The seal 1 is sandwiched between the evaporation device 2 and the smoothie tube 3. The seal 1 includes an evaporation seal portion 11 for mounting and sealing with the evaporation device 2 and a barrel seal portion 12 for contact sealing with the smoothie tube 3; wherein the evaporation seal portion 11 is provided with a plug-in seal groove 111 for plug-in sealing;

The abutting sealing portion 122 is provided with an inclined surface 123 for contacting the end surface of the smoothie barrel 3. The abutting sealing portion 122 is provided with a deformation sealing groove 124 corresponding to the inclined surface 123 to provide deformation space for the compressive deformation of the inclined surface 123.
[0034] Specifically, the sealing member 1 is ring-shaped, and the evaporation sealing portion 11 is located inside the barrel sealing portion 12 . Therefore, when the smoothie barrel 3 is pressed against the inclined surface 123 , a sealing line of defense can be provided for the evaporation sealing portion 11 .
[0035] The slot opening of the plug-in sealing groove 111 is provided with an abutting sealing edge 112 made of elastic material. One end of the abutting sealing edge 112 is connected to one side of the slot body of the plug-in sealing groove 111, and the other end of the abutting sealing edge 112 is connected to the other side of the slot body of the plug-in sealing groove 111 with a predetermined insertion gap a.
[0036] The inner side wall of the sealing member 1 is provided with an auxiliary sealing edge 13 inclined outward, and at least two auxiliary sealing edges 13 are provided.
[0037] Combine Figure 4 and Figure 5 The present invention further provides a snow melter, comprising the sealing member 1, an evaporation device 2 and a smoothie tube 3. The evaporation device 2 comprises a main body 21, an evaporation tube 22 for cooling, and a sealing end cover 23 for mounting the evaporation tube 22. The sealing member 1 is mounted on the sealing end cover 23. The sealing end cover 23 is provided with a device hole 231 for the evaporation tube 22 to pass through.
[0038] The evaporation cylinder 22 is covered in the smoothie cylinder 3, and the cylinder sealing portion 12 is embedded in the cylinder mouth of the smoothie cylinder 3. The end surface of the cylinder mouth of the smoothie cylinder 3 conflicts with the inclined surface 123.
[0039] The evaporation sealing portion 11 is provided with a plug-in sealing groove 111 for plug-in sealing, and the sealing end cover 23 is provided with a plug-in sealing ring 232 for inserting into the plug-in sealing groove 111, thereby preventing liquid from penetrating into the interior of the main body 21 through the gap between the inclined surface 123 and the sealing end cover 23. Figure 2-3 The structures shown are the same and will not be described in detail here.
[0040] The sealing member 1 is relatively sleeved on the evaporating tube 22 , so the provision of the auxiliary sealing edge 13 can prevent liquid from flowing along the side wall of the evaporating tube 22 through the equipment hole 231 into the main body 21 .
[0041] Furthermore, the cross section of the plug-in sealing ring 232 is n-shaped and is formed by sequentially connecting an inserting edge 2321 , a connecting edge 2322 and an abutting edge 2323 ; accordingly, the connecting edge 2322 is adapted to the shape of the bottom of the plug-in sealing groove 111 .
[0042] An abutting sealing edge 112 is provided at the slot opening of the plug-in sealing slot 111 , and the abutting sealing edge 112 is made of an elastic material, such as rubber.

[0045] In order to ensure that the abutting sealing portion 122 can fit with the surface of the sealing end cover 23 when the smoothie tube 3 is not installed, the edge of the abutting sealing portion 122 is provided with an elastic snap-fitting column 24 for sealingly connecting with the sealing end cover 23, and the sealing end cover 23 is provided with a snap-fitting hole 233 adapted to the elastic snap-fitting column 24, and the elastic snap-fitting column 24 is provided with a tapered portion 241 for squeezing into the snap-fitting hole 233, and the maximum diameter of the tapered portion 241 is larger than the snap-fitting hole 233, so as to limit the elastic snap-fitting column 24 from actively disengaging from the snap-fitting hole 233, so that the elastic snap-fitting column 24 itself uses its own elastic contraction force to keep the abutting sealing portion 122 and the sealing end cover 23 in a state of mutual fit.
[0046] 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.
