Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of food processing machinery, specifically an ice cream machine. Background Technology

[0002] Ice cream machines are common household appliances. Their working principle involves placing an ice bucket in the freezer for at least 15 hours in advance to freeze the ice cream mixture into a solid state. The bucket is then removed, placed on the machine, and the machine is started to rotate. The prepared ice cream mixture is then poured into the bucket, and after approximately 30 minutes, the mixture solidifies into semi-solid ice cream due to the heat conduction of the aluminum layer in the bucket. However, existing ice cream machines have several drawbacks. For example, they require the ice bucket to be placed in the freezer for at least 15 hours in advance; the process takes about 30 minutes after the bucket is removed, which is relatively slow; and because the bucket operates directly outdoors, the longer the process takes, the more heat it absorbs, potentially leading to ice cream failure. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] Preferably, the shell of the ice bucket body has a cavity, in which coolant is placed, the inner wall of the cavity is a stainless steel layer, and a superconducting graphene layer is placed between the stainless steel layer and the coolant.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0009] The ice cream machine proposed in this utility model has a superconducting graphene layer between the inner wall of the ice bucket and the coolant.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an ice cream machine, including an ice bucket body 1, with a cavity inside the shell of the ice bucket body 1, and coolant disposed in the cavity. The inner wall of the cavity is made of stainless steel, which facilitates heat conduction and allows users to clean it at will without scratching. A superconducting graphene layer is disposed between the stainless steel layer and the coolant. The thermal conductivity of graphene is more than 20 times that of aluminum, thus significantly shortening the freezing time of the ice bucket in the refrigerator and the ice cream making time, and improving the success rate of ice cream making.

[0017] The top of the ice bucket body 1 is connected to a top frame 2, and the bottom of the ice bucket body 1 is connected to a bottom cylinder 3. A first motor 4 is installed inside the bottom cylinder 3. The first motor 4 rotates repeatedly, rotating one revolution clockwise and then one revolution counterclockwise. The output end of the first motor 4 is connected to a connecting guide post 5, which is inserted into a connecting hole on the bottom surface of the ice bucket body 1. The ice bucket body 1 does not contact the top surface of the bottom cylinder 3. The connecting guide post 5 supports the ice bucket body 1. A balancing component is provided on the connecting guide post 5. The upper end is a hexagonal prism, which passes through a circular hole on the top surface of the bottom cylinder 3. A hexagonal hole is provided on the bottom surface of the ice bucket body 1, and the hexagonal prism is inserted into the corresponding hexagonal hole. The lower end of the connecting guide post 5 is a cylinder. The balancing component includes a balancing frame 6, which is fixedly sleeved on the cylinder. The balancing frame 6 is provided with three side arms, and a guide wheel 7 is installed on each side arm. A balancing track 8 is installed inside the bottom cylinder 3, and the guide wheel 7 is embedded in the balancing track 8, which greatly reduces the shaking noise of the ice bucket during rotation and improves the stability of operation.

[0018] A stirring assembly is connected to the top frame 2. The stirring assembly includes a mounting frame 9. Several support columns are provided at the bottom of the mounting frame 9. Fixing clamps 10 are connected to the bottom of the support columns and are fixedly clamped to the top frame 2. A riser 11 is provided at the center of the bottom surface of the mounting frame 9. A mounting plate 12 is provided at the bottom end of the riser 11. Several side shafts 13 are rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 12. Several interference vanes 14 are provided on the side shafts 13. A first gear 15 is provided on one end of the side shaft 13 that is inserted into the mounting plate 12. A second motor 16 is installed in the mounting frame 9. The output end of the second motor 16 is connected to a drive shaft 17. The drive shaft 17 passes through the riser 11 and extends into the mounting plate 12. A second gear 18 is connected to the bottom end of the drive shaft 17. The second gear 18 and the first gear 15 are meshed. Because the riser 11 fixes the mounting plate 12, when the second motor 16... When the drive shaft 17 is started, the second gear 18 drives the first gear 15, which in turn causes the side shaft 13 to drive the baffle 14 to rotate. The adjacent baffles 14 will not touch each other, which can stir the ice cream liquid and mix the inner and outer layers and the upper and lower layers of ice cream liquid, so that it is cooled evenly.

[0019] In actual use, the frozen ice bucket body 1 is placed on the bottom cylinder 3, and then the ice cream liquid is poured into the ice bucket body 1. Then, the fixing clamp 10 is installed on the top frame 2. The first motor 4 is started to drive the ice bucket body 1 to rotate repeatedly. The second motor 16 is started to drive the transmission shaft 17 to rotate, which in turn causes the side shaft 13 and the baffle 14 to rotate, which can stir and mix the ice cream liquid, so that it is cooled evenly. This avoids the disadvantage that only the outermost layer near the side wall cools down faster. The cooling speed is the same in all positions, which speeds up the ice cream making speed. When the ice cream becomes a viscous semi-solid, the stirring component can be removed.

[0020] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
