[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 10The aforementioned slush-making device includes a device body 1. The device body 1 includes a shell assembly 11, a stirring assembly 12 and a cooling assembly 13 respectively connected to the shell assembly 11. The stirring assembly 12 includes a stirring tank 121 connected to the shell assembly 11. The cooling assembly 13 includes a cooling sleeve 131 connected to the shell assembly 11 and sleeved on the outside of the stirring tank 121, and a condenser 132 connected to the outside of the cooling sleeve 131. The stirring tank 121 and the cooling sleeve 131 are detachably connected so that the stirring assembly 12 can be detached from the shell assembly 11.

[0030] In this invention, the mixing tank 121 is connected to the outer shell assembly 11 and is used to contain and mix materials for making slush. The refrigeration jacket 131 is sleeved on the outside of the mixing tank 121, and a condenser section 132 for heat exchange with the refrigeration jacket 131 is connected to the outside of the refrigeration jacket 131. Specifically, both ends of the condenser section 132 are connected to an external condenser, and the condenser section 132 contains a refrigerant for absorbing heat. The refrigerant cooled by the external condenser enters the condenser section 132 and exchanges heat with the refrigeration jacket 131. The refrigerant that has absorbed heat flows from the condenser section 132 into the external condenser for cooling. Optionally, the condenser section 132 is wound around the mixing tank 121. The condenser tube on the side of the cooling sleeve 131 can be made of a metal with high thermal conductivity, such as copper or aluminum. Preferably, the cooling sleeve 131 is tightly fitted to the mixing tank 121 to improve the heat exchange efficiency between the cooling sleeve 131 and the mixing tank 121. Furthermore, by setting the cooling sleeve 131 connected to the condenser 132 and making the connection between the mixing tank 121 and the cooling sleeve 131 detachable, the user can remove the mixing tank 121 and other mixing components 12 from the equipment for cleaning. This not only makes the cleaning process simpler and faster, but also ensures that the mixing components inside the mixing tank 121 are effectively cleaned, avoiding the residue of food residue and dirt, and reducing the risk of bacterial growth.

[0031] Furthermore, the outer casing assembly 11 includes an outer casing 111 sleeved on the outside of the cooling sleeve 131, a first end cap 112 and a second end cap 113 respectively connected to both ends of the outer casing 111. The device body 1 also includes a feeding assembly 2 and a discharging assembly 3. The feeding assembly 2 is provided with a feeding channel 21 communicating with the outside and the inside of the mixing tank 121. The discharging assembly 3 is provided with a discharging channel 31 communicating with the outside and the inside of the mixing tank 121. The feeding assembly 2 includes a first feeding part 22 connected to the first end cap 112. The discharging assembly 3 includes a first discharging part 32 provided on one side of the second end cap 113.

[0032] In this invention, the outer casing 111 is fitted over the outside of the cooling sleeve 131, providing additional protection and support, and helping to fix the position of the cooling sleeve 131. The first end cap 112 and the second end cap 113 are respectively connected to both ends of the outer casing 111 to form a complete outer casing structure, ensuring the safety and stability of the internal components. Specifically, the second end cap 113 is connected to the outer casing 111 by a snap-fit ​​mechanism. This design allows the user to easily disassemble the second end cap 113 from the outer casing 111 to remove the internal stirring assembly 12 for cleaning. Furthermore, the feeding channel 21 connects the outside and the inside of the stirring tank 121, and is used to add materials into the stirring tank 121. Similarly, the discharge channel... Channel 31 connects the outside and the inside of the mixing tank 121, and is used to discharge the prepared slush from the mixing tank 121. The first discharge part 32 is located on one side of the second end cap 113 to help guide the completed slush product out of the mixing tank 121 through the discharge channel 31. Preferably, the feeding component 2 and the discharge component 3 are respectively located at opposite ends of the outer shell component 11, and the feeding component 2 is located above the discharge component 3, so that the materials can flow naturally into the mixing tank 121 and the completed slush can be smoothly discharged from the mixing tank 121. At the same time, this design is more in line with the ergonomic principle, making it easier for users to operate, reducing fatigue and inconvenience during operation, and effectively improving the practicality of the equipment.

[0033] Furthermore, the feeding assembly 2 also includes a second feeding section 23 connected to the mixing tank 121 and extending into the inner side of the first feeding section 22. The first feeding section 22 and the second feeding section 23 together form the feeding channel 21. The discharging assembly 3 also includes a second discharging section 33 connected to the second end cap 113 and the first discharging section 32. The second discharging section 33 is sleeved on the outside of the first discharging section 32. The second discharging section 33 is provided with a funnel-shaped guide section 331. The first discharging section 32 and the guide section 331 together form the discharging channel 31.

