[0096] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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 making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0097] Fully automatic coffee machines can automatically complete the grinding, filling, tamping, and extraction processes. To improve the production efficiency of fully automatic coffee machines, fully automatic coffee machines can be equipped with multiple extraction tanks, which can be filled, tamped, and extracted in sequence.

[0098] When a current fully automatic coffee machine is in operation, the waste remaining after a single extraction cylinder completes coffee making needs to be cleaned separately, resulting in the inability to further improve the production efficiency of the fully automatic coffee machine.

[0099] In the powder material device proposed in the present application, the multiple powder material chambers of the cylinder body can each accommodate powder material, and the first drive assembly drives the cylinder body to move relative to the base, so that the multiple powder material chambers of the cylinder body can be respectively opposite to the powder pressing member. When the powder material chamber is opposite to the powder pressing chamber, the powder pressing member can move toward the bottom wall of the powder material chamber to squeeze the powder material in the powder material chamber to form a powder cake, so that the powder material in multiple powder material chambers can be squeezed into powder cakes. After the powder cakes in the multiple powder material chambers are extracted, the powder cakes in the multiple powder material chambers can be processed uniformly, so that there is no need to clean the powder cakes separately after the powder cakes in a single powder material chamber are extracted, thereby improving the powder material processing efficiency of the powder material device of the present application.

[0100] The contents of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can understand the contents of this application more clearly and in detail.

[0101] This application proposes a powder device, referring to Figures 1 to 3A As shown, it comprises a base 100, a cylinder 200, a powder pressing member 310 and a first driving assembly 400. The powder device is applied to a coffee machine or other beverage making devices.

[0102] Among them, the base 100 is the basic component of the powder device of the present application, and the base 100 can provide an installation foundation for at least some of the other components of the powder device. The base 100 can be made of metal material, so that the base 100 has better structural strength, thereby making the durability and reliability of the base 100 better. The base 100 can also be made of polymer material, so that the base 100 has a certain structural strength while being relatively light in weight. In addition, the base 100 can also adopt a structure of part metal and part polymer material. Specifically, the main structure of the base 100 and the parts that are easily impacted by external forces or easily damaged can be made of metal material, and the other parts of the base 100 can be made of polymer material. In this way, the base 100 can be made of good structural strength without being too heavy, thereby reducing the weight of the powder device.

[0103] A powder channel is provided in the base 100, and the base 100 also has a discharge port 140, which is connected to the powder channel. The main base 100 is configured to output powder through the discharge port 140. Specifically, a grinding mechanism is provided inside the base 100, and the base 100 can also be provided with a feed port, and large-particle-sized raw materials or block-shaped raw materials can be placed into the base 100 through the feed port. The grinding mechanism in the base 100 can grind large-particle-sized raw materials or block-shaped raw materials into powder, and output the ground powder through the powder channel and the discharge port 140. The grinding mechanism can be a grinding knife, and the raw materials can be cut and crushed by rotating the grinding knife to form powder.

[0104] The cylinder body 200 is movably connected to the base 100, allowing the cylinder body 200 to be driven relative to the base 100. The cylinder body 200 has multiple powder chambers 210, which are internal cavities of the base 100 and can be used to load powder. Accordingly, the cylinder body 200 also has openings communicating with the powder chambers 210. Any of the multiple powder chambers 210 of the cylinder body 200 can be aligned with the discharge port 140 of the base 100, allowing the ground powder to be delivered into the powder chamber 210 through the discharge port 140.

[0105] Specifically, the powder chamber 210 of the cylinder 200 can be disposed on one side of the bottom of the discharge port 140 of the base 100. The discharge port 140 is located on one side of the bottom of the powder channel 120 of the base 100. The powder discharged from the discharge port 140 can fall into the powder chamber 210 under the action of gravity. In this way, no additional components for conveying the powder into the powder chamber 210 are required within the base 100, which simplifies the structure of the base 100 and reduces the cost of the powder feeding device of the present application.

[0106] Of course, it should be understood that when the base 100 is not provided with a powder channel and a discharge port 140 , powder can be delivered into the powder cavity 210 by other devices or by manual addition by the user.

[0107] The powder processing assembly 300 is mounted on the base 100 and processes the powder within the powder chamber 210. The first drive assembly 400 drives the cylinder 200 relative to the base 100, allowing the opening of any of the multiple powder chambers 210 in the cylinder 200 to face the powder processing assembly 300. At this point, the powder processing assembly 300 can process the powder within the powder chamber 210 accordingly.

[0108] After the powder in one of the multiple powder cavities 210 has been processed by the powder processing assembly 300, the first drive assembly 400 can drive the cylinder 200 to move until the opening of another powder cavity 210 faces the powder processing assembly 300, allowing the powder processing assembly 300 to process the powder in the other powder cavity 210. As the first drive assembly 400 continues to drive the cylinder 200 relative to the base 100, the openings of the multiple powder cavities 210 can be sequentially moved to face the powder processing assembly 300, allowing the powder in each of the multiple powder cavities 210 to be processed by the powder processing assembly 300.

[0109] After the powder in the powder chamber 210 is processed into waste by the powder processing assembly 300, the waste needs to be cleaned out of the powder chamber 210. Since the multiple powder chambers 210 are all located in the cylinder body 200, the waste in the multiple powder chambers 210 can be cleaned out collectively after the powder in the multiple powder chambers 210 is processed. In this way, after the cylinder body 200 and the base 100 are disassembled, the waste in the multiple powder chambers 210 can be processed collectively without having to disassemble the cylinder body 200 multiple times to process the waste in the powder chamber 210, thereby improving the use efficiency of the powder feeding device of the present application.

