[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a beverage machine and a drip coffee machine with a rotatable dripper.

[0005] The utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A beverage dispenser with a rotatable dripper, comprising:

[0007] body;

[0008] A dripper, the dripper is rotatably arranged on the body around its own vertical center line, the dripper has a brewing cavity and a feed port, the brewing cavity is connected to the feed port, the feed port is located on the top of the brewing cavity, and the feed port is used to communicate with the water outlet of the brewer;

[0009] A driving mechanism, wherein the driving mechanism is arranged on the body, the driving mechanism is located outside the dripper, the driving mechanism is connected to the dripper, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the dripper to rotate.

[0010] For the beverage machine of the present utility model, by rotatably arranging a drip device on the machine body, and at the same time configuring a driving mechanism on the machine body, the driving mechanism can drive the drip device to rotate around its own vertical center line. During the brewing process, the water outlet of the brewer outputs a water solution to the feed port. At the same time, the driving mechanism is used to drive the drip device to rotate around its own vertical center line to change the position of the brewing chamber relative to the water outlet of the brewer, so that the water solution output by the brewer can be evenly sprayed to various positions in the brewing chamber, enabling the powder materials such as coffee powder in the brewing chamber to be fully mixed with the evenly sprayed water solution, realizing uniform brewing and sufficient extraction of the powder materials such as coffee powder, and making the taste of the brewed coffee solution good. Among them, since the driving mechanism is located outside the drip device, it does not occupy the space of the brewing chamber and does not reduce the capacity of the brewing chamber, enabling the drip device to brew beverages such as coffee solution with a capacity similar to that of the brewing chamber, improving the brewing efficiency.

[0011] In one embodiment, the driving mechanism includes:

[0012] A motor, the motor is arranged on the machine body, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the drip device to drive the drip device to rotate. In this way, driving the motor can realize driving the drip device to rotate. The structure of this motor is simple and the cost is low, which is beneficial to reducing the cost of the beverage machine. At the same time, the installation operation of this motor is simple and can improve the installation efficiency.

[0013] In one embodiment, the motor and the drip device are arranged in sequence along the transverse direction of the machine body;

[0014] The driving mechanism further includes:

[0015] An eccentric wheel, the eccentric wheel is connected to the output shaft of the motor so that the eccentric wheel rotates with the output shaft of the motor. The eccentric wheel is provided with an eccentric connecting portion, and the eccentric connecting portion is spaced from the rotation center line of the eccentric wheel;

[0016] And a connecting member, the first end of the connecting member is connected to the eccentric connecting portion, the second end of the connecting member is connected to the drip device, and the connecting member has a guiding groove;

[0017] The fuselage is provided with a guiding part, which is movably inserted into the guiding groove to guide the drip device to rotate around its own vertical center line. In this way, through the driving motor, the eccentric wheel rotates following the output shaft of the motor, and the connecting piece rotates following the eccentric wheel. At the same time, the guiding groove and the guiding part are movably matched to guide the connecting piece to rotate around the vertical center line of the drip device, thereby driving the drip device connected to the connecting piece to rotate around its own vertical center line. Among them, based on the arrangement of the motor and the drip device in sequence along the transverse direction of the fuselage, the motor, the eccentric wheel and the connecting piece all avoid the feeding port or the discharging port of the drip device, avoiding affecting the feeding and discharging efficiency. At the same time, it can also improve the space utilization rate in the transverse direction of the fuselage, avoiding the increase of the height dimension of the fuselage due to the sequential arrangement of the motor and the drip device along the vertical direction of the fuselage, which is more conducive to the miniaturization and compact setting of the beverage machine.

[0018] In one embodiment, the eccentric connecting part has a first connecting hole, and a connecting protrusion is provided at the first end of the connecting piece. The connecting protrusion is matched with the first connecting hole to connect the first end of the connecting piece with the eccentric connecting part, so that the connecting piece can rotate following the eccentric wheel. The connecting structure composed of the first connecting hole and the connecting protrusion is simple and practical, the installation operation is simple, and the installation efficiency is high.

