[0043] EMBODIMENT

[0044] Referring to Figures 1-9 The present application provides an ice cube storage device, which comprises an ice cube storage assembly 200, a mounting support 500 and an ice cube storage assembly 700;

[0045] One end of the first direction of the mounting bracket 500 is provided with the ice block storage component 200, and the other end is provided with the ice block delivery component 700;

[0046] The mounting bracket 500 is provided with a track lifting component 110 and a lifting ice pushing track 300. The track lifting component 110 is connected with the lifting ice pushing track 300. The track lifting component 110 is used to move the lifting ice pushing track 300 in the third direction.

[0047] The lifting ice pushing track 300 is provided with an ice pushing component 100. The ice pushing component 100 is used to push the ice blocks on the ice block storage component 200 into the ice storage 400 and push the ice blocks in the ice storage 400 into the ice block delivery component 700.

[0048] The lifting ice pushing track 300 includes two guide grooves 303 arranged in the first direction. The two guide grooves 303 are arranged at the two ends of the second direction of the mounting bracket 500.

[0049] The lower end of the guide groove 303 is provided with a side ice blocking plate 304. A limiting ice plate 305 is arranged between the two side ice blocking plates 304. The limiting ice plate 305 is arranged at the end of the side ice blocking plate 304 away from the ice block storage component 200.

[0050] The track lifting component 110 includes a driving mechanism 600, a driving piece 130, a transmission piece 120, and a lifting piece 160. The driving mechanism 600 is used to rotate the driving piece 130.

[0051] The guide groove 303 is screwed with a plurality of lifting pieces 160. The upper end of the guide groove 303 is provided with a transmission piece 120. The plurality of lifting pieces 160 are connected with the transmission piece 120.

[0052] The driving mechanism 600 is connected with the driving piece 130. The two ends of the driving piece 130 are respectively connected with one of the transmission pieces 120.

[0053] The first direction is the length direction of the mounting bracket 500. The second direction is the width direction of the mounting bracket 500. The third direction is the height direction of the mounting bracket 500.

[0054] In some embodiments, the ice block storage device is used to transport the ice blocks into the ice block storage component 200 to a high place. The ice pushing component 100 is used to push the ice blocks on the ice block storage component 200 to the ice layer. In this way, the ice blocks are stored.

[0055] When the ice blocks need to be discharged, the ice blocks continue to move on the ice layer under the action of the ice pushing assembly 100 until they move to the ice block discharge assembly 700, and the ice block discharge assembly 700 moves the ice blocks out of the ice storage 400, so that the ice blocks are stored in the off-season and sold in the peak season, and the work efficiency is greatly improved compared with manual ice block moving.

[0056] In order to enable the ice pushing assembly 100 to push the ice blocks to the corresponding ice layer, the track lifting assembly 110 lifts the lifting ice pushing track 300 to the corresponding height, so that the ice pushing assembly 100 can abut against the ice blocks and push the ice blocks away from the ice block storage assembly 200 when the ice pushing assembly 100 moves on the lifting ice pushing track 300.

[0057] The ice blocks are stacked layer by layer, and after the ice pushing assembly 100 pushes the ice blocks away from the ice block storage assembly 200, the ice pushing assembly 100 does not continue to move, and after the ice blocks move to the ice layer, the ice blocks continue to move on the ice layer and are pushed by the next ice blocks, that is, the ice blocks move only a distance on the ice layer at a time.

[0058] In order to avoid the movement of the lower ice layer when the ice blocks are discharged from the ice storage 400, the side ice blocking plates 304 are arranged at the lower end of the guide groove 303, and the ice blocking plate 305 is arranged between the two side ice blocking plates 304.

[0059] The side ice blocking plates 304 are arranged on both sides of the second direction of the ice layer at the lower end of the ice layer pushed by the ice pushing assembly 100, and the ice blocking plate 305 is arranged at the end away from the ice block storage assembly 200 in the first direction, so that the lower ice layer can be kept stable when the ice pushing assembly 100 pushes the ice blocks.

[0060] When the ice blocks are stored, the first limit stopper is arranged on the guide groove 303, and after the ice pushing forms a new ice layer on the ice layer, the ice blocks at the end away from the ice block storage assembly 200 trigger the first limit stopper, and the track lifting assembly 110 lifts the lifting ice pushing track 300 by one height of the ice blocks, so that the ice pushing assembly 100 can push the ice blocks on the ice block storage assembly 200 to above the ice layer.

[0061] The ice pushing assembly 100 comprises an ice pushing plate, an ice pushing machine and an ice pushing shaft, and the two ends of the ice pushing shaft are respectively provided with an ice pushing gear engaged with the rack 301; the ice pushing machine is arranged on the ice pushing plate, and the ice pushing machine is connected with the ice pushing shaft and rotates the ice pushing shaft.

[0062] One side of the ice pushing machine of the ice pushing assembly 100 is provided with an ice pushing plate, which is used to contact the ice blocks on the ice block storage assembly 200 and keep the multiple ice blocks moving in order.

[0063] The driving shaft of the ice pushing machine is connected with the ice pushing shaft through a cross shaft. The ice pushing machine rotates the ice pushing shaft. The ice pushing gear on the ice pushing shaft is engaged with the rack 301, so that the first ice pushing assembly 100 can move back and forth along the rack 301.

[0064] In order to limit the movement range of the ice pushing assembly 100, a second limiter and a third limiter are arranged on the guide groove 303. The second limiter is triggered when the ice pushing assembly 100 pushes the ice blocks in the ice block storage assembly 200 onto the ice layer. The ice pushing assembly 100 moves reversely to reset. When the third limiter is triggered, the ice pushing assembly 100 is reset.

