[0022] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] See Figures 1-7The feeding barrel structure of this slush machine includes a slush machine body 1 and a material barrel 2. The rear end of the material barrel 2 is provided with a material barrel assembly port 3, and it is disassembled and installed on the slush machine body 1 through the material barrel assembly port 3. The front end of the material barrel 2 is provided with a discharge nozzle 4, and a manual discharge component is provided on the discharge nozzle 4. The top of the material barrel 2 is provided with a material barrel protrusion 5, and the top surface of the material barrel protrusion 5 is provided with a groove 6 and a cover plate 7. The groove 6 is provided with a feeding port 8. The cover plate 7 is disassembled and installed on the material barrel protrusion 5, and is covered on the groove 6 and / or the feeding port 8 during assembly.

[0025] In this embodiment, a groove 6 is provided on the top surface of the protrusion 5 of the material tank, and a feed inlet 8 is provided on the groove 6. This reduces the size ratio of the feed inlet 8 on the protrusion 5 of the material tank, effectively avoiding the problem of foreign objects easily entering the material tank 2 due to the large size of the feed inlet 8 in the prior art, thereby improving the safety of product use. Moreover, the setting of the groove 6 also facilitates the entry of liquids such as juice into the feed inlet 8, which not only improves the user experience, but also avoids the problem of leakage of liquids such as juice when adding them. In addition, the cover plate 7 can also cover the groove 6 and / or the feed inlet 8 during assembly, thereby further improving the safety of product use.

[0026] The feed inlet 8 is located at the center or on one side of the groove 6, and the groove 6 is inclined toward the feed inlet 8.

[0027] In this embodiment, the feed inlet 8 is located on one side of the groove 6, and the groove 6 is inclined toward the feed inlet 8. This allows liquids such as fruit juice to enter the feed inlet 8 through the inclined groove 6 by their own gravity, reducing the leakage of liquids such as fruit juice, and also ensuring that all liquids such as fruit juice can enter the container 2.

[0028] The feed inlet 8 extends vertically and / or obliquely toward the feed hopper 2, with a feed flange 9.

[0029] In this embodiment, the feed inlet 8 extends at an angle toward the feed tank 2 with a feed flange 9, which not only allows all liquids such as juice to enter the feed tank 2 and prevents them from sticking to the top of the feed tank 2, but also makes it easier for users to clean the feed inlet 8, further improving the user experience.

[0030] The material barrel 2 is provided with an upper outer peripheral component 13 and a lower outer peripheral component 14. The upper outer peripheral component 13 is provided with an upper positioning part 15, and the lower outer peripheral component 14 is provided with a lower positioning part 16. The upper outer peripheral component 13 and the lower outer peripheral component 14 are mutually positioned and cooperated by the upper positioning part 15 and the lower positioning part 16, and respectively surround the upper and lower positions of the material barrel 2.

[0031] In this embodiment, an upper outer perimeter component 13 and a lower outer perimeter component 14 are provided on the upper and lower outer perimeters of the material barrel 2, so that the entire feeding barrel of the ice slush machine forms at least two layers. This not only improves the structural strength of the feeding barrel, but also forms an internal partition cavity between the material barrel 2 and the upper outer perimeter component 13 and the lower outer perimeter component 14. The internal partition cavity can reduce the outward loss of cold energy in the material barrel 2, improve the utilization rate of cold energy, reduce energy consumption, and at the same time reduce the condensation caused by the temperature difference between the inner and outer walls of the material barrel 2.

[0032] The top surface of the protrusion 5 of the material barrel is open and forms the material barrel inlet 17. The upper outer part 13 is provided with an upper outer part protrusion 18, which surrounds the protrusion 5 of the material barrel. The groove 6 is recessed on the top surface of the upper outer part protrusion 18. The inlet 8 and the material barrel inlet 17 are interconnected.

[0033] In this embodiment, the groove 6 is provided on the top surface of the protrusion 18 of the upper outer part and is recessed in the direction of the material inlet 17 of the material tank. At the same time, the inlet 8 extends obliquely in the direction of the material inlet 17 of the material tank with a feeding flange 9, so that the inlet 8 is located below the material inlet 17 of the material tank, to ensure the addition of liquids such as juice.

