Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of milk powder preparation devices, and specifically to a milk preparation device that can be dried by hot air. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most formula makers on the market have the mixing chamber located below the powder box. The powder outlet of the powder box corresponds to the powder drop outlet on the mixing chamber cover. When preparing formula, the formula powder falls from the powder outlet on the powder box into the mixing chamber. The formula powder in the mixing chamber mixes with hot water and then flows out to complete the formula preparation.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN115721158A discloses a milk powder mixing machine that can accurately add milk powder, which includes a shell, a milk powder box, a sealing mechanism, a weighing mechanism, and a central control mechanism. The milk powder box is fixed inside the shell by a limiting block. The milk powder box is connected to the weighing mechanism through the inlet. The sealing mechanism is set on the weighing mechanism. The sealing mechanism and the weighing mechanism are electrically connected to the central control mechanism. The sealing mechanism includes a fixing part, a connecting rod, and a sealing body. The sealing mechanism is used to control the milk powder feeding.
[0004] In the aforementioned prior art, the milk powder container's inlet is connected to a weighing mechanism, and after weighing, a sealing mechanism controls the feeding of milk powder into the mixing chamber. During the milk powder preparation process, the hot water in the mixing chamber generates steam, causing some milk powder to adhere to the inlet, mixing chamber, and connecting parts. If not cleaned quickly and promptly, this can lead to bacterial growth in the mixing chamber and make it difficult to clean. Therefore, the existing technology requires further improvement and development. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing a milk preparation device that is structurally sound, easy to use, clean, and hygienic, and capable of hot air drying.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] This utility model discloses a hot-air drying formula mixing device, comprising a main body, a mixing chamber and a brewing component within the main body, a cover on the mixing chamber, and the brewing component connected to the cover; a hot air component within the main body, an air inlet on the cover, and the hot air component connected to the air inlet. The brewing component allows a measured amount of formula powder and hot water to be added to the mixing chamber through the cover. Since formula powder may adhere to / accumulate on the inner wall of the mixing chamber during addition, and the steam from the hot water further exacerbates this adhesion, the hot air component blows air through the air inlet during the brewing process to disperse the steam in the mixing chamber, preventing the steam from combining with the adhered / accumulated formula powder to form clumps. After the formula is prepared, the formula mixing device begins a self-cleaning process. The brewing component can input hot water to rinse the mixing chamber, and then the hot air component can input hot air into the mixing chamber to quickly dry it and prevent bacterial growth.
[0008] According to the above scheme, the hot air assembly includes an integrated bracket, a heating element, and a cooling fan. The integrated bracket is paired with the chamber cover to form a heat dissipation channel between them. The heating element and the cooling fan are fixedly mounted on the integrated bracket and paired with the air inlet through the heat dissipation channel. The hot air assembly is used to generate airflow that disturbs the mixing chamber. The heating element can heat the airflow. The integrated bracket is mounted on the main body and paired with the chamber cover. The bottom surface of the integrated bracket and the chamber cover form a heat dissipation channel. The airflow generated by the cooling fan can be blown into the mixing chamber through the heat dissipation channel and the air inlet.
[0009] According to the above scheme, the heat dissipation channel includes a fixed position, which is opened on the integrated bracket. The heating element includes a heat-conducting plate, which is covered and disposed on the fixed position. The heating element is attached to the heat-conducting plate, and the heat-conducting plate is provided with an air outlet, which is arranged opposite to the air inlet.
[0010] The integrated bracket serves as the assembly structure for the heat dissipation components. The integrated bracket is fixedly installed inside the main body, thereby allowing the heat dissipation components to be paired and arranged above the compartment cover. The fixing position is opened on the integrated bracket so as to be opposite the air inlet. The heat dissipation channel is formed between the integrated bracket and the compartment cover. That is, the fixing position, heat dissipation channel, air inlet and mixing compartment are arranged and connected sequentially from top to bottom.
[0011] It is understood that the heating element is attached to the heat-conducting plate, and the heating element can heat the air in the heat dissipation channel through the heat-conducting plate. The cooling fan drives the air from the air outlet through the heat dissipation channel and the air inlet, so that the hot air enters the mixing chamber, thereby quickly drying the mixing chamber and preventing bacterial growth.
[0012] The heat-conducting plate has a bent edge, and the entire heat-conducting plate is embedded in the fixed position. The heat-conducting plate is positioned and assembled on the integrated bracket by hooking the bent edge, which makes the assembly relatively convenient.
