Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coffee mill devices, and more specifically to a high-precision externally adjustable coffee mill.
Background Art
[0002] Currently, as a basic function of an electric coffee mill, there is a coffee powder coarseness adjustment function that enables users to adjust the coarseness of coffee powder to brew different types of coffee such as espresso, mocha, hand drip, and French press. Currently, the adjustment structures of commercially available electric coffee mills generally include two forms. The first is to provide one adjustment ring on the coffee mill body for convenient adjustment. According to the screw principle, the adjustment ring directly drives the up and down movement of the driving member to adjust the gap of the grinding disc. Since the adjustment range of the gap of the grinding disc of the coffee mill is narrow, usually within 2 mm, a single adjustment ring is adopted, the rotation angle range of the driving member is limited, and the adjustment accuracy is low. The second is to improve the adjustment accuracy by using a plurality of adjustment rings. However, for such an adjustment device, since it is adjusted by a plurality of adjustment rings, when the user determines the adjustment stage, not only the rotation scale on the adjustment ring but also the number of rotations of the adjustment ring must be taken into account, and there is a problem that it is very easy to get confused during use.
[0003] Also, in the market, as electric coffee mills for adjusting the coarseness of powder, two types, namely a lower-adjustment type coffee mill and an upper-adjustment type coffee mill, are common. In the lower-adjustment type coffee mill, the position of the movable cutter is adjusted by the rotation of an adjustment knob screwed to the mounting shaft, and the adjustment knob is provided at the lower end of the movable cutter, and there is a problem that it is difficult to use in the coarseness adjustment operation.
[0004] In order to overcome the problems existing in the above-mentioned lower-adjustable coffee mill, the upper-adjustable coffee mill developed in the prior art is provided with an upper-adjusting knob. The adjusting knob is screwed to the housing, the adjusting knob abuts against the motor mounting bracket, and by turning the adjusting knob, the up-and-down movement of the motor mounting bracket and the movable cutter connected thereto is driven. It solves the technical drawback that the adjustment operation of the lower-adjustable coffee mill is inconvenient. However, since the adjusting knob needs to drive the up-and-down movement of the motor simultaneously during adjustment, it is necessary to make the motor mounting bracket a movable structure. When the motor moves together with the grinding disc, the movement of the motor causes fatigue and gradual position shift of the adjustment structure, affecting the stability of the fineness of the ground coffee powder.
[0005] To solve at least one of the above problems, the present invention provides a novel coffee mill adjustment structure.

[0024] The motor is fixed in the main body housing. The adjustment knob is provided at the upper end of the main body housing. The rotational motion is converted into the lifting motion of the lifting rod by the linkage assembly. The first polishing disc is moved and adjusted by the lifting rod.

A cover plate for closing the bean input passage is provided on the hopper cover bracket. A bean input through hole is formed in the cover plate. The hopper cover bracket has a first height position and a second height position. When the cover plate is in the first height position, a bean dropping gap communicating with the bean input passage is formed between the bean input through hole of the cover plate and the hopper cover bracket. When the cover plate is in the second height position, the bean input through hole of the cover plate abuts against the hopper cover bracket and the bean input passage is closed.
[0050] In one embodiment, the cover plate includes a guide plate for covering the bean input passage. An arc-shaped guide surface that is recessed from the outside in the radial direction to the bean input through hole is formed on the guide plate.
[0051] In one embodiment, a gasket is provided at the lower end of the bean input through hole of the cover plate, and the material of the gasket is a deformable elastic material.

The slide groove is a straight groove extending in the axial direction or an inclined groove extending in a spiral shape. At one end close to the first height position of the slide groove, a positioning groove extends laterally.
[0055] In one embodiment, the cover plate is slidably connected to the hopper cover bracket. A ball plunger assembly is provided on the mounting bracket or the cover plate, and a positioning groove for fitting with the ball plunger assembly is provided on the corresponding cover plate or hopper cover bracket.
[0056] In one embodiment, the number of the ball plunger assemblies and / or the positioning grooves is two, and they are respectively provided corresponding to the first height position and the second height position.

[0059] In one embodiment, a motor mounting seat with a motor mounting cavity provided at an axial position is provided in the main body housing. The hopper cover bracket is fixedly connected to the motor mounting seat. An arc-shaped cover covering the motor mounting cavity is formed at the axis center of the mounting bracket. The bean feeding passage of the hopper cover bracket is provided to surround the arc-shaped cover. When the cover plate is at the second height position, the bean feeding through hole of the cover plate abuts against the arc-shaped cover and the bean feeding passage is closed.
[0060] In a fifth aspect, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a motor mounting bracket that strongly supports the adjustment structure and drive structure of an upper-adjustable coffee mill, thereby achieving the compactification and miniaturization of the coffee mill structure.
