[0030] See Figures 1-12 This is one embodiment of an ice shaver proposed in this utility model. The ice shaver 100 includes: a receiving cavity 10, a spiral ice grid compartment 20, and a drive structure 30. The receiving cavity 10 is used to receive the spiral ice grid compartment 20, and has a discharge port with ice blades installed at the discharge port. The spiral ice grid compartment 20 is used to receive and transport ice blocks, and is rotatably located within the receiving cavity 10, transporting the ice blocks to the discharge port by rotation. The drive structure 30 is used to drive the spiral ice grid compartment 20 to rotate within the receiving cavity 10. The drive structure 30 has a geared disc 31, a handle 32 mounted on the geared disc 31, and a gear ring 33 meshing with the geared disc 31, the gear ring 33 being sleeved on the outside of the spiral ice grid compartment 20.

[0031] In this embodiment, it is compatible with various small ice cubes, eliminating the need for a dedicated ice-making module to produce ice cubes of specific shapes and sizes, thus freeing it from reliance on such a module. The spiral ice grid 20 slowly conveys ice cubes through a spiral structure 30, ensuring stable feeding even if the ice cubes have cracks or slightly lower strength, thus relaxing the requirements for ice cube strength. The drive structure 30 transmits power through the meshing of a toothed disc 31 and a toothed ring 33, which facilitates smoother transmission. The large number of meshing teeth on the toothed disc 31 and the toothed ring 33 allows for the even transmission of the rotational force of the handle 32 to the spiral ice grid 20, ensuring a stable feeding speed and consistent ice-shaving efficiency. Furthermore, it facilitates the conversion of force direction during transmission. The spiral ice grid 20 is preferably open at the top to ensure the capacity and conveyance of ice cubes, and the toothed disc 31 is preferably vertically positioned to facilitate the application of force to the handle.

[0032] In some embodiments of this application, the receiving cavity 10 has an outer wall 12 and a bottom wall 13. A discharge port is provided on the bottom 13. A rotatable decorative wall 19 is provided on the inner side of the outer wall 12, visible from the outside. Rotation of the decorative wall 19 allows the image on it to move, enhancing the visual effect. The decorative wall 19 is fitted onto the outside of the spiral ice tray 20. To achieve visibility of the decorative wall 19, the outer wall 12 can be made of a transparent material, or a viewing window can be provided on the outer wall 12. As the device rotates, the image on the decorative wall 19 is dynamically presented through the transparent outer wall 12 or the viewing window, enhancing the user experience.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, the rotation of the decorative wall 19 can be driven by a drive structure. The decorative wall 19 is driven to rotate by the drive structure 30. The decorative wall 19 is provided with meshing teeth 191, and the gear disk 31 is provided with a first transmission tooth 311 that matches the gear ring 33 and a second transmission tooth 312 that matches the meshing teeth 191. The first transmission tooth 311 is located outside the second transmission tooth 312. The rotation of the decorative wall 19 is directly driven by the gear disk 31 that drives the spiral ice compartment 20. The first transmission tooth 311 and the second transmission tooth 312 of the gear disk 31 are coaxially designed, so that the rotation of the decorative wall 19 is synchronized with the operation of the equipment.

[0034] In some embodiments of this application, a first clearance opening 121 and a second clearance opening 122 are provided on the outer wall 12. The first clearance opening 121 is used to avoid the meshing of the gear ring 33 with the first transmission gear 311, and the second clearance opening 122 is used to avoid the meshing of the meshing gear 191 with the second transmission gear 122.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the drive structure 30 has a fixed plate 34 for mounting the gear disc 31. The fixed plate 34 is fixedly disposed relative to the receiving cavity 10. The fixed plate 34 is provided with an avoidance part that corresponds to both the first avoidance opening 121 and the second avoidance opening 122.

