Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam faucet technology, specifically an anti-scalding steam faucet with an external temperature probe. Background Technology

[0002] Steam faucets are used in many beverage preparation processes. For example, when making coffee with a coffee machine, a steam faucet is used to heat the coffee.

[0003] Existing steam faucets typically have built-in probes, with one end extending from the end of the faucet, and the extension distance (i.e., length) is limited. Because of this limited probe extension distance, the contact area between the probe tip and the liquid being measured is limited, resulting in low efficiency and reliability in temperature measurement, which requires further improvement.

[0004] Furthermore, since the existing probes are built-in, when it is necessary to replace the probe, the entire probe needs to be pulled out of the steam faucet. The probes often have bent parts, which makes it difficult to quickly pull out and insert the probe. This makes it inconvenient to remove the old probe and install the new probe during the replacement process, resulting in poor operational flexibility. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an anti-scalding steam faucet with an external temperature probe, which can solve the problems described in the background art.

[0006] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this utility model is as follows: an external temperature probe type anti-scalding steam faucet, including a universal ball, a steam pipe, a connecting protective pipe and a probe. The probe includes a probe front part and a probe rear part. One end of the connecting protective pipe extends into and is installed inside the universal ball. The steam pipe is installed inside the connecting protective pipe and extends along the extension direction of the connecting protective pipe and is laid in the entire inner cavity of the connecting protective pipe. One end of the probe rear part is located outside the universal ball. The other end of the probe rear part extends from the universal ball into the connecting protective pipe and passes through the connecting protective pipe. One end of the probe rear part that passes through the connecting protective pipe is connected to the probe front part. The probe front part is installed on the connecting protective pipe and is located outside the connecting protective pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, the portion of the probe that extends into the connecting protective tube is positioned parallel to the steam pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, the length of the portion of the probe extending into the connecting protective tube is denoted as the first length, and the sum of the length of the portion of the probe extending out of the connecting protective tube and the length of the probe's front portion is denoted as the second length, where the second length is greater than the first length.

[0009] Furthermore, the connecting protective tube is provided with a perforation, which is located on the side wall of the connecting protective tube near the probe. One end of the probe passes through the perforation and extends out of the connecting protective tube.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a second plug, which is installed on the perforation. The rear part of the probe passes through the perforation and through the second plug, and the rear part of the probe is installed on the connecting protective tube through the second plug.

[0011] Furthermore, the anti-scalding steam faucet also includes a handle, and gloves are placed on the connecting protective tube.

[0012] The anti-scalding steam faucet also includes a first plug, and a support is connected to the handle. The first plug is installed on the support. The rear end of the probe passes through the first plug and is connected to the front end of the probe. One end of the front end of the probe is installed on the support. The support is located on the side of the connecting protective tube near the rear end of the probe and is located outside the connecting protective tube.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting protective tube includes a first connecting part, a second connecting part, and a third connecting part connected in sequence. The first connecting part is connected to the universal ball. The connection between the first connecting part and the second connecting part forms a first bend. The first bend is bent and a perforation is provided on the first bend. The connection between the second connecting part and the third connecting part forms a second bend. The second bend is bent and the handle is provided on the second bend.

[0014] Furthermore, the probe is provided with a first bending section and a second bending section at its rear. Both the first bending end and the second bending end are bent. The first bending section passes through the first plug and is installed on the first plug, and the second bending section passes through the second plug and is installed on the second plug.

[0015] Furthermore, the handle is made of rubber, and the first plug and / or the second plug are made of rubber.

[0016] Furthermore, the hardness of the front part of the probe is greater than that of the rear part of the probe; the front part of the probe cannot be bent, while the rear part can be bent.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By externally mounting the probe's front end to the outside of the connecting protective tube, this invention allows a larger contact area between the probe's front end and the liquid being measured, ensuring accurate and efficient temperature measurement, and improving the efficiency and reliability of temperature measurement. Furthermore, only a portion of the probe's rear end extends into the connecting protective tube, and the rear end of the probe is bendable, making it easy to pass the probe through the connecting protective tube, resulting in more flexible operation and easier probe insertion.

[0018] The handle and connecting protective tube effectively insulate against the heat from the steam flowing through the steam pipe, thus preventing scalding. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an external temperature probe-type anti-scalding steam faucet includes a universal ball joint 1, a steam pipe 3, a connecting protective pipe 4, and a probe. The probe includes a front part 5 and a rear part 8. One end of the connecting protective pipe 4 extends into and is installed inside the universal ball joint 1. The steam pipe 3 is installed inside the connecting protective pipe 4 and extends along the extension direction of the connecting protective pipe 4, covering the entire inner cavity of the connecting protective pipe 4. One end of the rear part 8 is located outside the universal ball joint 1, and the other end of the rear part 8 extends from the universal ball joint 1 into the connecting protective pipe 4 and exits from the connecting protective pipe 4. The end of the rear part 8 that exits from the connecting protective pipe 4 is connected to the front part 5. The front part of the probe is mounted on the connecting protective pipe 4 and is located outside the connecting protective pipe 4.

