[0002] When the snow melter is operating, it cools and blends the food in the barrel into a paste or slushy slush. When ready to eat, a valve opens the outlet, allowing the food to be discharged. The barrel requires cleaning, and existing valves are difficult to separate from the barrel, making cleaning difficult. Furthermore, the valve protrudes from the barrel, taking up space and increasing the packaging size of the snow melter. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved and the technical task proposed by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the existing snow melter valve caused by the inconvenience of disassembly and assembly, the trouble of cleaning, and the increase in the packaging size of the snow melter product, and provide a snow melter outlet valve assembly structure, which aims to increase the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the valve, easy to clean, and reduce the packaging volume of the product.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the snow melter outlet valve assembly structure of the utility model includes:

[0005] a barrel having a transverse discharge port;

[0006] The valve comprises a vertical lever, a sealing cover and a spring, wherein the sealing cover is disposed at the lower end of the lever, and the spring comprises a first section and a second section, wherein the first section is connected to the lever and the second section is bent relative to the first section;

[0007] Among them, the lever and the front wall of the barrel are separately configured with an axis and an open axis hole, the axis is clamped in the open axis hole to assemble the valve on the barrel, the second section of the spring is supported on the barrel to apply elastic force to the lever to prompt the sealing cover to block the discharge port, and overcome the elastic force of the spring to cause the lever to tilt and the sealing cover to open the discharge port.

[0008] By applying force to the valve, the shaft can be easily engaged with the open hole to assemble the valve to the barrel, or disengaged from the open hole to remove the valve from the barrel. Once the valve is removed from the barrel, it is easy to rinse and occupies a small space, which can reduce the packaging volume of the product.

[0009] Preferably, the open axial holes include at least two coaxially arranged ones, and different axial sections of the shaft are clamped in each of the open axial holes. Accordingly, the valve can be stably assembled on the barrel to avoid valve shaking.

[0010] Preferably, the spring is a linear torsion spring, the first section of which is sleeved on the pin on the lever, and the middle section is bent and straddles the positioning portion on the lever. The spring structure of this structure is simple and easy to clean.

[0011] Preferably, the spring includes a left section and a right section that are connected as one and are bilaterally symmetrical, and each of the left section and the right section includes a first section and a second section. Accordingly, the spring applies a uniform elastic force to the lever, thereby preventing the lever from being deflected due to the force, resulting in the sealing cover not sealing the discharge port tightly.

[0012] Preferably, a handle is provided on the upper end of the lever, and the handle is manipulated to tilt the lever and open the discharge port, which is convenient for operation.

[0013] Preferably, when the lever is tilted, the upper end of the lever is brought close to the barrel to open the discharge port. In this way, the barrel can be used to limit the amplitude of the lever tilting to avoid excessive tilting that causes the shaft to disengage from the open shaft hole.

[0014] Preferably, a contact portion is provided on the lever, and when the lever is tilted and the discharge port is opened, the contact portion contacts the barrel to limit the lever. This can buffer the contact between the lever and the barrel and play a protective role.

[0015] Preferably, a discharge mask is mounted on the barrel, shielding the discharge port, the lower end of the lever, and the sealing cover. The lower portion of the discharge mask has a discharge channel. This mask prevents food from splashing when discharging from the discharge port. The mounting structure of the discharge mask also facilitates disassembly and cleaning.

[0016] Preferably, the discharge mask has a bilaterally symmetrical and elastically deformable folding edge, a first slot is provided on the folding edge, and a bilaterally symmetrical second slot is provided on the front wall of the barrel. The first slot is correspondingly engaged with the second slot to assemble the discharge mask to the barrel. This structure is simple and facilitates assembly and removal.

[0017] Preferably, the second card slot is provided on the ear portion, and the ear portion is provided with a guide edge for guiding the first card slot and the second card slot to be engaged.

[0018] This utility model utilizes a valve assembly. The valve lever is separated from the front wall of the barrel, and the shaft and opening are configured separately. The shaft is clamped into the opening to assemble the valve to the barrel. The second section of the spring, supported by the barrel, applies elastic force to the lever, causing the sealing cover to block the discharge port. Overcoming the spring force causes the lever to tilt, and the sealing cover to open the discharge port. Thus, by applying external force to the valve, the shaft can be easily clamped into the opening to assemble the valve to the barrel, or the shaft can be disengaged from the opening to remove the valve from the barrel. After the valve is removed from the barrel, it is easy to rinse, occupies a small space, and can reduce the packaging volume of the product.

[0019] This utility model also features a discharge mask that snaps onto the barrel. The discharge port, the lower end of the lever, and the sealing cover are shielded by the mask, which has a discharge channel at its lower portion. This mask prevents food from splashing when discharging from the discharge port. The snap-on structure also makes the discharge mask easy to disassemble and clean, and removing it also reduces the product packaging volume. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] The terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the description and claims of the present utility model are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a method or product that includes a series of technical features is not necessarily limited to those technical features clearly listed, and may also include other technical features that are not clearly listed and can be included in the method or product.

