[0034] By setting up a locking structure, the material barrel 3 can be detachably fixed on the motor base 2. When the locking component 4 is separated from the clamping component 5, the material barrel 3 can be removed from the motor base 2, which is convenient for cleaning the material barrel 3; when the locking component 4 is engaged with the clamping component 5, the material barrel 3 can be locked and fixed on the motor base 2, thereby sealing the cavity surrounded by the material barrel 3 and the motor base 2 and improving the convenience of installing the material barrel 3.
[0035] Furthermore, the locking assembly 4 includes a rotating member 41 and a locking portion 42 , wherein the locking portion 42 is fixed to the rotating member 41 ; the clamping assembly 5 includes a clamping portion 51 , wherein the clamping portion 51 is configured to be engaged with the locking portion 42 .
[0036] Through the above-mentioned structural setting, when the locking portion 42 is engaged with the clamping portion 51, the material barrel 3 can be fixed on the motor base 2; when the locking portion 42 is separated from the clamping portion 51, the material barrel 3 can be removed from the motor base 2.
[0037] Furthermore, the clamping assembly 5 further includes a guide portion 52 fixedly connected to the first end of the locking portion 42. After the locking portion 42 rotates in a first direction until it contacts the guide portion 52, it can fall into the clamping portion 51 along the guide portion 52. In this embodiment, the first direction is clockwise.
[0038] The guide portion 52 guides the rotation of the locking portion 42, so that the locking portion 42 can fall into the limiting portion 53 along the guide portion 52 after rotating in the clockwise direction until it contacts the guide portion 52; when the locking portion 42 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the locking portion 42 can rotate along the guide portion 52 and separate from the snap-fit assembly 5.
[0039] Furthermore, the clamping assembly 5 further includes a limiting portion 53 , and the limiting portion 53 is fixedly connected to the second end of the locking portion 42 .
[0040] Through the above-mentioned structural arrangement, when the locking portion 42 falls into the engaging portion 51 , the limiting portion 53 can prevent the locking portion 42 from continuing to rotate along the first direction.
[0041] Furthermore, the rotating member 41 is provided with an arc-shaped guide groove 43 , and the motor base 2 is provided with a guide post 21 that cooperates with the arc-shaped guide groove 43 .
[0042] By providing the arc-shaped guide groove 43 and cooperating with the guide column 21 , the stability of the rotation of the rotating member 41 relative to the motor base 2 is improved.
[0043] Specifically, when the guide post 21 slides to the first end of the arcuate guide slot 43, the lock assembly 4 engages with the snap assembly 5; when the guide post 21 slides to the second end of the arcuate guide slot 43, the lock assembly 4 separates from the snap assembly 5. The arcuate guide slot 43 also serves to limit the rotation range of the lock assembly 4.
[0044] Furthermore, the locking assembly 4 further includes a rotating shaft 44 , a first end of which is fixed to the rotating member 41 , and a second end of which passes through the assembly hole 22 of the motor base 2 and is fixedly connected to the limiting member 45 .
[0045] The limiting member 45 can prevent the rotating shaft 44 from being separated from the assembly hole 22 ; the rotating member 41 can rotate around the rotating shaft 44 and thus can rotate relative to the motor base 2 .
[0046] Furthermore, the locking assembly 4 further includes a handle 46 , and the handle 46 is fixed on the rotating member 41 .
[0047] By holding the handle 46 , the locking assembly 4 can be driven to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the motor base 2 , so that the locking assembly 4 is engaged with or separated from the clamping assembly 5 .
[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, the present invention further provides a snow melting machine, comprising the above-mentioned locking structure, a material barrel 3 and a motor base 2, wherein the material barrel 3 is detachably fixed to the motor base 2 via the locking structure.
[0049] Furthermore, it also includes a body body 1, the motor base 2 is fixed on the body body 1, a motor (not shown in the figure) is provided in the motor base 2, an agitator (not shown in the figure) is provided in the barrel 3, and the output shaft of the motor passes through the motor base 2 and is connected to the agitator.
[0050] When the snow melting machine of the present invention is in use, the material barrel 3 is placed tightly against the motor base 2, and then the handle 46 is held to drive the rotating part 41 to rotate clockwise until the locking portion 42 contacts the guide portion 52; then the rotating part 41 is continued to be driven to rotate clockwise, and the locking portion 42 will slide along the guide portion 52 until it falls into the clamping portion 51, and is blocked by the limiting portion 53 from continuing to rotate clockwise; at this time, the material barrel 3 is locked and fixed on the motor base 2, and the guide column 21 slides to the first end of the arc-shaped guide groove 43; then the juice or other liquid is poured into the cavity surrounded by the material barrel 3 and the motor base 2. When the snow melter is finished using, the handheld handle 46 drives the rotating part 41 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction, the locking part 42 is separated from the clamping part 51, and rotates along the guide part 52 until the locking part 42 and the guide part 52 are released from contact, so that the locking assembly 4 is separated from the clamping assembly 5, and the material barrel 3 is removed from the motor base 2 and the material barrel 3 is cleaned.
[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the structure, features and principles described in the scope of the present invention patent application are included in the scope of the present invention patent application.
