Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage production technology, and in particular to a powder brewing component. Background Technology
[0002] To maximize the extraction rate of coffee grounds during brewing, the brewing and extraction process typically requires a certain pressure. However, leaks during brewing can easily cause pressure to become unsustainable. Therefore, new puck brewing components are needed to address this issue. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0004] This utility model provides a powder brewing component, including:
[0005] The placement base is provided with a placement slot for placing powder compacts, and a water outlet is provided on the bottom side of the placement slot;
[0006] A flip cover is rotatably connected to the placement base, and the flip cover is provided with a first water inlet hole;
[0007] A pressure cap is located on the side of the flip cover facing the placement slot. The pressure cap is movably connected to the flip cover. The pressure cap includes a water inlet surface facing the flip cover and a water outlet surface facing the placement slot. A closed water inlet cavity is formed between the pressure cap and the flip cover. The pressure cap is provided with a second water inlet hole that connects the water inlet surface and the water outlet surface. The area of the water inlet surface is larger than the area of the water outlet surface. When the pressure cap rotates to the bottom with the flip cover, the pressure cap and the placement slot form a closed brewing cavity. The second water inlet hole connects the water inlet cavity and the brewing cavity.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Water enters the brewing chamber through the first and second inlet holes, and flows out through the outlet hole after brewing is completed; the powder cake brewing component of this utility model is equipped with a flip-top and a pressure cap. When the flip-top rotates to the point where the pressure cap contacts the placement slot, a closed brewing chamber is formed. When water is continuously supplied to provide pressure to the brewing chamber, the area of the inlet surface is larger than the area of the outlet surface. The resultant force of the water pressure on the pressure cap is directed towards the placement slot to ensure that the pressure of the closed brewing chamber is continuously provided. Since the flip-top and the pressure cap are movably connected, even if the flip-top becomes loose, the pressure cap can always keep the brewing chamber closed, which more reliably guarantees the pressure during the brewing process and is conducive to improving the quality and reliability of brewing.
[0009] As a sub-solution of the above technical solution, an annular rib is provided on the water outlet surface, and a first sealing groove is provided on the side of the annular rib facing the placement groove. A first sealing ring is provided in the first sealing groove. When the cap rotates to the bottom with the flip-top, the cap, the first sealing ring, and the placement groove form the brewing chamber. By setting the first sealing ring, the sealing performance of the placement groove can be improved, which is beneficial to maintaining a high water pressure for brewing the coffee cake.
[0010] As a sub-solution of the above technical solution, the flip cover has a receiving groove on the side facing the pressure cover, the pressure cover is located in the receiving groove, and the pressure cover moves along the opening direction of the receiving groove. The receiving groove provided on the flip cover conveniently limits the movement space of the pressure cover.
[0011] As a sub-solution of the above technical solution, the outer wall of the cap is provided with a second sealing groove, and a second sealing ring is provided in the second sealing groove. The outer side of the second sealing ring abuts against the inner wall of the flip cover, and the second sealing ring is used to seal the gap between the cap and the flip cover. Setting the second sealing ring to seal the gap between the cap and the flip cover reduces water leakage and helps maintain a high water pressure for brewing the flour cake.
[0012] As a sub-solution of the above technical solution, a forming groove is provided on the water outlet surface. The forming groove is arc-shaped and recessed away from the placement groove. The arc shape of the forming groove can better fit the shape of the powder cake and improve the brewing effect.
[0013] As a sub-solution of the above technical solution, the forming groove is provided with a pressing platform extending toward the placement groove in the middle. By setting the pressing platform, when the cap and the placement groove form a closed brewing cavity, the pressing platform can squeeze the top side of the powder cake, reinforce the powder cake, and stabilize the shape of the powder cake in the brewing cavity.
[0014] As a sub-solution of the above technical solution, the outer edge of the pressing platform facing the placement groove is provided with a rounded corner, and the outer end of the rounded corner is connected to the forming groove. The rounded corner on the outer edge of the pressing platform makes it less likely to break the powder compact when it comes into contact with it.
[0015] As a sub-solution of the above technical solution, the second water inlet is located on the pressure plate. With the second water inlet on the pressure plate, water is first injected into the portion of the coffee cake reinforced by the pressure plate, resulting in better brewing performance.
[0016] As a sub-solution of the above technical solution, the water inlet surface of the cap is provided with a protruding post facing away from the placement groove, and a groove is provided on the side of the protruding post away from the placement groove, with the first water inlet hole facing the groove. With the first water passage hole facing the groove, when water is supplied, water enters from the first water inlet hole and first impacts the groove, causing the cap to press tightly against the placement groove, which helps to improve the airtightness of the brewing chamber.
