Description
Technical Field
The utility model relates to the technical field of engineering, in particular to a cup holding unit with a weighing sensor for weighing ingredients in a cup.
Background
Reference is made to thailand patent No.1701002991 in which a pneumatic steam pressurized coffee machine has only one ingredient container unit, using only one drive gear and motor unit. This has the disadvantage of having only a single ingredient in the cup, so that the beverage sold is not versatile.
Later, vending machines, particularly vending machines for freshly brewed coffee with a plurality of containers, were structurally characterized by a plurality of raw material containers and a matched drive gear and motor, i.e. if there were five raw material containers, five drive gear and motor units were required. This results in a high production cost and requires a large space in the vending machine. Furthermore, the cup holding unit has no weighing system to calculate the weight of the raw material delivered from the dispensing unit and therefore has no notification or monitoring to determine if the raw material delivery system is problematic or standard, and therefore it is difficult to notice whether the vending machine is working effectively.
The utility model provides a cup holding unit with a weighing sensor, which is used for weighing raw materials in a cup, wherein the cup holding unit is provided with a weighing unit, and the weight of the raw materials conveyed from a distributing unit is calculated. The weighing unit is connected with the processing unit and transmits the weight data of the cup to the processing unit, and the processing unit controls and informs and monitors whether the ingredient conveying system has problems or meets the standard.
