[0028] The temperature sensor 4 comprises a lead wire 41 arranged in the outer tube 1 and a probe 42 connected to the bottom end of the lead wire 41.
[0029] The nozzle 5 is made of silica gel and is arranged at the bottom of the outer tube 1.

[0031] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows:
[0032] (1) During installation, the nozzle 5 is only required to be assembled with the sealing head 12 after passing through the probe 42, and then the outer thread 61 of the connecting cylinder 6 is threadedly connected to the outer thread 111 of the outer tube 1, so as to realize the installation of the nozzle 5;
[0033] (2) In use, the nozzle 5 is only partially immersed in the milk to automatically produce perfect milk foam. During the production of milk foam, high-pressure steam is delivered to the negative pressure chamber 51 through the steam inner tube 2 to generate negative pressure. Under the action of negative pressure, air enters the negative pressure chamber 51 through the air outer tube 3 and is dispersed into very small air particles by the high-pressure steam. At the same time, milk enters the negative pressure chamber 51 through the milk suction hole 53. The milk, steam and air are preliminarily mixed in the negative pressure chamber 51 and then sprayed into the milk cup through the spray hole 52 for secondary mixing. The milk with high tension wraps the small air particles to form very delicate milk foam. The foam will slowly float to the surface of the milk, and the liquid milk at the bottom of the cup will be completely made into milk foam.
[0034] During the whole process, the milk, steam and air are basically mixed in the negative pressure chamber 51 and basically cannot be sucked into the steam inner tube 2 and the air outer tube 3. The inside of the steam inner tube 2 and the air outer tube 3 is basically free of milk residue, so the use is safer and healthier. The milk is only left in the negative pressure chamber 51.
[0035] (3) When cleaning is needed, the connecting cylinder 6 is rotated off the outer tube 1 and the nozzle 5 is taken out, so that the nozzle 5 can be disassembled to facilitate cleaning of the surface of the nozzle 5 and the sealing head 12.
