The cabinet 800 may be provided as a rectangular receiving structure, and one side of the rectangular may be provided as a cabinet door 810. One side of the cabinet door 810 is provided with a door shaft which is hinged with the rest of the cabinet body 800, so that the cabinet door 810 can be opened from the cabinet body 800 around the door shaft. After the cabinet door 810 is opened, each module contained in the cabinet body 800 is exposed, and maintenance personnel can perform maintenance, replenishment and other operations on the double-specification automatic drink machine 10. In daily operation, the cabinet door 810 can be locked by using a lock catch, so that other people can be prevented from damaging the internal module. The cabinet door 810 is provided with a goods taking port, and the goods taking port can be matched with a movably arranged goods taking door. The access door may be a sliding door structure disposed inside the cabinet door 810 (i.e., on a side proximate to the interior of the cabinet 800). When the double-specification automatic drink machine 10 does not work or the brewing operation and the packaging operation are not completed, the goods taking port is closed by the goods taking door; when the automatic beverage machine 10 of two specifications is internally finished in the operation of brewing and packaging, and the beverage is required to be provided for the user, the goods taking door is opened in a sliding way to one side, the sealing of the goods taking opening is stopped, and the user can obtain the brewed beverage in the cabinet 800 through the goods taking opening. A touch screen for the user to perform a point-to-order operation may be further disposed on the side of the cabinet door 810 facing the client, and a camera 520 may be further disposed on the touch screen for the user to perform operations such as face recognition payment. The ventilation openings are further formed in other end faces of the cabinet body 800, which are not provided with the cabinet door 810, according to requirements and are connected with a ventilation exhaust fan, so that ventilation is performed on the environment inside the cabinet body 800, and heat dissipation in the operation process and the storage quality of drink raw materials are guaranteed. In addition, an illumination lamp can be further arranged inside the cabinet 800, so that maintenance personnel can maintain good visibility during maintenance. The touch screen can also be electrically connected with the control unit, and the control unit can receive the point list information received by the touch screen and control other modules to brew drinks according to the point list information.

The storage module 100 is a rotatable module, wherein the rotary cylinder 110 has a cylindrical structure, and the rotary cylinder 110 is rotatably disposed inside the cabinet 800, and the rotation axis thereof is perpendicular to the ground. The side wall of the rotary drum 110 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of storage channels 120, the central axes of the storage channels 120 are parallel to each other, and each storage channel 120 is perpendicular to the ground. Each storage lane 120 may store a plurality of beverage capsules 130. The beverage capsule 130 stores therein beverage raw materials for brewing beverage, which may be in the form of powder or concentrated solution. The beverage capsule 130 is divided into an opening portion at the top and a storage cavity at the bottom, the opening portion is clamped in the storage channel 120, and the beverage capsule 130 can move up and down along the storage channel 120 in the corresponding storage channel 120 through the opening portion. Multiple beverage capsules 130 can be stacked and stored in a single storage channel 120, and when the beverage capsule 130 at the bottom falls down, other beverage capsules 130 at the upper part can naturally move downwards.

Specifically, the bottom ends of the side walls of each storage channel 120 are provided with two groups of ejector pins, the two groups of ejector pins are respectively located above and below the beverage capsule 130 at the bottommost end, and the ejector pins located above are located between the beverage capsule 130 at the bottommost end and the beverage capsule 130 adjacent to the beverage capsule 130 at the bottommost end. In a normal state, the lower ejector rod is in an elongated state and protrudes from the side wall of the storage channel 120, thereby supporting all beverage capsules 130 from below the bottommost beverage capsule 130. When it is desired to drop the bottommost beverage capsule 130, the upper push rod is extended and supports other beverage capsules 130 except the bottommost beverage capsule 130, and then the lower push rod is retracted inside the storage channel 120 so that the bottommost beverage capsule 130 drops. Subsequently, the underlying ram will also extend again and eject the about-to-fall beverage capsule 130 out of the storage channel 120. Before the bottommost beverage capsule 130 falls, the transfer module 300 moves to the falling position of the beverage capsule 130 in advance, and after the beverage capsule 130 falls from the storage module 100, the beverage capsule is received by the transfer module 300 and is transferred to the extraction module 200 by the transfer module 300. Subsequently, the upper ram will be bribed inside the storage channel 120 and the other beverage capsules 130 located at the upper part can naturally move downwards and be supported by the lower ram.

