[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the utility model will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby stated that the directional words such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, etc. that appear or will appear in the text of the utility model are only based on the accompanying drawings of the utility model, and are not specific limitations of the utility model.

[0022] See also Figure 1The embodiment of the utility model discloses a cooling and pushing device for a vertical snow melter, comprising a material storage barrel 1, a cooling mechanism 2 and a driving mechanism 3 arranged in the material storage barrel 1, and a stirring mechanism 4 connected to the driving mechanism 3. The material storage barrel 1 is used to hold liquid and prepared smoothies, the cooling mechanism 2 is used to cool the liquid to prepare smoothies, and the driving mechanism 3 drives the stirring mechanism 4 to stir the liquid to ensure that the liquid is evenly cooled and can be discharged smoothly. The cooling mechanism 2 includes an evaporator 21, the driving mechanism 3 includes a driving motor 31, and the stirring mechanism 4 includes a scraper 41. The driving motor 31 is transmission-connected to the scraper 41, and the driving motor 31 can drive the scraper 41 to rotate, thereby stirring and pushing the liquid and the smoothies. Different from the traditional horizontal snow melter, the evaporator 21 is provided with an inner cavity 211, and the driving motor 31 is vertically arranged in the inner cavity 211. There are two main differences. One is that the drive motor 31 is arranged vertically, while the motor of a conventional snow melter is arranged horizontally. The vertical arrangement of the motor saves more horizontal space than the horizontal arrangement. The other is that the drive motor 31 is arranged in the evaporator 21. The motor of a conventional snow melter is arranged separately from the evaporator 21, wherein the drive shaft of most motors passes through the evaporator 21 and is connected to the scraper 41, so that the integral part composed of the motor, the evaporator 21 and the scraper 41 will occupy a large amount of horizontal space. The drive motor 31 is arranged in the evaporator 21. While saving the horizontal space, the longitudinal space for setting the motor above or below the evaporator 21 is further saved, thereby saving both the horizontal space and the longitudinal space, achieving the effect of reducing the volume. The stirring mechanism 4 moves circumferentially around the central axis of the evaporator 21, and can stir and push the ice crystal mixture formed on the surface of the evaporator 21, wherein the moving direction of the ice crystal mixture is from top to bottom.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of the utility model are as follows:

[0024] The cooling and pushing device for a vertical snow melter of the utility model is provided with a material storage barrel 1, a cooling mechanism 2, a driving mechanism 3 and a stirring mechanism 4, wherein the cooling mechanism 2, the driving mechanism 3 and the stirring mechanism 4 are all arranged in the material storage barrel 1, and the evaporator 21 in the cooling mechanism 2 can cool the liquid in the material storage barrel 1 to form an ice smoothie, the driving mechanism 3 includes a driving motor 31, and the stirring mechanism 4 includes a scraper 41, and the driving motor 31 can drive the scraper 41 to rotate to stir the liquid. Different from the traditional horizontal snow melter, the evaporator 21 of the utility model is provided with an inner cavity 211, and the driving motor 31 is vertically arranged in the inner cavity 211, so that the driving motor 31 and the evaporator 21 form a whole. Since the driving motor 31 is placed vertically, the horizontal occupied space is saved, and since the driving motor 31 is arranged in the evaporator 21, there is no need to occupy additional longitudinal space to install the motor, so the horizontal occupied space and the longitudinal occupied space can be saved, and a smaller volume can be achieved.

[0025] Specifically, see Figure 2 The cooling mechanism 2 further comprises a partition 22, the partition 22 is arranged in the inner cavity 211, the drive motor 31 is arranged in the partition 22, the partition 22 is used to isolate the drive motor 31, and prevent the drive motor 31 from being directly affected by the cooling capacity of the evaporator 21, further, the evaporator 21 comprises an outer cylinder 212 and a heat exchange tube 213, the inner cavity 211 is surrounded by the outer cylinder 212, the heat exchange tube 213 is arranged on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 212, the outer cylinder 212 is used to fix the heat exchange tube 213, and the heat exchange medium is passed into the heat exchange tube 213, which can achieve the heat exchange effect of endothermic evaporation, and can cool the liquid outside the outer cylinder 212 and in the storage cylinder 1 to make ice. The partition 22 is arranged in the outer cylinder 212. When absorbing heat, the heat exchange tube 213 will have a cooling effect on the drive motor 31. After shutdown, condensed water will be generated on the surface of the drive motor 31, which may easily cause a safety hazard. In order to avoid the drive motor 31 from having a poor cooling and condensation effect, the drive motor 31 is further isolated from the heat exchange tube 213. A foaming layer is provided between the outer wall of the partition tube 22 and the inner wall of the outer tube 212. The foaming layer is usually made of polyurethane foam material. By reasonably setting the thickness of the foaming layer, the cold from the heat exchange tube 213 can be reasonably isolated, thereby avoiding the generation of condensed water due to cooling. On the other hand, the foaming layer can prevent the cold of the heat exchange tube 213 from being transferred inward, thereby ensuring the high efficiency of the outward transfer.

The blade 413 spirally extends from the upper part of the outer cylinder 212 toward the lower part of the outer cylinder 212. The blade 413 is arranged from top to bottom to form a spiral surround on the evaporator 21, which can further reduce the longitudinal occupied space of the blade 413 arranged above the evaporator 21.
