Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee machine technology, and in particular to a coffee machine assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Coffee machines have become common equipment in modern homes and offices. Coffee machines include those for grinding beans only, those that grind and distribute the beans simultaneously, and those for extraction. To better experience coffee quality, users often grind and extract their own coffee. This method requires both a grinder and an extractor. First, the grinder grinds the coffee beans and distributes the powder. Then, the extractor heats the water. Once the water reaches the preset extraction temperature, high-pressure extraction takes place. To save time, users can also start both the grinder and extractor simultaneously. However, because the grinder and extractor are two independent devices, users sometimes only turn on the grinder and forget to turn on the extractor. When they want to extract, they turn it on and have to wait for the heating module to heat the water from room temperature to steam. This waiting time reduces the efficiency of coffee making and affects the user experience, especially in today's fast-paced lifestyle where users expect a more efficient coffee-making solution.

The control module 72 controls the heating module 71 to work based on the signal received by the second wireless communication module 73. The blade assembly 12 grinds the coffee beans into coffee powder. The coffee powder enters the powder feeding tube 3 from the grinding chamber 11 and then enters the powder distribution module 4. The powder distribution module 4 distributes the coffee powder into the extraction container 8. During this process, the heating module 71 has heated the water to a steam state. The user can place the extraction container 8 on the nozzle 74 for immediate extraction.

[0023] In one embodiment, the difference from the preferred embodiment lies in the different way of detecting the start of operation of the bean grinding module 1. Specifically, it also includes a second detection module (not shown in the figure). The blade assembly 12 is within the detection range of the second detection module. The second detection module is used to detect the start of rotation of the blade assembly 12 and send information. At the same time, the control system 13 controls the first wireless communication module 2 to feed back information to the second wireless communication module 73. In this embodiment, the second detection module is a vibrator, which is located on the bean grinding module 1 and outside the bean grinding chamber.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this coffee machine combination are as follows: By setting a first wireless communication module in the grinding mechanism and a second wireless communication module in the extraction mechanism, when the grinding module starts working, the control system controls the first wireless communication module to send information back to the second wireless communication module. The control module controls the heating module to work according to the signal received by the second wireless communication module, so that when the grinding module starts working, the heating module starts working simultaneously for preheating. When the coffee grounds are dispensed, the heating module has already heated the water to a steam state, allowing the user to extract coffee immediately without waiting, saving the user time.
