Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of high-pressure coffee machines, and in particular to a coffee powder dispensing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In coffee making equipment, the design of the coffee cartridge is crucial to the coffee making process and subsequent cleaning. Currently, in common coffee cartridges, the coffee grounds are often difficult to detach after brewing. This is mainly due to the inadequate structural design of existing coffee cartridges. During the coffee making process, the coffee grounds are subjected to liquid rinsing and pressure, causing them to adhere tightly to the inner surface of the cartridge.

[0003] On the one hand, from a cleaning perspective, the difficulty in removing coffee pouches causes significant inconvenience for users. Users typically need to use additional tools, such as spoons or bamboo skewers, to manually scoop the pouches out of the coffee container, which is not only cumbersome but also easily makes a mess. If not cleaned promptly, the remaining pouches may also breed bacteria, affecting the hygiene of the next coffee brewing.

[0004] On the other hand, from the perspective of coffee carton lifespan, the forced cleaning of coffee grounds may cause scratches and wear to the inside of the carton. This is especially true for coffee cartons made of relatively fragile materials, such as plastic; scratches can lead to abrasions on the inner walls, affecting the carton's seal and durability. Over time, this can cause leaks and reduce the overall performance of the device.

[0005] Furthermore, existing coffee caddies often fail to adequately consider the ease of coffee grounds dislodging in their design, focusing more on the brewing process and neglecting the crucial post-brewing cleaning. This forces users to confront the frustrating problem of cleaning up the coffee grounds after enjoying the process, thus lowering overall satisfaction with the coffee-making experience.

[0006] In view of this, the designer of this utility model, in order to solve the above problems, has deeply conceived and actively researched, improved and tested, and developed this utility model. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a coffee powder detachment mechanism of this embodiment includes a brewing inner box 1, a filter assembly 2, an assembly spring 3, a water outlet 4, a button 5, and a button spring 6.

[0024] The inner brewing box 1 has a brewing cavity 11 with an open top surface, and the bottom surface of the brewing cavity 11 is provided with a brewing outlet 12 and a movable opening 13 that penetrate downward through the bottom of the inner brewing box 1.

[0025] The filter assembly 2 is movably installed at the bottom of the brewing chamber 11. The bottom of the filter assembly 2 has a liquid outlet 21 located at the brewing outlet 12 and a movable column 22 that can be inserted into the movable port 13. The liquid outlet 21 and the movable column 22 are located at the periphery of the filter assembly 2.

[0026] The component spring 3 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the movable column 22. One end of the component spring 3 abuts against the bottom surface of the inner brewing box 1, and the other end abuts against the radially outward protruding flange 221 at the lower end of the movable column 22. The component spring 3 provides elastic force to maintain the downward movement tendency of the mounting column and the filter component 2.

[0027] The water outlet 4 is installed below the brewing inner box 1, and forms an independent water outlet cavity 41 and a movable cavity 42 between the water outlet cavity 41 and the brewing inner box 1. The water outlet cavity 41 is connected to the brewing outlet 12. The lower end of the movable column 22 is located in the movable cavity 42. The bottom surface of the water outlet cavity 41 is provided with a water outlet 43.

[0028] The button 5 is horizontally reciprocatingly mounted on the side wall opening 44 of the water outlet 4. The outer end of the button 5 extends out of the side wall opening 44 of the water outlet 4 to form a pressing part 51. The inner end of the button 5 extends into the movable cavity 42 and forms a top abutment 52. The top abutment 52 is close to the lower end of the movable column 22. When the top abutment 52 moves inward, it lifts the movable column 22. Specifically, a top abutment slope 521 can be provided on the upper side of the top abutment 52 to facilitate lifting.

[0029] The button spring 6 is installed between the water outlet 4 and the button 5 to provide elastic force for the button 5 to move outward.

[0030] Therefore, the structure of this embodiment can be installed in a fully automatic high-pressure coffee machine (not shown). The top surface of the brewing chamber 11 of the brewing inner box 1 is open to receive the ground coffee powder, and the brewing head (not shown) is used to brew the coffee powder in the brewing chamber 11. The filter assembly 2 is used to filter the coffee liquid. The coffee liquid can flow out along the liquid outlet 21 through the brewing outlet 12, the water outlet 41 and the water outlet 43. The remaining coffee powder after brewing is usually adsorbed between the top of the filter assembly 2 and the inner wall of the brewing chamber 11 due to pressure.

[0031] The filter assembly 2 in this embodiment is a structure that can move up and down. After brewing, the structure of this embodiment can be removed from the coffee machine. By pressing the pressing part 51 of the button 5 inward, the top 52 of the button 5 moves inward. At the same time, the abutting slope 521 of the top 52 moves inward horizontally and abuts the movable column 22 of the filter assembly 2, causing it to move upward along the movable opening 13. This drives the filter assembly 2 to move upward as a whole, thereby pushing the fixed powder cake upward, thus releasing the fixed state between the powder cake and the inner wall of the brewing chamber 11. Afterward, the structure of this embodiment can be easily inverted to pour the powder cake out from the opening of the brewing inner box 1.

[0032] After the coffee powder is poured out, release button 5. Button spring 6 pushes button 5 to move outward and reset. The movable column 22, without the push of button 5 against top 52, will also move down and reset to its initial state under the action of component spring 3, so as to facilitate the next coffee brewing.

