[0014] 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.

[0015] Example 1

[0016] See also Figure 1-4 An ice cream freezing machine comprises a body 1, a freezing tank 2 located in the body 1, and a cover plate 3 hinged on the body 1, wherein the cover plate 3 is used to close or open the freezing tank 2, a detachably connected stirring shaft 4 is provided in the freezing tank 2, the body 1 can drive the stirring shaft 4 to rotate forward or reversely, a water spray unit 21 is also provided in the freezing tank 2, one end of the stirring shaft 4 passes through the water spray unit 21 and is detachably connected to the freezing tank 2, and the water spray unit 21 can spray water in multiple directions in the freezing tank 2.

[0017] In the actual operation process, the staff puts the liquid ice cream raw materials into the freezing tank 2, and seals it in the freezing tank 2 through the cover plate 3, and starts the machine body 1. Under the freezing effect of the freezing tank 2, the liquid ice cream raw materials are gradually converted into a solid state, and the machine body 1 drives the stirring shaft 4 to rotate to prevent the ice cream raw materials from condensing into blocks or agglomerates under the freezing effect of the freezing tank 2, and continue to freeze under the action of stirring until the set temperature is reached. After collecting the frozen ice cream, since the ice cream raw materials at this time have a higher viscosity, the ice cream raw materials remaining on the freezing tank 2 and the stirring shaft 4 are not easy to clean. At this time, the water spray unit 21 is used to spray the ice cream raw materials. Water is sprayed in multiple directions toward the freezing tank 2 to rinse the residual ice cream ingredients in the freezing tank 2 and the residual ice cream ingredients on the stirring shaft 4 by spraying water, and the stirring shaft 4 rotates under the drive of the machine body 1. When the amount of water sprayed by the water spray unit 21 is large enough, the stirring shaft 4 stirs the water to increase the contact area between the water and the freezing tank 2 and the stirring shaft 4, and then the cover 3 is opened to drain the water. In this way, the freezing tank 2 and the stirring shaft 4 can be cleaned from multiple directions, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency, avoiding disinfection or the residual ice cream ingredients from the previous time when using it next time, resulting in cross-flavor or uncleanness, and ensuring the hygienic use of the freezing machine.

[0018] Furthermore, the water spray unit 21 is provided with a plurality of water spray ports 211 , and the plurality of water spray ports 211 are all connected to an external water source, and the plurality of water spray ports 211 can spray water in multiple directions in the freezing tank 2 .

[0019] Through the above design, multiple water spraying units 21 can spray water in multiple directions of the freezing tank 2. In particular, the multiple water spraying directions also include spraying water in the direction of the stirring shaft 4, so that the freezing tank 2 and the stirring shaft 4 can be flushed in all directions, such as the bottom and inner wall of the freezing tank 2 where ice cream raw materials are likely to remain, which is beneficial to improving cleaning efficiency and cleaning quality.

[0020] Furthermore, the water spray unit 21 is a hemispherical structure, and a through hole is provided on the water spray unit 21. One end of the stirring shaft 4 passes through the through hole and is detachably connected to the freezing tank 2.

[0021] In this embodiment, the structure of the water spray unit 21 is a hemispherical design, which can facilitate the water spray port 211 to spray water from the external water source from the water spray unit 21 to multiple directions of the freezing tank 2, and during the cleaning process, when the stirring shaft 4 rotates, the water spray unit 21 will not rotate with the stirring shaft 4, so that the stirring shaft 4 can be fully rinsed by the water spray unit 21, thereby improving the cleaning quality.

[0022] Preferably, a plurality of stirring paddles 41 are disposed on the stirring shaft 4 . The stirring paddles 41 are arranged around the stirring shaft 4 , and one side of the stirring paddles 41 is in contact with the inner wall of the freezing tank 2 .

[0023] In the present embodiment, the number of the stirring paddles 41 is three, but is not limited to three, and can be three or more. In particular, the stirring paddles 41 are in contact with the freezing tank 2, which can prevent the ice cream raw materials from freezing on the inner wall of the freezing tank 2, resulting in excessive residual ice cream raw materials, that is, improving the raw material utilization rate. Specifically, the stirring paddles 41 can discharge the ice cream raw materials from the freezing tank 2 to the outside when they are reversed, and the stirring paddles 41 can move the ice cream raw materials into the freezing tank 2 when they are rotated forward.

