A matching conduit 2 is provided at the bottom end of the water pump 22. 10 is connected to the connecting pipe 211, and the end of the connecting pipe 210 is connected to the top side of the preheating tank body 1. The connecting pipe 211 is fixedly inserted into the outlet pipe 11, and the end of the connecting pipe 211 is connected to the bottom ring 28. The top of the preheating tank body 1 is connected to the inlet pipe 12 for use. Both the inlet pipe 12 and the outlet pipe 11 are equipped with solenoid valves for use. The use of the inlet pipe 12, the outlet pipe 11 and the solenoid valves provides convenience for the introduction and export of milk. The outlet pipe 11 has a through hole 13, and the connecting pipe 211 is fixedly inserted into the through hole 13. The use of the through hole 13 provides a guarantee for the stable insertion of the connecting pipe 211.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, an appropriate amount of milk to be preheated is introduced into the preheating tank body 1 and the preheating tank body 1, motor 21 and water pump 22 are started. At this time, motor 21 will drive the rotating shaft 23 to rotate, which will drive the rotating tube 24 to rotate, and then drive the stirring plate 25 to rotate, which will further stir the milk to be preheated evenly. At the same time, water pump 22 can use the connecting pipe 211 and bottom ring 28 to introduce the milk in the middle and bottom of the inner cavity of the preheating tank body 1 into the two conduits 210 through L-shaped hole 26, L-shaped hole 27 and inlet hole 29, and guide it to the top side of the preheating tank body 1 through the conduits 210.
[0023] The support mechanism 3 includes a base 31, on which a second motor 32 and a guide cylinder 33 are fixedly mounted. A lead screw 34 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 32, and the lead screw 34 is rotatably inserted into the base 31. A rotating hole 310 is provided through the middle of one end of the base 31, and the lead screw 34 is rotatably inserted into the rotating hole 310. The rotating hole 310 ensures the stable rotation of the lead screw 34. A slide rod 35 is threaded onto the lead screw 34, and a base support 3 is fixedly mounted on the top of the slide rod 35. 6.

Symmetrically distributed stabilizing holes 39 are opened through the base 31, and the stabilizing rods 38 slide through the stabilizing holes 39. The cooperation between the stabilizing rods 38 and the stabilizing holes 39 ensures the stable lifting and lowering of the base 36.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, the second motor 32 is started, which drives the lead screw 34 to rotate, which in turn drives the slide bar 35 to move upward, which in turn drives the base 36 to move upward, which in turn drives the preheating tank body 1 to move upward, and the second motor 32 is turned off when the preheating tank body 1 moves to a suitable height.
[0025] Working principle: When in use, start motor 2 32, which drives the lead screw 34 to rotate, which in turn drives the slide bar 35 to move upward, which in turn drives the base 36 to move upward, which in turn drives the preheating tank body 1 to move upward, and motor 2 32 is turned off when the preheating tank body 1 moves to a suitable height.
[0026] Then, an appropriate amount of milk to be preheated is introduced into the preheating tank body 1, and the preheating tank body 1, motor 21, and water pump 22 are started. At this time, motor 21 will drive the rotating shaft 23 to rotate, which will drive the rotating tube 24 to rotate, and then drive the stirring plate 25 to rotate, which will further agitate the milk to be preheated evenly. At the same time, water pump 22 can use the connecting pipe 211 and bottom ring 28 to guide the milk in the middle and bottom of the inner cavity of the preheating tank body 1 into the two conduits 210 through L-shaped hole 26, L-shaped hole 27 and inlet hole 29, and guide it to the top side of the preheating tank body 1 through the conduits 210, so that the milk in the preheating tank body 1 can be fully and evenly mixed, thereby effectively improving the preheating efficiency and preheating effect of the milk in the preheating tank body 1.
