[0040] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features specified as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in this field can implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
[0041] The present invention provides a beverage brewing machine 1 .
[0042] In the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the beverage brewing machine 1 includes a body 10, a power device 30, and a beverage brewing mechanism 50; the body 10 is formed with a accommodating chamber 11 and an opening 13 connected to the accommodating chamber 11; the power device 30 is arranged in the accommodating chamber 11; the beverage brewing mechanism 50 is arranged in the accommodating chamber 11 and is connected to the power device 30, and the beverage brewing mechanism 50 is provided with a liquid outlet 521. Under the drive of the power device 30, the beverage brewing mechanism 50 has a working state in which the liquid outlet 521 is partially extended from the opening 13, and is exposed outside the body 10, and has a non-working state in which the liquid outlet 521 is retracted into the accommodating chamber 11 and the opening 13 is blocked.
[0043] The body 10 of the beverage brewing machine 1 can be elliptical, square, or other shapes. In this embodiment, the body 10 is elliptical. The elliptical body 10 has fewer sharp corners than a square body 10, resulting in a smoother overall surface and improved user safety. The body 10 includes an internal accommodating cavity 11 and an opening 13 on the surface. A beverage brewing mechanism 50 is disposed within the accommodating cavity 11 for brewing beverages. The beverage brewing mechanism 50 can enter and exit the accommodating cavity 11 through the opening 13, allowing the beverage brewing mechanism 50 to be in two states: extended from the body 10 or retracted from the body 10.
[0044] Furthermore, the accommodating chamber 11 and the opening 13 can be opened on the side of the body 10 or on the top of the body 10. When the accommodating chamber 11 and the opening 13 are opened on the side of the body 10, the beverage brewing mechanism 50 can be moved in the horizontal direction to extend out of or retract into the accommodating chamber 11; when the accommodating chamber 11 and the opening 13 are opened on the top of the body 10, the beverage brewing mechanism 50 can be moved in the inclined direction to extend out of or retract into the accommodating chamber 11.
[0045] Furthermore, the surface of the beverage brewing mechanism 50 on the side close to the opening 13 is made of the same material as the surface of the body 10, and the size of the side surface is the same as the size of the opening 13. The deformation curvature of the side surface matches the deformation curvature of the body 10. Therefore, when the beverage brewing mechanism 50 changes from a working state to a non-working state, the periphery of the side surface fits tightly with the edge of the opening 13, and the accommodating cavity 11 becomes a closed space, so that the body 10 provides waterproof and dustproof protection for the brewing structure located in the accommodating cavity 11, thereby improving the hygiene of the beverage brewing mechanism 50. On the other hand, the surface of the beverage brewing mechanism 50 fits with the opening 13.
[0046] Furthermore, the beverage brewing machine 1 also includes a power device 30, which is used to drive the beverage brewing mechanism 50 to switch between a working state and a non-working state. The power device 30 can be a motor, an elastic member, etc. When the power device 30 is a motor, no other components need to be coordinated. It is only necessary to install the motor in the accommodating cavity 11, and the drive shaft of the motor is connected to the surface of the beverage brewing mechanism 50 to form a drive for the beverage brewing mechanism 50, so as to achieve the operation of extending out of the opening 13 or retracting into the accommodating cavity 11.
[0047] Furthermore, the beverage brewing mechanism 50 is provided with a liquid outlet 521, which is used to allow liquid to flow out after the brewing process of the beverage brewing mechanism 50 is completed. A container can be placed below the liquid outlet 521 to achieve the purpose of receiving the liquid. Therefore, the hygiene of the liquid outlet 521 directly affects the purity of the beverage liquid. When the beverage brewing mechanism 50 is retracted into the accommodating chamber 11, the liquid outlet 521 is simultaneously retracted into the accommodating chamber 11. Therefore, when the beverage brewing machine 1 is not in operation, the liquid outlet 521 is located in the sealed accommodating chamber 11, which can effectively protect the liquid outlet 521. The liquid outlet 521 is kept in a sealed environment when not in operation, avoiding contamination of the liquid outlet 521 by dust and water vapor in the external environment, thereby improving the hygiene of the liquid outlet 521.
