Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing, and in particular to a snow melting machine for making snow melting products. Background Technology

[0002] Slush machines, a common food processing equipment, provide semi-solid slushies that fall between liquid beverages and solid ice, and are widely used in commercial establishments such as beverage shops and restaurants. Due to limitations in size and processing capacity, existing slush machines are typically only suitable for commercial settings. These machines usually include a refrigeration system, a stirring system, and a base. The refrigeration system typically includes a condenser and a compressor. Existing slush machines require a sufficiently large stirring system to support their large processing capacity; therefore, the base structure is ample, providing sufficient installation space to fully accommodate the condenser and compressor. Furthermore, the base itself can be equipped with sufficient support structures, and the ample installation space also facilitates heat dissipation for the radiator and compressor. Therefore, slush machines typically used in commercial settings occupy a significant amount of space and are inconvenient to transport and store.

[0003] As people's living standards continue to improve, more and more users hope to make their own smoothies at home to meet the needs of family use or small gatherings. However, existing snow melting machines cannot meet this demand. On the one hand, existing snow melting machines are too large, while home use is usually limited in space, making them unsuitable for home environments. On the other hand, existing snow melting machines usually have too large a capacity, producing far more than a family needs at once. Furthermore, existing commercial snow melting machines typically only consider the product's functionality, neglecting portability and aesthetics, while home users have higher expectations for appearance. Therefore, designing a snow melting machine with a compact structure, small size, and lightweight design, particularly suitable for home use, has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the defects and shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this practical trapezoid is to provide a snow melting machine with a compact structure to solve the technical problems of unreasonable spatial layout, complex structure, large space volume and inconvenient product storage of existing snow melting machines.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a compact snow melting machine, including a main unit, a refrigeration component and a power component disposed within the main unit, and a processing component disposed within the main unit. The refrigeration component includes a condenser and a compressor connected by pipes. The condenser includes two vertically arranged condenser pipes and a heat sink connected between the two condenser pipes. The main unit includes a bottom cover, side plates, a support frame, and an inner support. The support frame is disposed above the bottom cover, and the processing component is disposed on the support frame. The inner support is installed on the front side of the bottom cover, and its top is connected to the support frame. The condenser is installed on the rear side of the bottom cover, and its top is connected to the support frame so that the inner support and the condenser jointly support the support frame. The side plates are installed on the side of the main unit to shield the inner support and the refrigeration component.

[0006] As mentioned earlier, existing snow melting machines place the processing component on the main unit. This processing component requires a sufficiently large volume to meet the demands of high-capacity processing. Correspondingly, the main unit needs a correspondingly large volume to support the processing component, thus providing ample space for the refrigeration component. When reducing the volume of the processing component to meet the needs of home use, the main unit no longer needs an excessively large volume to accommodate it. However, this still requires compressing the space. If the refrigeration component is compressed proportionally, on the one hand, the cooling efficiency of the processing component will decrease, affecting the normal refrigeration processing of the snow melting machine; on the other hand, an excessively small refrigeration component will cause manufacturing difficulties. According to the snow melting machine of this application, the main unit includes a bottom cover, side plates, a support frame, and an inner bracket. The bottom cover and support frame are placed vertically to form an installation space between them to accommodate the refrigeration component. The processing component is installed on the support frame to facilitate direct operation by the user. To reliably support the processing assembly, support structures are provided on both the bottom cover and the front and rear sides of the support frame. While independent support structures could be used to support the support frame on the front and rear sides respectively, these independent structures would inevitably occupy internal space of the main unit, preventing further reduction in the main unit's volume. This application provides an internal bracket at the front end of the bottom cover and the support frame, using this internal bracket to support the support frame at the front end; furthermore, the condenser is directly positioned at the rear end of the bottom cover, using the condenser to support the rear end of the support frame. This design ensures reliable support for both the front and rear ends of the support frame, while also reducing the need for a separate support structure at the rear of the main unit. This further reduces the number of internal structures required for the main unit, resulting in a more compact structure. The condenser features two condenser tubes and heat sinks. The axially extending condenser tubes provide sufficient strength to support the support frame, while the heat sinks connecting the tubes increase the condenser's strength and improve heat dissipation. Furthermore, directly using the condenser to support the bottom cover and the support frame allows the condenser to be positioned closer to the internal sidewall of the main unit, reducing the space between the condenser and the main unit and further compressing its size. This results in a compact and lightweight design, ultimately providing users with a small, easy-to-carry, and easy-to-operate snow melting machine.

