Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee funnel technology, specifically a coffee funnel for coffee machines. Background Technology

[0002] Coffee, as a popular beverage, has always been a focus of attention regarding its production process and quality. Coffee machines are commonly used equipment in coffee making, and the coffee funnel is a key component of the machine, used to hold coffee grounds and guide the coffee liquid out. To improve the extraction effect and drinking hygiene, existing technologies have developed solutions that install a secondary water distribution mesh on the handle of the coffee funnel. For example, a Chinese utility model patent (publication number: CN222367515U) discloses a coffee machine funnel. Through the structural design of a return spring, mounting plate, and elastic fixing element, the water distribution mesh is inserted into the fixing plate during use. Pulling the mounting plate causes it to detach from the elastic fixing element. Under the elastic force of the return spring, the mounting plate rotates the fixing plate 180°, allowing the secondary water distribution mesh to evenly cover the surface of the coffee powder puck in the powder container. This prevents fingers from touching the coffee powder puck when placing the secondary water distribution mesh, reducing hand contamination and ensuring the hygiene of the coffee liquid.

[0003] However, the aforementioned device has some shortcomings in use. Specifically, during the coffee brewing process, when it's necessary to collect coffee grounds, the raised secondary water distribution mesh mechanism on the handle makes it inconvenient for the user to hold the funnel handle. Because this mechanism protrudes from the handle surface, the user's hand interferes with the protruding mechanism when holding the handle, resulting in an uncomfortable grip and potentially causing instability. This not only affects the user experience but may also lead to coffee grounds spilling due to instability, causing waste and cleaning trouble. Therefore, to address these issues, a coffee funnel for coffee machines is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a coffee funnel for a coffee machine. Through the structural design of a first handle, a limiting groove, a second handle, a circular groove, and a water distribution component, the user can easily remove the second handle when receiving coffee powder, thereby avoiding the obstruction caused by the water distribution component when the user's hand is holding the first handle of the funnel. This improves the convenience and comfort of the user's operation and solves the problem that the secondary water distribution mesh installation mechanism located on the handle would cause inconvenience to the user when holding the funnel handle.

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

[0006] This utility model is a coffee funnel for a coffee machine, including a funnel shell, a first handle, a second handle, and a filtering mechanism. The first handle is fixed to the outer wall of the funnel shell, and a limiting groove is formed on the outer wall of the first handle. A circular groove is formed at one end of the second handle, and a limiting strip is fixed to the inner wall of the circular groove. When the circular groove is inserted and engaged with the first handle, the end of the first handle is magnetically engaged with one end of the inner wall of the circular groove. A water distribution component is rotatably installed on the second handle, and the filtering mechanism is placed in the inner cavity of the funnel shell.

[0007] Furthermore, a ring is fixed in the inner cavity of the funnel shell, and the bottom of the funnel shell has a liquid outlet hole that communicates with the inner cavity of the funnel shell.

[0008] Furthermore, the filtration mechanism includes a first filter cylinder and a second filter cylinder. The top of the outer wall of the first filter cylinder is fixed with an annular convex edge, and a first magnet is embedded in the annular convex edge.

[0009] The second filter cartridge has an annular groove. When the second filter cartridge is located inside the first filter cartridge, the annular convex edge and the annular groove are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0010] Furthermore, the cross-sectional projections of both the first and second filter cylinders are "T" shaped. When the first filter cylinder overlaps the support ring, there is a gap between the outer wall of the first filter cylinder and the inner cavity of the funnel shell, and there is a gap between the outer wall of the second filter cylinder and the inner wall of the first filter cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, a second magnet is embedded in the outer wall of the end of the first handle away from the funnel shell.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This invention, through its structural design of a first handle, a limiting groove, a second handle, a circular groove, and a water distribution component, allows users to easily remove the second handle when receiving coffee grounds. This avoids the obstruction caused by the water distribution component when the user's hand is holding the first handle of the funnel, improving the convenience and comfort of operation. It effectively reduces the risk of coffee grounds spilling due to unstable handling, reduces cleaning costs and material waste, and allows users to quickly install or disassemble the water distribution component according to actual usage, meeting different coffee making needs and enhancing the flexibility of coffee funnel use.

