[0053] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the coffee grinder according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 1 and a hopper 2. The top of the main body 1 is provided with a mounting surface 11, and a guide platform 12 is provided on the mounting surface 11. The main body 1 is provided with a grinding hole 13, and a grinder is provided on the main body 1 corresponding to the grinding hole 13. The hopper 2 is provided with a receiving cavity 211 and a discharge port 221 communicating with the receiving cavity 211. The hopper 2 is slidably mounted on the main body 1 along the extending direction of the guide platform 12 so that the discharge port 221 corresponds to the communicating grinding hole 13.

[0054] According to the embodiment of this utility model, the coffee grinder has a hopper 2 mounted on the mounting surface 11 at the top of the main body 1. The hopper 2 can slide laterally along the mounting surface 11 to facilitate its installation and removal. The hopper 2 is guided by the guide plate 12, and is installed in place when the outlet 221 connects with the grinding hole 13. In this way, the hopper 2 can be installed and removed from the main body 1 by pulling and sliding the hopper 2, avoiding the inability to remove the hopper 2 separately due to the limited height of the coffee grinder's placement position, thus improving the ease of installation and removal of the hopper 2. Optionally, the extension direction of the guide plate 12 is horizontal, which can also be understood as the extension direction of the guide plate 12 being parallel to the mounting surface 11.

[0055] Understandably, the mounting surface 11 is a planar structure to stably support the hopper 2. When installed on the main body 1, the hopper 2 can be installed and removed by pulling it out horizontally, without occupying vertical space in the grinder; that is, obstacles above the grinder do not affect the installation and removal of the hopper 2. The guide table 12 guides the installation direction of the hopper 2 so that the discharge port 221 can be aligned with the grinding hole 13. Thus, the coffee beans stored in the hopper 2 can fall through the discharge port 221 into the grinding hole 13 to grind the coffee beans.

[0056] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a coffee grinder includes a feed baffle assembly, which includes a movable baffle, a reset member, and a switch structure. The movable baffle is movably connected to the feed hopper and is adapted to switch between an open state and a closed state. The reset member is connected to the movable baffle and is adapted to provide an elastic force for the movable baffle to switch from an open state to a closed state. The switch structure is connected to the movable baffle and is adapted to provide a driving force for the movable baffle to switch from a closed state to an open state. For example, the movable baffle can slide horizontally to cover or avoid the discharge port 221, thereby enabling the feed hopper 2 to switch between an open state and a closed state. The switch structure can be a drive cylinder, motor, or other drive structure to push the movable baffle to switch between the open and closed states. Meanwhile, the reset member can be a spring, sheet, or other structure that can spring the movable baffle back to the closed state.

[0057] According to one embodiment of this utility model, a coffee grinder includes a baffle assembly and a guide structure. The baffle assembly includes a movable baffle movably connected to the hopper, suitable for switching between an open and closed state. A portion of the movable baffle is made of an elastic material. The guide structure is located on a guide platform and is adapted to open the movable baffle. For example, the movable baffle can slide horizontally to either cover or avoid the discharge port 221, thus enabling the hopper 2 to switch between an open and closed state. The guide structure can be a guide ramp or the like, abutting against the movable baffle, causing the movable baffle to deform or displace along the ramp, thereby avoiding the discharge port 221. Simultaneously, the movable baffle portion is made of an elastic material, and when the guide structure is lost, the movable baffle can automatically reset to the closed state.

[0058] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a coffee grinder includes a feed baffle assembly, which includes a movable baffle, a reset member 33, and a guide structure. The movable baffle is movably connected to the feed hopper and is adapted to switch between an open state and a closed state. The reset member is connected to the movable baffle and is adapted to provide the movable baffle with an elastic force to switch from the open state to the closed state. The guide structure is provided on the guide platform and is adapted to open the movable baffle.

[0059] Please refer to the reference. Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 10According to one embodiment of the present invention, the guide platform 12 has a first guide slope 121 and a second guide slope 122 on opposite sides, and the first guide slope 121 and the second guide slope 122 gradually move away from each other in a first direction; the grinder also includes a material blocking assembly 3, the movable baffle includes a first baffle 31 and a second baffle 32, both of which are movably connected to the hopper 2, the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 are close to each other to block the discharge port 221, and the reset member 33 is connected to the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 respectively. When the hopper 2 is slidably mounted on the main body 1, the first baffle 31 abuts against the first guide slope 121, the second baffle 32 abuts against the second guide slope 122, and the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 move away from each other to open the discharge port 221, and the reset member 33 makes the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 tend to move closer to each other. Optionally, the first direction is horizontal, which can also be understood as the first direction being parallel to the mounting surface 11.

