Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of smoothie machine technology, and in particular to a vertical smoothie machine with a detachable discharge assembly. Background Technology
[0002] During use, ice, fruit scraps, or syrup can easily remain, accumulate, or dry out at the outlet of a smoothie machine. The detachable design allows users to completely remove the outlet for direct flushing or brushing, avoiding cleaning dead spots, preventing bacterial growth and odor transfer, and ensuring hygiene and safety for the next use. Traditional detachable discharge assembly includes a discharge valve body, a discharge handle, and a valve core. The valve core is movably installed in the valve cavity of the discharge valve body. The discharge handle is installed on the discharge valve body via a rotating shaft and is movably connected to the valve core to drive the valve core to open and close. The discharge valve body has a valve body interface that connects to the valve cavity and a valve body outlet. The discharge valve body is fastened to the material bucket of the smoothie machine by means of clips or bolts, and the valve body interface is connected to the discharge port of the material bucket.
[0003] However, traditional detachable discharge components still have the following disadvantages: 1. The sealing structure between the valve body interface and the discharge port of the material tank has weak sealing performance and is prone to leakage; 2. The detachable structure between the discharge valve body and the material tank is cumbersome to disassemble and requires tools, which is very inconvenient; 3. The valve core is difficult to separate from the discharge valve body, making it difficult to clean and easily creating dead corners. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a vertical smoothie machine with a detachable discharge assembly to solve the above problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a vertical smoothie machine with a detachable discharge assembly, including a material barrel, the material barrel having a discharge port, and a detachable discharge valve assembly. The discharge valve assembly has a valve body interface, and a connecting protrusion is provided on the inner side of the discharge valve assembly. The connecting protrusion has a valve body locking pin hole that extends through the valve body from left to right. A discharge mounting plate is provided on each side of the discharge port, and these two discharge mounting plates each have a valve locking pin hole that extends through the valve from left to right. The locking pin holes are horizontally aligned; a material valve limiting plate is also provided on the front side of the material barrel. The outer edge of the material valve limiting plate is formed with a notched limiting slot. The material valve limiting plate is located above the material valve locking pin hole. The upper middle part of the discharge valve assembly is limited and matched with the limiting slot of the material valve limiting plate. The valve body interface is movably sleeved on the discharge port. A discharge sealing ring is sandwiched between the two. A locking pin rod is inserted between the material valve locking pin hole and the valve body locking pin hole on both sides. The discharge valve assembly is fastened to the material barrel by the locking pin rod.
[0006] In a further technical solution, a material outlet sealing convex ring is formed on the outer side of the material outlet. The material outlet sealing convex ring is arranged to close along the edge direction of the material outlet, and a labyrinth-like annular space is formed between the material outlet sealing convex ring and the material outlet. A concave rubber ring limiting sleeve groove is formed on the back surface of the material outlet sealing ring. The rubber ring limiting sleeve groove is matched with the material outlet sealing convex ring. During assembly, the rubber ring limiting sleeve groove of the material outlet sealing ring is sleeved on the material outlet sealing convex ring to achieve the assembly positioning between the material outlet sealing ring and the material outlet.
[0007] In a further technical solution, an anti-drop convex is formed on the outer wall of the material outlet sealing convex ring and protrudes outward; a concave anti-drop clamping groove is formed on the inner wall near the outer side of the rubber ring limiting sleeve groove of the material outlet sealing ring. When the rubber ring limiting sleeve groove is sleeved on the material outlet sealing convex ring, at the same time, the anti-drop convex is clamped in the anti-drop clamping groove of the material outlet sealing ring to prevent accidental detachment during pre-assembly of the material outlet sealing ring.
[0008] In a further technical solution, a sealing gasket ring protruding towards the center is formed on the inner ring of the material outlet sealing ring. When the material outlet sealing ring is pre-assembled on the material outlet sealing convex ring, the sealing gasket ring is embedded in the annular space; a protruding pressure convex ring is formed on the end face of the valve body interface. The valve body interface is sleeved on the material outlet and is embedded in the annular space. The valve body interface and its pressure convex ring simultaneously press on the sealing gasket ring of the material outlet sealing ring to form an airtight structure between the material outlet and the valve body interface.
