Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, in particular to a silicone ice cream mold. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production and making process of ice cream, the mold plays a crucial role. The traditional ice cream mold, especially the silicone mold, has been widely welcomed and applied due to its good flexibility and durability.

[0003] However, in order to facilitate the removal of ice cream, a side of the mold shell is usually provided with a insertion hole for inserting an ice cream stick to fix the ice cream. However, when the ice cream stick is directly inserted into the insertion hole, it is easy to shift and move in the insertion hole due to the flowability of the raw material and the volume change during the freezing process when the raw material is directly injected into the mold, thereby affecting the forming effect of the ice cream. The design of the ice cream stick inserted into the insertion hole requires manual removal of the ice cream from the mold after the ice cream is frozen and formed in the mold. This process is not only inefficient, but also easily damages the shape of the ice cream.

[0004] Therefore, the present application provides an ice cream silicone mold to solve the above problems. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0005] The present application provides an ice cream silicone mold, which aims to solve the problems of the existing ice cream silicone mold, such as the direct insertion of the ice cream stick into the insertion hole, the easy shift and movement, and the low efficiency of manual demolding and the easy damage to the shape after forming.

[0007] The ice cream silicone mold further comprises a positioning assembly arranged on the base corresponding to the position of the insertion hole for fixing the ice cream stick.

[0008] The positioning assembly comprises a clamping block symmetrically arranged on the base corresponding to the position of the insertion hole, and a driving assembly arranged in the base for moving the two clamping blocks closer to or away from each other.

[0009] The base is provided with a knocking hammer corresponding to the bottom of the mold shell for contacting the bottom of the mold shell, and the base is provided with a transmission assembly connected with the driving assembly and the knocking hammer for transmitting power of the driving assembly to the knocking hammer; through the positioning assembly, not only can the ice cream stick be firmly fixed to prevent loosening of the ice cream stick during filling of ice cream raw materials or freezing molding, but also when the ice cream is molded and needs to be demolded, the two clamping blocks are moved away from each other by the driving assembly to release the ice cream stick, so that the ice cream stick can be easily removed from the cavity of the mold shell, improving the ice cream demolding efficiency, and the combination design of the knocking hammer and the transmission assembly can drive the knocking hammer to give a slight knock to the bottom of the mold shell when the two clamping blocks are moved away from each other by the driving assembly to release the ice cream stick, so that the ice cream can be more easily and completely separated from the mold, further improving the demolding quality and efficiency.

[0010] Preferably, in order to ensure the use of the driving assembly and the knocking hammer, the base is provided with a sliding groove and a movable cavity corresponding to the positions of the driving assembly and the knocking hammer, respectively; the sliding groove provides an accurate movement path for the driving assembly, ensuring that the clamping block can move smoothly and accurately, thereby realizing stable fixation and release of the ice cream stick, and the movable cavity provides sufficient space for the transmission assembly and the knocking hammer, so that they can work smoothly without interference.

[0011] Preferably, in order to realize the movement of the two clamping blocks, the driving assembly comprises a bidirectional screw rotatably connected in the sliding groove and a sliding frame symmetrically arranged in the sliding groove and screw-connected with the bidirectional screw, both the sliding frames are slidably connected in the sliding groove, and the top ends of the two sliding frames are fixedly connected with the bottom ends of the two clamping blocks, respectively; the screw connection design of the bidirectional screw and the sliding frame allows the movement of the two sliding frames to be controlled simultaneously by rotating the bidirectional screw, thereby realizing synchronous control of the clamping blocks.

[0012] Preferably, in order to improve the convenience of operation, a connecting shaft is fixedly connected between the bidirectional screws of two adjacent driving assemblies, and the connecting shaft is rotatably connected in the base, one of the connecting shafts near the outer side of the base penetrates the base, and the end of the connecting shaft away from the base is fixedly connected with a driving member; by operating the driving member and connecting the adjacent bidirectional screws through the connecting shaft, synchronous control of multiple driving assemblies can be realized, thereby simultaneously fixing or releasing multiple ice cream sticks, improving the convenience of operation.

[0013] Preferably, in order to realize the power transmission of the driving assembly, the transmission assembly comprises a connecting bevel gear rotatably arranged in the sliding groove and fixedly sleeved with the end part of the bidirectional screw rod, a transmission shaft sequentially penetrating the sliding groove, the base and the movable cavity and rotatably connected to the base, a transmission bevel gear fixedly sleeved with one end of the transmission shaft and meshed with the connecting bevel gear, a rotating wheel rotatably connected to the movable cavity and fixedly connected with one end of the transmission shaft away from the transmission bevel gear, an eccentric shaft fixedly connected with the rotating wheel, a connecting rod rotatably connected with the eccentric shaft and the knocking hammer away from the mold shell at two ends and arranged in the movable cavity, and a limiting plate fixedly arranged in the movable cavity, wherein the knocking hammer is slidably connected to the limiting plate; through the combined design of the connecting bevel gear, the transmission bevel gear, the transmission shaft, the rotating wheel, the eccentric shaft and the connecting rod, the rotary motion of the bidirectional screw rod can be ingeniously converted into the reciprocating knocking motion of the knocking hammer, so that the knocking function of the bottom of the mold shell is realized.

