Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee machine technology, and specifically to an automatic locking coffee machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing progress of society, coffee machines have become a common appliance in people's daily lives. They are characterized by high efficiency, time-saving, economy and environmental protection. Different models meet the needs of everyone from convenience to geeks, integrating professional coffee experience into daily rituals and becoming a symbol of quality life.

[0003] For example, a home coffee machine with integrated heating and cooling, disclosed in CN219020851U, includes a coffee machine body, a water tank installed inside the coffee machine body, an upper cover installed at the top of the coffee machine body, a water storage platform above the base of the coffee machine body, a control module inside the coffee machine body, and a micro water pump, a cooling module, and a steam pump inside the coffee machine body.

[0004] However, existing coffee machines lack an automatic locking mechanism for the cup. When the cup is used to dispense coffee, it is simply placed under the spout, which can easily cause the cup to tip over or break if accidentally touched, thus reducing safety and user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes an automatic locking coffee machine.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows:

[0007] An automatic locking coffee machine includes a body, a machine head on the body, a water outlet on the machine head, and a water receiving part for placing a cup below the water outlet. The water receiving part includes a water receiving area for placing the cup, a fixed seat is raised and lowered on the water receiving part, and a drive component for driving the fixed seat to move up and down is provided inside the water receiving part.

[0008] The water receiving part is provided with a limiting stop. When the cup is placed on the water receiving area, the driving component drives the fixing seat to rise so that the limiting stop is arranged around the outer periphery of the cup and locked on the water receiving part.

[0009] Preferably, a lifting plate is provided inside the water receiving part, the fixed seat is disposed on the lifting plate, and the bottom of the lifting plate has a first lifting protrusion. The driving assembly includes a driving plate and a driving unit that drives the driving plate to slide. The driving plate has a second lifting protrusion, which slides along the trajectory of the first lifting protrusion to raise or lower the lifting plate. With the above improvement, when the cup is placed on the water receiving part to receive coffee, the driving unit drives the driving plate to slide, so that the second lifting protrusion abuts against the first lifting protrusion and slides along the trajectory of the first lifting protrusion, so that the fixed seat gradually rises, so that the limiting stop ring is disposed around the outer periphery of the cup and locks and fixes the cup to ensure the stability of the cup and prevent the cup from being accidentally bumped during the coffee receiving process, causing the cup to shift.

[0010] Preferably, a sliding bracket is provided inside the water receiving part, and a sliding groove is formed on the sliding bracket. The drive plate is slidably disposed in the sliding groove. Through the above improvements, the drive plate slides in the sliding groove, ensuring the stability of the drive plate during the sliding process, thereby improving the stability of the fixed seat during the up and down lifting process.

[0011] Preferably, a guide rod is formed at the bottom of the lifting plate, and a guide seat is formed inside the water receiving part to insert the guide rod. Through the above improvements, the guide rod and the guide seat cooperate to ensure the stability of the lifting plate during the lifting process, thereby further improving the stability of the fixed seat during the up and down lifting process.

[0012] Preferably, the lifting plate is provided with a weighing unit, and the fixed seat is set on the weighing unit. With the above improvement, when the cup is placed on the weighing unit, the weighing unit can sense the weight change, send a signal to the drive component, cause the drive plate to slide, and drive the fixed seat to rise and lock the cup. As coffee enters the cup, when the weight of the coffee reaches the specified value, the fixed seat will descend and release the cup, thereby improving the user experience.

[0013] Preferably, the limiting edges form a handle groove. With the above improvement, when using a cup with a handle to receive coffee, the handle groove can be used to avoid the handle.

[0014] Preferably, the water receiving part includes a base and a water receiving plate covering the base. The base and the water receiving plate form an installation space. The driving component is disposed in the installation space, and a guide groove for inserting a limiting stop is formed on the water receiving plate. Through the above improvements, the stability of the fixed seat during the up and down sliding process can be improved by using the guide groove.

[0015] Preferably, the water receiving plate forms a water receiving space, the surface of the water receiving plate forms a plurality of water inlet grooves that connect the water receiving space, and the bottom of the water receiving plate forms a drain hole, on which a detachable drain plug is inserted. Through the above improvements, the water receiving space can receive water from the water receiving part, and the water can be drained through the drain plug.

[0016] Preferably, the water receiving area is formed on a water receiving plate, and a positioning groove is formed on the water receiving area for the bottom of the cup to be placed in. Through the above improvements, the cup can be placed in the positioning groove to ensure the accuracy of the cup placement.