[0007] As an optional solution, the condenser includes an upper support plate and a lower support plate that are respectively connected to two condenser tubes. The upper support plate and the lower support plate are located at the upper and lower ends of the heat sink. The bottom cover is provided with a lower mounting part connected to the lower support plate, and the support frame is provided with an upper mounting part connected to the upper support plate.

[0008] Furthermore, an upper support plate and a lower support plate are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the heat sink to further enhance the support strength of the condenser and ensure that the condenser can better support the support frame; the bottom cover is provided with a lower mounting part, and the support frame is provided with an upper mounting part, so as to achieve a better installation connection with the condenser and ensure that the bottom cover and the support frame can achieve a stable and reliable fixed connection with the inner support and the condenser.

[0009] As an optional solution, the host also includes a fan connected to the condenser to dissipate heat from the condenser. The fan includes a heat dissipation bracket and fan blades. The heat dissipation bracket is provided with a bracket mounting part that snaps into the condenser and a duct part for accommodating the fan blades and forming a heat dissipation airflow. The duct part is disposed opposite to the heat sink so that airflow passes through the heat sink.

[0010] For the condenser, during the operation of the snow melting machine, reliable heat dissipation of the refrigerant flowing through it is required. After compressing the size of the snow melting machine, there is not much space within the main unit for heat dissipation of the condenser. By adding a fan, using blades to actively dissipate heat from the condenser, reliable heat dissipation can be ensured. The heat dissipation bracket is directly connected to and installed on the condenser. On the one hand, it eliminates the need for additional installation structures; on the other hand, the heat dissipation bracket can directly form an efficient airflow channel for heat dissipation from the condenser, enhancing the heat dissipation of the heat sink and further improving its heat dissipation effect.

[0011] As an optional solution, the bracket mounting part includes an upper buckle plate that fastens to the upper support plate and a lower buckle plate that fastens to the lower support plate. The upper buckle plate is provided with an upper positioning hole, and the lower buckle plate is provided with a lower positioning hole. The upper mounting part includes an upper fixing post that passes through the upper positioning hole and is fixedly connected to the upper support plate, and the lower mounting part includes a lower fixing post that passes through the lower positioning hole and is fixedly connected to the lower support plate.

[0012] The bracket mounting section directly uses the upper and lower fasteners to fasten the heat sink, and further provides upper and lower positioning holes. The upper and lower fixing posts are used to fix the heat sink bracket, ensuring a reliable connection between the heat sink bracket and the heat sink without the need for additional fixing structures.

[0013] Alternatively, the fan is located on the side of the condenser opposite the inner support, and the compressor is located between the fan and the inner support.

[0014] To ensure reliable support of the bracket by the inner support and the condenser, a certain distance needs to be set between the inner support and the condenser. The compressor is placed between the inner support and the condenser, making full use of the installation space formed between the inner support and the condenser, thus making the space utilization of the main unit higher. At the same time, the fan is set on the side close to the compressor and the inner support, and the fan can dissipate heat from the condenser and the compressor at the same time, improving the working efficiency of the fan and achieving a compact overall space for the snow melting machine.

[0015] As an optional solution, the heat sink includes fins and a support plate, the fins and the support plate are connected between two condenser tubes, and multiple fins and support plates are provided and stacked along the axial direction, with the support plate disposed between adjacent fins.

[0016] The heat sink is configured with multiple layers of fins to increase the heat dissipation area and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. A support plate is sandwiched between adjacent fins to increase the support strength between adjacent fins, thereby ensuring reliable support of the condenser for the support frame.

[0017] As an optional solution, the condenser tube includes an upper limiting groove and a lower limiting groove located at the upper and lower ends, the support frame is provided with an upper limiting post inserted into the upper limiting groove, and the base is provided with a lower limiting post inserted into the lower limiting groove.

[0018] An upper limit groove and a lower limit groove are directly set at both ends of the condenser tube, and an upper limit post is set in the support frame to be inserted into the upper limit groove. Thus, the main force of the support frame is borne by the condenser tube. The condenser tube usually has better strength and can better support the support frame.