[0024] More preferably, a scraper 42 is provided at the bottom of the stirring paddle 41 and on the side close to the freezing tank 2 , and when the stirring shaft 4 is installed in the freezing tank 2 , the scraper 42 contacts the bottom and inner wall of the freezing tank 2 .

[0025] Through the above design, the scraper 42 can contact the ice cream raw materials on the inner wall of the freezing tank 2 and scrape the ice cream raw materials to prevent the ice cream raw materials from freezing on the inner wall of the freezing tank 2. During the freezing process, the ice cream raw materials often remain on the inner wall of the freezing tank 2 and the bottom of the freezing tank 2, that is, they are more easily frozen on the inner wall and bottom of the freezing tank 2. Therefore, the design of the scraper 42 can further improve the raw material utilization rate.

[0026] More preferably, the scraper 42 is made of flexible material.

[0027] In the above design, the scraper 42 made of flexible material can prevent the scraper 42 from excessively rubbing against the inner wall of the freezing tank 2 and causing wear, thereby better protecting the freezing tank 2.

[0028] Furthermore, the machine body 1 is provided with a feed trough 11 and a discharge plate 12 , the cover plate 3 is provided with a discharge trough 31 , the feed trough 11 is located at the top of the machine body 1 , and the discharge plate 12 is located below the discharge trough 31 .

[0029] In this embodiment, the feed trough 11 can facilitate the staff to pour the ice cream raw materials into the freezing trough 2, while the discharge plate 12 provides a guiding function for the ice cream raw materials after freezing. In particular, the structure of the discharge plate 12 is a triangular prism, and the inclined surface of the discharge plate 12 can guide the ice cream raw materials to the bottom of the discharge plate 12 and collect them together.

[0030] Preferably, the cover plate 3 is also provided with a baffle plate 32 for opening or closing the discharge chute 31, and the baffle plate 32 can move upward or downward relative to the discharge chute 31. The baffle plate 32 is provided with a first handle 321, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the baffle plate 32 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the discharge chute 31.

[0031] In the above design, during the freezing process, the cover 3 is closed so that the ice cream ingredients in the freezing tank 2 can be cooled and solidified in a closed state, preventing the ice cream from overflowing from the freezing tank 2 under the action of stirring. The cover 3 can be opened before and after use to observe the specific situation in the freezing tank 2. On the other hand, the baffle plate 32 can control the discharge of the ice cream ingredients. When the ice cream ingredients are cooled and solidified, the baffle plate 32 is opened, and the ice cream ingredients are discharged from the discharge tank 31 under the action of the stirring paddle 41, and are guided and collected by the discharge plate 12; after cleaning, the dirty water can also be discharged from the freezing tank 2 by opening the baffle plate 32, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency. The first handle 321 can facilitate the staff to directly operate the baffle plate 32, thereby improving convenience.

[0032] More preferably, a locking unit 13 is provided on the machine body 1 . The locking unit 13 is located on one side of the machine body 1 . The locking unit 13 is used to lock the cover plate 3 on the machine body 1 .

[0033] The cover plate 3 can be locked on the machine body 1 by the locking unit 13, that is, whether in the freezing process or the cleaning process, the sealing state of the freezing tank 2 can be further strengthened, thereby further improving the raw material utilization rate and the cleaning efficiency.

[0034] Furthermore, the locking unit 13 includes a fixing block 131 fixed on the body 1, a locking rod 132 slidably connected to the fixing block 131, both ends of the locking rod 132 protrude from the fixing block 131, and a second handle 133 is provided on the locking rod.

[0035] In this embodiment, the staff can lock the cover plate 3 by moving the locking rod 132 toward the cover plate 3, or move the locking rod 132 from the cover plate 3 to the outside of the cover plate 3 to open the cover plate 3, and the second handle 133 facilitates the staff's operation and improves convenience.
