Embodiment Construction

[0018] exist figure 1 The coffee machine 1 with a housing 3 shown in is used for the automatic production of coffee or coffee-containing beverages as well as mixed beverages consisting of coffee and milk or milk foam. The coffee machine consists of a coffee module for producing coffee (of which only the opening 3' in the housing 3 for mounting this module is shown exactly) and a milk module 2 for preparing milk or milk froth, which can be independent of each other are mounted side by side in the common housing 3 in a space-saving manner. The coffee module 1 itself consists of conventional components and is not explained in detail. On the front side in the housing 3 is only shown a drip container (Abtropfschale) 3'', on which a cup or the like for filling coffee and / or milk or milk froth can be placed.

[0019] The milk module 2 , which can be installed in the housing 3 , is equipped with a cooling box 4 , the cooling chamber 5 of which can accommodate a milk container 6 . T...

Abstract

A milk module (2) for generating milk foam or milk beverages, preferably for installing into a coffee machine, is designed as an independent unit. The milk module (2) comprises a cooling chamber (5) which is connected to a cooling assembly for receiving a milk container (6), a conveyor pump (42), a device for generating the steam, a device (24) for heating milk or for generating the milk foam, anda connection means. The heated milk or the generated milk foam can be conveyed through a discharge line to the coffee outlet in the coffee machine by the connection means. In a very advantageous manner, a cleaning container (14) with a cleaning agent can be positioned into the cooling chamber (5) instead of the milk container (6). For this purpose, a suction tube is provided which is mounted in the region of the refrigerated box (4) in a pivotal manner forwards or rearwards, which hangs freely at the bottom, and which in the forwards-pivoted position can be contactlessly inserted into the milk container (6) or the cleaning container (14) from the top when same is installed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a milk module according to the preamble of claim 1 for producing milk froth or a milk drink, preferably for installation in a coffee machine. Background technique [0002] Coffee machines with integrated modules for generating milk froth or for heating milk are known in various embodiments. It enables the automatic production of not only coffee, such as espresso, but also mixed drinks consisting of coffee and milk or milk foam (in particular cappuccino). [0003] Coffee machines are usually provided with a cleaning device which automatically performs periodic cleaning of the machine during operation. Arranging such a cleaning device in a small coffee machine is structurally difficult because of the limitations in the required space requirement. Contents of the invention [0004] The object of the present invention is to avoid these disadvantages and to provide a coffee machine of the type mentioned at the outset, which is s...
