[0051] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any structural, methodological, or functional changes made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] It should be understood that the terms used herein, such as "upper," "above," "lower," and "below," etc., indicating spatial relative positions, are used for ease of explanation to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the accompanying drawings. Spatially relative terms may be intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation other than the orientation shown in the drawings.

[0053] The mixing device in the specific embodiment of the present invention is described by taking a mixing device 100 for mixing powder and water for preparing a beverage as an example. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the mixing device 100 includes a support base 10, a mixer assembly 30 mounted on the support base 10, and a motor 40 disposed on the support base 10. The support base 10 can be a housing or a structure for supporting or connecting functional components. The support base 10 has a mounting portion 11, and the mixer assembly 30 is connected to the mounting portion 11. The mixer assembly 30 includes a mixing barrel 31 and a stirring blade 35 located within the mixing barrel 31. The mixing barrel 31 is used to contain powder and water. The powder to be mixed can fall into the mixing barrel 31 from the upper opening of the mixing barrel 31. The liquid input line 12 is connected to the support base 10, and the water to be mixed can be transported into the mixing barrel 31 through the liquid input line 12 connected to the mixing barrel 31. The motor 40 drives the stirring blade 35 to rotate around the first rotation axis Z1, thereby stirring the mixture in the mixing barrel 31. Along the horizontal direction, the axis of the motor 40 and the first rotation axis Z1 are staggered. The staggered arrangement may be parallel or intersecting, that is, the axis of the motor 40 and the first rotation axis Z1 are not collinear.

[0054] Among them, the mixing equipment 100 also includes a transmission mechanism, which is arranged between the motor 40 and the stirring blade 35. The transmission mechanism includes a first transmission member 41 and a second transmission member 42. The first transmission member 41 is arranged on the mounting portion 11 and is transmission-connected to the motor 40, and the second transmission member 42 is transmission-connected to the stirring blade 35; the mixer assembly 30 is detachably connected to the mounting portion 11; the second transmission member 42 and the mixer assembly 30 are connected or separated from the mounting portion 11 as a whole, which is very convenient for users to disassemble and assemble.

[0055] By connecting or disconnecting the second transmission member 42 and the mixer assembly 30 as a whole to the mounting portion 11, the user can disassemble the mixer assembly 30 for subsequent cleaning. Disassembly and assembly only require separation or connection along the corresponding direction, and no professional personnel are required to perform disassembly and maintenance, thereby reducing the user's maintenance cost for the mixing device 100.

[0056] In particular, the axis of the motor 40 is parallel to the first rotation axis Z1 of the stirring blade 35; the mixer assembly 30 and the mounting portion 11 are arranged along the first direction (eg Figure 1The motor 40 and the first rotation axis Z1 of the stirring blade 35 are connected or disconnected in the direction indicated by the arrow R in the middle. The axis of the motor 40 and the first rotation axis Z1 of the stirring blade 35 are arranged side by side perpendicular to the first direction. In this embodiment, the direction of disassembly and installation of the mixer assembly 30 is defined as the first direction, and the first direction is parallel to the horizontal direction. The direction of disassembly of the mixer assembly 30 is defined as the front side of the first direction, and the direction of installation of the mixer assembly 30 is defined as the rear side of the first direction. The two sides of the first direction are defined as the left and right sides respectively. The direction along the first rotation axis Z1 of the stirring blade 35 is the vertical direction. The axis of the motor 40 and the first rotation axis Z1 of the stirring blade 35 are arranged side by side on the left and right sides. It can also be considered that the first transmission member 41 and the second transmission member 42 are arranged side by side. The first transmission member 41 and the second transmission member 42 are both configured as gears. As the two gears rotate and engage and disengage, the disassembly and installation of the mixer assembly 30 is convenient. Among them, the liquid input pipeline 12 can also be configured to communicate with the mixing barrel 31 along the first direction. When the mixer assembly 30 is connected or disconnected from the mounting portion 11, the water channel is connected and disconnected at the same time.

[0057] Reference Figures 2 to 7 The mixer assembly 30 further includes a coupling portion 33 detachably connected to the bottom of the mixing barrel 31. The coupling portion 33 includes a transmission shaft 331 respectively connected to the second transmission member 42 and the stirring blade 35. The stirring blade 35 is arranged on one side of the coupling portion 33 along the axial direction, and the second transmission member 42 is arranged on the other side of the coupling portion 33 along the axial direction. In this embodiment, the axial direction of the coupling portion 33 is the axial direction of the transmission shaft 331. The provision of the coupling portion 33 can provide support for the transmission shaft 331, making the transmission between the motor 40 and the stirring blade 35 more reliable. In addition, the coupling portion 33 can provide a reliable installation space for the support component 341 of the transmission shaft 331, and is also convenient for sealing.

