도 1a 내지 도 1c에 도시된 바와 같이, 종래의 양조기(특허등록 제10-0218815호)는, 커피입자(C)가 수용된 실린더(1)의 하부가 하부피스톤(2)에 의해 폐쇄된 상태에서 구동스핀들(3)에 의해 상부피스톤(4)까지 상승 동작하여 실린더(1)의 커피입자(C)가 압착되고, 이때, 고온 고압의 물이 실린더(1) 내부로 공급되게 되며 이를 통하여 제조된 커피액이 실린더(1)의 외부로 추출된다. 이후, 실린더(1)가 구동스핀들(3)에 의해 하측부의 연결부재(5)까지 하강 동작하게 되고, 이때 하부피스톤(2)의 중공에 연결부재(5)가 삽입되면서 하부피스톤(2)이 실린더(1)의 상방으로 상승하면서 압착된 커피입자(C)를 실린더(1)의 상단 외부로 밀어내게 되고, 이어서 실린더(1)의 회동 가능하게 설치된 방출부(6)가 회동되어 상기 커피입자(C)가 외부로 제거된다. 이후, 실린더(1)가 구동스핀들(3)에 의해 원위치로 상승 동작하게 되고, 이때 상기 방출부(6)는 원위치로 회동하게 되며, 하부피스톤(2)의 중공으로부터 연결부재(5)가 삽입 해제되면서 하부피스톤(2)의 상단부가 실린더(1)의 하부에 위치된 상태를 가지게 된다. As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C, in the conventional brewing machine (Patent Registration No. 10-0218815), the lower part of the cylinder 1 in which the coffee particles C are accommodated is closed by the lower piston 2. At the upper spindle (4) by the drive spindle (3) to move up to the coffee particles (C) of the cylinder (1) is pressed, at this time, the high temperature and high pressure water is supplied into the cylinder (1) and manufactured through this Coffee liquid is extracted to the outside of the cylinder (1). Subsequently, the cylinder 1 moves downward to the connecting member 5 at the lower side by the driving spindle 3. At this time, the lower piston 2 is inserted while the connecting member 5 is inserted into the hollow of the lower piston 2. The coffee particles C, which are pressed upward while moving upward of the cylinder 1, are pushed out of the upper end of the cylinder 1, and then the discharge part 6 rotatably installed in the cylinder 1 is rotated, so that the coffee particles are rotated. (C) is removed to the outside. Thereafter, the cylinder 1 is moved up to its original position by the drive spindles 3, and the discharge part 6 is rotated to the original position, and the connecting member 5 is inserted from the hollow of the lower piston 2. As it is released, the upper end of the lower piston 2 has a state located below the cylinder 1.
그러나 상기와 같은 종래의 양조기는, 상기 실린더(1)에 수용된 커피입자(C)의 압착 및 제거 과정을 위한 구성부 즉, 압착수단의 구성부가 실린더(1), 하부피스톤(2) 및 상부피스톤(4) 이외에도, 상기 실린더(1)에 수용된 커피입자(C)의 압착시 상기 하부피스톤(2)의 상단부가 실린더(1)의 하측부에 위치되도록 하거나 상기 실린더(1)의 압착된 커피입자(C)의 제거시 상기 하부피스톤(2)의 상단부가 실린더(1)의 상측부에 위치되도록 하는 연결부재(5)를 더 포함하고 있기 때문에 그 구성이 복잡하여 조립과정이 매우 불편하고 또한, 이로 인하여 제조비용이 증가되는 문제점이 있다.However, such a conventional brewing machine, the components for the process of pressing and removing the coffee particles (C) accommodated in the cylinder (1), that is, the components of the pressing means cylinder (1), the lower piston (2) and the upper piston In addition to (4), when the coffee particles (C) accommodated in the cylinder 1, the upper end of the lower piston (2) is located in the lower side of the cylinder (1) or the compressed coffee particles of the cylinder (1) Since the upper part of the lower piston (2) further includes a connecting member (5) to be positioned at the upper side of the cylinder (1) when the removal of (C), the configuration is complicated and the assembly process is very inconvenient, Due to this, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost is increased.
