Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to an ice-making device with ice-crushing function. Background Technology
[0002] In the food processing, cold chain transportation, and catering industries, ice-making equipment is required for long-term use. When users need finely crushed ice particles rather than whole blocks of ice, they need to use an ice crusher or break the ice manually. Therefore, the ice crushing function has become a key factor affecting ice-making efficiency and ease of use.
[0003] Existing ice-making devices typically use evaporators for cooling, freezing water into ice blocks in molds. The ice blocks are then removed by heating or mechanical ejection. However, traditional ice makers cannot easily adjust the size of the ice blocks according to the user's needs when making crushed ice, which may require secondary crushing, increasing energy consumption and equipment wear and affecting the performance. In addition, some ice-making devices are prone to problems such as ice particles sticking together or ice outlet blockage during continuous operation.
[0004] However, the applicant believes that the shortcomings are: 1. When the equipment is in use, it may be inconvenient to adjust the size of the ice blocks according to the user's needs, which may lead to secondary ice crushing, thereby reducing the convenience and efficiency of the equipment; 2. When the equipment is used for long-term ice crushing, ice blocks may stick to the outlet, causing blockage, which reduces the service life of the equipment to a certain extent.
[0005] To address this problem, we propose an ice-making device with ice-crushing capabilities. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ice-making device with ice-crushing function to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an ice-making device with ice-crushing function, including a crushing refrigerator. Both ends of the shredder are equipped with electric push rods, and the telescopic ends of the electric push rods are fixed with extrusion plates. Both sides of the lower end of the inner wall of the shredder are fixed with positioning rods, and multiple sets of toothed blocks are fixed in a linear array at the middle position of the positioning rods. Both sides of the bottom end of the extrusion plate are fixed with limit blocks, and the upper end of the limit blocks is fixed with an adjusting rod. The internal bearing of the adjusting rod is connected to rotating teeth, and the surface of the rotating teeth is fixed with adjusting teeth and extrusion teeth. A positioning support plate is slidably inserted at the bottom of the shredder.
[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the ice crusher is equipped with crushing rollers at both the upper and lower ends. The ice blocks can be crushed by the combined use of the crushing rollers and the extrusion plate.
[0009] Preferably, the extrusion plate is inclined, and multiple sets of racks are fixed at the upper end of the extrusion plate in a linear array. By using the shape of the extrusion plate in combination, the efficiency of the equipment in ice making can be improved.
[0010] Preferably, the surface of the positioning rod extends through the lower end of the limiting block, and the surface of the toothed block meshes with the surface of the rotating tooth. When the extrusion plate moves, the limiting block can drive the rotating tooth to mesh and rotate on the surface of the toothed block.
[0011] Preferably, the side of the adjusting tooth is fixed with multiple sets of arc-shaped plates in a circular array. The combined use of multiple sets of arc-shaped plates can flip the ice blocks at the bottom of the equipment upward, thereby avoiding the sticking of multiple sets of ice blocks and the resulting blockage of the outlet.
[0012] Preferably, a filter screen is provided at the middle position of the positioning tray, and the surface of the filter screen is in contact with the surface of the arc plate. With the cooperation of the filter screen, excessively large ice blocks can be isolated. At the same time, with the cooperation of the arc plate, ice blocks stuck to the surface of the filter screen can be removed, avoiding damage to the filter screen and improving the service life of the equipment to a certain extent.
[0013] Preferably, the upper end of the refrigerator is equipped with an ice maker body, and the upper end of the ice maker body is provided with a discharge port, and a protective plate is fixed to the side of the discharge port. With the cooperation of the discharge port, water splashing can be avoided.
[0014] This utility model provides an ice-making device with ice-crushing function, which has the following beneficial effects: By using the electric push rod and the crushing roller together, starting the electric push rod can drive the extrusion plate to move inward or outward. At the same time, starting the crushing roller can break the ice blocks that enter the equipment into appropriate sizes. In addition, according to the tilt setting of the extrusion plate, the ice blocks can move downward faster, while avoiding the situation where excessively large ice blocks fall directly, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of the equipment.