[0014] This utility model, through the structural design of the support ring, the first filter cylinder, and the second filter cylinder, allows for two filtration operations of coffee liquid during use, improving the removal rate of coffee residue and the filtration effect of coffee liquid. At the same time, the first and second filter cylinders can be removed, disassembled, and cleaned simultaneously, improving the convenience of cleaning.

[0015] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a coffee funnel for a coffee machine, including a funnel shell 1, a first handle 2, a second handle 3 and a filter mechanism 5. The first handle 2 is fixed to the outer wall of the funnel shell 1, and a limiting groove 20 is formed on the outer wall of the first handle 2.

[0024] A circular groove 30 is provided at one end of the second handle 3. A limiting strip 31 is fixed to the inner wall of the circular groove 30. The limiting strip 31 is elongated. When the circular groove 30 is inserted and engaged with the first handle 2, the end of the first handle 2 is magnetically engaged with one end of the inner wall of the circular groove 30. A second magnet is embedded in the outer wall of the end of the first handle 2 away from the funnel shell 1. One end of the inner wall of the circular groove 30 has a circular iron piece adapted to the second magnet to complete the magnetic engagement. A water-dividing component 4 is rotatably installed on the second handle 3.

[0025] The water distribution component 4 includes a fixed plate and a secondary water distribution network. The assembly method of the secondary water distribution network and the fixed plate is the same as that of the prior art. At the same time, the relevant structure of the water distribution component 4 rotating on the second handle 3 is the same as the composition structure of the rotating component in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0026] The shape and size of the limiting groove 20 match the limiting strip 31 on the second handle 3. When the second handle 3 is inserted into the first handle 2, the limiting strip 31 can be accurately embedded in the limiting groove 20, which plays the role of positioning and preventing the second handle 3 from rotating.

[0027] The filter mechanism 5 is placed in the inner cavity of the funnel shell 1. The filter mechanism 5 includes a first filter cylinder 50 and a second filter cylinder 51. The top of the outer wall of the first filter cylinder 50 is fixed with an annular protrusion 501, and a first magnet is embedded in the annular protrusion 501.

[0028] The second filter cylinder 51 has an annular groove 511. When the second filter cylinder 51 is located inside the first filter cylinder 50, the annular protrusion 501 and the annular groove 511 are magnetically attracted to each other. The annular groove 511 contains an annular metal sheet, such as an iron sheet, that is magnetically attracted to the first magnet.

[0029] The cross-sectional projections of the first filter cylinder 50 and the second filter cylinder 51 are both "T" shaped. When the first filter cylinder 50 is attached to the support ring 10, there is a gap between the outer wall of the first filter cylinder 50 and the inner cavity of the funnel shell 1, and there is a gap between the outer wall of the second filter cylinder 51 and the inner wall of the first filter cylinder 50.

[0030] The second filter cylinder 51 is placed into the first filter cylinder 50, so that the annular protrusion 501 on the first filter cylinder 50 and the annular groove 511 on the second filter cylinder 51 are tightly engaged by magnetic attraction, thus completing the assembly of the filter mechanism 5. Then, the assembled filter mechanism 5 is placed into the funnel shell 1, so that the first filter cylinder 50 overlaps on the support ring 10. At this time, a flow channel for coffee liquid is formed between the outer wall of the first filter cylinder 50 and the inner cavity of the funnel shell 1, and between the outer wall of the second filter cylinder 51 and the inner wall of the first filter cylinder 50.

[0031] A ring 10 is fixed in the inner cavity of the funnel shell 1. The ring 10 is circular. The bottom of the funnel shell 1 has a liquid outlet hole that communicates with the inner cavity of the funnel shell 1. The outlet hole is used to discharge the extracted coffee liquid. The funnel shell 1 is made of food-grade stainless steel. This material has good corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and strength. It can withstand the high temperature and pressure during the coffee extraction process without adversely affecting the taste and quality of the coffee. The inner wall of the funnel shell 1 is finely polished, with a smooth surface that does not easily retain coffee grounds and is easy to clean.

[0032] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
