Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of daily necessities technology, and more specifically, relates to an easy-to-use ice cream machine. Background Technology
[0002] An ice cream machine is a machine used to make ice cream and other frozen desserts. It produces delicious ice cream by rapidly churning and processing mixed ice cream ingredients at low temperatures to achieve the desired texture and flavor. With increasing demand for ice cream and the expansion of the ice cream market, ice cream machines have gradually developed more functions and forms. The emergence of commercial ice cream machines has made large-scale production possible, meeting the needs of restaurants, cafes, and beverage shops. These machines typically have higher production efficiency and larger capacity, enabling them to produce large quantities of ice cream in a short time, satisfying consumers with fast-paced lifestyles.
[0003] When making ice cream, workers typically need to hold the container in one hand and pull the lever with the other. Working with both hands simultaneously can distract the worker, leading to inconsistent ice cream quality each time, thus affecting product reputation and sales. Because there is a time lag between the lever and the extruder head support of the ice cream machine, this delay can cause unstable ice cream output, resulting in inconsistent shape, texture, and consistency, thus affecting product quality and taste. If the lever is not stopped in time, too much ice cream may be extruded, resulting in waste.
[0004] In summary, existing ice cream machines typically require two hands to operate, involve complex procedures, and have the problem of difficulty in controlling the amount of ice cream dispensed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an easy-to-use ice cream machine that can solve the problem that existing ice cream machines usually require two hands to operate, have complicated procedures, and have difficulty controlling the amount of ice cream dispensed.
[0006] This invention is implemented as follows:
[0007] This invention provides a user-friendly ice cream machine, comprising an ice cream machine body and an ice cream extruder head. The ice cream machine body is fixedly connected to the ice cream extruder head. The ice cream machine body is used to mix and process ice cream ingredients, and the ice cream extruder head is used to extrude the prepared ice cream. The ice cream extruder head includes a storage cavity, a limiting sleeve, a moving mechanism, a leak-proof mechanism, and a dispensing head. The storage cavity is fixedly connected to the limiting sleeve. The moving mechanism, the leak-proof mechanism, and the dispensing head are disposed inside the limiting sleeve. The limiting sleeve is slidably connected to the moving mechanism. The limiting sleeve and the dispensing head are fixedly connected by protrusions extending from both sides of the dispensing head. The dispensing head is located inside the moving mechanism and slidably connected to it. The leak-proof mechanism is located below the moving mechanism and the dispensing head and is fixedly connected to the limiting sleeve.
[0008] The technical advantages of this invention's user-friendly ice cream machine are as follows: By designing the machine body, the internal agitator evenly mixes the ice cream ingredients, ensuring thorough blending and cooling to a low temperature. The storage chamber maintains the ice cream in a constant low-temperature environment, preventing premature melting or freezing, thus preserving its quality and texture, extending its shelf life, reducing waste, and maintaining freshness and flavor. The moving mechanism allows for flexible control of the ice cream's flow from the storage chamber, reducing the risk of contact and contamination during transfer, maintaining hygiene and quality. The moving mechanism can be operated with one hand by pressing the ice cream cup; ice cream is automatically dispensed when pressed and stops when pressing stops, reducing unnecessary waste and ensuring controllable dispensing volume each time. The leak-proof mechanism prevents ice cream from dripping onto the ground or other surfaces when not in use, reducing cleaning work and maintaining a clean and hygienic environment.
[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the convenient ice cream machine of the present invention can be further improved as follows:
[0010] The limiting sleeve has a flow channel in its inner side wall, and two first through holes are provided on the inner wall of the limiting sleeve, which are symmetrically arranged.
[0011] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned improvement scheme is that by setting up distribution channels, the smooth circulation of ice cream can be ensured.
[0012] Furthermore, the moving mechanism includes a moving plate and a second through hole. The moving plate has an inverted U-shaped structure, and the second through hole is provided on the side wall of the moving plate.
[0013] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned improvement scheme are as follows: by setting up a moving plate, the ice cream in the storage cavity can be isolated from the ice cream remaining in the dispensing head, avoiding cross-contamination and preventing the ice cream in the storage cavity from melting due to temperature loss caused by external environmental interference.
