[0002] In the existing cold drink machine, an ice-like material is stored in a storage container, and the storage container is refrigerated or heat-insulated by a refrigeration device; when the storage container needs to output the material, the material is pushed out to the outside through an internal discharging mechanism; since the temperature of the material during output is close to the storage temperature, the discharging mechanism cannot output all the materials to the storage container at one time, so that part of the material remains at the discharging port. Since the storage temperature is close to the discharging temperature, this part of the remaining material is difficult to be cleaned at the storage temperature, so it will accumulate and pile up after a long time, and will hinder the output of the subsequent material, thus affecting the discharging efficiency of the storage container.

[0040] Such as Figures 1-5 , an ice discharging structure for preventing ice condensation at the discharging port, comprising: an ice storage container 1 and a refrigeration mechanism 2;

[0041] The ice storage container 1 includes: an ice storage shell 11 and an ice discharging cover 12;

[0042] The ice discharging cover 12 is installed on the ice storage shell 11; the ice storage shell 11 is provided with an ice storage cavity 111, and the refrigerating end of the refrigeration mechanism 2 is attached to the outer wall of the ice storage cavity 111;

[0043] The ice discharging cover 12 is provided with an ice discharging cavity 121, the ice storage cavity 111 is horizontally communicated with the ice discharging cavity 121, the ice discharging cavity 121 is used for receiving the materials in the ice storage cavity 111, and the ice discharging cavity 121 is provided with an ice discharging port 122;

[0044] The wall thickness a of the ice discharging cover 12 in the ice discharging cavity 121 is greater than the wall thickness b of the ice storage shell 11 in the ice storage cavity 111.

[0045] This solution provides an ice discharging structure for preventing ice condensation at the discharging port. The ice storage container 1 of it is mainly provided with an ice storage shell 11 and an ice discharging cover 12 with different thicknesses. By attaching the refrigerating end of the refrigeration mechanism 2 to the outer wall of the ice storage shell 11, the ice storage shell 11 with a small thickness is convenient for refrigeration, and the ice discharging cover 12 with a large thickness can increase the temperature difference between the ice discharging cavity 121 and the ice storage cavity 111, thus solving the problems of insufficient fluidity, residue and blockage at the ice discharging port 122 when the existing ice discharging machine discharges ice at a single temperature.

[0046] Specifically, the ice storage container 1 of this solution includes an ice storage shell 11 and an ice outlet cover 12; the ice storage shell 11 and the ice outlet cover 12 can be integrally formed or detachably connected together; the ice storage shell 11 is provided with an ice storage cavity 111, which is equivalent to the main ice storage area of the existing ice dispenser; and the outer side wall of the ice storage shell 11 is provided with the refrigeration end of the refrigeration mechanism 2. The refrigeration mechanism 2 has a refrigeration function and can reduce the temperature of the outer side wall of the ice storage cavity 111, so as to keep the inside of the ice storage cavity 111 in a low temperature state, which can meet the storage temperature of the material; the ice outlet cover 12 is provided with an ice outlet cavity 121 and an ice outlet 122 in the ice outlet cavity 121. The ice outlet cavity 121 can be used to receive the material in the ice storage cavity 111 and output the material to the outside through the ice outlet 122, thus completing the ice outlet; in this solution, the wall thickness refers to the distance between the outer side wall and the inner side wall; and in this solution, as Figure 3 , the wall thickness a of the ice outlet cavity 121 is greater than the wall thickness b of the ice storage cavity 111. The wall thickness b of the ice storage cavity 111 is smaller, and the refrigeration end of the refrigeration mechanism 2 is attached to the outer side wall of the ice storage cavity 111; the refrigeration effect of the refrigeration mechanism 2 on the ice storage cavity 111 will be improved; and there is no refrigeration mechanism 2 outside the ice outlet cavity 121. It is mainly in contact with air or other structures, and the air will be distributed around the outer side wall of the ice outlet cavity 121. Therefore, the air will heat the inside of the ice outlet cavity 121 through the outer side wall of the ice outlet cavity 121, so that the temperature of the ice outlet cavity 121 will rise slightly; the ingenious part of this solution is that the wall thickness a of the ice outlet cavity 121 is designed to be greater than the wall thickness b of the ice storage cavity 111. That is, although the air will increase the temperature of the ice outlet cavity 121, the greater the wall thickness of the ice outlet cavity 121, the better the heat insulation effect, so the temperature change rate per unit time is smaller; in this way, the temperature of the material will drop when passing through the ice outlet cavity 121, but its temperature is only slightly lower than the temperature of the ice storage cavity 111, that is, the temperature will not drop sharply at the ice outlet cavity 121; obviously, the material has a better refrigeration effect in the ice storage cavity 111, and the temperature of the ice outlet cavity 121 will drop in the ice outlet cavity 121, but the drop rate will not be too large; so this solution can control the wall thickness a of the ice outlet cavity 121 so that the temperature of the material is slightly lower than the freezing point of the material, which can make the material melt partially, and the material is in a solid-liquid coexistence state, increasing the fluidity of the material, making it easier for the material to be discharged from the ice outlet 122 when it has a certain fluidity, reducing the residue amount of the material at the ice outlet 122, and avoiding the situation that the ice dispenser temperature is too low resulting in insufficient fluidity during ice outlet and residue and blockage at the ice outlet 122, and also avoiding the situation that the temperature is too high during ice outlet resulting in a decrease in the ice outlet amount and residue at the ice outlet 122.

