Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a stirring machine for ice cream, etc., which stirs ice cream and other confectionery materials such as tiocolate and kutsky, or fruits such as bananas and strawberries. It can be used as a stirrer for mixing, and also as a stirrer for other dairy products, paste products, etc.

2. Description of the Related Art An extrusion spiral is rotated within an extrusion cylinder, and the material is transferred from a supply hopper side toward an extrusion hole at the tip of the extrusion cylinder, agitated, and extruded from the extrusion hole.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In a stirring mode where a small amount of ingredients are stirred for each serving such as ice cream and taken out into a small-capacity ice cream cup or middle cup, an extrusion spiral is incorporated. Increasing the capacity of the extrusion tube increases the amount of material remaining, which is uneconomical as excess material must be supplied.

Means for Solving the Problems This first invention provides a cup 3 that has an extrusion hole 1 at the bottom and is supported by a machine body 2 to receive materials such as ice cream. 4
The extrusion spiral 5 descends from above while rotating around the cup 3, stirs the material in the cup 3, and extrudes it from the extrusion hole 1. The agitator for ice cream or the like is configured such that the extrusion spiral 5 is guided up and down and the extrusion spiral 5 is fitted into the guide tube 6 during the ascent.

The second invention is to form a cup 3 having an extrusion hole 1 at the bottom and receiving a material such as ice cream into a plurality of strips by shifting the phase of the notches 37 on the peripheral edge around the same axis 4. an extrusion spiral 5 that stirs the material in the cup 3 and extrudes it from the extrusion hole 1 while moving and fitting in the cup 3 relative to each other in the axial direction;
This is the configuration of a stirrer for ice cream, etc., which is equipped with a.

Effect of the Invention When the extrusion spiral 5 is raised, the extrusion spiral 5 is inserted into the guide cylinder 6, and material such as ice cream or fruit is supplied to the lower cup 3, and the extrusion spiral 5 is rotated. When the cup 3 is lowered from the guide tube 6 into the cup 3 while being transmitted, the ice cream and fruit in the cup 3 are stirred, and the fruit-mixed ice cream is pushed out of the bottom of the cup 3. It is extruded from hole 1. A predetermined amount is received at the lower side of the extrusion hole 1 with an ice cone cup or the like.

When the extrusion spiral 5 is formed into a plurality of threads and the notches 37 on the peripheral edge thereof are provided with different phases in the direction around the axis, the notches 37 enhance the stirring effect of the material, and the material is removed from the notches 37. Since the material portion that has escaped upward is pressed down by the upper spiral edge, the downward pressing effect is not significantly reduced.

When the ice cream in the cup 3 runs out, the extrusion spiral 5 is raised. The extrusion spiral 5 is raised along the axis 4 and inserted into the original guide tube 6 again.

Effects of the Invention As described above, in the first invention, since the cup 3 for receiving the material such as ice cream is located at the lower fixed position, it is easy to receive the ice cream extruded from the extrusion hole 1 under the cup 3. Yes, extrusion spiral 5
is fitted into a guide tube 6 around the upper shaft 4, and is covered with this guide tube 6 when not in use for sanitary purposes.
In addition, the shaft 4 of the extrusion spiral 5, which can be raised and lowered, can be guided along the inside of the guide tube 6, and the guide tube 6 can be made as long as possible to stably maintain the shaft 4 and the extrusion spiral 5, resulting in miniaturization. be able to.

In the second invention, the material stirring effect is enhanced by the notch 37 of the extrusion spiral 5, and the notch 37 is formed with a phase shift in the direction around the axis. It is possible to prevent the deterioration of the extrusion effect of the material and to extrude it from the extrusion hole 1 quickly.

FIG. 9 shows the contacts of the motor 13 that are turned on and off by turning the handle 24. A cam 40 is provided on the shaft 39 of the handle 24 so as to rotate together with the cam 40. Contact points 41 and 42 of a motor 13 consisting of a micro switch are arranged in the rotation area, and when the contact point 41 is turned on by a cam 40, the motor 13 is reversed and the extrusion spiral 5 is directed in the direction of extruding the material downward. is rotated in the opposite direction, contact 4
2 is turned on, the motor 13 switches to normal rotation, and the extrusion spiral 5 is rotated in the direction of extruding the material downward. These forward and reverse switching rotations of the extrusion spiral 5 are related to the operating angle of the handle 24, and in the initial stroke (FIG. 5) when the extrusion spiral 5 is inserted into the cup 3, the cam 40 enters the contact point 41. In the process of reverse rotation and lowering and fitting (FIG. 6), the contact 42 is brought into contact to transmit forward rotation. Further, when the extrusion spiral 5 descends and rises with the return of the handle 24, the contact 41 is momentarily turned on and the motor 13 does not rotate in the reverse direction. or,
When this extrusion spiral 5 rises, the contact point 41 or 4
It may be configured to cut 2.

In the position where the handle 24 is rotated to the upper end as shown in FIG. 1, the extrusion spiral 5 escapes upward from the cup 3 and is housed in the lower end of the guide tube 6. In this state, from the opening 7 into the cup 3,
Materials such as ice cream and fruit are supplied in predetermined amounts, and the handle 24 is rotated downward.

When the extrusion helix 5 is inserted into the cup 3, during this initial stroke the contact 41 is turned on and the motor 1 is turned on.
3 is reversely rotated and rotated in the opposite direction via the belt 15, inner shaft 16, outer shaft 17, etc. (Figs.
Figure 5). The material in the cup 3 is scraped upward by the reverse rotation of the extrusion spiral 5, starting a stirring action.

When the extrusion spiral 5 is further lowered by operating the handle 24, the contact 42 is turned on and the direction of rotation by the motor 13 is switched to the normal rotation direction, working in the direction of extruding the material in the cup 3 downward. At this time, the stirring effect of material A is good. In this way, when the extrusion spiral 5 is lowered by forward rotation, the extrusion spiral 5 extrudes the ice cream from the extrusion hole 1.
If a cup such as an ice cream cone is held under the extrusion hole 1 by hand, the ice cream can be filled into the ice cream cone.

When the material A in the cup 3 is extruded, the extrusion spiral 5 is raised by rotating the handle 24 upward, and the guide tube 6 above the cup 3 is raised.
inserted inside. Further, the transmission of this extrusion spiral 5 is also stopped.

When using the extrusion spiral 5 having a notch 37 as shown in FIG. 7 or 8, the stirring effect is enhanced, but the material that escapes upward through this notch 37 is located above this notch 37. The material is extruded downward by the helical edge, and therefore does not significantly reduce the extrusion rate during material extrusion.

In addition, in the second invention, the extrusion spiral 5 may be provided at a certain height position, and the cup 3 may be raised and fitted, and the guide cylinder 6 may be placed in the raised position of the extrusion spiral 5. It does not have to be provided in a relationship that fits into the inside.
