Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a coffee machine. Background Technology
[0002] A coffee machine is a household appliance that automatically brews coffee. During the brewing process, controlling the liquid pressure is crucial to the taste and quality of the coffee. However, in existing coffee machines, the extraction water pressure is fixed, making it difficult to customize the extraction pressure according to the flavor of different coffee beans. This results in inconsistent taste and quality, failing to meet the diverse taste preferences of different users. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a coffee machine that addresses the problem of coffee machines being unable to customize the extraction pressure according to the flavor of different coffee beans, thus affecting the taste of the coffee.
[0004] A coffee machine includes: a preparation unit comprising a heating device and a brewing head, the heating device having a heating chamber, the water outlet of the heating chamber being connected to the brewing head; a water supply unit comprising an external water source, a water tank, and a first water pump, the input end of the first water pump being selectively connected to the water tank or the external water source via a pipeline, the first water pump being used to supply water to the heating chamber; and a pressure regulating assembly comprising a connector and a pressure regulating valve, the connector having a flow passage, the output end of the first water pump being connected to the water inlet of the heating chamber via the flow passage, the pressure regulating valve having a pressure relief water path, the inlet end of the pressure relief water path being connected to the flow passage, and the outlet end of the pressure relief water path being connected to the water tank.
[0005] This application provides a coffee machine in which a pressure regulating component is installed on the water circuit connecting the first water pump and the heating device to achieve real-time adjustment of the water pressure output from the heating device, enabling the coffee machine to better adapt to the extraction and preparation requirements of different beverages. It also features two water supply modes: a water tank and an external water source. Users can easily switch between these modes depending on the situation. Using an external water source allows for automatic water refilling and, during cleaning and maintenance, the external water pressure can be used to rinse and clean the internal water circuit. The water tank allows users to store water, better meeting the needs of emergency scenarios such as water outages or outdoor activities. Furthermore, the water released by the pressure regulating component can be recycled back into the water tank, reducing water waste and increasing the coffee machine's output.
[0006] In one embodiment, the pressure regulating valve includes a valve seat, a valve plug, an elastic element, and an adjusting element. The valve seat has an inlet, a pressure relief chamber, and a pressure relief outlet. The inlet, the pressure relief chamber, and the pressure relief outlet are sequentially connected to form the pressure relief water path. The inlet is connected to the flow channel, and the pressure relief outlet is connected to the water tank. The valve plug is movably disposed in the pressure relief chamber and is configured to extend and retract relative to the inlet to open or close the inlet. The adjusting element is movably disposed on the valve seat, with one end extending into the pressure relief chamber and connected to the side of the valve plug away from the inlet via the elastic element. The adjusting element can extend and retract relative to the inlet to adjust the deformation state of the elastic element. By adopting the above structure, when the inlet pressure of the flow channel is too high, the liquid in the flow channel can smoothly enter the pressure relief chamber and be discharged through the pressure relief outlet by pushing the valve plug at the inlet of the valve seat, thereby reducing pressure. Furthermore, the end of the valve plug furthest from the inlet is connected to the adjusting element via an elastic element. By changing the position of the adjusting element on the valve seat, the compression of the elastic element can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the spring pressure. This changes the resistance that the liquid needs to overcome from the valve plug when passing through the inlet, thus achieving real-time adjustment of the water pressure from the heating device. This allows the coffee machine to better adapt to the extraction and preparation requirements of different beverages.
[0007] In one embodiment, the valve seat has a working port communicating with the pressure relief chamber. The working port is positioned opposite to the liquid inlet. One end of the adjusting member extends into the pressure relief chamber through the working port. The inner peripheral wall of the working port has an internal thread, and the outer peripheral wall of the adjusting member has an external thread. The internal thread and the external thread are adapted to each other, allowing the adjusting member to rotate relative to the working port to adjust its position. By providing adapted external and internal threads on the adjusting member and the inner wall of the working port, respectively, the adjusting member and the valve seat can be tightly connected, reducing the possibility of pressure regulation failure due to loosening or detachment. Moreover, the cooperation of the internal and external threads makes the position movement of the adjusting member more precise and controllable, achieving accurate adjustment of the pressure regulating assembly and improving the pressure regulation accuracy of the assembly.
[0008] In one embodiment, the valve seat includes a seat body and a valve cover, the valve cover being detachably mounted on the seat body. The valve cover and the seat body together form the pressure relief chamber, and the valve cover has the working port. By providing a detachable seat body and valve cover, the installation and disassembly of the valve plug, adjusting element, and elastic element can be greatly facilitated, thereby improving installation efficiency.
[0009] In one embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the adjusting member forms a limiting portion, and the top wall of the limiting portion is disposed opposite to the side wall of the valve cover facing the liquid inlet. By adopting the above structure, when the adjusting member rotates upward away from the liquid inlet, the limiting portion can form a limiting engagement with the valve cover, avoiding excessive operation of the adjusting member that could cause loosening or lead to leakage.
