Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a coffee machine funnel handle, specifically a coffee machine funnel handle device for dispensing coffee powder. Background Technology

[0002] A coffee machine is an electrical appliance used for making coffee. It is generally divided into semi-automatic and fully automatic types. A semi-automatic coffee machine is a traditional Italian coffee machine where grinding, tamping, filling, brewing, and cleaning of coffee grounds are done manually. A fully automatic coffee machine is one that automates the entire coffee brewing process, including preheating, cleaning, grinding, tamping, brewing, and pouring, according to scientific data and procedures. Coffee is obtained with just the touch of a button. These coffee machines typically have a funnel with a handle at the extraction port, as shown in Chinese patent application number 202320746834.1, authorized on August 29, 2023, entitled "A Detachable Coffee Machine Handle Assembly." However, in these and similar products, after extraction, the coffee puck in the portafilter is difficult to dislodge from the funnel by tilting the container after hot water is poured in. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the purpose of this invention is to provide a coffee machine funnel handle dispensing device that relies on a spring-loaded spring striking the coffee tray to dislodge the coffee puck, thus solving the technical problems of inconvenience in dispensing coffee pucks after extraction and the relatively inconvenient overall production and assembly of existing similar products. This objective is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0004] A coffee maker funnel handle dispensing device includes a coffee bowl, a funnel support, and a handle. A handle tube is located on one side of the bottom of the funnel support. The handle tube fits into the opening at one end of the handle, forming the handle cavity and is sealed together. The coffee bowl is snapped into the top opening of the funnel support. A key structural design feature is a spring-loaded piece at the bottom of the coffee bowl within the funnel support. One end of the spring-loaded piece is hinged and fixed to the funnel cavity at the bottom of the coffee bowl. The other end of the spring-loaded piece is connected to a turntable on the handle's rear spring support via a tension spring. One end of the rotating shaft of the rear spring support extends out of the handle and connects to a knob. The other end of the rotating shaft is fixed to the handle or the handle tube of the funnel support. The turntable of the rear spring support is located on the outer diameter of the rotating shaft. When the knob is rotated, the tension spring causes the spring-loaded piece to swing and strike the bottom of the coffee bowl within the funnel support. The turntable of the aforementioned tension spring support may be a cam, and the knob may be a lever; after the knob and tension spring drive the spring to rotate, the spring reciprocates to strike the bottom of the powder bowl to realize the operation of pouring the powder.

[0005] The spring clip is hinged and fixed to the spring clip fixing post in the funnel cavity of the funnel support at the bottom of the powder bowl via a spring clip fixing screw. The spring clip fixing post is fixedly installed in the funnel cavity of the funnel support at the bottom of the powder bowl. The above is a specific assembly structure embodiment of fixing the spring clip inside the funnel support.

[0006] The bottom of the spring clip fixing screw is fixed to an opening on one side of the bottom of the funnel cavity of the funnel support at the bottom of the powder bowl via a fixing screw. The above is a specific structural embodiment of the funnel support.

[0007] The inner cavity of the funnel support at the bottom of the powder bowl is equipped with a channel sealing ring at the protruding part of the tension spring. The channel sealing ring seals the deformation spiral section or the wire fixing section of the tension spring. The above structure further improves the sealing performance at the tension spring.

[0008] The tension spring rear bracket is disposed within the handle tube of the funnel bracket that fits inside the handle. The above is a specific structural embodiment of the tension spring rear bracket.

[0009] The handle is positioned at an angle or horizontally on one side of the funnel support. Ideally, the handle is positioned slightly upwards, but according to existing technology, a downward angled position is also acceptable, as long as the channel sealing ring provides a seal to prevent coffee liquid from seeping in.

[0010] The other end of the handle is provided with a rubber end cap, and the handle has a through hole. The above is a specific structural embodiment of the handle.

[0011] The striking point of the spring is equipped with a rubber pad, which is fixedly connected to the spring. This reduces scratches when the spring strikes the bottom of the powder bowl, thus improving the overall service life.

[0012] The funnel support at the bottom of the powder bowl has a water outlet at the bottom of the funnel cavity. The water outlet is an existing diversion water outlet or other existing water outlet.

