[0029] See Figures 1 to 3The present invention discloses a housing assembly for a vertical frozen food manufacturing equipment, comprising: a first half-shell 100 and a second half-shell 200 extending vertically, wherein the side edges of the first half-shell 100 and the second half-shell 200 are connected, the inner side wall of the first half-shell 100 is provided with an upwardly extending vertical plate 300, the upper end of the vertical plate 300 is connected to a side extension plate 310 extending from the side of the first half-shell 100 and abutting against the upper end of the first half-shell 100, the side extension plate 310 is used to install a functional component extending downward relative to it, the upper part of the second half-shell 200 is provided with a side extension shell 400 covering the side extension plate 310, and the first half-shell 100, the vertical plate 300 and the side extension plate 310 form a double-layer support frame.
[0030] The shell assembly of the above-mentioned vertical frozen food manufacturing equipment consists of a vertical plate 300 and a side extension plate 310 mounted on the inner side of the first half-shell 100. The first half-shell 100, the vertical plate 300, and the side extension plate 310 form a double-layer support frame. When the functional components on the side extension plate 310 apply gravitational torque and working vibration to the first half-shell 100, the support frame can prevent the first half-shell 100 and the vertical plate 300 from twisting and deforming. Moreover, the upper end of the first half-shell 100 is supported by the side extension plate 310, which helps to reduce the gravitational lever arm of the functional components acting on the shell assembly, improves the structural strength of the shell assembly, and prevents twisting and deformation, thereby improving the working stability of the vertical frozen food manufacturing equipment. The vertical plate 300 and the side extension plate 310 are injection-molded parts or sheet metal parts with an integral structure. The space enclosed between the side extension shell 400 and the side extension plate 310 is used to accommodate some parts of the functional components, such as the drive motor of the stirring mechanism. Understandably, when the side extension plate 310 is subjected to the gravity of the functional component and has a tendency to flexibly deform, the side extension plate 310 abuts against the upper end of the first half shell 100, thereby moving the fulcrum position forward from the boundary line between the vertical plate 300 and the side extension plate 310, thereby reducing the gravitational lever arm of the functional component acting on the shell assembly.
[0031] See Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments of this utility model, the width of the vertical plate 300 and the side extension plate 310 are continuously consistent with the width of the first half-shell 100. The vertical plate 300 is parallel to the inner wall of the first half-shell 100. The inner wall of the first half-shell 100 is provided with a support plate 110 that extends horizontally toward the second half-shell 200 and is supported at the lower end of the vertical plate 300. The support plate 110 and the lower end of the vertical plate 300, and the upper end of the first half-shell 100 and the side extension plate 310 are all connected by fastening screws. This structure forms a flat, rectangular support frame, making it difficult for the support frame to twist or deform, achieving high mechanical strength with low material costs. Furthermore, the fact that the width of the vertical plate 300 and the side extension plate 310 are continuously consistent with the width of the first half-shell 100 ensures that the overall thickness of the shell assembly is the same, making it more aesthetically pleasing and practical.
[0032] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the upper surface of the support plate 110 is provided with a plurality of positioning plates 120 spaced apart along its width direction. The lower end of the vertical plate 300 is provided with a plurality of downward-facing slots 320 corresponding one-to-one with the positioning plates 120. The positioning plates 120 are provided with a first stop surface 121 and a second stop surface 122 for respectively abutting against the two side surfaces of the vertical plate 300. The support plate 110 is provided with a first through hole 130. The lower end of the vertical plate 300 is provided with a first threaded post 330 opposite to the first through hole 130. The fastening screw passes through the first through hole 130 to be tightened onto the first threaded post 330. The above structure realizes the connection and fixation between the vertical plate 300 and the first half shell 100, avoiding deformation or displacement of the vertical plate 300 relative to the first half shell 100, which would affect the structural reliability of the support frame. At the same time, it can also improve assembly efficiency and reduce the use of a large number of fastening screws.
