Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food or beverage preparation technology, and in particular to a raw material container installation structure and a beverage machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of modern living standards, coffee machines have gradually become one of the most common appliances in homes and offices. To provide a better user experience, coffee machine design needs to pay more attention to ease of operation, container cleaning and maintenance, and ingredient storage management. As a crucial component of the coffee machine, the bean hopper's design directly affects the user experience and functionality.

[0003] In existing technology, the bean hopper of a coffee machine is connected to the machine body by screws or other fixing methods. This design makes it inconvenient to disassemble the bean hopper, especially when adding or replacing coffee beans, often requiring multiple operations. When the coffee machine is positioned too high, it is inconvenient to add coffee beans and it is also difficult to quickly and easily remove the bean hopper. Furthermore, when removing the bean hopper by unscrewing the screws, unused coffee beans may scatter through the bean duct hole inside or outside the coffee machine, causing waste or contamination of the machine's interior.

[0004] To address these issues, a circular, detachable bean hopper has been introduced: users rotate the bean hopper to remove it from the coffee machine or attach it to the machine, with the rotation opening and closing the bean hopper's drain hole. However, the circular bean hopper has a relatively small capacity; and its installation and removal require the user to rotate it. If operated with one hand, the diameter of the bean hopper needs to be limited, otherwise, both hands would be required.

[0005] Furthermore, the design of some bean-shaped containers in existing technologies is often limited by size, and larger containers cannot be easily disassembled, affecting the user experience. Therefore, existing bean-shaped containers have certain shortcomings in terms of ease of installation and disassembly, as well as safety, and urgently need improvement. Utility Model Content

[0054] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any structural, methodological, or functional modifications made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0055] It should be understood that terms such as “above,” “over,” “below,” and “under” used herein to indicate spatial relative position are for illustrative purposes to describe the relationship of one unit or feature relative to another unit or feature as shown in the accompanying drawings. The terms “spatial relative position” may be intended to include different orientations of the equipment in use or operation other than those shown in the figures.

[0056] The beverage machine described in this specific embodiment of the present invention is exemplified by a coffee machine capable of making coffee beverages. The raw material container mounting structure described in this specific embodiment of the present invention is exemplified by a raw material container mounting structure used in a coffee machine. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the raw material container mounting structure 100 includes a support portion 30 and a container assembly 20. The support portion 30 supports the container assembly 20, which is detachably connected to the support portion 30 along a first direction Z. Specifically, the first direction Z can be a vertical direction, with the coffee machine placed on a horizontal workbench as a reference. The container assembly 20 can be placed directly on the support portion 30 along the first direction Z, and the user can complete the disassembly or installation of the container assembly 20 simply by moving it up or down along the first direction Z.

[0057] Furthermore, the container assembly 20 includes a raw material container 21 and a baffle 22. The raw material container 21 is used to hold raw materials, such as coffee beans. The bottom of the raw material container 21 has an opening 211 through which coffee beans can leak out. The baffle 22 is movably connected to the raw material container 21, that is, the baffle 22 is movably connected to the raw material container 21 to open or close the opening 211 to control the access of raw materials. The movement of the baffle 22 can effectively control the storage or outflow of raw materials. When the baffle 22 moves relative to the raw material container 21 to open the opening 211, raw materials can flow into the grinding assembly through the opening 211 for use by the coffee machine; when the baffle 22 moves relative to the raw material container 21 to close the opening 211, the raw materials are isolated and stored in the raw material container 21, preventing leakage or falling out.

[0058] The raw material container mounting structure 100 also includes an operating component 23, which is drivenly connected to the baffle 22. The operating component 23 is used to drive the baffle 22 to move linearly along the second direction Y to open or close the opening 211. The second direction Y is at an angle to the first direction Z, that is, the direction of movement of the baffle 22 is different from the direction of disassembly and assembly of the container assembly 20. This angle design makes the operating component 23 more convenient to operate and can effectively avoid misoperation or difficulty in operation.

[0059] For example, the first direction Z is set perpendicular to the second direction Y, so that the design of the raw material container mounting structure 100 is convenient and the structure is compact.

[0060] In addition, the operating component 23 has two positions relative to the raw material container 21: a first position and a second position. When the operating component 23 is in the first position, the baffle 22 opens the opening 211, and the raw material in the raw material container 21 can enter the grinding unit through the opening 211; when the operating component 23 is in the second position, the baffle 22 closes the opening 211, and the raw material is effectively isolated and stored in the raw material container 21, preventing the raw material from falling or scattering.

[0061] The operating component 23 includes an operating end 231 and a pivot axis X. The operating end 231 oscillates around the pivot axis X, causing the operating component 23 to pivot relative to the raw material container 21, thereby switching the operating component 23 between a first position and a second position. The oscillating motion of the operating component 23 around the pivot axis X makes the switching between the first and second positions smoother, allowing the user to more easily control the opening and closing of the baffle 22 during operation, thus achieving precise management of the raw material container 21.

