[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be understood that the specific implementation methods described in this specification are only for the purpose of explaining this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0030] As described in the background art, in current coffee machines, there is a certain height between the water receiving tray 180 and the brewing head 121. When a coffee cup with a relatively low height is used for brewing, the brewed liquid may splash out of the coffee cup, causing scalding to the user.

[0031] In response to the above technical problems, the present invention provides a new type of coffee cup. By adding a cup holder, the coffee machine can adapt to coffee cups of various shapes, avoiding liquid splashing and scalding users when brewing coffee.

[0032] For details, see Figure 1 The coffee cup of the present invention includes a coffee machine body 100. The coffee machine body 100 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure with a base 110 at the bottom. Common coffee machine components such as a water tank, a heating component, a pump body, and a circuit structure are arranged inside the body, which will not be described in detail here.

[0033] The coffee machine body 100 has a functional area on the upper front side, and a brewing unit on the lower side of the functional area. Figure 1 The brewing unit includes a brewing head 121, a filter handle 122, a steam pipe 123, and a hot water rod 124. In addition, the front of the functional area is also provided with a steam control knob 130, a hot water control knob 140, a display screen 150, and a plurality of operation buttons 160. Among them, the steam control knob 130 is used to control the discharge of steam in the steam pipe 123, and the hot water control knob 140 is used to control the discharge of hot water in the hot water rod 124.

[0034] The coffee machine body 100 has an operating table 170 on the lower side, and a water receiving tray 180 is provided on the operating table 170. Specifically, a pair of inclined shelves (not shown) are fixed on the operating table 170, and the water receiving tray 180 is placed on the operating table 170 through the pair of inclined shelves. Figure 2 The bottom wall of the water receiving tray 180 is arranged with one side higher and the other side lower, and a water outlet 181 is provided on the lower side.

[0035] A supporting filter element 200 is further provided in the water receiving tray 180 . The supporting filter element 200 has a plurality of filter slots 231 arranged in parallel, and a cup holder 300 is placed on the supporting filter element 200 .

[0036] See Figure 4In the present invention, the cup holder 300 includes two pairs of legs 310, a pair of first support rods 320 transversely connected to the bottom of the two pairs of legs 310, and a pair of second support rods 330 longitudinally connected to the top of the two pairs of legs 310. A shelf 340 is placed on the pair of second support rods 330. The shelf 340 is composed of a plurality of transversely parallel support rods 341. During use, a coffee cup is placed directly on the shelf 340 of the cup holder 300. The gaps between the support rods 341 allow water to flow through and into the water receiving tray 180 via the filter groove 231 on the filter element 200, thereby preventing water from accumulating on the surface of the shelf 340. In some embodiments, both ends of the support rods 341 have a downward bend; the support rods 341 are welded to the pair of second support rods 330 via the bends.

[0037] In the present invention, the middle portions of the pair of first support rods 320 extend downward to form an inverted trapezoidal bend 321. When the cup holder 300 is placed on the filter support 200, the pair of first support rods 320 engage with the filter slots 231. This allows the filter slots 231 on the filter support 200 to provide a relatively stable support for the cup holder 300. Furthermore, this interlocking arrangement allows the cup holder 300 to be easily replaced with other cup holders 300 of varying sizes, heights, and other specifications to accommodate different coffee cups.

[0038] In some preferred embodiments, the legs 310 , the first support rod 320 , and the second support rod 330 in the cup holder 300 are all formed by bending metal wires.

[0039] See Figure 3 The support filter element 200 includes an annular fixing seat 210, a plurality of parallel support rods 220 longitudinally connected to the annular fixing seat 210, and a plurality of parallel cross bars 230 transversely placed on the support rods 220. In this embodiment, the annular fixing seat 210 is a rounded rectangular shape, and the support rods 220 are located above the annular fixing seat 210, with both ends bent downward and fixed to the two long sides of the annular fixing seat 210. The function of the support rods 220 is to fix the cross bars 230 above, so the distance between adjacent support rods 220 is relatively large. Preferably, the two ends of the support rods 220 are fixed to the annular fixing seat 210 by welding.

[0040] The crossbar 230 is located above the support rod 220 and is fixedly connected to the support rod 220. The spacing between the crossbars 230 is small, and the gap between two adjacent crossbars 230 forms a filter groove 231. Preferably, the crossbar 230 is fixed to the support rod 220 by welding.

[0041] See Figure 5In the present invention, when the cup holder 300 is placed on the supporting filter element 200, the first support rod 320 of the cup holder 300 can be embedded in the filter groove 231 between the two adjacent cross bars 230 and supported by the support rod 220 below the cross bar 230; and the bent portion 321 on the first support rod 320 is just engaged between the two adjacent support rods 220, so that the cup holder 300 can be stably supported on the supporting filter element 200, avoiding the cup holder 300 from shaking or tipping over during use.

[0042] See Figure 3 In some embodiments, at least one pair of the plurality of crossbars 230 has a lifting portion 232 formed by bending in opposite directions. With the help of the lifting portion 232, the filter element 200 can be easily taken out of the water receiving tray 180.

[0043] Also, see Figure 1 A coffee cup heating plate 190 is located on top of the coffee machine body 100. This plate is equipped with multiple filter holes 191. Before use, coffee cups can be placed upside down on this heating plate 190 to warm them. After use, washed coffee cups can also be placed on the heating plate 190 to dry them.

[0044] Therefore, the present invention provides a coffee cup that has a new cup holder on the water receiving tray of the coffee machine. Its unique structure allows it to be embedded in the filter slot that supports the filter element, preventing it from shaking or tipping over during use. This cup holder allows the coffee machine to accommodate coffee cups of various shapes, preventing liquid splashing and scalding during coffee brewing.

[0045] In summary, although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, the above preferred embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. A person skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be based on the scope defined by the claims.
