Abstract

After the coffee is brewed, the coffee liquid in the brewing cylinder is pumped to the liquid outlet channel through the pressure relief valve of the upper piston and injected into the user's coffee cup.

When brewing multiple cups of coffee continuously, this problem will be solved, because the brewing of the first cup of coffee is equivalent to preheating the brewing cylinder, so that the subsequent brewing temperature of the coffee is normal and the taste is uniform. Especially in commercial automatic coffee machines, because most customers buy coffee intermittently, the taste of the brewed coffee is inconsistent.
[0005] In the prior art, when brewing coffee, a limiting mechanism is required to make the moving speed of the lower piston slower than that of the brewing cylinder, thereby reducing the volume of the brewing chamber and forming a coffee powder cake. However, the limiting mechanism of the prior art has a complex structure and high cost.
[0006] When the existing powder guide mechanism feeds coffee powder into the brewing cylinder, due to static electricity, part of the coffee powder will pass through the inner cavity of the powder guide mechanism and adhere to the outer wall of the powder guide mechanism, so that the amount of coffee powder in the brewing cylinder is reduced and the concentration of coffee is difficult to ensure.

[0057] Example 1
[0058] See Figure 1-11 As shown, the brewing device includes a frame 1, an upper piston 2, a lower piston 3, a brewing cylinder 4 and a rotating shaft 5. The upper piston 2, the lower piston 3, the brewing cylinder 4 and the rotating shaft 5 are respectively installed on the frame 1. When the lower piston 3 and the brewing cylinder 4 move upward to the lower piston 3 under the drive of the rotating shaft 5, a brewing cylinder for brewing coffee is formed between the upper piston 2, the lower piston 3 and the brewing cylinder 4. It also includes a heating mechanism 6. The top of the upper piston 2 is recessed downward to form a mounting cavity 21. The heating mechanism 6 is installed in the mounting cavity 21 to heat the upper piston 2 and transfer heat to the brewing cylinder. By setting the heating mechanism 6, the upper piston 2 is heated, and the upper piston 2 can also transfer part of the heat to the brewing cylinder, thereby increasing the temperature of the coffee liquid output by the brewing device, so that the brewed coffee has a normal temperature and a uniform taste. It is understandable that the heating mechanism 6 of the present invention can increase the temperature of the upper piston 2 and the brewing cylinder to avoid the upper piston 2 and the brewing cylinder being too low in temperature in cold winter, especially outdoors, which may affect the temperature of the coffee liquid.
[0059] like Figure 2-5 As shown, in a further specific embodiment, the heating mechanism 6 includes: a heat-conducting block 61, installed on the upper piston 2; a heating block 62, arranged above the upper piston 2, with its bottom in contact with the top of the heat-conducting block 61; a heater 63, installed on the heating block 62; the heater 63 is used to heat the heating block 62, and the heat-conducting block 61 is used to transfer the heat of the heating block 62 to the upper piston 2 and the brewing cylinder.
[0060] The heater 63 heats the heating block 62, and the heating block 62 transfers the heat to the heat-conducting block 61, and the heat-conducting block 61 transfers the heat to the brewing cylinder to heat the coffee liquid in the brewing cylinder, thereby increasing the temperature of the first cup of coffee, making the brewed coffee have a normal temperature and a uniform taste. It should be noted that the heater 63 of this embodiment uses a PTC heating element.
[0061] like Figure 2-5 As shown, in a further specific embodiment, at least one stopper 211 protrudes upward from the bottom of the installation cavity 21, and the bottom of the heat-conducting block 61 is recessed upward to form a stopper groove 611 corresponding to the stopper 211, and one stopper groove 611 is engaged with one stopper 211. Through the cooperation of the stopper groove 611 and the stopper 211, the position of the heat-conducting block 61 is limited to prevent the heat-conducting block 61 from rotating and deviating during use. It should be noted that the stopper 211 of this embodiment can also play a role in strengthening the strength of the upper piston 2.
[0062] As a preferred embodiment, the number of the limiting members 211 in this embodiment is four, the number of the limiting grooves 611 is four, the four limiting members 211 are respectively engaged with the four limiting grooves 611, and the four limiting grooves 611 are equidistantly arranged around the bottom of the heat conductive block 61.
[0063] In other specific embodiments, the number of the limiting members 211 may be two or three or more, the number of the limiting grooves 611 corresponds to the number of the limiting members 211 , and the limiting grooves 611 are equidistantly arranged around the bottom of the heat conducting block 61 .
[0064] It should be noted that a plurality of stoppers 211 are also arranged around the bottom of the mounting cavity 21 at equal distances, which can further increase the strength of the upper piston 2 .
[0065] like Figure 2-5 As shown, in a further specific embodiment, a pressure relief valve 22 for passing coffee liquid is installed in the installation cavity 21, a first through hole 612 for installing the pressure relief valve 22 is opened in the middle of the heat conductive block 61, the input end of the pressure relief valve 22 is connected to the output end of the brewing cylinder, the output end of the pressure relief valve 22 is provided with a liquid outlet pipe, and a second through hole 621 for passing the liquid outlet pipe is opened in the middle of the heating block 62.