[0013] The present invention has a reasonable structural design, is convenient to produce, use and operate, has a wide range of applications and various structural forms; it is suitable for use as a coffee machine funnel handle pouring device, as well as structural improvements of similar products.

[0020] The structure and use of the present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-5 As shown, the device includes a powder bowl 1, a funnel support 2, and a handle 3. A handle tube 201 is located on one side of the bottom of the funnel support. The handle tube of the funnel is inserted into the opening at one end of the handle to form the inner cavity of the handle, and the two parts are sealed together. The powder bowl is snapped into the top opening of the funnel support. A water outlet 12 is located at the bottom of the funnel cavity of the funnel support at the bottom of the powder bowl. A spring piece 9 is located at the bottom of the powder bowl inside the funnel support. One end of the spring piece is hinged and fixed in the inner cavity of the funnel support at the bottom of the powder bowl. The other end of the spring piece is connected to one side of the turntable 502 of the spring support 5 inside the handle via a tension spring 6. One end of the rotating shaft 501 of the spring support extends out of the handle and is connected to a knob 4. The other end of the rotating shaft is fixed inside the handle or the handle tube 201 of the funnel support. The turntable of the spring support is located on the outer diameter of the rotating shaft. When the knob is rotated, the spring piece swings and strikes the bottom of the powder bowl inside the funnel support via the tension spring.

[0021] The specific structure is as follows: The aforementioned spring is hinged and fixed to the spring fixing post 8 in the funnel cavity of the funnel support at the bottom of the powder bowl via spring fixing screw 10. The spring fixing post is fixedly installed in the funnel cavity of the funnel support at the bottom of the powder bowl. The bottom of the spring fixing screw is installed at the opening on one side of the bottom of the funnel cavity of the funnel support at the bottom of the powder bowl via a fixing screw. A channel sealing ring 7 is provided at the protruding part of the tension spring in the funnel cavity of the funnel support at the bottom of the powder bowl. The channel sealing ring seals the deformation spiral section or the wire fixing section of the tension spring. The tension spring rear bracket is installed in the handle tube of the funnel support that is fitted into the handle. The handle is set at an angle or horizontally on one side of the funnel support. A rubber end plug is provided at the other end of the handle. A handle through hole is provided inside the handle. At the same time, according to the above structural features, in order to improve the striking stability of the spring, reduce noise, and prevent collision scratches on the bottom of the powder bowl, a rubber pad is provided at the striking point of the spring. The rubber pad is fixedly connected to the spring.

[0022] The aforementioned device has a circular opening at the bottom of the funnel, and a spring clip fixing post is located inside the funnel above the opening. The upper part of the spring clip fixing post has a circular opening, and the spring clip is located on the side of the spring clip fixing post. The opening on the spring clip is aligned with the opening on the spring clip fixing post. The side of the spring clip has a spring clip fixing screw, a fixing post screw, and a spring clip fixing post. Both the spring clip and the tension spring rear bracket have openings for fixing the tension spring. The funnel channel has a channel sealing ring to prevent coffee liquid from seeping in. The handle tube of the funnel bracket has a through opening for installing the tension spring rear bracket. The surface of the handle also has an opening, and the knob is inserted into the tension spring rear bracket through the opening for fixing.

[0023] The specific implementation plan of the device is as follows: After the coffee extraction is completed, turn the knob 4. The knob 4 drives the spring support 5 to rotate. The spring support 5 drives the spring 6 to stretch backward. Since the front end of the spring 6 hooks the spring 9, the spring 6 is subjected to the stretching force and hits the coffee cup 1 with its top. Release the knob 4, and the spring 6 and spring 9 return to their original positions. Repeat the above movement to shake the coffee puck out of the coffee cup.

[0024] In summary, this device solves the design flaw of existing similar products where the coffee puck is difficult to pour after extraction, especially addressing the issue of labor-saving pouring technology. This device uses a spring-loaded mechanism to detach the coffee puck from the container, offering the following advantages: 1) A knob drives a spring to move the spring up and down; 2) A sealing ring in the channel prevents coffee liquid from seeping in; 3) It solves the problem of coffee puck sticking together after extraction.
