Abstract

Disclosed is a device for dispensing milk and/or milk froth from a container (1) which contains milk and is inserted into a coolable cabinet (3). The milk is conveyed into an emulsifying unit (6) that is located outside the coolable cabinet via a withdrawing conduit (4) and an additional conduit (5). The received product is dispensed from said emulsifying unit (6) via a discharge nozzle (7). Steam, by means of which the milk that is directed through the emulsifying unit (6) can be heated and/or frothed, can be introduced into the emulsifying unit (6). The additional conduit (5) comprises a flexible tube that is placed inside a squeezed tube pump (9). Said squeezed tube pump (9) is provided with switching means (10) that allow the squeezed tube pump (9) to be moved from a closed pump state to an open state in which the passage of the flexible tube (5) is released. The inventive device can be cleaned in an optimal manner while optimally allowing milk to be dispensed at different temperatures or milk froth to be dispensed. Said device is advantageously integrated into a coffee machine, making it possible to automatically obtain different types of coffee with added milk.

Claims (11)

1. A device for dispensing milk and/or milk froth from a container (1) containing milk, which container is placeable in a coolable cabinet (3) held in a frame (20), and in which container an extraction line (4) is insertable that is connected to an emulsifying device (6) disposed outside the coolable cabinet (3) via a further line (5), through which emulsifying device the milk to be dispensed is conductible and reaches the discharge nozzle, in which emulsifying device (6) steam is introducible with which the milk conducted through the emulsifying device (6) is able to be heated up and/or frothed up, wherein the further line (5) consists of a flexible tube, which is inserted in a peristaltic pump (9), which peristaltic pump (9) is equipped with switching means (10), with which the peristaltic pump is switchable from a closed pump state into an open pump state releasing the passage of the flexible tube (5).
2. The device according to claim 1, wherein the peristaltic pump (9) is disposed inside the coolable cabinet (3), and is drivable via a drive motor outside the coolable cabinet (3), in particular an electromotor.
3. The device according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the switching means (10) is made up of a piston cylinder unit (11), the piston rod of which is connected to the curved part (12) bordering the squeeze space.
4. The device according to claim 3, wherein the piston (15) of the piston cylinder unit (10) is impinged by pressurized water, the pressurization is controllable via a valve (13), and the return water is dischargeable as waste water.
5. The device according to one of the claims 1 to 4, wherein by reversing the direction of rotation of the peristaltic pump (9) after the milk dispensing process, the milk located in the further line (5) is pumpable back into the container (1).
6. The device according to one of the claims 1 to 5, wherein means of determining the weight of the container (1) are disposed in the region of the floor (19) of the coolable cabinet (3) on which the container (1) is placeable.
7. The device according to one of the claims 1 to 6, wherein the container (1) for the milk is removable from the coolable cabinet (3), another container with cleaning agents is able to be put in its place, the cleaning agents are conveyable by means of the peristaltic pump (9) through the extraction line (4), the further line (5) and the emulsifying device (6), and the container is fillable with rinse water for rinsing after the cleaning procedure, which rinse water is also conveyable through the extraction line (4), the further line (5) and the emulsifying device (6).
8. The device according to one of the claims 1 to 7, wherein the flexible tube (5) is made of silicon or the like.
9. A coffee machine, in particular espresso machine, with at least one container (27) for coffee beans, a grinding device, a brewing device and a coffee discharge nozzle (28) and with a device for dispensing milk and/or milk froth according to one of the claims 1 to 8, wherein the device for dispensing milk and/or milk froth is attached to the coffee machine (26) as a module (29), and the coffee machine (26) is able to be extended or upgraded through further modules (30).
10. The coffee machine according to claim 9, wherein placed between brewing device and coffee discharge nozzle (28) is a dispensing cup (33), into which the discharge nozzle (7) of the emulsifying device (6) also empties, and the dispensing of coffee, milk and/or milk froth takes place through the coffee discharge nozzle (28).
11. The coffee machine according to claim 9 or 10, wherein the piston cylinder unit (11) is controllable by means of the coffee machine (26) water which is under pressure.
