Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of liquid supply, and particularly to a liquid supply device and a snow ice machine. Background Art

[0002] A snow ice machine drives the cylinder body of the evaporator to rotate. Since the bottom of the cylinder body is immersed in the liquid in the liquid supply tray, the liquid is carried up, causing the liquid to freeze on the surface of the cylinder body. Among them, the liquid in the liquid supply tray is generally transported through a liquid storage tank, that is, the liquid in the liquid storage tank continuously transports liquid into the liquid supply tray, so that a certain amount of liquid is always stored in the liquid supply tray to ensure that the bottom of the cylinder body is immersed in the liquid, so as to ensure that the surface of the cylinder body freezes.

[0003] The existing liquid supply tray and liquid storage tank are placed separately, and a pump body is used to transport the liquid in the liquid storage tank into the liquid supply tray. Although this can achieve liquid supply, it occupies a large area, the structure is not compact, and it is easy to cause leakage during the transportation process; it is necessary to manually start the pump body for transportation, and automatic liquid addition cannot be achieved, which increases the labor intensity, and the structure is complex and the cost is high.

[0004] The liquid contained in the liquid supply tray may be water or beverage, and it needs to be cleaned after being used for a period of time. Some liquid supply trays are fixedly installed on the machine body, and there are also detachable liquid supply trays. However, due to the special position of the liquid supply tray, that is, the liquid supply tray and the evaporator cylinder body are closely matched, it makes the liquid supply tray not easy to clean and not easy to disassemble. If the liquid supply tray is directly cleaned without disassembling it, it may be necessary to remove the cylinder body, otherwise it will cause difficult cleaning or incomplete cleaning; if the liquid supply tray is disassembled and then cleaned, the cylinder body causes great difficulty in its disassembly. In addition, if the liquid supply tray is disassembled, another problem arises: it is necessary to drain the liquid in the liquid supply tray before disassembly, otherwise the liquid will spill out. Therefore, the liquid in the liquid supply tray must be drained before disassembling the liquid supply tray. Generally, the existing snow ice machine is used to rotate the cylinder body to use up the liquid in the liquid supply tray, and the remaining liquid is sucked, which not only wastes the liquid, but also increases the labor intensity and reduces the cleaning efficiency.

[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the orientation terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside that appear or will appear in the text of the present invention are only based on the accompanying drawings of the present invention, and they do not specifically limit the present invention.

[0048] See Figures 1-10 , the present invention discloses a liquid supply device, which includes a machine body 1, a liquid storage tank 2, a liquid supply tray 3, a self-starting mechanism, a disassembly and assembly mechanism, and a liquid discharge mechanism. The liquid storage tank 2 and the liquid supply tray 3 are both installed on the machine body 1, and the liquid storage tank 2 is arranged above the liquid supply tray 3.

[0049] A liquid outlet 21 is provided at the bottom of the liquid storage tank 2; the self-starting mechanism includes a self-starting component for opening and closing the liquid outlet 21 and a self-starting platform 32 arranged on the liquid supply tray 3. The self-starting platform 32 abuts against the self-starting component to drive the self-starting component to open the liquid outlet 21.

[0050] The disassembly and assembly mechanism includes a disassembly and assembly component installed on the liquid supply tray 3. The disassembly and assembly component includes a disassembly and assembly part 4. The disassembly and assembly part 4 expands and contracts to connect or separate from the machine body 1, realizing the disassembly and assembly of the liquid supply tray 3.

[0051] The liquid supply device of the present invention is provided with a self-starting mechanism. The self-starting mechanism includes a self-starting component and a self-starting platform. The self-starting component and the self-starting platform are respectively arranged on the liquid storage tank and the liquid supply tray. When the liquid storage tank and the liquid supply tray are both installed on the machine body, the self-starting platform abuts against the self-starting component, pushing the self-starting component that closes the liquid outlet, thereby opening the liquid outlet. The liquid in the liquid storage tank flows into the liquid supply tray through the liquid outlet, realizing automatic liquid addition to the liquid supply tray, without manual start, reducing labor intensity, and without the need to set up a pump body, with low cost. Moreover, both the liquid storage tank and the liquid supply tray are arranged on the machine body, the occupied area of the snow ice machine is small, the structure is simple and compact, and the possibility of liquid leakage is reduced.

