Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee machine technology, and in particular to a coffee machine water tank with water level detection. Background Technology

[0002] With the fast pace of life and increased work efficiency, coffee has gradually become a part of people's work. Nowadays, there are often coffee machine lounges in studios. Most coffee machines on the market use boilers for heating, which requires precise control of the water level. If the water level is too low, steam will fill the upper surface of the water tank after heating, and the pressure will be too high. If the water level is lower than the heating element, it will cause the heating element to burn dry, which will damage the heater and create a safety hazard. Therefore, the water level in the tank needs to be maintained at a certain normal level. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the technology.

[0004] 1. The problem of the water level in the coffee machine's heating water tank being unmonitorable;

[0005] 2. The need for visual monitoring of the coffee machine's heating water tank.

[0006] 3. If the water level inside the heating tank is too high or too low, it will affect the heating system and cause insufficient boiling water for cooking due to the inability to accurately judge the water level in the tank.

[0007] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0008] A coffee machine water tank with water level detection includes a coffee machine body, a control panel on the upper side of the coffee machine body, a heating water tank inside the coffee machine body, a water outlet at the upper end of the heating water tank, a water inlet at the lower end of the heating water tank, a water level detection device fixedly connected to one side wall inside the heating water tank, a water level probe inserted into the upper part of the inside of the heating water tank, and a heating device on one side of the lower part of the inside of the heating water tank.

[0009] Furthermore, the water level detection device includes a detection water pipe with an inlet on one side of its lower end. A float ball is installed inside the detection water pipe, and a sensor is installed inside the float ball. A water level gauge counter is installed on the outer wall of the heating water tank corresponding to the detection water pipe. Several second sensors are installed on the water level gauge counter, and an output line is installed at the upper end of the water level gauge counter. The first sensor provides a signal to the water level gauge counter through mutual sensing between the water level rise and fall and the second sensors, and then transmits the signal to the control panel through the output line.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the heating water tank is provided with several tank support feet, which can better fix the heating water tank inside the coffee machine.

[0011] Furthermore, coffee machine support columns are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the main body of the coffee machine.

[0012] Furthermore, the first sensor and the second sensor work together to sense each other, and the output line is connected to the control panel, which can effectively record the water level.

[0013] Furthermore, the float's external dimensions are larger than the inlet size. The float floats and rises and falls within the detection water pipe. The larger size of the float ensures that the float remains sealed inside the pipe and does not deviate from its position.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. No visual inspection is required. The sensor transmits the water level in the tank to the control panel, enabling more intelligent monitoring of the water level and reducing the problem of insufficient water when brewing more coffee cups due to the inability to determine the water level in the tank.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Combination Figure 1-2As shown, the coffee machine includes a main body 1, a control panel 2 is provided on the output end of the upper side of the main body 1, a heating water tank 3 is provided inside the main body 1, a water outlet 4 is provided at the upper end of the heating water tank 3, a water inlet 5 is provided at the lower end of the heating water tank 3, a water level detection device 6 is fixedly connected to one side wall inside the heating water tank 3, a water level probe 7 is inserted into the upper end inside the heating water tank 3, and a heating device 8 is provided on one side of the lower end inside the heating water tank 3.

[0021] The water level detection device 6 includes a detection water pipe 61 with an inlet 62 at one end of its lower side. A float 63 is installed inside the detection water pipe 61, and a first sensor 64 is installed inside the float 63. A water level gauge counter 65 is installed on the outer wall of the heating water tank 3 corresponding to the detection water pipe 61. Several second sensors 66 are installed on the water level gauge counter 65, and an output line 67 is installed at the upper end of the water level gauge counter 65. The first sensors provide signals to the water level gauge counter through mutual sensing between the water level rise / fall and the second sensors, and then the signals are transmitted to the control system via the output line. On the panel; the bottom of the heating water tank 3 is equipped with several tank support feet 9, which can better fix the heating water tank in the coffee machine body; coffee machine support columns 10 are set at the four corners of the bottom of the coffee machine body 1; the first sensor 64 and the second sensor 66 are paired together to sense each other, and the output line 67 is connected to the control panel 2. The control panel can effectively record the water level; the float ball 63 is larger than the size of the water inlet 62. The float ball floats and rises and falls in the detection water pipe. The size of the float ball is larger than the size of the water inlet, which can ensure that the float ball is sealed in the pipe and will not deviate.

[0022] Working principle: During operation: Water is injected into the water tank through the inlet 5. When the water enters the heating water tank 3, it enters the detection water pipe 61 through the inlet 62. As the water volume continues to increase, the float 63 is lifted by the water and floats in the detection water pipe 61. The first sensor 64 in the float 63 and the second sensor 66 on the outer wall of the heating water tank 3 sense each other and give a signal for recording. Then, the water level in the water tank is fed back to the control panel 2 for display through the output line 67. The water volume in the water tank is regulated by the control panel 2 to maintain the normal water volume in the water tank.
