Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice crushing device technology, specifically a roller-type ice crushing device. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, ice can be placed in wine and beverages to cool them down and enhance their taste, and it can also be used to refrigerate food and preserve ingredients. However, in some cases, it is necessary to further process and crush the ice before use. Currently popular ice processing and crushing devices on the market, such as dedicated blade ice shavers and stirring appliances, require motors. There are also manual ice crushers, but they are relatively laborious to operate. Therefore, there is a need for a roller-type ice crushing device.

[0003] Based on this, Chinese patent application CN202021699425.3 discloses an ice crushing device, including a shell, an ice crushing chamber and an ice storage chamber arranged from top to bottom inside the shell; a drive mechanism connected to the shell; and an ice crushing mechanism disposed in the ice crushing chamber, including an ice blade shaft passing through the ice crushing chamber, a movable ice blade fixed on the ice blade shaft, and a fixed ice blade fixed in the ice crushing chamber, wherein the ice blade shaft is driven to rotate by the drive mechanism.

[0004] It is evident that the patent application has shortcomings: traditional blade-type ice crushers require the blades to strike the ice multiple times during use, resulting in poor ice crushing efficiency. Furthermore, the uneven impact force of the blades may lead to inconsistent ice particle size, which may not meet the needs of high-end catering and reduce the practicality of the device.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, a roller-type ice crushing device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a roller-type ice crushing device. By using this device, the problems mentioned above can be solved. Traditional blade-type ice crushers require multiple impacts of the blades on the ice block, resulting in poor crushing efficiency. Furthermore, the uneven impact force of the blades in traditional blade-type ice crushers can lead to inconsistent ice particle size, which may not meet the needs of high-end catering and reduce the practicality of the device.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a roller-type ice crusher includes an ice crusher body, a drive assembly on one side of the ice crusher body, a feed inlet at the upper end of the ice crusher body, a discharge outlet at the bottom of the ice crusher body, a protective cover hinged to the top of the ice crusher body, the protective cover being used to open and close the feed inlet, the drive assembly including a drive box disposed on one side of the ice crusher body, a rubber support plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive box, a motor fixedly connected to the upper end of the rubber support plate, protective covers on both the left and right sides of the ice crusher body, a transmission rod rotatably connected inside the ice crusher body, one end of the transmission rod extending into the drive box, a roller body fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the transmission rod, the roller body being a component made of stainless steel, and multiple sets of ice crushing teeth being provided on the outer periphery of the roller body.

[0008] Preferably, the multiple sets of ice-crushing teeth are used to cut and crush the ice blocks when the roller body rotates.

[0009] With the above-mentioned mechanism design, the roller-type ice crushing teeth contact the ice block by crushing and cutting. The components in the roller-type ice crushing device are subjected to more uniform force, and the device can produce uniform ice particles, thus improving the quality of ice crushing.

[0010] Preferably, a second gear is rotatably connected inside the drive box.

[0011] The above-mentioned mechanism is designed so that the roller body can be rotated through the cooperation of gears and motor.

[0012] Preferably, the second gear is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission rod.

[0013] With the above-mentioned mechanism design, the transmission rod is fixedly installed with the roller body, and the rotation of the transmission rod will drive the roller body to rotate.

[0014] Preferably, the second gear is rotatably connected to one side of the first gear, and the first gear is rotatably connected inside the drive box.

[0015] With the above-mentioned design, the drive box protects the gear mechanism.

[0016] Preferably, the motor output end extends into the drive box.

[0017] Preferably, the first gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.

[0018] The above-mentioned mechanism is designed so that the first gear is driven to rotate by a motor.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. This utility model discloses a roller-type ice crushing device. The roller body in this application is the core component of the ice crushing device. It is a component made of stainless steel, and its surface is provided with multiple sets of ice-crushing teeth. Its function is to cut and crush the ice blocks when the roller body rotates. In use, the protective cover is flipped over and the feed inlet is opened. The motor is turned on, and the motor drives the first gear to rotate. In turn, the first gear drives the second gear, the transmission rod and the roller body to rotate. The roller body then rotates at high speed inside the ice crusher body. After the ice blocks enter the ice crusher body from the feed inlet, they are grabbed by the ice-crushing teeth on the roller body and driven to rotate. During the rotation, the ice blocks collide and rub against the ice-crushing teeth. The ice crusher gradually breaks down large ice blocks into smaller ice particles through rubbing and cutting. As the roller body continues to rotate, the crushed ice particles are discharged from the outlet, completing the ice crushing process. Once the ice crusher body has finished crushing the ice, the motor power is turned off, and the protective cover is flipped in the reverse direction to cover the top of the inlet, preventing impurities from the external environment from entering the ice crusher body. The rubber support plate is used to support the motor, which is an important support component during the installation and operation of the motor. It can ensure the stable operation of the motor and provide structural support, protection and buffering auxiliary functions for the motor. This setup makes the ice crushing efficiency of this device better than that of traditional blade ice crushers, resulting in more uniform ice particle size and improving the ice crushing quality and working efficiency of the device.

