Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flake ice machine technology, and specifically to a flake ice machine water spraying device. Background Technology

[0002] Flake ice machines, as a type of high-efficiency ice-making equipment, are widely used in various fields such as food refrigeration and preservation, aquatic product processing, cold chain logistics, chemical cooling, and medical cold chain. Their core working principle is to spray water evenly onto a low-temperature refrigeration surface (such as a drum-type refrigeration cylinder or a plate-type refrigeration plate), and use the low temperature of the refrigeration surface to quickly freeze the water into thin flake ice. The ice is then peeled off by a scraping mechanism to form flake ice. The water spraying device is a key core component of the flake ice machine and is very important to the entire equipment.

[0003] There is a water spraying device for a flake ice machine in the prior art. For example, the Chinese Utility Model Publication (Announcement) No.: CN211885629U discloses an energy-saving and environmentally friendly water spraying device for a flake ice machine, which includes a connecting shaft, a water distribution plate on the outer surface of the connecting shaft, a water receiving plate fixedly installed on the outer surface of the connecting shaft near the upper part of the water distribution plate, a filter structure on the inner side of the water receiving plate, and a fixing fastener at the upper edge of the water receiving plate. The edge of the filter structure is connected to the upper edge of the water receiving plate by the fixing fastener.

[0004] However, in actual use, water needs to be collected from the receiving tray and then fall into the distribution tray. But the open structure at the top and bottom may cause the water to be interfered with by the inside of the equipment during the falling process, making it impossible to fall accurately onto the surface of the distribution tray, which may result in uneven spraying of the low-temperature cooling surface. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a water spraying device for a flake ice machine to solve the problem in the prior art where water cannot accurately fall into the annular refrigeration plate when moving downwards due to the lack of a shielding structure.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a flake ice machine water spraying device, comprising a water distribution mechanism and a device body, wherein the water distribution mechanism is disposed inside the device body for uniformly dispersing water; The main body of the device includes a cabinet, a lifting plate is provided at the bottom of the cabinet, an evaporator is provided inside the lifting plate, and an annular refrigeration plate is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate. The outer wall of the cabinet is equipped with a circulation mechanism for recycling water.

[0007] Furthermore, a baffle plate is fixedly connected to the top of the cabinet interior, and a mounting plate with a shape adapted to the baffle plate is provided at the front end of the baffle plate. The baffle plate and the mounting plate are connected by bolts, so that the baffle plate and the interior of the mounting plate form a stable space.

[0008] Furthermore, the water distribution mechanism includes a servo motor, which is fixedly connected to the top of the cabinet. The output end of the servo motor extends into the interior of the cabinet, and an electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric telescopic rod, and a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod. A cutter is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate. When distributing water, the cutter rotates, which can quickly push down the water droplets remaining on the top of the annular cooling plate, further optimizing the uniformity of water distribution within the plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a water distribution frame is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod. The outer diameter of the water distribution frame is equal to the inner diameter of the annular cooling plate. Multiple water leakage holes are opened at the bottom of the water distribution frame. The water leakage holes are evenly distributed along the inside of the distribution frame, so that water can flow evenly into the interior of the annular cooling plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the interior of the water distribution frame is symmetrically equipped with filter frames. A first fixing block is fixedly connected to the top surface of the filter frame. The first fixing block is fixed to the top of the water distribution frame by bolts. A second fixing block is symmetrically fixedly connected to the top surface of the filter frame for fixing to another filter frame. This enables the filter frames to be disassembled and connected, allowing for easy removal and cleaning of the filter frames and preventing clogging.

[0011] Furthermore, the circulation mechanism includes a water storage tank and a water collection tank. The outer wall of the water storage tank is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cabinet, and the bottom of the water collection tank is fixedly connected to the top of the cabinet. A water pump located at the rear end of the water collection tank is fixedly connected to the top of the cabinet. The outlet of the water pump is connected to the water collection tank through a pipe, and the inlet of the water pump is connected to the water storage tank through a pipe. The water pump enables the reuse of water, reflecting the concept of environmental protection.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the water collection tank is symmetrically and fixedly connected with nozzles, the bottom of which is located inside the baffle plate, so that the nozzles are located in the space formed by the baffle plate and the mounting plate, preventing the water sprayed from the nozzles from falling into the annular cooling plate accurately due to external interference.

