That is, the drip coffee body 200 is injected as an integrated piece and forms a circular cup space portion so that the cup 700 can be sufficiently placed upward from both sides of the cup holder 220, and the cup space portion is A semicircular cutout 230 is formed so that the mold can enter and exit from the front.

In addition, a horizontal support part 240 is formed at the upper part of the cup space, and a hanging frame at the top of the coffee storage container 300 in which the coffee powder is stored together with the filter 400 from front to back on both sides of the horizontal support part 240. Installation grooves 241 are formed opposite each other so that (320) can be caught. It is important that the installation grooves 241 are formed so that the mold can enter and exit forward and backward, and the inside of the installation grooves 241 is made of silicone material. It is preferable that an elastic member (not shown) is formed so that the coffee storage container 300 is in stable and close contact with external shocks.

At this time, it is desirable to form a handle 310 on one side of the coffee powder storage container 300 to facilitate entry and exit.

In addition, a support part 242 of a certain height is formed on both sides of the upper part of the horizontal support part 240 so that the mold can enter and exit forward and backward, and a water drip container 500 is attached and detachable from the center of the horizontal support part 240 to the top. A first container mounting pipe portion 250 having a cylindrical shape is formed to be capable of communicating up and down, and on the upper part of the support portion 242, a second portion is provided that communicates with the first container mounting pipe portion 250 and allows the mold to enter and exit up and down. A container mounting pipe portion 260 is formed, and a locking protrusion 261 is provided on the inner periphery of the second container mounting pipe portion 260 so that the locking ring body 610 of the water discharge container 600 can be stably supported. Formed everywhere.

An opening/closing lid 270 that is opened and closed by a hinge portion 271 on one side is formed at the open upper end of the second container mounting pipe portion 260.

Meanwhile, the water drip container 500 is formed with a locking protrusion 510 on the outside of the top that catches the upper end of the first container mounting pipe portion 250, and as shown in FIG. 2, there are a plurality of hooks at the bottom of the water drip container 500. Drip micropores 530 are formed, and a plurality of water discharge extensions 520 corresponding to them are formed at the bottom of the drip micropores 530, and inside the lower end of the water discharge extensions 520 An expansion portion 521 whose inner diameter expands downward is formed to minimize the surface tension of the water droplet.

When explaining the effects of the drip coffee device of the present invention configured as above,

1 and 3, when explaining the combination of the drip coffee device, the water drip container 500 is first mounted through the second container mounting pipe portion 260 of the drip coffee body 200. At this time, the water drip container 500 is installed. The locking protrusion 510 of 500 is mounted by being caught on the upper end of the first container mounting pipe portion 250.

Then, the water discharge container 600 is inserted into the second container mounting pipe portion 260. At this time, the locking ring body 610 of the water discharge container 600 is connected to the locking jaw of the second container mounting pipe portion 260. 261) is mounted stably.

Then, the filter 400 is brought into close contact with the inside of the coffee powder storage container 300, and an appropriate amount of coffee is dropped into the coffee powder storage container 300. Then, the coffee powder storage container is placed in the installation groove 241 of the horizontal support 240. Just insert the locking frame 320 of 300 horizontally. In other words, if you want to extract multiple cups of coffee, the coffee powder storage container 300 can be pulled forward from the installation groove 241 of the horizontal support part 240, so the water drip container 500 can be removed from the drip coffee body 200 as in the prior art. ) and the water discharge container 600 do not need to be separated, making coffee extraction very easy.

When the drip coffee device is combined as described above, appropriately heated hot water is introduced into the water discharge container 600 installed at the top as shown in FIG. 3, and the hot water introduced into the water discharge container 600 is discharged through its discharge hole 630. ) is discharged to the water drip container 500. At this time, the amount of hot water discharged downward through the entire drip micropores 530 of the water drip container 500 is less than that of the discharge hole 630, so the water drip container ( A certain amount of hot water is stored in 500), and the hot water is uniformly discharged into the drip micropores 530 by the gravity of the stored hot water.

At the same time, the hot water discharged through the drip micropore 530 is discharged to the water discharge extension 520 formed directly below it. At this time, the inside of the lower end of the water discharge extension 520 has an extension whose inner diameter expands downward. Since the portion 521 is formed, the phenomenon of water droplets sticking to the bottom of the water discharge extension portion 520 due to surface tension is minimized, thereby creating uniform water droplets, and these uniform water droplets are stored in the coffee powder storage container 300. By moistening the powder evenly, even unskilled people can maintain the flavor of coffee consistently.

However, in the conventional drip coffee device configured as above, the coffee powder storage container 300, the water drip container 500, and the water discharge container 600, which are in contact with high-temperature hot water, are all made of resin material. Not only did the injected hot water cool quickly, greatly deteriorating the taste of the coffee, but there were also problems such as causing health problems by mixing various harmful substances such as phthalates into the drip coffee as the hot water came into contact with the resin material. An attempt was made to use pottery that has very low heat conduction and can be used by heating the storage container 300, the water drip container 500, and the water discharge container 600, but among these, the drip micropores 530 of the water drip container 500 Although all of these should have the same diameter, the diameter changes as the pottery expands and contracts during the firing process, causing problems such as extremely deteriorating the taste of the coffee due to irregularly falling water droplets.

