Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of machinery, in particular to a snow-making device. Background Art

[0002] In the field of VR immersive experience, users need to directly enter the venue for experience. Generally, the VR application scenarios are relatively small. After users put on VR glasses, they can physically contact some items, and at the same time, what their eyes see are virtual imaged objects, so as to enhance the customers' sensory experience. Among them, the simulation of the environment is crucial. At present, the environment simulation mainly adopts schemes such as water spraying, vibration, heating, and bubble blowing. However, in the production of ice and snow effects, there is no specific equipment to meet the requirements. Moreover, the existing snow-making devices are mainly applied outdoors, such as ski resorts, etc., and they are large in size and cannot be applied to small indoor venues. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to address the above problems existing in the prior art and propose a snow-making device, which has the characteristics of being able to be installed indoors in a small venue and generating the form and distribution effect of snowflakes.

[0004] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0005] A snow-making device, comprising:

[0006] A fixed base, which is used to be fixed on a wall;

[0007] A snowflake ice machine, which is installed on the fixed base and has a snow outlet; and

[0008] A blowing device, which is arranged directly below the snow outlet and is used to blow out the fallen ice and snow.

[0009] In the above snow-making device, the blowing device includes a mounting seat, a first adjusting screw, an adjusting frame, and a blower. The mounting seat is fixed on the fixed base; the first adjusting screw is fixed on the mounting seat; the adjusting frame is rotatably arranged on the first adjusting screw; the blower is rotatably arranged on the adjusting frame through two second adjusting screws, and the axis of the first adjusting screw is perpendicular to the axial direction of the second adjusting screw.

[0010] In the above snow-making device, the blower is a variable-frequency blower.

[0011] In the above snow-making device, the adjusting frame has a bottom frame and side frames fixed on both sides of the bottom frame. Two first nuts are threadedly connected to the first adjusting screw, and the two first nuts clamp the bottom frame of the adjusting frame; two second nuts are threadedly connected to each second adjusting screw, and the two second nuts clamp the side frames of the adjusting frame.

[0012] In the above snow-making device, the blowing direction of the blowing device is perpendicular to the rotation axis direction of the ice-making roller of the snowflake ice machine.

[0013] In the above snow-making device, the blowing direction of the blowing device is generally along the rotation axis direction of the ice-making roller of the snowflake ice machine.

[0014] In the above snow-making device, at the front side position of the blowing device, a drain hole is provided at the bottom of the fixed base.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0016] The snow-making device mainly fixes the entire device on the wall through the fixed base to ensure its stability. The snowflake ice machine is installed on the fixed base, generates ice and snow during operation and discharges it from the snow outlet.

[0027] The following will further illustrate the present application in conjunction with Figures 1 - 6 the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0028] First of all, it should be noted here that: in the description of the present application, when terms such as "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer" and other orientation words appear, the orientation or positional relationship indicated is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, which is only for the convenience of description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, so it cannot be understood as a limitation to the present application; in addition, when terms such as "first", "second", "third" and other numerical quantifiers appear, they are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. In addition, in the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, when terms such as "installation", "connection", "connection" appear, they should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, an interference fit, a transition fit and other limit connections, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; therefore, for those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0029] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, a snow-making device includes: a fixed base 2, a snowflake ice machine 3 and a blowing device 4. The fixed base 2 is used to be fixed on a wall; the snowflake ice machine 3 is installed on the fixed base 2, and the snowflake ice machine 3 has a snow outlet; the blowing device 4 is arranged directly below the snow outlet and is used to blow out the fallen ice and snow.

[0030] This snow-making device mainly fixes the whole device on the wall through the fixed base 2 to ensure its stability. The snowflake ice machine 3 is installed on the fixed base 2. When it operates, it generates ice and snow and discharges it from the snow outlet. When the ice and snow fall from the snow outlet, the blowing device 4 located directly below the snow outlet starts to blow out the fallen ice and snow, so that it can spread within a specific space range, thereby creating an ice and snow effect.

[0031] First, it is fixed to the wall through the fixed base 2. The snowflake ice machine 3 is small in size and saves space, especially suitable for indoor VR immersive experience scenarios with limited space, solving the problem that the existing snow-making devices are too large to be applied indoors. Secondly, the combination of the snowflake ice machine 3 and the blowing device 4 can quickly and effectively produce and spread ice and snow, bringing a realistic ice and snow experience to users and enhancing the effect of VR immersive experience. Moreover, the device has a relatively simple structure, is convenient to install and operate, and can be quickly put into use, providing convenience for the operation of VR experience venues.

