Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cold drink products, in particular to a preparation device and a preparation system for cold drink products. Background Art
[0002] Cold drinks, such as popsicles, popsicles, ice cream, ice cream, edible ice, etc., have become people's first choice for cooling down in the summer and are deeply loved by consumers.
[0003] With the development of tourism, cold drinks should not only be delicious and able to relieve heat and quench thirst, but also be a "magic tool" for checking in and sharing, so as to provide more "value-added" experiences. In the Internet age, tourists have higher requirements for personalized cultural and tourism products. Therefore, cultural and creative cold drinks such as ice cream and popsicles have emerged. Cultural and creative cold drinks are a kind of special products that combine cultural creativity and cold drinks. They carry rich cultural significance and enable people to experience the culture carried by scenic spots while tasting cold drinks. However, cultural and creative cold drinks often have high requirements for the appearance details of the products. The display of cultural and creative patterns requires high precision and lifelikeness. Therefore, such products need to pour the cold drink slurry into a silicone mold with richer details to achieve 2.5D three-dimensional modeling.
[0004] However, in the actual pouring process of cold drink slurry, bubbles will inevitably appear on the surface of the product. Especially for high-end cold drink products, due to the high protein content, when the cold drink slurry is injected into the silicone mold, it will produce a certain impact force, and bubbles will be generated with the impact. Bubbles will directly destroy the integrity of the cultural and creative pattern, thus affecting product quality and consumer experience.
[0005] Therefore, how to provide a solution to overcome or alleviate the above-mentioned defects is still a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the filling unit in the cold drink preparation device provided in the embodiment of the utility model. Figure 2 for Figure 1 Right view of Figure 3 This is a schematic structural diagram of a mold vibration unit in a cold drink product preparation device provided in an embodiment of the utility model.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a device for preparing a cold drink product, comprising a pouring unit 100 for pouring a cold drink slurry into a mold for preparing a cold drink product.
[0033] The filling unit 100 includes a filling cylinder 110 and a first lifting mechanism 120. The filling cylinder 110 includes a cylinder body 111 and a material injection component 112. The cylinder body 111 has a storage cavity, and the cold drink slurry is stored in the storage cavity. The material injection component 112 is installed on the cylinder body 111, and the material injection component 112 has a material injection channel, and the material injection channel is configured to be connected to or disconnected from the storage cavity; specifically, a switch valve can be provided at the connection point between the storage cavity and the material injection channel, and when the switch valve is in an open state, the storage cavity and the material injection channel can be connected, and when the switch valve is in a closed state, the storage cavity and the material injection channel can be isolated. The first lifting mechanism 120 is connected to the cylinder body 111, and is used to drive the cylinder body 111 to rise or fall.
[0034] By adopting the above scheme, the pouring unit 100 in the embodiment of the utility model is equipped with a first lifting mechanism 120, which can control the cylinder 111 and the injection component 112 to rise and fall. In this way, when pouring the cold drink slurry, the cylinder 111 and the injection component 112 can be controlled to descend first to ensure that the discharge port of the injection component 112 can penetrate into the inner cavity of the mold, and the distance between the discharge port and the inner wall of the mold can be effectively controlled; and as the liquid level of the cold drink slurry in the mold continues to rise, the first lifting mechanism 120 can also control the cylinder 111 and the injection component 112 to rise to control the distance between the discharge port and the liquid level. In other words, through the setting of the first lifting mechanism 120, the impact distance of the cold drink slurry discharged from the discharge port can be effectively controlled, and then the impact force can be reduced, and the bubbles generated by the pouring impact can be reduced, so that the generation of bubbles can be suppressed at the source, so as to improve the molding quality and consumer experience of cold drink products, especially for cultural and creative cold drink products with high requirements for detail fineness.
[0035] In actual applications, a controller and a distance sensor can also be configured. The distance sensor can detect the distance information between the discharge port and the inner wall of the mold and the liquid surface. The controller can be connected to the distance sensor and the first lifting mechanism 120 signal. The controller can control the start and stop of the first lifting mechanism 120 according to the above distance information, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering adjustment of the cylinder body 111 and the injection component 112.
[0036] After the pouring is completed, the first lifting mechanism 120 can also control the cylinder 111 and the injection component 112 to rise to move away from the mold, thereby better avoiding interference with the mold transportation.
