Traditional bean grinding devices change the gap between the grinding discs using threaded adjustment. The adjustment mechanism of the bean grinding assembly can be manually mechanical, which is convenient for users to adjust according to their needs, and can also be combined with a potentiometer to identify the adjustment gear and automatically allocate the grinding time. The vertical drop powder channel of the bean grinding assembly is vertically connected between the grinding structure and the powder outlet of the coffee machine, and is used to directly transport the ground coffee powder to the powder receiving position without the need for a secondary powder feeding structure and a secondary channel for transmission.

[0040] The above-mentioned fixed block retracts and locks the motion track. When the fixed block is locked with the main body, the bean unloading passage between the rotating seat and the bean box is unobstructed, and the beans can be unloaded. When the fixed block is extended, the fixed block and the main body are engaged to achieve locking, and the top rod of the top rod assembly is pushed to the connecting piece of the switch to trigger the first safety switch. The above-mentioned fixed blocks are respectively arranged at the track bone positions on both sides of the rotating seat. When the handle is rotated counterclockwise, the track bone position of the rotating seat drives the fixed block to retract, and the passage between the rotating seat and the bean box seat assembly is closed to prevent the coffee beans inside from scattering when the bean box assembly is taken out; remove the handle upwards, and the bean box assembly is taken out from the box body. Rotate the handle clockwise, and the fixed block slides out along the guide shape at the track bone position of the rotating seat, cooperates and fixes with the box body of the bean box assembly and the seat body of the bean box seat assembly, and turns on the first safety switch, and the passage between the rotating seat and the bean box seat assembly is opened, and the beans are unloaded normally.

[0041] The upper and lower bearings of the bean grinding assembly are used to reduce the resistance of the upper grinding assembly when the motor drives the upper grinding drive disk of the upper grinding assembly, so that the upper grinding assembly can be driven more stably and smoothly. The concave grinding upper grinding knife in the grinding assembly is fixed in the upper grinding drive disk of the upper grinding assembly and rotates. The function of the flexible sealing ring is to prevent the bean powder from entering other spaces of the bean grinding system when the upper and lower grinding assemblies rotate at high speed. The bean grinding cone adjustment disk and the gear adjustment lifting seat are provided with a step surface that rotates in coordination, and the step surface changes the gap between the upper and lower grinding knives with the direction of rotation, thereby changing the coarseness of the ground powder. That is, the lower grinding knife assembly cooperates with the lower cover of the bean grinding assembly and is fixedly connected by a balance spring, which can be installed and removed; the bean grinding cone is connected and fixed to the bean grinding adjustment disk through a connecting shaft; the balance spring is fixed on the bean grinding adjustment disk and connected to the lower cover of the bean grinding assembly, which is used to balance when the upper and lower grinding assemblies rotate to adjust the gap and control the stability of the lower grinding assembly. The bean grinding cone adjustment disc of the lower grinder assembly adopts a hollow hole design to facilitate the coffee powder to fall vertically to the powder receiving position.

[0042] The installation instructions for the gear adjustment disk assembly are as follows: align the gear adjustment disk assembly with the indicator mark, insert it upward to the bottom, then rotate it to the left about 10 degrees, and release the assembly button to fix it; align the gear adjustment disk assembly with the indicator mark, press the gear adjustment disk assembly, and move it down to remove it. That is, there is an indicator mark with a triangular arrow on the left side of the main body of the coffee machine at the powder outlet. Rotate the gear adjustment disk assembly until the assembly button is aligned with the above indicator mark, then press the assembly button, put it upward into the bracket, rotate it to the left about 10°, and release the assembly button to complete the installation. Conversely, rotate the gear adjustment disk assembly to the indicator mark, press the assembly button, and then move it down to remove the gear adjustment disk assembly.

[0043] At the same time, the second safety switch of the gear adjustment disk assembly is used to detect whether the gear adjustment disk assembly is installed in place to prevent accidents; when the gear adjustment lever is turned, the gear adjustment lift seat will also rotate at the same time, and the step surface that matches the grinding disc will rise or fall, thereby adjusting the gap between the upper and lower grinding discs. When installing the gear adjustment disk assembly, the assembly button must be pressed and matched with the bracket buckle before it can be installed. During the left and right adjustment process of the gear adjustment disk, the drive gear on the edge of the potentiometer rotates; the PCB board automatically identifies the current gear state according to the rotation angle of the drive gear, and automatically changes the grinding time. When the above-mentioned gear adjustment disk rotates to the left, when the assembly button contacts the buckle indicated by the blue arrow and stops rotating, it is the minimum gear; when the gear adjustment disk rotates to the right, when the assembly button contacts the buckle indicated by the blue arrow and stops rotating, it is the maximum gear.

[0044] The gear adjustment disc assembly is used to adjust the gap between the upper and lower grinding discs, thereby controlling the fineness of the coffee powder; the gear adjustment disc assembly adopts a manual mechanical lever, which is convenient for users to adjust according to their own needs. It is equipped with a potentiometer to automatically identify the gear position and automatically change the grinding time. That is, when the gear adjustment disc is turned to the right, the lower grinding disc assembly will rise, the gap between the two discs will become smaller, and the ground powder will become finer. On the contrary, it will fall, the gap between the discs will become larger, and the ground powder will become finer. That is, when the gear adjustment disc is adjusted to the left, the lower grinding disc assembly moves down, and the gap between grinding becomes larger; when the gear adjustment disc is adjusted to the right, the lower grinding disc assembly moves up, and the gap between grinding becomes smaller.