[0110] Specifically, the powder processing assembly 300 of the present application may include a powder pressing member 310, which is movably arranged on the base 100, and a first driving assembly 400 is arranged on the base 100, and the first driving assembly 400 is connected to the cylinder 200. The first driving assembly 400 can drive the cylinder 200 to move relative to the base 100, so that the opening of any one of the multiple powder cavities 210 of the cylinder 200 can be opposite to the powder pressing member 310. At this time, the powder pressing member 310 can be driven to move toward the bottom wall of the powder cavity 210, that is, Figure 3A The powder pressing member 310 moves in the X direction in the powder cavity 210 and squeezes the powder in the powder cavity 210. As the powder pressing member 310 continues to move toward the bottom wall of the powder cavity 210, the powder in the powder cavity 210 can be continuously compressed to form a powder cake structure.

[0111] After the powder in one of the multiple powder chambers 210 is compressed by the powder pressing member 310 to form a powder cake structure, the first drive assembly 400 can drive the cylinder 200 to move until the opening of another powder chamber 210 is opposite the powder pressing member 310, allowing the powder pressing member 310 to move toward the bottom wall of the other powder chamber 210 to compress the powder in the other powder chamber 210 into a powder cake structure. As the first drive assembly 400 continues to drive the cylinder 200 relative to the base 100, the openings of the multiple powder chambers 210 can be sequentially aligned with the powder pressing member 310, so that the powder in each of the multiple powder chambers 210 can be compressed by the powder pressing member 310 to form a powder cake structure.

[0112] When the powder material is coffee powder, liquid can be injected into the powder chamber 210 so that the coffee powder in the form of a powder cake can be extracted to produce concentrated coffee. After the powder cake is extracted, it becomes waste and needs to be cleaned out of the powder chamber 210. Since the multiple powder chambers 210 are all located in the cylinder body 200, after the powder cakes in the multiple powder chambers 210 are extracted, the powder cakes in the multiple powder chambers 210 can be cleaned together. In this way, after the cylinder body 200 and the base 100 are disassembled, the waste materials in the multiple powder chambers 210 can be processed together, without having to disassemble the cylinder body 200 multiple times to process the waste materials in the powder chambers 210, thereby improving the efficiency of the powder feeding device of the present application.

[0113] Specifically, the powder chamber 210 can be provided with a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet facing away from the powder pressing member 310. Liquid can be injected into the powder chamber 210 through the liquid inlet, and the extracted liquid can be discharged out of the powder chamber 210 through the liquid outlet. The liquid inlet can be provided at the bottom of the powder chamber 210.

[0114] refer to Figures 3A to 3C As shown, in addition, the powder processing assembly 300 of the present application may further include a powder conveying member 320. The powder conveying member 320 may be disposed on the base 100, and specifically may be disposed in the powder channel of the base 100. The conveying end of the powder conveying member 320 may be opposite to the discharge port 140 of the base 100. The first driving assembly 400 may drive the cylinder 200 to move relative to the base 100, so that the opening of any one of the multiple powder cavities 210 of the cylinder 200 may be opposite to the powder conveying member 320. In this case, the powder conveying member 320 may convey powder into the powder cavity 210 through the discharge port 140.

[0115] The first driving assembly 400 drives the multiple powder cavities 210 to face the discharge port 140 respectively, and the powder conveying member 320 can convey powder into the multiple powder cavities 210 respectively.

[0116] Specifically, the first drive assembly 400 can first drive one of the multiple powder chambers 210 to face the discharge port 140 of the base 100, allowing the powder conveying member 320 to convey and separate the powder into the powder chamber 210. After the powder is conveyed into the powder chamber 210, the first drive assembly 400 can drive the cylinder 200 to move relative to the base 100, so that the powder chamber 210 moves to face the powder pressing member 310. The powder pressing member 310 can move toward the bottom wall of the powder chamber 210 to compress the powder in the powder chamber 210 into a powder cake structure. By driving the multiple powder chambers 210 in sequence with the discharge port 140 of the base 100 by the first drive assembly 400, each of the multiple powder chambers 210 can be filled with powder, and the powder is pressed into a powder cake structure by the powder pressing member 310.

[0117] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3A As shown, the cylinder body 200 of the present application is rotatably connected to the base 100, allowing the cylinder body 200 to rotate relative to the base 100. The multiple powder chambers 210 of the cylinder body 200 are spaced apart around the rotational connection between the cylinder body 200 and the base 100. Accordingly, after the first drive assembly 400 drives the cylinder body 200 to rotate around the rotational connection between the cylinder body 200 and the base 100, the multiple powder chambers 210 can be sequentially aligned with the powder pressing member 310. By rotating the cylinder body 200 relative to the base 100, the range of movement of the cylinder body 200 relative to the base 100 can be reduced, making the structure of the powder feeding device of the present application more compact.

[0118] Specifically, the cylinder body 200 of the present application can be set to a cylindrical structure, so that when the cylinder body 200 rotates relative to the base 100, the position of the rotational connection between the cylinder body 200 and the base 100 will not change, and the outer periphery of the cylinder body 200 is within the same circumferential range, so that the range of movement of the cylinder body 200 is relatively smaller.

[0119] Of course, in other embodiments, the cylinder body 200 may also adopt a polygonal column structure, so that the range of movement of the cylinder body 200 during rotation is relatively small, making the structure of the powder device of the present application more compact.

[0120] In some embodiments, the multiple powder chambers 210 of the cylinder body 200 include a first powder chamber 210a and a second powder chamber 210b. When the first powder chamber 210a is opposite to the powder pressing member 310, the second powder chamber 210b is opposite to the powder conveying member 320. This ensures that two powder chambers 210 in the multiple powder chambers 210 can be respectively opposite to the powder conveying member 320 and the powder pressing member 310 at the same time. In this way, the powder can be transported into the powder chamber 210 and the powder in the powder chamber 210 can be squeezed into a powder cake structure simultaneously, thereby improving the separation processing efficiency of the powder device of the present application.

