Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coffee machines, and more specifically, to a coffee machine bean bin structure. Background Art

[0002] The bean hopper is an important component of a coffee machine, usually located on the top or side of the machine. It is a container specifically used to store coffee beans, and its main function is to provide a stable supply of coffee beans to the coffee machine. The bean hopper is generally made of durable materials such as plastic, metal or glass, and has a certain degree of sealing to prevent the coffee beans from getting damp, contaminated or oxidized. The design of the bean hopper usually takes into account the fluidity of the coffee beans and the convenience of discharging the beans. It may be equipped with a bean outlet, adjustment device, moisture-proof device, etc. By connecting to the coffee machine's grinder or brewing system, the bean hopper can deliver the coffee beans to the corresponding part according to the set amount, providing the basis for making delicious coffee.

[0003] After searching, the patent number CN215348399U discloses a coffee machine bean hopper structure that is easy to disassemble and assemble, including a top cover and a bean hopper body. The upper surface of the top cover is recessed downward to form an installation cavity. A through hole is provided at the bottom of the installation cavity. Installation columns are fixed at the four corners of the bottom of the installation cavity. Four limiting holes are provided at the lower end of the bean hopper body. The bean hopper body is fixed in the installation cavity through the limiting holes and the corresponding installation columns, and the outer wall of the bean hopper body is in contact with the side wall of the installation cavity. A funnel-shaped bean hopper is also provided in the bean hopper body. A drop opening is provided at the bottom of the bean hopper. The drop opening is coaxially distributed with the through hole, and the lower end of the drop opening extends into the through hole. The advantage is that the bean hopper can be disassembled and installed without using tools. The disassembled bean hopper can be cleaned and disinfected separately, which completely solves the problem of bean hopper stains and oil stains, provides a clean bean hopper, and thus makes coffee with excellent taste.

[0004] Although the above patent facilitates the installation and disassembly of the coffee machine bean hopper, the bean hopper can only store one type of coffee beans when in use, which makes it difficult to meet the user's needs to make coffee of different flavors at the same time. In addition, it is difficult for the bean hopper to filter out impurities in the coffee beans. Since fine impurities are mixed inside the coffee beans during processing, the impurities will have a negative impact on the taste of the coffee. At the same time, after the impurities enter the grinder, they will cause wear on the grinder's blades and motor, thereby shortening the service life of the coffee machine. Utility Model Content

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application; it is obvious that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-4 A coffee machine bean bin structure includes a bean bin body 1, at least one bean storage box 2 is provided inside the bean bin body 1, and a filter assembly is provided inside each bean storage box 2;

[0031] The filter assembly includes two card plates 3 , and the two card plates 3 have different lengths. The two card plates 3 are used to filter coffee beans.

[0032] Multiple bean storage boxes 2 can meet the user's needs of storing coffee beans of different types or roasting degrees at the same time, making it convenient for users to switch at any time according to different taste preferences, greatly improving the flexibility and diversity of coffee making, and multiple bean storage boxes 2 can efficiently provide personalized coffee choices for different customers, improve service efficiency and customer satisfaction, and increase the practicality and applicability of the coffee machine.

[0033] Reference Figures 1-4 , each bean storage box 2 is provided with a card slot 4 on both sides, and a limit plate 5 is provided on the top side of each card plate 3. The structure of each card slot 4 is adapted to the structure of the corresponding limit plate 5, and each limit plate 5 is respectively plugged into the corresponding card slot 4. A filter screen 6 is provided on one side of each card plate 3, and each filter screen 6 is arranged at an angle. A connecting plate 7 is provided on one side of the bottom end of each card plate 3, and each connecting plate 7 is arranged horizontally. Each connecting plate 7 is respectively located at the bottom of the corresponding filter screen 6, and a bean outlet 8 is provided at the bottom of each bean storage box 2. The bottom of the bean bin body 1 is provided with through openings 9 corresponding to the number of bean storage boxes 2, and each bean outlet 8 is matched with the corresponding through opening 9.

