Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tea powder machine technology, specifically a new type of tea powder machine. Background Technology

[0002] A tea powder machine is a food processing device that outputs tea powder to feed beverages containing tea powder (tea leaves). Existing tea powder machines still have the following shortcomings:

[0003] 1. Often, automated and precise measurement of tea powder is impossible, leading to discrepancies between the actual weight of the tea powder and the required amount, thus affecting the taste of the beverage. Some existing tea powder machines rely on manual weighing to ensure accurate measurement, resulting in low automation, cumbersome operation, low efficiency, and a high risk of errors.

[0004] 2. The parts of the tea powder machine that come into contact with the tea powder are inconvenient to disassemble or even impossible to disassemble. As a result, after use, the tea powder will come into contact with the relevant parts inside the tea powder machine, making it impossible to clean efficiently, or even impossible to clean because they cannot be disassembled.

[0005] 3. The area inside the existing tea powder machine where tea powder is stored cannot be sealed well, which can easily cause tea powder stored inside the machine for a long time or temporarily to become damp.

[0006] 4. Due to the use of manual or semi-automated operation, the powder dispensing time is inconsistent and cannot be guaranteed, which may affect some practical applications. For example, in commercial beverage applications, a uniform dispensing time is desired. When the powder dispensing time cannot be guaranteed, it may affect the beverage preparation time, thus causing consumers to spend longer waiting times. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of tea powder machine that can solve the problems described in the background art.

[0008] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this utility model is as follows: A novel tea powder machine includes a housing, a hopper and a powder dispensing assembly installed on the housing. The hopper includes a discharge port, and the powder dispensing assembly includes a discharge nozzle and a powder guiding mechanism. The hopper and the powder guiding mechanism are connected in communication. One end of the discharge nozzle is connected in communication with the powder guiding mechanism, and the other end extends to the outside of the housing. The powder guiding mechanism can rotate to a first position and a second position.

[0009] First position: The powder guiding mechanism is blocked at the discharge nozzle, so that the discharge nozzle is isolated from the discharge port of the hopper;

[0010] Second position: The powder guiding mechanism clears the discharge nozzle, so that the discharge nozzle is connected to the discharge port of the hopper.

[0011] Furthermore, the hopper is installed on top of the housing, and the powder discharging assembly is installed inside the housing.

[0012] Furthermore, the hopper also includes an outer shell, a cover plate, and an inner shell. The inner shell is installed inside the outer shell, and the cover plate is sealed on the top of the outer shell, thus forming a sealed space inside the hopper.

[0013] The inner shell includes the discharge port, as well as a protrusion and a guide ramp. The guide ramp is inclined downwards and converges to form a cylindrical protrusion. The end of the narrower portion forms a protrusion, and the discharge port is located in the protrusion. The guide ramp is located inside the outer shell and is inclined. The discharge port is located at the end of the protrusion. The guide ramp also has the upward-protruding protrusion. The cover plate has a recessed hole that matches the protrusion, allowing the protrusion to engage with the recessed hole.

[0014] The protruding part of the hopper is inserted into the powder guiding mechanism, so that the hopper and the powder guiding mechanism are sealed together.

[0015] Furthermore, the powder guiding mechanism includes a storage base, a powder guiding shaft, a first gear, a second gear, a first motor, a second motor, and an impeller. The first motor and the storage base are mounted on the housing. The powder guiding shaft and the impeller are both mounted on the storage base. The output end of the first motor is connected to the first gear, and one end of the powder guiding shaft is connected to the second gear. The first gear and the second gear are meshed together.

[0016] A powder guiding through hole is provided on the powder guiding shaft, extending radially through the shaft. When driven by the second gear, the powder guiding shaft can rotate to at least the third and fourth positions, causing the powder guiding mechanism to rotate to the first and second positions accordingly.