[0047] The refrigeration mechanism 2 is replaced by a publicly known mechanism with a refrigeration function, such as a semiconductor refrigeration device, a liquid nitrogen refrigeration device, etc.

[0048] Optimally, the ice storage container 1 further includes: a fixed flange 13;

[0049] The inner ring of the fixed flange 13 is fixed to the outer side of the ice storage shell 11 and is located at the opening of the ice storage cavity 111 ; the opening of the ice outlet cavity 121 is threadedly matched with the outer ring of the fixed flange 13 .

[0050] The ice storage container 1 of the present solution preferably adopts a split structure; since the present solution controls the temperature difference between the ice storage chamber 111 and the ice outlet chamber 121 based on the thickness of the ice outlet cover 12, the present solution uses a threaded fitting method to install the ice outlet chamber 121 on the outer ring of the fixed flange 13, which can achieve rapid installation and removal of the ice outlet cover 12, and can select frequent installation and removal as needed to determine the optimal thickness of the ice outlet cover 12, thereby ensuring that the material can have the optimal outlet temperature in the ice outlet chamber 121.

[0051] It can be optimized to further include: a heat-insulating shell 3;

[0052] The heat-insulating shell 3 is provided with a heat-insulating cavity 31 , and the ice storage cavity 111 is located in the heat-insulating cavity 31 ; the inner wall of the heat-insulating cavity 31 and the refrigeration end of the refrigeration mechanism 2 form a heat-insulating distance c.

[0053] like Figure 1 The heat-insulating shell 3 is provided with a heat-insulating cavity 31, which surrounds the ice storage cavity 111 and can seal and cover the refrigeration end of the refrigeration mechanism 2, so that the ice storage cavity 111 and its refrigeration mechanism 2 are located in an independent space; and the refrigeration end of the refrigeration mechanism 2 is far away from the inner wall of the heat-insulating cavity 31, and the heat-insulating distance c formed between the two can prevent the external environment from affecting the refrigeration effect of the ice storage cavity 111. In this solution, the refrigeration end of the refrigeration mechanism 2 can be provided with a refrigeration pipe 21, and the refrigeration medium can be passed through the refrigeration pipe 21 to take away the heat of the ice storage cavity 111, thereby keeping the ice storage cavity 111 in a low temperature state.

[0054] Optimally, the opening of the ice storage chamber 111 is located outside the heat preservation chamber 31 , and the fixing flange 13 is exposed outside the heat preservation chamber 31 .

[0055] The heat preservation chamber 31 is mainly used to insulate the main body of the ice storage chamber 111. The opening of the ice storage chamber 111 extends out of the heat preservation chamber 31, mainly to expose the fixing flange 13 outside the heat preservation chamber 31, so as to facilitate threaded cooperation with the ice outlet chamber 121, thereby quickly installing and removing the ice outlet cover 12, while maintaining the refrigeration effect of the ice storage chamber 111. In this solution, the ice storage chamber 111 is provided with a fixing flange 13 at the opening, which is equivalent to increasing the wall thickness of the ice storage chamber 111 at the opening, so that the opening exposed to the outside of the heat preservation chamber 31 has little effect on the temperature.

[0056] Optimally, the width between the inner circle and the outer circle of the fixing flange 13 is greater than the wall thickness a of the ice outlet cover 12 in the ice outlet cavity 121 .

