Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage preparation equipment technology, specifically to a beverage preparation device. Background Technology
[0002] Beverage preparation equipment, such as coffee machines and soy milk makers, typically includes a grinding component and a heating device. The grinding component grinds beverage ingredients into powder, while the heating device provides hot water to brew the powdered ingredients, thus completing the beverage preparation. In existing technologies, the grinding component generates heat during the grinding process due to friction between the raw materials and the grinding parts, as well as the operation of the drive components. This causes the grinding component's temperature to rise, which not only affects the working stability and lifespan of the grinding component but may also cause the beverage ingredients to change their original properties due to heat during grinding, thereby affecting the final taste of the beverage.
[0003] Meanwhile, the heating device continuously generates heat during operation, which can easily be transferred to the grinding components through the internal air and connecting structures, further exacerbating the temperature rise problem. This heat transfer not only adversely affects the performance of the grinding components and reduces their service life, but may also cause changes in the quality of beverage ingredients due to heat before or during grinding, failing to meet user requirements for beverage quality. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the structure of beverage preparation equipment to solve the aforementioned problems caused by heat. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0038] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
[0039] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.
[0040] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a beverage preparation device, which can be a coffee machine, soy milk maker, juicer or other device with grinding and brewing functions. Its core is to reduce the heat transfer between the grinding component 20 and the heating device 30 by setting a heat insulation component 40, and preferably, combined with a fan component 60 to enhance heat dissipation, so as to reduce the temperature rise during the grinding process.
[0041] Please see Figure 1 The beverage preparation equipment in this embodiment includes a housing 10, a grinding assembly 20, a heating device 30, and a heat insulation component 40. The housing 10 serves as the main frame of the equipment, with an internal space for accommodating the various components. The grinding assembly 20 is located inside the housing 10 and is used to grind raw materials such as coffee beans and soybeans into powder. It may include a grinding chamber 21 and a drive component (such as a motor 22). The heating device 30 is also located inside the housing 10 and is typically an electric boiler or similar appliance. The heating device 30 is used to heat water to a preset temperature to meet brewing requirements.
[0042] The heat insulation element 40 is made of a material with low thermal conductivity and is at least partially located between the grinding assembly 20 and the heating device 30. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the heat insulation element 40 can completely separate the two or only cover a portion of their opposing areas. Furthermore, the heat insulation element 40 can be disposed only in the portion between the grinding assembly 20 and the heating device 30, or it can be further extended or separately disposed in other areas requiring heat insulation. In this embodiment, the function of the heat insulation element 40 is to block the transfer of heat generated by the heating device 30 to the grinding assembly 20, while simultaneously reducing the diffusion of heat from the grinding assembly 20 itself to the surroundings. In this embodiment, the heat insulation element 40 can adopt a sheet-like, block-like, or wrap-around structure, as long as it can form a thermal barrier between the grinding assembly 20 and the heating device 30.
[0043] Optionally, the insulation component 40 may be made of at least one of foam, asbestos, and glass wool. Foam is a porous material whose internal air bubbles effectively block heat conduction, providing excellent insulation performance. It is also lightweight, flexible, and easy to cut and install according to the shape of different components, while being relatively inexpensive. Closed-cell foam can be used, offering better waterproof and moisture-proof properties, making it suitable for use in environments where equipment may come into contact with moisture. The insulation component 40 may also use other insulation materials such as asbestos or glass wool, as long as they meet the insulation requirements.
[0044] When the beverage preparation equipment is running, the heat generated by the heating device 30 is blocked by the heat insulation component 40 and cannot be directly conducted to the grinding component 20. At the same time, the heat generated by the friction of the grinding component 20 is also less likely to affect the heating device 30 through air convection, thus preventing the grinding component 20 from overheating. In this way, the heat from the heating device 30 is reduced, which exacerbates the temperature rise of the grinding component 20 and mitigates the adverse effects of excessive temperature rise during the grinding process on the quality of raw materials. This not only extends the service life of the grinding component 20 but also improves the taste of the beverage prepared by the beverage preparation equipment.
