[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the orientation terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside that appear or will appear in the text of the present invention are only based on the drawings of the present invention, and they do not specifically limit the present invention.

[0029] See Figure 1 and Figure 2, an embodiment of the present invention discloses an externally refrigerated multi-functional ice cream machine, which includes a housing assembly 1, a material barrel assembly 2, a stirring assembly 3, a refrigeration assembly 4 and an auxiliary material assembly 5. The housing assembly 1 includes a chassis 11 and a housing 12 provided on the chassis 11. The chassis 11 and the housing 12 are connected to each other. The material barrel assembly 2 is provided in the housing 12. The material barrel assembly 2 includes a material storage barrel 21. Liquid can enter the material storage barrel 21 and be frozen and stirred in the material storage barrel 21. The refrigeration assembly 4 can cool the liquid, and the stirring assembly 3 can stir the cooling liquid to form ice cream and prevent the ice cream from forming ice cubes.

[0030] See Figure 2 , the refrigeration assembly 4 includes a refrigeration barrel 41. Different from traditional ice cream machines, in the embodiment of the present invention, the material storage barrel 21 is provided in the refrigeration barrel 41. The refrigerant exchanges heat with the liquid / solid-liquid mixture in the material storage barrel 21 in the refrigeration coil 42. The stirring assembly 3 stirs the liquid / solid-liquid mixture in the material storage barrel 21, that is, the liquid / solid-liquid mixture is frozen and stirred in the refrigeration barrel 41. The stirring assembly 3 includes a stirring member 31. The stirring member 31 passes through the material storage barrel 21. The stirring member 31 can rotate in the material storage barrel 21 to stir the ice cream in the material storage barrel 21 and prevent the liquid from forming lumps during the freezing process.

[0031] Since the liquid / solid-liquid mixture is stored, frozen and stirred in the refrigeration barrel 41, it does not need to occupy the space outside the refrigeration barrel 41, and can make full use of the space in the refrigeration barrel 41. While improving the space utilization rate, other functional modules can be set in the housing assembly 1. In the embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary material assembly 5 can accommodate the first auxiliary material for use when it is necessary to add auxiliary materials to the ice cream. The auxiliary material assembly 5 is provided on the side of the housing 12. The auxiliary material assembly 5 includes an auxiliary material storage bin 51 and an auxiliary material discharge hopper 52. The auxiliary material storage bin 51 can store and hold the auxiliary material, and the auxiliary material discharge hopper 52 can discharge the auxiliary material. A first storage groove 122 is provided on the side of the housing 12. The auxiliary material storage bin 51 is fixed in the first storage groove 122. The auxiliary material storage bin 51 and the first storage groove 122 are detachably fixed for easy later addition of auxiliary materials. The auxiliary material storage bin 51 can accommodate the first auxiliary material. The auxiliary material discharge hopper 52 is communicated with the auxiliary material storage bin 51. The first auxiliary material can enter the auxiliary material discharge hopper 52 from the auxiliary material storage bin 51 and can be discharged from the auxiliary material discharge hopper 52. In the embodiment of the present invention, the first auxiliary material can be solid auxiliary materials such as fruit grains and nut fragments. Due to the setting of the auxiliary material assembly 5, during use, the formed ice cream can be added with auxiliary materials by using the auxiliary material assembly 5 without taking them from the outside, which is convenient to use.

[0032] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present invention are as follows:

[0033] The externally refrigerated multifunctional ice cream machine of the embodiments of the present invention is provided with a housing assembly 1, a material barrel assembly 2, a stirring assembly 3, a refrigeration assembly 4 and an auxiliary material assembly 5. Among them, the material barrel assembly 2 includes a material storage barrel 21 that can accommodate liquids such as beverages, and the refrigeration assembly 4 includes a refrigeration barrel 41. The material storage barrel 21 is arranged inside the refrigeration barrel 41. The stirring assembly 3 includes a stirring member 31, and the stirring member 31 is arranged inside the material storage barrel 21. During use, the refrigeration barrel 41 can freeze the liquid inside the material storage barrel 21, and the stirring member 31 can stir the frozen liquid inside the material storage barrel 21. Different from traditional ice cream machines, the externally refrigerated multifunctional ice cream machine of the present invention can arrange the material storage barrel 21 and the stirring member 31 inside the refrigeration barrel 41, so as to make full use of the space inside the refrigeration barrel 41, reduce the occupied space outside the refrigeration barrel 41, and the remaining space can be used to arrange the auxiliary material assembly 5. The auxiliary material assembly 5 includes an auxiliary material storage bin 51 and an auxiliary material discharge hopper 52. The auxiliary material storage bin 51 can accommodate the first auxiliary material. When the first auxiliary material needs to be added, there is no need to take it from the outside, thereby improving the space utilization rate, and having the function of adding auxiliary materials, which is convenient to use.

