The mounting table 121 further includes a first mounting protrusion 1211 and a second mounting protrusion 1212, the first mounting protrusion 1211 and the second mounting protrusion 1212 are respectively disposed at two ends of the surface of the mounting table 121 facing the second receiving space 112, the first mounting protrusion 1211 and the second mounting protrusion 1212 respectively correspond to the first fixing protrusion 1311a and the second fixing protrusion 1311b, and the cross-sectional shapes of the first mounting protrusion 1211 and the second mounting protrusion 1212 are also non-circular structures, so that the mounting table 121 can cooperate with the fixing table 131 to limit the heating module 30 mounted in the second receiving space 112.

In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the mounting table 121 is a structure having a rectangular middle part and circular arcs at two ends, and the cross-sectional shape of the mounting table 121 is identical to the cross-sectional shape of the fixing table 131, and when the bracket cover 12 is mounted and fixed in the second receiving space 112, the position of the mounting table 121 corresponds to the position of the fixing table 131.

In other embodiments, the mounting table 121 is further provided with a mounting through hole 1211 at the center, and the mounting through hole 1211 is used for matching with a screw to fix the bracket cover 12 to the second receiving space 112 and fix the heating module 30 in the second receiving space 112. To this end, the housing 10 can accommodate the water inlet module 40, the power module 20, the water outlet module 50, the heating module 30 and the control module 60 in the housing 10, and the overall size of the brewing core module 1 can be reduced by the corresponding structure of the housing 10.

When the water pump 21 works, the damping spring 222 and the rubber bracket 221 absorb the vibration generated by the water pump 21, so that the noise and vibration generated when the power module 20 works are greatly reduced, and the power module 20 keeps a relatively quiet state in the second accommodating space 112 when in a working state.

Referring to fig. 10, the heating module 30 includes a boiler body 31, a circuit board 32, a boiler support 33, a temperature sensor 34, a silicon controlled rectifier 35, and a heat insulator 36. The circuit board 32, the boiler support 33 and the heat insulating member 36 are disposed on the boiler body 31, the silicon controlled rectifier 35 is electrically connected to the circuit board 32 and disposed on the boiler body 31, and the temperature sensor 34 is disposed on the boiler support 33 and connected to the boiler body 31.

Referring to fig. 11, the boiler body 31 includes a housing 311, heating pipes 312 and water pipes 313, wherein the heating pipes 312 and the water pipes 313 are both installed on the housing 311, and the heating pipes 312 are used for heating the water pipes 313.

For the housing 311, the housing 311 includes an annular cavity 3112, a limiting protrusion 3111 and a fixing platform 3113. The top of shell 311 is provided with fixed platform 3113, fixed platform 3113 is used for installing silicon controlled rectifier 35. The annular cavity 3112 runs through the housing 311 is arranged in the middle of the housing 311, the limiting protrusion 3111 is arranged on the inner wall of the annular cavity 3112, the annular cavity 3112 is used for sleeving the heat insulation member 36, the limiting protrusion 3111 limits and fixes the heat insulation member 36, so that the heat insulation member 36 is arranged at a predetermined position of the annular cavity 3112, and the heating module 30 is sleeved on the fixed table 131 through the matching installation of the annular cavity 3112 and the heat insulation member 36, so that the heating module 30 is arranged in the first accommodating space.

The housing 311 is made of aluminum, and thus the boiler body 31 can achieve a rapid heating effect.

As for the heating pipe 312, the heating pipe 312 is disposed in the annular cavity 3112. The heating pipe 312 is divided into a first U-shaped pipe portion 3121, a second U-shaped pipe portion 3123, and a third U-shaped pipe portion 1322 at the middle portion, the first U-shaped pipe portion 3121 is opposite to the third U-shaped pipe portion 1322, and the first U-shaped pipe portion 3121 and the third U-shaped pipe portion 1322 are connected by the second U-shaped pipe portion 3123. The heating tube 312 can thereby heat the outer shell 311 to the greatest extent around the annular cavity 3112.

In some embodiments, the heating tube 312 is made of pure copper, so that the heating tube 312 has excellent thermal conductivity and the ductility of the heating tube 312 is enhanced, so that the heating tube 312 can ensure the working performance of the heating tube 312 at a relatively cold or high temperature.

