320. The space of the groove 317 may also be a part of the intercepting groove 320, thereby increasing the volume of the intercepting groove 320. Therefore, when more condensed liquid is on the covering surface 311, the groove 317 can prevent the liquid flowing to the intercepting groove 320 from flowing out of the cup 212 across the stopper 330 due to the more condensed liquid.

As shown in fig. 28 and 29, another embodiment of the present invention provides a beverage container of a beverage machine, which is different from the beverage container 210 in that the limit structure of the cup cover in the closed state or the first opened state is different.

Specifically, a first limiting part 370 is arranged on the cup cover, and a second limiting part 2121 and a third limiting part 2123 matched with the first limiting part 370 are arranged on the cup body. When the cup cover rotates to a covering state, the first limiting part 370 and the second limiting part 2121 limit each other, so that the cup cover is kept in the covering state, and further liquid in the cup body is prevented from splashing or being polluted due to the influence of external environment. When the cup cover rotates to the first opening state, the first limiting part 370 and the third limiting part 2123 limit each other, so that the cup cover is kept in the first opening state, and the operations such as cleaning the inner cavity of the cup body are conveniently performed.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the first limiting portion 370 is a slot formed in the cup cover, the second limiting portion 2121 and the third limiting portion 2123 are all inserts formed in the cup body, and the second limiting portion 2121 and the third limiting portion 2123 are all connected to the cup body through elastic members. When the cup cover rotates until the second limiting part 2121 is inserted into the first limiting part 370, the second limiting part 2121 keeps the state of being inserted into the first limiting part 370 under the action of the corresponding elastic piece, so that the cup cover is kept in the covering state. When the cup cover starts to rotate from the covering state, the elastic force of the elastic piece corresponding to the second limiting part 2121 is overcome, so that the second limiting part 2121 slides out of the first limiting part 370. The cup cover continues to rotate until the third limiting part 2123 is inserted into the first limiting part 370, and the third limiting part 2123 keeps the state of being inserted into the first limiting part 370 under the action of the corresponding elastic piece, so that the cup cover is kept in the opened state. Similarly, when the cup cover starts to rotate from the first opened state, the elastic force of the elastic piece corresponding to the third limit portion 2123 is overcome, so that the third limit portion 2123 slides out of the first limit portion 370, and the cup cover can continue to rotate to switch from the first opened state to the closed state.

In this embodiment, first stopper 370 of lid 214 is disposed on first mounting structure 313. It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the first stop 370 may be provided on the cap at a location other than the mounting structure.

In this embodiment, cup 212 includes a second mounting structure 2122 that mates with first mounting structure 313. The second limiting portion 2121 and the third limiting portion 2123 are both disposed on the second mounting structure 2122.

Further optionally, a cup for holding liquid on the cup 212 is removably coupled to the second mounting structure 2122. Therefore, the cup body can be detached from the drink machine only to perform operations such as cleaning and the like. I.e., during this process, only the cup body may be removed without removing the second mounting structure 2122 for disassembly.

In other embodiments of the present application, the second mounting structure 2122 further includes a fourth limiting portion, which is configured to mate with the first limiting portion 370, and the specific structure of the fourth limiting portion is the same as the second limiting portion 2121 and the third limiting portion 2123. When the fourth limiting part and the first limiting part are mutually limited, the cup cover is in a second opening state. The fourth limiting portion and the third limiting portion 2123 are distributed at different positions of the second mounting structure 2122, so that the opening degree of the cup cover when the fourth limiting portion and the first limiting portion are limited by each other is different from the opening degree of the cup cover when the third limiting portion and the first limiting portion are limited by each other, that is, the angle required to rotate the cup cover from the covering state to the first opening state is different from the angle required to rotate the cup cover from the covering state to the second opening state, and the requirement of the cup cover on opening to different positions is met. For example, the lid rotates from the closed state to the second open state by an angle of 60 °; the rotation angle of the cup cover is 75 degrees in the process that the cup cover rotates from the covering state to the first opening state.

Of course, in another possible embodiment, the structures of the first limiting portion, the second limiting portion and the third limiting portion are not limited to this, so that the cup cover can rotate relative to the cup body, and can be kept in the closed state when rotating to the closed state, and can be kept in the first open state when rotating to the first open state.

In addition, in another possible embodiment, the first limiting portion may be disposed on the cup body, and the second limiting portion matched with the first limiting portion and the third limiting portion matched with the first limiting portion may be disposed on the cup cover. The first limiting part and the second limiting part are mutually limited, so that the cup cover is kept in a covering state; the first limiting part and the third limiting part are mutually limited, so that the cup cover is kept in a first opening state. The setting of the first limiting portion, the second limiting portion, and the third limiting portion may refer to the setting of the corresponding structure in the beverage container 210, which is not described herein.

The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined, and all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described for brevity of description, however, as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features, they should be considered as the scope of the description. The above examples illustrate only a few embodiments of the invention, which are described in detail and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, which are all within the scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of protection of the present invention is to be determined by the appended claims.
