  • Publication number: 20220313006
    Abstract: A beverage manufacturing machine includes a heating mechanism, a brewing mechanism and a cooling mechanism. The heating mechanism heats up drinking water and sends the hot drinking water to the brewing mechanism. There are two brewing mechanisms for brewing a hot drink, and the hot drink in a primary cooling bushing exchanges heat with room temperature water to realize a first cooling. The drink after the first cooling reaches a secondary cooling bushing to exchange heat with a low temperature coolant to realize a second cooling to produce an iced drink. The coolant after the heat exchange enters into a coolant buffer and then reflows to a coolant container, and a compressor drives the heat exchanger to lower the temperature of the coolant. Without requiring high skill, this machine makes good-tasted beverages with appropriate concentration or original iced liquid beverage with great aroma.

  • Publication number: 20200305635
    Abstract: An intelligent extraction beverage cooler comprises a casing and a heating cylinder installed in the casing, a hot liquid container, a cold liquid container, a pot lid, a pot lid lifting mechanism, and a cooling system with multiple connecting pipes. The pot lid lifting mechanism drives the pot lid to lower into the hot liquid container along with an ingredient bag. The heating cylinder heats up the liquid and transports it to the hot liquid container. The ingredient bag is extracted to produce a hot beverage which is made into an iced liquid beverage by the cooling system without affecting taste thereof. This avoids bitterness or rancid taste of the hot liquid beverage. Additionally, the pot lid lifting mechanism drives the pot lid to open for convenience of putting in the ingredient bag.

  • Publication number: 20200208909
    Abstract: A liquid cooler comprises a hot liquid container, a cold liquid container, a cooling sleeve, a heat exchanger and a plurality of connecting pipes. The hot liquid container communicates with the cooling sleeve through the connecting pipes. The cooling sleeve has a double-layer structure, the inner pipe of which is used for transporting a hot liquid and the outer pipe thereof is used for transporting cooling water. The cooling water cools the hot liquid in the inner pipe once forming a cold liquid, and the cold liquid passes through the connecting pipes to reach the cold liquid container. The heat exchanger cools the cold liquid for a second time forming an ice liquid. After the two-stage cooling, the hot liquid is made into an ice liquid beverage of required temperature avoiding the bitterness and rancidity of high-temperature liquid beverages.
