Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shaved ice technology, and in particular to a sugar-free shaved ice making device. Background Technology

[0002] In current technology, making smoothies is already very common in daily life, such as in beverage shops or homes. As people's demand for smart devices becomes more and more widespread, how to improve the intelligence of smoothie making and meet the requirements of different drinks in terms of taste and speed of preparation are important research directions for continuously improving user experience in the future.

[0003] There are generally three methods for making slushies in existing technologies. The first is the physical crushing method, which typically involves first freezing ice blocks of suitable size, then crushing them, and finally sieving them to obtain ice particles of the desired size. This method cannot continuously produce perfectly round ice particles, and the ice particles are prone to melting during the crushing and sieving process. The second is the vacuum rapid cooling method, which requires a complex vacuum system, is uneconomical, and produces ice particles at a high temperature, making it impractical. The third is the direct contact freezing method with refrigerant, which causes water droplets to easily burst, and there is significant adhesion during the freezing process. Although there are various ice particle production devices and the technology is relatively mature, general ice-making equipment requires large crushing machinery, has a complex system composition, is relatively large in size, has low ice particle production efficiency, and the ice particles require refrigeration.

[0004] Chinese utility model patent CN107166831B discloses a continuous ice pellet production device, including an atomizing nozzle, a swirling nozzle, an ice-making chamber, a hollow tube, a hollow circulating nozzle, a mixing chamber, and a precooling chamber. Water is atomized into droplets through the atomizing nozzle, and then sprayed with low-temperature swirling gas through the swirling nozzle. The atomized water droplets freeze to form ice pellets, and the low-temperature gas is further continuously processed into ice pellets through the hollow circulating nozzle. The swirling, entraining, entrainment, and mixing effects of the swirling and hollow circulating nozzles result in rapid ice pellet formation with uniform particle size and high strength. The precooling chamber precools and cools the ice pellets, recovering cold energy, reducing and eliminating heat loss from the low-temperature airflow, and saving energy. The system has a simple structure, small size, light weight, and low manufacturing cost, and can be used for continuous ice pellet production, such as in surface cleaning, rust removal, ice storage, and food processing applications.

[0005] However, the ice pellet making device has a complex structure and is not suitable for daily household use.

[0006] Furthermore, existing technologies typically require the use of sugar's viscosity to solidify liquids into slushies. However, for sugar-free ingredients, which lack viscosity, they need to be made into ice cubes and then crushed to form slushies, which is extremely inconvenient for everyday household use.

[0039] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses a sugar-free smoothie making device.

[0041] A sugar-free smoothie making device, comprising,

[0042] The production container 200 has a raw material inlet 201 and a smoothie outlet 202 for inputting raw material 1 and outputting smoothie.

[0043] The cryogenic container 300 cools the preparation container 200, keeping the preparation material inside the preparation container 200 at a low temperature.

[0044] An air pump 400 is connected to the preparation container 200;

[0045] The air pump 400 pressurizes the inside of the preparation container 200, while the low-temperature container 300 cools the preparation container 200, so that the raw material 1 inside the preparation container 200 forms a high-pressure and low-temperature preparation material; when the preparation material is output from the ice slush outlet 202, it forms a solid ice slush at room temperature and pressure.

[0046] The above is the basic scheme of this embodiment.

[0047] Specific reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the preparation container 200 and the air pump 400 are connected by a conduit a.

[0048] External raw material 1 is input into the preparation container 200 through conduit a and deposited at the lower end of the preparation container 200. The air pump 400 is turned on and pressurizes the preparation container 200 through conduit a. At the same time, the cooling system works to cool the low-temperature container 300. The low-temperature container 300 absorbs the heat from the preparation container 200 and cools it down. The cooling system and the air pump 400 work together to form a low-temperature and high-pressure preparation material in the low-temperature container 300.

[0049] When the ice slush is discharged, the ice slush outlet 202 is opened. The low-temperature and high-pressure preparation material suddenly experiences a pressure reduction at the ice slush outlet 202, thereby condensing to form ice slush.

[0050] In this embodiment, the principle of preparing shaved ice is based on the fact that the freezing point of raw material 1, which has different freezing points under different pressures, is changed by changing the pressure to achieve the purpose of liquid solidification.

[0051] The freezing point of a liquid is the temperature at which it begins to freeze under standard atmospheric pressure. However, the freezing point of a liquid is not always constant; it is affected by changes in pressure.

[0052] In this embodiment, taking liquid water as an example, the freezing point of water at room temperature is 0°C. However, under increased pressure, the freezing point of water will decrease accordingly, that is, the freezing point will be below 0°C. Inside the production container 200, due to the cooling system and the air pump 400, the freezing point of liquid water is lower than 0°C under normal pressure, and at this time the liquid water is in a low temperature state, but still higher than the freezing point under high pressure. Therefore, it remains in a liquid state inside the production container 200.

[0053] When the slush outlet 202 is opened, the liquid water located at the slush outlet 202 suddenly comes into contact with the external atmospheric pressure, causing the freezing point to rise, while the water temperature is still low. At this moment, the water temperature reaches the instantaneous freezing point temperature, and thus freezes to form slush.

