Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to an ice shaving and ice crushing machine for commercial or household use.

Conventional structure and its problems Conventionally, there has been no ice shaving and ice crushing machine of this type, and since they exist as single-function ice shaving machines and ice crushing machines, they take up a lot of space and are expensive. The problem was that it was expensive.

Purpose of the invention The purpose of the present invention is to solve these conventional problems and provide an ice shaving and ice crushing machine that can perform both ice cutting and crushing operations with one machine.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the ice shaving and ice crushing machine of the present invention is provided with a forward-inclined cylindrical ice storage chamber and an electric motor that rotates a rotary blade located inside the ice storage chamber, and The cylindrical ice storage chamber includes a cutting blade on the front wall and a crushing blade that is inserted into and taken out from the inside.
It is equipped with an ice block discharge port that serves to discharge both ice blocks during ice shaving and ice crushing. According to this configuration, by operating the crushing blade in and out, ice cutting and crushing can be performed in one ice storage chamber. In addition, since the ice block discharge port serves as the ice block discharge port for both ice shaving and ice crushing, the structure is simpler compared to one that has a discharge port for both ice shaving and ice crushing. Therefore, it can be obtained at low cost and is very easy to use.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIGS. 1 to 6, 1 is an ice shaving/ice crusher main body (hereinafter referred to as the main body), and a cylindrical ice storage chamber 2 is provided in the upper part of the inside of this main body 1.
The ice storage chamber 2 has a groove 2a on the outer periphery of the inner bottom, and a drain hole 2b at the lowest point of the groove 2a. A hose 3 is connected to this drain hole 2b to guide water generated in the ice storage chamber 2 to a water tray 4. Furthermore, inside the ice storage chamber 2, there is a rotary blade 5 which is pivotally supported at the center of the ice storage chamber 2 and has a plurality of holes 5a. to do. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the front wall of the ice storage compartment 2 is provided with a cutting blade 6, a crushing blade 7, and an ice block outlet 8, and by operating a switching lever 9, The crushing blade 7 is structured to move in and out of the ice storage chamber 2. At the same time, the size of the ice block outlet 8 changes by moving the outlet cover 10 back and forth. The protrusion of the cutting blade 6 can be adjusted by operating the adjustment knob 11, and the roughness of cutting the ice can be changed. Further, an electric motor 12 is installed in the inner lower part of the main body 1, and a reducer 13 consisting of a planetary gear is connected to the tip of the electric motor shaft 12a. The rotation is decelerated and transmitted to the rotating blades 5 through the rotating shaft 14. Furthermore, on the top of the main body 1, a switch 15,
It has a safety switch 16, and when the main body lid 17 is open, the safety switch 16 is turned OFF.
It has a safe structure in which the rotating blade 5 does not rotate.

The operation in the above configuration will be explained. Body lid 17
Open the lid 17, put ice in the ice storage compartment 2, and then close the lid 17 again.
When the switch 15 is closed and the switch 15 is turned on, the rotary blade 5 rotates and presses ice against the side wall of the ice storage chamber 2. In this case, when the crushing blade 7 protrudes into the ice storage chamber 2, the ice only comes into contact with the crushing blade 7, and the crushed ice is discharged from the ice block discharge port 8 which is wide open.
Also, operate the switching lever 9 to move the crushing blade 7 to the ice storage compartment 2.
When the ice is packed in from the inside and taken out, it comes into contact with the cutting blade 6 and is therefore cut. In this way, the ice can be cut and crushed simply by operating the switching lever 9, which provides an excellent effect. Furthermore, since the ice block discharge port 8 is designed to discharge ice blocks both during ice shaving and ice crushing, it has the effect of being very easy to use.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, the ice shaving/ice crusher of the present invention has a forward-inclined cylindrical ice storage chamber and an electric motor that rotates a rotary blade located inside the ice storage chamber inside the main body. , and the cylindrical ice storage chamber is provided with a cutting blade on the front wall, a crushing blade that is taken in and out of the interior, and an ice block discharge port that serves to discharge ice blocks both during ice shaving and ice crushing, and further includes an ice storage outlet for the ice crushing blade. It is equipped with a discharge port cover that changes the opening area of the ice block discharge port according to the loading and unloading of ice cubes into the room, and by operating the crushing blade in and out, ice can be cut and crushed in one ice storage chamber. In addition, when cutting ice, if the outlet on the front side of the cutting blade is large, the ice that hits the cutting blade will move and will not cut properly, so it is better to have a smaller outlet. On the other hand, when crushing ice, the outlet needs to be made larger because the crushed ice is larger than shaved ice. However, in this invention, the ice block outlet needs to be made larger as the crushing blade moves in and out of the ice storage chamber. It has an outlet cover that changes the opening area of the ice, so when cutting ice with a cutting blade,
The outlet cover faces the ice block outlet, making it possible to make the ice block outlet smaller. On the other hand, when crushing ice with a crushing blade, the outlet cover comes off from the ice block outlet, making it possible to make the ice block outlet larger. As a result, it is possible to cut and crush ice with one ice block outlet, and if there is only one ice block outlet,
Since ice comes out from the same place both when shaving and crushing ice, there is no need to change the position of the container that receives the ice, and the ice can be received in the same place, which is extremely useful in terms of usability. In addition, the structure is simpler than that provided with outlets for both ice shaving and ice crushing, and as a result, the cost can be lowered.
