Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of small household appliance technology, and in particular to a water dispensing funnel assembly that can be used in coffee machines. Background Technology

[0002] The water funnel is a common feature in many electrical appliances, such as coffee machines. The water funnel connects to the water pipe to dispense coffee, which is then served in cups or other containers. Existing coffee machine water funnel assemblies generally suffer from the following problems: To facilitate disassembly and cleaning, the water funnel is designed to be detachable, but this often leads to leaks; adding a sealing structure makes disassembly and cleaning difficult. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water outlet funnel assembly that can be used in coffee machines. This water outlet funnel assembly is easy to disassemble and assemble, and has excellent sealing performance when dispensing water.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows:

[0005] A water outlet funnel assembly for use in a coffee machine includes a funnel cover, a sealing ring, and a funnel. The outer bottom surface of the funnel cover has a downwardly extending water outlet, which has a water outlet hole. The sealing ring covers the upper end of the funnel, and the water outlet extends into the funnel from the upper port. The sealing ring has a connecting sleeve that fits onto the water outlet.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper end of the funnel has an outwardly turned upper edge, the sealing ring further includes a sealing ring body that is in contact with the upper surface of the upper edge, and an outer sleeve that wraps around the edge of the upper edge, and the connecting sleeve is integrally connected to the inner ring of the sealing ring body.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outer peripheral wall of the water outlet is provided with a limiting rib arranged circumferentially, and the inner peripheral wall of the connecting sleeve is provided with a sealing rib that is interference-fitted with the limiting rib.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the connecting sleeve is located inside the funnel, and a gap is left between the outer peripheral wall of the connecting sleeve and the inner peripheral wall of the funnel.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outer bottom surface of the funnel cover is provided with a concave cavity, and the water outlet is located in the concave cavity.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner bottom surface of the funnel cover is provided with sealing ribs arranged around the water outlet.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a connecting pipe is provided on the inner bottom surface of the funnel cover, which is arranged around the water outlet.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are: the funnel assembly can be quickly assembled, and after assembly, a seal is formed between the funnel cover and the funnel, preventing liquid from overflowing during water dispensing. When the funnel needs to be removed for cleaning, it can be easily removed by simply pulling the funnel and sealing ring downwards together. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly. Furthermore, descriptions involving "preferred," "second-preferred," etc., in this utility model are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "preferred" or "second-preferred" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment proposes a water outlet funnel assembly that can be used in a coffee machine, including a funnel cover 2, a sealing ring 3, and a funnel 4. The bottom outer surface of the funnel cover 2 is provided with a downwardly extending water outlet 21, and the water outlet 21 has a water outlet hole 22 inside. The sealing ring 3 covers the upper end of the funnel 4, and the water outlet 21 extends into the funnel 4 from the upper port. The sealing ring 3 has a connecting sleeve 31 that is fitted onto the water outlet 21.

[0021] The lower end of the funnel 4 has a water spout 41, which has a water leakage hole.

[0022] Preferably, the upper end of the funnel 4 has an outwardly turned upper edge 42, and the sealing ring 3 also includes a sealing ring body 32 that is in contact with the upper surface of the upper edge 42, and an outer sleeve 33 that wraps around the edge of the upper edge 42. The connecting sleeve 31 is integrally connected to the inner ring of the sealing ring body 32.

[0023] The assembly process of the funnel assembly is as follows: First, wrap the outer sleeve 33 of the sealing ring 3 around the edge of the upper edge 42, so that the sealing ring 3 tightly wraps around the upper end of the funnel 4. At this time, the sealing ring body 32 is in contact with the upper surface of the upper edge 42. Then, put the connecting sleeve 31 of the sealing ring 3 onto the water outlet 21 of the funnel cover 2. The two are interference-fitted to install the funnel 4 and the sealing ring 3 onto the funnel cover 2, thus completing the installation quickly and easily. It also forms a seal between the funnel cover 2 and the funnel 4, preventing liquid from overflowing when water is discharged. When it is necessary to remove the funnel 4 for cleaning, simply pull the funnel 4 and the sealing ring 3 downwards together, which is also easy to remove.

[0024] Furthermore, the outer peripheral wall of the water outlet 21 is provided with a limiting rib 23 arranged circumferentially, and the inner peripheral wall of the connecting sleeve 31 is provided with a sealing rib position 311 that is interference-fitted with the limiting rib 23. This design can further improve the sealing performance and also improve the anti-detachment performance.

[0025] Furthermore, the connecting sleeve 31 is located inside the funnel 4, and a gap 5 is left between the outer peripheral wall of the connecting sleeve 31 and the inner peripheral wall of the funnel 4. This design makes good use of the elasticity of the sealing ring 3.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bottom outer surface of the funnel cover 2 is provided with a concave cavity 25, and the water outlet 21 is located in the concave cavity 25.

[0027] In this embodiment, a sealing rib 26 arranged around the water outlet 22 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the funnel cover 2. (Refer to...) Figure 3 In this embodiment, when the device is connected to the water outlet pipe of an appliance such as a coffee machine, the sealing rib 26 abuts against the end face of the lower end of the water outlet pipe to improve the sealing performance.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] Figure 4Embodiment 2 of this utility model is shown. This embodiment has a similar structure to Embodiment 1, the only difference being that the structure on the funnel cover 2 for connecting to the water outlet pipe of the appliance is different from that in Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, a connecting pipe 27 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the funnel cover 2, surrounding the water outlet hole 22. The water outlet pipe of appliances such as coffee machines can be directly inserted into this connecting pipe 27 to connect the connecting pipe 27 and the water outlet pipe. If a seal is required, the dimensions of the connecting pipe 27 and the water outlet pipe can be controlled to make them fit together, or a sealing ring 3 can be provided between them.

[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
