Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice hockey manufacturing technology, specifically to ice hockey molds. Background Technology

[0002] Ice hockey refers to a spherical ice block. Ice hockey and cube-shaped ice blocks are the most common ice block shapes used in daily life. Ice hockey is more complex to make than cube-shaped ice blocks, and it requires higher standards for the tools used to make and store ice hockey.

[0003] Traditional ice hockey molds are difficult to remove after freezing because water expands when it freezes. The hockey puck must be loosened by tapping it with tools, but this process often causes the ice to break, making it inconvenient to use. To solve these problems, it is necessary to design an ice hockey mold. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides an ice hockey mold to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions.

[0006] This utility model provides an ice hockey mold, including a mold cup body. A mold cover is fitted on one side of the mold cup body, and a first hemispherical shell is fixedly connected to the other side of the mold cup body. An insert is integrally formed on one side of the mold cover, and a second hemispherical shell is integrally formed on the inner wall of the insert. The second hemispherical shell is larger than half a sphere, and the first hemispherical shell is smaller than half a sphere.

[0007] In some embodiments, a ring is integrally formed on the side of the mold cover away from the insertion tube, and the inner cavity of the ring is provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0008] In some embodiments, one side of the reinforcing rib is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ring, and the other side of the reinforcing rib is fixedly connected to the second hemispherical shell.

[0009] In some embodiments, the second hemispherical shell is a software shell, and the inner wall of the second hemispherical shell is provided with vent holes.

[0010] In some embodiments, a base is fixedly connected to one side of the mold cup body, and one side of the first hemispherical shell extends into the inner cavity of the base.

[0011] In some embodiments, a first convex ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mold cup body, and the number of the first convex rings is multiple.

[0012] In some embodiments, a second convex ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the insertion tube, and the number of the second convex rings is multiple.

[0013] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the mold cup is provided with an inner arc-shaped surface, which is located on one side of the first hemispherical shell.

[0014] In some embodiments, the surface of the cannula is provided with an outer arc-shaped surface, which is located on one side of the cannula.

[0015] In some embodiments, one side of the insertion tube extends into the inner cavity of the mold cup, and one side of the mold cup extends into the inner cavity of the mold cap and contacts the inner wall of the mold cap.

[0016] In any of the above embodiments of this utility model, by setting a mold cup body, a mold cover, a first hemispherical shell, an insert tube, and a second hemispherical shell, the second hemispherical shell is larger than half a sphere, and the first hemispherical shell is smaller than half a sphere. The bottom of the second hemispherical shell is tapered inward, so when taking out the ice ball, the ice ball can be stuck in the second hemispherical shell, making it easy to remove. The second hemispherical shell is made of soft rubber, and the ice ball can be removed by pressing near the vent hole. The ice ball will not get stuck in the first hemispherical shell, making it convenient and quick to remove without damaging the ice ball, thus improving the applicability of the ice ball mold. In addition, when making ice, the inner cavity of the mold cup is filled with water and the mold cover is closed. Excess water is discharged into the inner cavity of the ring through the vent hole.

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-3 The ice hockey mold includes a mold cup body 1, a mold cover 2 fitted on one side of the mold cup body 1, and a first hemispherical shell 3 fixedly connected to the other side of the mold cup body 1. An insert 4 is integrally formed on one side of the mold cover 2, and a second hemispherical shell 5 is integrally formed on the inner wall of the insert 4. The second hemispherical shell 5 is larger than half a sphere, while the first hemispherical shell 3 is smaller than half a sphere. The bottom of the second hemispherical shell 5 curves inward, allowing the ice hockey puck to be easily removed. This ice hockey mold design simplifies the ice hockey making and removal process, helps ensure that ice water does not overflow during freezing, and helps maintain the integrity and consistency of the ice hockey's shape. In particular, the inward curve of the bottom of the second hemispherical shell 5 helps the ice hockey puck to be easily removed, making the process simpler. Users only need to gently rotate or tap the mold to easily release the ice hockey puck, improving ease of use and user experience.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, a ring 6 is integrally formed on the side of the mold cover 2 away from the insertion tube 4. The inner cavity of the ring 6 is provided with reinforcing ribs 7. By setting the ring 6, the contact area with the hand is increased, facilitating the rotation of the mold cover 2 and separating it from the mold cup body 1 for easy removal of the ice puck. Furthermore, the design of the ring 6 increases the grip of the mold cover 2, helping to improve user comfort and control during operation. The reinforcing ribs 7 help enhance the structural strength of the ring 6, ensuring that the ring is not easily deformed or damaged during frequent use, thereby helping to extend the mold's service life. In addition, this design also helps to simplify the ice puck removal process, as the user can easily rotate the mold cover 2 by grasping the ring 6, making ice puck removal simpler and faster, thus improving the user experience.