[0034] The top of the cover plate 7 is provided with a handle 10, and the bottom is provided with a support part 11 and a positioning part 12. The support part 11 is located on the bottom periphery of the cover plate 7 and is supported on the top of the upper periphery protrusion 18. The positioning part 12 is located inside the support part 11 and is positioned on the groove 6.

[0035] In this embodiment, the user can pick up and put down the cover plate 7 using the handle 10. When the cover plate 7 is assembled, the support between the support part 11 and the top of the upper outer part protrusion 18, and the positioning between the positioning part 12 and the groove 6 are used to make the cover plate 7 stably assembled on the slush machine body 1, so as to avoid the cover plate 7 falling off due to the vibration of the slush machine body 1 during operation.

[0036] The upper outer peripheral component 13 has an upper notch 19 at its front end, and the lower outer peripheral component 14 has a lower notch 20 at its front end. The upper notch 19 and the lower notch 20 respectively avoid the discharge nozzle 4, so that the discharge nozzle 4 can be exposed and connected with the manual discharge component.

[0037] The top of the discharge nozzle 4 is closed, the bottom is provided with a discharge port 21, and the front end is provided with a handle connection part 22. The manual discharge assembly includes a handle 23, an extruder 24, and an elastic element 25. The handle 23 is provided with a rotating shaft 26 in the middle and rotates on the handle connection part 22 through the rotating shaft 26. The inner end of the handle 23 extends into the discharge nozzle 4 and is driven to connect with the extruder 24 located in the discharge nozzle 4. The elastic element 25 is provided in the discharge nozzle 4 in the direction away from the discharge port 21 and is elastically connected to the top wall of the discharge nozzle 4 and the extruder 24 respectively. The extruder 24 is also provided with an extrusion sealing ring 27 and is sealed to the inner wall of the discharge nozzle 4 through the extrusion sealing ring 27.

[0038] When using the device, the user applies pressure to the handle 23, causing it to rotate downwards on the handle connection 22 via the pivot 26. As the handle 23 rotates, it drives the extruder 24 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 25 and slide away from the discharge port 21. When the extruder 24 slides away from the discharge port 21 to a certain position, the ice slush already prepared in the material tank 2 will enter the discharge nozzle 4. At this time, the force on the handle 23 disappears (i.e., the user releases the handle 23), and the extruder 24 slides towards the discharge port 21 through the elastic force of the elastic element 25. At the same time, the handle 23 rotates upwards to reset. When the extruder 24 slides towards the discharge port 21, it will squeeze the ice slush in the discharge nozzle 4 out of the discharge port 21.

[0039] The discharge port 21 is also provided with a patterned case 36 so that the ice shavings extruded from the discharge port 21 can be made into different patterns by passing through the patterned case 36.

[0040] The upper outer peripheral component 13 and the lower outer peripheral component 14 are respectively provided with a buckle part 28, and a decorative cover 29 is attached and detached by twisting the buckle part 28. The decorative cover 29 covers the discharge nozzle 4 during assembly. The decorative cover 29 is provided with a clearance opening 30 corresponding to the handle connection part 22 and the handle 23.

[0041] In this embodiment, the decorative cover 29 can effectively cover the discharge nozzle 4 to improve the appearance of the smoothie machine body 1. In addition, the handle connection part 22 extends out of the clearance opening 30 and is connected to the handle 23, and the inner end of the handle 23 extends into the discharge nozzle 4.

[0042] The smoothie machine body 1 is equipped with a positioning ring 31, an evaporator 32, a stirring blade 33, and a drive motor. The positioning ring 31 is located outside the tail end of the evaporator 32 and is equipped with a sealing element 34. The drive motor is located at the rear end of the positioning ring 31 and is connected to a drive shaft 35. The drive shaft 35 passes through the positioning ring 31 and the evaporator 32 and is connected to the front end of the stirring blade 33. The material tank 2 is disassembled and assembled on the positioning ring 31 and is sealed with the sealing element 34 through the material tank assembly port 3. This achieves a sealed assembly between the material tank 2 and the smoothie machine body 1 to prevent liquid leakage. The evaporator 32 is located inside the material tank 2. The stirring blade 33 is driven by the drive shaft 35 and rotates around the evaporator 32. Its front and rear ends are respectively rotated and positioned between the positioning ring 31 and the inner wall of the front end of the material tank 2. This allows the stirring blade 33 to rotate at a designated position.

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.
