Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a transmission structure used for an ice cream machine. Background Art

[0002] Prior art, such as Chinese utility model patent application document, publication number CN117752007A, discloses a control method for an ice cream machine. In this technology, a first output shaft and a second output shaft are provided through the motor. The first output shaft is connected to the knife shaft by a belt transmission, and the second output shaft is connected to the screw nut by a planetary gear set.

[0003] Based on the above, the transmission connection between the existing planetary gear set and the screw nut is a rigid connection. This rigid connection structure is used in an ice cream machine driven by a single motor. The technical problem it has is that due to the use of a single motor, when working, the rotation of the cutter head to shave ice will inevitably drive the cutter head to move downward synchronously. When the cutter head's shaving depth of ice does not reach the preset descent height of the cutter head, the cutter head will be blocked by the ice and unable to move downward. At this time, the screw assembly cannot be raised or lowered normally, and the cutter head cannot continue to move downward, which will cause the drive motor to stall or even be damaged.

[0004] In the prior art, in order to prevent the motor from stalling, the motor current or the motor temperature is detected. When the current is too large or the motor temperature is too high, the motor is shut down for protection. This method of preventing stalling will cause the entire ice cream machine to stop working. Although this protection method can save the machine, it cannot complete the normal production process, seriously affecting the user experience.

[0005] At the same time, in the prior art, in an ice shaving process, the upper body moves from the first position to the second position. During this process, the upper body relies on the first microswitch and the second microswitch to determine whether the upper body has reached the first position or the second position, and then controls the motor to stop driving the lifting assembly. The technical problem with this control method is that when the first microswitch or the second microswitch fails and is damaged, the circuit board of the ice cream machine cannot receive the position information of the upper body. In this case, when the upper body reaches the first position or the second position, the motor will continue to drive the lifting assembly to operate. At this time, the lifting assembly will be running all the time, and the upper body has moved to the maximum stroke. At this time, the upper body is forcibly driven, which may cause the entire body to break, and there may even be a safety hazard of accidentally injuring the user when the body breaks. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the utility model provides an ice cream machine transmission structure driven by a single motor and using magnetic transmission to disconnect the lifting component from the speed change component.

[0007] A transmission structure for an ice cream machine designed for this purpose comprises a mounting platform, a motor and a speed change assembly are arranged on the mounting platform, the speed change assembly is provided with a power input end and a power output end, and the motor shaft of the motor is drivingly connected with the power input end and the cutter shaft;

[0008] The power output end is provided with a first magnetic transmission element, and the lifting assembly is provided with a second magnetic transmission element. The first magnetic transmission element and the second magnetic transmission element cooperate with each other through magnetic attraction so that the power output end drives the lifting assembly to operate.

[0009] Preferably, the speed change assembly comprises a planetary wheel carrier, a plurality of planetary gears are arranged along the circumference of the planetary wheel carrier, the planetary gears are rotatably arranged on the planetary wheel carrier, a first gear ring and a second gear ring are arranged on the outer side of the planetary wheel carrier, the planetary gears are respectively meshed with the first gear ring and the second gear ring, the first gear ring is fixedly arranged on the mounting platform, and the second gear ring is rotatably arranged on the mounting platform;

[0010] A plurality of planetary gears are combined to form a power input end;

[0011] A first driving gear is arranged on the motor shaft of the motor, and the first driving gear is arranged between the plurality of planetary gears and meshes with the planetary gears;

[0012] The second gear ring is a power output end.

[0013] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a first threaded transmission member and a second threaded transmission member, the first threaded transmission member is threadedly connected to the second threaded transmission member, the second threaded transmission member is fixedly arranged on the machine base, the first threaded transmission member is rotatably arranged on the mounting platform, and the second magnetic transmission element is arranged on the first threaded transmission member.

[0014] Preferably, the second gear ring is provided with a transmission ring extending downward, the first threaded transmission member is provided with a columnar transmission part inserted into the transmission ring, the second magnetic transmission element is provided on the columnar transmission part, and the first magnetic transmission element is provided on the transmission ring.

[0015] Preferably, a transmission assembly is provided on the mounting platform;

[0016] The transmission assembly includes a first gear, a second gear, a third gear, a fourth gear and a fifth gear which are sequentially connected in transmission connection. The first gear is connected in transmission connection with the motor shaft, and the fifth gear is connected in transmission connection with the knife shaft.

