Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to snowflake machines, and more particularly to snowflake machines with a card-type feeding structure. Background Technology
[0002] A snow slush machine is a device that converts liquid into a slushy substance. Existing snow slush machines consist of a body and a feeding bottle. The body has an ice-making chamber, an ice-making wheel, and a scraper. The ice-making wheel is housed within the ice-making chamber, and the scraper is located on one side of the ice-making wheel. A pin is located at the bottom of the ice-making chamber. The feeding bottle has a feeding nozzle, inside which is a sealing ball for sealing the feeding opening. When the feeding bottle is on top of the body, the feeding nozzle is inserted into the ice-making chamber and engages with the pin, causing the sealing ball to move upward and open the feeding opening. Liquid from the feeding bottle flows into the bottom of the ice-making chamber. The ice-making wheel rotates, picks up the liquid, and solidifies it into ice. The scraper, as the ice-making wheel rotates, scrapes off the solids on the ice-making wheel to form slush. When the feeding bottle is removed from the body, the feeding nozzle disengages from the pin, and the sealing ball, under gravity, moves downward to seal the feeding opening, stopping the feeding. Because existing snow slush machines require the entire feeding bottle to be removed from the body to stop feeding, the operation is cumbersome and inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a snowflake machine with a card-type feeding structure to solve the problem that existing snowflake machines require the entire feeding bottle to be pulled out of the machine body when feeding stops, which is inconvenient to operate.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A snowflake machine with a cartridge-type feeding structure includes a machine body and a feeding bottle. The machine body has a positioning groove, an ice-making chamber, and a ejector pin. The positioning groove is located at the top of the machine body, the ice-making chamber is located below the positioning groove, and the ejector pin is located at the bottom of the ice-making chamber. The feeding bottle has a positioning strip, a feeding nozzle, and a sealing ball. The feeding nozzle can be inserted into the ice-making chamber and communicates with the ice-making chamber through a feeding port. The sealing ball is housed in the feeding nozzle and can move up and down along the feeding nozzle to open and close the feeding port. The feeding bottle can rotate and move up and down relative to the machine body, allowing the positioning strip to be inserted into the positioning groove or to lie horizontally on the upper end of the positioning groove. When the positioning strip is inserted into the positioning groove, the ejector pin inserts into the feeding nozzle and pushes the sealing ball to open the feeding port. When the positioning strip lies horizontally on the upper end of the positioning groove, the sealing ball disengages from the ejector pin and closes the feeding port.
[0006] Furthermore, it includes a feeding bottle group, which includes a plurality of feeding bottles spaced apart along the length of the positioning groove, and a plurality of ejector pins, each ejector pin corresponding to one of the feeding bottles.
[0007] Furthermore, there are several feeding bottle groups and several positioning slots, which correspond one-to-one. The feeding bottles in the same group are spaced apart along the length direction of the corresponding positioning slot.
[0008] Furthermore, the machine body has an outer shell, and the positioning groove is integrally formed on the top of the outer shell; or the machine body has an outer shell and a plurality of positioning blocks, and the plurality of positioning blocks are spaced apart on the top of the outer shell to form positioning grooves, and the positioning blocks are detachably and fixedly connected to the outer shell.
[0009] Furthermore, the feeding bottle is detachably and fixedly connected to the machine body, and the machine body is provided with an insertion hole for the feeding nozzle to be inserted.
[0010] Furthermore, the machine body has a receiving tray that forms the bottom of the ice-making cavity, and the receiving tray is detachably and fixedly connected to the outer shell.
[0011] Furthermore, the feeding bottle includes a bottle body and a bottle cap, the bottle cap being detachably and fixedly connected to the bottle body and having the feeding nozzle and the sealing ball.
[0012] Furthermore, the inner wall of the discharge nozzle is provided with a lower limit ring and an upper limit ring. The lower limit ring is adjacent to the discharge port, and the upper limit ring is spaced apart from the lower limit ring to restrict the movement of the sealing ball.
