[0038] The following is combined with Figures 1-13 This application is described in further detail.

[0039] Embodiment 1:

[0040] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiment of the present application, a bean box assembly is disclosed. The bean box assembly includes a bean box body 1, a bean box cover 2, and a rotating disk 3. A bean outlet 11 is provided at the bottom of the bean box body 1. The rotating disk 3 is rotatably connected to the outer end surface of the bottom of the bean box body 1. A bean box door 4 is provided between the rotating disk 3 and the bean box body 1. When the rotating disk 3 rotates, it drives the bean box door 4 to open or close the bean outlet 11.

[0041] Since the bean box door 4 is located between the rotating disk 3 and the bean box body 1, during the cleaning process of the bean box assembly, only the rotating disk 3 needs to be disassembled and installed to achieve the disassembly and installation of the bean box door 4. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient, thus providing convenience for the cleaning of the bean box assembly.

[0042] Referring to Figure 3 A limiting groove 12 is provided on the outer end surface of the bottom of the bean box body 1. The limiting groove 12 is integrally rectangular in structure. The bean outlet 11 is located within the limiting groove 12, and the limiting groove 12 is centrosymmetric with respect to the center of the bean outlet 11. Limiting end grooves 121 are provided at both ends of the limiting groove 12.

[0043] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The rotating disk 3 is buckled to the bottom end surface of the bean box body 1 from below the bean box body 1. The rotating disk 3 is provided with a bean dropping port 31, and the bean dropping port 31 is coaxially communicated with the bean outlet 11. The rotating disk 3 is further provided with two arc grooves 32, and the two arc grooves 32 are centrosymmetric with respect to the center of the bean dropping port 31. Among them, a limiting ring 33 extends from the circumferential surface of the rotating disk 3 toward the side of the bean box body 1. The inner diameter of the limiting ring 33 is adapted to the outer diameter of the bottom of the bean box body 1, and the rotating disk 3 buckles the bottom of the bean box body 1 through the limiting ring 33.

[0044] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 6, there are two bean box doors 4, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bean outlet 11. When the two bean box doors 4 are butted, the bean outlet 11 is closed, and when the two bean box doors 4 move away from each other, the bean outlet 11 is opened. The end of the bean box door 4 away from the bean outlet 11 extends and protrudes to form a limit boss 41, and a positioning column 411 is fixedly arranged on the limit boss 41. The positioning columns 411 of the two bean box doors 4 are respectively inserted into two arc-shaped grooves 32 of the rotating disk 3. When the rotating disk 3 rotates, the rotation of the arc-shaped groove 32 drives the positioning column 411 to slide in the arc-shaped groove 32, and the distances from different positions of the arc-shaped groove 32 to the center position of the bean dropping port 31 are different, so as to drive the positioning column 411 to slide along the limit groove 12. The limit boss 41 cooperates with the limit end groove 121. When the positioning column 411 slides to one end of the arc-shaped groove 32, the limit boss 41 is embedded in the limit end groove 121, and at this time the bean outlet 11 is completely opened.

[0045] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , further, the bean box assembly further includes a twisting assembly, and the twisting assembly includes a knob 5 and a connecting piece 6. The knob 5 includes a rotating part 51 and a driving part 52 integrally connected to the rotating part 51. The circumferential surface of the rotating part 51 is provided with anti-slip lines. The driving part 52 is in the shape of an open horn facing the connecting piece 6, and a support column 521 is arranged on the end surface of the driving part 52 facing the connecting piece 6. The connecting piece 6 is integrally in the shape of a disk, and the connecting piece 6 is provided with a lower bean port 61 coaxially communicated with the bean outlet 11. The upper surface of the connecting piece 6 is inclined from the periphery to the lower bean port 61 and is fixedly provided with a connecting pipe 62 that cooperates with the support column 521. The support column 521 is inserted into the connecting pipe 62 to realize the fixed connection between the connecting piece 6 and the knob 5. In a preferred embodiment, at least three support columns 521 and connecting pipes 62 are arranged, and the three connecting pipes 62 are evenly arranged around the lower bean port 61, so as to improve the connection stability between the connecting piece 6 and the knob 5. When the support column 521 and the connecting pipe 62 are connected, a blanking space is formed between the knob 5 and the connecting piece 6, and the coffee beans in the bean box body 1 pass through the blanking space, the lower bean port 61, the bean outlet 11 and the bean dropping port 31 in sequence.