[0061] The motor mounting bracket includes an inner support ring. A positioning block is provided on the inner wall of the inner support ring. An attachment plate for attaching a motor assembly is provided on the positioning block. A space is provided between the attachment plate and the inner support ring. Thereby, the extending piece of the lifting rod of the coffee mill can pass through the space. The extending piece abuts against the positioning block in the rotational direction, and the positioning block can restrict the lifting rod from rotating. Therefore, when the adjustment knob is rotated, the lifting rod rotates relative to the adjustment gear, and realizes lifting under the screw action, thereby controlling the lifting of the movable grinding disk following the lifting rod, adjusting the gap between the movable grinding disk and the fixed grinding disk, and realizing the adjustment of the powder coarseness. There is no need to change the positions of the motor mounting bracket and the motor during this process.
[0062] In one embodiment, there are at least two of the positioning blocks, and both are connected to the attachment plate. The positioning blocks extend in the axial direction of the inner support ring. By extending the positioning blocks in the axial direction of the inner support ring, the contact surface between the positioning blocks and the extending piece of the lifting rod becomes longer, avoiding the eccentricity of the lifting rod due to local contact. Also, the large contact surface can avoid damaging the parts due to excessive pressure received.
[0063] In one embodiment, the mounting plate is circular, a square positioning groove is provided on the upper side of the mounting plate, the center of the positioning groove faces the center of the mounting plate, and the four corners of the positioning groove all form an edge-breaking structure beyond the mounting plate. A central through hole penetrating the mounting plate and four peripheral through holes uniformly distributed around the central through hole are formed at the bottom of the positioning groove. The motor assembly is positioned by combining with the positioning groove. The central through hole structure is for inserting the output shaft of the motor assembly, and the peripheral through holes are for fitting with bolts to fix the motor assembly.
[0064] In one embodiment, the inner surface of the positioning block is a concave arc surface coaxial with the inner support ring. A first inclined guide surface is formed at the top of the positioning block. The first inclined guide surface inclines from top to bottom towards the center of the inner support ring. An avoidance groove is formed in the inner wall near the upper end position of the positioning block. A second inclined guide surface that inclines from top to bottom towards the center of the inner support ring is formed at a position near the upper end of the inner wall of the avoidance groove. A rectangular first through hole is formed at a position below the second inclined guide surface on the inner wall of the avoidance groove. A second through hole is formed at a position below the first through hole on the inner wall of the avoidance groove. The second through hole includes two vertical holes near both side walls of the avoidance groove and a horizontal hole located at the lower ends of the vertical holes to connect the two vertical holes. The inner wall of the inner support ring is cut by the second through hole to form a movable locking block with a deformable lower end. The inner wall of the lower end of the locking block inclines from top to bottom towards the center of the inner support ring. The concave arc surface fits with the motor assembly to position it. Due to the combination of the first inclined guide surface and the second inclined guide surface, the motor assembly can easily enter the inner support ring during installation. By providing the second through hole, a deformable movable locking block structure that fits with it is formed. Thus, when the motor assembly is installed, the protruding block in the motor assembly presses the locking block outwards to deform and push it aside. Then, the locking block returns and fits with the protruding block in the motor assembly to fix the motor assembly. Thereby, the motor assembly will not move randomly after installation, the position of the output shaft of the motor assembly is easy to adjust, and during the process of locking the position of the motor assembly with bolts after the adjustment is completed, the motor assembly does not move.
[0065] In one embodiment, the lower edge position of the first through hole in the positioning block adjacent to the first connection part is lower than the upper edge position of the second through hole. A thin structure is formed at the upper end of the locking block structure, whereby the locking block has stronger deformation ability and it is convenient to mount the motor assembly. The lower edge position of the first through hole in the positioning block adjacent to the second connection part is higher than the upper edge position of the second through hole. Thereby, the locking block is less likely to deform, and the positioning effect after mounting the motor assembly is stronger.
[0066] In one embodiment, it further includes an outer support ring located outside the inner support ring, and a first connection part and a second connection part connecting the inner support ring and the outer support ring. A bean dropping passage is formed in the region where the first connection part and the second connection part are not provided between the inner support ring and the outer support ring. By forming the bean dropping passage between the inner support ring and the outer support ring, coffee beans can enter the grinding operation regions of the inner grinding disk and the outer grinding disk from the bean dropping passage.
[0067] In one embodiment, a hole is opened as a battery mounting groove at the position of the first connection part on the outer support ring, and a hole is opened as a control module mounting groove at the position of the second connection part. A cable wiring groove communicating from the battery mounting groove to the control module mounting groove is formed on the side surface of the outer support ring.

