[0001] The utility model relates to the field of coffee machines, in particular to a condenser and a condensation system in a coffee machine. Background Art

[0002] The coffee machine will generate a lot of steam during the coffee making process, and this steam needs to be condensed after work. Ordinary coffee machines on the market usually use condensation boxes to condense steam. Traditional condensation boxes are generally composed of a box body and a box cover, which are assembled by screws or ultrasonic welding, and a sealing ring is used in the middle to ensure the sealing effect. However, this design has some defects:

[0003] Complex manufacturing: The assembly process of the condensation box is relatively complicated and requires screw fixation or ultrasonic welding, which not only increases the manufacturing cost but also prolongs the production time.

[0004] Poor sealing: Although the sealing ring can play a certain sealing role, during long-term use, due to aging or improper installation of the sealing ring, there may be a risk of leakage, affecting the normal operation of the equipment.

[0006] In order to overcome the above defects, it is very necessary to provide a coffee machine condenser and condensation system with simple structure, low manufacturing cost, good sealing performance and easy maintenance. Based on this demand, the utility model proposes a new type of condenser and condensation system in a coffee machine to solve the problems in the prior art and improve the use efficiency and user experience of the coffee machine.

The steam generated when making coffee in the coffee machine enters the condenser through the inlet 205 of the hose 200, is decelerated when passing through the spiral flow channel 101 of the condensing core rod 100, and the droplets condense into liquid water, and flow out from the outlet 206 of the hose 200 after passing through the first bending portion 202 and the second bending portion 203.

[0035] The utility model adopts a condensing core rod with a spiral flow channel inserted into a hose to form a condenser. Although this structure has limited steam processing capacity and cannot be used in situations where a large flow of steam is required, it is completely sufficient for the steam condensation of a coffee machine. It does not require screw tightening or ultrasonic welding, and does not require the use of sealing rings, thereby greatly reducing the risk of water leakage and manufacturing costs.

A first internal thread column 25 is arranged outside the first pressure relief pipe 23, and a second internal thread column 26 is arranged outside the second pressure relief pipe 24. After assembly, the first pressure relief pipe 23 of the inlet component 2 is assembled into the first semicircular flange 15, and the second pressure relief pipe 24 is assembled into the second semicircular flange 16 of the outlet component 1, and the outlet component 1 and the inlet component 2 are fixedly assembled together by passing through the first bolt assembly hole 17 and the second bolt assembly hole 18 and fastening the bolts in the first internal thread column 25 and the second internal thread column 26. A first one-way valve is arranged inside the first pressure relief pipe 23, and the first one-way valve includes a first valve head 3 and a first spring 4, and the first spring 4 is installed on the first guide column 13, and the first valve head 3 faces the first inlet 21.
