Abstract

An ice scraping machine includes a machine base having an ice container with a scraper disk provided on the topside, a machine body covered on the ice container and having a trigger switch, a motor, a transmission gear unit and a push rod, and an upper cover provided with a press switch and a press rod. When the machine body is covered on the machine base, the ice container will press the lower end of the push rod to let its upper end deflect outward not to push against the press rod, letting the press switch able to be pressed downward to compress the trigger switch to start the motor for ice scraping. If the machine body is disengaged from the machine base, the push rod will recover to push against the bottom of the press rod, letting the press switch impossible to be pressed downward to ensure safety in use.
