Description

[0001] This application claims priority to PCT International Application filed on September 10, 2021, with application number PCT / CN2021 / 117760, entitled “Method for preparing beverages or food and beverage or food preparation machine”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This invention belongs to the field of household appliances, specifically relating to a method and machine for preparing beverages or food. Background Technology

[0003] For pressure coffee makers, the extraction of coffee grounds refers to the process where hot water from the boiler, driven by an electromagnetic pump, evenly passes through the tamped coffee grounds, extracting colloids, lipids, and other components. Typically, to make a cup of coffee with a pressure coffee maker, the user first adds a certain amount of coffee grounds to the tamping cup, then tamps it to a certain height, forming a compacted cake. The tamping cup is then placed into the brewer's receiving container, which also includes a showerhead. The water from the showerhead is distributed across the surface of the coffee cake and evenly passes through it. If the gap between the showerhead and the top of the coffee cake is too small or nonexistent, the water cannot pass through the cake evenly, resulting in uneven extraction. If the gap is too large, the coffee cake and water mix into a thin paste during extraction, making it impossible to maintain brewing pressure and affecting coffee quality.

[0004] When using existing pressure coffee makers, tamping is done manually, which results in inaccurate tamping amounts. Even after the grinder has ground the desired amount of coffee, there are still residual coffee beans / coffee powder inside. Furthermore, existing pressure coffee makers have very arbitrary control over the amount of coffee grounds, leading to deviations in tamping height and consequently affecting the brewing results. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method and machine for preparing beverages or food that can effectively and precisely control the amount of powder, improve the taste of the prepared beverages or food, and have a higher degree of automation.

[0006] The technical solution is as follows: This invention provides a method for preparing beverages or food, which includes the following steps:

[0007] The beverage or food preparation machine starts up and grinds the ingredients through the grinding device, then outputs the powder to the powder receiving device;

[0008] When the powder in the powder receiver reaches the set amount, the first grinding time value T of the beverage or food preparation machine is obtained. 11 ;

[0009] Based on the first grinding time value T 11 The first grinding time value T is obtained.11 The corresponding delayed grinding time value T 12 ;

[0010] According to the delayed grinding time value T 12 The grinding device operates continuously for the specified time, and discharges the powder from the grinding device to the powder receiving device.

[0011] The above-mentioned beverage or food preparation method uses the time taken for the amount of powder ground by the grinding device to reach the set amount, i.e., the first grinding time value T. 11 Thus, the delayed grinding time value T is obtained. 12 When the powder quantity in the powder receiver reaches the set powder quantity, the grinding device will continue to run for a delayed grinding time value T. 12 The remaining powder is discharged, and the amount of powder in the powder dispenser is precisely controlled to reduce the height deviation of the powder cake and improve the taste of the beverage or food.

[0021] When q1≤T≤q6, the value corresponding to the grinding time T1 is the first interval value Q1;

[0022] q7≤T≤q 12 At that time, the second interval value Q2 corresponds to the grinding time value T1.

[0023] In one embodiment, the first interval value Q1 and / or the second interval value Q2 includes at least a first sub-interval value FQ1 and a second sub-interval value FQ2. Based on the grinding time value T1, the first sub-interval value FQ1 or the second sub-interval value FQ2 corresponding to the grinding time value T1 is obtained. Based on the first sub-interval value FQ1 or the second sub-interval value FQ2, the brewing time information P or the brewing temperature information C corresponding to the first sub-interval value FQ1 or the second sub-interval value FQ2 is obtained. Based on the brewing time information P, the coffee is brewed according to the brewing time determined by the brewing time information P; or, based on the brewing temperature information C, the coffee is brewed according to the brewing temperature information C.

[0024] In one embodiment, in the first interval value Q1, the starting point of the first sub-interval value FQ1 is q2 and the ending point is q3, and the starting point of the second sub-interval value FQ2 is q4 and the ending point is q5;

[0025] In the second interval value Q2, the starting point of the first sub-interval value FQ1 is q8 and the ending point is q9, and the starting point of the second sub-interval value FQ2 is q8. 10 The endpoint is q 11 ;

[0026] q1≤q2≤q3≤q4≤q5≤q6≤q7≤q8≤q9≤q 10 ≤q 11 ≤q 12 .

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0048] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited.

The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a beverage or food brewing machine, in this embodiment, is a coffee machine, which includes: a base 10, on which a grinding device 20 and a tamping device 30 are provided.

[0052] The grinding device 20 is located on the upper part of the machine base 10 and has a powder outlet. The pressing device 30 is located on the lower part of the machine base 10 and is connected to the pressing device 30 through the powder channel 12.

[0053] During the grinding process, the tamping device 30 relies on gravity to act on the coffee powder in the powder receiving device 50 and compacts the coffee powder through its gravity. As the amount of coffee powder increases, the tamping device 30 gradually moves upward. A sensing element 40 is provided between the base 10 and the tamping device 30. The sensing element 40 is used to sense the position of the tamping device 30.

