Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of snow melting machine technology, and specifically to a vertical snow melting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Smoothies, as a popular cold drink, are loved by consumers for their delicate texture and rich flavor combinations. In order to meet the taste needs of different consumers, existing smoothie machines are usually equipped with topping devices, which are used to add solid toppings such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, biscuit crumbs, and colored sugars after the smoothie is made, in order to enrich the flavor layers and visual effects of the smoothie.

[0003] Currently, the basic structure of vertical snow melting machines on the market typically includes an ice-making bucket for making slush and a feeding bucket for storing auxiliary materials. The general workflow is as follows: ice crystals and liquid in the ice-making bucket are cut and mixed by high-speed rotating blades to form slush, which is then discharged from the outlet into a container. Subsequently, the user operates a knob or push-button switch on the feeding bucket to make the auxiliary materials in the feeding bucket fall by gravity and sprinkle them on top of the already formed slush in the container, completing the final product.

[0004] However, this traditional method of adding toppings has obvious limitations. Since the toppings are only applied to the top after the slush has been formed, the way the toppings blend with the slush is limited. For consumers who want toppings such as chocolate chips and chopped nuts to be evenly distributed inside the slush (instead of just being used as a surface decoration), the existing equipment cannot meet this need. If users want to get slush with toppings mixed inside, they can only rely on manual stirring, which is not only inconvenient to operate, but also easily damages the original delicate and dense texture of the slush, and it is difficult to ensure the uniformity of the topping distribution. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, the present invention proposes a vertical snow melting machine.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is as follows: A vertical snow melting machine includes a body, on which an ice-making component and a feeding component are disposed; An ice-making assembly includes an ice storage bucket, an ice-making bucket disposed inside the ice storage bucket, a scraper disposed around the outer periphery of the ice-making bucket, and a refrigeration structure for cooling the ice-making bucket. The ice outlet end of the ice storage bucket is connected to an ice outlet seat, the ice outlet seat forms a mixing chamber, and the area below the ice outlet seat forms an ice-receiving area. The feeding assembly includes a feeding box and a feeding channel connected to the discharge end of the feeding box. The output end of the feeding channel is connected to a mixing chamber, and the feeding channel is inclined. The feeding channel is provided with a guide seat, so that the feeding channel has a first feeding mode and a second feeding mode. When the feeding channel is in the first feeding mode, the guide seat is placed in the feeding channel and forms part of the feeding channel, so that the material enters the mixing chamber through the feeding channel. When the feeding channel is in the second feeding mode, the guide seat extends out of the feeding channel, and the output end of the guide seat is located above the ice receiving area, so that the material is directly sprinkled onto the ice receiving area through the guide seat.

[0007] Preferably, the feeding channel includes a receiving section connected to the feeding box and a discharging section connected to the ice outlet, and the guide seat is disposed between the receiving section and the discharging section; when the feeding channel is in the first feeding mode, the guide seat is connected to the receiving section and the discharging section respectively, forming a complete feeding channel; when the feeding channel is in the second feeding mode, the guide seat is disconnected from the discharging section, the input end of the guide seat remains connected to the receiving section, and the output end of the guide seat extends above the ice receiving area. Through the above improvements, by splitting the feeding channel into a receiving section and a discharging section... A movable guide seat is set between the two sections, which enables precise switching of the auxiliary material flow direction. When internal mixing is required, the guide seat connects with the two sections respectively to form a complete sealed channel, ensuring that the auxiliary materials smoothly enter the mixing chamber and blend evenly with the slush. When top decoration is required, the guide seat separates from the discharge section and extends above the ice receiving area, allowing the auxiliary materials to be sprinkled directly on the surface of the slush. This not only retains the traditional top-addition decoration function, but also innovatively realizes the internal premixing function, greatly expanding the flavor production flexibility of the slush machine. Moreover, it is simple to operate and quick to switch, significantly improving the user experience.

