Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee device technology, and in particular to a condenser and a coffee machine. Background Technology
[0002] A coffee machine is an electrical appliance used to make coffee. It uses different technologies and principles to mix ground coffee beans with water or other ingredients through heating and pressurization to make different kinds of coffee drinks.
[0003] Some coffee machines also feature a milk frothing function to enhance the flavor of coffee drinks. This typically works by heating water to create high-temperature steam, which is then transported through steam pipes to the steam wand. The steam then froths the coffee through an exhaust vent at the end of the steam wand. However, if the residual steam in the steam pipes is directly vented after frothing, a large amount of moisture will accumulate around the machine, causing water droplets to form both inside and outside the machine. This can negatively impact the machine's lifespan and the user experience. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a condenser and coffee machine to address the problem that when residual steam in the steam pipes of existing coffee machines is directly discharged, a large amount of water vapor will appear around the machine, which will affect the machine's lifespan and user experience.
[0005] A condenser includes: a housing having a flow cavity, an inlet at the top of the housing, and an outlet at the bottom of the housing; and a condensing body including a first condensing plate, a second condensing plate, and a guide plate assembly. The first and second condensing plates are respectively adapted to be disposed in the flow cavity along a horizontal direction, and are spaced apart from top to bottom. The guide plate assembly is disposed on the first and / or the second condensing plate. The first condensing plate has a first through-hole extending along the height direction, and the second condensing plate has a second through-hole extending along the height direction. The first and second through-holes are respectively located on opposite sides of the condensing body. The first condensing plate, the second condensing plate, and the guide plate assembly cooperate with the inner wall of the flow cavity to form a bent flow channel, which connects the inlet and the outlet.
[0006] This application provides a condenser, including a housing and a condenser body. The condenser body is fitted and installed in the flow chamber of the housing. The condenser body includes a first condenser plate and a second condenser plate arranged at intervals from top to bottom. The first condenser plate and the second condenser plate are respectively provided with a first through hole and a second through hole located on opposite sides of the condenser body. Thus, when high-temperature steam / residual hot water from the coffee machine enters the flow chamber through the inlet, the steam / hot water needs to flow through a meandering flow channel formed by the first condenser plate, the second condenser plate, and the inner wall of the mounting cavity to the outlet for discharge. This not only extends the flow path of the steam / hot water but also buffers the pressure of the steam / hot water and reduces the flow rate, thereby effectively extending the heat exchange time of the steam / hot water in the condenser body. In addition, the first condenser plate and / or the second condenser plate are also provided with a guide plate assembly. The guide plate assembly not only further extends the flow path of the steam / hot water but also, together with the first condenser plate and / or the second condenser plate, greatly increases the contact area between the condenser body and the steam / hot water, allowing the steam / hot water to fully exchange heat with the condenser body and cool down to form condensate / room temperature water that is naturally discharged, thus improving the user experience.
[0007] In one embodiment, the number of first condenser plates is at least two, and the number of second condenser plates is at least one, with the first and second condenser plates arranged alternately. By setting at least two first condenser plates and one second condenser plate and arranging them alternately, a multi-bend, significantly extended flow channel can be formed within a limited space, thereby effectively extending the residence time of steam / hot water in the condenser body and improving heat exchange efficiency. Furthermore, when the steam / hot water from the coffee machine is discharged to the outside through the condenser, the repeatedly tortuous flow channel also achieves efficient attenuation of the water flow velocity, which is more conducive to water cooling and creates a noise reduction effect.
[0008] In one embodiment, two adjacent first condensing plates and second condensing plates are connected by the baffle assembly. By employing this structure, on the one hand, the baffle assembly establishes a stable multi-point connection between the first and second condensing plates, significantly improving the reliability and structural rigidity of the condenser body; on the other hand, by tightly connecting adjacent first and second condensing plates using the baffle assembly, the baffle assembly acts as a sealing barrier, creating a meandering steam condensation path between the two first and second condensing plates. This effectively extends the residence time of high-temperature steam within the condenser body, thus improving the condensation effect.
