Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of electrical appliances, and in particular relates to a front baffle structure, a side baffle structure, and a frozen food manufacturing device for a material filling hopper. Background Technology
[0002] In frozen food manufacturing equipment, beverage solutions are typically cooled and stirred within a mixing chamber in the outer shell to form frozen foods, such as slush machines, ice cream machines, or smoothie machines. These machines are specifically designed for making slushie soft-serve ice cream and smoothies. They utilize a compressor to rapidly cool the liquid in the material storage chamber of the filling tank to below 0°C, and a spiral pusher blade within the storage chamber further stirs and solidifies the liquid into a smoothie. A discharge port is located at the front of the filling tank. While stirring the material, the spiral pusher blades push it towards the discharge port. Some material is directly pushed out of the storage port, while some is blocked by the front wall. Generally, the spiral pusher blades continuously stir the material, meaning that regardless of whether the discharge port is open or closed, the material inside is constantly stirred and pushed. Material blocked by the front wall will then expand and rise outwards along the front wall.
[0003] Existing filling tanks such as Figure 1 As shown, the connection between its front sidewall [h1] and the barrel's peripheral wall forms an angled recess 83, which is equivalent to a concave corner. Some materials will fall back into the storage chamber during the process of climbing up the front sidewall, but some will climb up to this angled recess 83, causing pushing and accumulating. As the material accumulates, it becomes more and more compacted, causing some material to accumulate and stick to the top that the spiral pusher blades cannot reach. On the one hand, this part of the material cannot be discharged smoothly, resulting in waste. On the other hand, the user can only remove the loading barrel for cleaning, causing inconvenience in use.
[0004] Of course, existing methods also increase the overall size of the material storage tank, which is equivalent to increasing the distance that the material has to climb up the front side wall to the concave corner, making it difficult for the material to move to the concave corner and accumulate. However, this will increase the size of the machine. In frozen food manufacturing machines, users often add an appropriate amount of material according to their needs. An excessively large storage chamber is not suitable and will result in waste. Utility Model Content

[0027] The technical scheme in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below by combining with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model, obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all the embodiment. Based on the embodiment in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0028] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a front baffle structure for a loading hopper, including a housing 1. The housing 1 has a storage cavity 101. The storage cavity 101 has at least a front sidewall 3 and a barrel wall 4 surrounding the front sidewall 3. The front sidewall 3 is provided with a discharge port 102. Generally, one end of the housing 1 is an open end to facilitate the insertion of the stirring assembly into the storage cavity 101. When this solution is applied to frozen food manufacturing equipment, the spiral pushing blade 9 is inserted into the storage cavity 101 to stir and push the material in the storage cavity 101.
[0029] To address the issue of material accumulation in corners and edges, this solution includes a baffle plate 2 within the storage chamber 101. The baffle plate 2 is at least positioned on the front sidewall 3, which has the discharge port 102, to guide material blocked by the front sidewall 3 back into the storage chamber 101. By adding a baffle plate structure to the front sidewall with the discharge port at the front of the storage chamber, during daily use, as the material is stirred and pushed to the discharge port, the baffle plate effectively prevents the material from moving along the front sidewall to corners and edges. This prevents material accumulation in concave corners, which can lead to difficulties in cleaning and inconvenience. Furthermore, the baffle plate guides the material to fall back into the storage chamber after moving along it, allowing it to contact the spiral pusher blades inside the storage chamber for stirring, thus improving the stirring effect.
[0030] This solution solves the problem of material accumulation and compression by setting up baffles, thus allowing for more flexible design of the filling hopper volume without worrying about small volume causing accumulation problems.
[0031] Considering that during use, the material generally concentrates on the front side along with the spiral pusher blades 9, the baffle 2 in this solution can be set between the entire front sidewall 3 and the barrel wall 4 to prevent material from entering the corner from all sides. Correspondingly, the baffle 2 is set on the outer periphery of the rotation axis 91; wherein, the rotation axis is the axis of rotation of the spiral pusher blades 9 installed in the housing 1. As a preferred embodiment, the baffle 2 in this solution is set at the top of the front sidewall 3, and the discharge port 102 is close to the bottom of the front sidewall 3. The probability and degree of material accumulation and adhesion on the front sidewall are the greatest, so setting the baffle only on the upper side can meet the usage requirements to a certain extent, and its structure is simpler.
[0032] The material blocking plate 2 is arranged in the storage cavity 101 in an inclined posture from the front side wall 3 to the barrel wall 4, and the inclined posture is beneficial to guide the material to move along the inclined surface, and in the moving process, the material is inclined upward and backward (relative to the direction of the material pushing movement), so that the material is directly dropped to the rear side, the material is guided to drop into the storage cavity again, and the contact between the material and the spiral pushing blade in the storage cavity is facilitated to stir, and the stirring effect is improved.
