Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of coffee machine parts manufacturing tools, specifically, a coffee funnel testing tool. Background Technology
[0002] The coffee funnel has a handle, and a distributor is threaded to the bottom of the coffee funnel. The distributor is long and narrow with openings at both ends, which allows the coffee to flow into the distributor through the coffee funnel and then split to both sides.
[0003] When producing coffee funnels, the distributor needs to be screwed onto the funnel in a specific position so that the top view of the distributor and the handle is nearly perpendicular. If the distributor is not screwed on tightly enough, the top view of the distributor and the handle will not be nearly perpendicular, which can easily lead to leakage at the screw-on point.
[0004] Currently, when coffee funnels leave the factory, the position of the distributor needs to be manually inspected. However, the error rate of manual inspection is relatively high, and different angles of inspection will also lead to different results, resulting in inconsistent judgment standards. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the defects of the existing technology, this utility model provides a coffee funnel testing tool to solve the problems in the existing technology.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a coffee funnel testing tool, including a base, a funnel positioning groove for positioning and placing the coffee funnel body on the base, a handle positioning plate on one side of the funnel positioning groove, the handle positioning plate being vertically mounted on the base, a connecting plate on one side of the base, a telescopic connecting rod at one end of the connecting plate, a swingable testing rod on the connecting rod, and the testing rod being parallel to the top view projection of the handle positioning plate.
[0007] In the aforementioned coffee funnel testing tool, the connecting plate has a screw hole at one end near the connecting rod, the testing rod has an external thread section at one end near the screw hole, and a handle at the other end. The external thread section is threadedly connected to the screw hole, and one end of the testing rod has a through hole, through which the connecting rod passes.
[0008] In the aforementioned coffee funnel testing tool, a first spring is provided on one side of the testing rod and sleeved on the connecting rod, and a second spring is provided on the other side and sleeved on the connecting rod. One end of the first spring abuts against the connecting plate and the other end abuts against the testing rod, and one end of the second spring abuts against the testing rod and the other end abuts against the handle.
[0009] In the aforementioned coffee funnel testing tool, the testing rod is rectangular in shape.
[0010] In the aforementioned coffee funnel testing tool, the handle positioning plate has a handle positioning groove with an open top.
[0011] In the aforementioned coffee funnel testing tool, the testing rod is made of silicone.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By positioning the coffee funnel body on the funnel positioning groove, the handle is positioned on the handle positioning plate. Then, the test rod is swung downwards towards the coffee funnel body. If the distributor is not tightened enough, the distributor will be in a slightly skewed state, and the test rod will touch the distributor, preventing it from swinging further down. At this point, it can be determined that the distributor is not tightened enough. If the test rod does not touch the distributor during its downward swing, it can be determined that the distributor has reached the corresponding tightening degree. The entire process does not require manual visual judgment of the angle, and a unified judgment standard can be established. At the same time, the connecting rod can extend and retract on the connecting plate, thereby adjusting the position of the test rod to accommodate different models of coffee funnels.

[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding of this utility model, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0019] Combination Figures 1 to 4A coffee funnel testing tool is shown, comprising a base 1, a funnel positioning groove 2 for positioning and placing a coffee funnel body 14 on the base 1, a handle positioning plate 3 on one side of the funnel positioning groove 2, the handle positioning plate 3 being vertically mounted on the base 1, and a handle positioning groove 4 with an open top on the handle positioning plate 3 for positioning and inserting a handle 16, a connecting plate 5 on one side of the base 1, a retractable connecting rod 8 at one end of the connecting plate 5, and a swingable test rod 11 on the connecting rod 8, the test rod 11 being parallel to the top view projection of the handle positioning plate 3; in this embodiment, the coffee funnel body 14 is positioned in the funnel positioning groove 2. The handle 16 is positioned on the handle positioning plate 3. Then, the test rod 11 is swung downwards towards the coffee funnel body 14. If the distributor 15 is not tightened enough, the distributor 15 will be tilted to a certain extent, and the test rod 11 will touch the distributor 15, preventing the test rod 11 from swinging down further. At this point, it can be determined that the distributor 15 is not tightened enough. If the test rod 11 does not touch the distributor 15 during the downward swing, it can be determined that the distributor 15 has reached the corresponding tightening degree. The whole process does not require manual visual inspection and can be judged according to a unified standard. At the same time, the connecting rod 8 can extend and retract on the connecting plate 5, thereby adjusting the position of the test rod 11 to adapt to different models of coffee funnels.
[0020] It is worth noting that, due to the different models of coffee funnels, the center position of the distributor 15 is different. Before testing, the test rod 11 can be positioned first. After the standard product of the distributor 15 is tightened is placed on the base 1, the test rod 11 is lowered, and then the connecting rod 8 is adjusted to extend and retract on the connecting plate 5 so that the side of the test rod 11 facing the distributor 15 is close to the edge of the distributor 15.
[0021] It is also worth noting that the lower part of the connecting plate 5 has a through hole 6, and the side of the base 1 has a mounting hole corresponding to the through hole 6. The through hole 6 and the mounting hole can be connected by bolts, so that the connecting plate 5 can be mounted on the side of the base 1 by bolts.
[0022] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 5 is provided with a screw hole 7 at one end near the connecting rod 8, the test rod 11 is provided with an external thread section 9 at one end near the screw hole 7, and a handle 10 at the other end. The external thread section 9 is threadedly connected to the screw hole 7, and a through hole is provided at one end of the test rod 11, through which the connecting rod 8 passes. Thus, the connecting rod 8 can be rotated by the handle 11, so that the connecting rod 8 can be adjusted in extension and retraction, which is simple.
[0023] In this embodiment, a first spring 12 sleeved on the connecting rod 8 is provided on one side of the test rod 11, and a second spring 13 sleeved on the connecting rod 8 is provided on the other side. One end of the first spring 12 abuts against the connecting plate 5 and the other end abuts against the test rod 11. One end of the second spring 13 abuts against the test rod 11 and the other end abuts against the handle 10. This allows the test rod 11 to be pressed against the connecting rod 8 by the springs on both sides, preventing the test rod 11 from becoming loose when swinging. Moreover, after the test rod 11 swings down, the action of pushing the test rod 11 can bring the test rod 11 closer to the edge of the diverter 15, improving the accuracy of the judgment.
[0024] It is worth noting that the test rod 11 in this embodiment is rectangular, which makes the test rod 11 flatter and improves the accuracy of the judgment. The test rod 11 is made of silicone to prevent scratching the surface of the coffee funnel.
[0025] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
