Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of coffee making equipment, and specifically provides a coffee machine. Background Technology

[0002] Coffee machines, as common beverage preparation equipment, typically have a drip tray at the bottom to collect wastewater generated during operation (such as extraction residue and wastewater from cleaning the brew head) and liquid spilled from cups, preventing contamination of the countertop or corrosion of internal components. To improve the user experience, most modern coffee machines have a cover for the drip tray, with an inlet to guide liquid into the tray. This cover also conceals wastewater and residue within the tray, enhancing the machine's aesthetics.

[0003] However, in actual use, the liquid flowing from the coffee machine's outlet (such as coffee liquid from the coffee outlet) often reflects off the inlet and splashes out of the inlet into the drip tray, contaminating the lid and countertop. This results in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] One objective of this invention is to solve the problem that liquid from existing coffee machines easily splashes onto the drip tray cover and countertop.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a coffee machine, comprising: main body; A water receiving tray is installed at the bottom of the main body, the water receiving tray defining an upward-opening liquid storage cavity, at least a portion of the liquid storage cavity being located on the front side of the main body; A cover plate is provided on the water receiving tray, and the cover plate is provided with at least one water inlet to connect to the liquid storage chamber; A splash guard is disposed between the cover plate and the water receiving tray, and has a plurality of water passages aligned with the water inlet. The depth of the water passages is selected from any value between 2 mm and 10 mm, so that the liquid entering the water inlet enters the liquid storage chamber through the water passages and prevents the liquid from splashing out of the water inlet.

[0006] Optionally, the spacing between two adjacent water inlets is selected from any value from 0.5 mm to 3 mm.

[0007] Optionally, the water inlet is a strip-shaped opening extending in the left-right direction of the coffee machine.

[0008] Optionally, the two sidewalls extending to the left and right of the water inlet are respectively provided with chamfers at the ends near the cover plate to prevent the liquid entering the water inlet from splashing out of the water inlet due to impacting the sidewalls of the water inlet.

[0009] Optionally, the splash guard includes a U-shaped frame, a plate body disposed within the U-shaped frame, and a supporting rib disposed on the plate body. The top surface of the plate body is lower than the top surface of the U-shaped frame. The U-shaped frame abuts against the water receiving tray and the cover plate, respectively. The water outlet is defined by two adjacent supporting ribs.

[0010] Optionally, the splash guard defines a drain outlet between the plate body and the U-shaped frame, and the plate body is provided with a plurality of water guiding ribs or water guiding grooves extending toward the drain outlet; the cover plate is provided with at least one positioning port located on the top side of the water guiding ribs or water guiding grooves, the positioning port penetrating the cover plate and used to position a target object placed on the cover plate; the liquid flowing from the positioning port to the splash guard flows to the drain outlet via the water guiding ribs or water guiding grooves, and finally flows into the liquid storage chamber.

[0011] Optionally, there are two positioning ports, one of which is in the shape of a "〖" and the other is in the shape of a "〗". There are two water inlets distributed between the two positioning ports, and both water inlets are in the shape of a "□". The two positioning ports and the two water inlets together form a shape of "〖□□〗". And / or, the target object is an electronic scale.

[0012] Optionally, the splash guard is provided with reinforcing ribs on the bottom side of the plate body to increase the structural strength of the splash guard; and / or, the splash guard is provided with anti-mistake protrusions on the bottom side of the U-shaped frame, and the water receiving tray is provided with anti-mistake recesses, with the anti-mistake protrusions embedded in the anti-mistake recesses.

[0013] Optionally, the drip tray defines a drainage cavity located behind the liquid storage cavity, the drainage cavity being used to collect liquid generated during the operation of the coffee machine; the drainage cavity is connected to the liquid storage cavity to introduce the liquid in the drainage cavity into the liquid storage cavity.

[0014] Optionally, the bottom surface of the drainage cavity is higher than the bottom surface of the liquid storage cavity by any value between 2mm and 15mm to prevent liquid in the liquid storage cavity from flowing back into the drainage cavity; and / or, the coffee machine further includes a float installed in the water receiving tray, the float being configured to rise and fall with the rise and fall of the liquid level in the liquid storage cavity, and the cover plate is provided with an observation port for observing the float.

