[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following will describe this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," and "outer," etc., appearing or about to appear in this document, are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.

[0033] See Figure 1-7 This utility model discloses a support frame, including a support platform 1 and support feet 2 and support bases 3 respectively installed at the bottom of the support platform 1, wherein the support platform 1 is fixedly connected to the support feet 2 and support bases 3 respectively.

[0034] The support platform 1 is fixed relative to the support foot 2 via a first connecting component, and the support platform 1 is fixed relative to the support base 3 via a second connecting component.

[0035] The first connecting component includes a limiting member, and the second connecting component includes a first positioning member. The limiting member and the first positioning member are located at the bottom of the support platform 1.

[0036] The present invention provides a support frame including a support platform and support feet and support seats respectively installed at the bottom of the support platform. The support platform is limited to the support feet and support seats by a first connecting component and a second connecting component, respectively, to prevent the relative position of the support platform and the support feet and support seats from changing due to external forces during use. This ensures reliable connection between the support platform and the support feet and support seats, thereby making the overall structure strong.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, the limiting member is a limiting block 11 located at the bottom of the support platform 1, and the support foot 2 abuts against the limiting block 11 to limit the displacement of the support foot 2; the first positioning member is a first positioning platform 13 located at the bottom of the support platform 1, and the first positioning platform 13 is embedded in the top of the support seat 3 to limit the displacement of the support seat 3.

[0038] The bottom of the support platform is equipped with a limiting block, and the support foot abuts against the limiting block to prevent the support foot from moving relative to the support platform; the bottom of the support platform is equipped with a first positioning platform, which is embedded in the top of the support seat to prevent the support seat from moving relative to the support platform. Its structure is simple, the connection is reliable, and the strength is high.

[0039] More specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the support leg 2 includes a connecting strip 21 and a base plate 22 respectively disposed at both ends of the connecting strip 21. The bottom of the support platform 1 is provided with a positioning block 12; the connecting strip 21 is provided with a positioning hole 211, and the positioning block 12 passes through the positioning hole 211. The matching arrangement of the positioning block and the positioning hole prevents the support leg from shifting in all directions, prevents the support platform and the support leg from separating due to loosening, enhances the reliability and stability of the support frame structure, and increases its connection strength.

[0040] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first connecting component includes at least two limiting blocks 11, which are located on opposite sides of the connecting strip 21 and abut against it respectively. The positioning block and the limiting block cooperate to prevent the connecting strip from rotating around the positioning block, further restricting the displacement of the support leg.

[0041] More preferably, the limiting block 11 and the positioning block 12 are staggered. By staggering the limiting block and the positioning block, two limiting points are formed on the same straight line, further ensuring that the support leg does not rotate or move.

[0042] It should be noted that the support platform 1 and the connecting strip 21 are respectively provided with fastening through holes, and the support platform and the connecting strip are fixedly connected by screws. There are two sets of the first connecting components, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support platform 1.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 3-5 As shown, the top of the support base 3 is provided with a connecting platform 31, and the connecting platform 31 is provided with a first positioning groove 311, in which the first positioning table 13 is embedded. The first positioning table and the first positioning groove cooperate to perform lateral positioning between the support platform and the support base. It should be noted that the connecting platform and the first positioning table are respectively provided with fastening through holes, and the connecting platform and the first positioning table are fixedly connected by screws.

[0044] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second connecting assembly further includes a second positioning platform 14; the top of the support base 3 is provided with a connecting block 32, which extends from the connecting platform 31 to one side of the connecting platform 31 to form a second positioning groove 321; the second positioning platform 14 is embedded in the second positioning groove 321. The second positioning platform and the second positioning groove cooperate to perform longitudinal positioning between the support platform and the support base. It should be noted that the connecting block and the second positioning platform are respectively provided with fastening through holes, and the connecting block and the second positioning platform are fixedly connected by screws. There are two sets of the second connecting assembly, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support platform.

