Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of beverage making equipment, and in particular to a beverage machine that is easy to clean. Background Art

[0002] In modern life, beverage dispensers are widely used in homes and commercial spaces, with coffee machines, soymilk machines, and bean-to-coffee machines becoming commonplace. As people's expectations for beverage quality and quality of life continue to rise, the functionality and performance of beverage dispensers continue to improve. However, cleaning the beverage dispensing mechanism remains a persistent concern for users.

[0003] Take coffee machines, for example. Coffee is rich in oils and residue, and during the brewing process, these substances easily adhere to the inner walls and pipes of the beverage dispensing mechanism. Traditional coffee machines often have a fixed connection to the dispenser, resulting in a complex structure and difficulty in disassembly. Cleaning requires specialized tools to reach into narrow crevices and pipes, making it extremely inconvenient and difficult to completely remove stubborn stains. Long-term accumulation not only affects the taste and quality of the coffee but can also breed bacteria, posing a health risk.

[0004] After using a soymilk maker, proteins and other components in the soymilk can easily dry out on the drink dispenser, making it difficult to clean. The dispenser is often tightly connected to the soymilk container, and its compact internal structure makes it difficult to completely disassemble and clean. Residual material can mix with the newly made soymilk, affecting both taste and hygiene.

[0005] Bean-to-coffee machines are complex machines that must handle both coffee grounds and oils, as well as soy milk protein residue. Existing bean-to-coffee machines often feature integrated dispensing mechanisms that lack easy disassembly. This makes cleaning time-consuming and labor-intensive, yet still difficult to achieve ideal cleaning results. Frequent cleaning can damage the equipment and shorten its lifespan.

[0006] In commercial spaces, beverage machines are frequently used, making cleaning a significant issue. Staff must quickly complete cleaning and maintenance to ensure a smooth flow of beverages. However, cleaning existing beverage machines is difficult and time-consuming, impacting work efficiency and increasing operating costs.

[0007] In terms of cleaning ease, the beverage dispensing device of traditional beverage machines is often fixed to the production device, making it difficult to disassemble. After long-term use, residual beverage residue, scale, and other dirt inside can breed bacteria, affecting the sanitary quality of the beverage. It may also clog pipes, affect the opening and closing of valves, and impair the normal operation of the equipment. Even if some beverage machines are designed with detachable devices, the disassembly process is relatively complicated, requiring the use of professional tools or following tedious steps, which increases the difficulty and time cost of cleaning for users, and may also damage the equipment during disassembly and assembly.

[0008] Furthermore, beverage dispensers with detachable dispensing mechanisms lack effective locking and protection mechanisms for device safety. During normal use, if the dispensing mechanism accidentally slides to the detached position, it can cause beverage leakage, resulting in waste, contamination of the surrounding environment, and even pose a safety hazard, especially in the presence of children or pets. Alternatively, if the user fails to maintain a secure grip after unlocking the locking mechanism during disassembly, the dispensing mechanism could fall.

[0009] In summary, existing beverage dispensers have numerous shortcomings when it comes to cleaning and disassembling their beverage dispensing mechanisms, including incomplete cleaning, complex disassembly processes, and safety risks. Therefore, developing a beverage dispenser that is easy to clean is of great practical significance, effectively resolving cleaning and disassembly challenges and improving user experience and hygiene standards.

[0029] The following describes some embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the features of the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0030] Example: like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a beverage machine 100 that is easy to clean. The beverage machine 100 can be a coffee machine, a soy milk machine, or a bean-to-coffee machine. The beverage machine 100 includes a machine body 101, a door body 102 movably connected to the machine body 101, and a beverage making device 103 and a beverage dispensing device 200 positioned on the machine body 101. The beverage dispensing device 200 is configured to operably slide between an assembled position and a disassembled position. In the assembled position, the beverage dispensing device 103 is connected to the beverage making device 103 for dispensing beverages. In the disassembled position, the beverage dispensing device 200 is separated from the beverage making device 103 to facilitate disassembly and cleaning.

[0031] In this embodiment, the housing 101 is provided with a locking member 105 that is operable to move between a locked position and a released position. The locking member 105 is rotatably pivoted to the housing 101 and comprises an operating end 1051 and a locking end 1052. The operating end 1051 drives the locking end 1052 to rotate below the beverage dispensing device 200 to establish the locked position. In this position, the locking end 1052 can resist the beverage dispensing device 200, restricting its sliding from the assembled position to the disassembled position. The operating end 1051 drives the locking end 1052 away from below the beverage dispensing device 200 to establish the released position, allowing the beverage dispensing device 200 to slide to the disassembled position.

