Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigeration equipment technology, and in particular to an ice cream sales freezer with classified storage function. Background Technology

[0002] In the ice cream sales industry, freezers are essential equipment for storing and displaying ice cream. As a food that melts easily and requires strict temperature control, the quality of ice cream largely depends on the freezer. The freezer is like the "home" of the ice cream, providing a suitable low-temperature environment to prevent it from melting too quickly. In a sales setting, the freezer not only maintains the freshness of the ice cream but also serves as a crucial window for showcasing the product to customers. Through the transparent glass of the freezer, customers can clearly see the various types of ice cream, and the layout and display effect of the freezer directly influence their purchasing decisions.

[0003] Freezers use a refrigeration system to lower the internal temperature to a suitable range for ice cream storage, typically -18°C to -20°C. Within this temperature range, ice cream maintains its optimal taste and texture while preventing bacterial growth and melting. Ice cream is a high-moisture food, and the freezer's airtight design prevents it from getting damp. Furthermore, air circulation within the freezer helps keep the ice cream dry, preventing moisture evaporation and freezing.

[0004] In existing technologies, the internal structure of some freezers is relatively fixed, making it impossible to flexibly adjust the storage space for ice cream slabs of different sizes. For example, when there are ice cream slabs of various sizes, the lack of adjustable dividers leads to wasted space or disorganized arrangement of the ice cream. This not only affects the space utilization of the freezer but also makes it difficult for customers to select their desired ice cream, as the messy arrangement makes it hard for customers to quickly find the one they need. Therefore, this paper proposes an ice cream vending freezer with categorized storage function to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0035] The adjustment mechanism includes two placement plates 4, which are externally fixed to the inner wall of the storage chamber 3. The placement plates 4 serve as a foundation for supporting and fixing other components. An adjustment frame 5 is fixedly connected to the front left side of each placement plate 4. Multiple sliding plates 6 are slidably connected to the outside of the adjustment frame 5. A partition plate 7 is fixedly connected to the rear end of each sliding plate 6. The bottom sides of the partition plates 7 contact the top side of the placement plate 4. A chamber is formed inside each sliding plate 6. A movable plate 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the chamber. A sliding pin 9 is fixedly connected to the middle of the movable plate 8. The outer wall of the sliding pin 9 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding plate 6, and a spring 10 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding pin 9. The rear side of the spring 10 is fixedly connected to the front side of the movable plate 8, and the front side of the spring 10 is fixedly connected to the front inner wall of the chamber. The chamber provides space for the movable plate 8, the sliding pin 9, and the spring 10 to move. Its sliding motion can move the partition plates 7, thereby adjusting the distance between the partition plates 7. The divider 7, driven by the sliding plate 6, is mainly used for storing block-shaped ice cream. By adjusting the spacing, it can accommodate ice cream blocks of different sizes, making more efficient use of space and arranging the ice cream more neatly. When the pull block 11 moves the movable plate 8 forward, the movable plate 8 compresses the spring 10, indirectly moving the sliding pin 9, which is the key transmission component for adjusting the spacing of the divider 7. The sliding pin 9 engages or disengages with the pin hole 12 on the adjusting frame 5. Moving forward to disengage the pin allows the sliding plate 6 to slide and adjust the spacing. After adjustment, it re-engages and fixes itself under the action of the spring 10. The front end of the sliding pin 9 is fixedly connected to the pull block 11, and the rear side of the pull block 11 contacts the front side of the sliding plate 6. The front part of the adjusting frame 5 has multiple pin holes 12, and the outside of the sliding pin 9 engages with the inside of the pin holes 12. The multiple pin holes 12 cooperate with the sliding pin 9 to provide positioning and fixation when adjusting the spacing of the divider 7. By pulling the pull block 11, in conjunction with the connection of the sliding pin 9 and other components, the movable plate 8 is moved, thereby initiating the operation of adjusting the spacing of the partition plates 7.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The sorting mechanism includes two long strips 14, the bottom of which are fixedly connected to the front right side of the placement plate 4. The top of the adjusting frame 5 has multiple label slots 13, and the top of the long strips 14 has multiple label slots 15. These, together with the label slots 13 on the top of the adjusting frame 5, clearly display the ice cream labels and dates to customers, making it easy for them to understand the ice cream information. The right side of the interior of the placement plate 4 has multiple cylindrical holes 16 specifically for storing cone-shaped ice cream, allowing for independent storage, facilitating sorting and customer selection. A fixing plate 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage chamber 3, and a sealing component is fixedly connected inside the fixing plate 17 to reduce external influences on the ice cream. The fixing plate 17 is located at the bottom of the storage chamber 3 and houses the sealing component, serving to fix and support the sealing component, ensuring its stable operation.

[0037] The sealing assembly includes multiple bowl-shaped blocks 18, which are externally fixedly connected to the top of a fixed plate 17. The bowl-shaped blocks 18 are primarily used to hold ice cream, allowing customers to easily scoop out ice cream scoops of different sizes. An arc-shaped plate 19 is fixedly connected to the rear top of each bowl-shaped block 18. Rotating blocks 20 are rotatably connected to both sides of each bowl-shaped block 18. A rotating plate 21 is fixedly connected to the top of each rotating block 20. The outer wall of the rotating plate 21 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped plate 19. The arc-shaped plate 19 cooperates with the rotating plate 21, providing a track for the rotating plate 21 during sliding, thus enhancing the sealing effect. The rotating block 20 serves as a connecting component for the rotating plate 21, allowing the rotating plate 21 to rotate around it, thereby enabling opening and closing operations. A slot 22 is provided on the front top of each bowl-shaped block 18, and a sealing strip is detachably connected to the inner bottom wall of the slot 22. The outer surface of the rotating plate 21 engages with the interior of the slot 22, and the outer wall of the rotating plate 21 contacts the outer surface of the sealing strip. The rotating plate 21, in conjunction with the sealing strip inside the slot 22, increases the sealing effect and reduces the impact of external factors on the contamination of the ice cream inside the bowl-shaped block 18.

[0038] Working principle: The left side of the placement plate 4 is used to place the ice cream in sections. By pulling the pull block 11 and connecting it with the sliding pin 9, the movable plate 8 is moved forward and squeezed by the spring 10. This causes the sliding pin 9 to move forward and release the pin hole 12, allowing the sliding plate 6 to slide on the adjustment frame 5. This allows the distance between each partition plate 7 to be adjusted. After adjustment, the pressure generated by the compressed spring 10, combined with the connection of the movable plate 8, causes the sliding pin 9 to move backward and re-engage with the pin hole 12. This makes flexible use of the internal space of the storage chamber 3, increases the space utilization rate, and makes the ice cream more neatly arranged.

[0039] The label slots 13 and 15 prominently display the ice cream labels and dates to customers. The divider 7 stores block-shaped ice cream, the cylindrical hole 16 stores cone-shaped ice cream, and the bowl-shaped block 18 allows customers to scoop out ice cream balls of different sizes according to their preferences. At the same time, the cooperation between the rotating plate 21 and the sealing strip in the slot 22 increases the sealing effect and reduces the impact of external factors on the contamination of the ice cream in the bowl-shaped block 18.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
