Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of coffee bean grinders, specifically a multi-functional coffee bean grinder. Background Technology

[0002] A coffee grinder, also known as a coffee grinder or crusher, is a machine used to grind coffee beans to the required fineness. It is an important tool for coffee before it is extracted.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Application No. 202021508789.9 discloses a coffee bean grinder, belonging to the field of grinder technology. This utility model provides a coffee bean grinder including a grinding cylinder, a grinding plug, a rotating handle, a first crossbar, a second crossbar, a powder receiving cup, and a grinding component. The grinding component includes a rotating shaft, a conical rotating grinding head, and an adjusting nut. The conical rotating grinding head is located at the bottom of the rotating shaft and is fixedly connected to it. The rotating shaft is located inside the grinding cylinder and passes through the first and second bearings. When the rotating shaft rotates, the conical rotating grinding head, in conjunction with the grinding plug, grinds coffee beans into coffee powder. The rotating handle is located at the top of the rotating shaft. This utility model allows control of the gap between the conical rotating grinding head and the grinding plug via the adjusting nut, thereby controlling the coarseness of the coffee powder. However, this utility model lacks additional multi-functional structures, resulting in limited functionality and an inability to simultaneously switch between manual and electric grinding, causing inconvenience in use.

[0004] Manual coffee grinders typically lack additional multi-functional features, resulting in limited functionality and an inability to seamlessly switch between manual and electric grinding, thus causing inconvenience.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to redesign and modify the multi-functional coffee bean grinder to effectively prevent inconvenience in its use. Utility Model Content

The bottom of the surface of the housing 8 extends into the interior of the grinding device 1 and is threadedly connected to it. A rhomboid extension block 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the transmission gear 5. The surface of the rhomboid extension block 9 is movably connected to the inner wall of the housing 8 through a bearing. The motor 7 can drive the locking block 4 to rotate through the transmission gear 5, thereby using the rhomboid connecting block 3 to link the grinding device 1 for grinding. A manual grinding mechanism is provided on the top of the housing 8.

[0024] refer to Figure 4 The manual grinding mechanism includes a slot 10 on the top of the rhomboid connecting block 3 and the rhomboid extension block 9. A connecting rod 11 is movably connected inside the slot 10 of the rhomboid connecting block 3. A top cover 12 is movably connected to the surface of the connecting rod 11 through a bearing. The bottom of the top cover 12 is fitted onto the top of the housing 8 and threadedly connected thereto. A handle 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 11. The handle 13 can drive the rhomboid extension block 9 to rotate through the connecting rod 11. A cleaning component is provided on the right side of the handle 13.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the operation process is simplified and the number of steps is reduced by setting a manual grinding mechanism. At the same time, an interface is reserved for the cleaning component, providing convenience for subsequent cleaning.

[0026] refer to Figure 5 The cleaning assembly includes a storage cylinder 14 fixedly connected to the right side of the handle 13. A connector 15 is threadedly connected to the top of the inner wall surface of the storage cylinder 14. The top of the connector 15 is magnetic and can attract each other to the inner wall of the locking block 4. A scrubbing rod 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connector 15. The bottom of the scrubbing rod 16 extends into the interior of the storage cylinder 14. The top of the connector 15 can be inserted into the interior of the locking block 4, thereby using the rotational kinetic energy of the motor 7 to scrub the interior of the grinding device 1 and the collection cylinder 2.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up a cleaning component, it can utilize the rotational kinetic energy of the motor 7 to effectively clean up grinding residues and improve cleaning efficiency. The storage cylinder 14 is designed to facilitate the storage of the brush rod 16.

[0028] refer to Figure 5 The top of the connector 15 is fitted with a rubber block 17, which has elasticity and anti-slip properties.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the adhesive block 17, the surface of the connector 15 is protected, preventing it from being excessively worn due to prolonged hand contact, thereby extending the equipment life and reducing safety risks.

[0030] refer to Figure 4 The surfaces of the shell 8, the grinding device 1, and the collecting cylinder 2 are all fixedly connected with anti-slip strips 18, and there are multiple anti-slip strips 18 that are evenly distributed.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the anti-slip strip 18, the friction of the equipment surface is increased, preventing accidental slippage, improving aesthetics and texture, and enhancing the user experience.

[0032] refer to Figure 4 The top of the top cover 12 is provided with an arc corner 19, which makes the edge of the top cover 12 smoother, thereby preventing it from scratching the user.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the arc angle 19, the edge of the top cover 12 is made smooth, which prevents scratches, improves the texture of the equipment, and facilitates cleaning and maintenance.

[0034] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: This device mainly includes a grinding device 1, a collecting cylinder 2, an electric grinding mechanism, and a manual grinding mechanism. The grinding device 1 is located at the core of the device, and a collecting cylinder 2 is installed at its bottom to collect the powder or particles generated during grinding. The electric grinding mechanism is connected to the top of the grinding device 1 via a diamond-shaped connecting block 3. A locking block 4 is fitted on the surface of the diamond-shaped connecting block 3, and a transmission gear 5 is fixed on the top of the locking block 4. This gear meshes with a drive gear 6, and a motor 7 is connected to the top of the drive gear 6. A housing 8 is fixed to the top of the motor 7, and the bottom of the housing 8 extends into the interior of the grinding device 1 and is threadedly connected to it to ensure stability. A diamond-shaped extension block 9 is also fixed to the top of the transmission gear 5. This extension block is movably connected to the inner wall of the housing 8 via a bearing to achieve smooth rotation. When the motor 7 starts, it drives the transmission gear 5 to rotate through the drive gear 6, which in turn drives the locking block 4 and the diamond-shaped connecting block 3 to rotate. The diamond-shaped connecting block 3 then links the grinding device 1 to perform the grinding work. The powder or particles generated during grinding fall into the collecting cylinder 2. In addition, a manual grinding mechanism is provided on the top of the housing 8. The connecting rod 11 and the diamond-shaped extension block 9 can be rotated by operating the handle 13 to achieve manual grinding. Alternatively, the automatic grinding mechanism can be unscrewed, and the manual grinding mechanism can be directly installed on the top of the grinding device 1 for use. After grinding, the top of the connecting piece 15 can be inserted into the locking block 4, and the washing rod 16 can be rotated by the motor 7, thereby extending the washing rod 16 into the collection cylinder 2 or the interior of the grinding device 1 for cleaning. This avoids the inconvenience caused by the limited functionality of existing manual grinders, giving it the advantage of ease of use.

[0035] In summary, when this utility model is used, under the action of the automatic grinding mechanism, the manual grinding mechanism and the cleaning component, the grinder can simultaneously have the functions of automatic and manual grinding. Furthermore, the cleaning component can facilitate the cleaning of the grinding device 1 and the collection cylinder 2, avoiding the inconvenience caused by the single function of the existing manual grinder, thus giving it the advantage of ease of use and solving the problem of its single function.