[0019] As an optional solution, the inner support includes two support feet disposed on the left and right sides of the bottom cover and extending laterally and abutting against the bottom cover, two side supports extending vertically upward on the left and right sides of the bottom cover, and a horizontal support disposed on the top of the two side supports and abutting against the support. The support feet, side supports and horizontal support are integrally bent to form the support feet, side supports and horizontal support.

[0020] The bracket feet, side brackets, and transverse brackets are integrally bent to form the inner bracket, giving it better strength. For the bottom cover, only a reliable connection to the inner bracket is required. The laterally extending bracket feet ensure a reliable connection between the inner bracket and the bottom cover. The transverse brackets provide more support contact between the inner bracket and the support frame, distributing the force exerted on the support frame and preventing stress concentration. Vertically extending side brackets on both sides ensure reliable support on both sides of the support frame, resulting in balanced force distribution and a more stable and reliable main unit structure.

[0021] As an optional solution, the bottom cover is provided with a lower mounting groove for accommodating the inner bracket and a lower locking post located in the lower mounting groove, the support frame is provided with an upper mounting groove for accommodating the horizontal bracket and an upper locking post located in the upper mounting groove, and the inner bracket is also provided with locking holes that respectively cooperate with the lower locking post and the upper locking post.

[0022] The system is equipped with a lower mounting slot and a lower locking post, an upper mounting slot and an upper locking post, and corresponding locking holes. The bottom cover, the support bracket, and the inner bracket are fixedly connected by screws, thereby ensuring the stable and reliable installation of the bottom cover and the support bracket and achieving a compact structure for the main unit.

[0023] As an optional solution, the side panel includes a front side panel, a rear side panel, a left side panel, and a right side panel, which are respectively fastened to the bottom cover and the support frame.

[0024] A front side panel, a rear side panel, a left side panel, and a right side panel are respectively provided and are fastened to the bottom cover and the support frame to cover and close the bottom cover and the support frame. Based on the bottom cover and the support frame, the inner bracket and the condenser are supported and fixed, and the side panels do not need to be installed with support functions. This allows the side panels to be designed with shapes and colors that meet user needs, so as to provide users with aesthetically pleasing products. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0032] 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.

[0033] Example 1.

[0034] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses an embodiment of a compact snow melting machine product. The snow melting machine includes a main unit 91, a refrigeration component and a power component 93 disposed in the main unit, and a processing component 92 disposed on the main unit. The processing component 92 holds the food to be processed. To facilitate user operation in adding and removing the processed food, the processing component 92 is exposed outside the main unit 91 for user convenience. In addition, it is also convenient for the user to remove and clean the processing component 92.

[0035] The main unit 91 includes a bottom cover 1, a support frame 2, an inner support 3, and side plates. The bottom cover 1 is located at the bottom of the main unit 91, and the snow melting machine is usually placed on the workbench via the bottom cover 1. The support frame 2 is located above the bottom cover 1, and the upper part of the support frame 2 is used to place the processing component 92. To ensure the structural stability of the support frame 2, the inner support 3 is set near the front side of the bottom cover 1, and the support frame 2 is mounted on the upper end of the inner support 3.

[0036] The refrigeration assembly includes a condenser 4 and a compressor 6 connected by pipes. The compressor 6 drives refrigerant to flow between the condenser 4 and the processing assembly 92, thereby achieving the cooling and processing of the food. Figure 3 As shown, the condenser 4 includes two vertically extending first condenser tubes 41 and second condenser tubes 42, and a heat sink 44 connecting the first condenser tubes 41 and second condenser tubes 42. The second condenser tube 42 has an inlet pipe 422 and an outlet pipe 423 respectively connected to the compressor 5 and the processing assembly. External refrigerant flows into the condenser 4 through the inlet pipe 422 and flows out through the outlet pipe 423. Of course, the inlet pipe and outlet pipe can also be located on the first condenser tube, or the inlet pipe and outlet pipe can be located on the first condenser tube and the second condenser tube respectively, or the inlet pipe and outlet pipe can also be located at the connection between the condenser tube and the heat sink, etc., depending on the structure of the condenser itself and the arrangement of the compressor and the processing assembly, and there are no specific limitations. Preferably, the condenser has an upper support plate 43 at the upper end of the heat sink 44 and a lower support plate 432 at the lower end of the heat sink 44. The heat sink 44 includes fins, which are multi-layered and arranged axially along the first condenser tube 41 and the second condenser tube 42. The condenser 4 also includes a support plate 45 located between the upper and lower fin layers. The first condenser tube 41 and the second condenser tube 42 extend axially, and the heat sink 44, the upper support plate 43, and the support plate 45 are all connected between the first condenser tube 41 and the second condenser tube 42, so that the condenser 4 constitutes a stable and reliable support structure.

