Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coffee bean grinding equipment, and in particular to a bean grinder container, a bean grinder and a coffee maker. [Background technology]

[0002] A coffee bean grinder can quickly process coffee beans into coffee powder, allowing you to make coffee that suits your taste. There are several types of coffee bean grinders currently on the market, all of which can process coffee beans into coffee powder.

[0003] However, conventional bean grinders have the problem that coffee powder remains inside the bean grinder, making it difficult to clean the coffee powder thoroughly. Because some coffee powder always remains inside the bean grinder and may remain there for a long time, some old coffee powder is mixed in every time the coffee is ground, resulting in an impure taste. Therefore, the problem of cleaning bean grinders has been a technical problem that those skilled in the art have sought to solve. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a bean grinder container that solves the technical problem of bean grinders being difficult to clean. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is to provide a bean grinder container including a cup body and a grinding disk, the grinding disk having a hollow structure and grinding ribs installed on the inner wall of the grinding disk, in which a connection module is installed below the cup body, the connection module is fixed below the cup body, and the grinding disk is fixedly connected to the connection module.

[0006] The bean grinder container of the present invention has a connection module installed below the cup body, which fixes the grinding plate below the cup body, and when the bean grinder container is removed from the bean grinder body, the grinding plate can be removed accordingly.When cleaning the bean grinder container, the grinding plate can be removed accordingly, making it easy to clean, and easy to remove and assemble.

[0007] Preferably, the polishing disc is removably connected to the connection module. The polishing disc may be fixed within the connection module or may be removably connected to the connection module. When the two are removably connected, the polishing disc can be removed from the cup body for more detailed cleaning.

[0008] More preferably, the polishing disc is removed from the cup body from below. When the polishing disc is removed from the cup body from below, there is no need to remove extra parts when removing the polishing disc, which makes cleaning and assembly easier.

[0009] More preferably, a removal handle is provided below the grinding disc, which allows the grinding disc to be easily removed from the cup body and prevents hands from being injured by sharp edges of the grinding disc.

[0010] Preferably, the connection module includes an adjustment mechanism for controlling the vertical movement of the grinding disc relative to the cup body. The adjustment mechanism controls the vertical movement of the grinding disc and can also adjust the thickness of the coffee powder. The adjustment mechanism is integrated into the cup body, so that when the bean grinder container is removed from the bean grinder body, there are fewer parts, the bean grinder container is more reliable, and it is easier to clean.

[0011] Preferably, a seal is provided at the bottom of the cup body, which can prevent the coffee powder from scattering from the side wall of the bean grinder container, causing waste and contamination of the coffee powder.

[0012] Preferably, the maximum outer diameter of the lower part of the cup body is 40mm to 200mm. If the maximum outer diameter of the lower part of the cup body exceeds 200mm, the diameter of the bean grinder container is too large, and coffee powder is likely to scatter between the grinding disc and the cup body, making cleaning difficult. If the maximum outer diameter of the lower part of the cup body is less than 40mm, the connecting module is too small, and the attachment to the grinding disc is likely to be unstable, resulting in insufficient grinding accuracy.

[0013] Preferably, a cup cavity is provided in the upper part of the cup body, and a relatively sealed grinding passage is provided in the lower part of the cup cavity, and the grinding passage communicates with the grinding disc. The grinding passage below the cup cavity is relatively sealed, so that coffee powder or particles ground by the grinding disc can be prevented from remaining in the grinding passage or related parts.

[0014] More preferably, a bottom door is installed in the grinding passage, a control mechanism is installed in the cup body, and a switch is installed on the side wall of the cup body, and the control mechanism controls the opening and closing of the bottom door. The bottom door may be manually or automatically controlled by the switch. The bottom door can prevent coffee beans from leaking from the bean grinder container before it is placed in the bean grinder body. The switch controls the closing and opening of the bottom door, and the control mechanism opens the bottom door before or at the same time as the bean grinder container is placed in the bean grinder body.

[0015] Another object of the present invention is to provide a bean grinder that solves the technical problem of bean grinders being difficult to clean.

[0016] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is to provide a bean grinder, which includes a bean grinder body and any of the bean grinder containers described above, and the lower part of the bean grinder container abuts against the bean grinder body and is detachably connected to the bean grinder body.

[0017] In the bean grinder of the present invention, the bean grinder container can be directly removed from above the bean grinder body together with the grinding disc, and the bean grinder container and the grinding disc can be washed together, reducing the number of parts to be removed and making it easy to clean the bean grinder container and the grinding disc.

[0018] Another object of the present invention is to provide a coffee maker that solves the technical problem of bean grinders being difficult to clean.

[0019] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is to provide a coffee maker including any of the bean grinders described above.

[0020] In the coffee maker of the present invention, when cleaning the bean grinder, the bean grinder container can be directly removed from the bean grinder body together with the grinding disc, making cleaning even easier. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
