Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of beverage equipment technology, specifically to a milk-air mixer fixing device and beverage equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In smart beverage equipment, the mixing of cold milk and high-temperature steam is a crucial step in achieving efficient heating and emulsification. Currently, the mainstream approach uses a separate "steam mixing module" for integrated functionality. This module, also known as a milk-air mixer, works by mixing high-temperature steam with cold milk, then heating and emulsifying it to produce a hot beverage. The milk-air mixer's main body is cylindrical, with a complex structure that is difficult to disassemble. Traditional installation methods rely on screws or adhesives, making disassembly, assembly, and cleaning time-consuming and cumbersome. Once fixed, the milk-air mixer is suspended or temporarily placed inside the equipment, making it prone to shifting or loosening during operation, leading to liquid leaks or even malfunctions. Furthermore, it hinders hygiene management; its enclosed structure with many dead corners makes it prone to accumulating dirt and grime, making efficient daily cleaning difficult. Each maintenance requires significant manpower and time, which is inconvenient for store-level users. Utility Model Content
