Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to snow and ice equipment, in particular to an automatic unloading device for snow and ice equipment. Background Art
[0002] A slush machine is a refrigeration device primarily used to make slush and various cold drinks. It rapidly freezes water or other beverage ingredients at low temperatures, creating a smooth, refreshing, and delicious slush. Slush machines come in many varieties, depending on their production methods and functions, such as slush machines and smoothie machines.
[0003] The snow and ice equipment sets the raw material barrel in the opposite direction and uses gravity to transport water to the water tank. The water is then transported to the ice shaft through the water tank to realize raw material unloading. The ice scraper can scrape the condensed ice on the ice shaft to complete the ice making process.
[0004] Existing snow and ice machine unloading devices prevent the raw material barrel from leaking, using a push rod mechanism, a marble mechanism, or a valve mechanism to ensure the raw material barrel remains in the original position without leaking. This mechanism is connected to a water box below after plugging in. However, these leak-proof structures are complex, and when the unloading device is not used for an extended period, the raw material barrel must be manually removed from the unloading device to prevent leakage. Furthermore, some raw material may still spill, resulting in material waste. For these reasons, it is necessary to design an automatic unloading device for snow and ice equipment that can prevent raw material barrel leakage and facilitate flexible raw material access. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide an automatic unloading device for snow and ice equipment, which can prevent the leakage of raw materials in the snow and ice equipment and facilitate the flexible use of raw materials.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0007] An automatic unloading device for snow and ice equipment includes a limit plate and a water tank installed on the snow and ice equipment. A raw material barrel is provided on one side of the limit plate. A connecting pipe is connected between the raw material barrel and the water tank. A through cone is provided on the top of the water tank. A soft rubber plug penetrating the through cone is provided on the bottom of the connecting pipe to prevent leakage when the raw material barrel is used in reverse.
[0008] A closing assembly is provided in the middle of the connecting pipe. The closing assembly comprises a rotatably arranged closing plate and a fixedly arranged output plate, and is used for switching control of water source delivery in the connecting pipe.
[0009] Preferably, a plurality of guide bars are provided on the top of the through cone, the plurality of guide bars are in a conical structure, an inlet is provided between two adjacent guide bars, and the inlet is provided through the through cone.
[0010] Preferably, a sealing sheet is provided at the bottom of the soft rubber plug, a through portion is provided in the middle of the sealing sheet, and the thickness of the through portion is smaller than the thickness of the sealing sheet.
[0011] Preferably, a plurality of fitting sheets are provided inside the soft rubber plug, and the fitting sheets are in a bucket-shaped structure. The wide-mouth end of the fitting sheet is arranged opposite to the sealing sheet for close fitting of the through cone.
[0012] Preferably, one end of the closing plate is provided with a rotating seat rotatably arranged on the connecting pipe, the outside of the rotating seat is movably connected to a sleeve seat, and the output plate is fixedly arranged in the sleeve seat.
[0013] Preferably, a plurality of first openings are provided on the closing plate, and a plurality of second openings are provided on the output plate, and the first openings and the second openings have the same size.
[0014] Preferably, an outer expansion plate is provided on the outer side of the rotating seat, and two positioning rings are provided on the outer side of the sleeve seat.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the automatic unloading device for snow and ice equipment provided by the utility model can prevent leakage of raw materials, flexibly access materials in the raw material barrel, and reduce raw material waste. Specifically, by setting the soft rubber plug on the connecting pipe and the through cone on the water tank, the open end of the raw material barrel can be set to a leak-proof structure. When the through cone penetrates the sealing piece of the soft rubber plug, the connecting pipe can be connected. By using the guide piece to guide the material to the inlet, the material transportation of the snow and ice equipment is realized. By fitting multiple fitting pieces in the soft rubber plug with the through cone, the connecting pipe is conveniently connected, which not only increases the connection airtightness between the soft rubber plug and the through cone, but also facilitates the transportation of materials, prevents leakage of materials, and provides favorable conditions for removing the raw material barrel from the unloading device.
[0016] In addition, by setting a closing component on the connecting pipe, the switch of the connecting pipe can be controlled. By rotating the rotating seat of the outer expansion plate, the overlapping angle of the closing plate and the output plate can be adjusted. The position of the first port can be rotated so that the closing plate can be connected or closed with the second port on the output plate, which is convenient for sealing the material on the upper side of the output plate and prevents leakage when the snow and ice equipment is idle for a long time. It also makes it convenient to remove the raw material barrel from the unloading device, increases the flexibility of raw material use, and reduces raw material waste.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] 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.
