Description

Technical Field

[0001] Some embodiments of this utility model relate to a stirring device, specifically a paddle assembly, a milk foam generating device, and a milk frother. Background Technology

[0002] A milk frother uses a device that circulates and agitates liquid milk in various storage containers. The device continuously agitates the liquid milk in the storage container, and continuously filters, cuts, and heats the liquid milk during agitation, thus producing milk foam.

[0003] Currently, milk frothers typically position themselves in the liquid container by interlocking a pin assembly within the cup with a positioning hole on the paddle assembly. However, the inventors discovered that the small diameter of the positioning hole makes alignment between the pin assembly and the paddle assembly extremely difficult, hindering installation. This prevents blind operation, especially when liquid milk is poured into the cup first, completely submerging the pin assembly and making installation even more inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to design a paddle assembly, a milk foam generating device, and a milk frother that can quickly install the milk foam generating device in a liquid storage container without affecting the milk foam generating device's performance in foaming liquid milk.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, some embodiments of the present invention provide a blade assembly, the blade assembly comprising: The paddle component is rotatably mounted within the turbulence-generating component of the milk frothing device; A positioning module is disposed on the paddle component. When the turbulence component is positioned at the target position inside the liquid storage container of the milk frother, it is magnetically coupled with the drive component of the milk frother, so that the drive component can directly drive the paddle component to rotate, agitate the liquid milk in the liquid storage container, and make the liquid milk circulate.

[0006] In addition, some embodiments of this utility model also provide a milk foam generating device, the milk foam generating device comprising: A flow-dispersing component is detachably installed inside the liquid storage container of a milk frother; the flow-dispersing component includes: a flow-dispersing part and a second magnetic module disposed on the flow-dispersing part; wherein, the second magnetic module is magnetically fixed to the base of the milk frother, so that the flow-dispersing part is positioned at a target position inside the liquid storage container; The blade assembly described above is rotatably disposed within the turbulence-inducing component; the blade assembly is used to agitate the liquid milk in the storage container when rotating; A filter screen is disposed within the cavity.

[0007] In addition, some embodiments of this utility model also provide a milk frother, including: The outer shell is not closed along a predetermined axis, forming a receiving space with an opening; The base is disposed within the receiving space of the outer casing; A drive assembly is disposed within the base along the preset axis direction; A liquid storage container is detachably disposed within the receiving space of the outer shell and supported on the base; The milk foam generating device described above is used to be placed inside the liquid storage container; wherein, the positioning module is magnetically fixed to the third magnetic module to position the turbulence-generating component at a target position inside the liquid storage container; The positioning module is used to couple with the drive assembly when the turbulence component is positioned at the target location within the liquid storage container, so that the drive assembly can drive the blade component to rotate.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this utility model include a paddle assembly comprising a paddle component and a positioning module, with the positioning module disposed on the paddle component. This positioning module is used to position the turbulence-disrupting component at a target position within the milk frother's storage container, and can be coupled with the milk frother's drive assembly. Therefore, it is easy to see that the installation of the paddle component within the storage container can be directly achieved through the coupling between the positioning module and the drive assembly. Thus, while agitating the liquid milk within the storage container without affecting the rotational performance of the paddle component, the alignment step within the storage container is eliminated when installing the milk frothing device. This allows for blind operation during the installation of the milk frothing device, enabling rapid installation within the storage container without affecting the milk frothing of the liquid milk.

[0010] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the various embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that many technical details have been presented in the various embodiments of this utility model to enable the reader to better understand this application. However, the technical solutions claimed in this application can be implemented even without these technical details and with various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments.

[0011] Example 1 The first embodiment of this utility model relates to a blade assembly, such as... Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the blade assembly 1 includes: blade component 13 and positioning module 12.

