Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of snow melting machine technology, and in particular to a multifunctional snow melting machine. Background Technology

[0002] A slush machine is a device that produces molten slush. As an important component of existing catering and kitchen appliances, its design and performance directly affect the user experience and the quality of the beverage. Existing slush machines typically have a base with a storage chamber for liquid beverages. Inside the storage chamber are an evaporator for cooling the beverage and a stirring paddle for agitating it. A drive motor inside the base rotates the stirring paddle. The beverage stored in the storage chamber gradually cools to its freezing point under the action of the evaporator, forming an ice-water mixture. With continuous agitation by the stirring paddle, this mixture melts into slush.

[0003] Existing snow melting machines, in order to achieve various flavors, incorporate multiple independent processing units on the base. Each unit has its own storage chamber, evaporator, and agitator. However, this excessive independence between processing units means that the drive motor for the agitator, the compressor connected to the evaporator, and other components are also independent. While this ensures the processing work of each unit, it increases the number of parts in the snow melting machine, enlarging its size, increasing costs, and complicating control. This design makes snow melting machines unsuitable for home use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the defects and deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-functional snow melting machine that solves the problem of space and structural waste caused by the complex layout and relatively independent functions of the power component and refrigeration component, under the premise of having at least two processing units.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a multifunctional snow melting machine, comprising a casing and a refrigeration component and a power component located within the casing. The snow melting machine further includes two processing modules located on the upper part of the casing. Each processing module includes a stirring drum, an evaporator disposed within the stirring drum, and a stirring paddle. The stirring paddle is fitted outside the evaporator. The rear ends of the two processing modules are arranged opposite each other. The power component includes a drive motor and a drive structure located between the two processing modules. The drive structure includes a first drive shaft and a second drive shaft that pass through the evaporator and are poweredly connected to the stirring paddle. The refrigeration component includes a compressor, a condenser connected to the compressor, and a first condensing pipe and a second condensing pipe connected to the two evaporators. The connection ends of the first and second condensing pipes to the two evaporators are clamped between the two processing modules.

[0006] According to the present application, the snow melting machine includes two processing modules. In existing snow melting machines, the processing module typically includes a stirring drum, an evaporator, and a stirring paddle. The stirring drum holds the material, the evaporator is connected to a compressor to generate low temperatures, and the stirring paddle stirs the material in the stirring drum, causing it to cool evenly and form a snow-like substance. For ease of operation, a feed inlet is usually provided at the top of the stirring drum for pouring in the material, and the stirring paddle pushes the material from back to front. Simultaneously, a discharge outlet is provided at the front of the stirring drum for discharging the processed snow. Thus, the motor typically extends from the rear end of the stirring drum into the drum and drives the stirring paddle. In this application, the rear ends of the two processing modules are arranged opposite each other, and the drive unit of the power assembly is positioned between the two processing modules. This allows the drive motor within the power assembly to simultaneously drive the stirring paddles in both processing modules, eliminating the need for a separate drive motor for each module. This reduces the number of drive units, making the structure simpler and more efficient, and also reduces the overall size of the snow melting machine, making it more suitable for home use. The drive unit is positioned between the two processing modules, allowing the stirring drums of the two modules to be placed close together. This reduces the overall size of the snow melting machine and also compresses the distance and size of the drive module between the two processing modules. Due to the reduced distance, the drive motor can more efficiently drive the stirring paddle through the drive structure, preventing material from condensing on the condenser due to insufficient stirring. Similarly, the opposite processing modules at the rear end facilitate direct connection to the condenser and compressor, thereby improving the evaporator's efficiency. The shortened pipe connection between the evaporator and compressor also avoids heat loss in the condensation pipes, further improving the snow melting machine's efficiency. Preferably, the first and second condensation pipes are connected to the two sets of evaporators at the rear end, with the connection ends of the first and second condensation pipes to the two sets of evaporators clamped between the two processing components. By positioning the two processing modules on top of the casing and with their rear ends facing each other, the drive motor, condenser, and compressor can be conveniently located at the bottom of the casing and connected to the processing modules. Furthermore, the connection points for the condenser pipes and evaporator are positioned between the two processing modules. This results in a more rational overall structure for the snow melting machine and facilitates a reduction in its overall size. Finally, because the rear ends of the two processing modules are positioned opposite each other, the front ends are located on opposite sides of the snow melting machine. This means that when a user operates one processing module, the discharge ports of the two modules are located on opposite sides of the machine, preventing interference from the other module.

