[0013] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0014] Example 1

[0015] See also Figure 1-3 A device for producing ice cream comprises a stirring barrel 1, a stirring module 2 and an ice cream forming mechanism 5. A driving unit 3 for driving the stirring module 2 to rotate is provided on the top of the stirring barrel 1. The stirring module 2 is located in the stirring barrel 1. The ice cream forming mechanism 5 is connected to the stirring barrel 1 and is located below the stirring barrel 1. The device also comprises an ultrasonic transducer mechanism 4. The ultrasonic transducer mechanism 4 is detachably connected to the bottom of the stirring module 2. The ultrasonic transducer mechanism 4 is used to remove bubbles generated in the stirring barrel 1 during stirring. The ice cream forming mechanism 5 is used to extrude and shape the ice cream raw materials in the stirring barrel 1.

[0016] In actual use, ice cream raw materials, such as milk, sugar and other raw materials, are poured into the mixing barrel 1, and the raw materials in the mixing barrel 1 are mixed and stirred by the mixing module 2 to finally form the raw materials for ice cream production. During the mixing process, when the mixing rate is too fast or air is introduced, bubbles will be generated in the raw materials, and it is necessary to remove the bubbles. The ultrasonic transducer mechanism 4 converts electrical energy into ultrasonic waves to break the bubbles in the raw materials to achieve the purpose of removal. Specifically, the ultrasonic transducer mechanism 4 can be started during or after mixing to remove the bubbles in the raw materials, and then the raw materials are extruded and formed by the ice cream forming mechanism 5 to complete the production of ice cream. By removing the bubbles, the forming quality of the ice cream can be improved and the taste of the ice cream can be improved.

[0017] Furthermore, the mixing barrel 1 includes an inner mixing barrel 11 and an outer mixing barrel 12, a accommodating chamber for accommodating water is provided between the inner mixing barrel 11 and the outer mixing barrel 12, a water inlet 121 and a water outlet 122 are provided on the outer mixing barrel 12, the water inlet 121 and the water outlet 122 are arranged on both sides of the outer mixing barrel 12 and are located at the same height, the driving unit 3 is located at the top of the outer mixing barrel 12, and the mixing module 2 is located in the inner mixing barrel 11.

[0018] Through the above design, the external water source circulates from the water inlet 121 and the water outlet 122, and circulates in the containing chamber, which can maintain the working temperature of the ice cream when it is stirred. During stirring, the stirring inner barrel 11 generates heat due to stirring, and the heat will cause the temperature of the ice cream raw materials to rise. Therefore, through the water inlet 121 and the water outlet 122, the containing chamber can be filled with water, and the water is in a flowing state, which can absorb the heat generated by the stirring inner barrel 11 and take it away from the water outlet 122, and continuously introduce water of the required temperature through the water inlet 121, so as to ensure that the ice cream raw materials in the stirring inner barrel 11 are kept within the optimal temperature range of the ice cream raw materials during stirring. The flowing water method can better keep the working temperature within a certain range, thereby improving the ice cream raw materials. The quality of ice cream mixing, on the other hand, specifically, the heights of the water inlet 121 and the water outlet 122 are at the same height and are located at the top of the mixing outer barrel 12, which is conducive to making the liquid level higher than the liquid level of the ice cream raw materials in the mixing inner barrel 11, thereby improving the cooling effect. If the water inlet 121 is located at a low position, the water circulation on the side of the water inlet 121 is not in place. If the water outlet 122 is located at a low position, the water outlet 122 will discharge the water in advance, resulting in the liquid level not being able to cover the entire mixing inner barrel 11. Therefore, the heights of the water inlet 121 and the water outlet 122 located at the top of the mixing outer barrel are the best design. In particular, there is also a drainage hole at the bottom of the mixing outer barrel 12 for draining water from the accommodating cavity. It should be noted that the drainage hole is not used in the figure.

The discharge pipe 111 passes through the hollow part of the support seat 123 and matches the inner diameter of the hollow part. The discharge pipe 111 is connected to the ice cream forming mechanism 5.

[0020] In this embodiment, a support base 123 is provided between the stirring inner barrel 11 and the stirring outer barrel 12 to improve the stability of the stirring inner barrel 11. Specifically, a discharge pipe 111 of the stirring inner barrel 11 protrudes from the support base 123, so that the flowing water circulation can cool the stirring inner barrel 11 over a large area, and the raw materials of the stirring inner barrel 11 can be guided into the ice cream forming mechanism 5 through the discharge pipe 111, so as to facilitate the subsequent ice cream forming process.

[0022] In this embodiment, specifically, the stirring paddle 22 is located on the stirring shaft 21 and is designed as an upper and lower layer, which can improve the stirring efficiency. The bubbles generated by the improved stirring efficiency can be removed by the ultrasonic transducer mechanism 4, thereby improving the quality of the raw materials after stirring.

[0023] More preferably, a detachable cover plate 13 is provided on the stirring outer barrel 12 , and the driving unit 3 is connected to the cover plate 13 .
