As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8 , a water outlet base 100 provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a bottom frame 110 , a water outlet nozzle 130 , a top piece 150 and an electric drive assembly 170 . Wherein, the water outlet 130 is movably arranged on the bottom frame 110 . The water spout 130 moves to switch between the first position and the second position. The top piece 150 has a first connecting portion 151 rotatably connected to the bottom frame 110 , a second connecting portion 153 that is offset from the first connecting portion 151 , and a top portion 155 that is offset from the first connecting portion 151 . The top piece 150 is rotatable to switch the top 155 between a jacked-up position and a retracted position. When the top 155 is switched from the falling position to the jacking position, the water outlet 130 is jacked up to the first position, the top 155 is in the jacking position and the water outlet 130 is in the first position. When the top 155 is switched from the jacking position to the falling position, the water outlet 130 can be forced to fall back to the second position. The structure diagram when the top 155 is in the falling position and the water outlet 130 is in the second position is shown in FIG. 2 . The electric drive assembly 170 is used to drive the second connecting portion 153 of the top piece 150 to move so that the top portion 155 can be switched between the jacking position and the falling position.

The above-mentioned water outlet seat 100 drives the second connection portion 153 of the top piece 150 to move through the electric drive assembly 170, so that the water outlet nozzle 130 is switched between the first position and the second position, so that the valve core at the water outlet of the beverage container is moved. Move close to or away from the inner cavity of the beverage container, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the valve core, that is, the beverage machine can continue to discharge water without continuously operating the operation button.

In this embodiment, the electric drive assembly 170 is used to drive the second connecting portion 153 of the top member 150 to move so that the top member 150 is rotated until the top portion 155 is in the jacked-up position. And the top piece 150 rotates under the action of its own gravity, or under the action of its own gravity and the pressure of the water outlet 130, so that the top is switched to the falling position.

In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 151 and the second connecting portion 153 are located at opposite ends of the top member 150 respectively, and the top portion 155 is located between the first connecting portion 151 and the second connecting portion 153 . It can be understood that, in another feasible embodiment, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are not limited to be located at two ends of the top piece, respectively. Likewise, the top is not limited to being located between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. The rotation connection between the top piece and the bottom frame can be realized through the first connecting part, and the second connecting part of the top piece is driven by the electric drive assembly to move so that the top piece is rotated until the top is in the jacking position.

In this embodiment, by rotating the top piece 150 and the bottom frame 110, the top piece 150 can be effectively prevented from shifting, so that the water outlet 130 can be driven to switch between the first position and the second position more stably. At the same time, the top 155 can be switched to the jacking position and the falling position more accurately, so that when the top 155 is in the jacking position, the water outlet 130 can be more accurately jacked up to the first position, and can also be positioned at the top 155. In the falling position, the water outlet 130 can be forced to fall back to the second position more accurately.

Of course, it can be understood that the beverage machine with the water outlet base 100 has a control system, and the control system controls the operation of the electric drive assembly 170 after receiving the water outlet instruction.

It should be noted that, referring to FIG. 8 , the water outlet 130 has a drainage channel 131 with open ends at both ends. Two ends of the drainage channel 131 are a first end 1311 and a fourth end 1313 respectively. The water outlet 130 is used for docking with the beverage container on the beverage machine, and the beverage in the beverage container flows out from the water outlet 130 . Specifically, the first end 1311 of the drainage channel 131 is butted with the beverage container. The beverage in the beverage container flows into the drainage channel 131 from the first end 1311 of the drainage channel 131 and flows out from the fourth end 1313 of the drainage channel 131 .

In addition, it should be noted that, in this embodiment, when the water outlet 130 moves from the second position to the first position, the valve core can be pushed to move, thereby changing the opening and closing state of the valve core. Specifically, in this embodiment, a push portion 133 is provided on the inner side wall of the drainage channel 131 of the water outlet 130. During the process of the water outlet 130 moving from the second position to the first position, the push portion 133 is in contact with the valve core. to push the spool to move.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the push portion 133 is completely located in the drainage channel 131 of the water outlet. Therefore, when the beverage in the beverage container flows through the drainage channel 131 of the water outlet 130, the push portion 133 can play a role of drainage.

Further, the end of the push portion 133 for abutting with the valve core is spaced from the first end 1311 of the drainage channel 131 , that is, the end of the push portion 133 close to the first end 1311 of the drainage channel 131 and the first end 1311 of the drainage channel 131 are spaced apart. One end 1311 is spaced. On the one hand, it can make the liquid flow out more smoothly from the fourth end 1313 of the drainage channel 131; The structure of the electric drive components, etc., is affected by moisture, which affects the operation of the electric drive components, etc., and also prevents the beverage from adhering to the top piece and the bottom frame and other structures, which affects the cleaning of the top piece and the bottom frame, and avoids the breeding of bacteria.

In addition, in this embodiment, the drainage channel 131 is provided with two push portions 133 spaced along the circumferential direction of the drainage channel 131 . Therefore, the hydraulic pressure of the beverage flowing into the drainage channel 131 of the water outlet 130 can be balanced to a certain extent, so that the beverage can flow out from the fourth end 1313 of the drainage channel 131 more smoothly.

In this embodiment, the two push portions 133 have the same structure and the same size, and are arranged relative to the axis of the drainage channel 131, so that when the valve core is pushed to move, the axial force of the valve core can be balanced, that is, the single-sided force of the valve core can be avoided. The phenomenon of lateral force concentration. It can be understood that, in the other two possible embodiments, the number of pushing parts in the drainage channel is not limited to two. In addition, the sizes and shapes of different push portions may be different, and the intervals between adjacent push portions may be the same or different.

Of course, in another feasible embodiment, the push portion may also be provided on the outer side or end portion of the water outlet, and it only needs to be able to push the valve core to move. Alternatively, the movement of the valve core can also be pushed directly through the end of the water outlet.

