Specifically, the coffee machine is provided with a storage module, a user inputs brewing target parameters according to the requirement, and the brewing target parameters are stored in the storage module. The coffee machine is provided with a sensor to obtain brewing operation parameters, and whether errors occur in the coffee machine at present is judged by judging the matching condition of the brewing target parameters and the brewing operation parameters in real time each time the coffee machine operates. And when the coffee maker has an error, judging the error type, making a corresponding automatic optimization execution instruction, automatically correcting the error, re-operating after automatically correcting the error, and repeating the steps S10 to S40 until the prepared coffee flavor meets the coffee flavor required by the user, so that the maintenance frequency of professionals is reduced, the equipment failure rate is reduced, and the maintenance cost is reduced.
Further, the brewing target parameter and/or the brewing operation parameter includes, but is not limited to, a water pump flow rate, an extraction temperature, an extraction time, an extraction pressure, a coffee powder compaction force, a milk beverage making temperature, a milk pump flow rate, and an air intake amount.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, step S40 includes the following steps:
s411, when the error type is that the operation density of the coffee powder cake in the extraction assembly of the coffee machine is smaller than the preset target density of the coffee powder cake of the coffee machine, configuring an automatic step-by-step fine-adjustment optimization instruction of a coarse-fine grinding gear of a grinding assembly of the coffee machine so as to enable the operation density of the coffee powder cake to accord with the target density of the coffee powder cake.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the coffee maker includes a water pump 10, a coffee boiler 20, a grinding assembly 30, and an extraction assembly 40. The water pump 10, the coffee boiler 20, the grinding assembly 30 and the extraction assembly 40 form a coffee liquid making line, two ends of the coffee boiler 20 are respectively communicated with the water pump 10 and the extraction assembly 40, and a flow sensor 11 is arranged on a water path communicated with the water pump 10 and the coffee boiler 20 and used for detecting the extraction operation flow velocity V2(ii) a The coffee boiler 20 is used for providing heating water, and is provided with a first pressure sensor 21 and a first temperature sensor 22 for respectively obtaining a pressure value and a temperature value in the coffee boiler 20 to represent an extraction operating pressure P2And the extraction operation temperature; grinding assembly 30 is separate from the fluid path conduit of the coffee maker, grinding assembly 30 is connected to extraction assembly 40, and grinding assembly 30 is configured to grind coffee beans to form coffee grounds and deliver the coffee grounds to extraction assembly 40. Filling the grinding assembly 30 with coffee beans, the grinding assembly 30 opening the grinding to form coffee powder and directing the coffee powder into the extraction assembly 40; the extraction assembly 40 compacts the coffee powder to form a coffee powder cake of a desired thickness; the water pump 10 supplies water into the coffee boiler 20, the coffee boiler 20 heats the water and then pours the water into the extraction assembly 40, the hot water flushes the coffee powder cake, the hot water penetrates the compacted coffee powder cake layer by layer as external pressure, and the coffee powder can separate out caffeine and tannin under the synergistic action of temperature and pressureDissolving the components in water, and extracting the flavor essence in the coffee powder cake to obtain coffee liquid, wherein the coffee liquid is guided to a coffee liquid outlet end of the coffee machine through a water path. The thickness of the powder in the coffee powder cake and the thickness of the powder cake can influence the extraction effect.
When the coffee machine is used initially, after the brewing target parameters are input by a user, the coffee liquid made by the coffee machine according to the brewing target parameters meets the taste of the user. As the service life of the coffee machine is prolonged, the abrasion amount of the grinding blades of the grinding assembly 30 of the coffee machine is increased, which results in a reduced grinding effect and a coarser ground coffee, further resulting in that the ground coffee is not easily compacted under the same compaction force of the extraction assembly 40, the thickness of the formed cake is increased, the pores between adjacent powder are increased, the density of the formed cake is reduced, brewing operation parameters are affected, the extraction flow rate is accelerated, the extraction is insufficient, and the flavor of the coffee is poor. Obtaining brewing target parameters and brewing operation parameters; the brewing target parameter and the brewing operation parameter are obtained through real-time comparison, the grinding effect is judged according to the comparison of the brewing target parameter and the brewing operation parameter, the thickness grinding gear is automatically adjusted to be fine, the size of ground powder is reduced, the extraction assembly 40 is conveniently compacted into the required cake thickness, and pores between adjacent powder are controlled, so that the coffee cake operation density meets the coffee cake target density, and the flavor of coffee liquid prepared through extraction is automatically adjusted to meet the flavor formed under the brewing target parameter condition preset by a user.
