[0021] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a refrigeration device applied to a flake ice machine is installed on the flake ice machine and one end of the refrigeration device extends into the evaporation unit of the flake ice machine, spraying refrigerant into the evaporation unit to cool it down, so as to make flake ice. The refrigeration device includes a positioning shaft 1, a throttling device 2, a sealing ring 6, a return air pipe 4, a first bearing 51 and a second bearing 52. The positioning shaft 1 is provided with a through hole 11, and a channel 3 runs through the interior of the positioning shaft 1.
[0023] One end of the positioning shaft 1 is provided with an air return port 16, and the air return port 16 is provided with an external thread. The air return pipe 4 is threadedly connected to the air return port 16 through a nut 163, so that the air return pipe 4 is connected to the channel 3. The air return pipe 4 is used to collect the refrigerant after heat exchange with the evaporation unit, so that the refrigerant is recovered into the compressor through the air return pipe 4.
[0024] The throttling device 2 is filled with refrigerant and is used to transfer the refrigerant so that the refrigerant is evenly sprayed inside the evaporation unit. Specifically, one end of the throttling device 2 is connected to the compressor, and the other end extends from the return air pipe 4 to the channel 3, and passes out from the through hole 11 and coils on the outer wall of the positioning shaft 1. The liquid outlet end of the throttling device 2 is located at the center of the evaporation unit, so that the refrigerant sprayed on the inner wall of the evaporation unit can be more evenly distributed, avoiding the situation where the evaporation unit has a better cooling effect on one side and a poor cooling effect on the other side.
[0025] Specifically, the refrigerant is output from the compressor and sprayed into the evaporator through the throttling device 2 to exchange heat with the evaporator. The vaporized refrigerant after the heat exchange is recovered through the channel 3 and is recovered and collected into the compressor from the return air pipe 4 to form a pipeline cycle.
[0026] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, in order to limit the throttling device 2 wound on the outer wall of the positioning shaft 1 to prevent it from falling off the positioning shaft 1, a limiting column 12 is installed at the end of the positioning shaft 1, and correspondingly, a positioning hole 15 for installing the limiting column 12 is provided on the positioning shaft 1. The limiting column 12 is threadedly installed on the positioning hole 15 to limit the throttling device 2 wound on the positioning shaft 1.
[0027] Furthermore, in order to make it easier for the throttling device 2 to pass through the through hole 11 and be wound around the positioning shaft 1, the through hole 11 is in an oblong shape.
[0028] The first bearing 51, the second bearing 52 and the sealing ring 6 are all sleeved on the positioning shaft 1. The sealing ring 6 is located between the first bearing 51 and the second bearing 52.
[0029] Specifically, the positioning shaft 1 is provided with a sealing ring groove 14, which is annularly surrounding the outer wall of the positioning shaft 1. The inner ring at one end of the sealing ring groove 14 is tightly sleeved on the sealing ring groove 14, which is used to position and limit the sealing ring 6 so that the sealing ring 6 can be positioned and installed.
[0030] The first bearing 51 is tightly attached to one side of the sealing ring 6, and the second bearing 52 is located on the other side of the sealing ring 6 near the through hole 11. Furthermore, in order to limit the first bearing 51 and the second bearing 52, a first limiting step 162 is provided on the air return port 16, and a second limiting step 13 is provided on the positioning shaft 1.
[0031] The first limiting step 162 limits the first bearing 51 . The outer diameter of the first limiting step 162 is greater than the inner diameter of the first bearing 51 , so that the first bearing 51 is tightly installed between the first limiting step 162 and the sealing ring 6 .
[0032] The second limiting step 13 limits the second bearing 52. The second limiting step 13 is located on the other side of the sealing ring 6. The outer diameter of the second limiting step 13 is larger than the inner diameter of the second bearing 52, so that the second bearing 52 is close to the through hole 11 and a gap is maintained between the second bearing 52 and the sealing ring 6. The outer diameter of the second bearing 52 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first bearing 51.
[0033] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the sealing ring 6 is equal to the inner diameter of the evaporation unit, and is used to seal the end of the evaporation unit so that the refrigerant distributed inside the evaporation unit can only enter the return air pipe 4 through the channel 3 to form an in-pipe circulation, thereby preventing the refrigerant from leaking.
[0034] Furthermore, in order to fix the positioning shaft 1 so that it remains stable when the throttling device 2 sprays the refrigerant, a limit slot 161 is provided on the return air port 16, and the limit slot 161 is symmetrically arranged, so that it is convenient to fix it on the snow ice machine through a bracket.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments based on the concept of the present invention and on the basis of the prior art should be within the protection scope determined by the claims.
