Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ice cream making machines, specifically to a water suction device for an ice cream making machine. Background Technology
[0002] An ice cream making machine is an advanced piece of equipment specifically designed for making ice cream. Its production process involves several key steps, including raw material mixing, mixing and conveying, freezing and stirring, and forming and extrusion. Through the synergistic action of multiple components, the raw materials are ultimately transformed into a smooth-textured and uniquely flavored ice cream product. To ensure the machine's hygiene and extend its service life, staff usually need to clean the ice cream making machine regularly during use.
[0003] After cleaning, existing ice cream making machines still have some water stains inside the raw material tank. Generally, cleaning personnel need to wipe them manually. However, manual wiping is not only inefficient but also difficult to clean thoroughly. If the water stains are not wiped clean and the machine is sealed directly, bacteria can easily grow. Therefore, a water suction device for ice cream making machines is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that residual water stains inside the raw material tank of existing ice cream making machines need to be manually wiped after cleaning. This invention provides a water suction device for ice cream making machines.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A water-absorbing device for an ice cream making machine includes an ice cream machine body. The top of the ice cream machine body has two material troughs for loading raw materials. Above the ice cream machine body are two electrically operated telescopic rods. Each electric telescopic rod has a detachably connected crossbar at its output end. Arc-shaped plates are fixedly installed at both ends of each crossbar. A sponge is fixedly installed on the side of each arc-shaped plate away from the adjacent crossbar. An elliptical ring is fixedly connected to the two adjacent arc-shaped plates below each crossbar. A sponge ring is fixedly installed at the bottom of each elliptical ring. The top of the ice cream machine body has two L-shaped frames fixedly installed. Each L-shaped frame has a transmission component for driving the adjacent electric telescopic rods to move linearly back and forth. The top of the ice cream machine body also has a squeezing component for squeezing water from the sponge and sponge rings. Finally, the top of the ice cream machine body has a guide component for guiding and collecting wastewater.
[0007] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a strip groove, with a strip groove opened at the bottom of the horizontal end of each L-shaped frame, a servo motor fixedly installed at the vertical end of each L-shaped frame, the output end of each servo motor extending into the interior of the adjacent strip groove, a lead screw fixedly connected to the output end of each servo motor, a moving block threadedly connected to each lead screw, and two electric telescopic rods fixedly connected to the adjacent moving blocks respectively.
[0008] Furthermore, the extrusion assembly includes a hydraulic rod, which is fixedly installed on the top of the ice cream machine body. A square rod one is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic rod, and a square rod two is fixedly connected to one end of the square rod one. C-shaped frames are fixedly connected to both ends of the square rod two. A connecting block is fixedly installed on the side wall of the vertical end of each L-shaped frame, and an extrusion ring is fixedly installed on the side wall of each connecting block.
[0009] Furthermore, the flow guiding component includes a flow guiding channel, with an L-shaped flow guiding channel provided on the top of the ice cream machine body, and a removable wastewater box provided on the side wall of the ice cream machine body.
[0010] Furthermore, the flow guiding assembly also includes trapezoidal grooves. Each L-shaped frame has a trapezoidal groove on its vertical end sidewall. A trapezoidal block is movably installed inside each trapezoidal groove. Each trapezoidal block is fixedly connected to the adjacent flow guiding groove. Magnetic blocks are fixedly installed on the top of the ice cream machine body and the bottom of the flow guiding groove. The two magnetic blocks attract each other. A convex groove is provided on the sidewall of the ice cream machine body. A convex block is movably installed inside each convex groove. The convex block is fixedly connected to the wastewater box.
