[0030] To illustrate the technical solution described in this invention, specific embodiments are described below.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 10As shown, the coffee machine provided in this embodiment of the invention includes an upper housing 100, a lower housing 200, and an extraction device 300 detachably disposed on the upper housing 100. The upper housing 100 is rotatably disposed on the top of the lower housing 200. One bottom end of the upper housing 100 is provided with a mounting cavity 110 for assembling the extraction device 300. The extraction device 300 is connected by a thread or can be installed on the mounting cavity 110 for brewing coffee by other means such as snap-fit. The extraction device 300 includes an extraction needle 310, an extraction seat 320, and an extraction cap 330. The extraction seat 320 and the extraction cap 330 are connected by a thread or can be connected by other means such as snap-fit. The cavity 110 is equipped with a water outlet connector 111, one end of which is connected to the connecting end of the extraction needle 310. The extraction needle 310 has water inlets 311 on both sides of its pointed end, allowing for greater pressure and stronger impact when hot water flows out, thus ensuring thorough contact between the hot water and the coffee powder inside the coffee capsule, resulting in more complete brewing. The extraction cap 330 has an extraction chamber 332 with a through hole 331, through which the pointed end of the extraction needle 310 passes and is located within the extraction chamber 332. The extraction seat 320 has a liquid outlet through hole 321 and a liquid outlet connector 323 communicating with the through hole 321. The liquid outlet connector 323 has a liquid outlet needle 324 and an extraction mesh 325. Five sets are provided at the connecting end of the dispensing needle 324. A gap is provided between the extraction mesh 325 and the connecting end of the dispensing needle 324 to form a dispensing channel 326. When making coffee, the coffee capsule can be generally between 10-15 grams per capsule, which can extract 150-500 ml of coffee liquid, or the single capsule can be mostly between 5-8 grams, with the extraction volume concentrated in 25-50 ml. After the coffee capsule 600 is placed in the extraction chamber 332 of the extraction cover 330 of the extraction device, the extraction seat 320 and the extraction cover 330 are connected by threads. At the same time, the pointed end of the dispensing needle 324 of the extraction seat 320 pierces into the coffee capsule from the middle of the bottom of the coffee capsule, so that the pointed end of the dispensing needle 324 and the extraction mesh 325 are connected. Located inside the coffee capsule, the extraction needle 310, with its pointed end inserted into the top center of the coffee capsule placed in the extraction chamber 332 of the extraction device, is positioned inside the coffee capsule. When the brewing process is started, hot water is pumped from the water tank into the extraction needle via the water pump 230. High-pressure water is then sprayed laterally from the sides of the water injection holes on both sides of the extraction needle to the inner ring wall of the coffee capsule, forming a circulation. The water flows along the inner ring wall of the coffee capsule to the extraction mesh at the bottom center. The filtered coffee liquid then flows out through the liquid outlet channel, achieving high-pressure extraction. The water flow path length during the circulation extraction process is approximately twice that of a normal direct current path, thus fully immersing and extracting the coffee powder inside the coffee capsule, greatly improving the extraction efficiency and extraction effect.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present invention, the center of the liquid outlet connector 323 is provided with a groove 327. Water flows along the inner ring wall of the coffee capsule to the groove 327 at the bottom center, effectively preventing water from overflowing the liquid outlet connector 323. The groove 327 is provided with a liquid outlet hole 322 communicating with the liquid outlet through hole 321. A connector 340 is provided in the liquid outlet hole 322. The connector 340 has an internal thread hole. The connecting end of the liquid outlet needle 324 is provided with an external thread that matches the internal thread hole. At least one flat surface 3241 is laterally opened on the periphery of the connecting end of the liquid outlet needle 324. The connector 340 and the connecting end of the liquid outlet needle 324 are connected to each other so that a gap 328 is formed between the flat surface 3241 and the internal thread hole. The coffee liquid flows along the gap to the liquid outlet through hole 321 to complete the coffee making.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present invention, the lower housing 200 is provided with a mounting bracket 210, a heat dissipation device 220, a water pump 230, a rechargeable battery 240, and a first PCB circuit board 250.

The water tank 260 is used to inject water and is connected to the inlet end of the water pump 230 via a water pipe 500. The outlet end of the water pump 230 is connected to one end of the outlet connector 111 via a water pipe 500. The rechargeable battery 240 has a capacity of up to 20,000 kWh. With a capacity of 2.5 to 3 times that of existing coffee machines on the market, including a high mAh capacity, the heat dissipation device 220 effectively solves the problem of excessive internal temperature of the lower casing 200 caused by the heating of the high-power heating plate 261. It dissipates heat during operation, preventing overheating of the lower casing and significantly improving the product's internal heat dissipation. The mounting bracket 210 has a first placement slot 211, a second placement slot 212, and a third placement slot 213.

