Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage preparation equipment technology, specifically to a body component, a brewing machine, and beverage preparation equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Extracting a high-quality cup of coffee requires considering many elements, among which coffee grounds are one of the most influential. The ratio of coffee grounds to water directly affects the extraction result, which we usually call the extraction rate. Baristas have high requirements for the extraction rate in order to make better coffee.

[0003] To accurately calculate the weight of coffee grounds needed to make each cup, existing coffee machines are equipped with a weighing module. This module includes a separate powder-holding container and a weighing device. After the powder-holding container receives coffee grounds (e.g., those discharged from the grinding cylinder in the grinding module), the weighing device measures the weight of the coffee grounds. The weighed coffee grounds, meeting the required weight, are then transferred to the brewing cylinder of the brewing module for extraction. This process requires careful planning of the installation and movement space for both the powder-holding container and the brewing cylinder, which can easily lead to a complex overall machine structure.

[0052] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a body component for use in beverage preparation equipment. The body component includes a brewing module 100 and a weighing device 200. The brewing module 100 includes a testing section, which at least includes a brewing container 110 for receiving powder. The weighing device 200 is connected to the testing section to obtain the weight of the powder received by the brewing container 110 by weighing the testing section.

[0053] In the technical solution provided by this utility model, the part to be tested includes a brewing container 110. By setting a weighing device 200, the part to be tested in the brewing module 100 is weighed directly. On the one hand, it can achieve the purpose of measuring the weight of the powder held by the brewing container 110; on the other hand, it simplifies the setting of at least the powder-holding container in the weighing module of the prior art, greatly simplifies the overall structure of the machine components and reduces the weight of the whole machine; and this application can significantly overcome the disadvantages of mutual interference that may exist when the brewing container 110 and the powder-holding container are set separately and independently in the prior art, which ultimately helps to improve the reliability of the whole machine.

[0054] In this design, the brewing module 100 is a functional module in the beverage brewing equipment used to extract and brew coffee powder and other powders to obtain a coffee beverage. To achieve its function, the brewing module 100 includes at least a brewing container 110, which is, for example, a commonly described brewing cylinder, and has a brewing chamber inside that can receive the powder. The brewing chamber has a feed inlet, which can be located at any position in the brewing chamber, but for ease of understanding, in the following embodiments, the feed inlet is described as being located at the top of the brewing chamber.

[0055] Therefore, the brewing container 110 can be directly configured as a container structure with a closed bottom for the brewing chamber. When powder is introduced into the brewing chamber through the feed inlet, it can accumulate at the bottom of the brewing chamber. Of course, in one embodiment, the brewing container 110 can also be configured to include a container body 111 and a bottom cover. The container body 111 has a channel, and the top opening of the channel constitutes the aforementioned feed inlet. The bottom cover is movably disposed relative to the container body 111, so as to have a first position where it is movable to cover the bottom opening of the channel; when in the first position, the bottom cover closes the bottom of the brewing chamber, and when powder is introduced into the brewing chamber through the feed inlet, it can accumulate on the bottom cover.

[0056] The movement of the bottom cover relative to the container body 111 is not restricted:

[0057] In one embodiment, the bottom cover is mainly disposed on the outside of the container body 111 and located at the bottom end of the container body 111. The bottom cover can be moved to a first position where it is movable to the bottom end of the cover channel opening and a second position where it is movable to the bottom end of the open channel opening by means of lateral translation, vertical translation, lateral rotation along the vertical axis, and vertical flipping along the horizontal axis.

[0058] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the movable travel segment of the bottom cover extends into the channel and is translatable along the channel, having a first position at the bottom channel opening and a second position at the top channel opening.

[0059] Of course, the brewing container 110 may also include a power unit, which is driven to the movable bottom cover to drive the bottom cover to perform the above-mentioned activities.

[0060] In view of the above, the brewing module 100 may also include a brewing mechanism. The specific form of the brewing mechanism is not limited, and it is configured differently depending on the specific function of the beverage brewing equipment used. Taking the brewing container 110, which includes a container body 111 and a bottom lid, as an example:

[0061] The brewing mechanism may include a powder pressing component.

[0062] In one embodiment, the powder pressing assembly includes at least a first piston 121 movably disposed in a direction close to and away from the bottom cover (e.g., vertically), and a first drive unit 122 for driving the first piston 121. Before receiving powder and after the bottom cover is in the first position as described above, the first piston 121 is generally located outside the container body 111 and at least does not obstruct the top channel opening of the channel, i.e., the aforementioned feed inlet, to provide sufficient space for the feed inlet to receive powder. Then, the first drive unit 122 can operate the first piston 121 to extend from the feed inlet into the channel and move toward the bottom cover, gradually pressing the powder received by the bottom cover until the powder is pressed into a powder cake of the required thickness, thus completing the powder pressing operation.

