Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a milk temperature detector, and in particular detects the average temperature of milk stored in a bottle by stirring it with a motor-driven stirring blade, and calculates the detected value. Display visually or audibly.

[Prior Art] In general, infants are sensitive to heat, and therefore, when breastfeeding infants, it is necessary to provide milk at an appropriately controlled temperature.

Traditionally, the temperature of milk stored in a bottle for breastfeeding is determined by the mother sucking milk from the nipple and sensing it with her tongue while lowering the temperature of the bottle with a stream of water. was given to infants.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, in the conventional milk temperature detection method, the mother subjectively judged the appropriateness of the milk temperature based on the feeling she felt with her tongue.
There was a problem in that the perceived temperature changed depending on the mother's physical condition and mood that day, making it impossible to always give the infant milk at an appropriate constant temperature.

The present invention was developed in view of these conventional problems, and involves stirring milk with a motor-driven stirring blade, detecting the averaged temperature, and visually displaying the temperature on a digital display. The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by creating a structure in which the information is displayed audibly by displaying the information on the screen or by generating a sound.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a cap body that can be detachably attached to the mouth of a bottle;
A cylindrical shaft that protrudes downward from the bottom of the cap body and whose lower part is inserted into the milk stored in the bottle, a temperature sensor that detects the temperature of the milk attached to the tip of the cylindrical shaft, and this temperature sensor. In the milk temperature detector, the cap body is provided with a display section for displaying the milk temperature detected by the cap body, and a stirring blade for stirring the milk in the bottle is provided on the shaft passing through the cylindrical shaft, and
A feature of the present invention is that an electric drive device for rotationally driving the stirring blade is housed within the cap main body.

[Function] Accordingly, in the present invention, a drive device for driving a stirring blade by a motor, a temperature sensor, and a display section are provided in the cap body attached to the mouth of the bottle, and the average temperature of milk stirred by the electric stirring blade is displayed. By detecting this with a temperature sensor and displaying it visually or audibly on the display, it is possible to always give milk at an appropriate constant temperature to the infant.

[Example] Next, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention.

First, to explain the structure, reference numeral 1 in the figure is a bottle with milk stored therein, and a scale 2 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the bottle.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a cap body which is detachably attached to the mouth of the bottle 1 with a screw, and a cylindrical shaft 4 that is inserted into the bottle 1 during attachment is provided at the bottom of the cap body 3 to protrude downward. ing. Cylindrical shaft 4
A shaft 5 passing through the shaft 5 in the axial direction is rotatably supported, and a stirring blade 6 is fixed to the lower end of the shaft 5. and,
A rotating shaft of an electric motor (not shown in the figure) housed in the cap body 1 is connected to the upper end of the shaft 5 so that power can be transmitted, and the stirring blade 6 is rotated at a relatively low speed when driven by the electric motor. It is composed of

Further, at the lower end of the cylinder shaft 4, a temperature sensor 7 is inserted into the milk to detect the temperature of the milk.
has been established.

8 is a digital thermometer that visually displays the milk temperature detected by the temperature sensor 7 as a digital value, and shows a specific example of the display section. 9 is
This is a signal display meter that shows other examples of the display section, for example, the detected temperature range is displayed as "suitable temperature" indicating a temperature range suitable for breastfeeding, "hot" indicating a higher temperature range, and "hot" indicating a temperature range that is also lower. "Lukewarm" indicating area
It is set up in three stages. This makes it possible to visually recognize which of the three preset temperature ranges the milk temperature belongs to.

Further, 10 is a slit for a voice generator (another example of the display section is shown) built into the cap body 1 and not shown in the figure. As the voice generator, for example, a voice synthesis IC or the like can be used, and for example, when a temperature suitable for breastfeeding is reached, a sound is generated as a temperature display means. As a result, a person who wants to breastfeed (for example, a mother) can audibly recognize that the milk temperature has reached the appropriate temperature.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a power supply cover that covers a power supply made of a battery housed in the cap body 1. Reference numeral 12 denotes an operating switch for controlling ON/OFF the power source, the electric motor, the digital thermometer 8, the signal thermometer 9, and the voice generator;
2 rotates the electric motor, and a built-in processing device such as a microcomputer executes processing based on the detection signal from the temperature sensor 7 to operate the digital thermometer 8, signal thermometer 9, and voice generator. Control. The electric motor, battery, operating switch, etc. constitute a drive device for rotationally driving the stirring blade 6.

Note that 13 is a window for releasing warm air inside the bottle 1 to the outside.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

The milk temperature detector according to this embodiment is a bottle 1
After pouring hot milk into the bottle 1 or dissolving powdered milk with hot water in the bottle 1, the cap body 3 is screwed and attached to the mouth of the bottle 1. As a result, the stirring blade 6 and the temperature sensor 7 set at the tip of the cylindrical shaft 4 of the cap body 3 are inserted into the milk.

Next, the operating switch 12 is turned to the ON side.
Then, the stirring blade 6 is rotated by the drive of the electric motor to stir the milk, and the temperature sensor 7 detects the milk temperature averaged by the stirring, and the processing device executes processing according to the detected value. . That is, the digital thermometer 8 displays the actual detected temperature as a digital value, and the signal display meter 9 displays the lamp in the area corresponding to the detected temperature value lit.

When the milk temperature drops to a preset temperature suitable for breastfeeding, the digital thermometer 8 digitally displays the temperature, the "appropriate temperature" lamp on the signal indicator 9 lights up, and the voice generator makes a sound. is emitted to visually indicate that the milk temperature has reached the appropriate temperature. As a result, mothers can use both their visual and auditory senses to determine the "appropriate" milk temperature.
You can recognize what has become.

Therefore, the averaged true temperature of the milk stored in the bottle 1 can be detected, and milk at a suitable temperature can always be given to the infant.

Furthermore, the warm air generated by stirring the milk is released to the outside through the window 13 provided in the cap body 3, and the outside air is introduced through the window 13, so that the milk can be cooled relatively quickly.

In addition, in the above embodiment, an example was explained in which three components, the digital thermometer 8, the signal thermometer 9, and the voice generator, were provided at the same time as the display section, but the present invention is not limited to this, and at least one of these Of course, it is sufficient to have the following.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, according to the invention, since the cap body is provided with a drive device for driving a stirring blade by a motor, a temperature sensor, and a display section, the milk stored in the bottle can be stirred. However, the averaged true temperature can be detected by the stirring, and the effect is that the milk that is always adjusted to a constant temperature suitable for breastfeeding can be given to the infant.