[0014] Furthermore, the discharge head includes a head cylinder, a head tip, and a third through hole. The head cylinder is fixedly connected to the head tip, and the third through hole is provided on the side wall of the head cylinder. The head cylinder has a cuboid structure, and the head tip has a frustum-shaped structure.
[0015] Furthermore, the third through hole is adapted to the first through hole.
[0016] Furthermore, the leak-proof mechanism includes a fixed block, a spring, a telescopic sleeve, and a limiting ball. The fixed block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting sleeve. The fixed block is fixedly connected to one end of the spring, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the moving plate. The spring is wound around the periphery of the telescopic joint of the telescopic sleeve. The telescopic sleeve passes through the bottom surface of the moving plate and extends into the interior of the moving plate. The telescopic sleeve is slidably connected to the moving plate, and the telescopic sleeve is fixedly connected to the limiting ball.
[0017] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned improvement scheme are: by setting a limiting ball, the tip of the ice cream can be stopped to prevent it from dripping and causing environmental pollution.
[0018] Furthermore, the fixing block has a U-shaped structure, and the spring is located in the recess of the fixing block.
[0019] Furthermore, the limiting ball is adapted to the tip.
[0020] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of the convenient ice cream machine provided by this invention are as follows: By designing the ice cream machine body, the internal agitator can evenly mix the ice cream ingredients, ensuring thorough fusion and cooling to a low temperature. The storage chamber allows the ice cream to be stored in a constant low-temperature environment, preventing premature melting or freezing, thus maintaining its quality and texture, extending its shelf life, reducing waste, and preserving its freshness and taste. The moving mechanism allows for flexible control of the ice cream's flow from the storage chamber, reducing the risk of contact and contamination during transfer, maintaining the ice cream's hygiene and quality. The moving mechanism can be operated with one hand by pressing the ice cream cup; ice cream is automatically dispensed when pressed and stops when pressing stops, reducing unnecessary waste and ensuring controllable dispensing volume each time. The leak-proof mechanism prevents ice cream from dripping onto the ground or other surfaces when not in use, reducing cleaning work and maintaining environmental cleanliness and hygiene.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] like Figure 1-3 The image shows an embodiment of an easy-to-use ice cream machine provided by the present invention. In this embodiment, it includes an ice cream machine body 10 and an ice cream extruder head. The ice cream machine body 10 is fixedly connected to the ice cream extruder head. The ice cream machine body 10 is used to mix and process ice cream ingredients, and the ice cream extruder head is used to extrude the prepared ice cream. The ice cream extruder head includes a storage cavity 11, a limiting sleeve 12, a moving mechanism 15, a leak-proof mechanism 16, and a discharge head 17. The storage cavity 11 is fixedly connected to the limiting sleeve 12. The moving mechanism 15, the leak-proof mechanism 16, and the discharge head 17 are arranged inside the limiting sleeve 12. The limiting sleeve 12 is slidably connected to the moving mechanism 15. The limiting sleeve 12 and the discharge head 17 are fixedly connected by protrusions extending from both sides of the discharge head 17. The discharge head 17 is located inside the moving mechanism 15 and is slidably connected to the moving mechanism 15. The leak-proof mechanism 16 is located below the moving mechanism 15 and the discharge head 17 and is fixedly connected to the limiting sleeve 12.
[0029] In use, ice cream is prepared and stored in the ice cream machine body 10. When a customer wants ice cream, the ice cream container is pressed against the moving plate 151 and pushed upwards. At this time, the moving plate 151 slides into the limiting sleeve 12, and the second through hole 152 gradually aligns with the first through hole 14 and the third through hole 173 until the second through hole 152, the first through hole 14, and the third through hole 173 are on the same straight line. At this time, the upper edge of the moving plate 151 is level with the limiting sleeve 12. During the above process, the moving plate 151 gradually compresses the spring 162, which drives the telescopic sleeve 163 to shorten. The telescopic sleeve 163 drives the limiting ball 164 to move downwards, causing the limiting ball 164 to separate from the tip 172. The ice cream in the storage cavity 11 flows into the limiting sleeve 12 through the flow channel 13. The ice cream passes through the first through hole 14, the second through hole 152, and the third through hole 173 in sequence into the head cylinder 171 and finally flows out from the tip 172.
