Each of the folding bodies has a plurality of curved sections connected in sequence, and the accommodating space is formed between the two folding bodies.
[0011] In one example, each of the folding bodies further includes a first extension segment, the curved segment is connected between the two first extension segments, the first extension segments on the two folding bodies in the support unit extend toward each other, and the first extension segments on the two folding bodies are alternately arranged along the axial direction.
[0012] In one example, the two folding bodies of the support unit are defined as a first folding body and a second folding body, and the first extending section on the first folding body extends to between adjacent first extending sections on the second folding body.
[0013] In one example, the top ends of all the folded bodies are connected to form a whole;

[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of a frozen beverage in one embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the latte art structure in the frozen drink shown; Figure 3 for Figure 2 A schematic diagram of another perspective of the latte art structure; Figure 4 for Figure 2 A top view of the lace structure shown; Figure 5 for Figure 4 Middle AA cross-sectional view; Figure 6 for Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the support body in the lace structure shown.
[0033] The present embodiment provides a frozen drink comprising a housing 4 and a garnish structure. The housing 4 is positioned below the garnish structure, and the garnish structure is at least partially positioned outside a cavity of the housing 4. The housing 4 has a cavity for filling a frozen drink body, which can be ice cream and can be made of the same material as the central column 1 and garnish body 2 described below, or a different material. The housing 4 can be made of an edible material, or it can be made of an inedible material. Figure 1 The shell 4 is shown to be a conical structure. Those skilled in the art should understand that the shape of the shell 4 is not limited to the conical shape mentioned above in this article, and can also be other shapes, such as a columnar shape, etc. The specific shape of the shell 4 depends on the specific product.
[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, the latte art structure includes a central column 1, at least one latte art body 2, and a support body 3. The central column 1, the latte art body 2, and the support body 3 are all edible ingredients. In one specific example, the central column 1 and the latte art body 2 are both milk-based ice cream, and the support body 3 is chocolate. The hardness of the support body 3 after curing is generally higher than that of the latte art body 2, so that the support body 3 can provide support for the latte art body 2.
[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the central material column 1 is located at the center of the lace structure, forming a stable, solid, and anti-drift structure. The central material column 1 is generally cylindrical, and can also be conical. The diameter of the central material column 1 is approximately 8 mm to 20 mm. For example, the diameter of the central material column 1 can be 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 14 mm, 16 mm, 18 mm, or 20 mm. The diameter of the central material column 1 is not limited to the above values and can be any value between 8 mm and 20 mm. The specific dimensions of the central material column 1 should be reasonably configured in combination with the dimensions of the lace body 2 to meet the support performance of both the central material column 1 and the lace body 2.
[0036] The garland 2 is located on the outer wall of the central pillar 1, extending axially along the central pillar 1, where the axial direction corresponds to the height of the central pillar 1. The garland 2 can have one or more garlands. The figure shows an example with eight garlands 2. However, the number of garlands 2 is not limited to eight as described herein and can be selected based on the product. The circumferential placement of the garland 2 around the central pillar 1 further enhances its structural stability.
[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the support body 3 is located on the outer wall of the central material column 1, the top end of the support body 3 is connected to the central material column 1, and the bottom end extends to a predetermined position. The bottom end of the support body 3 can extend to connect with the edge of the opening 30 of the shell 4, which can further increase the support strength of the support body 3. The support body 3 forms at least one accommodating space outside the central material column 1, and one lace body 2 is located inside one accommodating space. In other words, the support body 3 can form one or several accommodating spaces to accommodate the lace body 2, so that the lace body 2 can be supported on the support body 3. The shape of the support body 3 can be reasonably set according to the shape of the lace body 2. The figure shows a structure in which the support body 3 includes multiple accommodating spaces.
[0038] Wherein, both the pattern body and the support body are supported on the central material column.
[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, a central material column 1 is set in the middle of the draw pattern structure. The central material column 1 can improve the stability to a certain extent, and solve the problem of the center offset of the pattern during the production process, and solve the defect of the tilted head from the source. The draw pattern body 2 is set circumferentially around the central material column 1. The number of the draw pattern bodies 2 can be more than two. The draw pattern bodies 2 form a pillar form to enhance the stability of the pattern. In addition, by forming a support body 3 circumferentially around the central material column 1, the support body 3 is used to provide a space for accommodating the draw pattern body 2. The support body 3 further supports the draw pattern body 2, thereby improving the longitudinal support of the product and solving the problem of product collapse. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the draw pattern structure can build a stable draw pattern structure by reasonably arranging the central material column 1, the draw pattern body 2 and the support body 3, thereby improving the physical stability of the draw pattern structure and solving the technical barriers of high-end draw pattern products in the industry.
