Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee equipment technology, and in particular to a coffee cup. Background Technology
[0002] Coffee is a popular beverage, and coffee lovers often prefer to brew their own coffee by freshly grinding beans for a richer, more aromatic experience. While there are many coffee machines on the market, they are generally bulky and suitable for home or fixed locations, making them inconvenient to carry and use. In contrast to these bulky machines, coffee cups with grinding and centrifugal extraction functions are much smaller. The blades are located in the centrifugal chamber of the cup. During grinding, the blades rotate to grind the coffee beans. However, if there are many coffee beans in the centrifugal chamber, they can easily get stuck between the blades and the chamber. This causes the chamber to rotate synchronously, resulting in no relative movement between the blades and the chamber, making it difficult for the blades to grind the beans effectively, leading to grinding failure. Utility Model Content
[0003] Based on this, the present invention provides a coffee cup that can prevent the centrifugal chamber from rotating synchronously with the blade during the grinding process, effectively ensuring smooth grinding.
[0004] A coffee cup includes a centrifuge chamber, a blade, an inner lid, an outer lid assembly, and a cup body.

[0009] In one embodiment, the coffee cup further includes a drive mechanism, a base, a first engaging member, and a second engaging member. The drive mechanism is kinetically connected to the base. A first end of the base is connected to the cutter, and a second end of the base is connected to the first engaging member. The second engaging member is connected to the bottom of the centrifuge chamber. When the drive mechanism rotates forward, the first engaging member and the second engaging member separate, and the locking foot is engaged in the slot. When the drive mechanism rotates in reverse, the first engaging member and the second engaging member connect, and the locking foot exits the slot.
[0010] In one embodiment, the inner cover includes a cover body and a cover plate. The cover body includes a side wall and a bottom wall connected together. The side wall is sleeved on the outer periphery of the centrifuge chamber wall. The bottom wall closes the opening of the centrifuge chamber. A through hole is formed in the middle of the bottom wall. The cover plate covers the upper end face of the cover body and closes the through hole. A slot is formed on the upper end face of the cover plate. The cover plate is rotatably connected to the outer cover assembly.
[0011] In one embodiment, the lower end face of the cover plate is provided with a downwardly protruding first limiting ring, which passes through the through hole. The upper end face of the cover plate is provided with an upwardly protruding second limiting ring, which contains a first bearing. The outer ring of the first bearing is close to the inner wall of the second limiting ring. The lower end face of the outer cover assembly is provided with a downwardly extending mounting platform, and the inner ring of the first bearing is close to the outer wall of the mounting platform.
[0012] In one embodiment, the second limiting ring has a mounting hole, the mounting platform extends into the mounting hole, and the first limiting ring has a downwardly protruding third limiting ring, the inner diameter of the third limiting ring being larger than the inner diameter of the mounting hole.
[0013] The coffee cup also includes a water pump, a pipe, a connector, a nozzle, and a connector. The upper end face of the connector has an upwardly protruding first joint and a connecting platform, and the lower end face of the connector has a downwardly protruding second joint. The first joint and the second joint are in through communication. The connector is installed in the third limiting ring. The connector is locked in the mounting platform and the connecting platform. The first joint passes through the mounting platform. The water pump is connected to the pipe. A liquid storage chamber is formed inside the cup. One end of the pipe is in communication with the liquid storage chamber, and the other end of the pipe is in communication with the first joint. The nozzle is in communication with the second joint.
[0014] In one embodiment, the coffee cup further includes an extraction chamber, which is detachably installed inside the cup body. The extraction chamber includes a first chamber and a second chamber connected vertically. The first chamber is fitted around the periphery of the centrifugal chamber, and the outer cover assembly covers the opening of the first chamber. An extraction gap is left between the inner wall of the first chamber and the outer wall of the centrifugal chamber. A through hole is formed on the bottom wall of the first chamber, and the through hole communicates with the liquid storage chamber. The second chamber is located below the centrifugal chamber, and a driving mechanism is provided inside the second chamber.

The battery is disposed inside the shell, and the control component is electrically connected to the drive mechanism, the water pump, and the battery.