[0045] Based on the previous embodiment, please continue to refer to... Figures 2 to 4The beverage preparation equipment also includes a bracket 50 fixed to the housing 10. The grinding assembly 20 is mounted on the bracket 50, thereby achieving a relatively fixed installation within the housing 10. The bracket 50 includes a partition 51 located between the grinding assembly 20 and the heating device 30, and a heat insulation element 40 is at least partially disposed on the partition 51. In this embodiment, the bracket 50 provides a stable mounting base for the grinding assembly 20, while the partition 51 spatially separates the grinding assembly 20 from the heating device 30 through a physical structure. The heat insulation element 40, disposed on the partition 51, reduces direct heat exchange paths. The heat insulation element 40 utilizes the supporting effect of the partition 51 to enhance its installation stability and prevent displacement caused by vibrations or other factors during the operation of the beverage preparation equipment.
[0046] Preferably, the partition 51 can be made of metal sheet, and the heat insulation element 40 is fixed to its surface with adhesive. The partition 51 of the bracket 50 can also adopt a mesh-like or hollow structure, as long as it can achieve the functions of support and preliminary partitioning. The heat insulation element 40 can be set to fit the shape of the partition 51. In this embodiment, the partition 51 of the bracket 50 first reduces heat radiation and air convection between the grinding assembly 20 and the heating device 30 through spatial partitioning. At the same time, the heat insulation element 40 set on the partition 51 further blocks the conduction of heat through the partition 51, thus improving the heat insulation effect under the dual effect.
[0047] Preferably, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the housing 10 includes a top plate 11, the grinding assembly 20 is located below the top plate 11, and the heat insulation component 40 includes a first heat insulation layer 41 and a second heat insulation layer 42. The first heat insulation layer 41 is disposed on the partition 51, and the second heat insulation layer 42 is disposed on the top plate 11. The top plate 11, as the upper structure of the housing 10, protects the internal components of the equipment. The grinding assembly 20 is located below it, making efficient use of the internal space of the housing 10. The first heat insulation layer 41 is mainly used to block the heat transferred through the partition 51, while the second heat insulation layer 42 is used to reduce the heat transferred from the top plate 11 to the grinding assembly 20, such as the heat from the ambient temperature or the heating device 30, which is conducted to the grinding assembly 20 through the top plate 11. The second heat insulation layer 42 can be disposed only in the area of the top plate 11 corresponding to the grinding assembly 20, without needing to cover the entire lower side of the top plate 11.
[0048] In this embodiment, the first heat insulation layer 41 and the partition 51 cooperate to block heat transfer between the grinding assembly 20 and the heating device 30, while the second heat insulation layer 42 blocks heat from above from diffusing into the grinding assembly 20, forming multi-directional heat insulation protection. In this embodiment, by using heat insulation layers set at different locations, heat transfer paths are blocked from different directions, further reducing the risk of temperature rise in the grinding assembly 20.
[0049] Optionally, such as Figure 3and Figure 4 As shown, the partition 51 is plate-shaped, with the grinding assembly 20 and heating device 30 located on opposite sides of the partition 51. A first heat insulation layer 41 covers the side of the partition 51 facing the heating device 30. The plate-shaped partition 51 has a large surface area, which can more effectively separate the space between the grinding assembly 20 and the heating device 30, reducing the heat exchange area between them. The first heat insulation layer 41, covering the side of the partition 51 facing the heating device 30, can directly block the heat generated by the heating device 30 from being conducted to the grinding assembly 20 through the partition 51. In an optional embodiment, the partition 51 is a rectangular metal plate, and the first heat insulation layer 41 is foam adapted to the shape of the plate, which is fixed to the partition 51 by adhesive. Preferably, the first heat insulation layer 41 can also cover both sides of the partition 51 to further enhance the heat insulation effect.
[0050] In this embodiment, the plate-shaped partition 51 provides a large blocking area. The first heat insulation layer 41 is located on the side facing the heating device 30, directly intercepting the heat transferred from the heating device 30 to the partition 51, preventing heat from being conducted to the grinding assembly 20 on the other side through the partition 51. In this way, the heat insulation layer is specifically set in the direction of the heat source, improving the heat insulation efficiency, while the plate-shaped structure facilitates processing and installation.
