Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cold drink machine technology, and in particular to a cold drink machine with a conveniently openable feed cover. Background Technology
[0002] In some traditional beverage dispenser designs, the lid is often quite simple, typically a flat surface. This design presents certain inconveniences in actual operation. When operators need to open or close the lid, the flat shape makes it difficult to find a suitable grip point. This design flaw means that when removing or installing the lid, operators often have to carefully pinch a small corner of the lid, which not only makes the operation cumbersome but also easily damages the lid with repeated use.
[0003] Furthermore, the fact that the lid needs to be perfectly aligned with the opening for proper placement further increases the complexity of the operation and reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cold drink machine with a conveniently openable feed cover, which can eliminate safety hazards, simplify operation, and improve work efficiency.

[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, a specific embodiment of this utility model provides a cold drink machine with a conveniently openable feed cover, including a feeding component 1, a cooling component 2, a dispensing component 3, and a housing 4; the feeding component 1 and the cooling component 2 are both located inside the housing 4, and the dispensing component 3 is installed on the housing 4; the feeding component 1 includes an evaporator 11, a stirring component 12, and a driving device 13, the stirring component 12 is located in the evaporator 11, and the driving device 13 is connected to the stirring component 12; the housing 4 is provided with a feeding trough 41 and a feeding cover 42, the feeding trough 41 is provided with a dispensing port 410, the dispensing port 410 is connected to the evaporator 11, and the feeding cover 42 is rotatably closed on the feeding trough 41; the cooling component 2 is connected to the evaporator 11 and is used to cool the evaporator 11; the dispensing component 3 is connected to the evaporator 11 and is used to dispense the beverage.
[0027] It should be noted that the feeding assembly 1, cooling assembly 2, discharging assembly 3, and housing 4 are integrated into a single unit, saving space and facilitating use. A feed cover 42 is provided on the feed trough 41 to prevent foreign objects from falling into it. Furthermore, the feed cover 42 is designed as a flip-top, allowing for easy control of opening or closing the feed inlet of the feed trough 41 by rotation.
[0028] See Figure 4 The housing 4 is provided with a feeding platform 43, and a feeding groove 41 is provided inside the feeding platform 43. A connecting seat 411 is provided on the side of the feeding platform 43 near the feeding groove 41. A rotating shaft 421 is provided at one end of the feeding cover 42, and the rotating shaft 421 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 411. The rotating shaft 421 is provided to make it easier to open and close the feeding cover 42.
[0029] Specifically, the connecting seat 411 includes a first connecting seat 412 and a second connecting seat 413. The first connecting seat 412 and the second connecting seat 413 are spaced apart on the side of the feeding platform 43 near the feeding trough 41. The two ends of the rotating shaft 421 are rotatably connected to the first connecting seat 412 and the second connecting seat 413 respectively. Figure 5 As shown, the two ends of the rotating shaft 421 are respectively provided with outwardly extending convex dots 422, and the first connecting seat 412 and the second connecting seat 413 are respectively provided with rotating holes 414 corresponding to the convex dots 422. The convex dots 422 and the rotating holes 414 are adapted to each other. The adapted connection between the convex dots 422 and the rotating holes 414 helps to reduce the shaking of the feed cover 42 during use, thereby improving the durability of the entire structure.
[0030] See Figure 6The feed cover 42 has a first retaining plate 423 and a second retaining plate 424 on both sides, and a retaining groove 425 is formed between the first retaining plate 423 and the second retaining plate 424. The retaining groove 425 is engaged with the feed table 43. By engaging the retaining groove 425 with the feed table 43, the connection stability between the feed cover 42 and the feed table 43 is enhanced, ensuring that the feed cover 42 is stably fixed on the feed table 43 and is not prone to loosening.
[0031] Specifically, the feed cover 42 is also provided with symmetrical handles 426 to provide gripping points when the feed cover 42 is opened.
[0032] See Figure 7 The feed cover 42 has a gripper 427 at the end away from the rotating shaft 421. The top of the gripper 427 is convex and the bottom is grooved. The convex design is ergonomic and provides a comfortable gripping point for the user, while the groove design provides a stable point of force for the user when gripping.
[0033] See Figure 8 The casing 4 also includes an insulation chamber 44, within which the evaporator 11 is located. The evaporator 11 includes a refrigerant passage 111 and an evaporator shell 112, with a stirring assembly 12 inside the shell 112. Both ends of the refrigerant passage 111 are connected to the cooling assembly 2, and the refrigerant passage 111 is wound around the outer wall of the evaporator shell 112 to reduce the temperature inside the shell 112. By providing the insulation chamber 44, heat loss can be reduced, maintaining a low-temperature environment inside the evaporator 11. Because the refrigerant passage 111 is in direct contact with the outer shell of the evaporator 11, heat can be transferred more quickly, thus improving refrigeration efficiency.
[0034] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The heat preservation chamber 44 is provided with a cylindrical mounting cavity 45 that matches the shape of the evaporator 11, and the evaporator 11 is installed in the mounting cavity 45; the refrigerant channel 111 extends in a spiral, Z-shape or oblique Z-shape to be firmly attached to the outside of the evaporator 11.
[0035] Specifically, the cooling assembly 2 includes a condenser 21, a compressor 22, and a cooling fan 23. The compressor 22 and the condenser 21 are respectively connected to the two ends of the refrigerant passage 111. The compressor 22 is connected to the condenser 21 through a pipe. The cooling fan 23 is located between the condenser 21 and the compressor 22 to dissipate heat from the condenser 21, prevent overheating, and thus improve the stability and efficiency of the entire refrigeration system.
[0036] It should be noted that the stirring assembly 12 includes a rotating shaft 121 and stirring blades 122. The stirring blades 122 are fitted onto one end of the rotating shaft 121, and the other end of the rotating shaft 121 is connected to the drive device 13. The discharging assembly 3 includes a switch handle 31 and a discharging cylinder 32. The discharging cylinder 32 is located at the end of the stirring assembly 12, and the switch handle 31 is located on the discharging cylinder 32 for controlling the discharging. By setting up the stirring assembly 12, the ingredients in the cold drink can be mixed more evenly. The drive device 13 outputs power to the rotating shaft 121 to make the stirring assembly 12 rotate.
[0037] Preferably, the drive device 13 is a motor, which is connected to the rotating shaft 121 to drive the stirring blades 122 to stir the material.
[0038] In actual use, the material must first be added to the feeding trough 41, and then the cooling component 2 and the material preparation component 12 are controlled to enter the working state. After the required material is produced, the switch handle 31 is operated to open the discharge cylinder to realize the material discharge work.
[0039] As can be seen from the above, this utility model designs a rotating shaft on the feed cover 42 and connects the convex round points 422 at both ends of the rotating shaft with the rotating holes 414 on the first connecting seat 412 and the second connecting seat 413, forming a stable rotating connection structure with the housing 4, thus avoiding cumbersome manual operation; at the same time, by designing the handle 426 and the gripper 427, customers can more easily open and close the feed cover 42, and the clever design of the shape of the handle 426 better ensures the comfort of users in the process of opening the feed cover 42.
[0040] 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 invention, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
