TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a bean grinder, especially a bean box structure of a bean grinder. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the product category of coffee bean grinders, the bean box is a component that is frequently operated by users and often malfunctions. The function of the bean box is mainly to store beans. When the user grinds beans, the user often pours more beans into the bean box first, and the grinding chamber often has residual powder. The user needs to remove the bean box, take out the grinding disc for cleaning, and in the process of taking out, the beans in the bean box often leak out because some products are not designed with a bean box door, and the bottom of the bean box is in an open state after the bean box is separated from the machine, and the beans will directly flow out. In addition, some products are provided with an automatic bean sealing function, but the phenomenon of beans being stuck in the movable door or the movable door not being able to rebound often occurs, resulting in coffee beans leaking out from the bottom of the bean box. In addition, some products are provided with a movable door structure controlled by a rotary knob, but the rotary knob is designed inside the bean box, and the user needs to open the bean box cover and put his hand into the bean box to control it. Sometimes, the user needs to pour out part of the beans to see the rotary knob, and then operate the rotary knob to close the bean box door. This structure design affects the user's operation experience. Some products have a structure in which a motor automatically controls the rotary knob to control the movable door, such as Chinese Utility Model Patent No. CN218899224U. This structure design is indeed more convenient, but the motor is also prone to being stuck with beans during use, causing the motor to stop, and the user thinks that the bottom of the bean box is closed. When the bean box is taken out, the bean box door is often stuck with beans, causing the beans to leak out. At the same time, long-term use of the motor to close or open the bean box door causes the rotating shaft of the bean box door to break during rotation, which often causes user complaints. This structure has the defects of complex design and high cost.
[0003] In view of the fact that the current structure needs to be further improved, how to provide a bean grinder bean box structure that prevents the bean box door from being stuck with beans, prolongs the service life of the bean box door, and improves user experience will become the focus of the present utility model.
