Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of small household appliances, and more specifically, to an air-blowing cold-brew coffee maker and a working method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Cold brew coffee is usually extracted at low temperature without being heated during the extraction process. Because cold brew coffee requires low temperature and a long extraction time, the price of cold brew coffee sold on the market is generally high. Low temperature extraction also gives cold brew coffee a unique flavor. The same beans can produce completely different flavors with different extraction methods. In fact, because low temperature extraction extracts less coffee oil, it can be kept for a longer time.

[0003] Cold brew coffee is usually made by soaking coffee powder in water at room temperature or lower temperature (for example, around 20-22°C) and filtering it. However, due to the low water temperature, the substances in the coffee powder are difficult to extract, so the water and coffee powder must be in contact for a long time. It may take 12-48 hours to make cold brew coffee with a good taste, which is very time-consuming. Therefore, how to shorten the extraction time and make the substances in the coffee powder dissolve quickly and fully in the water, so as to make cold brew coffee efficiently and quickly, is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention is to overcome at least one of the defects of the prior art and provide an air-blowing cold brew coffee maker and a working method thereof. The present invention has a simple structure, is easy to use, has low cost, is fully functional, has a good cold brew effect, and can efficiently and quickly make cold brew coffee.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an air-blown cold-brew coffee pot, the air-blown cold-brew coffee pot comprising: a brewing chamber for accommodating coffee powder and water, the brewing chamber having a brewing chamber opening, and also comprising an air supply device for supplying air to the brewing chamber, and an air guide component for guiding the gas from the air supply device into the brewing chamber, the air guide component being connected to the air supply device and the brewing chamber respectively, the air supply device being connected to the brewing chamber via the air guide component, so that the air supply device can supply air to the mixed liquid in the brewing chamber.

[0006] The above technical solution can accelerate the dissolution of substances in coffee powder in water during the process of making cold brew coffee, and achieve rapid and sufficient extraction. When coffee powder is put into the brewing chamber and the water supply device supplies water to the brewing chamber, the gas supply device supplies gas to the liquid formed by the mixture of water and coffee powder. Since the gas flows in the liquid, it drives the liquid to flow and roll, so that the coffee powder and water are fully stirred, and the dissolution of substances in the coffee powder in water is accelerated, thereby achieving the effect of rapid and sufficient extraction.

[0007] In one embodiment, in order to prevent the liquid in the brewing chamber from flowing back to the gas supply device, contaminating the gas supply device or even damaging it, the gas guide component is set to be at least partially higher than the liquid level in the brewing chamber. Specifically, the gas guide component is set to be at least partially higher than or equal to the height of the brewing chamber opening.

[0008] In one embodiment, the air-blown cold brew coffee maker further comprises a coffee maker body, the brewing chamber and the air supply device are mounted on the coffee maker body, the brewing chamber opening is arranged at the top of the brewing chamber, and the air supply device is connected to the brewing chamber via an air guide component, and is used to supply air to the brewing chamber, so that when the brewing chamber contains water and coffee powder, air is supplied to a liquid formed by a mixture of water and coffee powder. When in use, water and coffee powder are supplied into the brewing chamber through the brewing chamber opening, and the air supply device is started, so that the air supply device can supply air to the liquid formed by a mixture of water and coffee powder.

[0009] Preferably, the coffee pot body is further provided with a water supply device, which is connected to the brewing chamber and is used to supply water to the brewing chamber. Specifically, the water supply device can be a water tank arranged on the coffee pot body, and the water supply device includes a water tank located above the brewing chamber, and a water outlet is arranged at the bottom of the water tank. The water outlet is located at a position corresponding to the opening of the brewing chamber and the water outlet, and the water tank supplies water to the brewing chamber through the water outlet.

[0010] In one embodiment, the air-blown cold brew coffee maker further comprises an upper cover capable of covering the opening of the brewing chamber, the brewing chamber opening being arranged at the top of the brewing chamber, the upper cover being provided with the air supply device, the air supply device being connected to the brewing chamber via an air guide component, so that the air supply device can supply air to the liquid in the brewing chamber. When the upper cover covers the opening of the brewing chamber, the air supply device located on the upper cover can prevent the liquid from flowing back through the air guide component to the air supply device because it is located higher than the brewing chamber.

