Different types of filters have varying effects on the coffee's flavor, and users can choose the appropriate filter type based on their preferences and needs. Quality inspection of coffee machine filters is crucial for ensuring the performance of the coffee machine and the quality of the coffee.

The present invention addresses the problem of a filter with leakage holes on both the bottom and sides. Hot water at the same temperature as coffee boiling mixed with sand larger than the filter holes is used as a simulated material to test the strength of the connecting wires between the holes to determine the quality of the filter. The filter's load-bearing capacity is also tested to ensure that no large beans are filtered out during filtration. This overcomes the existing inability to test coffee machine filters.

[0004] As shown in the above-mentioned prior art, the current simulation test of the coffee machine filter is to use sand particles simulating coffee particles to penetrate the filter to test the filter's ability to filter coffee particles. However, the above device is relatively large as a whole, and requires adding hot water to simulate the temperature of brewing coffee, and performing an impact test with sand particles. A balance table is also designed for accurate testing. The entire set of testing devices is complex to operate and costly, and the testing workload is large. In fact, the quality test of the coffee machine filter is still mainly to test its filtering effect.

[0025] The present invention provides a production and detection device and method for coffee machine filters. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0026] 1. This coffee machine filter production testing device uses an upper testing cylinder and a lower testing cylinder to clamp the coffee machine filter to be tested. Sand mixed with water to simulate coffee bean particles is used for testing. If sand passes through the coffee machine filter, it indicates that the mesh density of the coffee machine filter is unqualified. In addition to gravity testing, the present invention also adds a two-stage dynamic testing method of stirring and shaking. By moving the sand to increase the difficulty, the quality of the coffee machine filter can be better tested. The test is simple, convenient and low-cost. Compared with the simple and direct penetration test, the test accuracy is better, ensuring the quality of the produced coffee machine filter.

[0027] 2. The production inspection device of the coffee machine filter is provided with a transparent observation bottle at the bottom of the lower inspection cylinder. If sand passes through the coffee machine filter during the inspection process, it means that part or all of the pores of the coffee machine filter are too large, and thus its quality is unqualified. After inspecting a coffee machine filter, when the inspection mechanism is flipped over and the coffee machine filter is opened to be replaced, the sand in the transparent observation bottle will slide to the outside of the sand collecting hopper due to the layout of the sand retaining hopper and the sand collecting hopper during the flipping process. When turning back again, the sand on the outside of the sand collecting hopper will slide to the outside of the sand retaining hopper again, thereby preventing sand from falling onto the coffee machine filter to be replaced and causing sand to be scattered. By simply pushing up the sand retaining hopper, the sand on the outside can be discharged from the bottom for easy collection and reuse. The structural layout is ingenious and the use is flexible and convenient.

[0028] 3. The production and testing device for the coffee machine filter has a stirring structure that can be driven by wind to rotate by a driving member during the testing process, thereby churning up the sand. The dynamic sand can pass through the coffee machine filter more comprehensively than the static sand, thereby more effectively testing the quality of the coffee machine filter. At the same time, the stirring structure can also be equipped with an eccentric swinging structure. While rotating and churning the sand, it can also drive the testing mechanism itself to move to achieve a shaking effect. Under the dual dynamic effects, the quality of the coffee machine filter can be further tested, and the eccentric swinging structure can be used selectively, thereby providing multiple levels of experimental effects for the quality inspection of the coffee machine filter, and the structure is simple and convenient to operate.

[0029] 4. The production and detection device for the coffee machine filter has a simple bracket structure. The diameter of the lower ring is larger than that of the upper ring, and the structure with a small upper part and a large lower part is relatively stable. The detection mechanism can be placed in both directions by using a spring and a U-shaped seat to position the support rod. It can be used for both the replacement and detection steps of the coffee machine filter. The elastic support method allows the detection mechanism to further increase the vibration amplitude when swinging, which is convenient for better detection of the quality of the coffee machine filter.

