[0026] 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.
[0027] Example: Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this embodiment discloses a coffee machine, including as follows: Figures 3 to 7 The coffee machine shown includes a shower head and a coffee machine body 6. The coffee machine body 6 includes a grinding component 61 for grinding coffee beans and a serving cup 62 for holding coffee. The saucer 1 is detachably mounted in the serving cup 62. The grinding component 61 has a water outlet 611, which is aligned with the inner guide section 2. Water flows through the water outlet 611 to the inner guide section 2 on the saucer 1, and then flows evenly to the serving cup 62 through the main outlet 111.
[0028] like Figures 3 to 7 The coffee machine shower head shown includes a disc body 1. The disc body 1 has an opening 13 and a plurality of inner baffles 11 arranged around the opening 13. An inner guide portion 2 is formed on the outer side of each inner baffle 11. A main flow outlet 111 is provided between two adjacent inner baffles 11, and the main flow outlet 111 is used to connect the opening 13 with the inner guide portion 2. With the structure of this invention, because the inner baffles form an inner guide portion on their outer side, and the main flow outlets are spaced apart on the inner baffles, the main flow outlet 111 connects the opening 13 with the inner guide portion 2. Water flows through the inner guide portion 2 and is guided to the opening, achieving uniform water contact with coffee grounds, improving the coffee brewing effect, and providing a better user experience.
[0029] Furthermore, to ensure more even water flow to the coffee powder, a baffle wall 12 is provided on the outer side of the inner baffle plate 11 on the disc body 1. An inner guide section 2 is formed between the inner baffle plate 11 and the baffle wall 12, and an outer guide section 3 is formed on the outer side of the baffle wall 12. The outer guide section 3 has multiple side flow holes 31, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the opening 13. Because the inner baffle plate and baffle wall divide the disc body into an inner and outer guide section, and the inner baffle plate has spaced main flow outlets while the outer guide section has side flow holes, the water flows evenly down through the spaced main flow outlets on the inner baffle plate. When the water flow in the inner guide section 2 is too large, the water in the inner guide section 2 overflows through the baffle wall 12 into the outer guide section, and then is discharged through the side flow holes on the outer guide section, achieving even water flow to the coffee powder. The baffle wall 12 is an integrally formed annular wall.
[0030] Furthermore, to ensure smooth drainage even when the water flow is excessive, the main outlet 111 includes an upper end 1111 and a lower end 1112. The width of the opening at the upper end 1111 gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the minimum width of the opening at the upper end 1111 is less than or equal to the width of the opening at the lower end 1112. When the water flow is low, the narrow space at the lower end 1111 restricts the water flow. When the water flow exceeds the lower end of the main outlet, the wider space at the upper end increases the water throughput. This makes the water flow easier to drain and the drainage more even.
[0031] As a specific implementation and not a limitation, in order to achieve better drainage effect, the inner guide section 2 is provided with a main flow channel 21 that corresponds one-to-one with and is connected to the main flow outlet 111. The bottom of the plate body 1 is provided with a guide outlet 112, and multiple guide outlets are distributed around the periphery of the opening 13. The guide outlet 112, the main flow outlet 111, and the main flow channel 21 together form a guide channel 4. The main water channel 21 is a groove set in the inner guide section, and the depth of the end near the main water outlet 111 is shallower than the depth of the end away from the main water outlet 111. The width gradually decreases from the outer side to the inner side. With this structure, when draining, the water flow is more likely to flow along the main water channel 21 to the main water outlet 111, and the drainage effect is better. The guide channel 4 can better guide the water flow and prevent the water flow from spreading to the surface of the plate during the discharge process. When the water flow gathers at the guide outlet 112 after passing through the guide channel 4, the water will gather at the protrusion 1121 due to the surface tension and will no longer spread to the outer surface of the plate, thus accurately positioning the water outlet.
[0032] Furthermore, to facilitate the smooth flow of excessive water from the inner guide section 2 to the outer guide section 3, the height of the barrier wall 12 is higher than the highest point of the lower end 1111 of the main flow and lower than the highest point of the upper end 1112 of the main flow. When the water flow is too large, it will overflow through the barrier wall 12 into the outer guide section. This prevents excessive water from overflowing through the inner baffle plate 12, thus avoiding uncertainty in the water flow direction.
[0033] As a specific implementation and not a limitation, in order to ensure that the water flowing out of the side flow holes 31 flows out in a regular manner, a guide ring 5 is provided at the bottom of the disc body 1. The guide ring 5 is located inside the distribution direction of the multiple side flow holes 31, and a flow-gathering part 51 is provided on the guide ring 5 at intervals. When a small amount of water overflows from the side flow holes, due to the surface tension and gravity of the water, the water will flow along the outer surface of the disc body towards the lowest point in the center direction; due to the obstruction of the guide ring 5, the water flow will flow along the guide ring 5 under the influence of surface tension, and under the influence of gravity, when enough water accumulates on the flow-gathering part 51, it will detach from the surface of the disc body 1 and fall off.
[0034] The specific working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0035] The water from the coffee machine flows through the outlet 611 to the inner guide section 2 on the cup body. The water then flows through the main water channel 21 on the inner guide section 2 to the main outlet 111. Since multiple main outlets 111 are spaced apart on the inner baffle plate 11, the water flows evenly from the opening 13 into the cup 62 through these outlets, ensuring that water flows out from the main outlets 111. When there is too much water on the inner baffle plate 11, the water will overflow the barrier wall 12 and flow towards the outer guide section 3. The outer guide section 3 is provided with side flow holes 31, through which the water flows... The water flows evenly from the side outlet to the serving cup 61. The bottom of the plate 1 is provided with a guide ring 5, which has a flow-gathering part 51. When a small amount of water overflows from the side outlet, due to the surface tension and gravity of the water, the water will flow along the outer surface of the plate towards the lowest point in the center. Due to the obstruction of the guide ring, the water will flow along the guide ring under the influence of surface tension. Due to gravity, when enough water accumulates on the flow-gathering part 51, it will fall off the surface of the plate 1 and flow evenly into the serving cup 62, ensuring that the water drips from the flow-gathering part 51 and comes into even contact with the coffee powder.
[0036] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