[0017] Third position: The powder guiding through hole of the powder guiding shaft is offset from the discharge port on the protruding part of the hopper, so that the non-powder guiding through hole part of the powder guiding shaft is sealed against the discharge port.

[0018] Fourth position: The powder guiding through hole of the powder guiding shaft is directly opposite the discharge port on the protrusion of the hopper, so that the discharge port and the powder guiding through hole are in a continuous state, and the powder guiding through hole and the inlet of the discharge nozzle are also in a continuous state.

[0019] Furthermore, a first through hole is provided in the storage seat, and the powder guiding shaft is detachably installed in the first through hole. One end of the powder guiding shaft connected to the first gear extends out of the through hole, and the first gear is located outside the through hole.

[0020] The extension direction of the first through hole is perpendicular to the first motor, so that the powder guiding shaft mounted on the first through hole and the first motor are arranged in two mutually perpendicular directions.

[0021] The top of the storage base has a groove dug from the outside in, and the protrusion of the hopper is inserted into the groove, and the protrusion is sealed to the groove.

[0022] Furthermore, the groove is located within the inner cavity of the storage seat, and a feeding port is provided on the side wall of the groove. When the powder guiding shaft rotates to the third position, the feeding port remains non-communicating with the inner cavity of the storage seat; when the powder guiding shaft rotates to the fourth position, the feeding port becomes communicative with the inner cavity of the storage seat.

[0023] The impeller is installed in the groove, the powder guiding through hole of the powder guiding shaft is located in the inner cavity, and the inlet of the discharge nozzle is connected to the inner cavity and located at the bottom of the inner cavity.

[0024] The output end of the second motor passes through the bottom of the storage base and extends into the groove to connect with the impeller, so as to drive the impeller to rotate. The connection between the output end of the second motor and the storage base is kept sealed.

[0025] Furthermore, a sealing cover is connected to the top of the storage seat, and the sealing cover is flush with the top surface of the box.

[0026] Furthermore, the storage base is also provided with a second through hole, which penetrates through the bottom of the storage base and communicates with the inner cavity of the storage base. The top of the discharge nozzle abuts against the bottom outer wall of the storage base, so that the inlet of the discharge nozzle is directly opposite the second through hole.

[0027] Furthermore, the powder guiding mechanism also includes a base, a storage seat mounted on the base, the base mounted on the housing and located inside the housing, and a first motor mounted on the housing and located inside the housing.

[0028] Both the first and second gears are bevel gears.

[0029] The base is rectangular, and the storage seat is also rectangular, with the storage seat embedded in the concave groove of the base.

[0030] Furthermore, the novel tea powder machine also includes a support plate, which is installed inside the housing. The base, storage seat, and second motor are all mounted on the support plate.

[0031] It also includes a controller, and both the first motor and the second motor are electrically connected to the controller.

[0032] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model allows for easy disassembly of parts that come into contact with tea powder, enabling efficient cleaning and effectively preventing the tea powder from getting damp. It also allows for more accurate control of the amount of tea powder dispensed and can complete the process within a preset time. It has a high degree of automation, requires no manual operation, and is convenient and efficient to operate. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0038] like Figures 1-16 As shown, a novel tea powder machine includes a housing 2, a hopper 1 mounted on the housing 2, and a powder dispensing assembly. The hopper 1 is installed on the top of the housing 2, and the powder dispensing assembly is installed inside the housing 2. The hopper 1 includes a discharge port 101, and the powder dispensing assembly includes a discharge nozzle 3 and a powder guiding mechanism. The hopper 1 is connected to the powder guiding mechanism, allowing the tea powder in the hopper 1 to be conveyed into the powder guiding mechanism. The powder guiding mechanism is located inside the housing 2. One end of the discharge nozzle 3 is connected to the powder guiding mechanism, and the other end extends to the outside of the housing 2 to output tea powder. The powder guiding mechanism can rotate to a first position and a second position.

