Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of snow melting machine technology, specifically a snow melting machine for uniform mixing. Background Technology

[0002] A snow melting machine, also known as a slush machine, snow slush machine, snow pellet machine, or snow melting juice machine, is a device mainly used to make snow-like beverages from raw materials such as fruit juice and sugar.

[0003] Existing slush machines generally employ a single spiral blade or scraper structure for their mixing devices. Their working principle involves generating a unidirectional thrust through unidirectional rotation, pushing the material from one end of the mixing drum towards the outlet. However, this unidirectional pushing method has inherent drawbacks: as material is continuously pushed towards the outlet, the space at the outlet gradually fills up, while the material replenishment rate at the inlet cannot promptly disperse the accumulated material, leading to concentrated accumulation at the outlet. Because the mixing device can only push in one direction, it cannot reverse-stir the material accumulated at the outlet. The material in the accumulation area cannot be fully mixed with materials in other areas (such as juice or sugar). For example, sugar may not be completely dissolved at the outlet accumulation point, while the juice at the inlet may not be fully blended with the sugar. The resulting slush will exhibit undissolved sugar granules or unevenly distributed ice crystals, directly resulting in a rough texture and reduced quality.

[0004] In view of this, we propose a snow melting machine that can mix the snow evenly. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a snow melting machine that can mix evenly. This snow melting machine solves the problem that existing snow melting machines use unidirectional mixing devices such as single spiral blades or scrapers, which only achieve mixing by pushing in one direction, resulting in the accumulation of raw materials at the outlet of the mixing drum and uneven mixing, which ultimately affects the taste of the snow slush.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A snow melting machine for uniform mixing includes a machine body and a mixing chamber. A cooling shell is provided on the inner wall of the mixing chamber, and a mixing mechanism is provided on the cooling shell. The mixing mechanism includes: a drive shaft, one end of which is connected to a drive device, and the other end of which is connected to an outer mixing ring. A connecting sleeve is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the drive shaft, and an inner mixing ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting sleeve. A transmission gear ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting sleeve. A transmission sleeve is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drive shaft, and an inner gear ring is provided on the inner wall of the transmission sleeve. A transmission planetary gear is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cooling shell. The outer wall of the transmission planetary gear meshes with the inner gear ring of the transmission sleeve, and the outer wall of the transmission planetary gear meshes with the transmission gear ring. A vibration mechanism is provided on the drive shaft to break up localized accumulations of material formed during the mixing process by vibration.

[0007] Preferably, the outer wall of the mixing chamber is provided with an outlet, the inner wall of the machine body is provided with a refrigeration component, the inner wall of the refrigeration shell is provided with a refrigeration pipe, and the refrigeration pipe is connected to the refrigeration component.

[0008] Preferably, the oscillation mechanism includes an outer fixed ring, which is fixedly connected to an inner stirring ring. Positioning rods are arranged in a circular array on the outer fixed ring. An inner fixed ring is provided on the outer wall of the drive shaft. A spring is provided on the inner fixed ring. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner fixed ring, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to a spherical block.

[0009] Preferably, the driving device is a motor, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the drive shaft via a coupling.

[0010] Preferably, the outer and inner stirring rings are made of stainless steel and their surfaces are polished.

[0011] Preferably, a bearing is provided between the connecting sleeve and the drive shaft, and a valve is provided at the output port.

[0012] Preferably, the top of the mixing chamber is provided with an opening, and the opening of the mixing chamber has an openable and closable cover.

[0013] By employing the above technical solution, this utility model provides a snow melting machine that produces uniformly stirred snow. It possesses at least the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model incorporates a stirring mechanism. When the drive shaft rotates, it directly drives the outer stirring ring to rotate forward, while simultaneously driving the inner stirring ring to rotate in reverse through the transmission sleeve, transmission planetary gear, and transmission gear ring. This rotation of the inner and outer stirring rings in opposite directions enables the material to flow in multiple directions, avoiding local accumulation and thus significantly improving the uniformity of material mixing.

[0014] 2. This utility model incorporates a vibration mechanism. The outer fixing ring rotates in reverse with the inner stirring ring, and the positioning rod continuously contacts and separates from the spherical block, causing the spring to compress and deform before returning to its original shape, thus generating vibration. This vibration is transmitted to the stirring mechanism through the inner fixing ring and the drive shaft, causing the material to vibrate. This effectively breaks up localized accumulation and agglomeration of the material during the stirring process, further improving the stirring effect. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 8As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a snow melting machine for uniform stirring, including a machine body 1 and a stirring chamber 2. A cooling shell 5 is provided on the inner wall of the stirring chamber 2, and a stirring mechanism 7 is provided on the cooling shell 5. The stirring mechanism 7 includes: a drive shaft 71, one end of the drive shaft 71 is connected to a drive device, and the other end of the drive shaft 71 is connected to an outer stirring ring 72. A connecting sleeve 73 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the drive shaft 71, an inner stirring ring 74 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 73, and a transmission gear ring 76 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 73. A transmission sleeve 75 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drive shaft 71, and an inner gear ring is provided on the inner wall of the transmission sleeve 75. A transmission planetary gear 77 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cooling shell 5. The outer wall of the transmission planetary gear 77 meshes with the inner gear ring of the transmission sleeve 75, and the outer wall of the transmission planetary gear 77 meshes with the transmission gear ring 76. The drive device drives the drive shaft 71 to rotate, and the rotation of the drive shaft 71 will produce two effects. On one hand, the drive shaft 71 directly drives the outer stirring ring 72 to rotate forward; on the other hand, the drive shaft 71 drives the transmission sleeve 75 to rotate. Since the inner wall of the transmission sleeve 75 is equipped with an internal gear ring, this internal gear ring meshes with the transmission planetary gear 77 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cooling shell 5. The transmission planetary gear 77, in turn, meshes with the transmission gear ring 76 fixed to the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 73. Therefore, when the transmission sleeve 75 rotates, it drives the transmission gear ring 76 to rotate in reverse via the transmission planetary gear 77. The transmission gear ring 76 then drives the connecting sleeve 73 to rotate in reverse, and the connecting sleeve 73 then drives the inner stirring ring 74 to rotate in reverse. This achieves different rotation directions: the inner stirring ring 74 rotates in reverse, and the outer stirring ring 72 rotates forward. This opposite rotation allows the material in the mixing chamber 2 to flow in multiple directions, preventing local accumulation of material and thus ensuring more uniform mixing. Simultaneously, the cooling shell 5 on the inner wall of the mixing chamber 2 can cool the material during the mixing process; the drive shaft 71 is equipped with a vibration mechanism 8, which uses vibration to break up local accumulation of material during the mixing process.

