Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of household appliances, and particularly relates to a capsule beverage brewing device and a capsule beverage brewing method. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the acceleration of people's life pace, capsule beverages which can be quickly brewed and have good taste are more and more favored by people. The so-called capsule beverage is to pre-encapsulate beverage powder in a capsule, such as coffee powder and other brewing powder. During brewing, the capsule is directly placed in the brewing device, and then the pusher pushes the capsule to move to the piercing member. After a series of operations such as piercing and water flushing of the capsule by the piercing member, the beverage is output, and finally the used capsule is taken out. At present, most of the brewing devices take out the capsule by setting a hook or barb to hold the edge of the capsule to separate the capsule from the pusher, so that the capsule can automatically fall out of the brewing device. However, during the movement of the capsule to the piercing member during brewing, the edge of the capsule needs to be forcibly elastically passed through the hook or barb, and the edge of the capsule is prone to deformation, which causes the hook or barb to fail to reliably hold the edge of the capsule, so that the capsule cannot be separated from the pusher and automatically falls out after the brewing of the capsule beverage is completed.

[0056] As shown in the drawings, a capsule beverage brewing device comprises a main body 10, a clamping mechanism 20 mounted on the main body 10, a pushing seat 30 sliding on the main body 10, a first piercing liquid guide 40 mounted on the pushing seat 30, an ejection mechanism 60 mounted on the main body 10, and a second piercing liquid guide 50 mounted on the main body 10. The ejection mechanism 60 comprises an ejection seat 61 for moving along an edge 81 of a capsule 80. The pushing seat 30 slides forward and backward on the main body 10 and drives the first piercing liquid guide 40 to slide forward and backward, so that the first piercing liquid guide 40 can approach or move away from the second piercing liquid guide 50. Both the first piercing liquid guide 40 and the second piercing liquid guide 50 can pierce the capsule 80. After the first piercing liquid guide 40 injects liquid into the capsule 80 for brewing, the liquid flows out from the second piercing liquid guide 50, or after the second piercing liquid guide 50 injects liquid into the capsule 80 for brewing, the liquid flows out from the first piercing liquid guide 40. In this embodiment, the first piercing liquid guide 40 is a liquid injection guide, and the second piercing liquid guide 50 is a liquid outlet guide. Figures 1 to 4 The pushing seat 30 is provided with a clamping groove 31. When the pushing seat 30 moves, the clamping groove 31 is sleeved on the capsule 80 and drives the capsule 80 to move forward and backward. The first piercing liquid guide 40 is mounted in the clamping groove 31. The main body 10 has a material falling port 15. During brewing, the capsule 80 is placed between the pushing seat 30 and the second piercing liquid guide 50 and clamped by the clamping mechanism 20. The second piercing liquid guide 50 is arranged above the material falling port 15 and spaced apart from the pushing seat 30. After brewing, the capsule 80 is separated from the main body 10 through the material falling port 15 under the action of gravity.

[0057] ​

[0058] The ejection seat 61, the clamping mechanism 20, and the second piercing liquid guide 50 are sequentially arranged along the moving path of the pushing seat 30. When the pushing seat 30 moves towards the second piercing liquid guide 50, it first passes through the ejection seat 61 and the clamping mechanism 20, and finally reaches the second piercing liquid guide 50. When the pushing seat 30 moves away from the second piercing liquid guide 50, it first passes through the clamping mechanism 20 and then the ejection seat 61. The ejection seat 61 pushes the edge 81 of the capsule 80 on the pushing seat 30 to separate the pushing seat 30 from the capsule 80, and the capsule 80 is separated from the dropping opening 15.

