[0022] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present invention, so the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the present upper and lower structured integrated grinding semi-automatic coffee machine comprises a machine body 1, a bean grinding device 2, a brewing device 3, and a control device. The machine body 1 is provided with the bean grinding device 2 and the brewing device 3 separately at the upper and lower parts. The bean grinding device 2 is mounted on the upper part of the machine body 1, and the brewing device 3 is mounted on the upper part of the machine body 1. The control device is arranged in the machine body 1, and is electrically connected to the bean grinding device 2 and the brewing device 3 respectively. The machine body 1 is provided with a powder receiving device 10 between the bean grinding device 2 and the brewing device 3. This technical solution arranges the bean grinding device 2 above the brewing device 3 on the machine body 1, and the width dimension (the dimension in the left-right direction) of the whole machine is slightly larger than the width dimension occupied by the bean grinding device 2 or the width dimension occupied by the brewing device 3 (when the width dimension occupied by the bean grinding device is larger than the width dimension occupied by the brewing device, the width dimension of the whole machine is slightly larger than the width dimension occupied by the grinder; when the width dimension occupied by the grinder is smaller than the width dimension occupied by the brewing device, the width dimension of the whole machine is slightly larger than the width dimension occupied by the brewing device), effectively reducing the width dimension of the whole machine (about half of the traditional structure), making the whole machine a narrow-body bean grinding coffee machine, and effectively reducing the storage space it occupies (for example, when the coffee machine is placed on a desktop, the width dimension of the desktop occupied for storage can be greatly reduced). In addition, the powder receiving device 11 is arranged between the bean grinding device 2 and the brewing device 3. The bean grinding device 2, the powder receiving device 11, and the brewing device 3 constitute an upper, middle and lower structure in sequence. When the user uses the coffee machine, he can operate it from top to bottom, add beans from the top, receive powder in the middle, and brew at the bottom, which is more convenient for user operation.

[0024] The brewing device 3 generally does not occupy the top space of the coffee machine, while the bean grinding device 2 generally occupies the top space of the coffee machine (because the bean grinding device 2 requires a bean bin 21 to be set on the top of the coffee machine). Therefore, the bean grinding device 2 can be directly stacked on top of the brewing device 3. At this time, the width dimension occupied by the machine body 1 for installing the bean grinding device 2 is equivalent to the width dimension occupied by the machine body 1 for installing the brewing chamber 12, thereby greatly reducing the width dimension of the entire machine (to about half of the traditional structure).

The upper part of the machine body 1 is provided with a bean grinding chamber 11. The bean grinding assembly 22 is installed in the bean grinding chamber 11 and is located below the bean bin 21. The powder receiving port 23 is open and arranged at the upper front side of the machine body 1 corresponding to the horizontal position of the bean grinding chamber 11. The powder receiving port 23 is separated from the bean grinding chamber 11. The bean grinding assembly 22 has a feeding end 221 and a discharging end 222. The feeding end 221 is communicated with the bean bin 21, and the discharging end 222 is arranged at the inner top of the powder receiving port 23 and is communicated with the powder receiving device 10. The powder receiving device 10 can be connected to a powder receiving tool, such as a coffee funnel.
