[0077] In one embodiment, such as Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the first engaging structure 308 includes a plate 3081 and a buckle 3082 disposed at the end of the plate 3081. The plate 3081 is rotatably connected to the extraction device via a rotating shaft 3083, and an elastic element 3084 is provided between the plate 3081 and the extraction device. The elastic force of the elastic element 3084 can keep the buckle 3082 engaged with the second engaging structure 102.
[0078] In this embodiment, the first engaging structure 308 includes a plate 3081 and a latch 3082 located at the end of the plate 3081. The plate 3081 is rotatably connected to the extraction device via a rotating shaft 3083, and an elastic element 3084 is provided between the plate 3081 and the extraction device. The elastic force of the elastic element 3084 can keep the latch 3082 engaged with the second engaging structure 102, thus ensuring a stable connection between the first engaging structure 308 and the second engaging structure 102, thereby stably mounting the extraction device on the frame 1. When the extraction device needs to be disassembled for cleaning, by rotating the plate 3081, the plate 3081 rotates around the rotating shaft 3020, which can disengage the latch 3082 from the second engaging structure 102, and then the extraction device can be easily removed from the frame 1. By rotatably connecting the plate 3081 and the extraction device via the rotating shaft 3083, and by providing an elastic element 3084 between the plate 3081 and the extraction device, it is easier to disassemble the extraction device.
[0079] In one specific embodiment, the rotating shaft 3083 is disposed on the plate 3081, the extraction device is provided with a limiting groove, and the rotating shaft 3083 is rotatably disposed in the limiting groove.
[0080] In one specific embodiment, the elastic element 3084 can be a compression spring, a torsion spring, or other elastic element. In this embodiment, the elastic element 3084 is preferably a compression spring.
[0081] In an alternative embodiment, the second engaging structure 102 can be an elastic buckle that engages with the first engaging structure 308 of the extraction device. When the extraction device needs to be disassembled for cleaning, the second engaging structure 102 is moved to disengage from the first engaging structure 308, and then the extraction device can be easily removed from the frame 1.
[0082] In one embodiment, such as Figure 11 As shown, the first engaging structure 308 also includes a pressing part 3085 located at the end of the plate 3081 away from the buckle 3082.
[0083] In this embodiment, by providing a pressing part 3085, when the extraction device needs to be disassembled for cleaning, pressing the pressing part 3085 with a finger causes the plate 3081 to rotate around the rotating shaft 3020, causing the latch 3082 to disengage from the second engaging structure 102, after which the extraction device can be easily removed from the frame 1. The pressing part 3085 facilitates the user in releasing the connection between the first engaging structure 308 and the second engaging structure 102.
[0084] In one specific embodiment, the pressing part 3085 is provided with friction protrusions.
[0085] In one specific embodiment, the extraction device is provided with a limiting part. When the pressing part 3085 abuts against the limiting part, the buckle 3082 just disengages from the second engaging structure 102.
[0086] In one embodiment, the buckle 3082 is provided with a guide surface 30821 and a fastening surface 30822. When installing the extraction device, as follows: Figure 6 and Figure 7 The second engaging structure 102 contacts the guide surface 30821 and drives the buckle 3082 to rotate away from the second engaging structure 102. When the guide surface 30821 leaves the second engaging structure 102, the elastic force of the elastic element 3084 causes the engaging surface 30822 to engage with the second engaging structure 102.
[0087] In this embodiment, by providing a guide surface 30821 to the buckle 3082, when the extraction device is installed, the first engaging structure 308 moves toward the second engaging structure 102. The second engaging structure 102 first contacts the guide surface 30821. As the guide surface 30821 moves along the second engaging structure 102, the second engaging structure 102 drives the buckle 3082 to rotate away from the second engaging structure 102. During the rotation of the buckle 3082, the elastic force of the elastic element 3084 increases. When the guide surface 30821 leaves the second engaging structure 102, the elastic force of the elastic element 3084 causes the engaging surface 30822 to engage with the second engaging structure 102, thereby achieving stable installation of the extraction device on the frame 1.
