Abstract:
1. A water feeding device of a hot drink maker, wherein the hot drink maker is a heating device for making hot drinks and comprises a water tank having a bottom extended with a water pipe coupled to a showerhead-type water outlet above a brewing chamber, and the water pipe is installed with an electric heating tube for heating tap water, the water feeding device being characterized by comprising: a water temperature sensor installed at an end of the water tank of the hot drink maker; a computer circuit board installed at a predetermined position of the hot drink maker; a tubular inner receptacle having a plurality of turns and formed by the water pipe extending from the bottom of the water tank to the showerhead-type water outlet above the brewing chamber, the electric heating tube being installed at an inner periphery of and extending in accordance with the tubular inner receptacle; and a motor installed at a section of the water pipe between the water tank and the tubular inner receptacle; wherein when the hot drink maker is used for infusing ground coffee, the water temperature sensor senses a water temperature in the water tank and sends a sensing result to the computer circuit board where the sensing result is converted into a delay time by which the motor is to be delayed from being started to push out heated water, and tap water in the water tank flows by itself into the tubular inner receptacle so as to be heated by the electric heating tube to a predetermined temperature and, after the motor is delayed by the previously set delay time, is pushed by the motor into an inlet of the brewing chamber smoothly and completely so that ground coffee in the brewing chamber is infused by the liquid-state heated water of the predetermined temperature to make a hot drink with a desirable taste.
