Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cold drink equipment technology, and in particular to a sealing structure for a water receiving tray and a shaved ice machine. Background Technology

[0002] When a shaved ice machine makes cold drinks, the liquid adheres to the surface and freezes under the rolling action of the evaporator to form an ice crystal mixture. The relative movement between the evaporator and the scraper causes the ice crystal mixture to be scraped off by the scraper blade.

[0003] During the operation of the shaved ice machine, the drip tray is generally used to hold the liquid and contact it with the evaporator, and to continuously supply liquid to the evaporator. In case of accidents, the liquid level may be too high, causing the liquid to overflow from both sides of the drip tray or the liquid to crawl along the side wall and fall outside the drip box due to surface tension. In this case, the solution in the drip tray will cause contamination of the machine and is not easy to clean.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a sealing structure for the water tray of the shaved ice machine to prevent the solution in the water tray from seeping out and contaminating the machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a sealing structure for a water receiving tray to prevent the solution in the water receiving tray from seeping out and contaminating the machine body.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a sealing structure for a water receiving tray, including a water receiving tray body, a housing, and a sealing element. The housing is provided with a receiving groove, the water receiving tray body is disposed in the receiving groove, and the receiving groove has bottom-opening slots on opposite sides. The sealing element covers the top edge of the water receiving tray body and engages with the slots.

[0007] As an improvement to the above solution, the top of the water receiving tray body is provided with a stirring chamber and a liquid inlet chamber communicating with the stirring chamber. The sealing member is provided on opposite sides of the stirring chamber, and the sealing member extends along the direction of the arrangement of the stirring chamber and the liquid inlet chamber.

[0008] As an improvement to the above solution, the side of the liquid inlet chamber away from the stirring chamber is provided with a slope, and the slope gradually rises in the direction away from the stirring chamber.

[0009] As an improvement to the above solution, the casing is provided with an evaporator, the cylinder wall of the evaporator extends into the stirring chamber, the liquid inlet chamber and the stirring chamber are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the evaporator, the bottom of the stirring chamber is lower than the bottom of the liquid inlet chamber, the stirring chamber is provided with a drain port, the liquid inlet chamber is provided with a liquid inlet, or the liquid inlet is provided above the liquid inlet chamber.

[0010] As an improvement to the above solution, the housing is provided with baffles on opposite sides of the receiving groove that are adapted to the two ends of the evaporator, and the slot is provided on the side of the baffle away from the evaporator.

[0011] As an improvement to the above solution, the seal passes through the slot and extends toward the liquid inlet.

[0012] As an improvement to the above solution, an overflow cylinder is formed on the water receiving tray body, and the opening at the top of the overflow cylinder is at a preset distance from the top of the periphery of the water receiving tray body.

[0013] As an improvement to the above solution, the stirring chamber is provided with a drain port, and the overflow cylinder is located between the inlet and the drain port.

[0014] As an improvement to the above solution, the overflow cylinder protrudes from the bottom surface of the water receiving tray body.

[0015] In addition, this utility model also discloses a snow ice machine based on the sealing structure of the above-mentioned water receiving tray, which includes a machine casing, a liquid storage tank, an evaporator, and a scraper. The evaporator is rotatably connected to the machine casing, the scraper is located on the outer side of the cylinder wall of the evaporator, and the liquid storage tank and / or the evaporator is located above the water receiving tray body.

[0016] Implementing this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This utility model discloses a sealing structure for a water receiving tray. By setting slots on opposite sides of the receiving groove of the water receiving tray body installed inside the casing, and setting the bottom opening of the slots, by covering the top edge of the water receiving tray with a sealing element and engaging the sealing element with the slots with the bottom opening, the water receiving tray body and the casing are sealed, preventing the solution and ice crystal mixture contained in the water receiving tray body from seeping out and causing contamination of the machine body.

[0018] The inlet chamber is sloped, making it easier for the solution flowing out of the inlet to converge into the stirring chamber. At the same time, the side with the slope is away from the stirring chamber, and the overflow tube makes it less prone to leakage at the slope. No other sealing components are needed to seal the slope, which helps to simplify the sealing structure of the water receiving tray. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses an embodiment of a sealing structure for a water receiving tray, including a water receiving tray body 1, a housing 2, and a sealing member 3. The housing 2 is provided with a receiving groove, and the top of the water receiving tray body 1 is provided with an opening. The water receiving tray body 1 is disposed in the receiving groove, and the receiving groove has a bottom opening slot 21 on both sides of the receiving groove. The sealing member 3 covers the top edge of the water receiving tray body 1 and engages with the slot 21.

[0026] In this embodiment, slots 21 are provided on opposite sides of the receiving groove of the water receiving tray body 1 installed inside the casing 2. The bottom opening of the slots 21 is provided. By covering the top edge of the water receiving tray with the sealing member 3 and engaging the sealing member 3 with the slot 21 with the bottom opening, the water receiving tray body 1 and the casing 2 are sealed, thus preventing the solution and ice crystal mixture contained in the water receiving tray body 1 from seeping out and causing contamination of the machine.

