When the intermediate transmission seat 6 descends, it drives the shaved ice turntable 7 to descend as well, thereby allowing the shaved ice turntable 7 to perform rotating and pressing grinding on the ice cubes in the shaved ice cup.

[0029] Compared with existing technologies, the transmission structure is more reasonable and efficient. The upper base 2 will not vibrate or shift during the operation of the ice shaver. It can reduce the overall height of the ice shaver and lower its center of gravity, thereby preventing the ice shaver from tipping over during operation. Moreover, the drive motor 3, lead screw 4, and lifting block are all hidden on the upper base 2, which will not contaminate the ice shaver. This ensures food hygiene and reduces transmission failure caused by foreign objects in the drive motor 3, lead screw 4, and lifting block, as well as difficulties in cleaning and maintenance. It is highly practical.

[0030] An assembly bracket 8 is fixedly installed on the upper base 2. The drive motor 3 is fixedly installed on the upper base 2 or the assembly bracket 8. The assembly bracket 8 is provided with an adapter hole 8.1. The upper end of the lead screw 4 is driven and connected to the drive motor 3. The threaded part in the middle of the lead screw 4 engages with the lifting block for transmission.

[0031] In this embodiment, the drive motor 3 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 8. The power output end of the drive motor 3 is driven and connected to a reduction gear set. The lead screw 4 is located on one side of the drive motor 3 and is driven and connected to the drive motor 3 through the reduction gear set.

[0032] To make the rotation of the lead screw 4 more stable, a bearing 9 is provided on the adapter hole 8.1. The lower end of the lead screw 4 passes through and rotates on the bearing 9, thereby improving the rotational stability of the lead screw 4 and avoiding wobbling or swinging during rotation.

[0033] The mounting bracket 8 is provided with a bracket guide hole 8.2. The transmission rod 5 is provided with at least one, and its upper end is fixed on the lifting block. The lower end of the transmission rod 5 extends and retracts on the bracket guide hole 8.2, and abuts against the intermediate transmission seat 6 when it descends.

[0034] In this embodiment, three transmission rods 5 are arranged in a ring array on the lifting block, and three corresponding guide holes 8.2 are arranged in a ring array on the mounting bracket 8. When descending, the three transmission rods 5 in the ring array simultaneously abut against the intermediate transmission seat 6 through the guide holes 8.2, so that the intermediate transmission seat 6 can descend smoothly.

[0035] There are two lifting blocks, namely an upper lifting block 10 and a lower lifting block 11. The upper lifting block 10 and the lower lifting block 11 are respectively provided with lifting threaded parts, and respectively engage with the threaded part of the lead screw 4 through the lifting threaded parts. The upper end of the transmission rod 5 is fixed on the lower lifting block 11. A lifting block elastic element 12 is also provided between the upper lifting block 10 and the lower lifting block 11.

[0036] The lower lifting block 11 is provided with a fixing hole, and the upper end of the transmission rod 5 is fixed to the fixing hole. The lifting block elastic element 12 is a compression spring. The upper lifting block 10 and the lower lifting block 11 are respectively provided with a sleeve part. The lifting block elastic element 12 is respectively positioned and sleeved on the sleeve part, and its two ends are elastically connected to the upper lifting block 10 and the lower lifting block 11 respectively. Utilizing the elastic force of the lifting block elastic element 12, when the upper lifting block 10 descends, the elastic force of the lifting block elastic element 12 acts on the lower lifting block 11, forming a pre-action force on the lower lifting block 11, and then gradually descending. This can effectively reduce the damage caused by the rigid connection between the upper lifting block 10 and the lower lifting block 11, and also avoid the problem of bending and breaking of the transmission rod 5 when descending.

[0037] A micro switch 13 is provided on the upper lifting block 10 or the lower lifting block 11. The upper lifting block 10 or the lower lifting block 11 separates from and contacts the micro switch 13 when lifting.

