Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice transportation technology, and in particular to an ice transportation device. Background Technology
[0002] An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that produces ice by cooling water through an evaporator with a refrigerant in a refrigeration system. Using a refrigeration system with water as the carrier, ice is produced when the water passes through a device under power. The resulting ice has a small surface area exposed to the outside, making it less prone to melting. It can be pulverized into various shapes to meet different requirements. For large ice blocks, after production, they need to be sequentially discharged from the ice maker and transferred to refrigerated trucks for rapid transport, or temporarily stored in low-temperature warehouses to prevent melting. Currently, ice transport often uses wheeled conveyors, but the large ice blocks produced by the ice maker exert significant impact on the conveyor belt surface when falling onto it, easily causing belt deformation and damage. Simultaneously, the ice blocks may also fragment or even partially break under the reaction force, affecting overall transport efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ice transport device that buffers and transitions the produced ice blocks before horizontally transporting them onto a tire for shaping and transport. This avoids the ice blocks falling directly onto the tire and causing relative collision damage, thereby improving the overall efficiency and stability of the transport.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an ice transport device, including a frame, the top of which is provided with several slots, a buffer frame is fixedly fitted at the center of the inner side of the frame, the top of the buffer frame is provided with symmetrical sliding grooves, the bottom of the inner side of the sliding grooves is provided with elastic pads, the top of each elastic pad is fixedly connected with a sliding plate, the outer side of the sliding plate slides up and down along the sliding grooves and is connected to the buffer frame, several output rollers are equidistantly arranged above the buffer frame, wherein the front end of the output roller located at the center of the front side of the buffer frame is rotatably engaged with a drive rotor, the other ends of the output rollers are rotatably engaged with a rotating frame, the rotating frame and the drive rotor are slidably fitted into the slots of the frame, and the bottom of both are fixedly connected to the sliding plate, a pad strip is fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the frame, a platform is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the frame, rotating seats are symmetrically arranged at the center of the top side of the platform, and a frame plate is fixedly connected to the center of the top of each rotating seat. The frame plate moves around the rotating seat. A tire is provided on the top right side of the frame. Pulleys are symmetrically fitted on the inner side of the tire. Rotating shafts are fixedly connected to the inner side of the pulleys in both the front and rear directions. A drive motor is rotatably fitted to the front end of the rotating shaft located on the left side of the tire. Bushings are rotatably fitted to the remaining ends of the rotating shaft. The top of the frame plate is fixedly connected to the drive motor and bushings respectively. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bushings located on the right side of the tire. A multi-stage hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the fixing plate. A rolling seat is fixedly connected to the bottom outer side of the multi-stage hydraulic cylinder. Rolling balls are embedded and rolled at the bottom of the rolling seat. By setting up several output rollers between the tire and the ice maker outlet, and cooperating with a buffer frame and elastic pad, the ice blocks are buffered and transitioned. Then, the ice blocks are horizontally transported onto the tire by the drive rotor for shaping and transportation. This avoids the ice blocks falling directly onto the tire and causing relative collision and loss, thus improving the overall transportation efficiency and stability.
[0005] According to the ice transport device described above, the outer side of the output roller is covered with a rubber sleeve. This provides secondary elastic cushioning when the ice block falls and contacts the conveyor roller, maximizing the integrity of the ice block.
[0006] According to the ice transport device described above, limit washers are symmetrically fixed to the outer edges of both ends of the rubber sleeve to prevent the ice from slipping to the sides.
[0007] According to the ice transport device described above, a drainage trough is provided on the lower left side of the frame, and the drainage trough connects to the inner side of the buffer frame to the right. This facilitates the rapid drainage of ice water and prevents its accumulation.
[0008] According to the ice transport device described above, limit frames are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the tire, and the left and right ends of the limit frames are fixedly connected to the drive motor and the bushing, respectively, to ensure the stability of the tire transport.
[0009] According to the ice transport device described above, a partition is fixedly attached to the top of the frame. This prevents dust or ice fragments from falling into the slot at the top of the frame, causing contamination, and affecting the sliding effect of the skateboard.
[0010] The above-mentioned solution has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] In this invention, several output rollers are installed between the tire and the outlet of the ice maker, and a buffer frame and elastic pad are used to buffer and transition the ice blocks. Then, the ice blocks are horizontally transported onto the tire by the drive rotor for shaping and transportation. This avoids the ice blocks falling directly onto the tire and causing relative collision and loss between the two, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of the overall transportation.
