Detailed Description

The present invention will be further described with reference to the following description and examples, which include but are not limited to the following examples.

The present embodiment aims to provide a cup feeding mechanism applied to a capsule coffee machine, which is located below a capsule extraction head 5 of the coffee machine to move a coffee capsule to or from a position corresponding to the capsule extraction head, with reference to fig. 1 to 3. Wherein the capsule extraction head is a component provided by the Nestle company.

Specifically, referring to fig. 4-6, the cup feed mechanism includes a cup throwing track 30, a transfer assembly, and an extraction cup mechanism 31. The cup throwing track 30 comprises cup throwing track brackets 301 at the left side and the right side, and a front cup throwing track 302 and a rear cup throwing track 303 which are arranged above the two cup throwing track brackets; front side cup throwing rail 302 and rear side cup throwing rail 303 have front side groove 304 and rear side groove 305, respectively, on opposite sides thereof. Two ends of the rear side sliding groove are respectively provided with a limiting block, the front side and the rear side of the extraction cup mechanism 31 are respectively arranged in the front side sliding groove 304 and the rear side sliding groove 305 in a sliding manner, and the limiting blocks can limit the sliding range of the extraction cup mechanism 31. When the extraction cup mechanism 31 slides to the right side limiting block, the coffee capsules conveyed by the coffee machine lifting mechanism can be received and then conveyed to the lower part of the capsule extraction head, and after coffee is brewed, the extraction cup mechanism carries the coffee capsule object to move to the left side limiting block for the next procedure. In order to enable the extraction cup mechanism 31 to receive the coffee capsule, a capsule clamping hole 311 is formed in a corresponding position on the extraction cup mechanism, and in order to prevent the capsule extraction head from pressing down or lifting up to drive the coffee capsule to move, a capsule clamping groove 312 is further formed in the capsule clamping hole 311, and the inner wall of the capsule clamping groove is matched with the side wall of the coffee capsule.

The conveying assembly is arranged side by side with the cup throwing track 30 and arranged at the rear side of the cup throwing track, so that the conveying assembly can drive the extraction cup mechanism to move conveniently. Specifically, the conveying assembly comprises a motor 32, a driving wheel 321, a driven wheel 322 and a conveying belt 323, the driving wheel and the driven wheel are respectively installed on the cup throwing track 30 through a mounting seat, the motor is located below the driving wheel, an output shaft of the motor is connected with the driving wheel, the conveying belt 323 is sleeved between the driving wheel and the driven wheel, and the conveying belt is connected with the extraction cup mechanism 31 to drive the extraction cup mechanism to move on the cup throwing track. The extraction cup mechanisms can be made of plates with holes, and the extraction cup mechanisms are fixedly connected with the conveyor belt in a clamping plate mode, a U-shaped clamping plate mode or a connecting rod mode. The positions of the two sides of the extraction cup mechanism 31 can be limited by the limiting blocks, the middle stop position corresponds to the capsule extraction head, for the convenience that the coffee capsule can accurately correspond to the capsule extraction head, the cup throwing track 30 is further provided with the infrared reflection sensor 33, when the extraction cup mechanism moves to the preset position, the infrared reflection sensor can receive the infrared rays reflected by the capsule clamping groove, and then the infrared reflection sensor is determined.

In the device of this embodiment, extraction cup mechanism moves to right side stopper department (coffee capsule receiving position promptly) under the drive of conveyer belt and waits, receives the coffee capsule after, moves to the extraction position (there is sensor feedback). An extraction pressing plate in the capsule extraction head moves downwards to press the capsule, a needle on the extraction pressing plate punctures the capsule and injects high-temperature and high-pressure water to extract, and the extraction pressing plate moves upwards to be separated from the capsule after extraction (the conventional process of Nestle coffee). Then the extraction cup mechanism moves to a left limiting block (a recovery position) to wait for entering the next process. This embodiment send cup mechanism overall structure simple, reasonable in design throws cup track and transfer module and sets up side by side, and occupation space is little, and extraction cup mechanism removes the in-process and can not influenced by other spare parts, removes smoothly, can fully satisfy capsule coffee machine's demand.
