[0027] The bean grinding assembly of the mechanism enters the coffee funnel assembly after grinding the powder. After the specified time of grinding is completed, the powder pressing assembly is used to compact the fluffy coffee powder. The specific steps of the above process are as follows: 1) Coffee bean grinding stage: The granular coffee beans are crushed by the grinding disc in the grinding cup of the bean grinding assembly, and enter the extraction funnel of the coffee funnel assembly through the powder channel to complete the grinding action. At this time, the hydraulic powder hammer is in the initial state and the powder pressing hammer is in the uppermost state. 2) Powder pressing action stage: When the motor stops running, water is pressed into the powder pressing assembly through the water pump by program control, and the water pressure in the piston sleeve of the powder pressing assembly pushes the valve body and the powder pressing hammer downward to realize the powder pressing action. That is, under the pressure of the water pump, the water pressure in the piston sleeve drives the powder pressing hammer to move vertically downward, compacting the fluffy coffee powder in the extraction funnel, truly simulating the manual powder pressing action, and completing the entire action. 3) Pressure relief stage after extraction: The second three-way solenoid valve continues to provide relatively stable pressure. After a cup of fragrant coffee is extracted, the second three-way solenoid valve is powered off, and the water circuit switches to the drain port of the coffee machine water circuit mechanism for pressure relief operation, and the pressure relief hole of the second three-way solenoid valve opens. The above means that the process of grinding → filling → pressing of a cup of coffee is completed.

[0028] The specific steps of the piston movement in the above-mentioned powder pressing assembly are as follows: 1) Under the pressure of the water pump, water enters the entire mechanism from the water inlet of the valve head on one side of the valve body; 2) Water fills the entire piston sleeve and drives the piston assembly to move into the up and down movement space in the piston cover. When the water pressure overcomes the spring, that is, the water pressure is greater than the return force of the spring, the piston assembly moves downward to drive the powder pressing hammer of the valve body to perform the powder pressing action; 3) After the powder pressing action is completed, the water pump stops working, and the second three-way solenoid valve of the water channel mechanism of the coffee machine performs a pressure relief action. Under the elastic force of the spring, the piston assembly resets upward and ensures that the entire powder pressing system returns to its position.

[0029] In summary, the mechanism includes three combined action principles and forms of bean grinding combination, powder pressing combination and coffee funnel combination, which are applied to coffee machines with grinding requirements, or coffee machines integrating grinding, Italian and American coffee. Although existing similar products have realized the action of pressing powder through motors, connecting rods, etc., it should be emphasized that: through the hydraulic piston combination control under different powder amounts, a fixed (pressing pressure = water pressure × piston cross-sectional area, piston cross-sectional area is constant, water pressure is constant at a fixed value, so the pressing pressure is constant) pressing force is achieved (good coffee making requires reasonable force to compact the powder cake in order to form sufficient resistance for coffee extraction); this is an obvious advantage, and other such as connecting rod motors need to be fixed in position to press the powder, but there will be a problem that when there is more coffee powder, it is pressed very tightly, and when there is less coffee powder, it is not pressed in place, and the action of pressing the powder cake cannot be stable, so a good cup of coffee cannot be brewed.