Of course, in another feasible embodiment, the valve core can also be driven to move in the opposite direction through the movement of the water outlet 130, for example, by arranging a gear transmission mechanism between the water outlet and the valve core.

In this embodiment, the movement of the valve core at the water outlet of the beverage container is directly controlled by the movement of the water outlet 130 , avoiding the use of other components, thereby making the structure of the water outlet seat 100 simpler.

Specifically in this embodiment, the first connecting portion 151 and the second connecting portion 153 of the top piece 150 are relatively fixed. The axis of rotation of the first connecting portion 151 of the top piece 150 relative to the bottom frame 110 is the first axis a, and the electric drive assembly 170 drives the second connecting portion 153 of the top piece 150 to rotate around the first axis a, so that the top piece 150 rotates around the first axis a. An axis a rotates.

More specifically, in this embodiment, both the first connecting portion 151 and the second connecting portion 153 of the top member 150 are tilted relative to the top portion 155 . Of course, in another feasible embodiment, the first connecting portion 151 and the second connecting portion 153 of the top member 150 are not limited to be tilted relative to the top portion 155 . The structure of the top piece 150 can be in any regular or irregular shape, so as to ensure that the electric drive assembly 170 can drive the second connecting portion 153 to move, so as to make the top piece 150 rotate.

Of course, in another feasible embodiment, if the first connecting part and the second connecting part of the top piece are relatively unfixed, the way that the second connecting part of the top piece moves under the driving of the electric drive assembly is no longer around the first connecting part. Rotation of an axis.

For example, it is feasible that the top piece is a retractable structure, and the rotation of the top piece can be realized by directly driving the second connecting part of the top piece to move through the electric drive assembly. The direction in which the first connecting portion of the top piece points to the second connecting portion is set as the radial direction of the top piece. The electric drive assembly drives the second connecting part of the top piece to move, that is, the electric drive assembly gives the second connecting part of the top piece a force that is neither perpendicular nor parallel to the radial direction of the top piece, and the pulling force is in the radial direction of the top piece The component force drives the top piece to stretch, and the component force of the force in the radial direction perpendicular to the top piece drives the top piece to rotate. That is, when the second connecting part of the top piece moves, it also rotates relative to the first connecting part.

In this embodiment, the electric drive assembly 170 includes a rotatable rotating member 171 disposed on the bottom frame 110 and a motor 173 for driving the rotating member 171 to rotate. The rotating member 171 is rotated to drive the second connecting portion 153 of the top member 150 to move, thereby driving the top member 150 to rotate until the top portion 155 is at the jacked-up position.

Specifically, the rotating member 171 abuts against the second connecting portion 153 of the top member 150 . The surface of the rotating member 171 abutting against the top member 150 has a protrusion 1711 . The rotation of the rotating member 171 can cause the top end of the protrusion 1711 to abut or disengage from the second connecting portion 153 of the top member 150 . It can be understood that when the top end of the protrusion 1711 is in contact with the second connecting portion 153 of the top piece 150, the second connecting portion 153 of the top piece 150 reaches the highest position to be jacked up, so that the top piece 150 is kept in the jacked-up position. Location. Correspondingly, when the second connecting portion 153 of the top piece 150 is disengaged from the top end of the protrusion 1711 , the top piece 150 can be switched from the jacked-up position to the fall-down position under the action of an external force.

In this embodiment, in the surface of the rotating member 171 abutting against the top member 150 , the part without the protrusion 1711 is a depression 1713 ; The rotating member 171 is rotated until the protrusion 1711 abuts or disengages from the abutting protrusion 154 . After the abutting protrusions 154 are separated from the protrusions 1711 , the abutting protrusions 154 can be forced to move toward the depressions 1713 until the top 155 is in the falling position. bottom end abuts. Therefore, the top end of the protrusion 1711 and the bottom end of the concave 1713 can alternately abut against the abutting protrusion 154, so that the top part 155 can be located at the jacking position or the falling position more accurately, correspondingly, the driven water nozzle 130 can be more accurately Precisely located in the first position or the second position, the accuracy of the movement of the water outlet 130 is ensured, so that the valve core can be better kept in an open or closed state.

In this embodiment, the rotating member 171 is provided with two protrusions 1711 and two depressions 1713 , and the protrusions 1711 and the depressions 1713 are arranged annularly at intervals around the rotation axis of the rotating member 171 . Therefore, during the rotating process of the rotating member 171, the top can be continuously switched between the jacking position and the falling position.

In this embodiment, the center of the protrusion 1711 and the vertical line of the rotation axis of the rotating member 171 are perpendicular to the vertical line of the adjacent recess 1713 and the rotation axis of the rotating member 171 . Therefore, every time the rotating member rotates 90°, the top can be switched from the jacking position to the falling position, or from the falling position to the jacking position.

In this embodiment, the protrusion 1711 and the depression 1713 transition smoothly, so that the top can be switched between the jacking position and the falling position more stably, so that the valve core can be switched between opening and closing more smoothly.

Of course, it can be understood that, in another feasible embodiment, after the abutting protrusion is separated from the top end of the protrusion, the abutting protrusion 154 can be forced to move toward the recess 1713 until the top 155 is at the falling position, and the contact The protruding portion can also only abut against the opposite two side walls of the adjacent two protuberances without abutting against the bottom ends of the recesses.

In this embodiment, when the rotating member 171 rotates within the preset path, the top end of the protrusion 1711 can be kept in contact with the top member 150, and the top portion 155 can be kept in the lifting position, so that the rotating member 171 can rotate to the preset path. In any position within, the top 155 can be kept in the jacked-up position, reducing the requirement for the rotation precision of the rotating member 171 .

Specifically, the top of the protrusion 1711 can be set as a plane, and when the top piece 150 abuts against the plane, the top 155 is kept in the jacked-up position. And/or, the surface of the second connecting portion 153 of the top piece 150 abutting against the top end of the protrusion 1711 is set as a plane, and when the top end of the protrusion 1711 is in contact with the plane, the top portion 155 remains in the jacked position .

