Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cold drink machines, in particular to a placement tray structure of a cold drink machine. Background Art
[0002] In the technological development of the cold drink machine industry, when traditional cold drink machines deliver ice cream or smoothies, especially for relatively viscous and larger cold drink products such as smoothies, their operating procedures often rely on a stable placement plate to support and position the cup.
[0003] However, the distance between the dispensing port and the tray of the cold drink machine is fixed, which completely ignores the height difference of cups of different sizes and shapes, causing users to manually tilt the cup to align with the dispensing port when trying to use a taller cup to hold the smoothie. This operation not only increases the difficulty of operation for users, but also easily causes the smoothie to splash out due to improper operation, which not only wastes food ingredients, but also affects environmental hygiene and user experience.
[0004] Secondly, although the placement tray also plays the role of receiving occasional spills from the cold drink machine, the traditional design has significant deficiencies in cleaning and maintenance. Since the connection between the cold drink machine and the placement tray is usually relatively fixed and difficult to disassemble quickly, users face many inconveniences when cleaning the spills and smoothie residues on the placement tray. In addition, the placement tray is often designed to be flat or slightly inclined, and the residues easily accumulate in corners and gaps, making it difficult to completely remove. Over time, these residues will ferment and deteriorate, emitting an unpleasant odor, seriously affecting the use environment and food hygiene and safety. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above defects, the utility model proposes a placement tray structure for a cold drink machine. The placement tray is provided with a clamping portion and a first reinforcing rib, which can solve the problem that the distance between the discharge port of a traditional cold drink machine and the placement tray is fixed and the placement tray is easily damaged.

[0029] The following combines Figures 1 to 4 , and describes the placing tray structure of a cold drink machine according to an embodiment of the present utility model.
[0030] A placing tray structure of a cold drink machine includes a placing tray 1. The placing tray 1 is detachably installed on the machine body 2 of the cold drink machine. The machine body 2 includes a card slot 21. A clamping hole 22 is provided at the top of the card slot 21. The placing tray 1 includes a body 11 and a connecting block 12. The connecting block 12 includes an abutting part 13 and a clamping part 14. The clamping part 14 is clamped with the clamping hole 22, the abutting part 13 abuts against the groove wall of the card slot 21, and the body 11 rotates with the clamping part 14 as the axis;
[0031] The bottom of the abutting portion 13 is provided with a first reinforcing rib 15, the first reinforcing rib 15 connects the bottom of the abutting portion 13 and the bottom of the body 11, and the first reinforcing rib 15 is provided with an inclined surface.
[0032] In a placement tray structure of a cold drink machine according to this solution, the placement tray 1 is provided with a clamping portion 14, and the clamping portion 14 and the clamping hole 22 are clamped with each other, so that the placement tray 1 is detachably installed in the machine body 2, ensuring that the user can conveniently and quickly replace or clean the placement tray 1 on the machine body 2 according to needs, improving the use flexibility and hygiene of the cold drink machine.
[0033] Wherein, the body 11 rotates around the axis of the clamping portion 14, so that one side of the placement tray 1 is clamped with the machine body 2 and rotates within a certain range on the other side, facilitating the user to adjust the inclination angle of the placement tray 1 according to the actual length of the cup, so that the cup can be vertically placed at the bottom of the discharge port, reducing the difficulty of user operation and reducing the waste caused by the splashing of smoothies.
[0034] Moreover, a first reinforcing rib 15 is provided at the bottom of the abutting portion 13, and the first reinforcing rib 15 connects the bottom of the body 11 and the pressing portion, which not only increases the overall structural strength of the placement tray 1, but also improves the load-bearing capacity of the placement tray 1, making the placement tray 1 more stable when carrying heavy objects and reducing the risk of deformation caused by overloading.
[0035] In addition, the first reinforcing rib 15 is provided with an inclined surface, which can not only disperse stress and reduce the phenomenon of local stress concentration, but also play an avoidance effect, ensuring that during the rotation of the placement tray 1, the reinforcing rib will not interfere or collide with surrounding components, thus realizing spatial avoidance, helping to reduce the damage risk of the placement tray 1 and improving its service life.
[0036] The placement tray 1 in this solution is provided with a clamping portion 14 and a first reinforcing rib 15, which can solve the problems that there is a fixed distance between the discharge port of the traditional cold drink machine and the placement tray 1, and the placement tray 1 is easily damaged.