[0033] In addition, in order to prevent the material from being accumulated at the connecting position of the material blocking plate and the side wall, the front side wall 3 is arranged at an included angle greater than 90°.
[0034] Further, in order to further increase the difficulty of the material accumulation at the connecting position of the material blocking plate and the side wall, the connecting position of the material blocking plate 2 and the front side wall 3 is a round corner transition.
[0035] Specifically, in the embodiment of the utility model, one end of the material blocking plate 2 is connected to the front side wall 3, and the other end is connected to the barrel wall 4 in cooperation with the inner wall contour of the barrel wall 4, and the one end of the material blocking plate 2 connected to the barrel wall 4 further has a vertical blocking part 21 extending upward from the end of the material blocking plate 2 to the barrel wall 4, which is beneficial to the material falling back into the storage cavity when the material moves to the end of the material blocking plate 2 and the end forms a fault with the barrel wall of the top through the vertical blocking part 21.
[0036] In the embodiment of the utility model, the material blocking plate 2 is integrally formed with the shell 1, which is simple in structure and convenient to manufacture.
[0037] As shown in Figure 7 , Figure 8 As another independent embodiment, the utility model also provides a side material blocking structure of a loading barrel, which comprises a shell 1, the shell 1 is provided with a storage cavity 101, the storage cavity 101 is provided with at least a front side wall 3 and a barrel wall 4 surrounding the front side wall 3, the front side wall 3 is provided with a discharge port 102, the storage cavity 101 is further provided with a material blocking plate 2, the material blocking plate 2 is arranged on the barrel wall 4 and extends forward to the front side wall 3, and the material blocking plate 2 has a guide surface 201 folded into the storage cavity 101 from bottom to top.
[0038] Therefore, this embodiment is particularly suitable for structures where the barrel wall 4 is square or polygonal, and the sides and top of the barrel wall must form connecting edges and angles. This solution not only prevents material accumulation on the front side but also effectively prevents material accumulation around the perimeter during stirring. Thus, the volume of the shell 1 does not need to be considered, allowing for a more refined product design.
[0039] Specifically, this solution takes a structure with an arc-shaped barrel wall and an arc-shaped connection between the side and the top as an example. The side of the barrel wall 4 is a vertical side 401, and the baffle plate 2 is set on the vertical side 401 and extends along the axial direction (this axial direction is referenced to the rotation axis of the spiral pusher blade mentioned above). The guide surface 201 is constructed to connect with the vertical side 401 on the lower side and bend upward into the storage cavity 101. Its guiding function is at least to guide the material to the middle of the storage cavity 101 (generally, the spiral pusher blade is set in the middle of the storage cavity 101), thereby also accelerating the material from the side back to the middle for re-stirring when it is being stirred, which is beneficial to improving the stirring effect.
[0040] In this scheme, the guide surface 201 can also be designed as an inclined surface that folds towards the storage cavity, or as an arc-shaped surface that bends towards the storage cavity. Preferred, this scheme adopts an arc-shaped surface.
[0041] Furthermore, taking the two opposing vertical sides of the barrel wall 4 as the left and right sides, this solution provides the baffle 2 on at least one side, or the baffle 2 can be provided on both opposing sides.
[0042] Of course, this embodiment can also be regarded as the material baffle structure in the first embodiment above, where the baffle plate 2 is disposed between the front side wall 3 and the barrel wall 4 and extends backward along the axial direction.
[0043] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the front baffle structure of the loading hopper in this solution can also be used in food manufacturing appliances. This utility model also provides a frozen food manufacturing apparatus, including a body 99, on which the aforementioned front baffle structure of the loading hopper is provided. This frozen food manufacturing apparatus, such as a slush machine, is particularly suitable for producing slushy food materials using this front baffle structure.
[0044] The utility model provides a kind of loading bucket front prevents material stacking structure material blocking structure, it is increased on the side wall front side wall of the discharge port in the front end of storage cavity by material blocking plate structure, in the process of being stirred and pushed to discharge port in daily use, material blocking plate can effectively prevent material and move to corner position along side wall front side wall, to prevent material accumulation in the included angle recess from causing difficult to clean and inconvenient to use problem, and the effect of material blocking plate is still in guiding material to move along material blocking plate, it is helpful to re-fall to storage cavity, contact with helical pushing blade in storage cavity and stir, it is also helpful to improve stirring effect.[h2]
