Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliances, specifically to a coffee grinding mechanism and a coffee machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most coffee machines on the market have a fixed design for the powder outlet of their built-in or separate grinders, making it difficult for users to clean thoroughly. Since coffee grounds contain oils and moisture, residual powder particles can easily accumulate in and around the outlet after prolonged use, especially in humid environments, gradually forming mold and bacteria. This mold not only produces off-flavors, affecting the original taste of the coffee, but may also release harmful bacteria and mycotoxins, such as aflatoxin, posing a potential threat to the health of drinkers. Long-term consumption may cause respiratory discomfort or digestive problems. Utility Model Content

[0017] Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram showing the separation of the grinding body and the powder dispensing chamber in a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0018] Figure 3 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the powder discharge chamber in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] See Figures 1-3 An automatic coffee machine includes an extraction mechanism and a grinding mechanism. The grinding mechanism grinds coffee beans into coffee powder, and the extraction mechanism receives the coffee powder and extracts it with hot water to form coffee liquid. Both the grinding mechanism and the extraction mechanism are part of the automatic coffee machine.

[0021] The grinding mechanism includes a housing, a grinding body 1, and a powder dispensing chamber 2. The grinding body 1 is disposed within the housing, which has a detachable opening. This detachable opening can be understood as an opening on the housing. The grinding body 1 includes a bean hopper, a grinding assembly 12, and a drive assembly 13. The bean hopper holds coffee beans, the grinding assembly 12 grinds the coffee beans into coffee powder, and the drive assembly 13 drives the grinding assembly 12. The grinding assembly 12 includes a powder dispensing port 121, which is detachably connected to the powder dispensing chamber 2. The powder dispensing chamber 2 is configured to be inserted into or removed from the housing through the detachable opening, allowing the powder dispensing port 121 to connect or separate from the powder dispensing chamber 2. The coffee powder ground by the grinding assembly 12 is ejected from the powder dispensing port 121 into the powder dispensing chamber 2, which guides the coffee powder to the extraction mechanism for extraction. Because the coffee powder dispenser 2 may be affected by moisture from the extraction mechanism, coffee powder may accumulate inside, eventually leading to mold growth. The dispenser 2 can be directly removed through the disassembly port for cleaning and drying, ensuring a cleaner and more hygienic process.

[0022] In this embodiment, the powder dispensing chamber 2 is inserted into the disassembly port along an installation direction, specifically, the installation direction is vertical. The powder dispensing port 121 includes a first connector 122 arranged along the installation direction, and the powder dispensing chamber 2 includes a second connector 21 adapted to and connected to the first connector 122; the powder dispensing chamber 2 can be disassembled from the disassembly port in the opposite direction of the installation. The arrangement of the first connector 122 and the second connector 21 makes the connection between the grinder body 1 and the powder dispensing chamber 2 more stable and reliable.

[0023] The first connector 122 includes guide rails 1221 disposed on both sides of the powder outlet 121 along the installation direction. The powder outlet hopper 2 includes a powder inlet 22 and guide blocks 212 disposed on both sides of the powder inlet 22. The guide blocks 212 are slidably connected to the guide rails 1221. When the powder outlet hopper 2 is installed along the installation direction, the guide blocks 212 and the guide rails 1221 can guide the powder outlet hopper 2 to correspond with the powder outlet 121. In this embodiment, the width of the guide blocks 212 gradually narrows at the end along the installation direction to facilitate the docking of the guide blocks 212 and the guide rails 1221.

[0024] In this embodiment, the first connector 122 includes a protrusion 1222 disposed on the outside of the powder outlet 121, and the second connector 21 includes a recess 211 corresponding to the protrusion 1222. The protrusion 1222 and the recess 211 are connected to each other, which can realize the docking of the powder outlet 121 and the powder dispensing chamber 2.

[0025] In some simpler alternatives, the first connector 122 includes a first magnet disposed at the powder outlet 121, the powder outlet 2 includes a powder inlet 22, and a second magnet disposed at the powder inlet 22, wherein the first magnet and the second magnet are attracted to each other.

[0026] In this embodiment, the powder dispensing chamber 2 includes a downward-facing powder inlet 23 and an upper opening 24 corresponding to the powder inlet 23. The powder dispensing chamber 2 includes a cover 25 disposed on the upper opening 24, and the cover 25 is detachably disposed on the upper opening 24. After the cover 25 is removed, the powder dispensing chamber 2 can be easily rinsed directly with water, and water can flow directly from the upper opening 24 to the powder inlet 23, making rinsing convenient.

[0027] In this embodiment, the cover 25 includes a handle 251. The user can easily lift the powder dispensing chamber 2 out of the outer shell.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the design concept of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to the present utility model by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present utility model using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present utility model.