[0052] Furthermore, the present invention is also provided with a disassembly and assembly mechanism. The disassembly and assembly part is installed on the liquid supply tray. When the disassembly and assembly part extends, it is connected to the machine body, so that the liquid supply tray is fixed on the machine body; when the user toggles the disassembly and assembly part to make it contract, the disassembly and assembly part is separated from the machine body, so that the liquid supply tray can be taken out from the machine body, realizing the disassembly of the liquid supply tray. During installation, as long as the disassembly and assembly part is extended again and connected to the machine body again, the structure is simple, no tools are required, the operation is simple, the disassembly and assembly are convenient, and the efficiency is high.

[0053] Finally, the present invention is also provided with a liquid discharge mechanism. The liquid discharge component closes the liquid discharge port under the hydraulic action. The user drives the liquid discharge component to overcome the hydraulic pressure, so that the liquid discharge component is separated from the liquid discharge port, the liquid discharge port is opened, and the liquid in the liquid supply tray flows out of the liquid supply tray through the liquid discharge port. Before disassembling the liquid supply tray, the liquid in the liquid supply tray can be discharged by driving the liquid discharge component, and then disassembled to avoid liquid spillage. Its structure is simple, the operation is simple, and the liquid discharge is convenient.

[0054] Specifically, as Figure 4 , 8 shown, a liquid outlet pipe 22 communicating with the liquid outlet 21 is provided at the bottom of the liquid storage tank 2, and the self-activation component is installed in the liquid outlet pipe 22. A cavity penetrating both end faces is provided in the liquid outlet pipe 22, and the self-activation component is installed in the cavity and is movably connected to the liquid outlet pipe 22. The liquid outlet pipe 22 is formed by extending downward from the edge of the liquid outlet 21. The liquid outlet pipe is used to install the self-activation component and also plays a role in guiding the liquid flowing out of the liquid storage tank through the liquid outlet.

[0055] Among them, as Figure 4 shown, the self-activation component includes a first control rod 23 movably connected to the liquid outlet pipe 22 and a first seal 24 provided at the top of the first control rod 23. The first seal 24 is provided on the liquid outlet 21 to close the liquid outlet 21. The first seal 24 is made of an elastic material, such as rubber or silica gel. The first seal 24 abuts against the edge of the liquid outlet 21. Under the hydraulic action, the first seal tightly fits against the liquid outlet, so as to close the liquid outlet, and the liquid cannot flow into the liquid outlet. Therefore, when filling the liquid storage tank with liquid, the liquid will not flow out of the liquid outlet.

[0056] As Figure 3 , 10 shown, the liquid supply tray 3 is provided with a liquid supply cavity 31, and the self-activation platform 32 is arranged in the liquid supply cavity 31 and is located below the first control rod 23; the self-activation platform 32 abuts against the first control rod 23, so as to move the first seal 24 and open the liquid outlet 21. The liquid storage tank and the liquid supply tray are respectively installed on the machine body. At this time, the self-activation platform abuts against the first control rod, pushing the first control rod upward, driving the first seal to move upward, separating the first seal from the liquid outlet, thereby opening the liquid outlet, so that the liquid in the liquid storage tank flows into the liquid outlet, and then flows into the liquid supply cavity through the liquid outlet pipe, realizing the liquid supply to the liquid supply tray.

[0057] Preferably, the disassembly and assembly part is integrally formed, reducing the number of components, with a simple structure, reliable connection, and low cost.

