[0029] After using the coffee machine for a period of time, the water tank assembly needs to be disassembled for cleaning. However, when disassembling the existing water tank assembly from the coffee machine, it is necessary to remove the water tank cover and disassemble the water tank body in sequence, which is not convenient.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The coffee machine with a water tank according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a base 100 and a water tank assembly 200. The base 100 is provided with a mounting groove 110; the water tank assembly 200 comprises a water tank body 210 and a water tank cover 220. The water tank body 210 is detachably inserted into the mounting groove 110. The water tank body 210 is provided with a water storage tank 211. The water tank cover 220 is movably connected to the water tank body 210 and can move to an open position and a closed position. The water tank cover 220 is located at the notch end of the mounting groove 110. In the open position, the water tank cover 220 opens the notch of the water storage tank 211; in the closed position, the water tank cover 220 closes the notch of the water storage tank 211; when the water tank cover 220 moves in a direction away from the mounting groove 110, it can drive the water tank body 210 to separate from the mounting groove 110.

[0031] When the coffee machine is in normal use and the water tank assembly 200 needs to be filled with water, the water tank cover 220 is moved from the closed position to the open position, so that water can be added to the water storage tank 211 of the water tank body 210, and then the water tank cover 220 is restored to the closed position; when the coffee machine needs to disassemble the water tank assembly 200 for cleaning, the user can pull the water tank cover 220 to move the water tank cover 220 in a direction away from the mounting groove 110. During this period, the water tank cover 220 can drive the water tank body 210 to be pulled out of the mounting groove 110, so that the entire water tank assembly 200 can be disassembled at one time, making the removal process of the water tank assembly 200 from the coffee machine more convenient.

[0032] In this embodiment, the base 100 is provided with a guide portion. When the water tank cover 220 is in the open position and the water tank body 210 is inserted into the mounting groove 110, the guide portion can abut against the water tank cover 220 and drive the water tank cover 220 to the closed position. After the water tank assembly 200 is disassembled and cleaned, the water tank body 210 needs to be reinserted into the mounting groove 110 of the base 100. During this time, the guide portion of the base 100 can automatically return the water tank cover 220 to the closed position, thereby preventing the water in the water storage tank 211 from being contaminated if the water tank cover 220 is forgotten to be closed. The water tank assembly 200 is more convenient to use.

[0033] In this embodiment, the water tank cover 220 is provided with a mounting strip 221, which is provided with a strip-shaped hole 222. The water tank body 210 is provided with a connecting shaft 212, which is slidably provided in the strip-shaped hole 222 along the length direction of the strip-shaped hole 222. The water tank cover 220 is rotatably connected to the water tank body 210 via the connecting shaft 212. When the water tank cover 220 is in the closed position, the length direction of the strip-shaped hole 222 is the same as the depth direction of the mounting groove 110. When the water tank cover 220 needs to be opened, the water tank cover 220 is pulled in the direction of the strip-shaped hole 222, and then the water tank cover 220 can be rotated to a certain angle to open the notch of the water storage tank 211. When the water tank cover 220 moves in a direction away from the mounting groove 110, the connecting shaft 212 will slide along the strip hole 222 and eventually reach one end of the strip hole 222. Then, the wall of the strip hole 222 will push the connecting shaft 212, thereby pushing the water tank body 210 to move and pull out of the mounting groove 110. The water tank cover 220 and the water tank body 210 are movably connected through the above-mentioned structure, so that the water tank cover 220 and the water tank body 210 can remain connected, so that the water tank body 210 can be pulled out of the mounting groove 110 by lifting the water tank cover 220. This is relatively convenient to use and is conducive to the rapid disassembly of the water tank assembly 200.

[0034] Furthermore, the water tank cover 220 can also remain connected to the water tank body 210, thereby avoiding the risk of losing the water tank cover 220.