[0057] In the optimal embodiment, since the opening of the ice storage chamber 111 is located outside the heat preservation chamber 31 and the opening of the ice storage chamber 111 is installed with a fixed flange 13, it is possible to consider making the width between the inner circle and the outer circle of the fixed flange 13 greater than the wall thickness a of the ice discharging cover 12 in the ice discharging chamber 121. This is because the fixed flange 13 can effectively increase the opening wall thickness of the ice storage chamber 111, which can not only keep the temperature of the material in the ice storage chamber 111 unchanged throughout the entire process, but also does not need to thicken the opening of the ice storage chamber 111 during the processing, and can also facilitate the rapid installation and removal of the ice discharging cover 12.

[0058] Optimally, the ice outlet 122 is arranged on the bottom wall of the ice outlet cavity 121 and away from the opening of the ice outlet cavity 121; the side wall of the ice outlet cavity 121 gradually moves away from the center of the ice outlet cavity 121 from the bottom wall to the opening, so that the side wall of the ice outlet cavity 121 extends obliquely toward the opening of the ice storage cavity 111.

[0059] The side wall of the ice outlet cavity 121 of this solution may be a straight side wall with zero inclination;

[0060] like Figure 4 , and in the optimal embodiment, the side wall of the ice outlet chamber 121 has a certain inclination angle; specifically, one horizontal end of the ice outlet chamber 121 is an opening, and the other horizontal end is a bottom wall; the ice outlet 122 is arranged on the bottom wall of the ice outlet chamber 121, that is, the ice outlet 122 is horizontally far away from the opening of the ice outlet chamber 121, and when the opening of the ice outlet chamber 121 receives the material from the ice storage chamber 111, the material needs to move along the side wall of the ice outlet chamber 121 and then be output to the ice outlet 122; the side wall of the ice outlet chamber 121 gradually moves away from the center of the ice outlet chamber 121 from the bottom wall to the opening, that is, the side wall of the ice outlet chamber 121 is farthest from the center of the ice outlet chamber 121 at the position close to the opening, and is closest to the center of the ice outlet chamber 121 at the position of the bottom wall; in this way, the side wall of the ice outlet chamber 121 is inclined and extended, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 , the side wall of the ice outlet cavity 121 gradually extends upward from the opening of the ice storage cavity 111 to the ice outlet 122; according to this structure, when discharging the material, it will first be discharged upward along the side wall of the ice outlet cavity 121, and the side wall of the ice outlet cavity 121 can slow down the movement of the material, thereby prolonging the retention time of the material on the side wall of the ice outlet cavity 121, so that the material can be partially melted before being output to the ice outlet 122; and when the ice outlet structure completes the discharge, the material has stayed on the side wall of the ice outlet cavity 121 for a long enough time, and it will melt longer, with more liquid, and can flow back downward along the side wall of the ice outlet cavity 121, thereby accelerating the time for the material to flow back to the ice storage cavity 111, so that the material returns to the ice storage cavity 111; thus. This solution cleverly utilizes the inclination angle of the side wall of the ice outlet cavity 121 to improve the efficiency of discharging and returning materials.

[0061] It can be optimized to further include: a spiral stirring blade 4;

[0062] The spiral stirring paddle 4 is rotatably mounted on the ice storage container 1 and is located between the ice storage cavity 111 and the ice discharging cavity 121 ; the spiral stirring paddle 4 is used to transfer materials between the ice storage cavity 111 and the ice discharging cavity 121 .

[0063] The spiral stirring paddle 4 is rotatably mounted on the ice storage container 1, and is mainly driven by a known mechanism with a driving and rotating function, such as a motor, or a combination of a motor and a reducer, etc.; when the spiral stirring paddle 4 rotates, it drives the material in the ice storage chamber 111 to be output to the ice outlet chamber 121, and the spiral stirring paddle 4 plays a role in stirring the material, which can disperse the material to avoid the material being stored in blocks, and can disperse the ice-like material in the ice storage container 1 into particles, and can also make different ice-like materials evenly mixed (the ice storage container 1 can be used to store different types of materials); at the same time, under the rotation of the spiral stirring paddle 4, the material output can be pushed horizontally toward the ice outlet chamber 121, so that the material is output from the ice outlet 122.

[0064] Optimally, the spiral stirring blade 4 includes: a stirring center shaft 41, a stirring edge 42 and a reflux side plate 43;

[0065] The stirring edge 42 is connected to the stirring center shaft 41 and spirally surrounds the stirring center shaft 41 along the length direction of the stirring center shaft 41. The end of the stirring edge 42 is close to the ice outlet 122.