[0058] Among them, as Figure 4 , 8 As shown in FIG. -9, the disassembly and assembly part 4 includes a fixing part 41 and a movable part. The position of the fixing part 41 is relatively fixed with respect to the liquid supply tray 3. The movable part includes a telescopic part 42 and a fastening part 43. The fixing part 41 is connected to the fastening part 43 through the telescopic part 42. The fastening part 43 is telescoped through the telescopic part 42 to connect or disconnect it from the body 1. One end of the telescopic part is fixed to the liquid supply tray through the fixing part, and the other end is connected to the fastening part. The fastening part is driven by the telescopic movement of the telescopic part to connect or disconnect the fastening part from the body, so that the liquid supply tray is connected or disconnected from the body. When the liquid supply tray is separated from the body, the liquid supply tray can be directly taken out.

[0059] Preferably, as Figure 9 shown, the telescopic part 42 includes a plurality of movable strips 421 and a connecting strip 422. The movable strips 421 are arranged in parallel. Adjacent movable strips 421 are connected by the connecting strip 422. Adjacent connecting strips 422 are respectively arranged at both ends of the same movable strip 421. The telescopic part 42 is made of an elastic material. The telescopic part can be stretched or shortened to produce elastic deformation. In the initial state, the telescopic part extends, causing the fastening part to extend and connect to the body, so that the liquid supply tray is fixedly installed on the body. When the fastening part is toggled to compress the telescopic part, the fastening part is driven to retract and disconnect from the body, so that the liquid supply tray can be removed from the body.

[0060] More preferably, as Figures 8-10 shown, the movable part further includes a receiving part 44 and a handrail part 45 provided on the receiving part 44. The telescopic part 42 is connected to the fastening part 45 through the receiving part 44. The setting of the receiving part serves to receive the telescopic part and the fastening part. The setting of the handrail part facilitates the user to toggle the handrail part to drive the receiving part, so that the telescopic part can be compressed, causing the fastening part to separate from the body. When the handrail part is released, the telescopic part returns to its original state, causing the fastening part to reset, and then it can be inserted into the fixing groove again, and the liquid supply tray is fixed on the body again.

[0061] It should be noted that, as Figure 4 , 8, as shown in FIGS. 10, the disassembly and assembly component further includes a mounting member 6, and the disassembly and assembly member 4 is mounted on the bottom of the liquid supply tray 3 through the mounting member 6; the mounting member 6 is provided with a fastening opening 61 and a handrail opening 62, the fastening part 43 is passed through the fastening opening 61, and the handrail part 45 is passed through the handrail opening 62. The disassembly and assembly member is mounted on the bottom of the liquid supply tray through the mounting member, and the fastening part and the handrail part respectively extend out of the mounting member, so that the fastening part can be connected to the machine body, and the user can move the handrail part to compress the telescopic part to retract the fastening part.

[0062] Further, as Figure 10 shown, the disassembly and assembly mechanism further includes a support block 5 provided on the outer side wall of the liquid supply tray 3, and the support block 5 is mounted on the machine body 1. The support block 5 is provided at one end of the liquid supply tray 3, and the disassembly and assembly component is provided at the other end of the liquid supply tray 3. The two ends of the liquid supply tray are respectively connected to the machine body through the support block and the disassembly and assembly component, realizing two-point support, so that the connection between the liquid supply tray and the machine body is reliable and stable.

[0063] Among them, as Figure 5 , 8 shown, the machine body 1 is provided with a fixing groove 11 and a guiding groove 12; the disassembly and assembly member 4 can be inserted into the fixing groove 11 to connect the disassembly and assembly member 4 and the machine body 1; the guiding groove 12 includes an inlet part 121, a guiding part 122 and a positioning part 123 which are connected in sequence, and the height of the inlet part 121 is lower than the height of the positioning part 123; the support block 5 is placed in the positioning part 123 through the inlet part 121 and the guiding part 122. The inlet part is communicated with the positioning part through the guiding part. The support block enters the guiding groove through the inlet part and reaches the positioning part through the guiding part, so that one end of the liquid supply tray can cross the cylinder of the evaporator and reach the rear of the cylinder, that is, reach the rear of the cylinder under the guiding of the guiding part from below the cylinder. Therefore, the installation and disassembly of the liquid supply tray will not be affected by the cylinder, and there is no need to disassemble the cylinder. At the same time, it can ensure that the bottom of the cylinder is placed in the liquid supply tray. Its structure is simple, reliable and easy to operate.

