Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee grinders, specifically a coffee handle support mechanism for a coffee grinder. Background Technology

[0002] A coffee grinder is an electrical appliance that can prepare coffee powder on its own. It includes a body with a grinding chamber and a bean hopper for storing coffee. The grinding chamber is equipped with a grinding device for grinding coffee beans. The bean hopper can supply coffee beans to the grinding chamber, where the grinding device grinds the coffee beans into powder to form coffee powder. The coffee powder is then discharged from the powder outlet channel on the side of the grinding chamber to the outside of the machine body and collected by the coffee portafilter.

[0003] Coffee grinders typically have a holder for the portafilter below the powder outlet. The portafilter rests on the holder to catch the falling coffee grounds. However, the portafilter funnels on the market vary in size and height, resulting in different distances between the funnel and the powder outlet. If the distance is too large or too small, the coffee grounds will not be caught correctly, leading to leakage. This not only wastes coffee grounds but also prevents accurate metering of coffee. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a coffee handle support mechanism for a coffee grinder.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] A coffee handle support mechanism for a coffee grinder includes a body and a powder outlet located on the side of the body. Below the powder outlet is a support bracket for mounting the coffee handle. The body contains a sliding mechanism comprising a sliding plate and a track plate. The track plate is fixed to the inner wall of the body, forming a track groove for sliding the sliding plate. A vertically arranged through-slot is also provided on the side wall of the body where the track plate is mounted. A mounting post on the sliding plate extends through the through-slot to the outside of the body and connects to the support bracket. A locking mechanism is provided between the sliding plate and the track plate. The body also contains an unlocking mechanism that can control the locking mechanism to be in a locked first state and an unlocked second state. In the second state, the sliding plate can slide within the track groove, causing the support bracket to rise and fall to adjust its position. In the first state, the sliding plate is fixed within the track groove.

[0007] The locking mechanism includes multiple slots arranged vertically on the sliding plate and elastic buckles arranged on the track plate. The elastic buckles can elastically extend and retract to abut against or move away from the slots. When the elastic buckles abut against and are engaged in the slots, the locking mechanism is in a first state. When the elastic buckles move away from the slots, the locking mechanism is in a second state.

[0008] The elastic buckle is provided with a push-pull arm, and the unlocking mechanism includes a button arranged on the side wall of the body and a push rod driven by the button. One end of the push rod abuts against the button, and the other end is provided with a push ramp. The push-pull arm of the elastic buckle is provided with an inclined surface that cooperates with the push ramp. When the button drives the push rod to move horizontally, the elastic buckle is moved away from the slot by the cooperation of the push ramp and the inclined surface, thereby achieving the second state of the locking mechanism.

[0009] The track plate forms a mounting base for installing elastic buckles. The mounting base includes a hinge seat and an abutment seat. The elastic buckle includes a buckle part, a mounting post, a push-pull arm, and a hinge arm. The hinge seat is located below the abutment seat. The hinge arm is hinged to the hinge seat. A spring is mounted on the mounting post and abuts against the abutment seat. The buckle part is arranged at the other end of the mounting post facing away from the spring and passes into the track groove to cooperate with the buckle groove. The push-pull arm is arranged on the side of the buckle part and cooperates with the push rod.

[0010] The support bracket includes a base plate and a back plate. The back plate has mounting holes for connecting to mounting columns. The base plate has a locking position for locking the bottom of the coffee handle funnel. The back plate can also have a hook plate with an open top of the coffee handle funnel. The hook plate cooperates with the locking position to clamp the coffee handle funnel between the hook plate and the base plate.

[0011] The mounting hole consists of two parallel and through holes, with the diameter of the lower hole being larger than that of the upper hole, and the diameter of the upper hole matching the diameter of the mounting post.

[0012] The mounting post has an end cap at its end, the diameter of which is larger than that of the mounting post but smaller than that of the lower hole of the mounting hole.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the support bracket of the coffee grinder can be freely adjusted up and down to match coffee handles of different sizes, so that the coffee handle can receive the coffee powder falling from the powder outlet at the optimal height position to reduce the phenomenon of powder leakage.

