Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to but is not limited to the technical field of coffee machines, and specifically refers to a bean bin installation structure and a coffee machine. Background Art

[0002] At present, in order to facilitate users to remove the bean hopper, the bean hopper assembly generally adds a valve to block the lower bean port to prevent coffee beans from spilling when the bean hopper is taken out. The main solutions currently adopted are: Rotary: When the bean hopper is fixed, during the rotation process, the lower valve is driven to open synchronously through a complex linkage structure. This method integrates the two steps of bean hopper fixing and valve opening together, which improves convenience, but the entire assembly is relatively complex. Utility Model Content

[0005] When it is necessary to grind coffee beans, the bean bin assembly is mounted on the bracket assembly.

[0049] The principles and features of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0050] The embodiment of the present application provides a bean bin installation structure, which can be used in a coffee machine, but is not limited to a coffee machine, and can also be used in other bean grinding devices. When the bean bin installation structure is used in a coffee machine, the bean bin 1 is used to hold coffee beans. The following description takes the bean bin 1 being used to hold coffee beans as an example.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the bean bin installation structure includes a bean bin assembly and a bracket assembly. The bean bin assembly includes a bean bin body and a valve 3. The bean bin body includes a bean bin 1 and a bean bin seat 2. The bean bin 1 is provided with a lower bean opening 11, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 The bean bin seat 2 is configured to support the bean bin 1. The valve 3 is slidably mounted on the bean bin seat 2 and configured to open or close the bean lower opening 11. The valve 3 is provided with a driving matching portion.

[0052] The bracket assembly is configured to support the bean bin assembly and is detachably matched with the bean bin seat 2. The bracket assembly is provided with a driving part, which is configured to be matched with the driving matching part so that the valve 3 can slide relative to the bean bin seat 2 to open the bean lower opening 11 during the process of the bean bin seat 2 being installed on the bracket assembly.

[0053] The bean bin installation structure provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a bean bin assembly and a bracket assembly. The bean bin assembly includes a bean bin 1, a bean bin seat 2 and a valve 3. The bean bin 1 is used to hold coffee beans. The bean bin 1 is provided with a lower bean opening 11 for the coffee beans to fall and discharge, and the discharged coffee beans can enter the grinding device and be ground into coffee powder. The valve 3 is used to control the opening and closing of the lower bean opening 11. The bean bin seat 2 is used to support the bean bin 1 and serve as a mounting carrier for the valve 3. The bracket assembly can support the bean bin assembly to ensure the stability and reliability of the bean bin assembly during use. The bean bin seat 2 and the bracket assembly can be provided with a feed port 26 (as shown in the figure and the figure), and the feed port 26 can be connected to the lower bean opening 11 when the lower bean opening 11 is opened. The feed port 26 can be connected to the grinding device. When the valve 3 opens the lower bean opening 11, the coffee beans can pass through the lower bean opening 11 and the feed port 26 into the grinding device and be ground into coffee powder. When the bean bin assembly needs to be removed, the bean bin assembly is removed from the bracket assembly, and the valve 3 can close the bean lower opening 11 to prevent the coffee beans in the bean bin 1 from spilling out of the bean lower opening 11.

[0054] The valve 3 is slidably mounted on the bean bin seat 2 and can slide relative to the bean bin seat 2. The bean bin 1 can be detachably connected to the bean bin seat 2, and the bean bin seat 2 can be detachably matched with the bracket assembly, so that the bean bin assembly can move as a whole relative to the bracket assembly to detach from the bracket assembly. The valve 3 is provided with a driving matching portion, and the bracket assembly is provided with a driving portion for matching with the driving matching portion.

[0055] When it is necessary to grind coffee beans, the bean bin assembly is mounted on the bracket assembly. During the installation of the bean bin assembly, the driving mating portion can slide under the force of the driving portion, thereby driving the valve 3 to slide from the closed position closing the lower bean opening 11 to the open position opening the lower bean opening 11 (as shown in the figure and the figure), and the coffee beans can fall downward into the grinding device.

[0056] When beans need to be added to the bean bin 1 , the bean bin assembly is disassembled from the bracket assembly and the valve 3 is closed, and beans can be added to the bean bin 1 .

