Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee machine technology, specifically to a hidden, automatically pop-out cup holder for a capsule coffee machine. Background Technology

[0002] Some small capsule coffee machines are equipped with a dedicated drip tray. Users place their coffee cup on the tray to dispense coffee, which then flows into the cup through the nozzle. However, due to the different sizes of coffee cups, and the fact that some users prefer smaller cups, placing the cup directly on the drip tray can cause the coffee to fall too high, potentially splashing and staining the cup. Catching the coffee directly with the hand also poses a risk of burns. Furthermore, some existing capsule coffee machines with external cup holders, which are only attached when needed, can lead to the holder being easily lost and can also make the holder structurally unstable and prone to vibration.

[0003] To address this, we have introduced a capsule coffee machine with a hidden, automatically popping cup holder. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hidden, automatically pop-out cup holder for a capsule coffee machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a capsule coffee machine with a hidden, automatically pop-out cup holder, comprising a base, a tray, and a cup holder. The tray is slidably disposed within the base, and the cup holder is mounted on the tray. The base includes a bottom plate and a surrounding plate disposed on the side of the bottom plate. The surrounding plate has an opening along one length direction of the bottom plate, and the tray slides along the opening direction. A bistable button latch is provided on the inner side of the surrounding plate opposite to the opening direction. The bistable button latch is connected to the tray, and the bistable button latch can hide or pop out the tray.

[0006] Preferably, a first arc plate is provided on one side of the base, and a second arc plate is provided on one side of the support, wherein the first arc plate and the second arc plate have the same curvature.

[0007] Preferably, the base is provided with a downward-sloping ramp, and the ramp is connected to a downward-sloping drain pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the support is provided with a square drain hole, and the cup holder is provided with a drain strip hole and a circular drain hole.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a front cover, the side of which is provided with an arc-shaped surface, the inner arc surface of the first arc plate is connected to the outer arc surface of the arc-shaped surface, and the inner arc surface of the second arc plate is aligned vertically with the inner arc surface of the arc-shaped surface.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a retractable, automatically pop-out cup holder for a capsule coffee machine, comprising a base 1, a holder 2, and a cup holder 3. The holder 2 is slidably disposed within the base 1, and the cup holder 3 is mounted on the holder 2. The base 1 includes a base plate 11 and a surrounding plate 12 disposed on the side of the base plate 11. The surrounding plate 12 has an opening 13 along one length direction of the base plate 11, and the holder 2 slides along the opening direction. A bistable button lock 4 is provided on the inner side of the surrounding plate 12 opposite to the opening direction, and the bistable button lock 4 is connected to the holder 2. When the user presses the holder 2, the bistable button lock 4 can lock the holder 2, making it retract into the coffee machine body, and when the holder 2 is pressed again, it can pop out of the coffee machine body.

[0024] In an embodiment of this utility model, a first arc plate 14 is provided on one side of the base 1, and a second arc plate 21 is provided on one side of the support 2. The first arc plate 14 and the second arc plate 21 have the same curvature.

[0025] In an embodiment of this utility model, the base 1 is provided with a downwardly inclined ramp 15, and the ramp 15 is connected to a downwardly inclined drain pipe 16. The ramp 15 is inclined toward the opening 13, and the drain pipe 16 is located at the bottom of the ramp 15.

[0026] In this embodiment of the invention, the cup holder 2 is provided with a square drain hole 22, and the cup holder 3 is provided with a drain strip hole 31 and a circular drain hole 32. After the coffee liquid overflows from the cup during brewing, it first flows into the water collection tank of the capsule coffee machine through the drain strip hole 31 and the circular drain hole 32. After the cup holder 2 enters the capsule coffee machine, the coffee liquid remaining in the cup holder 2 will slowly drip from the drain hole 22 onto the slope 15 of the base 1, then flow through the slope 15 into the drain pipe 16 and into the collection box of the capsule coffee machine, or flow out of the capsule coffee machine through the drain pipe, ensuring the cleanliness of the capsule coffee machine's interior.

[0027] In this embodiment of the invention, a front cover 5 is also included. The front cover 5 is installed on the capsule coffee machine and located on the side where the coffee dispensing mechanism is located. The difference between the front cover 5 and the prior art is that the side of the front cover 5 has an arc-shaped surface 51, with the outer arc surface of the arc-shaped surface 51 facing the inner cavity of the coffee machine. Specifically, the inner arc surface of the first arc plate 14 is connected to the outer arc surface of the arc-shaped surface 51, that is, the first arc plate 14 is located in the inner cavity of the coffee machine, and the inner arc surface of the second arc plate 21 is aligned with the inner arc surface of the arc-shaped surface 51. This arrangement makes the invention a concealed structure, combining functionality and aesthetics.

[0028] In an embodiment of this utility model, a limiting plate 17 is also provided on the base plate 1 to limit the closed position of the support 2.

[0029] In an embodiment of this utility model, a reinforcing block 18 is provided inside the enclosure 12, and the reinforcing block 18 is provided with a first screw hole 19.

[0030] In an embodiment of this utility model, a connecting post 111 is provided on the bottom front end of the base 1, and the connecting post 111 is provided with a second screw hole 121. The first screw hole 19 and the second screw hole 121 are used to install the base 1.

[0031] In an embodiment of this utility model, the upper end surface of the cup holder 3 is provided with a concave surface 333, and a water-draining strip hole 31 and a circular drain hole 32 are provided in the concave surface 33.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
