Description

An ice drip coffee machine Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of coffee machines, and in particular to an ice drip coffee machine. Background Art

[0002] The ice drip coffee machines on the market have the problem of long production time and complicated steps when making ice coffee; it is necessary to drip ice cubes for 2 hours and then put them in the refrigerator for more than 12 hours. For example, the Chinese patent application with authorization announcement number CN201759360U discloses an ice drip coffee machine, which can extract multiple cups of coffee at the same time by setting up multiple drip units. However, for each cup of coffee, the production steps have not been reduced, and the production steps and time are still complicated and lengthy. If a solution of setting up a heating mechanism to heat the ice cubes is adopted, it will cause energy waste to a certain extent. In addition, when ice cubes need to be added to the ice drip coffee machine, the user's hand is close to the container where the ice cubes are placed and comes into contact with the gas with a higher temperature, which will result in a poor user experience.

[0051] Specific embodiments of the present application will be described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, it should be understood that the embodiments described are merely examples of the present application and may be implemented in a variety of ways. Familiar and / or repetitive functions and structures are not described in detail to avoid obscuring the present application with unnecessary or redundant details. Therefore, the specific structural and functional details described herein are not intended to be limiting, but rather serve merely as a basis and representative basis for the claims to teach those skilled in the art to variously utilize the present application with substantially any suitable detailed structure.

[0052] This specification may use the phrases "in one embodiment," "in another embodiment," "in yet another embodiment," or "in other embodiments," which may all refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to the present application.

[0053] To solve the problems in the background technology, the present application discloses an ice drip coffee machine. Ice drip coffee, also known as water drip coffee, is a method of extracting coffee drinks using ice water, cold water or ice cubes.

[0054] With reference to Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4, the cold drip coffee machine includes a body 1, within which are disposed a brewing chamber 2 and a cooling chamber 3. The brewing chamber 2 is located at the top of the body 1, while the cooling chamber 3 is located at the bottom of the body 1. A brewing box 4 can be placed within the brewing chamber 2, which is used to hold ice cubes. Specifically, the cooling chamber 3 is located below the brewing chamber 2, so that ice water formed by melting ice cubes in the brewing chamber 4 can drip into the cooling chamber 3 below. The cooling chamber 3 is used to hold a coffee cup 5. A filter assembly 6 can be placed at the top of the coffee cup 5, and the filter assembly 6 may include a bucket-shaped filter and filter paper. Coffee powder to be brewed can be placed within the filter assembly 6, and the melted ice water drips onto the coffee powder in the filter assembly 6 to form coffee liquid. The coffee liquid is filtered by the filter assembly 6 and drips into the coffee cup 5. The coffee liquid in the coffee cup 5 is placed in the cooling chamber 3 at a low temperature. Therefore, as the coffee liquid is formed, it is cooled simultaneously, forming the cooling chamber 3 similar to the cold storage compartment of a refrigerator, which can maintain a low temperature environment. The brewed coffee liquid is always kept at a low temperature in the coffee cup, and has an excellent icy and refreshing taste. It can be consumed directly without refrigeration. This shortens the preparation time of iced coffee, simplifies the operation process, and improves the efficiency of iced coffee production.

[0055] Continuing with Figures 4 and 5 , the housing 1 is further provided with a refrigeration mechanism 7 and a first fan 8 . One side of the refrigeration mechanism 7 is a cooling side, and the other side is a heat dissipation side. That is, during the refrigeration process, the refrigeration mechanism 7 releases cold energy on the cooling side and heat energy on the heat dissipation side. The cooling side of the refrigeration mechanism 7 is used to release cold energy to the cooling chamber 3 and maintain the cooling chamber 3 within a set temperature range. This set temperature range can maintain the cooling chamber 3 at a low temperature, thereby maintaining the coffee liquid in the coffee cup in the cooling chamber 3 at a low temperature. This allows coffee to be brewed in a low-temperature environment and consumed immediately after brewing, eliminating the need for refrigeration. This shortens user waiting time, improves user experience, shortens iced coffee production time, simplifies the operation process, and improves iced coffee production efficiency. For example, the set temperature range can be 0°C to 6°C, or other temperature ranges. The specific setting can be based on actual needs. This is merely an example and does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the claims.

