[0016] Now, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the structure and use of the utility model are further described. Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the coffee brewer of the hydraulic chamber mechanism comprises a lower brewer assembly 1 and an upper brewer assembly 2. One side or both sides of the brewer head assembly 3 of the upper brewer assembly are respectively provided with output pipes with both ends extending out of the upper brewer assembly. The brewer head assembly is symmetrically provided with guide pillars, and the outer diameters of the guide pillars are respectively provided with guide pillar springs. When the brewing chamber of the lower brewer assembly rotates to one side to align with the brewer head assembly, one end of the brewer head assembly passes through the other end of the guide rod 6 in the stepper motor 5 and is sealed into the brewing chamber of the lower brewer assembly, and passes through the upper bracket fixedly arranged on the top of the upper brewer assembly through the stepper motor. The through-stepping motor is arranged at the bottom of the upper bracket, and a large bracket 9 is arranged at the top of the upper bracket. The large bracket is provided with a hydraulic outer chamber 7 and a hydraulic inner chamber 8 which fit each other. The pressure liquid outer chamber is inserted into the liquid chamber inner chamber, and a sealing ring is provided on the outer diameter of the hydraulic inner chamber at the fitting place. The other end of the guide rod extending from the upper bracket and inserted into the large bracket is against the bottom of the hydraulic outer chamber. The outer diameter of the top cavity opening of the hydraulic inner chamber is limited in the large bracket. At the same time, the top cavity opening of the hydraulic inner chamber is connected with the hydraulic pipe, and the bottom of the hydraulic inner chamber is provided with a through hole communicating with the hydraulic inner chamber; or a hole is opened on one side of the bottom of the hydraulic outer chamber below the hydraulic inner chamber and connected with the pressure liquid pipe. The bottom of the hydraulic inner chamber is separated and sealed and fits with the hydraulic inner chamber. The hydraulic outer chamber is arranged in the large bracket and moves up and down through the hydraulic change of the hydraulic inner chamber.

[0017] The end surface of the brewer head assembly is provided with a filter core net, which is fixed to the brewer head assembly by a screw in the middle of the bottom of the brewer head assembly. T-shaped grooves 201 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the bottom of the upper bracket, and the grooves correspond to the symmetrically raised T-shaped guide rails on both sides of the top of the lower brewer assembly. The grooves of the upper bracket are correspondingly fitted and fixed with the guide rails of the lower brewer assembly. A check plate 101 is provided on the slag discharge side of the lower brewer assembly, which is integrally formed with the shell of the lower brewer assembly. The shell of the lower brewer assembly is composed of a left-right symmetrical arrangement.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, a large gear 202 extending out of the upper brewer assembly is provided at the through hole of the upper bracket, passing through the stepper motor or fixed to the center hole of the large gear in the upper bracket, and the outer diameter side of the large gear is engaged with the small gear of the gear motor outside the upper bracket to drive the large gear passing through the stepper motor to move up and down.

[0019] When in use, the hydraulic inner cavity and the large bracket are fixed, and the stepper motor and the guide rod are first inserted and moved downward to pull the hydraulic outer cavity down to the program control position; then water is injected, and at this time, the hydraulic inner cavity and the brewer head assembly are injected with water at the same time to ensure that the upper and lower forces are consistent during the brewing process, thereby ensuring the stability of brewing. After brewing is completed, the external pressure relief valve is opened, and the stepper motor and the guide rod are reversed to discharge the water in the hydraulic inner cavity to complete a cycle. The above-mentioned hydraulic inner cavity is the hydraulic inner cavity at the connection between the hydraulic outer cavity and the hydraulic inner cavity in Example 1, or the hydraulic inner cavity in Example 2 formed by the hydraulic outer cavity and the hydraulic inner cavity being connected.

[0020] In summary, a hydraulic mechanism or hydraulic force is added to the top of the hydraulic chamber mechanism to control or offset the upward force penetrating the stepper motor and the guide rod, thereby preventing the stepper motor and the guide rod from moving upward during the brewing process.
