Abstract:
1. A baby formula maker comprising: a main body comprising a base, a housing, and a top cover; an electric motor disposed in the housing; a gear assembly driven by the electric motor; a cover plate pivotably disposed on the top cover and comprising a first projection on a first side and a second projection on a second side respectively; a baby formula assembly adjacent to the cover plate and comprising a baby formula reservoir, a reciprocating screw communicating with a bottom of the baby formula reservoir and operatively driven by the gear assembly, and a pivotal gate disposed in front of the reciprocating screw wherein the baby formula reservoir includes opposite first and second projecting members formed on an outer surface; an outlet disposed on the housing under the pivotal gate; a first release mechanism disposed on a first side of the housing for locking both the baby formula assembly and the cover plate wherein the first release mechanism comprises a first arm, a second arm pivotably secured to the first arm, a first bracket secured to the second arm, and a first push button disposed on an outer surface of the first bracket; wherein the first arm includes first and second end protrusions, and the second arm includes a protuberance disposed on the first bracket; a second release mechanism disposed on a second side of the housing for locking both the baby formula assembly and the cover plate wherein the second release mechanism comprises a first arm, a second arm pivotably secured to the first arm of the second release mechanism, a second bracket secured to the second arm of the second release mechanism, and a second push button disposed on an outer surface of the second bracket; wherein the first arm of the second release mechanism includes first and second end protrusions, and the second arm of the second release mechanism includes a protuberance disposed on the second bracket; a hot water assembly disposed in the housing and comprising a water reservoir, a heating member for heating water stored in the water reservoir, and a pump; a control assembly for controlling the hot water assembly, the electric motor, and the baby formula assembly, the control assembly comprising a display disposed on the housing, and an array of buttons disposed on the housing for adjusting a plurality of settings; and a magnetic assembly for magnetically interacting on both the pivotal gate and the reciprocating screw so as to close the pivotal gate; wherein in response to a quantity of water having a temperature in a predetermined range being stored in the water reservoir, a clockwise rotation of the reciprocating screw conveys a set volume of powder baby formula from the baby formula reservoir and opens the pivotal gate so as to unload the set volume of powder baby formula from the outlet; and wherein in response to activating the pump, the pump sucks a set volume of water from the water reservoir to the outlet.
