Patent Description:
Obtaining a beverage with rich taste by a brewing means has a long history in human history, which is not only a culture, but also a daily life of society. People used to make tea or brew coffee manually, but now with progress of mechanical automation and acceleration of the pace of life, application of beverage brewing devices is becoming more and more popular, some are used in office places, and some are used at home. In addition, a taste requirement of a beverage made by a beverage brewing device is increasingly high, and thus technical improvement requirements in the field are also increasingly strong. A beverage of coffee is used as an example in the present application. Coffee beverages (such as espresso coffee, cappuccino, milk coffee, white coffee, or perfumed flavored coffee) are very popular today, and may be obtained in various ways, especially in terms of their original mixtures and methods of extraction beverages. A coffee machine for making coffee beverages and a method for making coffee beverages in a coffee machine have been widely known in a conventional technology. In a common coffee machine, hot water at a specific temperature is introduced into a brewing unit or a brewing container containing ground coffee at a specific pressure, and after brewing, coffee is introduced into a cup through an output pipe for drinking. Such coffee beverages and their blends and flavors depend heavily on a temperature and pressure of water flowing through the ground coffee, especially the water temperature. If the water temperature is too high in an extraction process, excessive extraction is caused, resulting in a bitter taste of coffee; conversely, if the water temperature is too low, a sour and light taste of coffee is obtained. Stability and consistency of the taste of the coffee are directly depending on the stability of the water temperature, and various types of coffee machines are designed with an emphasis on researching a water temperature testing structure and a control method to improve the stability of the water temperature.

Similarly, in preparation for an iced beverage, a large amount of ice cubes are usually added to perform temperature adjustment after the beverage is made. On the one hand, the addition of the ice cubes reduces concentration of the beverage; on the other hand, the ice cubes are melted for a period of time, which affects drinking timeliness and reduces satisfaction of drinking experience.

In practice, due to an impact of an ambient temperature, especially in winter or summer and other ambient temperature extreme conditions, water with a set temperature entering a brewing unit may deviate from its original temperature due to heat convection or cold convection. For example, after the brewing unit is left laying for a period of time, there is a large difference between an actual temperature and a set temperature of the first cup of a beverage. The large difference causes a brewing water temperature deviation, affecting a brewing effect, and further affecting quality of the beverage; and the large difference also causes a temperature deviation of the beverage entering a cup, affecting the taste and reducing an experience effect.

Patent application document No. <CIT> provides a regular coffee manufacturing device which maintains good quality and taste and vends coffee without spoiling the flavor of coffee extracted by a coffee brewer. A drain pipeline which is connected to a waste water container through a changeover valve is branched and connected to a drink supply pipeline led out of the coffee brewer and the cylinder of the brewer is provided with a temperature sensor. If the cylinder is not hot enough at the time of vending, hot water is fed to the brewer based on the signal of the temperature sensor prior to a drink extracting process to preheat the cylinder, and the changeover valve is switched to the side of the drain pipeline to discharge the preheating hot water to the waste water container.

Therefore, it is necessary to study and design and provide a temperature pre-adjusting system that can be applied to a beverage brewing device.

In view of the foregoing shortcomings in the conventional technology, the present invention aims to provide a temperature pre-adjusting system for a beverage brewing device. Before a beverage is made, temperature pre-adjusting needs to be performed on a part, such as a brewing unit, where the beverage passes. Fluid in pipelines is controlled to make a temperature adjusting medium and the beverage output through different pipelines, to prevent the temperature adjusting medium from entering a beverage cup as far as possible, ensuring taste and quality of the beverage. In the present application, heat conduction benefit is used to perform temperature adjusting on a brewing unit or a related pipeline, for example, the temperature adjusting medium in the present application may be water or a beverage at a specific temperature.

To implement the foregoing invention objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:.

