DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0028] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, for directional words, such as the terms "center", "horizontal", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise" and the like, indicating directions and positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and cannot be understood as limiting the specific scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0030] The terms "comprises" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus that includes a series of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, product or apparatus.

[0031] A base 1, used for a milk mixer, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the base 1 includes: a water outlet assembly 10 and a milk shaking assembly 20. The water outlet assembly 10 has a water outlet 111 for allowing liquid to flow out. The milk shaking assembly 20 includes a base 30, a rotating drum assembly 40 and a driving assembly 90. The base 30 is connected to the water outlet assembly 10 and is located below the water outlet 111. The rotating drum assembly 40 and the driving assembly 90 are both arranged on the base 30. The rotating drum assembly 40 has a receiving cavity 411 for placing a milk bottle. The receiving cavity 411 and the water outlet 111 are arranged vertically opposite to each other. The driving assembly 90 is suitable for driving the rotating drum assembly 40 to rotate.

[0032] It can be understood that a certain amount of warm water can be injected into the bottle through the water outlet component 10 of the base 1. Furthermore, the milk shaking component 20 of the base 1 can realize the function of automatic milk shaking, so that the brewing of milk powder is more convenient, saving manpower and time, and the base 1 has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost.

[0033] It's worth noting that when a feeding bottle is placed in the accommodating chamber 411 of the rotating drum assembly 40, the accommodating chamber 411 and the water outlet 111 are arranged vertically relative to each other, allowing the bottle mouth and the water outlet 111 to be positioned relative to each other, allowing the water outlet assembly 10 to inject warm water into the feeding bottle through the water outlet 111. In other words, the accommodating chamber 411 serves to position the feeding bottle, allowing the user to easily align the bottle mouth with the water outlet 111, thereby improving operational convenience. Furthermore, after completing water filling, the user tightens the bottle cap, and the base 1 begins to shake the milk without having to move the bottle, further improving operational simplicity and the efficiency of preparing milk powder.

[0034] In some embodiments, as Figure 2-Figure 6 As shown, the rotating drum assembly 40 includes an inner drum 41, a base 50 and an elastic member 60. The inner drum 41 defines a receiving cavity 411 for placing a feeding bottle. The base 50 is connected to the bottom of the inner drum 41 via the elastic member 60. The elastic member 60 is suitable for expanding and contracting along the axial direction of the inner drum 41 to drive the base 50 to rise and fall relative to the inner drum 41. At least a portion of the base 50 extends from the bottom of the inner drum 41 into the receiving cavity 411 to support the feeding bottle.

[0035] It can be understood that when the bottle is placed in the accommodating cavity 411 of the inner cylinder 41, the base 50 is against the bottom end of the bottle, and the elastic member 60 drives the base 50 to move up and down along the axial direction of the inner cylinder 41, so that the bottle can be shaken up and down slightly on the basis of following the rotation of the inner cylinder 41 to produce irregular shaking and swinging, which is conducive to alleviating the problem of milk powder being difficult to dissolve and agglomerating near the center axis of the bottle caused by the conventional single-rotation milk shaking method, thereby improving the efficiency of milk powder dissolution.

[0036] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the inner cylinder 41 includes an annular bottom wall 412 and a connecting shaft 414 protruding downward relative to the bottom wall 412. The connecting shaft 414 is used to connect with the driving assembly 90 so that the driving assembly 90 drives the inner cylinder 41 to rotate. The connecting shaft 414 has a slide groove 4141, and the base 50 can be slidably accommodated in the slide groove 4141; the elastic member 60 is a spring, one end of the spring abuts against the bottom wall 412 of the slide groove 4141, and the other end abuts against the base 50, so that the base 50 slides relative to the connecting shaft 414.

[0037] It is understood that the connecting shaft 414 protrudes downward from the bottom wall 412 of the inner cylinder 41, which not only facilitates the connection between the connecting shaft 414 and the drive assembly 90, but also facilitates the integral molding of the connecting shaft 414 and the bottom wall 412 of the inner cylinder 41, thereby reducing the number of parts and making the structure of the rotating drum assembly 40 simpler and more compact. Furthermore, a sliding groove 4141 is provided in the connecting shaft 414 to accommodate the base 50 and the spring, making the structure of the rotating drum assembly 40 more compact and facilitating the miniaturization of the base 1.

[0038] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the inner cylinder 41 is larger than the outer diameter of the bottle, allowing space for irregular rotation of the bottle. The end surface 51 of the base 50, which protrudes from the accommodating cavity 411, is curved. This helps to cause the bottle to sway centrifugally when the inner cylinder 41 rotates. Furthermore, a support plane 52 is provided at the center of the curved surface, perpendicular to the axial direction of the accommodating cavity 411. This support plane 52 has a relatively small area. When the inner cylinder 41 is stationary, this support plane 52 helps to support the bottle, keeping it approximately upright.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the rotating drum assembly 40 further includes a clamping ring 70 mounted on the inner drum 41. At least a portion of the clamping ring 70 is located within the accommodating cavity 411 and is used to clamp the feeding bottle, thereby reducing collision between the feeding bottle and the inner drum 41 and preventing the feeding bottle from separating from the inner drum 41 during rotation, bumping, or rocking. In other words, by abutting the waist portion of the feeding bottle with the clamping ring 70, the feeding bottle can achieve centrifugal rocking while reducing the risk of collision and damage between the feeding bottle and the inner drum 41, as well as the risk of separation of the feeding bottle from the inner drum 41, thereby improving the safety of the milk shaking assembly 20 during use.

