Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for controlling the rotational speed of a stirring motor of a snow melter. Background Art

[0002] A slush machine, also known as a smoothie machine, is a household or commercial device used to make slushy drinks. These machines are now used for a variety of purposes, including milkshakes, alcoholic beverages, fruit drinks, and smoothies. However, as their functionality grows, slush machines are prone to problems with certain drinks, including poor taste, difficulty discharging the material, and motor idling or overloading. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for controlling the speed of a stirring motor of a snow melt machine, which controls the speed of the stirring motor according to different beverage modes of the snow melt machine, thereby achieving energy saving and improving the taste of food made by the snow melt machine.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solutions adopted by the present invention are as follows:

[0005] A method for controlling the speed of a stirring motor for a snow melter, wherein the snow melter has a processing portion for making food, the processing portion including a material barrel, an agitator, and a stirring motor, the agitator being disposed within the material barrel and connected to the stirring motor, the snow melter being provided with M beverage modes, denoted as {beverage mode 1, beverage mode 2, ... beverage mode M}, and pre-setting M speed modes for the stirring motor, denoted as {speed mode 1, speed mode 2, ... speed mode M}, such that the M beverage modes correspond one-to-one to the M speed modes, and each beverage mode has a corresponding speed mode, where M is a positive integer and M>1.

[0006] The present invention designs different speeds for different beverage modes. When the snow melter is working, after the beverage mode is selected, the stirring motor rotates in the corresponding speed mode, which can avoid the stirring motor from being idling or overloaded, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving; using different speed modes to make different foods can also ensure the taste of the food.

[0007] The present invention has the following preferred designs:

[0008] The beverage modes of the present invention include, but are not limited to, a slush mode, a cold drink mode, a cocktail mode, a milkshake mode, a soft-serve ice cream mode, and a juice mode. Based on the varying fluidity of the ingredients, the present invention sets different rotational speeds for the production process, allowing each ingredient to be stirred at different stirring frequencies, thereby further improving the taste of foods made with each ingredient.

[0009] In the present invention, each beverage mode corresponds to a beverage processing process and is configured with N processing states, denoted as {processing state 1, processing state 2, ..., processing state N}. Each processing state corresponds to a speed of the stirring motor, where N is a positive integer, N>1. Different speeds are configured for the stirring motor according to different processing states.

[0010] As a feasible implementation method, in each processing state of each beverage mode, the speed of the stirring motor is set corresponding to the real-time temperature value of the beverage raw material.

[0011] As a more optimal implementation method, in the snowmelt mode, as the temperature of the raw materials decreases, the speed of the stirring motor is increased. In the process of making snowmelt smoothies, the stirring motor uses a lower speed in the early stage of refrigeration to reduce output power and consume less electricity; in the middle stage of refrigeration, a standard speed is used to meet normal stirring requirements; in the latter stage of refrigeration, a high speed higher than the standard speed is used to increase the discharge thrust, thereby improving the discharge capacity of snowmelt food. In the cold drink mode, as the temperature of the raw materials decreases, the speed of the stirring motor is reduced, which can reduce the impact speed when the liquid beverage is discharged and make the discharge smoother. In the soft ice cream mode, as the number of discharges increases, the amount of ice cream material in the barrel becomes less and less. The speed of the stirring motor can be increased automatically or manually, so that the ice cream material is closer to the discharge port of the barrel, increasing the internal discharge thrust and facilitating discharge. Increasing the speed of the stirring motor can enhance the discharge capacity of the ice cream material.

[0012] The snow melter of the present invention is designed with different stirring motor speeds based on different functions. As a feasible embodiment, the snow melter of the present invention has a cleaning mode. The stirring motor's cleaning state speed is set corresponding to the cleaning mode. The cleaning state speed is greater than or equal to the highest speed in each beverage mode. In cleaning mode, the stirring motor operates at a higher speed than the standard speed to improve cleaning effect and reduce cleaning time.

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The present invention designs different speeds for different beverage modes. When the snow melter is working, after the beverage mode is selected, the stirring motor rotates at the corresponding speed mode to achieve energy saving.

[0015] 2. Based on the selection of the beverage mode, the present invention sets different processing states corresponding to the beverage processing process, and matches different speeds to the corresponding processing states, so that different beverages can be stirred and processed with different stirring motor speeds throughout the entire processing process, thereby improving the taste of the beverage.

