[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3, a capsule extraction machine of this embodiment includes a housing 1, in which a capsule dropping mechanism 2, a first slide rail 3 and a second slide rail 10 for controlling the discharge of capsules 13 are arranged, the first slide rail 3 is arranged below the capsule dropping mechanism 2, and a glue transport mechanism 4 is arranged on the first slide rail 3, and a receiving bayonet piece 5 is also arranged in the housing 1, and the receiving bayonet piece 5 is located at one end of the first slide rail 3. Specifically, the number of receiving bayonet pieces 5 is 2, which are symmetrically arranged in the inner cavity of the upper housing 1, and a slot with one end open is provided on the receiving bayonet piece 5. A pressing plate 6 is arranged above the receiving bayonet piece 5, and a water injection assembly 7 is arranged on the pressing plate 6. A second slide rail 10 is arranged below the receiving bayonet piece 5, and a paper cup transport device 9 is arranged on the second slide rail 10. A paper cup dropping tube 8 is arranged above the second slide rail 10.

[0031] like Figure 2 The capsule dropping mechanism 2 shown includes: capsule placing tubes 21. In this embodiment, the number of capsule placing tubes 21 is 12 and they are distributed in a matrix. The capsule placing tubes 21 are used to place capsules. A first opening 22 and a second opening 23 are opened on the same side of the side wall of the capsule placing tube 21. The distance between the first opening 22 and the second opening 23 is greater than the height of the capsule 13. The capsule dropping mechanism 2 also includes a rotating component 24. The rotating component 24 is arranged on one side of the capsule placing tube 21. The rotating component 24 is used to control the discharge of the capsule 13 in the capsule placing tube 21.

[0032] The rotating assembly 24 includes a first rotating blade 241, a second rotating blade 242, and a blade driving motor 243. The first rotating blade 241 and the second rotating blade 242 are arranged at the output end of the blade driving motor 243. The first rotating blade 241 is arranged in parallel with the first opening 22, and the second rotating blade 242 is arranged in parallel with the second opening 23. The driving motor 243 is used to drive the first rotating blade 241 to circulate through the first opening 22 at intervals, and the second rotating blade 242 to circulate through the second opening 23 at intervals.

[0033] Specifically, the blade driving motor 243 drives the rotating shaft to drive the first rotating blade 241 to rotate, and the first rotating blade 241 rotates to the first opening 22 and stops. The first rotating blade 241 blocks the capsule 13 by blocking the sealing flange of the capsule 13 in the capsule placement tube 21, and the capsule 13 stops feeding. When the blade driving motor 243 drives the rotating shaft to drive the first rotating blade 241 to rotate outside the first opening 22, the first rotating blade 241 disappears from blocking the sealing flange of the capsule 13, and the capsule 13 falls from the first opening 22 and is discharged. At the same time, the second rotating blade 242 is rotated into the second opening 23 from the outside to the inside, and the second rotating blade 242 blocks the sealing flange of the capsule 13, which means that the falling capsule 13 will be blocked by the second rotating blade 242; then the blade driving motor 243 drives the rotating shaft to drive the second rotating blade 242 to rotate, and the second rotating blade 242 is rotated out of the second opening 23 from the inside to the outside, and the second rotating blade 242 will release the blocking of the sealing flange 51 of the capsule 13; the capsule 13 will fall from the second opening 23, and the unloading action is completed.

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, the glue transport mechanism 4 includes: a first slider 41, the first slider 41 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 3, the first slider 41 is fixedly connected to the first connecting plate 42, the first connecting plate 42 is connected to the flip plate 44 through a rotating shaft 43, one end of the rotating shaft 43 is connected to a driving motor 46, and a capsule placement cup 45 is provided on the flip plate 44, and a hole is opened at the bottom of the capsule placement cup 45.

[0035] Specifically, after the capsule 13 is unloaded from the capsule placement tube 21 , the capsule 13 falls into the capsule placement cup 45 of the glue transport mechanism 4 , and then the glue transport mechanism 4 slides along the length of the first slide rail 3 with the capsule 13 to the slot of the receiving bayonet piece 5 .

[0036] like Figure 6 The water injection assembly 7 shown includes: a water injection pipe 71, the water injection pipe 71 is connected to the water injection container 73, the water injection pipe 71 is communicated with the cavity of the water injection container 73, a water injection needle tube 72 is provided at the bottom of the water injection container 73, the water injection needle tube 72 is communicated with the cavity of the water injection container 73, and the upper surface of the water injection container 73 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 6.

[0037] Specific as Figure 2 , 5As shown in FIG. 6 , the lower part of the water injection container 73 is matched with the opening of the capsule placement cup 45. When the pressing plate 6 moves downward (the up and down movement of the pressing plate 6 can be achieved by the existing technology and will not be described here), the water injection assembly 7 fixedly connected to the pressing plate 6 also moves downward, and then the lower part of the water injection container 73 is connected to the opening of the capsule placement cup 45, and the water injection needle 72 of the water injection assembly 7 passes through the protective film of the capsule 13. At the same time, the water injection pipe 71 injects water into the inner cavity of the water injection container 73, and the water in the inner cavity of the water injection container 73 enters the capsule 13 through the water injection needle 72 for brewing.

[0038] like Figure 7 As shown, the paper cup transport device 9 includes a second slider 91 , which is slidably connected to the second slide rail 10 , a second connecting plate 92 is mounted on the slider, and a cup holder 93 is disposed on the second connecting plate 92 .

[0039] Specifically, Figure 2 , 7 As shown in , 8, the paper cup transport device 9 slides along the length direction of the second slide rail 10 to the bottom of the paper cup drop tube 8, in which paper cups are placed, and then the paper cups in the paper cup drop tube 8 are dropped into the cup holder 93 of the paper cup transport device 9. (The paper cup drop tube 8 can drop the cups by the existing technology, which will not be repeated here.) The paper cup transport device 9 slides along the length direction of the second slide rail 10 to the bottom of the receiving bayonet piece 5. At this time, the capsule 13 receiving the bayonet piece 5 is being brewed. There is a filter screen on the bottom surface of the capsule 13, and there is a layer of aluminum foil sealed on the filter screen. When water is injected into the capsule 13, the pressure in the capsule 13 rises rapidly in the first few seconds. When the pressure reaches the preset value, the aluminum foil expands and is pierced, and the extracted liquid flows into the paper cup from the water outlet at the bottom of the capsule 13.

[0040] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 5, a pickup port 11 is provided on the outer surface of the shell 1, and the pickup port 11 corresponds to one end of the second slide rail 10. When the paper cup completes collecting the extracted liquid, the paper cup transport device 9 drives the paper cup to slide along the length direction of the second slide rail 10 to the pickup port 11.

[0041] After the extraction is completed, the glue transport mechanism 4 drives the capsule 13 to slide along the length direction of the first slide rail 3 to the top of the discharge hopper 14, and then the driving motor 46 drives the rotating shaft 43 to rotate, thereby driving the flip plate 44 connected to the rotating shaft 43 to flip downward, and then the capsule 13 falls into the discharge hopper 14, and the capsule 13 after the extraction is completed is collected.

[0042] Preferably, Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the housing 1 is provided with a plurality of universal wheels 12. The universal wheels 12 are provided at the bottom of the housing 1 to facilitate the movement of the utility model.
