Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grinding machine technology, and in particular to grinding cylinder and grinding machine. Background Technology

[0002] A grinder, such as a coffee grinder or coffee machine, typically includes a grinding drum and a hopper located at the top of the drum. The hopper holds the material, such as coffee beans, and has an outlet at the bottom that connects to the inlet of the grinding drum, allowing the material to enter. The grinding drum is the main component of the grinder, responsible for grinding the incoming material into powder. It is the main component of a coffee grinder or coffee grinder-type coffee machine, responsible for grinding the coffee beans entering the grinding module into coffee powder.

[0003] Currently, the grinding module can be removed from the bottom of the grinding cylinder for cleaning, and the hopper can also be detached from the grinding cylinder. The hopper's lower outlet usually has a self-locking mechanism to prevent spillage. However, when the grinding cylinder is removed from the bottom of the coffee machine for cleaning, even if the outlet at the bottom of the hopper is locked, material may still remain in the channel within the grinding cylinder between the hopper and the grinding module. This causes spillage when the grinding module is removed, resulting in unnecessary waste of coffee beans and inconvenience in disassembling and cleaning the grinding module.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0024] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0025] First embodiment: This embodiment discloses a grinding cylinder.

[0026] The grinding cylinder includes a shell 1, a cover 2, and a rotating plate 3.

[0027] Figure 1 This is an isometric view of the grinding machine of this utility model. Figure 1 As shown, the shell 1 is a hollow structure. Specifically, the shell 1 is a cylindrical body 22 with an opening at the lower end, and a top plate 11 is provided at the upper end of the shell 1.

[0028] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of the grinding machine of this utility model. (See image below.) Figure 2 As shown, the cover 2 is located at the upper end of the housing 1, and the cover 2 includes a cylindrical body 22 and a feed inlet 21. The cylindrical body 22 is located at the lower end of the cover 2, passing through and extending into the housing 1. The feed inlet 21 is located on the cover 2. Figure 3 This is an axonometric view of the rotating blade in the grinding cylinder of this utility model from a first-view perspective. Figure 3 As shown, the rotating plate 3 is sleeved on the outside of the cylinder 22 and snapped between the cover 2 and the cylinder 22. A first through hole 31 is opened on the rotating plate 3, and the position of the first through hole 31 corresponds to the feed inlet 21. The rotating plate 3 rotates around the cylinder 22, rotating until the first through hole 31 and the feed inlet 21 at least partially overlap, so that the feed inlet 21 communicates with the inside of the shell 1, and rotating until the rotating plate 3 blocks the feed inlet 21, so that the feed inlet 21 does not communicate with the inside of the shell 1.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, exemplarily, the rotating plate 3 includes a second through hole 32. The second through hole 32 is formed in the middle of the rotating plate 3 and communicates with the first through hole 31 on its side. The cylinder 22 passes through the second through hole 32. An outer edge 231 is provided on the outer side of the cylinder 22. Figure 4 This is an axonometric view of the rotating blade in the grinding cylinder of this utility model from a second perspective. Figure 4As shown, the rotating plate 3 includes an annular groove 34, which is located at the lower end of the rotating plate 3, corresponding to the outer side of the second through hole 32. The inner side of the rotating plate 3 is engaged between the annular groove 34 and the top plate 11, restricting the axial movement of the rotating plate 3. The outer edge 231 is engaged within the annular groove 34, restricting the circumferential movement of the rotating plate 3, thus improving the stability of the rotating plate 3 during rotation. Figure 2 As shown, preferably, the lower end of the cylinder 22 is screwed to the disc 23, and the outer edge 231 is set on the outside of the disc 23. During installation, the rotating piece 3 is first inserted, and then the disc 23 is installed, which facilitates the installation, fixing and disassembly of the rotating piece 3.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a second sliding groove 12 is further formed on the outer side of the housing 1. The rotating plate 3 includes a lever 4, the inner side of which passes through the second sliding groove 12 and is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating plate 3. By moving the lever 4, the lever 4 drives the rotating plate 3 to rotate, which is convenient for user use. At the same time, the second sliding groove 12 limits the range of movement of the lever 4, preventing the user from excessively rotating the lever 4 and the rotating plate 3, which could damage the components. Figure 4 As shown, for example, the rotating plate 3 has a third through hole 33 on its side, and the lever 4 includes a knob 41 and a connecting rod 42. The inner side of the connecting rod 42 is inserted into the third through hole 33 and connected to the rotating plate 3 with a screw, and the outer side passes through the second sliding groove 12 to connect to the knob 41. The lever 4 and the rotating plate 3 are easy to install and remove.