[0013] According to the above scheme, the cooling fan is equipped with a heat dissipation bracket, which is connected to the integrated bracket by several bolts. The heat dissipation bracket fastens to the heating element, thereby fixing the heating element and the heat conduction plate in a fixed position. Furthermore, the heat dissipation bracket is pressed onto the heating element and is fixedly connected to the integrated bracket by screws and bolts, ensuring a tight fit between the heating element and the heat conduction plate. The cooling fan is mounted on the heat dissipation bracket, allowing air to be blown into the mixing chamber from top to bottom along the heat dissipation channel.
[0014] According to the above scheme, the container cover is provided with a powder inlet, and the brewing component is paired and connected with the powder inlet. The brewing component is used to add a certain amount of milk powder and hot water into the mixing container.
[0015] According to the above solution, the preparation component includes a milk powder box, with an output port and a powder dispensing port paired together, and a metering component is provided on the output port of the milk powder box. The metering component is existing conventional technology and will not be described in detail here. The metering component can control the amount of milk powder dispensed from the milk powder box. Of course, when closed, the metering component can seal the output port of the milk powder box to prevent water vapor in the mixing chamber from entering the milk powder box through the powder dispensing port.
[0016] According to the above scheme, the preparation assembly also includes a water tank and a water pump. The mixing chamber is equipped with a water inlet, and the water tank and water pump are connected to the water inlet sequentially via water pipes. As described above, after a measured amount of milk powder is added to the mixing chamber through the powder outlet, the water tank can provide hot water, or the water pump can draw water from the water tank, heat it, and then input it into the mixing chamber through the water inlet, thereby completing the milk preparation operation.
[0017] Furthermore, after the milk powder is prepared, the water pump cleans the mixing chamber through the water inlet, and then dries the mixing chamber through the hot air assembly to prevent the growth of bacteria in the mixing chamber.
[0018] According to the above scheme, the mixing chamber is funnel-shaped, with a milk outlet at the lower end and a water inlet at the upper end, the water outlet's outlet direction being tangential to the upper end of the mixing chamber. Preferably, the diameter of the funnel-shaped mixing chamber decreases from top to bottom, thus forming a milk outlet at the lower end, which is equipped with a valve. The water outlet's outlet direction is tangential to the upper end of the mixing chamber, and the water flow impacts the inner wall of the mixing chamber, forming a spiral path, resulting in higher efficiency and better uniformity in milk powder preparation. During cleaning, the spiral water flow path within the mixing chamber effectively washes the inner wall, preventing milk residue, and the hot air assembly dries the mixing chamber, thus preventing bacterial growth.
[0019] This invention relates to a hot air drying milk mixing device. During the milk powder preparation process, the hot air component blows air through the air inlet to disperse the water vapor in the mixing chamber, preventing the milk powder from clumping. After the milk powder is prepared, the preparation component can introduce hot water to rinse the mixing chamber, and then the hot air component can introduce hot air into the mixing chamber to quickly dry the mixing chamber and prevent bacterial growth.

[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] like Figure 1-3As shown, the present invention discloses a hot air drying formula mixing device, comprising a main body 1, wherein a mixing chamber 2 and a brewing component are provided inside the main body 1, the mixing chamber 2 is provided with a chamber cover 21, and the brewing component is connected to the chamber cover 21; a hot air component is provided inside the main body 1, and an air inlet 22 is provided on the chamber cover 21, the hot air component being paired with the air inlet 22. The brewing component can add a measured amount of formula powder and hot water into the mixing chamber 2 through the chamber cover 21 for brewing. Since the formula powder may adhere to / accumulate on the inner wall of the mixing chamber 2 during the addition process, especially since the steam from the hot water further exacerbates the adhesion, the hot air component blows air through the air inlet 22 during the brewing process, generating an airflow to disperse the steam in the mixing chamber 2, preventing the steam from combining with the adhered / accumulated formula powder to form clumps. Understandably, once the milk powder is prepared, the formula mixing device begins its self-cleaning process. The mixing component can be fed hot water to rinse the mixing chamber 2, and then the hot air component can be fed hot air into the mixing chamber 2 to quickly dry it and prevent bacterial growth.
[0027] The hot air assembly includes an integrated bracket 3, a heating element 31, and a cooling fan 32. The integrated bracket 3 is paired with the chamber cover 21 to form a heat dissipation channel 11 between them. The heating element 31 and the cooling fan 32 are fixedly mounted on the integrated bracket 3 and are paired with the air inlet 22 through the heat dissipation channel 11. The hot air assembly is used to generate airflow that disturbs the interior of the mixing chamber 2. The heating element 31 can heat the airflow. The integrated bracket 3 is mounted on the main body 1 and paired with the chamber cover 21. The bottom surface of the integrated bracket 3 and the chamber cover 21 form a heat dissipation channel 11 at a distance. The airflow generated by the cooling fan 32 can be blown into the mixing chamber 2 through the heat dissipation channel 11 and the air inlet 22.