Of course, it can be understood that, in another feasible embodiment, the protrusions may also be provided on the surface of the second connecting portion of the top piece that abuts against the rotating piece. Through the rotation of the rotating member, the top end of the protrusion is abutted or disengaged from the rotating member, and the rotation of the rotating member can also drive the top of the top member to switch between the jacking position and the falling position. Further, abutting protrusions can also be provided on the adapter, and the abutting protrusions on the adapter can abut or abut the top ends of the protrusions on the second connecting portion of the top member through the rotation of the rotating member. disengaged, so that the rotation of the rotating member drives the top of the top member to switch between the jack-up position and the fall-back position.

In this application, the rotating member 171 is directly connected to the output shaft of the motor 173 , that is, the motor 173 directly drives the rotating member 171 to rotate. Of course, it can be understood that, in another feasible embodiment, a transmission mechanism may be additionally provided between the motor 173 and the rotating member 171 , that is, the motor 173 drives the rotating member 171 to rotate through the transmission mechanism.

In this embodiment, the rotation axis of the rotating member 171 is parallel to the moving direction of the water outlet 130 . It can be understood that, in another feasible embodiment, the rotation axis of the rotating member 171 may not be parallel to the moving direction of the water outlet 130 , as long as the second connecting portion 153 of the top member 150 can be driven to move.

In this embodiment, the surface of the rotating member 171 abutting against the second connecting portion 153 of the top member 150 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotating member 171 . In another feasible embodiment, the surface of the rotating member 171 abutting against the second connecting portion 153 of the top member 150 may also be parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating member 171, or another regular or irregular surface of the rotating shaft, which can The second connecting part 153 of the top piece 150 is driven to move so that the top part 155 can be converted between the jacking position and the falling position.

In this embodiment, the rotating member 171 is cylindrical. It can be understood that, in another feasible embodiment, the rotating member 171 is not limited to be cylindrical, but can also be any other regular or irregular shape, and can be rotated to drive the second connecting portion 153 of the top member 150 to move. .

In this embodiment, the top 155 is provided with a via hole 1551 , and the water outlet 130 is penetrated through the via hole 1551 . A limiting member 135 is provided on the outer side wall of the water outlet 130 . When the top 155 is switched from the falling position to the jacking position, the top 155 is in contact with the limiting member 135 to drive the water outlet 130 to move from the second position to the first position. That is, the top 155 drives the water outlet 130 to move through the limiting member 135 . The water outlet 130 is disposed in the through hole 1551 , so that the water outlet 130 can occupy less space outside the chassis 110 , thereby reducing the volume of the water outlet 100 and meeting the miniaturization requirement of the water outlet 100 .

It can be understood that the top piece 150 is rotated to drive the water outlet 130 to move. During the rotation of the top piece 150 , the included angle between the depth direction of the via hole 1551 and the moving direction of the water outlet 130 is constantly changing. Specifically, in this embodiment, the depth direction of the via hole 1551 is the extension direction of the inner wall of the via hole 1551 , that is, the P-P direction shown in FIG. 4 . When the top 155 of the top piece 150 is in the falling position, the depth direction of the via hole 15551 is the same as the moving direction of the water outlet 130 . When the top 155 of the top piece 150 is switched from the falling position to the jacking position, the top piece 150 rotates, so the inner wall of the via hole 1551 also rotates accordingly, so that the depth direction of the via hole 1551 also rotates accordingly, and the moving direction of the water outlet 130 Therefore, the angle between the depth direction of the via hole 1551 and the moving direction of the water outlet 130 changes. Therefore, during the rotation of the top piece 150, the included angle between the depth direction of the via hole 1551 and the moving direction of the water outlet 130 is constantly changing. Further, as the top piece 150 rotates, the inner wall of the via hole 1551 also rotates correspondingly, but the direction of the outer side wall of the water outlet 130 does not change. Therefore, with the rotation of the top piece 150, the angle between the inner wall of the via hole 1551 and the outer side wall of the water outlet 130 changes. Therefore, there needs to be a space between the water outlet 130 and the inner wall of the via hole 1551 for the relative change between the inner wall of the via hole 1551 and the outer side wall of the water outlet 130 . In other words, there is a space between the water outlet 130 and the inner wall of the through hole 1551 so that the top piece 150 can be rotated.

In this embodiment, the via hole 1551 is a waist-shaped hole. On the one hand, the change of the angle between the depth direction of the via hole 1551 and the moving direction of the water outlet 130 can be achieved; The shape of 1551 is regular and easy to process. Of course, in another feasible embodiment, the via hole is not limited to the waist-shaped hole, but can also be any other regular or irregular shape, which can realize the change of the angle between the depth direction of the via hole and the moving direction of the water outlet. That's it.

The beverage container 210 is disposed on the water outlet 100 . The bottom of the beverage container 210 is provided with a water outlet 211 that is butted with the water outlet 130 . A valve core 230 is provided at the water outlet 211 .

When the water outlet 130 moves from the second position to the first position, the water outlet 130 drives the valve core 230 to move in a direction extending along the water outlet 211 and pointing toward the inner cavity of the beverage container 210 . After the valve core 230 is separated from the driving force of the water outlet 130 , it can automatically move in a direction extending along the water outlet 211 and away from the inner cavity of the beverage container 210 .

In the above-mentioned beverage machine 200, the second connecting part of the top piece is driven to move by the electric drive assembly 170, so that the water outlet 130 is switched between the first position and the second position, so that the valve core at the water outlet 211 of the beverage container 210 is moved.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the water outlet 130 is driven to move from the first position to the second position during the movement of the water outlet 130 in the direction extending along the water outlet 211 and away from the inner cavity of the beverage container 210 . When the water outlet 130 is in the first position, the valve core 230 remains open. When the water outlet 130 is located at the second position, the valve core 230 remains in an automatically closed state.