[0058] The coupling portion 33 may include an upper cover 332 and a lower cover 333, which are assembled together using screws. A support space 34 is defined between the upper cover 332 and the lower cover 333, and a support component 341, such as a bearing or a sleeve, may be installed within the support space 34. A sealing ring 336 is provided between the transmission shaft 331 and the upper cover 332 to prevent liquid within the mixing barrel 31 from leaking through the gap between the transmission shaft 331 and the upper cover 332. The upper cover 332 also includes a mounting boss 335, which extends into the interior of the mixing barrel 31. A sealing ring 337 is provided between the mounting boss 335 and the interior of the mixing barrel 31 to prevent liquid within the mixing barrel 31 from leaking through the gap between the mixing barrel 31 and the upper cover 332. The provision of the sealing ring 336 and the sealing ring 337 ensures that liquid within the mixing barrel 31 does not leak downward into the coupling portion 33, the transmission mechanism, or the motor 40.

[0059] In addition, to further enhance the sealing effect, the sealing ring 336 is located in the support space 34 and is further connected to a first guide ring 342. The bearing is supported on a bearing support portion 344 on the lower cover 333. One axial end of the first guide ring 342 forms a constricted portion 3421, which extends into the inner side of the sealing ring 336. The first guide ring 342 also includes a widened portion 3422 connected below the constricted portion 3421 and sleeved around the outer circumference of the bearing support portion 344. If liquid flows out between the sealing ring 336 and the upper cover 332, it can be guided outward from the bearing support portion 344 through the first guide ring 342. Furthermore, a second guide ring 343 is provided on the transmission shaft 331, offset from the constricted portion 3421. This second guide ring 343 is positioned inside the first guide ring 342. The radial dimension or diameter of the second guide ring 343 is larger than that of the bearing. If liquid leaks between the seal ring 336 and the transmission shaft 331, it can be directed through the second guide ring 343 toward the bearing support 344. A drain port 346 is provided on the lower cover 333. This drain port 346 is located on the side of the coupling 33 corresponding to the second transmission member 42 and further away from the first transmission member 41. Due to the sealing structure within the coupling 33, even if water leaks, the amount is relatively small and can be guided by the first and second guide rings 342 and 343 before being discharged through the drain port 346 in the lower cover 333. When water flows out of the drain port 346, it will not directly contact or diffuse onto the first transmission member 41. The first guide ring 342 and the second guide ring 343 can be constructed with the same or similar material as the sealing ring 336, which can not only guide the liquid but also further improve the sealing effect.

[0060] Furthermore, a sealing member 349 is provided between the bearing support portion 344 and the transmission shaft 331 . The sealing member 349 can be provided between the second transmission member 42 and the support component 341 . The sealing member 349 can be an oil seal for preventing water from entering during cleaning.

[0061] In this embodiment, the coupling portion 33 can be removed along with the mixing barrel 31 and can be further removed from the mixing barrel 31. To prevent water from entering the coupling portion 33 due to improper operation during cleaning, a drain valve 36 is provided within the support space 34 of the coupling portion 33. The drain valve 36 can open or close the drain port 346 as the mixer assembly 30 is connected or disconnected from the mounting portion 11. The drain valve 36 automatically opens and closes the drain port 346 as the mixer assembly 30 is installed or removed, eliminating the inconvenience of cleaning the mixer assembly 30 while preventing water from entering the coupling portion 33 and extending the service life of the mixer assembly 30.

[0062] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6The drain valve 36 includes a valve body 361 and an elastic element 362 acting on the valve body 361. A docking block 116 is provided on the mounting portion 11. The docking block 116 abuts against the valve body 361. The valve body 361 overcomes the action of the elastic element 362, thereby allowing the valve body 361 to open the discharge port 346. The docking block 116 is provided on the mounting portion 11. The discharge port 346 can be opened while the mixer assembly 30 is installed, without the need for additional user operation. The elastic element 362 is constructed as a compression spring. One end of the compression spring is sleeved on the support rib 347 on the upper cover 332, and the other end of the compression spring presses against the valve body 361. The valve body 361 is constructed in a columnar shape and includes a cap portion 3611 and a plug portion 3612 along the axial direction. A portion of the compression spring extends into the cap portion 3611, and the plug portion 3622 has an axially arranged groove 363. The groove 363 can be one or multiple circumferentially spaced grooves. A sealing element 364 is sleeved on the valve body 361 and is located between the cap portion 3611 and the plug portion 3622. The diameter of the cap portion 3611 is larger than the diameter of the discharge port 346. When the mixer assembly 30 is removed from the mounting portion 11 and the valve body 361 moves downward, the sealing element 364 seals the discharge port 346. The cap portion 3611 can also prevent the drain valve 36 from being directly popped out. When the mixer assembly 30 is connected to the mounting portion 11 and the valve body 361 moves upward, the discharge port 346 can communicate with the inside and outside of the joint 33 through the groove 363.

