Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the invention described below may be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict between them.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, a perspective view, an exploded view, and a cut-away view of the milk frothing apparatus 1 after the steam generation module is hidden in the milk frothing apparatus 1 are respectively shown, in which the milk frothing apparatus 1 includes a housing 100, a stirring module 200, a driving module 300, and a steam generation module 400. The housing 100 is a mounting support structure for the above-described structures. The stirring module 200 includes a stirring bar 210; the stirring rod 210 is provided with a through passage 211, and the passage 211 is provided with an air inlet 212 and an air outlet 213. The driving module 300 is mounted to the housing 100 and connected to the stirring rod 210, and is used for driving the stirring rod 210 to rotate, so as to stir the beverage. A steam generation module 400 is mounted to the case 100, for generating steam; the air inlet 212 is used for receiving the steam generated by the steam generating module 400, and the air outlet 213 is used for outputting the steam to the outside of the stirring module 200 to be communicated with the beverage, so that the hot milk foam is produced.
With reference to the above-mentioned housing 100, please refer to fig. 4 and 5, which show a schematic view of the housing of the milk frothing apparatus and a sectional schematic view of the milk frothing apparatus after hiding the stirring module, and the milk frothing apparatus is provided with a first cavity 101 and a second cavity 102; the first cavity 101 is used for accommodating the driving module 300, and the second cavity 102 is used for accommodating the steam generating module 400.
In this embodiment, the housing 100 includes a top wall 110, a side wall 120, and a partition 130. Specifically, referring to fig. 4 and 5, the top wall 110 is a flat plate as a whole; the side wall 120 extends from the edge of the top wall 110 and forms a receiving cavity together with the top wall 110. The partition 130 is disposed on an inner wall of the sidewall 120 and divides the receiving chamber into the first chamber 101 and the second chamber 102. Optionally, the housing 100 includes two partition plates 130, the two partition plates 130 are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the sidewall 120 and cooperate to divide the accommodating cavity into the first cavity 101 and the second cavity 102. Of course, a gap is formed between the two partition plates 130, and the gap is configured to prevent the driving module 300 and the steam generating module 400 from interfering with the housing 100 when the driving module 300 and the steam generating module 400 are installed.
Referring to fig. 3 and 6, the stirring module 200 is configured to partially extend into the beverage, and is driven by the driving module 300 to rotate to stir the beverage, and includes a stirring rod 210. In this embodiment, one end of the stirring rod 210 is indirectly mounted to the bottom of the housing 100 by driving the module 300, i.e. the end of the side wall 120 facing away from the top wall 110; the other end of the stirring rod 210 extends away from the housing 100. The stir bar 210 is provided with a through passage 211, the passage 211 having an inlet 212 and an outlet 213. Wherein, the air inlet 212 is a mouth of the channel 211 near one end of the housing 100, and is used for receiving the steam generated by the steam generation module 400; the air outlet 213 is a port of the channel 211 at an end facing away from the housing 100, and is used for allowing the steam to flow out of the stirring rod 210.
Since the effect of stirring the beverage by only the rotation of the stirring rod 210 is not ideal, in the present embodiment, the stirring module 200 further includes an extension part 220. Specifically, the extension 220 is disposed at an end of the stirring rod 210 facing away from the housing 100, is connected to a side wall of the stirring rod 210, and extends away from the side wall of the stirring rod 210. The extension part 220 expands the radial size of the stirring module 200, so that the stirring range of the stirring module 200 for the beverage can be expanded, and the stirring effect of the milk frothing apparatus 1 can be improved.
