[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0030] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 The utility model discloses a driven top-mounted milk frother, comprising a machine base 10, a heating element 40 and a driving element 30. A stirring cup 20 and a stirring element are arranged on the machine base 10. The stirring cup 20 can be disassembled and assembled with the machine base 10, for example, by threaded assembly, so as to facilitate the taking, placing and cleaning of the stirring cup 20. Of course, it can also be fixedly assembled on the machine base 10, and the specific assembly method can be selected according to actual needs. The stirring element can extend into the stirring cup 20 to stir the material in the stirring cup 20, and the driving element 30 on the machine base 10 can be connected with the stirring element and can drive the stirring element to rotate.

[0031] The heating element 40 is installed at the bottom of the base 10 , and the driving element 30 is located at the top of the base 10 , that is, the driving element 30 and the heating element 40 are located at two ends of the base 10 that are away from each other.

[0032] On the basis of the above structure, when using the drive-mounted milk frother of the utility model, milk can be put into the stirring cup 20, and then the heating element 40 is started. The heating element 40 heats the milk in the stirring cup 20. After the milk is heated to a certain temperature, the driving element 30 can be used to drive the stirring element to rotate, and the rotation of the stirring element can stir and foam the milk in the stirring cup 20.

[0033] It should be noted that, compared with the prior art in which the driving member 30 and the heating member 40 are located at the same end of the machine base 10, the heat generated by the heating member 40 will affect the driving member 30, causing the driving member 30 to work in an overheated environment, resulting in the driving member 30 being easily damaged. In the present embodiment, since the heating member 40 is located at the bottom end of the machine base 10 and the driving member 30 is located at the top end of the machine base 10, the driving member 30 and the heating member 40 are located at two ends of the machine base that are away from each other. In this way, the heat generated by the heating member 40 is concentrated at the bottom end of the machine base 10, away from the driving member 30 located at the top end of the machine base 10, so that the operation of the driving member 30 will not be affected by the heat of the heating member 40, thereby improving the service life of the driving member 30.

[0034] Furthermore, a circuit board 60 and a wire assembly may be provided in the base 10. Specifically, the circuit board 60 is provided at the bottom of the base 10, and the wire assembly includes a first wire 61 and a second wire 62. One end of the first wire 61 is electrically connected to the circuit board 60, and the other end of the first wire 61 is provided with a first conductive connector 611. In addition, one end of the second wire 62 is electrically connected to the driving member 30, and the second wire 62 is provided with a second conductive connector 621. The first conductive connector 611 is used to be electrically connected to the second conductive connector 621.

[0035] On the basis of this structure, since the driving component 30 and the heating component 40 are respectively located at the two ends of the base 10, and the circuit board 60 is located at the bottom of the base 10, in order to facilitate wiring, the first wire 61 can be electrically connected to the circuit board 60, and the second wire 62 can be electrically connected to the driving component 30. In this way, the heating component 40 circuit located at the bottom of the base 10 can be directly electrically connected to the circuit board 60, and the driving component 30 located at the top can be electrically connected to the circuit board 60 through the first wire 61 and the second wire 62.

[0036] In addition, the first wire 61 and the second wire 62 are electrically connected by the first conductive connector 611 and the second conductive connector 621. When routing, the first wire 61 is led out upward from the bottom of the base 10, and the second wire 62 is led out downward from the bottom of the base 10, and then the wires are connected. Compared with the whole wire, the two wires are electrically connected through two conductive connectors, which is convenient for wiring and disassembly.

[0037] More specifically, the first conductive connector 611 in this embodiment is a first conductive pin, and the second conductive connector is a second conductive pin, so that the first conductive pin and the second conductive pin can be plugged together and electrically connected. That is, when the first wire 61 and the second wire 62 are connected, the first conductive pin and the second conductive pin are plugged together for connection, and the connection can adopt a plug-in structure to facilitate the connection and disconnection of the first wire 61 and the second wire 62.

[0038] Of course, the first conductive connector 611 and the second conductive connector 621 can also be selected as plug connectors in the prior art. The first conductive pin and the second conductive pin are formed by a PIN pin structure in the prior art.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a cup cover 70 may be provided on the machine base 10, and an assembly channel may be provided at the bottom end of the cup cover 70, and the driving member 30 may be installed in the assembly channel, and the stirring member may extend into the assembly channel and be connected to the driving member 30, and the second wire 62 may extend into the assembly channel and be electrically connected to the driving member 30, and the second conductive connector 621 may be led out from the cup cover 70. Specifically, the cup cover 70 may be sealed on the stirring cup 20, and after the cup cover 70 is sealed on the stirring cup 20, the second conductive connector 621 extended from the cup cover 70 may correspond to the first conductive connector 611 on the machine base 10, so that the second conductive connector 621 is electrically connected to the first conductive connector 611.