[0062] The aforementioned raw material container installation structure 100 allows for an unrestricted size for the raw material container 21, providing a larger volume without compromising ease of disassembly and operation. For example, the bottom area of ​​the container assembly 20 is not structurally limited and can be set larger, allowing it to be placed flat on the workbench without easily tipping over. The swinging motion of the operating component 23 opens or closes the opening 211 on the raw material container 21 via the baffle 22, effectively closing the opening 211 for raw material output during disassembly, preventing raw materials from falling into or out of the equipment and maintaining its cleanliness. Users can easily disassemble the raw material container 21 by simply controlling the swinging motion of the operating component 23 and lifting it upwards, without the need for screws or complex fixing structures. This avoids the cumbersome operations of traditional container disassembly and improves the user's assembly and disassembly experience.

[0063] Reference Figure 1 The operating element 23 is pivotally connected to the raw material container 21. The operating element 23 can be configured as part of the container assembly 20 and can be installed and removed together with the raw material container 21 relative to the support 30. The raw material container 21 includes a sidewall 212 defining a receiving cavity 202. The pivot axis X passes through the sidewall 212 along a third direction, which is the direction in which the pivot axis X extends. The third direction, the second direction Y, and the first direction Z are all at angles to each other.

[0064] Specifically, the operating element 23 is pivotally connected to the side wall 212.

[0065] The operating component 23 is connected to the side wall 212 of the raw material container 21 via the pivot axis X, and the direction of the pivot axis X is set to a third direction, which is different from the first direction Z and the second direction Y. This allows the operating component 23 to effectively and precisely control the opening or closing of the baffle 22 opening 211 when it performs pivoting motion. The operating component 23 is less likely to experience imbalance or unevenness when switching the position of the baffle 22, ensuring stability and comfort during operation.

[0066] For example, the third direction is set perpendicular to both the first direction Z and the second direction Y, so that the design of the raw material container mounting structure 100 is convenient and the structure is compact.

[0067] In some embodiments, the raw material container mounting structure 100 further includes a sliding adapter 24, and the operating member 23, the sliding adapter 24 and the baffle 22 are sequentially driven to connect, and the sliding adapter 24 moves relative to the raw material container 21 along the first direction Z or the second direction Y.

[0068] The sliding adapter 24 connects the operating member 23 and the baffle 22, converting the oscillation of the operating member 23 into movement of the baffle 22 along the first direction Z or the second direction Y. The driving connection between the operating member 23 and the sliding adapter 24 can be any method capable of converting the pivoting of the operating member 23 into movement of the sliding adapter 24. When the user operates the operating member 23, the operating member 23 drives the sliding adapter 24 to move, thereby pushing the baffle 22 to slide along the first direction Z or the second direction Y, thus opening or closing the opening 211 of the raw material container 21.

[0069] Specifically, such as Figures 1-11 In the embodiment shown, the sliding adapter 24 moves relative to the raw material container 21 along the first direction Z.

[0070] Specifically, the operating member 23 moves the sliding adapter 24 by pressing against it. The operating member 23 moves from the second position to the first position, contacting and pressing against the sliding adapter 24. The operating member 23 can drive the sliding adapter 24 to move along the first direction Z, and the driving connection between the sliding adapter 24 and the baffle 22 drives the baffle 22 to move along the second direction Y. The driving connection between the sliding adapter 24 and the baffle 22 can also be any way that the movement of the sliding adapter 24 along the first direction Z is converted into the movement of the baffle 22 along the second direction Y.

[0071] In this embodiment, the sliding adapter 24 is provided with an insertion part 241, and the baffle 22 is provided with a insertion groove 221 adapted to the insertion part 241. The insertion part 241 can be selectively inserted into or separated from the insertion groove 221 along the first direction Z. The insertion part 241 of the sliding adapter 24 is adapted to the insertion groove 221 of the baffle 22. Through the insertion engagement along the first direction Z, the sliding adapter 24 and the baffle 22 can be inserted simultaneously while the container assembly 20 is being assembled and disassembled relative to the support part 30 along the first direction Z, making the operation very convenient.

[0072] exist Figure 1-11 In the embodiment shown, during the swinging of the control component 23, the sliding adapter 24 is connected to the baffle 22 through the insertion part 241 and the insertion groove 221, thereby driving the baffle 22 to slide along a predetermined trajectory, thereby opening or closing the opening 211 of the raw material container 21, ensuring the stable linkage between the sliding adapter 24 and the baffle 22.

[0073] The insertion part 241 engages with the insertion slot 221 to drive the sliding adapter 24 and the baffle 22. The engagement of the insertion part 241 with the insertion slot 221 can cause the sliding adapter 24 to drive the baffle 22 to move, or the engagement of the insertion part 241 with the insertion slot 221 can result in the sliding adapter 24 moving synchronously with the baffle 22.

