Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of birch sap production ice crushing and melting equipment, specifically relating to a continuous ice crushing and melting equipment that combines electric heating and steam heating. Background Technology

[0002] Birch sap is a colorless, transparent or slightly yellowish sap that flows from the trunk of birch trees. When extracting birch sap in the cold season, it is necessary to melt the ice clinging to the surface of the birch tree. This is usually done using ice-melting equipment. The existing ice-melting equipment is designed for melting the ice clinging to the birch tree during sap extraction. This equipment is convenient for continuous ice-melting processing using both electric heating and steam heating.

[0003] Existing ice-melting equipment requires breaking and melting ice blocks adhering to the birch trees during extremely cold weather before extracting birch sap. With frequent use, steam enters the steam inlet plate and is then evenly discharged through a mesh plate. Since the mesh plate is directly close to the birch tree surface, dirt can easily enter and adhere to it during ice-melting, even penetrating the mesh plate and entering the steam inlet plate itself. Furthermore, the mesh plate is fixed with multiple screws, making disassembly and assembly inconvenient and cumbersome, thus compromising the ease of cleaning the mesh plate during ice-melting on birch trees. Therefore, this invention proposes a continuous ice-melting device that combines electric heating and steam heating. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a continuous ice-breaking and melting device that combines electric heating and steam heating, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art where the ice-breaking and melting device is used to break and melt ice attached to birch trees. In such cases, the mesh plate is directly close to the surface of the birch tree, which can easily cause dirt to enter and adhere to the inside of the mesh plate during the ice-breaking and melting process. It can even penetrate the mesh plate and enter the interior of the steam inlet plate. Furthermore, the mesh plate is fixed and installed with multiple screws, making disassembly and assembly inconvenient and causing cumbersome cleaning operations for the mesh plate and the interior of the steam inlet plate.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a continuous ice-crushing and melting device with both electric heating and steam heating, comprising a main body, the main body including a movable frame, a power supply and a heating chamber fixedly installed on one side of the inner upper surface of the movable frame, an electric heater installed inside the heating chamber, the electric heater being electrically connected to the power supply via a wire, a vertical plate provided on one side of the heating chamber, a steam inlet plate mounted on the surface of the vertical plate via a rotating shaft, a mesh plate provided on the inner surface of the steam inlet plate, and a telescopic corrugated pipe provided at the connection between the upper surface of the steam inlet plate and the heating chamber; the main body of the ice-crushing and melting device also includes:

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a continuous ice crushing and melting device with electric heating and steam heating, including an ice crushing and melting device body 100. The ice crushing and melting device body 100 includes a movable frame 101. A power supply 104 and a heating box 102 are fixedly installed on one side of the inner upper surface of the movable frame 101. An electric heater 103 is installed inside the heating box 102. The electric heater 103 and the power supply 104 are electrically connected through wires. A vertical plate 105 is provided on one side of the heating box 102. A steam inlet plate 107 is installed on the surface of the vertical plate 105 through a rotating shaft. A mesh plate 106 is provided on the inner surface of the steam inlet plate 107. A telescopic corrugated pipe 108 is provided at the connection between the upper surface of the steam inlet plate 107 and the heating box 102.

[0024] A limiting groove 109 is formed inside the upright plate 105. A limiting plate 1091 is limited inside the limiting groove 109. A breaker hammer 1095 is integrally provided on the surface of the limiting plate 1091. The breaker hammer 1095 extends to the inner surface of the upright plate 105. Return springs 1092 are provided at the connection points between the two ends of the inner surface of the limiting plate 1091 and the bottom end of the inner surface of the limiting groove 109. A drive motor 1093 is installed on the surface of the upright plate 105. A cam 1094 is fixed inside the limiting groove 109 at the end of the drive motor 1093. When the drive motor 1093 is energized, it drives the cam 1094 to rotate. When the cam 1094 rotates, it contacts the surface of the limiting plate 1091, causing the limiting plate 1091 and the breaker hammer 1095 to reciprocate for ice crushing. The main body 100 of the ice crushing and melting equipment is also provided with:

[0025] The system includes a convenient disassembly and cleaning mechanism, which includes a support and placement component located at the edge of the inner surface of the steam inlet plate 107. Locking components are provided on both sides of the mesh plate 106 inside the steam inlet plate 107. When dust accumulates inside the mesh plate 106 and the steam inlet plate 107 after prolonged use of the ice crushing and melting equipment body 100, the convenient disassembly and cleaning mechanism can be used to disassemble and clean the mesh plate 106, making disassembly and cleaning convenient.

[0026] In order to facilitate the placement and fixed installation of the mesh plate 106 by means of the support and placement assembly, in this embodiment, preferably, the support and placement assembly includes an integrally disposed support and placement side plate 1065 at the edge of the inner surface of the steam inlet plate 107, and the mesh plate 106 is supported and closed on the inner surface of the steam inlet plate 107 by the support and placement side plate 1065, so that the mesh plate 106 can be supported, placed and fixed on the inner surface of the steam inlet plate 107 by means of the support and placement side plate 1065.

