1. A smart energy-saving device for automatic blending drinks, adopted to inject beverages into at least one beverage cup that comprises a bar code, comprising:
a plurality of beverage barrels, each having at least one outlet disposed at a plurality of bottoms of the beverage barrels;
a plurality of manifolds, connected with the outlet, arranged to be parallel to each other, and an angle between a horizontal line and an extension direction of the manifolds;
at least one ice-storing device, comprising:
at least one ice outlet, disposed at a bottom of the ice-storing device;
at least one servomotor;
a stirring rod, one end thereof disposed at a top of the ice-storing device; and
at least one thruster, horizontally disposed beyond the ice outlet and connected with the servomotor;
a plurality of beverage stations, each being suitable for placing the beverage cup thereon and having a U-shape structure;
a plurality of collection mechanisms, disposed beyond the beverage stations, comprising:
a plurality of ring structures;
a plurality of ice inlets, each being disposed at a top of the ring structure and connected with the ice outlet;
a plurality of water inlets, each being disposed on a side of the ring structures; and
a plurality of beverage tubes, both ends of each of the beverage tube being connected with the water inlet and the manifold respectively; and
a control module, comprising:
a plurality of flowmeters, each being disposed on the beverage tube and adopted to produce flow data;
a plurality of water valve switches, each being disposed on the beverage tube and connected with the flowmeter in series;
a plurality of beverage-cup-weight sensors, each being disposed on the beverage station and adopted to produce a beverage-cup-weight datum;
a plurality of beverage-barrel-weight sensors, each being disposed at a bottom of the beverage barrel and adopted to produce a beverage-barrel-weight datum;
at least one ice-beverage-barrel-weight sensor, disposed at the bottom of the ice-storing device and adopted to produce an ice-beverage-barrel-weight datum;
a plurality of pressure sensors, each being disposed in the manifold and adopted to produce a beverage pressure datum;
a plurality of bar code readers, each being disposed on the U-shape structure and adopted to recognize the bar code for acquiring beverage data;
a plurality of infrared scanners, each being disposed on the U-shape structure and adopted to produce beverage-cup-position data; and
a controller, connected with the water valve switches, the flowmeters, the beverage-cup-weight sensors, the beverage-barrel-weight sensors, the ice-beverage-barrel-weight sensor, the infrared scanners, the pressure sensors, and the bar code readers, and receiving the flow data, the beverage-cup-weight datum, the beverage-barrel-weight datum, the ice-beverage-barrel-weight datum, the beverage pressure datum, the beverage data, and the beverage-cup-position data, and simultaneously controlling the plurality of water valve switches and the servomotor based on the flow data, the beverage-cup-weight datum, the beverage-barrel-weight datum, the ice-beverage-barrel-weight datum, the beverage pressure datum, the beverage data, and the beverage-cup-position data;
wherein each of the beverage barrels is connected with the plurality of collection mechanisms through the single manifold.
