Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of steam frothing equipment, and more particularly to a steam pipe assembly and a steam milk frothing machine. Background Art

[0002] In existing steam frothing equipment, such as steam milk frothers, in order to ensure that the temperature of the liquid to be frothed is within an appropriate range, a temperature probe is usually installed inside the steam pipe for real-time temperature monitoring to ensure the stability and controllability of the milk frothing process.

[0003] However, the temperature probes of existing steam pipes are often directly fixed inside the steam pipes and cannot be removed separately. Since the life of the temperature probes is shorter than that of the steam pipes, the steam pipes need to be replaced as a whole when the temperature probes are damaged, resulting in unnecessary waste of resources and increasing production costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A steam pipe assembly includes a steam pipe and a temperature probe, wherein a first connecting piece and a second connecting piece are provided on the steam pipe, and the temperature probe is detachably connected to the outside of the steam pipe via the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece. The steam pipe includes a first pipe section and a second pipe section that are angled with each other. The temperature probe is arranged along the length direction of the steam pipe, the temperature probe is connected to the first pipe section via the first connecting piece, and the temperature probe is connected to the second pipe section via the second connecting piece. A fixing assembly is provided on the first connecting piece.

[0006] The utility model is further configured as follows: the steam outlet of the steam pipe is opened in the first pipe section, and the first connecting piece is arranged at an end of the first pipe section away from the steam outlet.

[0007] The present invention is further configured as follows: the first connecting member is a clamp, which clamps the steam pipe and the temperature probe; the fixing assembly includes a bolt and a nut arranged at the open end of the first connecting member; and the first connecting member clamps the steam pipe and the temperature probe through the fixing assembly.

[0008] The utility model is further configured as follows: a limiting ring groove is provided on the peripheral side wall of the first pipe section away from the steam outlet, and a limiting block protrudes from the inner wall of the first connecting piece toward the limiting ring groove.

[0009] The present invention is further configured as follows: the second connecting member is a silicone sleeve, the second connecting member is provided with a first through hole and a second through hole, the steam pipe passes through the first through hole, and the temperature probe passes through the second through hole.

[0010] The utility model is further configured as follows: the temperature probe is rotatably connected to the second through hole.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: the first through hole extends from the second pipe section of the steam pipe to the first pipe section.

[0012] The present invention is further configured as follows: the temperature probe is parallel to the steam pipe and there is a distance between the temperature probe and the steam pipe.

[0013] In addition, the present invention also provides a milk frother, comprising the above-mentioned steam pipe assembly.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0015] 1. The temperature probe is detachable and can be replaced when it is damaged. This significantly reduces resource waste and maintenance costs. Furthermore, since the temperature probe is located outside the steam pipe, the risk of direct damage to the temperature probe caused by the high temperature and high pressure environment inside the steam pipe is reduced, thereby improving the stability of the overall system.

[0016] 2. The temperature probe is connected to the first and second sections of the steam pipe through the first and second connecting pieces respectively. Due to the angle, the temperature probe is not easy to rotate, which improves the stability of the temperature probe. When the temperature probe needs to be removed, it is only necessary to loosen the nut, pull the first connecting piece out toward the air outlet, and then separate the temperature probe from the second connecting piece. It is easy to disassemble. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0023] It should also be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] First embodiment:

[0025] A steam pipe assembly, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a steam pipe 1 and a temperature probe 2. The steam pipe 1 is provided with a first connecting piece 3 and a second connecting piece 4. The temperature probe 2 is detachably connected to the outside of the steam pipe 1 through the first connecting piece 3 and the second connecting piece 4. Through this detachable and detachable design, when the temperature probe 2 is damaged and needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to remove the temperature probe 2 and replace it separately, which reduces waste.

[0026] The steam pipe 1 includes a first pipe section 101 and a second pipe section 102 with an angle between them. The first pipe section 101 and the second pipe section 102 have an arc-shaped transition. The temperature probe 2 is arranged along the length direction of the steam pipe 1. The temperature probe 2 is connected to the first pipe section 101 via a first connecting member 3, and the temperature probe 2 is connected to the second pipe section 102 via a second connecting member 4. Since there is an angle between the first pipe section 101 and the second pipe section 102 of the steam pipe 1, after the temperature probe 2 is connected to the two sections respectively, it is not easy to rotate and has high stability.