[0025] In some embodiments, one side of the reinforcing rib 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ring 6, and the other side of the reinforcing rib 7 is fixedly connected to the second hemispherical shell 5. By providing the reinforcing rib 7, the ring 6 and the second hemispherical shell 5 are reinforced, which helps to improve the structural strength of the ring 6 and the second hemispherical shell 5 and helps to reduce deformation caused by temperature changes or material shrinkage during freezing. The provision of the reinforcing rib 7 helps to enhance the overall rigidity of the mold cover 2, making the mold cover less prone to deformation during freezing, thereby helping to maintain the integrity and consistency of the ice ball shape. In addition, this reinforcement measure also helps to improve the durability of the mold cover 2. Even after multiple uses and freezing cycles, the mold cover can still maintain its original shape and function, which helps to extend the service life of the mold.

[0026] In some embodiments, the second hemispherical shell 5 is a soft shell, and the inner wall of the second hemispherical shell 5 is provided with vent holes 8. The vent holes 8 are used for pressure relief. When making ice, water is added to the inner cavity of the mold cup 1 and the mold cover 2 is closed. Excess water is discharged through the vent holes 8. During the freezing process, excess water is also discharged through the vent holes 8 to ensure that the ice cubes are spherical. In addition, the presence of vent holes also helps to ensure that the ice balls can be formed evenly during the freezing process, avoiding irregular shapes or holes in the ice balls caused by excessive water that cannot be discharged.

[0027] In some embodiments, the vent 8 is circular, square, or other shapes.

[0028] In some embodiments, the number of vent holes 8 is one or more.

[0029] In some embodiments, a base 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the mold cup body 1, and one side of the first hemispherical shell 3 extends into the inner cavity of the base 9. By setting the base 9, the first hemispherical shell 3 is supported, which facilitates the horizontal placement of the mold and helps improve the overall stability of the mold. Because the base 9 provides stable support, it helps reduce the risk of the mold tilting or tipping over during use. In addition, the extension of the first hemispherical shell 3 into the inner cavity of the base 9 helps ensure more accurate positioning of the mold during the ice-making process, which helps improve the consistency of ice ball forming.

[0030] In some embodiments, a first raised ring 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mold cup 1, and there are multiple first raised rings 10. This design helps improve the quality and consistency of ice puck forming. The first raised ring 10 helps reduce possible dents or deformations in the ice puck during the forming process, ensuring a smoother and flatter surface, and providing better shape guidance and support during ice puck formation. Furthermore, multiple first raised rings 10 help enhance the structural strength of the inner wall of the mold cup, thereby improving the overall durability of the mold. They also help promote uniform water distribution during ice making, ensuring uniform solidification of the ice puck upon cooling, thus contributing to increased density and hardness.

[0031] In some embodiments, a second raised ring 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the insert 4. Multiple second raised rings 11 are provided. This design helps improve the quality and consistency of ice puck forming. The second raised rings 11 help reduce possible dents or deformations during the forming process, ensuring a smoother and flatter surface and providing better shape guidance and support. Furthermore, multiple second raised rings 11 help strengthen the structural strength of the inner wall of the mold cup, thereby improving the overall durability of the mold. They also help promote uniform water distribution during ice making, ensuring uniform solidification of the ice puck during cooling, thus increasing its density and hardness. Additionally, the cooperation of the first raised ring 10 and the second raised ring 11 increases the friction between the insert 4 and the mold cup 1, making the connection between the mold cup 1 and the insert 4 more stable.

