Problems solved by technology

[0003] Even so, existing capsule beverage machines cannot identify whether the capsules put into the machine are used or unused. If the user puts a used capsule, the identification device can still identify the type of capsule, and the machine calls to match the The brewing program of the capsule type brews the used capsules, which not only makes it impossible to obtain drinks, but also causes waste; for capsules that can be brewed many times (such as capsules containing tea raw materials), the capsule beverage machine does not target According to the usage status of the capsules, a variety of brewing programs can be set, which cannot obtain the ideal tea drink and also causes waste of capsules. In the above aspects, the existing capsule beverage machines still have a lot of room for optimization to provide users with better use. to experience

Embodiment 1

[0060] refer to figure 1 , the capsule beverage machine used in the embodiment of the present invention is a horizontal model, including a machine base 100, a brewing head 200, a brewing cup 400 for accommodating the capsule 300, a liquid supply mechanism 500, an air supply mechanism (usually an air pump ) and the driving mechanism 600 for driving the brewing cup 400. The water inlet needle 210 and the outlet needle 220 are installed on the same side of the brewing head 200. The water inlet needle 210 is higher than the outlet needle 220, and the water inlet needle 210 and the outlet needle 220 are both horizontal Setting (horizontal or approximately horizontal form), the liquid supply mechanism 500 and the air supply mechanism are connected to the water puncture needle 210; the capsule 300 is accommodated in the brewing cup 400, and the central axis of the capsule 300 is also horizontal or approximately horizontal form.

[0061] refer to figure 2 , the capsule of the embod...

Embodiment 2

[0094] refer to Figure 5 , the structure and working principle of the capsule beverage machine in the embodiment of the present invention can refer to Embodiment 1, the difference is: in the method for making beverages in this embodiment, when it is detected that the capsule has been used in the detection step, the capsule beverage machine will check the capsule Execute the corresponding brewing program. If it is instant coffee, bean powder capsules, etc., the corresponding beverage cannot be obtained for the second brewing, so the corresponding brewing program can be the hot water function; if it is tea capsules, extracted coffee, etc., the capsule At least one brewing has already been carried out, so the corresponding brewing program can be selected to match the brewing program of the second or third brewing.

Embodiment 3

[0096] The structure and working principle of the capsule beverage machine in the embodiment of the present invention can refer to the first embodiment, the difference is: the capsule beverage machine also includes a second detection device for detecting the state of taking out the capsule. The detection of the capsule removal state provides more capsule detection information for the capsule beverage machine, so that the capsule beverage machine can set the corresponding program according to whether the capsule is taken out.

[0097] refer to Figure 6 , 7 , the second detection device is a micro switch. The capsule beverage machine detects the relative position of the brewing head 200 and the brewing cup through the micro switch to determine whether the capsule is taken out. Specifically, the capsule beverage machine in the embodiment of the present invention The driving mechanism includes a driving motor 610, a crank 620 and a connecting rod 630. One end of the crank 620 is...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for making drinks by a capsule beverage dispenser, and belongs to the technical field of beverage preparation. The problem that an existing capsule beverage dispensercannot identify the capsule use state is solved. The capsule beverage dispenser includes a brewing head with a water injection pricking needle and an extraction pricking needle, a brewing cup for containing a capsule and a liquid supply mechanism communicating with the water injection pricking needle, and the capsule beverage dispenser further comprises a first detection device for testing the usestate of the capsule. The method for making the drinks comprises the steps that a detecting step is carried out, specifically, the capsule beverage dispenser detects the use state of the capsule through the first detection device, and the use state includes that the capsule is not used or the capsule is used; and a brewing step is carried out, specifically, the capsule beverage dispenser selectsthe corresponding brewing procedure according to the detected results of the first detection device, and the capsule is subjected to brewing with the selected brewing procedure.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of beverage preparation, in particular to a method for making beverages by a capsule beverage machine. Background technique [0002] Beverage capsules for the preparation of hot drinks such as coffee, tea, chocolate drinks or milk coffee drinks are becoming more and more popular with consumers. Such beverage capsules are usually filled with extracts such as roast or ground coffee or tea leaves or one or more Soluble beverage ingredients such as instant coffee, milk powder or cocoa powder. Moreover, this beverage capsule usually also has a miniature identification code. Use a capsule beverage machine with an identification device to read the miniature identification code on the capsule through the identification device. The machine identifies the type of capsule according to the read data, and according to the determined Call the corresponding brewing mode according to the type of capsule, adjust the brewing...
