DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiment of the utility model described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0031] In addition, in the present utility model, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes, and do not specifically refer to the order or sequence, nor are they used to limit the present utility model. They are only used to distinguish components or operations described with the same technical terms, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.

[0032] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the bean box of the coffee machine of the present invention is detachably mounted on a mounting seat 2 on the top of the coffee machine, and a limiting groove 21 is provided on the mounting seat 2. The bean box 1 comprises a bean bin 11, a limiting ring 12, a bean box door 13 and a bottom cover 14 which are installed in sequence, and a discharge port 111 and a plurality of fixing columns 112 are provided at the bottom of the bean bin 11, and a detachable cover 116 is provided at the top.

[0033] The limiting ring 12 is provided with a step surface 121 inside and a first limiting block 122 outside. When the bean box 1 is installed in the mounting seat 2, the first limiting block 122 is located in the limiting groove 21. When the bean box is disassembled, the first limiting block 122 is separated from the limiting groove 21. The bean box door 13 is located at the bottom of the bean bin 11, and an annular through hole 131 is provided at the bottom. The fixing column 112 passes through the annular through hole 131 and is fixed to the bottom cover 14, so that the bean bin 11 and the bottom cover 14 are fixed together, that is, when the bean bin 11 is rotated, the bottom cover 14 also rotates together.

[0034] The bottom of the bean box door 13 is provided with an opening 132 and a baffle 133 arranged at intervals, and the side wall is provided with a protrusion 134, and the protrusion 134 is clamped on the step surface 121, so that the bean box door 13 is restricted on the limiting ring 12. When the bean bin 11 rotates, the fixing column 112 slides within the distance of the annular through hole 131, and the bean box door 13 is fixed. At this time, the bean bin 11 is in the process of opening or closing. When the bean bin 11 is rotated, the bean bin 11 rotates relative to the bean box door 13, and the baffle 133 blocks the discharge port 111, so that the bean bin 11 is in a closed state; or, when the opening 132 is opposite to the discharge port 111, the bean bin 11 is in an open state, and coffee beans can fall from the discharge port 111. The bean bin 11 is in an open state when it rotates clockwise relative to the bean box door 13, or it is in an open state when it rotates counterclockwise relative to the bean box door 13, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0035] The outer side wall of the bottom cover 14 is provided with a second stopper 141. When the discharge port 111 is opened, the positions of the first stopper 122 and the second stopper 141 are staggered. At this time, the second stopper 141 is stuck under the mounting seat 2, and the entire bean box cannot be removed from the mounting seat 2. Similarly, it can be understood that only when the discharge port 111 is in a closed state, the positions of the second stopper 141 and the first stopper 122 are aligned up and down, and at this time, the second stopper 141 can be taken out from the stopper groove 21, so that the entire bean box can be removed. Therefore, the bean box of this embodiment can only be removed from the top of the coffee machine when it is in a closed state, and the user will not accidentally leak beans during the removal of the bean box.

[0036] Further, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the bean box door 13 is a double-layer circular ring in a stepped shape, which includes an upper circular ring and a lower circular ring. The side wall of the upper circular ring is provided with a limiting portion 135, and the top of the limiting portion 135 is provided with a third limiting block 136. The corresponding limiting ring 12 is provided with a groove 123, and the third limiting block 136 is clamped in the groove 123. When the bean bin 11 is rotated with a small amplitude, the groove 123 plays a certain fixing role on the bean box door 13. In this embodiment, the step surface 121 is adjacent to the groove 123. When the bean bin 11 rotates with a large amplitude, when the fixing column 112 rotates to the edge of the annular through hole 131, the bean bin 11 is continuously rotated, so that the third limiting block 136 can be disengaged from the groove 123. At this time, the bean box door 13 can rotate together with the bean bin 11 until the third limiting block 136 is clamped at the edge of the step surface 121, and the bean bin 11 cannot continue to rotate.

[0037] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom cover 14 is circular and is provided with a circular hollow area 142. The outer diameter of the lower circular ring of the bean box door 13 matches the inner diameter of the circular hollow area 142. The outer diameter of the upper circular ring is smaller than the inner diameter of the bottom cover 14 and larger than the inner diameter of the circular hollow area 142. The annular through hole 131 is provided at the bottom of the upper circular ring. The protrusion 134 is provided on the outer side wall of the upper circular ring. The lower circular ring of the bean box door 13 is built into the circular hollow area 142, so that the bean box door 13 can be movably embedded in the bottom cover 14, and the overall structure of the bean box is more compact.

[0038] like Figure 2 , 3 and Figure 6As shown, the limiting ring 12 is a stepped two-layer circular ring structure, the radius of the lower circular ring is the same as the outer diameter of the bottom cover 14, and the first limiting block 122 is arranged on the outer side wall of the lower circular ring, and its size is the same as the second limiting block 141. A slip ring 113 is arranged at the bottom of the bean bin 11, and an annular groove 124 is arranged at the top of the limiting ring 12. The slip ring 113 slides in the annular groove 124, which can avoid friction loss between the bean bin 11 and the limiting ring 12 when the bean bin 11 rotates.

[0039] Further, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the bean bin 11 is provided with an axis hole 114 at the bottom, and the bean box door 13 is provided with a rotating shaft 137, which is inserted into the axis hole 114 and can rotate in the axis hole 114. A protective member 115 is installed above the axis hole 114, so that the protective member 114 is located above the discharge port 11, so as to prevent the user from accidentally inserting his hand into the bean bin 11 and causing a safety accident.

[0040] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the bean box, a plurality of positioning holes 134 are provided on the bottom cover 14, and the fixing columns 112 are adapted to the positioning holes 134, that is, screws are passed through the positioning holes 134 and installed in the fixing columns 112, so that the bottom cover 14 is fixedly installed with the bean bin 11.

[0041] When installing the bean box of this embodiment, first, the bean bin is in a closed state, the second limit block 141 is aligned with the groove 123, and the bean box is placed. At this time, the first limit block 122 is just located in the groove 123; the bean bin 11 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise, and the outlet 132 of the bean box door 13 slowly faces the discharge port 111, and the coffee beans in the bean bin 11 fall into the grinding mechanism from the discharge port 111. When the bean bin 11 is rotated until the fixed column 112 is adjacent to the edge of the annular through hole 131, the discharge port 111 is in a fully open state, and at this time, the first limit block 122 and the second limit block 141 are staggered; the bean bin 11 is rotated counterclockwise or clockwise, and the baffle 133 slowly blocks the discharge port 111. When the sealing plate 133 completely blocks the discharge port 111, the first limit block 122 and the second limit block 141 are aligned up and down, and when disassembling the bean box, it can be directly taken out.

[0042] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0043] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. 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 utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
