The barrel is sealed and assembled on the evaporator 16 through the inner barrel assembly port 3, and the evaporator 16 and the stirring blade 17 extend into the inner barrel 1 through the inner barrel assembly port 3.

[0027] The pipeline of the compressor is interconnected with the pipeline of the evaporator 16, so that the evaporator 16 generates cold energy to cool the food in the inner barrel 1. When working, the driver drives the stirring blade 17 to rotate to stir the food in the inner barrel 1 and push the food in the inner barrel 1 to the inner barrel discharge port 4.

[0028] The outer barrel is made of transparent or opaque material and is composed of at least two outer barrel components. The at least two outer barrel components are arranged up and down and / or left and right and surround the outer periphery of the inner barrel 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the outer barrel is made of a frosted transparent material to facilitate the user to observe the condition of the inner barrel 1 .

[0030] At least two outer barrel components include an outer barrel upper component 6 and an outer barrel lower component 7. The outer barrel upper component 6 is provided with an upper positioning portion 6.1, and the outer barrel lower component 7 is provided with a lower positioning portion 7.1. The outer barrel upper component 6 and the outer barrel lower component 7 are positioned and matched with each other through the upper positioning portion 6.1 and the lower positioning portion 7.1, and respectively surround the upper and lower positions of the inner barrel 1.

The front end of the outer barrel lower component 7 is provided with a lower front end surrounding portion 7.4, and the rear end is provided with an outer barrel lower half opening 7.5. The outer barrel lower component 7 surrounds the lower front end portion of the inner barrel 1 through the lower front end surrounding portion 7.4. The outer barrel upper half opening 6.5 and the outer barrel lower half opening 7.5 respectively avoid the inner barrel assembly port 3.

[0033] In this embodiment, the outer periphery of the inner barrel feed port 2 is wrapped by the discharge port surrounding portion 6.2, the upper half surrounding portion 6.3 is used to wrap the upper half of the inner barrel 1, the lower half surrounding portion 7.2 is used to wrap the lower half of the inner barrel 1, the upper front end surrounding portion 6.4 is used to wrap the upper front end of the inner barrel 1, and the lower front end surrounding portion 7.4 is used to wrap the lower front end of the inner barrel 1. Finally, the upper half opening 6.5 of the outer barrel and the lower half opening 7.5 of the outer barrel are used to avoid the inner barrel assembly port 3, so that the outer periphery of the inner barrel 1 can be wrapped by the outer barrel upper component 6 and the outer barrel lower component 7.

[0034] In addition, an inner barrel partition cavity 5 is formed between the discharge port surrounding portion 6.2 and the inner barrel feed port 2, between the upper half surrounding portion 6.3 and the upper half of the inner barrel 1, between the lower half surrounding portion 7.2 and the lower half of the inner barrel 1, between the upper front end surrounding portion 6.4 and the upper half of the front end of the inner barrel 1, and between the lower front end surrounding portion 7.4 and the lower half of the front end of the inner barrel 1, so as to effectively reduce the loss of cold in the inner barrel 1 to the outside and the formation of condensed water.

[0035] A lower surrounding notch 7.3 is provided at the bottom of the lower semi-enclosing portion 7.2, and a lower connecting plate 9 is detachably mounted on the lower surrounding notch 7.3.

[0036] In this embodiment, the lower connecting plate 9 is detachably mounted on the lower surrounding notch 7.3 by means of snaps, so that the user can perform daily maintenance on the surface of the inner barrel 1 through the lower surrounding notch 7.3.

[0037] The inner barrel 1 is provided with a discharge guide column 11, which is longitudinally protruded at the front end of the inner barrel 1, and its interior is connected with the inner barrel discharge port 4. An upper notch 6.6 and a lower notch 7.6 are respectively provided on the upper front end surrounding portion 6.4 and the lower front end surrounding portion 7.4, and the upper notch 6.6 and the lower notch 7.6 avoid the discharge guide column 11 respectively.

[0038] The top of the discharge guide column 11 is closed, and a guide discharge port 12 is provided at the bottom. A handle connecting portion 29 is provided on the front side. An extruding piece 27 and an elastic piece 28 are provided inside the discharge guide column 11. A handle 25 is rotatably provided on the handle connecting portion 29. The inner end of the handle 25 extends into the discharge guide column 11 and is drivingly connected to the extruding piece 27. The elastic piece 28 is provided in the discharge guide column 11 in a direction away from the guide discharge port 12, and is elastically connected to the top wall of the discharge guide column 11 and the extruding piece 27, respectively.

[0039] When in use, the user uses his hand to act on the handle 25 to rotate it downward on the handle connecting portion 29. When the handle 25 rotates, it drives the extruding member 27 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 28 and slide toward the top of the discharge guide column 11. When the extruding member 27 slides upward to a certain position and exceeds the inner barrel discharge port 4, the smoothie in the inner barrel 1 will enter the discharge guide column 11 through the inner barrel discharge port 4. At this time, the force on the handle 25 disappears (that is, the hand releases the handle 25), and the extruding member 27 slides toward the bottom of the guide discharge port 12 due to the elastic force of the elastic member 28. At the same time, the handle 25 rotates upward to reset. When the extruding member 27 slides downward, it will squeeze the smoothie in the discharge guide column 11 out of the guide discharge port 12.

[0040] In this embodiment, a pattern piece 18 is further provided on the guide outlet 12 so that the slush squeezed out of the guide outlet 12 is formed into different patterns through the pattern piece 18 .

A decorative plate 13 is positioned on the upper and lower positioning steps. A decorative plate notch 14 is provided on the decorative plate 13. The handle connecting portion 29 extends out of the decorative plate notch 14, and the inner end of the handle 25 extends into the discharge guide column 11 through the decorative plate notch 14.

[0042] In this embodiment, the provision of the decorative plate 13 not only improves the assembly stability of the outer barrel upper component 6 and the outer barrel lower component 7, but also shields the discharge guide column 11, thereby improving the overall appearance of the barrel.

[0043] The above is a preferred embodiment of the utility model, which shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. The utility model may have various changes and improvements without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, and these changes and improvements fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected, and the scope of protection of the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
