[0049] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0050] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0051] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to realize the different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present application. In addition, the present application can repeat reference numbers and / or reference letters in different examples, and this repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, which itself does not indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the various specific processes and examples of materials provided by the present application, but those of ordinary skill in the art can be aware of the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0052] The present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0053] In the related art, beverage preparation equipment, especially pressure coffee machines, usually put coffee beans, coffee powder or coffee powder bags into the brewing chamber of the coffee preparation machine, and inject fluid with a set temperature and a set pressure into the brewing chamber. After extracting a set amount of coffee beverage, the equipment stops supplying. Then the brewing chamber is opened automatically or manually, and the residue in the brewing chamber is discharged to enter the next brewing cycle.

[0054] After brewing, a certain amount of coffee liquid will be retained in the guide between the brewing chamber and the coffee beverage outlet in the beverage preparation equipment sold on the market. The retained coffee liquid cannot be discharged from the beverage outlet or returned to the brewing chamber by the equipment. When the interval between the next brewing cycle is too long, the temperature of the retained coffee liquid drops, the flavor is lost or even deteriorates. When brewing the beverage next time, the retained coffee liquid and the fresh coffee liquid are discharged into the cup together, resulting in the temperature and quality of the whole cup of coffee beverage failing to meet the requirements, resulting in a decline in the quality of the coffee liquid and affecting the user experience.

[0055] The conventional solution is to increase the waiting time for the next brewing of the beverage to wait for the coffee liquid in the guide member to evaporate, so as to minimize the impact of the retained coffee liquid on the beverage, but this will affect the preparation efficiency of the beverage; or, rinse the guide member to remove the retained coffee liquid in the guide member, but there is still rinse water in the guide member after rinsing, which will still affect the quality of the beverage, increase unnecessary operations, and reduce the preparation efficiency of the beverage.

[0056] Based on the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application provide an anti-residue device, a beverage preparation method and an electrical device to avoid the technical problem that the fluid quality deteriorates due to the long-term retention of the fluid in the guide member between the brewing chamber and the beverage outlet, affecting the user experience.

The first valve core 601 is arranged in the first guide channel 300 with a clearance fit. The projection of the head of the first valve core 601 falls on the body of the first valve core 601. The two ends of the first elastic member 602 are respectively connected to the back of the first valve core 601 and the inner wall of the first guide channel 300. When the brewing component 200 and the brewing chamber 100 move closer to each other, the fluid in the brewing chamber 100 is compressed and flows into the first guide channel 300, acting on the head of the first valve core 601, forcing the first elastic member 602 to be compressed, so that the fluid can flow out through the gap between the body of the first valve core 601 and the first guide channel 300 to open the first guide channel 300; conversely, when the brewing component 200 and the brewing chamber 100 move away from each other, due to the negative pressure generated in the brewing chamber 100, the first elastic member 602 is forced to drive the first valve core 601 to return to its position to close the first guide channel 300.

The head of the second valve core 701 is located in the first liquid expansion channel 302 to block the second flow guide channel 400, so that the fluid can only flow out through the first flow guide channel 300. At the same time, the second elastic member 702 is forced to be stretched to close the second flow guide channel 400. On the contrary, when the brewing element 200 and the brewing chamber 100 move close to each other, the fluid in the brewing chamber 100 is compressed and flows into the second flow guide channel 400, acting on the back of the second valve core 701. The head of the second valve core 701 is located in the first liquid expansion channel 302 to block the second flow guide channel 400, so that the fluid can only flow out through the first flow guide channel 300. At the same time, the second elastic member 702 is forced to be stretched to close the second flow guide channel 400. 0 and the brewing chamber 100 move away from each other, due to the negative pressure generated in the brewing chamber 100, the second elastic member 702 is forced to return to its position, and the second elastic member 702 drives the second valve core 701 in the second liquid expansion channel 402 to move toward the brewing chamber 100 to open the second guide channel 400, so as to guide the fluid in the guide member 500 into the brewing chamber 100 through the opened second guide channel 400, and discharge it through the brewing port 102 of the brewing chamber 100.

