[0029] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of the utility model will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0031] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0032] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the utility model, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, if the meaning of "and / or" appearing in the full text is to include three parallel schemes, taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes scheme A, or scheme B, or a scheme that satisfies both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the utility model.

[0033] At present, there are many beverage processing equipment such as kettles, coffee machines and milk tea machines on the market that have heating function and instant heating function, which can instantly heat beverages; generally, beverage processing equipment with instant heating function basically includes an inner tank, a heating wire and an instant heating pipe, the heating wire is attached to the instant heating pipe, and the instant heating pipe connects the inner tank with the water outlet pipeline of the beverage processing equipment; when the user uses the instant heating function of the beverage processing equipment, the heating pipe is powered on and heated, and then the heat is transferred to the instant heating pipe, and the liquid in the instant heating pipe absorbs heat to complete the heating process of the beverage.

[0034] In order to reduce the volume of beverage processing equipment while retaining the heating function and instant heating function, the heating wire is generally set on the instant heating pipe, the instant heating pipe is connected to the inner tank and the water outlet pipe, and the instant heating pipe and the heating wire are both attached to the bottom of the inner tank of the beverage processing equipment, thereby reducing the overall volume of the beverage processing equipment. However, the above arrangement method will cause most of the heat generated by the heating wire to be transferred to the inner tank, resulting in insufficient heat transferred to the instant heating pipe, thereby reducing the upper limit of the water outlet temperature of the instant heating pipe.

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In order to solve the above problems, the utility model proposes a liquid heating container, including a water pipe 100, a heating tube 200 and an inner tank 500; wherein the inner tank 500 is used to contain liquid, the water pipe 100 is used to discharge water, and the heating tube 200 is used to heat the water pipe 100; in this embodiment, the water pipe 100 is wound around the heating tube 200, and the outer wall of the water pipe 100 is connected to the bottom of the inner tank 500; when the instant heating function of the liquid heating container is activated, the heating tube 200 is powered on to generate heat, and the water pipe 100 wound around the heating tube 200 will be heated immediately. Since the water pipe 100 is wound around the heating tube 200, the instant heating function is improved. The contact area between the water pipe 100 and the heating tube 200 increases the upper limit of the heat that the water pipe 100 can absorb, thereby increasing the upper limit of the temperature that the water pipe 100 can reach; specifically, when water flows through the water pipe 100, because the water pipe 100 is wrapped around the heating tube 200, at the same flow rate, the time for the water to flow through the water pipe 100 will be longer, so that the heating temperature of the water can become higher; from another perspective, under a certain set temperature condition, the time for the water in the water pipe 100 to reach the set temperature will be shortened; in summary, the winding setting of the water pipe 100 increases the upper limit of the temperature that the water pipe 100 can reach.

[0036] Reference Figures 2 to 5 However, when the heating function of the liquid heating container is started, all the liquid in the inner tank 500 needs to be heated. In combination with the above description, the water pipe 100 can absorb more heat from the heating tube 200, so that the water in the water pipe 100 can be vaporized into steam. The steam will move to the bottom of the inner tank 500 through the water pipe 100 under the action of buoyancy and enter the inner tank 500, and then will further float to the liquid surface under the action of buoyancy; the steam itself has a high heat, so the steam will exchange heat with the liquid in the inner tank 500 during the floating process, thereby completing the heating of the liquid in the inner tank 500; and during the floating process of the steam, the liquid in the inner tank 500 will be continuously stirred, so that the heat energy of the liquid in the inner tank 500 is more uniform; therefore, the heating tube 200 can be used to heat the water pipe 100 to generate steam, and then the steam can be used to heat the inner tank 500, thereby accelerating the heat transfer efficiency and thereby improving the heating rate of the inner tank 500.

[0037] In addition, the outer wall of the water pipe 100 is connected to the bottom of the inner tank 500, so that the inner tank 500 can also absorb the heat emitted by the water pipe 100 and heat the water therein synchronously, further improving the heating rate. Specifically, a heat transfer aluminum plate 300 is provided on the bottom of the inner tank 500, and the outer wall of the water pipe 100 is connected to the heat transfer aluminum plate 300, so that the heating pipe 200 is fixed on one side of the heat transfer aluminum plate 300 in a disguised manner; the setting of the heat transfer aluminum plate 300 can evenly transfer the heat emitted by the water pipe 100 to the inner tank 500, thereby facilitating the heating of the liquid in the inner tank 500.

