Capsule falling device and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a capsule falling device and method. The capsule falling device comprises a storage box and control mechanisms, wherein the storage box is internally provided with guide channels, the guide channels are used for accommodating several capsules which are adjacent to one another in sequence and provided with capsule inlets and capsule outlets, and the capsule outlets are located below the capsule inlets; each control mechanism comprises two stopping pieces capable of entering the guide channels and telescopic driving assemblies corresponding to the stopping pieces one to one, the portion between every two corresponding stopping pieces can be used for accommodating at least one capsule, and the telescopic driving assemblies are used for driving the stopping pieces to stretch out so that the stopping pieces can support the capsules, and further used for driving the stopping pieces to draw back to make the capsules fall under the effect of gravity. The capsule fallingdevice can automatically supply the capsules, and is high in automated degree and convenient to operate; meanwhile, the capsule falling device is reasonable and ingenious in structural design and simple in structure and effectively lowers the manufacturing cost and the maintaining cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of coffee machines, in particular to a capsule dropping device and method. Background technique [0002] A coffee machine is a device that is convenient for people to make coffee. With the development of society, coffee machines are becoming more and more popular. A capsule coffee machine is a type of coffee machine. When operating the machine, put the coffee capsules into the capsule chamber to extract coffee with one touch. The traditional commonly used capsule coffee machine needs to manually put the capsule into the coffee machine every time it is brewed. The operation process is roughly as follows: first open the cover of the capsule inlet, put the capsule into the coffee machine, close the cover, press Switch to start making coffee. After soaking, if you need to brew again, you need to open the lid again, put another capsule and brew again. Therefore, this kind of capsule coffee machine usually need...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, this kind of capsule coffee machine usually needs to repeatedly put in capsules when making coffee, and the capsules cannot be automatically dropped, which is inconvenient to operate.

In the traditional technology, a small number of capsule coffee machines are equipped with capsule automatic dropping devices, however, their structural design is relatively complicated, the volume is large, the production cost is high, and the maintenance cost is also high