[0032] At the same time, a baffle 106 is detachably combined with the body 101. The baffle 106 is arranged on the movement path for detaching the beverage dispensing device 200 from the body 101, so as to limit the detachment of the beverage dispensing device 200 from the body 101 when the baffle 106 is assembled on the body 101.

[0033] In this embodiment, the beverage dispensing device 200 is slidably detachable, allowing users to easily remove it for thorough cleaning without the need for tools. This effectively removes accumulated beverage residue, scale, and other dirt, prevents bacterial growth, and ensures the hygienic quality of beverages. When in the locked position, the locking member 105 blocks the beverage dispensing device 200, preventing it from accidentally sliding during normal use and potentially leaking. The baffle 106 provides a secondary layer of protection during disassembly, preventing it from accidentally falling and being damaged. When disassembling the beverage dispensing device 200, the user first moves the locking member 105 from the locked position to the released position. During this process, if the user is not paying attention to the beverage dispensing device 200 or does not hold it with both hands, the beverage dispensing device 200 could easily fall. The baffle 106 effectively prevents the beverage dispensing device 200 from falling during disassembly, avoiding damage to the device and potential safety hazards.

[0034] The beverage dispensing device 200 can be mounted on the machine body 100 via a sliding structure. Specifically, the sliding structure can be a slide rail, and one or more slide rails can be provided, either vertically (vertically) or horizontally (left-right). In one embodiment, the machine body 101 includes a pair of slide rails 1041 extending vertically. The beverage dispensing device 200 slidably engages with the slide rails 1041. The lower portions of the slide rails 1041 are open to facilitate installation and removal of the beverage dispensing device 200. This design allows the beverage dispensing device 200 to slide smoothly along the slide rails 1041. In the assembled position, the beverage dispensing device 200 is precisely connected to the beverage dispensing device 103, ensuring smooth beverage dispensing. In the disassembled position, the beverage dispensing device 200 is separated from the beverage dispensing device 103, making it easy for the user to remove it for cleaning. The open lower portion of the slide rails 1041 provides convenient installation and removal, eliminating the need for complex tools and procedures, significantly improving cleaning convenience.

[0035] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 A mounting plate 104 for setting a slide rail 1041 is fixed on the body 101. The mounting plate can also be formed integrally with the body 101 or fixed to the body 101 by screws. Figure 9 As a specific mechanism for mounting the plate 104 , it can be fixed to the body 101 by screws.

[0036] In order to position the beverage dispensing device 200 in the slide rail 1041, see Figure 9 In some embodiments, the slide rail 1041 includes a main rail 10411 and a positioning rail 10412 for preventing the beverage dispensing device 200 from derailing. The positioning rail 10412 is located on one side of the main rail 10411. The cross-sections of the main rail 10411 and the positioning rail 10412 are L-shaped. Figure 8 The beverage dispensing device 200 has a downwardly extending flange 203 that fits within the main track 10411. The bottom of the flange 203 has a bend 204 that fits within the positioning track 10412. This structural design allows the beverage dispensing device 200 to maintain a stable posture during the sliding process and will not easily derail, ensuring the reliability of the device operation.

[0037] The locking member is a component that is movable between a locked position and a released position. It can be rotatably mounted on the body or slidably mounted on the body. In some embodiments, the locking member 105 is rotatably pivoted to the body 101 and has an operating end 1051 and a locking end 1052. The operating end 1051 drives the locking end 1052 to rotate to the bottom of the beverage dispensing device 200 to form a locked position. Figure 5At this time, the locking end 1052 can resist the beverage dispensing device 200 and restrict it from sliding from the assembled position to the disassembled position; the operating end 1051 drives the locking end 1052 away from the bottom of the beverage dispensing device 200 to form a release position, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 , at this time, the beverage dispensing device 200 can be allowed to slide to the detached position. Specifically, the locking member 105 is L-shaped, see Figure 10 The operating end 1051 and the locking end 1052 are arranged at a certain angle, for example, perpendicular to each other in the figure. In other embodiments, the locking mechanism can be slidably assembled on the body (not shown in the figure), with one end being the operating end and the other end being the locking end. The operating end can be used to drive the locking end to slide below the beverage dispensing device to form a locked position, and the operating end can also be used to drive the locking end away from below the beverage dispensing device to form a released position.

