Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of coffee machines, in particular to a coffee residue lifting device of a coffee machine and the coffee machine. Background Art

[0002] A coffee machine is an automatic machine used to make coffee. It can make coffee by grinding coffee beans, applying pressurized steam or water pumps, etc. Coffee machines usually have multiple functions, such as adjusting coffee concentration, making different types of coffee, etc.; they are widely used in homes, offices, coffee shops and other places;

[0003] Current coffee machines pour coffee powder into a brewing barrel for squeezing and brewing, and then pump the brewed coffee solution into a user's cup through a brewing head. However, compressed coffee grounds will remain in the brewing barrel after brewing. If these waste coffee grounds are handled manually, it will be too time-consuming and not conducive to the efficiency of the coffee machine in brewing coffee. Therefore, the waste coffee grounds are pushed out of the brewing barrel by pushing the material out.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to propose a new technical solution to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a coffee residue top device for a coffee machine and a coffee machine, so as to solve the problems raised in the background technology.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the utility model provides a coffee residue top-up device for a coffee machine and a coffee machine, comprising:

[0007] Base;

[0008] A telescopic component, one end of which is fixed on the base;

[0009] A push rod, which is sleeved on the other end of the telescopic assembly;

[0010] Among them, when the push rod is pressed down by external force and the pressure is greater than the extension force of the telescopic component, the push rod compresses the telescopic component. When the external pressure is less than the extension force of the telescopic component, the telescopic component extends to push the push rod out.

[0011] In a further technical solution, the telescopic assembly includes a fixing seat and an elastic member; the fixing seat is arranged on the base, a receiving cavity is arranged in the fixing seat, and the elastic member is arranged in the receiving cavity.

[0012] In a further technical solution, the push rod is configured as a hollow structure, the push rod is sleeved on the elastic member, and moves within the accommodating cavity.

[0013] In a further technical solution, at least two through openings are provided on the four walls of the accommodating cavity, and at least two clamping blocks are provided on one end of the push rod in contact with the accommodating cavity; the two clamping blocks are clamped in the two through openings.

[0014] In a further technical solution, the clamping block moves upward or downward in the through opening under the extension or compression of the elastic member.

[0015] A coffee machine, comprising: a coffee grounds pushing device

[0016] In a further technical solution, the coffee machine further comprises:

[0017] A brewing barrel, wherein a brewing cavity is provided in the brewing barrel;

[0018] A push rod is movably arranged in the brewing chamber.

[0019] In a further technical solution, the push rod is arranged corresponding to the ejector rod, and the push rod is used to eject the coffee grounds in the brewing chamber under the push of the ejector rod.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the utility model brings the following technical effects:

[0021] (1) In the utility model, when the push rod is pressed down by an external force and the pressure is greater than the extension force of the telescopic assembly, the push rod compresses the telescopic assembly; when the pressure is less than the extension force of the telescopic assembly, the telescopic assembly extends, causing the push rod to be pushed out.

[0022] (2) When the brewing barrel of the utility model moves downward and the push rod collides with the ejector rod, the brewing barrel continues to move downward, which will generate a downward pressure on the ejector rod, and the ejector rod will move downward. At the same time, the telescopic member will be compressed. When the telescopic member is compressed to a certain extent, a rebound force will be generated upward, and the ejector rod will be pushed upward to push the push rod to move upward in the brewing chamber. When the push rod moves to the top of the brewing chamber, the coffee grounds in the brewing chamber are pushed out and then cleaned. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
