Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of snow melting machines, in particular to a high-efficiency ice-making device for snow melting machines. Background Art

[0002] A snow melt machine, also known as a slush machine, is a food processing equipment used to make smoothies or smoothie drinks. When in use, first pour liquids such as juice and dairy products into the snow melt machine. After a period of ice making and stirring, the liquid can form a smoothie-like solid-liquid mixture for people to enjoy. The refrigeration device used in existing snow melt machines is mostly a refrigeration roller. The refrigeration roller contacts the liquid and cools the liquid by cold conduction, which eventually makes the liquid appear in the shape of a smoothie. However, the existing refrigeration roller is only provided with a cooling surface on the outermost layer. The liquid can only form heat exchange when in contact with the cooling surface. When there is more liquid or the external temperature is high, its refrigeration efficiency is often relatively low, and the waiting time will also be prolonged, which is not conducive to the formation and sales of smoothies. Therefore, it needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a high-efficiency ice-making device for a snow melt machine includes a refrigeration roller 10. The refrigeration roller 10 is provided with a first ice-making area 11 and a second ice-making area 12. The refrigeration roller 10 is provided with a first stirring member 16 and a second stirring member 17. The first stirring member 16 is provided in the first ice-making area 11, and the second stirring member 17 is provided in the second ice-making area 12. When making smoothies, the beverage mixture to be made is poured into the refrigeration space of the snow melt machine. At this time, the beverage mixture contacts the refrigeration roller 10 and exchanges heat with the first ice-making area 11 and the second ice-making area 12 respectively. The refrigeration roller 10 greatly expands the contact area with the beverage mixture through the first ice-making area 11 and the second ice-making area 12. The refrigeration roller 10 then cooperates with the first stirring member 16 located in the first ice-making area 11 and the second stirring member 17 located in the second ice-making area 12 to improve the heat exchange efficiency between the refrigeration roller 10 and the beverage mixture, thereby greatly improving the forming speed of the smoothie.

[0024] The refrigeration roller 10 includes a roller body 13 made of a thermally conductive material. A first ice-making area 11 is formed on the outer surface of the roller body 13. A hollow hole 14 is provided in the center of the roller body 13 to form a second ice-making area 12 on the inner wall of the roller body 13. In this embodiment, the roller body 13 is made of food-grade stainless steel. The hollow hole 14 is formed in the center of the roller body 13, forming a larger first ice-making area 11 on the outer surface of the roller body 13 and a smaller second ice-making area 12 on the inner wall of the roller body 13. The combination of the first ice-making area 11 and the second ice-making area 12 increases the overall ice-making area of ​​the refrigeration roller 10, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency.

[0025] A cooling tube 15 is wound along the axis of the roller body 13, so that the outer and inner walls of the roller body 13 adjacent to the cooling tube 15 form a first ice-making area 11 and a second ice-making area 12, respectively. In this embodiment, the cooling tube 15 is wound along the axis of the roller body 13 to cool the roller body 13. Furthermore, the cooling tube 15 is wound closely along the axis of the roller body 13, thereby improving the overall temperature balance of the roller body 13 and the efficiency of the cooling tube 15.

[0026] A refrigeration chamber is provided within the roller body 13, and a refrigeration pipe 15 is disposed within the refrigeration chamber. A metal aluminum block is cast within the refrigeration chamber, and the refrigeration pipe 15 is located within the metal aluminum block. In this embodiment, a refrigeration chamber is provided within the roller body 13. The refrigeration pipe 15 is laid within the refrigeration chamber, and molten aluminum is poured into the refrigeration chamber. After the molten aluminum solidifies, a thermal conductive filling layer 21 is formed. In the prior art, since a second ice-making area 12 is not provided on the roller body 13, a foam insulation layer is typically filled within the refrigeration chamber to prevent heat transfer into the roller body 13, thereby achieving a heat preservation effect. In the first embodiment, a second ice-making area 12 is formed within the roller body 13. By filling the refrigeration chamber with a metal aluminum block, the thermal conductivity of the metal aluminum is utilized to quickly conduct low temperatures to the first ice-making area 11 and the second ice-making area 12, so that the temperature within the first ice-making area 11 and the temperature within the second ice-making area 12 are as close to the same as possible, thereby effectively improving ice-making efficiency.

