Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of shavings ice machines, in particular to a material receiving box for shavings ice machines. Background Art

[0002] A shavings ice machine is a machine that can freeze liquid into shavings of ice crystals within a few seconds. The shavings ice machine usually includes a refrigeration unit, a snow-making unit and other structures. The snow-making unit generally includes a liquid feeding device, an evaporator cylinder, a snow-making knife assembly, a drive motor and other structures. The evaporator cylinder is driven to rotate by the drive motor. The snow-making knife assembly is arranged on the lower side of the evaporator cylinder to shovel off the shavings ice frozen on the surface of the evaporator cylinder. The liquid feeding device includes a liquid bottle and a receiving box. The liquid in the liquid bottle flows into the receiving box. The evaporator cylinder continuously rotates to pick up the liquid from the receiving box and freezes it into ice crystals.

[0003] In the prior art, in the process of making ice in a flake ice machine, in order to make the produced flake ice crystals easy to detach from the cylinder, the cylinder is usually made of a material with low adsorption. This may cause the produced flake ice crystals to automatically fall into the receiving box before passing through the snow-making knife assembly, thereby causing the liquid level height of the liquid in the receiving box to change. During some busy periods, when the receiving box cannot be processed in time, the liquid may overflow from the receiving box. Usually, the height of the receiving boxes on the market is consistent, and there is no good limiting structure. Therefore, when the liquid in the receiving box overflows, it may cause the liquid to drip freely through any position of the receiving box. Therefore, a receiving box for a flake ice machine is needed. Summary of the invention

[0004] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and provides a material receiving box for a snowflake ice machine. Through the setting of a bent plate, a guide strip, a limit block and a limit strip, under the action of the bent plate, when the liquid in the material receiving box is about to overflow, it will first overflow to the outside through the bent plate, and then through the action of the guide strip, the limit block and the limit strip, it can limit the dripping position of the overflowed liquid, so as to facilitate the collection and treatment of the overflowed liquid, thereby preventing the liquid from dripping at will through any position of the material receiving box. Through the setting of the slide plate, when the snowflake ice crystals fall onto the slide plate, they will slide to a position away from the bent plate through the slide plate, avoiding the snowflake ice crystals from accumulating around the bent plate, so that the liquid can smoothly overflow through the bent plate, avoiding the liquid from overflowing from other positions of the material receiving box.

[0005] The utility model also provides a material receiving box for a snowflake ice machine as described above, including a material receiving box, wherein a bent plate is arranged on the material receiving box, a guide strip is connected to the lower surface of the bent plate, a limit block and a limit strip are respectively fixedly connected to the lower surface of the material receiving box, a slide plate is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the material receiving box, a connecting block is fixedly connected to the side surface of the material receiving box, a connecting hole is provided on the connecting block, and a stabilizing block is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting block.

[0006] According to the receiving box for the flake ice machine, the side surface of the slide plate is fixedly connected to the bent plate, so that the flake ice crystals can slide to a position away from the bent plate.

[0007] According to the material receiving box for the flake ice machine, the front surface of the limit strip is in contact with the guide strip and the limit block respectively.

[0008] According to the material receiving box for the flake ice machine, the side surface of the stabilizing block is fixedly connected to the material receiving box.

[0009] According to the material receiving box for the snowflake ice machine, the number of the guide bars is two and they are distributed on the left and right, which can limit the direction of the flow of the material liquid.

[0010] According to the material receiving box for the flake ice machine, the number of the connecting blocks is two and they are distributed on the left and right.

[0011] According to the material receiving box for the flake ice machine, the number of the stabilizing blocks is multiple and distributed in a rectangular array, which improves the stability of the material receiving box and the connecting blocks and reduces the probability of fracture at the connection between the material receiving box and the connecting blocks.

[0012] According to the material receiving box for the flake ice machine, the material of the material receiving box, the bent plate and the slide plate are all made of polytetrafluoroethylene. The use of polytetrafluoroethylene material prevents flake ice crystals from adhering to the material receiving box, the bent plate and the slide plate, making it easier to process the flake ice crystals.
