DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] Embodiment 1: A driving mechanism, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the driving mechanism is used for thawing equipment, and the driving mechanism comprises: a driving body (not shown), a driving shaft 1 connected to the driving body, and an elastic sealing member 2;

[0029] The driving shaft 1 moves through the water bath box body 3 in the thawing device, and the elastic sealing member 2 is sleeved on the driving shaft 1 and located between the driving shaft 1 and the water bath box body 3;

[0030] The elastic sealing member 2 is fixedly connected to the water bath housing 3 by snapping.

[0031] Specifically, the outer surface of one end of the elastic seal 2 is fixedly engaged with the water bath housing 3 by means of a rotating buckle structure 4, and the inner surface of the other end is fixedly engaged with the drive shaft 1. The rotating buckle structure 4 facilitates the matching and disassembly of the elastic seal 2 and the water bath housing 3, and the elastic seal 2 is fixedly engaged with the drive shaft 1 to prevent the elastic seal 2 from sliding on the drive shaft 1 when the drive shaft 1 is in motion, thereby affecting the driving efficiency of the drive shaft 1, and preventing water seepage due to gaps.

[0032] More specifically, see Figure 2As shown, the rotating buckle structure 4 comprises: a spiral slide groove 41 arranged along the circumferential direction of the elastic sealing member 2 and a clamping block 42 matched with the spiral slide groove 41;

[0033] The mouth of the spiral chute 41 is provided with a buckle 43 which limits the block 42 from moving axially along the drive shaft 1 after being matched. During assembly, the elastic seal 2 is first clamped and fixed on the drive shaft 1, and the drive shaft 1 passes through the water bath box 3 and then rotates, and the block 42 slides from the mouth of the spiral chute 41 into the buckle 43 and the spiral chute 41, effectively preventing the elastic seal 2 from sliding in the axial direction of the drive shaft 1 when the drive shaft 1 is extended and retracted, and is easy to disassemble.

[0034] Preferably, the elastic seal 2 includes at least two disc-shaped elastic members 21, the end faces of which are connected; and the rotating buckle structure 4 is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the disc-shaped elastic member 21. The disc-shaped elastic member 21 is arranged along the axial direction of the drive shaft 1. As a preferred mode, the axial center axis of the disc-shaped elastic member 21 coincides with the axial center axis of the drive shaft 1, which is convenient for assembly and uniform force. Since the end face of the disc-shaped elastic member 21 is a curved surface, the arrangement of at least two disc-shaped elastic members 21 allows the elastic seal 2 to have deformation space in the axial direction of the drive shaft 1. When the drive shaft 1 is extended and retracted, the disc-shaped elastic member 21 is deformed, squeezed or stretched in the axial direction of the drive shaft 1, and is not easy to slip off from the abutment with the water bath box body 3, and can reduce the damage rate caused by multiple deformations. Exemplarily, a card slot is provided on the peripheral surface of one of the disc-shaped elastic members 21, and the edge of the rotating buckle structure 4 is clamped in the card slot to achieve fixation with the disc-shaped elastic member 21. The disc-shaped elastic member 21 can also be fixed by screws and the rotating buckle structure 4 .

[0035] More preferably, there are at least two spiral grooves 41 , which are equidistantly arranged on the circumference of the disc-shaped elastic member 21 , so that the assembly effect is more stable.

[0036] More preferably, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the elastic seal 2 and the water bath box body 3 are also connected by a threaded structure 5; the threaded structure 5 is arranged adjacent to the rotating buckle structure 4 on the mating surface of the elastic seal 2 and the water bath box body 3. The threaded structure 5 connection further improves the connection strength and sealing performance of the elastic seal 2 and the water bath box body 3.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 As shown, preferably, a groove 11 is provided on the surface of the driving shaft 1 , and a step 22 matched with the groove 11 is provided on the surface where the elastic sealing member 2 and the driving shaft 1 meet.

[0038] More preferably, the elastic seal 2 is a silicone seal, which has good elasticity, high strength, and is cheap and readily available.

[0039] Preferably, a connecting portion 12 is installed at the driving end of the driving shaft 1; the connecting portion 12 includes a protruding portion 121 perpendicular to the driving shaft 1 and extending in a direction away from the driving shaft 1, and a plug-in portion 122 plugged and fixed in the driving shaft 1 along the central axis of the driving shaft 1. The protruding portion 121 of the connecting portion 12 is used to match with the thawing basket in the water bath box body 3 to drive the thawing basket to move, and the connecting portion 12 is replaced by pulling out the plug-in portion 122 to match thawing baskets of different sizes.

[0040] Embodiment 2: This embodiment provides a thawing device, which comprises: a water bath, a thawing basket and a driving mechanism as provided in Embodiment 1;

[0041] The thawing basket is arranged in the water bath, and the driving shaft of the driving mechanism movably passes through the water bath body and is matched with the thawing basket.
