Detailed Description

For a clearer understanding of the technical features, objects and effects of the present invention, embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to identical or similar structural but functionally identical components throughout the separate views.

In this document, "schematic" means "serving as an example, instance, or illustration," and any illustrations, embodiments described herein as "schematic" should not be construed as a more preferred or advantageous solution.

Herein, "first", "second", etc. do not indicate the degree of importance or order thereof, etc., but merely indicate distinction from each other to facilitate description of documents.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of an exemplary embodiment of an extrusion apparatus for latticed ice cream, as shown in fig. 1, including: a first storage tank 10, a second storage tank 20, a feed shaft 30, a former 40, a forming hood 50 and a drive assembly 60. The first tank 10 has a first feed chamber 12 and a first feed opening 14. The second tank 20 has a second chamber 22 and a second inlet 24. The material conveying shaft 30 penetrates through the first material storage tank 10 and the second material storage tank 20. The former 40 is drivingly connected to the feed shaft 30. The former 40 has a feed end 41 and a discharge end 44, the feed end 41 being connectable to the feed shaft 30. The forming hood 50 is disposed on the discharge end 44 side of the former 40. The side of the forming hood 50 remote from the discharge end 44 is provided with a forming material outlet 52. The drive assembly 60 may drive the feed shaft 30 to rotate.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a feed shaft of the extrusion apparatus shown in fig. 1, and as shown in the drawing, the feed shaft 30 has: a feed chamber 32 located within the feed shaft 30, two feed ports 34 communicating the feed chamber 32 with the first feed chamber 12, and two discharge ports 36. In other exemplary embodiments, the number of ports and outlets may be adjusted as desired.

Referring to fig. 1, 3 and 4, fig. 3 and 4 are schematic structural views of an exemplary embodiment of a former of an extrusion apparatus, wherein fig. 3 mainly shows a feed end 41 and fig. 4 mainly shows a discharge end 44. The feed end 41 has two first injection openings 42 and two second injection openings 43. The discharge end 44 has a spacer 147, the spacer 147 separating two first forming cells 45 and two second forming cells 46 inside the discharge end 44, the first forming cells 45 being in communication with the feed chamber 32 through the first injection port 42 and the discharge port 36, and the second forming cells 46 being in communication with the second feed chamber 22 through the second injection port 43. In other exemplary embodiments of the former, the number of first and second injection ports, first and second forming cells may be adjusted as desired, but care should be taken to match the number of discharge ports.

In the present exemplary embodiment, the spacers 147 are distributed in a fan shape along the axis of the discharge end 44. In other exemplary embodiments, the spacer may be designed in different shapes depending on the product color requirements. For example, as shown in fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic view of another exemplary embodiment of a former of an extrusion apparatus, with spacers 247 being disposed parallel on either side of a diameter along discharge end 44.

Referring to fig. 1 and 5, fig. 5 is a partial cross-sectional view of the feed shaft of fig. 1 and the former of fig. 3 after assembly. The extrusion device is divided into a material injection step and a rotation step when in use, wherein the material injection step comprises the following steps: the first ice cream material A enters the first material cavity 12 from the first material inlet 14, enters the material conveying cavity 32 through the material conveying opening 34, and finally is injected into the first forming grid 45 through the material outlet 36 and the first material injection opening 42; the second ice cream material B enters the second material cavity 22 from the second material inlet 24 and is injected into the second forming grid 46 through the second material injection opening 43. After the first forming grid 45 and the second forming grid 46 are filled with ice cream, a rotation step is performed, specifically: the driving assembly 60 drives the feeding shaft 30 to rotate a set angle in the arrow direction shown in fig. 1, and then drives the former 40 to synchronously rotate. After the rotation step is completed, the material injection step is performed again, and the material injection step and the rotation step are performed alternately, so that the ice cream slices formed in the discharge end 44 of the first ice cream material A and the second ice cream material B injected each time are at the set angle with the ice cream slices formed last time, and a lattice layered structure is formed. Finally, the ice cream slices are spliced into a complete, grid-like ice cream in the forming hood 50 and output through the forming material outlet 52.

When the former shown in fig. 4 is used and the angle of each rotation of the feed shaft 30 and the former 40 is set to 90 deg., a latticed ice cream as shown in fig. 6 can be produced. When the former shown in fig. 7 is used and the angle of each rotation of the feed shaft 30 and the former 40 is set to 90 °, a latticed ice cream as shown in fig. 8 can be produced. In other exemplary embodiments, the angle of rotation may also be adjusted according to product color requirements.

In the present exemplary embodiment, the end of the feed shaft 30 connected to the former 40 is provided with a prismatic coupling shaft 38, and the former 40 is provided with a coupling groove 48 (see fig. 2 and 3) drivingly connected to the coupling shaft 38. The cooperation of the linkage shaft and the linkage groove can enable the material conveying shaft 30 to drive the former 40 to synchronously and stably rotate, and the color of the extruded latticed ice cream are easy to control and stable; and this construction allows for the replacement of different formers during use to achieve either the production of a layered ice cream with different colors on the same extrusion device or the matching of multiple colors on one ice cream.

In the present exemplary embodiment, a trough 39 (see fig. 2) is provided on a sidewall of the material conveying shaft 30 corresponding to the second material injection opening 43, so that the ice cream material in the second material cavity 22 can smoothly enter the second material injection opening 43.

In the exemplary embodiment of the former shown in fig. 4, the end of the spacer 147 facing the forming hood 50 is wedge-shaped so that the ice cream sheet formed in the former 40 can smoothly enter the forming hood 50.
