[0055] The working principle and use process of the present invention:

[0056] 1. Powder receiving stage: When receiving powder, it is the default initial state of the brewer. At this time, the brewing cylinder 20 is driven by the transmission brewing cylinder bracket 8 to move to the bottom of the powder guide funnel 15. Moreover, the lower brewing head 21 is attracted by the end in contact with the push-pull rod bracket 27 under the suction force of the lower brewing head push-pull rod 25 and the lower brewing head permanent magnet 26 below, pulling the lower brewing head 21 to the bottom of the brewing cylinder 20. At this time, the brewing cylinder 20 and the lower brewing head 21 form a cavity with an open top. Coffee powder or ground tea leaves fall into the cavity of the brewing cylinder 20 through the powder guide funnel 15. After the coffee powder is loaded into the cavity, the powder receiving stage is completed;

[0057] 2. Powder pressing stage: The cavity with the upper opening of the brewing cylinder 20 after receiving the coffee powder moves upward under the action of the transmission structure. At this time, the lower brewing head permanent magnet 26 and the push-pull rod bracket 27 are separated. Since they are attracted by magnetic force, no other action is required to separate them. The right side of the brewing cylinder 20 slides relative to the right side of the powder guide funnel 15, pushing the powder guide funnel 15 away from the top of the brewing cylinder 20, so that the brewing cylinder 20 will not hit the powder guide funnel 15 when it continues to move upward, and there is no The brewing cylinder 20 moves upward while pushing away the powder guide funnel 15, reaching the position of contacting the upper brewing head 16. The upper brewing head 16 enters the cavity above the brewing cylinder 20, and together with the lower brewing head 21 and the brewing cylinder 20, forms a sealed brewing cavity. The brewing cylinder 20 continues to move upward, compacting the loose coffee powder or other beverage in the brewing cylinder 20. In addition, the lower brewing head watertight ring 24 of the lower brewing head 21 and the bottom of the brewing cylinder 20 are completely sealed.

[0058] 3. Brewing stage: The hot water required for brewing coffee, under the action of the water pump, passes through the water inlet connector 28 and the water inlet pipe 29, and enters the lower brewing head 21 from the inlet below the brewing cylinder 20. After passing through the lower brewing head 21, it evenly enters the compacted coffee powder through the pores of the lower brewing head filter 22. Under the action of the water pump pressure, the hot water passes through the coffee powder, extracting the required substances contained in the coffee powder. After passing through the upper brewing head filter 17, it comes out through the coffee outlet of the upper brewing head 16 and reaches the beverage outlet of the coffee machine through the corresponding pipeline. Since the transmission screw 6 has a self-locking feature, the brewing cylinder 20 will not automatically move downward during the brewing process.

[0059] 4. Slag discharge stage: Slag discharge is divided into two steps.

[0060] Pushing the grounds, pushing the extracted coffee powder out of the brewing cylinder. Under the action of the transmission structure, the transmission screw 6 rotates in the opposite direction to drive the brewing cylinder 20 to move downward. When the brewing cylinder 20 and the powder guiding funnel 15 are no longer in contact, the powder guiding funnel 15 returns to its original position under the action of the torque spring, preparing for the next powder receiving and guiding. The brewing cylinder 20 continues to move downward, and the lower brewing head permanent magnet 26 of the lower brewing head push-pull rod 25 contacts the push-pull rod bracket 27 and pushes the lower brewing head 21 together. At this time, the brewing cylinder 20 continues to move downward, and the lower brewing head 21 gradually moves to the upper part of the brewing cylinder 20 cavity until it moves to the top, completely pushing the coffee grounds cake out of the brewing cylinder 20 cavity.

[0061] The coffee grounds are removed from the brewing cylinder 20 by removing the pushed-out coffee grounds. The pushed-out coffee grounds cake has now left the brewing cylinder 20 and is above the lower brewing head 21. At this time, the brewing cylinder 20 continues to move downward with the lower brewing head push-pull rod 25 and the lower brewing head permanent magnet 26. Since the push-pull rod bracket 27 and the lower support plate 4 are in a seesaw structure, the lower brewing head permanent magnet 26 moves downward to tilt the other end of the push-pull rod bracket 27, and the other end pushes the prying rod 30 to move upward. The prying rod 30 contacts the inclined surface of the edge of the prying rod 32, converting the upward movement into a rotational movement. A fixed snap ring is provided under the shaft of the prying rod 32, which prevents the prying rod 32 from moving up and down. Under the upward force of the prying rod 30, the prying rod 32 rotates, pushing the coffee grounds cake off from above the lower brewing head 21 and dropping it to the discharge port of the coffee machine. In the box, during the process of removing the grounds, the transmission structure drives the brewing chamber to continue to move downward. Since the permanent magnet 26 of the lower brewing head is in contact with the bottom end of the brewing cylinder 20, the lower brewing head 21 is flush with the upper outlet of the brewing cylinder 20 and does not continue to protrude. In order to enable the lower brewing head 21 to completely push out the coffee grounds cake, the force of the grounds push rod spring 31 is greater than the friction between the coffee grounds cake and the inner wall of the brewing cylinder 20. Therefore, the lower brewing head sealing ring 23 and the inside of the brewing cylinder 20 are only in contact, preventing the coffee grounds from falling to the bottom of the brewing cylinder 20 with only a small resistance. The entire seesaw structure is the core part of this design. The beveled end of the seesaw moves downward, driving the bevel of the grounds push rod 32 to ensure that the movement distance of the push rod can continue to increase during the downward movement, thereby being able to continue to drive the grounds push rod 32 to move and remove the coffee grounds cake;

[0062] 5. Restoring the initial state: After the slag removal is completed, the brewing cylinder 20 moves upward, and the slag removal rod 32 returns to its initial position under the action of the slag removal rod spring 33. The push-pull rod bracket 27 returns to a horizontal state under the action of the slag removal push rod spring 31 and the slag removal push rod 30. At this time, the contact surface between the lower brewing head permanent magnet 26 and one end of the push-pull rod bracket 27 is the largest, and the suction force is the largest. The brewing cylinder 20 continues to move upward, and the lower brewing head push-pull rod 25 drives the lower brewing head 21 to return to the bottom end of the inner cavity of the brewing cylinder 20. When the brewing cylinder 20 moves to the powder receiving position, the equipment returns to the initial state.

[0063] The transmission structure of the device drives the extraction and brewing structure to press the coffee powder or beverage powder in the brewing chamber. At the same time, after brewing is completed, the residue in the brewing chamber is cleaned by the residue removal structure of the device. Compared with traditional beverage brewing machines, it is easier to clean the residue and reduce the residual residue of coffee powder or beverage powder brewing.
