Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee capsule converter technology, and specifically to a coffee capsule converter. Background Technology

[0002] Coffee capsules, typically sealed aluminum capsules encapsulated in foil, are pre-packaged coffee products designed specifically for capsule coffee machines to achieve standardized, high-quality coffee extraction in a convenient way.

[0003] With the trend of consumption upgrading and the popularization of mobile lifestyles, portable coffee brewing devices are integrating into modern life with an innovative approach. These lightweight design products break through the spatial limitations of traditional coffee preparation, providing a professional-grade coffee experience for business trips, outdoor adventures, and other scenarios. Their core structure adopts a modular design: the device has a built-in intelligent temperature control module and a micro-pump system. Users only need to place a pre-packaged coffee capsule into the dedicated chamber, start the program through the touch interface, and the device can automatically complete the entire brewing process—a high-pressure water pump injects precisely temperature-controlled hot water into the capsule at extraction pressure, and through a multi-stage permeation extraction process, fully releases the aromatic substances in the coffee powder. Finally, the finished coffee is guided to the cup through a flow channel design, completing the brewing process.

[0004] Most existing capsule coffee machines require a coffee capsule converter to load the coffee capsules into the converter before loading them into the machine. However, existing coffee capsule converters have poor convenience because the gap between the funnel and the capsule holder is small, making it difficult to open or remove the capsule holder with your fingers. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a coffee capsule converter.

[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A coffee capsule converter includes a funnel seat, a piercing head, a piercing filter plate, and a capsule holder hinged to the funnel seat. The top of the funnel seat has a holder positioning cavity for accommodating and positioning the capsule holder, and the bottom of the capsule holder has a capsule fixing cavity for fixing coffee capsules. The piercing filter plate is limited and connected to the bottom of the holder positioning cavity, and the piercing head is fixedly connected to the top of the capsule fixing cavity. The top of the capsule holder has a water injection hole, and the bottom of the funnel seat has a liquid outlet hole. The water injection hole, the capsule fixing cavity, the holder positioning cavity, and the liquid outlet hole are sequentially connected. The top side edge of the funnel seat has a concave arc groove that communicates with the holder positioning cavity. The concave arc groove is used for flipping and opening the capsule holder by lifting it with a finger.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom edge of the funnel seat and below the concave arc groove are recessed with a push-pull handle groove for fingers to push and pull the funnel seat.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the support positioning cavity is provided with a filter plate mounting groove, and the puncture filter plate is limited and accommodated in the filter plate mounting groove.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the support positioning cavity is recessed with a locking block positioning groove that communicates with the filter plate mounting groove, and the side wall of the piercing filter plate extends with a limiting locking block, which engages with the locking block positioning groove.

[0010] Preferably, the top surface of the puncture filter plate has a plurality of evenly spaced puncture protrusions, which are used to press and puncture the packaging foil of the coffee capsule; the puncture filter plate has a plurality of evenly spaced filter holes.

[0011] Preferably, the pore size of the filter pores gradually increases from the top surface of the puncture filter plate to the bottom surface of the puncture filter plate.

[0012] Preferably, the bayonet head is bent downwards and has at least two blade tips, which are used to pierce the side of the coffee capsule away from the packaging foil.

[0013] Preferably, the side wall of the capsule fixing cavity is recessed with a water filling channel that communicates with the water injection hole.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The coffee capsule converter of this utility model adopts a funnel seat, a piercing head, a piercing filter plate, and a capsule holder hinged to the funnel seat. The top of the funnel seat has a holder positioning cavity for accommodating and positioning the capsule holder, and the bottom of the capsule holder has a capsule fixing cavity for fixing the coffee capsule. The piercing filter plate is limited and connected to the bottom of the holder positioning cavity, and the piercing head is fixedly connected to the top of the capsule fixing cavity. The top of the capsule holder has a water injection hole, and the bottom of the funnel seat has a liquid outlet hole. The water injection hole and capsule fixing... The funnel seat, the container positioning cavity, and the liquid outlet are connected in sequence. The top edge of the funnel seat is recessed with a concave arc groove that communicates with the container positioning cavity, which makes it easier to flip the capsule container open with your fingers by using the concave arc groove, thus improving convenience. When in use, press the capsule shell of the coffee capsule into the capsule fixing cavity so that the piercing head pierces the capsule shell of the coffee capsule. Then flip the capsule container into the container positioning cavity and press the funnel seat and the capsule container together so that the piercing filter plate pierces the foil surface of the coffee capsule, making it more convenient to use. Then, install the coffee capsule converter into the capsule coffee machine for use. Attached Figure Description
