Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of tube ice production equipment, and in particular relates to an ice cutting device for a tube ice machine. Background Art

[0002] Tube ice machine is a type of ice making machine, named because the ice cubes it produces are in the shape of hollow tubes. When the thickness of the tube ice reaches the desired value, the water automatically stops flowing. The hot gas of the refrigerant will enter the evaporator to melt the tube ice and fall off. When the tube ice falls, it is cut into sections by the ice cutting device.

[0003] The existing ice cutting devices on the market use a rotating cutter to impact the tube ice to cut the icicles falling from the stainless steel tube, and cut the icicles into icicle segments of roughly the same length. The length of the icicle segment depends on the distance the icicle falls from the stainless steel tube mouth. The length of the icicle is cut according to the cutter rotation speed, resulting in different lengths of icicles, which makes it impossible to process icicle segments of the same length and size.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to propose an ice cutting device for a tube ice machine. Utility Model Content

[0008] At least two ice cutting blades and at least two ice shielding plates are arranged at intervals on the outer side of the rotating shaft;

[0009] The ice cutting blade is arranged above the ice blocking plate;

[0010] When the icicles fall above the ice-blocking plate, the rotating shaft drives the ice-cutting blade to rotate to cut the icicles on the ice-blocking plate so that the lengths of the icicle sections are uniform.

[0011] Furthermore, a long through hole is provided in the middle of the rotating shaft;

[0012] The ice cutting blade comprises: a mounting portion;

[0015] The plane portion is parallel to the long through hole;

[0016] The rotating shaft is provided with at least one mounting through hole arranged vertically;

[0017] The mounting through hole passes through the two planar portions;

[0018] The mounting portion is provided with a fixing through hole; wherein

[0019] The installation through hole and the fixing through hole are suitable for placing the same bolt.

[0020] Furthermore, the bottom of the ice cutting bin is connected to an ice transport bin;

[0021] An ice outlet is provided on one side of the ice transport bin; and

[0022] An inclined plate is arranged inside the ice transport bin to discharge the icicle segments cut off by the ice cutting bin from the ice outlet.

[0023] Furthermore, the inclined plate is provided with a plurality of rubber strips which are arranged at equal distances.

[0024] Furthermore, a cavity is formed between the inclined plate and the ice transport bin;

[0025] A motor is arranged in the cavity; wherein

[0026] The motor is suitable for driving the rotating shaft to rotate; and

[0027] The rotating shaft passes through the inclined plate.

[0028] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0029] (I) The utility model supports the falling icicles by the ice guard plate, and the ice cutter cuts the icicles with the spacing length between the ice guard plate and the ice cutter when the ice cutter rotates, so as to make the cut icicles of the same length; by removing the bolts, the mounting portion of the ice cutter is adjusted to a suitable height in the long through hole, and then the bolts are passed through the mounting through hole and the fixing through hole and then engaged with the nuts to fix the ice cutter, so as to adjust the height between the ice cutter and the ice guard plate to adapt to cutting icicle segments of different lengths.