[0063] In another embodiment, when the bottom cover has a stroke section that moves up and down within the channel as described above, the powder pressing assembly includes at least a first piston 121 and a first drive unit 122. When powder pressing is required, the first piston 121 can be configured not to extend into the channel, but to cover the top opening of the channel, i.e., the feed inlet. The bottom cover, driven by, for example, the aforementioned power unit, can move the received powder toward the first piston 121 until the powder is pressed into a powder cake of the required thickness, thus completing the powder pressing operation. Alternatively, the first piston 121 can extend into the channel as in the previous embodiment and gradually move toward the bottom cover. In this case, the bottom cover can also gradually move toward the first piston 121, and the two together press the powder to obtain a powder cake, thus completing the powder pressing operation.

[0064] In this embodiment, the bottom cover can be directly configured as the second piston 123, which is slidable vertically within the channel. Alternatively, the bottom cover and the second piston 123 can be two independently configured structural components. The powder pressing assembly also includes a second driving unit 124, which can be the same structure as the aforementioned power unit, or it can be two independent structures. Driven by the second driving unit 124 and / or the power unit, the second piston 123 and the bottom cover are linked and then move together toward the first piston 121.

[0065] As can be seen from the above, when the first piston 121 moves toward the bottom cover alone; or the bottom cover and / or the second piston 123 moves toward the first piston 121 alone; or at least one of the bottom cover and the second piston 123 moves toward each other with the first piston 121, the powder between the first piston 121 and the bottom cover / second piston 123 can be pressed to obtain a powder cake of the required thickness.

[0066] Next, the brewing mechanism may also include a liquid supply component, which is generally used to introduce a liquid of the required temperature and state into the container body 111, such as hot water, to brew and extract the powder of the required thickness to obtain a beverage.

[0067] Next, the brewing mechanism may also include a liquid extraction component, which is generally used to extract the beverage prepared in the container body 111 to, for example, the beverage output pipe of the whole machine.

[0068] Then, the residue inside the container body 111 needs to be cleaned:

[0069] In one embodiment, when the bottom cover is configured to be movable to open the channel to the second position, the material residue remaining on the inner wall of the channel can be scraped off by operating the first piston 121 from top to bottom and pushed downward out of the channel.

[0070] Alternatively, in one embodiment, when the bottom cover alone constitutes the second piston 123, or when the bottom cover and the second piston 123 are linked together, the material residue remaining on the inner wall of the channel can be scraped off by operating the bottom cover and / or the second piston 123 from bottom to top, and pushed upward to the outside of the channel.

[0071] Based on one or more of the above embodiments, it can be understood that the powder received by the brewing container 110 can be directly external powder. In this case, the beverage equipment used by the brewing module 100 and the weighing device 200 can specifically be a brewing machine, that is, basically only a device that brews and extracts powder to obtain a beverage.

[0072] Of course, the powder received by the brewing container 110 can also be provided by the powder supply module preset in the beverage equipment.

[0073] The powder supply module can be directly configured as a container structure for storing powder. Alternatively, the powder supply module may include a grinding module.

[0074] The grinding module may include, but is not limited to, a grinding cylinder and a grinding mechanism. The grinding cylinder has a grinding chamber inside; the grinding mechanism includes, for example, two relatively movable cutter discs and a first drive assembly that drives at least one cutter disc. A grinding space is formed between the two cutter discs for grinding and crushing granular materials such as coffee beans by piercing, grinding, and tumbling. The inlet end of the grinding module, which is also the inlet end of the grinding cylinder, allows coffee beans to be fed into the grinding space; the outlet end of the grinding module, which is also the outlet end of the grinding cylinder, discharges the ground coffee powder.

[0075] The grinding module can directly feed coffee beans from outside the machine housing. Alternatively, in one application, the feed module may also include a bean hopper. A bean hopper is a container structure that provides space to hold coffee beans. In practice, one or more bean hoppers can be used depending on the needs. When multiple bean hoppers are used, each hopper can be used to store the same type of coffee beans or different types of coffee beans.

[0076] Wherein, as described above, the beverage preparation equipment includes a powder supply module, and the powder supply module specifically includes a grinding module, the beverage preparation equipment can be a device that combines a grinding module, a brewing module 100, and a weighing device 200, such as a fully automatic coffee machine. Alternatively, the beverage preparation equipment can include a coffee grinder and a brewing machine. The coffee grinder includes a grinding module, and the brewing machine includes a brewing module 100 and a weighing device 200. The coffee grinder and the brewing machine are used together.

