[0033] Further explanation is needed:

[0034] 1. Ice making mechanism 3

[0035] Working principle of ice making assembly 302: The compressor in the ice making assembly 302 plays a key role. It raises the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant by compressing it, and then the refrigerant enters the condenser. In the condenser, the refrigerant exchanges heat with the outside world, releases heat and reduces temperature, and becomes liquid again. In this process, a large amount of heat is absorbed from the surrounding environment, creating a low-temperature environment, so that the ice bank temperature in the ice making machine shell 301 can be maintained at -10℃, allowing water to freeze smoothly, and the final ice cubes are discharged through the ice outlet 304 and enter the subsequent storage and conveying link.

[0036] Function characteristics of water supply assembly 303: The external pure water pipe joint of the water supply assembly 303 ensures the continuous and stable supply of water source, which is very important for uninterrupted ice making. The internal ultraviolet disinfection device is used for sterilization and disinfection of the entering water from the health point of view, effectively removing bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms that may exist in the water, ensuring that the ice cubes produced are pure and sanitary, meeting relevant standards such as food safety, and can be used with confidence in various ice cube requiring scenes, such as the catering industry, fresh-keeping in cold chain transportation, etc.

[0037] Ice cube conveying link: The prepared ice cubes start from the ice storage tank 305, are orderly guided through the ice cube guide groove 306, and can accurately enter the lifting cylinder 307. The lifting cylinder 307, the elevator guide groove 308 and the servo motor 309 work cooperatively. When the screw lifting rod at the output end of the servo motor 309 rotates in the lifting cylinder 307, it can use the screw structure to convey the ice cubes upward along the lifting cylinder 307. After passing through the elevator guide groove 308, the ice cubes are finally discharged from the outlet at the bottom of the elevator guide groove 308, and the outlet position is accurately set above the automatic packaging machine hopper 403, ensuring that the ice cubes can accurately enter the packaging mechanism 4, realizing smooth and efficient conveying of the ice cubes from the ice making to the packaging link.

[0038] 2. Packaging mechanism 4

[0039] Mounting and supporting structure: the first support 401 is fixed on the top of the bottom plate 2, providing reliable support for the automatic packaging machine body 402, ensuring that the automatic packaging machine body 402 will not affect the packaging accuracy and stability due to its own vibration, shaking and other factors during operation. After the automatic packaging machine body 402 is installed on the first support 401, the automatic packaging machine hopper 403 at the top of the automatic packaging machine body 402 is at a suitable height position, which is convenient for receiving ice blocks delivered from the ice making mechanism 3.

[0040] Packaging operation related design: the automatic packaging machine body 402 has a complex internal mechanical structure and control system, which can realize the packaging operation of ice blocks. When the ice blocks enter from the automatic packaging machine hopper 403, the automatic packaging machine body 402 will accurately pack the ice blocks into the packaging bag 407 according to the preset program. The existence of the ice taking port 404 and the ice taking groove 405 facilitates manual intervention in the event of abnormal conditions during packaging. When ice block jamming, packaging failure and other situations occur, the operator can conveniently take out the ice blocks through the ice taking port 404 and the ice taking groove 405 for inspection, adjustment or re-packaging, etc., reducing the impact of equipment failure on overall production efficiency.

[0041] Packaging bag related design: the second support 406 is fixed on one side of the automatic packaging machine body 402, which plays a good supporting and fixing role for the packaging bag 407, ensuring the stability of the packaging bag 407 during packaging, which is beneficial to the accurate packing of ice blocks. At the same time, the groove with a width greater than the width of the packaging bag 407 opened on the side of the automatic packaging machine body 402 close to the packaging bag 407, the bearing ring at the connection between the second support 406 and the packaging bag 407, and the belt transmission design between the packaging bag 407 and the internal winding roller of the automatic packaging machine body 402 make the packaging bag 407 can be smoothly driven by the winding roller after packaging is completed, and the packaged ice blocks are sent out, which is convenient for subsequent selling and other operations, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the packaging link.

[0042] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0043] 1. Ice making link

[0044] Water supply and disinfection: the water supply assembly 303 introduces water source through the water pipe joint of external pure water. The water entering the ice maker shell 301 is first disinfected by the ultraviolet disinfection device, which can ensure the health and safety of the water used for ice making, and kill harmful microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses that may exist in the water.

[0045] Ice making process: The compressor in the ice making assembly 302 starts working, which compresses the refrigerant and raises its pressure and temperature. Then, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant enters the condenser, where it exchanges heat with the outside world, and the refrigerant releases heat and becomes liquid again. This process absorbs a large amount of heat from the surrounding environment, causing the ice bank temperature in the ice maker shell 301 to drop to -10°C. In this low-temperature environment, water will gradually freeze to form ice cubes.

[0046] Ice cube storage and delivery preparation: The finished ice cubes enter the ice storage tank 305 through the ice outlet 304 for temporary storage. The existence of the ice storage tank 305 can buffer the output of ice cubes to avoid ice cubes from piling up and blocking the subsequent delivery channel. When it is necessary to deliver ice cubes to the packaging mechanism 4, the ice cubes enter the lifting cylinder 307 from the ice cube guide groove 306 at the bottom of the ice storage tank 305.

[0047] 2. Ice cube lifting segment

[0048] Lifting power supply: The servo motor 309 at the top of the elevator guide groove 308 starts, and the output end of the spiral lifting rod fixed to it rotates inside the lifting cylinder 307. Due to the spiral structure of the spiral lifting rod, when it rotates, it can push the ice cubes upwards along the lifting cylinder 307. The ice cubes are pushed by the spiral lifting rod through the lifting cylinder 307 and the elevator guide groove 308, and finally discharged from the outlet at the bottom of the elevator guide groove 308.

[0049] 3. Packaging segment

[0050] Ice cube receiving and packaging preparation: After the ice cubes lifted from the ice making mechanism 3 are discharged through the outlet at the bottom of the elevator guide groove 308, they accurately fall into the automatic packaging machine hopper 403. The automatic packaging machine hopper 403 gathers and guides the ice cubes into the packaging area inside the automatic packaging machine body 402.

[0051] Packaging operation execution: The mechanical structure and control system inside the automatic packaging machine body 402 start working to load the ice cubes into the packaging bag 407. In this process, the second support 406 supports and fixes the packaging bag 407 to ensure its stable position. At the same time, the packaging bag 407 cooperates with the winding roller inside the automatic packaging machine body 402 through belt transmission, and after the packaging is completed, the winding roller drives the packaging bag 407 to deliver the packaged ice cubes. If an abnormality occurs during packaging, such as ice cube blockage or packaging failure, the operator can manually remove the ice cubes through the ice outlet 404 and ice slot 405 for inspection and treatment.

[0052] 4. Selling segment

[0053] User interaction and instruction receiving: Before the ice dispenser, the user checks the information of the ice block, such as the specification and price, through the display screen 502 of the vending mechanism 5, and then selects the number of ice blocks to be purchased and the payment method by using the input key 503. The vending machine body 501 receives and processes these user instructions.

[0054] Commodity delivery and transaction completion: After the user completes the payment, the vending machine body 501 controls the delivery of the packaged ice blocks, completing the entire vending process. If the device detects that the number of ice blocks is insufficient, the ice making mechanism 3 will automatically start the ice making process to ensure that there are enough ice blocks available for vending.

[0055] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, which do not limit the protection scope of the present application, so: any equivalent changes made in the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