[0051] Alternatively, please continue reading Figure 3 and Figure 4 The second insulation layer 42 covers the lower side of the top plate 11. The lower side of the top plate 11 is the side directly opposite the grinding assembly 20. Covering this area with the second insulation layer 42 can completely block the heat transferred to the grinding assembly 20 through the top plate 11, including the ambient heat absorbed by the top plate 11 or the radiant heat transferred to the top plate 11 by the boiler.
[0052] In this embodiment, the second heat insulation layer 42 covers the lower side of the top plate 11, forming a complete heat insulation barrier. When heat attempts to be conducted through the top plate 11 to the grinding assembly 20 below, it is blocked by the second heat insulation layer 42, thereby reducing the impact of heat from above on the grinding assembly 20. The second heat insulation layer 42 can more effectively block heat transfer from the direction of the top plate 11, creating a more stable temperature environment for the grinding assembly 20.
[0053] Optionally, the grinding assembly 20 includes a grinding chamber 21, with a feed inlet 111 on the top plate 11 communicating with the grinding chamber 21, and an opening 421 on the second heat insulation layer 42 aligned with the feed inlet 111. The grinding chamber 21 is a component that contains and grinds raw materials. The feed inlet 111 is used to feed raw materials into the grinding chamber 21. The alignment of the opening 421 on the second heat insulation layer 42 with the feed inlet 111 ensures that the raw materials can smoothly pass through the feed inlet 111 into the grinding chamber 21, preventing the second heat insulation layer 42 from obstructing the feeding of raw materials. Optionally, the size of the opening 421 may be slightly larger than the feed inlet 111 to reduce restrictions on the feeding of raw materials.
[0054] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the bracket 50 also includes a mounting portion 52, and a partition portion 51 extending vertically, with its upper end connected to the top plate 11 and its lower end fixed to the mounting portion 52 extending horizontally. The grinding assembly 20 is fixedly supported on the mounting portion 52 and located between the mounting portion 52 and the top plate 11. The vertical extension of the partition portion 51 enhances the stability of the connection with the top plate 11, and the horizontal extension of the mounting portion 52 provides a stable support surface for the grinding assembly 20, allowing the grinding assembly 20 to be securely installed between the mounting portion 52 and the top plate 11, reducing vibration during the grinding process. For example, the partition portion 51 can be a vertical metal plate, and the mounting portion 52 can be a horizontal metal plate, with the two vertically connected or integrally formed to form an L-shaped structure. The grinding assembly 20 is fixed to the mounting portion 52 with screws.
[0055] In this embodiment, the partition 51 is fixedly connected to the top plate 11, providing stable support for the mounting part 52. The mounting part 52 bears the weight of the grinding assembly 20, ensuring its stability during operation. Furthermore, the structural design of the partition 51 and mounting part 52 further optimizes the spatial arrangement of the grinding assembly 20 and the heating device 30, reducing heat exchange. In this embodiment, the support 50 structure is more stable, effectively reducing vibration of the grinding assembly 20 during operation, while the reasonable spatial layout helps improve heat insulation.
[0056] Preferably, the heat insulation component 40 also includes a third heat insulation layer disposed on the mounting portion 52. The mounting portion 52, as a component supporting the grinding assembly 20, may transfer heat to the grinding assembly 20 through thermal conduction. The third heat insulation layer disposed on the mounting portion 52 can block this heat transfer path. For example, the third heat insulation layer is made of foam and laid on the contact surface between the mounting portion 52 and the grinding assembly 20. Thus, the third heat insulation layer is located between the mounting portion 52 and the grinding assembly 20. When the mounting portion 52 absorbs heat (such as heat from the heating device 30 or the environment), the third heat insulation layer can prevent heat from being conducted to the grinding assembly 20 through the contact between the mounting portion 52 and the grinding assembly 20. Therefore, the support structure further blocks heat transfer, providing multi-directional protection for the grinding assembly 20 and reducing the risk of temperature rise.