[0077] When a powder supply module is provided as described above, in one embodiment, the positions of the powder supply module and the brewing module 100 can be kept relatively fixed. For example, the brewing container 110 of the brewing module 100 is maintained below the outlet end of the powder supply module so as to smoothly receive the powder discharged from the powder supply module. Then, at the same position, the weighing device 200 described above can be operated to complete the weighing, and the brewing mechanism described above can be operated to complete the brewing and extraction.

[0078] Alternatively, in one embodiment, the powder supply module remains fixed, while the brewing container 110 in the brewing module 100 is movably disposed relative to the powder supply module, having a powder receiving position movable close to the powder supply module and a brewing position movable away from the powder supply module. Thus, by separating the powder receiving position and the brewing position, sufficient space is provided for the first piston member 121, as described above, to be movable. In this case:

[0079] The weighing device 200 can weigh the powder received by the brewing container 110 in real time while the container is in the powder receiving position, so that the dispensing will stop when the weight of the received powder reaches a preset weight value. The dispensing can be stopped, for example, by controlling the grinding module to stop operating or closing the outlet of the grinding module.

[0080] Alternatively, the weighing device 200 can weigh the powder received by the brewing container 110 during its movement from the powder receiving position to the brewing position, and after it has reached the brewing position, so that the operating status of the weighing device 200 and / or the grinding module can be detected, for example, by judging the difference between its weighed value and the set value.

[0081] Alternatively, once in the brewing position, the powder in the brewing container 110 can be weighed before the brewing mechanism extracts the powder. This ensures the accuracy of the powder's weight before the beverage is actually prepared.

[0082] Specifically, the weighing device 200 generally has a preset weighing mode and a non-weighing mode. The weighing mode can weigh the part to be tested; the non-weighing mode does not affect the powder receiving container 110, but does not weigh the part to be tested. After the weighing device 200 is installed, the user can manually trigger or the preset program can automatically trigger the selection to enable the weighing mode or the non-weighing mode.

[0083] As can be seen from the above one or more embodiments, in addition to the brewing container 110, the brewing module 100 may selectively include, for example, a powder pressing component, a liquid supply component, a liquid extraction component, etc. In addition, in order to achieve a tight and fixed connection between the various components in the brewing module 100, the brewing module 100 may also include mounting parts in the form of plates, blocks, columns, rods, etc.

[0084] Therefore, the part to be measured connected to the weighing device 200 can be the entire brewing module 100. That is, the weight of the powder is indirectly calculated by measuring the total mass of the entire brewing module 100 and the powder held by the brewing container 110. At this time, the weighing mode of the weighing device 200 does not interfere with the activity of the brewing module 100 itself. For example, whether the brewing container 110 is in the powder receiving position or the brewing position, whether the brewing container 110 is in an active state or a stationary state, it does not affect the weighing mode of the weighing device 200.

[0085] Alternatively, the part to be measured connected to the weighing device 200 may be a component including the brewing container 110, such as the brewing container 110, the second piston 123, etc. in the brewing module 100.

[0086] Alternatively, the part to be measured connected to the weighing device 200 may simply be the brewing container 110 itself, that is, the weight of the powder can be indirectly calculated by measuring the total mass of the brewing container 110 and the powder it holds.

[0087] When the entire brewing module 100 constitutes the part to be tested, the weighing device 200 can be either fixedly connected to the part to be tested, or it can be detachably connected to the part to be tested. When only a portion of the brewing module 100 constitutes the part to be tested, the weighing device 200 can be detachably connected to the part to be tested, so that when the weighing device 200 needs to weigh the part to be tested, it is connected to the part to be tested; conversely, when the weighing device 200 does not need to weigh the part to be tested, it is disconnected from the part to be tested, without hindering the brewing module 100 from performing operations such as the extraction described above.

[0088] Similarly, when a portion of the brewing module 100 constitutes the part to be tested, for ease of understanding, the remaining portion of the brewing module 100 other than the part to be tested is named the non-tested part. The part to be tested and the non-tested part are connected in a detachable manner, so that when the weighing device 200 needs to weigh the part to be tested, the part to be tested and the non-tested part are connected; conversely, when the weighing device 200 does not need to weigh the part to be tested, the part to be tested and the non-tested part are separated, without hindering the brewing module 100 from performing operations such as the extraction described above.

