Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of coffee grinders, and specifically relates to a coffee grinder. Background Technology
[0002] Coffee, as one of the world's three major beverages, is a well-known drink with a long history and is increasingly accepted by consumers. To enjoy freshly brewed coffee, equipment such as coffee grinders is indispensable. Coffee grinders play a crucial role in coffee making, primarily grinding coffee beans through their grinding components. Generally, they utilize flat or conical burr grinding discs, where the relative rotation of two discs compresses and shears the coffee beans between the discs, grinding them into powder.
[0003] The grinding assembly typically consists of inner and outer grinding blades. A motor drives the inner grinding blade to rotate within the outer grinding blade via a drive shaft. For example, CN215838517U discloses a small coffee bean grinder that uses a motor installed in the base to drive the upper blade disc to rotate, while the lower blade disc is fixed. A connecting channel is formed between the upper and lower blade discs, allowing for the rapid extraction of ground coffee powder. The gap between the upper and lower blade discs can be adjusted by adjusting the gap between the adjusting body and the base to adjust the grind size to meet different needs. Because the coffee beans are squeezed and ground into coffee powder between the inner and outer grinding blades, and one end of the motor-driven drive shaft drives the inner grinding blade, while the other end of the drive shaft is suspended, the drive shaft experiences radial pressure, resulting in radial offset. This causes a large radial displacement of the drive shaft during rotation, affecting the uniformity of the coffee powder's coarseness and generating significant noise. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1
[0031] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a coffee grinder, which consists of a bean hopper 30, a grinding shell 20, a main shell 10 and a powder hopper 40 disposed on a base 50. The bean hopper 30, the grinding shell 20 and the main shell 10 are arranged in sequence. The main shell 10 is provided with a motor 11 and a main control circuit board 12. The output end of the motor 11 is connected to the lower end of a drive shaft 210. The drive shaft 210 drives the grinding blade assembly in the grinding shell 20 to work. The lower side of the drive shaft 210 is mounted in the grinding shell 20 through a set of bearings 213, and the upper end of the drive shaft 210 is mounted on the bean hopper seat block 32 in the bean hopper 30 through another bearing 213.
[0032] In use, the lower end of the drive shaft 210 is connected to the motor 11 and then mounted on the grinding housing 20 through a set of bearings 213. The upper end of the drive shaft 210 extends to the bean hopper 30 and is mounted in the bean hopper seat block 32 through another bearing 213. The bean hopper 30, the bean hopper seat block 32, and the grinding housing 20 are on the same central axis, and the three bearings 213 are also on the same central axis, so that the drive shaft 210 forms a three-point concentric positioning on the axis, minimizing vibration and offset.
[0033] Specifically, the bean hopper seat block 32 includes a bean hopper seat plate 321 that fits against the bottom of the bean hopper 30. The bean hopper seat plate 321 is provided with a positioning mounting block 322 by a plurality of positioning supports 323. The positioning mounting block 322 is located on the central axis, and the bearing 213 is installed in the positioning mounting block 322.
[0034] When in use, coffee beans are placed into the bean hopper 30, and then fall from between the positioning supports 323 into the center hole of the bean hopper base plate 321 before entering the grinding blade assembly.
[0035] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the upper end of the main housing 10 is connected to the lower end of the grinding housing 20. The lower part of the main housing 10 is provided with the main control circuit board 12 and the power supply device 14 and the switch control device 15 connected to the main control circuit board 12. The motor 11 is mounted on the upper part of the main housing 10 through a motor mounting base 13. The motor 11 is connected to the main control circuit board 12. The output end of the motor 11 passes through the motor mounting base 13 and is connected to the lower end of the drive shaft 210.
[0036] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, a grinding blade assembly is provided inside the grinding housing 20. An adjusting pressure ring 22 is provided on the upper side of the grinding blade assembly, and a powder scraper 28 and a grinding base plate 29 are provided on the lower side of the grinding blade assembly.