[0032] Specifically, the blowing device 4 includes a mounting seat 41, a first adjusting screw 42, an adjusting frame 43, and a blower 44. The mounting seat 41 is fixed to the fixed base 2; the first adjusting screw 42 is fixed to the mounting seat 41; the adjusting frame 43 is rotatably arranged on the first adjusting screw 42; the blower 44 is rotatably arranged on the adjusting frame 43 through two second adjusting screws 45, and the axis of the first adjusting screw 42 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the second adjusting screw 45.

[0033] The mounting seat 41 is fixed to the fixed base 2 as a basic component, providing a stable support for the entire blowing device 4. The first adjusting screw 42 is fixed to the mounting seat 41, and the adjusting frame 43 is rotatably arranged on the first adjusting screw 42, which enables the adjusting frame 43 to be rotated and adjusted by a certain angle through the first adjusting screw 42. The blower 44 is rotatably arranged on the adjusting frame 43 through two second adjusting screws 45, so that the angle of the blower 44 can be adjusted by using the second adjusting screws 45.

[0034] Since the axis of the first adjusting screw 42 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the second adjusting screw 45, the position and angle of the blower 44 can be finely adjusted from two mutually perpendicular directions. During actual operation, according to specific requirements, the angle of the adjusting frame 43 can be changed by adjusting the first adjusting screw 42, thereby adjusting the overall orientation of the blower 44, and then the specific angle of the blower 44 can be further fine-tuned by adjusting the second adjusting screw 45, so that the blower 44 can accurately blow the ice and snow falling from the snow outlet of the snowflake ice machine 3 in a specific direction to achieve the best ice and snow effect creation effect.

[0035] This multi-direction adjustable design greatly improves the flexibility and adaptability of the blowing device 4. Whether it is indoor spaces of different sizes or different VR experience scenario requirements, the optimal setting of the angle of the blower 44 can be achieved by adjusting the first adjusting screw 42 and the second adjusting screw 45, providing a more realistic ice and snow experience for users.

[0036] Specifically, the blower 44 is a variable-frequency blower 44.

[0037] Due to the variable-frequency control, the wind force and direction can be adjusted more precisely. In the VR immersive experience, the wind force of the fan 44 can be adjusted at any time according to different experience scenarios and user needs to achieve the most realistic ice and snow effects. For example, in the scenario of simulating a gentle breeze blowing snowflakes, the wind force can be adjusted to a smaller value; while in the scenario of simulating a snowstorm, the wind force can be increased to bring users a more diverse experience.

[0038] Specifically, the adjusting frame 43 has a bottom frame 431 and side frames 432 fixed on both sides of the bottom frame 431. Two first nuts 421 are threadedly connected to the first adjusting screw 42, and the two first nuts 421 clamp the bottom frame 431 of the adjusting frame 43; two second nuts 451 are threadedly connected to each second adjusting screw 45, and the two second nuts 451 clamp the side frames 432 of the adjusting frame 43.

[0039] The bottom frame 431 can be clamped by the two first nuts 421. If it is necessary to rotate the adjusting frame 43, only the upper first nut 421 needs to be loosened to rotate the adjusting frame 43. After rotating to the required position, the first nut 421 can be tightened again to fix the adjusting frame 43.

[0040] The side frames 432 can be clamped by the two second nuts 451, thereby restricting the adjustment angle of the fan 44. When the angle needs to be adjusted, only the second nut 451 needs to be loosened, and then the fan 44 is rotated. After the adjustment is completed, the second nut 451 is tightened again.

[0041] Specifically, the blowing direction of the blowing device 4 is perpendicular to the rotation axis direction of the ice-making roller 31 of the snowflake ice machine 3.

[0042] Specifically, the blowing direction of the blowing device 4 is generally along the rotation axis direction of the ice-making roller 31 of the snowflake ice machine 3.

[0043] Specifically, at the front side position of the blowing device 4, a drain hole 21 is provided at the bottom of the fixed base 2.

[0044] During the VR immersive experience, a small amount of accumulated water may be generated due to various factors, such as the melting of ice and snow or the condensate during the operation of the equipment. The setting of the drain hole 21 can timely drain this accumulated water to avoid the accumulation of water at the fixed base 2. At the same time, it can also keep the surrounding environment of the equipment dry and improve the safety and stability of the equipment.

[0045] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present application and do not limit the technical solutions described in the present application. Although the present specification has described the present application in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that those skilled in the art can still modify the present application or make equivalent substitutions, and all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present application should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present application.