[0056] The body 1 is also provided with an air duct. The first fan 8 and the heat dissipation side of the refrigeration mechanism 7 are both located within the air duct. The air duct is connected to the brewing chamber 2 via a connecting hole 15. When the first fan 8 is activated, the first fan 8 can blow heat released by the refrigeration mechanism 7 through the air duct into the brewing chamber 2, thereby allowing the heat generated by the operation of the cold drip coffee maker to enter the brewing chamber 2. More specifically, the first fan 8 can blow the heat generated by the operation of the cold drip coffee maker into the environment where the ice cubes are located, thereby accelerating the melting of the ice cubes. This heat generated by the operation of the cold drip coffee maker not only increases the melting speed of the ice cubes, but also reduces energy consumption. This embodiment of the present application transfers heat generated by the refrigeration mechanism of the body 1 into the brewing chamber 2, thereby heating the ice cubes in the brewing chamber 2, thereby increasing the melting speed of the ice cubes. This shortens the coffee making time and reduces energy consumption. In addition, the baffle 18 blocks the communicating hole 15 under set conditions to prevent the high-temperature gas in the air duct from entering the brewing chamber 2, thereby preventing heat loss and avoiding a poor user experience.

[0057] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4 and 6 , the housing 1 includes an inner shell 101 and an outer shell 102. A mounting hole 103 is provided on the inner shell 101 at a position corresponding to the cooling bin 3. The refrigeration mechanism 7 is disposed at the mounting hole 103, with the cooling side of the refrigeration mechanism 7 facing the cooling bin 3. By disposing the refrigeration mechanism 7 at the mounting hole 103 of the cooling bin 3 with its cooling side facing the cooling bin 3, the cooling energy from the cooling side of the refrigeration mechanism 7 can quickly enter the cooling bin 3, thereby improving the cooling effect of the refrigeration mechanism 7 on the cooling bin 3.

[0058] The outer shell 102 is arranged on the outside of the inner shell 101 and is enclosed with the back plate of the inner shell 101 to form an air duct. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the gas between the outer shell 102 and the inner shell 101 can circulate along the arrows in the figures, so that the refrigeration mechanism 7 releases heat from the heat dissipation side during operation. Gas with a certain temperature and heat can circulate in the air duct. Under the action of the first fan 8, the circulation speed of the gas in the air duct can be accelerated, thereby allowing the gas with heat to enter the brewing chamber 2 at a faster speed, thereby accelerating the melting speed of the ice cubes in the brewing chamber 2. Among them, the first fan 8 can be a blower. The first fan 8 can be arranged below the heat dissipation side of the refrigeration mechanism 7. Specifically, the air outlet of the first fan 8 is located below the heat dissipation side of the refrigeration mechanism 7, so that the heat emitted from the heat dissipation side of the refrigeration mechanism 7 is blown upward into the brewing chamber 2 through the gas flow.

[0059] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 , the ice drip coffee machine further includes a power board assembly 9 , which can be disposed on the inner housing 101 .

[0060] 4 and 6 , the refrigeration mechanism 7 includes a refrigeration fin 701 , a first heat conducting plate 702 and a second heat conducting plate 703 .

[0061] The cooling plate 701, also known as a thermoelectric semiconductor cooling element or Peltier element, is a thermally conductive patch with two sides: one for dissipating heat and the other for dissipating cooling. The cooling plate 701 is connected to the power board assembly 9. When the power board assembly 9 receives a current signal, the cooling plate 701 begins operating and cools the gas from the cooling chamber 3.

[0062] The first heat conducting plate 702 is disposed on the cooling side of the refrigeration fin 701 and is used to transfer the cold energy released from the cooling side of the refrigeration fin 701 to the cooling chamber 3. The first heat conducting plate 702 can be a heat-conducting aluminum plate or other heat-conducting plate. The first heat conducting plate 702 can be disposed parallel to the refrigeration fin 701, and the area of ​​the first heat conducting plate 702 can be larger than the area of ​​the refrigeration fin 701 to better transfer the cold energy released from the cooling side of the refrigeration fin 701 to the cooling chamber 3, thereby improving the cooling effect on the cooling chamber 3.

[0063] The second heat conducting plate 703 is arranged on the heat dissipation side of the refrigeration fin 701, and is used to transfer the heat from the heat dissipation side of the refrigeration fin 701 to the air duct. Similarly, the second heat conducting plate 703 can also be a heat-conducting aluminum plate, or other heat conducting plates. The second heat conducting plate 703 can also be arranged parallel to the refrigeration fin 701, and the area of ​​the second heat conducting plate 703 is larger than the area of ​​the refrigeration fin 701, so as to better transfer the heat released from the heat dissipation side of the refrigeration fin 701 to the air duct, and then the heat is transported to the cooling chamber 3 through the first fan 8, making full use of the heat generated by the refrigeration mechanism 7 itself during operation to melt ice cubes and reduce energy consumption.