[0009] In one embodiment, the first condenser plate, the second condenser plate, and the guide plate assembly are integrally formed. This eliminates the assembly steps and errors required for component connection, effectively reducing manufacturing costs and weight, and achieving performance optimization and improved production efficiency.
[0010] In one embodiment, the top wall of the first condenser plate is provided with a first inclined surface, which slopes downward toward the first through hole. By providing the first inclined surface, the liquid on the first condenser plate can be better guided to slide downward toward the first through hole and drip into the second condenser plate below or the bottom of the flow cavity, so that the liquid in the condenser can be fully discharged, avoiding water accumulation and hygiene hazards such as bacterial growth.
[0011] In one embodiment, the top wall of the second condenser plate is provided with a second inclined surface, which slopes downward toward the second through hole. By providing the second inclined surface, the liquid on the second condenser plate can be better guided to slide downward toward the second through hole and drip into the first condenser plate below or the bottom of the flow cavity, so that the liquid in the condenser can be fully discharged, avoiding water accumulation and hygiene hazards such as bacterial growth.
[0012] In one embodiment, the baffle assembly includes at least two baffles, which are staggered along the length of the first condenser plate and / or the second condenser plate. By providing at least two staggered baffles, a bent flow channel can be formed between adjacent first condenser plates or second condenser plates. This structural design can extend the residence time of steam / hot water in the first or second condenser plate, thereby improving the condensation effect of the condenser.
[0013] In one embodiment, the top of the housing is recessed inward to form a connecting portion, and the outer wall of the connecting portion is provided with a connecting post for connecting the flow guide assembly. The connecting post is provided with the inlet. By using the recessed connecting portion, axial clearance space is provided for the installation and connection of the connecting post and the flow guide assembly, thereby avoiding interference with surrounding components, and the structure is more compact, significantly reducing the overall profile height of the components.
[0014] In one embodiment, the condensing body further includes a third condensing plate, which is horizontally fitted at the top of the flow cavity. The sidewall of the third condensing plate is recessed to form a groove, which is fitted to the connecting portion facing the flow cavity. The third condensing plate is located below the inlet and divides the flow cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity. The first and second condensing plates are sequentially spaced from top to bottom within the second cavity. The third condensing plate has a third through-hole connecting the first and second cavities. With this structure, steam / hot water enters the first cavity from the inlet, then enters the second cavity through the third through-hole, and then flows to the outlet through the flow channel formed by the first condensing plate, the second condensing plate, the guide plate assembly, and the inner wall of the second cavity. This further extends the medium condensation path, improving heat exchange efficiency. Simultaneously, the fitted installation of the third condensing plate with its groove and the connecting portion makes the overall layout extremely compact, achieving simultaneous optimization of device miniaturization and condensation performance.
[0015] In one embodiment, the third condensing plate is connected to the first condensing plate via the baffle assembly. By employing this structure, on the one hand, the baffle assembly establishes a stable multi-point connection between the first and third condensing plates, significantly improving the reliability and structural rigidity of the condensing body; on the other hand, the baffle assembly tightly connects the first and third condensing plates, acting as a sealing barrier, creating a meandering steam condensation path between them. This effectively extends the residence time of high-temperature steam within the condensing body, thus improving the condensation effect.
[0016] In one embodiment, the first condenser plate, the third condenser plate, and the baffle plate assembly are integrally formed. This eliminates the assembly steps and errors required for component connection, effectively reducing manufacturing costs and weight, and achieving performance optimization and improved production efficiency.
[0017] In one embodiment, the bottom wall of the flow chamber extends downwards towards the outlet. This structure better guides the liquid at the bottom of the flow chamber to the outlet for full discharge, preventing water accumulation and potential hygiene hazards such as bacterial growth. In another embodiment, the outer casing includes a first shell and a second shell, with the first shell detachably mounted on the second shell. The first shell and the second shell together form the flow chamber. By using a split outer casing, the first shell can be detachably mounted on the second shell and together form the flow chamber. This not only facilitates manufacturing and assembly but also allows for quick opening of the cavity for cleaning and maintenance of the condenser without damaging the overall structure.