[0057] Based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the beverage preparation equipment also includes a fan assembly 60, which includes a fan wheel 61 and an air duct component 62 mounted on the housing 10. The air inlet 621 of the air duct component 62 faces the grinding assembly 20, and the air outlet 622 connects to the outside of the housing 10. The fan wheel 61 is disposed in the air duct component 62 and is used to drive the airflow from the air inlet 621 to the air outlet 622. The function of the fan assembly 60 is to remove the heat generated by the grinding assembly 20 through forced convection. The rotation of the fan wheel 61 generates airflow, which absorbs heat as it passes around the grinding assembly 20. The airflow enters the air duct component 62 from the air inlet 621 and is then discharged from the outside of the housing 10 from the air outlet 622, thus achieving active heat dissipation.
[0058] The air duct component 62 guides the airflow direction, ensuring accurate airflow through the grinding assembly 20 and improving heat dissipation efficiency. It can be integrally formed with the housing 10 or separately fixedly installed on the housing 10. The air inlet 621 of the air duct component 62 is close to the grinding chamber 21, and the air outlet 622 extends to the side wall of the housing 10 with an opening 421. The impeller 61 can be an axial flow fan or a centrifugal fan, as long as it can generate sufficient airflow. In this embodiment, when the fan assembly 60 is working, the impeller 61 drives the airflow from the air inlet 621 to the air outlet 622. As the airflow flows through the grinding assembly 20, it carries away the heat generated by the assembly, discharging the heat outside the equipment. This, combined with the passive insulation of the heat insulation component 40, forms a synergistic effect of active heat dissipation and passive insulation. Thus, it not only prevents external heat from entering but also actively dissipates the heat generated by the grinding assembly 20 itself, more effectively controlling the temperature rise of the grinding assembly 20 during operation.
[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the grinding chamber 21 of the grinding assembly 20 has a discharge port 211 on its periphery. A discharge hopper 70 is generally also provided outside the discharge port 211 to guide the ground raw material powder to the brewing assembly. The air inlet 621 of the air duct component 62 and the discharge port 211 are arranged opposite each other radially in the grinding chamber 21. The opposite arrangement of the air inlet 621 and the discharge port 211 ensures that the airflow only flows near the air inlet 621, carrying away the heat generated by the grinding chamber 21, while preventing the cooling airflow from blowing onto the discharge port 211 and causing the raw material powder to scatter.
[0060] In this embodiment, the airflow path is optimized by utilizing the positional layout between the air duct 62 and the discharge port 211, which improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the grinding chamber 21 and helps prevent the raw materials from scattering everywhere at the discharge port 211.
[0061] Optionally, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the grinding assembly 20 also includes a motor 22 and a cutting tool disposed within the grinding chamber 21. The motor 22 is disposed outside the grinding chamber 21 and is connected to the cutting tool for transmission. An angled region 23 is defined between the motor 22 and the grinding chamber 21, and the air inlet 621 is located within this angled region 23. The motor 22 provides power to the cutting tool and generates heat during operation. The angled region 23 between the motor 22 and the grinding chamber 21 is where heat easily accumulates. By placing the air inlet 621 here, heat can be directly dissipated from this high-temperature area. For example, the motor 22 can be vertically disposed on one side of the grinding chamber 21, forming a right-angled region 23 between them, with the air inlet 621 extending into this region.
[0062] The angle of the included region 23 can be adjusted according to the installation positions of the motor 22 and the grinding chamber 21, and the shape of the air inlet 621 can be designed to fit the included region 23. In this embodiment, both the motor 22 and the grinding chamber 21 generate heat during operation, and heat easily accumulates in the included region 23. The air inlet 621 is located here, allowing airflow to flow directly through this region, while simultaneously carrying away the heat from the motor 22 and the grinding chamber 21, thus improving the targeted nature of heat dissipation. This precisely targets the heat accumulation area for heat dissipation, further improving heat dissipation efficiency and protecting the motor 22 and the grinding chamber 21 from high temperatures.
