A commercial milk warmer with temperature control function

Abstract

This invention proposes a commercial milk warming device with uniform temperature control function, including a pot body, a partition, a convex plate, a water bath chamber, an electric heating wire, a connecting port, and a heat insulation plate. The device features a partition; when only one inner pot needs heating, the heat insulation plate creates a smaller water bath chamber, allowing the inner pot to be placed within this chamber for heating. Compared to the previous method of heating the volume of water in a single inner pot, this invention only requires heating the volume of water inside one water bath chamber, thus significantly improving the heating efficiency of a single inner pot.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water bath heating technology, and mainly relates to a commercial milk warming device with uniform temperature control function. Background Technology

[0002] Milk warmers are primarily used in restaurants, rest areas, and cafes, in conjunction with coffee machines; they are readily available when milk is needed for brewing coffee. The milk warmer uses a separate pot and inner pot design, with water added to the pot before placing the inner pot inside. Heating the inner pot with hot water ensures even heating and prevents localized overheating and scorching during the milk warming process.

[0003] Because milk warmers sometimes need to heat multiple inner pots and sometimes only one inner pot, and the water bath chamber inside the pot is generally designed to heat multiple inner pots, the same volume of heat transfer medium (water) needs to be heated when heating multiple inner pots or heating only one inner pot. This results in lower heating efficiency when heating a single inner pot. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to design a commercial milk warming device with uniform temperature control function to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: It includes a pot body and several sets of partitions disposed inside the pot body. Each set of partitions consists of two aligned convex plates. The several sets of partitions divide the interior of the pot body into several water bath chambers. Each water bath chamber has an electric heating wire at its bottom. A communication port is provided between two convex plates. A heat insulation plate is sealed to the side wall of each convex plate. A heat insulation plate for separating two adjacent water bath chambers is also sealed to the side wall of each convex plate. Adjacent water bath chambers can independently heat their inner liner under the action of the heat insulation plate. The heat insulation plate is slidably connected to the convex plates. The top end of the heat insulation plate protrudes from the pot body. The heat insulation plate is made of heat insulation material.

[0006] Furthermore, the back of the pot body is provided with a placement groove for placing the heat insulation plate.

[0007] Furthermore, each of the water bath chambers is equipped with a stirring blade driven by a motor, which is installed at the bottom of the pot body.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the pot body is provided with a support frame, and the side wall of the support frame is provided with several heat dissipation grooves, and the motor is located inside the support frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the water bath chamber is provided in two parts, the connecting port is arranged at an angle, and a baffle is provided in the middle of the connecting port. The baffle divides the connecting port into two circulation ports, and the circulation ports are provided with water circulation components for exchanging the water inside the two water bath chambers.

[0010] Furthermore, the water circulation assembly includes a plurality of propellers distributed in the circulation port and a drive assembly for driving the plurality of propellers to rotate, wherein the water flow generated by the propellers located in the two circulation ports is in opposite directions.

[0011] Furthermore, a helical gear is fixedly connected to the end of the propeller, and the drive assembly includes a rotating rod rotatably connected to the circulation port, a helical gear two fixed to the rotating rod and meshing with the helical gear one, and a motor two for driving the rotating rod to rotate and installed at the bottom of the pot body.

[0012] Furthermore, the rotating rod is located on the side of the propeller that generates suction.

[0013] Furthermore, one end of each of the two rotating rods that passes through the bottom of the pot body is fixedly connected to a gear 1, and the output end of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to a gear 2 that meshes with both gear 1s simultaneously. The motor 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pot body through a support frame.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model is equipped with an isolation plate. When only one inner tank needs to be heated, the heat insulation plate will create a smaller water bath chamber. At this time, one inner tank can be placed in the water bath chamber for heating. Compared with the previous method of heating the volume of water in a single inner tank, this utility model only needs to heat the volume of water inside one water bath chamber, thereby greatly improving the heating efficiency of a single inner tank.

[0020] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0021] Example: Please refer to Figure 1-3 A commercial milk warming device with uniform temperature control function includes a pot body 2 and several sets of partitions inside the pot body 2. Each set of partitions consists of two aligned protruding plates 5. The partitions divide the interior of the pot body 2 into several water bath chambers. Each water bath chamber has an electric heating wire 9 at its bottom. A communication port is provided between the two protruding plates 5. The side wall of the protruding plate 5 is sealed with a heat insulation plate 4 for separating two adjacent water bath chambers. Adjacent water bath chambers can independently heat the inner pot 1 under the action of the heat insulation plate 4. The heat insulation plate 4 is slidably connected to the protruding plates 5. The top of the heat insulation plate 4 protrudes from the pot body 2. The heat insulation plate 4 is made of heat insulation material. Each electric heating wire 9 is connected through a control circuit to achieve uniform temperature control. The heating element 9 can be activated to regulate the heating of different numbers of inner tanks 1. When the heat insulation plate 4 is lifted to a certain position, the two adjacent water bath chambers will be connected, thereby achieving a uniform temperature effect between the two water bath chambers. Therefore, this invention has the functions of regulating and equalizing the heating of the inner tank 1. Specifically, when only one inner tank 1 needs to be heated, a separate water bath chamber is created under the action of the heat insulation plate 4. At this time, the control circuit only needs to control one heating element 9 to work. Thus, compared with the previous water volume, this invention only needs to heat the volume of water inside one water bath chamber, thereby greatly improving the heating efficiency of a single inner tank 1.