[0009] In a further technical solution, both sides of the material valve limiting plate are respectively formed and connected to the corresponding material valve limiting plates to form a "冂"-shaped barrel quick-connecting frame; a vertical limiting groove is recessed and formed on the front side of the material barrel, and the back surface of the connecting convex block is convex. When the material outlet valve assembly is installed, the back surface of the connecting convex block closely adheres to the front side of the material barrel, the connecting convex block is clamped in the vertical limiting groove, and the valve body locking pin hole is exactly coaxially aligned with the two-sided material valve locking pin holes for easy pin fixing.
[0010] In a further technical solution, the material outlet valve assembly includes a valve body shell, a material valve grip, and a valve core shaft. The valve body shell is arranged in a circular tube shape, and the inside of the valve body shell is hollowed out to form a valve cavity; the material valve grip is rotatably connected to the valve body shell through a rotating shaft. Taking its rotating shaft as the boundary, a linkage arm is provided on the inner section of the material valve grip, and a joint is formed at the end of the linkage arm; the valve core shaft is installed to move up and down in the valve cavity. A linkage joint is formed on the upper part of the valve core shaft, and a core shaft interface is opened on the linkage joint. The joint is movably connected to the core shaft interface. A plurality of valve core flow-stop rings are formed in the middle and lower parts of the valve core shaft to form a valve core flow-stop structure. The valve body interface is formed on the back surface of the bottom of the valve body shell, and a valve body outlet is opened on the bottom end face of the valve body shell. When the valve core shaft moves downward, it blocks between the valve body interface and the valve body outlet to achieve the closing of the material outlet valve assembly.
[0011] In a further technical solution, the valve core flow stop rings are located on the upper and lower sides of the valve core flow stop structure, and the valve core flow stop structure is provided with an anti-icing structure in the middle. The anti-icing structure includes multiple anti-icing and anti-icing rings formed on the valve core shaft. The outer diameter of the anti-icing and anti-icing rings is smaller than that of the valve core flow stop rings, and the outer diameter of each anti-icing and anti-icing ring is gradually set along the axial direction of the valve core shaft.
[0012] In a further technical solution, a valve port cover is detachably installed at the valve body outlet. The valve port cover has a discharge port that runs vertically through the center. The projection shape of the discharge port is different for different valve port covers, allowing for selection. A fastening ring protruding towards the center is formed on the inner side of the cover rim of the valve port cover. A recessed fastening groove is formed at the valve body outlet. When assembling the valve port cover, it is fastened to the fastening groove by the fastening ring, thus achieving a secure installation of the valve port cover.
[0013] In a further technical solution, the discharge port is set at a downward inclination, forming an angle α between the discharge port and the horizontal plane, with angle α being 3 to 10 degrees; after the valve body shell is assembled, the valve body shell is set at an inclination, forming an angle b between the valve body shell and the vertical line, with angle b being 2 to 5 degrees.
[0014] In a further technical solution, a discharge protection cover is provided on the outside of the discharge valve assembly, and the discharge protection cover is connected to the material bucket.
[0015] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art after adopting the above structure are: 1. The material inlet sealing ring and the discharge port form a labyrinth space, which is precisely fitted with the rubber ring limiting groove of the discharge sealing ring. Then, the pressure ring of the valve body interface presses against the sealing gasket ring to form multiple airtight barriers, which greatly enhances the sealing performance between the valve body interface and the discharge port and avoids the leakage of ice sand and liquid.
[0016] 2. The anti-drop protrusion and anti-drop groove work together to ensure that the sealing ring is stably engaged during pre-assembly, preventing it from accidentally falling off and avoiding affecting the sealing effect between the valve body interface and the discharge port of the discharge valve assembly during assembly, thereby further improving the operability of the discharge valve assembly.