[0059] In use, the capsule 80 is first placed between the pushing seat 30 and the second piercing liquid guide 50 in the main body 10, and then the clamping mechanism 20 is driven to clamp the edge 81 of the capsule 80 to prevent the capsule 80 from falling off the dropping opening 15. The clamping mechanism 20 is located between the ejection seat 61 and the second piercing liquid guide 50, so at this time the edge 81 of the capsule 80 is located between the ejection seat 61 and the second piercing liquid guide 50. When the capsule 80 moves towards the second piercing liquid guide 50, the edge 81 of the capsule 80 does not need to forcibly and elastically pass through the ejection seat 61, and the edge 81 of the capsule 80 will not be damaged. When the capsule 80 moves reversely through the ejection seat 61, the ejection seat 61 can stop the edge 81 of the capsule 80.

[0060] After the clamping mechanism 20 clamps the edge 81 of the capsule 80, the pushing seat 30 is driven to slide forward, so that the capsule 80 falls into the clamping groove 31 and the pushing seat 30 triggers the clamping mechanism 20 to release the capsule 80, thereby causing the pushing seat 30 to drive the capsule 80 to move towards the second piercing liquid guide 50. When the capsule 80 is clamped between the first piercing liquid guide 40 and the second piercing liquid guide 50 and the first piercing liquid guide 40 pierces into the capsule 80, the pushing seat 30 stops sliding forward. The first piercing liquid guide 40 injects liquid into the capsule 80, and the liquid is generally boiling water or warm water. The liquid mixes with the powder in the capsule 80, such as coffee powder, to complete brewing. When the capsule 80 is filled with liquid to a certain amount, the capsule 80 expands, causing the second piercing liquid guide 50 to also pierce into the capsule 80. The mixed liquid after brewing flows out of the second piercing liquid guide 50 and finally reaches the user's container to complete the brewing work. After the brewing work is completed, the pushing seat 30 is driven to move the capsule 80 backward. When the edge 81 of the capsule 80 reaches the ejection seat 61, the ejection seat 61 stops the edge 81 of the capsule 80 from moving backward because the ejection seat 61 is located on the moving path of the edge 81 of the capsule 80. The capsule 80 is separated from the clamping groove 31 of the pushing seat 30, the capsule 80 is separated from the pushing seat 30, and the capsule 80 is free-falling under the action of gravity and leaves the main body 10 from the dropping opening 15.

[0061] The above-mentioned pushing seat 30 triggers the clamping mechanism 20 to release the capsule 80 in multiple ways, for example; a sensor can be arranged on the clamping groove 31 of the pushing seat 30, and when the capsule 80 is clamped into the clamping groove 31, the sensor controls the clamping mechanism 20 to release the capsule 80. The main body 10 can also be provided with a sensor to sense the position of the pushing seat 30, and the clamping mechanism 20 releases the capsule 80 after the pushing seat 30 reaches the specified position. The pushing seat 30 can also be provided with a first trigger, and the main body 10 or the clamping mechanism 20 is provided with a second trigger, and the first trigger triggers the second trigger to make the clamping mechanism 20 release the capsule 80 when the pushing seat 30 moves to a certain position. Of course, the user can also choose to manually control the clamping mechanism 20 to release the capsule 80 after the capsule 80 is clamped into the clamping groove 31. The clamping mechanism 20 is clamped by various means such as air cylinder.

[0062] Specifically, in some embodiments, the clamping mechanism 20 includes a clamping seat 21, a first spring 22; the clamping seat 21 is provided with a first sliding shaft, the first sliding shaft is slidably arranged on the main body 10, and the first spring 22 is sleeved on the first sliding shaft. The number of clamping seats 21 and the number of first springs 22 are at least one, and the number of clamping seats 21 and the number of first springs 22 are one-to-one corresponding. When the number of clamping seats 21 and the number of first springs 22 are only one, the clamping seat 21 will top the edge 81 of the capsule 80 on the main body 10.