[0016] This invention relates to a coffee cup that incorporates an anti-jamming component on the outer lid assembly. When the burr is grinding beans in the forward direction, if a jamming occurs, the anti-jamming component's locking foot will engage in the locking groove once the centrifuge chamber is rotated synchronously in the forward direction. This effectively prevents the centrifuge chamber from rotating synchronously, ensuring smooth grinding. Since the locking groove and the locking foot are both inclined on the same side, when the centrifuge chamber and inner lid rotate in the opposite direction for centrifugal extraction after grinding, the locking foot will disengage from the locking groove along the inclined side, no longer restricting the rotation of the centrifuge chamber and inner lid.

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0033] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a coffee cup, including a centrifuge chamber 20, a cutter 21, an inner lid 123, an outer lid assembly 120, and a cup body 10. The cutter 21 is rotatably disposed within the centrifuge chamber 20, which is disposed within the cup body 10. The outer lid assembly 120 covers the opening of the cup body 10, and the inner lid 123 covers the opening of the centrifuge chamber 20. (See reference...) Figure 5 , Figure 6The inner cover 123 has a slot 1235 on its upper surface, and the outer cover assembly 120 has an anti-jamming assembly 110. The anti-jamming assembly 110 has a locking foot 1111 that can engage with the slot 1235, and both the slot 1235 and the locking foot 1111 have an inclined sidewall. Figure 5 The locking foot 1111 has a first inclined surface 11; the locking groove 1235 has a second inclined surface 12. The angle between the second inclined surface 12 and the horizontal plane is smaller than the angle between the first inclined surface 11 and the horizontal plane, making it easier for the locking foot 1111 to be inserted into and removed from the locking groove 1235.
[0035] In this embodiment of the coffee cup, an anti-jamming component 110 is provided on the outer cover assembly 120. If a jamming occurs when the blade 21 is grinding coffee beans, the centrifugal chamber 20 will rotate synchronously forward. (Refer to...) Figure 6 In the direction indicated by arrow A, the locking foot 1111 of the anti-jamming component 110 will lock into the slot 1235, thus locking the inner cover 123 and the centrifuge chamber 20. This effectively prevents the centrifuge chamber 20 from being driven to rotate synchronously, ensuring smooth grinding. Since the same sidewall of the slot 1235 and the locking foot 1111 are both inclined, when the centrifuge chamber 20 and the inner cover 123 rotate in opposite directions for centrifugal extraction after grinding, refer to... Figure 6 In the direction indicated by arrow B, the locking foot 1111 will exit the slot 1235 along the inclined side, no longer restricting the rotation of the centrifuge chamber 20 and the inner cover 123.
[0036] Optionally, refer to Figure 6 In one embodiment, there are multiple slots 1235, which are spaced apart around the axis of the inner cover 123. The multiple spaced slots 1235 allow the locking foot 1111 to quickly engage with any one of them, thus quickly stopping the centrifuge chamber 20.
[0037] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6In one embodiment, the anti-jamming component 110 includes a retaining member 111, a pressure plate 112, and an elastic member 113. One end of the retaining member 111 is rotatably connected to the outer cover component 120, and the other end of the retaining member 111 has a retaining foot 1111, which passes through the outer cover component 120 and engages with the retaining groove 1235. The outer cover component 120 is provided with a first protrusion 1221, one end of the pressure plate 112 is sleeved on the first protrusion 1221, and the other end of the pressure plate 112 presses against the elastic member 113, which in turn presses against the retaining member 111. The pressure plate 112 and the elastic element 113 press against the upper part of the retaining element 111, which on the one hand applies a certain pressure to the retaining foot 1111 so that when the centrifuge chamber 20 is driven to rotate forward, it locks the inner cover 123 and prevents the retaining element 111 from coming out. On the other hand, when the centrifuge chamber 20 is driven to rotate in reverse, the retaining foot 1111 can rotate upward relative to the outer cover assembly 120 and disengage from the retaining groove 1235.
