Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a refrigeration equipment, concretely is a high -efficient energy -conserving snow melting machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] The snow melting machine is also called a slush machine, which is a cold drink electric appliance for freezing liquid sugar-containing drinks such as cola, wine, coffee, soda, juice, chocolate and milk into cool and refreshing slush drinks. The refrigeration assembly of the snow melting machine includes a compressor, a condenser and an evaporator. The compressor and the condenser are standard components, which only need to be matched according to the refrigeration efficiency requirements. The direct influencing factor of the refrigeration effect is the design of the evaporator, which determines the refrigeration heat exchange area and the size of the cold quantity conduction loss, thereby directly affecting the refrigeration efficiency of the entire refrigeration assembly. Currently, whether for commercial or household use, the evaporator of the snow melting machine is immersed in the beverage solution, and the refrigeration heat exchange is performed between the outer wall of the evaporator and the beverage solution in the solution cylinder. However, the disadvantages of this refrigeration method are obvious, which are as follows:

[0003] The small heat exchange area of the traditional evaporator leads to low refrigeration efficiency: the traditional evaporator relies on the single-side refrigeration heat exchange of the cylindrical outer wall, which limits the contact and conduction area between the evaporator outer wall and the beverage solution. The small refrigeration heat exchange area directly limits the refrigeration efficiency of the refrigeration assembly.

[0004] The cold quantity conduction loss of the traditional evaporator is very large: the refrigerant enters the copper tube winding from the inlet pipe, changes from liquid to gas in the heat exchange process, and releases cold quantity to the outside of the copper tube winding. Then, the copper tube winding transfers the cold quantity to the stainless steel tube wall of the evaporator. Finally, the stainless steel tube wall transfers the cold quantity to the beverage solution. Therefore, the refrigeration heat exchange and transfer of the refrigerant to the beverage solution need to pass through two different media. The more the media levels, the greater the cold quantity loss. Moreover, only part of the copper tube is in contact with the stainless steel tube wall. In addition, the copper tube winding and the stainless steel tube wall of the evaporator cannot perfectly fit due to the hard-to-hard contact, which causes the small contact and conduction area and greatly reduces the cold quantity conduction effect. The actual cold quantity transferred to the beverage solution is less than 30%.

[0005] The working mode of the traditional snow melting machine is to completely immerse the evaporator in the beverage solution. In addition, the evaporator is in a cylindrical shape for single-side refrigeration, which causes the waste of cold quantity in the middle of the evaporator. Moreover, the cold quantity conduction media has too many levels and the contact and conduction area is too small, which results in a large cold quantity transfer loss. Therefore, the traditional snow melting machine often needs to consume 45 minutes or even more than one hour to produce 2 liters of slush cold drinks. This slush cold drink production technology, which has been used for more than ten years, is time-consuming and power-consuming, and cannot meet the various sudden and spontaneous cold drink demands.

[0006] With the improvement of living standards, more and more consumers hope to enjoy the fun of making smoothie cold drinks at home. However, this traditional machine for making smoothie cold drinks is time-consuming and power-consuming, so how to design a high-efficiency snow melting machine has become a technical problem to be solved.

The beverage solution enters the ice making outer cavity 801 and the ice making inner cavity D3, respectively. Figure 2The cold energy generated by the evaporation of the refrigerant medium in the refrigerant evaporation cavity D1 is directly transmitted to the outer refrigeration surface 901 and the inner refrigeration surface 1001 through the corresponding inner and outer sleeves, so that the beverage solution on the outer refrigeration surface 901 and the inner refrigeration surface 1001 is frozen into ice crystals; the snow melting machine further comprises an outer screw 18 for scraping the ice crystals on the outer refrigeration surface 901 and pushing them forward, an inner screw 17 for scraping the ice crystals on the inner refrigeration surface 1001 and pushing them backward, and a power device 1 for driving the outer screw 18 and the inner screw 17 to rotate; the outer screw 18 is rotatably arranged in the ice-making outer cavity 801, and the inner screw 17 is rotatably arranged in the ice-making inner cavity D3; the outer screw 18 and the inner screw 17 cooperate with each other to make the beverage solution circulate into the ice-making inner cavity D3 and the ice-making outer cavity 801 to repeat ice making.