[0064] Preferably, the number of the movable parts is at least two, and they are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixed part 41. The number of the support blocks 5 is at least two, and they are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the liquid supply tray 3. Correspondingly, the number of the fixing grooves 14 and the guiding grooves 15 is two respectively, and they are symmetrically arranged on the inner side wall of the ice making groove 11. Therefore, the liquid supply tray has four points to be connected to the machine body respectively, and the connection is reliable and stable.

[0065] Furthermore, as Figure 5As shown, the body 1 is provided with an avoidance groove 13, and both the fixing groove 11 and the guiding groove 12 are arranged in the avoidance groove 13; the avoidance groove 13 is provided with an inlet 131, a top wall 132, a rear wall 133, and a guiding wall 134 connecting the top wall 132 and the rear wall 133. The inlet 131 is communicated with the inlet part 121. The top wall 132 and the guiding wall 134 are arranged above the liquid supply tray 3, and the rear wall 133 is arranged at the rear side of the liquid supply tray 3.

[0066] The support block enters the inlet part through the inlet, enabling the support block to enter the positioning part along the guiding part. Meanwhile, the top wall and the rear wall respectively play a role in limiting the top and the rear side of the liquid supply tray, making the connection between the liquid supply tray and the body tight, not easily displaced, ensuring the stability and reliability of the installation of the liquid supply tray, and also ensuring the stability of the relative positions between the liquid supply tray and the cylinders of the liquid storage tank and the evaporator respectively, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the snow ice machine. In addition, since the liquid supply tray moves along the guiding part towards the positioning part driven by the support block, in order to avoid the cylinder of the evaporator, during the movement of the liquid supply tray, the liquid supply tray needs to move obliquely. When the support block moves to the positioning part, the liquid supply tray rotates around the support block to make the liquid supply tray flat, specifically until the disassembly and assembly part can be inserted into the fixing groove. It should be noted that since the top wall is horizontally arranged and the rear wall is vertically arranged, the guiding wall plays a role in connecting the top wall and the rear wall.

[0067] During the rotation of the liquid supply tray, the liquid supply tray needs to have a certain rotation space. Preferably, as Figure 5 shown, the guiding wall 134 and the positioning part 123 are arranged corresponding to each other, and the extending directions of the guiding wall 134 and the guiding part 122 are parallel to each other, avoiding interference between the liquid supply tray and the side wall of the avoidance groove and preventing the liquid supply tray from rotating.

[0068] Since a part of the cylinder of the evaporator is placed in the liquid supply tray for easy contact with the liquid. Preferably, as Figure 5 、 8 shown, the body 1 is provided with a mounting wall block 14 placed in the avoidance groove 13. A tray placement groove 15 is formed between the mounting wall block 14 and the avoidance groove 13. The side wall of the liquid supply tray 3 is inserted into the tray placement groove 15 so that the mounting wall block 14 is placed in the liquid supply tray 3. The mounting wall block extends from outside the avoidance groove to inside the avoidance groove, and the mounting wall block is used to support the side wall of the cylinder. In order not to hinder the rotation of the cylinder while enabling a part of the cylinder to be placed in the liquid supply tray, the side wall of the liquid supply tray needs to be inserted into the tray placement groove formed between the mounting wall block and the side wall of the avoidance groove. That is, the tray placement groove is formed by the mounting wall block, the side wall and the bottom wall of the avoidance groove.

