Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model applies to the technical field of powder distributors, and particularly relates to electric powder distributors. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, various high-quality foreign products are being introduced into China, such as coffee. As coffee varieties continue to evolve, coffee products are becoming increasingly popular with consumers. The coffee-making process involves complex steps, including harvesting, roasting, grinding, distributing, and extraction of coffee beans. Currently, coffee beans are primarily ground using a coffee grinder, which offers advantages such as high efficiency and speed, meeting the needs of both commercial and home use. After grinding, the coffee grounds are collected in the portafilter and then distributed and tamped by a distributor. Currently, coffee grounds are primarily dispensed and tamped manually using traditional distributors. During the dispensing process, due to the small size of the coffee particles, they tend to accumulate in the center or edges of the portafilter as they exit the grinder. When tamped using a traditional distributor, the dispensing needles easily collide with this accumulated grounds, causing coffee to spill out and remain on the portafilter's edge. This results in poor sealing of the portafilter's edge during extraction, potentially leading to pressure loss and a decline in coffee flavor during high-pressure extraction. These traditional distributors can only tamp the grounds after dispensing, making them inefficient and unsuitable for the needs of commercial coffee shops. Furthermore, they require a designated storage area, and haphazard placement can lead to slippage or injury to the operator. A simple, electrically operated distributor that integrates dispensing and tamping operations, vibrates synchronously during dispensing to prevent grounds accumulation, and features a quick-release design for easy needle replacement based on portafilter type or dispensing requirements would solve these problems.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the present invention includes a powder dispenser frame 1 and a rotating module 2. The lower end of the powder dispenser frame 1 engages with the outer edge of the portafilter bowl in the outer handle. The rotating module 2 includes a rotary motor 3 and a rotating ring 4. The powder dispenser frame 1 is provided with a feed inlet 5, and the feed inlet 5 is provided with a sliding groove 6. The rotating ring 4 is slidably engaged with the sliding groove 6. The rotary motor 3 is mounted on the powder dispenser frame 1 and rotates in conjunction with the rotating ring 4. The rotating ring 4 is provided with a powder dispensing needle module. Therefore, the movable end of the rotary motor 3 is provided with a synchronous gear, which meshes with the rotating ring 4 to drive the rotating ring 4 to rotate stably within the sliding groove 6, and simultaneously drives the coffee powder on the powder dispensing needle module to engage with the coffee powder in the portafilter bowl in the outer handle, making the coffee powder more fluffy and evenly distributed, resulting in more stable coffee extraction and better flavor.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in this embodiment, several sets of support columns 7 are provided on the outer side of the powder distributor frame 1. These support columns 7 are engaged with the handle end of the external handle, and each set of support columns 7 is provided with a mounting groove 8. Therefore, the several sets of support columns 8 are evenly distributed on the outer side of the powder distributor frame 1. The motor, battery, and other components are integrated into the support columns 7 through the mounting grooves 8. This results in a simpler overall design. Furthermore, the several sets of support columns 7 are of the same height, providing support and allowing for flexible placement according to the operator's habits, making it more convenient.

A power supply 9 is provided in the mounting groove 8 on one set of support columns 7, and the power supply 9 is connected to the rotary motor 3 for electrical conduction. Therefore, the power supply 9 is connected to the rotary motor 3 for electrical conduction, driving the rotary motor 3 to operate. The mounting groove 8 prevents the rotary motor 3 and the power supply 10 from being exposed outside the powder distributor frame 1.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a vibration motor 10 is installed in the mounting groove 8 on one of the support columns 7, and the vibration motor 10 is connected to the power supply 9. Therefore, the vibration motor 10 is connected to the power supply 10 and provides vibration to the powder distributor frame 1, causing the coffee powder in the powder holder to vibrate and distribute evenly.

[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the powder dispensing needle module includes a cantilever beam needle holder 11 and a plurality of powder dispensing needles 12. The cantilever beam needle holder 11 is disposed inside the rotating ring 4, and the plurality of powder dispensing needles 12 are disposed at the lower end of the cantilever beam needle holder 11. Therefore, the cantilever beam needle holder 11 drives the plurality of powder dispensing needles 12 to rotate inside the coffee bowl to achieve the powder dispensing operation.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the cantilever beam needle holder 11 includes a synchronizing ring 111 and a deflecting frame 112. The synchronizing ring 111 has several elastic buckles 113 on its outer side, and the rotating ring 4 has several limiting grooves 13 on its inner side. The elastic buckles 113 and the limiting grooves 13 engage in limiting cooperation. Several powder-applying needles 12 are located at the lower end of the deflecting frame 112. Therefore, the cantilever beam needle holder 11 is a quick-release design, allowing for vertical placement and removal. During rotation, lateral forces will not cause the cantilever beam needle holder 11 to slip out or fall off. It can be quickly replaced according to the shape, depth, and powder application point of the powder bowl, meeting the operator's usage habits.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the lower end of the powder dispenser frame 1 is provided with a powder bowl contour groove 14, which conforms to the outer edge of the powder bowl end of the external handle. Therefore, the powder bowl contour groove 14 can guide the powder dispenser frame 1 to quickly connect with the powder bowl and prevent lateral sliding. Simultaneously, during the powder dispensing process, the inner diameter of the feed inlet 5 is smaller than the diameter of the powder bowl contour groove 14, preventing contamination of the outer edge of the powder bowl and enhancing the sealing during extraction.

[0028] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the powder bowl contour groove 14 is provided with a plurality of magnetic blocks 15, which cooperate with the powder bowl end of the external handle. Therefore, the plurality of magnetic blocks 15 ensure that the powder dispenser frame 1 is stably connected to the powder bowl, preventing the powder dispenser frame 1 from shifting due to vibration or during powder dispensing.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, several sets of mounting slots 8 are equipped with counterweights 16. Therefore, the reserved mounting slots 8 can be fitted with corresponding counterweights 16 according to the operator's usage habits, making the overall structure more stable.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, an end cap 17 is provided on the upper surface of the powder distributor frame 1. Therefore, the end cap 17 serves to protect the various components.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Before starting the equipment, the operator places the powder dispenser frame 1 on the powder bowl end of the external handle. The two sets of support columns 7 fasten between the powder bowl end and the handle end of the external handle and guide the powder dispenser frame 1 to descend. Several magnetic blocks 15 stably adsorb the outer edge of the powder bowl onto the powder bowl contour groove 14. When the external grinder is started, coffee powder enters the powder bowl through the feed inlet 5. The operator controls the rotary motor 3 and the vibration motor 10 to start via the start switch. The vibration motor 10 transmits vibration to the powder bowl to make the coffee powder in the powder bowl evenly distributed. The rotary motor 3 drives the rotating ring 4 to rotate, causing several powder dispensing needles 12 to rotate in the coffee powder, making the coffee powder more fluffy and evenly distributed. After dispensing, the start switch is turned off, the powder dispenser is removed, and the external handle is connected to the external coffee machine to realize the collection of coffee powder and synchronous vibration and rotation of the powder.

[0032] Although the embodiments of this utility model are described with reference to actual solutions, they do not constitute a limitation on the meaning of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, modifications to the implementation schemes and combinations with other schemes based on this specification are obvious.