In one embodiment, the brewing target parameter comprises an extraction target time t1Target flow velocity V of extraction1Target extraction pressure P1(ii) a The brewing operation parameter comprises an extraction operation time t2And the extraction operation flow velocity V2Extraction operating pressure P2
In step S411, when t is reached2<t1,V2>V1,P2<P1And judging that the running density of the coffee powder cake is less than the target density of the coffee powder cake. Specifically, taking espresso coffee as an example for illustration, the espresso coffee keeps the preferred extraction rate at 18% -22%, which corresponds to the extraction target time t1Is 20-30s, extraction target flow velocity V10.85-1.5ml/s, extraction target pressure P16-8bar, the extraction operation temperature is 85-95 ℃, and the powder pressing force of the extraction component 40 is 25-40 Kg. When the amount of abrasion of the grinding blade of the grinding unit 30 increases, the thickness of the coffee cake compacted in the extraction unit 40 increases, the porosity increases, the density of the coffee cake decreases, and the extraction operation time t is reduced2Reduced, extraction operating flow velocity V2Accelerated, extraction operating pressure P2And becomes smaller. By obtaining and evaluating the extraction run time t2And the extraction operation flow velocity V2Extraction operating pressure P2The change of the grinding cutter is determined to cause the coffee powder to be thickened to cause errors due to the fact that the grinding cutter is abraded, then the coffee powder can be automatically adjusted to be fine step by step through a coarse grinding gear, the coffee powder thickness is controlled in time, then the follow-up extraction effect is controlled, and the coffee flavor which is used by a user is maintained.
It should be understood that when the extraction is run time t2And the extraction operation flow velocity V2Extraction operating pressure P2The change in one or both of these parameters cannot be directly determined to be caused by the coarsening of the coffee powder due to the wear of the grinding blade, possibly due to an improper control of the operating parameters of a certain component of the coffee machine. For example, improper control of the coffee boiler pressure control module results in an extraction operating pressure P2And the extraction target pressure P1The inconsistency cannot represent that the grinding tool is damaged to cause the coffee powder to become coarse, and only the coffee boiler pressure control module is adjusted to cause the extraction operation pressure P2And the extraction target pressure P1And (5) matching.
Further, the method further includes step S412:
after the automatic fine-tuning optimization step by step in step S411, the continuous n is automatically evaluated1In the cup making process, the running density of the coffee powder cake is still smaller than the target density of the coffee powder cake, and the powder pressing force of the extraction assembly of the coffee machine automatically increases an optimization instruction step by step so that the running density of the coffee powder cake meets the target density of the coffee powder cake; wherein n is1Not less than 3. Specifically, when the automatic fine adjustment is optimized to the gear limit, the fine adjustment can not be continued, and the automatic evaluation result still judges the running density of the coffee powder cakeIf the density is still less than the target density of the coffee powder cake, namely the coffee powder is still coarse, the extraction is influenced, and the required extraction rate is achieved by increasing the powder pressing force gear, namely increasing the powder pressing force to compact and press the fine coffee powder. In actual operation, the relatively coarse powder in the coffee machine before optimization still remains in the initial optimization stage, and after automatic optimization, at least a third cup is used for continuous evaluation and test n1Taste of cup coffee, i.e. continuous evaluation of residual coarse powder after consumption1And (4) making coffee in a cup.
