It is worth noting here that the extrusion plate 20 is circular, and the diameter of the extrusion plate 20 is the same as the diameter of the inner cavity of the side block 49.

[0049] A filling method for ice cream production, applicable to the above-mentioned filling equipment for ice cream production, comprises the following steps:

[0050] S1: Adding materials; by conveying the cold-formed ice creams of different flavors or colors into the feeding hopper 7, the conveying auger 8 conveys the ice creams into the first conveying pipe 1 at the same time. Due to the blocking of the blocking plate 11, a variety of different ice creams can be conveyed into the first conveying pipe 1 and squeezed into blocks;

[0051] S2: conveying; after a group of ice creams are extruded and formed, the blocking plate 11 is opened so that the ice cream conveyed by the conveying auger 8 squeezes the extruded ice cream, and the formed ice cream is conveyed to the connection between the second conveying pipeline 2 and the first conveying pipeline 1, and the ice cream is conveyed by the second pushing plate 43 so that the ice cream is conveyed to the left side of the first pushing plate 29, and the first pushing plate 29 is used to push the ice cream into the filling pipeline 3 for filling;

[0052] S3: filling; by starting the second hydraulic cylinder 17 to squeeze the ice cream, the ice cream is squeezed out from the filling head tube 12 and filled into the ice cream box, and the half gear 16 can be rotated so that the half gear 16 drives the filling head tube 12 to rotate, so as to facilitate shaping of the filled ice cream.

[0053] Specifically, the working process or working principle of the filling equipment for ice cream production is as follows: when in use, first reset the first push plate 29 and the second push plate 43 to the initial position to avoid obstruction to the movement of the ice cream, and at the same time as the first push plate 29 and the second push plate 43 are reset, the slitting knife 45 can be moved to the front side of the inner wall of the first conveying pipe 1, and then adjust the angle of the filling head tube 12 to align the filling head tube 12 with the filling pipe 3 to avoid deformation of the ice cream during filling in the initial filling state, resulting in the ice cream filled at the bottom of the ice cream box not being able to complete the filling of the bottom of the ice cream box.

[0054] When filling the ice cream, the first hydraulic cylinder 10 is started so that the first hydraulic cylinder 10 drives the blocking plate 11 to be inserted into the inner cavity of the first conveying pipe 1, so that the blocking plate 11 blocks the first conveying pipe 1, and then the cold-formed ice cream of different flavors or colors is conveyed to the feeding hopper 7. After the first motor 6 is started, the ice cream can be conveyed to the first conveying pipe 1 through the conveying auger 8, so that the conveyed ice cream is conveyed to the first conveying pipe 1 and then blocked by the blocking plate 11, so that the continuously conveyed ice cream is squeezed on the left side of the blocking plate 11 to become block ice filling the inner cavity of the first conveying pipe 1. Ice cream, before the blocking plate 4 and the left end of the first conveying pipe 1 are completely filled and while ensuring that the conveying auger 8 can continue to convey the ice cream, the first hydraulic cylinder 10 is started so that the first hydraulic cylinder 10 drives the blocking plate 11 to move upward, so that the ice cream continuously conveyed by the conveying auger 8 is squeezed to the right, and before the extruded ice cream is pushed to the right side of the blocking plate 11, the first hydraulic cylinder 10 is started again, so that the first hydraulic cylinder 10 drives the blocking plate 11 to move downward to block the ice cream, so that the continuously conveyed ice cream is squeezed again on the left side of the blocking plate 11.

[0055] When the formed block ice cream is squeezed and moved, the third motor 25 is started, so that the third motor 25 drives the transmission wheel 34 to rotate. When the transmission wheel 34 rotates, the driven wheel 36 can be driven to rotate through the transmission belt 37, so that the driven wheel 36 drives the tooth plate 40 to move through the transmission rod 38 and the second gear 39. When the tooth plate 40 moves, the slitting knife 45 can be driven to move through the mounting plate 41, so that the slitting knife 45 segments the pushed ice cream when it moves, and because the speed at which the third motor 25 drives the slitting knife 45 to move is greater than the speed at which the ice cream is pushed, it can be avoided that the cross section of the ice cream is too tilted when the segmented ice cream is segmented, resulting in the ice cream being squeezed when it is pushed, so that the ice cream can be segmented, and due to the blocking position of the blocking plate 11, the length of the first conveying pipeline 1 and the moving timing of the slitting knife 45, after the ice cream is pushed in sections, the segmented ice cream can be moved to a position facing the second pushing plate 43.

[0056] After the ice cream is segmented, the segmented ice cream can be pushed to the back of the second push plate 43 due to the push of the ice cream formed or conveyed on the left side. Then, by starting the third motor 25, the third motor 25 drives the driven wheel 36 to rotate through the transmission wheel 34 and the transmission belt 37, so that the driven wheel 36 drives the tooth plate 40 to move through the transmission rod 38 and the second gear 39. When the tooth plate 40 moves, the second push plate 43 can be driven to move through the mounting plate 41 and the moving plate 42, so that the second push plate pushes the ice cream into the second conveying pipe 2, and after the two groups of ice cream are pushed into the second conveying pipe 2, the ice cream on the rear side can be pushed to the left side of the first push plate 29, and the second screw rod 26 drives the first push plate 29 to move through the screw sleeve 27 to push the ice cream. When the ice cream is pushed into the filling pipe 3, the tooth plate 40 can drive the second push plate 43 The filling head tube 12 is moved backward to reset, and after the ice cream is pushed into the filling pipe 3, the second hydraulic cylinder 17 is started, so that the second hydraulic cylinder 17 drives the squeezing plate 20 to squeeze the ice cream, so that the ice cream is discharged from the filling head tube 12 after being squeezed, and then the ice cream can be squeezed into the ice cream box at the bottom of the filling head tube 12, and, when one quarter or one third of the ice cream is left, the second motor 14 is started, so that the second motor 14 drives the half gear 16 to rotate through the first gear 15, and then the half gear 16 drives the filling head tube 12 to rotate, so that the filling head tube 12 rotates the squeezed ice cream, so that the ice cream in the upper layer of the ice cream box is more beautiful. After the ice cream is completely filled, the ice cream filled with ice cream can be directly conveyed backwards by the conveying equipment, so as to facilitate the ice cream and subsequent capping processes.