[0015] Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art will understand that in the aforementioned technical solution of this utility model, by setting a splash guard between the cover and the drip tray, and setting multiple water outlets aligned with the water inlet on the splash guard, the liquid flowing from the coffee machine can enter the liquid storage chamber through the water inlet and the water outlets. By selecting the depth of the water outlets from any value between 2mm and 10mm, the liquid entering the water outlets is prevented from splashing upwards by the action of the water outlet's peripheral wall; and because the water outlets have a certain depth, the liquid entering the liquid storage chamber is also blocked by the peripheral wall of the water outlet when it splashes, preventing it from splashing from the water inlet onto the cover and the countertop. At the same time, because the water outlets have a certain depth, the peripheral wall of the water outlets can also block the user's view, preventing the user from seeing the wastewater and residue in the drip tray, thus improving the user's visual effect and user experience.

[0016] Furthermore, by selecting any value from 0.5mm to 3mm between the spacing between two adjacent water inlets, the top surface of the peripheral wall of the water inlet has a smaller impact area on the liquid, resulting in a weaker reflection of the liquid.

[0017] Furthermore, by setting chamfers on the two side walls extending to the left and right of the inlet near the end of the cover plate, the liquid entering the inlet is allowed to enter the storage chamber through the inlet, while also preventing the liquid entering the inlet from splashing out of the inlet due to impacting the top surface of the peripheral wall of the inlet, thus contaminating the cover plate and the platform.

[0018] Furthermore, by setting a drain outlet and multiple water-guiding ribs or channels extending towards the drain outlet on the splash guard, and setting a positioning port on the top side of the water-guiding ribs or channels on the cover plate, liquid flowing from the positioning port onto the splash guard can flow through the water-guiding ribs or channels to the drain outlet and finally into the liquid storage chamber. At the same time, the water-guiding ribs or channels can also decorate the drain outlet, improving the aesthetics of the coffee machine. In addition, the positioning port can also position the electronic scale placed on the cover plate, preventing the scale from slipping.

[0019] Furthermore, by making the two positioning ports and the two water inlets form a “□□” shape, the target object placed on the cover can cover the two water inlets, enhancing the aesthetics of the coffee machine; it can also increase the water inlet area of ​​the cover, preventing liquid dripping onto the cover from overflowing; and it can also avoid the single opening being too large, thus reducing the structural strength of the cover.

[0026] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of this utility model, mm represents millimeter, cm represents centimeter, and m represents meter.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the coffee machine 001 includes a main body 110, a water tank 120, a water tray 200, a cover plate 300, and a splash guard 400.

[0028] The main body 110 is used to make coffee.

[0029] The water tank 120 is used to supply water to the main body 110. Of course, those skilled in the art can omit the water tank 120 as needed, and then connect the main body 110 directly to a water source such as a tap or a water dispenser, or have the user manually add water to the main body 110.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a water receiving tray 200 is installed at the bottom of the main body 110, and the water receiving tray 200 defines an upward-facing liquid storage cavity 201, at least a portion of which is located on the front side of the main body 110.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a cover plate 300 is placed on the water receiving tray 200, and the cover plate 300 is provided with at least one water inlet 301 to connect to the liquid storage chamber 201.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the splash guard 400 is disposed between the cover plate 300 and the water receiving tray 200, and has a plurality of water passages 401 aligned with the water inlet 301. The depth of the water passages 401 is selected from any value between 2 mm and 10 mm, so that the liquid entering the water inlet 301 enters the liquid storage chamber 201 through the water passages 401, and prevents the liquid from splashing out of the water inlet 301.

[0033] The depth of the water inlet 401 can be any feasible value such as 2mm, 3mm, 5mm, 6mm, 6.5mm, 8mm, or 10mm.

[0034] Those skilled in the art will understand that by providing a splash guard 400 between the cover plate 300 and the drip tray 200, and by providing a plurality of water outlets 401 on the splash guard 400 aligned with the water inlet 301, liquid flowing from the coffee machine can enter the liquid storage chamber 201 through the water inlet 301 and the water outlets 401. By selecting the depth of the water outlets 401 from any value between 2 mm and 10 mm, the liquid entering the water outlets 401 is prevented from splashing upwards by the action of the peripheral wall of the water outlets 401; and because the water outlets 401 have a certain depth, the liquid entering the liquid storage chamber 201 will also be blocked by the peripheral wall of the water outlets 401 when it splashes, and will not splash from the water inlet 301 onto the cover plate 300 and the countertop. At the same time, because the water outlet 401 has a certain depth, the surrounding wall of the water outlet 401 can block the user's view, preventing the user from seeing the wastewater and residue in the water receiving tray 200, thus improving the user's visual effect and user experience.

