Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a coffee machine and its bean grinding device, and is a bean discharging and grinding mechanism under the bean box of a coffee machine. Background Art

[0002] A coffee machine is an electrical device used for coffee making, generally divided into semi-automatic and fully automatic types. Among them, the semi-automatic coffee machine is a traditional Italian coffee machine, which grinds, presses, loads, brews, and manually removes residues according to manual operations; the fully automatic coffee machine realizes the automatic control of the whole process of brewing coffee, including preheating, cleaning, grinding, pressing, brewing, and discharging powder, brews coffee according to scientific data and procedures, and is equipped with a perfect protection system, making it convenient to use, and one can get coffee with just a gentle press. The grinding mechanism of a coffee machine is a powder grinding tool that grinds coffee beans into coffee powder when a mechanical cutter rotates rapidly driven by a motor. However, when the existing grinding mechanism of a coffee machine grinds coffee powder, a certain amount of coffee beans usually need to be put into a bean box and ground by a grinder. Therefore, in most cases, it is difficult to control the quantity of coffee beans, and most users are non-professionals and cannot quantitatively grind the amount of coffee powder they need. Moreover, there will be residual coffee beans above the grinding disc after taking out the bean box, which will affect the mixed grinding of coffee beans with different flavors next time and the taste quality of coffee. For this reason, some existing grinding mechanisms of coffee machines adopt automatic feeding, bean grinding, and powder discharging structures, such as the application number 202320048768.0 disclosed in Chinese patent literature, the authorization announcement date is June 23, 2023, and the utility model name is "Bean Grinding Drip Coffee Machine Grinding Device"; another example is the application number 202322027446.0 disclosed in Chinese patent literature, the authorization announcement date is April 2, 2024, and the utility model name is "A Bean Grinding Device and Coffee Machine with Electrostatic Elimination Function"; however, the above products and similar products are still prone to bean jamming during the bean discharging process, are prone to splashing out when entering the grinder, and have problems such as poor fixation of the cooperation between the bean discharging components. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the above deficiencies, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a bean discharging and grinding mechanism under the bean box of a coffee machine to the art, so as to solve the technical problems that existing similar products are still prone to bean jamming during the bean discharging process, are prone to splashing out when entering the grinder, and have poor fixation of the cooperation between the bean discharging components. Its purpose is achieved through the following technical solutions.

The synchronous motor of the bean box base assembly drives the bean discharging gear of the bean box assembly to rotate through the square worm and the transmission gear. The key point of its structural design is that the bean box base is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the lower cover of the bean box through screws. At the bottom of the bean box base, there are two rectangular ribs, and the ribs are columnar ribs. The ribs of the bean box base form corresponding fitting insertion with the rectangular openings at the bean box mounting bracket of the lower bean box base assembly below. On both sides of the rectangular opening at the bottom of the bean box mounting bracket, there is a microswitch fixing seat respectively. The microswitch fixing seats are respectively provided with microswitches. Below the rectangular opening, there are ejector rods respectively. The upper end of the ejector rod is shaped as a rectangle and is inserted into the rectangular opening at the bottom of the bean box mounting bracket. Springs are respectively arranged at the ejector rods. When the ejector rods are respectively pressed downward by pressure to trigger the corresponding microswitches, at the same time, the transmission gear is inserted into the cylindrical positioning column at the bottom of the bean discharging gear and forms a fixed fit, and the microswitches respectively trigger the bean grinding motor of the bean grinder assembly and the synchronous motor of the bean box base assembly to enter the working state. The above-mentioned bean box assembly, bean box base assembly, and bean grinder assembly form the bean discharging assembly of the coffee machine, which is convenient for disassembling and cleaning the bean box assembly; the cylindrical sleeve of the bean box mounting bracket is embedded into the stator bracket to prevent beans from splashing out during the bean grinding process.

[0030] The specific implementation plan of the mechanism is as follows: first, put the bean box assembly into the bean box base assembly below, and then put the bean box assembly and the bean box base assembly in from the side at an angle. The outer side surface of the bean box base and the inner side surface of the bean box placement frame are respectively provided with bone tendons, and the coffee beans are placed and positioned along the bone tendons. In this process, the magnet below the bean box base is attracted and fixed by the magnet of the bean box placement frame, and the two bone positions below the bean box base are inserted into the two notches of the bean box placement frame, and the two push rods below the notches are triggered.

The bean dropping gear rotates clockwise, and the gear leaves of the bean dropping gear sweep the coffee beans into the bean dropping port of the lower cover of the bean box and fall into the grinder assembly below. A cylindrical sleeve is provided below the bean box placement frame and embedded in the stator bracket to prevent beans from splashing during the grinding process.

[0031] During use, open the bean hopper cover assembly, put coffee beans above the anti-bean-splashing grille, and after passing through the anti-bean-splashing grille, they gather on the inclined plane inside the bean hopper. Through the rotation and stirring of the bean discharging gear, the coffee beans at the gaps between the gear blades of the bean discharging gear are sent into the bean discharging port and the anti-bean silicone sheet at the bean inlet is opened, and then enter the bean discharging port of the lower cover of the lower bean hopper. At this time, while the weighing module senses the weight change in the bean hopper, the coffee beans enter the cylindrical sleeve of the bean hopper mounting rack from the bean discharging port and fall into the upper and lower conical cutters inside the stator support at the top of the grinder assembly. The coffee beans are ground coarsely and finely by the upper and lower conical cutters and discharged through the powder discharging channel, waiting for further extraction and brewing, or collected and then manually put into the corresponding coffee machine equipment for extraction and brewing.

[0032] To sum up, this mechanism controls the quantity and speed of the beans falling in the bean hopper by adding a silicone baffle, and designs an anti-bean-splashing grille and an anti-bean silicone sheet at the bean inlet of the bean hopper assembly and the grinder assembly to prevent splashing. The lower end of the bean discharging gear is designed with a groove and the bean hopper is integrally fixed with a snap ring, etc., which solves the problems of easy bean jamming during the bean discharging process of existing similar products, easy splashing when entering the grinder, and poor fixation of the cooperation between the bean discharging components.