[0013] Furthermore, a water collection trough is provided at the bottom of the cabinet's interior, located on the outer surface of the lifting plate. A guide channel is provided at the center of the rear end of the water collection trough at the bottom of the cabinet's interior. A return water inlet is provided on the outer wall of the water storage tank. The return water inlet is connected to the guide channel, allowing excess water falling from inside the annular cooling plate to flow back into the water storage tank through the guide channel, thus demonstrating the recycling of water.

[0014] This utility model has the following advantages: 1. A baffle plate is fixedly connected to the top of the cabinet, forming a stable and sealed space inside with the mounting plate. The spray nozzle is installed within this space. The baffle plate and mounting plate effectively block interference factors such as airflow disturbance and component vibration inside the equipment. Combined with the guiding effect of the water distribution frame, the water flow sprayed from the nozzle is accurately guided into the dispersion frame, and then evenly sprayed onto the inner wall of the annular cooling plate, greatly improving the uniformity and stability of the spray and ensuring the consistency of flake ice thickness.

[0015] 2. A servo motor drives the connecting rod to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting plate to rotate synchronously. The cutter at the bottom of the connecting plate is positioned to fit against the top of the annular cooling plate. During the rotation of the cutter, residual water droplets on the top of the annular cooling plate can be quickly pushed flat, further optimizing the uniformity of water distribution within the plate. After the evaporator freezes the water within the annular cooling plate, the electric telescopic rod can be activated to push the cutter into the bottom of the annular cooling plate. The rotational motion of the cutter quickly peels off thin sheets of ice, efficiently forming flake ice. The operation is convenient and the ice-making efficiency is high.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a flake ice machine water spraying device, including a water distribution mechanism 2, which is disposed inside the main body 1 of the device to disperse water evenly; a circulation mechanism 3 is provided on the outer wall of the cabinet 11 to recycle the water.

[0022] The circulation mechanism 3 includes a water storage tank 31 and a water collection tank 33. The outer wall of the water storage tank 31 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cabinet 11. The bottom of the water collection tank 33 is fixedly connected to the top of the cabinet 11. A water pump 32 located at the rear end of the water collection tank 33 is fixedly connected to the top of the cabinet 11. The outlet of the water pump 32 is connected to the water collection tank 33 through a pipe, and the inlet of the water pump 32 is connected to the water storage tank 31 through a pipe.

[0023] In order to form sheet ice, such as Figure 2 As shown, the main body 1 of the device includes a cabinet 11. A lifting plate 13 is provided at the bottom of the cabinet 11. An evaporator is provided inside the lifting plate 13. The evaporator is a mature existing technology, and its internal structure and working principle will not be described in detail here. An annular cooling plate 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate 13. This utility model injects water into the annular cooling plate 15 and then starts the evaporator, so that the annular cooling plate 15 is in a low temperature state and quickly freezes the water inside into a thin sheet of ice.

[0024] Considering that the water sprayed from the nozzle 34 may be affected by internal airflow disturbance and component vibration during equipment operation, in order to mitigate the impact of the interference on the water sprayed from the nozzle 34, a baffle plate 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the cabinet 11. A mounting plate with a shape that matches the baffle plate 12 is provided at the front end of the baffle plate 12, and the baffle plate 12 and the mounting plate are connected by bolts.

[0025] The baffle plate 12, together with the mounting plate, forms a stable and sealed space inside. Sprayers 34 are symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the water collection tank 33. The bottom of the sprayers 34 is located inside the baffle plate 12, and the sprayers 34 are built into this space. The inner diameter of the baffle plate 12 is matched with the inner diameter of the water distribution frame 24, which allows the water sprayed from the sprayers 34 to be accurately guided into the water distribution frame 24.

[0026] To facilitate water dispersion and ensure uniform distribution of the water flowing into the annular cooling plate 15, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the water distribution mechanism 2 includes a servo motor 21, which is fixedly connected to the top of the cabinet 11. The output end of the servo motor 21 extends into the interior of the cabinet 11. An electric telescopic rod 22 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 21. A connecting rod 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric telescopic rod 22. A connecting plate 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 23. A cutter 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 25.

[0027] When water is sprayed from nozzle 34, the operator can start the servo motor 21. The rotation of the servo motor 21 can drive the electric telescopic rod 22 to rotate, and the rotation of the electric telescopic rod 22 can drive the connecting rod 23 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting plate 25 at the bottom of the connecting rod 23 and the cutter 26 below it to rotate. When the electric telescopic rod 22 is in its shortest state, the bottom blade of the cutter 26 is at the same level as the top opening of the annular cooling plate 15, which can clean away excess water droplets on the top of the annular cooling plate 15 and further optimize the uniformity of water distribution inside the annular cooling plate 15.

