Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of beverage manufacturing equipment, and more particularly to a beverage manufacturing machine. Background Technology
[0002] Existing snow melting machines consist of a loading tank and a main unit. When the loading tank is removed from the main unit, the power supply or motor on the main unit is still energized. This means that the stirring components on the motor may still rotate during the removal of the loading tank, posing a safety risk when loading and unloading the loading tank. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a beverage making machine.
[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: it includes a main unit, a filling bucket, and a locking structure. The main unit is equipped with a power supply device for supplying power and a power-on control component for controlling whether the power supply device supplies power. The filling bucket is detachably installed on the main unit. The locking structure is installed on the main unit and is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. When the locking structure is in the locked position, it fixes the filling bucket to the main unit, and the power-on control component allows the power supply device to supply power. When the locking structure is in the unlocked position, the filling bucket can be removed from the main unit, and the power-on control component controls the power supply device to stop supplying power. During the process of the locking structure moving from the locked position to the unlocked position, the power-on control component controls the power supply device to stop supplying power.
[0005] Furthermore, the power-on control component is linked to the locking structure.
[0006] Furthermore, the host is equipped with a motor, and the power supply device is capable of supplying power to the host and / or the motor.
[0007] Furthermore, the locking structure includes a driving member, which is movably mounted on the host. The driving member is capable of moving between the locked position and the unlocked position, and the driving member can fix the filling barrel to the host through a snap-fit structure.
[0008] Furthermore, the snap-fit structure includes a movable component, which is movably mounted on the host, and the driving component is capable of driving the movable component to move; When the drive unit is in the locked position, the drive unit connects the moving part to the loading barrel, thereby fixing the loading barrel to the host. When the drive is in the unlocked position, the drive disconnects the moving part from the filling barrel, thereby allowing the filling barrel to be removed from the host.
[0009] Furthermore, the movable component is mounted on the host machine in a vertically movable manner; the driving component is rotatably mounted on the host machine, and the movable component is connected to the driving component in a transmission manner. When the driving component rotates, it can drive the movable component to move up and down, so that the movable component can engage or disengage from the loading hopper.
[0010] Furthermore, the side wall of the moving part has a protrusion, the driving part has a groove, the protrusion is located in the groove, and when the driving part rotates, it drives the moving part to move up and down through the groove wall; The side wall of the loading hopper has a protrusion, and the bottom of the moving part has a snap-fit hole; when the driving part is in the locked position, the protrusion is located inside the snap-fit hole; when the driving part is in the unlocked position, the protrusion is located outside the snap-fit hole.
[0011] Furthermore, when the drive member is in the locked position, a portion of the drive member abuts against the energizing control member, which allows the power supply device to supply power; When the drive unit is in the unlocked position, the portion of the drive unit that abuts against the power supply control unit moves away from the power supply control unit, and the power supply control unit controls the power supply device to stop supplying power.
[0012] Furthermore, the power-on control component is a micro switch, which is installed inside the main unit and has a button portion; The filling barrel has an insertion part, and the insertion part is equipped with a movable abutment; when the filling barrel is installed on the main unit, the insertion part is inserted into the main unit, and the abutment is located on one side of the button part; When the drive member is in the locked position, a portion of the drive member pushes the abutment member to move and press the button portion. When the drive is in the unlocked position, the portion of the drive that abuts against the abutment moves away from the abutment, and the abutment stops pressing the button portion.
[0013] Furthermore, the button portion is located on top of the power-on control component; The abutting member is movably mounted on the insertion part; when the insertion part is inserted into the main unit, the abutting member is located above the button part; The drive component is rotatably mounted on the host computer; When the drive member rotates to the locking position, a portion of the drive member pushes the abutment member downward, causing the lower end of the abutment member to press the button portion; During the process of the drive member rotating from the locked position to the unlocked position, the lower end of the abutment member stops pressing the button.