[0037] Here, the embodiment of the utility model does not limit the specific structural form of the above-mentioned first lifting mechanism 120. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can select it according to specific needs, as long as it can meet the requirements of use.
[0038] In a specific example, the first lifting mechanism 120 may use a linear drive element such as a linear cylinder or a linear oil cylinder that can directly output a linear displacement. In this case, the number of parts of the first lifting mechanism 120 may be relatively small, and the structure may be relatively simple. In another specific example, the first lifting mechanism 120 may also use a rotary drive element such as a motor that can directly output a rotary displacement. In this case, the first lifting mechanism 120 may also include a displacement conversion structure in the form of a gear rack structure, a lead screw structure, etc., so as to convert the rotary displacement directly output by the rotary drive element into the required linear displacement.
[0039] In some optional implementations, the injection component 112 may include a plurality of feeding nozzles 112a, each of which may be arranged at intervals, and each of which may form a discharge port at one end away from the cylinder body 111. In this way, the injection cylinder 110 may have a plurality of discharge streams, each of which is relatively small and can disperse the impact force, thereby reducing bubbles generated during the injection of the cold drink slurry.
[0040] Each feeding nozzle 112a can be directly connected to the cylinder body 111. In this case, the injection component 112 can only include the above-mentioned feeding nozzle 112a, and the types of parts included in the injection component 112 can be relatively small, and the structure can be relatively simple. In this implementation, the injection channel can include the internal flow channel of each feeding nozzle 112a.
[0041] Or, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the injection component 112 may also include a transition connection portion 112b, each feeding nozzle 112a may be installed on the transition connection portion 112b, and each feeding nozzle 112a may be connected to the cylinder body 111 through the transition connection portion 112b; in this way, the number of connection ports required to be set on the cylinder body 111 may be only one, as long as it is ensured that this one connection port can be connected to the transition connection portion 112b, and the structure of the cylinder body 111 may be relatively simple. In this implementation, the injection channel may include the internal flow channel of the transition connection portion 112b and the internal flow channel of each feeding nozzle 112a.
[0042] It should be understood that the above description that the injection component 112 includes a plurality of feed nozzles 112a is only an exemplary description of an embodiment of the utility model, and it cannot be used as a limitation on the scope of implementation of the cold drink product preparation device provided by the utility model. In fact, the number of the above feed nozzles 112a can also be one, in which case the injection component 112 can include only this one feed nozzle 112a, and the feed nozzle 112a can be directly connected to the cylinder body 111.
[0043] In some optional implementations, the feed nozzle 112a may include multiple segments, each segment may be connected in sequence, and the extension directions of two directly connected segments may be set at an angle, and the specific value of the angle is not limited herein.
[0044] By adopting the above scheme, the internal flow channel of the above-mentioned feeding nozzle 112a can form at least one bend, and when the cold drink slurry flows in the feeding nozzle 112a, it can change direction at the bend of the feeding nozzle 112a, which can increase the flow resistance of the cold drink slurry in the feeding nozzle 112a, and then achieve buffering for the cold drink slurry to reduce the impact force and reduce the bubbles generated by the infusion impact.
[0045] Here, the embodiment of the utility model does not limit the specific number of segments. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can set them according to specific needs as long as they can meet the requirements of use.
[0046] In a specific example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the number of segments can be two. In the embodiment of the utility model, for the convenience of description, the two segments can be named as the first segment 112a-1 and the second segment 112a-2 respectively; wherein the first segment 112a-1 can be connected to the cylinder body 111, and the first segment 112a-1 can extend approximately in the up-down direction, that is, the first segment 112a-1 can be arranged approximately in the vertical direction, and the second segment 112a-2 can be connected to the first segment 112a-1, and the second segment 112a-2 can be located at the lower side of the first segment 112a-1.
[0047] Furthermore, the second segment 112a-2 can be tilted outward relative to the first segment 112a-1. In this way, when the cold drink slurry in each feeding nozzle 112a is discharged through the respective second segment 112a-2, it is not easy to converge and collide, which is also conducive to reducing the generation of bubbles.
[0048] Still Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the perfusion unit 100 may further include a base 130 , and the first lifting mechanism 120 may be installed on the base 130 so as to be positioned and installed through the base 130 .
