[0039] It should be noted that, for example Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the evaporating plate 200 is approximately a flat plate structure before shaping, for example Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the evaporating plate 200 is approximately a cylindrical structure after shaping, which is not limited here.

[0040] In some embodiments of the utility model, the evaporating plate 200 is an annular structure, along the circumferential direction of the evaporating plate 200, the evaporating plate 200 has a first end and a second end, the first end is provided with a first flange 220, and the second end is provided with a second flange 230, the first flange 220 is connected with the second flange 230, the contact area between the first end and the second end can be increased, and therefore the structural stability of the evaporating plate 200 is improved.

[0046] It should be noted that the positions of the clamping protrusion 240 and the mounting hole 250 can also be interchanged, that is, the clamping protrusion 240 is arranged on the second flange 230, and the mounting hole 250 is arranged on the first flange 220, which is not limited herein.

[0047] As another embodiment, the first flange 220 and the second flange 230 can also be connected by welding, which includes but is not limited to resistance welding, laser welding or ultrasonic welding, and the like, which will not be repeated herein.

[0048] As another embodiment, the first flange 220 and the second flange 230 can also be connected by bolting, which can facilitate the connection and fixation of the first end and the second end, which is not limited herein.

[0050] Of course, in some other specific embodiments, the clamping protrusion 240 can also be provided with two or four, and the like, which is not limited herein.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, the first flange 220 and the second flange 230 are located on the inner side of the evaporation plate 200, and there is no need to set a first flange 220 and a second flange 230 on the heat exchange cylinder 100, which can improve the sealing performance of the heat exchange cylinder 100, and optimize the structure of the evaporator, so that the structure of the evaporator is more compact.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the heat exchange cylinder 100, the profile of the accommodating cavity 110 is a circular structure, and the profile of the outer periphery surface of the evaporation plate 200 corresponds to a circular structure, which can facilitate the production of the evaporator.

[0054] For example Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the evaporator plate 200 includes a first plate 201 and a second plate 202 stacked together. During inflation, the first plate 201 bulges relative to the second plate 202 to form a convex surface 203. The area of ​​the first plate 201 opposite to the convex surface 203 is spaced apart from the second plate 202 to form a refrigeration pipe 210. After the evaporator plate 200 is shaped, the first plate 201 is located inside the second plate 202, and the side of the second plate 202 away from the first plate 201 is in contact with the inner circumferential surface of the receiving cavity 110. This can increase the contact area between the evaporator plate 200 and the heat exchange cylinder 100, thereby improving the thermal conductivity of the evaporator plate 200 and thus improving the refrigeration efficiency of the smoothie machine.

[0055] It should be noted that both the first plate 201 and the second plate 202 are made of aluminum. Aluminum has good thermal conductivity, which can improve the thermal conductivity of the evaporator plate 200. This will not be discussed in detail here.

[0056] It should be noted that the refrigeration pipes 210 are arranged in an S-shape, which can optimize the pipe layout of the refrigeration pipes 210. More refrigeration pipes 210 can be arranged on the evaporator plate 200, thereby improving the refrigeration efficiency of the smoothie machine. No restrictions are imposed here.

[0057] In some embodiments of this utility model, the heat exchange cylinder 100 is made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and low temperature resistance, which can improve the service life of the evaporator.

[0058] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 7 According to the second aspect of the present invention, a smoothie machine includes a base 410, a drive motor, a stirring blade 420, and an evaporator for a smoothie machine according to the first aspect of the present invention. The drive motor and the heat exchange cylinder 100 are both located on the base 410. The output shaft of the drive motor passes through the inner side of the evaporation plate 200. The stirring blade 420 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the heat exchange cylinder 100 and is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. It is not necessary to wind copper tubes on the inner wall of the heat exchange cylinder 100. The refrigeration pipe 210 can be formed on the evaporation plate 200 by a blowing process, which simplifies the production process of the evaporator and improves the production efficiency of the smoothie machine.

[0059] For example, the heat exchange cylinder 100 is a cylindrical structure, when manufacturing the evaporator, first, the refrigerant pipeline 210 is formed on the evaporating plate 200 by using the inflation process, then the shaping tool is used to shape the evaporating plate 200, so that the profile of the outer circumferential surface of the evaporating plate 200 matches the profile of the cross section of the accommodating cavity 110, so that the outer circumferential surface of the evaporating plate 200 can be tightly attached to the inner circumferential surface of the accommodating cavity 110, the refrigerant passing through the refrigerant pipeline 210 exchanges heat with the heat exchange cylinder 100 through the evaporating plate 200, the technical solution of the traditional copper pipe arranged in the heat exchange cylinder 100 can be abandoned, the production process of the evaporator can be simplified, and therefore the production efficiency of the slush machine is improved.

[0060] It should be noted that the stirring blade 420 is roughly in a spiral structure, when the driving motor drives the stirring blade 420 to rotate, the stirring blade 420 abuts against the outer circumferential surface of the heat exchange cylinder 100, so as to scrape off the slush attached to the outer circumferential surface of the heat exchange cylinder 100, which will not be described herein.