[0064] By respectively arranging a first heat conducting plate 702 and a second heat conducting plate 703 on the cooling side and the heat dissipating side of the refrigeration plate 701, the cold on the cooling side and the heat on the heat dissipating side of the refrigeration plate 701 can be better transferred to the cooling chamber 3 and the air duct respectively, thereby improving the energy utilization efficiency of the refrigeration mechanism 7.

[0065] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , the ice drip coffee machine further includes a sensor 10 and a control panel 11 .

[0066] The sensor 10 is disposed on the inner housing 101 and is used to detect the temperature of the brewing chamber 2 and send a detection signal to the power board assembly 9. When the temperature in the brewing chamber 2 is within a set temperature range, the power board assembly 9 adjusts the operating power of the first fan 8. The sensor 10 detects the temperature of the brewing chamber 2 and adaptively adjusts the operating power of the first fan 8 based on the detected temperature, thereby maximizing the utilization rate of the heat generated by the body 1 itself, increasing the speed of ice melting, and reducing energy consumption.

[0067] The control panel 11 is disposed on the inner housing 101 and connected to the power strip assembly 9. Specifically, the control panel 11 can be disposed on the front side of the inner housing 101. An operation button is disposed on the control panel 11, and the operation button is used to send a start signal to the power strip assembly 9 to start the first fan 8. For example, when the operation button is pressed, turned, or touched, the operation button is used to send a start signal to the power strip assembly 9. After receiving the start signal, the power strip assembly 9 starts the first fan 8, and the first fan 8 begins to operate. Whether the first fan 8 is started or not is related to the user's usage requirements of the ice drip coffee machine. For example, if the user needs to accelerate the melting of ice cubes, the first fan 8 can be started; if the user does not need to accelerate the melting of ice cubes, the first fan 8 can be deactivated.

[0068] In some embodiments, the power board assembly 9 includes a first control switch, which is connected to the control panel 11 and the first fan 8 respectively. The first control switch is turned on after receiving a start signal from the control panel 11 to start the first fan 8. The first control switch can be, but is not limited to, a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR), i.e., a thyristor.

[0069] The first control switch is used to control the activation of the first fan 8 so that the first fan 8 is activated when the ice drip coffee machine needs to use the heat generated by itself to melt ice cubes, and the first fan 8 is not activated when the heat generated by itself is not needed to melt ice cubes, thereby avoiding energy waste caused by unnecessary activation of the first fan 8.

[0070] In some embodiments, the housing 102 is provided with a heat dissipation hole 104 . The heat dissipation hole 104 includes a plurality of heat dissipation holes 104 . The plurality of heat dissipation holes 104 are provided at positions of the housing 102 corresponding to the refrigeration mechanism 7 .

[0071] The cold drip coffee maker also includes a cooling fan 12, which can be mounted on the back panel of the inner housing 101. The power board assembly 9 includes a second control switch, which is connected to the control panel 11 and the cooling fan 12. When the first control switch is off, the second control switch turns on to activate the cooling fan 12, thereby discharging heat from the air duct to the exterior of the machine body 1. In other words, the cooling fan 12 and the first blower 8 operate in a time-sharing manner. When the cold drip coffee maker's own heat is not needed to melt ice, the cooling fan 12 can be activated to dissipate heat generated by the refrigeration mechanism 7, thereby preventing the machine body 1 from overheating and affecting the cooling effect on the coffee in the cooling chamber 3.

[0072] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 6, 7, and 8, a baffle 18 is provided at the communicating hole 15. The baffle 18 is used to open or block the communicating hole 15 to control whether the heat in the air duct is supplied to the brewing chamber 2. Specifically, when ice cubes need to be added to the brewing chamber, in order to prevent the user from feeling the higher temperature air from the air duct and experiencing a poor physical sensation, the baffle 18 blocks the communicating hole 15, i.e., prevents the air from the air duct from entering the brewing chamber 2, thereby blocking the air duct from the brewing chamber 2 and improving the user's physical experience.

