Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of food production, in particular to a multi-flavor ice cream machine. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve, the demand for diverse ice cream flavors is increasing. Traditional ice cream machines are often limited to producing a single flavor, or, while capable of producing multiple flavors, they suffer from numerous deficiencies in flavor switching and mixing ratio control. While some existing multi-flavor ice cream making equipment can produce different flavors, they suffer from flavor carryover during the production process. After one flavor of ice cream is made, the remaining ingredients inside the machine can easily mix into the next flavor, severely impacting the flavor purity of the next ice cream and creating a poor user experience. Furthermore, these devices lack flexibility in controlling the mixing ratio of ingredients for different flavors, making it difficult to blend two different flavors in any desired ratio, thus failing to meet consumers' personalized needs for unique flavor combinations. For example, patent publication number CN206603171U discloses an ice cream machine using a transparent material storage tank. However, this device suffers from the following deficiencies in the ice cream production field: it is difficult to produce multiple flavors of ice cream and can cause carryover when the next ice cream is made.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following is a combination of the appended examples of the present invention Figure 1 -Attached Figure 7 The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments 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 work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] The utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-flavor ice cream machine, comprising a frame 1, a refrigeration and pressurization mechanism 2 fixed inside the frame 1, and a storage mechanism 3 fixed at the upper end of the frame 1; the frame 1 serves as the supporting structure of the entire ice cream machine, providing a fixed installation position for the refrigeration and pressurization mechanism 2 and the storage mechanism 3, ensuring the relative position of each component is stable, so that the ice cream machine can operate normally. The entire device structure is compact, facilitating the coordinated operation of each component, and providing a guarantee for the overall stability of the device. The refrigeration and pressurization mechanism 2 is used to cool the ice cream while maintaining the internal pressure environment, using air pressure to pump out the ice cream while dividing the subsequent ice cream to prevent it from remaining at the outlet and affecting the production of the next flavor of ice cream. The storage mechanism 3 is used to store ice cream raw materials and control the speed at which the raw materials enter the refrigeration and pressurization mechanism 2.

[0024] The refrigeration booster mechanism 2 includes a refrigeration mechanism 201 fixed inside the rack 1, a refrigeration pipe 202 fixed to the side of the refrigeration mechanism 201, a first stirring box 203 fixed to the end of the refrigeration pipe 202, a second stirring box 204 fixed to the side of the first stirring box 203, a return pipe 205 fixed to the side of the second stirring box 204, a first air pump 206 fixed inside the rack 1, a bracket 209 fixed to the side of the rack 1, a second air pump 207 fixed on the bracket 209, an air inlet pipe 208 fixed to the upper end of the first air pump 206, and a fixed The refrigeration mechanism 201 generates a cooling effect, which is a key component in cooling the entire ice cream production process. This cooling effect allows the raw materials to solidify into ice cream. It provides a low-temperature environment for ice cream production, ensuring that the raw materials reach the appropriate solidification state, thus producing ice cream. The refrigeration pipe 202 transfers the cooling energy generated by the refrigeration mechanism 201 to the first mixing tank 203, cooling the raw materials within the first mixing tank 203. This pipe serves as a heat transfer channel between the refrigeration mechanism 201 and the first mixing tank 203, effectively transferring cooling energy to the first mixing tank 203 and ensuring that the raw materials are stirred and solidified at the appropriate temperature. The first mixing tank 203 serves as a mixing station for the raw materials, ensuring thorough mixing through the internal stirring rods 2033. Secondly, its insulation layer maintains a low temperature, allowing the raw materials to gradually solidify into ice cream during the mixing process. The second mixing tank 204, similar to the first mixing tank 203, also serves as a mixing and solidification station for the raw materials. It is connected to the first mixing tank 203 via a through pipe. Different solenoid valves control the flow of cold air and air pressure between the two mixing tanks, allowing for the production of ice cream with different flavors or textures. The return pipe 205 is used to return the refrigerated gas to the refrigeration mechanism 201 for further refrigeration. The first air pump 206 is used to pump high-pressure air into the second mixing tank 204, using the high-pressure air to pump the finished ice cream out of the second mixing tank. A second through pipe 217 is provided between the second mixing tank 204 and the first mixing tank 203 to balance the air pressure in the first and second mixing tanks 203, allowing the ice cream in both mixing tanks to be pumped out using a single air pump. The second air pump 207 is used to pump air into the top pipe 214, so that the rear end of the ice cream is cut by the high-pressure air as it flows out of the top pipe 214, preventing it from remaining inside the top pipe 214. The air inlet pipe 208 is the channel through which the first air pump 206 pumps air into the second mixing tank 204. The bracket 209 is used to secure the second air pump 207, providing a stable mounting position for the second air pump 207 and ensuring its stability during operation.The outlet pipe 210 is the outlet channel for the second air pump 207, transporting the gas generated by the air pump to the top pipe 214 for operations such as pressurization. This allows the gas to be transported along a predetermined route, providing a gas supply for operations such as pressure regulation within the equipment. The first solenoid valve 211 is used to control the volume and timing of air pumped into the top pipe 214 by the second air pump 207, thereby controlling the amount of ice cream pumped out. The discharge pipe 212 is used to discharge the prepared ice cream from the mixing tank and serves as the discharge channel for the finished ice cream. The second solenoid valve 213 and the third solenoid valve 215 are used to control the amount of two different types of ice cream pumped out, thereby controlling the flavor of the ice cream. The top pipe 214 is the final channel for the ice cream to flow out of the ice cream machine.