When the beverage capsule 130 is transported to the extraction module 200, it is moved by the transfer module 300 to below the extraction outlet of the extraction module 200. Subsequently, the extraction module 200 will perform the extraction operation of the beverage capsule 130. During the extraction operation, the extraction outlet in the extraction module 200 pierces the sealing membrane in the opening of the beverage capsule 130 and extends into the beverage capsule 130. The brewing module 400 pumps the heated water out and delivers it to the extraction module 200. After the extraction module 200 receives the hot water from the brewing module 400 via the water inlet, the hot water is ejected from the extraction outlet and enters the beverage capsule 130. The hot water will soak and extract the beverage ingredients in the beverage capsule 130.

Each storage lane 120 in the storage module 100 stores only beverage capsules 130 of one size. The beverage capsule 130 includes two specifications, one is a first beverage capsule 131 having more beverage material and a larger volume, and the other is a second beverage capsule 132 having less beverage material and a smaller volume. The length of the first beverage capsule 131 is greater than the length of the second beverage capsule 132, and thus, when the first beverage capsule 131 and the second beverage capsule 132 are stored in the storage lane 120, the length of the first beverage capsule 131 protruding from the storage lane 120 will be greater than the length of the second beverage capsule 132 protruding from the storage lane 120. When a user needs to obtain a beverage with a larger volume, the first beverage capsule 131 can directly provide the beverage with the larger volume for brewing, so that the supply efficiency of the beverage with the larger volume is greatly improved.

The cup dropping module 600 performs a cup dropping operation before the extraction operation is performed. Specifically, a certain number of beverage containers 610 are stored in the cup dropping module 600, and the beverage containers 610 may be beverage cups or beverage bowls and other containers capable of containing beverages. In the cup dropping operation, the cup dropping module 600 separates a single beverage container 610 from the plurality of beverage containers 610 stored in a stacked manner, and drops the beverage container 610. At this time, the supply platform module has moved below the cup dropping module 600, and the beverage container 610 will drop onto the supply platform module after falling from the cup dropping module 600. The supply platform module then moves the beverage container 610 under the extraction module 200, aligning the beverage container 610 under the beverage capsules 130 stored in the extraction module 200 in preparation for receiving the beverage. In the extraction process, after the hot water enters the beverage capsule 130, the beverage raw material is soaked by the hot water, so that a beverage is generated and flows out from the filter screen at the bottom of the storage cavity at the bottom end of the beverage capsule 130, and the liquid outlet flow is completed. The beverage exiting the beverage capsule 130 will fall into the beverage container 610 below the extraction module 200.

When the process of discharging the beverage is completed, no more continuous beverage flows out of the beverage capsule 130, and the transfer module 300 drives the beverage capsule 130 having completed extraction to move out of the extraction module 200. After the beverage capsule 130 is removed from the extraction module 200, the transfer module 300 may further drop and discard the beverage capsule 130 to drop into the waste collection device. The waste collection device may be a receiving device disposed below the extraction module 200 and below the transfer module 300, which may receive the waste beverage capsules 130 and the residual beverage dropped from the extraction module 200.

