Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an accessory for a portable coffee machine, and more particularly to a support frame. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, portable coffee machines on the market typically require users to hold the machine and align the extraction spout with the coffee cup to catch the coffee flowing from it. Since the coffee extraction process usually lasts 2-3 minutes, and the machine itself has a certain weight, holding it for extended periods can easily lead to arm fatigue, especially when multiple cups of coffee need to be extracted at once. This further complicates the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to design a support frame that can fix the coffee machine while it is extracting coffee, thereby freeing the user's hands. After the coffee extraction is complete, the support frame can be easily stored, thus improving the user experience.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, some embodiments of this utility model provide a support frame for supporting a coffee machine, the support frame comprising:

[0005] Body; the body is used to support the coffee machine along a preset axis direction;

[0006] A support component is disposed on the body, and the support component is used to switch between a first state and a second state;

[0007] The support component is used to lift the main body away from the bearing surface that supports the support frame when switching to the first state, so that a sinking space is formed between the main body and the bearing surface, and the sinking space is used for placing the liquid storage container so that the liquid storage container can receive the coffee liquid extracted from the coffee machine.

[0008] The support component is also used to be housed at the bottom of the body when switching to the second state.

[0009] Compared to the prior art, the embodiments of this utility model, as can be seen from the above description, include a support frame comprising a main body and a support component. The main body supports the coffee machine, while the support component can switch between a first state and a second state. When the support component is switched to the first state, the main body can be lifted away from the bearing surface of the support frame, creating a recessed space between the main body and the bearing surface. This recessed space can be used to place a liquid storage container, freeing the user's hands during coffee extraction and improving the user experience. After the coffee machine has finished extracting the coffee, the support component can be switched to the second state, allowing the entire support component to be stored under the main body. This ensures that the support frame has a small volume and does not occupy too much space, making it convenient for the user to store the support frame. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the various embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that many technical details have been presented in the various embodiments of this utility model to enable the reader to better understand this application. However, the technical solutions claimed in this application can be implemented even without these technical details and with various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] The first embodiment of this utility model relates to a support frame, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the support frame is used to support the coffee machine 7, and the support frame includes: a body 1 and a support assembly 2.

[0021] Among them, such as Figure 8 As shown, the main body 1 is used to support the coffee machine 7 along a preset axis direction, and the support component 2 is disposed on the main body 1. The support component 2 is used to switch between a first state and a second state, and in combination with... Figure 1 As shown, the support component 2 is used to lift the body 1 away from the bearing surface used to support the support frame when switching to the first state, so that a sinking space 3 is formed between the body 1 and the bearing surface, and the sinking space 3 is used for placing the liquid storage container 20 so that the liquid storage container 20 can receive the coffee liquid extracted from the coffee machine 7.

[0022] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, support component 2 is also used to, when switching to the second state, such as Figure 6 As shown, it is stored at the bottom of the main body 1.

[0023] As can be seen from the above, the support frame includes a main body 1 and a support component 2. The main body 1 supports the coffee machine 7, while the support component 2 can switch between a first state and a second state. When the support component 2 is switched to the first state, the main body 1 can be lifted away from the bearing surface of the support frame, creating a recessed space 3 between the main body 1 and the bearing surface. This recessed space 3 can be used to place the liquid storage container 20, freeing the user's hands when the coffee machine 7 is extracting coffee, thus improving the user experience. After the coffee machine 7 has finished extracting coffee, the support component 2 can be switched to the second state, allowing the entire support component 2 to be stored under the main body 1. This ensures that the support frame has a small volume and does not occupy too much space, making it convenient for the user to store the support frame.

[0024] Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the body 1 has an upper surface 11 and a lower surface 12 opposite to the upper surface 11 along a preset axis direction, and the body 1 is also provided with a positioning hole 13 along the preset axis direction. Simultaneously, combined with... Figure 8 As shown, the positioning hole 13 is used to position the coffee machine 7, allowing the coffee machine 7 to be supported and fixed on the body 1. Furthermore, through... Figure 8 It is easy to see that since the outer diameter of the extraction component of the coffee machine 7 is smaller than the outer diameter of the outer shell of the coffee machine 7, the diameter of the positioning hole 13 can be controlled to be larger than the outer diameter of the extraction component and smaller than the outer diameter of the outer shell when machining the positioning hole 13. Therefore, when the support frame is used to position the coffee machine 710, the extraction component 101 of the coffee machine 7 can pass through the positioning hole 13 of the body 1, and the outer shell 102 of the coffee machine 7 can directly abut against the upper surface 11 of the body 1. Thus, when the support component 2 lifts the body 1 away from the bearing surface, the coffee machine 7 can be fixed as a whole on the body 1.

