The brewing bucket is configured to accommodate brewing materials. The brewing bucket is assembled in the mounting cavity. The brewing bucket has a liquid guide connector. The liquid outlet assembly is assembled in the mounting groove. The liquid outlet assembly is sealingly connected with the liquid guide connector through the communication channel.

[0005] The brewing bucket and the liquid outlet assembly can be assembled on the two sides of the brewing support away from each other, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the brewing bucket and the liquid outlet assembly with the brewing support. Therefore, the liquid outlet assembly and the brewing support can be assembled first, and then the brewing bucket can be disassembled and assembled with the brewing support independently, which is beneficial to reduce the disassembly difficulty of the brewing bucket. Moreover, the liquid outlet assembly is not directly assembled and fixed to the brewing bucket, which can simplify the brewing bucket and its associated structure, and facilitate the cleaning of the brewing bucket.

[0006] In some embodiments of the present application, the liquid guide connector extends away from one side of the outer wall of the brewing bucket. The liquid guide connector extends into the communication channel. The liquid outlet assembly has a first plug-in part. The first plug-in part is inserted into the liquid guide connector.

[0007] The liquid guide connector and the first plug-in part are plugged in to directly communicate the brewing bucket and the liquid outlet assembly, which reduces the setting of the transfer structure for the brewing liquid flow while making the brewing liquid in the brewing bucket flow out through the liquid outlet assembly, and is beneficial to improve the sealing between the brewing bucket and the liquid outlet assembly. Moreover, the liquid guide connector extends into the communication channel, which facilitates the positioning of the position of the liquid guide connector, on the one hand, it is convenient to confirm the position and posture of the brewing bucket assembled in the mounting cavity, and on the other hand, it is also convenient to plug in the liquid outlet assembly and the brewing bucket.

[0008] In some embodiments of the present application, the brewing support is provided with a positioning connector. The positioning connector is arranged at one end of the communication channel that is matched with the liquid outlet assembly. The liquid outlet assembly is provided with a second insertion part.

On the other hand, it is also convenient to make the liquid outlet assembly and the brewing cup insert and match. And the positioning connector is inserted between the first insertion part and the second insertion part. In the direction perpendicular to the insertion direction, a plurality of concave-convex matching structure relationships are formed between the liquid outlet assembly and the brewing support. It is beneficial to improve the sealing between the liquid outlet assembly and the communication channel, reduce the possibility of impurities or pollutants entering the communication channel, and reduce the possibility of the liquid guide connector and the first insertion part being polluted when they are inserted and matched through the communication channel.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present application, the liquid outlet assembly includes a liquid outlet pipe and a sealing member. The liquid outlet pipe is provided with a first insertion part.

[0013] The piston moves in the brewing cup to push the brewed material in the brewing cup out of the brewing cup, which is convenient for putting new brewing material into the brewing cup for the next brewing.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, the brewing cup assembly further includes a linkage. The linkage is connected with the piston to make the linkage and the piston move synchronously. The linkage is provided with a limiting part. The limiting part is configured to be inserted with an external structure in a direction intersecting with the moving direction of the piston.

[0015] The brewing cup needs to carry the brewing material from the material placing position to the brewing position. The piston is limited by the linkage and the external structure, so that the piston is relatively fixed and can be moved by moving the brewing cup. The piston does not need to be driven and controlled separately, and the structure is simplified. The limiting portion of the linkage and the external structure are inserted and matched to relatively fix the piston. The direction of the insertion and matching of the limiting portion and the external structure intersects the moving direction of the piston, which helps to avoid the external structure from hindering the movement of the piston and the brewing cup, to simplify the structure for controlling the movement of the brewing cup, to reduce the difficulty of controlling the movement of the brewing cup and the piston, and to improve the stability of the movement of the brewing cup and the piston, thereby improving the stability of the transfer of the brewing material out of the brewing cup.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, the brewing support is provided with a position avoiding opening. The position avoiding opening is in communication with the mounting cavity. The limiting portion passes through the position avoiding opening.

[0017] The limiting portion passes through the position avoiding opening and is inserted and matched with the external structure, so that the linkage, the piston and the brewing cup are arranged in the mounting cavity, which is beneficial to simplify the connection structure of the linkage and the piston.

