Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an ice making machine, in particular to a snow and ice device capable of manually controlling ice production. Background Art

[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that generates ice by cooling water through an evaporator, which is then cooled by the refrigerant in the refrigeration system. The controller on the machine pumps liquid water into the water box below the roller evaporator. When the water level exceeds the lower sidewall of the roller evaporator, the liquid water coats the sidewall. The rotation of the roller evaporator and the blades positioned on its side simultaneously make ice and scrape off slush, creating slush.

[0003] When the snow and ice machine is first turned on, the refrigeration capacity of the drum evaporator has not yet reached a certain low temperature, so it takes a long time for ice to form and produce ice. The ice is also unevenly distributed at first. After producing a certain amount of snow and ice, the machine is shut down and then restarted to produce ice. This produces a large amount of soft ice that is not solid and has poor quality, wastes raw materials, and is cumbersome to operate. For these reasons, it is necessary to design a snow and ice machine that can manually adjust the ice production to ensure the quality of the snow and ice produced. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a snow and ice device that can manually control ice production, thereby achieving the purpose of manually controlling the quality and output of snow and ice produced by the snow and ice device.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A snow and ice device with manually controlled ice production includes a body and an eccentric drive assembly rotatably arranged on the body. The body also includes a roller evaporator and an ice making bin sleeved on the lower side of the roller evaporator. A scraper is provided on one side of the roller evaporator, and a water storage tank connected to the ice making bin is provided on the upper side of the body. A vertical cavity opposite to the ice making bin is provided on the end of the scraper away from the roller evaporator, and a receiving assembly is provided on one side of the vertical cavity. The lower end of the receiving assembly is sleeved with a discharge hopper passing through the body. The output end of the eccentric drive assembly is provided on the lower side of the ice making bin, and the input end of the eccentric drive assembly is provided with a switch button for manually controlling the quality of snow and ice produced by the equipment.

[0007] Preferably, the vertical cavity is U-shaped and extends to the middle of the refrigerator.

[0009] Preferably, the receiving assembly includes a slide rail and an electromagnet respectively arranged on both sides of the scraper, a receiving plate perpendicular to the vertical cavity is slidably provided on the slide rail, the receiving plate is through-connected with the discharge hopper, and the receiving plate is made of magnetic material.

[0010] Preferably, a return spring connected to the receiving plate is provided in the slide rail, and a fitting portion is provided at one end of the receiving plate close to the scraper.

[0011] Preferably, a liquid inlet pipe is provided inside the refrigerator, the water storage tank includes a liquid outlet pipe penetrating the body, the liquid outlet pipe extends to the middle of the liquid inlet pipe, and an outlet is provided at the lower end of the liquid inlet pipe.

[0012] Preferably, an observation window is provided on the upper side of the machine body, and an inclined end is provided on a side of the observation window close to the receiving component.

[0013] Compared to the prior art, the manually controlled ice production device provided by the present invention allows for manual control of the quality and quantity of ice produced by the ice making device. Specifically, the eccentric drive assembly on the lower side of the ice making bin facilitates manual control of the liquid water supply from the bin to the roller evaporator. The switch button on the drive rod allows the operator to control the power state of the electromagnet. By de-energizing the electromagnet, the receiving plate and scraper can be separated, fully cooling the roller evaporator and improving the soft ice phenomenon caused by low refrigeration capacity.