[0007] Meanwhile, existing snow melting machines have processing components that extend along the front-to-back direction, resulting in a large size for the product in this direction. While this isn't a major issue for commercial use, it's unsuitable for home use. Kitchen countertops and typical household tabletops are generally much shallower in depth than in width. Extending the two processing modules to the width of both sides of the countertop allows for more space to be occupied during use and storage, making it easier to place and store the snow melting machine.

[0008] As an optional solution, the drive motor includes a first output terminal and a second output terminal. The first output terminal is poweredly connected to the first drive shaft via a first clutch structure, and the second output terminal is poweredly connected to the second drive shaft via a second clutch structure. By setting the first clutch structure between the first output shaft and the first drive shaft, and setting the second clutch structure between the second output terminal and the second drive shaft, even if one of the two processing modules is not required to work, the power connection between the drive motor and the agitator can be disconnected by controlling one of the clutch structures, thus avoiding the waste of power from the drive motor.

[0009] As an optional solution, the drive structure also includes a triggering device for driving the first and second clutch structures. The triggering device, especially one capable of automatic control based on demand, can directly control the required output shaft to operate according to the user's function selection, while disabling unnecessary output shafts. This improves both the power output efficiency of the drive motor and the control timeliness of the clutch structure, allowing for timely control of the drive motor to drive or disengage from the agitator as needed. Alternatively, the triggering device can be configured for direct user operation, allowing the user to conveniently switch drive modes as required.

[0010] As an optional solution, the triggering device includes a trigger rod that pushes the first clutch structure or the second clutch structure; or, the triggering device includes a control unit and a pushing unit electrically connected to the control unit, the pushing unit pushing the first clutch structure or the second clutch structure. As mentioned above, depending on different environmental and functional requirements, the triggering device is further provided with a trigger rod, which the user can operate to control the triggering device; or, a pushing unit electrically connected to the control unit is provided, which controls the first clutch structure or the second clutch structure according to the requirements to achieve the corresponding power requirements. Of course, if neither of the two processing modules requires power drive, it is sufficient to directly control the motor to disconnect, so it is not necessary to simultaneously control the first clutch structure and the second clutch structure to disconnect them. When the control unit is further provided with a protection module, for example, when an abnormality in the power transmission between the drive motor of the stirring paddle and the stirring paddle is detected, the abnormal clutch structure can be controlled to disconnect the power connection, which also includes simultaneously disconnecting the power connection of both clutch structures, thereby improving the working safety and reliability of the snow melting machine.

[0011] As an optional solution, the drive structure includes a first stirring motor connected to the first drive shaft and a second stirring motor connected to the second drive shaft.

[0012] As an optional solution, the compressor and the condenser are disposed within the casing and located below the processing modules. The first and second condensing pipes are respectively connected to the evaporators through the rear ends of the two sets of processing modules, so that the connection ports of the first and second condensing pipes with the two sets of evaporators are located between the two sets of processing modules. As mentioned above, placing the compressor and condenser within the casing and below the processing modules saves space in the compressor casing and the installation space of the compressor and condenser, improving the space utilization efficiency of the snow melting machine casing. Furthermore, by utilizing the first and second condensing pipes to connect with the evaporators, the cooling capacity of the evaporators in the two-stage processing modules can be adjusted according to different processing requirements, ultimately obtaining different processed materials. Since the connection ports of the first and second condensing pipes with the evaporators are located between the two sets of processing modules, they share the space of the drive structure between the two sets of processing modules and do not occupy additional space. Therefore, the functional connection can be achieved without increasing the casing volume.

[0013] As an optional solution, the first condensing pipe includes a first capillary tube and a first copper tube, the second condensing pipe includes a second capillary tube and a second copper tube, the first capillary tube and the second capillary tube are connected to the condenser, and the first copper tube and the second copper tube are connected to the compressor.