[0019] The outer wall of the mixing chamber 2 is equipped with an outlet 3, and the inner wall of the body 1 is equipped with a refrigeration component 4. The inner wall of the refrigeration shell 5 is equipped with a refrigeration pipe 6, which is connected to the refrigeration component 4. Refrigerant typically flows inside the refrigeration pipe 6. By working in conjunction with the refrigeration component 4, it can absorb heat from the material in the mixing chamber 2, thereby cooling the material and turning it into a slush-like substance. Furthermore, the spiral design of the refrigeration pipe 6 effectively guides the refrigerant, reducing refrigerant retention and making the refrigerant more uniform within the pipe, thus improving refrigeration efficiency.

[0020] The oscillation mechanism 8 includes an outer fixed ring 81, which is fixedly connected to the inner stirring ring 74. Positioning rods 83 are arranged in a circular array on the outer fixed ring 81. An inner fixed ring 82 is provided on the outer wall of the drive shaft 71, and a spring 84 is provided on the inner fixed ring 82. One end of the spring 84 is fixedly connected to the inner fixed ring 82, and the other end of the spring 84 is fixedly connected to a spherical block 85. When the drive device drives the drive shaft 71 to rotate, the drive shaft 71 drives the outer stirring ring 72 to rotate clockwise and the inner stirring ring 74 to rotate counterclockwise. The outer fixed ring 81 rotates in reverse with the inner stirring ring 74, and its positioning rod 83 continuously contacts the spherical block 85. When it touches the spherical block 85, it pushes it to compress and deform the spring 84. After the positioning rod 83 leaves, the spring 84 returns to its original shape, and the spherical block 85 rebounds. The repeated movement of the spherical block 85 causes the inner fixed ring 82 and the drive shaft 71 to vibrate and transmit the vibration to the stirring mechanism 7, which drives the material in the stirring chamber 2 to vibrate, breaking up local accumulation and agglomeration of the material, making the material distribution more uniform, promoting mixing, and improving the stirring effect and product quality.

[0021] The drive unit is an electric motor. The output shaft of the electric motor is connected to the drive shaft 71 via a coupling. The outer stirring ring 72 and the inner stirring ring 74 are made of stainless steel and have been polished. A bearing is provided between the connecting sleeve 73 and the drive shaft 71 to reduce frictional resistance during rotation. A valve is provided at the output port 3 to control the output flow rate of slush. An opening is provided at the top of the mixing chamber 2, and an openable cover is provided at the opening of the mixing chamber 2.

[0022] In use, the snow melting machine of this utility model, which provides uniform mixing, first opens the closable cover at the top opening of the mixing chamber 2, places the material to be processed inside, and then closes it. The drive unit is then started, and its output shaft drives the drive shaft 71 to rotate via a coupling. On one hand, this directly drives the outer mixing ring 72 to rotate forward and mix the material; on the other hand, the drive shaft 71 drives the transmission sleeve 75 to rotate. The inner gear ring of the transmission sleeve 75 meshes with the transmission planetary gear 77 on the inner wall of the refrigeration shell 5. The transmission planetary gear 77 then meshes with the transmission gear ring 76 on the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 73, thereby causing the connecting sleeve 73 to drive the inner mixing ring 74 to rotate in reverse. The inner and outer rotations in opposite directions allow the material to flow in multiple directions, avoiding local accumulation and making the material mix more uniformly.

[0023] When the drive shaft 71 rotates, the outer fixed ring 81 rotates in reverse with the inner stirring ring 74. The positioning rod 83 on it continuously contacts the spherical block 85 connected to the spring 84 on the inner fixed ring 82, pushing the spherical block 85 to compress and deform the spring 84 and then rebound. The resulting oscillation is transmitted to the stirring mechanism 7 through the inner fixed ring 82 and the drive shaft 71, causing the material to oscillate and break up local accumulation and agglomeration.

[0024] At the same time, the cooling component 4 on the inner wall of the machine body 1 works, and the refrigerant in the cooling pipe 6 absorbs the heat of the material in cooperation with the cooling component 4. The spiral design of the cooling pipe 6 makes the refrigerant flow evenly and improves the cooling efficiency, turning the material into a slush-like substance.