[0021] 2. Traditional ice crushers may produce ice particles of varying sizes due to uneven impact force from the blades. However, the device in this application can produce uniform ice particles when making shaved ice, thus improving the quality of the crushed ice. The roller-type ice crushing teeth contact the ice blocks through a combination of crushing and cutting, while traditional blade-type ice crushers use a hard impact method to crush ice. Therefore, the components in the roller-type ice crusher are subjected to more uniform force, the metal fatigue wear rate is slower, and the service life of the device is extended. In contrast, the blades of traditional ice crushers may break due to frequent impacts with ice blocks, requiring regular replacement.

[0022] 3. The roller in this application has a smooth motion trajectory when rotating, and the ice crushing process is mainly cutting, resulting in less collision noise. In contrast, traditional blade-type ice crushers are noisy due to the high-speed impact of the blades on the ice. Therefore, this device has better noise and vibration control and lower operating noise, making it more suitable for noise-sensitive scenarios. With its advantages of high efficiency, durability, and low noise, the roller-type ice crusher is more suitable for commercial or industrial scenarios with high requirements for ice crushing quality and equipment stability, meeting the needs of more customers.

The drive assembly 3 includes a drive box 33 on one side of the ice crusher body 1, a rubber support plate 37 fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive box 33, a motor 31 fixedly connected to the upper end of the rubber support plate 37, protective covers 32 on both the left and right sides of the ice crusher body 1, a transmission rod 36 rotatably connected inside the ice crusher body 1, one end of the transmission rod 36 extending into the drive box 33, and a roller body 34 fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the transmission rod 36. The roller body 34 is a component made of stainless steel, and multiple sets of ice crushing teeth 35 are provided on the outer periphery of the roller body 34.

[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] Combination Figures 1-5The function of the multiple sets of ice-crushing teeth 35 is to cut and crush the ice when the roller body 34 rotates. The second gear 312 is rotatably connected inside the drive box 33. The second gear 312 is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission rod 36. The first gear 311 is rotatably connected to one side of the second gear 312. The first gear 311 is rotatably connected inside the drive box 33. The output end of the motor 31 extends into the drive box 33. The first gear 311 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 31.

[0035] In summary, this utility model discloses a roller-type ice crushing device. The roller body 34 in this application is the core component of the ice crushing device. It is a component made of stainless steel and has multiple sets of ice-crushing teeth 35 on its surface. Its function is to cut and crush the ice blocks when the roller body 34 rotates. In use, the protective cover 2 is flipped over and the feed inlet 11 is opened, and the motor 31 is turned on. The motor 31 drives the first gear 311 to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear 312, the transmission rod 36, and the roller body 34 to rotate. The roller body 34 then rotates at high speed inside the ice crusher body 1. After the ice blocks enter the ice crusher body 1 from the feed inlet 11, they are grabbed by the ice-crushing teeth 35 on the roller body 34 and driven to rotate. During the rotation, the ice blocks and the ice-crushing teeth... The ice blocks 35 continuously collide, rub, and cut, gradually crushing large ice blocks into smaller ice particles. As the roller body 34 continues to rotate, the crushed ice particles are discharged from the discharge port 12, completing the ice crushing process. Once the ice crusher body 1 has finished crushing the ice, the power to the motor 31 is turned off, and the protective cover 2 is flipped in the reverse direction to cover the top of the feed port 11, preventing impurities from the external environment from entering the ice crusher body 1. The rubber support plate 37 is used to support the motor 31. It is an important support component during the installation and operation of the motor 31, ensuring the stable operation of the motor 31 and providing structural support, protection, and buffering functions for the motor 31. This setup makes the ice crushing efficiency better than that of traditional blade ice crushers, resulting in more uniform ice particle size and improving the ice crushing quality and working efficiency of the device.

[0036] Traditional ice crushers may produce ice particles of varying sizes due to uneven impact force from the blades. However, this application produces uniform ice particles when making shaved ice, thus improving the quality of the crushed ice. The roller-type ice crushing teeth contact the ice blocks through a combination of crushing and cutting, while traditional blade-type ice crushers use a hard impact method. Therefore, the components in the roller-type ice crusher are subjected to more uniform force, resulting in slower metal fatigue wear and extending the service life of the device. In contrast, the blades of traditional ice crushers may break due to frequent impacts with ice blocks, requiring regular replacement.

[0037] In this application, the roller's rotation trajectory is smooth, and the ice-crushing process is mainly cutting, resulting in less collision noise. In contrast, traditional blade-type ice crushers generate a lot of noise due to the high-speed impact of the blades on the ice. Therefore, this device has better noise and vibration control, lower operating noise, and is more suitable for noise-sensitive scenarios. With its advantages of high efficiency, durability, and low noise, the roller-type ice crusher is more suitable for commercial or industrial scenarios with high requirements for ice crushing quality and equipment stability, meeting the needs of more customers.