[0063] In this embodiment, preferably, the coupling portion 33 rotates relative to the mixing barrel 31 to limit or allow the mixer assembly 30 to separate from the mounting portion 11. By rotating the coupling portion 33, the mixer assembly 30 can be locked with or unlocked from the mounting portion 11, ensuring the reliable use of the mixing device 100. Moreover, there is no need to set up an additional locking structure, and it is achieved by the mixer assembly 30 itself, which makes the structure simpler. Among them, the coupling portion 33 serves as a locking component, and the rotation of the locking component relative to the mixing barrel 31 can achieve abutment or separation with the mounting portion 11 along the first direction. Of course, the locking component can be one of the upper cover 332 or the lower cover 333, or other components on the coupling portion 33, and the abutment and separation with the mounting portion 11 along the first direction achieve locking and unlocking. The structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0064] Of course, the locking component can also be a component independent of the coupling portion 33. The locking component is connected to the mixing barrel 31, and can be directly connected or indirectly connected through other components. The locking component can move relative to the mixing barrel 31, and the locking component is relatively fixed to the mixing barrel 31 along the first direction; the locking component switches between a locked state and an unlocked state relative to the mounting portion 11. In the locked state, the mounting portion 11 restricts the locking component from moving along the first direction; in the unlocked state, the mounting portion 11 releases the locking component, and the locking component is allowed to move along the first direction. Providing a locking component connected to the mixing barrel 31 not only facilitates cooperation with the mounting portion 11, but also facilitates locking and unlocking of the mixer assembly 30 relative to the mounting portion 11, while ensuring reliable use of the mixer assembly 30.

[0065] The locking component includes a gripping portion 371. The mounting portion 11 includes a housing cavity 110 for receiving the mixer assembly 30. Along a first direction, the mounting portion 11 includes an inner side where the housing cavity 110 is located and an opposing outer side. The gripping portion 371 is located on the outer side and is operable to rotate the locking component between a locked and unlocked state. The provision of the gripping portion 371 on the locking component allows for one-touch operation for unlocking and removing, as well as installing and locking the mixer assembly 30, providing significant user convenience. In this embodiment, the inner side refers to the rear side, and the outer side refers to the front side.

[0066] Preferably, the first rotation axis Z1 is arranged in the vertical direction and is perpendicular to the first direction, that is, the first direction is parallel to the horizontal direction, and the rotation axis of the locking component is coaxial with the first rotation axis Z1, which facilitates the assembly and positioning of the locking component and the mixing barrel 31. The rotating surface of the stirring blade 35 is roughly perpendicular to the powder falling direction, which can prevent blockage when the water-powder is relatively low (high concentration). The mixing barrel 31 includes a feed chamber 311 and a mixing chamber 312 connected in the vertical direction, and the stirring blade 35 is located in the mixing chamber 312. The locking component includes a connecting body arranged concentrically with the stirring blade 35, that is, the main part of the lower cover 33 is constructed as a connecting body, and the gripping portion 371 extends outward from the outer periphery of the connecting body, and the connecting body is arranged below the mixing chamber. The rotation axis of the connecting body is concentric with the stirring blade 35, which facilitates the positioning and connection of the connecting body.

[0067] Reference Figures 8 to 10The mounting portion 11 includes a top plate 113, a bottom plate 112, and side plates 114. The top plate 113 and the bottom plate 112 are arranged vertically opposite each other. The side plates 114 connect the top plate 113 and the bottom plate 112. The top plate 113, the bottom plate 112, and the side plates 114 collectively define a housing chamber 110. The side plates 114 include a left side plate and a right side plate. The housing chamber 110 has a mounting opening 111. The top plate 113 is provided with a clearance groove 115 that communicates with the mounting opening 111. The mixer assembly 30 enters the clearance groove 115 from the mounting opening 111 in a first direction. A portion of the mixer assembly 30 is located within the housing chamber 110 and is restrained by the top plate 113 along the first rotation axis Z1. The first rotation axis Z1 is oriented vertically. The mounting portion 11 restrains the mixer assembly 30 in the vertical direction, ensuring reliable operation of the mixer assembly 30. Specifically, a skirt 314 extends radially outward from the bottom of the mixing chamber 312, which is restrained by the top plate 113. The skirt 314 not only facilitates vertical positioning of the mixing barrel 31 but also increases the contact area between the mixing barrel 31 and the joint 33, ensuring stable support for the mixing barrel 31. Furthermore, the mixing chamber 312 is located above the mounting portion 11, facilitating the dispensing of the mixed liquid.

