[0026] Working principle:
[0027] When in use, the area above the workbench 18 of the steam-stirring machine is used as the working area, and the area under the table is used as the cleaning area. The stirrer motor 6 drives the stirring head 8 to rotate to realize the stirring function. At the same time, steam enters through the steam inlet 13 and is transported to the steam nozzle 7 through the pipeline, thereby realizing the steam heating and whipping functions. The stirring and steam heating / whipping functions can work separately or simultaneously to meet the needs of making different beverages. The stirring steam head (i.e., the combination of the stirrer, the stirring head 8 and the steam nozzle 7) is engaged with the gear of the transmission motor 10 through the transmission rack 4 to realize the up and down movement. When the stirring steam head completes the stirring and steam heating / whipping work, the transmission motor 10 drives it to drop to the lowest point. At this time, the lower plane of the whipping shell 2 is completely in contact with the upper plane of the cleaning box 16, ensuring that water will not splash onto the workbench 18 during the rotating cleaning process. After the stirring steam head drops to the lowest point, the water pump 11 starts to work and pumps clean water from the clean water inlet 14 into the cleaning box 16. At the same time, the stirring head 8 starts to rotate under the drive of the stirrer motor 6, and the stirring head 8 and the steam nozzle 7 are cleaned. After the cleaning is completed, the cleaning drain port 17 is opened to discharge the cleaned water. Subsequently, the stirring steam head rises to the highest point under the drive of the transmission motor 10, ready for the next working cycle. In the entire automatic cleaning process, the controller 12 plays a key role. It controls the lifting and lowering of the stirring steam head, the rotation of the stirring head 8, the operation of the water pump 11, and the opening and closing of the cleaning drain port 17 according to the preset program and instructions, ensuring the efficiency, accuracy and safety of the automatic cleaning process. The setting of the rising stop limit switch 3 and the descending stop limit switch 5 ensures the safety and accuracy of the stirring steam head during the lifting process. When the stirring steam head reaches the preset highest or lowest position, the corresponding limit switch will be triggered, thereby stopping the operation of the transmission motor 10 to prevent the stirring steam head from exceeding the preset working range. This design and safety protection measures effectively improve the safety and stability of the equipment.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