[0074] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the end of the insertion part 241 is provided with a first guide surface 242, and the insertion groove 221 is provided with a second guide surface 222 adapted to the first guide surface 242. The second guide surface 222 contacts the first guide surface 242. Both the first guide surface 242 and the second guide surface 222 can be constructed as inclined surfaces. During the movement of the insertion part 241 along the first direction Z, the baffle 22 moves along the second direction Y under the interaction of the first guide surface 242 and the second guide surface 222. The cooperation of the first guide surface 242 and the second guide surface 222 can stably and reliably convert the movement of the sliding adapter 24 along the first direction Z into the movement of the baffle 22 along the second direction Y. Moreover, the structure is simple and can reduce the cost of the container assembly 20.

[0075] In some implementations, such as Figure 1-11 In the embodiment shown, the sliding adapter 24 is configured as part of the container assembly 20, that is, the container assembly 20 includes the sliding adapter 24 which is slidably connected to the raw material container 21. The sliding adapter 24 moves along the first direction Z to drive the baffle 22 to open the opening 211. The operating member 23 moves between a first position and a second position to lock the sliding adapter 24 or release the sliding adapter 24.

[0076] The sliding adapter 24 is constructed as part of the container assembly 20 and can be installed and removed from the support 30 together with the raw material container 21. The sliding adapter 24 can be locked or released as the operating member 23 moves. When the sliding adapter 24 is locked by the operating member 23, it cannot move, keeping the baffle 22 in the open opening 211 position. When the sliding adapter 24 is released by the operating member 23, it can move, allowing the baffle 22 to move to the closed opening 211 position. The connection between the operating member 23 and the sliding adapter 24 allows the user to precisely control the position of the baffle 22 without worrying about jamming or obstruction caused by improper operation or structural loosening.

[0077] Additionally, refer to Figure 9 As shown, to improve operational convenience, a reset member 201 is provided between the baffle 22 and the raw material container 21. The reset member 201 presses against the baffle 22 along the direction in which the baffle 22 closes the opening 211. When the operating member 23 releases the sliding adapter 24, the baffle 22 automatically moves to the position of closing the opening 211 under the elastic action of the reset member 201. When the baffle 22 moves, it can drive the sliding adapter 24 to move along the first direction Z, providing auxiliary force for the movement of the operating member 23 along the first direction Z. At the same time, the operating member 23 can also provide resistance to the movement of the sliding adapter 24, preventing the sliding adapter 24 from moving along the first direction Z. The interaction between the operating member 23 and the sliding adapter 24 makes it easier for the user to control the movement of the operating member 23, while avoiding excessive movement speed of the sliding adapter 24, thus ensuring the safety and reliability of the container assembly 20 during use.

[0078] Compared to the more complex structures in existing technologies, this design of the present invention greatly simplifies the operation of the raw material container 21. The sliding connection between the sliding adapter 24 and the raw material container 21, and the locking and releasing of the sliding adapter 24 by the operating component 23, make the disassembly, installation, and operation of the raw material container 21 more intuitive and efficient. This design not only improves the user experience but also ensures the safety and reliability of the container assembly 20 during use.

[0079] Continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The raw material container 21 is provided with a first groove 25 extending along the first direction Z. The sliding adapter 24 is accommodated in the first groove 25, and the first groove 25 limits the range of movement of the sliding adapter 24 along the first direction Z. The design of the first groove 25 enables the sliding adapter 24 to slide more smoothly along the predetermined trajectory, improving the reliability of the cooperation between the sliding adapter 24 and the baffle 22.

[0080] Reference Figure 6A stop block 251 is provided in the first slide groove 25, and a locking block 243 is provided on the sliding adapter 24. When the sliding adapter 24 moves upward along the first direction Z, the locking block 243 can abut against the stop block 251, thereby limiting the range of movement of the sliding adapter 24 along the first direction Z and preventing the sliding adapter 24 from coming out of the first slide groove 25. In addition, an abutment rib 252 extending along the first direction Z is also provided in the first slide groove 25, and a step portion 244 is provided on the sliding adapter 24. When the sliding adapter 24 moves downward along the first direction Z, the step portion 244 can be limited by the abutment rib 252, which can also limit the range of movement of the sliding adapter 24 along the first direction Z, preventing the sliding adapter 24 from being over-inserted into the baffle 22 and affecting the service life of the container assembly 20.

[0081] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the support part 30 is provided with a first limiting mechanism 41, which includes a first limiting block 411 and an operating member 23 is provided with a first limiting groove 233. In the first position, the first limiting block 411 is engaged in the first limiting groove 233, and the operating end 231 is restricted to swing around the pivot axis X. When the operating member 23 is in the first position, the first limiting block 411 is engaged in the first limiting groove 233 on the operating member 23, and the operating member 23 will not easily disengage from this position, preventing the operating member 23 from unnecessary displacement or loosening due to external force or accidental contact, preventing the sliding adapter 24 from moving upward along the first direction Z, and thus preventing the reset member 201 from driving the baffle 22 to close the opening 211. The first limiting mechanism 41 can lock the operating member 23 to avoid misoperation or accidental triggering, and also lock the sliding adapter 24, that is, lock the baffle 22, so that the baffle 22 is kept in the open opening 211 position, so as to ensure that the coffee machine is more reliable when in use.