[0054] In this embodiment, the cryogenic container 300 is filled with a refrigerant 2.

[0055] Refrigerant 2 is a substance in a refrigeration device that operates in an indirect cooling manner, in which the heat of the object being cooled is transferred to the evaporating refrigerant.

[0056] Preferably, to facilitate the circulation of the refrigerant 2, the refrigerant 2 can be water, brine, ethylene glycol or propylene glycol solution, dichloromethane, trichloroethylene, etc.

[0057] During the preparation of shaved ice, the cryogenic container 300 needs to be kept in a refrigerated state. Therefore, the refrigerant 2 in the cryogenic container 300 needs to be continuously replaced. In this embodiment, the cryogenic container 300 is connected to the refrigerant container 600 through pipe a. The refrigerant container 600 and the cryogenic container 300 form a complete loop and are filled with circulating refrigerant 2.

[0058] The refrigerant 2 in the cooling container 600 circulates through conduit a and the refrigerant 2 in the cryogenic container 300, thereby enabling the refrigerant 2 in the cryogenic container 300 to continuously cool the production container 200.

[0059] During the circulation process, the refrigerant 2 absorbs heat from the production container 200, which raises its own temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the heat absorbed by the refrigerant 2 to ensure the cooling effect of the refrigerant 2. In this embodiment, an evaporator 700 is provided on the outside of the refrigerant container 600, and the evaporator 700 exchanges heat with the refrigerant 2 inside the refrigerant container 600.

[0060] The evaporator 700 is a very important component among the four major refrigeration components. Low-temperature condensed liquid passes through the evaporator 700 and exchanges heat with the outside air, vaporizing and absorbing heat to achieve the cooling effect.

[0061] After the refrigerant 2 in the cooling container absorbs the heat from the production container 100, it enters the cooling container 600 through the conduit a. In the cooling container 600, the heat is transferred out due to the heat exchange caused by evaporation, so that the refrigerant 2 inside returns to a low temperature state. Then, it enters the cooling container through the conduit a again to replace the refrigerant 2 that has absorbed heat in the original cooling container.

[0062] In this embodiment, the evaporator 700 is filled with refrigerant 3, and the evaporator 700 is provided with an inlet 701 and an outlet 702 for the refrigerant 3 to enter and exit.

[0063] Refrigerant 3, also known as refrigerant, is a working substance that continuously circulates in a refrigeration system and achieves refrigeration through its own state changes.

[0064] The refrigerant absorbs heat from the medium being cooled (such as water or air) and vaporizes in the evaporator 700, and then transfers the heat to the surrounding air or water and condenses in the condenser.

[0065] Refrigerant 3 enters the evaporator 700 through inlet 701, absorbs the temperature of the heat transfer container 600 inside the evaporator 700, cools the internal refrigerant 2, and is then discharged from outlet 702 of the evaporator 700.

[0066] In this embodiment, a raw material container 100 is also included, and is connected to the raw material inlet 201 of the production container 200 to provide the production container 100 with the raw material 1 required for making shaved ice.

[0067] A first water pump 50 is provided between the raw material container 100 and the preparation container 200.

[0068] The raw material container 100 contains ice-making raw material 1, which is preferably a liquid, such as water, green tea or other sugar-free liquid.

[0069] A first water pump 50 is installed between the raw material container 100 and the production container 200 to control the input amount of raw material 1.

[0070] Since different liquid raw materials 1 have different freezing points, and the freezing point changes inconsistently with pressure, in this embodiment, the cryogenic container 300 is equipped with a temperature sensor 10.

[0071] The temperature of the material preparation container 200 is controlled by the temperature sensor 10. Different temperatures can be set according to different raw materials 1 to meet the requirements of different raw materials 1 to form slush.

[0072] In this embodiment, the preparation container 200 is equipped with a liquid level detection unit.

[0073] Specifically, the liquid level detection unit includes a high liquid level sensor 20 and a low liquid level sensor 30. The liquid level in the preparation container 200 is detected by the operational detection unit to avoid the liquid level being too high or too low, which would affect the pressurization effect and prevent the smooth preparation of ice slush.

[0074] In this embodiment, the cryogenic container 300 and the cooling container 600 are connected by a second water pump 40.

[0075] When the liquid level in the preparation container 200 remains stable, the first water pump 50 is turned off and raw material 1 is no longer input. At the same time, the temperature display on the temperature sensor 10 also remains stable. Then, the second water pump 40 can be turned off to stop the refrigerant 2 from circulating, so as to ensure that the preparation material in the preparation container 200 is kept at a stable temperature.

[0076] In addition, in order to control the pressure inside the preparation container 200, in this embodiment, a pressure switch 500 is provided on the conduit a connecting the air pump 400 and the preparation container 200. Different raw materials 1 have different freezing points. Therefore, the pressure value of the preparation container 200 can be set by the pressure switch 500 to achieve the pressure difference between the preparation material inside and outside the preparation container 200.

[0077] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
