Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a multi-station filling control mechanism for an ice cream machine. Background Technology
[0002] An ice cream machine is a device specifically designed for making ice cream and occupies an important position in the food processing industry. Its core components include a refrigeration system, a stirring device, and a control system. The refrigeration system uses components such as a compressor and a condenser to cool the ice cream ingredients to a suitable temperature, achieving rapid freezing. The stirring device continuously agitates the ingredients, incorporating air to make the ice cream fluffy and creamy.
[0003] Based on their production principles and applicable scenarios, ice cream machines are divided into small countertop machines and large commercial machines. Countertop machines are suitable for home or small shops, are easy to operate, and can quickly produce personalized flavors. Commercial machines have a large output and can produce multiple flavors at the same time, as well as efficient cooling, meeting the high demands of restaurants and cold drink shops.
[0004] Existing ice cream machine dispensing systems mostly adopt a multi-station design. The operator pulls the control lever downward to allow the dispensing equipment to dispense ice cream. The operator then uses the cone to catch the ice cream at the bottom of the dispensing equipment with their other hand. After catching the appropriate amount of ice cream, the operator pushes the control lever back to its original position to turn off the dispensing equipment. However, by manually pulling the control lever, the operator relies on their own feeling to control the amount of dispensing. The amount of dispensing is not the same for each batch of ice cream, making it difficult to accurately control the amount of dispensing.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a multi-station filling control mechanism for ice cream machines to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] This invention provides a multi-station dispensing control mechanism for an ice cream machine, which solves the problem that manual operation relies on pulling a control lever to control the amount of dispensing, resulting in inconsistent dispensing amounts for each ice cream and making it difficult to accurately control the amount of dispensing.

[0012] Preferably, a digital display is fixedly installed on the other side of the top front of the ice cream cabinet.
[0013] Preferably, three fixing plates are fixedly installed on the surface of the ice cream cabinet. A movable arc groove is opened on one side of the surface of the fixing plate, and a driving component is fixedly installed in the middle of one side of the fixing plate.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] First Embodiment
[0027] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a first embodiment of a multi-station dispensing control mechanism for an ice cream machine provided by this utility model; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The enlarged schematic diagram at point A is shown. A multi-station dispensing control mechanism for an ice cream machine includes: an ice cream machine cabinet 1;
[0028] The filling device 2 is fixedly installed in the middle of the front of the ice cream cabinet 1. The top three sides of the filling device 2 are provided with control rods 4, and a groove 8 is opened on one side of the outer surface of the control rod 4.
[0029] The fixing plate 3 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top front of the ice cream cabinet 1. The surface of the fixing plate 3 is provided with three control components 7, including a lifting component 71, a moving rod 72, a rotating shaft 73, and a movable block 74.
[0030] The lifting member 71 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the fixed plate 3, the moving rod 72 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the output shaft of the lifting member 71, the rotating shaft 73 is rotatably installed on one side of the outer surface of the moving rod 72, and the movable block 74 is disposed on one side of the rotating shaft 73.
[0031] A controller 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the top front of the ice cream cabinet 1.
[0032] A digital display 6 is fixedly installed on the other side of the top front of the ice cream cabinet 1.
[0033] The controller 5 can input numerical values to control the length of movement of the output shaft of the lifting component 71 and the retraction interval, which is existing technology.
[0034] The digital display 6 shows the temperature and other effects inside the ice cream cabinet 1, which is existing technology.
[0035] The lifting component 71 is a hydraulic cylinder structure.
[0036] The filling device 2 has three discharge holes inside, and the bottom of the discharge holes is connected to the outer surface of the bottom of the filling device 2. Inside, there is a sliding blocking rod that slides up and down. The blocking rod is controlled by a control lever 4. When the top of the control lever 4 flips down, the bottom of the control lever 4 pulls the blocking rod upward inside the filling device 2, allowing ice cream to be discharged from the discharge hole. When the top of the control lever 4 flips up, the bottom of the control lever 4 squeezes the blocking rod downward, blocking the discharge hole and stopping the filling. This is the existing technology of ice cream machines.
[0037] The working principle of the multi-station filling control mechanism for an ice cream machine provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0038] During operation, the output shaft of the lifting component 71 moves downward, pushing the moving rod 72 downward. The moving rod 72 drives the rotating shaft 73 to move, and the rotating shaft 73 pulls the movable block 74 downward inside the slide groove 8. The movable block 74 pushes the end of the control rod 4 to flip downward, and the bottom end of the control rod 4 rotates on the surface of the injection device 2. The bottom end of the control rod 4 pulls the blocking rod inside the injection device 2 upward, so that the material is discharged from the bottom discharge hole of the injection device 2.
[0039] When the discharge ends, the output shaft of the lifting component 71 pulls the moving rod 72 upward. The moving rod 72 drives the rotating shaft 73 and the movable block 74 to move upward. The movable block 74 slides inside the chute 8 and pulls the top of the control rod 4 to flip upward, so that the blocking rod inside the injection device 2 moves downward in the discharge hole and blocks the discharge of the discharge hole.
[0040] Compared with related technologies, the multi-station dispensing control mechanism for an ice cream machine provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0041] This utility model provides a multi-station filling control mechanism for an ice cream machine.

The drive gear 15 rotates and meshes with the tooth block 14 on the outer surface, causing the rotating ring block 12 to rotate. The rotating ring block 12 drives the rotating rod 10 to rotate. The rotating rod 10 slides inside the moving arc groove 12 and drives the control lever 4 to flip on the surface of the injection device 2.
[0051] The output shaft of the drive component 11 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the control lever 4 to flip back on the surface of the injection device 2.
