Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cold drink product preparation technology, specifically to a chocolate pouring device. Background Technology

[0002] When preparing frozen dessert products such as cone ice cream, chocolate syrup is usually poured onto the surface of the cone ice cream to form a chocolate layer or chocolate granules on the top surface, which can enhance the appearance and overall taste of the cone ice cream.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide a device to achieve the pouring of chocolate syrup is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a chocolate pouring device that can pour chocolate syrup.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a chocolate pouring device, including a suction unit, a distribution unit, and a pouring unit. The suction unit includes a pumping component, a flow guiding component, and a first one-way valve. The flow guiding component is provided with a flow guiding inlet and a flow guiding outlet. The first one-way valve is disposed within the flow guiding component. The pumping component is connected to the flow guiding component, and the flow guiding component is also connected to the distribution unit. The distribution unit is provided with a liquid inlet chamber and a liquid outlet chamber. The liquid inlet chamber is connected to the flow guiding inlet, and the liquid outlet chamber is connected to the flow guiding outlet. The pouring unit has a pouring chamber and a pouring port. The pouring unit is connected to the distribution unit. The pouring chamber is connected to the liquid outlet chamber, and the pouring chamber is connected to the pouring port.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a chocolate pouring device, specifically applicable to ice cream filling machines, for pouring chocolate syrup onto the surface of produced cone ice cream and other cold beverage products; of course, this chocolate pouring device can also be applied to other scenarios, in short, as long as it can pour chocolate syrup. The chocolate pouring device includes a suction unit 1000, a distribution unit 2000, and a pouring unit 3000.

[0045] Combination Figure 2 ,as well as Figures 4-9 The suction unit 1000 includes a pumping component 1100, a flow guiding component 1200, and a first one-way valve 1300.

[0046] The pumping component 1100 includes a pump body 1110 and a pump rod 1120. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the pump body 1110 is provided with a pump chamber 1111, and the pump rod 1120 can be installed in the pump chamber 1111 and can be displaced within the pump chamber 1111, thereby providing pumping driving force for the entire chocolate pouring device. It is evident that the pump rod 1120 and the inner wall of the pump chamber 1111 are sealed to ensure airtightness. A pump end connecting plate 1112 can be provided at one axial end of the pump body 1110.

[0047] Here, the present invention does not limit the driving method of the pump rod 1120. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can configure it according to specific needs, as long as the pump rod 1120 can perform linear displacement. For example, the pumping component 1100 may also include a motor, which can be connected to the pump rod 1120 via a displacement conversion mechanism such as a lead screw mechanism or a gear rack mechanism. These displacement conversion mechanisms can convert the rotational driving force directly output by the motor into the linear driving force required by the pump rod 1120, thereby meeting the driving requirements of the pump rod 1120.

[0048] The flow guiding component 1200 has a flow guiding cavity (not shown in the figure), and is provided with a flow guiding inlet 1211A1 and a flow guiding outlet 1212A, which are the two ports of the flow guiding cavity. A first one-way valve 1300 is disposed in the flow guiding cavity of the flow guiding component 1200. The pumping component 1100 is connected to the flow guiding component 1200, and the aforementioned pump chamber 1111 can communicate with the flow guiding cavity.

[0049] The dispensing unit 2000 is provided with an inlet chamber 2100 and an outlet chamber 2200, wherein the inlet chamber 2100 is filled with chocolate syrup. The guide member 1200 is connected to the dispensing unit 2000, such that the inlet chamber 2100 is connected to the guide inlet 1211A1, and the outlet chamber 2200 is connected to the guide outlet 1212A.

[0050] Combination Figures 10-15 The pouring unit 3000 has a pouring chamber (not shown) and a pouring port 3221. The pouring unit 3000 is also connected to the distribution unit 2000, so that the pouring chamber and the liquid outlet 2200 are connected. The pouring chamber is also connected to the pouring port 3221 so that chocolate liquid can be poured through the pouring port 3221. A second one-way valve 3500 is provided in the pouring chamber.

[0051] In practical operation, the pumping component 1100 first generates pump suction to draw the chocolate syrup in the inlet chamber 2100 into the guide chamber of the guide component 1200 through the first one-way valve 1300. Then, the pumping component 1100 generates pump thrust to discharge the chocolate syrup in the guide component 1200 through the outlet chamber 2200, the second one-way valve 3500, the pouring chamber, and the pouring port 3221, thus realizing the pouring of the chocolate syrup.