[0017] As a sub-solution of the above technical solution, the coffee pouch brewing assembly also includes a water outlet filter, which is disposed on the bottom surface of the placement tank. The water outlet filter ensures pressure within the brewing chamber while reducing the leakage of coffee grounds from the water outlet.

[0031] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the directional or positional relationship based on the directional or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0033] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0034] The following combination Figures 1 to 5 The embodiments of this utility model are described below.
[0035] This invention relates to a coffee pouch brewing assembly, used to brew a coffee pouch containing powder by adding water, thereby obtaining the corresponding beverage. The powder in the pouch can be coffee powder, tea powder, milk powder, or other powders or crumbs used to prepare the beverage. Specifically, in this embodiment, the coffee pouch brewing assembly is used to brew a coffee pouch.
[0036] The puck brewing unit is used in conjunction with a coffee machine. The coffee machine has a brewing tank into which the puck brewing unit is inserted. After the puck brewing unit is inserted into the brewing tank, the handle on the coffee machine is pressed down, and then the water pump of the coffee machine is started, and water enters the puck brewing unit for brewing.
[0037] Existing cake brewing assemblies typically include a flip-top 2 and a base 1. When the flip-top 2 is flipped to its bottom (closest to the base 1), a brewing chamber 10 for brewing the cake is formed between the flip-top 2 and the base 1. After the cake brewing assembly is placed in the brewing tank, since there is inevitably a gap between the cake brewing assembly and the brewing tank, during pressure brewing (i.e., brewing that requires a certain pressure), the force of the water pressure on the flip-top 2 may push the flip-top 2 away from the base 1, causing water leakage in the brewing chamber 10 and making it impossible to maintain pressure.
[0038] The powder brewing component provided in this embodiment includes:
[0039] The placement base 1 is provided with a placement groove 11 for placing powder compacts, and the bottom side of the placement groove 11 is provided with a water outlet;
[0040] The flip cover 2 is rotatably connected to the placement base 1, and the flip cover 2 is provided with a first water inlet hole 21;
[0041] The pressure cap 3 is located on the side of the flip cover 2 facing the placement groove 11. The pressure cap 3 is movably connected to the flip cover 2. The pressure cap 3 includes a water inlet surface 301 facing the flip cover 2 and a water outlet surface 302 facing the placement groove 11. The pressure cap 3 and the flip cover 2 form a closed water inlet cavity 20. The pressure cap 3 is provided with a second water inlet hole 322 that connects the water inlet surface 301 and the water outlet surface 302. The area of the water inlet surface 301 is larger than the area of the water outlet surface 302. When the pressure cap 3 rotates to the bottom with the flip cover 2, the pressure cap 3 and the powder cake placement groove 11 form a closed brewing cavity 10. The second water inlet hole 322 connects the water inlet cavity 20 and the brewing cavity 10.
[0042] In use, water enters the inlet chamber 20 through the first inlet hole 21, then enters the brewing chamber 10 through the second inlet hole 322, and flows out through the outlet hole after brewing. Depending on the programmed settings, the water temperature and the time the water remains in the brewing chamber 10 may vary. Furthermore, coffee brewing typically requires brewing under pressure to improve the extraction of coffee grounds and enhance coffee quality.
[0043] In this embodiment, the water inlet surface 301 refers to the surface of the water inlet cavity 20 facing the flip cover 2. When water pressure is applied to the water inlet surface 301, it will exert pressure on the cover 3 towards the placement groove 11. The water outlet surface 302 refers to the surface of the placement groove 11 facing the placement groove 11. When water pressure is applied to the water outlet surface 302, it will exert pressure on the cover 3 away from the placement groove 11.
[0044] When the flip cover 2 rotates until the pressure cap 3 contacts the placement groove 11, a closed brewing chamber 10 is formed. When water is continuously supplied to provide pressure to the brewing chamber 10, the area of the water inlet surface 301 is larger than the area of the water outlet surface 302. The resultant force of the water pressure on the pressure cap 3 is directed towards the placement groove 11 to ensure that the pressure cap 3 is continuously supplied with pressure to close the brewing chamber 10. Since the flip cover 2 and the pressure cap 3 are movably connected, even if the flip cover 2 becomes loose, the pressure cap 3 can always keep the brewing chamber 10 closed, which more reliably guarantees the pressure during the brewing process and is conducive to improving the quality and reliability of the brewing.
