For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0026] Refer to the following Figure 1-Figure 6 A coffee machine grinding fine adjustment structure is described according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0027] A coffee machine grinding fine adjustment structure comprises a grinding cylinder 1 and a grinding assembly 2. The grinding assembly 1 is located in a grinding chamber 4 of the grinding cylinder 2. The grinding assembly 2 comprises a moving grinding wheel 7, a static grinding wheel 8 and a transmission shaft 9. The transmission shaft 9 is arranged in a base 36 at the center of the grinding chamber 4. An input end 11 of the transmission shaft 9 is connected to a driving device of the coffee machine. The moving grinding wheel 7 is arranged at an output end 10 of the transmission shaft 9. A transmission plate 17 is arranged at the bottom of the moving grinding wheel 7. A pin hole 37 is arranged on the bottom surface of the moving grinding wheel 7. A pin column 38 inserted into the pin hole 37 is arranged on the inner surface of the transmission plate 17. The transmission shaft 9 drives the transmission plate 17 under the drive of the driving device to make the moving grinding wheel 7 rotate relative to the static grinding wheel 8. Since there is a gap between the moving grinding wheel 7 and the static grinding wheel 8, the rotating moving grinding wheel 7 and the static grinding wheel 8 jointly grind the coffee beans entering the grinding chamber 4 into coffee powder, and the size of the gap between the moving grinding wheel 7 and the static grinding wheel 8 determines the coarseness of the ground coffee powder.

[0028] Among them, the shaft head of the output end 10 of the transmission shaft 9 is provided with a thread assembly, which includes an external thread 39 provided on the outer side of the shaft head of the output end 11, a matching nut 40, and a gasket 41 arranged between the transmission plate 17 and the movable grinding wheel 7. The shaft body of the transmission shaft 9 adjacent to the external thread 39 is provided with a flat position 16, and the center of the transmission plate 17 is provided with a flat hole 33 matched with the flat position 16. The nut 40 is screwed into the external thread 39 to complete the end closure of the movable grinding wheel 7 at the output end 10. By changing the number or thickness of the gasket 41, the axial position of the movable grinding wheel 7 on the transmission shaft 9 can be adjusted, so that the gap between the movable grinding wheel 7 and the static grinding wheel 8 is changed without adjusting the static grinding wheel 8, so as to achieve the grinding of coffee powder of different coarseness.

[0029] Among them, the external thread 39 and the nut 40 are both reverse threads, which can ensure that during the rotation of the transmission shaft 9, the external thread 39 and the nut 40 can remain in a locked state and will not loosen by themselves.

[0030] Since the spring 14 is sleeved on the shaft of the rotating shaft 9 between the movable grinding wheel 7 and the base 36, the spring 14 always pushes the movable grinding wheel 7, the gasket 41 and the transmission plate 17 are closely attached and pressed against the nut 40, so that the movable grinding wheel 7 can maintain a stable and effective driving connection with the driving device when it is adjusted to different axial positions. At the same time, the spring 14 can also automatically adjust the balance of the movable grinding wheel 7 when it rotates to grind coffee beans, thereby improving the stability of the grinding process.

[0031] A static grinding wheel seat 18 is provided at the bottom of the grinding chamber 4, and the static grinding wheel 8 is placed on the static grinding wheel seat 18. A sealing plate 31 is also provided at the bottom opening of the grinding chamber 4, and the sealing plate 31 is connected to the lower part of the static grinding wheel seat 18. An adjusting ring 23 is provided on the threaded sleeve of the static grinding wheel 8, and an outer adjusting ring 21 is provided between the static grinding wheel seat 18 and the sealing plate 31.

[0032] Since the inner wall of the adjusting ring 23 is provided with a thread 26 and the outer wall of the static grinding wheel 8 is provided with a convex tooth 27 corresponding to the thread 26, the static grinding wheel 8 can be moved axially by rotating the adjusting ring 23 through the interaction between the thread 26 and the convex tooth 27, thereby changing the gap between the dynamic grinding wheel 7 and the static grinding wheel 8 without adjusting the dynamic grinding wheel 8.

[0033] A positioning column 22 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the outer adjustment ring 21, a positioning hole 24 is provided on the outer edge of the bottom of the adjustment ring 23, and a fan-shaped guide groove 25 is provided on the bottom of the static grinding wheel seat 18. The positioning column 22 passes through the guide groove 25 and extends into the positioning hole 24 to form a linkage assembly between the outer adjustment ring 21 and the adjustment ring 23. Under the action of the linkage assembly, rotating the outer adjustment ring 21 can easily drive the adjustment ring 23 to rotate.

[0034] In the above technical solution, the movable grinding wheel 7 and the static grinding wheel 8 can change the gap between the movable grinding wheel 7 and the static grinding wheel 8 through their own independent adjustment without adjusting the other party, so as to adjust the grinding coarseness and fineness. In fact, the adjustment of the movable grinding wheel 7 and the static grinding wheel 8 basically does not restrict each other and can be carried out at the same time. Moreover, since the adjustment of the movable grinding wheel 7 directly changes the axial position of the movable grinding wheel 7, it has a larger adjustment range and can meet greater coarseness and fineness requirements; while the adjustment range of the static grinding wheel 8 is smaller, the rotating adjustment ring 23 can achieve a slight change in the axial position of the static grinding wheel 8. Therefore, by combining the adjustment of the movable grinding wheel 7 and the static grinding wheel 8, fine adjustment under greater coarseness and fineness requirements can be achieved.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