[0025] Additionally, it is worth mentioning that, in order to ensure that the support component 2 can stably support the body 1 when switching to the first state, in some embodiments, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support assembly 2 includes several support legs 21, each of which is arranged around the axis of the main body and is rotatably connected to the main body 1, and is rotatable relative to the lower surface 12 of the main body 1. When each support leg 21 rotates to a first preset position away from the lower surface 12 of the main body 1, as... Figure 1 As shown, the support assembly 2 can be switched to the first state, so that each support leg 21 can be in a nearly upright state, and the main body 1 can be lifted away from the bearing surface by each support leg 21. Conversely, when each support leg 21 rotates towards the lower surface 12 of the main body 1 to the second preset position, as shown... Figure 6 As shown, the support assembly can be switched to a second state, allowing each support leg 21 to be folded and stored on the lower surface 12 of the body 1, thus facilitating storage of the support frame by the user. However, as a preferred embodiment, in other embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, each support leg 21 can be equidistantly arranged around the circumference of the body 1, so that when each support leg 21 is rotated to the first preset position, the supporting force can be evenly distributed around the body 1, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of each support leg 21 in supporting the body 1, so that when the coffee machine 7 is positioned on the body 1, it can effectively prevent the support frame from tipping over due to weak local supporting force.

[0026] Furthermore, in order to enable each support leg 21 to be rotatably connected to the body 1, in some other embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the main body 1 has a portion protruding along its circumference, allowing several connecting portions 14 to be formed on the main body 1. The number of connecting portions 14 is the same as the number of supporting legs 21, and they correspond uniquely. Furthermore, combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, each connecting part 14 is rotatably connected to a unique corresponding support leg 21, so that each support leg 21 can rotate relative to the lower surface 12 of the body 1, thereby allowing each support leg 21 to switch between a first preset position and a second preset position. Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, each support leg 21 is also provided with a connecting groove 211 along its length, and the connecting groove 211 is positioned towards the head of the support leg 21, so that each connecting part 14 of the body 1 can be partially inserted into the connecting groove 211 of its unique corresponding support leg 21, and, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting part 14 and the support leg 21 are connected by a rotating shaft 4, so that each support leg 21 can rotate relative to the lower surface 12 of the body 1, so as to ensure that each support leg 21 can rotate between the first preset position and the second preset position.

[0027] Additionally, it is worth noting that in some other embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, each connecting part 14 also extends inclinedly away from the positioning hole 13, so that each connecting part 14 extends outward away from the upper surface 11 of the body 1, thereby ensuring that each support leg 21, when rotated to the first preset position, ... Figure 1 As shown, none of the support legs 21 encroach on the recessed space 3 below the main body 1, thus ensuring that the recessed space 3 below the main body 1 can accommodate a large liquid storage container 20. For example, the liquid storage container 20 can be a commonly used mug, etc. Of course, in other embodiments, the liquid storage container 20 can also be a coffee cup that comes with the coffee machine 7. However, in this embodiment, the type and size of the liquid storage container 20 are not specifically limited. In addition, since each connecting part 14 extends outward in a direction away from the upper surface 11 of the main body 1, each connecting part 14 can be used to limit the rotation angle of each support leg 21. Specifically, for example, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, any connecting part 14 is also used to abut against the support leg 21 along the rotation direction of the support leg 21 when the uniquely corresponding support leg 21 rotates to the first preset position, so that the support leg 21 cannot continue to rotate in that direction at this time. That is, when the support leg 21 rotates to the first preset position, it can form an interlock with the connecting part 14, thereby ensuring that the support leg 21 has sufficient supporting force to support the body 1.

[0028] However, as a preferred option, in other embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, each support leg 21 is provided with a positioning structure 5 between itself and its unique corresponding connecting part 14. Each positioning structure 5 is used to engage and position the support leg 21 with its unique corresponding connecting part 14 when the support leg 21 rotates to the first preset position or the second preset position. It is evident that by engaging and positioning the support leg 21 with the positioning structure 5 when it rotates to the first preset position or the second preset position, the supporting performance of each support leg 21 when supporting the body 1 can be further improved, and the storage of the support frame can also be further facilitated for the user.

[0029] Specifically, when each support leg 21 rotates to the first preset position or the second preset position, in order for the positioning structure 5 to achieve snap-fit ​​positioning of each support leg 21, in some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, since each connecting part 14 partially passes through the connecting groove 211 of its unique corresponding support leg 21, each connecting part 14 corresponds to its respective connecting groove 211. Each positioning structure 5 includes: a snap-fit ​​part 51, a first snap-fit ​​groove 52, and a second snap-fit ​​groove 53. The snap-fit ​​part 51 is disposed on the connecting part 14, while the first snap-fit ​​groove 52 and the second snap-fit ​​groove 53 are both disposed on the support leg 21, and are combined with... Figure 4 As shown, around the rotation direction of the support leg 21, the first slot 52 and the second slot 53 form a certain angular difference with respect to the support leg 21. This allows any locking part 51 to engage with the first slot 52 of the support leg 21 when it rotates to the first preset position. Simultaneously, any locking part 51 can also engage with the second slot 53 of the support leg 21 when it rotates to the second preset position. It is evident that by engaging the locking part 51 with the first slot 52 and the second slot 53 respectively, the support leg 21 can be stably held in its current position when rotated to either the first or second preset position, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of each support leg 21 in supporting the body 1.

