Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of coffee machines, in particular to a heating water channel system of a household coffee machine. Background Art
[0002] When using a coffee machine to make milk coffee, water needs to be heated to generate steam, which is used to make hot milk or hot milk froth. Currently, home coffee machines on the market often use three boilers: one for coffee and two for steam. Using all three boilers simultaneously results in excessive power consumption, so only the coffee boiler can operate at full power, while the two steam boilers can only operate at partial power. This results in poor steam quality and cannot meet the needs of simultaneously producing hot water for brewing coffee and steam for heating milk. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a heating water system for a household coffee machine, which can meet the requirements of the cast aluminum heater and the steam generator working at full power at the same time, solve the problem of excessive power consumption caused by brewing coffee and making steam at the same time, and overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.
[0004] The technical solution of the present utility model is to provide a heating water system for a household coffee machine, comprising a steam generator, a cast aluminum heater, a water pump, and a water tank. The cast aluminum heater is characterized in that the cast aluminum heater comprises a first electric heating tube, a cast aluminum body, a first flow channel, and a second flow channel. The first and second flow channels are connected in parallel to the water pump. The first flow channel provides hot water to the coffee brewing head, and the second flow channel is connected to the steam generator. Water in the water tank is pumped into the second flow channel by the water pump for preheating before entering the steam generator for heating and vaporization into steam.
[0005] Furthermore, the steam generator includes a front cover, a bottom cover, and a second electric heating tube, and the second electric heating tube is die-cast together with the front cover or the bottom cover.
[0006] Furthermore, spiral grooves are respectively provided on the relative contact surfaces of the front cover and the bottom cover of the steam generator. After the front cover and the bottom cover are combined, the spiral grooves of the front cover and the bottom cover are butted together to form a third flow channel.
[0007] Furthermore, spiral grooves are respectively provided on the relative contact surfaces of the front cover and the bottom cover of the steam generator. After the front cover and the bottom cover are combined, the spiral grooves of the front cover and the bottom cover are butted together to form a third flow channel.
[0008] Furthermore, the third flow channel is a spiral structure.
[0009] Furthermore, the first flow channel and the second flow channel are water pipe tubes coiled into a cylindrical shape, the first electric heater is an electric heating tube coiled into a cylindrical shape, and the electric heating tube of the first electric heater is placed between the first flow channel and the second flow channel.
[0010] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: Two sets of flow channels are provided in the cast aluminum heater. The first channel provides hot water to the coffee brewing head, while the second channel connects to the steam generator. Water from the water tank is pumped into the second channel by a water pump for preheating before entering the steam generator for heating and vaporization into steam. This secondary heating ensures a more sufficient amount of steam, meeting the steam requirements for hot milk production without the need for additional steam heating equipment. In this invention, the steam generator and cast aluminum heater can operate simultaneously at full power, ensuring a stable coffee temperature and achieving a better steaming effect.

[0022] A heating water system for a household coffee machine comprises a steam generator 2, a cast aluminum heater 1, a water pump and a water tank.
[0023] The cast aluminum heater 1 includes a first heating tube 10, a first flow channel 16, a second flow channel 15, and the first electric heating tube 10. The first electric heating tube 10 in the cast aluminum heater 1 is cast together with two sets of water pipes. The heating tube 10 transfers heat to the water in the two sets of pipes, raising the water temperature to the required level. The water in the second flow channel is preheated by the heating tube 10 before entering the steam generator 2 to be heated into steam.
[0024] The steam generator 2 includes a second heating tube 1, a front cover 14, a bottom cover 13, and a third flow channel 12. The second flow channel outlet 5 of the cast aluminum heater 1 is connected to the third flow channel inlet 8 via a Teflon tube 7. Steam preheated by the first heating tube 10 flows through the Teflon tube 7 into the third flow channel 12 of the steam generator 2. The third flow channel 12 is formed by the spiral grooves on the front cover 14 and bottom cover 13 of the steam generator 2. The second heating tube 11 is die-cast with the water flow channel in the steam generator 2. The heating tube transfers heat to the water in the tube, vaporizing it as completely as possible. The steam from the third flow channel outlet 8 can be used to make hot milk or hot milk froth.
[0025] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