[0034] The coffee beans are filtered by the filter assembly before entering the bean grinder, thereby preventing impurities from being mixed in the coffee beans. The specific filtering method is as follows: when the coffee beans are poured from the upper side of the bean storage box 2 near the shorter card plate 3, the coffee beans fall on the inclined filter screen 6. Since the inner diameter of the filter holes on the filter screen 6 is smaller than the diameter of the smallest coffee beans, the filter holes on the shorter card plate 3 are larger than the filter holes on the longer card plate 3. Due to the different lengths of the two card plates 3, different filtering levels are formed. The filter screen 6 at the inlet mainly intercepts larger impurities, and the filter screen 6 at the outlet can further filter out fine impurities. The inclined filter screen 6 allows the coffee beans to slide down along the filter screen 6 under the action of their own gravity. During the sliding process, fine impurities directly pass through the filter screen 6 and fall onto the connecting plate 7, while the pure coffee beans slide down along the filter screen 6. By pulling the card plate 3 out of the card slot 4, it is convenient to clean the impurities on the connecting plate 7 in the subsequent process.

[0035] The filter component effectively removes impurities that affect the flavor of coffee, making the flavor of each cup of coffee more stable. By intercepting these impurities, the damage to the grinder is reduced and its service life is extended. At the same time, it can ensure that the coffee beans entering the grinder are pure and free of impurities. The produced coffee tastes mellower and more delicate, without the odor and graininess caused by impurities. Consumers can better taste the pure flavor of coffee. The impurities intercepted by the filter mesh 6 will fall on the receiving plate 7. When cleaning is needed, only the card plate 3 needs to be pulled out from the card slot 4 to clean the impurities on the connecting plate 7. The operation is simple and quick.

[0036] Reference Figures 1-6 , a sliding rod 10 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the bean silo body 1 and one side of each bean storage box 2, and a sliding groove 11 is provided on the other side of the inner wall of the bean silo body 1 and the other side of each bean storage box 2, each sliding rod 10 is slidably connected with the corresponding sliding groove 11, and at least one card block 12 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the bean silo body 1 and one side of each bean storage box 2, and grooves 13 corresponding to the number of card blocks 12 are provided on the other side of the inner wall of the bean silo body 1 and the other side of each bean storage box 2, each card block 12 is made of elastic material, and each card block 12 is respectively plugged into the corresponding groove 13 and is interference fit, and a box cover 14 is provided on the top of each bean storage box 2, and a handle 15 is provided on the top of each box cover 14.

[0037] The sliding connection design of the slide rod 10 and the slide groove 11 makes it very easy to install and disassemble the bean storage box 2 in the bean silo body 1. The user only needs to align the slide rod 10 on one side of the bean storage box 2 with the slide groove 11 on the inner wall of the bean silo body 1 and gently push to complete the installation; when disassembling, it is also necessary to pull out the bean storage box 2 along the direction of the slide groove 11. This operation method does not require complicated tools and professional skills, which is convenient for users' daily use and maintenance. The interference fit design of the card block 12 made of elastic material and the groove 13 provides additional fixing force for the bean storage box 2 in the bean silo body 1. When the bean storage box 2 is installed in place, the card block 12 will be tightly inserted into the groove 13 to prevent the bean storage box 2 from shaking or shifting during use, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire structure.

[0038] Working principle: When coffee beans are poured from the upper side of the bean storage box 2 near the shorter card plate 3, the coffee beans fall on the inclined filter 6 when pouring. Since the inner diameter of the filter holes on the filter 6 is smaller than the diameter of the smallest coffee beans, the filter holes of the filter 6 on the shorter card plate 3 are larger than the filter holes on the longer card plate 3. Since the two card plates 3 are of different lengths, different filtration levels are formed. The filter 6 at the inlet mainly intercepts larger impurities, and the filter 6 at the outlet can further filter out fine impurities. The inclined filter 6 allows the coffee beans to slide down along the filter 6 under the action of their own gravity. During the sliding process, fine impurities directly pass through the filter 6 and fall onto the connecting plate 7, while the pure coffee beans slide down along the filter 6. By pulling the card plate 3 out of the card slot 4, it is convenient to clean the impurities on the connecting plate 7.

[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
