[0030] In order to better understand the present application, various aspects of the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. It should be understood that these detailed descriptions are merely descriptive of exemplary embodiments of the present application and are not intended in any way to limit the scope of the present application. Throughout the specification, the same reference numbers refer to the same elements.

[0031] In the drawings, the thicknesses of objects, dimensions, and shapes have been exaggerated slightly for ease of explanation. The drawings are not drawn strictly to scale.

[0032] It should also be understood that the words "comprise", "comprising", "include", "including", "contain", "containing", when used in this specification, indicate the presence of the stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof.

[0033] As shown in Figures 1 to 9 , a direct-impact ice evaporator is disclosed, which can be used in an ice maker, the ice evaporator comprising a roller 1 and a refrigerant pipe 2, the refrigerant pipe 2 being used for flowing refrigerant, the refrigerant pipe 2 extending from one end of the roller 1 to the other end, the refrigerant pipe 2 being made of a whole continuous flow pipe, for example, being formed by one pipe or being sequentially spliced by multiple pipes, the one pipe being for example a whole stainless steel seamless pipe, and the multiple pipes being for example multiple stainless steel seamless pipes which are sequentially spliced by welding in the axial direction, when the multiple stainless steel seamless pipes are sequentially spliced by welding, the transverse space between the adjacent stainless steel seamless pipes can be used to set a blocking piece 32, for example, the blocking piece 32 can be used to bridge the adjacent stainless steel seamless pipes, so that the adjacent stainless steel seamless pipes are connected together by the blocking piece 32, and then a partition 12 is naturally formed. Of course, from the aspect of manufacturing convenience, it is preferred that the whole stainless steel seamless pipe is used as the refrigerant pipe 2.

[0034] In some embodiments, in order to block the whole stainless steel seamless pipe to form the partition 12, the following structure can be used, as shown in Figure 2 , a transverse opening 27 is formed on the whole continuous flow pipe, and the blocking piece 32 is arranged in the transverse opening 27 to form the partition 12.

[0035] As shown in Figure 2 , 4 , the refrigerant pipe 2 sequentially comprises a first section 3, an inner side part 4, and a second section 5 from one end of the roller 1 to the other end, the first section 3 is rotatably sleeved with the end of the one end of the roller 1 through a sleeving hole 26, and the sleeving hole 26 can be referred to Figure 9The end of one end of the roller 1 is sleeved with the first supporting part 6 on the outer periphery of the first section 3, and the end of the other end of the roller 1 is sleeved with the second supporting part 7 on the outer periphery of the second section 5, the first supporting part 6 and the second supporting part 7 are used for supporting the roller 1 to rotate together, at the same time, the first sealing ring 8 and the first axial limiting part 28 are arranged in the annular space between the first supporting part 6 and the first section 3, the first axial limiting part 28 is used for limiting the axial movement of the first sealing ring 8, the second sealing ring 9 and the second axial limiting part 29 are arranged in the annular space between the second supporting part 7 and the second section 5, the second axial limiting part 29 is used for limiting the axial movement of the second sealing ring 9, when the first supporting part 6, the second supporting part 7 and the roller 1 rotate together, the assembly composed of the first supporting part 6, the second supporting part 7 and the roller 1 rotates relative to the refrigerant pipe 2, and the refrigerant pipe 2 does not rotate, so that the refrigerant oil is not easy to leak.

[0036] Therefore, when the present disclosure is produced and manufactured, the assembly process can refer to the following, the refrigerant pipe 2 sequentially passes through the assembly composed of the first supporting part 6, the second supporting part 7 and the roller 1, and then the first sealing ring 8 and the first axial limiting part 28 and the second sealing ring 9 and the second axial limiting part 29 are sleeved on both ends respectively, and then the first end cover 13 and the second end cover 14 are connected, which is convenient and efficient. Since the refrigerant pipe 2 is made of a whole continuous flow pipe, the axial structure is stable, and also has good strength and support.