[0057] Therefore, the bean silo installation structure provided in the embodiment of the present application can integrate the fixing process of the bean silo assembly with the opening operation of the valve 3, and does not require an additional complex linkage mechanism to realize the rotation of the valve 3. Instead, the sliding opening of the valve 3 can be realized by the cooperation between the driving matching part on the valve 3 and the driving part on the bracket assembly, which is conducive to simplifying the structure and reducing costs.

[0058] In other embodiments, the bean silo body may not include the bean silo seat, and a structure corresponding to the function of the bean silo seat may be provided at the bottom of the bean silo (it may also be understood that the bean silo and the bean silo seat are integrally formed) to achieve the coordination relationship between the bean silo body, the valve and the fixed bracket.

[0059] In some exemplary embodiments, the bean silo seat 2 is configured to slide relative to the bracket assembly along a first direction, and the valve 3 is configured to slide relative to the bean silo seat 2 along a second direction that is different from the first direction.

[0060] The driving mating portion includes a first mating inclined surface 311, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Fig.10 As shown, the first matching inclined surface 311 is inclined relative to the second direction. The driving portion includes a driving inclined surface 611, such as Fig.10 As shown, the driving inclined surface 611 is inclined relative to the first direction and is matched with the first matching inclined surface 311 so that the valve 3 can slide relative to the bean silo seat 2 to open the lower bean opening 11 during the process of the bean silo seat 2 being slidably mounted to the bracket assembly.

[0061] Through the cooperation between the driving inclined surface 611 and the first matching inclined surface 311, the sliding of the valve 3 along the second direction can be achieved by utilizing the sliding of the bean silo seat 2 along the first direction.

[0062] The first direction may be perpendicular to the second direction. The first direction may be a vertical direction, and the second direction may be a horizontal direction. The valve plate 31 may be located on the upper side of the inner bottom wall of the bean bin seat 2, and the valve plate 31 may be provided with an upwardly concave groove, and the top wall of the groove forms a first matching inclined surface 311, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0063] In some embodiments, the support assembly is provided with a driving protrusion 61, and a driving inclined surface 611 is provided on the driving protrusion 61. Figure 6 and Fig.10 shown.

[0064] Of course, the valve 3 may be provided with a driving protrusion 61, and the first matching slope 311 may be provided on the driving protrusion 61 of the valve 3. Alternatively, the valve 3 and the bracket assembly may both be provided with a driving protrusion 61, the first matching slope 311 may be provided on the driving protrusion 61 of the valve 3, and the driving slope 611 may be provided on the driving protrusion 61 of the bracket assembly.

[0065] In some exemplary embodiments, the valve 3 includes: two valve plates 31 arranged along the second direction (ie, the sliding direction of the valve 3), such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The two valve plates 31 are both slidably connected to the bean bin seat 2, and are configured to be able to slide toward each other to close the lower bean opening 11, and slide away from each other to open the lower bean opening 11.

[0066] Each valve plate 31 is provided with at least one driving matching portion. The bracket assembly is provided with a plurality of driving portions. The plurality of driving portions are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the driving matching portions of the two valve plates 31.

[0067] This solution is beneficial to reducing the area of ​​a single valve plate 31 , so as to reduce the demand for activity space of a single valve plate 31 , and facilitate the flexible sliding of the valve plate 31 in the bean bin seat 2 .

[0068] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the two valve plates 31 are symmetrically arranged, and the driving matching part is arranged at one end of the valve plate 31 close to the adjacent valve plate 31. In this way, the driving matching part is close to the bean lowering opening 11, which is convenient for integrating the driving parts required by the two valve plates 31 in the vicinity of the bean lowering opening 11, and is conducive to simplifying the structure of the bracket assembly.

[0069] For example, in the solution where the driving mating portion includes the first mating inclined surface 311, both valve plates 31 are provided with the first mating inclined surface 311, and the driving protrusion 61 is provided with two driving inclined surfaces 611. Fig.10 As shown, the two driving inclined surfaces 611 of a driving protrusion 61 can be matched with the opposite first matching inclined surfaces 311 of the two valve plates 31 .

