Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to coffee machine technical field, and specifically is a water route steering valve and coffee machine thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Among the existing coffee machines on the market, most of them use electromagnetic valves or similar valve bodies to control the internal water route pipeline of the machine, such as the utility model patent for a coffee machine water route system with the Chinese patent number CN201922301752.2, the utility model patent for a coffee machine water route system with the Chinese patent number CN202020998556.5, the utility model patent for a water route system for a coffee machine and a coffee machine with the Chinese patent number CN202122531498.2, the utility model patent for a coffee machine integrated water route integrated device with the Chinese patent number CN202222570529.X, the utility model patent for a water route system of a milk foam coffee machine with the Chinese patent number CN202320437927.6, the utility model patent for a water route system for a coffee machine with the Chinese patent number CN202321393792.4, and so on.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned existing coffee machines have complex overall structures and high production costs due to the use of electromagnetic valves or similar valve bodies. In addition, there are some special problems that need to be paid attention to when using electromagnetic valves or similar valve bodies to control the water route, i.e., a filter screen needs to be added to the water route pipeline to prevent impurities in the water from affecting the electromagnetic valve or similar valve body. However, in some areas where the water quality is too hard and the impurities are too many, even if there is a filter screen in the water route pipeline, it will still cause the electromagnetic valve or similar valve body to fail to work. When the electromagnetic valve or similar valve body fails to work, the entire water route system will not function, resulting in the loss of coffee machine functionality. This not only causes serious quality problems of the coffee machine, but also affects the user's experience.
