Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee machine technology, and in particular to a portable quick-change coffee machine water tank. Background Technology

[0002] With the fast pace of modern life, convenient and efficient home appliances have become necessities for many people. Coffee machines, as an important tool for daily beverages, are widely used in the market, especially portable coffee machines, which are favored by consumers for their flexibility and efficiency. However, the water tank design in existing coffee machines has some problems in use and maintenance, especially when replacing the water tank. Due to the complex fixing structure or cumbersome operation, the user experience is often poor. Traditional fixing methods usually require users to perform relatively complicated operations, such as rotating the water tank or manually locking the buckle, which increases the difficulty of operation and time consumption. When the coffee machine is running, due to vibration or improper use, the water tank may shift or tilt, resulting in water leakage or other problems, affecting the normal operation of the coffee machine. For some portable coffee machines that need to be used in cold environments, traditional water tanks lack heating functions, and the water in the tank may freeze in low temperatures, making it unusable. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the installation and removal of water tanks in traditional coffee machines usually requires complicated operations (such as rotation or manual locking buckles). This solution achieves quick installation and removal of the water tank through a plug-in and pull-out mechanism and an adsorption magnet mechanism. In low-temperature environments, the water in the tank is prone to freezing, which affects the normal operation of the coffee machine. This solution provides the necessary heating to the water tank by building a heating rod inside the water tank box, preventing the water in the tank from freezing in cold environments and ensuring that the coffee machine can operate normally under various temperature conditions.

[0004] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A portable, quick-change water tank for a coffee machine includes a coffee machine, a water tank box located at the bottom of one side of the coffee machine, a water tank mounted on the water tank box, a brewing head located on one side of the top of the coffee machine, support legs located at the four corners of the bottom of the coffee machine, a box body including a housing, slots at the four corners of the inner side wall of the box body, a self-closing valve located at one foot of the bottom of the box body, first magnetic magnets at the four corners of the bottom of the box body, a plurality of drainage holes evenly distributed at the bottom of the box body, and a plurality of heating rods located inside the side walls of the box body. The water tank includes a housing, insertable locking strips at the four corners of the outer side of the housing, second magnetic magnets at the four corners of the bottom of the housing, a connection port at one corner of the bottom of the housing, a handle located at the top of the housing, and a locking cover located adjacent to the handle. This portable, quick-change water tank design allows users to easily insert and remove the locking strips... The design incorporates a strip and magnetic adsorption mechanism for quick installation and removal of the water tank. This significantly reduces the time and difficulty for users when replacing the water tank. The magnets ensure the water tank is more stable during placement and use, reducing displacement or tilting caused by improper placement. Furthermore, a self-closing valve at the bottom of the tank helps control leakage at the connection point between the water tank and the coffee machine, further enhancing the tank's seal. Evenly spaced drainage holes at the bottom of the tank effectively prevent overflow or dripping during replacement, ensuring a clean and dry environment around the coffee machine. This design effectively reduces user inconvenience during water tank removal and installation. An internal heating element helps the water tank reach a certain temperature, allowing for heat conduction and ensuring the water remains heated, preventing freezing even in cold outdoor environments.

[0006] Furthermore, the plug-in clip is plugged into the slot for quick guidance of the water tank. A buckle is located on the back of the housing, and a corresponding slot is provided on the coffee machine. The two are then assembled. The first and second magnetic magnets are connected for quick fixation of the water tank. Under the vibration of the coffee machine during operation, the multi-stage fixing structure ensures no displacement of the water tank, avoiding the risk of leakage. The plug-in clip is integrally molded using injection molding, and the pre-embedded magnet process reduces assembly costs. It is more aesthetically pleasing than traditional screw fixing, offering significant advantages in appearance. The "adsorption sound" of the magnetic attraction and the "click sound" of the buckle form an operation confirmation loop, providing the user with clear feedback on successful installation.

[0007] Furthermore, the plug-in strip is plugged into the slot for quick guidance of the water tank. The back of the box is provided with a buckle, and the corresponding position of the coffee machine is provided with a slot. The two are assembled and connected. The first adsorption magnet and the second adsorption magnet are adsorbed and connected for quick fixation of the water tank.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the self-closing valve is connected to a water pipe that connects to the heating boiler inside the coffee machine. The connection port is assembled with the self-closing valve, and a spring valve is installed inside the self-closing valve to automatically close it.

[0009] Furthermore, the drainage hole serves to prevent water accumulation and facilitates quick cleaning.

[0010] Furthermore, the water tank is a small water tank with a width of less than 25cm.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. Quick Replacement and Stability: Through the combination of plug-in clips, magnetic adsorption, and buckle structure, the water tank can be quickly installed and removed. The multi-level fixing mechanism (guide, buckle, magnetic attraction) ensures that the water tank is stable and does not shift during the operation of the coffee machine, avoiding the risk of water leakage caused by vibration, and improving the convenience and safety of users.

[0013] 2. Enhanced sealing and leak-proof design: The self-closing valve and leakage hole at the bottom of the water tank effectively prevent water leakage and overflow at the connection of the water tank. The spring valve of the self-closing valve can automatically close the water flow channel to ensure that water will not leak when the water tank is disassembled, keeping the surrounding environment dry and clean.

[0014] 3. Environmental adaptability and heating function: The internal heating element provides heat conduction to the water tank, ensuring that the water in the tank will not freeze in cold environments, thus guaranteeing the normal operation of the coffee machine in various environments, especially suitable for outdoor use or low-temperature environments.
