[0035] In the embodiment, the support portion 23 is centrally symmetrically formed outwardly along the bottom edge of the bean outlet sheltering portion 22, the center of the bean outlet sheltering portion 22 has a circular hole, the lower end of the operating lever 21 is inserted into the circular hole and fixedly connected to the center position of the bean outlet sheltering portion 22, further, the opening 31 of the coffee machine upper seat 3 has a circumferential groove 311 formed inwardly along the inner wall of the opening, the support portion 23 can rotate circumferentially in the circumferential groove 311, the shape of the opening portion 312 of the top surface of the opening is adapted to the shape of the bean outlet sheltering portion 22, so that when the bean outlet sheltering portion 22 corresponds to the position of the bean outlet, lifting the operating lever 21 can make the support portion 23 move out of the opening of the coffee machine upper seat 3 and support the bottom of the bean box 1, and the bean outlet sheltering portion 22 completely closes the bean outlet. The bean outlet channel 313 for the coffee beans to enter the inside of the coffee machine from the bean box 1 is formed below the opening 31, when the bean outlet is in the open or half-open state, the bean outlet of the bean box 1 is communicated with the bean outlet channel 313.

[0036] When assembling the bean box 1, the operating rod 21 is first inserted into the circular hole, and the upper surface of the bean outlet cover 22 is kept flush with the lower surface of the bottom cover of the bean box 1. At this time, the bean outlet and the bean outlet cover 22 are aligned at the center, and the bean outlet cover 22 is rotated relative to the bean outlet. During the rotation, the bean outlet cover 22 partially or completely covers the bean outlet 11, thereby realizing the size adjustment and opening and closing of the bean outlet, as shown in Figure 5 .

[0037] In the embodiment, the height of the circumferential groove 311 is slightly greater than the thickness of the supporting portion 23, and the diameter of the circumferential groove 311 is slightly greater than the maximum distance between the edge of the supporting portion 23 and the operating rod 21, so as to ensure that the supporting portion 23 of the shutter assembly 2 can rotate freely in the circumferential groove 311 without a large gap. Preferably, the thickness of the bean outlet is equal to the thickness of the bean outlet cover 22, so as to ensure that when the bean outlet and the bean outlet cover are aligned, the bean box is flat after the operating rod is lifted upward. When the supporting portion 23 is limited in the circumferential groove 311, the upper surface of the bean outlet cover 22 is lower than or flush with the upper surface of the opening, so as to ensure that when the bean outlet cover is not closed or completely closed, the bean box can be placed on the coffee machine, and the bottom of the bean box does not interfere with the bean outlet cover. In the embodiment, when the bean outlet cover 22 is rotated to be aligned with the bean outlet, the operating rod 21 is lifted upward, so that the bean outlet cover 22 is clamped into the bean outlet, and the lower surface of the bean outlet cover 22 is flush with the lower surface of the bottom cover of the bean box 1.