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more clear, the embodiments of the present disclosure are described in more detail below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments. Note: The described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a snow and ice device with manually controlled ice production, which includes a body 1 and an eccentric drive assembly 2 rotatably arranged on the body 1. The body 1 also includes a roller evaporator 11 and an ice making bin 13 sleeved on the lower side of the roller evaporator 11. A scraper 3 is provided on one side of the roller evaporator 11, and a water storage tank 12 connected to the ice making bin 13 is provided on the upper side of the body 1. By using the eccentric drive assembly 2 and the ice making bin 13 in combination, it is convenient for the device to manually control the distance between the ice making bin 13 and the roller evaporator 11, and flexibly use the liquid water loaded in the ice making bin 13 to realize manual control of ice making by the snow and ice device; and through the control of the switch button 25 and the use of the vertical cavity 31 on the scraper 3 in combination with the receiving assembly 4, it is convenient for the device to manually control the quality of the produced snow and ice, and recycle and reuse the water source for producing uneven ice flakes and soft ice, thereby reducing resource waste and saving ice making steps. A vertical cavity 31, opposite to the ice making bin 13, is provided at the end of the scraper 3 away from the drum evaporator 11. A receiving assembly 4, located on one side of the cavity, drains the ice and snow within the cavity 31. This is achieved through a discharge hopper 5, sleeved at the lower end of the receiving assembly 4 and extending through the body 1. The output end of the eccentric drive assembly 2 is located below the ice making bin 13, while a switch button 25 is provided at the input end of the eccentric drive assembly 2 for manually controlling the quality of the ice produced by the device. This switch button 25 is connected to a computer controller within the device to control the use of the receiving assembly 4, thereby controlling the device's ice production.

[0027] Among them, it is worth mentioning that the eccentric drive assembly 2 is an existing intermittent feeding structure, including an eccentric wheel 21 rotatably arranged on the body 1, a connecting plate 22 sliding on the eccentric wheel 21 and a driving rod 24 fixed on the eccentric wheel 21, and the connecting plate 22 is connected to the ice making machine 13; when the eccentric drive assembly 2 is used, the driving rod 24 is driven to rotate so that the connecting axis of the eccentric wheel 21 and the driving rod 24 becomes the rotating axis, which drives the eccentric drive assembly 2 to rotate, and the connecting plate 22 slides on the eccentric wheel 21, thereby driving the ice making machine 13 to move up and down, adjusting the roller The distance between the drum evaporator 11 and the ice making refrigerator 13 enables the immersion or separation of the drum evaporator 11 and the liquid water in the box, which makes it convenient for the drum evaporator 11 to work after it reaches the ice making temperature and then work, controls the ice production water source of the equipment, and makes it convenient for the drum evaporator 11 to make ice after reaching the refrigeration capacity, thereby saving ice making time; and then, when the switch button 25 is used to control the receiving component 4 and the vertical cavity 31, it is convenient for the equipment to send low-quality snow ice to the ice making refrigerator 13 for water reuse, produce high-quality snow ice, avoid uneven ice falling and soft ice, and facilitate the equipment to make ice again.

[0028] In order to make snow and ice equipment with better quality and reduce waste of resources, such as Figure 5As shown, vertical cavity 31 is U-shaped and extends to the middle of ice making bin 13. It is worth noting that the opening of U-shaped vertical cavity 31 is oriented toward receiving assembly 4, facilitating the scraper 3 to transport scraped ice toward receiving assembly 4 or ice making bin 13. When the drum evaporator 11 is powered on, the soft ice initially produced by the equipment can be introduced into ice making bin 13 through vertical cavity 31, reusing water and saving production costs and improving ice quality. Furthermore, when the eccentric drive assembly 2 drives ice making bin 13 to move materials up and down, it facilitates the movement of receiving assembly 4 within scraper 3, facilitating the coordinated use of receiving assembly 4 and scraper 3, enabling their integration with ice making bin 13.

[0029] In order to better manually control the use of the snow and ice equipment, in some embodiments, the switch button 25 can be connected to the computer controller of the equipment to intelligently control the switch of the electromagnet 43, so that the operator can easily control the quality of the snow and ice produced. The eccentric drive assembly 2 is provided with an eccentric wheel 21 rotating on the body 1, and a connecting plate 22 connected to the ice making bin 13 is slidably provided on the eccentric wheel 21. A drive rod 24 connected to the switch button 25 is provided on one side of the eccentric wheel 21, and a plurality of damping teeth 23 are provided on the eccentric wheel 21. By using the existing eccentric drive assembly 2 in conjunction with the ice making bin 13 in the present device, the operator can conveniently manually control the amount of liquid water used in the drum evaporator 11. Moreover, by conveniently using the drum evaporator 11 in conjunction with the scraper 3 and the receiving plate 42, the operator can control the quality of the snow and ice produced while manually controlling the amount of ice produced by the device, thereby saving the operation steps of the device. When the operator holds the driving rod 24 and rotates the eccentric wheel 21, the connecting plate 22 will slide in the slide groove of the eccentric wheel 21. By setting a plurality of damping teeth 23 on both sides of the slide groove, the sliding position of the connecting plate 22 can be limited, which facilitates the limiting of the driving position of the driving rod 24 and is beneficial to the liquid water transportation of the drum evaporator 11 by the refrigerator 13.

