Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee roasting machine technology, and more specifically, to an automatic discharging device for a coffee roasting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Coffee bean roasters are used to roast raw coffee beans to produce unique flavors and textures. The roasting process uses high temperatures to evaporate the moisture contained in the raw coffee beans. As the moisture gradually evaporates, the coffee beans gradually caramelize and turn brown. People have increasingly higher requirements for the roasting quality and flavor of coffee beans. There are dozens of commonly used coffee roasting curves in the world to maintain the quality and flavor of coffee beans.

[0003] However, existing coffee roasters come in various types. For example, utility model patent CN205695561U relates to a premixed coffee bean roaster.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments. The present invention provides the following embodiments.

[0026] like Figure 1As shown, it is a structural schematic diagram of the automatic discharging device of the coffee roaster in this embodiment. The automatic discharging device in this embodiment includes a discharging port 3, which is set on the roaster body 1. A baffle plate 2 is embedded inside the discharging port 3, and the baffle plate 2 is arc-shaped. The roaster body 1 adopts the existing drum roaster. The roaster body 1 is designed for the gentle roasting of specialty coffee and espresso. The roasting drum is a non-perforated double layer and has a special paddle mechanism built in, so as to evenly mix the coffee beans during the roasting process.

[0027] like Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a mounting bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the baking machine body 1. Two transmission rods 5 are arranged inside the mounting bracket 4 through bearings. The ends of the two transmission rods 5 that are close to each other are fixedly connected to a connecting seat 6, and the connecting seat 6 is fixed to the baffle plate 2. One end of one transmission rod 5 that is away from the connecting seat 6 is fixedly connected to a linkage rod 7, and the linkage rod 7 is located outside the mounting bracket 4. One end of the linkage rod 7 is fixedly connected to a mounting block 8, and the mounting block 8 is located on one side of the mounting bracket 4. A support base 9 is fixedly connected to the baking machine body 1. A telescopic cylinder 10 is installed on the support base 9, and the telescopic cylinder 10 is located on one side of the baking machine body 1. One end of the telescopic cylinder 10 is provided with a first hinge seat 11. One end of the first hinge seat 11 is provided with a connecting rod 12. One end of the connecting rod 12 is provided with a second hinge seat 13, and the second hinge seat 13 is fixed to the mounting block 8. During the coffee bean unloading process, according to the roasting requirements, the telescopic cylinder 10 can be controlled to push the first hinge seat 11 to move. Through the transmission between the first hinge seat 11, the connecting rod 12, and the second hinge seat 13, the mounting block 8 is moved. Utilizing structural linkage, the linkage rod 7 is deflected, and the deflected linkage rod 7 causes the transmission rod 5 to rotate. With the setting of the two connecting seats 6, the baffle plate 2 can be deflected, releasing the sealing effect of the baffle plate 2 on the discharge port 3, allowing the roasted coffee beans to be discharged from the discharge port 3, thus completing the coffee bean unloading. This automatic unloading method replaces manual unloading, reducing the time and labor costs of manual operation and reducing human intervention errors. It helps ensure that each batch of coffee beans achieves the ideal roasting effect, thereby guaranteeing the taste and quality of the roasted coffee beans.

[0028] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, a guide block 14 is fixedly connected to the roasting machine body 1, and the guide block 14 is located below the discharge port 3. The guide block 14 is fixed on the mounting bracket 4. The coffee beans discharged from the discharge port 3 can smoothly slide into the next cooling process after being guided by the guide block 14.

[0029] like Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, a feeding pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the roasting machine body 1, and the feeding pipe 18 is connected to the roasting machine body 1. The feeding pipe 18 is fixed above the sampling spoon 17, and a feeding hopper 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the feeding pipe 18. During the roasting process of coffee beans, coffee bean raw materials are put into the feeding hopper 19. The raw materials will be conveyed through the feeding pipe 18 and enter the roasting machine body 1, where the roasting operation of coffee beans is completed.

[0030] It is worth noting that, in this embodiment, a sampling spoon 17 is inserted inside the roasting machine body 1 and is located above the discharge port 3. The sampling spoon 17 is used to sample and test the coffee beans during the roasting process at any time.

[0031] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a cooling tank 16 is provided on one side of the roasting machine body 1, and the cooling tank 16 is located below the mounting bracket 4. A guide hopper box 15 is fixedly connected to the roasting machine body 1, and the guide hopper box 15 is fixed to the cooling tank 16. The guide hopper box 15 and the cooling tank 16 are connected. The bottom of the mounting bracket 4 can extend into the interior of the guide hopper box 15, so that the guide block 14 is located inside the guide hopper box 15. After the roasted coffee beans are discharged from the outlet 3, the coffee beans will slide along the guide block 14 into the guide hopper box 15, and fall from the guide hopper box 15 into the cooling tank 16. The high-temperature coffee beans will be evenly distributed and fully and quickly cooled in the cooling tank 16, thereby quickly stopping the high-temperature decomposition, locking in the flavor of the coffee beans, and preventing the high temperature inside the coffee beans from continuing to act and burning off the aromatic substances.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
