Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of snow melting machines, and in particular to a high-efficiency ice-making device for snow melting machines. Background Art
[0002] A snow melt machine, also known as a slush machine, is a food processing equipment used to make smoothies or smoothie drinks. When in use, first pour liquids such as juice and dairy products into the snow melt machine. After a period of ice making and stirring, the liquid can form a smoothie-like solid-liquid mixture for people to enjoy. The refrigeration devices used in existing snow melt machines are mostly refrigeration rollers. The refrigeration rollers are in contact with the liquid and the liquid is cooled by cold conduction, which eventually makes the liquid appear in the shape of a smoothie. However, the existing refrigeration rollers are only provided with a cooling surface on the outermost layer. The liquid can only form heat exchange when in contact with the cooling surface. When there is more liquid or the external temperature is high, the refrigeration efficiency is often relatively low, and the waiting time will also be extended, which is not conducive to the forming and sales of smoothies. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the invention

[0009] Specifically, the second stirring member includes a second support rod and a second ice scraping blade, the second ice scraping blade is arranged on the second support rod, the second support rod is located in the second ice making area, and the second ice scraping blade is closely arranged in the second ice making area.
[0010] Specifically, an ice scraping driving member is arranged on the refrigeration roller, the ice scraping driving member is transmission-connected to the second stirring member, and the first stirring member is transmission-connected to the second stirring member.
[0011] Specifically, a temperature measuring hole is arranged on the refrigeration roller, and a temperature measuring rod is arranged in the temperature measuring hole.
[0012] Specifically, the roller body is cylindrical, the cross-section of the hollow hole is circular, and openings connected to the hollow hole are respectively arranged at both ends of the roller body to form a cooling channel.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a high-efficiency ice-making device for a snow melt machine includes a refrigeration roller 10, on which a first ice-making area 11 and a second ice-making area 12 are arranged, and a first stirring member 16 and a second stirring member 17 are arranged on the refrigeration roller 10, wherein the first stirring member 16 is arranged in the first ice-making area 11, and the second stirring member 17 is arranged in the second ice-making area 12. When making a smoothie, the mixed beverage liquid to be made is poured into the refrigeration space of the snow melt machine, at which time the mixed beverage liquid contacts the refrigeration roller 10, and heat exchanges are performed in the first ice-making area 11 and the second ice-making area 12 respectively. The contact area of the refrigeration roller 10 with the mixed beverage liquid is greatly enlarged through the first ice-making area 11 and the second ice-making area 12, and then cooperates with the first stirring member 16 located in the first ice-making area 11 and the second stirring member 17 located in the second ice-making area 12 to improve the heat exchange efficiency between the refrigeration roller 10 and the mixed beverage liquid, thereby greatly improving the forming speed of the smoothie.
[0024] The refrigeration roller 10 includes a roller body 13, which is made of a heat-conducting material. A first ice-making area 11 is formed on the outer surface of the roller body 13, and a hollow hole 14 is provided in the middle of the roller body 13 to form a second ice-making area 12 on the inner wall of the roller body 13. In this embodiment, the roller body 13 is made of food-grade stainless steel, and a hollow hole 14 is formed in the middle of the roller body 13, so that a first ice-making area 11 with a larger area is formed on the outer surface of the roller body 13, and a second ice-making area 12 with a smaller area is formed on the inner wall of the roller body 13. The first ice-making area 11 and the second ice-making area 12 cooperate to increase the overall ice-making area of the refrigeration roller 10, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0025] A refrigeration pipe 15 is wound along the axial direction of the roller body 13, so that the outer wall and the inner wall of the roller body 13 adjacent to the refrigeration pipe 15 are respectively formed into the first ice-making area 11 and the second ice-making area 12. In this embodiment, a refrigeration pipe 15 is wound along the axial direction of the roller body 13, and the roller body 13 is refrigerated by the refrigeration pipe 15. At the same time, the winding direction of the refrigeration pipe 15 is closely wound along the extended axis of the roller body 13, thereby facilitating the improvement of the overall temperature balance of the roller body 13, and thereby improving the efficiency of the refrigeration pipe 15.
[0026] A refrigeration cavity is provided in the roller body 13, and a refrigeration pipe 15 is provided in the refrigeration cavity. A metal aluminum block is cast in the refrigeration cavity, and the refrigeration pipe 15 is located in the metal aluminum block. In this embodiment, a refrigeration cavity is provided in the roller body 13, and the refrigeration pipe 15 is laid in the refrigeration cavity, and the metal aluminum liquid is filled and cast in the refrigeration cavity, and the metal aluminum liquid is solidified to form a thermal conductive filling layer 21. In the prior art, since the second ice-making area 12 is not provided on the roller body 13, a foam insulation layer is usually filled in the refrigeration cavity to prevent the temperature from being transferred to the roller body 13 to achieve a heat preservation effect. In the first embodiment, a second ice-making area 12 is formed inside the roller body 13, and a metal aluminum block is filled in the refrigeration cavity. Through the thermal conductivity of the metal aluminum, the low temperature is quickly guided to the first ice-making area 11 and the second ice-making area 12, so that the temperature in the first ice-making area 11 is as close to the temperature in the second ice-making area 12 as possible, thereby effectively improving the ice-making efficiency.
