[0019] The technical scheme of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings.
[0020] It should be noted that all directionality indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the utility model are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement condition and the like between components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the drawings), if the specific posture changes, then the directionality indications also change accordingly.In addition, the description of "preferred", "suboptimal" and the like in the utility model is only used for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, the features with "preferred", "suboptimal" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.
[0021] REFERENCE Figures 1 to 5The utility model provides a coffee machine water receiving tray, including disc body 1, float 2 and apron 3, disc body 1 has the water tank 11 of opening upwards, apron 3 covers and sets up at the opening of water tank 11, apron 3 is provided with water hole 31 and float hole 32, the bottom surface of water tank 11 is provided with guide, float 2 can be installed in guide and float 2 is contained in water tank 11, when float 2 floats, its upper end extends from float hole 32.
[0022] Refer to Figure 3 When there is no water or only a small amount of water in water tank 11, float 2 is located on the inner bottom surface of water tank 11, when the water in water tank 11 exceeds a certain amount, float 2 starts to float up, when the water in water tank 11 is full, the upper end of float 2 extends from float hole 32, at this time, the upper end of float 2 is higher than the upper surface of apron 3, which can prompt the user to pour out the water in the water tank 11 of the water receiving tray in time, compared with the existing water fullness prompting device, the design is simple and practical, and the production cost is low.
[0023] In a preferred scheme of the utility model, the guide includes two vertical rods 41, and the float 2 has a vertical hole 21, and the vertical rods 41 are inserted into the vertical hole 21. Further, the vertical rods 41 are elastic rods, the upper end of the elastic rod has a buckle 411 located in the float 2, and the lower part of the float 2 has a limiting step 22 capable of limiting the buckle 411 from being separated from the float 2.
[0024] In some schemes of the utility model, the guide mentioned above can also adopt other structural forms, for example, the guide adopts a cylindrical shell, and the outer side wall of the shell has a water guide hole for connecting the inside of the shell with other areas of the water tank 11.
[0025] Refer to Figure 3 With Figure 5 The disc body 1 further includes a support edge 12 arranged around the water tank 11, and the lower edge of the support edge 12 is lower than the outer bottom surface of the water tank 11. The outer bottom surface of the water tank 11 is provided with a downwardly protruding insertion cylinder 13, and the lower edge of the insertion cylinder 13 is higher than the lower edge of the support edge 12. The support edge 12 serves to support the entire disc body 1, and the insertion cylinder 13 is square-shaped. When the water receiving tray is installed on the coffee machine body 100, the coffee machine body 100 has an insertion hole 150 capable of being engaged with the insertion cylinder 13, and the water receiving tray is positioned by the engagement of the insertion cylinder 13 and the insertion hole 150.
[0026] The mounting structure of the apron 3 can be the following two kinds.
[0027] First, the upper edge of the support edge 12 is integrally connected with the upper edge of the water tank 11, and the water tank 11 is provided with a placing step 101 at the opening, and the cover plate 3 is detachably installed at the placing step 101. In this structure, the cover plate 3 is not locked, but only supported on the placing step 101 by the gravity of the cover plate 3. This structure is easy to produce and install. However, this structure also has the following problems: when the user places the cover plate 3 on the disc body 1, it may not be completely supported on the placing step 101, and the side edge of the cover plate 3 may be located on the upper edge of the support edge 12, but at this time the user is not easy to find that the position of the cover plate 3 is deviated, at this time, the float hole 32 is not aligned with the float 2, and when the water tank 11 is full of water, the float 2 cannot extend out of the float hole 32.
[0028] Second, the upper edge of the support edge 12 is integrally connected with the upper edge of the water tank 11, and the cover plate 3 is supported on the upper edge of the water tank 11. The upper edge of the support edge 12 is provided with at least two positioning holes 102, and the edge of the cover plate 3 has at least two vertical positioning rods 301, each of which is inserted into a corresponding positioning hole 102. Preferably, the positioning rod 301 and the positioning hole 102 are both two, and the two positioning rods 301 are respectively located on the edges of the left and right sides of the cover plate 3. Compared with the first installation structure, this installation structure has the following advantages: due to the existence of the positioning rod 301, when the cover plate 3 is not placed in the correct position, the height of the cover plate 3 will be obviously higher than the upper edge of the water tank 11, so that the user can be guided to place the cover plate 3 in the correct position, so that each positioning rod 301 is inserted into a corresponding positioning hole 102, and the float hole 32 and the float 2 are kept in an aligned state.
[0029] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent range of the present application. Any equivalent structural transformation, direct or indirect application in other related technical fields based on the inventive concept of the present application and the contents of the present application are included in the patent protection range of the present application.
