[0001] This utility model relates to the field of control component technology, and in particular to a capsule feeding control component for a brewing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automated tea brewing, tea capsule brewing machines are gradually gaining popularity due to their convenience and standardized taste. Their core functions rely on precise control of capsule feeding, dispensing, and brewing. In existing technologies, tea capsule feeding control components mostly employ traditional mechanical transmission structures, using cams, connecting rods, and other components to achieve capsule conveying and positioning. Existing components largely use open-loop control modes, lacking real-time monitoring and feedback of the feeding and dispensing status, thus failing to meet the demands of intelligent and flexible modern tea production. Therefore, this utility model proposes a capsule feeding control component for a brewing machine. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems in the prior art where the feeding control components of existing tea capsule brewing machines mostly adopt traditional mechanical transmission structures and open-loop control modes, resulting in positioning deviations, poor compatibility, frequent jamming, and a lack of real-time monitoring and feedback. This invention proposes a capsule feeding control component for brewing machines.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A capsule feeding control component for a brewing machine includes a mounting frame, two sets of sliding grooves symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the mounting frame, a sliding cover slidably mounted on the mounting frame, two sets of bayonets symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the mounting frame, a sealing base disposed on one side of the bayonet, and a sealing top cover mounted on the inner wall of the mounting frame on the side of the bayonet away from the sealing base; and a driving mechanism mounted on the side of the mounting frame away from the sealing top cover, the driving mechanism being used to drive the sealing base to move.

[0005] Optionally, a spring is installed in the sealing base, and water-discharging needles are provided on both sides of the spring. One end of the sealing base is connected to a water outlet that communicates with multiple sets of water-discharging needles.

[0006] Optionally, a water inlet needle is installed on the side of the sealing top cover near the sealing base, and a water inlet nozzle communicating with the water inlet needle is connected to the side of the sealing top cover away from the sealing base.

[0007] Optionally, the drive mechanism includes a fixed frame mounted on the side of the mounting frame away from the sealing top cover. A servo motor is mounted in the fixed frame. A rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the end of the rotating rod away from the servo motor. A moving rod is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the rotating rod. The moving rod is fixedly connected to the sealing base.

[0008] Optionally, the mounting frame has two sets of symmetrically arranged limiting holes on both sides, and the moving rod is slidably connected between the two sets of limiting holes.

[0009] Optionally, a trigger rod is installed on the side of the sliding cover, and a first micro switch is installed on the side of the mounting frame below the trigger rod.

[0010] Optionally, the output end of the servo motor passes through the fixed frame and is fixedly connected to a dial. A second micro switch and a third micro switch are installed on the side of the fixed frame, with the second micro switch and the third micro switch located on both sides of the dial.

[0011] Optionally, a dot matrix recognition head is installed inside the mounting frame, and the dot matrix recognition head corresponds to the position of the slide groove.

[0012] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0013] This invention uses a dot matrix recognition head to automatically read the brewing parameters of tea capsules. Combined with a servo motor-driven linkage transmission mechanism and a micro-switch feedback system, it can precisely control the movement path of the sealed base and the sealing state of the brewing chamber, realizing automated monitoring and closed-loop control of the entire process of feeding, discharging, and brewing, thus avoiding the positioning deviation problem of traditional mechanical structures.

[0014] Furthermore, the combination design of the chute and the bayonet is adapted to accommodate tea capsules of different sizes. The sealed base has a built-in spring and a water-discharging needle. After brewing, the spring force and gravity work together to ensure that the tea capsules are quickly and without residue discharged into the waste bin, effectively solving the problem of material jamming and improving equipment compatibility and usage efficiency.

[0015] In summary, this invention can accurately position, adapt to and be compatible with, and monitor the feeding and discharging status in real time, effectively improving the intelligent and flexible production level and brewing efficiency of the tea capsule brewing machine.

[0034] Example

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention proposes a capsule feeding control component for a tea brewing machine, including a mounting frame 1 and two sets of sliding grooves 11 symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the mounting frame 1. The sliding grooves 11 facilitate the downward sliding of tea capsules. A dot matrix recognition head 9 is installed on the inner side of the mounting frame 1, and the position of the dot matrix recognition head 9 corresponds to that of the sliding groove 11, so that the tea capsules can be identified by the dot matrix recognition head 9 during the sliding process to obtain brewing parameters.

[0036] Furthermore, the aforementioned control component includes a sliding cover 2 that is slidably mounted on the mounting frame 1, the sliding cover 2 being used to achieve a seal above.

[0037] Furthermore, the aforementioned control components also include two sets of latches 3 symmetrically arranged inside the mounting frame 1. The latches 3 are used to position the tea capsules, which slide down from the groove 11 and are locked in the latches 3.

