Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage equipment technology, and in particular to a bean hopper structure and beverage equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As people pursue higher quality and better taste in coffee and other beverages, coffee makers with built-in grinders have become the mainstream. To achieve a better coffee flavor, it may be necessary to grind coffee beans from different origins and with different roasting levels. Therefore, a coffee maker with multiple bean hoppers is required.

[0003] Existing multi-compartment coffee grinders generally use multiple bean compartments of the same size for cost and ease of processing considerations. However, in actual use, customers usually use one type of bean as the main bean and then blend some auxiliary bean types used in relatively small quantities. This means that the main bean compartment needs to be filled with beans frequently. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a bean hopper structure and beverage equipment, which enables the main bean hopper to hold more main bean products and avoids the need for frequent addition of main bean products.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A soybean storage structure, comprising:

[0007] A base, which is fixedly mounted on the grinding device;

[0008] Multiple bean hoppers are provided, each with a feeding port at its bottom that communicates with the grinding device. The multiple bean hoppers are independent of each other and include a main bean hopper and at least one auxiliary bean hopper. The auxiliary bean hopper is connected to the main bean hopper via a mating part. The main bean hopper is detachably mounted on the base and has a first cavity for receiving main materials. The auxiliary bean hopper is detachably mounted on the base and has a second cavity for receiving auxiliary materials. The volume of the first cavity is greater than the volume of the second cavity.

[0009] Furthermore, the mating part includes a protruding part and a recessed part that mate with each other. The protruding part is formed by the side wall of the auxiliary bean bin protruding outward in the radial direction or by the side wall of the main bean bin protruding outward in the radial direction. The recessed part is formed by the side wall of the main bean bin being recessed in the radial direction or by the side wall of the auxiliary bean bin being recessed in the radial direction.

[0010] Furthermore, both the main bean bin and the auxiliary bean bin are rectangular in shape, and the long side of the main bean bin and the long side of the auxiliary bean bin are fitted together, with the fitting part located at the junction of the long side of the main bean bin and the long side of the auxiliary bean bin.

[0011] Furthermore, at least one of the auxiliary bean bins includes a pair of auxiliary bean bins symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main bean bin.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes multiple door assemblies, which are respectively disposed in multiple bean bins to control the opening and closing of the feed inlets of the bean bins.

[0013] Furthermore, the door assembly includes a baffle and a handle connected to the baffle. The baffle is located at the discharge port, and the user can rotate the handle to switch the baffle between an open position and a closed position.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the bean hopper protrudes outward to form a first column, and a first mounting hole is provided on the first column, the handle is adapted to the shape of the first mounting hole, and the handle is at least partially installed in the first mounting hole, and the baffle is fitted to the opening of the first mounting hole.

[0015] Furthermore, the base has a slot. When the baffle is in the open position, the baffle is at least partially located in the slot, and the bean hopper cannot detach from the base. When the baffle is in the closed position, the baffle detaches from the slot, and the bean hopper can detach from the base.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the bean hopper protrudes outward to form a second column, and a feeding channel is provided on the second column, with perforations on the side wall of the feeding channel for the baffle to pass through.

[0017] Furthermore, a limiting block is provided on the side wall of the feeding channel, and a limiting groove is formed on the baffle. When the baffle is in the open position, the limiting block abuts against the first end of the limiting groove; when the baffle is in the closed position, the limiting block abuts against the second end of the limiting groove.

[0018] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the bean hopper is arc-shaped, the feeding channel is located at the lowest point of the bottom wall, and the base has an indented mounting groove that mates with the bottom wall.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver. The bottom wall of the bean hopper is made of a transparent or semi-transparent material, and the infrared transmitter and infrared receiver are located on the outside of the bottom wall and on both sides of the feeding channel, respectively.

[0020] Furthermore, the outer side of the bottom wall is recessed to form a first fixing groove and a second fixing groove, the infrared transmitter is located in the first fixing groove, and the infrared receiver is located in the second fixing groove.

[0021] Furthermore, a positioning contact is provided on the bottom wall of the bean hopper, and a first identification hole and a second identification hole are provided on the baffle. When the baffle is in the open position, the positioning contact engages with the first identification hole; when the baffle is in the closed position, the positioning contact engages with the second identification hole.