A temperature pre-adjusting system for a beverage brewing device is provided, including a host control unit, a brewing unit, and a first fluid pipeline, a second fluid pipeline, a third fluid pipeline, and a control component. One end of the first fluid pipeline is connected to the brewing unit and configured to output a beverage from the brewing unit to a beverage outlet. One end of the second fluid pipeline is connected to the brewing unit and configured to provide a temperature adjusting medium for the brewing unit; and one end of the third fluid pipeline is connected to the brewing unit or the first fluid pipeline and configured to discharge the temperature adjusting medium that has performed a temperature adjusting function. The control component is connected to a pipeline and configured to control on-off of the first fluid pipeline and the third fluid pipeline, and the control component is controlled by the host control unit. One end of the third fluid pipeline is connected to the first fluid pipeline at a connection point which is located between the brewing unit and the beverage outlet, and the other end is directly or indirectly connected to a collection container. The control component is a pump, and the pump is disposed on the third fluid pipeline. The temperature pre-adjusting system is further provided with a flowmeter, the flowmeter is disposed on the third fluid pipeline, and the host control unit controls the pump by setting a preset flow, so as to control an on-off switching time of the first fluid pipeline and the third fluid pipeline.

In a scenario where temperature adjusting is required, such as before preparing a beverage, the temperature adjusting medium is input into the brewing unit through the second fluid pipeline, the first fluid pipeline is configured to be off to prevent residual liquid or temperature adjusting medium in the first fluid pipeline from flowing out through the beverage outlet, and the third fluid pipeline is configured to be on to make the temperature adjusting medium flowing through the brewing unit be discharged through the third fluid pipeline. During output of the beverage, the control component controls the third fluid pipeline to be off and the first fluid pipeline to be on, to make the beverage output through the first fluid pipeline. Preferably, the temperature adjusting medium is water with a specific temperature.

One end of the third fluid pipeline is connected to the first fluid pipeline at a connection point which is located between the brewing unit and the beverage outlet, and the other end is directly or indirectly connected to a collection container, so that the temperature adjusting medium that has performed a temperature pre-adjusting function and residual liquid that are in the brewing unit, the first fluid pipeline, and the third fluid pipeline are discharged into the collection container to prevent contamination.

The second fluid pipeline is configured to provide a temperature adjusting medium for the brewing unit and the first fluid pipeline. The third fluid pipeline is configured to discharge the temperature adjusting medium in a pipeline between the brewing unit and the connection point of the first fluid pipeline and the third fluid pipeline. The timer is controlled by the host control unit, and the flowmeter is disposed on the third fluid pipeline. The host control unit controls the control component by setting a predetermined time or a preset flow, for example, setting a specific time or specific flow according to a length of a pipeline in the beverage device and the like, to control an on-off switching time of the first fluid pipeline and the third fluid pipeline, so as to discharge, through the third fluid pipeline, the temperature adjusting medium in a pipeline between the brewing unit and the connection point of the first fluid pipeline and the third fluid pipeline, or even the temperature adjusting medium in the whole first fluid pipeline.

The temperature adjusting medium may be used for preheating or cooling. When the temperature adjusting medium is used for preheating, a temperature of the temperature adjusting medium entering the brewing unit ranges from <NUM> to <NUM>; when the temperature adjusting medium is used for cooling, the temperature of the temperature adjusting medium entering the brewing unit ranges from <NUM> to <NUM>.

Specifically, the temperature adjusting medium may be input into the brewing unit through the second fluid pipeline before beverage brewing or after a set interval time, to perform temperature pre-adjusting on the brewing unit. In this case, the control component controls the first fluid pipeline toward the beverage outlet to be off, the third fluid pipeline to be on, and the residual liquid and the temperature adjusting medium in the brewing unit and the first fluid pipeline are discharged into the collection container through the third fluid pipeline. When the third fluid pipeline is connected to the first fluid pipeline, the temperature adjusting medium continues to be input, so that the temperature adjusting medium is output to the first fluid pipeline without temperature change when passing through the brewing unit, thus performing temperature pre-adjusting on the first fluid pipeline. Input of the temperature adjusting medium is stopped, and then the temperature adjusting medium passes through the connection point of the first fluid pipeline and the third fluid pipeline and is discharged into the collection container through the third fluid pipeline. In this process, the timer or the flowmeter is started, and the host control unit controls the control component by setting a preset time or a preset flow, so as to control the on-off switching time of the first fluid pipeline and the third fluid pipeline, and make the temperature adjusting medium in the first fluid pipeline be discharged through the third fluid pipeline. Finally, the temperature adjusting medium in both the brewing unit and the first fluid pipeline is discharged into the collection container through the third fluid pipeline.

Optionally, the following control component may be any one of the following:.