[0039] First position: The powder guiding mechanism is blocked at the discharge nozzle 3, so that the discharge nozzle 3 is isolated from the discharge port 101 of the hopper 1, that is, it is in a non-connected state;

[0040] Second position: The powder guiding mechanism is cleared at the discharge nozzle 3, so that the discharge nozzle 3 is connected to the discharge port 101 of the hopper 1.

[0041] The powder guiding mechanism can be controlled to rotate to the first position and the second position respectively, so that the powder discharging mechanism can be connected to or disconnected from the hopper 1, thereby allowing tea powder to be discharged or prohibited from being discharged. Thus, the discharge of tea powder and the amount of tea powder discharged can be controlled as needed.

[0042] For example, the hopper 1 also includes an outer shell 104, a cover plate and an inner shell (not shown in the figure). The inner shell is installed inside the outer shell 104, and the cover plate is sealed on the top of the outer shell 104, so that a sealed space is formed inside the hopper 1, which can store tea powder.

[0043] The inner shell includes the discharge port 101, as well as a protrusion 102 and a guide plate 103. The guide plate 103 is inclined downwards and converges to form a cylindrical protrusion, that is, it is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with the end of the narrower part forming a protrusion. The discharge port 101 is located in the protrusion. The guide plate 103 is located inside the outer shell 104. The guide plate 103 is inclined, and the discharge port 101 is located at the end of the protrusion, that is, at the converged end of the guide plate 103. The guide plate 103 is also provided with an upwardly protruding protrusion 102. The cover plate is provided with a concave hole adapted to the protrusion 102. The protrusion 102 can be engaged in the concave hole, thereby connecting the inner shell and the cover plate, and thus connecting the outer shell 104, the inner shell, and the cover plate together to form the hopper 1.

[0044] The protrusion of the hopper 1 is inserted into the powder guiding mechanism, so that the hopper 1 and the powder guiding mechanism are sealed together. The tea powder stored in the hopper 1 can be sealed and stored, and will not come into contact with the outside air when it is transported into the powder guiding mechanism, thus ensuring that the tea powder is not damp through sealing.

[0045] The powder guiding mechanism includes a base 11, a storage seat 12, a powder guiding shaft 6, a first gear 602, a second gear 701, a first motor 7, a second motor 10, and an impeller 5. The storage seat 12 is mounted on the base 11, which is mounted on the housing 2 and located inside the housing 2. The powder guiding shaft 6 and the impeller 5 are both mounted inside the storage seat 12. The first motor 7 is mounted on the housing 2 and located inside the housing 2. The output end of the first motor 7 is connected to the first gear 602, and one end of the powder guiding shaft 6 is connected to the second gear 701. The first gear 602 and the second gear 701 are meshed together. The first motor 7 drives the first gear 602 to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear 701 to rotate, and the second gear 701 drives the powder guiding shaft 6 to rotate.

[0046] For example, in order to save installation space and facilitate the disassembly of the powder guiding shaft 6, the first motor 7 and the powder guiding shaft 6 are respectively installed in two mutually perpendicular directions, and the first gear 602 and the second gear 701 are both bevel gears.

[0047] For example, the base 11 is a rectangular body, and the storage seat 12 is also a rectangular structure, with the storage seat 12 embedded in the concave groove of the base 11.

[0048] A powder guiding through hole 601 is provided on the powder guiding shaft 6, and the powder guiding through hole 601 extends radially through the powder guiding shaft 6. When the powder guiding shaft 6 is driven by the second gear 701, it can rotate to at least the third and fourth positions, so that the powder guiding mechanism rotates to the first and second positions accordingly.

