AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing drip coffee machine has the powder outlet and water inlet in the same vertical space, which causes water vapor to combine with coffee powder, resulting in sticking and difficulty in cleaning. In addition, poor sealing may cause the grinding device to become damp.

Method used

A coffee machine structure was designed in which the drip cup's drip groove is rotatable, and a motor-driven shield moves synchronously with the drip cup to ensure that the powder outlet and water outlet are not in the same vertical space. The shield also covers the powder outlet to prevent water vapor from entering. Synchronous control is achieved by combining a soft pad and a gear transmission device.

Benefits of technology

It effectively prevents water vapor from entering the powder outlet, avoiding problems such as coffee powder sticking and a damp grinding device, while improving operational stability and convenience, and reducing component costs.
