[0049] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that when an element is described as "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them.

The terms "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," "vertical," "horizontal," etc., used in this specification indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0050] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0051] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0052] An ice pop machine is an electrical product used to make ice pops. It typically consists of a casing and a main body, with the main body housed within the casing. The casing protects the main body from direct external impact. The main body contains the core functional structures necessary for making ice pops, including components such as the refrigeration system, ice pop containers, and evaporation components, with specific functional structures tailored to individual needs.

[0053] like Figure 1-3 As shown, one embodiment of this application provides an ice pop machine 10, which includes a housing 20 and a main body 30. The main body 30 is housed inside the housing 20 and is used to cool ice pop liquid to freeze it into ice pops.

[0054] In some embodiments, the popsicle machine 10 further includes a circuit board 40, which is housed within the casing 20. The casing 20 has an independent space for mounting the circuit board 40, so that the circuit board 40 is separate from the main body 30. This reduces the risk that water vapor in the air will condense into water droplets and fall onto the circuit board 40 during the popsicle making process when the main body 30 transfers cold energy to the air inside the casing 20. This also reduces the risk that the electrical components on the circuit board 40 will malfunction due to water droplets.

[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the housing 20 includes a housing body 21, and the housing body 21 is provided with a first receiving cavity 201 for accommodating the housing body 30.

[0056] The housing 20 also includes a storage box 22, which is housed in the first receiving cavity 201 and is detachably connected to the housing body 21. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the storage box 22 has a storage cavity 202 and a first connecting hole 203, which connects the first receiving cavity 201 and the storage cavity 202. The circuit board 40 is housed in the storage cavity 202, and the connection terminals of the circuit board 40 pass through the first connecting hole 203 and are connected to the power module 120 of the popsicle machine 10. This avoids the circuit board 40 being directly exposed in the first receiving cavity 201, which helps to reduce the risk of water droplets condensed in the air affecting the electrical components on the circuit board 40.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the shell body 21 is provided with a communication port 211, and the machine housing 20 also includes a mounting plate 212. The mounting plate 212 is detachably installed on the communication port 211. The mounting plate 212 is provided with a number of air holes 2121, which are used to allow air from the outside of the popsicle machine 10 to enter the first accommodating cavity 201.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the housing 20 also includes a base 23, which is detachably connected to the housing body 21. The housing body 30 is mounted on the side of the base 23 facing the housing body 21 to protect the housing body 30. Understandably, the material of the base 23 can be set as needed, such as plastic, metal, or other materials, as long as it can support the housing body 30.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the housing 20 also includes a support plate 24, which is detachably mounted on the base 23. The main body 30 is mounted on the end face of the mounting plate 212 facing away from the base 23. This design better supports the main body 30 and prevents the main body 30 from directly impacting the base 23 and causing damage. In this embodiment, the support plate 24 is made of metal, and its strength is greater than that of the base 23.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the housing 20 also includes a plurality of spaced support rods 25. The plurality of support rods 25 are detachably connected to the support plate 24 and the housing body 21 respectively. The support rods 25 are used to support the housing body 21 to enhance the support strength of the housing body 21 and reduce the risk of deformation of the housing body 21 caused by excessive external force applied to the housing body 21.

[0061] To improve the sealing performance of the connection between the storage box 22 and the shell body 21, and to reduce the impact of water droplets condensed from moisture in the air on the circuit board 40, in some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the popsicle machine 10 also includes a first sealing element 50. The first sealing element 50 is arranged around the circuit board 40 and abuts against the shell body 21 and the storage box 22 respectively. In other words, the shell body 21 and the storage box 22 together clamp the first sealing element 50, so as to seal the connection between the shell body 21 and the storage box 22, which helps to isolate the storage cavity 202 from the first receiving cavity 201. The first sealing element 50 can be a sealing ring, a sealing tape, or other materials, which can be set according to needs.

[0062] Furthermore, the popsicle machine 10 also includes a sealant (not shown in the figure). The sealant is disposed in the first connecting hole 203 and is used to fill the first connecting hole 203. That is, the sealant fills the gap between the connection terminal of the circuit board 40 and the inner wall of the first connecting hole 203, so as to isolate the receiving cavity 202 from the first accommodating cavity 201. This further reduces the risk of water droplets formed by the condensation of water vapor in the air in the first accommodating cavity 201 due to the effect of cooling, which may act on the electrical components on the circuit board 40, thereby improving the stability of the popsicle machine 10 in operation.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the shell body 21 has a first protrusion 213 on the side facing the storage box 22. The first protrusion 213 abuts against the four periphery of the storage box 22. The first protrusion 213 has a first groove 2131, which houses the first sealing element 50. This improves the sealing performance at the connection between the shell body 21 and the storage box 22. It should be understood that the depth of the first groove 2131 should be less than or equal to the thickness of the first sealing element 50, so that the first sealing element 50 is held between the first protrusion 213 and the storage box 22. Under the action of the first sealing element 50, the sealing performance at the connection between the first protrusion 213 and the storage box 22 is improved.