The temperature sensor 262 is located in the mounting hole for monitoring and controlling the temperature of the water in the water tank.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present invention, the extraction cover 330 is further provided with a powder container for holding coffee powder, which can be used as a self-filling coffee powder container, allowing users to select the maximum variety of coffee types; the powder container includes a powder box and a powder cover fastened to the powder box, the powder cover has an opening, the powder box has a powder cavity with an opening at the top, and the bottom surface of the powder cavity has a powder cavity opening at the center; the powder container is placed in the extraction cavity, the liquid dispensing needle and the extraction mesh pass through the powder cavity opening and are located in the powder cavity, and the pointed end of the extraction needle passes through the through hole and the opening in sequence and is located in the powder cavity.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first PCB circuit board 250 is provided with a charging port 251, multiple output ports 252, indicator lights 253, and a switch module 254. The front of the lower housing 200 is provided with a button board 201. The button board 201 is provided with a charging slot 202, an output slot 203, an indicator light hole 204, and a switch button 205. The charging slot 202 is connected to the charging port 251, the output slot 203 is connected to the output port 252, the indicator light hole 204 is connected to the indicator light 253, and the switch module 254 is connected to the switch button 205. An external charging power supply charges the rechargeable battery 240 through the first PCB circuit board 250. The rechargeable battery 240 supplies power to the output port 252 and the second PCB circuit board 120 through the first PCB circuit board 250. The output port 252 charges the mobile device, eliminating the need to carry an additional power bank.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present invention, a switch guide post 140 is further provided inside the upper housing 100, and a spring 150 is sleeved on the switch guide post 140; a placement slot 160 is provided inside the upper housing 100 near the protruding hemisphere 134, and the switch guide post 140 is placed in the placement slot 160; a limit switch module 121 is provided on the second PCB circuit board 120, one end of the switch guide post 140 abuts against the limit switch module 121, and the other end of the switch guide post 140 is adapted to the semi-circular cavity 283.

The other end of 40 is lifted by the compression of the spring 150 and touches the limit switch module 121. When the upper housing 100 rotates 180 degrees horizontally relative to the lower housing 200, one end of the switch guide post 140 is pushed up and presses against the limit switch module 121 to switch to the coffee brewing function mode. At this time, the power bank discharge function module is disabled or restricted. When one end of the switch guide post 140 moves away from the limit switch module 121, the power bank function mode is switched. The limit switch module of the second PCB circuit board 120 realizes the switching between the power bank and the coffee brewing function module, avoiding the functional impact caused by voltage instability and other factors when using two functions at the same time. For example, when using the extraction and heating of cold water function, the battery output voltage will be pulled down because a large power is required. If the power bank function is also used at this time, it will not be able to charge because the battery voltage is pulled down.

The coffee capsule can have a single capsule capacity of 10-15 grams, extracting 150-500 ml of coffee liquid, or a single capsule capacity of 5-8 grams, with an extraction volume concentrated in 25-50 ml. After placing the coffee capsule into the extraction chamber of the extraction cap of the extraction device, the extraction seat and extraction cap are connected by threads. Simultaneously, the tip of the extraction needle of the extraction seat pierces into the coffee capsule from the center of the bottom, so that the tip of the extraction needle and the extraction mesh are located inside the coffee capsule. Then, the top of the extraction cap is threaded into the mounting cavity of the upper housing, while the tip of the extraction needle... After the coffee capsule is inserted into the top center of the extraction chamber of the extraction device, it is positioned inside the coffee capsule. Pressing the power button activates the heating plate inside the coffee machine to heat the cold water in the water tank. Once the temperature sensor detects that the water in the water tank has been heated to the preset temperature, the water pump pressurizes the hot water in the water tank and sprays it horizontally through the water outlet connector of the water pipe to the inner ring wall of the coffee capsule, forming a circulation. The hot water flows along the inner ring wall of the coffee capsule to the extraction mesh at the bottom center of the groove for high-pressure coffee extraction. The coffee liquid then flows out through the liquid outlet channel, completing the coffee making process. The water flow path time during the circulation extraction process is about twice that of the ordinary direct current path, thus fully saturating and extracting the coffee powder inside the coffee capsule. When not in use, the extraction unit can be removed and placed in the water tank. The upper casing can then be rotated 180 degrees horizontally relative to the lower casing to return to its initial retracted position. Therefore, users can brew coffee simply by touching the power button on the button module. The time / temperature adjustment buttons on the upper casing can be used to set the desired flavor, making coffee brewing quick and easy. When the user's mobile device runs out of power, it can be charged by plugging a data cable into the output port on the lower casing, effectively turning the coffee machine into a power bank.

[0044] In the above embodiments, the coffee machine is designed as an elongated oval shape. Its upper casing is rotatable, separating from the lower casing to utilize external space for the extraction device to make coffee, without occupying the internal space of the lower casing. This optimizes the internal space of the coffee machine, allowing for a larger space for the rechargeable battery. The battery capacity can reach 20,000 mAh or higher, which is 2.5 to 3 times that of existing models on the market. Considering the potential charging needs of mobile phones and other small electronic devices during outdoor use, the coffee machine's power bank function is used to charge these devices. The coffee machine of this application is portable and addresses consumers' charging needs.

[0045] To address the issue of long heating times in existing products, the coffee machine of this application uses a high-capacity, high-rate discharge rechargeable battery, which increases the heating power of the heating plate by more than 2.5 times, shortening the cold water heating time to about two minutes and greatly improving the user experience.

[0046] To address the issue of excessively high internal temperatures caused by high-power heating, the coffee machine of this application incorporates a heat dissipation device and, through structural design, forms a U-shaped airflow channel within the internal space of the coffee machine. The heat dissipation area essentially covers the electronic components, ensuring that components such as the rechargeable battery and the first PCB circuit board can be effectively cooled.

[0047] The coffee machine of this application uses a limit switch module to switch between the coffee making function and the power bank discharge function. When the top shell is rotated to a predetermined position, the limit switch module is touched to switch between the power bank discharge function and the coffee making function. When switching to the coffee making function, the power bank discharge function is disabled or restricted.

[0048] This application optimizes the structure and size design of the extraction device and the water tank, placing the extraction device inside the water tank. In this stored state, the extraction device can be placed inside, making it more convenient to use.

These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the invention to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification.