In some embodiments, the heating tube 312 is made of a glass guide film.

In some embodiments, the heating tube 312 is made of stainless steel.

For the water pipe 313, the water pipe 313 includes a water inlet end 3131 and a water outlet end 3132, the middle portion of the water pipe 313 is bent into a spiral structure and is received in the annular cavity 3112, and the water inlet end 3131 and the water outlet end 3132 of the water pipe 313 extend out of the annular cavity 3112. Thus, the water tube 313 can make a path of the liquid flowing from the water inlet end 3131 to the water outlet end 3132 in the annular cavity 3112 longer, so that the liquid can be sufficiently heated.

Further, the water outlet end 3132 or the water inlet end 3131 is connected to the outer woven fabric tube and fixed by a clamp. Therefore, the water inlet port 3131 or the water outlet port 3132 can have a good sealing effect on the external connection component, and a situation that a liquid leakage occurs at a connection position of the water inlet port 3131 or the water outlet port 3132 on the external connection component due to thermal expansion and cold contraction is avoided.

The housing 311, the heating pipe 312, and the water pipe 313 are integrally die-cast, thereby ensuring the production quality and efficiency.

The silicon controlled rectifier 35 is installed in contact with the fixed platform 3113, and the silicon controlled rectifier 35 is disposed at one side of the circuit board 32. When the heating module 30 performs a heating operation, the silicon controlled rectifier 35 is in a working state and generates a large amount of heat, and since the silicon controlled rectifier 35 is directly mounted on the fixed platform 3113 in contact with the fixed platform 3113, the heat generated by the silicon controlled rectifier 35 can be transferred to the housing 311 through the fixed platform 3113, thereby implementing a heat dissipation function of the silicon controlled rectifier 35. Because the heating pipe 312 is right when the boiler body 31 heats, the temperature of the boiler body 31 can not exceed 100 degrees centigrade, and the temperature of the silicon controlled rectifier 35 in the working state can rise to 150 degrees centigrade, so the silicon controlled rectifier 35 can pass through the fixed platform 3113 to dissipate heat rapidly, and the temperature of the silicon controlled rectifier 35 is ensured to be in a safe state, thereby avoiding causing safety accidents.

Referring to fig. 12, the boiler support 33 includes an engaging portion 331 and a first mounting portion 332. The engaging portion 331 is used for engaging the other side of the circuit board 32. The first mounting portion 332 is used to cooperate with the temperature sensor 34 so that the temperature sensor 34 can be mounted on the boiler support 33.

The heating module 30 further includes a sleeve 37 and a fuse 38, and the fuse 38 is accommodated in the sleeve 37. The boiler support 33 and the housing 311 together form a fuse mounting groove (not shown), the sleeve 37 is mounted in the fuse mounting groove, and the circuit board 32 is electrically connected to the fuse 38. When the current flowing through the fuse 38 of the circuit board 32 is too large, the fuse 38 is disconnected, so that potential safety hazards caused by short circuit of the heating module 30 are avoided.

Referring to fig. 13, the temperature sensor 34 includes a second mounting portion 341 and a contact portion 342. The second mounting portion 341 is mounted to the first mounting portion 332, and the second mounting portion 341 is movable relative to the first mounting portion 332 so that the contact portion 342 approaches or separates from the housing 311. Further, a spring 343 is provided between the temperature sensor 34 and the boiler support 33, and the spring 343 is used to provide an elastic force for holding the contact portion 342 close to the outer case 311. When the temperature sensor 34 is in a normal state, the contact portion 342 abuts against the outer shell 311 due to the acting force of the spring 343, so that the temperature sensor 34 can detect the real-time temperature of the outer shell 311 by abutting against the outer shell 311, and when the temperature sensor 34 detects that the temperature of the outer shell 311 is too high, the heating pipe 312 reduces the power to keep the temperature of the outer shell 311 within a safe range.