[0017] Preferably, a transmission element is provided on the mounting platform, the fifth gear is connected to the transmission element for transmission, a coupling transmission groove is provided on the transmission element, and the upper end of the knife shaft is coupled to the coupling transmission groove for transmission.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the utility model is provided with a first magnetic transmission element on the power output end, and a second magnetic transmission element on the lifting assembly. The first magnetic transmission element and the second magnetic transmission element cooperate with each other through magnetic attraction so that the power output end drives the lifting assembly to operate. During normal operation of the utility model, the motor can synchronously drive the speed change assembly to operate and drive the knife shaft to rotate. During this process, the speed change assembly cooperates with the first magnetic transmission element and the second magnetic transmission element to drive the lifting assembly to operate, so that the mobile platform can move downward relative to the machine base, and the knife shaft can rotate and move downward at the same time. When the depth of ice shaving by the blade head does not reach the preset descending height of the blade head, the blade head is blocked by the ice material, and the moving resistance of the mobile platform is greater than the suction force of the first magnetic transmission element and the second magnetic transmission element, the power output end will rotate relative to the lifting assembly, that is, slipping will occur. At this time, the lifting assembly is in a stationary state, but the motor still synchronously drives the knife shaft to rotate to shave ice. When the cutter head shaves out a space where the cutter head can move, the moving resistance of the mobile platform is less than the suction force of the first magnetic transmission element and the second magnetic transmission element, and the first magnetic transmission element and the second magnetic transmission element cooperate to transmit again, driving the lifting assembly to operate so that the mobile platform and the cutter shaft move downward to perform the mobile ice shaving work again. Compared with the existing anti-jamming protection, the utility model can not only prevent the motor from being blocked, but also disconnect the power output end from the lifting assembly when the cutter head is blocked and cannot move, and the cutter head driven by the motor will keep rotating and cutting to achieve continuous ice shaving, avoiding the problem of the machine being shut down for protection after being blocked and unable to complete the production.

[0019] In the utility model, when the sensor for sensing the position of the mobile platform fails under the transmission of the first magnetic transmission element and the second magnetic transmission element, when the mobile platform moves to the maximum stroke, the mobile platform is blocked and cannot move, and the resistance to the movement of the mobile platform is greater than the suction force of the first magnetic transmission element and the second magnetic transmission element, the power output end will rotate relative to the lifting component, that is, slipping will occur. At this time, the lifting component is in a stationary state, thereby protecting the entire transmission system and avoiding damage to the transmission system. At the same time, it can prevent the mobile platform from being driven all the time and forcibly moving to cause damage to the entire machine and affect the life safety of the user.

[0028] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] See also Figure 1-Figure 8 , a transmission structure for an ice cream machine, the ice cream machine includes a base 10, the base 10 is provided with a mounting platform 20 that can move longitudinally relative to the base 10, the mounting platform 20 is provided with a knife shaft 100 and a lifting assembly 40, the lifting assembly 40 is connected to the base 10 to drive the mounting platform 20 to move longitudinally relative to the base 10, the mounting platform 20 is provided with a motor 30 and a speed change assembly 50, the speed change assembly 50 is provided with a power input end 510 and a power output end 520, the motor shaft 310 of the motor 30 is drivingly connected with the power input end 510 and the knife shaft 100;

[0030] The power output end 520 is provided with a first magnetic transmission element 710 , and the lifting assembly 40 is provided with a second magnetic transmission element 720 . The first magnetic transmission element 710 and the second magnetic transmission element 720 cooperate with each other through magnetic attraction so that the power output end 520 drives the lifting assembly 40 to operate.

[0031] During normal operation of the utility model, the motor can synchronously drive the speed change component to operate and drive the knife shaft to rotate. During this process, the speed change component cooperates with the first magnetic transmission element and the second magnetic transmission element to drive the lifting component to operate, so that the installation platform can move downward relative to the machine base, and the knife shaft rotates and moves downward at the same time. When the ice shaving depth of the knife head does not reach the preset descending height of the knife head, when the knife head is blocked by ice, and the resistance of the movement of the installation platform is greater than the suction force of the first magnetic transmission element and the second magnetic transmission element, the power output end and the lifting component rotate relative to each other, so that the lifting component is in a stationary state. At this time, the motor is still running to drive the knife shaft to rotate for shaving ice. When the knife head shaves out space, the knife head is no longer constrained by the movement resistance. The first magnetic transmission element and the second magnetic transmission element cooperate again to transmit, driving the lifting component to operate so that the installation platform and the knife shaft move downward to shave ice again.

[0032] In the utility model, when the sensor for sensing the position of the installation platform fails and the installation platform moves to the maximum stroke, the installation platform is blocked and cannot move, and the resistance to the movement of the moving platform is greater than the suction force of the first magnetic transmission element and the second magnetic transmission element, the power output end and the lifting assembly rotate relative to each other, so that the lifting assembly is in a static state, thereby protecting the entire transmission system and avoiding damage to the transmission system. At the same time, it can prevent the moving platform from being driven all the time and forcibly moved, causing damage to the entire machine and affecting the life safety of the user.

[0033] During normal operation, the force of the power output end 520 driving the lifting assembly to rotate is F1, and the suction force of the first magnetic transmission element 710 and the second magnetic transmission element 720 is F2. During normal operation, F2>F1, so the power output end 520 drives the lifting assembly to operate, so that the installation platform moves up and down, and the knife shaft rotates to shave ice; when the limit switch used to sense the position of the installation platform fails or the bearing capacity of shaved ice is too large, F2<F1, the power output end 520 will move relative to the lifting assembly 40, that is, slip, at this time the lifting part will not move up and down, but the motor still drives the knife shaft to drive the knife head to shave ice.

The planetary gears 550 are meshed with the first ring gear 560, so that the planetary gears 550 and the planetary wheel carrier 540 rotate relative to the first ring gear 560. During the rotation process, the planetary gears 550 drive the second ring gear 570 to rotate synchronously, thereby outputting power through the second ring gear 570 to drive the lifting assembly 40 to operate.
