Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slush machine technology, specifically to a cylinder unlocking mechanism and a slush machine having the same. Background Technology

[0002] Smoothie makers are mainly used to make various flavored smoothies, milkshakes, ice cream, and other cold drinks, and also have a juicing function. Through its powerful stirring and crushing capabilities, it can quickly break ice into fine slush and thoroughly mix it with other ingredients to meet consumers' demands for refreshing and delicious beverages.

[0003] Existing slush machines generally consist of a main body, a refrigeration structure, and a stirring structure. During use, the stirring structure often needs to be disassembled and cleaned. This is usually done by attaching a handle to the main body to engage the stirring structure, but the handle often fails to engage properly, thus affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a cylinder unlocking mechanism and a slush machine having the same.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows:

[0006] A cylinder unlocking mechanism includes a mounting bracket, a cylinder detachably mounted on the mounting bracket, and a locking structure for securing the cylinder.

[0007] The locking structure includes a locking and unlocking block slidably disposed on the mounting bracket, and an unlocking handle inserted into the locking and unlocking block. A locking protrusion is formed on the cylinder body, and a locking groove is formed on the locking and unlocking block for the locking protrusion to be inserted into. The locking protrusion and the locking groove cooperate to give the cylinder body a locked state and an unlocked state.

[0008] A locking block is slidably disposed inside the locking and unlocking block. The locking block is partially placed in the locking groove to prevent the locking protrusion from disengaging from the locking groove and to keep the cylinder in a locked state.

[0009] The locking block always tends to move away from the locking groove. The mounting bracket has a limiting protrusion that abuts against the locking block to restrict the locking block from moving away from the locking groove. When the unlocking handle is pulled away from the locking and unlocking block, the locking and unlocking block slides away from the direction of the unlocking handle. The limiting protrusion moves away from the locking block and forces the locking block away from the locking groove so that the cylinder is in the unlocked state.

[0010] Preferably, the locking block is provided with a first elastic element, one end of which abuts against the locking and unlocking block, and the other end of which abuts against the locking and unlocking block, so that the locking block has a tendency to move away from the locking groove. Through the above improvement, the first elastic element applies a downward force to the unlocking block, so that the locking block has a tendency to move away from the locking groove. As the locking and unlocking block slides, the locking block is released from the restriction of the limiting protrusion and will be released from the locking groove, so that the locking protrusion can be released from the locking groove, thereby realizing the locking and unlocking of the cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, an abutting slope is formed on the locking block, and the limiting protrusion abuts against the abutting slope to restrict the locking block from moving away from the locking groove. Through the above improvement, the abutting slope and the limiting protrusion cooperate to make the locking block slide slowly up and down when the locking and unlocking block slides, so as to avoid the situation of mis-locking.

[0012] Preferably, a limiting groove is formed on the limiting protrusion, and the limiting protrusion is placed in the limiting groove. Through the above improvements, the stability of the locking and unlocking block during the sliding process is ensured by using the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove to cooperate.

[0013] Preferably, the unlocking handle has a driving slider, which is obliquely inserted into the locking and unlocking block so that when the unlocking handle is pulled away from the locking and unlocking block, the locking and unlocking block slides away from the direction of the unlocking handle's withdrawal. With the above improvement, the driving slider is obliquely inserted into the unlocking block, so that as the unlocking handle is pulled away and inserted, it will drive the locking and unlocking block to slide on the mounting bracket to lock or unlock the cylinder.

[0014] Preferably, the locking and unlocking block has a travel protrusion that abuts against the locking block to limit the locking block from moving away from the locking groove. With the above improvement, when the limiting protrusion is completely away from the locking block, the locking block will abut against the travel protrusion, so that the locking block is kept in a suitable position so that the locking block and the limiting protrusion can cooperate.

[0015] Preferably, the mounting bracket has a guide protrusion, and the locking / unlocking block has a guide groove for the guide protrusion to be inserted into. The guide protrusion abuts against the guide groove to restrict the sliding of the locking / unlocking block. Through the above improvements, the cooperation between the guide protrusion and the guide groove can ensure the stability of the locking / unlocking block during the sliding process, and the guide protrusion can limit the sliding stroke of the locking / unlocking block.

[0016] Preferably, the locking and unlocking block has a sliding groove for the drive slider to slide in, and a reset groove communicating with the sliding groove. A reset rod is provided in the reset groove, and the reset rod is connected to the drive slider. A second elastic element is sleeved on the reset rod. One end of the second elastic element abuts against the groove wall of the reset groove, and the other end abuts against the reset rod, so that the drive slider always has a tendency to move into the sliding groove. Through the above improvements, the automatic reset of the unlocking handle is realized, and the convenience of locking and unlocking the cylinder is improved.

[0017] Preferably, locking and unlocking blocks are provided on both sides of the mounting bracket, and the unlocking handles are respectively connected to the locking and unlocking blocks on both sides. The mounting bracket and the unlocking handles form a lifting groove. With the above improvements, the unlocking handles can be pulled upward through the lifting groove to quickly unlock the cylinder, thus improving the convenience of cylinder disassembly.

