Abstract

A coffee mill with a deflector for guiding the ground coffee ejected radially from a grinding unit through an opening into a container situated below it, the deflector consisting substantially of a deflecting flap which is arranged so as to be pivotable about a spindle in the region of the exit opening of the ground coffee from the grinding unit.

Description

DESCRIPTION

In coffee grinders, the coffee powder produced by grinding the beans is radially removed from the toothed grinders into a removable one or stable / ejected, through an outlet opening that connects the grinding chamber with the container connects.

According to the known state of the art, there is usually a solid in the vicinity of this opening, within the container built-in deflector that pushes the coffee powder down so that it does not get into the container lid, from which it could seep.

The great force and the high speed with which the coffee powder is pushed, and the electrostatic picked up by the coffee powder during the grinding process Electricity charges cause the coffee powder to build up in the vicinity of the outlet opening.

Coffee powder accumulated in this area will cause clogging the outlet opening from the grinding unit and then to the extremely dangerous jamming of this unit with harmful consequences for the engine, which is oversized, but is still quite vulnerable.

It is the object of the invention to eliminate the risk of malfunctions in the engine assembly and at the same time to do so. avoid that the coffee powder is ejected from the grinding unit directly into the container or against its lid, from which it can seep and escape.

To solve this problem, the invention proposes the execution

tion of a coffee grinder with a deflector, which is able to remove the radially ejected from a grinding unit To guide coffee powder through an opening into an underlying container, characterized in that the deflector consists essentially of a deflection flap which can be pivoted about a spindle in the area of the outlet opening of the Coffee powder from the grinder is arranged.

The functional and structural properties as well as the Advantages of the deflector designed according to the invention are below on the basis of a possible, non-limiting, shown schematically in the accompanying drawings Embodiment described in more detail. Show it:

1 shows a coffee grinder with the deflector according to the invention in a schematic view in elevation and in partial section,

Fig. 2 shows the deflector according to the invention in a view Elevation along the line ΪΙ-ΙΙ of Fig. 3 and

3 shows the deflector in a front view in partial section along the arrow F in FIG. 2.

In the drawings, a total of 10 is designated Coffee grinder the coffee beans located in a feed hopper into a grinding and grinding unit 12 coated in powder form through the opening 13 ejects and stowed in a container 14, the sowoÜl can be stable as well as removable.

A tilt deflector, designated as a whole with 15 and arranged at the exit from the opening 13, consists of a body

per 16 made of plastic, in the form of one to two side Straps 17 inclined "U" is pressed, each with a threaded hole 18 for connection to the coffee grinder 10 and an upper bore 19 perpendicular to the first bore.

The bores 19 contain and carry a freely rotating Spindle 20 to which a deflection flap 21 is attached at 22, which can pivot within the support body.

The tilt deflector according to the invention works as follows:

Those located in the feed hopper 11 of the coffee grinder 10 Coffee beans are continuously fed to the grinding unit 12, which grinds the coffee beans into coffee powder.

The grinding unit 12 rotates at high speed and thereby pushes the coffee powder from the opening 13 to the container 14 off, the coffee powder hitting the "flap 21 located in the position shown in FIG. 1, that the same comes to pivot about the spindle 20 (position shown in phantom).

The pivoting movement prevents the coffee powder from piling up in the area of the opening 13 and on the flap 21 and conveys it further into the container 14.

The tilt deflector 15 prevents the formation of coffee powder deposits and the clogging of the opening 13, so that the motor unit (not shown) of the coffee grinder 10 cannot be damaged.

As a result, the upper part of the container 14 no coffee powder comes out.

With the coffee grinders provided with this tilt deflector, electric motors can be provided, which are less powerful than usual and therefore energy-saving and more economical.
