Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigeration equipment technology, and in particular to a snow melting machine for preventing clogging. Background Technology

[0002] Snow melting machines are a new type of commercial cold drink machinery developed in recent years. They are classified into single-cylinder, double-cylinder, and triple-cylinder types according to the number of cylinders, and are mainly used in catering scenarios such as cold drink shops, cafes, and hotels.

[0003] A Chinese patent with publication number CN119642468A discloses a high-efficiency horizontal snow melting machine, including an outer shell, an ice-making component, an ice-discharging component, and a refrigeration system. The ice-making component includes an ice-making shell, an ice-making cup, an ice scraper, and a synchronous motor. The ice-making shell is located on the top of the outer shell. The snow melting machine uses a water storage chamber to supply water to the ice-making shell, and then uses a refrigeration system to cool the water in the ice-making shell to form ice. The ice is then converted into slush by the ice-making cup, ice scraper, and synchronous motor of the ice-making component, and finally the slush is output through the ice-discharging component.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned snow melting machine has the following disadvantages: the ice melting machine lacks a pressing structure inside the ice maker's shell, and the ice shavings are not easily pressed down when pushed to the top of the ice maker, causing the ice shavings to accumulate at the front of the ice maker's shell, which prevents the product from being fully mixed and discharged quickly. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a snow melting machine that prevents material blockage, which has the effect of thorough mixing through a pressing structure during the preparation of cold products, and rapid material discharge.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a snow melting machine with anti-clogging properties, comprising a snow melting machine body, a material barrel and a discharge assembly on the snow melting machine body, the material barrel having an inlet and a outlet, the outlet having an outlet, the discharge assembly being disposed within the outlet, an evaporator being disposed within the material barrel, stirring blades being sleeved around the evaporator, the material barrel having a pressing structure, the pressing structure including a first pressing part, the material barrel including a top pressing plane and a side pressing plane, the first pressing part being disposed between the top pressing plane and the side pressing plane, the first pressing part having an inner concave portion and an arc-shaped transition section, the inner concave portion being connected to the top pressing plane, the arc-shaped transition section being disposed between the inner concave portion and the side pressing plane; the material barrel having a scraping structure, the scraping structure including scraping ribs, the scraping ribs being disposed on the inner wall of the material barrel near the outlet.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the user adds material through the inlet, and the product is made into a cold product under the cooling action of the evaporator. The product is stirred by the stirring blades and pushed to the outlet. Due to the large space above the evaporator, the cold product is easy to remain on the inner wall of the material barrel under the action of the stirring blades. When the snow melting machine is used, the cold product is pushed between the top and side surfaces of the inner wall of the material barrel. Since the first pressing part has a concave part that is recessed into the inside of the material barrel, when the cold product is pushed to the concave part along the arc transition section, the first pressing part presses the cold product rolling in the material barrel downward, which facilitates the thorough mixing of the cold product in the upper and lower areas of the material barrel. At the same time, scraping ribs are provided on the inner wall of the material barrel to scrape the cold product near the outlet, which makes it easier for the stirring blades to push the cold product to the outlet, thus improving the discharge efficiency.

[0008] A further feature of this invention is that the pressing structure further includes a second pressing part, which is inclinedly disposed at the front end of the material barrel and arranged along the width direction of the material barrel.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cold products roll in the material barrel, the second pressing part causes the cold products to move downward and backward in the material barrel, which facilitates the mixing of cold products in the front and rear areas and the longitudinal area in the material barrel.

[0010] A further feature of this invention is that the inclination angle α of the second pressing part relative to the top pressing plane is 30-40 degrees.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the insufficient mixing caused by the excessively large or small angle of the second pressing section during the mixing process is avoided, which facilitates the full mixing of the cold products in the front and rear areas and the upper and lower areas of the material barrel.