Referring to fig. 14, the heat insulation element 36 is provided with a fixing hole 361 and a limiting groove 362, the fixing hole 361 is disposed through the heat insulation element 36, and the limiting groove 362 is disposed on a surface of the heat insulation element 36. Specifically, the overall profile of the thermal shield 36 is adapted to the annular cavity 3112. The fixing hole 361 is penetratingly disposed at the heat insulating member 36, and a cross section of the fixing hole 361 is fitted with the protrusion 1311, the limiting groove 362 is disposed around the heat insulating member 36, and a shape and a position of the limiting groove 362 are matched with the limiting protrusion 3111. Therefore, the boiler body 31 can be sleeved on the heat insulation member 36 through the annular cavity 3112, and the boiler body 31 can be kept relatively still at the position of the heat insulation member 36 under the action of external force under the cooperation of the limiting protrusion 3111 and the limiting groove 362. When the boiler body 31 is sleeved on the heat insulator 36, the heat insulator 36 is exposed to the annular cavity 3112, and at this time, when the heating module 30 is fixedly installed in the first accommodating space 111 through the heat insulator 36, the boiler body 31 does not contact with the partition plate 13. Therefore, the heating module 30 can realize a space avoiding structure that the heat insulating member 36 and the fixing table 131 are matched and fixed in the first accommodating space 111 and the heating module 30 and the housing 10 of the first accommodating space 111 are not in contact, so that the heating module 30 isolates the housing 10, and the situation that the heat of the heating module 30 is radiated to the inside of the core module 1 and the housing 311 in a contact manner to cause a fault in the core module 1 due to overhigh temperature or damage to a user due to overhigh temperature of the housing is avoided.

Referring to fig. 15, the water inlet module 40 includes a water inlet base 41, a flow meter 42, a water inlet joint 43 and a filter screen 44. The filter screen 44 is installed in the water inlet seat 41, one end of the flow meter 42 is connected with the water inlet seat 41, the other end of the flow meter 42 is connected with one end of the water inlet connector 43, and the other end of the water inlet connector 43 is connected with the water inlet 211 of the water pump.

For the above water inlet seat 41, the water inlet seat 41 includes a water receiving opening 411 and a water receiving pipe 412, and the water receiving opening 411 is communicated with the water receiving pipe 412. Specifically, the water receiving opening 411 is cylindrical, a water receiving tray 413 extends from one end face of the water receiving opening 411 in a direction away from the center of the circle, a water receiving cavity is formed in the center of the water receiving tray 413, and the water receiving cavity is communicated with the water receiving pipe 412. Thus, the water inlet seat 41 can convey water from an external water source to the next component through the water receiving opening 411 and the water receiving pipe 412.

In some embodiments, the water pan 413 of the water inlet seat 41 is further provided with at least 1 annular protrusion (not shown) and a sealing member (not shown). The sealing piece is arranged between the water receiving cavity and the annular bulge. Therefore, the water inlet seat 41 can be sealed with the component connected with the water inlet seat 41, and the water inlet seat 41 is ensured not to leak.

In the flow meter 42, the flow meter 42 is fixedly installed in the second housing space 112, and the flow meter 42 is further connected to the control module 60. The flow meter 42 is used to detect the amount of water passing through the flow meter 42. The flow meter 42 may also control the water intake module 40 to turn the power module 20 on and off via data sent by the control module 60. When the user determines the quantity or the value of the beverage to be brewed, the data is input into the control module 60, the control module 60 processes the data and sends the actual data to the flow meter 42, after the flow meter 42 reaches the given value, the control module 60 sends a command to the flow meter 42, the flow meter 42 is turned off, and the water pump 21 stops working. Therefore, the core module 1 can accurately control the liquid output according to the quantity of drinks brewed according to actual needs, so that waste is avoided.

For the filter screen 44, the filter screen 44 is installed in the water receiving chamber. Therefore, the fluid entering the water pump 21 through the water inlet seat 41 is purified, so that the water pump 21 is prevented from working abnormally and causing safety problems due to accumulation of impurities after long-term use, and the prepared beverage can be ensured to meet or even be superior to relevant industrial regulations.

In some embodiments, the filter screen 44 is composed of a non-woven filter layer, an activated carbon filter layer, and a polymer permeable membrane filter layer.
