For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0025] See also Figure 1-5 As shown, as an embodiment of the utility model, a coffee bean box is provided, which is used to be installed on a coffee machine, including a bean box 2 having a bean inlet 5, a bean storage chamber 6, and a bean outlet 7. A box cover 1 is installed at the bean inlet 5, and the bean outlet 7 is located at the bottom end of the bean box 2. A support is provided in the bean storage chamber 6, and a bean locking mechanism is movably provided in the support, and the bean locking mechanism slides downward to block the bean outlet 7 to lock the coffee beans in the bean storage chamber 6. When it is not necessary to grind coffee, the bean locking mechanism slides downward to separate the bean storage chamber 6 and the bean outlet 7 in the coffee bean box, so that the remaining coffee beans can be stored in the bean box 2, and will not flow into the coffee machine through the bean outlet 7. At this time, it is in a bean locking state, which is convenient for taking the remaining coffee beans out of the coffee machine together with the coffee bean box and putting them in the refrigerator for preservation, thereby ensuring the freshness and quality taste of the coffee beans. When it is needed next time, take them out and install them on the coffee machine, slide the bean locking mechanism upward to reconnect the bean storage chamber 6 in the coffee bean box with the bean outlet 7, and then it is in the non-bean locking state, and the coffee bean outlet process can be restored.

[0026] Among them, the support member includes a support portion 9 arranged on the cavity wall of the bean storage chamber 6 and a cylinder portion 8 connected to the support portion 9. A channel 82 is arranged above the cylinder portion 8 corresponding to the bean outlet 7. The bean locking mechanism is movably arranged in the channel 82 of the cylinder portion 8. Specifically, there are three support portions 9, and the three support portions 9 are evenly arranged on the cavity wall of the bean storage chamber 6 along the circumferential direction. The cylinder portion 8 is connected between the three support portions 9. The bean storage chamber 6 includes a cylindrical cavity and a hemispherical cavity connected up and down. The bean outlet 7 corresponds to the bottom center of the hemispherical cavity. This arrangement ensures that the coffee beans in the bean storage chamber 6 are more uniformly and stably discharged, while ensuring the installation stability of the support member and the bean locking mechanism.

[0027] In this embodiment, the bean locking mechanism includes a blocking member and a top cover 12 detachably mounted on the top of the blocking member. The top cover 12 is located above the barrel portion 8, and the blocking member is movably arranged in the channel 82 of the barrel portion 8. This arrangement makes the assembly, disassembly and maintenance of the bean locking mechanism more convenient.

[0028] In this embodiment, an annular stop portion 81 is provided on the inner wall of the cylinder portion 8, and the sealing member is a hollow structure. The sealing member includes an upper column 10 and a lower column 11 located below the upper column 10 and extending with an expanded diameter. An expanded diameter platform 111 is formed at the top of the lower column 11 corresponding to the periphery of the upper column 10, and the annular stop portion 81 cooperates with the expanded diameter platform 111 to block and limit the positions up and down, thereby preventing the bean locking mechanism from slipping upward out of the channel 82.

[0029] In this embodiment, a latching tooth structure 112 is provided at the bottom end of the lower cylinder 11 along the circumferential direction, so as to ensure that the bean locking mechanism can slide downward and rotate left and right at the same time, so that the coffee beans can be orderly moved and diverted to the bean outlet 7 or the bean storage chamber 6, avoiding the problem of jamming and improving the smoothness of the bean locking mechanism sliding downward to lock the beans.

[0030] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the upper cylinder 10 is provided with a guide rib 101, and the inner side of the annular stopper 81 is provided with a guide groove 83, and the guide rib 101 and the guide groove 83 are correspondingly slidably matched. Specifically, the guide rib 101 and the guide groove 83 are two pairs corresponding to each other, and the two guide ribs 101 or the guide groove 83 are relatively arranged. Only when the bean locking mechanism rotates so that the position of the guide rib 101 corresponds to the guide groove 83, can the bean locking mechanism be controlled to move up and down, ensuring the operational controllability of the up and down movement, and when the guide rib 101 slides upward and disengages from the outside of the guide groove 83, the bean locking mechanism can be rotated so that the guide rib 101 and the guide groove 83 are staggered with each other, so that the guide rib 101 is supported on the top of the annular stopper 81, thereby making the bean locking mechanism stable in a high position, ensuring the stable connection between the bean storage chamber 6 and the bean outlet 7, and thus ensuring the stability of the bean outlet operation.

[0031] In this embodiment, a neck seat 3 is provided at the bottom periphery of the bean box 2 , and a bracket 4 is installed between the bean box 2 and the neck seat 3 .

[0032] Although the present invention has been specifically demonstrated and described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes made to the present invention in form and detail, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims, shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