[0082] In addition, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first limiting mechanism 41 also includes a first elastic element 412. The first elastic element 412 presses against the first limiting block 411 to apply a locking force to the first limiting groove 233. Under the action of external force, the operating end 231 can overcome the force of the first elastic element 412 and swing around the pivot axis X. The first elastic element 412 contacts the first limiting block 411 and applies a certain pressure to the first limiting block 411 to maintain the engagement between the first limiting block 411 and the first limiting groove 233. The first elastic element 412 can be, for example, a spring, an elastic rubber block, or other materials with restoring force to ensure that the connection between the first limiting block 411 and the first limiting groove 233 remains effective during normal use. When the operating member 23 is subjected to external force, the user can overcome the force of the first elastic element 412 and move the operating member 23 from the first position to the second position or other positions to achieve precise control of the baffle 22.

[0083] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the support portion 30 is also provided with a second limiting mechanism 42, which includes a second limiting block 421. The raw material container 21 is provided with a second limiting groove 213. The second limiting block 421 is engaged in the second limiting groove 213, and the raw material container 21 is restricted to separate from the support portion 30 along the first direction Z. The second limiting mechanism 42 can further ensure the reliability of the container assembly 20 installed on the support portion 30.

[0084] In addition, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second limiting mechanism 42 also includes a second elastic element 422. The second elastic element 422 presses against the second limiting block 421 to apply a locking force to the second limiting groove 213. The movement of the raw material container 21 away from the support 30 along the first direction Z can overcome the force of the second elastic element 422. The force of the second elastic element 422 can be overcome during the assembly and disassembly of the container assembly 20 along the first direction Z, making the assembly and disassembly of the container assembly 20 more reliable.

[0085] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the operating member 23 is constructed as a handle, and the operating member 23 is provided with a trigger block 232 that is drivenly connected to the sliding adapter 24. The trigger block 232 is located between the operating end 231 and the pivot axis X. The trigger block 232 abuts against the sliding adapter 24 to drive the sliding adapter 24 to move. In the first position, the operating end 231 is locked relative to the support part 30, that is, the operating end 231 is locked to the support part 30.

[0086] The operating component 23 is designed with a handle, facilitating one-handed operation, especially suitable for situations where two-handed operation is inconvenient. The handle not only improves user comfort and convenience but also provides a better grip. Furthermore, by positioning the trigger block 232 between the operating end 231 and the pivot axis X, the user can drive the sliding adapter 24 while controlling the movement of the operating component 23. The operating component 23 can also detach from the sliding adapter 24. This handle-type operating component 23 provides a very convenient user experience, especially in situations requiring quick disassembly or installation of the raw material container 21.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 2 The pivot axis X of the operating member 23 is located in the middle of the raw material container 21. A handle rest 214 is provided on the outer side of the raw material container 21. In the first position, the handle-type operating member 23 rests on the handle rest 214 and is locked to the support 30. The handle rest 214 provides a support position for the handle-type operating member 23, which makes the locking of the operating member 23 more reliable.

[0088] In this embodiment, the operating member 23 is constructed as a U-shaped handle, with both ends pivotally connected to two opposite side walls 212 of the raw material container 21. When the operating member 23 is in the first position, the handle is roughly outside the side walls 212 of the raw material container 21, and the handle is roughly parallel to the upper opening of the raw material container 21, thus not occupying additional space. In addition, to ensure more stable installation of the container assembly 20, the first limiting mechanism 41 and the second limiting mechanism 42 are provided on opposite sides of the support portion 30, for example, on both sides along the second direction Y.

[0089] In addition, two sliding adapters 24 can be provided, and correspondingly, two first sliding grooves 25 are also provided on the raw material container 21. The two sliding adapters 24 are arranged one-to-one with the two first sliding grooves 25, and the two sliding adapters 24 are respectively accommodated in their respective first sliding grooves 25. Two trigger blocks 232 are also provided accordingly. In this way, when the operating component 23 is operated, the trigger blocks 232 on both sides apply force evenly to the sliding adapters 24, and the two sliding adapters 24 jointly drive the baffle 22 to move, further improving the operational reliability of the container assembly 20 installation. The precise cooperation between the trigger blocks 232 and the sliding adapters 24 ensures the smoothness and safety of the operation, making the disassembly and installation of the container assembly 20 easier and more efficient.

[0090] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 and Figure 9As shown, the raw material container 21 includes a bottom wall 215 and a side wall 212 defining a receiving cavity 202 for containing raw materials, such as coffee beans. The container assembly 20 also includes a bottom plate 26 disposed below the bottom wall 215, defining a receiving space 261 between the bottom wall 215 and the bottom plate 26. A baffle 22 is movably disposed within the receiving space 261. A resetting member 201 between the baffle 22 and the raw material container 21 is also disposed within the receiving space 261.