[0028] As attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 5As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic unloading device for snow and ice equipment, which is used for leak-proof treatment of the automatic unloading device in snow and ice equipment, can flexibly use the raw materials, and facilitates the removal of the raw material barrel 13 from the unloading device. The unloading device currently used in snow and ice equipment includes a limit plate 1 and a water tank 11 installed on the snow and ice equipment. The limit plate 1 can be used for the raw material barrel 13 to be hung upside down. The raw material barrel 13 and the water tank 11 are connected by a connecting pipe 12 to transport the material. The material is transported to the ice shaft through the water tank 11, so that the material condenses into a solid. By using a tool on one side of the ice shaft, the condensed ice can be scraped out to complete the ice production work. Among them, a through cone 2 is set on the top of the water tank 11, and a soft rubber plug 3 is set at the bottom of the connecting pipe 12 and penetrates the through cone 2, so that a leak-proof structure can be added between the connecting pipe 12 and the water tank 11. The penetration of the soft rubber plug 3 and the through cone 2 can drain the water source in the water tank 11 into the water tank 11 for unloading, which is convenient for leak-proof treatment when the raw material barrel 13 is used in reverse; then, a closing component 4 can be set in the middle of the connecting pipe 12, and the closing component 4 includes a rotatable closing plate 42 and a fixed output plate 44. By rotating the angle of the closing plate 42 and cooperating with the output plate 44, the switch of the connecting pipe 12 can be controlled to regulate the water source in the connecting pipe 12, and the water source above the closing component 4 is sealed, which facilitates the removal of the raw material barrel 13 from the unloading component, reduces the leakage of raw materials, and increases the convenience of using the raw material barrel 13.
[0029] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of guide bars 21 can be set on the top of the through cone 2, and the plurality of guide bars 21 are distributed in a conical structure. A material conveying route is constructed using the plurality of guide bars 21, and then an inlet 22 is opened between adjacent guide bars 21 and is connected to the through cone 2, so that the drained material can be guided into the inlet 22, and then flows into the water tank 11 for conveyance by gravity. The conical structure of the plurality of guide bars 21 is set to facilitate the soft rubber plug 3 to pass through the through cone 2, and increase the connection firmness between the connecting pipe 12 and the through cone 2. The inlet 22 is the conveying end of the through cone 2, which facilitates the conveyance of the material.
[0030] Among them, it is worth mentioning that in order to facilitate the installation of the raw material barrel 13 and the snow and ice equipment, the connection between the raw material barrel 13 and the water tank 11 is leak-proof, and a sealing sheet 31 can be set at the bottom of the soft rubber plug 3, and a through portion 311 is set in the middle of the sealing sheet 31. The thickness of the through portion 311 is set to be smaller than the thickness of the sealing sheet 31. When the soft rubber plug 3 and the through cone 2 are observed, the through portion 311 can preferentially contact the through cone 2. By setting the thickness of the through portion 311 to be smaller than the thickness of the sealing sheet 31, it is convenient for the through cone 2 to penetrate the soft rubber plug 3, and the sealing sheet 31 is used to seal the outer side of the through cone 2 to prevent leakage of material.
[0031] In order to better improve the connection sealing between the soft rubber plug 3 and the through cone 2, as Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of fitting sheets 32 with a bucket-shaped structure can be provided inside the soft rubber plug 3, and the wide-mouth end of the fitting sheet 32 is distributed relative to the sealing sheet 31. When the through cone 2 and the soft rubber plug 3 are penetrated, the plurality of fitting sheets 32 will be sequentially sleeved on the outside of the through cone 2, fitting tightly with the through cone 2, and sealing the gap between the through cone 2 and the soft rubber plug 3.
[0032] In some embodiments, in order to quickly perform a switch process on the connecting pipe 12, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, a rotating seat 41 can be provided at one end of the closing plate 42, and the rotating seat 41 is rotatably provided on the connecting tube 12. The external movable connection of the rotating seat 41 can provide a socket 43 to which the output plate 44 is fixed. Through the movable connection between the socket 43 and the rotating seat 41, the closing plate 42 can be rotated to adjust the overlapping angle between the closing plate 42 and the output plate 44. By cooperating with the output plate 44 and the closing plate 42, the switch of the connecting tube 12 can be controlled.
[0033] Among them, it is worth mentioning that Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of first ports 421 are opened on the closing plate 42, and a plurality of second ports 422 having the same size and shape as the first ports 421 are opened on the output plate 44. When the closing component 4 is applied to the connecting pipe 12 to switch the material in the pipe, the opening state of the second ports 422 on the output plate 44 can be adjusted by overlapping the closing plate 42 and the output plate 44 in different states, so that the output plate 44 can only quickly transport the material on the upper side of the connecting pipe 12 downward when the second ports 422 are aligned with the first ports 421 on the closing plate 42. The second ports 422 can be used to seal the connecting pipe 12 using the closing plate 42 to isolate the material on the upper side of the connecting pipe 12, facilitate the removal of the raw material barrel 13 from the water tank 11, and reduce the waste of raw materials.
[0034] In order to make the closing component 4 more convenient to switch on and off, an outward expansion plate 411 can be set on the outside of the rotating seat 41 to facilitate the angular rotation of the rotating seat 41, and then two positioning rings 431 are set on the outside of the socket seat 43. One positioning ring 431 indicates the connection between the first port 421 and the second port 422, and the other positioning ring 431 indicates the closing of the closing plate 42 and the output plate 44, so that external users can flexibly open and close the connecting pipe 12 through the two positioning rings 431, facilitate the removal of the raw material barrel 13 from the snow and ice equipment, and improve the leak-proof effect of the unloading device.
[0035] 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.
