The present invention discloses an electrothermal ultrasonic cleaning ice cream scoop, and relates to the technical field of ultrasonic cleaning. The electrothermal ultrasonic cleaning ice cream scoop can be started by long pressing a button switch for two seconds. After starting, a heating element is driven by a lithium battery for heating operation until the temperature reaches 45° C., an LED lamp turns blue at the same time, and the ice cream scoop can be used directly. After use, the aluminum alloy scoop is put into clean water when needing to be cleaned, the button switch is double clicked to make the lithium battery drive a sonic motor to run.

An ice cream scoop having a heat transfer fluid with a high specific heat and a fluid stirring device, having: at least one scoop body, which includes a scoop portion with high thermal conductivity and a handle portion that is connected to the scoop portion along the length direction, wherein the handle portion is formed with at least one cavity in communication with the scoop portion; a heat transfer fluid filled in the cavity, the heat transfer fluid having a specific heat higher than that of the scoop portion; at least one group of heat sink fins connected with the cavity, the group of heat sink fins being disposed along the length direction opposite the scoop portion; and at least one fluid stirring device, which is at least partially extended into the cavity so as to facilitate convection of the fluid along the length direction.

A portioning device includes an integrated handle, actuating lever, and rack with teeth, with the handle having an aperture at the top. The rack is formed to be easily placed, and retained, in an initial position for assembly. One or more scoops are provided which may each be detachably connected the handle top end. A wiping blade may be detachably connected to the scoop for free rotation within the scoop. The wiping blade includes a shaft having a number of gear teeth, together with a camming surface leading to the first tooth on the shaft. Insertion of the scoop and wiping blade shaft into the handle aperture results in the first rack tooth acting as a camming surface and rotating the wiping blade to the proper clocking position with the first tooth of the shaft engaged with the first tooth of the rack. In this manner the number of component parts is reduced significantly, while at the same time allowing for re-use of the handle with the various interchangeable scoops.

A heated scooping device provides efficient handling of dense comestibles. The device comprises a head portion having a bowl section and rim. The head portion may be affixed to a handle portion extending from the head portion. A heating means including a heating unit and heating element supplies electricity to rim portion fashioned with the heating element. Power is supplied to the heating means via a power means found in the device. A retainer positioned between the bowl section and heating element stabilizes and isolates the heating element from the bowl section. A method for manufacturing a heated scooping device includes affixing a handle portion to a head portion having a bowl section and rim, providing a heating means to heat a portion of the rim, and positioning a retainer between the bowl section and the heating element for electrically and thermally isolating the heating element from the bowl section.

A ladle includes a handle, a cup, a squeegee mechanism with a sweeping arm, a trigger assembly, and a handle of the trigger assembly which causes the operation of the squeegee mechanism. The handle has a proximal end configured for gripping by a user and a distal end. The cup is coupled to the distal end of the handle. The squeegee mechanism is associated with the handle and the cup. The squeegee mechanism includes a sweeping arm pivotally connected to the cup and disposed adjacent an exterior of the cup and a trigger assembly supported on the handle and connected to the sweeping arm. The trigger assembly is configured to actuate the squeegee mechanism to sweep the sweeping arm along the exterior of the cup.

A cooking system includes a kitchen utensil and a cooking hob, wherein the kitchen utensil is provided with one or more sensors arranged on the kitchen utensil. The sensors include acceleration sensors, gyroscopic sensors, and inclination sensors. The cooking appliance is provided with a control unit configured to receive data from the sensors and to elaborate information on how the kitchen utensil is being used, and to control the cooking appliance accordingly.

An ice cream scooping system includes an ice cream scooping device with a handle and a bowl located at one end of the handle and which has inner and outer surfaces and an outer rim. An ultrasonic generation system is coupled to at least a portion of the bowl and has at least an engaged state configured to generate ultrasonic waves and a disengaged state without the generation of the ultrasonic waves.

A self-serve kiosk system comprising a controller interfacing an order configuration interface and a scoop subsystem comprising a robotic arm having a scoop mechanism at a distal end thereof. The scoop mechanism has a coplanar rim about the interior and the controller controls the robotic arm in a particular manner to position the scoop mechanism in relation to an ice cream container in accordance with an order received via the order configuration interface, to lower the scoop mechanism into the ice cream container and to stroke until the coplanar rim hits flat against an opposing inner side wall surface of the container thereby entrapping a fixed volume of ice cream between the opposing inner side wall surface and the interior of the scoop so that a fixed volume of ice cream can be extracted from the ice cream container for dispensing.
