[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] First, it should be noted that the longitudinal direction herein refers to a length direction parallel to the machine body 1 , and the transverse direction herein refers to a width direction parallel to the machine body 1 .

[0035] The embodiment of the present utility model discloses a coffee machine, comprising a machine body 1, a support base 2 and a water return box 3. The machine body 1 is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and a water outlet 11 is provided on the front side of the machine body 1. The internal structure and working principle of the machine body 1 can refer to the existing technology. The support base 2 is located at the bottom of the machine body 1, and is used to support the machine body 1 and increase the height of the machine body 1. The longitudinal length of the support base 2 is greater than the longitudinal length of the machine body 1. The rear end of the support base 2 is flush with the rear end of the machine body 1, and the front end of the support base 2 protrudes from the front end of the machine body 1. The portion of the support base 2 protruding from the machine body 1 is formed with an elevated portion 211, and the elevated portion 211 is provided with a receiving groove 212 for receiving a coffee cup.

[0036] The return water box 3 is detachable and can be placed on the raised portion 211. That is, the return water box 3 can be placed on the raised portion 211 or not, providing two placement scenarios for coffee cups. The center of the return water box 3 is hollow and is used to collect coffee overflowing from the coffee cup.

[0037] When the raised portion 211 is not stacked on the return water box 3, as shown in the attached Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the coffee cup is placed in the receiving groove 212, which is suitable for placing a tall coffee cup. When the raised portion 211 is stacked with the return water box 3, as shown in the attached Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the coffee cup is placed directly on the water return box 3, which is suitable for placing shorter coffee cups.

[0038] The utility model adds a receiving groove 212 on the support base 2, so that the coffee machine can adapt to coffee cups of different heights, increases the application scenarios, and has better adaptability.

[0039] The support seat 2 in this utility model is a splicing structure. Figure 5 As shown, the support base 2 includes a plurality of parallel splicing blocks, and any two adjacent splicing blocks can be detachably connected. In this way, the support blocks can be disassembled during packaging and transportation, which is convenient for storage and does not increase packaging and transportation costs. The material of the support base 2 is preferably resin, but is not limited thereto.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment, the splicing blocks include a front splicing block 21 and a rear splicing block 22. The front splicing block 21 and the rear splicing block 22 are provided with mutually cooperating snap-in protrusions and snap-in grooves. During assembly, the snap-in protrusions and snap-in grooves only need to be assembled, making assembly more convenient. Specifically, the snap-in protrusions are a plurality of trapezoidal protrusions arranged side by side on the front splicing block 21, each of which is integrally formed with the front splicing block 21. The snap-in grooves are a plurality of trapezoidal grooves provided on the rear splicing block 22. Of course, the connection between the front splicing block 21 and the rear splicing block 22 is not limited to this method; for example, a threaded connection may also be used. Furthermore, the number of splicing blocks is not limited to two.

[0041] The front assembling block 21 is used to support the front end of the machine body 1 , and the rear assembling block 22 is used to support the rear end of the machine body 1 . The raised portion 211 is formed with the front end of the front assembling block 21 .

[0042] A positive magnetic block and a negative magnetic block with different polarities are embedded between the clamping protrusion and the clamping groove, which can not only reliably connect the front splicing block 21 and the rear splicing block 22 by magnetic attraction, but also facilitate the disassembly of the front splicing block 21 and the rear splicing block 22.

[0043] As a preferred embodiment, the lateral widths of the machine body 1, the front splicing block 21, and the rear splicing block 22 are equal. This prevents excessive dust accumulation on the edges of the support base 2 due to the support base 2 being wider than the machine body 1, facilitating cleaning. Of course, the lateral width of the machine body 1 can also be smaller than the lateral widths of the front splicing block 21 and the rear splicing block 22, while still achieving the support purpose.

[0044] The sum of the longitudinal lengths of the front and rear splicing blocks 21, 22 is greater than the longitudinal length of the machine body 1, and the longitudinal length of the rear splicing block 22 is less than the longitudinal length of the machine body 1. This allows the machine body 1 to simultaneously press the front and rear splicing blocks 21, 22, and rely on the gravity of the machine body 1 to firmly secure the front and rear splicing blocks 21, 22, preventing the coffee cup from tipping over due to loose fixation. The longitudinal length of the raised portion 211 is equal to the longitudinal length of the return water box 3, and the lateral width of the raised portion 211 is equal to the lateral width of the return water box 3. In other words, the projection of the return water box 3 on the raised portion 211 completely overlaps with the raised portion 211, preventing dust from collecting on the raised portion 211. Of course, the lateral width of the raised portion 211 can also be smaller than the lateral width of the return water box 3 to achieve the dust-proof purpose.

[0045] Both the front and rear joints 21 and 22 are provided with mounting holes 23, which correspond to and extend through the fixing slots provided at the bottom of the machine body 1. Connecting bolts are inserted through the mounting holes 23 and are fixedly connected to the fixing slots. This allows the machine body 1 to be securely fixed to the support base 2 via the connecting bolts, while also facilitating disassembly of the machine body 1 and the support base 2, reducing packaging and transportation difficulties. As a preferred embodiment, the mounting holes 23 are preferably inverted cone-shaped holes, but are not limited thereto. For example, the mounting holes 23 can also be waist-shaped holes. By adjusting the position of the connecting bolts within the waist-shaped holes, the position of the machine body 1 can be fine-tuned relative to the support base 2, ensuring alignment between the machine body 1 and the support base 2, and compensating for assembly errors between the machine body 1 and the support base 2 to a certain extent. The bottom of the mounting holes 23 is provided with a recessed groove, the depth of which is greater than the height of the connecting bolt head. This ensures that the connecting bolt head is completely recessed within the recessed groove, preventing the support base 2 from being unstable due to the connecting bolt head extending beyond the recessed groove.

[0046] A cooperating limiting protrusion and limiting groove are provided between the raised portion 211 and the return water box 3 to define the relative position between the raised portion 211 and the return water box 3, preventing the return water box 3 from accidentally moving relative to the raised portion 211 and causing the coffee cup to tip over. In a preferred embodiment, the limiting protrusion is a circular protrusion provided on the raised portion 211, and the limiting groove is a cylindrical groove provided on the return water box 3.

[0047] As a preferred embodiment, the receiving groove 212 is a conical groove, so that the receiving groove 212 can be used for coffee cups of different diameters, which is more adaptable. Of course, the receiving groove 212 can be any reasonable shape that can store large-capacity water cups, and is not specifically limited here.

[0048] It should be noted that, in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are merely used to distinguish one entity from other entities, but do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities.

[0049] This document uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only intended to help understand the method and core concept of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