[0089] Specifically, the part to be tested can be the brewing container 110, and the part not to be tested includes the brewing mechanism. Before the extraction operation of the brewing mechanism, the brewing container 110 can be at least partially separated from the brewing mechanism, and the weighing device 200 can be connected to the brewing container 110, with the weighing device 200 activating the weighing mode. During or before the extraction operation of the brewing mechanism, the brewing container 110 can be connected to the brewing mechanism, and the weighing device 200 can be separated from the brewing container 110 to avoid the operation of the brewing mechanism affecting the weighing sensitivity of the weighing device 200.

[0090] In practical applications, the weighing device 200 is in weighing mode before the brewing mechanism performs the extraction operation. If the weighing device 200 is detachably connected to the part to be measured, the weighing device 200 is disconnected from the part to be measured before or simultaneously with the extraction operation of the brewing mechanism. If the brewing container 110 is detachably connected to the brewing mechanism, the brewing mechanism performs the extraction operation when the two are connected; and when the two are separated, the brewing container 110 is connected to the weighing device 200 to form the part to be measured independently.

[0091] In a further embodiment, the weighing device 200 extends laterally in an arm-like shape perpendicular to the direction of gravity, and the weighing device 200 also includes a connecting part 210. The connecting part 210 and the weighing part 220 are arranged sequentially in the lateral direction. The connecting part 210 is connected and fixed relative to the container body 111 and / or connected and fixed to the carrier structure in the beverage preparation device.

[0092] The weighing device 200 is generally cantilevered, extending laterally. Its weighing portion 220 and connecting portion 210 are located at opposite ends laterally. Therefore, in practical applications, the weighing portion 220 is connected to the second piston member 123. At least the portion of the second piston member 123 connected to the weighing portion 220 can be suspended vertically below or supported vertically above the weighing portion 220. Similarly, the connecting portion 210 is connected to the container body 111 and / or the second drive portion 124. The portion of the container body 111 and / or the second drive portion 124 that can be connected to the connecting portion 210 can be connected vertically below or vertically above the connecting portion 210.

[0093] When at least the portion of the second piston 123 connected to the weighing unit 220 is supported vertically above the weighing unit 220, the weighing unit 220 is generally configured to measure weight by sensing changes in pressure. When at least the portion of the second piston 123 connected to the weighing unit 220 is suspended vertically below the weighing unit 220, the weighing unit 220 is generally configured to measure weight by sensing changes in tension.

[0094] The portion of the second piston 123 that is connected to the weighing part 220, and the portion of the container body 111 and / or the second drive part 124 / fixed carrier that is connected to the connecting part 210, may be located on both sides of the weighing device 200 in the longitudinal direction, or may be located on the same side of the weighing device 200 in the longitudinal direction.

[0095] However, for ease of understanding, in the following embodiments, the second piston 123 is positioned at least vertically above the weighing part 220, and the container body 111 and / or the second drive part 124 is at least vertically above the connecting part 210. Specifically, in one embodiment, the bottom end of the rod of the second piston 123 is fixedly connected to the weighing part 220.

[0096] It is important to emphasize that in one application, the weighing device 200 is roughly cantilevered. This design, by placing the container body 111 and / or the second drive unit 124 at the connecting part 210, allows the container body 111 and / or the second drive unit 124 to directly apply downward force to the connecting part 210, while only bearing the weight of the powder on the second piston member 123 directly applying downward force to the weighing part 220. Compared to the conventional design where the container body 111 and / or the second drive unit 124 and the second piston member 123 are integrally placed in the weighing part 220, the weighing part 220 in this design essentially does not bear the weight of the container body 111 and / or the second drive unit 124. In this way, the heavier container body 111 and / or the second drive unit 124 can be effectively prevented from causing stress on the weighing unit 220, thereby ensuring that the weighing result of the weighing unit 220 in this design is more sensitive and accurate; and the vibration generated by the container body 111 and / or the second drive unit 124 during operation can be effectively avoided to prevent the measurement deviation of the weighing unit 220, thereby ensuring that the weighing process of the weighing unit 220 in this design is more stable and effective. Furthermore, apart from the direct contact between the weighing unit 220 and the second piston 123, and the direct contact between the connecting part 210 and the container body 111 and / or the second drive unit 124, no other parts come into contact with the weighing device 200, thus minimizing other contacts during the weighing process of the weighing device 200 to ensure the accuracy of the weighing. In addition, in order to effectively prevent the relative movement between the second piston 123 and the container body 111 from affecting the weighing of the weighing part 220, in practical applications, it can be set that the second piston 123 moves into position and remains fixed in the container body 111 before the weighing device 200 starts the weighing mode.

[0097] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