[0030] When the ice cream container is full of ice cream and is removed, the spring 162 rebounds and pushes the moving plate 151 to slide away from the storage cavity 11. The second through hole 152 moves upward with the moving plate 151, blocking the flow between the first through hole 14 and the third through hole 173, and the ice cream in the storage cavity 11 can no longer flow down. When the spring 162 rebounds, the telescopic sleeve 163 is pulled and extended, and the limiting ball 164 contacts the tip 172 to block the flow of ice cream in the head tube 171.
[0031] In the above technical solution, a flow channel 13 is provided in the inner wall of the side wall of the limiting sleeve 12, and two first through holes 14 are provided on the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 12, and the two first through holes 14 are symmetrically arranged.
[0032] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the moving mechanism 15 includes a moving plate 151 and a second through hole 152. The moving plate 151 has an inverted U-shaped structure, and the second through hole 152 is provided on the side wall of the moving plate 151.
[0033] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the discharge head 17 includes a head cylinder 171, a head tip 172 and a third through hole 173. The head cylinder 171 and the head tip 172 are fixedly connected. The third through hole 173 is provided on the side wall of the head cylinder 171. The head cylinder 171 has a cuboid structure and the head tip 172 has a frustum-shaped structure.
[0034] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the third through hole 173 is adapted to the first through hole 14.
[0035] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the leak-proof mechanism 16 includes a fixed block 161, a spring 162, a telescopic sleeve 163, and a limiting ball 164. The fixed block 161 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 12. The fixed block 161 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring 162. The other end of the spring 162 is fixedly connected to the lower bottom surface of the moving plate 151. The spring 162 is wrapped around the periphery of the telescopic joint of the telescopic sleeve 163. The telescopic sleeve 163 penetrates the lower bottom surface of the moving plate 151 and extends into the interior of the moving plate 151. The telescopic sleeve 163 is slidably connected to the moving plate 151. The telescopic sleeve 163 is fixedly connected to the limiting ball 164.
[0036] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the fixing block 161 has a U-shaped structure, and the spring 162 is located in the recess of the fixing block 161.
[0037] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the limiting ball 164 is adapted to the tip 172.
[0038] Specifically, the principle of this invention is as follows: During use, ice cream is prepared and stored in the ice cream machine body 10. When a customer needs ice cream, the ice cream container is pressed against the moving plate 151 and pushed upwards. At this time, the moving plate 151 slides into the limiting sleeve 12, and the second through hole 152 gradually aligns with the first through hole 14 and the third through hole 173 until the second through hole 152, the first through hole 14, and the third through hole 173 are on the same straight line. At this time, the upper edge of the moving plate 151 is level with the limiting sleeve 12. During the above process, the moving plate 151 gradually compresses the spring 162, causing the telescopic sleeve 163 to shorten. The telescopic sleeve 163 causes the limiting ball 164 to move downwards, causing the limiting ball 164 to separate from the tip 172. The ice cream in the storage cavity 11 flows into the limiting sleeve 12 through the flow channel 13. The ice cream passes through the first through hole 14, the second through hole 152, and the third through hole 173 in sequence, enters the head cylinder 171, and finally flows out from the tip 172.
[0039] When the ice cream container is full of ice cream and is removed, the spring 162 rebounds and pushes the moving plate 151 to slide away from the storage cavity 11. The second through hole 152 moves upward with the moving plate 151, blocking the flow between the first through hole 14 and the third through hole 173, and the ice cream in the storage cavity 11 can no longer flow down. When the spring 162 rebounds, the telescopic sleeve 163 is pulled and extended, and the limiting ball 164 contacts the tip 172 to block the flow of ice cream in the head tube 171.
