[0002] With the improvement of living standards, coffee has gradually become a common beverage in modern urban life. Due to the fast pace of life, coffee machines that can quickly brew coffee have become popular. Current coffee machine funnels typically use a bottomless design, which is simple in structure, low in manufacturing cost, and widely used in coffee machines. However, in the design of existing bottomless funnels, uneven grinding techniques by users can lead to coffee powder being ground into particles of varying coarseness, insufficient compaction, or even uneven distribution. During the brewing process with hot water, this can easily cause coffee liquid to splash out, not only wasting coffee and polluting the surrounding environment, increasing cleaning workload, but also posing a risk of burns to users, resulting in poor safety. Furthermore, due to the large open bottom of the funnel, the coffee liquid cannot be effectively guided and its flow rate controlled, leading to unstable brewing quality and inconsistent taste.

[0019] Figure 3 This is an exploded view of the funnel structure in this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. A coffee machine funnel with anti-splash function includes a mounting base 2 and a handle 1 detachably mounted on its side wall. The funnel 5 is embedded in the upper port of the mounting base 2, and a protective cover 3 is covered and connected to the lower port of the mounting base 2. The protective cover 3 is inserted into the lower port of the mounting base 2.
[0021] The mounting base 2 has a recessed lower mounting groove 21 on its inner side wall. An elastic ring 4 is embedded in the lower mounting groove 21 and protrudes from the lower mounting groove 21 to connect with the outer side wall of the protective cover 3.
[0022] The protective cover 3 has a hollow interior forming a receiving groove 31, which is connected to the funnel 5; the bottom of the protective cover 3 is open and has a water outlet 32.
[0023] The outer cylindrical surface of the protective cover 3 protrudes from the limiting platform 33. The protective cover 3 is inserted and connected to the port of the mounting base 2, and the limiting platform 33 is snapped into the bottom of the mounting base 2.
[0024] The protective cover 3 is made of transparent material.
[0025] The inner wall of the mounting base 2 is also recessed with an upper mounting groove 22, and an elastic ring 4 is embedded in the upper mounting groove 22. The elastic ring 4 partially protrudes from the upper mounting groove 22 and connects with the outer wall of the funnel 5.
[0026] The diameter of the bottom opening of the funnel 5 is smaller than the diameter of the top opening of the protective cover 3.
[0027] The elastic ring 4 is a retaining ring.
[0028] The mounting base 2 has a recessed threaded hole 23 on its side wall. Correspondingly, a threaded post 11 protrudes from the end of the handle 1. The threaded post 11 is screwed into the threaded hole 23, and the handle 1 is detachably connected to the mounting base 2 as a whole.
[0029] Working Principle: In this design, a funnel is embedded at the upper port of the mounting base, while a protective cover covers the lower port. When hot water is used to brew coffee grounds, the diameter of the bottom opening of the funnel is smaller than the diameter of the top opening of the protective cover. This ensures that all the coffee liquid flows evenly into the receiving slot within the protective cover and exits through the outlet at the bottom of the cover. The hollow receiving slot collects all the coffee liquid flowing from the funnel and guides and buffers the flow rate, making the coffee liquid flow more evenly as it exits the machine. This optimizes the flow of the coffee liquid, ensures the stability of the brewing quality, effectively prevents coffee liquid splashing, maintains a clean and hygienic environment around the coffee machine, reduces the amount of cleaning required by the user, avoids the personal danger posed by hot coffee liquid splashing, and improves the safety of using the coffee machine.
[0030] The protective cover is made of transparent material, allowing users to visually observe the coffee liquid during the brewing process, optimize its flow rate, and promptly detect and adjust the brewing process to improve the quality of the coffee beverage.
[0031] A lower mounting groove is recessed on the inner wall of the mounting base. An elastic ring is fitted into this groove, with a portion protruding from the groove to connect with the outer wall of the protective cover. During the insertion process of the protective cover at the top, the elastic ring secures the cover. The external elastic pressure of the ring ensures the protective cover remains stable during operation, preventing it from falling off or shifting due to external forces, thus improving the safety of the equipment. After the protective cover is installed with the mounting base, the protruding limiting platform on the outer cylindrical surface of the protective cover aligns with the bottom of the mounting base, positioning the protective cover precisely and locking the relative position between the cover and the mounting base.
[0032] Furthermore, the elastic ring can seal the gap between the protective cover and the mounting base, improving the sealing performance of the funnel, ensuring that the coffee liquid will not splash out, and avoiding leakage problems.
[0033] The connection between the funnel and the mounting base can also be achieved using a protective cover. An upper mounting groove is recessed on the inner wall of the mounting base. An elastic ring is fitted into the upper mounting groove and partially protrudes from it to connect with the outer wall of the funnel. This not only connects and fixes the funnel but also improves its sealing performance, preventing coffee from splashing out.
[0034] The aforementioned elastic ring can be replaced with a snap ring, which is simple in structure, low in manufacturing cost, and low in replacement and maintenance cost. Users can replace the elastic ring according to actual usage to ensure that the funnel and protective cover are always in ideal working condition. In addition, the detachable structure makes it easy for users to disassemble the funnel, thus facilitating cleaning and subsequent reassembly, and therefore it can be widely used.
[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
