[0041] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the utility model embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the utility model embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0042] The terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of the utility model are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a method or product comprising a series of technical features does not have to be limited to the clearly listed technical features, and other technical features that can be included in the method or product without being clearly listed can also be included.

[0043] The utility model will be described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments and drawings.

[0044] Figure 1 A snow melting machine is shown, which comprises a machine body 100, a reamer not shown in the drawing and a barrel 200. The machine body 100 comprises an outer shell, an inner frame and a refrigeration system. The inner frame is used to support the machine body to stand upright, and the inner frame is distributed as required within the machine body, such as being distributed at the front and rear of the machine body or being distributed at the four corners of the machine body. The inner frame located at the rear of the machine body is called a rear inner frame, and the inner frame located at the front of the machine body is called a front inner frame. The outer shell is used to define the outer contour of the machine body and also to beautify the machine body. The outer shell is convenient to disassemble in order to assemble and maintain the internal structure of the machine body. The outer shell comprises a side cover 101. The reamer and the barrel 200 can be removed from the machine body 100 for easy cleaning.

[0045] The snow melting machine bearing structure is shown in detail in Figs. 2-7, which comprises an evaporator 110, a water collecting box 120, a support 130 as a machine body component and a barrel 200 that can be removed from the machine body.

[0046] The evaporator 110 is in a cylindrical shape and extends forward and backward.

[0047] The water collecting box 120 is located at the lower side of the evaporator and extends forward and backward. Its bottom is an arc surface and is provided with a drainage hole 124 for draining the condensed water condensed on the outer wall of the barrel and collected by the water collecting box.

[0048] The barrel 200 is sleeved outside the evaporator 110, located on the upper side of the water collecting box 120 and supported by the water collecting box. The rear end of the barrel 200 is provided with a through hole, the diameter of the through hole is larger than the outer diameter of the evaporator so that the barrel can be sleeved outside the evaporator through the through hole.

[0049] Bracket 130 Figure 7 、 Figure 8-9 The device is shown to have a plate-shaped upright mounting portion 131 , a plate-shaped transverse mounting portion 132 , and an upright supporting portion 133 for supporting the upright mounting portion and the transverse mounting portion.

[0050] The rear end of the evaporator 110 is directly or indirectly mounted on the upright mounting portion 121 , and the water collecting box is seated and mounted on the horizontal mounting portion and fixed by fasteners.

[0051] In the illustrated structure, in order to ensure structural strength and reduce assembly steps, the upright mounting portion 131 and the horizontal mounting portion 132 are connected as a whole and are shaped like the letter L. This structure can be stamped out of metal plates and is easy to manufacture.

[0052] exist Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, the upper end of the upright support portion 133 is bent transversely to fit the bottom surface of the transverse mounting portion 132 and is fastened to the transverse mounting portion by fasteners. Figure 8-9 In the illustrated embodiment, a through-hole is defined at the corner of the upright mounting portion 131 and the transverse mounting portion 132. The upper end of the upright support portion 133 is inserted upward into this through-hole, extending to the upper side of the transverse mounting portion 132, abutting against the front side of the upright mounting portion 131 and secured with fasteners. This increases the support capacity of the upright support portion. The upright support portion maintains an assembled relationship with the transverse mounting portion, facilitating fine-tuning of the connection by adding or removing shims based on the product structure, ensuring precise assembly of the product structure.

[0053] In the illustrated structure, the lower end of the upright support portion 133 is fixed to the bottom plate 140 of the machine body, and the bottom plate 140 serves as the foundation of the entire snow melter.

[0054] In the illustrated structure, an upright plate 150 is mounted on the rear end of the evaporator 110. The plate 150, evaporator 110, and upright mounting portion 131 are assembled together, and the rear end of the barrel 200 is sealed against the plate 150 via a sealing ring. This structure provides structural support for barrel removal, particularly ensuring the barrel is sealed.

[0055] In the illustrated structure, the rear end of the evaporator 110 is provided with a flange 111, and the vertical plate 150, the flange 111 and the upright mounting portion 131 are abutted together and fastened by fasteners. Thus, the assembly strength of the vertical plate, the flange and the upright mounting portion is ensured.

[0056] In the illustrated structure, the rear end of the water collection box 120 bends upward and extends out of the housing 121. Housing 121 has a through-hole, and a vertical plate 150 is positioned and fixed to housing 121. The front end 151 of the vertical plate 150 protrudes through the through-hole to the front side of the through-hole and seals with the rear end of the barrel via a sealing ring. Accordingly, different parts of the water collection box are assembled to the upright and horizontal mounting portions of the bracket, respectively, to ensure assembly strength.

[0057] In the illustrated structure, the inner wall of the housing 121 is provided with positioning ribs 122, and the edge of the vertical plate 150 is provided with positioning grooves 152. The positioning ribs 122 are located within the positioning grooves 152, positioning the vertical plate on the inner wall of the housing. This ensures a secure assembly between the vertical plate and the water collection box. In other embodiments, the positioning ribs 122 and the positioning grooves 152 can be interchanged.

[0058] In the illustrated structure, the bottom front portion of water collection box 120 is positioned on the front inner frame of the fuselage via columnar positioning structure 123. Cover 121 is assembled with rear inner frame 180 of the fuselage. Rear inner frame 180 is secured to condenser 160, which is in turn secured to fuselage floor 140. Thus, the water collection box is supported by the bracket while also being positioned and secured by the fuselage's inner frame. This allows the water collection box to be positioned and secured in multiple directions, preventing it from shaking or loosening, allowing it to reliably support the barrel and prevent leakage from the rear end of the barrel.

[0059] In the illustrated structure, a motor-driven rotating shaft 170 runs through the center of the evaporator 110, ensuring a compact structure. A reamer is attached to the front end of the shaft, and the motor is directly or indirectly mounted to the upright mounting portion, thereby securely securing the motor. The reamer surrounds the outside of the evaporator, scraping away frozen food condensed on the evaporator surface and stirring the food within the barrel.

[0060] As mentioned above, the bracket and the internal frame of the machine body together form the load-bearing structure for the evaporator, water collection box, and barrel. This increases the load-bearing capacity and ensures the structural strength of the snow melter. There is no need to worry about structural damage caused by factors such as adding food to the barrel and vibration generated by the snow melter during operation, which helps extend the product life. The internal frame is not completely hidden inside the machine body and can also be exposed to form the external outline of the machine body.