[0015] The movement of the extrusion plate simultaneously causes the adjusting rod to move the rotating teeth inward. When the rotating teeth mesh with the tooth block, they simultaneously drive the adjusting teeth and the extrusion teeth to rotate. At this time, the arc-shaped plate on the side of the adjusting teeth fits against the upper end of the inner wall of the positioning tray, allowing the ice blocks on the surface of the positioning tray to move upward. Simultaneously, with the cooperation of the extrusion teeth, ice blocks that are difficult to sink can be crushed a second time. The above-mentioned configuration can prevent ice blocks from sticking together and causing damage to the outlet, and also avoid ice blockage, thus improving the service life of the equipment to a certain extent.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] This embodiment proposes an ice-making device with ice-crushing function. Example 1 like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment proposes an ice-making device with ice-crushing function, including a crushing refrigerator 1. Electric push rods 2 are installed at both ends of the shredder 1, and extrusion plates 4 are fixed to the telescopic ends of the electric push rods 2. Positioning rods 5 are fixed on both sides of the lower end of the inner wall of the shredder 1, and multiple sets of toothed blocks 6 are fixed in a linear array at the middle position of the positioning rods 5. Crushing rollers 3 are installed at both the upper and lower ends of the inner wall of the shredder 1. The extrusion plates 4 are inclined, and multiple sets of toothed blocks are fixed in a linear array at the upper end of the extrusion plates 4. DC motors are installed at both the upper and lower ends of the rear of the shredder 1, and the output end of the DC motor is fixedly connected to one end of the crushing roller 3. The other end of the crushing roller 3 is slidably engaged with the inner wall of one end of the shredder 1. The surface of the DC motor is provided with a protective cover, and one end of the protective cover is provided with heat dissipation holes.
[0021] The electric push rod 2 used in this application is model FIRGELLI FA-200, and the ice maker body 12 is model Manitowoc NEO140. Both the electric push rod 2 and the ice maker body 12 are products that can be purchased directly on the market. Their principles and connection methods are existing technologies well known to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail here.
[0022] In the above embodiment, by activating the electric push rod 2, the extrusion plate 4 can be moved inward or outward. At this time, multiple sets of racks can be moved towards the position of the crushing roller 3. Through the cooperation of the crushing roller 3 and the extrusion plate 4, the ice can be crushed into the required size according to the user's different usage conditions. At the same time, according to the tilt state of the extrusion plate 4, the position of excessively large ice blocks can be restricted and broken when the ice is crushed, thereby preventing excessively large ice blocks from falling directly.
[0023] Example 2 like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, based on the same concept as the above embodiment, this embodiment also proposes: limiting blocks are fixed on both sides of the bottom end of the extrusion plate 4, and an adjusting rod 7 is fixed on the upper end of the limiting block. The internal bearing of the adjusting rod 7 is connected to the rotating tooth 8, and the surface of the rotating tooth 8 is fixed with the adjusting tooth 9 and the extrusion tooth 10. A positioning plate 11 is slidably inserted at the lower position of the crusher 1. The surface of the positioning rod 5 penetrates through the lower end of the limiting block. The surface of the tooth block 6 meshes with the surface of the rotating tooth 8. Multiple sets of arc plates are fixed on the side of the adjusting tooth 9 in a circular array. A filter screen is provided at the middle position of the positioning plate 11, and the surface of the filter screen is in contact with the surface of the arc plate. An ice maker body 12 is installed at the upper end of the crusher 1, and a discharge port is opened at the upper end of the ice maker body 12. A protective plate 13 is fixed on the side of the discharge port. A collection box is slidably inserted at the bottom of the crusher 1, and anti-detachment slide rails are installed at both ends of the collection box that are in contact with the inner wall of the crusher 1.
[0024] In the above embodiment, when the extrusion plate 4 moves, the adjusting rod 7 drives the rotating tooth 8 to move inward. At this time, the surface of the rotating tooth 8 meshes with the surface of the tooth block 6 and rotates, thereby driving the adjusting tooth 9 and the extrusion tooth 10 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the arc plate, the position of the ice block below the equipment can be adjusted and stirred, thereby preventing the ice block from sticking together after long-term use. At the same time, the surface of the arc plate is in contact with the surface of the positioning support plate 11, which can adjust the ice block stuck on the surface of the filter screen, and the ice block is further crushed according to the cooperation of the extrusion tooth 10. Through the above operation, the filter screen can be prevented from clogging, and the damage to the equipment can be reduced, thereby improving the service life of the equipment to a certain extent.
[0025] Working principle: When using the equipment, water is first poured into the ice maker body 12, while the protective plate 13 prevents water from splashing out. The ice maker body 12 is then started to freeze the water. The valve is then opened to allow ice to fall into the ice crusher 1, and the crushing roller 3 is activated to rotate. The electric push rod 2 then drives the extrusion plate 4 to adjust according to the desired ice size. The ice is then crushed by the action of the crushing roller 3 and the rack. Simultaneously, the movement of the extrusion plate 4 causes the adjusting rod 7 to drive the rotating gear 8 to crush the ice on the surface of the toothed block 6. The meshing rotation drives the adjusting tooth 9 and the squeezing tooth 10 to rotate. When the surface of the adjusting tooth 9 is in contact with the surface of the arc plate, it can prevent ice from sticking to the upper surface of the positioning tray 11 and causing damage. At the same time, the arc plate can stir the mixed ice. At this time, with the cooperation of the squeezing tooth 10, the ice blocked inside the positioning tray 11 can be crushed a second time. The crushed ice can then enter the collection box through the filter screen. The user can take out the required amount of ice from the collection box. The above is the entire working principle of this utility model.