[0054] The powder pressing device 30 includes a pressing shaft 31 and a powder pressing head 32 connected to the pressing shaft 31. A shaft groove 321 is provided in the middle of the powder pressing head 32, and magnetic particles 322 are provided within the shaft groove 321, serving as a first magnetic attraction part. The end of the pressing shaft 31 is inserted into the shaft groove 321, and the end portion 312 of the pressing shaft 31 is made of iron, serving as a second magnetic attraction part. When the end of the pressing shaft 31 is inserted into the shaft groove 321, it is attracted by the magnetic particles 322 within the shaft groove 321, without the need for fixing with screws or other fasteners.

[0055] The sensing element 40 includes a transmitting element 41 and a receiving element 42, which are opposite to each other. The powder pressing device 30 is provided with a sensing part corresponding to the transmitting element 41 and the receiving element 42. The sensing part is a journal 311 provided on the pressing shaft 31. The transmitting element 41 can emit infrared light. When the pressing shaft 31 moves axially, if the journal 311 is opposite to the sensing element 40, the infrared light emitted by the transmitting element 41 is received by the receiving element 42. When the journal 311 of the pressing shaft 31 deviates from the sensing element 40, the infrared light emitted by the transmitting element 41 is blocked by the pressing shaft 31.

[0056] A limiting device 11 is also provided between the pressure shaft 31 and the machine base 10. The limiting device 11 is a limiting plate provided on the machine base 10, and the limiting plate is located above the pressure shaft 31.

[0057] In its natural state, the pressure shaft 31 is in the first position; when the sensing part is opposite to the sensing element 40, the pressure shaft 31 is in the second position; when the pressure shaft 31 is limited by the limiting device 11, the pressure shaft 31 is in the third position; the second position is higher than the first position, and the third position is higher than the second position.

[0058] The aforementioned coffee machine has a control chip 60, which has a readable storage medium storing a control program. The control program controls the coffee machine to perform the steps of the method described below:

[0059] For ease of expression, it can be combined with Figure 5 Understand its control methods and procedures. Figure 5 In the diagram, g represents the amount of powder, t represents the time, Q1 is the first interval value, Q2 is the second interval value, FQ1 is the first sub-interval value, and FQ2 is the second sub-interval value. Due to the limited range of the diagram, the starting and ending points of each interval (i.e., q1, q2, q3, q4, q5, q6, q7, q8, q9, q) are not shown. 10 q 11 q 12 (Not all illustrations are available.)

[0060] 1. Based on the initial grinding time, determine the time for delayed grinding, and, depending on the specific circumstances, discharge the remaining coffee powder into the powder collector 51, specifically as follows:

[0061] The coffee machine is started and the grinding device 20 grinds the coffee powder, which is then output to the powder collector 51.

[0062] When the coffee powder in the powder receiver 51 reaches the set amount, the first grinding time value T of the coffee machine is obtained. 11 ;

[0063] Based on the first grinding time value T11 The first grinding time value T is obtained. 11 The corresponding delayed grinding time value T 12 ;

[0064] According to the delayed grinding time value T 12 The grinding device 20 operates continuously for the specified time and discharges the powder in the grinding device 20 into the powder receiving device 51.

[0065] This embodiment is based on the time taken for the grinding device to reach a set powder quantity, i.e., the first grinding time value T. 11 Thus, the delayed grinding time value T is obtained. 12 When the powder quantity in the powder receiver reaches the set powder quantity, the grinding device will continue to run for a delayed grinding time value T. 12 The remaining coffee grounds are then discharged, and the amount of coffee grounds in the coffee maker is precisely controlled to reduce the height deviation of the coffee puck and improve the taste of the brewed coffee.

[0066] 2. Determine the amount of water to inject based on the coffee machine's grinding time range, specifically:

[0067] The coffee machine is started and the grinding device 20 grinds the coffee powder, which is then output to the powder collector 51.

[0068] Obtain the coffee machine's grinding time value T1;

[0069] Based on the grinding time value T1, the grinding interval value Q corresponding to the grinding time value T1 is obtained;

[0070] Based on the grinding interval value Q, the water injection value S corresponding to the grinding interval value Q is obtained;

[0071] Based on the water volume value S, inject the corresponding amount of water into the coffee powder to complete the coffee brewing process.

[0072] It can be understood that the aforementioned grinding time value T1 can be the first grinding time value T. 11 It can also be the first grinding time value T. 11 Multiplying by a certain coefficient, it can also be the first grinding time value T1 and the delayed grinding time value T. 12 sum.

[0073] When the grinding device 20 grinds coffee, the ground coffee powder enters the powder receiving container 51, and the tamping device 30 operates simultaneously to compact the coffee powder in the powder receiving container 51. As the amount of coffee powder in the powder receiving container 51 increases, the tamping device 30 gradually moves upward and triggers a sensor.

[0074] T 12 =T 11×M+N, where M is the first adjustment coefficient and N is the second adjustment coefficient. The first adjustment coefficient M and the second adjustment coefficient N can be set as needed. When setting the first adjustment coefficient M and the second adjustment coefficient N, one or more factors can be considered, such as the grinding efficiency of the grinding device 20, the capacity of the grinding device 20, the capacity of the powder receiving device 51, and the fineness of the powder.