[0012] Among them, combined Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 11 As shown, the paddle component 13 is rotatably disposed within the liquid storage container 7 of the turbulence generating device 21, while the positioning module 12 is disposed on the paddle component 13. When the turbulence generating device 21 is positioned at the target position within the liquid storage container 7 of the milk frother, the positioning module 12 is coupled with the drive component 4 of the milk frother, so that the drive component 4 directly drives the paddle component 13 to rotate, stirring the liquid milk contained in the liquid storage container 7, so that the liquid milk circulates.

[0013] It is easy to see from the above that since the paddle assembly 1 includes a paddle component 13 and a positioning module 12, and the positioning module 12 is disposed on the paddle component 13, and the positioning module 12 is used to position the turbulence component 21 at the target position in the liquid storage container 7 of the milk frother, it can be coupled with the drive component of the milk frother. It is easy to see that the installation of the paddle component 13 in the liquid storage container 7 can be directly achieved by the coupling of the positioning module 12 with the drive component 4. Therefore, without affecting the rotation performance of the paddle component 13, the alignment step in the liquid storage container 7 can be eliminated when installing the milk frothing device into the liquid storage container 7. The installation of the milk frothing device can be blindly operated, so that the milk frothing device can be quickly installed in the liquid storage container 7 without affecting the milk frothing of liquid milk.

[0014] Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the positioning module 12 may employ a first magnetic attraction module, which may include at least one first magnetic component 121. When one first magnetic component 121 is provided, it is a ring-shaped structure formed around the axis of the blade component 13. When multiple first magnetic components 121 are provided, each first magnetic component 121 may be equidistantly arranged around the axis of the blade component 13, and the polarities of any two adjacent first magnetic components 121 are opposite. For example, in some embodiments, such as... Figure 2 As shown, there are four first magnetic components 121, which are equidistantly arranged in a ring around the axis of the blade component 13. The polarities of any two adjacent first magnetic components 121 are opposite, such that the angular difference between any two adjacent first magnetic components 121 is 45 degrees. Corresponding to the four first magnetic components 121, as... Figure 2 As shown, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the drive assembly 4 includes: a drive element 41, a turntable 422 coaxially connected to the main shaft of the drive element 41, and four third magnetic components 421 distributed on the turntable 422. The turntable 422 and the four third magnetic components 421 together constitute a third magnetic attraction module 42. The four third magnetic components 421 are equidistantly arranged around the axis of the turntable 422, and the polarities of each pair of adjacent third magnetic components 421 are opposite. Thus, when the first magnetic components 121 on the blade component 13 can automatically magnetically couple with the third magnetic components 421 on the drive assembly 4, such as... Figure 5 As shown, this allows the drive component 4 to drive the paddle component 13 to rotate according to the corresponding instructions, thereby agitating the liquid milk.

[0015] Furthermore, in order to enable the positioning module 12 to be mounted on the blade component 13, in other embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the blade component 13 includes: a body 132 having at least one blade 131 and a shaft 133, and is coupled with Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the shaft 133 is rotatably connected to the spoiler component 21, allowing the blade component 13 as a whole to rotate relative to the spoiler component 21. Additionally, as... Figure 6 As shown, the body 132 has a top side 1321 and a bottom side 1322 opposite to the top side along its axial direction. The shaft 133 protrudes from the top side 1321 of the body 132, while the bottom side 1322 is provided with a cavity 135. Each of the first magnetic components 121 of the positioning module 12 is disposed in the cavity 135. As can be seen from the above, since the positioning module 12 includes four first magnetic components 121, four snap-fit ​​parts (not shown in the figure) can be provided in the cavity 135. The four snap-fit ​​parts can be used to snap and fix the four first magnetic components 121 respectively, so that each first magnetic component 121 can be better fixed in the cavity 135. Thus, when the blade component 13 is magnetically coupled to the drive component 4 through the positioning module 12, the blade component 13 can rotate under the drive of the drive component 4, thereby agitating the liquid milk in the storage container 7 and circulating it.