[0063] In one embodiment, the air duct component 62 protrudes from the lower side of the top plate 11, with its lower end forming an air inlet 621 and its upper end penetrating the top plate 11 to form an air outlet 622. The grinding chamber 21 and the motor 22 both extend axially in the vertical direction, and the air duct component 62, the grinding chamber 21, and the motor 22 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction. This layout makes the internal structure of the equipment more compact. The grinding chamber 21 and the motor 22, which extend vertically, can make full use of the vertical space of the housing 10. The air duct component 62, the grinding chamber 21, and the motor 22, which are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, facilitate the installation and maintenance of each component, while shortening the length of the air duct component 62 and reducing airflow resistance. For example, the air duct component 62, the grinding chamber 21, and the motor 22 are arranged side by side on the lower side of the top plate 11, and all three extend vertically. The air inlet 621 of the air duct component 62 is close to the angle area 23 between the grinding chamber 21 and the motor 22, and the air outlet 622 extends upward through the top plate 11 to the outside of the equipment.
[0064] In this embodiment, the compact layout allows airflow to enter from the inlet 621, quickly flow through the grinding assembly 20 and the motor 22, and then exit through the outlet 622, reducing energy loss of the airflow within the duct. Simultaneously, the efficient use of space makes the overall size of the equipment smaller. While ensuring effective heat dissipation, the internal structural layout of the housing 10 has been optimized, reducing the size of the beverage preparation equipment.
[0065] Optionally, the air inlet 621 is provided with an air inlet 623, which is opened horizontally toward the grinding chamber 21. The horizontally opened air inlet 623 allows the airflow to flow more directly to the grinding chamber 21, reduces the change of airflow direction, improves the contact efficiency between the airflow and the grinding chamber 21, and enhances the heat dissipation effect.
[0066] In this embodiment, the air inlet 623 is oriented horizontally toward the grinding chamber 21, allowing the airflow to directly blow onto the surface of the grinding chamber 21, maximizing the absorption of heat generated by the grinding chamber 21 and reducing airflow loss during propagation. This improves the heat exchange efficiency between the airflow and the grinding chamber 21, enhances the heat dissipation effect, and further reduces the temperature of the grinding chamber 21.
[0067] Preferably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, two sets of grinding components 20 and two sets of fan components 60 are respectively provided, with the two sets of fan components 60 and the two sets of grinding components 20 arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction. The two sets of grinding components 20 can be used to grind different kinds of raw materials, thereby preparing beverages with mixed flavors. The two sets of fan components 60 are respectively for heat dissipation, and the interval arrangement can avoid mutual heat interference between the two sets of components. For example, the two sets of grinding components 20 and fan components 60 are symmetrically arranged on both sides inside the housing 10, and each operates independently.
[0068] The spacing between the two grinding components 20 and their corresponding two fan components 60 can be adjusted according to heat dissipation requirements to ensure that they do not interfere with each other. In this way, when the two grinding components 20 work independently, their respective fan components 60 dissipate heat for them. The spacing reduces heat transfer between the two components and improves the working efficiency of the equipment, allowing different beverages to be prepared simultaneously or separately.
[0069] The following are embodiments based on the above-mentioned beverage preparation equipment, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 7 and attached Figure 8 The beneficial effects of the beverage preparation equipment provided by this utility model will be described in detail. In the prior art (such as...) Figure 7 As shown in the diagram, during the grinding process of the beverage preparation equipment, the maximum temperatures at the grinding chamber 21 near the boiler, the impeller 61, and the discharge hopper 70 are 33.1℃, 31.8℃, and 31.6℃, respectively, with average temperatures of 30.9℃, 29.4℃, and 28.2℃, respectively. The overall temperature is high and shows an upward trend. However, after adopting the technical solution of this utility model (as shown in the diagram), the temperature is significantly higher. Figure 8As shown in the figure, the maximum temperatures at the aforementioned locations decreased to 28.2℃, 28.8℃, and 28.1℃, respectively, with average temperatures of 27.9℃, 27.3℃, and 28.4℃, respectively. The overall temperature decreased significantly and remained stable. This indicates that, in this embodiment, by setting the heat insulation component 40 and the fan assembly 60, heat transfer between the heating device 30 and the grinding assembly 20 was effectively blocked, and the heat generated by the grinding assembly 20 was promptly discharged. This significantly reduced the temperature of the grinding assembly 20 and its surrounding area, thereby preventing quality changes in the raw materials due to high temperatures, extending the service life of the grinding assembly 20, improving the taste of the final beverage, and achieving the expected technical effect.
