Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0039] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, this embodiment provides a coffee capsule machine with a pressing head 2 configured to adapt to multiple capsule boxes, including:

[0040] A frame 1 provided with a powder pressing channel 11; and,

[0041] The pressing head 2 is arranged at the lower end of the powder pressing channel 11. A through hole communicating with the powder pressing channel 11 is provided in the middle of the pressing head 2. A docking port 21 for docking with the capsule box is provided at the lower end of the through hole. At least one circle of capsule box docking parts is provided at the lower end of the pressing head 2 and around the docking port 21.

[0042] When there are two or more circles of the capsule box docking parts, all the capsule box docking parts are arranged in sequence from the side close to the docking port 21 to the side far from the docking port 21.

[0043] Specifically, a powder hammer is slidably arranged in the powder pressing channel 11. The capsule box is docked below the docking port 21 to catch the coffee powder falling from the docking port 21. When pressing the powder, the powder hammer passes through the docking port 21 to press the coffee powder in the capsule box, or the powder hammer presses the coffee powder in the powder pressing channel 11 or the through hole into the capsule box through the docking port 21. The capsule box docking part is used to dock with the upper port of the capsule box, so that the gap between the upper port of the capsule box and the pressing head 2 is smaller and the sealing performance is better, and it can avoid the coffee powder from overflowing or splashing out from the upper port of the capsule box when the powder hammer presses the powder.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, all the capsule box docking parts are arranged around a common axis.

[0045] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the lower end of the pressing head 2 is a step formed by an annular step and convex downward step by step from outside to inside;

[0046] The capsule box docking part is located on the step.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, the capsule box docking part is the lower end face of the annular step. That is, when docking, the upper port of the capsule box abuts against the lower end face of the annular step, so that the upper port of the capsule box and the annular step form a relatively sealed state.

[0048] Among them, the material of the pressing head 2 can be silica gel. When the capsule box is docked with the docking port 21, at least some specifications of the capsule box are sleeved on the annular step. Specifically, the inner side wall near the upper port of the capsule box surrounds the side wall of the annular step, so that when the capsule box is docked, the gap is smaller and the sealing performance is better.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, the material of the pressing head 2 is silica gel. Silica gel has a certain elasticity, so that when the pressing head 2 is docked with capsule boxes of different specifications, good sealing performance can be maintained between the pressing head 2 and each capsule box. As Figure 5As shown, there are three annular steps, namely a first annular step 24, a second annular step 25, and a third annular step 26. The first annular step 24, the second annular step 25, and the third annular step 26 are arranged in sequence from the side close to the docking port 21 to the side far from the docking port 21. Specifically, an arc transition is adopted between the lower end face and the outer side wall of the first annular step 24, and an arc transition is adopted between the lower end face and the outer side wall of the second annular step 25. The arc transition can better adapt to the shape of the upper port of the capsule box. The number of annular steps can also be increased or decreased according to specific requirements.

[0050] This embodiment provides three specifications of capsule boxes, namely a small-sized capsule box 3, a medium-sized capsule box 4, and a large-sized capsule box 5 with diameters increasing in sequence from small to large. The small-sized capsule box 3, the medium-sized capsule box 4, and the large-sized capsule box 5 are only distinguished by the diameter of the upper port of the capsule box.

[0051] As Figure 1 shown, when the small-sized capsule box 3 is docked with the docking port 21, the inner side wall of the small-sized capsule box 3 is sleeved on the outside of the first annular step 24, and the annular flange of the small-sized capsule box 3 abuts against the lower end face of the second annular step 25; thus, the sealing performance between the small-sized capsule box 3 and the pressing head 2 is better.

[0052] As Figure 2 shown, when the medium-sized capsule box 4 is docked with the docking port 21, the annular flange of the medium-sized capsule box 4 abuts against the lower end face of the second annular step 25; thus, the sealing performance between the medium-sized capsule box 4 and the pressing head 2 is better.

[0053] As Figure 3 shown, when the large-sized capsule box 5 is docked with the docking port 21, the inner side wall of the large-sized capsule box 5 is sleeved on the outside of the second annular step 25, and the annular flange of the large-sized capsule box 5 abuts against the lower end face of the third annular step 26, thus making the sealing performance between the large-sized capsule box 5 and the pressing head 2 better.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, in order to facilitate fixing the pressing head 2 on the rack 1, an upwardly protruding annular protrusion 22 is provided around the outer edge of the pressing head 2, and an annular clamping groove is provided on the rack 1. The annular protrusion 22 is located in the annular clamping groove. When fixing the pressing head 2, the annular clamping groove clamps the annular protrusion 22, and the upper end face of the pressing head 2 abuts against the rack 1.

[0055] Among them, in order to further fix the indenter 2, as Figure 4 shown, a plurality of positioning posts 23 are provided at the upper end of the indenter 2, and a plurality of positioning holes are provided on the frame 1. The plurality of positioning posts 23 are inserted into the plurality of positioning holes one by one from bottom to top. The plurality of positioning posts 23 can be arranged at equal intervals around the through hole.

[0056] Principle of operation description:

[0057] During docking, the capsule box approaches the lower end of the indenter 2 from bottom to top and docks with the indenter 2.

[0058] When the small-sized capsule box 3 docks with the docking port 21, the inner side wall of the small-sized capsule box 3 is sleeved on the outside of the first annular step 24, and the annular flange of the small-sized capsule box 3 abuts against the lower end surface of the second annular step 25.

[0059] When the medium-sized capsule box 4 docks with the docking port 21, the annular flange of the medium-sized capsule box 4 abuts against the lower end surface of the second annular step 25; thus, the sealing performance between the medium-sized capsule box 4 and the indenter 2 is better.

[0060] When the large-sized capsule box 5 docks with the docking port 21, the inner side wall of the large-sized capsule box 5 is sleeved on the outside of the second annular step 25, and the annular flange of the large-sized capsule box 5 abuts against the lower end surface of the third annular step 26, thus making the sealing performance between the large-sized capsule box 5 and the indenter 2 better.

[0061] The present utility model is not limited to the above optional embodiments. On the premise of not conflicting with each other, the various schemes can be arbitrarily combined; anyone can obtain other various forms of products under the inspiration of the present utility model. However, no matter what changes are made in its shape or structure, as long as the technical solutions fall within the scope defined by the claims of the present utility model, they all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