The outer diameter of the lower end of the first guide cone is smaller than the outer diameter of the gear shaft, and a threaded hole is formed at the center of the upper end surface of the first guide cone. The upper end surface of the gear seat is flush with the upper end surface of the outer support ring, and the side surface of the gear seat is connected to the outer support ring. A horizontal battery stopper piece is formed on the first bottom plate, and charging module mounting posts are formed at the connection portions between the first bottom plate and the first side connection plates on both sides. The position of the charging module mounting posts is lower than the position of the battery stopper piece, and threaded holes are formed at the centers of the charging module mounting posts. Charging module stopper pieces are formed at positions near the lower ends of the two first side connection plates, and a charging module positioning post is formed in the middle of the first lower connection plate. A transmission gear is attached by the gear shaft, and the first guide cone assists in aligning and fixing the positions of the main body housing and the motor mounting bracket. The battery stopper piece restricts the battery from moving downward and occupying the space of the charging module. The charging module mounting posts are fitted with bolts to mount and fix the charging module. The charging module stopper pieces and the charging module positioning post can play a role in regulating the position of the charging module.
[0069] In one embodiment, the second connection part includes a second side connection plate that forms the left and right side walls of the control module mounting concave groove, a second upper connection plate that forms the upper wall of the control module mounting concave groove, a second lower connection plate that forms the lower wall of the control module mounting concave groove, and a second bottom plate that forms a part of the bottom surface of the control module mounting concave groove formed by the inner support ring part extending downward.

The second guide cone has a conical structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The outer diameter of the lower end of the second guide cone is smaller than the outer diameter of the connection column. A threaded hole is formed at the center of the upper end surface of the second guide cone. The second guide cone assists in aligning and fixing the main body housing and the motor mounting bracket. An upper control module stopper piece extending horizontally is formed at a position between the first through hole and the second through hole in the control module mounting concave groove.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0071] The present invention will be described in more detail below in association with the drawings and embodiments. Here, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals.
[0072] In order to fully understand the present invention, many details will be described in detail in the following description. However, the present invention can also be realized in another form different from the form described herein. A person skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without departing from the content of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0073] Next, the term "embodiment" in this specification refers to specific features, structures, or characteristics that may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" that appears in various places in the specification does not necessarily mean the same embodiment, but may mean a single or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.
[0074] The coffee grinder shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is an electric coffee grinder, specifically an electric coffee grinder with adjustable stages. The entire case includes a main body housing 1 and a powder receiving box 7 provided below the main body housing 1. Inside the main body housing 1, a grinding assembly including an outer grinding disk 31 and an inner grinding disk 32 is provided. Inside the main body housing 1, a mounting bracket 34, a grinding disk bracket 4, a drive motor 35, and a battery assembly 6 - 48 are provided. The battery assembly 6 - 48 is attached to the mounting bracket 34. The drive motor 35 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 34, or the drive motor 35 is provided so as to be axially slidable with respect to the mounting bracket 34. The outer grinding disk 31 is fixed to the grinding disk bracket 4 as a fixed grinding disk. The output shaft of the drive motor 35 is connected to the inner grinding disk 32 via a connecting shaft 36 to drive the rotational movement of the inner grinding disk 32. The inner grinding disk 32 is fitted with the outer grinding disk 12 as a movable grinding disk to grind the raw material.
[0075] An adjustment knob 2 - 1 is rotatably connected to the main body housing 1. A lifting rod 33 - 2 is provided inside the main body housing 1. One end of the lifting rod 33 - 2 is fitted with the adjustment knob 2 - 1 via an interlocking assembly. The adjustment knob 2 - 1 drives the up and down movement of the lifting rod 33 - 2 via the interlocking assembly. When the lifting rod 33 - 2 moves up and down, the lifting rod 33 - 2 drives the up and down movement of the outer grinding disk 31 or the inner grinding disk 32, changing the gap between the outer grinding disk 31 and the inner grinding disk 32, and further changing the powder coarseness of the coffee grinder.
[0076] The adjustment knob 2-1 is rotatably connected to the main body housing 1, and the main body housing 1 restricts the escape of the adjustment knob 2-1 by a restricting member. The restricting member may restrict the escape of the adjustment knob 2-1 in such a way that a locking ring and a locking groove are fitted together. The locking ring / locking groove is provided on the main body housing 1 or another mounting member fixed to the main body housing 1. The other mounting member includes, but is not limited to, the mounting bracket 34. A locking groove / locking ring is provided on the corresponding adjustment knob 2-1, and the locking ring rotates within the locking groove. The adjustment knob 2-1 is provided with adjustment scale markings distributed circumferentially at 300° to 360°. Specifically, as an implementation, the adjustment scale markings are distributed on the adjustment knob 2-1 at 355°.
[0077] As shown in FIG. 2, in a specific example of the linkage assembly, the linkage assembly is the inner drive ring 21. The adjustment knob 2-1 is fixedly connected to the inner drive ring 21 via a connecting rib. The inner drive ring 21 is screw-connected to the lifting rod 33-2. The inner drive ring 21 is a drive nut. The lifting rod 33-2 is provided within the main body housing 1 with rotation restricted and is slidably provided axially. When the adjustment knob 2-1 and the inner drive ring 21 are rotated, the up and down movement of the lifting rod 33-2 is driven, and further the up and down movement of the inner polishing disc 32 or the outer polishing disc 31 is driven to adjust the gap. The lifting rod 33-2 may be the drive sleeve rod 33-1 provided coaxially with the drive motor 35, or may be provided eccentrically.
