Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coffee machines, and more specifically, to an efficient automatic milk supply mechanism for coffee machines. Background Art

[0002] A coffee machine is a device used to prepare coffee drinks. It brews and extracts ground coffee with hot water, creating a variety of coffee flavors and strengths, such as espresso, Americano, and latte. Modern coffee machines often feature a variety of functions, such as automatic grinding and brewing, temperature control, and pressure regulation, to meet the diverse coffee quality needs of different users. Coffee machines can be categorized into two types: home and commercial. Home coffee machines are typically smaller and easier to operate, making them suitable for home use. Commercial coffee machines, on the other hand, offer more powerful features and higher production efficiency, making them suitable for commercial spaces like coffee shops and restaurants.

[0003] Existing coffee machines mainly supply milk by manually adding milk, pouring milk using a milk frother accessory, or using an external milk box. These methods require users to frequently interrupt the operation to prepare and add milk during the coffee making process, which not only wastes time, but also interrupts the smoothness of coffee making and reduces production efficiency. At the same time, the amount of milk poured each time is limited and needs to be added frequently, which is not suitable for continuously making multiple cups of milk-containing coffee drinks. In addition, it is easy to spill during the pouring process, affecting the cleanliness of the operating environment and causing impurities to be mixed into the milk before frothing, which affects the overall quality of the coffee.

[0031] Automatic and continuous milk supply can be achieved through the milk supply component. The specific operation method is that when the automatic milk supply mechanism of the coffee machine needs to be used to supply milk, the milk box 20 is first inserted into the placement slot 21 of the milk storage box 2, and the slide rod 23 on one side of the milk box 20 is slidably connected with the slide slot 22 on one side of the placement slot 21 to ensure that the milk box 20 is installed in place, and then the first tube body 16 and the second tube body 24 are docked with the pump body 25, and then the pump body 25 is started. The pump body 25 extracts the milk in the milk box 20 through the second tube body 24 connected to the bottom of one side of the milk box 20. Under the action of the pump body 25, the extracted milk passes through the first tube body 16 connected to the output end of the pump body 25 and flows into the milk inlet cavity 5 on one side of the cup body 3. Through the continuous operation of the pump body 25, automatic and continuous milk supply to the inside of the cup body 3 is achieved.

[0032] Automatic and continuous milk supply is achieved through the milk supply component, and there is no need to manually add milk multiple times, which saves time and energy in making coffee drinks. Especially when it is necessary to make multiple cups of coffee continuously, the timeliness and stability of milk supply can be guaranteed, the production efficiency is improved, and the needs of use are met. The pump body 25 can accurately control the amount of milk supplied, so that the proportion of milk in each cup of coffee is more accurate and consistent, which helps to ensure the stable quality of coffee drinks and meet consumers' requirements for taste and quality.

[0033] The milk can be filtered out of impurities inside the milk through the filter assembly. The specific filtering method is as follows: when the milk enters the milk inlet chamber 5 of the cup body 3, it will flow into the filter chamber 7. In the filter chamber 7, it will first pass through the filter mesh 8 on both sides for preliminary filtration to remove larger particles of impurities. Then the milk will pass through the primary filter layer 10, the intermediate filter layer 11 and the advanced filter layer 12 inside the filter core 9 for multi-layer filtration. The primary filter layer 10 is made of non-woven fabric material and can filter out some relatively large impurities. The intermediate filter layer 11 is a filter membrane made of polypropylene material, which can further filter smaller particles. The advanced filter layer 12 is made of activated carbon material, which can finely filter the milk and absorb odor molecules and organic pollutants in the milk. The plug 13 at the bottom of the filter core 9 is plugged into the slots 14 on both sides of the bottom wall of the filter chamber 7, and is interference fit, ensuring that the filter core 9 is firmly installed and will not loosen during the filtration process. When the filter core 9 needs to be replaced, the filter core 9 can be removed from the filter chamber 7 for replacement or cleaning through the pull ring 15 on the top of the filter core 9.

[0034] The filter assembly can effectively remove impurities of various sizes of particles in milk, ensuring that the milk entering the coffee is pure and free of impurities, making the coffee taste more delicate and smooth, and avoiding the influence of impurities on the flavor and taste of the coffee, which helps to ensure the stable quality of coffee drinks. No matter how many cups of coffee are made, consumers can enjoy reliable quality drinks. The filter element 9 is firmly installed through the interference fit of the insert block 13 and the slot 14. At the same time, when the filter element 9 needs to be replaced, it can be easily taken out through the pull ring 15 on the top, which is convenient for users to replace or clean. This makes the maintenance of the filter assembly simple and convenient, ensuring its long-term and effective use.

[0035] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 A frothing tube 17 is provided on one side of the machine body 1 , and a connecting pipe 18 is rotatably connected to one side of the frothing tube 17 , and a metal hose 19 is provided on one side of the inner side of the connecting pipe 18 .

[0036] By rotating the connecting pipe 18 and the internal metal hose 19 on one side of the frothing tube 17, the angle and position of the frothing tube 17 can be flexibly adjusted. Users can adjust it according to different cup heights and angles, making it easier to make coffee drinks and improving ease of use.

[0037] Working principle: When it is necessary to use the automatic milk supply mechanism of the coffee machine to supply milk, first insert the milk box 20 into the placement slot 21 of the milk storage box 2, and the slide rod 23 on one side of the milk box 20 is slidably connected with the slide slot 22 on one side of the placement slot 21 to ensure that the milk box 20 is installed in place, and then the first tube body 16 and the second tube body 24 are docked with the pump body 25, and then the pump body 25 is started. The pump body 25 extracts the milk in the milk box 20 through the second tube body 24 connected to the bottom of one side of the milk box 20. Under the action of the pump body 25, the extracted milk passes through the first tube body 16 connected to the output end of the pump body 25 and flows into the milk inlet cavity 5 on one side of the cup body 3. Through the continuous operation of the pump body 25, automatic and continuous milk supply to the inside of the cup body 3 is achieved.

[0038] When the milk enters the milk inlet chamber 5 of the cup body 3, it will flow into the filter chamber 7. In the filter chamber 7, it will first be preliminarily filtered through the filter meshes 8 on both sides to remove larger particles of impurities. Then the milk will be filtered through the primary filter layer 10, the intermediate filter layer 11 and the advanced filter layer 12 inside the filter element 9 in turn. The primary filter layer 10 is made of non-woven fabric material, which can filter out some relatively large impurities. The intermediate filter layer 11 is a filter membrane made of polypropylene material, which can further filter smaller particles. The advanced filter layer 12 is made of activated carbon material, which can finely filter the milk and absorb odor molecules and organic pollutants in the milk. The plug 13 at the bottom of the filter element 9 is plugged into the slots 14 on both sides of the bottom wall of the filter chamber 7, and is interference fit to ensure that the filter element 9 is firmly installed and will not loosen during the filtration process. When the filter element 9 needs to be replaced, the pull ring 15 on the top of the filter element 9 can be used to remove the filter element 9 from the filter chamber 7 for replacement or cleaning.

[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