[0052] Furthermore, both the first one-way valve 1300 and the second one-way valve 3500 can provide unidirectional flow. The first one-way valve 1300 allows the chocolate syrup to flow unidirectionally from the inlet chamber 2100 into the guide component 1200, largely preventing the chocolate syrup entering the guide component 1200 from flowing back into the inlet chamber 2100. The second one-way valve 3500 allows the chocolate syrup to flow unidirectionally into the pouring chamber and the pouring port 3221, also largely preventing the chocolate syrup from flowing back into the outlet chamber 2200 and the guide component 1200. In this way, the metered pouring of the chocolate syrup can be relatively well guaranteed.

[0053] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the distribution unit 2000 may include at least two installation sections 2000A, each of which may be provided with an inlet chamber 2100 and an outlet chamber 2200. Thus, each installation section 2000A can correspondingly install one suction unit 1000 and one pouring unit 3000. In other words, the distribution unit 2000 can simultaneously install at least two suction units 1000 and at least two pouring units 3000 to improve the pouring efficiency of the chocolate syrup.

[0054] For each installation section 2000A, its respective liquid inlet chamber 2100 can be interconnected to share the same liquid inlet channel, thereby simplifying the connection structure between the distribution unit 2000 and the external slurry delivery pipe, and also reducing the number of external slurry delivery pipes used. Of course, the liquid inlet chambers 2100 of each installation section 2000A can also be isolated from each other, in which case each liquid inlet chamber 2100 can be independent.

[0055] For each installation section 2000A, its respective liquid outlet chamber 2200 can be independent of each other, that is, isolated from each other. In this way, interference between them can be effectively avoided, which would affect the control of the amount of chocolate liquid injected.

[0056] It should be understood that the above description regarding the distribution unit 2000 including at least two installation sections 2000A is mainly based on... Figures 1-3 The illustration provided is an exemplary description and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the irrigation device provided in this embodiment of the present invention. In some other implementations of this embodiment of the present invention, the distribution unit 2000 may also consist of only one installation section 2000A, which is also feasible.

[0057] In addition, the aforementioned installation section 2000A may also be provided with a first mounting hole 2300, which may specifically be a threaded hole. During actual installation, connecting components such as screws or bolts may also be configured. The connecting components can pass through the first mounting hole 2300 and can be connected and fixed to the flow guiding component 1200, thereby enabling the flow guiding component 1200 to be installed and fixed in the distribution unit 2000.

[0058] In some implementations, such as Figure 4 As shown, and in combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 The flow guiding component 1200 may include a flow guiding main body 1210 and a flow guiding distribution part 1220.

[0059] The main body 1210 may be provided with a first guide cavity 1211 and a second guide cavity 1212. Both the first guide cavity 1211 and the second guide cavity 1212 may be through hole structures extending along the axial direction of the main body 1210. The first guide cavity 1211 and the second guide cavity 1212 are not directly connected.

[0060] The flow distribution section 1220 may be provided with a flow guide groove 1221A. The flow distribution section 1220 may be installed on the flow guide body section 1210, so that the flow guide groove 1221A can connect the first flow guide cavity section 1211 and the second flow guide cavity section 1212. The end of the first flow guide cavity section 1211 opposite to the flow distribution section 1220 may form the aforementioned flow guide inlet 1211A1, and the end of the second flow guide cavity section 1212 opposite to the flow distribution section 1220 may form the aforementioned flow guide outlet 1212A. In this way, by providing the flow distribution section 1220, a flow guide cavity that can be connected can be formed in the flow guide component 1200. The flow guide cavity may include the first flow guide cavity section 1211, the flow guide groove 1221A, and the second flow guide cavity section 1212. Under the suction force of the pumping component 1100, the chocolate syrup can first enter the first guide cavity 1211 through the guide inlet 1211A1, then enter the guide channel 1221A from the first guide cavity 1211, then enter the second guide cavity 1212 from the guide channel 1221A, and finally be discharged from the guide component 1200 through the guide outlet 1212A.

[0061] Detailed explanation, such as Figures 6-8As shown, one end of the flow guiding main body 1210 may be provided with a mounting groove 1213; the flow guiding distribution part 1220 may include a wide neck 1221 and a narrow neck 1222. The narrow neck 1222 can be inserted into the first flow guiding cavity 1211, and the wide neck 1221 can be inserted into the mounting groove 1213, thereby realizing the positioning and assembly between the flow guiding distribution part 1220 and the flow guiding main body 1210. The flow guiding distribution part 1220 may also be provided with a flow passage 1223 penetrating the wide neck 1221 and the narrow neck 1222, and the flow guiding groove 1221A may specifically be provided in the wide neck 1221. The first flow guiding cavity 1211, the flow passage 1223, the flow guiding groove 1221A, and the second flow guiding cavity 1212 may be connected. The flow guiding cavity of the flow guiding component 1200 may include a first flow guiding cavity portion 1211, a flow passage 1223, a flow guiding groove 1221A, and a second flow guiding cavity portion 1212.