[0030] Furthermore, to further improve the positioning performance of the positioning structure 5 on the support leg 21, in some embodiments, each support leg 21 has two locking parts 51, two second locking slots 52 and two second locking slots 53, and in any one support leg 21, combined with Figure 5As shown, the two locking parts 51, the two first locking slots 52, and the two second locking slots 53 can all be arranged opposite to each other along the axis of the rotating shaft 4. That is, the two locking parts 51 are respectively arranged on both sides of the support leg 21, and the two first locking slots 52 and the two second locking slots 53 are respectively arranged on the two side walls of the connecting groove 211. Thus, when the support leg 21 rotates to the first preset position, the two locking parts 51 on the support leg 21 can be locked into the two first locking slots 52 respectively. Similarly, when the support leg 21 rotates to the second preset position, the two locking parts 51 on the support leg 21 can be locked into the two second locking slots 53 respectively, thereby further improving the positioning performance of the support leg 21 when it rotates to the first preset position or the second preset position. Furthermore, since the support leg 21 is positioned at the first and second preset positions by engaging with the first slot 52 and the second slot 53 respectively through the engaging part 51, the support leg 21 has a distinct tactile feedback when rotating to the first and second preset positions, thereby effectively improving the feel of the support leg 21 during rotation and enhancing the user experience. It should also be noted that each engaging part 51 is an arc-shaped protrusion protruding from the surface of the support leg 21, while the first slot 52 and the second slot 53 are both arc-shaped grooves. This allows the engaging part 51 to achieve an arc-shaped fit with the first slot 52 and the second slot 53 respectively. This ensures that the positioning structure 5 can position the support leg 21 without affecting its positioning performance. The arc-shaped fit of the engaging part 51 with the first slot 52 or the second slot 53 also prevents the engaging part 52 from getting stuck in the first slot 52 or the second slot 53, thus not significantly hindering the rotation of the support leg 21 and facilitating user operation of the rotation of each support leg 21.

[0031] Furthermore, in order to accommodate liquid storage containers 20 of different heights within the sunken space 3 when each support leg 21 of the support frame rotates to the first preset position, in some embodiments, the length of the support leg 21 can be extended as much as possible. This allows the sunken space 3 to have a larger vertical height when each support leg 21 rotates to the first preset position, thus accommodating the placement of height-adjustable liquid storage containers 20. When each support leg 21 rotates to the second preset position, the support legs 21 can be stacked crosswise on the lower surface 12 of the main body 1, thereby significantly reducing the volume of the support frame during storage.

[0032] Furthermore, it is worth noting that in some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each support leg 21 also has an inner side 212 relative to the main body and an outer side 213 opposite to the inner side 212 along its rotation direction. Therefore, in order to further reduce the volume of the entire support frame when stored, in some other embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, each support leg 21 has a storage notch 214 along its rotation direction, so that when each support leg 21 is stacked on the lower surface 12 of the body 1, the storage notch 214 of each support leg 21 can be inserted into the adjacent support leg 21. Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are three support legs 21, which are equidistantly arranged around the circumference of the main body 1. The storage notch 214 on only one support leg 21 is located on the inner side 212, while the storage notches 214 on the other two support legs 21 are located on the outer side 212 of the corresponding support legs 21. Therefore, when storing the support frame, the two support legs with the storage notches 214 on the outer side 213 can be rotated to the second preset position, and then the support legs with the storage notches 214 on the inner side 212 can be rotated to the second preset position. This allows the storage notch 214 on each support leg 21 to be inserted into the other support leg 21 adjacent to it. This further reduces the overall height of the support frame when the support assembly 2 is switched to the second state, making it more convenient for users to store the support frame.

[0033] Of course, besides extending each support leg 21, when the user only uses a shorter liquid storage container 20, as an alternative, in other embodiments, the length of each support leg 21 can also be shortened accordingly, so that each support leg 21 is also used when rotating to the second preset position, such as Figure 7 As shown, each support leg 21 can abut against the lower surface 12 of the main body 1, meaning that the end of each support leg 21 away from the connection part 14 can point to the axis of the positioning hole 13. This allows the support frame to have a low height and small volume, making it convenient for users to store. When each support leg 21 rotates to the first preset position, the height of the recessed space 3 between the main body 1 and the bearing surface is low, which can accommodate shorter liquid storage containers 20. Of course, as a preferred solution, the support legs 21 can be designed as foldable or telescopic structures. In some embodiments, the length of each support leg 21 is adjustable, so that it can meet the placement requirements of liquid storage containers 20 of different heights in the recessed space 3, thereby further improving the practicality of the support frame.

[0034] Additionally, it's worth mentioning that, to further facilitate user storage of the support frame, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the support frame also includes a hanging part 6, which is disposed on the main body 1 and is used for hanging and storing the support frame. For example, the hanging part 6 is provided with a hanging hole 41, through which the entire support frame can be hung and stored. In other embodiments, the hanging part 6 may also be a hook or other components. However, in this embodiment, the type and structure of the hanging part 6 are not specifically limited.

[0035] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments are specific implementations of the present invention, and in practical applications, various changes can be made to them in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
