[0021] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides an automatically cleanable fruit smoothie machine, including a box body 1 and a vertical lifting stirring device, the vertical lifting stirring device is arranged at the upper end of the box body 1, the lower end of the box body 1 is a stirring chamber, the vertical lifting stirring device includes a lifting mechanism 2 and a stirring device 3, the front end of the stirring chamber is hinged with a chamber door 6, a chute 4 is provided in the stirring chamber, a support plate 5 slides on the chute 4, a feeding cup 8 is fixed at one end of the support plate 5 close to the chamber door 6, and a cleaning cylinder 9 is provided at the other end, a driving motor is fixed at the bottom of the stirring chamber, the driving motor moves the support plate 5 in the chute 4 through an eccentric device 7, the stirring device 3 can be placed in the feeding cup 8 or the cleaning cylinder 9, and a nozzle 10 corresponding to the cleaning cylinder 9 is provided in the stirring chamber. The driving motor can be a stepping motor or a servo motor, etc., the lifting device can be a controllable telescopic rod such as an electric push rod, and the driving motor and the lifting device are both prior art.

[0022] When it is necessary to make a fruit smoothie, the door 6 is opened, and the supporting plate 5 is driven by the motor to move the feeding cup 8 out of the mixing chamber, and the cup containing ice cubes and fruit pieces is placed in the feeding cup 8, and the door 6 is closed, and the feeding cup 8 is matched with the stirring device 3 by the driving motor, and the stirring device 3 is placed in the cup by the lifting device, and the stirring device 3 is started to fully crush and stir the ice cubes and fruit pieces. After stirring for a certain period of time, the stirring device 3 is turned off, and the stirring device 3 is raised by the lifting device, and the door 6 is opened at the same time to take out the cup. In order to facilitate the cleaning of the stirring device 3, the feeding cup 8 is moved away from the stirring device 3 by the driving motor, and the cleaning cylinder is placed under the stirring device 3, and then the stirring device 3 is placed in the cleaning cylinder by the lifting mechanism 2, and the nozzle 10 is opened at the same time to rinse the stirring device 3 with water.

[0023] Through the cooperation of the driving motor and the lifting mechanism 2, the smoothie can be quickly made and the stirring device 3 can be positioned, which improves the work efficiency. The stirring device 3 can be moved into the cleaning cylinder 9, and then the nozzle 10 is opened to rinse the stirring device 3, so as to achieve the effect of automatic cleaning, making the equipment easier to maintain and maintain. Since the stirring device 3 can be raised and lowered, it can adapt to cups of different sizes, increasing the flexibility of use, and the movement of the support plate 5 on the slide 4 allows the stirring device 3 to accurately dock with the feeding cup 8 or the cleaning cylinder 9, ensuring the smoothness of the operation.

[0024] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the eccentric device 7 includes a swing arm 11, one end of which is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the driving motor, and the other end is provided with a slider 12. A moving groove 13 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 5, and the moving groove 13 intersects with the moving path of the support plate 5. The length of the moving groove 13 is greater than the rotation diameter of the slider 12, and the slider 12 moves in the moving groove 13.

[0025] In order to facilitate the control of the movement of the support plate 5, the driving motor drives the swing arm 11 to rotate, and the swing arm 11 cooperates with the sliding block 12 and the moving groove 13 to enable the support plate 5 to move in the sliding groove 4, such as a crank slider mechanism. The swing arm 11 drives the sliding block 12 to move in the moving groove 13, which reduces the chance of moisture directly contacting the driving motor, thereby protecting the driving motor from corrosion and damage, extending the service life of the driving motor, and reducing the swing or vibration caused by the rotation of the driving motor, thereby improving the stability of equipment operation.

[0026] An inclined drainage plate 14 is provided at the bottom of the mixing bin, and a drainage port 15 is connected to the lower end of the drainage plate 14.

A nozzle 10 is provided on the drainage plate 14, and the nozzle 10 can correspond to the mixing device 3 through the through hole 16.

[0027] When the stirring device 3 needs to be cleaned, the driving motor places the through hole 16 at the bottom of the cleaning cylinder 9 below the stirring device 3 through the eccentric device 7, and then starts the nozzle 10 to spray water on the stirring device 3 through the through hole 16, so as to achieve the effect of cleaning the stirring device 3. The flushed water flows along the side wall of the cleaning cylinder 9 onto the drain plate 14, and then flows out from the drain port 15 connected to the drain plate 14. The nozzle 10 arranged on the drain plate 14 corresponds to the stirring device 3, so that during the cleaning process, the water flow can be directly sprayed onto the stirring device 3, and the stirring device 3 is fully flushed, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and effect. The side wall of the cleaning cylinder 9 can prevent the splashing of the water flow, thereby keeping the stirring chamber dry.

[0028] The stirring device 3 includes a stirring motor, and the stirring motor includes an output shaft, a stirring blade 17 is fixed at the bottom of the output shaft, and a cup cover 18 is fixed on the side wall of the output shaft. When stirring is needed, the stirring motor drives the stirring blade 17 and the cup cover 18 to move downward through the electric telescopic rod. When the cup cover 18 contacts the cup, the stirring motor is started. The electric telescopic rod, the stirring motor and the stirring blade 17 are all prior art. The cup cover 18 can be tightly covered above the cup containing ice cubes and fruit pieces, effectively preventing the smoothie from splashing during the stirring process, keeping the box 1 clean, and the cup cover 18 can also reduce the pollution of the outside world to the smoothie, ensuring that the smoothie produced is more hygienic. During the cleaning process, if the water flow of the nozzle 10 is too large, the cup cover 18 can also block the water flow of the nozzle 10, further ensuring the cleanliness of the stirring chamber.

[0029] The bottom of the feeding cup 8 is provided with a drainage hole 19 penetrating the support plate 5. After the stirring is completed, if there is excess liquid or residual water from melted ice in the feeding cup 8, the drainage hole 19 can quickly drain the water to avoid the outer wall of the cup being adsorbed with water when the cup is taken out. The drainage hole 19 helps prevent corrosion or microbial breeding problems that may be caused by long-term accumulation of water in the feeding cup 8, and can also make maintenance and cleaning easier.

[0030] A partition 20 is provided between the cleaning cylinder 9 and the feeding cup 8. The partition 20 separates the cleaning area from the area where the cup is placed, preventing water splashes or impurities from splashing onto the feeding cup 8 on the feeding cup 8 during cleaning, and keeping the feeding cup 8 clean.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown, a micro switch 21 is provided at the mixing chamber corresponding to the handle end of the chamber door 6, and the micro switch 21 is electrically connected to a door locking electromagnet 22, which can be engaged with the chamber door 6. The door locking electromagnet 22 can be an electromagnetic lock, which is a prior art. By ensuring that the chamber door 6 is firmly locked during the mixing process, the chamber door 6 is prevented from accidentally opening, thereby avoiding safety accidents caused by misoperation of the operator during mixing. And if the micro switch 21 or the door locking electromagnet 22 fails, causing the chamber door 6 to be unable to close, the equipment cannot be started or operated normally, this can serve as a warning signal to prompt the user or maintenance personnel to check and repair in time to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
