DE10321094A1 - Modular assembly for automated home preparation of baby milk produced from milk powder and hot water - Google Patents

Abstract

A baby milk preparation assembly has a water supply (1) and a milk powder container (2) which feed to a mixer module (7) and then to a heater (3). The heater surrenders mixed milk to a chilling module (8) which in turn charges a baby bottle (9) or drinking vessel. The assembly incorporates a further chilling module (6) and an operating module (11). The operating module functions include an on/off switch, cleaning, sterilization, milk powder concentration, water volume, mixer activation, on/off of the milk-warming function.

Description

The The invention relates to a baby milk machine or a baby milk machine.

The Baby milk machine is a machine, which at the push of a button Baby milk bottle prepared and the baby milk prepared in it. Also includes the machine has a sterilization and warming module and an automatic one Cleaning function.

There baby do not have enough defenses in the first months of life, baby milk bottles and their drinking attachments should be sterile before use his. Therefor are currently sterilizers for baby bottles and corresponding attachments the market.

To the Boiling the water, traditional kettles are currently available Available. After heating the water, the necessary amount of milk powder is added, the mixture is shaken and by subsequent Wait cooled.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to a device create through which the above functions in one machine be united.

The The object is achieved by the solved in the characterizing part of claim 1 given features.

The Machine is characterized by the combination of container sterilization, Baby milk preparation, warming function and self-cleaning function out.

The The main advantages of the baby milk machine are the savings of labor and time as well as a smaller space requirement.

By the combination of those already mentioned Both couples and single parents will become functions less time-consuming and labor-intensive alternative to the conventional one Bottle sterilization, baby milk preparation and keeping warm are required. A ready-to-drink portion of baby milk is produced at the push of a button.

Of Another advantage is that the machine through the combination several functions helps to save space.

Further Advantages of the invention emerge from the remaining subclaims and the description.

1 shows for easier understanding of the baby milk machine according to the invention in a schematic diagram both a process and technology description.

The machine essentially consists of a water tank 1 , a powdered milk container 2 , a brewing module 3 , a sterilization module 4 , a catch basin 5 , a cooling module 6 , a mixing module 7 , another cooling module 8th , a warming module 10 and an operating module 11 with baby milk in a bottle 9 is prepared.

The removable water tank 1 is located on the left side of the machine and can be 11 Water to be filled.

A certain amount of water from the water tank is used for the sterilization process 1 to the brewing module 3 given where the water is heated to about 100 degrees Celsius. The brewing module 3 is below the water tank 1 arranged.

In the sterilization module 4 , which is located in the rear area of the machine, becomes a bottle 9 (which is set over the cap) and drinking attachment 9 sterilized by hot steam through a valve. The resulting wastewater is sent to the catch basin at the bottom of the machine / machine 5 forwarded, which should be emptied again and again.

The removable milk powder container 2 is located in the middle of the machine and can be filled with approx. 500 g baby milk powder and any additives.

A dosed, in the brewing module 3 heated amount of water is sent to the first cooling module 6 transported, where it in turn is cooled to approx. 50 degrees Celsius.

Afterwards, the cooled amount of water and the portioned baby milk powder become a mixing module 7 transported, which is located in the center of the machine. The task of the mixing module 7 is to mix water and milk powder in the specified dosage.

After that is the temperature of baby milk by peeling animal elements, which attached to the mixing module, reduced to approx. 37 degrees Celsius.

The following is the vial 9 , which is positioned on the front of the machine, is infested with the amount of baby milk prepared.

Using a warming / warming module 10 the temperature of the filled baby milk bottle 9 kept constant at 37 degrees Celsius or warmed to this temperature. The Heating / hot holding module 10 is arranged in the sterilization device. There the filled baby milk bottle can be inserted into the device.

There is a control panel on the front of the machine for operating the machine 11 attached with which the actuators can be controlled.

The control module 11 includes the following functions:

• - Switch on / off the machine / the machine
• - Activate of the cleaning process
• - Activate the sterilization process
• - dosage the amount of milk powder
• - dosage the amount of water
• - Activate of the mixing process
• - On- and switching off the heating / keeping warm function

The machine also includes an automatic cleaning function, which is also provided in the brewing module 3 heated water works.