[0034] See Figure 2 , the material storage barrel 21 is detachably arranged inside the refrigeration barrel 41, so as to facilitate the disassembly of the material storage barrel 21 from the refrigeration barrel 41, which is convenient for the cleaning and maintenance of the material storage barrel 21. The inner wall of the refrigeration barrel 41 is in close contact with the outer wall of the material storage barrel 21, so as to facilitate the heat exchange and freezing of the refrigerant and the liquid inside the material storage barrel 21. The inner wall of the refrigeration coil 42 and the outer wall of the refrigeration barrel 41 form a refrigeration channel 43, and the refrigerant can flow inside the refrigeration channel 43 to freeze the liquid through the refrigeration barrel 41 and the material storage barrel 21.

[0035] See Figure 3In order to stir and push the material, the stirring member 31 further includes a pushing curved surface 312, which spirally surrounds the outer side of the rotating shaft 311. The rotating shaft 311 can drive the pushing curved surface 312 to rotate. In some embodiments, the rotating shaft 311 and the pushing curved surface 312 are integrally formed. The stirring member 31 of a traditional ice cream machine is usually arranged outside the material storage barrel 21. In order to be installed outside the material storage barrel 21 and avoid interference with the material storage barrel 21, multiple hollows are provided between the pushing curved surface 312 and the rotating shaft 311. In addition, in order to save space, the pushing action surface of the stirring member 31 is very small, and the stirring effect on the solid-liquid mixture is relatively limited. In order to make full use of the internal space of the material storage barrel 21 and improve the stirring effect on the solid-liquid mixture, unlike the stirring element 31 of the traditional ice cream machine, the outer edge of the pushing surface 312 of the embodiment of the present invention forms a continuous and smooth curved surface with the side wall of the rotating shaft 311. Since there is no hollowing between the pushing surface 312 and the rotating shaft 311, the effective area of the pushing surface 312 on the solid-liquid mixture is greatly improved, and can fill the entire internal space of the material storage barrel 21. Furthermore, the circumferential diameter formed by the outer edge of the pushing surface 312 is not less than the diameter of the rotating shaft 311, so that the stirring element 31 can obtain sufficient stirring area and stirring space, can fully stir the solid-liquid mixture, and can improve the taste of the ice cream. In order to drive the stirring member 31, the stirring assembly 3 also includes a stirring driving member 32, and the stirring driving member 32 is preferably a rotary motor. The stirring driving member 32 passes through the storage barrel 21 and is transmission-connected to the stirring member 31. The stirring driving member 32 can drive the stirring member 31 to rotate in the storage barrel 21 to stir the frozen liquid to prevent freezing.

[0036] Furthermore, the distance between the end of the pusher curved surface 312 close to the discharge port and the discharge port is in the range of 1 cm to 6 cm. The pusher curved surface 312 can be as close to the discharge port as possible, which can ensure that the solid-liquid mixture is stirred during the movement to the greatest extent, further improving the sufficiency and uniformity of the stirring.

[0037] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4The shell 12 includes a first side plate 121, and the first side plate 121 is provided with a first storage groove 122. The auxiliary material component 5 is arranged in the first storage groove 122. In order to control the discharge of the first auxiliary material, the auxiliary material component 5 also includes a discharge wheel 53 and a wheel knob 54. The bottom of the auxiliary material storage bin 51 is provided with an auxiliary material discharge port 511, and the top of the auxiliary material discharge hopper 52 is provided with an auxiliary material drop-in port 521. The discharge wheel 53 and the wheel knob 54 are arranged between the auxiliary material discharge port 511 and the auxiliary material drop-in port 521. The first auxiliary material can fall into the discharge wheel 53 from the auxiliary material discharge port 511, and can fall into the auxiliary material drop-in port 521 from the discharge wheel 53. The discharge wheel 53 can control the dropping and speed of the first auxiliary material. The wheel knob 54 is coaxially fixedly connected to the unloading wheel 53 , and the wheel knob 54 can drive the unloading wheel 53 to rotate. A plurality of rotating plates 531 are provided on the circumference of the unloading wheel 53, and the rotating plates 531 are radially dispersed on the circumference of the unloading wheel 53, and a material receiving trough 532 is formed between adjacent rotating plates 531, and the material receiving trough 532 is trapezoidal or triangular in shape. When the notch of the material receiving trough 532 faces upward, the first auxiliary material can fall into the material receiving trough 532 from the auxiliary material storage bin 51, and when the rotating wheel knob 54 drives the unloading wheel 53 to rotate, it can drive the plurality of material receiving troughs 532 to rotate alternately between the auxiliary material discharge port 511 and the auxiliary material inlet 521, and the unloading wheel 53 can drive the material receiving troughs 532 to rotate so that the notches of some of the material receiving troughs 532 face downward, thereby releasing the first auxiliary material in the material receiving trough 532 to the auxiliary material inlet 521.

