The limiting block can be embedded in the groove to support the control panel.

[0007] In some embodiments, the limiting component further includes a support platform connected to the body, a limiting post being provided on the support platform, and an elastic element being disposed between the limiting post and the limiting block, so that the limiting block and the limiting post can compress the elastic element.

[0008] In some embodiments, the limiting block is slidably connected to the support platform in a direction close to or away from the support arm.

[0009] In some embodiments, the limiting block includes a support portion and a limiting portion connected to each other, the support portion being able to be embedded in the groove, and the limiting portion being connected to the elastic member.

[0010] In some embodiments, one of the limiting portion of the limiting block and the support platform is provided with a groove, and the other is provided with a slider that cooperates with the groove.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this application provides a coffee machine, which includes a body 1, a control panel 2, and a limiting component 4. The control panel 2 is hinged to the body 1 by means of, for example, a hinge. A support arm 3 is connected to the control panel 2, and a groove 31 is provided on the support arm 3. The limiting component 4 includes a limiting block 41 and an elastic member 42. The elastic member 42 is connected to the body 1. One end of the limiting block 41 is connected to the elastic member 42, and the other end abuts against the support arm 3. The elastic member 42 keeps the limiting block 41 abutting against the support arm 3. The limiting block 41 can be embedded in the groove 31 to support the control panel 2.

[0023] Using the aforementioned limiting component 4, when cleaning is required, the control panel 2 can be lifted and rotated along the hinge axis between the control panel 2 and the body 1. Since the limiting block 41 is relatively stationary with respect to the body 1, the control panel 2 can drive the support arm 3 to slide on the limiting block 41. When the limiting block 41 is opposite to the groove 31, the limiting block 41 enters the groove 31. During this period, the elastic element 42 can keep the limiting block 41 in the groove 31 to support the support arm 3. No manual support is required, making cleaning convenient. After cleaning, simply apply force to compress the elastic element 42 with the limiting block 41, and after the limiting block 41 is disengaged from the groove 31, the control panel 2 can be reset.

[0024] It should be noted that the coffee machine also includes other components such as the water system, coffee bean grinder, and brewing tank, which will not be described in detail here.

[0025] In some embodiments, the upper end of the control panel 2 is hinged to the body 1 via a hinge axis. The support arm 3 and the limiting component 4 are arranged along the height direction of the body 1, with the limiting component 4 located below the support arm 3. The groove 31 is located on the side of the support arm 3 facing the limiting component 4. In this embodiment, during the rotation and lifting of the control panel 2 along the hinge axis, the control panel 2 moves along an arc. To ensure stability, the support arm 3 is an arc-shaped arm, with its outer arc surface facing the limiting component 4. To facilitate the movement of the support arm 3, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the body 1 is also provided with a through-hole 14 for the support arm 3 to pass through.

[0026] like Figures 5 to 7As shown, in some embodiments, to facilitate fixing the elastic element 42, the limiting assembly 4 includes a support platform 43. The support platform 43 can be connected to the machine body 1 by means of bolts or snap-fit, but is not limited to. A limiting post 44 is provided on the support platform 43. The elastic element 42 is disposed between the limiting block 41 and the limiting post 44, so that the limiting block 41 and the limiting post 44 can jointly compress the elastic element 42. Specifically, the elastic element 42 can be, but is not limited to, a compression spring. One end of the compression spring is sleeved on the limiting post 44, and the other end is sleeved on the limiting block 41.

[0027] To ensure the stability of the limiting block 41 during movement and improve its stability during movement, in some embodiments, the limiting block 41 is slidably connected to the support platform 43 in a direction close to or away from the support arm 3. Specifically, the limiting block 41 includes a support portion 411 and a limiting portion 412 connected to each other. The limiting portion 412 is provided with a limiting head 414, which is bent into an inverted L-shape, and a compression spring is sleeved on the limiting head 414. One of the limiting portion 412 and the support platform 43 is provided with a sliding groove 45, and the other is provided with a slider 46 that slides in conjunction with the sliding groove 45, so that the limiting block 41 and the support platform 43 can slide relative to each other. In the current embodiment, the slider 46 is provided on the support platform 43, and the sliding groove 45 is provided on the limiting portion 412. To reduce the possibility of the slider 46 disengaging from the slide groove 45, a limiting plate 47 is provided at the end of the slider 46 away from the support platform 43. The limiting plate 47 and the support platform 43 are located on opposite sides of the slide groove 45, allowing the limiting plate 47 and the support platform 43 to move up and down on opposite sides of the slide groove 45. In the current embodiment, the end of the support part 411 away from the limiting part 412 is flat on the side facing the control panel 2, while the side away from the control panel 2 is rounded. When the control panel 2 is rotated and lifted along the hinge axis (open state), the support part 411 can easily enter the groove 31, thereby preventing the control panel 2 from automatically falling down along the hinge axis (closed state), making the limiting block 41 more stable. In order to make it even easier for the support part 411 to enter the groove 31, the opening of the groove 31 is also rounded.