This is a partial schematic diagram showing different manufacturing methods for the drip container of the drip coffee device.

If the drip coffee device is roughly divided, a cup holder 220 is formed at the bottom of the drip coffee body 200 to stably store the cup storing the extracted coffee, and the cup holder 220 of the drip coffee body 200 is formed. (220) A coffee powder storage container 300, a water drip container 500, and a water discharge container 600 are sequentially installed in the upper part.

The drip coffee body 200 has a cup holder 220 formed at the bottom to stably store the cup storing the extracted coffee, and the cup can be sufficiently placed upward from both sides of the cup holder 220. In addition to the circular cup space being formed laterally, a horizontal support part 240 is formed on the upper part of the cup space part, and a support part of a certain height so that the mold can enter and exit forward and backward on both sides of the upper part of the horizontal support part 240 ( 242) is formed.

In addition, a cylindrical first container mounting pipe portion 250 is formed from the center to the top of the horizontal support portion 240 to communicate vertically, and installation grooves 241 are formed from front to back on both sides of the horizontal support portion 240. A second container mounting pipe portion 260 is formed on the upper part of the support portion 242 to communicate with the first container mounting pipe portion 250 and allow the mold to move up and down.

The coffee storage container 300 installed directly above the cup holder 220 of the drip coffee body 200 has a paper filter 400 containing ground coffee powder in the installation groove 241 of the horizontal support part 240. It is installed so that it can be slid and detached laterally in the built-in state, and a rather large opening 330 is formed so that coffee extracted in the direction of the cup holder 220 can pass through and fall into the cup.

Here, the coffee storage container 300 is made of pottery to prevent high-temperature hot water from cooling quickly. First, a lump of pottery clay in an emulsion state is put into a mold to form the shape, and then it is heated in a kiln at 1200 degrees. After first firing at 1300 degrees, glaze is applied to the inner and outer surfaces of the fired coffee storage container 300 and then completed through secondary firing at 1200 to 1300 degrees in a kiln.

The water drip container 500 installed directly above the coffee storage container 300 installed on the drip coffee body 200 is installed on the locking protrusion of the first container mounting pipe portion 250, and has a plurality of 0.6 to 0.7 mm. Drip micropores 530 are formed on the bottom surface, and a plurality of water discharge extensions 520 corresponding to them are formed at the bottom of the drip micropores 530, and the bottom of the water discharge extension portion 520 An expansion portion 521 whose inner diameter expands downward is formed on the inner side.

At this time, the water drip container 500 is also made of pottery to prevent the high temperature hot water from cooling quickly. First, a lump of pottery clay in an emulsion state is put into a mold and the shape is formed, as shown in FIG. 4. Likewise, the drip micropores are initially drilled alternately from the upper and lower directions using the plurality of drilling needles 910 of the jig device 900.

That is, the molded water drip container 500 is perforated from the top to its inner bottom surface with a perforating needle 910 to form a drip micropore 530 of 0.6 to 0.7 mm, and then the water drip container 500 is formed. The inner periphery of the drip micropore 530 is smoothed by passing the perforating needle 910 through the previously perforated drip micropore 530 in the lower part of the . At this time, the inner diameter of the drip micropore 530 may be 0.6 to 0.7 mm depending on whether the temperature of the kiln is 1200 degrees or 1300 degrees.

At this time, even if the drip micropore 530 of the water drip container 500 is perforated with the perforation needle 910, the inner diameter may not be constant, so the worker performs a secondary perforation using the perforation needle 910 to remove the drip. The inner periphery of the micropore 530 can be arranged more smoothly.

Meanwhile, the jig device 900 is equipped with a micro-vibration means, and this vibration generates micro-vibration in the plurality of punching needles 910, so that when the punching needles 910 are separated, the dirt of the drip micropores 530 is buried together. It is desirable not only to prevent it from coming out, but also to smooth the inner periphery of the drip micropores 530.

Then, the secondary perforated molding is placed in a kiln and fired first at between 1,200 and 1,300 degrees, and then glaze is applied and fired for the second time.

The water discharge container 600 located directly above the water drip container 500 is stably attached to the stopper of the inner periphery of the second container mounting pipe portion 260 and drops a certain amount of water into the water drip container 500. A discharge hole 630 is formed on the bottom surface to allow this.

At this time, the water discharge container 600 is also made of pottery to prevent the high-temperature hot water from cooling quickly. First, a lump of pottery clay in an emulsion state is put into a mold to shape the shape, and then the first firing is performed in a kiln. Then, glaze is applied to the inside and outside and a second firing is completed.

