Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of coffee machines, in particular to a cup and tray turning structure for a coffee machine. Background Art

[0002] The height of cups used in coffee machines varies from country to country, and even city to city. Some cups are taller, while others are shorter. Tall cups make it easier to place the coffee cup in the coffee machine. Shorter cups, however, can cause coffee liquid to flow down from the higher position into the shorter cup, potentially splashing out. Furthermore, shorter cups can be difficult to align with the coffee dispenser, which can cause the cup to misalign with the dispenser and spill out. A central cup tray can be installed. When using large cups, this tray needs to be flipped upright. This ensures that the tray does not flip back to a horizontal position due to vibrations from the coffee machine or the operator's hand, potentially causing the cup to fall over. When using smaller cups, the tray can be flipped horizontally and placed on top. This reduces the distance between the smaller cup and the dispenser, preventing coffee liquid from splashing and making it easier to align the smaller cup with the dispenser.

[0003] Therefore, a flip blocking mechanism of the cup tray in the middle of the coffee machine is designed to solve the problem that the cup tray in the middle of the coffee machine is easy to tip over when it is erected. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems existing in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a cup tray flipping structure for a coffee machine.

[0005] The specific technical solutions are as follows:

[0007] The cup tray has two extended long legs, each of which is provided with a cylinder. An oblique groove is provided on opposite sides of one end of the bracket. The cylinder is movably clamped in the corresponding oblique groove. The bracket is also provided with a spring piece. The spring piece is provided with a protrusion near the oblique groove. The cylinder is provided with a slot that engages with the protrusion. The other end of the bracket is provided in the mounting groove.

[0008] The oblique groove includes a connected arc-shaped groove and an oblique groove, the diameter of the arc-shaped groove is adapted to the diameter of the cylinder, and the oblique groove is inclined upward from an end close to the cup tray to an end close to the mounting groove.

[0009] The above-mentioned cup tray flip structure of a coffee machine also has such a feature that a limit block is respectively provided on two opposite sides of one end of the bracket, and a buffer is provided on the limit block. The buffer can be abutted against the long leg to limit the downward rotation of the cup tray.

[0010] The above-mentioned cup tray flipping structure of a coffee machine also has such a feature that the limit block is an L-shaped limit block, the L-shaped limit block includes a horizontal plate and a vertical plate perpendicular to each other, and the buffer member is arranged on the horizontal plate.

[0011] The above-mentioned cup tray flip structure of a coffee machine also has the following characteristics: a step hole is provided on the horizontal plate, and the buffer component includes a shaft body and shoulders and a buffer plate provided at both ends of the shaft body, the shoulders are provided at a position where the diameter of the step hole is large, and the buffer plate extends out of the step hole and can be abutted against the long leg.

[0012] The above-mentioned cup tray flip structure of the coffee machine also has such a feature that a hook is provided at the other end of the bracket, and correspondingly, a notch is provided in the mounting groove to engage with the hook.

The arc-shaped groove of the oblique groove of the bracket supports the cylinder on the long leg, so that the cylinder can rotate inside the arc-shaped groove, and the cup tray can flip smoothly. When the cup tray flips to a horizontal state, the protrusion on the spring piece abuts against the cylindrical surface of the cylinder. When the cup tray flips to a vertical state, the protrusion on the spring piece abuts against the clamping groove of the cylinder. The oblique groove of the bracket clamps the cylinder on the long leg of the cup tray, so that the cup tray cannot fall out upward.

[0017] The setting of the limit block and the buffer member prevents the cup tray from rotating further downward, so that the cup tray can be in a horizontal position; at this time, a small coffee cup can be placed on it;

[0018] The arrangement of the oblique groove allows the cup tray to be pulled out of the oblique groove of the bracket when the cup tray is erected, by exerting an upward pulling force on the cup tray. In other words, the cup tray can be removed. After the cup tray is removed, the cup tray can be cleaned and replaced. Conversely, the cup tray can be installed back into the bracket through the oblique groove.

[0019] In general, the flip blocking mechanism of the middle cup tray of the coffee machine solves the problem that the middle cup tray of the coffee machine is prone to tipping over when it is erected. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Figure 9 Schematic diagram of the structure of the cup tray of the coffee machine when it is tilted upward; the utility model discloses a cup tray flip structure of the coffee machine, comprising: a cup tray 1, a bracket 2 and a mounting slot 31 provided on the coffee machine;

[0034] The cup tray 1 is used to carry structures such as water cups and coffee cups, and may be a plate structure. For example, in this embodiment, the cup tray 1 is a hollow disc-shaped member.

[0035] The cup tray 1 has two extended long legs 11, each of which is provided with a cylinder 12. Specifically, the two long legs 11 are provided at one end of the cup tray 1, the side where the two long legs 11 face each other is the inner side, and the cylinder 12 is provided on the inner side of the long legs 11.

[0036] An oblique groove is provided on opposite sides of one end of the bracket 2, and the cylinder 12 is movably clamped in the corresponding oblique groove. Specifically, the oblique groove is provided on two opposite outer sides of the bracket 2 in the horizontal direction.

