Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of equipment for preparing ice cream, and in particular to an ice cream extrusion slice line former. Background Art

[0002] The ice cream extrusion slicing line former is a component for forming ice cream. A feed port is provided at the upper position of the former, and the feed port is connected to a feed pipe to convey the frozen ice cream (temperature is about minus 5°C) into the former, and the frozen ice cream is extruded into a mold at the end of the former by relying on the pressure provided by the feed part to form ice cream matching the mold style. A reciprocating slicer is provided below the outlet of the mold to cut the extruded and formed ice cream one by one, so as to continuously produce a number of ice creams, and convey a number of ice creams in sequence via the belt line below the former.

[0003] Before the production of the ice cream, the temperature of the former is 15-25°C above zero, while the temperature of the frozen ice cream entering the former is about -5°C below zero. When the frozen ice cream contacts the former, the ice cream will melt. If the melted ice cream is not discharged in time, the weight of the product (i.e., a number of formed ice creams) will fluctuate within a range of about ±5 grams. As a result, unqualified products will continue to be produced for 10-20 minutes, resulting in a high product unqualified rate and a waste of raw materials.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide an ice cream extrusion slice line former that avoids the above-mentioned defects has become a technical problem that technicians in this field need to solve urgently. Summary of the invention

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides an ice cream extrusion slice line former.

[0006] The specific technical solutions are as follows:

[0007] An ice cream extrusion slice line former comprises a body with a chamber inside, the body having a downstream section forming a mold, a feed port communicating with the chamber is provided at an upper position of the body, the internal flow channel of the mold is formed in a flow direction from top to bottom during operation so that the formed ice cream is discharged from the outlet of the mold in a vertically downward direction, a discharge port communicating with the chamber is provided at an upper position of the body, the discharge port is provided at a central position on the top of the body, the discharge port and the outlet of the mold both have an open state and a closed state, and when in use:

[0008] The discharge port is in a closed state and the outlet of the mold is in an open state, so that the melted ice cream at a lower position is discharged through the outlet of the mold; or

[0009] The discharge port is in an open state and the outlet of the mold is in a closed state, so that the melted ice cream at the upper position is discharged through the discharge port.

[0010] Preferably, a discharge pipe with a valve is installed at the discharge port, and the opening or closing of the valve causes the discharge port to be in an open state or a closed state.

[0011] Preferably, a blocking piece is further included, the shape of which matches the shape of the outlet of the mold, and the outlet of the mold is in an open state or a closed state when the blocking piece blocks or does not block the outlet of the mold.

[0012] Preferably, the side wall of the mold is provided with a rod insertion opening having a height and a shape matching that of an ice cream stick, so that a plurality of ice cream sticks being transported can be inserted into the interior of the ice cream flowing downward from top to bottom in the mold through the rod insertion opening in sequence.

[0013] Preferably, the several cut shaped ice creams all have the same thickness, the several ice cream sticks have the same thickness, the height of the rod insertion opening is greater than the sum of the thicknesses of a single shaped ice cream and a single ice cream stick, and the distance between the position of the rod insertion opening corresponding to receiving the bottom end of the ice cream stick and the outlet of the mold is greater than the thickness of a single shaped ice cream.

[0014] Preferably, the main body comprises a square shell, a shrinking shell and an elliptical shell which are internally connected in sequence, the elliptical shell forms the mold, the discharge port is opened at the top of the square shell, and a feed port is opened at the upper position of the two opposite side walls of the square shell.

[0015] Preferably, the ice cream stick is in the shape of an elongated sheet, and the cross-sectional shape of the stick insertion opening along the vertical direction is a rectangle.

[0016] The ice cream extrusion slicer provided by the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0017] A discharge port is arranged at the upper position of the former to discharge the melted ice cream at the upper end by means of pressure holding, and the melted ice cream at the lower end is discharged in coordination with the outlet of the mold, so that the ice cream produced by the former will not affect the weight movement of the product.

[0018] Preferably, a discharge pipe with a valve is installed at the discharge port, so that the discharge port can be quickly opened or closed.

[0019] Preferably, a blocking piece is further included, the shape of which matches the shape of the outlet of the mold, so that the outlet of the mold can be quickly opened or closed. The blocking piece can be flexible, such as a towel, which completely wraps the outlet of the mold to keep it in a closed state.

[0020] Preferably, the former is capable of forming ice cream with ice cream sticks.

[0021] In the conventional stick insertion action, after the ice cream is inserted into the ice cream stick, it is immediately output from the mold and then cut off, which will make the tail of the ice cream concave (the impact generated when the ice cream stick contacts the ice cream evolves into a concave shape). Preferably, the height of the stick insertion opening is limited so that the stick is inserted at the position of the ice cream product before it is formed, so that the ice cream after the stick is inserted can still be squeezed in the mold before it is cut off, so that the concave part caused by the impact force generated when the stick is inserted can have a buffer time to be squeezed and filled again in the mold, so as to avoid the existence of the concave shape.