[0035] In this embodiment, the mounting strip 221 is located outside the water tank body 210. The sidewall of the mounting groove 110 is provided with a guide groove 120. The guide groove 120 extends along the depth direction of the mounting groove 110, and the mounting strip 221 is located within the guide groove 120. When the water tank assembly 200 is inserted into the mounting groove 110, if the water tank cover 220 is not in the closed position, the length direction of the mounting strip 221 is not parallel to the depth direction of the mounting groove 110. In this case, one end of the guide groove 120 can abut the mounting strip 221, allowing the mounting strip 221 to rotate until its length direction is aligned with the depth direction of the mounting groove 110, allowing the water tank cover 220 to be inserted into the mounting groove 110 along with the water tank body 210. The guide portion, which is the guide groove 120, has a simple structure. When the water tank body 210 is installed in the mounting groove 110, the water tank cover 220 can be stably returned to the closed position. It is conceivable that the guide portion can also be other structures. For example, the guide portion is two blocks. During the process of inserting the water tank body 210 into the installation groove 110, the installation bar portion 221 can abut against the blocks to drive the installation bar portion 221 to swing until the length direction is the same as the depth direction of the installation groove 110, so that the water tank body 210 can be smoothly inserted into the installation groove 110.

[0036] Mounting bars 221 are provided on opposite sides of the water tank cover 220, and connecting shafts 212 are provided on opposite sides of the water tank body 210, with the connecting shafts 212 corresponding to the mounting bars 221. The mounting bars 221 connect the two sides of the water tank cover 220 to the connecting shafts 212 on both sides of the water tank body 210. When the water tank body 210 is lifted by the water tank cover 220, the connection between the two is relatively stable and has a relatively high connection strength, without affecting the rotation of the water tank cover 220 relative to the water tank body 210.

[0037] In this embodiment, one end of the connecting shaft 212 is connected to the side wall of the water tank body 210, and a limit block 213 is provided at the other end of the connecting shaft 212. The strip-shaped hole 222 is a through hole. The limit block 213 and the side wall of the water tank body 210 limit the position of the mounting strip 221 on both sides along the direction of the connecting shaft 212. By providing the limit block 213 at the other end of the connecting shaft 212, the limit block 213 and the side wall of the water tank body 210 jointly limit the position of the mounting strip 221, so that the mounting strip 221 does not move along the direction of the connecting shaft 212, thereby avoiding the risk of the mounting strip 221 accidentally detaching from the connecting shaft 212. The connection strength between the water tank cover 220 and the water tank body 210 is high, and the connection is relatively stable.

[0038] In the embodiment, the length of the stop block 213 is greater than the width of the strip hole 222, and the width of the stop block 213 is less than the width of the strip hole 222. The water tank cover 220 and the water tank body 210 are manufactured separately. During assembly, the water tank cover 220 is first rotated until the length direction of the strip hole 222 is the same as the length direction of the stop block 213. Since the width of the stop block 213 is now less than the width of the strip hole 222, the installation strip 221 can pass over the stop block 213 and enter between the stop block 213 and the side wall of the water tank body 210. The water tank cover 220 can then be rotated to another angle. At this time, since the length of the stop block 213 is greater than the width of the strip hole 222, the installation strip 221 can no longer pass over the stop block 213, so that the stop block 213 can limit the installation strip 221. The above structure simplifies the production and assembly process of the water tank cover 220 and the water tank body 210, reducing manufacturing costs.

[0039] It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the movable connection between the water tank cover 220 and the water tank body 210 can also be other structures. For example, the water tank body 210 is provided with a slide groove, and the water tank cover 220 is provided with a slide bar, the slide bar is slidably connected to the slide groove, and the extension direction of the slide groove is perpendicular to the depth direction of the installation groove 110. The water tank cover 220 can slide to open or close the notch of the water storage tank 211 of the water tank body 210, and when the water tank cover 220 moves in a direction away from the installation groove 110, the water tank body 210 is also driven out of the installation groove 110 by the slide bar and the slide groove.

[0040] In the embodiment, handle grooves 223 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the water tank cover 220. The handle grooves 223 are provided so that the user can reach into the handle grooves 223 with his hands and lift the water tank cover 220, which is relatively convenient to use.

[0041] In this embodiment, a water outlet valve is provided at the bottom of the water tank 211. The coffee machine is equipped with a heating module, which is connected to the water outlet valve via a connecting pipe. When the coffee machine needs to brew coffee, the water outlet valve can be opened to send water to the heating module, which then heats the water and finally uses the hot water to brew coffee. When the water outlet valve is closed, fresh water can be stored in the water tank 211.

[0042] In this embodiment, the water tank body 210 is transparent. This makes it easier to observe the internal state of the water tank 211, allowing for quick identification of whether the water tank assembly 200 needs cleaning and for observing the remaining water level in the water tank 211. Specifically, the water tank body 210 can be made of a transparent plastic material or a transparent glass material.

[0043] Specifically, the water tank assembly 200 is also equipped with a water level sensor for detecting the water level in the water storage tank 211 .