[0037] In some embodiments, in order to be more convenient for axial limiting and installation, as shown in Figure 2 the first section 3 is provided with the first limiting step 10, and the second section 5 is provided with the second limiting step 11, after the first end cover 13 is connected with the outer side end of the first supporting part 6, the first limiting step 10 constitutes the first axial limiting, after the second end cover 14 is connected with the outer side end of the second supporting part 7, the second limiting step 11 constitutes the second axial limiting, and the refrigerant pipe 2 is axially limited between the first end cover 13 and the second end cover 14 under the action of the first axial limiting and the first axial limiting. In order to be convenient for connection, the first end cover 13 is threadedly connected with the outer side end of the first supporting part 6, and the second end cover 14 is threadedly connected with the outer side end of the second supporting part 7.

[0038] Further, as shown in Figure 4 the first limiting step 10 and the first end cover 13 are provided with the first gasket 15, and the second limiting step 11 and the second end cover 14 are provided with the second gasket 16. In this way, contact occurs through the gasket, and the first limiting step 10 and the second limiting step 11 are avoided from being abraded.

[0039] The first gasket 15 and the second gasket 16 are preferably oil-containing gaskets, thereby being beneficial to reducing friction.

[0040] As shown in Figure 9 , the first axial position limiting member 28 and the second axial position limiting member 29 are preferably in the form of a sleeve, and the first axial position limiting member 28 can be tightly fitted on the first section 3 in the form of a sleeve, or further fitted and then welded, so as to be firmly combined on the first section 3. Of course, the first axial position limiting member 28 can also be loosely fitted on the first section 3 instead of being tightly connected, and the axial position is limited by the first gasket 15 described below. The first axial position limiting member 28 and the second axial position limiting member 29 can also not be in the form of a sleeve, but can also be other structures, as long as they can be applied in this disclosure and achieve the purpose of axial position limiting.

[0041] In addition to the idea of manufacturing separate parts, it can also be integrally provided, for example, the first axial position limiting member 28 is machined or cast on the first section 3. Similarly, the second section 5 can also be similarly provided.

[0042] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 , the number of first sealing rings 8 is one or more, the first sealing ring 8 is fitted on the first section 3 and is arranged close to the side of the roller 1, the first axial position limiting member 28 is arranged on the first section 3 and is arranged away from the side of the roller 1, and the first sealing ring 8 is axially limited between the first axial position limiting member 28 and the roller 1; the number of second sealing rings 9 is one or more, the second sealing ring 9 is arranged on the second section 5 and is arranged close to the side of the roller 1, the second axial position limiting member 29 is fitted on the second section 5 and is arranged away from the side of the roller 1, and the second sealing ring 9 is axially limited between the second axial position limiting member 29 and the roller 1. In this way, better sealing performance is achieved, preventing refrigerant from entering the position where the first axial position limiting member 28 and the second axial position limiting member 29 are located, and at the same time, the part of the first support portion 6 and the second support portion 7 away from the side of the roller 1 is not easily at a lower temperature.

[0043] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 , 9 , a first containing interval 30 is formed between the first axial position limiting member 28 and the roller 1, and the first sealing ring 8 is limited in the first containing interval 30, so that the first sealing ring 8 is arranged in a non-axially compressed state; a second containing interval 31 is formed between the second axial position limiting member 29 and the roller 1, and the second sealing ring 9 is limited in the second containing interval 31, so that the second sealing ring 9 is arranged in a non-axially compressed state. In this way, the sealing ring is not in a compressed or dead state, so that the sealing ring is self-adapting according to the rotation condition, thereby achieving better sealing effect and sealing life.

[0044] In this disclosure, as shown in Figure 2 , 4As shown, the inner portion 4 is provided with a partition 12, and under the partition of the partition 12, the inner portion 4 is sequentially divided into a first portion 4.1 and a second portion 4.2 which are not directly communicated with each other in the axial direction. The first portion 4.1 is communicated with the first section 3 to form an inflow channel 22, and the second portion 4.2 is communicated with the second section 5 to form an outflow channel 23. The first portion 4.1 is provided with an outlet 24, and the second portion 4.2 is provided with a discharge outlet 25. The non-direct communication means that, under the partition of the partition 12, the refrigerant is directly sprayed into the drum 1 through the inflow channel 22 and the outlet 24, and after the refrigerant absorbs heat and vaporizes, the refrigerant enters the outflow channel 23 through the discharge outlet 25 to be discharged from the drum 1. Figure 4 The arrows shown represent the approximate direction of the flow of the refrigerant.

