Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee machine technology, and in particular to a bean hopper assembly that can remove residual beans and a coffee machine. Background Technology

[0002] In coffee machines, coffee beans are typically stored in the bean hopper. When grinding, the coffee beans in the hopper enter the grinding unit of the coffee machine, where the blades of the grinding unit grind the beans. To improve the safety of using the coffee machine, the bean hopper usually triggers the switch mechanism of the grinding unit after it is properly assembled with the coffee machine. This is the only way to start the grinding action and prevent safety hazards caused by accidental activation.

[0003] However, since the grinding component is triggered by the bean hopper, it cannot be started when the bean hopper is removed to add or replace coffee beans. During the removal of the bean hopper, some coffee beans inevitably get into the gap between the grinding component and the bean hopper, which will affect the next assembly of the bean hopper. To remove the remaining coffee beans, the entire machine needs to be inverted, or other tools need to be used to remove the coffee beans, which is quite inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0025] See Figures 1-9 This utility model discloses a bean hopper 20 component that can remove residual beans, including a bean hopper base 10, a bean hopper 20, and a cleaning cover 30. Both the bean hopper 20 and the cleaning cover 30 can be detachably connected to the bean hopper base 10. When the bean hopper 20 is assembled to the bean hopper base 10, the bean hopper 20 component is in the first usage state. When cleaning residual beans, the bean hopper 20 can be removed from the bean hopper base 10, and then the cleaning cover 30 can be assembled to the bean hopper base 10. At this time, the bean hopper 20 component is in the second usage state.

[0026] Specifically, a switch structure 13 and a first connecting part are provided on the bean hopper base 10. A first touch part and a second connecting part are provided on the bean hopper 20. In the first usage state, the bean hopper 20 is assembled onto the bean hopper base 10. The bean hopper 20 and the bean hopper base 10 can be connected through the second connecting part and the first connecting part. In this usage state, the first touch part on the bean hopper 20 can touch the switch structure 13 on the bean hopper base 10 to activate the switch structure 13.

[0027] In addition, the cleaning cover 30 is provided with a second touch part and a third connecting part. In the second use state, the bean hopper 20 is removed from the bean hopper base 10. The cleaning cover 30 and the bean hopper base 10 can be connected to the first connecting part through the third connecting part so that the cleaning cover 30 is installed on the bean hopper base 10. In this use state, the second touch part on the cleaning cover 30 can touch the switch structure 13 on the bean hopper base 10 to activate the switch structure 13.

[0028] In the above structure, when using the bean hopper 20 component of this utility model that can remove residual beans, the bean hopper seat 10 of the bean hopper 20 component can be installed on the coffee machine. The bean hopper seat 10 is installed above the bean grinding structure of the coffee machine, and the switch structure 13 on the bean hopper seat 10 is linked with the switch structure 13 of the bean grinding structure of the coffee machine.

[0029] When grinding coffee beans, coffee beans can be placed in the bean hopper 20 and then assembled onto the bean hopper base 10. The bean hopper 20 assembly is in the first usage state. During assembly, the second connecting part of the bean hopper 20 can be connected to the first connecting part of the bean hopper base 10, so that after the bean hopper 20 and the bean hopper base 10 are assembled, the first touch part of the bean hopper 20 can correspond to the switch structure 13 on the bean hopper base 10 to touch the switch structure 13. The switch structure 13 can be linked to the bean grinding structure on the coffee machine. The bean grinding structure can be started after receiving the switch signal from the switch structure 13, that is, the bean grinding action is started after the bean hopper 20 is assembled, to prevent accidental activation of the bean grinding switch when the bean hopper 20 is not assembled, which could lead to safety problems.

[0030] When changing or adding coffee beans, the bean hopper 20 needs to be removed, that is, the second connecting part of the bean hopper 20 needs to be disconnected from the first connecting part of the bean hopper base 10. After disconnection, the switch structure 13 of the bean hopper base 10 is disconnected from the first touch part, and the coffee machine's grinding mechanism cannot be started. If coffee beans remain between the bean hopper base 10 and the grinding mechanism, it can easily cause jamming.

