Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice maker technology, specifically to a slush ice maker. Background Technology

[0002] There is an ice maker called a slush machine, which has a slush machine ice drum. For example, a technical solution disclosed in the slush machine with authorization announcement number CN1103545C has the following specific structure: a beverage source container containing a beverage source has a predetermined volume and is installed on top of the machine cover. A cylindrical evaporator roller, which is equivalent to an evaporator, is installed in the lower inner part of the beverage source container. Thus, the beverage source container and the cylindrical evaporator roller installed in the lower inner part of the beverage source container constitute a slush machine ice drum. The working principle of this slush machine ice drum is as follows: ice forms on the inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the evaporator roller, which is equivalent to an evaporator. A drive motor rotates a shaft connected to a scraper. The scraper contacts the inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the evaporator roller. At this time, the scraper rotates and contacts the inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the evaporator roller, thereby scraping off the ice formed on the inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the evaporator roller. The scraper continues to scrape off the ice formed on the inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the evaporator roller. This scraped ice mixes with the beverage source in the beverage source container, thereby producing a slush-like beverage.

[0003] In the prior art, there are also ice cream machines that use the above structure. Therefore, the slush machine referred to in this application also includes ice cream machines that use a similar structure.

[0004] For a long time, snow slush ice makers have been designed based on the above principles. However, the applicant proposes a new type of snow slush ice maker that offers an alternative approach. This new snow slush ice maker simplifies the structure and differs from the working principle of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a slush ice cream cone, which simplifies the structure and differs from the working principle of the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is: a snow slush ice cylinder, including a scraper, a first end, an axially arranged grooved body and a second end, the first end, the axially arranged grooved body and the second end forming a receiving cavity for containing the liquid to be cooled, the grooved body including an arc-shaped bottom and side plates located on both sides of the arc-shaped bottom, a cooling surface provided at least at the arc-shaped bottom, the cooling surface for freezing the liquid to be cooled, the scraper being movably arranged in the receiving cavity and cooperating with the cooling surface to scrape ice.

[0007] With the above structure, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0008] This disclosure improves upon existing technology by integrating the receiving cavity and the cooling surface into one unit. Compared to the prior art where the beverage source container and the cylindrical evaporator roller installed in the lower inner part of the beverage source container are combined into a single ice-making cylinder for a slush machine (ice cream machine), this disclosure simplifies the structure. The working principle is as follows: the receiving cavity holds the liquid to be cooled, the cooling surface is used to freeze the liquid, and a scraper is movably positioned within the receiving cavity, working in conjunction with the cooling surface to scrape the ice. This allows for continuous scraping of the ice formed on the cooling surface. The scraped ice rises to the top, pushing the liquid towards the cooling surface and creating active convection. Therefore, the scraped ice is less likely to accumulate on the cooling surface and affect its freezing process. With continuous operation, the cooled liquid gradually transforms into a slush-like consistency.

[0009] In summary, the slush mechanism ice cylinder disclosed herein simplifies the structure and differs from the working principle of existing technologies.

[0010] Preferably, the first end is set as a first end plate, the second end is set as a second end plate, and the first end plate, the groove-shaped body, and the second end plate are spliced ​​together to form a receiving cavity.

[0011] Preferably, the trough-shaped body includes a support and a trough-shaped evaporator. The trough-shaped evaporator is connected to the support and includes an arc-shaped bottom and side plates located on both sides of the arc-shaped bottom. The two ends of the support are respectively connected to a first end plate and a second end plate, and the first end plate, the trough-shaped evaporator, and the second end plate form the receiving cavity.

[0012] As a preferred option, an insulation layer is provided between the trough-type evaporator and the support frame.

[0013] Preferably, the trough-type evaporator is configured as a U-shaped trough.

[0014] Preferably, the cooling pipes are installed on the back of the curved bottom. Attached image description:

[0026] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this disclosure proposes a slush ice machine, including a scraper 1, a first end 2, an axially arranged groove-shaped body 3, and a second end 4. The first end 2, the axially arranged groove-shaped body 3, and the second end 4 form a receiving cavity 5, which is used to contain the liquid to be cooled. The groove-shaped body 3 includes an arc-shaped bottom 6 and side plates 7 located on both sides of the arc-shaped bottom 6. At least a cooling surface 8 is provided on the arc-shaped bottom 6. The cooling surface 8 is used to freeze the liquid to be cooled. The scraper 1 is movably disposed in the receiving cavity 5 and cooperates with the cooling surface 8 to scrape ice.

[0027] In this example, as Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, the scraper 1 is rotatably disposed in the receiving cavity 5. The scraper 1 is preferably a spiral scraper 1, thereby improving the ice scraping efficiency.

[0028] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , 4As shown in Figure 5, the first end 2 is set as the first end plate, and the second end 4 is set as the second end plate. The first end plate, the groove-shaped main body 3, and the second end plate are spliced ​​together to form the receiving cavity 5, which is designed as a split structure to facilitate manufacturing. Of course, the receiving cavity 5 can also be set as a one-piece structure.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, the trough-shaped main body 3 includes a support 9 and a trough-shaped evaporator 10. The trough-shaped evaporator 10 is connected to the support 9. The trough-shaped evaporator 10 includes an arc-shaped bottom 6 and side plates 7 located on both sides of the arc-shaped bottom 6. The two ends of the support 9 are respectively connected to a first end plate and a second end plate, and the first end plate, the trough-shaped evaporator 10, and the second end plate form the receiving cavity 5. This provides better support for the trough-shaped evaporator 10, which is beneficial to reliability and stability.

[0030] like Figure 6 , 7 As shown, the trough-type evaporator 10 includes an arc-shaped bottom 6 and side plates 7 located on both sides of the arc-shaped bottom 6. At least a cooling surface 8 is provided on the arc-shaped bottom 6, and the cooling surface 8 is used to freeze the liquid to be cooled.

[0031] The trough-type evaporator 10 is configured as a U-shaped trough.

In this example, the refrigerant pipe 11 is arranged in a serpentine coil shape on the back side of the arc-shaped bottom 6. The refrigerant pipe 11 is connected to an inlet pipe 5 for introducing refrigerant and an outlet pipe 6 for discharging refrigerant.

[0033] An insulation layer can be further added, for example, an insulation layer can be added between the trough evaporator 10 and the support 9.

[0034] For example, a lid can be added to the top of the receiving cavity 5 for hygiene purposes.