[0010] In one embodiment, the base body has a mounting cavity, the bottom of which has a liquid inlet. An annular step is formed on the inner wall of the mounting cavity away from the liquid inlet, and this annular step is positioned opposite to the side of the adjusting member facing the liquid inlet. By employing this structure, when the adjusting member rotates downwards towards the liquid inlet, it can form a limiting engagement with the annular step, preventing excessive operation of the adjusting member and potential loosening.
[0011] In one embodiment, the pressure regulating valve further includes a sealing ring. The sidewall of the adjusting element or the pressure relief chamber has an annular groove, and the sealing ring is fitted into the annular groove to seal the gap between the adjusting element and the inner sidewall of the pressure relief chamber. By providing the sealing ring, liquid leakage from the connection gap between the adjusting element and the pressure relief chamber is effectively prevented when the adjusting element moves, thereby ensuring the sealing performance and stability of the pressure regulating valve.
[0012] In one embodiment, the adjusting member and / or the valve plug are provided with a limiting groove, and the elastic member is adapted to be disposed in the limiting groove. The limiting groove provides a limiting effect for the installation of the elastic member, thereby reducing the possibility of loosening, displacement or breakage caused by compression of the elastic member.
[0013] In one embodiment, the adjusting member and / or the valve plug are formed with a positioning post, and the elastic member is sleeved on the outside of the positioning post. By adopting the above structure, the elastic member sleeved on the outside of the positioning post can form a limiting effect, thereby reducing the possibility of loosening, displacement or breakage caused by compression of the elastic member, thus improving the accuracy of the pressure regulation process and ensuring the stability and reliability of the pressure regulating assembly.
[0014] In one embodiment, the valve plug has a spherical shape on the side near the inlet. This spherical shape helps reduce resistance to liquid flow, accelerates the response of the elastic element, and allows the pressure regulating assembly to respond more quickly to changes in external pressure, thus improving pressure regulation efficiency.
[0015] In one embodiment, the water supply unit further includes a first three-way control valve. One inlet of the first three-way control valve is connected to an external water source, the other inlet is connected to the water tank, and the outlet is connected to the inlet of the first water pump. By setting a three-way control valve to connect the external water source, the water tank, and the first water pump, the pipeline layout can be simplified, and the user can easily operate the three-way control valve to switch the water inlet mode.
[0016] In one embodiment, the preparation unit further includes a steam device, and the water supply unit further includes a second water pump. The inlet of the second water pump is connected to the outlet of the first three-way control valve, and the outlet of the second water pump is connected to the steam device. The second water pump is used to supply water to the steam device. By adopting the above structure, the input of the second water pump can be selectively connected to a water tank or an external water source through a pipeline, and the user can switch the water supply mode to supply water to the steam device according to different situations.
[0017] In one embodiment, a controller is further included, which is electrically connected to the preparation unit, the water supply unit, and the first three-way control valve. By using the controller to switch the operating state of the first three-way control valve, the water supply source can be easily switched without manual operation, realizing two states: supplying water for coffee preparation or supplying water for cleaning the drain pipe, thus achieving real-time and efficient cleaning of the drain pipe.
[0018] In one embodiment, the system further includes a water tray and a second three-way control valve. The inlet of the second three-way control valve is connected to the outlet of the pressure relief water circuit, one outlet of the second three-way control valve is connected to the water tank, and the other outlet of the second three-way control valve is connected to the water tray. By setting a second three-way control valve at the outlet of the pressure relief water circuit to control the flow direction of the water released by the pressure regulating component, when the water tank is disassembled for cleaning, the coffee machine will use an external water source, and the water released by the pressure regulating component can flow to the water tray and be discharged to the outside. When the water tank is in normal use, the second three-way control valve can be controlled to guide the released water back into the water tank for recycling.
[0019] In one embodiment, the outlet of the pressure relief water path is connected to the water tank via a heat-conducting pipe, which is spirally coiled around the outer surface of the heating chamber. By employing this structure, as the water released by the pressure regulating component flows to the water tank through the heat-conducting pipe, it can simultaneously absorb heat from the outer surface of the heating chamber. This preheats the water stored in the tank to a certain extent, ensuring that the heat generated by the heating device is fully utilized.
[0020] In one embodiment, the controller is electrically connected to the second three-way control valve.
