The refrigeration block 3 is provided with a dripping channel 35 and a cold air channel 36. The dripping channel 35 faces the brewing head 2. The dripping channel 35 is used to drip the melted ice water or normal temperature liquid water flowing out of the brewing head 2 into the coffee cup 4.

[0045] The cold air injected by the refrigeration component 7 into the cold storage chamber 12 can enter the cold air channel 36 to cool the ice water or normal temperature liquid water entering the dripping channel 35. The cooled ice water or normal temperature water drips into the coffee funnel, so as to make ice drip coffee.

[0046] The ice drip coffee machine of this embodiment can also use normal temperature liquid water to make ice drip coffee. By setting the refrigeration block 3 at the bottom of the brewing head 2, the refrigeration block 3 is provided with a dripping channel 35 and a cold air channel 36. The liquid normal temperature water contained in the brewing box 6 enters the dripping channel 35 and can be quickly cooled through heat exchange with the cold air flowing in the cold air channel 36, so as to form ice water droplets falling into the coffee cup 4. This ice drip coffee machine can realize ice drip coffee with or without ice, improving the user experience.

[0047] As Figure 2As shown in the figure, the brewing head 2 of this embodiment mainly includes a brewing head main body 23, a brewing head connecting piece 21, and a knob assembly 20. The brewing head main body 23 is arranged on the top wall of the cold storage bin 12. There is a brewing channel inside the brewing head main body 23. Both ends of the brewing channel penetrate through to the bottom end and the top end of the brewing head main body 23 respectively to form a lower water outlet and an upper water inlet. The upper water inlet is communicated with the water outlet end at the bottom of the brewing box 6 through the brewing head connecting piece 21 and the sealing ring 22. The lower water outlet faces the coffee cup 4, so that the ice water or normal temperature water formed by the melting of the ice cubes in the brewing box 6 is sprayed into the coffee cup 4 through the brewing head main body 23 to brew the coffee powder in the coffee cup 4.

[0048] Further, a knob assembly 20 is connected to the peripheral side of the brewing head main body 23. The knob assembly 20 extends into the brewing channel inside the brewing head main body 23. By rotating the knob assembly 20, the effective flow aperture of the brewing channel can be changed, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the ice water in the brewing channel.

[0049] As Figures 4 to 6 shown, in some embodiments, the dripping channel 35 is a vertical channel that penetrates through the upper and lower ends of the refrigeration block 3. The top inlet of the dripping channel 35 is connected to the water outlet of the brewing head 2, and the bottom outlet of the dripping channel 35 is located directly above the coffee filter 5.

[0050] Preferably, the cold air channel 36 is arranged around the dripping channel 35, so that the inside of the dripping channel 35 can be cooled in all directions, thereby accelerating the rapid cooling of the normal temperature water entering the dripping channel 35.

[0051] In some embodiments, a water dividing column 33 and water dividing rods 34 connecting the water dividing column 33 and the inner wall of the dripping channel 35 are provided inside the dripping channel 35. The water dividing column 33 is coaxially arranged with the dripping channel 35, and a plurality of water dividing rods 34 are arranged radially around the water dividing column 33.

[0052] The top of the water dividing column 33 faces the water outlet of the brewing head 2. When the brewing water droplets discharged from the brewing head 2 fall on the water dividing column 33 or the water dividing rods 34, the ice droplets are scattered and splashed onto the inner peripheral wall of the dripping channel 35 and flow down along the dripping channel 35. The water dividing column 33 and the water dividing rods 34 can realize the water dividing function and can also disperse the tiny water flow dripping on the water dividing column 33 to form water droplets.

[0053] In some embodiments, the refrigeration block 3 is a hollow structure, and a cold air channel 36 is formed inside the refrigeration block 3. The area between the outer wall of the dripping channel 35 and the inner wall of the refrigeration block 3 forms the cold air channel 36.

The blower 70 is used to blow air into the refrigeration channel 76 to form cold air. After the cold air enters the cold storage 12 through the cold air inlet 15 of the storage body, it will then enter the cold air channel 36 to cool the normal temperature dripping water of the dripping channel 35. Finally, the cold air is discharged through the cold air outlet 16 of the storage body and then enters the refrigeration channel 76, thereby realizing the circulating flow of the cold air.

[0061] Preferably, a water absorption pad 74 and a heat preservation cotton 75 are also provided on the main machine 1 of this embodiment. The water absorption pad 74 is mainly used to adsorb the liquid water inside the main machine 1, and the heat preservation cotton 75 and the housing 17 of the main machine 1 play a heat preservation role.

[0062] In some embodiments, the number of the heat conducting sheets 72 is two, and the two heat conducting sheets 72 are located on opposite sides of the Peltier device 71. One of the heat conducting sheets 72 is used to absorb the cold generated by the Peltier device 71, and the other heat conducting sheet 72 is used to absorb the heat generated when the Peltier device 71 operates. Fins are respectively provided on the sides of the two heat conducting sheets 72 facing away from the Peltier device 71. Among them, the fins on the heat conducting sheet 72 cooperating with the blower 70 define a refrigeration channel 76, and the fins on the heat conducting sheet 72 cooperating with the radiator fan 73 are used to dissipate the heat generated by the Peltier device 71. The radiator fan 73 is used to blow out the heat generated on this heat conducting sheet 72 through the heat dissipation opening on the casing 17.

[0063] In addition, in some embodiments, a power supply board 77 is further provided on the host 1 to supply power to the Peltier device 71, the blower 70, the radiator fan 73, etc. respectively.
