Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the meaning of "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions; for example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0058] Please see Figures 1 to 9 This utility model provides a frame component and its applicable functional modules and beverage making equipment.

[0059] It should be noted that, for ease of explanation, the following embodiments will use the frame assembly and its applicable functional modules and beverage-making equipment as examples with corresponding vertical, front-back, and left-right directions. The vertical, front-back, and left-right directions are roughly perpendicular to each other. In practical applications, the vertical direction roughly corresponds to the direction of gravity. The front-back and left-right directions are two different directions on the horizontal plane. Furthermore, the front direction of the beverage-making equipment generally refers to the direction it primarily faces towards the user during use.

[0060] In view of the above, the beverage making equipment includes a housing. The housing has a bottom shell 110. The bottom shell 110 is generally a shell plate structure located at the lower end of the housing. The bottom shell 110 may extend along a horizontal plane. Alternatively, the bottom shell 110 may form a certain inclined angle with respect to the horizontal plane.

[0061] The upper end plate of the bottom shell 110 is partially recessed to form a countersunk hole 111. The countersunk hole 111 can be a through hole structure that penetrates the bottom shell 110 vertically. Alternatively, the countersunk hole 111 can be a blind hole structure or a groove structure that does not penetrate the lower end plate of the bottom shell 110. The opening area of ​​the countersunk hole 111 is at least not less than the area at the corresponding position of the frame assembly to ensure that the frame assembly can be recessed and installed in the countersunk hole 111 at least at its bottom end.

[0062] There are no restrictions on the specific type of beverage preparation equipment. Beverage preparation equipment can be, but is not limited to, a brewing machine with only brewing function, a grinder with only grinding function, or a fully automatic beverage blender that combines brewing and grinding functions. Therefore, the functional mechanism 300 in the functional module can be, but is not limited to, a grinding mechanism, a brewing mechanism, a hot water boiler assembly, a steam boiler assembly, etc.

[0063] The mounting frame 210 is primarily used for assembling the functional components it carries into the housing. Specifically, it is recessed and assembled into the countersunk hole 111 of the bottom housing 110. Therefore, the frame assembly specifically includes the mounting frame 210 and the support member 220.

[0064] Mounting frame 210 provides mounting for functional mechanism 300. Mounting frame 210 includes side shell plate 211. Support member 220 includes a protruding section 221 extending from side shell plate 211.

[0065] The mounting frame 210 is recessed into the countersunk hole 111 at least at its bottom end. At least the protruding section 221 is supported on the plate surface of the bottom shell 110.

[0066] In the technical solution provided by this utility model, at least the bottom end of the frame assembly can be recessed and installed in the countersunk hole 111 directly in the bottom shell 110 of the housing. In this way, on the one hand, the countersunk hole 111 can be used to limit the circumferential position of the frame assembly, which helps to achieve quick positioning of the frame assembly in the bottom shell 110; on the other hand, the frame assembly is partially housed in the countersunk hole 111, which helps to reduce the vertical assembly space occupied by the frame assembly.

[0067] Furthermore, the extended section 221 and the mounting frame 210 remain connected and fixed, and are supported on the plate surface of the bottom shell 110, which helps to securely place the frame assembly on the bottom shell 110, enabling convenient assembly of the frame assembly on the bottom shell 110.

[0068] Furthermore, the placement of the support member 220 has virtually no impact on the overall structure of the frame assembly. This allows for sufficient operational and assembly space for flexible selection, even if subsequent frame assemblies require detachable connection methods such as screw fastening to strengthen the connection with the housing.

[0069] The side shell plate 211 of the mounting frame 210 can be located on any side of the mounting frame 210. That is, it can be located on the front, rear, left, and right sides of the mounting frame 210. And the number of side shell plates 211 can be one or at least two.

[0070] The protruding section 221 protrudes from the side shell plate 211. Specifically, at least the protruding section 221 of the support member 220 may be integrally formed with the side shell plate 211. Alternatively, the support member 220 and the side shell plate 211 may be detachably or non-detachably connected after being separately formed.

[0071] Specifically, the protruding section 221 and the side shell plate 211 are detachably connected after being separately formed. Specifically, the side shell plate 211 may have a mounting hole 214. The support member 220 is installed at the mounting hole 214. The protruding section 221 extends outward from within the mounting frame 210.

[0072] When the number of side shell plates 211 is set to at least two, each side shell plate 211 has at least one mounting hole 214. At least two extension sections 221 of the support member 220 are provided, corresponding one-to-one with each side shell plate 211. This ensures that each side shell plate 211 has at least one extension section 221. Especially when the extension sections 221 are distributed on each side of the mounting frame 210, they are equivalent to being spaced circumferentially along the countersunk holes 111. This helps ensure stable support when the mounting frame 210 / functional module is recessed and installed at the countersunk holes 111.