[0019] In one embodiment, the second end of the connecting piece has a second connecting hole, and the second connecting hole penetrates through the connecting piece both vertically and horizontally. The second connecting hole is matched with the outer side wall of the drip device to connect the second end of the connecting piece with the drip device. In this way, by inserting the drip device into the second connecting hole, the drip device can be connected to the connecting piece. The installation operation is simple and the installation efficiency is high. Among them, based on the cooperation between the second connecting hole and the outer side wall of the drip device, the second connecting hole is arranged around the outer side wall of the drip device, which can increase the contact area between the connecting piece and the drip device, making the rotation of the drip device more stable and smooth.

[0020] In one embodiment, the second connecting hole has a first connecting section and a second connecting section. The first connecting section and the second connecting section are arranged in sequence from top to bottom along the second connecting hole, and the inner diameter of the first connecting section is larger than the inner diameter of the second connecting section;

[0021] The cross-sectional shape of the lower part of the drip device is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the second connecting hole to connect the drip device with the connecting piece. Based on the arrangement of the first connecting section and the second connecting section in sequence from top to bottom along the second connecting hole and the inner diameter of the first connecting section being larger than the inner diameter of the second connecting section, a limiting and supporting structure is formed between the first connecting section and the second connecting section. When the lower part of the drip device is inserted into the second connecting hole from top to bottom, the limiting and supporting structure can be used to support the drip device, so that the drip device is stably installed on the connecting piece, and the structural reliability is higher.

[0022] In one embodiment, the fuselage has an installation cavity and an avoidance opening. The installation cavity houses the motor, the eccentric wheel, and the connecting member. The avoidance opening is located at the bottom of the installation cavity and communicates with the installation cavity. The bottom of the drip device is exposed outside the fuselage through the avoidance opening. In this way, the motor, the eccentric wheel, and the connecting member can be installed in the installation cavity, so that the motor, the eccentric wheel, and the connecting member can be hidden inside the fuselage, simplifying the external structure of the fuselage, improving the aesthetic appearance of the beverage machine, and at the same time, preventing the motor, the eccentric wheel, and the connecting member from accumulating dust and improving the cleaning efficiency of the beverage machine. In addition, the setting of the avoidance opening can expose the bottom of the drip device outside the fuselage, avoiding blocking the liquid outlet located at the bottom of the drip device and ensuring liquid discharge.

[0023] In one embodiment, the bottom of the drip device has a liquid outlet that communicates with the brewing cavity. The drip device is provided with a leak-proof valve, and the leak-proof valve is used to close or open the liquid outlet.

[0024] The beverage machine with a rotatable drip device further includes:

[0025] A sensor disposed on the fuselage for detecting whether there is a beverage carrier container below the liquid outlet.

[0026] A controller disposed on the fuselage. The controller is electrically connected to the leak-proof valve and the sensor. The controller is used to control the leak-proof valve to open the liquid outlet according to the first feedback information of the sensor, and the controller is also used to control the leak-proof valve to close the liquid outlet according to the second feedback information of the sensor. In this way, when the beverage carrier container is placed below the liquid outlet of the drip device, the sensor detects that there is a beverage carrier container below the liquid outlet, the controller receives the first feedback information fed back by the sensor, and the controller controls the drip device to open the liquid outlet, so that liquids such as coffee liquid output from the liquid outlet can drip into the beverage carrier container. When the beverage carrier container is moved away from below the liquid outlet of the drip device, the sensor detects that there is no beverage carrier container below the liquid outlet, the controller receives the second feedback information fed back by the sensor, and the controller controls the drip device to close the liquid outlet, which can realize automatic opening and closing of the liquid outlet. Compared with the prior art structure in which the leak-proof valve is pushed open by the beverage carrier container, it will not be affected by the height dimension of the beverage carrier container, resulting in the leak-proof valve having too large an opening, not being able to open, or having too small an opening, ensuring smooth liquid discharge. At the same time, it can also avoid the problem of powder materials such as coffee powder leaking through the feed port due to too small an opening of the leak-proof valve, that is, it can avoid the problem of powder overflow.