[0018] In one embodiment, a sealing ring is also included for sealing the connection gap between the first housing and the second housing.
[0019] In one embodiment, the first condenser plate, the second condenser plate, and the baffle assembly are all made of aluminum alloy.
[0020] A second aspect of this application provides a coffee machine.
[0021] A coffee machine includes the aforementioned condenser. The coffee machine provided in the second aspect of this application, by employing any of the aforementioned condensers, allows high-temperature steam / residual hot water in the coffee machine to flow through a meandering flow channel formed by the cooperation of a first condenser plate, a second condenser plate, and the inner wall of the mounting cavity, towards the outlet for discharge when entering the flow chamber via the inlet. This not only extends the flow path of the steam / hot water but also buffers the pressure of the steam / hot water, reducing its flow rate. Furthermore, the cooperation between the guide plate assembly and the first and / or second condenser plates significantly increases the contact area between the condenser body and the steam / hot water. This allows the steam / hot water to fully exchange heat with the condenser body, cool down, and then naturally discharge as condensate / room-temperature water, thus improving the user experience.
[0022] In one embodiment, the system includes a water pump, a boiler assembly, a first tee connector, a steam rod, and the condenser. The inlet includes a first inlet. The inlet of the boiler assembly is connected to the water pump. The first tee connector is connected to the outlet of the boiler assembly. One outlet of the first tee connector is connected to the steam rod, and the other outlet of the first tee connector is connected to the first inlet. Using this structure, the water pump assembly delivers water to the boiler assembly for heating and forming high-temperature steam. The steam is then transmitted to the steam rod via a steam pipe and one outlet of the first tee connector. The steam is then used to froth coffee through an exhaust port at the end of the steam rod. After frothing, the residual steam flows through the steam pipe and the other outlet of the first tee connector to the first inlet of the condenser for heat exchange and condensation, turning into condensate which is then naturally discharged.
[0023] In one embodiment, the input port further includes a second input port and a second tee connector, the second tee connector being connected to the output end of the water pump, one output end of the second tee connector being connected to the input end of the boiler assembly, and the other output end of the second tee connector being connected to the second input port.
[0024] In one embodiment, the input port further includes a third input port and a hot water output module, which is connected to the output end of the boiler assembly. The first outlet of the hot water output module is used to output hot water, and the second outlet of the hot water output module is connected to the third input port.
[0025] In one embodiment, the hot water output module includes a brewing head, a solenoid valve, and a hot water tank. The brewing head is connected to the output end of the hot water output module. The brewing head has a brewing port and a liquid outlet. The brewing port is used for brewing coffee. The liquid outlet is connected to the hot water tank through a pipeline. The solenoid valve is installed on the pipeline. The hot water tank has a first liquid outlet and a second liquid outlet. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0029] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0030] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0031] The condenser of some embodiments of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment discloses a condenser, including: a shell 1, the shell 1 having a flow cavity 101, an inlet at the top of the shell 1, and an outlet 105 at the bottom of the shell 1; a condensing body 2, the condensing body 2 including a first condensing plate 21, a second condensing plate 22, and a guide plate assembly 23, the first condensing plate 21 and the second condensing plate 22 being adapted to be disposed in the flow cavity 101 along the horizontal direction, the first condensing plate 21 and the second condensing plate 22 being distributed alternately from top to bottom, and the guide plate assembly 23 being provided with... The first condenser plate 21 and / or the second condenser plate 22 are placed on the first condenser plate 21 and / or the second condenser plate 22. The first condenser plate 21 is provided with a first through hole 201 that extends through the height direction, and the second condenser plate 22 is provided with a second through hole 202 that extends through the height direction. The first through hole 201 and the second through hole 202 are respectively located on opposite sides of the condenser body 2. The first condenser plate 21, the second condenser plate 22, the guide plate assembly 23 and the inner wall of the flow cavity 101 cooperate to form a bent flow channel 203. The flow channel 203 connects the inlet and the outlet 105.
