Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice-making equipment technology, and in particular to a snow melting machine with high efficiency ice output. Background Technology
[0002] A slush machine, also known as a slush maker, slush maker, or slush juicer, is what we commonly call a slush machine. It is used to process cold desserts, slushies, slushies, and other cold drinks. These drinks are suitable for all ages and are an excellent choice for cooling down in the hot summer. However, due to its inherent structure, existing slush machines leave a small amount of slushy residue in the ice-making cup after the slushy is produced. They cannot automatically discharge most of the slushy residue. Therefore, if not cleaned, it will mix with subsequent liquids, and the overall efficiency of making slushy is not high.
[0003] Chinese invention patent CN119642468A discloses a high-efficiency horizontal snow melting machine, including an outer shell, an ice-making component, an ice-discharging component, and a refrigeration system. The ice-making component includes an ice-making shell, an ice-making cup, an ice scraper, and a synchronous motor. The ice-making shell is located on the top of the outer shell. This snow melting machine uses a water storage chamber to supply water to the ice-making shell, and then uses a refrigeration system to cool the water in the ice-making shell to form ice. The ice is then converted into slush through the ice-making cup, ice scraper, and synchronous motor of the ice-making component. Finally, the slush is output through the ice-discharging component, achieving efficient slush production. The overall structure is practical, reliable, and easy to operate.
[0004] However, during the use of the snow melting machine, since the ice slush is discharged through the ice dispensing component, if the ice slush is not discharged in time due to insufficient mixing, it will stick together and accumulate, resulting in the inability to be discharged smoothly and affecting the user's use. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a high-efficiency ice melting machine.
[0006] The above-mentioned problems of this utility model are solved by the following technical solution:
[0007] A high-efficiency ice-removing snow melting machine includes,
[0008] Snow melting machine body;
[0009] A beverage container is provided on the main body, the beverage container has a beverage chamber inside, and a feeding port is provided at the top of the beverage container and a discharging port is provided at the bottom;
[0010] An evaporator, located inside a beverage container, is used for refrigeration, causing the liquid raw material poured onto the surface of the evaporator to solidify.
[0011] An ice scraper is located outside the evaporator, with its blade almost touching the surface of the evaporator, and is used to scrape off solids that have solidified on the evaporator.
[0012] The inner wall of the beverage container is equipped with baffles to scrape off the ice slush that has accumulated and solidified on the ice scraper.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, baffles are set on the inner wall of the beverage container, which can effectively scrape off the solidified ice slush accumulated on the ice scraper. When the ice scraper head forms a large ice pile due to the accumulation of ice slush, the baffles can prevent the ice pile from rotating with the ice scraper, so that it falls to the outlet in time, avoiding the problem of not being able to output due to the ice pile sticking together, and improving the ice slush output efficiency.
[0014] A further provision of the above technical solution is that the baffle rib can at least cover the discharge head of the ice scraper along its axial length.
[0015] A further setting of the above technical solution is: the outermost end of the baffle rib is infinitely close to the outermost end of the ice scraper.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the baffle ribs are set along the axial direction of the evaporator and their length covers the ice scraper's discharge head. The outermost end is infinitely close to the outermost end of the ice scraper, ensuring that the ice shavings can be scraped off by the baffle ribs as soon as they accumulate to the outer end of the ice scraper. The guide wall and the ice scraper are located on both sides of the discharge port, further optimizing the ice shavings flow path and ensuring sufficient mixing and output.
[0017] A further provision of the above technical solution is that the baffle is arranged along the axial direction of the evaporator.
[0018] A further provision of the above technical solution is that a first guide wall is provided on the side of the beverage can near the outlet, and the first guide wall is used to guide the ice slush thrown to the front end of the beverage can to the outlet.
[0019] A further provision of the above technical solution is that the first guide wall is an inclined wall that connects the front end and the bottom surface of the beverage can.
[0020] A further configuration of the above technical solution is that the guide wall and the ice scraper are located on both sides of the discharge port.
[0021] A further provision of the above technical solution is that the beverage container is also provided with a second guide wall, which is located on the upper end of the side wall of the beverage container and is used to guide the slush that has been thrown out to the upper part of the beverage container to the bottom.
[0022] A further provision of the above technical solution is that the second guide wall is configured as a bent structure, including an upper stop in a vertical direction and a lower stop in an inclined direction, wherein the upper stop and the lower stop are set at an obtuse angle.