[0049] Third position: The powder guiding hole 601 of the powder guiding shaft 6 is misaligned with the discharge port 101 on the protrusion of the hopper 1, so that the non-powder guiding hole 601 part of the powder guiding shaft 6 is sealed against the discharge port 101, thereby keeping the hopper 1 and the powder guiding hole 601 in a non-connected state, and keeping the powder guiding hole 601 and the inlet 301 of the discharge nozzle 3 in a non-connected state, so that the tea powder in the hopper 1 cannot be transported to the discharge nozzle 3, keeping the tea powder not transported, that is, turning off the tea powder output function.

[0050] Fourth position: The powder guiding through hole 601 of the powder guiding shaft 6 is directly opposite the discharge port 101 on the protrusion of the hopper 1, so that the discharge port 101 and the powder guiding through hole 601 are in a connected state, and the powder guiding through hole 601 and the inlet port 301 of the discharge nozzle 3 are also in a connected state, so that the tea powder in the hopper 1 can be sent into the inlet port 301 of the discharge nozzle 3 through the discharge port 101, and then output through the discharge nozzle 3 to maintain the state of conveying tea powder, that is, to activate the function of outputting tea powder.

[0051] By driving the powder guide shaft 6 to rotate to the third and fourth positions, automatic control can be achieved to determine whether tea powder is output. Since the amount of tea powder passing through the powder guide hole 601 per unit time is fixed, by keeping the powder guide shaft 6 in the second position for a certain period of time, that is, by controlling the interval between rotating the powder guide shaft 6 to the third and fourth positions, and the time spent in the third and fourth positions, the desired amount of tea powder can be delivered.

[0052] For example, the storage base 12 is provided with a first through hole 1202, and the powder guiding shaft 6 is detachably installed in the first through hole 1202. One end of the powder guiding shaft 6 connected to the first gear 602 extends out of the through hole, and the first gear 602 is located outside the through hole. The extending direction of the first through hole 1202 is perpendicular to the first motor 7, so that the powder guiding shaft 6 installed on the first through hole 1202 and the first motor 7 are arranged in two mutually perpendicular directions.

[0053] The top of the storage seat 12 has a groove 1201 cut from the outside to the inside. The protrusion of the hopper 1 is inserted into the groove 1201 and the protrusion is sealed to the groove 1201. For example, a good sealing performance can be achieved by fitting a sealing ring at the joint between the protrusion and the groove 1201.

[0054] The groove 1201 is located in the inner cavity of the storage base 12. A feeding port is provided on the side wall of the groove 1201. When the powder guiding shaft 6 rotates to the third position, the feeding port is not connected to the inner cavity of the storage base 12, so that the tea powder in the groove 1201 cannot be fed into the groove 1201 of the storage base 12, and thus cannot be fed into the inlet 301 of the outlet 3. When the powder guiding shaft 6 rotates to the fourth position, the feeding port is connected to the inner cavity of the storage base 12, so that the tea powder in the groove 1201 can enter the inner cavity of the storage base 12, and thus can be fed into the inlet 301 of the outlet 3. The impeller 5 is installed in the groove 1201, the powder guiding through hole 601 of the powder guiding shaft 6 is located in the inner cavity, and the inlet 301 of the outlet 3 is connected to the inner cavity and located at the bottom of the inner cavity. The top of the storage base 12 is also connected to a sealing cover 4, which is flush with the top surface of the box 2, that is, the sealing cover 4 and the top surface of the box 2 are on the same plane. Of course, in actual use, the sealing cover 4 can be omitted, and the top of the storage base 12 can be directly set to be flush with the top surface of the box 2.

[0055] The output end of the second motor 10 passes through the bottom of the storage base 12 and extends into the groove 1201 to connect with the impeller 5, thereby driving the impeller 5 to rotate. The connection between the output end of the second motor 10 and the storage base 12 remains sealed. The second motor 10 drives the impeller 5 to rotate, and the impeller 5 moves the tea powder located in the groove 1201, thereby throwing the tea powder in the groove 1201 into the feeding port. When the powder guiding shaft 6 has not rotated to the third position, that is, when the feeding port is in communication with the inner cavity of the storage base 12, the tea powder can be fed into the tea outlet, thereby outputting the tea powder.

