Anti-tip vertical frozen food manufacturing apparatus

Abstract

This utility model discloses an anti-tipping vertical frozen food manufacturing device, comprising: a body extending vertically, a horizontally extending cantilever at the top of the body, a downwardly extending component for making frozen food on the cantilever, and a base at the bottom of the body. The base has an extended support extending horizontally from the side of the body to directly below the cantilever. The extended support and the component at least partially overlap vertically, and the distance by which the extended support protrudes from the side wall of the body is less than the distance by which the component protrudes from the side wall of the body. By adding an extended support extending horizontally to directly below the cantilever, the extended support and the base jointly support the device on a placement platform. The extended support reduces the overturning moment generated by the component and the cantilever on the body. Furthermore, the short protrusion of the extended support, while reserving space for a drip tray, does not affect the normal use of the vertical frozen food manufacturing device.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a vertical frozen food manufacturing equipment that prevents tipping. Background Technology

[0002] In existing vertical snow melting machine structures, the machine body typically adopts a vertical columnar layout, with the main functional components extending from the top of the machine body to the sides in a cantilevered manner. While this design can optimize space utilization to some extent, it also introduces significant structural stability issues. The base of the vertical snow melting machine is usually designed to be relatively small or have a limited area, resulting in a small effective contact area with the placement platform. This provides space for the water tray assembly, but the overall mass of the functional components—comprising the material tank, refrigeration evaporator, and stirring mechanism—extending from the side of the machine body is relatively large, and their center of gravity is far from the machine's centerline. This generates a large overturning moment around the base support point. This overturning moment significantly reduces the equipment's stability margin, leading to a high risk of tipping over when subjected to slight external forces, uneven ground, or vibrations during operation in real-world environments. This lack of stability not only affects user safety but may also damage the equipment itself and its internal components. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide a vertical frozen food manufacturing equipment that can reduce the tipping moment and prevent tipping.

[0004] A tilt-proof vertical frozen food manufacturing device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a body extending vertically, a horizontally extending cantilever portion at the top of the body, a downwardly extending manufacturing component for manufacturing frozen food at the cantilever portion, a base at the bottom of the body, the base having an extended support portion extending horizontally from the side of the body to directly below the cantilever portion, the extended support portion and the manufacturing component at least partially overlapping in the vertical direction, and the distance by which the extended support portion protrudes from the side wall of the body is less than the distance by which the manufacturing component protrudes from the side wall of the body.

[0005] The anti-tipping vertical frozen food manufacturing equipment according to the embodiments of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0006] The above-described vertical frozen food manufacturing equipment adds a horizontally extending support section to the base of the machine body, which extends directly below the overhang section. The extension support section and the base are used to support the machine body on the placement platform. The extension support section can reduce the overturning moment generated by the manufacturing components and the overhang section on the machine body. Moreover, the extension support section protrudes a short distance and reserves an area for placing a water collection tray, so it does not affect the normal use of the vertical frozen food manufacturing equipment.

[0007] In some embodiments of this utility model, the extended support portion is a flat plate formed on one side edge of the base. The lower end face of the flat plate is recessed with a downward-facing cavity. The flat plate forms a frame portion at the opening edge of the cavity. Multiple support ribs are spaced apart inside the cavity. Both the frame portion and the support ribs are used to contact and place the platform.

[0008] In some embodiments of this utility model, the upper surface of the flat plate is provided with a first reinforcing rib at the connection between the flat plate and the base.

[0009] In some embodiments of this utility model, the base is detachably connected to a water receiving tray located directly below the manufacturing component. The water receiving tray is provided with a receiving groove for the flat plate to extend into and retract. When the water receiving tray is connected to the base, it can shield the flat plate, and the distance by which the water receiving tray extends horizontally from the base is greater than the distance by which the flat plate extends horizontally from the base.

[0010] In some embodiments of this utility model, the side of the base connected to the flat plate has a wide plate extending horizontally to directly below the overhang. The width of the wide plate in the front-to-back direction is greater than the width of the flat plate in the front-to-back direction. The whole formed by the wide plate and the flat plate is convex in shape.

[0011] In some embodiments of this utility model, the base, the wide plate portion, and the flat plate are an integral plastic structure.

[0012] In some embodiments of this utility model, the extended support includes multiple long strips arranged at intervals along the length direction of one side edge of the base, with adjacent long strips parallel to each other to form a strip gap.

