Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to automation technology and equipment, specifically an automatic ice cream vending machine. Background Technology

[0002] Conventional automated ice cream retail equipment either extrudes or directly sells boxed ice cream using a soft-serve ice cream machine.

[0003] Soft ice cream makers cannot maintain ice cream size for extended periods and offer limited flavor options;

[0004] Boxed ice cream sold directly cannot be customized with dry or wet toppings according to customer needs.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an automatic ice cream vending machine. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic ice cream vending machine.

[0007] The technical solution is as follows:

[0008] An automatic ice cream vending machine includes an ordering module mounted on a frame and connected to a control center. An ice cream preparation robot, driven and controlled by the control center, is installed within the frame. Corresponding to the ice cream preparation robot are an ice cream bowl storage and dispensing module, an integrated ice cream storage and extrusion module, and an integrated dry and wet material storage and feeding module.

[0009] The integrated dry and wet material storage and supply module includes a dry material outlet and a wet material outlet, which are respectively connected to the dry material storage bin and the wet material storage bin.

[0010] Furthermore, the ordering module serves as the execution information input unit, driving the ice cream preparation robot through the control center to create an input information-based ice cream flavor record.

[0011] Furthermore, the ice cream preparation robot, in conjunction with the information-based ice cream flavor recorder, receives ice cream from the ice cream bowl, receives ice cream from the outlet of the corresponding integrated ice cream storage and extrusion module, and receives dry and wet materials from the corresponding dry and wet material outlets, forming an automated ice cream preparation structure triggered by order information.

[0012] Furthermore, the ice cream preparation robot consists of a multi-axis manipulator with an ice cream bowl gripper at one end.

[0013] Furthermore, the ordering module includes an ordering screen, a payment scanning camera, and a receipt dispenser.

[0014] Furthermore, the equipment frame is equipped with several food dispensing ports for use with the ice cream preparation robot.

[0015] Furthermore, maintenance doors are also installed on the equipment frame.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model uses an order module as the execution information input unit, and drives the ice cream preparation robot through the control center. The ice cream preparation robot, in conjunction with the input information ice cream flavor recorder, receives ice cream from the ice cream bowl, receives ice cream from the outlet of the corresponding integrated ice cream storage and extrusion module, and receives dry and wet ingredients from the dry and wet ingredient outlets. This forms an automatic ice cream preparation triggered by the order information, which is then placed at the serving outlet. It can operate autonomously without human intervention, and humans only need to replenish the stock periodically and perform routine cleaning during replenishment. The equipment interior supports water rinsing. The ice cream's texture is better after extrusion, and the added dry and wet ingredients enhance the diversity of ice cream flavors.

[0019] Example:

[0020] Please see Figure 1 , 2 This embodiment demonstrates an automatic ice cream vending machine, including an ordering module mounted on a device frame 4, which is connected to a control center 7. An ice cream preparation robot 8, driven and controlled by the control center, is mounted inside the device frame. Corresponding to the ice cream preparation robot 8, there is an ice cream bowl storage and dispensing module, an integrated ice cream storage and extrusion module 10, and an integrated dry and wet material storage and feeding module 9.

[0021] The integrated dry and wet material storage and supply module 9 includes a dry material outlet and a wet material outlet, which are respectively connected to the dry material storage bin and the wet material storage bin.

[0022] The ordering module is used as the execution information input unit. It controls the ice cream preparation robot 8 through the control center to form an input information ice cream flavor record.

[0023] The ice cream preparation robot 8, in conjunction with the information-based ice cream flavor recorder, receives ice cream from the ice cream bowl, receives ice cream from the outlet of the corresponding integrated ice cream storage and extrusion module 10, and receives dry and wet materials from the corresponding dry material outlet and wet material outlet, forming an automatic ice cream preparation structure triggered by order information.

[0024] The ice cream making robot 10 consists of a multi-axis manipulator with an ice cream bowl gripper at one end.

[0025] The ordering module includes an ordering screen 1, a payment scanning camera 2, and a receipt exit 3.

[0026] The equipment frame 4 is equipped with several food dispensing ports 5 for use with the ice cream preparation robot.

[0027] The equipment frame 4 is also equipped with an inspection door 6.

[0028] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model uses an order module as the execution information input unit, and drives the ice cream preparation robot through the control center. The ice cream preparation robot, in conjunction with the input information ice cream flavor recorder, receives ice cream from the ice cream bowl, receives ice cream from the outlet of the corresponding integrated ice cream storage and extrusion module, and receives dry and wet ingredients from the dry and wet ingredient outlets. This forms an automatic ice cream preparation triggered by the order information, which is then placed at the serving outlet. It can operate autonomously without human intervention, and humans only need to replenish the stock periodically and perform routine cleaning during replenishment. The equipment interior supports water rinsing. The ice cream's texture is better after extrusion, and the added dry and wet ingredients enhance the diversity of ice cream flavors.

[0029] For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