[0027] In this embodiment, the water tray serves as a container for holding the solution and the ice crystal mixture in the shaved ice machine. The top of the water tray body 1 is equipped with a stirring chamber 11, and an evaporator 4 is located on the upper part of the stirring chamber 11. The cylinder wall of the evaporator 4 extends into the stirring chamber 11, and the outer surface of the evaporator 4's cylinder wall can contact the solution inside the stirring chamber 11. To reduce solution fluctuations during shaved ice stirring, this embodiment preferably places the evaporator 4 across the receiving tank and rotatably mounted on the machine casing 2. The scraper 5 is fixedly mounted in the receiving tank and located on one side of the outer periphery of the evaporator 4, preventing the scraper 5 from disturbing the solution in the water tray body 1.

[0028] Specifically, the housing 2 has baffles 22 on opposite sides of the receiving groove, which are adapted to the two ends of the evaporator 4. The baffles 22 have shaft holes 221 adapted to the rotating shaft of the evaporator 4. The housing 2 has a motor connected to the rotating shaft of the evaporator 4. The evaporator 4 is driven by the motor to rotate relative to the baffles 22. The slot 21 is located on the side of the baffle 22 away from the evaporator 4.

[0029] In this embodiment, the housing 2 is also provided with mounting slots on both sides of the receiving slot. The water receiving tray body 1 is connected to the mounting slot of the housing 2 through a locking member, so as to realize the assembly of the water receiving tray body 1 and the housing 2.

[0030] The sealing element 3 has a U-shaped cross-section and is located on opposite sides of the stirring chamber 11, covering the top edge of the water receiving tray body 1 and abutting against the groove wall on the slot 21.

[0031] In this embodiment, a groove 13 is provided at the position where the sealing element 3 is set on the water receiving tray body 1, so as to realize the positioning and assembly of the sealing element 3 and the water receiving tray body 1.

[0032] In this embodiment, the top of the water receiving tray body 1 is also provided with a liquid inlet chamber 12 communicating with the stirring chamber 11. The liquid inlet chamber 12 and the stirring chamber 11 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the evaporator 4. The liquid inlet chamber 12 is provided with a liquid inlet, or a liquid inlet is provided above the liquid inlet chamber 12, to replenish the liquid inlet chamber 12 and the stirring chamber 11 with solution. In this embodiment, the casing 2 is also provided with a liquid storage tank 6. The bottom of the liquid storage tank 6 is provided with a liquid inlet 61, which is located above the liquid inlet chamber 12. The liquid inlet chamber 12 is provided with a liquid guide column 121, which is directly opposite to the liquid inlet 61 and extends into the liquid inlet 61, so as to guide the solution in the liquid storage tank 6 to the liquid inlet chamber 12.

[0033] The bottom of the stirring chamber 11 is lower than the bottom of the liquid inlet chamber 12 so that when the solution near the evaporator 4 freezes and forms an ice crystal mixture, the solution in the stirring chamber 11 can be replenished in time.

[0034] The stirring chamber 11 is provided with a drain port 111, and the drain port 111 is provided with a drain valve to drain the remaining solution in the water receiving tray body 1 when needed.

[0035] In this embodiment, the evaporator 4 covers the liquid inlet chamber 12 on the projected portion of the top of the water receiving tray body 1 to provide a larger evaporation surface. The seal 3 passes through the slot 21 and extends towards the liquid inlet.

[0036] To maintain a stable liquid level in the stirring chamber 11 and help the evaporator 4 stably generate ice crystal mixture, an overflow cylinder 122 is formed on the water receiving tray body 1 in this embodiment. The overflow cylinder 122 protrudes towards the bottom of the liquid inlet tank, and the opening at the top of the overflow cylinder 122 is at a preset distance from the top of the periphery of the water receiving tray body 1.

[0037] The liquid inlet chamber 12 has a ramp 123 on the side away from the stirring chamber 11, and the ramp 123 gradually rises in the direction away from the stirring chamber 11. The overflow cylinder 122 is located between the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet 111 to discharge excess solution flowing into the stirring chamber 11 in a timely manner. The ramp 123 in the liquid inlet chamber 12 makes it easier for the solution flowing out of the liquid inlet to converge into the stirring chamber 11. At the same time, the side with the ramp 123 is away from the stirring chamber 11, and the overflow cylinder 122 makes it less likely for leakage to occur at the ramp 123. There is no need to set other sealing elements 3 to seal the ramp 123, which helps to simplify the sealing structure of the water receiving tray body 1.

[0038] To prevent the solution flowing out of the overflow cylinder 122 from flowing along the outer wall of the water receiving tray body 1 and further contaminating the casing 2, the overflow cylinder 122 in this embodiment is provided to protrude from the bottom surface of the water receiving tray body 1, and a guide groove is provided below the overflow cylinder 122 in the casing 2 of this embodiment.

[0039] In addition, this utility model also discloses a snow ice machine based on the sealing structure of the above-mentioned water receiving tray, which includes a housing 2, a liquid storage tank 6, an evaporator 4, and a scraper 5. The evaporator 4 is rotatably connected to the housing 2, and the scraper 5 is located on the outer side of the cylinder wall of the evaporator 4. The liquid storage tank 6 and / or the evaporator 4 are located above the water receiving tray body 1.

[0040] The above-disclosed embodiment is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
