Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smoothie machine technology, specifically a sealing assembly structure for the material bucket of a smoothie machine. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese Patent No. CN201511035934.X discloses an apparatus and method for preparing and dispensing liquid food. It describes a method for cleaning where the chambers can be moved towards the front of the apparatus along the axial direction, thus removing the caps and pulling each chamber out (i.e., sliding relative to the base) from the stirrer, evaporator, and an annular seal located on the shoulder. The chambers can then be opened by disengaging from the tongue-like part through a slit, separating them into their constituent parts and making cleaning easier. The chambers are sealed to the shoulder by the seal. However, since the seal is circular and the sealing area of ​​the chambers is also circular, there is a radially interlocking circular seal between the chambers and the seal. However, during production and use, deformation or dimensional errors can occur at the circular sealing area of ​​the chambers, preventing a proper radial seal between the chambers and the seal, resulting in leakage of the liquid food. Therefore, further improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a sealing assembly structure for the material bucket of a smoothie machine to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0004] A sealing assembly structure for a slush machine's material hopper, designed for this purpose, includes a main body and a material hopper. The main body is equipped with a positioning ring and an evaporator. The positioning ring is located outside the tail end of the evaporator and is provided with a positioning fastening part and a sealing element. The front end of the sealing element is provided with a sealing axial support part. The rear end of the material hopper is provided with a circular assembly opening. The circular assembly opening is provided with a material hopper fastening part and a material hopper axial support part. The material hopper can be detachably fastened to the positioning fastening part through the material hopper fastening part. During assembly, the material hopper is axially sealed against the sealing axial support part through the material hopper axial support part. The evaporator extends into the material hopper through the circular assembly opening.

[0005] The positioning ring has a ring array of several positioning fastening parts, and the material bucket fastening parts are arranged in a ring array inside the circular assembly opening. The material bucket fastening parts are rotated and fastened to the positioning fastening parts.

[0006] The positioning fastening part or the material bucket fastening part is provided with a guide part, and the material bucket fastening part and the positioning fastening part are fixed together by the guide part through a guide screw fastening.

[0007] The positioning fastener or the material bucket fastener is provided with a notch, and the material bucket fastener and the positioning fastener can be detached and fitted together through the notch.

[0008] The positioning ring has a positioning piece extending from its front end, and an annular groove is formed between the two. The sealing element is positioned on the annular groove.

[0009] The positioning piece is set at a height lower than the height of the sealing element, and the sealing axial support portion is circumferentially recessed on the front end face of the sealing element and located on the rear side of the outer periphery of the positioning piece.

[0010] The axial support part of the material bucket is located in front of the positioning fastener and protrudes annularly into the circular assembly opening in the direction of the seal.

[0011] The evaporator is equipped with stirring blades, the top of the material tank is equipped with a feed inlet, and a feed cover plate is detachably installed on the feed inlet. The stirring blades are rotatably sleeved around the evaporator, and their front and rear ends are respectively positioned between the positioning ring and the inner wall of the front end of the material tank.

[0012] The main body is equipped with a drive motor, which is located at the rear end of the positioning ring and is connected to a drive shaft. The drive shaft passes through the positioning ring and the evaporator and is connected to the front end of the stirring blade.

[0013] The front end of the material hopper is provided with a manual discharge assembly, which includes a handle, an extruder, and an elastic element. The front end of the material hopper is provided with a discharge chamber, and the front end of the discharge chamber extends to a handle connection portion. A rotating shaft is provided in the middle of the handle, and the handle connection portion is rotated through the rotating shaft. The inner end of the handle extends into the discharge chamber and is drivenly connected to the extruder located in the discharge chamber. A discharge port is provided below the discharge chamber. The elastic element is disposed in the discharge chamber in a direction away from the discharge port and is elastically connected to the top wall of the discharge chamber and the extruder.