[0078] As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, in another specific example of the interlocking assembly, the interlocking assembly includes an inner drive ring 21 and a transmission gear 22. The transmission gear 22 is a reduction gear. The transmission gear 22 and the inner drive ring 21 are rotatably provided on a mounting bracket 34. The adjustment knob 2-1 is an outer adjustment ring 2-2. The outer adjustment ring 2-2 may be rotatably connected to the main body housing 1 or the mounting bracket 34, preferably rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 34. An internal gear ring is provided on the outer adjustment ring 2-2, and an external gear ring is provided on the inner drive ring 21. The reduction gear is rotatably provided between the adjustment knob 2-1 and the inner drive ring 21 so that they mesh with each other. A gear seat 6-28 is provided on the mounting bracket 34. The inner drive ring 21 is provided in contact with the gear seat 6-28. The inner drive ring 21 is axially position-limited and provided within the main body housing 1. The inner drive ring 21 drives the lifting of the polishing assembly by screwing with the lifting rod 33-2 to adjust the gap. The lifting rod 33-2 is a drive sleeve rod 33-1. The drive sleeve rod 33-1 is provided coaxially with the inner drive ring 21. The drive sleeve rod 33-1 is provided within the main body housing 1 with rotation restricted and is slidable axially. The inner drive ring 21 is a drive nut. When turning the adjustment knob 2-1 and the inner drive ring 21, the up and down movement of the drive sleeve rod 33-1 is driven.
[0079] By providing the transmission gear 22, the pitch between the inner drive ring 21 and the lifting rod 33-2 becomes smaller, the adjustment becomes smoother, the adjustment rotation speed of the inner drive ring 21 increases, and the adjustment accuracy is significantly improved. In the prior art, when directly adjusting the lifting member by the adjusting member, since the rotation angle and rotation speed of the adjusting member are limited, the problem of low adjustment accuracy is solved. Also, the user can accurately and clearly read the current roughness level from the adjustment scale 23 during use, solving the problem that the adjustment accuracy and the clarity of the adjustment level display cannot be achieved simultaneously in the two techniques of adjustment by a single adjustment ring and adjustment by multiple adjustment rings in the prior art.
[0080] Set the diameter ratio of the outer adjustment ring 2-2 and the inner drive ring 21, and make the reduction ratio of the outer adjustment ring 2-2 and the inner drive ring 21 1:1.4 or less, so that the rotation speed of the inner drive ring 21 can be effectively increased, and the adjustment accuracy can be further improved.
[0081] Preferably, by setting the reduction ratio of the outer adjustment ring 2-2 and the inner drive ring 21 to be 1:3 or more and 1:1.6 or less, the set ratio of the outer adjustment ring 2-2 and the inner drive ring 21 becomes suitable for a miniaturized portable coffee mill, and the minimum adjustment unit of the adjustment scale 23 is within a range that can be controlled by delicate hand operations and movements.
[0082] The outer adjustment ring 2-2, the inner drive ring 21, the transmission gear 22, and the drive sleeve rod 33-1 constitute a roughness adjustment structure. When the roughness adjustment structure is provided at the lower end of the main body housing 1, the output end of the drive sleeve rod 33-1 drives the movement of the outer polishing disk 31 to adjust the gap. When the roughness adjustment structure is provided at the upper end of the main body housing 1, the output end of the drive sleeve rod 33-1 drives the movement of the inner polishing disk 32 to adjust the gap.
[0083] In a specific embodiment where the lifting rod 33-2 drives the movement of the inner polishing disk 32, the lifting rod 33-2 may be the drive sleeve rod 33-1, which drives the movement in the axial direction of the drive motor 35 and further drives the rotation of the inner polishing disk 32. Specifically, the drive sleeve rod 33-1 is slidably provided with respect to the mounting bracket 34. A drive motor mounting cavity is provided in the drive sleeve rod 33-1. The drive motor 10 is fixed in the drive motor mounting cavity of the drive sleeve rod 33-1. The connecting shaft 36 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 10, and the inner polishing disk 32 is connected to the other end of the connecting shaft 36.
[0084] Its working principle is as follows. Rotate the adjusting knob 2-1 to drive the rotation of the inner drive ring 21 through the transmission gear 22 or connection, and further drive the up-and-down movement of the drive sleeve rod 33-1 by screw fitting. The drive sleeve rod 33-1 drives the up-and-down movement of the motor, the connection shaft 36 and the inner grinding disc 32 fixed to the connection shaft 36. The overall structure is simple and the fitting accuracy of each internal member is high.
