Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice maker technology, specifically to a liquid replenishment structure for a snowflake machine. Background Technology

[0002] One type of ice maker is called a snow shaved ice machine (also known as a shaved ice machine). For example, the heat transfer type shaved ice machine with authorization announcement number CN213931594U includes a water tank, a hollow rotating drum, a compressor, and a scraper. The hollow rotating drum is located above the water tank, and the scraper is located below the hollow rotating drum. A sealed chamber is installed inside the hollow rotating drum. A hollow shaft is welded to each end of the sealed chamber, coaxial with the hollow rotating drum and extending to the outside. The hollow rotating drum is filled with low-temperature heat transfer oil. The hollow shaft has a refrigerant inlet pipe and a refrigerant return pipe connecting the sealed chamber and the compressor.

[0003] As mentioned above, the liquid level in the water tank drops due to freezing during the continuous operation of the hollow rotating drum. Therefore, how to conveniently replenish the liquid while maintaining a simple structure becomes a technical challenge. This application proposes a liquid replenishment structure for a snow machine that is convenient for users to replenish the liquid and has a relatively simple structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a liquid replenishment structure for a snow machine, which is convenient for users to replenish liquid and has a relatively simple structure.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a liquid replenishment structure for a snow machine, including a liquid receiving tray for cooperating with the ice-making roller of the snow machine, the liquid receiving tray is equipped with a liftable float, the float is equipped with a plug, and also includes a liquid supply box with a liquid filling port, the liquid filling port is equipped with an openable cover or not with a cover, the lower side of the liquid supply box is provided with a liquid supply outlet located above the plug, the liquid flows into the liquid receiving tray through the liquid supply outlet, the liquid in the liquid receiving tray causes the float to rise, the rise of the float causes the plug to rise, when the liquid level in the liquid receiving tray reaches a set value, the plug blocks the liquid supply outlet, when the liquid level in the liquid receiving tray is lower than the set value, the plug opens the liquid supply outlet to allow the liquid to flow into the liquid receiving tray through the liquid supply outlet.

[0006] With the above structure, this utility model has the following advantages: The liquid replenishment structure disclosed herein includes a liquid supply box and a liquid receiving tray. The liquid supply box replenishes the liquid receiving tray. The liquid in the receiving tray causes a float to rise, which in turn causes a plug to rise. When the liquid level in the receiving tray reaches a set value, the plug blocks the liquid supply outlet. When the liquid level in the receiving tray falls below the set value, the plug opens the liquid supply outlet, allowing liquid to flow into the receiving tray through the liquid supply outlet. The liquid supply box is equipped with a filling port, through which the user adds liquid. This not only makes it convenient for the user to add liquid, for example, without disassembling the liquid supply box, but also eliminates concerns about the state of the receiving tray while adding liquid to the supply box, as the float determines whether the receiving tray needs replenishment. The liquid supply outlet will not leak due to adding liquid to the supply box, and the receiving tray will not overflow. In summary, this disclosure provides convenient liquid replenishment for users and has a relatively simple structure.

[0007] In some embodiments, the float includes a pendulum and a float body, the float body being disposed at the end of the pendulum near the ice-making drum, the end of the pendulum away from the ice-making drum being configured as a rotatable end, and a plug being disposed on the pendulum.

[0008] In some embodiments, the end of the lever furthest from the ice-making drum is rotatably connected to the drip tray.

[0009] In some embodiments, the drip tray can be removed for cleaning, and the float is removed and placed together with the drip tray when the drip tray is removed or placed.

[0010] In some embodiments, the drip tray includes a horizontally arranged tray body and a vertically arranged handle, the main body of the float is located in the tray body, and the end of the swing rod away from the ice-making drum is hinged to the handle.

[0011] In some embodiments, the float is located on the rear side of the ice-making drum.

[0012] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the receiving tray is designed to be recessed at the ice-making drum to form a liquid-containing area. The liquid-containing area is the lowest point of the receiving tray, and the liquid from other areas of the receiving tray flows to the liquid-containing area.

[0013] In some embodiments, a sealing ring is provided for the blocked head and / or the liquid supply outlet.

[0014] In some embodiments, a filling port is provided on the upper side of the liquid supply box. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To better understand this application, various aspects of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these detailed descriptions are merely illustrative of exemplary embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application in any way. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this disclosure proposes a liquid replenishment structure for a snow machine, including a liquid receiving tray 2 for cooperating with the ice-making roller 1 of the snow machine. The liquid receiving tray 2 is provided with a liftable float 3, and the float 3 is provided with a plug 4. It also includes a liquid supply box 14 with a liquid filling port 17. The liquid filling port 17 is provided with an openable cover 18 or without a cover 18. A liquid supply outlet 5 is provided on the lower side of the liquid supply box 14, located above the plug 4. Liquid flows into the liquid receiving tray 2 through the liquid supply outlet 5. The liquid in the liquid receiving tray 2 causes the float 3 to rise. The rise of the float 3 causes the plug 4 to rise. When the liquid level in the liquid receiving tray 2 reaches a set value, the plug 4 blocks the liquid supply outlet 5. When the liquid level in the liquid receiving tray 2 is lower than the set value, the plug 4 opens the liquid supply outlet 5 to allow liquid to flow into the liquid receiving tray 2 through the liquid supply outlet 5.

