[0030] In order to make the personnel in the art better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without making creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1Embodiments of the present application provide a food processing device 100, which is used to assist a user to process food materials or produce instant food. As an example, the food processing device 100 can be a mincer, which is used to produce minced meat or minced vegetables. As another example, the food processing device 100 can be a bread maker, which is capable of mixing flour into dough and baking the dough into bread. In the present embodiment, the food processing device 100 is an ice cream maker, which is capable of cooling and mixing an ice cream base to form solid ice cream.

[0032] In the present embodiment, the food processing device 100 comprises a housing 10, a storage container 20 and a cutter module 30. The housing 10 constitutes the overall architecture of the food processing device 100. The storage container 20 is used to store an ice cream base, and is arranged inside the food processing device 100 to improve the heat preservation effect of the storage container 20. The cutter module 30 is arranged inside the storage container 20 to be capable of mixing the ice cream base. In the present embodiment, the storage container 20 and most of the other components of the food processing device 100 are arranged in the inner cavity of the housing 10 and are protected by the housing 10. In other embodiments, the storage container 20 and part of the other components can be arranged outside the housing 10, and the housing 10 can serve as a base or support frame for the storage container 20.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the present embodiment, the food processing device 100 further comprises a heating module 40 and a cooling module 50. The heating module 40 is used to transfer heat to the storage container 20. For example, some ice cream bases contain solid butter, gelatin sheets, milk, etc. The heating module 40 can promote the melting of the solid butter and gelatin sheets, so that the components in the ice cream base are melted and fully integrated, thereby improving the quality of the ice cream. The cooling module 50 is used to transfer cold to the storage container 20 to reduce the ice cream base heated by the heating module 40 to the point where the ice cream base coagulates. During the process of transferring cold by the cooling module 50, the cutter module 30 is driven and mixes the ice cream base that starts to coagulate, so that the cutter module 30 can mix the ice cream base that starts to coagulate to solidify into ice cream, so that the ice cream base coagulates uniformly and the finished ice cream has a fluffy texture.

[0034] In the embodiment, the heating treatment and the condensation treatment of the storage container 20 and the ice cream raw liquid are carried out in different zones. Specifically, the housing 10 in the embodiment is provided with a first processing zone 11 and a second processing zone 12 which are spaced apart from each other, the heating module 40 is arranged in the first processing zone 11, and at least part of the structure of the refrigeration module 50 is arranged in the second processing zone 12. The storage container 20 in the embodiment is movably arranged on the housing 10, and can be detachably installed in the first processing zone 11 to receive the heating treatment of the heating module 40, or can be detachably installed in the second processing zone 12 to receive the condensation treatment of the refrigeration module 50. In actual application scenarios, the storage container 20 is detachably installed in the first processing zone 11 and the second processing zone 12 in sequence to complete the heating treatment and the condensation treatment in sequence.

[0035] In summary, in the embodiment, the food processing device 100 includes the housing 10, the storage container 20, the cutter module 30, the heating module 40, and the refrigeration module 50. The interior of the housing 10 is divided into the first processing zone 11 and the second processing zone 12 which are spaced apart from each other, the heating module 40 is installed in the first processing zone 11, and at least part of the structure of the refrigeration module 50 is installed in the second processing zone 12. The storage container 20 is used for storing the ice cream raw liquid, and the cutter module 30 is arranged inside the storage container 20 and can be driven to stir the ice cream raw liquid. In the embodiment, the storage container 20 can be detachably installed in the first processing zone 11 and can also be moved to the second processing zone 12 and detachably installed in the second processing zone 12. In actual application scenarios, the storage container 20 is first installed in the first processing zone 11 to perform the heating treatment, so that the components of the ice cream raw liquid are quickly melted, which is beneficial to the sufficient mixing of the ice cream raw liquid, and then the storage container 20 is transferred to the second processing zone 12 to perform the condensation treatment. In the process of the condensation treatment, the cutter module 30 is driven to stir the ice cream raw liquid, so that the generated ice cream is relatively fluffy and has a better taste.

[0036] In the arrangement of the embodiment, the heating module 40 and the refrigeration module 50 are arranged in different zones. In the process of transferring the cold energy to the storage container 20 by the refrigeration module 50, the heating module 40 is separated from the storage container 20, the residual temperature on the heating module 40 has little effect on the storage container 20 and little effect on the condensation treatment of the refrigeration module 50, the cold energy transferred to the storage container 20 by the refrigeration module 50 is basically absorbed by the storage container 20 and the ice cream raw liquid, and there is no need to provide additional cold energy to neutralize the residual temperature of the heating module 40. Therefore, the utilization rate of the cold energy is relatively high, the condensation speed of the ice cream raw liquid is relatively fast, the working efficiency of the food processing device 100 is relatively high, and the energy loss is relatively small.