[0027] In one embodiment, the fuselage is provided with a supporting seat, the supporting seat is located below the drip device, and the supporting seat is used for supporting the beverage liquid container;

[0028] The sensor is a microswitch, and the microswitch is arranged on the top surface of the supporting seat. When the beverage liquid container is placed on the top surface of the supporting seat, the microswitch is pressed by the beverage liquid container and turned on, so that the controller receives the first feedback information; when the beverage liquid container is removed from the supporting seat, the microswitch is turned off, so that the controller receives the second feedback information. In this way, when the beverage liquid container is placed on the top surface of the supporting seat, the action reed of the microswitch is pressed by the beverage liquid container to trigger the microswitch, so that the fixed contact and the moving contact of the microswitch are quickly connected, so that the controller can receive the first feedback information and control the electromagnet in the anti-leakage valve to be energized, so that the electromagnet pushes the valve in the anti-leakage valve to open the discharge port, so as to realize opening the discharge port of the anti-leakage valve. When the beverage liquid container is removed from the supporting seat, the action reed of the microswitch resets, so that the fixed contact and the moving contact of the microswitch are quickly disconnected, so that the controller can receive the second feedback information and control the electromagnet in the anti-leakage valve to be de-energized, and the valve in the anti-leakage valve resets to close the discharge port, so as to realize closing the discharge port of the anti-leakage valve. The structure of the microswitch is simple and practical, with high sensitivity and can improve the structural reliability.

[0031] The beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0032] The beverage machine of the present utility model rotatably arranges a drip device on the machine body, and at the same time, a driving mechanism is configured on the machine body. The driving mechanism can drive the drip device to enable the drip device to rotate around its own vertical center line. During the brewing process, the water outlet of the brewer outputs a liquid to the feed port. At the same time, the driving mechanism is used to drive the drip device to rotate around its own vertical center line to change the position of the brewing chamber relative to the water outlet of the brewer, so that the liquid output by the brewer can be evenly sprayed to each position in the brewing chamber, enabling the powder such as coffee powder in the brewing chamber to be fully mixed with the evenly sprayed liquid, realizing uniform brewing and sufficient extraction of the powder such as coffee powder, and making the taste of the brewed coffee liquid good. Among them, since the driving mechanism is located outside the drip device, it does not occupy the space of the brewing chamber and does not reduce the capacity of the brewing chamber, enabling the drip device to brew beverages such as coffee liquid with a capacity similar to that of the brewing chamber, improving the brewing efficiency.

[0042] A body 1;

[0043] A drip device 2, which is rotatably arranged on the body 1 around its own vertical center line. The drip device 2 has a brewing chamber 21 and a feed port 22. The brewing chamber 21 communicates with the feed port 22. The feed port 22 is located on the top of the brewing chamber 21 and is used to communicate with the water outlet of the brewer;

[0044] A driving mechanism 3, which is arranged on the body 1, is located outside the drip device 2, and is connected to the drip device 2. The driving mechanism 3 is used to drive the drip device 2 to rotate.