[0035] Furthermore, the spacing between two adjacent water inlets 401 is selected from any value between 0.5mm and 3mm. For example, any feasible value such as 0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, etc.

[0036] Those skilled in the art will understand that by selecting any value from 0.5 mm to 3 mm between the spacing between two adjacent water inlets 401, the top surface of the peripheral wall of the water inlet 401 has a smaller impact area on the liquid, resulting in a weaker reflection of the liquid.

[0037] from Figures 1 to 5 As can be seen, the water inlet 401 is a strip-shaped opening extending in the left and right direction along the coffee machine 001. Furthermore, the two side walls extending from the left and right of the water inlet 401 are respectively provided with chamfers 411 at the ends near the cover plate 300 to prevent the liquid entering the water inlet 301 from splashing out of the water inlet 301 due to impact with the side walls of the water inlet 401.

[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, the water receiving tray 200 can be detachably connected to the main body 110. That is, after the water receiving tray 200 is installed on the main body 110, it can be removed from the main body 110 so that when the liquid in the water receiving tray 200 is full, the water receiving tray 200 can be removed and the liquid in the water receiving tray 200 can be poured out.

[0039] In this invention, the liquid entering the water receiving tray 200 can be water, coffee, milk, or other liquids overflowing from a container such as a water cup, or coffee or water flowing out or dripping from the coffee outlet of the main body 110.

[0040] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the drip tray 200 defines a drainage cavity 202 located behind the liquid storage cavity 201. The drainage cavity 202 is used to collect the liquid generated during the operation of the coffee machine 001. The drainage cavity 202 communicates with the liquid storage cavity 201 to introduce the liquid in the drainage cavity 202 into the liquid storage cavity 201.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in the installed state, the drainage cavity 202 is located below the main body 110 and is hidden by the main body 110.

[0042] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the drainage cavity 202 is higher than the bottom surface of the liquid storage cavity 201 by any value from 2mm to 15mm (e.g., 2mm, 3mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, etc.) to prevent the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 201 from flowing back into the drainage cavity 202.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the water receiving tray 200 is provided with a communication notch 203 between the liquid storage chamber 201 and the drainage chamber 202, so as to connect the liquid storage chamber 201 and the drainage chamber 202 through the communication notch 203.

[0044] It should be noted that, in some embodiments of this utility model, the number of drainage cavities 202 is not limited to 2 to 100. Figure 4 As shown in the two diagrams, those skilled in the art can set the number of drainage cavities 202 to any feasible number, such as one, three, or four, according to actual needs.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the cover plate 300 is provided with a water inlet 301 and a positioning port 302. The water inlet 301 and the positioning port 302 respectively penetrate the cover plate 300 and both allow liquid dripping onto the cover plate 300 to flow into the liquid storage chamber 201. The positioning port 302 is also used to position the target object 130 placed on the cover plate 300 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 and Figure 2 (As shown).

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, the bottom side of the target object 130 is provided with a support leg 131, which is adapted to the positioning port 302 so that the support leg 131 can be inserted into the positioning port 302, thereby positioning the target object 130 by the positioning port 302.

[0047] The target object 130 can be an electronic scale, which can be a component of the coffee machine 001 or can be configured separately by the user.

[0048] In some embodiments of this utility model, there are two positioning ports 302, one positioning port 302 is in the shape of "〖" and the other positioning port 302 is in the shape of "〗"; there are two water inlets 301 distributed between the two positioning ports 302, and both water inlets 301 are in the shape of "□"; the two positioning ports 302 and the two water inlets 301 together form the shape of "〖□□〗".

[0049] Those skilled in the art will understand that by making the two positioning ports 302 and the two water inlets 301 form a “□□” shape, the target object 130 placed on the cover plate 300 can cover the two water inlets 301, enhancing the aesthetics of the coffee machine 001; it can also increase the water inlet area of ​​the cover plate 300, preventing liquid dripping onto the cover plate 300 from overflowing; and it can also avoid the single opening being too large, thus reducing the structural strength of the cover plate 300.

[0050] from Figures 3 to 5 and Figure 9 As can be seen, the cover plate 300 is also provided with a water inlet 301 at a position away from the positioning port 302, so that after the target object 130 is placed on the cover plate 300, the liquid on the cover plate 300 can flow into the liquid storage chamber 201 of the water receiving tray 200 through the water inlet 301.