[0031] Therefore, the cleaning cover 30 can be assembled onto the bean hopper base 10, and the bean hopper 20 assembly is in a second usage state. During assembly, the third connecting part of the cleaning cover 30 can be connected to the first connecting part of the bean hopper base 10, so that after the cleaning cover 30 and the bean hopper base 10 are assembled, the second touch part of the bean hopper 20 can correspond to the switch structure 13 on the bean hopper base 10 to touch the switch structure 13. The switch structure 13 can be linked to the bean grinding structure on the coffee machine. The bean grinding structure can be started after receiving the switch signal from the switch structure 13. That is, the bean grinding action can be started after the cleaning cover 30 is assembled. After the bean hopper 20 is removed, the switch structure 13 is activated after the cleaning cover 30 is sealed on the bean hopper base 10, so that the bean grinding structure can perform the bean grinding action, so that the bean grinding structure can grind the coffee beans remaining in the bean hopper base 10 into coffee powder and clean them out from the powder channel, making it convenient for the next bean grinding action.

[0032] It should be noted that in the relevant implementation structure, the aforementioned switch structure 13 can be selected as a micro switch, contact switch, or photoelectric switch, etc. Of course, when the cleaning cover is not in use, a storage structure can be set on the bean hopper or the body of the coffee machine to store the cleaning cover.

[0033] As an optional implementation, the bean hopper base 10 is provided with a mounting groove 11, the aforementioned switch structure 13 is mounted in the mounting groove 11, and both the first touch part and the second touch part are used to extend into the mounting groove 11 and touch the switch structure 13.

[0034] Based on this structure, in the first usage state, the bean hopper 20 is connected to the first connecting part of the bean hopper base 10 through the second connecting part, so that the bean hopper 20 and the bean hopper base 10 are assembled and fixed. At this time, the first touch part of the bean hopper 20 can be installed into the mounting groove 11, and the first touch part can position and touch the switch structure 13 set in the mounting groove 11. That is, the first touch part can only be positioned and touched after it is positioned and installed in the mounting groove 11, so that the switch structure 13 can be accurately touched.

[0035] In the second usage state, the cleaning cover 30 is connected to the first connecting part of the bean hopper base 10 through the third connecting part, so that the cleaning cover 30 and the bean hopper base 10 are assembled and fixed. At this time, the second touch part of the cleaning cover 30 can be installed into the mounting groove 11. The second touch part can then position and touch the switch structure 13 set in the mounting groove 11. That is, the second touch part can only be positioned and touched after it is positioned and installed in the mounting groove 11. In this way, the switch structure 13 can be accurately touched.

[0036] After the bean hopper 20 or the cleaning cover 30 is assembled into the bean hopper base 10, the assembly of the bean hopper 20 and the cleaning cover 30 can be limited because the first touch part or the second touch part is assembled into the mounting groove 11. After assembly, the touch state between the structure and the switch structure 13 is stable.

[0037] As an optional implementation, the mounting groove 11 includes a first groove segment 111 and a second groove segment 112. The first groove segment 111 is arranged radially along the bean hopper seat 10, while the second groove segment 112 is arranged circumferentially along the bean hopper seat 10. One end of the first groove segment 111 is provided with a notch, and the other end of the first groove segment 111 is in communication with the second groove segment 112. The notch is used to guide the first touch unit or the second touch unit to extend into the first groove segment 111 and be guided through the first groove segment 111 to be engaged with the second groove segment 112.

[0038] In this way, when assembling the bean hopper 20, the first touch part of the bean hopper 20 can be inserted into the first groove 111 of the mounting groove 11 through the notch, and then the bean hopper 20 can be rotated so that the first touch part of the bean hopper 20 can be rotated into the second groove 112 to touch the switch structure 13 of the second groove 112. The radial movement of the first touch part can be restricted by the groove wall of the second groove 112, making it less likely to loosen and the touch structure more stable.

[0039] Similarly, when assembling the cleaning cover 30, the second touch part of the cleaning cover 30 can be inserted into the first groove 111 of the mounting groove 11 through the notch, and then the cleaning cover 30 can be rotated so that the second touch part of the cleaning cover 30 rotates into the second groove 112 to touch the switch structure 13 of the second groove 112. The radial movement of the second touch part can be restricted by the groove wall of the second groove 112, making it less likely to loosen and the touch structure more stable.

[0040] As an optional implementation, both the first touch unit and the second touch unit are provided with touch segments. The touch segments pass through the notch into the first slot segment 111 to guide the touch segments to correspond with the second slot segment 112 and snap onto the second slot segment 112; the switch structure 13 is installed in the second slot segment 112.

