Description:
BACKGROUND 
       [0001]    The present invention relates generally to a machine for shaving and pressing ice cream. More particularly, the present invention relates to a machine for shaving and pressing ice cream, in which a rotary motor provided in a motor fixing case of a body part, and a drive actuator are driven to rotate and move down a pressing plate, such that ice cream contained in a container is shaved in multiple stages, whereby it is possible to obtain rough or soft and uniform ice cream in a wave form desired by a user, and it is possible to easily dispense soft ice cream by stopping driving the rotary motor and pressing semisolid ice cream contained in the container by the pressing plate being moved down. 
         [0002]    Generally known ice makers can make various kinds of edible ice such as ice cream and pieces of edible ice by freezing edible ice or ice powder with drinking water, juice, milk and juice mix, or a flavored drink according to the ice material using the refrigeration cycle. 
         [0003]    Edible ice, which is frozen through an ice maker, is served in the form of a soft ice flakes by shaving a block of ice with a blade into snow-like flakes using an ice shaving machine. 
         [0004]    In the case of a conventional ice shaving machine, a block of ice is broken into ice cubes, ice grains, ice flakes, or the like in accordance with the purpose, and the ice cubes, ice grains, ice flakes, or the like are put in drinks or fruit is mixed therewith to eat. Here, a protruding height of a blade is adjusted by a blade support mounted in the ice shaving machine such that the size of shaved ice varies in accordance with the purpose. 
         [0005]    Meanwhile, a document of Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2014-0123322 discloses an electric ice shaving machine, which is configured such that an ice block is placed on an ice support plate and then the ice block is fast rotated by an ice fixture at an upper portion thereof, whereby the ice block is shaved by a blade of the ice support plate placed at a lower portion of the ice block. When the ice block is not shaved, the ice block is spaced apart from the ice support plate, so as to prevent the ice block from melting by frictional heat of the ice support plate. 
         [0006]    As shown in  FIG. 1 , the technical configuration of the electric ice shaving machine is as follows: an ice support plate  20  is provided at a location, where a blade  21  is provided, of a middle lower portion of a main body  10 ; an ice shavings chamber  30  having an opening is provided with a lower portion of the ice support plate  20  to receive ice shavings shaved by the blade  21 ; and a rotating shaft  41  with an ice fixture  40  for fixing an ice block A fixed thereto is connected with a motor  46  at an upper portion of the main body  10 , so as to be rotated downward. 
         [0007]    Further, a drive chamber provided at an upper portion of the main body  10  is configured such that a lifting motor  44  with a worm gear  42  provided to a rotating shaft  41  is provided in the drive chamber, and after the ice fixture  40  is moved up by the lifting motor  44 , the ice fixture  40  with an ice block A fixed by a separate rotary motor  46  is rotated at a high speed, thereby shaving the ice block A. Meanwhile, a spaced support plate  50  is disposed to be withdrawable within a predetermined range in the ice support plate  20 ; the spaced support plate  50  is integrally formed on an upper surface of the ice support plate  20 , and a vertically movable plate  60  is provided at a lower portion of the ice support plate; an operating lever  70  is provided at a lower portion of the vertically movable plate  60  to adjust vertical motion of the vertically movable plate  60 ; and a compression spring  28  is elastically provided at a bottom of the ice support plate  20  to push the vertically movable plate  60  downward. 
         [0008]    Accordingly, in the state where the ice block A is placed on the upper surface of the ice support plate  20  of the main body  10 , the ice fixture  40  being moved down by operation of the lifting motor  44  fixes the ice block A, and in the state where driving of the lifting motor  44  is stopped, the ice fixture  40  is moved down by operation of the rotary motor  46  and the ice block A is shaved by the blade  21 . Here, in the state the spaced support plate  50  withdrawably provided on the upper surface of the ice support plate  20  does not come out from the upper surface of the ice support plate  20  and the vertically movable plate  60  is moved down by a downward force generated by the compression spring  28 , ice shaving is performed, and then the ice shaving is stopped by stopping the rotation of the ice fixture  40 . When the vertically movable plate  60  is moved up, by cutting off the operating power of the ice fixture  40  by a detection sensor  80 , it is possible to prevent the ice support plate  20  protruding from the spaced support plate  50  from being damaged. Meanwhile, when the ice block is spaced upward apart from the ice support plate  20  by the spaced support plate  50 , it is possible to prevent the ice block from melting by frictional heat of the ice support plate. 