[0049] In a specific application, the preparation device provided by the embodiment of the utility model can be installed in a production line of cold drink products. The production line can usually be equipped with a conveying device (not shown in the figure), which is used to realize the conveying of the mold for producing cold drink products. The conveying device can include a conveying component in the form of a chain and a frame. The conveying component can be installed on the frame. Correspondingly, the above-mentioned perfusion unit 100 can also be installed on the frame of the conveying device through the base 130. Of course, in some other implementations of the embodiment of the utility model, the base 130 can also be installed in other places, for example, the base 130 can also be directly installed on the ground or other installation platforms, as long as the installation and positioning of the perfusion unit 100 can be achieved.
[0050] In some optional implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the preparation device provided in the embodiment of the utility model may further include a mold vibration unit 200, and the mold vibration unit 200 is used to apply vibration force to the mold for producing the cold drink product.
[0051] Different from the aforementioned filling unit 100, which suppresses the generation of bubbles at the source, in the embodiment of the utility model, the mold vibration unit 200 acts on the vibration of the mold after the bubbles are generated. Specifically, it can be used to break and vibrate out the bubbles generated and retained in the cold drink slurry during the filling process of the cold drink slurry, which can help the air inside the cold drink slurry to be better discharged to the surface of the cold drink slurry. In this way, through the cooperation of the mold vibration unit 200 and the filling unit 100, the bubbles in the cold drink slurry in the inner cavity of the mold can be better eliminated, thereby better ensuring the quality of the cold drink product.
[0052] The mold vibration unit 200 may include a vibration applying component 210 and a second lifting mechanism 220. The vibration applying component 210 may be connected to the second lifting mechanism 220, and the second lifting mechanism 220 is used to drive the vibration applying component 210 to rise or fall. The specific structure of the second lifting mechanism 220 may be consistent with the first lifting mechanism 120, and a repeated description is not given here.
[0053] In a specific application, when it is necessary to apply vibration force to the mold, the second lifting mechanism 220 can drive the vibration applying component 210 to move so as to fit the mold, and then the vibration applying component 210 can be started to drive the mold to vibrate. When it is not necessary to apply vibration force to the mold, the second lifting mechanism 220 can drive the vibration applying component 210 to move so as to be relatively far away from the mold, so as to avoid the interference of the vibration applying component 210 with the operation of the mold.
[0054] Still Figure 3As shown, the vibration applying component 210 may include a vibrator 211 and a vibration support 212. The vibrator 211 is equivalent to a vibration source, and the vibration support 212 may be installed on the vibrator 211. The vibrator 211 may contact the mold through the vibration support 212, and may apply vibration force to the mold through the vibration support 212. Among them, the vibration support 212 may play a supporting and buffering role, which may reduce the damage of the vibration force to the mold.
[0055] In a specific example, the vibration support 212 can be made of a flexible material, such as nylon. The vibration support 212 made of a flexible material can better play a buffering role, is more conducive to protecting the mold, and has a strong structure and is not easily damaged.
[0056] The utility model also provides a cold drink product preparation system, including a preparation device and a conveying device. The conveying device is equipped with a conveying component, such as a chain, a conveyor belt, etc., which is used to convey the mold for producing the cold drink product; the preparation device can be the preparation device involved in the above-mentioned implementation methods, and the filling unit 100 of the preparation device is used to fill the cold drink slurry into the mold.
[0057] Since the aforementioned preparation device can better eliminate bubbles in the cold drink slurry infusion process and can better ensure the quality of the cold drink product, the cold drink product preparation system provided by the embodiment of the utility model can also better ensure the quality of the cold drink product.
[0058] It should be emphasized that, although the original intention of the design of the cold drink product preparation device and preparation system provided in the embodiment of the utility model is to address the problems existing in the preparation process of cultural and creative cold drink products with high requirements for detail precision, this does not mean that the preparation device and preparation system provided in the embodiment of the utility model can only be used for the preparation of cultural and creative cold drink products, and it can actually also be applied to the preparation of conventional cold drink products. In other words, the embodiment of the utility model does not actually limit the types of cold drink products that can be prepared by the preparation device and preparation system provided by it, and no matter what form of cold drink product is prepared, since the preparation device and preparation system provided in the embodiment of the utility model can reduce the generation of bubbles in the preparation process of cold drink products, the quality of the corresponding cold drink products can be guaranteed.
[0059] The above are only preferred implementations of the present invention. It should be pointed out that ordinary technicians in this technical field can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
