As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 7 , the water outlet mechanism 12 includes a roller plate 120 , a screw 122 , a roller 124 , a driving module 126 , a connecting rod seat 128 , a connecting rod 130 , and a pivot 132 . A water outlet nozzle 134, a fixed rod 136, a first micro switch 138, a second micro switch 140 and a water quantity control valve 142.

The roller plate 120 is fixed in the housing 10. The screw 122 is disposed on one side of the roller plate 120. The roller 124 is disposed on the screw 122 and abuts against the roller plate 120. The roller 124 is rotatable relative to the screw 122 along a thread on the screw 122. The drive module 126 is coupled to the screw 122. In this embodiment, the driving module 126 can include a motor 1260, a first gear 1262, and a second gear 1264, wherein the first gear 1262 is coupled to the motor 1260, the second gear 1264 is coupled to the screw 122, and first The gear 1262 and the second gear 1264 mesh with each other. Therefore, when the motor 1260 is activated, the motor 1260 will drive the first gear 1262 to rotate, and the first gear 1262 will drive the second gear 1264 to rotate, thereby driving the screw 122 to rotate.

The link seat 128 is disposed on the screw 122. The connecting rod 130 has a first end 1300, a second end 1302 and a long slot 1304. The long slot 1304 is located between the first end 1300 and the second end 1302. The pivot 132 pivots the first end 1300 of the link 130 to the link seat 128. The water outlet nozzle 134 is coupled to the second end 1302 of the connecting rod 130. One end of the fixed rod 136 is disposed in the long groove 1304 of the link 130. The first micro switch 138 is disposed at one of the starting points of the roller 124 (as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4), and the second micro switch 140 is disposed at the end of one of the rollers 124 (as shown in FIG. 6). . The water volume control valve 142 is connected to one of the water inlets 1340 of the water outlet nozzle 134.

It should be noted that before the start of the motor 1260, the screw 122 and the roller 124 are located at the starting point of the operation shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. When the motor 1260 of the driving module 126 is activated, the output shaft of the motor 1260 rotates counterclockwise, thereby driving the first gear 1262 to rotate counterclockwise. Then, the first gear 1262 will drive the second gear 1264 to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the screw 122 to rotate clockwise. At this time, the screw 122 will drive the roller 124 to roll clockwise on the roller plate 120, and the roller 124 will rotate clockwise along the screw 122 along the screw 122. Then, the roller 124 reciprocates relative to the fixed rod 136 through the connecting rod base 128 and the pivot 132 to drive the connecting rod 130 in the range of the long slot 1304, thereby driving the water outlet nozzle 134 to generate the arrow A1 as shown in FIG. The vortex movement (for example, from inside to outside).

When the roller 124 triggers the second micro switch 140 as the screw 122 rotates to the end of the operation shown in FIG. 6, the output shaft of the motor 1260 is reversed, that is, clockwise, thereby driving the first gear 1262 clockwise. Turn. Then, the first gear 1262 will drive the second gear 1264 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby driving the screw 122 to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the screw 122 will drive the roller 124 to roll counterclockwise on the roller plate 120, and the roller 124 will rotate counterclockwise with respect to the screw 122 along the thread on the screw 122. Then, the roller 124 reciprocates relative to the fixed rod 136 through the connecting rod base 128 and the pivot 132 to drive the connecting rod 130 in the range of the long slot 1304, thereby driving the water outlet nozzle 134 to generate the arrow A2 as shown in FIG. The vortex movement (for example, from the outside to the inside). When the roller 124 triggers the first microswitch 138 as the screw 122 rotates to the actuating starting point shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the output shaft of the motor 1260 stops actuating.

In the process of generating the vortex motion described above, the water quantity control valve 142 is simultaneously opened, so that the water outlet nozzle 134 can simulate the artificial brewing mode, and the water is vortexed to brew coffee, tea or other beverage, and then brewed out. A delicious coffee, tea or other beverage. It should be noted that the brewing device 1 of the present invention can have a built-in or external water tank, and is connected to the water quantity control valve 142 by a water pipe to supply the amount of water required for brewing.

In summary, when the drive module is activated, the drive module will drive the screw to rotate. At this point, the screw will drive the roller to roll on the roller plate, and the roller will rotate relative to the screw along the thread on the screw. Then, the roller reciprocates relative to the fixed rod through the connecting rod seat and the pivotal driving link in the range of the long groove, thereby driving the water outlet nozzle to generate a vortex motion. In this way, the brewing device of the present invention can simulate the artificial brewing method, and brewing coffee, tea or other beverages by vortexing, thereby brewing delicious coffee, tea or other beverages.
