DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for softening a frozen ice cream in a large container and a stirrer for facilitating dispensing of the frozen ice cream with a disher or a bowler.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when dispensing ice cream from a large container using a disher or a bowler, even if the temperature of the ice cream is −15 ° C., if the tissue is solidified,
At present, the ice cream is filled with the tip of a disher or the like after being scraped several times with a tip of the disher or the like.

[0003]

As described above, scraping with a dasher or the like requires a considerable amount of force, and sometimes causes deformation of the dasher, which is problematic in terms of time and labor. In addition, if the temperature of the ice cream is raised without human power, dispensing becomes easier, but the quality of the ice cream may be reduced. Therefore, it is not preferable to raise the temperature of the ice cream.

[0004]

The present invention has solved the above-mentioned conventional problems by mechanically partially stirring the ice cream.

[0005] Ice cream in a large container is solidified during frozen storage (about -15 ° C). When this is transferred to a store stocker (−15 ° C. to −17 ° C.), if it is partially stirred once, air is mixed into the ice cream and does not solidify again. Become. The present invention utilizes the characteristics of the ice cream described above and facilitates dispensing by mechanical stirring.

That is, the invention of the method is a method for softening a frozen ice cream in a large container, wherein the frozen ice cream is partially stirred by a stirring means and stirred.
In addition, the stirring means is configured such that a blade is protruded from a low-speed rotating shaft, and a tip of the rotating shaft is used as a guide rod. Next, the invention of the machine is characterized in that a stirring blade is protruded from a rotating shaft connected to the reversible rotating means, and a guide rod is provided at a tip of the rotating shaft. It is a chemical stirrer. The rotating means is a motor, but a manual input method may be adopted. Further, the rotating shaft can be connected to the flexible shaft.

[0007] The stirrer in the above is preferably a small and lightweight stirrer, and the shape of the blade is thin (for example, the width is 15 mm or less) in order to minimize scattering of ice cream.
Low speed rotation (for example, 300 rpm to 40 at 350 watts)
0 r.pm), and it is necessary to rotate reversibly. For example, when pulling the feather out of the ice cream,
Get out smoothly. The tip of the rotating shaft (below the blade)
If a guide rod is provided in the, a predetermined position can be stirred with good stability. Furthermore, by making the rotation axis hexagonal (cross-section like a square pencil), the connection with the drill can be ensured.

As the agitator, for example, a structure in which a small blade (for example, a diameter of 70 mm) is attached to a hand-held drill can sufficiently achieve the purpose.

[0009]

According to the present invention, the frozen ice cream is mechanically agitated, so that an air layer is formed between the ice creams so that the ice cream becomes a soft form that can be easily dispensed with a disher or the like and does not freeze again. Since the stirrer of the present invention is small, it can be operated with one hand, and can partially stir the ice cream easily, so that the object can be achieved in a relatively short time.

[0010]

Embodiment 1 A stirrer having two blades 3 protruded diametrically (diameter: 80 mm) at the tip of a rotating shaft 2 at 300 rpm by a motor is set upright at a predetermined position on the upper surface of ice cream. When a lower pressure is applied to the rotating shaft 2 while rotating the rotating shaft 2, the ice cream is agitated within a range slightly larger than the diameter of the blade 3. Continue the lower pressure until the tip approaches the bottom of the container. If the depth mark 7 is provided on the upper part of the rotating shaft 2, there is no possibility that the bottom of the container is damaged by the tip of the guide rod 4. The motor in the above is 100V, 350w, 0
変 速 1100 rpm, variable speed and reversible rotation, weighs about 2.0 kg.

In the above description, the smaller the rotation of the blade 3, the smaller the amount of ice cream scattered, but the smaller the diameter of the blade 3 is 80 mm.
If the rotation speed is slower than 300 rpm in the case of, the motor may stop when the blade is buried in the ice cream. Therefore, if the motor capacity is set to 350 watts or more, low-speed rotation can be performed with an increase in the capacity. However, the total weight of the stirrer increases, which hinders one-handed operation, and therefore there is a restriction on its own. If the diameter of the blade 3 is reduced, the speed can be reduced and the amount of scattering is small, but the efficiency is reduced. Therefore, practically, the rotation speed is 300 rpm.
At 0 rpm, the diameter of the blade is between 60 mm and 80 mm.

[0012]

[Embodiment 2] A guide rod 4 is provided at the tip of a rotating shaft 2 protruding from a stirrer main body 1, and a blade 3 is diametrically projected behind the guide rod. The blade 3 had a diameter of 80 mm and a width of 15 mm, and provided a stirrer 8 with a slight lead (20 degrees).

In order to use the stirrer 8, the ice cream container is placed in the fixing device 12, fixed to the sink 13, and then the rotating shaft 2 is moved to a predetermined position of the ice cream 6 as shown in FIG. Press vertically. In this case, the pushing force is adjusted in consideration of the resistance force applied to the blade 3. When the rotating shaft 2 sinks to the depth mark 7, switch off the motor,
Switch to reverse rotation and pull out the rotating shaft gently.

The container 5 shown in FIG.
It is 0 mm, but for this area, if the blade is pushed twice and agitated, it can be easily taken out to the corner by the disher 11 or the bowler 10. In the above embodiment, the diameter of the blade is 80 mm, and the rotation axis is 300 r.
Rotated at pm. The smaller the blades, the slower the rotation speed, the smaller the amount of ice cream scattered, but there is a limitation in relation to efficiency. In addition, by increasing the diameter of the blades and slowing down the number of rotations, the amount of ice cream scattered can be suppressed without lowering the efficiency, but if the number of rotations is reduced, the rotational resistance of the blades increases, Since the motor stops, it is necessary to increase the capacity of the motor or attach a reduction gear. Therefore, the weight is inevitably increased, and there is a possibility that the device is not a handy type. Considering the case where the operator is a female employee, the total weight is preferably within 2.0 kg. Therefore, the diameter of the blade is about 80 mm, and the rotation speed is also about 300 rpm. However, if the above restrictions can be cleared, the size and the number of rotations are not necessarily limited.

[0015]

Embodiment 3 This embodiment is similar to Embodiment 2 of FIG.
A flexible shaft 9 is interposed between the motor shaft and the rotating shaft 2. In this embodiment, FIG.
The stirrer main body shown in (1) is fixed on an appropriate table, and the rotating shaft 2 can be moved to the ice cream for stirring. Therefore, low-speed and high-efficiency stirring can be realized without considering the total weight. In the figure, reference numeral 14 denotes a bearing.

[0016]

According to the present invention, since the frozen ice cream (the same applies to the sherbet) is mechanically stirred, there is an effect that it can be easily taken out with a disher or the like. Since the stirrer according to the present invention has blades protruding from the rotating shaft,
Although the stirring range is cylindrical, it is not necessary to stir to the corner of the container because of the influence. Therefore, the same effect can be achieved whether the ice cream container is square or circular. The use of a flexible rotating shaft has the effect of further simplifying the operation.
