Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee machines, and in particular to an intelligent temperature-sensing steam pipe for coffee machines. Background Technology

[0002] The steam wand is a crucial component connecting the coffee machine's boiler to the milk frothing process. Made of corrosion-resistant and high-temperature-resistant stainless steel, it ensures a stable steam output. Its working principle is simple and efficient: when the water inside the coffee machine is heated to boiling, generating high-pressure steam, the steam is rapidly ejected through the steam wand, instantly forming a fine and rich milk foam upon contact with the milk, adding a silky smooth texture to the coffee. Safety is paramount during use; direct contact of the high-temperature steam with the skin should be avoided. Furthermore, daily maintenance of the steam wand is essential. It should be thoroughly cleaned after each use to prevent milk residue from causing blockages or bacterial growth, ensuring the hygiene and quality of the coffee.

[0003] The current steam pipe has several problems. First, the overall structure of the steam pipe is complex and inconvenient to install. Second, the thermocouple temperature probe is easily damaged and the steam output is uneven. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this utility model proposes an intelligent temperature-sensing steam device, including a steam pipe, a Teflon tube, a thermocouple temperature-sensing probe, a soft rubber stopper for the steam nozzle, and a steam nozzle;

[0005] The thermocouple temperature sensing probe is sealed inside the soft rubber stopper of the steam nozzle by an interference fit;

[0006] The Teflon tube is fitted into the soft rubber stopper of the steam nozzle via an interference fit to form a seal;

[0007] The edge of the soft rubber stopper of the steam nozzle is provided with a stepped ring, and it is set inside the steam nozzle by interference fit;

[0008] The steam nozzle is located at the end of the steam pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the steam nozzle soft silicone plug has three evenly distributed semi-circular holes in the cavity for steam to pass through the steam nozzle soft silicone plug.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the steam nozzle has three evenly distributed air outlets that communicate with the outside.

[0011] Preferably, the air outlet is provided in correspondence with the semi-circular hole.

[0012] Preferably, the Teflon tube is divided into two straight segments, which are at an angle of 150° to 170°.

[0013] Preferably, one end of the Teflon tube is wrapped inside the steam pipe, and the other end extends into the soft rubber stopper of the steam nozzle.

[0014] Preferably, the steam nozzle and the steam pipe are combined to form a steam nozzle cavity, and the soft rubber stopper of the steam nozzle is disposed in the steam nozzle cavity.

[0015] Preferably, the soft rubber stopper of the steam nozzle is tightly bonded to the cavity of the steam nozzle.

[0016] Preferably, the thermocouple temperature probe passes through the center of the soft rubber stopper of the steam nozzle and extends out of the steam nozzle. It is used to detect the steam temperature outside the steam nozzle.

[0017] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. High-temperature steam enters the cavity formed by the soft rubber stopper of the steam nozzle and the top of the steam nozzle through the Teflon tube. At the same time, the soft rubber stopper of the steam nozzle has three evenly distributed holes in the cavity. After passing through the evenly distributed holes of the soft rubber stopper of the steam nozzle, the high-temperature steam is dispersed and then introduced into the cavity formed by the bottom of the steam nozzle and the soft rubber stopper of the steam nozzle. The bottom of the steam nozzle has three evenly distributed air outlets that communicate with the outside. The high-temperature steam is ejected through the air outlets at the bottom of the steam nozzle, heating the surrounding environment.

[0019] 2. The temperature of the surrounding environment of the entire device is detected by a temperature sensor, and the device is controlled by an electronic program to determine whether steam is generated, thereby achieving the purpose of intelligent steam control. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some representative embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1As shown, an intelligent temperature-sensing steam device includes a steam pipe, a Teflon tube, a thermocouple temperature probe, a steam nozzle soft rubber stopper, and a steam nozzle. The thermocouple temperature probe is fitted into the steam nozzle soft rubber stopper with an interference fit to form a seal. The Teflon tube is fitted into the steam nozzle soft rubber stopper with an interference fit to form a seal. The edge of the steam nozzle soft rubber stopper has a stepped ring, which is fitted into the steam nozzle with an interference fit. The steam nozzle is located at the tail end of the steam pipe. The steam nozzle soft rubber stopper has three evenly distributed holes located in the cavity. The bottom of the steam nozzle has three evenly distributed air outlets communicating with the outside. The Teflon tube is divided into two straight segments at an angle of 150° to 170°. The thermocouple temperature probe passes through the center of the steam nozzle soft rubber stopper and extends out of the steam nozzle.

[0026] When needed, high-temperature steam enters the cavity formed by the soft rubber stopper of the steam nozzle and the top of the nozzle through a Teflon tube. The soft rubber stopper has three evenly distributed holes within this cavity. The high-temperature steam is dispersed after passing through these holes and then directed into the cavity formed by the soft rubber stopper and the bottom of the nozzle. The bottom of the nozzle has three evenly distributed vents connecting to the outside environment. The high-temperature steam is then ejected through these vents, heating the surrounding environment. A temperature sensor detects the ambient temperature of the entire device, and an electronic program controls whether steam is generated, thus achieving intelligent steam control.

[0027] This device can heat the environment around the steam nozzle with high-temperature steam while simultaneously detecting the temperature. It is simple, reliable, accurate, easy to operate, and intelligent, and can be widely used in heating scenarios involving liquids and gases to intelligently control the temperature of the medium.

Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
