Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of yogurt maker technology, specifically to an alarm device for insufficient residual milk bag in a yogurt maker. Background Technology
[0002] A yogurt maker is a machine specifically designed for making yogurt. It provides a constant temperature for milk fermentation, typically between 35 and 45 degrees Celsius. In this environment, probiotics multiply rapidly, converting lactose in the milk into lactic acid, thus fermenting the milk into yogurt.
[0003] In existing technologies, some brands of yogurt makers are designed with built-in milk bags to improve ease of use. However, these yogurt makers typically lack an alarm device to detect insufficient milk bag level, preventing users from promptly checking the remaining milk bag and potentially leading to empty bags. This not only affects the normal operation of the yogurt maker but may also pose a safety hazard. Furthermore, existing yogurt makers are inconvenient to maintain. Replacing parts usually requires disassembling the entire machine, increasing maintenance costs and time for users. The external panel also does not support personalized customization. To address these shortcomings, this invention provides an alarm device for insufficient milk bag level inside the yogurt maker, solving the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content
