Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice cream machine technology, and in particular to an electrical control box mounting structure and an ice cream machine. Background Technology

[0002] As the core control component of an ice cream machine, the ease of assembly and maintenance of the electrical control box directly affects the overall efficiency and maintenance costs of the equipment. Traditional ice cream machine electrical control boxes typically use a screw-fixed assembly method. While this design ensures the stability of the control box, it has several shortcomings in practical use. First, screw assembly is cumbersome, requiring tools for installation and disassembly, increasing assembly and maintenance time costs. Second, screws are prone to loosening or corrosion over long-term use, affecting the stability and safety of the control box. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that is simple in structure, easy to assemble, and ensures the stability of the control box to address the problems caused by the traditional screw assembly method. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on this, this application provides an electrical control box mounting structure and an ice cream machine, which adopts a screwless assembly method for the electrical control box, optimizes the connection structure between the electrical control box and the machine body, realizes quick assembly and disassembly, and ensures the stability of the electrical control box.

[0004] An electrical control box mounting structure for an ice cream machine includes: a housing assembly having a mounting cavity; a mounting bracket disposed on the housing assembly and located within the mounting cavity, the mounting bracket having a mounting groove; and an electrical control box detachably mounted on the mounting bracket, at least a portion of the electrical control box being adapted to the mounting groove.

[0005] The first aspect of this application discloses an electrical control box mounting structure. By adapting the electrical control box to the mounting slot of the mounting bracket, screwless fixing is eliminated, enabling rapid assembly and disassembly, significantly improving installation and maintenance efficiency, and reducing operational difficulty and time costs. The mounting bracket is located within the mounting cavity of the housing assembly, providing stable support for the electrical control box and ensuring that it will not loosen or fall off due to vibration or external forces during equipment operation, thus improving the overall structural reliability. The mounting slot design can be adapted to the size and shape of different electrical control box models, exhibiting strong versatility and meeting the needs of various ice cream machines, reducing design and manufacturing costs. The structural design of the electrical control box adapting to the mounting slot eliminates the need for complex screw fixing devices, simplifying the overall manufacturing process and assembly procedures of the electrical control box mounting structure, reducing production costs, and minimizing maintenance problems caused by loose or corroded screws. The screwless assembly method makes daily maintenance of the electrical control box more convenient and faster for users, improving the user experience of the equipment and making it suitable for scenarios requiring frequent maintenance.

[0006] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket includes a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion. The first mounting portion is disposed on the housing assembly, and the second mounting portion is disposed on the first mounting portion. The second mounting portion has a mounting groove, which includes a first adapter groove, a second adapter groove, and a heat dissipation area. At least a portion of the electrical control box is adapted to the first adapter groove and the second adapter groove, respectively. By directly fixing the first mounting portion to the housing assembly, a stable support foundation is provided for the second mounting portion, thereby further enhancing the overall stability of the electrical control box installation and effectively preventing loosening or displacement caused by vibration or external forces during equipment operation. The second mounting portion has a mounting groove adapted to the electrical control box. This design makes the installation position of the electrical control box more precise, avoiding installation difficulties or functional abnormalities caused by assembly errors, and improving assembly efficiency and reliability. The integrated structural design of the first and second mounting portions reduces the number of parts, simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces production costs, and reduces the risk of errors and failures caused by the assembly of multiple parts. Through the integrated design, the second mounting portion can make more rational use of the space within the housing assembly, avoid interference with other components, and provide more ample installation space for the electrical control box. At least a portion of the electrical control box is fitted into the first and second adapter slots, ensuring precise positioning and secure installation. The heat dissipation area design helps dissipate heat generated during operation, improving the box's cooling efficiency. The rationally designed mounting slot structure optimizes the installation space, resulting in a more compact overall structure.

