Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cold drink machines, in particular to a sealing assembly for an evaporator. Background Art

[0002] A cold drink machine is a device specifically used for making cold drinks, mainly composed of two core systems: a refrigeration system and a stirring system. The refrigeration system is responsible for cooling the raw materials, while the stirring system is used to mix the raw materials to ensure their uniform distribution. The evaporator of the cold drink machine is an important part of its refrigeration system, which is used to refrigerate the materials to make a refreshing snow-melt-like drink. During the operation of the cold drink machine, one end of the rotating shaft is located outside the evaporator. In order to prevent the leakage of materials through the rotating shaft and avoid possible hygiene problems and safety risks, a sealing device needs to be provided between the rotating shaft and the evaporator.

[0003] However, there are some deficiencies in the current sealing device between the rotating shaft and the evaporator: usually there is only one seal, and this seal cannot self-compensate for wear during use. As the sealing performance gradually decreases, it may lead to material leakage, which may cause mildew inside the machine, and even in extreme cases, it may cause a short circuit in the circuit, posing a serious safety hazard.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to design a sealing assembly for an evaporator to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0028] Therefore, the sealing assembly of the evaporator of the present utility model has strong sealing performance through the outer shaft sleeve 41 and the inner shaft sleeve 45 that abut against the rotating shaft 3, and forms a multi-layer fixed damping structure through the combination of the through sleeve 42, the fixed sleeve 43 and the first gasket sleeve 44, improving the structural stability.

[0029] Specifically, in order to fix the rear end of the inner shaft tube 2, the rear end of the evaporator housing 1 is provided with a rear end opening 12, and a rear end ring sleeve 121 is provided inside the evaporator housing 1 at the rear end opening 12. The rear end of the inner shaft tube 2 is placed in the rear end ring sleeve 121 and abuts against the inner wall of the rear end opening 12.

[0030] Such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to reduce the contact between the outer shaft sleeve 41 and the rotating shaft 3 to reduce the friction force, the outer shaft sleeve 41 is provided with a first abutting portion 411 that abuts against the rotating shaft 3 on the side away from the evaporator housing 1.

[0031] In order to embed the through sleeve 42 around the outer shaft sleeve 41, specifically, the outer shaft sleeve 41 is provided with a first shaft sleeve portion 412 and a second shaft sleeve portion 413, and a first groove 414 is formed between the first shaft sleeve portion 412 and the second shaft sleeve portion 413;
