DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(6) The following embodiments describe the utility model in detail.

(7) With reference to FIGS. 1 to 5, a milk foam generator of a coffee maker of the utility model comprises a milk tank 1, wherein a top part of the milk tank is provided with a support 2, a foam generator body 3 is placed on the support, the foam generator body is respectively connected to an inlet milk pipe 6, a steam pipe (not shown in drawings) and a milk foam sprayer, the foam generator body is internally provided with a first emulsification chamber 35, the first emulsification chamber is communicated with an air inlet channel, and the air inlet channel is internally provided with an air inlet adjustment member. One side wall part of the milk tank 1 internally sinks to form a holding space 11 of the milk foam pipe. The support 2 is installed on an upper edge of the milk tank, the support 2 is internally provided with a space suitable for placing the foam generator body and the air inlet adjustment member, such as arranging a guide device 21 of the air inlet adjustment member on the support.

(8) The air inlet adjustment member comprises an adjustment sleeve 7 and a pulling rod 8, an outer wall of an adjustment end 81 of the pulling rod is concavely provided with a gradually changed groove 811, the adjustment end slides in a pipe chamber of the adjustment sleeve, so that a size of an inlet of the air inlet channel communicated with an outside is changed. The pulling rod 8 is composed of the adjustment end 81 and a handle 82.

(9) The adjustment sleeve is made of a silica gel material.

(10) The foam generator body further comprises a steam pipe chamber 31, a milk indrawing chamber 32, an air inlet pipe 34 and a mixing outlet chamber 33, an end part of the air inlet pipe is provided with an adjustment sleeve chamber 37, and the adjustment sleeve 7 is arranged in the adjustment sleeve chamber; the steam pipe chamber s internally provided with a steam pipe port 4, and the steam pipe is connected to the foam generator body through the steam pipe port 4.

(11) An end part of the steam pipe port is tapered to form a tapered air jet hole 41, and the air jet hole stretches into the first emulsification chamber. The steam pipe port is in detachable thread connection with the steam pipe chamber in a sealing manner, which specifically is that: an outer wall of one end of the steam pipe port is provided with an external thread, an inner wall of the steam pipe chamber is provided with an internal thread, the steam pipe port and the steam pipe chamber are adaptively connected, and a seal ring is arranged between the steam pipe port and the steam pipe chamber so that the steam pipe port and the steam pipe chamber are sealingly connected. The steam pipe port can be dismantled from the steam pipe chamber, so that the cleaning operation of the milk tank is easier.

(12) One end of the first emulsification chamber 35 is tapered.

(13) The milk foam sprayer comprises a milk foam spray pipe 5 and a direction rotary knob 51, one end of the milk foam sprayer is inserted in the mixing outlet chamber and the other end is fixed on the direction rotary knob, and a seal ring is arranged between the milk foam spray pipe and the foam generator body.

(14) A necking hole 36 is arranged between the first emulsification chamber of the foam generator body and the mixing outlet chamber, the milk foam spray pipe is internally provided with a second emulsification chamber 52 and a milk foam chamber 53, and the second emulsification chamber is close to the necking hole.

(15) The second emulsification chamber and the milk foam chamber are set in an L shape. The milk foam sprayer is connected to a milk foam pipe 9.

(16) The operating principle of the air inlet adjustment of the utility model is that: since the adjustment end of the pulling rod is sealingly coordinated with the adjustment sleeve, the outside air enters the adjustment sleeve and enters the air inlet channel through the adjustment sleeve, which enters from a gap formed by the gradually changed groove and the adjustment sleeve, regarding to the gradually changed groove arranged in a concave manner, when the gradually changed groove slides to different positions in the pipe chamber of the adjustment sleeve, the gap formed by the gradually changed groove and the adjustment sleeve is different, and the gap is gradually changed with a displacement change of the pulling road. Therefore, when the pulling rod is pulled to an end of the gradually changed groove, the air inlet when the coordination is conducted more, and when the pulling rod is pulled to a tail part of the gradually changed groove, the gap coordinated by the gradually changed groove with the adjustment sleeve is smaller and smaller. Therefore, the air inlet is less. A user pulls the pulling rod manually, so as to adjust a fine degree of the milk foam required.