[0017] 3. The limiting slot of the material valve limiting plate limits the upper middle part of the discharge valve assembly. The connecting protrusion is inserted into the vertical limiting groove of the material barrel to achieve initial positioning. After the locking pin holes of the material valve on both sides are horizontally aligned with the locking pin holes of the valve body, the fastening or disassembly operation can be completed simply by inserting or pulling out the locking pin rod. The operation is intuitive and simple, requiring no additional tools, which greatly improves maintenance efficiency.
[0018] 4. The discharge valve assembly is completely detachable, and the valve core shaft and valve port cover can be separated independently, which facilitates thorough cleaning of the internal structure such as the valve cavity, valve core stop ring, and anti-icing structure, avoiding the formation of cleaning dead corners, effectively preventing the accumulation, drying and growth of food residue and ensuring the hygiene and safety of shaved ice.
[0019] 5. A gradually changing outer diameter anti-icing ring is set in the middle of the valve core shaft. Its outer diameter gradually changes along the axial direction and is smaller than the valve core stop ring. It guides the ice and sand to form ice clumps at the anti-icing structure. When the valve core shaft moves upward to open, the anti-icing ring drives the ice clumps upward to cut off the adhesion between the ice clumps and the ice and sand at the discharge port, ensuring that the ice and sand at the discharge port do not clump and ensuring smooth discharge.

[0027] The following are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a vertical smoothie machine with a detachable discharge assembly includes a material tank 4, which has a discharge port 4121 and a detachable discharge valve assembly 9. The discharge valve assembly 9 has a valve body interface 911, and a connecting protrusion 914 is provided on the inner side of the discharge valve assembly 9. The connecting protrusion 914 has a valve body locking pin hole 9140 that extends through the left and right sides. A discharge mounting plate 455 is provided on each side of the discharge port 4121. The two discharge mounting plates 455 have a valve locking pin hole 4553 that extends through the left and right sides, and the valve locking pin holes 4553 on both sides are horizontally aligned. A material valve limiting plate 456 is also provided on the front side of the barrel 4. The outer edge of the material valve limiting plate 456 is formed with a limiting slot. The material valve limiting plate 456 is located above the material valve locking pin hole 4553. The upper middle part of the discharge valve assembly 9 is limited and matched with the limiting slot of the material valve limiting plate 456. The valve body interface 911 is movably sleeved on the discharge port 4121. A discharge sealing ring 90 is sandwiched between the two. A locking pin rod 93 is inserted between the material valve locking pin hole 4553 and the valve body locking pin hole 9140 on both sides. The discharge valve assembly 9 is fastened to the material barrel 4 by the locking pin rod 93.
[0029] The discharge valve assembly 9 is detachable as a whole, and the valve core shaft 95 and valve port cover 94 can be separated independently, which facilitates thorough rinsing of the internal structure such as valve chamber 910, valve core stop ring 951, and anti-icing structure 952, avoiding the formation of cleaning dead corners, effectively preventing the accumulation, drying and growth of food residue and ensuring the hygiene and safety of shaved ice.
[0030] Specifically, a material outlet sealing protrusion ring 4122 is formed on the outer side of the discharge port 4121. The material outlet sealing protrusion ring 4122 is closed along the edge direction of the discharge port 4121, and a labyrinthine annular space is formed between the material outlet sealing protrusion ring 4122 and the discharge port 4121. A recessed rubber ring limiting groove 902 is formed on the back of the discharge sealing ring 90. The rubber ring limiting groove 902 matches the material outlet sealing protrusion ring 4122. During assembly, the rubber ring limiting groove 902 of the discharge sealing ring 90 is sleeved on the material outlet sealing protrusion ring 4122 to achieve the assembly positioning between the discharge sealing ring 90 and the discharge port 4121.
[0031] Specifically, the outer wall of the material inlet sealing ring 4122 is formed with an outwardly protruding anti-drop protrusion 4123; the inner wall of the rubber ring limiting groove 902 of the discharge sealing ring 90 near the outer side is formed with a recessed anti-drop groove 903. When the rubber ring limiting groove 902 is fitted onto the material inlet sealing ring 4122, the anti-drop protrusion 4123 is simultaneously engaged with the anti-drop groove 903 of the discharge sealing ring 90 to prevent the discharge sealing ring 90 from accidentally falling off during pre-assembly.