[0014] Preferably, in order to protect the mold shell, one end of the knocking hammer close to the mold shell is fixedly provided with a rubber pad; the arrangement of the rubber pad can reduce the direct impact of the knocking hammer on the bottom of the mold shell, so as to protect the mold shell from being damaged.

[0015] The ice cream silicone mold can not only realize firm fixation of the ice cream stick and prevent the ice cream stick from loosening during filling of ice cream raw materials or freezing molding, but also allow the ice cream stick to be easily taken out of the cavity of the mold shell by moving the two clamping blocks away from each other through the driving assembly to release the ice cream stick, thereby improving the ice cream demolding efficiency.

[0016] The ice cream silicone mold can further improve the demolding quality and efficiency by simultaneously driving the knocking hammer to give a slight knock to the bottom of the mold shell when the two clamping blocks are moved away from each other through the driving assembly to release the ice cream stick, so that the ice cream is more easily and completely taken out of the mold.

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] This embodiment provides an ice cream silicone mold, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the ice cream silicone mold includes a base 1, a mold shell 2 fixedly mounted on the base 1 and arranged in a linear array, a cavity 21 opened on the mold shell 2 for ice cream forming, and an insertion port 3 on one side of the mold shell 2 for inserting ice cream sticks; the ice cream silicone mold also includes a positioning component 4 on the base 1 corresponding to the insertion port 3 for fixing the ice cream sticks; the positioning component 4 includes clamping blocks 41 symmetrically arranged on the base 1 corresponding to the insertion port 3, and a driving component 42 disposed in the base 1 for moving the two clamping blocks 41 closer or further apart; the base 1 is provided with a striking hammer 6 for contacting the bottom of the mold shell 2 corresponding to the bottom of the mold shell 2, and the base 1 is provided with a transmission component 5 connected to the driving component 42 and the striking hammer 6 for transmitting power from the driving component 42 to the striking hammer 6.

[0031] In use, the ice cream stick is inserted into the insertion port 3 by the mechanical arm, and then the driving assembly 42 is started, at this time, the driving assembly 42 transmits power to the two clamping blocks 41 connected to each other, and moves the two clamping blocks 41 away from each other, so as to clamp the ice cream stick, prevent it from loosening during filling of ice cream raw materials or freezing, and complete the fixation of the ice cream stick. After the ice cream stick is fixed, the ice cream raw materials are filled into the cavity 21 to an appropriate height, and then the ice cream is completely frozen and formed. After the formation, the driving assembly 42 is started again when demolding is needed, at this time, the driving assembly 42 transmits power to the clamping blocks 41, and moves the two clamping blocks 41 away from each other to release the fixed ice cream stick. However, at the same time when the clamping blocks 41 release the ice cream stick, the transmission assembly 5 transmits power of the driving assembly 42 to the knocking hammer 6. After the knocking hammer 6 is powered, it lightly knocks the bottom of the mold shell 2, so that the ice cream is more easily and completely separated from the mold shell 2. Then the ice cream stick is pulled out by the mechanical arm, and the ice cream is taken out from the mold shell 2.

[0032] In order to ensure the use of the driving assembly 42 and the knocking hammer 6, the base 1 is provided with a sliding groove 11 and a movable cavity 12 corresponding to the positions of the driving assembly 42 and the knocking hammer 6, respectively. The sliding groove 11 provides an accurate movement path for the driving assembly 42, ensuring that the clamping blocks 41 can move stably and accurately, thereby realizing stable fixation and release of the ice cream stick. The movable cavity 12 provides sufficient space for the transmission assembly 5 and the knocking hammer 6, so that they can work smoothly without interference.

[0033] Specifically, the driving assembly 42 includes a bidirectional screw 421 rotatably connected in the sliding groove 11 and a sliding frame 422 symmetrically arranged in the sliding groove 11 and screw-connected with the bidirectional screw 421. The two sliding frames 422 are both slidably connected in the sliding groove 11, and the top ends of the two sliding frames 422 are fixedly connected with the bottom ends of the corresponding two clamping blocks 41, respectively.