[0011] In one embodiment, the air guide component includes a first air guide tube, the first air guide tube having a first air guide tube first port and a first air guide tube second port, the first air guide tube first port is connected to the air supply device, and the second air guide tube second port is inserted into the brewing chamber to communicate with the brewing chamber, so that the air supply device can supply air to the liquid in the brewing chamber through the first air guide tube.

[0012] In one embodiment, the air guide component includes a first air guide tube and a second air guide tube, the first air guide tube has a first port of the first air guide tube and a second port of the first air guide tube, the second air guide tube has a first port of the second air guide tube and a second port of the second air guide tube, the air supply device is connected to the first port of the first air guide tube, the second port of the first air guide tube is connected to the first port of the second air guide tube, and the second port of the second air guide tube is inserted into the brewing chamber and communicated with the brewing chamber, so that the air supply device can supply air to the liquid in the brewing chamber through the first air guide tube and the second air guide tube. Preferably, the first air guide tube and the second air guide tube are detachably connected. Since the second air guide tube is deeply in the brewing chamber and contacts the coffee liquid, it will be stained with the coffee liquid and needs to be cleaned frequently. The first air guide tube is set to be detachably connected to the second air guide tube, so that the second air guide tube can be separated from the first air guide tube for separate cleaning.

[0013] In one embodiment, the brewing chamber is provided with a breathable mesh cover, and the breathable mesh cover is used to prevent the coffee powder from escaping. The breathable mesh cover is detachably mounted at a position corresponding to the opening of the brewing chamber, and the air guide component is configured to be able to penetrate the breathable mesh cover, so that at least a portion of the air guide component can be inserted into the brewing chamber. The breathable mesh cover is useful for suppressing bubbles or coffee powder in the brewing chamber so that they will not overflow, and fully dissolving the floating coffee powder in water. When the brewing chamber is supplied with air, part of the coffee powder may float toward the brewing chamber opening with the gas, which is blocked by the breathable mesh cover and retained in the breathable mesh cover. Therefore, the breathable mesh cover needs to be cleaned frequently. Therefore, the breathable mesh cover is preferably detachably mounted on the brewing chamber to facilitate its removal for cleaning.

[0014] In one embodiment, the air-permeable mesh cover is provided with a mesh cover opening, and a small cover is provided on the air-permeable mesh cover and is rotatably connected thereto, so that the mesh cover opening can be opened or closed by rotating the small cover. Providing the mesh cover opening and the small cover on the air-permeable mesh cover can facilitate the user to place coffee powder through the mesh cover opening. In this way, when it is necessary to place coffee powder, it is only necessary to rotate the small cover to open the mesh cover opening, and the coffee powder can be placed in the brewing chamber through the mesh cover opening, without removing the air-permeable mesh cover as a whole from the brewing chamber. When it is no longer necessary to put in coffee powder, the small cover is rotated to close the air-permeable mesh cover opening to prevent the coffee powder from escaping from the brewing chamber. Specifically, the air-permeable mesh cover is a circular mesh cover, and the air-permeable mesh cover includes a cover frame and a screen. The small cover is semicircular. The cover frame includes a first semicircular portion and a second semicircular portion, the first semicircular portion is provided with a screen, the second semicircular portion is hollowed out to form the air-permeable mesh cover opening, and the second semicircular portion is covered with a semicircular small cover, and the semicircular small cover is a flip cover rotatably connected to the cover frame. Specifically, the mesh cover may be a mesh structure with air holes.

[0015] The air-permeable mesh cover is provided with the second air duct, which includes a cavity and a tube portion connected to the cavity. The cavity is provided in the air-permeable mesh cover, and the cavity is connected to the second end of the first air duct. The air-permeable mesh cover is provided with the tube portion extending downward from the brewing cavity cover, so that when the air-permeable mesh cover covers the brewing cavity opening, the tube portion extends into the brewing cavity.

[0016] Specifically, the second air duct passes through the brewing chamber opening, and the second port of the second air duct is located in the brewing chamber at a position lower than or equal to the middle of the brewing chamber, so that the second port of the second air duct is inserted into the liquid in the brewing chamber.

