[0031] In the present embodiment 1,

[0032] As Figs. 1-3 shown, the present application provides a coffee machine powder pressing waterway structure 2, which comprises a powder pressing structure 1 and a waterway structure 2. The powder pressing structure 1 comprises a fixed frame 3, a piston assembly 4 arranged in the fixed frame 3, a powder pressing assembly 5 arranged at the lower end of the piston assembly 4, and an extraction funnel assembly 6 arranged at the lower end of the powder pressing assembly 5. The waterway structure 2 comprises a water tank 7, a water pump 8, an electromagnetic valve 9, a four-way pipe 10, a boiler 11, a one-way back pressure connector 12, and a waterway unit 13. The waterway unit 13 comprises:

[0033] The first water channel 14 is formed by the water tank 7, the water pump 8 and the four-way pipe 10 in sequence;

[0034] The second water channel 15 is formed by the water tank 7, the electromagnetic valve 9 and the four-way pipe 10 in sequence;

[0035] The four-way pipe 10 water channel assembly includes the first four-way pipe water channel 17 and the second four-way pipe water channel 18, the first four-way pipe water channel 17 connects the four-way pipe 10 and the piston assembly 4, and the second four-way pipe water channel 18 is formed by the boiler 11, the one-way back pressure joint 12 and the powder pressing assembly 5 in sequence;

[0036] When the water pump 8 works and the electromagnetic valve 9 is closed, the water in the water tank 7 flows to the four-way pipe 10 through the first water channel 14, and the four-way pipe 10 makes the water flow to the piston assembly 4 and the boiler 11 through the first four-way pipe water channel 17 and the second four-way pipe water channel 18 respectively, and the piston assembly 4 drives the powder pressing assembly 5 to press down as the water pressure increases, and when the pressure of the piston assembly 4 is greater than the pressure in the one-way back pressure joint 12, the hot water in the boiler 11 flows to the powder pressing assembly 5 through the one-way back pressure joint 12, and the hot water is guided into the extraction funnel assembly 6 through the powder pressing assembly 5;

[0037] When the water pump 8 stops working and the electromagnetic valve 9 is opened, the pressure in the piston assembly 4 is released through the electromagnetic valve 9, and the powder pressing assembly 5 is reset as the pressure in the piston assembly 4 decreases.

[0038] By arranging the powder pressing structure 1 and the water channel structure 2, the space occupation is reduced, the internal layout of the coffee machine is more compact, the water channel unit 13 includes the first water channel 14, the second water channel 15 and the four-way pipe 10 water channel assembly, and the accurate distribution and efficient utilization of water flow are ensured. When the water pump 8 works and the electromagnetic valve 9 is closed, the water flow can accurately flow to the powder pressing structure 1, providing a stable power source for subsequent powder pressing and extraction. When the water pump 8 stops working and the electromagnetic valve 9 is opened, the pressure can be effectively released in time, the powder pressing assembly 5 is reset, and the working efficiency and stability of the coffee machine are greatly improved.

[0039] The piston assembly 4 includes a fixed piston 19, a movable piston 20 arranged in the fixed piston 19 and a pressing base 21 connected to the movable piston 20, the powder pressing assembly 5 is arranged at the lower end of the pressing base 21, and the first four-way pipe water channel 17 connects the four-way pipe 10 and the movable piston 20; when the water flow increases the water pressure in the movable piston 20 and drives the movable piston 20 to press down, the pressing base 21 drives the powder pressing assembly 5 to press down as the movable piston 20 moves.

[0040] The principle of the piston assembly 4 is based on the incompressibility of liquid. When the liquid is subjected to a certain pressure, it will transmit force and produce corresponding movement. The fixed piston 19 provides stable guidance and support for the moving piston 20, ensuring that the moving piston 20 can move linearly under the action of water pressure without deviation or jamming. The moving piston 20 can sensitively respond to changes in water pressure and convert the water pressure into downward pressure, thereby driving the lower base 21 to perform the powder pressing action. This design allows the force and speed of powder pressing to be accurately adjusted according to the water pressure, adapting to different types and grinding degrees of coffee powder and improving the uniformity and consistency of powder pressing; the lower base 21 is tightly connected with the moving piston 20, which can transmit the pressure generated by the moving piston 20 to the powder pressing assembly 5 without loss, ensuring the efficiency and stability of the powder pressing action and avoiding pressure loss and energy waste.

[0041] The powder pressing assembly 5 includes a valve sleeve 22 and a powder pressing hammer 23 arranged in the valve sleeve 22, the boiler 11, the one-way back pressure joint 12 and the powder pressing hammer 23 are sequentially communicated to form the second through-pipe water channel 18, the powder pressing hammer 23 is connected with the lower base 21, and the valve sleeve 22 and the lower base 21 are arranged with an elastic member 24, the valve sleeve is elastically connected with the lower base 21 through the elastic member 24, the valve sleeve 22 is arranged with a funnel locking block 25 along the inner wall, and the extraction funnel assembly 6 is clamped in the valve sleeve 22 through the funnel locking block 25.

[0042] The valve sleeve 22 provides an accurate movement track for the powder pressing hammer 23, ensuring that the powder pressing hammer 23 can move vertically up and down to realize uniform compaction of coffee powder; the powder pressing hammer 23 is connected with the lower base 21, which can respond to the action of the lower base 21 in time and accurately, improving the timeliness and accuracy of powder pressing; the addition of the elastic member 24 provides a buffer for the powder pressing process, avoiding damage to the components caused by excessive pressure, and helping the powder pressing assembly 5 to reset quickly after the powder pressing is completed; the funnel locking block 25 enables the extraction funnel assembly 6 to be firmly installed in the valve sleeve 22, and it will not loosen or fall off even under the action of water pressure and vibration, ensuring the stability and safety of the extraction process.