[0038] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the outer cover assembly 120 is further provided with a second protrusion 1222 and a bearing seat 1223. A through hole is provided in the middle of the retaining member 111, and the retaining member 111 is sleeved onto the second protrusion 1222 through the through hole. The elastic member 113 is sleeved outside the second protrusion 1222. The bearing seat 1223 is located between the first protrusion 1221 and the second protrusion 1222. The bearing seat 1223 has a first hole open at the top, and a second hole open at the bottom is provided on the lower end face of the pressure plate 112. The first hole and the second hole correspond vertically to form a shaft hole. One end of the retaining member 111 is provided with a rotating shaft 1112, which is rotatably disposed within the shaft hole. The retaining member 111 is movably disposed within the shaft hole via the rotating shaft 1112, and the second protrusion 1222 vertically limits the retaining member 111 and the elastic member 113.
[0039] Furthermore, referring to Figure 7 , Figures 10 to 12In one embodiment, the coffee cup further includes a drive mechanism 40, a base 310, a first engaging member 320, and a second engaging member 330. The drive mechanism 40 is kinetically connected to the base 310, and a first end of the base 310 is connected to the cutter 21. A second end of the base 310 is connected to the first engaging member 320, and the second engaging member 330 is connected to the bottom of the centrifuge chamber 20. When the drive mechanism 40 rotates forward, the first engaging member 320 and the second engaging member 330 separate, and the retaining foot 1111 is engaged in the retaining groove 1235; when the drive mechanism 40 rotates in reverse, the first engaging member 320 and the second engaging member 330 connect, and the retaining foot 1111 exits the retaining groove 1235. The drive mechanism 40 drives the base 310 to rotate clockwise, driving the cutter 21 to grind coffee beans. At this time, the first engaging member 320 and the second engaging member 330 are separated, meaning that the power of the drive mechanism 40 is not transmitted to the centrifuge chamber 20. Furthermore, the locking foot 1111 is engaged in the slot 1235, further restricting the rotation of the centrifuge chamber 20 and ensuring that the centrifuge chamber 20 remains stationary during the grinding process. The drive mechanism 40 drives the base 310 to rotate counterclockwise, driving the cutter 21 and the centrifuge chamber 20 to centrifuge and extract coffee. At this time, the first engaging member 320 and the second engaging member 330 are connected, meaning that the power of the drive mechanism 40 is simultaneously transmitted to the centrifuge chamber 20. The locking foot 1111 disengages from the slot 1235, no longer restricting the rotation of the centrifuge chamber 20. The high-speed rotation of the centrifuge chamber 20 causes the coffee powder inside to be thrown against the side wall of the centrifuge chamber 20 under centrifugal force. By spraying water into the centrifuge chamber 20 to mix with the coffee powder, the extracted coffee liquid overflows from the opening of the centrifuge chamber 20.
[0040] Optionally, refer to Figure 12 The blade 21 includes a screw and two cross-layered blades. A connecting hole is provided in the middle of the blades, through which the screw passes to lock the blades onto the base 310. One blade is bent downwards and the other is bent upwards. This increases the probability of the blades colliding with the coffee beans, improving the grinding efficiency, and also prevents the coffee beans from getting stuck between the blades and the bottom wall of the centrifuge chamber 20.
[0041] Optionally, refer to Figure 12 The centrifuge chamber 20 has an overflow groove 202 at the edge of its opening. The inner cover 123 seals the centrifuge chamber 20, preventing coffee powder from flying out during grinding. Simultaneously, the overflow groove 202 at the edge of the centrifuge chamber 20 allows the extracted coffee liquid to flow upwards along the overflow groove 202 and out of the centrifuge chamber 20 during centrifugal extraction. The overflow groove 202 has a small aperture, making it difficult for coffee powder to overflow.
