[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] In order to further understand the content of the utility model, the utility model is described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Combination Figure 1 The utility model provides a water tank structure for a coffee machine, comprising a coffee machine body 1 and a water tank 2 provided on the coffee machine body 1, a water tank body 3 is provided in the inner cavity of the water tank 2, a sealing cover 4 is movably installed on the top of the water tank body 3, an alarm component 6 is provided in the inner cavity of the water tank body 3, and a water absorption component 5 is provided at the bottom of the water tank body 3.

[0024] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with embodiments.

[0025] Embodiment 1:

[0026] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The alarm assembly 6 includes a floating plate 61 located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the water tank body 3 and a connecting rod 62 fixedly installed on the top of the floating plate 61. The top of the connecting rod 62 movably passes through the top of the sealing cover 4. A conductive block 63 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the connecting rod 62. A fixing groove 64 is fixedly installed on one side of the coffee machine body 1 near the bottom. A U-shaped plate 65 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner cavity of the fixing groove 64. Electrode sheets 66 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the inner cavity of the U-shaped plate 65. An alarm 67 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner cavity of the fixing groove 64 near the rear side. When the conductive block 63 contacts the two electrode sheets 66, the alarm 67 can be activated to remind the staff of the low water level.

[0027] A rechargeable battery 641 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the fixing groove 64 near the rear side, and the rechargeable battery 641 is located on the front side of the alarm 67; a connecting plate 621 is fixedly sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting rod 62 near the bottom end; a telescopic rod 651 is fixedly installed on the top of the U-shaped plate 65 near both sides, and a baffle 653 is fixedly installed on the top of the telescopic rod 651, and a spring 652 is movably sleeved on the outer periphery of the telescopic rod 651, and the top and bottom ends of the spring 652 are respectively fixedly installed with the top of the U-shaped plate 65 and the bottom of the baffle 653, which can protect the electrode sheet 66 and extend its service life.

[0028] The rechargeable battery 641 is electrically connected to the alarm 67 , and the electrode sheet 66 is electrically connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the rechargeable battery 641 , respectively, so as to supply power to the alarm 67 .

[0029] Specifically, the water level of the water tank body 3 decreases accordingly, and the float plate 61 also moves downward accordingly, and is connected by the connecting rod 62 fixed on the float plate 61, so that the conductive block 63 fixed on the end of the connecting rod 62 moves downward. When the water level in the water tank body 3 drops to a certain position, the conductive block 63 contacts with the two electrode sheets 66, and then the alarm 67 can be operated to remind the staff that the water level has dropped to a certain position. The operator is required to manually add water to the water tank body 3 to improve the use effect of the device. By setting a connecting plate 621, and when the connecting plate 621 drops to a certain position, it contacts with the two baffles 653, squeezing the two springs 652 and the telescopic rod 651, thereby avoiding the protection of the two electrode sheets 66.

[0030] Embodiment 2:

[0031] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 A through hole 41 is opened at the middle position of the top of the sealing cover 4, and a sealing gasket 42 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the through hole 41, and the connecting rod 62 movably passes through the inner cavity of the sealing gasket 42 (the setting of the sealing gasket 42 will not hinder the movement of the connecting rod 62), which can make the water tank body 3 and the sealing cover 4 in a certain sealing state.

[0032] The water absorption component 5 includes a load-bearing plate 51 fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the water tank 2 near the bottom and a Velcro thorn-like surface 52 fixedly installed on the top of the load-bearing plate 51, the top of the Velcro thorn-like surface 52 is fitted with a Velcro hair-like surface 53, and the top of the Velcro hair-like surface 53 is fixedly installed with a water-absorbing pad 54, and the water-absorbing pad 54 is arranged to fit the bottom of the water tank body 3, which can absorb the moisture at the bottom of the water tank body 3 and is convenient for replacing the water-absorbing pad 54.

[0033] Specifically, when the water tank body 3 is taken out, if there is moisture on its outer surface and the operator does not wipe it dry, the moisture can be absorbed by providing a water-absorbing pad 54, and the water-absorbing pad 54 can be replaced in time by providing the Velcro thorn-like surface 52 and the Velcro hair-like surface 53, thereby avoiding the water tank body 3 from being in a humid environment and reducing the probability of bacteria growing in the inner cavity of the water tank 2.

[0034] In summary: when the coffee machine body 1 is in use, the water level of the water tank body 3 decreases, and the floating plate 61 also moves downward. The connecting rod 62 fixed on the floating plate 61 is connected to make the conductive block 63 fixed on the end of the connecting rod 62 move downward. When the water level in the water tank body 3 drops to a certain position, the conductive block 63 contacts the two electrode sheets 66, and then the alarm 67 can be activated to remind the staff that the water level drops to a certain position. The operator needs to manually add water to the water tank body 3, thereby improving the use effect of the device. By setting the connecting plate 621, and when the connecting plate 621 drops to a certain position, it contacts with the two baffles 653, squeezing the two springs 652 and the telescopic rod 651, thereby avoiding the protection of the two electrode sheets 66. When the water tank body 3 is taken out, if there is moisture on its outer surface and the operator does not wipe it dry, the moisture can be absorbed by setting the absorbent pad 54, and the absorbent pad 54 can be replaced in time by setting the Velcro thorn surface 52 and the Velcro hairy surface 53, so as to avoid the water tank body 3 being in a humid environment and reduce the probability of bacteria breeding in the inner cavity of the water tank 2.