[0121] In some embodiments, the first powder chamber 210a and the second powder chamber 210b can be arranged adjacent to each other. In this way, when the powder conveying member 320 conveys powder into any powder chamber 210, the first driving assembly 400 drives the cylinder body 200 to rotate to the minimum angle, and the powder chamber 210 can be opposite to the powder pressing member 310, thereby improving the continuity of powder processing in the powder chamber 210, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the powder device of the present application.

[0122] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3A As shown, in order to make the structure of the powder feeding device of the present application more compact, the first driving assembly 400 can be configured to be connected to the powder pressing member 310. When the opening of the powder feeding chamber 210 is opposite to the powder pressing member 310, the first driving assembly 400 is configured to drive the powder pressing member 310 to move toward the bottom wall of the powder feeding chamber 210. By having the first driving assembly 400 drive the powder pressing member 310 to move toward the bottom wall of the powder feeding chamber 210, it is unnecessary to provide a separate assembly for driving the powder pressing member 310 to move toward the bottom wall of the powder feeding chamber 210. This can reduce the number of components of the powder feeding device of the present application, simplify the structure of the powder feeding device, and make the powder feeding device more compact with lower manufacturing costs.

[0123] In some embodiments, in order for the first driving assembly 400 to drive the powder compact 310 to move toward the bottom wall of the powder chamber 210 of the cylinder 200, the first driving assembly 400 may include a driver 410 and a first transmission member 420. The driver 410 has an output end, the output end of the driver 410 is rotatable, and the output end of the driver 410 is connected to the powder compact 310 via the first transmission member 420. The first transmission member 420 can convert the rotational force of the output end of the driver 410 into a force that drives the powder compact 310 to move toward the bottom wall of the powder chamber 210 of the cylinder 200.

[0124] Specifically, the driver 410 can be a motor, and the output end of the driver 410 is the output shaft of the motor. The cost of the motor is relatively low, which can make the cost of the first drive assembly 400 low, thereby reducing the preparation cost of the powder device of the present application.

[0125] In some embodiments, reference Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in order for the first transmission member 420 to convert the rotational force at the output end of the driver 410 into a force that drives the powder compact 310 to move toward the bottom wall of the powder chamber 210, the first transmission member 420 may include a first transmission portion 421 and a first transmission rod 422. The first transmission portion 421 is sleeved on the first transmission rod 422 and is threadedly connected to the first transmission rod 422. One end of the first transmission rod 422 is connected to the powder compact 310, and the first transmission portion 421 is connected to the output end of the driver 410.

[0126] The first transmission portion 421 and the first transmission rod 422 can form a threaded screw structure. After the driver 410 drives the first transmission portion 421 to rotate, the first transmission rod 422 can move relative to the first transmission portion 421 along the axis of the first transmission rod 422. The axis of the first transmission rod 422 is the direction in which the powder pressing element 310 is relative to the bottom wall of the powder chamber 210 of the cylinder 200. In this way, after the output end of the driver 410 rotates, it can drive the first transmission rod 422 to move, thereby driving the powder pressing element 310 toward the bottom wall of the powder chamber 210, thereby squeezing the powder in the powder chamber 210 to form a powder cake structure.

[0127] The thread lead angle of the first transmission rod 422 can be set to 6 degrees to 15 degrees, so that when the first transmission part 421 does not rotate, the first transmission rod 422 and the first transmission part 421 can be relatively fixed to achieve self-locking.

[0128] In some embodiments, in order to enable the driver 410 of the present application to drive the first transmission part 421 to rotate, the first transmission member 420 may also be provided with a second transmission part 423, the second transmission part 423 and the first transmission part 421 are both gears, and the second transmission part 423 is engaged with the first transmission part 421, and the second transmission part 423 is connected to the output end of the driver 410.

[0129] Specifically, the axis of the output end of the driver 410 coincides with the axis of the second transmission part 423 . After the driver 410 drives the second transmission part 423 to rotate, the first transmission part 421 can be driven to rotate.

[0130] By providing the second transmission part 423 , the driver 410 can avoid the first transmission rod 422 and the first transmission part 421 , so that the first transmission rod 422 and the first transmission part 421 can be arranged more flexibly.

[0131] In some embodiments, reference Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in order to enable the first drive assembly 400 of the present application to also drive the cylinder body 200 to rotate, the powder device of the present application may also be provided with a connecting shaft 500, the connecting shaft 500 is connected to the cylinder body 200, and the multiple powder chambers 210 of the cylinder body 200 are arranged at intervals around the connecting shaft 500. The connecting shaft 500 is rotatably connected to the base 100, so that the cylinder body 200 as a whole can rotate relative to the base 100 via the connecting shaft 500. The first drive assembly 400 is connected to the connecting shaft 500, and the first drive assembly 400 can drive the connecting shaft 500 to rotate, thereby driving the cylinder body 200 to rotate as a whole, so that the multiple powder chambers 210 of the cylinder body 200 can also rotate.

[0132] Multiple powder chambers 210 can be evenly distributed around the connecting shaft 500, so that the first drive assembly 400 can drive the cylinder body 200 to rotate in the same direction and the same angle multiple times, so that the multiple powder chambers 210 are respectively opposite to the powder pressing part 310 or the powder conveying part 320 in the powder processing assembly 300.

[0133] In addition, in other embodiments, adjacent powder chambers 210 can also be set with different spacings, so that the first drive component 400 drives the cylinder body 200 to rotate at different angles each time, so that multiple powder chambers 210 are respectively opposite to the powder pressing part 310 or the powder conveying part 320 in the powder processing component 300.

