[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Implementation Method 1

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 In the embodiment shown, the utility model provides a filling and defoaming component, which includes a filling component 100 and a defoaming component 200. The filling component 100 includes a feeding structure and at least one discharge nozzle 120 connected to the feeding structure, and the feeding structure is provided with a feeding channel connected to the discharge nozzle 120; the defoaming component 200 includes at least one defoaming part and a fixing structure for connecting the defoaming part and the feeding structure, the defoaming part is arranged below the corresponding discharge nozzle 120 through the fixing structure, and the defoaming part is provided with a through hole 212 for the discharge nozzle 120 to discharge the material.

[0034] Generally speaking, when the filling and defoaming assembly is in use, it connects the filling assembly 100 to the feed assembly 300 above. The feed assembly 300 can deliver liquid material to the feed channel, and then the ice cream mold 10 can be filled through the discharge nozzle 120 to produce the ice cream product. Furthermore, the filling and defoaming assembly can cooperate with a lifting mechanism, which can drive the defoaming assembly 200 up and down. During the filling operation, the filling and defoaming assembly as a whole descends, allowing the defoaming assembly 200 to contact the surface and edges of the liquid material. The defoaming assembly 200 can be used to defoam the liquid material in the ice cream mold 10, thereby reducing or eliminating bubbles on the surface or edges of the liquid material, which helps to improve product quality.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, a plurality of discharge nozzles 120 are provided, and the plurality of discharge nozzles 120 are arranged at intervals, and the defoaming parts are provided corresponding to the discharge nozzles 120 .

[0036] By providing a plurality of discharge nozzles 120 , the plurality of ice cream molds 10 can be simultaneously filled with materials using the plurality of discharge nozzles 120 , thereby significantly improving production efficiency.

[0037] The designer can adjust the number and arrangement of the discharge nozzles 120 according to the use requirements, and no specific limitation is imposed here. Preferably, the plurality of discharge nozzles 120 are arranged at equal intervals.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, the material delivery structure includes a horizontal material delivery pipe 110 and a material feed port connected to the material delivery pipe 110. Both ends of the material delivery pipe 110 are sealed, and the inner cavity of the material delivery pipe 110 forms a material supply channel. A plurality of discharge nozzles 120 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the material delivery pipe 110 and are detachably connected to the material delivery pipe 110.

[0039] By providing a feed port on the delivery tube 110, the feed port connects the feed assembly 300 and the feed channel, thereby transferring the liquid material in the feed assembly 300 to the delivery tube 110. Furthermore, the horizontal delivery tube 110 supports each discharge nozzle 120 and allows each discharge nozzle 120 to be positioned at the same height. This allows multiple discharge nozzles 120 to coordinate the filling operation, thereby enabling the simultaneous filling of multiple molds 10 and achieving improved filling efficiency. Designers can adjust the radial dimension and length of the delivery tube 110 according to actual needs and are not specifically limited here.

[0040] Furthermore, the discharge nozzle 120 is detachably connected to the feed pipe 110. This detachable connection facilitates replacement of different discharge nozzles 120 to accommodate different product types. Furthermore, if the discharge nozzle 120 becomes damaged, repair is facilitated. Alternatively, if the discharge nozzle 120 needs cleaning, it can be easily removed for disinfection and cleaning, reducing blind spots.

[0041] Designers can adjust the detachable connection method between the discharge nozzle 120 and the feed pipe 110 according to usage needs, for example, the discharge nozzle 120 can be detachably clamped on the feed pipe 110 or the discharge nozzle 120 is threadedly connected to the feed pipe 110, etc., and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0042] Of course, in other feasible embodiments, designers can adjust the specific structure of the material delivery structure according to usage needs, and no specific limitations are imposed herein. For example, the material delivery structure includes a support frame, the discharge nozzle 120 is connected to the support frame, and the support frame is further provided with a material delivery pipe 110, which is used to supply material to each discharge nozzle 120.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 3In the embodiment shown, the defoaming component includes a defoaming plate 211 and a defoaming structure arranged on the lower end surface of the defoaming plate 211. The defoaming plate 211 is arranged below the corresponding discharge nozzle 120 through a fixed structure. The defoaming plate 211 is provided with a through hole 212 for discharging material from the discharge nozzle 120, and the defoaming structure is arranged around the through hole 212.

[0044] Specifically, the defoaming plate 211 is connected to the feeding structure via a fixed structure, allowing the defoaming plate 211 and the corresponding discharge nozzle 120 to move together. As the material liquid is poured into the mold 10 using the discharge nozzle 120, the entire filling and defoaming assembly moves downward, and the defoaming structure on the defoaming plate 211 contacts the surface and edges of the material liquid in the mold 10, thereby eliminating bubbles on the surface and edges of the material liquid.

[0045] The designer can adjust the specific structure of the defoaming structure according to the use needs, and no specific limitation is made here. Preferably, the defoaming structure includes defoaming teeth 213 arranged on the defoaming plate 211. More preferably, the defoaming teeth 213 are arranged on the edge of the defoaming plate 211.

[0046] In the embodiments of the present invention, the defoaming plate 211 is circular, rectangular, or oval in shape. Generally speaking, the size of the defoaming plate 211 is approximately the same as, or smaller than, the opening of the mold 10. This ensures that the defoaming assembly can descend normally, allowing the defoaming structure to contact the surface of the liquid, thereby achieving a comprehensive defoaming effect on the surface and edges of the liquid. Furthermore, the defoaming plate 211 should be as thin as possible to ensure that it lies close to the edge of the liquid.

