Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice cream display cabinet technology, and more specifically, to a special display cabinet for ice cream display and sales. Background Technology

[0002] Italian handmade ice cream is characterized by its freshness, healthiness, and lack of additives (additives include stabilizers, preservatives, colorings, flavorings, etc.). It emphasizes making it fresh to order and has a short shelf life. The temperature requirements and sales environment for storage and sales are higher than those for general industrial ice cream. Temperature changes must be controlled within 1 degree Celsius, and the sales environment must showcase the freshly made ice cream, thus requiring a special display and sales cabinet for preservation.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered that most ice cream display and sales cabinets currently on the market consist of a foam box with an open top. A foam platform is fixed to the top of the foam box using screws or adhesive. Round holes are then drilled in the platform, and stainless steel tubs containing ice cream are placed inside, the number depending on the flavor. The tubs are fitted with stainless steel insulated lids, and the cabinet uses direct cooling. Customers can easily scoop out ice cream by opening the insulated lids. While these existing ice cream cabinets offer good sealing and insulation, are energy-efficient, and ensure the freshness and good taste of the ice cream, the structure of the foam platform... The existing display case only has a round opening, making it impossible to thoroughly clean the hard-to-reach areas inside. Prolonged use can lead to bacterial growth, affecting the quality of the ice cream and potentially causing food safety issues. Furthermore, during the cooling process, the heavier cold air tends to sink to the bottom of the container due to direct cooling, resulting in uneven temperatures and poor overall cooling performance, which is detrimental to ice cream storage. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved display case specifically for ice cream display and sales, aiming to achieve greater practical value. Utility Model Content

[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a special display and sales cabinet for ice cream. It can add a foaming platform on the top of the refrigeration cabinet, and add a shelf, stackable round barrels, inner barrels and sealed inner lid inside, making it easier to clean the inside of the refrigeration cabinet. It solves the problem that traditional ice cream display and sales cabinets cannot thoroughly clean the sanitary dead corners inside the cabinet, which leads to bacterial growth and affects the quality of ice cream. At the same time, the addition of the support and shelf can suspend the round barrels inside the cabinet. With the action of the fan, the cold air inside the refrigeration cabinet can be circulated, ensuring that the temperature at the top and bottom of the refrigeration cabinet is uniform, which greatly improves the overall refrigeration effect and allows the ice cream to be stored better.

[0006] 2. Technical Solution

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0008] An ice cream display and sales cabinet includes a refrigerated cabinet. A foaming platform is rotatably connected to the top of the refrigerated cabinet via a hinge. Supports are installed on both inner walls of the refrigerated cabinet. A placement rack is fixedly connected between two of the support brackets. The placement rack is divided into multiple placement slots by partitions, and a cylindrical barrel is placed in each placement slot. An inner barrel is placed inside each cylindrical barrel, and a gap is provided between the inner wall of the cylindrical barrel and the outer wall of the inner barrel. A sealed inner cover is provided on the top of the inner barrel. A fan is installed in the middle of the support brackets. A circular hole is opened on the top of the foaming platform corresponding to the placement slot, and an insulated cover adapted to the cylindrical barrel is provided in the circular hole.

[0009] Furthermore, both sides of the outer periphery of the cylinder are provided with external protrusions, and the inner side of the partition is provided with a slot that matches the external protrusion, and the corresponding external protrusion is engaged in the slot.

[0010] Furthermore, two inner grooves are provided at both ends of the outer periphery of the inner barrel, and inner protrusions are provided on the inner wall of the barrel corresponding to the inner grooves, and the inner protrusions are engaged with the corresponding inner grooves.

[0011] Furthermore, the top edge of the cylindrical part is provided with an inward folding part, and the top edge of the inner part is provided with an outward folding part, the outward folding part overlapping the top of the inward folding part.

[0012] Furthermore, the top center of the sealing inner cover is recessed, and a sealing skirt is provided at the edge of the sealing inner cover, with both the inward and outward folds located inside the sealing skirt.