[0088] In one specific embodiment, the guide surface 30821 is an inclined surface, and the cross-sectional area of the buckle 3082 gradually increases along the direction close to the pressing part 3085.
[0089] In one embodiment, the frame 1 is provided with a slot 103, which is adapted for the buckle 3082 to pass through, and a second engaging structure 102 is provided on one side of the slot 103.
[0090] In this embodiment, when installing the extraction device, the buckle 3082 is aligned with the slot 103, and then the extraction device is pressed to allow the buckle 3082 to pass through the slot 103. During the process of the buckle 3082 passing through the slot 103, the second engaging structure 102 first contacts the guide surface 30821. As the guide surface 30821 moves along the second engaging structure 102, the second engaging structure 102 drives the buckle 3082 to rotate away from the second engaging structure 102. During the rotation of the buckle 3082, the elastic force of the elastic element 3084 increases. When the guide surface 30821 leaves the second engaging structure 102, the buckle 3082 passes through the slot 103, and the elastic force of the elastic element 3084 causes the engaging surface 30822 to engage with the second engaging structure 102, thereby achieving stable installation of the extraction device on the frame 1.
[0091] In one embodiment, the first engaging structure 308 is provided on both sides and one end of the extraction device along its length.
[0092] In this embodiment, the first engaging structure 308 is provided on both sides and one end of the extraction device along its length, which can ensure that the extraction device is stably installed on the frame 1.
[0093] Specifically in one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first engaging structure 308 is provided on the left and right sides and the bottom side of the extraction device, and the first engaging structure 308 on the left and right sides is close to the top side of the extraction device.
[0094] In one embodiment, the powder cylinder 302 is connected to a top rod 310, the first end of the top rod 310 is located inside the powder cylinder, the second end of the top rod 310 is provided with a roller 311, the upper cover plate 306 and / or the lower cover plate 305 are provided with a first track 312, and the roller 311 rolls along the first track 312.
[0095] In this embodiment, a first track 312 is provided on the upper cover plate 306 and / or the lower cover plate 305, and a roller 311 is provided on the second end of the top rod 310. The roller 311 rolls along the first track 312, thereby enabling the top rod 310 to rotate smoothly when the powder tank rotates. By integrating the first track 312 onto the lower cover plate 305 and / or the upper cover plate 306, a small volume of the extraction device is ensured.
[0096] In one specific embodiment, the first track 312 is disposed on the lower cover plate 305.
[0097] In one specific embodiment, the first track 312 includes a first track segment, a second track segment, and a third track segment. The first track segment is an arc segment centered on the rotation center of the coffee hopper, with a radius of R1. After the coffee hopper finishes receiving coffee from the coffee hopper 309, the first drive assembly 2 drives the coffee hopper to rotate, and the roller 311 rolls along the first track segment. During this process, there is no relative movement between the push rod 310 and the coffee hopper. When the roller 311 moves to the position where the first track segment connects with the second track segment, the axis of the coffee hopper is collinear with the direction of movement of the extraction head 3013. Then, driven by the second drive assembly 7, the extraction head 3013 presses into the coffee hopper to complete coffee extraction. Afterward, the first drive assembly 2 drives the coffee hopper to rotate, and the roller 311 rolls along the second track segment. The distance between the second track segment and the rotation center of the coffee hopper gradually decreases, so the push rod 310 moves relative to the coffee hopper, pushing the extracted coffee powder out of the coffee hopper to cooperate with the scraper structure 313 to complete waste cleaning. When the filter moves to the opening position of the powder bucket, the roller 311 is located at the junction of the second and third track sections. Then the powder bucket continues to rotate, and the roller 311 rolls along the third track section. The third track section is an arc segment with the rotation center of the powder bucket as the center. The radius of the third track section is R2, which can avoid interference between the filter and the powder scraping structure 313.
[0098] Although embodiments of the invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by this application.
