Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of coffee machine technology, and in particular to a novel coffee grinder structure. Background Technology

[0002] The stall process refers to the working state of an electric motor in which the rotor (rotating part) cannot rotate or the speed is severely low due to excessive external resistance or mechanical jamming when the motor is energized.

[0003] In related technologies, existing coffee grinding systems are prone to gear slippage during stalling. Prolonged stalling due to slippage is extremely dangerous, potentially burning out the motor or damaging the mechanical structure. The significant stall torque can cause mechanical damage to the motor's bearings, gearbox, and the driven transmission mechanisms (such as gears and belts). Therefore, coffee grinding products in related technologies suffer from an irreparable problem of gear slippage after stalling. Utility Model Content

[0005] A novel coffee grinder structure includes a drive module, a second gear connected to the drive module, a first gear meshing with the second gear, and an output shaft driven by the first gear, the output shaft being connected to a grinding blade assembly; The output shaft is connected to the first gear via a coaxially rotating gear stop washer. The gear stop washer is provided with a limit hole. The first gear is provided with a stop block that cooperates with the limit hole. The stop block is provided with a guide surface. The stop block abuts against the limit hole through an elastic structure, so that when the circumferential force between the gear stop washer and the first gear is greater than a preset force, the stop block overcomes the elastic structure and disengages from the limit hole.

[0006] Furthermore, the stop block is configured as a stop glass bead, and the elastic structure is configured as a spring.

[0008] Furthermore, multiple stop glass beads are provided, and the multiple stop glass beads are arranged circumferentially around the output shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, a hollow groove is provided inside the first gear.

[0010] Furthermore, a large circular groove is provided on the top of the first gear to mate with the gear retaining washer.

[0011] Furthermore, the output shaft includes threaded connection portions at both ends and a rotating round shaft and an eccentric shaft located between the two ends. The gear stop washer is provided with an eccentric hole and is sleeved on the eccentric shaft through the eccentric hole, rotating coaxially with the output shaft.

[0012] Furthermore, the diameter of the rotating shaft is larger than the diameter of the eccentric shaft, and the gear stop washer is limited within the large circular groove by the end of the rotating shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, the first gear is provided with a central hole, and the bottom of the output shaft passes through the central hole and is connected to a limit nut.

[0014] Furthermore, the drive module includes a mounting plate, and the second gear, the first gear, and the output shaft driven by the first gear are all mounted on the mounting plate.

[0015] This application has at least one of the following beneficial effects: This application provides a novel grinder structure that prevents damage to gears and motors during stalling by using a stop glass ball-spring structure design, so that even if the product malfunctions, it can still be used normally after the stalling fault is cleared.

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a novel coffee grinder structure includes a grinding blade assembly 1, a gearbox housing 2, a gearbox assembly, and a drive module 8. The drive module 8 drives a second gear 9 connected to the drive module 8 to rotate, thereby driving a first gear 6 meshing with the second gear 9 and an output shaft 3 driven by the first gear 6 to rotate. The output shaft 3 is connected to the grinding blade assembly 1. The grinding blade assembly 1 is disposed in a mounting base 21 of the gearbox housing 2, and the gearbox assembly is disposed below the mounting base 21. The gearbox assembly includes an output shaft 3, a gear stop washer 4, a stop glass ball 5, a spring 7, and a first gear 6. The output shaft 3 is connected to the first gear 6 through a coaxially rotating gear stop washer 4. The output shaft 3 is sequentially connected to the grinding blade assembly 1 and passes through the mounting base 21 and the gear stop washer 4 of the gearbox housing 2. The gear stop washer 4 is provided with a limiting hole 42. The first gear 6 is provided with a stop block that cooperates with the limiting hole 42. The stop block is provided with a guide surface. The stop block abuts against the limiting hole 42 through an elastic structure, so that when the circumferential force between the gear stop washer 4 and the first gear 6 is greater than a preset force, the stop block overcomes the elastic structure and disengages from the limiting hole 42.

