Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee machine accessories technology, and in particular to a novel all-in-one coffee funnel. Background Technology
[0002] As the core tool for pour-over coffee, the coffee funnel's main function is to precisely extract coffee flavor by optimizing water flow distribution and filtration efficiency. Traditional designs are typically limited to holding only coffee grounds, making it difficult to adapt to the diverse brewing needs of capsule coffee and other brewing methods. This forces users to rely on multiple devices, increasing usage costs and operational complexity. To address this issue, new coffee funnels can improve compatibility through structural innovation. For example, the funnel's internal design can enhance its adaptability to different containers, preventing slippage. Such improvements not only accommodate the fixed needs of capsule coffee but also allow for the free switching between coffee grounds and capsules through modular design (such as replaceable capsule adapters). This reduces user equipment investment and maintenance costs, driving the development of pour-over coffee makers towards multifunctional integration.
[0003] The technical content disclosed in Chinese patent document (Publication No.: CN105105633B, Patent Title: An Automatic Coffee Powder Dispensing Funnel and a Coffee Machine Using the Same) is as follows: The automatic coffee powder dispensing funnel includes a funnel assembly, within which is a floating filter assembly. The filter assembly is elastically supported below by a filter holder that is height-adjustable and installed within the funnel assembly. Furthermore, the filter holder is height-adjustable and installed within the funnel assembly. This invention utilizes the floating filter assembly to eject the compacted coffee puck, easily removing the coffee puck from the funnel when the funnel assembly is flipped, achieving an automatic powder dispensing function. It is very convenient to use and provides significant cleaning results. In addition, this invention utilizes the protrusions within the funnel assembly and the locking grooves on the filter holder to adjust the volume of the brewing chamber, thereby producing different amounts of coffee, making it a multi-functional machine.
[0004] As can be seen from the above implementation plan and the corresponding drawings, the coffee funnel is only suitable for loading and brewing coffee powder. Therefore, the design still has limitations in application scenarios. Its functional optimization focuses on the adaptation of traditional coffee powder media and does not consider the compatibility of emerging forms such as capsule coffee. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0043] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0044] like Figures 1 to 12As shown, a novel all-in-one coffee funnel includes a funnel body 101, which is detachably equipped with several replaceable coffee powder carrier components 2 and a capsule adapter; the coffee powder carrier components 2 include at least two sizes of replaceable filter bowls to match the extraction needs of different types of coffee; thus, it can realize single-machine multi-mode extraction to meet the various needs of users.
[0045] The capsule body 101 has an inner retaining ring 1011 inside. The cross-section of the inner retaining ring 1011 has a stepped nested structure. The capsule adapter is vertically positioned through slots of different heights, so that the capsule adapter can be firmly installed inside the capsule body 101. The capsule adapter integrates a puncture structure to adapt to the penetration of the sealing film and fluid guidance, so as to facilitate the full mixing of water and coffee powder inside the capsule.
[0046] The inner cavity depth and diameter of the hopper 101 meet the space requirements for alternating installation of the coffee powder carrier 2 and the capsule adapter. A composite fluid buffer system is provided at its bottom, comprising a stepped guide plate 102 and a gasket 103. A central turbulence suppression chamber 1021 is located at the center of the guide plate 102, with a notch on its side. A liquid flow channel 1022 is arranged around the central turbulence suppression chamber 1021, with the central turbulence suppression chamber 1021 positioned higher than the liquid flow channel 1022. An outlet 1023 is located at the lowest point of the liquid flow channel 1022. Therefore, after water passes through the coffee powder carrier 2 or the capsule adapter to form coffee liquid, the composite fluid buffer system buffers the coffee liquid, reducing its flow rate and allowing it to flow slowly from the outlet 1023. This reduces foam when the coffee liquid reaches the coffee cup, making the coffee in the cup more stable and reducing splashing.
[0047] The top of the outer periphery of the funnel 101 is also provided with at least one outer clip 1012. The outer clip 1012 is used to lock the coffee funnel to the coffee machine when they are connected, so that the coffee funnel and the coffee machine can be firmly connected.
[0048] The bucket body 101 is provided with a tapered handle post 1013 on the outside, and the surface of the handle post 1013 is distributed with an array of protrusions 1014. The protrusions 1014 are used to match the quick-locking interface of the handle 104, so that the bucket body 101 and the handle 104 can be quickly engaged, and in the process of engagement, from the initial looseness to the increasing tightness, the two can finally be firmly connected.
