Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a plug-in type ice-making device, belonging to the field of frozen beverage production and processing technology. Background Technology

[0002] Existing ice-making equipment generally adopts a planar structure, and most molds are also planar. This type of ice-making equipment has a limited heat exchange area, a slow freezing speed, and suffers from low heat exchange efficiency and high energy consumption. Moreover, its unloading and demolding methods often require external force, such as hammering or hot water spraying, which seriously affects production efficiency. At the same time, these unloading methods are often quite rough, easily damaging the product and potentially damaging the mold, causing inconvenience to product manufacturing and processing.

[0003] There are similar ice-making devices in the existing technology, but most of them have not been widely promoted and applied due to problems such as complex structure and low processing efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Furthermore, both the insert rod and the partition plate are made of metal, and the partition plate is connected to the insert rod by welding.

[0027] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a rod-type ice-making device, including an ice-making grid and a driving mechanism. The ice-making grid is composed of an upper-opening mold 1 and a plug-in mold 4. The upper-opening mold 1 has a mold cavity that is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top to facilitate the demolding of the ice grid. The plug-in mold 4 includes a plug rod 42 and a partition plate 41. The partition plate 41 is connected to both sides of the plug rod 42 at intervals. The plug-in mold 4 is inserted into the upper-opening mold 1 and divides the mold cavity into several grid units or partition areas 44.

[0028] The upper part of the insertion rod 42 is provided with a connecting part 43 connected to the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism drives the insertion rod 42 to insert and pull out, realizing the insertion and removal of the upper opening mold 1. The drive mechanism adopts a robotic gripping structure or a cylinder transmission mechanism.

[0029] In this type of plug-in ice-making device, the plug-in mold 4 acts like a stick, pulling the product out of the upper opening mold 1 by driving the plug-in mold 4. This type of ice-making structure can achieve rapid demolding. After the plug 42 is pulled out, the ice tray basically falls off, and the demolding efficiency is very high.

[0030] The cross-sectional shape of the top-opening mold can be circular, elliptical, rectangular, or racetrack-shaped (or capsule-shaped). In this example, the top-opening mold adopts a racetrack-shaped cross-section, which can also be called a U-shaped mold.

[0031] The upper opening mold 1, the insertion rod 42 of the insertion mold, and the partition plate 41 are all made of metal materials, such as stainless steel. Example 2:

[0032] Further optional designs for this example include, for example Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the insert rod 42 has a flat structure, and its width is similar to that of the partition plate 41 and adapted to the thickness of the mold cavity. The partition plates 41 on both sides of the insert rod 42 are evenly and symmetrically arranged, and the mold cavity is divided into several grid units by the insert rod 42 and the partition plates 41. Both the insert rod 42 and the partition plates 41 are made of metal, and the partition plates 41 are connected to the insert rod 42 by welding. This welding method makes the connection between the insert rod 42 and the partition plates 41 more stable, and the removal after ice making is more stable, and can withstand the force of quickly pulling the ice block out of the mold. Example 3:

[0033] Further optional designs for this example include, for example Figure 4 As shown, the device is equipped with one or more sets of mounting components. Each set of mounting components includes a mold fixing plate 3 and a crossbeam 5 arranged in parallel. Multiple ice trays are mounted on each set of mounting components. The upper opening mold 1 of the ice tray is mounted on the mold fixing plate 3. The insertion rod 42 of the ice tray is connected to the crossbeam 5. The crossbeam 5 is connected to the drive mechanism for transmission. This structure can drive multiple ice production units through each set of crossbeams 5, realizing efficient production of multiple working units. Example 4:

[0034] Further optional designs for this example include, for example Figure 4 As shown, the upper part of the upper-opening mold 1 is also provided with a cover plate 2. The cover plate 2 has a groove that matches the insertion rod 42, and is equipped with a translational or lifting transmission mechanism to drive the cover plate 2 to cover or move the upper opening of the upper-opening mold 1. This insertion rod ice-making device with a cover plate 2 structure isolates the product from the outside environment during the product freezing and forming process by covering the upper opening of the upper-opening mold 1 with the cover plate 2, making the product less susceptible to contamination and more hygienic.

[0035] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0036] When the plug-in type ice maker is in operation, the upper opening mold 1 is moved to the injection station, where raw materials are injected. After injection, the upper opening mold 1 moves to the next plug-in station, where the plug-out mold 4 is placed inside. The upper opening mold 1 is then frozen, and the raw materials are formed within both the upper opening mold 1 and the plug-out mold 4. The formed product then passes through the demolding station, where the plug-out mold 4 pulls the product out. After the product is removed, the upper opening mold 1 is moved back to the injection station to begin a new round of production.
