The beverage machine has rich functions and good use experience of users. In addition, since the refrigeration outlets of the refrigeration module 100 can be connected to the ice making module 200 and the bubble water module 300, respectively, the ice making module 200 and the bubble water module 300 can make ice or bubble water by using the cold water in the refrigeration module 100, thereby improving the utilization rate of the cold water in the refrigeration module 100. The power consumption of the ice making module 200 is reduced, and the size of the ice making module 200 is reduced.

A compressor, a condenser, a heat dissipation fan, and the like may be disposed in the compressor assembly 400. The arrangement of the components within the compressor package 400 will be described in greater detail below. The operation of the compressor assembly 400 is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail.

The refrigeration module 100 may include a cold bladder 110 and a first evaporator assembly 120, as shown in fig. 2. The first evaporator assembly 120 may be disposed around the cold bladder 110. The cold bladder 110 may be a water storage container of any configuration. The cold bladder 110 can store cold water from the water inlet end 11. The first evaporator assembly 120 may include an evaporator and an expansion valve. After the refrigerant enters the evaporator through the expansion valve, the evaporator can absorb heat in the cooling bladder 110, thereby reducing the temperature of the water in the cooling bladder 110. The refrigerant discharged from the evaporator may flow back to the compressor in the compressor assembly 400, thereby being circulated.

The ice making module 200 may include an ice making device 210 and a second evaporator assembly 250, as shown in fig. 3. The second evaporator assembly 250 may be disposed around the ice making device 210. The ice-making device 210 may store water to be made into ice. The water may be cold water from the refrigeration module 100. The second evaporator assembly 250 can be substantially identical to the first evaporator assembly 120 and will not be described in detail. The second evaporator assembly 250 may absorb heat of the ice making device 210, thereby making cold water in the ice making device 210 into ice.

First evaporator assembly 120 and second evaporator assembly 250 may each be coupled to a compressor assembly 400. That is, the compressor assembly 400 may provide the first evaporator assembly 120 and the second evaporator assembly 250 with the refrigerant, so that heat in the refrigeration module 100 and the ice making module 200 is taken away by one compressor assembly 400. Therefore, the size of the beverage machine can be reduced, and the integration level of the beverage machine is improved.

Illustratively, the first evaporator assembly 120 includes a first inlet and a first outlet. The second evaporator assembly 250 includes a second inlet and a second outlet. In some embodiments, the first evaporator assembly 120 and the second evaporator assembly 250 can have respective evaporators and expansion valves. The compressor package 400 may include a compressor 410, a condenser 420, and a reversing valve 430. The directional valve 430 may have a first passage and a second passage that are alternatively conductive. The first outlet of the first evaporator assembly 120 and the second outlet of the second evaporator assembly 250 may both be connected to an inlet of the compressor 410. An outlet of the compressor 410 may be connected to an inlet of the condenser 420. The outlet of the condenser 420 may be connected to a first inlet of the first evaporator assembly 120 through a first passage and to a second inlet of the second evaporator assembly 250 through a second passage. That is, the compressed refrigerant in the condenser 420 may enter the first evaporator unit 120 or the second evaporator unit 250 through the direction change valve 430. The switching of the direction valve 430 between the first and second passages may be manually performed by a human or may be automatically controlled. In some embodiments, the refrigerant line of the compressor assembly 400 may be commonly connected to the refrigerant line of the refrigeration module 100. That is, in daily use, the refrigeration module 100 can store chilled water for a long period of time. When ice making is required, the reversing valve 430 reverses to connect the refrigerant pipeline in the compressor assembly 400 with the refrigerant pipeline in the ice making module 200. In this way, the compressor assembly 400 can cool the refrigeration module 100 and the ice-making module 200, respectively. Compare all to be provided with the compressor assembly in refrigeration module 100 and the system ice module 200, can reduce the size of drink machine, reduce the whole operating power of compressor assembly 400, improve the integrated level of drink machine.

Illustratively, the beverage machine may further include a defrost line 500. The defrost line 500 may be connected between the outlet of the compressor 410 and a second inlet of the second evaporator assembly 250. A defrosting solenoid valve 510 may be disposed on the defrosting pipe 500. During the use of the ice making module 200, since the temperature of the second evaporator assembly 250 is low, frost is formed on the second evaporator assembly 250. The formation of frost on the second evaporator assembly 250 has an effect on the ice making effect. The beverage maker with the defrosting pipeline 500 can melt the frost on the second evaporator assembly 250, so as to improve the ice making efficiency of the ice making module 200 and prolong the service life of the ice making module 200. The operation principle of disposing the defrosting pipe 500 between the compressor assembly 400 and the ice making module 200 is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail.