[0013] In some embodiments of this utility model, the lower side wall of the body is provided with a bulge shell located below the overhang and above the extension support, and the inner bottom wall of the base is equipped with a compressor, and the bulge shell is configured to wrap around a part of the compressor.

[0014] In some embodiments of this utility model, the outer surface of the bulge shell is provided with a drainage structure for guiding the condensate that falls on it to one side of the extended support.

[0015] In some embodiments of this utility model, the body has a first sidewall that is close to the manufacturing component and arranged in a vertical direction. The bulge shell includes a sloping shell that is connected to the lower end of the first sidewall and is inclined from top to bottom away from the first sidewall. The upper surface of the sloping shell constitutes the drainage structure. The lower end of the sloping shell is connected to a vertical shell arranged in a vertical direction.

[0016] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] See Figures 1 to 3 This utility model discloses an anti-tipping vertical frozen food manufacturing device, comprising: a body 100 extending vertically, a horizontally extending cantilever portion 110 at the top of the body 100, a downwardly extending manufacturing component 200 for manufacturing frozen food at the cantilever portion 110, and a base 120 at the bottom of the body 100. The base 120 has an extension support portion extending horizontally from the side of the body 100 to directly below the cantilever portion 110. The extension support portion and the manufacturing component 200 at least partially overlap in the vertical direction, and the distance by which the extension support portion protrudes from the side wall of the body 100 is less than the distance by which the manufacturing component 200 protrudes from the side wall of the body 100.

[0028] The vertical frozen food manufacturing equipment with the above structure adds an extension support section that extends horizontally to the base 120 of the body 100 and extends directly below the cantilever section 110. The extension support section and the base 120 are used to support the body 100 on the placement platform, thereby moving the fulcrum of the body 100 towards the cantilever section 110 when it is tilted. That is, the setting of the extension support section can reduce the overturning moment generated by the manufacturing component 200 and the cantilever section 110 on the body 100. Moreover, the extension support section protrudes a short distance and reserves an area for placing the water receiving tray 400, which does not affect the normal use of the vertical frozen food manufacturing equipment.

[0029] In some embodiments of this utility model, the extended support portion is a flat plate 300 formed on one side edge of the base 120. The lower end face of the flat plate 300 has a recessed cavity with an opening facing downwards. A frame portion 310 is formed at the opening edge of the cavity on the flat plate 300. Multiple supporting ribs 320 are spaced apart within the cavity. Both the frame portion 310 and the supporting ribs 320 are used to contact the placement platform. It is understood that the contact area between the flat plate 300 and the placement platform is larger than that of a point contact method. There are at least multiple points of contact between the flat plate 300 and the placement platform, which is beneficial for the stable placement of the vertical frozen food manufacturing equipment on the placement platform. However, the flatness of the flat plate 300 or the placement platform may be insufficient, resulting in local warping, which in turn affects the stable placement of the vertical frozen food manufacturing equipment. The above-mentioned cavity setting can solve the above problem. The frame part 310 and the supporting rib plate 320 abut against the placement platform. When the flatness of the flat plate 300 or the placement platform is insufficient, the flat plate 300 can undergo slight deformation under the weight of the body 100 and fit more closely to the upper surface of the placement platform.

[0030] In some embodiments of this utility model, a first reinforcing rib 330 is provided on the upper surface of the flat plate 300 at the connection between the flat plate 300 and the base 120. It is understood that when the body 100 tends to tilt towards the overhang 110, the flat plate 300 is compressed and deformed, making the connection between the flat plate 300 and the base 120 prone to breakage. Providing a first reinforcing rib 330 at the root of the flat plate 300 connecting to the base 120 can enhance the connection strength between the flat plate 300 and the base 120, reducing the possibility of breakage.