[0022] Furthermore, the base is equipped with multiple sensors, and each of the multiple bean hoppers has a magnetic component fixed to its bottom, with each of the multiple sensors corresponding to one of the multiple magnetic components.

[0023] Furthermore, a protective cover is fixed inside the bean hopper. The protective cover is hollow and covers the feed port. A cleaning channel is also provided in the main bean hopper. The cleaning channel is independent of the first cavity, and the outlet of the cleaning channel is connected to the grinding device.

[0024] On the other hand, this application also provides a beverage device, including the aforementioned bean hopper structure.

[0025] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0026] 1. By setting up a large-capacity main bean bin and multiple relatively smaller auxiliary bean bins, the large capacity of the main bean bin can hold more main bean products, avoiding the need to frequently add beans to the main bean products.

[0027] 2. By forming a mating part on the contact surface between the auxiliary bean bins on both sides and the main bean bin, the structure between the main bean bin and the auxiliary bean bins is made more stable and compact, avoiding vibration or shaking during the bean grinding process.

[0028] 3. Preferably, by designing the bean hopper as a transparent or semi-transparent material, the infrared transmitter and receiver are placed on the outside of the bean hopper to prevent the material inside the bean hopper from directly contacting the probes of the infrared transmitter and receiver, which would cause the oil on the coffee beans to cover the probes and thus affect the normal detection of insufficient beans.

[0029] 4. Preferably, a slot is provided on the base. When the baffle is in the open position, the baffle is at least partially located in the slot. Since the baffle is restricted by the slot, the bean hopper cannot be removed from the base. When the baffle is in the closed position, the baffle is removed from the slot. At this time, the bean hopper can be removed from the base, preventing the material from spilling onto the ground if the discharge port is not closed when the user removes the bean hopper.

Detailed Implementation

[0043] The following detailed, non-limiting description of the utility model's technical solution, in conjunction with preferred embodiments and accompanying drawings, is provided. In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a bean hopper structure according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a base 1 and multiple bean hoppers for storing materials. The base 1 is fixedly mounted on a grinding device, and the multiple bean hoppers are detachably mounted on the base 1. Each bean hopper has a feeding port 243 at its bottom that communicates with the grinding device. The materials in the bean hopper can enter the grinding device through the feeding port 243 for grinding into powder.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, multiple bean bins are independently arranged and specifically include a main bean bin 2 and at least one auxiliary bean bin 3. The main bean bin 2 is detachably installed on the base 1 and has a first cavity 20 for containing the main material. The auxiliary bean bin 3 is detachably installed on the base 1 and has a second cavity 30 for containing the auxiliary material. The volume of the first cavity 20 is greater than the volume of the second cavity 30. By increasing the volume of the main bean bin 2, it can hold more main material, avoiding the need for frequent bean additions due to insufficient main material.

[0046] In this embodiment, the auxiliary bean bin 3 and the main bean bin 2 are connected by a mating part, as shown in the reference. Figure 4The mating part includes a protrusion 31 and a recess 21 that mate with each other. The protrusion 31 and recess 21 can be formed in two ways. In one embodiment, the protrusion 31 is formed by the outward protrusion of the sidewall of the contact surface between the auxiliary bean hopper 3 and the main bean hopper 2, and the recess 21 is formed by the inward concavity of the corresponding sidewall of the main bean hopper 2. In another embodiment, the protrusion 31 is formed by the outward protrusion of the sidewall of the main bean hopper 2, and the recess 21 is formed by the inward concavity of the sidewall of the corresponding contact surface between the auxiliary bean hopper 3 and the main bean hopper 2. The first method is preferred in this embodiment because, initially, the volume of the main bean hopper 2 is much larger than the volume of the auxiliary bean hopper 3. To ensure that the auxiliary bean hopper 3 also has a certain capacity, the storage capacity of the auxiliary bean hopper 3 can be further expanded by forming the protrusion 31 on the sidewall of the auxiliary bean hopper 3. In this application, the auxiliary bean bin 3 and the main bean bin 2 are fitted together by a protrusion 31 and a recess 21, which makes the auxiliary bean bin 3 and the main bean bin 2 more stable and compact, and avoids vibration or shaking during the bean grinding process.