As described above, the water discharge container 600, the water drip container 500, and the coffee storage container 300, which are sequentially in contact with high-temperature hot water from top to bottom, are made of ceramics, so that a large amount of hot water radiates from the ceramic. By allowing it to come into contact with far-infrared rays, contact with resin materials, which are hazardous substances, can be completely prevented.

For reference, far-infrared ray is an electromagnetic wave that falls between 40 and 1,000㎛, as proven by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and activates water molecules to be easily absorbed into the body and promotes metabolism. It is known to have properties that smoothen all physiological functions.

These far-infrared rays are emitted from all materials above absolute temperature, and certain minerals with a much higher emission of far-infrared rays than other materials under the same conditions are usually referred to as far-infrared ray emitters.

As such far-infrared ray emitters, representative materials such as earthenware, jade, elvan stone, guiyang stone, and tourmaline are well known. In addition, transition metal oxides are known to have high far-infrared radiation efficiency.

Far-infrared rays have high energy efficiency because energy is transmitted by radiation. As a result of long-term research, it is known that far-infrared rays have beneficial effects on the human body, and far-infrared rays are used in a variety of fields, from household goods to building materials and medical purposes.

Thermal action, which is the main effect of far-infrared rays, is known to help eliminate bacteria that cause various diseases, and to expand capillaries to help blood circulation and cell tissue production, as well as moisture and proteins that make up cells. It is known to be effective in preventing aging, promoting metabolism, and preventing various adult diseases such as chronic fatigue by activating cell tissue by shaking the cells finely 2,000 times per minute when it comes in contact with the molecule.

In addition, far-infrared rays have effects such as promoting sweating, relieving pain, removing heavy metals, providing good sleep, deodorizing, antibacterial, preventing mold growth, dehumidifying, and air purifying, and are used in housing and construction materials, kitchen utensils, textiles, clothing, bedding, and medical devices. It is used in various fields such as jjimjilbang, but it is known that it is not currently applied to coffee.

Meanwhile, effective microorganisms (EM: Effective Microorganisms) use microorganisms related to the fermentation of food, such as yeast, lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and photosynthetic bacteria, to improve antioxidant function and also achieve an anti-corruption effect. It is a complex that combines useful microorganisms such as photosynthetic bacteria and Aspergillus bacteria to coexist. If you look at the efficacy of each microorganism, lactic acid bacteria are a type of bacteria in the taxonomy that convert sugar into lactic acid and coexist relatively well with other microorganisms. Not only is it helpful for human health due to its symbiotic properties, but it is also known to have intestinal action, immune function improvement, anti-tumor properties, cholesterol suppression, and blood pressure regulation, as well as suppressing harmful bacteria and proliferating good bacteria. However, it is not applied to coffee.

The operational effects of the drip coffee device of the present invention configured as described above are explained as follows.

1 and 3, when explaining the combination of the drip coffee device of the present invention, the water drip container 500 is first mounted through the second container mounting pipe portion 260 of the drip coffee body 200. At this time, the water The locking protrusion 510 of the drip container 500 is mounted by being caught on the upper end of the first container mounting pipe portion 250.

Then, the filter 400 is brought into close contact with the inside of the coffee powder storage container 300, and an appropriate amount of coffee is dropped into the coffee powder storage container 300. Then, the coffee powder storage container is placed in the installation groove 241 of the horizontal support 240. Just insert the locking frame 320 of 300 horizontally.

In other words, if you want to extract multiple cups of coffee, the coffee powder storage container 300 can be pulled forward from the installation groove 241 of the horizontal support part 240, so the water drip container 500 can be removed from the drip coffee body 200 as in the prior art. ) and the water discharge container 600 do not need to be separated, making coffee extraction very easy.

When the drip coffee device is combined as described above, appropriately heated hot water is introduced into the water discharge container 600 installed at the top as shown in Figure 2. At this time, since the water discharge container 600 is made of ceramics, this From there, a large amount of far-infrared rays are emitted and mixed with hot water.

The hot water introduced into the water discharge container 600 is discharged into the water drip container 500 through its discharge hole 630. At this time, the entire drip micropores 530 of the water drip container 500 are larger than the discharge hole 630. Since the amount of hot water discharged downward through ) is small, a certain amount of hot water is stored in the water drip container 500, and the hot water is uniformly discharged into the drip micropores 530 by the gravity of the hot water stored in this way.

At this time as well, since the water drip container 500 is made of ceramics, a large amount of far-infrared rays are further mixed with the hot water already mixed with far-infrared rays as it passes through the water discharge container 600.

The water that falls from the drip container (500) falls drop by drop into the coffee storage container (300) containing the coffee and wets the coffee, creating drip coffee. In this case, too, the coffee storage container (300) is made of ceramics. Because it is manufactured, the taste of drip coffee can be greatly enriched by supplying more far-infrared rays to hot water containing a large amount of far-infrared rays through the water discharge container 600 and the water drip container 500.

In addition, if the water discharge container 600, the water drip container 500, and the coffee storage container 300 are warmed before dripping and then installed in the drip coffee device, an even better effect can be seen.
