AI Technical Summary
Ice-free slush machines are prone to ice formation on the mixing roller cooler, which can obstruct the rotation of the mixing blades, affect the slush making process, and may even damage the equipment. This requires manual intervention to prevent ice formation, which wastes human resources and shortens the equipment's lifespan.
An anti-condensation layer is applied to the outer surface of the mixing roller cooler to prevent ice from forming on the cooler during the shaved ice production process. The anti-condensation layer can be a glass layer, a ceramic layer, a ceramic-glass layer, a nano-ceramic layer, or a Teflon layer to ensure stable operation of the mixing roller.
It effectively prevents ice from forming in the slush machine during the slush making process, saves manpower, avoids overloaded environments, and extends the service life of the equipment.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smoothie machine technology, specifically a smoothie machine with a stable and non-stagnant stirring roller. Background Technology
[0002] Blenders can be divided into two categories: traditional blenders and ice-free blenders. Traditional blenders rely on three steps: "ice making - ice crushing - flavoring". They make blenders by physically breaking ice and stirring. Ice-free blenders skip the ice making step and directly generate blenders from the raw materials, preserving the original flavor of the ingredients.
[0003] The biggest drawback of ice-free slush machines during the slush-making process is the icing phenomenon that occurs on the cooler of the mixing rollers. Once ice forms, it creates a stubborn obstacle to the rotation of the mixing blades, creating a vicious cycle. When the mixing blades stop rotating, the icing speed accelerates, eventually forcing the slush machine to stop operating. This not only affects the slush-making process but can also damage the equipment due to overload braking in severe cases. Therefore, existing slush machines require constant monitoring during use to intervene in the early stages of icing and use tools to break up the icing in time, ensuring the normal operation of the slush machine. However, this inevitably wastes a lot of human resources and causes unnecessary resource waste. Utility Model Content

The spiral blades 24 are fixedly connected to the drive shaft 21 and rotate around the cooler 22 with the drive shaft 21 as the central axis under the drive of the drive shaft 21. The surface of the anti-condensation layer 23 facing away from the cooler 22 is a smooth surface or a non-stick surface. The compressor 6, the condenser 8 and the cooler 22 are connected by pipes to form a refrigeration circuit.
[0026] The cooler 22 is in the shape of a circular tube. Preferably, the cooler 22 uses stainless steel or aluminum alloy components with good thermal conductivity. A refrigeration jacket 221 is provided within the circumferential wall of the cooler 22. The refrigeration jacket 221 is connected to an inlet pipe 222 and an outlet pipe 223. The inlet pipe 222 is connected to the output end of the condenser 8, and the outlet pipe 223 is connected to the input end of the compressor 6. When the compressor 6 is working, it delivers high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant to the condenser 8.