[0008] Preferably, the guide seat is provided with a flexible bonding piece, and the discharge section is provided with a bonding groove for the bonding piece to be inserted. When the guide seat extends out of the feeding channel, the bonding piece bends and forms an arc-shaped discharge guide surface. Through the above improvements, the auxiliary materials are made to flow by gravity throughout the process, ensuring that auxiliary materials such as chocolate powder and nut pieces slide smoothly into the mixing chamber or the ice receiving area, effectively avoiding the accumulation or blockage of auxiliary materials in the channel.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the guide seat is hinged to the receiving section, and the guide seat has a locking protrusion. The discharge section has a locking hole, and the locking protrusion is inserted into the locking hole so that the feeding channel is in the first feeding mode. Through the above improvements, reliable locking in the first feeding mode is achieved. When the guide seat rotates to dock with the discharge section, the locking protrusion automatically embeds into the locking hole to form a stable mechanical lock, ensuring that the feeding channel remains sealed during the auxiliary material conveying process. This prevents the guide seat from loosening or shifting due to equipment vibration or auxiliary material impact, significantly improving the reliability and ease of operation of the equipment.

[0010] Preferably, the discharge section is provided with a release knob, and the release knob is provided with a pressing protrusion. The discharge section forms a guide groove that connects to the locking hole. The pressing protrusion is slidably disposed in the guide groove. When the pressing protrusion slides to the bottom of the guide groove, the pressing protrusion presses against the locking protrusion and forces it to disengage from the locking hole. Through the above improvements, the unlocking operation of the guide seat is made more convenient and tactile. When the user needs to switch from the first feeding mode to the second feeding mode, he only needs to turn the release knob. The pressing protrusion slides along the guide groove and gradually pushes against the locking protrusion, forcing it to smoothly exit the locking hole and complete the unlocking. This improves the smoothness of mode switching and the operating experience.

[0011] Preferably, the extrusion protrusion has an installation guide slope and a disengagement guide slope. The installation guide slope is inclined toward the direction in which the snap-fit ​​protrusion of the guide seat enters the snap-fit ​​hole, and the disengagement guide slope is inclined toward the direction in which the extrusion protrusion pushes the snap-fit ​​protrusion. With the above improvements, when the guide seat is snapped in, the snap-fit ​​protrusion can slide through the installation guide slope. This slope design reduces the force required for snapping in and provides a clear insertion feel. When the disengagement knob is turned to unlock, the extrusion protrusion smoothly pushes the snap-fit ​​protrusion through the disengagement guide slope, allowing it to smoothly exit the snap-fit ​​hole, avoiding jamming or damage to the snap-fit ​​protrusion due to hard extrusion, and significantly improving the smoothness of the user's operation.

[0012] Preferably, the feeding box comprises several storage chambers, and a control knob is provided on the feeding box. The control knob is located at the bottom of the storage chambers and has a discharge hole. The control knob includes at least a first position and a second position. When the control knob is in the first position, the discharge hole is opposite to the storage chamber to connect the storage chamber and the feeding channel. When the control knob is in the second position, the control knob isolates the storage chamber and the feeding channel. Through the above improvements, multiple storage chambers are provided in the feeding box, equipped with control knobs with discharge holes, realizing integrated storage and rapid switching of various auxiliary materials. When the knob is turned to the first position, the discharge hole aligns and connects with the corresponding storage chamber, allowing the auxiliary materials in that chamber to be output through the feeding channel. When turned to the second position, the physical part of the control knob isolates the storage chamber from the channel, stopping the discharge. This allows one device to simultaneously hold multiple auxiliary materials such as chocolate beans and nut pieces. Users can freely select the desired auxiliary materials simply by rotating the knob, eliminating the need for frequent disassembly and replacement of the material bin. The alignment design between the discharge hole and the storage chamber ensures precise and controllable discharge, preventing cross-contamination between different auxiliary materials. This not only enriches the flavor production capabilities of the slush machine but also simplifies the multi-material operation process, significantly enhancing the practicality and commercial value of the equipment.

