Abstract

An ice shaving machine includes a base, a main body mounted on the base and having a platform provided with a shaving blade, a limit module mounted on the platform, and a rotation disk mounted in the main body. The limit module has an inner periphery provided with a receiving space. Thus, the ice block is limited by the limit module so that the ice block will not produce vibration during rotation to keep the stability and safety of the ice shaving machine during operation. In addition, the limit module has a central point the same as that of the platform so that when the ice block is received in the receiving space of the limit module and is shaved by the shaving blade, the force from the ice block is distributed evenly and smoothly on the shaving blade.

Claims

1. An ice shaving machine comprising:

a base;

a main body mounted on the base and having a platform provided with a shaving blade;

a limit module mounted on the platform; and

a rotation disk mounted in the main body, wherein;

the limit module has an inner periphery provided with a receiving space;

the platform is provided with multiple sets of through holes which are extended radially in a radiating manner;

the limit module includes a plurality of limiting members mounted in the multiple sets of through holes of the platform;

the receiving space of the limit module is defined between the inner edges of the plurality of limiting members;

the multiple sets of through holes of the platform are arranged concentrically and have a central point the same as that of the platform; and

the multiple sets of through holes of the platform have different diameters to define the receiving space of the limit module with different dimensions.

2. The ice shaving machine of claim 1, wherein the multiple sets of through holes of the platform are arranged in a circular manner.

3. The ice shaving machine of claim 1, wherein the limit module includes at least three limiting members.

4. The ice shaving machine of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of limiting members of the limit module has a bottom provided with a mounting portion inserted into one of the multiple sets of through holes of the platform.

5. The ice shaving machine of claim 4, wherein:

the mounting portion of each of the plurality of limiting members has the bottom provided with a threaded section; and

the limit module further includes a plurality of nuts each screwed onto the threaded section of one of the plurality of limiting members and each abutting a bottom of the platform to lock the plurality of limiting members onto the platform.

6. The ice shaving machine of claim 1, wherein the limit module includes an annular limiting member mounted on the platform.

7. The ice shaving machine of claim 1, wherein the limit module is formed integrally on the platform.

8. The ice shaving machine of claim 1, wherein the limit module is mounted on the platform by soldering.