또한, 상기 양조기는, 커피입자(C)의 제거시 상기 실린더(1)에 회동 가능하게 설치된 방출부(6)가 회동되어 상기 커피입자(C)가 외부로 제거되도록 하고 있으나, 상기 방출부(6)는 구동스핀들(3)에 의해 실린더(1)의 하강 동작시 구동스핀들(3) 일측에 형성된 회동경로(7)를 따라 이동하다가 회동경로(7)의 하측단을 벗어나는 순간 탄성스프링(미도시) 등과 같은 탄성수단의 탄성력에 의해 자동으로 회동되면서 커피입자(C)를 제거한 후 실린더(1)의 상승시 회동경로(7)의 하측단에 방출부(6)의 레그가 걸림되면서 원상태로 복귀되기 때문에, 반복 사용에 따른 탄성수단의 탄성력 상실시 커피입자(C)의 제거가 깨끗이 이루어지지 않는 문제점이 있다. In addition, the brewing machine, when the coffee particles (C) is removed to rotate the discharge unit (6) rotatably installed in the cylinder (1) to remove the coffee particles (C) to the outside, the discharge unit ( 6 moves along the rotational path 7 formed on one side of the driving spindle 3 by the driving spindle 3 during the lowering operation of the cylinder 1, and then moves out of the lower end of the rotational path 7 to the elastic spring (not shown). After removing the coffee particles (C) while being rotated automatically by the elastic force of the elastic means, such as when the legs of the discharge portion (6) at the lower end of the rotation path (7) when the cylinder (1) ascended to the original state Since it is returned, there is a problem that the removal of the coffee particles (C) lost the elastic force of the elastic means due to repeated use is not made clean.
또한, 상기 양조기는, 상기 실린더(1)의 하부에 하부피스톤(2)이 끼워지고 하부피스톤(2)의 하부 중공에 연결부재(5)가 끼워지는데, 이때 상기 하부피스톤(2)과 연결부재(5)의 외경에는 각각 오링(2a,5a)이 구비되어 각각 실린더(1) 및 하부피스톤(2)의 내경에 밀착되어 하부피스톤(2)이 상승 또는 하강할 때 그 움직임이 제한되도록 하여, 실린더(1)에 커피입자(C)의 수용시 또는 실린더(1)의 상승시에는 하부피스톤(2)의 상단부가 실린더(1)의 하측부에 위치된 상태를 가지도록 하고 실린더(1)로부터 커피입자(C)의 제거를 위한 하강시에는 하부피스톤(2)의 상단부가 실린더(1)의 상측부에 위치된 상태를 가지도록 하고 있다.In addition, the brewing machine, the lower piston (2) is fitted to the lower portion of the cylinder (1) and the connecting member (5) is inserted into the lower hollow of the lower piston (2), wherein the lower piston (2) and the connecting member O-rings (2a, 5a) are respectively provided at the outer diameter of (5) to be in close contact with the inner diameter of the cylinder (1) and the lower piston (2) so that the movement is limited when the lower piston (2) is raised or lowered, When the coffee particles C are accommodated in the cylinder 1 or when the cylinder 1 is raised, the upper end of the lower piston 2 has a state located at the lower side of the cylinder 1, and the coffee from the cylinder 1 At the time of descending for removal of the particles C, the upper end of the lower piston 2 is positioned to have an upper portion of the cylinder 1.
따라서 상기 양조기의 압착수단인 실린더(1), 하부피스톤(2) 및 연결부재(5) 등의 반복 동작에 따라 상기 오링(2a,5a)이 마모되어 정상적인 기능을 가지지 못할 경우, 즉, 하부피스톤(2)의 오링(2a)이 마모되는 경우 실린더(1)에 커피입자(C)의 수용시 또는 실린더(1)의 상승시 하부피스톤(2)의 상단부가 실린더(1)의 하측부에 위치되지 않게 되어 커피입자(C)의 정량 수용이 어려운 문제점과 함께 상부피스톤(4)과의 압착시 갑작스런 하부피스톤(2)의 하강(예를 들면, 실린더(1)의 중앙부에 하부피스톤(2)의 상단부가 위치되었다가 상부피스톤(4)의 압착시 상단부가 실린더(1)의 하측부로 하강하는 경우)으로 인하여 압착 효율이 저하되는 문제점이 있다.Accordingly, when the O- rings 2a and 5a are worn and do not have a normal function according to repeated operations of the cylinder 1, the lower piston 2, and the connecting member 5, which are the pressing means of the brew, that is, the lower When the O-ring 2a of the piston 2 wears, the upper end of the lower piston 2 is placed on the lower side of the cylinder 1 when the coffee particles C are received in the cylinder 1 or when the cylinder 1 is raised. With the problem that it is difficult to quantitatively receive the coffee particles (C), the sudden lowering of the lower piston (2) during compression with the upper piston (4) (for example, the lower piston (2) in the center of the cylinder (1) ) Is located in the upper end portion of the upper piston 4 when the upper end is lowered to the lower side of the cylinder (1) due to the problem that the compression efficiency is lowered.
따라서 본 발명의 목적은 실린더에 수용되는 커피입자를 압착시키는 압착을 위한 구성부가 상/하부피스톤과 실린더로 간단히 구성되도록 할 수 있는 커피머신용 양조기를 제공하는 것이다.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a brew machine for a coffee machine which can be configured to simply press the upper and lower pistons and the cylinder for pressing the coffee particles contained in the cylinder.