[0043] The extraction funnel assembly 6 includes a funnel cup 26, a powder bowl 27 arranged in the funnel cup 26 and a handle 28 arranged on the funnel cup 26, the lower end of the funnel cup 26 is provided with a water outlet nozzle 30, the outer wall of the funnel cup 26 is arranged with a funnel clamping block 29 clamped with the funnel locking block 25, and the funnel cup 26 is clamped in the valve sleeve 22 by rotating the handle 28 through the cooperation of the funnel locking block 25 and the funnel clamping block 29.

[0044] The design of funnel cup 26 facilitates holding and operation; the setting of powder bowl 27 can accommodate an appropriate amount of coffee powder, ensuring the stable amount of coffee extracted each time. The design of handle 28 facilitates users to install and remove extraction funnel assembly 6, improving the convenience of use; water outlet nozzle 30 can control the outflow speed and flow of coffee liquid, avoiding splashing or poor outflow of coffee liquid; the cooperation of funnel clamping block 29 and funnel locking block 25 is ingenious, and firm installation can be realized through simple rotating action, which is also convenient for disassembly, cleaning and maintenance.

[0045] The lower end of the powder pressing hammer 23 is arranged with a first sealing ring 31 and a water inlet filter piece 32, and the valve sleeve 22 is also arranged with a powder bowl stopper 33 on the inner wall for preventing the powder bowl 27 from being separated from the funnel cup 26.

[0046] The first sealing ring 31 at the lower end of the powder pressing hammer 23 effectively prevents leakage of hot water during the extraction process, ensuring the stability of water pressure and the effect of extraction; the water inlet filter piece 32 can filter out impurities in the water, preventing impurities from entering the coffee powder and affecting the taste and quality of coffee; the powder bowl stopper 33 on the inner wall of the valve sleeve 22 avoids the spilling and waste of coffee powder, and also ensures the continuity and stability of extraction.

[0047] During the powder pressing process, the extraction funnel assembly 6 forms a sealed state through the sealing ring. When the lifting is completed and the piston retreats, the coffee powder in the powder bowl 27 and the water inlet filter piece 32 form a negative pressure, and the powder bowl 27 will rise upwards. When it rises to the powder bowl stopper 33, it will resist the powder bowl 27, preventing the powder bowl 27 from being separated from the funnel cup 26.

[0048] The second sealing ring 34 is arranged between the moving piston 20 and the fixed piston 19 for preventing water leakage.

[0049] The second sealing ring 34 between the moving piston 20 and the fixed piston 19 greatly improves the sealing performance of the piston assembly 4, effectively preventing water from leaking from the gap of the piston assembly 4, ensuring the stability of water pressure and the effective use of energy, prolonging the service life of the coffee machine and reducing maintenance costs.

[0050] As shown in Figs. 1-3 By setting the waterway structure 2 and the powder pressing structure 1, the water flow and pressure can be ensured to be stable when making coffee, the powder pressing is uniform, and the hot water extraction is sufficient, thereby improving the quality and taste of coffee. The components cooperate closely, the structure is reasonable, and the operation is simple, greatly improving the work efficiency; and because the piston is pressed downward, it does not need to be sealed when rotating into the funnel cup, which is labor-saving; the downward pressing of the piston can ensure that the coffee powder in the powder bowl is pressed tightly regardless of the amount of coffee powder, ensuring that the coffee extraction effect is not affected by the amount of powder, and making the coffee quality more stable.

[0051] In this embodiment 2,

[0052] AsFigs. 1-3 As shown, when coffee needs to be made, water pump 8 starts working and solenoid valve 9 closes. At this time, water in water tank 7 flows through the first water passage 14 (water tank 7, water pump 8, and four-way pipe 10 are connected in sequence) to four-way pipe 10. Four-way pipe 10 guides water through the first water passage 17 to piston assembly 4, and through the second water passage 18 to boiler 11.

[0053] Water flows to piston assembly 4 and enters the interior of moving piston 20. The water pressure gradually increases, causing moving piston 20 to press downward. Since the pressing base 21 is connected to moving piston 20, the pressing base 21, along with the movement of moving piston 20, causes the tamping assembly 5 to press down, compacting the coffee powder below.

[0054] Simultaneously, when the pressure inside the piston assembly 4 is greater than the pressure inside the one-way back pressure connector 12, the hot water in the boiler 11 flows through the one-way back pressure connector 12 to the tamping assembly 5. The hot water is then guided through the tamping assembly 5 into the extraction funnel assembly 6 to extract the tamped coffee powder.

[0055] Once the coffee is brewed, the water pump 8 stops working, and the solenoid valve 9 opens. At this time, the pressure inside the piston assembly 4 is released through the solenoid valve 9. As the pressure inside the piston assembly 4 decreases, the tamping assembly 5 is reset under the action of the elastic element 24, preparing for the next coffee brewing.

[0056] In this embodiment 3,

[0057] like Figs. 1-3 As shown, when the piston assembly 4 drives the tamping assembly 5 to press down on the extraction funnel assembly 6 to tamp the coffee powder, until the coffee powder in the portafilter 27 is compacted, the resulting pressure is F1. When hot water enters the portafilter 27, it extracts the coffee liquid, generating pressure F2. During operation, because they are in the same water path, the pressures above and below are balanced. However, because the pressure area inside the piston assembly 4 is greater than the pressure area inside the portafilter 27, pressure F1 is greater than pressure F2, and the piston assembly 4 is always in a downward pressing state.