So far, through the mutual coordination operation among all the modules, a complete beverage brewing process can be fully automatically completed.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the replenishment module 500 is mainly used in the replenishment process of the beverage capsule 130 in the storage module 100 and in the status monitoring of the storage module 100. The camera 520 and the grating assembly 510 are both electrically connected to the control unit. The camera 520 is opposite to the storage channel 120 above the transfer module 300 in the storage module 100, and can capture an image of the storage channel 120 and transmit the image to the transmission unit, and then perform image recognition to determine the number of beverage capsules 130 stored in the storage channel 120. The grating assembly 510 includes a plurality of grating assemblies 511, each grating assembly 511 includes an infrared emitter and an infrared receiver, the infrared emitter and the infrared receiver are respectively located at two sides of the storage track 120 above the transmission module 300, and an infrared track is generated between the infrared emitter and the infrared receiver. If the beverage capsules 130 stored in the storage channel 120 above the transfer module 300 are the first beverage capsules 131, the first beverage capsules 131 can pass through the infrared track generated by the grating groups 511 and are further sensed by the grating groups 511, and at this time, since each grating group 511 corresponds to only one beverage capsule 130, the control unit can determine the number of the first beverage capsules 131 in the storage channel 120 through the number of the sensed grating groups 511 in the grating assembly 510. When the second beverage capsule 132 is stored in the storage channel 120, the grating set 511 cannot sense the second beverage capsule 132, and the grating assembly 510 performs an error correction function at this time, specifically, if the first beverage capsule 131 exists in the storage channel 120 where the second beverage capsule 132 is to be stored, the grating set 511 can sense the first beverage capsule 131 and feed back an indication information of the filling error of the beverage capsule 130 to the control unit.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the transfer module 300 includes a first transfer module 301 and a second transfer module 302 disposed in parallel under the storage module 100; the first conveying module 301 and the second conveying module 302 each include a capsule holder assembly 310 and a guide assembly 330; the capsule holder assembly 310 is drivingly connected to the guide assembly 330 and is axially movable along the guide assembly 330 between the storage module 100 and the extraction module 200; the capsule holder assembly 310 is provided with a containing groove 320 for containing the beverage capsule 130; the capsule-holder assembly 310 is axially rotatable about the guide assembly 330; when the capsule-holding assembly 310 is rotated in a first direction, the receiving groove 320 faces the bottom end of the storage channel 120 to receive the beverage capsule 130 falling from the storage channel 120; when the capsule holder assembly 310 rotates in the second direction, the accommodating groove 320 is inclined in a direction away from the storage module 100, and the extracted beverage capsule 130 falls from the accommodating groove 320; the capsule-holding components 310 in the first conveying module 301 and the capsule-holding components 310 in the second conveying module 302 are respectively a first capsule-holding component 311 and a second capsule-holding component 312; the accommodating groove 320 of the first capsule holder assembly 311 is adapted to the first beverage capsule 131, and the accommodating groove 320 of the second capsule holder assembly 312 is adapted to the second beverage capsule 132.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and 3 (b), the first transfer module 301 and the second transfer module 302 are disposed in parallel below the storage module 100. Specifically, for the first capsule holder assembly 311 or the second capsule holder assembly 312, when the capsule holder assembly 310 rotates in the first direction, the capsule holder assembly 310 actually rotates toward the gap between the first conveying module 301 and the second conveying module 302, and the storage channel 120 above the conveying module 300, where the beverage capsule 130 needs to be dropped, is opposite to the gap between the first conveying module 301 and the second conveying module 302. That is, the first direction when the first capsule-holding assembly 311 rotates and the first direction when the second capsule-holding assembly 312 rotates are opposite, and the second direction is also opposite. The guiding assembly 330 may specifically include a first motor and a screw, on which the capsule-holding assembly 310 is screwed, the first motor being in driving connection with the screw. When the first motor drives the screw rod to rotate, the capsule holder assembly 310 can move axially along the screw rod and between the storage module 100 and the extraction module 200. The capsule holder assembly 310 may specifically include a capsule holder and a rotating assembly, where the rotating assembly is sleeved on the screw rod, and the rotating assembly also has an independent second motor, and the second electrode may drive the capsule holder to rotate in a first direction or a second direction.