[0049] In this embodiment, the capsule adapter includes a first capsule box 3, a second capsule box 4, and a third capsule box 5.
[0050] The first capsule box 3 includes a first box body 301, which is detachably connected to a first cover. The first cover includes a first upper cover 305, a first pad cover 304, and a first bottom cover 302. The first pad cover 304 and the first bottom cover 302 are both connected to a puncture mechanism. In the first capsule box 3, the puncture mechanism is a first water guide needle 303.
[0051] The outer periphery of the first pad cover 304 is provided with a first reverse hook pointing downwards towards the center, and the outer periphery of the first bottom cover 302 is provided with a first edge pointing upwards towards the circumference. The first edge is inserted into the first reverse hook. This allows the first bottom cover 302 and the first pad cover 304 to be fastened together and not easily separated. The first top cover 305 is also provided with a first needle position 3021, and the first water guide needle 303 is provided in the first needle position 3021. Because the first water guide needle 303 is locked between the first bottom cover 302 and the first pad cover 304, the first water guide needle 303 will not easily fall out, ensuring the safety of the equipment.
[0052] The inner diameter of the first needle position 3021 matches the outer diameter of the first water guide needle 303, thus ensuring that the first water guide needle 303 will not shake inside the first needle position 3021, and that the first water guide needle 303 can successfully puncture the capsule every time.
[0053] The bottom of the first box 301 is provided with a first liquid outlet 3011; the upper surface of the first cover 305 is provided with a first cover water tank 3051, and the first cover water tank 3051 is provided with a first water guide hole 3052. The first water guide hole 3052 and the first water guide needle 303 are on the same axis. When water passes through the coffee funnel, it first comes to the first cover water tank 3051. The pressure inside the coffee funnel causes the water to pass through the first water guide hole 3052 and through the first water guide needle 303 into the coffee capsule. The coffee liquid formed after extraction finally flows out from the first liquid outlet 3011.
[0054] The third capsule box 5 includes a second box body 501, which is hinged to a second cover. The second cover includes a second upper cover 505, a second bottom cover 502, and a second pad cover 503. The second upper cover 505 has external buckles 5053 on both sides, and the second box body 501 has external locking blocks 5014 on both sides. The external buckles 5053 and the external locking blocks 5014 are engaged. Therefore, when changing coffee capsules, it is only necessary to pry the external buckles 5053 outward to separate the second box body 501 from the second cover, thereby removing the coffee capsule. The external buckles 5053 and the external locking blocks 5014 make it convenient to put in and take out coffee capsules, and also lock the coffee capsules in place, ensuring the stability of the coffee capsule position.
[0055] Both the second bottom cover 502 and the second pad cover 503 are connected to the puncture mechanism. In the third capsule box 5, the puncture structure consists of a second water guide needle 504 and a second reverse hook that is downward and towards the center on the outer periphery of the second pad cover 503. The second bottom cover 502 has a second edge that is upward and circumferential on the outer periphery, and the second edge is inserted into the second reverse hook. This allows the second bottom cover 502 and the second pad cover 503 to be fastened together and not easily separated. Because the second water guide needle 504 is locked between the second bottom cover 502 and the second pad cover 503, the second water guide needle 504 will not easily fall out, thus ensuring the safety of the equipment.
[0056] The second box 501 has an inner convex texture 5011 inside, which causes the outer surface of the coffee capsule to be squeezed when it is put into the third capsule box 5, making the outer surface of the coffee capsule taut. Therefore, the second water guide needle 504 can puncture the coffee capsule more easily.
[0057] The upper surface of the second cover 505 is provided with a second cover water tank 5051, and a second water guide hole 5052 is provided in the second cover water tank 5051; the bottom of the second box body 501 is provided with a bottom needle 5012, and a number of second liquid outlet holes 5013 are provided around the bottom needle 5012. When water passes through the coffee funnel, it first comes to the second cover water tank 5051. The pressure inside the coffee funnel causes the water to pass through the second water guide hole 5052 and through the second water guide needle 504 into the coffee capsule. The coffee liquid formed after extraction finally flows out from the second liquid outlet hole 5013.
[0058] The multi-functional coffee funnel of this invention allows the coffee funnel to be used not only for extracting coffee powder but also for extracting coffee capsules, thus expanding the scope of use of the coffee machine and enhancing the user experience. Moreover, by purchasing one coffee machine, users can enjoy two coffee brewing modes, saving them the cost of purchasing a capsule coffee machine.
[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. However, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