[0134] Specifically, the connecting shaft 500 can be configured to be detachably connected or fixedly connected to the main portion of the cylinder body 200, and this application is not limited thereto. The connecting shaft 500 can be disposed through the center of the cylinder body 200 and serves as the rotational connection between the cylinder body 200 and the base 100. The multiple powder chambers 210 of the cylinder body 200 can rotate about the axis of the connecting shaft 500. Accordingly, the multiple powder chambers 210 of the cylinder body 200 can respectively face the powder pressing member 310.

[0135] In some embodiments, reference Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the first drive assembly 400 in the present application further includes a second transmission member 430, which is connected to the first transmission rod 422. Accordingly, when the first transmission rod 422 is driven to rotate along the axis of the first transmission rod 422, the second transmission member 430 can move accordingly. When the second transmission member 430 moves along the axis of the first transmission rod 422, the second transmission member 430 can drive the connecting shaft 500 to rotate, thereby allowing the multiple powder chambers 210 of the cylinder body 200 to respectively face the powder pressing member 310.

[0136] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 As shown, the connecting shaft 500 of the present application has a first guide surface 521a. The first guide surface 521a is spirally arranged around the first axis, and the first axis is arranged at an angle to the axis of the connecting shaft 500. The first axis is Figure 6 In the Y direction, the axis of the connecting shaft 500 is Figure 6 When the first transmission rod 422 drives the second transmission member 430 to move in a first direction parallel to the axis of the connecting shaft 500, the second transmission member 430 can move to contact the first guide surface 521a, and the second transmission member 430 can move along the first guide surface 521a, so that the connecting shaft 500 rotates in a preset circumferential direction that is the same as the circumferential direction of the connecting shaft 500.

[0137] Specifically, the first guide surface 521a is a curved structure, and the first guide surface 521a as a whole extends in a direction at an angle to the axis of the connecting shaft 500, so that the first guide surface 521a extends both along the circumference of the connecting shaft 500 and along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 500.

[0138] When the first transmission rod 422 drives the second transmission member 430 to move in a first direction parallel to the axis of the connecting shaft 500, the second transmission member 430 exerts a force in the first direction. When the second transmission member 430 contacts the first guide surface 521a, the second transmission member 430 and the first guide surface 521a abut against each other. The first guide surface 521a can convert part of the force exerted by the second transmission member 430 in the first direction into a force that drives the connecting shaft 500 to rotate in a predetermined circumferential direction, thereby enabling the connecting shaft 500 to rotate in the predetermined circumferential direction. As a result, the cylinder body 200 as a whole can rotate about the axis of the connecting shaft 500, and the multiple powder chambers 210 of the cylinder body 200 can each rotate relative to the powder pressing member 310.

[0139] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 As shown, the second transmission member 430 of the present application can be provided with a first transmission surface 431. When the second transmission member 430 contacts the first guide surface 521a, the first transmission surface 431 abuts against the first guide surface 521a. This eliminates any gap between the first transmission surface 431 and the first guide surface 521a, resulting in better contact between the second transmission member 430 and the first guide surface 521a, smoother interaction between the second transmission member 430 and the first guide surface 521a, and smoother rotation of the connecting shaft 500 by the second transmission member 430.

[0140] Specifically, the first transmission surface 431 can also be set to a curved surface structure, and the curved surface structure of the first transmission surface 431 matches the curved surface structure of the first guide surface 521a, so that the first transmission surface 431 can be set in close contact with the first guide surface 521a.

[0141] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 As shown, the connecting shaft 500 of the present application may be provided with a second guide surface 522a. The second guide surface 522a is spirally arranged around the second axis, and the second axis is arranged at an angle to the axis of the connecting shaft 500. The second axis is Figure 6 The first guide surface 521a and the second guide surface 522a are distributed along the axis of the connecting shaft 500.

[0142] When the first transmission rod 422 drives the second transmission member 430 to move along a second direction parallel to the axis of the connecting shaft 500 and opposite to the first direction, the second transmission member 430 can move to contact the second guide surface 522a, and the second transmission member 430 can move along the second guide surface 522a to make the connecting shaft 500 rotate along a preset circumferential direction that is the same as the circumferential direction of the connecting shaft 500.

[0143] Specifically, the second guide surface 522a is a curved structure, and the second guide surface 522a as a whole extends in a direction at an angle to the axis of the connecting shaft 500, so that the second guide surface 522a extends both along the circumference of the connecting shaft 500 and along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 500.

[0144] When the first transmission rod 422 drives the second transmission member 430 to move in a second direction parallel to the axis of the connecting shaft 500, the second transmission member 430 exerts a force in the second direction. When the second transmission member 430 contacts the second guide surface 522a, the second transmission member 430 and the second guide surface 522a abut against each other. The second guide surface 522a can convert part of the force exerted by the second transmission member 430 in the second direction into a force that drives the connecting shaft 500 to rotate in a predetermined circumferential direction, thereby enabling the connecting shaft 500 to rotate in the predetermined circumferential direction. As a result, the cylinder body 200 as a whole can rotate about the axis of the connecting shaft 500, and the multiple powder chambers 210 of the cylinder body 200 can each rotate relative to the powder pressing member 310.

[0145] By rotating the driving end of the driver 410 in two opposite directions, the first transmission rod 422 can be moved in either the first or second direction. This in turn causes the second transmission member 430 to move in either the first or second direction. When the second transmission member 430 moves in either the first or second direction, it drives the connecting shaft 500 to rotate, thereby rotating the cylinder body 200 as a whole. This allows the first transmission rod 422 to reciprocate, reducing its range of motion. This results in a more compact structure for the first drive assembly 400 in all states, further enhancing the compactness of the powder feeding device of the present application.