         [0009]    However, the electric ice shaving machine is problematic in that since the separate vertically movable plate  60  is provided at the lower portion of the ice support plate  20  by interposing the compression spring  28 , and the separate spaced support plate  50  protruding from the ice support plate  20  is provided to prevent the ice block from melting by frictional heat of the ice support plate, the main body of the ice shaving machine has a complex structure that is difficult to manufacture; since the lifting motor  44  with the worm gear  42  provided thereon is provided in the rotating shaft  41  such that the ice fixture  40  is moved up and down by the lifting motor  44 , the ice fixture  40  is continuously moved down even after the entire ice block A fixed to the ice fixture  40  is shaved, whereby the blade  21  and the ice fixture  40  may be damaged; and since the ice block is shaved by manipulation of the rotary motor  46  which is manually operated, it is difficult to uniformly shave the ice block, and it is difficult to obtain soft ice shavings like ice cream.

         [0059]    Further, the shaft coupling hole  400   a  is formed at an upper portion of the elastic coupler  400  to allow a lower portion of the rotating shaft  130  to be inserted and locked thereto. 
         [0060]    Further, the support coupling hole  400   b  is formed at a lower portion of the elastic coupler  400  to allow the pressing plate  140  to be locked thereto by being inserted into the hole. 
         [0061]    Further, the spring  440  is elastically provided in the support coupling hole  400   b  to elastically support the pressing plate  140 . 
         [0062]    Here, it is preferred that the spring  440  elastically provided in the support coupling hole  400   b  to elastically support the pressing plate  140  be in a form of a coil spring or a leaf spring. 
         [0063]    Further, the pressing plate support  410  integrally extends at an upper portion of the pressing plate  140  rotated while pressing the frozen ice cream, so as to support the pressing plate  140 . 
         [0064]    Here, it is preferred that the pressing plate support  410  integrally extending from the pressing plate  140  to support the pressing plate  140  be configured to be inserted into the support coupling hole  400   b  formed at the lower portion of the elastic coupler  400 , and fixed thereto by using a coupling pin  420 . 
         [0065]    In the above described connection structure between the rotary motor  120  and the pressing plate  140 , particularly, the rotating shaft  130  connected with the rotary motor  120  is provided with a flat coupling portion  131  at each of opposite sides of a lower portion thereof, such that the rotating shaft is fixed to the elastic coupler  400  by using a coupling bolt B after the coupling portion  131  is closely engaged with the shaft coupling hole  400   a  of the elastic coupler  400 . 
         [0066]    Further, it is preferred that the elastic coupler  400  be formed with a longitudinally oblong hole  430  at each of opposite outer sides of the elastic coupler to communicate with the support coupling hole  400   b,  such that the pressing plate  140  along with the pressing plate support ( 410 ) is moveable up and down within a predetermined range. 
         [0067]    Furthermore, as shown in  FIG. 9 , it is preferred that the pressing plate  140  pressing the frozen ice cream be provided with a plurality of pressing protrusions  141 ′ at a lower portion thereof, so as to press a lower cover  351  of a container  300 ″, the lower cover  351  being provided with a notch  352  on an outer circumferential surface thereof such that the lower cover  351  is separated from the container  300 ″ containing the frozen ice cream by pressing pressure of the pressing plate  140 . 
         [0068]    Meanwhile,  FIG. 10  is a schematic perspective view showing a state of ice cream pressed and dispensed by the machine for shaving and pressing ice cream of the present invention. The machine for shaving and pressing ice cream includes: the above described body part  100 ; the guide means  110 ; the motor fixing case  170  with the rotary motor  120  provided therein, the rotary motor being configured such that the pressing plate  140  is mounted to the rotating shaft  130 ; the drive actuator  200 ; and the support plate  160 , wherein a container support  290  opened at a lower portion thereof, such that the ice cream in the container is dispensed by being pressed is detachably provided in the support plate  160  that is fixedly connected to a lower portion of the mount part  101  such that the support plate is coaxially aligned with the pressing plate  140  and a container  300 ′ containing ice cream is placed on the support plate, and here, the container support  290  receives the bellows type container  300 ′ containing soft ice cream therein. 
         [0069]    Accordingly, when the pressing plate  140  is moved down by operating only the drive actuator  200  in the state where the rotary motor  120  is stopped by the operation of the controller  270 , it is possible to easily dispense semisolid soft ice cream in the container  300 ′ through the lower portion of the container support  290  by the pressing plate  140  being moved down.
