Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee machine technology, specifically to a detachable and sealed bean container and grinder. Background Technology

[0002] A coffee bean hopper is a container inside a coffee machine used to store coffee beans. It contains a dispensing mechanism that controls the opening and closing of the hopper to ensure the freshness of the beans and to dispense a measured amount. However, existing coffee bean storage devices generally suffer from several problems that need to be addressed. First, most bean hoppers have a fixed, non-removable structure, making it inconvenient to add coffee beans, requiring them to be tilted from a height, which can easily cause the beans to scatter. Second, when the coffee machine needs maintenance or repair, because the bean hopper cannot be removed, repair personnel must first empty the entire hopper, increasing both repair time and labor costs. Furthermore, existing bean hoppers often lack effective sealing mechanisms during disassembly and assembly, easily leading to coffee bean leakage, wasting raw materials, and affecting the cleanliness and hygiene of the equipment.

[0003] The prior art CN205006666U discloses a bean hopper fixing device for a coffee machine, which discloses a snap-on bean hopper fixing structure and a bean hopper lid fixing structure. However, the bean hopper has poor moisture and dust prevention effect. After the coffee beans get damp and dusty, it not only affects the flavor of the coffee and causes waste of raw materials, but also easily breeds mold, making unhygienic coffee. At the same time, it will also contaminate the inside of the coffee machine, causing cleaning and hygiene problems of the coffee machine. In addition, the connection between the bean hopper and the coffee grinder is not effective in preventing moisture and dust, which can also easily make the coffee taste bad and the coffee consumed unhygienic.

[0034] The following specific examples will provide further details.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] See Figure 1 This is a specific embodiment of the present utility model, including a bean box 2, a bean box lid 1, and a grinder 3;

[0037] The bean box lid 1 is rectangular in shape. A bean box lid frame 15 is installed on the edge of the bean box lid 1. A sealing strip 5 is installed below the bean box lid frame 15. A round hole is provided on the bean box lid 1. The bean box lid lock 13 is a plastic lock core. The bean box lid lock insert 14 is a plastic lock hook.

The specific measurement process is as follows: one bean shortage sensor 7 emits a signal that can be blocked to the other sensor. The other sensor is responsible for receiving this signal. If the signal is received, it means that the bean container 2 is in a bean shortage state. If the signal is not received, it means that the signal is blocked by coffee beans and the bean container 2 is in a bean-free state.

[0042] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0043] like Figure 4The diagram shows a top view of the bean hopper 2 with its bean spit 22 closed. When installing the bean hopper 2, rotate the bean hopper rotating handle 11 located inside the bean hopper 2. The bean hopper rotating handle 11 causes the bean hopper rotating locking plate 9 to rotate around the screw that secures the locking plate to the bean hopper positioning hole. This causes the first protrusion 18 on the bean hopper rotating locking plate 9 to engage with the bean spit 22, thus closing the bean spit 22. Afterward, fill the bean hopper 2 with coffee beans and place the filled bean hopper 2 onto the bean hopper base 4 located below the top cover 16 of the coffee machine. Wait until it is stable. After setting, rotate the bean cassette handle 11 in the opposite direction. The bean cassette handle 11 drives the bean cassette locking plate 9 to rotate with the handle. After the first protrusion 18 on the bean cassette locking plate 9 is disengaged from the bean spit 22, continue to rotate so that the two sides of the bean cassette locking plate 9 are respectively engaged in the first locking buckle 20 and the second locking buckle 21 set in the bean cassette base 4, fixing the bean cassette 2 on the bean cassette base 4. At this time, the bean spit 22 is in the open state, and coffee beans can enter the grinder 3 through the bean spit 22. Finally, install the bean cassette cover 1 on the bean cassette 2 to complete the installation of the bean cassette 2.

[0044] It should be noted that the bean box rotating locking plate 9 is provided with a first protrusion 18 and a second protrusion 19. During the rotation of the bean box rotating locking plate 9, the first protrusion 18 can engage and disengage from the bean outlet 22. Its function is to provide tactile feedback to the operator when engaging and disengaging from the bean outlet 22. The operator can clearly perceive whether the first protrusion 18 is engaged or disengaged from the bean outlet 22. The second protrusion 19 is always engaged within the bean outlet 22 during the rotation of the bean box rotating locking plate 9. Its function is to prevent the rotation amplitude of the bean box rotating locking plate 9 from being too large during the rotation process, and to maintain the stable operation of the locking plate and handle structure.

[0045] It should be noted that a sealing strip 5 is installed below the bean container lid frame 15 to ensure the sealing of the connection between the bean container lid 1 and the bean container 2. A sealing ring 6 for the bean container and grinder is provided at the top of the grinder 3 to ensure the sealing of the connection between the bean container 2 and the grinder 3. This ensures that the bean container 2 maintains good sealing during use, providing good moisture and dust prevention and preventing the coffee bean raw materials from getting damp and dusty, which would affect the flavor of the beverage. In addition, a handle sealing ring 12 is provided on the bean container rotating handle 11 to ensure the sealing of the connection between the bean container positioning hole and the bean container rotating handle 11, further improving the sealing effect of the device.

[0046] It should be noted that, as Figure 3The diagram shown is a bottom view of the bean box 2 installed on the bean box base 4 with the bean spit 22 in the open state. The bean box base 4 is provided with a first locking buckle 20 and a second locking buckle 21. When the bean box 2 is installed on the bean box base 4 and the bean spit 22 is opened, rotating the bean box rotating handle 11 causes the bean box rotating locking plate 9 to rotate around the screw that fixes the locking plate at the bean box positioning hole as the rotation center. After the first protrusion 18 on the bean box rotating locking plate 9 is dislodged from the bean spit 22, it continues to rotate, so that the two ends of the bean box rotating locking plate 9 are respectively engaged in the first locking buckle 20 and the second locking buckle 21 of the bean box base 4, thus fixing the bean box 2 on the bean box base 4. At this time, the first protrusion 18 on the bean box rotating locking plate 9 is located outside the bean spit 22, and the second protrusion 19 is located inside the bean spit 22. The two ends of the bean box rotating locking plate 9 are respectively engaged in the first locking buckle 20 and the second locking buckle 21 of the bean box base.

[0047] When closing the bean hopper opening 22, rotate the bean hopper rotating handle 11 located inside the bean hopper 2. The bean hopper rotating handle 11 drives the bean hopper rotating locking plate 9 to rotate around the screw that fixes the locking plate at the bean hopper positioning hole. This causes the first protrusion 18 on the bean hopper rotating locking plate 9 to engage with the bean hopper opening 22, thus closing the bean hopper opening 22. At this time, the two ends of the bean hopper rotating locking plate 9 disengage from the first locking buckle 20 and the second locking buckle 21 of the bean hopper base 4, making it easy to remove the bean hopper 2 from the bean hopper base 4. The technical solution adopted by this device makes the disassembly of the bean hopper 2 more convenient, while ensuring the good sealing of the bean hopper 2. It solves the problems of inconvenience in adding coffee beans, inefficiency in disassembly before maintenance, and the problem of bean leakage during the disassembly of the bean hopper 2 in the prior art.