[0045] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0046] Example:

[0047] Please see Figures 1-9 An ice cream display and sales cabinet includes a refrigeration cabinet 1. A foaming platform 2 is rotatably connected to the top of the refrigeration cabinet 1 via a hinge. Supports 3 are installed on both inner walls of the refrigeration cabinet 1. A placement rack 4 is fixedly connected between two supports 3. The placement rack 4 is divided into multiple placement slots by partitions 5. A cylindrical barrel 6 is placed in each placement slot. An inner barrel 7 is placed inside the cylindrical barrel 6. A gap is provided between the inner wall of the cylindrical barrel 6 and the outer wall of the inner barrel 7. A sealed inner cover 8 is provided on the top of the inner barrel 7. A fan 9 is installed in the middle of the support 3. A circular hole 10 is opened on the top of the foaming platform 2 corresponding to the placement slot. An insulation cover 11 adapted to the cylindrical barrel 6 is provided in the circular hole 10. Self-limiting telescopic support rods 16 are installed between the inner walls at both ends of the refrigeration cabinet 1 and the foaming platform 2. The self-limiting telescopic support rods 16 can be gas springs or electric push rods.

[0048] See Figure 4 and Figure 7Both sides of the outer periphery of the cylindrical barrel 6 are provided with external protrusions 12. The inner side of the partition plate 5 is provided with a slot 13 that matches the external protrusions 12, and the corresponding external protrusions 12 are engaged in the slot 13. In use, the setting of the external protrusions 12 and the slot 13 can ensure that the cylindrical barrel 6 will not rotate after being placed in the placement slot when scooping ice cream, thus playing a limiting role.

[0049] See Figure 7 Two inner grooves 14 are provided at both ends of the outer periphery of the inner barrel 7. The inner wall of the cylindrical barrel 6 is provided with inner protrusions 15 corresponding to the inner grooves 14. The inner protrusions 15 are engaged with the corresponding inner grooves 14. In use, the inner grooves 14 and inner protrusions 15 can ensure that the inner barrel 7 will not rotate inside the cylindrical barrel 6 when scooping ice cream, thus limiting the position of the inner barrel 7 and not affecting the ice cream scooping operation of the staff.

[0050] See Figure 7 and Figure 9 The top edge of the cylindrical barrel 6 is provided with an inward folding part 601, and the top edge of the inner barrel 7 is provided with an outward folding part 701. The outward folding part 701 overlaps the top of the inward folding part 601. In use, the inward folding part 601 and the outward folding part 701 make it easy to put the inner barrel 7 into and out of the cylindrical barrel 6, and facilitate cleaning.

[0051] See Figure 9 The inner sealing cover 8 has a recessed top center position, and a sealing skirt 801 is provided at the edge of the inner sealing cover 8. Both the inward-folding part 601 and the outward-folding part 701 are provided inside the sealing skirt 801. In use, the inner sealing cover 8 can seal and preserve the ice cream in the inner bucket 7 to avoid contamination. At the same time, the recessed top center of the inner sealing cover 8 allows multiple inner buckets 7 to be stacked during transportation to reduce space occupation and facilitate transportation.

[0052] See Figure 5 Each of the two supports 3 has several through holes 301 on the bottom of the side that is far apart from each other, and the through holes 301 are distributed in a matrix. When in use, the through holes 301 facilitate the circulation of cold air inside the refrigeration cabinet 1.

[0053] See Figure 5 The air outlet of fan 9 is close to the through hole 301, and the air inlet of fan 9 is close to the cylinder 6.

[0054] Working principle: First, remove the insulation cover 11, then flip it upwards to open the foaming platform 2. The self-limiting telescopic support rods on both sides of the refrigeration cabinet 1 allow the foaming platform 2 to be placed at a 70-degree angle. Then, take out the sealing inner cover 8, inner barrel 7, and round barrel 6 in sequence, and clean the sealing inner cover 8, inner barrel 7, round barrel 6, the inside of the refrigeration cabinet 1, and the placement rack 4. After cleaning, align the outer protrusion 12 on the round barrel 6 with the corresponding slot 13 and place it in the placement groove. Then, align the inner groove 14 on the inner barrel 7 with the inner protrusion 15 and place it in the round barrel 6. Finally, reset the foaming platform 2 and cover the round hole 10 with the insulation cover 11 to ensure the airtightness of the refrigeration cabinet 1. The foaming platform 2 has a limit device when closed to prevent excessive closing and poor sealing. Since the temperature inside the cabinet is low when the product is used, reaching -18 / -22 degrees, the sealing of the opening structure of the foaming platform 2 is treated, and a two-level sealing structure is used to strengthen the sealing.

[0055] During the cooling process, fan 9 is started. Fan 9 blows the air from the top of the cooling cabinet 1 to the bottom of the cooling cabinet 1, while the cold air at the bottom of the cooling cabinet 1 is carried to the top of the cooling cabinet 1, so that the cold air inside the cooling cabinet 1 is circulated, ensuring that the temperature of the cooling cabinet 1 is uniform from top to bottom.