[0042] Specifically, in one embodiment, the base 310 includes an upper cover 311, a base plate 312, and a boss 313, with one side of the base plate 312 connected to the boss 313. In this embodiment, the base plate 312 and the boss 313 are an integral structure. A second bearing 340 is fitted onto the boss 313. The first engaging member 320 is rotatably connected to the base plate 312. The bottom wall of the centrifuge chamber 20 protrudes inward to form a platform, and the platform has a through hole. The upper cover 311 covers the platform and is connected to the cutter 21. The boss 313 extends into the through hole and is connected to the upper cover 311. The upper cover 311 is located inside the centrifuge chamber 20 and covers the platform, with its lower part protruding into the through hole and connected integrally with the boss 313. An installation space is formed in the area below the base. The base plate 312 is located below the bottom wall of the centrifuge chamber 20. The top cover 311 and the base plate 312 encapsulate the boss 313, the second bearing 340 and the first meshing member 320 in the installation space.
[0043] Specifically, the first engaging member 320 is a toothed block, with a rotating hole at one end and pointed teeth at the other. A protrusion is provided on the base plate 312, and the toothed block is rotatably mounted on the protrusion through the rotating hole. A rotational clearance is provided between the protrusion and the boss 313. The drive mechanism 40 drives the base 310 and the first engaging member 320 to rotate clockwise. The tip of the first engaging member 320 can rotate around the protrusion within the rotational clearance range. The tip of the first engaging member 320 does not get stuck on the second engaging member 330, and the two remain separated, preventing the centrifuge chamber 20 from rotating with it. The second engaging member 330 is a gear ring with multiple internal teeth, all facing the same direction. The gear ring is fixed to the wall of the mounting hole 1238 and located at the position corresponding to the first engaging member 320. When the toothed block rotates in the second direction, it can engage and lock with the internal teeth. Optionally, a spring is also abutting between the first engaging member 320 and the boss 313. Through the action of the spring, after the base 310 rotates forward, the first engaging member 320 can return to a specific position, ensuring that it can engage with the second engaging member 330 when it rotates backward.
[0044] Reference Figures 6 to 9In one embodiment, the inner cover 123 includes a cover body 1232 and a cover plate 1234. The cover body 1232 includes a connected side wall and a bottom wall. The side wall is fitted around the outer periphery of the centrifuge chamber 20, and the bottom wall closes the opening of the centrifuge chamber 20. A through hole is formed in the middle of the bottom wall, and the cover plate 1234 covers the upper end face of the cover body 1232 and closes the through hole. A slot 1235 is formed on the upper end face of the cover plate 1234, and the cover plate 1234 is rotatably connected to the outer cover assembly 120. By sealing the opening of the centrifuge chamber 20 with the cover body 1232 and the cover, and with the side wall of the cover body 1232 surrounding the upper outer wall of the centrifuge chamber 20, the extracted coffee liquid flows out along the gap between the two, preventing coffee liquid from splashing. The cover body 1232 and the cover plate 1234 are separately disposed. The cover plate 1234 is rotatably connected to the outer cover assembly 120. When it is necessary to fill beans, refer to... Figure 3 The outer cover assembly 120 can be opened, and the cover plate 1234 is opened simultaneously. At this time, the cover body 1232 is still covering the centrifuge chamber 20. The coffee can be quickly put into the centrifuge chamber 20 through the through hole, and the cover plate 1234 is placed on the upper surface of the cover body 1232. Through the friction between the two, the cover plate 1234 can rotate or remain stationary synchronously with the cover body 1232 and the centrifuge chamber 20.
[0045] Furthermore, referring to Figures 6 to 9 In one embodiment, the lower end face of the cover plate 1234 is provided with a downwardly protruding first limiting ring 1236, which passes through the through hole. The upper end face of the cover plate 1234 is provided with an upwardly protruding second limiting ring 1237, and a first bearing 124 is provided inside the second limiting ring 1237. The outer ring of the first bearing 124 is tightly fitted against the inner wall of the second limiting ring 1237. The lower end face of the outer cover assembly 120 is provided with a downwardly extending mounting platform 1224, and the inner ring of the first bearing 124 is tightly fitted against the outer wall of the mounting platform 1224. The cover plate 1234 can be quickly placed on the cover body 1232 through the first limiting ring 1236, and the first limiting ring 1236 can also increase the friction between the cover plate 1234 and the cover body 1232, ensuring that the two can rotate synchronously or remain stationary. The first bearing 124 is installed by the second limiting ring 1237, so that the cover plate 1234, the cover body 1232 and the centrifugal chamber 20 can be reversed more smoothly to extract coffee.