[0014] As an optional solution, solenoid valves are respectively installed between the first capillary tube, the second capillary tube, and the condenser. By connecting the first and second capillary tubes to the condenser, and the second copper tube to the compressor, better cooling efficiency transfer between the condenser and the compressor is achieved, ensuring that the condensers of both processing modules can work efficiently and achieve better snow melting effects. Furthermore, solenoid valves are installed between the first and second capillary tubes and the condenser to limit the working state of the condensers of both processing modules. For different processing modules, continuous cooling is required to achieve the desired finished product when the snow-melted product is not fully formed. However, once the snow-melted product reaches the desired effect, continuous low temperatures are not necessary to avoid excessively low temperatures that could freeze the product into ice. Therefore, condenser control is required. However, different processing modules do not achieve the preset effect simultaneously. Relying on two compressors to cool the two processing modules separately is too costly and results in excessively large product volumes. Relying on a single compressor to control both processing modules simultaneously may prevent one of the processing modules from achieving the preset processing effect. Therefore, this application, while retaining a single compressor, uses solenoid valves to achieve separate control of the two processing modules, ensuring that both modules can achieve efficient and stable processing. In particular, through joint control with the drive structure and clutch structure, the two processing modules can also achieve different temperatures and different control speeds, thus enabling completely different beverage processing.

[0015] As an optional solution, the snow melting machine also includes a fan disposed inside the casing, the fan being connected to the condenser.

[0016] As an optional solution, the fan is located between the condenser and the compressor, with an air inlet at the bottom of the casing and the compressor located at the fan's air outlet. The fan connects to the condenser and dissipates heat, improving the condenser's heat dissipation efficiency. Furthermore, positioning the fan between the condenser and the compressor allows it to simultaneously dissipate heat from both, ensuring the heat dissipation needs of all functional modules of the snow melting machine while prioritizing the condenser's heat dissipation requirements.

[0024] To more clearly illustrate the overall concept of this application, a detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant application and not intended to limit the application. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the application are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The terminology used in this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0026] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model discloses a multifunctional snow melting machine, including a housing 1, a refrigeration component and a power component located within the housing 1. Two processing modules are provided on the upper part of the housing 1, including a first processing module 2 and a second processing module 3. The first processing module 2 includes a first stirring drum 4, a first evaporator 6, and a first stirring paddle 8. The first evaporator 6 and the first stirring paddle 8 are disposed inside the first stirring drum 4, and the first stirring paddle 8 is sleeved outside the first evaporator 6. The second processing module 3 includes a second stirring drum 5, a second evaporator 7, and a second stirring paddle 9. The second evaporator 7 and the second stirring paddle 9 are disposed inside the second stirring drum 5, and the second stirring paddle 9 is sleeved outside the second evaporator 7. The rear ends of the two processing modules are arranged opposite each other, that is, the rear ends of the first processing module 2 and the second processing module 3 are arranged opposite each other.

[0027] The power assembly includes a drive motor 14 and a drive structure. The drive structure is located between the first processing module 2 and the second processing module 3. The drive structure includes a first drive shaft 10 and a second drive shaft 11. The first drive shaft 10 passes through the first evaporator 6 and is connected to the first agitator 8 to drive the first agitator 8. The second drive shaft 11 passes through the second evaporator 7 and is connected to the second agitator 9 to drive the second agitator 9. The refrigeration assembly includes a compressor 20 and a condenser 21. The compressor 20 and the condenser 21 are connected to the first evaporator 7 through a first condensing pipe, and to the second evaporator 8 through a second condensing pipe.

[0028] The design, featuring two processing modules facing each other at the rear, utilizes a drive structure to drive the stirring paddle from the rear of each module. This allows the stirring drums of the two processing modules to be positioned close together, with the drive motor and drive structure powering both modules. This simplifies the design and increases efficiency. Because the distance between the two processing modules is reduced, the length of the drive structure and drive shaft is shortened, allowing the drive motor to drive the stirring paddle more efficiently. Furthermore, the reduced distance between the two processing modules and the compressed drive structure significantly decrease the overall volume of the casing and the machine, making the snow melting machine more portable and compact, meeting the needs of users in various environments, and particularly suitable for home use. Additionally, the evaporator and compressor, located within the casing, are connected to the two processing modules via pipes, further reducing the distance between the refrigeration components and the two evaporators, improving refrigeration efficiency, and ensuring the snow melting machine can better produce snow-melted products.

[0029] Example 1.