[0051] In addition, in other embodiments of this utility model, those skilled in the art can also configure multiple liquid outlets for the coffee machine 001 as needed, and align the top of each inlet 301 with a liquid outlet.

[0052] like Figures 6 to 9As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a plurality of support ribs 410 are provided on the side of the splash guard 400 facing the cover plate 300. The support ribs 410 abut against the cover plate 300 to support the cover plate 300. Furthermore, at least a portion of the plurality of support ribs 410 is located on the bottom side of the water inlet 301. The splash guard 400 defines a water outlet 401 between two adjacent support ribs 410, that is, the water outlet 401 is defined by two adjacent support ribs 410. This also causes the support ribs 410 to form at least a portion of the peripheral wall of the water outlet 401, specifically forming two side walls extending left and right from the water outlet 401.

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, the end of the support rib 410 near the cover plate 300 is provided with a chamfer 411 to prevent the liquid entering the inlet 301 from splashing out of the inlet 301 due to impact with the support rib 410.

[0054] The cross-section of chamfer 411 can be either a plane or a circular arc.

[0055] Those skilled in the art will understand that without the chamfer 411, the liquid entering the inlet 301 would impact the top surface of the support rib 410 and be reflected upwards out of the inlet 301. With the chamfer 411, the liquid entering the inlet 301 is impacted by the chamfer 411 and reflected obliquely into the liquid storage chamber 201.

[0056] Furthermore, those skilled in the art can, as needed, enable Figure 6 The two chamfers 411 are joined together to omit the need for Figure 6 The plane between the two chamfers 411 is designed to enhance the splash-proof effect of the support rib 410.

[0057] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the splash guard 400 includes a U-shaped frame 420 and a plate body 430 disposed within the U-shaped frame 420. The top surface of the plate body 430 is lower than the top surface of the U-shaped frame 420, so as to confine the liquid flowing down from the water inlet 301 and the positioning port 302 to the inside of the U-shaped frame 420. The U-shaped frame 420 abuts against the water receiving tray 200 and the cover plate 300 respectively, and the water outlet 401 and the support rib 410 are both formed on the plate body 430.

[0058] Continue reading Figure 6 and Figure 8 The splash guard 400 defines a drain outlet 402 between the plate body 430 and the U-shaped frame 420. The plate body 430 is provided with a plurality of water guiding ribs 440 extending toward the drain outlet 402. The positioning port 302 on the cover plate 300 is located on the top side of the water guiding ribs 440, so that the liquid flowing from the positioning port 302 onto the splash guard 400 flows through the water guiding ribs 440 to the drain outlet 402, and finally flows into the liquid storage chamber 201.

[0059] In addition, those skilled in the art can also configure the water guide rib 440 as a water guide channel as needed.

[0060] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the splash guard 400 is provided with reinforcing ribs 450 on the bottom side of the plate body 430 to increase the structural strength of the splash guard 400.

[0061] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the splash guard 400 has a foolproof protrusion 460 on the bottom side of the U-shaped frame 420, and the water receiving tray 200 has a foolproof recess 204. In the assembled state, the foolproof protrusion 460 is embedded in the foolproof recess 204.

[0062] Those skilled in the art will understand that the design of the anti-foolproof protrusion 460 and the anti-foolproof recess 204 can prevent the splash guard 400 from being installed backwards, especially in the front-to-back direction.

[0063] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the splash guard 400 can be integrally manufactured using a one-piece molding process.

[0064] like Figures 1 to 5 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the coffee machine 001 also includes a float 500 installed in the water receiving tray 200. The float 500 is configured to rise and fall with the rise and fall of the liquid level in the liquid storage chamber 201. The cover plate 300 is provided with an observation port 303 for observing the float 500.

[0065] As shown in the figure, the float 500 has a cylindrical structure (not marked in the figure) that can penetrate the observation port 303. When this cylindrical structure is inserted into the observation port 303 and exposed from the observation port 303, the user can know that there is a lot of liquid in the water tray 200 and it needs to be emptied.

[0066] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a limiting groove 210 is provided in the water receiving tray 200, and the float 500 is installed in the limiting groove 210 so as to move up and down. The limiting groove 210 can be fixedly connected to the water receiving tray 200 or integrally formed.

[0067] The technical solution of this utility model has been described in conjunction with several embodiments above. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the technical principles of this utility model, those skilled in the art can disassemble and combine the technical solutions in the above embodiments, and can also make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features. Any changes, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the technical concept and / or technical principles of this utility model will fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
