The shaft 15 is connected, and a liquid outlet channel 19 is provided in the axial direction of the shaft 15, and a liquid guide hole 20 is provided in the radial direction of the shaft 15. The bottom end of the spiral channel 16 is connected with the top end of the liquid outlet channel 19 via the liquid guide hole 20. The rotation driver 11 is used to drive the shaft 15 to rotate, and the liquid outlet control module 13 is used to control the connection and disconnection between the bottom end of the liquid outlet channel 19 and the liquid outlet nozzle 12; specifically, the rotation driver 11 can adopt a motor, and the nozzle 9 and the filter barrel 5 can rotate relative to the sleeve 8.
[0028] In actual application, under normal circumstances, the liquid discharge control module 13 blocks the bottom end of the liquid discharge channel 19, and the liquid discharge channel 19 is not connected to the liquid discharge nozzle 12; when it is necessary to brew coffee, the barrel cover 6 is opened, and a certain amount of liquid (such as water, etc.) and coffee powder are added to the liquid filling barrel 4 and the filter barrel 5 respectively, and the heating unit 7 heats the liquid in the liquid filling barrel 4, and then the barrel cover 6 covers the liquid filling barrel 4 and the filter barrel 5, and then the rotating driver 11 drives the shaft 15 to rotate at a high speed, so that the rotating shaft 2 rotates at a high speed, and the high-speed rotating rotating shaft 2 drives the nozzle 9 and the filter barrel 5 to rotate at a high speed. As the screw 14 rotates at a high speed, the liquid in the liquid filling barrel 4 will enter the spiral channel 16 from the liquid supply hole 18, and the liquid will be spirally transported upward along the spiral channel 16 to the liquid passage 17. The liquid in the liquid passage 17 is sprayed into the filter barrel 5 through the nozzle 9, so that the liquid is mixed with the coffee powder to brew the coffee. The coffee powder is brewed to form a mixed solution. At the same time, as the filter barrel 5 rotates at a high speed, the mixed solution will be thrown back into the liquid filling barrel 4 through the filter holes of the filter barrel 5 under the action of centrifugal force / rotational force, so that the mixed solution in the liquid filling barrel 4 can circulate and brew coffee, making the mixing of liquid and coffee powder more uniform, which is beneficial to improving the taste of the coffee beverage; when the brewing time of the coffee brewing device reaches a preset value, the rotation driver 11 stops driving the rotating shaft 2, and the cup is placed on the base 1, and the cup is located below the liquid outlet nozzle 12. At this time, the liquid outlet control module 13 opens the bottom end of the liquid outlet channel 19, so that the bottom end of the liquid outlet channel 19 is connected to the liquid outlet nozzle 12, and the coffee beverage in the liquid filling barrel 4 enters the liquid outlet channel 19 through the liquid guide hole 20, and the liquid outlet channel 19 transports the coffee beverage to the liquid outlet nozzle 12, and the liquid outlet nozzle 12 outputs the coffee beverage into the cup. When liquid and / or coffee powder needs to be added, the lid 6 can be opened to add liquid and coffee powder to the liquid storage barrel 4 and filter barrel 5, respectively, making the addition of liquid and coffee powder convenient. Furthermore, when cleaning is required, the lid 6 can be opened and the filter barrel 5 removed from the rotating shaft 2 to clean the filter barrel 5 and the liquid storage barrel 4. This facilitates cleaning and maintenance and reduces the risk of clogging the filter holes of the filter barrel 5 and the nozzle 9. Furthermore, as the mixed solution is spirally transported upward along the spiral channel 16, the mixed solution becomes more uniform. The utility model drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate, not only realizing cyclic brewing and mixing in a spiral feeding manner, but also driving the nozzle 9 and the filter barrel 5 to rotate, so that the mixed solution in the filter barrel 5 is thrown back into the liquid filling barrel 4 under the action of centrifugal force / rotational force, thereby making the brewing and mixing of coffee powder and liquid more uniform, thereby making the coffee beverage taste better, and the addition of liquid and coffee powder is convenient and efficient, and the cleaning and maintenance of the filter barrel 5 and the liquid filling barrel 4 are convenient; in addition, the strength of the cyclic brewing coffee can be controlled by controlling the rotation time of the rotating shaft 2, so that coffee suitable for personal taste can be brewed.
