Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities technology, and more specifically, to an auxiliary device for a reusable coffee capsule cup. Background Technology

[0002] Coffee capsules, as an important medium for modern coffee consumption, preserve coffee flavor and extend shelf life by sealing ground coffee powder in an inert gas environment. However, their single-use nature brings increasingly prominent economic and environmental problems. Currently, commercially available coffee capsules are made of aluminum-plastic composite material. Although the capsule body remains intact during extraction, the aluminum foil seal designed to ensure airtightness is damaged after high-temperature, high-pressure puncture. This results in each capsule, costing 1.2-10 yuan, being usable only once, causing significant resource waste. This contradiction has spurred the development of reusable coffee capsules, the core of which lies in breaking through the technological constraints of traditional single-use capsules. The auxiliary equipment for reusable coffee capsules provided by this invention can efficiently apply the film, compact the coffee powder, precisely cut, and ensure the airtightness of the film.

[0045] Figure 1 An auxiliary device for a reusable coffee capsule cup is provided, comprising: a base 1; a tamping unit, the tamping unit including a capsule cup slot 20 disposed on the base 1, a funnel 21 detachably connected to the capsule cup slot 20, and a tamping cylinder 22 for tamping coffee powder; a pressing unit; and a cutting unit, such as... Figure 4-5 As shown, the cutting unit includes a cutting body 30 and a plurality of cutting teeth 31 extending away from the cutting body 30 and spaced apart. Each cutting tooth 31 has a tip for piercing the sealing membrane connected to the capsule cup. The cutting teeth 31 are arranged on the edge of a circle, allowing the user to manually rotate the cutting unit or capsule cup after piercing the sealing membrane to create a circular notch in the sealing membrane. Alternatively, the user can mount the cutting unit on the base 1 and create a circular notch in the sealing membrane by rotating the capsule cup.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, one or more capsule cup slots 20 can be provided on the base 1. Correspondingly, multiple funnels 21 and powder pressing cylinders 22 can also be provided.

[0047] The film-pressing unit is used to press a new sealing film onto the capsule cup after the original sealing film has been removed. For example... Figure 1 and 3 As shown, the film pressing unit may include a first film pressing structure 41 disposed on the base 1 and a second film pressing structure 42 disposed on the funnel 21 and matched with the first film pressing structure 41. Figure 1As shown, the edge of the capsule cup groove 20 is circular, and the first pressing structure 41 is arranged around the capsule cup groove 20. During the pressing process, the capsule cup is first placed in the capsule cup groove 20, and then a sealing film is placed on the opening of the capsule cup groove 20. At this time, the sealing film covers the first pressing structure 41 and the capsule cup groove 20. Then, by installing and pressing the funnel 21, the sealing film is pressed onto the capsule cup by the second pressing structure 42 of the funnel 21.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the first pressure film structure 41 includes a first limiting groove 410 and a first convex surface 411 extending away from the base 1. Figure 3 As shown, the second pressure film structure 42 includes a first limiting wing 420 that matches the first limiting groove 410 and a second convex surface 421 that is disposed opposite to the first convex surface 411.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the funnel 21 also includes a first opening 211 and a second opening 212 disposed opposite to the first opening 211. The first opening 211 and the second opening 212 are in communication with the capsule cup groove 20. The inner diameter of the first opening 211 is larger than the inner diameter of the second opening 212.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, the powder pressing cylinder 22 includes a powder pressing plane 220 and a limiting flange 221. The diameter of the powder pressing plane 220 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second opening 212. The diameter of the limiting flange 221 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first opening 211 and larger than the inner diameter of the second opening 212. In one embodiment, the difference between the diameter of the powder pressing plane 220 and the inner diameter of the second opening 212 is in the range of 1-3 mm.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the second opening 212 is circular, and the second pressing structure 42 is arranged around the second opening 212.

[0052] like Figure 5 and 6 As shown, the cutting body 30 includes a second limiting wing 300 and a first clearance groove 301. The first limiting groove 410 matches the second limiting wing 300, and the first convex surface 411 matches the first clearance groove 301. The cutting unit also includes a plurality of spaced positioning protrusions 32, which are arranged on the edge of the same circle. The plurality of positioning protrusions 32 are used to position the sealing film and restrict its movement, making it easy for the user to quickly position the capsule cup whose sealing film needs to be removed onto the cutting unit. When the user needs to cut the sealing film, the sealing film of the capsule cup needs to be placed on the cutting body 30. By setting multiple positioning protrusions 32, the user can quickly find the position to place the sealing film.

[0053] like Figure 1As shown, a first positioning post 4100 is also provided within the first limiting groove 410. (As indicated...) Figure 6 As shown, the second limiting wing 300 is also provided with a first positioning hole 3000 that matches the first positioning post 4100. When the user installs the cutting unit on the base 1, the first positioning post 4100 is used to restrict the cutting unit from rotating.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, the base 1 is provided with a storage groove 10 for accommodating the cutting unit, and the storage groove 10 can be disposed at the bottom of the base 1. The storage groove 10 is provided with a third convex surface 100 and a first clearance hole 101. Figure 5 As shown, the cutting unit is provided with a first groove 33 that matches the third convex surface 100. The receiving groove 10 is provided with a magnet, which is used to attract the third convex surface 100 and the first groove 33 together.

[0055] The operating procedure for this auxiliary device is as follows:

[0056] First, install the cutting unit on the base 1, then install the capsule cup with the sealing film on the cutting unit and rotate the capsule cup one round until the sealing film is cut, then discard the coffee powder inside the capsule cup;

[0057] After placing the clean capsule cup into the capsule cup slot 20, install the funnel 21 on the base 1 and pour the coffee powder into the capsule cup through the funnel 21.

[0058] Install the tamping cylinder 22 and press it down to compact the coffee powder in the capsule cup, then remove the tamping cylinder 22 and the funnel 21;

[0059] Apply a sealing film to the opening edge of the capsule cup and install the funnel 21. Press the funnel 21 to press the sealing film tightly onto the capsule cup. At this point, the capsule cup can be removed for making coffee.

[0060] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
