The first embodiment is as follows:

please refer to fig. 1 to 6, which illustrate an embodiment of a capsule beverage machine.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, in the present embodiment, a capsule beverage machine includes: a capsule bin 10 for containing beverage powder capsules and a bin seat 20 for movably containing the capsule bin 10. The magazine base 20 encloses a first rest chamber 22 and a second rest chamber 23 which are divided by the rest table 21 and have a horizontal opening. The capsule beverage machine further comprises a puncture cover 30 and a puncture needle 31, wherein the puncture cover 30 is hinged with the bin base 20, and the puncture needle 31 is vertically arranged at one end of the puncture cover 30 away from a hinge point formed by the puncture cover 30 and the bin base 20, so that the puncture needle 31 can move circularly around the hinge point.

Referring to fig. 5 to 6, the capsule bin 10 includes a flat plate portion 11, a holding portion 12 formed by an upper end surface of the flat plate portion 11 being depressed downward, and a handle portion 16 vertically provided in a drawing direction of the flat plate portion 11. The handle portion 16 is provided with a catch 161 on a contact surface with the flat plate portion 11, and the catch 161 is in snap-fit connection with a catch groove formed in the flat plate portion 11 at a position corresponding to the catch 161. The holder 12 includes a sidewall 123 and a bottom 124. The side wall 123 and the bottom 124 enclose a containing cavity 121 with an opening facing upwards vertically, and the containing cavity 121 is used for containing a capsule filled with drink powder. It should be noted that the shape of the holding portion 12 is not exclusive, and may be cup-shaped, bowl-shaped, etc., and only the holding portion 12 may be used for holding the side wall and the bottom of the powder capsule. The bottom 124 of the holding part 12 is opened with a channel 122 for the prepared drink to flow out. In addition, the side wall 123 of the holding portion 12 on the side away from the lancet 31 is provided with a heating element 13, in this embodiment, the heating element 13 is a wired heating element, and the wired heating element is powered by an external power supply. The heating element 13 is partially embedded in the side wall 123, meanwhile, the heating element 13 is electrically connected with a temperature control switch 15 for testing the temperature of the capsule, and the temperature control switch 15 presets a temperature value. When the temperature reaches the temperature value, the temperature control switch 15 is automatically switched off, and the heating element 13 stops heating. The side of the flat plate portion 11 away from the handle portion 16 is provided with a contact electrode 14 connected to the heating element 13, and the contact electrode 14 includes a positive electrode 141 and a negative electrode 142. The contact electrode 14 is connected to the temperature-dependent switch 15 and the heating element 13.

Specifically, the flat plate portion 11 can be movably received in the bin base 20 along the direction indicated by the arrow 24, wherein the flat plate portion 11 is supported by the supporting platform 21 and received in the first supporting cavity 22, and meanwhile, the supporting portion 12 is received in the second supporting cavity 12. The cartridge holder 20 is provided with a receiving electrode 25 connected to an external power source, and the receiving electrode 25 includes a positive electrode 251 and a negative electrode 252. The receiving electrode 25 is disposed at a contact position between the holder 20 and the flat plate portion 11. When the capsule bin 10 is stored in the bin base 20 along the direction shown by an arrow 24, the puncture needle 31 moves downwards around a hinge point and punctures the capsule, meanwhile, the beverage machine fills high-pressure warm water with the temperature lower than 50 ℃ into the capsule through a water injection channel contained in the puncture needle 31 and disperses and stirs powder by using water pressure to form a mixture, at the moment, the warm water moves along the direction of a dotted arrow 100, and the powder which is not completely dissolved is accumulated along the direction shown by the arrow 100; at the same time, the receiving electrode 25 is electrically connected to the contact electrode 14, the heating element 13, the power supply, and the temperature-controlled switch 15 form a closed circuit, and the heating element 13 starts to operate. The heating element 13 heats the accumulated mixture to promote a sufficient and rapid dissolution of the mixture under the influence of water pressure, and the sufficiently dissolved mixture enters the water receiving cup through the passage 122. When the mixture rises to the temperature value preset by the temperature control switch 15, the temperature control switch 15 is switched off, and the heating element 13 stops heating. It should be noted that the temperature control switch is preset to a temperature of 53 ℃. While the heating element 13 stops heating, the machine injects hot water under pressure into the capsule through the injection channel comprised in the needle 31, which further drives the mixture retained in the capsule through the channel 122 towards the receiving cup until the predetermined volume of beverage is prepared. It is further noted that after the high-temperature hot water enters the receiving cup, the fully dissolved mixture in the receiving cup is gelatinized, so that the taste of the beverage is improved.
