Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee machine technology, and specifically to a coffee machine with a coffee cup cleaning mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Because traditional coffee processing requires manual grinding and is a cumbersome process, people applied electronic technology to coffee machines, which enabled the automatic control of the entire coffee brewing process, including grinding, tamping, filling, brewing, and cleaning up the residue, thus creating the coffee machine.
[0003] When using existing coffee machines, some coffee drips after dispensing. The dripping coffee lands on the base and splashes around the machine. When too much coffee accumulates in the water tank on the base, it needs to be cleaned, which is quite inconvenient. Furthermore, it does not have a function to clean coffee cups. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a coffee machine with a coffee cup cleaning mechanism to solve the problems that during the use of the coffee machine, some coffee drips down after the coffee is dispensed, and the dripping coffee falls on the base and splashes around the machine. In addition, when too much coffee accumulates in the water tank on the base, it needs to be cleaned, which is quite inconvenient and does not have a function to clean coffee cups.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a coffee machine with a coffee cup cleaning mechanism, comprising a coffee machine body, a water tank fixedly provided on one side of the coffee machine body, and a cleaning mechanism provided on one side of the water tank;
[0006] The cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning pipe, which is fixedly installed on one side of the water tank. An inner plate is fixedly installed inside the cleaning pipe, and a cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the inner plate. A spring is installed inside the cylinder. A cylinder is installed on one side of the cylinder, with one end of the cylinder extending into the cylinder and a plug fixedly installed on the other end of the cylinder. Multiple nozzles are opened on one side of the cleaning pipe.
[0007] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism further includes an inner cylinder, which is disposed inside the cleaning pipe. A plurality of circular grooves are opened on one side of the inner cylinder, and a fixing rod is fixedly provided on one side of the inner cylinder. One end of the fixing rod is in contact with the plug. A plurality of connecting plates are fixedly provided on the outer surface of the inner cylinder, and a connecting ring is fixedly provided on one side of the plurality of connecting plates.
[0008] Preferably, the outer surface of the cleaning pipe is provided with multiple side grooves, and the connecting plate passes through the side grooves and is slidably connected to the side grooves.
[0009] Preferably, the coffee machine body and the bottom of the water tank are fixedly provided with multiple support columns.
[0010] Preferably, a drain box is fixedly provided at the bottom of the water tank, and a drain pipe is fixedly provided at the bottom of the drain box.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the sewage box is fixedly provided with multiple support legs.
[0012] Preferably, a concave mesh is fixedly installed inside the water tank.
[0013] Preferably, the plug is in contact with the inner wall of the cleaning pipe.
[0014] The present invention has the following advantages:
[0015] 1. With its innovative cleaning mechanism design, users can simply press the coffee cup upside down onto the cleaning tube to start the cleaning process. This design not only simplifies the cleaning steps and improves cleaning efficiency, but also makes the cleaning process more intuitive and easier to operate. In addition, multiple nozzles on one side of the cleaning tube can spray water evenly to ensure that the inside of the coffee cup is thoroughly cleaned.
[0016] 2. The drain box and drain pipe at the bottom of the sink can conveniently collect and discharge the wastewater and coffee residue generated during the cleaning process. The concave mesh not only prevents coffee from splashing when it drips, but also allows wastewater to flow smoothly into the drain box, thus achieving an environmentally friendly and energy-saving sewage discharge effect. The rinsing water falls into the sink and washes the surface of the concave mesh, thereby washing away the coffee and improving the cleaning effect. Attached Figure Description