[0037] To ensure structural stability and reliability between the bottom cover 1 and the support frame 2, a corresponding support structure is usually required at the rear of both the bottom cover 1 and the support frame 2. For example, in the prior art, a rear bracket is typically provided at the rear of both the bottom cover 1 and the support frame 2. However, providing both an inner bracket and a rear bracket inevitably occupies internal space in the main unit 91, making it inconvenient to install other structural components. In this application, the condenser 4 is installed at the rear of the bottom cover 1, and the top of the condenser 4 is connected to the support frame 2. Thus, the support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom cover 1 via the inner brackets 3 located at the front and rear sides and the condenser 4, ensuring a reliable connection between the support frame 2 and the bottom cover 1. Furthermore, the condenser 4 directly supports the support frame 2, eliminating the need for a separate support structure. This reduces the installation structure of the main unit, making its structure more compact and resulting in a smaller, lighter snow melting machine.

[0038] Furthermore, to enhance the heat dissipation effect on the condenser 4, the main unit also includes a fan connected to the condenser 4. Preferably, the fan includes a heat dissipation bracket 51 and fan blades 52. Figure 4 As shown, the heat dissipation bracket 51 includes a bracket mounting part that snaps into the condenser and an air duct part for accommodating the fan blades 52. The bracket mounting part includes an upper latching plate 511 and a lower latching plate 516. The upper latching plate 511 snaps into the upper support plate 43 of the condenser. Preferably, the upper latching plate 511 also has an upper snap-fit ​​513 that snaps into the upper support plate 43. The lower latching plate 516 snaps into the lower support plate 432. Preferably, the lower latching plate 516 has a lower snap-fit ​​that snaps into the lower support plate 432. By directly snapping the upper latching plate 511 and the lower latching plate into the condenser 4, excessive installation structures are unnecessary, resulting in a simple and compact structure.

[0039] The fan unit is equipped with an air duct ring plate 514 that connects to the bracket mounting part and extends outward. The air duct ring plate 514 is annular, and the fan blade 52 is disposed within the air duct ring plate 514. When the fan blade 52 is working, it drives the airflow through the heat sink 44 to dissipate heat from the condenser 4. Due to the guiding and converging effect of the air duct, the airflow can flow more concentratedly through the heat sink 44, resulting in better heat dissipation and higher efficiency. This allows a smaller fan to meet the heat dissipation requirements of the condenser 4, thereby reducing the size of the condenser and fan and achieving a compact and small overall structure for the snow melting machine. To ensure stable and reliable installation of the fan blade 52 and the heat sink bracket, the heat sink bracket is also equipped with a fan blade screw post 515 for locking the fan blade 52 to secure the fan blade 52 to the heat sink bracket.

[0040] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the upper support plate 43 is provided with an upper locking hole 431, and the upper buckle plate 511 is also provided with an upper positioning hole 512. The upper positioning hole 512 corresponds to the upper locking hole 431. Preferably, there are two upper locking holes 431 and upper positioning holes 512. Correspondingly, the support frame 2 is provided with an upper fixing post 22. The upper fixing post 22 passes through the upper positioning hole 512, and a screw is provided at the upper fixing post 22 to lock it to the upper locking hole 431. The upper fixing post 22 includes an upper column body 221. The bottom end of the upper column body 221 is provided with an upper fixing platform 222. The interior of the upper column body 221 is provided with an upper through hole 223. The center of the upper fixing platform 222 is provided with an upper screw hole 224 corresponding to the upper through hole 223. The upper through hole 223, the upper screw hole 224 and the upper locking hole 431 are fixedly connected by screws. Preferably, the upper buckle plate 511 is further provided with a matching positioning annular plate on the outside of the upper column 221. On the one hand, this can better ensure the positioning and matching of the upper buckle plate 511 and the upper fixing column 22, and on the other hand, it increases the strength of the upper buckle plate 511.

