Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a cooling device, and more particularly to a cooling device for the valve port of a coffee machine. Background Technology
[0002] A coffee machine is an electrical appliance specifically designed for making coffee. It mixes ground coffee beans with water and then heats and pressurizes the mixture to produce coffee liquid that flows from the machine's valve, thus creating coffee drinks with various flavors and aromas.
[0003] During the use of a coffee machine, the temperature at the valve opening is relatively high, which can accelerate the aging of internal parts and shorten the lifespan of the machine. Furthermore, if the heat accumulated at the valve opening is not dissipated in time, it can lead to the buildup of grease, coffee grounds, and other contaminants. Traditional methods for cooling the coffee machine valve opening, such as air cooling or natural cooling, are often insufficient to achieve ideal heat dissipation.
[0004] Therefore, designing a cooling device for the valve opening of a coffee machine is particularly important. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional coffee machine valves, which are prone to dirt accumulation and component aging due to high valve temperatures, the technical problem of this utility model is to provide a coffee machine valve cooling device.
[0006] The technical implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows: a coffee machine valve cooling device includes a coffee machine body, a first liquid guide pipe, a second liquid guide pipe, a third liquid guide pipe, a cooling pipe, a pump, and an annular hose. The first liquid guide pipe is rotatably connected to the liquid outlet pipe of the coffee machine body. The second liquid guide pipe is fixedly connected to the end of the first liquid guide pipe away from the coffee machine body. The third liquid guide pipe is fixedly connected to the end of the second liquid guide pipe away from the first liquid guide pipe. The cooling pipe is fixedly connected to the coffee machine body. The first liquid guide pipe and the second liquid guide pipe are disposed inside the cooling pipe and are movably connected to the cooling pipe. The cooling pipe is provided with openings for inlet and outlet of coolant. A pump is installed on the cooling pipe. The pump is connected to the inside of the cooling pipe through the annular hose.
[0007] More preferably, a separatory funnel is fixedly connected inside the first liquid guide tube.
[0008] More preferably, a fixing tube is fixedly connected inside the second liquid guide tube, and a liquid separator is fixedly connected inside the fixing tube.
[0009] More preferably, a gear ring is fixedly connected to the first liquid guide tube, a small motor is installed on the cooling tube, and the output shaft of the small motor is connected to a gear, which meshes with the gear ring.
[0010] More preferably, an acceleration rod is rotatably connected inside the cooling tube near the opening.
[0011] More preferably, a rotating vertical rod is fixedly connected to the end of the acceleration rod, and the rotating vertical rod is located at the opening of the cooling pipe.
[0012] This invention has the following advantages: 1. By utilizing the circulating flow of coolant within the cooling pipe, this invention absorbs and carries away the heat dissipated from the first and second liquid guide pipes, achieving efficient cooling of the coffee liquid and the coffee machine valve. Simultaneously, the coffee liquid is dispersed through the distributing hopper and distributing plate, increasing the heat dissipation area and further improving the cooling effect.
[0013] 2. This utility model drives the liquid guide tube to rotate by starting a small motor, so that the coffee liquid falls in a spiral shape under the action of centrifugal force when it flows downward, which prolongs the movement path of the coffee liquid, thereby increasing the self-heating time of the coffee liquid and further improving the cooling effect.
