Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigeration equipment technology, and in particular to a heat exchange system for a snow melting machine. Background Technology
[0002] The principle of a snow melting machine is to use a refrigeration system to turn liquid water into ice, and then use a knife to shave the ice into snowflakes, which can produce fine shaved ice and snowflake ice. Existing snow melting machines are equipped with a heat exchange system, which uses the heat exchange system to make shaved ice from the water inside the snow melting machine. However, this type of heat exchange system uses a compressor pump, which has higher overall energy consumption and production costs, and is gradually unable to meet the growing user demand. Publication number CN119054766A discloses a snow melting machine, including a fixing assembly, a surrounding plate assembly, a stirring assembly, a refrigeration assembly, and a discharging assembly. The stirring assembly includes a support frame and a stirring mechanism mounted on the support frame. The stirring mechanism includes a protective cover, a drive motor, and a scraper. The refrigeration assembly includes an evaporator. The discharging assembly includes a storage hood and a discharging cylinder. The storage hood is horizontally positioned and has a storage chamber inside. The discharging cylinder is vertically positioned and communicates with the storage chamber. The storage hood is fixed to the support frame. The evaporator and the scraper are located within the storage chamber. The storage hood has a feed inlet, and a feed baffle is located below the feed inlet. The feed baffle has elongated feed holes. This snow melting machine uses a compression pump, resulting in higher overall energy consumption and higher cost. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a lower-cost heat exchange system for snow melting machines.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution: a heat exchange system for a snow melting machine, comprising a first heat exchange cup, a second heat exchange cup, a delivery pump, and a cooler disposed within the snow melting machine. The first heat exchange cup is hollow and forms a first heat exchange chamber. The second heat exchange cup is located within the first heat exchange chamber. A first interlayer is disposed inside the side wall of the first heat exchange cup, and the first interlayer stores refrigerant. The second heat exchange cup is hollow and forms a second heat exchange chamber. A second interlayer is disposed inside the side wall of the second heat exchange cup, and the second interlayer stores refrigerant. The second interlayer is connected to the delivery pump and the cooler, respectively. The cooler is connected to the delivery pump, and the delivery pump is used to transport the refrigerant back and forth between the cooler and the second interlayer.
[0005] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: low overall energy consumption. This heat exchange system is configured with a first heat exchange cup, a second heat exchange cup, and a delivery pump. The first heat exchange cup has a first interlayer, and the second heat exchange cup has a second interlayer. The refrigerants in the first and second interlayers work together to condense the water entering the first and second heat exchange chambers into ice, which can then be used to make slush. The delivery pump then delivers the refrigerant in the second interlayer to the refrigerator to exchange heat with the refrigerant after it has absorbed heat in the second interlayer. The refrigerant after heat exchange is then delivered back to the second interlayer by the delivery pump, keeping the refrigerant in the second interlayer at a set temperature to ensure the overall cooling effect. Compared with traditional heat exchange systems, this system reduces the compressor, lowers overall energy consumption, and uses refrigerants and other cold media to make slush. It is more economical than using a compressor, achieving the same functional requirements at a lower cost. It can also be extended to vehicle use, further expanding the application scenarios of snow melting machines.
[0006] Furthermore, the snow melting machine is equipped with multiple cooling fans, each positioned directly opposite the delivery pump. This structure allows for cooling of the delivery pump, reducing the impact of the high-temperature pump on the refrigerant.
[0007] Furthermore, the front end of the second interlayer is connected to a first conveying pipe, the first conveying pipe is connected to a conveying pump, and the rear end of the second interlayer is connected to a second conveying pipe.
[0008] Furthermore, the cooler includes cooling plates and multiple heat exchangers, which are arranged sequentially at intervals. Each cooling plate is attached to one of the multiple heat exchangers in a corresponding manner, and each heat exchanger is connected to a first delivery pipe and a delivery pump.
[0009] Furthermore, the heat exchanger is provided with a feed inlet and a discharge outlet, the first conveying pipe is connected to multiple feed inlets, and the conveying pump is connected to multiple discharge outlets.
[0010] Furthermore, the first conveying pipe is connected to multiple inlets, and the conveying pump is connected to multiple outlets, respectively.
[0011] Furthermore, the cooler also includes a power source, and the plurality of cooling chips are respectively connected to the power source.
[0012] Furthermore, a feeding port is provided at the top of the first heat exchange cup, and a discharge port is provided on the side wall of the first heat exchange cup. The feeding port and the discharge port are respectively connected to the first heat exchange chamber. With the above structure, this invention enables the input of water and the output of smoothies.

[0019] See appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 As shown, a heat exchange system for a snow melting machine includes a first heat exchange cup 1, a second heat exchange cup 2, a delivery pump 3, and a cooler, all disposed within the snow melting machine. The first heat exchange cup 1 is hollow and forms a first heat exchange chamber 11. The second heat exchange cup 2 is located within the first heat exchange chamber 11. A first interlayer 12 is disposed inside the side wall of the first heat exchange cup 1, and refrigerant is stored in the first interlayer 12. The second heat exchange cup 2 is hollow and forms a second heat exchange chamber 21. A second interlayer 22 is disposed inside the side wall of the second heat exchange cup 2, and refrigerant is stored in the second interlayer 22. The second interlayer 22 is connected to the delivery pump 3 and the cooler, respectively. The cooler is connected to the delivery pump 3, and the delivery pump 3 is used to transport the refrigerant back and forth between the cooler and the second interlayer 22.
[0020] In this embodiment, the snow melting machine is equipped with multiple cooling fans, each of which faces the delivery pump 3.
[0021] In this embodiment, the front end of the second interlayer 22 is connected to the first conveying pipe 23, the first conveying pipe 23 is connected to the conveying pump 3, and the rear end of the second interlayer 22 is connected to the second conveying pipe 24.
[0022] In this embodiment, the cooler includes cooling chips 41, multiple heat exchangers 42, and a power supply 43. The multiple heat exchangers 42 are arranged sequentially at intervals, and the multiple cooling chips 41 are respectively attached to the multiple heat exchangers 42. The multiple heat exchangers 42 are respectively connected to the first conveying pipe 23 and the conveying pump 3. The heat exchangers 42 are provided with inlet 421 and outlet 422.

[0025] In this embodiment, the specific heat exchange process is as follows: First, water is added to the first heat exchange cup 1 through the feeding port 13. Then, the power supply 43 and the delivery pump 3 are started. The power supply 43 works to supply power to multiple cooling chips 41, so that the multiple cooling chips 41 work to exchange heat with the refrigerant in the heat exchanger 42, so that the refrigerant output from the heat exchanger 42 is kept below the set temperature value. After the refrigerant is output from the outlet 422 of the heat exchanger 42, it enters the connector 423, mixes with the refrigerant output from other heat exchangers 42, and is then delivered to the delivery pump 3. The delivery pump 3 delivers the refrigerant through the second delivery pipe 24 to the second jacket 22 of the second heat exchange cup 2, so that the refrigerant in the first jacket 12 of the first heat exchange cup 1 and the refrigerant in the second jacket 22 of the second heat exchange cup 2 cooperate to condense the water input through the feeding port 13 into ice in the first heat exchange chamber 11 and the second heat exchange chamber 21 respectively, so as to facilitate the subsequent production of shaved ice. After the shaved ice is produced, it is output through the discharge port 14.
[0026] After absorbing heat in the second interlayer 22, the refrigerant is transported to the first conveying pipe 23, and then transported to the inlet 421 of multiple heat exchangers 42 through the connector 423. It then enters the heat exchanger 42 to release heat and maintain the refrigerant at the set temperature value.