[0013] Preferably, the ice dispensing seat is provided with a stirring structure, which includes a stirring roller rotated in the mixing chamber, a stirring blade disposed on the stirring roller, and a driving unit for driving the stirring roller to rotate. Through the above improvements, active and uniform mixing of auxiliary materials and slush is achieved. When the feeding channel is in the first feeding mode, after the auxiliary materials enter the mixing chamber, the rotating stirring blade forcibly stirs the slush and auxiliary materials, so that the two are fully integrated before extrusion, avoiding the unevenness caused by relying solely on gravity or flow mixing. This structure is particularly suitable for high-viscosity slush or fine powders that are prone to clumping, and can ensure that auxiliary materials such as chocolate powder and matcha powder are evenly distributed inside the slush, so that every bite can obtain a consistent flavor experience.

[0014] Preferably, the ice dispensing seat is provided with an ice dispensing knob, and the ice dispensing knob forms an ice dispensing hole. The ice dispensing knob includes at least a first position and a second position. When the ice dispensing knob is rotated to the first working position, the ice dispensing hole is misaligned with the ice outlet of the ice dispensing seat to close the ice dispensing. When the ice dispensing knob is rotated to the second working position, the ice dispensing hole is aligned and connected with the ice outlet of the ice dispensing seat to open the ice dispensing. Through the above improvements, when the ice dispensing knob is rotated to the first position, the ice dispensing hole and the ice outlet are completely misaligned, and the wall of the ice dispensing seat blocks the discharge channel, which can prevent the slush from accidentally dripping during standby or mode switching and keep the operating table clean. When rotated to the second position, the ice dispensing hole and the ice outlet are aligned and connected, and the slush flows out smoothly.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the guide seat is provided with a pull handle. Through the above improvements, the convenience of switching the guide seat from the first feeding mode to the second feeding mode is enhanced.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: By incorporating a guide seat on the feeding channel, the feeding channel can have a first feeding mode and a second feeding mode. In the first feeding mode, the guide seat is placed inside the feeding channel and forms part of the feeding channel, allowing the material to enter the mixing chamber through the feeding channel. In the second feeding mode, the guide seat extends out of the feeding channel, and the output end of the guide seat is located above the ice receiving area, allowing the material to be directly sprinkled onto the ice receiving area through the guide seat. This expands the traditional single top powdering function of the slush machine into a dual mode of "internal mixing" and "top decoration," meeting different user needs and improving the user experience.

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] It should be understood that although the terms upper, middle, lower, top, one end, etc., appear in this document to describe various elements, these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the elements from each other for ease of understanding, and are not used to define any directional or sequential restrictions.

[0020] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a vertical snow melting machine includes a body 1, on which an ice-making component 2 and a feeding component 3 are mounted.

[0021] Specifically, the ice-making assembly 2 includes an ice storage tank 101, an ice-making tank 102 disposed inside the ice storage tank 101, a scraper 103 disposed on the outer periphery of the ice-making tank 102, and a refrigeration structure 104 for cooling the ice-making tank 102. The refrigeration structure 104 adopts a vapor compression refrigeration cycle and mainly includes a compressor, a condenser, a throttling element, and an evaporator. The components are connected by pipelines to form a closed loop. The ice outlet end of the ice storage tank 101 is connected to an ice outlet seat 105. A mixing chamber 106 is formed inside the ice outlet seat 105, and an ice receiving area 107 is formed below the ice outlet seat 105.

[0022] The feeding assembly 3 includes a feeding box 201 and a feeding channel 202 connected to the discharge end of the feeding box 201. The output end of the feeding channel 202 is connected to the mixing chamber 106, and the feeding channel 202 is inclined.

