The existing multi-cup-tube scheme needs to switch to another cup tube after all the cups in the cup tube in a certain path are used. When the cups of the cup cylinders on a certain path are not used up, the cups fall into the cup outlet holes and cannot be lifted, and other cup cylinders cannot be switched to the cup outlet holes. Therefore, even the existing scheme still can only achieve the purpose of expanding the storage capacity of the cup, but cannot achieve the purpose of controlling various drinks.

Furthermore, in order to expand the control of various beverages, the cup dropping device in the beverage control equipment has N paths, each path of cup dropping device is provided with a cup cylinder, and each cup cylinder is internally provided with a cup. The cup in each cup cylinder contains different beverage raw materials. Through the scheme, each cup falling device can independently control the cups in the cup barrel on the cup falling device, so that the cups containing different raw materials can be placed in each cup falling device, and convenience is brought to users for free selection.

Furthermore, the beverage control equipment is also provided with a cup collector which is assembled below the cup outlet of the N-way cup falling device. The cup that the cup ware guaranteed to fall from the multipath cup ware falls in same position, avoids the multipath cup to fall in different positions, and the interval is too big, and inconvenient water treatment facilities injects water in to the cup.

Specifically, the cup collector is a slide way with two open ends, one end of the slide way is large in opening, the other end of the slide way is small in opening, the space of the large end of the opening can accommodate at least two cups at the same time, and the space of the small end of the opening can accommodate only one cup. The cup collector is applied to the beverage control equipment, and one end with a large opening is arranged at a cup outlet of the cup collector in the beverage control equipment.