[0034] In this invention, since the mixing tank 121 and the cooling jacket 131 are detachably connected, when the mixing tank 121 is removed from the outer casing assembly 11, the first feed part 32 connected to the first end cover 112 will also separate from the mixing tank 121. Therefore, the first end cover 112 and the first feed part 32 need to be tested for sealing, and there is a risk of leakage between the first end cover 112 and the first feed part 32. However, by setting a second feed part 23 that is directly connected to the mixing tank 121 and extends into the inside of the first feed part 22, this leakage can be effectively avoided. In this way, the second feed part 23 and the first feed part 22 together form a complete feed channel 21. Specifically, the second feed part 23 is fixedly connected to the mixing tank 121 by fasteners. When the equipment is running, the second feed part 23 extends into the inside of the first feed part 22, and the material enters the mixing tank through the feed channel 21 formed by the first feed part 22 and the second feed part 23 in sequence. When cleaning the equipment, first remove the second end cap 113 inside the bucket 121, then take out the mixing bucket 121. At this time, the second feeding part 23 separates from the first feeding part 22 and is taken out together with the mixing bucket 121 for cleaning. Further, the second discharging part 33 is connected to the second end cap 113 and the first discharging part 32, and is sleeved on the outside of the first discharging part 32. The second discharging part 33 is also provided with a funnel-shaped guide part 331. At the same time, the guide part 331 and the second discharging part 33 together form a discharge channel 31. This design allows the slush to be smoothly transferred from the mixing bucket 121 to an external container, reducing the risk of blockage. At the same time, the funnel-shaped guide part 331 can effectively guide the prepared slush to flow smoothly out of the mixing bucket 121 and be collected, effectively improving the practicality of the equipment. Specifically, the second discharging part 33 and the first discharging part are connected by a snap-fit, which makes it easy for the user to disassemble and clean the second discharging part.

[0035] Furthermore, the stirring assembly 12 also includes a rotating seat 124 connected to the stirring tank 121, a rotating shaft 122 rotatably connected to the rotating seat 124, and a stirring rod 123 connected to the rotating shaft 122. The rotating shaft 122 is provided with a first limiting part 1221, and the rotating seat 124 is provided with a limiting cavity 1241 that cooperates with the first limiting part 1221 to limit the axial movement of the rotating seat 124 and the rotating shaft 122. The first end cap 112 is provided with a first connecting hole 1121 through which the rotating shaft 122 passes.

[0036] In this invention, the rotating seat 124 is connected to the mixing tank 121 and serves as the support point for the rotating shaft 122. The rotating shaft 122 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 124 and is responsible for driving the mixing rod 123 to rotate and mix. By providing a first limiting part 1221 on the rotating shaft 122 and a limiting cavity 1241 that cooperates with and connects to the first limiting part 1221 on the rotating seat 124, the axial movement of the rotating shaft 122 is effectively restricted, increasing the stability and reliability of the mixing process and reducing mechanical problems or uneven mixing that may be caused by axial sway. Furthermore, The first end cap 112 is provided with a first connecting hole 1121 through which the rotating shaft 122 passes, meaning that the rotating shaft 122 can pass through the first connecting hole 1121 and be connected to an external motor, so that the external motor can drive the rotating shaft 122 to rotate, thereby driving the stirring rod 123 to rotate, and thus stirring the material in the stirring tank 121. In summary, the modular design of the rotating seat 124, the rotating shaft 122 and the stirring tank 121 allows the rotating shaft and the rotating seat 124 to be disassembled together with the stirring tank 121, further improving the convenience of the cleaning equipment.

[0037] Furthermore, the rotating shaft 122 has a first connecting part 1222 detachably connected to an external motor at one end away from the mixing tank 121, and a second connecting part 1223 detachably connected to the stirring rod 123 at the other end near the mixing tank 121. The cross-sections of the first connecting part 1222 and the second connecting part 1223 are both polygonal. The stirring rod 123 has a second connecting hole 1231 that mates with the second connecting part 1223. The first connecting part 1222 is located outside the device body 1, and the external motor can drive the rotation of the stirring rod 123 through the rotating shaft 122.