[0050] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] The present invention discloses a production and detection device for a coffee machine filter and provides the following four technical solutions:

[0052] Figures 1-4 The first embodiment is shown: comprising a detection mechanism for placing a coffee machine filter 1 for detection, and a bracket 2 for placing and supporting the detection mechanism, the detection mechanism comprising:

[0053] The upper detection cylinder 3 is filled with water and sand simulating coffee bean particles. The diameter of the sand is larger than the pore size of the standard coffee machine filter 1. The upper detection cylinder 3 is also provided with a stirring structure 31. The stirring structure 31 stirs the sand to increase the probability of passing through the coffee machine filter 1. A driving member is installed on the top of the upper detection cylinder 3 to drive the stirring structure 31 to rotate. The top of the stirring structure 31 is equipped with an eccentric swinging structure 32, which uses centrifugal force to cause the entire detection mechanism to shake during rotation. The eccentric swinging structure 32 can be selectively driven or not driven by the stirring structure 31. A heating structure can also be installed in the upper detection cylinder 3 to further simulate the effect of temperature on the coffee machine filter 1, or to increase the influence of other physical factors.

[0054] The lower detection cylinder 4 cooperates with the upper detection cylinder 3 to clamp the coffee machine filter 1 therebetween. The lower detection cylinder 4 is used to receive and observe water and sand that leak through the coffee machine filter 1.

[0055] A sealing gasket 7 is also provided on the bottom surface of the upper detection cylinder 3, and a groove for positioning the coffee machine filter 1 is provided on the bottom surface of the sealing gasket 7;

[0056] The clamp 5 is used to connect and fix the upper detection tube 3 and the lower detection tube 4. The clamp 5 is mounted on the bracket 2, and the bracket 2 elastically supports the clamp 5 to increase the swing amplitude of the detection mechanism;

[0057] A pneumatic power source 6 is mounted on the bracket 2 for driving the driving member in a split manner to avoid the influence of the shaking of the detection mechanism on the pneumatic power source 6 .

[0058] The present invention adopts an upper detection cylinder 3 and a lower detection cylinder 4 to cooperate with each other to clamp the coffee machine filter 1 to be tested, and uses sand mixed with water to simulate coffee bean particles for testing. If sand passes through the coffee machine filter 1, it means that the mesh density of the coffee machine filter 1 is unqualified. On the basis of gravity detection, the present invention also adds a two-stage dynamic detection method of one stirring and one shaking. By making the sand move to increase the difficulty, the quality of the coffee machine filter 1 can be better detected. The experiment is simple, convenient and low-cost. Compared with the simple and direct penetration test, its detection accuracy is better, thereby ensuring the quality of the produced coffee machine filter 1.

[0059] Figure 5-Figure 8The second embodiment is shown, which differs from the first embodiment mainly in that: a transparent observation bottle 41 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the lower detection cylinder 4, and a sand collecting hopper 42 is installed inside the lower detection cylinder 4. The sand collecting hopper 42 is used to gather the fallen sand particles to the center and discharge them into the transparent observation bottle 41. The bottom of the inner cavity of the lower detection cylinder 4 is also provided with a sand blocking hopper 43 covering the outside of the bottom end of the sand collecting hopper 42. The sand blocking hopper 43 is used to isolate the sand particles from the periphery when the detection mechanism is flipped over to prevent the sand particles from entering the sand collecting hopper 42; the structure of the sand blocking hopper 43 is similar to a teacup with a teacup holder at the bottom, and the bottom of the sand blocking hopper 43 is fixedly connected to a plurality of connecting rods 45, which slide through the bottom of the lower detection cylinder 4 and are connected by a pushing ring 46. The bottom of the sand blocking hopper 43 is separated or attached to the inner wall of the lower detection cylinder 4 by pushing and pulling the pushing ring 46. The bottom of the lower detection cylinder 4 is tapered, so that when the sand blocking hopper 43 rises and separates from the lower detection cylinder 4, the sand particles on the periphery of the sand blocking hopper 43 slide toward the center and are discharged;

[0060] A plurality of through holes 47 are evenly arranged on the top of the sand collecting hopper 42. A fine filter 44 covering the through holes 47 is pasted on the outer wall of the sand collecting hopper 42. The mesh of the fine filter 44 is smaller than the mesh of the coffee machine filter 1. When the detection mechanism is flipped, the water outside the sand collecting hopper 42 flows back into the upper detection cylinder 3 through the through holes 47. The water discharged back into the upper detection cylinder 3 can also flush some of the sand particles remaining on the coffee machine filter 1 back into the upper detection cylinder 3.

