Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of coffee machines and is a double-channel movable water outlet device of the coffee machine. Background Art

[0002] A coffee machine is an electrical device used to make coffee, generally categorized as semi-automatic or fully automatic. Semi-automatic machines require manual operation for grinding, tamping, filling, brewing, and removing grounds. Fully automatic machines, on the other hand, automate the entire brewing process, including preheating, cleaning, grinding, tamping, brewing, and draining. They follow scientific data and procedures, delivering coffee at the touch of a button. Existing coffee machine outlets typically have a fixed structure and are not adjustable in height. This makes them difficult to adapt to cups or containers of varying heights, and can easily cause safety issues such as splashing, leading to inconvenience. To address this issue, some existing drinking water devices have disclosed solutions with adjustable distances between the water outlet and the water cup. For example, Chinese patent application number 202121487457.1, published on February 1, 2022, is titled "An Intelligent Drinking Water Device with a Water Quality Monitoring Structure." Another example is Chinese patent application number 201821711107.7, published on April 24, 2020, titled "Anti-Splash Heated Water Dispenser." However, the water outlet in these structures is a single outlet. On the one hand, the single-channel structure of existing coffee machines cannot simultaneously meet the dual-outlet requirements of hot water and coffee, making it inconvenient to use. On the other hand, when hot water and coffee share the same channel, the flavors can easily interfere with each other, a problem known as flavor cross-talk, which affects the taste quality of the hot water. Furthermore, the prior art does not disclose a solution for a coffee machine with a dual-channel outlet with adjustable height, leaving room for improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the aforementioned shortcomings, the present invention aims to provide a dual-channel, movable water outlet device for a coffee machine. This device addresses the technical issues of existing similar coffee machines, which suffer from fixed, non-adjustable water outlet heights, lack a dual-channel structure, and are prone to flavor transfer and inconvenience. This objective is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0004] A dual-channel movable water outlet device for a coffee machine, the movable water outlet device comprising a water outlet body and a water outlet movable seat, the water outlet body being fixed to the coffee machine body; the characteristic being that the water outlet movable seat is arranged in the water outlet body to slide vertically and limit position, the top of the water outlet movable seat is sealedly connected to the water outlet upper cover, the water outlet upper cover is provided with a first channel and a second channel, the water outlet movable seat is separated by a partition to form a first inner cavity and a second inner cavity corresponding to the first channel and the second channel respectively, and when the water outlet movable seat is connected to the water outlet upper cover, the top of the first inner cavity is sealed and separated from the top of the second inner cavity, and the bottom of the water outlet movable seat is provided with a first water outlet and a second water outlet corresponding to the first inner cavity and the second inner cavity respectively. The above-mentioned movable water outlet device not only has a separated dual-channel structure, thereby realizing the independent use of coffee and hot water channels without the influence of cross-flavor, but also the movable seat of the water outlet is sliding relative to the water outlet body, which effectively adjusts the height position of the water outlet, is suitable for the water collection height of different drinking utensils, prevents splashing, and is more convenient and safe to use.

[0005] The water outlet body is provided with limiting chutes on both the front and rear sides. The top edge of the water outlet movable seat is provided with a limiting buckle that slides and limits with the limiting chutes. When the water outlet movable seat slides downwardly relative to the water outlet body, the limiting buckle abuts against the bottom of the limiting chutes to limit the position. The water outlet movable seat is provided with outwardly protruding handles on both sides. When the water outlet movable seat slides upward relative to the water outlet body, the handles are limited to the two sides of the bottom of the water outlet body. Through this structure, the sliding limit of the water outlet movable seat relative to the water outlet body is achieved in a relatively stable and reliable manner.

[0006] Vertical guide rail grooves are provided on both sides of the water outlet main body, and sliders are provided on both sides of the water outlet movable seat that vertically slide with the guide rail grooves, and at least two upper and lower wave limiting parts are provided in the guide rail grooves, and the sliders are provided with wave grooves that form a proper fit with the wave limiting parts, that is, when the upper wave limiting part cooperates with the wave groove, the water outlet movable seat slides upward relative to the water outlet main body into position, and when the lower wave limiting part cooperates with the wave groove, the water outlet movable seat slides downward relative to the water outlet main body into position. Through this structure, the stability of the movable seat sliding relative to the water outlet main body is further improved, and it is not easy to get stuck or shake, and the locking fit of the wave limiting part and the wave groove is used to achieve the purpose of locking in position, preventing the water outlet movable seat from accidentally sliding, and making it more convenient and stable for users to use.

[0007] The water outlet body is provided with fixing brackets on both sides thereof for fixing to the coffee machine body. One side of the fixing brackets has an upward-opening screw connection port, and the other side has an upward-opening screw operation port. The bottoms of both sides form receiving hoppers for receiving screws. This structure facilitates screw connection and operation, and if a screw falls, it will be caught by the receiving hopper, preventing it from being lost.

