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.
[0032] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, this embodiment provides a coffee capsule maker configured with a capsule box detection device, including:
[0033] A coffee machine body 1, provided with a grinding mechanism, and a powder outlet 13 is arranged below the grinding mechanism;
[0034] The capsule seat 4 is arranged on the coffee machine body 1 and is located below the powder outlet 13. A capsule box placement position 41 for placing a capsule box is provided on the capsule seat 4; and,
[0035] The capsule box detection device is arranged on the coffee machine body 1 and is used to detect whether there is a capsule box on the capsule box placement position 41.
[0036] Among them, the capsule box detection device is preferably an infrared photoelectric switch. And for the convenience of installation, it is preferably a transmissive infrared switch.
[0037] Specifically, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, for the convenience of installation, the capsule box detection device includes a transmitter 21 and a receiver 31. The transmitter 21 and the receiver 31 are respectively located on opposite sides of the capsule box placement position 41. Specifically, during operation, if there is no capsule box on the capsule box placement position 41, the signal emitted by the transmitter 21 is normally received by the receiver 31, thereby identifying that no capsule box is placed. The machine can remind the user to place the capsule box by means of an alarm light or sound, etc. If the user places the capsule box on the capsule box placement position 41, then the capsule box blocks the signal emitted by the transmitter 21. At this time, the receiver 31 cannot receive the signal, and it is identified that the capsule box has been placed, and subsequent operations can be carried out.
[0038] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, as a preferred implementation manner, the transmitter 21 and the receiver 31 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the capsule box placement position 41.
[0039] To further facilitate the installation of the transmitter 21 and the receiver 31, a first through hole 42 is provided in the middle of the capsule box placement position 41 in this embodiment;
[0040] When the capsule box is not placed on the capsule box placement position 41, the signal emitted by the transmitter 21 reaches the receiver 31 through the first through hole 42 and is thus received by the receiver 31. The capsule box detection device detects that there is no capsule box on the capsule box placement position 41; when the capsule box is placed on the capsule box placement position 41, the first through hole 42 is closed, the signal emitted by the transmitter 21 is blocked by the capsule box, and the receiver 31 cannot receive the signal of the transmitter 21. The capsule box detection device detects that there is a capsule box on the capsule box placement position 41.
[0041] In this embodiment, the coffee machine body 1 includes an upper body located at the upper part, a middle body located at the middle part, and a base located at the bottom. The capsule seat 4 is arranged on the middle body and is located between the upper body and the base; the bean grinding mechanism and the powder outlet 13 are both arranged on the upper body, and the powder outlet 13 is located above the capsule box placement position 41.

Specifically, since the capsule box needs to be docked with the powder outlet 13, the installation position of the transmitter 21 does not hinder the docking of the capsule box with the powder outlet 13.
[0043] Wherein, the receiver 31 is located on the base and below the first through hole 42. The optical signal emitted by the transmitter 21 passes obliquely downward through the first through hole 42 and is received by the receiver 31.
[0044] Wherein, as another implementation manner, the transmitter 21 is arranged below the first through hole 42, and the receiver 31 is arranged on the upper body and on one side of the powder outlet 13.
[0045] As Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the base includes a base bottom shell 12 and a base upper cover 11. A receiver mounting seat 3 is provided between the base bottom shell 12 and the base upper cover 11. The receiver 31 is arranged on the receiver mounting seat 3, and a second through hole is provided on the base upper cover 11. Specifically, the receiver mounting seat 3 can be fixed to the base upper cover 11 by screws. The receiver mounting seat 3 is provided with a pipe that slopes upward and faces the transmitter 21, and the receiver 31 is arranged at the bottom of the pipe and faces the transmitter 21.
[0046] A transmitter mounting seat 2 is provided inside the upper body, and the transmitter 21 is arranged on the transmitter mounting seat 2. Specifically, the transmitter mounting seat 2 can be fixed to the upper body by screws. The transmitter mounting seat 2 is provided with a pipe that slopes downward and faces the receiver 31, and the transmitter 21 is arranged at the upper end of the pipe.
[0047] Principle of operation description:
[0048] When the optical signal emitted by the transmitter 21 can be normally received by the receiver 31, it is detected that there is no capsule box on the capsule box placement position 41. When the receiver 31 cannot receive the optical signal emitted by the transmitter 21, it is detected that there is a capsule box on the capsule box placement position 41.
[0049] The present utility model is not limited to the above optional implementation manners. On the premise of not conflicting with each other, the various solutions 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.
