[0019] The technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0020] The components of the embodiments of the present application generally described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the application claimed, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present application.

[0021] Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0024] Refer to the following Figure 1-Figure 5 A powder flying prevention cover structure of a grinding module according to some embodiments of the present application is described.

[0025] A powder flying prevention cover structure for a bean grinding module, comprising a sealing plate 1 and a cover body 2; wherein the sealing plate 1 is arranged at a powder outlet of the bean grinding module, and the sealing plate 1 is provided with an inner hole 3 connected to a powder outlet channel of the bean grinding module;

[0026] The cover body 2 includes a cover neck 5 and a cover body 6 connected up and down. The cover neck 5 is annular, and the cover body 6 is funnel-shaped. A first opening 7 is provided at the top of the cover neck 5, and a second opening 8 is provided at the bottom of the cover body 6.

[0027] An inner flange 4 is provided at the lower edge of the inner hole 3, and the outer diameter of the cover neck 5 is equivalent to the inner diameter of the inner flange 4, so the cover neck 5 can be inserted into the inner hole 3. At the same time, a plurality of raised elastic positioning elements 9 are provided on the outer wall of the cover neck 5, and the outer diameter of the outer edge of the elastic positioning element 9 is larger than the inner diameter of the inner flange 4, but smaller than the inner diameter of the inner hole 3. Therefore, when the cover neck 5 is inserted into the inner hole 3, the elastic positioning element 9 is pressed to pass over the inner flange 4 and pop out to press against the upper surface of the inner flange 4, thereby realizing the sleeve connection and retention of the cover neck 5 and the inner hole 3, and the coffee powder made by the grinding module can enter the cover body 6 from the inner hole 3 through the first opening 7. Since the cover body 6 is not funnel-shaped, the inclined surface inside the cover body 6 alleviates the falling impact of the coffee powder, and the funnel-shaped internal space also gathers the scattered coffee powder. When the coffee powder flows out from the second opening 8, the scattering of the coffee powder has been effectively improved.

[0028] In the present embodiment, the second opening 8 is concentrically arranged relative to the first opening 7; while in other embodiments, the second opening 8 can also be eccentrically arranged relative to the first opening 7. Since the elastic positioning element 9 does not restrict the rotation of the cover body 2 relative to the sealing plate 1 after the cover body 2 is connected to the sealing plate 1, the outflow angle of the coffee powder can be appropriately adjusted by rotating the cover body 2 and cooperating with the eccentrically arranged second opening, thereby meeting the needs of users in different orientations or using different powder receiving containers and enriching the user experience.

[0029] When the cover body 2 needs to be removed for cleaning, the cover body 2 can be removed from the sealing plate 1 by simply pulling the cover body 6 to press the elastic positioning element 9 to separate from the inner flange 4 .

[0030] The elastic positioning element 9 is at least one of a metal spring and a spring positioning bead. In order to ensure the stability of the connection between the cover body 2 and the sealing plate 1, there should be at least three elastic positioning elements 9.

[0031] The sealing plate 1 and the cover body 2 are both made of stainless steel and have good cleanliness and durability.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