[0037] The bracket 2 is further provided with an elastic piece 5 , and a protrusion 6 is provided at a position of the elastic piece 5 close to the oblique groove. The cylinder 12 is provided with a slot 121 engaged with the protrusion 6 .

[0038] The distance between the spring piece 5 and the mounting groove 31 is smaller than the distance between the oblique groove and the mounting groove 31. Figure 4 Seen from above, the spring piece 5 and the oblique groove are located on both sides of the cylinder 12 respectively.

[0039] Optionally, in this embodiment, one end of the spring piece 5 is mounted on the bracket 2, the other end of the spring piece 5 is freely arranged, and the protrusion 6 is arranged on the other end of the spring piece 5. Optionally, the spring piece 5 can be fixed to the bracket 2 by screws, bolts or rivets, or fixed to the bracket 2 by welding.

[0040] Optionally, in this embodiment, the protrusion 6 is a hemispherical protrusion, and correspondingly, the locking groove 121 is configured as an arc-shaped groove. The shape and size of the protrusion 6 match those of the locking groove 121.

[0041] The oblique groove includes a connected arc groove 21 and an oblique groove 22 . The diameter of the arc groove 21 matches the diameter of the cylinder 12 . The oblique groove 22 is inclined upward from the end close to the cup tray 1 to the end close to the mounting groove 31 .

[0042] In the coffee machine cup tray flip structure of the present invention, the arc-shaped groove 21 of the bracket 2 holds the cylinder 12 on the long leg 11, so that the cylinder 12 can rotate inside the arc-shaped groove 21, and the cup tray 1 can be flipped smoothly. Figure 4 As shown, when the cup tray 1 is turned over to the horizontal state, the protrusion 6 on the spring piece 5 contacts the cylindrical surface of the cylinder 12, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, when the cup tray 1 is flipped to a vertical state, the protrusion 6 on the spring piece 5 abuts against the slot 121 of the cylinder 12, and the oblique slot 22 of the bracket 2 blocks the cylinder 12 on the long leg 11 of the cup tray 1, so that the cup tray 1 cannot fall out upward.

[0043] Furthermore, a limit block 7 is provided on each of the two opposite sides of one end of the bracket 2. A buffer member 8 is provided on the limit block 7. The buffer member 8 can abut against the long leg 11 to limit the downward rotation of the cup plate 1.

[0044] Optionally, in this embodiment, the limit block 7 is an L-shaped limit block, which includes a horizontal plate 71 and a vertical plate 72 that are perpendicular to each other, and the buffer member 8 is arranged on the horizontal plate 71. In actual use, the horizontal plate 71 is in a horizontal state. Among them, a step hole 711 is provided on the horizontal plate 71, and the buffer member 8 includes an axis body 81 and shoulders 82 and a buffer plate 83 provided at both ends of the axis body 81. The shoulder 82 is provided at a position where the diameter of the step hole 711 is large, and the buffer plate 83 extends out of the step hole 711 and can be abutted against the long leg 11. Among them, the diameter of one end of the step hole 711 is larger than the diameter of the other end, and the diameter of the end of the step hole 711 close to the upper surface of the horizontal plate 71 (the upper surface of the long leg 11) is large. The lower surface of the buffer plate 83 abuts against the upper surface of the long leg 11 to control the cup tray 1 from continuing to rotate downward after reaching a horizontal state.

[0045] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the cup tray flipping structure of the coffee machine in the present invention, through the combined action of the buffer member 8 and the protrusion 6 on the spring 5, allows the cup tray 1 to rotate within an angle range of 80° to 180°. It only requires reasonable setting of the connection relationship and parameters between the oblique groove, the cylinder 12 and the protrusion 6.

[0046] The other end of the bracket 2 is disposed in a mounting groove 31 ; the mounting groove 31 is located on the body 3 of the coffee machine.

[0047] A hook 23 is provided at the other end of the bracket 2 , and correspondingly, a notch (not shown) that engages with the hook 23 is provided in the mounting groove 31 .

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, the cup tray flip structure of the coffee machine in the present invention, the setting of the limit block 7 and the buffer member 8 prevents the cup tray 1 from rotating further downward, so that the cup tray 1 can be in a horizontal position; at this time, small coffee cups can be placed on it;

[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, the arrangement of the oblique groove 22 allows the cup tray 1 to be erected and exert an upward pulling force on the cup tray 1, so that the cup tray 1 can be pulled out from the oblique groove 22 of the bracket 2. In other words, the cup tray 1 can be disassembled. After the cup tray 1 is disassembled, the cup tray 1 can be cleaned and replaced. Conversely, the cup tray 1 can be installed back into the bracket 2 through the oblique groove 22.

[0050] In general, the overturning blocking mechanism of the central cup tray 1 of the coffee machine solves the problem that the central cup tray 1 of the coffee machine is prone to tipping over when it is erected.
