[0023] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the drip coffee machine of this utility model embodiment includes a base 1, a body 2, a water tank 3, a brewing chamber 4, a finished coffee container 5, and a brewing chamber connecting device 6. The body 2 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The water tank 3 is disposed above the body 2. The brewing chamber 4 is suspended and connected to the water tank 3 on its side. The finished coffee container 5 is placed on the base 1. The water in the water tank 3 is heated and pumped into the brewing chamber 4.

[0024] The technical solution adopted by the brewing chamber connection device of the drip coffee machine in this embodiment is as follows: the brewing chamber connection device includes a plug connection part 7 and a socket connection part 8. The plug connection part 7 is disposed on the side of the brewing chamber 4, and the socket connection part 8 is disposed on the side of the machine body 2. The plug connection part 7 and the socket connection part 8 are adapted to be plugged in so that the brewing chamber 4 and the machine body 2 can be quickly connected.

[0025] Furthermore, the plug connection part 7 includes a socket 71, side slots 72 on both sides, and a top groove 73 at the top.

After the brewing chamber 4 is connected to the body 2, the third magnet 75 and the reed switch 9 are matched and sensed, and the reed switch 9 is turned on, so that the drip coffee machine can pump hot water into the brewing chamber 4. When the brewing chamber 4 is separated from the body 2, the reed switch 9 can no longer sense the third magnet 75, and the reed switch 9 is turned off. At this time, the drip coffee machine cannot work and cannot pump hot water into the brewing chamber 4. Thus, the connection of the brewing chamber and the pumping of hot water by the machine are linked, avoiding the accidental pumping of hot water when the brewing chamber is separated, and improving the safety and convenience of use.

[0027] Furthermore, the body 2 is provided with an outwardly extending support arm 31 for guiding and delivering hot water into the brewing chamber 4. The top of the brewing chamber 4 is provided with a top cover 41, and one side of the top cover 41 is provided with an avoidance side opening 42 for avoiding the support arm 31 when the brewing chamber 4 is connected to the body 2, so as to prevent interference.

[0028] The brewing chamber connection device of this utility model overcomes the defects and shortcomings of the prior art. By setting a plug-socket connection mechanism, the brewing chamber and the machine body can be quickly and easily connected. The brewing chamber can be removed when needed for easy cleaning, and the connection is convenient. Therefore, the brewing chamber connection device of this utility model facilitates cleaning of the brewing chamber, is easy to use, and can be separated from the machine body when needed. Similarly, the drip coffee machine of this utility model also has the above-mentioned beneficial effects and is a drip coffee machine with a detachable brewing chamber.

[0029] This invention can be widely applied in the field of coffee brewing equipment.
