Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee machines, and in particular to a collection device and a coffee machine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional coffee machine designs typically focus on collecting solid and liquid residues, such as coffee grounds and wastewater, while neglecting steam recovery. During operation, especially during high-pressure extraction or steam heating, coffee machines generate a large amount of high-temperature steam. However, directly releasing this steam can lead to increased humidity around the machine and even liquid residue, affecting its normal function. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a collection device and coffee machine to address the problem that the direct emission of steam from traditional coffee machines can easily lead to increased humidity around the equipment and even liquid residue, thus affecting the normal function of the coffee machine.

[0004] A collection device includes: a supporting shell; a wastewater collection structure disposed on the supporting shell, the wastewater collection structure having a receiving cavity or the wastewater collection structure and the supporting shell enclosing a receiving cavity, the wastewater collection structure having a guiding space or the wastewater collection structure and the supporting shell enclosing a guiding space, the wastewater collection structure having a liquid storage cavity, the receiving cavity, the guiding space and the liquid storage cavity being sequentially connected; and a steam collection structure disposed on the supporting shell, the steam collection structure having a steam inlet and a steam outlet, the steam collection structure having a flow space, the steam inlet, the flow space and the steam outlet being sequentially connected, the steam outlet being connected to the guiding space.

[0005] The first aspect of this application discloses a collection device that allows for the assembly of other components of a coffee machine through a receiving cavity. The receiving cavity, a guide space, and a liquid storage cavity are sequentially connected. Wastewater generated by components assembled in the receiving cavity can be transported to the liquid storage cavity through the guide space, preventing liquid accumulation in the receiving cavity and thus avoiding interference with the normal function of the product. A steam collection structure is sequentially connected to a steam inlet, a flow space, and a steam outlet. The steam inlet can be connected to a steam generating component, allowing steam generated by the steam generating component to directly enter the flow space through the steam inlet. The steam transforms into a flowing liquid state within the flow space, preventing disorderly steam diffusion and increased humidity around the equipment. Furthermore, after collection, the steam merges with the wastewater through the guide space, reducing the impact of ambient humidity on the internal components of the coffee machine and ensuring long-term stable operation. This design effectively reduces liquid residue on the equipment, ensuring the normal functioning of the coffee machine and effectively extending the product's lifespan.

[0006] In one embodiment, the wastewater collection structure is provided with a guide port, which is connected to both the guide space and the storage chamber. Directly connecting the guide space and the storage chamber through the guide port ensures that the condensate formed from wastewater and steam flows efficiently and directionally into the storage chamber, avoiding stagnation in the guide space and reducing the risk of liquid residue.

[0007] In one embodiment, the wastewater collection structure includes an opening and a waste residue chamber, with the receiving chamber, the opening, and the waste residue chamber sequentially connected. The opening connects the receiving chamber and the waste residue chamber, allowing other components of the coffee machine, such as scrapers or cleaning mechanisms, to directly scrape waste residue into the waste residue chamber, preventing residue buildup within the receiving chamber. This design enables the waste residue to be collected in a dedicated waste residue chamber, avoiding frequent manual cleaning of the receiving chamber and simplifying the maintenance process.

[0008] In one embodiment, the flow guiding space includes a first flow channel and a second flow channel, the first flow channel intersecting the second flow channel, and the receiving cavity, the first flow channel, the second flow channel, and the liquid storage cavity are sequentially connected. The intersection of the first and second flow channels enables smooth liquid flow within the planned flow guiding space, achieving precision and stability in liquid flow.

[0009] In one embodiment, the steam collection structure includes a steam box, a cover assembly, and an isolation plate. The steam box is mounted on the supporting housing and has an installation port and a steam outlet. The cover assembly is mounted on the steam box and located at the installation port, and has a steam inlet. The isolation plate is mounted on the steam box and located inside the steam box. The steam box, the isolation plate, and the cover assembly enclose the flow space. The flow space formed by the steam box, isolation plate, and cover assembly ensures the integrity and controllability of the steam flow path. Furthermore, the enclosed flow space effectively prevents steam leakage, ensuring that the steam is transported entirely through the designed flow path. The isolation plate extends the steam flow path, allowing sufficient time for the steam to cool and form a flowable liquid state. Preferably, the cover assembly is detachably mounted on the steam box for easy cleaning and maintenance of the flow space.

