Pouring methods include circular, spiral, sprinkler, and concentrated jet pouring, and the speed and timing of the pour are carefully considered to create a delicious cup of coffee. To meet the needs of coffee lovers, current coffee machines have developed mechanisms that can simulate manual pouring. However, these mechanisms are currently quite complex and have high production costs.

The water outlet is rotatably connected in the oblong hole and can rotate on the vertical surface of the rotating shaft fixing member. A convex ring is provided on the driven gear, and a lever passes through the convex ring and the limiting part and is connected to the water outlet. When the motor rotates forward, the driven gear is driven to rotate through the driving gear, and the convex ring moves the lever to abut against the first limiting surface.

[0028] Example
[0029] Depend on Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an automatic rotating water outlet mechanism, including a base plate 1 and a motor 2 coupled to the base plate. The output end of the motor 2 is connected to a drive gear 21. The base plate 1 is provided with a circular mounting groove 11. It also includes: a rotating shaft fixing member 3, which is rotatably disposed in the mounting groove. A waist-shaped hole 32 is provided at the middle of its end face. A limiting part 5 is provided on one side of the waist-shaped hole 32. The limiting part 5 has a first limiting surface 51 and a second limiting surface 52; and a water outlet 6, used to connect to the water outlet pipe 93 of the water outlet device to outlet water. The nozzle 6 is rotatably connected in the waist-shaped hole 32. The nozzle 6 can rotate on the vertical surface of the rotating shaft fixing member 3, so that it can be perpendicular or inclined to the rotating shaft fixing member 3. When the nozzle 6 is perpendicular to the rotating shaft fixing member 3, it is coaxial with the rotating shaft fixing member 3. The driven gear 7 is rotatably sleeved on the side of the mounting groove 11 and meshes with the driving gear 21, so that the motor 2 can drive the driven gear 7 to rotate through the driving gear 21. The end face of the driven gear 7 is provided with a convex ring 71. The lever 8 passes through the convex ring 71 and the limiting part 5 in sequence and is connected to the nozzle 6.
[0030] Specifically, an elastic element 31 is provided between the rotating shaft fixing component 3 and the mounting groove 11. The elastic element 31 can be a metal sheet, a ball bearing, or an elastic sealing ring, etc., to provide damping and reduce the frictional loss of the rotating shaft fixing component 3. A support frame 4 is provided on the side of the waist-shaped hole 32 opposite to the limiting part 5. A through hole 41 is provided in the middle of the support frame 4. A rotating rod 61 is connected to the side of the water outlet 6. The water outlet 6 is rotatably connected to the support frame 4 through the cooperation of the rotating rod 61 and the through hole 41, and the bottom end of the water outlet 6 extends out of the waist-shaped hole 32. A slot 72 is provided on the convex ring 71. The lever 8 is placed in the slot 72. The width of the slot 72 is slightly larger than the diameter of the lever 8, so that the lever 8 can move within the slot. The limiting part 5 has a limiting groove, the lever 8 is located in the limiting groove, the first limiting surface 51 and the second limiting surface 52 are located on both sides of the limiting groove, and the width of the limiting groove is greater than the diameter of the lever 8 and the width of the slot 72, so that the lever 8 can be moved left and right to abut against the first limiting surface 51 or the second limiting surface 52, thereby driving the water outlet 6 to rotate on the vertical surface of the rotating shaft fixing member 3.
[0031] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the motor rotates forward (counter-clockwise), the driving gear 21 drives the driven gear 7 to rotate clockwise. The convex ring 71 pushes the lever 8 to the left through the slot 72 until it abuts against the first limiting surface 51, aligning the spout 6 so that it is perpendicular to the rotating shaft fixing member 3, thus achieving a concentrated water jet type water outlet. When the motor rotates in reverse (clockwise), the driving gear 21 drives the driven gear 7 to rotate counter-clockwise. The convex ring 71 pushes the lever 8 to the right through the slot 72 until it abuts against the second limiting surface 52. At this time, the spout 6 is rotated and tilted against the rotating shaft fixing member 3. When the motor continues to rotate, the rotating shaft fixing member 3 can be driven to rotate synchronously, thus enabling the spout 6 to achieve a circular, surrounding water outlet. The water outlet mechanism of this application can achieve both circular, surrounding, and concentrated water jet type coffee brewing through a single motor rotation. It has a simple structure, small size, simple control, no need for a positioning detection mechanism, and low cost.
[0032] Furthermore, the top surface of the base plate 1 is provided with a cover plate 12, and a cavity is formed between the base plate 1 and the cover plate 12. Both the driven gear and the driving gear are located in the cavity. The motor 12 is connected to the cover plate 12, and its output end passes through the cover plate 12 and is connected to the driving gear 21, thereby sealing the internal rotating structure and preventing damage caused by external objects.
[0033] Depend on Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, this application also provides a water dispensing device, including a housing 91, a water supply mechanism 92, and any of the aforementioned automatic rotating water dispensing mechanisms. The housing 91 is connected to a cover plate 12, and a motor is housed within the housing 91. The water supply mechanism 92 can be connected to an external water supply device to supply water. The water supply mechanism 92 is coupled to the housing 91, and its outlet end has a water outlet pipe 93. The water outlet pipe 93 is a flexible hose, and its outlet end is fitted inside a water outlet 6 and can slide relative to the water outlet 6. The water dispensing device can be a water purifier, coffee machine, or other similar equipment.
[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
