Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice maker technology, specifically to a disassembly and assembly structure for the extrusion end cap of an extrusion ice machine. Background Technology

[0002] In ice makers, one type of ice extruder produces ice through extrusion. An ice extruder generally includes an ice cylinder, a stirring assembly, and an extrusion nozzle. The stirring assembly is fitted into the ice cylinder, which holds liquids such as water, milk, and juice. The stirring assembly stirs the liquid, and as the liquid is cooled, it gradually solidifies. Under the stirring and extrusion of the stirring assembly, ice is extruded through the extrusion nozzle.

[0003] The applicant proposes a disassembly and assembly structure for the extrusion end cap of an extrusion ice machine, which on the one hand realizes the purpose of opening the ice-making cylinder, and on the other hand makes it more convenient to clean the extrusion port and / or change the shape of the extrusion port. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to propose a disassembly and assembly structure for the extrusion end cap of an ice extruder, which makes it easier to open the ice-making cylinder. In addition, it also makes it easier to clean the extrusion port and / or change the shape of the extrusion port.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: an extrusion end cap disassembly and assembly structure for an extrusion ice machine, including an ice-making cylinder and a stirring assembly. The stirring assembly is rotatably installed in the ice-making cylinder. One end of the ice-making cylinder is connected to a power unit, and the other end of the ice-making cylinder is set as an opening. The opening is detachably threaded to an end cap to close the ice-making cylinder. The end cap is provided with an extrusion port, which communicates with the ice-making cylinder.

[0006] It also includes a wrench with a protrusion that engages with an end cap and / or an extrusion port to enable the wrench to rotate the end cap for assembly and disassembly.

[0007] With the above structure, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0008] This disclosure improves upon the previous method by providing an open end to the ice maker, which is detachably threaded to an end cap for closing the ice maker. The end cap has an extrusion port and includes a wrench with a protrusion that engages with the end cap and / or the extrusion port to allow the wrench to rotate the end cap for disassembly and assembly, thus facilitating the opening of the ice maker. Furthermore, the completely removable end cap is easy to clean. Additionally, by changing the end cap to a different extrusion port shape, ice of different shapes can be produced, making it easier to clean the extrusion port and / or change the shape of the extrusion port.

[0009] In some embodiments, the stirring assembly has an axially detachable threaded connection at one end on the end cap side to a connecting part, which is connected to an ice-scraping rod. When the stirring assembly rotates, the connecting part drives the ice-scraping rod to rotate, and the rotating ice-scraping rod scrapes off the ice extruded through the extrusion port.

[0010] In some embodiments, the wrench has a socket hole for engaging with the connecting part and a radial groove for accommodating the ice sweeping rod. When the wrench is axially connected to the end cap so that the protrusion engages with the end cap and / or the extrusion port, the connecting part is inserted into the socket hole, and the ice sweeping rod moves axially with the connecting part and is accommodated in the radial groove. When the wrench rotates, it drives the end cap to rotate, and at the same time, the connecting part rotates through the engagement of the ice sweeping rod and the radial groove, so that the connecting part and the ice sweeping rod can be disassembled and assembled at the same time as the end cap is disassembled and assembled.

[0011] In some embodiments, the stirring assembly extends from one end of the end cap to form an extension end, which is removably threaded to the connection portion.

[0012] In some embodiments, a handle is also included, which is detachably connected to the wrench.

[0013] In some embodiments, the handle or wrench is provided with a ratchet mechanism to enable the handle to rotate in one direction. Attached image description:

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To better understand this application, various aspects of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these detailed descriptions are merely descriptions of exemplary embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application in any way.

[0022] like Figure 1 The image shows an ice-making component of an extrusion ice machine, including an ice-making cylinder 1 mounted on a power unit 3. The ice-making cylinder 1 is equipped with a stirring component 2. When the stirring component 2 rotates, it synchronously drives the connecting part 9 to connect. The connecting part 9 is equipped with an ice-sweeping rod 10. In this example, the ice-sweeping rod 10 is U-shaped. So when it rotates once, the two parts of the ice-sweeping rod 10 located at the connecting part 9 sweep ice at the same time, which is highly efficient.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the ice sweeping rod 10 forms a T-shape after being connected to the connecting part 9.

[0024] like Figure 1 , 6 As shown, the other end of the ice maker 1 is provided as an opening 4, and the opening 4 is detachably threaded to an end cap 5 to close the ice maker 1. The end cap 5 is provided with an extrusion port 6, which is connected to the ice maker 1.

[0025] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, it also includes a wrench 7, which has a protrusion 8. The protrusion 8 is connected to the extrusion port 6 so that the wrench 7 can drive the end cap 5 to rotate for disassembly and assembly.

[0026] Of course, other structures are also possible. For example, the protrusion 8 can be connected to the end cap 5 so that the wrench 7 can rotate the end cap 5 for disassembly and assembly, for example, through magnetic attraction or other plug-in structures.

[0027] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , 5 As shown, the stirring assembly 2 has a detachable threaded connection 9 on one side of the end cap 5. This connection 9 is connected to an ice-scraping rod 10. When the stirring assembly 2 rotates, the connection 9 drives the ice-scraping rod 10 to rotate, which in turn scrapes off the ice extruded through the extrusion port 6. This allows for easy removal of the connection 9 before removing the end cap 5, followed by further removal of the end cap 5 using a wrench 7. During installation, the end cap 5 is installed first, then the wrench 7 is removed, and finally the connection 9 is installed.

[0028] In particular, this disclosure further proposes a more efficient disassembly and assembly scheme, specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the wrench 7 has a socket 11 that engages with the connecting part 9 and a radial groove 12 for accommodating the ice-sweeping rod 10. When the wrench 7 is axially connected to the end cap 5 so that the protrusion 8 engages with the end cap 5 and / or the extrusion port 6, the connecting part 9 is inserted into the socket 11. At the same time, the ice-sweeping rod 10 moves axially with the connecting part 9 and is accommodated in the radial groove 12. Corresponding to the T-shaped design, the socket 11 and the radial grooves 12 on both sides of the socket 11 form a T-shaped receiving cavity. Thus, when the wrench 7 rotates, it drives the end cap 5 to rotate, and at the same time, the ice-sweeping rod 10 engages with the radial groove 12 to drive the connecting part 9 to rotate. This allows for the simultaneous disassembly and assembly of the connecting part 9 and the ice-sweeping rod 10 while disassembling and assembling the end cap 5, greatly improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly.

[0029] For ease of connection of connecting part 9, such as Figure 5 As shown, the stirring assembly 2 extends out of the end cap 5 on one side to form an extension end 13, which is detachably threaded to the connecting part 9.

[0030] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , 4 As shown, it also includes a handle 14, which is detachably connected to the wrench 7. This makes it convenient for the user to apply force.

[0031] Furthermore, the handle 14 or wrench 7 is provided with a ratchet mechanism 15 to enable the handle 14 to rotate in one direction. This makes it more convenient for the user to rotate.

[0032] The ratchet mechanism 15 is prior art and will not be described in detail. In this example, the handle 14 is equipped with the ratchet mechanism 15.

[0033] The socket of the ratchet mechanism 15 is fitted onto the outer hexagon of the wrench 7 to form a detachable connection between the handle 14 and the wrench 7.

[0034] 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.
