Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gear pumps, in particular to a gear pump used for coffee production. Background Art
[0002] Coffee is divided into two types: espresso and American coffee. Espresso is made by adding water to ground coffee powder. The contact time between water and coffee powder is short, so the taste is richer. During the production process, a gear pump is usually used to mix the ground coffee powder with water and make espresso through high-pressure injection.
[0003] At present, when the gear pump of coffee production is working, the two gears inside it mesh with each other to generate pressure. Therefore, when conveying coffee beans and powder, friction between the gears and the coffee beans will occur, thereby generating a large noise. If workers are in a noisy environment for a long time, their physiological functions will be affected. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a gear pump for coffee production to solve the above problem. Summary of the 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.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown together, this embodiment provides a gear pump for coffee production, which includes a DC motor 1, a magnetic drive coupling 2 installed on the top of the DC motor 1, a pump head 3 installed on the top of the magnetic drive coupling 2, an inlet pipe 4 and an outlet pipe 5 installed on one side of the pump head 3, a driving gear 6 and a driven gear 7 located inside the pump head 3, a top cover 8 installed on the top of the pump head 3, the output end of the DC motor 1 is connected to the driving gear 6, the driving gear 6 and the driven gear 7 are meshed with each other, and a rubber plate 9 is installed on the inner side of the top cover 8. The surface of the rubber sheet 9 is provided with wavy grooves 91, annular grooves 92, circular grooves 93, rectangular grooves 94, and cross-shaped grooves 95. The elasticity of the rubber sheet 9 enables it to absorb vibration energy such as vibration and noise generated by the driving gear 6, the driven gear 7, and the coffee beans, and convert this energy into the elastic potential energy of the rubber itself, thereby minimizing the propagation and transmission of noise. At the same time, the wavy grooves 91, annular grooves 92, circular grooves 93, rectangular grooves 94, and cross-shaped grooves 95 inside the rubber sheet 9 can also reduce noise interference through elastic reflection;
[0028] The wavy groove 91 is located on the outside of the rubber plate 9. The wavy groove 91 is composed of an annular array of V-shaped grooves. Two groups of annular grooves 92 are provided and are located on the inner side of the wavy groove 91. The multiple structures of the wavy groove 91 and the annular groove 92 can increase the friction on the surface of the rubber plate 9 and reduce the transmission of vibration. In summary, the combination of the two can increase the damping effect and sound insulation effect of the rubber plate 9, effectively reducing the noise generated by the gear pump.
[0029] There are two groups of circular grooves 93 and rectangular grooves 94, and both are arranged in an annular array. One group of circular grooves 93 is located between one group of annular grooves 92 and one group of rectangular grooves 94, and the other group of circular grooves 93 is located between the two groups of rectangular grooves 94. The design of the circular grooves 93 can make the rubber sheet 9 more extrudable, reducing the transmission of vibration and the generation of noise. At the same time, the superposition design of a layer of circular grooves 93 and a layer of rectangular grooves 94 can enhance the compressibility and extrudability of the rubber sheet 9, further reducing the transmission of vibration and the generation of noise.
[0030] One set of rectangular grooves 94 is located between the two sets of circular grooves 93 , and the other set of rectangular grooves 94 is located inside the set of circular grooves 93 ;
[0031] The cross-shaped groove 95 is located inside the rectangular groove 94. The design of the cross-shaped groove 95 can enhance the compressibility and extrudability of the rubber plate 9, reduce excessive friction, and make the gear pump more stable and reliable.
[0032] A connecting bolt 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the pump head 3, and a nut 11 is installed on the top of the top cover 8. One end of the connecting bolt 10 passes through the rubber plate 9 and extends to the top of the top cover 8 and is threadedly connected to the nut 11, which can increase the stability of the connection between the top cover 8 and the pump head 3, and thus enable the rubber plate 9 to better play a sound insulation effect.
[0033] A spherical shell 12 is fixedly connected to the inside of the water outlet pipe 5, and a spherical block 13 is movably connected to the inside of the spherical shell 12. Through holes 14 are opened in the inside of the spherical shell 12 and the spherical block 13. Under normal conditions, the two groups of through holes 14 are in the same direction as the water outlet pipe 5.
[0034] The top of the spherical block 13 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 15 , one end of which extends to the top of the spherical shell 12 and is movably connected thereto, so as to facilitate the rotation of the spherical block 13 inside the spherical shell 12 .
[0035] A knob 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 15, and a rubber block 17 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the knob 16, which can facilitate the operator to drive it. At the same time, the setting of the rubber block 17 can also prevent the operator from slipping.
[0036] The rubber blocks 17 are arranged in a ring array.
[0037] During use, the DC motor 1 is started to rotate the driving gear 6, which in turn rotates the driven gear 7, causing coffee beans, water, milk, and other materials to enter the pump head 3 through the water inlet pipe 4. During this process, the driving gear 6 generates power from the rotation of the DC motor 1, and the driven gear 7 rotates along with the driving gear 6 and moves along the wall of the pump chamber, thereby sucking in the fluid in the pump and the water inlet pipe 4 and discharging it through the water outlet pipe 5.
[0038] At the same time, the spherical block 13 can be driven to rotate inside the spherical shell 12 by rotating the knob 16 to adjust the angle between the internal through holes 14 of the spherical block 13 and the internal through holes 14 of the spherical shell 12. When the internal through holes 14 of the spherical block 13 and the internal through holes 14 of the spherical shell 12 are in a horizontal state, the flow rate of the finished product will be maximized. Since the angle between the two sets of through holes 14 is smaller in this state, the liquid can flow more naturally and the flow resistance is smaller. Therefore, in this case, the flow rate of the liquid will be higher. Similarly, when the internal through holes 14 of the spherical block 13 and the internal through holes 14 of the spherical shell 12 are ninety degrees, the flow of the finished product stops. When the angle between the two is an acute angle, the flow of the finished product will be restricted. In summary, by adjusting the flow rate of the finished product inside the water outlet pipe 5, the caffeine water soaking time can be avoided from being too long or too short, thereby reducing coffee waste and improving production efficiency.
[0039] It should be understood that these embodiments are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the technical content of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make various changes, modifications and / or variations to the present invention, and all such equivalent forms also fall within the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
