[0053] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the protection scope of the present invention.

[0054] It should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" in the claims and description of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0055] The principle of the posture conversion of the present invention is to divide the whole process of the coffee capsule posture conversion into the central axis of the coffee capsule being in the vertical direction at the beginning, the central axis of the coffee capsule being gradually inclined during the sliding process, and the central axis of the coffee capsule being in the horizontal direction when stationary. The present invention combines a unique feeding structure and a slideway structure so that the central axis of the coffee capsule is controlled in the same vertical plane. During the sliding process of the coffee capsule, the central axis of the coffee capsule gradually rotates from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction.

[0056] The coffee capsule filling system of the present invention mainly comprises a posture conversion component, an extraction component and a waste capsule falling channel. The posture conversion component converts the coffee capsules put in from the vertical stacking state during storage to the horizontal state one by one, realizes the precise positioning of the capsules, and improves the automation of the operation; the extraction component extracts the coffee capsules in the extraction chamber; the waste capsule falling channel receives the extracted waste coffee capsules and part of the waste water in the extraction process.

[0057] Figure 1The figure shows a coffee capsule filling system structure, which mainly includes: a feeding hole 101, a feeding bin 102, a slide 103, a first baffle 104, an extraction bin 105, a slider 106, a first connecting rod 107, a screw 108, a stepping motor 109, a second fixing plate 110, a second connecting rod 111, a discarded capsule falling channel 112, a first fixing plate 113, a limiting slot 114, a capsule limiting bracket 115, and a second baffle 116.

[0058] The posture conversion component includes a feeding hole 101 , a feeding bin 102 , a slideway 103 , and a first baffle 104 .

[0059] A feeding hole 101 with a smooth surface is arranged in the middle of the feeding bin 102, the central axis of the feeding hole 101 is located in the vertical direction, and the diameter of the lower end of the feeding hole 101 is the diameter of the top edge of the coffee capsule, so as to ensure that the coffee capsule falls into the feeding hole 101 and leaves the feeding hole 101 in a vertical state.

[0060] A slide 103 for the coffee capsule to slide is arranged directly below the feeding hole 101. Two first baffles 104 parallel to the central axis of the extraction chamber 105 are symmetrically installed at the lower part of the feeding bin 102. The distance between the inner walls of the two first baffles 104 is the diameter of the top edge of the coffee capsule. A slide 103 is fixed on the inner wall of each of the two first baffles 104. The top part of the slide 103 is single-layered, and the middle part and the end are double-layered. The top centers of the two slides 103 are located on the central axis of the feeding hole 101, and the distance between the double-layer parts of the slide 103 is greater than the thickness of the top edge of the coffee capsule. The end of the slide 103 is a smooth arc, and the tangent of this arc is located in the vertical direction, so that when the coffee capsule slides to the end of the slide, the central axis of the coffee capsule is located in the horizontal direction.

[0061] The double-layered part of the slide 103 and the side wall of the first baffle 104 form a slide groove, thereby limiting the coffee capsule and preventing the coffee capsule from escaping from the slide 103. When the coffee capsule falls into the slide, the two slides 103 clamp the top edge of the coffee capsule, and then the coffee capsule slides down the slide 103 under the action of its own gravity and continuously tilts, and finally slides to the end of the slide 103, and the central axis of the coffee capsule is located in the horizontal direction.

[0062] The extraction component includes an extraction bin 105, a slider 106, a first connecting rod 107, a screw 108, a second fixing plate 110, a second connecting rod 111, a first fixing plate 113 and a capsule limiting bracket 115. The capsule limiting bracket 115 is composed of a second baffle 116 and a limiting slot 114, which are integrally formed. The upper part of the capsule limiting bracket 115 is the second baffle 116, which is installed on the feeding bin 102 in the posture conversion component.

[0063] The lower part of the capsule limiting bracket 115 is two symmetrically arranged limiting slots 114. The thickness of the cavity of the limiting slot 114 is greater than the thickness of the top edge of the coffee capsule. The upper part of the limiting slot 114 is in a straight line shape, and the distance between the upper parts of the two limiting slots 114 is greater than the diameter of the top edge of the coffee capsule. A major arc notch is arranged at the lower part of the limiting slot 114, and the diameter of the major arc is the diameter of the top edge of the coffee capsule. A crossbeam is arranged at the end of the limiting slot 114 to close the limiting slot 114, and the distance between the two crossbeams is less than the outer diameter of the top of the coffee capsule, thereby preventing the coffee capsule from sliding out of the limiting slot 114. The central axis of the notch at the lower part of the limiting slot 114 coincides with the central axis of the extraction chamber 105 and is in the horizontal direction. The limiting slot 114 is located below the slideway 103 in the posture conversion component and is connected to the slideway 103. When the coffee capsule slides to the end of the limiting slot 114 , it is restrained by the cross beam and the notch and stops, and the central axis of the coffee capsule coincides with the central axis of the extraction chamber 105 .

[0064] The extraction chamber fixing bracket includes a first fixing plate 113, a first connecting rod 107, a second connecting rod 111, a slider 106 and a second fixing plate 110. The first connecting rod 107 and the second connecting rod 111 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central axis of the extraction chamber 105. One end of the first connecting rod 107 and one end of the second connecting rod 111 are respectively fixed to the first fixing plate 113; the other end of the first connecting rod 107 and the other end of the second connecting rod 111 are respectively fixed to the second fixing plate 110. The distance between the first fixing plate 113 and the second fixing plate 110 is greater than the height of the coffee capsule to ensure that the coffee capsule can remain in a natural state in the extraction chamber.