[0012] A further feature of this invention is that the pressing structure further includes a third pressing part, the third pressing part being arc-shaped, and one side of the third pressing part being connected to the first pressing part, and the other side of the third pressing part being connected to the second pressing part.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, during the mixing process, the cold products rolling in the bucket are pressed inward and downward at an angle, preventing the cold products from remaining on the inner wall of the bucket, further improving the fullness of mixing of the cold products in the bucket, thereby improving the smoothness of subsequent discharge and facilitating discharge.

[0014] A further feature of this invention is that the diameter of the scraper rib is 1 mm.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to prevent the diameter of the scraping ribs from being too large, which would cause excessive resistance during scraping and affect the normal operation of the mixing blades. At the same time, it is also possible to prevent the diameter of the scraping ribs from being too small, which would cause insufficient scraping and reduce scraping efficiency.

[0016] A further feature of this invention is that a stepped hole is provided near the discharge port of the discharge nozzle, and the opening diameter at the upper end of the stepped hole is smaller than the opening diameter at the lower end of the stepped hole.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when cold products are discharged, they are discharged from the upper end of the stepped hole with a smaller opening diameter to the lower end of the stepped hole with a larger opening diameter, which prevents the discharge nozzle from being blocked during discharge, improves the smoothness of the discharge nozzle, and improves the discharge efficiency.

[0018] A further feature of this invention is that the discharge assembly includes a discharge valve and an operating handle, the discharge nozzle has an installation hole, a pin is detachably installed in the installation hole, the operating handle is detachably installed in the discharge nozzle via the pin, and the operating handle is rotatably engaged with the discharge nozzle.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the operating handle is detachable, making it convenient for users to remove the operating handle for daily cleaning.

[0020] A further feature of this invention is that: a discharge channel is provided inside the discharge nozzle, the discharge valve is slidably engaged with the discharge channel, a drive end is provided at the end of the operating handle, a drive groove is provided on the discharge valve corresponding to the drive end, the drive end is inserted into the drive groove, and the drive end is provided with a circular contact surface, and the operating handle drives the discharge valve to slide up and down through the drive end.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the user presses down the operating handle, the circular contact surface of the drive end abuts against the upper wall of the drive groove and drives the discharge valve to slide upward. At this time, the discharge nozzle is connected to the inside of the material barrel, and the cold products are discharged through the discharge port. When the operating handle is reset, the circular contact surface abuts against the lower wall of the drive groove, the discharge channel is closed and the discharge stops. In addition, the circular contact surface reduces the friction between the operating handle and the discharge valve, improves the smoothness of operation, and facilitates user operation.

[0022] A further feature of this invention is that a torsion spring is provided between the operating handle and the discharge nozzle, and the torsion spring has a tendency to drive the operating handle to rotate and reset.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, after the material is discharged by pressing down the operating handle, the operating handle is automatically reset by the torsion spring, which prevents users from forgetting to reset the operating handle after using it, thus avoiding waste of resources.

[0024] A further feature of this invention is that the discharge valve is provided with at least two sealing elements, the discharge valve is sealed to the discharge channel through the sealing elements, and the cross-sectional shape of the sealing elements is double V-shaped, so that each sealing element has two sealing contact positions with the discharge channel.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the discharge valve and the discharge channel are sealed by at least two sealing elements, which improves the sealing performance. The double V-shaped cross-section of the sealing elements further improves the sealing performance and prevents leakage between the discharge valve and the discharge channel.

[0026] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. The design incorporates a first pressing section, a second pressing section, and a third pressing section on the material barrel, which facilitates thorough mixing of the cold products inside the barrel and makes discharging easier.

[0027] 2. By using scraping ribs on the inner wall of the barrel, it is easier to scrape the cold products to the discharge nozzle, thereby facilitating discharge and improving discharge efficiency.