[0072] Specifically, combined Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7A second guide column 210 may be provided on the top of the base 203 , and the second guide column 210 may penetrate along the axial direction to form a second guide channel 400 . A section of the second guide channel 400 close to the brewing chamber 100 can be set as the fourth guide section 211, and a section of the second guide channel 400 away from the brewing chamber 100 can be set as the fifth guide section 212. The fourth guide section 211 and the fifth guide section 212 are coaxially connected in sequence, and the diameters of the fourth guide section 211 and the fifth guide section 212 are reduced in sequence. A second valve seat 703 can be provided at the bottom of the fourth guide section 211, and there is a distance between the second valve seat 703 and the top of the fourth guide section 211. The second valve seat 703 is provided with a third through hole. The brewing chamber 101 is connected to the fourth guide section 211 through the second through hole 205 and the third through hole. The third through hole is a stepped hole. The bottom end of the second elastic member 702 is connected to the stepped hole, and the top end of the second elastic member 702 is connected to the first through hole. The back of the second valve core 701, the fifth guide section 212 can be the above-mentioned second liquid inlet channel 401, the second liquid expansion channel 402 is arranged at the transition between the fifth guide section 212 and the fourth guide section 211, the head of the second valve core 701 can be arc-shaped, the circumference of the second valve core 701 and the fourth guide section 211 are clearance-matched, and a second positioning column 704 can be arranged on the back of the second valve core 701, and the second positioning column 704 is movably arranged in the fourth guide section 211, the second elastic member 702 can be a spring, and the second elastic member 702 is sleeved on the second positioning column 704 to provide guidance for the compression and reset of the second elastic member 702, and the fluid in the guide member 500 can flow into the brewing chamber 100 through the fifth and fourth guide sections 211, the third through hole and the second through hole 205 in sequence.

[0073] In other embodiments, the head of the first valve core 601 may also be conical or truncated, which is not limited here. In addition, the outer diameter of the fifth guide section 212 may be smaller than the outer diameter of the fourth guide section 211, which can facilitate the assembly of the guide member 500. For the assembly of the guide member 500, please refer to the following description.

[0074] As can be seen from the above, the first switching member 600 and the second switching member 700 are both pressure control valves, i.e., valves controlled by pressure. In other embodiments, the second switching member and the second switching member may also be other types of valves, for example, the periphery of the switching member has a certain elasticity, and under the action of pressure, the elasticity of the switching member is completely deformed, thereby opening the channel.

[0075] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 5 The anti-residue device also includes a flow guide 500. Figure 8 Shows Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the structure of the guide piece in FIG. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 8 The flow guide member 500 includes a main pipeline 501, a first branch pipe 502 and a second branch pipe 503. The main pipeline 501 is provided with an infusion port 505. The first branch pipe 502 and the second branch pipe 503 are connected in parallel to the main pipeline 501. The first branch pipe 502 is connected to the first flow guide channel 300, and the second support and the second flow guide channel 400 are connected. In actual implementation, after the brewing of the fluid in the brewing chamber 100 is completed, the brewing member 200 is controlled to move toward the brewing chamber 100, the first flow guide channel 300 is controlled to be opened, and the second flow guide channel 400 is controlled to be closed. The fluid in the brewing chamber 100 is drained into the main pipeline 501 through the first flow guide channel 300 and the first branch pipe 502, and is drained to the corresponding equipment through the infusion port 505 of the main pipeline 501 to prepare beverages; after the fluid in the brewing chamber 100 is drained out of a set amount, the brewing member 200 is controlled to move away from the brewing chamber 100. The guide member 500 moves in the same direction, and negative pressure is formed in the brewing chamber 100. The first guide channel 300 is controlled to be closed, and the second guide channel 400 is controlled to be opened, so that the fluid in the main pipeline 501 and the first guide channel 300 is guided into the brewing chamber 100 through the second branch pipe 503 and the opened second guide channel 400, and discharged through the brewing port 102 of the brewing chamber 100, so that the fluid retained in the guide member 500 can be discharged from the brewing chamber 100, so as to avoid the problem of deterioration of fluid quality due to long-term retention of the retained fluid, so as to improve the user experience.

