- the timer 24 outputs a signal to the input / output control unit 36, so that the input / output control unit 36 starts the control operation of the initial stirring and the drive unit 26 Outputs ON signal to.
- the drive unit 26 closes the circuit connecting the battery 2 to the motor 4 only while the ON signal is input, rotates the motor 4, and executes the initial stirring.
- the current detector 23 monitors the motor current, and detects the viscosity of the ice cream material A from the motor current that changes due to the change in the load of the motor 4 due to the change in the viscosity of the ice cream material.
- the current detection unit 23 detects that the viscosity of the ice cream material A has reached the first predetermined viscosity set in advance, the current detection unit 23 outputs a signal to the input / output control unit 36. Therefore, the input / output control unit 36 switches the ON / OFF control operation of the drive unit 26 from the initial stirring to the later stirring.
- the current detector 23 monitors the motor current, and when it is detected that the viscosity of the ice cream material A has reached the second predetermined viscosity, the current detector 23 is operated. Since the signal is output to the input / output control unit 36, the input / output control unit 36 determines that the ice cream is completed, stops the output of the ON signal to the drive unit 26, and ends the stirring control.
- the stirring control according to the fourth embodiment is characterized in that the times of the initial stirring and the late stirring are controlled, and as shown in FIG. No means for state detection is provided.
- the same reference numerals are given to the components, and the description thereof will be omitted.
- the timer 24 starts the powering for a predetermined standby time.
- the standby time is set assuming a time until the stirring container 11 is cooled by the low-temperature environment in the freezer and the ice cream material A drops to a predetermined temperature or lower.
- the timer 24 outputs a signal to the input / output control unit 37, so that the input / output control unit 37 starts the control operation of the initial stirring and the drive unit 26 Outputs ON signal.
- the drive unit 26 closes the circuit connecting the battery 2 to the motor 4 only while the ON signal is input, starts the motor 4 and starts the initial stirring.
- the initial stirring time t 1 is set in advance in the timer 24, and the input / output control unit 37 sends a ⁇ N signal to the drive unit 26 at the initial stirring time interval set by the timer 24. Then, the motor 4 is rotated for a predetermined time to stir the ice cream material A with the stirring blades 9 to perform a stirring operation for preventing separation of the fat and water of the ice cream material A having a low viscosity. Execute during the initial stirring time t1.
- the timer 24 When the initial stirring time t1 ends, the timer 24 outputs a signal of the end of the initial stirring to the input / output control unit 37, so that the input / output control unit 37 switches to the control of the late stirring.
- the timer 24 is preset with a late stirring time t2, and the input / output control unit 37 sends an ON signal to the driving unit 26 at the late stirring time interval set by the timer 24. Then, the motor 4 is rotated for a predetermined time, the ice cream material A is stirred by the stirring blade 9, and the ice cream material A, whose viscosity has increased, is stirred so as to contain air.
- the input / output control unit 37 determines that the ice cream is completed, and stops outputting the ON signal to the driving unit 26. The stirring control ends.
- the rotation of motor 4 or drive shaft 12 is Similar stirring control can also be performed by counting the number of times the ice cream material A is stirred by the rotating blades 9 from rolling.
- the stirring is performed according to the temperature and the viscosity of the ice cream material, so that the useless stirring operation is not performed, thereby reducing the consumption of the battery. It is suitable for producing high quality and high quality images.
- control is performed such that the stirring operation is not started until the refrigerator is cooled to a predetermined temperature or until a predetermined time has elapsed. No wasted power is consumed, and the stirring operation executes the initial stirring control and the late stirring control according to the state of the ice cream material.Therefore, sufficient air can be produced without separating fat and moisture. It is suitable for producing high quality ice cream at home.