[0029] Combination Figure 1-4 The present invention provides an ice cream extrusion slice line former, which comprises a body with a cavity inside, the body having a downstream section forming a mold 1, a feed port 2 communicating with the cavity is provided at the upper position of the body, when working, the internal flow channel of the mold 1 is formed in a flow direction from top to bottom so that the formed ice cream is output from the mold outlet 4 along the vertical downward direction, a discharge port 3 communicating with the cavity is provided at the upper position of the body, the discharge port 3 and the mold outlet 4 both have an open state and a closed state, when in use:

[0030] The discharge port 3 is in a closed state, and the outlet 4 of the mold is in an open state, so that the melted ice cream at the lower position is discharged through the outlet 4 of the mold; or

[0031] The discharge port 3 is in an open state and the outlet 4 of the mold is in a closed state, so that the melted ice cream at the upper position is discharged through the discharge port 3 .

[0032] The melted ice cream is discharged before the production of the molded ice cream begins. Specifically, when the frozen ice cream enters the former, the discharge port 3 is first closed and the outlet 4 of the mold is opened, so that the melted ice cream at the lower position is discharged through the outlet 4 of the mold. When the shape of the ice cream discharged from the outlet 4 of the mold is observed to be close to the shape of the frozen ice cream, the state is switched, so that the discharge port 3 is opened and the outlet 4 of the mold is closed, so that the melted ice cream at the upper position is discharged through the discharge port 3. Similarly, when the shape of the ice cream discharged from the discharge port 3 is close to the shape of the frozen ice cream, the discharge port 3 is closed, and then the opening 4 of the mold is opened to start subsequent production.

[0033] A discharge port 3 is arranged at the upper position of the former to discharge the melted ice cream at the upper end by means of pressure holding, and the melted ice cream at the lower end is discharged in cooperation with the outlet 4 of the mold, so that the ice cream produced by the former will not affect the weight movement of the product.

[0034] In a specific implementation manner, Figure 1-2 As shown, a discharge pipe 6 with a valve 5 is installed at the discharge port 3, and the opening or closing of the valve 5 makes the discharge port 3 open or closed.

[0035] A discharge pipe 6 with a valve 5 is installed at the discharge port 3, which can quickly open or close the discharge port 3. When the melted ice cream is discharged through the discharge port 3 and the discharge pipe 6, it can be visually seen that when the ice cream to be discharged presents the shape of frozen ice cream, the valve 5 is closed.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, a blocking piece is further included, the shape of which matches the shape of the outlet 4 of the mold. The blocking piece blocks or does not block the outlet 4 of the mold so that the outlet 4 of the mold is in an open state or a closed state.

[0037] The shape of the blocking piece matches the shape of the outlet 4 of the mold, so that the outlet 4 of the mold can be quickly opened or closed. The blocking piece can be flexible, such as a towel, which can completely wrap the outlet 4 of the mold, so that it is in a closed state, and the towel is in a knotted state to stably wrap the outlet 4 of the mold, and when the towel is untied and removed, it can be converted to an open state.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, the discharge port 3 is opened at the top of the body. Preferably, the discharge port 3 is opened at the central position of the top of the body (the central position is the center of all contact parts of the body and the ice cream (such as the inner side wall of the cavity of the body)), so that the melted ice cream discharged from the bottom to the top in the cavity can be evenly and synchronously moved to the central position from all places, thereby improving the efficiency of the discharge.

[0039] In a specific implementation manner, Figure 1-2 As shown, the side wall of the mold 1 is provided with a rod insertion opening 7 with a height and a shape matching that of an ice cream stick, so that a plurality of ice cream sticks 8 to be transported are sequentially inserted through the rod insertion opening 7 into the interior of the ice cream flowing downward from top to bottom in the mold 1 .

[0040] The former is capable of forming ice cream with ice cream sticks 8 .

[0041] Combination Figure 1-2 In this specific embodiment, the cut pieces of shaped ice cream all have the same thickness, the pieces of ice cream sticks 8 have the same thickness, the height of the rod insertion opening 7 is greater than the sum of the thicknesses of a single shaped ice cream and a single ice cream stick 8, and the distance between the position of the rod insertion opening 7 corresponding to the bottom end of the ice cream stick 8 and the outlet 4 of the mold is greater than the thickness of a single shaped ice cream.

[0042] In the conventional stick insertion action, after the ice cream is inserted into the ice cream stick 8, it is immediately output from the mold 1 and then cut off, which will make the tail of the ice cream concave (the impact generated when the ice cream stick 8 contacts the ice cream evolves into a concave shape). Preferably, the height of the stick insertion opening 7 is limited so that the stick is inserted at the position of the ice cream product before it is formed, so that the ice cream after the stick is inserted can still be squeezed in the mold 1 before it is cut off, so that the concave part caused by the impact force generated when the stick is inserted can have a buffer time to be squeezed and filled again in the mold 1, so as to avoid the existence of the concave shape.

[0043] For details, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 comparison.

[0044] Combination Figure 1-2 In this specific embodiment, the main body includes a square shell 9, a shrink shell 10 and an elliptical shell which are sequentially connected to each other internally. The elliptical shell forms the mold 1. The discharge port 3 is opened at the top of the square shell 9, and a feed port 2 is opened at the upper position of the opposite side walls of the square shell 9.

[0045] The ice cream stick 8 is in the shape of an elongated sheet, and the cross-sectional shape of the stick insertion opening 7 along the vertical direction is a rectangle.
