Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of snow melting machine technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency and energy-saving snow melting machine. Background Technology
[0002] A snow melting machine is a multi-functional beverage making device used in catering settings to quickly process raw materials such as fruit juice and syrup into a smooth and creamy slush-like cold drink. Catering snow melting machines typically have a highly efficient refrigeration function. Their refrigeration system is similar to that of a refrigerator. By compressing the refrigerant through a compressor, the refrigerant changes from a gaseous state to a liquid state and releases heat. The liquid refrigerant then enters the evaporator through an expansion valve, where it rapidly vaporizes and absorbs a large amount of heat, thereby rapidly lowering the evaporator temperature. A highly efficient and energy-saving snow melting machine is a device that significantly reduces energy consumption while rapidly melting snow through optimized design and technology.
[0003] In existing technology, the slush from the slush machine needs to be removed during use. This requires the user to manually adjust the handle to pour the slush into a cup. Traditional slush machines require manual slush removal, necessitating one hand to hold the cup and the other to operate the handle. This is inconvenient, as the slush cannot be automatically removed, increasing labor costs and time consumption. Especially during peak hours, this can lead to efficiency bottlenecks, failing to meet the demand for rapid service. Manual operation may also introduce contamination risks, such as hand contact or insufficient container cleaning, affecting food safety standards and failing to meet the stringent hygiene requirements of modern catering. In commercial settings, customers have to wait for manual slush filling, extending service time, reducing satisfaction, and potentially impacting brand image and customer loyalty. Therefore, there is a need to develop a more efficient and energy-saving slush machine to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the problems caused by manually filling ice smoothies into cups in high-efficiency and energy-saving snow melting machines, which leads to inconvenience for users, affects food safety standards, increases labor costs and time consumption, and reduces user satisfaction.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a high-efficiency and energy-saving snow melting machine, including a snow melting machine casing, a control panel on the front of the snow melting machine casing, a weight detection support platform on the snow melting machine casing, an ice slush mixing tank fixedly connected to the snow melting machine casing, a discharge pipe on the ice slush mixing tank, a cleaning component on the snow melting machine casing, a connecting mounting bracket fixedly connected to the discharge pipe, an adjusting handle rotatably connected inside the snow melting machine casing, a drive motor fixedly connected to one side of the connecting mounting bracket, a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, a pull rope fixedly connected between the rotating shaft and the adjusting handle, a sliding limit plate slidably connected inside the connecting mounting bracket, an adjusting pull bracket rotatably connected between the adjusting handle and the sliding limit plate, and the sliding limit plate slidably connected inside the connecting mounting bracket. The control panel controls the operation of the device, the weight detection support platform detects the weight of the ice slush in the cup, the discharge pipe discharges the ice slush, and the ice slush mixing tank is used to process and store the raw materials.
[0006] Preferably, the connecting mounting bracket has a groove at the corresponding position of the sliding limit plate, and the sliding limit plate slides inside the groove.
[0007] Preferably, there are two pull cords, which are symmetrically and fixedly connected between the adjustment handle and the rotating shaft.
[0008] Preferably, the connecting mounting bracket has a groove at the corresponding position of the adjusting handle, and the adjusting handle rotates inside the groove.
[0009] Preferably, the internal sliding connection of the connecting mounting bracket is a limiting sliding rod, a sliding support rod is fixedly connected to the limiting sliding rod, a return spring is fixedly connected between the sliding support rod and the connecting mounting bracket, and a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the sliding support rod.
[0010] Preferably, the discharge pipe has a groove at the corresponding position of the sealing ring, and the sealing ring slides inside the groove.
[0011] Preferably, the cleaning components include a water storage chamber fixedly connected to one side of the snow melting machine casing, a water outlet pipe fixedly connected between the water storage chamber and the slush mixing tank, a sealed water inlet cover set on the slush mixing tank, a water inlet pipe fixedly connected between the sealed water inlet cover and the water storage chamber, a cleaning nozzle set on the sealed water inlet cover, and a mixing roller rotatably connected inside the slush mixing tank.
[0012] Preferably, there are several cleaning nozzles, and these cleaning nozzles are evenly distributed on the sealed water inlet cover.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. Compared to energy-efficient slush machines that manually fill cups with slush, this machine uses a rotating shaft to drive a pull rope that rotates the adjustment handle inside the mounting frame. The adjustment pull bracket on the handle then pulls a sliding limit plate within the mounting frame, discharging the slush. This eliminates the need for one hand to hold the cup and the other to operate the adjustment handle, providing convenience, reducing labor costs and time consumption, effectively meeting the demand for rapid food preparation, minimizing the risk of contamination from manual operation, ensuring food safety standards, and effectively meeting the stringent hygiene requirements of modern catering. This also guarantees brand image and customer loyalty.
