The second connection hole 3112 is arranged around the first connection hole 3111, and the second connection hole 3112 and the second connection part 1122 can be rotatably matched. In this way, during installation, by making the first connection hole 3111 match with the first connection part 1121 and the second connection hole 3112 match with the second connection part 1122, and then installing the cover body 12 on the main body 11, it is ensured that the dripper 3 can rotate relative to the fuselage 1. At the same time, the cover body 12 and the main body 11 can also be used to limit the dripper 3 from moving up and down, so that the dripper 3 can be reliably installed on the fuselage 1, and the installation operation is simple and convenient.

[0074] See also Figure 7 , in one embodiment, the main body 11 has a first discharge port 1231;

[0075] The dripper 3 has a feed port 321, and when the first positioning portion 1123 and the second positioning portion cooperate, the feed port 321 is aligned with the first discharge port 1231, so that the feed port 321 is connected to the first discharge port 1231. That is, the feed port 321 and the first discharge port 1231 are positioned by the cooperation of the first positioning portion 1123 and the second positioning portion, ensuring that the feed port 321 can be connected to the first discharge port 1231, so that materials such as water and coffee powder outputted from the body 1 can be transported into the dripper 3 through the feed port 321.

[0076] To reduce the difficulty of processing, see Figure 1-Figure 4 as well as Fig.10 In one embodiment, the main body 11 includes:

[0077] Base 111;

[0078] The water tank 112 is disposed on the base 111. The water tank 112 has a water containing chamber 1124. The water containing chamber 1124 can be connected to the first discharge port 1231 so as to transport the water in the water containing chamber 1124 to the first discharge port 1231. A first connecting portion 1121, a second connecting portion 1122 and a first positioning portion 1123 are provided on the top of the water tank 112.

[0079] To reduce the difficulty of processing and facilitate installation, see Figure 1-Figure 4 as well as Fig.10 In one embodiment, the cover 12 includes:

[0080] A bottom cover 121, which is disposed above the dripper 3, is connected to the water tank 112, and the sensor 2 and the toggle member 4 are both disposed on the bottom cover 121;

[0081] The top cover 122 is buckled on the bottom cover 121 , and covers the top opening of the bottom cover 121 , so as to encapsulate the upper ends of the sensor 2 and the toggle member 4 in the bottom cover 121 .

[0082] To reduce the difficulty of processing and facilitate installation, see Figure 4 In one embodiment, the cover 12 further comprises:

[0083] The shower head 123 is disposed in the bottom cover 121 . The shower head 123 has a plurality of the first discharge ports 1231 . The first discharge ports 1231 are located above the feed port 321 .

[0084] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 , Figure 7-Figure 10 In one embodiment, the dripper 3 comprises:

[0085] A connecting base 31, the connecting base 31 is rotatably arranged on the body 1, so that the dripper 3 is rotatably arranged on the body 1;

[0086] The funnel 32 is disposed on the connecting base 31 . The funnel 32 has a cavity 322 and a second discharge port 323 . The cavity 322 is connected to the feed port 321 . The second discharge port 323 is located on the bottom wall of the cavity 322 . The second discharge port 323 is connected to the cavity 322 .

[0087] The drip valve 33 is movably disposed on the funnel 32, and is provided with a valve 331. The valve 331 is located in the cavity 322, and the outer diameter of the valve 331 is larger than the diameter of the second discharge port 323. The valve 331 has a third position separated from the second discharge port 323, and the valve 331 also has a fourth position that cooperates with the bottom wall of the cavity 322 to close the second discharge port 323. The valve 331 switches between the third position and the fourth position as the drip valve 33 moves;

[0088] The control member 34 is rotatably disposed on the connection base 31. The control member 34 is connected to the drip valve 33. The control member 34 rotates to drive the drip valve 33 to move up and down. In this way, when the drip valve 33 is driven to move upward by turning the control member 34, the valve 331 moves in a direction away from the bottom wall of the cavity 322 as the drip valve 33 moves upward, so that the distance between the valve 331 and the second discharge port 323 is increased, thereby increasing the opening of the second discharge port 323, so that the fluid in the cavity 322 can flow out quickly through the second discharge port 323. In the case where the fluid is coffee liquid, the residence time of the coffee liquid in the cavity 322 can be shortened, and the soaking time of the coffee liquid in the cavity 322 can be shortened, thereby playing a role in reducing the concentration of the coffee liquid. When the drip valve 33 is driven to move downward by turning the control member 34, the valve 331 moves with the drip valve 33. The drip valve 33 moves downward and moves towards the bottom wall of the cavity 322, so that the distance between the valve 331 and the second discharge port 323 is shortened, thereby reducing the opening of the second discharge port 323, so that the fluid in the cavity 322 can flow out at a low speed through the second discharge port 323. When the fluid is coffee liquid, the residence time of the coffee liquid in the cavity 322 can be extended, and the coffee liquid can be soaked for a longer time, thereby increasing the concentration of the coffee liquid. The opening size of the second discharge port 323 can be adjusted by cooperating with the drip valve 33 and the dripper 3 as well as the operating member 34 and the drip valve 33, so that the concentration of the coffee liquid can be adjusted. The structure is simple and practical, the cost is low, and the operation is convenient.

[0089] In one embodiment, the valve 331 is specifically a sealing gasket, which abuts against the bottom wall of the cavity 322 to seal the gap between the two, thereby preventing water from leaking out and providing higher structural reliability.

[0090] See also Figure 8 , Fig.14 as well as Fig.15 , in one embodiment, the drip valve 33 is provided with a second guide portion 332;

[0091] The control member 34 is provided with a guiding slope 3411, which can slidably cooperate with the second guiding portion 332 to guide the drip valve 33 to move up and down, ensuring that the drip valve 33 can move up and down, and can also make the drip valve 33 move up and down more smoothly, and the operation feel is better.

[0092] See also Figure 8 , Fig.14 as well as Fig.15 In one embodiment, one of the connecting base 31 and the operating member 34 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 3412, and the plurality of positioning grooves 3412 are arranged at intervals around the rotation center line of the operating member 34, and the other is provided with a positioning column 3125, and the positioning column 3125 cooperates with any one of the positioning grooves 3412 to reliably restrict the dripper 3 to the third station or the fourth station, so as to prevent the drip valve 33 from arbitrarily leaving the third station or the fourth station, thereby achieving the second discharge port 323 being reliably maintained at the required opening size, and the structural reliability is higher.

[0093] See also Figure 8 , Fig.14 as well as Fig.15 In one embodiment, the dripper 3 further comprises:

[0094] The elastic member 35 has an upper end connected to the bottom of the funnel 32, and a lower end connected to the drip valve 33. The elastic member 35 is used to provide a driving force to the drip valve 33 so as to push the drip valve 33 to move upward. In this way, when the drip valve 33 moves downward, the elastic member 35 is compressed and accumulates potential energy, and when the drip valve 33 moves upward, the elastic member 35 is reset and releases the potential energy, thereby providing a driving force to the drip valve 33, pushing the drip valve 33 to move upward, and making the drip valve 33 move upward more smoothly and labor-saving.

[0095] In one embodiment, the elastic member 35 is a spring, which is sleeved on the first mounting portion 333 on the drip valve 33. The upper end of the spring is against the bottom of the funnel 32, and the lower end of the spring is against the drip valve 33.