When the capsule-holding assembly 310 is rotated in the first direction, it eventually aligns the top opening of the receiving slot 320 with the storage channel 120 of the about-to-fall beverage capsule 130 and maintains the position of the capsule-holding assembly 310 in preparation for receiving the beverage capsule 130, while the top opening of the receiving slot 320 remains horizontal. Subsequently, as shown in fig. 3 (a), the capsule holder assembly 310 transports the beverage capsule 130 into the extraction module 200 and allows the extraction module 200 to extract the beverage capsule 130 in the receiving groove 320. After extraction, the discarded beverage capsules 130 remain in the capsule holder assembly 310, and at this time, the capsule holder assembly 310 moves a distance along the guide assembly 330 toward the storage module 100 and rotates in the second direction when moving above the waste collection device, so that the top opening of the receiving groove 320 is gradually downward, and the discarded beverage capsules 130 naturally drop into the waste collection device. When the beverage capsule 130 is not required to be transported, the first capsule supporting assembly 311 and the second capsule supporting assembly 312 are rotated in the second direction and keep the top opening of the accommodating groove 320 facing downward, and when one of the first capsule supporting assembly 311 and the second capsule supporting assembly 312 needs to be rotated, mutual interference is not generated. It will be appreciated that when either the first beverage capsule 131 or the second beverage capsule 132 is rotated in a first direction, the top opening of the receiving channel 320 eventually reaches a position that coincides with one another.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the cup dropping module 600 stores a plurality of beverage containers 610 in a vertical stack; the cup dropping module 600 comprises a first cup dropping module 601 and a second cup dropping module 602 which are arranged in parallel; the beverage container 610 stored in the first cup dropping module 601 is a first beverage container 611; the beverage container 610 stored in the second cup dropping module 602 is a second beverage container 612; the supply platform module can move below the first cup dropping module 601 or the second cup dropping module 602 and receive the first beverage container 611 falling from the bottom end of the first cup dropping module 601 or the second beverage container 612 falling from the bottom end of the second cup dropping module 602; the first beverage container 611 has an inner volume greater than that of the second beverage container 612; the first beverage container 611 is configured to receive a beverage generated after the first beverage capsule 131 is extracted; the second beverage container 612 is configured to receive a beverage produced after extraction of the second beverage capsule 132.

In this embodiment, the first cup dropping module 601 and the second cup dropping module 602 may be disposed on two sides of the extraction module 200, and the supply platform module may translate below the first cup dropping module 601, the second cup dropping module 602 and the extraction module 200 to transport the first beverage container 611 or the second beverage container 612 to below the extraction module 200 for taking the beverage. Specifically, the internal structures of the first and second cup dropping modules 601 and 602 may be set to be the same structure, and the first and second beverage containers 611 and 612 may also be set to be different in height and the opening diameters are the same, so that the first and second cup dropping modules 601 and 602 can be adapted to the first and second beverage containers 611 and 612 of different specifications.

Referring to fig. 4-6, as shown in fig. 4, the embodiment of the invention further provides a beverage machine replenishment method applied to the dual-specification automatic beverage machine 10, the method comprises the following steps S110-S190:

s110, responding to a replenishment request, rotating a storage channel of a beverage capsule to be replenished to the upper part of a conveying module through a rotary drum according to storage information corresponding to each storage channel, and taking the storage channel above the conveying module as a current storage channel; wherein the stored information includes a first number of the beverage capsules and category information of the beverage capsules in the current storage track; the category information corresponds to the first beverage capsule or the second beverage capsule.

The restocking personnel can click or input a restocking instruction on the touch screen, and the control unit receives the restocking request and opens the cabinet door 810, at this time, all the modules inside the cabinet 800 are exposed. The control unit will automatically select the storage lane 120 to be replenished with beverage capsules 130 based on the stored information in each storage lane 120 at present. In this process, after the first number of the storage ways 120 is the last time the storage way 120 falls down into the capsule, the control unit automatically records and updates the data through the camera 520 and the grating assembly 510, specifically, each storage way 120 has the maximum number, and if the control unit obtains the storage ways 120 with the current first number being smaller than the maximum number, it can be determined that the storage ways 120 need to be supplemented with the beverage capsule 130. The control unit may control the rotation drum 110 to rotate one or more preset angles, which are rotation angles required for a certain lane 120 to rotate to a position of an adjacent lane 120, to rotate the current lane 120 above the transfer module 300. Specifically, if the storage channel 120 currently located above the transfer module 300 is the storage channel 120 that needs to be replenished with the beverage capsule 130, the control unit keeps the current position of the storage cylinder; if the lane 120 currently located above the transfer module 300 does not need replenishment, the number of preset angles for rotating the lane 120 of another beverage capsule 130 to be replenished is determined according to the number of lanes 120 spaced between the lane 120 of another beverage capsule 130 to be replenished and the lane 120 currently located above the transfer module 300. For example, if 1 storage track 120 is spaced, 2 preset angles are rotated; if 2 tracks 120 are spaced apart, then 3 preset angles are rotated. Meanwhile, the control unit may further obtain the category information of the beverage capsules 130 preset in each storage channel 120, so as to perform the corresponding replenishment process. Wherein each storage track 120 has its corresponding sensor, the control unit can determine the relative position of each storage track 120 by the position of the sensor of each storage track 120.

