Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice cream production technology, and in particular to an ice cream pouring mold. Background Technology
[0002] In the ice cream production process, a filling machine is generally used to pour the raw materials into the mold. After the raw materials solidify and take shape, the ice cream is then pulled out of the mold to complete the demolding process.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN209058010U discloses an ice cream making mold, which includes a filling hopper and a shaping block. The filling hopper is a shell open at one end, with a filling cavity inside. The shaping block is vertically disposed on the outer bottom of the filling hopper, and is also a shell open at one end. The shells of the filling hopper and the shaping block have the same thickness. A base cavity and a composite cavity are provided inside the shaping block. One side of the base cavity and the composite cavity are connected, and the openings of both the base cavity and the composite cavity are connected to the filling cavity. The volume of the base cavity is larger than the volume of the composite cavity. This ice cream making mold, when used in conjunction with an ice cream production line, enables mass production of ice cream, reducing production costs while improving production efficiency.
[0004] Because the position of the filling cavity in the ice cream making mold disclosed in the above utility model patent is fixed, the ice cream making mold can only be adapted to a specific filling machine and cannot be installed on a filling machine with an incompatible nozzle spacing for production. Therefore, the existing ice cream making mold has poor versatility. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an ice cream pouring mold that solves the problem of poor versatility of existing ice cream making molds.
[0006] According to an embodiment of this utility model, an ice cream filling mold includes a base, at least two movable seats are provided on the base and the movable seats are respectively movably disposed on the base. A plurality of limiting posts are provided on the base at intervals along the moving direction of the movable seats. Each movable seat is provided with a liftable limiting block and a spring abutting against the limiting block. When the limiting block moves up and down in the vertical direction, it enters or exits between two adjacent limiting posts and the distance between two adjacent limiting posts is the same as the width of the limiting block. The spring drives the limiting block to extend into the space between two adjacent limiting posts. The movable seat is also provided with a detachable filling block, and the filling block has a filling cavity.
[0007] Furthermore, the base is provided with a trapezoidal block, the length direction of which is consistent with the moving direction of the movable seat, and the movable seat is provided with a sliding groove that cooperates with the trapezoidal block.
[0008] Furthermore, the limiting block is provided with a guide rod, and the movable seat is provided with a guide hole that cooperates with the guide rod, and the axial direction of the guide hole is consistent with the vertical direction.
[0009] Furthermore, an end cap is threaded to the end of the guide rod away from the limiting block, and the diameter of the end cap is larger than the diameter of the guide hole.
[0010] Furthermore, the movable seat is also provided with a limiting hole, which is coaxially arranged with the guide hole. The spring is sleeved on the guide rod, and one end of the opposite ends of the spring in the extension and contraction direction abuts against the end cap, while the other end extends into the limiting hole and abuts against the movable seat.
[0011] Furthermore, the movable seat is provided with a slot, and the injection block is provided with a locking block that cooperates with the slot.
[0012] Furthermore, the filling block is provided with a filling hopper, which is arranged around the opening of the filling cavity.
[0013] Furthermore, the base is provided with a clearance groove, the length direction of which is consistent with the moving direction of the movable seat, and part of the injection block extends into the clearance groove.
[0014] Furthermore, mounting plates are provided on opposite sides of the base, and each mounting plate has a through mounting hole.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: By using a filling block with a filling cavity set on a movable seat to accommodate the raw materials injected by the filling machine to form ice cream, and the movable seat is movably set on the base, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the movable seat or the spacing between the movable seats so that the filling block on the movable seat corresponds to the nozzle of the filling machine, the moving limit block is moved to make the limit block exit the area between two adjacent limit posts. At this time, the movable seat can move on the base to adjust the position of the filling block by the movement of the movable seat. After the movable seat is adjusted to the position, the limit block is moved to the area between the two corresponding limit posts, and the elastic force provided by the spring keeps the limit block between the two corresponding limit posts. The limit posts prevent the movement of the limit block, thus preventing the movable seat from moving unexpectedly during the production process, thereby locking the position of the movable seat on the base. This solves the technical problem of poor universality of existing ice cream making molds, and produces a technical effect of being compatible with different models of filling machines with good universality. Moreover, the adjustment operation is simple and convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes an ice cream filling mold for containing raw materials poured in by a filling machine during the ice cream production process.
[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The ice cream filling mold includes a base 1, on which at least two movable seats 2 are provided, and the movable seats 2 are movably disposed on the base 1. Multiple limiting posts 11 are spaced apart on the base 1 along the moving direction of the movable seats 2. Each movable seat 2 is provided with a liftable limiting block 3 and a spring 4 abutting against the limiting block 3. When the limiting block 3 moves vertically, it enters or exits between two adjacent limiting posts 11, and the distance between two adjacent limiting posts 11 is the same as the width of the limiting block 3. When the limiting block 3 is located between two adjacent limiting posts 11, the limiting posts 11 block the limiting block 3, preventing the movable seat 2 from being filled. The movable seat 2 cannot move on the base 1, but after the limiting block 3 exits between the two adjacent limiting posts 11, the movable seat 2 can be moved to adjust the position of the movable seat 2 or the distance between the two adjacent movable seats 2. The spring 4 drives the limiting block 3 to extend between the two adjacent limiting posts 11. That is, the elastic force provided by the spring 4 can keep the limiting block 3 between the two adjacent limiting posts 11 to lock the position of the movable seat 2 on the base 1. The movable seat 2 is also provided with a detachable injection block 5. The injection block 5 has an injection cavity 51, which is used to contain the raw material injected by the injection machine.
