Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of household appliance products, specifically relating to an extrusion ice cream machine. Background Technology

[0002] As food processing equipment, ice cream machines have evolved into various types to meet the production needs of different scenarios. Extrusion ice cream machines apply pressure to the ice cream base material entering the cavity, causing the material to be sheared and mixed within the cavity before being discharged from the outlet. Some extrusion ice cream machines also incorporate air during the extrusion process to improve the fluffiness of the ice cream. The ice cream base material is a mixture of cream, sugar, stabilizers, etc., and different flavors can be selected as needed.

[0003] Existing extrusion ice cream machines use a single extrusion structure in the cavity, which makes it difficult to match the pushing speed and extrusion intensity of the ice cream base in the cavity, easily leading to uneven mixing and affecting the consistency of the ice cream's taste. In addition, existing extrusion ice cream machines cannot mix ice cream bases of different flavors according to the user's needs. Utility Model Content

[0032] Example 1 refer to Figures 1-7 This embodiment provides an extrusion ice cream machine 100 for extruding and mixing ice cream materials to prepare a delicious ice cream product. The extrusion ice cream machine includes a main support 1, an inner shell 2, an extruder 3, and a cover 4. The main support 1 includes a first outer shell 11 and a second outer shell 12. The first outer shell 11 extends along a first direction X and is provided with a first chamber 110; the second outer shell 12 extends along a second direction Y and is provided with a second chamber 120. The first chamber 110 and the second chamber 120 communicate with each other.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first direction X is the longitudinal direction, the second direction Y is the height direction, and the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y. Figure 1 As shown, the main support 1 has a T-shaped structure, and both the first outer shell 11 and the second outer shell 12 have columnar or cylindrical structures. The first outer shell 11 and the second outer shell 12 are integrally formed, such as an integrally injection-molded plastic part or an integrally stamped / die-cast metal part. In some embodiments, the first outer shell 11 and the second outer shell 12 are separate structures, which can be fixedly connected together by bonding, (ultrasonic) welding or screwing.

[0034] The inner shell 2 is disposed in the first chamber 110. Specifically, the inner shell 2 is detachably connected to the first outer shell 11, meaning that the user can replace the inner shell 2 as needed. The inner shell 2 has a feed inlet 21, which is connected to the second chamber 120. Ice cream material enters the third chamber 20 of the inner shell 2 from the second chamber 120 through the feed inlet 120.

[0035] The extruder 3 is disposed in the inner shell 2. Specifically, the extruder 3 is coaxially mounted in the third chamber 20 of the inner shell 2, and the extruder 3 is rotatably connected to the first outer shell 11, that is, the extruder 3 can rotate relative to the first outer shell 11. The extruder 3 is provided with a first extrusion structure 31. Correspondingly, the inner shell 2 is provided with a second extrusion structure 23 on its inner sidewall 22. The second extrusion structure 23 and the first extrusion structure 21 cooperate with each other to process the ice cream material.

[0036] The pressing rod 4 is inserted into the second chamber 120 along the second direction Y, and is used to guide and push the ice cream material into the feed inlet 21 and into the third chamber 20. In the third chamber 20, the extruder 2 rotates, so that the first structure 31 and the second extrusion structure 23 cooperate with each other to extrude the ice cream material.

[0037] The cover 5 is sealed to one end of the first outer casing 11, and the cover 5 is provided with a discharge port 51, which is located on the bottom of the cover 5. In some embodiments, the discharge port 51 may also be obliquely arranged on the side of the cover 5.

[0038] In the extrusion ice cream machine of this embodiment, ice cream material is added to the second chamber 120 of the second outer shell 12, guided by the pressure rod 4 and pressed (pushed) into the feed inlet 21 of the inner shell 2, and then enters the third chamber 20. The extruder 2 located in the third chamber 20 rotates relative to the first outer shell 11. At this time, the first extrusion structure 31 on the outer side wall of the extruder 3 cooperates with the second extrusion structure 23 on the inner side wall of the inner shell 2 to extrude the ice cream material; as the extruder 3 rotates, the extruded ice cream material flows out from the discharge port 51.

[0039] In some embodiments, the extrusion ice cream machine 100 further includes a main unit 6, a sealing element 7, and a feeding tray 8. The main unit 6 is equipped with a motor, and the main unit 6 is driven to connect with the extruder 3, thereby driving the extruder 3 to rotate relative to the first outer shell 11.

[0040] The cover 5 is sealed to the first outer shell 11 by the sealing element 7, so that the processed ice cream material flows out from the outlet 51 without overflowing from the connection between the cover 5 and the first outer shell 11 (main body support 1).

[0041] The feeding tray 8 has a base 81 below it, and the second outer shell 12 has an inlet 121. The base 81 is inserted into the inlet 121. The feeding tray 8 has a wide feeding cavity 82 above the base 81. The ice cream material 82 is placed in the feeding cavity 82 and then introduced into the second chamber 120 by the pressing rod 4.

[0042] exist Figures 1-5 Based on reference Figure 6 The extrusion member 3 includes a first end 301, a second end 302, and an extrusion sidewall 303. The extrusion sidewall 303 is located between the first end 301 and the second end 302. A first extrusion structure 31 is disposed on the extrusion sidewall 303. The first end 301 is rotatably connected to the cover 5. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the diameter of the first end 301 is larger than the diameter of the second end 302, and the extruded part 3 has a conical structure that is thicker on the left and thinner on the right.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first extrusion structure 31 is a spirally distributed rib 311. The rib 311 starts at the second end 302 and extends to the first end 301 after being spirally distributed on the extrusion sidewall 303.