[0021] In one embodiment, a pressure gauge is also included, which is disposed at the water outlet of the heating chamber. The pressure gauge is used to detect the pressure value of the water flowing into the brewing head. The real-time pressure feedback from the pressure gauge allows the user to easily operate the adjustment mechanism, thereby achieving precise pressure adjustment. Attached Figure Description

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0040] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0041] The coffee machine of some embodiments of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment discloses a coffee machine, including: a preparation unit, which includes a heating device 1 and a brewing head 2, the heating device 1 having a heating chamber, the water outlet of the heating chamber being connected to the brewing head 2; a water supply unit, which includes an external water source 3, a water tank 4, and a first water pump 5, the input end of the first water pump 5 being selectively connected to the water tank 4 or the external water source 3 via a pipeline, the first water pump 5 being used to supply water to the heating chamber; and a pressure regulating assembly, which includes a connector 6 and a pressure regulating valve 7, the connector 6 having a flow passage, the output end of the first water pump 5 being connected to the water inlet of the heating chamber via the flow passage, the pressure regulating valve 7 having a pressure relief water passage 701, the water inlet of the pressure relief water passage 701 being connected to the flow passage, and the water outlet of the pressure relief water passage 701 being connected to the water tank 4.
[0043] This application provides a coffee machine in which a pressure regulating component is provided on the water circuit connecting the first water pump 5 and the heating device 1 to achieve real-time adjustment of the water pressure output from the heating device 1, enabling the coffee machine to better adapt to the extraction and preparation requirements of different beverages. It also features two water supply modes: a water tank 4 and an external water source 3, allowing users to switch flexibly according to different situations. Using the external water source 3 facilitates automatic water filling and allows for direct rinsing and cleaning of the internal water circuits during cleaning and maintenance. The water tank 4 allows users to store water, better meeting the needs of emergency scenarios such as water outages and outdoor activities. Furthermore, the water released by the pressure regulating component can flow back into the water tank 4 for recycling, thereby reducing water waste and increasing the coffee machine's output.
[0044] like Figure 2As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the pressure regulating valve 7 includes a valve seat 71, a valve plug 72, an elastic element 73, and an adjusting element 74. The valve seat 71 is provided with an inlet 7011, a pressure relief chamber 7012, and a pressure relief port 7013. The inlet 7011, the pressure relief chamber 7012, and the pressure relief port 7013 are sequentially connected to form a pressure relief water passage 701. The inlet 7011 is connected to the flow channel, and the pressure relief port 7013 is connected to the water tank 4. The valve plug... Valve plug 72 is movably disposed in pressure relief chamber 7012. Valve plug 72 is configured to extend and retract relative to inlet port 7011 to open or close inlet port 7011. Adjusting member 74 is movably disposed on valve seat 71. One end of adjusting member 74 extends into pressure relief chamber 7012 and is connected to the side of valve plug 72 away from inlet port 7011 via elastic member 73. Adjusting member 74 can extend and retract relative to inlet port 7011 to adjust the deformation state of elastic member 73. With the above structure, when the inlet water pressure of the flow channel is too high, the liquid in the flow channel can smoothly enter pressure relief chamber 7012 and be discharged through pressure relief port 7013 by pushing valve plug 72 at inlet port 7011 of valve seat 71, thereby reducing pressure. Furthermore, the end of the valve plug 72 away from the liquid inlet 7011 is connected to the adjusting member 74 via the elastic member 73. Thus, by changing the position of the adjusting member 74 on the valve seat 71, the compression of the elastic member 73 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the spring pressure. This changes the resistance that the liquid needs to overcome from the valve plug 72 when passing through the liquid inlet 7011, thereby achieving the effect of real-time adjustment of the water pressure of the heating device 1, enabling the coffee machine to better adapt to the extraction and preparation requirements of different beverages.

By providing adapted external and internal threads on the adjusting member 74 and the inner wall of the working port respectively, the adjusting member 74 and the valve seat 71 can be tightly connected, reducing the possibility of pressure regulation failure due to loosening or falling off. Moreover, through the cooperation of the internal and external threads, the position movement of the adjusting member 74 is more precise and controllable, realizing the precise adjustment of the pressure regulating component and improving the pressure regulation accuracy of the pressure regulating component.

By providing the sealing ring 75, when the adjusting member 74 moves, leakage of liquid from the connection gap between the adjusting member 74 and the pressure relief chamber 7012 is effectively prevented, thereby ensuring the sealing performance and stability of the pressure regulating valve 7.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the valve plug 72 has a spherical shape on the side near the liquid inlet 7011. This spherical shape helps reduce the resistance to liquid flow, accelerates the response speed of the elastic element 73, and enables the pressure regulating assembly to respond more quickly to changes in external pressure, thus improving pressure regulating efficiency.
[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the water supply unit also includes a first three-way control valve 8, one inlet of the first three-way control valve 8 is connected to an external water source 3, the other inlet of the first three-way control valve 8 is connected to a water tank 4, and the outlet of the first three-way control valve 8 is connected to the inlet of the first water pump 5.
