[0020] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application, the accompanying drawings used in the description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of this application. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0025] 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.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a container with an inlet, including a container shell 1. The container shell 1 is provided with a mixing chamber 101 and an inlet 2. The mixing chamber 101 can accommodate a stirring assembly 3, and the stirring assembly 3 can rotate within the mixing chamber 101. In the scenario where a stirring assembly 3 is provided, generally speaking, the stirring assembly is a rotating shaft or cylinder with spiral blades on its outer periphery. When it rotates, it stirs the material in the mixing chamber 101, and at the same time, the spiral blades synchronously drive the material inside to move forward. Therefore, the front side of the container shell 1 also has an outlet 91, which is connected to the mixing chamber 101.

[0027] The present scheme is to prevent liquid splashing when adding liquid at the inlet, the inlet 2 is configured to include an inlet 21, which is opened on the surface of the container shell 1, a guide bottom 22 which is opposite to the inlet 21 and is arranged obliquely, and a communication port 23 which is located at the end of the inclined guide bottom 22 and is in communication with the mixing cavity 101, and the guide bottom 22 is inclined along the axial direction of the rotation axis of the stirring assembly 3. The inlet 21 and the communication port 23 are separated by the guide bottom 22, and when the user adds liquid material from the inlet 21, the liquid material first passes through the guide bottom 22 and is guided to the communication port 23 to enter the mixing cavity 101, thereby avoiding the liquid being directly poured into the mixing cavity and causing a large impact on the stirring assembly, resulting in liquid splashing everywhere and splashing out of the container shell from the inlet, and also preventing the working stirring assembly from driving the liquid to fly out of the open inlet, thereby effectively preventing splashing during feeding.

[0028] Further, the guide bottom 22 is inclined from top to bottom along the axial direction of the rotation axis, and the communication port 23 is located at the low position of the guide bottom 22 and is directed upward above the rear end of the stirring assembly 3, that is, the communication port 23 is arranged on the rear side of the inlet 2. By arranging the guide bottom to be inclined along the axial direction, the added liquid material is guided to flow to the surface of the stirring assembly, and the direction of the communication port makes the inflow position located at the upper part of the rear end of the stirring assembly, so that the newly added liquid can enter from the rear side of the stirring assembly and move to the front side with the rotation of the stirring assembly 3, and the original material can be pushed to the front side to ensure that the rear side has more space to accommodate the newly added liquid. At the same time, the closer the communication port 23 is to the rear, the longer the path of the added liquid from the rear to the front, and the cooling and stirring are more sufficient, and on the other hand, the phenomenon of splashing caused by the added liquid material being blocked by the stirred material in the mixing cavity is also reduced.

[0029] In another embodiment, the guide bottom 22 is inclined along the axial direction of the rotation axis of the stirring assembly 3, and the communication port 23 is located at the low position of the guide bottom 22 and is arranged on the front side of the inlet 2. The effect of reducing the splashing caused by the added liquid material being blocked by the stirred material in the mixing cavity can also be achieved.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present application, the guide bottom 22 is arranged to be inclined along the axial direction, forming a drainage, which can be understood as the added liquid flowing naturally along the inclined direction of the guide bottom 22, so the guide bottom can be arranged to be gradually inclined downward along the axial direction from one side of the inlet 21.

[0031] In this design, to prevent liquid from overflowing outside the inlet when added, the guide bottom 22 has upwardly extending baffles 24 on its front and left and right sides. These baffles 24 and the guide bottom 22 form a recessed cavity 201, which is connected to the inlet 21. Essentially, the recessed cavity 201 temporarily holds the liquid during addition, and the three-sided baffles 24 effectively prevent liquid from overflowing outside the inlet. Under its own weight and the inclined guide bottom 22, the liquid quickly flows to the connecting port 23 and enters the mixing chamber.

[0032] In addition, the end of the guide bottom 22 described in this solution is provided with a grid 231, which divides the connecting port 23 into multiple orifices. The added liquid is simultaneously diverted by the grid and flows into the mixing chamber from multiple orifices, while reducing the diameter of the connecting port to prevent internal ice from flying out of the connecting port.

[0033] In this design, the inlet 21 is located directly above the cavity 201 to facilitate the addition of liquid materials.

[0034] In this embodiment of the invention, the guide bottom 22, the enclosure portion 24, and the grid 231 are integrally formed with the container shell 1. Its structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0035] In addition, this embodiment of the invention also includes a cover 4, which is used to seal the inlet 21. During normal operation of the stirring assembly, the cover 4 effectively maintains a hygienic internal environment by sealing the inlet, and when materials need to be added, the cover 4 can simply be removed.

[0036] To make it more convenient to use, the cover 4 is hinged to one side of the inlet 21 and can rotate along the hinge to open or close the inlet 21. Its structure is simple and easy to use.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, this utility model also provides a snow melting machine, including a body 9, on which a container with a feed inlet is provided as described above, and a stirring assembly 3 located in a mixing chamber 101 is also provided on the body 9. Because the snow melting machine has this feed inlet structure, it also possesses the same beneficial effects.

[0038] This utility model provides a container with an inlet, which separates the inlet and the connecting port by a guide bottom. When the user adds liquid material from the inlet, it is first guided by the guide bottom to the connecting port and enters the mixing chamber. This avoids the liquid being poured directly into the mixing chamber and causing a large impact with the stirring component, which would cause the liquid to splash everywhere and splash out of the container shell from the inlet. At the same time, it also prevents the working stirring component from causing the liquid to fly out from the open inlet, effectively preventing splashing during feeding.

[0039] It should be understood that the terms "first", "second" and the like in the present application are used to describe various information, but these information should not be limited to these terms, and these terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the present application, the "first" information can also be referred to as "second" information, and similarly, the "second" information can also be referred to as "first" information. In addition, the orientation or position relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer" and the like is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0040] The above is the preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, a number of improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of the present application.