[0032] In actual operation, when assembling the discharge valve assembly 9, the discharge sealing ring 90 is first pre-assembled at the discharge port 4121. The rubber ring limiting sleeve groove 902 is then fitted onto the material port sealing protrusion 4122 to align the discharge sealing ring 90 with the discharge port 4121. Then, the anti-drop protrusion 4123 is engaged with the anti-drop groove 903 of the discharge sealing ring 90 to stably pre-assemble the discharge sealing ring 90 at the discharge port 4121. At this time, there is no need to use hands or tools to support the discharge sealing ring 90, freeing up both hands, and then the assembly of the discharge valve assembly 9 can be carried out, enabling one person to complete the assembly of the discharge valve assembly 9 and the installation of the airtight structure.
[0033] The anti-drop protrusion 4123 and the anti-drop groove 903 work together to ensure that the sealing ring is stably engaged during pre-assembly, preventing it from falling off accidentally. This avoids affecting the sealing effect between the valve body interface 911 and the discharge port 4121 of the discharge valve assembly 9 during assembly, and further improves the operability of the discharge valve assembly 9.
[0034] Specifically, the inner ring of the discharge sealing ring 90 is formed with a sealing gasket 901 protruding towards the center. When the discharge sealing ring 90 is pre-assembled on the material port sealing convex ring 4122, the sealing gasket 901 is embedded in the annular space. The end face of the valve body interface 911 is formed with a protruding pressure convex ring 9111. The valve body interface 911 is sleeved on the discharge port 4121 and embedded in the annular space. The valve body interface 911 and its pressure convex ring 9111 simultaneously press against the sealing gasket 901 of the discharge sealing ring 90 to form an airtight structure between the discharge port 4121 and the valve body interface 911.
[0035] The material inlet sealing ring 4122 and the discharge port 4121 form a labyrinth space, which is precisely fitted with the rubber ring limiting groove 902 of the discharge sealing ring 90. Then, the pressure ring 9111 of the valve body interface 911 presses against the sealing gasket ring 901, forming multiple airtight barriers, which greatly enhances the sealing performance between the valve body interface 911 and the discharge port 4121 and prevents ice sand and liquid leakage.
[0036] The labyrinth-type gasket structure proposed in this application significantly improves airtightness. Since the material tank 4 is vertical, and the outlet 4121 is located at the bottom, a large pressure is generated at the outlet 4121 when fully filled, placing high demands on the seal between the outlet valve assembly 9 and the outlet 4121. The labyrinth-type gasket structure proposed in this application is well-suited to this outlet 4121 design. Compared to traditional sealing gasket structures, it offers more stable airtightness, is easier to install, and increases the maximum filling capacity of the material tank 4.
[0037] Specifically, both sides of the material valve limit plate 456 are respectively formed and connected to the corresponding material valve limit plate 456 to form a bucket quick-connection frame in the shape of a "冂"; a vertical limit groove 4554 is also recessed and formed on the front side of the material bucket 4, and an outwardly protruding 9141 is formed on the back surface of the connection convex block 914. When the discharge valve assembly 9 is installed, the back surface of the connection convex block 914 is closely attached to the front side of the material bucket 4, the connection convex block 914 is clamped in the vertical limit groove 4554, and the valve body locking pin hole 9140 is exactly coaxially aligned with the material valve locking pin holes 4553 on both sides for pin fixing.
[0038] The limit bayonet of the material valve limit plate 456 limits the upper middle part of the discharge valve assembly 9. The connection convex block 914 is inserted into the vertical limit groove 4554 of the material bucket 4 for preliminary positioning. After the material valve locking pin holes 4553 on both sides and the valve body locking pin hole 9140 are horizontally aligned, only by inserting or pulling out the locking pin rod 93 can the fastening or disassembly operation be completed. The operation is intuitive and simple, without additional tools, greatly improving the maintenance efficiency.