[0008] The top of the movable water outlet seat is fixedly connected to the water outlet cover by screws, and a sealing ring is placed between the top of the movable water outlet seat and the water outlet cover. The sealing ring forms three ribs, one of which is sealed with the inner edge of the water outlet cover, and the other two are sealed with the wall of the sealing groove on the top of the movable water outlet seat. This structure ensures an effective seal between the water outlet cover and the movable water outlet seat, preventing leakage and ensuring safe and reliable use.

[0010] The bottom of the first and second inner cavities of the movable water outlet seat are both integrated with flow-guiding buffer sheets. When fluid enters the first and second inner cavities through the first and second channels, it first falls into the flow-guiding buffer sheets before flowing into the corresponding first and second water outlets. This structure effectively buffers and reduces noise for fluid entering the first and second channels, reducing noise during use and improving comfort.

[0011] The first channel and the second channel are both located in the middle of the first and second inner cavities, and the first and second water outlets are arranged in pairs and distributed on both sides of the first and second inner cavities. This structure ensures an effective water flow rate.

[0012] The first channel and the second channel form an outwardly protruding pipe joint relative to the top surface of the water outlet cover. This structure facilitates connection to the fluid pipeline of the coffee machine.

[0013] The back of the water outlet body is provided with a process opening extending upward and downward, and a decorative cover is sleeved onto the exterior of the water outlet body. This structure allows the process opening to impart a certain degree of elastic deformation to the water outlet body, thereby facilitating assembly and disassembly of the movable water outlet seat. The decorative cover not only effectively decorates the water outlet body but also strengthens its structure, preventing the water outlet body from deforming and falling out of the movable water outlet seat.

[0014] The utility model has a reasonable structural design, the water outlet is telescopic as a whole, and adopts an isolated double-channel water outlet structure, which effectively prevents the smell of coffee and hot water from mixing, improves the taste quality of coffee, and the height of the water outlet is easy to adjust, effectively preventing water from splashing, and is convenient, safe and hygienic to use; it is suitable for use as a water outlet device of a coffee machine, and is a structural improvement of similar products.

Specifically, the water outlet body is provided with a limit chute 101 on both the front and rear sides. The top edge of the water outlet movable base is provided with a limit buckle 201 that slides with the limit chute. When the water outlet movable base slides downwardly relative to the water outlet body, the limit buckle and the bottom of the limit chute are abutted and fixed. The water outlet movable base is provided with protruding handles 207 on both sides. When the water outlet movable base slides upwardly relative to the water outlet body, the handles are limited to the two sides of the bottom of the water outlet body. Furthermore, vertical guide rail grooves 102 are provided on both sides of the water outlet main body, and sliders 205 are provided on both sides of the water outlet movable seat, which are vertically slidably matched with the guide rail grooves, and at least upper and lower wave limiting parts 103 are provided in the guide rail grooves, and the sliders are provided with wave grooves 206 that are formed into position with the wave limiting parts, that is, when the upper wave limiting part cooperates with the wave groove, the water outlet movable seat slides upward into position relative to the water outlet main body, and when the lower wave limiting part cooperates with the wave groove, the water outlet movable seat slides downward into position relative to the water outlet main body.

[0026] The top of the movable water outlet seat is fixedly connected to the water outlet cover 3 by screws and a sealing ring 4. The sealing ring forms three ridges, one of which is sealed to the inner edge of the water outlet cover, and the other two are sealed to the wall of the sealing groove at the top of the movable water outlet seat. The water outlet cover is provided with a first channel 301 and a second channel 302. The first and second channels form protruding pipe joints relative to the top surface of the water outlet cover, facilitating the connection of coffee and hot water pipes. The movable water outlet seat is separated by a partition 202 to form a first inner cavity 203 and a second inner cavity 204 corresponding to the first and second channels, respectively. The inner side of the water outlet cover is provided with a groove 303 that forms a tight fit with the top of the partition. When the movable water outlet seat is connected to the water outlet cover, the first inner cavity and the second inner cavity are sealed and separated. The bottom of the movable water outlet seat is provided with a first water outlet 208 and a second water outlet 209 corresponding to the first inner cavity and the second inner cavity, respectively. The bottom of the first and second inner cavities of the outlet seat are both integrated with flow-guiding buffer sheets 210. When fluid enters the first and second inner cavities through the first and second channels, it first falls into the flow-guiding buffer sheets, creating a flow-guiding buffer, before flowing into the corresponding first and second outlets. The first and second channels correspond to the middle of the first and second inner cavities, respectively. The first and second outlets are arranged in pairs, located on either side of the first and second cavities.

[0027] Furthermore, fixing brackets 104 are provided on both sides of the water outlet body for fixing to the coffee machine body. One side of the fixing bracket has an upward-opening screw connection port 1041, and the other side has an upward-opening screw operation port 1042.
