It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs. The terms used in the description of the present utility model herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0032] Refer to Figures 1 - 6 , the present utility model discloses a multifunctional beverage preparation device, which includes a machine base 10, a driving member 30, an extraction assembly and a milk foam assembly. A chamber 11 is provided in the machine body. The driving member 30 is installed on the machine body, and a first connecting head 31 is provided on the driving shaft of the driving member 30. When the driving shaft of the driving member 30 rotates, it can drive the first connecting head 31 to rotate.

[0033] The extraction assembly includes an extraction funnel 44 and a water pumping mechanism. The extraction funnel 44 is detachably installed in the chamber 11. Specifically, the water pumping mechanism includes a water pumping housing 41, a pushing member 42 and a water pumping pipe 43. A water pumping chamber is provided in the water pumping housing 41. One end of the water pumping pipe 43 is communicated with the water pumping chamber, and the other end of the water pumping pipe 43 is communicated with the extraction funnel 44. The above-mentioned pushing member 42 is rotatably installed in the water pumping chamber. The pushing member 42 is provided with a second connecting head 421 extending out of the water pumping chamber. After the water pumping housing 41 is installed in the chamber 11, the second connecting head 421 can be detachably connected to the first connecting head 31. A plurality of first water passing holes are provided on the side wall of the above-mentioned extraction funnel 44.

[0034] In addition, the milk foam assembly includes a stirring member 52 and a stirring shaft 51. The stirring shaft 51 is provided with a third connecting head 511. The third connecting head 511 is detachably connected to the second connecting head 421; the stirring member 52 is connected to the outside of the stirring shaft 51.

[0035] Based on the above structure, when using the multifunctional beverage preparation device of the present utility model, when preparing beverages, the extraction assembly or the milk foam assembly can be respectively installed in the chamber 11 of the machine base 10.

[0036] Taking the extraction of coffee beverages as an example,

[0037] First, the water pump housing 41 of the water pump mechanism is installed into the chamber 11 of the base 10, and then the pusher 42 in the water pump housing 41 is connected to the first connector 31 on the base 10 via the second connector 421, and at this time, the driving shaft of the driving member 30 is connected to the pusher 42 in the water pump chamber. Then, the extraction funnel 44 is installed into the chamber 11, and the water pump pipe 43 can be extended into the extraction funnel 44.

[0038] When the extraction operation starts, coffee powder is put into the extraction funnel 44, the driving member 30 is started, and the driving shaft is driven to rotate. The driving shaft can drive the pusher 42 connected to it through the first connector 31 and the second connector 421 to rotate. The pusher 42 can stir the water flow in the pump water cavity, drive the water flow in the pump water cavity to be led out to the extraction funnel 44 through the pump water pipe 43, and the coffee powder in the extraction funnel 44 is brewed and dripped into the chamber 11 through the multiple first water holes to achieve coffee liquid extraction. The driving member 30 continuously drives the pusher 42 to rotate, and the liquid in the pump water cavity can be driven to continuously enter the extraction funnel 44 through the pump water pipe 43 to achieve coffee extraction.

[0039] Of course, after the coffee liquid is extracted, when milk froth needs to be made, the second connector 421 of the water pump mechanism is detached from the first connector 31, and the coffee liquid in the chamber 11 can be discharged first.

[0040] Then the stirring shaft 51 of the milk frothing component can be connected to the first connecting head 31 in the chamber 11 through the third connecting head 511, so that the stirring shaft 51 can be connected to the driving shaft of the driving member 30, so that the driving member 30 can drive the stirring shaft 51 to rotate. When making milk froth, put the heated milk into the chamber 11, the driving member 30 drives the stirring shaft 51 to rotate continuously, and then the stirring member 52 on the stirring shaft 51 can stir the heated milk to achieve the milk frothing action and realize the milk frothing production. The prepared milk froth can be used for the milk froth of coffee drinks, and can also be used to add milk froth to other drinks.

