Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee filtration technology, and more specifically, to a filtration device for coffee equipment. Background Technology
[0002] As one of the world's most popular beverages, coffee's refined and diversified production processes have driven technological innovation in coffee equipment. Among these innovations, the filter, as a core component of coffee extraction, directly affects the taste, flavor purity, and production efficiency of coffee. From traditional hand-brewing to modern intelligent equipment, the evolution of the filter reflects coffee culture's dual pursuit of quality and convenience. The concept of coffee filtration can be traced back to the early 19th century, when coffee grounds and liquid were separated using filter cloth. However, due to its cumbersome operation, it failed to become widespread. Later, paper coffee filters were invented, and a funnel-shaped filter cup was designed to accompany them, pioneering modern filtered coffee. This technology effectively removes fine grounds and oils from coffee powder through the physical barrier of the filter paper, making the extract clearer and the flavor layers more distinct.
[0003] While existing funnel-shaped filter cup structures can achieve filtration, their overall structural strength is poor in actual use. They are easily deformed when squeezed, making it difficult for the filter device to fit the original filter chamber inside the coffee equipment. Furthermore, most funnel-shaped filter cups are single-layer filter structures, lacking zoned filtration for impurities of different particle sizes. This causes impurities to accumulate on the same filter screen, leading to clogging and increased cleaning frequency. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a filtration device for coffee equipment.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a filter device for coffee equipment, comprising an outer cylinder, a limiting ring for stably supporting the outer cylinder within the coffee equipment being provided at the top of the outer cylinder, an inner cylinder being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder, a filter core assembly being connected inside the inner cylinder, and a limiting protrusion for supporting the bottom of the filter core assembly being provided at the bottom of the inner cylinder, the filter core assembly comprising an upper funnel body, a filter cylinder, and a lower funnel body, the upper funnel body and the lower funnel body being respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the filter cylinder.
[0006] As a further improvement to the technical solution of this utility model, the top of the upper funnel body is provided with an upper ring, and the two outer walls of the upper ring are symmetrically provided with two rubber protrusions that are embedded in the inner wall of the inner cylinder. The two inner walls of the inner cylinder body are provided with slots for embedding the rubber protrusions.
[0007] As a further improvement to the technical solution of this utility model, the outer surfaces of both the upper and lower ends of the filter cylinder are provided with external threads, and the bottom of the upper funnel body is provided with a first connecting ring connected to the top of the filter cylinder. The inner surface of the first connecting ring is provided with an internal thread that matches the external thread structure.
[0008] As a further improvement to the technical solution of this utility model, the top of the lower funnel body is provided with a second connecting body connected to the bottom of the filter cylinder, and the inner surface of the second connecting body is provided with an internal thread matching the external thread structure.
[0009] As a further improvement to the technical solution of this utility model, the inner walls of the upper and lower ends of the filter cylinder are respectively provided with a first filter screen and a second filter screen. The first filter screen is located inside the first connecting ring, and the second filter screen is located inside the second connecting body.
[0010] As a further improvement to the technical solution of this utility model, the pore size of the first filter screen is larger than that of the second filter screen.
[0011] As a further improvement to the technical solution of this utility model, a lower end ring is provided at the bottom of the lower funnel body, and a third filter screen is provided on the inner wall of the lower end ring.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The filter device designed in this utility model adopts a double-layer structure of inner and outer cylinders to improve structural strength and prevent deformation and damage. The limiting ring at the top of the outer cylinder is used to stably support the coffee equipment. By setting the filter core assembly, it can be disassembled and assembled on the inner wall of the inner cylinder as needed. The bottom of the filter core assembly is supported by the limiting protrusion, and the top of the filter core assembly is fixed and snapped on the inner cylinder by the set flexible rubber protrusion, thereby maintaining relative assembly stability. The rubber protrusion adopts a semi-circular structure, which makes it easy to remove by applying upward force during subsequent disassembly and assembly. 2. The filter element assembly adopts an assembled splicing structure and has a multi-stage filtration structure. The mesh size of the filter screen gradually decreases from top to bottom, which can achieve a more precise multi-stage filtration effect. After filtration, remove the filter element assembly upwards and rotate the upper and lower funnels to separate them from the upper and lower ends of the filter cylinder. This makes it easy for users to clean the filter screen. The double-funnel filtration structure ensures that the liquid flowing in from above is swirled into the filter element assembly through the inner wall of the funnel, thus avoiding the problem of blockage caused by direct liquid flow through the filter screen.

[0023] Working principle: This utility model designs a filtration device for coffee equipment, the specific structure of which is shown in the attached instruction manual. Figure 1-6 As shown, in this technical solution, the designed filter device adopts a double-layer structure of inner and outer cylinders, which improves structural strength and makes it less prone to deformation and damage.

The filter element assembly 4 adopts an assembled splicing structure and has a multi-stage filtration structure. The mesh size of the filter screen gradually decreases from top to bottom, which can achieve a more precise multi-stage filtration effect. After filtration, the filter element assembly 4 is removed upwards, and the upper funnel body 401 and the lower funnel body 405 are rotated to separate them from the upper and lower ends of the filter cylinder 404, so that the user can easily clean the filter screen. The double-funnel filtration structure ensures that the liquid flowing in from above is kept swirling into the interior of the filter element assembly 4 on the inner wall of the funnel, thus avoiding the problem of blockage caused by direct liquid flowing through the filter screen.
