[0021] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0022] See also Figure 1-Figure 6 , an extraction liquid drainage mechanism; the extraction liquid drainage mechanism includes a water outlet drainage mechanism 4; a brewing container 2 includes a cavity 21 and a cover 22, the brewing container 2 can be placed with coffee powder, tea leaves or any other beverages that need to be soaked and extracted, the cavity 21 is a cone with a large top and a small bottom and includes a top opening 211 and a bottom opening 212, the cover 22 covers the top opening 211 of the cavity 21, the brewing container 2 also includes a valve 23 located on the bottom opening 212, the valve 23 is used to open and close the bottom opening 212; the cover 22 can be detachably connected to a hot water outlet 11, or in a simple replacement, the user can directly pour hot water from the cover 22; in this embodiment, the hot water outlet 11 can be the outlet of any hot water supply mechanism, such as a coffee machine, an instant hot water dispenser, etc. The hot water outlet 11 supplies hot water to the cavity 21, and the cover 22 includes a water inlet corresponding to the hot water outlet 11, which will not be repeated here.

[0023] The valve 23 includes a sealing component 231 and an elastic component 232. The sealing component 231 is at least partially made of soft silicone or rubber. The elastic component 232 is connected to the sealing component 231 so that the sealing component 231 blocks or opens the bottom opening 212. The sealing component 231 can be abutted by the water outlet control mechanism to be controlled to open. When the water outlet control mechanism does not abut the sealing component 231, the elastic component 232 drives the sealing component 231 to block the bottom opening 212. In this embodiment, the sealing component 231 is driven by the elastic component 232 to move downward to block the bottom opening 212, and the sealing component 231 is driven by the water outlet control mechanism to move upward to open the bottom opening 212.

[0024] The water outlet drainage mechanism 4 includes a support seat 41, one end of the support seat 41 is connected to the coffee machine body 1, and the other end of the support seat 41 corresponds to the bottom of the bottom opening 212 of the brewing container 2; the water outlet control mechanism includes an actuating block 31, and the actuating block 31 is configured to move between an open position state for opening the valve 23 and a closed position state for closing the valve 23. When in the open position state, the actuating block 31 abuts against the valve 23. When the actuating block 31 is in the open position state, the actuating block 31 extends a distance from the upper surface of the support seat 41 to drive the sealing assembly 231 to move upward. When the actuating block 31 is in the closed position state, the actuating block 31 is flush with the upper surface of the support seat 41, and the sealing assembly 231 is driven by the elastic component 232 to move downward.

[0025] The side of the water outlet drainage mechanism 4 facing the brewing container 2 includes a drainage annular groove 42 arranged around the actuating block 31, the opening of the drainage annular groove 42 corresponds to the bottom of the bottom opening 212, and the radial dimension of the bottom opening 212 is smaller than the maximum radial dimension of the drainage annular groove 42; the side of the water outlet drainage mechanism 4 away from the brewing container 2 also includes at least two liquid outlets 43 connected to the drainage annular groove 42. In this embodiment, the drainage annular groove 42 is located on the upper surface of the other end of the support seat 41, and the liquid outlet 43 is located on the lower surface of the other end of the support seat 41. The drainage annular groove 42 receives the extraction liquid (including but not limited to coffee liquid, tea, etc.) from the bottom opening 212 and drains it to the liquid outlet 43. At least two liquid outlets 43 are provided, so that the extraction liquid can be mixed more evenly and mellowly during the flow process; the actuating block 31 and the valve 23 are abutted against each other, and the two can also form a guide column structure. There is a wall attachment effect between the extraction liquid and the guide column structure, which plays a role of drainage, and the drainage annular groove 42 surrounds the actuating block 31, so as to receive the extraction liquid to a large extent.

[0026] In this embodiment, the liquid outlet 43 is located directly below the drainage annular groove 42 .

[0027] The bottom opening 212 includes a water outlet top wall 213 and a water outlet surrounding wall 214. The water outlet top wall 213 includes an outlet 215. The valve 23 moves on the outlet 215 to be opened and closed. The lower end of the water outlet surrounding wall 214 corresponds to the top of the drainage annular groove 42. Part of the extract flows out from the outlet 215 and flows into the drainage annular groove 42 along the water outlet surrounding wall 214. The radial dimension of the lower end of the water outlet surrounding wall 214 corresponds to the radial dimension of the bottom opening 212, that is, the radial dimension of the lower end of the water outlet surrounding wall 214 is smaller than the maximum radial dimension of the drainage annular groove 42, and the extract can flow directly into the drainage annular groove 42.

[0028] The lower end of the bottom opening 212 is separated from the drainage ring groove 42 by a distance, and the brewing container 2 is separated from the support seat 41 by a distance. The extraction liquid can flow out from the bottom opening 212 and flow into the drainage ring groove 42, which can not only prevent friction between the brewing container 2 and the support seat 41, but also prevent the extraction liquid from overflowing from the support seat 41 when the brewing container 2 and the support seat 41 are directly connected.

[0029] The drainage annular groove 42 includes a drainage inner wall 421 and a drainage outer wall 422. The distance between the drainage inner wall 421 and the drainage outer wall 422 decreases along the direction away from the brewing container 2. The drainage inner wall 421 defines a movable platform 44 around which the actuating block 31 moves. The drainage annular groove 42 also includes a drainage bottom wall 423. Two sides of the drainage bottom wall 423 include two linear notches 424. The two linear notches 424 are respectively connected to two liquid outlets 43. The area of ​​the linear notches 424 is larger than the area of ​​the liquid outlet 43. The extraction liquid flows out from the outlet 215 and flows to the drainage inner wall 421 along the guide column structure. The distance between the drainage inner wall 421 and the drainage outer wall 422 decreases along the direction away from the brewing container 2. Therefore, the extraction liquid will at least be accelerated to flow out from the liquid outlet 43.

[0030] In this embodiment, the water outlet control mechanism includes a driving mechanism and a transmission mechanism arranged in the support seat 41. The driving mechanism drives the actuating block 31 to move through the transmission mechanism, which will not be described in detail here.

[0031] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the utility model, but the design concept of the utility model is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field who uses this concept to make non-substantial changes to the utility model within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model shall be deemed to infringe the protection scope of the utility model.
