[0029] The following refers to Figures 1 - 7 Describe a detachable funnel bracket according to some embodiments of the present application.
[0030] The present utility model provides a detachable funnel bracket through the following technical solutions, including a support base 1 and a bracket 2. The support base 1 is arranged on the body below the bean grinding device or the bean grinder of the coffee machine, and the bracket 2 is detachably connected to the support base 1. A brewing funnel for making coffee can be placed on the bracket 2.
[0031] The bracket 2 includes a frame body part 4 and a connecting part 5. A sliding cavity 6 is provided in the connecting part 5. Two symmetric baffles 24 are arranged in the sliding cavity 6. A symmetric positioning sub-cavity 26 is formed between the baffle 24 and the adjacent side wall of the sliding cavity 6. An elastic positioning member 7 is arranged in the positioning sub-cavity 26.
[0032] The elastic positioning member 7 includes a spring 12, a positioning head 8, a spring shaft 13, a limiting ring 14, and a pressing head 15. The spring shaft 13 and the pressing head 15 are respectively located on the two axial sides of the limiting ring 14, and the positioning head 8 is located on one radial side of the limiting ring 14. One end of the spring 12 is sleeved on the spring shaft 13, and the other end abuts against the baffle 24. Under the action of the spring 12, the pressing head 15 extends out from the pressing holes 16 on both sides of the sliding cavity 6, and the positioning head 8 exposed to the sliding cavity 6 also moves synchronously in the sliding groove 17 on the back of the sliding cavity 6 under the action of the spring 12.
[0033] The support 1 includes a supporting portion 3. An L-shaped positioning groove 9 is provided on the supporting portion 3, which includes a vertical section and a horizontal section. The entrance end of the positioning groove 9 is located in the vertical section, and the end is located in the horizontal section. The positioning head 8 can move within the positioning groove 9.
[0034] A second limiting structure is provided between the supporting portion 3 and the connecting portion 5. The second limiting structure includes a plurality of protrusions and sleeves respectively provided on the wall portions of the supporting portion 3 or the connecting portion 5. Among them, a first convex block 18 extending upward is provided at the top of the sliding cavity 6, and a first sleeve 19 extending horizontally is provided at the top of the supporting portion 3 and is matched with the first convex block 18; a second convex block 21 extending downward is provided at the bottom of the supporting portion 3, and a second sleeve 22 extending horizontally is provided at the bottom of the sliding cavity 6 and is matched with the second convex block 21. In addition, a first reinforcing rib 20 is further provided at the top of the sliding cavity 6, and a second reinforcing rib 23 is further provided inside the second sleeve 22.
[0035] When the bracket 2 is installed on the support 1, the bracket 2 is located below the support 1. After aligning the first convex block 18 of the supporting portion 3 with the first sleeve 19, the second sleeve 22 with the second convex block 21, and the positioning head 8 with the entrance of the positioning groove 9 respectively, the bracket 2 is pushed upward until the first convex block 18 and the first sleeve 19, the second sleeve 22 and the second convex block 21 are completely sleeved, and the positioning head 8 enters the positioning groove 9 and is pushed to the end of the horizontal section of the positioning groove 9 under the action of the spring 12. In this way, through the combined limiting action of the first convex block 18 and the first sleeve 19, the second sleeve 22 and the second convex block 21, and the positioning head 8 and the positioning groove 9, the installation connection of the bracket 2 on the support 1 is realized.

The positioning head 8 moves out of the entrance of the positioning groove 9, and then the bracket 2 can be removed from the support 1.
[0037] Since the support 1 only has a simple fixed limit structure, cleaning can be conveniently completed after the bracket 2 is removed. For complex parts such as the elastic positioning member 7, they can be cleaned with special cleaning tools or means along with the removed bracket 2, avoiding the problems of inconvenient cleaning and poor cleaning effect caused by the restriction of the machine body.
[0038] The frame part 4 of the bracket 2 includes an arc-shaped bracket 10 and a back plate 11. The arc-shaped bracket 10 matches the shape of the brewing funnel, enabling the stable placement of the brewing funnel.
[0039] A microswitch cavity 27 is formed between two baffles 24. A microswitch is provided in the microswitch cavity 27. The button 25 of the microswitch can pass through the back plate 11 of the frame part 4 and extend into the arc-shaped bracket 10, thereby realizing the linkage control of the placement state of the brewing funnel and the operation of the whole machine.
[0040] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
