Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a cup cleaning component for a popcorn machine. Background Art

[0002] Prior art, such as Chinese utility model patent document with publication number CN219984548U, discloses a push rod device integrated with cleaning and top cup, comprising: a shell, a fixed plate is provided in the inner cavity of the shell, a nozzle is provided under the fixed plate, the nozzle sprays water onto the fixed plate and then onto the inner cavity of the shell; a plurality of through holes are provided on the fixed plate, water flows out of the inner cavity of the shell through the through holes; the shell is connected to a push rod, the push rod is connected to a motor, and the motor drives the push rod to move.

[0003] Based on the above, in the prior art, the fixing plate is fitted with the bottom of the popcorn cup, and the fixing plate moves upward to push the popcorn cup upward. At the same time, a plurality of through holes are set on the fixing plate, and the through holes can make the water after washing flow downward. The technical problem is that the water after washing will carry impurities generated by the popcorn. This dense through holes is prone to impurities blocking the through holes, affecting the efficiency of water circulation. At the same time, because the nozzle is set below the fixing plate, the water sprayed by the nozzle needs to pass through the through holes and then spray upward, which greatly reduces the water pressure and affects the cleaning effect. Further improvement is needed.

[0004] At the same time, a fixing piece is connected to one end of the push rod, and the fixing piece is connected to the bottom plate, so that the push rod is fixedly connected to the shell. The problem of this push piece being arranged directly below is that it makes it impossible to have a drainage hole on the bottom plate, and the size of the drainage hole is limited by the push piece, which affects its drainage efficiency and needs further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the utility model proposes a fan rear cover structure with good stability and easy disassembly and assembly.

[0006] A cup cleaning assembly for a popcorn machine designed for this purpose includes a fixing member, a lifting platform that moves up and down relative to the fixing member is arranged on the fixing member, a water collecting cover is arranged on the lifting platform, the water collecting cover is a conical cylindrical structure with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part, and a drainage pipe is arranged at the bottom of the water collecting cover;

[0007] The inner diameter of the bottom of the water collecting cover is consistent with the inner diameter of the drainage pipe;

[0008] The fixing member is provided with a driving component for driving the lifting platform to move up and down relative to the fixing member;

[0009] The water collecting cover is provided with a first nozzle.

[0010] Compared with the existing technology, the utility model has a water collecting cover with a conical cylindrical structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, and the inner diameter of the bottom of the water collecting cover is consistent with the inner diameter of the drain pipe, so that the water flowing into the water collecting cover can be quickly discharged downward into the drain pipe, and the water is quickly discharged downward from the drain pipe, thereby improving the drainage efficiency. At the same time, the utility model can fit the water collecting cover with the bottom of the material cup, and the water collecting cover moves upward to drive the material cup to move upward. The utility model eliminates the fixed plate in the existing technology, and can avoid blocking the first nozzle to ensure the water spray pressure of the first nozzle to ensure the cleaning effect.

[0016] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0017] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 A cup cleaning assembly for a popcorn machine includes a fixing member 10, on which a lifting platform 20 is provided for moving up and down relative to the fixing member 10, on which a water collecting cover 30 is provided, the water collecting cover 30 is in a conical cylindrical structure with a larger upper portion and a smaller lower portion, and a drain pipe 60 is provided at the bottom of the water collecting cover 30; the inner diameter of the bottom of the water collecting cover 30 is consistent with the inner diameter of the drain pipe 60; the fixing member 10 is provided with a driving assembly 80 for driving the lifting platform 20 to move up and down relative to the fixing member 10; the water collecting cover 30 is provided with a first nozzle 40.

[0018] In the present invention, the fixing member 10 is a fixing mounting seat or a casing of a popcorn machine.

[0019] The utility model has two uses. The first use is that the water collecting cover 30 is fitted with the bottom of the material cup 910, and the water collecting cover 30 moves upward, driving the material cup 910 to move upward, so that the material cup 910 enters the stirring cover 920, and the stirring element in the stirring cover 920 stirs the popcorn in the material cup 910 to mix the sugar and the popcorn.

[0020] The second use is that after the material cup 910 leaves the water collecting hood 30 after being stirred, the water collecting hood 30 moves upward again under the action of the driving assembly 80, so that the water collecting hood 30 gradually approaches the stirring hood 920. When the water collecting hood moves to the preset position, the first nozzle 40 starts to spray water upward, and the water at the spraying point contacts the inner wall of the stirring hood 920, and washes off the syrup and impurities stuck to the inner wall of the stirring hood 920. The cleaned sewage flows downward into the water in the water collecting hood and is discharged downward into the drain pipe, and the water is quickly discharged downward from the drain pipe.

[0021] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The driving assembly 80 includes a driving element 810 arranged on the fixing member 10, and the driving element 810 is connected to the lifting platform 20; a slide rail 820 is arranged on the fixing member 10, and a slider 830 is arranged on the lifting platform 20, and the slider 830 is slidably connected to the slide rail 820.

The plugging method of the sleeve 70 can ensure that the drain pipe 60 and the sleeve 70 are still stably connected during the up and down movement of the drain pipe 60.

[0023] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first nozzle 40 is used for spraying water, and a second nozzle 50 for outputting steam is also provided in the water collecting cover 30. The second nozzle 50 can output steam into the stirring cover 920 to improve the cleaning efficiency and optimize the cleaning effect.

[0024] See also Figure 1 The first nozzle 40 and the second nozzle 50 are arranged on a circumference with the axis of the drain pipe 60 as the center.

[0025] See also Figure 1 The water collecting cover 30 is provided with a fitting lifting part 410 that fits with the material cup 910. The fitting lifting part 410 is responsible for supporting the material cup 910, and the lower end surface of the material cup 910 fits with the upper end surface of the fitting lifting part 410, which can effectively ensure the supporting stability and the stability of the material cup 910 when moving upward.

[0026] Furthermore, the fitting lifting portion 410 is a boss 310 disposed on the inner wall of the water collecting cover 30 , and the boss 310 is disposed on the water collecting cover 30 outside the first nozzle 40 .

[0027] In the present invention, the driving element 810 is a cylinder or an electric push rod, which is used to drive the lifting platform 20 to move upward, so as to drive the water collecting cover 30 to move upward.