[0014] Furthermore, the abutting member is a cam, the outer wall of the cam has a pivot, the position of the pivot is offset from the center position of the cam, the cam is rotatably mounted on the insertion part through the pivot, the cam has a receiving cavity inside, and a first spring is provided between the upper wall of the receiving cavity and the insertion part; the button part is located on the upper side of the power control member; When the insertion part is inserted into the main unit, the cam is located above the button part; The drive component is rotatably mounted on the host computer; When the drive unit rotates to the locking position, a portion of the drive unit pushes the cam to rotate, causing the lower end of the cam to press the button portion and compress the first spring. As the drive unit rotates from the locked position to the unlocked position, the first spring elastically recovers, and the lower end of the cam stops pressing the button.
[0015] Furthermore, the abutting member is a rotating rod, the middle part of which is rotatably mounted on the right side of the insertion part. The rotating rod is vertically arranged, and a second spring is provided between the upper end of the rotating rod and the insertion part. The button part is located on the left side of the power control component. When the insertion part is inserted into the main unit, the lower end of the rotating rod is located to the left of the button part. The drive component is rotatably mounted on the host computer; When the drive member rotates to the locking position, a part of the drive member pushes the rotating rod to rotate, so that the lower end of the rotating rod presses the button part and the upper end of the rotating rod compresses the second spring; As the drive unit rotates from the locked position to the unlocked position, the second spring elastically recovers, and the lower end of the rotating rod stops pressing the button.
[0016] The beverage making machine according to the present invention has at least the following technical effects: 1. In this invention, when the locking structure fixes the filling barrel to the main unit, the power control component allows the power supply device to supply power. During the disassembly of the filling barrel, the power control component will control the power supply device to stop supplying power. Thus, when disassembling the filling barrel, the power is cut off before the filling barrel is released, which avoids the motor or main unit from still working when the filling barrel is disassembled, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the beverage making machine.
[0017] 2. Since the power control component is linked with the locking structure, the user only needs to drive the locking structure to control whether the filling bucket will be locked and whether the power supply device will supply power, which is convenient for the user.
[0018] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these technical solutions are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The technical solutions described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.
[0023] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set up," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the beverage making machine provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes a main unit 100, a filling tank 300, and a locking structure 400. The main unit 100 is equipped with a power supply device (not shown in the figure) for supplying power and a power-on control component 200 for controlling whether the power supply device supplies power. The filling tank 300 is detachably mounted on the main unit 100. The locking structure 400 is mounted on the main unit 100 and can move between a locked position and an unlocked position. When the locking structure 400 is in the locked position, it fixes the filling tank 300 to the main unit 100, and the power-on control component 200 allows the power supply device to supply power. When the locking structure 400 is in the unlocked position, the filling tank 300 can be removed from the main unit 100, and the power-on control component 200 controls the power supply device to stop supplying power. During the process of the locking structure 400 moving from the locked position to the unlocked position, the power-on control component 200 controls the power supply device to stop supplying power.
[0025] In this invention, when the locking structure 400 fixes the filling tank 300 to the main unit 100, the power supply control component 200 allows the power supply device to supply power. During the disassembly of the filling tank 300, the power supply control component 200 will control the power supply device to stop supplying power. Thus, when disassembling the filling tank 300, the power is cut off before the filling tank 300 is released, avoiding the motor or the main unit 100 from still working when the filling tank 300 is disassembled, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the beverage making machine.
[0026] When installing the filling tank 300, the user installs the filling tank 300 on the main unit 100, and then drives the locking structure 400 to move to the locking position. The locking structure 400 fixes the filling tank 300 on the main unit 100. At the same time, the power control component 200 allows the power supply device to supply power, and then the power supply device supplies power to the beverage making machine, and the beverage making machine performs the work of preparing smoothies.
[0027] When disassembling the filling tank 300, the drive locking structure 400 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position. During the movement (from the beginning to the end of the movement), the power control component 200 controls the power supply device to stop supplying power, that is, the power supply device does not supply power to the beverage maker, and thus the stirring component on the beverage maker will not rotate, thereby ensuring that the user will not be accidentally injured by the stirring component when disassembling the filling tank 300. When the locking structure 400 moves to the unlocked position, the locking structure 400 no longer fixes the filling tank 300 to the main unit 100. At this time, the user can remove the filling tank 300 from the main unit 100. After disassembling the filling tank 300, the power control component 200 can still maintain the control of the power supply device to stop supplying power. It can be understood that when the locking structure 400 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the beverage maker has two stages: the first stage is to cut off the power, and the second stage is to release the filling tank 300.