[0023] A further feature of the above technical solution is that the lower stop is an arc-shaped wall.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0025] 1. By setting baffles on the inner wall of the beverage container, the accumulated and solidified ice slush on the ice scraper can be effectively scraped off. When the ice scraper head forms a large ice pile due to the accumulation of ice slush, the baffles can prevent the ice pile from rotating with the ice scraper, so that it falls to the outlet in time, avoiding the problem of not being able to output due to the ice pile sticking together, and improving the ice slush output efficiency.
[0026] 2. A guide wall structure is installed to guide the ice slush that splashes onto the inner wall of the beverage container, thereby improving the mixing effect of the equipment and further increasing the output efficiency of the ice slush;

[0040] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0041] Specific reference Figure 1-7 As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses a high-efficiency ice-melting machine.
[0042] A high-efficiency ice-removing snow melting machine includes,
[0043] Snow melting machine body 100;
[0044] A beverage cylinder 200 is provided on the main body 100 of the snow melting machine. A beverage chamber 202 is formed inside the beverage cylinder 200. An inlet is provided at the top of the beverage cylinder 200 and an outlet 201 is provided at the bottom.
[0045] Evaporator 400, located inside beverage container 200, is used for refrigeration to solidify the liquid raw material poured onto the surface of evaporator 400;
[0046] An ice scraper 300 is located outside the evaporator 400, with its blade infinitely close to the surface of the evaporator 400, and is used to scrape off the solids that have solidified on the evaporator 400.
[0047] The inner wall of the beverage container 200 is provided with baffles 210, which are used to scrape off the ice slush that has accumulated and solidified on the ice scraper 300.
[0048] The above is the basic scheme of this embodiment.
[0049] Specific reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the main unit 100 has an installation slot at its upper end for mounting the beverage container 200. The main body 100 of the snow melting machine has a drive component inside, and the drive shaft of the drive component extends into the installation slot to drive the ice scraper 300 inside the installation slot. At the same time, the evaporator 400 is located inside the ice scraper 300, and the main body 100 of the snow melting machine has a compressor and other components for cooling the evaporator 400.
[0050] The beverage concentrate is poured into the beverage container 200 through the inlet and onto the evaporator 400 inside the beverage container 200. The evaporator 400 is cooled by the compressor, causing the beverage concentrate on the surface of the evaporator 400 to cool down and solidify, forming a thin layer of ice. The ice scraper 300 rotates under the action of the drive component, and the blade moves relative to the surface of the evaporator 400, scraping off the thin layer of ice solidified on the surface of the evaporator 400 to form slush. Most of the scraped slush falls into the ice outlet channel formed on the surface of the ice scraper 300, and is pushed along the ice outlet channel to the head of the ice scraper 300, and then falls to the outlet 201 for discharge.
[0051] A cover plate 1 is installed at the discharge port 201 to cover and seal it.
[0052] The ice-making structure and ice-making principle in this embodiment are the same as those in the existing horizontal snow melting machine, and will not be described in detail here.
[0053] When a large amount of ice shavings accumulate on the head of the ice scraper 300, the ice shavings will stick together to form a large ice pile that cannot fall off. In this embodiment, a baffle 210 is provided on the inner wall of the beverage container 200. The large ice pile protrudes to the outside of the ice scraper 300 and comes into contact with the baffle 210 as the ice scraper 300 rotates. The baffle 210 stops the ice pile, preventing it from continuing to rotate with the ice scraper 300, thus allowing the ice pile to fall off the ice scraper 300 and smoothly enter the discharge port 201.
[0054] Preferably, in order to ensure contact between the baffle 210 and the ice pile, in this embodiment, the baffle 210 is able to cover the discharge head of the ice scraper 300 along its axial length.
[0055] Specific reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the ice shavings are pushed forward along the ice scraper 300, they are pushed to the head of the ice scraper 300 and then fall off the guide surface on the guide blade 310 at the head of the ice scraper 300 for discharge. In this embodiment, the length of the baffle 210 needs to cover the axial length of the guide blade 310. In this way, the ice pile that is piled up at any position on the guide surface can be stopped and the ice pile can be scraped off the guide surface.
