Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam engine technology, and in particular to a steam engine for preheating beverages. Background Technology
[0002] A steam engine, also known as a steam generator, is a mechanical device that uses the heat energy of fuel or other energy sources to heat water into hot water or steam. Because steam engines produce high-temperature steam, they are widely used in milk tea shops. The high temperature of the output steam is used to directly heat beverages, such as milk tea, which requires a hot beverage. This is especially important in winter when ambient temperatures are low, as immediate heating significantly improves the efficiency of milk tea preparation.
[0003] Existing steamers mostly heat milk tea in cups by outputting steam. However, in winter, the outer wall of the cup is cold, and the cup absorbs most of the heat from the steam when heating the milk tea, preventing the heat from being fully transferred to the milk tea and affecting its taste. Therefore, a new steamer for preheating beverages needs to be designed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a steam engine for preheating beverages.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A steam generator for preheating beverages includes a steam generator body. A base plate and a preheating box are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the steam generator body. The upper end of the preheating box is open. A sliding plate is slidably connected inside the preheating box. A threaded rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the preheating box. The threaded rod is connected to the sliding plate through a connecting mechanism. Multiple sets of sliding grooves are opened at the upper end of the sliding plate. A sliding rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each set of sliding grooves. Two sets of limiting plates are slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod. The edges of the two sets of limiting plates are smoothly transitioned.
[0007] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a slider threadedly connected to the threaded section of a threaded rod, and the slider is fixedly connected to the slide plate.
[0008] Preferably, a limiting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the preheating box, a limiting block is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting rod, and the limiting block is fixedly connected to the sliding plate.
[0009] Preferably, springs are fitted at both ends of the slide rod, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the adjacent limiting plate.
[0010] Preferably, a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the preheating box and communicates with its interior.
[0011] Preferably, a throttle is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod, and an anti-slip pad is installed on the outer wall of the throttle.
[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This utility model uses a sliding plate, a threaded rod, and a preheating box to make the sliding plate and the cup on top of it slide into the preheating box by rotating the threaded rod. At this time, the cup is submerged in the hot water in the preheating box. The hot water in the preheating box can transfer heat to the inner and outer walls of the cup. Through this preheating method, the cup temperature can be prevented from being too low when brewing milk tea and heating it, so that the heat of the steam cannot be transferred, thus ensuring the taste of the milk tea.
[0014] 2. By setting up devices such as springs and limiting plates, this utility model can limit the position of the cup when it is immersed in hot water, and prevent the cup from getting stuck in the gap of the preheating box after the sliding plate is raised. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0021] Reference Figure 1-4A steam generator for preheating beverages includes a steam generator body 1. A base plate 2 and a preheating box 3 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the steam generator body 1. The upper end of the preheating box 3 is open. A slide plate 5 is slidably connected inside the preheating box 3. A threaded rod 7 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the preheating box 3. The threaded rod 7 is connected to the slide plate 5 through a connecting mechanism. Multiple sets of sliding grooves 11 are opened at the upper end of the slide plate 5. Slide rods 12 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the multiple sets of sliding grooves 11. Two sets of limiting plates 13 are slidably connected to the outer walls of the slide rods 12. The edges of the two sets of limiting plates 13 are smoothly transitioned. The connecting mechanism includes a slider 8 threadedly connected to the threaded section of the threaded rod 7. The slider 8 is fixedly connected to the slide plate 5. By injecting hot water into the preheating box 3 and placing the cup between the two sets of limiting plates 13, the sliding of the slide plate 5 moves the cup into the preheating box 3 for soaking. The hot water can transfer heat to the inner and outer walls of the cup. When brewing milk tea and heating later, it can prevent the cup temperature from being too low, which would prevent the heat of the steam from being unable to be transferred, thus ensuring the taste of the milk tea.
[0022] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A limiting rod 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the preheating box 3. A limiting block 10 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting rod 9. The limiting block 10 is fixedly connected to the slide plate 5. By driving the slide plate 5 to slide, the cup can slide up and down. The hand does not need to come into contact with the water in the preheating box 3. At the same time, when the slide plate 5 slides to the highest point, the cup can be drained. The user does not need to directly contact the water in the preheating box, thereby avoiding the risk of scalding and improving the safety and comfort of operation.
[0023] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 Springs 14 are fitted at both ends of the slide bar 12. One end of the spring 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 11, and the other end of the spring 14 is fixedly connected to the adjacent limiting plate 13. When the cup is placed in the preheating box 3, the cup mouth is facing down, so as to ensure that the inner wall of the cup can also be contacted by hot water. The spring 14 and the limiting plate 13 can limit the position of the cup, preventing the cup from being in the gap when the slide plate 5 is lifted later. At the same time, it reduces unnecessary movement or shaking, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the device.
[0024] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The preheating box 3 has a drain pipe 4 fixedly connected to its outer wall and communicates with its interior. The threaded rod 7 has a handle 6 fixedly connected to its end. The handle 6 has an anti-slip pad installed on its outer wall. The anti-slip pad increases the friction with the hand, making it easier for the user to grip the handle during operation, reducing the possibility of hand slippage, and improving the stability and comfort of operation.
[0025] In this invention, the specific function of the device is as follows: When using this device, place the cup on the upper end of the slide plate 5, then slide the limiting plate 13 inward by hand while compressing the spring 14. Then place the cup with the mouth facing down between the two sets of limiting plates 13, release the hand, and the spring 14 will return to its original position, causing the two sets of limiting plates 13 to slide until they contact the inner wall of the cup, thus achieving the purpose of limiting the cup. Then, through the rotation of the threaded rod 7, under the limiting action of the limiting rod 9, the slide plate 5 will slide downward. At this time, the cup will gradually be immersed in the preheating box 3, and the hot water in the preheating box 3 can transfer heat to the inner and outer walls of the cup. Through this preheating method, when brewing milk tea and heating it later, the cup temperature can be prevented from being too low, which would prevent the heat of the steam from being transferred and ensure the taste of the milk tea.
[0026] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