Of course, in another feasible embodiment, if the valve core 230 is automatically kept in the open state without being acted by the water outlet 130 , when the water outlet 130 is in the first position, the valve core 230 remains in the closed state. When the water outlet 130 is located at the second position, the valve core 230 remains in an automatically open state.

In this embodiment, the water outlet 130 and the valve core 230 are provided independently, and the water outlet 130 is in contact with the valve core 230 . It can be understood that, in another feasible embodiment, the water outlet and the valve core can also be integrally formed, or directly through the structure of the water outlet, so that the water outlet has an open and closed state of the valve core, so as to control the flow of the water outlet in the beverage container 210. whether the liquid flows out.

In this embodiment, the beverage container 210 is detachably connected to the water outlet base 100 , thereby facilitating the cleaning of the beverage container 210 , the replacement or maintenance of the beverage container 210 , and the cleaning and maintenance of the water outlet base 100 . Specifically, in this embodiment, the bottom of the beverage container 210 is provided with a rotating insert 213 , and the water outlet 100 is provided with a rotating slot 115 matching the rotating insert 213 . The fixed connection between the beverage container 210 and the water outlet base 100 is realized by the rotating insert portion 213 and the rotating slot 115 . When installing the beverage container 210 on the water outlet base 100, first place the beverage container 210 on the water outlet base 100, and the rotating insert 213 is located at the open insertion end of the rotating slot 115, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14; then rotate For the beverage container 210, the rotating insert 213 is inserted into the rotating slot 115, so that the side wall of the rotating slot 115 prevents the rotating insert 213 from moving in the vertical direction in FIG. The positioning of the beverage container 210 in this direction can also prevent the beverage container 210 from slipping off the water outlet seat 100 , see FIGS. 15 and 16 .

Referring to FIG. 1 , in this embodiment, the rotating slot 115 is located on the beverage container mounting member 111 of the bottom frame 110 . Of course, in another feasible embodiment, if the bottom frame is not provided with a separate beverage container mounting member, the beverage container 210 may also be provided on the bottom frame 110 .

In this embodiment, the beverage container 210 is provided with two rotating inserts 213 , and the bottom frame 110 is provided with two rotating slots 115 . When the beverage container 210 is installed on the water outlet base 100 , the two rotating inserts 213 can be inserted into the two rotating slots 115 respectively. Of course, it can be understood that, in another feasible embodiment, the beverage container is not limited to two rotating inserts, and may also include one or more than two rotating inserts. Correspondingly, the number of rotating slots is also set accordingly.

It should be noted that the way to realize the detachable connection between the beverage container and the water outlet is not limited to this, and may also be by means of snap connection, magnetic attraction and the like.

In this embodiment, when the water outlet 130 moves from the second position to the first position, the water outlet 130 drives the valve core 230 to move in the same direction.

It should be noted that, in another feasible embodiment, when the water outlet moves from the second position to the first position, the valve core can also be driven to move in the opposite direction, that is, the valve core can be driven to move along the extending direction of the water outlet and away from the water outlet. The direction of the inner cavity of the beverage container moves. Correspondingly, after the valve core is separated from the driving force of the water outlet, it can automatically move in a direction along the extending direction of the water outlet and toward the inner cavity of the beverage container. Specifically, a transmission mechanism such as a rack and pinion transmission can be used, so that when the water outlet nozzle drives the valve core to move, the water outlet nozzle and the valve core move in opposite directions. For example, in a feasible embodiment, the valve core is integrally provided on the outer side of the beverage container. And when it is not driven by the water outlet, the valve core is automatically sealed and fitted with the side wall of the water outlet of the beverage container or with the outer surface of the bottom wall of the beverage container, and the fitting position surrounds the water outlet, thereby sealing. The water outlet of the beverage container, that is, the valve core is closed. When the water outlet moves from the second position to the first position, the valve core is driven to move along the extending direction of the water outlet and away from the inner cavity of the beverage container, so that the valve core is out of contact with the beverage container, so that the fluid in the beverage container It can flow out through the water outlet, that is, the valve core is opened.

As shown in FIGS. 9 , 18 and 19 , in this embodiment, the beverage container 210 includes a cup body 212 and a cup cover 214 matched with the cup body 212 . Specifically, the cup cover 214 includes a cover body 310 and a stopper 330 . The cover body 310 has a cover surface 311 . The blocking member 330 is in sealing contact with the cover surface 311 of the cover body 310 , and extends along a part of the edge of the cover surface 311 . The blocking member 330 and the cover surface 311 enclose the intercepting groove 320 .

It can be understood that the cover surface 311 of the cover body 310 refers to the surface of the cover body 310 exposed to the cavity of the cup body 212 after the cup cover 214 and the cup body 212 are closed, that is, the surface of the cover body 310 close to the cup body 212 is the surface of one side of the cavity.

When the cup cover 214 is removed from the cup body 212 , the side of the cup cover 214 opposite to the stopper 330 can be lifted first, so that the liquid condensed on the cover surface 311 is removed with the inclination of the cover body 310 . When flowing to the edge of the cover surface 311 , it can be blocked by the blocking member 330 to intercept the flow in the intercepting groove 320 , so as to prevent the liquid from flowing out of the cup body 212 .

In addition, the stopper 330 extends along the edge of the cover surface 311 , so that the areas of the cover surface 311 not covered by the stopper 330 are all located inside the stopper 330 , so that when the cup cover 214 is removed from the cup body 212 , so that the liquid condensed on the cover surface 311 can be blocked by the blocking member 330 so as to be intercepted in the intercepting groove.