[0060] In this embodiment, to prevent coffee beans placed in the receiving cavity 211 from falling through the discharge port 221 when the hopper 2 is removed from the main body 1, a first baffle 31 and a second baffle 32 are provided to block the discharge port 221. Furthermore, to allow coffee beans in the hopper 2 to fall from the discharge port 221 into the grinding hole 13, the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 are movable within the hopper 2, allowing them to move away from each other to open the discharge port 221. For example, the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 are slidably connected to the hopper 2. When the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 are subjected to external pressure, they can move away from the discharge port 221, thereby opening the discharge port 221. Optionally, the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 can be connected to the hopper 2 by a rotating connection, a sliding connection, or other movable connection methods, as long as they can move relative to the hopper 2 to open the discharge port 221; no limitation is made here.

[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, exemplarily, when the hopper 2 is not installed on the main body 1, the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 move closer to each other under the action of the reset member 33 to block the outlet 221, preventing the coffee beans in the hopper 2 from falling out. Figure 5As shown, when the hopper 2 is slidably mounted on the main body 1, as the hopper 2 slides along the extension direction of the guide platform 12, the first baffle 31 gradually abuts against the first guide ramp 121, and at the same time, the second baffle 32 gradually abuts against the second guide ramp 122. That is, the guide platform 12 has a Y-shaped structure. The first guide ramp 121 and the second guide ramp 122 of the guide platform 12 open the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32, thereby opening the outlet 221 and allowing the coffee beans in the hopper 2 to fall out. Similarly, when the hopper 2 is removed from the main body 1, the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 gradually disengage from the abutment of the first guide ramp 121 and the second guide ramp. Under the action of the reset member 33, the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 move closer to each other, thereby sealing the outlet 221 and preventing the coffee beans in the hopper 2 from falling out, thus achieving the effect of preventing coffee beans from falling out when the hopper 2 is removed. In this way, when users remove the feed hopper 2, they do not need to worry about unused coffee beans falling out.

[0062] like Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the reset member 33 can be a tension spring, with its two ends connected to the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32, respectively, so that the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 approach and abut against each other under the tension of the tension spring. In other embodiments, the reset member 33 can also be two springs, one spring abutting against the side of the first baffle 31 away from the second baffle 32, and the other spring abutting against the side of the second baffle 32 away from the first baffle 31, and both springs abut against the hopper 2. In this way, the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 can also approach and abut against each other under the pushing force of the two springs. In yet another embodiment, when both the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 are rotatably connected to the hopper 2, the reset member 33 can also be two torsion springs, each torsion spring corresponding to a baffle, so that the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 rotate back to the position of blocking the discharge port 221 under the torsion of the torsion spring. The specific structure of the reset member 33 is not limited here, as long as it can make the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 tend to return to the position of blocking the discharge port 221.

[0063] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the hopper 2 includes a hopper body 21 and a base 22. The hopper body 21 is provided with a receiving cavity 211. The base 22 is connected to the hopper body 21 and is provided with a discharge port 221. The first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 are both movably connected to the base 22.

[0064] Understandably, the hopper 21 may have an opening at the bottom, and the base 22 may cover the opening, so that the contents of the receiving cavity 211 can be discharged through the discharge port 221 on the base 22. The base 22 may be used to install the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32. The first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 may be installed inside the receiving cavity 211 or outside the receiving cavity 211, which is not limited here.

[0065] In one embodiment, the hopper 2 further includes a hopper cover 23, which is detachably sealed to the hopper body 21. The hopper cover 23 can be used to open or close the upper opening of the receiving cavity 211 to facilitate the addition of coffee beans. Optionally, a sealing ring 24 is provided between the hopper body 21 and the hopper cover 23 to ensure the airtightness of the receiving cavity 211 and prevent the coffee beans from getting damp. For example, a folded edge is provided on the edge of the hopper cover 23, which is bent to form a limiting groove. Part of the sealing ring 24 is received and engaged in the limiting groove, and the opening of the limiting groove faces the inner wall of the receiving cavity 211. Part of the sealing ring 24 protrudes from the limiting groove to seal against the inner wall of the receiving cavity 211, thereby achieving a seal. Optionally, the sealing ring 24 can be a rubber ring, a silicone ring, etc., and is not limited here.

[0066] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the hopper body 21 is provided with a hopper opening 212 that connects to the receiving cavity 211. The hopper opening 212 is correspondingly provided with the discharge port 221. The first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 are sealed between the hopper opening 212 and the discharge port 221, or the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 open the hopper opening 212 to connect the hopper opening 212 and the discharge port 221.