[0038] In this invention, the first connecting part 1222 is located at the end of the rotating shaft 122 away from the mixing tank 121 and is used for detachable connection with an external motor. The second connecting part 1223 is located at the end closer to the mixing tank 121 and is used for detachable connection with the stirring rod 123. Both the first connecting part 1222 and the second connecting part 1223 are polygonal cross-section designs. This design ensures that the power of the external motor can be effectively transmitted to the stirring rod 123 through the rotating shaft 122, avoiding slippage. It also facilitates disassembly and installation. In addition, by designing both ends of the rotating shaft 122 to be detachably connected to the external motor and the stirring rod 123 respectively, the flexibility and modularity of the equipment are greatly improved. Users can replace different stirring rods 123 or adjust the motor as needed to adapt to different working requirements. At the same time, it makes the components easy to separate, greatly simplifying the cleaning process, helping to maintain the hygiene of the equipment and reducing the risk of bacterial growth.

[0039] Furthermore, the stirring rod 123 is provided with a spiral stirring section 1232 around its periphery, and the stirring section 1232 is provided with a scraper 1233 for scraping slush. The stirring section 1232 includes a first stirring blade 12321, a second stirring blade 12322 connected to the first stirring blade 12321, and a third stirring blade 12323 connected to the second stirring blade 12322. The first stirring blade 12321, the second stirring blade 12322, and the third stirring blade 12323 are sequentially connected to form the spiral stirring section 1232. The scraper 1233 is connected to the first stirring blade 12321 and the second stirring blade 12322, or to the second stirring blade 12322 and the third stirring blade 12323, or to all three stirring blades simultaneously.

[0040] In this invention, the stirring section 1232 is located around the stirring rod 123 and includes a first stirring blade 12321, a second stirring blade 12322, and a third stirring blade 12323 connected in sequence. These stirring blades together form a spiral stirring section 1232. This design helps to push the material from one end of the mixing tank 121 to the other end and form a uniform mixing effect throughout the mixing tank 121, effectively improving the smooth texture and consistency of the shaved ice. The scraper 1233 is located around the stirring section 1232. The scraper is used to scrape the slush on the wall of the mixing tank 121. This design can scrape off the slush that has solidified on the wall of the mixing tank 121 and ensure that no excessive slush or material remains on the wall of the mixing tank 121 during the mixing process, which effectively improves the quality of the finished product. Specifically, the scraper 1233 is provided with an axially extending inclined surface on the side near the rotation direction of the mixing rod 123. The inclined surface can reduce the pressure borne by the scraper 1233 when scraping the slush on the wall of the mixing tank 121, which effectively reduces the workload of the equipment.

[0041] Furthermore, the condensing section 132 is provided with a spiral groove 1321, which together with the cooling sleeve 131 forms a condensing channel 1322. The condensing channel 1322 is wrapped around the side of the cooling sleeve 131, and the cross-sectional shape of the groove 1321 is arc-shaped.

[0042] In this invention, the condensation channel 1322 allows coolant to pass through, thereby cooling the material inside the mixing tank 121. The condensation channel 1322 is formed by the groove 1321 and the side of the refrigeration jacket 131, spirally wound around the outside of the refrigeration jacket 131. Compared with the existing method of winding condenser tubes on the surface of the refrigeration jacket in slush machines, this design can effectively increase the contact area between the cooling medium and the refrigeration jacket 131, allowing heat to be carried away more quickly, thereby improving the cooling efficiency and effect. Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the groove 1321 is arc-shaped. This design helps to ensure the smooth flow of coolant in the condensation channel 1322, reducing resistance and avoiding possible blockage problems. It also helps to evenly distribute the cooling effect, further improving the cooling effect.

[0043] Furthermore, the first end cap 112 is provided with a third connecting part 1122 that cooperates with the cooling sleeve 131 and a second limiting part 1123 that cooperates with the rotating seat 124. The second end cap 113 is provided with a third limiting part 1132 that cooperates with the stirring rod 123. The axis of the second limiting part 1123 coincides with the axis of the third limiting part 1132.

[0044] In this invention, the third connecting part 1122 is connected to the cooling sleeve 131 to ensure that the cooling sleeve 131 is securely installed inside the outer shell assembly 11. The second limiting part 1123 is connected to the rotating seat 124 to limit the position of the rotating seat 124 and the stirring tank 121, ensuring that they remain stable during operation and avoiding unnecessary movement or vibration. The third limiting part 1132 is connected to the stirring rod 123 to ensure that the stirring rod 123 can maintain the correct axial position when rotating. Therefore, by setting the third connecting part 1122, the second limiting part 1123 and the third limiting part 1132, a tight and stable connection between the various components is ensured, effectively improving the overall integrity and stability of the equipment. Furthermore, the axial center of the second limiting part 1123 and the axial center of the third limiting part 1132 coincide, ensuring the coaxiality of the rotating shaft 122 during operation, so that the stirring rod 123 can rotate smoothly and efficiently, improving the stirring effect and the durability of the equipment.