Furthermore, if the temperature of the liquid contained in the cup body 212 is relatively high, by preventing the liquid condensed on the cover surface 311 from flowing out of the cup body 212, the liquid with a higher temperature can be prevented from flowing to the outside of the cup body 212 and near the burnt area. Animals or plants, etc. If the liquid contained in the cup body 212 is corrosive or toxic, by preventing the liquid condensed on the cover surface 311 from flowing out of the cup body 212, the corrosive or toxic liquid can be prevented from flowing out of the cup body 212 to cause pollution environment, also avoid corrosive liquid from flowing out of the cup body 212 to corrode surrounding objects, and avoid toxic liquid flowing out of the cup body 212 and cause poisoning by accidental contact between humans and animals.

It can be understood that the stopper 330 is in sealing contact with the cover surface 311 of the cover body 310 , so as to prevent the liquid condensed on the cover surface 311 from flowing between the stopper 330 and the cover body 310 to a position outside the cup body 212 . In addition, it can be understood that the stopper 330 is in sealing contact with the cover surface 311 of the cover body 310 , so the stopper 330 is protruded on the cover surface 311 of the cover body 310 , so that the stopper 330 can condense on the cover surface 311 . The liquid can be blocked by the blocking member 330 .

In this embodiment, the blocking member 330 has a blocking surface 331 located on the inner side. In other words, the blocking surface 331 of the blocking member 330 is the surface of the blocking member 330 for enclosing the intercepting groove 320 . The liquid condensed on the cover surface 311 flows to the blocking surface 331 of the blocking member 330 and is blocked.

In this embodiment, the cover body 310 and the blocking member 330 are integrally formed. It can be understood that, in another feasible embodiment, the cover body 310 and the blocking member 330 may also be provided separately. During assembly, the stopper 330 and the cover surface 311 of the cover body 310 can be sealed and fit.

In addition, in this embodiment, the cover body 310 and the blocking member 330 are made of the same material. Optionally, the cover body 310 may be a metal cover body such as a stainless steel cover body, or a plastic cover body such as a polypropylene cover body, a polycarbonate cover body, or a polyethylene plastic cover body. Correspondingly, the stopper 330 is formed of the same material as the cover body 310 , so that the cover body 310 and the stopper 330 can be integrally formed. It can be understood that the cover body 310 and the blocking member 330 are formed of plastic material, which is low in cost and easy to form.

It can be understood that, in another feasible embodiment, the cover body and the blocking member may also be made of different materials, as long as the blocking member and the cover body can be sealed and fit.

Optionally, when the cover body 310 and the stopper 330 are made of different materials, the cover body 310 and the stopper 330 are adhesively connected, or a sealing gasket is provided between the cover body 310 and the stopper 330, so as to ensure the cover body The cover surface 311 of the 310 is in sealing contact with the blocking member 330 .

In the present embodiment, the blocking member 330 and the cover surface 311 enclose the intercepting groove 320 . The interception groove 320 is partially disposed around the edge of the cover surface 311 , so that the liquid trapped by the interception groove 320 can flow out from the end of the interception groove 320 by rotating the cup cover 214 . During the specific operation, according to the position of the end of the interception groove 320 , the end of the interception groove 320 can be controlled to be located at the opening of the cup body 212 , so that the liquid in the interception groove 320 can flow out.

In addition, in this embodiment, from the edge of the blocking surface 331 combined with the cover surface 311 to the free edge of the blocking surface 331 , the blocking surface 331 is gradually inclined in a direction away from the cover surface 311 . Therefore, after the cup cover 214 is placed on the cup body 212 , the blocking surface 331 is inclined toward the inner cavity of the cup body 212 , so that the liquid in the interception groove 320 can flow into the cup body 212 relatively easily.

In this embodiment, the projection of the blocking member 330 on the covering surface 311 includes a first edge 332 that is coincident with a quarter edge of the covering surface 311 and a second edge 334 located in the inner area of the covering surface 311 . The second side 334 is at least partially bent toward the direction of the first side 332 . It can be understood that the blocking member 330 has an outer surface 333 disposed opposite to the blocking surface 331 . The second side 334 is at least partially bent in the direction of the first side 332 , so that the area of the outer surface 333 is smaller, so that less liquid condenses on the baffle 331 , so as to avoid agglomeration of more liquid on the outer surface 333 As a result, the liquid flows out of the cup body 212 . Moreover, the second side 334 is at least partially bent in the direction of the first side 332 , so that the blocking member 330 has a smaller volume and saves materials.

In this embodiment, the side of the cup cover 214 has a first mounting structure 313 for rotatably connecting with the cup body 212 . The blocking member 330 and the first mounting structure 313 are located on the same side of the cover surface 311 . Therefore, when the cup lid 214 is opened, the blocking member 330 naturally follows the first installation structure 313 and is located at a lower position, so that the liquid condensed on the cover surface 311 can flow to the position pointing to the blocking member 330, and is thus blocked by the blocking member 330. 330 is blocked into the shut-off groove. Therefore, by rotatably connecting the cup cover 214 and the cup body 212 , when the cup cover 214 is opened, the inclination direction of the cup cover 214 can be avoided to cause the liquid condensed on the cover surface 311 to flow out of the cup body 212 .

In this embodiment, the blocking member 330 extends along a quarter edge of the cover surface 311 . It can be understood that, in another feasible embodiment, the blocking member may also be along one-fifth, one-quarter, one-third, one-half, two-thirds, and one-quarter of the cover surface. Three edge extensions. The longer the stopper extends along the edge of the cover surface, the longer the extended length of the intercepting groove enclosed by the stopper and the cover surface, thereby increasing the range of directions in which the lid can be tilted and facilitating the operation of the lid. Preferably, the ratio of the extension length of the blocking member 330 to the extension length of the edge of the cover surface 311 is any ratio between one fifth and one half.

What's more, in a feasible embodiment, the blocking member may also be arranged around the cover joint surface. Therefore, when the cup cover is opened from the cup body 212, the cup cover can be inclined in any direction, which can ensure that the liquid condensed on the cover surface can be blocked by the blocking member into the intercepting groove.