[0037] The abutting portion 13 is located on both sides of the clamping portion 14, and there is a gap between the abutting portion 13 and the clamping portion 14;
[0038] The abutting portion 13 abuts against the inner wall of the top of the clamping groove 21, the clamping portion 14 is clamped with the clamping hole 22, and the first reinforcing rib 15 abuts against the side wall of the clamping groove 21.
[0039] The existence of the gap enables the placement tray 1 to better adapt to the slight dimensional differences or manufacturing tolerances of the clamping groove 21 of the cold drink machine during the installation process, ensuring that different batches or models of cold drink machines can be compatible with the placement tray 1, improving the versatility and market adaptability of the placement tray 1 product.
[0040] Moreover, during long-term use, the slot 21 of the cold drink machine may undergo slight deformation due to factors such as material aging, temperature changes or mechanical vibrations. The design of the gap allows these deformations to occur within a certain range without causing the placement plate 1 and the slot 21 to become stuck or damaged, thereby extending the service life of the product.
[0041] In addition, during the operation of the cold drink machine, certain vibrations or impacts may be generated. The gap, as a buffer space, can absorb and disperse these vibrations and impact energies, reducing the impact on the placement tray 1 and the cold drink machine body 11. This helps to protect the internal structure of the cold drink machine and prevent damage or failure caused by vibration. The gap can also provide a certain shock absorption effect, reduce the impact damage to the placement tray 1, help maintain the integrity and stability of the placement tray 1, and extend its service life.
[0042] The end of the clamping portion 14 extends upward, and the end of the clamping portion 14 extends into the clamping hole 22 .
[0043] The end of the clamping portion 14 extends upward and into the clamping hole 22, forming a stable rotation axis, ensuring the stability of the placing plate 1 body 11 during the rotation process. Whether the user manually adjusts the position of the cup to better receive the smoothie, or the cold drink machine automatically adjusts the discharge port to accommodate cups of different sizes, this design can effectively reduce the shaking and instability of the placing plate 1 during the rotation process, thereby avoiding splashing or spilling of materials, and improving the accuracy of discharging and the safety of users.
[0044] The inclined surface is disposed away from the abutting portion 13 and the body 11 , and the inclined surface is inclined from top to bottom toward the bottom of the body 11 .
[0045] When the placement tray 1 needs to be rotated or adjusted, by setting the inclination angle of the inclined surface on the reinforcing rib, it can be ensured that the reinforcing rib will not interfere with or collide with surrounding components during the rotation of the placement tray 1, thereby achieving spatial avoidance.
[0046] The body 11 and the connecting block 12 are an integrally formed structure. During the integral forming process, the material is continuously transferred from the body 11 to the connecting block 12 without the need for additional connectors or adhesives, which helps to enhance the overall strength of the placement tray 1, improve the stability and reliability of the placement tray 1, and reduce the risk of material breakage or damage of the placement tray 1 due to stress concentration.
[0047] The inner wall of the placement tray 1 is provided with a plurality of vertical second reinforcing ribs 16. The vertical second reinforcing ribs 16 are distributed on the inner wall of the placement tray 1, which enhances the overall structural strength and rigidity of the placement tray 1, enables it to withstand greater loads and impacts, and reduces the risk of damage caused by deformation or cracking. Moreover, the reinforcing ribs can also reduce the vibration and shaking of the placement tray 1 when it is subjected to external forces, thereby improving the stability and safety of use.
[0048] A plurality of leakage holes 18 are provided on the top of the placing plate 1 , and the lengths of the plurality of leakage holes 18 are different.
[0049] By designing the leakage holes 18 of different lengths, a wider range of residue sizes can be covered. Whether it is fine debris or slightly larger particles, they can find the leakage holes 18 suitable for their sizes to pass through, thereby greatly improving the collection efficiency of the residue and reducing the possibility of residue remaining on the top of the placement plate 1.
[0050] The bottom ring of the placement plate 1 is provided with a damping strip 17, which is made of rubber material. During the operation of the equipment, the damping strip 17 can effectively absorb and reduce the energy generated by vibration, protecting the equipment and its surrounding facilities from damage. By reducing the noise generated by equipment vibration and friction, the damping strip 17 helps to create a quieter and more comfortable environment. In situations where it is necessary to prevent the equipment from sliding or moving, the damping strip 17 can provide additional friction to ensure that the equipment is placed stably.
[0051] The technical principle of the present invention is described above in combination with specific embodiments. These descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the present invention and cannot be interpreted as limiting the protection scope of the present invention in any way. Based on the explanations here, technicians in this field can think of other specific implementation methods of the present invention without creative work, and these methods will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