[0033] This application provides a condenser, including a housing 1 and a condenser body 2. The condenser body 2 is fitted and installed in the flow cavity 101 of the housing 1. The condenser body 2 includes a first condenser plate 21 and a second condenser plate 22 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The first condenser plate 21 and the second condenser plate 22 are respectively provided with a first through hole 201 and a second through hole 202 located on opposite sides of the condenser body 2. Thus, when high-temperature steam / residual hot water from the coffee machine enters the flow cavity 101 through the inlet, the steam / hot water needs to flow to the outlet 1 through the meandering flow channel 203 formed by the cooperation of the first condenser plate 21, the second condenser plate 22 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity. The 05 discharge not only extends the flow path of steam / hot water but also buffers the pressure of steam / hot water and reduces the flow rate, thereby effectively extending the heat exchange time of steam / hot water within the condenser body 2. In addition, the first condenser plate 21 and / or the second condenser plate 22 are equipped with a guide plate assembly 23. The guide plate assembly 23 not only further extends the flow path of steam / hot water but also, in conjunction with the first condenser plate 21 and / or the second condenser plate 22, greatly increases the contact area between the condenser body 2 and the steam / hot water, allowing the steam / hot water to fully exchange heat with the condenser body 2 and cool down before forming condensate / room temperature water that is naturally discharged, thus improving the user experience.

By setting at least two first condenser plates 21 and one second condenser plate 22 and arranging them alternately, a flow channel 203 with multiple bends and significant extension can be formed in a limited space, thereby effectively extending the residence time of steam / hot water in the condenser body 2 and improving heat exchange efficiency. In addition, when the steam / hot water of the coffee machine is discharged to the outside through the condenser, the repeatedly tortuous flow channel 203 can also achieve efficient attenuation of the water flow velocity, which is more conducive to water cooling and noise reduction.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the top wall of the second condenser plate 22 is provided with a second inclined surface 221, which slopes downward toward the second through hole 202. By providing the second inclined surface 221, the liquid on the second condenser plate 22 can be better guided to slide downward toward the second through hole 202 and drip into the bottom of the first condenser plate 21 below or the flow cavity 101, so that the liquid in the condenser can be fully discharged, avoiding water accumulation and causing hygiene hazards such as bacterial growth.

By adopting the above structure, steam / hot water enters the first cavity 1011 from the inlet, then enters the second cavity through the third through hole 204, and then flows out to the outlet 105 through the flow channel 203 formed by the first condensing plate 21, the second condensing plate 22, the guide plate assembly 23 and the inner wall of the second cavity. This further extends the medium condensation path and improves the heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the third condensing plate 24, through its groove and the fitting installation of the connecting part 121, makes the overall layout extremely compact, realizing the simultaneous optimization of device miniaturization and condensation performance.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the bottom wall of the flow cavity 101 extends downwards towards the outlet 105. By adopting the above structure, the liquid at the bottom of the flow cavity 101 can be better guided to flow towards the outlet 105 for full discharge, avoiding water accumulation and potential hygiene hazards such as bacterial growth.

Furthermore, the cooperation between the guide plate assembly 23 and the first condenser plate 21 and / or the second condenser plate 22 significantly increases the contact area between the condenser body 2 and the steam / hot water. This allows the steam / hot water to fully exchange heat with the condenser body 2, cool down, and then naturally discharge as condensate / room temperature water, thus improving the user experience.

After foaming, the residual steam can flow through the other output end of the steam pipeline and the first tee connector 400 to the first inlet 102 of the condenser 100 to exchange heat with the condenser body 2 and condense into condensate, which is then discharged naturally.
