[0034] This utility model provides a bean storage structure 100, which is applicable to beverage making equipment such as coffee machines, soy milk makers, and blenders. The bean storage structure 100 can be used to store beans used in beverage making, such as coffee beans, soybeans, and mung beans. For ease of explanation, the following description will primarily focus on the use of the bean storage structure 100 for storing coffee beans; other equipment can be adapted accordingly.

[0035] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 to 2 In this embodiment, the bean storage structure 100 includes a bean hopper body 1 and a retaining member 2. The bean hopper body 1 is funnel-shaped, forming a flared end and a constricted end, and a bean hopper sidewall connected between the flared end and the constricted end and at least partially inclined. The retaining member 2 is connected to the bean hopper body 1 and covers at least the outer periphery of the bean hopper sidewall and is exposed to the outside, and provides support to the bean hopper body 1 at least in the direction from the constricted end toward the flared end.

[0036] In this embodiment, the opening at the flared end of the bean hopper body 1 can be relatively larger to facilitate the pouring of beans. The discharge port can be located at the constricted end. Under the guiding effect of the inclined bean hopper sidewall, the beans can flow more smoothly towards the discharge port at the constricted end. Moreover, a baffle 2 is provided on the outside of the bean hopper body 1. By surrounding the outside of the bean hopper sidewall, the baffle 2 forms a shield against the inclined bean hopper sidewall, making the overall structure of the bean storage structure 100 more regular, thereby facilitating the bean storage structure 100. The bean storage structure 100 can be installed and fixed in place. Furthermore, the enclosure 2 can provide support for the bean storage body 1, thereby restricting the bean storage body 1 to the beverage making equipment by limiting the position of the enclosure 2 when installing the bean storage structure 100. This makes the installation of the bean storage structure 100 more convenient. In addition, the enclosure 2 can define the space at the bottom of the bean storage body 1, making it easier to connect and match with other components. This makes the internal structure of the beverage making equipment more compact, thereby making the overall size of the beverage making equipment smaller.

[0037] Specifically, in combination Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the flared end of the bean hopper body 1 forms the hopper opening, and the constricted end forms the discharge port. Coffee beans can be poured into the bean hopper body 1 through the hopper opening, and when the coffee beans are taken out, they can fall out through the discharge port. It should be noted that when the bean storage structure 100 is placed in the beverage making equipment for normal use, the hopper opening of the bean hopper body 1 is set upwards, the discharge port is located at the bottom of the bean hopper body 1, and the side wall of the bean hopper is inclined in the vertical direction, so that the beans can flow better towards the discharge port under their own gravity, thus ensuring better dispensing effect. Unless otherwise specified, all descriptions of orientation in this utility model shall be taken as such.

[0038] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a flange 15 protrudes axially from the opening of the bean hopper, where axial direction refers to the vertical direction along the main body 1 of the bean hopper. The flange 15 protrudes upwards from the opening, surrounding the periphery of the opening and protruding radially from the side wall of the bean hopper, thus forming a stepped portion at the connection between the flange 15 and the side wall of the bean hopper on the outer surface of the main body 1 of the bean hopper. The wall thickness of the flange 15 may be greater than the wall thickness of the side wall of the bean hopper, causing the outer surface of the flange 15 to protrude beyond the outer surface of the side wall of the bean hopper; alternatively, the wall thickness of the flange 15 may be the same as the wall thickness of the side wall of the bean hopper, but the radial dimension of the flange 15 may be larger, thus protruding beyond the side wall of the bean hopper. The flange 15 can increase the depth of the inner cavity of the bean storage body 1 and improve the bean storage capacity; on the other hand, it can facilitate the placement of the storage cover on it to seal the bean storage body 1 and ensure that the beans inside the bean storage body 1 are not easily contaminated.

[0039] Furthermore, the first end of the enclosure 2 abuts against the flange 15 protruding from the side wall of the bean hopper, and the outer surface of the enclosure 2 is flush with the outer surface of the flange 15. The first end of the enclosure 2 is the upper end of the enclosure 2. By covering the outer side of the side wall of the bean hopper with the enclosure 2 and limiting the upper end of the enclosure 2 by the step portion, the enclosure 2 has a better fit with the bean hopper body 1, and can better shield at least part of the bottom area of ​​the bean hopper body 1, making the appearance of the bean storage structure 100 smoother and more aesthetically pleasing overall.

[0040] Preferably, the enclosure 2 is ring-shaped and matches the shape of the bean hopper body 1, allowing each side of the enclosure 2 to better fit the side walls of the bean hopper body 1, resulting in a more compact structure. Furthermore, the area enclosed by the enclosure 2 better covers the bottom area of ​​the bean hopper body 1, providing better protection. Additionally, the material discharge port can be exposed from the second end of the enclosure 2, meaning it can be exposed or extended from the bottom side of the enclosure 2, ensuring that the enclosure 2 does not obstruct the discharge port and allowing for smoother material discharge.

