[0028] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 The utility model is further described in detail with examples.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] A multifunctional funnel for use in a coffee machine includes a handle 1 and a funnel 2. The handle 1 is detachably mounted on the funnel 2, and the two are fastened together by screws. The funnel 2 is provided with a chamber 20 for accommodating a coffee capsule compartment. The inner wall of the end of the chamber 20 is provided with an annular slot 21. A retaining ring 3 for limiting the position of the coffee powder compartment is installed within the slot 21. The inner end of the retaining ring 3 protrudes from the inner wall of the chamber 20. The coffee powder compartment is placed on the funnel 2 via the retaining ring 3, which is used to support the coffee powder compartment. The retaining ring 3 is provided with a retaining ring notch 31. Due to the provision of the retaining ring notch 31, the retaining ring 3 has a certain degree of elasticity, facilitating the relatively smooth insertion of the retaining ring 3 into the slot 21. The retaining ring notch 31 also serves as a relief, preventing the retaining ring 3 from interfering with the capsule compartment.
[0031] Two positioning blocks 22 for positioning the multifunctional funnel on the coffee machine are provided at the end of the funnel 2 . The positioning blocks 22 are integrally formed on the funnel 2 , and the two positioning blocks 22 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the handle 1 .
[0032] A hopper body notch 23 is provided at the end of the funnel 2. The retaining ring notch 31 overlaps with the hopper body notch 23. The width of the retaining ring notch 31 is equal to or greater than the width of the hopper body notch 23 to prevent the retaining ring 3 from interfering with the capsule compartment.
[0033] The plane where the central axis of the handle 1 is located is the symmetrical plane of the bucket body notch 23. The layout of the bucket body notch 23 and the handle 1 is reasonable and ingenious, which facilitates the positioning of the capsule compartment ear and also makes the multifunctional funnel more regular.
[0034] A drain assembly 4 is installed at the bottom of the chamber 20. The drain assembly 4 includes a drain plate 41, a water outlet frame 42 and a fastening sleeve 43 for sealing the capsule compartment. The outer flange of the drain plate 41 is attached to the outer flange of the water outlet frame 42 and is installed in the slot of the fastening sleeve 43.
[0035] A water outlet cavity 44 is provided between the drain plate 41 and the water outlet frame 42 . The drain plate 41 is provided with a plurality of water holes 411 communicating with the water outlet cavity 44 . The water outlet frame 42 is provided with water outlet holes 421 communicating with the water outlet cavity 44 .
[0036] The fastening sleeve 43 is a fixed sleeve made of a flexible material. The fastening sleeve 43 is made of silicone material. In other embodiments, the fastening sleeve 43 can also be made of food-grade rubber material or other flexible materials. The upper end surface of the fastening sleeve 43 is provided with a sealing groove 431 for positioning and sealing the capsule compartment.
[0037] Example 2
[0038] The features of Example 2 are basically the same as those of Example 1, except that the handle 1 is located at the lower end of the funnel 2, and the bucket body notch 23 is located at the upper end of the funnel 2. The maximum distance a from the handle 1 to the bottom of the funnel 2, and the minimum distance b from the bucket body notch 23 to the bottom of the funnel 2, a<b, and the stability of the multifunctional funnel is better.