[0016] Additionally, it is worth mentioning that, in order to enable the paddle component 13 to achieve a axial thrust effect on the liquid milk during rotation, in some other embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the top side 1321 of the body 132 of the paddle component 13 is provided with a plurality of guide grooves 1323 around its circumference, and a paddle 131 is formed between any two adjacent guide grooves 1323. At the same time, along the circumference of the body 132, each paddle 131 has a guide surface 1311, and the guide surface 1311 of each paddle 131 is an arc surface or an inclined surface, so that when the paddle component 13 rotates, the liquid milk can be stirred and circulated by means of the guide surface 1311 of each paddle 131. It is evident that since each blade 131 is naturally formed by providing several guide grooves 1323 on the top side 1321 of the body 132, each blade 131 and the body 132 are integrally formed. This not only improves the connection strength between the blade 131 and the body 132, but also facilitates the processing of the blade 131 without affecting the axial thrust performance of the blade component 13, thereby effectively reducing the processing cost of the blade component 13. Of course, in other embodiments, the blade 131 can also protrude radially from the body 132. In this way, the blade component 13 can also agitate the liquid milk along its axial direction when rotating, causing the liquid milk to circulate within the storage container 7.

[0017] Example 2 Embodiment 1 of this utility model relates to a milk foam generating device, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the milk foam generating device includes: a turbulence component 2, a paddle assembly 1 as described in Embodiment 1, and a filter screen 6.

[0018] Among them, such as Figure 11 As shown, the turbulence-disrupting component 2 is detachably installed inside the liquid storage container 7 of the milk frother, and, as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the turbulence-disrupting component 2 is detachably installed inside the liquid storage container 7 of the milk frother, and the turbulence-disrupting component 2 includes: a turbulence-disrupting part 21 and a second magnetic module 22 installed on the turbulence-disrupting part 21. The second magnetic module 22 is magnetically fixed to the base 3 of the milk frother, so that the turbulence-disrupting part 21 can be positioned at a target position inside the liquid storage container 7.

[0019] Secondly, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the blade component 13 is rotatably disposed within the turbulence-disrupting component 21, and the blade component 13 is rotatable relative to the turbulence-disrupting component 21 about a preset axis. Furthermore, the blade component 13 is used to agitate the liquid milk contained in the liquid storage container 7 when rotating, so that the liquid milk circulates within the liquid storage container 7.

[0020] Finally, as Figure 6 As shown, the filter screen 6 is disposed inside the turbulence-disrupting component 21. The filter screen 6 is used to filter and cut the liquid milk during the circulating flow, so that the liquid milk produces milk foam.

[0021] As can be seen from the above, the second magnetic module 22 can be magnetically fixed to the base 3 of the milk frother when the milk frothing device is placed in the liquid storage container 7 of the milk frother. This allows the turbulence-generating component 21 of the milk frothing device to be positioned at the target position in the liquid storage container 7. The positioning module 12 can couple with the drive component 4 when the turbulence-generating component 21 is positioned at the target position in the liquid storage container 7, so that the drive component 4 can drive the paddle component 1 to rotate. Therefore, the installation of the milk frothing device can eliminate the step of alignment with the base 3, thus enabling blind operation of the installation of the milk frothing device. While not affecting the milk frothing device's ability to froth liquid milk, it also enables the rapid installation of the milk frothing device in the liquid storage container 7.

[0022] Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the turbulence-disrupting component 21 includes: a housing 216, at least one flange 217, and at least one turbulence-disrupting plate 218. The housing 216 includes: a top plate 2161 and a side wall 2162 circumferentially arranged around the top plate 2161. The side wall 2162 forms a cavity 2167 on the top plate 2161, allowing the paddle assembly 1 and the filter screen 6 to be disposed within the cavity 2167. Simultaneously, the paddle assembly 1 can rotate relative to the turbulence-disrupting component 21. Furthermore, the top plate 2161 has at least one liquid inlet 2165, and the side wall 2162 has at least one liquid outlet 2166, allowing the liquid milk to circulate between the inlets 2165 and outlets 2166 during the agitation process by the paddle assembly 1.