[0073] In some embodiments, referring to FIG6 , the top of the brewing chamber 2 extends upward to the top of the inner shell 101 and forms a chamber opening 201 , through which the brewing box 4 (with a box opening on the top) can be placed into the brewing chamber 2 .

[0074] Referring again to Figures 3, 4, and 6, the ice drip coffee machine further includes a brewing door assembly, which includes a cover 13 and a door 14. The cover 13 is disposed at the compartment opening 201. Specifically, the cover 13 can be buckled onto the top of the inner shell 101, above the compartment opening 201. A connecting hole 15 is formed between the cover 13 and the inner shell 101, connecting the air duct and the brewing chamber 2. This allows heat released from the heat dissipation side of the refrigeration mechanism 7 to enter the air duct and then be released into the brewing chamber 2 through the connecting hole 15. Specifically, referring to Figure 5, two connecting holes 15 can be provided, or more than two can be provided as needed. This is merely an example and does not limit the scope of protection of the claims.

[0075] An opening 131 is provided on the box cover 13, and the opening 131 can be provided in the middle position of the box cover 13. The box door 14 is hinged on the box cover 13 so that the box door 14 can rotate relative to the box cover 13 to open or close the opening 131 on the box cover 13. Referring again to Figures 6, 7 and 8, a baffle 18 is provided on the box door 14 and moves with the box door 14. More specifically, the baffle 18 is provided at a position of the box door 14 close to the connecting hole 15, and the baffle 18 moves synchronously with the box door 14. When the box door 14 closes the opening 131, the brewing chamber 2 can be sealed in the inner shell 101, and the baffle 18 opens the connecting hole 15; when the box door 14 opens the opening 131, the baffle 18 blocks the connecting hole 15 to prevent the air duct from communicating with the brewing chamber 2. Specifically, when the door 14 rotates relative to the lid 13 and opens the opening 131 (for example, when the door 14 is opened to add ice cubes into the brewing chamber 2), the baffle 18 rotates synchronously with the door 14 and blocks the communicating hole 15 to prevent the gas in the air duct from entering the brewing chamber 2 through the communicating hole 15, thereby preventing the high-temperature gas from the air duct from causing a bad user experience; and when the door 14 rotates relative to the lid 13 and closes the opening 131, the baffle 18 rotates synchronously with the door 14 and opens the communicating hole 15, so that the gas in the air duct can enter the brewing chamber 2 through the communicating hole 15 to melt the ice cubes in the brewing chamber 2.

[0076] By arranging the compartment opening 201 and the brewing door assembly at the top of the brewing chamber 2, it is not only convenient to take out and put in ice cubes, but also can seal the brewing chamber 2 to prevent the heat in the brewing chamber 2 from flowing out of the brewing chamber 2 when the ice cubes melt, thereby affecting the melting speed of the ice cubes in the brewing chamber 2; in addition, it also prevents external dust and other debris from falling into the brewing chamber 2 from the compartment opening 201, causing hygiene and safety problems.

[0077] In some embodiments, in conjunction with FIG4 , the ice drip coffee machine further includes a second fan 16, which is installed in the machine body 1. Specifically, the second fan 16 is installed at a position close to the cooling side of the refrigeration mechanism 7. The second fan 16 is used to pump the gas in the cooling bin 3 to the refrigeration mechanism 7, so that the refrigeration mechanism 7 can cool the gas from the cooling bin 3. Among them, the second fan 16 can also be a blower. The gas in the cooling bin 3 is transported to the air inlet of the refrigeration mechanism 7 by the second fan 16, so that the refrigeration mechanism 7 can cool the gas from the cooling bin 3, and release cold energy into the cooling bin 3 in the process, so that the cooling bin 3 maintains a low temperature state, so as to cool the coffee liquid in the cooling bin 3 faster, so that the coffee liquid can be drunk directly after brewing without being placed in the refrigerator for refrigeration.

[0078] The front side of the cooling bin 3 passes through the front side of the outer shell 102 and forms a bin door. A bin door panel 17 can be provided at the bin door. The bin door panel 17 is hinged to the inner shell 101 so that the bin door panel 17 can be opened and closed relative to the inner shell 101. When the bin door panel 17 is closed, the bin door panel 17 can seal and block the bin door so that the cooling bin 3 maintains a low-temperature environment. When the bin door panel 17 is opened, the coffee cup 5 can be placed in the cooling bin 3 or the coffee cup 5 can be taken out of the cooling bin 3.