[0046] Reference Figure 8 , Figure 9 In one embodiment, the second limiting ring 1237 has a mounting hole 1238, and the mounting platform 1224 extends into the mounting hole 1238. The first limiting ring 1236 has a downwardly protruding third limiting ring 1239, the inner diameter of which is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting hole 1238. Figure 3, Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The coffee cup also includes a water pump 60, a pipe 61, a connector 65, a nozzle 66, and a connector. The upper surface of the connector 65 has an upwardly protruding first joint and a connecting platform, and the lower surface of the connector 65 has a downwardly protruding second joint. The first joint and the second joint are in continuous communication. The connector 65 is installed within the third limiting ring 1239, and the connector is locked within the mounting platform 1224 and the connecting platform. The first joint passes through the mounting platform 1224. The water pump 60 is connected to the pipe 61, and a liquid storage chamber 101 is formed within the cup body 10. One end of the pipe 61 is connected to the liquid storage chamber 101. The other end of the pipe 61 is connected to the first joint, and the nozzle 66 is connected to the second joint. The diameter of the connecting seat 65 is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting hole 1238. The connecting seat 65 is installed inside the third limiting ring 1239, meaning that the outer periphery of the upper end face of the connecting seat 65 abuts against the cover plate 1234, and the connecting seat 65 is connected to the mounting platform 1224 via a connector. The connector can be a screw, bolt, or other parts. Optionally, the connecting seat 65 and the cover plate 1234 are also provided with a sealing gasket 67 to prevent liquid in the centrifuge chamber 20 from leaking through the gap between them.
[0047] Water from the storage chamber 101 is pumped into the centrifuge chamber 20 by a water pump 60 for coffee extraction. The water pump 60 can be a peristaltic pump, which is compact and more hygienic. The pipeline 61 includes a first pipe, a second pipe, and a third pipe connected in sequence. The first end of the first pipe extends into the storage chamber 101, and the second end is a plug-in end. The first end of the second pipe can be quickly plugged into the second end of the first pipe, and the second end of the second pipe is connected to the inlet of the water pump 60. The first end of the third pipe is connected to the outlet of the water pump 60, and the second end of the third pipe is connected to a first connector. When the water pump 60 is activated, the liquid in the storage chamber 101 flows from the first pipe into the second pipe, then through the third pipe, the first connector, and the second connector, and finally is sprayed into the centrifuge chamber 20 through the spray nozzle 66, mixing with the coffee powder inside the centrifuge chamber 20. The nozzle diameter is less than 1 mm, such as 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, or 0.6 mm, allowing for greater spray pressure. This enables the sprayed liquid to mix better with the coffee powder, and then, under centrifugal force, extracts the coffee liquid, which is then ejected from the opening of the centrifuge chamber 20, improving the coffee extraction rate and speed. In this embodiment, the nozzle 66 is positioned above the middle of the blade 21 to avoid interfering with the rotation path of the blade 21. In other embodiments, the nozzle 66 can also be positioned near the lower part of the inner wall of the centrifuge chamber 20, allowing the sprayed water to mix better with the coffee powder that is centrifugally thrown towards the inner wall.
[0048] Furthermore, pipe 61 also includes a straw, the first end of which is connected to the second pipe. After extraction, the coffee liquid in the reservoir 101 can be directly drawn out through the straw for easy drinking. The second pipe, the third pipe, and the straw are all mounted on the outer cover assembly 120. When adding water or pouring out coffee liquid, the second pipe can be quickly connected to or separated from the first pipe.