[0063] In this embodiment, the number of clamping seats 21 and the number of first springs 22 are four respectively, and the two clamping seats 21 in each group are symmetrically arranged, one group is arranged above the other group, and the two clamping seats 21 arranged oppositely clamps the edge 81 of the capsule 80 by the elastic force of the first spring 22. The pushing seat 30 is arranged between the two oppositely arranged clamping seats 21, and the clamping seat 21 slides left and right.

[0064] The clamping seat 21 is slidably arranged on the main body 10 through the first sliding shaft, and the clamping seat 21 slides along the axis direction of the first spring 22, and the axis of the first spring 22 is arranged at ninety degrees with the sliding direction of the pushing seat 30. The first spring 22 is clamped between the clamping seat 21 and the main body 10; the clamping seat 21 is reset by the first spring 22, and the clamping seat 21 is located on the moving path of the pushing seat 30. When the pushing seat 30 moves towards the second puncture liquid guide 50, it can push the clamping seat 21 to compress the first spring 22, so as to make the clamping seat 21 release the edge 81 of the capsule 80, and then make the pushing seat 30 push the capsule 80 to move towards the second puncture liquid guide 50.

[0065] Specifically, in some embodiments, the clamping seat 21 is provided with a clamping gap 211, the width of the clamping gap 211 is adapted to the edge 81 of the capsule 80, the clamping gap 211 penetrates the clamping seat 21 from top to bottom, and the side wall of the clamping gap 211 limits the capsule 80 in the front-back direction.

[0066] Specifically, in some embodiments, the clamping seat 21 is provided with a first pushing surface, which facilitates the pushing of the clamping seat 21 by the pushing seat 30 along the axis direction of the first spring 22, and the first pushing surface is a spherical surface or an inclined surface, etc.

[0067] In the embodiment, the first pushing surface is an inclined surface, that is, the clamping seat 21 is provided with a first top opening inclined surface 212, the pushing seat 30 is provided with a second top opening inclined surface 32 adapted to the first top opening inclined surface 212, and the first top opening inclined surface 212 is located on the moving path of the second top opening inclined surface 32. The first top opening inclined surface 212 and the second top opening inclined surface 32 both extend in the direction away from the second puncture liquid guide 50 and away from the pushing seat 30.

[0068] Specifically, in some embodiments, the ejection mechanism 60 further comprises a sliding seat 62 and a second spring 63, the sliding seat 62 is provided with a second sliding shaft, and the second spring 63 is sleeved on the second sliding shaft. The sliding seat 62 is slidably arranged on the main body 10, the sliding direction of the sliding seat 62 is the same as the sliding direction of the pushing seat 30, the axis direction of the second spring 63 is the same as the sliding direction of the pushing seat 30, and the sliding seat 62 and the pushing seat 30 slide forward and backward. The outer surface of the main body 10 is provided with a positioning block, the second spring 63 is clamped between the sliding seat 62 and the positioning block of the main body 10. The ejection seat 61 is installed on the sliding seat 62 and located on the moving path of the pushing seat 30. When the pushing seat 30 moves forward, the ejection seat 61 can be pushed to move forward, the second spring 63 is compressed, the pushing seat 30 moves backward after brewing, the ejection seat 61 is reset under the action of the second spring 63, the ejection seat 61 moves backward to the initial position and stops moving, and the capsule 80 continues to move with the pushing seat 30 until the edge 81 of the capsule 80 abuts against the ejection seat 61.

[0069] Specifically, in some embodiments, in order to adapt to the capsule 80 with a smaller edge 81 width, for example, the edge 81 width of the capsule 80 is slightly larger than the width of the clamping groove 31, a top outlet 33 is arranged at the edge of the clamping groove 31; the top outlet 33 is in communication with the clamping groove 31. The ejection seat 61 has an ejection plate 611, which is located in the movement path of the top outlet 33. When the pushing seat 30 moves and abuts against the ejection seat 61, the ejection plate 611 enters the top outlet 33, and the pushing seat 30 pushes the ejection plate 611 with the inner wall of the top outlet 33. At this time, the ejection plate 611 is located in the area enclosed by the edge 81 of the capsule 80 and the inner wall of the top outlet 33. When the pushing seat 30 does not move, the ejection plate 611 cannot move either. When the ejection plate 611 moves back to the initial position under the action of the second spring 63, the ejection plate 611 directly abuts against the edge 81 of the capsule 80, realizing the separation of the capsule 80 and the pushing seat 30.