[0041] Thus, in this embodiment, the water pump housing 41 of the water pump mechanism is installed into the chamber 11 of the base 10, and the second connector 421 extending from the bottom of the water pump housing 41 is connected to the first connector 31 on the base 10 extending into the chamber 11, and the driving member 30 drives the pushing member 42 to rotate, thereby realizing the water pumping extraction action. When making milk froth, the water pump mechanism is taken out as a whole, and the stirring shaft 51 of the milk froth component is connected to the first connector 31 with the third connector 511. At this time, the driving member 30 drives the stirring shaft 51 to rotate, thereby realizing the milk froth action. By driving different components to rotate by the same driving member 30, coffee extraction or milk froth making can be realized, so that one object can be used for multiple purposes, and the utilization rate of the driving member 30 is higher.

[0042] Furthermore, the above-mentioned driving member 42 includes a driving shaft and a plurality of blades 422. The plurality of blades 422 are connected to the outer periphery of the driving shaft, and the plurality of blades 422 are spaced apart around the driving shaft. The above-mentioned second connector 421 is connected to the end of the driving shaft. When performing the water pumping action, the driving member 30 drives the driving shaft to rotate. The rotation of the driving shaft can drive the second connector 421 connected thereto through the first connector 31 to rotate. The rotation of the second connector 421 can drive the derivation shaft to rotate. In this way, the plurality of blades 422 can rotate in the water pumping cavity, stir and press out the water flow in the water pumping cavity, and realize the water pumping action.

[0043] Of course, the above-mentioned driving member 42 can also be selected as the structure of the propeller blade 422 in the prior art. In this way, the rotation of the propeller blade 422 can also lead out the water flow in the water pumping cavity.

[0044] Furthermore, a water inlet 412 and a water outlet pipe 411 can be provided on the water pumping housing 41. One end of the water outlet pipe 411 is communicated with the water pumping cavity, and the other end of the water outlet pipe 411 is communicated with the water pumping pipe 43. In this way, when performing the water pumping action, the rotation of the derivation member can lead out the water flow in the water pumping cavity to the water outlet pipe 411, and the water outlet pipe 411 guides the water flow into the water pumping pipe 43 to realize the water pumping action. The length of the water pumping pipe 43 is compensated by the water outlet pipe 411, and the length setting of the water pumping pipe 43 is reduced. Of course, since the water inlet 412 is provided on the water outlet housing, the water pumping cavity can be replenished with water through the water inlet 412.

[0045] More specifically, the above-mentioned water outlet pipe 411 is inclined, and one end of the water outlet pipe 411 is communicated with the side of the water pumping cavity. In this way, the water inlet end of the water outlet pipe 411 is located at the side of the water pumping cavity. When the driving member 42 rotates in the water pumping cavity, the driving member 42 rotates in the middle of the water pumping cavity. Due to the centrifugal force, the water flow is more likely to be pushed out from the side of the water pumping cavity, and the water pumping effect is better. The inclined water outlet pipe 411 can guide the water outlet path from the side edge to the water pumping pipe 43 assembled in the middle. When the water pumping pipe 43 leads out the liquid to the extraction funnel 44, the water flow is also introduced into the middle of the extraction funnel 44. In this way, the water flow falls and contacts the coffee powder in the extraction funnel 44 more fully.

[0046] Further, an extraction cup 45 can be provided outside the water pumping housing 41, and the extraction cup 45 covers the outside of the water pumping housing 41; a plurality of second water passing holes 451 are provided on the extraction cup 45. In this way, when the coffee extraction operation is realized, the extraction liquid drips from the extraction funnel 44 to the bottom end of the chamber 11, and the liquid can enter the inside of the extraction cup 45 through the second water passing holes 451 of the extraction cup 45, and then flow back to the water pumping chamber through the water inlet 412 of the water pumping housing 41. Then, the stirring of the pushing member 42 derives the flowing-back liquid to be led out through the water pumping pipe 43 to the extraction funnel 44, realizing the extraction cycle. In this way, the coffee powder and the water liquid are more fully mixed, and the extraction effect is better.

[0047] The plurality of second water passing holes 451 on the extraction cup 45 can block larger powder blocks or other impurities in the chamber 11 from entering the extraction cup 45, reducing the situation of blockage.