[0037] In the embodiment, the food processing device 100 can include one storage container 20, which is detachably installed in the first processing area 11 and the second processing area 12 according to the production steps of ice cream. In other embodiments, the food processing device 100 can include multiple storage containers 20, each of which is detachably installed in the first processing area 11 and the second processing area 12. In actual application scenarios, after the first storage container 20 completes the heating treatment in the first processing area 11, the first storage container 20 is transferred to the second processing area 12 for condensation treatment, while the second storage container 20 is detachably installed in the first processing area 11 for heating treatment, so as to form a pipeline type ice cream production chain and improve the working efficiency of the food processing device 100. After the last storage container 20 completes the heating treatment in the first processing area 11, the last storage container 20 is transferred to the second processing area 12, and the residual heat on the heating module 40 is allowed to dissipate to naturally cool the refrigeration module 50. In the embodiment of multiple storage containers 20, the residual heat on the heating module 40 accounts for a negligible proportion in the total energy consumed in the production of multiple portions of ice cream, greatly improving the energy utilization rate of the food processing device 100.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the embodiment, the food processing device 100 further includes a first heat exchange cylinder 60, which is installed in the first processing area 11. The first heat exchange cylinder 60 is provided with a first inner cavity 63 for installing the storage container 20. The storage container 20 is detachably installed in the first inner cavity 63, and the storage container 20 is detachably connected with the first heat exchange cylinder 60. In the embodiment, when the storage container 20 is installed in the first heat exchange cylinder 60, the outer wall of the storage container 20 at least partially abuts the inner wall of the first heat exchange cylinder 60. The heating module 40 is arranged on the outer surface of the first heat exchange cylinder 60, and the heating module 40 transmits heat to the storage container 20 through the first heat exchange cylinder 60, so that the storage container 20 is uniformly heated, the ice cream raw liquid is uniformly heated, and local high temperature of the storage container 20 does not cause the ice cream raw liquid to be scorched. In the embodiment, the first heat exchange cylinder 60 can be made of high-temperature-resistant materials with good thermal conductivity, such as steel alloy, copper alloy, etc. The storage container 20 can be made of food-grade materials with good thermal conductivity, high-temperature resistance and stable structure, such as food-grade stainless steel, copper alloy, tempered glass, etc.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5In the embodiment, the first heat exchange cylinder 60 is provided with a first opening 61 and a first bottom wall 62. The first opening 61 communicates with a first inner cavity 63. The first bottom wall 62 is arranged opposite to the first opening 61, i.e. the first opening 61 and the first bottom wall 62 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the first inner cavity 63. In the embodiment, the inner surface of the first bottom wall 62 can be in abutting fit with the outer surface of the bottom of the storage container 20. The heating module 40 is arranged on the outer surface of the first bottom wall 62. In the state that the storage container 20 is installed in the first heat exchange cylinder 60, the storage container 20 can be uniformly heated. In the arrangement of the embodiment, the heating module 40 transmits heat to the storage container 20 from the bottom of the storage container 20, i.e. the heating module 40 heats the storage container 20 from the bottom of the storage container 20, so as to uniformly heat the ice cream raw liquid. In the embodiment, the heating module 40 can include a heating disc or a heating pipe.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the embodiment, the food processing device 100 further includes a second heat exchange cylinder 70. The second heat exchange cylinder 70 is installed in the second processing area 12. The second heat exchange cylinder 70 is arranged spaced apart from the first heat exchange cylinder 60. The second heat exchange cylinder 70 is provided with a second inner cavity 73. The second inner cavity 73 is used for installing the storage container 20. The storage container 20 is detachably installed in the second inner cavity 73. The storage container 20 is detachably connected with the second heat exchange cylinder 70. In the embodiment, in the state that the storage container 20 is installed in the second heat exchange cylinder 70, the outer wall of the storage container 20 at least partially abuts with the inner wall of the second heat exchange cylinder 70. The at least part of the structure of the refrigeration module 50 located in the second processing area 12 is arranged on the outer surface of the first heat exchange cylinder 60. The refrigeration module 50 transmits cold to the storage container 20 through the second heat exchange cylinder 70, so as to uniformly cool each part of the storage container 20, uniformly reduce the temperature of each part of the ice cream raw liquid, and avoid that the ice formed by the ice cream raw liquid is closely adhered to the inner wall of the storage container 20 due to the local low temperature of the storage container 20.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6In the present embodiment, the second heat exchange cylinder 70 comprises a cylinder body 74 and a second bottom wall 72. The cylinder body 74 is a complete ring structure in the circumferential direction thereof, and a second inner cavity 73 is defined by the cylinder body 74. The cylinder body 74 has two ports in the axial direction thereof, one of which is in sealed connection with the second bottom wall 72, and the other of which defines a second opening 71 of the second heat exchange cylinder 70. In the present embodiment, the storage container 20 is detachably installed into the first inner cavity 63 via the first opening 61, and the storage container 20 is detachably installed into the second inner cavity 73 via the second opening 71. In the present embodiment, the food processing device 100 is arranged on a horizontal application plane, and the first opening 61 and the second opening 71 are both oriented away from the horizontal application plane. The shell 10 is hollowed out to expose the first opening 61 and the second opening 71, so as to facilitate the taking and placing of the storage container 20.

