Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of milk frothing machine equipment, in particular to a milk liquid storage cylinder for a milk frothing machine. Background Art

[0002] Milk frothers are devices used to make milk foam or froth, and are widely used in coffee shops, restaurants, and home kitchens. These machines inject steam or air into milk to turn it into rich, delicate milk foam or froth, which is used to make various coffee drinks and other dairy products.

[0003] Most of the existing milk frothing machines have a storage cylinder fixed therein for storing milk. When in use, the milk in the storage cylinder is pumped out by a liquid pump built into the milk frothing machine, and then steam is injected into the milk by a steam generator built into the milk frothing machine, so that the milk frothing machine can make milk froth. In addition, a filter mesh is often provided at the liquid outlet of the storage cylinder of the milk frothing machine for filtering fat sediment in the milk to prevent the fat sediment in the milk from entering the pump body. However, the above-mentioned prior art milk frothing machines still have the following defects in actual use:

[0004] Although the filter mesh is provided to filter the fat sediment in the milk, it can effectively prevent the fat sediment in the milk from entering the pump body, but it will cause the fat sediment to remain in the storage tank, and the storage tank is fixed in the milk frothing machine, so it is not convenient to clean the fat sediment remaining in the storage tank;

[0005] Therefore, the present application proposes a milk storage tank for a milk frothing machine. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a milk storage tank for a milk frothing machine, which solves the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0007] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0008] A milk storage cylinder for a milk frothing machine comprises a liquid storage cylinder, the top of which is open, and the liquid storage cylinder is detachably mounted on a milk frothing machine body;

[0009] The milk frothing machine body comprises a casing, a receiving groove with an open top is formed on the casing, a partition parallel to the open end of the receiving groove is fixed in the receiving groove, and the receiving groove is divided into an upper cavity and a lower cavity by the partition, and a liquid inlet pipe is fixedly installed in the lower cavity, and one end of the liquid inlet pipe passes through the partition and extends into the upper cavity;

[0010] A sleeve pipe connected to the liquid inlet pipe is fixedly installed on the partition and located in the upper cavity, a plug pipe connected to the inside of the liquid storage cylinder is installed at the bottom of the liquid storage cylinder, a filter mesh is fixedly installed at the bottom of the plug pipe, the plug pipe can be inserted into the sleeve pipe, and the outer wall of the plug pipe fits with the inner wall of the sleeve pipe;

[0011] The liquid storage cylinder is inserted into the upper cavity, and a cover plate for sealing the open end of the accommodating groove is installed on the casing. A positioning piece for positioning the cover plate is installed on the casing. When the liquid storage cylinder is inserted into the upper cavity, the plug-in tube is inserted into the sleeve tube, and the cover plate can limit the liquid storage cylinder.

[0012] Further: the cover plate is hinged on the top of the housing and is located on one side of the opening end of the receiving slot, and the positioning member includes:

[0013] The hinge block is fixedly mounted on the top of the casing and located at the other side of the opening end of the accommodating groove. The top of the hinge block and the upper part of the cover plate are rotatably connected to the limiting rod. When the cover plate blocks the opening end of the accommodating groove, the limiting rod can conflict with the top of the cover plate.

[0014] Furthermore: a sealing groove is provided on the outer side wall of the plug-in tube, and a sealing gasket is fixedly installed on the plug-in tube and in the sealing groove. When the plug-in tube is inserted into the sleeve tube, the sealing gasket contacts the inner side wall of the sleeve tube.

[0015] Furthermore: a liquid discharge port is provided at the bottom of the liquid storage cylinder, and a plug-in tube is detachably installed at the bottom of the liquid storage cylinder and is connected to the liquid discharge port.

[0016] Further: a connecting pipe connected to the liquid discharge port is fixedly installed at the bottom of the liquid storage cylinder and located outside the liquid discharge port, and the plug-in pipe is threadedly connected to the connecting pipe.

[0017] Furthermore: the liquid storage cylinder is equipped with a push-out member acting on itself, and when the cover plate is removed to block the opening end of the receiving groove, the push-out member is used to move the liquid storage cylinder toward the outside of the opening end of the receiving groove.

[0018] Furthermore: the ejection member includes a spring fixedly mounted on the bottom of the liquid storage cylinder and sleeved on the outside of the plug-in tube. When the liquid storage cylinder is inserted into the upper cavity and the cover plate blocks the open end of the accommodating groove, the spring is deformed and conflicts with the partition.

