Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of coffee extraction equipment, in particular to a desktop coffee machine. Background Art
[0002] A coffee machine is a general term for coffee brewing machines. It is a machine that integrates the entire process of brewing coffee, including grinding, pressing, filling, brewing, and removing residues. Brewing coffee has precise requirements for water temperature. If the water temperature is too high, the brewed coffee will be a cup of bitter water with a burnt taste. If the water temperature is too low, the taste of the coffee cannot be reflected, so the control of water temperature is very important.
[0003] Ordinary household coffee machines have a single boiler and a set of heaters to heat the water temperature for brewing coffee. Metal seamless pipes that penetrate the boiler horizontally or vertically are used for heat alternation, thereby achieving the purpose of heating the water temperature for brewing coffee. However, because coffee has high requirements for brewing water temperature, the water temperature of ordinary coffee machines varies greatly after the hot water leaves the boiler. When brewing coffee continuously for a long time, the water temperature will drop rapidly, which can easily affect the flavor of the coffee. The working principle of commercial coffee machines with double boilers is that one sub-boiler is responsible for providing hot water for brewing coffee, and the other is responsible for producing steam as a main boiler, thereby improving the ability to produce products continuously. Existing double-boiler coffee machines generally embed the sub-boiler into the main boiler for heat exchange, so the general commercial coffee machine is larger in size and occupies more space. Therefore, in existing equipment, it is difficult to achieve a coffee machine that is both compact and exquisite and takes into account the brewing water temperature.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a desktop coffee machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0029] The heat exchange system includes a plurality of liquid conducting pipes, which are divided into a coffee pipe 5 and a hot water pipe 9. The coffee pipe 5 is connected to the coffee extraction system, and the hot water pipe 9 is connected to the temperature control system.
[0030] The coffee extraction system includes a coffee can 3, a material pump 12 and a discharge port 8. Hot water and coffee powder are put into the coffee can 3 in advance. The coffee can 3 is provided with a lower outlet 32 and an upper inlet 31. The lower outlet 32 is connected to the inlet of the material pump 12 through a pipeline. After the extraction liquid in the coffee can 3 is initially soaked, it will flow into the material pump 12 through the pipeline. The outlet of the material pump 12 is connected to one end of the coffee pipeline 5. The other end of the coffee pipeline 5 is connected to the upper inlet 31 and the discharge port 8. The coffee pipeline 5 is a one-way trip, which only refers to the pipeline from the material pump 12 to the coffee can 3 and the discharge port 8. After passing through the material pump 12, it is re-pumped into the coffee can 3 through the coffee pipeline 5 or discharged from the discharge port 8.
[0031] The temperature control system includes a hot water tank 4 and a hot water pump 11. The hot water tank 4 is provided with a steam outlet 41 and a hot water inlet 42. The hot water tank 4 continuously heats the internal liquid according to the production parameters of the touch screen 2, and the internal pressure is monitored by a temperature-resistant pressure gauge 13. The liquid at the bottom of the hot water tank 4 is monitored by a temperature sensor 14.
[0032] The steam outlet 41 is connected to the inlet of the hot water pump 11 through the hot water pipe 9. The hot water pipe 9 is one-way and only refers to the pipe part from the steam outlet 41 to the hot water pump 11. The hot water inlet 42 is connected to the outlet pipe of the hot water pump 11. The liquid in the hot water tank 4 is heated to form steam, which is discharged from the steam outlet 41 to the hot water pipe 9.