[0046] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3A connecting column 63 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the connecting member 6. Two arc-shaped relief grooves 13 are arranged at the bottom of the bean box body 1. The connecting column 63 passes through the relief groove 13 and is fixedly connected to the rotating disc 3. Since the rotation angle of the rotating disc 3 is limited by the stroke of the bean box door 4, the radian of the relief groove 13 is matched with the moving track of the connecting column 63. In a preferred example, there are two connecting columns 63, and two relief grooves 13 are arranged to cooperate with the connecting columns 63. The two relief grooves 13 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bean outlet 11.

[0047] An assembly groove 14 is arranged at the bottom of the bean box body 1, and the connecting member 6 is arranged in the assembly groove 14. When the connecting member 6 is assembled into the assembly groove 14, the upper surface of the connecting member 6 and the inner surface of the bottom of the bean box body 1 form a smooth material falling surface. When the bean outlet 11 is opened, the coffee beans in the bean box body 1 can easily fall into the coffee machine from the bean outlet 11 along the material falling surface.

[0048] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The rotating disc 3 is provided with a connecting hole 34, and the connecting column 63 passes through the relief groove 13 and is fixedly connected to the connecting hole 34.

[0049] Furthermore, the bean box cover 2 is buckled on the bean box body 1 and is provided with an operation port 21 for operating the twisting assembly. When the bean box cover 2 is buckled on the bean box body 1, the rotating part of the knob 5 protrudes out of the bean box body 1 through the operation port 21, thus facilitating the rotation of the knob 5.

[0050] Furthermore, an installation boss 35 for connecting the coffee machine is arranged on the circumferential surface of the rotating disc 3.

[0051] As can be seen from the above, during the use of the bean box assembly, by rotating the knob 5, the connecting member 6 and the rotating disc 3 are driven to rotate, and then the bean box door 4 is driven to slide along the limiting groove 12, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the bean outlet 11. When the bean box door 4 needs to be cleaned, the rotating disc 3 can be disassembled to disassemble or install the bean box door 4, with a simple structure and convenient operation.

[0052] Embodiment 2:

[0053] Refer to Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 The difference between the embodiment of the present application and Embodiment 1 is that: a jumping bean spring 122 is arranged in the limiting end groove 121, and the limiting boss 41 is provided with a spring bayonet 412 for cooperating with the jumping bean spring 122.

[0054] During the installation of the bean box assembly, the jumping bean spring 122 is snapped into the spring bayonet 412. During the use of the bean box assembly, the jumping bean spring 122 is removed from the spring bayonet 412. During the process of driving the bean box door 4 to open or close, the jumping bean spring 122 can form a stroke limit for the bean box door 4, so that the rotating disk 3 is in different positions during the operation of the bean box assembly and during the installation of the bean box assembly, avoiding the separation of the bean box assembly from the coffee machine during the use of the bean box assembly.

[0055] Embodiment Three:

[0056] Referring to Figures 10-13 , the embodiment of the present application provides a coffee machine, and the coffee machine includes the bean box assembly according to any one of Embodiment One and Embodiment Two. A fixing groove 7 for connecting the bean box assembly is arranged at the top of the coffee machine, and the fixing groove 7 communicates with the bean grinding assembly 8 inside the coffee machine. The coffee beans in the bean box assembly fall into the bean grinding assembly 8 through the fixing groove 7. A first embedding groove 71 for cooperating with the installation boss 35 and an adjusting disk 9 connected to the rotating disk 3 are arranged in the fixing groove 7. The adjusting disk 9 is rotatably connected to the fixing groove 7 and the bean grinding assembly 8, and the adjusting disk 9 is provided with a second embedding groove 91 for cooperating with the installation boss 35. When installing the bean box assembly, first align the first embedding groove 71 and the second embedding groove 91, and then snap the installation boss 35 into the second embedding groove 91 along the first embedding groove 71. When the rotating disk 3 rotates, it drives the adjusting disk 9 to rotate relative to the fixing groove 7.

[0057] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereby.