[0041] When assembling the bean hopper 20 or the cleaning cover 30, the touch segment of the first touch part or the touch segment of the second touch part of the bean hopper 20 can correspond to the notch position. The touch segment can be inserted into the first groove segment 111 to the second groove segment 112. Then rotate the bean hopper 20 or the cleaning cover 30 so that the touch segment of the corresponding touch part is engaged in the second groove segment 112 to realize the touch action.

[0042] In the relevant implementation structure, the above-mentioned touch segment can be implemented as a touch bump, touch rib or touch sheet, etc.

[0043] As an optional implementation, the first touch unit includes a first touch stick 21, which includes a first connecting rod segment 211 and a touch segment. The touch segment of the first touch stick 21 is defined as the first touch segment 212. One end of the first connecting rod segment 211 is connected to the outer wall of the bean hopper 20, and the other end of the first connecting rod segment 211 is connected to the first touch segment 212. The first touch segment 212 extends circumferentially along the bean hopper 20 and is spaced apart from the outer wall of the bean hopper 20. Thus, the first touch segment 212... The control section 212 is spaced apart from the outer peripheral wall of the bean hopper 20. When the first touch part is assembled into the mounting groove 11, the first connecting section of the first touch rod 21 can extend into the first groove section 111, so that the first touch section 212 extends into the second groove section 112. The side wall of the second groove section 112 can extend into the space between the first touch section 212 and the bean hopper 20. After the bean hopper 20 is assembled, the side wall of the first touch section 212 and the second groove section 112 abut against each other, which can limit the movement in the radial direction, and the assembly structure is stable.

[0044] As an optional implementation, the second touch unit includes a second touch stick, which includes a second connecting rod segment 311 and a touch segment. The touch segment of the second touch stick is defined as the second touch segment 312. One end of the second connecting rod segment 311 is connected to the outer wall of the cleaning cover 30, and the other end of the second connecting rod segment 311 is connected to the second touch segment 312. The second touch segment 312 extends circumferentially along the cleaning cover 30 and is spaced apart from the outer wall of the cleaning cover 30. Thus, the second touch segment... The second touch segment 312 is spaced apart from the outer peripheral wall of the cleaning cover 30. When the second touch part is assembled into the mounting groove 11, the second connecting section of the second touch rod can extend into the second groove 112 so that the second touch segment 312 extends into the second groove 112. The side wall of the second groove 112 can extend into the gap between the second touch segment 312 and the cleaning cover 30. After the cleaning cover 30 is assembled, the second touch segment 312 abuts against the side wall of the second groove 112, which can be radially limited, and the assembly structure is stable.

[0045] As an optional implementation, the first connecting part includes a locking block 12, and the second connecting part includes a first locking groove 22. The first locking groove 22 includes a first locking groove segment 221 and a second locking groove segment 222. The first locking groove segment 221 extends along the axial direction of the bean hopper 20, and the second locking groove segment 222 is connected to one end of the first locking groove segment 221 and extends along the circumferential direction of the bean hopper 20. The second locking groove segment 222 communicates with the first locking groove segment 221. The locking block 12 is guided by the first locking groove segment 221 to correspond with the second locking groove segment 222 and is locked to the second locking groove segment 222.

[0046] When the bean hopper 20 and the bean hopper base 10 are assembled and connected, the first slot section 221 of the bean hopper 20 can correspond to the position of the locking block 12. The locking block 12 can be inserted through the first slot section 221 and then correspond to the second slot section 222. Then rotate the bean hopper 20 so that the locking block 12 can be rotated to the second slot section 222. The structure of the locking block 12 can be radially restricted by the side wall of the second slot section 222. At the same time, with the limiting of the first touch part and the mounting groove 11, the connection structure of the bean hopper 20 and the bean hopper base 10 is more stable after being assembled.

[0047] As an optional implementation, the third connecting part includes a second slot 32, which includes a third slot segment 321 and a fourth slot segment 322. The third slot segment 321 extends axially along the cleaning cover 30, and the fourth slot segment 322 is connected to one end of the third slot segment 321 and extends circumferentially along the cleaning cover 30. The third slot segment 321 and the fourth slot segment 322 are in communication. The locking block 12 is guided by the third slot segment 321 to correspond with the fourth slot segment 322 and is locked to the fourth slot segment 322.

