Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice cream production technology, specifically to a segmented rotor structure for ice cream troughs. Background Technology
[0002] Ice cream evolved from frozen food. It is a frozen food with expanded volume made from drinking water, milk, milk powder, cream (or vegetable oil), sugar and other main ingredients, with the addition of appropriate food additives, through processes such as mixing, sterilization, homogenization, aging, freezing and hardening.
[0003] In the ice cream making process, the ingredients need to be stirred to ensure thorough mixing. However, while existing mixers can stir ice cream ingredients, the poor fluidity of the ingredients results in less than ideal stirring effects. Ice cream ingredients tend to stick to the surface of the blades after stirring, and the blades and rotor structure are difficult to disassemble, leading to insufficient cleaning of the ice cream ingredients and creating cleaning dead zones. Furthermore, since the blades are often fixed to the rotor structure, when the blades wear out or the shaft is damaged after long-term use, the entire rotor usually needs to be replaced, increasing the maintenance and replacement costs of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4As shown, a segmented rotor structure for an ice cream trough includes a trough bottom plate 1. The bottom plate 1 facilitates the support and installation of an isolation cover 2. The isolation cover 2, positioned above the bottom plate 1, accommodates an outer magnet 3 and a supporting fixed shaft 51. The isolation cover 2 contains the outer magnet 3, which allows the inner magnet 56 to rotate via magnetic force and field. A motor shaft 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer magnet 3, facilitating its rotation. A connecting assembly 5, positioned above the isolation cover 2, includes a fixed shaft 51 fixedly connected to the center of the upper part of the isolation cover 2. The bearing 52 is conveniently supported and installed. The bearing 52 is externally connected to the fixed shaft 51. By setting the bearing 52, it is convenient to connect the rotating sleeve 53 and reduce the rotational resistance of the rotating sleeve 53. The rotating sleeve 53 is fixedly connected to the outside of the bearing 52. By setting the rotating sleeve 53, it is convenient to fix the cross connector 54 and the drive plate 7. The top of the rotating sleeve 53 is fixedly connected to the cross connector 54. By setting the cross connector 54, it is convenient to position and connect the rotating sleeve 53 and the blade cover 55. The cross connector 54 is embedded inside the blade cover 55. By setting the blade cover 55, it is convenient to install the support positioning plate 10 and the inner magnet 56. The bottom of the blade cover 55 is fixedly connected to the inner magnet 56. By setting an inner magnet 56, the blade cover 55 can be easily rotated under the drive of the outer magnet 3. A mounting assembly 6 is set on top of the blade cover 55. The mounting assembly 6 includes a connecting plate 61 fixedly connected to the center of the blade cover 55. The connecting plate 61 facilitates the fixed connection of the blade cover 55 to the drive shaft 63 and allows for easy removal of the drive shaft 63 from the blade cover 55. Several fastening bolts 62 are connected inside the connecting plate 61. The fastening bolts 62 facilitate the fixed connection of the connecting plate 61 to the blade cover 55. A drive shaft 63 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the connecting plate 61. The drive shaft 63 facilitates the rotation of the bushing 64. An external sliding connection is provided with a bushing 64. By setting the bushing 64, it is easy to connect and fix the positioning plate 66. A key pin 65 is connected between the drive shaft 63 and the bushing 64. By setting the key pin 65, it is easy to connect, install and remove the drive shaft 63. Several positioning plates 66 are fixedly connected around the outside of the bushing 64. By setting the positioning plates 66, it is easy to connect and install the blade 68. Several fastening bolts 67 are connected inside the positioning plates 66. By setting the fastening bolts 67, it is easy to fix the blade 68 inside the positioning plates 66. The fastening bolts 67 pass through the blade 68. By setting the blade 68, it is easy to stir the ice cream ingredients.
[0024] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, drive plates 7 are symmetrically connected to both sides of the rotating sleeve 53. By setting drive plates 7, the contact area between the rotating sleeve 53 and the blade cover 55 can be increased, and the rotating sleeve 53 can be used to drive the blade cover 55 to rotate smoothly. Rubber anti-slip plates 8 are provided on both sides of the drive plate 7. By setting rubber anti-slip plates 8, the friction between the drive plate 7 and the blade cover 55 can be increased, and the stability of the drive plate 7 connected inside the blade cover 55 can be improved. The blade cover 55 has a groove inside to accommodate the rotating sleeve 53, the drive plate 7 and the cross connector 54. The rotating sleeve 53, the drive plate 7 and the cross connector 54 are slidably connected inside the blade cover 55. When the blade cover 55 is completely connected to the outside of the rotating sleeve 53, the inner magnet 56 covers the outside of the isolation cover 2.
[0025] refer to Figure 2 As shown, two bearings 52 are provided outside the fixed shaft 51, and the bearings 52 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the fixed shaft 51. By providing two bearings 52, it is easy to connect them to the upper and lower sides inside the rotating sleeve 53, thereby improving the stability of the rotating sleeve 53 on the fixed shaft 51.
[0026] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a fastening bolt 39 is connected to one side of the inside of the blade cover 55. By setting the fastening bolt 39, it is easy to fix the rotating sleeve 53 to the blade cover 55, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the rotating sleeve 53 and the blade cover 55. One end of the fastening bolt 39 is connected to the inside of the rotating sleeve 53. Several positioning plates 20 are fixedly connected to the outside of the blade cover 55. By setting the positioning plates 20, it is easy to connect and install the fastening bolt 411 and the blade 22. Several fastening bolts 411 are connected inside the positioning plates 20. By setting the fastening bolts 411, it is easy to fix the blade 22 inside the positioning plates 20. The fastening bolts 411 pass through the inside of the blade 22. By setting the blade 22, it is easy to stir at the bottom of the ice cream trough, so that the raw materials can be turned up from the bottom of the ice cream trough, thereby making the ice cream raw materials more uniform during stirring and improving the stirring effect of the ice cream raw materials. The blade 22 is inverted L-shaped and is inclined outside the blade cover 55.
[0027] Working principle: When the motor drives the motor shaft 4 to rotate, the motor shaft 4 drives the outer magnet 3 to rotate. When the outer magnet 3 rotates, the inner magnet 56 will follow the outer magnet 3 under the influence of its magnetic force and magnetic field. This will drive the blade cover 55, the transmission shaft 63, and the bushing 64 to rotate, which in turn will drive the first blade 68 and the second blade 12 to rotate and stir the ice cream ingredients. During the stirring process, the second blade 12 can turn the ingredients at the bottom of the ice cream container upwards, so that the ingredients can continuously flow and stir in the ice cream container, improving the stirring effect of the ice cream ingredients. When it is necessary to clean the first blade 68, the second blade 12, etc., the fastening bolt 3 9 can be removed from the rotating sleeve 53, and then the transmission shaft 63 and the first blade 68 can be pulled upwards to remove the blade cover 55 from the rotating sleeve 53. Blade 68 and blade 12 can be removed from the ice cream hopper, making it easier to clean them and reducing the difficulty of cleaning. When it is necessary to replace damaged blade 68, blade 12, drive shaft 63, or bushing 64, fastening bolt 67 can be removed from positioning plate 66 to remove blade 68, and fastening bolt 67 can be removed from positioning plate 10 to remove blade 12. When bushing 64 is tapped against drive shaft 63 with a tool, bushing 64 can slide on drive shaft 63, fully exposing and removing key pin 65. After removing key pin 65, bushing 64 can be removed from drive shaft 63, allowing damaged parts to be replaced individually, reducing equipment maintenance and replacement costs.