Thus, the liquid outlet assembly and the brewing support can be assembled first, and then the brewing cup can be disassembled and assembled with the brewing support independently, which is beneficial to reduce the disassembly and assembly difficulty of the brewing cup. Moreover, the liquid outlet assembly is not directly assembled and fixed to the brewing cup, which can simplify the brewing cup and its associated structure, facilitating the cleaning of the brewing cup.

[0043] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the case of no conflict, the embodiments described below and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0044] An embodiment of the present application provides an automatic brewing machine. The automatic brewing machine is used to brew and prepare brewing materials into a brewing liquid. The overall structure of the automatic brewing machine is not shown.

[0046] Referring to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the automatic brewing machine includes a machine box (not shown in the figure) and a brewing mechanism 100. The brewing mechanism 100 is assembled in the machine box. The brewing mechanism 100 can hold the brewing material, and injecting water or other liquids into the brewing mechanism 100 can brew the brewing liquid.

[0047] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the brewing mechanism 100 includes a brewing support 10, a brewing cup assembly 20 and a liquid outlet assembly 30. The brewing cup assembly 20 is configured to accommodate the brewing material. The brewing cup assembly 20 and the liquid outlet assembly 30 are assembled to the brewing support 10. The brewing cup assembly 20 and the liquid outlet assembly 30 are in communication, and the brewing liquid brewed by the brewing cup assembly 20 is outputted outward through the liquid outlet assembly 30.

[0048] In some embodiments, the brewing support 10 and the machine box are detachably connected to realize the disassembly and assembly of the brewing mechanism 100 as a whole and the machine box. And the brewing cup 21 and the machine box can be disassembled step by step, reducing the number and size of structures disassembled in a single step, and facilitating the disassembly and assembly.

[0049] In some embodiments, the automatic brewing machine further includes a driving mechanism (not shown in the figure). The brewing support 10 is connected with the driving mechanism. The driving mechanism is configured to drive the brewing support 10 to move, thereby driving the brewing cup assembly 20 to move, so as to move the brewing cup 21 to various positions such as a position for taking the brewing material, a position for brewing, etc., and complete the brewing operation.

[0050] In some embodiments, the brewing support 10 has a mounting cavity 11, a mounting groove 12 and a communication passage 13. The mounting cavity 11 and the mounting groove 12 are located on the two sides of the brewing support 10 away from each other.

[0051] The brewing cup 21 and the liquid outlet assembly 30 can be assembled on the two sides of the brewing support 10 away from each other, so that the brewing cup 21 and the liquid outlet assembly 30 can be assembled and disassembled with the brewing support 10 respectively. Thus, the liquid outlet assembly 30 and the brewing support 10 can be assembled first, and then the brewing cup 21 can be assembled and disassembled with the brewing support 10 independently, which is beneficial to reduce the difficulty of assembling and disassembling the brewing cup 21. Moreover, the liquid outlet assembly 30 is not directly assembled and fixed to the brewing cup 21, which can simplify the brewing cup 21 and its associated structure, and facilitate the cleaning of the brewing cup 21.

[0052] It can be understood that, in some embodiments, the brewing support 10 forms a semi-enclosed structure to enclose the mounting cavity 11, so as to constrain the relative position of the brewing cup 21.

[0053] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the liquid guide connector 211 extends along the outer wall of the brewing cup 21 away from one side of the brewing cup 21, the liquid guide connector 211 extends into the communication channel 13, and the liquid outlet assembly 30 has a first plug-in part 311 which is inserted into the liquid guide connector 211.

[0054] The liquid guide connector 211 and the first plug-in part 311 are plugged in to directly communicate the brewing cup 21 and the liquid outlet assembly 30, which reduces the setting of the transfer structure for the brewing liquid to flow out while the brewing liquid in the brewing cup 21 flows out through the liquid outlet assembly 30, and is beneficial to improve the sealing between the brewing cup 21 and the liquid outlet assembly 30. Moreover, the liquid guide connector 211 extends into the communication channel 13, which is beneficial to position the liquid guide connector 211, on the one hand, it is beneficial to confirm the position and posture of the brewing cup 21 assembled in the mounting cavity 11, and on the other hand, it is also beneficial to plug in the liquid outlet assembly 30 and the brewing cup 21.

