Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of an intelligent self-service capsule coffee machine, comprising a coffee machine body 3, a coffee machine base 1 mounted at the bottom of the coffee machine body 3, a water tank 2 mounted on the left side of the coffee machine body 3, a brewing chamber 9 mounted at the top right side of the coffee machine body 3, a pump body 4 installed inside the coffee machine body 3, a connecting pipe 5 mounted at the input end of the pump body 4, a heating tube 6 mounted at the output end of the pump body 4, a plug 7 provided at the output end of the heating tube 6, a telescopic tube 23 connecting the plug 7 and the heating tube 6, and a drain valve mounted on the right side of the bottom of the brewing chamber 9. A storage box 16 is installed on the left side of the bottom of the brewing chamber 9, a lead screw sleeve 24 is installed on the left side of the plug 7, an electric lead screw assembly 11 is installed on the left side inside the brewing chamber 9, an installation plate 12 is set on the right side of the plug 7, two sets of placement slots 25 are set on the installation plate 12, a drive motor 13 is installed inside the brewing chamber 9, a capsule channel 10 is set below the installation plate 12, a drain channel 14 is set on the right side of the installation plate 12, a capsule placement box 8 is installed on the top of the brewing chamber 9, and a water collection tank 18 is set on the right side inside the coffee machine base 1.
[0025] The output end of the drive motor 13 is connected to the left side of the mounting plate 12. The placement slot 25 is set at the top and bottom of the mounting plate 12. The bottom left side of the brewing tank 9 is provided with a discharge port. The storage box 16 is set below the discharge port. The drain channel 14 is connected to the drain port 15. The bottom of the capsule placement box 8 is connected to the capsule channel 10.
[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, capsules are stacked inside the capsule channel 10 and the capsule placement box 8. The bottom coffee capsule can be placed inside the placement slot 25 at the top of the mounting plate 12. When making coffee, the plug 7 is inserted into the coffee capsule inside the placement slot 25. After making the coffee, the drive motor 13 drives the mounting plate 12 to rotate 180 degrees, so that the bottom placement slot 25 moves to the top and the top placement slot 25 moves to the bottom. At this time, the empty capsule shells inside the placement slot 25 fall from the discharge port into the storage box 16 to achieve discharge. The capsules inside the capsule channel 10 fall into the placement slot 25 to achieve automatic feeding.
[0027] The connecting pipe 5 is connected to the water tank 2, the inside of the plug 7 is connected to the heating pipe 6, the inner side of the capsule channel 10 is equipped with a sensor 22, and the rear end of the right side of the brewing tank 9 is equipped with an indicator light 19. The sensor 22 is connected to the indicator light 19.
[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, when making coffee, the motor on the wire rod assembly 11 drives it to rotate. During the rotation, the wire rod sleeve 24 outside the wire rod assembly 11 can push the plug 7 to the right. The plug 7 is inserted into the coffee capsule to fill it with water and make coffee. Then the wire rod assembly 11 drives the plug 7 to return to its original position. The sensor 22 on the capsule channel 10 can detect whether there is a capsule inside. Once the capsule is used up, the indicator light 19 will flash to remind you to add a capsule.
[0029] The power button 20 and start button 21 are installed on the front right side of the brewing tank 9. The water collection tank 18 contains a water collection box 17, and the top of the water collection box 17 is flush with the top of the coffee machine base 1.
[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water tank 2 is a detachable structure, which can be cleaned regularly to remove scale inside the water tank 2, or descaling liquid can be poured into the water tank 2. The descaling liquid flows through the connecting pipe 5, heating pipe 6 and plug 7 to clean the inside of the water tank. Excess coffee liquid can fall into the water collection tank 18. The water collection box 17 inside the water collection tank 18 can be removed to clean the waste liquid.
[0031] Working principle: When using this invention, during coffee making, the motor on the lead screw assembly 11 drives it to rotate. During rotation, the lead screw sleeve 24 outside the lead screw assembly 11 can push the plug 7 to the right. The plug 7 is inserted into the coffee capsule. The pump body 4 pumps water from the water tank 2 to the heating tube 6. After the heating tube 6 heats the water, it is injected into the coffee capsule through the plug 7. The capsules are arranged and stacked inside the capsule channel 10 and the capsule placement box 8. The bottom coffee capsule can be placed in the placement slot 25 at the top of the mounting plate 12. When making coffee liquid, the coffee capsule inserted into the placement slot 25 by the plug 7 can be made. After making, the drive motor 13 drives the mounting plate 12 to rotate 180 degrees, so that the bottom placement slot 25 moves to the top and the top placement slot 25 moves to the bottom. At this time, the empty capsule shells inside the placement slot 25 fall from the discharge port into the storage box 16 to realize discharge. The capsules inside the capsule channel 10 fall into the placement slot 25 to realize automatic feeding. This structure realizes the function of automatic feeding.
[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention.
