Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a high-temperature snowmaking machine with quick nozzle installation. Background Technology
[0002] The nozzles of a high-temperature snowmaking machine are an important part of its operation. The main function of the nozzles is to precisely mix water and compressed air, and then atomize the water into tiny water droplets. These tiny water droplets are then condensed into snow crystals by a rapid cooling mechanism, thus completing the snowmaking process.
[0003] It is evident that the nozzle plays a crucial role in the operation of the high-temperature snowmaking machine. After the nozzle has been precisely mixing and atomizing water and compressed air for a long time, impurities in the water may clog the nozzle, rendering it unusable. The nozzle needs to be disassembled and replaced before it can continue to be used. The existing nozzles and the machine body are sealed, making disassembly time-consuming, laborious, and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0025] Each sliding groove 32 has a pressing groove 321 extending through it on one side facing the mounting surface 3. One end of the pressing groove 321 faces the sliding groove 32, and the other end faces the mounting surface 3. The deflection assembly 6 includes a pressing rod 61 and a pressing plate 62.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When disassembling the nozzle component 4, the pressing plate 62 is pressed and moved toward the mounting surface 3. During the movement, the pressing plate 62 drives the pressing rod 61 to slide in the pressing groove 321. The pressing rod 61 slides toward the sliding groove 32. After sliding, the pressing rod 61 forms an insertion fit with the mating groove 521 under the guidance of the first guide slope 7 and the second guide slope 8. At the same time, when the pressing rod 61 is guided by the first guide slope 7 and the second guide slope 8 and forms an insertion fit with the mating groove 521, the limiting rod 52 can slide toward the bottom of the sliding groove 32. After the limiting rod 52 slides toward the bottom of the sliding groove 32, the limiting rod 52 disengages from the limiting groove 43 of the nozzle component 4, and the nozzle component 4 can be removed.
[0031] When installing the nozzle component 4, the connecting end 41 of the nozzle component 4 is inserted into the mounting groove 31. After being guided by the third guide slope 9, the connecting end 41 of the nozzle component 4 pushes the limiting rod 52 to slide towards the bottom of the sliding groove 32. When the limiting rod 52 reaches the position of the limiting groove 43, the limiting rod 52 moves towards the limiting groove 43 under the elastic force of the return spring 51 and forms an insertion fit with the limiting groove 43. The nozzle component 4 is fixed in the mounting groove 31 under the action of multiple limiting rods 52.
[0032] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