[0091] The receiving space 261 can accommodate and support the movement of the baffle 22. The design of the receiving space 261 ensures that the baffle 22 can move smoothly when opening or closing, without interference from other components at the bottom. The baffle 22 can move freely within the receiving space 261, opening or closing the opening 211 of the raw material container 21 as needed. The reset member 201 can be a spring or other restorative component, which can more reliably provide the automatic reset function of the baffle 22. When the user disassembles the container assembly 20, simply lift the operating member 23 upwards, and the sliding adapter 24 will be released and moved upwards. The reset member 201 will push the baffle 22 to smoothly close the opening 211, keeping the raw materials in the raw material container 21 safely stored, thereby preventing the raw materials from falling or leaking, and further enhancing the user experience of the container assembly 20. The cooperation between the receiving space 261 between the bottom plate 26 and the bottom wall 215 and the reset member 201 ensures the stability of the overall container assembly 20 and avoids malfunctions or irregularities caused by structural instability or misoperation.

[0092] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The baffle 22 is provided with a locking block 223, and the bottom plate 26 is provided with a locking groove 263. The locking block 223 is inserted into the locking groove 263 to restrict the opening 211 of the baffle 22. The support part 30 is provided with an unlocking block 33, which can abut against the locking block 223 to drive the locking block 223 to separate from the locking groove 263.

[0093] When the baffle 22 closes the opening 211, it engages with the locking groove 263 on the base plate 26 via the locking block 223, thereby fixing the position of the baffle 22 and preventing it from accidentally opening due to external force or vibration when not in operation. When the baffle 22 closes the opening 211, the engagement between the locking block 223 and the locking groove 263 ensures that the opening 211 of the raw material container 21 is completely sealed, preventing the raw material in the receiving cavity 202 from falling or leaking out.

[0094] The design of the unlocking block 33 provides a convenient unlocking mechanism. When the user installs the container assembly 20 on the support 30, the unlocking block 33, through contact with the locking block 223, causes the locking block 223 to separate from the locking groove 263, thereby releasing the locking groove 263 from the locking block 223. This releases the locking state of the baffle 22, allowing the baffle 22 to move freely to open the opening 211 of the raw material container 21. The cooperative design of the unlocking block 33 and the locking block 223 ensures that the baffle 22 can be unlocked as soon as the container assembly 20 is in place. The user can easily drive the baffle 22 to open the opening 211 with a simple operation, avoiding the complex unlocking process that may occur in traditional locking mechanisms.

[0095] By incorporating a locking block 223 on the baffle 22 and a locking groove 263 on the base plate 26, the reliability of the baffle 22 when closed is enhanced. Furthermore, the engagement mechanism of the unlocking block 33 simplifies the unlocking of the baffle 22 and the operation of the raw material container 21. This design not only prevents the opening 211 of the raw material container 21 from accidentally opening when not needed, but also improves the smoothness and safety of user operation.

[0096] Specifically, the baffle 22 is provided with a receiving groove 224, and the locking block 223 is accommodated in the receiving groove 224. A third elastic element 225 is provided between the bottom wall 215 of the receiving cavity 202 and the locking block 223. The third elastic element 225 presses against the locking block 223 to apply a locking force to engage with the locking groove 263. The locking block 223 and the third elastic element 225 are also provided in the receiving space 261 between the bottom wall 215 and the bottom plate 26. A cover plate 226 is connected to the upper opening of the receiving groove 224. The cover plate 226 is connected to the receiving groove 224 by a snap-fit ​​method. The third elastic element 225 presses against the cover plate 226 and the locking block 223, which facilitates the installation of the baffle 22 in the receiving space 261.

[0097] The process of disassembling and installing container component 20 will be described in detail below.

[0098] Reference Figures 8 to 11When container assembly 20 needs to be disassembled, the control member 23 rotates around the pivot axis X, i.e., the handle is lifted upwards. The movement of the control member 23 can overcome the elastic force of the first elastic element 412. During the pivoting process of the control member 23 from the first position to the second position, the trigger block 232 on the control member 23 releases the sliding adapter 24. The sliding adapter 24 moves upwards, and the baffle 22 moves along the second direction Y under the action of the reset member 201 to close the opening 211. The locking block 223 on the baffle 22 is engaged in the locking groove 263 on the bottom plate 26. After the operating member 23 moves to the second position, the locking block 243 on the sliding adapter 24 abuts against the stop block 251, limiting the upward movement of the sliding adapter 24. The operating member 23 can continue to pivot to separate from the sliding adapter 24 until the operating member 23 moves to a roughly vertical position, that is, the surface where the handle is located is roughly perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Lift the operating member 23 upward to drive the raw material container 21 upward. The upward movement of the raw material container 21 can overcome the elastic force of the second elastic element 422, so that the entire container assembly 20 can move upward along the first direction Z to disengage from the support part 30.