[0033] To achieve a secure connection between the first half-shell 100 and the side extension plate 310, and to prevent deformation or displacement of the first half-shell 100 relative to the side extension plate 310 that could affect the structural reliability of the support frame, while also maximizing assembly efficiency, see [reference needed]. Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the upper end of the first half shell 100 is provided with a protruding plate portion 140, the lower surface of the side extension plate 310 is formed with a positioning groove for the protruding plate portion 140 to be inserted, the side extension plate 310 is provided with a second through hole 340, the upper end of the first half shell 100 is provided with a second threaded post 150 opposite to the second through hole 340, and the fastening screw is passed through the second through hole 340 to be tightened to the second threaded post 150.
[0034] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the upper side of the vertical plate 300 is provided with multiple supporting ribs 350 that abut against the inner wall of the first half-shell 100. It is understood that the interior of the support frame is a hollow structure, and when the vertical dimension of the support frame is large, insufficient mechanical strength may occur. Using supporting ribs 350 abutting against the inner wall of the vertical plate 300 and the first half-shell 100 can improve this problem.
[0035] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the upper part of the support rib 350 is formed at the joint between the side extension plate 310 and the vertical plate 300, and the lower end of the support rib 350 extends downward along the length direction of the vertical plate 300 and is located within the support frame. It should be noted that the support rib 350 located at the joint between the side extension plate 310 and the vertical plate 300 can also serve as a reinforcing rib, helping to prevent the side extension plate 310 from bending and deforming downward relative to the vertical plate 300.
[0036] See Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the upper surface of the side extension plate 310 near the first half-shell 100 is provided with an upwardly extending support column 360, which abuts against the inner top wall of the side extension shell 400. It should be noted that when the side extension plate 310 is subjected to the gravity of the functional components and tends to bend downwards, the side extension shell 400 can also suppress the downward bending deformation of the side extension plate 310. However, the side extension shell 400 also tends to bend downwards. The side extension shell 400 and the side extension plate 310 form a frame, and the support column 360 can support the interior of this frame, improving the bending resistance of the frame.
[0037] See Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the side extension shell 400 is provided with a "U"-shaped mounting frame 410 at one end near the second half-shell 200. The mounting frame 410 is embedded in the upper inner sidewall of the second half-shell 200. The mounting frame 410 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 420 and positioning slots 430 at intervals along its extension direction. The inner sidewall of the second half-shell 200 is formed with a plurality of positioning protrusions 210 that match the positioning holes 420 and elastic fasteners 220 that match the positioning slots 430. It can be understood that assembling the side extension shell 400 and the second half-shell 200 after processing them separately helps to reduce the difficulty of manufacturing. The use of multiple positioning holes 420 and positioning protrusions 210 and multiple positioning slots 430 and elastic fasteners 220 helps to simplify the assembly process of the side extension shell 400 and the second half-shell 200 and improve the assembly efficiency.
[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, in order to facilitate the assembly between the side extension shell 400 and the side extension plate 310, the end of the side extension shell 400 away from the second half shell 200 is connected to the end of the side extension plate 310 by a snap-fit structure, and the two sides of the side extension shell 400 in the width direction are connected to the two sides of the side extension plate 310 by a threaded structure.
[0039] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, the first half-shell 100 has a first opening facing the second half-shell 200. Both side walls of the first opening are provided with a plurality of hook grooves 160 spaced apart in a vertical direction. The second half-shell 200 has a second opening facing the first half-shell 100. Both side walls of the second opening are provided with hook portions 230 corresponding one-to-one with the hook grooves 160. The lower ends of both the first half-shell 100 and the second half-shell 200 are threadedly connected to the base plate. It should be noted that both the first half-shell 100 and the second half-shell 200 are connected to the base plate. The first half-shell 100 and the second half-shell 200 are relatively positioned relative to each other by the cooperation of the hook portions 230 and the hook grooves 160, thereby improving assembly efficiency.
[0040] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