Further, the method further includes step S413:
when the powder pressing force gear is automatically increased and optimized step by step in the step S412, the continuous n is automatically evaluated2In the cup making process, the running density of the coffee powder cake is still less than the target density of the coffee powder cake, and the coffee machine is provided with a fault alarm; wherein n is2Not less than 3. Specifically, after the fine grinding gear is adjusted and the powder pressing force gear optimization instruction is increased step by step automatically, the operating density of the coffee powder cake is still smaller than the target density of the coffee powder cake, and the coffee machine still judges wrongly, a fault warning is configured and needs to be adjusted manually. Likewise, after automatic optimization, at least a continuous evaluation n is performed starting from the third cup2Taste of cup coffee, i.e. continuous evaluation of residual coarse powder after consumption2And (4) making coffee in a cup.
Further, the method further includes step S414:
when the coffee machine automatically optimizes to enable the coffee powder cake operation density to accord with the coffee powder cake target density, the brewing target parameter and the brewing operation parameter are not matched, and the coffee machine automatically optimizes the brewing operation parameter. Specifically, after error correction and optimization of the coffee machine, the coffee powder cake operation density is made to accord with the coffee powder cake target density, namely, the error type is automatically solved, the brewing target parameter and the brewing operation parameter are not matched yet, which indicates that the control of the component corresponding to the unmatched brewing operation parameter has a problem, and the control instruction of the component is automatically optimized, so that the brewing operation parameter accords with the brewing target parameter.
In an embodiment, said brewing target parameter comprises a first preset temperature T at the milk foamer inlet of the coffee machine2And a second predetermined temperature T at the outlet4(ii) a The brewing operating parameter comprises a first operating temperature T at the inlet of the milk frothing device1And a second operating temperature T at the outlet3
Step S40 includes the following steps:
s421, when the first operation temperature T is1Is not equal to the first preset temperature T2The coffee machine is provided with milk temperature warning;
s422, when the second operation temperature T3Is not equal to the second preset temperature T4The coffee machine automatically adjusts the milk pump flow rate to optimize the second predetermined temperature T3
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the coffee maker further includes a steam boiler 50, a generator 60, a milk pump 70, and an air intake valve 81. The water pump 10, the coffee boiler 20, the steam boiler 50, the whipper 60, the milk pump 70 and the air inlet valve 81 form a milk beverage making line, two ends of the steam boiler 50 are communicated with the coffee boiler 20 and the whipper 60, and two ends of the whipper 60 are communicated with the milk pump 70 and the milk outlet. The water pump 10 supplies water into the coffee boiler 20, the coffee boiler 20 heats the water and then pours the water into the steam boiler 50, and the steam boiler 50 heats the water to form steam to heat the milk in the whipper 60, so as to maintain the temperature of the milk in the whipper 60 within a desired temperature range, and sterilize the milk at a high temperature. The air inlet valve 81 is used to introduce a desired amount of air into the milk pump 70 to mix with milk and create milk foam through the whipper 60, which is directed to the milk outlet of the coffee maker via the water path. As shown, the coffee outlet and the milk outlet are opposite to the beverage placing table 90, and the beverage placing table 90 is used for placing the beverage cup.
Further, a first preset temperature T is defined2At 2-10 deg.C, when the first operation temperature T is1Below 2 ℃, the milk is at risk of freezing, when the first operating temperature T1Above 10 deg.C, the milk beverage has poor milk foaming effect. In order to ensure that the mouthfeel temperature of the prepared milk beverage is better, a second preset temperature T is limited460-65 ℃; when the second operation temperature T is3Below 60 ℃, the control unit of the coffee machine controls the milk pump 70 to reduce the flow rate so as to prolong the heating time of the milk in the whipper 60; on the contrary, when the second operation temperature T is3Above 65 deg.C, the control unit of the coffee machine controls the milk pump 70 andthe flow rate is fast to reduce the heating time of the milk in the beater 60.
Further, step S423 is also included:
when the first operating temperature T1Equal to a first predetermined temperature T2While matching the first operating temperature T1The air inflow and the rotating speed of the corresponding milk pump are used for automatically optimizing milk foam. In particular, the air intake valve 81 is a variable-ratio air valve, and the control unit in the coffee maker controls the air intake quantity of the air intake valve 81 to match different first operating temperatures T1The gas solubility of the milk at the time of use, to formulate a better foaming effect to which the user is accustomed.
