Push button 80 is so that the water yield of cancellation and milk powder amount.

In addition, push button 60 can add at least a nutriment, and push button 70 can alternative supply hot water or cold water.If button 70 is pressed down once, then select feeding cold water.If button 70 is depressed once more, then select to supply with hot water.Especially, when button 70 was selected to supply with hot water, lamp 20 was opened with prompting and is supplied with hot water.When feeding bottle was not in the water receiving position, lamp 50 was opened with the prompting feeding bottle and is not in the water receiving position.Push button 90 can give feeding bottle 100 sterilizations, and lamp 40 is opened with expression feeding bottle 100 and is in the disinfecting process.Sterilization realizes by hot water or ultraviolet ray.Hot water is positioned at the heater heating of water tank below.Ultraviolet ray is penetrated by a uviol lamp that is positioned at the water tank below.In this way, after the water yield and milk powder amount were determined, push button 17 can start automatic milk preparing apparatus.

Certainly, lamp 30 is opened to represent that described automatic milk preparing apparatus is in working condition.

The device of 17, one mobile feeding bottles 100 of push button makes feeding bottle arrive the position of water receiving as robot arm moves back and forth.Fig. 3 has schematically shown moving of feeding bottle.A loading attachment 170 that is loaded with feeding bottle moves back and forth along a moving track 160 by motor 190.Described feeding bottle is positioned at a side, for example on the right side of loading attachment.

By selecting the hot water pattern, a heater 220 that is positioned at water tank 300 belows is as shown in Figure 2 started working, a certain amount of hot water, and for example 200 milliliters flow into feeding bottle 100.

As shown in Figure 2, the top of described automatic milk preparing apparatus has a lid 310.The water tank 300 that is positioned at described lid 310 belows links to each other with described heater 220.Milk powder jar 210 and nutriment jar 230 are positioned at the left side and the right side of described heater 220, so that provide a certain amount of milk powder and nutriment to feeding bottle.Powdered milk discharging means 222 be positioned at described milk powder jar 210 under.

It should be noted that the controlled parts of all needs that comprise heater, powdered milk discharging means, feeding bottle mobile device, lamp or the like are controlled by a controller (not shown) with printed circuit board (PCB).

Below, describing before the step of feeding bottle water filling, will be described in detail water tank 300.Shown in Fig. 5 a, water tank 300 comprises a coupled outlet valve 350, and described outlet valve combines with described lid 310 by a spring 360, and described spring is between outlet valve and lid; A water intaking valve, described water intaking valve is positioned on the main water box 320, is used for the flow rate of the control main water box 320 in conjunction with auxiliary water tank 370.Described water intaking valve comprises the control lever that supported at a middle part 330, a buoy and a taperer 340 that is installed in described control lever 330 other ends that is installed in described control lever 330 1 ends.

Described water intaking valve is designed to control the water yield automatically according to lever principle.Specifically, keep an end of the described control lever 330 of balance that one buoy is installed at the middle part by a support, the other end is equipped with a taperer, and so, according to the water surface elevation in the main water box, buoy moves down along with the come-up of taperer, and vice versa.For example, when main water box 320 is filled water, buoy come-up, meanwhile, taperer moves down towards the water inlet of described auxiliary water tank 370.Thereby water inlet closed until described taperer to sink fully gradually, and the discharge of water reduces gradually simultaneously.

On the contrary, when water was flowed out by described main water box, the water surface descended.Therefore buoy sinks corresponding to the water surface, and taperer rises simultaneously.Consequently, along with the expansion gradually of described auxiliary water tank water inlet, the discharge of water increases gradually.On the other hand, when causing hydraulic pressure to raise owing to the water yield is sufficient, water inlet narrows down.On the contrary, when causing hydraulic pressure to reduce owing to water shortage, water inlet broadens.The present invention is based on this principle and control the supply of water.

For the described water tank according to this principle, when water tank reached constant water plane or higher horizontal plane, horizontal plane made buoy rise, and taperer 340 sinks described control lever 330 maintenance levels.Consequently, the water inlet of auxiliary water tank 370 is closed fully by the described taperer of described water intaking valve.The water that is arranged in described auxiliary water tank 370 offers described feeding bottle by outlet valve 350.When the lid 210 of described main water box 320 was closed, described outlet valve 350 was opened, so that supply water to described feeding bottle.Otherwise when described lid 310 was opened, outlet valve 350 was closed under the effect of spring 360, supplied water to feeding bottle to prevent described auxiliary water tank.

No matter whether the water yield abundance in the water tank, and the structure of above-mentioned water tank can be guaranteed to provide a certain amount of water to feeding bottle under a constant compression force.