[0038] To provide a more balanced locking force and ensure that the beverage dispensing device 200 remains stable under various operating conditions, in some embodiments, a pair of locking members 105 are provided, one on each side of the beverage dispensing device 200. This symmetrical design effectively avoids uneven force caused by unilateral locking, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the device.

[0039] In a further embodiment, when the door 102 is closed on the front side of the body 101, at least a portion of the door 102 is disposed on the rotation path of the locking member 105 to restrict the locking member 105 from rotating from the locked position to the released position. Figure 7 The door 102 defines a clearance window 1021 for mounting the beverage dispensing device 200. A side edge 1022 of the clearance window 1021 abuts against one side of the locking member 105 to retain it in the locked position. This side edge 1022 serves as a movable limiting surface. This door-to-door linkage design enables an automatic locking function. When the door 102 is closed, the locking member 105 is constrained in the locked position and cannot be freely rotated to the released position, thereby improving the safety of the device and preventing the beverage dispensing device 200 from accidentally sliding due to misoperation.

[0040] In order to improve the stability of the locking member 105, a mounting post is provided on one of the body 101 and the locking member 105, and a mounting hole is provided on the other, and the mounting hole and the mounting post are tightly connected. Figure 10 A mounting post 1042 is provided on the body 101, and a mounting hole 1054 is provided on the locking member 105. This connection structure not only ensures the rotation flexibility of the locking member 105, so that it can smoothly switch between the locking position and the release position, but also ensures the stability after long-term use, avoiding the problem of locking failure due to looseness.

[0041] In some embodiments, see Figure 11 The locking member 105 further has a limiting end 1053, which is configured to limit the baffle 106 when the locking member 105 is in the locked position. Figure 7 The baffle 106 has a positioning hole 1061 at its top. When the operating end 1051 drives the locking end 1052 to rotate to a locked position below the beverage dispensing device 200, the limiting end 1053 also rotates into the positioning hole 1061 of the baffle 106, thereby limiting the position of the baffle 106 and preventing the user from accidentally removing the baffle 106 during normal operation of the beverage dispenser. When the operating end 1051 drives the locking end 1052 away from the beverage dispensing device 200 to a released position, the limiting end 1053 also rotates away from the positioning hole 1061 of the baffle 106, allowing the baffle 106 to be removed. This design further enhances the safety of the device, ensuring that the baffle 106 will not be accidentally removed during normal use, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the beverage dispensing device 200.

[0042] During the specific setting process, the paired locking members 105 can both be set as locking members 105 with a limiting end 1053, or one side can be set as a locking member 105 without a limiting end 1053 and the other side can be set as a locking member 105 with a limiting end 1053. The setting can be made according to the specific situation.

[0043] In some embodiments, a detachable protective cover 110 is provided on the front side of the housing 101. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the protective cover 110 is provided at the connection between the beverage dispensing device 200 and the beverage making device 103. The protective cover 110 is both aesthetically pleasing and prevents foreign matter from entering the connection area. It is also easily disassembled and cleaned separately. Specifically, the protective cover 110 can be separately and detachably mounted on the body 101, for example, by bolts or snaps, or it can be integrally connected to the door body 102 and removably mounted along with the door body 102. This design allows the user to easily remove the protective cover 110 when cleaning the device, allowing for thorough cleaning of the connection area, thereby preventing the accumulation of foreign matter that could affect the normal operation of the device and the sanitary quality of the beverage.

[0044] In the present invention, the baffle 106 not only serves to restrict the beverage dispensing device 200 from being removed from the body 101, but also serves as a door to shield the internal receiving chamber of the body 101. In some embodiments, the bottom of the body 101 defines a receiving chamber with an open front, and the baffle 106 is positioned at the opening of the receiving chamber. The upper edge of the baffle 106 blocks the lower opening of the slide rail 1041. The receiving chamber can be used to accommodate electrical wiring or piping within the body 101, with the baffle 106 providing a shield and facilitating maintenance.

