AUTOMATED BEVERAGE MIXING SYSTEM

Description: An automated beverage mixing system is a small device that uses a control algorithm to obtain a combination of beverages in a defined ratio. By automating the fluid mixing process, it is possible to eliminate the possibility of human error while achieving high accuracy of the desired fluid ratio.

An automated beverage mixing system is a small device that uses a control algorithm to obtain a combination of beverages in a defined ratio. By automating the fluid mixing process, it is possible to eliminate the possibility of human error while achieving high accuracy of the desired fluid ratio. The device has two containers from which liquids are taken. On the LCD screen, the user selects the standard volume of the glass and the ratio in which he wants the mixture. By starting the process, the mass of the glass in which the fluids are mixed is first subtracted and the pumps are started which deliver the required volume of fluid from the tank, in order to achieve the desired ratio of the beverage mixture. An Arduino microcontroller with an LCD screen is used as a control device. The special feature of the device is its low manufacturing cost, it is easily portable and does not use capsules, as is the case with similar devices. The device also has an option for cleaning pumps and lines with a suitable solvent.