[0029] In this embodiment, the liquid outlet nozzle 12 includes a liquid outlet pipe 21 that slides up and down through the outer shell 10 and an inner limit plate 22 arranged in the inner cavity of the liquid outlet pipe 21. The inner limit plate 22 divides the inner cavity of the liquid outlet pipe 21 into a sliding hole 23 and a liquid outlet hole 24. The inner limit plate 22 is provided with a plurality of through holes 25, which are connected to the liquid outlet hole 24. The bottom of the shaft 15 is slidably inserted into the sliding hole 23. The liquid outlet control module 13 is used to control the connection and disconnection between the bottom end of the liquid outlet channel 19 and the plurality of through holes 25. Specifically, the liquid outlet nozzle 12 also includes an outer limit plate 26 arranged on the outer side wall of the liquid outlet pipe 21 and located in the shell 10. A resistance plate 27 is provided in the shell 10 and is located above the outer limit plate 26. The liquid outlet control module 13 includes a spring 28, a sealing gasket 29 and a control wrench 30. The spring 28 is sleeved on the outside of the liquid outlet pipe 21. The two ends of the spring 28 respectively resist the lower side of the outer limit plate 26 and the inner bottom wall of the shell 10. The sealing gasket 29 is installed on the top surface of the inner limit plate 22. The sealing gasket 29 is provided with a plurality of through holes 31. The plurality of through holes 31 are respectively connected to the plurality of through holes 25 in a one-to-one correspondence. The wrench 30 is rotatably connected to the liquid outlet pipe 21 and is located below the outer shell 10. The inner end of the control wrench 30 is protruded upward with a resistance block 32 for resisting the bottom end of the outer shell 10. The outer end of the control wrench 30 extends upward at an angle, and the overall structure of the control wrench 30 is roughly √-shaped; when the spring 28 is in an extended state, the outer limit plate 26 resists the resistance plate 27, the bottom end surface of the liquid outlet pipe 21 is tightly against the sealing gasket 29 and blocks several through holes 31; when the spring 28 is in a compressed state, the outer limit plate 26 separates from the resistance plate 27, the bottom end surface of the liquid outlet pipe 21 separates from the sealing gasket 29 and opens several through holes 31.
[0030] In actual application, at the beginning, the spring 28 is in an extended state, the liquid outlet nozzle 12 is in a high position, the outer limit plate 26 contacts the contact plate 27, the bottom end surface of the shaft rod 15 is tightly fitted with the sealing gasket 29, and the bottom end surface of the shaft rod 15 blocks the multiple through holes 31 on the sealing gasket 29. At this time, the solution in the liquid outlet channel 19 cannot flow out; when it is necessary to discharge a coffee beverage, downward pressure is applied to the outer end of the control wrench 30 to rotate the control wrench 30, and the contact block 32 on the rotating control wrench 30 will contact the outer At the bottom end of the housing 10, the housing 10 applies a reaction force to the abutment block 32, allowing the control lever 30 to move the liquid outlet pipe 21 downward. The downwardly moving outer stop plate 26 of the liquid outlet pipe 21 compresses the spring 28, and the bottom end surface of the shaft 15 separates from the sealing gasket 29 on the inner stop plate 22, allowing the liquid outlet channel 19 to communicate with the through hole 25 via the through hole 31. The coffee beverage flows through the liquid outlet channel 19, the through hole 31, and the through hole 25 into the liquid outlet hole 24, allowing the liquid outlet pipe 21 to dispense the coffee beverage. When it is necessary to stop dispensing the coffee beverage, the downward pressure on the outer end of the control lever 30 is released, causing the liquid outlet pipe 21 to move upward and return to its original position under the rebound force of the spring 28 until the bottom end surface of the shaft 15 abuts the sealing gasket 29 and blocks the through hole 31. At the same time, the control lever 30 automatically returns to its original position.
[0031] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the housing 10 is recessed with a slot 33 for engaging with a stopper 32. When the stopper 32 engages the slot 33, the spring 28 remains compressed. To maintain the dispensing of coffee while freeing the user's hands, when pressing down on the outer end of the control lever 30, the stopper 32 needs to be moved to the slot 33. Only after the stopper 32 engages the slot 33 can the control lever 30 be released. At this point, due to the engagement between the stopper 32 and the slot 33, the spring 28 remains compressed, and the control lever 30 cannot automatically reset. As a result, the liquid dispensing tube 21 remains in a lowered position, and the bottom end surface of the shaft 15 remains separated from the sealing gasket 29 on the inner limit plate 22, allowing for continuous dispensing of coffee. When it is necessary to stop dispensing coffee beverages, the control wrench 30 is operated to move the resistance block 32 out of the slot 33. Under the rebound force of the spring 28, the liquid outlet pipe 21 moves upward and resets, and the control wrench 30 resets until the bottom end surface of the shaft 15 blocks the through hole 31. Then, the liquid outlet pipe 21 and the control wrench 30 are reset to their initial state.