[0073] It should be noted that the vertical height of each of the aforementioned protruding sections 221 (e.g., the distance from the same reference surface at the bottom of the mounting frame 210) is adapted to the surface of the bottom shell 110 at its location. For example, when the surface of the bottom shell 110 is a flat surface of equal height at least around the countersunk hole 111, the heights of each protruding section 221 are approximately the same. However, when the surface of the bottom shell 110 around the countersunk hole 111 is partially designed as a concave-convex surface, the height of the corresponding protruding section 221 needs to be adjusted appropriately.

[0074] For ease of understanding, the following will all use the following characters: Figures 1 to 9 The following description uses the side shell plate 211, located on the left side of the mounting frame 210, as an example:

[0075] When the support member 220 is installed in the mounting hole 214 of the side shell plate 211, the two can be connected and fixed in a constant installation position. Alternatively, the support member 220 and the side shell plate 211 can be connected in a movable and adjustable manner according to actual needs. The direction of this movable adjustment is not limited; it can be, but is not limited to, a front-to-back adjustment, so that the support position of the protruding section 221 on the plate surface of the bottom shell 110 is different during its movement. Alternatively, it can be a left-to-right adjustment, so that the support area of ​​the protruding section 221 on the plate surface of the bottom shell 110 is different during its movement. Alternatively, it can be a vertical adjustment, so that the sinking depth of the mounting frame 210 is different during its movement.

[0076] However, it should be noted that the aforementioned adjustments are primarily made before the operation of lowering the mounting frame 210 into the countersunk hole 111 is performed. After the operation of lowering the mounting frame 210 into the countersunk hole 111 is performed, the mounting position of the protruding section 221 relative to the side shell plate 211 remains fixed.

[0077] In one embodiment, the mounting hole 214 extends elongatedly along the edge of the countersunk hole 111 on the adjacent side, and the protruding section 221 is adapted to the shape and size of the mounting hole 214. For example... Figures 1 to 9 As shown, when the side shell plate 211 extends in the front-rear direction, the edge of the countersunk hole 111 on its adjacent side also extends in the front-rear direction. At this time, the mounting hole 214 can be extended in a long shape in the front-rear direction to increase the support area between the protruding section 221 and the plate surface of the bottom shell 110, which is more conducive to the stable support of the frame assembly on the bottom shell 110.

[0078] The protruding section 221 can be a solid structure. Alternatively, at least a portion of the protruding section 221 can be hollowed out laterally. In this way, the assembly relationship between the protruding section 221 and the mounting hole 214 is not affected, and the material used for the protruding section 221 can be minimized.

[0079] The support member 220 also includes an extension section 222 extending into the mounting frame 210. The lateral projected area of ​​the extension section 222 is at least larger than the area of ​​the inner end opening of the mounting hole 214. That is, at least a portion of the volume of the extension section 222 is larger than the inner end opening of the mounting hole 214. In this way, the inner side surface of the side shell plate 211 located on the periphery of the inner end opening of the mounting hole 214 effectively forms a stop for the extension section 222, preventing the support member 220 from dislodging outward through the mounting hole 214.

[0080] It should be noted that the mounting frame 210 generally encloses and defines a mounting cavity by its shell plate structure. The inner side of the side shell plate 211 is located within the mounting cavity. Conversely, the outer side of the side shell plate 211 is located outside the mounting cavity.

[0081] If at least the protruding section 221 is made of a rigid material, the outer dimension of the protruding section 221 can be set not to exceed the inner dimension of the mounting hole 214, thereby ensuring that the support member 220 can be installed into the mounting hole 214 from the inside out. Furthermore, it is preferable to set the outer dimension of the protruding section 221 to be approximately equal to the inner dimension of the mounting hole 214, which helps to reduce or avoid the formation of assembly gaps between the outer wall of the protruding section 221 and the wall of the mounting hole 214.

[0082] If at least the protruding section 221 is made of an elastic material, its outer dimensions can be appropriately larger than the inner dimensions of the mounting hole 214. In this way, when the operating support 220 is installed into the mounting hole 214 from the inside out, the protruding section 221 is first deformed by the mounting hole 214, ensuring smooth insertion. Then, after the protruding section 221 extends into the mounting hole 214, it returns to its original shape. Since the outer dimensions of the protruding section 221 are larger than the inner dimensions of the mounting hole 214, the outer surface of the side shell plate 211, located on the periphery of the outer end opening of the mounting hole 214, effectively acts as a stop for the protruding section 221, preventing the support 220 from dislodging inward through the mounting hole 214.