[0014] This invention utilizes the cooperation between the material bucket fastening part and the positioning fastening part to allow the material bucket to be disassembled and installed on the main body, thereby improving the ease of disassembly and assembly of the material bucket. This facilitates the daily cleaning and maintenance of the material bucket and evaporator by the user. After the material bucket is assembled, it can be axially sealed against the sealing axial support part through the material bucket axial support part, so that the material bucket can be sealed and assembled on the main body. Since the material bucket axial support part and the sealing axial support part are axially sealed, there are no high precision requirements for the shape and size of the circular assembly opening. This effectively avoids the disadvantage that the circular assembly opening shape deformation and size error cannot form a radial seal with the sealing element. This not only reduces the production process, but also improves the sealing stability between the material bucket and the main body, ensuring that the ice sand in the material bucket will not leak out.

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] See Figures 1-8 The material barrel sealing assembly structure of this smoothie machine includes a main body 1 and a material barrel 2. The main body 1 is provided with a positioning ring 3 and an evaporator 4. The positioning ring 3 is located on the outer side of the tail end of the evaporator 4 and is provided with a positioning fastening part 5 and a sealing element 6. The front end of the sealing element 6 is provided with a sealing axial support part 7. The rear end of the material barrel 2 is provided with a circular assembly port 8. The circular assembly port 8 is provided with a material barrel fastening part 9 and a material barrel axial support part 10. The material barrel 2 can be detachably fastened to the positioning fastening part 5 through the material barrel fastening part 9. When the material barrel 2 is assembled, it is axially sealed and supported on the sealing axial support part 7 through the material barrel axial support part 10. The evaporator 4 extends into the material barrel 2 through the circular assembly port 8.

[0026] This embodiment utilizes the cooperation between the material bucket fastening part 9 and the positioning fastening part 5 to allow the material bucket 2 to be disassembled and installed on the main body 1, thereby improving the ease of disassembly and assembly of the material bucket 2. This facilitates the user's daily cleaning and maintenance of the material bucket 2 and the evaporator 4. After the material bucket 2 is assembled, it can be axially sealed against the sealing axial support part 7 through the material bucket axial support part 10, so that the material bucket 2 can be sealed and assembled on the main body 1. Since the material bucket axial support part 10 and the sealing axial support part 7 are axially sealed, there are no high precision requirements for the shape and size of the circular assembly port 8. This effectively avoids the disadvantage that the circular assembly port 8 cannot form a radial seal with the sealing part 6 due to shape deformation or size error. This not only reduces the production process but also improves the sealing stability between the material bucket 2 and the main body 1, ensuring that the ice sand in the material bucket 2 will not leak.

[0027] The outer ring of the positioning ring 3 has several positioning fastening parts 5, and the material bucket fastening parts 9 are arranged in a ring within the circular assembly port 8. The material bucket fastening parts 9 are rotated and fastened to the positioning fastening parts 5.

[0028] In this embodiment, the screw-locking engagement between multiple barrel fastening parts 9 and multiple positioning fastening parts 5 is used to improve the assembly stability between the barrel 2 and the main body 1. At the same time, since the barrel fastening parts 9 and the positioning fastening parts 5 are screw-locked, their disassembly and assembly rotation directions are different from the axial sealing support direction between the barrel axial support part 10 and the sealing axial support part 7. Therefore, after the barrel 2 is assembled, the axial sealing support stability between the barrel axial support part 10 and the sealing axial support part 7 can be further improved.

[0029] A guide part 11 is provided on the positioning fastening part 5 or the material bucket fastening part 9, and the material bucket fastening part 9 and the positioning fastening part 5 are fixed by the guide part 11.

[0030] In this embodiment, the guide part 11 is inclinedly disposed on the positioning fastening part 5, and the direction of the inclination of the guide part 11 is the same as the direction of the rotation fastening of the material bucket 2, so that the material bucket fastening part 9 can be smoothly screwed onto the positioning fastening part 5, thereby improving the assembly convenience of the material bucket 2.

[0031] The positioning fastening part 5 or the material bucket fastening part 9 is provided with a notch 12, and the material bucket fastening part 9 and the positioning fastening part 5 can be detached and fitted together through the notch 12.