[0036] In some embodiments of this application, the receiving cavity 10 is provided with an inner wall 14 surrounding the outside of the spiral ice grid 20, and the decorative wall 19 is located in the interlayer space enclosed by the outer wall 12 and the inner wall 14. The inner wall 14 ensures that the decorative wall 19 and the spiral ice grid 20 are in different spaces, eliminating any risk of friction. The core feeding function and the decorative function do not interfere with each other, making the equipment operate stably.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, the receiving cavity 10 is provided with a protruding fixed shaft 15, and the spiral ice tray 20 has a bushing 21 sleeved on the outside of the fixed shaft 15, a spiral plate 22 disposed on the bushing 21, and a tray wall 23 located outside the spiral plate 22. A toothed ring 33 is provided on the outside of the tray wall 23. The fixed shaft 15 of the receiving cavity 10 and the bushing 21 of the spiral ice tray 20 are coaxially fitted to ensure that the gap between the spiral plate 22 and the inner wall 14 of the receiving cavity and the tray wall 23 is uniform when the spiral plate 22 rotates.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, the bushing 21 has an inner bushing plate 211 and an outer bushing plate 212 that are fitted together. A boss 131 surrounding the outside of the fixed shaft 15 is provided on the bottom wall 13 of the receiving cavity 10. A limiting groove 132 is formed between the boss 131 and the fixed shaft 15. The lower end of the inner bushing plate 211 is located within the limiting groove 132, thus limiting the lower end of the bushing 21. The fitted connection between the inner bushing plate 211 and the outer bushing plate 212 increases structural strength and allows it to withstand greater radial torque. The design of the bushing 21 in conjunction with the fixed shaft 15 and the limiting groove 132 simplifies the installation of the spiral ice compartment 20.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, the plane at the lower end of the outer bushing 212 is higher than the lower end face of the inner bushing 211. The lower end of the outer bushing 212 is located above the boss 131, and a radially extending connecting plate 213 is provided between the inner bushing 211 and the outer bushing 212. The lower end of the outer bushing 212 is higher than the lower end of the inner bushing 211 and rests directly on the upper side of the boss 131. The inner bushing 211 provides radial restraint, preventing the bushing 21 from shaking; the outer bushing 212 provides axial bearing, supporting the weight of the spiral ice compartment 20 and the ice, thus increasing stability.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, the gear ring 33 and the spiral ice tray 20 are separately configured, and a limiting structure is provided between the gear ring 33 and the spiral ice tray 20. The limiting structure has a limiting block 331 extending radially inward on the gear ring 33 and a limiting groove 24 matching the limiting block 331 on the spiral ice tray 20. The limiting block 331 is located within the limiting groove 24. When the gear ring 33 rotates, the torque can be transferred to the spiral ice tray 20, realizing the synchronous rotation of the gear ring 33 and the spiral ice tray 20. The limiting structure is set to limit the gear ring 33 in the inward and outward directions.

[0041] In other embodiments of this application, the limiting structure may also be a limiting block that extends radially outward on the spiral ice compartment 20, and a limiting groove that matches the limiting block on the toothed ring 33.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the spiral ice compartment 20 is provided with a limiting plate 25 abutting against the inner side of the gear ring 33, and a limiting groove 24 is formed on the limiting plate 25. The receiving cavity 10 is provided with an inner wall 14 surrounding the outer side of the spiral ice compartment 20. The gear ring 33 has a radially inwardly extending support plate 332, which is located on the upper side of the inner wall 14 and on the lower side of the limiting plate 25. The support plate 332 is limited between the inner wall 14 and the limiting plate 25, thereby limiting the gear ring 33 in the vertical direction. During assembly, it is only necessary to place the support plate 332 of the gear ring 33 on the inner wall 14 and then lower the spiral compartment limiting plate 25 aligned with the inner side of the gear ring 33 to automatically complete the axial limiting calibration.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, a downwardly extending flange 333 is provided on the inner side of the support plate 332. The flange 333 is located on the inner side of the inner wall 14 and abuts against the wall 23 of the spiral ice compartment 20.

[0044] In some other embodiments of this application, the toothed ring 33 may also be integrally formed with the spiral ice compartment 20.

[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the spiral ice tray 20 has a tray wall 23, which has a main body 231 and a tray edge 232 that extends outward and slopes vertically along the upper end of the main body 231. A limiting plate 25 extends downward along the tray edge 232, and a limiting structure is provided between the limiting plate 25 and the toothed ring 33. The limiting plate 25 extends downward from the tray edge 232 of the tray wall 23 to ensure the coaxiality of the limiting plate 25 and the tray wall 23, and to facilitate the positional stability of the limiting plate 25. The tray edge 232 extends outward and slopes vertically along the upper end of the main body 231, which can distribute the force on the upper end of the tray wall 23, ensuring that the tray wall 23 maintains a cylindrical structure for a long time and does not affect the rotation and feeding of the spiral plate 22. The outwardly sloped tray edge 25 can increase the ice-adding area of ​​the open top of the spiral tray, and the sloped surface can guide the ice blocks to slide into the tray, improving the convenience of ice-adding operation. The limiting plate 25 is located at the upper end of the bin wall 23, and its meshing position with the gear ring 33 is closer to the transmission center of the gear ring 33, which reduces the lever arm loss during torque transmission and improves transmission efficiency.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, the ice shaver 100 further includes a support 40, a receiving cavity 10 located on the upper side of the support 40, and an upper cover 50 covering the upper end of the receiving cavity 10.
