[0024] Example:

[0025] To solve the above technical problems, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a chocolate waterfall machine, including: a holding bowl 1 with a base 2 below it; a pumping assembly installed inside the holding bowl 1; a spiral conveying pipe 3 installed inside the holding bowl 1 and connected to the pumping assembly; a guide assembly 4 installed on the conveying pipe; a first heating element 6 installed inside the base 2 and located below the holding bowl 1; and a second heating element 7 installed on the conveying spiral pipe.

[0026] The container 1 is fixed above the base 2, and the circumference of the container 1 is larger than that of the base 2. The first heating element 6 is installed inside the base 2, located below the container 1. The pumping assembly is installed inside the container 1, with its inlet connected to the container 1 and its outlet sealed to the spiral conveying pipe 3. The spiral conveying pipe 3 is installed vertically inside the container 1, with its other end extending beyond the top of the container 1 and beyond the rim of the container 1. The guide assembly 4 is fixed to the outer wall and top of the spiral conveying pipe 3. The second heating element 7 is wound around the outer wall of the spiral conveying pipe 3. The second discharge assembly 5 is fixed to the side of the base 2 by a threaded connection and is connected to the inside of the container 1. The first heating element 6 is a resistance heating element, and the second heating element 7 is a spiral electric heating tube. Both are existing equipment, common knowledge to those skilled in the art, and available in the prior art. Therefore, they will not be described in detail in the specification.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the pumping assembly includes a drive pump 301, which has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is connected to the container 1, and the outlet is connected to the spiral conveying pipe 3. The drive pump 301 pumps the liquid chocolate in the container 1 from the inlet to the outlet.

[0028] The pumping assembly is installed inside the container 1. The outlet of the drive pump 301 is connected to the container 1 and the outlet is connected to the spiral conveying pipe 3. The liquid chocolate flows into the container 1 from the inlet to the outlet and is then conveyed to the spiral conveying pipe 3. The drive pump 301 is a gear pump driven by a motor. A filter and a check valve are also installed at the inlet of the drive pump 301 to prevent the liquid chocolate from flowing back. The gear pump, filter, and check valve are all existing equipment, which are common knowledge to those skilled in the art and are available in the prior art. Therefore, they will not be described in detail in the specification.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the guide assembly 4 includes: an overflow bowl 401, disposed at the end of the spiral conveying tube 3 away from the holding bowl 1, the overflow bowl 401 having a through hole with the same size as the opening of the spiral conveying tube 3, and the opening direction of the overflow bowl 401 being consistent with that of the holding bowl 1; and a guide arc plate group, including a first guide arc plate 402, a second guide arc plate 403, a third guide arc plate 404, and a fourth guide arc plate 405, the first guide arc plate 402, the second guide arc plate 403, the third guide arc plate 404, and the fourth guide arc plate 405 being arranged sequentially on the outer wall of the spiral conveying tube 3 below the overflow bowl 401, and the fourth guide arc plate 405 being located above the holding bowl 1.

[0030] The overflow bowl 401 is located at the end of the spiral conveying pipe 3 away from the holding bowl 1. The holding bowl 1 has a through hole with the same size as the opening of the spiral conveying pipe 3, allowing the liquid chocolate in the spiral conveying pipe 3 to flow into the overflow bowl 401. The opening of the overflow bowl 401 is aligned with that of the holding bowl 1. The first guide arc plate 402, the second guide arc plate 403, the third guide arc plate 404, and the fourth guide arc plate 405 are sequentially installed on the outer wall of the spiral conveying pipe 3, starting from the bottom of the overflow bowl 401. The liquid chocolate first passes through the spiral conveying pipe 3 to the overflow bowl 401. When the liquid chocolate in the overflow bowl 401 exceeds the opening, it overflows into the first guide arc plate 405. On plate 402, liquid chocolate flows along the first guide arc plate 402, and then flows sequentially onto the second guide arc plate 403, the third guide arc plate 404, and the fourth guide arc plate 405. After flowing over the fourth guide arc plate 405, the liquid chocolate falls back into the holding bowl 1. Each guide arc plate plays a role in guiding the flow direction of the liquid chocolate, so that the liquid chocolate forms a waterfall-like cascading effect. The shape of the guide arc plate can control the flow speed of the liquid chocolate. The overflow bowl 401 converts the flowing liquid chocolate into a state of accumulation in the bowl, so that the liquid chocolate can overflow evenly. The guide arc plate group, through the setting of multiple arc plates, forms a multi-level waterfall visual effect.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, it also includes: a second discharge component 5, which is installed on the side of the base 2, and the second discharge component 5 is connected to the inside of the holding bowl 1.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the second discharge component 5 includes: a branch pipe 501, which is installed on the side of the base 2 and is connected to the holding bowl 1; and a discharge nozzle 502, which is installed on the branch pipe 501 and has its opening direction vertically downward.

[0033] The branch pipe 501 is fixed to the side of the base 2, with one end connected to the holding bowl 1 and the other end extending to the outside of the base 2. The discharge nozzle 502 is fixed to the end of the branch pipe 501, with the opening of the discharge nozzle 502 pointing vertically downward. A valve is threadedly installed on the branch pipe 501, which is a one-way check valve. When the valve is opened, the liquid chocolate in the holding bowl 1 flows into the branch pipe 501 due to gravity and flows vertically downward through the discharge nozzle 502. The branch pipe 501 is used to guide the liquid chocolate to the discharge nozzle 502, which is arranged vertically downward to adapt to different usage scenarios.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, it also includes: a transparent cover 8, which is placed above the base 2.

[0035] Among them, the transparent cover 8 can form a physical barrier to prevent impurities in the air from contaminating the liquid chocolate, making it suitable for scenarios where it is exposed to the outdoors for a long time.

[0036] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope described in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