[0039] In this embodiment, the limit bayonet is arc-shaped and forms an arc-shaped limit groove 4561. The arc-shaped limit groove 4561 matches the following valve body shell 91. During assembly, the valve body shell 91 is limit-embedded in the arc-shaped limit groove 4561.
[0040] Specifically, the discharge valve assembly 9 includes a valve body shell 91, a material valve grip 92, and a valve core shaft 95. The valve body shell 91 is arranged in a circular tube shape, and the inside of the valve body shell 91 is hollowed out to form a valve cavity 910; the material valve grip 92 is rotatably connected to the valve body shell 91 through a rotating shaft. Taking its rotating shaft as the boundary, a linkage arm 921 is provided on the inner section of the material valve grip 92, and a joint 922 is formed at the end of the linkage arm 921; the valve core shaft 95 is installed in the valve cavity 910 in a vertically movable manner. A linkage joint is formed on the upper part of the valve core shaft 95, and a core shaft interface 950 is opened on the linkage joint. The joint 922 is movably connected to the core shaft interface 950. A plurality of valve core stop rings 951 are formed on the middle and lower parts of the valve core shaft 95 to form a valve core stop flow structure. A valve body interface 911 is formed on the back surface of the bottom of the valve body shell 91, and a valve body outlet 912 is opened on the bottom end surface of the valve body shell 91. When the valve core shaft 95 moves downward, it blocks between the valve body interface 911 and the valve body outlet 912 to close the discharge valve assembly 9.
[0041] Specifically, a linkage through hole 9102 is opened at a position near the top of the valve body shell 91 for the linkage arm 921 of the material valve grip 92 to pass through and be assembled movably; a core shaft limit ring 9101 is provided at the top of the valve body shell 91, which protrudes toward the center direction of the valve body shell 91, and the core shaft limit ring 9101 is in a blocking limit fit with the top of the valve core shaft 95.
[0042] Specifically, valve body side plates 913 are formed on the left and right sides of the front part of the valve body shell 91, and the valve body side plates 913 are respectively provided with a side plate pin hole 9130 for shaft connection to install the material valve handle 92. The material valve handle 92 is provided with a handle shaft hole 920 on the middle and rear side. During assembly, the side plate pin holes 9130 on both sides are axially aligned with the handle shaft hole 920, and are inserted through the locking pin 93 of another one to realize the rotation assembly of the material valve handle 92 and the quick installation of the material valve handle 92.
[0043] Specifically, the inner sides of the two valve body side plates 913 are also provided with reinforcing plates 9131. The reinforcing plates 9131 are formed to protrude from the inner side of the valve body side plates 913, and their inner sides are formed to connect to the valve body shell 91, so as to strengthen the structural strength of the valve body side plates 913 and prevent the valve body side plates 913 from deforming or tilting after the material valve handle 92 is opened and closed multiple times, thus affecting the normal operation of the discharge valve assembly 9.
[0044] Specifically, the valve core flow stop ring 951 is located on the upper and lower sides of the valve core flow stop structure, and the valve core flow stop structure is provided with an anti-icing structure 952 in the middle. The anti-icing structure 952 includes a plurality of anti-icing and de-icing rings 953 formed on the valve core shaft 95. The outer diameter of the anti-icing and de-icing ring 953 is smaller than that of the valve core flow stop ring 951, and the outer diameter of each anti-icing and de-icing ring 953 is gradually set along the axial direction of the valve core shaft 95.
[0045] An anti-icing and de-icing ring 953 with a gradually changing outer diameter is provided in the middle of the valve core shaft 95. Its outer diameter gradually changes along the axial direction and is smaller than the valve core stop ring 951. It guides the ice and sand to form ice clumps at the anti-icing structure. When the valve core shaft 95 moves upward to open, the anti-icing and de-icing ring 953 drives the ice clumps upward to cut off the adhesion between the ice clumps and the ice and sand at the discharge port, ensuring that the ice and sand at the discharge port 4121 does not clump and ensuring smooth discharge.