[0027] A fixing component 5 is provided on the first connecting member 3, and the steam outlet 6 of the steam pipe 1 is opened in the first pipe section 101. The first connecting member 3 is provided at the end of the first pipe section 101 away from the steam outlet 6. By releasing the fixing component 5 and removing the first connecting member 3, the temperature probe 2 can be removed, thereby realizing a detachable connection with the steam pipe 1.

[0028] The first connecting member 3 is specifically a clamp. When the two sides of the first connecting member 3 are covered, the steam pipe 1 and the temperature probe 2 can be clamped and wrapped. The fixing component 5 includes a bolt 501 and a nut 502 arranged at the open end of the first connecting member 3. The first connecting member 3 clamps the steam pipe 1 and the temperature probe 2 through the fixing component 5. The bolt 501 is inserted from one end of the clamp opening to the other end and then tightened with the nut 502. When the clamp needs to be removed, the nut 502 is loosened and then pulled out along the steam pipe 1 toward the steam outlet 6. The clamp does not need to be disassembled.

[0029] A limiting annular groove 7 is provided on the circumferential side wall of the first pipe section 101 away from the steam outlet 6. The limiting annular groove 7 is provided around the circumferential side wall of the steam pipe 1. A limiting block 8 protrudes from the inner wall of the first connecting member 3 toward the limiting annular groove 7. There are two limiting blocks 8. When the first connecting member 3 clamps the steam pipe 1, the limiting blocks 8 will be clamped in the limiting annular groove 7, thereby limiting the axial position of the first connecting member 3 along the steam pipe 1 and further improving stability.

[0030] The second connecting member 4 is specifically a silicone sleeve, and a first through hole 9 and a second through hole 10 are provided on the second connecting member 4. The first through hole 9 and the second through hole 10 are both set through. The steam pipe 1 passes through the first through hole 9, and the temperature probe 2 passes through the second through hole 10, so that the temperature probe 2 is connected to the second pipe section 102 of the steam pipe 1, and the steam pipe 1 is interference fit with the first through hole 9, and the temperature probe 2 is interference fit with the second through hole 10.

[0031] The temperature probe 2 tube is rotatably connected to the second through hole 10. Specifically, the first through hole 9 and the second through hole 10 are both circular tubes, and the cross-sections of the steam pipe 1 and the temperature probe 2 are also circular. When the first connecting piece 3 is removed, the temperature probe 2 can be rotated arbitrarily in the second through hole 10.

[0032] The front end of the second connecting member 4 extends to the first pipe section 101 of the steam pipe 1, and the first through hole 9 also extends from the second pipe section 102 of the steam pipe 1 to the first pipe section 101, so that the second connecting member 4 and the steam pipe 1 are not easily rotated. The second through hole 10 is only located in the second pipe section 102 of the steam pipe 1 to avoid affecting the rotation of the temperature probe 2.

[0033] The temperature probe 2 is located below the steam pipe 1 and is arranged along the length of the steam pipe 1. The temperature probe 2 is always parallel to the steam pipe 1 and has a distance between it and the steam pipe 1. The rear end of the temperature probe 2 is connected to the main control device inside the equipment through a wire.

[0034] The working process of the first embodiment is as follows:

[0035] When the temperature probe 2 needs to be removed, first loosen the nut 502 on the first connecting member 3, pull the first connecting member 3 downward and remove it from one end of the steam outlet 6. At this time, rotate the temperature probe 2 to be offset from the first pipe section 101 of the steam pipe 1 so that the temperature probe 2 will not be blocked when it is pulled out. Finally, pull the rear end of the temperature probe 2 together with the wire out of the second through hole 10 of the second connecting member 4.

[0036] Second embodiment:

[0037] A steam milk frother (not shown) includes the steam pipe assembly described in the first embodiment.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the design concept of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
