[0020] Example:

[0021] The following is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0022] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0023] As attached Figure 1-4 The ice smoothie machine with a vertical layout of the air duct structure shown in the figure comprises an upper housing and a lower housing 1 arranged in upper and lower positions, an evaporator assembly 2, a heat dissipation fan assembly 3 and a condenser 4 are arranged inside the upper housing, the upper housing, the evaporator assembly 2 and the heat dissipation fan assembly 3 are arranged to form an air duct area 5 of the ice smoothie machine, an air inlet 6 and an air outlet 7 connected to the air duct area 5 are opened on the upper housing, and the condenser 4 is arranged at the air outlet 7; the compressor assembly 13 of the ice smoothie machine is arranged in the lower housing 1. The ice smoothie machine of this embodiment optimizes the layout and position setting of the main components such as the evaporator assembly 2, the heat dissipation fan assembly 3, the condenser 4 and the compressor, presenting a vertical layout structure in which the evaporator assembly 2, the heat dissipation fan assembly 3 and the condenser 4 are located in the upper part of the machine body, and the compressor and other components are located in the lower part of the machine body, forming a relatively more compact structural setting, improving the space utilization rate of the machine body, and making the size of the whole machine of the ice smoothie machine electrical product smaller and more delicate.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, as shown in the attached drawings, the air duct area 5 is formed in the middle of the upper housing, and the evaporator assembly 2 and the heat dissipation fan assembly 3 are arranged on both sides of the air duct area 5 in a first direction. For ease of understanding, the first direction here refers to the x-axis direction shown in the attached drawings. In the actual product structure, it specifically refers to the front and rear direction of the ice smoothie machine, that is, the heat dissipation hot air blown out by the heat dissipation fan assembly 3 is blown out to the rear of the ice smoothie machine. In this way, when the ice smoothie machine is working, after the external air enters the body from the air inlet 6, it only passes through a short air duct area 5 and is blown out through the heat dissipation fan assembly 3, continuously taking away the heat of the condenser 4. That is, under the structural setting of this embodiment, the heat dissipation air duct structure of the ice smoothie machine is shorter and smoother, which is conducive to improving the heat exchange efficiency of the ice smoothie machine.

[0025] Specifically, the air inlet 6 in this embodiment is opened on the two side walls of the upper housing along the second direction. Combined with the drawings, the second direction here refers to the y-axis direction shown in the drawings. In the actual product structure, it specifically refers to the left and right direction of the ice smoothie machine, that is, the external air enters the body from the left and right sides of the ice smoothie machine, and then forms a complete airflow heat dissipation path for the ice smoothie machine from the air outlet 7 under the action of the heat dissipation fan assembly 3, thereby realizing simple air cooling and heat dissipation of the ice smoothie machine.

[0026] It is feasible, as shown in the attached drawings, the air inlet 6 is a mesh air inlet 6, and is evenly distributed on the side wall corresponding to the position of the air duct area 5. As described above, after adopting the structural layout of this embodiment, the overall structural layout of the ice smoothie machine is relatively compact to meet the needs of miniaturization of electrical products. At the same time, the air duct area 5 of this embodiment is relatively small. In order to ensure that the ventilation efficiency of the air duct structure can meet the heat dissipation requirements of the ice smoothie machine, the mesh air inlet 6 of this embodiment fills the position of the side wall of the machine body corresponding to the air duct area 5.

[0027] In this embodiment, the evaporator assembly 2 is cylindrical, and a gap is left between it and the inner wall of the upper housing. Inside the ice smoothie machine, as long as the setting of the air duct structure can basically ensure that the airflow mainly enters from the air inlet 6 and is discharged from the air outlet 7 to achieve the heat dissipation effect, the air duct area 5 composed of the upper housing, the evaporator assembly 2 and the heat dissipation fan assembly 3 generally meets the heat dissipation requirements of the air duct of the ice smoothie machine. The gap set between the evaporator assembly 2 and the inner wall of the upper housing does not hinder the assembly of the housing of the ice smoothie machine, so that the assembly and assembly of the ice smoothie machine can be carried out more conveniently, and the housing structure of the ice smoothie machine can be set more flexibly.

[0028] As described above, referring to the accompanying drawings, as a feasible implementation, the upper housing of this embodiment includes a first upper housing 8 and a second upper housing 9, the evaporator assembly 2 and the air duct area 5 are located in the first upper housing 8, and the heat dissipation fan assembly 3 and the condenser 4 are located in the second upper housing 9. Preferably, the first upper housing 8 and the second upper housing 9 are detachably mounted and fixed on the lower housing 1. When assembling, the evaporator assembly 2, the heat dissipation fan assembly 3, the condenser 4 and other components can be assembled first, and then the first upper housing 8 and the second upper housing 9 can be installed and fixed to complete the assembly of the ice cream machine of this embodiment.

[0029] In this embodiment, a first buckle structure is provided on the upper end face of the lower housing 1, which is used to connect and fix the first upper housing 8 and the second upper housing 9. Specifically, as shown in the accompanying drawings, a plurality of first buckles 10 are provided on the upper end face of the lower housing 1, and first buckle holes (not shown in the accompanying drawings) are provided at corresponding positions on the first upper housing 8 and the second upper housing 9. During assembly, these first buckle structures can be quickly assembled to the lower housing 1 to complete the assembly of the ice smoothie machine housing. In this embodiment, the first upper housing 8 and the second upper housing 9 are arranged and installed in a split structure. Preferably, in order to improve the connection stability of the overall outer shell of the ice smoothie machine, as shown in the accompanying drawings, a second buckle structure is provided between the first upper housing 8 and the second upper housing 9 of this embodiment, which is used for the mutual connection and fixation between the first upper housing 8 and the second upper housing 9. Specifically, as shown in the accompanying drawings, a plurality of second buckles 11 are arranged on the end surface where the second upper shell 9 contacts the first upper shell 8, and a second buckle hole 12 is arranged at the corresponding position of the corresponding end surface of the first upper shell 8. During assembly, the first upper shell 8 and the second upper shell 9 can be connected and fixed together through the second buckle structure, which facilitates the assembly of the smoothie machine shell and increases the stability of the connection.

[0030] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the utility model, which should not be construed as limiting the claims. The utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and its specific structure is allowed to be changed. In short, all changes made within the protection scope of the independent claims of the utility model are within the protection scope of the utility model.