[0056] In order to ensure that the baffle 210 can contact the ice pile, in this embodiment, the outermost end of the baffle 210 is infinitely close to the outermost end of the ice scraper 300.
[0057] Specific reference Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the baffle 210 protrudes radially from the inner wall of the beverage container 200, and its radial thickness is infinitely close to the outermost end of the ice scraper 300, especially the gap between the outermost end of the guide vane 310 and the beverage container 200. That is to say, the outer end of the beverage container 200 can form a radial connection with the guide surface of the ice scraper 300.
[0058] When the ice shavings accumulate on the guide surface, they start to accumulate from the inside of the guide surface. As more and more ice shavings are pushed out, the initial ice pile will be pushed outward. When the ice pile is pushed outward, it can be contacted by the baffle 210 and thus be scraped off by the baffle 210 in time.
[0059] Preferably, in this embodiment, there is still a certain gap between the baffle 210 and the outermost end of the ice scraper 300 to avoid contact between the baffle 210 and the ice scraper 300, which would affect the rotation of the ice scraper 300.
[0060] Preferably, the baffle 210 is arranged along the axial direction of the evaporator 400.
[0061] Based on the above settings, the baffle 210 can cover the outer end of the guide surface, thereby enabling timely cleaning of the ice pile.
[0062] After the ice pile is cleared from the guide surface, it falls onto the bottom surface of the beverage container 200. During the ice scraping process of the ice scraper 300, due to the rotation speed of the ice scraper 300, some of the scraped ice will splash inside the beverage container 200 and stick to the front surface of the beverage container 200. Therefore, in this embodiment, a first guide wall 220 is provided on the side of the beverage container 200 near the outlet 201. The first guide wall 220 is used to guide the ice that is thrown to the front surface of the beverage container 200 to the outlet 201.
[0063] Specific reference Figure 7 As shown, the first guide wall 220 is an inclined wall that connects the front end and bottom surface of the beverage container 200.
[0064] With this configuration, the slush that splashes onto the front end of the beverage container 200 slides down the vertical end face onto the first guide wall 220, and then slides down the first guide wall 220 to the outlet 201.
[0065] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first guide wall 220 and the ice scraper 300 are located on both sides of the discharge port 201.
[0066] When the slush splashes, in addition to splashing onto the front surface of the beverage container 200, it also splashes outward in a radial pattern, sticking to the side wall of the beverage container 200. The side wall of the beverage container 200 is usually designed with an arc-shaped structure. Therefore, the slush that splashes onto the upper part of the side wall cannot slide down the side wall. In this embodiment, the beverage container 200 is also provided with a second guide wall 230. The second guide wall 230 is provided at the upper end of the side wall of the beverage container 200 and is used to guide the slush that is thrown to the upper part of the beverage container 200 to the bottom.
[0067] Specific reference Figure 7 As shown, the second guide wall 230 is provided on the side wall of the beverage container 200 and is located near the top surface. With this arrangement, the slush that splashes onto the upper part of the side wall of the beverage container 200 can also fall down along the second guide wall 230.
[0068] In this embodiment, the second guide wall 230 is specifically implemented as follows: the second guide wall 230 is configured as a bent structure, including an upper stop 231 in a vertical direction and a lower stop 232 in an inclined direction, wherein the upper stop 231 and the lower stop 232 are set at an obtuse angle.
[0069] Specific reference Figure 7 As shown, the upper end of the upper baffle 231 of the first guide wall 220 is connected to the top surface of the beverage container 200 and is arranged in a vertical direction. The shaved ice that splashes onto the top surface of the beverage container 200 can fall directly under the action of gravity, while the shaved ice that splashes onto the upper side wall slides down along the vertical upper baffle 231.
[0070] Preferably, in this embodiment, the lower stop 232 is an arc-shaped wall.
[0071] Specific reference Figure 7 As shown, the lower baffle 232 is an arc-shaped wall with a concave inner side, and the inner diameter of the arc-shaped wall is larger than the inner diameter of the arc-shaped side wall of the beverage container 200. When the slush falls along the upper baffle 231 and transitions to the lower baffle 232, it slides down along the lower baffle 232. Under the action of the arc-shaped surface, it has a horizontal speed. Therefore, when the slush slides out of the lower baffle 232, it can still move a certain distance in the horizontal direction, so that it is closer to the position of the outlet 201 when it falls.
[0072] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
