[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice cream production technology, specifically to the feeding and discharging structure of an ice cream mixing and stirring device. Background Technology

[0002] Ice cream production requires the use of a mixing and stirring device to blend the ingredients; however, the following problems have been found during the use of this mixing and stirring device: First, the feed inlet is prone to clogging, especially for high-viscosity raw materials (such as nut butter and fruit pieces). Second, there are defects in the quantitative control of the discharge, and the manual valve control has large errors, which affects product standardization. Therefore, it is necessary to invent a feeding and discharging structure for an ice cream mixing and stirring device. Summary of the Invention

[0018] 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.

[0019] See attached document Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 7 The present invention provides a feeding and discharging structure for an ice cream mixing and stirring device, comprising a mixing and stirring device body 1, a U-shaped frame 2 fixedly connected to the top of the mixing and stirring device body 1, a discharge pipe 20 fixedly embedded in the discharge port of the mixing and stirring device body 1, and a flow meter 3 and an electronic switching valve 21 fixedly mounted on the discharge pipe 20. The top of the U-shaped frame 2 is equipped with a hopper 4. A grid plate 5 is fixedly connected inside the hopper 4. Two connecting plates 6 are fixedly connected to both sides of the hopper 4. Two springs 7 are fixedly connected between the two connecting plates 6 and the U-shaped frame 2. Vibration motors 8 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the hopper 4. Material pipes 9 are fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame 2 and the bottom of the discharge pipe 20. One of the material pipes 9 is fixedly connected to the hopper 4 with a rubber sleeve 10. The bottom end of one of the material pipes 9 is fixedly embedded in the feed inlet of the main body 1 of the mixing and stirring device. Both material pipes 9 are equipped with conveying components. In this embodiment, a grid plate 5 is designed in the hopper 4, and a vibration motor 8 is provided on the front and rear sides of the hopper 4. When in use, the vibration motor 8 can make the hopper 4 and the grid plate 5 vibrate, which can achieve the effect of shaking the raw materials. Then the shaken raw materials fall through the grid plate 5 into the main body 1 of the mixing and stirring device. By shaking the materials, the blockage caused by the materials agglomerating can be avoided when feeding. In order to increase the stability of the upper material pipe 9, the device adopts the following technical solution: the inner walls of both sides of the U-shaped frame 2 are fixedly connected with reinforcing rods 11, and the inner ends of the two reinforcing rods 11 are fixedly connected to one of the material pipes 9. The reinforcing rods 11 can increase the stability of the upper material pipe 9. To accelerate the flow of raw materials, the device employs the following technical solution: The conveying assembly includes a housing 12, which is fixedly embedded in the material pipe 9. One side of the housing 12 is open. A support rod 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the material pipe 9. A rotating shaft 14 is embedded in the support rod 13. The top of the rotating shaft 14 extends into the housing 12. A spiral blade 15 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 14. The spiral blade 15 fits against the inner wall of the material pipe 9. A servo motor 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the housing 12. A rotating shaft 17 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 16. The rotating shaft 17 passes through the other side of the housing 12. A bevel gear 18 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 17. A bevel gear 19 meshes with the bottom of the bevel gear 18. The bevel gear 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 14. In order to reduce wear, the device adopts the following technical solution: the first rotating shaft 14 is connected to the housing 12 and the support rod 13 through a sealed bearing, and the second rotating shaft 17 is connected to the housing 12 through a sealed bearing. The connection through the sealed bearing can not only reduce wear, but also prevent raw materials from entering the bearing. In order to prevent raw materials from remaining on the top of the shell 12, the device adopts the following technical solution: the top of the shell 12 is made into a sharp shape, which can prevent raw materials from remaining on the top of the shell 12.

[0020] The usage process of this utility model is as follows: When feeding, ice cream raw materials are added into the hopper 4. Then, the two vibration motors 8 on the hopper 4 are controlled to work. Then, under the action of the four springs 7 and the two connecting plates 6, the hopper 4 and the grid plate 5 can vibrate, which can achieve the effect of shaking the raw materials. Then, the shaken raw materials pass through the grid plate 5 and fall into the mixing and stirring device body 1 through the rubber sleeve 10 and the upper material pipe 9. In this way, the feeding work can be realized. By shaking the materials, the blockage caused by the materials clumping can be avoided during feeding. When discharging material, the electronic switch valve 21 on the discharge pipe 20 is opened, and the raw material can then be discharged through the discharge pipe 20 and the material pipe 9 below. Since a flow meter 3 is designed on the discharge pipe 20, and the flow meter 3 is a Coriolis flow meter, the flow meter 3 can monitor the instantaneous flow rate and cumulative flow rate of the medium in the discharge pipe 20 in real time during the discharge process. Based on the set quantitative discharge target value, the cumulative flow rate fed back by the flow meter 3 is compared. When the cumulative flow rate reaches the set value, the electronic switch valve 21 on the discharge pipe 20 is closed, thereby completing the quantitative discharge, reducing errors, and ensuring product standardization. The operation of the conveying components can be controlled during feeding and discharging. Since two conveying components work on the raw material system, the following example uses a single auxiliary component. Controlling the servo motor 16 can make the rotating shaft 17 rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 17 drives the bevel gear 18 to rotate, the rotation of the bevel gear 18 drives the bevel gear 19 to rotate, the rotation of the bevel gear 19 drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 14 can make the spiral blade 15 rotate, thus conveying the material and increasing the feeding and discharging speed. In this application, the model and specifications of the vibration motor 8, servo motor 16, electronic switching valve 21, and flow meter 3 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, so the specific model and specifications will not be described in detail. In addition, the electrical control of the above-mentioned components and its principle are clear to those skilled in the art, so the electrical control method and circuit connection will not be described in detail. Furthermore, the stirring structure of the main body 1 of the mixing and stirring device is common knowledge in the prior art, and any structure that can satisfy the stirring requirement is applicable, so it will not be mentioned in this application.

[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.
