[0048] The cover body 21 includes an inner cover body 22, an outer cover body 23 and a side cover body 24. Two first tongues facing the first direction are arranged on the outer side of the inner cover body 22 to form two first direction buckling parts 231. Two sliding holes 222 are arranged in the second direction of the inner cover body 22. Two sliding grooves are arranged in the inner middle section of the inner cover body 22 to form two first auxiliary guide parts 223.

[0049] The outer cover 23 is provided with two second tongues facing the second direction to form two second direction fastening members 221, and the outer cover 23 is provided with two third tongues facing the second direction to form two second auxiliary guides 233. The first auxiliary guide 223 matches the second auxiliary guide 233, and both the first auxiliary guide 223 and the second auxiliary guide 233 are parallel to the first direction.

[0050] The outer cover 23 is clamped on the inner cover 22, and the second direction buckle 221 of the outer cover 23 is inserted into the slide hole 222 and extends out from the slide hole 222, so that the two realize sliding fit; the second auxiliary guide part 233 on the outer cover 23 is clamped in the first auxiliary guide part 223 of the inner cover 22, so that the two also realize sliding fit; an elastic member 26 is arranged between the outer cover 23 and the inner cover 22. A second buckle edge 242 is arranged on the side cover 24, and a first buckle edge 234 is arranged on the outer cover 23. When the side cover 24 is buckled with the inner cover 22, the second buckle edge 242 limits the first buckle edge 234, so that the outer cover 23 can be prevented from sliding out under the action of the elastic member 26.

[0051] The inner cover body 22 is provided with a card hole to form a fifth card hole 224, and the side cover body 24 is provided with a card hook to form a sixth card hole 241. When the outer cover body 23 is buckled with the inner cover body 22, the side cover body 24 is inserted from the top, and the side cover body 24 is connected to the inner cover body 22 through the fifth card hole 224 and the sixth card hole 241. The side cover body 24 covers the elastic member 26 and limits the outer cover body 23 in the second direction to prevent the outer cover body 23 from sliding inward and separating from the inner cover body 22, and also blocks the elastic member 26 to avoid affecting the appearance.

[0052] The outer surface of the outer cover body 23 is bent toward the side to form an operating portion 232 , and the operating portion 232 blocks the second direction buckling member 221 . When the outer cover body 23 is buckled with the inner cover body 22 , the operating portion 232 blocks the sliding hole 222 and the buckle hole.

[0053] The cover sealing gasket 25 can be made of edible silicone or other soft materials as a whole, and includes a gasket body 251 and a plurality of connecting columns 252 connected to the gasket body 251. A pillow block 253 is provided in the middle section of each connecting column 252. Four mounting holes 225 are provided on the inner side of the inner cover body 22. Each connecting column 252 is inserted into the mounting hole 225 and is limited by the pillow block 253. The cleaning port 11 can be effectively sealed through the gasket body 251. At the same time, the soft connecting column 252 can achieve better buffering and sealing effects. A vent 2511 is provided on the gasket body 251 to prevent milk from clogging and causing pressure imbalance inside the foaming cavity 13.

[0054] The foaming cover 20 is located at the outer opening window 34 of the first milk box cover 31, so that the foaming cavity 13 can be conveniently opened for cleaning, which is easy to operate.

[0055] The use process of the milk frothing device of the present invention is as follows:

[0056] First, install the milk frothing device between the first milk box cover 31 and the second milk box cover 32, and install the first milk box cover 31, the second milk box cover 32 and the milk frothing device as a whole through the third buckle part 311 and the fourth buckle part 321.

[0057] The milk to be foamed is placed in the milk storage box 50 , and the first milk box cover 31 , the second milk box cover 32 , and the milk foaming device assembled as one body through the aforementioned steps are installed at the mouth of the milk storage box 50 , and the milk inlet pipe 412 extends into the milk storage cavity 51 .

[0058] Start the milk frothing device, input milk into the frothing cavity 13 through the milk inlet pipe 412, input water vapor into the frothing cavity 13 through the steam pipe 422 for frothing the milk, and provide an air regulating knob 442 at the air inlet 441, and adjust the air entering the frothing cavity 13 through the air regulating knob 442, so as to achieve different frothing effects.

[0059] After foaming is completed, the foamed milk is output from the milk dispensing handle 432, and then the operating part 232 is pressed to make the outer cover body 23 retreat due to the elastic force of the elastic part 26, and the second direction fastening part 221 is disengaged from the first fastening part 12, and the foaming cover body 20 can be taken out for cleaning the foaming cavity 13.

[0060] After long-term use, the first milk box cover 31, the second milk box cover 32 and the milk frothing device can be disassembled through the third buckle part 311 and the fourth buckle part 321 to clean the space inside the first milk box cover 31 and the second milk box cover 32.
