TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of ice shavers, and in particular, to a stably-working and non-stagnant ice shaver with a stirring roller.BACKGROUND
[0002] Ice shavers may be divided into traditional ice shavers and ice-free ice shavers. The traditional ice shaver has three steps of “ice making, ice breaking and seasoning”, and shaved ice is made by physically breaking ice and stirring. The ice-free ice shaver is free of an ice-making process, and raw materials directly produce shaved ice to retain original flavor of ingredients.
[0003] The biggest defect of the ice-free ice shaver in a shaved ice production process is that ice is produced on a cooler of a mixing roller. Once ice is produced, a stubborn rotation obstacle may be formed to hinder rotation of a mixing blade, which is a vicious cycle. After the mixing blade stops rotating, the icing speed is accelerated, and eventually a forced suspension of the ice shaver is caused, which not only affects the shaved ice production process, but also causes equipment damage due to overload damage. Therefore, an existing ice shaver needs to be monitored at all times in the use process, so as to destroy a frozen stagnation phenomenon in time with tools with the help of human intervention at an initial stage of an icing phenomenon, thereby ensuring normal operation of the ice shaver. However, this is nothing more than wasting a lot of human resources and causing unnecessary waste of resources.SUMMARY
[0004] The present disclosure aims to provide a stably-working and non-stagnant ice shaver with a stirring roller. An anti-coagulation layer is loaded on an outer surface of a cooler of a stirring roller for preventing from hanging ice and producing ice on the cooler during a shaved ice production process, thereby ensuring that the ice shaver is stable and non-stagnant during a shaved ice production process, not only saving human resources for using the ice shaver, but also effectively avoiding operation of the ice shaver in an overload environment, and effectively prolonging a service life of the ice shaver. Problems proposed in the background are solved.

[0024] The following clearly and completely describes the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the embodiments of the present disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely a part rather than all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the embodiment in the present disclosure, all other embodiments acquired by the ordinary technical staff in the art under the premise of without contributing creative labor belong to the scope protected by the present disclosure.
[0025] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, a stably-working and non-stagnant ice shaver with a stirring roller includes a housing, wherein an accommodation cavity and a mixing cavity 1 are disposed in the housing. A compressor 6, a condenser 8, a circuit board assembly 9, a drive motor 4 and a transmission mechanism 3 are installed in the accommodation cavity. The transmission mechanism 3 is a gear set transmission mechanism. A stirring roller 2 is disposed in the mixing cavity 1. The compressor 6 and the drive motor 4 are both electrically connected with the circuit board assembly 9. The stirring roller 2 includes a drive shaft 21 in transmission connection with the transmission mechanism 3, a cooler 22 circumferentially disposed around the drive shaft 21 and fixedly connected with the drive shaft 21, an anti-coagulation layer 23 wrapped on an outer surface of the cooler 22, and a spiral blade 24 spirally wound around the cooler 22 and circumferentially disposed around the anti-coagulation layer 23. The spiral blade 24 is fixedly connected with the drive shaft 21 and driven by the drive shaft 21 to rotate circumferentially around the cooler 22 with the drive shaft 21 as a center shaft. One side surface of the anti-coagulation layer 23 away from the cooler 22 is a smooth surface or an anti-sticking surface. The compressor 6, the condenser 8 and the cooler 22 are connected through a pipeline to form a refrigeration loop.