[0045] It can be seen that the cooperation between the first positioning platform 13 and the first positioning groove 311, as well as the cooperation between the second positioning platform 14 and the second positioning groove 321, can restrict the support seat from moving in all directions, thereby enhancing the reliability and stability of the support frame structure and increasing its connection strength.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 6 As shown in Figure 7, this utility model also includes a base 4, and the bottoms of the support legs 2 and the support base 3 are respectively fixedly connected to the base 4. The fixed connection between the support legs and the support base prevents their bottoms from shifting due to external forces, thereby ensuring the reliability of the support platform and further increasing the overall structural strength.

[0047] Specifically, the base 4 is provided with a first fixing block 41 and a second fixing block 42, and the script body 22 is fixedly connected to the first fixing block 41; the bottom of the support base 3 is provided with a support block 33, and the support block 33 is fixedly connected to the second fixing block 42. The script body and the first fixing block cooperate to fix the support foot on the base; the support block and the second fixing block cooperate to fix the support base on the base. The structure is simple, reliable, and stable.

[0048] Accordingly, see Figure 1-7 This utility model also discloses a cold drink machine, including a housing 9 and a feeding device, a compressor 7, and the aforementioned support frame disposed within the housing 9; a feeding area is provided on the support platform 1, and the feeding device is disposed within the feeding area; a cooling area is provided below the support platform 1, and a cooling device is disposed within the cooling area, with the feeding device and the cooling device connected. The specific structure of the support frame is as described above and will not be repeated here. The feeding device is installed on the upper layer of the support frame, and the cooling device is installed on the lower layer, so that the feeding device and the cooling device do not affect or interfere with each other during operation, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the entire machine.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , 6 As shown in Figure 7, the material preparation device includes an evaporator (not shown), a stirring paddle (not shown) located inside the evaporator, a drive motor 6 connected to the stirring paddle, and an electronic control board 10 electrically connected to the drive motor 6. The cooling device includes a heat exchange fan 8, a compressor 7, and a condenser (not shown). The compressor 7 is mounted on the base 4, and the condenser and the heat exchange fan 8 are respectively mounted on the support base 3. The compressor 7 is connected to both the evaporator and the condenser, and the condenser is connected to the evaporator. The heat exchange fan 8 is located between the compressor 7 and the condenser. The compressor is mounted on the base, and the condenser is mounted on the support base, making full use of the space below the support platform, resulting in a compact and reasonable structure. The compressor compresses the ice-making gas and delivers it to the condenser. After condensation, it forms a refrigerant liquid, which is then delivered to the refrigeration pipes of the evaporator to absorb heat from the evaporator. After heat exchange, the liquid returns to the compressor, and this cycle continues continuously.

[0050] The drive motor continuously rotates the stirring paddle within the evaporator to break up the produced ice. An electronic control board controls the operation of the drive motor. The support platform 1 is equipped with a first fastening block 15 and a mounting groove 16, and the bottom of the insulation shell 5 is equipped with a second fastening block (not shown). The first fastening block 15 and the second fastening block are fixedly connected; the drive motor 6 is placed within the mounting groove 16.

[0051] The mounting slot ensures the drive motor is stably mounted on the support platform, preventing displacement. The first and second fastening blocks work together to reliably and stably mount the ice container and insulation shell on the support platform, preventing movement and ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire machine structure.

[0052] Specifically, the support base 3 is equipped with a heat exchange fan mounting position, so the heat exchange fan can be directly installed on the support base without occupying other space inside the machine casing. This makes the cold drink machine compact, small in size, and with a reasonable structure and low cost.

[0053] It should be noted that the aforementioned cold drink machine is a smoothie maker, ice cream maker, or multi-functional smoothie / ice cream maker; such as Figure 6-7 As shown, the cold drink machine is equipped with an insulation shell 5 and an evaporator. The insulation shell 5 has a cylindrical receiving cavity, and the evaporator is located at least in the middle of the receiving cavity. The evaporator includes a feeding cylinder (not shown in the figure) and a refrigerant channel (not shown in the figure). The refrigerant channel is arranged in a Z-shape or spiral shape on the outer surface of the feeding cylinder and is connected to the cooling device. The insulation shell 5 is installed on the top of the support platform 1.

[0054] In summary, this utility model provides a support frame and a cold drink machine, which has a simple structure, reliable connection, and high strength.

[0055] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