[0030] In order to better control the quality of the snow and ice produced by the equipment, the snow and ice quality control function of the equipment can be added by connecting component 4, such as Figure 5As shown, the receiving assembly 4 includes a slide rail 41 and an electromagnet 43, respectively positioned on either side of the scraper 3. A receiving plate 42 slides on the slide rail 41, perpendicular to the vertical cavity 31. The receiving plate 42 is connected to the discharge hopper 5 and is made of a magnetic material. The receiving plate 42 is sized to fit the vertical groove, facilitating efficient transfer of snow and ice scraped from the scraper 3, thereby improving the transfer rate and quality of the receiving assembly 4. It is worth noting that the electromagnet 43 is connected to the computer controller of the snow and ice equipment and is controlled by turning the switch button 25 on or off. When the electromagnet 43 is energized, it becomes magnetic, magnetically connecting to the receiving plate 42. The receiving plate 42 then penetrates the vertical cavity 31 and engages with the surface of the scraper 3, transferring the snow and ice scraped from the scraper 3. This facilitates control of the quality and quantity of the snow and ice produced by the equipment, thus reducing resource waste.

[0031] In order to further facilitate the continuous manual control of ice production by the equipment, in some embodiments, a reset spring 44 can be provided between the slide rail 41 and the receiving plate 42. When the electromagnet 43 is powered off, the receiving plate 42 can be moved back to its initial position by the reset spring 44, and the receiving plate 42 can be separated from the scraper 3. The discharge hopper 5 is sealed to avoid the removal of poor quality snow and ice, which would cause waste of resources. The discharge hopper 5 can be closed, the cleanliness of the discharge hopper 5 can be increased, and the quality of snow and ice can be improved. The fitting portion 45 can increase the contact area between the receiving plate 42 and the scraper 3, and improve the connection stability between the receiving plate 42 and the scraper 3.

[0032] In order to better manually control ice production and ensure stable delivery of liquid water, such as Figure 2 and 6 As shown, ice making machine 13 is internally provided with a liquid inlet pipe 6. The water storage tank 12 includes a liquid outlet pipe 121 extending through the body 1. The liquid outlet pipe 121 extends to the middle of the liquid inlet pipe 6. An outlet 61 is provided at the lower end of the liquid inlet pipe 6. The interpenetrating connection between the liquid inlet pipe 6 and the liquid outlet pipe 121 facilitates the transport of liquid water during height adjustment of ice making machine 13. Water in the water storage tank 12 flows into the liquid inlet pipe through the liquid outlet pipe 121 and then into ice making machine 13 through the outlet 61, facilitating subsequent ice making operations. It is worth noting that the interpenetrating length between the liquid outlet pipe 121 and the liquid inlet pipe 6 is greater than the vertical movement height of the ice making machine 13 driven by the eccentric drive assembly 2, facilitating the stable transport of liquid water.

[0033] In order to better manually control ice production of snow and ice equipment, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, an observation window 7 can also be provided on the upper side of the body 1. The transparent material of the observation window 7 allows external operators to observe the ice production status of the equipment in real time through the observation window 7, thereby producing snow and ice of better quality. Moreover, the observation window 7 is close to one end of the receiving component 4, and the inclined end is tilted downward, so that the observation range of the observation window 7 can be expanded, which is convenient for the operator to observe flexibly from different perspectives and to comprehensively observe the internal equipment of the equipment.

[0034] Of course, the above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