[0068] Furthermore, the connecting body includes two sections of arcuate walls 373 and two sections of straight walls 375 arranged opposite to each other. The two sections of straight walls 375 are arranged opposite to each other and respectively connect the two sections of arcuate walls 373. The two sections of arcuate walls 373 are arranged concentrically with the stirring blades 35. The distance between the two sections of straight walls 375 is equivalent to the width of the installation opening 111. The installation portion 11 is provided with a blocking wall 117. In the locked state, one section of the straight wall 375 abuts against the blocking wall 117; in the unlocked state, the two sections of straight walls 375 are flush with the installation opening 111 respectively. The connecting body is locked and unlocked with the installation portion 11 by rotating, utilizing its circular shape. The structure is simple and easy to operate. The side panel 114 of the accommodating chamber 110 can match the shape of the arcuate wall 373 to ensure a more reliable structure. Among them, the gripping portion 371 can extend outward along a direction flush with the straight wall 375 abutting the blocking wall 117. In the unlocked position, the gripping portion 371 extends outward approximately along the first direction, with a larger gripping area and less effort in operation. In the locked position, the gripping portion 371 can be closer to the support seat 10, taking up less space. The blocking wall 117 can be a part of the side panel 114, used to cooperate with one section of the straight wall 375 in the locked position to prevent the connecting body from excessive rotation. The straight wall 375 that cooperates with the blocking wall 117 is connected to the gripping portion 371. This section of the straight wall 375 is longer and can abut against the mounting opening 111 when the connecting body is rotated to the unlocked position, thereby preventing the connecting body from excessive rotation.

[0069] In this embodiment, the locking component is the coupling portion 33. In other practicable embodiments, the locking component may also be one of the upper cover 332 or the lower cover 333, or may be a component different from the upper cover 332 or the lower cover 333, such as a connecting ring movably mounted on the coupling portion 33, or a connecting ring movably mounted on the mixing barrel 31.

[0070] Next, the disassembly and assembly process of the mixer assembly 30 will be described in detail. Figure 1 and Figure 4 The mixer assembly 30 is shown in a locked state. When the mixer assembly 30 needs to be cleaned, force is applied to the gripping portion 371 in the unlocking direction. The gripping portion 371 drives the locking component coupling portion 33 to rotate relative to the mounting portion 11, wherein a section of the straight wall 375 separates from the blocking wall 117 until the section of the straight wall 375 abuts against the side wall of the mounting opening 111. The locking of the locking component and the mounting portion 11 in the first direction is released. Figure 8 and Figure 9 The mixer assembly 30 is shown in an unlocked state. Because the locking component rotates relative to the mixing barrel 31, the mixing barrel 31 remains stationary relative to the support base 10 during the unlocking process. After unlocking, the gripping portion 371 is moved outward, and the gripping portion 371 drives the locking component coupling portion 33, the mixing barrel 31, and the second transmission member 42 to separate from the support base 10. The mixer assembly 30 can be unlocked, removed, installed, and locked on the mounting portion 11 by operating the gripping portion 371. The one-touch operation of the gripping portion 371 greatly simplifies the user's operating steps, improves the user experience, and thus provides convenience to the user. If it is necessary to further separate the locking component and the mixing barrel 31, the locking component coupling portion 33 can be directly moved relative to the mixing barrel 31 along the first rotation axis Z1 direction of the stirring blade 35 to separate them. If it is necessary to clean the stirring blade 35 separately, the stirring blade 35 can be removed from the transmission shaft 331, cleaned, and then installed back in place one by one. The entire mixer assembly 30 can be disassembled from the support base 10 for more thorough cleaning. At the same time, there is no need to disassemble the motor together, and there is no need to set a corresponding clearance structure for the motor. The space utilization rate of the machine is higher and the disassembly operation is convenient for the user.

[0071] Reference Figures 11 to 18As shown, in another preferred embodiment, the mixing device 200 includes a support base 10, a mixer assembly 30a mounted on the support base 10, and a motor 40 disposed on the support base 10. The support base 10 has a mounting portion 11, and the mixer assembly 30a is connected to the mounting portion 11. The mixer assembly 30a includes a mixing barrel 31 and a stirring blade 35 located in the mixing barrel 31. The motor 40 is used to drive the stirring blade 35 to rotate around the first rotation axis Z1, thereby stirring the mixture in the mixing barrel 31. The mixer assembly 30a can be one, two, or more, and two or more mixer assemblies 30a are provided based on the different powders to be mixed.

