[0021] The inner blade 14 and outer blade 15 for grinding the coffee beans are both conventional and will not be described in detail here.

[0022] When ice water is poured into the water tank 2, iced coffee can be made using this invention.

[0023] In this embodiment, according to specific needs, the water tank 2 can be provided with an electric heating element 4 for heating the water tank 2, thereby making hot coffee.

[0024] The machine body 20 or the grinding chamber 21 is provided with a first water flow path 18 separated from the coffee bean storage section 22, and the discharge port of the water pump 23 communicates with the internal space of the filter 16 via the first water flow path 18.

[0025] The water pump 23 is located below the water tank 2 .

[0026] The water pump 23 is disposed near the mill motor 10 , and a lithium battery 11 is disposed in the device body 20 and located near the mill motor 10 .

[0027] A water discharge pipe 5 is provided within the device main body 20, and a water discharge hole 5.1 is provided at the bottom of the device main body 20, penetrating vertically. The discharge port of the water pump 23 is connected to one end of the water discharge pipe 5, and the other end of the water discharge pipe 5 is connected to the water discharge hole 5.1, which is connected to the first water flow path 18.

[0028] A grind size adjustment dial 9.1 and a corresponding adjustment cap 9.2 are provided below the outer cutter 15 to adjust the grain size of the coffee powder. The other end of the rotating shaft 12 passes through the inner cutter 14 and the grind size adjustment dial 9.1, and then screws into the adjustment cap 9.2. The powder discharge gap is located outside the grind size adjustment dial 9.1 and adjustment cap 9.2.

[0029] By adjusting the position of the adjusting cap 9.2 on the rotating shaft 12 and by interacting with the spring 13 fitted to the rotating shaft 12, the powder discharge gap can be adjusted, thereby obtaining coffee powder of different particle sizes.

[0030] The first water flow path 18 is provided in the vertical direction.

[0031] 4 and 5, three first water flow paths 18 are provided, spaced apart circumferentially. Three positioning protrusions 29 are provided on the upper part of the outer wall of the grinding chamber 21, and three corresponding positioning grooves 20.3 are provided on the inner wall of the device body 20. When a user fits the three positioning protrusions 29 into the three positioning grooves 20.3 to connect the grinding chamber 21 and the device body 20, the water discharge pipe 5 communicates with one of the three first water flow paths 18, thereby improving the ease of operation for a user to accurately align the water discharge pipe 5 with the first water flow path 18 and communicate with it.

[0032] 6 and 7, a second water flow path 24 is provided in an annular arrangement at the bottom of the grinding chamber 21, the first water flow path 18 is provided in a vertical direction, and a plurality of first water inlets 18.1 are provided at the bottom end surface of the grinding chamber 21, spaced apart in the circumferential direction and penetrating vertically, the first water inlets 18.1 communicating with the internal space of the filter 16, one side of the second water flow path 24 communicating with the first water flow path 18, and the other side of the second water flow path 24 communicating with the first water inlet 18.1.

[0033] During operation, heated water is pumped into the filter from multiple first inlets 18.1 in a circumferential direction. This avoids the channeling effect that occurs when water is pumped from a single stationary point. Channeling is a phenomenon in which coffee grounds within a channel are repeatedly extracted, resulting in over-extraction and negative flavors such as excessive bitterness, smoky odors, and woody notes. Therefore, by using circumferential water injection, the present invention can uniformly extract the coffee grounds within the filter, resulting in a richer, smoother overall flavor in the final coffee extract.

[0034] Referring to FIG. 4, one end of the device body 20 connected to the grinding chamber 21 is provided with a first mounting recess 20.2 with its opening facing downward, and the end of the grinding chamber 21 is fitted into the first mounting recess 20.2, and the minimum inner diameter of the part where the first mounting recess 20.2 is formed is larger than the maximum outer diameter of the grinding chamber 21; alternatively, one end of the grinding chamber 21 connected to the device body 20 is provided with a mounting protrusion, and the mounting protrusion is provided with a second mounting recess with its opening facing upward, and the minimum outer diameter of the mounting protrusion is larger than the maximum outer diameter of the part of the grinding chamber 21 excluding the mounting protrusion.

[0035] The bottom of the device body 20 is connected to the upper end of the coffee cup 17, and the grinding chamber 21 and the filter 16 are accommodated in the internal space of the coffee cup 17, or after the filter 16 is removed, the bottom of the device body 20 is connected to the upper end of the coffee cup 17, and the grinding chamber 21 is accommodated in the internal space of the coffee cup 17.

[0036] (Second embodiment) When a second water passage 24 arranged annularly is provided at the bottom of the grinding chamber 21, the inner cutter 14 and the outer cutter 15 are disposed inside the second water passage 24. In order to ensure the strength of the grinding chamber 21, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the wall located between the outside of the outer cutter 15 and the second water passage 24, which results in an increase in the overall volume of the grinding chamber 21. Since the present invention has a portable structure, the following structure can be adopted to avoid inconvenience caused by excessive volume.

[0037] Referring to Figures 8 to 12, in this embodiment, a grind adjustment dial 9.1 for adjusting the particle size of the coffee powder and a flow path switching cover 25 associated therewith are provided below the outer cutter 15, and the other end of the rotating shaft 12 passes through the inner cutter 14 and the grind adjustment dial 9.1, and then screws into the flow path switching cover 25.

[0038] By adjusting the position of the flow path switching cover 25 on the rotating shaft 12, the gap for powder discharge can be adjusted through interaction with the spring 13 fitted to the rotating shaft 12, thereby making it possible to obtain coffee powder of different particle sizes.

[0039] The flow path switching cover 25 has a third water flow path 34 arranged in a ring shape and open at the top, and two or more second water inlets 25.1 arranged at intervals and penetrating vertically are provided at the bottom of the flow path switching cover 25, the second water inlets 25.1 communicating with the internal space of the filter 16, one side of the third water flow path 34 communicating with the first water flow path 18 and the other side of the third water flow path 34 communicating with the second water inlet 25.1, and furthermore the flow path switching cover 25 has a powder chute 25.2 located below the powder discharge gap and penetrating vertically, the powder chute 25.2 being located near the third water flow path 34 and communicating with the internal space of the filter 16.

[0040] During operation, the flow path switching cover 25 is driven by the rotary shaft 12 to rotate gently in the circumferential direction, and the water flowing out of the second water inlet 25.1 also moves in the circumferential direction. This allows for circumferential water injection, and since two or more second water inlet ports 25.1 are spaced apart, it is possible to inject water uniformly in the circumferential direction.

[0041] (Third embodiment) 13 to 16, in order to prevent coffee beans from entering the first water flow path 18 and to reduce the burden on the user, an inner lid 28 for covering the water tank is provided on the device main body 20, an outer lid 1 covers the inner lid 28, and a bean receiving ring 26 is provided in the grinding chamber 21 to expose the coffee bean storage section 22 while shielding the first water flow path 18, and when the bean receiving ring 26 is not in use, it is stored between the outer lid 1 and the inner lid 28 or on the inner lid 28.

As a result, the situation shown in Figure 16 may occur.

[0048] For other parts not described, please refer to the third embodiment, and the explanation will be omitted here.