[0031] In this embodiment, a cylinder 22 is provided at the lower end of the cover 2 of the grinding cylinder. The cylinder 22 passes through and extends into the housing 1. A rotating plate 3 is sleeved on the outside of the cylinder 22 and engaged between the cover 2 and the cylinder 22. The rotating plate 3 rotates around the cylinder 22. The first through hole 31 on the rotating plate 3 at least partially coincides with the feed inlet 21 on the cover 2, so that the feed inlet 21 is connected to the housing 1. When it is necessary to disassemble the grinding module 6, the rotating plate 3 is rotated until the rotating plate 3 blocks the feed inlet 21. At this time, the first through hole 31 is misaligned with the feed inlet 21, so that the feed inlet 21 is not connected to the inside of the housing 1. The material will not enter the grinding cylinder through the feed inlet 21, avoiding the waste caused by the material entering the grinding cylinder and affecting the disassembly and cleaning of the grinding module 6. This saves materials and is convenient to use.

[0032] Second embodiment: This embodiment discloses a grinding machine.

[0033] For example, a grinder can be a coffee grinder, a coffee maker, or a powder grinder, etc.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the grinding machine includes a grinding cylinder, a motor 5, and a grinding module 6 according to the first embodiment. The motor 5 is fixed inside the cylinder 22, and the output end of the motor 5 passes through the lower end of the cylinder 22 and extends into the housing 1. The outer side of the grinding module 6 is engaged with the lower inner side of the housing 1 to restrict the rotation of the grinding module 6 relative to the housing 1. The inner side of the grinding module 6 is engaged with the outer side of the rotating plate 3, and a blade assembly 7 is rotatably disposed inside, which is coupled to the output end of the motor 5. For example, the upper end of the blade assembly 7 is engaged with the output end of the motor 5.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, further, an inner edge 61 extending from the upper end of the grinding module 6 is provided on the inner side of the grinding module 6. The housing 1 is sleeved on the outer side of the inner edge 61 and snaps into the outer side of the inner edge 61. For example, a slot 611 is vertically opened on the outer side of the inner edge 61, and an insert is provided on the inner side of the housing 1, which is inserted into the slot 611.

[0036] Figure 5 This is an isometric view of the grinding module in the grinding machine of this utility model. Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the grinding module 6 further includes a first groove 62. The first groove 62 is formed on the inner wall of the inner edge 61. The rotating plate 3 includes a limiting block 35, which is disposed at the lower end of the rotating plate 3, inserted into the first groove 62, and can slide within the first groove 62. The first groove 62 restricts the rotation range of the rotating plate 3. When the limiting block 35 slides to one end of the first groove 62, the first through hole 31 completely overlaps with the feed inlet 21. When the limiting block 35 slides to the other end of the first groove 62, the first through hole 31 is completely offset from the feed inlet 21, and the feed inlet 21 is covered by the rotating plate 3. Specifically, there are several first grooves 62, which are circumferentially spaced on the inner wall of the housing 1. The number and position of the limiting blocks 35 correspond to the first grooves 62.

[0037] Preferably, the grinding module 6 includes a limiting strip 63. The limiting strip 63 is horizontally disposed on the inner wall of the inner edge 61, located within the first sliding groove 62. One end of the limiting strip 63 is connected to one side of the first sliding groove 62, and the other end is spaced from the other side of the first sliding groove 62. The width of the gap is greater than the width of the limiting block 35, allowing the limiting block 35 to enter and exit the first sliding groove 62 through the gap. The limiting block 35 includes a slot 351, which is formed on the outer side of the limiting block 35. The limiting strip 63 is inserted into the slot 351.

[0038] In this embodiment, when installing the grinding module 6, the grinding module 6 is inserted into the lower inner side of the housing 1. At this time, the rotating plate 3 is in a position that completely covers the feed inlet 21. The limiting block 35 of the rotating plate 3 is inserted into the interval in the first sliding groove 62. The rotating plate 3 is rotated until the first through hole 31 at least partially overlaps with the feed inlet 21. The limiting strip 63 is inserted into the slot 351 of the limiting block 35, connecting the feed inlet 21 with the inside of the housing 1 while fixing the grinding module 6, thus enabling grinding. When disassembling the grinding module 6, the rotating plate 3 is rotated to a position that covers the feed inlet 21. The limiting block 35 disengages from the slot 351 and enters the interval, and the grinding module 6 can be directly pulled out. The grinding module 6 is easy to install and disassemble, and the overall grinding machine uses fewer structural elements, has a small size, and low manufacturing cost.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model.