[0025] Specifically, the top of the first gear 6 is provided with a large circular groove 61 that mates with the gear stop washer 4 for mounting the gear stop washer 4. The inner wall of the large circular groove 61 abuts against the outer wall of the gear stop washer 4. The stop block is provided with a stop glass bead 5, and the elastic structure is provided with a spring 7. The first gear 6 is provided with six small circular grooves 62, and the springs 7 are respectively provided in the small circular grooves 62. Six stop glass beads 5 are provided, and the six stop glass beads 5 are arranged circumferentially around the output shaft 3. The diameter of the stop glass beads 5 is smaller than the inner diameter of the small circular grooves 62. The top of the stop glass beads 5 abuts against the limiting holes 42 of the gear stop washer 4. The first gear 6 is provided with a hollow groove 64. The bottom of the stop glass beads 5 abuts against the spring 7; the top of the stop glass beads 5 abuts against the limiting holes 42 of the gear stop washer 4. The arc of the stop glass beads 5 abutting against the limiting holes 42 serves as a guide surface. The center of the stop glass bead 5 is lower than the gear stop shim 4.

[0026] The output shaft 3 includes threaded connections at both ends and a rotating round shaft and an eccentric shaft 31 located between the two ends. A gear stop washer 4 has an eccentric hole 43 and is fitted onto the eccentric shaft 31 through the eccentric hole 43, rotating coaxially with the output shaft 3. The diameter of the rotating round shaft is larger than the diameter of the eccentric shaft 31, and the rotating round shaft and the eccentric shaft 31 are arranged vertically. The output shaft 3 is integrally formed. The gear stop washer 4 is limited within the large circular groove 61 by the end of the rotating round shaft. The first gear 6 has a central hole 63, and the bottom of the output shaft 3 passes through the central hole 63 and is connected to a limit nut. The output shaft 3 passes through the first intermediate circular hole 23 of the mounting base 21 at the top of the gearbox housing 2. The top of the output shaft 3 is threadedly connected to the grinding tool assembly 1. The output shaft 3 then sequentially passes through the eccentric hole 43 of the gear stop washer 4, the central hole 63 of the first gear 6, the mounting plate of the drive module 8, and is fixedly connected to the nut by threads.

[0027] The drive module 8 includes a mounting plate, on which the second gear 9, the first gear 6, and the output shaft 3 driven by the first gear 6 are all mounted.

[0028] The drive module 8 is equipped with a motor and a second gear 9. The second gear 9 meshes with the first gear 6. The motor drives the second gear 9 to rotate, the second gear 9 drives the first gear 6 to rotate, the first gear 6 drives the gear stop washer 4 to rotate, the gear stop washer 4 drives the output shaft 3 to rotate, and the output shaft 3 drives the grinding assembly 1 to rotate.

[0029] The working principle of this application embodiment: like Figure 2As shown, when the entire gearbox assembly is working, the drive module 8 drives the second gear 9 to rotate. The second gear 9 meshes with the first gear 6, and the second gear 9 drives the first gear 6 to rotate. At this time, the first gear 6 drives the gear stop washer 4 through the stop glass ball 5, thereby driving the output shaft 3 to make the grinding assembly 1 work. When the grinding assembly 1 malfunctions and causes the gearbox assembly to stall, if the stalling force is greater than the compression force of the spring 7, the stop glass ball 5 will be disengaged from its original position by the downward force of the gear stop washer 4, and will no longer drive the gear stop washer 4 to move. Thus, the first gear 6 and the second gear 9 will maintain their original movement mode and will not be affected by the stalling force to cause slippage. This will not damage the gears and the motor.

[0030] In summary, this application provides a novel grinder structure that can prevent damage to gears and motors during stalling by using a stop glass ball-spring structure design, so that even if the product malfunctions, it can still be used normally after the stalling fault is cleared.

[0031] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