[0099] When installing container assembly 20, place container assembly 20 downwards on support part 30. Support part 30 is provided with unlocking block 33. Unlocking block 33 presses against locking block 223, causing locking block 223 to disengage from locking groove 263. The locking of baffle 22 relative to bottom plate 26 is released, and second limiting block 421 is engaged in second limiting groove 213 on raw material container 21. Pivot operating member 23 to one side of raw material container 21 until trigger block 232 on operating member 23 abuts against sliding adapter 24. Continue to control operating member 23 to pivot towards the first position. Operating member 23 presses down sliding adapter 24 through trigger block 232. Sliding adapter 24 moves downwards, thereby driving baffle 22 to move along the second direction Y to open opening 211. (Refer to...) Figure 1 as well as Figures 3 to 7 When the operating member 23 reaches the first position, that is, the handle rests on the handle rest 214, the first limiting block 411 on the support 30 is engaged in the first limiting groove 233 of the operating member 23, thereby locking the operating member 23 on the support 30, and then the movement of the sliding adapter 24 and the baffle 22 is also locked through the operating member 23.

[0100] Reference Figures 12 to 14In another embodiment, the operating member 23 of the raw material container mounting structure 200 is pivotally connected to the raw material container 21. The raw material container 21 includes a side wall 212 defining a receiving cavity 202. The pivot axis X passes through the side wall 212 along a third direction, and the third direction, the second direction Y, and the first direction Z are all at angles to each other. The operating member 23 is connected to the side wall 212 of the raw material container 21 via the pivot axis X, and the direction of the pivot axis X is set to the third direction, which is different from both the first direction Z and the second direction Y. This allows the operating member 23 to effectively and precisely control the opening and closing of the baffle 22 to the opening 211 when it performs pivoting movements. The operating member 23 is less likely to experience imbalance or unevenness when switching the position of the baffle 22, ensuring stability and comfort during operation.

[0101] The operating member 23 includes a driving end 234 that is away from the operating end 231. The driving end 234 is provided with a second slide groove 235. The end side of the baffle 22 is provided with a slide post 227 adapted to the second slide groove 235. The slide post 227 extends into the second slide groove 235. The operating member 23 moves between a first position and a second position to drive the slide post 227 to move along the second direction Y through the second slide groove 235.

[0102] The user controls the operating element 23 to swing between the first and second positions, causing the drive end 234 to move between the first and second positions. This, in turn, moves the sliding column 227 along the second slide groove 235, which in turn moves the baffle 22 along the second direction Y, thereby controlling the movement of the baffle 22. The design of the second slide groove 235 ensures the smooth movement of the sliding column 227 and avoids deviation or jamming during the sliding process.

[0103] The operating element 23 can be constructed as a rod, which is disposed on one side of the raw material container 21. The operating end 231 protrudes into the external space relative to the support part 30. By simply controlling the swing of the operating end 231, the baffle 22 can be moved along the second direction Y. The baffle 22 is provided with a guide groove 228 extending along the second direction Y. The screw 45 passes through the guide groove 228 and is connected to the bottom of the raw material container 21 to fix the position of the baffle 22 relative to the raw material container 21 along the first direction Z. When the operating element 23 pivots, the sliding column 227 slides in the second sliding groove 235, thereby moving the baffle 22 to open or close the opening 211. The design of the operating element 23 directly controlling the movement of the baffle 22 not only improves the control capability of the baffle 22, but also makes the operation process simpler and more stable, the structure of the container assembly 20 is simpler, and it is conducive to achieving miniaturization.

[0104] Reference Figures 15 to 20In another embodiment, the raw material container mounting structure 300 further includes a sliding adapter 24, and the operating member 23, the sliding adapter 24 and the baffle 22 are sequentially driven and connected, and the sliding adapter 24 moves relative to the raw material container 21 along the second direction Y.

[0105] The sliding adapter 24 connects the operating member 23 and the baffle 22, converting the oscillation of the operating member 23 into the movement of the baffle 22 along the second direction Y. The driving connection between the operating member 23 and the sliding adapter 24 can be any method capable of converting the pivoting of the operating member 23 into the movement of the sliding adapter 24 along the second direction Y. When the user operates the operating member 23, the operating member 23 drives the sliding adapter 24 to move, thereby pushing the baffle 22 to slide along the second direction Y, opening or closing the opening 211 of the raw material container 21.

[0106] Specifically, the sliding adapter 24 is disposed on the support portion 30, and the sliding adapter 24 is connected to the operating member 23. The baffle 22 can be selectively connected to or separated from the sliding adapter 24 along the first direction Z. Between the first position and the second position, the operating member 23 drives the sliding adapter 24 to move along the second direction Y. The operating member 23 drives the sliding adapter 24 to move by pivoting and sliding it. The operating member 23 can drive the sliding adapter 24 to move along the second direction Y, and the driving connection between the sliding adapter 24 and the baffle 22 also drives the baffle 22 to move along the second direction Y. The sliding adapter 24 and the baffle 22 move in the same direction, ensuring the stability of the sliding adapter 24 driving the baffle 22 to move.

