Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice cream processing technology, and in particular to a multi-layer spiral stirring ice cream forming device. Background Technology

[0002] Ice cream is a frozen food with expanded volume, made from drinking water, milk, milk powder, cream, sugar and other main ingredients, with the addition of appropriate food additives. It is produced through processes such as mixing, sterilization, homogenization, aging, freezing and hardening. It has a delicate and smooth texture, rich flavors, and is usually semi-solid in form, melting in the mouth. It is a popular cold drink among people of all ages. In the early days, ice cream relied on manual churning and freezing, which was inefficient, had low output, and was difficult to control in terms of texture and shape, making it unable to meet the growing market demand. Therefore, ice cream forming equipment has become a key tool for achieving product diversification.

[0003] A search revealed that the document with publication number "CN222057091U" mentions "This utility model discloses a stirring device for ice cream processing, belonging to the field of ice cream processing technology, including a stirring drum with an open upper end, and a stirring mechanism inside the stirring drum; the stirring mechanism includes a rotating shaft vertically arranged at the center of the stirring drum, and a cleaning mechanism is arranged on the rotating shaft; the cleaning mechanism includes a rotating frame fixed on the rotating shaft, and a placement groove is provided on the rotating frame. This utility model, by setting up a cleaning mechanism, enables a motor to drive the rotating frame to rotate, thereby driving the brush of the brush plate to clean the inner wall of the stirring drum." The cleaning process is highly efficient and requires no manual cleaning, saving manpower and time. After cleaning, the brush plate is returned to its original position, preventing it from touching the raw materials during mixing and ensuring their hygiene and safety. It is convenient and practical. During use, a cleaning mechanism is installed, causing a motor to drive a rotating frame, which in turn drives the brush plate to clean the inner wall of the mixing drum. This ensures high cleaning efficiency and eliminates the need for manual cleaning, saving manpower and time. After cleaning, the brush plate is returned to its original position, preventing it from touching the raw materials during mixing and ensuring their hygiene and safety.

[0004] However, the ice cream forming device before the improvement used a direct drive method, which easily caused impact and vibration during the mixing process, resulting in unstable mixing effect and poor uniformity of ice cream. At the same time, it lacked a power conversion and distribution mechanism, and the mixing direction and speed could not be flexibly adjusted, which could not meet the needs of various ice cream recipes and forming requirements. The mixing efficiency was low, the forming time was long, and the common forming device could not be adjusted according to the size of the mold. It could only be adapted to molds of specific sizes and could not meet the mixing needs of molds of various different sizes, thus limiting its applicability.

[0005] Therefore, we provide a multi-layer spiral stirring ice cream forming device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0030] 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.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-layer spiral stirring ice cream forming device, including a device body 1, a lifting stirring assembly 7 installed at the top of the device body 1, the lifting stirring assembly 7 including a rotating rod fixing block 701 installed at the top of the device body 1, a rotating rod 702 installed at the lower end of the rotating rod fixing block 701, an extended stirring assembly 8 installed on the lower end surface of the rotating rod 702, and the extended stirring assembly 8 including a sleeve 801 installed on the lower end surface of the rotating rod 702.

[0032] Furthermore, a mold placement groove 2 is provided on the inner side of the device body 1. Fixing blocks 3 are installed on both sides of the surface of the mold placement groove 2. The mold placement groove 2 and the fixing blocks 3 are welded together. A lead screw 4 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the fixing block 3. An adjustment handle 5 is installed on the left end of the lead screw 4, and an arc-shaped clamping plate 6 is installed on the right end of the lead screw 4. The adjustment handle 5 forms a rotating structure with the lead screw 4 passing through the fixing block 3 and the arc-shaped clamping plate 6. When the mold is placed in the mold placement groove 2, the lead screw 4 rotates by rotating the adjustment handle 5, which drives the arc-shaped clamping plate 6 to move, thereby clamping or releasing the mold and firmly holding the mold to ensure that the mold will not loosen or shift during the mixing process, thus ensuring the molding effect. At the same time, it is suitable for molds of various sizes, enhancing its applicability.

