[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model will be described in further detail below in combination with the drawings. Only by this declaration, the up, down, left, right, front, back, inside and outside directions of the utility model appearing or about to appear in the text are based on the drawings of the utility model, and they are not the specific limitation of the utility model.

[0031] Referring to Figures 1-4 , the utility model discloses an ice making device which comprises a heat preservation shell 1, a material making mechanism and a stirring mechanism.

[0032] The material making mechanism comprises a material making container 2 which is provided with a material making cavity 21 and a material making hole 23 which is communicated with the material making cavity 21; the heat preservation shell 1 is sleeved on the material making container 2, and the heat preservation shell 1 is provided with a heat preservation hole 11 which is correspondingly arranged with the material making hole 23. Wherein, the material making hole 23 and the heat preservation hole 11 are coaxially arranged.

[0033] The stirring mechanism includes a stirring assembly 4, a coupling assembly, and a driving mechanism. The stirring assembly 4 is disposed in the material preparation chamber 21. The driving mechanism includes a driving body 10 and a driving shaft 101. The coupling assembly is installed on the material preparation container 2 and the heat preservation shell 1. The driving shaft 101 is disposed on the coupling assembly so that the driving shaft 101 passes through the material preparation hole 23 and the heat preservation hole 11. The driving body 10, the driving shaft 101, and the stirring assembly 4 are connected in sequence.

[0034] This novel ice-making device features an insulated shell surrounding the material-making container. This shell isolates the container from the outside air, reducing heat exchange and effectively maintaining its temperature, resulting in high ice-making efficiency. Furthermore, the insulated shell strengthens the drive mechanism and the stirring assembly within the container. Specifically, the drive unit is connected to the stirring assembly via a drive shaft. The drive shaft passes through the material-making hole and the insulated hole via a coupling assembly, which is fixedly connected to both the insulated shell and the material-making container. This two-point support between the insulated shell and the container ensures a more stable and reliable installation of the coupling assembly, which in turn makes the drive shaft more secure and reliable, thus ensuring a reliable and stable connection between the drive unit and the stirring assembly. Simultaneously, the insulated shell's fixed connection to the container via the coupling assembly further enhances the reliability and stability of the connection, resulting in a simple, compact, and reliable overall structure.

[0035] It should be noted that the drive body 10 is preferably a drive motor. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the stirring assembly 4 includes a stirring shaft 41 and stirring blades 42 disposed on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 41. The stirring shaft 41 rotates to drive the stirring blades 42 to rotate. Specifically, one end of the drive shaft 101 is connected to the drive body 10, and the other end is connected to the stirring shaft 41.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the coupling assembly includes a first coupling 5, a second coupling 6, and a third coupling 7, which are connected in sequence. The first coupling 5 is located on the outer wall of the insulation shell 1, the second coupling 6 is located between the insulation shell 1 and the material preparation container 2, and the third coupling 7 is located on the inner wall of the material preparation container 2. The drive shaft 101 passes through the first coupling 5, the second coupling 6, and the third coupling 7.

[0037] A limiting frame is provided on the outer wall of the insulation shell 1. The first coupling 5 is located inside the limiting frame and is fixedly connected to the second coupling 6 by screws, thus clamping the insulation shell 1. That is, the first coupling 5, the insulation shell 1, and the second coupling 6 are fixedly connected. The first coupling, the second coupling, and the third coupling cooperate to support the drive shaft, so that the drive shaft is reliably positioned in the insulation hole and the feeding hole, and the drive body effectively drives the stirring assembly to rotate in the feeding container.

[0038] Preferably, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first coupling 5 is provided with a first bushing 51, and the third coupling 7 is provided with a second bushing 71; the second bushing 71 is inserted into the second coupling 6, and the first bushing 51 is inserted into the second coupling 6 and the second bushing 71; the drive shaft 101 passes through the first bushing 51 and the second bushing 71.

[0039] The third coupling 7 is secured to the inner wall of the material preparation container 2. The second bushing 71 passes through the material preparation hole 23 and is inserted into the second coupling 6. The first bushing 51 of the first coupling 5 passes through the insulation hole 11 and is inserted into the second coupling 6, while simultaneously being inserted into the second bushing 71 of the third coupling 7. This makes the connection between the first, second, and third couplings more compact, stable, and reliable, thereby ensuring reliable transmission of the drive shaft.

[0040] Better, such as Figure 3 As shown, the coupling assembly further includes a first seal 8 and a second seal 9. The first seal 8 is disposed inside the second bushing 71 and sleeved outside the drive shaft 101; the second seal 9 is sleeved outside the drive shaft 101 and connected to the third coupling 7. The first seal reduces the gap between the first and third couplings, resulting in a tighter connection, while also preventing foreign objects from entering the material preparation chamber and reducing heat exchange. The second seal reduces friction between the drive shaft and the third coupling, further preventing foreign objects from entering the material preparation chamber and further reducing heat exchange.

[0041] The heat insulation shell 1 has a semi-circular cross-sectional shape at the top and a square cross-sectional shape at the bottom. The heat insulation shell 1 has a cylindrical receiving cavity inside, and the material preparation container 2 is at least partially disposed within the receiving cavity.

[0042] Preferably, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the insulation shell 1 includes a first insulation shell 13 and a second insulation shell 14, which are joined together to form an insulation cavity 12; the material preparation container 2 is disposed within the insulation cavity 12. Specifically, the first insulation shell 13 and the second insulation shell 14 are snap-fit ​​connected, making installation simple and convenient. The first and second insulation shells enclose the material preparation container, effectively providing insulation.

[0043] Among them, such as Figure 2As shown, the material preparation mechanism further comprises a refrigeration pipe 3, one end of which is wound on the outer sidewall of the material preparation container 2 and the other end of which extends out of the heat preservation shell 1. The refrigeration pipe is filled with refrigeration liquid, which exchanges heat with the material preparation container and takes away the heat in the material preparation container. The refrigeration pipe is also arranged in the heat preservation cavity and has the other end extending out of the heat preservation shell and connected with the compressor and the condenser respectively.

[0044] It should be noted that, as Figures 1-2 shown, the material preparation container 2 is provided with a feeding pipe 22 communicating with the material preparation cavity 21, and the heat preservation shell 1 wraps the feeding pipe 22. The feeding pipe is used to deliver raw materials into the material preparation cavity for material preparation. In order to further reduce the heat effect, the heat preservation shell also wraps the feeding pipe.

[0045] In addition, as Figure 2 shown, the driving body 10 is connected with the driving shaft 101 through a connecting assembly (not shown in the figure). The connecting assembly is arranged to make the axis of the driving body and the driving shaft form a certain angle, for example, 90 degrees, so that the overall length of the ice making device can be reduced and space can be saved. The connecting assembly can adopt the structure of the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0046] Correspondingly, referring to Figures 1-4 , the utility model also discloses a cold drink machine, the cold drink machine is ice cream machine or ice slush machine or ice slush ice cream multifunctional machine, it includes machine body 200 and above-mentioned ice making device, the heat preservation shell 1 and driving body 10 all are located in machine body 200, the machine body 200 top is equipped with feed inlet 201, the feed inlet 201 and material preparation cavity 21 communicate, the material preparation container 2 is equipped with feeding pipe 22, and the feed inlet 201 is communicated with material preparation cavity 21 through feeding pipe 22.