[0072] Among them, the mixing equipment 200 also includes a transmission mechanism arranged between the motor 40 and the stirring blade 35, the transmission mechanism includes a first transmission member 41 and a second transmission member 42, the first transmission member 41 is arranged on the mounting portion 11 and is transmission-connected to the motor 40, and the second transmission member 42 is transmission-connected to the stirring blade 35; the mixer assembly 30a is detachably connected to the mounting portion 11; the second transmission member 42 and the mixer assembly 30a can be connected to or separated from the mounting portion 11 as a whole, which is very convenient for users to disassemble and assemble.

[0073] Preferably, the mixer assembly 30a is detachably connected to the mounting portion 11 along a first direction, the liquid input line 12 is connected to the support base 10, and the liquid input line 12 is connected to the mixing cylinder 31 along the first direction. The mixer assembly 30a can connect or disconnect the water channel when it is installed or removed.

[0074] The axis of the motor 40 is parallel to the first rotational axis Z1 of the mixing blade 35. The axis of the motor 40 and the rotational axis Z1 of the mixing blade 35 are arranged side by side along a first direction. That is, the rotational axis Z1 of the mixing blade 35 and the axis of the motor 40 are arranged side by side, front and back. The first transmission member 41 and the second transmission member 42 are also arranged side by side. Both the first transmission member 41 and the second transmission member 42 are configured as gears. The side-by-side arrangement of the two gears reduces effort in engaging and disengaging the gears, facilitating easy disassembly and installation of the mixer assembly 30.

[0075] Reference Figure 16 and Figure 17The mixer assembly 30a also includes a coupling portion 33a detachably connected to the bottom of the mixing barrel 31. The coupling portion 33a includes a transmission shaft 331 that connects the second transmission member 42 and the stirring blade 35. The stirring blade 35 is arranged on one axial side of the coupling portion 33a, and the second transmission member 42 is arranged on the other axial side of the coupling portion 33a. The coupling portion 33a may include an upper cover 332a and a lower cover 333a. The upper cover 332a and the lower cover 333a are assembled together by screws. A support space 34 is defined between the upper cover 332a and the lower cover 333a. A support component 341, such as a bearing or a bushing, can be installed in the support space 34. A sealing ring 336 is provided between the transmission shaft 331 and the upper cover 332a to prevent liquid in the mixing barrel 31 from leaking through the gap between the transmission shaft 331 and the upper cover 332a. A portion of the lower cover 333a protrudes upward and extends into the interior of the mixing barrel 31 together with the upper cover 332a. A sealing ring 337 is provided between the lower cover 333a and the interior of the mixing barrel 31 to prevent the liquid in the mixing barrel 31 from leaking through the gap between the mixing barrel 31 and the lower cover 333a.

[0076] In this embodiment, the coupling portion 33a preferably rotates relative to the mixing barrel 31 to restrict or allow the mixer assembly 30a to separate from the mounting portion 11. By rotating the coupling portion 33a, the mixer assembly 30a can be locked with or unlocked from the mounting portion 11, ensuring reliable use of the mixing device 200. Furthermore, there is no need to provide an additional locking structure, as this is achieved by the mixer assembly 30a itself, resulting in a simpler structure. The coupling portion 33a is configured as a locking component, which can be brought into contact with or separated from the mounting portion 11 along a first direction by rotating relative to the mixing barrel 31. The locking component can also be one of the upper cover 332a or the lower cover 333a, or other components connected to the mounting box 33a, which can be locked or unlocked by abutting or separating with the mounting portion 11 along the first direction. This is structurally simple and easy to manufacture.

[0077] Of course, the locking component can also be a component independent of the coupling portion 33a. The locking component is movably connected to the mixing barrel 31 and is relatively fixed to the mixing barrel 31 along a first direction. The locking component 31a switches between a locked state and an unlocked state relative to the mounting portion 11. In the locked state, the mounting portion 11 restricts the movement of the locking component along the first direction; in the unlocked state, the mounting portion 11 releases the locking component and allows the locking component to move along the first direction. The locking component includes a gripping portion 371a, and the mounting portion 11 includes a housing 110 for receiving the mixer assembly 30a. Along the first direction, the mounting portion 11 includes an inner side where the housing 110 is provided and an opposite outer side. The gripping portion 371a is located on the outer side and can operably drive the locking component to rotate between the locked state and the unlocked state. In this embodiment, the inner side is the rear side, and the outer side is the front side.

