[0023] refer to Figures 1 to 2 According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a keypad for a coffee machine is used. It should be noted that the structure of the keypad for a coffee machine is as follows: Figure 1As shown, it includes a plate body 10, which has a plurality of positioning holes 101. The plurality of positioning holes 101 are used to determine the position of the plate body 10. It should be noted that each positioning hole 101 is provided with a positioning assembly 20, wherein the positioning assembly 20 is configured to cooperate with the external positioning column of the external housing to determine the position of the plate body 10. The existing keypad is generally provided with mounting holes on the base plate, and screws are passed through the mounting holes and then threadedly connected to the connecting column on the external housing. Although the above structure can achieve the installation of the keypad in the external housing, in order to improve the installation stability of the keypad, the industry usually provides multiple mounting holes around or in the middle of the base plate. As a result, when the keypad is disassembled and assembled, multiple screws need to be disassembled and assembled, and tools such as screwdrivers are required to complete the installation. At the same time, the screws need to be turned continuously for multiple turns, which is inconvenient to operate. There is also the problem of thread stripping caused by excessive tightening force, which affects the subsequent maintenance and inspection of the electrical product. The advantage of the present invention is that it is quick-release and quick-pull, which avoids the cumbersome installation or disassembly of the above base plate.

[0024] Specifically, each positioning assembly 20 includes a connecting sleeve 21, which has an insertion end and a connecting end. The insertion end is connected to the connecting end, and the insertion end and the connecting end are integrally formed. It should also be noted that the insertion end is threadedly connected to the positioning hole 101, that is, the user can rotate the connecting end so that the connecting sleeve 21 is fixed in the positioning hole 101, and the connecting end is located at the bottom of the plate body 10.

[0025] Furthermore, the connecting sleeve 21 also has an insertion hole 2101, and the insertion hole 2101 passes through the insertion end and the connecting end in sequence. It should also be noted that each of the positioning components 20 also includes a movable rod 22, one end of the movable rod 22 passes through the insertion hole 2101 and is located at the bottom of the plate body 10, while the other end of the movable rod 22 is located at the top of the plate body 10 and is spaced a predetermined distance from the plate body 10.

[0026] In addition, Figure 2As shown, the end of the connecting end facing away from the insertion end has a mounting hole 2102, and the mounting hole 2102 has a large hole and a small hole, the large hole is connected to the small hole, and the small hole is connected to the insertion hole 2101. Specifically, a first magnetic block 23 is provided in the small hole, and the first magnetic block 23 is an annular magnetic block. The end of the movable rod 22 passes through the first magnetic block 23. It should also be noted that the insertion rod is a metal material that reacts with the magnetic block, and a second magnetic block 24 is also fixed to the end of the movable rod 22 located at the bottom of the plate body 10. The connection method of the above-mentioned first magnetic block 23 and the small hole can be implemented as an adhesive connection, and the connection method of the second magnetic block 24 and the end of the movable rod 22 can be implemented as a screw connection, thereby limiting the position of the second magnetic block 24.

[0027] It should be noted that an elastic member 25 is also sleeved on the movable rod 22, one end of the elastic member 25 rests on the bottom wall forming the large hole, and the other end rests on the second magnetic block 24. Specifically, since the above-mentioned movable rod 22 can be adsorbed on the first magnetic block 23, the user can limit the position of the second magnetic block 24 by pushing and pulling the movable rod 22. At the same time, due to the provision of the elastic member 25, the user can conveniently press down the movable rod 22. In addition, due to the extrusion force of the elastic member 25, the movable rod 22 is not easily moved up a predetermined distance due to external force.

[0028] It should be noted that each of the connection ends is connected to an external connection column 100, wherein the structure of the external connection column 100 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, a connection hole is provided on the top, and a third magnetic block 200 is fixed in the connection hole, wherein the connection end is inserted into the connection hole, and the plate body 10 is pressed against the connection column 100. At the same time, the connection end is separated from the third magnetic block 200 by a predetermined distance, thereby reserving space for the subsequent movement of the second magnetic block 24. Specifically, when the user presses the movable rod 22, the second magnetic block 24 will be attracted to the third magnetic block 200, thereby limiting the position of the connecting sleeve 21 at that location. Conversely, the user can pull the movable rod 22 to separate the second magnetic block 24 from the third magnetic block 200, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the plate body 10.

[0029] In summary, the keypad for a coffee machine according to the embodiment of the present application is explained, which provides the keypad for a coffee machine with advantages such as convenient assembly and disassembly, simple structure, and high practicality.

[0030] It is worth mentioning that in the embodiments of the present application, the coffee machine keypad has a simple structure, does not involve complex manufacturing processes and does not require expensive materials, and is highly economical. Furthermore, for manufacturers, the coffee machine keypad provided in the present application is easy to produce and is low-cost, which is more conducive to controlling production costs and further facilitating product promotion and use.
