[0058] The grinding cavity 6 is also provided with a powder cleaning assembly 26, the powder cleaning assembly 26 includes a base 27, the base 27 is circular, the base 27 is coaxially arranged with the inner conical knife assembly 8 and rotates synchronously, the base 27 is arranged directly below the outer conical knife assembly 7 and the inner conical knife assembly 8, a plurality of soft rubber sheets 28 are arranged on the outer periphery of the base 27, the soft rubber sheets 28 extend out of the base 27 and abut against the inner circumferential wall of the annular support 10, the soft rubber sheets 28 rotate synchronously with the base 27, and the powder passing channel 9 is arranged outside the base 27 and the soft rubber sheets 28. The coffee powder formed after the cooperation of the outer conical knife assembly 7 and the inner conical knife assembly 8 falls on the end face of the base 27, and then is transferred to the space formed by the annular support 10, the bottom 4 and the outer periphery of the base 27 under the centrifugal force of the high-speed rotation of the base 27, and then is cleaned by the wind brought by the high-speed rotation of the soft rubber sheets 28 and the cleaning of the soft rubber sheets 28, so that the coffee powder in the grinding cavity 6 can be conveniently swept into the blanking channel 2.

[0059] In the embodiment, the base 27 is provided with a clamping groove 29, the soft rubber sheet 28 includes a clamping portion 30 and an extending portion 31, the clamping portion 30 is clamped in the clamping groove 29, and the extending portion 31 extends out of the clamping groove 29 and abuts against the inner circumferential wall of the annular support 10, wherein the thickness of the extending portion 31 gradually decreases from the end close to the clamping portion 30 to the end away from the clamping portion 30.

[0060] Due to the elasticity of the soft rubber sheet 28, during high-speed rotation, the end of the protruding part 31 can extend into the powder channel 9 and rotate at high speed in the powder channel 9, further improving the cleaning effect of the coffee powder.

[0061] In this embodiment, the soft rubber sheet 28 also contacts the upper end of the bottom 4 to avoid the residue of coffee powder in the grinding cavity 6 as much as possible.

[0062] The end face of the base 27 directly opposite the inner cone cutter assembly 8 is provided with a plurality of radial ribs 32, which are arranged correspondingly or staggered with the soft rubber sheet 28. In this embodiment, the radial ribs 32 are arranged correspondingly with the soft rubber sheet 28, and the radial ribs 32 and the soft rubber sheet 28 are uniformly distributed according to the shaft of the base 27.

[0063] The base 27 is provided with a coaxially arranged connecting seat 33, which is detachably assembled with the inner cone cutter assembly 8. In this embodiment, the connecting seat 33 is provided with a plurality of insertion columns 34, the inner cone cutter assembly 8 is arranged on the connecting seat 33, the same connecting shaft is arranged in the base 27, the connecting seat 33 and the inner cone cutter assembly 8, the insertion columns 34 are uniformly distributed around the connecting shaft and inserted into the inner cone cutter assembly 8, and the lower end of the base 27 is provided with a connecting piece connected with the driving device and extending out of the grinding cavity 6. Through the cooperation of the insertion columns 34 and the inner cone cutter assembly 8, the detachable assembly between the connecting seat 33 and the inner cone cutter assembly 8 is realized, and the synchronous high-speed rotation of the base 27 and the inner cone cutter assembly 8 is ensured.

[0064] In this embodiment, the radial ribs 32 extend radially from the outer periphery of the connecting seat 33, and part of the radial ribs 32 are exposed outside the base 27 and close to the annular support 10. In this way, the radial ribs 32 can form radial wind when the base 27 rotates at high speed, so as to sweep the coffee powder on the end face of the base 27 to the outer periphery of the base 27 as much as possible. The radial wind generated by the radial ribs 32 exposed outside the base 27 can make the coffee powder on the outer periphery of the base 27 easily swept into the dropping channel 2 by the radial wind, and the clamping groove 29 extends from the base 27 to the outer end of the radial rib 32.

[0065] In this embodiment, the height of the powder channel 9 is greater than or equal to the height from the upper end of the radial rib 32 to the upper end of the bottom 4.