[0023] Furthermore, a guide seat 203 is provided on the feeding channel 202 so that the feeding channel 202 has a first feeding mode and a second feeding mode. When the feeding channel 202 is in the first feeding mode, the guide seat 203 is placed inside the feeding channel 202 and forms part of the feeding channel 202 so that the material enters the mixing chamber 106 through the feeding channel 202. When the feeding channel 202 is in the second feeding mode, the guide seat 203 extends out of the feeding channel 202, and the output end of the guide seat 203 is located above the ice receiving area 107 so that the material is directly sprinkled onto the ice receiving area 107 through the guide seat 203.

[0024] In the entire slush making process, the liquid ingredients (such as water, milk, juice, etc.) required for making slush are first poured into the ice storage tank 101. After the equipment is started, the ice making tank 102 set in the ice storage tank 101 begins to cool down under the action of the refrigeration structure 104, so that the temperature of its inner wall drops rapidly below the freezing point. As the ice making tank 102 continues to cool, the liquid ingredients attached to its inner wall gradually condense to form a thin layer of ice crystals.

[0025] Meanwhile, the scraper 103, which is rotated around the ice-making bucket 102, continues to rotate under the drive of the drive mechanism. The blades are closely attached to the outer wall of the ice-making bucket 102, continuously scraping off the ice crystals that have formed. The scraped ice crystal fragments fall into the ice storage bucket 101 below and mix with the liquid raw materials that have not yet frozen in the bucket. Under the continuous stirring and cutting action of the scraper 103, the ice crystals and liquid are repeatedly mixed and broken, finally forming a semi-finished shaved ice product with a delicate texture and a smooth taste.

[0026] As the ice-making process continues, the slush accumulated in the ice storage tank 101 moves towards the bottom ice outlet under the pushing action of gravity and the subsequent slush produced, and enters the ice outlet seat 105 connected to the ice outlet of the ice storage tank 101. The ice outlet seat 105 forms a mixing chamber 106 inside, where the slush is temporarily stored and awaits discharge.

[0027] When the user needs to discharge the slush, the ice outlet 802 is aligned and connected with the ice outlet by operating the ice outlet knob 801 on the ice outlet seat 105. The slush then flows out from the mixing chamber 106 through the ice outlet and falls into the container placed in the ice receiving area 107, completing the preparation of the basic slush. During the process of the slush flowing through the mixing chamber 106, if the feeding component 3 is in the first feeding mode, the auxiliary material will enter the mixing chamber 106 from the feeding channel 202, mix with the slush here, and then be discharged together; if it is in the second feeding mode, the auxiliary material is sprinkled separately on top of the discharged slush. This expands the traditional single top powdering function of the slush machine into a dual mode of "internal mixing" and "top decoration", meeting the needs of different users and improving the user experience.

[0028] like Figure 7 As shown, the ice dispensing seat 105 is equipped with a stirring structure 701. The stirring structure 701 includes a stirring roller 702 mounted in the mixing chamber 106, a stirring blade 703 mounted on the stirring roller 702, and a driving unit 704 that drives the stirring roller 702 to rotate. This achieves active and uniform mixing of the auxiliary materials and the slush. When the feeding channel 202 is in the first feeding mode, after the auxiliary materials enter the mixing chamber 106, the rotating stirring blade 703 forcibly stirs the slush and the auxiliary materials, so that the two are fully integrated before extrusion. This avoids the unevenness caused by relying solely on gravity or flow mixing. This structure is particularly suitable for high-viscosity slush or fine powders that are prone to clumping. It can ensure that auxiliary materials such as chocolate chips and nuts are evenly distributed inside the slush, so that every bite can provide a consistent flavor experience.

