[0003] In the existing public documents, patent announcement number CN217852446U discloses a milk frothing machine, which mainly uses the end of the steam plug to be located below the liquid surface of the milk. At this time, steam can be output through the end of the steam plug to froth the milk. When the steam plug is located at the second position relative to the housing, the steam plug is completely lifted off the liquid surface of the milk. The milk in the milk tank can be automatically frothed, and the frothing efficiency is higher. The milk frothing machine has the following defects.

[0036] In this embodiment, as shown in the attached Fig.10 As shown, the docking anti-expansion component includes a faucet valve 36, a lower discharge pipe 37 and a distance sensor 38; the faucet valve 36 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the conveying pipe 2 and close to its top position, the lower discharge pipe 37 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the faucet valve 36, and the distance sensor 38 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the lower discharge pipe 37; the docking anti-expansion component also includes a support block 39, a stepper motor 40, a rotating block 41, a docking bucket 42 and a dispersion blade 43; the support block 39 is located on one side of the lower discharge pipe 37 and is fixedly connected to the faucet valve 36, the stepper motor 40 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support block 39, and the rotating block 41 is fixedly located on the outer wall of the output end of the stepper motor 40, and the stepper motor 40 is used to drive the rotating block 41 to rotate; a docking bucket 42 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the rotating block 41, and a dispersion blade 43 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the docking bucket 42, and the inner wall diameter of the docking bucket 42 is larger than the inner wall diameter of the lower discharge pipe 37. The docking bucket 42 and the dispersion blades 43 are welded, and the inner wall of the docking bucket 42 is set to be a smooth surface.

[0037] The working principle of the milk frothing device of the present invention is as follows: Step 1: When positioning and sealing, insert the container cup 15 into the positioning ring 4, support the upper surface of the container cup 15 through the support block 3, and at the same time, the main machine 17 starts the electric cylinder 8, the electric cylinder 8 pushes the connecting strip 7 upward, the connecting strip 7 drives the pillar 6 upward, the pillar 6 drives the limit ring 5 upward, and the limit ring 5 slides and separates on the positioning ring 4. The limit ring 5 drives the annular air cushion 9 upward, the limit ring 5 drives the boost pipe 10 upward at the same time, the boost pipe 10 drives the pressure transmitter 11 upward, and the limit ring 5 can drive the induction block 12 upward, the induction block 12 approaches the lower surface of the proximity sensor 14, and the delivery pipe 2 supports the sleeve plate 13, and the sleeve plate 13 provides a stable support force for the proximity sensor 14.

[0038] At the same time, the limit ring 5 drives the sliding frame 29 to move upward, the sliding frame 29 drives the screw 30 to move upward, and the screw 30 drives the threaded sleeve 32 to move upward. The threaded sleeve 32 causes the pressure sensor 33 to move upward, the pressure sensor 33 drives the pressure plate 34 to move upward, and the pressure plate 34 drives the shoveling ring plate 35 to slide upward along the outer wall of the holding cup 15. When the sensing block 12 moves upward and contacts the lower surface of the proximity sensor 14, the host 17 can turn off the electric cylinder 8 through the proximity sensor 14 sensing, so that the upper surface of the sensing block 12 fits on the bottom sensing end of the proximity sensor 14, and the limit ring 5 drives the annular air cushion 9 to move upward to the edge line of the outer wall of the top of the holding cup 15.

[0039] At the same time, the host 17 starts the booster air pump 18, the host 17 opens the electric valve 19, the host 17 supports the reinforcement strip 20, and the reinforcement strip 20 provides a stable support force for the booster air pump 18, so that the air pressurized by the booster air pump 18 is transported to the booster pipe 10, and then poured into the annular air cushion 9 by the booster pipe 10, and the annular air cushion 9 is pressurized to achieve the extrusion operation. The annular air cushion 9 is squeezed at the edge line of the outer wall of the top end of the holding cup 15 to achieve the extrusion sealing operation.

[0040] Step 2, during docking and anti-expansion, the delivery pipe 2 supports the faucet valve 36, the faucet valve 36 supports the support block 39, the support block 39 provides a stable support force for the stepper motor 40, the stepper motor 40 drives the rotating block 41 to rotate counterclockwise, the rotating block 41 drives the docking bucket 42 to rotate counterclockwise, the docking bucket 42 drives the dispersion blades 43 to rotate counterclockwise, the right end of the docking bucket 42 rotates counterclockwise and is located at the lower surface of the distance sensor 38. When the distance sensor 38 senses the position of the docking bucket 42, the stepper motor 40 is turned off by the host 17.

[0041] Step 3. When frothing milk, the screen of the main unit 17 and the electronic touch screen of the faucet valve 36 can intuitively control the parameters, preset and quickly adjust the time, and the air filtered by the filter is pressurized and enters the booster gas cylinder 21. The amount of pressurized air entering the booster gas cylinder 21 is adjusted by the electromagnetic valve 22, and then transported to the bubble tube 23 through the electromagnetic valve 22, and the bubble tube 23 is collected in the collection box 26.

[0042] At the same time, the pump 25 can generate suction on the receiving box 24, so that the milk can be transported from the receiving box 24 to the collecting box 26, so that air and milk can enter evenly and merge quickly, thereby achieving the purpose of expanding volume and foaming. After foaming, it is transported to the collecting box 26, and the collecting box 26 is transported to the guide tube 27. Heat exchange is achieved through two resistance heating rods 28 on the guide tube 27. It is unconventional steam heating. The amount of water vapor injected into the milk foam is almost 0. The milk foam has a denser taste, better highlights the sweetness of the milk, and is more thoroughly integrated with the coffee, bringing a better milk coffee flavor. The heated milk foam can enter the delivery pipe 2 and enter the faucet valve 36 through the delivery pipe 2. The fine milk foam flows along the faucet valve 36 into the lower discharge pipe 37, and then into the docking bucket 42, where it is dispersed by the dispersing blades 43 inside the docking bucket 42. The dispersed milk foam can enter the receiving cup 15, reducing the amount of milk foam splashing. A smaller amount of splashing will contact the inner wall of the annular air cushion 9, and the annular air cushion 9 is used to seal and protect the receiving cup 15. Secondly, in the under-counter milk foam whipping system, the booster air pump 18 is under the bar and the milk faucet is on the cabinet 1, which can ensure that the cabinet 1 is clean and tidy and does not take up space. After the milk foam injection is completed, the motor 31 is driven by the main engine 17.

[0043] Step 4: When the milk is shoveled and gathered, the driving motor 31 drives the screw rod 30 to rotate, and the screw rod 30 rotates inside the sliding frame 29, and the screw rod 30 drives the threaded sleeve 32 to move downward under the action of the thread transmission force. The threaded sleeve 32 slides down along the inner wall of the sliding frame 29, and the threaded sleeve 32 drives the pressure sensor 33 to move downward, and the pressure sensor 33 drives the pressing plate 34 to move downward, and the pressing plate 34 drives the shoveling ring plate 35 to move downward. The pressure sensor 33 can sense the downward pressure, and the pressing plate 34 moves downward according to the specified pressure. The shoveling ring plate 35 moves downward along the outer wall of the holding cup 15 to shovel the milk foam flowing on the inner wall of the annular air cushion 9. Under the action of gravity and the shoveling force of the shoveling ring plate 35, the milk foam can be shoveled and flowed into the holding cup 15, so as to avoid the milk foam from splashing on the inner wall of the holding cup 15 and avoiding the waste of milk foam.
