[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a coffee machine switch assembly 100, which is used to control the opening and closing of coffee liquid dispensing. The coffee machine switch assembly 100 includes a container 10, a sealing element 20, a straw 30, and a driving element 40.

[0034] Container 10 is used to hold coffee liquid, and the shape of container 10 includes, but is not limited to, funnel-shaped, box-shaped, and basin-shaped. Container 10 is provided with a dispensing port 110, which is the outlet from which the coffee liquid is discharged from container 10. When the dispensing port 110 is not blocked, the coffee liquid in container 10 can be discharged from the dispensing port 110. When the dispensing port 110 is blocked, the coffee liquid in container 10 cannot be discharged from the dispensing port 110.

[0035] The seal 20 is movably disposed at the liquid outlet 110. The shape of the seal 20 is adapted to the liquid outlet 110. By changing the position of the seal 20, the liquid outlet 110 can be sealed or opened. The shape of the seal 20 includes, but is not limited to, spherical, block-shaped, sheet-shaped, and strip-shaped.

[0036] The drive element 40 is provided corresponding to the seal element 20. The drive element 40 is configured to drive the seal element 20 to change the position of the drive element 40, thereby enabling the sealing or opening of the liquid outlet 110.

[0037] The straw 30 is connected to the outlet 110, and the coffee liquid discharged from the outlet 110 is transported to a preset position via the straw 30. When the drive unit 40 drives the seal 20, the seal 20 opens the outlet 110, and the coffee liquid is discharged into the straw 30. After the air inside the straw 30 is expelled, a negative pressure is formed, which can generate suction on the coffee liquid in the container 10, accelerating the discharge speed of the coffee liquid and thus improving the extraction efficiency of the coffee liquid. The coffee machine switch assembly 100 provided in this application has the advantages of simple structure, easy operation, and high extraction efficiency.

[0038] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the seal 20 may be disposed between the container 10 and the straw 30 to constrain the travel of the seal 20 and prevent the seal 20 from being lost.

[0039] In some embodiments, the seal 20 may also be disposed inside the container 10. In this case, a limiting member may be provided to constrain the stroke of the seal 20 in order to prevent the seal 20 from being lost.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the coffee machine switch assembly 100 further includes a control element 50 connected to the drive element 40, allowing the control element 50 to transmit force or torque to the drive element 40, thereby driving the drive element 40 to move. The user can drive the drive element 40 by applying force to the control element 50 or changing its state. The drive element 40 then drives the sealing element 20 to open or seal the liquid outlet 110, thus controlling whether coffee liquid is discharged.

[0041] In some embodiments, the control member 50 is rotatably configured, and the discharge of coffee liquid can be controlled by rotating the control member 50. Specifically, when the control member 50 rotates, it drives the drive member 40 to rotate. When the drive member 40 rotates to a certain angle, the seal 20 separates from the outlet 110, and the coffee liquid in the container 10 can be discharged outwards. When the control member 50 is rotated further, the seal 20 presses tightly against the outlet 110, and the outlet 110 is blocked to prevent the coffee liquid from being discharged outwards.

[0042] In this application, the process of the seal 20 separating from the liquid outlet 110 and then tightly adhering to the liquid outlet 110 is called reset. The reset of the seal 20 includes, but is not limited to, the driving force of the control element 50, gravity, electromagnetic force, magnetic force, etc.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the control component 50 includes a connecting portion 510, a first control portion 520, and a second control portion 530. The connecting portion 510 is used to connect to the drive component 40. The first control portion 520 is connected to one side of the connecting portion 510, and the second control portion 530 is connected to the other side of the connecting portion 510. A preset angle exists between the first control portion 520 and the second control portion 530. Therefore, when one of the first control portion 520 and the second control portion 530 is in a horizontal or near-horizontal state, the other is in a tilted state, facilitating user operation of the coffee machine switch assembly 100.

[0044] Pressing the raised component in the first control unit 520 and the second control unit 530 causes the control member 50 to drive the drive member 40 to rotate. The drive member 40 then drives the seal 20, separating it from the outlet 110, allowing the coffee liquid in the container 10 to drain out. During this process, the previously raised components in the first control unit 520 and the second control unit 530 become horizontal, and vice versa. When the raised component in the first control unit 520 and the second control unit 530 is pressed again, the control member 50 drives the drive member 40 to rotate, which in turn drives the seal 20. The seal 20 then presses tightly against the outlet 110, blocking it and preventing the coffee liquid in the container 10 from draining out.

[0045] Further, please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the preset angle A between the second control unit 530 and the first control unit 520 is an acute angle, so as to press the raised part of the first control unit 520 and the second control unit 530, while allowing the drive member 40 to rotate at a suitable angle.

[0046] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the preset angle A between the second control unit 530 and the first control unit 520 is 30°, 35°, 40°, or 45°.

[0047] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the drive member 40 has a protrusion 410, which is provided corresponding to the seal member 20 so that the drive member 40 can contact the seal member 20 and thereby drive the seal member 20.

[0048] In summary, the coffee machine switch assembly 100 provided in this application includes a container 10, a seal 20, a straw 30, and a drive component 40. The container 10 is used to hold coffee liquid and has a liquid outlet 110. The seal 20 is movably disposed at the liquid outlet 110, and by changing the position of the seal 20, the liquid outlet 110 can be sealed or opened. The drive component 40 is disposed corresponding to the seal 20 and is configured to drive the seal 20 to change the position of the drive component 40, thereby sealing or opening the liquid outlet 110. The straw 30 is connected to the liquid outlet 110. When the drive component 40 drives the seal 20, the seal 20 opens the liquid outlet 110, and the coffee liquid is discharged into the straw 30. After the air in the straw 30 is expelled, a negative pressure is formed, which can generate suction on the coffee liquid in the container 10, which can accelerate the discharge speed of the coffee liquid and thus improve the extraction efficiency of the coffee liquid. The coffee machine switch assembly 100 provided in this application has the advantages of simple structure, easy operation and high extraction efficiency.