[0010] In one embodiment, the isolation plate includes a first plate and a second plate. There are multiple first plates, each disposed on and inside the steam box. Similarly, there are multiple second plates, each disposed on and inside the steam box. The steam box, the multiple first plates, the multiple second plates, and the cover assembly enclose the flow space. By forming the flow space through the steam box, the multiple first plates, the multiple second plates, and the cover assembly, a more complex flow space with a longer steam flow path is created within the steam box, allowing the steam sufficient time to cool and form a flowable liquid state.

[0011] In one embodiment, the steam box body forms a first inner side and a second inner side, which are disposed opposite to each other. A first plate is connected to the first inner side and extends toward the second inner side, and a second plate is connected to the second inner side and extends toward the first inner side. By having the first and second plates extend from their respective inner sides, a staggered flow channel structure is formed, effectively extending the steam flow path and allowing sufficient time for the steam to condense into a flowable liquid state, thus improving the condensation effect. This steam treatment method is simple and convenient, and can effectively prevent increased humidity around the equipment from affecting the normal function of the product.

[0012] In one embodiment, the first and second plates are alternately arranged. This alternation creates a continuous steam flow channel, forcing the steam to change direction multiple times, extending the effective flow path, and allowing sufficient time for the steam to condense into a flowable liquid state, thus improving the condensation effect. This design achieves maximum steam treatment efficiency within a limited space while maintaining the compactness of the overall device structure.

[0013] In one embodiment, the steam box body forms an inner bottom surface. One side of the first plate abuts against the inner bottom surface, and the other side of the first plate abuts against the cover assembly. One side of the second plate abuts against the inner bottom surface, and the other side of the second plate abuts against the cover assembly. By having the first and second plates abut against the inner bottom surface and the cover assembly of the steam box body respectively, a relatively sealed flow space is formed, allowing steam to flow within this space. This effectively prevents steam leakage or short-circuiting, and significantly improves the steam condensation effect.

[0014] In one embodiment, multiple first plates are arranged sequentially along the length of the steam box. Multiple second plates are also arranged sequentially along the length of the steam box. The sequential arrangement of the first and second plates along the length creates a regular flow guiding system, ensuring the controllability and stability of the steam flow direction. Furthermore, the alternating arrangement of the first and second plates creates continuous turns in the steam flow path, significantly extending the steam residence time and improving condensation conversion efficiency.

[0015] In one embodiment, the wastewater collection structure includes a shell and a wastewater box. The shell is mounted on the supporting shell, and the shell and supporting shell together form the receiving cavity and the flow guiding space. The shell has a flow guiding port. The wastewater box is mounted on the shell and has a liquid storage chamber. The receiving cavity, the flow guiding space, the flow guiding port, and the liquid storage chamber are sequentially connected. The cooperation between the shell and the supporting shell forms a complete liquid flow channel, such as receiving cavity → flow guiding space → flow guiding port → liquid storage chamber, achieving orderly collection and transmission of wastewater. Furthermore, the enclosed design of the shell and supporting shell ensures that the liquid will not leak during transmission, maintaining the internal performance of the equipment. The detachable structure of the wastewater box facilitates cleaning of the liquid storage chamber and liquid pouring operations.

[0016] In one embodiment, the housing includes a first support shell, a second support shell, and a waste residue shell. The first support shell is disposed on the first support shell, the second support shell is disposed on the first support shell, and the waste residue shell is disposed on the first support shell and / or the second support shell. The waste residue shell has an opening and a waste residue cavity. The receiving cavity, the opening, and the waste residue cavity are sequentially connected. The second support shell has the flow guide or the second support shell and the first support shell enclose the flow guide to form the flow guide. The sequential connection of the receiving cavity, the opening, and the waste residue cavity forms a dedicated waste residue channel, such as receiving cavity → opening → waste residue cavity, ensuring separate collection of waste residue and liquid, and avoiding mixed contamination. This design integrates waste residue collection and wastewater diversion functions within a limited space, optimizing the overall structure.

