Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ice cream cabinets, and more particularly to a cabinet dedicated for displaying and selling ice cream and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Characteristics of Italian handmade ice cream: fresh, healthy, and free of additives (additives include stabilizers, preservatives, pigments, flavors, etc.). It is made and sold immediately, has a short shelf life, and has higher temperature requirements and sales scenes during storage and sales than ordinary industrial ice cream. The temperature change must be controlled within 1 degree, and the sales scene must be able to show that it is made and sold immediately, which requires a special ice cream display and sales cabinet for preservation.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors found that most of the structures of the ice cream display and sales cabinets on the market are foam boxes with an opening on the top. The foam table is fixed on the foam box by screws or gluing, and then a round hole is opened on the table. Then, stainless steel barrels containing ice cream are placed in the table. The number is set according to different flavors. A stainless steel insulation cover is set on the barrel. At the same time, the box is cooled by direct cooling. When selling, the insulation cover can be opened according to customer needs to scoop out the ice cream. Although the existing ice cream cabinet has good sealing and insulation effect, energy saving, and can ensure the freshness and good taste of the ice cream, because there is only a hole on the foam table, the ice cream cabinet has a good sealing and heat preservation effect. The circular hole in the cabinet cannot be opened elsewhere, and the sanitary dead corners in the cabinet cannot be thoroughly cleaned. Long-term use will lead to bacterial growth, thus affecting the quality of the ice cream and easily causing food safety problems. At the same time, during the refrigeration process of the cabinet, due to the direct cooling method, the cold air tends to sink to the bottom of the barrel due to its heavy weight, making the upper and lower temperatures in the barrel uneven, resulting in poor overall refrigeration effect, which is not conducive to the storage of ice cream. Therefore, in view of this, the existing structure is studied and improved, and a special cabinet for ice cream display and sales and a control method thereof are provided, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Summary of the invention

[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a special cabinet for displaying and selling ice cream and a control method thereof, which can add a foaming table on the top of the refrigerating cabinet, add a placement rack inside, and stacked drums, inner drums and sealed inner covers, so that it is more convenient to clean the inside of the refrigerating cabinet, and solve the problem that traditional special cabinets for displaying and selling ice cream cannot thoroughly clean the sanitary dead corners in the cabinet, which leads to bacterial breeding and affects the quality of ice cream. At the same time, by adding a bracket and a placement rack, the drum in the cabinet can be emptied. Under the action of the fan, cold air circulation inside the refrigerating cabinet is realized, ensuring that the upper and lower temperatures in the refrigerating cabinet are uniform, greatly improving the overall refrigeration effect, and allowing the ice cream to be better stored.