[0146] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 As shown, the second transmission member 430 of the present application can be provided with a second transmission surface 432. When the second transmission member 430 contacts the second guide surface 522a, the second transmission surface 432 abuts against the second guide surface 522a. This eliminates any gap between the second transmission surface 432 and the second guide surface 522a, resulting in better contact between the second transmission member 430 and the second guide surface 522a, smoother interaction between the second transmission member 430 and the second guide surface 522a, and smoother rotation of the connecting shaft 500 by the second transmission member 430.

[0147] Specifically, the second transmission surface 432 can also be set to a curved surface structure, and the curved surface structure of the second transmission surface 432 matches the curved surface structure of the second guide surface 522a, so that the second transmission surface 432 can be set in close contact with the second guide surface 522a.

[0148] In some embodiments, the connecting shaft 500 and the second transmission member 430 of the present application may be made of a polymer material, specifically a plastic material. The first guide surface 521a and the second guide surface 522a may be smooth or rough, without limitation in this application. Accordingly, the first transmission surface 431 and the second transmission surface 432 of the second transmission member 430 may also be smooth or rough.

[0149] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 As shown, the number of the first guide surface 521a and the second guide surface 522a are both multiple, and the multiple first guide surfaces 521a and the multiple second guide surfaces 522a are spaced apart along the circumference of the connecting shaft 500. A preset plane is defined, and the preset plane is perpendicular to the axis of the connecting shaft 500, that is, perpendicular to the axis of the connecting shaft 500. Figure 6 The X direction is vertical.

[0150] The orthographic projections of the multiple first guide surfaces 521a on the preset plane are first projections, and the orthographic projections of the multiple second guide surfaces 522a on the preset plane are second projections. The multiple first projections and the multiple second projections are alternately arranged along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 500.

[0151] Specifically, when the first guide surface 521a and the second transmission member 430 slide relative to each other until the first guide surface 521a and the second transmission member 430 are separated or about to be separated, the second guide surface 522a faces the second transmission surface 432 of the second transmission member 430. In this way, after the first transmission rod 422 moves in the second direction, the second guide surface 522a can contact the second transmission member 430, and as the first transmission rod 422 continues to move in the second direction, the connecting shaft 500 can rotate along the predetermined circumferential direction.

[0152] When the second guide surface 522a slides relative to the second transmission member 430 until the second guide surface 522a is separated from the second transmission member 430 or is about to be separated, the first guide surface 521a is opposite to the first transmission surface 431 of the second transmission member 430. In this way, after the first transmission rod 422 moves in the first direction, the first guide surface 521a can contact the second transmission member 430, and as the first transmission rod 422 continues to move in the first direction, the connecting shaft 500 can continue to rotate in the predetermined circumferential direction.

[0153] Therefore, when the first transmission rod 422 reciprocates along the first direction or the second direction, the connecting shaft 500 can continue to rotate along the preset circumferential direction.

[0154] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 As shown, along the circumference of the connecting shaft 500, the two sides of any first projection overlap with two adjacent second projections. Specifically, when the second transmission member 430 slides along any one of the predetermined first guide surfaces 521a until the first guide surface 521a is close to separating from the second transmission member 430, the second guide surface 522a adjacent to the predetermined first guide surface 521a can be opposite the second transmission surface 432 of the second transmission member 430. This ensures that the second guide surface 522a can contact and mate with the second transmission member 430 after the second transmission member 430 moves in the second direction.

[0155] When the second transmission member 430 slides along any preset second guide surface 522a until the second guide surface 522a is close to being separated from the second transmission member 430, the first guide surface 521a adjacent to the preset second guide surface 522a can be opposite to the first transmission surface 431 of the second transmission member 430, thereby ensuring that the first guide surface 521a can contact and cooperate with the second transmission member 430 after the second transmission member 430 moves along the first direction.

[0156] In some embodiments, the number of the first guide surfaces 521 a and the second guide surfaces 522 a of the present application is the same, and the number of the first guide surfaces 521 a and the second guide surfaces 522 a is an integer multiple of the number of the powder chambers 210 of the cylinder 200 .

[0157] Along the circumference of the connecting shaft 500, the first guide surface 521a has a first end and a second end. The connecting shaft 500 rotates through a first angle as the second transmission member 430 moves from contact with the first end of the first guide surface 521a to separation from the second end. The second guide surface 522a has a third end and a fourth end. The connecting shaft 500 rotates through a second angle as the second transmission member 430 moves from contact with the third end of the second guide surface 522a to separation from the fourth end. The sum of the first and second angles is a third angle. The angle between the centers of two adjacent powder chambers 210 and the connecting shaft 500 is a fourth angle, which is the same as the fourth angle. This allows the second transmission member 430 to slide with the adjacent first and second guide surfaces 521a, 522a, respectively, allowing the cylinder 200 to rotate so that one powder chamber 210 faces the powder compact 310 and the other faces the powder compact 310.

[0158] Specifically, when the number of powder cavities 210 is five, the fourth angle between adjacent powder cavities 210 is 72 degrees, and the corresponding third angle, which is the sum of the first angle and the second angle, is also 72 degrees. When the number of powder cavities 210 is six, the fourth angle between adjacent powder cavities 210 is 60 degrees, and the corresponding third angle, which is the sum of the first angle and the second angle, is also 60 degrees.

[0159] In this application, the helix angles of the first guide surface 521a, the second guide surface 522a, the first transmission surface 431 and the second transmission surface 432 can be set to 10 degrees-80 degrees, so that the second transmission member 430 can cooperate with the first guide surface 521a and the second guide surface 522a to make the connecting shaft 500 rotate smoothly.

