[0026] In order to further understand the content, features and effects of the present invention, the following embodiments are given as examples and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0027] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the present invention is a capsule beverage brewing device, comprising: a main body 1, the main body 1 is provided with a first capsule inlet 11, a brewing head 12, a brewing cup 13 that can cooperate with the brewing head 12 to form a closed brewing chamber, and a capsule identification device 14, the capsule identification device 14 is located above the brewing head 13; a capsule support frame 2, the capsule support frame 2 is slidably connected to the main body 1 and can move up and down relative to the main body 1, the capsule support frame 2 is provided with a second capsule inlet 21; a sliding cover 3, the sliding cover 3 is slidably connected to the main body 1 and can open the first capsule inlet 11 or close the first capsule inlet 11; a guide frame 4, one end of the guide frame 4 is slidably connected to the capsule support frame 2, and the sliding cover 3 is fixedly connected to the guide frame 4. Compared with the prior art, the capsule beverage brewing device of the present invention is more convenient when the sliding cover 3 opens the first capsule inlet 11 (such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown), the capsule support frame 2 is directly opposite to the capsule identification device 14 (as shown Figure 3 As shown), at this time, a capsule is put into the first capsule entrance 11, and the capsule enters the second capsule entrance 21 through the first capsule entrance 11 and is supported by the capsule support frame 2. The capsule and the capsule recognition device 14 are also opposite to each other. At this time, the capsule recognition device 14 can recognize the capsule and then transmit the recognition result to the control unit. The control unit matches the corresponding brewing mode according to the recognition result (capsule recognition, recognition result transmission and matching corresponding brewing mode are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here); then the sliding cover 3 is slid to close the first capsule entrance 11 (as shown in FIG. Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown), the sliding cover 3 drives the guide frame 4 to move to the left during the sliding process, and the guide frame 4 moves to the left and drives the capsule support frame 2 to move downward so that the brewing head 12 is facing the capsule of the capsule support frame 2 (as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown in FIG, when the brewing cup 13 moves toward the brewing head 12, the capsule will leave the capsule support frame 2 and enter the brewing cup 13. The brewing head 12 cooperates with the brewing head 12 to form a closed brewing chamber. The capsule is completely surrounded by the closed brewing chamber, and the capsule identification device 14 is outside the closed brewing chamber formed by the brewing cup 13 and the brewing head 12, which effectively reduces the heat transfer to the capsule identification device 14, and the coffee liquid will not flow to the capsule identification device 14. The coffee liquid will not block the capsule identification device 14 and affect the recognition of the capsule identification device 14, which has the advantages of improving the service life of the capsule identification device and effective recognition.

[0028] Furthermore, a first guide slot 15 is provided on each side of the main body 1, and a first slide post 22 is provided on each side of the capsule support frame 2. The first slide post 22 can be inserted into the first guide slot 15 and slidably connected to the capsule support frame 2. Two first slide posts 22 are provided on each side. The first guide slot 15 is a straight guide slot, which ensures that the capsule support frame 2 can move up and down smoothly and with the shortest possible travel distance.

[0029] Specifically, a second guide groove 41 is provided on each side of the guide frame 4, and a second slide post 23 is provided on each side of the capsule support frame 2, which can be inserted into the second guide groove 41 and slidably connected to the guide frame 4. The second guide groove 41 is an arc-shaped guide groove, with the left end of the second guide groove 41 being higher than the right end. When the sliding cover 3 is in the position of opening the first capsule inlet 11, the second slide post 23 is at the left end of the second guide groove 41 (such as Figure 2 As shown), when the sliding cover 3 is in the position of closing the first capsule entrance 11, the second sliding post 23 is at the right end of the second guide groove 41 (as shown Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the sliding cover 3 drives the guide frame 4 to move leftward during the process of sliding from opening the first capsule inlet 11 to closing the first capsule inlet 11. The guide frame 4 moves leftward so that the second slide post 23 of the capsule support frame 2 slides in the second guide groove 41. Since the left end of the second guide groove 41 is higher than the right end, the second slide post 23 drives the capsule support frame 2 to move from top to bottom when sliding from the left end to the right end. The movement of the capsule support frame 2 from top to bottom is guided by the first slide post 22 sliding from top to bottom in the first guide groove 15. In principle, when the sliding cover 3 slides from closing the first capsule inlet 11 to opening it, it drives the guide frame 4 to move rightward. This rightward movement of the guide frame 4 causes the second slide post 23 of the capsule support frame 2 to slide within the second guide groove 41. Because the left end of the second guide groove 41 is higher than the right end, the second slide post 23 slides from the right end low point to the left end high point, driving the capsule support frame 2 from bottom to top. The upward movement of the capsule support frame 2 is guided by the first slide post 22 sliding from bottom to top within the first guide groove 15. The arcuate guide groove facilitates smooth and stable relative movement between the guide frame 4 and the capsule support frame 2.

[0030] A bracket 16 is fixed to the upper end of the main body 1. Two third guide slots 17 and two fourth guide slots 18 are provided on either side of the bracket 16. The two third guide slots 17 are located on the left half of the bracket 16, and the two fourth guide slots 18 are located on the right half. Two third slide posts 31, which extend into the third guide slots 17 and slidably connect to the bracket 16, and two fourth slide posts 32, which extend into the fourth guide slots 18 and slidably connect to the bracket 16, are provided on either side of the sliding cover 3. The third slide posts 31 are located on the left end of the sliding cover 3, and the fourth slide posts 32 are located on the right end. The two third guide slots 17 and the two fourth guide slots 18 work in conjunction with the third slide posts 31 and the fourth slide posts 32 to ensure that the sliding cover 3 maintains close contact with the bracket 16, preventing it from tilting relative to the bracket 16. If only the third guide slot 17 is provided to cooperate with the third slide post 31, the right side of the slide cover 3 is free of constraints, and the slide cover 3 can be rotated and tilted about the third slide post 31. Similarly, if only the fourth guide slot 18 is provided to cooperate with the fourth slide post 32, the left side of the slide cover 3 is free of constraints, and the slide cover 3 can be rotated and tilted about the fourth slide post 32. The bracket 16 also has a slide slot 19, and the guide frame 4 has a slider 42 that can extend into the slide slot 19, be fixedly connected to the slide cover 3, and slide within the slide slot 19.

[0031] More specifically, a micro switch 10 is provided on one side of the main body 1, and a trigger block 43 that can squeeze the micro switch 19 is provided on one side of the guide frame 4. When the trigger block 43 squeezes the micro switch 19 to close the micro switch 19, the brewing cup 13 moves toward the brewing head 12 after the micro switch 19 is closed, and the capsule leaves the capsule support frame 2 and enters the brewing cup 13 and cooperates with the brewing head 12 to form a closed brewing chamber for brewing coffee.

[0032] In addition, capsule support blocks 25 (such as Figure 4 As shown, when the sliding cover 3 opens the first capsule inlet 11, a capsule can be placed on the capsule support block 25 of the capsule support frame 2 through the first capsule inlet 11. The brewing cup 13 moves toward the brewing head 12, causing the capsule to enter the brewing cup 13 and simultaneously squeeze the capsule support block 25, causing the capsule support block 25 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 24 and move outward, allowing the capsule to disengage from the capsule support block 25 and fully enter the brewing cup 13. A push button 33 is provided on the sliding cover 3. The push button 33 facilitates pushing the sliding cover 3 to open or close the first capsule inlet 11. The sliding cover 3 is slid back and forth relative to the frame 16 by the user pushing the push button 33.