[0028] A water distribution frame 24 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod 23. The outer diameter of the water distribution frame 24 is equal to the inner diameter of the annular cooling plate 15. Multiple water leakage holes are opened at the bottom of the water distribution frame 24, so that the water inside the water distribution frame 24 flows into the bottom of the annular cooling plate 15 through the water leakage holes. It should be noted that the water leakage holes are evenly distributed at the bottom of the water distribution frame 24, so that the water flowing into the annular cooling plate 15 is more even.

[0029] After pouring appropriate amounts of water into the annular cooling plate 15, the operator turns on the evaporator. The low temperature of the annular cooling plate 15 quickly freezes the water into thin sheets of ice. Then, the operator starts the electric telescopic rod 22. The start of the electric telescopic rod 22 drives the cutter 26 to move downwards, so that the cutter 26 inserts into the bottom of the annular cooling plate 15. The rotation of the cutter 26 quickly peels off the thin sheets of ice, efficiently forming flake ice. Finally, the servo motor 21 is turned off, completing the production of flake ice.

[0030] It is worth noting that, in order to prevent the risk of wire harness entanglement during the rotation of the servo motor 21 and the electric telescopic rod 22, a conductive slip ring (also known as a slip ring) is embedded at the connecting shaft of the servo motor 21 and the electric telescopic rod 22. The stator (fixed part) of the conductive slip ring is connected to the cabinet 11. The wire harness (connecting the power supply and controller) led out from the stator end is routed along the fixed frame and does not rotate with the servo motor 21. The rotor (rotating part) of the conductive slip ring is rigidly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 21 or the top fixed seat of the electric telescopic rod 22, and rotates synchronously with the servo motor 21. The power supply line and control signal line (such as the travel feedback line) of the electric telescopic rod 22 are led out from the electric telescopic rod 22 body and directly connected to the rotor terminal of the conductive slip ring. The power / signal transmission in the rotating state is realized through the sliding contact between the conductive ring inside the slip ring and the brush.

[0031] To filter out impurities and facilitate removal, filter frames 27 are symmetrically arranged inside the water distribution frame 24. A first fixing block 28 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the filter frame 27. The first fixing block 28 is fixed to the top of the water distribution frame 24 by bolts. At this time, both filter frames 27 are fixedly connected to the surface of the water distribution frame 24. There is a certain distance between the bottom of the filter frame 27 and the bottom surface of the water distribution frame 24. A second fixing block 29 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the top surface of the filter frame 27. The second fixing block 29 of one filter frame 27 is in contact with the second fixing block 29 of the other filter frame 27. At the same time, a fixing hole is opened inside the second fixing block 29. The operator inserts a pin into the fixing hole and locks the pin with a cotter pin to fix the two filter frames 27.

[0032] It is worth noting that a baffle plate extends vertically from the connection of the filter frame 27, making the filter frame 27 open at the top. This allows impurities in the water to be collected inside the filter frame 27, preventing them from falling into the water distribution frame 24 when the filter frame 27 is removed.

[0033] In addition, when removing the filter frame 27, the mounting plate needs to be removed first, and then the bolts and pins of the first fixing block 28 and the second fixing block 29 need to be removed. Then, the two filter frames 27 are lifted upwards so that the filter frames 27 are taken out from the front of the baffle plate 12.

[0034] In order to achieve the recycling of water resources, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a water collection trough 14 is provided at the bottom of the cabinet 11 on the outer surface of the lifting plate 13. The corners of the lifting plate 13 are inclined downwards, so excess water in the annular cooling plate 15 will fall into the top of the lifting plate 13. Because of the inclined design of the corners of the lifting plate 13, water can fall into the water collection trough 14. Also, a guide channel 16 is provided at the center of the rear end of the water collection trough 14 at the bottom of the cabinet 11. A return water port 35 is provided on the outer wall of the water storage tank 31. The return water port 35 is connected to the guide channel 16. Water in the water collection trough 14 will fall into the water storage tank 31 from the guide channel 16. When it is necessary to spray water into the annular cooling plate 15, the operator starts the water pump 32. The water pump 32 will draw water in the water storage tank 31 and flow it into the water collection tank 33. Then the operator turns on the water pump 32 to make the water spray out from the nozzle 34.

[0035] The terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and "middle" used in this specification are merely for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Any changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of the invention.

[0036] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