[0019] The utility model provides a milk storage tank for a milk foam machine. Compared with the prior art, it has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. By inserting the liquid storage cylinder into the upper cavity, when cleaning the inside of the liquid storage cylinder, the positioning member can be removed from the limit of the cover plate, and then the cover plate can be removed from the opening end of the receiving groove, so that the liquid storage cylinder can be disassembled, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the fat sediments remaining in the liquid storage cylinder;

[0021] 2. Through the design of the sealing gasket, when the plug-in tube is inserted into the sleeve tube, the sealing gasket and the inner wall of the sleeve tube form a conflict, thereby increasing the fit between the plug-in tube and the sleeve tube, and increasing the sealing between the plug-in tube and the sleeve tube, thereby effectively preventing milk from leaking through the connection between the plug-in tube and the sleeve tube;

[0022] 3. Through the design of the ejector, when the cover plate is removed to block the open end of the receiving groove, the ejector pushes the liquid storage cylinder to move to the outside of the open end of the receiving groove, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the liquid storage cylinder and further facilitating the cleaning of the residual fat sediment in the liquid storage cylinder.

[0033] In order to solve the technical problems in the background technology, a milk storage cylinder for a milk frothing machine is provided as follows:

[0034] Combination Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the utility model provides a milk storage cylinder for a milk frothing machine, comprising a liquid storage cylinder 1, the top of which is open, and the liquid storage cylinder 1 is detachably mounted on a milk frothing machine body 2; the milk frothing machine body 2 comprises a casing 21, a receiving groove 22 with an open top is provided on the casing 21, a partition 23 parallel to the open end of the receiving groove 22 is fixedly arranged in the receiving groove 22, and the receiving groove 22 is divided into an upper cavity 24 and a lower cavity 25 by the partition 23, a liquid inlet pipe 26 is fixedly mounted in the lower cavity 25, one end of the liquid inlet pipe 26 passes through the partition 23 and extends into the upper cavity 24, and the other end of the liquid inlet pipe 26 is connected to the liquid pump built into the milk frothing machine body 2; a sleeve pipe 3 connected to the liquid inlet pipe 26 is fixedly mounted on the partition 23 and located in the upper cavity 24, a plug pipe 4 connected to the interior of the liquid storage cylinder 1 is mounted at the bottom, a filter mesh 41 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the plug pipe 4, and the filter mesh 41 has a maximum surface area The largest surface area side of the filter mesh 41 is blocked against the inside of the plug-in tube 4, and the largest surface area side of the filter mesh 41 is provided with a plurality of filter holes which are all connected with the inside of the plug-in tube 4. When the milk passes through the filter mesh 41, it flows through the filter holes, and the filter mesh 41 filters the fat sediment in the milk. The plug-in tube 4 can be inserted into the sleeve tube 3, and the outer wall of the plug-in tube 4 fits with the inner wall of the sleeve tube 3. When in use, the milk is inverted in the liquid storage cylinder 1, and the milk can pass through the plug-in tube 3. The pipe 4 and the sleeve pipe 3 enter the liquid inlet pipe 26, during which the filter mesh 41 filters the fat sediment in the milk; the liquid storage cylinder 1 is inserted into the upper cavity 24, and the casing 21 is equipped with a cover plate 5 for sealing the open end of the receiving groove 22. The casing 21 is equipped with a positioning member 6 for positioning the cover plate 5. When the liquid storage cylinder 1 is inserted into the upper cavity 24, the pipe 4 is inserted into the sleeve pipe 3, and the cover plate 5 can limit the liquid storage cylinder 1.

[0035] By arranging the liquid storage cylinder 1 to be inserted into the upper cavity 24, when cleaning the inside of the liquid storage cylinder 1, the limiting effect of the positioning member 6 on the cover plate 5 is cancelled, and then the blocking of the cover plate 5 on the open end of the receiving groove 22 is cancelled, and the liquid storage cylinder 1 can be pulled out from the receiving groove 22, thereby achieving the disassembly effect of the liquid storage cylinder 1, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the fat sediment remaining in the liquid storage cylinder 1.

[0036] Embodiment 2

[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further provides the following contents:

[0038] In this embodiment, the cover plate 5 is hinged at the top of the casing 21 and is located on one side of the open end of the accommodating groove 22. When in use, the cover plate 5 is rotated around its own hinge point at the top of the casing 21 to block or cancel the blockage of the open end of the accommodating groove 22. The operation is simple. The positioning member 6 includes: a hinge block 61, which is fixedly mounted on the top of the casing 21 and is located at the other side of the open end of the accommodating groove 22. The top of the hinge block 61 and the upper part of the cover plate 5 are rotatably connected to the limiting rod 62. When the cover plate 5 blocks the open end of the accommodating groove 22, the limiting rod 62 can conflict with the top of the cover plate 5. When in use, the cover plate 5 is rotated around its own hinge point at the top of the casing 21. When the open end of the accommodating groove 22 is blocked, the limiting rod 62 is rotated to make it conflict with the top of the cover plate 5, so that the cover plate 5 can be limited. Conversely, the limiting rod 62 is rotated to make it located on one side of the cover plate 5, so that the limit of the cover plate 5 can be cancelled. The operation is simple and easy to use.