In this embodiment, the connecting position of the cup cover 214 and the cup body 212 is used to ensure the inclination direction of the cup cover 214 when it is opened. In another feasible embodiment, the tilting direction of the cup cover may also be ensured by other means. For example, in one possible embodiment, the cover body has a back surface opposite to the cover engaging surface. The back of the cover body is provided with a handle, and the extension direction of the handle points to the stopper. According to the operating habit of most people when opening the cup lid from the cup body 212 through the handle, the cup lid is inclined downward in the direction that the handle points, so that the liquid condensed on the lid surface can flow in the direction pointing to the stopper . For another example, in a feasible embodiment, the cover body has a back surface opposite to the cover joint surface. There is a position mark on the back to identify the position of the stopper. Therefore, when the cup lid is opened from the cup body 212, the position of the stopper can be more accurately judged according to the position mark, so that the inclination direction of the cup lid can be judged more accurately, so that the liquid condensed on the lid surface can be directed to the lid. Flow in the direction of the stopper. Of course, in another feasible embodiment, the method for ensuring the inclination direction when the cup lid is opened is not limited to this, and can also be achieved by providing a see-through window or the like.

In this embodiment, the cup cover 214 can be rotated relative to the cup body 212 to switch between the closed state and the first open state.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the cup body 212 is provided with a first limiting portion 370 , and the cup lid 214 is provided with a second limiting portion 2121 and a third limiting portion 2123 matching the first limiting portion 370 . When the cup lid 214 is rotated to the closed state, the first limiting portion 370 and the second limiting portion 2121 limit each other to keep the cup lid 214 in the closed state, thereby preventing the liquid in the cup body 212 from spilling. or polluted by the external environment. When the cup cover 214 is rotated to the first open state, the first limiting portion 370 and the third limiting portion 2123 limit each other, so that the cup cover 214 is kept in the first open state, and the inner cavity of the cup body 212 is facilitated. Perform operations such as cleaning or adding items such as tea leaves into the inner cavity of the mesh cup body 212 .

Further, in this embodiment, the first limiting portion 370 is an insert provided on the cup body 212 , the second limiting portion 2121 is a limiting end surface provided on the cup cover 214 , and the third limiting portion 2123 is a A slot on the cup cover 214. In this embodiment, the extending direction of the third limiting portion 2123 is parallel to the extending direction of the second limiting portion 2121 . The first limiting portion 370 is connected with the cup body 212 through an elastic member. When the cup cover 214 is rotated until the first limiting portion 370 is in contact with the second limiting portion 2121 , the first limiting portion 370 remains in contact with the second limiting portion 2121 under the action of the elastic member, preventing the first limiting portion The portion 370 moves in a direction perpendicular to the second limiting portion 2121 and pointing toward the first limiting portion 370 , so that the cup lid 214 is kept in a closed state. It can be understood that when the cup cover 214 is in the closed state, the cup cover 214 is closed with the cup body 212 . The cup cover 214 is limited by the cup body 212 to limit the rotation of the cup cover 214 to continue to rotate in the direction pointing to the cup body 212 ; the cup cover 214 is limited by the second limiting portion 2121 to limit the cup cover 214 is rotated to continue to rotate in the direction away from the cup body 212 . Thus, the cup cover 214 is kept in a closed state.

When the cup lid 214 starts to rotate from the closed state, it overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member connected with the first limiting portion 370 , so that the first limiting portion 370 moves in a direction parallel to the second limiting portion 2121 until it is separated from the second limiting portion 370 . The limiting portion 2121 abuts and continues to rotate until the first limiting portion 370 is inserted into the third limiting portion 2123, and the first limiting portion 370 remains inserted into the third limiting portion 2123 under the action of the elastic member. in order to keep the lid 214 in the open state. Similarly, when the cup cover 214 starts to rotate from the first open state, it overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member connected to the first limiting portion 370, so that the first limiting portion 370 slides out of the third limiting portion 2123, and continues to rotate the first limiting portion 370. A limiting portion 370 abuts against the second limiting portion 2121 to keep the cup lid 214 in a closed state.

In this embodiment, the second limiting portion 2121 and the third limiting portion 2123 of the cup cover 214 are both disposed on the first mounting structure 313 . The second limiting portion 2121 is an outer surface of the mounting structure 313 . It can be understood that, in another feasible embodiment, the second limiting portion 2121 and the third limiting portion 2123 may also be provided at positions other than the installation structure of the cup cover.

In this embodiment, the cup body 212 includes a second mounting structure 2122 that cooperates with the first mounting structure 313 . The first limiting portion 370 is disposed on the second mounting structure 2122 .

Further, optionally, the cup body on the cup body 212 for holding the liquid is detachably connected with the second installation structure 2122 . Therefore, if the beverage container is installed on a beverage machine or other equipment, only the cup body can be disassembled to perform operations such as cleaning the cup body. That is, in this process, only the cup body can be removed without removing the second installation structure 2122 .

The second limiting portion 2121 is a limiting end surface disposed on the cup cover 214 , and there is no need to perform operations such as grooving on the cup cover, and the process is simple. It can be understood that, in another feasible embodiment, the second limiting portion 2121 may also be a slot.

Optionally, the rotation angle of the cup cover 214 when switching between the closed state and the first open state is 60° or 75°.

In other embodiments of the present application, the second installation structure 2121 is further provided with a fourth limiting portion, and the fourth limiting portion is used for matching with the third limiting portion 2123. The specific structure of the fourth limiting portion The same as the first limiting portion 370 . When the fourth limiting portion and the third limiting portion are mutually limiting, the cup cover is in the second open state. The fourth limiting portion and the first limiting portion 370 are distributed at different positions of the second installation structure 2121 , so the opening degree of the cup lid when the fourth limiting portion and the third limiting portion are mutually limiting is the same as that of the first limiting portion. The opening degree of the cup lid is different from that when the third limiting part is mutually limited, that is, the rotation angle required for the cup lid to rotate from the closed state to the first open state is the same as the angle required for the cup lid to rotate from the closed state to the second open state. The rotation angles are different to meet the requirements of opening the cup cover 214 to different positions. For example, when the lid is rotated from the closed state to the second open state, the angle of rotation of the lid is 60°; when the lid is rotated from the closed state to the first open state, the angle of rotation of the lid is 75°.

