When enjoying coffee, many consumers tend to add a layer of fine milk foam on the surface of the coffee, which not only gives the coffee a richer taste, but also significantly improves the overall drinking experience of coffee. Although the traditional electric milk frother uses electric stirring to produce milk foam, its structure is relatively complex, especially the milk tank does not have a built-in stirring head, which makes it very troublesome to clean the milk tank, affecting the user experience to a certain extent.
[0003] China Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN202457888U discloses an electric milk bubble device, including a cup body, a cover body engaged with the cup body, a motor is arranged inside the cover body, the motor is connected to a stirring assembly through a transmission assembly, and when the cover body is connected to the cup body, the stirring assembly extends into the cup body from top to bottom. When cleaning is required after use, the cover body and the cup body are separated, and the stirring assembly at the bottom of the cover body is pulled out from the cup body, so that the cup body can be easily cleaned.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned milk frothing device does not have a heating component and has a single function, and can only produce cold milk froth. Therefore, people thought of setting a heating tube at the bottom of the cover body. When the cover body is engaged with the cup body, the stirring component and the heating component can both extend into the cup body from top to bottom. For example, a milk frother disclosed in Chinese utility model patent publication number CN208973456U includes a milk cup and a main body covered on the milk cup, and the main body is equivalent to the cover body of the milk cup; a stirring device and a heating rod are provided at the bottom of the main body, both of which can extend into the milk cup when the main body is connected to the milk cup. However, this milk frother is only provided with a heating rod on one side of the stirring rod, and the heat transfer efficiency is low.