[0075] The coffee machine grinds coffee powder using the grinder 20, and the ground coffee powder enters the powder receiver 51. As the amount of coffee powder increases, the tamper 30 moves upward. When the tamper 30 moves to the first preset position, the grinding time is T. 11 The grinding device 20 continues to operate according to the grinding delay time T12, and presses the remaining coffee powder into the powder receiver 51.

[0076] The grinding interval value Q includes at least a first interval value Q1 and a second interval value Q2; the first interval value Q1 starts at q1 and ends at q6, and the second interval value Q2 starts at q7 and ends at q8. 12 ;q1 <q6<q7<q 12 ;

[0077] When q1≤T≤q6, the value corresponding to the grinding time T1 is the first interval value Q1;

[0078] q7≤T≤q 12 At that time, the second interval value Q2 corresponds to the grinding time value T1.

[0079] Both the first interval value Q1 and the second interval value Q2 include the first sub-interval value FQ1 and the second sub-interval value FQ2.

[0080] In the first interval value Q1, the starting point of the first sub-interval value FQ1 is q2 and the ending point is q3, and the starting point of the second sub-interval value FQ2 is q4 and the ending point is q5;

[0081] In the second interval value Q2, the starting point of the first sub-interval value FQ1 is q8 and the ending point is q9, and the starting point of the second sub-interval value FQ2 is q8. 10 The endpoint is q 11 ;

[0082] q1≤q2≤q3≤q4≤q5≤q6≤q7≤q8≤q9≤q 10 ≤q 11 ≤q 12 .

[0083] Based on the grinding time value T1, obtain the first interval value FQ1 or the second interval value FQ2 corresponding to the grinding time value T1.

[0084] Based on the first interval value FQ1 or the second interval value FQ2, obtain the brewing time information P or the brewing temperature information C corresponding to the first interval value FQ1 or the second interval value FQ2;

[0085] The coffee is brewed according to the brewing time information P, or according to the brewing temperature information C, the coffee is brewed according to the brewing temperature information C.

[0086] When a coffee machine is grinding coffee powder, it is not possible to directly determine whether a single cup or a double cup is being used, nor can the amount of water used to brew the coffee be automatically determined. However, in this embodiment, the grinding time of the coffee machine can be obtained through the sensing element 40. Based on the range of the grinding time, it is indirectly determined whether a single cup or a double cup is being used, and then the amount of water used to brew the coffee is automatically matched.

[0087] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown:

[0088] 1. If the grinding time value T1 falls within the second sub-interval value FQ2, which starts at q4 and ends at q5, it means that the coffee powder ground by the coffee machine is fine powder and this is a single cup. The corresponding amount of water injected can be matched accordingly.

[0089] 2. If the grinding time value T1 falls within the starting point q 10 The endpoint is q 11 If the value between the second interval FQ2 indicates that the coffee powder ground by the coffee machine is fine and that this is a double cup, the corresponding amount of water to be poured can be matched accordingly.

[0090] 3. If the grinding time value T1 falls within the first interval FQ1, which starts at q2 and ends at q3, it means that the coffee powder ground by the coffee machine is coarse and this is a single cup. The corresponding amount of water poured in can be matched accordingly.

[0091] 4. If the grinding time value T1 falls within the first sub-interval value FQ1, which starts at q8 and ends at q9, it means that the coffee powder ground by the coffee machine is coarse and this is a double cup. The corresponding amount of water injected can be matched accordingly.

[0092] The coffee machine performs the grinding process as follows:

[0093] Place the powder dispenser 51 on the mounting bracket 51 and position it below the powder channel 12, then start the coffee machine;

[0094] The grinding device 20 grinds coffee powder, which enters the receiving device through the powder channel 12 and is compacted by the tamping device 30.

[0095] As the amount of coffee powder increases, the tamping head 32 and the tamping shaft 31 rise. When the tamping shaft 31 rises to the first set position, the journal 311 of the tamping shaft 31 is aligned with the sensing element 40 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 As shown), the infrared light emitted by the transmitting element 41 is received by the receiving element 42, triggering a sensor to obtain the first grinding time value T11. At this time, the grinding device 20 continues to operate (as shown). Figure 2 As shown), when the powder pressing head 32 and the pressing shaft 31 rise to the second set position (as shown) Figure 3 As shown), the pressure roller 31 is limited by the limiting device 11 and no longer moves upward, thus compressing the coffee powder into a powder cake; the grinding device 20 continues to run and discharges the remaining coffee powder to the powder collector. The grinding device 20 runs for a delayed period of time, and after the time determined by the delayed grinding time value T12, the grinding device 20 stops running.

[0096] Once the powder cake in the powder dispenser has been processed, it is used for the next step of brewing.

[0097] When brewing, the amount of water and the temperature of the water can be determined according to the aforementioned method to achieve automated brewing and create a good taste.
