[0002] As living standards improve, coffee has gradually become a common beverage in people's lives. Due to the fast pace of life, coffee machines that can quickly brew coffee are increasingly popular. Some users prefer to place coffee grounds in the coffee hopper when brewing. After brewing, the grounds, compressed and extracted, tend to stick to the hopper. If the user wants to brew again, they need to empty the coffee grounds from the hopper. However, in some cases, the grounds cannot be easily removed. In such situations, the hopper needs to be rinsed or forcefully tapped to dislodge the grounds. This can make the extraction process cumbersome or noisy, and in some cases, rinsing is not possible, adding extra steps to the process and failing to achieve the goal of quickly removing coffee grounds from the hopper.

[0032] The sealing ring 37 described in this utility model can also be disposed between the connecting part 35 and the pressing part 34, and the sealing ring 37 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the pressing part 34. It will move up and down relative to the force-applying part 31. This structural design has been shown in the accompanying drawings and is a conventional and well-known technology for those skilled in the art. It does not need to be described in detail.

[0033] The lower housing 12 is provided with a through hole 14 through which the force-applying part 31 passes; the outer peripheral wall of the connecting part 35 extends downward and abuts against the inner wall of the lower housing 12. By providing the through hole 14, the pressing part 34 passes through the through hole 14 and is located outside the lower housing 12; the outer peripheral wall of the connecting part 35 abuts against the lower housing 12, which serves as a limiting function and prevents the force-applying part 31 from falling out of the lower housing 12.

[0034] An extension post 15 extends from the bottom of the upper housing 11 into the lower housing 12; part of the extension post 15 is disposed within the sleeve 36; a return spring 4 is disposed outside the extension post 15 and the sleeve 36; a limiting groove 38 is provided between the connecting part 35 and the sleeve 36; the two ends of the return spring 4 are respectively connected to the upper wall of the lower housing 12 and the limiting groove 38.

[0035] The base assembly 2 includes a filter screen 21 and a fixing seat 22 disposed below the filter screen 21; the filter screen 21 is connected to the fixing seat 22 above by at least one fixing screw 25; the fixing seat 22 extends into the lower housing 12 and is provided with a fixing tube 23; a fixing head 24 is provided at the end of the fixing tube 23; the fixing head 24 abuts against the end of the linkage rod 32 away from the hinged lower housing 12; a return spring 4 is sleeved on the fixing tube 23; the two ends of the return spring 4 abut against the upper wall of the lower housing 12 and the fixing head 24 respectively. The filter screen 21 filters coffee grounds; the fixing screw 25 secures the filter screen 21 to the fixing base 22; the fixing tube 23 extends from the fixing base 22 to the lower housing 12, and a fixing head 24 limits the placement of the return spring 4. The return spring 4 is sleeved on the fixing tube 23, so when the force application part 31 is released, the return spring 4 elastically resets, allowing the base assembly 2 to move downwards; the fixing head 24 abuts against the end of the linkage rod 32 away from the hinged lower housing 12, allowing the fixing head 24 and the fixing tube 23 to move relative to each other after the force application part 31 is pressed, causing the linkage rod 32 to rotate.

[0036] The upper housing 11 has a liquid passage hole 16 at its bottom; the lower housing 12 has a sealing member 18 and an elastic member 17 inside; the elastic member 17 is located between the sealing member 18 and the bottom of the lower housing 12; the sealing member 18 can be connected to or separated from the liquid passage hole 16. The liquid passage hole 16 allows coffee liquid in the extraction chamber 13 to flow out. The sealing member 18 blocks the liquid passage hole 16, so that when the pressure in the extraction chamber 13 is too high, it will squeeze the elastic member 17 and the sealing member 18 downwards, causing the sealing member 18 to separate from the liquid passage hole 16, allowing coffee liquid to flow out. When the pressure decreases, the elastic member 17 elastically resets, causing the sealing member 18 to contact the liquid passage hole 16.

[0037] The bottom of the lower housing 12 is provided with a liquid outlet 19. By providing the liquid outlet 19, coffee liquid can flow out from the liquid outlet 19 for the user to drink.

[0038] In this utility model, a hinge end 39 is provided on the linkage rod 32. The linkage rod 32 is connected to the lower housing 12 through the hinge end 39.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the user needs to use the powder container body 1, the coffee powder can be placed in the extraction chamber 13 for extraction. During the extraction process, the pressure in the extraction chamber 13 will increase, which will push the sealing member 18. Then the coffee liquid will enter the lower housing 12 through the liquid passage 16 and flow out from the liquid outlet 19. After the extraction is completed, the elastic member 17 will drive the sealing member 18 to reset and seal the liquid passage 16.

[0040] When the user needs to pour out the coffee grounds in the extraction chamber 13, the pressing part 34 needs to be pressed. The pressing part 34 will drive the connecting part 35 to move inward with the sleeve 36. At this time, the return spring 4 between the sleeve 36 and the extension column 15 will retract. The connecting part 35 will drive the abutment part 33 to rise. Because one end of the linkage rod 32 is hinged in the lower housing 12, and the hinged end is higher than the end connected to the fixing head 24 in the initial state, when the connecting part 35 drives the abutment part 33 to rise, the linkage rod 32 will also carry the fixing tube 23 to rise. At this time, the return spring 4 outside the fixing tube 23 will also be squeezed, and the base assembly 2 will rise. Then the coffee grounds will also rise with the base assembly 2, and the user can pour out the coffee grounds. When the force application part 31 is released, the return spring 4 will carry the base assembly 2 and the force application part 31 to return to their original positions.