[0067] Understandably, the size of the hopper opening 212 can be equal to the size of the outlet 221, and the hopper opening 212 and the outlet 221 are coaxially arranged to facilitate the concentrated discharge of coffee beans from the receiving cavity 211 from the hopper opening 212 to the outlet 221. In other words, the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 are sandwiched between the hopper body 21 and the base 22, facilitating the installation and fixation of the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32, improving installation stability, and preventing the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 from loosening and falling off due to movement. Simultaneously, the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 seal between the hopper opening 212 and the outlet 221, effectively sealing both the hopper opening 212 and the outlet 221 to better prevent coffee beans from falling out of the receiving cavity 211.

[0068] Please refer to the reference. Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9According to one embodiment of the present invention, a first baffle 31 and a second baffle 32 are installed on the side of the base 22 facing away from the main body 1. The base 22 has a first movable hole 222 and a second movable hole 223. The first movable hole 222 and the second movable hole 223 are respectively located on both sides of the discharge port 221. A portion of the first baffle 31 passes through the first movable hole 222, and a portion of the second baffle 32 passes through the second movable hole 223.

[0069] Understandably, the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 are installed on the side of the base 22 facing away from the main body 1, so that the base 22 can better support the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32, and the installation of the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 is more stable. Meanwhile, in order for the first guide slope 121 and the second guide slope 122 to abut against the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32, a first movable hole 222 and a second movable hole 223 are provided on the base 22. Specifically, a portion of the first baffle 31 passes through the first movable hole 222, so that the first guide slope 121 can abut against a portion of the first baffle 31, thereby pushing the first baffle 31 to move. A portion of the second baffle 32 passes through the second movable hole 223, so that the second guide slope 122 can abut against a portion of the second baffle 32, thereby pushing the second baffle 32 to move. It should be noted that the first movable hole 222 extends in a direction away from the discharge port 221, so that the first baffle 31 can move in a direction away from the discharge port 221. Furthermore, the second movable hole 223 extends in a direction away from the discharge port 221, so that the second baffle 32 moves in a direction away from the discharge port 221. In this way, the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 can move away from each other and away from the discharge port 221, thereby opening the discharge port 221.

[0070] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first baffle 31 is provided with a first extension 311, which passes through the first movable hole 222, and the second baffle 32 is provided with a second extension 321, which passes through the second movable hole 223. The first extension 311 and the second extension 321 are inclined in a first direction and gradually approach each other in the first direction.

[0071] Understandably, the first baffle 31 includes a first plate and a first extension 311, and the second baffle 32 includes a second plate and a second extension 321. Both the first plate and the second plate are semi-circular arc-shaped, and are joined together to form a disc shape, thereby sealing the discharge port 221. The first extension 311 can extend perpendicularly to the first plate, and the second extension 321 extends perpendicularly to the second plate, so that the first extension 311 can pass through the first movable hole 222 and abut against the first guide slope 121, and the second extension 321 can pass through the second movable hole 223 and abut against the second guide slope 122.

[0072] For example, the first extension 311 and the second extension 321 are arranged in a V-shape, that is, the first extension 311 and the second extension 321 have a flared structure in the direction of installation on the guide platform 12, so that the first guide slope 121 adapts to abut against the first extension 311, and the second guide slope 122 adapts to abut against the second extension 321. Optionally, the inclined surface of the first extension 311 is parallel to the first guide slope 121, and the inclined surface of the second extension 321 is parallel to the second guide slope 122. In this way, the contact area between the first extension 311 and the first guide slope 121, and the contact area between the second extension 321 and the second guide slope 122 can be increased, reducing the pressure on both during compression, thereby reducing the degree of wear between them and extending their service life.

[0073] like Figure 10 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the reset member 33 is a tension spring, one end of which is connected to the first baffle 31 and the other end is connected to the second baffle 32.

[0074] For example, a first hook is provided on one side surface of the first baffle 31, and a second hook is provided on one side surface of the second baffle 32 at a corresponding position. One end of the tension spring can be hooked to the first hook, and the other end can be hooked to the second hook, which is convenient for installation.

[0075] According to one embodiment of this utility model, the reset member 33 includes at least two tension springs, which are spaced apart. The two tension springs can be symmetrically arranged at both ends of the first baffle 31, connecting the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32. This ensures uniform force distribution at both ends of the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32, effectively improving the reset effect of the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32. Gaps are less likely to form between the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32, resulting in better sealing of the outlet 221. In other embodiments, multiple tension springs can be used to connect the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 to improve the reset effect. It should be noted that when the tension springs connect the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32, they should avoid the area of ​​the outlet 221, meaning the projection of the tension spring on the base plate should not coincide with the outlet 221, to prevent the tension springs from affecting the coffee beans falling from the outlet 221. For example, when two tension springs are installed, the two tension springs are located on both sides of the discharge port 221, which avoids the tension springs from extending and retracting through the central area formed by the splicing of the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32.

[0076] like Figure 9 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the base 22 is provided with a guide rail 224, and the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 are guided to move along the extension direction of the guide rail 224 so as to move closer to or further away from each other.