[0034] In addition, in order to improve the convenience of operation, the bidirectional screws 421 on the adjacent two driving assemblies 42 are fixedly connected with a connecting shaft 7, and the connecting shaft 7 is rotatably connected in the base 1. One of the connecting shafts 7 near the outer side of the base 1 penetrates the base 1, and the end of the connecting shaft 7 away from the base 1 is fixedly connected with a driving member. By operating the driving member and connecting the adjacent bidirectional screws 421 through the connecting shaft 7, synchronous control of multiple driving assemblies 42 can be realized, so as to simultaneously fix or release multiple ice cream sticks, thereby improving the convenience of operation.

[0035] It should be noted that the driving member can be an electric motor or a manually rotating rotary drive.

[0036] When the ice cream stick needs to be fixed, the driving member such as a motor or a manual rotating device is operated to rotate, and the rotation of the driving member is transmitted to the adjacent bidirectional screw rods 421 through the connecting shaft 7, so that the bidirectional screw rods 421 are synchronously rotated. Due to the thread design of the bidirectional screw rods 421, when the bidirectional screw rods 421 rotate, the two sliding frames 422 connected with the bidirectional screw rods 421 move towards each other. Since the sliding frames 422 are connected with the clamping blocks 41, the sliding frames 422 can synchronously drive the clamping blocks 41 to move, until the clamping blocks 41 clamp the ice cream stick, so that the ice cream stick is fixed. When the ice cream is shaped and needs to be demolded, the driving member is operated to rotate reversely, and the reverse rotation of the driving member is also transmitted to the adjacent bidirectional screw rods 421 through the connecting shaft 7, so that the bidirectional screw rods 421 are synchronously reversely rotated. At this time, the rotation of the bidirectional screw rods 421 drives the sliding frames 422 to move away from each other, and then the movement of the sliding frames 422 drives the clamping blocks 41 to move synchronously, until the clamping blocks 41 release the ice cream stick.

[0037] Further, the transmission assembly 5 comprises a connecting bevel gear 51 rotatably arranged in the sliding groove 11 and fixedly sleeved with the end of the bidirectional screw rod 421, a transmission shaft 53 sequentially penetrating the sliding groove 11, the base 1 and the movable cavity 12 and rotatably connected to the base 1, a transmission bevel gear 52 fixedly sleeved with one end of the transmission shaft 53 and meshed with the connecting bevel gear 51, a rotating wheel 54 rotatably connected in the movable cavity 12 and fixedly connected with the end of the transmission shaft 53 away from the transmission bevel gear 52, an eccentric shaft 55 fixedly connected with the rotating wheel 54, a connecting rod 56 arranged in the movable cavity 12 and rotatably connected with the eccentric shaft 55 and the knocking hammer 6 at two ends and away from the mold shell 2, and a limiting plate 57 fixedly arranged in the movable cavity 12, and the knocking hammer 6 is slidably connected to the limiting plate 57.

[0038] When the bidirectional screw rod 421 of the driving assembly 42 rotates, the connecting bevel gear 51 synchronously rotates. At this time, the rotation of the connecting bevel gear 51 is transmitted to the transmission bevel gear 52 through the meshing relationship, and then drives the transmission shaft 53 to rotate. With the rotation of the transmission shaft 53, the rotating wheel 54 connected with the transmission shaft 53 is synchronously rotated. Since the eccentric shaft 55 is eccentrically arranged, the rotation of the rotating wheel 54 drives the eccentric shaft 55 to perform eccentric motion. Since the two ends of the connecting rod 56 are rotatably connected with the eccentric shaft 55 and the knocking hammer 6 respectively, when the eccentric shaft 55 performs eccentric motion, the knocking hammer 6 performs reciprocating linear motion on the limiting plate 57. When the knocking hammer 6 moves to the position close to the bottom of the mold shell 2, a slight knocking force is given to the mold shell 2, so that the ice cream is more easily and completely separated from the mold shell 2. Since the connecting shaft 7 connects the adjacent bidirectional screw rods 421, when one of the bidirectional screw rods 421 is operated to rotate, all the bidirectional screw rods 421 synchronously rotate, so that all the transmission assemblies 5 synchronously work, and the bottoms of the multiple mold shells 2 are synchronously knocked.

[0039] It can be understood that in order to protect the mold shell 2, the knocking hammer 6 is fixedly provided with a rubber pad 61 close to one end of the mold shell 2; the rubber pad 61 is arranged to reduce the direct impact of the knocking hammer 6 on the bottom of the mold shell 2, thereby protecting the mold shell 2 from being damaged.

[0040] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacements or changes to the technical solutions and concepts of the present application within the technical scope disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
