The water receiving net groove 31.3 is located outside the front panel groove 22.1 and below the discharge nozzle 26.

[0030] In this embodiment, the provision of the water receiving concave portion 31.2 facilitates the condensed water flowing out from the groove through hole 22.2 to enter the water receiving through holes 31.1, so as to avoid the water leakage problem caused by the surrounding flow of the condensed water. At the same time, the provision of the water receiving net groove 31.3 not only facilitates the automatic entry of the smoothies on the water receiving net plate 31 into the water receiving tray 30, but also can prevent the container from sliding when the container for receiving the smoothies is placed on the water receiving net groove 31.3.

[0031] The upper end of the groove through hole 22.2 protrudes in a direction away from the water receiving tray 30 and communicates with one end of the connecting pipe 10. The lower end of the groove through hole 22.2 protrudes in the direction of the water receiving tray 30 and extends to the water receiving concave portion 31.2. The drag frame through hole 13.1 protrudes in the direction of the water receiving tray 30 and communicates with the other end of the connecting pipe 10. Thereby, while improving the assembly stability of the connecting pipe 10, the automatic collection stability of the condensed water can also be ensured.

[0032] The positioning border 30.2 is provided with a border concave portion 30.3 corresponding to the position where the lower end of the groove through hole 22.2 protrudes.

[0033] In this embodiment, the provision of the border concave portion 30.3 can avoid the position where the lower end of the groove through hole 22.2 protrudes, so that the water receiving tray 30 and the water receiving net plate 31 can be disassembled and assembled freely on the front panel groove 22.1.

[0034] A material bucket support rod 12 is fixedly provided on the machine base 1. The material bucket drag frame 13 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the material bucket support rod 12.

The evaporator 3 is cylindrical and horizontally disposed in the material bucket 2. Stirring blades 4 driven by the drive motor 5 are provided on the evaporator 3. A compressor 8 cooperatively connected to the evaporator 3 is provided on the machine base 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, the drag frame partition 14 is integrally provided at the rear end of the material bucket drag frame 13. By using the material bucket support rod 12 to fix the material bucket drag frame 13, while improving the assembly stability of the material bucket drag frame 13, the stable assembly of the material bucket 2 can also be ensured.

[0037] A top plate support rod 19 is fixedly arranged on the machine base 1, a top plate fixing part 20 is arranged on the bucket carrier 13, the top plate fixing part 20 and the top plate support rod 19 are arranged front and back, and a top plate 21 is fixedly connected between the two. A housing 23 is fixedly connected to the top plate 21, and / or the machine base 1, and / or the top plate support rod 19. An assembly cavity is formed among the machine base 1, the top plate 21, the front panel 22, and the housing 23. A heat dissipation group 24 is arranged on the top plate support rod 19, and the heat dissipation group 24 is located at the rear side of the material bucket 2 and is suspended in the assembly cavity through the top plate support rod 19.

[0038] In this embodiment, the front panel 22 is fixed on the material bucket support rod 12 and the machine base 1, and the housing 23 is fixed on the top plate 21 and the machine base 1, thereby improving the assembly stability of the front panel 22 and the housing 23. The heat dissipation group 24 includes a heat dissipation fan and heat dissipation fins. The heat dissipation fan is fixed on the top plate support rod 19, and the heat dissipation fins are fixed on the heat dissipation fan. The cooperation of the heat dissipation fan and the heat dissipation fins can blow the heat in the assembly cavity. In addition, a plurality of housing heat dissipation holes for heat dissipation are also arranged on the housing 23. The suspended heat dissipation group 24 is beneficial to blowing the heat in the assembly cavity and can also make reasonable use of space.

[0039] A manual discharging assembly is arranged on the material bucket 2. The manual discharging assembly includes a handle 25, a material squeezing part 27, and an elastic part 28. Among them, a handle connecting part 29 is arranged at the front end of the material bucket 2. The handle 25 is rotatably arranged on the material bucket 2 through the handle connecting part 29 and is drivingly connected to the material squeezing part 27 located in the discharging nozzle 26 when rotating. The discharging nozzle 26 is communicated with the material bucket 2, and the discharging port of the discharging nozzle 26 faces downward. The elastic part 28 is arranged in the discharging nozzle 26 in the direction away from the discharging port of the discharging nozzle 26 and is elastically connected to the top wall of the discharging nozzle 26 and the material squeezing part 27 respectively.

[0040] When in use, the user applies a force on the handle 25 to make it rotate downward on the handle connecting part 29. When the handle 25 rotates, it drives the material squeezing part 27 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic part 28 and slide upward above the discharging nozzle 26. When the material squeezing part 27 slides upward to a certain position and exceeds the communication port between the discharging nozzle 26 and the material bucket 2, the smoothie in the material bucket 2 will enter the discharging nozzle 26. At this time, the force on the handle 25 disappears (that is, the user releases the handle 25), and the material squeezing part 27 slides downward through the elastic force of the elastic part 28. At the same time, the handle 25 rotates upward to reset. When the material squeezing part 27 slides downward, it will squeeze the smoothie in the discharging nozzle 26 out of the discharging port of the discharging nozzle 26.

[0041] The above is the preferred solution of the present utility model, which shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principle of the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed.