[0023] Additionally, in other embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, each flange 217 protrudes from the outer surface of the sidewall 2162 toward the inner surface away from the sidewall 2162, so that each flange 217 can be fixedly connected to the second magnetic module 22. For example, when the second magnetic module 22 includes multiple second magnetic components 221, such as... Figure 2 As shown, for each second magnetic component 221, multiple flange portions 217 may be provided, and each flange portion 217 may be equidistantly arranged around the outer surface of the sidewall 2162. Simultaneously, each flange portion 217 has a mounting groove (not shown in the figure) on the side away from the top plate 2161, i.e., a mounting groove is provided on the bottom side of each flange portion, so that each second magnetic component 221 of the second magnetic module 22 can be embedded in the mounting groove of each flange portion 217, thereby realizing the installation of the second magnetic module 22 on the turbulence component 21. Of course, in other embodiments, only one flange portion 217 may be provided. When only one flange portion 217 is provided, it is a ring-shaped structure protruding from the outer surface of the sidewall 2162. In this case, the side of the flange portion 217 away from the top plate 2161 can be provided with a corresponding number of mounting grooves (not shown in the figure) according to the number of second magnetic components 221, and each mounting groove can also satisfy the embedding and installation of each second magnetic component 221. Furthermore, it should be noted that the number of mounting slots provided on the flange portion 217 is only described as being the same as the number of second magnetic components 221. In other embodiments, the number of mounting slots may be less than the number of second magnetic components 221, so that any mounting slot can satisfy the embedding and installation of multiple second magnetic components 221. In this embodiment, the structure of the flange portion 217 and the number of mounting slots are not specifically limited.

[0024] Furthermore, in other embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, each baffle 218 is disposed on the housing 216 and protrudes from the outer surface of the side wall 2162. Each baffle 218 is used to guide the liquid milk toward the inlet 2165 when the liquid milk circulates in the storage container 7, so that the liquid milk can continuously circulate between each inlet 2165 and each outlet 2166.

[0025] Finally, when multiple inlet ports 2165, outlet ports 2166, and baffles 218 are provided, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each inlet 2165, each outlet 2166, and each baffle 218 are equidistantly arranged around the axis of the housing 216. Therefore, when the paddle component 13 rotates and agitates the liquid milk to circulate in the storage container 7, the liquid milk can flow towards the top plate 2161 of the housing 216 under the guidance of each baffle 218. This allows the liquid milk to enter the cavity 2167 through each inlet 2165 set on the top plate 2161, and after being filtered and cut by the filter screen 6 to produce milk foam, it flows out from each outlet 2166 and circulates continuously, so that dense milk foam can be produced in the liquid milk, thus completing the production of milk foam.

[0026] Additionally, when the liquid milk circulates within the storage container 7, in order to guide the liquid milk using the baffles 218, in some other embodiments, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, each baffle 218 includes: a head 2181 adjacent to any one of the outlets 2166, a root 2182 protruding from the top plate 2161 and away from the side of each flange 217, and a guide side 2183 on the side of each baffle 218 facing the direction of the liquid milk flow. The direction of this guide side 2183 from the head 2181 to the root 2182 is either a slope or a concave arc surface. Therefore, this guide side 2183 can effectively guide the liquid milk in the circulating flow state towards the inlet 2165. Furthermore, in order to better guide the liquid milk in the circulating flow state, as a preferred embodiment, in some other embodiments, the number of baffles 218 is the same as the number of inlets 2165, for example, as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each of the three baffles 218 and liquid inlets 2165 can be provided, and each baffle 218 and each liquid inlet 2165 can be equidistantly arranged around a preset axis. Furthermore, when viewed from above the top plate 2161, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, an inlet 2165 can be provided between every two adjacent baffles 218. Therefore, when the liquid milk is agitated and circulated by the paddle component 13, when the liquid milk impacts the guide side 2183 of any baffle 218, it combines with... Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, liquid milk can pass over the top plate 2161 along the guide side 2183 of the baffle 218 and directly enter the cavity 2167 through the liquid inlet 2165 located adjacent to the guide side 2183 of the baffle 218.