[0049] In other embodiments, the water pump 60 is disposed inside the outer cover assembly 120, ensuring that after the outer cover assembly 120 is removed from the cup body 10, the water pump 60 is disconnected from the first pipe, preventing water from spraying out from the second end of the first pipe and causing water to splash. Specifically, refer to... Figure 3 , 4 In one embodiment, the outer cover assembly 120 includes an outer cover 121 and a mounting cover 122. A receiving cavity is formed above the mounting cover 122, and the water pump 60 and anti-jamming assembly 110 are installed within the receiving cavity. The outer cover 121 covers the outside of the receiving cavity. The first bearing 124 is disposed between the inner cover 123 and the mounting cover 122. The first ends of the second tube, the suction tube, and the third tube are also installed within the receiving cavity. The outer cover 121 encapsulates the water pump 60, the second tube, the suction tube, and the first ends of the third tube within the receiving cavity. The outer cover 121 is provided with a locking member 1212, and the extraction chamber 50 is provided with a locking hole 514. The outer cover assembly 120 can be locked or opened by the cooperation of the locking member 1212 and the locking hole 514. The top of the outer cover 121 is also provided with a flip cover 1211 that is flipped and connected thereto.

[0050] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 10 In one embodiment, the coffee cup further includes an extraction chamber 50, which is detachably installed inside the cup body 10. The extraction chamber 50 includes a first chamber 510 and a second chamber 520 connected vertically. The first chamber 510 is fitted around the periphery of the centrifugal chamber 20, and the outer cover assembly 120 covers the opening of the first chamber 510. An extraction gap is left between the inner wall of the first chamber 510 and the outer wall of the centrifugal chamber 20. A through hole is formed on the bottom wall of the first chamber 510, which communicates with the liquid storage chamber 101. The second chamber 520 is located below the centrifugal chamber 20, and a drive mechanism 40 is provided inside the second chamber 520. The drive mechanism 40 is drive-connected to the centrifugal chamber 20. By setting the extraction chamber 50 to fit around the periphery of the centrifugal chamber 20, the drive mechanism 40 can be drive-connected to the centrifugal chamber 20. (Refer to...) Figure 2When water needs to be added or coffee liquid needs to be poured out, the extraction chamber 50, along with its internal drive mechanism 40, centrifugal chamber 20, and outer cover assembly 120, are removed from the cup body 10, exposing the liquid storage chamber 101. Water can then be added to the liquid storage chamber 101 or the coffee liquid in the liquid storage chamber 101 can be poured out. The coffee liquid extracted by the centrifugal chamber 20 overflows from its opening and flows into the first chamber 510 along the extraction gap, and then flows into the liquid storage chamber 101 through the through hole. Furthermore, a mounting plate is provided at the opening of the second chamber 520, encapsulating the drive mechanism 40 within the second chamber 520. The drive shaft of the drive mechanism 40 extends out of the mounting plate and connects to the base 310. Optionally, a heat insulation component 540 is also provided above the mounting plate to prevent the heat from the drive mechanism 40 from being conducted into the centrifugal chamber 20, thus affecting the taste of the coffee liquid.
[0051] Furthermore, the mounting cover 122 is disposed over the opening of the extraction chamber 50, and one side of the mounting cover 122 is rotatably connected to the extraction chamber 50. That is, the outer cover assembly 120 as a whole can be flipped relative to the extraction chamber 50, thereby opening or closing the extraction chamber 50 and the centrifuge chamber 20.
[0052] In one embodiment, the opening of the second chamber 520 is provided with a baffle wall protruding into the first chamber 510. The bottom wall of the first chamber 510 is inclined, and the bottom wall of the first chamber 510 and the baffle wall form a flow channel, with the through hole located at the lowest point of the flow channel. A mounting plate is pressed against the baffle wall, preventing coffee liquid from flowing into the second chamber 520. The inclined flow channel allows the coffee liquid to flow along the channel to the through hole and enter the storage chamber 101. (See reference...) Figure 10 Optionally, a filter 530 can be installed in the first chamber 510 of the extraction chamber 50 to further filter the extracted coffee liquid and improve the taste of the coffee liquid.
