When ice dripping coffee, it is necessary to first use a continuous small stream of water to evenly wet the coffee powder, and then, according to the extraction requirements, use a dripping speed between 10 seconds 5 drops and 10 seconds 15 drops slowly. The water flow regulating valve of existing ice drip coffee pots often cannot meet the above requirements, resulting in a poor taste of coffee after ice drip extraction. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problems existing in the prior art and provide a needle valve structure for manually finely adjusting the water flow of a coffee pot. A smaller pitch is used to reduce the change in water flow caused by turning the hand wheel, so that the operator can freely control the dripping speed and meet the needs of using ice drip coffee.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0018] Example: As attached Figure 1-2As shown, the utility model is a needle valve structure for manually finely adjusting the water flow of a coffee pot, comprising a valve body 1 installed at the water outlet of the coffee pot, a valve cavity 2 is arranged in the valve body 1, the axis of the valve cavity 2 is horizontal, and one end of the valve cavity 2 is open, a valve stem 3 is connected to the valve cavity 2, the left end of the valve stem 3 extends outward from the valve body 1, and a hand wheel 4 is installed at the end of the valve stem 3 extending out of the valve body 1, an internal thread is arranged on the inner wall of the valve cavity 2, and an external thread adapted to the internal thread is arranged on the valve stem 3, the valve stem 3 can move along the axis of the valve cavity 2 while rotating, the pitch of the external thread is 0.5mm-1.5mm, and a water outlet hole is vertically arranged at the bottom of the right end of the valve cavity 2 5, the top end of the water outlet hole 5 is communicated with the valve cavity 2, and the bottom end is communicated with the outside world. A valve hole 6 is horizontally arranged at the right end of the valve cavity 2, and the axis center line of the valve hole 6 coincides with the axis center line of the valve stem 3. A conical head 31 is arranged at the end of the valve stem 3 away from the hand wheel 4, and the conical head 31 and the valve stem 3 adopt an integrated structure. The small diameter end of the conical head 31 is located at the end of the conical head 31 away from the valve stem 3. A conical hole adapted to the conical head 31 is arranged at the left end of the valve hole 6, and a connecting hole 7 extending vertically upward is arranged at the right end of the valve hole 6. An interface connected to the water outlet of the ice drip coffee pot is arranged at the top of the connecting hole 7. The connecting hole 7, the valve hole 6 and the water outlet hole 5 are all located in the valve body 1.

[0019] Preferably, the axis of the conical head 31 coincides with the axis of the conical hole, the maximum outer diameter of the conical head 31 is greater than the maximum inner diameter of the conical hole, and the minimum outer diameter of the conical head 31 is smaller than the minimum inner diameter of the conical hole.

[0020] Preferably, in order to facilitate the installation of the utility model, a cavity 8 is provided at the top of the connecting hole 7, a connecting hole is provided at the top of the cavity 8, a valve port two-way joint 9 is provided at the top of the connecting hole, and the axis line of the valve port two-way joint 9 can coincide with the axis line of the water outlet hole 5.

[0021] Preferably, the cone angle of the conical head 31 is 30°, and the pitch of the external thread is 1 mm. A smaller cone angle and a smaller pitch can more finely control the diameter change of the cone gap, thereby achieving fine adjustment of the water flow.

[0022] Preferably, a limit screw 10 for limiting the movement range of the valve stem 3 is provided on the outer wall of the valve body 1, and an annular groove 32 adapted to the limit screw 10 is provided on the outer wall of the valve stem 3. The limit screw 10 is inserted into the annular groove 32, and the movement range of the valve stem 3 is limited by the length of the annular groove 32, thereby limiting the maximum distance that the valve stem 3 can withdraw.

[0023] Working principle: water enters the cavity 8 of the valve body 1 from the two-way joint 9 of the valve port, then enters the connecting hole 7 from the cavity 8, then enters the valve hole 6 from the connecting hole 7, and then enters the matching clearance between the conical head 31 and the conical hole from the valve hole 6, and then flows out of the valve body 1 through the water outlet 5. When adjusting the water flow, turn the hand wheel 4, the hand wheel 4 drives the valve stem 3 to rotate, and the valve stem 3 moves along the axis while rotating, so that the matching clearance between the conical head 31 and the conical hole changes. When the conical head 31 and the conical hole are tightly matched, the water passage is completely closed and water cannot flow out of the valve body 1; when there is a gap between the conical head 31 and the conical hole, the water passage is opened and water can flow out of the valve body 1. By adjusting the gap between the conical head 31 and the conical hole, the water flow can be adjusted.

[0024] The utility model is used for adjusting the drip rate of an ice-drip coffee pot. When ice-drip coffee is extracted, it is necessary to first use a continuous small water flow to evenly wet the coffee powder, and then according to the extraction requirements, use a drip rate of 5 drops per 10 seconds to 15 drops per 10 seconds to slowly drip. The utility model can adjust the water flow rate more finely and can also generate a continuous small water flow. A smaller pitch is used to reduce the change in water flow caused by turning the hand wheel, so that the operator can freely control the drip rate, which can meet the use needs of ice-drip coffee extraction.