[0083] After the support member 220 is installed into the mounting hole 214, an extension section 222 can be provided to laterally abut against the inner surface of the side shell plate 211, and the shape of the inner surface of the side shell plate 211 should be adapted to fit. This ensures that the extension section 222 and the inner surface of the side shell plate 211 fit as closely as possible. The extension section 222 effectively strengthens the inner side of the side shell plate 211.

[0084] The bottom end of the side shell plate 211 is bent inward to form a flange 211c. The extended section 222 is supported and fixed on the flange 211c, which helps to provide upward structural support for the support member 220 and prevents the support member 220 from breaking due to downward external force. The flange 211c and the side shell plate 211 can be integrally formed. Alternatively, the flange 211c and the side shell plate 211 can be formed separately and then detachably or non-detachably connected.

[0085] In the direction near the flange 211c, the side surface of the extension section 222 away from the side shell plate 211 extends at an angle that gradually deviates from the side shell plate 211. In this way, the extension section 222 can be arranged with a gradually increasing thickness from top to bottom, and a larger thickness can be formed in its lower part, thereby forming a larger support area between the extension section 222 and the flange 211c.

[0086] Similarly, the extension section 222 can be a solid structure. Alternatively, the extension section 222 can be configured as a cover. The open end of the cover faces the inner surface of the side shell plate 211 and abuts against the inner surface of the side shell plate 211. The extension section 221 extends and protrudes from the inside of the cover. At least one reinforcing rib 223 is provided on the inside of the cover. The reinforcing rib 223 connects the extension section 222 and the extension section 221. The reinforcing rib 223 helps to enhance the structural strength between the extension section 222 and the extension section 221.

[0087] The direction of extension of the reinforcing rib 223 is not limited; it can extend in any suitable direction as needed. The number of reinforcing ribs 223 is also not limited; one or at least two can be used as needed.

[0088] To enhance the connection strength between the support member 220 and the side shell plate 211, the support member 220 is further connected and fixed to the side shell plate 211 via a detachable connector. The detachable connector can be, but is not limited to, screws and threaded holes for threaded connection and fixation; or clips and snap holes for snap-fit ​​connection and fixation; or magnetic components and magnetically engaging components for magnetic fixation, etc.

[0089] The aforementioned insertion section 222 and extension section 221 can be integrally formed. Alternatively, the insertion section 222 and extension section 221 can be formed separately and then detachably or non-detachably connected.

[0090] Based on one or more of the above embodiments, the mounting frame 210 can be directly assembled from top to bottom to the countersunk hole 111.

[0091] Alternatively, the mounting frame 210 can slide from front to back along the bottom shell 110 to approach the countersunk hole 111 and then be lowered and installed at the countersunk hole 111.

[0092] Based on this, the mounting frame 210 includes a front shell plate 212 and two side shell plates 211 disposed on both sides of the front shell plate 212. The side shell plates 211 are provided with mounting holes 214.

[0093] The support member 220 is installed at the mounting hole 214 and extends outward from the mounting frame 210 at least partially to form the protruding section 221.

[0094] During the installation of the mounting frame 210 into the countersunk hole 111 from front to back, the protruding section 221 slides along the plate surface of the bottom shell 110. After installation, the protruding section 221 is supported on the plate surface of the bottom shell 110.

[0095] That is, the protruding section 221 of the support member 220 has two functions. One is that during the operation of installing the mounting frame 210 from front to back into the countersunk hole 111, it acts as a sliding guide by slidingly connecting with the plate surface of the bottom shell 110. This helps to accurately guide the mounting frame 210 close to the countersunk hole 111. The other function, as described above, is that after the mounting frame 210 is installed from front to back into the countersunk hole 111, it can be stably supported on the bottom shell 110 by supporting it on the plate surface of the bottom shell 110. This helps to maintain a stable assembly between the mounting frame 210 / functional module and the bottom shell 110.

[0096] The aforementioned front shell plate 212 can be directly configured to be fixedly connected to at least one side shell plate 211 in a constant position. Alternatively, the aforementioned front shell plate 212 can be movably configured relative to the side shell plates 211. During the movement of the front shell plate 212, it can be in an open state, forming an opening on the front side of the mounting frame 210, and in a closed state, closing the opening. When the front shell plate 212 is in the open state, the functional mechanism 300 assembled into the mounting frame 210 can be removed outwards through the opening. When the front shell plate 212 is in the closed state, the shell forms a forward stop limiting the functional mechanism 300 assembled into the mounting frame 210, thereby protecting the functional mechanism 300.