[0022] Furthermore, the heat insulation plate 4 and the convex plate 5 can be slidably connected by setting a groove on the side wall of the convex plate 5, with the heat insulation plate 4 embedded in the groove. The sealing method can be achieved by setting a sealing strip at the end of the heat insulation plate 4, thereby separating the water in two adjacent water bath chambers. During isolation, the bottom of the heat insulation plate 4 can also be inserted into the bottom of the pot body 2, thereby improving the isolation effect. In addition, the top of the heat insulation plate 4 is provided with a convex plate 5, which facilitates the lifting and pressing of the heat insulation plate 4.

[0023] Since the electric heating wire 9 is located at the bottom of the pot body 2, the water temperature near the electric heating wire 9 is higher, which affects the uniform heating effect of the inner liner 1. Therefore, each water bath chamber is equipped with a stirring blade 8 driven by a motor 10 at the bottom. The motor 10 is installed at the bottom of the pot body 2. During the heating process, the motor 10 is started, which activates the stirring blade 8, thereby causing the water to flow in a circumferential direction, thus ensuring uniform heating of the inner liner 1 and improving the water bath heating quality of the inner liner 1.

[0024] Since the heating wire 9 will be damaged after prolonged use, the design of multiple heating wires 9 in this invention increases the flexibility of the entire device and prevents the entire device from becoming unusable due to the damage of a single heating wire 9. In one embodiment of this invention, two heating wires 9 are provided, and two water bath chambers are provided. The connecting ports are arranged at an angle, and a baffle 6 is provided in the middle of the connecting ports. The baffle 6 divides the connecting ports into two circulation ports 7, and the circulation ports 7 are provided with components for exchanging water circulation inside the two water bath chambers. Therefore, in commercial applications... In the milk warming device, if one of the electric heating wires 9 is damaged and both inner tanks 1 need to be heated simultaneously, the heat insulation plate 4 can be lifted to connect the two water bath chambers. Then, the undamaged electric heating wire 9 can be activated to heat the water in the two water bath chambers. During this process, the water circulation component exchanges the water inside the two water bath chambers, thereby making the water temperature in the two water bath chambers consistent, thus achieving uniform heating of the two inner tanks 1. This eliminates the previous situation where one or both inner tanks 1 could not be heated due to the damage of the electric heating wire 9.

[0025] The water circulation assembly includes several propellers 14 distributed in the circulation port 7 and a drive assembly for driving the propellers 14 to rotate. The water flow generated by the propellers 14 in the two circulation ports 7 is in opposite directions. A helical gear is fixed to the end of each propeller 14. The drive assembly includes a rotating rod 16 rotatably connected to the circulation port 7, a helical gear 15 fixed to the rotating rod 16 and meshing with the helical gear, and a motor 12 for driving the rotating rod 16 to rotate and installed at the bottom of the pot body 2. Therefore, when the motor 12 starts, the rotating rod 16 will rotate, thereby causing the helical gear 15 to rotate, which in turn causes the helical gear to rotate, thereby driving the propellers 14 to rotate, thus realizing the exchange of water in the two water bath chambers. In addition, when the electric heating wire 9 is not damaged, the propellers 14 can also be used to achieve this. The exchange of water within the two water bath chambers ensures synchronous heating of the two inner tanks 1, improving the temperature consistency of the two inner tanks 1. The rotating rod 16 is located on the side where the propeller 14 generates suction, which is beneficial to the quality of water circulation within the two water bath chambers. Gear 1 is fixedly connected to one end of each of the two rotating rods 16 that passes through the bottom of the pot body 2. Gear 2, which meshes with the two gears 1, is fixedly connected to the output end of motor 2. Motor 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pot body 2 through the support frame 11, thereby achieving synchronous drive of the two rotating rods 16 and thus achieving consistent rotation speed of the two propellers 14. A support frame 13 is provided at the bottom of the pot body 2. Several heat dissipation grooves 3 are provided on the side wall of the support frame 13. Motor 10 and motor 2 are both located inside the support frame 13, which facilitates heat dissipation of motor 10 and motor 2.

[0026] Working principle: When only one inner tank 1 needs to be heated, the heat insulation plate 4 is pressed down to separate the connected water bath chambers. At this time, the control circuit only needs to control one electric heating wire 9 to heat one water bath chamber to achieve heating of one inner tank 1. Compared with the previous water volume, this utility model only needs to heat the volume of water inside one water bath chamber, thereby greatly improving the heating efficiency of a single inner tank 1.