[0040] In some embodiments, the clamping ring 70 includes a fixing portion 71 and a deformation portion 72. A flange 415 extending radially outward is provided at the top of the inner cylinder 41. The fixing portion 71 has a slot 711 adapted to the flange 415 so that the clamping ring 70 is fixed to the inner cylinder 41. The deformation portion 72 extends axially along the inner cylinder 41 and is annularly arranged on the inner circumference of the inner cylinder 41. At least a portion of the deformation portion 72 is suitable for interfering with the bottle to clamp the bottle.

[0041] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the deformation portion 72 includes a first deformation portion 721 and a second deformation portion 722. The first deformation portion 721 extends from the opening of the accommodating cavity 411 into the accommodating cavity 411, and the second deformation portion 722 is located above the first deformation portion 721. The second deformation portion 722 extends from the connection between the first deformation portion 721 and the fixing portion 71 in a horizontal direction toward the center of the accommodating cavity 411. The first deformation portion 721 and the second deformation portion 722 are able to clamp the bottle together.

[0042] In at least one embodiment, the first deformable portion 721 has a V-shaped cross-section, with its opening facing the inner wall of the inner tube 41, and its protruding portion adapted to hold a feeding bottle. Specifically, one end of the first deformable portion 721 is connected to the fixing portion 71, while the other end of the first deformable portion 721 is adapted to move vertically along the inner wall to change the diameter of the protruding portion, thereby adapting to different feeding bottles.

[0043] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the milk shaking assembly 20 also includes a heating assembly 80 arranged on the base 30. The heating assembly 80 includes a fan, a heating element, an air duct 81 and an outer cover 82. The heating element is arranged relative to the fan and cooperates with the fan to generate hot air. The air duct 81 is arranged relative to the air outlet of the fan and is connected to the outer cover 82. The outer cover 82 has an installation cavity 821. The installation cavity 821 is used to accommodate the drum assembly 40. The side wall 413 of the inner cylinder 41 of the drum assembly 40 is provided with a vent 4131, so that hot air can enter the accommodating cavity 411 to heat the milk bottle, so as to play a role in heat preservation, which is beneficial to slow down the decrease in milk temperature during the milk shaking process.

[0044] In some embodiments, the base 30 of the milk-shaking assembly 20 is detachably connected to the water outlet assembly 10. That is, the milk-shaking assembly 20 can be separated from the water outlet assembly 10. Therefore, when there is no need to shake milk, for example, when the infant no longer needs to prepare milk powder, the user can remove the milk-shaking assembly 20 and use the water outlet assembly 10 alone as an instant hot water dispenser. This helps to extend the life of the milk-shaking device and prevent the milk-shaking device from becoming unused when there is no need to shake milk.

[0045] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the water outlet assembly 10 includes a main body 11 and a base 12. The main body 11 has a water outlet 111 for allowing liquid to flow out. The base 12 is connected to one side of the main body 11 and is used to receive and heat the kettle 2. The milk shaking assembly 20 is connected to the other side of the main body 11. It is understandable that the base 12 and the kettle 2 can be inseparable or separately provided.

[0046] In one embodiment, the chassis 12 and the milk-shaking assembly 20 are located on opposite sides of the main unit 11, which helps reduce the size of the base 1 in a direction perpendicular to the arrangement of the milk-shaking assembly 20, the main unit 11, and the chassis 12, thereby making the base 1 more suitable for placement in a narrow space. In another embodiment, the chassis 12 and the milk-shaking assembly 20 are located on adjacent sides of the main unit 11, which helps make the size of the base 1 along the arrangement direction of the chassis 12 and the main unit 11, and the size of the milk-shaking assembly 20 and the main unit 11, closer, thereby preventing the base 1 from being too large in any particular direction.

[0047] A milk mixer, such as Figure 1As shown, the milk mixer comprises the aforementioned base 1 and a kettle 2. The kettle 2 has a chamber 201 for holding liquid. When the kettle 2 is placed on the bottom plate 12 of the water outlet assembly 10 of the base 1, the chamber 201 is adapted to communicate with the water outlet 111 of the main body 11 of the water outlet assembly 10, allowing liquid to flow out of the water outlet 111. It can be understood that the separate arrangement of the kettle 2 and the base 1 allows the user to remove the kettle 2 separately to collect water, thereby improving the convenience of using the milk mixer.
