Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of ice making, and in particular relates to an ice-water mixing device. Background Art

[0002] Ice-water mixing equipment mainly mixes ice produced by an ice maker with water to form ice slurry. Ice slurry can be used to preserve aquatic products and pre-cool concrete for large projects.

[0003] Most of the existing ice-water mixing equipment are large-scale equipment, and liquid level sensors are usually used to detect the height of the ice-water mixture inside the equipment. However, conventional sensors are easily damaged or malfunctioned by collisions with stirred ice cubes. Using similar ultrasonic liquid level sensors is too expensive and is not suitable for use by small-scale enterprises.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to design an ice-water mixing device that is not easy to damage the sensor. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide an ice-water mixing device to solve the technical problem that ice cubes are easy to collide and damage sensors during stirring in traditional ice-water mixing devices.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an ice-water mixing device, comprising:

[0007] A mixing tank and a stirring mechanism disposed in the mixing tank; and

[0008] The liquid level detection assembly comprises: a first conductive block and a second conductive block penetrating the side wall of the mixing tank and an alarm arranged outside the mixing tank;

[0009] The alarm is electrically connected to the first conductive block and the second conductive block respectively;

[0010] When the ice-water mixture submerges both the first conductive block and the second conductive block, the first conductive block and the second conductive block are electrically connected to enable the alarm to operate.

[0011] Furthermore, the stirring mechanism comprises: a rotating shaft, and a plurality of stirring rod groups arranged outside the rotating shaft; wherein

[0012] The stirring rod groups are distributed up and down; and

[0013] The stirring rod group comprises: at least two stirring rods distributed at equal distances.

[0014] Further, the mixing tank comprises: a top cover;

[0015] The rotating shaft passes through the top cover and is connected to the top cover bearing;

[0016] The stirring mechanism also includes: a motor for driving the rotating shaft to rotate;

[0017] The motor is arranged above the top cover.

[0018] Furthermore, the stirring mechanism further comprises: a limiting ring connected to the bearing below the rotating shaft, and at least three supporting rods connected to the limiting ring; wherein

[0019] The other end of the support rod is connected to the inner wall of the mixing tank.

[0020] Furthermore, a material inlet is provided on the top cover.

[0021] Furthermore, a discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the mixing tank;

[0022] The discharge pipe is provided with a solenoid valve.

[0023] Furthermore, a bracket is provided at the bottom of the mixing tank;

[0024] Support legs are arranged below the bracket.

[0025] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0026] (I) The utility model injects a certain proportion of ice cubes and water into the mixing tank. When the ice-water mixture only submerges the second conductive block, the alarm is in an open circuit state. When the ice-water mixture submerges the second conductive block and the first conductive block, the ice-water mixture conducts electricity. At this time, the first conductive block, the second conductive block and the alarm form a loop, and the alarm works to alarm to remind on-site personnel of the liquid level. This method replaces the traditional liquid level sensor, thereby achieving the effect of preventing ice cubes from colliding and damaging the sensor when the ice-water mixing equipment is stirred.

[0027] (ii) The utility model feeds materials through the feed port, starts the motor, drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the rotating shaft drives a plurality of stirring rods to rotate to mix the ice-water mixture. At this time, the limit ring and the support rod limit the lower part of the rotating shaft, thereby preventing the rotating shaft from jumping too much and colliding with the inner wall of the mixing tank.

[0028] Other features and advantages of the utility model will be described in the following description, and partly become apparent from the description, or understood by practicing the utility model. The purpose and other advantages of the utility model are realized and obtained by the structures particularly pointed out in the description and the drawings.
