Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of food appliances, and particularly to a modular ice cream machine. Background Art

[0002] Ice cream machines are commonly used to make ice cream, smoothies, etc., and can also be used to crush some ingredients. Such ice cream machines generally include a machine body and a cup body. During use, the cup body is placed in the working area of the machine body, and the machine body uses a cutter head to crush the contents of the cup body, and then the cup body is taken out of the machine body. During the process of the cutter head crushing the contents of the cup body, the cutter head rotates and moves up and down. The machine body is composed of a housing module and a drive module located inside it. The housing module is used to accommodate the drive module and place the cup body, and the operation of the drive module drives the cutter head to rotate and move up and down. Among them, the cutter head is usually arranged in the cup cover on the top of the cup body. During the disassembly and assembly of the cup body, the cup cover is buckled on the cup body and is disassembled and assembled together with the cup body, and the output end of the drive module has a connector. During operation, the drive module drives the connector to move down to be inserted into the cutter head, and then the cutter head can rotate and lift synchronously with the connector.

[0003] In the prior art, as shown in the patent with publication number CN119453357A, a lifting platform is arranged inside, and structures such as a transmission rod, a synchronous belt, a first pulley, a second pulley, and a stirring shaft are arranged on the lifting platform. A drive chain composed of a stirring motor, a transmission rod, a first pulley, a synchronous belt, a second pulley, and a stirring shaft is used to drive the connector to rotate, and another structure such as a lifting motor and a lead screw is arranged to lift the lifting platform to realize the lifting of the connector. In this solution, structures such as a lifting component and a transmission component form a drive module that can drive the connector to rotate and lift.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned lifting platform for carrying and installing structures such as a transmission rod, a synchronous belt, a first pulley, a second pulley, and a stirring shaft needs to be lifted inside the housing. Since the lifting platform occupies a relatively large volume, a relatively large space inside the housing is required to accommodate the lifting platform. As a result, the drive module for driving the connector to rotate and lift requires a large installation space, which is not convenient for arranging other components of the ice cream machine inside the housing.

[0035] Refer to Figures 1-13, A modular ice cream machine, which includes a housing module 10, a cup body 20, and a drive module 30. A cup cavity 40 is provided on the outer side of the housing module 10. The cup body 20 is arranged in the cup cavity 40, and the drive module 30 is arranged inside the housing module 10. Among them, the drive module 30 includes a bracket assembly 31, a first pulley 32, a first drive assembly 33, a mounting seat 34, a second drive assembly 35, and a transmission rod 36. The first pulley 32 is rotatably arranged on the bracket assembly 31. The first drive assembly 33 is in transmission connection with the first pulley 32. The first drive assembly 33 is used to drive the first pulley 32 to rotate. The mounting seat 34 is slidably arranged up and down on the bracket assembly 31. The second drive assembly 35 is in transmission connection with the mounting seat 34. The second drive assembly 35 is used to drive the mounting seat 34 to slide up and down along the bracket assembly 31. One end of the transmission rod 36 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 34, and the other end of the transmission rod 36 slidably passes through the first pulley 32 and is connected with a connecting head 50. A cup cover is provided at the top of the cup body 20, and a cutter head is arranged inside the cup cover.

[0036] During operation, the mounting seat 34 is first located at the top of the stroke. Control the second drive assembly 35 to operate. Drive the mounting seat 34 and the transmission rod 36 to move downward through the second drive assembly 35. The connecting head 50 connected to the transmission rod 36 also moves downward accordingly. When the connecting head 50 moves downward to the position where it is inserted and docked with the cutter head, the first drive assembly 33 operates to drive the first pulley 32 and the transmission rod 36 to rotate, and then the cutter head can be driven to rotate through the connecting head 50. After the mounting seat 34 moves downward to the bottom of the stroke, the second drive assembly 35 runs in the reverse direction to drive the mounting seat 34 and the transmission rod 36 to move upward. Among them, multiple sensors can be arranged on the bracket assembly 31 to detect the following positions of the mounting seat 34: the mounting seat 34 is located at the top of the stroke, the mounting seat 34 moves downward to the bottom of the stroke, and the mounting seat 34 moves downward to make the connecting head 50 complete the insertion and docking with the cutter head.