Fig. 5 b is a kind of distortion of described water tank.Water tank among Fig. 5 b has an inner tank 385, and the bottom of described inner tank has a undersized outlet 380; And an outer tank 395, described outer tank has a large-sized outlet 390 that is five times in described inner tank outlet at bottom, and described inner tank is placed in the described outer tank.When beginning when described feeding bottle supplies water, be arranged in B water partly by having certain size, for example diameter is 5.5 millimeters outlet 390 discharges.When this discharge was closed, the water that is arranged in A part was by a passage, and for example diameter is that 0.1 millimeter outlet enters the B part, and the water yield in the B part is enough.Because the pressure of water in the B part is depended in the discharge of water, so this just makes the water in the water tank keep a constant basis.In other words, when beginning by the B partial drainage, the water that is arranged in the A part is entered the B part gradually, and is then very little to the influence of B part, and this is too slow because like this water is introduced the B part.

In a word, no matter whether the water yield abundance in the water tank, and said method can be guaranteed to provide a certain amount of water to feeding bottle under a constant compression force.

If something unexpected happened in operating process, then an automatic drainage valve will be opened so that apace water is discharged, and described automatic drainage valve links to each other with a sluicing switch that is positioned at the described automatic milk preparing apparatus back lower place.Therefore, when described sluicing switch was pressed, the water that is arranged in water tank and miscellaneous part was discharged this device by the automatic drainage valve.

As above determined a certain amount of water is injected into feeding bottle, and then milk powder is injected into feeding bottle.This step will be described below.The powdered milk discharging means that is installed in described milk powder jar below as mentioned above is used for the milk powder or the wean food of milk powder jar are injected feeding bottle.Shown in Fig. 4 a, powdered milk discharging means is designed to one and rotates spoon 110 around a turning cylinder 130 rotation counterclockwise, and mobile terminal 120 execution one at this moment move back and forth.This just makes a certain amount of milk powder of collecting in described mobile terminal be injected into feeding bottle.

Specifically, when described mobile terminal when described turning cylinder 130 moves, a certain amount of milk powder that is flowed out by the milk powder jar enters in the groove of described mobile terminal.When described mobile terminal during away from described turning cylinder 130, milk powder collected in the groove of mobile terminal directly flows in the feeding bottle.

Described rotation spoon 110 is used to make milk powder smooth, and milk powder control strip 150 is used for flattening at the milk powder of the groove of described mobile terminal makes it to have a constant height.For example, the milk powder of four full spoons if desired, described rotation spoon rotates four times, reciprocal four times of at this moment described mobile terminal.Therefore, the milk powder of four full spoons is injected into feeding bottle.

Fig. 4 b shows a kind of and above-mentioned different powdered milk discharging means.It is identical on the one hand that powdered milk discharging means shown in Fig. 4 a flows out this at milk powder from described milk powder jar with the device shown in Fig. 4 b.But in Fig. 4 b, at least one spoon 400 that milk powder wherein is housed rotates along given direction, and in a single day described then spoon arrives a unloading portion 410, and the milk powder in the spoon just flows into feeding bottle.

A protective bulkhead 420 that is used as milk powder comprising the space of unloading portion 410.This protective bulkhead can prevent that milk powder from flowing into the space that this comprises unloading portion 410.

In other space except that described protective bulkhead, milk powder is flowed in the spoon 400 by described milk powder jar.The milk powder jar connects groove 430 by one and links to each other with described powdered milk discharging means.

Also have alternate manner milk powder can be injected feeding bottle.Shown in Fig. 4 c, shake the milk powder jar by a vibrator 440, a certain amount of milk powder is flowed out by milk powder jar 210, by a magnetic valve 460 milk powder that flows out is injected feeding bottle.

Shaken the milk powder that makes wherein by the milk powder jar with per second frequency once and flow out, the milk powder amount is controlled by this, and solenoid control is injected into feeding bottle by the milk powder that the milk powder jar flows out simultaneously.

At this, magnetic valve 460 is handled by a solenoid 450 usually.When the equal milk powder of value with user's setting was injected into feeding bottle, the nutriment that puts together with milk powder was almost injected feeding bottle simultaneously.For example, the value scope that is injected into the nutriment in the feeding bottle is that 0.5 gram is to 0.8 gram.

So, the feeding bottle that the user only needs to include milk powder, wean food and/or nutriment is taken away by described automatic milk preparing apparatus, can give infant feeding.

According to the present invention, also provide a kind of safety measure.When feeding bottle during not in the injection phase, proximity sense 88 that is positioned at the feeding bottle below detects not existing of feeding bottle and turns on " nothing " lamp on the control panel.In addition, when tank lid is opened, the acting in conjunction and suspend water supply as mentioned above of spring and dump valve.

In addition, if automatic milk preparing apparatus is stopped using 30 hours or the longer time, because danger such as worry bacterial infections, this device will no longer be worked.

In other words, after the long-time use of automatic milk preparing apparatus, this device is no longer worked.This could use after just reminding this device cleaning of user. The industry property applied flexibly