[0026] The cooler 2 has a circular tube shape. The cooler 22 is preferably a stainless steel member or an aluminum alloy member with relatively high heat conduction performance. A refrigeration interlayer 221 is disposed in a circumferential wall surface of the cooler 22. The refrigeration interlayer 221 communicates with a liquid inlet pipe 222 and a liquid outlet pipe 223. The liquid inlet pipe 222 communicates with an output end of the condenser 8. The liquid inlet pipe 233 communicates with an input end of the compressor 6. In working hours, the compressor 6 conveys high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant to the condenser 8. The condenser 8 releases heat from the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant through heat exchange. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is converted into low-temperature and high-pressure main liquid refrigerant which is input into the refrigeration interlayer 221 through the liquid inlet pipe 222. The liquid refrigerant cools the cooler 22, so that liquid beverage in the mixing cavity 1 may be cooled to form shaved ice. Finally, a shaved ice product is output to the outside through the discharge assembly 12. The anti-coagulation layer 23 is any one of a glass layer, a ceramic layer, a ceramic glass layer, a nano-ceramic layer and a Teflon layer. The outer surface of the cooler 22 is coated or stacked with the anti-coagulation layer 23 through a coating, thereby effectively preventing from hanging ice and producing ice on the surface of the condenser 8 during an shaved ice production process. A stirring roller installation through hole 13 communicating with inside and outside of the mixing cavity 1 is formed in a wall surface of the mixing cavity 1. The stirring roller 2 stretches into the mixing cavity 1 from the stirring roller installation through hole 13. The stirring roller 2 and the stirring roller installation through hole 13 realize a water-seal connection through a seal ring 26. One end of the cooler 22 close to the transmission mechanism 3 is fixedly fastened on the housing through a stirring roller fixed support 27. The drive shaft 21 runs through two opposite ends of the cooler 22. One end of the drive shaft 21 away from the transmission mechanism 3 is rotatably connected with the cooler 22 through a bearing assembly 25. The spiral blade 24 is fixedly connected with one end of the drive shaft 21 away from the transmission mechanism 3. An upper end of the mixing cavity 1 is movably covered with a mixing cavity cover 11. A temperature sensor 14 is disposed in the mixing cavity 1. The temperature sensor 14 is electrically connected with the circuit board assembly 9. A discharge assembly 12 is disposed on one side wall surface of the mixing cavity 1. The discharge assembly 12 includes a discharge pipe 121 communicating with inside of the mixing cavity 1. A discharge through hole 122 is formed in a wall surface of the discharge pipe 121. The discharge through hole 122 communicates with inside of the mixing cavity 1. A discharge port 123 is formed in a lower end of the discharge pipe 121. The discharge pipe 121 is provided with a spring 124 and an h-shaped discharge plug 125 sequentially in an axial direction. The H-shaped discharge plug 125 is elastically connected with the spring 124. The H-shaped discharge plug 125 includes an upper seal plug 1251 and a lower seal plug 1252. In a normal state, the upper seal plug 1251 and the lower seal plug 1252 are respectively located on upper and lower sides of the discharge through hole 122 for isolating a passage between the discharge through hole 122 and the discharge port 123. One end of the spring 124 away from the H-shaped discharge plug 125 is limited. An outer side of the discharge pipe 121 is rotatably connected with a handle 126. One end of the handle 126 stretches into the discharge pipe 121 and is in butt-joint with a prizing hole 1253 in the H-shaped discharge plug 125. When the handle 126 rotates, displacement caused by an elastic force of the spring 124 may be overcome by prizing the H-shaped discharge plug 125 by means of a lever structure, so as to release a connection isolated state between the discharge through hole 122 and the discharge port 123.
[0027] A motor fan 5 is disposed on one side of the drive motor 4. A cooling fan 7 is disposed on one side of the condenser 8. An air inlet hole 15 and a heat emission hole 16 are formed in the housing. The motor fan 5 guides air located at the air inlet hole 15 to blow outward from the heat emission hole 16 after flowing through the drive motor 4 and the transmission mechanism 3. The cooling fan 7 guides air located at the air inlet hole 15 to blow outward from the heat emission hole 16 after flowing through the condenser 8. The circuit board assembly 9 is electrically connected with a display assembly 91, a button assembly 92 and a power port. The display assembly 91, the button assembly 92 and the power port are all disposed in a preset through hole of the housing and stretch outward from the through hole. The display assembly 91 is used for displaying current working parameters and working mode of the ice shaver, thereby facilitating to implement control adjustment by a user. The button assembly 92 is a user control window for controlling a working state and working mode of the ice shaver. The power port is connected to an external power supply for supplying electric energy when the ice shaver works.
[0028] In conclusion, according to the ice shaver, the anti-coagulation layer 23 is loaded on the outer surface of the cooler 22 of the stirring roller 1 for preventing from hanging ice and producing ice on the cooler 22 during a shaved ice production process, thereby ensuring that the ice shaver is stable and non-stagnant during the shaved ice production process, not only saving human resources for using the ice shaver, but also effectively avoiding operation of the ice shaver in an overload environment, and effectively prolonging a service life of the ice shaver.
