[0023] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0024] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 , a milk foam component, the milk foam component includes a box body 1, a cover body 2 and a warehouse body 4.
[0025] The box body 1 is used to contain liquids such as milk, and the cover body 2 is covered on the box body 1. The milk foam component includes a milk inlet pipe 5, a steam interface 6 and a milk outlet pipe 7. The milk inlet pipe 5 is inserted into the box body 1. The upper side of the cover body 2 forms a mixing groove, and the mixing groove is respectively connected to the milk inlet pipe 5, the milk outlet pipe 7 and the steam interface 6; the warehouse body 4 is detachably connected to the upper side of the cover body 2, and the lower side of the warehouse body 4 is used to close the mixing groove to form a mixing chamber. The milk foam component also includes an air inlet 41, which is connected to the mixing groove, and the steam interface 6 is used to connect steam. The milk foam component also includes an upper cover 3 covered on the outside of the cover body 2. Steam enters the mixing chamber, and sucks milk and air from the milk inlet pipe 5 and the air inlet 41 through the flowing gas, and mixes to form milk foam, and finally sprays out from the milk outlet pipe 7. When it needs to be disassembled and cleaned, it only needs to remove the warehouse body 4, and the entire mixing chamber can be easily cleaned. In this embodiment, the cover body 2 is detachably connected to the box body 1, and the milk inlet pipe 5 and the milk outlet pipe 7 are detachably connected to the cover body 2. Therefore, the box body 1, the cover body 2, the milk inlet pipe 5 and the milk outlet pipe 7 can all be removed for cleaning.
[0026] The upper side of the cover body 2 forms an upwardly protruding rib structure 24, and the rib structure 24 surrounds the mixing groove. The lower side of the bin body 4 is provided with a sealing cushion structure 45, and the sealing cushion structure 45 is pressed against the rib structure to form the mixing chamber. In this embodiment, the sealing cushion structure 45 is made of silicone material, and the rib structure 24 and the sealing cushion structure 45 abut against each other to prevent the mixing chamber from overflowing.
[0027] In this embodiment, an air inlet valve 8 is included, and the air inlet valve 8 forms the air inlet port 41 ; the air inlet valve 8 is detachably arranged on the warehouse body 4 . The air inlet port 41 corresponds to the milk inlet pipe 5 .
[0028] The upper side of the cover body 2 includes one or more first hooks 22 and one or more second hooks 23. One side of the bin body 4 is engaged with the first hook 22, and the other side of the bin body 4 is engaged with the second hook 23. The second hook 23 is an elastic hook. When one side of the bin body 4 is engaged with the first hook 22, the other side of the bin body 4 can rotate around the first hook 22 to engage with the second hook 23. In this embodiment, one side of the bin body 4 includes two spaced-apart snap hooks 42, and the upper side surface of the cover body 2 includes two spaced-apart first hooks 22, the first hooks 22 include an upright wall 221 and a bent arm 222 connected to the upper end of the upright wall 221, and the snap hook 42 can be rotatably buckled on the bent arm 222; the other side of the bin body 4 includes a convex portion 43, and the upper side surface of the cover body 2 includes an elastic hook, which is engaged with the convex portion 43, and the elastic hook can be released from the engagement with the convex portion 43 by external force.
[0029] The steam interface 6 is connected to the silo 4, and the lower side of the silo 4 forms a steam outlet 44 connecting the steam interface 6 and the mixing chamber. The mixing tank includes a steam section 211, a mixing section 212 and a steam outlet section 213. The mixing section 212 is connected between the steam section 211 and the steam outlet section 213. The width of the mixing section 212 is smaller than the width of the steam section 211 and the steam outlet section 213. The milk inlet pipe 5 is connected to the mixing section 212, and the milk outlet pipe 7 is connected to the steam outlet section 213. When the lower side of the silo 4 closes the mixing tank, the steam outlet 44 is connected to the steam section 211, and the air inlet 41 corresponds to the mixing section 212. The steam outlet section 213 is circular, and the steam outlet section 213 includes an outlet 2131. The outlet 2131 is connected to the milk outlet pipe 7. The outlet 2131 and the mixing section 212 are respectively tangentially connected to the steam outlet section 213.
[0030] In this embodiment, the milk outlet tube 7 is rotatably connected to the cover body 2 .
[0031] When in use, the steam interface 6 is connected to steam, and the steam enters the steam section 211 through the steam outlet 44, and enters the steam outlet section 213 through the mixing section 212. Since the width of the mixing section 212 is small, the flow rate of the steam passing through is increased, forming a Venturi effect, sucking milk and air from the box 1 and the outside respectively, and the milk, air and steam are mixed with each other in the steam outlet section 213 to form milk foam, and finally sprayed out from the milk outlet pipe 7.
[0032] When cleaning is needed, the elastic hook is only needed to be pressed to disassemble the bin body 4, and the bin body 4 and the mixing tank can be cleaned as a whole. The above description is only a preferred specific implementation of the utility model, but the design concept of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, uses this concept to make non-substantial changes to the utility model, which is an act of infringing the protection scope of the utility model.