[0066] The reflux side plate 43 is arranged at the end of the stirring edge 42, and an L-shaped reflux groove 421 is formed between the end of the stirring edge 42 and the reflux side plate 43; the L-shaped reflux groove 421 rotates with the stirring edge 42, and the stirring edge 42 receives the material near the ice outlet 122 in the area of the reflux side plate 43, and removes the material in the area other than the reflux side plate 43, so that the material is away from the ice outlet 122.

[0067] In addition to stirring and conveying materials, the spiral stirring paddle 4 of this solution can also separate the materials at the ice outlet 122 from the ice outlet 122 to prevent the materials from blocking the ice outlet 122. Specifically, the stirring edge 42 is spirally distributed around the outside of the stirring central axis 41. The stirring edge 42 can be connected to the stirring central axis 41 in the middle, or can be connected to the stirring central axis 41 at the end, or at other positions. Since the stirring edge 42 is spirally wound, the two ends of the stirring edge 42 are curvedly extended. A return side plate 43 is installed at the end of the stirring edge 42, and an L-shaped return groove 421 is formed between the two. When the stirring edge 42 rotates, it will drive the L-shaped return groove 421 to rotate cyclically. When the L-shaped return groove 421 rotates, it will scrape the inner wall of the ice outlet cavity 121 near the ice outlet 122 between the stirring edge 42 and the return side plate 43, so that the scraped materials are received between the stirring edge 42 and the return side plate 43. The materials rotate with the L-shaped return groove 421. Since the end of the stirring edge 42 is curved, the return side plate 43 blocks the materials when it is in the low position, and the materials are not easily detached in the area of the return side plate 43. When the return side plate 43 rotates to the high position, the lower part of the stirring edge 42 is hollowed out, and the return side plate 43 no longer supports the materials, so the materials will come out in the area other than the return side plate 43, thus realizing the separation of the materials from the ice outlet 122. The ice outlet 122 is not likely to have residual materials, and thus will not accumulate at the ice outlet 122, reducing the impact of the accumulated materials on subsequent discharging, and also preventing the materials remaining at the ice outlet 122 from freezing. And this solution can simultaneously realize the functions of stirring materials, conveying materials and preventing material accumulation at the ice outlet 122 only by driving the rotation of the stirring central axis 41 with a single driving source.

[0068] The output end of the rotating motor 5 is connected to the spiral stirring paddle 4. The rotating motor 5 drives the spiral stirring paddle 4 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, and is used to push the materials in the ice storage container 1 towards the ice outlet 122 in one rotating direction, and drive the materials away from the ice outlet 122 through the L-shaped return groove 421 in the other rotating direction.

[0069] The rotating motor 5 in this solution is replaced by a known motor; the rotating direction of the rotating motor 5 can be adjusted to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise respectively. As shown in the figure, when the spiral stirring paddle 4 is designed to rotate counterclockwise, the stirring edge 42 pushes the materials in the ice storage container 1 towards the ice outlet 122. In this way, only by keeping the spiral stirring paddle 4 designed to rotate counterclockwise, the materials can be pushed out through the spiral stirring edge 42. After the ice storage container 1 finishes discharging, the rotating direction of the rotating motor 5 can be switched, and the spiral stirring paddle 4 is switched to rotate clockwise, so as to scrape the inner wall of the ice storage container 1 near the ice outlet 122 through the L-shaped return groove 421, and return the materials remaining near the ice outlet 122 to a place far from the ice outlet 122.

[0070] Optimally, the stirring edge 42 of the L-shaped return chute 421 extends from near the ice outlet 122 to the opening of the ice storage cavity 111.

[0071] In an optimal embodiment, the stirring edge 42 extends from near the ice outlet 122 to the ice storage cavity 111. That is, the area of the non-return side plate 43 is to output the material to the ice storage cavity 111 when rotating the ice storage cavity 111. In this way, the material does not fall off in the area of the return side plate 43, that is, the material will not fall off within the ice outlet cavity 121. The return side plate 43 extends to the ice storage cavity 111 (for example, the opening of the ice cavity 111). When the return side plate 43 rotates to the ice storage cavity 111 and no longer supports the material, the material will fall off at the opening of the ice storage cavity 111, thus realizing the rapid return of the material from the ice outlet 122 to the ice storage cavity 111, and it is not easy to accumulate materials in the ice outlet cavity 121.

[0073] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and purposes of the present invention.