[0076] In the embodiment of the present application, the first branch pipe 502 and the second branch pipe 503 can be integrally formed with the main pipe 501, the first branch pipe 502 is connected to the third guide section 209 of the first guide column 206 through a joint 504, and the second branch pipe 503 is connected to the fourth guide section 211 of the second guide column 210 through another joint 504. In other embodiments, the first branch pipe 502 can be fixed to the outer circumference of the third guide section 209 of the first guide column 206 by threads, and the second branch pipe 503 can be fixed to the outer circumference of the fourth guide section 211 of the second guide column 210 by threads, and then the main pipe 501 is plugged into the first branch pipe 502 and the second branch pipe 503, which is not limited here.

[0077] In the related art, the brewing port 102 is set at the bottom of the brewing chamber 100 to discharge retained fluid residues. However, since the brewing port 102 needs to be closed when brewing fluid in the brewing chamber 100, a device for controlling the opening and closing of the brewing port 102 needs to be set to adapt to different usage conditions, which increases the cost.

[0078] Based on this, combined Figure 1 as well as Figure 2The anti-residue device of the embodiment of the present application further includes a piston member 800, which can be driven by an external force to move back and forth in the brewing chamber 101 to receive the fluid.

[0079] Fig. 9 The flowchart of the beverage preparation method based on the anti-residue device is shown. Fig. 9 , the beverage preparation method comprises:

[0080] S1: Putting brewing material into the brewing chamber 101 of the brewing chamber 100: Under the condition that the brewing chamber 100 and the brewing part 200 are completely separated, the brewing port 102 at the top of the brewing chamber 100 is opened, and brewing material is put into the brewing chamber 101 of the brewing chamber 100 through the opened brewing port 102, and the brewing material can be coffee beans, etc., and the brewing material falls to the top of the piston part 800;

[0081] S2 controls the brewing chamber 100 and the brewing part 200 to move closer to each other until the brewing part 200 closes the brewing port 102 of the brewing chamber 100: in actual implementation, the brewing chamber 100 can be controlled to move closer to the brewing part 200, or the brewing part 200 can be controlled to move closer to the brewing chamber 100, or both the brewing chamber 100 and the brewing part 200 can be controlled to move, so that the brewing chamber 100 and the brewing part 200 move closer to each other;

[0082] S3 injects fluid into the brewing chamber 102: As the brewing chamber 100 and the brewing component 200 move closer to each other, the air in the brewing chamber 100 is compressed, and the first guide channel 300 is at least partially opened. Therefore, fluid can be injected into the brewing chamber 100 through the guide component 500. In other embodiments, a dedicated delivery pipeline can also be provided to inject fluid into the brewing chamber 100, which is not limited here.

[0083] S4 controls the piston 800 to rise, so as to compress the fluid and brewing material on the piston 800 to form a beverage, and opens the first flow guide channel 300 to guide the beverage to the corresponding device through the opened first flow guide channel 300;

[0084] S5 controls the piston 800 to descend, and the piston 800 can descend to the bottom of the brewing chamber 100, so that negative pressure is generated in the brewing chamber 100, so as to close the first guide channel 300 and open the second guide channel 400, and the residual beverage falls onto the piston 800 through the opened second guide channel 400;

[0085] S6 controls the brewing chamber 100 and the brewing part 200 to move away from each other until the brewing port 102 of the brewing chamber 100 opens: in actual implementation, the brewing chamber 100 may be controlled to move away from the brewing part 200, or the brewing part 200 may be controlled to move away from the brewing chamber 100, or both the brewing chamber 100 and the brewing part 200 may be controlled to move, so that the brewing chamber 100 and the brewing part 200 move away from each other;

[0086] S7 controls the piston member 800 to rise to the top of the brewing chamber 100 , and the fluid is discharged from the brewing port 102 of the brewing chamber 100 .

[0087] In the above solution, the rising of the piston 800 can also extract the fluid to produce a beverage, and can avoid the need to separately open a slag discharge port and to add devices to control the opening and closing of the slag discharge port, thereby reducing costs and having good practicality.