[0013] Furthermore, an ice-making wheel is provided inside the ice-making chamber, the ice-making wheel is located above the ejector pin, and the feed nozzle is spaced apart from the ice-making wheel when inserted into the ice-making chamber.
[0014] The advantage of this technical solution is that by configuring a positioning groove on the top of the machine body and configuring a positioning strip on the feeding bottle that plugs into the positioning groove or rests horizontally on the upper end of the positioning groove, when the positioning strip is plugged into the positioning groove, the ejector pin inserts into the feeding nozzle and pushes the sealing ball to open the feeding port. When the positioning strip rests horizontally on the upper end of the positioning groove, the sealing ball disengages from the ejector pin and closes the feeding port. Therefore, the user can realize feeding or stopping feeding of the feeding bottle by making the positioning strip plug into the positioning groove or resting the positioning strip horizontally on the upper end of the positioning groove. The operation is quick and convenient and the switching is convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Example: Figure 1-11As shown, the snowflake machine with a cartridge-type feeding structure includes a machine body 1 and a feeding bottle 2. The machine body 1 has a positioning groove 101, an ice-making chamber 102, and a ejector pin 103. The positioning groove 101 is located at the top of the machine body 1, the ice-making chamber 102 is located below the positioning groove 101, and the ejector pin 103 is located at the bottom of the ice-making chamber 102. The feeding bottle 2 has a positioning strip 201, a feeding nozzle 202, and a sealing ball 203. The feeding nozzle 202 can be inserted into the ice-making chamber 102 and communicates with the ice-making chamber 102 through the feeding port 204. The sealing ball 203 accommodates... The feeding nozzle 202 can move up and down along the feeding nozzle 202 to open and close the feeding port 204. The feeding bottle 2 can rotate and move up and down relative to the machine body 1, so that the positioning strip 201 can be inserted into the positioning groove 101 or lie horizontally on the upper end of the positioning groove 101. When the positioning strip 201 is inserted into the positioning groove 101, the ejector pin 103 is inserted into the feeding nozzle 202 and pushes the sealing ball 203 to open the feeding port 204. When the positioning strip 201 lies horizontally on the upper end of the positioning groove 101, the sealing ball 203 is disengaged from the ejector pin 103 and the feeding port 204 is closed.
[0030] When the snowflake machine with the card-type feeding structure is feeding, the feeding bottle 2 is rotated and inserted downwards so that the positioning strip 201 is inserted into the positioning groove 101. The feeding bottle 2 sinks down, causing the ejector pin 103 to insert into the feeding nozzle 202 and push the sealing ball 203. The sealing ball 203 moves upwards to open the feeding port 204, so that the feeding bottle 2 feeds.
[0031] When the snowflake machine with the card-type feeding structure stops feeding, it lifts the feeding bottle 2 and rotates it to make the positioning strip 201 disengage from the positioning groove 101 and stand horizontally at the upper end of the positioning groove 101. The feeding bottle 2 is lifted up to make the sealing ball 203 disengage from the ejector pin 103. The sealing ball 203 moves down to close the feeding port 204, so that the feeding bottle 2 stops feeding.
[0032] In summary, this utility model provides a snowflake machine with a card-type feeding structure to solve the problem that existing snowflake machines require the entire feeding bottle to be removed from the machine body when stopping feeding, which is inconvenient. This is mainly achieved by configuring a positioning groove 101 on the top of the machine body 1, and configuring a positioning strip 201 on the feeding bottle 2 that either inserts into the positioning groove 101 or rests horizontally on the upper end of the positioning groove 101. When the positioning strip 201 is inserted into the positioning groove 101, the ejector pin 103 inserts into the feeding nozzle 202 and pushes the sealing ball 203 to open the feeding port 204. When the positioning strip 201 rests horizontally on the upper end of the positioning groove 101, the sealing ball 203 disengages from the ejector pin 103 and closes the feeding port 204. Therefore, users can feed or stop feeding the feeding bottle 2 simply by inserting the positioning strip 201 into the positioning groove 101 or by resting the positioning strip 201 horizontally on the upper end of the positioning groove 101. The operation is quick and convenient, and switching is easy.