[0085] As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, in another specific embodiment where the lifting rod 33-2 drives the movement of the inner grinding disc 32, the lifting rod 33-2 is the drive sleeve rod 33-1. The drive sleeve rod 33-1 may directly drive the movement of the connection shaft 36 of the inner grinding disc 32. Specifically, the drive motor 35 is fixed to the mounting bracket 34. The output end of the drive motor 35 is connected to the connection shaft 36. The connection shaft 36 is provided to be axially slidable with respect to the output end of the drive motor 35. The connection shaft 36 may be inserted into the output shaft joint of the drive motor 35 as a polygonal prism to limit its rotation. The drive motor 35 drives the rotation of the connection shaft 36. The inner drive ring 21 is screw-connected to the drive sleeve rod 33-1. The drive sleeve rod 33-1 is provided to be slidable with respect to the mounting bracket 34. A through hole axially opened is provided in the drive sleeve rod 33-1. The drive sleeve rod 33-1 is coaxially sleeved outside the drive motor 35. An avoidance groove through which the mounting bracket 34 passes is opened in the drive sleeve rod 33-1. The rotation of the drive sleeve rod 33-1 may be limited by the avoidance groove, or a slider and a slide groove may be separately provided between the drive sleeve rod 33-1 and the main body housing 1 to limit the rotation of the drive sleeve rod 33-1. The mounting bracket 34 is provided with a mounting plate 6-6 for mounting the drive motor 35 in the motor mounting cavity. A through groove through which the drive sleeve rod 33-1 slides is provided in the mounting plate 6-6, and further the rotation of the drive sleeve rod 33-1 is limited.
[0086] Its working principle is as follows. Rotate the outer adjustment ring 2-2 to drive the rotation of the inner drive ring 21 by the transmission gear 22, and further interlock the up and down movement of the drive sleeve rod 33-1 by screw fitting. The drive sleeve rod 33-1 drives the up and down movement of the connecting shaft 36 and the inner grinding disc 32 fixed to the connecting shaft 36. By directly driving the up and down movement of the inner grinding disc 32, the disadvantages of the adjustment structure, such as the fatigue of the adjustment structure caused by driving the movement of the motor together and the influence on the stability of the powder roughness due to the gradual shift of the position, are solved.
[0087] As shown in Fig. 5, one end of the drive sleeve rod 33-1 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 36 in the axial direction. The specific method of axial fixed connection is that the connecting shaft 36 abuts against the drive sleeve rod 33-1 in the axial direction. The drive sleeve rod 33-1 includes a connecting seat 37 and is connected to the connecting shaft 36 through the connecting seat 37. A first bearing 38 is provided on the connecting seat 37. The connecting shaft 36 is sleeved rotatably in the first bearing 38. The connecting shaft 36 is connected to the first bearing 38 so as to be movable up and down. A concave groove 361 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting shaft 36. A circlip 362 for abutting against the upper end surface of the first bearing 38 of the drive sleeve rod 36 is fitted in the concave groove 361. A biasing spring 39 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 36. One end of the biasing spring 39 abuts against the inner grinding disc 32, and the other end abuts against the grinding disc bracket 4. Preferably, a gasket is provided at the lower end of the grinding disc bracket 4. The biasing spring 39 abuts against the gasket. The biasing spring 39 provides a downward biasing force to the connecting shaft 36. Under the limitation of the upper circlip 362, the connecting shaft 36 is restricted to move axially on the connecting seat 37 of the drive sleeve rod 33-1. Therefore, under the two-way regulation of the lower biasing spring 39 and the upper circlip 361, the connecting shaft 36 is restricted to move axially with respect to the drive sleeve rod 33-1.
[0088] The biasing spring 39 is initially in a compressed state. When the drive sleeve rod 33-1 rises, the circlip 362 abuts against the upper end face of the drive sleeve rod 33-1, restricting the connecting shaft 36 from moving downward relative to the drive sleeve rod 33-1. The inner polishing disc 32 simultaneously rises together with the connecting shaft 36, increasing the compression amount of the biasing spring 39, reducing the gap between the inner polishing disc 32 and the outer polishing disc 31, and balancing the biasing force of the biasing spring 39 and the force with which the circlip 362 abuts against the first bearing 38.
[0089] When the drive sleeve rod 33-1 moves downward, the compression amount of the biasing spring 39 is released, moving the inner polishing disc 32 in a direction opposite to the drive sleeve rod 33-1. The circlip 362 follows the drive sleeve rod 33-1 under the tension of the biasing spring 39 to drive the downward movement of the connecting shaft 36 and maintain the contact of the circlip 362 with the first bearing 38, and maintain the balance between the biasing force of the biasing spring 39 and the force with which the circlip 362 abuts against the drive sleeve rod 33-1.
