Beverage supply apparatus
Beverage supply apparatus (100) has milk tank (3), milk flow path (L3) connecting the milk tank to beverage delivery port (10), first pump (7), air flow path (L6) to supply air via its connection portion (Z1), and third pump (9). The apparatus drives the third pump to supply air to the milk flow path, and drives the first pump to thereby deliver and supply a mixed beverage of milk and air from the beverage delivery port. The apparatus includes path (L7) for releasing a portion of the air flowing through the air flow path, one end portion of which is connected to release point (Z8) which is a predetermined portion of the air flow path between a beverage flow path side end portion (location of a connection portion (Z6)) and the third pump. The other end portion thereof is open to the outside.
Pressure sensor overflow interlock system for beverage maker
A beverage maker device is disclosed. In embodiments, the device includes an external housing and a water tank coupled to a water supply via an inlet. The beverage maker includes a manifold within the housing, the manifold controlling the dispensing of the water into a server or through a faucet via solenoid valves. The beverage maker includes a pressure transducer coupled to the inlet and capable of sensing a flow pressure of the water through the inlet, sending a pressure signal to the beverage maker control circuitry based on the determined flow pressure. The control circuitry receives the pressure signal and determines a flow volume of the water through the inlet based on the flow pressure; if the flow volume reaches a flow threshold, the control circuitry cuts off the flow of water via the solenoid valves.
BEVERAGE PREPARATION MACHINE
The invention relates to a beverage preparation machine (100), which comprises a beverage production device (200) having a cavity (222) for receiving a beverage component to prepare a beverage upon interaction with a liquid, a liquid delivery device (300) for delivering a liquid into the cavity (222) via a liquid inlet (320), and a liquid discharge device (400) for discharging the delivered liquid out of the cavity (222) via a discharge outlet (420) and to a dispensing outlet (470). The liquid discharge device (400) comprises a flexible tube (450) provided between the discharge outlet (420) and the dispensing outlet (470). The beverage preparation machine (100) further comprises a deforming device (500) configured to selectively deform the flexible tube (450) so as to restrict or prevent a liquid flow from the cavity (222) to the dispensing outlet (470). Further, the invention relates to a method for delivering a liquid through a beverage preparation machine (100).
REVERSE COFFEE EXTRACTION DEVICE USING A PUMP
A reverse coffee extraction device according to an embodiment includes a pump configured to pump water upwards; and a brewing container installed above the pump to extract coffee, wherein the water pumped upwards is delivered to the brewing container and moves upwards, and the coffee in the brewing container is brewed and extracted to an outside while the water supplied down moves up.