[0160] In some embodiments, the first transmission surface 431 and the second transmission surface 432 of the present application are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the second transmission member 430 in the first direction or the second direction. The connecting shaft 500 may be provided with a slot located between adjacent second guide surfaces 522a. Specifically, the connecting shaft 500 has a plurality of protruding second guide portions 522 and a plurality of first guide portions 521, the first guide surface 521a being provided on the first guide portion 521, and the second guide surface 522a being provided on the second guide surface 522. Among the plurality of second guide portions 522 of the connecting shaft 500, a slot 530 may be provided between adjacent second guide portions 522. When the second transmission member 430 moves in the second direction and the second guide surface 522a separates from the second transmission member 430, a portion of the second transmission member 430 is embedded in the slot 530, and the slot 530 cooperates with the second transmission member 430 at the circumferential upper limit of the connecting shaft 500.

[0161] When part of the second transmission member 430 is embedded in the slot 530, one of the multiple powder chambers 210 of the cylinder body 200 is opposite to the powder pressing plate 310. In this way, when the powder pressing assembly of the present application has not yet been activated and the powder pressing plate 310 is not aligned with the powder chamber 210, the second transmission member 430 can be driven to move into the slot 530 to align the powder pressing plate 310 with any powder chamber 210 before powder can be added to the powder chamber 210.

[0162] Because the plurality of second guide portions 522 are spaced apart along the circumference of the connecting shaft 500, the plurality of retaining grooves 530 are also distributed along the circumference of the connecting shaft 500. When the second transmission member 430 is embedded in the retaining grooves 530, the outer walls of the second transmission member 430 on either side of the circumference of the connecting shaft 500 can be respectively restrained by the inner walls of the retaining grooves 530 on either side of the circumference of the connecting shaft 500. As the second transmission member 430 continues to move in the second direction, it restricts the rotation of the connecting shaft 500, ensuring that the powder chamber 210 of the cylinder body 200 is positioned relative to the powder pressing member 310. This allows the powder pressing member 310 to accurately move toward the bottom wall of the powder chamber 210 after the first drive assembly 400 drives the powder pressing member 310 to move, thereby compressing the powder in the powder chamber 210 into a powder cake structure.

[0163] When the second transmission member 430 is partially embedded in the slot 530 on the connecting shaft 500, there is a clearance between the second transmission member 430 and the slot 530. The clearance is 0.1mm-0.5mm. The width tolerance of the slot 530 in the circumferential direction of the connecting shaft 500 is plus or minus 0.05mm. Accordingly, the width tolerance of the portion of the second transmission member 430 embedded in the slot 530 is plus or minus 0.05mm.

[0164] In addition, in other embodiments, the powder device of the present application may further be provided with a third drive assembly, which may be provided on the base 100 and may independently drive the cylinder 200 to rotate. Specifically, the third drive assembly may directly drive the connecting shaft 500 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the cylinder 200.

[0165] In some embodiments, reference Figures 8 to 9 As shown, the connecting shaft 500 of the present application can be configured to include a first shaft body 510 and a second shaft body 520, wherein the first shaft body 510 is arranged through the cylinder body 200, the second shaft body 520 is connected to the first driving assembly 400, and the first shaft body 510 and the second shaft body 520 are detachably connected.

[0166] Specifically, the second shaft 520 can be movably connected to the base 100, and the second shaft 520 is connected to the first drive assembly 400. When the first shaft 510 and the second shaft 520 are connected, the first drive assembly 400 drives the second shaft 520 to rotate, which can drive the first shaft 510 to rotate, so that the cylinder 200 can rotate relative to the base 100.

[0167] When the cylinder body 200 and the base 100 need to be disassembled to uniformly process the waste materials in the multiple powder chambers 210 of the cylinder body 200, the first shaft body 510 and the second shaft body 520 can be disassembled so that the cylinder body 200 can be separated from the first drive assembly 400, so that the cylinder body 200 can be easily disassembled.

[0168] In some embodiments, reference Figures 8 to 9 As shown, the first shaft 510 in the present application is movably connected to the cylinder 200 , so that the first shaft 510 can move relative to the cylinder 200 , wherein the axis of the first shaft 510 is consistent with the axis of the cylinder 200 .

[0169] refer to Figure 9 As shown, when the first shaft body 510 moves along the axial direction of the first shaft body 510 and away from the direction of the second shaft body 520, that is, along Figure 9 When the first shaft body 510 moves in the X direction, one end connected to the second shaft body 520 is separated from the second shaft body 520, so that the first shaft body 510 and the second shaft body 520 can be separated.

[0170] refer to Figure 8 As shown, when the first shaft body 510 moves along the axial direction of the first shaft body 510 and toward the direction of the second shaft body 520, that is, Figure 8 When moving in the direction opposite to the X direction, the end of the first shaft 510 connected to the second shaft 520 can move toward the second shaft 520, so that the end of the first shaft 510 is docked with the second shaft 520, and the first shaft 510 and the second shaft 520 can be connected.

[0171] Therefore, by applying a force along the circumferential direction of the first shaft body 510 to the first shaft body 510 , the first shaft body 510 and the second shaft body 520 can be connected to or separated from each other.

[0172] In some embodiments, one of the first shaft 510 and the second shaft 520 of the present application includes a coupling male head 511, and the other of the first shaft 510 and the second shaft 520 includes a coupling female head 523, and the coupling male head 511 and the coupling female head 523 are detachably connected, so that the first shaft 510 and the second shaft 520 are detachably connected.

[0173] Specifically, the male coupling 511 can be disposed on a side of the first shaft 510 facing the second shaft 520, and the female coupling 523 can be disposed on a side of the second shaft 520 facing the first shaft 510. When the first shaft 510 moves toward the second shaft 520, the male coupling 511 can be inserted into the female coupling 523, thereby connecting the first shaft 510 and the second shaft 520. When the first shaft 510 moves away from the second shaft 520, the male coupling 511 can be separated from the female coupling 523, thereby separating the first shaft 510 and the second shaft 520.