[0039] In this embodiment, a sealing groove 42 is formed on the outer wall of the plug-in tube 4, and a sealing gasket 43 is fixedly installed on the plug-in tube 4 and in the sealing groove 42. The sealing gasket 43 is made of latex pad. When the plug-in tube 4 is inserted into the sleeve tube 3, the sealing gasket 43 forms a conflict with the inner wall of the sleeve tube 3. Through the design of the sealing gasket 43, when the plug-in tube 4 is inserted into the sleeve tube 3, the sealing gasket 43 forms a conflict with the inner wall of the sleeve tube 3, thereby increasing the fit between the plug-in tube 4 and the sleeve tube 3 and the sealing between the plug-in tube 4 and the sleeve tube 3, thereby effectively preventing milk from seeping out through the connection between the plug-in tube 4 and the sleeve tube 3.

[0040] In this embodiment, a drain port 11 is provided at the bottom of the liquid storage cylinder 1, and the plug-in tube 4 is detachably installed at the bottom of the liquid storage cylinder 1 and is connected to the drain port 11. By setting the plug-in tube 4 detachably installed at the bottom of the liquid storage cylinder 1, the fat sediment remaining in the liquid storage cylinder 1 can be cleaned, and the plug-in tube 4 can be disassembled, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the filter mesh 41 at the bottom of the plug-in tube 4.

When in use, the plug-in tube 4 can be rotated to make it move spirally along the connecting tube 12, so that the plug-in tube 4 can be installed or removed, which facilitates the installation and removal of the plug-in tube 4.

[0044] In this embodiment, the liquid storage cylinder 1 is installed with a push-out member 7 that acts on itself. When the cover plate 5 is removed from blocking the open end of the receiving groove 22, the push-out member 7 is used to move the liquid storage cylinder 1 toward the outside of the open end of the receiving groove 22. Through the design of the push-out member 7, when the cover plate 5 is removed from blocking the open end of the receiving groove 22, the push-out member 7 pushes the liquid storage cylinder 1 toward the outside of the open end of the receiving groove 22, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the liquid storage cylinder 1 and further facilitating the cleaning of the fat sediment remaining in the liquid storage cylinder 1.

[0045] In this embodiment, the ejection member 7 includes a spring 71 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the liquid storage cylinder 1 and sleeved on the outside of the plug-in tube 4. When the liquid storage cylinder 1 is inserted into the upper cavity 24 and the cover plate 5 blocks the open end of the receiving groove 22, the spring 71 is deformed and conflicts with the partition 23. During use, the liquid storage cylinder 1 is inserted into the upper cavity 24 and the cover plate 5 blocks the open end of the receiving groove 22. The spring 71 is deformed and conflicts with the partition 23. When the cover plate 5 is removed from blocking the open end of the receiving groove 22, the spring 71 returns to its natural state, thereby pushing the liquid storage cylinder 1 to move toward the outside of the open end of the receiving groove 22.

[0046] The working principle and use process of this utility model:

The liquid storage cylinder 1 is pressed to hide it in the receiving groove 22, and the milk can be inverted in the liquid storage cylinder 1 for storage, and the milk can enter the liquid inlet pipe 26 through the plug-in pipe 4 and the sleeve pipe 3. During this period, the filter mesh 41 filters the fat sediment in the milk; the cover plate 5 is rotated around its own hinge point at the top of the housing 21, the open end of the receiving groove 22 is blocked, and the limit rod 62 is rotated to make it contact with the top of the cover plate 5, and the cover plate 5 can be limited;

[0049] When cleaning the inside of the liquid storage cylinder 1, the limit rod 62 is rotated to be located on one side of the cover plate 5, the limit of the cover plate 5 is cancelled, and the cover plate 5 is rotated around its own hinge point on the top of the casing 21, and the blockage of the open end of the receiving groove 22 is cancelled, and the liquid storage cylinder 1 can be drawn out of the receiving groove 22, so as to achieve the disassembly effect of the liquid storage cylinder 1, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the fat sediment remaining in the liquid storage cylinder 1. During this period, the spring 71 returns to its natural state, thereby pushing the liquid storage cylinder 1 to move to the outside of the open end of the receiving groove 22, facilitating the disassembly of the liquid storage cylinder 1, and further facilitating the cleaning of the fat sediment remaining in the liquid storage cylinder 1; by setting The plug-in tube 4 is detachably installed at the bottom of the liquid storage cylinder 1 to clean the fat sediment remaining in the liquid storage cylinder 1.