[0007] In one embodiment, the second mounting portion is provided with protruding ribs, the number of which is several. These ribs are evenly spaced on the wall of the mounting groove, and each rib abuts against at least a portion of the electrical control box. By abutting the electrical control box with the ribs, the friction between the electrical control box and the mounting bracket is increased, thereby enhancing the fixation of the electrical control box within the mounting groove and preventing it from loosening or falling off. The ribs also act as a buffer, absorbing vibrations and impacts to the electrical control box, protecting the internal electronic components, and extending their lifespan. Compared to the entire groove wall contacting the electrical control box, the ribs reduce the contact area, thus lowering the frictional resistance during assembly and disassembly, making operation smoother. Furthermore, the gaps between the ribs can form ventilation channels, facilitating airflow and further improving the heat dissipation of the electrical control box. The design of the ribs requires no complex processing technology; they can be directly formed on the groove wall of the mounting groove, resulting in a simple manufacturing process, low cost, and without affecting the overall compactness and aesthetics of the structure.

[0008] In one embodiment, the protruding rib forms a slope near the mounting inlet of the mounting slot, with the slope facing the mounting inlet. This sloped design guides the assembly, automatically aligning the control box with the correct position in the mounting slot, making insertion smoother, reducing assembly difficulty, and improving assembly efficiency. The slope at the mounting inlet reduces the initial contact area between the control box and the rib, thereby reducing frictional resistance during assembly and making the assembly process easier and less strenuous. Furthermore, the sloped design prevents the edge of the control box from directly colliding with the sharp part of the rib during installation, protecting the control box's outer casing from scratches or damage.

[0009] In one embodiment, the second mounting portion includes a second mounting portion body, a first adapter portion, and a second adapter portion. The first adapter portion, the second mounting portion body, and the second adapter portion are sequentially connected and enclosed to form the mounting groove, and a heat dissipation area is formed between the first adapter portion and the second adapter portion. This structural design, where the first and second adapter portions cooperate to form a heat dissipation area, provides additional heat dissipation space for the control box, effectively reducing the heat generated during operation and preventing performance degradation or malfunctions due to overheating, thus improving the operational stability and service life of the equipment. The sequential connection and enclosure of the first adapter portion, the second mounting portion body, and the second adapter portion to form the mounting groove makes the mounting structure more compact and reasonable, fully utilizing the space within the housing assembly and providing a stable mounting foundation for the control box. The design of the first and second adapter portions allows for more precise alignment of the control box during installation, reducing adjustment time during assembly and improving assembly efficiency.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first adapter portion and the second adapter portion are respectively provided with a first adapter slot and a second adapter slot, which are arranged opposite to each other. At least a portion of the electrical control box is adapted to the first adapter slot and the second adapter slot respectively. The opposite arrangement of the first and second adapter slots allows for precise positioning and limiting of the electrical control box, ensuring that it does not shift or shake during installation, thus improving installation accuracy and stability. The adaptation of the first and second adapter slots to at least a portion of the electrical control box enables rapid alignment during installation, reducing adjustment time during assembly, improving assembly efficiency, and reducing operational difficulty. Simultaneously, the design of the first and second adapter slots evenly distributes the weight of the electrical control box and the vibrations and impacts generated during equipment operation, enhancing the overall structural strength and reliability. Furthermore, the opposite arrangement of the first and second adapter slots provides additional heat dissipation space for the electrical control box, effectively reducing the heat generated during operation and preventing performance degradation or malfunction due to overheating.

[0011] In one embodiment, both the walls of the first and second adapter slots are provided with protruding ribs. By providing protruding ribs on the walls of both the first and second adapter slots, the stability, vibration resistance, ease of assembly, and heat dissipation of the electrical control box mounting structure are further improved, while extending its service life and enhancing the reliability of the equipment. The design of multiple protruding ribs further increases the friction between the electrical control box and the first and second adapter slots, thereby enhancing the fixing effect of the electrical control box and preventing it from loosening or falling off.

[0012] In one embodiment, a motor assembly is further included, which is disposed on the first mounting portion and located within the mounting cavity, below the electrical control box. By placing the motor assembly below the electrical control box, the vertical space of the mounting cavity of the housing assembly is fully utilized, resulting in a more compact overall structure and improved space utilization. The motor assembly and electrical control box are respectively mounted on the first and second mounting portions, achieving a modular design that facilitates independent assembly and maintenance of each component, improves assembly efficiency, and makes maintenance and repair more convenient.