[0045] The water outlet surface 302 is provided with an annular rib, and a first sealing groove 34 is provided on the side of the annular rib facing the placement groove 11. A first sealing ring 4 is provided in the first sealing groove 34. When the pressure cap 3 rotates to the bottom with the flip cap 2, the pressure cap 3, the first sealing ring 4 and the placement groove 11 form the brewing chamber 10. By setting the first sealing ring 4, the sealing of the placement groove 11 can be ensured, which is conducive to maintaining a high water pressure for brewing the flour cake.
[0046] Furthermore, the flip cover 2 has a receiving groove 20 on the side facing the pressure cover 3, and the pressure cover 3 is located in the receiving groove 20, and the pressure cover 3 moves along the opening direction of the receiving groove 20. The receiving groove 20 provided on the flip cover 2 conveniently limits the moving space of the pressure cover 3.
[0047] The outer wall of the cap 3 is provided with a second sealing groove 35, and a second sealing ring 5 is provided in the second sealing groove 35. The outer side of the second sealing ring 5 abuts against the inner wall of the flip cover 2. The second sealing ring 5 is used to seal the gap between the cap 3 and the flip cover 2. Setting the second sealing ring 5 to seal the gap between the cap 3 and the flip cover 2 reduces water leakage and helps maintain a high water pressure for brewing the powder cake. At the same time, the second sealing ring 5 also enables the cap 3 and the flip cover 2 to be movably connected. When no external force is applied, the flip cover 2 and the cap 3 are kept fixed by the elastic force provided by the second sealing ring 5. When an external force is applied (in this embodiment, the pressure generated by water pressure), the cap 3 can move within the receiving groove 20 of the flip cover 2. The second sealing ring 5 is fixed in the second sealing groove 35 of the cap 3, which can ensure that the second sealing ring 5 and the cap 3 remain relatively fixed when the cap 3 moves.
[0048] In addition to the second sealing ring 5, the flexible connection between the pressure cap 3 and the flip cap 2 can also be achieved by designing the dimensions between the pressure cap 3 and the flip cap 2 as a transition fit, so that the two can remain sealed and move with each other.
[0049] To improve the brewing effect, a forming groove 31 is provided on the water outlet surface 302. The forming groove 31 is arc-shaped and recessed away from the placement groove 11. The arc shape of the forming groove 31 can better fit the shape of the powder cake, disperse the pressure of the cap 3 on the powder cake, and the powder cake is not easily damaged under pressure, thereby improving the brewing effect of the powder cake.
[0050] To further improve the brewing effect, a pressing platform 32 is provided in the middle of the pressing groove 31, extending towards the placement groove 11. By setting the pressing platform 32, when the pressing cap 3 and the placement groove 11 form a closed brewing chamber 10, the pressing platform can squeeze the top side of the powder cake, reinforcing the powder cake and stabilizing its shape within the brewing chamber 10. Simultaneously, after reinforcing the powder cake, the pressure of water injection into the powder cake can be increased, improving the brewing effect.
[0051] The outer edge of the pressing platform facing the placement groove 11 is provided with a rounded corner 321, and the outer end of the rounded corner 321 is connected to the forming groove 31. The rounded corner 321 on the outer edge of the pressing platform makes it less likely to break the powder compact when the outer edge of the pressing platform comes into contact with the powder compact.
[0052] Furthermore, the second water inlet 322 is located on the pressure plate. With the second water inlet 322 located on the pressure plate, water is first injected into the part of the coffee cake that is reinforced by the pressure plate, which is beneficial for fully extracting the coffee cake from the reinforced part, resulting in a better brewing effect.
[0053] Furthermore, the water inlet surface 301 of the cap 3 is provided with a protruding post 33 protruding away from the placement groove 11, and a groove 331 is provided on the side of the protruding post 33 away from the placement groove 11. The first water inlet hole 21 is directly opposite the groove 331. When water is supplied, water enters from the first water inlet hole 21 and first impacts the groove 331, causing the cap 3 to press tightly against the placement groove 11, which helps to improve the airtightness of the brewing chamber 10.
[0054] Furthermore, the coffee pouch brewing assembly also includes a water outlet filter 6, which is disposed on the bottom surface of the placement tank 11. The water outlet filter 6 increases the pressure in the brewing chamber 10, homogenizes the pressure on the coffee pouch, and reduces the leakage of coffee powder from the water outlet.
[0055] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. However, this invention is not limited to the embodiments described.

All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this invention.