[0011] Furthermore, each of the electric telescopic rods has a threaded groove at its output end, and a threaded rod is threadedly connected inside each threaded groove. The bottom end of each threaded rod is fixedly connected to the adjacent crossbar below.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] In this invention, when cleaning the ice cream machine body, first, clean water is injected into the two ingredient tanks. Then, the cleaning mode of the ice cream machine body is activated. The water inside the ice cream machine body is discharged, carrying away any remaining ingredients from the ingredient tanks. After the ingredient tanks are cleaned, some water residue remains. At this point, two sets of transmission components are activated, causing each set to drive its corresponding electric telescopic rod to move towards the front of the ice cream machine body. Each electric telescopic rod's movement simultaneously moves its connected crossbar, and each crossbar's movement simultaneously moves its two connected arc-shaped plates, and each arc-shaped plate's movement simultaneously moves its connected elliptical ring. When the two elliptical rings reach their closest position to the front of the ice cream machine body, each electric telescopic rod... Each rod drives the corresponding horizontal bar, curved plate, and elliptical ring downwards. At this time, each sponge and sponge ring absorbs the water stains inside the corresponding raw material tank. Then, the two sets of transmission components drive the corresponding electric telescopic rods to move towards the rear of the ice cream machine body. At this time, each sponge and sponge ring absorbs the water stains inside the corresponding raw material tank. When the two elliptical rings move to the position closest to the rear of the ice cream machine body, each electric telescopic rod drives the corresponding horizontal bar, curved plate, and elliptical ring upwards. At this time, each sponge and sponge ring absorbs the water stains inside the corresponding raw material tank. After the water stains inside the raw material tank are absorbed, the two sets of transmission components drive the corresponding electric telescopic rods back to the initial position. Then, the squeezing component squeezes out the water absorbed by the sponges and sponge rings, and the guide component diverts and collects the water. Attached Figure Description

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a water suction device for an ice cream making machine includes an ice cream machine body 1. Two material troughs 2 for loading materials are provided on the top of the ice cream machine body 1. Two electric telescopic rods 3 are provided above the ice cream machine body 1. Each electric telescopic rod 3 has a detachably connected crossbar 4 at its output end. Arc-shaped plates 5 are fixedly installed at both ends of each crossbar 4. A sponge 6 is fixedly installed on the side of each arc-shaped plate 5 away from the adjacent crossbar 4. An elliptical ring 7 is fixedly connected to two adjacent arc-shaped plates 5 below each crossbar 4. A sponge ring 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of each elliptical ring 7. Two L-shaped frames 9 are fixedly installed on the top of the ice cream machine body 1. Each L-shaped frame 9 is equipped with a transmission assembly 10 for driving the adjacent electric telescopic rod 3 to move linearly back and forth. The top of the ice cream machine body 1 is equipped with a squeezing assembly 11 for squeezing the water inside the sponge 6 and sponge ring 8. The top of the ice cream machine body 1 is also equipped with a guide assembly 12 for guiding and collecting wastewater. It should be noted that when cleaning the ice cream machine body 1, first, clean water is injected into the two ingredient tanks 2, and then the cleaning mode of the ice cream machine body 1 is activated. The clean water inside the ice cream machine body 1 is discharged, carrying away the residual ingredients in the ingredient tanks 2. After the inside of the ingredient tanks 2 is cleaned, some water stains will remain inside. At this time, the two sets of transmission assemblies 10 are activated. This causes the two sets of transmission components 10 to drive the corresponding electric telescopic rods 3 to move towards the front of the ice cream machine body 1. Each electric telescopic rod 3, while moving, simultaneously drives the horizontal bar 4 connected to it to move synchronously. Each horizontal bar 4, while moving, simultaneously drives the two arc-shaped plates 5 connected to it to move synchronously. Each arc-shaped plate 5, while moving, simultaneously drives the elliptical ring 7 connected to it to move synchronously. When the two elliptical rings 7 move to the position closest to the front of the ice cream machine body 1, each electric telescopic rod 3 drives the corresponding horizontal bar 4, arc-shaped plate 5, and elliptical ring 7 to move downwards. At this time, each sponge 6 and sponge ring 8 absorbs the water stains inside the corresponding raw material tank 2. Then, the two sets of transmission components 10 respectively drive the... The electric telescopic rod 3 moves towards the rear of the ice cream machine body 1. At this time, each sponge 6 and sponge ring 8 absorbs the water stains inside the corresponding raw material tank 2. When the two elliptical rings 7 move to the position closest to the rear of the ice cream machine body 1, each electric telescopic rod 3 drives the corresponding crossbar 4, arc plate 5, and elliptical ring 7 to move upward. At this time, each sponge 6 and sponge ring 8 absorbs the water stains inside the corresponding raw material tank 2. After the water stains inside the raw material tank 2 are absorbed, the two sets of transmission components 10 drive the corresponding electric telescopic rod 3 to return to the initial position. Then, the squeezing component 11 is used to squeeze out the water absorbed by the sponge 6 and sponge ring 8, and the water is diverted and collected by the flow guiding component 12.