[0028] Specifically, the process of the drive unit 410 moving from the locked position to the unlocked position includes a first movement stage and a second movement stage; during the first movement stage, the power control unit 200 controls the power supply device to stop supplying power, and the drive unit 410 fixes the filling bucket 300 to the host 100; during the second movement stage (equivalent to the unlocked position), the power control unit 200 controls the power supply device to stop supplying power, and the drive unit 410 allows the filling bucket 300 to be removed from the host 100.
[0029] Specifically, the beverage making machine is a smoothie machine or a snow melting machine.
[0030] Furthermore, the energizing control component 200 is linked with the locking structure 400.
[0031] Since the power control component 200 is linked with the locking structure 400, the user only needs to drive the locking structure 400 to control whether the filling bucket 300 is locked and whether the power supply device is powered, which is convenient for the user.
[0032] For example, since the power-on control component 200 is linked with the locking structure 400, when the locking structure 400 is in the locked position, the power-on control component 200 synchronously switches to allow the power supply device to provide power; during the process of the locking structure 400 moving from the locked position to the unlocked position, the power-on control component 200 synchronously switches to control the power supply device to stop providing power; the power-on control component 200 and the locking structure 400 are mechanically linked.
[0033] Furthermore, the main unit 100 is equipped with a motor (not shown), and the power supply device can supply power to the main unit 100 and / or the motor, that is, the power supply device can supply power to the main unit 100 or the motor, or it can supply power to the main unit 100 and the motor simultaneously. When the power supply device supplies power to both the main unit 100 and the motor simultaneously, the power control unit 200 can serve as the sole power control input for the beverage maker.
[0034] It is understandable that the power supply device being able to supply power to the host 100 means that the power supply device is able to supply power to other electrical components (such as indicator lights) inside the host 100, excluding the motor.
[0035] Furthermore, the locking structure 400 includes a driving member 410, which is movably mounted on the main unit 100. The driving member 410 can move between the locked position and the unlocked position. The driving member 410 can fix the filling barrel 300 to the main unit 100 through a snap-fit structure, facilitating the fixation of the filling barrel 300. Specifically, the snap-fit structure includes a snap-fit member that can rotate or move. When fixed, the driving member 410 drives the snap-fit member to rotate or move, so that the snap-fit member is snapped and fixed to the filling barrel 300. The snap-fit fixing method can be two snap-fit blocks interlocking and engaging, or a protrusion engaging with a hole, or a pin engaging with a hole, or other snap-fit fixing methods.
[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the snap-fit structure includes a movable member 110, which is movably mounted on the host 100, and a driving member 410 can drive the movable member 110 to move; as Figure 4 As shown, when the drive unit 410 is in the locked position, it connects the movable member 110 to the filling tank 300, thereby fixing the filling tank 300 to the main unit 100. When the drive unit 410 is in the unlocked position, it disconnects the movable member 110 from the filling tank 300, allowing the filling tank 300 to be detached from the main unit 100. The movement of the movable member 110 driven by the drive unit 410 controls whether the filling tank 300 is fixed, simplifying the structure of the beverage making machine and facilitating the fixing of the filling tank 300.
[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 4As shown, the movable component 110 is movably mounted on the main unit 100; the driving component 410 is rotatably mounted on the main unit 100. The movable component 110 and the driving component 410 are connected by a transmission. When the driving component 410 rotates, it drives the movable component 110 to move up and down, so that the movable component 110 can engage or disengage with the material container 300. The rotating driving component 410 drives the movable component 110 to move, making it easy to control the engagement or disengagement of the movable component 110 with the material container 300. Specifically, the driving component 410 can be a handle. One part of the handle is connected to the movable component 110 for driving the movable component 110 to move, and the other part of the handle is located outside the main unit 100, making it easy for the user to grasp and rotate the handle. Specifically, the main unit 100 has a slide rail, and the movable component 110 is slidably connected to the slide rail, thereby enabling the movable component 110 to be movably mounted on the main unit 100.