[0064] Understandably, the storage box 22 and the shell body 21 can be connected by bolts or other connectors, or by clips, or even by glue. The specific connection can be made according to the needs.

[0065] In some embodiments, the storage box 22 and the shell body 21 are connected by bolts or other connecting components. Specifically, for example... Figure 5 As shown, the storage box 22 includes a box body 221 and multiple protrusions 222. The multiple protrusions 222 are all connected to the box body 221 and are distributed at intervals around the box body 221. Each protrusion 222 is provided with a connection hole 2221. Multiple connecting posts 214 are provided on the side of the shell body 21 facing the storage box 22. The multiple connecting posts 214 are arranged around the box body 221. One connecting post 214 is connected to the connection hole 2221 of one protrusion 222 by bolts or other connecting parts. In this way, the connection between the storage box 22 and the shell body 21 can be realized.

[0066] Define the direction that is perpendicular to both the circuit board 40 and the storage box 22 as the first direction Z, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, along the first direction Z, the shell body 21 has a second accommodating cavity 204 and a second connecting hole (not shown) communicating with the second accommodating cavity 204 on the side opposite to the circuit board 40.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the popsicle machine 10 also includes a display screen 60, which is housed in the second accommodating cavity 204. The connection terminals of the display screen 60 pass through the second connecting hole and are connected to the circuit board 40. The display screen 60 is used to display the working status of the main body 30, such as the popsicle making time, the temperature currently adjusted by the main body 30 of the popsicle machine 10, the working mode of the main body 30, etc.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6As shown, the housing 20 also includes a cover 26, which is detachably connected to the housing body 21 and covers the second accommodating cavity 204. The cover 26 prevents external forces from directly impacting the display screen 60. At least a portion of the cover 26 is transparent, allowing the user to observe the display screen 60 through it. For example, along the first direction Z, the area of ​​the cover 26 directly above the display screen 60 is made of transparent material; or, the entire cover 26 may be made of transparent material.

[0069] In some embodiments, please refer again Figure 4 The shell body 21 has a second protrusion 215 on the side away from the circuit board 40, and the second protrusion 215 has a second accommodating cavity 204. The shell cover 26 has a third protrusion 261 on the side facing the shell body 21. The second protrusion 215 and the third protrusion 261 abut against each other to close the second accommodating cavity 204. In this way, the cooperation between the shell cover 26 and the shell body 21 can close the second accommodating cavity 204, thereby reducing the risk that the external humid air or water droplets condensed in the air will affect the normal display of the display screen 60, and improving the stability of the popsicle machine 10 during normal operation.

[0070] In other embodiments, a portion of the shell body 21 on the side opposite to the circuit board 40 is recessed to form a recess (not shown). The recess has a second accommodating cavity 204. The shell cover 26 on the side facing the shell body 21 has a third protrusion 261. The recess and the third protrusion 261 abut against each other to close the second accommodating cavity 204. With the cooperation of the recess and the third protrusion 261, the display screen 60 can also be isolated from the outside world, thereby reducing the risk that the humid air or water droplets condensed in the air will affect the normal display of the display screen 60.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the popsicle machine 10 also includes a second sealing element 70. The second protrusion 215 has a second groove 2151, and the second sealing element 70 is disposed in the second groove 2151. The second sealing element 70 is located between the second protrusion 215 and the third protrusion 261. This helps to further improve the sealing performance between the cover 26 and the body 21, and is more conducive to the normal operation of the display screen 60. The second sealing element 70 can be a sealing ring, a sealing tape, or other materials, depending on the specific requirements.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the portion of the shell body 21 facing away from the circuit board 40 protrudes to form a limiting frame 217. The limiting frame 217 is disposed within the second accommodating cavity 204, and the second protrusion 215 is arranged around the limiting frame 217. The display screen 60 is disposed within the display frame, and the limiting frame 217 is used to constrain the movement of the display screen 60. The limiting frame 217 facilitates the positioning of the display screen 60 at the required installation location, thereby improving assembly efficiency. In this embodiment, the second connecting hole is disposed within the limiting frame 217.

[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the popsicle machine 10 also includes a pressure seat 80, which is detachably connected to the side of the housing 21 away from the circuit board 40. The pressure seat 80 presses against the four periphery of the display screen 60, and has an opening that exposes the display screen 60. The pressure seat 80 further constrains the movement of the display screen 60, preventing it from detaching from the housing 21. In this embodiment, to reduce the risk of rigid damage to the display screen 60 caused by the pressure seat 80, a buffer is also provided between the display screen 60 and the pressure seat 80. The pressure seat 80 indirectly presses against the display screen 60 through the buffer. The buffer can be foam, rubber rings, or other materials, depending on actual needs.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4-6 As shown, the circuit board 40 is equipped with multiple spring buttons 41, which are spaced apart and located within the second protrusion 215. Specifically, the second protrusion 215 encloses the multiple spring buttons 41, which are then housed within the second receiving cavity 204 to prevent the influence of external humid air on them. All the spring buttons 41 abut against the cover 26. Thus, the user only needs to press the button area located above the multiple spring buttons 41 in the cover 26 to control the main body 30 via the circuit board 40 and adjust the working status of the popsicle machine 10.