[0030] As a first embodiment of the multifunctional snow melting machine described in this utility model, such as Figure 1-4As shown. Specifically, the snow melting machine includes a casing 1, inside which are a refrigeration component and a power component. Two processing modules are arranged on top of the casing 1, including a first processing module 2 and a second processing module 3. The first processing module 2 includes a first stirring drum 4, a first evaporator 6, and a first stirring paddle 8. The second processing module includes a second stirring drum 5, a second evaporator 7, and a second stirring paddle 9. The first evaporator 6 and the first stirring paddle 8 are located inside the first stirring drum 4, with the first stirring paddle 8 fitted outside the first evaporator 6. The first stirring drum 4 is used to hold the food being processed. The first evaporator 6 is connected to the refrigeration component for cooling. The first stirring paddle 8 causes the food to tumble and scrapes off the food on the first evaporator 6, preventing the food from freezing on the first evaporator 8. The first mixing drum 4 is also provided with a first feed inlet 12 above it, through which food is fed into the first mixing drum 4; the front end of the first mixing drum 4 is provided with a first handle 23 and a first discharge port 24, by operating the first handle 23 to open the first discharge port 24, and under the drive of the paddle 8, the food in the first mixing drum 4 is discharged. The second processing module 3 has the same function as the first processing module 2, and the corresponding second evaporator 7 and second stirring paddle 9 are located in the second mixing drum 5. The second processing module 3 also includes a second feed inlet 13, a second handle 25 and a second discharge port 26.

[0031] The power assembly includes a drive motor 14 and a drive structure. The rear ends of the first processing module 2 and the second processing module 3 are arranged opposite to each other, thereby the drive structure is sandwiched between the first processing module 2 and the second processing module 3. The drive structure includes a first drive shaft 10 and a second drive shaft 11. The first drive shaft 10 passes through the first stirring tank 4 and the first evaporator 6 and is poweredly connected to the first stirring paddle 8. The second drive shaft 11 passes through the second stirring tank 5 and the second evaporator 7 and is poweredly connected to the second stirring paddle 9. Thus, the drive motor 14 can drive the first stirring paddle 8 and the second stirring paddle 9 respectively or simultaneously via the first drive shaft 10 and the second drive shaft 11.

[0032] As a preferred solution, such as Figure 1 , 2As shown, the drive motor 14 is also provided with a transmission structure 15, which converts the output of the drive motor 14 into a multi-terminal output. The transmission structure 15 includes a first output end and a second output end. A first clutch structure is provided between the first output end and the first drive shaft 10, and a second clutch structure is provided between the second output end and the second drive shaft 11. The first clutch structure includes a first output head 16 and a first engagement head 17, and the second clutch structure includes a second output head 18 and a second engagement head 19. The first engagement head 17 and the second engagement head 19 selectively engage or disengage with the first output head 16 and the second output head 18, so that the first stirring paddle 8 and the second stirring paddle 9 can be powered or disconnected from the drive motor 14 according to their functions.

[0033] As a preferred solution, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the refrigeration assembly includes a compressor 20 and a condenser 21 disposed within the housing 1. The compressor 20 and the condenser 21 are connected to a first evaporator 6 via a first condensing pipe and to a second evaporator 7 via a second condensing pipe. Specifically, the first condensing pipe includes a first capillary tube 27 and a first copper tube 29, which are connected to the first evaporator 6 at the rear end of the first processing module. The second condensing pipe includes a second capillary tube 28 and a second copper tube 30, which are connected to the second evaporator 7 at the rear end of the second processing module. Thus, the connecting ends of the first and second condensing pipes are located between two opposing processing modules. The first capillary tube 27 and the second capillary tube 28 are connected to the condenser 21 via a condensing manifold 31, and the first copper tube 29 and the second copper tube 30 are connected to the compressor 20 via a compression manifold 32. Preferably, a first solenoid valve 33 and a second solenoid valve 34 are respectively provided between the first capillary tube 27 and the second capillary tube 25 and the condenser main tube 31.

[0034] As a preferred solution, such as Figure 2 , 3As shown in Figure 4, the refrigeration assembly also includes a fan 22 disposed within the housing 1, located between the condenser 21 and the compressor 20. An air inlet 35 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1, and the compressor 20 is located downstream of the air outlet of the fan 22. When the fan 22 operates, it blows airflow and creates a negative pressure within the housing 1. External airflow is then drawn into the housing 1 through the air inlet 35, first flowing through the condenser 21 to dissipate heat, then through the fan 22, and finally through the compressor 20. Preferably, the airflow exits from the rear side of the housing 1, thereby forming a heat dissipation duct within the housing 1 that simultaneously dissipates heat from both the condenser 21 and the compressor 20.

