Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice cream production technology, specifically to an ice cream filling double-valve anti-drip structure. Background Technology
[0002] Ice cream is a frozen food with expanded volume made from drinking water, milk, milk powder, cream (or vegetable oil), sugar and other main ingredients, with the addition of appropriate food additives, through processes such as mixing, sterilization, homogenization, aging, freezing and hardening. Ice cream needs to be filled during production. During ice cream filling, it was found that ice cream liquid residue would remain in the filling nozzle, and the residue would drip from the filling nozzle, contaminating the equipment. This would require frequent cleaning and sterilization, leading to increased energy consumption and cleaning agent costs. Therefore, it is necessary to invent a double-valve anti-drip structure for ice cream filling. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Therefore, this utility model provides a double-valve anti-drip structure for ice cream filling to solve the problems in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a double-valve anti-drip structure for ice cream filling, including a storage box, a feeding pipe fixedly embedded at the bottom of the storage box, a filling nozzle at the bottom of the feeding pipe, and an electric butterfly valve between the filling nozzle and the feeding pipe; An air pump is fixedly connected to the top of the storage box, and a pipe is fixedly connected to the air outlet of the air pump. The end of the pipe is fixedly embedded in the top of the storage box. A liquid removal component is provided on the rear side of the filling nozzle, which is used to remove the ice cream liquid remaining in the filling nozzle.
[0005] Preferably, the liquid removal component includes a housing 1 and a housing 2, with the housing 2 located on top of the housing 1. The inner sides of both the housing 1 and the housing 2 are open, and an electric butterfly valve 2 is provided between the housing 1 and the housing 2.
[0006] Preferably, a second pipe is fixedly connected between the housing and the filling nozzle, and each of the two second pipes is equipped with a one-way valve.
[0007] Preferably, a pipe is fixedly connected between the second shell and the storage box.
[0008] Preferably, a base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing, the base plate is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the filling nozzle, and a reinforcing rod is fixedly connected between the base plate and the storage box.
[0009] Preferably, a feed pipe is fixedly embedded in the top of the storage box, and a switch valve is provided on the feed pipe.
[0010] Preferably, the electric butterfly valve is connected to the feed pipe and the filling nozzle by bolts.
[0011] Preferably, the electric butterfly valve two is connected to housing one and housing two by bolts.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: In this invention, electric butterfly valve one controls the filling channel, and electric butterfly valve two controls the residue cleaning channel. After filling is completed, electric butterfly valve one is closed and electric butterfly valve two is opened. Then, the residual pressure in the storage tank can enter the filling nozzle through pipe three, shell two, shell one and two pipe two, thereby blowing the residual liquid into the container holding the ice cream liquid. In this way, residual liquid can be avoided in the filling nozzle during filling, thus avoiding the phenomenon of dripping and contamination.
[0013] This invention solves the problem of residual liquid in the filling nozzle, eliminating the need for frequent cleaning and sterilization of the equipment, thus avoiding increased energy consumption and cleaning agent costs, and improving the economic benefits and product quality of enterprises.

[0017] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0018] See attached document Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 6 The present invention provides a double-valve anti-drip structure for ice cream filling, including a storage box 1, a feeding pipe 2 fixedly embedded at the bottom of the storage box 1, a filling nozzle 3 at the bottom of the feeding pipe 2, and an electric butterfly valve 4 between the filling nozzle 3 and the feeding pipe 2. An air pump 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the storage box 1. A pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the air outlet of the air pump 5. The end of the pipe 6 is fixedly embedded in the top of the storage box 1. A liquid removal component is provided on the rear side of the filling nozzle 3, which is used to remove the residual ice cream liquid in the filling nozzle 3. The liquid removal component includes a housing 1 7 and a housing 2 8, with the housing 2 8 located on top of the housing 1 7. The inner sides of both the housing 1 7 and the housing 2 8 are open. An electric butterfly valve 2 9 is provided between the housing 1 7 and the housing 2 8. A pipe 2 10 is fixedly connected between the housing 1 7 and the filling nozzle 3. A one-way valve 11 is provided on both pipes 2 10. A pipe 3 12 is fixedly connected between the housing 2 8 and the storage tank 1. In this implementation plan, after filling is completed, the electric butterfly valve 4 is closed and the electric butterfly valve 9 is opened. Then the residual pressure in the storage tank 1 can enter the filling nozzle 3 through the pipe 12, the shell 8, the shell 7 and the two pipes 10, thereby blowing the residual liquid into the container holding the ice cream liquid. This way, residual liquid can be avoided in the filling nozzle 3 during filling. In order to increase stability, the device adopts the following technical solution: a base plate 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 7, the base plate 13 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the filling nozzle 3, and a reinforcing rod 14 is fixedly connected between the base plate 13 and the storage box 1. The base plate 13 and the reinforcing rod 14 can increase the stability between the filling nozzle 3, housing 7, housing 8 and other components and the storage box 1. In order to achieve the purpose of feeding, the device adopts the following technical solution: a feed pipe 15 is fixedly embedded on the top of the storage tank 1, and a switch valve 16 is provided on the feed pipe 15; To achieve the installation purpose, the device adopts the following technical solution: the electric butterfly valve 4 is connected to the feed pipe 2 and the filling nozzle 3 by bolts, and the electric butterfly valve 9 is connected to the housing 7 and the housing 8 by bolts. The feed pipe 2, the filling nozzle 3, the housing 7 and the housing 8 are all equipped with flanges, and the electric butterfly valve 4 and the electric butterfly valve 9 are equipped with flanges. When in use, the electric butterfly valve 4 can be connected to the feed pipe 2 and the filling nozzle 3 by bolts under the action of the flanges, and the electric butterfly valve 9 can be connected to the housing 7 and the housing 8.
[0019] The usage process of this utility model is as follows: When using this device, the entire device can be installed on the ice cream production line by welding. Then, the switch valve 16 is opened, and the ice cream liquid to be filled can be added into the storage tank 1 through the feed pipe 15. After the addition is completed, the switch valve 16 is closed. When filling is required, place the ice cream container at the bottom of the filling nozzle 3, then control the electric butterfly valve 4 to open, and then control the air pump 5 to work. Under the action of the pipe 6, air can be injected into the storage tank 1, which increases the air pressure in the storage tank 1, thereby squeezing the ice cream liquid downwards. Then the ice cream liquid can flow into the container through the discharge pipe 2, the electric butterfly valve 4, and the filling nozzle 3, thus completing the filling. The air pressure filling can avoid the filling work not being normal due to the low fluidity of the liquid. After filling is completed, control the electric butterfly valve 4 to close, and then control the electric butterfly valve 9 to open. Since the electric butterfly valve 4 is closed suddenly, there is still a certain pressure in the storage tank 1. When the electric butterfly valve 9 is opened, the residual pressure in the storage tank 1 can enter the filling nozzle 3 through the pipe 12, the shell 8, the shell 7, and the two pipes 10, thereby blowing the residual liquid into the container containing the ice cream liquid. This can prevent residual liquid from remaining in the filling nozzle 3 during filling, thus avoiding dripping and contamination.
[0020] In this application, the model and specifications of air pump 5, electric butterfly valve 4, and electric butterfly valve 9 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the entire device. Moreover, the above-mentioned components are very mature products in the prior art. Therefore, the specific models, specifications, internal structures, and detailed working principles will not be described in detail. In addition, the electrical control and its principle of the above-mentioned components are clear to those skilled in the art, so the control methods and circuit connections will not be described in detail.
[0021] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art may modify this utility model or modify it into an equivalent technical solution using the technical solutions described above. Therefore, any simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made based on the technical solutions of this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