[0013] In one embodiment, the electrical control box includes a lower housing, an upper housing, and a PCB assembly. The upper housing covers the lower housing, and the lower housing and the upper housing together form a receiving cavity. The PCB assembly is disposed on the upper housing and located within the receiving cavity. This cover design between the lower and upper housings achieves a modular structure for the electrical control box, making the installation and maintenance of the PCB assembly more convenient, improving assembly efficiency, and reducing maintenance costs. The receiving cavity formed by the lower and upper housings provides a sealed protective space for the PCB assembly, effectively preventing dust, moisture, or other external contaminants from entering, thus extending the service life of the PCB assembly. The modular design allows the PCB assembly to be installed and replaced independently, facilitating equipment expansion and upgrades, meeting different functional requirements, and improving the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment.

[0014] In one embodiment, the upper housing is provided with a snap-fit ​​hole, and the lower housing is provided with a snap-fit ​​part, the snap-fit ​​part being adapted to the snap-fit ​​hole. This adapted design of the snap-fit ​​part and snap-fit ​​hole enables quick connection between the upper and lower housings, eliminating the need for additional screws or tools, simplifying the assembly process and improving assembly efficiency. The tight fit between the snap-fit ​​part and the snap-fit ​​hole ensures a stable connection between the upper and lower housings, enhancing the overall structural stability of the electrical control box and reducing the impact of vibration and shock on the internal PCB components.

[0015] In one embodiment, the PCB assembly has an adapter hole, and the upper housing has a limiting post on the side facing the PCB assembly. The limiting post has a limiting hole, which is positioned opposite to the adapter hole. This design, with the limiting hole and adapter hole facing each other, allows the PCB assembly and the upper housing to be fixedly connected using screws or other connectors, while maintaining a certain gap between them to ensure proper heat dissipation. The opposing positioning of the limiting hole and adapter hole ensures accurate positioning of the PCB assembly within the upper housing, preventing possible offset or misalignment during assembly and improving assembly precision. Furthermore, the limiting post design optimizes the contact between the PCB assembly and the upper housing, improves the heat dissipation path, enhances heat dissipation performance, and ensures the stability of the PCB assembly during long-term operation.

[0016] In one embodiment, the lower housing is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes, which are evenly spaced apart. The arrangement of these holes increases airflow channels, facilitating the dissipation of heat generated inside the control box, thereby effectively reducing the temperature of the control box and improving its operational stability and service life. The evenly spaced arrangement of the heat dissipation holes also ensures a more uniform temperature distribution inside the control box, preventing localized overheating.

[0017] An ice cream machine includes: a support assembly; an electrical control box mounting structure as described above, the electrical control box mounting structure being disposed on the support assembly; a material cylinder disposed on the electrical control box mounting structure and the support assembly, the material cylinder having a mixing chamber; a stirring assembly disposed on the electrical control box mounting structure, at least a portion of the stirring assembly extending into the mixing chamber; and a refrigeration device disposed on the support assembly.

[0018] The second aspect of this application discloses an ice cream maker. The design of the electrical control box mounting structure optimizes the installation stability of the control box, ensuring its firmness during operation and reducing the risk of malfunctions due to vibration or impact, thereby improving the overall stability and reliability of the equipment. The stable electrical control box mounting structure guarantees the normal operation of the mixing components and the refrigeration unit, thus better controlling the ice cream making process and improving the taste and quality of the ice cream. Simultaneously, the screwless assembly design of the electrical control box makes installation, disassembly, and maintenance more convenient, reducing maintenance costs and time. At least a portion of the mixing components extends into the mixing chamber of the material cylinder, enabling thorough mixing of materials and ensuring uniform mixing, thereby improving the production efficiency and product quality of the ice cream maker.