[0038] Specifically, the aforementioned control components include a sealing base 4 located on one side of the bayonet 3. A spring 41 is installed in the sealing base 4. The spring 41 facilitates the discharge of the tea capsule after the sealing base 4 moves away from the sealing top cover 5, preventing the tea capsule from remaining in the sealing base 4. Water-discharging needles 42 are provided on both sides of the spring 41 to penetrate the protective film at the bottom of the tea capsule, facilitating the discharge of tea. One end of the sealing base 4 is connected to a water outlet 43 that communicates with multiple sets of water-discharging needles 42, allowing the brewed tea to be output through the water outlet 43.

[0039] Furthermore, a sealing top cover 5 is installed on the inner wall of the mounting frame 1 on the side of the bayonet 3 away from the sealing base 4. A water inlet needle 51 is installed on the side of the sealing top cover 5 near the sealing base 4 to penetrate the protective film on the top of the tea capsule, allowing hot water to enter the tea capsule. A water inlet nozzle 52, which communicates with the water inlet needle 51, is connected to the side of the sealing top cover 5 away from the sealing base 4, facilitating the injection of hot water into the tea capsule through the water inlet nozzle 52.

[0040] For further details, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4The aforementioned control components also include a drive mechanism 6 installed on the side of the mounting frame 1 away from the sealing top cover 5. The drive mechanism 6 is used to move the sealing base 4. The drive mechanism 6 includes a fixed frame 61 installed on the side of the mounting frame 1 away from the sealing top cover 5, and the position of the fixed frame 61 is fixed. A servo motor 62 is installed in the fixed frame 61, and a rotating rod 63 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 62. After the servo motor 62 is started, it drives the rotating rod 63 to rotate. A connecting rod 64 is rotatably connected to the end of the rotating rod 63 away from the servo motor 62, and a moving rod 65 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod 64 away from the rotating rod 63. When the rotating rod 63 rotates, it drives the moving rod 65 to move through the connecting rod 64. The moving rod 65 is fixedly connected to the sealing base 4, and when the moving rod 65 moves, it drives the sealing base 4 to move synchronously. Two sets of limiting holes 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting frame 1. The moving rod 65 is slidably connected between the two sets of limiting holes 12, and the moving rod 65 moves smoothly under the limiting action of the limiting holes 12.

[0041] A trigger rod 7 is installed on the side of the sliding cover 2. A first micro switch 71 is installed on the side of the mounting frame 1 below the trigger rod 7. When the sliding cover 2 is closed, the spring of the first micro switch 71 is in a pressed state, and when the sliding cover 2 is opened, the spring of the first micro switch 71 is in a released state.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the output end of the servo motor 62 passes through the fixed frame 61 and is fixedly connected to a dial 8. A second micro switch 81 and a third micro switch 82 are mounted on the side of the fixed frame 61, located on either side of the dial 8. When the servo motor 62 drives the sealing base 4 to a position away from the sealing top cover 5, the dial 8 triggers the third micro switch 82. When the servo motor 62 drives the sealing base 4 to a position close to the sealing base 4, the dial 8 triggers the second micro switch 81.

[0043] In this embodiment, the sliding cover 2 is manually opened, at which point the spring of the first micro switch 71 changes from a pressed state to a released state. The tea capsule is placed into the dispensing port, and slides down the slide groove 11. During this descent, the brewing parameters are identified by the dot matrix recognition head 9, and the tea capsule stops between the two sets of latches 3. The sliding cover 2 is closed, at which point the spring of the first micro switch 71 changes from a released state to a pressed state. The servo motor 62 starts upon receiving a signal and, through the rotating rod 63 and connecting rod 64, drives the moving rod 65 to move under the limiting action of the limiting hole 12. Simultaneously, it drives the sealing base 4 to move towards the sealing top cover 5. When the sealing base 4 reaches the edge of the tea capsule, the servo motor 62 drives the sealing base 4 further towards the sealing top cover 5, pushing the tea capsule out between the two sets of latches 3 and then pressing it tightly against the inside of the sealing top cover 5, thereby sealing the tea capsule inside the brewing chamber. At the same time, the dial 8 rotates from the third micro switch 82 to the second micro switch 81. At this time, the dial 8 rotates to the second micro switch 81, triggering the second micro switch 81, indicating that the brewing chamber has been sealed and locked in place. After receiving the signal, the servo motor 62 stops rotating and starts brewing.

[0044] After brewing, the sliding cover 2 is opened, and the spring of the first micro switch 71 gradually loosens. At this time, the servo motor 62 receives a signal and rotates in reverse, driving the sealing base 4 to move away from the sealing top cover 5. The brewed tea capsule, no longer held in place by the sealing base 4, falls into the waste bin of the tea maker due to gravity. Simultaneously with the reverse rotation of the servo motor 62, the dial 8 also rotates synchronously, rotating in reverse from the second micro switch 81 to the third micro switch 82. When the dial 8 rotates in reverse until the third micro switch 82 is triggered, the servo motor 62 stops rotating, indicating that the sealing base 4 is fully open.

[0045] The above specific embodiments are merely optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