[0015] 2. Clean water from the storage chamber is introduced into the sealed inlet cap via the inlet pipe. The cleaning nozzle on the sealed inlet cap cleans the inside of the smoothie mixing tank. Beverage residue, sugar, and moisture easily remain inside the slush machine; if not cleaned regularly, this can become a breeding ground for bacteria and mold. A cleanable slush machine, through regular internal cleaning, effectively prevents microbial contamination, ensuring beverages meet food safety standards. Beverage ingredients remaining inside the slush machine can easily produce off-flavors. A cleanable slush machine thoroughly removes residue, preventing flavor transfer and maintaining a pure taste. Acidic components and sugars in beverages can corrode and wear down internal parts of the slush machine; regular cleaning reduces the accumulation of these substances and extends the equipment's lifespan.

The weight of the ice slush in the cup is detected by the weight detection support platform 3. The ice slush is discharged through the discharge pipe 5. The ice slush mixing tank 4 is used to process and store the raw materials. When the cup is placed on the weight detection support platform 3, the control device is operated by the control panel 2. The drive motor 903 drives the rotating shaft 904 to rotate inside the connecting mounting frame 901. The rotation of the rotating shaft 904 drives the pull rope 905 to pull the adjusting handle 902 to rotate inside the connecting mounting frame 901. The adjusting handle 902 drives the adjusting pull frame 907 to pull the sliding limit plate 906 to slide inside the connecting mounting frame 901, so as to realize the discharge of the material through the discharge pipe 5.
[0024] Please see Figure 4 - Figure 5In this embodiment, the connecting mounting bracket 901 has a groove corresponding to the sliding limit plate 906. The sliding limit plate 906 slides inside the groove. The groove inside the connecting mounting bracket 901 corresponding to the sliding limit plate 906 limits the sliding limit plate 906 as it slides. Two pull ropes 905 are provided, and the two pull ropes 905 are symmetrically fixedly connected between the adjusting handle 902 and the rotating shaft 904. The two pull ropes 905 make the adjusting handle 902 more stable when pulled. The connecting mounting bracket 901 has a groove corresponding to the adjusting handle 902. The adjusting handle 902 rotates inside the groove. The groove inside the connecting mounting bracket 901 corresponding to the adjusting handle 902 limits the sliding limit plate 906 as it slides. The groove limits the rotation of the adjusting handle 902 within the groove. A limiting sliding rod 908 is slidably connected inside the connecting mounting bracket 901.

The groove opened in the discharge pipe 5 at the position corresponding to the sealing ring 911 limits the sliding of the sealing ring 911 within the groove.
[0025] Please see Figure 2 - Figure 3 In this embodiment, the cleaning assembly includes a water storage chamber 801 fixedly connected to one side of the snow melting machine housing 1, a water outlet pipe 802 fixedly connected between the water storage chamber 801 and the slush mixing tank 4, a sealed water inlet cover 804 disposed on the slush mixing tank 4, a water inlet pipe 803 fixedly connected between the sealed water inlet cover 804 and the water storage chamber 801, a cleaning nozzle 805 disposed on the sealed water inlet cover 804, and a stirring roller 806 rotatably connected inside the slush mixing tank 4. Cleaning water is transported through the water storage chamber 801 and the water inlet pipe 803 to the sealed water inlet cover 804. Inside the cover 804, cleaning nozzles 805, located inside the sealed water inlet cover 804, evenly spray water into the interior of the smoothie mixing tank 4. The rotation of the mixing roller 806 cleans the interior of the smoothie mixing tank 4. The cleaned water is filtered and sterilized through the outlet pipe 802 and then transported to the water storage chamber 801 for storage. Several cleaning nozzles 805 are provided and evenly arranged on the sealed water inlet cover 804. The multiple cleaning nozzles 805 enable the smoothie mixing tank 4 to evenly clean the residue inside.
[0026] During operation, the cup is placed on the weight detection support platform 3, and the device is controlled via the control panel 2. The drive motor 903 drives the rotating shaft 904 to rotate inside the connecting mounting bracket 901. The rotation of the rotating shaft 904 causes the pull rope 905 to pull the adjusting handle 902 to rotate inside the connecting mounting bracket 901. The adjusting handle 902 causes the adjusting pull frame 907 to pull the sliding limit plate 906 to slide inside the connecting mounting bracket 901.