[0025] A first through-tube 216 and a second through-tube 217 are disposed between the first and second mixing boxes 203 and 204, with a fourth solenoid valve 218 located in the middle of the second through-tube 217. The first through-tube 216 connects to the outer layer of the mixing box, delivering cold air to ensure the cooling effect of the internal insulation layer 2032. The second through-tube 217 connects the insulation layer 2032 within the two mixing boxes, with a polytetrafluoroethylene membrane located in between to ensure air flow while maintaining pressure on both sides and preventing the passage of moisture and ice cream. The fourth solenoid valve 218 precisely controls the balance of air pressure at both ends, accurately cutting and opening the air connection between the two mixing boxes.

[0026] A support plate 2031 is provided at the bottom of the first mixing box 203, and an insulation layer 2032 is fixed inside; the support plate 2031 is used to fix the first mixing box 203 on the frame 1, and the insulation layer 2032 can ensure that the raw materials are fully cooled after flowing into the first mixing box 203. The second mixing box 204 is configured in the same manner as the first mixing box 203.

[0027] A stirring rod 2033 is provided inside the heat-insulating layer 2032 ; the stirring rod 2033 rotates to allow the ice cream to fully contact with the air, thereby creating cavities inside the ice cream and making the taste smoother.

[0028] The storage mechanism 3 comprises a housing 301, a raw material tank 302 fixed in the middle of the housing 301, a feed pipe 303 fixed to the lower end of the raw material tank 302, a fifth solenoid valve 304 fixed in the middle of the feed pipe 303, and a controller 305 fixed to the side of the housing 301. The housing 301 serves as the outer protective structure of the storage mechanism 3, protecting the raw material tank 302 from external damage and also providing thermal insulation and aesthetics. The raw material tank 302 is used to store raw materials for ice cream making and is connected to the mixing tank and other components via the feed pipe 303, providing raw material supply for ice cream production. The fifth solenoid valve 304, installed in the middle of the feed pipe 303, controls the flow of raw materials from the raw material tank 302 into the mixing tank, precisely controlling the supply of raw materials according to production requirements. The controller 305 controls the ratio of the two different flavors of ice cream.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] After placing the raw materials in the raw material box 302, the device is started, and the refrigeration mechanism 201 begins to pump cold air into the interlayer of the mixing box. The stirring rod 2033 begins to rotate. At this time, the fifth solenoid valve 304 opens, and the raw materials flow from the raw material box 302 into the mixing box. The rotation of the stirring rod 2033 freezes the air raw materials and mixes with the air, and the ice cream is completed inside. When the device receives a signal from the controller 305, the first air pump 206 pumps air into the mixing box. At this time, the second solenoid valve 213 and the third solenoid valve 215 are opened according to the ice cream ratio indicated by the controller 305. When the ice cream is pumped to the connection between the discharge pipe 212 and the top pipe 214, the second air pump 207 pumps air into the top pipe 214, cutting off the ice cream. At this time, the second solenoid valve 213 and the third solenoid valve 215 are closed. The ice cream is pushed out of the ice cream machine by the air pumped by the second air pump 207, ensuring that no ice cream residue is left.