[0027] The first stirring member 16 includes a first support rod and a first ice scraping blade 161. The first ice scraping blade 161 is arranged on the first support rod, and the first support rod is sleeved on the refrigeration roller 10. The first ice scraping blade 161 is arranged in close contact with the first ice-making area 11; the second stirring member 17 includes a second support rod and a second ice scraping blade 171. The second ice scraping blade 171 is arranged on the second support rod, and the second support rod is located in the second ice-making area 12. The second ice scraping blade 171 is arranged in close contact with the second ice-making area 12. In this embodiment, a first stirring rod is formed by a first support rod and a first ice scraping blade 161, and the first support rod supports the first ice scraping blade 161. The first stirring member 16 is sleeved on the outer side of the refrigeration roller 10. At this time, the first ice scraping blade 161 is in close contact with the first ice making area 11. Similarly, the second ice scraping blade 171 is supported by the second support rod, and the second stirring member 17 is located in the hollow hole 14. At this time, the second ice scraping blade 171 is in close contact with the second ice making area 12. By rotating the first stirring member 16 and the second stirring member 17, the beverage mixture located in the first ice making area 11 and the second ice making area 12 can be scraped, so that more beverage mixtures of different temperatures are in contact with the first ice making area 11 or the second ice making area 12 in turn, so as to improve the heat conduction efficiency and thus improve the ice making efficiency.

[0028] The refrigeration roller 10 is provided with an ice scraping drive member, which is in transmission connection with the second stirring member 17, and the first stirring member 16 is in transmission connection with the second stirring member 17. In this embodiment, the ice scraping drive member includes an ice scraping motor 18 and an ice scraping transmission rod 19. The ice scraping rotation rod is located in the hollow hole 14. The driving end of the ice scraping drive motor is in transmission connection with one end of the ice scraping transmission rod 19. The first stirring rod and the second stirring rod are both provided with connecting holes corresponding to the ice scraping transmission rod 19. The second stirring rod is first connected to the ice scraping transmission rod 19 through the connecting hole, and the first stirring rod is then connected to the ice scraping transmission rod 19 through the connecting hole. The ice scraping motor 18 then drives the ice scraping transmission rod 19 to rotate, which in turn drives the first and second stirring rods to rotate.

[0029] The refrigeration roller 10 is provided with a temperature measuring hole, and a temperature measuring rod 20 is provided in the temperature measuring hole. In this embodiment, the temperature measuring hole is provided on the refrigeration roller 10. By disposing the temperature measuring rod 20 in the temperature measuring hole, the temperature on the refrigeration roller 10 can be detected and fed back in real time through the temperature measuring rod, thereby improving the real-time temperature detection of the refrigeration roller 10.

[0030] The roller body 13 is cylindrical, and the hollow hole 14 has a circular cross-section. Orifices communicating with the hollow hole 14 are provided at each end of the roller body 13 to form a cooling channel. The radii of the orifices at each end of the roller body 13 are different, and the radius of the cooling channel gradually increases or decreases toward the orifices at each end. In this embodiment, the roller body 13 is cylindrical, and a cooling channel is arranged to gradually decrease in size from front to back. An ice scraping drive is installed at the end with the smaller orifice, thereby sealing one end of the cooling channel. The larger orifice enhances the drainage effect of the beverage mixture, allowing the beverage mixture to flow through the orifice into the cooling channel, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency between the beverage mixture and the second ice-making area 12. At the same time, the beverage mixture in the cooling channel is moved out of the cooling channel by the second stirring rod, thereby achieving circulating cooling in the second ice-making area 12. Furthermore, the cooling channel can also be arranged to gradually increase in size from front to back according to design requirements.

[0031] The refrigeration roller 10 includes a refrigeration tube 15 wound along a horizontal axis. Food-grade aluminum is cast outside the refrigeration tube 15 to form a roller body 13. The outer surface of the roller body 13 forms a first ice-making area 11. A hollow hole 14 is provided in the center of the roller body 13 to form a second ice-making area 12 on the inner wall of the roller body 13. In a second embodiment, food-grade aluminum is cast outside the refrigeration tube 15 and then coated with a food-grade aluminum block to form the roller body 13. A protective coating is then applied to the roller body 13 to protect it during use. The food-grade aluminum block directly contacts the beverage mixture within the refrigeration chamber of the snow melter, further improving the heat exchange efficiency between the roller body 13 and the beverage mixture.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
