Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice maker technology, specifically to a narrow-type shaved ice maker. Background Technology

[0002] A shaved ice maker is an ice machine that can be used to make shaved ice. It includes an ice-forming roller and a scraper. The scraper is located around the circumference of the ice-forming roller. When a certain thickness of ice layer accumulates on the ice-forming roller, the ice layer will touch the scraper. Therefore, the scraper will cut the ice layer to obtain shaved ice. By repeating this process, shaved ice can be made continuously.

[0003] When the icing drum rotates, it needs to be driven by a power structure. Therefore, the existing shaved ice maker is relatively large and is mainly used in commercial environments. When it is necessary to further reduce the size when it is introduced to homes, it is necessary to consider further reducing the size. This application proposes a narrow shaved ice maker, which is conducive to reducing the size in the horizontal width. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to propose a narrow-shaped shaved ice maker, which is beneficial to reduce the size in the horizontal width.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a narrow shaved ice maker, including an ice-forming drum and a scraper, the scraper being located on the front side of the ice-forming drum, and also including a gear transmission structure and an electric motor. The housing of the gear transmission structure has a flat design, and the front end of the housing is located at one of the two ends of the axial direction of the ice-forming drum, where the input gear is located. The length direction of the housing is perpendicular to the axial direction of the ice-forming drum. The front end of the housing has an opening to expose the output gear, which meshes with the input gear for transmission. The input end of the housing is connected to the electric motor, and the electric motor is located inside the housing. After being reduced in speed by multiple gears, the electric motor finally outputs power through the output gear to drive the input gear to rotate.

[0006] With the above structure, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0007] Because the housing of the gear transmission structure is flat, the front end of the housing is located at one of the ends of the icing drum along its axial direction, where the input gear is located. The length direction of the housing is perpendicular to the axial direction of the icing drum. The front end of the housing has an opening to expose the output gear, which meshes with the input gear for transmission. The rear end of the housing is connected to the electric motor, which is located inside the housing. Therefore, in terms of lateral width (i.e., along the axial direction of the icing drum), the gear transmission structure and the electric motor are positioned closer to the end of the icing drum, which helps to reduce the size in terms of lateral width.

[0008] Preferably, the device also includes an isolation cover that opens toward the scraper side and surrounds the icing roller, the isolation cover having a side partition between the icing roller and the housing, and the rear side plate of the isolation cover separating the icing roller from the electric motor.

[0009] Preferably, the side partition is composed of two parts, a front part and a rear part, which are spliced ​​together. The front part is provided by the upper cover of the bearing seat of the icing roller.

[0010] Preferably, the rear is connected to a bend that separates the front end of the housing from the aforementioned end, and the bend is provided with a through hole or through slot for the output gear to mesh with the input gear.

[0011] Preferably, a portion of the output gear engages with the input gear via a through hole or slot.

[0012] Preferably, the housing also includes a bearing housing located at the aforementioned end, the bearing housing including a top cover and a base, the top cover and the base being detachably connected vertically, a bearing and an input gear being installed between the top cover and the base, and the front end of the housing being located at the rear side of the bearing housing.

[0013] Preferably, a connecting partition is provided between the front end of the housing and the rear side of the bearing seat, and the front end of the housing is connected to the connecting partition.

[0014] Preferably, the partition and the base are integrated; in the case of an isolation cover, the isolation cover, the connecting partition and the base are integrated.

[0015] Preferably, the inner and outer sides of the shell are respectively provided with a first support plate and a second support plate, and the upper ends of the first support plate and the second support plate are respectively connected to the inner and outer sides of the shell.

[0016] As a preferred design, the structure consists of two layers: the electric motor, gear transmission structure, ice-forming roller, and scraper are located on the upper layer, while the compressor and condenser of the narrow shaved ice maker are located on the lower layer.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To better understand this application, various aspects of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these detailed descriptions are merely illustrative of exemplary embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application in any way. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements.

[0027] In the accompanying drawings, for illustrative purposes only, the drawings are not drawn to scale.

[0028] It should also be understood that the terms “comprising,” “including,” “having,” “containing,” “comprise,” and “containing”, when used in this specification, indicate the presence of the described features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, a narrow-type shaved ice maker is disclosed, including a compressor 20, a condenser 21, an ice-forming drum 1, and a scraper 2. The scraper 2 is located on the front side of the ice-forming drum 1. It also includes a gear transmission structure 3 and an electric motor 4. The housing 5 of the gear transmission structure 3 has a flat design. The front end 23 of the housing 5 is located at one of the two ends of the axial direction of the ice-forming drum 1, where an input gear 6 is provided. The length direction of the housing 5 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the ice-forming drum 1. The front end 23 of the housing 5 has an opening to expose an output gear 7. The output gear 7 meshes with the input gear 6 for transmission. The rear end of the housing 5 has an input end, which is connected to the electric motor 4. The electric motor 4 is located inside the housing 5. After being reduced in speed by multiple gears, the electric motor 4 finally outputs power from the output gear 7 to drive the input gear 6 to rotate.