[0023] Specifically, the operation steps for adjusting the ice cream filling mold provided in this embodiment are as follows: First, press the limiting block 3 to disengage it from the area between two adjacent limiting posts 11 to release the locking of the movable seat 2. At this time, the spring 4 is further compressed, and the movable seat 2 can move on the base 1 to adjust the position of the filling block 5 by moving the movable seat 2. After the movable seat 2 is adjusted to the correct position, release the limiting block 3. At this time, the spring 4 returns to its original length and pushes the limiting block 3 into the space between the corresponding two limiting posts 11. The elastic force provided by the spring 4 keeps the limiting block 3 between the corresponding two limiting posts 11. The limiting posts 11 block the movement of the limiting block 3, thus locking the position of the movable seat 2. The ice cream filling mold provided in this embodiment adjusts the position of the filling block 5 by moving the movable seat 2 on the base 1, making the ice cream filling mold compatible with different models of filling machines, with good versatility, and simple and convenient adjustment operation.
[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the base 1 is provided with a trapezoidal block 12. The length direction of the trapezoidal block 12 is consistent with the moving direction of the movable seat 2, and the movable seat 2 is provided with a sliding groove 21 that cooperates with the trapezoidal block 12. The movable seat 2 is installed on the base 1 through the cooperation of the sliding groove 21 and the trapezoidal block 12, so that the movable seat 2 can move smoothly on the base 1 while ensuring reliable cooperation between the movable seat 2 and the base 1. The movable seat 2 can be removed from the base 1 by moving the movable seat 2 to disengage the trapezoidal block 12 from the sliding groove 21, so that the number of movable seats 2 can be increased or decreased according to production needs.
[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the limiting block 3 is provided with a guide rod 31, and the movable seat 2 is provided with a guide hole that cooperates with the guide rod 31, and the axis of the guide hole is consistent with the vertical direction. The guide hole on the movable seat 2 cooperates with the guide rod 31 to restrict the movement direction of the limiting block 3, and prevent the limiting block 3 from deviating from the preset direction when moving, which would prevent the limiting block 3 from being inserted between two adjacent limiting posts 11.
[0026] In detail, the end of the guide rod 31 furthest from the limiting block 3 is threadedly connected to an end cap 32, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the guide hole. After the guide rod 31 is passed through the guide hole, the end cap 32 is installed onto the guide rod 31, thus keeping the guide rod 31 within the guide hole. This ensures a stable fit between the limiting block 3 and the movable seat 2, preventing the limiting block 3 from falling off the movable seat 2 and causing the movable seat 2 to lose its locked position.
[0027] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 The movable seat 2 is also provided with a limiting hole 22, which is coaxially arranged with the guide hole. The spring 4 is sleeved on the guide rod 31, with one end of the spring 4 in the extension direction abutting against the end cap 32 and the other end extending into the limiting hole 22 and abutting against the movable seat 2. The limiting hole 22 on the movable seat 2 is used to accommodate one end of the spring 4, so that when the limiting block 3 moves, both ends of the spring 4 remain abutting against the movable seat 2 and the end cap 32 respectively, which helps to improve the structural stability of the ice cream pouring mold.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 3 The movable base 2 is provided with a slot 23, and the filling block 5 is provided with a locking block 52 that cooperates with the slot 23. The filling block 5 is installed on the movable base 2 through the cooperation of the locking block 52 and the slot 23, realizing the detachable connection between the filling block 5 and the movable base 2. This allows the filling block 5 with different shapes of the filling cavity 51 to be replaced according to production needs, so that the ice cream filling mold can meet the production needs of products with different shapes.
[0029] In this embodiment, the filling block 5 is provided with a filling hopper 53, which is arranged around the opening of the filling cavity 51. The filling hopper 53 is used to guide the raw material injected by the filling machine into the filling cavity and prevent the raw material from falling out of the filling cavity during the filling process.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the base 1 is provided with a clearance groove 13. The length direction of the clearance groove 13 is consistent with the moving direction of the movable seat 2, and part of the injection block 5 extends into the clearance groove 13. The clearance groove 13 is used to avoid the injection block 5, so as to prevent the injection block 5 from colliding with the base 1 during the movement of the movable seat 2 on the base 1, and to ensure that the injection block 5 can be adjusted into position as needed.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, mounting plates 14 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the base 1, and mounting holes 15 are respectively provided on the mounting plates 14. The mounting plates 14 provided on both sides of the base 1 are used to install the ice cream filling mold onto production equipment such as a filling machine. The position of the ice cream filling mold on the production equipment can be fixed by bolts passing through the mounting holes 15 and cooperating with the production equipment, so as to keep the position of the ice cream filling mold on the production equipment stable.
[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