[0036] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0037] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2-4 、 Figure 5-7 As shown, the snow melter discharge port valve assembly structure includes a barrel 100, a valve 200 and a discharge port cover 300.

[0038] The barrel 100 has a transverse discharge opening 101. The barrel 100 can be removed from the body of the snow melter for cleaning.

[0039] Valve 200 Figure 5-6 The diagram includes a vertical lever 210, a sealing cap 220, and a spring 230. The sealing cap 220 is disposed at the lower end of the lever 210. The spring 230 includes a first section 231 and a second section 232. The first section 231 is connected to the lever 210, and the second section 232 is bent relative to the first section 231. Thus, the lever 210, sealing cap 220, and spring 230 are assembled together to form an assembly.

[0040] Among them, such as Figure 5-6 As shown, a shaft 211 is disposed on the lever 210, and an open shaft hole 103 is disposed on the front wall 102 of the barrel 100. The shaft 211 is clamped into the open shaft hole 103, assembling the valve 200 to the barrel 100. The second section 232 of the spring 230 is supported on the front wall 102 of the barrel, exerting a spring force on the lever 210 to force the sealing cover 220 to block the discharge port 101. This overcomes the spring force, causing the lever 210 to tilt and the sealing cover 220 to open the discharge port 101. In other embodiments, the shaft 211 and the open shaft hole 103 may be interchangeable.

[0041] In the illustrated structure, the open axial holes 103 include at least two coaxially arranged ones, and different axial sections of the shaft 211 are clamped in each of the open axial holes. Accordingly, the valve can be stably assembled on the barrel to prevent the valve from shaking.

[0042] In the illustrated structure, spring 230 is a linear torsion spring. Its first section 231 is fitted over the pin 212 on the lever 210. Its middle section is bent and straddles the positioning portion 213 on the lever 210. This spring structure is simple and easy to clean. Specifically, spring 230 includes a left section 233 and a right section 234 that are integrally connected and bilaterally symmetrical. Both the left section 233 and the right section 234 include a first section 231 and a second section 232. Therefore, spring 230 has two bilaterally symmetrical first sections 231 and two bilaterally symmetrical second sections 232. Correspondingly, the pin 211 on the lever 210 also has two bilaterally symmetrical first sections. This allows the spring to apply a uniform elastic force to the lever, preventing the lever from being misaligned and causing the sealing cover to not tightly seal the discharge port.

[0043] In the illustrated structure, a handle 214 is located at the upper end of lever 210. Operating handle 214 tilts lever 210, opening discharge port 101 and facilitating valve operation. Specifically, tilting the lever brings the upper end of lever 210 closer to barrel 100, opening discharge port 101. This allows the barrel to limit the lever's tilting range, preventing excessive tilting that could cause the shaft to disengage from the open shaft hole.

[0044] In the illustrated structure, a contact portion 215 is provided on the lever 210. When the lever 210 is tilted and the discharge port 101 is opened, the contact portion 215 contacts the barrel 100 to limit the lever 210. This can buffer the contact between the lever and the barrel and play a protective role.

[0045] In the illustrated structure, a discharge mask 300 is mounted on the barrel 100. The discharge port 101, the lower end of the lever 210, and the sealing cover 220 are shielded by the discharge mask 300. The lower portion of the discharge mask 300 has a discharge channel 301. When discharging food from the discharge port 101, the discharge mask 300 prevents food from splashing. Specifically, the discharge mask 300 has a bilaterally symmetrical, elastically deformable fold 302 with a first retaining groove 303. The front wall of the barrel 100 is provided with a bilaterally symmetrical second retaining groove 104. The first retaining groove 303 retains the second retaining groove 104 in a one-to-one correspondence, attaching the discharge mask to the barrel. This simple structure facilitates assembly and removal. Furthermore, the second retaining groove 104 is provided on an ear 105, which has a guide edge 106 for guiding the engagement of the first and second retaining grooves.

[0046] When disassembling, first remove the discharge mask 300, and then remove the valve 200. When installing, first install the valve 200, and then install the discharge mask 300.

[0047] When disassembling the discharge mask 300, use appropriate force to separate the two folding edges 302 to disengage the first card slot 303 from the second card slot 104, and then you can remove the discharge mask 300 forward. Figure 5By applying external force to the upper right of the handheld valve 200, the shaft 211 can be disengaged from the open shaft hole 103 to remove the valve 200 from the barrel 100. After the discharge mask and the valve are removed from the barrel, it is convenient to rinse, occupies a small volume, and can reduce the packaging volume of the product.

[0048] When installing valve 200, if Figure 5 By applying external force to the lower left of the handheld valve 200, the shaft 211 can be snapped into the open shaft hole 103, thereby assembling the valve 200 to the barrel 100. When installing the discharge cover 300, align the first slot 303 with the second slot 104, push the discharge cover 300 backward, and the first slot 303 and the second slot 104 can be snapped together under the guidance of the guide edge 106.

[0049] As described above, the disassembly and assembly of the discharge mask and the valve are easy to operate.
