Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a waste capsule storage structure and a tea brewing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Tea makers are widely accepted due to their convenience in brewing beverages. The general workflow of a capsule tea maker is as follows: beverage capsules are inserted into the brewing chamber for brewing. After brewing, the capsules are called waste capsules. These waste capsules can be electrically disposed of into a waste capsule compartment below the brewing chamber, or manually by opening the brewing chamber lid, which allows a linkage mechanism to dispose of the waste capsules into the waste capsule compartment. The waste capsule compartment is used to collect waste capsules and catch any remaining water that falls from the brewing chamber after brewing. The waste capsule compartment usually has a full indicator function to prevent users from unaware that the compartment is full and continuing to brew and dispose of capsules, which could cause waste capsules to become stuck between the brewing chamber and the waste capsule compartment, rendering the entire machine unusable.

[0003] Existing tea maker models on the market use software counting for their capsule emptying reminder function. When a user presses the brew button to start brewing a capsule, it counts as the first capsule; pressing the button again counts as the second capsule, and so on, until the machine reaches a predetermined number of capsules. At this point, the software reminds the user to remove the capsule emptying compartment for cleaning. The machine determines whether the compartment is clean by whether the capsule has been removed and then replaced. If it detects this, it considers the compartment clean. However, this method cannot detect whether capsules are actually inside the compartment, which presents a problem. When a certain number of capsules have been discarded but the reminder number hasn't been reached, the user might habitually remove the compartment to check without cleaning it before putting it back. This resets the capsule count in the software, and the machine assumes the compartment is clean and starts counting again. This results in the actual number of capsules accumulated in the compartment exceeding the software count. In other words, when the actual number reaches the limit, the software hasn't, so it doesn't remind the user to clean the compartment, leading to an excessively high number of capsules and the machine becoming unusable.

[0004] Therefore, based on years of experience and practice in related industries, the inventor proposes a waste capsule compartment structure and tea brewing machine to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a waste capsule compartment structure and a tea brewing machine. This utility model can not only reflect the actual accumulation of waste capsules in the waste capsule compartment and effectively remind users, but also detect whether the waste capsule compartment has been returned, thereby avoiding water leakage caused by the machine still working due to the missing waste capsule compartment.

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: a waste capsule storage structure, detachably installed inside a tea brewing machine, includes an inner basket structure for receiving waste capsules, a transparent window at the top of one side of the inner basket structure, and water filter holes on the inner basket structure; an outer basket structure is detachably fitted onto the outer side of the inner basket structure, with a gap between the inner wall of the outer basket structure and the outer wall of the inner basket structure; the outer basket structure receives residual water leaking from the water filter holes to separate the inner basket structure from the outer basket structure; an infrared sensor switch is installed on the outer side of the outer basket structure, corresponding to the transparent window, capable of emitting infrared light to detect the height of waste capsule accumulation inside the inner basket structure; a Hall effect proximity switch is also installed on the outer side of the outer basket structure to detect whether the outer basket structure has been returned to the tea brewing machine.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a first magnet is provided on one side of the outer frame structure, at a position opposite to the Hall proximity switch. When the first magnet approaches the Hall proximity switch, a voltage is generated in the Hall proximity switch, and the first magnet is identified to sense whether the waste capsule compartment structure has been returned to the tea brewing machine.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a stacking height warning line is provided on one side of the inner basket structure, and the stacking height warning line is level with or higher than the bottom of the transparent window; the infrared sensor switch determines whether the waste capsule storage structure is full by judging whether the stacking height of the waste capsules exceeds the stacking height warning line.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the infrared sensor switch includes a probe, which is supported on the switch housing, and the switch housing is fixedly disposed on the outside of the outer frame structure.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the distance between the top of the transparent window and the top of the inner basket structure is greater than or equal to the stacking height of at least one waste capsule.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the top of the inner basket structure is provided with an outwardly protruding flange, which can overlap the top of the side wall of the outer basket structure.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a notch is provided on the side wall of the outer frame structure at a position opposite to the transparent window, and the probe of the infrared sensor switch extends out through the notch and faces the transparent window.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom end of the outer basket structure is provided with a waste capsule compartment handle for pulling the outer basket structure and the inner basket structure out of the tea brewing machine.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a second magnet is provided on the side wall of the outer frame structure, and the second magnet is used for adsorption and positioning of the outer frame structure.