[0077] Understandably, the guide rail 224 is used to guide the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 to move only in directions that are close to or far from each other, so as to avoid the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 being misaligned and unable to fit together, thereby avoiding the situation where the discharge port 221 cannot be completely blocked. Optionally, the extension direction of the guide rail 224 is perpendicular to the first direction, so that the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 move perpendicular to the first direction. In one embodiment, there are two guide rails 224, which are spaced apart on the base 22. One end of the first baffle 31 is supported on one guide rail and the other end is supported on the other guide rail, and one end of the second baffle 32 is supported on one guide rail and the other end is supported on the other guide rail. The two guide rails are symmetrically arranged to ensure that the two ends of the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 are evenly stressed and move more smoothly.

[0078] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the base 22 is provided with a surrounding plate 225, which surrounds the discharge port 221, and the guide rail 224 is provided within the surrounding plate 225.

[0079] Understandably, the enclosure 225 confines the guide rail 224 within its circle, while the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 move along the guide rail 224. Thus, the enclosure 225 restricts the movement of the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 on the guide rail 224, preventing them from detaching. Simultaneously, the enclosure 225 can be set at a certain height to stop the outer edges of the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32, thereby preventing them from derailing. Optionally, the enclosure 225 can have a clearance notch to allow the first extension 311 of the first baffle 31 and the second extension 321 of the second baffle 32 to move, simply confining the portions of the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 that are supported by the guide rail 224 within the circle of the enclosure 225.

[0080] Please refer to the reference. Figure 1 and Figure 6 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the hopper 2 is provided with an assembly groove 25 and an assembly notch 26 communicating with the assembly groove 25 on the side facing the main body 1. The inner wall of the assembly groove 25 is provided with one of the slide rail 14 and the slide groove 261. The main body 1 is provided with the other of the slide rail 14 and the slide groove 261. The slide rail 14 and the slide groove 261 are connected in cooperation. The guide table 12 is accommodated in the assembly groove 25 through the assembly notch 26.

[0081] Understandably, the assembly groove 25 is used to accommodate the guide plate 12, and the assembly groove 25 can accommodate the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32. For example, the first extension 311 of the first baffle 31 is inserted into the assembly groove 25, and the second extension 321 of the second baffle 32 is inserted into the assembly groove 25. When the guide plate 12 is inserted into the assembly groove 25 through the assembly notch 26, the first guide slope 121 of the guide plate 12 abuts against the first extension 311 of the first baffle 31, and the second guide slope 122 abuts against the second extension 321 of the second baffle 32.

[0082] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the assembly groove 25 has two opposing side walls, each side wall is provided with a slide groove 261, and the main body 1 is provided with two spaced slide rails 14, each slide rail 14 corresponding to a slide groove 261.

[0083] For example, the assembly groove 25 has a first sidewall and a second sidewall that are parallel to each other. Both the first sidewall and the second sidewall are recessed to form a sliding groove 261. Correspondingly, the main body 1 is provided with a slide rail 14 on both sides of the guide table 12. In this way, when the hopper 2 is installed on the main body 1 along the first direction, a sliding groove 261 can slide and engage with a slide rail 14 to achieve a snap-fit ​​fixation, so that the hopper 2 can only slide along the extension direction of the slide rail 14, thereby limiting the displacement of the hopper 2 in other directions and preventing the hopper 2 from falling off the main body 1.

[0084] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the main body 1 is provided with a locking member 15, which includes a latch 151 and a switch 152 connected to each other. The hopper 2 is provided with a locking groove 226. When the hopper 2 is installed on the main body 1, the latch 151 is engaged in the locking groove 226, and the switch 152 is used to control the latch 151 to exit the locking groove 226.

[0085] To ensure the stability of the connection between the hopper 2 and the main body 1, a latch 151 is provided to engage with the locking groove 226 of the hopper 2. Specifically, the latch 151 is movably disposed on the mounting surface 11. The latch 151 can protrude from the mounting surface 11 or retract into the main body 1 to facilitate the installation of the hopper 2. For example, when the hopper 2 moves along the mounting surface 11, the surface of the hopper 2 can press and push the latch 151 back into the main body 1. When the hopper 2 is installed in place, i.e., when the discharge port 221 corresponds to the grinding hole 13, the locking groove 226 is set with the latch 151, and the latch 151 can protrude from the mounting surface 11 to engage with the locking groove 226, thereby fixing the connection between the hopper 2 and the main body 1. To facilitate the disassembly of the hopper 2, a switch 152 is connected to the latch 151. Pressing the switch 152 will allow the latch 151 to move relative to the main body 1, thereby causing the latch 151 to exit the locking groove 226 and unlocking the hopper 2 from the main body 1.

[0086] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various combinations, modifications, or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions of the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention and should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