[0065] Two holes are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center of the slider 106, which are respectively mounted on the first connecting rod 107 and the second connecting rod 111. The first connecting rod 107 and the second connecting rod 111 form a track for the slider 106 to slide. The slider 106 is connected to the screw rod 108, and the other end of the screw rod 108 passes through the center of the second fixing plate 110 and is threadedly connected to the stepping motor 109. When the stepping motor 109 is running, the screw rod 108 can be controlled to rotate, thereby driving the slider 106 to move forward or backward along the first connecting rod 107 and the second connecting rod 111.

[0066] The movement control of the slider 106 can also be achieved in other ways, such as using a motor gear to drive a crankshaft connecting rod and other mechanisms to achieve the movement of the slider 106, thereby driving the closing and separation of the sleeve and the sleeve cover.

[0067] Figure 2The figure shows a partial structure of an extraction chamber of a coffee capsule filling system. The extraction chamber 105 includes a sleeve and a sleeve cover 202. The bottom end of the sleeve is mounted on the center of the slider 106, and a first thorn disc is mounted on the bottom of the sleeve. The sleeve cover 202 is mounted on the center of the first fixing plate 113, and a second thorn disc 201 is mounted on the inner surface of the sleeve cover. The sleeve can move forward and backward as the slider 106 moves forward or backward, thereby approaching or moving away from the sleeve cover 202.

[0068] The central axes of the sleeve and the sleeve cover 202 coincide with each other and are in a horizontal direction. When the sleeve and the sleeve cover 202 are closed, the first pricking disc 201 squeezes and pierces the coffee capsule, and water is injected into the coffee capsule to establish a water path so as to extract the coffee; when the sleeve and the sleeve cover 202 are separated by a distance greater than the height of the coffee capsule, the coffee capsule is separated from the extraction chamber 105 and falls under the action of gravity.

[0069] The waste capsule drop channel 112 is located at the bottom of the extraction chamber 105 and is used to receive the coffee capsules after extraction and the waste water during the extraction process.

[0070] Combine the following Figure 1 The operating method of a coffee capsule filling system of the present invention is described in detail:

[0071] The operation steps of the present invention are as follows:

[0072] Select a coffee capsule and place it with its bottom facing downward into the feeding hole 101 in the middle of the feeding bin 102 .

[0073] After the coffee capsule passes through the feeding hole 101, its top edge is received by the slide 103 in the slide, and the coffee capsule slides along the slide 103 to the end of the slide 103 under the action of its own gravity. At the same time, the posture of the coffee capsule gradually tilts until the central axis of the coffee capsule is in the horizontal direction. At this time, the coffee capsule is in a horizontal state.

[0074] The coffee capsule directly enters the capsule limiting bracket 115 from the slideway 103 and slides down along the capsule limiting bracket 115. When the coffee capsule slides to the bottom of the capsule limiting bracket 115, it is stopped by the limiting slot 114 and the crossbeam in the capsule limiting bracket 115. At this time, the central axis of the coffee capsule coincides with the central axis of the extraction chamber 105.

[0075] The stepper motor 109 is started, and the screw rod 108 moves forward under the action of the stepper motor 109 , driving the slider 106 to move toward the first fixing plate 113 along the first connecting rod 107 and the second connecting rod 111 , thereby driving the sleeve to move toward the sleeve cover 202 .

[0076] The sleeve is gradually loaded into the coffee capsule and contacts the capsule limiting bracket 115 .

[0077] The sleeve continues to slide, and the coffee capsule completely enters the sleeve. The edge of the capsule is deformed by force to make the capsule break away from the constraint of the capsule limiting bracket 115. The sleeve and the sleeve cover 202 are closed, and the first thorn disc and the second thorn disc 201 squeeze and puncture the coffee capsule and inject water into the coffee capsule to establish a water path, so as to extract the coffee capsule.

[0078] The screw rod 108 moves backward under the action of the stepping motor 109 , driving the slider 106 to move away from the first fixing plate 113 along the first connecting rod 107 and the second connecting rod 111 , so that the sleeve is separated from the sleeve cover 202 and gradually slides toward the second fixing plate 110 .

[0079] When the sleeve is separated from the sleeve cover, the capsule limiting bracket 115 is reset and blocks the edge of the capsule so that the capsule cannot move with the sleeve.

[0080] When the sleeve is separated from the bottom of the extracted coffee capsule, the upward supporting force of the sleeve on the coffee capsule disappears, and the coffee capsule is separated from the first thorn disk under the action of gravity and falls into the discarded capsule falling channel 112.

[0081] The extraction process of one coffee capsule is completed, and the processing process of the above coffee capsule is repeated for another coffee capsule.

[0082] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: when the present invention is applied to an automatic coffee machine, a large number of coffee capsules are converted one by one from a state of being vertically stacked during storage to a horizontal state, and are automatically loaded into an extraction chamber, the posture and position of the capsules are accurately controlled, and the hand-eye coordination operation is replaced to realize automatic loading and extraction of coffee capsules in the capsule coffee machine, thereby greatly improving the working efficiency of the capsule coffee machine and expanding the application scenarios of the capsule coffee system.

[0083] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention.