[0056] For example, the storage base 12 is also provided with a second through hole 1203, which passes through the bottom of the storage base 12 and communicates with the inner cavity of the storage base 12. The top of the discharge nozzle 3 abuts against the bottom outer wall of the storage base 12, so that the inlet 301 of the discharge nozzle 3 is directly opposite the second through hole 1203, so that the discharge nozzle 3 does not need to be inserted into the storage base 12, and the inlet 301 can remain connected with the inner cavity of the storage base 12, which facilitates the disassembly of the discharge nozzle 3.

[0057] For example, the discharge nozzle 3 also includes a baffle plate 302, which is disposed at one end of the discharge nozzle 3 where the inlet 301 is located. The baffle plate 302 abuts against the bottom of the storage seat 12, thereby detachably connecting the discharge nozzle 3 and the storage seat 12.

[0058] After the tea powder is fed into the powder guiding mechanism from the outlet 101 of the hopper 1, only the area of ​​the groove 1201 of the powder guiding mechanism, the area of ​​the feeding port on the inner wall of the groove 1201, the area of ​​the inner cavity of the storage seat 12, the area of ​​the second through hole 1203, and the outlet 3 can contact the tea powder. When these parts in contact with the tea powder need to be cleaned after use, it is only necessary to disassemble the outlet 3, the hopper 1, and the powder guiding and storage seat 12 to clean these parts. This allows for highly efficient and convenient disassembly and assembly, thus efficiently completing the cleaning process. In addition, the storage seat 12 has good sealing performance, which can effectively prevent the tea powder from getting damp. The entire powder dispensing process can be fully automated, eliminating the need for manual weighing, thus increasing efficiency. Furthermore, by rotating the impeller 5 at a preset time, it can be ensured that the amount of tea powder produced within a certain time period is within the preset range. According to the actual research and testing conducted by the inventor, the powder output error is within ±0.4 grams, which can ensure that the preset amount of tea powder can be produced within a uniform time, and the powder output time can be guaranteed.

[0059] For example, it also includes a support plate 9, which is installed inside the housing 2. The base 11, the storage seat 12, and the second motor 10 are all installed on the support plate 9.

[0060] For example, it also includes a controller 8, which is a hardware device based on a circuit board. The first motor 7 and the second motor 10 are both electrically connected to the controller 8 so as to control the opening and closing of the first motor 7 and the second motor 10 through the controller 8.

[0061] For example, the tea powder machine also includes a cup holder 13 structure, which includes a cup holder 13, a tray frame 14, and a weighing sensor 15. The cup holder 13 is detachably mounted on the tray frame 14, and the weighing sensor 15 is mounted on the end of the tray frame 14 away from the cup holder 13. The cup holder 13 is used to collect the tea powder output by the powder dispensing component, and the weighing sensor 15 is used to weigh the tea powder collected in the cup holder 13.

[0062] For example, the cup holder 13 and the tray frame 14 are detachably connected so that the cup holder 13 can be detachably mounted on the weighing sensor 15.

[0063] The cup holder 13 includes a cup holder handle 1301, a cup tray 1302, and a guide post 1303. One end of the cup holder handle 1301 is fixedly or detachably connected to the cup tray 1302, and the cup holder handle 1301 is located on one radial side of the cup tray 1302. The guide post 1303 is fixedly or detachably connected to the cup tray 1302, and the guide post 1303 is located on one axial side of the cup tray 1302. The guide post 1303 gradually narrows in the direction away from the cup tray 1302, thus presenting a structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.

[0064] The cup tray 1302 is provided with a concave space for holding the tea powder, and the cup tray 1302 can be round.

[0065] For example, the cup holder handle 1301 is a long cylindrical structure, which can be a solid structure or a hollow structure.