[0048] The technical solution of the present invention is to set the body 10 and the beverage brewing mechanism 50 of the beverage brewing machine 1 in a separate form. When in a non-working state, the beverage brewing mechanism 50 is located in the accommodating cavity 11 of the body 10. When it changes from the non-working state to the working state, the beverage brewing mechanism 50 is driven by the power device 30 to extend out of the opening 13 of the body 10 to form an operable state. When in a non-working state, the beverage brewing mechanism 50 is located in the closed accommodating cavity 11, which can effectively isolate dust and water vapor in the external environment from entering the beverage brewing mechanism 50. The internal structure and liquid outlet 521 of the beverage brewing mechanism 50 are well protected, and when in a working state, the liquid outlet 521 of the beverage brewing mechanism 50 extends out of the opening 13, which is convenient for receiving the beverage liquid, thereby improving the quality of beverages brewed by the beverage brewing machine 1.
[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the beverage brewing mechanism 50 includes a shell 51, a brewing material carrier 52 and a water outlet component 53. A brewing chamber 511 is formed in the shell 51, and the water outlet component 53 is arranged in the brewing chamber 511. The shell 51 is provided with a receiving groove 512, which is connected to the brewing chamber 511. The brewing material carrier 52 can be movably extended into or out of the receiving groove 512, and the liquid outlet 521 is provided on the brewing material carrier 52.
[0050] The surface of the shell 51 corresponding to the connection opening 13 is the front surface, and the side wall connected to the front surface is the side surface. In this embodiment, the side surface of the shell 51 is recessed inward along the edge of the front surface, that is, the cross-sectional area in the middle of the shell 51 is smaller than the front surface area of the shell 51. It can be understood that the side surface of the shell 51 is at a certain distance from the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11, and a baffle is provided extending toward the middle of the periphery of the opening 13 of the body 10, and the baffle is abutted against the side surface of the shell 51. Therefore, when the beverage brewing mechanism 50 is in working state, that is, the shell 51 partially extends out of the accommodating cavity 11, the baffle can be used to block the open space between the side surface of the shell 51 and the periphery of the opening 13, thereby preventing dust and water vapor in the external environment from entering the accommodating cavity 11 and maintaining the sealing of the accommodating cavity 11. Furthermore, the baffle is arranged at an appropriate distance from the opening 13 toward the inside of the accommodating chamber 11, and the distance is the same as the thickness of the front panel of the shell 51. When the beverage brewing mechanism 50 is in a non-working state, the shell 51 retracts into the accommodating chamber 11, and the side of the front panel of the shell 51 close to the accommodating chamber 11 is tightly attached to the baffle, which can limit the retraction distance of the shell 51 on the one hand, and maintain the sealing inside the accommodating chamber 11 on the other hand.
[0051] Furthermore, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the surface shape of the shell 51 on the side close to the opening 13 and the shape of the front panel of the shell 51 are the same as the shape of the opening 13 and the same size. This arrangement allows the periphery of the side surface to fit tightly with the edge of the opening 13, and the accommodating cavity 11 to be a closed space, so that the body 10 provides waterproof and dustproof protection for the brewing structure located in the accommodating cavity 11, thereby improving the hygiene of the beverage brewing mechanism 50. On the other hand, the surface of the beverage brewing mechanism 50 fits with the opening 13.
[0052] Furthermore, if Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, a brewing chamber is formed in the shell 51, and a water outlet assembly 53 is provided in the brewing chamber. The water outlet assembly 53 is driven by a worm to rotate by a gear, and the water outlet assembly 53 has a guide positioning, so as to achieve lifting and accurately guiding it into the capsule of the brewing material holding carrier 52. When working, the water outlet assembly 53 and the brewing material holding carrier 52 are both located in a sealed environment in the shell 51, ensuring that dust and water vapor in the external environment will not contact the water outlet assembly 53 and the brewing material holding carrier 52, thereby improving the quality of beverage brewing.
[0053] Furthermore, the brewing material holder 52 can be a capsule holder. In addition to coffee capsules, other different materials such as tea capsules and powdered capsules can also be placed in the brewing material holder 52, or the beverage brewing machine 1 can be used as a liquid heater to supply hot water without placing capsules. Therefore, the beverage brewing mechanism 50 is not limited to the use of a coffee machine, and can also be used as a brewing process for other beverages to achieve the supply of different beverages.