[0047] Furthermore, both the main bean bin 2 and the auxiliary bean bin 3 are rectangular, and the long sides of the main bean bin 2 and the auxiliary bean bin 3 are aligned. The long side of the rectangular prism has a larger supporting area and a larger force transmission path compared to the short side. When the main bean bin 2 and the auxiliary bean bin 3 are aligned through their long sides, the contact area between them is larger, and the force distribution is more even, thereby enhancing the stability of the overall structure. This makes it less likely to sway, tilt, or collapse when subjected to external forces. Secondly, it allows for a more compact overall layout and improves space utilization efficiency.

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, the mating part is located at the junction of the long side of the main bean bin 2 and the long side of the auxiliary bean bin 3. It can be understood that the protrusion 31 and the recess 21 of this application are formed by the long side wall of the auxiliary bean bin 3 and the long side wall of the main bean bin 2, respectively. This avoids the size of the protrusion 31 and the recess 21 being limited by the size of the short side of the bean bin. By placing them at the long side position, a larger mating part can be designed, thereby making the fit between the main bean bin 2 and the auxiliary bean bin 3 more compact and stable.

[0049] In this embodiment, two auxiliary bean bins 3 are provided. To improve the stability of the results between the main bean bin 2 and the two auxiliary bean bins 3, the two auxiliary bean bins 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main bean bin 2. Of course, the number of auxiliary bean bins 3 is not limited to two in this embodiment; it can also be three, four, or other numbers, and can be reasonably selected according to the type of auxiliary material.

[0050] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the soybean bin structure also includes multiple bin door assemblies 4, which are respectively installed in multiple soybean bins to control the opening and closing of the feed inlets 243 of the soybean bins. For details, refer to... Figure 5The hopper door assembly 4 includes a baffle 40 and a handle 41 connected to the baffle 40. The baffle 40 is located at the feed inlet 243. The user rotates the handle 41 to switch the baffle 40 between the open and closed positions. In this embodiment, the user rotates the handle 41 to rotate the baffle 40 horizontally. When the baffle 40 is in the open position, the material in the bean hopper can fall into the grinding device through the feed inlet 243. Conversely, when the baffle 40 is in the closed position, the baffle 40 can block the falling material. To allow the user to apply force to the handle 41 more easily, a bend 410 is provided at the top of the handle 41 for easy gripping.

[0051] To improve the stability of the handle 41 movement, refer to Figure 7 The bottom wall 22 of the bean hopper protrudes outward to form a first column 23. A first mounting hole 230 is provided on the first column 23. The handle 41 is adapted to the shape of the first mounting hole 230, and the handle 41 is at least partially installed in the first mounting hole 230 to prevent shaking when operating the handle 41 and improve the stability of the handle 41. The baffle 40 is set to fit against the opening of the first mounting hole 230 to prevent material leakage when the baffle 40 is in the closed position.

[0052] Additionally, refer to Figure 8 The base 1 has a slot 10. When the baffle 40 is in the open position, the baffle 40 is at least partially located within the slot 10. Because the baffle 40 is restricted by the slot 10, the bean hopper cannot detach from the base 1. When the baffle 40 is in the closed position, the baffle 40 disengages from the slot 10, and the bean hopper can detach from the base 1. This prevents the material from spilling out if the discharge port 243 is not closed when the user removes the bean hopper.

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, the bottom wall 22 of the bean hopper protrudes outward to form a second column 24. A feeding channel 240 is provided through the second column 24, and a perforation 241 is provided on the side wall of the feeding channel 240 for the baffle 40 to pass through. When the baffle 40 is in the closed position, the perforation 241 can provide some auxiliary support for the baffle 40 to improve its stability.

[0054] like Figure 9 As shown, a limiting block 242 is provided on the side wall of the feeding channel 240, and a limiting groove 400 is formed on the baffle 40. When the baffle 40 is in the open position, the limiting block 242 abuts against the first end 401 of the limiting groove 400; when the baffle 40 is in the closed position, the limiting block 242 abuts against the second end 402 of the limiting groove 400, so as to prevent the baffle 40 from being rotated too much, which would cause the baffle 40 to not be opened or closed properly.