[0038] It should be noted that in order to complete the mutual connection between the above structures and improve the stability of the overall structure, the surface of the water pipe 100 is wrapped with aluminum, which has good heat transfer performance and is easy to process; specifically, the heat transfer aluminum plate 300 is welded to the inner tank 500, the water pipe 100 is welded to the heat transfer aluminum plate 300, and the water pipe 100 and the heating pipe 200 are also welded; since all structures are welded, that is, all structures can conduct heat through metal, the water pipe 100 can fully absorb the heat generated by the heating pipe 200, and the heat transfer aluminum plate 300 can fully absorb the heat emitted by the water pipe 100, so that the overall structure can maximize the use of the heat generated by the heating pipe 200 and reduce heat waste.

[0039] Reference Figures 2 to 5 In the present embodiment, in order to facilitate winding the water pipe 100 around the heating pipe 200, the cross section of the heating pipe 200 perpendicular to its extension direction is circular, so that when the water pipe 100 is wound around the heating pipe 200, the water pipe 100 can fit tightly with the heating pipe 200, thereby facilitating the subsequent welding process between the water pipe 100 and the heating pipe 200; and the tight fit between the water pipe 100 and the heating pipe 200 can further facilitate the water pipe 100 to absorb the heat generated by the heating pipe 200. Accordingly, in order to maximize the contact area between the water pipe 100 and the heating tube 200, that is, in order to transfer as much heat generated by the heating tube 200 as possible to the water pipe 100, the diameter of the water pipe 100 is smaller than that of the heating tube 200, thereby increasing the number of turns of the water pipe 100 around the heating tube 200, thereby increasing the length of the water pipe 100; when the water flows through the water pipe 100, under relatively stable flow conditions, the water can be heated for a longer time in the water pipe 100, so that the water can absorb more heat and reach a higher temperature; and, if the temperature that the water needs to reach is set, the water can absorb more heat per unit time, thereby reducing the time for the water to reach the set temperature and the water can be discharged faster.

[0040] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, since the water pipe 100 is welded to the heat transfer aluminum plate 300, that is, the water pipe 100 is fixed to the bottom of the inner tank 500, considering that the water pipe 100 is wrapped around the heating tube 200, in order to facilitate the water flow of the water pipe 100, the two ends of the water pipe 100 are oriented in the same direction, and both ends are set in the direction away from the inner tank 500, that is, the two ends are oriented downward in the vertical direction; therefore, when the water pipe 100 is connected to the overall water channel, the two ends of the water pipe 100 are not easily affected by the inner tank 500 during connection, thereby improving the convenience of the overall structure during installation.

[0041] Reference Figures 3 to 5 Furthermore, in order to increase the total calorific value of the heating tube 200, the length of the heating tube 200 is increased in the present embodiment, and the heating tube 200 is in a ring shape with a fracture, thereby making full use of the area of ​​the bottom surface of the inner tank 500 while increasing the length of the heating tube 200; the fracture of the heating tube 200 is the port for electrically connecting the heating tube 200 to the outside world; the increase in the length of the heating tube 200 can increase the calorific value of the heating tube 200, further increase the upper temperature limit that the water pipe 100 can reach, and shorten the time required for the water in the water pipe 100 to reach the set temperature.

[0042] Accordingly, in order to maximize the length of the water pipe 100 , both ends of the water pipe 100 are flush with the heating pipe 200 , so that the water pipe 100 can maximize its length without affecting the power supply of the heating pipe 200 .

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 5 It should be noted that the liquid heating container proposed by the utility model also includes a water pump 700, which is respectively connected to the inner tank 500 and the water pipe 100. The water pump 700 will provide power for the overall flow path, that is, the water pump 700 will pump the water in the inner tank 500 into the water pipe 100, and then the water will return to the inner tank 500 through the reflux pipe under the action of the water pump 700.