[0078] Preferably, the first rotation axis Z1 is arranged in a vertical direction and perpendicular to the first direction, and the rotation axis of the locking component is coaxial with the first rotation axis Z1, which facilitates assembly and positioning of the locking component with the mixing barrel 31. The mixing barrel 31 includes a feed chamber 311 and a mixing chamber 312 connected in a vertical direction. The stirring blade 35 is located in the mixing chamber 312. The locking component includes a connecting body arranged concentrically with the stirring blade 35. The connecting body is the main portion of the lower cover 333a. The gripping portion 371a extends outward from the outer periphery of the connecting body. The connecting body is arranged below the mixing chamber 312. The rotation axis of the connecting body is concentric with the first rotation axis Z1 of the stirring blade 35, which facilitates positioning and connection of the connecting body.

[0079] The mounting portion 11 includes a top plate 113, a bottom plate 112, and side plates 114. The top plate 113 and the bottom plate 112 are vertically opposed to each other, and the side plates 114 connect the top plate 113 and the bottom plate 112. The top plate 113, the bottom plate 112, and the side plates 114 collectively define a housing chamber 110. The side plates 114 include a left side plate and a right side plate. The housing chamber 110 has a mounting opening 111. The top plate 113 is provided with a clearance groove 115 that communicates with the mounting opening 111. The mixer assembly 30a enters the clearance groove 115 from the mounting opening 111 in a first direction. A portion of the mixer assembly 30a is located within the housing chamber 110 and is restrained by the top plate 113 along the first rotation axis Z1. Specifically, the mixing barrel 31 includes a constricted portion 313, which is disposed at the junction of the feed chamber 311 and the mixing chamber 312. The constricted portion 313 enters the clearance groove 115, and the top wall of the mixing chamber 312 is restrained by the top plate 113. The structure of the mixing barrel 31 itself provides vertical restraint, making the installation of the mixer assembly 30a more secure.

[0080] Furthermore, the connecting body includes two arcuate walls 373a arranged concentrically with the first rotation axis Z1 of the mixing blade 35. The two arcuate walls 373a are spaced circumferentially apart, forming a first notch 376 and a second notch 377 spaced circumferentially therebetween. The mounting portion 11 is provided with a stopper 118. In the locked state, one of the arcuate walls 373a abuts the stopper 118. In the unlocked state, the first notch 376 corresponds to the position of the stopper 118, and the second notch 377 corresponds to the position of the first transmission member 41. The first notch 376 cooperates with the stopper 118 to unlock the connecting body, while the second notch 377 prevents interference between the two arcuate walls 373a and the first transmission member 41 during installation or removal of the mixer assembly 30. The opening size of the second notch 377 is larger than that of the first notch 376, facilitating the docking of the first and second transmission members 41, 42, and preventing the arcuate walls 373a from contacting the first transmission member 41 during rotation of the connecting body. The connecting body is rotated to unlock the mounting portion 11 using two curved walls and two notches, resulting in a simple structure and easy operation. The grip portion 371a extends radially forward from the position corresponding to the first notch 376, facilitating better grip during unlocking and reducing effort.

[0081] In addition, claws 378 are respectively provided on the two arcuate walls 373a, and blocks 148 are respectively provided on the two side panels 114a to cooperate with the claws 378. The claws 378 on the two arcuate walls 373a engage and disengage with the corresponding blocks 148 in opposite directions. The provision of the mutually cooperating claws 378 and blocks 148 not only makes the installation of the mixer assembly 30a more reliable, but also makes the locking and unlocking operation more user-friendly.

[0082] Next, the disassembly and assembly process of the mixer assembly 30a will be described in detail. Figure 11 The cleaning mixer assembly 30a on the left side is in a locked state. When the cleaning mixer assembly 30a needs to be cleaned, force is applied to the gripping portion 371a along the unlocking direction. The gripping portion 371a drives the locking component coupling portion 33a to rotate relative to the mounting portion 11, and the claw 378 and the block 148 are disengaged until the first notch 376 corresponds to the position of the stopper 118. The locking component and the mounting portion 11 are unlocked along the first direction. Figure 11The cleaning mixer assembly 30a on the middle right is in an unlocked state. Because the locking component rotates relative to the mixing barrel 31, the mixing barrel 31 remains stationary relative to the support base 10 during the unlocking process. After unlocking, the operating grip portion 371a is moved outward in the first direction. The grip portion 371a will drive the locking component coupling portion 33a, the mixing barrel 31, and the second transmission member 42 to separate from the support base 10. If it is necessary to further separate the locking component and the mixing barrel 31, the locking component can be directly moved relative to the mixing barrel 31 in the direction of the first rotation axis Z1 of the stirring blade 35 to separate them. If it is necessary to clean the stirring blade 35 separately, the stirring blade 35 can be removed from the transmission shaft 331, cleaned, and then installed back in place one by one.