[0033] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0034] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0035] The following describes the electrical control box mounting structure and ice cream machine according to some embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this embodiment discloses an electrical control box mounting structure for an ice cream machine, including: a housing assembly 1, the housing assembly 1 having a mounting cavity 101; a mounting bracket 2, the mounting bracket 2 being disposed on the housing assembly 1 and located within the mounting cavity 101, the mounting bracket 2 having a mounting groove 201; and an electrical control box 3, the electrical control box 3 being detachably disposed on the mounting bracket 2, at least a portion of the electrical control box 3 being adapted to the mounting groove 201.

[0037] The first aspect of this application discloses an electrical control box mounting structure. By adapting the electrical control box 3 to the mounting slot 201 of the mounting bracket 2, screwless fixing is eliminated, enabling rapid assembly and disassembly, significantly improving installation and maintenance efficiency, and reducing operational difficulty and time costs. The mounting bracket 2 is located within the mounting cavity 101 of the housing assembly 1, providing stable support for the electrical control box 3 and ensuring that it will not loosen or fall off due to vibration or external forces during equipment operation, thus improving the overall structural reliability. The design of the mounting slot 201 can be adapted to the size and shape of different models of electrical control boxes 3, exhibiting strong versatility and meeting the needs of various ice cream machines, reducing design and manufacturing costs. The structural design of the electrical control box 3 adapting to the mounting slot 201 eliminates the need for complex screw fixing devices, simplifying the overall manufacturing process and assembly procedures of the electrical control box mounting structure, reducing production costs, and minimizing maintenance problems caused by loose or corroded screws. The screwless assembly method makes daily maintenance of the electrical control box 3 more convenient and faster for users, improving the user experience of the equipment and making it suitable for scenarios requiring frequent maintenance.

[0038] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the mounting bracket 2 includes a first mounting part 21 and a second mounting part 22. The first mounting part 21 is disposed on the housing assembly 1, and the second mounting part 22 is disposed on the first mounting part 21. The second mounting part 22 is provided with a mounting groove 201, which includes a first adapter groove 202, a second adapter groove 203, and a heat dissipation area 204. At least a portion of the electrical control box 3 is adapted to the first adapter groove 202 and the second adapter groove 203, respectively. By directly fixing the first mounting part 21 to the housing assembly 1, a stable support foundation is provided for the second mounting part 22, thereby further enhancing the overall stability of the electrical control box 3 installation and effectively preventing loosening or displacement caused by vibration or external force during equipment operation. The second mounting part 22 is provided with a mounting groove 201 adapted to the electrical control box 3. This design makes the installation position of the electrical control box 3 more precise, avoiding installation difficulties or functional abnormalities caused by assembly errors, and improving assembly efficiency and reliability. The integrated design of the first mounting section 21 and the second mounting section 22 reduces the number of parts, simplifies the manufacturing process, lowers production costs, and reduces the risk of errors and malfunctions caused by assembling multiple parts. Through this integrated design, the second mounting section 22 can make more efficient use of the space within the housing assembly 1, avoiding interference with other components and providing more ample installation space for the electrical control box 3. At least a portion of the electrical control box 3 is adapted to the first adapter slot 202 and the second adapter slot 203, ensuring precise positioning and secure installation of the electrical control box 3. The design of the heat dissipation area 204 helps dissipate heat generated by the electrical control box 3 during operation, improving its heat dissipation efficiency. The rationally designed structure of the mounting slot 201 optimizes the installation space of the electrical control box 3, resulting in a more compact overall structure.

[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the second mounting part 22 is provided with protruding ribs 2211, and the number of protruding ribs 2211 is several. The several protruding ribs 2211 are evenly spaced on the groove wall of the mounting groove 201, and the several protruding ribs 2211 abut against at least a portion of the electrical control box 3. By setting the protruding ribs 2211 to abut against the electrical control box 3, the friction between the electrical control box 3 and the mounting bracket 2 is increased, thereby enhancing the fixing effect of the electrical control box 3 in the mounting groove 201 and preventing the electrical control box 3 from loosening or falling off. The protruding ribs 2211 can play a certain buffering role, absorbing the vibration and impact received by the electrical control box 3, protecting the electronic components inside the electrical control box 3, and improving its service life. Compared with the entire groove wall contacting the electrical control box 3, the setting of the protruding ribs 2211 reduces the contact area, thereby reducing the frictional resistance during the assembly and disassembly of the electrical control box 3, making the operation smoother. Furthermore, the gaps between the protruding ribs 2211 can form ventilation channels, which is conducive to air circulation and further improves the heat dissipation effect of the electrical control box 3. The design of the protruding ribs 2211 does not require complicated processing technology and can be directly formed on the wall of the mounting groove 201. The manufacturing process is simple and low-cost, and it does not affect the compactness and aesthetics of the overall structure.

