Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of snow melting machine for making snow and other ice drinks, and particularly relates to a snow melting machine reamer pushing structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] When the snow melting machine works, food is added into the barrel, cooled and cooled by the evaporator, and the food is condensed into ice on the surface of the evaporator. The ice is scraped by the rotating reamer to become snow mud in the form of mud and paste. When eating, the snow mud is discharged from the discharge port at the front end of the barrel. In the process, the food is generally a mixture of snow mud and liquid food. If the mixture is not stirred evenly, there will be temperature differences in different parts of the mixture in the barrel. Moreover, when the mud and paste snow mud is discharged from the discharge port at the front end of the barrel, too much liquid food will be contained, affecting the taste of the food. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
[0003] The technical problem to be solved and the technical task proposed by the utility model are to overcome the defects of the existing snow melting machine, such as uneven stirring of food, and too much liquid food contained in the snow mud discharged from the discharge port, affecting the taste of the food. The utility model provides a snow melting machine reamer pushing structure, which aims to uniformly stir the food in the barrel and reduce the liquid food carried when discharging the snow mud.
[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the snow melting machine reamer pushing structure of the utility model comprises:
[0005] The barrel is provided with a feeding port and a discharge port.
[0006] The cylindrical evaporator is located in the barrel.
[0007] The reamer is located in the barrel and is driven by the driving shaft. The reamer comprises a stirring arm, which extends spirally along the surface of the evaporator. The outer edge of the stirring arm is close to the bottom wall of the barrel. The outer edge of the stirring arm is also provided with an overflow groove.
[0008] When working, the reamer rotates, scrapes the ice-shaped food condensed on the surface of the evaporator, stirs and pushes the food forward. The stirring effect can make the food in each part mixed evenly, and the pushing effect can make the food in the barrel circulate forward and backward, so as to make the food in the barrel tend to the same temperature. Moreover, when the reamer rotates and pushes the food forward, the overflow groove allows the liquid food to flow therein without being pushed forward, while the mud-shaped and paste-shaped snow mud is pushed forward, achieving the effect of screening and filtering, and reducing the liquid food carried by the snow mud discharged from the discharge port.
[0009] Preferably, the stirring arms comprise at least two, and the flow channels of the outer edges of the respective stirring arms are staggered along the axial direction of the evaporator. In this way, when the outer edges of the stirring arms push the slush against the bottom wall of the cylinder, the slush can be pushed aside by the flow channels and remain in place, and at this time, the slush remaining in place is pushed by the outer edges of the other stirring arms, so that all the food in the cylinder is pushed and stirred and does not remain in place, thereby uniformly mixing the food.
[0010] Preferably, the rear ends of the stirring arms are connected to a support ring, and the support ring is sleeved on the rear end of the evaporator. In this way, the stirring arms are prevented from deforming when they rotate to push the food.
[0011] Preferably, the driving shaft is arranged in the center of the evaporator, the front ends of the stirring arms are connected to shaft connecting portions, and the shaft connecting portions are assembled with the driving shaft. Arranging the driving shaft in the center of the evaporator makes the structure compact.
[0012] Preferably, the front ends of the stirring arms are widened to form pushing surfaces. The pushing surfaces can not only push the food out of the discharge port, but also promote the food to circulate back and forth in the cylinder, so that the food is uniformly mixed.
[0013] Preferably, the outer edges of the stirring arms are located on an inscribed circle, and the axial projection area of all the pushing surfaces of the stirring arms is 75%-100% of the area of the inscribed circle. In this way, the pushing effect of the pushing surfaces is ensured.
[0014] Preferably, the flow channels are correspondingly arranged along the axial direction of the evaporator. This facilitates manufacturing.
[0015] Preferably, the flow channels are circumferentially oriented. This matches the rotation of the stirring arms to increase the flow of fluid through the flow channels.
[0016] Preferably, the stirring arms are connected to support rods extending along the axial direction of the evaporator. In this way, the rigidity of the stirring arms is ensured, and the stirring arms are prevented from deforming when they push the food, so that the entire reamer maintains its shape.
[0017] Preferably, the inner edges of the stirring arms are close to the surface of the evaporator or / and the parts of the support rods close to the surface of the evaporator are made into scraping blades. The scraping blades are used to scrape the ice food on the surface of the evaporator.
[0018] The reamer of the utility model extends along the surface of the evaporator in a spiral shape, the outer edges of the stirring arms are close to the bottom wall of the cylinder and are provided with flow channels. When the reamer rotates, the ice food condensed on the surface of the evaporator is scraped down, the food is stirred and pushed forward, the stirring action can uniformly mix the food in each part, the pushing action can make the food in the cylinder circulate back and forth, so that the food in the cylinder tends to be at a consistent temperature. Moreover, when the reamer rotates to push the food forward, the flow channels allow the liquid food to flow therein without being pushed forward, while the slush and paste are pushed forward, thereby achieving the effect of screening and filtering and reducing the liquid food carried by the slush discharged from the discharge port.
[0019] The present invention employs at least two stirring arms, each with a flow groove on its outer edge offset along the axial direction of the evaporator. When the outer edge of one stirring arm pushes the slush from the bottom wall of the cylinder, the flow groove may prevent the slush from being pushed away and cause it to remain in place. In this case, the outer edge of another stirring arm pushes the remaining slush, ensuring that all food in the cylinder is pushed and stirred, preventing it from remaining in place, and thus evenly mixing the food.