[0090] As shown in Figure 2, the mounting form of the axial fixed connection between the connecting shaft 36 and the drive sleeve rod 33-1 may be fixed to the connection seat 37 of the drive sleeve rod 33-1 by the first bearing 38. The connecting shaft 36 is rotatably connected to the first bearing 38. A biasing spring 39 is mounted between the inner polishing disc 32 and the connecting shaft 36. A flange is provided at the lower part of the connecting shaft 36. The upper end face of the flange and the upper end face of the inner polishing disc 32 abut against the biasing spring 39. The inner polishing disc 32 and the connecting shaft 36 have a small movement range in the axial direction. By providing the biasing spring 39 between the connecting shaft 36 and the inner polishing disc 32, a strong direct biasing force can be provided. Since the connecting shaft 36 and the inner polishing disc 32 do not rotate relative to each other, wear due to the rotation of the biasing spring 39 is avoided.
[0091] In the specific mounting form of the adjustment knob 2-1, in an embodiment where the bean input opening 56 is provided above the main body housing 1 and the adjustment knob 2-1 is provided at the upper end of the main body housing 1, the bean input opening 56 may be provided at the upper end of the adjustment knob 2-1, or a hopper cover plate 52 may be provided on the main body housing 1 and the bean input opening 56 may be provided on the hopper cover plate 52. The adjustment knob 2-1 may be detachably connected, and the beans may be input after removing the adjustment knob 2-1, or an opening may be provided on the side surface of the main body housing 1.
[0092] As shown in FIG. 2, in one embodiment, the funnel portion and the rotating portion of the adjustment knob 2-1 are integrally formed and fixed. A bean input opening 56 is opened at the center of the adjustment knob 2-1, and a funnel portion is formed on the upper top surface of the adjustment knob 2-1 that bends and inclines downward toward the center, and the fall of the beans is more effectively guided.
[0093] As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the funnel portion and the rotating portion of the adjustment knob 2-1 may be separately provided. The adjustment knob 2-1 is an outer adjustment ring 2-2, and a rolling groove 24 is provided in the outer adjustment ring 2-2. The mounting bracket 34 is provided with a first ball plunger assembly 25 that is rollably fitted with the rolling groove 24, realizing a more stable and smooth rotation of the outer adjustment ring 2-2. The mounting bracket 34 is further provided with a second ball plunger assembly 26 that fits with the internal gear ring or stepped groove 27 of the outer adjustment ring 2-2. The stepped groove 27 is composed of a plurality of arc-shaped grooves 28 arranged in the circumferential direction. The second ball plunger assembly 26 bounces between the internal teeth or arc-shaped grooves 28 when the outer adjustment ring 2-2 rotates, providing sliding resistance to the outer adjustment ring 2-2 and playing a role in locking and positioning the outer adjustment ring 2-2. The specific structure of the arc-shaped groove 28 of the outer adjustment ring 2-2 is as shown in FIG. 7.
[0094] The ball plunger assembly in the present invention may be a general ball plunger of the prior art. Preferably, the ball plunger assembly includes a sleeve, a spring member, and a steel ball. The steel ball is provided with its position restricted within the sleeve, and the spring member is provided in contact between the bottom surface of the sleeve and the steel ball, applying an elastic support force to the steel ball on the side opposite to the bottom surface of the sleeve, and the steel ball bounces under the action of an external force.
[0095] In the funnel portion or the adjustment knob 2-1, a first baffle ring extends downward at the position of the bean input opening 56, which can prevent the beans from jumping out to a certain extent. The inner wall of the main body housing 1 and the outer walls of the drive motor 35 and the battery assembly 6-48 form a bean input passage through which the beans pass. The bean input opening 56 communicates with the bean input passage to form a relatively large bean storage space.
[0096] As shown in FIGS. 8 to 14, in the embodiment where an opening is provided in the hopper cover, a hopper cover bracket 51 is provided above the main body housing 1. The hopper cover bracket 51 may be integrally formed with the mounting bracket 34, or may be removably fixedly connected via a fastener. The hopper cover bracket 51 is provided with a through bean input passage. The cover plate 52 is provided on the hopper cover bracket 51 so as to be vertically adjustable. A bean input through hole 521 is formed in the cover plate 52. When the cover plate 52 rises from the hopper cover bracket 51 to the first height position, a bean dropping gap 53 communicating with the bean input passage is formed between the bean input through hole 521 of the cover plate 52 and the hopper cover bracket 51. When the cover plate 52 approaches the hopper cover bracket 51 and descends to the second height position, the bean input through hole 521 of the cover plate 52 abuts against the hopper cover bracket 51 to close the bean input passage. The connection method between the cover plate 52 and the hopper cover bracket 51 may be a slidable connection or a screw connection, and the height position of the cover plate 52 may be adjusted linearly or spirally.