[0070] One valve plate 31 may be provided with two first matching inclined surfaces 311, and the number of the driving protrusions 61 may be two, such as Figure 6 As shown, the two driving protrusions 61 cooperate with the four first matching inclined surfaces 311 of the two valve plates 31 .

[0071] When the bean bin seat 2 slides downward along the first direction and is installed to the bracket assembly, the first matching inclined surfaces 311 of the two valve plates 31 press against the driving inclined surfaces 611 of the driving protrusion 61. Under the action of the driving protrusion 61, the two valve plates 31 slide away from each other to open the lower bean opening 11. Since the driving protrusion 61 is sandwiched between the two valve plates 31, the two valve plates 31 can be kept in the open position.

[0072] In some exemplary embodiments, the bean silo seat 2 is provided with a plurality of anti-blocking protrusions 22 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the lower bean opening 11, such as Figure 6 The anti-blocking protrusion 22 is located radially outside the bean lowering opening 11, and the valve plate 31 is provided with an avoidance groove 32 corresponding to the anti-blocking protrusion 22, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown.

[0073] The anti-blocking protrusion 22 is used to prevent the coffee beans falling from the bean outlet 11 from falling on the bean bin seat 2 and affecting the normal sliding of the valve plate 31. The avoidance groove 32 is used to avoid the anti-blocking protrusion 22 to ensure that the anti-blocking protrusion 22 does not affect the normal sliding of the valve plate 31.

[0074] The shapes of the anti-blocking protrusion 22 and the avoidance groove 32 are not limited. In some examples, the anti-blocking protrusion 22 is configured as a strip structure extending along the second direction, such as Figure 5As shown, the avoidance groove 32 is configured as a sliding groove structure extending along the second direction.

[0075] In some exemplary embodiments, the bean silo seat 2 is further provided with a positioning protrusion 24, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown. A positioning surface 341 is provided at one end of any valve plate 31 close to the adjacent valve plate 31. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown. When the valve 3 slides to the position of closing the lower bean opening 11, the positioning surfaces 341 of the two valve plates 31 abut against the positioning protrusion 24. In other words, when the valve 3 slides to the closed position, the two valve plates 31 just clamp the positioning protrusion 24 of the bean bin seat 2 to achieve the positioning effect.

[0076] Among them, a positioning recess 34 may be provided at one end of any valve plate 31 close to the adjacent valve plate 31, such as Figure 2 As shown, the side wall surface of the positioning recess 34 facing the positioning protrusion 24 forms a positioning surface 341. In this way, when the valve 3 slides to the closed position, the two valve plates 31 just clamp the positioning protrusion 24 of the bean bin seat 2, and the positioning protrusion 24 just fits in the groove surrounded by the positioning recesses 34 of the two valve plates 31. This is conducive to the close contact of the two valve plates 31, so as to improve the closing effect of the lower bean opening 11.

[0077] In some exemplary embodiments, one of the valve plate 31 and the bean silo seat 2 is provided with a first slide groove 33 (such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown), the other is provided with a slide rail 21 (as shown Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure), the slide rail 21 is slidably matched with the first slide groove 33 so that the valve plate 31 is slidably connected to the bean bin seat 2.

[0078] The cooperation between the slide rail 21 and the first slide groove 33 can guide the sliding of the valve plate 31 relative to the bean silo seat 2, which is beneficial to prevent the valve plate 31 from getting stuck or stuck, thereby improving the reliability of the bean silo installation structure.

[0079] In some exemplary embodiments, the bean silo assembly further includes: an elastic member, cooperating with the valve 3, configured to utilize its restoring elastic force to drive the valve 3 to slide relative to the bean silo seat 2 to close the lower bean opening 11 during the process of the bean silo seat 2 being separated from the bracket assembly.

[0080] In this way, the driving force for opening the valve 3 can come from the operating force of the user pressing the bean bin assembly (which can also include the gravity of the bean bin assembly). The driving force for closing the valve 3 can come from the resetting elastic force of the elastic member, so that the user does not need to manually reset the valve 3, which is conducive to improving the user's operational convenience. In addition, this solution integrates the removal process of the bean bin assembly with the closing operation of the valve 3, and does not require the additional setting of a complex linkage mechanism to realize the rotation of the valve 3. Instead, the valve 3 is slid open by the cooperation of the elastic member and the valve 3, which is conducive to simplifying the structure and reducing costs.

