Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of beverage making, and more particularly to a whipping tube assembly and a whipping device. Background Art

[0002] The process of making milk cap involves whipping prepared whipping cream with a certain proportion of air, then whipping it until it expands. During the whipping process, due to the gelatinous nature and surface tension of the ingredients, the air mechanically incorporated into the milk cap is encapsulated by protein molecules, forming a membrane-like foam structure. A key factor in measuring whipping effectiveness is the size of the bubbles formed; the denser the bubbles, the more effective the whipping. In theory, given a constant air intake, the length of the whipping core will affect whipping efficiency; increasing the length of the whipping core can improve it to a certain extent.

[0003] Therefore, current whipping devices on the market generally have longer whipping cores. For example, Chinese Patent No. CN211093543U discloses a whipping device comprising: an electromagnetic pump, a three-way valve, a screw sleeve, and a nipple. The electromagnetic pump is connected to one port of the three-way valve, while the other two ports of the three-way valve are connected to an external air source and an inner container, respectively. The electromagnetic pump is also connected to the screw sleeve, which contains a screw core, with a gap between the screw core and the inner wall of the screw sleeve. The end of the screw sleeve not connected to the electromagnetic pump is connected to the nipple. To ensure whipping efficiency, the screw core of this whipping device is relatively long, resulting in a large device size, large space occupation, and high manufacturing cost. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-7 A whipping tube assembly and a whipping device according to an embodiment of the present invention are described.

[0032] In one embodiment, Figure 1-5As shown, a whipping tube assembly, the whipping tube assembly 8 includes a feed connector 81, a whipping tube 82, a whipping rod 83 and a discharge connector 84; the two ends of the whipping tube 82 are respectively connected to the feed connector 81 and the discharge connector 84, and a whipping rod 83 is provided in the whipping tube 82; the outer wall of the whipping rod 83 is provided with a plurality of axial channels, and the plurality of axial channels are sequentially connected end to end to form a whipping flow channel; the inner walls on both sides of the axial channel are provided with a plurality of relatively staggered protrusions, and the plurality of protrusions divide the inner cavity of the axial channel into a serpentine curved flow channel.

[0033] The whipping rod 83 is cylindrical, the axial channel is an axial groove formed on the cylindrical surface of the whipping rod 83, and the inner wall of the whipping tube 82 is tightly fitted or almost tightly fitted with the outer wall of the whipping rod 83. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the whipping channel is a U-shaped channel that circulates back and forth along the axial direction of the whipping rod 83. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The arrow in the figure indicates the direction of the flow channel. The whipping flow channel is connected to the feed connector 81 and the discharge connector 84 respectively to form a whipping path. The milk slurry material 10 mixed with air moves in the whipping path in the overall direction as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown by the middle arrow, the whipping channel can extend the whipping path exponentially within the same space, resulting in a whipping path that is several times the length of the whipping rod 83. Furthermore, as the milk slurry 10 reciprocates in both directions, a strong compressive force is generated at the inflection point, amplifying the turbulent flow effect, thereby enhancing the whipping effect and improving the whipping efficiency.

[0034] At the same time, if Figure 4 As shown, the multiple protrusions on the inner walls on both sides of the axial channel are relatively staggered, that is, the top of each protrusion is located between two adjacent protrusions, in an interlocking state, and the interlocking position forms a flow channel with a small gap. Under the combined action of the protrusions and the flow channel with a small gap, the large bubbles 11 in the milk slurry raw material 10 can be efficiently collided, squeezed and broken into small bubbles 12, forming a finished milk cap 13, thereby achieving a whipping action. The protrusion can be a rectangular protrusion, a triangular protrusion, or an arc-shaped protrusion, etc. In order to obtain a better whipping effect, a rectangular protrusion is preferably used. In specific implementation, the feed connector 81 and the discharge connector 84 can be customized as needed to adapt to different external connectors.

[0035] In this embodiment, a feed hole 811 is provided in the center of the feed connector 81; a blind hole 831 is provided in the center of one end of the whipping rod 83, which communicates with the feed hole 811. A flow channel hole 832 is provided on the bottom side of the blind hole 831. The flow channel hole 832 communicates with the whipping channel, creating a passageway inside and outside the whipping rod 83. Furthermore, a discharge hole 841 is provided in the center of the discharge connector 84; and a plurality of discharge bosses 833 are provided at the other end of the whipping rod 83. These bosses 833 create a gap between the whipping rod 83 and the discharge connector 84, allowing the milk mixture 10 to flow through. The gap is connected to the discharge hole 841.

[0036] A feed through hole 811 and a discharge through hole 841 are respectively provided in the middle of the feed joint 81 and the discharge joint 84 .

[0037] The specific whipping process is as follows: the milk slurry 10 enters the whipping tube assembly 8 through the feed through-hole 811, flows through the blind hole 831 and the flow channel through-hole 832, and enters the whipping flow channel formed between the inner wall of the whipping tube 82 and the whipping rod 83 for whipping. After the milk slurry 10 and air are fully mixed and whipped in the whipping tube 82, the finished milk cap 13 flows out through the discharge through-hole 841. Figure 2 The middle arrow indicates the flow direction of the milk mixture material 10 mixed with bubbles.

