Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bean storage, and in particular to a bean storage sealing structure. Background Technology
[0002] Most coffee machines and grinders are equipped with a bean hopper. The bean hopper supplies coffee beans to the internal grinding mechanism for grinding. The bean hopper is usually detachably connected to the top cover of the coffee machine or the top cover of the grinder. When the grinder or the coffee machine malfunctions and the bean hopper needs to be removed for repair, the coffee beans inside must be removed first. However, not all of them can be removed; a small amount will remain. When removing the bean hopper, coffee beans will fall from the outlet, making the process of removing the bean hopper cumbersome, prone to dropping beans, and slow. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the existing technical defects, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a bean hopper sealing structure to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the technical problem is as follows:
[0005] According to one aspect of this utility model, a bean storage sealing structure is designed, comprising:
[0006] The top cover is equipped with an insertion hole and a limiting slot;
[0007] The soybean hopper has a first discharge hole at the bottom.
[0008] A fixing component is rotatably connected to the lower end of the bean hopper. The fixing component is provided with a second discharge hole corresponding to the first discharge hole, two oblique sliding grooves located on both sides of the second discharge hole, and a plug-in block.
[0009] Two baffles are provided and are located between the bean hopper and the fixing member. One end of the baffle is hinged to the bean hopper, and the bottom of the other end is provided with a lower rotating shaft. The lower rotating shafts on the two baffles are slidably engaged in the two inclined sliding grooves.
[0010] The lower end of the bean hopper is detachably inserted into the insertion hole, and the plug block is detachably inserted into the limiting slot. When the plug block is inserted into the limiting slot, rotating the bean hopper clockwise can drive the baffle to rotate and drive the two lower rotating shafts to slide in the inclined slide groove, so that the two baffles open to form a discharge port. When rotating the bean hopper counterclockwise, the two baffles can close the discharge port.
[0011] Using the above technical solution, this bean hopper connection structure is applied to coffee machines or bean grinding devices. When the lower end of the bean hopper is inserted into the insertion hole, and the insertion block is inserted into the limiting slot, the limiting slot can restrict the rotation of the fixing component. When the bean hopper is rotated clockwise, the bean hopper rotates, causing the baffles to rotate and driving the two lower rotating shafts to slide along the inclined slide groove towards the outside of the fixing component, thereby opening the two baffles and forming a discharge port between the two baffles. The coffee beans in the bean hopper can fall through the first discharge hole, the discharge port, and the second discharge hole on the fixing component. When the bean hopper needs to be removed from the top cover, rotate the bean hopper counterclockwise. The rotation of the bean hopper causes the baffle to rotate and drives the two lower rotating shafts to slide along the inclined slide groove towards the inside of the fixing part. This causes the two lower rotating shafts to tilt and move towards the inside of the fixing part, which can drive the two baffles to close the feed port. The two baffles prevent the coffee beans in the bean hopper from falling out. Then, move the bean hopper upward to remove it. In this way, the coffee beans in the bean hopper can be prevented from falling out when removing the bean hopper. The operation is relatively simple and can quickly remove the bean hopper. The effect is good.
[0012] To better address the aforementioned technical deficiencies, this utility model also offers a superior technical solution:
[0013] In some embodiments, the top of the baffle is provided with an upper rotating shaft, which slides in conjunction with an arc-shaped groove on the top of the bean hopper. This ensures that the two baffles open and close smoothly.
[0014] In some embodiments, the bean hopper and one of the fixing members are provided with at least two buckles on their circumference and a rotating groove on the other, wherein the buckles engage with the rotating groove and rotate in cooperation.
[0015] In some embodiments, a baffle is provided at the bottom of the bean hopper, and a third discharge port corresponding to the first discharge hole is provided on the baffle. The arc-shaped chute is provided on the baffle.
[0016] In some embodiments, the inclined chute is a long, straight groove or a long, straight through hole, with one end close to the second discharge hole and the other end close to the outer edge of the fixing member, and the two inclined chutes are arranged in parallel.
[0017] In some embodiments, one of the baffle and the baffle plate is provided with a hinge post, and the other is provided with a hinge hole that rotatably engages with the hinge post.
[0018] In some embodiments, the upper rotating shaft and the lower rotating shaft are vertically aligned. Attached Figure Description