[0042] The refrigeration module 50 in the present embodiment comprises an evaporating pipe 51 and a compressor 52 and a condenser (not shown in the figure). The compressor 52 is installed inside the shell 10, and the condenser is arranged inside the shell. The condenser has a flow channel inside.

The two ends of the evaporating pipe 51 are respectively in communication with the compressor 52 and one end of the flow channel of the condenser. The other end of the flow channel of the condenser is in communication with the compressor 52, thereby forming a circulating flow path. A refrigerant flows in the flow path. When the refrigerant flows through the evaporating pipe 51, it is in a low-temperature state. The refrigerant absorbs heat in the storage container 20 to cool the storage container 20. The refrigerant becomes in a high-temperature state, then flows through the condenser and exchanges heat with external air to dissipate heat in the refrigerant and become in a low-temperature state, and then flows to the compressor 52 and is pumped into the evaporating pipe 51 for the next round of cooling. In the present embodiment, the storage container 20 is detachably installed in the second heat exchange cylinder 70. The inner wall of the cylinder body 74 at least partially abuts and fits the outer circumferential wall of the storage container 20. The inner surface of the second bottom wall 72 at least partially abuts and fits the outer surface of the bottom of the storage container 20. The evaporating pipe 51 is distributed on the outer surface of the cylinder body 74 and the outer surface of the second bottom wall 72, thereby increasing the contact area of the evaporating pipe 51 and the second heat exchange cylinder 70 and improving the refrigeration efficiency. In other embodiments, the refrigeration module 50 can comprise a semiconductor refrigeration sheet or the like structure, which can be installed on the outer surface of the second heat exchange cylinder 70.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 7 In the present embodiment, the cutter module 30 is rotatably installed in the storage container 20, and one end of the cutter module 30 in the rotational axis direction thereof extends out of the storage container 20. In the present embodiment, the food processing device 100 further comprises a driving mechanism 80, which is installed inside the shell 10 and is detachably in driving connection with the end of the cutter module 30 extending out of the storage container 20, so as to drive the cutter module 30 to rotate and stir the ice cream raw liquid.

[0044] The number of the driving mechanism 80 is not limited in the embodiment, and can be set according to actual conditions. As an example, the number of the driving mechanism 80 is one, the driving mechanism 80 is movably arranged inside the housing 10, in the state that the storage container 20 is installed in the first processing area 11, the driving mechanism 80 can be moved to the first processing area 11 and detachably connected with the tool module 30, and in the state that the storage container 20 is transferred to the second processing area 12, the driving mechanism 80 can be moved to the second processing area 12 and detachably connected with the tool module 30. As another example, the driving mechanism 80 is arranged inside the housing 10, and the food processing device 100 further comprises two transmission mechanisms, which are respectively arranged in the first processing area 11 and the second processing area 12, and are respectively connected with the driving mechanism 80. In the state that the storage container 20 is installed in the first processing area 11, the tool module 30 is extended from one end of the storage container 20 and detachably connected with the transmission mechanism in the first processing area 11, and in the state that the storage container 20 is installed in the second processing area 12, the tool module 30 is extended from one end of the storage container 20 and detachably connected with the transmission mechanism in the second processing area 12. In this example, the transmission mechanism can be a conveyor belt, a conveyor chain, a gear set, etc.

[0045] In the embodiment, the number of the driving mechanism 80 is two.

In the state that the storage container 20 is installed in the first processing area 11, the end of the tool module 30 extending out of the storage container 20 is detachably connected with the first driving mechanism 81. In the state that the storage container 20 is installed in the second processing area 12, the end of the tool module 30 extending out of the storage container 20 is detachably connected with the second driving mechanism 82.

In the state that the storage container 20 is condensed in the second processing area 12, the rotating speed of the tool module 30 under the driving of the second driving mechanism 82 is smaller than that under the driving of the first driving mechanism 81, so as to stir the gradually solidified ice cream raw liquid, and avoid the deformation of the tool module 30 caused by the too fast rotating speed of the tool module 30. In the two examples of the foregoing driving mechanism 80, the output power of the driving mechanism 80 in the state that the storage container 20 is installed in the first processing area 11 is greater than that in the state that the storage container 20 is installed in the second processing area 12, so that the rotating speed of the tool module 30 in the first processing area 11 is greater than that in the second processing area 12. In the setting of the embodiment, the first driving mechanism 81 and the second driving mechanism 82 can be fixedly connected to the shell 10, the spatial state of the two driving mechanisms 80 is relatively stable, and the first driving mechanism 81 and the second driving mechanism 82 can keep the output power unchanged, thereby reducing the step of switching the output power.