[0044] The second extrusion structure 23 is a first protrusion 231 disposed on the inner sidewall 22 of the inner shell 2. The first protrusion 231 is continuously distributed in a spiral shape, and the spiral distribution direction of the first protrusion 231 is opposite to the spiral distribution direction of the protrusion rib 311. A certain gap is left between the first protrusion 231 and the protrusion rib 311. After the ice cream material enters the third chamber 20, it is mixed and sheared under the joint extrusion action of the protrusion rib 311 of the first extrusion structure 31 and the first protrusion 231 of the second extrusion structure 23, and finally discharged from the outlet to obtain a smooth ice cream.

[0045] This embodiment optimizes the spiral continuous distribution of the first protrusion 231 and the protrusion rib 311 and the gap between them, so that the first extrusion structure 31 and the second extrusion structure 23 can extrude the ice cream material with a stable extrusion pressure, thereby improving the flavor profile of the product.

[0046] Furthermore, the first outer shell 11 is provided with a positioning protrusion 111, which protrudes towards the first chamber 110; the inner shell 2 is provided with a positioning groove 24 at one end near the cover 5. When the inner shell 2 is installed into the first chamber 110, the positioning protrusion 111 engages with the positioning groove 24, allowing the inner shell 2 to be smoothly inserted into the inner side of the first outer shell 11. In this embodiment, three positioning protrusions 111 are evenly distributed on the inner sidewall of the first outer shell 11 and engage with three positioning grooves 24, thereby fixing the position of the inner shell 2 installed inside the first outer shell 11 and forming a stable triangular limiting structure, thereby restricting the displacement of the inner shell 2 in the circumferential direction.

[0047] It should be noted that the inner shell 2 is detachably connected to the first outer shell 11. As needed, the inner shell 2 can be removed from the first outer shell 11 along the first direction X, and a different inner shell with a second extrusion structure or a new inner shell can be replaced.

[0048] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the inner shell of Embodiment 1 of this utility model, which employs different second extrusion structures. Figure 7 As shown in 7A, the second extrusion structure 23 of the inner shell 2 is a second protrusion 232 that is distributed intermittently in a spiral shape. The spiral distribution direction of the second protrusion 232 on the inner sidewall 22 is opposite to the spiral distribution direction of the protrusion rib 311 on the extrusion sidewall 303.

[0049] The second protrusion 232 of the second extrusion structure 23 cooperates with the protrusion rib 311 of the first extrusion structure 31 to extrude the ice cream material in the third chamber, thereby producing ice cream with a delicate texture and intermittent spiral pattern.

[0050] In some embodiments, the second extrusion structure 23 is a third protrusion 233 disposed along the first direction X. Wherein, as... Figure 7 As shown in 7B, the third convex strip 233 is continuously distributed in the inner wall 21 of the inner shell 2. Figure 7 As shown in 7C, the third convex strip is intermittently distributed in the inner wall 21 of the inner shell 2.

[0051] The third protrusion 233 of the second extrusion structure 23 cooperates with the protrusion rib 311 of the first extrusion structure 31 to extrude the ice cream material in the third chamber.

[0052] It should also be noted that the first outer shell 11 has a positioning groove 112 at the end away from the cover 5, and the extruder 3 extends a rotating shaft 32 from the second end 302. The rotating shaft 32 is inserted into the positioning groove 112. The host 6 is driven to connect with the extruder 3 through the rotating shaft 32, thereby driving the extruder 3 to rotate relative to the inner shell 2.

[0053] In this embodiment of the extrusion ice cream machine, the ice cream material enters the inner shell located in the first chamber through the second chamber. Under the cooperation of the second extrusion structure of the inner shell and the first extrusion structure of the extruder, it is subjected to stable extrusion to produce ice cream with a delicate texture. Furthermore, the inner shell with different structures can be replaced as needed to produce ice cream of different shapes.

[0054] Example 2 exist Figures 1-7 Based on reference Figures 8-10 This embodiment provides an extrusion ice cream machine 100 with another structure. In this extrusion ice cream machine 100, the feeding tray 8 is provided with a partition plate 83 in the base 81. The partition plate 83 is perpendicularly distributed along the second direction Y, and is in contact with the feeding cavity 82 and protrudes from the base 81.

[0055] In this embodiment, the pressing rod component 4 includes a pressing member 41 and a rod body 42. The rod body 42 has a slot 421, which divides the rod body 42 into two structurally identical pressing rod units 422. The pressing rod units 422 are inserted into the second chamber 120, and a partition plate 83 is inserted into the slot 421. At the same time, the partition plate 83 also partially divides the second chamber 120 into two chamber units. The other structures of the extrusion ice cream machine 100 in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and will not be described again here.

[0056] Two different ice cream ingredients, such as those of different colors, compositions, and viscosities, are added to the second chamber 120 and guided by the two individual pressing rods 422 of the pressing rod 4, and pressed (pushed) into the inlet 21 of the inner shell 2, and then enter the third chamber 20. The extruder 2 located in the third chamber 20 rotates relative to the first outer shell 11. At this time, the first extrusion structure 31 on the outer wall of the extruder 3 and the second extrusion structure 23 on the inner wall of the inner shell 2 cooperate with each other to extrude the ice cream ingredients. As the extruder 3 rotates, the extruded ice cream ingredients flow out from the outlet 51, forming an ice cream product with two different ice cream ingredients alternating.

[0057] In addition, similar to the extrusion ice cream machine in Example 1, different inner shell structures can be replaced as needed, and ice cream materials of different colors, components, and viscosities can be used to produce ice cream products of various shapes and appearances.

[0058] The above description is merely an example and illustration of the structure of this utility model, and while the description is quite specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these obvious substitutions all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