[0045] In the beverage machine of the present invention, by rotatably arranging the drip device 2 on the body 1 and configuring a driving mechanism 3 on the body 1 at the same time, the driving mechanism 3 can drive the drip device 2 to enable the drip device 2 to rotate around its own vertical center line. During the brewing process, the water outlet of the brewer outputs a liquid to the feed port 22. At the same time, the driving mechanism 3 is used to drive the drip device 2 to rotate around its own vertical center line to change the position of the brewing chamber 21 relative to the water outlet of the brewer, so that the liquid output by the brewer can be evenly sprayed to various positions in the brewing chamber 21, enabling the powder materials such as coffee powder in the brewing chamber 21 to be fully mixed with the evenly sprayed liquid, realizing uniform brewing and sufficient extraction of the powder materials such as coffee powder, and making the taste of the brewed coffee liquid good. Among them, since the driving mechanism 3 is located outside the drip device 2, it does not occupy the space of the brewing chamber 21 and does not reduce the capacity of the brewing chamber 21, enabling the drip device 2 to brew beverages such as coffee liquid with a capacity similar to that of the brewing chamber 21, and improving the brewing efficiency.

[0046] See Figure 3 , in one embodiment, the driving mechanism 3 includes:

[0047] A motor 31, which is arranged on the body 1. The output shaft 311 of the motor 31 is connected to the drip device 2 to drive the drip device 2 to rotate. In this way, driving the motor 31 can realize driving the drip device 2 to rotate. The structure of this motor 31 is simple and the cost is low, which is beneficial to reducing the cost of the beverage machine. At the same time, the installation operation of this motor 31 is simple, which can improve the installation efficiency.

[0048] See Figure 3 , in one embodiment, the motor 31 and the drip device 2 are arranged in sequence along the transverse direction of the fuselage 1;

[0049] The driving mechanism 3 further includes:

[0050] An eccentric wheel 32, the eccentric wheel 32 is connected to the output shaft 311 of the motor 31, so that the eccentric wheel 32 rotates with the output shaft 311 of the motor 31. The eccentric wheel 32 is provided with an eccentric connecting portion 321, and the eccentric connecting portion 321 is spaced from the rotation center line of the eccentric wheel 32;

[0051] And a connecting member 33, the first end of the connecting member 33 is connected to the eccentric connecting portion 321, the second end of the connecting member 33 is connected to the drip device 2, and the connecting member 33 has a guiding groove 331;

[0052] The fuselage 1 is provided with a guiding portion 11, and the guiding portion 11 is movably inserted into the guiding groove 331 to guide the drip device 2 to rotate around its own vertical center line. Thus, by driving the motor 31, the eccentric wheel 32 rotates with the output shaft 311 of the motor 31, and the connecting member 33 rotates with the eccentric wheel 32. At the same time, the guiding groove 331 and the guiding portion 11 are movably matched to guide the connecting member 33 to rotate around the vertical center line of the drip device 2, thereby driving the drip device 2 connected to the connecting member 33 to rotate around its own vertical center line. Among them, based on the arrangement of the motor 31 and the drip device 2 in sequence along the transverse direction of the fuselage 1, the motor 31, the eccentric wheel 32 and the connecting member 33 all avoid the feeding port 22 or the discharging port 23 of the drip device 2, avoiding affecting the feeding and discharging efficiency. At the same time, it can also improve the space utilization rate in the transverse direction of the fuselage 1, avoiding the increase of the height dimension of the fuselage 1 due to the sequential arrangement of the motor 31 and the drip device 2 along the vertical direction of the fuselage 1, which is more conducive to the miniaturization and compactness of the beverage machine.

[0053] In other embodiments, when the driving mechanism 3 only includes the motor 31, the motor 31 can be arranged above the drip device 2 or below the drip device 2.

[0054] See Figure 3 , in one embodiment, the eccentric wheel 32 has a central hole, the central hole is for the output shaft 311 of the motor 31 to be inserted, and the central hole is fixedly connected to the output shaft 311 of the motor 31, so that the eccentric wheel 32 can rotate with the output shaft 311 of the motor 31.

[0055] In one embodiment, the eccentric wheel 32 further has a keyway located on the inner wall of the central hole. A key is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the output shaft 311 of the motor 31, and the key cooperates with the keyway to limit the relative rotation of the eccentric wheel 32 with respect to the output shaft 311 of the motor 31, ensuring that the eccentric wheel 32 can rotate with the output shaft 311 of the motor 31, and the structural reliability is higher.