[0017] In one embodiment, a discharge port for discharging coffee liquid is provided at the bottom of the brewing chamber, and the brewing chamber is provided with a first filter, which is configured so that the coffee liquid can be filtered by the first filter before flowing out of the brewing chamber through the discharge port; the discharge port is provided with a discharge switch, and the discharge switch is used to open or close the discharge port. Although, in a simpler embodiment, it is not necessary to provide a discharge port for coffee liquid, and the coffee liquid can be poured out from the brewing chamber opening. However, the provision of a discharge port and a discharge switch at the bottom of the brewing chamber can more conveniently discharge the coffee liquid from the discharge port. The user only needs to turn on the discharge switch to discharge the coffee liquid from the discharge port, which is more convenient to use. Specifically, the above-mentioned first filter can be a first filter net. The provision of the first filter in the brewing chamber can filter the coffee liquid so as to remove impurities such as coffee grounds in the coffee liquid. It can be understood that, in a simpler embodiment, it is not necessary to provide a filter in the air-blown cold brew coffee pot, because when making cold brew coffee, the way of filtering varies from person to person. Users may purchase disposable filter paper for filtering, or the store may give away filter paper when buying coffee beans or coffee powder, or the filter cup purchased by the user may also come with filter paper. Some users may think that setting up filters in the coffee pot will increase the work of cleaning, and they do not need to clean the filter paper after using the disposable filter paper, so they may bring their own filter paper for filtering.

[0018] Preferably, the first filter is detachably mounted in the brewing chamber, and divides the brewing chamber into a dissolving chamber located at the upper part of the brewing chamber and a filtering chamber located at the lower part of the brewing chamber, and a second filter is further provided between the first filter and the discharge port. The detachable placement of the first filter in the brewing chamber is conducive to removing the first filter for separate cleaning. The second filter can filter the coffee liquid that has been filtered by the first filter again to further remove impurities in the coffee liquid. The second filter is preferably detachably mounted between the first filter and the discharge port. In addition, when the user wishes to prepare other filters, such as when the user prepares disposable filter paper, the first filter can be removed and then the air-blown cold brew coffee pot can be used. After using the air-blown cold brew coffee pot to make cooled coffee, the user can use the filter paper he / she prepared to filter.

[0019] Preferably, a coffee cup for holding coffee is placed below the filter chamber, and a third filter for filtering coffee is provided on the coffee cup, and the third filter is detachably connected to the coffee cup. Compared with directly enjoying the coffee discharged from the discharge port, filtering for the third time with the third filter can further remove impurities in the coffee liquid and further improve the taste of the coffee. The third filter is configured to be detachable from the coffee cup for cleaning.

[0020] Preferably, the coffee maker may further include a driving device for driving the discharge switch, and the driving device is disposed on the coffee maker body. The driving device may include a driving component and a motor connected to the driving component, or the driving device may include a driving component and a solenoid valve connected to the driving component. Specifically, the driving component may be a driving rod detachably connected to or fixedly connected to the discharge switch.

[0021] A working method using the above-mentioned air-blowing cold brew coffee maker comprises the following steps:

[0022] S1: putting coffee powder into a brewing chamber, supplying water to the brewing chamber so that the water and the coffee powder are mixed;

[0023] S2: The gas supply device supplies gas to the liquid formed by the mixture of water and coffee powder in the brewing chamber through the gas guide component, so that the gas flows and stirs the coffee powder so that the coffee powder rolls and dissolves in the liquid;

[0024] S3: The gas supply device stops working, the coffee is filtered in the brewing chamber, and the coffee is discharged from the brewing chamber after filtering.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] The technical solution of the present invention can realize the rapid production of cold brew coffee. When coffee powder is put into the brewing chamber and the water supply device supplies water to the brewing chamber, the gas supply device supplies gas to the liquid formed by the mixture of water and coffee powder. Since the gas flows in the liquid, it drives the liquid to flow and roll, so that the coffee powder and water are fully stirred, and the dissolution of the substances in the coffee powder in the water is accelerated, thereby achieving the effect of rapid and full extraction.