And S120, when the camera recognizes that a new beverage capsule is put into the current storage channel, increasing and updating the first quantity.

When the restocking person loads a new beverage capsule 130 into the current storage lane 120, the camera 520 can identify in real time that a new beverage capsule 130 is currently added into the current storage lane 120, and at this time, an update is required for the first quantity. This step represents the actual number of beverage capsules 130 currently in the storage track 120, i.e., an updated first number.

S130, determining a first comparison quantity according to the number of grating groups currently sensed by the beverage capsule.

Then, the control unit needs to determine the number of grating groups 511 of the beverage capsule 130 currently sensed, and take the number of grating groups 511 of the beverage capsule 130 sensed as a first comparison number, and then determine whether the restocking person loads the beverage capsule 130 with the correct specification into the current storage channel 120 according to the relationship between the first comparison number and the first number, so that the specification of the loaded beverage capsule 130 corresponds to the category information corresponding to the current storage channel 120.

S140, judging whether the category information of the beverage capsule corresponding to the current storage channel corresponds to the first beverage capsule, if so, executing the step S150; if not, go to step S170.

At this time, it is necessary to first determine whether the category information corresponding to the current storage track 120 is the first beverage capsule 131 or the second beverage capsule 132, so as to perform different verification operations.

S150, judging whether the first comparison quantity is smaller than the first quantity, if so, executing a step S160; if not, go to step S190.

If the type information corresponding to the current storage channel 120 is the first beverage capsule 131, after the restocking person correctly loads a new first beverage capsule 131, a new grating group 511 senses the newly loaded first beverage capsule 131, and further, the first comparison quantity should be increased and updated together with the first quantity. That is, if the restocking person adds a correct first beverage capsule 131 to the current store 120 of first beverage capsules 131 for the category information, the first comparison number should be equal to the first number.

S160, generating first warning information.

If the restocking person adds a beverage capsule 130 to the current storage track 120 corresponding to the first beverage capsule 131, the first comparison quantity is not updated with the first quantity, which means that the newly added beverage capsule 130 is not sensed by the grating group 511. This means that there may be two situations, the first being that the beverage capsule 130 does not enter the current storage lane 120 in the correct installation posture, and the second being that the beverage capsule 130 is not the first beverage capsule 131, but the second beverage capsule 132, and a restocking error occurs to the restocking personnel. Furthermore, the control unit may generate first warning information, where the first warning information may be displayed on the display screen, or played through the speaker and combined with the flashing light to remind the person to supplement the first beverage capsule 131 or check whether the beverage capsule 130 is installed in a correct posture.

S170, judging whether the first comparison quantity is larger than zero, if so, executing a step S180; if not, go to step S190.

If the type information corresponding to the current storage channel 120 is the second beverage capsule 132, after the restocking person correctly loads a new second beverage capsule 132, the first grating group 511 of the second beverage capsule 132 cannot be sensed at this time. Furthermore, the first contrast amount should also remain zero at all times. That is, if the restocking person adds a correct second beverage capsule 132 to the current storage lane 120 for which the category information is second beverage capsule 132, the first comparison number should always be zero.

S180, generating second warning information.

If the restocking person adds a beverage capsule 130 to the current storage track 120 corresponding to the second beverage capsule 132, the first contrast number is greater than zero, meaning that the newly added beverage capsule 130 is sensed by the new grating set 511. This means that the beverage capsule 130 falls outside the storage way 120 or that the beverage capsule 130 is the first beverage capsule 131. Furthermore, the control unit may generate a second warning message, which may be displayed on the display screen, or played through the speaker and together with the flashing light to remind the restocking person to prompt the restocking person to restock the goods in error, please supplement the second beverage capsule 132 or check whether the beverage capsule 130 is installed in the correct posture.