[0047] Of course, in other feasible embodiments, designers can adjust the shape of the defoaming plate 211 according to the shape of the mold 10, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the fixing structure includes at least one fixing member 220 , and the defoaming plate 211 is detachably connected to the feeding structure via the fixing member 220 .

[0049] By detachably connecting the defoaming plate 211 and the feed structure using a fixing member 220, it is easy to replace different defoaming plates 211 to achieve defoaming operations for different products. Furthermore, if the defoaming plate 211 is damaged, it is easy to repair the defoaming plate 211. Alternatively, if the defoaming plate 211 needs to be cleaned, it can be easily removed for disinfection and cleaning, thus reducing blind spots in cleaning.

[0050] Designers can adjust the specific structure of the fixing member 220 according to usage requirements. For example, the fixing member 220 can be a fixing rod or a fixing plate, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0051] Furthermore, in order to improve the connection firmness of the defoaming plate 211 and avoid the defoaming plate 211 from shaking and other problems, in an embodiment of the utility model, the fixing structure includes a plurality of fixing members 220, which are used to detachably connect the defoaming plate 211 and the feeding structure, thereby improving the installation stability of the defoaming plate 211.

[0052] Designers can adjust the number and arrangement of the fixing members 220 according to the needs of use, and no specific restrictions are imposed here. Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, two fixing members 220 are symmetrically provided, and the defoaming plate 211 is detachably connected to the feeding structure via the two fixing members 220 .

[0053] Among them, the length of the filling component 100 should not be too long. The discharge nozzle 120 of the filling component 100 is suspended above the defoaming plate 211. The discharge nozzle 120 does not contact the liquid, thereby avoiding dripping and microbial problems on the surface of the mold 10 and having a better use effect.

[0054] Furthermore, the outlet size of the discharge nozzle 120 is smaller than the size of the through hole 212 on the defoaming plate 211 , thereby ensuring that the slurry can be poured normally and preventing the slurry from overflowing outside the mold 10 .

[0055] In the embodiment of the present invention, a preset distance is provided between the outlet of the discharge nozzle 120 and the defoaming plate 211 along the height direction. The pouring speed of the filling assembly 100 should be matched to the downward speed of the filling and defoaming assembly. By controlling the preset distance and downward speed, the defoaming assembly 200 precisely contacts the surface of the liquid at the end of filling, ensuring that filling and defoaming occur simultaneously without affecting production efficiency. Designers can adjust the specific value of the preset distance based on usage needs, and no specific numerical limit is imposed here.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present invention, the filling component 100 is formed by stainless steel or hard plastic; and / or the defoaming component 200 is formed by stainless steel or hard plastic.

[0057] Preferably, the filling component 100 is formed of hard plastic, and the defoaming component 200 is formed of hard plastic, thereby reducing the weight of the equipment and facilitating the transportation and disassembly of the equipment.

[0058] Of course, in other feasible embodiments, designers can adjust the specific materials of the filling component 100 and the defoaming component 200 according to usage requirements, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0059] Implementation Method 2

[0060] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a filling system, which includes a filling and defoaming component as described in embodiment one, and a feeding component 300. The feeding component 300 is connected to the feeding channel of the filling and defoaming component, and the feeding component 300 is used to transport the material liquid into the feeding channel.

[0061] The specific structure, working principle and beneficial effects of the filling and defoaming component are the same as those described in the first embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present invention, the filling system further comprises a lifting mechanism, which is connected to the filling and defoaming component and is used to adjust the height position of the filling and defoaming component.

[0063] The height position of the filling and defoaming component can be adjusted by the lifting mechanism, so that when the filling and defoaming component is used for filling, the lifting mechanism can make the filling and defoaming component move downward as a whole, and then when the filling is completed, the defoaming component 200 can play a defoaming role.

[0064] Designers can adjust the specific structure of the lifting mechanism according to usage needs. For example, the lifting mechanism can be a hydraulic cylinder, an air cylinder, a screw mechanism, etc., and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present invention, the feed assembly 300 is formed of stainless steel or hard plastic. Preferably, the feed assembly 300 is formed of stainless steel.

[0066] In a feasible embodiment, the feed assembly 300 includes a feed pipeline, which is connected to the delivery pipe 110 to transport the feed liquid.

[0067] Furthermore, in order to improve the uniformity of the liquid feed, the feed pipe 110 is provided with a plurality of feed ports connected to the feed pipeline, thereby improving the feed uniformity.

[0068] Of course, in other embodiments, designers can adjust the material of the feeding assembly 300 according to usage requirements, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0069] The filling system of the present invention has the flexibility to be used and can replace the conventional filling trolley. Since it is provided with a detachable filling component 100 and a defoaming component 200, the use of the equipment can be adjusted according to actual production needs.

[0070] The present invention is different from conventional equipment that achieves the purpose of defoaming by vibration and striking. It has high space utilization and high production convenience. For products with complex structures that require multiple production stations, there is no need to add more defoaming stations, thereby saving production costs and reducing the complexity of equipment use. Because the components can be disassembled and combined, the equipment is versatile, reducing the purchase cost of redundant equipment and avoiding wear on the mold 10 and production equipment.

[0071] Moreover, the present invention only defoams by contacting the surface of the liquid material without any vibration or striking, which will not affect the precision of other production units and reduce the maintenance costs of other equipment. It allows the ice products to be frozen quickly on the production line, and simultaneous infusion and defoaming can solve the problem more quickly and efficiently without sacrificing production speed.

[0072] The utility model realizes filling and defoaming simultaneously in a simple and quick manner, thereby improving the qualified rate of product factory inspection, thereby optimizing the production cost increased by production losses, improving the sensory consumption experience of ice products, and achieving a lean production effect.