In this embodiment, the first mounting structure 313 of the cup cover 214 is provided with a rotating shaft 3131 , and the second mounting structure 2122 is provided with a rotating hole 2124 matching the rotating shaft, so as to realize the rotation of the cup cover 214 relative to the cup body 212 .

In this embodiment, referring to FIGS. 24 and 25 , the cover body 310 is provided with a water outlet 350 . The beverage machine 200 further includes a connecting pipe 240 and a solenoid valve 230 , and the solenoid valve 230 has a water outlet 251 . One end of the connecting pipe 240 is butted with the water outlet 350 , and the other end is butted with the water outlet 251 of the solenoid valve 230 . The water outlet 350 is arranged on the cover body 310, and the cup cover 300 is removed from the cup body 212, that is, when the cup cover 300 is in the first open state relative to the cup body 212, the cup cover 300 will inevitably rotate, which will cause the water The connecting pipe 240 to which the nozzle 350 is connected moves, rotates or deforms. If the movement or rotation of the connecting pipe 240 is used to match the movement of the cup cover 300 , the structure of the connecting pipe 240 or the solenoid valve 230 docked with the connecting pipe 240 will be complicated. If the movement of the cup cover 300 is matched by the deformation of the connecting pipe 240 , the connecting pipe 240 may be damaged due to deformation. In this embodiment, the connecting pipe 240 is a hose, and the hose has a certain flexibility, so when the cup cover 300 moves, the hose is elastically deformed, so as to avoid the hose from being damaged due to deformation, neither because the cup cover 300 is moved. The movement of the cover 300 affects the water storage channel of the cup body 212 .

Further, referring to FIG. 23 , in this embodiment, the beverage container 210 is provided with a perforation 315 through which the connecting pipe 240 passes. That is, the connecting pipe 240 is penetrated in the through hole 315 and does not occupy the space outside the beverage container 210 , so that the appearance of the beverage container 210 is simple and neat. It should be noted that, in FIG. 23 , only the parts of the through hole 315 corresponding to the cover body 310 and the first installation structure 313 are shown. It can be understood that the through hole 315 also penetrates through the housing assembly of the beverage machine 200 to the position of the water outlet 251 of the solenoid valve 230 .

In this embodiment, the beverage machine 200 further includes a control system, a trigger part 260 and a trigger switch 270 connected to the control system. When the cover body 300 is closed with the cup body 212, the trigger part 260 triggers the trigger switch 270, and the control system can at least control the water outlet 350 to discharge water. Specifically, the control system can control the water circuit connected to the water outlet 350 to work, for example, the water outlet 251 of the solenoid valve 230 can discharge water, and then the water outlet 350 of the cup body assembly 210 can discharge water to store water for the cup body 212. Optionally, when the cover body 300 is closed with the cup body 212 , the control system can also control the bottom of the cup body 212 to flow out the liquid into the container below the cup body 212 . Exemplarily, when the cover body 300 is closed with the cup body 212, if the control system does not receive an instruction such as brewing tea (for example, does not receive a tea brewing instruction), the control system controls the water outlet 350 to dispense water; The control system controls the water outlet 350 to discharge water when the tea brewing command is reached, or when the water still needs to be discharged after the tea brewing is interrupted. When the lid body 300 and the cup body 212 are opened, the trigger part 260 cannot trigger the trigger switch 270, and the control system at least controls the water outlet 350 to prevent water from coming out. When the system receives a tea brewing instruction or determines that it is in a tea brewing state, the water outlet 350 still cannot produce water, so as to prevent the liquid sprayed from the water outlet 350 from causing damage to the user and damage to the machine. In other words, the setting of the trigger part 260 and the trigger switch 270 enables the water outlet 350 of the beverage machine 200 to discharge water only when the cover body 300 and the cup body 212 are closed. The body 212 can only work when the cover is closed. When the lid body 300 and the cup body 212 are opened, the trigger part 260 cannot trigger the trigger switch 270, and the control system can also control that the bottom of the cup body 212 cannot flow out liquid into the container below the cup body 212, so that the user can add food to the cup body 212. .

Specifically, in this embodiment, the triggering portion 260 is a magnetic member disposed on the cover body 300 , and the triggering switch 270 is a reed switch disposed on the cup body 212 . The trigger part 260 is driven to move by the opening or closing of the cover 300 , so that the trigger part 260 is close to or away from the trigger switch 270 , so that the trigger switch 270 is triggered when the trigger part 260 is close to the trigger switch 270 , and the trigger switch 270 is triggered when the trigger part 260 is away from the trigger switch 270 . , the trigger switch 270 cannot be triggered.

As shown in FIG. 26 , the lid 400 of the beverage machine provided by another embodiment of the present invention is different from the lid 214 in that the lid body 310 is provided with a plurality of drainage structures on the lid surface 311 , and the drainage directions of the drainage structures are the same as those of the lid 214 . Point to shut-off slot 320. The arrangement of the drainage structure can guide the liquid condensed on the cover surface 311 to flow in the direction of the intercepting groove 320 , thereby effectively avoiding the phenomenon that part of the liquid flows out of the cup body 212 when the tilt direction of the cup cover 400 is deviated. In addition, the arrangement of the drainage structure can also increase the flow velocity of the liquid condensed on the cover surface 311 , so that the liquid condensed on the cover surface 311 can flow into the interception groove 320 more quickly.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the drainage structure includes a plurality of drainage grooves 312 disposed on the cover surface 311 of the cover body 310 . More specifically, in this embodiment, the drainage groove 312 extends in a straight line, so that the liquid condensed on the cover surface 311 can flow along the drainage groove 312 to the interception groove 320 more quickly. It can be understood that, in another feasible embodiment, the extension line of the drainage groove is not limited to a straight line, but can also extend along a regular or irregular shape such as a curved line or a broken line, and adjacent drainage grooves can also be arranged to intersect.

