[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] See also Figure 1-Figure 7 A cutter structure for an ice cream machine includes a base 10, on which a cutter 20 is detachably mounted. The cutter 20 includes a cutter shaft 30 and a cutter head 40 disposed on the cutter shaft 30. The cutter shaft 30 is detachably connected to the base 10. The detachable cutter shaft allows for daily cleaning by removing the cutter shaft and the cutter head together, which not only facilitates operation but also ensures the hygiene of the cutter shaft.

[0028] See also Figure 5 The blade shaft 30 includes an outer blade shaft 310 and an inner blade shaft 320 rotatably disposed inside the outer blade shaft 310. The upper and lower ends of the inner blade shaft 320 pass through the outer blade shaft 310 and extend to the outside. The blade head 40 is disposed at the lower end of the inner blade shaft 320.

[0029] The outer blade shaft 310 is detachably connected to the base 10 .

[0030] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The outer blade shaft 310 is provided with a shaft sleeve 330 , and the outer wall of the shaft sleeve 330 is provided with a slot 340 ;

[0031] The base 10 is provided with a plug-in bracket 50, and the plug-in bracket 50 is provided with a plug-in hole 510, and the shaft sleeve 330 can be movably inserted into the plug-in hole 510. The plug-in bracket 50 is movably provided with a locking bracket 520, and the locking bracket 520 is provided with a clamping member 550 that can be clamped into the clamping slot 340;

[0032] The base 10 is provided with an elastic member 540 for applying a force to the locking bracket 520 to keep the locking member 550 in the locking slot 340 .

[0033] When the blade shaft 30 is inserted into the insertion hole 510, the locking bracket 520 is driven by the elastic member 540 to drive the clamping member 550 to be clamped into the clamping slot 340. The clamping member 550 is clamped into the clamping slot 340 to constrain the upper and lower positions of the blade shaft 30 so that the blade shaft 30 cannot be separated from the insertion hole 510.

[0034] Furthermore, the locking bracket 520 is movably arranged left and right relative to the plug-in bracket 50 .

[0035] See also Figure 3 The locking bracket 520 is connected to a button 530 for applying force to the locking bracket 520 .

[0036] During disassembly, by applying force to the button 530, the locking bracket 520 is driven to move the card 550 toward the side away from the card slot 340. During its movement, the elastic action member 540 is compressed until the card 550 is disengaged from the card slot 340, thereby unlocking. In the unlocked state, the user can hold the blade shaft 30 and pull it out downward to achieve disassembly.

[0037] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 A transmission gear shaft 360 is provided at the upper end of the inner knife shaft 320, and a transmission element 60 is rotatably provided on the base 10. The transmission element 60 is provided with a transmission tooth groove 610 with an opening at the lower end. The transmission gear shaft 360 and the transmission tooth groove 610 are plugged in and matched to realize rotation.

[0038] See also Figure 5 A bearing 370 is provided between the inner wall of the outer blade shaft 310 and the outer wall of the inner blade shaft 320.

[0039] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 A guide ramp 350 is provided on the outer wall of the sleeve 330; when the knife shaft 30 is upwardly inserted into the socket 510 for assembly, the guide ramp 350 is squeezed with the clamping piece 550. During this process, the guide ramp 350 pushes the locking bracket 520 to compress the elastic acting member 540 until the knife shaft 30 moves upward to the position corresponding to the card slot 340 and the clamping piece 550. The elastic acting member 540 drives the locking bracket 520 to reset, so that the clamping piece 550 is clamped into the card slot 340 to constrain the upper and lower positions of the knife shaft 30.

[0040] When the blade shaft 30 is inserted into the insertion hole 510 , the guide ramp 350 can press the clamping member 550 to drive the locking bracket 520 to move relative to the insertion bracket 50 and compress the elastic member 540 .

[0041] In the present invention, the elastic member 540 is preferably a spring.

[0042] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 The blade head 40 includes a shaft portion 410 connected to the blade shaft 30. The shaft portion 410 is provided with multiple blades 420. Each blade 420 is provided with an ice-shaving blade 430 on one side and a mixing blade 440 on the other side. A whipping blade 450 is provided on the lower end surface of the shaft portion 410. When the blade head 40 rotates forward, the ice-shaving blades 430 come into contact with the ice to shave the ice. When the blade head 40 rotates backward, the mixing blade 440 can stir the shaved ice to further mix the ice.

[0043] See also Figure 7Each blade 420 has at least two groups of ice-shaving blades 430, and a knife pit 460 is provided between the two groups of ice-shaving blades 430. The function of the knife pit 460 is to disperse the shaved ice and to keep the cutter balanced.
