Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice cream decorating machine technology, and in particular to a swing trolley used in an ice cream production line decorating machine. Background Technology

[0002] Ice cream decorating machines are used for continuous ice cream production because they require a single machine to perform operations such as filling, inserting sticks, freezing, melting, and demolding in sequence.

[0003] In the existing ice cream decorating machine production process, different flavor ingredients are typically mixed and patterns are created using multiple nozzles and conveying devices. However, traditional technology has the following shortcomings:

[0004] 1. Limitations in mixing uniformity: The dispersed nozzle design results in a single spray trajectory for the raw materials, making it difficult to achieve sufficient mixing of multiple liquids, often leading to pattern layering or localized accumulation.

[0005] 2. Insufficient precision in pattern control: The pendulum-style swing structure has a limited range of adjustment for swing angle and frequency, which cannot meet the diverse needs of pattern design, resulting in poor aesthetics and consistency of the patterns.

[0006] 3. Poor structural stability: Traditional swing mechanisms are mostly decentralized and independently driven, with low coordination of the actions of each nozzle, and are prone to loosening during long-term operation, resulting in deviations in the distribution of raw materials.

[0007] Therefore, a swing trolley for use on the color-changing machine in an ice cream production line is proposed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0027] 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.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a swing trolley for a flavoring machine in an ice cream production line, including a support component 100 and a support frame (not shown in the figure) connected to the track platform of the flavoring machine. The support component 100 is provided with a plurality of spraying components 200 evenly distributed for spraying at least two different flavors of ice cream ingredients. A swing arm 300 is provided on one side of the support component 100. The swing arm 300 is fixed to the trolley frame by a linear bearing seat. A swing mechanism 400 is provided on the support frame. The swing arm 300 can perform left and right swinging movements through the swing mechanism 400. The swing mechanism 400 includes a motor 410 mounted on the support frame. A transmission component 420 for transmitting power and converting motion mode is provided between the output shaft of the motor 410 and the swing arm 300.

[0029] The support component 100 includes a fixed frame 110 integrally formed with one end of the rocker arm 300. The fixed frame 110 has several sets of equidistantly distributed first slots 120 and second slots 130. Each set of first slots 120 and each set of second slots 130 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The support component 100 can provide an installation base for the spraying component 200.

[0030] Among them, each group of first slots 120 has three along the length of the fixing frame 110, and each group of second slots 130 has six regularly distributed around the three first slots 120.

[0031] The spraying assembly 200 includes a first spray nozzle 210 and a second spray nozzle 220. The discharge port of the first spray nozzle 210 passes through the first slot 120 and is mounted on the fixed frame 110. The discharge port of the second spray nozzle 220 passes through the second slot 130 and is mounted on the fixed frame 110. Multiple first spray nozzles 210 and second spray nozzles 220 work simultaneously, which can reduce the spraying time of a single ice cream. Combined with the rapid swing of the swing arm 300, it can improve the production line capacity, that is, improve the single spraying efficiency. The number or spraying angle of the first spray nozzles 210 and second spray nozzles 220 can be adjusted according to the product specifications to flexibly adapt to the production needs of ice cream patterns of different shapes and sizes, that is, to flexibly adjust the production parameters.

[0032] Both the first spray nozzle 210 and the second spray nozzle 220 are connected to the puffed material cart with flexible hoses. When the swing arm 300 swings, the hoses can bend flexibly with the movement, without affecting the delivery of ice cream raw materials, and at the same time avoiding mechanical jamming caused by rigid pipe connections.

[0033] The transmission assembly 420 includes an eccentric wheel 421 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 410. A sleeve 422 is fitted onto the surface of the eccentric wheel 421. The inner wall of the sleeve 422 contacts the surface of the eccentric wheel 421. A connecting rod 423 is movably connected between the sleeve 422 and the rocker arm 300. By starting the motor 410, the output shaft of the motor 410 can drive the eccentric wheel 421 to rotate in the inner cavity of the sleeve 422. At the same time, the eccentric wheel 421 pushes the sleeve 422 to perform reciprocating linear motion. The connecting rod 423 converts the linear motion into the left and right lateral swing of the rocker arm 300, so that the continuous rotation of the motor's output shaft becomes a controllable reciprocating swing, which meets the requirement of "regular spraying trajectory" in the production of ice cream patterns.

[0034] The connecting rod 423 consists of an inner rod, an outer tube, and a rotating sleeve. The inner rod and the rotating sleeve are connected by a thread. One end of the inner rod is connected to the joint of the rocker arm 300 through a spherical bearing. One end of the rotating sleeve is connected to the outer tube through a bearing. The other end of the outer tube is connected to the joint of the sleeve frame 422 through a spherical bearing. By rotating the rotating sleeve, the overall length of the connecting rod 423 can be changed, thereby changing the swing amplitude of the rocker arm 300. Shortening the overall length of the connecting rod 423 will reduce the swing angle, and vice versa.

[0035] The system also includes a control system. The motor 410, the first spray nozzle 210, and the second spray nozzle 220 are all electrically connected to the control system. The control system is used to control the rotation speed of the output shaft of the motor 410 to change the swing frequency of the rocker arm 300 and the output of the first spray nozzle 210 and the second spray nozzle 220, so as to ensure that the pattern effect is uniform and beautiful. The motor 410 can be a Panasonic A6 series servo motor, which performs well in terms of positioning accuracy and speed control, meeting the requirements of the rocker car for motor performance. The control system can use a Siemens S7-1200 PLC as the controller, and a Weintek touch screen as the human-machine interface, which can meet the functional requirements of precise control and parameter adjustment of the motor 410, the first spray nozzle 210, and the second spray nozzle 220.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The motor 410 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 410 drives the eccentric wheel 421 to rotate in the inner cavity of the sleeve 422. The eccentric wheel 421 pushes the sleeve 422 and the joint bearing seat on it to move up and down reciprocally. The sleeve 422 drives the rocker arm 300 to swing left and right along the coloring machine track platform through the connecting rod 423. The linear bearing seat 500 ensures that the swing is smooth and without jamming. The rocker arm 300 drives the bearing component 100 and the spraying component 200 to swing synchronously. The puffed material trolley transports the raw materials (such as ice cream raw materials and chocolate) to the first spray nozzle 210 and the second spray nozzle 220 through the hose (food-grade silicone tube). The first spray nozzle 210 and the spraying component 200 spray and fill synchronously with the swing arm 300.

[0037] All parts not described in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology. Although embodiments of this utility model 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 this utility model, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
