Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fresh milk heating equipment, and in particular to a fresh milk heating device. Background Technology
[0002] Fresh milk refers to milk that has not undergone sterilization, thus retaining its natural nutrients and flavor. For convenient transportation, fresh milk is packaged in bags and sold in some vending machines. Since fresh milk has temperature restrictions, vending machines are generally refrigerated internally for storage.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN221446624U discloses a fresh milk heating device, including a box body. The box body includes a storage unit, a conveying unit, a heating unit, and a display component. The storage unit is located above the box body, below which is the conveying unit, and below that is the heating unit. The heating unit includes a heating platform with a first track. A screw passes through the first track, and a heating plate passes through the screw. Two limiting rods pass through the end of the heating plate away from the screw, with both ends of the limiting rods connected to the inside of the box body. A movable inclined baffle is provided on the heating platform, and an inclined slide is provided on the side of the heating platform away from the inclined baffle. A milk outlet is located below the inclined slide. This utility model, through its movable heating plate and heating platform, can simultaneously heat multiple bags of fresh milk, improving heating efficiency, saving energy, and increasing the speed of fresh milk delivery.
[0004] However, the practice of directly dropping bagged fresh milk onto the heating plate for heating, or pushing it, not only easily damages the packaging of the bagged fresh milk, but also results in an open heating method, where the heating only gradually starts from the side of the bagged fresh milk that is in contact with the heating plate, leading to poor heating effect on the bagged fresh milk. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a fresh milk heating device.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A fresh milk heating device includes a box body and a storage box located inside and above it. A conveyor belt is arranged directly below the storage box. A storage baffle is arranged on the lower side of the storage box. A discharge port for bagged fresh milk to pass through is opened on the storage baffle. A milk outlet is opened on the front side of the box body. A pusher is arranged on the inner wall of the box body. A support plate is arranged at the top of the pusher. A support seat is slidably arranged on the support plate facing the conveyor belt. A base is arranged at the bottom of the box body. A guide groove is opened at one end of the base. A discharge component is arranged in the box body at the guide groove. The discharge component includes a pusher on the inner wall of the box body and a pusher plate at its top. A heating component is also arranged on the base. The heating component includes a heating barrel and a heating wire arranged at the bottom of its interior. A lifting component is arranged above the heating barrel. One end of the lifting component is slidably connected to the support seat. The lifting component can drive the support seat to move back and forth along the height direction of the box body when driven.

[0008] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a pusher on the housing and a movable plate at its top, with the upper side of the support base slidably connected to the lower side of the movable plate.
[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the inner wall of the guide groove is provided with an inclined surface facing the milk outlet, and a first roller assembly is provided on the inclined surface, while a second roller assembly is provided on the bottom of the inner wall of the support seat.
[0010] Preferably, one end of the support base has a hollowed-out groove.
[0011] Preferably, the heating barrel is provided with a partition plate that divides its interior into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. A water pump is provided outside the heating barrel and is connected to the lower chamber of the heating barrel through a water pipe. An air nozzle is provided inside the upper chamber of the heating barrel, and an air pump is provided outside the heating barrel and is connected to the air nozzle.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a heating tank on the base below the conveyor belt, and installing heating wires inside the heating tank in conjunction with water supply, the bagged fresh milk is heated by hot water. Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides more comprehensive and concentrated heating of the bagged fresh milk. At the same time, a roller group two is set under the support seat for placing the bagged fresh milk. When the pusher three drives the push plate to push the bagged fresh milk on the support seat, the contact friction between the bagged fresh milk and the bottom of the support seat is reduced, reducing wear on the bagged fresh milk packaging and preventing the bagged fresh milk from breaking.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a fresh milk heating device includes a housing 1 and a storage tank 2 disposed on the upper part of the housing. It should be noted that the storage tank 2 adopts the technical equipment commonly used by those skilled in the art, and its purpose is to store and transport bagged fresh milk. A storage baffle 4 is horizontally disposed below the storage tank 2. A discharge port 5 for bagged fresh milk to pass through is opened at the upper right end of the storage baffle 4. A milk outlet 6 is also opened on the front side of the housing 1. A conveyor belt 3 is disposed below the right end of the storage baffle 4. The conveyor belt 3 is used to transport the bagged fresh milk that falls from the discharge port 5.
