Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of popcorn machines, in particular to a detachable popcorn machine chassis structure. Background Art
[0002] A popcorn maker is a device used to make popcorn. It's typically mounted on a cart with a housing for easy mobility, allowing it to be moved from one location to another for relocation or outdoor activities. The housing enhances the cart's structural stability and can also be used to store raw materials, auxiliary materials, tools, and accessories for convenient use.
[0003] The traditional popcorn machine case is welded in one piece, resulting in a large overall volume and increased transportation costs. In order to overcome this problem, popcorn machine case designs with detachable structures have begun to appear on the market. This design aims to split the case into multiple parts for easy transportation and installation. However, this detachable structure has exposed new problems in actual application: First, although the detachable design reduces the volume of a single part, excessive splitting leads to a large number of parts, which increases the complexity of the installation process. In addition, since the base mounted on the wheel and the base in contact with the ground are often designed to be different lengths to accommodate the installation of the wheel, however, this design can easily cause the base to be installed upside down during the actual assembly process. When it is installed upside down and cannot be used normally, it needs to be disassembled and reinstalled, which makes assembly difficult and the user experience poor. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a detachable popcorn machine chassis structure to solve one or more technical problems existing in the above-mentioned background technology.

The columns are fixedly connected to the fixed top beam, the fixed middle beam and the fixed bottom beam by welding.
[0014] Preferably, it further includes a second reinforcing beam, which is detachably connected to the middle and lower parts of the two fixing brackets by bolts.
[0015] Preferably, it further comprises a handle assembly, wherein the handle assembly is detachably connected to the end plate via bolts.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention splits the box into multiple components such as a bottom plate, a fixed bracket, an end plate and a side plate, wherein the end plate can be pre-installed on the fixed bracket, thereby significantly reducing the number of assembled parts, and the lateral volume occupied by a single component is small, which does not affect the overall packaging size and is convenient for transportation. The components are detachably connected by bolts or snaps, making the installation process simpler and faster, and can be completed without professional tools, greatly reducing the difficulty and time cost of installation. The fixed bracket of the integrated structure serves as the main supporting structure of the box, ensuring stability and strength, and the structures of the two fixed brackets are exactly the same.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.
[0024] A detachable popcorn machine chassis structure of this embodiment is shown in the attached Figure 1 and 2 , including a box body 1, the box body 1 includes a bottom plate 12, two groups of fixed brackets 11, the bottom plate 12, two end plates 13 and two side plates 14, the two groups of fixed brackets 11 are arranged front and back, the two end plates 13 and the two side plates 14 are enclosed on the outside of the two groups of fixed brackets 11, and the bottom plate 12 is detachably arranged between the two side plates 14 to form a box body 1 structure with five closed sides and an open top surface, the end plate 13 is detachably connected to the fixed brackets 11, and the two sides of the side plates 14 are detachably connected to the two groups of fixed brackets 11 respectively, and the fixed brackets 11 are an integrated structure.
[0025] In this embodiment, the box body 1 is split into multiple components, including a bottom plate 12, a fixed bracket 11, an end plate 13, and a side plate 14. The end plate 13 can be pre-installed on the fixed bracket 11, thereby significantly reducing the number of assembled parts. In addition, the lateral volume occupied by a single component is small, which does not affect the overall packaging size and is convenient for transportation. The components are detachably connected by bolts or snaps, making the installation process simpler and faster, and can be completed without professional tools, greatly reducing the difficulty and time cost of installation. The fixed bracket 11 with an integrated structure serves as the main supporting structure of the box body 1, ensuring stability and strength. Moreover, the structures of the two fixed brackets 11 are exactly the same. The wheel assembly 2 or the support rod 3 can be installed on the bottom of the two fixed brackets 11. There is no need to distinguish the installation direction during assembly, which reduces the difficulty of assembly.
[0026] Preferably, it also includes a wheel assembly 2 and a support rod 3. The wheel assembly 2 is detachably mounted on the bottom of one set of fixed brackets 11, and the support rod 3 is detachably mounted on the bottom of the other set of fixed brackets 11. The wheel assembly 2 and the support rod 3 are both detachably mounted on the bottom of the fixed brackets 11, which reduces the volume of a single assembly and facilitates transportation. When the wheel assembly 2 and the support rod 3 are not installed, the bottoms of the two fixed brackets 11 are flush, and there is no need to distinguish the installation order and direction of the two fixed brackets 11 during assembly, which reduces the difficulty of assembly. The wheel assembly 2 is mounted on the bottom of one set of fixed brackets 11 so that the chassis can be pushed as a whole, making it easy to move and use. The support rod 3 is mounted on the bottom of the other set of fixed brackets 11 to extend the bottom of the fixed brackets 11 to the ground, so that the box body 1 maintains balance when stationary.