[0030] In this example, as Figure 6 , 7 As shown, the gear transmission structure 3 with the flat design of the housing 5 includes two side shells, inner and outer. The two side shells are spliced ​​together along the axial direction of the icing roller 1 to form a cavity. The gears mesh sequentially in the cavity along the transmission direction, that is, the gears mesh sequentially from the electric motor 4 side of the housing 5 to the front end 23 of the housing 5, and finally an opening is provided at the front end 23 to expose the output gear 7.

[0031] Of course, the gear transmission structure 3 with the flat design of the housing 5 can also be other structures. Any gear transmission structure 3 with the flat design of the housing 5 that is applicable to this disclosure can be applied to this disclosure.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 , 7 As shown, the inner and outer sides of the housing 5 are respectively provided with a first support plate 18 and a second support plate 19. The upper ends of the first support plate 18 and the second support plate 19 are connected to the inner and outer sides of the housing 5, respectively. In this way, the housing 5 is provided with better support and the increase in lateral dimension is small.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , 8 As shown, it also includes an isolation cover 8 that opens towards the scraper 2 and surrounds the icing roller 1. The isolation cover 8 has a side partition 9 between the icing roller 1 and the housing 5, and a rear side plate 10 of the isolation cover 8 separates the icing roller 1 from the electric motor 4. This blocks cold air, thereby facilitating the operation of the gear transmission structure 3 and the electric motor 4, and improving durability. The isolation cover 8 is configured as an L-shape or a U-shape.

[0034] Since the icing drum 1 rotates continuously during operation, in order to better facilitate the rotation process, in some embodiments, such as... Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 8, an upper cover 13 and a base 15 are provided at both ends of the icing drum 1. A bearing 16 is provided between the upper cover 13 and the base 15, and the icing drum 1 is rotatably supported by the bearing 16. Since it is necessary to drive the icing drum 1 to rotate, an input gear 6 is required. In this example, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, the input gear 6 is located at the right end of the icing drum 1, so the gear transmission structure 3 and the electric motor 4 are also located at the right end of the icing drum 1.

[0035] For better isolation, and for easier assembly, such as Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the side partition 9 is composed of two parts, a front part 11 and a rear part 12, which are spliced ​​together. The front part 11 is provided by the upper cover 13 of the bearing seat of the icing roller 1.

[0036] To further enhance isolation, such as Figure 4 As shown, the rear part 12 is connected to a bend 14, which separates the front end 23 of the housing 5 from the aforementioned end. The bend 14 is provided with a through hole or through groove for the output gear 7 to mesh with the input gear 6.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , 5 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, a connecting partition 17 is provided between the front end 23 of the housing 5 and the rear side of the bearing seat, and the front end 23 of the housing 5 is connected to the connecting partition 17. In this way, the front end 23 of the housing 5 has a certain fixing and positioning function, which is conducive to realizing the meshing transmission between the output gear 7 and the input gear 6.

[0038] Furthermore, for a higher precision fit, the partition plate and the base 15 are integrally formed. In this way, after the front end 23 of the housing 5 is connected to the connecting partition plate 17, it can fit with the input gear 6 set on the base 15 with higher precision.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, in the case of having an isolation cover 8, the isolation cover 8, the connecting partition 17, and the base 15 are integrally formed. In this case, the connecting partition 17 also serves as the bend 14. This not only simplifies the structure but also achieves the functions of isolation and connection.

[0040] The integrated design can be manufactured using injection molding, or it can be manufactured using other materials through integrated molding processes.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 , 6As shown in Figures 7 and 8, this disclosure is divided into upper and lower layers. The structure consisting of the electric motor 4, gear transmission structure 3, ice-forming roller 1, and scraper 2 is located in the upper layer, while the compressor 20 and condenser 21 of the narrow shaved ice maker are located in the lower layer. In this way, the structure is more compact, the volume is reduced, and the lateral dimensions are better controlled.

[0042] When understanding this utility model, the above structure may be referred to other embodiments / appendices if necessary. Figure 1 And that is understood, so I will not elaborate further here.

[0043] The above description is merely an illustrative embodiment of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features, and principles described in the scope of protection of this utility model are included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