[0107] Please refer to Figure 16 , Figure 18 and Figure 19 The sliding adapter 24 is provided with an insertion part 241, and the baffle 22 is provided with an insertion groove 221 adapted to the insertion part 241. The insertion part 241 can be selectively inserted into or separated from the insertion groove 221 along the first direction Z. The insertion part 241 of the sliding adapter 24 is adapted to the insertion groove 221 of the baffle 22. Through the insertion engagement along the first direction Z, the sliding adapter 24 and the baffle 22 can be inserted simultaneously while the container assembly 20 is being assembled and disassembled relative to the support part 30 along the first direction Z, making operation very convenient. During the swinging process of the operating component 23, the sliding adapter 24, through the engagement of the insertion part 241 and the insertion groove 221, drives the baffle 22 to slide along a predetermined trajectory, thereby opening or closing the opening 211 of the raw material container 21, ensuring stable linkage between the sliding adapter 24 and the baffle 22.

[0108] The insertion part 241 engages with the insertion slot 221 to drive the sliding adapter 24 and the baffle 22. Specifically, the engagement of the insertion part 241 with the insertion slot 221 allows the sliding adapter 24 to move synchronously with the baffle 22, meaning that after the insertion part 241 engages with the insertion slot 221, the sliding adapter 24 and the baffle 22 can move together along the second direction Y.

[0109] Furthermore, the operating member 23 is pivotally connected to the support portion 30, the support portion 30 is provided with a slot 31, and the operating end 231 protrudes from the slot 31 into the external space.

[0110] The operating component 23 is directly mounted on the support portion 30, meaning that the operating component 23 will not separate from the support portion 30 when the container assembly 20 is disassembled. This structural design simplifies the construction of the container assembly 20, allows the operating end 231 to swing freely, and ensures that the user will not touch the operating end 231 when removing the container assembly 20 for cleaning or adding materials, thus making it more reliable.

[0111] In some implementation methods, please refer to Figure 16 , Figure 18 and Figure 19 The support portion 30 includes a bracket plate 34 and a receiving recess 35 disposed on the bracket plate 34. The container assembly 20 is installed in the receiving recess 35. In a first position, the baffle 22 interferes with the bracket plate 34 at least partially along the first direction Z, and the container assembly 20 is restricted from separating from the support portion 30 along the first direction Z. In a second position, the baffle 22 is located in the receiving recess 35, and the container assembly 20 is allowed to separate from the support portion 30 along the first direction Z.

[0112] Reference Figure 19 The container assembly 20 is mounted on the support 30 by cooperating with the receiving recess 35. The receiving recess 35 is designed to effectively support the container assembly 20 and keep it stable. When in the first position, the baffle 22 interferes at least partially with the support plate 34 along the first direction Z to prevent the container assembly 20 from accidentally detaching from the support 30 in case of improper operation.

[0113] Reference Figure 18 In the second position, the baffle 22 is located within the receiving recess 35, allowing the container assembly 20 to separate from the support 30 along the first direction Z, thereby allowing the user to easily disassemble the container assembly 20. By moving the operating member 23, the baffle 22 is moved to the second position, thereby unlocking the connection between the container assembly 20 and the support 30, allowing the container assembly 20 to be easily removed from the support 30.

[0114] Furthermore, the support part 30 includes a bracket plate 34 and a sliding support 36. A slot 31 is provided on the bracket plate 34, an operating end 231 protrudes from the upper space of the bracket plate 34, the sliding support 36 is provided below the bracket plate 34, the sliding adapter 24 is slidably supported on the sliding support 36 along the second direction Y, and the operating member 23 is pivotally connected to the sliding support 36.

[0115] The sliding adapter 24 slides within the sliding support 36 along the second direction Y, ensuring smooth and precise movement of the sliding adapter 24 during operation. The operating end 231 protrudes into the space above the support plate 34 through the slot 31, ensuring that the operating component 23 can be easily grasped and operated by the user. The slot 31 design allows the operating component 23 sufficient room to move during pivoting, enabling the operating component 23 to swing freely around the pivot axis X, thereby driving the sliding adapter 24 to move along the second direction Y.

[0116] In this embodiment, the cooperative design of the sliding support 36 and the sliding adapter 24 ensures smooth and stable sliding. The sliding support 36 can support the sliding adapter 24 and the operating component 23, so that the sliding adapter 24 does not deviate or get stuck during the sliding process, ensuring that the sliding adapter 24 can accurately drive the baffle 22 to move along the second direction Y, thus ensuring stability during long-term use.

[0117] Continue to refer to Figures 18 to 20 The sliding adapter 24 is provided with a sliding pin 246. The sliding pin 246 and the insertion part 241 are located at opposite ends of the sliding adapter 24. The operating member 23 is provided with a third sliding groove 236. The sliding pin 246 extends into the third sliding groove 236. The operating member 23 moves between a first position and a second position to drive the sliding pin 246 to move along the second direction Y through the third sliding groove 236.