[0040] Especially when the support 3 is an edible material, the taste and flavor of the product can be enriched.
[0041] High latte art structure generally refers to frozen drinks with latte art height greater than 35mm. The latte art structure provided in this application is not limited to high latte art structure, and can also be applied to latte art structures of other heights.
[0042] In one specific example, the edible support 3 includes at least one set of support units 3A, each of which comprises two axially extending folded bodies. Each folded body has a plurality of sequentially connected curved segments 311. A storage space is formed between the two folded bodies, with each curved segment 311 forming at least a portion of the storage space. The curved segments 311 provide effective support for the latte art 2, enhancing its stability. The curved segments 311 form a curved storage space.
[0043] In a specific embodiment, each folding body further includes a first extension segment 312 , the curved segment 311 is connected between the two first extension segments 312 , and the first extension segments 312 on the two folding bodies in the support unit 3A extend toward each other and are alternately arranged along the axial direction.
[0044] The first extension section 312 can be a flat section, or of course, a curved section. The first extension section 312 is inserted into the interior of the space enclosed by the two curved sections 311 to increase the contact area with the lace body 2, which can further improve the support for the lace body 2 and prevent the lace body 2 from collapsing due to gravity, thereby improving product stability.
[0045] For simplicity in describing the technical solution, this application defines the two folding bodies in the support unit 3A as a first folding body 31 and a second folding body 32. Each of the first folding body 31 and the second folding body 32 includes a curved section 311 and a first extension section 312. The curved section 311 can be an arc-shaped section, and the structural parameters (such as the bending radius) of the curved section 311 can be customized according to the specific product. In this embodiment, the first extension sections 312 on the first folding body 31 extend between adjacent first extension sections on the second folding body 32. In other words, the first extension sections 312 are arranged in a cross-shaped pattern. This arrangement of the first extension sections 312 provides effective support for the lace body 2.
[0046] In a specific embodiment, the tops of all the folded bodies converge and connect to the top of the central pillar 1. In other words, the tops of all the folded bodies are connected to form an integrated structure, which to a certain extent improves the stability of the folded bodies forming the support body 3. Specifically, the tops of the folded bodies have a second extension section 313 connected to the curved section 311. The second extension sections 313 of each folded body converge at the top of the central pillar 1 and connect to form an integrated convergent body 314.
[0047] In a specific embodiment, the two folded bodies in the same supporting unit 3A form an opening 30 structure at the end away from the top of the central material column 1.
[0048] In one embodiment, outer walls of adjacent folded bodies in adjacent support units 3A have one or more connection locations; adjacent support units 3A can be connected to each other to improve the stability of the support body 3.
[0049] In each of the above embodiments, the number of support units 3A is greater than or equal to two, and each support unit 3A is evenly spaced along the circumference of the central pillar 1. Typically, a latte art structure is required to form a 4-8-petal latte art, meaning that the number of latte art bodies 2 is 4-8, the number of latte art folds is greater than 5, and the number of curved sections 311 is greater than 5. For example, if the support body 3 is made of chocolate, the chocolate bar should form a continuous, unbroken chocolate bar from top to bottom, with greater than 4 curved sections 311.
[0050] In a specific embodiment, the folded bodies of adjacent support units 3A are cross-connected to form a mesh structure. In the structure of the latte art 2, the folded bodies with a mesh structure can better solve the technical problem of ice cream cakes collapsing due to temperature fluctuations and gravity.
[0051] In a specific example, along the top-to-bottom direction, the folded body includes a first section L1 and a second section L2. The support unit 3A includes a radially arranged first side and a second side, wherein the first side is closer to the central material column 1 than the second side. The connection between adjacent support units 3A is located on the first side, and the second sections L2 of the two folded bodies in adjacent support units 3A are relatively separated on the second side. This creates a structure with a more attractive appearance.
[0052] Since the top diameter of the frozen drink is relatively small, the two adjacent folded bodies of the adjacent support units 3A can also be connected on the second side in the first section L1, which not only improves the support stability but also improves the appearance of the pattern.