[0081] Among them, the maximum reset elastic force of the elastic part can be sufficient to overcome the gravity of the bean hopper assembly and the sliding friction between the bean hopper seat 2 and the bracket assembly, so that during the disassembly of the bean hopper assembly, the bean hopper assembly can automatically slide upward and rise to a certain extent, and then the user can remove the bean hopper assembly, which is conducive to further improving the user's operating convenience.

[0082] Of course, the restoring elastic force of the elastic member may not be sufficient to overcome the gravity of the bean bin assembly and the sliding friction between the bean bin seat 2 and the bracket assembly, so that the bean bin assembly can stably stay on the bracket assembly and remain in the state of opening the lower bean opening 11. During the process of disassembling the bean bin assembly, the user applies force to the bean bin assembly and lifts the bean bin assembly upward, and the elastic member uses its restoring elastic force to drive the valve 3 to return to the closed position.

[0083] In some embodiments, the valve 3 includes: two valve plates 31 arranged along the sliding direction of the valve 3. The two valve plates 31 are slidably connected to the bean bin seat 2, and are configured to slide in a direction close to each other to close the bean outlet 11, and slide in a direction away from each other to open the bean outlet 11. The elastic member includes a tension spring 4, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Fig.11 The two ends of the tension spring 4 are respectively limited to the two valve plates 31.

[0084] When the valve 3 is opened, the two valve plates 31 slide away from each other, pulling the tension spring 4 apart, causing the tension spring 4 to deform elastically and store elastic potential energy. When the valve 3 is closed, the tension spring 4 releases the elastic potential energy and uses its restoring elastic force to pull the two valve plates 31 to slide toward each other, thereby closing the bean outlet 11.

[0085] A limiting structure may be provided on the valve plate 31 to limit the tension spring 4. For example, the limiting structure may include an L-shaped protrusion 35, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Fig.11 A hook is provided at the end of the tension spring 4, and the hook is hooked on the L-shaped protrusion 35.

[0086] The number of the tension spring 4 can be two, such as Figure 1and Figure 2 As shown, the two tension springs 4 are symmetrically arranged, which is beneficial to balancing the forces on the two valve plates 31 and increasing the restoring elastic force.

[0087] The tension spring 4 may be located on the upper side of the valve plate 31. The bottom of the bean bin 1 may be configured as a funnel-shaped structure, such as Figure 3 In this way, the tension spring 4 can be located outside the lower bean opening 11 and will not interfere with the bean bin 1.

[0088] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the bracket assembly includes: a housing bracket 5 and a matching bracket 6. The housing bracket 5 is configured to support the bean bin assembly and is detachably matched with the bean bin seat 2. The matching bracket 6 is installed on the housing bracket 5 and is provided with a driving part.

[0089] The housing bracket 5 is a mounting carrier for the bean bin assembly and the matching bracket 6. The housing bracket 5 can be connected to the grinding device. The matching bracket 6 is mainly used to cooperate with the valve 3 so that the valve 3 can be opened and kept in the open position.

[0090] In some exemplary embodiments, the matching bracket 6 is located between the bean silo seat 2 and the housing bracket 5. The bean silo seat 2 is provided with an avoidance hole 23, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Fig.10 The driving part is arranged to be able to penetrate through the avoidance hole 23 and cooperate with the driving matching part.

[0091] For a solution in which the valve 3 includes two valve plates 31 and the support 6 is provided with multiple driving parts, the bean silo seat 2 can be provided with multiple avoidance holes 23 accordingly. For example, if the support 6 is provided with two driving protrusions 61, and each driving protrusion 61 is provided with two driving inclined surfaces 611, the bean silo seat 2 can be provided with two avoidance holes 23, such as Figure 5 As shown, each avoidance hole 23 is provided corresponding to a driving protrusion 61. The driving protrusion 61 may be a substantially triangular plate-shaped structure, and the avoidance hole 23 may be a strip-shaped hole.