[0118] Guided by the third slide groove 236, the sliding pin 246 drives the sliding adapter 24 to slide smoothly along the second direction Y, achieving precise driving of the baffle 22. The design of the third slide groove 236 ensures that the movement trajectory of the sliding pin 246 within the groove is stable and smooth, avoiding possible jamming or deviation during sliding. The length and shape of the third slide groove 236 are designed to correspond to the movement range and required displacement accuracy of the sliding adapter 24, ensuring that the opening and closing of the baffle 22 can be accurately achieved. Users can easily control the opening and closing of the baffle 22 by simply pushing the operating component 23, greatly improving the user experience.

[0119] In some implementation methods, please refer to Figure 16 The sliding support 36 is provided with a guide groove 361 extending along the second direction Y; please refer to Figure 18 and Figure 19The sliding support 36 also includes a track groove 362 extending along the second direction Y. The sliding adapter 24 includes a slide rail portion 247 that cooperates with the track groove 362. The track groove 362 is formed on two opposing inner walls of the guide groove 361. The two corresponding slide rail portions 247 are respectively located in the track grooves 362 on the two inner walls. The insertion portion 241 is provided at one end of the slide rail portion 247. The two slide rail portions 247 are respectively provided with sliding pins 246. The operating member 23 extends into the guide groove 361. The two sliding pins 246 extend from the slide rail portions 247 on both sides into the third slide groove 236.

[0120] The design of the track groove 362 cooperating with the slide rail 247 can make the movement of the sliding adapter 24 more stable, thereby making the control of the operating member 23 to drive the baffle 22 to open or close the opening 211 more reliable.

[0121] Reference Figures 21 to 23 In another embodiment, the components or parts with the same reference numerals have the same structure and effect as those in the above embodiments, and will not be described again here. Unlike the above embodiments, the raw material container mounting structure 400 also includes a baffle plate 46 slidably connected to the support part 30. The baffle plate 46 is adapted to the position of the slot 31. The baffle plate 46 is driven to be connected to the operating member 23. The baffle plate 46 is driven by the operating end 231 to move along the second direction Y to cover the space between the slot 31 and the operating end 231.

[0122] The baffle 46 is driven by the operating component 23. The movement of the operating end 231 causes the baffle 46 to move along the second direction Y, thereby covering the gap between the operating end 231 and the slot 31. This design not only improves the aesthetics of the support 30 and prevents external debris from falling into the machine, but also enhances the safety of the operating component 23, avoiding potential risks to the user during operation caused by the exposure of the slot 31.

[0123] The raw material container mounting structure 400 also includes a positioning member 365 that is movably connected to the support part 30. The operating member 23 is provided with a first positioning hole 2301 and a second positioning hole. The positioning member 365 can be selectively connected to the first positioning hole 2301 or the second positioning hole to limit the operation member 23 to be held in the first position or the second position.

[0124] The positioning element 365 can switch between the first positioning hole 2301 and the second positioning hole of the operating element 23, thereby precisely holding the operating element 23 in either the first or second position. The positioning element 365 can be limited by the elastic element and connected to either the first positioning hole 2301 or the second positioning hole. This design allows the user to accurately fix the operating element 23 in the desired position during operation, ensuring that the switching operation of the baffle 22 is always accurate and providing clear feedback during operation, allowing the user to easily understand the current position and status of the operating element 23.

[0125] Furthermore, the sliding support 36 is provided with a receiving space for accommodating the elastic member and at least part of the positioning member 365, so as to hold the elastic member and the positioning member 365 on the sliding support 36.

[0126] This application further applies the mounting structure of the raw material container 21 to a beverage machine. The beverage machine includes a main body and the above-mentioned raw material container mounting structure, wherein the support part 30 is disposed on the main body.

[0127] Specifically, the raw material container mounting structure can be integrated into the main body of the beverage machine, with the support 30 either fixedly mounted on the main body or serving as part of it. Users can easily operate the operating component 23 to disassemble and install the container assembly 20 without disassembling the entire beverage machine or performing complex operations. The integrated design of the container assembly 20 and the main body makes the overall structure of the beverage machine more compact and easier to use and maintain.

[0128] When users need to add or replace coffee beans, or disassemble container assembly 20 for maintenance or cleaning, they can easily disassemble container assembly 20 by simply operating the operating part 23, avoiding the complicated operations required by rotating or removing screws in existing technologies. During disassembly, unused raw materials in raw material container 21 are effectively sealed by the movement of baffle 22, closing the opening 211, preventing the raw materials in raw material container 21 from spilling and ensuring a clean and hygienic operating environment.

[0129] Furthermore, the increased capacity of the raw material container 21 does not affect the ease of disassembly and reassembly of the container assembly 20. Through precise design of the container assembly 20 and the operating component 23, the increased capacity of the raw material container 21 ensures continued ease of disassembly and operation, allowing the container assembly 20 to be laid flat and stably supported, preventing it from tipping over. The design of the operating component 23 allows for one-handed operation, facilitating daily use and reducing misoperation due to improper handling. The optimized raw material container installation structure design not only improves the capacity and stability of the raw material container 21 but also ensures ease of operation and safety.

[0130] It should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This way of describing the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0131] The detailed descriptions listed above are merely specific descriptions of feasible implementations of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent implementations or modifications made without departing from the spirit of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