[0066] The first through hole 612 is provided so that the pressure relief valve 22 can pass through the heat conductive block 61 smoothly, thereby preventing the heat conductive block 61 from affecting the installation of the pressure relief valve 22. The size of the first through hole 612 is set so that the heat conductive block 61 fits the pressure relief valve 22 through the first through hole 612, thereby increasing the temperature of the pressure relief valve 22 and further ensuring the stability of the taste of the first cup of coffee. The second through hole 621 is provided so that the liquid outlet pipe can pass through the heating block 62 smoothly, thereby preventing the heating block 62 from affecting the installation of the liquid outlet pipe.
[0067] like Figure 2-5As shown, in a further specific embodiment, the side wall of the upper piston 2 is provided with a slot 23 penetrating the upper piston 2, a latch 24 is arranged in the slot 23, the heat conducting block 61 is provided with a through slot 613, and the latch 24 passes through the through slot 613 and the slot 23 and penetrates the heat conducting block 61 and the upper piston 2 respectively. Through the provision of the through slot 613, the latch 24 can limit the heat conducting block 61 after being inserted into the heat conducting block 61, so as to avoid the heat conducting block 61 from rotating and deviating during use.
[0068] like Figure 6-9 As shown, in a further specific embodiment, a limiting mechanism 7 is also included, and the limiting mechanism 7 includes: an elastic buckle 71, which is installed on the lower piston 3 and has a limiting cavity 711 in the middle; a limiting buckle 72, the bottom of which is installed on the bottom of the frame 1, and the top extends into the limiting cavity 711 and is engaged with the elastic buckle 71; wherein the elastic buckle 71 includes a mounting seat 712 and at least two spring pieces 713, the mounting seat 712 is connected to the lower piston 3, at least two spring pieces 712 are respectively installed on the mounting seat 712, and there is a gap between two adjacent spring pieces 712. Through the cooperation of the elastic buckle 71 and the limiting buckle 72, the speed of movement of the lower piston 3 is less than the speed of movement of the brewing cylinder 4, thereby achieving the reduction of the volume of the brewing chamber and the formation of coffee powder cakes, the structure is simple, and the production cost is reduced compared with the prior art.
[0069] like Figure 6-9 As shown, in a further specific embodiment, the inner side of the elastic sheet 712 protrudes toward the axial position of the mounting seat 712 to form a first clamping protrusion 714 for limiting the position of the limit pull buckle 72, and the outer side of the limit pull buckle 72 protrudes outward to form a second clamping protrusion 721 that cooperates with the first clamping protrusion 714. When the elastic buckle 71 moves up and down on the limit pull buckle 72, the friction between the two is increased by the setting of the first clamping protrusion 714. The outer side of the limit pull buckle 72 protrudes outward to form a second clamping protrusion 721 that cooperates with the first clamping protrusion 714. In cooperation with the second clamping protrusion 721, the moving speed of the lower piston 3 is limited, thereby achieving coffee brewing.
[0070] like Figure 6-9As shown, in a further specific embodiment, the limiting mechanism 7 further includes a mounting member 73 and a fixing member 74. The mounting member 73 extends through the mounting seat 712 into the lower piston 3. By setting the mounting member 73, the mounting seat 712 is installed in the lower piston 3, which has a simple structure and strong stability. The mounting seat 712 has a first mounting hole 7121, and the mounting member 73 has a second mounting hole 731. When the mounting member 73 extends into the second mounting groove, the first mounting hole 7121 coincides with the second mounting hole 731, and the fixing member 74 fixes the mounting member 73 in the mounting seat 712 through the first mounting hole 7121 and the second mounting hole 731. It should be noted that the fixing member 74 of this embodiment is a screw, and the mounting member 73 is fixed in the mounting seat 712 by the screw, so that the mounting seat 712 is fixed on the lower piston 3.
[0071] like Figure 10-11 As shown, in a further specific embodiment, a powder guiding mechanism 8 is also included, and the powder guiding mechanism 8 includes: a powder channel 81, which has a "U"-shaped cross-section and is respectively installed on the inner sides of the two frames 1; a baffle 82, which is installed at the bottom of the powder channel 81, and the width of the baffle 82 is greater than or equal to the depth of the powder channel 81; when the brewing cylinder 4 moves upward to the powder adding position, the bottom of the powder channel 81 is toward the center position of the brewing cylinder 4.
[0072] By setting the baffle 82, the powder blocking area is increased, so as to prevent the coffee powder from bypassing the baffle 82 and adhering to the powder channel 81 and the outer side of the baffle 82 under the action of static electricity, and to prevent the amount of coffee powder in the brewing cylinder 4 from being reduced, so that the concentration of the coffee is guaranteed. As a preferred embodiment, the width of the baffle 82 of this embodiment is greater than the depth of the powder channel 81. In this way, part of the coffee powder can only adhere to the inner side of the baffle 82 under the action of static electricity, and fall into the brewing cylinder 4 under accumulation, thereby ensuring the amount of coffee powder in the brewing cylinder 4. It should be noted that the center position of the brewing cylinder 4 referred to in this embodiment is the center position of the top of the brewing cylinder 4, at which position the coffee powder can just accumulate in the middle of the brewing cylinder 4, so that more coffee powder can be carried. There will be a certain gap between the coffee powder after it enters the brewing cylinder 4. When a specified amount of coffee powder enters the brewing cylinder 4, the coffee powder in the middle will exceed and be exposed at the top of the brewing cylinder 4. When the brewing cylinder 4 and the lower piston 3 continue to move upward to form a brewing chamber with the upper piston 2, the upper piston 2 will press the coffee powder downward, so that more coffee powder can be carried.