[0037] As described above, the first pulley 32 and the first drive assembly 33 can maintain their height positions unchanged. The transmission rod 36 and the connecting head 50 are driven to lift and lower by the up and down movement of the mounting seat 34. The mounting seat 34 has a small size and requires less space for lifting and lowering, which can effectively reduce the installation space occupied by the drive module 30, facilitate the arrangement inside the housing module 10, and make it convenient to arrange other components inside the housing module 10.

[0038] In this embodiment, the bracket assembly 31 includes a plate body 311, a first seat shell 312, and a second seat shell 313. The first seat shell 312 is arranged on the top of the plate body 311 and is fixed to it by screws. The first seat shell 312 and the plate body 311 enclose a first installation cavity for accommodating the first pulley 32. The second seat shell 313 is arranged on the top of the first seat shell 312 and is fixed to it by screws. The top of the second seat shell 313 is connected with the second drive assembly 35.

[0039] A retaining plate 321 is inserted into the upper and lower sides of the first pulley 32. A sleeve 322 is inserted between the first pulley 32 and the retaining plate 321. The other end of the transmission rod 36 is inserted between the sleeve 322 and the plate 311. The sidewall of the transmission rod 36 has a first flat surface, the inner side of the sleeve 322 has a second flat surface that abuts the first flat surface, the outer side of the sleeve 322 has a third flat surface, and the inner side of the retaining plate 321 has a fourth flat surface that abuts the third flat surface. Bearings are mounted on the upper and lower ends of the sleeve 322, respectively inserted into the plate 311 and the first housing 312, to rotatably mount the first pulley 32 within the first mounting cavity. The mating of these flat surfaces allows the transmission rod 36 to slide up and down relative to the first pulley 32, and rotation of the first pulley 32 drives the transmission rod 36 to rotate as well.

[0040] In this embodiment, a limiting frame 314 is provided on the plate body 311. The first drive assembly 33 includes a first motor 331, a second pulley 332, and a transmission belt 333. The first motor 331 is provided on the plate body 311, and the rotating shaft of the first motor 331 is rotatably inserted into the limiting frame 314. The second pulley 332 is located on the inner side of the limiting frame 314 and is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft of the first motor 331. The transmission belt 333 is wound around the first pulley 32 and the second pulley 332. The transmission belt 333 can be configured as a toothed belt to provide more stable transmission and avoid slipping. The above structure can connect the first drive assembly 33 to the first pulley 32; the limiting frame 314 can make the rotation of the second pulley 332 more stable; the limiting frame 314 and the first mounting cavity can prevent the transmission belt 333 from completely separating from the first pulley 32 and the second pulley 332 due to jumping.

[0041] In this embodiment, a plurality of guide rods 315 are longitudinally disposed on the inner side of the second housing 313. The ends of the guide rods 315 are respectively connected to the first housing 312 and the second housing 313. The mounting seat 34 is located within the second housing 313 and is slidably mounted on the guide rods 315. This structure allows the mounting seat 34 to slide stably.

[0042] In this embodiment, the second drive assembly 35 includes a reduction gearbox 351, a second motor 352, and a screw member 353. The reduction gearbox 351 is fixedly mounted on the second base housing 313. The second motor 352 is fixedly mounted on the reduction gearbox 351 and is transmission-connected to the input end of the reduction gearbox 351. The screw member 353 is located within the second base housing 313 and is cooperatively disposed through the mounting base 34. The lower end of the screw member 353 is rotationally connected to the first base housing 312, and the upper end of the screw member 353 is transmission-connected to the output end of the reduction gearbox 351. When the second motor 352 is in operation, it can drive the mounting base 34 to slide up and down via the screw member 353.

[0043] In the above structure, both the first motor 331 and the second motor 352 are fixedly positioned and will not move along with the connector 50, which can effectively reduce the jitter and noise during the operation of the ice cream machine and improve the user experience. In addition, the structure of the second drive assembly 35 is relatively compact, and the transmission chain between the second motor 352 and the screw member 353 is short. Similarly, the structure of the first drive assembly 33 is also relatively compact, and the transmission chain between the first motor 331 and the transmission rod 36 is short. In this way, the space volume occupied by the drive module 30 can be effectively reduced, which is convenient for arranging inside the ice cream machine.