The control component is a pump, the pump is disposed on the third fluid pipeline. In this case, one end of the third fluid pipeline is connected to the first fluid pipeline at a connection point which is located between the brewing unit and the beverage outlet. When the temperature adjusting medium is discharged, a driving force is provided by the pump, and the temperature adjusting medium is pumped into the third fluid pipeline and discharged. Further, in an initial stage of beverage output, the timer or the flowmeter is used to control a delay time of the pump to be switched off, so that the temperature adjusting medium in the first fluid pipeline may also be discharged into the collection container.

The control component is a three-way valve, and the three-way valve is mounted at a joint between the first fluid pipeline and the third fluid pipeline. The three-way valve is a two-position three-way normally-open solenoid valve, and a normally-open port is connected to one end, toward the brewing unit, of the second fluid pipeline. During output of a beverage, the first fluid pipeline is configured to be unobstructed, and during discharging of the temperature adjusting medium, the third fluid pipeline is configured to be unobstructed. Further, in the initial stage of beverage output, the temperature adjusting medium still exists in the pipeline between the brewing unit and the connection point of the first fluid pipeline and the third fluid pipeline. In this case, the three-way valve is controlled to make the third fluid pipeline unobstructed, and after a time period set by the timer is reached or the flowmeter reaches a set flow, the three-way valve is switched to make the first fluid pipeline unobstructed, which can prevent the temperature adjusting medium in the pipeline from flowing into a beverage cup.

The control component comprises two-way valves, and the two-way valves include a first solenoid valve and a second solenoid valve. The first solenoid valve is mounted on the first fluid pipeline, and the second solenoid valve is mounted on the third fluid pipeline. The host control unit controls on-off switching of the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve. During discharging of the beverage, the first solenoid valve is switched on; and during discharging of the temperature adjusting medium, the second solenoid valve is switched on. Further, when one end of the third fluid pipeline is connected to the first fluid pipeline, and the connection point is located between the brewing unit and the beverage outlet, in the initial stage of beverage output, an on-off switching time of the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve is controlled depending on setting of the timer or the flowmeter, so that the temperature adjusting medium in a pipeline between the brewing unit and the connection point of the first fluid pipeline and the third fluid pipeline may also be discharged into the collection container in time.

The temperature pre-adjusting system for a beverage brewing device includes the following steps:.

The host control unit controls the control component by setting a preset flow, so as to control an on-off switching time of the first fluid pipeline and the third fluid pipeline.

Before step S1, residual liquid in the first fluid pipeline is pre-discharged.

Before step S1, the residual liquid in the first fluid pipeline may be discharged in advance.

Action timing of the control component may be at a moment when step S1 is performed, or before the input temperature adjusting medium flows to the connection point of the first fluid pipeline and the third fluid pipeline.

Action timing of the control component may be at a moment when the input temperature adjustment medium flows through the connection point of the first fluid pipeline and the third fluid pipeline and does not reach the beverage outlet.

The action timing of the control component is controlled by the timer or the flowmeter.

A beverage brewing device is provided, including any one of the temperature pre-adjusting systems for a beverage brewing device described above, where the beverage brewing device may perform temperature pre-adjusting according to the foregoing temperature pre-adjusting method.

Temperature pre-adjusting timing is at a moment before brewing a beverage, or temperature pre-adjusting is performed when the beverage brewing device is left unused for some time.

Compared with the conventional technology, the present invention has the following beneficial effects.

According to the temperature pre-adjusting system for a beverage brewing device provided in the present invention, a third fluid pipeline for discharging a temperature adjusting medium and a control component for controlling on-off of a first fluid pipeline and the third fluid pipeline are disposed for a brewing unit, so that the brewing unit is preheated or pre-cooled before a beverage is brewed, to prevent an impact of an initial temperature in the brewing unit on a brewing water temperature of the beverage due to heat convection and heat conduction, so as to keep stability and consistency of taste of the beverage.

According to the temperature pre-adjusting system for a beverage brewing device provided by the present invention, one end of the third fluid pipeline is connected to the first fluid pipeline, so that part of or all of the first fluid pipeline is preheated or pre-cooled, and in addition, a switching time of the control component is delayed by using a timer or a flowmeter, so that the temperature adjusting medium in the first fluid pipeline is also discharged through the third fluid pipeline.
