DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The following is a further non-restrictive detailed description of the utility model technical solution in conjunction with the preferred embodiment and its accompanying drawings. In the description of the utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like indicate the orientation or position relationship based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the utility model, the meaning of "multiple" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the utility model, and cannot be understood as limitations on the utility model.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a coffee machine according to an embodiment of the utility model includes a housing 600, a capsule extraction module (not shown) and a capsule box 100. The capsule extraction module may be a capsule coffee preparation module. Capsule coffee is usually an aluminum capsule used to store coffee powder ground from coffee beans. Capsule coffee can solve the problems of ordinary coffee beans or coffee powder becoming sour and oxidized due to contact with air. The capsule box 100 is used to collect discarded capsules dropped from the capsule extraction module. The discarded capsules herein refer to used capsule shells. In addition, in this embodiment, the capsule extraction module and the capsule box 100 are both arranged inside the housing 600, and the capsule extraction module is located above the capsule box 100.
[0029] The housing 600 is provided with an assembly groove 601, and the first box body 200 is detachably mounted in the assembly groove 601. In this embodiment, the assembly groove 601 is provided on the side of the housing 600. During installation, the user pushes the capsule box 100 along the direction of the assembly groove 601 to install it in place. By arranging the capsule box 100 inside the housing 600, not only the external space occupied by the coffee machine is reduced, but also the aesthetics of the coffee machine is improved.
[0030] like Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the capsule box 100 includes a first box body 200 and a second box body 300 for collecting discarded capsules. The second box body 300 is made of transparent material and is detachably arranged in the first box body 200. A window 201 is provided on the side of the first box body 200 to facilitate the user to observe the internal situation of the second box body 300. At this time, the user does not need to take out the capsule box 100, and can clearly see the accumulation of discarded capsules in the second box body 300 through the window 201, which is convenient for the user to clean the capsule box 100 in time.
[0031] A storage portion 400 is formed between the first box body 200 and the second box body 300, and a small hole 500 is provided on the bottom wall of the second box body 300 so that the residual waste liquid on the discarded capsules can drip into the storage portion 400. Since the discarded capsules dropped from the capsule extraction module are stuck with residual droplets produced after hot water brewing, if the residual droplets are stored with the discarded capsules for a long time, it will easily breed bacteria and produce odor. Therefore, a plurality of small holes 500 are provided on the bottom wall of the second box body 300, and the residual droplets on the discarded capsules will flow into the storage portion 400 along the small holes 500, realizing solid-liquid separation, and also convenient for users to clean. When cleaning, just pour the discarded capsules in the second box body 300 into the garbage bag and pour the residual liquid in the first box body 200 into the pool, without manual classification, and convenient and quick cleaning.
[0032] A buckle 302 is provided on the first side wall 301 of the second box body 300, and the buckle 302 is buckled with the opening edge 202 of the first box body 200. The buckle 302 is located at the highest point of the first side wall 301, and is connected to the first box body 200 in the form of a hook. On the one hand, the hook can ensure the stability of the installation structure of the first box body 200, and on the other hand, it is convenient to install and separate the second box body 300 from the first box body 200.
[0033] The third side wall 203 of the first box body 200 is partially recessed inward to form a first recess 204, and the bent portion 303 of the buckle 302 is located in the first recess 204 to prevent the bent portion 303 of the buckle 302 from protruding from the surface of the third side wall 203, causing interference when installing the capsule box 100.
[0034] The first side wall 301 of the second box body 300 is recessed inwardly corresponding to the position of the first recess 204 to form a second recess 304. The second recess 304 is used to receive the first recess 204, ensuring that the outer wall of the second box body 300 and the inner wall of the first box body 200 are tightly fitted everywhere, thereby maximizing the capacity of the second box body 300 in the limited space of the first box body 200. Secondly, the second box body 300 can also provide support for the first box body 200, thereby improving the stability of the combination with the first box body 200.
[0035] The second side wall 305 of the second box body 300 protrudes outward to form a convex portion 306, which is adapted to the shape of the window 201 and is matched with the window 201. The window 201 can provide an upward supporting force for the convex portion 306 to prevent the second box body 300 from tilting.
[0036] In this embodiment, the third side wall 203 and the window 201 of the first box body 200 are respectively located on opposite sides of the first box body 200, and the first side wall 301 of the second box body 300 and the second side wall 305 of the second box body 300 are respectively located on opposite sides of the second box body 300. When the second box body 300 is installed in the first box body 200, the third side wall 203 of the first box body 200 is affixed to the first side wall 301 of the second box body 300, and the side wall of the first box body 200 where the window 201 is located is affixed to the second side wall 305 of the second box body 300.
[0037] like Figure 7 As shown, the inner wall of the window 201 is provided with a first groove 205, and the outer peripheral surface of the convex portion 306 is provided with a first protrusion 307, and the first protrusion 307 is accommodated in the first groove 205. By providing the first protrusion 307 and the first groove 205, the second box body 300 can only be separated along the axial direction of the first box body 200, so as to prevent the second box body 300 from automatically separating from the first box body 200 when the coffee machine is working.
[0038] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they 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 variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, and these all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