[0029] In addition, an ice dispensing knob 801 is rotated on the ice dispensing seat 105, and an ice dispensing hole 802 is formed on the ice dispensing knob 801. The ice dispensing knob 801 includes at least a first position and a second position. When the ice dispensing knob 801 is rotated to the first working position, the ice dispensing hole 802 is misaligned with the ice outlet of the ice dispensing seat 105 to close the ice dispensing. When the ice dispensing knob 801 is rotated to the second working position, the ice dispensing hole 802 is aligned and connected with the ice outlet of the ice dispensing seat 105 to open the ice dispensing. When the ice dispensing knob 801 is rotated to the first position, the ice dispensing hole 802 is completely misaligned with the ice outlet, and the wall of the ice dispensing seat 105 blocks the discharge channel, which can prevent the slush from accidentally dripping during standby or mode switching and keep the operating table clean. When rotated to the second position, the ice dispensing hole 802 is aligned and connected with the ice outlet, and the slush flows out smoothly, realizing precise control of the slush output.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, as a further explanation of the embodiment of the feeding channel 202, the feeding channel 202 includes a receiving section 301 connected to the feeding box 201 and a discharging section 302 connected to the ice outlet seat 105, and a guide seat 203 is disposed between the receiving section 301 and the discharging section 302; when the feeding channel 202 is in the first feeding mode, the guide seat 203 is connected to the receiving section 301 and the discharging section 302 respectively, and a complete feeding channel 202 is constructed; when the feeding channel 202 is in the second feeding mode, the guide seat 203 is disengaged from the discharging section 302, and the input end of the guide seat 203 remains connected to the receiving section 301, and The output end of the guide seat 203 extends above the ice receiving area 107, realizing precise switching of the auxiliary material flow direction. When internal mixing is required, the guide seat 203 connects with the two sections respectively to form a complete sealed channel, ensuring that the auxiliary materials smoothly enter the mixing chamber 106 and are evenly mixed with the slush. When top decoration is required, the guide seat 203 separates from the discharge section 302 and extends above the ice receiving area 107, allowing the auxiliary materials to be directly sprinkled on the surface of the slush. This retains the traditional top-addition decoration function and innovatively realizes the internal premixing function, greatly expanding the flavor production flexibility of the slush machine. It is also simple to operate and quick to switch, significantly improving the user experience.

[0031] Specifically, the guide seat 203 is provided with a flexible bonding piece 407, and the discharge section 302 is provided with a bonding groove 408 for the bonding piece 407 to be inserted. When the guide seat 203 extends out of the feeding channel 202, the bonding piece 407 bends and forms an arc-shaped discharge guide surface, so that auxiliary materials such as chocolate powder and nut pieces can smoothly slide into the mixing chamber 106 or the ice receiving area 107, effectively preventing the auxiliary materials from accumulating or blocking in the channel, and preventing the auxiliary materials from getting stuck in the gap between the guide seat 203 and the receiving section 301.

[0032] The feeding channel 202 is inclined, and the inclination direction of the feeding channel 202 gradually decreases towards the ice outlet 105. By setting the feeding channel 202 to an inclined structure that gradually decreases towards the ice outlet 105, the auxiliary materials are allowed to flow by gravity throughout the process, ensuring that auxiliary materials such as chocolate beans and nut pieces can smoothly slide into the mixing chamber 106 or the ice receiving area 107, effectively preventing the auxiliary materials from accumulating or blocking in the channel.

[0033] Specifically, one end of the guide seat 203 is hinged to the receiving section 301, and the guide seat 203 has a locking protrusion 401. The discharge section 302 has a locking hole 402. The locking protrusion 401 is inserted into the locking hole 402 so that the feeding channel 202 is in the first feeding mode, realizing reliable locking in the first feeding mode. When the guide seat 203 rotates to dock with the discharge section 302, the locking protrusion 401 automatically embeds into the locking hole 402, forming a stable mechanical lock, ensuring that the feeding channel 202 remains sealed during the auxiliary material conveying process, preventing the guide seat 203 from loosening or shifting due to equipment vibration or auxiliary material impact, and significantly improving the reliability and ease of operation of the equipment.