[0028] When the control panel 2 needs to be closed, force needs to be applied to the limiting block 41 to compress the elastic element 42 and disengage it from the groove 31. To facilitate applying force to the elastic element 42, the body 1 is provided with an operation port 11, and the limiting block 41 is provided with an operation protrusion 413. The operation protrusion 413 extends into the operation port 11, thereby facilitating the application of force from the outside of the body 1. In the current embodiment, the operation protrusion 413 is provided on the support part 411, and the operation port 11 is provided on the side of the body 1 facing the control panel 2. This allows the control panel 2 to cover the main operation port 11 when it is closed, preventing it from being exposed and thus maintaining the cleanliness and aesthetics of the body 1.

[0029] In some embodiments, a blocking protrusion 32 is provided on the side of the support arm 3 facing the limiting component 4, that is, the blocking protrusion 32 and the groove 31 are located on the same side; the blocking protrusion 32 is located between the control panel 2 and the groove 31. In the current embodiment, the blocking protrusion 32 is an arc-shaped protrusion. Providing the above-mentioned arc-shaped protrusion on the support arm 3 can cause the blocking protrusion 32 to abut against the support part 411 during the closing process of the control panel 2, thereby slowing down the closing speed of the control panel 2 and reducing the risk of pinching injury caused by sudden closing.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the coffee machine also includes a water tray 5. A slot 12 is provided on the machine body 1, with the slot opening facing downwards. One side of the slot 12 adjacent to the slot opening horizontally penetrates the machine body 1, forming an insertion interface for the water tray 5 to be inserted into the machine body 1. A sliding groove 13 is provided on the inner wall of the slot 12 adjacent to the slot opening. One end of the sliding groove 13 extends through the insertion interface of the slot 12. A first protrusion 51 and a second protrusion 5 are provided on opposite sides of the water tray 5. 2. The first protrusion 51 and the second protrusion 52 are spaced apart in the height direction of the water receiving tray 5. The first protrusion 51 can slide along the sliding groove 13, thereby fixing the water receiving tray 5. When the first protrusion 51 slides in the sliding groove 13, the second protrusion 52 can abut against the inner side wall of the slot 12, thereby minimizing the contact area between the side of the water receiving tray 5 and the inner side wall of the slot 12 when the water receiving tray 5 is inserted into the slot 12, thus facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the water receiving tray 5 when it needs to be cleaned.

[0031] Exemplarily, the water receiving tray 5 includes a grooved tray body 55, with a support net 56 covering the groove opening of the tray body 55, thereby receiving waste liquid splashed from the cup through the support net 56. In some embodiments, the water receiving tray 5 is provided with an inlet interface 53, which is located at one end of the water receiving tray 5 along the length of the first protrusion 51, that is, at one end of the water receiving tray 5 along the sliding direction of the sliding groove 13. The inlet interface 53 can be connected to a drain pipe to receive wastewater such as overflowing from a coffee machine boiler system during pressure relief or wastewater from cleaning the brewing tank. In other embodiments, the support net 56 covers part of the groove opening of the tray body 55, and the other part of the groove opening is covered by a cover plate (not shown), thereby allowing the inlet interface 53 to be opened on the cover plate. Exemplarily, the cover plate can be connected to the tray body 55 by means of snap-fit ​​or plug-in. In some embodiments, a first sensor 57 is provided on the tray body 55, and a second sensor (not shown) is provided on the body 1 to cooperate with the first sensor 57, so that the second sensor can sense the first sensor 57, that is, when the first sensor 57 and the second sensor are opposite each other, it indicates that the water tray 5 is assembled in place. The types of the first sensor 57 and the second sensor are not specifically limited, and can be a combination of Hall element and magnet connected to the control system signal, or a position sensor.

[0032] In some embodiments, at least one baffle 54 is provided in the groove of the tray body 55. The baffles 54 are staggered along the direction of approaching or away from the inlet 53, so that when wastewater overflowing from the boiler system during depressurization or wastewater from cleaning the brewing tank enters the water receiving tray 5 through the inlet 53, the baffles 54 can block it, reducing the amount of wastewater directly flowing from the inlet 53 into the other end of the water receiving tray 5, minimizing the splashing of hot wastewater, and reducing the possibility of scalding. When a cover plate is provided, the baffle 54 is located within the range of the orthogonal projection of the cover plate onto the bottom of the tray body 55. Furthermore, the baffle 54 may be, but is not limited to, detachably connected to the tray body 55 so that it can be removed at any time. For example, when the rate at which wastewater flows from the inlet 53 into the water receiving tray 5 is low, the baffle 54 or even the cover plate can be removed.

[0033] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