[0066] The outer conical cutter assembly 7 is peripherally sleeved with a sealing ring 35, which is close to the lower end of the outer conical cutter assembly 7, and is in interference fit with the annular support 10. The base 27, the soft rubber sheet 28 and the radial rib 32 are all arranged below the sealing ring 35, i.e. the powder cleaning assembly 26 is arranged below the sealing ring 35.

[0067] In this embodiment, the sealing ring 35 comprises a body 36, a positioning block 37 and a clamping block 38 arranged peripherally on the body 36. The positioning block 37 is adapted to the notch 11, and the clamping block 38 is adapted to the clamping hole 12. When the sealing ring 35 is in interference fit with the annular support 10, the body 36 is in sealing contact with the inner circumferential wall of the annular support 10, the positioning block 37 is clamped in the notch 11, and the clamping block 38 is clamped in the clamping hole 12. The positioning block 37 and the notch 11 are both T-shaped. In this way, the coffee powder that falls downward after the outer conical cutter assembly 7 and the inner conical cutter assembly 8 are ground cannot run out from the gap between the outer conical cutter assembly 7 and the annular support 10, thereby reducing the waste of coffee powder.

[0068] The coffee grinder further comprises a control panel electrically connected with the motor 20, the limit switch 24, the brewing device and a driving device for driving the inner cone cutter assembly 7 and the base 27 to rotate at high speed.After the coffee beans are put into the grinding cavity 6, the control panel starts the driving device, which drives the inner conical cutter assembly 7 and the base 27 to rotate at high speed. The outer conical cutter assembly 7 and the inner conical cutter assembly 8 grind the coffee beans to form coffee powder, which falls on the end face of the base 27. Under the action of the centrifugal force of the base 27 and the radial wind generated by the radial ribs 32, the coffee powder on the end face of the base 27 moves between the outer periphery of the base 27 and the annular support 10, and then moves into the powder channel 9 under the action of the soft rubber sheet 28 and the radial ribs 32, and finally moves into the dropping channel 2. When the grinding is completed, the control panel drives the motor 20 to rotate, which drives the rotating shaft 18 to rotate, the rotating shaft 18 drives the swing piece 19 to swing downward, the transmission rod 21 slides along the guide through hole 23 from one end to the other end, and the soft rubber sealing ring 15 and the piston 14 slide downward along the dropping channel 2 from the first position. The soft rubber sealing ring 15 scrapes the residual coffee powder on the inner wall of the dropping channel 2, so that the residual coffee powder falls into the brewing device through the powder outlet 13 and the annular sealing piece 17. When the contact block 25 on the lower side of the swing piece 19 contacts the limit switch 24 on the lower side, the control panel stops the motor 20 from running. At this time, the soft rubber sealing ring 15 penetrates the powder outlet 13 and partially contacts the annular sealing piece 17, so that the powder outlet 13 is closed. Since the soft rubber sealing ring 15 is in sealing contact with the dropping channel 2, the soft rubber sealing ring 15 scrapes the inner wall of the dropping channel 2, so that the dropping channel 2 is cleaned as before and will not be blocked. This not only ensures the quality of the coffee obtained by the coffee grinder, but also reduces the risk of damage to the grinder. Then the control panel controls the brewing device to run. Since the soft rubber sealing ring 15 partially contacts the annular sealing piece 17, it reduces or avoids the steam generated by the brewing device from entering the dropping channel 2, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the grinder and the dropping channel 2 caused by steam. After the operation of the brewing device is completed, the control panel controls the motor 20 to rotate in the opposite direction, which drives the rotating shaft 18 to swing upward, the swing piece 19 drives the transmission rod 21 to slide from the other end to one end, and the piston 14 slides axially upward, which drives the soft rubber sealing ring 15 to slide upward. When the contact block 25 on the upper side of the swing piece 19 contacts the limit switch 24 on the upper side, the control panel controls the motor 20 to stop running. The soft rubber sealing ring 15 returns to the first position, waiting for the next operation of the coffee grinder.