[0097] The front shell panel 212 defines a locking portion 215. After the front shell panel 212 is moved to the closed state, the locking portion 215 and the mating portion 112 provided at the bottom shell 110 are locked and fixed. In this way, the closed state of the front shell panel 212 can be locked, preventing the front shell panel 212 from moving in the opposite direction to the open state under the accidental operation of external force. And after the locking portion 215 and the mating portion 112 are unlocked and separated, the front shell panel 212 can be moved to the open state.

[0098] The specific design of the locking part 215 and the mating part 112 is not limited, and can be, but is not limited to, for example Figures 1 to 9The combination shown is a hook and a slot. Alternatively, it could be a combination of a magnetic attractant and a magnetic mating component. Or, for example, a combination of a vacuum attractant and an adsorption mating component, etc.

[0099] The locking portion 215 can be directly formed on the front side of the side shell plate 211, that is, at the opening. Alternatively, in one embodiment, the front shell plate 212 includes a main plate body 212a located on the front side of the mounting frame 210, and bent plate bodies 212b extending rearward from both ends of the main plate body 212a. The bent plate bodies 212b are stacked on the side plate surface of the side shell plate 211. The bent plate body 212b is provided with the locking portion 215. Thus, the locking portion 215 is formed on the left and / or right side of the opening. This ensures that the assembly between the locking portion 215 and the mating portion 112 does not occupy space in the opening, and does not interfere with the movement of the functional mechanism 300.

[0100] The side shell plate 211 includes a first plate segment 211a and a second plate segment 211b arranged sequentially from front to back. The first plate segment 211a and the second plate segment 211b can be integrally formed. Alternatively, the first plate segment 211a and the second plate segment 211b can be formed separately and then detachably or non-detachably connected to obtain the plate.

[0101] The bottom end of the first plate segment 211a is higher than the bottom end of the second plate segment 211b. That is, the bottom end of the mounting frame 210 can form an inward space corresponding to the first plate segment 211a. The bottom end of the first plate segment 211a can be arranged to extend in the front-to-back direction. This can create a stepped decrease in height difference between the bottom ends of the first plate segment 211a and the second plate segment 211b, or the bottom end of the first plate segment 211a can extend downward gradually from front to back, thus creating a smooth transition in the height difference between the bottom ends of the first plate segment 211a and the second plate segment 211b.

[0102] The bent plate 212b is stacked on top of the first plate segment 211a. The locking part 215 protrudes downward from the bottom end of the first plate segment 211a but does not protrude from the bottom end of the second plate segment 211b. That is, the locking part 215 is equivalent to being housed within the recessed space formed at the bottom end of the mounting frame 210 corresponding to the first plate segment 211a. This prevents the locking part 215 from forming an outward protruding structure at the bottom end of the mounting frame 210, which helps to avoid structural interference between the locking part 215 and the surrounding components during the movement of the mounting frame 210.

[0103] The protruding section 221 is located at the second plate section 211b. Of course, depending on actual needs, the protruding section 221 can also partially extend to the first plate. The support member 220 also includes an insert section 222 extending into the mounting frame 210. The insert section 222 is located at the second plate section 211b and partially extends forward to the first plate section 211a. The insert section 222 is mainly located at the second plate section 211b, providing sufficient structural reinforcement for the protruding section 221 at the second plate section 211b. Furthermore, by partially extending the insert section 222 to the first plate section 211a, it is also possible for the insert section 222 to provide some structural reinforcement to the first plate section 211a.

[0104] The mounting frame 210 also includes a rear shell plate 213. The rear shell plate 213 is provided with a connecting structure 230. During the process of installing the mounting frame 210 from front to back into the countersunk hole 111, the connecting structure 230 is driven to connect and fix with the mating structure located at the rear of the mounting frame 210. In this way, the mating operation of the connecting structure 230 and the mating structure at the rear shell plate 213 can be performed simultaneously with the assembly operation of the mounting frame 210, which has the characteristics of simple operation.

[0105] There are no restrictions on the types of connection structure 230 and docking structure:

[0106] The connection structure 230 and the mating structure can be electrical connectors. For example, one of the connection structure 230 and the mating structure is a plug, and the other is a socket.

[0107] Alternatively, the connecting structure 230 and the docking structure can be connectors used for pipes. For example, the connecting structure 230 and the docking structure are matching pipe fittings. Especially when the functional components installed on the frame assembly are brewing mechanisms, hot water boiler assemblies, or steam boiler assemblies, the connecting structure 230 and the docking structure can achieve, for example, a water circuit connection to enable liquid inlet and / or outlet.

[0108] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