[0097] Taking a slidable connection as an example, a slide groove 58 is provided in the hopper cover bracket 51, and a slider that fits into the slide groove 58 is provided on the cover plate 52. Preferably, the number of slide grooves 58 is at least two, and they are provided symmetrically on the hopper cover bracket 51.
[0098] As shown in FIG. 11, in one embodiment of the slide groove 58, the slide groove 58 extends linearly in the axial direction of the hopper cover bracket 51, and positioning at the first height position and the second height position is achieved by an elastic locking device. The elastic locking device may be a ball plunger assembly, and is preferably provided on the hopper cover bracket 51.
[0099] As shown in FIG. 12, in another embodiment of the slide groove 58, the slide groove 58 extends linearly in the axial direction of the hopper cover bracket 51, and a second positioning groove 59 extends laterally at one end of the slide groove 58 close to the first height. When the cover plate 52 is linearly pulled upward to reach the first height position, the slider on the cover plate 52 is further rotated circumferentially to be positioned in the second positioning groove 59.
[0100] As shown in FIG. 13, in another embodiment of the slide groove 58, the slide groove 58 may be an inclined groove that spirally extends on the outer peripheral surface of the hopper cover bracket 51. Preferably, a second positioning groove 59 may extend laterally at one end of the slide groove 58 close to the first height. When the cover plate 52 reaches the first height position along the inclined groove by rotation, the slider on the cover plate 52 is further rotated to be positioned in the second positioning groove 19.
[0101] The cover plate 52 opens and closes the bean input passage in a lifting manner, and the user can conveniently operate regardless of whether pushing / pulling or a spiral is adopted. The cover plate 52 and the hopper cover bracket 51 are not detachable, and loss of the cover plate 52 during use is prevented.
[0102] As shown in FIG. 9, the upper end surface of the cover plate 52 is a guide plate 522. The guide plate 522 forms an arc-shaped guide surface that is recessed radially outward from the outside into the bean input through hole 521. When the cover plate 52 descends to the second height, the guide plate 522 completely covers the bean input passage 2 in the hopper cover bracket 51. Thereby, the cover plate 52 exerts the function of the hopper cover and also exerts the function of the bean dropping guide plate 522. Multiple functions are integrated, and the structure of the coffee mill is simplified.
[0103] As shown in FIG. 10, a third ball plunger assembly 54 is provided on the hopper cover bracket 51, and a first positioning groove 55 for fitting with the third ball plunger assembly 54 is provided on the cover plate 52, or the cover plate 52 is provided with a ball plunger assembly 54, and the hopper cover bracket 51 is provided with a first positioning groove 55 for fitting with the third ball plunger assembly 54. The third ball plunger assembly 54 includes an elastic member and a ball. When the ball of the third ball plunger assembly 54 is locked in the first positioning groove 55, the two states of the first height position and the second height position of the cover plate 52 are locked, and it also plays a role in indicating the completion of the state switching of the cover plate 52. The number of the third ball plunger assemblies 51 or / and the first positioning grooves 55 is two, and they are respectively provided corresponding to the first height position and the second height position. Preferably, the number of the third ball plunger assemblies 54 and the first positioning grooves 55 is both two, whereby the locking state of the cover plate 52 becomes more stable.
[0104] As shown in FIG. 10, the cover plate 52 includes a guide plate 522 and a connection sleeve 526 on the upper end surface. A gasket 523 is provided at the lower end of the bean input through hole 521 on the guide plate 522. The material of the gasket 523 is a deformable elastic material, such as a high-elastic polymer material like rubber, silicon, or foaming material. The gasket 523 serves as a contact portion that directly contacts the hopper cover bracket 51. By adopting a deformable elastic material, it can achieve the protective effect of preventing collisions, avoid deformation caused by excessive adjustment of the cover plate 52. On the other hand, the gasket 523 reduces the gap after the cover plate 52 and the hopper cover bracket 51 are in closed contact, plays a sealing role, and further prevents the intrusion of foreign objects or dust.
[0105] On the guide plate 522, a connection portion 524 is bent inward and extends at the position of the bean input through hole 521. A connection groove 525 for fitting with the connection portion 524 is provided on the gasket 523. The gasket 523 is connected to the connection portion 524 through the connection groove 525. The connection relationship between the gasket 523 and the connection portion 524 may be adhesion or engagement or interference fit. Since the inner annular surface and the lower end surface of the gasket 523 are force-receiving contact surfaces, by making the connection portion 524 have a bent-inward part, the force received by the connection groove 525 of the gasket 523 and the connection portion 524 can be decomposed, and deformation and detachment due to the force received at the connection part between the gasket 523 and the guide plate 522 can be reduced.
[0106] The hopper cover bracket 51 is surrounded by an outer annular portion and an inner annular portion to form a cylindrical structure. A bean input passage is formed between the inner annular portion and the outer annular portion. The connection sleeve 526 is slidably connected or screwed to the outer annular portion. An arc-shaped cover 57 is provided on the inner annular portion. A coffee bean dropping guide portion is formed by the arc-shaped cover 57 and the guide plate 522. Preferably, the guide plate 522 and the arc-shaped cover 57 are made of a metal plate, so that the outer surface of the coffee mill can be easily cleaned.