[0041] Further, the enclosure member 2 includes a first enclosure section 21 and a second enclosure section 22 connected to each other. The first enclosure section 21 is located at the upper end of the second enclosure section 22. The first enclosure section 21 fits against the flange 15 and is flush with the flange 15. At least one side of the second enclosure section 22 is inclined inward from the first enclosure section 21. Preferably, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the opening of the bean hopper body 1 is roughly square, and the first enclosure section 21 is also roughly square, surrounding the outer perimeter of the bean hopper body 1 near its opening. The first enclosure section 21 extends along the vertical direction of the bean hopper body 1 and is on the same plane as the flange 15, making the overall shape of the bean storage structure 100 more regular and the transition smoother. Therefore, the bean storage structure 100 is easier to fix. The second enclosure section 22 matches the side wall of the bean hopper to better form a shield, and can also be connected to the bean hopper body 1 to completely restrict the enclosure member 2 to the bean hopper body 1.

[0042] Preferably, the bean hopper body 1 and the enclosure 2 are detachably connected. Specifically, one of the bean hopper body 1 and the enclosure 2 is provided with a mounting part, and the other is provided with a mating part that cooperates with the mounting part. The mounting part and the mating part cooperate to restrict the relative movement of the bean hopper body 1 and the enclosure 2 along the axial direction of the bean hopper body 1, so as to completely fix the enclosure 2 to the bean hopper body 1.

[0043] It is understood that there are many ways to connect the bean hopper body 1 and the enclosure 2. In one embodiment, the mounting part and the mating part can be configured as a hook and a buckle that cooperate with each other, thereby preventing the enclosure 2 from coming out from below the bean hopper body 1. By having the flange 15 abut against the top of the enclosure 2 and the hook and buckle preventing the enclosure 2 from coming out from below the bean hopper body 1, the enclosure 2 can be completely fixed to the bean hopper body 1.

[0044] In another embodiment, the mounting part and the mating part may be provided with corresponding connecting holes. By means of connectors, such as screws or bolts, which are inserted into the corresponding connecting holes, the enclosure 2 and the bean hopper body 1 are connected and fixed, making the connection and fixation more reliable and stable.

[0045] When the structure of the main body 1 of the bean hopper changes, the positions of the mounting part and the mating part will also change accordingly.

[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6As shown, the bean storage structure 100 also includes a separator 3, which extends from the flared end toward the constricted end, dividing the bean hopper body 1 into a first storage cavity 11 and a second storage cavity 12. The first storage cavity 11 and the second storage cavity 12 can be used to store different types of beans. Correspondingly, there are two discharge ports, each corresponding to one of the two storage cavities. Both discharge ports can extend from the second end of the enclosure 2, allowing the bean storage structure 100 to store a wider variety of bean types, more flexible storage methods, and more diverse functions.

[0047] As the number of discharge ports increases, the bottom structure of the main body 1 of the bean hopper also becomes more complex. By using the enclosure 2 to cover the outer periphery of both discharge ports, the overall appearance of the bean storage structure 100 becomes more aesthetically pleasing, and the main body 1 of the bean hopper is reinforced, making it stronger and more robust.

[0048] Preferably, the opening size of the first storage cavity 11 is the same as the opening size of the second storage cavity 12, allowing for better material discharge in both cavities. Furthermore, the separator 3 is inclined from the first storage cavity 11 towards the second storage cavity 12, so that on the orthographic projection along the plane containing the openings, both discharge ports are located within the corresponding opening area of ​​the second storage cavity 12, making the two discharge ports relatively closer together and facilitating easier control over their opening and closing.

[0049] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the two discharge ports can be a first discharge port 111 and a second discharge port 121, respectively. The bean storage structure 100 also includes a first cover 42 movably covering the first discharge port 111 and a second cover 41 movably covering the second discharge port 121. The first cover 42 is used to open and close the first discharge port 111, and the second cover 41 is used to open and close the second discharge port 121. The first cover 42 and the second cover 41 can be rotatably mounted on the bean storage body 1, or the first cover 42 and the second cover 41 can be detachably mounted on the bean storage body 1.

[0050] Preferably, the first cover 42 and the second cover 41 are arranged to move synchronously, which can open and close the two cavities at the same time, making the operation simpler and more convenient.