[0032] In this embodiment, a first sealing ring 34 is mounted on the outer sidewall of the bottom of the shaft 15. The first sealing ring 34 is used to seal the gap between the outer sidewall of the shaft 15 and the inner sidewall of the sliding hole 23. This structural design improves the sealing between the shaft 15 and the liquid outlet pipe 21, preventing leakage.
[0033] In this embodiment, a non-circular connecting key 35 is provided at the top end of the screw 14, and a non-circular keyway is provided within the inner cavity of the nozzle 9, which is recessed and mates with the non-circular connecting key 35. The convex-concave fit between the non-circular connecting key 35 and the non-circular keyway not only facilitates the positioning and assembly of the nozzle 9 and the rotating shaft 2, but also ensures high positional accuracy and stability after assembly, and ensures that the nozzle 9 and the rotating shaft 2 rotate synchronously.
[0034] Specifically, a second sealing ring 43 is embedded in the inner cavity of the nozzle head 9, which is used to seal the gap between the inner wall of the nozzle head 9 and the outer wall of the sleeve 8. This structural design improves the sealing between the nozzle head 9 and the sleeve 8, preventing the solution in the liquid cavity 17 from flowing back into the liquid storage barrel 4 through the gap between the inner wall of the nozzle head 9 and the outer wall of the sleeve 8, ensuring that the solution in the liquid cavity 17 is sprayed from the nozzle head 9 into the filter barrel 5, thereby ensuring that the circular brewing and mixing can be completed normally.
[0035] In this embodiment, an embedded cylinder 36 is formed by extending downward from the middle part of the bottom plate of the liquid-filling barrel 4, and a bearing seat 37 is integrally connected to the bottom end of the sleeve 8. The diameter of the bearing seat 37 is larger than the diameter of the sleeve 8. The bearing seat 37 is tightly embedded in the embedded cylinder 36. The top surface of the bearing seat 37 is not higher than the inner bottom wall of the liquid-filling barrel 4. A sealing ring 38 and a first bearing 39 are embedded in the bearing seat 37 from top to bottom. The shaft 15 passes through the inner ring of the first bearing 39 and the sealing ring 38. The sealing ring 38 is used to seal the gap between the shaft 15 and the bearing seat 37. The shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 37 via the first bearing 39. The liquid supply hole 18 is located at the connection position between the sleeve 8 and the bearing seat 37; the shaft 15 passes through the bottom wall of the embedded cylinder 36. This structural design improves the positioning accuracy and stability of the sleeve 8 because the bearing seat 37 is embedded in the embedding tube 36; the setting of the first bearing 39 improves the rotation stability of the rotating shaft 2; the sealing ring 38 seals the gap between the shaft 15 and the bearing seat 37 to prevent liquid leakage.
[0036] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the liquid storage barrel 4 is provided with an annular heating temperature knob potentiometer 40 and an annular brewing time knob potentiometer 41. The base 1 has a built-in control system. The annular heating temperature knob potentiometer 40, the annular brewing time knob potentiometer 41, the heating unit 7, and the rotary driver 11 are all electrically connected to the control system. The annular heating temperature knob potentiometer 40 is used to adjust the heating temperature of the heating unit 7, and the annular brewing time knob potentiometer 41 is used to adjust the rotation time of the rotary driver 11. Specifically, the annular heating temperature knob potentiometer 40 and the annular brewing time knob potentiometer 41 can adopt potentiometers in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0037] In actual application, by manipulating the annular heating temperature knob potentiometer 40 and the annular brewing time knob potentiometer 41, combined with the control of the control system, the temperature at which the heating unit 7 heats the solution in the liquid barrel 4 and the time for the rotary driver 11 to drive the rotating shaft 2 to rotate are controlled to adjust the temperature and time of brewing coffee.
[0038] In this embodiment, two gear positioning components 42 are embedded on the side wall of the liquid barrel 4. The two gear positioning components 42 are respectively set to correspond to the annular knob of the annular heating temperature knob potentiometer 40 and the annular knob of the annular brewing time knob potentiometer 41. One gear positioning component 42 is used to position the annular knob of the annular heating temperature knob potentiometer 40, and the other gear positioning component 42 is used to position the annular knob of the annular brewing time knob potentiometer 41.
[0039] In actual application, the gear positioning component 42 is used to position the rotation positions of the annular knob of the annular heating temperature knob potentiometer 40 and the annular brewing time knob potentiometer 41 to ensure the stability of adjusting the heating temperature and brewing time.
