A center column 131 is provided in the middle of the limiting drive groove 136, and a limiting groove 132 is provided around the center column 131.

[0061] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 The drive connector 33 also includes an upper toggle plate 15, which is disposed in the limit drive groove 136 of the powder gate gear 13. The upper toggle plate 15 is generally annular and has a fifth central hole 151. A ring groove 152 is provided at the top of the upper toggle plate 15. The ring groove 152 is used to accommodate the powder gate spring 14. A guide rib 153 is provided in the fifth central hole 151. The guide rib 153 cooperates with the limit groove 132. A toggle boss 154 is also provided at the bottom of the upper toggle plate 15.

During use, the upper toggle plate 15 is embedded in the powder gate gear 13, thereby reducing space occupancy.

[0062] The synchronous limiting structure 30 is equipped with a powder gate spring 14, which is arranged in the limiting driving groove 136 of the powder gate gear 13. The bottom of the powder gate spring 14 is located in the annular groove 152 of the upper toggle plate 15, and the powder gate spring 14 plays a limiting role in the annular groove 152 of the upper toggle plate 15.

[0063] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 The drive connector 33 also includes a lower dial plate 16, which is disposed in the limited drive slot 136 of the powder gate gear 13. The lower dial plate 16 is fixedly connected to the powder dropping rocker arm 17. A dial slot 164 is provided at the top of the lower dial plate 16. The lower end of the dial boss 154 is provided with a guide slope that cooperates with the dial slot 164. The dial slot 164 and the dial boss 154 are engaged. The dial boss 154 cooperates with the dial slot 164 to enhance the connection stability between the upper and lower dial plates. The lower dial plate 16 is generally annular in shape. A stepped hole 163 is provided in the middle of the lower dial plate 16, a sixth center hole 162 is provided at the bottom of the lower dial plate 16, and a sixth positioning column 161 is also provided at the bottom of the lower dial plate 16. During use, the lower dial plate 16 is embedded in the powder gate gear 13, reducing space occupancy.

[0064] Reference Figure 7 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 The center column 131 of the powder gate gear 13 is fixedly connected to the lower dial plate 16 and the rocker arm 17 through the stepped hole 163, the sixth center hole 162, and the seventh center hole 173 of the powder dropping rocker arm 17. The rocker arm 17 is provided with a positioning hole 174 that cooperates with the sixth positioning column 161. The powder dropping rocker arm 17 extends toward the powder gate 20 to form a drive arm. The drive arm is provided with a waist-shaped hole 172. The pin 19 passes through the waist-shaped hole 172 and the circular hole 201 of the powder gate 20 respectively. During the rotation of the powder dropping rocker arm 17, the waist-shaped hole 172 makes way for the pin 19, thereby realizing the control of the powder gate 20 by the rotation of the powder dropping rocker arm 17.

[0065] Reference Figure 13 and Figure 14 The powder door 20 is provided with a surface 202 , on which a circular hole 201 is provided. The circular hole 201 is fixedly connected to the rocker arm 17 via a pin 19 .

[0066] In a preferred example, the

[0067] There are two limiting holes 112 and two third positioning columns 134;

[0068] There are two limiting grooves 132 and two guide ribs 153;

[0069] There are six shifting bosses 154 and six shifting slots 164.

[0070] There are four sixth positioning posts 161 and four positioning holes 174 .

[0071] When the driving motor 12 is in operation, it drives the driving connector 33 to rotate, thereby driving the powder door 20 to move through the rocker arm 17 to achieve the closing or opening of the powder inlet 30.

[0072] In the initial state, the six toggle bosses 154 are respectively located in the six toggle slots 164 , and the lower ends of the toggle bosses 154 are provided with guiding inclined surfaces that cooperate with the toggle slots 164 . When the drive motor 12 rotates forward, the toggle boss 154 first abuts the toggle slot 164 through the guide inclined surface, and then drives the lower toggle plate 16 and the powder dropping rocker arm 17 to rotate, thereby driving the powder door 20 to move to close the powder dropping port 300. When the powder dropping port 300 is closed, the drive motor 12 continues to rotate forward. At this time, the powder dropping rocker arm 17 is stationary relative to the powder dropping port 300 and cannot continue to rotate with the drive motor 12. The upper toggle plate 15 overcomes the elastic force of the powder door spring 14 under the guiding action of the guide inclined surface and slides upward relative to the limit groove 132, so that the toggle boss 154 disengages from the toggle slot 164 and continues, and then drives the connecting member 33 to continue to rotate with the drive motor 12; when the drive motor 12 is reversed, the drive motor 12 drives the powder dropping rocker arm 17 to rotate through the toggle boss 154 and the toggle slot 164, thereby driving the powder door 20 to open the powder dropping port 300.

[0073] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 15 and Figure 16 The powder dropping assembly 1 is provided with a powder dropping bracket 18, and the powder dropping bracket 18 is equipped with a fixing column 181 and a first mounting hole 182. The fixing column 181 cooperates with the hole 122 of the motor 12, and the powder dropping assembly 1 and the motor 12 are fixedly connected. The sliding groove where the powder door 20 slides is formed by two slide groove accessories 21 that cooperate with the powder dropping bracket 18. The slide groove accessories 21 are fixedly connected to the second mounting hole 400 of the powder dropping bracket 18 by screws. The opposite sides of the two slide groove accessories 21 are provided with a stepped slide groove frame 61. When the two slide groove accessories 21 are fixedly connected to the powder dropping bracket 18, the sliding groove required for the powder door 20 to slide is formed between the two slide groove frames 61 and the outer side wall of the bottom of the powder dropping bracket 18.