[0061] By arranging a transparent observation bottle 41 at the bottom of the lower detection cylinder 4, if sand passes through the coffee machine filter 1 during the detection process, it means that part or all of the pores of the coffee machine filter 1 are too large, and thus its quality is unqualified. After testing a coffee machine filter 1, when the detection mechanism is flipped over and the coffee machine filter 1 is opened to replace, the sand in the transparent observation bottle 41 will slide to the outside of the sand collecting hopper 42 due to the layout of the sand retaining hopper 43 and the sand collecting hopper 42 during the flipping process, and the sand outside the sand collecting hopper 42 will slide to the outside of the sand retaining hopper 43 when turning back again, thereby preventing sand from falling into the coffee machine filter 1 to be replaced and causing the sand to be scattered. By simply pushing up the sand retaining hopper 43, the sand outside it can be discharged from the bottom for easy collection and reuse. The structural layout is ingenious and the use is flexible and convenient.

[0062] Figures 9-11 The third embodiment is shown, which differs from the first embodiment mainly in that the stirring structure 31 includes a stirring rod 311 and a stirring blade 312 fixed at its bottom end, and the stirring blade 312 is a blade-shaped blade that causes the sand to churn when rotating;

[0063] The driving member includes a hood 33 fixedly connected to the top of the upper detection cylinder 3 by nuts and studs, a prismatic sleeve 34 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the stirring rod 311 and located at the top of the upper detection cylinder 3, and the prismatic sleeve 34 passes through the top of the hood 33. A fan blade 35 axially sleeved on the outside of the prismatic sleeve 34 rotates in the hood 33, and an air inlet nozzle 331 is tangentially connected to one side of the hood 33, and an air outlet 332 is tangentially opened on the other side of the hood 33. The air outlet 332 faces opposite to the air inlet nozzle 331 but is located on both sides of the axis, so that the air flow flows in an annular direction. The fan blade 35 is driven to rotate by blowing air from the air inlet nozzle 331 into the hood 33.

[0064] The eccentric swing structure 32 includes a pendulum rod 321, one end of which is provided with a prismatic hole adapted to the prismatic sleeve 34. A magnetic ring 322 is bonded inside the pendulum rod 321 and at the top of the prismatic hole. The magnetic force of the magnetic ring 322 prevents the pendulum rod 321 from sliding down and connecting with the prismatic sleeve 34. The stirring rod 311 is a round shaft with a smooth surface, so the friction is small during rotation and will not drive the eccentric swing structure 32 to rotate, or the eccentric swing structure 32 will only rotate very slowly. The prismatic hole is covered with the prismatic sleeve 34 by pressing down the pendulum rod 321, and the other end of the pendulum rod 321 is threadedly connected to a counterweight block 323.

[0065] During the detection process, the stirring structure 31 can be driven by the driving part to rotate by wind, thereby churning up the sand. The dynamic sand can pass through the coffee machine filter 1 more comprehensively than the static sand, so the quality of the coffee machine filter 1 can be detected more effectively. At the same time, the stirring structure 31 can also be equipped with an eccentric swinging structure 32. While rotating and churning the sand, it can also drive the detection mechanism itself to move to achieve a shaking effect. Under the dual dynamic effect, the quality of the coffee machine filter 1 can be further detected, and the eccentric swinging structure 32 can be used selectively, thereby providing multiple levels of experimental effects for the quality inspection of the coffee machine filter 1, and the structure is simple and convenient to operate.

[0066] Figure 1 Figure 2 and Figure 12-13 A fourth embodiment is shown, which differs from the first embodiment primarily in that the clamp 5 comprises a left half-clamp 51 and a right half-clamp 52 hingedly connected at one end. The other end of the right half-clamp 52 is rotatably connected to a T-shaped stud 53, and one end of the T-shaped stud 53 is threadedly connected to a butterfly nut 54. The other end of the left half-clamp 51 is provided with a hanging block, and a notch is provided inside the hanging block to fit the T-shaped stud 53. After the T-shaped stud 53 is inserted into the notch, the butterfly nut 54 is tightened to secure the upper and lower detection tubes 3 and 4.