[0015] The purpose of this utility model can also be achieved as follows: a tea brewing machine includes a main unit, in which the aforementioned waste capsule compartment structure is detachably installed; an internal support is provided inside the main unit; the infrared sensor switch and the Hall proximity switch are connected to the internal support; a control and display unit is provided on the main unit, and both the infrared sensor switch and the Hall proximity switch are electrically connected to the control and display unit.

[0016] As described above, the waste capsule storage structure and tea brewing machine of this utility model have the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This invention uses infrared sensing technology to detect whether the height of the waste capsules has reached the warning height to remind the user that the waste capsule compartment is full; at the same time, it uses the Hall effect to detect whether the waste capsule compartment structure has been returned to the tea brewing machine, thus solving the problem of residual water leakage caused by starting brewing before the waste capsule compartment is returned.

[0018] The waste capsule compartment structure of this utility model is an essential part of a tea brewing machine. It is used to collect the waste capsules after brewing and the residual water that falls from the capsule compartment after brewing.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a waste capsule storage structure 100, which can be detachably installed inside a tea brewing machine 200. It includes an inner basket structure 1 for receiving waste capsules discarded from the capsule sealing chamber. A transparent window 11 is provided at the top of one side of the inner basket structure 1. A water filter hole 12 is provided on the inner basket structure 1 (generally provided at the bottom of the inner basket structure 1). An outer basket structure 2 is detachably fitted on the outside of the inner basket structure 1. The inner wall of the outer basket structure 2 is spaced apart from the outer wall of the inner basket structure 1. The inner basket structure 1 is fitted inside the outer basket structure 2 and can be freely taken out and put in.

[0044] The outer basket structure 2 receives residual water leaking from the filter hole to separate the inner basket structure 1 and the outer basket structure 2 into dry and wet parts. The residual water and tea soup collected by the inner basket structure 1 can leak into the outer basket structure 2 through the filter hole 12, thereby achieving the separation of waste capsules and residual water into dry and wet parts. An infrared sensor switch 3 that can emit infrared rays to detect the height of waste capsules piled up in the inner basket structure 1 is set on the outside of the outer basket structure 2 and corresponding to the transparent window 11. A Hall proximity switch 4 for detecting whether the outer basket structure 2 has been put back into the tea brewing machine is also set on the outside of the outer basket structure 2.

[0045] The infrared sensor switch 3 detects the height of the waste capsules stacked inside the inner basket structure 1 by emitting infrared rays. The principle of infrared sensing technology is that any object in nature, as long as its temperature is above absolute zero (-273℃), will continuously emit infrared radiation. When an object enters the sensing range, the infrared sensor detects the change in the object's infrared spectrum and automatically connects the load. The load remains connected as long as the object does not leave the sensing range; after the object leaves, the load automatically shuts off after a delay. The infrared sensor switch 3 is an automatic control switch based on infrared sensing technology, achieving its automatic control function by sensing the infrared heat emitted from the outside environment.

[0046] The Hall proximity switch 4 operates on the Hall effect. The Hall effect refers to the phenomenon where, when a solid conductor is placed in a magnetic field and a current flows through it, the charge carriers within the conductor are deflected to one side by the Lorentz force, thus generating a voltage (Hall voltage). A Hall element is a type of magnetically sensitive element. A switch made using a Hall element is called a Hall switch. When a magnetic object approaches the Hall switch, the Hall element on the switch's detection surface generates a Hall effect, causing a change in the internal circuit state of the switch. This allows the switch to detect the presence of a nearby magnetic object and control its operation. The object detected by this type of proximity switch must be a magnetic object.

[0047] This invention uses infrared sensing technology to detect whether the height of the waste capsules has reached the warning height to remind the user that the waste capsule compartment is full; at the same time, it uses the Hall effect to detect whether the waste capsule compartment structure 100 has been returned to the tea brewing machine, thus solving the problem of residual water leakage caused by starting brewing before the waste capsule compartment is returned.

[0048] The waste capsule compartment structure 100 of this utility model is an essential part of the tea brewing machine 200. It is used to collect the waste capsules after brewing and the residual water that falls from the capsule compartment after brewing. The inner basket structure 1 and the outer basket structure 2 connected together can achieve dry and wet separation. This utility model is effective, low in cost and easy to implement.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4As shown, a first magnet 21 is provided on one side of the outer basket structure 2, opposite to the Hall proximity switch 4. When the first magnet 21 approaches the Hall proximity switch 4, a voltage is generated in the Hall proximity switch 4, and the first magnet 21 is identified to sense whether the waste capsule compartment structure 100 (inner basket structure 1 and outer basket structure 2) has been put back into the tea brewing machine 200.