In addition, in some embodiments, the defrosting pipe 500 may further enable the second evaporator assembly 250 to generate heat to be provided to the ice making device 210, and when a user wants to detach the ice in the ice making device 210, the surface of the ice cubes may be melted, so that the ice cubes may be detached from the ice making device 210, and the user may use the ice cubes conveniently.

For example, the ice making module 200 may include an ice making device 210, a water storage container 220, and a first water pump 240. The water inlet of the water storage container 220 may be connected to the ice making inlet. The water outlet of the water storage container 220 may be connected to the water inlet of the ice making device 210 by a first water pump 240. An ice outlet of the ice making device 210 may be connected to the ice taking end 13. In the embodiment of the invention, the water storage container 220 may be used for storing cold water generated by the refrigeration module 100. In making ice, the first water pump 240 may pump water in the water storage container 220 into the ice making device 210 to make ice from the water in the ice making device 210. In some embodiments, the water reservoir 220 may include any water-storable container. The first water pump 240 includes any water pump that can be used to pump water, such as a vane pump, a gear pump, a diaphragm pump, or the like. By providing the water storage container 220, it is possible to prevent the ice-making module 200 and the refrigeration module 100 from being communicated with each other for a long period of time, thereby preventing heat between the refrigeration module 100 and the ice-making module 200 from being transmitted to each other for a long period of time, and reducing energy loss caused between the refrigeration module 100 and the ice-making module 200.

In some embodiments, a float switch may be disposed in the water storage container 220. The float ball in the float switch may change state according to the height of the liquid level in the water reservoir 220. When the liquid level in the water reservoir 220 reaches a predetermined level, the float switch may send a corresponding electrical signal, and the valve connected to the pipe between the refrigeration module 100 and the ice-making module 200 may be closed, thereby stopping the water from being stored in the water reservoir 220 in the ice-making module 200 by the refrigeration module 100. Of course, in other embodiments, the float switch may also directly turn on and off the water inlet of the water storage container 220 according to the height of the liquid level in the water storage container 220, so as to control the height of the liquid level in the water storage container 220. In other embodiments, a liquid level sensor may be further disposed in the water storage container 220, and a valve on a pipeline between the refrigeration module 100 and the ice making module 200 may be controlled according to an electrical signal sent by the liquid level sensor.

For example, the ice making module 200 may be disposed above the water storage container 220. The ice-making module 200 may further include an ice storage container 230. The ice storage container 230 may be disposed between the ice-making device 210 and the water storage container 220. The top surface of the ice storage container 230 may be provided with an opening. The bottom surface of the ice storage container 230 may be provided with a drainage port connected to the water storage container 220. The ice storage container 230 may be movable between an ice receiving position and an ice fetching position. The opening may be connected to the ice outlet when the ice storage container 230 is located at the ice receiving position. The ice storage container 230 may be opened to be connected to the ice taking end 13 when it is located at the ice taking position.

In some embodiments, the ice storage container 230 may have a box shape, and may be drawn out in the beverage maker. When the ice storage container 230 is pushed into the drink maker, the ice storage container 230 may be in an ice receiving position. At the ice receiving position, the ice made by the ice making device 210 may enter the ice storage container 230 through the opening. The ice made by the ice-making device 210 is introduced into the ice storage container 230 in various ways. The ice making device 210 may be turned over to drop the ice in the ice making device 210 into the ice storage container 230, or the ice in the ice making device 210 may be pushed out by some mechanical device, such as a push shovel or a push plate, until the ice drops into the ice storage container 230. When the ice storage container 230 is withdrawn, the ice storage container 230 may be located at an ice-taking position. At this time, the opening of the top surface of the ice storage container 230 may be exposed to the outside of the drink maker, so that the user can take ice from the ice storage container 230 at the ice taking end 13.