[0070] As shown in Figures 5 to 12 Specifically, in some embodiments, the pushing seat 30 moves along the first direction and the second direction, the first direction and the second direction are opposite, the first direction is the forward direction, and the second direction is the backward direction. The ejection seat 61 and the clamping seat 21 are arranged along the first direction in sequence and are both located in the movement path of the pushing seat 30. The ejection seat 61 is provided with the clamping seat 21 above and below, the pushing seat 30 first pushes the ejection seat 61 to move forward, and then pushes the clamping seat 21 to move left and right.

[0071] When the pushing seat 30 moves along the first direction, the pushing seat 30 slides forward and makes the capsule 80 enter the clamping groove 31. The pushing seat 30 pushes the ejection seat 61 to move along the first direction at the same time, and pushes the clamping seat 21 to move along the axis direction of the first spring 22, so that the pushing seat 30 can drive the capsule 80 to move.

[0072] When the pushing seat 30 moves along the second direction, the pushing seat 30 drives the capsule 80 to move backward, the clamping seat 21 resets under the action of the first spring 22, the ejection seat 61 resets under the action of the second spring 63, and the clamping seat 21 and the ejection seat 61 form a limiting ejection space 90. The pushing seat 30 uses the clamping groove 31 to transport the capsule 80, when the pushing seat 30 opens the clamping seat 21, the depth of the capsule 80 entering the clamping groove 31 is shallow, when the pushing seat 30 drives the capsule 80 to move forward to the second puncture liquid guide 50, the capsule 80 abuts on the capsule 80, so that the depth of the capsule 80 entering the clamping groove 31 is deep, that is, when the pushing seat 30 drives the capsule 80 to move backward through the clamping seat 21, the depth of the capsule 80 entering the clamping groove 31 is greater than the depth of the capsule 80 entering the clamping groove 31 when the pushing seat 30 opens the clamping seat 21, therefore, when the pushing seat 30 drives the capsule 80 to move backward through the clamping seat 21 after brewing is completed, the pushing seat 30 also abuts on the clamping seat 21, the clamping seat 21 has not completely reset, the clamping seat 21 cannot clamp the edge 81 of the capsule 80, when the edge 81 of the capsule 80 passes through the clamping seat 21 to the limiting ejection space 90, the opposite clamping seat 21 resets completely, since the edge 81 of the capsule 80 passes through the clamping seat 21 to the limiting ejection space 90 at this time, the edge 81 of the capsule 80 cannot be clamped by the opposite clamping seat 21 and cannot fall off. When the edge 81 of the capsule 80 enters the limiting ejection space 90 and continues to move backward, it abuts on the ejection plate 611, so that the capsule 80 is separated from the clamping groove 31 of the pushing seat 30, the capsule 80 and the pushing seat 30 are separated, and finally the capsule 80 and the main body 10 are separated under the action of gravity.

[0073] Specifically, in some embodiments, the ejection mechanism 60 is provided with two and symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the main body 10.

[0074] Specifically, in some embodiments, the pushing seat 30 can also first push the ejection seat 61 to move, and the ejection seat 61 pushes the clamping seat 21 to move, so that the movements of the pushing seat 30, the ejection seat 61 and the clamping seat 21 are related to each other, and the coordination and unity of the movements of the pushing seat 30, the ejection seat 61 and the clamping seat 21 are improved.