[0046] When the discharge valve assembly 9 is closed, the anti-icing ring 953 is aligned with the discharge port 4121. The residual material in the discharge port 4121 will fill the anti-icing ring 953 and form an ice ball at the anti-icing ring 953.
[0047] When discharge is required, the valve core shaft 95 moves upward to open, and the anti-icing ring 953 in the middle carries the ice clumps formed on its surface upward. The upward-moving ice clumps act like a blunt knife, physically severing the adhesion between the ice column in the discharge port 4121 and the ice clumps already formed in the anti-icing ring 953. In this way, the ice clumps are carried away, allowing the ice column in the discharge port 4121 to flow out smoothly, and the subsequent ice becomes loose, thus ensuring that the ice can be discharged smoothly and without clumping.
[0048] Specifically, a valve cover 94 is detachably installed on the valve body outlet 912. The valve cover 94 has a through-hole 940 at its center. The projection shape of the through-hole 940 of different valve covers 94 is different for selection. Multiple cover wings 941 are formed on the outer side of the valve cover 94, which are used by the operator as leverage points when assembling or disassembling the valve cover 94, further improving its maintenance convenience.
[0049] The inner side of the valve cover 94 has a fastening ring 942 protruding towards the center; the valve body outlet 912 has a recessed fastening groove 9121. When the valve cover 94 is assembled, the fastening ring 942 is engaged with the fastening groove 9121 to achieve the fastening installation of the valve cover 94.
[0050] Specifically, the discharge port 4121 is inclined downwards, and the discharge port 4121 forms an angle α with the horizontal plane, which is 8 degrees; after the valve body shell 91 is assembled, the valve body shell 91 is inclined, and the valve body shell 91 forms an angle b with the vertical line, which is 3 degrees.
[0051] Because the discharge valve assembly 9 is a three-point assembly design, it includes the abutment limit between the discharge valve assembly 9 and the arc-shaped limiting groove 4561, the insertion of the side plate pin hole 9130 and the handle shaft hole 920 through the locking pin rod 93, and the sleeve connection between the valve body interface 911 and the discharge port 4121. The valve handle 92 is located above the discharge valve assembly 9 and has a large mass. Under the action of weight, it can further tighten the sleeve connection between the valve body interface 911 and the discharge port 4121.
[0052] The three-point assembly design of the discharge valve assembly 9 and its inclined assembly position, when the lower pressure valve handle 92 is opened, simultaneously cause the valve body interface 911 to have a movement tendency towards the discharge port 4121, further improving the sealing and connection stability between the two; when the upper lifting valve handle 92 is closed, the operating force is converted through the lever, causing the movement tendency of the valve body interface 911 to reverse, generating a slight separation tendency away from the discharge port 4121. The discharge channel formed by the connection between the valve body interface 911 and the discharge port 4121 has a certain inclination, so that the direction of the separation tendency of the valve body interface 911 is not consistent with the axial direction of the discharge port 4121, avoiding the separation tendency of the valve body interface 911 from causing the airtightness between the two; in addition, the inclined discharge port 4121 can also make the discharge smoother.
[0053] The inventors have cleverly designed a clever design by introducing an inclination angle to achieve a connection between the valve body interface 911 and the discharge port 4121, thus avoiding the tendency of the valve body interface 911 to separate and cause the airtightness between the two.
[0054] Specifically, the discharge valve assembly 9 is provided with a discharge protection cover 81 on its exterior, and the discharge protection cover 81 is connected to the material barrel 4. The inner side of the discharge protection cover 81 is provided with a protrusion for snap-fit connection; the outer side of the discharge mounting plate 455 is formed with a recessed cover slot 4552, and the protrusion is snap-fit connected to the cover slot 4552 to realize the quick installation of the discharge protection cover 81.
[0055] In this embodiment, the discharge valve assembly 9 can be disassembled and assembled using only two locking pins 93, as well as the valve core assembly can be disassembled. The design is ingenious and easy to clean and maintain, providing a practical technical upgrade to the detachable material valve in the prior art.
[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the ideas of the present invention. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