[0062] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the thick neck 1221 may also be provided with a positioning protrusion 1221B, and the flow guiding body 1210 may also be provided with a positioning recess 1214. The positioning protrusion 1221B can be inserted into the positioning recess 1214. The positioning protrusion 1221B and the thin neck 1222 cooperate to limit the circumferential installation position of the flow guiding distribution part 1220 relative to the flow guiding body 1210, which simplifies the docking and assembly process of the flow guiding body 1210 and the flow guiding distribution part 1220, and can easily ensure that the flow guiding groove 1221A and the second flow guiding cavity 1212 are connected.

[0063] The main body 1210 can also be provided with a first connecting plate 1215, which can be connected to the aforementioned pump end connecting plate 1112. Then, the first connecting plate 1215 and the pump end connecting plate 1112 can be connected using bolts, quick-release chucks, or other connecting components, thereby achieving the connection and fixation of the main body 1210 and the pump body 1110. With this connection method, separation between the main body 1210 and the pump body 1110 is relatively easy, and the pumping component 1100 and the guiding component 1200 can be easily disassembled, thus facilitating the cleaning of the pumping component 1100 and the guiding component 1200.

[0064] Combination Figure 7 The main body 1210 may also be provided with a second mounting hole 1216, which is used to cooperate with the aforementioned first mounting hole 2300 so as to realize the installation and fixation of the main body 1210 in the distribution unit 2000.

[0065] It should be noted that a sealing component, such as a sealing ring, can also be provided between the first connecting plate 1215 and the pump end connecting plate 1112 to ensure the sealing between the two and effectively prevent the leakage of chocolate liquid.

[0066] The first one-way valve 1300 may be disposed in the first flow guide cavity 1211. In specific operation, the pumping component 1100 may generate pump suction force on the first flow guide cavity 1211 through the flow passage 1223 to drive the first one-way valve 1300 to open, thereby introducing chocolate syrup into the first flow guide cavity 1211.

[0067] Here, the present invention does not limit the specific structural form of the first one-way valve 1300. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can choose according to specific needs, as long as it can meet the requirements of use.

[0068] In a specific example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first one-way valve 1300 may include a first elastic component 1310 and a first valve core 1320. The first elastic component 1310 may be an elastic element with a certain elastic deformation and elastic recovery capability, such as a spring. One end of the first elastic component 1310 may abut against the flow distribution portion 1220, and the other end of the first elastic component 1310 may abut against the first valve core 1320. The first valve core 1320 may be a spherical object, such as a steel ball or a sphere made of other materials.

[0069] Combination Figure 9 The first flow guiding cavity 1211 may include a first large-diameter cavity section 1211A, a first small-diameter cavity section 1211B, and a first variable-diameter cavity section 1211C. The first variable-diameter cavity section 1211C connects the first large-diameter cavity section 1211A and the first small-diameter cavity section 1211B. The flow area of ​​the first variable-diameter cavity section 1211C may be variable, for example, gradually changing, in order to adapt to the change in flow area between the first large-diameter cavity section 1211A and the first small-diameter cavity section 1211B.

[0070] When no external force is applied, the first elastic member 1310 can drive the first valve core 1320 to abut against the inner wall of the first variable diameter cavity section 1211C to close the first guide cavity 1211. When the pumping member 1100 is started and generates pump suction, a negative pressure can exist in the first guide cavity 1211, and the first valve core 1320 can be displaced in the first guide cavity 1211, so that the first guide cavity 1211 can be in a conductive state, allowing the chocolate liquid in the liquid inlet cavity 2100 to smoothly enter the first guide cavity 1211.

[0071] It should be understood that the above description of the specific structural form of the flow guiding component 1200 is mainly an exemplary description made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of implementation of the irrigation device provided in this utility model embodiment. For example, the flow distribution section 1220 may only include the wide neck 1221, without including the narrow neck 1222. Alternatively, the flow guiding component 1200 may not include the flow distribution section 1220. In this case, the mounting groove 1213 can serve as a connecting groove for connecting the first flow guiding cavity 1211 and the second flow guiding cavity 1212, and the first elastic component 1310 of the first one-way valve 1300 may directly abut against the pump body 1110.

