[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 4According to the first embodiment of the utility model, the funnel device comprises a funnel body 100, a brewing assembly 200 and a buffer assembly 300. The funnel body 100 is provided with a receiving chamber 110. The bottom of the receiving chamber 110 is provided with a first liquid outlet 120. The brewing assembly 200 is accommodated in the receiving chamber 110. The brewing assembly 200 is provided with a brewing chamber 210. The brewing chamber 210 is used to brew coffee liquid. The brewing chamber 210 has a second liquid outlet 220. The second liquid outlet 220 is connected to the receiving chamber 110. The buffer assembly 300 comprises a buffer seat 310 and a buffer member 320. The buffer seat 310 Located at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 110, the buffer seat 310 is provided with a buffer channel 311 connected to the accommodating cavity 110, and the buffer member 320 is provided with a plurality of buffer holes (not shown in the figure). The buffer member 320 is accommodated in the buffer channel 311, and the buffer member 320 is located below the second liquid outlet 220. In this way, the buffer member 320 can buffer and decompose the high-pressure coffee liquid flowing out of the second liquid outlet 220 to slow down the flow speed of the coffee liquid, so that the flow speed of the coffee liquid is relatively calm, which can avoid the occurrence of splashing of coffee liquid and contaminating the surface of the machine, the cup tray, etc., and can be convenient for users to use.

[0036] Specifically, when the coffee machine is in use, the coffee liquid in the brewing chamber 210 is in a high-pressure state, and the coffee liquid in the brewing chamber 210 is sprayed downward from the second liquid outlet 220 into the buffer channel 311. By arranging a buffer member 320 in the buffer channel 311, a plurality of buffer holes can buffer and decompose the coffee liquid to slow down the flow rate of the coffee liquid, thereby ensuring that the coffee liquid flowing out of the buffer channel 311 is relatively calm, and can avoid the occurrence of splashing of the coffee liquid flowing out of the first liquid outlet 120 and contaminating the machine surface, the cup tray, etc., which can be convenient for users to use.

[0037] It should be noted that the brewing assembly 200 is also provided with a filter tank 230 for filtering coffee liquid. The filter tank 230 is connected to the brewing chamber 210, and coffee powder is contained in the filter tank 230, which will not be described in detail here.

[0038] It should be pointed out that the buffer 320 has a mesh structure. The buffer 320 can be configured with one or more. When the buffer 320 is configured with multiple buffers, the multiple buffers 320 are stacked, which can improve the buffering decomposition effect of the buffer 320, which is not described in detail here.

[0039] Reference Figures 5 to 7 In some embodiments of the utility model, the buffer channel 311 includes a first channel 3111 and a second channel 3112 connected to the first channel 3111. The length direction of the first channel 3111 and the length direction of the second channel 3112 are staggered. The buffer member 320 is arranged in the first channel 3111, which can further slow down the flow speed of the coffee liquid, thereby preventing the coffee liquid from splashing and contaminating the machine surface, the cup tray, etc.

[0040] Specifically, the length direction of the first channel 3111 is perpendicular to the length direction of the second channel 3112, the first channel 3111 is arranged in the up-down direction, and the second channel 3112 is arranged in the horizontal direction. When the coffee liquid flowing out from the second liquid outlet is sprayed into the first channel 3111, the coffee liquid is first buffered by the buffer 320, and then the coffee liquid impacts the bottom of the accommodating chamber 110, and then flows out from the second channel 3112 into the accommodating chamber 110, which can change the flow direction of the coffee liquid, so that the coffee liquid is buffered again, and the flow speed of the coffee liquid can be further slowed down, thereby preventing the coffee liquid from splashing and contaminating the machine surface, cup tray, etc.

[0041] It should be noted that the angle between the length direction of the first channel 3111 and the length direction of the second channel 3112 can also be an acute angle or an obtuse angle, again without limitation.

[0042] Reference Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, the first liquid outlet 120 is not located in the length direction of the second channel 3112, so that the flow direction of the coffee liquid is more complicated, which can slow down the flow speed of the coffee liquid.

[0043] Specifically, since the first liquid outlet 120 is not located in the length direction of the second channel 3112, the coffee liquid flowing out of the second channel 3112 can flow to the side wall of the accommodating chamber 110, and then flow around the circumference of the accommodating chamber 110 to the first liquid outlet 120, making the flow direction of the coffee liquid more complicated and being able to slow down the flow speed of the coffee liquid.

[0044] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 7 In some embodiments of the utility model, the buffer seat 310 is provided with a fixing portion 312, and the fixing portion 312 is in close contact with the side wall of the accommodating chamber 110. The fixing portion 312 is provided with a through hole 3121, and the through hole 3121 is connected to the first liquid outlet 120. It is possible to facilitate the installation and fixing of the buffer seat 310 while preventing the coffee liquid from leaking from the matching gap between the buffer seat 310 and the funnel body 100, so as to facilitate the user to clean the funnel device.

[0045] Specifically, the coffee liquid flowing out of the second channel 3112 can flow out of the first liquid outlet 120 through the through hole 3121. The fixing portion 312 and the accommodating cavity 110 have an interference fit, which can facilitate the installation and fixing of the buffer seat 310 while preventing the coffee liquid from leaking from the fitting gap between the buffer seat 310 and the funnel body 100, so as to facilitate the user to clean the funnel device.

[0046] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 7In some embodiments of the utility model, the buffer seat 310 is provided with a blocking portion 313, which is located in the length direction of the second channel 3112. The blocking portion 313 is arranged along the circumference of the through hole 3121, so that the flow direction of the coffee liquid is more complicated, which can slow down the flow speed of the coffee liquid.

