[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of grinding components for mass-market coffee machines, and in particular to a clog-resistant grinding component for mass-market coffee machines. Background Technology
[0002] Mass-market coffee machines are typically used in commercial settings. The core of their grinding components is responsible for grinding coffee beans into coffee powder suitable for extraction. Its composition directly affects the grinding quality. Coffee beans in the bean hopper enter the grinding chamber, which is composed of a burr. The moving blades in the burr are driven by a motor and work in conjunction with the fixed blades to grind the coffee beans.
[0003] In existing technology, coffee beans in the bean hopper may become damp and clump together, causing them to clog the junction between the bean hopper and the grinding chamber. This prevents the coffee beans from falling smoothly, resulting in the grinder running idle without producing any coffee powder. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clog-resistant grinding component for a bulk coffee machine, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art where coffee beans get clogged at the junction between the bean hopper and the grinding chamber, causing the coffee beans to be unable to fall smoothly and the grinder to run empty without producing any powder.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: It includes a cutter disc mechanism, comprising a grinding frame, a fixed flat blade, a movable flat blade, and a drive motor. An anti-blocking mechanism is provided on the top of the cutter disc mechanism, comprising a connecting rod, a rotating rod, and a soft brush. A junction mechanism is provided on the top of the cutter disc mechanism, comprising a fixing frame, a junction groove, a positioning groove, a stabilizing opening, a recess, a quick-release shell, a positioning plate, and a stabilizing rubber block.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the grinding frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed flat blade, and the inner wall of the grinding frame is movably connected to the outer wall of the movable flat blade.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the moving flat blade is located below the fixed flat blade, and the bottom end of the moving flat blade is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor via a coupling.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the moving flat blade is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod, and the outer wall of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating rod, and the outer wall of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the soft brush.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the grinding frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame, and the fixed frame has an opening for a joint groove inside.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, positioning grooves are provided on both sides of the top of the inner wall of the junction groove, and a stabilizing opening is provided at the bottom of the positioning groove.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a groove is provided on one side of the positioning groove, and the inner wall of the junction groove is movably connected to the outer wall of the quick-release shell.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the top two sides of the quick-release shell are fixedly connected to one side of the positioning plate, the bottom of the positioning plate is fixedly connected to the top of the stabilizing rubber block, the outer wall of the positioning plate is movably connected to the inner wall of the positioning groove, and the outer wall of the stabilizing rubber block is movably connected to the inner wall of the stabilizing port.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. In this utility model, the rotating flat blade drives the connecting rod to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod then drives the soft brush to stir the coffee beans. When the coffee beans become clogged, the brush clears the blockage, reducing the likelihood of clogs at the junction and increasing the device's anti-clogging effect.
[0015] 2. In order to avoid the clumping and deterioration of residual debris on the outer wall of the quick-release shell, which would affect the subsequent grinding quality, this utility model removes the bean hopper on top of the device, then snaps on the positioning plate, causing the positioning plate and stabilizing rubber block to move out from the inside of the positioning groove and stabilizing opening, thereby removing the quick-release shell and cleaning its inner wall. The cleaned quick-release shell is then positioned inside the transfer groove by the positioning plate and stabilizing rubber block. Removing and cleaning the quick-release shell reduces the impact of residue clumping and deterioration on the grinding of coffee beans. Attached Figure Description

[0026] In one embodiment, the movable flat blade 103 is located below the fixed flat blade 102, and the bottom end of the movable flat blade 103 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 104 via a coupling.
[0027] Specifically: The drive motor 104 drives the moving flat blade 103 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod 201 to rotate, and the rotation of the connecting rod 201 drives the rotating rod 202 to rotate.
[0028] In one embodiment, the top of the movable flat blade 103 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 201, and the outer wall of the connecting rod 201 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating rod 202, and the outer wall of the rotating rod 202 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the soft brush 203.
[0029] Specifically: The rotating rod 202 rotates to drive the soft brush 203 to stir the coffee beans. When the coffee beans are clogged, the brush clears the blockage, reducing the phenomenon of coffee beans clogging the junction and increasing the anti-clogging effect of the device.
[0030] In one embodiment, the top of the grinding frame 101 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing frame 301, and the fixing frame 301 has an interfacing groove 302 inside.
[0031] Specifically, the design of the transfer groove 302 facilitates the stability and placement of the quick-release housing 306, and prevents residues from adhering to the inside of the transfer groove 302.
[0032] In one embodiment, positioning grooves 303 are provided on both sides of the top of the inner wall of the junction groove 302, and a stabilizing opening 304 is provided at the bottom of the positioning groove 303.
[0033] Specifically: the stabilizing rubber block 308 enters the interior of the stabilizing port 304, thereby stabilizing the quick-release shell 306. The positioning plate 307 is placed inside the positioning groove 303, thus ensuring the positioning effect of the quick-release shell 306.
[0034] In one embodiment, a groove 305 is provided on one side of the positioning groove 303, and the inner wall of the junction groove 302 is movably connected to the outer wall of the quick-release housing 306.
[0035] Specifically: the groove 305 facilitates the snapping of the positioning plate 307, thereby facilitating the removal of the quick-release cover 306.

[0038] Working principle: Coffee beans inside the bean hopper first enter the transfer tank 302. The drive motor 104 is activated, causing the movable flat blade 103 to rotate. The fixed flat blade 102 and the movable flat blade 103 work together to grind the coffee beans. The rotation of the movable flat blade 103 drives the connecting rod 201 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod 202. The rotating rod 202 then drives the soft brush 203 to stir the coffee beans. When coffee beans become clogged, the brush clears the blockage. The grinding process is then completed by the fixed flat blade 102 and the movable flat blade 103. During this process, some of the generated debris will remain inside the quick-release shell 306. To prevent the debris remaining on the outer wall of the quick-release shell 306 from clumping and deteriorating, thus affecting the subsequent processing quality, the bean hopper above the device is removed, and then the positioning plate 307 is engaged, causing the positioning plate 307 and the stabilizing rubber block 308 to move out from inside the positioning groove 303 and the stabilizing port 304, thereby removing the quick-release shell 306 and cleaning its inner wall. The cleaned quick-release shell 306 is then positioned by the positioning plate 307 and the stabilizing rubber block 308 and placed inside the transfer groove 302.