[0032] In this embodiment, the notch 12 is provided on the material bucket fastening part 9. The material bucket fastening part 9 can be disassembled and fastened with the positioning fastening part 5 through the notch 12, which is not only convenient to disassemble and assemble, but also secure to fasten.

[0033] The positioning ring 3 has a positioning piece 13 extending from its front end, and an annular groove 14 is formed between the two. The sealing element 6 is positioned on the annular groove 14, thereby improving the assembly stability of the positioning ring 3 and preventing it from falling off.

[0034] The height of the positioning piece 13 is lower than the height of the seal 6, and the sealing axial support part 7 is annularly recessed on the front end face of the seal 6 and located on the rear side of the outer periphery of the positioning piece 13.

[0035] The axial support part 10 of the material bucket is located in front of the positioning fastening part 5 and is circumferentially protruded into the circular assembly opening 8 in the direction of the sealing element 6.

[0036] The evaporator 4 is equipped with stirring blades 15, and the top of the material tank 2 is equipped with a feed inlet. A feed cover plate 16 is installed on the feed inlet. The stirring blades 15 are rotatably sleeved on the outside of the evaporator 4, and their front and rear ends are respectively positioned between the positioning ring 3 and the inner wall of the front end of the material tank 2, so that the stirring blades 15 can rotate at a designated position.

[0037] A drive motor 17 is provided on the main body 1. The drive motor 17 is located at the rear end of the positioning ring 3 and is connected to a drive shaft 18. The drive shaft 18 passes through the positioning ring 3 and the evaporator 4 and is connected to the front end of the stirring blade 15. In this way, the drive motor 17 drives the stirring blade 15 to rotate on the evaporator 4 through the drive shaft 18 when it is working.

[0038] The front end of the material hopper 2 is equipped with a manual discharge component, which includes a handle 19, an extruder 20, and an elastic element 21. The front end of the material hopper 2 is provided with a discharge chamber 22, and the front end of the discharge chamber 22 extends to a handle connection part 23. The handle 19 is provided with a rotating shaft 24 in the middle and rotates on the handle connection part 23 through the rotating shaft 24. The inner end of the handle 19 extends into the discharge chamber 22 and is drivenly connected to the extruder 20 located in the discharge chamber 22. The discharge port 25 is provided below the discharge chamber 22. The elastic element 21 is provided in the discharge chamber 22 in the direction away from the discharge port 25 and is elastically connected to the top wall of the discharge chamber 22 and the extruder 20 respectively. The extruder 20 is also provided with an extrusion sealing ring 26, and the extrusion sealing ring 26 is sealed to the inner wall of the discharge chamber 22.

[0039] When using the device, the user applies pressure to the handle 19, causing it to rotate downwards on the handle connection 23 via the pivot 24. As the handle 19 rotates, it drives the extruder 20 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 21 and slide away from the discharge port 25. When the extruder 20 slides away from the discharge port 25 to a certain position, the ice shavings in the material tank 2 will enter the discharge chamber 22. At this time, the force on the handle 19 disappears (i.e., the user releases the handle 19), and the extruder 20 slides towards the discharge port 25 through the elastic force of the elastic element 21. At the same time, the handle 19 rotates upwards to reset. When the extruder 20 slides towards the discharge port 25, it will squeeze the ice shavings in the discharge chamber 22 out of the discharge port 25.

[0040] The discharge port 25 is also provided with a patterned case 27 so that the ice shavings extruded from the discharge port 25 can be made into different patterns by passing through the patterned case 27.

[0041] In addition, a decorative cover 28 is provided in front of the material tank 2. The decorative cover 28 is attached and removed from the front of the material tank 2 through a buckle and can cover the discharge chamber 22 during assembly to improve the appearance of the smoothie machine. At the same time, the decorative cover 28 is provided with a clearance opening so that the handle connection part 23 can extend and connect with the handle 19.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this utility model as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