[0083] Reference Figures 19 to 22 As shown, in another preferred embodiment, a mixing device 300 includes a support base 10, a mixer assembly 30b mounted on the support base 10, and a motor 40 disposed on the support base 10. The support base 10 has a mounting portion 11, and the mixer assembly 30b is connected to the mounting portion 11. The mixer assembly 30b includes a mixing barrel 31 and a stirring blade 35 located within the mixing barrel 31. The motor 40 is configured to drive the stirring blade 35 to rotate about a first rotation axis Z1, thereby stirring the mixture within the mixing barrel 31.

[0084] Among them, the mixing equipment 300 also includes a transmission mechanism arranged between the motor 40 and the stirring blade 35, the transmission mechanism includes a first transmission member 41 and a second transmission member 42, the first transmission member 41 is arranged on the mounting portion 11 and is transmission-connected to the motor 40, and the second transmission member 42 is transmission-connected to the stirring blade 35; the liquid input pipeline 12 is connected to the support seat 10, and the liquid input pipeline 12 is connected to the mixing barrel 31 along the first direction, and the mixer assembly 30b is detachably connected to the mounting portion 11; along the first direction, the second transmission member 42 and the mixer assembly 30b are connected or separated from the mounting portion 11 as a whole, which is very convenient for users to disassemble and assemble.

[0085] Specifically, the axis of the motor 40 is parallel to the first rotational axis Z1 of the stirring blade 35, and the axis of the motor 40 and the first rotational axis Z1 of the stirring blade 35 are arranged side by side along a first direction. That is, the first rotational axis Z1 of the stirring blade 35 and the axis of the motor 40 are arranged side by side in a front-to-back manner, and the first transmission member 41 and the second transmission member 42 can also be considered to be arranged side by side. Both the first transmission member 41 and the second transmission member 42 are configured as gears. The front-to-back arrangement of the two gears makes engagement and disengagement operations more labor-efficient, facilitating disassembly and installation of the mixer assembly 30b.

[0086] Reference Figure 21 and 22The mixer assembly 30b also includes a coupling portion 33b that is detachably connected to the bottom of the mixing barrel 31. The coupling portion 33b includes a transmission shaft 331 that connects the second transmission member 42 and the stirring blade 35. The stirring blade 35 is arranged on one axial side of the coupling portion 33b, and the second transmission member 42 is arranged on the other axial side of the coupling portion 33b. The coupling portion 33b may include an upper cover 332b and a lower cover 333b. The upper cover 332b and the lower cover 333b are assembled together by screws. A support space 34 is defined between the upper cover 332b and the lower cover 333b. A support component 341, such as a bearing or a bushing, can be installed in the support space 34. A sealing ring 336 is provided between the transmission shaft 331 and the upper cover 332b to prevent liquid in the mixing barrel 31 from leaking through the gap between the transmission shaft 331 and the upper cover 332b. A portion of the lower cover 333b protrudes upward and extends into the upper cover 332b. The upper cover 332b extends into the interior of the mixing barrel 31, and the bottom edge of the mixing barrel 31 can abut against the lower cover 333b. A sealing ring 337 is provided between the upper cover 332b and the interior of the mixing barrel 31 to prevent liquid in the mixing barrel 31 from leaking through the gap between the mixing barrel 31 and the upper cover 332b.

[0087] In this embodiment, the coupling portion 33b is preferably fixed relative to the mixing barrel 31, wherein the coupling portion 33b is connected to the locking component, which can be considered to be a component independent of the coupling portion 33b. The locking component is movably connected to the mixing barrel 31 via the coupling portion 33b, and the locking component is indirectly connected to the mixing barrel 31. The locking component is fixed relative to the mixing barrel 31 along the first direction; the locking component switches between a locked state and an unlocked state relative to the mounting portion 11. In the locked state, the mounting portion 11 restricts the locking component from moving in the first direction; in the unlocked state, the mounting portion 11 releases the locking component, allowing the locking component to move in the first direction.

[0088] The locking member includes a gripping portion 371b. The mounting portion 11 includes a receiving cavity 110 for receiving the mixer assembly 30b. Along a first direction, the mounting portion 11 includes an inner side where the receiving cavity 110 is located and an opposing outer side. The gripping portion 371b is located on the outer side and is operable to rotate the locking member between a locked and unlocked state. In this embodiment, the inner side is the rear side, and the outer side is the front side.