[0050] Furthermore, a stacking height warning line is set on one side of the inner basket structure 1, and the stacking height warning line is set at the same level as or higher than the bottom of the transparent window 11; the infrared sensor switch 3 determines whether the waste capsule storage structure 100 is full by judging whether the stacking height of the waste capsules exceeds the stacking height warning line.

[0051] The transparent window 11 is used by the infrared sensor switch 3 to emit infrared rays to detect the height of the waste capsules piled up inside the inner basket structure 1. It determines whether the inner basket structure 1 is full by judging whether the pile height exceeds the warning line. The height of the transparent window 11 on the inner basket structure 1 is the warning height for the waste capsule pile height. If the warning height is exceeded, the user is prompted to remove the waste capsule compartment structure 100 for cleaning; if it is not cleaned, the capsule brewing operation cannot be performed. The transparent window 11 is located at the top of the inner basket structure 1 along its length, and can detect whether the waste capsule pile height exceeds the warning line along the entire length, avoiding the missed detection caused by placing the transparent window 11 in the width direction, thus achieving accurate judgment.

[0052] When the waste capsule storage structure 100 is placed into the tea brewing machine 200, the infrared sensor switch 3 is activated. If the waste capsule stack height has not reached the stack height warning line, and there is no object within the sensing range of the infrared sensor switch 3, there will be no infrared radiation emitted by any object, and the infrared sensor switch 3 will not be activated. If the waste capsule stack height reaches the stack height warning line, the infrared sensor switch 3 detects the change in the infrared spectrum of the object and automatically activates the load. By checking whether the infrared sensor switch 3 is activated, it can be determined whether the waste capsule stack height has reached the warning height, and thus whether the waste capsule storage structure 100 is full.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the infrared sensor switch 3 includes a probe 31, which is supported on the switch housing 32. The switch housing 32 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the outer frame structure 2.

[0054] Furthermore, the distance between the top of the transparent window 11 and the top of the inner basket structure 1 is greater than or equal to the stacking height of at least one waste capsule. This avoids the situation where the height of the transparent window 11 from the top edge of the inner basket structure 1 is insufficient, causing the last waste capsule to fall beyond the top edge of the transparent window 11 before the alarm sounds (the stacking height of waste capsules exceeding the top edge of the inner basket structure 1 can easily cause the waste capsule to get stuck and unable to be extracted).

[0055] Furthermore, the top of the inner basket structure 1 is provided with an outwardly protruding flange 13, which can overlap the top of the side wall of the outer basket structure 2.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, a notch 24 is provided on the side wall of the outer frame structure 2 at a position opposite to the transparent window 11, and the probe of the infrared sensor switch 3 extends through the notch and faces the transparent window 11.

[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the bottom end of the outer basket structure 2 is provided with a waste capsule compartment handle 22 for pulling the outer basket structure 2 and the inner basket structure 1 out of the tea brewing machine.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a second magnet 23 is provided on the side wall of the outer frame structure 2, and the second magnet 23 is used for adsorption and positioning of the outer frame structure 2. In this embodiment, the mounting position of the second magnet 23 is a semi-open countersunk hole structure 25.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, this utility model provides a tea brewing machine 200, the basic components of which include a water tank 201, a main unit 5, and a tea tray 202. The main unit 5 is provided with a capsule compartment sliding cover 203. The aforementioned waste capsule compartment structure 100 is detachably installed inside the main unit 5. An internal support 6 is provided inside the main unit 5. An infrared sensor switch 3 and a Hall proximity switch 4 are connected to the internal support 6. A control and display unit 7 is provided on the main unit 5. The infrared sensor switch 3 and the Hall proximity switch 4 are both electrically connected to the control and display unit 7.

[0061] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, a main magnet 61 is installed on the internal support 6. When the waste capsule compartment structure 100 is placed back into the tea brewing machine 200, the second magnet 23 and the main magnet 61 on the internal support 6 (pre-embedded inside the machine) generate an attractive force, attracting the waste capsule compartment structure 100. This serves to attract and limit its position.