[0027] To facilitate the reinforcement of the mesh plate 106 after its closed installation using the locking assembly, in this embodiment, preferably, the locking assembly includes a screw-in adjustment groove 1061 formed on both sides of the inner surface of the steam inlet plate 107. Both sides of the steam inlet plate 107 are threaded with threaded rods 1062. The ends of the threaded rods 1062 are fixed inside the screw-in adjustment grooves 1061 with locking clips 1063, allowing for easy adjustment by holding the threaded rods 1062 and screwing the locking clips 1063 into the screw-in adjustment grooves 1061. Locking holes 1064 are formed on both sides of the mesh plate 106, and the ends of the locking clips 1063 engage with the inside of the locking holes 1064 until the locking clips 1063 are screwed in, pressed, and locked inside the locking holes 1064, thus facilitating disassembly and cleaning.

[0028] The lifting and adjusting mechanism includes a lifting and adjusting component at the connection between the middle position inside the upright plate 105 and the movable frame 101. Control connection components are provided on both sides of the upright plate 105. When the ice crushing and melting equipment body 100 is in use, the lifting and adjusting mechanism can adjust the upright plate 105 and the steam inlet plate 107 to the height as needed, so as to facilitate the adjustment of ice crushing and melting processing.

[0029] In order to facilitate the adjustment of the upright plate 105 and the steam inlet plate 107 to the desired height via the lifting adjustment assembly, in this embodiment, preferably, the lifting adjustment assembly includes a forward and reverse motor 1052 fixed at the middle position of the lower surface of the movable frame 101. The end of the forward and reverse motor 1052 is mounted with a lead screw 1056 on the surface of the movable frame 101. A movable seat 1057 is provided at the bottom of the interior of the upright plate 105, and the internal structure of the lead screw 1056 matches that of the movable seat 1057. When the forward and reverse motor 1052 rotates, it drives the lead screw 1056 to rotate. When the lead screw 1056 rotates, the movable seat 1057 moves on the outer surface of the lead screw 1056, which moves the upright plate 105 and the steam inlet plate 107 to the height of the ice melting point.

[0030] To facilitate stable height adjustment of the upright plate 105 via the control connection assembly, in this embodiment, preferably, the control connection assembly includes control slide grooves 1053 formed on both sides of the upright plate 105. A control slider 1054 is disposed inside the control slide groove 1053. A control support plate 1051 is integrally disposed at the end of the control slider 1054 on the side of the upright plate 105. The bottom end of the control support plate 1051 is welded to the surface of the movable frame 101. This allows the control slider 1054 to slide within the control slide groove 1053 during height adjustment, facilitating stable support for height adjustment. A locking bolt 1055 is threaded onto the top of the control support plate 1051 and the inside of the control slider 1054. The end of the locking bolt 1055 presses against the inner surface of the control slide groove 1053. After height adjustment, the locking bolt 1055 is rotated to press against the inner surface of the control slide groove 1053 for reinforcement, facilitating stable ice melting and de-icing processes.

[0031] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: Before use, an appropriate amount of water is injected into the heating chamber 102, which is then pushed to one side of the birch tree by the moving frame 101. The top of the upright plate 105 is then closed on the surface of the birch tree. The steam inlet plate 107 is then rotated and closed on the other side and fixed to the upright plate 105. After installation, the electric heater 103 is energized to heat the water inside the heating chamber 102. After the water inside the heating chamber 102 is heated to form steam, it enters the steam inlet plate 107 through the telescopic corrugated pipe 108 and is then continuously discharged to the surface of the birch tree through the mesh plate 106 for ice melting.

[0032] Furthermore, when there is melted ice after heating, the drive motor 1093 is energized again to drive the cam 1094 to rotate. When the cam 1094 rotates, it contacts the surface of the limiting plate 1091, causing the limiting plate 1091 and the breaker hammer 1095 to move until the breaker hammer 1095 quickly protrudes and hammers onto the surface of the birch tree to break the ice. When the cam 1094 rotates to the other side, the return spring 1092 deforms to reset the limiting plate 1091 and the breaker hammer 1095, making it easier to reciprocate the breaker hammer 1095 to break the ice.

[0033] Before using the main body 100 of the ice-crushing and melting equipment, the screen plate 106 can be closed on the surface of the supporting side plate 1065. The threaded rod 1062 is rotated to drive the locking head 1063 to screw into the inside of the screw-in adjustment groove 1061 until the locking head 1063 is squeezed and locked into the inside of the locking hole 1064 to reinforce the installation of the screen plate 106. This makes it easy to fix and install the screen plate 106. When steam is discharged for a long time during ice melting, dirt enters the surface of the screen plate 106 and the inside of the steam entry plate 107. The screen plate 106 can be disassembled and cleaned by reversing the operation. At the same time, it is easy to clean the inside of the steam entry plate 107. The cleaning process is convenient, which improves the convenience of disassembling and cleaning the screen plate 106 when the main body 100 of the ice-crushing and melting equipment is used for ice melting on the surface of birch trees.

[0034] Finally, when the main body 100 of the ice-melting equipment is processing ice on birch trees, and depending on the required ice-melting height, the forward and reverse motor 1052 can be turned to drive the lead screw 1056 to rotate. When the lead screw 1056 rotates, the moving seat 1057 moves on the outer surface of the lead screw 1056, causing the vertical plate 105 and the steam inlet plate 107 to move. When the vertical plate 105 moves, the sliding control slider 1054 slides inside the control groove 1053 to control the stable movement and adjustment of the vertical plate 105. The locking bolt 1055 is then rotated again to lock and reinforce it, so that the vertical plate 105 and the steam inlet plate 107 are adjusted to the ice-melting height, which facilitates adjustment and improves the convenience of height adjustment when the main body 100 of the ice-melting equipment is processing ice on the surface of birch trees.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described (see the detailed description above), it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