[0092] Among them, Figure 5 As shown, the avoidance hole 23 can be located on the side of the slide rail 21 away from the bean lowering port 11, that is, the avoidance hole 23 is located relatively outside and the slide rail 21 is located relatively inside. This is conducive to extending the length of the slide rail 21 to improve the reliability and smoothness of the sliding of the valve plate 31.

[0093] When the bean bin assembly slides downward into the housing support 5, the driving protrusion 61 is inserted into the avoidance hole 23, and the driving inclined surface 611 of the driving protrusion 61 contacts the first matching inclined surface 311 of the valve plate 31. When the bean bin assembly continues to slide downward, the two valve plates 31 are acted upon by the driving inclined surface 611 and slide away from each other, and finally slide to the open position where the lower bean opening 11 is opened.

[0094] In some exemplary embodiments, the bean silo seat 2 is configured to be mounted inside the housing support 5, such as Fig.10 and Fig.11 The inner side wall of the housing support 5 is provided with a second slide groove 511 extending along the first direction. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The outer wall of the bean bin seat 2 is provided with a slider 25, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 5 The slider 25 is slidably matched with the second slide groove 511 , and the valve 3 can slide relative to the bean bin seat 2 to open or close the bean lowering opening 11 when the slider 25 slides along the second slide groove 511 .

[0095] The cooperation between the second slide groove 511 and the slider 25 can guide the process of installing the bean bin assembly to the bracket assembly, which is helpful to reduce the difficulty of installation and improve the convenience of operation.

[0096] The number of the sliders 25 may be multiple, such as Figure 5 As shown, multiple sliders 25 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the bean bin seat 2, such as evenly arranged, which is conducive to balancing the force between the bean bin assembly and the bracket assembly, and is conducive to improving the smoothness of the movement of the bean bin assembly relative to the bracket. However, only one slider 25 can be used in conjunction with the sensor assembly to reduce the number of sensor assemblies and reduce product costs.

[0097] In some exemplary embodiments, the inner side wall of the housing support 5 is further provided with a rotation groove 512 extending along the circumference of the lower bean opening 11. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, one end of the rotating groove 512 is connected to the second sliding groove 511. The matching bracket 6 is rotatably mounted on the housing bracket 5.

[0098] The slider 25 is configured to enter the rotating groove 512 through the second sliding groove 511 and rotate along the rotating groove 512 to drive the bean bin assembly and the matching bracket 6 to rotate relative to the housing bracket 5 so that the bean bin assembly and the matching bracket 6 are limited to the housing bracket 5.

[0099] When the bean bin assembly slides downward along the second slide groove 511 to the intersection with the rotating groove 512, the slider 25 can continue to slide along the rotating groove 512 by rotating the bean bin assembly, and the driving portion of the matching bracket 6 still interacts with the driving matching portion of the valve 3, so the bean bin assembly will rotate synchronously with the matching bracket 6, and the matching bracket 6 and the valve 3 remain relatively still, and the valve 3 remains in the open position during the rotation of the bean bin seat 2.

[0100] When the slider 25 enters the rotation groove 512, it is restricted by the rotation groove 512 and the bean bin assembly cannot slide upward and out under the restoring elastic force of the elastic member, so that the bean bin assembly can be stably installed on the bracket assembly and keep the lower bean opening 11 in an open state.

[0101] During the process of disassembling the bean bin assembly, when the slider 25 slides in the reverse direction to the intersection with the slide groove, the restriction of the rotating groove 512 has been released, and the restoring elastic force of the elastic member can pull the valve 3 to slide to the closed position. Since the driving matching part of the valve 3 and the driving part of the matching bracket 6 still interact with each other, the valve 3 will slide relative to the bean bin seat 2 while sliding upward, driving the entire bean bin assembly to slide upward together, thereby realizing the automatic sliding and rising of the bean bin assembly, which is conducive to further improving the user's operating convenience.

[0102] In some exemplary embodiments, a limiting protrusion 5111 is provided in the second slide groove 511, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 The limiting protrusion 5111 is configured to cooperate with the slider 25 when the slider 25 escapes from the second slide groove 511, so as to limit the sliding range of the bean bin assembly.

[0103] In this way, the height to which the bean bin assembly is automatically lifted can be limited, and accidents caused by the bean bin assembly being completely ejected can be avoided. In this way, even if the user does not remove the bean bin assembly, the bean bin assembly can continue to be fixed on the housing bracket 5, and the lower bean opening 11 can continue to remain in a closed state, which can provide users with a more diverse experience.

