Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of snow melting machine technology, and in particular to a mixing container and snow melting machine that can reduce the accumulation of materials at the front end. Background Technology

[0002] A slush machine (also known as a slush maker or icing machine) is a device used to make frozen drinks such as slushies and icing. Its main structure includes a refrigeration system (compressor, evaporator, condenser, etc.), a mixing cylinder, a mixing assembly (drive motor, scraper or spiral mixing blades, etc.), and a discharge structure (faucet, etc.).

[0003] During operation, the mixing drum receives and processes raw materials. After the raw materials are frozen by the evaporator, the cooled raw materials on the surface of the evaporator are scraped into slush by the spiral stirring blades and pushed forward to the tap for dispensing frozen drinks such as slush and slush. Traditional mixing drums are generally long cylindrical structures with a racetrack-shaped cross-section. Driven by the spiral stirring blades, the slush is pushed to the front and discharged through the tap. At the same time, the slush is squeezed at the front of the mixing drum, and the upper part of the front of the mixing drum is prone to accumulating slush. The accumulated slush not only reduces the material utilization rate, but also easily condenses into large ice blocks, affecting the taste or causing blockage. Utility Model Content

[0024] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 4 This invention describes a mixing container according to an embodiment of the present invention that can reduce the accumulation of material at the front end.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a mixing container according to an embodiment of the present invention that can reduce the accumulation of material at the front end includes: a container body 100 and a discharge structure 200. The container body 100 is provided with a cavity 109 for accommodating raw materials and a stirring component. The discharge structure 200 is located at the front end of the container body 100 and connected to the cavity 109. A guide structure is provided at the upper part of the front end of the cavity 109. The material in the cavity 109 can be stirred and rotated by the stirring component. When the material passes through the guide structure, the guide structure can guide the material to move backward.

[0026] The above structure reduces the accumulation of material at the upper front of the cavity, and the material is pushed backward and then circulated into the mixing component for mixing and then sent forward, thereby improving the utilization rate of raw materials.

[0027] Specifically, when the mixing component is working, it pushes the material from back to front to the discharge structure 200. The discharge port of the cavity 109 is located at the lower part of the front wall 109a of the cavity 109. The material pushed to the upper part of the front wall 109a of the cavity 109 is guided to move backward (opposite to the pushing direction) when it passes through the guiding structure, and then returns to the position where it can be stirred by the mixing component, is stirred again and pushed forward, thereby reducing the accumulation of material (such as smoothie, raw materials, etc.) at the upper part of the front end of the cavity and improving the utilization rate of raw materials.

[0028] In some embodiments of this utility model, the discharge structure 200 is a discharge port or discharge channel.

[0029] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the guiding structure includes a guide plate 110, the guide plate 110 is provided with a guide surface 111, the guide surface 111 extends along the direction of material rotation in the cavity 109 and gradually shifts backward, thereby guiding the material to move backward.

[0030] Specifically, the guide surface 111 faces the rotating material and is offset backward along the direction of material rotation, so that the material moves backward when it rotates to the guide surface 111.

[0031] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, one end of the guide plate 110 is connected to the front wall 109a of the cavity 109, and the other end of the guide plate 110 is an extension end 110a. The extension end 110a extends backward along the direction of material rotation in the cavity 109, thereby forming a guide surface 111 that extends backward in the direction of material rotation.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the upper end of the guide plate 110 is connected to the upper wall 109b of the cavity 109 to enhance the structural strength of the guide plate 110.

[0033] Specifically, the upper end of the guide plate 110 bends along the upper wall 109b of the cavity 109 to fit the upper wall 109b and avoid gaps that could cause material accumulation.

[0034] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the extended end 110a is connected to the front wall 109a of the cavity 109 via a rearwardly extending support plate 120 to enhance the structural strength of the guide plate 110.

[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, the guide surface 111 is an inclined surface, which has a better guiding effect.

[0036] In some embodiments of this utility model, the guide surface 111 is a concave or convex arc surface, both of which have good guiding effects.

[0037] It is understood that in some embodiments of this utility model, the guide surface 111 may also be a stepped surface, a wave-shaped surface, etc.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a material box 130 is provided on the upper part of the container body 100. The material box 130 is located away from the guide structure to reduce the impact on the guiding effect of the guide structure.

[0039] Specifically, the lower part of the material box 130 protrudes from top to bottom into the upper wall of the cavity 109. The material box 130 is located at the rear end of the upper part of the container body 100, and has a large distance from the guiding structure, which reduces the obstruction of the material being guided by the guiding structure to move backward.

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a material box 130 is provided on the upper part of the container body 100. The material box 130 is recessed on the outer surface of the container body 100, so that the container body 100 maintains a simple shape.

[0041] Specifically, the lower part of the material box 130 protrudes from top to bottom into the upper wall of the cavity 109, and the opening of the material box 130 is roughly flush with the outer surface of the container body 100. The material box 130 is located at the rear end of the upper part of the container body 100 to reduce the impact on the guiding structure.

[0042] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a snow melting machine includes a mixing container with an extended feed box, as described in any of the first aspects of the present invention. This reduces the accumulation of slush in the upper part of the front end of the cavity 109 of the mixing container, thereby improving the utilization rate of raw materials.

[0043] Of course, this invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this invention. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