[0040] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the protruding rib 2211 forms a slope near the installation entrance of the mounting groove 201, with the slope facing the installation entrance. The slope design serves as an assembly guide, allowing the electrical control box 3 to automatically align with the correct position of the mounting groove 201, making the insertion of the electrical control box 3 into the mounting groove 201 smoother, reducing assembly difficulty, and improving assembly efficiency. The slope at the installation entrance of the protruding rib 2211 reduces the initial contact area between the electrical control box 3 and the protruding rib 2211, thereby reducing frictional resistance during assembly and making the assembly process easier and less strenuous. Furthermore, the sloped structure prevents the edge of the electrical control box 3 from directly colliding with the sharp part of the protruding rib 2211 during installation, thus protecting the outer shell of the electrical control box 3 from scratches or damage.

[0041] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the second mounting part 22 includes a second mounting part body 221, a first adapter part 222, and a second adapter part 223. The first adapter part 222, the second mounting part body 221, and the second adapter part 223 are sequentially connected and enclosed to form a mounting groove 201, and a heat dissipation area 204 is formed between the first adapter part 222 and the second adapter part 223. Through the structural design of the first adapter part 222 and the second adapter part 223 cooperating to form the heat dissipation area 204, additional heat dissipation space is provided for the electrical control box 3, which can effectively reduce the heat generated by the electrical control box 3 during operation, avoid performance degradation or failure due to overheating, and improve the operational stability and service life of the equipment. The sequential connection and enclosed formation of the mounting groove 201 by the first adapter part 222, the second mounting part body 221, and the second adapter part 223 makes the mounting structure more compact and reasonable, fully utilizing the space within the housing assembly 1, and providing a stable mounting foundation for the electrical control box 3. The design of the first adapter 222 and the second adapter 223 enables the electrical control box 3 to be more accurately aligned during installation, reducing adjustment time during assembly and improving assembly efficiency.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the first adapter part 222 and the second adapter part 223 are respectively provided with a first adapter groove 202 and a second adapter groove 203, the first adapter groove 202 and the second adapter groove 203 are arranged opposite to each other, and at least a portion of the electrical control box 3 is adapted to the first adapter groove 202 and the second adapter groove 203 respectively. By the relative arrangement of the first adapter groove 202 and the second adapter groove 203, the electrical control box 3 can be accurately positioned and limited, ensuring that the electrical control box 3 will not shift or shake during installation, thus improving the accuracy and stability of installation. The first adapter groove 202 and the second adapter groove 203 are respectively adapted to at least a portion of the electrical control box 3, enabling the electrical control box 3 to be quickly aligned during installation, reducing adjustment time during assembly, improving assembly efficiency, and reducing operational difficulty. At the same time, the design of the first adapter groove 202 and the second adapter groove 203 can evenly distribute the weight of the electrical control box 3 and the vibration and impact generated during equipment operation, enhancing the strength and reliability of the overall structure. In addition, the structural design of the first adapter slot 202 and the second adapter slot 203 being arranged opposite each other provides additional heat dissipation space for the electronic control box 3, which can effectively reduce the heat generated by the electronic control box 3 during operation and avoid performance degradation or failure due to overheating.

