TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to ice cream machine technical field, concretely relates to a ice cream machine discharge port cleaning structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] Ice cream machine is a kind of equipment specially used to produce ice cream. According to its use and scale, ice cream machine can be divided into household ice cream machine, commercial ice cream machine and industrial ice cream machine. These devices convert raw materials, such as butter, egg yolk, milk, sugar, etc. into delicious ice cream through a series of mechanical and refrigeration operations.
[0003] The working principle of ice cream machine mainly includes the following steps: raw material preparation: first, the raw materials for making ice cream, such as butter, egg yolk, milk, sugar, etc. need to be prepared. For fruit ice cream machine, fresh fruits also need to be prepared. Mixing and stirring: put the raw materials into the stirring cylinder of the ice cream machine, and mix them evenly through the action of stirring motor and speed reducer. In this process, air is also introduced into the mixture, making it more fluffy. Refrigeration and solidification: the mixed raw materials are transported to the freezing cylinder, and the temperature is gradually lowered with the help of the refrigeration system, finally forming solid ice cream. This process usually takes a few minutes to ten minutes. Discharge and shaping: when the ice cream reaches the required viscosity and hardness, it can be extruded through the discharge port to form various shapes of ice cream. For multi-head ice cream machine, multiple flavors and colors of ice cream can also be made at the same time.
[0004] Taking commercial ice cream machine as an example, this kind of ice cream machine is mainly used in catering places, such as coffee shop, western restaurant, KTV, internet bar, etc. Without special person in charge, commercial ice cream machine can automatically make ice cream after paying the fee. During the use of ice cream machine, ice cream will adhere to the discharge port. If it is not used and cleaned for a certain period of time, the ice cream will harden and adhere firmly to the discharge port, affecting the discharge speed and shaping effect; the ice cream will also mix with dust in the air, which is not sanitary; because the main raw material of ice cream is milk, the ice cream will breed bacteria and cause corruption if it remains in the discharge port for a long time.

By using the forward and reverse rotation of the motor, the extension and retraction of the push rod can be completed.
[0037] The working principle of the pneumatic push rod is realized based on the change of air pressure. Specifically, when compressed air enters the cylinder, the air pressure acts on the piston to make the piston move linearly in the cylinder, thereby driving the push rod to extend or retract. When the air pressure disappears or is released, the piston will return to the initial position under the action of the spring or other restoring mechanism, so as to restore the push rod to the original state.