[0027] Preferably, refer to the attached Figure 3 , further comprising a plurality of first reinforcing beams 15, which are detachably disposed between the two sets of fixed brackets 11. By adding the first reinforcing beams 15 as a support structure between the two sets of fixed brackets 11, the overall strength and rigidity of the box body 1 are improved, and deformation or damage to the box body 1 due to external forces is prevented.
[0028] Furthermore, the first reinforcing beam 15 is provided with a limit pin 151 at both ends, and the top of the fixed bracket 11 is provided with a U-shaped groove 111. The limit pin 151 matches the U-shaped groove 111, so that the top of the first reinforcing beam 15 is flush with the top of the fixed bracket 11, and the two end faces of the first reinforcing beam 15 respectively mate with the two sets of fixed brackets 11. The provision of the limit pin 151 and the U-shaped groove 111 facilitates the positioning of the first reinforcing beam 15 during the assembly process. The user only needs to align the limit pins 151 at both ends of the first reinforcing beam 15 with the U-shaped grooves 111 of the two sets of fixed brackets 11 and insert them to achieve a detachable connection between the first reinforcing beam 15 and the fixed bracket 11, without the need for additional positioning operations. After the limit pin 151 is aligned with the U-shaped groove 111, the two end faces of the first reinforcing beam 15 immediately mate with the two sets of fixed brackets 11, enhancing the integrity and structural stability of the chassis structure.
[0029] Preferably, refer to the attached Figure 4 A lower stop bar 141 is provided on one surface of the side panel 14, and an upper stop block 142 is located above the lower stop bar 141. A stop gap is formed between the lower stop bar 141 and the upper stop block 142, into which the left and right edges of the bottom panel 12 are inserted. The stop gap between the lower stop bar 141 and the upper stop block 142 ensures the positioning of the bottom panel 12 during assembly. During assembly, the bottom panel 12 can be installed by simply aligning its edges with the stop gaps and inserting it, without any additional adjustments or measurements.
[0030] Preferably, a fixed center beam 113 is provided in the middle of the fixed bracket 11, and the front and rear edges of the bottom plate 12 extend onto the fixed center beam 113. During assembly, when the edges of the bottom plate 12 are inserted into the limiting gaps and installed, the front and rear edges of the bottom plate 12 are located on the fixed center beam 113, and the fixed center beam 113 provides support for the front and rear edges of the bottom plate 12.
[0031] Preferably, the cabinet further comprises a door panel 16, wherein one of the side panels 14 is provided with a door opening, and the door panel 16 is hinged to the side panel 14 and covers the door opening. By arranging the door panel 16, it is convenient for users to store or take out items in the cabinet.
[0032] Preferably, the fixed bracket 11 includes a fixed top beam 112, a fixed middle beam 113, a fixed bottom beam 114, and two columns 115. The fixed top beam 112, the fixed middle beam 113, and the fixed bottom beam 114 are sequentially arranged in parallel vertically between the two columns 115. The columns 115 are fixedly connected to the fixed top beam 112, the fixed middle beam 113, and the fixed bottom beam 114 by welding. The use of welding to connect the fixed top beam 112, the fixed middle beam 113, and the fixed bottom beam 114 to the columns 115 not only improves the stability and rigidity of the chassis structure, but also simplifies the assembly process. During assembly, the fixed bracket 11 only needs to be installed as a whole, avoiding the increased difficulty of assembly caused by an excessive number of parts.
[0033] Preferably, a second reinforcing beam 17 is further included, and the second reinforcing beam 17 is detachably connected to the middle and lower portions of the two fixing brackets 11 by bolts. Removably connecting the second reinforcing beam 17 to the middle and lower portions of the two fixing brackets 11 by bolts improves the stability and rigidity of the middle and lower portions of the two sets of fixing brackets 11, and reduces structural deformation or damage caused by vibration or external forces.
[0034] Preferably, a handle assembly 4 is further included, which is detachably connected to the end plate 13 by bolts. The handle assembly 4 is provided to facilitate the user to hold and move the popcorn machine. The handle assembly 4 is detachably connected to the end plate 13, which reduces the lateral volume of the fixed bracket 11 in the disassembled state and facilitates transportation.