[0027] Furthermore, it is worth noting that in some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in order to ensure the stability of the blade component 13 during rotation, the top plate 2161 of the turbulence component 21 is provided with a sleeve 2163 that can be inserted into the shaft body 133 along the preset axial direction. The inner wall of the sleeve 2163 has a portion protruding around its circumference to form several lower protrusions 2164. The shaft body 133 has a portion protruding around its circumference corresponding to each lower protrusion 2164 to form an upper protrusion 136 that engages with each lower protrusion 2164. Therefore, the shaft body 133 can be confined within the cavity 2167 of the turbulence component 21 by using the engagement of the upper protrusion 136 and each lower protrusion 2164 along its axial direction. This allows the blade component 13 to rotate within the cavity 2167 of the turbulence component 21 under the drive of the drive assembly 4, so as to achieve the purpose of axially agitating the liquid milk and making it circulate in the liquid storage container 7.

[0028] Furthermore, since the paddle component 13 cannot escape the cavity 2167 of the turbulence-disrupting component 21 along its axial direction, the turbulence-disrupting component 21, after magnetically attracting the base 3 of the milk frother, is as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the paddle component 13 can rotate slightly around its own axis by relying on the polarity relationship between the four first magnetic components 121 of the positioning module 12 and the four fourth magnetic components 321 on the base 3, thereby automatically completing magnetic coupling with the drive component 4. Simultaneously, since the paddle component 13 is located within the cavity 2167 of the turbulence-generating component 21, it can perfectly integrate into the turbulence-generating component 21 without affecting the agitation of the liquid milk within the storage container 7. This effectively reduces the overall height of the milk frothing device, resulting in a lower center of gravity. Consequently, the milk frothing device is less prone to generating large radial forces due to the rotation of the paddle component 13, preventing it from detaching from its target position within the storage container 7 during operation. This improves the stability and reliability of the milk frothing device during operation.

[0029] Additionally, as a preferred embodiment, in other embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the turbulence-disrupting component 21 also includes a gripping part 2168, which protrudes from the side of the sleeve 2163 away from the top plate 2161. The gripping part 2168 allows the user to easily lift the milk frothing device into the liquid storage container 7, and also facilitates the user to easily remove the entire milk frothing device from the liquid storage container 7, thereby further improving the practicality of the milk frothing device. It should be noted that the gripping part 2168 in the above embodiment is only an example of the sleeve 2163 protruding in a direction away from the top plate 2161. In other embodiments, the sleeve 2163 can also be lengthened to allow the user to directly lift the sleeve 2163 to place and remove the milk frothing device from the liquid storage container 7.

[0030] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second magnetic module 22 includes at least one second magnetic component 221. When there is only one second magnetic component 221, it is an annular structure formed around the circumference of the flow-deflecting component 21. When there are multiple second magnetic components 221, such as... Figure 2 As shown, each of the second magnetic components 221 is equidistantly arranged in a ring around the circumference of the turbulence-disrupting component 21, and the polarities of any two adjacent second magnetic components 221 are opposite. For example, as... Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, three second magnetic components 221 are provided, and the three second magnetic components 221 are arranged equidistantly around the circumference of the turbulence-disrupting component 21, such that the angular difference between any two adjacent second magnetic components 221 is 120 degrees. The three second magnetic components 221 are combined with... Figure 3 As shown, the base 3 of the milk frother includes: a base body 31, and a fourth magnetic module 32 composed of multiple fourth magnetic components 321 disposed on the base body 31. Each fourth magnetic component 321 is equidistantly arranged around the axis of the drive assembly 4, and the polarities of any two adjacent fourth magnetic components 321 are opposite. For example, ... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there are twelve fourth magnetic components 321, such that the angle difference between any two adjacent fourth magnetic components 321 is 30 degrees. Therefore, no matter what angle the milk frothing device is placed in the liquid storage container 7, the turbulence-generating component 21 of the milk frothing device can be magnetically attracted to three of the fourth magnetic components 321 on the base body 31 by means of the three second magnetic components 221, so that the turbulence-generating component 21 can be positioned at the target position in the liquid storage container 7, thereby completing the installation of the milk frothing device in the liquid storage container 7.