[0035] By arranging the rear ends of the two processing modules opposite each other, the drive structure for driving the stirring paddle and the refrigeration components for cooling the evaporator are connected to the two processing modules respectively through the space between them. This allows the drive motor to simultaneously drive both processing modules through the drive structure, eliminating the need for a separate drive motor for each module. This reduces the number of drive units required in the snow melting machine, making the overall structure simpler and more efficient, and reducing its size, making it more suitable for home use. Furthermore, placing the drive device between the two processing modules allows the stirring drums of the two modules to be placed close together, compressing the overall size of the machine and the distance and size of the drive module between the two processing modules. Due to the shorter distance, the drive motor can drive the stirring paddle more efficiently, improving its performance and preventing material from condensing on the condenser due to insufficient stirring. In particular, the increased drive motor efficiency allows for the use of a smaller drive motor to meet the stirring requirements, and the overall size of the machine can be further reduced by decreasing the size of the drive motor. Correspondingly, the shortened distance also allows for a shorter pipe between the evaporator and compressor, avoiding heat loss caused by excessively long condensing pipes and improving the efficiency of the condensing system. Finally, because the two processing modules extend into the width of the snow melter, and the outlet is located on either side of the modules, operating one module will not affect the other. Furthermore, the width extension makes it easy for users to store the snow melter in their kitchen or on a countertop, making it more suitable for home use.

[0036] Understandably, for home use, single-processing, or small-volume processing, only one of the two processing modules may be used, or the processing of that module can be stopped once it finishes processing. Therefore, it is preferable to use a clutch mechanism and solenoid valves to control the different processing modules separately. However, if the snow melting machine is in a long-term working environment, such as a commercial environment, where both processing modules continuously operate under the drive of the drive motor and cooling module, and the material in the mixing drum is always in a snow melting state, and is constantly being taken out and replenished, then it may not be necessary to set up a clutch mechanism and separate solenoid valves.

[0037] Understandably, the compressor, condenser, and fan can be positioned in different locations and have different airflow directions depending on the available structural space. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the compressor is located to the left of the condenser and the fan, with the fan positioned between the compressor and the condenser, and the fan blowing airflow from right to left. Alternatively, the fan can be located outside the condenser, with the fan blowing airflow first through the condenser and then through the compressor.

[0038] Understandably, the drive motor can be directly clamped between the two sets of processing modules. The motor shaft of the drive motor outputs from both ends to form the first output end and the second output end, and drives the first processing module and the second processing module respectively.

[0039] Example 2.

[0040] As a second embodiment of the multifunctional snow melting machine described in this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, compared to Embodiment 1, the driving structure in this embodiment further includes a trigger rod that triggers the first clutch structure and the second clutch structure. It should be noted that the specific Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 described are not intended to be completely independent of each other, but merely to illustrate two preferred technical solutions. Furthermore, the technical features and solutions of the two embodiments are common and can be referenced from each other.

[0041] like Figure 6 As shown, the power assembly includes a drive motor 14 and a drive structure. The rear ends of the first processing module 2 and the second processing module 3 are arranged opposite to each other. The drive structure is sandwiched between the first stirring tank 4 and the second stirring tank 5. The drive structure includes a first drive shaft 10 and a second drive shaft 11. The first drive shaft 10 passes through the first stirring tank 4 and the first evaporator 6 and is poweredly connected to the first stirring paddle 8. The second drive shaft 11 passes through the second stirring tank 5 and the second evaporator 7 and is poweredly connected to the second stirring paddle 9. The drive motor 14 drives the first stirring paddle 8 and the second stirring paddle 9 respectively or simultaneously via the first drive shaft 10 and the second drive shaft 11.

[0042] The drive motor 14 is further provided with a transmission structure 15, which converts the output of the drive motor 14 into multiple outputs. For example, the transmission structure 15 is composed of a gearbox, which converts the output of the drive motor 14 into multiple outputs through a gear set. The speeds of the multiple outputs may be the same or different, and the direction of rotation of the multiple outputs can also be adjusted according to different processing requirements. Preferably, the transmission structure 15 includes a first output end and a second output end. A first clutch structure is provided between the first output end and the first drive shaft 10, and a second clutch structure is provided between the second output end and the second drive shaft 11. Further, the drive structure also includes a triggering device for driving the first clutch structure and the second clutch structure. Preferably, the triggering device is a trigger rod 36 that pushes the first clutch structure or the second clutch structure.