[0017] In one embodiment, the system further includes a first guide rib and a second guide rib. The first guide rib is connected to the first support shell, and the second guide rib is connected to the second support shell. The first support shell, the first guide rib, the second guide rib, and the second support shell together form an assembly cavity. The waste residue shell is located within the assembly cavity. The first support shell, the first guide rib, the waste residue shell, and the support shell together form the receiving cavity. The first support shell, the second guide rib, the waste residue shell, the second support shell, and the support shell together form the guiding space. The connection design of the first and second guide ribs forms a frame support, enhancing the overall rigidity of the assembly cavity. The enclosure of the first and second guide ribs with the support shell clearly separates the receiving cavity, the guiding space, and the assembly cavity, achieving independent paths for waste residue collection and liquid guiding, and avoiding cross-contamination.

[0018] In one embodiment, the wastewater container and the first support shell are respectively located on both sides of the second support shell. By positioning the wastewater container and the first support shell on both sides of the second support shell, the integrated functions of waste residue collection, liquid diversion, and wastewater collection are achieved.

[0019] A coffee machine includes: the collection device described above.

[0020] The second aspect of this application discloses a coffee machine that, by integrating the aforementioned collection device, achieves efficient and coordinated treatment of wastewater, waste residue, and steam during the operation of the coffee machine. This ensures the effective implementation of other functions of the coffee machine, extends its service life, effectively reduces humidity around the equipment, and ensures internal cleanliness. The separate waste residue and wastewater collection design effectively avoids cross-contamination. Attached Figure Description

[0038] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0039] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] like Figure 1-13 As shown, this embodiment discloses a collection device, including: a supporting shell 1; a wastewater collection structure 2, which is disposed on the supporting shell 1, the wastewater collection structure 2 having a receiving cavity 201 or the wastewater collection structure 2 and the supporting shell 1 enclosing a receiving cavity 201, the wastewater collection structure 2 having a guiding space 202 or the wastewater collection structure 2 and the supporting shell 1 enclosing a guiding space 202, the wastewater collection structure 2 having a liquid storage cavity 203, the receiving cavity 201, the guiding space 202 and the liquid storage cavity 203 being sequentially connected; and a steam collection structure 3, which is disposed on the supporting shell 1, the steam collection structure 3 having a steam inlet 301 and a steam outlet 303, the steam collection structure 3 having a flow space 302, the steam inlet 301, the flow space 302 and the steam outlet 303 being sequentially connected, the steam outlet 303 being connected to the guiding space 202.

[0042] The first aspect of this application discloses a collection device that allows for the assembly of other components of a coffee machine via a receiving cavity 201. The receiving cavity 201, the guide space 202, and the liquid storage cavity 203 are sequentially connected. Wastewater generated by components assembled in the receiving cavity 201 can be transported to the liquid storage cavity 203 via the guide space 202, preventing liquid accumulation in the receiving cavity 201 and thus avoiding interference with the normal function of the product. The steam collection structure 3 has a steam inlet 301, a flow space 302, and a steam outlet 303 sequentially connected. The steam inlet 301 can be connected to a steam generating component, allowing steam generated by the steam generating component to directly enter the flow space 302 through the steam inlet 301. The steam transforms into a flowing liquid state within the flow space 302, preventing disorderly steam diffusion and increased humidity around the equipment. Furthermore, after collection, the steam merges with the wastewater through the guide space 202, reducing the impact of ambient humidity on the internal components of the coffee machine and ensuring long-term stable operation. This design effectively reduces liquid residue on the equipment, ensuring the normal functioning of the coffee machine and effectively extending the product's lifespan.

[0043] like Figure 9 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the wastewater collection structure 2 is provided with a guide port 204, which is connected to the guide space 202 and the storage chamber 203 respectively. The guide port 204 directly connects the guide space 202 and the storage chamber 203, ensuring that the condensate formed by wastewater and steam flows efficiently and directionally into the storage chamber 203, avoiding stagnation in the guide space 202 and reducing the risk of liquid residue.