[0083] Specifically, in some embodiments, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are both provided with a first sliding channel 16, and the first sliding channel 16 extends along the moving direction of the pushing seat 30. The first sliding channel 16 on the first shell 11 and the first sliding channel 16 on the second shell 12 are oppositely arranged. The pushing seat 30 is slidably arranged in the two first sliding channels 16. In this embodiment, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are both provided with two first sliding channels 16, and the two first sliding channels 16 on the first shell 11 are arranged in an upper and lower interval, and the two first sliding channels 16 on the second shell 12 are arranged in an upper and lower interval.

[0084] Specifically, in some embodiments, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are both provided with a second sliding channel 17. The second sliding channel 17 extends along the axis direction of the first spring 22, and the oppositely arranged two clamping seats 21 are slidably arranged in the second sliding channel 17 through the first sliding shaft.

[0085] Specifically, in some embodiments, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are both provided with a third sliding channel 18, and the first sliding channel 16 extends along the moving direction of the pushing seat 30. The first sliding channel 16 on the first shell 11 and the first sliding channel 16 on the second shell 12 are oppositely arranged.

[0089] The handle 75 of the drive mechanism 70 can cover the slot at the upper end of the material feeding channel 14. When the handle 75 is turned to cover the slot of the material feeding channel 14, the feeding action of the capsule 80 is completed at the same time, and then the capsule 80 is brewed through the first piercing liquid guide 40 and the second piercing liquid guide 50. After the brewing is completed, the handle 75 is turned to open the slot at the upper end of the material feeding channel 14 to complete the separation of the capsule 80, and the capsule 80 falls from the material dropping port 15.

[0090] Key reference Figures 5 to 12 , a capsule beverage brewing method, the working process is as follows:

[0091] Turn the handle 75 to open the material feeding channel 14, and place the capsule 80 to be brewed in the material feeding channel 14. The edge 81 of the capsule 80 follows the first guide groove 111 and the second guide groove 121 and falls into the clamping gap 211 of the clamping seat 21, and the clamping seat 21 jointly clamps the edge 81 of the capsule 80.

[0092] The drive pushes the material seat 30 to move so that the capsule 80 is clamped into the clamping groove 31. As the material seat 30 continues to move, the volume of the capsule 80 in the clamping groove 31 increases.

[0093] When the material seat 30 moves to the clamping seat 21, the clamping mechanism 20 releases the edge 81 of the capsule 80, and the material seat 30 drives the capsule 80 to move towards the second piercing liquid guide 50. Until the second piercing liquid guide 50 and the first piercing liquid guide 40 jointly clamp the capsule 80 and the first piercing liquid guide 40 penetrates into the capsule 80, in order to prevent the second piercing liquid guide 50 from flowing out too fast and causing insufficient brewing time, the second piercing liquid guide 50 does not need to penetrate into the capsule temporarily. In addition, in some schemes, the first piercing liquid guide 40 and the second piercing liquid guide 50 can also penetrate into the capsule at the same time.

[0094] The liquid injected into the capsule 80 by the first piercing liquid guide 40 brews the powder in the capsule 80 to form a mixed liquid, and the capsule 80 gradually expands, so that the second piercing liquid guide 50 penetrates into the capsule 80, and the mixed liquid flows out from the second piercing liquid guide 50, and the brewing is completed.

[0095] The pushing seat 30 drives the capsule 80 to move in a direction away from the second piercing liquid guide 50. When the capsule 80 moves to the limiting ejection space 90 between the clamping seat 21 and the ejection seat 61, the clamping seat 21 is reset, the ejection seat 61 is located on the moving path of the edge 81 of the capsule 80, the ejection seat 61 abuts against the edge 81 of the capsule 80, the capsule 80 is separated from the pushing seat 30, and the capsule 80 falls from the dropping opening 15 and leaves the main body 10.

[0096] The above embodiments are not exhaustive enumeration based on the present application, and there can be a plurality of other embodiments not listed. Any replacement and improvement made without violating the concept of the present application is within the protection scope of the present application.
