DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to further understand the features, technical means and specific purposes and functions reached by the utility model, the utility model is described in further detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 ,Figure 6 and Figure 7 A grinding mechanism for a coffee machine, as shown in FIG. 1, comprises a static grinding wheel 1 and a dynamic grinding wheel 2, the static grinding wheel 1 has a grinding cavity for accommodating the dynamic grinding wheel 2, the cavity wall of the grinding cavity and the outer wall of the dynamic grinding wheel 2 are both provided with grinding teeth, and the dynamic grinding wheel 2 and the static grinding wheel 1 form a grinding gap. It also includes a grinding cylinder 3, a base 4 and a lifting adjustment assembly; the grinding cylinder 3 is used to tightly install the static grinding wheel 1; the base 4 has a material falling channel; the material falling channel is provided with a grinding shaft 5, and the dynamic grinding wheel 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the grinding shaft 5; the top of the grinding channel is connected with a hopper 6; the grinding cylinder 3 can be movably installed at the bottom of the grinding channel along the axial direction of the grinding shaft 5; the lifting adjustment assembly is installed on the base 4 to control the movement of the grinding cylinder 3 along the axial direction of the grinding shaft 5 to adjust the grinding gap. Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 2, the lifting adjustment assembly comprises an adjustment rod 7 and a connecting sleeve 8; the adjustment rod 7 is rotatably arranged on the base 4, and the axis of the adjustment rod 7 is parallel to the axis of the grinding shaft 5; the connecting sleeve 8 is arranged beside the grinding cylinder 3 and has a threaded hole; the lower segment of the adjustment rod 7 is provided with external threads which are threadedly matched with the threaded hole, and the upper segment of the adjustment rod 7 extends into the hopper 6.

[0028] Through the screw transmission mechanism of the adjustment rod 7 and the connecting sleeve 8, the grinding cylinder 3 can be effectively lifted and adjusted. Specifically, only one rotation of the adjustment rod 7 can accurately realize the displacement of the grinding cylinder 3 along its axial direction by one pitch, thereby significantly improving the adjustment efficiency of the grinding gap and effectively solving the problem of low adjustment efficiency of the grinding gap in the prior art.

[0029] In addition, since the displacement of the grinding cylinder 3 is realized through the screw transmission of the adjustment rod 7 and the connecting sleeve 8, even if vibration or resistance occurs during the grinding process, it will not cause accidental displacement of the grinding cylinder 3 along its axis. Therefore, the stability of the grinding gap can be maintained, and the particle size of the ground coffee powder can be kept consistent.

[0030] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 3, the top of the adjustment rod 7 is provided with an adjustment knob 10. The hopper 6 is provided with a locking groove 9, and the adjustment knob 10 is provided with a locking screw 11, and the lower end of the locking screw 11 is arranged in the locking groove 9 by screwing. Through the cooperation of the locking screw 11 and the locking groove 9, the adjustment range of the adjustment knob 10 can be effectively limited.

[0031] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the unblocking rod 12 is installed on the grinding shaft 5 above the movable grinding wheel 2. During the grinding process, the rotation of the grinding shaft 5 will drive the unblocking rod 12 to rotate synchronously around the axis of the grinding shaft 5. This movement state produces an effective stirring effect on the coffee beans in the grinding channel, ensuring that the coffee beans can smoothly enter the grinding gap. Not only does it improve the smoothness of the grinding channel, but it also further ensures the continuity and stability of the ground powder.

[0032] Referring to Figure 7 As shown, the grinding channel is provided with a stabilizing frame 13 for installing the grinding shaft 5. The main function of the stabilizing frame 13 is to ensure the stability of the movable grinding wheel 2 during rotation. It prevents the grinding shaft 5 from deviating due to excessive resistance during grinding, thereby avoiding uneven distribution of the grinding gap in the circumferential direction. Specifically, if the grinding gap is unevenly distributed in the axial direction, the particle size of the ground powder in the larger area of the grinding gap will be larger than that in the smaller area of the grinding gap. Therefore, the application of the stabilizing frame 13 is crucial to ensure the consistency of grinding quality and particle size.

[0033] Referring to Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a drive motor 14 installed on the base 4 and a transmission mechanism, the drive motor 14 being in transmission connection with the grinding shaft 5 through the transmission mechanism.

[0034] The transmission mechanism at least includes a primary transmission mechanism and a secondary transmission mechanism; the primary transmission mechanism includes a worm 15 in transmission connection with the drive motor 14 and a worm gear 16 in transmission with the worm 15; a first pulley is fixedly installed on the rotation shaft of the worm gear 16, a second pulley is fixedly installed on the grinding shaft 5, and a synchronous belt 17 is in transmission connection between the first pulley and the second pulley, the first pulley, the second pulley and the synchronous belt 17 constituting the secondary transmission mechanism.

[0035] Referring to Figure 7 As shown, the base 4 has a connecting seat for connecting with the coffee machine, and the connecting seat is provided with a buffer rubber sleeve 18. The buffer rubber sleeve 18 plays a key role during the operation of the grinding mechanism, and it can effectively reduce the potential impact of the vibration generated by the bean grinding mechanism on other mechanisms of the coffee machine.

[0036] A coffee machine comprising the bean grinding mechanism. Due to the configuration of the bean grinding mechanism with easily adjustable and high consistency of ground powder particle size, the coffee machine can brew coffee that meets the user's needs.

[0037] The above embodiment only expresses one or several embodiments of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as the limitation of the scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