[0038] In this embodiment, the micro switch 13 is disposed on the lower lifting block 11. The upper lifting block 10 is in contact with the micro switch 13 when it descends, and the upper lifting block 10 is separated from the micro switch 13 when it rises, so as to monitor the movement position between the upper lifting block 10 and the lower lifting block 11.

[0039] The mounting bracket 8 is provided with a lifting guide part 8.3, and the upper lifting block 10 and the lower lifting block 11 are respectively provided with lifting guide mating parts 14, and are guided to lift and lower on the lifting guide part 8.3 through the lifting guide mating parts 14, thereby ensuring that the upper lifting block 10 and the lower lifting block 11 can perform stable lifting and lowering activities without shaking or swaying.

[0040] The shaved ice cup includes an upper cup body 15 and a lower cup body 16. The upper cup body 15 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 8 and has a cup body through hole.

The shaved ice turntable 7 is connected to the lower transmission part 6.3 through the transmission engagement part 7.1.

[0041] In this embodiment, when the ice shaver turntable 7 rotates and descends, it grinds the ice blocks in the upper cup body 15 and the lower cup body 16 through the ice shaver nails 7.2.

[0042] A transmission elastic element 17 is provided between the intermediate transmission seat 6 and the upper cup body 15. The transmission elastic element 17 is positioned and sleeved on the connecting column 6.2 and elastically engages with the intermediate transmission seat 6 and the upper cup body 15 respectively.

[0043] In this embodiment, the transmission elastic element 17 is a compression spring and is positioned and sleeved on the connecting column 6.2. The two ends of the transmission elastic element 17 elastically interact with the intermediate transmission seat 6 and the upper cup body 15, respectively. Utilizing the elastic force of the transmission elastic element 17, the intermediate transmission seat 6 always moves elastically away from the upper cup body 15. When the upper lifting block 10 and the lower lifting block 11 rise, the force exerted by the transmission rod 5 on the intermediate transmission seat 6 disappears, and the intermediate transmission seat 6 elastically resets and rises through the transmission elastic element 17. At this time, the shaved ice turntable 7 also resets.

[0044] Since the intermediate transmission seat 6 rotates and the transmission rod 5 presses down on the intermediate transmission seat 6, a wear-resistant part is also provided on the intermediate transmission seat 6 to reduce the wear of the two during rotation. The lower end of the transmission rod 5 is arc-shaped, and an arc-shaped groove is provided on the wear-resistant part. The transmission rod 5 cooperates with the arc-shaped groove on the wear-resistant part through the arc-shaped lower end, thereby reducing wear and improving the service life of the product.

The lower cup body 16 has an opening facing upwards and its outer wall is provided with a lower cup body screw 16.1. The lower cup body 16 is rotated and installed onto the upper cup body screw 15.1 through the lower cup body screw 16.1.

[0046] In this embodiment, the rotational engagement between the upper cup body screw 15.1 and the lower cup body screw 16.1 is utilized to enable the upper cup body 15 and the lower cup body 16 to be disassembled and assembled. This not only makes disassembly and assembly convenient, but also allows users to place ice cubes on the lower cup body 16.

[0047] In this embodiment, an electronic control board 20 is also provided on the upper base 2. The electronic control board 20 is electrically connected to the drive motor 3 and the micro switch 13 to control the operation of the drive motor 3 and detect the movement stroke of the lifting block 10.

A top bracket 21 is fixedly provided at the top opening of the upper base 2 to cover the ice shaving device. At the same time, a cover plate 22 is provided on the top bracket 21 to improve the overall appearance of the ice shaving machine. An ice receiving cavity is also provided between the upper base 2 and the base 1. An ice receiving container 23 can be placed on the ice receiving cavity. The lower cup body 16 is provided with an ice outlet corresponding to the ice receiving cavity. The ground snowflakes are discharged through the ice outlet and received by the ice receiving container 23.

[0048] The above describes the preferred embodiments of this utility model, illustrating and describing its basic principles, main features, and advantages. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