As shown in FIG. 27 , the lid 500 of the beverage machine provided by another embodiment of the present invention is different from the lid 214 in that the lid body 310 is provided with a groove 317 on the lid surface 311 , and the groove 317 is located on the lid surface. The area of 311 that encloses the shut-off groove 320 . The space of the groove 317 can also be used as a part of the interception groove 320 , thereby increasing the volume of the interception groove 320 . Therefore, when there is a lot of liquid condensed on the cover surface 311 , the grooves 317 can be provided to prevent the liquid flowing to the intercepting groove 320 from flowing to the outside of the cup body 212 across the blocking member 330 .

As shown in FIG. 28 and FIG. 29 , another embodiment of the present invention provides a beverage container for a beverage machine, which is different from the beverage container 210 in that the lid is in a closed state or a first open state with a different limiting structure.

Specifically, the cup lid is provided with a first limiting portion 370 , and the cup body is provided with a second limiting portion 2121 and a third limiting portion 2123 matching the first limiting portion 370 . When the cup lid is rotated to the closed state, the first limiting portion 370 and the second limiting portion 2121 limit each other to keep the lid in the closed state, thereby preventing the liquid in the cup from spilling or being affected by the external environment. be polluted by the impact. When the cup lid is rotated to the first open state, the first limiting portion 370 and the third limiting portion 2123 limit each other, so that the cup lid is kept in the first open state, which is convenient for cleaning the inner cavity of the cup. implement.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the first limiting portion 370 is a slot provided on the cup lid, the second limiting portion 2121 and the third limiting portion 2123 are both inserts provided on the cup body, and the second limiting portion 2121 and the third limiting portion 2123 are both inserts provided on the cup body. Both the positioning portion 2121 and the third limiting portion 2123 are connected with the cup body through elastic members. When the cup lid is rotated until the second limiting portion 2121 is inserted into the first limiting portion 370, the second limiting portion 2121 remains inserted into the first limiting portion 370 under the action of the corresponding elastic member, so that the cup lid is inserted into the first limiting portion 370. Keep the lid closed. When the cup lid starts to rotate from the closed state, the elastic force of the elastic member corresponding to the second limiting portion 2121 is overcome, so that the second limiting portion 2121 slides out of the first limiting portion 370 . The cup lid continues to rotate until the third limiting portion 2123 is inserted into the first limiting portion 370, and the third limiting portion 2123 remains inserted into the first limiting portion 370 under the action of the corresponding elastic member, so that the cup lid is inserted into the first limiting portion 370. Keep it on. Similarly, when the cup lid starts to rotate from the first open state, the elastic force of the elastic member corresponding to the third limiting portion 2123 is overcome, so that the third limiting portion 2123 slides out of the first limiting portion 370, so that the cup lid can continue to Rotate to switch from the first open state to the closed state.

In this embodiment, the first limiting portion 370 of the cup cover 214 is disposed on the first mounting structure 313 . It can be understood that, in another feasible embodiment, the first limiting portion 370 may also be provided at a position other than the installation structure of the cup cover.

In this embodiment, the cup body 212 includes a second mounting structure 2122 that cooperates with the first mounting structure 313 . The second limiting portion 2121 and the third limiting portion 2123 are both disposed on the second mounting structure 2122 .

Further, optionally, the cup body on the cup body 212 for holding the liquid is detachably connected with the second installation structure 2122 . Therefore, operations such as cleaning the cup body can be performed by only disassembling the cup body from the beverage machine. That is, in this process, only the cup body can be removed, and there is no need to remove the second installation structure 2122 for disassembly.

In other embodiments of the present application, the second installation structure 2121 further includes a fourth limiting portion, the fourth limiting portion is used for matching with the first limiting portion 370 , and the specific structure of the fourth limiting portion is the same as that of the fourth limiting portion. The second limiting portion 2121 and the third limiting portion 2123 are the same. When the fourth limiting portion and the first limiting portion are mutually limiting, the cup cover is in the second open state. The fourth limiting portion and the third limiting portion 2123 are distributed at different positions of the second installation structure 2121 , so the opening degree of the cup lid when the fourth limiting portion and the first limiting portion are mutually limiting and the third limiting portion The opening degree of the cup lid is different from that when the first limiting parts limit each other, that is, the rotation angle required for the cup lid to rotate from the closed state to the first open state is the same as the rotation angle required for the cup lid to rotate from the closed state to the second open state. The angle of rotation is different to meet the needs of opening the lid to different positions. For example, when the lid is rotated from the closed state to the second open state, the angle of rotation of the lid is 60°; when the lid is rotated from the closed state to the first open state, the angle of rotation of the lid is 75°.

Of course, in another feasible embodiment, the structures of the first limiting portion, the second limiting portion and the third limiting portion are not limited to this, so that the cup lid can be rotated relative to the cup body, and when rotated to the closed state It can be kept in the closed state, and can be kept in the first open state when it is rotated to the first open state.

All parts are located on the lid of the cup. The first limiting portion and the second limiting portion are mutually limited, so that the lid is kept in the closed state; the first limiting portion and the third limiting portion are mutually limited, so that the lid is kept in the first open state . The arrangement of the first limiting portion, the second limiting portion, and the third limiting portion may refer to the arrangement of the corresponding structure in the beverage container 210, which will not be repeated here.

The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described. However, as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of these technical features, All should be regarded as the scope described in this specification.
