Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of snowmaking technology, and more specifically, relates to a snowmaking machine. Background Technology

[0002] Ice slurry is a solid-liquid two-phase solution containing ice crystal particles, namely a mixture of binary ice—ice crystal particles and water. It has good fluidity and a large latent heat of phase change, making it an excellent medium for cold storage or cooling. It is suitable for large-scale cold storage and transportation, and can therefore be applied to industries such as ice storage air conditioning, mine cooling, and food preservation and refrigeration. After solid-liquid separation, the diameter of the micro-ice crystals is 0.5-1mm, the average particle size is 0.8mm, and the bulk density is 500-600kg / m3. It is also suitable for all kinds of snow sports and has a wide range of applications.

[0003] Existing ice and snow separation equipment separates water and ice crystals from the ice slurry. The water is recycled through pipes, while the ice crystals are discharged directly from the bottom of the equipment, making it impossible to create a snow scene. If a snow scene is to be created forcibly, it will increase costs. Utility Model Content

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a snowmaking machine is provided, including a base 1. A power unit 2 and a filtering centrifugal device 3 driven by the power unit 2 are installed on the base 1. The filtering centrifugal device 3 is equipped with a main shaft 31 and a rotating drum 32. One end of the main shaft 31 is connected to the rotating drum 32 for rotating and separating ice slurry. The top of the filtering centrifugal device 3 is provided with a feed inlet 33, and the bottom of the filtering centrifugal device 3 is provided with a fluid outlet. Both the feed inlet 33 and the fluid outlet are connected to the rotating drum 32. The filtering centrifugal device 3 is provided with a snow outlet channel, and the outside of the filtering centrifugal device 3 is provided with a snow spray nozzle connected to the snow outlet channel. A fan is provided at the end of the snow outlet channel away from the snow spray nozzle for blowing the separated snow into the air.

[0027] In this embodiment, the power unit 2 is started, which drives the filter centrifuge 3 to rotate, splitting the ice slurry that enters the drum 32 from the feed inlet 33 into two parts, namely water and ice crystals. The water flows out from the fluid outlet through the pipe and is recycled. The pipe is set inside the filter centrifuge 3. The ice crystals are blown out of the snow spray nozzle by the fan in the snow outlet channel and blown into the air by the wind, forming a snowfall scene, which reduces the labor cost of manual snowfall operation.

[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, a differential 34 is also provided in the filter centrifuge device 3. The differential 34 is sleeved on the main shaft 31. The main shaft 31 is connected to the drum 32 through the differential 34. The differential 34 mainly plays the role of protecting the transmission system.

[0029] Furthermore, a mounting base 311 is provided at one end of the main shaft 31, and a connecting cylinder 35 is rotatably installed inside the drum 32. The outer circumference of the connecting cylinder 35 is provided with spiral blades. The connecting cylinder 35 is connected to the mounting base 311 by connecting bolts. The spiral blades are located between the connecting cylinder 35 and the drum 32. By rotating, the ice slurry is divided into two parts, becoming water and ice crystals. When the drum 32 stops rotating, the water flows out from the fluid outlet through the pipe and is recycled, while the ice crystals enter the snow outlet channel and are blown out of the snow spray nozzle by the fan in the snow outlet channel and blown into the air, creating a snowfall scene.

[0030] Furthermore, the bottom of the connecting cylinder 35 is provided with a large hole 351 and several mounting holes 352 evenly distributed around the outer periphery of the large hole 351. The connecting bolt passes through the mounting holes 352 and connects to the mounting base 311. At the same time, the connecting cylinder 35 and the drum 32 are both rotatably connected and detachably connected, which facilitates subsequent disassembly for maintenance and cleaning.

[0031] Preferably, the outer diameter of the connecting cylinder 35 is not less than 60cm, so that the overall size of the whole equipment is not too large and it is easy to move.

[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, a housing 36 is provided around the outer periphery of the filter centrifuge device 3 to protect the internal structure of the filter centrifuge device 3 and prevent dust from entering.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, the power device 2 includes a motor and a reducer. The motor is connected to the reducer, and the reducer is provided with a drive shaft. One end of the drive shaft is connected to a drive wheel 21. The motor is connected to the filter centrifuge device 3 through the drive wheel 21. The motor drives the reducer to rotate, the reducer drives the drive shaft, and the drive shaft drives the drive wheel 21. A belt is provided on the drive wheel 21. The main shaft 31 of the filter centrifuge device 3 is connected to a pulley. The drive wheel 21 is connected to the pulley through the belt, so that the drive wheel 21 drives the pulley to rotate, thereby causing the main shaft 31 to rotate.

[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the base 1 is provided with several rollers for easy transfer, which facilitates the movement of the equipment.