[0045] Furthermore, the first discharge section 32 is provided with a discharge port 321 that connects the mixing tank 121 and the outside. The equipment body 1 also includes a switch assembly 4, which includes a blocking member 41 connected to the first discharge section 32 and blocking the discharge port 321, and a lever 42 that pulls the blocking member 41 away from the discharge port 321.

[0046] In this invention, the discharge port 321 is the discharge port in the first discharge section 32 that connects the inside and outside of the mixing tank 121. This is the channel through which material is discharged from the mixing tank 121. Furthermore, the switch assembly 4 is used to control the opening and closing of the discharge port 321, ensuring that the user can conveniently control the discharge process. Specifically, the switch assembly 4 includes a blocking member 41 connected to the first discharge section 32 and blocking the discharge port 321, and a lever 42 that pulls the blocking member 41 away from the discharge port 321. The blocking member 41 is the component in the switch assembly 4 that enables control of the discharge process. The component 41 is used to block the discharge port 321, while the lever 42 is used to control the movement of the blocking component 41. When it is not necessary to discharge slush, the blocking component 41 blocks the discharge port 321. When it is necessary to discharge slush, the user moves the lever 42 to disengage the blocking component 41 from the discharge port 321, allowing the mixing tank 121 to communicate with the outside. Through the design of the blocking component 41 and the lever 42, the user can easily control the opening and closing of the discharge port 321, thereby controlling the discharge volume of slush as needed, effectively improving the functionality and practicality of the equipment.

[0047] Furthermore, the sealing member 41 includes a sealing part 411 connected to the discharge port 321 and a transmission part 412 connected to the sealing part 411. The lever 42 is provided with a first hinge rod 421, and the transmission part 412 is provided with a first hinge hole 4121 that cooperates with the first hinge rod 421 so that the lever 42 is hinged to the sealing member 41. The first discharge port 32 is provided with a second hinge rod 322, and the transmission part 412 is provided with a second hinge hole 4122 that cooperates with the second hinge rod 322 so that the sealing member 41 is hinged to the first discharge port 32. The switch assembly 4 is also provided with a return spring 43 for controlling the sealing member 41 to block the discharge port 321. The transmission part 412 is provided with a mounting groove 4123 that cooperates with the return spring 43. The axis of the return spring 43 coincides with the axis of the second hinge rod 322. The first hinge hole 4121 is elongated.

[0048] In this invention, the sealing part 411 is the portion of the sealing member 41 that directly seals the outlet 321. The sealing member 41 also includes a transmission part 412 connected to the sealing part 411, which transmits the operating force of the lever 42 on the sealing member 41 and simultaneously achieves the hinge connection between the sealing member and the first outlet 32. Furthermore, the lever 42 is provided with a first hinge rod 421, and the transmission part 412 is provided with a first hinge hole 4121 that engages with the first hinge rod 421. This design allows the lever 42 to be hingedly connected to the sealing member 41, facilitating user operation of the sealing member 41 via the lever 42. Furthermore, the first outlet 32 ​​is provided with a second hinge rod 322, and the transmission part 412 is provided with a second hinge hole 4122 that engages with the second hinge rod 322. This design allows the sealing member 41 to be hingedly connected to the first outlet 32, achieving stable installation and flexible operation of the sealing member 41. In addition, in order to control the sealing component 41 to automatically seal the discharge port 321 when no external force is applied, the switch assembly 4 is also provided with a return spring 43. The return spring 43 is connected to the transmission part 412 to provide a return force for the sealing component 41, which effectively improves the functionality of the equipment and the user experience. Furthermore, the transmission part 412 is provided with a mounting groove 4123 that is connected to the return spring 43. This is the position for installing and fixing the return spring, and the axis of the return spring 43 coincides with the axis of the second hinge rod 322. This design ensures that the return spring 43 can stably provide a return force for the sealing component 412, while avoiding skewing and jamming during the reset process, which effectively improves the structural stability and reliability. In addition, the first hinge hole 4121 is designed in a long strip shape, which means that the lever 42 has a certain range of movement within the first hinge hole 4121, thereby increasing the flexibility of operation.