[0074] Furthermore, the powder drop opening 300 is extended downward to form a closed frame. The distance between the bottom of the closed frame and the chute frame 61 is adapted to the thickness of the powder door 20, so that when the powder door 20 slides to the powder drop opening 300, it can close the powder drop opening 300. The arrangement of the chute accessory 21 and the chute frame 61 forms a sliding groove for the powder door 20 to slide between the chute frame 21 and the outer side wall of the bottom of the powder drop bracket 18, restricting the powder door 20 so that it can move within the sliding groove.

[0075] Reference Figure 11The powder dropping bracket 18 is also provided with a touch switch 22, and the pin 19 is provided with a contact 200. When the powder door 20 is opened, the touch switch 22 senses the contact 200, and the system knows that the powder door 20 has been opened, and controls the drive motor 12 to stop rotating.

[0076] Reference Figure 3 The spray mechanism 2 includes an annular spray trough 201 disposed on the powder drop bracket 18 and a spray head 202 cooperating with the spray trough 201. The notch of the spray trough 201 faces downward, and a water inlet pipe is connected to the top of the spray trough 201. The spray head 202 is annular and encloses the spray trough 201 to form a spray water chamber. The spray head 202 is slidably connected to the spray trough 201, that is, the spray head 202 rotates relative to the powder drop bracket 18 through the spray trough 201. External hot water enters the spray water chamber through the water inlet pipe and then enters the brewing chamber of the coffee machine from the spray water chamber. The rotation of the spray head 202 realizes the rotational spraying of the coffee powder in the brewing chamber. The powder drop bracket 18 is fixedly connected to the drive motor 12. The powder gate gear 13 can drive the spray mechanism 2 to rotate and spray hot water, thereby fully brewing the coffee powder.

[0077] In another preferred embodiment, the present application also provides a coffee machine, in which the powder door device is configured.

[0078] By adopting the above technical solution, the working principle of the powder door device is as follows: the powder door spring 14 is arranged in the limit drive groove 136 of the powder door gear 13, the powder door spring 14 is located on the annular groove 152 of the upper toggle plate 15, the upper toggle plate 15 is arranged in the limit drive groove 136 of the powder door gear 13, the guide rib 153 cooperates with the limit groove 132, the upper toggle plate 15 moves up and down along the limit groove 132, the lower toggle plate 16 and the rocker arm 17 are installed on the powder door gear 13, ensuring that the seventh center hole 173, the sixth center hole 162, the step hole 163 and the center column 131 are aligned and fixed.

[0079] During the installation process of the powder door device, the powder door spring 14 is installed into the limit driving groove 136 of the powder door gear 13, and then the upper toggle plate 15 is put into the limit groove 132 of the powder door gear 13, and then the lower toggle plate 16 is installed on the powder door gear 13 to ensure that the upper toggle plate 15 is engaged with the lower toggle plate 16, and then the rocker arm 17 is installed on the sixth positioning column 161 of the lower toggle plate 16 to ensure that it is locked. The upper toggle plate 15 can move up and down by the elastic force of the powder door spring 14, and the rocker arm 17 can realize a certain stroke of back and forth operation under the drive of the lower toggle plate 16, so that the powder door 20 is closed and opened.

[0080] When the drive motor 12 rotates forward, the lower toggle plate 16 is driven to rotate by the toggle boss 154 and the toggle slot 164, and the lower toggle plate 16 drives the powder dropping rocker arm 17 to rotate to drive the powder door 20 to close the powder dropping port 300; when the powder dropping port 300 is closed, the drive motor 12 continues to rotate forward, and at this time the powder dropping rocker arm 17 no longer rotates, that is, the lower toggle plate 16 no longer rotates, then the toggle boss 154 overcomes the elastic force of the powder door spring 14 under the action of the guide slope and the toggle slot 164 and slides along the limit groove away from the lower toggle plate 16; when the drive motor 12 is reversed, the lower toggle plate 16 is driven to rotate by the toggle boss 154 and the toggle slot 164, and the lower toggle plate 16 drives the powder dropping rocker arm 17 to rotate to drive the powder door 20 to open the powder dropping port 300. At the same time, the driving motor 12 rotates to drive the powder gate gear 13 to rotate, and the powder gate gear 13 can drive the spray shower 202 of the spray mechanism 2 to rotate and spray hot water, thereby fully brewing the coffee powder.

[0081] The powder door gear 13 drives the spray shower 202 of the spray mechanism 2, and the powder falling rocker arm 17 can drive the powder door 20. The drive of the powder door 20 and the drive of the rotary spray are both completed by a synchronous motor. One motor completes the drive that originally required two motors, reducing the number of drive motors configured in the coffee machine, thereby saving space and production costs. The coffee powder door can be closed and opened with simple operations, which plays the role of sealing water vapor and fully spraying and brewing, achieving efficient closing and opening of the powder door and high-quality sealing and sufficient brewing, improving the utilization efficiency of the coffee machine's motor, and thus improving the brewing efficiency and quality of coffee.

[0082] 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.