[0107] The mounting bracket 34 includes a motor mounting bracket 6 provided with a motor mounting cavity in the axial position. The hopper cover bracket 51 is fixedly connected to the motor mounting bracket 6. The cover plate 52 further includes a connecting sleeve 526 sleeved on the outer annular portion. The connecting sleeve 526 is connected to the outer annular portion in a vertically movable manner. An arc-shaped cover 57 covering the coffee mill motor mounting cavity is formed on the inner annular portion. The bean inlet through-hole 521 of the cover plate 52 abuts against the arc-shaped cover 57, and the bean inlet passage 2 is closed.
[0108] As shown in FIG. 14, in an embodiment where the adjusting knob 2-1 is provided at the upper end of the main body housing 1 and sleeved with the hopper cover bracket 51, a window 511 is opened in the hopper cover bracket 51, and an interlocking structure in which the adjusting knob 2-1 and the inner drive ring 21 are fitted to each other is accommodated in the window 511. Preferably, a gear seat 6-28 is provided on the hopper cover bracket 51, the transmission gear 22 is rotatably provided on the gear seat 6-28, the hopper cover bracket 51 is provided with a window 511 at a position close to the gear seat 6-28, and the transmission gear 22 partially extends out from the window 511 and meshes with the internal gear ring 201 of the outer adjusting ring 2-2.
[0109] As shown in FIGS. 15 to 18, a specific embodiment of the integrally formed polishing disc bracket 4 is that the polishing disc bracket 4 includes an outer polishing disc mounting hole 41 and a connecting shaft mounting hole 42. The connecting shaft mounting hole 42 includes at least one bearing mounting position 421, preferably two. Two second bearings 43 coaxially provided in the connecting shaft mounting hole 42 are provided, and the connecting shaft 36 is provided to pass through the second bearings 43. The material may be selected from metal or alloy materials. The alloy material includes aluminum alloy. The manufacturing process of the polishing disc bracket 4 can select casting and integral forming or punching and milling of massive materials, and the concentricity of the outer polishing disc mounting hole 41 and the connecting shaft mounting hole 42 is greatly improved.
[0110] The hole wall of the bearing mounting position 44 and the hole wall of the connecting shaft mounting hole 42 are provided in a continuous straight line, and the second bearing 43 and the bearing mounting position 44 are press-fitted. When there are two bearing mounting positions 44, the bearing mounting position 421 includes the first bearing mounting position 422 and the second bearing mounting position 423, and a positioning ring 47 is provided between the two bearings 43. The positioning ring 47 abuts against the second bearings 43 provided on both sides respectively, restricting the downward movement of the upper second bearing 43 and the upward movement of the lower second bearing 43. Preferably, limiting members for restricting the escape of the two second bearings 43 are provided at the upper end and the lower end of the connecting shaft mounting hole 42 respectively. The limiting members may be selected from known limiting members in the prior art, such as position regulating spacers or position regulating pins.
[0111] When the polishing disc bracket 4 selects block material punching and milling forming, first, the alloy raw material is clamped by a jig, and the outer polishing disc mounting hole 41 is drilled on one side of the alloy block by a punching and milling device, and the connecting shaft mounting hole 42 is further drilled deeper on the same side by the punching and milling device. The hole diameter of the connecting shaft mounting hole 42 is smaller than that of the outer polishing disc mounting hole 41. By making the side wall of the connecting shaft mounting hole 43 linear, the conventional stepped bearing mounting hole is omitted, and the connecting shaft mounting hole 42 and the outer polishing disc mounting hole 41 can be positioned and mounted by a punching and milling device on one side for punching and milling forming, avoiding the concentricity error in the mounting process of multiple punching and milling devices in the prior art.
[0112] After punching and milling the outer grinding disk mounting hole 41 and the connecting shaft mounting hole 42, grinding and hole drilling are performed on the outer periphery of the semi-finished product. As a result, the main body bracket externally includes a lower mounting cylinder 47 and an upper mounting cylinder 45. The outer grinding disk mounting hole 41 is provided in the lower mounting cylinder 47, and the connecting shaft mounting hole 42 is provided in the upper mounting cylinder 45. The upper mounting cylinder 45 and the lower mounting cylinder 47 are connected via a connecting rib 46. A bean input passage communicating with the lower mounting cylinder 47 is formed between the plurality of connecting ribs 46. A first convex ring 471 extends on the upper end surface of the lower mounting cylinder 47. A guide curved surface 472 is formed on the upper end surface of the first convex ring 471 and is smoothly inclined downward by the bean input passage, so as to more smoothly and uniformly guide the beans in the bean storage cavity into the grinding cavity.