[0067] The upper detection tube 3 and the lower detection tube 4 have convex edges extending outward on their opposite surfaces. The outer surface of the convex edge is a slope, and a wear-resistant metal ring 301 is embedded and fixed on the slope. When the clamp 5 is tightened, the wear-resistant metal ring 301 is squeezed to compress the upper detection tube 3 and the lower detection tube 4.

[0068] The clamp 5 is used to fix the upper detection tube 3 and the lower detection tube 4. It only needs to tighten a butterfly nut 54 to fix them, and there is no need to tighten them throughout the process or completely disassemble them. The tightening is simple and convenient. At the same time, the design of the wear-resistant metal ring 301 can also avoid the wear of the upper detection tube 3 and the lower detection tube 4 caused by frequent tightening.

[0069] The bracket 2 includes an upper ring 21 and a lower ring 22, and multiple vertical plates 23 are connected between the upper ring 21 and the lower ring 22. The pneumatic power source 6 includes an air pump 61 fixedly connected to the vertical plate 23 on one side through a mounting plate 24. An inflation pipe 62 is connected between the air outlet end of the air pump 61 and the air inlet nozzle 331. A dust filter cover is provided at the air inlet end of the air pump 61. A starting switch 63 is fixedly connected between the vertical plates 23 on the other side through the mounting plate 24. The starting switch 63 is connected to an external power supply and is connected to the air pump 61 through a wire.

[0070] The top of the upper ring 21 is elastically connected to multiple U-shaped seats 26 through multiple evenly distributed springs 25. The sides of the clamp 5 and the upper detection tube 3 are fixedly connected with multiple clamping rods 55. The detection mechanism is placed on the bracket 2 by placing the clamping rods 55 into the U-shaped seats 26.

[0071] By setting up the bracket 2 with a simple structure, the diameter of the lower ring 22 is larger than that of the upper ring 21, and the structure with a small upper part and a large lower part is relatively stable. The spring 25 is used in conjunction with the U-shaped seat 26 to position the support clamping rod 55, so that the detection mechanism can be placed in both the positive and negative directions, which can be used for the replacement step of the coffee machine filter 1, and the elastic support method allows the detection mechanism to further increase the shaking amplitude when swinging, so as to better detect the quality of the coffee machine filter 1.

[0072] The present invention also discloses a detection method based on a production detection device for a coffee machine filter, comprising the following steps:

[0073] Step 1: First, turn the detection mechanism upside down and use the clamping rod 55 to invert the upper detection cylinder 3 onto the U-shaped seat 26 of the bracket 2. Screw the butterfly nut 54 of the clamp 5 onto the end of the T-shaped stud 53. Then, unscrew the T-shaped stud 53 to open the left half of the clamp 51 and the right half of the clamp 52. Then remove the lower detection cylinder 4, pour water and sand into the upper detection cylinder 3, and then place the coffee machine filter 1 to be tested. Finally, cover the lower detection cylinder 4 on the upper detection cylinder 3 and press the coffee machine filter 1 tightly. Then, use the clamp 5 to lock the upper and lower detection cylinders 3 and 4, and then turn it over and place it on the bracket 2 so that the clamping rod 55 of the clamp 5 is locked in.

[0074] Step 2: First, observe whether there are sand particles in the transparent observation bottle 41 in a static state to preliminarily determine the quality of the coffee machine filter 1. If no sand particles are observed, start the air pump 61 to blow air into the air cover 33 through the air charging tube 62, causing the fan blades 35 to rotate and the stirring structure 31 to rotate via the prismatic sleeve 34 to perform a second test for sand agitation. Then, observe again in a dynamic state whether there are any sand particles falling into the transparent observation bottle 41. If no sand particles are still observed, press down the eccentric swinging structure 32, and use the stirring structure 31 to drive the eccentric swinging structure 32 to rotate, causing the detection mechanism to shake, and perform a third test to again observe whether there are any sand particles falling into the transparent observation bottle 41.
