[0039] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0040] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the present application provides an easy-to-clean ice cream machine 100, comprising a workbench 10 for forming an operating table 12, a stirring container 20 embedded in the workbench 10, and a stirring device 30 arranged in the stirring container 20, wherein the stirring device 30 includes a stirring paddle 32 for stirring the ice cream; and further includes an anti-overflow ring 40, which is used to prevent the ice cream from overflowing from the stirring container 20 onto the operating table 12 when being stirred; the anti-overflow ring 40 includes a sealing portion 42 and a blocking portion 41, wherein the sealing portion 42 is configured to be in sealing contact with the rim of the stirring container 20; the blocking portion 41 is configured to extend upward around the rim to protrude from the operating table 12 to prevent the ice cream from overflowing from the stirring container 20.
[0041] The stirring paddle 32 stirs the ice cream within the mixing container 20. While stirring, the anti-overflow ring 40 prevents the ice cream from spilling onto the work surface, preventing contamination and achieving an antibacterial effect. The anti-overflow ring 40 also increases the space within the mixing container 20, thereby increasing its capacity. When scooping ice cream from the mixing container 20, the anti-overflow ring 40 prevents the ice cream from sticking to the edges of the mixing container 20, also achieving an antibacterial effect. Furthermore, it prevents the scoop 101 from directly impacting the edges of the mixing container 20, thereby preventing scratches.
[0042] In this embodiment, if Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the structure of the workbench 10 is not strictly limited, as long as the workbench 10 can support the mixing container 20 and the refrigeration unit. For example, the workbench 10 can be a frame structure. The workbench 10 can have a flat surface with a mounting area for the mixing container 20, and the mounting area forms a window for the mixing container 20 to enter. The bottom of the workbench 10 is equipped with four casters 11, allowing the ice cream machine 100 to be flexibly moved.
[0043] In this embodiment, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the stirring container 20 has an open accommodating cavity 21; the stirring container 20 includes a bottom wall 22 and a side wall 23; the bottom wall 22 and the side wall 23 form the accommodating cavity 21; wherein, the bottom wall 22 is roughly plate-shaped; the side wall 23 is a cylindrical structure, and one end of the side wall 23 along its own axis is open to form an opening, and the other end is connected to the bottom wall 22.
[0044] In this embodiment, if Figures 2 to 6As shown, the anti-overflow ring 40 is generally annular in structure and is continuously arranged around the opening of the accommodating chamber 21; for example, the anti-overflow ring 40 is a circular ring structure. The anti-overflow ring 40 is made of silicone; for example, the silicone material is medical-grade silicone. The anti-overflow ring 40 is fixed to the workbench 10 via fasteners 43 to facilitate disassembly and assembly of the anti-overflow ring 40 and the workbench 10, thereby facilitating cleaning of the anti-overflow ring 40. The anti-overflow ring 40 has a fixing hole; the workbench 10 has a threaded hole corresponding to the fixing hole, and the fastener 43 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole through the fixing hole to secure the anti-overflow ring 40 to the workbench 10. The fastener 43 can be a screw.
[0045] In this embodiment, if Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the height of the blocking portion 41 protruding from the operating table 12 is not less than 1.5 cm. If the height of the blocking portion 41 is too low, the blocking portion 41 will be less effective in preventing the ice cream from overflowing from the mixing container 20. When there is a large amount of ice cream in the mixing container 20, the ice cream can easily flow over the blocking portion 41 under the stirring of the stirring paddle 32. Preferably, the height of the blocking portion 41 protruding from the operating table 12 is not less than 2 cm.
[0046] In this embodiment, if Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the capacity of the stirring container 20 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the blocking portion 41 protruding from the operating table 12; for example, the blocking portion 41 can increase the capacity of the stirring container 20 by at least 15%, 20% or 25%, effectively preventing the ice cream in the stirring container 20 from overflowing.
[0047] In this embodiment, if Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the blocking portion 41 is generally annular; for example, the blocking portion 41 is a circular ring structure that fits the opening of the mixing container 20. The outer diameter of the blocking portion 41 is larger than the inner diameter of the opening of the mixing container 20. The bottom of the blocking portion 41 is located above the operating table 12 and contacts the operating table 12 to locate the installation position of the anti-overflow ring 40.
[0048] In this embodiment, if Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the operating table 12 has a convex edge 121 surrounding the edge of the mouth; the blocking portion 41 has a groove 411 that cooperates with the convex edge 121; the setting of the convex edge 121 and the groove 411 can make the connection between the anti-overflow ring 40 and the operating table 12 more secure; when the convex edge 121 extends into the groove 411, it can also support the anti-overflow ring 40 to prevent the anti-overflow ring 40 from being radially deformed by external force.
[0049] In this embodiment, if Figures 2 to 6As shown, the sealing portion 42 is generally annular; for example, the blocking portion 41 is a circular ring structure that fits within the opening of the mixing container 20. The sealing portion 42 forms an interference fit with the sidewall 23 of the mixing container 20, ensuring a tight fit between the sealing portion 42 and the mixing container 20. This prevents ice cream from entering the gap between the sealing portion 42 and the mixing container 20, further preventing bacterial growth in the ice cream maker 100. The inner wall of the blocking portion 41 is flush with the inner wall of the sealing portion 42.
[0050] In this embodiment, if Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the anti-overflow ring 40 also includes a scoop holder 44 for accommodating the scoop 101. The scoop holder 44 has a slot 441 into which the scoop 101 fits. The scoop holder 44 is integrated with the antibacterial ring, enhancing the structural strength between the two rings and reducing the difficulty of manufacturing the two rings.
[0051] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, a stirring paddle 32 is disposed within the stirring container 20. The stirring device 30 also includes a drive shaft 31 for rotating the stirring paddle 32. The drive shaft 31 extends from the bottom wall 22 into the stirring container 20 and is connected to the stirring paddle 32. A motor 33 can be connected to the drive shaft 31 directly or through a speed reducer or other means to drive the stirring paddle 32 to rotate. The motor 33 is disposed below the stirring container 20.
[0052] In this embodiment, if Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the ice cream machine 100 further includes a transparent cover 50 that can be positioned over the opening of the mixing container 20; the user can view the ice cream in the mixing container 20 through the transparent cover 50. The transparent cover 50 can be made of glass or plastic and can be rotatably mounted on the workbench 10 via a pivot or other means.
[0053] The technical features of the above embodiments may be combined in any manner. To simplify the description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there are no conflicts in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification. When technical features in different embodiments are reflected in the same figure, it can be regarded as that figure also discloses the combination examples of the various embodiments involved.
[0054] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art could make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
