DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0104] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer and more specific, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0105] Please also see Figure 1-Figure 21 , the present invention provides some embodiments of an ice cream machine.

[0106] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the ice cream machine of the present invention comprises: a base 10, a case 20, a stirring device 30 and an extruding device 40; the case 20 is arranged on the base 10; the stirring device 30 is arranged on the base 10 and the case 20, and the extruding device 40 is arranged on the case 20, and the extruding device 40 can be located at a higher position of the case 20 so that the extruded ice cream can be received by a container. The stirring device 30 is used to stir the ice cream raw materials and form ice cream, and the extruding device 40 is used to extrude the ice cream. If there are many ice cream raw materials, more ice cream can be formed at one time by the stirring device 30, and multiple portions of ice cream can be extruded by the extruding device 40. The ice cream raw materials can include ice cubes, milk, milk powder, cream, edible sugar, salt, additives, etc.

[0107] The stirring device 30 comprises:

[0108] A first driving mechanism 31 is disposed in the chassis 20;

[0109] The outer cylinder 32 is placed on the base 10;

[0110] A cutter 33 is disposed on the outer cylinder 32;

[0111] An inner cylinder 34, located inside the outer cylinder 32;

[0112] The first driving mechanism 31 is configured to connect the tool 33 and drive the tool 33 to rise, fall and rotate. The bottom of the inner cylinder 34 is provided with an outlet structure 35 , and the outlet structure 35 is provided with a first piston structure 36 .

[0113] Specifically, the inner cylinder 34 is used to load the ice cream raw materials and the ice cream formed by the ice cream raw materials. The inner cylinder 34 is assembled in the outer cylinder 32. The outer cylinder 32 includes a cylinder cover and a cylinder body. The cylinder cover and the cylinder body are detachably connected. After opening the cylinder cover, the inner cylinder 34 is placed in the cylinder body, or the inner cylinder 34 in the cylinder body is taken out. Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the first drive mechanism 31 is detachably connected to the cutter 33 and is used to drive the cutter 33 to rise and fall and rotate. The rise and fall and rotation of the cutter 33 can be performed simultaneously. The cutter 33 is detachably mounted on the outer cylinder 32 and rotates relative to the outer cylinder 32. Specifically, it is mounted on the cylinder cover of the outer cylinder 32. After the first drive mechanism 31 is connected to the cutter 33, the cutter 33 and the outer cylinder 32 can be separated. The cutter 33 has the functions of stirring and cutting the ice cream raw materials. The ice cream raw materials are crushed by cutting and mixed by stirring.

[0114] The extrusion device 40 comprises:

[0115] A second driving mechanism 41 is disposed on the chassis 20;

[0116] A second piston structure 42, disposed on the second driving mechanism 41;

[0117] The corresponding position of the second piston structure 42 on the chassis 20 is configured to be connected to the inner cylinder 34 , and the second driving mechanism 41 is configured to push the second piston structure 42 to open the first piston structure 36 .

[0118] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an opening 21 is formed at a corresponding position of the second piston structure 42 on the case 20, and the opening 21 allows the second piston structure 42 to pass through, and the opening 21 is detachably connected to the inner cylinder 34. A protective cover 22 can be configured at the opening 21 to protect the second piston structure 42. When the inner cylinder 34 is assembled at the opening 21, the protective cover 22 at the opening 21 can be removed first, and then the inner cylinder 34 is assembled. After the ice cream raw materials form ice cream, the inner cylinder 34 is taken out and connected to the corresponding position of the second piston structure 42 on the case 20. The second driving mechanism 41 is used to push the second piston structure 42 into the inner cylinder 34. After the air pressure in the inner cylinder 34 increases, the first piston structure 36 is pushed open, and the ice cream in the inner cylinder 34 is squeezed out from the outlet structure 35. The first piston structure 36 is movably connected to the outlet structure 35, and the first piston structure 36 can be indirectly pushed open under the push of the second piston structure 42. When the inner cylinder 34 is assembled in the outer cylinder 32 , under the action of the gravity of the inner cylinder 34 , the first piston structure 36 and the outlet structure 35 are closed, and the ice cream will not leak out of the outlet structure 35 .

[0119] In the present application, the connection between the first piston structure 36 and the outlet structure 35 is relatively flexible, and the first piston structure 36 can be pushed open by the second piston structure 42. Even if the first piston structure 36 is forgotten to be opened manually, it does not affect the opening of the first piston structure 36 and the extrusion of the ice cream. When the air pressure in the inner cylinder 34 is increased, it is also beneficial to expel the large-pore foam in the ice cream, making the foam of the ice cream more delicate.

