Abstract

This invention discloses a milk foam beverage device, comprising a device body, a heating module, a gas supply module, and a processing module. The device body has an internal partition dividing its interior into a containing space and a storage space. The containing space is configured to contain a first liquid, and the storage space is configured to contain a second liquid. The partition has multiple perforations connecting the containing space and the storage space. The processing module is configured to, upon execution of a command, drive the heating module to heat the second liquid and drive the gas supply module to supply gas to the storage space. When gas is supplied to the second liquid and the second liquid is heated, the second liquid transforms into milk foam, which is then supplied to the containing space through the multiple perforations, and the milk foam is incorporated into the first liquid.

Claims

1. A milk frothing beverage device, comprising: A device body has an internal partition that divides the interior of the device body into a receiving space and a liquid storage space. The receiving space is configured to receive a first liquid, and the liquid storage space is configured to receive a second liquid. The receiving space and the liquid storage space are independent spaces. The partition has multiple perforations that connect the receiving space and the liquid storage space. One end of the device body also has an opening that communicates with the receiving space. The device body includes an inner liner element and an outer shell element. The inner liner element has the partition that divides the interior of the inner liner element into the receiving space and the liquid storage space. One end of the inner liner element also has the opening that communicates with the receiving space. The outer shell element covers the outer edge of the inner liner element and is made of heat-insulating material. It is a heating module disposed inside the device body and located at the other end of the device body. A gas supply module is disposed in the inner liner element or the outer shell element of the device body and communicates with the liquid storage space. The gas supply module is configured to supply gas to the liquid storage space. A processing module is connected to the heating module and the gas supply module. The processing module is configured to drive the heating module to heat the second liquid according to an execution command, and to drive the gas supply module to supply gas to the liquid storage space. The liquid storage space is located between the accommodating space and the heating module. When gas is supplied to the second liquid and the second liquid is heated, the second liquid transforms into a milk foam liquid and is supplied to the accommodating space through the plurality of perforations. The milk foam liquid is then incorporated into the first liquid.

2. The milk foam beverage apparatus as claimed in claim 1 further includes at least one uniform cooling module disposed in the apparatus body and adjacent to the opening, the at least one uniform cooling module being connected to the processing module and configured to cool the first liquid, the milk foam liquid, or both.

3. The milk frothing beverage device as described in claim 2 further includes a function selection module disposed on the outer wall of the device body and connected to the processing module, the function selection module being configured to generate the execution command, a function signal, or both based on at least one touch action; wherein, The processing module drives the at least consistent cold module to operate or remain inactive based on the function signal.

4. The milk foaming beverage device as described in claim 1 further includes a power module disposed in the device body and connected to the processing module, the power module receiving electrical energy supplied by an external power supply in a wired or wireless manner, and the power module being configured to supply electrical energy to the processing module.

5. The milk frothing beverage apparatus as described in claim 4, further comprising: A temperature sensing module is disposed in the device body and connected to the processing module. The temperature sensing module is configured to sense the temperature of the first liquid and generate at least one temperature signal accordingly. And a display module disposed on one of the outer walls of the device body and connected to the processing module; wherein, when the processing module receives the at least one temperature signal, the processing module drives the display module to display at least one temperature message.

6. The milk frothing beverage device as described in claim 5 further includes a power detection module connected to the processing module and the power supply module. The power detection module is configured to detect the current power level of the power supply module and generate at least one power signal accordingly. When the processing module receives the at least one power signal, the processing module drives the display module to display at least one power message.

7. The milk frothing beverage apparatus as described in claim 1, wherein, The first liquid is coffee, and the second liquid is milk.

8. The milk frothing beverage apparatus as described in claim 1, wherein, The liquid storage space surrounds the accommodating space, and the cross-section of the liquid storage space is U-shaped.

9. The milk frothing beverage apparatus as described in claim 1, wherein, One of the outer walls of the device body has at least one input hole, which penetrates the device body and communicates with the liquid storage space. The at least one input hole is configured to receive the second liquid supplied by an external liquid supply end.