[0026] For example, the portion of the probe rear 8 that extends into the connecting protective tube 4 is arranged parallel to the steam tube 3.

[0027] For example, the length of the portion of the probe rear 8 that extends into the connecting protective tube 4 is denoted as the first length, and the sum of the length of the portion of the probe rear 8 that extends out of the connecting protective tube 4 and the length of the probe front 5 is denoted as the second length. The second length is greater than the first length, so that most of the probe is located outside the connecting protective tube 4, thereby realizing external probe installation.

[0028] For example, the connecting protection tube 4 is provided with a through hole 9, which is located on the side wall of the connecting protection tube 4 near the probe. One end of the probe rear part 8 passes through the through hole 9 and extends out of the connecting protection tube 4.

[0029] For example, it also includes a second plug 10, which is installed on the perforation 9. The probe rear portion 8 passes through the second plug 10 through the perforation 9, and the probe rear portion 8 is securely mounted on the connecting protective tube 4 through the second plug 10. The second plug 10 serves to fix the probe rear portion 8.

[0030] For example, the anti-scalding steam faucet also includes a handle 2, which is sleeved on the connecting protective tube 4, making it easy to grip the anti-scalding steam faucet.

[0031] For example, the anti-scalding steam faucet also includes a first plug 7, and a support 6 is connected to the handle 2. The support 6 and the handle 2 can be an integral structure. The first plug 7 is mounted on the support 6. The rear part 8 of the probe passes through the first plug 7 and is connected to the front part 5 of the probe after passing through the second plug 10. One end of the front part 5 of the probe is mounted on the support 6. The support 6 is located on the side of the connecting protective tube 4 near the rear part 8 of the probe, and the support 6 is located outside the connecting protective tube 4.

[0032] For example, the connecting protective tube 4 includes a first connecting part 41, a second connecting part 43, and a third connecting part 45 connected in sequence. The first connecting part 41 is connected to the universal ball 1. The connection between the first connecting part 41 and the second connecting part 43 forms a first bend 42, which is bent to achieve a turning transition between the first connecting part 41 and the second connecting part 43. The through hole 9 is provided on the first bend 42. The connection between the second connecting part 43 and the third connecting part 45 forms a second bend 44, which is bent. The handle 2 is sleeved on the second bend 44.

[0033] The first bend 42 and the second bend 44 help prevent the steam pipe 3 installed in the connecting protective pipe 4 from sliding at will. Installing the handle 2 in the second bend 44 also helps to fix the handle 2 and prevent the handle 2 from sliding at will.

[0034] For example, the probe rear portion 8 is provided with a first bent section 81 and a second bent section 82. Both the first bent section and the second bent section are bent. The first bent section 81 passes through the first plug 7 and is installed on the first plug 7, and the second bent section 82 passes through the second plug 10 and is installed on the second plug 10. The first bent section 81 and the second bent section facilitate the installation of the probe rear portion 8 on the first plug 7 and the second plug 10, and also facilitate the probe rear portion 8 to pass through the through hole 9, through the second plug 10, and into the support portion 6.

[0035] For example, the handle 2 is made of rubber, that is, a rubber handle 2.

[0036] For example, the first plug 7 and / or the second plug 10 are made of rubber, that is, rubber handle 2.

[0037] For example, the hardness of the probe front part 5 is greater than the hardness of the probe rear part 8, meaning the hardness of the probe front part 5 is greater than the hardness of the probe rear part 8. Therefore, the probe front part 5 cannot be bent, while the probe rear part 8 can be made of a flexible material, allowing the probe to be bent. For example, the probe rear part 8 can be made of a flexible plastic tube, while the probe front part 5 can be made of metal or rigid plastic.

[0038] This invention, by externally mounting the probe front part 5 to the outside of the connecting protective tube 4, allows the probe front part 5 to contact the liquid to be measured over a larger area, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of temperature measurement, and improving the efficiency and reliability of temperature measurement. Furthermore, only a portion of the probe rear part 8 extends into the connecting protective tube 4, and the probe rear part 8 is bendable, making it easy to pass the probe through the connecting protective tube 4, resulting in more flexible operation and easier probe insertion.

[0039] The handle 2 and the connecting protective tube 4 can effectively isolate the temperature brought by the steam flowing through the steam pipe 3, thus achieving a scalding prevention effect.

[0040] The embodiments disclosed in this specification are merely illustrative of one aspect of the features of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to this embodiment, and any other functionally equivalent embodiments fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various other corresponding changes and modifications based on the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all such changes and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