[0174] By providing the coupling male head 511 and the coupling female head 523 for cooperative connection, the connection between the first shaft body 510 and the second shaft body 520 is stable, so that the cylinder body 200 can be driven to rotate accurately and stably.

[0175] In some embodiments, reference Figure 11 As shown, the powder device of the present application can also be provided with a second drive component 600, which is arranged on the base 100, and the second drive component 600 is configured to drive the first shaft 510 to move toward or back to the second shaft 520, so that the first shaft 510 can be connected to or separated from the second shaft 520.

[0176] By providing the second driving assembly 600 to drive the first shaft 510 to move, it is more convenient to connect or separate the first shaft 510 and the second shaft 520.

[0177] In some embodiments, reference Figures 12 to 15 As shown, in order for the second drive assembly 600 of the present application to drive the first shaft 510 to move toward the second shaft 520, so that the first shaft 510 is connected to the second shaft 520, the second drive assembly 600 of the present application may be provided with a crank connecting rod 610, which has a rotating portion 611 and a moving portion 612, and the moving portion 612 is opposite to the end of the first shaft 510 facing away from the second shaft 520. The crank connecting rod 610 can convert rotational motion into linear motion, and accordingly can convert rotational force into linear force.

[0178] Specifically, the base 100 may be provided with a first limiting groove 131a, and the first end of the rotating portion 611 is movably embedded in the first limiting groove 131a. The movable portion 612 is provided with a second limiting groove 612a, and the second end of the rotating portion 611 is movably embedded in the second limiting groove 612a. The rotation center of the rotating portion 611 is located between the first end and the second end of the rotating portion 611. Figure 11 When the rotating portion 611 rotates along the third circumferential direction, the first end of the rotating portion 611 moves along the first limiting groove 131a, the second end of the rotating portion 611 moves along the second limiting groove 612a, and the second end of the rotating portion 611 pushes the moving portion 612 toward the first shaft 510. When the rotating portion 611 rotates along the fourth circumferential direction, the first end of the rotating portion 611 moves in the opposite direction along the first limiting groove 131a, the second end of the rotating portion 611 moves in the opposite direction along the second limiting groove 612a, and the second end of the rotating portion 611 pushes the moving portion 612 away from the first shaft 510.

[0179] In some embodiments, in the present application, the center of the side of the moving portion 612 opposite to the first shaft 510 coincides with the axis of the first shaft 510, so that when the moving portion 612 contacts the first shaft 510, the force center of the moving portion 612 is located at the center of the side of the moving portion 612 opposite to the first shaft 510. Figure 11When the moving portion 612 drives the first shaft 510 to move to dock with the second shaft 520, the center of the side of the moving portion 612 opposite the first shaft 510 is offset from the rotation center of the rotating portion 611, so that the moving portion 612 can be self-locking and can maintain contact with the first shaft 510, so that the first shaft 510 and the second shaft 520 are docked.

[0180] refer to Figures 12 to 13 As shown, when a force is applied to the rotating portion 611 of the crank connecting rod 610, causing the rotating portion 611 to rotate, the moving portion 612 moves toward the first shaft body 510, thereby driving the first shaft body 510 to move toward the second shaft body 520. In this way, the male coupling 511 can move toward the female coupling 523, so that the male coupling 511 and the female coupling 523 are connected to each other.

[0181] Specifically, the movable portion 612 of the crank-connecting member 610 is opposite to the side of the first shaft 510 facing away from the second shaft 520, and is not fixedly connected to the first shaft 510. When the first shaft 510 and the second shaft 520 are not yet connected, the movable portion 612 is spaced a certain distance from the side of the first shaft 510 facing away from the second shaft 520. After the rotating portion 611 rotates in one direction, driving the movable portion 612 to move, the movable portion 612 can abut against the side of the first shaft 510 facing away from the second shaft 520, pushing the first shaft 510 toward the second shaft 520.

[0182] In addition, reference Figures 14 to 15 As shown, when the rotating part 611 rotates in another direction to drive the moving part 612 to move, the moving part 612 can move in a direction away from the first shaft 510, so that the moving part 612 does not contact the first shaft 510, making it convenient to disassemble the cylinder body 200 and the base 100.

[0183] In some embodiments, to facilitate the movement of the first shaft 510 by the movable portion 612, a positioning slot may be provided on the side of the first shaft 510 facing away from the second shaft 520. The movable portion 612 can be moved until the portion of the movable portion 612 is embedded in the positioning slot, thereby maintaining stability between the movable portion 612 and the first shaft 510. The maximum travel of the movable portion 612 is greater than the maximum distance between the first shaft 510 and the second shaft 520. That is, the movable portion 612 can be moved away from the first shaft 510 until there is a distance between the movable portion 612 and the first shaft 510, allowing the movable portion 612 to be more conveniently inserted into the positioning slot on the side of the first shaft 510 facing away from the second shaft 520.

[0184] Specifically, the maximum stroke that the moving portion 612 can be driven to move is 10 cm, and the maximum stroke that the first shaft 510 can be driven to move toward the second shaft 520 is 8 cm.

[0185] In some embodiments, reference Figures 16 to 18 As shown, the second driving assembly 600 of the present application may further include an elastic member 620, which may be disposed on the cylinder 200, and the first elastic member 620 is connected to the first shaft 510. Figures 17 to 18 As shown, when the first shaft 510 moves toward the second shaft 520, the first shaft 510 can act on the elastic member 620, thereby causing the elastic member 620 to deform and generate an elastic force, at least part of which is directed in the direction of the first shaft 510 away from the second shaft 520. In this way, when the moving portion 612 no longer drives the first shaft 510 to move toward the second shaft 520, the elastic force of the elastic member 620 can drive the first shaft 510 to move in a direction away from the second shaft 520, so that the first shaft 510 can be separated from the second shaft 520.