[0038] In another embodiment, Figure 6-7 As shown, the present invention provides a whipping device that can be used in a milk capping machine or a milk frothing machine. It is low-cost, has high whipping efficiency, and is easy to clean. The whipping device includes a feed pipe 1, a valve body 2, an air inlet seat 3, a pump 5, and a whipping tube assembly 8 such as any of the above embodiments; the outlet end of the valve body 2 is connected to the inlet end of the pump 5 and the feed pipe 1 respectively, and the outlet end of the pump 5 is connected to the whipping tube assembly 8;

[0039] The inlet end of the valve body 2 is connected to the air outlet of the air inlet seat 3 , and the air inlet seat 3 is provided with an air hole 31 for air intake.

[0040] Among them, external air enters the air hole 31 of the air inlet seat 3 through the air pipe; the feed pipe 1 is connected to the raw material area containing the milk slurry raw material 10; when the pump 5 is working, it can generate negative pressure to suck the milk slurry raw material 10 and air into the pump, and then transport it to the whipping tube assembly 8 for whipping, and finally the whipped finished milk cap 13 is output by the whipping tube assembly 8 to the beverage area.

[0041] In this embodiment, the whipping device further includes a pump inlet connector 4 and a pump outlet connector 6. The inlet end of the pump 5 is connected to the feed pipe 1 and the outlet end of the valve body 2 via the pump inlet connector 4, and the outlet end of the pump 5 is connected to the feed connector 81 via the pump outlet connector 6. The pump 5 is connected to other components via the pump inlet connector 4 and the pump outlet connector 6, resulting in a simple structure and easy installation and removal.

[0042] In this embodiment, the inlet end of the pump outlet connector 6 is connected to the outlet end of the pump 5, and the outlet end of the pump outlet connector 6 is connected to the feed connector 81. The pump outlet connector 6 is used to transport the milk mixture 10 from the pump 5 to the whipping tube assembly 8.

[0043] In this embodiment, the outlet end of the pump outlet connector 6 is connected to the feed connector 81 via the milk inlet pipe 7, and the discharge connector 84 is connected to the milk outlet pipe 9. The milk inlet pipe 7 is used to connect the pump outlet connector 6 and the feed connector 81, and the milk outlet pipe 9 is connected to the discharge connector 84 to guide the finished milk cap 13 flowing out of the discharge through hole 841 to the beverage area.

[0044] In this embodiment, the whipping device also includes a base plate, the whipping tube assembly 8 is arranged on the top front of the base plate, the pump 5 and the valve body 2 are arranged side by side at the rear of the base plate; the air intake seat 3 is arranged above the valve body 2; the pump inlet connector 4 and the pump outlet connector 6 are arranged on the base plate between the pump 5 and the whipping tube assembly 8, and the feed pipe 1 passes through the base plate from bottom to top and is connected to the inlet end of the pump 5 through the pump inlet connector 4.

[0045] The inlet and outlet of the pump 5 are both located at its front end. The inlet is connected to the feed pipe 1 and the valve body 2 via the pump inlet connector 4. The outlet is connected to the feed connector 81 of the frothing pipe assembly 8 via the pump outlet connector 6 and the milk inlet pipe 7. The outlet connector 84 of the frothing pipe assembly 8 is connected to the milk outlet pipe 9. In a specific implementation, the milk outlet pipe 9 can be configured to pass downward through the bottom plate to facilitate connection to the beverage area.

[0046] The whipping device in the above embodiment has high structural integration by integrating various components on the bottom plate, and can be used in a milk capping machine or a milk frothing machine. It has low cost, high whipping efficiency, and is easy to clean.

[0047] The working principle of the above-mentioned whipping device is: the milk cap whipping action mainly occurs in the whipping tube assembly 8, the inner wall of the whipping tube 82 is almost tightly fitted with the outer side of the whipping rod 83, and the gap between the protrusions 831 on the inner walls on both sides of the axial channel on the whipping rod 83 forms a serpentine curved flow channel.

[0048] Before the milk mixture 10 enters the whipping tube 82, a certain proportion of air is mixed in. This air enters through the air holes 31 on the air inlet seat 3. To prevent continued air intake into the whipping device after whipping stops, resulting in excessive air intake and poor whipping quality the next time, a valve body 2 is installed between the air inlet seat 3 and the feed tube 1. Its opening and closing are synchronized with the whipping action.

[0049] Figure 7The middle arrows indicate the conveying directions of air, milk slurry material 10, and finished milk cap 13 in the pipeline respectively. The conveying power of the milk slurry material 10 mainly relies on the pump 5. The negative pressure generated by the pump 5 when working sucks the milk slurry material 10 and air into the pump. The milk slurry material 10 is pressurized and conveyed to the whipping tube 82.

[0050] Due to the characteristics of the raw material itself, air will form numerous large bubbles 11 within the milk slurry raw material 10. Under the action of external forces such as the pump 5, the milk slurry raw material 10 mixed with the large bubbles 11 flows through the narrow serpentine flow channel at a certain flow rate and pressure. The multiple protrusions and the narrow flow channel work together to impact and squeeze the large bubbles 11 within the milk slurry raw material 10, rupturing them into small bubbles 12, thereby achieving the whipping action and ultimately producing the finished milk cap 13. The other components and operations of the whipping tube assembly and whipping device according to the embodiment of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

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 communication between two components.
