[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] See Figures 1-8 This American-style coffee brewing funnel includes a funnel assembly, which comprises a funnel shell 1 and an extraction chamber 2 disposed inside the funnel shell 1. The inner side of the extraction chamber 2 has an extraction cavity 21 capable of holding coffee powder or tea leaves. A limiting structure is provided between the funnel shell 1 and the extraction chamber 2. The extraction chamber 2 is connected and positioned to the funnel shell 1 through the limiting structure, forming an outlet cavity 11 between the outer side of the extraction chamber 2 and the inner side of the funnel shell 1. The extraction chamber 2 is provided with an extraction mesh that allows liquid to flow between the extraction cavity 21 and the outlet cavity 11. The funnel shell 1 is provided with an outlet 12 for discharging liquid from the outlet cavity 11. The extraction chamber 2 can hold brewing ingredients such as coffee powder and tea leaves. Hot water reacts with the brewing ingredients in the extraction chamber 2 to form an extract that seeps into the outlet cavity 11 and is finally discharged out through the outlet 12. This allows for the brewing of American-style coffee or tea leaves, enabling the coffee brewing funnel to meet a wider range of brewing needs.
[0027] Furthermore, the limiting structure includes a first supporting step 13 and an outer flange 22. The first supporting step 13 is located around the upper opening of the funnel shell 1, and the outer flange 22 is located on the outside of the extraction box 2. The extraction box 2 enters the inner side of the funnel shell 1 from the upper opening of the funnel shell 1 from top to bottom until the outer flange 22 abuts against the first supporting step 13, so that the extraction box 2 can be quickly assembled and disassembled from the funnel shell 1.
[0028] Furthermore, the extraction box 2 has several rib sections 23 distributed around its periphery and / or bottom, with an opening structure formed between adjacent rib sections 23. The opening structure is covered by the extraction mesh (not shown in the figure), so that the extraction box 2 can maintain a relatively stable shape after a certain amount of brewing material is placed in it. This avoids the situation where the brewing material is excessively concentrated in the center after a certain amount of brewing material is placed in the extraction mesh, allowing the brewing material to react better with the hot water.
[0029] Furthermore, a water distribution net 3 is provided on the upper side of the extraction chamber 21. The water distribution net 3 is detachable from the extraction box 2. The water distribution net 3 can make hot water enter the extraction chamber 21 more evenly, and at the same time, it can reduce the chance of brewing raw materials (such as coffee powder) in the extraction chamber 21 drifting outward.
[0030] Furthermore, the inner side of the extraction box 2 is provided with a second supporting step 24 corresponding to the water distribution net 3. The water distribution net 3 enters the extraction chamber 21 from the upper opening of the extraction box 2 from top to bottom until the water distribution net 3 abuts and cooperates with the second supporting step 24, so that the water distribution net 3 can be quickly disassembled and assembled with the extraction box 2.
[0031] Furthermore, the outer side of the extraction box 2 is provided with a first protrusion 25 corresponding to the position of the second supporting step 24, the inner side of the funnel shell 1 is provided with a first clearance part 14 corresponding to the first protrusion 25, and the outer side of the funnel shell 1 is provided with a second protrusion 15 corresponding to the position of the first clearance part 14, making the installation structure between the extraction box 2 and the funnel shell 1 more compact.
[0032] Furthermore, an anti-detachment block 31 is provided on the outer side of the water distribution net 3, and an anti-detachment insertion hole 26 corresponding to the anti-detachment block 31 is provided on the side wall of the extraction box 2. The anti-detachment block 31 and the anti-detachment insertion hole 26 are inserted and matched to make the water distribution net 3 and the extraction box 2 radially and vertically positioned and matched, so as to prevent the anti-detachment block 31 from accidentally falling off the extraction box 2 during use.
[0033] Furthermore, the outer wall of the water distribution net 3 and the inner wall of the extraction box 2 are radially spaced, and the vertical thickness of the anti-detachment block 31 is less than the vertical thickness of the anti-detachment insertion hole 26. The water distribution net 3 and the extraction box 2 are respectively provided with a unique anti-detachment block 31 and anti-detachment insertion hole 26. When installing the water distribution net 3, the water distribution net 3 can be placed into the inside of the extraction box 2 at a certain angle until the anti-detachment block 31 is inserted into the anti-detachment insertion hole 26, and then the water distribution net 3 is placed flat on the second support step 24. When it is necessary to remove the water distribution net 3, simply tilt the other side of the water distribution net 3 relative to the anti-detachment block 31 upwards, and pull the water distribution net 3 out while removing the anti-detachment block 31 from the anti-detachment insertion hole 26.
[0034] Furthermore, several screw-fit blocks 16 are distributed on the outer side of the funnel shell 1. The screw-fit blocks 16 are provided with an inlet inclined surface 161 on the side corresponding to the forward rotation direction of the funnel shell 1. The inlet inclined surface 161 is located at the bottom of the screw-fit blocks 16. The screw-fit blocks 16 are inclined upward along the forward rotation direction. When it is necessary to brew coffee or tea, the funnel shell 1 can be installed and fixed by quickly rotating the hot water outlet of the external coffee device.
[0035] This utility model also discloses a coffee machine, including a coffee machine body 4, which has a water outlet 41. The coffee machine body 4 is equipped with an espresso brewing module and / or a semi-automatic coffee brewing module for providing hot water to the water outlet 41. The pressure of the hot water provided by the espresso brewing module to the water outlet 41 is greater than that of the semi-automatic coffee brewing module. The dispensing end of the funnel assembly is located at the position of the coffee machine body 4 corresponding to the water outlet 41. The coffee machine body 4 has a richer brewing function and can be used in more different application scenarios. It can also provide hot water to the Americano brewing funnel to achieve brewing when using the Americano brewing funnel.
[0036] like Figure 8 As shown, the coffee machine body 4 is equipped with an espresso brewing module and a semi-automatic coffee brewing module, as well as two corresponding water outlets 41. The funnel assembly can be installed and connected to the water outlet 41 of the corresponding semi-automatic coffee brewing module to achieve the effect of brewing Americano coffee or brewing tea. The water outlet 41 of the corresponding espresso brewing module can also be adapted to the espresso brewing funnel to achieve the effect of brewing espresso coffee.
[0037] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, and other implementations are also possible. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model, and all such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope set forth in the claims of this application.