[0072] In some implementations, the sprinkling unit 3000 may include a first connecting member 3100 and a sprinkling cap 3200.

[0073] A first connecting cavity 3110 is formed within the first connecting member 3100, and the pouring cavity may include the first connecting cavity 3110. A pouring cap 3200 may be installed on the first connecting member 3100, and the pouring cap 3200 may be provided with a pouring port 3221. The first connecting cavity 3110 can communicate with the pouring port 3221 so that chocolate liquid can be poured through the pouring port 3221.

[0074] like Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the pouring cap 3200 may include a cap body 3210. The cap body 3210 may include a bottom cap 3211 and a ring cap 3212, with the ring cap 3212 located on the normal side of the bottom cap 3211. The bottom cap 3211 and the ring cap 3212 may be an integrally formed structure. Alternatively, the bottom cap 3211 and the ring cap 3212 may be manufactured separately and then assembled by welding or other connection methods, which is also feasible.

[0075] The ring cap 3212 may have internal threads, and the first connecting component 3100 may have external threads. The ring cap 3212 and the first connecting component 3100 may be threaded together to achieve the connection and assembly between the sprinkling cap 3200 and the first connecting component 3100. A sealing component such as a sealing ring may also be provided between the cap body 3210 and the first connecting component 3100 to ensure the sealing performance between them.

[0076] It can be seen that, in addition to the above-mentioned threaded connection, the sprinkling cover 3200 and the first connecting part 3100 can also be connected by other connection methods such as snap-fit ​​or screw connection, as long as the requirements of use can be met.

[0077] The irrigation cover 3200 may further include an irrigation pipe 3220. The irrigation pipe 3220 may be located on the side of the bottom cover 3211 away from the ring cover 3212, and the end of the irrigation pipe 3220 away from the bottom cover 3211 may form an irrigation port 3221. The number and arrangement of the irrigation pipes 3220 are not limited here. Figure 12 In one implementation, the number of irrigation pipes 3220 can be 7. The 7 irrigation pipes 3220 can be arranged at equal intervals around the circumference. In some other implementations of this utility model, the number of irrigation pipes 3220 can also be set to other numbers and arranged according to other trajectory lines, as long as the requirements of use can be met.

[0078] In some implementations, the sprinkling unit 3000 may also include a second connecting member 3300 and a third connecting member 3400.

[0079] The second connecting component 3300 can be connected to the dispensing unit 2000. Specific connection methods include, for example, threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection, and screw connection. Taking a threaded connection as an example, the second connecting component 3300 can be provided with external threads, and the aforementioned liquid outlet chamber 2200 can be at least partially configured as a threaded hole to facilitate connection with the second connecting component 3300. Figure 10 and Figure 14 As shown, a second connecting cavity 3310 is formed in the second connecting member 3300. The sprinkling cavity may also include the second connecting cavity 3310. The second connecting cavity 3310 may be connected to the liquid outlet cavity 2200 so as to receive the chocolate liquid discharged from the liquid outlet cavity 2200.

[0080] One end of the third connecting component 3400 can be connected to the second connecting component 3300. Specific connection methods include, for example, threaded connection, snap-fit, etc. As shown in the attached diagram, [the following is an example of the implementation]. Figure 10As shown, the second connecting component 3300 can be provided with a second connecting plate 3320, and the third connecting component 3400 can be provided with a third connecting plate 3420. The second connecting plate 3320 and the third connecting plate 3420 can be mated together and then connected using connecting components such as screws or quick-release chucks, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the second connecting component 3300 and the third connecting component 3400. With this connection method, separation between the second connecting component 3300 and the third connecting component 3400 is relatively easy, and they can be conveniently disassembled for easy cleaning. It should be noted that a sealing component such as a sealing ring can also be provided between the second connecting plate 3320 and the third connecting plate 3420 to ensure a tight seal and effectively prevent leakage of the chocolate syrup.

[0081] like Figure 15 As shown, a third connecting cavity 3410 is formed within the third connecting member 3400, and the pouring cavity may also include the third connecting cavity 3410. The third connecting cavity 3410 can communicate with the second connecting cavity 3310, and the chocolate liquid in the second connecting cavity 3310 can flow into the third connecting cavity 3410.

[0082] The third connecting component 3400 can also be connected to the first connecting component 3100, and the specific connection method can be, for example, threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection, screw connection, etc. The third connecting cavity 3410 can also communicate with the first connecting cavity 3110.