[0055] It can be understood that, in some embodiments, the inner wall of the brewing cup 21 encloses a region for accommodating brewing materials relative to the outer wall of the brewing cup 21. That is, the brewing cup 21 protrudes the liquid guide connector 211 on the outer wall, and the liquid guide connector 211 communicates with the region enclosed by the inner wall of the brewing cup 21 to flow out the brewing liquid.

[0056] In other embodiments, the liquid guide connector 211 and the first plug-in part 311 respectively communicate with the communication channel 13, and the brewing liquid flows to the first plug-in part 311 after entering the communication channel 13 through the liquid guide connector 211, and flows out through the liquid outlet assembly 30.

[0057] Referring to Figures 2 to 4In some embodiments, the liquid guide connector 211 and the communication channel 13 are insertedly fitted, the liquid guide connector 211 abuts against the communication channel 13 in the radial direction of the extension of the communication channel 13, and the relative fixation of the liquid guide connector 211 and the brewing support 10 is facilitated to improve the stability of the connection between the brewing cup 21 and the liquid outlet assembly 30.

[0058] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the brewing support 10 is provided with a positioning connector 14. The communication channel 13 extends to the positioning connector 14. The positioning connector 14 is arranged at one end of the communication channel 13 that is fitted with the liquid outlet assembly 30.

[0059] In some embodiments, the liquid outlet assembly 30 is provided with a second insertion part 312. The second insertion part 312 is arranged around the first insertion part 311. The positioning connector 14 and the second insertion part 312 are insertedly fitted. And the positioning connector 14 is insertedly fitted between the second insertion part 312 and the first insertion part 311.

[0060] Through the inserted fitting of the positioning connector 14 and the second insertion part 312, the position of the first insertion part 311 can be positioned. On the one hand, it is convenient to confirm the position and posture of the liquid outlet assembly 30 assembled in the mounting groove 12, and on the other hand, it is also convenient to make the liquid outlet assembly 30 and the brewing cup 21 insertedly fitted. And the positioning connector 14 is insertedly fitted between the first insertion part 311 and the second insertion part 312, which can form a plurality of concave-convex fitting structural relationships between the liquid outlet assembly 30 and the brewing support 10 in the direction perpendicular to the insertion direction, which is conducive to improving the sealing between the liquid outlet assembly 30 and the communication channel 13, reducing the possibility of impurities or pollutants entering the communication channel 13, and reducing the possibility of the liquid guide connector 211 and the first insertion part 311 being contaminated when insertedly fitted through the communication channel 13.

[0061] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the brewing cup assembly 20 further includes a piston 22, which is arranged in the brewing cup 21 and is configured to move relative to the brewing cup 21.

[0062] The piston 22 moves in the brewing cup 21 to push the brewed material in the brewing cup 21 out of the brewing cup 21, which facilitates the placement of new brewing material into the brewing cup 21 for the next brewing.

[0063] In some embodiments, the brewing cup assembly 20 further comprises a linkage 23. The linkage 23 is connected with the piston 22 to move synchronously with the piston 22, and the linkage 23 is provided with a limiting portion 231 configured to be inserted into an external structure in a direction intersecting the moving direction of the piston 22.

[0064] The brewing cup 21 needs to carry the brewing material from the material placing position to the brewing position. The piston 22 is limited by the linkage 23 and the external structure to be relatively fixed, so that the movement of the piston 22 relative to the brewing cup 21 can be realized by moving the brewing cup 21, without the need for separate driving control of the piston 22, thus simplifying the structure. The limiting portion 231 of the linkage 23 and the external structure are inserted into each other in a direction intersecting the moving direction of the piston 22, which helps to avoid the external structure from hindering the movement of the piston 22 and the brewing cup 21, and can simplify the structure for controlling the movement of the brewing cup 21, reduce the difficulty of controlling the movement of the brewing cup 21 and the piston 22, and improve the stability of the movement of the brewing cup 21 and the piston 22, thereby improving the stability of transferring the brewing material out of the brewing cup 21.

[0065] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the limiting portion 231 is provided with an insertion slot 2311. The extension direction of the insertion slot 2311 intersects the moving direction of the piston 22. The external structure is inserted into the limiting portion 231 through the insertion slot 2311 by moving or deforming, which is beneficial to simplify the structure of the linkage 23 and reduce the difficulty of structural cooperation between the brewing cup assembly 20 and the brewing support 10. In other embodiments, the insertion slot 2311 can be omitted, and the limiting portion 231 is inserted into the external structure by being provided with a structure capable of deforming elastically or a structure capable of deforming by being driven, to realize the limiting cooperation.