[0120] In a preferred implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 , Figure 8-Figure 10 As shown, a through hole 341 is formed at the bottom of the inner cylinder 34 .

[0121] Specifically, a through hole 341 is formed at the bottom of the inner cylinder 34 for the ice cream to pass through. The through hole 341 may be circular. The inner cylinder 34 may be a circular cylinder, and the second piston structure 42 may slide in the inner cylinder 34, and the second piston structure 42 is sealed with the side wall of the inner cylinder 34, so that the ice cream in the inner cylinder 34 can only be discharged from the through hole 341. The second piston structure 42 may move to the bottom of the inner cylinder 34, and the surface of the second piston structure 42 cooperates with the bottom of the inner cylinder 34, and the gap between the two is small, so that as much ice cream as possible can be discharged.

[0122] In a preferred implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6-Figure 10 As shown, the outlet structure 35 includes:

[0123] A first cylinder 351 is arranged around the through hole 341;

[0124] A second cylinder 352, surrounding the first cylinder 351;

[0125] The channel 353 is provided in the first cylinder 351 and passes through the second cylinder 352 .

[0126] Specifically, the first cylinder 351 and the second cylinder 352 are both located outside the inner cylinder 34, the first cylinder 351 surrounds the outside of the through hole 341, and the second cylinder 352 surrounds the outside of the first cylinder 351. The channel 353 penetrates the first cylinder 351 and the second cylinder 352, and the ice cream discharged from the through hole 341 enters the first cylinder 351 and then is discharged through the channel 353. The first piston structure 36 is movably connected to the second cylinder 352 and seals the through hole 341.

[0127] In a preferred implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 9 As shown, the second cylinder 352 is provided with an inclined groove 3521; the first piston structure 36 includes:

[0128] A cover 361 is sleeved outside the second cylinder 352;

[0129] The limiting block 362 is disposed on the inner wall of the cover body 361 and is inserted into the inclined groove 3521 and slides in the inclined groove 3521;

[0130] The first plug 363 is disposed at the inner bottom of the cover 361 and is inserted into the first cylinder 351 to seal the through hole 341 .

[0131] Specifically, the cover 361 covers the second cylinder 352, and a notch 3611 is provided on the cover 361, and the notch 3611 avoids the passage 353. The first plug 363 is inserted into the first cylinder 351 and seals the through hole 341. When the limit block 362 slides in the inclined groove 3521, the cover 361 moves relative to the second cylinder 352 and the first plug 363 moves relative to the first cylinder 351, and the movement trajectory of the cover 361 and the movement trajectory of the first plug 363 are both extension trajectories of the inclined groove 3521. With the inclined groove 3521, the movement of the first plug 363 is a composite movement of moving away from the inner cylinder 34 and rotating relative to the first cylinder 351, which is conducive to reducing the sliding friction between the first plug 363 and the first cylinder 351, and facilitating the opening of the first plug 363.

[0132] The inclined groove 3521 is inclined relative to the axial direction of the first cylinder 351 . The inclined groove 3521 is substantially in the shape of a spiral curve. The inclined groove 3521 may also be an inclined hole.

[0133] In a preferred implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 9 and Fig.11 As shown, a first flat groove 3522 is further provided on the second cylinder 352 . The first flat groove 3522 is connected to one end of the inclined groove 3521 close to the through hole 341 . The limiting block 362 slides in the first flat groove 3522 .

[0134] Specifically, the limit block 362 is in the shape of an elongated strip, and the limit block in the shape of an elongated strip extends in the horizontal direction. The limit block 362 can move to the first flat groove 3522. The first flat groove 3522 extends in the horizontal direction. For example, the first flat groove 3522 is located at one end of the inclined groove 3521 close to the inner cylinder 34. When the limit block 362 moves into the first flat groove 3522, the first plug body 363 seals the through hole 341, and the second driving mechanism 41 pushes the second piston structure 42 but cannot push the first piston structure 36 to rotate horizontally to open the outlet structure 35, so the first piston structure 36 is in a closed and locked state. When the limit block 362 is located at a position where the inclined groove 3521 is close to the first flat groove 3522, when the second piston structure 42 moves, the first piston structure 36 can be pushed open, and the first piston structure 36 is not locked, and the first piston structure 36 is in a closed and unlocked state.

[0135] In a preferred implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 9 and Fig.11 As shown, a second flat groove 3523 is further provided on the second cylinder 352 , and the second flat groove 3523 is connected to one end of the inclined groove 3521 away from the through hole 341 ; the limiting block 362 slides in the second flat groove 3523 .