[0104] In some exemplary embodiments, the housing bracket 5 is further provided with a first slot hole 54 communicating with the other end of the rotating slot 512. Figure 7 shown.

[0105] The bean bin installation structure also includes: a sensor assembly, the sensor assembly includes a sensor bracket 72, a sensor 71, a sensor reset member 73 and a trigger member 74, such as Figure 1As shown. The sensor 71, the sensor reset member 73 and the trigger member 74 are installed on the sensor bracket 72. The sensor bracket 72 is connected to the housing bracket 5. The trigger member 74 is inserted into the first slot 54 and is configured to trigger the sensor 71 under the drive of the slider 25. The sensor reset member 73 is configured to drive the trigger member 74 to reset after the slider 25 is separated from the trigger member 74.

[0106] The sensor 71 can be electrically connected to the main control board of the coffee machine. When the sensor 71 is triggered, the main control board can control the grinding device to start working. When the slider 25 moves to the position where the trigger member 74 is driven to trigger the sensor 71, it indicates that the bean bin assembly is installed in place and the lower bean opening 11 has been opened, so the grinding operation can be started. When the slider 25 slides in the reverse direction to disengage the trigger member 74, the trigger member 74 can be reset under the reset elastic force of the sensor reset member 73.

[0107] In some exemplary embodiments, the first slot 54 extends along the axial direction of the lower bean opening 11. The slider 25 is provided with a triggering inclined surface 251, such as Figure 2 The trigger member 74 is provided with a second matching inclined surface 741, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 The trigger slope 251 is configured to cooperate with the second matching slope 741 , so that the trigger member 74 can move along the first slot 54 to trigger the sensor 71 when the slider 25 rotates along the rotating slot 512 and pushes the trigger member 74 .

[0108] Through the cooperation between the trigger slope 251 and the second matching slope 741 , the rotation of the slider 25 along the circumferential direction of the bean discharge opening 11 can be utilized to realize the sliding of the trigger member 74 along the axial direction of the discharge opening.

[0109] The structural form of the trigger member 74 is not limited, and can be a rod-shaped, column-shaped, plate-shaped, block-shaped, special-shaped structure, etc. The sensor bracket 72 can be fixedly connected to the housing bracket 5 by a fastener (such as a screw). The sensor bracket 72 can be provided with a mounting groove, and the sensor 71 is installed in the mounting groove. The trigger member 74 can be provided with a guide column, and the sensor reset member 73 can be a spring, which is sleeved on the guide column and abuts against the trigger member 74. When the trigger member 74 moves downward, the sensor 71 is triggered and the spring is compressed. When the slider 25 is separated from the trigger member 74, the trigger member 74 rises and resets, and the spring and the sensor 71 are also reset.

[0110] In some exemplary embodiments, the housing bracket 5 is provided with a stop protrusion 55, such as Figure 8 As shown, the stop protrusion 55 is configured to stop against the trigger member 74 to limit the trigger member 74 from moving along the first slot 54 in a direction away from the sensor 71 and moving along the circumference of the bean lowering opening 11 in a direction away from the slider 25 .

[0111] The stop protrusion 55 may be L-shaped. Figure 8 As shown, the trigger member 74 abuts against the upper end thereof and the end of the trigger member 74 away from the slider 25. The setting of the stop protrusion 55 is conducive to ensuring that the trigger member 74 can only move along the first slot 54 within a set range, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the trigger member 74.

[0112] In some exemplary embodiments, the housing support 5 is further provided with a second slot 521 extending along the circumference of the lower bean opening 11. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The matching bracket 6 is provided with a buckle 62, as shown. Figure 6 The buckle 62 is locked in the second slot 521 and can rotate along the second slot 521. Fig. 9 and Fig.11 shown.

[0113] In this way, the matching bracket 6 and the housing bracket 5 are detachably connected and rotatably connected by snapping, which has a simple structure, is easy to process and form, and is also easy to rotate. The number of buckles 62 can be multiple, and the multiple buckles 62 are arranged at intervals (such as evenly arranged) along the circumference of the matching bracket 6. The number of second slots 521 is equal to the number of buckles 62 and corresponds one to one, which is conducive to balancing the force of the matching bracket 6 and improving the smoothness of the movement of the matching bracket 6.