[0044] like Figure 1-3As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the wastewater collection structure 2 is provided with an opening 205 and a waste residue chamber 206, and the receiving chamber 201, the opening 205, and the waste residue chamber 206 are sequentially connected. The opening 205 connects the receiving chamber 201 and the waste residue chamber 206, allowing other components of the coffee machine, such as scrapers or cleaning structures, to directly scrape waste residue into the waste residue chamber 206, preventing waste residue from accumulating in the receiving chamber 201. This design allows waste residue to be collected directionally into the dedicated waste residue chamber 206, avoiding frequent manual cleaning of the receiving chamber 201 and simplifying the maintenance process.

[0045] like Figure 9 and Figure 11-12 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the flow guiding space 202 includes a first flow channel 2021 and a second flow channel 2022, the first flow channel 2021 and the second flow channel 2022 intersect, and the receiving cavity 201, the first flow channel 2021, the second flow channel 2022 and the liquid storage cavity 203 are sequentially connected. The intersection of the first flow channel 2021 and the second flow channel 2022 enables smooth flow of liquid within the planned flow guiding space 202, achieving precision and stability in liquid flow.

[0046] like Figure 4-8 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines the following: the steam collection structure 3 includes a steam box 31, a cover assembly 32, and an isolation plate 33. The steam box 31 is disposed on the supporting housing 1, and the steam box 31 has an installation port 304 and a steam outlet 303. The cover assembly 32 is disposed on the steam box 31 and located at the installation port 304, and the cover assembly 32 has a steam inlet 301. The isolation plate 33 is disposed on the steam box 31 and located inside the steam box 31. The steam box 31, the isolation plate 33, and the cover assembly 32 enclose and form the flow space 302. By enclosing the flow space 302 with the steam box 31, the isolation plate 33, and the cover assembly 32, the integrity and controllability of the steam flow path are ensured. Moreover, the enclosed flow space 302 can effectively prevent steam leakage and ensure that the steam is completely transmitted through the designed flow path. The isolation plate 33 extends the steam flow path, allowing sufficient time for the steam to cool and form a flowable liquid. Preferably, the cover assembly 32 is detachably mounted on the steam box 31, facilitating cleaning and maintenance of the interior of the flow space 302.

[0047] like Figure 5-8As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the isolation plate 33 includes a first plate 331 and a second plate 332. There are multiple first plates 331, all of which are disposed on the steam box 31 and located inside the steam box 31. Similarly, there are multiple second plates 332, all of which are disposed on the steam box 31 and located inside the steam box 31. The steam box 31, the multiple first plates 331, the multiple second plates 332, and the cover assembly 32 enclose and form the flow space 302. By enclosing the flow space 302 within the steam box 31, a more complex flow space 302 with a longer steam flow path is formed, allowing sufficient time for the steam to cool and form a flowable liquid state.

[0048] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the steam box 31 forms a first inner side 305 and a second inner side 306, the first inner side 305 and the second inner side 306 are arranged opposite to each other, the first plate 331 is connected to the first inner side 305 and extends toward the second inner side 306, and the second plate 332 is connected to the second inner side 306 and extends toward the first inner side 305. By having the first plate 331 and the second plate 332 extend from their respective inner sides, an interlaced flow channel structure is formed, effectively extending the steam flow path, allowing the steam sufficient time to condense into a flowable liquid state, thus improving the condensation effect. This steam treatment method is simple and convenient, and can effectively prevent the humidity around the equipment from increasing and affecting the normal function of the product.

[0049] like Figure 5-8 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the first plate 331 and the second plate 332 are alternately arranged. By alternating the first plate 331 and the second plate 332, a continuous steam flow channel is formed, forcing the steam to change direction multiple times, extending the effective flow path, and allowing the steam sufficient time to condense into a flowable liquid state, thus improving the condensation effect. This design enables maximum steam treatment effect within a limited space while maintaining the compactness of the overall device structure.

[0050] like Figure 6As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the steam box 31 forms an inner bottom surface 307; one side of the first plate 331 abuts against the inner bottom surface 307, and the other side of the first plate 331 abuts against the cover assembly 32; one side of the second plate 332 abuts against the inner bottom surface 307, and the other side of the second plate 332 abuts against the cover assembly 32. By having the sides of the first plate 331 and the second plate 332 abut against the inner bottom surface 307 of the steam box 31 and the cover assembly 32 respectively, a relatively sealed flow space 302 is formed, allowing steam to flow within the relatively sealed flow space 302, effectively preventing steam leakage or short-circuit flow, and effectively improving the steam condensation effect.