[0136] Specifically, the stopper 362 can move to the second flat groove 3523. The second flat groove 3523 extends in the horizontal direction. The second flat groove 3523 is located at the end of the inclined groove 3521 away from the inner cylinder 34. When the stopper 362 moves into the second flat groove 3523, the second plug body 421 is away from the through hole 341, the outlet structure 35 is fully opened, and the first piston structure 36 is in an open and locked state. When the stopper 362 is located at a position where the inclined groove 3521 is close to the second flat groove 3523, the first piston structure 36 is in an open and unlocked state.

Since the shape of the outer side wall of the barrel 4213 is different from the shape of the inner side wall of the barrel 4213, the thickness of the barrel 4213 is not uniform at all places, but has several places with thicker thickness (i.e., the thick wall of the barrel 4213) and several places with thinner thickness (i.e., the thin wall of the barrel 4213), and the embedded part 4223 is embedded in the thick wall of the barrel 4213.

[0175] Specifically, the outer wall of the push rod 414 forms a slot 4142, which is L-shaped, and the inner wall of the cylinder 4213 forms a protrusion 4214.

The support ring 23 is provided with a guide protrusion 231, which guides and squeezes the extrusion protrusion 4215, so that the extrusion protrusion 4215 moves toward the push rod 414 and squeezes the clamping protrusion 4214.

[0178] In a preferred implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first driving mechanism 31 includes:

The shaft core is located in the sleeve, and is respectively connected to the lifting assembly 314 and the tool 33, and the shaft core slides in the sleeve, and the sleeve and the shaft core cannot rotate relative to each other. The first transmission assembly 312 transmits the driving force of the rotation driver 311 to the sleeve, so that the sleeve and the shaft core rotate together, and the tool 33 rotates. The lifting assembly 314 transmits the driving force of the lifting driver 315 to the shaft core, so that the shaft core slides relative to the sleeve, and the tool 33 is lifted and lowered. The lifting assembly 314 can adopt a screw structure, and the screw structure includes a screw structure and a nut structure.

The second transmission assembly 412 can adopt a gear set transmission assembly.

[0196] Based on the ice cream machine described in any one of the above embodiments, the present invention also provides a preferred embodiment of an ice cream preparation method of an ice cream machine.

[0197] The ice cream preparation method of the ice cream machine according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0198] Step S100, after opening the outer cylinder, placing the ice cream raw materials in the inner cylinder, then covering the outer cylinder, and connecting the first driving mechanism and the cutter;

[0199] Step S200, starting the first driving mechanism to drive the cutter to rise and fall and rotate, so that the ice cream raw material is formed into ice cream;

[0200] Step S300, after opening the outer cylinder, take out the inner cylinder containing the ice cream and connect it to the corresponding position of the second piston structure on the chassis;

[0201] Step S400: start the second driving mechanism to push the second piston structure to open the first piston structure and squeeze out the ice cream.

[0202] Specifically, when preparing ice cream, the ice cream is first stirred to form the ice cream, and then squeezed out. The inner cylinder is located inside the outer cylinder. After the outer cylinder is opened, the ice cream raw materials are loaded into the inner cylinder, and the first piston structure closes the outlet structure, so that the ice cream raw materials will not leak out of the outlet structure. After the outer cylinder is closed, the first drive mechanism and the cutter can be connected, and the cutter is separated from the outer cylinder. Starting the first drive mechanism can drive the cutter to rise and fall and rotate, so that the ice cream raw materials are crushed and mixed to form ice cream.

[0203] After the ice cream is formed, the outer cylinder is opened, and the inner cylinder containing the ice cream is taken out and assembled in the corresponding position of the second piston structure on the chassis. Then the second driving mechanism is started to push the second piston structure to move in the inner cylinder, and the pressure in the inner cylinder is used to open the first piston structure. The ice cream in the inner cylinder is squeezed by the second piston structure and discharged from the outlet structure. By controlling the displacement of the second piston structure, the extrusion amount of the ice cream can be adjusted.

[0204] When squeezing out the ice cream, even if the first piston structure is not manually opened, the second piston structure is pushed by the second driving mechanism and the pressure in the inner cylinder is used to squeeze the first piston structure, so that the first piston structure is opened and the ice cream can be squeezed out, thus avoiding the problem of forgetting to manually open the first piston structure and causing the ice cream to be unable to be squeezed out. When the pressure in the inner cylinder is increased, it is also beneficial to squeeze out the large-pore foam in the ice cream, making the foam of the ice cream more delicate.