[0054] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the brewing material holding carrier 52 can extend into or out of the accommodating groove 512, and the groove wall of the accommodating groove 512 is provided with a limiting ridge, and the limiting ridge can be provided on the groove walls on opposite sides of the accommodating groove 512. Limiting grooves are provided on both sides of the brewing material holding carrier 52. When the brewing material holding carrier 52 is pushed into the accommodating groove 512, the limiting grooves and the limiting ridges are docked, which plays a role of limiting guidance. On the one hand, it facilitates the docking of the brewing material holding carrier 52 and the accommodating groove 512, avoids affecting the docking work of the water outlet component 53 and the brewing material holding carrier 52 due to uneven docking, and ensures the quality of beverage brewing; on the other hand, it improves the installation efficiency of the brewing material holding carrier 52.
[0055] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, a notch is provided on one side of the bottom of the receiving groove 512 near the opening 13, and the size of the notch corresponds to the size of the liquid outlet 521 of the brewing material holding carrier 52. When the brewing material holding carrier 52 is installed into the receiving groove 512, the liquid outlet 521 of the brewing material holding carrier 52 is engaged with the notch, providing a liquid outlet channel and position for the liquid outlet 521, thereby ensuring the liquid outlet quality of the beverage brewing mechanism 50.
[0056] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the power device 30 is a spring 31, one end of the spring 31 is connected to the outer wall of the shell 51, and the other end abuts the rear wall of the accommodating chamber 11. The beverage brewing machine 1 also includes a locking member 70, which is arranged in the body 10 and is located in a locking position corresponding to the shell 51.
[0057] The power device 30 is a spring 31, one end of which is fixed to the outer wall of the shell 51. In one embodiment, the outer wall of the shell 51 is provided with a protrusion, and one end of the spring 31 is passed through the protrusion and is fixed to the periphery of the shell 51. The extension direction of the protrusion is the direction in which the beverage brewing mechanism 50 enters and exits the accommodating chamber 11. The other end of the spring 31 abuts against the rear wall of the accommodating chamber 11. When the beverage brewing mechanism 50 is pushed into the accommodating chamber 11 by external force, and the locking piece 70 is used to lock the shell 51 and the body 10 to fix the position of the shell 51, the spring 31 is in a compressed state and the beverage brewing mechanism 50 is in a non-working state; when the locking piece 70 is unlocked and detached from the shell 51 and the body 10, the spring 31 changes from a compressed state to an extended state, and the beverage brewing mechanism 50 extends out of the accommodating chamber 11 with the elastic force of the spring 31. At this time, the beverage brewing mechanism 50 is in a working state. The setting of the spring 31 utilizes a mechanical structure to drive the beverage brewing mechanism 50, which can ensure the stability of the movement of the beverage brewing mechanism 50, and the drive of the spring 31 can effectively pop out the beverage brewing mechanism 50, thereby achieving the conversion of the beverage brewing mechanism 50 between the working state and the non-working state.
[0058] Furthermore, the spring 31 can be arranged on the side, bottom or top surface of the shell 51. In this embodiment, the spring 31 is arranged on the side of the shell 51. The spring 31 arranged on the side of the shell 51 can effectively avoid the interference of the spring 31 on the shell 51 when entering and exiting the accommodating cavity 11, thereby ensuring the movement effect of the shell 51, ensuring the function of the spring 31, and improving the stability of the movement of the shell 51.
[0059] In one embodiment of the present invention, there are multiple springs 31 , and the multiple springs 31 are disposed on two opposite sides of the housing 51 .
[0060] There are multiple springs 31, and the springs 31 are arranged on opposite sides of the shell 51. The arrangement of multiple springs 31 can, on the one hand, increase the driving force of the power device 30 on the beverage brewing mechanism 50, ensuring that the beverage brewing mechanism 50 can extend or retract into the accommodating chamber 11. On the other hand, the arrangement of multiple springs 31 can increase the force application area of the driving force, ensuring that the power device 30 applies elastic force to different parts of the shell 51, ensuring that the force on different parts of the shell 51 is uniform, so that the shell 51 is synchronized during the overall movement, ensuring the effect of the shell 51 moving in and out of the accommodating chamber 11, and improving the stability of the movement of the shell 51.
[0061] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 10 、 Figure 11 As shown, the locking member 70 is an electromagnetic lock 71, which includes a driving member 711 and a locking rod 712. The housing 51 is provided with a locking hole 513. The electromagnetic lock 71 is disposed in the body 10 and is disposed on one side of the locking hole 513.