[0027] The first stirring member 16 includes a first support rod and a first ice scraping blade 161, the first ice scraping blade 161 is arranged on the first support rod, the first support rod is sleeved on the refrigeration roller 10, and the first ice scraping blade 161 is closely arranged in the first ice making area 11; the second stirring member 17 includes a second support rod and a second ice scraping blade 171, the second ice scraping blade 171 is arranged on the second support rod, the second support rod is located in the second ice making area 12, and the second ice scraping blade 171 is closely arranged in the second ice making area 12. In this embodiment, a first stirring rod is formed by a first support rod and a first ice scraping blade 161, and the first support rod supports the first ice scraping blade 161. The first stirring member 16 is sleeved on the outer side of the refrigeration roller 10. At this time, the first ice scraping blade 161 is in close contact with the first ice making area 11. Similarly, the second ice scraping blade 171 is supported by the second support rod, and the second stirring member 17 is located in the hollow hole 14. At this time, the second ice scraping blade 171 is in close contact with the second ice making area 12. By rotating the first stirring member 16 and the second stirring member 17, the beverage mixture in the first ice making area 11 and the second ice making area 12 can be scraped, so that more beverage mixtures of different temperatures are in contact with the first ice making area 11 or the second ice making area 12 in turn, so as to improve the heat conduction efficiency and thus improve the ice making efficiency.
[0028] The refrigeration roller 10 is provided with an ice scraping driving member, which is in transmission connection with the second stirring member 17, and the first stirring member 16 is in transmission connection with the second stirring member 17. In this embodiment, the ice scraping driving member includes an ice scraping motor 18 and an ice scraping driving rod 19, the ice scraping rotating rod is located in the hollow hole 14, the driving end of the ice scraping driving motor is in transmission connection with one end of the ice scraping driving rod 19, the first stirring rod and the second stirring rod are both provided with connecting holes corresponding to the ice scraping driving rod 19, the second stirring rod is first connected to the ice scraping driving rod 19 through the connecting hole, and the first stirring rod is then connected to the ice scraping driving rod 19 through the connecting hole, and then the ice scraping driving rod 19 is driven to rotate by the ice scraping motor 18, and then the first stirring rod and the second stirring rod are driven to rotate.
[0029] The refrigeration roller 10 is provided with a temperature measuring hole, and a temperature measuring rod 20 is provided in the temperature measuring hole. In this embodiment, the refrigeration roller 10 is provided with a temperature measuring hole, and the temperature measuring rod 20 is provided in the temperature measuring hole, so that the temperature on the refrigeration roller 10 can be detected and fed back in real time through the temperature measuring rod, thereby facilitating the improvement of the real-time temperature detection of the refrigeration roller 10.
[0030] The roller body 13 is cylindrical, and the cross section of the hollow hole 14 is circular. Orifices connected to the hollow hole 14 are respectively arranged at both ends of the roller body 13 to form a cooling channel. The radii of the orifices at both ends of the roller body 13 are different, and the radius in the cooling channel gradually increases or decreases toward the direction of the orifices at both ends. In this embodiment, the roller body 13 is cylindrical, and the cooling channel is set to be gradually reduced from front to back, and an ice scraping drive is installed at the end with the smaller orifice, so that one end of the cooling channel is sealed and covered, and at the same time, the drainage effect of the beverage mixture is enhanced through another larger orifice, so that the beverage mixture flows into the cooling channel through the orifice, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency between the beverage mixture and the second ice making area 12. At the same time, the beverage mixture in the cooling channel is moved out of the cooling channel through the second stirring rod to achieve cyclic cooling on the second ice making area 12. In addition, the cooling channel can also be set to be gradually enlarged from front to back according to design requirements.
[0031] The refrigeration roller 10 includes a refrigeration tube 15, which is wound along a horizontal axis. Food-grade aluminum is cast on the outside of the refrigeration tube 15 to form a roller body 13. The outer surface of the roller body 13 forms a first ice-making area 11. A hollow hole 14 is provided in the middle of the roller body 13 to form a second ice-making area 12 on the inner wall of the roller body 13. In the second embodiment, food-grade aluminum is cast on the outside of the refrigeration tube 15, and the refrigeration tube 15 is coated with a food-grade aluminum block to form the roller body 13. A protective coating is then coated on the roller body 13 to protect the roller body 13 during use. The food-grade aluminum block directly contacts the beverage mixture in the refrigeration space of the snow melter, thereby further improving the heat exchange efficiency between the roller body 13 and the beverage mixture.