[0048] Further, the water pumping housing 41 in this embodiment includes a water pumping base 414 and a water pumping top cover 413. The water pumping top cover 413 covers the top end of the water pumping base 414 in a detachable manner. In this way, the water pumping chamber is formed between the water pumping top cover 413 and the water pumping base 414. The above-mentioned pushing member 42 is rotatably installed on the water pumping base 414, and the second connector 421 extends out from the bottom end of the water pumping base 414. In this way, the water pumping housing 41 is formed by the mutual encapsulation of the water pumping base 414 and the water pumping top cover 413. When assembling the pushing member 42, the water pumping top cover 413 can be removed first, and then the pushing member 42 is assembled on the water pumping base 414. After that, the water pumping top cover 413 is covered on the water pumping base 414, which is convenient for the disassembly and assembly of the pushing member 42 and also convenient for cleaning the impurities in the water pumping chamber inside the water pumping housing 41.

[0049] Of course, the detachable connection between the water pumping base 414 and the water pumping top cover 413 can be a threaded connection or a snap connection, and after the two are assembled, they can be sealed with a sealing ring.

[0050] When the water pumping base 414 and the water pumping top cover 413 are provided, the above-mentioned water inlet 412 and the water outlet pipe 411 can be arranged on the water pumping top cover 413.

[0051] Further, in order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the extraction funnel 44, a supporting step is provided on the inner wall of the top end of the chamber 11, and a hanging step 441 is correspondingly provided on the outer wall of the top end of the extraction funnel 44. When the extraction funnel 44 is installed, the hanging step 441 can be hung on the supporting step to realize the hanging of the extraction funnel 44, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0052] To improve the assembly stability of the extraction funnel 44, an introduction cup 20 can also be provided at the top of the machine base 10. The bottom end of the introduction cup 20 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the top end of the chamber 11 and abuts against the hanging step 441. That is, after the extraction funnel 44 is installed in the chamber 11, the introduction cup 20 is then installed at the top end of the chamber 11, and the bottom edge of the introduction cup 20 is pressed against the hanging step 441, so that the assembly structure is more stable.

[0053] The setting of the introduction cup 20 can guide or introduce from top to bottom, which is convenient for the liquid to initially rinse the coffee powder in the extraction funnel 44 when being introduced.

[0054] Furthermore, since the pump water pipe 43 is prone to jitter during water pumping, a plurality of support arms 21 extending inwards can be provided on the inner wall of the introduction cup 20. The support arms 21 are gradually inclined inwards from bottom to top; the tops of the plurality of support arms 21 enclose a through-channel for the pump water pipe 43 to extend into. In this way, after the pump water pipe 43 is connected to the extraction funnel 44, it can extend through and into the through-channel formed by the enclosure of the plurality of support arms 21, forming a support on the outer periphery of the pump water pipe 43, reducing the jitter of the pump water pipe 43 during water pumping, and making the water pumping structure stable.

[0055] Furthermore, a spray head 431 is provided at the top end of the pump water pipe 43. In this way, during the water pumping operation, the top end of the pump water pipe 43 can extend into the top of the extraction funnel 44, and the water in the pump water pipe 43 is led out through the spray head 431, realizing water spraying in the extraction funnel 44, making the coffee powder in the extraction funnel 44 contact the water more fully, and having a higher extraction efficiency.

[0056] Furthermore, the stirring member in this embodiment can be a stirring spring coil. The stirring shaft can be driven by a driving member to rotate, and the rotation of the stirring shaft can drive the stirring spring coil to rotate. The multi-turn spaced structure of the stirring spring coil can break and rotate the milk. At the same time, the spring has elasticity and can compress or rebound independently, and can move in the chamber due to its own elasticity, so it is easier to stir the milk evenly and has a higher foaming efficiency. Of course, the above-mentioned stirring member can also be selected as other structures such as a stirring net or a stirring claw in the prior art, and is specifically selected according to actual needs.

[0057] In addition, it should also be noted that the above-mentioned first connector, second connector, and third connector can be realized by using a spline connector that is mutually embedded, or a threaded connector that is mutually matched.

[0058] The technical means disclosed by the solution of the present utility model are not limited to the technical means disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications are also regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