[0031] Furthermore, it should be noted that in some embodiments, each of the first magnetic components 121, each of the second magnetic components 221, each of the third magnetic components 421, and each of the fourth magnetic components 321 can be made of strong magnets. This allows the milk frothing device to be positioned at the target location within the liquid storage container 7 when it is placed in the liquid storage container 7. This is achieved through the mutual magnetic attraction between the first magnetic components 121 and the third magnetic components 421, as well as between the second magnetic components 221 and the fourth magnetic components 321. In addition, the driving component 4 can be magnetically coupled with the paddle component 13 of the milk frothing device. Therefore, the driving component 4 can drive the paddle component 13 to rotate according to the received instructions, thereby achieving the frothing of liquid milk. Furthermore, it is worth noting that since the milk frothing device is installed in the liquid storage container 7 directly through magnetic attraction, the step of aligning the milk frothing device is eliminated. Therefore, while facilitating the installation of the milk frothing device in the liquid storage container 7, it also allows for blind operation. For example, if the liquid storage container 7 already contains liquid milk before the user places the milk frothing device into it, the positioning module 12 and the second magnetic attraction module 22 can be used to magnetically attract the third magnetic attraction module 42 and the fourth magnetic attraction module 32, respectively, to position the milk frothing device in the target position within the liquid storage container 7 containing liquid milk.

[0032] Example 3 Embodiment 3 of the present invention relates to a milk frother, such as... Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the milk frother includes: a shell 5, a base 3, a drive assembly 4, a liquid storage container 7, and a milk frothing device as described in Embodiment 2.

[0033] Among them, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the outer shell 5 is not closed along the predetermined axis, forming a receiving space with an opening 51 (not shown in the figure). Secondly, combined with... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the base 3 is disposed within the receiving space of the outer casing 5.

[0034] In addition, such as Figure 6 As shown, the drive assembly 4 is disposed within the base 3 along a preset axis. Furthermore, as... Figure 3 As shown, the liquid storage container 7 is detachably disposed within the receiving space of the outer casing 5, and the liquid storage container 7 is supported on the base 3. Finally, as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the milk foam generator is placed inside the liquid storage container 7, wherein, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the second magnetic module 22 is magnetically fixed to the base 3, positioning the turbulence-disrupting component 21 at the target position within the liquid storage container 7. The positioning module 12, when the turbulence-disrupting component 21 is positioned at the target position within the liquid storage container 7, couples with the drive assembly 4, allowing the drive assembly 4 to drive the paddle component 13 to rotate.

[0035] As can be seen from the above, when the milk frothing device is placed in the liquid storage container 7, the second magnetic module 22 of the milk frothing device and the fourth magnetic module 42 on the base 3 can magnetically attract the milk frothing device to the target position in the liquid storage container 7. At the same time, when the milk frothing device is positioned at the target position, the positioning module 12 of the milk frothing device can magnetically couple with the third magnetic module 32 on the base 3, so that the drive component 4 can drive the paddle component 13 to rotate. Therefore, the installation of the milk frothing device can eliminate the step of alignment with the base 3, thus enabling blind operation of the installation of the milk frothing device. While not affecting the milk frothing device's ability to foam liquid milk, it also enables the rapid installation of the milk frothing device in the liquid storage container 7.

[0036] Specifically, in order to enable the second magnetic module 22 to be magnetically fixed to the base 3, in some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the base 3 includes: a base body 31, and a fourth magnetic module 32 composed of multiple fourth magnetic components 321 disposed on one side of the base body 31 opposite to the opening 51. The fourth magnetic module 32 is magnetically fixed to the second magnetic module 22, allowing the turbulence-inducing component 21 to be positioned at a target location within the liquid storage container 7.