[0033] In this embodiment, the brewing chamber 11 is a frustum-shaped structure with a smaller bottom and a larger top, that is, the brewing chamber 11 has a conical inner wall. When the powder cake is slightly lifted, it can be disconnected from the inner wall of the brewing chamber 11 and can be easily poured out.

[0034] In this embodiment, the middle part of the brewing inner box 1 is also provided with a downwardly extending mounting groove 14, and the bottom of the mounting groove 14 has a downwardly penetrating mounting hole 141; the bottom of the filter assembly 2 has a mounting post 23 that can be movably inserted into the mounting groove 14, and the bottom of the mounting post 23 has a mounting rod 231 that can be movably inserted into the mounting hole 141.

[0035] By having the mounting post 23 and mounting rod 231, which are centrally located at the bottom of the filter assembly 2, cooperate with the mounting groove 14 and mounting hole 141 respectively, the installation and fixing effect of the filter assembly 2 can be improved, and the balance of the filter assembly 2 when moving up and down can also be improved, avoiding jamming when moving up and down due to unilateral force at the movable post 22.

[0036] In this embodiment, the lower end of the movable column 22 can be locked with a movable column screw 222, and the outer edge of the head of the movable column screw 222 can be used as the flange 221; and the outer diameter of the head of the movable column screw 222 should be greater than the outer diameter of the movable column 22 and the inner diameter of the movable opening 13, so as to facilitate the installation of the component spring 3 and prevent the movable column 22 from disengaging upward from the movable opening 13.

[0037] Meanwhile, the bottom surface of the head of the movable column screw 222 can be spherical to facilitate upward movement in conjunction with the inclined surface 521.

[0038] In this embodiment, the bottom of the button 5 is hollow, and the side opening 44 of the water outlet 4 has a baffle 441 that extends into the hollow area 53 at the bottom of the button 5. One end of the button spring 6 abuts against the baffle 441, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the hollow area 53 at the bottom of the button 5 near the pressing part 51. Thus, when the pressing part 51 is compressed, the button spring 6 is squeezed; when the pressing part 51 is released, the button spring 6 returns to its original position and pushes out of the pressing part 51.

[0039] In this embodiment, a cylindrical outer support 7 can be fitted and fixed around the outer periphery of the inner brewing box 1. The top of the inner brewing box 1 has a radially protruding outer edge 15. There is a snap-fit ​​groove 151 between the outer edge 15 and the top surface of the outer support 7. The snap-fit ​​groove 151 can be used to facilitate the installation and fixation of the structure of this embodiment and the automatic coffee machine.

[0040] The water outlet 4 can be funnel-shaped, including a water outlet body 45 and a fixed bracket 46. The fixed bracket 46 is snapped into a side opening 451 provided on the outer peripheral wall of the water outlet body 45. The side opening 451 is connected to the movable cavity 42 of the water outlet 4. The top of the fixed bracket 46 and the bottom of the outer bracket 7 cooperate to form a snap-fit ​​interface 71. The snap-fit ​​interface 71 can be used to snap-fit ​​the inner end of the handle 8. The outer end of the handle 8 extends outward to facilitate gripping and movement.

[0041] The outlet 43 is provided at the funnel-shaped bottom of the water outlet body 45; the side wall opening 44 of the water outlet 4 can be provided on the fixed bracket 46, and the corresponding baffle 441 can also be formed in the fixed bracket 46.

[0042] In this embodiment, the water outlet 4 can be locked and fixed to the bottom of the brewing inner box 1 by two connecting screws 47.

[0043] In this embodiment, the outer bracket 7 and the water outlet 4 may also be fitted with a funnel-shaped protective member 9. One side of the protective member 9 has a clearance notch 91, which allows the handle 8 and the button 5 to extend out. The protective member 9 can serve both protective and decorative purposes.

[0044] In this embodiment, the filter assembly 2 may include a baffle 24, a filter screen 25, and a bubbler 26.

[0045] The top surface of the cover plate 24 is recessed to form a filter groove 241, and the filter screen 25 is detachably locked and fixed above the filter groove 241 of the cover plate 24. Specifically, a number of support columns 242 can be provided in the filter groove 241 to support the filter screen 25. The filter screen 25 can be provided with a filter screen mounting hole 251 in the middle, and the cover plate 24 is provided with a cover plate screw hole 243 in the middle. The filter screen 25 can be fixed by passing the filter screen screw 252 through the filter screen mounting hole 251 and locking it with the cover plate screw hole 243.

[0046] The bottom of the baffle 24 forms the liquid outlet 21, the movable column 22 and the mounting column 23. The liquid outlet 21 is connected to the filter tank 241 upwards, and the movable column 22 and the mounting column 23 protrude downwards respectively. The aerator 26 can be made of silicone and is installed in the liquid outlet 21 from top to bottom and is fixed by the filter screen 25.

[0047] Therefore, by utilizing the above-mentioned filter component 2 structure, the filter screen 25 can be disassembled and cleaned, and the bubbler 26 can reduce the cross-sectional area of ​​the coffee liquid channel, thereby increasing the brewing pressure and increasing the impact force of the coffee liquid flowing out, thus generating tiny and dense bubbles to improve the taste of the coffee.