[0051] like Figure 5-8 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: a plurality of first plates 331 are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the steam box 31. A plurality of second plates 332 are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the steam box 31. By arranging the first plates 331 and the second plates 332 sequentially along the length direction to form a regular flow guiding system, the controllability and stability of the steam flow direction are ensured. Moreover, the alternating arrangement of the first plates 331 and the second plates 332 forms continuous turns in the steam flow path, significantly extending the steam residence time and improving the condensation conversion efficiency.

[0052] like Figure 5-8 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines the wastewater collection structure 2 as follows: the wastewater collection structure 2 includes a shell 21 and a wastewater box 22. The shell 21 is disposed on the supporting shell 1, and the shell 21 and the supporting shell 1 enclose the receiving cavity 201 and the flow guiding space 202. The shell 21 is provided with a flow guiding port 204. The wastewater box 22 is disposed on the shell 21 and is provided with a liquid storage chamber 203. The receiving cavity 201, the flow guiding space 202, the flow guiding port 204, and the liquid storage chamber 203 are sequentially connected. The cooperation between the shell 21 and the supporting shell 1 forms a complete liquid flow channel, for example, receiving cavity 201 → flow guiding space 202 → flow guiding port 204 → liquid storage chamber 203, achieving orderly collection and transmission of wastewater. Furthermore, the enclosed design of the shell 21 and the supporting shell 1 ensures that the liquid will not leak during transmission, maintaining the internal performance of the equipment. The detachable structure of the wastewater box 22 facilitates the cleaning of the liquid storage chamber 203 and the liquid pouring operation.

[0053] like Figure 9-12As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the shell 21 includes a first support shell 211, a second support shell 212, and a waste residue shell 213. The first support shell 211 is disposed on the support shell 1, the second support shell 212 is disposed on the first support shell 211, and the waste residue shell 213 is disposed on the first support shell 211 and / or the second support shell 212. The waste residue shell 213 has an opening 205 and a waste residue cavity 206. The receiving cavity 201, the opening 205, and the waste residue cavity 206 are sequentially connected. The second support shell 212 has the guide port 204, or the second support shell 212 and the first support shell 211 enclose the guide port 204. By sequentially connecting the receiving cavity 201, the opening 205, and the waste residue cavity 206, a dedicated waste residue channel is formed, for example, receiving cavity 201 → opening 205 → waste residue cavity 206, ensuring that waste residue and liquid are collected separately and avoiding mixing and contamination. This design integrates waste collection and wastewater diversion functions within a limited space, optimizing the overall structure.

[0054] like Figure 9 and Figure 11-12 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes: a first guide rib 214 and a second guide rib 215. The first guide rib 214 is connected to the first support shell 211, and the second guide rib 215 is connected to the second support shell 212. The second guide rib 215 is connected to the first guide rib 214. The first support shell 211, the first guide rib 214, the second guide rib 215, and the second support shell 212 enclose an assembly cavity 207. The waste residue shell 213 is located within the assembly cavity 207. The first support shell 211, the first guide rib 214, the waste residue shell 213, and the support shell 1 enclose an accommodating cavity 201. The first support shell 211, the second guide rib 215, the waste residue shell 213, the second support shell 212, and the support shell 1 enclose a flow guiding space 202. The connection design of the first guide rib 214 and the second guide rib 215 forms a frame support, which strengthens the overall rigidity of the assembly cavity 207. The enclosure of the first guide rib 214, the second guide rib 215 and the support shell clearly separates the receiving cavity 201, the guiding space 202 and the assembly cavity 207, so as to achieve independent paths for waste collection and liquid guiding, and avoid cross-contamination.

[0055] like Figure 9-12As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the wastewater box 22 and the first support shell 211 are respectively located on both sides of the second support shell 212. By having the wastewater box 22 and the first support shell 211 respectively located on both sides of the second support shell 212, the integrated functions of waste residue collection, liquid diversion, and wastewater collection are achieved.