[0038] To fix the rotating wheel knob 54 and the blanking rotating wheel 53, a fixing seat 55 is further provided between the blanking rotating wheel 53 and the rotating wheel knob 54. The blanking rotating wheel 53 is rotatably arranged in the fixing seat 55, and the rotating wheel knob 54 is connected to one side of the fixing seat 55 away from the housing 12 to facilitate the user's operation on the side of the housing 12. In the embodiment of the present invention, the cross-section of the auxiliary material discharge port 511 gradually decreases from top to bottom to control the discharge amount of the first auxiliary material. The fixing seat 55 is provided with a surrounding plate 551. The surrounding plate 551 surrounds both sides of the blanking rotating wheel 53. When the first auxiliary material falls, the surrounding plate 551 can surround the side of the material receiving groove 532 to prevent the first auxiliary material from tilting sideways when the material receiving groove 532 is not completely facing downwards. The surrounding plate 551 can block the first auxiliary material on the side to ensure that the first auxiliary material in the material receiving groove 532 can accurately fall into the auxiliary material inlet 521. The cross-sectional area of the auxiliary material inlet 521 is larger than the area enclosed by the two surrounding plates 551. The auxiliary material discharge hopper 52 is further provided with an auxiliary material discharge plate 522. The auxiliary material discharge plate 522 is located below the auxiliary material inlet 521 and is inclined downwards to facilitate the discharge of the first auxiliary material along the auxiliary material discharge plate 522.

[0039] See Figure 5 , the external refrigeration type multi-functional ice cream machine further includes a heating component 6. The heating component 6 includes a heating element 61 and a material cup 62. The heating element 61 is arranged at the bottom of the first supporting plate 123. The material cup 62 can be placed on the first supporting plate 123. The heating element 61 is preferably a component with a heating function such as PTC or a heating wire. The second auxiliary material can be placed in the material cup 62. The second auxiliary material is an auxiliary material that needs to be heated, such as chocolate. The heating element 61 can heat the second auxiliary material in the material cup 62. During use, the second auxiliary material such as chocolate can be placed in the material cup 62, and the heating element 61 heats the material cup 62 to melt the second auxiliary material.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first supporting plate 123 is arranged below the auxiliary material discharge hopper 52, that is, the material cup 62 can be placed below the auxiliary material discharge hopper 52. During use, if the second auxiliary material does not need to be heated and melted, the material cup 62 can also receive the first auxiliary material from the auxiliary material component 5, or after the second auxiliary material melts in the material cup 62, the material cup 62 can also receive the first auxiliary material from the auxiliary material component 5 to combine the first auxiliary material and the second auxiliary material.

[0041] See Figure 1, a blanking chute 126 is further provided at the bottom of the first storage tank 122. The auxiliary material discharge hopper 52 is disposed in the blanking chute 126.

In this way, the cone can be placed in the supporting hole 721. The hinged plate 72 stores and supports the cone, which is convenient for users to use. When the cone is used up or not needed, the hinged plate 72 can be received in the receiving groove 712.

[0043] See Figure 7 , in the embodiment of the present invention, the refrigeration assembly 4 further includes a compressor 44, a condenser 45 and a cooling fan 46. The refrigerant flows in the compressor 44, the condenser 45, a throttling component (such as a throttle valve, a capillary tube, etc.) and the evaporation tube of the refrigeration cylinder 41. The refrigerant freezes the liquid in the storage cylinder 21 in the refrigeration cylinder 41. The refrigerant releases the heat obtained in the condenser 45. The cooling fan 46 dissipates the heat released by the condenser 45 and the high-temperature heat of the compressor 44. The bottom of the compressor 44 is fixed on the chassis 11. The condenser 45 is vertically disposed on the side of the compressor 44. The cooling fan 46 is fixed on the side of the condenser 45 away from the compressor 44. The cooling fan 46 can dissipate heat from the condenser 45 and the compressor 44 at the same time.