S190, determining that the new beverage capsule is successfully replenished.

If the type information of the current memory track 120 corresponds to the first beverage capsule 131 and the first quantity and the first comparison quantity remain the same, then it may be determined that the operation of adding the beverage capsule 130 this time is correctly completed; if the type information of the current memory track 120 corresponds to the second beverage capsule 132 and the first contrast amount remains zero, then it may be determined that this time the operation of adding the beverage capsule 130 is properly completed.

In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the stored information further includes the maximum number of beverage capsules 130 contained in the current storage channel 120, and step S190 may further include steps S210-S230:

s210, judging whether the first quantity is equal to the maximum quantity; if yes, sequentially executing the steps S220-S230; if not, go to step S240.

S220, generating third warning information.

And S230, responding to the third warning information, rotating another storage channel needing to be supplemented with the beverage capsules to the upper part of the conveying module through the rotary cylinder according to the storage information corresponding to each storage channel, and updating the storage channel positioned above the conveying module into the current storage channel.

S240, maintaining the position of the current storage track.

In this embodiment, each storage lane 120 corresponds to a maximum number of its own, which represents the number of beverage capsules 130 that the storage lane 120 is most capable of storing. If the restocking person adds a new beverage capsule 130 with the correct corresponding specification and category information into the current storage channel 120, the control unit may further increase the current updated first quantity and maximum quantity, and if the first quantity and maximum quantity are equal, the control unit may generate third warning information, where the third warning information may be displayed on the display screen, or played through a speaker and combined with light flashing to remind the restocking person, so as to prompt the restocking person that the current storage channel 120 has completed restocking. Subsequently, the control unit automatically confirms another storage lane 120 for the beverage capsule 130 to be replenished, and rotates the other storage lane 120 to the upper side of the transfer module 300, so that the replenishment staff can replenish the other storage lane 120. If the first number is still less than the maximum number, the current storage track 120 is maintained stationary for restocking personnel to continue restocking. It can be seen that the above steps ensure that the current storage lane 120 is replenished with a sufficient quantity of beverage capsules 130.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, step S230 may specifically include the following steps:

s231, acquiring a first number of the beverage capsules corresponding to each storage channel;

s232, sorting all the storage channels in a descending order according to the corresponding first quantity to obtain a first row of bits corresponding to all the storage channels;

s233, judging whether the other storage channel with the first row lower than the current storage channel exists or not; if so, step S234 is performed; if not, executing step S235;

s234, rotating the other storage channel with the first row lower than the current storage channel and the first row adjacent to the current storage channel to the upper part of the conveying module through a rotating cylinder;

s235, determining that all storage tracks are completed in replenishment.

In this embodiment, another storage track 120 needs to be selected for continued restocking. At this point, a first number corresponding to each storage track 120 may be obtained and sorted in descending order. After the first number is sorted in descending order, the storage track 120 with the first top row is the storage track 120 with the first largest number. If the first lane 120 has completed restocking, another lane 120 with the first row next to the first lane 120 may be rotated by the rotating drum 110 above the transfer module 300. The other track 120 is the first track 120 with the first number next to the current track 120. The purpose of this step is to replenish the beverage capsules 130 in a single storage lane 120 to the maximum number possible, preventing the number of beverage capsules 130 carried by the restocking personnel from being insufficient. If there is no other track 120 with the first rank lower than the current track 120, this means that the first number of all tracks 120 is equal to the maximum number, at which point it may be determined that all tracks 120 have been restocked. The first number of beverage capsules 130 corresponding to each storage lane 120 is the first number recorded by the camera 520 for each storage lane 120 during the last replenishment operation.