[0040] In this way, when performing the stirring action, the cup cover 70 can be opened first, and then milk can be introduced into the stirring cup 20. Thereafter, the cup cover 70 can be sealed to the opening position of the stirring cup 20, and the second conductive connector 621 on the cup cover 70 can be electrically connected to the first conductive connector 611 on the machine base 10 at this time, that is, the electrical connection can be achieved only after the cup cover 70 is sealed to the stirring cup 20, that is, the driving member 30 can be started only after the cup cover 70 is sealed, so as to prevent the driving member 30 from being accidentally started when not in use, and to make it safer to use.

[0041] Of course, a boss structure can be set at the bottom end of the cup cover 70, and the above-mentioned assembly channel can be set inside the boss. A cavity structure is set inside the cup cover 70. The assembly channel can pass through the cavity inside the cup cover 70 from top to bottom, and the second wire 62 can also be introduced into the cavity through the assembly channel to facilitate internal routing.

[0042] Furthermore, a first magnet 80 may be provided on the machine base, and a second magnet 90 may be provided on the cup cover 70 accordingly. After the cup cover 70 is covered on the blending cup 20, the second magnet 90 on the cup cover 70 may be magnetically engaged with the first magnet 80 on the machine base. In this way, the cup cover 70 may be magnetically engaged with the blending cup 20 on the machine base after being covered on the machine base, thereby reducing the possibility of detachment.

[0043] In addition, it should be noted that after the cup cover 70 is sealed to the mixing cup 20, it can be snapped into the mixing cup 20 or threadedly assembled into the mixing cup 20. The cup cover 70 and the base 10 can be assembled in a rotatable manner, so that the cup cover 70 can be opened and closed by rotating it.

[0044] More specifically, two first magnets 80 may be provided, and the two first magnets 80 are distributed on both sides of the first conductive joint 611. In addition, two second magnets 90 may be provided, and the two second magnets 90 are distributed on both sides of the second conductive joint 621. That is, the magnetic attraction cooperation between the cup cover 70 and the base 10 may be concentrated on both sides of the first conductive joint 611 and the second conductive joint 621. After the first conductive joint 611 and the second conductive joint 621 are plug-in-fitted, they may be further limited by the magnetic attraction cooperation between the first magnet 80 and the second magnet 90 on both sides to prevent the conductive joint from being detached, and the electrical connection structure is more stable.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first magnet 80 and the second magnet 90 are both magnets, and the magnetism of the magnet used as the first magnet 80 can be opposite to the magnetism of the magnet used as the second magnet 90. Of course, the first magnet 80 can also be made of iron, and the second magnet 90 can be made of a permanent magnet, so that magnetic attraction can also be achieved.

[0046] Furthermore, the heating element 40 is installed at the bottom of the blending cup 20, that is, the blending cup 20 can be directly assembled to the bottom of the blending cup 20, and the bottom of the blending cup 20 is directly heated, so that the heat utilization rate is higher. Of course, the heating element 40 can also be installed on the base 10, and it can be located below the blending cup 20.

[0047] When the heating element 40 is arranged at the bottom of the blending cup 20, a heat insulation cover 21 may be further arranged at the bottom of the blending cup 20. The heat insulation cover 21 is arranged outside the heating element 40. Since the circuit board 60 is arranged at the bottom of the machine base 10, the heat generated by the heating element 40 can be concentrated at the bottom of the blending cup 20 through the heat insulation cover 21 at the bottom of the blending cup 20, and the thermal influence of the heat generated by the heating element 40 on the circuit board 60 can be reduced, thereby improving the service life of the circuit board 60.

[0048] Furthermore, the stirring member includes a stirring shaft 51 and a spring stirring coil 52. The top end of the stirring shaft 51 is connected to the driving member 30, and the bottom end of the stirring shaft 51 is connected to the spring stirring coil 52. In this way, the stirring shaft 51 can be driven to rotate by the driving member 30, and the stirring shaft 51 can drive the stirring spring coil to rotate. The stirring spring coil adopts a multi-turn interval structure to interrupt the rotation of the milk. At the same time, the spring has elastic force, can be compressed or rebounded autonomously, and can move in the stirring cup 20 due to its own elastic force, so it is easier to stir the milk evenly and the frothing efficiency is higher.

[0049] Of course, the stirring element may also be implemented by other structures such as a stirring net or stirring claws in the prior art, and the selection is made according to actual needs.

[0050] Furthermore, the driving member 30 is a driving motor, and the rotating shaft of the driving motor is connected to the stirring member, so that the stirring member can be driven to rotate by the rotating shaft of the driving motor, and the driving motor is directly driven to simplify the driving structure. In addition, the driving member 30 can also be realized by using a driving motor with a gear transmission or other transmission structure.

[0051] The technical means disclosed in the solution of the utility model are not limited to the technical means disclosed in the above-mentioned implementation mode, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.