[0017] Preferably, a sealing ring is embedded in the wall of the guide groove, and the sealing ring abuts against the limiting stop. Through the above improvements, the sealing performance between the guide groove and the limiting stop is greatly improved, preventing external water from entering the installation space through the gap between the sealing ring and the limiting stop.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0019] By setting a fixed seat on the water receiving part and installing a drive component inside the water receiving part to drive the fixed seat to move up and down, a limiting stop is formed on the water receiving part. When the cup is placed on the water receiving area, the drive component drives the fixed seat to rise, so that the limiting stop is set around the outer periphery of the cup and locked on the water receiving part. This greatly improves the stability of the cup during the coffee receiving process, avoids the cup being knocked over during coffee receiving, and improves the user's safety and user experience.

[0032] Specifically, a limiting stop 1.4 is formed on the water receiving part 4. When the cup is placed on the water receiving area 1.1, the drive assembly 1.3 drives the fixed base 1.2 to rise so that the limiting stop 1.4 is arranged around the outer periphery of the cup and locked on the water receiving part 4.

[0033] When the cup is placed on the water receiving area 1.1 during the coffee dispensing process, the drive component 1.3 drives the fixed base 1.2 to rise, so that the limiting edge 1.4 is encircled around the outer perimeter of the cup and locked on the water receiving part 4. This greatly improves the stability of the cup during the coffee dispensing process, avoids the cup being knocked over during coffee dispensing, and improves the user's safety and user experience.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, as a further explanation of the embodiment of the fixed seat 1.2, a lifting plate 2.1 is provided in the water receiving part 4, the fixed seat 1.2 is provided on the lifting plate 2.1, and a first lifting protrusion 2.2 is formed at the bottom of the lifting plate 2.1.

The guide rod 3.3 and the guide seat 3.4 cooperate to ensure the stability of the lifting plate 2.1 during the lifting process, thereby further improving the stability of the fixed seat 1.2 during the up and down lifting process.

[0039] Preferably, the limiting edge 1.4 forms a handle groove 4.2, which allows the handle groove 4.2 to avoid the handle when using a cup with a handle to receive coffee.

[0040] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, in some other embodiments, a weighing unit 4.1 is provided on the lifting plate 2.1, and a fixing seat 1.2 is provided on the weighing unit 4.1. When the cup is placed on the weighing unit 4.1, the weighing unit 4.1 can sense the weight change and send a signal to the drive component 1.3 to make the drive plate 2.3 slide and drive the fixing seat 1.2 to rise and lock the cup. As coffee enters the cup, when the weight of the coffee reaches the specified value, the fixing seat 1.2 will descend and release the cup to improve the user experience.

[0041] like Figure 8 As shown, preferably, the head unit 2 is also equipped with a sensor 6.1. Only when the sensor 6.1 detects the cup can the drive unit 2.4 be activated to achieve dual detection of weight and laser.

[0042] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, as a further explanation of the embodiment of the water receiving part 4, the water receiving part 4 includes a base 4.3 and a water receiving plate 4.4 covering the base 4.3. The base 4.3 and the water receiving plate 4.4 form an installation space 4.6. The drive assembly 1.3 is disposed in the installation space 4.6, and a guide groove 4.5 is formed on the water receiving plate 4.4 for the insertion of the limiting stop 1.4. The guide groove 4.5 can improve the stability of the fixed seat 1.2 during the up and down sliding process.

[0043] Furthermore, the water receiving plate 4.4 forms a water receiving space 5.1, and the surface of the water receiving plate 4.4 forms several water inlet grooves 5.2 that connect to the water receiving space 5.1. The bottom of the water receiving plate 4.4 has a drain hole 5.3, and a removable drain plug 5.4 is inserted into the drain hole 5.3. The water receiving space 5.1 can receive wastewater or coffee liquid on the water receiving part 4, and the drain can be drained through the drain plug 5.4, which improves the convenience of daily cleaning.

[0044] In addition, the water receiving area 1.1 is formed on the water receiving plate 4.4, and a positioning groove 5.5 is formed on the water receiving area 1.1 for the bottom of the cup to be placed into, so that the cup can be placed into the positioning groove 5.5 to ensure the accuracy of the cup placement.

[0045] Preferably, a sealing ring 5.6 is embedded in the groove wall of the guide groove 4.5, and the sealing ring 5.6 abuts against the limiting stop 1.4, which greatly improves the sealing performance between the guide groove 4.5 and the limiting stop 1.4, and prevents external water from entering the installation space 4.6 through the gap between the sealing ring 5.6 and the limiting stop.

[0046] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