[0056] In other embodiments, the output shaft 311 of the motor 31 is in interference fit with the central hole of the eccentric wheel 32, and the end of the output shaft 311 of the motor 31 away from the motor 31 body is located outside the central hole of the eccentric wheel 32. A locking nut is screwed on the end of the output shaft 311 of the motor 31, and the locking nut abuts against the side of the eccentric wheel 32 facing away from the motor 31 body. In this way, it is also possible to reliably fix the eccentric wheel 32 and the output shaft 311 of the motor 31 together.

[0057] See Figure 3 , in one embodiment, the eccentric connecting portion 321 has a first connection hole, and a connection protrusion 332 is provided at the first end of the connecting member 33. The connection protrusion 332 cooperates with the first connection hole to connect the first end of the connecting member 33 to the eccentric connecting portion 321, thereby connecting the connecting member 33 to the eccentric wheel 32 and enabling the connecting member 33 to rotate with the eccentric wheel 32. The connection structure composed of the first connection hole and the connection protrusion 332 is simple and practical, the installation operation is simple, and the installation efficiency is high.

[0058] In other embodiments, the eccentric connecting portion 321 is provided with a connection protrusion 332, and the connecting member 33 has a first connection hole. In this way, it is also possible to connect the connecting member 33 to the eccentric wheel 32.

[0059] See Figure 3 , in one embodiment, the second end of the connecting member 33 has a second connection hole 333 that penetrates the connecting member 33 vertically. The second connection hole 333 cooperates with the outer side wall of the drip tray 2 to connect the second end of the connecting member 33 to the drip tray 2. In this way, by inserting the drip tray 2 into the second connection hole 333, it is possible to connect the drip tray 2 to the connecting member 33. The installation operation is simple and the installation efficiency is high. Among them, based on the cooperation between the second connection hole 333 and the outer side wall of the drip tray 2, the second connection hole 333 is arranged around the outer side wall of the drip tray 2, which can increase the contact area between the connecting member 33 and the drip tray 2 and make the drip tray 2 rotate more stably and smoothly.

[0060] See Figure 3 , in one embodiment, the second connection hole 333 has a first connection section and a second connection section. The first connection section and the second connection section are arranged in sequence from top to bottom along the second connection hole 333, and the inner diameter of the first connection section is larger than the inner diameter of the second connection section;

[0061] The cross-sectional shape of the lower part of the drip device 2 is the same as that of the second connection hole 333 to connect the drip device 2 to the connection member 33. Based on the fact that the first connection section and the second connection section are arranged in sequence from top to bottom along the second connection hole 333 and the inner diameter of the first connection section is larger than that of the second connection section, a limiting and supporting structure is formed between the first connection section and the second connection section.

[0062] See Figure 3 , in one embodiment, the body 1 has an installation cavity 12 and an avoidance opening. The installation cavity 12 houses the motor 31, the eccentric wheel 32 and the connection member 33. The avoidance opening is located at the bottom of the installation cavity 12 and communicates with the installation cavity 12. The bottom of the drip device 2 is exposed outside the body 1 through the avoidance opening. In this way, the motor 31, the eccentric wheel 32 and the connection member 33 can be installed in the installation cavity 12, and the motor 31, the eccentric wheel 32 and the connection member 33 can be hidden inside the body 1, so as to simplify the external structure of the body 1, improve the appearance beauty of the beverage machine, at the same time, prevent the motor 31, the eccentric wheel 32 and the connection member 33 from accumulating dust, and improve the cleaning efficiency of the beverage machine. In addition, the setting of the avoidance opening can expose the bottom of the drip device 2 outside the body 1, avoid blocking the liquid discharge port 23 located at the bottom of the drip device 2, and ensure liquid discharge.