[0055] like Figure 7 As shown, the bottom wall 22 of the bean hopper is arc-shaped, and the discharge channel 240 is located at the lowest point of the bottom wall 22, allowing the material inside the bean hopper to slide along the upper surface of the bottom wall 22 to the discharge channel 240 under the action of gravity. Further reference... Figure 10 The base 1 has an indented mounting groove 11 that mates with the bottom wall 22, and the bottom wall of the mounting groove 11 has a through hole 12 for the material discharge channel 240 to pass through, ensuring the stability of the fit between the bean bin and the base 1.

[0056] like Figure 11 As shown, the bean hopper structure also includes an infrared transmitter 5 and an infrared receiver 6. The bottom wall 22 of the bean hopper is made of transparent or semi-transparent material. The infrared transmitter 5 and the infrared receiver 6 are located on the outside of the bottom wall 22 and on both sides of the feeding channel 240. By placing the infrared transmitter 5 and the infrared receiver 6 on the outside of the bean hopper, the material inside the bean hopper (such as coffee beans) is prevented from directly contacting the probes of the infrared transmitter 5 and the infrared receiver 6, so that the oil on the coffee beans covers the probes, thereby affecting the normal detection of insufficient beans.

[0057] Specifically, the bottom wall 22 has a first fixing groove 220 and a second fixing groove 221 formed in the inner recess on the outer side. The infrared transmitter 5 is located in the first fixing groove 220 and the infrared receiver 6 is located in the second fixing groove 221.

[0058] like Figure 9 As shown, a positioning contact 7 is provided on the bottom wall 22 of the bean hopper. A first identification hole 403 and a second identification hole 404 are provided on the baffle 40. When the baffle 40 is in the open position, the positioning contact 7 engages with the first identification hole 403; when the baffle 40 is in the closed position, the positioning contact 7 engages with the second identification hole 404. The positioning contact 7 can be made of glass beads or elastic microbeads. When the positioning contact 7 engages with either identification hole, the user experiences the tactile feedback of the baffle 40 rotating into position.

[0059] like Figure 12As shown, multiple sensors 8 are installed on the base 1, and multiple bean hoppers have magnetic components 80 fixed to their bottoms. Each sensor 8 corresponds to one magnetic component 80. In this embodiment, the magnetic component 80 can be a magnet, and the sensor 8 can be a reed switch. When the bean hopper is installed on the base 1, the magnetic component 80 pre-installed on the bottom of the bean hopper will approach the sensor 8 on the base 1, i.e., the reed switch. Because the reed switch is sensitive to changes in magnetic fields, when the magnet approaches, the internal contacts of the reed switch, which were originally in an open state, will quickly close, thereby generating an electrical signal. This electrical signal will be immediately transmitted to the control system of the beverage equipment. After receiving the signal, the control system will respond immediately, for example, by triggering the indicator light on the operation panel of the beverage equipment or providing a prompt on the operation interface, intuitively feeding back to the user whether the bean hopper has been successfully installed or is not in place. Furthermore, if the bean hopper is detected to be not in place, the grinding device will not operate.

[0060] To ensure user safety, please refer to... Figure 3 The inside of the bean hopper is fixed with a protective cover 9, which is hollow and is placed above the feed inlet 243.

[0061] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the main bean hopper 2 also has a cleaning channel 25. The cleaning channel 25 is independent of the first chamber 20, and the outlet 250 of the cleaning channel 25 is connected to the material feeding port of the grinding device. When cleaning the coffee machine, special cleaning particles or powder are added from the inlet of the cleaning channel 25. These cleaning media, under their own gravity, smoothly slide down the independent cleaning channel 25, enter the brewing chamber of the beverage equipment, and dissolve in the rinsing water to clean the brewer chamber and brewing tubing.

[0062] In addition, this application also provides a beverage device, including the aforementioned bean hopper structure. The beverage device can be a coffee machine, a soy milk maker, or a tea extractor, or it can be a multi-functional integrated beverage machine.

[0063] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