[0028] 3. The design incorporates stepped holes inside the discharge nozzle, which facilitates material discharge and prevents cold products from clogging at the discharge nozzle. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] A snow melting machine with anti-clogging material, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 5, the machine includes a snow melting machine body 1, a material tank 2, and a discharge assembly 3. The material tank 2 has a material inlet 21 and a discharge nozzle 22. The discharge nozzle 22 has a discharge outlet 221. An evaporator 23 is installed inside the material tank 2. Stirring blades 24 for stirring and pushing the material are provided on the outer periphery of the evaporator 23. By adding material into the material tank 2 through the material inlet 21, the material is refrigerated by the evaporator 23 to form a cold product. The stirring blades 24 stir the material and push it to the discharge nozzle 22. Material is discharged from outlet 221. The material barrel 2 is equipped with a pressing structure 4, which includes a first pressing part 41 located between the top pressing plane 25 and the side pressing plane 26. The first pressing part 41 has a concave part 411 and an arc-shaped transition section 412. The concave part 411 is connected to the top pressing plane 25, and the arc-shaped transition section 412 is located between the concave part 411 and the pressing plane. When the stirring blade 24 rotates the cold product inside the material barrel 2, the cold product is pushed between the top surface and the side surface of the inner wall of the material barrel 2. The material is pushed along the arc-shaped transition section 412 of the first pressing part 41 to the concave part 411 of the first pressing part 41. The concave part 411 is recessed towards the inside of the material barrel 2, so that when the cold product is pushed to the concave part 411, it is subjected to downward pressure, which facilitates the thorough mixing of the cold products in the upper and lower areas of the material barrel 2 and improves product quality. In addition, the material barrel 2 is provided with a scraping structure, which includes a scraping rib 5. The scraping rib 5 is located on the inner wall of the material barrel 2 near the discharge port 221. The diameter of the scraping rib 5 is 1 cm. When the diameter of the rib 5 is too large, it will cause excessive resistance during scraping, affecting the normal operation of the mixing blade 24. When the diameter of the scraping rib 5 is too small, it will easily cause insufficient scraping and reduce scraping efficiency. When the cold product is pushed to the scraping rib 5, the cold product is scraped off and piled up near the discharge port 221 to prevent the cold product from being difficult to discharge when the zero point is too large. Under the axial pushing action of the mixing blade 24, the product is pushed out, which solves the problem that the first cup of cold product is easy to carry water when using the snow melting machine, making it easier to discharge and improving discharge efficiency.

[0039] like Figure 1 , 3As shown in Figure 4, in this embodiment, the pressing structure 4 further includes a second pressing part 42 and a third pressing part 43. The second pressing part 42 is inclinedly disposed at the front end of the material barrel 2, that is, at the end of the material barrel 2 near the discharge nozzle 22, and the second pressing part 42 forms an inclination angle α of 30°-40° relative to the top pressing plane 25. The third pressing part 43 is arc-shaped, and one side of the third pressing part 43 is connected to the first pressing part 41, and the other side of the third pressing part 43 is connected to the second pressing part 42. When the cold product rolls in the material barrel 2, the second pressing part 42 causes the cold product to roll towards the material barrel 2. The movement of the material barrel 2 downwards and backwards facilitates the mixing of cold products in the front and rear areas and the longitudinal area within the material barrel 2, and avoids insufficient mixing caused by the stirring blades 24 due to the angle of the second pressing part 42 being too large or too small during the mixing process. This facilitates the full mixing of cold products in the front and rear areas and the upper and lower areas within the material barrel 2. The third pressing part 43 facilitates the oblique mixing of cold products within the material barrel 2. Under the combined action of the first pressing part 41, the second pressing part 42, and the third pressing part 43, the cold products within the material barrel 2 are fully mixed, resulting in uniform product mixing and improving the quality and efficiency of cold product output.

[0040] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, in this embodiment, the discharge port 221 is opened at the lower end of the discharge nozzle 22, and the discharge nozzle 22 is provided with a stepped hole 222 near the discharge port 221. The opening diameter of the lower end of the stepped hole 222 is larger than that of the upper end of the stepped hole 222, so that the discharge nozzle 22 is less likely to be blocked when the cold product is discharged, thereby improving the discharge smoothness and thus improving the discharge efficiency.