[0025] like Figure 6 As shown, at this time, the blockage 4 blocks the liquid supply outlet 5. When the liquid level drops, the liquid supply outlet 5 is immediately opened, and the liquid flows into the receiving tray 2, causing the liquid level to rise again.

[0026] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, a liquid inlet 17 is provided on the upper side of the liquid supply box 14. This makes it convenient for the user to add liquid.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a cover 18. When the user opens the cover 18, the liquid filling port 17 is exposed. The cover 18 can effectively prevent foreign objects from falling into the liquid supply box 14.

[0028] In this example, as Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figure 6, the float 3 includes a rocker arm 15 and a float body 16. The float body 16 is located at the end of the rocker arm 15 near the ice-making drum 1, and the end of the rocker arm 15 away from the ice-making drum 1 is a rotatable end. The plug 4 is located on the rocker arm 15. In this way, the rocker arm 15 and the float body 16 can be made of different materials, which is beneficial to obtain a float 3 with small volume and large buoyancy. In addition, with this design, the upward force of the float body 16 is sufficient to block the liquid supply outlet 5 with the plug 4, making it less likely to leak.

[0029] Although this example uses a swingable float 3, it is not limited to this structure. Any float 3 that is applicable to this disclosure can be applied to this disclosure.

[0030] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , 6 As shown, the end of the swing arm 15 furthest from the ice-making drum 1 is rotatably connected to the drip tray 2. This allows the float 3 to be mounted on the drip tray 2 as a single unit.

[0031] Furthermore, the receiving tray 2 can be removed for cleaning, and the float 3 is removed and placed along with the receiving tray 2 when it is removed or placed. In this way, since the float 3 is installed on the receiving tray 2 as a component, the float 3 can be removed and placed along with the receiving tray 2 when it is removed or placed, which is more convenient and easier to use.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , 6 As shown, the drip tray 2 includes a horizontally arranged tray body 6 and a vertically arranged handle 7. The main body of the float 3 is located in the tray body 6, and the end of the float 3 away from the ice-making roller 1 is hinged to the handle 7. In this way, the drip tray 2 can be more easily removed through the handle 7. In addition, the hinged end of the float 3 away from the ice-making roller 1 is conducive to the integrity of the tray body 6.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 , 7 As shown, float 3 is located behind ice-making drum 1. In this way, float 3 and ice-making drum 1 will not interfere with each other.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 7As shown, the bottom surface of the receiving tray 2 is designed to sink at the ice-making drum 1, forming a liquid-containing area 8. This liquid-containing area 8 is the lowest point of the receiving tray 2, and liquid from other areas of the receiving tray 2 flows into it. This facilitates the formation of the liquid-containing area 8 and provides sufficient liquid to the ice-making drum 1. In this example, as can be seen from the attached diagram, the bottom surface of the receiving tray 2 is sloped gently in the liquid-containing area 8 to form it. The liquid-containing area 8 can adequately accommodate a portion of the ice-making drum 1 without affecting the operation of the float 3.

[0035] In particular, the technical solution of setting up the liquid holding area 8 has additional technical effects. When the liquid level drops, on the one hand, the liquid holding area 8 can still provide sufficient liquid for the ice making drum 1 to use, so that the ice making drum 1 can work normally. At this time, the float 3 has already descended to the position and can replenish the liquid in time, thus ensuring the continuous and reliable operation of the ice making drum 1. On the other hand, the liquid holding area 8 is located at the lowest point, which is conducive to the inflow of liquid. Therefore, the bottom surface of the liquid receiving tray 2 at the part corresponding to the float 3 is less likely to accumulate liquid, which would prevent the float 3 from descending in time.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the liquid supply outlet 5 includes a liquid outlet hole 9, an inlet area 10 located above the liquid outlet hole 9, and a liquid outlet area 11 located below the liquid outlet hole 9. The diameter of the inlet area 10 is larger than the diameter of the liquid outlet hole 9. The liquid outlet area 11 is fitted with the plug 4 at intervals, and the diameter of the liquid outlet area 11 is larger than the diameter of the liquid outlet hole 9. The head 12 of the plug 4 is fitted with the liquid outlet hole 9. In this way, the different diameter settings are conducive to a higher flow velocity in the liquid outlet hole 9 for rapid liquid discharge, while the liquid outlet area 11 buffers and guides the liquid, thereby reducing the impact when the liquid flows in. At the same time, the liquid can be guided along the intervals between the plug 4 and the liquid outlet area 11 and flow smoothly into the receiving tray 2.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, a sealing ring 13 is provided on the head 12 of the plug 4 and / or the outlet hole 9. This better seals the outlet hole 9.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the depth of the drip tray 2 is set to a shallow depth, which is less than the radius of the ice-making roller 1. The liquid supply box replenishes the drip tray 2. In this way, the liquid supply box can hold more liquid, so the drip tray 2 can be made shallower, which helps to reduce the volume of the drip tray 2, making it easier for the factory to manufacture and assemble and / or for the user to put the drip tray 2 away. At the same time, it also achieves the purpose of continuously supplying liquid to the drip tray 2.

[0039] When understanding this utility model, the above structure may be referred to other embodiments / appendices if necessary. Figure 1 And that's understood, so I won't go into details here.

[0040] The above description is merely an illustrative embodiment of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features, and principles described in the scope of protection of this utility model are included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