[0043] like Figure 6 As shown, the first clutch structure includes a first output head 16 and a first engagement head 17, and the second clutch structure includes a second output head 18 and a second engagement head 19. One end of the trigger rod 36 extends outside the housing 1, and the other end is connected to the first clutch structure and the second clutch structure. Preferably, the user directly operates the trigger rod 36 externally to push the first clutch structure, causing the first output head 16 and the first engagement head 17 to be triggered or disengaged, so that the drive motor 14 drives the first agitator 8 or is disengaged from the first agitator 8. Correspondingly, the user also pushes the second clutch structure through the trigger rod 36 to trigger or disengage the second output head 18 and the second engagement head 19, so that the drive motor 14 drives the second agitator 9 or is disengaged from the second agitator 9.

[0044] A trigger rod is directly installed on the outside of the housing, allowing the user to directly manipulate the trigger rod to drive the drive motor to select power output between different processing modules or to simultaneously output power to two processing modules. This simplifies the structure while meeting the corresponding power requirements. Using a mechanical trigger rod for passive clutch drive is low-cost, structurally robust, and provides overall ease of use.

[0045] Example 3.

[0046] As a third embodiment of the multifunctional snow melting machine described in this utility model, such as Figure 7 As shown, compared to Embodiment 2, the triggering device in this embodiment includes a control unit and a driving unit electrically connected to the control unit. It should be noted that the specific embodiments 1, 2, and 3 described are not intended to be completely independent of each other, but merely to illustrate several preferred technical solutions. Furthermore, the technical features and solutions of the embodiments are common and can be referenced from each other.

[0047] like Figure 7 As shown, the power assembly includes a drive motor 14 and a drive structure. The rear ends of the first processing module 2 and the second processing module 3 are arranged opposite to each other. The drive structure is sandwiched between the first stirring tank 4 and the second stirring tank 5. The drive structure includes a first drive shaft 10 and a second drive shaft 11. The first drive shaft 10 passes through the first stirring tank 4 and the first evaporator 6 and is poweredly connected to the first stirring paddle 8. The second drive shaft 11 passes through the second stirring tank 5 and the second evaporator 7 and is poweredly connected to the second stirring paddle 9. The drive motor 14 drives the first stirring paddle 8 and the second stirring paddle 9 respectively or simultaneously via the first drive shaft 10 and the second drive shaft 11.

[0048] The drive motor 14 is further provided with a transmission structure 15, which converts the output of the drive motor 14 into multiple outputs. For example, the transmission structure 15 is composed of a gearbox, which converts the output of the drive motor 14 into multiple outputs through a gear set. The speeds of the multiple outputs may be the same or different, and the direction of rotation of the multiple outputs can also be adjusted according to different processing requirements. Preferably, the transmission structure 15 includes a first output end and a second output end. A first clutch structure is provided between the first output end and the first drive shaft 10, and a second clutch structure is provided between the second output end and the second drive shaft 11. Further, the drive structure also includes a triggering device for driving the first clutch structure and the second clutch structure. Preferably, the triggering device includes a control unit 37 and a push unit electrically connected to the control unit.

[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, the first clutch structure includes a first output head 16 and a first engagement head 17, and the second clutch structure includes a second output head 18 and a second engagement head 19. The control unit 37 selects and drives the push unit to selectively trigger or disengage between the first clutch structure and the second clutch structure according to a program. Under the control of the control unit 37, the push unit can push the first clutch structure, causing the first output head 16 and the first engagement head 17 to trigger or disengage, so that the drive motor 14 drives the first agitator 8 or disengages from the first agitator 8. Correspondingly, under the control of the control unit 37, the push unit can also push the second clutch structure, causing the second output head 18 and the second engagement head 19 to trigger or disengage, so that the drive motor 14 drives the second agitator 9 or disengages from the second agitator 9.

[0050] Furthermore, the control unit is also electrically connected to the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve, and controls the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve to perform on / off actions on the first capillary and the second capillary, so as to realize the independent operation of a single processing module under the overall control of the snow melting machine.

[0051] The snow melting machine is equipped with a control unit and a drive unit. According to the selection of processing functions and programs, it performs corresponding processing on different processing modules, making the snow melting machine more intelligent and reducing direct user intervention. Ultimately, it provides users with a convenient, intelligent, and efficient multi-functional snow melting machine.

[0052] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this application; the directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0053] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if a device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures, but this does not imply that the actual device is inverted. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other orientations, rotated 90 degrees, or in other orientations, and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0054] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special definition and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0055] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of this application is not limited to technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or equivalent features without departing from the application's concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in this application will not be listed here.
