[0023] To facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more comprehensively below with reference to the relevant drawings. Several embodiments of the present invention are given in the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "page", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0025] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0026] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed", "provided with", "provided on" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances. Example

[0027] See also Figure 1-4 , a coffee extract liquid cache container comprises a workbench 1, the upper end of the workbench 1 is fixedly connected to a limit frame 2, a discharge pipe 3 is embedded and installed at the bottom end of the workbench 1, a one-way valve 4 is movably installed at the side end of the discharge pipe 3, a cache cylinder 5 is provided between the inner walls of the limit frame 2, a feed pipe 6 is embedded and installed at the upper end of the cache cylinder 5, a storage cylinder 7 is movably installed between the inner walls of the cache cylinder 5, a self-adjusting component 8 is provided between the storage cylinder 7 and the inner bottom of the cache cylinder 5, wherein; a pressure-sensitive switch 52 is installed at the inner bottom of the cache cylinder 5, and a refrigerator 53 is embedded and installed on the inner wall of the cache cylinder 5.

[0028] During the use of this solution, in order to avoid the loss of taste, aroma and nutritional value caused by the incorrect storage method of the existing personnel, and the phenomenon that the coffee extract liquid cannot be drunk after being placed for a long time, in this embodiment, the personnel can pour the coffee extract liquid to be stored into the storage cylinder 7 through the feeding pipe 16. As the volume of the coffee extract liquid in the storage cylinder 7 gradually increases, it moves downward under the action of gravity, causing the self-adjusting component 8 below to gradually shrink. When a certain amount of coffee extract liquid is poured, the bottom of the self-adjusting component 8 contacts the pressure-sensitive switch 52, thereby triggering the start of the refrigerator 53, so as to refrigerate and store the coffee extract liquid stored in the buffer cylinder 5. When it is used later, it only needs to open the one-way valve 4 to take out the coffee extract liquid;

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention stores the coffee extract in the storage cylinder 7 in a self-triggered low temperature manner, thereby ensuring that the taste, aroma and nutritional value of the coffee extract are not easily lost when drinking, and can be stored for a long time. Moreover, the refrigerated coffee extract can have a refreshing taste and a clearer coffee flavor when drinking, retaining more aroma substances and flavor taste, and having a better drinking taste.

[0030] During use, when the coffee extract is poured into the storage cylinder 7, gravity causes the self-adjusting component 8 to move downward, thereby triggering the refrigerator 53 to refrigerate the coffee extract inside. As the coffee extract is continuously taken out, when the coffee extract in the storage cylinder 7 is taken out, the weight of the storage cylinder 7 cannot press the self-adjusting component 8 to trigger the pressure-sensitive switch 52, so the refrigerator 53 stops operating until the next person continues to pour coffee extract into the storage cylinder 7, causing the overall weight to drop, and then the refrigerator 53 operates again. This embodiment can greatly save existing energy consumption and reduce the cost of coffee extract cache in a self-triggered refrigeration mode.

[0031] See also Figure 1-2 A second feed pipe 71 is embedded in the upper end of the storage cylinder 7, and the positions of the second feed pipe 71 and the first feed pipe 6 correspond to each other. A discharge hole 72 is opened at the center of the bottom of the storage cylinder 7, and a hard film 73 is installed between the inner walls of the discharge hole 72. A second discharge pipe 51 is embedded in the center of the inner bottom of the cache cylinder 5.

[0032] During use of the present solution, a person passes through the traction conveying pipeline from the feed tube 1 6 to the feed tube 2 71 side, so that the coffee extract can be poured into the storage cylinder 7. Since the hard film 73 in the present embodiment adopts the principle of a heart valve, which is the same as the principle of a bicycle valve core, and the hard film 73 is inverted inside the discharge hole 72, it is gathered together in a closed state when there is no force. When it continues to drop under the influence of gravity after the coffee extract is poured, the discharge tube 2 cylinder 51 below it contacts the hard film 73 and penetrates to the top. After the hard film 73 is subjected to external force, the film is forced to open outward to form a channel, so that the coffee extract in the storage cylinder 7 can be taken out, and it is not easy to leak.

[0033] See also Figure 1 A transparent window is embedded in one side of the cache tube 5, and a marking scale 54 is engraved on the outer end of the transparent window. The storage tube 7 is made of transparent material.

[0034] During use of the present solution, in order to avoid the problem in the prior art that the liquid level of the coffee extract cannot be observed in time during the discharge process because the coffee extract is stored inside the device, and the coffee extract cannot be replenished in time, in the present embodiment, by embedding an identification scale 54 on one side of the buffer cylinder 5 and the storage cylinder 7 being made of a transparent material, the personnel can check the capacity of the coffee extract stored inside the storage cylinder 7 from the outside, so that the personnel can replenish the coffee extract in time, and at the same time, the amount of coffee extract taken can be quantitatively taken and replenished under the identification scale 54.

[0035] See also Figure 1-4 The self-adjusting component 8 includes two grooves 81 symmetrically opened about the center point at the bottom end of the cache tube 5, a transmission shaft 82 is fixedly connected to the inside of the groove 81, and two symmetrically distributed sliders 83 are sleeved on the outer end of the transmission shaft 82. The two sliders 83 are respectively fixedly connected to the side walls of the groove 81 with springs 84, a top plate 86 is provided between the inner walls of the cache tube 5, and a plurality of groups of buffers distributed in an interlaced manner are provided between the top plate 86 and the sliders 83.

[0036] More specifically, a group of the buffer components includes a connecting seat 85 fixedly connected to the upper end of a slider 83 on one side, and a connecting seat 2 87 fixedly connected to one side of the lower end of the top plate 86. The connecting seat 2 87 and the connecting seat 1 85 are arranged diagonally, and a connecting rod 88 is rotatably connected between the connecting seat 2 87 and the connecting seat 1 85.

[0037] During the use of the present solution, when the top plate 86 is continuously moved downward under the influence of the weight of the coffee extract in the storage cylinder 7, the slider 83 can slide on the transmission shaft 82 because the second connecting seat 87 is fixed at the bottom position of the top plate 86. When the top plate 86 is moving downward, the connecting rod 88 is subjected to pressure to continuously resist the movement of the slider 83 to the spring 84 on one side, causing the spring 84 to be compressed. At the same time, the bottom of the top plate 86 resists the surface of the pressure-sensitive switch 52, thereby triggering the start of the refrigerator 53. As the coffee extract is used, the resistance force on the top plate 86 is gradually weakened, and the spring 84 also continuously rebounds under the reduced force, causing the slider 83 to move to the initial position and continuously raising the position of the top plate 86. When the volume of the coffee extract in the storage cylinder 7 is low, the top plate 86 is separated from the pressure-sensitive switch 52, and the refrigerator 53 stops operating at this time until the person replenishes the coffee extract, causing the top plate 86 to resist the pressure-sensitive switch 52 again under the influence of gravity to cause the refrigerator 53 to start.

[0038] In this embodiment, under the action of the self-adjusting component 8, it can ensure the sealing of the coffee extract stored in the storage cylinder 7, and at the same time ensure the self-triggering switch of the refrigeration.

[0039] The above-described embodiments only express a certain implementation method of the utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the utility model shall be based on the attached claims.