[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5As shown, the transmission assembly 10 includes a strip groove 1001. Each L-shaped frame 9 has a strip groove 1001 at its horizontal bottom. Each L-shaped frame 9 has a servo motor 1002 fixedly installed at its vertical end. The output end of each servo motor 1002 extends into the interior of the adjacent strip groove 1001. Each servo motor 1002 has a lead screw 1003 fixedly connected to its output end. Each lead screw 1003 has a moving block 1004 threadedly connected to it. Two electric telescopic rods 3 are fixedly connected to the adjacent moving blocks 1004 respectively. It should be noted that after the servo motor 1002 is started, it can drive the lead screw 1003 to reciprocate. The reciprocating rotation of the lead screw 1003 can cause the moving block 1004 to move linearly back and forth. The movement of the moving block 1004 can drive the electric telescopic rod 3 to move synchronously.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the extrusion assembly 11 includes a hydraulic rod 1101. The hydraulic rod 1101 is fixedly installed on the top of the ice cream machine body 1. A square rod 1102 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic rod 1101. A square rod 2 1103 is fixedly connected to one end of the square rod 1102. C-shaped frames 1104 are fixedly connected to both ends of the square rod 2 1103. A connecting block 1105 is fixedly installed on the vertical side wall of each L-shaped frame 9. An extrusion ring 1106 is fixedly installed on the side wall of each connecting block 1105. It should be noted that the control hydraulic rod 1101 drives the square rod 1102, the square rod 2 1103 and the two C-shaped frames 1104 to move up and down. When the two C-shaped frames 1104 move up and down, they can squeeze the corresponding two sponges 6, so that the water absorbed by each sponge 6 is squeezed out. At the same time, each electric telescopic rod 3 can drive the corresponding crossbar 4, arc plate 5 and elliptical ring 7 to move down, so that each sponge ring 8 is squeezed on the surface of the lower squeezing ring 1106, so that the water absorbed by each sponge ring 8 is squeezed out.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the flow guiding component 12 includes a flow guiding channel 1201. The top of the ice cream machine body 1 is provided with an L-shaped flow guiding channel 1201, and the side wall of the ice cream machine body 1 is provided with a detachable wastewater box 1202. It should be noted that the water squeezed out from inside the sponge 6 and sponge ring 8 will enter the interior of the flow guiding channel 1201. The flow guiding channel 1201 is mainly used to guide the water to the interior of the wastewater box 1202 so that the water is collected inside the wastewater box 1202.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the flow guiding assembly 12 also includes a trapezoidal groove 1203. A trapezoidal groove 1203 is formed on the vertical end sidewall of each L-shaped frame 9. A trapezoidal block 1204 is movably installed inside each trapezoidal groove 1203. Each trapezoidal block 1204 is fixedly connected to an adjacent flow guiding groove 1201. Magnetic blocks 1205 are fixedly installed on the top of the ice cream machine body 1 and the bottom of the flow guiding groove 1201. The two magnetic blocks 1205 attract each other. The sidewall of the ice cream machine body 1... The surface is provided with a convex groove 1206, and a convex block 1207 is movably installed inside each convex groove 1206. The convex block 1207 is fixedly connected to the wastewater box 1202. It should be noted that by pulling out the trapezoidal block 1204 from inside the trapezoidal groove 1203, the adjacent two magnetic blocks 1205 can be separated, and the guide channel 1201 can be disassembled and cleaned. By pulling out the convex block 1207 from inside the convex groove 1206, the wastewater box 1202 can be disassembled and cleaned.
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, each electric telescopic rod 3 has a threaded groove 13 at its output end, and a threaded rod 14 is threadedly connected inside each threaded groove 13. The bottom end of each threaded rod 14 is fixedly connected to the adjacent crossbar 4 below. It should be noted that by rotating the crossbar 4 to disengage the threaded rod 14 from the corresponding threaded groove 13, the crossbar 4 can be separated from the corresponding electric telescopic rod 3, which facilitates the cleaning of the sponge 6 and the sponge ring 8.
[0030] In summary:
[0031] When cleaning the ice cream machine body 1, first, clean water is injected into the two ingredient tanks 2. Then, the cleaning mode of the ice cream machine body 1 is activated. The clean water inside the ice cream machine body 1 is discharged, carrying away the residual ingredients in the ingredient tanks 2. After the inside of the ingredient tanks 2 is cleaned, some water stains remain inside. At this time, the two sets of transmission components 10 are activated, causing the two sets of transmission components 10 to drive the corresponding electric telescopic rods 3 to move towards the front of the ice cream machine body 1. Each electric telescopic rod 3 moves simultaneously with the horizontal bar 4 connected to it. Each horizontal bar 4 moves simultaneously with the two arc-shaped plates 5 connected to it. Each arc-shaped plate 5 moves simultaneously with the elliptical ring 7 connected to it. When the two elliptical rings 7 move to the position closest to the front of the ice cream machine body 1, each electric telescopic rod 3 drives the corresponding horizontal bar. 4. The arc-shaped plate 5 and the elliptical ring 7 move downwards. At this time, each sponge 6 and sponge ring 8 absorbs the water stains inside the corresponding raw material tank 2. Then, the two sets of transmission components 10 drive the corresponding electric telescopic rods 3 to move towards the rear of the ice cream machine body 1. At this time, each sponge 6 and sponge ring 8 absorbs the water stains inside the corresponding raw material tank 2. When the two elliptical rings 7 move to the position closest to the rear of the ice cream machine body 1, each electric telescopic rod 3 drives the corresponding crossbar 4, arc-shaped plate 5, and elliptical ring 7 to move upwards. At this time, each sponge 6 and sponge ring 8 absorbs the water stains inside the corresponding raw material tank 2. After the water stains inside the raw material tank 2 are absorbed, the two sets of transmission components 10 drive the corresponding electric telescopic rods 3 to return to the initial position.