[0016] 3. In the snow-melting mode, during the food refrigeration and forming process, the present invention matches different rotation speeds according to the temperature of the raw materials. The stirring motor uses a lower rotation speed in the early stage of refrigeration to reduce output power and consume less electricity; uses a standard rotation speed in the middle stage of refrigeration to meet normal stirring requirements; and uses a higher rotation speed than the standard rotation speed in the late stage of refrigeration to increase the discharge thrust, thereby improving the discharge capacity of snow-melting food.

[0017] 4. In the cold drink mode of the present invention, as the temperature of the raw materials decreases, the rotation speed of the stirring motor is reduced, which can reduce the impact speed when the liquid beverage is discharged and make the discharge more stable.

[0018] 5. In the soft ice cream mode of the present invention, in the early stage of refrigeration, when the temperature of the ice cream is high, the stirring motor speed is low. As the number of discharges increases, the amount of ice cream material in the bucket decreases, and the stirring motor speed can be automatically or manually increased, so that the stirrer pushes the ice cream material to an area closer to the discharge port of the bucket, facilitating discharge. Increasing the stirring motor speed can enhance the discharge capacity of the ice cream material.

[0019] 6. The present invention sets different stirring motor speeds according to different functions of the snow melter. In the cleaning mode, the stirring motor operates at a higher speed than the standard speed to improve the cleaning effect and reduce the cleaning time. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the technical solutions of the present invention.

[0021] A method for controlling the speed of a stirring motor for a snow melter, wherein the snow melter has a processing portion for making food, the processing portion including a material barrel, an agitator, and a stirring motor, the agitator being disposed within the material barrel and connected to the stirring motor, the snow melter being provided with M beverage modes, denoted as {beverage mode 1, beverage mode 2, ... beverage mode M}, and pre-setting M speed modes for the stirring motor, denoted as {speed mode 1, speed mode 2, ... speed mode M}, such that the M beverage modes correspond one-to-one to the M speed modes, and each beverage mode has a corresponding speed mode, where M is a positive integer and M>1.

[0022] In one embodiment, the beverage modes include a slush mode, a cold drink mode, a cocktail mode, a milkshake mode, a soft ice cream mode, and a juice mode.

[0023] In one embodiment, each beverage mode corresponds to a beverage processing process and is configured with N processing states, denoted as {processing state 1, processing state 2, ..., processing state N}. Each processing state corresponds to a speed of the stirring motor, where N is a positive integer and N>1. Different speeds are configured for the stirring motor according to different processing states.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the various processing states of each beverage mode are configured to set the speed of the stirring motor corresponding to the real-time temperature value of the beverage raw material, and a temperature sensor can be provided to detect the real-time temperature value of the beverage raw material.

[0025] Specifically, in the snowmelt mode, as the temperature of the raw materials decreases, the speed of the stirring motor increases. During the production of snowmelt smoothies, for example, when the raw material temperature is ≥10°C, the stirring motor operates at 20% of the standard speed; when the raw material temperature is 0°C ≤ <10°C, the stirring motor operates at 50% of the standard speed; when the raw material temperature is -2°C ≤ <0°C, the stirring motor operates at the standard speed; and when the raw material temperature is <-2°C, the stirring motor operates at 120% of the standard speed. The stirring motor uses a lower speed in the early stages of refrigeration to reduce output power and consume less electricity; in the middle stages of refrigeration, the standard speed is used to meet normal stirring requirements; and in the latter stages of refrigeration, a higher speed than the standard speed is used to increase the discharge thrust, thereby improving the discharge capacity of snowmelt foods. In the cold drink mode, as the raw material temperature decreases, the speed of the stirring motor is reduced, which can reduce the impact speed when discharging liquid beverages and make the discharge more stable. In soft ice cream mode, as the number of discharges increases, the amount of ice cream material in the bucket becomes less and less. The speed of the stirring motor can be increased automatically or manually to bring the ice cream material closer to the discharge port of the bucket for easier discharge. Increasing the speed of the stirring motor can enhance the discharge capacity of the ice cream material.

[0026] In one embodiment, the snow melter is designed with different stirring motor speeds for different functions. As a feasible implementation, the snow melter of the present invention has a cleaning mode, and the stirring motor's cleaning speed is set corresponding to the cleaning mode. In cleaning mode, the stirring motor operates at a higher speed than the standard speed, and the cleaning speed is ≥ the highest speed in each beverage mode. For example, the stirring motor operates at 150% of the standard speed to improve cleaning efficiency and reduce cleaning time.

[0027] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, but they cannot be used as limitations of the invention. Any modifications and improvements based on the concept of the present invention should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. The specific scope of protection shall be subject to the claims.
