Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a thermos for coffee machines, specifically a fully automatic thermos for coffee machines. Background Technology

[0002] A coffee machine is an electrical appliance used for making coffee. They are generally divided into semi-automatic and fully automatic types. Semi-automatic coffee machines require manual operation for grinding, tamping, filling, brewing, and removing grounds. Fully automatic coffee machines are fully automated, controlling the entire coffee brewing process from preheating and cleaning to grinding, tamping, brewing, and dispensing. They brew coffee according to scientific data and procedures, requiring only the touch of a button. A thermos is primarily used to keep hot water warm. Its structure and principle are similar to thermos bottles and cups. It generally consists of a body and a lid. The body typically uses a double-walled stainless steel vacuum design with an insulated inner wall, and the lid has a spout for dispensing water. In traditional coffee machine use, the coffee often cools down quickly after brewing due to the poor insulation of the kettle, affecting its taste and flavor. Some coffee pots are specifically designed for coffee machines, or are simply called coffee pots. Their primary function is to collect, keep warm, and pour the brewed coffee. Examples include Chinese patent application number 200420150431.8, authorized on February 1, 2006, entitled "Coffee Pot"; and application number 201420162091.4, authorized on October 8, 2014, also entitled "Coffee Pot." While these coffee pots and some existing coffee pots have insulation designs, they suffer from problems such as complex structures, limited insulation time, loose integration of functions, and inconvenient cleaning. For instance, the sealing structure of some insulated pots is prone to failure after repeated use, leading to accelerated heat loss; the insulation material in some pots is unevenly distributed, resulting in significant differences in local insulation performance; and during coffee brewing, the contact method between the coffee liquid and the pot can affect the extraction quality and the difficulty of cleaning the pot. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the purpose of this invention is to provide a fully automatic coffee machine thermos, which solves the technical problems of inadequate insulation and sealing structure design, inconvenience in cleaning, use, and disassembly, and inconvenience in opening and closing the lid of existing similar products. This objective is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0004] An automatic coffee maker thermos includes a body and a lid. A spout is fixed to the spout at the top of the body. A handle is integrated into one side of the body or spout. The lid is sealed to the body via the spout, and a silicone sealing ring is provided at the connection between the spout and the body's spout. A spout outlet protruding outwards on the other side of the spout communicates with a lid outlet on the bottom side of the lid. A key structural design feature is a sliding cover at the liquid inlet of the lid, allowing it to be opened and closed. The bottom of the liquid inlet of the lid has a lid inlet that slopes inwards and communicates with the body. Thus, the lid is opened and closed via the sliding cover, eliminating the need to flip the lid. Once opened, coffee is poured in through the liquid inlet at the top of the lid and the lid inlet within the liquid inlet.

[0005] One end of the sliding cover slides open and closes at the inlet slot on one side of the lid, while the other end inserts into the lid hole on the opposite side of the lid. This structure improves the stability of the sliding cover, and it can be implemented using a sliding rail.

[0006] The bottom of the sliding lid has a sliding lid limiting component on one side of the lid hole. This limiting component can be a rotating shaft, pin, or baffle horizontally positioned inside the lid, or symmetrically protruding limiting posts on both sides of the inner wall of the lid at the bottom of the sliding lid. An opening is provided above the water inlet of the lid below the limiting component. The structural design of the sliding lid limiting component is sufficient to support the bottom of the sliding lid during sliding, with the rotating shaft itself having a rotational function for optimal effect.

[0007] The top of the sliding cover has a lug. When the sliding cover is slid open to the inlet slot of the pot lid, the lug of the sliding cover is positioned inside the slot. The lug of the sliding cover facilitates the opening and sliding operation of the sliding cover. When the coffee pot is placed into the corresponding coffee machine, the lug of the sliding cover is abutted by the component at the water outlet of the coffee machine, which drives the sliding cover to open without manually pushing it open.

[0008] The sliding cover has symmetrical protrusions on both sides of the bottom of one end for sliding open and closing. The protrusions are provided with limiting chamfer edges or locking grooves on both sides of the inner wall of the liquid inlet groove of the lid. When the sliding cover is slid closed to the opening of the liquid inlet groove of the lid, the protrusions of the sliding cover are limited to the limiting chamfer edges or locked into the locking grooves.

[0009] The sliding cap has a protrusion at one end where it inserts into the lid, and two recesses on the bottom of the lid corresponding to the protrusion. When the sliding cap is slid to the open or closed position, the protrusion engages with one of the recesses. This structural design enhances the feel and stability of the sliding cap when it is in the open or closed position.

[0010] The spout has at least two symmetrically placed protruding locking ribs on its inner diameter. A locking groove is provided on the outer diameter side of the lid corresponding to each locking rib. The lid is fitted into the locking rib of the spout via the locking groove and then rotated to secure the lid inside the spout. This structure improves the stability of the lid's fixation to the spout, and it can also be rotated into place using internal or external threads.

[0011] The lid has a top opening with an outer diameter larger than its bottom opening, and a sealing gasket may be provided at the bottom of the sealing edge above the locking groove. This structure further improves the lid's sealing and heat preservation effects.

[0012] The kettle body is a double-layered stainless steel vacuum-sealed body. The handle is symmetrically located on the other side of the spout outlet, and the handle is integrally formed with the spout to form a spout handle. Alternatively, the kettle body can be made of plastic, with the handle integrally formed with the body. The aforementioned plastic kettle body can also be a combination of a plastic outer shell and a stainless steel inner liner, with an integrally formed handle on one side of the plastic outer shell.

[0013] The spout handle has a through hole on its inner diameter, and a decorative cover is provided on the top of the through hole. This structure facilitates the decoration of the handle, makes it easy to open the decorative cover for cleaning, and reduces production costs.

[0014] This invention features a reasonable structural design, making it easy to clean, use, and disassemble. It also offers excellent heat preservation and sealing effects. In particular, the liquid inlet hole of the lid can be opened by sliding the lid, which is simple and convenient to operate. It is suitable for use as a thermos for fully automatic coffee machines and for structural improvements to similar products. Attached Figure Description