[0089] Preferably, the first rotation axis Z1 is arranged in the vertical direction and is perpendicular to the first direction, and the second rotation axis Y of the locking component is parallel to the first direction, so as to facilitate the cooperation between the locking component and the mounting portion 11. The mixing barrel 31 includes a feeding chamber 311 and a mixing chamber 312 connected in the vertical direction, and the stirring blade 35 is located in the mixing chamber 312. The mounting portion 11 includes a top plate 113, a bottom plate 112 and a side plate 114. The top plate 113 and the bottom plate 112 are arranged opposite to each other in the vertical direction. The side plate 114 connects the top plate 113 and the bottom plate 112. The top plate 113, the bottom plate 112 and the side plate 114 together define the accommodating chamber 110, wherein the side plate 114 includes a left plate and a right plate. The accommodating chamber 110 has an installation opening 111. A clearance groove 115 is provided on the top plate 113, communicating with the installation opening 111. The mixer assembly 30b enters the clearance groove 115 from the installation opening 111 along a first direction. A portion of the mixer assembly 30b is located within the accommodating chamber 110 and is restrained by the top plate 113 along the direction of the first rotation axis Z1. Specifically, the mixing barrel 31 includes a constricted portion 313, which is disposed at the junction of the feed chamber 311 and the mixing chamber 312. The constricted portion 313 enters the clearance groove 115, and the top wall of the mixing chamber 312 is restrained by the top plate 113. The structure of the mixing barrel 31 itself provides vertical restraint, making the installation of the mixer assembly 30b more secure.

[0090] Furthermore, a guide block 38 is provided on the rear side of the coupling portion 33b, and ribs 381 extending along the first direction are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the guide block 38. The accommodating cavity 110 is provided with limiting ribs 138. The guide block 38 guides the mixer assembly 30b to be installed into the mounting opening 111 through the ribs 381 on both sides. The guide block 38 is located below the limiting ribs 138 to further achieve vertical limitation of the mixer assembly 30b through the limiting ribs 138.

[0091] The locking component is connected to the front side of the coupling portion 33b. The locking component is configured as a knob 37. The circumferential surface of the knob 37 is configured as a grip portion 371b. The locking component also includes a locking block 372 that protrudes from the grip portion 371b. The mounting portion 11 is provided with a locking slot 137. The grip portion 371b moves relative to the mixing barrel 31 to allow the locking block 372 to extend into or out of the locking slot 137. In this embodiment, the locking component rotates about an axis parallel to the first direction, and the locking block 372 can protrude radially from the knob 37.

[0092] Next, the disassembly and assembly process of the mixer assembly 30b will be described in detail. Figure 19The cleaning mixer assembly 30b on the left side is in a locked state. When the mixer assembly 30b needs to be cleaned, it is rotated along the unlocking direction indicated on the knob 37. The knob 37 drives the locking block 372 to disengage from the locking groove 137 on the mounting portion 11. The lock between the mixer assembly 30b and the mounting portion 11 in the first direction is released. During the unlocking process, it is only necessary to rotate the knob 37. Figure 19 The cleaning mixer assembly 30b on the middle right is in the unlocked state. After unlocking, the grip knob 37 is moved outward, and the knob 37 will drive the coupling part 33b, the mixing barrel 31 and the second transmission member 42 to separate from the support base 10. If it is necessary to continue to separate the coupling part 33b and the mixing barrel 31, the coupling part 33b can be separated by moving relative to the mixing barrel 31 along the first rotation axis Z1 direction of the stirring blade 35. If it is necessary to clean the stirring blade 35, remove the stirring blade 35 from the transmission shaft 331, clean it, and then install it back to its original position one by one.

[0093] In the above embodiment, at least part of the cavity surface of the feed chamber 311 is a circular arc surface, and the conveying direction of the liquid input pipeline 12 is preferably tangent to the circular arc surface, so that the conveyed liquid and water can flow along the cavity circumference of the feed chamber 311 to pass through more cavity surfaces. That is, the outlet water flow rotates along the wall surface of the mixing barrel 31 to flush the powder on the inner wall, thereby preventing the fallen powder from adhering to the cavity surface of the feed chamber 311, and can also create vortexes to effectively dissolve the powder in the liquid or water. In addition, the mixing barrel 31 is provided with an output pipeline 315 connected to the mixing chamber 312. The conveying direction of the output pipeline 315 is preferably tangent to the outer peripheral surface of the stirring blade 35, so that the mixed liquid can be thrown out under the action of the stirring blade 35, facilitating liquid discharge.

[0094] In the present invention, the second transmission member and the mixer assembly are connected or disconnected from the mounting portion as a whole, allowing the user to disassemble the mixer assembly for subsequent cleaning. Disassembly and assembly only requires separation or connection along the corresponding direction, which is simple, convenient, and labor-saving for the user. Disassembly and maintenance by professionals is not required, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the user's mixing equipment. Removing the entire mixer assembly from the support base allows for more thorough cleaning, and there is no need to remove the motor as well, eliminating the need for a corresponding clearance structure for the motor. This improves the space utilization of the machine and facilitates disassembly operations.

This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each implementation method can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0096] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of feasible implementation methods of the present invention.