[0066] In some embodiments, the limiting portion 231 is provided with a plurality of limiting portions 231. The plurality of limiting portions 231 are distributed at intervals. The distribution direction of the plurality of limiting portions 231 intersects the moving direction of the piston 22 and the direction of being inserted into the external structure, so as to improve the stability of the limiting cooperation between the linkage 23 and the external structure.

[0067] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the brewing support 10 is provided with an avoiding opening 15, the avoiding opening 15 is in communication with the mounting cavity 11, and the limiting portion 231 passes through the avoiding opening 15 to be inserted into the external structure.

[0068] The limiting portion 231 passes through the brewing support 10 and the external structure through the avoiding opening 15, and is inserted and fitted, so that the linkage 23 and the piston 22 and the brewing cup 21 are arranged in the mounting cavity 11 together, and the connection structure of the linkage 23 and the piston 22 is facilitated to be simplified.

[0069] Referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the brewing cup assembly 20 further comprises a locking unit 24. The locking unit 24 is connected to the brewing cup 21, so that the brewing cup assembly 20 is detachably connected to the brewing support 10. The locking unit 24 has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking unit 24 is in the locked state, the locking unit 24 and the brewing support 10 are connected. When the locking unit 24 is in the unlocked state, the locking unit 24 and the brewing support 10 are separated.

[0070] The locking unit 24 is connected to the brewing cup 21, and by switching the connection relationship between the locking unit 24 and the brewing support 10, the connection relationship between the brewing cup 21 and the brewing support 10 can be changed. When the locking unit 24 is in the locked state, the brewing cup 21 can be fixedly connected to the brewing support 10, so that the brewing cup 21 and the liquid outlet assembly 30 are stably connected. When the locking unit 24 is in the unlocked state, the brewing cup 21 can be separated from the brewing support 10, so as to facilitate the maintenance or cleaning of the brewing cup 21.

[0071] In some embodiments, the limiting portion 231 extends to the side away from the locking unit 24, which is beneficial to prevent the locking unit 24 from hindering the movement of the limiting portion 231 relative to the brewing cup 21 along with the piston 22.

[0072] In some embodiments, the locking unit 24 comprises a lock catch 241 and an elastic member 242. The lock catch 241 is rotatably arranged relative to the brewing cup 21. The elastic member 242 is connected to the lock catch 241 to apply an elastic force to the lock catch 241, so that the lock catch 241 is located at a position at which the locking unit 24 is in the locked state. When the brewing cup 21 is assembled to the mounting cavity 11, the elastic member 242 applies the elastic force to the lock catch 241, so that the lock catch 241 is limitingly fitted with the brewing support 10. When it is needed to detach the brewing cup 21 from the mounting cavity 11, a user applies a force to the lock catch 241 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 242, so that the lock catch 241 is disengaged from the brewing support 10, and thus the locking unit 24 is in the unlocked state.

[0073] In some embodiments, the locking unit 24 further comprises a locking assembly seat 243. The locking assembly seat 243 is connected to the brewing cup 21. The lock catch 241 is rotatably arranged in the locking assembly seat 243.

The brewing kettle 21 and the liquid outlet pipe 31 are communicated, so that the brewing liquid in the brewing kettle 21 can flow out. The sealing member 32 is provided to improve the sealing performance at the first insertion part 311 and the liquid guide connector 211.

[0076] In some embodiments, the brewing support 10 is provided with a positioning groove 16, which is communicated with the mounting groove 12. The liquid outlet assembly 30 further comprises a positioning part 33. The positioning part 33 is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 31. The shape of the positioning part 33 is adapted to the shape of the positioning groove 16, so as to position the relative position of the liquid outlet pipe 31 when the liquid outlet pipe 31 is assembled, and to improve the stability of the assembly of the liquid outlet pipe 31 relative to the brewing support 10.

[0077] It can be understood that, in some embodiments, the positioning part 33 and the liquid outlet pipe 31 are integrally formed.

[0078] Referring to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the brewing mechanism 100 further comprises a baffle 40. The baffle 40 is connected to the side of the mounting groove 12 of the brewing support 10, so as to prevent the liquid outlet assembly 30 from being separated from the mounting groove 12.
