Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee machine technology, and in particular to a coffee machine feed cup with manually controlled flow rate. Background Technology
[0002] Coffee machines require pre-grinding and mixing coffee beans, hence the presence of a stirring blade. A container is built into the blade to hold the beans. However, coffee beans can accumulate on the blade, causing the mixing process to stall, resulting in low efficiency and a shorter lifespan.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new type of manually controlled flow coffee machine feed cup to solve the above problems. This would address the issue that coffee beans placed in the feed cup of traditional coffee machines tend to accumulate on the mixing blades, causing the mixing process to become stuck, resulting in low mixing efficiency and a short service life. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a coffee machine feed cup with manually controlled flow rate, which solves the problem that coffee beans placed in the feed cup of traditional coffee machines tend to accumulate on the mixing blade, causing the mixing to become stuck, resulting in low mixing efficiency and a short service life.
[0005] The technical problem solved by this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution:
[0006] A coffee machine feed cup with manually controlled flow includes a cup body, with a feed inlet and a discharge outlet at the top and bottom of the cup body. A base plate is provided at the discharge outlet, and a discharge hole is provided on the base plate. A rotating disk that rotates around a vertical axis is placed on the base plate, and a through hole corresponding to the discharge hole is provided on the rotating disk.
[0007] Furthermore, the rotating disc extends a lever outward from the cup body.
[0008] Furthermore, the lever is located on the side wall of the rotary disc, the cup body has a slot, the lever extends out of the slot, and the lever can move along the slot.
[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a paddle, which is located on the outside of the cup body and connected to the paddle block.
[0010] Furthermore, the paddle is in the shape of a long arc.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom plate has protrusions on its edge, and the inner wall of the cup has grooves that engage with the protrusions.
[0012] Furthermore, the disc is located at the bottom of the cup body.
[0013] Furthermore, the top surface of the rotating disk is concave downwards.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] This invention features a base plate with a discharge hole at the cup's outlet. A rotating disk, oriented around a vertical axis, is placed on the base plate and has a through-hole corresponding to the discharge hole. During use, coffee beans are placed into the cup, and the disk is rotated. The coffee machine's feed flow is maximized when the through-hole aligns with the discharge hole. Feeding ends when the through-hole closes with the discharge hole. The rotation process can generate varying feed flow rates. This allows for customized feed flow rates, avoiding problems such as jamming, low stirring efficiency, and shortened lifespan caused by obstructed stirring. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.
[0022] See Figures 1 to 3A manually controlled coffee machine feed cup includes a cup body 1, with a feed inlet 2 and a discharge outlet 3 at the top and bottom of the cup body 1. A base plate 4 is located at the discharge outlet 3, and the base plate 4 has a discharge hole 40. A rotating disk 5, which rotates around a vertical axis, is placed on the base plate 4. The rotating disk 5 has a through hole 50 corresponding to the discharge hole 40. In use, coffee beans are placed into the cup body 1, and the rotating disk 5 is rotated. When the through hole 50 aligns with the discharge hole 40, the coffee machine's feed flow is at its maximum. When the rotation closes the through hole 50 and the discharge hole 40, the feeding ends. Different feed flow rates can be generated during the rotation process. This allows for obtaining the appropriate feed flow rate according to needs, avoiding problems such as jamming, low stirring efficiency, and short service life caused by obstructed stirring.
[0023] The dial 5 extends outward from the cup body 1 to form a lever 51. This facilitates the adjustment of the dial 5.
[0024] The lever 51 is disposed on the side wall of the rotary disc 5. The cup wall of the cup body 1 has a slot 11 that penetrates the inner and outer walls of the cup wall near the discharge port 3. The rotary disc 5 is disposed inside the discharge port 3. The lever 51 extends out of the slot 11 and can move along the slot 11. This limits the range of movement of the lever 51, allowing the through hole 50 to be adjusted between the open and closed ranges.
[0025] It also includes a paddle 6, which is located on the outside of the cup body 1 and connected to the paddle block 51. The paddle 6 increases the contact area between the adjustment point and the user's fingers, making adjustment easier and more comfortable.
[0026] The paddle 6 is a long, curved piece. This further enhances comfort and aesthetics, and can significantly conceal the slot 11.
[0027] The base plate 4 has a protrusion 7 on its edge, and the inner wall of the cup body 1 has a groove 10 that engages with the protrusion 7. This facilitates the installation of the base plate 4 inside the cup body 1.
[0028] The rotating disc 5 is located at the bottom inside the cup body 1. This allows the top of the cup body 1 to be used for storing coffee beans, while the bottom of the cup body 1 is used to regulate the feed flow rate.
[0029] The top surface of the rotating disc 5 is concave downwards. This prevents coffee beans from remaining inside the bottom and around the cup body 1, allowing for smoother feeding, avoiding residue, and improving the freshness of the coffee beans.
[0030] 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 claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