[0205] Step S200 specifically includes:

[0206] Step S210: Start the rotating drive and the lifting drive simultaneously to rotate the tool and lower the lifting assembly.

[0207] Specifically, the rotating drive and the lifting drive can be started at the same time, and the cutter can be lifted and lowered while the cutter is rotating, so that crushing and stirring can be achieved at the same time.

[0208] Step S200 specifically includes:

[0209] Step S220, obtaining the real-time rotation speed of the movable shaft based on the rotation speed sensor, and obtaining the real-time lifting speed of the movable shaft based on the lifting speed sensor;

[0210] Step S230, when the real-time rotation speed is greater than the first preset rotation speed and the real-time lifting speed is greater than the first preset lifting speed, controlling the rotation driver to reduce the real-time rotation speed to the first preset rotation speed, and controlling the lifting driver to reduce the real-time lifting speed to the first preset lifting speed;

[0211] Step S240: When the real-time rotation speed is less than the second preset rotation speed and the real-time lifting speed is less than the second preset lifting speed, control the rotation driver to increase the real-time rotation speed to the second preset rotation speed, and control the lifting driver to increase the real-time lifting speed to the second preset lifting speed; wherein the first preset rotation speed is greater than the second preset rotation speed, and the first preset lifting speed is greater than the second preset lifting speed.

[0212] Specifically, different ice cream ingredients can form different ice creams. Different ice cream ingredients may have different grinding difficulty and viscosity, so it is necessary to adjust the speed of the tool rotation and the speed of the tool lifting. For example, when the grinding difficulty is greater, the speed of the tool rotation will be reduced, and the speed of the tool lifting will also be reduced. When the viscosity is greater, the speed of the tool rotation will be reduced, and the speed of the tool lifting will also be slightly reduced. Specifically, when more ice cubes are added and the temperature is low, the ice cubes are not easy to crush, and the ice cubes are still ice particles after crushing, rather than water, which causes a higher viscosity.

[0213] The rotation speed sensor of the movable shaft and the lifting speed sensor of the movable shaft are assembled to respectively collect the real-time rotation speed of the movable shaft (that is, the real-time rotation speed of the tool) and the real-time lifting speed of the movable shaft (that is, the real-time lifting speed of the tool). In the process of forming ice cream, on the one hand, the preparation time should be shortened; on the other hand, the ice cream should be prevented from melting due to excessive temperature. Therefore, the lifting speed of the tool cannot be too high or too low; the rotation speed of the tool cannot be too high or too low. The appropriate rotation speed range of the tool is between the second preset rotation speed and the first preset rotation speed, and the first preset rotation speed is greater than the second preset rotation speed; the appropriate lifting speed range of the tool is between the second preset lifting speed and the first preset lifting speed, and the first preset lifting speed is greater than the second preset rotation speed.

[0214] When the real-time rotation speed is greater than the first preset rotation speed and the real-time lifting speed is greater than the first preset lifting speed, it indicates that the real-time rotation speed and the real-time lifting speed are both too high (it may be that there are fewer ice cubes, the temperature of the ice cream raw materials is higher, and the viscosity of the ice cream raw materials is lower). In order to prevent the temperature of the ice cream from rising due to excessive frictional heat generated during rotation and lifting, it is necessary to reduce the real-time rotation speed and the real-time lifting speed. For example, the real-time rotation speed can be reduced to the first preset rotation speed, and the real-time lifting speed can be reduced to the first preset lifting speed.

[0215] When the real-time rotation speed is less than the second preset rotation speed and the real-time lifting speed is less than the second preset lifting speed, it indicates that the real-time rotation speed and the real-time lifting speed are both too low (it may be that there are too many ice cubes, the temperature of the ice cream raw materials is low, and the viscosity of the ice cream raw materials is high). In order to shorten the time, it is necessary to increase the real-time rotation speed and the real-time lifting speed. For example, the real-time rotation speed can be increased to the second preset rotation speed, and the real-time lifting speed can be increased to the second preset lifting speed.

[0216] Step S200 specifically includes:

[0217] Step S250, when the real-time rotation speed is less than the first preset rotation speed and the real-time lifting speed is greater than the first preset lifting speed, controlling the rotation driver to adjust the real-time rotation speed to the second preset rotation speed, and controlling the lifting driver to reduce the real-time lifting speed to the first preset lifting speed;

[0218] Step S260: When the real-time rotation speed is greater than the first preset rotation speed and the real-time lifting speed is less than the first preset lifting speed, control the rotation driver to reduce the real-time rotation speed to the first preset rotation speed, and control the lifting driver to adjust the real-time lifting speed to the second preset lifting speed.