[0018] A slush machine includes a main body, a stirring component, and a cooling component. The mounting bracket is mounted on the main body, the stirring component is disposed inside the cylinder, and the cooling component is disposed inside the main body. The cylinder can be unlocked by pulling the unlock handle, which makes it easier to clean the stirring component and improves the convenience of use.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0020] The cylinder is fixed by a locking structure, which includes a locking / unlocking block slidably mounted on a mounting bracket and an unlocking handle inserted into the locking / unlocking block. A locking protrusion is formed on the cylinder, and a locking groove is formed on the locking / unlocking block for the locking protrusion to enter. The locking protrusion engages with the locking groove, allowing the cylinder to be in both a locked and unlocked state. A locking block is slidably mounted within the locking / unlocking block. When the locking block is partially inserted into the locking groove, it prevents the locking protrusion from disengaging from the locking groove, thus placing the cylinder in a locked state. The locking block always has a tendency to disengage from the locking groove. A limiting protrusion is formed on the mounting bracket. When the cylinder is in the locked state, the limiting protrusion abuts against the locking block to prevent the locking block from moving away from the locking groove. When the unlocking handle is pulled away from the locking and unlocking block, the locking and unlocking block slides away from the direction of the unlocking handle, the limiting protrusion moves away from the locking block, and forces the locking block away from the locking groove. At this time, the locking protrusion can disengage from the locking groove, and the cylinder is in the unlocked state. This realizes the quick locking and unlocking of the cylinder by using the unlocking handle and the locking and unlocking block, which makes it easier for users to disassemble the cylinder for cleaning. Compared with the traditional method of using buckles for locking, it improves the reliability of locking and the convenience of disassembly and locking. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] It should be understood that although the terms upper, middle, lower, top, one end, etc., appear in this document to describe various elements, these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the elements from each other for ease of understanding, and are not used to define any directional or sequential restrictions.

[0032] like Figure 1-8As shown, a cylinder 3 unlocking mechanism includes a mounting bracket 2, a cylinder 3 detachably mounted on the mounting bracket 2, and a locking structure 4 for locking the cylinder 3.

[0033] Specifically, the locking structure 4 includes a locking and unlocking block 1.1 slidably mounted on the mounting bracket 2, and an unlocking handle 1.2 inserted into the locking and unlocking block 1.1. A locking protrusion 1.3 is formed on the cylinder 3, and a locking groove 1.4 is formed on the locking and unlocking block 1.1 for the locking protrusion 1.3 to be inserted. The locking protrusion 1.3 and the locking groove 1.4 cooperate to make the cylinder 3 have a locked state and an unlocked state.

[0034] Furthermore, a locking block 1.5 is slidably disposed within the locking and unlocking block 1.1. The locking block 1.5 is partially inserted into the locking groove 1.4 to prevent the locking protrusion 1.3 from disengaging from the locking groove 1.4 and to keep the cylinder 3 in a locked state.

[0035] In addition, the locking block 1.5 always has a tendency to move away from the locking groove 1.4. The mounting bracket 2 is provided with a limiting protrusion 1.6, which abuts against the locking block 1.5 to limit the locking block 1.5 from moving away from the locking groove 1.4. When the unlocking handle 1.2 is pulled away from the locking and unlocking block 1.1, the locking and unlocking block 1.1 slides away from the direction of the unlocking handle 1.2. The limiting protrusion 1.6 moves away from the locking block 1.5 and forces the locking block 1.5 away from the locking groove 1.4 so that the cylinder 3 is in the unlocked state.

[0036] During daily use, the locking protrusion 1.3 engages with the locking groove 1.4, allowing the cylinder 3 to have both locked and unlocked states. When disassembling the cylinder 3 is necessary, the unlocking handle 1.2 can be pulled upwards, causing the locking / unlocking block 1.1 to slide. As the locking / unlocking block 1.1 slides, the limiting protrusion 1.6 moves away from the locking block 1.5. When the locking block 1.5 is no longer restrained by the limiting protrusion 1.6, it will move away from the locking groove 1.4, exposing the locking protrusion 1.3 within the locking groove 1.4. At this point, the cylinder 3 is in the unlocked state. When it is necessary to disassemble the cylinder 3... When fixing, the cylinder 3 can be inserted into the mounting bracket 2, so that the locking protrusion 1.3 is placed into the locking groove 1.4, and the unlocking handle 1.2 is reinserted into the locking and unlocking block 1.1. The locking block 1.5 is partially placed into the locking groove 1.4 to prevent the locking protrusion 1.3 from disengaging from the locking groove 1.4, and to keep the cylinder 3 in a locked state. This enables quick locking and unlocking of the cylinder 3, making it easier for users to disassemble and clean the cylinder 3 on a daily basis. Compared with the traditional method of using buckles for locking, this improves the reliability of locking and the convenience of disassembly and locking.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, in a further explanation of the implementation of the locking block 1.5, a first elastic element 2.1 is provided on the locking block 1.5. One end of the first elastic element 2.1 abuts against the locking and unlocking block 1.1, and the other end abuts against the locking and unlocking block 1.1, so that the locking block 1.5 has a tendency to move away from the locking groove 1.4.