[0069] More preferably, as Figure 8 、 10As shown, a spill-proof seal 10 is sleeved on the side wall of the liquid supply tray 3, and the spill-proof seal 10 is in contact with the top wall 132, the mounting wall block 14, and the side wall of the liquid supply tray 3 respectively. When the liquid level in the liquid supply tray reaches a certain height, the liquid will flow into the gap between the machine body and the liquid supply tray along the mounting wall block and / or the top wall, and flow out of the liquid supply tray along this gap, causing leakage at the side of the liquid supply tray. Therefore, in order to avoid leakage, a spill-proof seal is sleeved on the side wall of the liquid supply tray, so that a sealed connection is achieved between the liquid supply tray and the machine body through the spill-proof seal.

[0070] Furthermore, the liquid discharge mechanism includes a liquid discharge pipe 7 provided at the bottom of the liquid supply tray 3 and a liquid discharge assembly installed in the liquid discharge pipe 7. The liquid discharge pipe 7 is correspondingly arranged with the liquid discharge port 36; the fixing part 41 is sleeved outside the liquid discharge pipe 7 so that the positions of the fixing part 41 and the liquid supply tray 3 are relatively fixed. That is to say, the liquid discharge port 36 and the disassembly part 4 are correspondingly arranged. When the user holds the armrest part and pulls down one end of the liquid supply tray, so that the support block enters the guiding part and finally is taken out from the inlet part, due to the inclination of the liquid supply tray, the liquid in the liquid supply tray will flow towards the liquid discharge port, facilitating all the liquid to flow out from the liquid discharge port. At this time, the liquid discharge port is opened through the liquid discharge assembly, and the liquid can be discharged. One operation achieves two effects, and disassembly and liquid discharge can be carried out simultaneously, which is simple and efficient.

[0071] Moreover, the liquid discharge pipe is used to install the liquid discharge assembly, and at the same time, the liquid discharge pipe also plays a role in relatively fixing the fixing part, that is, one end of the telescopic part is fixed. Therefore, the telescopic movement of the telescopic part can drive the fastening part to realize the disassembly and installation of the liquid supply tray. Thus, the liquid discharge pipe has a dual function. At the same time, arranging the liquid discharge pipe and the disassembly part together can save space, save components, and has a simple and compact structure.

[0072] Among them, a cavity penetrating both end faces is provided in the liquid discharge pipe, and the liquid discharge assembly is installed in the cavity and is movably connected to the liquid discharge pipe. The liquid discharge pipe is formed by extending downward from the edge of the liquid discharge port. The extraction liquid pipe is used to install the liquid discharge assembly and also plays a role in guiding the liquid flowing out of the liquid supply tray from the liquid discharge port.

[0073] As Figure 4 、 8 shown, an avoidance opening 63 is further provided on the mounting member 6, and the liquid discharge pipe 7 passes through the avoidance opening 63 to extend outside the mounting member, facilitating the user to operate the second control rod.

[0074] Preferably, as Figure 4 、 8, as shown in FIGS. 10, the liquid drainage assembly includes a second control rod 8 movably connected to the liquid drainage pipe 7 and a second seal 9 provided at the top of the second control rod 9. The second seal 9 is provided on the liquid drainage port 36 to close the liquid drainage port 36. The second seal 9 is made of an elastic material, such as rubber or silica gel. The second seal abuts against the edge of the liquid drainage port. Under the action of hydraulic pressure, the second seal tightly fits against the liquid drainage port, thereby closing the liquid drainage port. Liquid cannot flow into the liquid drainage port and be discharged, and at this time, the snow ice machine can operate normally. When liquid drainage is required, the user only needs to push the second control rod upward to drive the second seal to move upward, separating the second seal from the liquid drainage port and opening the liquid drainage port to achieve liquid drainage.

[0075] Preferably, as Figure 3 , 8 , as shown in FIGS. 10, the liquid supply chamber 31 includes a liquid receiving area 33 and a liquid drainage area 34. The bottom wall height of the liquid receiving area 33 is higher than the bottom wall height of the liquid drainage area 34.
