Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of refrigeration engineering technology, and in particular relates to a multi-type ice cream machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of traditional ice cream making equipment, existing technologies have significant functional limitations, making it difficult to meet consumers' demand for personalized customization of multiple flavors. Early ice cream machines mostly adopted a single-tank design, which could only hold ingredients for one flavor. They output ice cream in a fixed shape through a single mixing system and outlet. Such equipment has a simple structure but limited functionality, and cannot achieve combinations or layers of different flavors, leaving consumers with very little freedom of choice.

[0003] To address the issue of limited flavor options, some commercial ice cream equipment employs either a "multi-machine parallel" or "multi-tank independent control" design. The former places multiple single-flavor ice cream machines side-by-side, requiring significant space, incurring high procurement costs, and being more cumbersome to operate. The latter sets up 2-3 independent tanks and corresponding systems within the same equipment, allowing for the simultaneous output of two flavors, but it cannot achieve dynamic mixing or customized proportions. These solutions fail to overcome the limitation that "the number of flavors is positively correlated with equipment complexity / cost," exhibiting core pain points such as space and cost conflicts, insufficient flexibility, and low maintenance efficiency. Therefore, developing an ice cream preparation technology that enables flexible combination and dynamic proportioning of multiple flavors within a single device, while maintaining a compact structure, has become a key direction for overcoming traditional technological bottlenecks.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following description, in conjunction with specific embodiments and the appendix, provides further details. Figure 1-3 The present invention will be described in further detail below. It should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present invention.

[0018] This utility model provides a multi-flavor ice cream mixing machine that achieves precise proportioning and efficient production of multiple flavors of ice cream through modular design and intelligent control technology. The overall equipment is based on the outer shell 2 as the basic frame, with multiple independent raw material tanks arranged at the top. Each raw material tank is equipped with a dustproof sealing cover 1, and copper pipes are wound around the outside of the raw material tanks. When cooling, the compressor passes through the condenser and enters the cooling coil formed by the copper pipes. When heating, the compressor directly enters the cooling coil to ensure that the raw materials in the raw material tanks are kept at 5°C. Temperature sensors are installed inside the raw material tanks to reflect the temperature inside the tanks to the control system in real time. It can store raw materials of different flavors such as chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, and original. The bottom outlet is directly connected to the stirring and pushing component to ensure that the raw materials enter the subsequent processing stages as needed.

[0019] The stirring and pushing component is the core module for optimizing ice cream texture. Its stirring cylinder 14 is externally enclosed by an evaporator 12. A closed-loop refrigeration system consisting of a compressor 4, a condenser 5, a throttling device, and the evaporator 12 rapidly cools the ice cream. The stirring shaft inside the stirring cylinder 14 drives the spiral blades 13 to rotate. The diameter of the spiral blades 13 is 2-3 mm smaller than the inner diameter of the stirring cylinder, and the pitch gradually decreases from the inlet to the outlet. This continuously compresses the icy raw material to the outlet, effectively improving the pushing efficiency for high-viscosity raw materials. Combined with real-time monitoring by an in-cylinder temperature sensor, the raw material temperature is stabilized within the optimal freezing range of -5 to -8℃, effectively preventing the formation of ice crystals or localized melting, significantly improving the smooth texture of the ice cream. Notably, the cooling motor 6 located next to the refrigeration component accelerates heat dissipation from the condenser 5. Compared to traditional external refrigeration methods, this effectively improves refrigeration efficiency and significantly shortens the single-processing cycle.

[0020] The mixing and dispensing system enables flexible blending of multiple flavors. The freezer door 10 is equipped with a conveying channel 15 corresponding to the number of ingredient containers 11. The end of the mixing channel is the dispensing end, and a receiving tray 3 is located at the lower end of the dispensing end. If ice cream ingredients at the dispensing end accidentally fall, they will fall into the receiving tray 3 below, preventing ground contamination.

[0021] The conveyor channel 15 converges radially into the mixing channel at its end. The micro switch 17 at the end of the mixing channel is activated when the handle 9 is pulled down. The user can trigger the food dispensing simply by pulling the handle 9 lightly. The response time is short, and the ease of operation is significantly improved.

[0022] The external control board 8 integrates the control system's interactive interface, allowing users to manually set flavor ratios. Combined with the temperature sensor inside the mixing tank 14 and the linkage control of the refrigeration system, the entire process is automated. This design not only reduces the difficulty of manual operation but also adapts to various scenarios such as home and commercial use. Furthermore, the modular internal structure effectively saves installation space, making the equipment easy to place in small shops or kitchens.

[0023] This invention enables efficient production and personalized blending of multiple flavors of ice cream. Independent ingredient containers and a dustproof, sealed design ensure the purity of the ingredients. The spiral blade structure of the stirring and pushing component and the closed-loop refrigeration system ensure a smooth texture and rapid freezing of the ice cream. The dual solenoid valve control and handle linkage mechanism of the mixing and dispensing system enhance operational convenience and proportioning accuracy. The equipment as a whole balances automated control with scene adaptability. It simplifies manual intervention through the control panel and its compact layout is suitable for both home and commercial settings, providing an innovative solution for the standardized and efficient production of multiple flavors of ice cream.