In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, step S230 may further specifically include the following steps S2301-S2307:

s2301, obtaining the category information corresponding to each storage channel;

s2302, judging whether the category information which is the same as the current storage channel exists or not, wherein the first number of the similar storage channels is smaller than the maximum number; if yes, sequentially executing steps S2303-S2305; if not, go to step S2306;

s2303, obtaining a second number of storage tracks spaced between each same type of storage track and the current storage track;

s2304, performing ascending sort on the similar storage channels according to the corresponding second numbers to obtain second row bits corresponding to the similar storage channels;

s2305, rotating the same type of storage channel with the highest second row to the position above the conveying module through a rotating cylinder;

s2306, rotating any different storage channel different from the category information of the current storage channel to the upper part of the transmission module through a rotating cylinder.

In this embodiment, the determination of the next lane 120 to be restocked is performed based on the type information corresponding to the lane 120. If there are similar lanes 120 that are the same as the category information corresponding to the current lane 120 and that have not been filled with beverage capsules 130 (the first number is less than the maximum number), then the number of lanes 120 that are spaced between all of the similar lanes 120 and the current lane 120 is sorted in ascending order to obtain a second rank for each similar lane 120. The higher the second rank, the fewer the number of tracks 120 in the same class 120 that are spaced from the current track 120. Then, the second highest ranked like storage track 120 is rotated above the transfer module 300 for restocking. Through the above operation, the nearest similar storage channel 120 can be supplemented preferentially, and the replenishment efficiency is accelerated while the beverage capsules 130 with the same specification are guaranteed to be supplemented preferentially. If there are no similar storage ways 120 to be restocked, the different storage ways 120 with different types of information are rotated above the transfer module 300 to restock the beverage capsules 130 with another specification. It is understood that the different tracks 120 may be sorted in ascending order according to the number of tracks 120 spaced from the current track 120, so as to obtain a third row of bits, and the different track 120 with the highest third row may be rotated above the transfer module 300.

Therefore, in the beverage machine replenishment method provided by the embodiment of the invention, through the cooperative operation of the grating component 510 and the camera 520, strict monitoring on the replenishment of the beverage capsule 130 can be realized, foolproof effect is achieved on replenishment personnel, the situation that the specification of the beverage capsule 130 and the storage information of the storage channel 120 are wrong in correspondence is effectively prevented, the situation that the mounting posture of the beverage capsule 130 is wrong is also prevented, and further the accuracy in the process of providing beverages for users is effectively ensured; on the other hand, the replenishment efficiency can be effectively increased, and the replenishment of the beverage capsules 130 in the storage channels 120 corresponding to the beverage capsules 130 with different specifications to the maximum number is preferentially ensured, so that the smooth supply to users is ensured.

Referring to fig. 7-8, as shown in fig. 7, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a beverage machine brewing method applied to the dual-specification automatic beverage machine 10, the method includes the following steps S310-S350:

The user may click on the touch screen to generate a beverage brewing request, for example, the user may select a beverage with a larger volume specification, the beverage brewing request corresponds to the first beverage capsule 131, and then the control unit rotates the storage channel 120 corresponding to the first beverage capsule 131 to above the transfer module 300, and takes the storage channel 120 as the current storage channel 120.

S320, the beverage capsules at the bottommost end in the current storage channel are dropped, so that the beverage capsules fall into the conveying module.

Subsequently, the control unit may control the movement of the ejector pins in the storage lane 120 such that the beverage capsule 130 located at the bottom end in the current storage lane 120 falls into the lower transfer module 300.

S330, conveying the beverage capsules to an extraction module through the conveying module.

The transfer module 300 may transport the dropped beverage capsules 130 to the extraction module 200 and then wait for the beverage container 610 to reach under the extraction module 200.

S340, the beverage container in the cup falling module falls down, and the beverage container is transported to the lower part of the extraction module through the supply platform module.

The cup dropping module 600 can drop the beverage container 610 to the supply platform module, and transport the beverage container 610 to the lower part of the extraction module through the supply platform module. Specifically, the cup dropping module 600 is divided into a first cup dropping module 601 and a second cup dropping module 602, and if the beverage capsule 130 at this time is the first beverage capsule 131, the first cup dropping module 601 drops into the first beverage container 611; if the beverage capsule 130 is the second beverage capsule 132, the second cup dropping module 602 drops the second beverage container 612.

