Abstract

The invention discloses a detection method for coffee grounds inside a coffee maker. Equipment comprises an infrared detection device, a coffee maker grounds containing box, a coffee maker control circuit, a prompter, coffee grounds and the coffee maker. According to the detection method for the coffee grounds inside the coffee maker, the height of the coffee grounds inside the coffee maker grounds containing box is monitored and fed back in real time in an infrared detection mode, the coffee grounds inside the coffee maker grounds containing box are effectively prevented from accumulating andoverflowing from the coffee maker grounds containing box, full information of the coffee maker grounds containing box is fed back to a user by the prompter, normal use of the coffee maker is ensured,and the detection method has the advantages of simple structure, convenience in use, high sensitivity, rapid response, stable and reliable performance and the like.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of coffee machine detection, in particular to a method for detecting coffee grounds inside the coffee machine. Background technique [0002] With the improvement of people's material living standards, the demand for coffee is also increasing, especially in office or business occasions are equipped with fully automatic coffee machines. However, current fully automatic coffee machines generally adopt the method of system counting. Whether the coffee grounds are full or not, the coffee machine system is set to indicate that the coffee grounds are full after a certain cup of coffee has been brewed; however, there are two possibilities, one is that the coffee machine does not prompt the grounds during use When the coffee grounds are full, the coffee grounds are poured out in advance, but the coffee machine grounds full detection system is not cleared, it will continue to accumulate the cup volume, and when the set number of cup...

[0002] With the improvement of people's material living standards, the demand for coffee is also increasing, especially in office or business occasions equipped with fully automatic coffee machines, however, the current fully automatic coffee machines generally use the method of system counting to detect Whether the coffee grounds are full, the coffee machine system is set to indicate that the coffee grounds are full after a certain amount of coffee has been brewed; but there are two possible occurrences in this way, one is that the coffee machine has not yet indicated the grounds during use When it is full, the coffee grounds will be poured out in advance, but the coffee machine grounds full detection system has not been reset, it will continue to accumulate cups, and when the set number of cups is reached, it will still prompt that the coffee grounds are full; the other is Because of the electronic induction when emptying the grounds, when the grounds box leaves the coffee machine for a certain period of time, the system will think that the coffee grounds have been cleared, so when the user takes out the grounds box for a period of time, it does not pour out If the coffee grounds continue to be put back into the coffee machine, then the coffee machine grounds full detection system will be cleared, and the coffee machine continues to make coffee, which will cause the coffee grounds to accumulate and fill the coffee grounds box, which will seriously block the brewer and cause the coffee machine damage