[0219] Specifically, when the real-time rotation speed is less than the first preset rotation speed and the real-time lifting speed is greater than the first preset lifting speed, it indicates that the real-time lifting speed is too high, and the real-time lifting speed needs to be reduced, for example, the real-time lifting speed can be reduced to the first preset lifting speed. The real-time rotation speed may be within a suitable rotation speed range, or may be lower than the second preset rotation speed, and the real-time rotation speed may be adjusted to the second preset rotation speed.

[0220] When the real-time rotation speed is greater than the first preset rotation speed and the real-time lifting speed is less than the first preset lifting speed, it indicates that the real-time rotation speed is too high, and the real-time rotation speed needs to be reduced, for example, the real-time rotation speed can be reduced to the first preset rotation speed. The real-time lifting speed may be within the appropriate lifting speed range or may be lower than the second preset lifting speed, and the real-time lifting speed can be adjusted to the second preset lifting speed.

[0221] Step S400 specifically includes:

[0222] Step S410, start the pushing drive to drive the screw of the lead screw to rotate and the speed of the screw is a first preset screw speed, and after a preset time, control the pushing drive to adjust the speed of the screw to a second preset screw speed; wherein the first preset screw speed is greater than the second preset screw speed.

[0223] Specifically, the push drive is started to drive the lead screw to rotate, so that the push rod pushes the second piston structure, and the ice cream in the inner cylinder can be pushed by the second piston structure, and the first piston structure is pushed open, so that the ice cream in the inner cylinder can be squeezed out from the outlet structure.

[0224] Specifically, when the inner cylinder is just assembled onto the support ring, the first piston structure may not be opened, and there is no ice cream in the outlet structure. When the push rod is driven by the push driver to push the second piston structure to move, the screw rod first rotates at a relatively high speed, and the second piston structure moves at a relatively high speed, so that the first piston structure is subjected to a relatively large extrusion force and opens, and the ice cream passes through the through hole and fills the outlet structure. After a preset time, the screw rod rotates at a relatively low speed, and the second piston structure moves at a relatively slow speed, and the ice cream is squeezed out of the outlet structure at a relatively slow speed, so that the ice cream is conveniently loaded without wasting the ice cream.

[0225] The preset time is determined according to the amount of ice cream contained in the outlet structure. When the amount of ice cream contained in the outlet structure is large, a longer preset time can be used; when the amount of ice cream contained in the outlet structure is small, a shorter preset time can be used. Even if the first piston structure is manually opened, the screw rod rotates at a higher speed first, and the ice cream passes through the through hole at a higher speed and quickly fills the outlet structure. When the ice cream fills the outlet structure, the preset time is reached, and the speed of the screw rod can be reduced to the second preset screw rod speed without causing waste of ice cream.

[0226] The ice cream preparation method also includes:

[0227] Step S500, when the required number of servings of ice cream are squeezed out, the cover body is rotated to close the first piston structure and unlock it; wherein, when the first piston structure is closed and unlocked, the limit block is located in the inclined groove near one end of the first flat groove;

[0228] Step S600: when the extrusion of the ice cream is paused, the cover body is rotated to close and lock the first piston structure; wherein, when the first piston structure is closed and locked, the limit block slides in the inclined groove to the first flat groove.

[0229] Specifically, since the ice cream is not squeezed out at one time, after squeezing out a certain number of ice creams, it may take a while to squeeze out the ice cream again. In order to prevent the ice cream from melting, the cover body can be rotated to close the first piston structure and not lock it. If the interval time is relatively long, the cover body can be rotated to close and lock the first piston structure.

[0230] When the cover is rotated, the first identification part and the second identification part can be used to determine whether the first piston structure is closed and unlocked, or whether the first piston structure is closed and locked. Thus, the cover can be rotated to different states according to the first identification part and the second identification part.

[0231] The ice cream preparation method also includes:

[0232] Step S700: after the cover is rotated to open and lock the first piston structure, the second driving mechanism is started to push the second piston structure to squeeze out the ice cream; wherein, when the first piston structure is opened and locked, the limit block slides in the inclined groove to the second flat groove.

[0233] Specifically, when the cover body is rotated until it cannot be rotated further and the first identification part and the second identification part are separated, the first piston structure is in an open and locked state, and ice cream can be squeezed out by pushing the second piston structure. When the limit block is located at a position where the inclined groove is close to the second flat groove, the first piston structure is in an open and unlocked state. When the limit block is located in the second flat groove, the first piston structure is in an open and locked state.

All these improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the present invention.