[0051] Specifically, in combination Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, when the two corresponding covers move synchronously, the first cover 42 includes a first cover plate 421, a driven member 422 disposed on one side of the first cover plate 421, and a first transmission rod 423 connecting the first cover plate 421 and the driven member 422. The first transmission rod 423 is rotatably mounted on the bean hopper body 1. The second cover 41 includes a second cover plate 411, a transmission member 412 disposed on one side of the second cover plate 411, and a second transmission rod 412 connecting the second cover plate 411 and the transmission member 412. 3. The second transmission rod 413 is rotatably mounted on the bean hopper body 1; wherein, the first cover plate 421 is movably covered at the first discharge port 111, and the second cover plate 411 is movably covered at the second discharge port 121; the transmission member 412 and the driven member 422 are meshed together; when the second transmission rod 413 is rotated by an external force, it drives the transmission member 412 and the second cover plate 411 to rotate together, and drives the driven member 422 to rotate, thereby driving the first cover plate 421 to rotate together. It can be understood that the second transmission rod 413 can be driven to rotate by a driver, making the coffee bean dispensing process more intelligent; or the second transmission rod 413 can be manually rotated, making the entire bean storage structure 100 simpler in structure.

[0052] Preferably, the second transmission rod 413 is manually rotated. The second transmission rod 413 is arranged in a columnar rod shape. One end of the second transmission rod 413 is connected to the second cover plate 411 and the transmission component 412. The other end of the second transmission rod 413 can extend into the second storage cavity 12 and bend towards the radial side of the second transmission rod 413 to facilitate manual rotation by the user and make adjustment easier.

[0053] Furthermore, the transmission component 412 is configured as a transmission gear plate, and the driven component 422 is configured as a driven gear plate. Both the transmission gear plate and the driven gear plate are provided with non-full-circle teeth, so that the transmission gear plate and the driven gear plate mesh with each other, and the meshing range allows the first cover plate 421 and the second cover plate 411 to fully open or close the corresponding material inlets. In addition, multiple limiting protrusions are provided at corresponding positions on the bean hopper body 1. These limiting protrusions abut against the transmission gear plate and the driven gear plate to limit their rotation range. This allows the user to better feel whether the corresponding cover plate has rotated to the correct position when rotating the first transmission rod 423.

[0054] Furthermore, the inclination angle of the bean hopper sidewall corresponding to the first storage cavity 11 is greater than the inclination angle of the bean hopper sidewall corresponding to the second storage cavity 12. This creates an accommodating space between the outer wall of the first storage cavity 11 and the enclosure member 2, allowing for a better connection structure to be installed between the outer wall of the first storage cavity 11 and the enclosure member 2 without occupying space outside the bean storage structure 100. Here, the inclination angle refers to the angle between the central axis of each bean hopper sidewall and the horizontal plane.

[0055] Preferably, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the mounting portion includes a plurality of first support columns 13 disposed on the outside of the first storage cavity 11 and a plurality of first mounting holes 14 disposed on the inside of the second storage cavity 12, the plurality of first support columns 13 being located within the accommodating space; the mating portion includes a plurality of second mounting holes 24 disposed on the inside of the enclosure member 2 and a plurality of second support columns 23, the plurality of second mounting holes 24 being arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of first support columns 13, the plurality of second support columns 23 being arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of first mounting holes 14; the bean storage structure 100 further includes a plurality of connectors, the plurality of connectors being respectively inserted through the plurality of second mounting holes 24 and the plurality of first support columns 13, and respectively inserted through the plurality of second support columns 23 and the plurality of first mounting holes 14, to connect and fix the bean hopper body 1 and the enclosure member 2, so that the bean hopper body 1 and the enclosure member 2 are relatively fixed.

[0056] During assembly, the connector between the first support column 13 and the second mounting hole 24 can be sequentially inserted into the second mounting hole 24 and the first support column 13 from the bottom of the bean hopper body 1 to lock and fix it from the bottom. The connector between the second support column 23 and the first mounting hole 14 can be sequentially inserted into the first mounting hole 14 and the second support column 23 from the second storage cavity 12 downwards to lock and fix it from the top of the bean hopper body 1 downwards. Multiple connectors form a multi-directional locking and fixing on the upper and lower sides, ensuring a more reliable fixation between the bean hopper body 1 and the enclosure 2.

[0057] In this design, at least one side of the second enclosure section 22 is inclined inward from the first enclosure section 21. A plurality of second mounting holes 24 are provided at the end of the second enclosure section 22 away from the first enclosure section 21. A plurality of second support columns 23 are provided at the transition between the second enclosure section 22 and the first enclosure section 21. This design ensures better strength of the enclosure component 2 while reducing obstruction of the bottom of the bean hopper body 1, thus facilitating the assembly and maintenance of the bottom cover of the bean hopper body 1.

[0058] This utility model also provides a beverage making device, which includes the aforementioned bean storage structure 100. The bean storage structure 100 is easier to fix, making the internal structure of the beverage making device more compact and occupying less space, thus making the beverage making device smaller in size.

[0059] The beverage preparation equipment can be any one of a coffee machine, a soy milk maker, or a high-speed blender.

[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model.