[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the side wall of the movable member 110 has a protrusion 111, and the driving member 410 has a groove 411. The protrusion 111 is located within the groove 411. When the driving member 410 rotates, it drives the movable member 110 to move up and down through the groove wall of the groove 411. Figure 6 As shown, the side wall of the filling hopper 300 has protrusions 320, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the bottom of the movable part 110 has a snap-fit hole 112; as Figure 9 As shown, when the drive component 410 is in the locked position, the protrusion 320 is located within the snap-fit hole 112; as Figure 10 As shown, when the drive unit 410 is in the unlocked position, the protrusion 320 is located outside the snap-fit hole 112.
[0039] The sliding groove 411 engages with the protrusion 111, facilitating the drive component 410 to drive the moving component 110 to rotate; the snap-fit hole 112 engages with the protrusion 320, such as... Figure 9 As shown, when the protrusion 320 is located inside the snap-fit hole 112, the moving part 110 blocks the material barrel 300 from moving left and right, thereby fixing the material barrel 300 on the host 100. When the protrusion 320 is located outside the snap-fit hole 112, the moving part 110 no longer blocks the material barrel 300 from moving left and right, and the material barrel 300 can be removed from the host 100.
[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 15As shown, the drive unit 410 includes a first horizontal bar 412, two vertical bars 413, and two second horizontal bars 414. The first horizontal bar 412 extends in the front-to-back direction, and the two second horizontal bars 414 extend in the left-to-right direction. The front and rear ends of the first horizontal bar 412 are respectively connected to the upper ends of the two vertical bars 413, and the lower ends of the two vertical bars 413 are respectively connected to the right ends of the two second horizontal bars 414. The first horizontal bar 412 is located at the top of the main unit. There is a rotating shaft between the vertical bars 413 and the second horizontal bars 414. The drive unit 410 is mounted on the main unit 100 through the rotating shaft. The slide groove 411 is located on the second horizontal bar 414. The part (α) of the drive unit 410 that abuts against the power-on control unit 200 through the abutment member 311 is located at the bottom of the first horizontal bar 412. In use, the user can hold the first horizontal bar 412 to drive the drive unit 410 to rotate.
[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the drive member 410 is in the locked position, a portion (α) of the drive member 410 or a portion of the moving member 110 abuts against the energizing control member 200, which allows the power supply device to provide power; as Figure 5 As shown, when the drive member 410 is in the unlocked position, the part (α) of the drive member 410 that abuts against the power control member 200 or the part of the moving member 110 that abuts against the power control member 200 moves away from the power control member 200, and the power control member 200 controls the power supply device to stop supplying power.
[0042] The drive member 410 or the moving member 110 is configured in the above manner so that the trigger point is formed by the drive member 410 contacting or moving away from the power-on control member 200, or by the moving member 110 contacting or moving away from the power-on control member 200. The power-on control member 200 can further control whether the power supply device supplies power according to the contact or moving away mentioned above. For example, power supply is allowed when in contact and not allowed when moving away.
[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the power-on control component 200 is a micro switch, which is installed inside the main unit 100 and has a button portion 210; as Figure 6 As shown, the filling hopper 300 has an insertion part 310, and a movable abutment member 311 is installed in the insertion part 310; when the filling hopper 300 is installed on the main unit 100, as... Figure 3 As shown, the insertion part 310 is inserted into the main unit 100, and the abutting member 311 is located on one side of the button part 210; as Figure 4 As shown, when the drive member 410 is in the locked position, a portion (α) of the drive member 410 pushes the abutment member 311 to move and press the button portion 210; as Figure 5As shown, when the drive member 410 is in the unlocked position, the part of the drive member 410 that abuts against the abutment member 311 moves away from the abutment member 311, and the abutment member 311 stops pressing the button part 210.
[0044] A micro switch is used in conjunction with the filling tank 300 and the drive unit 410 to facilitate linkage between the micro switch and the drive unit 410. For example, when the drive unit 410 presses the button part 210 of the micro switch through the abutting part 311, the micro switch allows the power supply device to provide power. When the drive unit 410 does not press the button part 210 of the micro switch through the abutting part 311, the micro switch does not allow the power supply device to provide power.