[0062] When in the non-working state, the driving member 711 drives the locking rod 712 to extend into the locking hole 513 . When in the working state, the driving member 711 drives the locking rod 712 to extend out of the locking hole 513 , and the housing 51 pops out of the accommodating cavity 11 through the spring 31 .
[0063] The electromagnetic lock 71 includes a driving member 711 and a locking rod 712. One end of the locking rod 712 extends outside the housing of the electromagnetic lock 71, and the other end is located inside the housing of the electromagnetic lock 71. The driving member 711 is located inside the housing and connected to the locking rod 712. When the beverage brewing mechanism 50 is in the non-operating state, the driving member 711 drives and abuts the locking rod 712 into the locking hole 513 of the housing 51. The locking rod 712 has a limiting function on the locking hole 513, that is, it has a limiting function on the housing 51. At this time, the housing 51 is located in the accommodating chamber 11 and compresses the spring 31. When the beverage brewing mechanism 50 switches from the non-operating state to the operating state, the driving member 711 drives the locking rod 712 to move into the housing, and the locking rod 712 disengages the locking hole 513. As a result, the electromagnetic lock 71 no longer has a limiting function on the housing 51. The spring 31 naturally extends and ejects the beverage brewing mechanism 50, and the beverage brewing mechanism 50 extends from the accommodating chamber 11 and reaches the operating state. After the beverage brewing mechanism 50 is ejected from the accommodating chamber 11, the electromagnetic lock 71 returns to the state of driving the locking rod 712 to extend out of the shell, and the locking rod 712 is always held against the shell 51. When the beverage brewing mechanism 50 finishes working and is manually pushed back into the accommodating chamber 11, when it is pushed to a certain distance so that the locking rod 712 is engaged in the locking hole 513, the beverage brewing mechanism 50 returns to the non-working state.
[0064] Furthermore, the beverage brewing machine 1 also includes an electronic control device, which is electrically connected to the electromagnetic lock 71 and the water outlet assembly 53. The electronic control device includes an electronic control panel, which is located on the surface of the machine body 10. The user can control the unlocking of the electromagnetic lock 71 and the water outlet assembly 53 through the control panel, and other functions. It is understandable that when the user controls the electromagnetic lock 71 to unlock, it is a temporary control state. After the electromagnetic lock 71 receives a signal from the electronic control device and sends it to the driving member 711, it temporarily drives the locking rod 712 to retract. The beverage brewing mechanism 50 is then ejected by the elastic force of the spring 31. During the ejection process, the locking rod 712 returns to a state of abutting against the housing 51. This configuration can simplify the internal structure of the machine body 10, and the effect of locking the beverage brewing mechanism 50 can be achieved using a small number of parts, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the beverage brewing machine 1.
[0065] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8As shown, the beverage brewing machine 1 also includes a damping assembly 80, which includes a damping gear 81 and a first rack 83. One of the damping gear 81 and the first rack 83 is mounted on the outer wall of the shell 51, and the other is mounted on the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 11. The damping gear 81 is meshed with the first rack 83, and the extension direction of the first rack 83 is consistent with the deformation direction of the spring 31.
[0066] In this embodiment, the damping gear 81 is mounted on the housing 51, and the first rack 83 is mounted on the wall of the accommodating chamber 11. The damping gear 81 and the first rack 83 are meshed and connected. The first rack 83 is arranged along the deformation direction of the spring 31. By arranging the coordinated movement of the damping gear 81 and the first rack 83, the damping gear 81 increases frictional resistance, thereby achieving a deceleration effect. In another embodiment, the damping gear 81 is mounted on the wall of the accommodating chamber 11, and the first rack 83 is mounted on the housing 51, which can also achieve the effect of increasing frictional resistance and achieving a deceleration effect. In this embodiment, the damping gear 81 buffers the speed at which the spring 31 deforms and ejects the brewing mechanism 50, ensuring that the brewing mechanism 50 moves at a constant speed both when ejecting from the accommodating chamber 11 and when manually retracting the accommodating chamber 11. This protects the brewing mechanism 50 and the machine body 10, preventing collisions and detachment caused by excessive speed. It also improves the aesthetics and user comfort of the brewing machine 1, enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, the damping gear 81 and the first rack 83 have the advantages of simple structure and low cost, which can effectively improve the assembly efficiency of the beverage brewing machine 1 and reduce production costs. The damping gear 81 has the advantage of low noise, which reduces the noise when the beverage brewing mechanism 50 enters and exits the accommodating chamber 11, thereby improving the user experience.