S350, conveying hot water to the extraction module through the brewing module so as to extract the beverage capsules and enable the produced beverage to fall into the beverage container.

In this embodiment, after the brewing module 400 generates hot water, the hot water can be delivered to the extraction module 200, the extraction module 200 can extract the beverage raw materials in the beverage capsule 130, and then the generated beverage falls into the beverage container 610, so as to finish the brewing of the beverage. Finally, the access door on the cabinet door 810 is opened, and the user can access the beverage through the access opening.

In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, step S340 may further include the following steps:

s341, judging whether a grating group at the bottommost end of the grating assemblies senses the beverage capsules; if yes, sequentially executing the steps S342-S343; if not, go to step S346;

s347, rotating another storage channel for storing the first beverage capsules to the upper part of the conveying module through the rotary cylinder according to the storage information corresponding to each storage channel, and updating the other storage channel into the current storage channel;

s348, determining that the current storage channel is in a normal storage state.

In this embodiment, it is first determined whether the bottom grating group 511 senses the beverage capsule 130. If the beverage capsule 130 is sensed and the current storage channel 120 corresponds to the second beverage capsule 132, it may be determined that the beverage capsule 130 located at the bottom in the current storage channel 120 is the first beverage capsule 131 at this time, or the beverage capsule 130 located at the bottom in the current storage channel 120 is not in a correct posture, at this time, if the beverage capsule 130 is forced to fall, the beverage capsule 130 with the wrong specification may fall, or the beverage capsule 130 may be damaged. Therefore, the current storage channel 120 needs to be marked as a fault storage channel 120, so that maintenance personnel can know the fault condition of the fault storage channel 120 and maintain the fault condition in time, and meanwhile, the storage channel 120 with another type of information corresponding to the second beverage capsule 132 needs to be rotated above the conveying module 300 and used as a new current storage channel 120, and the next judgment on the sensing condition of the lowest grating group 511 is performed. Correspondingly, if the lowest grating set 511 does not sense the beverage capsule 130 but the current storage track 120 corresponds to the first beverage capsule 131, it is also necessary to determine that the current storage track 120 is malfunctioning. By means of the grating assembly 510, the accuracy of the specifications of the beverage capsule 130 can be further ensured before the beverage capsule 130 is dropped.

In one embodiment, the transfer module 300 includes a first transfer module 301 and a second transfer module 302 disposed in parallel under the storage module 100; the first conveying module 301 and the second conveying module 302 each include a capsule holder assembly 310 and a guide assembly 330; the capsule holder assembly 310 is drivingly connected to the guide assembly 330 and is axially movable along the guide assembly 330 between the storage module 100 and the extraction module 200; the capsule holder assembly 310 is provided with a containing groove 320 for containing the beverage capsule 130; the capsule-holder assembly 310 is axially rotatable about the guide assembly 330; when the capsule-holding assembly 310 is rotated in a first direction, the receiving groove 320 faces the bottom end of the storage channel 120 to receive the beverage capsule 130 falling from the storage channel 120; when the capsule holder assembly 310 rotates in the second direction, the accommodating groove 320 is inclined in a direction away from the storage module 100, and the extracted beverage capsule 130 falls from the accommodating groove 320; the capsule-holding components 310 in the first conveying module 301 and the capsule-holding components 310 in the second conveying module 302 are respectively a first capsule-holding component 311 and a second capsule-holding component 312; the accommodating groove 320 of the first capsule holder assembly 311 is adapted to the first beverage capsule 131, and the accommodating groove 320 of the second capsule holder assembly 312 is adapted to the second beverage capsule 132;

At this time, step S340 may be preceded by the further step of:

judging whether the category information corresponds to a first beverage capsule according to the category information of the beverage capsule corresponding to the beverage brewing request;

if the category information corresponds to the first beverage capsule, moving the first capsule support assembly to the position below the extraction module, and taking the first capsule support assembly as a current capsule support assembly;

if the category information does not correspond to the first beverage capsule, moving the second capsule holder assembly to the position below the extraction module, and taking the second capsule holder assembly as a current capsule holder assembly;