[0053] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 10 In one embodiment, a spring member 41 is provided between the top of the drive mechanism 40 and the base 310. Further, a transmission member 42 is connected to the output shaft of the drive mechanism 40, in conjunction with... Figure 11 , Figure 12 The base 310 has a limiting hole 3102, and the transmission component 42 is disposed within the limiting hole 3102. The spring component 41 abuts against the top of the transmission component 42 between the base 310 and the base 310. Specifically, the transmission component 42 is a polygonal component, and the limiting hole 3102 is a polygonal hole. The transmission component 42 cooperates with the limiting hole 3102 to drive the base 310 to rotate. In other embodiments, the spring component 41 can also be disposed between the bottom of the drive mechanism 40 and the second compartment 520. The elastic space of the spring component 41 avoids the drive mechanism 40 from being improperly installed with the base 310 due to errors during assembly, ensuring that the drive mechanism 40 can be better connected to the base 310.
[0054] In one embodiment, the coffee cup further includes a shell 80, a handle 81, a control component 90, and a battery 91. The shell 80 is fitted over the cup body 10, the handle 81 is connected to one side of the shell 80, the control component 90 is disposed inside the handle 81, and a control switch 92 electrically connected to the control component 90 is provided on the handle 81. The battery 91 is disposed inside the shell 80, and the control component 90 is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 40, the water pump 60, and the battery 91. By rationally arranging the control component 90 within the space of the handle 81, the coffee cup can be conveniently and quickly opened or closed by operating the control switch 92. (See reference...) Figure 2 The top of the cup handle 81 is provided with a contact 93, and the extraction chamber 50 is provided with another contact that matches the contact 93 at the corresponding position. When the extraction chamber 50 and the outer cover assembly 120 are removed, the contact 93 is disconnected and the water pump 60 is automatically powered off. When the extraction chamber 50 and the outer cover assembly 120 are installed on the cup body 10, the contact 93 is connected and the water pump 60 can be powered on and started.
[0055] Reference Figure 7 Furthermore, the coffee cup also includes a cooling mechanism 70, which is disposed within the outer casing 80 and located below the cup body 10. The cooling mechanism 70 cools the coffee, exchanging heat with the contents of the cup body 10 to lower the temperature of the liquid in the storage chamber 101, thereby extracting a low-temperature coffee liquid that better preserves the rich flavor of the coffee and meets the needs of those who prefer iced coffee. The cup body 10 and the pipe 61 are covered with heat-insulating material to prevent heat exchange between the liquid in the storage chamber 101 and the outside environment. After the coffee liquid extracted by the centrifuge chamber 20 overflows, it flows into the storage chamber 101. The water pump 60 repeatedly pumps the liquid from the storage chamber 101 into the centrifuge chamber 20 through the pipe 61 for multiple extractions. This cycle is repeated multiple times, allowing the liquid in the storage chamber 101 to be cooled more quickly, enabling the production of cold brew or iced coffee liquid with a better taste in a shorter time.
[0056] Specifically, in one embodiment, the cooling mechanism 70 includes a cooling plate, a radiator, and a fan. The cooling plate is attached to the bottom wall of the cup body 10, and the radiator and fan are located on the side of the cooling plate away from the cup body 10. When the cooling plate is activated, one side is the cold side and the other side is the hot side. The cold side exchanges heat with the cup body 10, and the heat from the hot side is dissipated outward by the radiator. The fan blows the heat out of the outer casing 80.
[0057] Optionally, the fan includes a first fan and a second fan, with the first fan positioned below the heat sink. The heat sink is annular in shape, and the second fan is located within the inner ring of the heat sink 720. The outer casing 80 has a first air vent 801 corresponding to the position of the first fan, and a second air vent 802 corresponding to the position of the heat sink. Specifically, the first fan is an axial fan, and the second fan is a blower. When the first and second fans are activated, outside air enters the outer casing 80 through the first air vent 801, flows to the second fan, exchanges heat with the heat sink, and is finally blown out through the second air vent 802, carrying the heat out of the outer casing 80.
[0058] The coffee cup in at least one of the above embodiments has both grinding and extraction functions, and by setting an anti-jamming component 110, the centrifugal chamber 20 is further prevented from rotating during the grinding process, ensuring that the grinding can be carried out smoothly. The ground coffee powder is extracted by centrifugal force, resulting in a high extraction rate and a better coffee taste.