[0038] Specifically, the locking block 1.5 is slidably mounted on the locking and unlocking block 1.1. The first elastic element 2.1 applies a downward force to the unlocking block, causing the locking block 1.5 to tend to move away from the locking groove 1.4. As the locking and unlocking block 1.1 slides, the locking block 1.5 is released from the restriction of the limiting protrusion 1.6 and will gradually disengage from the locking groove 1.4, allowing the locking protrusion 1.3 to disengage from the locking groove 1.4, thereby achieving the locking and disengagement of the cylinder 3.

[0039] Furthermore, an abutting slope 2.2 is formed on the locking block 1.5, and the limiting protrusion 1.6 abuts against the abutting slope 2.2 to restrict the locking block 1.5 from moving away from the locking groove 1.4. By utilizing the cooperation between the abutting slope 2.2 and the limiting protrusion 1.6, when the locking and unlocking block 1.1 slides, the limiting protrusion 1.6 abuts against the abutting slope 2.2, causing the locking block 1.5 to slide up and down slowly, thus avoiding mis-locking.

[0040] Preferably, a limiting groove 2.3 is formed on the limiting protrusion 1.6, and the limiting protrusion 1.6 is inserted into the limiting groove 2.3. The limiting protrusion 1.6 and the limiting groove 2.3 cooperate to ensure the stability of the locking and unlocking block 1.1 during the sliding process.

[0041] In addition, the locking and unlocking block 1.1 has a travel protrusion 2.5, which is located below the locking block 1.5 and abuts against the locking block 1.5 to restrict the locking block 1.5 from moving away from the locking groove 1.4.

[0042] When the limiting protrusion 1.6 is completely away from the locking block 1.5, the locking block 1.5 will abut against the travel protrusion 2.5, keeping the locking block 1.5 in the appropriate position so that the locking block 1.5 can cooperate with the limiting protrusion 1.6.

[0043] Preferably, the mounting bracket 2 has a guide protrusion 2.6, and the locking and unlocking block 1.1 has a guide groove 2.7 for the guide protrusion 2.6 to be inserted into. The cooperation between the guide protrusion 2.6 and the guide groove 2.7 can ensure the stability of the locking and unlocking block 1.1 during the sliding process.

[0044] Furthermore, when the guide protrusion 2.6 abuts against the guide groove 2.7, the guide groove 2.7 restricts the sliding of the locking and unlocking block 1.1, thus limiting the sliding stroke of the locking and unlocking block 1.1.

[0045] like Figures 5 to 7As shown, in a further explanation of the implementation of the unlocking handle 1.2, the unlocking handle 1.2 is provided with a driving slider 2.4, which is obliquely inserted into the locking and unlocking block 1.1 so that when the unlocking handle 1.2 is pulled away from the locking and unlocking block 1.1, the locking and unlocking block 1.1 slides away from the direction of the unlocking handle 1.2 being pulled away.

[0046] Since the drive slider 2.4 is obliquely inserted into the unlocking block, as the unlocking handle 1.2 is pulled out and inserted, it will cause the locking and unlocking block 1.1 to slide on the mounting bracket 2 to lock or unlock the cylinder 3.

[0047] Specifically, the locking and unlocking block 1.1 has a sliding groove 3.1 for the sliding of the drive slider 2.4, and a reset groove 3.2 connected to the sliding groove 3.1. A reset rod 3.3 is provided in the reset groove 3.2. The reset rod 3.3 is connected to the drive slider 2.4, and a second elastic element 3.4 is sleeved on the reset rod 3.3.

[0048] Since one end of the second elastic element 3.4 abuts against the groove wall of the reset groove 3.2 and the other end abuts against the reset rod 3.3, the drive slider 2.4 always has the tendency to move into the sliding groove 3.1. When the hand releases the handle, the drive slider 2.4 will re-insert into the locking and unlocking block 1.1, realizing the automatic reset of the unlocking handle 1.2, which improves the convenience of locking and unlocking the cylinder 3.

[0049] Preferably, the mounting bracket 2 is provided with locking and unlocking blocks 1.1 on both sides, and the unlocking handles 1.2 are connected to the locking and unlocking blocks 1.1 on both sides respectively. The mounting bracket 2 and the unlocking handles 1.2 form a lifting groove 3.5. When it is necessary to disassemble the cylinder 3, the unlocking handles 1.2 can be pulled upward through the lifting groove 3.5 to quickly unlock the cylinder 3, thereby improving the convenience of disassembling the cylinder 3.

[0050] like Figure 8 As shown, as a further explanation of an embodiment of a slush machine with the above-mentioned cylinder 3 unlocking mechanism, it includes a main body 1, a stirring component 5, and a cooling component 6. The mounting bracket 2 is set on the main body 1, and the stirring component 5 is set inside the cylinder 3, and the cooling component 6 is set inside the main body 1. The cylinder 3 can be unlocked by pulling the unlocking handle 1.2, which makes it easier to clean the stirring component 5 and improves the convenience of the user.

[0051] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