[0041] like Figure 3 , 7As shown, in this embodiment, the discharge assembly 3 includes a discharge valve 31 and an operating handle 32. The discharge nozzle 22 has a mounting hole 223 and a discharge channel 225. The discharge valve 31 is slidably installed in the discharge channel 225. A pin 224 is detachably installed in the mounting hole 223, and the operating handle 32 is rotatably engaged with the discharge nozzle 22. The operating handle 32 controls the sliding of the discharge valve 31 and controls the product discharge. The end of the operating handle 32 is provided with a drive end 321, and the discharge valve 31 is provided with a drive groove 311 corresponding to the drive end 321. When the operating handle 32 is installed, the drive end 321 is inserted into the drive groove 311. When the user uses the operating handle 32, the operating handle 32 is installed in the discharge nozzle 22 through the pin 224. When discharge is required, the user presses down the upper end of the operating handle 32 to make the operating handle 32 move. Rotating along the pin 224, the upper part of the drive end 321 of the operating handle 32 abuts against the upper inner wall of the drive groove 311, driving the discharge valve 31 to slide upward, so that the inside of the material barrel 2 is connected with the discharge nozzle 22 to realize material discharge. When stopping material discharge, the lower part of the drive end 321 abuts against the lower inner wall of the discharge valve 31, driving the discharge valve 31 to slide downward, realizing the closure between the discharge nozzle 22 and the material barrel 2, stopping material discharge, and improving the user's convenience in controlling the material discharge. In addition, when the user needs to clean the discharge component 3, the operating handle 32 can be removed by pulling out the pin 224, which is convenient for the user to disassemble and clean. In addition, the drive end 321 is provided with a circular contact surface 322, which reduces the friction between the operating handle 32 and the discharge valve 31, improves the smoothness of operation, and makes it easier for the user to use the operating handle 32.

[0042] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, a torsion spring 6 is also provided between the operating handle 32 and the discharge nozzle 22. The fixed end of the torsion spring 6 is set on the operating handle 32, and the free end of the torsion spring 6 abuts against the discharge nozzle 22. Under the elastic force of the torsion spring 6, the operating handle 32 has a rotational tendency to rotate to a vertical state. After pressing down the operating handle 32 to complete the discharge, the torsion spring 6 realizes the automatic reset of the operating handle 32, preventing the user from forgetting to reset after using the operating handle and causing resource waste. In addition, the discharge valve 31 is provided with at least two sealing elements 312. The sealing elements 312 realize the sealing fit between the discharge valve 31 and the discharge channel 225. The cross-sectional shape of the sealing element 312 is double V-shaped, so that each sealing element 312 has two sealing contact positions with the discharge channel 225, thereby improving the sealing performance of the sealing element 312 and preventing leakage between the discharge valve 31 and the discharge channel 225.

[0043] The basic working principle of this utility model is as follows: The material barrel 2 includes a top pressing plane 25 and a side pressing plane 26. A first pressing part 41 is provided between the top pressing plane 25 and the side pressing plane 26. The first pressing part 41 has an inner concave part 411 and an arc-shaped transition section 412. A second pressing part 42 is provided at the front end of the top of the material barrel 2. A third pressing part 43 is provided between the first pressing part 41 and the second pressing part 42. Through the first pressing part 41, the second pressing part 42 and the third pressing part, the cold products are pressed down in different directions during the stirring and pushing process of the stirring blade 24 in the material barrel 2, which facilitates the full mixing of the cold products in the material barrel 2, improves the product quality, and makes it less likely to clog the material after full mixing, which facilitates the discharge. The material barrel 2 is provided with scraping ribs 5, which can cut and scrape the rolled and cooled cold products to the front end of the stirring blade 24 and close to the discharge nozzle 22, which facilitates the discharge of cold products, solves the problem of water in the first cup of the product prepared by the existing snow melting machine, and facilitates rapid discharge and improves the discharge efficiency.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