[0114] The inner wall surface of the housing support 5 can be set to a step-like structure, including a first side wall 51, a step surface 52 and a second side wall 53 connected in sequence, such as Figure 7 As shown, the diameter of the first side wall 51 is greater than the diameter of the second side wall 53. The second slide groove 511 and the rotation groove 512 are arranged on the first side wall 51, and the second slot hole 521 penetrates the step surface 52 and extends downward.

[0115] In some exemplary embodiments, a limiting portion 522 is provided in the second slot 521. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The matching bracket 6 is provided with a limiting matching portion 63, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 The position-limiting matching portion 63 is configured to match with the position-limiting portion 522 when the slider 25 moves along the rotating groove 512 to the intersection with the second sliding groove 511, so that the matching bracket 6 is positioned at the current position.

[0116] In this way, the matching bracket 6 can be fixed at the current position, which is conducive to the good matching of the bean bin assembly with the matching bracket 6 during the next installation process.

[0117] As for the structural form of the limiting part 522 and the limiting matching part 63, there is no restriction. For example, the limiting part 522 and the limiting matching part 63 can be a protrusion and a groove, and the positioning is achieved by the concave-convex matching, such as Fig. 9As shown; they can also all be protrusions, and positioning can be achieved through stop fit.

[0118] In some exemplary embodiments, a positioning protrusion 5121 is provided in the rotation groove 512. Figure 7 and Figure 8 When the slider 25 approaches the trigger member 74 along the rotating groove 512 , the slider 25 starts to contact with the trigger member 74 when the slider 25 reaches the positioning protrusion 5121 .

[0119] In this way, during the installation of the bean bin assembly, when the slider 25 moves to the positioning protrusion 5121, it indicates that the slider 25 contacts the trigger member 74, and the bean bin assembly can be installed in place by slightly pushing it. During the disassembly of the bean bin assembly, when the slider 25 is separated from the positioning protrusion 5121, it indicates that the slider 25 is separated from the trigger member 74, and the bean bin assembly can be quickly pushed to move the slider 25 to the intersection of the rotating groove 512 and the second sliding groove 511, and then the bean bin assembly can be taken out upward to realize the disassembly of the bean bin assembly. Therefore, the positioning protrusion 5121 can provide a certain operating feel for the user, which is convenient for the user to understand the disassembly progress.

[0120] In some exemplary embodiments, the bean bin seat 2 and the support assembly are provided with a material passing port 26 corresponding to the lower bean opening 11, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 The bean bin installation structure also includes a detection component (not shown in the figure) for detecting whether beans are lacking, and the detection component includes a transmitting part and a receiving part.

[0121] like Fig.12 As shown, the bracket assembly is further provided with a first hole 561 and a second hole 562. The first hole 561 and the second hole 562 are symmetrically arranged on both radial sides of the feed port 26, the first hole 561 is arranged to install the transmitting part, and the second hole 562 is arranged to install the receiving part.

[0122] When the receiving unit can receive the signal sent by the transmitting unit, it indicates that the transmitted signal is not blocked by the falling coffee beans, so the bean bin 1 is short of beans. When the receiving unit cannot receive the signal sent by the transmitting unit, it indicates that the transmitted signal is blocked by the falling coffee beans, so the bean bin 1 is not short of beans.

[0123] The type of detection component is not limited. For example, the detection component can be an infrared detection sensor 71, and the signal emitted by the transmitter is infrared. The detection component can also be an ultrasonic detection sensor 71, and the signal emitted by the transmitter is ultrasonic.

[0124] The embodiment of the present application further provides a coffee machine (not shown in the figure), including the bean bin mounting structure of any one of the above embodiments, and thus has all the above beneficial effects, which will not be repeated here.

[0125] In summary, the bean hopper installation structure and the coffee machine provided in the embodiments of the present application are conducive to preventing the user from forgetting to close the valve when removing the bean hopper assembly, resulting in spilling beans, and have a compact structure and are easy to operate.