[0034] Furthermore, a release knob 403 is provided on the discharge section 302, and a pressing protrusion 404 is provided on the release knob 403. A guide groove 405 is formed on the discharge section 302 to connect the locking hole 402. The pressing protrusion 404 is slidably disposed in the guide groove 405. When the pressing protrusion 404 slides to the bottom of the guide groove 405, the pressing protrusion 404 presses the locking protrusion 401 and forces it to disengage from the locking hole 402. This realizes the convenience and tactile feel of the unlocking operation of the guide seat 203. When the user needs to switch from the first feeding mode to the second feeding mode, he only needs to turn the release knob 403. The pressing protrusion 404 will slide along the guide groove 405 and gradually push against the locking protrusion 401, forcing it to smoothly exit the locking hole 402 and complete the unlocking. This improves the smoothness of mode switching and the operating experience.

[0035] Preferably, a reset torsion spring is provided on the release knob 403, so that the pressing protrusion 404 always has a tendency to move away from the locking hole 402, thereby realizing the automatic reset of the release knob 403.

[0036] Preferably, the extrusion protrusion 404 has an installation guide slope 501 and a disengagement guide slope 502. The installation guide slope 501 is inclined toward the direction in which the snap-fit ​​protrusion 401 of the guide seat 203 enters the snap-fit ​​hole 402. The disengagement guide slope 502 is inclined toward the direction in which the extrusion protrusion 404 pushes the snap-fit ​​protrusion 401. When the guide seat 203 is snapped in, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 401 can slide through the installation guide slope 501. This slope design reduces the force required for snapping in and provides a clear feel for insertion. When the disengagement knob 403 is turned to unlock, the extrusion protrusion 404 smoothly pushes the snap-fit ​​protrusion 401 through the disengagement guide slope 502, allowing it to smoothly exit the snap-fit ​​hole 402. This avoids jamming or damage to the snap-fit ​​protrusion 401 due to hard extrusion, and significantly improves the smoothness of the user's operation.

[0037] like Figure 2 , Figure 6As shown, a further explanation of the specific structure of the feeding box 201 is provided. The feeding box 201 contains several storage chambers 601. A control knob 602 is provided on the feeding box 201. The control knob 602 is located at the bottom of the storage chamber 601, and a discharge hole 603 is formed on the control knob 602. The control knob 602 includes at least a first position and a second position. When the control knob 602 is in the first position, the discharge hole 603 is opposite to the storage chamber 601 to connect the storage chamber 601 and the feeding channel 202. When the control knob 602 is in the second position, the control knob 602 isolates the storage chamber 601 and the feeding channel 202.

[0038] Multiple storage chambers 601 are set in the feeding box 201, and a control knob 602 with a discharge hole 603 is provided. This realizes the integrated storage and quick switching of various auxiliary materials. When the control knob 602 is turned to the first position, the discharge hole 603 is aligned and connected with the corresponding storage chamber 601, and the auxiliary material in the chamber can be output through the feeding channel 202. When turned to the second position, the physical part of the control knob 602 isolates the storage chamber 601 from the channel and stops the discharge. This allows a single device to hold multiple auxiliary materials such as chocolate beans and nut pieces at the same time. Users can freely select the required auxiliary materials by simply rotating the knob, without the need for frequent disassembly and replacement of the material box. The alignment design of the discharge hole 603 and the storage chamber 601 ensures accurate and controllable discharge and avoids cross-contamination between different auxiliary materials. This not only enriches the flavor production capabilities of the slush machine, but also simplifies the multi-material operation process, significantly improving the practicality and commercial value of the equipment.

[0039] Preferably, the feeding box 201 is made of transparent material, and a removable feeding cover 901 is provided on the top of the feeding box 201. Using a transparent material and a removable feeding cover 901 significantly improves the practicality of the equipment and the user experience. The transparent material allows the user to directly observe the remaining amount of auxiliary material in each storage chamber 601 without opening the box, and to replenish it in a timely manner. This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step after reading this specification, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