[0065] Since the mounting bracket 500 has a long length, the ice pushing assembly 100 needs to move along the lifting ice pushing track 300 in the length direction of the mounting bracket 500, and the lifting ice pushing track 300 also has a long length. In order to make the lifting ice pushing track 300 more stably synchronously lift, a driving mechanism 600 is generally arranged, which is generally a driving motor. The driving shaft of the driving mechanism 600 is connected with the driving part 130, and the driving shaft and the driving part 130 are generally connected through a cross shaft coupling to realize cross transmission of the driving shaft and the driving part 130. The transmission part 120 is arranged along the length direction of the mounting bracket 500. The two ends of the driving part 130 are respectively connected with a transmission part 120. The connection between the driving part 130 and the transmission part 120 also adopts the connection of the cross shaft coupling to realize the cross transmission of the driving part 130 and the transmission part 120.

[0066] A plurality of lifting parts 160 are arranged in the length direction of the mounting bracket 500. The plurality of lifting parts 160 connected with the same guide groove 303 are connected with the same transmission part 120. The transmission part 120 synchronously rotates the plurality of lifting parts 160, and then the guide groove 303 synchronously lifts, that is, the driving mechanism 600 rotates the driving part 130, and the driving part 130 synchronously rotates the two transmission parts 120. In this way, the driving mechanism 600 can synchronously lift the two guide grooves 303, and then synchronously lift the lifting ice pushing track 300.

[0067] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 8 In an optional embodiment, the driving shaft of the driving mechanism 600 is screwed with the driving part 130. The two ends of the driving part 130 are respectively screwed with a transmission part 120. Each transmission part 120 is screwed with a plurality of lifting parts 160.

[0068] A rotary encoder is arranged on the transmission part 120. The driving mechanism 600 cooperates with the rotary encoder to control the lifting distance of the lifting ice pushing track 300.

[0069] Because the ice block is fixed in size, the height of each ice layer formed by stacking is fixed; the height at which the lifting and pushing ice track 300 stops is fixed, a rotary encoder is arranged on the transmission member 120, the lifting and pushing ice track 300 is judged according to the number of rotations of the transmission member 120, that is, the number of rotations of the transmission member 120 is fixed when the lifting and pushing ice track 300 is lifted by the height of an ice block, so that the rotary encoder cooperates with the driving mechanism 600 to accurately control the lifting and pushing ice track 300.

[0070] In an optional embodiment, a lower limit switch is arranged on the mounting bracket 500, and the lower limit switch is used to limit the descending range of the lifting and pushing ice track 300.

[0071] In order to avoid the position of the lifting and pushing ice track 300 from being too low, a lower limit switch is arranged on the mounting bracket 500, and the lower limit switch will stop or reverse the rotation of the driving mechanism 600 after contacting the guide groove 303, thereby avoiding the lifting and pushing ice track 300 from moving downward too low.

[0072] Reference Figure 5 In an optional embodiment, a plurality of support rods 180 are arranged on the mounting bracket 500 in a first direction, and a guide plate 170 is sleeved on the support rod 180, and the guide plate 170 is connected with the guide groove 303.

[0073] In an optional embodiment, the lifting and pushing ice track 300 further comprises a rack 301 and a balance bracket 302, and the rack 301 is arranged in the guide groove 303.

[0074] A gear is arranged on the ice pushing assembly 100 and engaged with the rack 301, and the ice pushing assembly 100 changes the direction of movement of the ice pushing assembly 100 on the lifting and pushing ice track 300 by changing the direction of rotation of the gear.

[0075] The two ends of the balance bracket 302 in the second direction are respectively connected with the guide grooves 303, and the height of the balance bracket 302 is higher than that of the ice pushing assembly 100.

[0076] A plurality of support rods 180 are arranged on the mounting bracket 500, and a guide plate 170 is arranged on the support rod 180, and the guide groove 303 is connected with the guide plate 170, so that the lifting and pushing ice track 300 moves along the support rod 180 during lifting and pushing, thereby ensuring that the lifting and pushing ice track 300 is vertically lifted and pushed.

[0077] In order to keep the two guide grooves 303 balanced and synchronously lifted and pushed, the two ends of the balance bracket 302 are respectively connected with one guide groove 303, and the balance bracket 302 makes the two guide grooves 303 form an integral whole.

[0078] A rack 301 is arranged in the guide groove 303, and a push ice gear on the push ice assembly 100 is engaged with the rack 301, and the push ice assembly 100 is reciprocated in the first direction by rotating the push ice gear in the forward and reverse directions.

[0084] An ice outlet push ice assembly 210 is arranged on the ice outlet lifting platform 220, and the ice outlet push ice assembly 210 is used to move the ice blocks on the ice outlet lifting platform 220 in the second direction and away from the ice outlet lifting platform 220.

[0085] The storage lifting assembly is connected with the storage lifting platform 150, and the storage lifting assembly can be a drive motor driving a winding and unwinding, a steel wire is wound on the winding and unwinding, and the steel wire is connected with the storage lifting platform 150, so as to realize the lifting of the storage lifting platform 150.

[0086] The ice storage lifting platform 150 is provided with an ice storage pushing assembly 140 at one end. When the ice blocks enter the ice storage lifting platform 150 from the ice inlet, the ice storage pushing assembly 140 pushes the ice blocks on the ice storage lifting platform 150 in the second direction, thereby reducing the gaps between the ice blocks.

[0087] The ice storage lifting platform 150 is provided with a first ice blocking plate at a side away from the ice inlet and a second ice blocking plate at a side away from the ice storage pushing assembly 140. When the ice blocks slide onto the ice storage lifting platform 150, the first ice blocking plate prevents the ice blocks from sliding off the ice storage lifting platform 150.
