Definitions

• the invention relates to a device for the thermal pretreatment of liquids for baby food, e.g. Water or milk, with a heating container for boiling the liquid and a cooling device with at least one fan.
• liquids for baby food e.g. Water or milk
• the radiator and the cooling device are arranged within a conduit which conducts the liquid and which connects a water reservoir to a baby bottle .
• the heating device must be designed as a high-performance instantaneous water heater. Therefore, additional measures have to be taken to dissipate the heat generated.
• the boiled liquid is then passed through a cooling system to which cooling air is applied.
• the cooling system must be extremely effective and therefore also complex. As a result, the device cannot be installed in the smallest space within a housing.
• DE 35 11 159 A1 describes a device and a method for the automatic provision of small child food, in which the cooler is arranged within the line, which holds the water container with the baby bottle connects. In this case, too, there is the problem of rapid cooling, since the liquid supplied in the baby bottle must already have cooled to the intended temperature (approximately 35 ° C.).
• CH 456 858 discloses a device for processing liquid, in which the boiled liquid is transferred to a container, where the temperature is reduced, and then fed to the baby bottle. This device also takes up a considerable amount of space and does not allow boiled water to be boiled and cooled in the shortest possible time.
• the invention has for its object to further develop the generic device without undue design effort so that the liquid can be boiled within a very short time and then cooled to the desired temperature.
• the cooling Lei nri device is a heat-emitting agent and can be supplied with blowing air cooling container made of heat-conducting material, in the receiving space of which the outlet opening of the heating container is directed.
• the invention is implemented if the boiled liquid is passed directly and without additional feed line into the cooling container and at the same time is subjected to cooling air. Both the cooling container and the liquid flowing into it are subjected to cooling air and their heat is thus dissipated. Further expedient and advantageous embodiments of the invention emerge from the subclaims.
• a particularly expedient embodiment provides that the heating container is arranged above the cooling container, a continuous air gap being present between the heating container and the cooling container. This measure ensures that the free-flowing liquid escaping from the heating container is also acted upon by cooling air.
• the means are designed as cooling fins extending in the direction of flow.
• the cooling device is arranged in a housing with air inlet and air outlet openings. This measure ensures that the air flows particularly quickly through the interior of the housing and can thus dissipate the heat.
• the cooling container has guide means which cooperate with counter-guide means of the housing, and ⁇ can be inserted into or removed from the housing. It is advantageous if the cooling container is housed in its effective state in the housing so that the air can only flow out through the air inlet and air outlet openings.
• the heating container has electrically heatable radiators and an outlet opening which are arranged in the bottom region of the heating container, which on the one hand allows quick treatment of the liquid and on the other hand enables problem-free escape of the liquid from the heating container.
• FIG. 2 shows a variant of the device according to FIG. 1 in perspective representation
• Fig. 3 shows the article shown in Fig. 2 in • cross section
• Fig. 4 shows the device shown in Fig. 2 without cover
• Fig. 5 shows the attachment shown in Fig. 3 without a lid.
• the cooling Lei nri direction 6 is a heat-emitting means 46 and blown with Lagba rer cooling container 8 made of ' warm Lei te ⁇ dem material, in. whose receiving space 42 is directed from the outlet opening 4 of the hot container 14.
• the heating container 14 is arranged above the cooling container 8, a continuous air gap 2 being formed between the heating container 14 and the cooling container 8.
• the drawing shows that the means 46 as in latest flow ⁇ "rect extending cooling fins. I idet are and that the cooling device 6 is arranged in a housing 30 with air inlet openings 34 and 36 and Heilaus La ßö réelleen 38 and 40. The axis of rotation 1 of the blower 42 is arranged approximately horizontally.
• the cooling container 8 has guide means not shown, which with counter-guide means of the housing
• the heating container 14 has electrically heated radiators 20 and the outlet opening 4. Both the radiators 20 aLs and the outlet opening 4 are arranged in the bottom region of the heating container 14.
• the radiators 20 are designed in the form of an electrical spiral, which heat up a heating plate 18 in which a channel 24 with a valve 25 is arranged.
• the valve 25 is controllable by means of an actuating device 28.
• the interior 12 of the heating container 14 can be locked by a cover 16 and the liquid can flow in the direction of the two vertically aligned parts after opening of the valve 25.
• a cover is located below the heating device 20
• the cooling container 8 which is preferably made of aluminum, is within a slide 44 with openings
• the liquid in the interior 42 of the cooling container 8 can e.g. to be poured into a baby bottle.
• Valve 25 can be used to test the running speed of the liquid, which has the advantage that that when the liquid flows out small, its temperature can be reduced very quickly.
• the actual cooling process is a function of the perturbation speed of the air, the size and cooling capacity of the cooling container and the outflow of the soaking liquid.
• the heating container 14 carries an attachment 3 made of preferably transparent material.
• the attachment 3 consists of a base part 15 with a passage opening 17 which is designed as a nozzle with bores 19.
• the bottom of part 15 is convex.
• FIGS. 2 and 3 show that the base part 15 can be covered by a hood 16 1 and defines a cavity 51 together with it.
• Pacifiers can be accommodated in this cavity 51, for example, which can be sterilized in the course of water preparation.
• the water boiling in the heating container 14 forms steam which can flow into the cavity 51 via the passage opening 17.
• the steam has a temperature that is above 90 ° C. In this way the pacifier of the i ni fi fi fi ci ed.
• the attachment 3 can also be used for disinfecting baby bottles 7, which are placed on the attachment 3 during water preparation, so that the passage opening 17 points into the interior of the baby bottle.
• Se Lst understand Li ch it would also be possible to form an opening in the hood 16 ', which would have to be matched to the outer diameter of the baby bottle, so that both baby pacifiers and baby bottles could be disinfected at the same time. In this case, it would be expedient to also form openings in the bottom 53 through which steam can flow into the cavity 51.
