Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam milk frother technology, and more specifically, to an automatic temperature-controlled steam milk frother. Background Technology

[0002] A steam milk frother is a device used to make beverages. It uses high-temperature steam to froth milk or cream, creating fine milk foam that adds richness and layers of flavor to drinks such as coffee and milk tea. However, the positions of the water nozzle and steam nozzle in existing milk frothers are fixed. This means that the nozzles cannot be accurately positioned when the milk container is of different sizes or types.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN214284522U discloses a steam milk frother. This utility model incorporates a first universal joint assembly and a second universal joint assembly, which allow the water nozzle and steam nozzle to rotate freely during water dispensing, enabling angle adjustment and making it more flexible in dispensing water and steam. Furthermore, the water nozzle and steam nozzle are wrapped with anti-scalding sleeves to improve their anti-scalding effect, thereby enhancing the usability and practicality of the steam milk frother.

[0004] When the aforementioned steam milk frother is in use, the electric heater heats the water in the steam generator cylinder, and the steam valve is opened, so steam is sprayed out through the steam nozzle. However, when the water level is insufficient, it is inconvenient to automatically replenish the water, which means that the steam milk frother cannot generate enough steam to froth the milk, thus affecting the taste and quality of the beverage. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic temperature-controlled steam milk frother, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

The squeezing assembly includes a horizontal plate, a squeezing frame, two suspension plates, two side plates and two sliding rods. The squeezing frame and the two suspension plates are fixedly installed at the bottom end of the horizontal plate, and the two side plates are fixedly connected to the horizontal plate on opposite sides, and the two side plates are movably sleeved on the two sliding rods, and the top ends of the two sliding rods are fixedly connected to the water tank.

[0007] Furthermore, the front side of the water tank is fixedly connected to two hoses, and each of the two hoses is provided with a foaming assembly on its front side. Each of the two foaming assemblies includes a steam pipe, a steam nozzle, and a second solenoid valve.

[0008] Furthermore, the front ends of the two hoses are fixedly connected to the two steam pipes respectively, the top ends of the two steam nozzles are fixedly connected to the two steam pipes respectively, and the two second solenoid valves are fixedly installed on the two steam pipes respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, a temperature detector is fixedly installed on each of the two steam nozzles, wherein the temperature detector is used to detect the temperature of the beverage.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the two steam pipes is fixedly connected to a connecting column on one side facing each other, and each of the two connecting columns is fixedly connected to a slider at one end facing each other. Each of the two sliders is movably equipped with a lead screw and a limiting rod, and each of the two lead screws is fixedly connected to a stepper motor at its bottom end.

[0011] Furthermore, a mounting frame is fixedly connected to the front side of the main body of the steam milk frother, and the mounting frame is fixedly connected to two stepper motors and two limit rods.

[0013] Furthermore, a storage tray is fixedly connected to the front side of the main body of the steam milk frother, wherein the storage tray serves to place cups.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, when the horizontal plate squeezes the waterproof switch at the top of the water tank, the first solenoid valve closes, preventing water from passing through the inlet pipe. The electric heater heats the water in the tank and generates high-temperature steam. The steam nozzle sprays the steam into the beverage for heating. At the same time, the temperature detector can monitor the temperature of the beverage in real time. When the squeezing frame squeezes the waterproof switch at the top of the partition, the first solenoid valve opens, allowing water to pass through the inlet pipe, facilitating automatic water replenishment and greatly improving the taste and quality of the beverage.