[0045] In other embodiments, see Figure 7 The storage chamber includes a waste residue storage chamber 108 on the left and a wire storage chamber 109 on the right. The waste residue storage chamber 108 is provided with a retractable waste residue drawer 107 for receiving waste residue, such as coffee grounds. The baffle 106 is provided at the opening of the wire storage chamber 109. That is, the drawer front panel 1071 is located under the left slide rail 1041, and the baffle 106 is located under the right slide rail 1041. Correspondingly, the locking member 105 on the right has a limiting end 1053, which limits the baffle 106 when the locking member 105 is in the locked position. This design rationally utilizes the bottom space of the device while achieving effective protection for the lower opening of the slide rail 1041, so that the baffle 106 has a dual function, serving as the door of the storage chamber and also protecting the beverage output device 200 from disassembly.

[0046] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The door body 102 is connected by a single-sided hinge to achieve side-opening disassembly. One side in the left and right directions is hinged to the body 101, and a lock bolt 111 is provided between the other side and the body 101. This design is convenient for users to operate and forms a good cooperation relationship with the locking mechanism, making it convenient for users to open and close the door body 102 for maintenance, cleaning or adding raw materials inside the equipment.

[0047] In this embodiment, the beverage making device 103 is one of the core functional components of the beverage machine, which is used to make various beverages, such as coffee, soy milk, etc. It has a vertical downward supply pipe 1031, see Figure 2 The supply pipe 1031 is used to deliver the prepared beverage to the beverage output device 200. The beverage output device 200 is responsible for outputting the prepared beverage into an external container for the user to drink. The beverage output device 200 is configured to be operatively slidable between an assembled position and a detached position. In the assembled position, the beverage output device 200 is in communication with the beverage production device 103. Specifically, see Figure 8 The beverage dispensing device 200 includes a housing 201 with an upward opening and a connecting pipe 202 defined within the housing 201. The top of the connecting pipe 202 is configured to fit over the outside of the supply pipe 1031, while the bottom outlet extends downwardly out of the bottom of the housing 201, thereby enabling normal beverage dispensing. In the detached position, the connecting pipe 202 is separated from the supply pipe 1031.

[0048] In actual use, the working process of the beverage machine 100 that is easy to clean of the present invention is as follows: First, the user closes the door 102. The side edge 1022 of the door 102 automatically restricts the rotation of the locking member 105, keeping it in the locked position. Simultaneously, the limiting end 1053 of the locking member 105 is inserted into the positioning hole 1061 of the baffle 106, securely locking the baffle 106 to the body 101. The beverage making device 103 begins to make a beverage and delivers the beverage through the supply pipe 1031 to the connecting pipe 202 of the beverage dispensing device 200. The beverage is finally dispensed from the bottom outlet into an external container for the user to drink.

[0049] To clean the beverage dispensing device 200, the user first opens the door 102, releasing the restriction on the locking member 105 by the door 102. The user then uses the operating end 1051 to drive the locking end 1052 away from below the beverage dispensing device 200, placing the locking member 105 in the released position. Simultaneously, the limiting end 1053 also clears the positioning hole 1061 of the baffle 106, allowing the user to remove the baffle 106. While operating the locking member 105, the user, protected by the baffle 106, does not need to hold the beverage dispensing device 200, freeing both hands. To remove the baffle 106, the user is required to hold the beverage dispensing device 200. After the baffle 106 is removed, the beverage dispensing device 200 is slid downward along the slide rail 1041 until it reaches the detachment position. This separates the beverage dispensing device 200 from the beverage making device 103, allowing the user to easily remove the beverage dispensing device 200 from the opening below the slide rail 1041 for cleaning. After cleaning is completed, the beverage dispensing device 200 is installed back to its original position according to the reverse steps, and the baffle 106 is reinstalled and the door body 102 is closed, and the device can continue to be used normally.

[0050] The easy-to-clean beverage dispenser 100 of the present invention has many significant advantages. In terms of cleaning convenience, the sliding design and detachable structure of the beverage dispensing device 200 allow users to easily disassemble and install it without the aid of tools, and can directly perform a comprehensive and thorough cleaning of the beverage dispensing device 200, effectively removing long-term accumulated beverage residues, scale and other dirt, avoiding bacterial growth, thereby ensuring the sanitary quality of the beverage and allowing users to drink with confidence. In terms of equipment safety, the dual protection design of the locking member 105 and the baffle 106 effectively prevents the beverage dispensing device 200 from accidentally sliding and falling during normal use, avoiding accidents such as beverage leakage and equipment damage, and ensuring the safety of the equipment and the surrounding environment. In addition, the design of the protective cover 110 is both beautiful and can prevent foreign matter from entering the connection part, and is easy to disassemble and clean separately, further improving the hygiene standards and service life of the equipment.