[0186] Therefore, the second driving assembly 600 of the present application can drive the first shaft 510 to move toward or away from the second shaft 520, so that the first shaft 510 and the second shaft 520 can be connected or separated.

[0187] In some embodiments, reference Figures 17 to 18 As shown, the elastic member 620 of the present application can be sleeved on the first shaft 510, one end of the elastic member 620 is against the cylinder body 200, and the other end of the elastic member 620 is against the first shaft body 510, so that the elastic member 620 can be fixed between the cylinder body 200 and the first shaft body 510.

[0188] Specifically, an annular step structure can be set on the first shaft body 510, and the elastic member 620 is a spring. One end of the spring is against the inner wall of the cavity of the cylinder body 200 accommodating the first shaft body 510, and the other end of the elastic member 620 is against the step structure on the first shaft body 510.

[0189] In some embodiments, reference Figure 19 As shown, the base 100 of the present application can be provided with a mounting cavity and a mounting opening 120. The mounting cavity 110 is in communication with the mounting opening 120, and the cylinder body 200 is detachably disposed within the mounting cavity 110 via the mounting opening 120. The shape and size of the mounting cavity 110 can match the shape and size of the cylinder body 200, so that the cylinder body 200 remains stable when disposed within the mounting cavity 110, preventing the cylinder body 200 from shaking.

[0190] When the cylinder body 200 needs to be disassembled or installed, the cylinder body 200 can be taken in and out of the installation cavity 110 through the installation opening 120 .

[0191] In some embodiments, the mounting opening 120 of the base 100 of the present application is oriented to intersect with the axial direction of the connecting shaft 500, and can be specifically arranged perpendicularly. In this way, the mounting opening 120 is located on the side of the base 100, and the cylinder body 200 can be taken in and out of the mounting cavity 110 of the base 100 by pushing and pulling the cylinder body 200, making it easy to take the cylinder body 200 in and out of the mounting cavity 110 of the base 100.

[0192] In some embodiments, reference Figures 19 to 20 As shown, the powder assembly of the present application may further include a door body 130, which is movably connected to the base 100. The door body 130 can be driven to move to block the installation port 120, so that the cylinder body 200 can be enclosed in the installation cavity 110, thereby protecting the cylinder body 200 and preventing foreign matter and impurities from entering the installation cavity 110 through the installation port 120 and contaminating the powder in the cylinder body 200. The door body 130 can also be driven to move to be misaligned with the installation port 120, so that the door body 130 can open the installation port 120, so that the cylinder body 200 can be taken in and out of the installation port 120.

[0193] The door body 130 can be connected to the rotating portion 611 of the crank connecting rod 610. Specifically, the door body 130 has clamping portions 131 on both sides. The clamping portions 131 can be clamped to the base 100, and the two clamping portions 131 can respectively connect to the two ends of the rotating portion 611, making the connection between the door body 130 and the rotating portion 611 more stable and reliable. The first limiting grooves 131a are located on both sides of the door body 130, which are clamped to the base 100. The first limiting grooves 131a are provided in the door body 130, and the first end of the rotating portion 611 is movably embedded in the first limiting grooves 131a of the door body 130. When the rotating portion 611 is driven to rotate, causing the movable portion 612 to move away from the first shaft 510, the rotating portion 611 can correspondingly drive the door body 130 to move to a position offset from the installation opening 120, thereby opening the installation opening 120. In this way, the cylinder body 200 can be taken out from the installation opening 120 to clean the powder in the powder cavity 210 of the cylinder body 200 .

[0194] After the powder in the powder chamber 210 of the cylinder body 200 is cleaned, the cylinder body 200 can be installed in the installation cavity 110 through the installation port 120. By driving the rotating part 611 to rotate along the fourth circumferential direction, the moving part 612 moves toward the first shaft body 510. When the first shaft body 510 is connected to the second shaft body 520, the rotating part 611 can correspondingly drive the door body 130 to move opposite to the installation port 120, so that the door body 130 closes the installation port 120.

[0195] Based on the above powder device, refer to Figure 21 As shown, the present application also proposes a powder processing method, comprising the following steps:

[0196] S100, adding powder into the powder chamber;

[0197] S200: The cylinder is driven to move relative to the base by the first driving assembly, so that at least some of the multiple powder cavities are respectively opposite to the powder processing assembly.

[0198] S300, processing the powder in at least a portion of the powder chambers using the powder processing assembly;

[0199] S400: disassemble the cylinder body and the base to clean the processed powder in the powder chamber.

[0200] Specifically, the first drive assembly can drive the cylinder to rotate relative to the base until the multiple powder cavities are sequentially opposite the powder processing assembly, and after the powder in the multiple powder cavities has been processed, the cylinder and the base can be disassembled to uniformly clean the processed powder in the multiple powder cavities of the cylinder. In addition, the cylinder and the base can also be disassembled to uniformly clean the powder in the multiple powder cavities when the powder in the multiple powder cavities has not yet been completely processed and only the powder in some of the powder cavities has been processed. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0201] In some implementations, the above step S400 may specifically include:

[0202] S410: Drive the first shaft body and the second shaft body to separate by the second driving assembly, so as to disassemble the cylinder body and the base.

[0203] After cleaning the processed powder in the powder chamber, the powder processing method further includes:

[0204] S500, setting the cylinder body on the base, and driving the first shaft body to connect with the second shaft body through the second driving assembly.