[0044] Combined with the setting of the water pump 700, when the heating mode of the liquid heating container is started, after the heating tube 200 generates heat, the liquid in the water tube 100 will be heated and vaporized, thereby generating steam, and the steam will move to the bottom of the inner pot 500 through the water tube 100 and the water pump 700 under the action of buoyancy and enter the inner pot 500, and the water pump 700 will not hinder the movement of the steam; then the steam will further float to the liquid surface under the action of buoyancy; the steam itself has a high heat, so the steam will exchange heat with the liquid in the inner pot 500 during the floating process, thereby completing the heating of the liquid in the inner pot 500; and during the floating process of the steam, the liquid in the inner pot 500 will be continuously stirred, so that the heat energy of the liquid in the inner pot 500 is more uniform; thus, the heating of the water tube 100 by the heating tube 200 can be used to generate steam, and then the steam can be used to heat the inner pot 500, thereby accelerating the heat transfer efficiency and thereby improving the heating rate of the inner pot 500.

[0045] Furthermore, when the instant heating mode is started in the liquid heating container, after the heating tube 200 generates heat, the water pump 700 is started, so that the water pump 700 will continuously pump the water in the inner tank 500 into the water pipe 100. The water in the water pipe 100 will absorb the heat generated by the heating tube 200, thereby reaching a certain temperature, and will be discharged outwardly under the action of the water pump 700, thereby completing the instant heating of the water.

[0046] The electric liquid heating container proposed in the utility model also includes a main body, and a heating chamber for accommodating an inner pot 500 is formed inside the main body, so that the inner pot 500 can be detachably arranged in the heating chamber, and then it is convenient to take out the inner pot 500 for adding water; in addition, a water outlet pipe 600 is also arranged in the main body, and the water outlet pipe 600 is communicated with the water pipe 100, so that the water heated by the water pipe 100 can be directly discharged through the water outlet pipe 600, thereby completing the instant heating function of the electric liquid heating container.

[0047] In combination with the above description, in order to enable the water outlet pipe 600 to discharge water smoothly, the water pump 700 is arranged on the bottom of the inner tank 500, and the two ends of the water pump 700 are respectively connected to the inner tank 500 and the water pipe 100, so that the water pump 700 will pump water into the water pipe 100, and the water pipe 100 is connected to the water outlet pipe 600, and then the water pump 700 can pump water into the water outlet pipe 600 to complete the water outlet, that is, the water pump 700 can provide power for the water outlet of the electric liquid heating container's instant heating function.

[0048] However, it should be noted that since the water pump 700 is arranged at the bottom of the inner tank 500 and the water pump 700 is connected to the water pipe 100, the water pump 700 is actually located between the water pipe 100 and the inner tank 500; in the instant heating function mode of the electric liquid heating container, the heating tube 200 heats the water pipe 100, and steam is generated inside the water pipe 100. The steam will return to the inner tank 500 through the water pump 700, that is, the water pump 700 will not hinder the reflux of steam.

[0049] In this embodiment, the water pump 700 can be in the form of an impeller pump, and the water pump 700 is not limited to an impeller pump. In order to install the water pump 700, a mounting hole 310 is provided on the heat transfer aluminum plate 300, and the mounting hole 310 is used to make way for the installation of the water pump 700; specifically, the water inlet end of the water pump 700 can be connected to the inner liner 500 through the mounting hole 310, or an interface can be provided on the bottom of the inner liner 500, and the water pump 700 is connected to the interface in the mounting hole 310.

[0050] However, it should be noted that the installation location of the water pump 700 is not limited to the bottom of the inner tank 500, and can also be installed in other locations as long as it can provide power for the entire water channel.

[0051] Accordingly, in order to ensure that the steam generated in the water pipe 100 does not overflow through the water outlet pipe 600 in the instant heating mode, but returns to the inner tank 500, a water outlet valve 800 is provided in the water outlet pipe 600 in the embodiment of the utility model; in the heating mode, the water outlet valve 800 cuts off the connection between the water outlet pipe 600 and the water pipe 100, so that the steam generated in the water pipe 100 can only flow back into the inner tank 500 and cannot overflow through the water outlet pipe 600; and in the instant heating mode, the water outlet valve 800 opens the connection between the water outlet valve and the water pipe 100, and the liquid heated by the water pipe 100 can be discharged through the water outlet pipe 600.

[0052] In this embodiment, the water outlet valve 800 is a solenoid valve, but is not limited to a solenoid valve.

[0053] In combination with the above, the electric liquid heating container proposed in the utility model can generate steam in the water pipe 100, that is, the water pipe 100 can gather more heat generated by the heating tube 200, that is, it can increase the upper limit of the temperature that the water pipe 100 can heat, or in other words, at the same set temperature, reduce the time required for the water pipe 100 to heat water to the set temperature.

[0054] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