[0048] When the cleaning cover 30 and the bean hopper base 10 are assembled and connected, the third slot section 321 of the cleaning cover 30 can correspond to the position of the locking block 12. The locking block 12 can be inserted through the third slot section 321 and then correspond to the fourth slot section 322. Then the cleaning cover 30 is rotated so that the locking block 12 can be rotated to the fourth slot section 322. The structure of the locking block 12 can be radially restricted by the side wall of the fourth slot section 322. At the same time, with the limiting of the second touch part and the mounting groove 11, the connection structure of the cleaning cover 30 and the bean hopper base 10 is more stable after they are assembled.

[0049] As an optional implementation, a limiting groove 121 can also be provided in the locking block 12, and limiting ribs are provided on the side wall of the second locking groove section 222 and the side wall of the fourth locking section. The limiting ribs are locked in the limiting groove 121. In this way, after the bean hopper 20 and the bean hopper seat 10 are assembled, the radial assembly structure between the two is limited by the abutment of the locking block 12 and the second locking groove section 222, and the circumferential assembly structure between the two can also be limited by the locking ribs and the limiting groove 121, so that the assembly structure is stable.

[0050] After the cleaning cover 30 and the bean hopper seat 10 are assembled, the radial assembly structure between the two is limited by the abutment of the locking block 12 and the second locking groove section 222. The circumferential assembly structure between the two can also be limited by the locking rib and the locking groove 121, so the assembly structure is stable.

[0051] Example 2, A coffee machine includes the bean hopper 20 assembly of Embodiment 1, with the bean hopper base 10 mounted on the coffee machine.

[0052] The bean hopper 20 assembly's bean hopper holder 10 can be mounted on a coffee machine. The bean hopper holder 10 is mounted above the coffee machine's grinding structure, and the switch structure 13 on the bean hopper holder 10 is linked to the switch structure 13 of the coffee machine's grinding structure.

[0053] When grinding coffee beans, coffee beans can be placed in the bean hopper 20 and then assembled onto the bean hopper base 10. The bean hopper 20 assembly is in the first usage state. During assembly, the second connecting part of the bean hopper 20 can be connected to the first connecting part of the bean hopper base 10, so that after the bean hopper 20 and the bean hopper base 10 are assembled, the first touch part of the bean hopper 20 can correspond to the switch structure 13 on the bean hopper base 10 to touch the switch structure 13. The switch structure 13 can be linked to the bean grinding structure on the coffee machine. The bean grinding structure can be started after receiving the switch signal from the switch structure 13, that is, the bean grinding action is started after the bean hopper 20 is assembled, to prevent accidental activation of the bean grinding switch when the bean hopper 20 is not assembled, which could lead to safety problems.

[0054] When changing or adding coffee beans, the bean hopper 20 needs to be removed, that is, the second connecting part of the bean hopper 20 needs to be disconnected from the first connecting part of the bean hopper base 10. After disconnection, the switch structure 13 of the bean hopper base 10 is disconnected from the first touch part, and the coffee machine's grinding mechanism cannot be started. If coffee beans remain between the bean hopper base 10 and the grinding mechanism, it can easily cause jamming.

[0055] Therefore, the cleaning cover 30 can be assembled onto the bean hopper base 10, and the bean hopper 20 assembly is in a second usage state. During assembly, the third connecting part of the cleaning cover 30 can be connected to the first connecting part of the bean hopper base 10, so that after the cleaning cover 30 and the bean hopper base 10 are assembled, the second touch part of the bean hopper 20 can correspond to the switch structure 13 on the bean hopper base 10 to touch the switch structure 13. The switch structure 13 can be linked to the bean grinding structure on the coffee machine. The bean grinding structure can be started after receiving the switch signal from the switch structure 13. That is, the bean grinding action can be started after the cleaning cover 30 is assembled. After the bean hopper 20 is removed, the switch structure 13 is activated after the cleaning cover 30 is sealed on the bean hopper base 10, so that the bean grinding structure can perform the bean grinding action, so that the bean grinding structure can grind the coffee beans remaining in the bean hopper base 10 into coffee powder and clean them out from the powder channel, making it convenient for the next bean grinding action.

[0056] The other structures of the bean hopper 20 component in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 1. Its structure, working principle, and effects in the coffee machine are also the same as those in Embodiment 1, and will not be described in detail here.

[0057] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