[0033] Furthermore, the rotating rod fixing block 701 and the rotating rod 702 are connected by a rotating structure. A first pulley 703 is mounted on the surface of the rotating rod 702, and the rotating rod 702 and the first pulley 703 are connected by a slot. A belt 704 is sleeved on the surface of the first pulley 703, and a second pulley 705 is mounted on the inner side of the belt 704. The second pulley 705 and the first pulley 703 form a transmission structure through the belt 704. A drive motor 706 is connected to the inner side of the second pulley 705 via a key. When the drive motor 706 starts, it drives the first pulley 703 through the key. The second pulley 705 rotates, and the second pulley 705 drives the first pulley 703 to rotate via the belt 704, which in turn causes the rotating rod 702 to rotate, thus realizing the stirring action. The device uses belt 704 transmission, which can smoothly transmit the power of the drive motor 706 to the rotating rod 702, avoiding the impact and vibration that may be caused by direct transmission, and ensuring the stability of the stirring process. At the same time, the connection between the belt 704 and the pulley is easy to disassemble and replace. When the belt 704 is worn or damaged, it can be quickly replaced, reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0034] Furthermore, a connecting block 707 is installed at the lower end of the rotating rod 702. The rotating rod 702 and the connecting block 707 are welded together. A connecting shaft 708 is installed at the lower end of the connecting block 707. When the rotating rod 702 rotates, it drives the connecting shaft 708 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating base 709 to rotate, thus realizing the transmission of power. The connecting shaft 708 can distribute the rotational power of the rotating rod 702, and the connection method of the connecting shaft 708 is firm and reliable, ensuring the normal operation of the device.

[0035] Furthermore, a rotating base 709 is installed at the bottom of the connecting shaft 708. A connecting rod 710 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating base 709. A micro motor 711 is installed at the top of the connecting rod 710, and a connecting rotating rod 712 is installed at the bottom of the connecting rod 710. A spiral blade 713 is installed on the surface of the connecting rotating rod 712. The micro motor 711 passes through the connecting rod 710 via the rotating shaft and forms a rotating structure with the connecting rotating rod 712. The spiral blade 713 is welded to the connecting rotating rod 712. The micro motor 711 drives the connecting rotating rod 712 to rotate via the rotating shaft passing through the connecting rod 710, thereby causing the spiral blade 713 to rotate, realizing spiral stirring of the material. While the rotating rod 702 revolves, the spiral blade 713 rotates under the action of the micro motor 711, which improves the stirring efficiency and reduces the time required for ice cream forming.

[0036] Furthermore, the surface of the sleeve 801 is provided with multiple sets of slots. The right side of the sleeve 801 is connected to a displacement gear 802 through the slots. A displacement motor 803 is provided on the right side of the displacement gear 802. The displacement gear 802 and the displacement motor 803 form a transmission structure through gears. When the mold is different, the displacement motor 803 is started, and the displacement gear 802 is driven to rotate through gear transmission. The displacement gear 802 engages with the slots of the sleeve 801, so that the sleeve 801 moves up and down along the rotating rod 702, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the extended stirring assembly 8. It is also suitable for molds of different sizes.

[0037] Furthermore, a connecting base 804 is installed at the lower end of the sleeve 801. The sleeve 801 is connected to the connecting base 804 through a bearing. A connecting groove is opened at the bottom end of the connecting base 804. An extended stirring device 805 is installed on the surface of the connecting base 804. The extended stirring device 805 is made of food-grade 316 stainless steel. When the extended stirring component 8 descends, the connecting base 804 engages with the connecting block 707, and then the extended stirring component 8 is driven to rotate through the rotating rod 702, thereby playing a stirring role.

[0038] Working Principle: In use, first place the ice cream mold in the mold placement slot 2 of the device body 1. Rotate the adjusting handle 5, which moves the arc-shaped clamping plate 6 via the lead screw 4, firmly clamping the mold in the mold placement slot 2. Start the drive motor 706, which drives the second pulley 705 to rotate via a flat key. The second pulley 705 drives the first pulley 703 to rotate via a belt 704, thereby causing the rotating rod 702 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 702 drives the connecting shaft 708 to rotate, which transmits power to the rotating base 709. The rotating base 709 drives the connecting rod 712 to rotate via the connecting rod 710, causing the spiral blades 713 to begin spiral stirring. Depending on the size of the mold, when the mold is large, start the displacement motor 803, which drives the displacement gear 802 to rotate via gear transmission. The displacement gear 802 engages with the slot of the sleeve 801, causing the sleeve 801 to rotate along the groove. The rotating rod 702 moves up and down to adjust the position of the extended mixing component 8 to fit the size of the mold. During the mixing process, the rotating rod 702 revolves under the drive of the drive motor 706. At the same time, the micro motor 711 drives the connecting rod 712 to rotate through the rotating shaft and connecting rod 710, causing the spiral blade 713 to rotate, achieving efficient spiral mixing of the material. The extended mixing component 8 rotates under the drive of the rotating rod 702, playing an auxiliary mixing role and further enhancing the mixing effect, making the ice cream more uniform in shape. After the ice cream is formed, the drive motor 706 and the micro motor 711 are turned off to stop the mixing action. The adjustment handle 5 is reversed, and the arc-shaped clamping plate 6 is moved through the lead screw 4 to release the mold and remove the formed ice cream mold, completing the entire ice cream forming process. This completes the use of a multi-layer spiral mixing ice cream forming device.