Preferably, in order to further expand the stirring range of the stirring module 200, the stirring module 200 further includes a first supporting portion 230 and a first spring 240. Specifically, the first supporting portion 230 extends in an arc shape, one end of the first supporting portion is connected to an end of the extending portion 220 away from the stirring rod 210, and the other end of the first supporting portion extends toward the other extending portion 220 along the circumferential direction of the stirring rod 210. The first spring 240 is sleeved on the first supporting portion 230, and two ends of the first spring are respectively abutted against the two extending portions 220. The arrangement of the first spring 240 further increases the stirring volume of the stirring module, so that the making time of the beverage can be shortened. Alternatively, the stirring module 200 includes two first supporting parts 230, and the two first supporting parts 230 are respectively connected to the extending parts 220. Specifically, the first supporting portions 230 have a first end connected to the extending portion 220 and a second end away from the connected extending portion 220, so that the first ends of the two first supporting portions 230 are respectively connected to the two extending portions 220 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the second ends of the two first supporting portions 230 extend along the circumferential direction of the stirring rod 210 in opposite directions; the first spring 240 is sleeved on the two first supporting portions 230. It is understood that, in other embodiments of the present application, the number of the supporting portions 230 may be one, and the supporting portions extend from one extending portion 220 to the other extending portion 220 along the circumferential direction of the stirring rod 210. The method of mounting the first spring 240 to the first supporting portion 230 is various; for example, after the first spring 240 is compressed, two ends of the first spring 240 are respectively sleeved into the two first supporting portions 230 through a gap between the two first supporting portions 230; for another example, the first supporting portion 230 and the extending portion 220 are detachably connected, and after a first supporting portion 230 is fixed to the extending portion 220, one end of the first spring 240 is sleeved into the first supporting portion 230, and then another first supporting portion 230 is inserted into the other end of the first spring 240 and fixed to the extending portion 220. It can be seen that the method for installing the first spring 240 is very flexible, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
Preferably, in order to further expand the stirring range of the stirring module 200, the stirring module 200 further includes a second supporting portion 250 and a second spring 260. Specifically, referring to fig. 6, the second supporting portion 250 extends in an arc shape, one end of the second supporting portion is connected to an end of the extending portion away from the stirring rod 210, and the other end of the second supporting portion extends toward the other extending portion 220 along the circumferential direction of the stirring rod 210. The second spring 260 is sleeved on the second supporting portion 250, and two ends of the second spring are respectively abutted against the two extending portions 220. The second spring 260 further increases the stirring volume of the stirring module, so that the making time of the beverage can be shortened. Optionally, the stirring module 200 also includes two second supporting portions 250, and the two second supporting portions 250 are respectively connected to an extending portion 220. Specifically, the second supporting portions 250 have a first end connected to one of the extending portions 220 and a second end away from the connected extending portion 220, so that the first ends of the two second supporting portions 250 are respectively connected to the two extending portions 220 in a one-to-one correspondence manner, and the second ends of the two second supporting portions 250 extend in opposite directions along the circumferential direction of the stirring rod 210; the second spring 260 is sleeved on the two second supporting portions 250. It is understood that, in other embodiments of the present application, the number of the second supporting portions 250 may also be one, and the second supporting portions extend from one extending portion 220 to be adjacent to the other extending portion 220 along the circumferential direction of the stirring rod 210. The method for mounting the second spring 260 on the second support portion 250 is various, and reference may be made to the above-mentioned method for mounting the first spring 240, which is not described herein again.
Referring to fig. 5, the driving module 300 is a power module of the stirring module 200, which is accommodated in the first cavity 101 and connected to one end of the stirring rod 210 close to the casing 100, and the driving module 300 is used for driving the stirring rod 210 to rotate. Specifically, the driving module 300 includes a transmission mechanism 310 and a power mechanism 320. Wherein, the transmission mechanism 310 includes a rotating member rotatably mounted on the housing 100, and the stirring rod 210 is mounted on the rotating member; the power mechanism 320 is connected to the transmission mechanism 310 and is used for driving the rotation member to rotate, so as to indirectly drive the stirring rod 210 to rotate.
In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 310 includes a gear set, which specifically includes a driving wheel 311 and a driven wheel 312 engaged with each other. The driven wheel 312 is the above-mentioned transmission member, which is rotatably installed on the above-mentioned housing 100, and one end of the stirring rod 210 close to the housing 100 is installed on the driven wheel 312. Specifically, the transmission mechanism further comprises a connecting component 323 arranged on the driven wheel 312, and the stirring rod 210 and the connecting component 323 are fixed in a magnetic attraction manner; i.e., the agitator bar 210, is mounted to the driven wheel 312 via the connecting assembly 323. In this embodiment, the connecting assembly 323 includes a connecting member 3231 and a magnetic member 3232, which are integrally formed in a cylindrical structure; the magnetic member 3232 is fixed to an end of the driven wheel 312 facing the stirring rod 210, and the connecting member 3231 is fixed to an end of the magnetic member 3232 facing the stirring rod 210. The stirring rod 210 is located on a side of the connecting member facing away from the magnetic element 3132, and it interacts with the magnetic element 3132 to mount the stirring rod on the connecting member 3231, thereby indirectly mounting the driven wheel 312. For example, in some embodiments, the magnetic element 3132 is a magnet, and the end of the stirring rod 210 near the connecting element 3231 is made of a magnetic material, and the two can be fixed by magnetic attraction; for another example, in other embodiments, the magnetic element 3132 is a magnetic material, and the end of the stirring rod 210 near the connecting element 3231 includes a magnet, which can be fixed by magnetic attraction; for example, the magnetic element 3132 is a magnet, and the end of the stirring rod 210 near the connecting element 3231 includes a magnet, which can be fixed by magnetic attraction; for example, in still other embodiments, the magnetic element 3132, the connector element 3231, and the end of the stir bar 210 adjacent to the connector element 3231 are all magnets; not described in detail herein. It should be noted that in other embodiments of the present application, the magnetic element 3132 may be omitted, and in this case, the connecting element 3131 has a magnetic function and is mounted on the driven wheel 312.