[0031] In some embodiments of this utility model, the base 120 is detachably connected to a water receiving tray 400 located directly below the manufacturing component 200. The water receiving tray 400 has a receiving groove 410 into which the flat plate 300 can extend and retract. When the water receiving tray 400 is connected to the base 120, it can shield the flat plate 300, and the distance by which the water receiving tray 400 extends horizontally from the base 120 is greater than the distance by which the flat plate 300 extends horizontally from the base 120. It is understood that the manufacturing component 200 generally includes a material bucket, a refrigeration evaporator located inside the material bucket, and a stirring mechanism. The refrigeration evaporator generates cold energy to cool the raw materials in the material bucket. At this time, the surface temperature of the material bucket is lower than that of the outside air. The outside air adheres to the outer surface of the material bucket and liquefies into water droplets. When the water droplets fall, they can fall into the water receiving tray 400, preventing the placement platform from getting wet or dirty. The water receiving tray 400 can also be used to place cups for receiving frozen food. When the drip tray 400 is connected to the flat plate 300, the base 120, the flat plate 300, and the drip tray 400 can be integrated into a single unit. This allows the vertical frozen food manufacturing equipment to have a large contact area with the placement platform directly below the cantilever 110, eliminating the possibility of the machine body 100 tilting. Moreover, when the drip tray 400 is connected to the flat plate 300, the flat plate 300 extends into the receiving trough 410, eliminating the need for the flat plate 300 to be exposed for aesthetic purposes. When the drip tray 400 is separated from the flat plate 300, the flat plate 300 is pulled out of the receiving trough 410. The flat plate 300 can still reduce the overturning moment generated by the manufacturing component 200 and the cantilever 110 on the machine body 100, and does not affect the disassembly and installation of the drip tray 400.

[0032] In some embodiments of this utility model, the side of the base 120 connected to the flat plate 300 has a wide plate extending horizontally to directly below the overhang 110. The width of the wide plate in the front-to-back direction is greater than the width of the flat plate 300 in the front-to-back direction. The overall structure of the wide plate and the flat plate 300 is convex ("U" shape). It should be noted that the wide plate further increases the contact area between the base 120 and the placement platform, but the distance by which the wide plate protrudes from the side wall of the body 100 is less than the distance by which the extended support protrudes from the side wall of the body 100, thus not affecting the disassembly and installation of the water tray 400. The convex shape of the overall structure of the wide plate and the flat plate 300 avoids making the shape of the base 120 too bulky, and the smaller size of the flat plate 300 facilitates the insertion and fitting of the recessed trough 410.

[0033] In some embodiments of this utility model, in order to simplify the production and assembly process and reduce manufacturing costs, the base 120, the wide plate portion and the flat plate 300 are an integral plastic structure.

[0034] In some embodiments of this invention, the extended support includes multiple long strips spaced apart along the length of one side edge of the base 120, with adjacent long strips parallel to each other to form a strip-shaped gap. Compared to the embodiment of the flat plate 300 described above, the multiple long strips can support the vertical frozen food manufacturing equipment of this invention at various positions along the length of one side edge of the base 120, which is more conducive to the stable placement of the vertical frozen food manufacturing equipment.

[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, a bulge shell 130 is provided on the lower side wall of the body 100, located below the overhang 110 and above the extension support. A compressor is installed on the inner bottom wall of the base 120. The bulge shell 130 is constructed to wrap around a part of the compressor. In this way, a part of the weight of the compressor is close to the side of the overhang 110, which also helps to lower the center of gravity of the vertical frozen food manufacturing equipment, reduce the overturning moment, and make full use of the internal space of the body 100. This makes the overall structure of the vertical frozen food manufacturing equipment more compact and the layout more reasonable, which is conducive to miniaturization, easy to carry and transport, and home use.

[0036] In some embodiments of this invention, the outer surface of the bulge shell 130 is provided with a drainage structure for guiding condensate that falls onto it to one side of the extended support. It is understood that the bulge shell 130 is at least partially located within the vertical projection range of the fabrication component 200, and some water droplets will fall onto the bulge shell 130. The drainage structure helps to prevent splashing and directs the liquid to the drip tray 400 for easy cleaning.

[0037] In some embodiments of this utility model, the body 100 has a first sidewall 140 located near the manufacturing component 200 and arranged vertically. The bulge shell 130 includes a sloping shell 131 connected to the lower end of the first sidewall 140 and inclined downwards away from the first sidewall 140. The upper surface of the sloping shell 131 forms the drainage structure, and the lower end of the sloping shell 131 is connected to a vertical shell 132 arranged vertically. It is understood that when liquid falls onto the sloping shell 131, the liquid flows down the slope of the sloping shell 131 to the vertical shell 132, and then flows down the vertical shell 132 into the water receiving tray 400. This drainage structure is very simple and requires no additional components. Of course, in other embodiments, the drainage structure can also be replaced by a water storage tank and a drain pipe connected to the water storage tank.

[0038] 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.

[0039] 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.