[0045] When the filling hopper 300 is installed, the insertion part 310 of the filling hopper 300 is inserted into the main unit 100, so that the abutting member 311 is located on one side of the button part 210. Then, the driving member 410 is driven to move to the locking position. During the movement, a part of the driving member 410 pushes the abutting member 311 to move and presses the button part 210. After pressing, the power control member 200 allows the power supply device to supply power to the main unit 100 and / or the motor. When the filling hopper 300 is disassembled, the driving member 410 is driven to move from the locking position to the unlocking position. During the movement, the driving member 410 no longer pushes the abutting member 311 to move. The button part 210 returns to its original position under the action of elasticity, so that the micro switch does not allow the power supply device to supply power to the main unit 100 and / or the motor.
[0046] It is understandable that the button portion 210 is equivalent to the actuating spring on a micro switch. When the actuating spring is pressed, it deforms due to elasticity, and the moving contact at the end of the actuating spring quickly connects with the fixed contact on the micro switch. After connection, the circuit between the power supply device and the motor and / or the main unit is connected, and the micro switch allows the power supply device to supply power. When the button portion 210 is not pressed, the actuating spring returns to its elastic state, and the actuating spring causes the moving contact to quickly disconnect from the fixed contact. After disconnection, the circuit between the power supply device and the motor and / or the main unit is disconnected, and the micro switch does not allow the power supply device to supply power. Specifically, the main unit 100 has an insertion hole 101 for the insertion portion 310 to be inserted into the main unit 100, such as... Figure 3 As shown, during installation, the insertion part 310 is inserted into the main unit 100 through the insertion hole 101. Specifically, the power control component 200 can also be a toggle switch, a tactile switch, or other switches.
[0047] Furthermore, the drive unit 410 can adjust the power supply control unit 200 through a cam structure, a slider structure, or a linkage structure, so that the power supply control unit 200 synchronously controls whether the power supply device supplies power. That is, the drive unit 410 can adjust the power supply control unit 200 through different structures.
[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 4As shown, the button portion 210 is located at the top of the power control member 200; the abutting member 311 is movably mounted on the insertion portion 310; when the insertion portion 310 is inserted into the main unit 100, the abutting member 311 is located above the button portion 210; the driving member 410 is rotatably mounted on the main unit 100; when the driving member 410 rotates to the locked position, a part of the driving member 410 pushes the abutting member 311 downward, so that the lower end of the abutting member 311 presses the button portion 210; during the process of the driving member 410 rotating from the locked position to the unlocked position, the lower end of the abutting member 311 stops pressing the button portion 210; since the lower end of the abutting member 311 no longer presses the button portion 210 of the power control member 200 during the process of the locking structure 400 (driving member 410) moving from the locked position to the unlocked position, the power control member 200 no longer allows the power supply device to supply power to the main unit 100 and / or the motor.
[0049] The button part 210 and the abutting member 311 are configured in the above manner, which makes it easy for the abutting member 311 and the button part 210 to return to their original positions under the action of the elastic element inside the micro switch; it can be understood that the abutting member 311 that moves up and down is equivalent to a slider structure.
[0050] Specifically, the drive component 410 can adjust the energizing control component 200 via the cam structure, such as... Figure 11 , 12As shown, the abutting member 311 is a cam 330. The outer wall of the cam 330 has a pivot 331. The pivot 331 is offset from the center of the cam 330. The cam 330 is rotatably mounted on the insertion part 310 via the pivot 331. The cam 330 has a receiving cavity 332 inside. A first spring 333 is located between the upper wall of the receiving cavity 332 and the insertion part 310. The button part 210 is located above the power-on control member 200. When the insertion part 310 is inserted into the main unit 100, the cam 330 is located above the button part 210. The first spring 333 is used to prevent the lower end of the cam 330 from pressing the button part 210 of the power-on control member 200. The driving member 410 is rotatably mounted on the main unit 100. When the driving member 410 rotates to the locking position, a part (α) of the driving member 410 pushes the cam 330, causing the cam 330 to be connected to the main unit 100 via the pivot 331. When the insertion part 310 rotates clockwise, during the rotation, the lower end of the cam 330 presses the button part 210 of the power-on control member 200, and the power-on control member 200 allows the power supply device to supply power to the host 100 and / or the motor, while compressing the first spring 333. When the drive member 410 rotates from the locked position to the unlocked position, the drive member 410 no longer pushes the cam 330 to rotate, the first spring 333 elastically recovers, and the first spring 333 drives the cam 330 to rotate counterclockwise. The first spring 333 prevents the lower end of the cam 330 from pressing the button part 210 of the power-on control member 200. Since the lower end of the cam 330 no longer presses the button part 210 of the power-on control member 200 during the process of the locking structure 400 (drive member 410) moving from the locked position to the unlocked position, the power-on control member 200 no longer allows the power supply device to supply power to the host 100 and / or the motor.
