Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a planetary gear 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 existing planetary gear set is connected with the screw nut for transmission. The technical problem existing in the existing planetary gear set is that, affected by the existing planetary gear set structure, the volume of the planetary gear set is large. The large volume of the planetary gear set will increase the volume of the entire product and affect the product's factory transportation and user's use and storage. The existing planetary gear set structure is not suitable for this kind of small household appliance product and needs further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the utility model proposes a planetary gear transmission structure of an ice cream machine with a compact structure and a small volume.

[0006] A plurality of planetary gears are combined to form a power input element;

[0007] The second ring gear constitutes a power output element.

[0008] Preferably, a first magnetic transmission element is provided on the second gear ring, and the first magnetic transmission element is used for cooperating with the second magnetic transmission element to form power output.

When an external force drives the planetary gear to rotate, since the planetary gear meshes with the first gear ring and the first gear ring is fixedly disposed, the planetary gear together with the planetary wheel carrier rotates relative to the first gear ring. During the rotation process, the planetary gear drives the second gear ring to rotate synchronously, thereby outputting power through the second gear ring. The utility model adopts a first gear ring and a second gear ring disposed longitudinally at intervals, the first gear ring is fixedly disposed on the mounting platform to play a transmission cooperation role, and the second gear ring plays a role of power output, so that the overall volume is reduced, and the miniaturized setting can make the size of the product more compact, which is conducive to reducing the cost of the later product transportation from the factory and facilitating the storage and placement of the user.

[0020] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] See also Figure 1-Figure 8, a planetary gear 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 element 510 and a power output element 520, the motor shaft 310 of the motor 30 is drivingly connected with the power input element 510 and the knife shaft 100;

[0022] The power output element 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 are magnetically matched to make the power output element 520 rotate relative to the installation platform 20 to drive the lifting assembly 40 to operate.

[0023] 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 element 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.

[0024] In the utility model, under the cooperative transmission of the first magnetic transmission element and the second magnetic transmission element, when the sensor for sensing the position of the installation platform fails, when 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 element 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.

[0025] During normal operation, the force of the power output element 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 element 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.
