Detailed Description of the Invention

[0021] For the convenience of those skilled in the art, the following further describes the present utility model in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, an automatic ice block conveying device includes a double-layer heat preservation barrel 1. The heat preservation barrel 1 has a double-layer structure. Ice blocks are placed in the heat preservation barrel 1, which can effectively play a heat insulation effect. The bottom of the heat preservation barrel 1 is conical, and a drain hole 12 is provided at the edge of the bottom of the heat preservation barrel 1. The drain hole 12 penetrates the bottom wall of the heat preservation barrel 1, and the water melted from the ice blocks can be conveniently discharged from the drain hole 12 to avoid the ice blocks being mixed with melted water. Support feet 13 are provided on the bottom surface of the heat preservation barrel 1, and mounting holes 131 are provided on the support feet 13. This structure facilitates the installation and fixation of the heat preservation barrel 1, and the heat preservation barrel 1 can be conveniently fixed to relevant device equipment through the mounting holes 131.

[0023] As Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, the heat preservation barrel 1 is provided with a heat preservation top cover 2. A stirring drive mechanism 3 is provided on the heat preservation top cover 2. The stirring drive mechanism 3 is connected with a stirring paddle 4 located in the inner cavity of the heat preservation barrel 1. The stirring drive mechanism 3 can drive the stirring paddle 4 to stir the ice blocks in the heat preservation barrel 1 to prevent the ice blocks from freezing into one body. The heat preservation top cover 2 includes a middle fixed double-layer cover plate 21. Movable double-layer cover plates 22 are provided on both sides of the middle fixed double-layer cover plate 21. The top end of the stirring paddle 4 is installed on the fixed double-layer cover plate 21, and the stirring drive mechanism 3 is fixed on the top surface of the fixed double-layer cover plate 21. This structure facilitates the installation and fixation of the stirring drive mechanism 3 and the stirring paddle 4, and can effectively ensure the heat insulation effect of the heat preservation barrel 1. The stirring paddle 4 includes a central shaft 41 arranged vertically, and a plurality of stirring rods 42 are connected around the central shaft 41.

[0024] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, an output port 11 is provided at the bottom of the side wall of the heat preservation barrel 1. The output port 11 is connected with a conveying slideway 5. The ice blocks in the heat preservation barrel 1 enter the conveying slideway 5 through the output port 11 and are conveyed out. A counting sensor 9 is provided on the side wall of the conveying slideway 5, which can detect the number of ice blocks passing through the conveying slideway 5 to facilitate the control of the ice block addition amount. An interface 52 is provided at one end of the conveying slideway 5 far from the heat preservation barrel, and a sealing gasket 53 is provided on the interface 52. The interface 52 facilitates the docking of the pipeline for adding ice blocks.

[0025] There is a window 51 at the top of the conveying chute 5 near the insulation barrel 1. A double-layer insulation plug 6 is provided in the output port 11. An activity door 7 is provided at the window 51. A turnover mechanism 8 is provided above the output port 11. Both the double-layer insulation plug 6 and the activity door 7 are connected to the turnover mechanism 8 and are controlled by the turnover mechanism 8 to turn over. The turnover mechanism 8 controls the double-layer insulation plug 6 and the activity door 7 to turn over, thereby opening the output port 11 and the window 51. When the output port 11 is opened, the ice cubes in the insulation barrel 1 can enter the conveying chute 5, and when the window 51 is opened, it is convenient for the double-layer insulation plug 6 to pass through.

[0026] The turnover mechanism 8 includes a triangular block 81. One corner of the triangular block 81 is connected to the double-layer insulation plug 6 and the activity door 7. Another corner of the triangular block 81 is connected with an electric push rod 82. One end of the electric push rod 82 is hinged to the outer wall of the insulation barrel 1. Another corner of the triangular block 81 is connected with a rotating shaft 83. The rotating shaft 83 is fixed to the outer wall of the insulation barrel 1 through a fixing block 831. The telescopic drive of the electric push rod 82 makes the triangular block 81 rotate around the rotating shaft 83, thereby driving the double-layer insulation plug 6 and the activity door 7 to turn over. The electric push rod 82 is connected with a long strip plate 84. An induction sheet 85 is provided at the connection between the electric push rod 82 and the triangular block 81. Two position sensors 86 matching the induction sheet 85 are provided on the long strip plate 84. The position of the induction sheet 85 can be sensed through the position sensors 86, so as to feedback the telescopic state of the electric push rod 82.

[0027] The working process of this embodiment: By opening the movable double-layer cover plate 22, it is convenient to put ice cubes into the insulation barrel 1. The stirring drive mechanism 3 drives the stirring paddle 4 to continuously stir the ice cubes in the insulation barrel 1 to prevent the ice cubes from freezing into one body. When it is necessary to convey ice cubes, the turnover mechanism 8 controls the double-layer insulation plug 6 and the activity door 7 to turn over, thereby opening the output port 11 and the window 51. When the output port 11 is opened, the ice cubes in the insulation barrel 1 can enter the conveying chute 5, thus completing the automatic conveying of ice cubes.
