A freezing cylinder is provided in the cold drink machine. As the direct production container for cold finished products, its performance and structure are crucial. Traditional freezing cylinders mostly adopt a welded structure, that is, multiple components are welded together to form a complete freezing space. Inevitably, fine welding gaps will remain on the surface of the freezing cylinder made by this welding method. During the production process of cold finished products, these gaps become potential hiding places for cold drink raw materials. Since cold drink raw materials contain various components such as fat and sugar, they are extremely easy to condense and remain in these gaps, resulting in difficulties for subsequent workers to thoroughly clean the freezing cylinder during the cleaning process, thereby increasing the difficulty and cost of the cleaning work.

[0028] In an ice cream machine with a washable freezing cylinder according to this solution, in this embodiment, the ice cream machine is an ice cream maker or a smoothie maker. As Figure 1-2As shown, when making cold drinks, the operator first feeds the cold drink raw materials into the freezing cylinder 2 through the feeding component 3, and then starts the driver 6. In this embodiment, the driver 6 is a motor. The driver 6 drives the stirrer 7 to rotate. At the same time, under the action of the refrigeration component 8, the temperature in the freezing cylinder 2 is reduced to the required temperature for making cold finished products. The rotation of the stirrer 7 ensures that the cold drink raw materials in the freezing cylinder 2 are fully mixed and evenly cooled, and cold finished products are formed. Finally, the cold finished products are sent out of the freezing cylinder 2 through the discharging component 4. Further explanation, the setting of the driver mounting bracket 5 is beneficial to the installation and fixation of the driver 6.

[0029] Further explanation, the refrigeration component 8 is a structure of the prior art. The refrigeration component 8 is composed of a compressor 81, a condenser 82 and an evaporator 83. The evaporator 83 is installed on the surface of the freezing cylinder 2. The compressor 81, the condenser 82 and the evaporator 83 work together to reduce the temperature in the freezing cylinder 2 by circulating refrigerant in the three components.

[0030] In this solution, by arranging an integrally formed freezing cylinder 2 inside the casing 1 and with the cooperation of the driver 6, the stirrer 7 and the refrigeration component 8, the cold drink raw materials in the freezing cylinder 2 can be made into cold finished products. The freezing cylinder 2 in this solution can be integrally formed by stamping. Compared with the traditional freezing cylinder made by welding multiple components, the integrally formed freezing cylinder 2 can avoid the problem that welding gaps are left on the surface of the freezing cylinder due to welding, resulting in cold drink raw materials remaining in the welding gaps, which is convenient for subsequent staff to thoroughly clean the freezing cylinder, reducing the difficulty and cost of the cleaning work. When cleaning, only need to remove the discharging component 4 from the front end of the freezing cylinder 2 to clean the freezing cylinder 2.

The input end 311 of the conveying pipe 31 is communicated with the feeding port 11, and the output end 312 of the conveying pipe 31 is communicated with the first opening 21.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-4As shown, the setting of the first sealing ring 33 can ensure the sealing performance of the first opening 21, prevent the leakage of cold drink raw materials to the outside of the freezing cylinder 2 or the entry of external impurities into the inside of the freezing cylinder 2. At the same time, when the freezing cylinder 2 is being cleaned, it can also prevent the cleaning water from leaking out of the first opening 21 to the outside of the freezing cylinder 2. The setting of the first mounting bracket 32 plays a role in supporting and fixing the conveying pipe 31, so that the conveying pipe 31 is stably installed on the freezing cylinder 2. Further explanation, since the input end 311 of the conveying pipe 31 is communicated with the feeding port 11, and the output end 312 of the conveying pipe 31 is communicated with the first opening 21, the conveying pipe 31 can convey the cold drink raw materials from the feeding port 11 to the inside of the freezing cylinder 2.

[0033] Preferably, the feeding assembly 3 further includes a second sealing ring 34. A second opening 22 is further formed at the rear end of the freezing cylinder 2; the second sealing ring 34 is arranged at the second opening 22, the driver mounting bracket 5 is mounted on the first mounting bracket 32, and the driving end of the driver 6 penetrates through the second opening 22.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 2-3 shown, the setting of the second sealing ring 34 can ensure the sealing performance at the connection between the driving end of the driver 6 and the freezing cylinder 2, prevent the leakage of cold drink raw materials. At the same time, when the freezing cylinder 2 is being cleaned, it can also prevent the cleaning water from leaking out of the second opening 22 and affecting the driver 6. Further explanation, since the driver mounting bracket 5 is mounted on the first mounting bracket 32, the setting of the first mounting bracket 32 also plays a role in supporting the driver mounting bracket 5.

[0035] Preferably, the discharging assembly 4 includes a discharging tray 41, a second mounting bracket 42, an operation handle 43, a rotating shaft 44, a torsion spring 45, a linkage arm 46 and a stop block 47. A third opening 23 is formed at the front end of the freezing cylinder 2, a first discharging port 12 is formed at the front side of the machine shell 1, and a second discharging port 410 is formed in the discharging tray 41;

[0036] The third opening 23 is communicated with the first discharging port 12. The discharging tray 41 is arranged at the first discharging port 12. The second mounting bracket 42 is mounted on the discharging tray 41. The operation handle 43 is swingably mounted on the second mounting bracket 42 through the rotating shaft 44.

[0038] In this embodiment, Figure 2 , Figure 4-5 As shown, since the discharge tray 41 is arranged at the first discharge port 12, the arrangement of the discharge tray 41 can ensure the airtightness of the freezing cylinder 2. In the initial state, the stopper 47 completely blocks the second discharge port 410. When it is necessary to extrude the cold finished product, the operating handle 43 can be swung downward, thereby driving the linkage arm 46 to move upward, and at the same time, the torsion spring 45 can be given an upward elastic force, thereby driving the stopper 47 to move upward, so that the stopper 47 moves away from the second discharge port 410. At the same time, the driver 6 is started, and the driver 6 starts the stirrer 7 to stir the cold drink raw materials in the freezing cylinder 2. During the process of the stirrer 7 stirring the cold drink raw materials, the stirrer 7 can push the cold drink raw materials to move toward the second discharge port 410 of the discharge tray 41, so that the finally formed cold finished product can come out of the second discharge port 410.

[0039] Preferably, it further comprises a support frame 9, which is arranged inside the housing 1, and the lower part of the driver 6 is mounted on the support frame 9. Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 9 supports the driver 6 and further enables the driver 6 to be installed more stably.

[0040] Preferably, it further comprises a carrier plate 10, wherein the carrier plate 10 is mounted on the front outer side of the housing 1, and the carrier plate 10 is located below the discharge assembly 4. Figure 1 As shown, the arrangement of the carrying tray 10 not only facilitates the staff to place the container for receiving the cold-finished products, but also prevents the cold-finished products from dripping onto the ground.

[0041] The technical principle of the present invention is described above in combination with specific embodiments. These descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the present invention and cannot be interpreted as limiting the protection scope of the present invention in any way.