[0047] Specifically, the blocking portion 313 is extended upward, and the minimum distance between the blocking portion 313 and the buffer seat 310 is smaller than the minimum distance between the first liquid outlet 120 and the buffer seat 310, so that the coffee liquid flowing out of the second channel 3112 can flow to the blocking portion 313, and then flow around the circumference of the accommodating chamber 110 to the first liquid outlet 120, which can change the flow direction of the coffee liquid, making the flow direction of the coffee liquid more complicated and slowing down the flow speed of the coffee liquid.

[0048] Reference Figure 7 In some embodiments of the utility model, the buffer seat 310 is provided with a first connecting portion 314 and a second connecting portion 315, both of which are connected to the fixing portion 312, and the first connecting portion 314 and the second connecting portion 315 are arranged relatively to each other along a first direction to enclose and form a buffer channel 311, and two blocking portions 313 are configured, and the two blocking portions 313 are arranged relatively to each other along a second direction, and the first direction and the second direction are staggered, so that the flow direction of the coffee liquid is more complicated, and the flow speed of the coffee liquid can be slowed down.

[0049] Specifically, there are two second channels 3112, which are arranged opposite to each other, and the blocking portion 313 is located in the length direction of the corresponding second channel 3112, so that the coffee liquid flowing out of the second channel 3112 can flow to the blocking portion 313, and then flow around the circumference of the accommodating chamber 110 to the first liquid outlet 120, which can change the flow direction of the coffee liquid, making the flow direction of the coffee liquid more complicated and slowing down the flow speed of the coffee liquid.

[0050] It is understandable that the fixing portion 312, the blocking portion 313, the first connecting portion 314 and the second connecting portion 315 are an integrated structure, which can reduce the number of molds to reduce the production cost of the molds, thereby reducing the production cost of the funnel device, which will not be described in detail here.

[0051] Reference Figures 6 to 8 In some embodiments of the utility model, the buffer assembly 300 also includes a cover body 330, which covers the first channel 3111 and is detachably connected to the buffer seat 310. The cover body 330 is provided with an avoidance hole 331, and the second liquid outlet 220 is connected to the first channel 3111 through the avoidance hole 331. The buffer component 320 can abut against the periphery of the avoidance hole 331, which can facilitate the assembly of the buffer component 320.

[0052] Specifically, when assembling the buffer 320, the user places the buffer 320 into the first channel 3111, and then connects the cover body 330 to the buffer seat 310. Since the buffer 320 can abut against the periphery of the avoidance hole 331, the cover body 330 limits the movement of the buffer 320 in the direction of exiting the first channel 3111, which can facilitate the assembly of the buffer 320.

[0053] It should be noted that the diameter of the buffer member 320 is smaller than the diameter of the avoidance hole 331 , which is not limited here.

[0054] Reference Figures 6 to 8 In some embodiments of the utility model, a clamping structure is provided between the cover body 330 and the buffer seat 310, and the cover body 330 does not need to be assembled by bolting, which can facilitate the installation and disassembly of the cover body 330 to improve the assembly efficiency of the buffer member 320.

[0055] Reference Figures 6 to 8 In some embodiments of the utility model, the clamping structure includes a clamping slot 316 provided on the buffer seat 310 and a clamping portion 332 provided on the cover body 330. The clamping portion 332 is accommodated in the clamping slot 316 and can abut against the side wall of the clamping slot 316. There is no need to assemble the cover body 330 by bolting, which can facilitate the installation and disassembly of the cover body 330 to improve the assembly efficiency of the buffer member 320.

[0056] Specifically, there are two card slots 316, which are arranged opposite to each other, and there are two corresponding card connection parts 332. The card connection parts 332 are accommodated in the corresponding card slots 316 and can abut against the side walls of the card slots 316. There is no need to assemble the cover body 330 by bolting, which can facilitate the installation and disassembly of the cover body 330 to improve the assembly efficiency of the buffer member 320.

[0057] It should be noted that the positions of the clamping portion 332 and the clamping slot 316 can also be interchanged, that is, the clamping portion 332 is disposed on the buffer seat 310, and the clamping slot 316 is disposed on the cover body 330, which is not limited here.

[0058] It is understandable that the clamping portion 332 may also be replaced by a clamping hook, which is not limited here.

[0059] It should be pointed out that the cover body 330 can also be detachably connected to the buffer seat 310 by means of a threaded connection, which can facilitate the installation and removal of the cover body 330, and is not limited here.

[0060] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2The coffee machine according to the second embodiment of the utility model includes a machine body and the funnel device of the first embodiment of the utility model. The funnel body 100 is detachably connected to the machine body. The buffer member 320 can buffer the high-pressure coffee liquid flowing out of the second liquid outlet 220 to slow down the flow rate of the coffee liquid, so that the flow rate of the coffee liquid is relatively calm, which can avoid the occurrence of coffee liquid splashing and contaminating the machine surface, cup tray, etc., and can be convenient for users to use.

[0061] Specifically, when the coffee machine is in use, the coffee liquid in the brewing chamber 210 is in a high-pressure state, and the coffee liquid in the brewing chamber 210 is sprayed downward from the second liquid outlet 220 into the buffer channel 311. By arranging a buffer member 320 in the buffer channel 311, a plurality of buffer holes can buffer and decompose the coffee liquid to slow down the flow rate of the coffee liquid, thereby ensuring that the coffee liquid flowing out of the buffer channel 311 is relatively calm, and can avoid the occurrence of splashing of the coffee liquid flowing out of the first liquid outlet 120 and contaminating the machine surface, the cup tray, etc., which can be convenient for users to use.

[0062] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0063] The embodiment is described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the present purpose.
