[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 Figures 1-4This utility model relates to a detachable metal brewing head structure for a coffee machine, comprising a mounting ring 1 and a brewing head 2. The mounting ring 1 is provided with a mounting mechanism, and a positioning mechanism and an assembly mechanism are provided between the mounting ring 1 and the brewing head 2. The assembly mechanism includes an assembly box 3 and an inclined groove 4. The inclined groove 4 is formed on both sides of the brewing head 2. The assembly box 3 is installed on the outside of the mounting ring 1. A fastening groove is formed inside the assembly box 3, and guide grooves are formed on both sides of the fastening groove. Fastening holes are formed between the guide grooves and the inner walls of the mounting ring 1. A bidirectional lead screw 5 is provided on the fastening groove, and bearing seats 6 are provided at both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 5. A guide plate 7 is provided on the guide groove, and a screw is formed on the guide plate 7. The threaded hole is formed by the bidirectional lead screw 5 passing through it. An inclined block 8 is provided between the guide plate 7 and the fastening hole. An adjustment box 9 is provided on one side of the assembly box 3. An adjustment shaft 17 is provided inside the adjustment box 9 and extends to both sides of the adjustment box 9. Gears 10 are provided on both the bidirectional lead screw 5 and the adjustment shaft 17 and are meshed together. In this embodiment, the mounting ring 1 is mounted on the brewing position of the coffee machine via an installation mechanism. When the brewing head 2 is mounted on the mounting ring 1, the operator places the filter screen, filter cup, etc., as needed, using brewing auxiliary tools. The bottom of the brewing head 2 in the accompanying drawings is where the filter cup is mounted. The filter cup and filter screen are existing technologies, and their installation and adaptation with the brewing head 2 are also based on existing technologies. These will not be described in detail in this structure. The mounting ring 1 has a ring structure, which facilitates the coffee brewing device within the mounting ring 1 and the flow of brewed coffee. When the brewing head 2 needs to be assembled onto the mounting ring 1, the positioning mechanism positions the brewing head 2 on the inner wall of the mounting ring 1, thereby aligning the inclined grooves 4 on both sides of the brewing head 2 with the inclined blocks 8 of the corresponding two fastening holes. Then, the operator rotates the adjusting shaft 17 of the adjusting box 9, and the gear 10 of the adjusting shaft 17 meshes with the gear 10 of the double-acting screw 5, allowing the double-acting screw 5 to rotate stably through the bearing seat 6. The double-acting screw 5 passes through the threaded holes of the guide plates 7 in the two guide grooves, allowing the two guide plates 7 to move linearly in the guide grooves. Through the double-acting threads of the double-acting screw 5, the two guide plates 7 can move linearly in opposite directions. When the two guide plates 7 move closer together, they cause the inclined block 8 to move linearly. The inclined block 8 contacts and abuts against the inclined groove 4, thus fixing the brewing head 2 and achieving quick assembly and fixation. The upward thrust generated by the inclined block 8 and the inclined groove 4 ensures that the brewing head 2 is firmly and stably fixed on the mounting ring 1, facilitating the use of the brewing head 2 to filter coffee. By rotating the adjusting shaft 17 in the opposite direction, the inclined block 8 can be moved in the opposite direction, leaving the inclined block 8 away from the inclined groove 4, allowing the brewing head 2 to be quickly removed for easy cleaning of the filter screen, filter cup, and other tools placed on the brewing head 2. This facilitates the cleaning, maintenance, or replacement of the brewing head 2. The bidirectional lead screw 5 synchronously drives the two guide plates 7, so that the inclined block 8 is symmetrically stressed, forming a stable locking effect with the inclined surface of the inclined groove 4.To avoid loosening due to vibration during brewing.

[0024] To facilitate the assembly and fixing of the mounting ring 1, in this design, the mounting mechanism includes a mounting block 11. The mounting block 11 is installed on the outer top end of the mounting ring 1, and the mounting block 11 has mounting holes 12. Multiple mounting blocks 11 are arranged in a circular array. Through the circular array of mounting blocks 11 and mounting holes 12, the mounting ring 1 is fixed to the corresponding position on the coffee machine using bolts or other connecting components. Multiple evenly distributed fixing points distribute the force. The multiple circular array of mounting blocks 11 ensures that the fixing force between the mounting ring 1 and the coffee machine is even, avoiding tilting or loosening caused by unilateral force.

[0025] To facilitate the positioning and insertion of the brewing head 2 onto the mounting ring 1, in this design, the positioning mechanism includes a positioning post 13 and a positioning groove 14. The positioning groove 14 is formed at the bottom of the inner wall of the mounting ring 1, and the positioning post 13 is installed on the outer side of the brewing head 2. During assembly, the positioning post 13 of the brewing head 2 is inserted into the positioning groove 14 of the mounting ring 1. The cooperation between the positioning post 13 and the positioning groove 14 restricts their radial or circumferential relative displacement, achieving initial positioning. This provides a visual guide for assembly, reduces alignment difficulties during assembly, and improves operational efficiency. After initial positioning, the shaking of the brewing head 2 can be temporarily restricted, facilitating subsequent fastening operations of the assembly mechanism.

[0026] To further facilitate the positioning of the brewing head 2, in this design, two positioning mechanisms are provided and symmetrically arranged. The two symmetrically distributed positioning mechanisms position the brewing head 2 and the mounting ring 1 from both sides, forming a two-point limit, further restricting circumferential rotation or radial displacement.

[0027] To improve the stability of the linear movement of the guide plate 7, in this solution, a slide bar 15 is provided on the guide groove, and a sliding groove is opened on the outer side of the guide plate 7. The slide bar 15 passes through the sliding groove, and the slide bar 15 and the sliding groove form a sliding fit, which forcibly constrains the movement direction of the guide plate 7, ensuring that the guide plate 7 only moves linearly along the axial direction of the guide groove, and avoids it from rotating or deviating under the drive of the bidirectional lead screw 5.

[0028] To facilitate the rotation of the adjustment shaft 17, in this design, the two ends of the adjustment shaft 17 are provided with screw blocks 16. The screw blocks 16 increase the contact area of ​​the operating end of the adjustment shaft 17, making it easier for the user to drive the adjustment shaft 17 to rotate by manually rotating the screw blocks 16, and the adjustment can be completed without additional tools.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