[0014] 3. By lowering the temperature of the coffee machine's valve, the aging rate of internal parts is slowed down, extending the machine's lifespan. Simultaneously, this design reduces the failure rate of the coffee machine due to high temperatures, improving the stability and reliability of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, terms such as "setting," "installing," "connecting," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0025] Example: A cooling device for the valve port of a coffee machine, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the system includes a coffee machine body 1, a first liquid guide tube 2, a second liquid guide tube 4, a third liquid guide tube 5, a cooling tube 6, a pump 7, and an annular hose 8. The first liquid guide tube 2 is rotatably connected to the liquid outlet tube of the coffee machine body 1. The second liquid guide tube 4 is fixedly connected to the end of the first liquid guide tube 2 away from the coffee machine body 1. The third liquid guide tube 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the second liquid guide tube 4 away from the first liquid guide tube 2. The cooling tube 6 is fixedly connected to the coffee machine body 1. The first liquid guide tube 2 and the second liquid guide tube 4 are disposed inside the cooling tube 6 and movably connected to it. The cooling tube 6 has openings for inlet and outlet of coolant. The pump 7 is installed on the cooling tube 6 and is connected to the interior of the cooling tube 6 through the annular hose 8. Here, the first liquid guide tube 2... A liquid guide tube 2 is fixedly connected to a liquid separator 3, and a fixed tube 9 is fixedly connected to a liquid guide tube 4. A liquid separator 10 is fixedly connected to a liquid separator 9. When coffee liquid flows into the device, it first enters the first liquid guide tube 2 and is dispersed by the liquid separator 3. Dispersing the coffee liquid increases the heat dissipation area, thereby accelerating the self-cooling of the coffee liquid. Then, the coffee liquid enters the second liquid guide tube 4 and is further dispersed by the liquid separator 10, further improving the self-cooling effect. Subsequently, the coffee liquid flows out from the third liquid guide tube 5. In the above process, the coffee liquid cools down on its own, reducing the impact on the valve port that is in contact with the coffee liquid and preventing the valve port temperature from becoming too high, thereby achieving a certain degree of cooling effect.
[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, a gear ring 13 is fixedly connected to the first liquid guide tube 2, and a small motor 11 is installed on the cooling tube 6. The output shaft of the small motor 11 is connected to a gear 12, which meshes with the gear ring 13. When the small motor 11 is started, it drives the output shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the gear 12 to rotate. The gear 12 then drives the meshing gear ring 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the first liquid guide tube 2, which is fixedly connected to the gear ring 13, to rotate. This ultimately causes the first liquid guide tube 2, the second liquid guide tube 4, and the third liquid guide tube 5 to rotate, so that the coffee liquid is subjected to centrifugal force when it flows downward. The coffee liquid descends along the inner wall of the first liquid guide tube 2, the second liquid guide tube 4, and the third liquid guide tube 5, thus extending the movement path of the coffee liquid and increasing the self-heating time of the coffee liquid, thereby further improving the cooling effect.
[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, an acceleration rod 15 is rotatably connected inside the cooling pipe 6 near its opening. A rotating vertical rod 14 is fixedly connected to the end of the acceleration rod 15. The rotating vertical rod 14 is located at the opening of the cooling pipe 6. Here, the rotating vertical rod 14 and the acceleration rod 15 located at the opening of the cooling pipe 6 cause the coolant to rotate through its own flow during the process of entering and exiting the cooling pipe 6. The rotating vertical rod 14 drives the acceleration rod 15 to rotate. Thus, the rotating vertical rod 14 and the acceleration rod 15 agitate the coolant inside the cooling pipe 6, thereby accelerating the flow of the coolant and improving the heat dissipation rate of the coolant.
[0028] This device can be used when a coffee machine is needed. During operation, it cools the coffee machine's valve opening. When coffee flows into the device, it first enters the first guide tube 2 and is dispersed by the distributor 3. This dispersion increases the heat dissipation area of the coffee, accelerating its self-cooling. The coffee then enters the second guide tube 4 and is further dispersed by the distributor plate 10, further enhancing its self-cooling effect. Finally, the coffee flows out through the third guide tube 5. During this process, a suitable amount of coolant is injected into the annular hose 8, which then enters the cooling tube 6. The pump 7 is then activated, circulating the coolant within the annular hose 8 and the cooling tube 6. The cooling pipe 6 absorbs the heat dissipated from the first liquid guide pipe 2 and the second liquid guide pipe 4 through the coolant inside. Then, the coolant inside the cooling pipe 6 is driven by the liquid pump 7 to flow to the outside of the cooling pipe 6, and dissipates the absorbed heat during the external flow. Afterward, the coolant is pumped back into the cooling pipe 6 by the liquid pump 7 to repeat the above work, thereby achieving the cooling effect of the device, effectively preventing the accumulation of dirt such as grease and coffee grounds, and avoiding the problem of component aging, thus extending the service life of the device.

The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of the present application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of the present application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present application.