[0063] See Figures 4 - 5 , in one embodiment, the bottom of the drip device 2 has a liquid discharge port 23, the liquid discharge port 23 communicates with the brewing cavity 21, and the drip device 2 is provided with a leak-proof valve 24, and the leak-proof valve 24 is used to close or open the liquid discharge port 23;

[0064] See Figure 1 , the beverage machine with a rotatable drip device of the present invention further includes:

[0065] A sensor 4, the sensor 4 is arranged on the body 1, and the sensor 4 is used to detect whether there is a beverage carrier container 6 below the liquid discharge port 23;

[0066] A controller 5 is provided on the body 1. The controller 5 is electrically connected to the leak-stop valve 24 and the sensor 4. The controller 5 is configured to control the leak-stop valve 24 to open the discharge port 23 according to the first feedback information of the sensor 4. The controller 5 is further configured to control the leak-stop valve 24 to close the discharge port 23 according to the second feedback information of the sensor 4. In this way, when the beverage carrier container 6 is placed below the discharge port 23 of the drip device 2, the sensor 4 detects that there is a beverage carrier container 6 below the discharge port 23. The controller 5 receives the first feedback information fed back by the sensor 4, and the controller 5 controls the drip device 2 to open the discharge port 23, so that liquids such as coffee liquid output from the discharge port 23 can drip into the beverage carrier container 6. When the beverage carrier container 6 is moved away from below the discharge port 23 of the drip device 2, the sensor 4 detects that there is no beverage carrier container 6 below the discharge port 23. The controller 5 receives the second feedback information fed back by the sensor 4, and the controller 5 controls the drip device 2 to close the discharge port 23, which can realize the automatic opening and closing of the discharge port 23. Compared with the prior art structure in which the beverage carrier container 6 pushes open the leak-stop valve 24, it will not be affected by the height dimension of the beverage carrier container 6, resulting in an excessive opening degree, inability to open, or too small opening degree of the leak-stop valve 24, ensuring smooth liquid discharge. At the same time, it can also avoid the problem of powder such as coffee powder leaking out through the feed port 22 due to too small an opening degree of the leak-stop valve 24, that is, it can avoid the problem of powder overflow.

[0067] See Figures 1 - 2 , in an embodiment, the body 1 is provided with a support seat 13. The support seat 13 is located below the drip device 2. The support seat 13 is used to support the beverage carrier container 6;

[0068] The sensor 4 is a microswitch, which is arranged on the top surface of the supporting seat 13. When the beverage liquid container 6 is placed on the top surface of the supporting seat 13, the microswitch is pressed by the beverage liquid container 6 and turned on, so that the controller 5 receives the first feedback information; when the beverage liquid container 6 is moved away from the supporting seat 13, the microswitch is turned off, so that the controller 5 receives the second feedback information. In this way, when the beverage liquid container 6 is placed on the top surface of the supporting seat 13, the action reed of the microswitch pressed by the beverage liquid container 6 can trigger the microswitch, so that the fixed contact and the moving contact of the microswitch are quickly connected, so that the controller 5 can receive the first feedback information and control the electromagnet 242 in the anti-drip valve 24 to be energized, so that the electromagnet 242 pushes the valve 241 in the anti-drip valve 24 to open the discharge port 23, so as to realize opening the discharge port 23 of the anti-drip valve 24. When the beverage liquid container 6 is moved away from the supporting seat 13, the action reed of the microswitch resets, so that the fixed contact and the moving contact of the microswitch are quickly disconnected, so that the controller 5 can receive the second feedback information and control the electromagnet 242 in the anti-drip valve 24 to be de-energized, and the valve 241 in the anti-drip valve 24 resets to close the discharge port 23, so as to realize closing the discharge port 23 of the anti-drip valve 24. The structure of the microswitch is simple and practical, with high sensitivity, and can improve the structural reliability.

[0069] Of course, in other embodiments, the sensor 4 can also be other applicable contact sensors, or can be induction devices such as an infrared detection device and a camera.