[0037] Specifically, the grinding blade assembly consists of an outer grinding blade 23 and an inner grinding blade 24. The powder scraper block 28, the inner grinding blade 24, and the drive shaft 210 are fixedly connected to each other. The drive shaft 10 is mounted on the bearing seat 202 of the grinding housing 20 via a set of bearings 213. Specifically, the inner grinding blade 24 is fixed to the drive shaft 210 by a locking nut 27. The powder scraper block 28, the inner grinding blade 24, and the drive shaft 210 are connected by keyways, pins, or other means.
[0038] In use, coffee beans in the bean hopper 30 fall into the gap between the outer grinding blade 23 and the inner grinding blade 24. The drive shaft 210 drives the inner grinding blade 24 and the scraper block 28 to rotate. The coffee beans are ground into coffee powder by the outer grinding blade 23 and the inner grinding blade 24. The coffee powder falls into the grinding plate 29 on the lower side of the grinding blade assembly. The scraper block 28 scrapes the coffee powder in the grinding plate 29 to the powder outlet.
[0039] Specifically, the upper end of the grinding housing 20 and the lower end of the bean hopper 30 are connected by an adjusting connecting thread 21. The outer grinding blade 23 is circumferentially provided with multiple spring support portions 231. A return spring 28 is provided between the spring support portions 231 and the spring mounting seat 201 at the upper end of the grinding housing 20. The bottom of the bean hopper seat block 32 is vertically pressed and confined within the spring mounting seat 201 by the adjusting pressure ring 22. The lower end of the bean hopper 30 is also provided with a scale groove 301. Corresponding to the scale groove 301, several elastic beads 26 are provided at the upper end of the grinding housing 20. The elastic beads 26 radially engage with the scale groove 301 and move vertically as the adjusting connecting thread 21 rotates, compressing the vertical height of the return spring 25 to adjust the gap between the outer grinding blade 23 and the inner grinding blade 24.
[0040] In use, turn the bean hopper 30 to rotate it relative to the grinding housing 20. Adjust the connecting thread 21 to engage with it. The scale groove 301 and the elastic ball 26 mark the adjustment scale. Adjust the pressure ring 22 to squeeze the outer grinding blade 23, which in turn squeezes the return spring 25. This causes the outer grinding blade 23 to move vertically within the spring mounting seat 201. The inner grinding blade 24 remains vertically positioned within the grinding housing 20. As the outer grinding blade 23 moves vertically, the gap between the outer grinding blade 23 and the inner grinding blade 24 changes, thereby adjusting the coarseness of the coffee powder.
[0041] like Figure 3 , 6 As shown, a powder outlet 211 is provided on one side of the grinding housing 20 through a powder outlet mounting hole 203. The inner groove of the powder outlet 211 is radially connected to the powder scraper block 28. The powder hopper 40 is provided on the lower side of the powder outlet 211. The powder hopper 40 is arranged side by side with the main housing 10.
[0042] Specifically, the upper end of the powder dispensing component 211 is provided with several spring rods 212 in the powder dispensing mounting hole 203, so that the powder dispensing component 211 can be vertically reset and moved within the powder dispensing mounting hole 203.
[0043] Specifically, a number of magnetic components 51 are provided between the powder hopper 40 and the base 50, and the powder hopper 40 is detachably mounted on the base 50 by magnetic attraction.
[0044] Optionally, the bean hopper 30 is also provided with a bean hopper cover 31, which is used to add coffee beans.
[0045] In this embodiment of the coffee grinder, the lower end of the drive shaft is connected to the motor and then mounted on the grinding housing via a set of bearings. The upper end of the drive shaft extends to the bean hopper and is mounted in the bean hopper seat block via another bearing. The bean hopper, bean hopper seat block, and grinding housing are on the same central axis, and the three bearings are also on the same central axis, thereby enabling the drive shaft to be concentrically positioned at three points on the axis, minimizing vibration and offset.
[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
