[0043] The operation principle of the structure of the bean bin 101 is as follows:

[0044] In the initial state, the bean preservation mechanism 102 of the bean bin is in a closed state, and the coffee beans 110 have not fallen;

[0045] The mass of the required coffee beans 110 is set, the piston 104 is moved to a set position by the piston driving interval, and the set position determines the required bean outlet volume;

[0046] At this time, the preservation driving mechanism 106 is actuated to open the bean bin preservation mechanism 102, and the coffee beans 110 begin to fall, causing the coffee beans 110 to fall to fill the required bean outlet volume, and the preservation driving mechanism 106 drives the bean bin preservation mechanism 102 to close;

[0047] The piston driving assembly moves the piston 104 to a position fully exposing the bean outlet 202, and the bean outlet 202 can completely discharge the coffee beans 110 in the required bean outlet volume to the collector 109, and when the coffee beans 110 are completely discharged, a bean outlet cycle is completed.

[0048] Further, the coffee beans 110 mass is calculated as follows:

[0049] The space between the end face of the piston 104 and the bottom face of the bean bin preservation mechanism 102 is calculated, and the volume of the coffee beans 110 that can be accommodated in the bean bin passage 103 at this time is obtained, and the mass of the coffee beans 110 entering the bean bin passage 103 at this time is obtained through the calculation formula mass = density * volume.

[0050] In summary, the present application can accurately control the volume of beans each time, thereby accurately controlling the weight of coffee beans 110 required for each cup of beverage, so that the coffee powder ground each time is consistent in weight, thereby achieving the consistency of the taste of each cup of coffee, and the bean bin 101 is sealed and preserved, and after each time of bean outlet is completed, the bean bin 101 can be immediately closed and preserved by the safety mechanism.
