Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of slush machine for making slush and other iced drinks, and specifically relates to the feeding port structure of a slush machine cylinder. Background Technology

[0002] In existing snow melting machines, when adding material into the cylinder, the cover needs to be completely removed to expose the feeding port, which is inconvenient to disassemble and assemble; or the flip-up cover can be opened to open the feeding port, but the flipped cover is mostly positioned by its rotating shaft. If too much force is applied or the cover is subjected to an unexpected uncontrollable external force that causes it to flip excessively, the shaft connection part will be damaged.

[0003] In addition, when feeding food into the cylinder of the existing snow melting machine from the feeding port, the food ingredients often fall directly into the cylinder, causing food to splatter and affecting cleanliness. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feeding port structure for a snow melting machine cylinder, which facilitates the opening and closing of the feeding port, ensures that the cover is not damaged, and further prevents food from splashing during feeding.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a feeding port structure for a snow melting machine's cylinder, comprising a cylinder disposed on the machine body, with a feeding port on the top surface of the cylinder. The key feature is that the top surface of the cylinder is also equipped with a flip-up cover. When the cover flips in one direction, it covers the feeding port; when the cover flips in the other direction, it opens the feeding port and rests against the top surface of the cylinder or the top surface of the machine body. Therefore, when the cover is opened, the force on the cover is distributed from the shaft connection to the top surface of the cylinder or the top surface of the machine body. When a large force is applied or an unexpected, uncontrollable external force is encountered, the cover will not overturn due to the support of the top surface of the cylinder or the top surface of the machine body, nor will it damage the shaft connection.

[0006] Preferably, to simplify the structure, the top surface of the barrel and the cover are connected by a hinge structure.

[0007] Preferably, the hinge structure includes a shaft and a shaft hole respectively located on the top surface of the barrel and the cover, with the shaft rotatably fitted into the shaft hole. This avoids the complexity of the assembly structure and increased manufacturing costs caused by separately configuring the shaft and shaft hole, and results in a simple and compact structure.

[0008] Preferably, the hinge structure includes shaft holes located on the top surface of the barrel and the cover, with the shaft holes on the top surface of the barrel and the cover being fitted onto the same shaft. Therefore, only one shaft is needed for connection, resulting in a simple structure.

[0009] Preferably, the shaft hole has a notch, the size of which is suitable for the shaft to be inserted into or removed from the shaft hole. This facilitates assembly.

[0010] Preferably, the shaft protrudes from the top surface of the barrel or the top surface of the cover; or / and the shaft hole protrudes from the top surface of the cover or the top surface of the barrel. This ensures that when the cover is opened to access the feed port, the cover can rest against the top surface of the barrel or the top surface of the machine body, preventing the cover from being suspended in the air and avoiding concentrated stress on the shaft connection.

[0011] Preferably, the lid has a handle so that the lid can be flipped by pinching the handle.

[0012] Preferably, the edge of the feeding port has a concave surface, and the edge of the cover has an inner ring edge and an outer ring edge. When the cover covers the feeding port, the inner ring edge is located inside the concave surface, and the outer ring edge presses against the concave surface. This ensures that the cover can reliably cover the feeding port.

[0013] Preferably, a guide plate is provided on the lower side of the feeding port, and a flow guide is provided at the rear end of the guide plate. This is used to ensure that the feed added to the rear end of the cylinder is adequately cooled, preventing the feed from being added to the front middle part of the cylinder and causing poor cooling. Furthermore, the flow guide is offset from the feeding port and adjacent to the rear wall of the cylinder. Accordingly, the added fluid feed can flow down the rear wall of the cylinder to the rear end of the cylinder, avoiding splashing in the front middle part of the cylinder.

[0014] Preferably, the lower part of the front wall of the material cylinder is provided with a transverse discharge port, which is connected to the inner cavity of the material cylinder via a spiral channel. The spiral channel is used to guide the food out of the discharge port.

[0015] This invention features a flip-up cover on the top surface of the material cylinder. When the cover flips in one direction, it covers the feeding port; when it flips in the other direction, it opens the feeding port and rests against the top surface of the material cylinder or the machine body. When the cover is opened, the force on the cover is distributed from the shaft connection to the top surface of the material cylinder or the machine body. Even under significant force or unexpected uncontrollable external forces, the cover is supported by the top surface of the material cylinder or the machine body, preventing excessive flipping and damage to the shaft connection.

[0016] This invention features a guide plate positioned below the feeding port, with a flow guide at the rear end of the guide plate. This design ensures that the feed is adequately cooled at the rear end of the feeding cylinder, preventing poor cooling caused by feed being added to the front or middle section of the cylinder. Specifically, the flow guide is offset from the feeding port and adjacent to the rear wall of the cylinder, allowing the added fluid feed to flow downwards along the rear wall to the rear end of the cylinder, preventing splashing into the front or middle section.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0030] The terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification and claims of this utility model are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such as a method or product that includes a series of technical features, not limited to those technical features explicitly listed, but also including other technical features that may be included in the method or product but not explicitly listed.

[0031] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0032] Figure 1A snow melting machine is shown, which includes a body 100 and a material cylinder 200. Generally, the material cylinder 200 can be removed from the body 100 for easy cleaning.