In some embodiments, the draining port disposed on the bottom surface of the ice storage container 230 may allow ice water generated after the ice in the ice storage container 230 is melted to flow back into the water storage container 220, so that the ice water after the ice is melted may be recycled. In some embodiments, the draining ports may be uniformly arranged on the bottom surface of the ice storage container 230, so that the melted ice water in the ice storage container 230 can be conveniently flowed into the water storage container 220. However, when the ice storage container 230 is in the ice-fetching position, the melted ice water may flow to the outside of the drink maker, which may affect the user experience. In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the ice storage container 230 may be inclined downward from the front to the rear of the beverage maker, and the drainage port is provided at the rear of the ice storage container 230, and when the ice storage container 230 is withdrawn, the ice storage container 230 may not be completely withdrawn from the beverage maker but connected to the beverage maker at the rear of the ice storage container 230. In this way, even if the ice storage container 230 is moved to the ice taking position, the ice water flowing out of the draining port can flow into the water storage container 220, and the melted ice water is prevented from flowing out of the beverage maker.

Illustratively, the beverage maker may also include a drain end 14. A drain may be provided at a predetermined height of the water storage container 220 above the bottom surface thereof. The drain port may be connected to the drain end 14. After the ice in the ice storage container 230 melts and the ice water falls into the water storage container 220, the liquid level in the water storage container 220 will rise, and the water outlet can discharge the excess water in the water storage container 220, so as to avoid the overflow of the water in the water storage container 220 and influence the use experience of the user.

Illustratively, the bubble water module 300 may include a bubble water storage container 310, a pressure cylinder 320, and an air inlet valve 330, as shown in fig. 4. The bubble water storage container 310 may include a water inlet, a water outlet, and a gas inlet. The water inlet of the bubble water storage container 310 may be connected to the bubble water inlet. The outlet of the bubble water storage container 310 may be connected to the bubble water outlet. The air inlet valve 330 may be connected to a line between an air inlet of the bubble water storage container 310 and the pressure cylinder 320. The bubble water storage tank 310 may be used to store cold water from the storage refrigeration module 100. The pressure cylinder 320 may comprise a carbon dioxide cylinder. When bubble water is produced, cold water in the refrigeration module 100 may be discharged into the bubble water storage container 310, the air inlet valve 330 is opened, and carbon dioxide in the pressure gas cylinder 320 is filled into the water in the bubble water storage container 310, thereby forming bubble water. After the bubble water is produced, the air inlet valve 330 is closed, and the user can take the bubble water in the bubble water storage container 310 from the water taking end 12. It should be noted that, in the embodiment shown in the figure, the water inlet and the water outlet of the bubble water storage container 310 may be the same water inlet.

With the bubble water module 300, the cold water in the refrigeration module 100 can be used to produce bubble water. Compared with the device which can refrigerate arranged in the bubble water module 300, the size of the bubble water module 300 can be reduced, and the integration level of the beverage machine is improved.

Illustratively, in embodiments where the beverage machine includes a drain end 14, the bubble water reservoir 310 may also include a vent. A first line may be provided between the exhaust port and the drain end 14, and a purge valve 340 may be provided on the first line. The air release valve 340 is used for releasing the pressure in the bubble water storage container 310 after the bubble water is made, so as to connect the bubble water storage container 310 with the atmosphere. Therefore, when a user receives bubble water, the bubble water can be prevented from being sprayed out from the water outlet of the bubble water storage container 310 due to the fact that the pressure in the bubble water storage container 310 is too high. In addition, when the bubble water is not produced, the pressure in the bubble water storage container 310 can be communicated with the atmosphere, so that the bubble water storage container is prevented from being in a high-pressure state for a long time, and the safety is high. In some embodiments, the purge valve 340 and the intake valve 330 may be coupled such that the purge valve 340 is open when the intake valve 330 is closed. When the intake valve 330 is open, the purge valve 340 is closed.

For example, a second line may be provided between the exhaust port and the drain end 14, and a pressure relief valve may be provided on the second line. The pressure relief valve has the function of discharging the pressure higher than the pressure born by the bubble water storage container 310 when the pressure in the bubble water storage container 310 reaches the preset pressure, so that danger is avoided.

Illustratively, a second water pump 360 may also be provided in the line between the bubble water outlet and the water intake end 12. The second water pump 360 is used for conveniently discharging the bubble water in the bubble water storage container 310 for the user to take. The second water pump 360 and the first water pump 240 may be substantially the same, and are not described again.

In some embodiments, a level sensor may also be disposed within the bubble water storage container 310 to control the amount of water entering the bubble water storage container 310.

Illustratively, the beverage maker may further include a heating module 600, as shown in fig. 6. The heating module 600 may have a heating inlet and a heating outlet.