[0066] For example, a limiting ring (not shown in the figure) is also provided on one end of the cup holder handle 1301 near the cup tray 1302, and the limiting ring is sleeved on the cup holder handle 1301.

[0067] For example, the guide column 1303 is a column structure with a through cavity, which is arranged along the axial direction of the guide column 1303.

[0068] For example, the guide column 1303 is also equipped with a switch for opening and closing the passage cavity. When the switch is in the open state, the tea powder in the cup tray 1302 can be output to the outside of the guide column 1303 through the passage cavity. When the switch is in the closed state, the tea powder in the cup tray 1302 cannot be output to the outside of the guide column 1303 through the passage cavity. The switch can be a lever or other baffle. When the lever or baffle fully covers the cross-section of the passage cavity, the passage cavity is closed. When the lever or baffle does not fully cover or partially covers the cross-section of the passage cavity, the passage cavity is opened.

[0069] The pallet rack 14 includes a support portion 1401, a limiting portion 1402, and a support plate 1403. One end of the support portion is connected to the limiting portion 1402, and the other end of the limiting portion 1402 is connected to the support plate 1403. The support plate is also connected to a weighing sensor 15, which can be mounted on the housing 2. The support portion 1401 includes a first limiting plate (not shown) and a second limiting plate. Both the first and second limiting plates are connected to the same end of the support plate 1403, and the support portion 1401 is connected to one end of the second limiting plate. The first and second limiting plates are spaced apart, forming a first notch 1404 between them. Both the first and second limiting plates are inclined upwards relative to the support plate 1403. Correspondingly, the first notch 1404 is also inclined upwards, with its opening located at the end furthest from the support plate 1403 and facing outwards.

[0070] Understandably, by using the weighing sensor 15 to measure the amount of tea powder currently being produced, the remaining time required for powder production can be assessed in real time, thereby allowing for precise control of the final output amount of tea powder.

[0071] The support portion 1401 is located below the limiting portion 1402, that is, below the second limiting plate. The support portion 1401 is provided with a second recess 1405. The opening of the second recess 1405 is upward. The first recess 1404 and the second recess 1405 are connected to each other, and a third recess is formed between the connected areas. The opening of the third recess is located on the side away from the second limiting plate and is outward.

[0072] When the cup holder 13 is placed on the tray frame 14, the cup tray 1302 of the cup holder 13 is suspended and engaged with the second recess 1405. The limiting ring on the cup holder 13 is located between the first recess 1404 and the second recess 1405, so that when the cup holder 13 is pulled horizontally, it cannot be directly removed from the tray frame 14 due to the limiting effect, thus avoiding accidental removal of the cup holder 13. The guide post 1303 passes through the second recess 1405, and the cup holder handle 1301 is engaged with the first recess 1404. The diameter of the guide post 1303 is less than the width of the first recess 1404 and less than the diameter of the cup tray 1302, and the diameter of the guide post 1303 is less than the diameter of the third recess. This size relationship allows the cup holder 13 to be placed on or removed from the tray frame 14 vertically. Similarly, the cup holder 13 can be moved horizontally (front-back and left-right). When the guide post 1303 on the cup holder 13 is directly opposite the third recess and located on one side of the third recess, the cup holder 13 can be moved left or right to place it onto or remove it from the tray frame 14 by moving it horizontally. This arrangement allows the cup holder 13 to be operated in both the vertical and horizontal directions (front-back and left-right) when space is sufficient, to install or remove it. When space is insufficient, especially when vertical space is limited, the cup holder 13 can be installed or removed simply by operating it horizontally.

[0073] The cup holder 13 structure allows for easy placement on the tea powder machine, facilitating the collection of tea powder. The cup holder 13 structure, with its first notch 1404, second notch 1405, and third notch, allows for operation in both vertical and horizontal directions. This makes it easy to install and remove the cup holder 13 in both space-constrained and space-limited situations, adapting to more application scenarios and improving user experience.
