Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to have the coffee machine of beverage outlet and milk treating unit such as milk froth device, infuse coffee and flow out from this beverage outlet.
Background technology
The especially so-called full-automatic coffee machine of coffee machine has the brewing unit that comprises brew chamber, and the required coffee powder of infusing coffee is positioned at this brew chamber.Beverage outlet links to each other with the outlet of brewing unit.Beverage outlet is positioned at the top of goblet placed side, goblet is placed on the goblet placed side cooks the coffee that soaks that flows out from beverage outlet in the process so that contain at coffee beverage.Beverage outlet is placed on the coffee machine to the beverage outlet adjustable height, so that can adapt to the differing heights of different goblets apart from the distance of goblet.In addition, such coffee machine generally has the milk froth device as milk treating unit in order to cook the coffee milk bland.By means of such milk froth device and by utilizing the vapours that in coffee machine, produces, make milk be gone out by sucking-off from tank, foaming and payment.Such milk froth device is general keep a segment distance ground be positioned at beverage outlet near, wherein, this beverage outlet is used to discharge the coffee that soaks.The milk froth device has steam pipe at outlet side, and this steam pipe is held so that milk froth is introduced the top side of goblet.Under the situation of such coffee machine, in goblet, below beverage outlet, at first contain the coffee that soaks, contain milk froth after subsequently below goblet is displaced to the milk froth device by its generation, otherwise or.Except above-mentioned coffee machine, also known such coffee machine, its milk froth device and above-mentioned coffee machine differently are arranged in the coffee machine.The milk output pipe leads to beverage outlet from the milk froth device.So under the situation of such coffee machine, the while or the goblet that needn't be shifted at least just can be paid out at the milk froth of same beverage and the coffee that soaks.
In a kind of described coffee machine in back, because the milk froth device is placed in the coffee machine, thus just can't not dismantle the milk output pipe by other measures, so that clean and refill subsequently.Although this coffee machine has the corresponding cleaning program, this coffee machine also is not enough to can also carry out gratifying cleaning when using the milk of high lipid content.Even coffee that soaks and milk froth are to have no (so these two kinds of payments in product can contain in a goblet) that pay in proper order the compartment of terrain, but also bring following problem thereupon.As everyone knows, milk and dairy product may trigger allergic reaction, and minimum amount just is enough to trigger allergy.When near the beverage outlet that the coffee that the next-door neighbour soaks is used, arranging the outlet of milk output pipe, though the beverage needs according to sequencing are only paid the coffee that soaks, but for example still can not avoid surplus from the beverage preparation of also paying milk froth last time to splash into goblet fully, perhaps when paying Hot Coffee, the steam that occur this moment condenses on the opening of milk output pipe and splashes into the goblet that is positioned at the beverage outlet below with the remaining milk of dissolving.
Summary of the invention
Therefore,, the objective of the invention is so to improve the coffee machine of the above-mentioned type, with the shortcoming of avoiding pointing out at above-mentioned coffee machine based on described prior art.
According to the present invention, this task is finished by the coffee machine of the above-mentioned type, wherein, milk treating unit is furnished with soft milk output pipe, the milk outlet of this milk output pipe is positioned at it and pays on the side head, at this, in order removably to be fixed on the milk outlet on the beverage outlet, milk outlet and beverage outlet have the connector of complementary fit effect respectively, and this coffee machine has another fixing point, if this milk output pipe is not fixed on the beverage outlet, this milk output pipe especially can be fixed on this fixing point by its milk outlet so.
This coffee machine has soft milk output pipe, and this milk output pipe is connected or can be connected to (it for example is milk froth device or milk heater) on the milk treatment equipment.The milk output pipe is paid the side head at it and is had the milk outlet.The milk outlet of milk output pipe can removably be fixed on the beverage outlet that is used to pay the coffee that soaks.For this reason, milk outlet and beverage outlet have the connector of complementary fit effect separately.This connector for example can be the element that locking connects or clamp the effect of being fitted to each other that connects, and/or magnetic is inhaled the supporting each other element of solid mechanism.Under latter instance, in the milk outlet locking magnet fixture is housed preferably.As supporting connector, beverage outlet or have ferromagnetic component perhaps has the second locking magnet fixture.In this coffee machine, in order to pull down the milk outlet and otherwise the milk output pipe to be fixed on the coffee machine from beverage outlet when needed, made full use of flexibility and this milk output pipe removably connecting on beverage outlet of milk output pipe.For this reason, coffee machine has another fixing point, is used to keep the milk outlet.By means of this fixing point, when containing through the milk of handling (as the back of foaming) and the coffee that soaks in being desirably in same goblet simultaneously, the milk output pipe can mechanically be connected on the beverage outlet of coffee machine with its milk outlet.When the coffee soak and ready milk are irrespectively paid in hope each other, perhaps when wish only to pay separately both one of when (coffee that especially soaks), milk output pipe or the milk outlet that belongs to this milk output pipe are fixed on another fixing point, and do not have the situation of milk outlet next-door neighbour beverage outlet.Another fixing point that is used for fixing the milk output pipe of coffee machine can be designed to the milk output pipe is hung thereon.
According to another design regulation, the outlet of milk output pipe can be fixed on another fixing point in this manner, so that can pay through handling the milk of (for example foaming back) in this position.This second fixing point is so far away from beverage outlet usually,, is arranged on bigger this milk outlet below of goblet no show of diameter to contain the coffee that soaks, beverage outlet below that is.
According to a particularly preferred embodiment, coffee machine has adjustable for height beverage outlet, is used to make the height of this beverage outlet can be matched with the height that is arranged on the goblet under this beverage outlet.In this embodiment, on the adjustable height part of beverage outlet, be equipped with and the supporting connector of milk outlet, therefore the height by adjusting this beverage outlet and by utilizing the flexibility of milk output pipe also can be adjusted this milk and be exported to the distance that is arranged on the goblet under this milk outlet.