[0032] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the mold cup 1 is provided with an inner arc-shaped surface 12, which is located on one side of the first hemispherical shell 3. This design helps improve the quality of ice puck forming because the inner arc-shaped surface can better guide and support the ice puck forming process, helping to ensure a smoother and more uniform surface of the ice puck. The design of the inner arc-shaped surface 12 helps reduce irregular edges or depressions that occur during the forming process, thereby improving the aesthetics and usability of the ice puck. In addition, the inner arc-shaped surface also helps reduce the adhesion between the ice puck and the inner wall of the mold cup, making the ice puck easier to remove during demolding and improving the user experience.

[0033] In some embodiments, the surface of the insert 4 is provided with an outer arc-shaped surface 13, which is located on one side of the insert 4. The matching design of the outer arc-shaped surface 13 and the inner arc-shaped surface 12 helps to reduce gaps in the ice puck during the forming process, making the insert 4 fit more tightly with the first hemispherical shell 3. This tight fit also helps to reduce air bubbles or depressions generated during the freezing process, ensuring that the ice puck has a better appearance quality when it is finally formed, and the surface of the ice puck is smoother, thereby helping to improve the flatness and smoothness of the ice puck surface. In addition, this design also helps to improve the forming consistency and stability of the ice puck, because the tight fit helps to ensure that the shape and quality of the ice puck are more uniform each time ice is made.

[0034] In some embodiments, one side of the insert 4 extends into the inner cavity of the mold cup 1, and one side of the mold cup 1 extends into the inner cavity of the mold cap 2 and contacts the inner wall of the mold cap 2. This design helps improve the sealing and stability during hockey puck forming. Because the insert 4 extends into the inner cavity of the mold cup 1, it helps ensure a tight connection between the various parts of the mold, thereby helping to reduce potential leakage problems during hockey puck forming. This tight connection also helps ensure that water is evenly distributed during filling, contributing to improved hockey puck forming quality. Furthermore, because one side of the mold cup 1 extends into the inner cavity of the mold cap 2 and contacts the inner wall of the mold cap 2, it helps enhance the overall sealing of the mold, ensuring that no water leaks out during ice making. This design also helps improve the smoothness of the hockey puck surface, as the tight contact helps reduce air residue inside the mold, thereby helping to reduce bubbles and dents on the hockey puck surface.

[0035] In some embodiments, when using an ice ball mold, the inner cavity of the mold cup 1 is filled with water, and the mold cover 2 is placed on top. Excess water in the inner cavity of the mold cup 1 is drained into the inner cavity of the ring 6 through the vent hole 8. During the freezing process, excess water is also drained through the vent hole 8. After complete freezing, the mold cover 2 is rotated to separate the mold tube 4 from the mold cup 1 and remove the ice ball. The mold can be used to make ice balls, which are used to freeze beverages and alcoholic drinks, making it highly versatile.

[0036] This ice puck mold consists of a mold cup 1, a mold lid 2, a first hemispherical shell 3, an insert 4, and a second hemispherical shell 5. The second hemispherical shell 5 is larger than half a sphere, while the first hemispherical shell 3 is smaller than half a sphere. The bottom of the second hemispherical shell 5 curves inward, allowing the ice puck to be easily removed by holding it in place. The second hemispherical shell 5 is made of soft rubber; pressing near the vent allows the ice puck to be removed without getting stuck in the first hemispherical shell 3. This convenient and quick removal prevents damage to the ice puck and improves the mold's versatility. Furthermore, when making ice, the mold cup is filled with water, and the mold lid 2 is closed. Excess water drains through the vent into the annular cavity. During the freezing process, excess water also drains through the vent, protecting the mold and preventing excessive water accumulation in the mold cup from compressing it.