[0030] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] The terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the description and claims of the present utility model are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a method or product that includes a series of technical features is not necessarily limited to those technical features clearly listed, and may also include other technical features that are not clearly listed and can be included in the method or product.
[0032] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0033] Figure 1 A snow melting machine is shown, which includes a body 100 and a barrel 200. Generally, the barrel 200 can be removed from the body 100 for easy cleaning.
[0034] Figures 2-3 The reamer pushing structure of a snow melter is shown, which includes a barrel 200 , a cylindrical evaporator 300 and a reamer 400 .
[0035] The barrel 200 is equipped with a feed port 201 and a discharge port 202. The feed port 201 is equipped with a removable lid 203, and the discharge port is equipped with a valve 204 for opening and closing. The bottom wall 205 of the barrel is a circular surface designed to mate with the reamer. A through hole is provided at the rear end of the barrel for attaching it to the evaporator and mounting it to the main body.
[0036] The evaporator 300 is cylindrical, and its axial direction extends in the front-to-back direction. The evaporator 300 is located in the barrel 200 and is arranged concentrically with the bottom wall 205 of the barrel.
[0037] like Figure 4 The reamer 400 is shown positioned within the barrel 200 and driven by a drive shaft 500. The reamer 400 includes a stirring arm 401 that extends spirally along the surface of the evaporator 300. The outer edge of the stirring arm 401 abuts the bottom wall 205 of the barrel. A flow channel 402 is also formed on the outer edge of the stirring arm 401. During operation, the reamer 400 is rotated by the drive shaft 500, scraping off icy food condensed on the evaporator surface, stirring the food, and pushing it forward. The stirring action evenly mixes the food, while the pushing action circulates the food within the barrel, thereby maintaining a consistent temperature. Furthermore, as the reamer rotates and pushes the food forward, the flow channel 402 allows liquid food to flow through it without being pushed forward, while muddy or mushy slush is pushed forward, achieving a filtering effect and reducing the amount of liquid food carried by the slush discharged from the outlet.
[0038] In the structure shown in the figure, the stirring arms 401 include two, and the flow grooves 402 on the outer edge of each stirring arm are staggered along the axial direction of the evaporator 300. Figure 4The spacing S is shown in the figure. Accordingly, when the outer edge of the stirring arm pushes the slush from the bottom wall of the barrel, the slush may avoid being pushed and remain in the flow channel. In this case, the outer edge of another stirring arm pushes the slush away, ensuring that all food in the barrel is pushed and stirred, preventing it from remaining in place, and thus evenly mixing the food. In other embodiments, there may be three stirring arms or a desired number configured as needed.
[0039] In the illustrated structure, the rear end of the stirring arm 401 is connected to the support ring 403, and the support ring 403 is sleeved on the rear end of the evaporator 300. Accordingly, it is ensured that the stirring arm does not deform when rotating to push the food.
[0040] In the illustrated structure, the drive shaft 500 passes through the center of the evaporator 300. The front end of the stirring arm 401 is connected to the shaft connection portion 404, which is assembled with the drive shaft 500. Passing the drive shaft through the evaporator makes the structure compact. Furthermore, the front and rear ends of the entire reamer are supported, ensuring stable operation.
[0041] In the illustrated structure, the front end of the stirring arm 401 is widened to form a pushing surface 405. This can not only push the food out of the discharge port, but also cause the food to circulate back and forth in the barrel to mix the food evenly.
[0042] In the illustrated structure, the outer edge of the stirring arm 401 is located on a circumscribed circle, and the axial projection area of the pushing surface of all stirring arms is 75%-100% of the area of the circumscribed circle, thereby ensuring the pushing effect of the pushing surface.
[0043] In the structure shown in the figure, the flow grooves 402 correspond to each other in the front and back directions along the axial direction of the evaporator, which is convenient for manufacturing.
[0044] In the illustrated structure, the flow groove 402 is oriented in the circumferential direction, which is coordinated with the rotation of the stirring arm to increase the flow rate of the fluid through the flow groove.
[0045] In the illustrated structure, a stirring arm 401 is connected to a support rod 406 extending along the evaporator's axis. This ensures the arm's rigidity, preventing it from deforming due to resistance when pushing food. The stirring arm and support rod support each other, allowing the entire reamer to maintain its shape.
[0046] In the illustrated structure, the inner edge of the stirring arm 401 is in contact with the evaporator surface, and the portion of the support rod in contact with the evaporator surface is formed as a scraping blade 407 for scraping off frozen food on the evaporator surface. In other embodiments, only the inner edge of the stirring arm or the portion of the support rod in contact with the evaporator surface can be used to scrape off frozen food on the evaporator surface.
[0047] The reamer pusher mechanism of the snow melter rotates the reamer 400 along with the drive shaft 500 during operation. Because the shaft connection at the front end of the reamer is supported by the drive shaft and the support ring at the rear end of the reamer is supported by the evaporator, the reamer can maintain its coordinated relationship with the evaporator and the bottom wall of the barrel, scraping off ice-like food condensed on the evaporator surface, stirring, mixing, and pushing the food forward. The stirring effect can evenly mix the food in various parts, and the pushing effect can circulate the food in the barrel back and forth, thereby maintaining a consistent temperature within the barrel. When the reamer rotates to push the food forward, the flow trough allows liquid food to flow through it without being pushed forward, while muddy and pasty slush is pushed forward, achieving a screening and filtering effect, reducing the amount of liquid food carried by the slush discharged from the outlet.