[0062] like Figure 4As shown, the waste capsule storage structure 100 is located below the capsule storage compartment 8 of the main unit 5. It has a waste capsule storage handle 22, which can be freely removed and placed from the outside of the main unit 5. When brewing, slide open the capsule storage compartment sliding cover on the main unit 5, put the capsule in through the capsule inlet, and close the sliding cover to brew. After brewing, the capsule storage compartment 8 is placed in the capsule storage compartment base 81 and the capsule storage compartment sealing cover 82 is pushed open by the main unit's electronic control mechanism (existing technology, located inside the main unit 5), and the brewed waste capsule 9 falls into the waste capsule storage structure 100 below for recycling.

[0063] When the entire waste capsule compartment structure 100 is pulled out from the main unit 5 through the waste capsule compartment handle position 22, the inner basket structure 1 can be taken out and the waste capsules 9 can be poured out. Then, the remaining tea water collected in the outer basket structure 2 can be poured into the waste water bucket.

[0064] Example 3

[0065] A method for detecting and controlling waste capsule storage involves using a Hall effect proximity switch 4 to detect whether the waste capsule storage structure 100 has been returned to the tea brewing machine. If the waste capsule storage structure 100 has not been returned, it is returned. If the waste capsule storage structure 100 has been returned, the tea brewing machine starts brewing, and the brewed waste capsules fall into the waste capsule storage structure 100. The height of the waste capsule accumulation is detected by an infrared sensor switch 3. When the height of the waste capsule accumulation reaches a warning height, the waste capsule storage structure 100 is removed and cleaned. After cleaning, the waste capsule storage structure 100 is returned to the tea brewing machine 200 to restart the next usage cycle.

[0066] The specific process includes:

[0067] Step S1: Manually place the capsule into the main unit 5 of the tea brewing machine 200 for brewing. Press the brewing button on the main unit (existing technology, belonging to the control and display unit 7). The main unit electronic board (existing technology, belonging to the control and display unit 7) determines whether the Hall proximity switch 4 generates voltage. If no voltage is generated, no first magnet approaches (that is, no waste capsule compartment structure 100 approaches), and it is determined that the waste capsule compartment structure 100 has not been returned. At this time, pressing the brewing button on the main unit has no effect, and the waste capsule compartment structure 100 needs to be manually returned.

[0068] Step S2: Manually return the waste capsule compartment structure 100. Due to the proximity of the first magnet 21, the Hall proximity switch 4 generates voltage and sends an electrical signal to the main electronic board. The main electronic board determines that the waste capsule compartment structure 100 has been returned. At this time, press the brewing button on the main unit to start normal brewing.

[0069] Step S3: After brewing, the main unit's electronic control structure pushes open the capsule chamber base 81 and capsule chamber sealing cover 82 to discard the waste capsules. The waste capsules 9 fall into the waste capsule chamber structure 100 located below the capsule chamber 8. At this time, if the infrared sensor switch 3 detects that the height of the waste capsules in the chamber has not reached the warning height (i.e., the waste capsule chamber is not full), put the capsules back into the tea brewing machine 200 and press the brewing button on the main unit to continue brewing. If the infrared sensor switch 3 detects that the height of the waste capsules in the chamber has reached the warning height, the control and display unit 7 of the tea brewing machine will display a prompt to clean the waste capsule chamber structure 100. At this time, pressing the brewing button on the main unit will have no effect.

[0070] Step S4: Manually remove the waste capsule storage structure 100 for cleaning. Remove the inner basket structure 1 and empty the dry waste—waste capsules 9. Pour the wet waste—residual water—into the wastewater bucket in the outer basket structure 2. Place the cleaned waste capsule storage structure 100 back into the tea brewing machine 200 (main unit). At this point, the program will again use the Hall effect proximity switch 4 to determine whether the waste capsule storage structure 100 has been returned to begin the next cycle. See the waste capsule storage control flowchart for details. Figure 7 .

[0071] As described above, the waste capsule storage structure and tea brewing machine of this utility model have the following beneficial effects:

[0072] This invention uses infrared sensing technology to detect whether the height of the waste capsules has reached the warning height to remind the user that the waste capsule compartment is full; at the same time, it uses the Hall effect to detect whether the waste capsule compartment structure has been returned to the tea brewing machine, thus solving the problem of residual water leakage caused by starting brewing before the waste capsule compartment is returned.

[0073] The waste capsule compartment structure of this utility model is an essential part of a tea brewing machine. It is used to collect the waste capsules after brewing and the residual water that falls from the capsule compartment after brewing. The inner and outer basket structures connected together can achieve dry and wet separation. This utility model is effective, low in cost and easy to implement.

[0074] The above description is merely an illustrative embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any equivalent changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principles of this utility model should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