[0043] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: both the groove wall of the first adapter groove 202 and the groove wall of the second adapter groove 203 are provided with protruding ribs 2211. By providing protruding ribs 2211 on the groove walls of both the first adapter groove 202 and the second adapter groove 203, the stability, vibration resistance, assembly convenience, and heat dissipation performance of the electrical control box 3 installation structure are further improved, while extending the service life and improving the reliability of the equipment. The design of multiple protruding ribs 2211 further increases the friction between the electrical control box 3 and the first adapter groove 202 and the second adapter groove 203, thereby enhancing the fixing effect of the electrical control box 3 and preventing it from loosening or falling off.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes a motor assembly 4, which is disposed on the first mounting portion 21 and located within the mounting cavity 101, below the electrical control box 3. By placing the motor assembly 4 below the electrical control box 3, the vertical space of the mounting cavity 101 of the housing assembly 1 is fully utilized, resulting in a more compact overall structure and improved space utilization. The motor assembly 4 and the electrical control box 3 are respectively disposed on the first mounting portion 21 and the second mounting portion 22, realizing a modular design, facilitating independent assembly and maintenance of each component, improving assembly efficiency, and making maintenance and repair more convenient.

[0045] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the electrical control box 3 includes a lower housing 31, an upper housing 32, and a PCB assembly 33. The upper housing 32 covers the lower housing 31, and the lower housing 31 and the upper housing 32 enclose a receiving cavity 301. The PCB assembly 33 is disposed on the upper housing 32 and located within the receiving cavity 301. Through the covering design of the lower housing 31 and the upper housing 32, a modular structure of the electrical control box 3 is achieved, making the installation and maintenance of the PCB assembly 33 more convenient, improving assembly efficiency, and reducing maintenance costs. The receiving cavity 301 formed by the lower housing 31 and the upper housing 32 provides a closed protective space for the PCB assembly 33, effectively preventing dust, moisture, or other external contaminants from entering, and extending the service life of the PCB assembly 33. The modular design allows the PCB assembly 33 to be installed and replaced independently, facilitating equipment expansion and upgrades, meeting different functional requirements, and improving the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment.

[0046] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the upper housing 32 is provided with a fastening hole 302, and the lower housing 31 is provided with a fastening part 311, the fastening part 311 being adapted to the fastening hole 302. The adaptation design of the fastening part 311 and the fastening hole 302 enables quick fastening between the upper housing 32 and the lower housing 31, eliminating the need for additional screws or tools, simplifying the assembly process, and improving assembly efficiency. The tight fit between the fastening part 311 and the fastening hole 302 ensures a stable connection between the upper housing 32 and the lower housing 31, enhancing the overall structural stability of the electrical control box 3 and reducing the impact of vibration and impact on the internal PCB assembly 33.

The design of the limiting hole 304 and the adapter hole 303 being arranged opposite to each other allows the PCB assembly 33 and the upper housing 32 to be fixedly connected using screws or other connectors, while ensuring that a certain gap is maintained between the PCB assembly 33 and the upper housing 32 to ensure normal heat dissipation of the PCB assembly 33. The opposite arrangement of the limiting hole 304 and the adapter hole 303 ensures accurate positioning of the PCB assembly 33 within the upper housing 32, avoiding possible offset or misalignment during assembly and improving assembly accuracy. Furthermore, the design of the limiting post 321 optimizes the contact between the PCB assembly 33 and the upper housing 32, improves the heat dissipation path, enhances heat dissipation performance, and ensures the stability of the PCB assembly 33 during long-term operation.

[0048] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the lower housing 31 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 305, which are evenly spaced. The arrangement of the heat dissipation holes 305 increases the airflow channels, which helps to dissipate the heat generated inside the electrical control box 3, thereby effectively reducing the temperature of the electrical control box 3 and improving its operational stability and service life. The evenly spaced arrangement of the plurality of heat dissipation holes 305 makes the temperature distribution inside the electrical control box 3 more uniform, avoiding the occurrence of local overheating.

The stable electrical control box mounting structure guarantees the normal operation of the mixing components and the refrigeration device, thus better controlling the ice cream making process and improving the taste and quality of the ice cream. Simultaneously, the screwless assembly design of the electrical control box 3 makes installation, disassembly, and maintenance more convenient, reducing maintenance costs and time. At least a portion of the mixing components extends into the mixing chamber of the material cylinder, enabling thorough mixing of materials and ensuring uniform mixing, thereby improving the production efficiency and product quality of the ice cream maker.

[0051] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described.
