ICE CUBE POSITIONING AND PROTECTING STRUCTURE OF ICE SHAVER
An ice cube positioning and protecting structure of an ice shaver includes a base, a transmission mechanism and a bracket. The transmission mechanism is installed on the base, and the base includes a support base screwed to a rotating rod linked by the transmission mechanism, so that the rotating rod can be moved up and down with respect to the support base. A positioning space is concavely formed on a side of the support base, and a first engaging portion is disposed on at least one side of an inner wall of the positioning space. The bracket has a second engaging portion for installing the bracket into the positioning space, and an ice containing space is concavely and downwardly formed at the bracket, and a planer and an outlet are formed at the bottom of the bracket for putting the ice cube and preventing flake ice from flying out.
The present invention relates to the structure of an ice shaver, in particular to an ice cube positioning and protecting structure of the ice shaver.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONIn a conventional ice shaver, an ice cube is put onto a planer seat, and a rotating mechanism is provided for rotating the ice cube, so that the rotation of the ice cube with respect to the planer shaves the ice cube into flake ice which is used for making ice products. However, the ice cube is put onto the planner seat and exposed to the outside, so that the ice cube may be melted quickly by the relatively higher temperature of the environment, which may increase the cost intangibly. In addition, dust may be attached onto the exposed ice cube easily, and thus affecting the sanitation of the ice products. On the other hand, the ice shaver producing the flake ice by rotating and rubbing the ice cube with the planer, and the flake ice may fly towards the outside during its manufacturing process due to the centrifugal force of the rotation. Obviously, the conventional ice shaver causes inconvenience and messy environment and requires further improvements.
Therefore, it is an important subject of the present invention to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the conventional ice shaver.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIn view of the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art, it is a primary objective of the present invention to provide a
To achieve the aforementioned objective, the present invention provides an ice cube positioning and protecting structure of an ice shaver, wherein the structure comprises a bucket structure for containing an ice cube, and the ice cube is fixed and prevented from ejecting the flake ice while providing a thermal insulation effect.
With reference to
In addition, a positioning space 42 is concavely formed on a side of the support base 4, and a first engaging portion is disposed on at least one side of an inner wall of the positioning space 42. In this preferred embodiment as shown in
In
In
In addition, the transmission mechanism 2 includes a casing 12 covered thereon, and the casing 12 includes a power switch 13 and a steering control switch 14, both electrically coupled to the transmission mechanism 2, and provided for turning on the transmission mechanism 2 and controlling the rotation direction of the rotating rod 21 driven by the transmission mechanism 2.
In an application as shown in
With reference to
In addition, the ice containing space 321 of the bucket 32 not just can accommodate larger ice cubes only, but also can accommodate a plurality of smaller ice cubes. The ice shaver of the present invention can be used for producing flake ice.