[0025] Inside the housing 1, a pusher 7 is horizontally positioned below the conveyor belt 3. A support plate 8 is positioned at the top of the pusher 7. A U-shaped support seat 9 is vertically slidably positioned on the side of the support plate 8 facing the conveyor belt. The support seat 9 is located at the left end of the conveyor belt 3, and several sets of perforated grooves 24 are formed at the end of the support seat 9 furthest from the conveyor belt 3 to improve ventilation. An L-shaped movable plate 20 is positioned on the upper side of the support seat 9, with one end of the movable plate 20 extending out of the housing 1. A pusher 19 is positioned outside the housing 1 and connected to the movable plate 20. The upper side of the support seat 9 is horizontally slidably connected to the movable plate 20. A base 10 is positioned at the bottom of the interior of the housing 1. Figure 2As shown, a guide groove 11 is provided on the upper left side of the base 10. An inclined surface 21 is provided on the bottom of the inner wall of the guide groove 11 facing the milk outlet 6. A roller assembly 22 is provided on the inclined surface 21, and a roller assembly 23 is provided on the bottom of the inner wall of the support seat 9. The purpose is to reduce the contact friction between the bagged fresh milk and the inclined surface 21 and the bottom of the inner wall of the support seat 9. A discharge assembly is provided at the guide groove 11. The discharge assembly includes a pusher 12 provided on the inner wall of the box 1 and a pusher plate 13 provided on its top. The pusher 12 is placed horizontally along the width direction of the box 1. A heating tank 14 is provided inside the box 1 between the guide groove 11 and the conveyor belt 3. The heating tank 14 is placed on the base 10. A partition plate 28 is provided inside the heating tank 14 to divide its interior into an upper cavity 25 and a lower cavity 26. In this embodiment, The partition plate 28 is a hollow cone shape with the top removed. A heating wire 15 is installed inside the lower cavity 26, and a jet nozzle 27 is installed inside the upper cavity 25. In this embodiment, several sets of jet nozzles 27 are provided and distributed along the circumferential direction of the inner diameter of the heating barrel 14. An air pump (not shown in the figure) is provided outside the heating barrel 14. The air pump is connected to the jet nozzles 27, and a heating element (not shown in the figure) is provided at the output end of the air pump so that the jet nozzles 27 spray hot air. The heating element adopts the technical components commonly used by those skilled in the art. It consists of an insulation shell and a heating rod installed inside it. The gas enters the insulation shell and is heated by the heating rod before being output from the jet nozzles 27. A water pump (not shown in the figure) is also provided outside the heating barrel 14. The water pump is connected to the lower cavity 26 of the heating barrel 14 through a water pipe.
[0026] like Figures 4 to 5 As shown, a motor 16 is provided on the upper side wall of the support base 9. The output shaft of the motor 16 is fitted with a drive plate 17. A pressure plate 18 is provided at the front end of the drive plate 17. In this embodiment, there are two sets of drive plates 17, which are arranged opposite each other on the left and right. The rear ends of both are driven by the output shaft of the motor 16. The outer wall of the pressure plate 18 is uneven, which is intended to increase the contact friction with the outer packaging of bagged fresh milk.
[0027] The lower chamber 26 of the heating tank 14 contains warm water at a certain temperature, and the heating wire 15 heats intermittently to ensure that the water inside the lower chamber 26 of the heating tank 14 is warm.
[0028] When a user needs to retrieve bagged fresh milk, heating wire 15 begins to heat the warm water inside the lower chamber 26 of heating tank 14 at high temperature. The bagged fresh milk is first delivered from storage tank 2 and falls onto conveyor belt 3 from outlet 5. It should be noted that in this embodiment, an arc-shaped guide block (not shown in the attached diagram) is provided inside the tank 1 directly above conveyor belt 3. This guide block is used to guide the bagged fresh milk falling from outlet 5 onto conveyor belt 3 more smoothly and to adjust the position of the bagged fresh milk from conveyor belt 3, ensuring that it falls accurately into support seat 9 at the left end of conveyor belt 3. After being conveyed to the left end by conveyor belt 3, the bagged fresh milk falls into the support seat 9. The control system then controls motor 16 to rotate forward, driving plate 17 to rotate around the central axis of motor 16's output shaft. Pressure plate 18 moves synchronously, pressing the two ends of the bagged fresh milk inside support base 9 to fix its position. Then, pusher 7 extends, using support plate 8 to move support base 9 away from conveyor belt 3, moving it to the upper part of the heating tank 14. Pusher 7 stops extending, and pusher 12 extends synchronously, using moving plate 20 to move support base 9 vertically downwards along the height of support plate 8. Support base 9 detaches from support plate 8 and enters the lower cavity 26 of heating tank 14, where the bagged fresh milk is heated. Heating provides a more concentrated heating effect on bagged fresh milk. It should be noted that the support base 9 is not completely submerged in the hot water; its upper part, including the section housing the motor 16, lies above the hot water. A protective shell (not shown in the attached diagram) covers the motor 16 to prevent hot water and high-temperature gas from seeping into it. After heating for a certain period, the pusher component 12 retracts synchronously and moves to the upper chamber 25. The nozzle 27 begins to spray hot air, both to dry the water droplets adhering to the bagged fresh milk and to further heat it. The support base 9 remains in both the lower chamber 26 and the upper chamber 25 for a period of time before the pusher component 12 resets, and the support base 9 re-engages with the hot water. When the support plate 8 is slidably connected, the pusher 7 continues to extend, so that the support seat 9 is positioned above the guide groove 11. The pusher 13 is opposite to the side notch of the support seat 9 (not shown in the attached figure). The pusher 7 stops extending, the motor 16 starts to reverse, and drives the pressure plate 18 to press the bagged fresh milk in the support seat 9. The pusher 19 starts to extend, and the pusher 13 enters the support seat 9 from the side notch and pushes the bagged fresh milk inside, pushing the bagged fresh milk out of the support seat 9 and into the guide groove 11. With the cooperation of the inclined surface 21 of the guide groove 11 and the roller group 22, it slides down to the milk outlet 6, where the user can take it out.
[0029] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the sliding connection between the support plate 8 and the support base 9 adopts a concave-convex sliding fit. The support plate 8 is provided with a sliding groove along its height direction (not shown in the figure), and the support base 9 is provided with a sliding strip (not shown in the figure) that is slidably connected to the sliding groove, so as to achieve the purpose of the support plate 8 driving the support base 9 to move together.
[0030] In this embodiment, pusher 1 7, pusher 2 12, and pusher 3 19 are all cylinders.
[0031] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any simple modifications to the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