[0016] 2. This utility model uses a stepper motor to drive a lead screw to rotate. The lead screw can drive the slider and connecting column to move downward, thereby moving the steam pipe and steam nozzle downward, and causing the steam nozzle and temperature detector to move into the water cup.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5This embodiment of an automatic temperature-controlled steam milk frother includes a steam milk frother body 1 and a water tank 6. The water tank 6 is fixedly embedded in the rear side of the steam milk frother body 1. A water inlet pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the water tank 6, and a first solenoid valve 8 is fixedly installed on the water inlet pipe 7. A partition 10 is fixedly connected inside the water tank 6. An electric heater 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the partition 10. Waterproof switches 12 are fixedly connected to the top end of the partition 10 and the top end of the inside of the water tank 6. A squeezing assembly 9 is provided between the water switches 12. The squeezing assembly 9 includes a horizontal plate 901, a squeezing frame 902, two suspension plates 903, two side plates 904, and two sliding rods 905. The squeezing frame 902 and the two suspension plates 903 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the horizontal plate 901. The two side plates 904 are fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 901 on opposite sides. The two side plates 904 are movably sleeved on the two sliding rods 905, and the tops of the two sliding rods 905 are fixedly connected to the water tank 6.

[0026] Furthermore, two hoses 4 are fixedly connected to the front of the water tank 6. Each hose 4 is equipped with a foaming component 2. Each foaming component 2 includes a steam pipe 201, a steam nozzle 202, and a second solenoid valve 203. The front ends of the two hoses 4 are fixedly connected to the two steam pipes 201, and the top ends of the two steam nozzles 202 are fixedly connected to the two steam pipes 201, respectively. The two second solenoid valves 203 are fixedly installed on the two steam pipes 201, and a temperature detector 204 is fixedly installed on each of the two steam nozzles 202. The temperature detector 204 is used to detect the temperature of the beverage.

[0027] Furthermore, each of the two steam pipes 201 is fixedly connected to a connecting post 205 on one side facing each other, and each of the two connecting posts 205 is fixedly connected to a slider 206 at one end facing each other. Each of the two sliders 206 is movably equipped with a lead screw 207 and a limiting rod 209. Each of the two lead screws 207 is fixedly connected to a stepper motor 208 at the bottom. The front side of the main body 1 of the steam milk frother is fixedly connected to a mounting frame 3, and the mounting frame 3 is fixedly connected to the two stepper motors 208 and the two limiting rods 209. The front side of the main body 1 of the steam milk frother is fixedly connected to a tray 5, which serves to place cups.

[0028] The process involves placing a water cup on the tray 5 and starting the stepper motor 208. The stepper motor 208 drives the lead screw 207 to rotate. Since the lead screw 207 is threadedly connected to the slider 206, and the limiting rod 209 restricts the rotation of the slider 206, the lead screw 207 can drive the slider 206 and the connecting column 205 to move downwards. This causes the steam pipe 201 and the steam nozzle 202 to move downwards, and the steam nozzle 202 and the temperature detector 204 to move into the water cup. Similarly, the stepper motor 208 reverses to drive the steam nozzle 202 and the temperature detector 204 to move upwards. The positions of the steam nozzle 202 and the temperature detector 204 can be adjusted according to different water cups. The operation is simple and has a wide range of applications.

[0029] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows:

[0030] In use, the external water pipe is connected to the inlet pipe 7 via bolts. The first solenoid valve 8 is opened, allowing external water to enter the water tank 6 through the inlet pipe 7. Two suspension plates 903 float on the water surface, causing the horizontal plate 901 to float as well. As the water level in the tank 6 gradually increases, the horizontal plate 901 begins to move upwards. The two side plates 904 and two sliding rods 905 work together to limit the deflection of the horizontal plate 901. When the horizontal plate 901 presses against the waterproof switch 12 at the top of the water tank 6, the first solenoid valve 8 closes, preventing water from passing through the inlet pipe 7. The electric heater 11 is then activated, and heating begins. Water in water tank 6 generates high-temperature steam, which is then transported to steam nozzle 202 through hose 4 and steam pipe 201. Steam nozzle 202 sprays steam into the beverage for heating. At the same time, temperature detector 204 can detect the temperature of the beverage in real time. When the extrusion rack 902 extrudes the waterproof switch 12 on the top of the partition 10, the first solenoid valve 8 opens, allowing water to pass through the water inlet pipe 7 for automatic water replenishment, which greatly improves the taste and quality of the beverage. When the beverage temperature reaches the set temperature, the second solenoid valve 203 and electric heater 11 are closed by the control module on the main body 1 of the steam milk frother.