[0051] Specifically, when the drive component 410 can adjust the energized control component 200 via the linkage structure, such as... Figure 13 , 14As shown, the abutment member 311 is a rotating rod 340. The middle part of the rotating rod 340 is rotatably mounted on the right side of the insertion part 310. The rotating rod 340 is vertically arranged. A second spring 341 is provided between the upper end of the rotating rod 340 and the insertion part 310. The second spring 341 is used to prevent the lower end of the rotating rod 340 from pressing the button part 210 of the power-on control member 200. The button part 210 is located on the left side of the power-on control member 200. When the insertion part 310 is inserted into the main unit 100, the lower end of the rotating rod 340 is located to the left of the button part 210. A first spring 333 is used to prevent the lower end of the rotating rod 340 from pressing the button part 210 of the power-on control member 200. The driving member 410 is rotatably mounted on the main unit 100. When the driving member 410 is rotated to the locking position, a part (α) of the driving member 410 pushes the rotating rod 340 counterclockwise. As the needle rotates, the lower end of the lever 340 presses the button 210 of the power control component 200, allowing the power supply device to power the host 100 and / or the motor, while simultaneously compressing the second spring 341. When the drive component 410 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the drive component 410 no longer pushes the lever 340 to rotate, and the second spring 341 recovers its elasticity, causing the lever 340 to rotate clockwise. The first spring 333 prevents the lower end of the lever 340 from pressing the button 210 of the power control component 200. Since the lower end of the lever 340 no longer presses the button 210 of the power control component 200 during the movement of the locking structure 400 (drive component 410) from the locked position to the unlocked position, the power control component 200 no longer allows the power supply device to power the host 100 and / or the motor.
[0052] Furthermore, when the filling hopper 300 is not installed on the main unit 100, the power control unit 200 controls the power supply to stop supplying power, that is, when the hopper is not filled, neither the whole machine nor the motor can be powered on, ensuring safety during hopper filling.
[0053] When the filling tank 300 of the present invention is installed, the insertion part 310 of the filling tank 300 is inserted into the main unit 100 through the insertion hole 101, so that the abutting member 311 is located above the button part 210. Then, the driving member 410 is driven to rotate to the locking position. The driving member 410 drives the moving member 110 to move downward through the sliding groove 411 and the protrusion 111, so that the protrusion 320 of the filling tank 300 is located in the snap-fit hole 112 of the moving member 110. The moving member 110 blocks the filling tank 300 from moving left and right, so that the filling tank 300 is fixed on the main unit 100. At the same time, a part (α) of the driving member 410 pushes the abutting member 311 to move and presses the button part 210. After pressing, the power control member 200 allows the power supply device to supply power to the main unit 100 and / or the motor, and the beverage making machine performs the work of preparing shaved ice.
[0054] When the filling tank 300 of the present invention is disassembled, the driving member 410 is driven to move from the locked position to the unlocked position. During the movement, the driving member 410 no longer pushes the abutment member 311 to move, and the button part 210 returns to its original position under the action of elasticity, so that the micro switch does not allow the power supply device to supply power to the main unit 100 and / or the motor, and thus the stirring component of the beverage maker will not rotate. When the driving member 410 moves to the unlocked position, the driving member 410 drives the moving member 110 to move upward through the slide groove 411 and the protrusion 111, so that the protrusion 320 of the filling tank 300 is located outside the snap-fit hole 112 of the moving member 110, so that the moving member 110 does not block the left and right movement of the filling tank 300. Since the stirring component will not rotate, the user can safely remove the filling tank 300 from the main unit 100.
[0055] Although the technical solutions of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these technical solutions without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