[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, a feeding bottle group 200 is included. The feeding bottle group 200 includes a plurality of feeding bottles 2 spaced apart along the length of the positioning groove 101, and a plurality of ejector pins 103, each corresponding to a plurality of feeding bottles 2. This arrangement, by configuring the feeding bottle group 200 on the machine body 1, and the feeding bottle group 200 being composed of a plurality of feeding bottles 2 spaced apart on the same positioning groove 101, allows the snowflake machine with a card-type feeding structure to feed rapidly.
[0034] In this embodiment of the invention, there are multiple feeding bottle groups 200 and positioning slots 101, each corresponding to a specific group. Several feeding bottles 2 from the same group are spaced apart along the length of the corresponding positioning slot 101. This arrangement, by configuring multiple feeding bottle groups 200 and positioning slots 101, enables the snowflake machine with a card-type feeding structure to feed materials quickly.
[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, the body 1 has a shell 104, and a positioning groove 101 is integrally formed on the top of the shell 104. Specifically, the positioning groove 101 is integrally formed on the top of the shell 104 by a stamping and bending process. The above arrangement, by configuring the positioning groove 101 to be integrally formed on the top of the shell 104, makes the shell 104 structurally compact and easy to process.
[0036] In other embodiments, a plurality of positioning blocks 100 are detachably fixedly connected to the top of the housing 104, and the plurality of positioning blocks 100 are spaced apart on the top of the housing 104 to form positioning grooves 101.
[0037] In this embodiment of the invention, the feeding bottle 2 is detachably and fixedly connected to the machine body 1, and the machine body 1 is provided with an insertion hole 105 for the feeding nozzle 202 to be inserted. This arrangement, by configuring the feeding bottle 2 to be detachably and fixedly connected to the machine body 1 via the insertion hole 105, facilitates the replacement of the feeding bottle 2.
[0038] In this embodiment of the invention, the machine body 1 has a receiving tray 106 forming the bottom of the ice-making chamber 102, and the receiving tray 106 is detachably and fixedly connected to the outer shell 104. This arrangement, by configuring the machine body 1 to have the receiving tray 106 forming the bottom of the ice-making chamber 102, and the receiving tray 106 being detachably and fixedly connected to the outer shell 104, facilitates the cleaning and replacement of the receiving tray 106.
[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, the feeding bottle 2 includes a bottle body 205 and a bottle cap 206. The bottle cap 206 is detachably and fixedly connected to the bottle body 205 and has a feeding nozzle 202 and a sealing ball 203. This configuration, by arranging the feeding bottle 2 with a detachably and fixedly connected bottle body 205 and bottle cap 206, allows the feeding bottle 2 to be reused, saving energy and protecting the environment.
[0040] In this embodiment of the invention, the inner wall of the discharge nozzle 202 is provided with a lower limit ring 207 and an upper limit ring 208. The lower limit ring 207 is adjacent to the discharge port 204, and the upper limit ring 208 is spaced apart from the lower limit ring 207 to restrict the movement of the sealing ball 203. This arrangement, by configuring the lower limit ring 207 and upper limit ring 208 on the inner wall of the discharge nozzle 202 to restrict the movement of the sealing ball 203, prevents the sealing ball 203 from moving too far upwards and failing to return to its original position.
[0041] In this embodiment of the invention, an ice-making wheel 3 is provided inside the ice-making cavity 102, and the ice-making wheel 3 is located above the ejector pin 103. When the feed nozzle 202 is inserted into the ice-making cavity 102, it is spaced apart from the ice-making wheel 3. The above configuration avoids interference between the feed nozzle 202 and the ice-making wheel 3 by configuring the feed nozzle 202 to be spaced apart from the ice-making wheel 3 when inserted into the ice-making cavity 102.