[0028] The heat dissipation channel 11 includes a fixing position 33, which is opened on the integrated bracket 3. The heating element 31 includes a heat-conducting plate 34, which is covered and disposed on the fixing position 33. The heating element 31 is attached to the heat-conducting plate 34, and the heat-conducting plate 34 is provided with an air outlet, which is opposite to the air inlet 22.
[0029] The integrated bracket 3 serves as the assembly structure for the heat dissipation components. The integrated bracket 3 is fixedly installed inside the main body 1, thereby allowing the heat dissipation components to be paired and arranged above the cover 21. The fixing position 33 is opened on the integrated bracket 3 so as to be opposite to the air inlet 22. The heat dissipation channel 11 is formed between the integrated bracket 3 and the cover 21. That is, the fixing position 33, the heat dissipation channel 11, the air inlet 22 and the mixing chamber 2 are arranged and connected sequentially from top to bottom.
[0030] It is understood that the heating element 31 is attached to the heat-conducting plate 34. The heating element 31 can heat the air in the heat dissipation channel 11 through the heat-conducting plate 34. The cooling fan 32 drives the air from the air outlet through the heat dissipation channel 11 and the air inlet 22, so that the hot air enters the mixing chamber 2, thereby quickly drying the mixing chamber 2 and preventing the growth of bacteria.
[0031] The edge of the heat-conducting plate 34 is provided with a bent buckle 38. The heat-conducting plate 34 is embedded into the fixing position 33 as a whole, and the integrated bracket 3 is hooked by the bent buckle 38, so that the heat-conducting plate 34 is positioned and assembled on the integrated bracket 3, which is relatively convenient for assembly.
[0032] The cooling fan 32 is equipped with a heat dissipation bracket 36, which is connected to the integrated bracket 3 by several bolts 37. The heat dissipation bracket 36 fastens the heating element 31, thereby fixing the heating element 31 and the heat-conducting plate 34 to the fixed position 33. Further, the heat dissipation bracket 36 is pressed onto the heating element 31 and is fixedly connected to the integrated bracket 3 by screws and bolts 37, so that the heating element 31 and the heat-conducting plate 34 are in close contact. The cooling fan 32 is mounted on the heat dissipation bracket 36, so that air is blown into the mixing chamber 2 from top to bottom along the heat dissipation channel 11.
[0033] The container cover 21 is provided with a powder inlet 23, and the brewing component is paired and connected with the powder inlet 23. The brewing component is used to add a certain amount of milk powder and hot water into the mixing container 2.
[0034] The preparation assembly includes a milk powder container 4, with its output port and powder inlet 23 paired together. A metering component 41 is provided on the output port of the milk powder container 4. The metering component 41 is existing conventional technology and will not be described in detail here. The metering component 41 controls the amount of milk powder dispensed from the milk powder container 4. When closed, the metering component 41 seals the output port of the milk powder container 4, preventing water vapor in the mixing chamber 2 from entering the milk powder container 4 through the powder inlet 23.
[0035] The preparation assembly also includes a water tank 42 and a water pump 43. The mixing chamber 2 is equipped with a water inlet 24, and the water tank 42 and water pump 43 are connected to the water inlet 24 via water pipes. As described above, after the milk powder box 4 adds a measured amount of milk powder to the mixing chamber 2 through the powder outlet 23, the water tank 42 can provide hot water, or the water pump 43 can draw water from the water tank 42, heat it, and then input it into the mixing chamber 2 through the water inlet 24, thereby completing the milk preparation operation.
[0036] Furthermore, after the milk powder is prepared, the water pump 43 cleans the mixing chamber 2 through the water inlet 24, and then dries the mixing chamber 2 through the hot air assembly to prevent the growth of bacteria in the mixing chamber 2.
[0037] The mixing chamber 2 is funnel-shaped, with a milk outlet 25 at its lower end and a water inlet 24 at its upper end, the water outlet 24 being tangent to the upper end of the mixing chamber 2. Preferably, the diameter of the funnel-shaped mixing chamber 2 decreases from top to bottom, thus forming the milk outlet 25 at the lower end of the mixing chamber 2, which is equipped with a valve. The water outlet 24 is tangent to the upper end of the mixing chamber 2, and the water flow impacts the inner wall of the mixing chamber 2, forming a spiral path, resulting in higher efficiency and better uniformity in milk powder preparation. During cleaning, the spiral water flow path within the mixing chamber 2 effectively washes the inner wall, preventing milk residue, and the hot air assembly dries the mixing chamber 2, thus preventing bacterial growth.