[0033] Figure 3-7 The feeding port structure of the barrel is shown. The barrel 200 is disposed within the machine body 100. The top surface 202 of the barrel has a feeding port 203 and a flip-up cover 300. When the cover 300 flips forward, it covers the feeding port 203; when the cover 300 flips backward, it opens the feeding port 203 and rests against the top surface 101 of the machine body. Therefore, when the cover is opened, the force on the cover is distributed from the shaft connection to the top surface of the machine body. Even with significant force or unexpected uncontrollable external forces, the cover is supported by the top surface of the machine body, preventing excessive flipping and damage to the shaft connection.

[0034] In other embodiments, such as when the position of the feed port and the cover moves forward, the cover, which is flipped backward, can rest against the top surface of the material cylinder. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the flipping direction of the cover is changed, such that when the cover flips backward to cover the feed port, and when the cover flips forward to open the feed port, the cover rests against the top surface of the material cylinder when opening the feed port.

[0035] Specifically, to simplify the structure, the top surface 202 of the barrel and the cover 300 are connected by a hinge structure. The illustrated hinge structure includes a shaft hole 301 integrally formed on the edge of the cover 300 and a shaft 201 integrally formed on the top surface 202 of the barrel, with the shaft 201 rotatably fitted into the shaft hole 301. This avoids the complexity of the assembly structure and increased manufacturing costs caused by separately configuring the shaft and shaft hole, and results in a simple and compact structure. In other embodiments, the shaft and shaft hole can be interchanged.

[0036] In other embodiments, the hinge structure may also have shaft holes on both the top surface of the barrel and the cover, with the shaft holes on the top surface of the barrel and the cover being fitted onto the same shaft. Therefore, only one shaft is needed for connection, resulting in a simple structure.

[0037] In any embodiment, configuring multiple spaced-apart shaft holes can increase the strength of the connection.

[0038] like Figure 6-7 As shown, the shaft hole 301 has a notch 302, the size of which is suitable for the shaft to be inserted into or removed from the shaft hole, facilitating assembly.

[0039] In the illustrated structure, shaft 201 protrudes from the top surface 202 of the material cylinder, ensuring that the cover can rest against the top surface of the material cylinder or the top surface of the machine body when the cover is opened to access the feed port, preventing the cover from being suspended in the air and avoiding concentrated stress on the shaft connection area. In other embodiments, the shaft hole may protrude from the top surface of the cover, or the shaft hole may protrude from the top surface of the cover and the shaft may protrude from the top surface of the material cylinder. When the shaft hole and the shaft are interchanged, the shaft hole and / or the shaft protrude from the top surface of their respective material cylinder or top surface of the cover.

[0040] The lid 300 is provided with a handle 303 so that the lid can be flipped by pinching the handle.

[0041] The feed port 203 has a concave surface 204 on its edge, and the cover 300 has an inner ring edge 304 and an outer ring edge 305 on its edge. When the cover covers the feed port, the inner ring edge 304 is located inside the concave surface 204, and the outer ring edge 305 presses against the concave surface 204. This ensures that the cover can reliably cover the feed port.

[0042] The feed inlet 203 has a guide plate 205 on its lower side, and a flow guide 206 is provided at the rear end of the guide plate 205. This is used to ensure that the feed is added to the rear end of the feed cylinder and is adequately cooled, avoiding the feed being added to the middle or front part of the feed cylinder and causing poor cooling.

[0043] The guide port 306 is offset from the feed port 203 and adjacent to the rear wall 207 of the feed cylinder. This prevents the feed from flowing directly from the guide port into the bottom of the feed cylinder and causing splashing during feeding. Accordingly, the added fluid feed can flow down the rear wall of the feed cylinder to the rear end of the feed cylinder, avoiding splashing in the middle and front part of the feed cylinder.

[0044] like Figure 8 As shown, the lower part of the front wall 208 of the material cylinder 200 is provided with a transverse discharge port 209, which is connected to the inner cavity of the material cylinder via a spiral channel 210. When the snow melting machine is working, the spiral blades inside the material cylinder rotate and push the paste-like or muddy food forward. The spiral channel, in conjunction with the spiral blades, guides the food to be smoothly discharged from the discharge port.

[0045] As described above, with the snow melting machine, you can pinch the handle 303 with your fingers to... Figure 3 The position of the cover over the feed port 203 is shown. Figure 4 The cover 300 is flipped between the positions shown for opening the feeding port 203. As shown... Figure 4 When the cover is flipped backward to open the feeding port, the cover 300 rests against the top surface 202 of the material cylinder or the top surface 101 of the machine body. The force on the cover is distributed from the shaft connection to the top surface of the material cylinder or the top surface of the machine body. When a large force is applied or an unexpected uncontrollable external force is applied, the cover will not flip excessively due to the support of the top surface of the material cylinder or the top surface of the machine body, and the shaft connection will not be damaged.

[0046] When the feed is added into the cylinder 200 through the feed port 203, the fluid feed is guided by the guide plate 205 to flow to the rear end of the cylinder 200, so that the added fluid feed can flow down along the rear wall 207 of the cylinder to the rear end of the cylinder, avoiding splashing in the middle and front part of the cylinder. When the added feed is discharged from the discharge port at the front end of the cylinder, the path through the front and rear of the cylinder can be fully cooled, avoiding adding feed to the middle and front part of the cylinder and causing poor cooling.