[0083] Combination Figure 11 The first connecting cavity 3110 may include a gradually expanding cavity section 3111, which is gradually expanded in the direction close to the pouring cap 3200. In this way, when the chocolate syrup flows in the gradually expanding cavity section 3111, the pressure can gradually decrease and the flow speed can be relatively gentle, which is more conducive to ensuring that the chocolate syrup can be poured relatively evenly through each pouring pipe 3220, thereby improving the uniformity of the distribution of chocolate syrup on the surface of frozen dessert products such as cone ice cream.

[0084] The first connecting cavity 3110 may further include a connecting cavity section 3112 and a transition cavity section 3113. The connecting cavity section 3112 is used to connect with the third connecting component 3400; taking a threaded connection as an example, the inner wall surface of the connecting cavity section 3112 may be provided with an internal thread, and the third connecting component 3400 may be provided with an external thread, so as to realize the connection and assembly of the third connecting component 3400 and the first connecting component 3100. The transition cavity section 3113 is used to connect the connecting cavity section 3112 and the gradually expanding cavity section 3111.

[0085] The first connecting member 3100 may also have a stepped surface 3120 formed between the connecting cavity section 3112 and the transition cavity section 3113. The stepped surface 3120 can act as a stop for the third connecting member 3400 to limit the depth of the third connecting member 3400 inserted into the first connecting member 3100. In specific implementations, a sealing component such as a sealing ring may also be provided between the stepped surface 3120 and the third connecting member 3400 to ensure the sealing performance between the first connecting member 3100 and the third connecting member 3400, thereby reducing the leakage of chocolate syrup.

[0086] It is understood that in some other implementations of this utility model, the first connecting cavity 3110 may only be provided with the gradually expanding cavity section 3111 and the connecting cavity section 3112, that is, the transition cavity section 3113 may not be included, which is also feasible.

[0087] The second one-way valve 3500 can be located at least in the third connecting chamber 3410. In actual operation, the pumping component 1100 can generate pump thrust, which can drive the chocolate syrup from the second guide chamber 1212 into the second connecting chamber 3310 and the third connecting chamber 3410. The second one-way valve 3500 can be opened, and the chocolate syrup can be introduced into the first connecting chamber 3110 and discharged through the pouring port 3221.

[0088] Here, the present invention does not limit the specific structural form of the second one-way valve 3500. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can choose according to specific needs, as long as it can meet the requirements of use.

[0089] In a specific example, such as Figure 10 As shown, the second one-way valve 3500 may include a second elastic component 3510 and a second valve core 3520. The second elastic component 3510 may specifically be an elastic element with a certain elastic deformation and elastic recovery capability, such as a spring. One end of the second elastic component 3510 may abut against the first connecting component 3100, specifically against the aforementioned stepped surface 3120, while the other end of the second elastic component 3510 may abut against the second valve core 3520. The second valve core 3520 may specifically be a spherical object, such as a steel ball or a sphere made of other materials.

[0090] Combination Figure 15The third connecting cavity 3410 may include a second large-diameter cavity segment 3413, a second small-diameter cavity segment 3411, and a second variable-diameter cavity segment 3412. The second variable-diameter cavity segment 3412 connects the second large-diameter cavity segment 3413 and the second small-diameter cavity segment 3411. The flow area of ​​the second variable-diameter cavity segment 3412 may be variable, for example, gradually changing, in order to adapt to the change in flow area between the second large-diameter cavity segment 3413 and the second small-diameter cavity segment 3411.

[0091] When no external force is applied, the second elastic member 3510 can drive the second valve core 3520 and the inner wall of the second variable diameter cavity 3412 to abut against each other, thereby closing the third connecting cavity 3410. When the pumping member 1100 is started and generates pump thrust, the chocolate syrup can push the second valve core 3520 to move, and the third connecting cavity 3410 can be in a conductive state, so that the chocolate syrup in the liquid outlet cavity 2200 can smoothly enter the third connecting cavity 3410 and the first connecting cavity 3110 for discharge.

[0092] In the above description of the specific structure of the infusion unit 3000, the first connecting component 3100 is indirectly connected to the distribution unit 2000 through the second connecting component 3300 and the third connecting component 3400, and the second one-way valve 3500 is disposed between the second connecting component 3300 and the third connecting component 3400. In fact, in some other implementations of this utility model, the second connecting component 3300 and the third connecting component 3400 may not be present. In this case, the infusion unit 3000 may be directly connected to the distribution unit 2000 through the first connecting component 3100, and the second one-way valve 3500 may be directly disposed in the first connecting component 3100, which is also feasible.

[0093] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