Below the powder outlet 11 is a support bracket 3 for mounting a coffee handle 2. The body 1 contains a sliding mechanism 4, which includes a sliding plate 41 and a track plate 42. The track plate 42 is fixed to the inner wall of the body 1 and forms a track groove 43 for slidingly mounting the sliding plate 41. A vertically arranged through slot 12 is also provided on the side wall of the body 1 where the track plate 42 is mounted. A mounting post 44 on the sliding plate 41 passes through the through slot 12 to the outside of the body 1 and is connected to the support bracket 3. The sliding plate 41 and... A locking mechanism 5 is provided between the track plates 42, and an unlocking mechanism 6 is also provided inside the machine body 1 to control the locking mechanism 5 to be in a locked first state and an unlocked second state. When the locking mechanism 5 is in the second state, the sliding plate 41 can slide in the track groove 43 to drive the support bracket 3 to rise and fall to adjust its position, thereby adjusting the height of the coffee handle 2 funnel to match coffee handles 2 of different sizes, so that the coffee handle 2 can receive the coffee powder discharged from the powder outlet 11 at the optimal height position. When the locking mechanism 5 is in the first state, the sliding plate 41 is fixed in the track groove 43 to determine the current size of the coffee handle 2 in use.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the locking mechanism 5 includes a plurality of slots 51 arranged vertically on the sliding plate 41 and elastic buckles 52 arranged on the track plate 42. Each slot 51 constitutes a first-level height position. The elastic buckles 52 can elastically extend and retract to abut or move away from the slots 51. When the elastic buckles 52 abut and are inserted into the slots 51, the locking mechanism 5 is in a first state that fixes the sliding plate 41. When the elastic buckles 52 move away from the slots 51, the locking mechanism 5 is in a second state that unlocks the sliding plate 41.

[0022] The elastic buckle 52 is provided with a push-pull arm 53. The unlocking mechanism 6 includes a button 61 arranged on the side wall of the body 1 and a push rod 62 driven by the button 61. One end of the push rod 62 abuts against the button 61, and the other end is provided with a push ramp 63. The push-pull arm 53 of the elastic buckle 52 is provided with an inclined surface 54 that cooperates with the push ramp 63. When the button 61 drives the push rod 62 to move horizontally, the elastic buckle 52 moves away from the slot 51 through the cooperation of the push ramp 63 and the inclined surface 54, thereby achieving the second state of the locking mechanism 5. Specifically, a mounting base for installing an elastic buckle 52 is formed on the track plate 42. The mounting base includes a hinge seat 46 and an abutment seat 45. The elastic buckle 52 includes a buckle part 55, a mounting post 56, a push-pull arm 53, and a hinge arm 57. The hinge seat 46 is located below the abutment seat 45. The hinge arm 57 is hinged to the hinge seat 46. A spring 58 is mounted on the mounting post 56 and abuts against the abutment seat 45. The buckle part 55 is arranged at the other end of the mounting post 56 facing away from the spring 58 and passes into the track groove 43 to cooperate with the slot 51. The push-pull arm 53 is arranged on the side of the buckle part 55 and cooperates with the push rod 62. That is, the button 61 is arranged on the left or right side of the body 1. The user can adjust the height of the support bracket 3 by pressing the button 61 from the side.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment, the support bracket 3 includes a base plate 31 and a back plate 32. The back plate 32 is provided with a mounting hole 33 for connecting to the mounting post 44. The base plate 31 forms a locking position 34 for locking the bottom of the coffee handle 2 funnel. The back plate 32 can also hook a hook plate 35 for hooking the top opening of the coffee handle 2 funnel. The hook plate 35 cooperates with the locking position 34 to clamp the coffee handle 2 funnel between the hook plate 35 and the base plate 31. That is, the base plate 31 supports the coffee handle 2 funnel and limits the funnel spout part at the bottom of the coffee handle 2 funnel through the locking position 34, while the hook plate 35 hooks the edge of the top opening of the coffee handle 2 funnel to hold the coffee handle 2 in place, thereby cooperating with the locking position 34 to limit the coffee handle 2 and install it on the support bracket 3. The support bracket 3 and the mounting post 44 can be detachable. To facilitate the removal of the support bracket 3, the mounting hole 33 consists of two parallel and through holes, with the diameter of the lower hole 331 being larger than that of the upper hole 332. The diameter of the upper hole 332 matches the diameter of the mounting post 44. The end cap of the mounting post 44 is larger than the diameter of the mounting post 44 but smaller than that of the lower hole 331 of the mounting hole 33. That is, the mounting post 44 is inserted through the lower hole 331 and then moved down to fit into the upper hole 332, thus completing the installation and removal of the support bracket 3.
