Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice making machines, in particular to an evaporator for a flake ice machine. Background Art
[0002] The evaporator of the snowflake ice machine is used in the snowflake ice machine to make snowflakes. Liquid beverages or water are placed in the snowflake ice machine and then fall onto the evaporator body, instantly cooling the water or liquid attached to the outer surface of the evaporator to make snowflakes for consumption.
[0003] In the related technology, a solution of a rotary cylindrical evaporator for a snowflake ice machine (announcement number: CN217929295U) was discovered through searching. When in use, by setting an air pressure balance chamber, a piston plate, a sliding seal, a rotating seal, a limit rod, a limit block, a compression spring and a vent pipe, it is convenient to adjust the air pressure inside the cylinder body, and effectively avoid the axial force generated by the central axis due to the change of air pressure inside the cylinder body at the moment of starting and shutting down the snowflake ice machine, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the central axis.
[0004] However, since the central shaft uses the second bearing to provide rotation during the rotation, there is only one bearing, and the central shaft and the sealing ring swing, the shaking deviation during rotation, and the rotation accuracy is low. Since high-pressure refrigerant is introduced into the cylinder during operation, the refrigerant is easy to leak out through the sealing ring from the inside of the cylinder body; we have introduced an evaporator for a snowflake ice machine. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an evaporator for a snowflake ice machine to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0008] The inner thread is arranged on the inner side wall of the evaporator shell, and the outer side of the evaporator shell is provided with an outer thread. The outer thread on the surface of the evaporator shell and the inner thread on the inner side of the evaporator shell are used together. The outer thread can increase the water-wetting surface and more effectively improve the ice-making efficiency. The inner thread can increase the contact area between the refrigerant and the evaporator shell and improve the refrigeration efficiency.
[0009] The first bearing seat is sleeved on one side of the driving shaft, and a fixed shaft is arranged inside the first bearing seat, so that the driving shaft can rotate better inside the first bearing seat when it rotates. A second bearing seat is sleeved on one side of the middle tube, and the middle tube can rotate better inside the second bearing seat when it needs to rotate, so that the rotation is more stable. Two sealing rings are respectively installed on the inner sides of the first bearing seat and the second bearing seat to form a secondary seal to prevent leakage of internal high-pressure refrigerant.
[0010] The sealing mechanism includes a first bearing and a second bearing, the first bearing is sleeved on the surface of the fixed shaft, the first oil seal is sleeved on the surface of the fixed shaft and is located on one side of the first bearing, the second oil seal is sleeved on the surface of the fixed shaft and is located on one side of the first oil seal, and the second bearing is sleeved on the surface of the fixed shaft and is located on one side of the second oil seal. The arrangement of the first bearing and the second bearing can make the rotation of the driving shaft more stable, smoother, and with a smaller swing amplitude. At the same time, the first oil seal and the second oil seal are respectively sleeved on the surface of the fixed shaft, so that a double seal can be formed by using the first oil seal and the second oil seal. A rear cover is arranged inside the first bearing seat on the other side of the fixed shaft, and the arrangement of the rear cover can seal the first bearing seat.
[0011] Preferably, a third bearing is sleeved on the surface of the driving shaft inside the first bearing seat. The provision of the third bearing can allow the driving shaft to rotate more smoothly inside the first bearing seat.
[0012] Preferably, a fourth bearing is sleeved on the surface of the middle tube inside the second bearing seat. The setting of the fourth bearing can make the middle tube rotate more smoothly. A sealing gasket is connected to one side of the fourth bearing inside the second bearing seat. The setting of the sealing gasket can prevent external water from entering the interior of the second bearing seat, and can also prevent the lubricating oil inside the second bearing seat from leaking out.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0014] (1) By using the external thread on the surface of the evaporator shell and the internal thread on the inside of the evaporator shell together, the water-wetting surface can be increased, which can more effectively improve the ice-making efficiency. At the same time, the contact area between the refrigerant and the evaporator shell can also be increased, thereby improving the cooling efficiency.
[0015] (2) The middle tube of the evaporator shell and the surface of the driving shaft are both equipped with a double bearing structure, namely, a first bearing seat and a second bearing seat, so that when the evaporator shell rotates, the shaking deviation is smaller and the rotation accuracy is higher. At the same time, the first oil seal and the second oil seal can be used together to block the external water and seal the oil inside the driving shaft to avoid oil leakage;
[0016] (3) A sealed waterproof isolation area can be formed by the waterproof grooves on the inner sides of the first bearing seat and the second bearing seat to prevent moisture, dust and other impurities from entering the interior of the third bearing and the fourth bearing inside the first bearing seat and the second bearing seat, which helps to keep the interior of the first bearing seat and the second bearing seat clean and reduce damage to the first bearing seat and the second bearing seat caused by external pollution.

At the same time, the first oil seal 14 and the second oil seal 15 are respectively sleeved on the surface of the fixed shaft 16, so that a double seal can be formed by using the first oil seal 14 and the second oil seal 15. The other side of the fixed shaft 16 is located inside the first bearing seat 6 and a rear cover 13 is arranged. The arrangement of the rear cover 13 can seal the first bearing seat 6.