Preferably, the milk frothing apparatus 1 is further improved on the stirring rod 210 and the connecting member 3231 in order to ensure that the stirring rod 210 can rotate synchronously with the driven pulley 312 without sliding relative to the driven pulley 312 after being mounted on the connecting member 3231. Specifically, one end of the stirring rod 210 facing the connecting element 3231 is provided with a positioning groove 215, and correspondingly, one end of the connecting element 3231 facing the stirring rod 210 is provided with a positioning protrusion adapted to the positioning protrusion, and the positioning protrusion is inserted into the positioning groove 215, so that the connecting element 3231 and the stirring rod are relatively fixed in the circumferential direction of the rotation of the stirring rod 110. Optionally, the stirring rod 210 is provided with a plurality of positioning slots 215, and the plurality of positioning slots 215 are arranged at intervals around the circumferential direction of the rotation of the stirring rod 210; preferably, the angular intervals between the positioning grooves 215 are uniform along the circumferential direction; correspondingly, the connecting member 3231 has a plurality of positioning protrusions, and each positioning protrusion corresponds to each positioning groove 215. The positioning slot 215 has a first side 2152 and a second side 2151 opposite to each other in the circumferential direction, and preferably, the depth of the positioning slot 215 is gradually increased from the first side 2152 to the second side 2151 (e.g., clockwise as shown); since the positioning grooves 215 and the positioning protrusions may be staggered along the circumferential direction when the stirring rod 210 is coaxially installed on the connecting member 3231, the positioning grooves 215 have gradually changed depths, so that a user can slightly rotate the stirring rod 210 in a reverse direction (for example, counterclockwise in the drawing) to gradually extend the positioning protrusions into the positioning grooves 215, and the process is very stable. It should be understood that even though the positioning groove 215 is provided on the agitating bar 210 and the positioning projection is provided on the connecting member 3231 in the present embodiment; however, in other embodiments of the present application, the positioning groove 215 may be disposed on the connecting member 3231, and accordingly, the positioning protrusion is disposed on the stirring rod.
The driving wheel 311 is also rotatably mounted to the housing 100 and is engaged with the driven wheel 312. The power mechanism 320 is connected to the driving wheel 311, and is configured to drive the driving wheel 311 to rotate, so as to drive the driven wheel 312 to rotate, thereby indirectly driving the stirring rod 210 to rotate. In this embodiment, the power mechanism 320 includes a motor, and an output shaft of the motor is connected to the driving wheel 311; it should be understood that, in other embodiments of the present application, the power mechanism 320 may also be any other mechanism capable of outputting rotational motion, such as a rotary cylinder.
It should be understood that even though the transmission mechanism 310 in the present embodiment includes a gear set, the present application is not limited thereto, and the transmission mechanism 310 may be other mechanisms, but it should be ensured that the transmission mechanism 310 includes a rotating member, and the power mechanism is configured to drive the rotating member to rotate. For example, in other embodiments of the present application, the transmission mechanism 310 may also include a synchronous belt mechanism, a sprocket mechanism or a rack-and-pinion mechanism, and the rotating member is a synchronous wheel, a sprocket or a gear; and are not limited thereto. Similarly, even though the driving module includes the transmission mechanism and the power mechanism in this embodiment, in other embodiments of the present application, the driving module may include only the power mechanism as long as it is ensured that the driving module can drive the stirring rod to rotate.
Referring to fig. 2, 4 and 5, the steam generating module 400 is received in the second cavity 102 and is used for generating steam. Specifically, the steam generation module 400 includes a mounting case 410 and a steam generation unit. Wherein, the mounting case 410 is accommodated in the second cavity 102 and fixed to the housing 100; the steam generating unit is mounted to the mounting case 410, and generates steam. The steam generating module 400 has a function of generating steam, and thus the mounting case 410 is preferably detachably coupled to the housing 100, so that the steam generating module 400 can be timely detached from the housing 100 to periodically supplement the water.
