AI Technical Summary
The raw material cylinder and refrigeration cylinder of existing ice cream machines cannot be separated from the body, resulting in trouble in the cleaning process, easily causing the cleaning liquid to enter other parts, forming potential safety hazards for electricity use, and easily accumulate gaps in the body connection parts, resulting in moldy contamination and odor.
A cylinder connection structure of the ice cream machine is designed, including a positioning plate, a latch, a socket, a positioning knob and a limiting sleeve. These components enable the detachable connection between the cylinder and the fuselage, so that the cleaning parts of the ice cream machine can be easily disassembled and assembled.
This design improves the cleaning of the ice cream machine, avoids the hygiene and safety hazards caused by the cleaning water entering other parts of the fuselage, simplifies the structure, achieves more thorough cleaning, and extends the service life of the machine.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of ice cream machines and relates to a material cylinder clamping structure of an ice cream machine. Background Art
[0002] The parts of commercial ice cream machines that need to be cleaned frequently are mainly the raw material tank and the freezing tank. The raw materials in the raw material tank are pre-cooled and mixed under the control of the refrigeration system, and then transported to the freezing tank through the conveying device, where they are mixed with air and further cooled to form ice cream. The function of the stirring scraper frame is to ensure that the milk slurry is fully mixed with the air, and at the same time scrape off the small ice crystals formed on the inner wall of the freezing cylinder, so that the texture of the ice cream is uniform and delicate. The formed ice cream is squeezed out through the pouring outlet, completing the entire production process.
[0003] The raw material cylinder and freezing cylinder of existing commercial ice cream machines cannot be separated from the machine body, and the cleaning process is very troublesome. Not only is it easy for the cleaning liquid (contaminants) to enter other parts of the ice cream machine, posing a potential safety hazard in electrical use, but it is also easy for the cleaning liquid (contaminants) to accumulate in the gaps between the connectors of various parts of the machine body, causing mold pollution and odor, affecting the cleanliness of the machine body. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an ice cream machine cylinder clamping structure in view of the above problems existing in the prior art. The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is how to realize the disassembly and assembly of the cleaning parts of the ice cream machine.
[0005] The objectives of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: an ice cream machine cylinder clamping structure, characterized in that the ice cream machine includes a body and a cylinder detachably connected to the body, the cylinder clamping structure includes a positioning plate, the positioning plate has two pins, the body has two sockets respectively matched with the two pins, the pins are inserted into the sockets in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder, a positioning knob is rotatably connected to the positioning plate, a positioning rod parallel to the axis of the cylinder is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the cylinder, the positioning knob has a limiting sleeve with a notch on a circumferential surface, and the positioning plate realizes locking of the body and the cylinder when the notch on the limiting sleeve faces upward.
[0006] The raw material barrel for containing raw materials and the freezing cylinder for forming ice cream materials are integrated into one body to form an integrated cylinder unit, which is detachably connected to the machine body, so that the parts of the ice cream machine that need to be cleaned can be disassembled and assembled as a whole, which not only improves the ease of cleaning, but also avoids the health and safety hazards and electrical safety hazards caused by the cleaning water entering other parts of the machine body; the outer tube of the puffing rod is integrated with the raw material barrel, which simplifies the structure and can be removed together with the integrated cylinder unit for cleaning, and the clamping structure is simple and easy to operate.

[0011] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0012] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the ice cream machine includes a body 11 and a material cylinder 2 detachably connected to the body 11, the clamping structure of the material cylinder 2 includes a positioning plate 12, the positioning plate 12 has two latches 13, the body 11 has two sockets 14 respectively matched with the two latches 13, the latch 13 is inserted into the socket 14 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the material cylinder 2, a positioning knob 15 is rotatably connected to the positioning plate 12, a positioning rod 16 parallel to the axis of the material cylinder 2 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the material cylinder 2, the positioning knob 15 has a limiting sleeve 17 with a notch on the circumferential surface, and the positioning plate 12 realizes the locking of the body 11 and the material cylinder 2 when the notch on the limiting sleeve 17 faces upward.
[0013] The raw material barrel for containing raw materials and the freezing cylinder for forming ice cream materials are made into one body to form an integrated cylinder group, which is detachably connected to the machine body 11, so that the parts of the ice cream machine that need to be cleaned can be disassembled and assembled as a whole, which not only improves the ease of cleaning, but also avoids the health and safety hazards and electrical safety hazards caused by the cleaning water entering other parts of the machine body 11; the outer tube of the puffing rod is made into one body with the raw material barrel, which simplifies the structure and can be removed together with the integrated cylinder group for cleaning. The snap-on structure is simple and easy to operate.
[0014] Here, we mainly propose an integration of a material containing unit, and a split design of the integration unit and the body 11. In the prior art, the raw material barrel and the freezing cylinder are directly assembled on the body 11. When cleaning, most of them are done by running the equipment, pouring clean water into the raw material barrel, and simulating the running state to clean each material path. This method is not only cumbersome, but also difficult to clean thoroughly. Especially for commercial ice cream machines, when replacing raw materials, a long cleaning time is required, and it is difficult to achieve thorough cleaning, which affects the taste and mouthfeel of ice cream with different raw materials. In this solution, the integrated cylinder group is directly dismantled and replaced with a new integrated cylinder group, which can completely avoid the mixing of raw materials of ice cream of different flavors, greatly improving its commercial characteristics.
[0015] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in similar ways, but they will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