[0041] The lower support plate 432 is provided with a lower locking hole 433, and the lower buckle plate 516 is provided with a lower positioning hole 517. Preferably, there are two lower locking holes 433 and two lower positioning holes 517. The bottom cover 1 is provided with a lower fixing post 11, and the top of the lower fixing post 11 is provided with a lower fixing platform 12. The center of the lower fixing platform 12 is provided with a lower screw hole 13 corresponding to the lower locking hole 433. The lower screw hole 13 and the lower locking hole 433 correspond to each other and are fixedly connected by screws.

[0042] like Figures 2-6As shown, the inner support 3 includes support feet 31, side supports 32 and a cross support 33. There are two support feet 31 which are located at the bottom of the inner support 3. The support feet 31 extend horizontally and abut against the bottom cover 1. There are two side supports 32 which are respectively connected to the support feet 31 on both sides. The side supports 32 extend vertically. The cross support 33 connects the two side supports 32. The cross support 33 abuts against the carrier 2 to support the carrier 2. The inner support 3 is integrally bent into a "冂" shape to respectively form the support feet 31, side supports 32 and cross support 33. Preferably, the bottom cover 1 is provided with a lower mounting groove 14 that cooperates with the support feet 31. A lower locking post 15 is provided in the lower mounting groove 14. The support feet 31 are locked to the lower locking post 15 by screws to fixedly connect the inner support 3 to the bottom cover 1. The carrier 2 is provided with an upper mounting groove for accommodating the cross support 33 and upper locking posts located in the upper mounting groove. The cross support 33 is provided with through holes for screw locking. The cross support 33 is fixedly connected to the carrier 2 by screws, thereby realizing the fixed connection of the inner support 3 to the bottom cover 1 and the carrier 2 respectively.

[0043] Preferably, as Figure 6 As shown, in order to ensure the reliable fixed connection of the inner support 3 and the condenser 4 to the bottom cover 1 and the carrier 2, the inner support 3 is arranged near the front side of the bottom cover 1 and the carrier 2, while the condenser 4 is arranged near the rear side of the bottom cover 1 and the carrier 2. An accommodation space is formed between the inner support 3 and the condenser 4. The compressor 6 is arranged between the inner support 3 and the condenser 4. In this way, the compressor 6 only needs to occupy the installation accommodation space inside the main unit, and there is no need to set up a separate installation space structure. Preferably, the fan is arranged on one side of the condenser 4 close to the compressor 6. In this way, the fan can simultaneously dissipate heat from the condenser 4 and the compressor 6, improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the main unit, and also making the space utilization rate of the main unit higher and the structure more compact.

[0044] Preferably, as Figure 2As shown, the side panels include a front side panel 71, a right side panel 72, a left side panel 73, and a rear side panel 74. After installing the inner support 3, condenser 4, and compressor 6 onto the bottom cover 1, and then installing the support bracket 2 onto the inner support 3 and the condenser 4, the main body assembly of the host is completed. The front side panel 71, right side panel 72, left side panel 73, and rear side panel 74 are then fastened to the bottom cover 1 and the support bracket 2 respectively to conceal the main body of the host and prevent the internal structural components from being exposed. Since the support bracket 2 relies on the support of the inner support 3 and the condenser 4, the side panels do not need to perform a supporting function. Therefore, the side panels can be designed as aesthetic components, with shapes tailored to meet the user's desire for a more aesthetically pleasing design.

[0045] By directly utilizing the condenser to support the support frame, the structure of the internal support components of the main unit is reduced, improving the structural utilization rate of each component within the main unit. This results in a smaller and more compact main unit. Furthermore, the condenser increases its own strength by incorporating condenser tubes, while simultaneously providing support. The appropriate increase in structural volume also enhances the condenser's heat dissipation efficiency. Thus, a better balance is achieved between heat dissipation and structural support, resulting in a compact structure and a lightweight, small-sized snow melting machine. Ultimately, this provides users with a compact, small-sized snow melting machine product that is easy to transport and operate.

[0046] It is understood that the inner support may also be composed of multiple different structures welded together; or, the inner support may be assembled from multiple different structures; or, the multiple different structures of the inner support may be respectively supported and connected to the bottom cover and the support frame. For example, at least two independent side supports are provided, the side supports are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom cover and the support frame, and the side supports are further fixedly connected by structures such as cross supports.

[0047] Understandably, the inner support can also be composed of multiple independent structures, such as at least two "L"-shaped structures, including an integral support foot and a side support, wherein the support foot is integrally formed with the bottom cover, or the support foot is fixedly connected to the bottom cover; the inner support is provided with a horizontal support at the top of the side support.