[0045] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 , 4 The outlet 24 is provided as a plurality of through holes arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the first portion 4.1. These through holes are arranged on the pipe wall of the first portion 4.1. In this way, the refrigerant is more evenly distributed in the drum 1 to improve the refrigeration efficiency. In addition, there is no need to additionally provide the capillary structure such as the capillary tube mentioned in the prior art.

[0046] The discharge outlet 25 is provided as a through hole on the pipe wall of the second portion 4.2, and the discharge outlet 25 is arranged close to the end of the other end of the drum 1. In this way, the refrigerant is more evenly distributed in the drum 1 to further improve the refrigeration efficiency.

[0047] The number and flow aperture size of the outlet 24 and the number and flow aperture size of the discharge outlet 25 can be set according to the flow demand of the refrigerant. At present, the number of the outlet 24 is set to 5, and the number of the discharge outlet 25 is set to 1.

[0048] Of course, the specific structure and number of the outlet 24 and the specific structure and number of the discharge outlet 25 can also be other structures, which cannot be listed one by one.

[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The drum 1 can be obtained by a seamless stainless steel pipe with open ends. Then the first support portion 6 and the second support portion 7 are respectively welded on the two ends of the pipe body to cover the two open ends. In this way, the first support portion 6, the second support portion 7 and the drum 1 form an assembly. The first support portion 6 and the second support portion 7 can support the drum 1 to rotate together. In addition, the production and manufacturing are simple, which is conducive to improving the production efficiency.

[0050] The length of the drum 1 can be different to form ice-making surfaces of different lengths. As shown in Figure 1 The length of the drum 1 is relatively short, and as shown in Figure 5 , 6 , 8, 9, the length of the drum 1 is relatively long.

[0051] This disclosure also provides an ice maker, including a compressor, a scraper 17, and the aforementioned shaved ice evaporator, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the scraper 17 is located circumferentially in the evaporator of the shaved ice, and the compressor supplies refrigerant to the refrigerant pipe 2 of the evaporator of the shaved ice.

[0052] The refrigerant is circulated by the compressor, and the refrigeration unit sprayed from the inner part 4 quickly cools the drum 1. After the outer circumference of the drum 1 is cooled, it comes into contact with the liquid and forms an ice layer. As the ice layer thickens, the scraper 17 will come into contact with the ice layer. As the drum 1 rotates, the scraper 17 cuts the ice layer to obtain shaved ice.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, it also includes an ice-making support 19. A direct-injection shaved ice evaporator is installed on the ice-making support 19. A first bearing 20 is provided between the first support part 6 of the direct-injection shaved ice evaporator and the ice-making support 19, and a second bearing 21 is provided between the second support part 7 of the direct-injection shaved ice evaporator and the ice-making support 19. The direct-injection shaved ice evaporator rotates relative to the ice-making support 19 through the first bearing 20 and the second bearing 21. In this way, the first bearing 20 and the second bearing 21 make the assembly consisting of the first support part 6, the second support part 7, and the roller 1 rotate more stably.

[0054] like Figure 6 As shown, in order to drive the roller 1 to rotate, in this example, the second support part 7 is provided with a transmission gear 18. The transmission gear 18 can be driven by an electric motor and then by a gear transmission structure, thereby further driving the second support part 7, so that the assembly consisting of the first support part 6, the second support part 7, and the roller 1 rotates together.

[0055] When understanding this utility model, the above structure may be referred to other embodiments / appendices if necessary. Figure 1 And that is understood, so I will not elaborate further here.

[0056] The above description is merely an illustrative embodiment of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features, and principles described in the scope of protection of this utility model are included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