[0048] Understandably, the condenser may not have corresponding upper and lower support frames, and the support frame may be directly connected to the heat sink; or the support frame may be connected to the condenser tube.

[0049] Understandably, the condenser is located between two condenser tubes with an integral, vertically extending heat sink, rather than having a multi-layer structure.

[0050] It is understood that multiple condenser tubes may be provided, all of which extend vertically, and the heat sinks are respectively connected between adjacent condenser tubes; preferably, the condenser tubes and heat sinks arranged in sequence are arranged horizontally.

[0051] Understandably, the fan can also be directly fixed to the condenser with screws; or, the fan can also be fixedly connected to the condenser through a left and right snap-on plate structure.

[0052] Understandably, the fan can also be directly fixed to the bottom cover without being assembled with the condenser, so that the fan can dissipate heat to the condenser and compressor more evenly.

[0053] Understandably, the side panels can be formed by combining the front side panel, right side panel, left side panel, and rear side panel into a single unit according to the requirements of the snow melting machine product. For example, the front side panel and right side panel can be a single unit, and the left side panel and rear side panel can be a single unit; or, the left side panel, rear side panel, and right side panel can be set as a single unit; and, according to the shape requirements of the snow melting machine product, the side panels can also be set as arc-shaped, without having a clear front, rear, left, and right structural relationship, but only to meet the shape requirements of the snow melting machine product.

[0054] Example 2.

[0055] As a second embodiment of the compact snow melting machine described in this application, such as Figure 7 As shown, compared to Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the condenser tube is provided with a limiting groove, which is used to support and connect to the bottom cover and the support frame respectively. It should be noted that the specific Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 described are not intended to be completely independent of each other, but are merely for illustrating two preferred technical solutions. Furthermore, the technical features and solutions of the two embodiments are common and can be used for mutual reference.

[0056] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the condenser 4 includes two vertically extending first condenser tubes 41 and second condenser tubes 42, and heat sinks 44 connected to the first condenser tubes 41 and second condenser tubes 42. The heat sinks 44 include multiple layers of fins. The condenser 4 also includes a support plate 45 located between the multiple layers of fins. The support plate 45 is connected to the first condenser tubes 41 and second condenser tubes 42 respectively.

[0057] A first upper limit groove 411 is provided at the upper end of the first condenser tube 41, and a first lower limit groove (not shown in the figure) is provided at the lower end of the first condenser tube 41. A second upper limit groove 421 is provided at the upper end of the second condenser tube 42, and a second lower limit groove (not shown in the figure) is provided at the lower end of the second condenser tube 42.

[0058] The bottom cover is provided with a lower limiting post that inserts into the first lower limiting groove and the second lower limiting groove. When the condenser is installed on the bottom cover, it is directly supported by the first condenser pipe and the second condenser pipe. To ensure a reliable connection between the condenser and the bottom cover, screws can also be installed between the limiting groove and the limiting post for fixation. The support frame is provided with an upper limiting post that inserts into the first upper limiting groove 411 and the second upper limiting groove 421. When the support frame is installed on the condenser, it is directly supported by the first condenser pipe and the second condenser pipe. To ensure a reliable connection between the condenser and the support frame, screws can also be installed between the limiting groove and the limiting post for fixation.

[0059] By utilizing the insertion and connection of the limiting post and the limiting groove, the main force of the support frame is directly borne by the condenser tube, resulting in better load-bearing capacity of the condenser and the ability to withstand greater strength. Thus, by optimizing the volume of the condenser, the volume of the snow melting machine itself can be optimized, ultimately providing a compact snow melting machine product.

[0060] It is understandable that the condenser and the bottom cover, and the condenser and the support frame, can be positioned and fitted together solely by the limiting post and the limiting groove.

[0061] In the description of this application, it should be understood that directional terms such as "front," "back," "up," "down," "left," "right," "horizontal," "vertical," "horizontal," and "top," "bottom," etc., indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used 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 component referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application. The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself. For example, in this application, "front" and "back" are usually determined by the user's position when operating the snow melting machine product. The side where the user directly operates the snow melting machine is the front side of the snow melting machine, while the side of the snow melting machine away from the user when placed is the rear side of the snow melting machine.

[0062] 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.

[0063] 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.

[0064] 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.