[0075] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the housing 20 also includes a cover 27, and the housing body 21 has an opening 218 that communicates with the first receiving cavity 201. The cover 27 is located on the housing body 21 and covers the opening 218. In this embodiment, along the first direction Z, the opening 218 is located above the housing body 30. The opening 218 is used to expose the popsicle box assembly 36 of the housing body 30, so as to facilitate the addition of popsicle liquid to the popsicle box assembly 36 for popsicle making.

[0076] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7The popsicle machine 10 also includes a magnetic suction assembly 90, which is located on the housing 20 and adjacent to the opening 218. The magnetic suction assembly magnetically connects the housing body 21 and the cover 27. Thus, the magnetic suction assembly 90 helps to reduce the gap between the cover 27 and the housing body 21, thereby reducing the risk of cold air leakage inside the housing body 21, improving the cooling effect, and making it more convenient to use.

[0077] In use, when the cover 27 needs to be placed on the shell body 21 to cover the opening 218, simply place the cover 27 directly on the opening 218 of the shell body 21 and move it to a suitable position. Under the action of the magnetic component 90, the cover 27 will be attracted to the shell body 21, thus reducing the risk of cold leakage due to a large gap between the edge of the cover 27 and the shell body 21 caused by deformation. When it is necessary to remove the cover 27 from the shell body 21, simply apply a preset force away from the shell body 21 to the cover 27 to overcome the attraction of the magnetic component 90, and the cover 27 will be separated from the shell body 21.

[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cover 27 is made of metal, and the shell body 21 is provided with a magnetic attraction assembly 90, which includes multiple magnetic elements 91, which are disposed around the opening 218. When the metal cover 27 is placed on the shell body 21 and covers the opening 218, the cover 27 will be attracted to the shell body 21 by the magnetic attraction of the multiple magnetic elements 91, which facilitates the contact between the edge of the cover 27 and the shell body 21.

[0079] In some embodiments, the cover 27 is made of a non-metallic material, the shell body 21 is made of a metallic material, and the magnetic component 90 is disposed on the cover 27, so that the cover 27 is attached to the shell body 21 by the magnetic component 90.

[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the magnetic component 90 includes at least one magnetic element 92 and at least one magnetic element 91. The at least one magnetic element 91 is located around the opening 218, and the at least one magnetic element 92 is located on the end face of the cover 27 facing the housing body 21. Thus, when the cover 27 is placed on the housing body 21 and covers the opening 218, the magnetic element 92 and the magnetic element 91 magnetically attract each other, and the cover 27 is attracted to the housing body 21. In this embodiment, the end face of the cover 27 facing the housing body 21 has a mounting groove 271, and the magnetic element 92 is located within the mounting groove 271. This helps reduce the risk of excessive gap between the cover 27 and the housing body 21 due to the presence of the magnetic element 92, thus improving the user experience.

[0081] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, there are four magnetic attractors 92 and four magnetic elements 91. The four magnetic attractors 92 are spaced apart around the perimeter of the end face of the cover 27 facing the opening 218, and the four magnetic elements 91 are spaced apart on the shell body 21. Each magnetic attractor 92 and magnetic element 91 magnetically attract each other. This facilitates the attraction of the perimeter of the shell body 21 at the opening 218 to the perimeter of the cover 27, reducing the risk of the cover 27 deforming and failing to fit properly with the shell body 21 at the opening 218, and also reducing the risk of cold air escaping from the first accommodating cavity 201 to the outside of the shell body 21.

[0082] Magnetic component 91 can be a magnet or other magnetic object, depending on the requirements. Magnetic attracting component 92 can be an iron block or other object that can be magnetically attracted by the magnet or other magnetic component 91.

[0083] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 2 and Figure 8 The housing 20 also includes a mounting bracket 28, which is installed at the opening 218 of the housing body 21. The mounting bracket 28 has a through-hole 281 communicating with the opening 218, and the magnetic element 91 is disposed between the housing body 21 and the mounting bracket 28. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 28 includes an edge portion 282 connected to the housing body 21, and the edge portion 282 has a receiving opening 2821. The magnetic element 91 is received in the receiving opening 2821. This facilitates the fit between the edge portion 282 and the housing body 21, reducing the risk of excessive spacing between the housing body 21 and the mounting bracket 28 due to the presence of the magnetic element 91.

[0084] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the cover 27 includes a cover body 272 and a connecting block 273, with the connecting block 273 protruding from the edge of the cover body 272. The cover body 272 has a raised ring 2721 on one end face facing the shell body 21, and the shell body 21 has a recessed edge 219 surrounding the opening 218. When the cover 27 is positioned on the shell body 21 and covers the opening 218, the raised ring 2721 is positioned on the recessed edge 219, which improves the sealing performance between the cover 27 and the shell body 21 and reduces the risk of leakage from the edge between the cover 27 and the shell body 21 into the outside environment.

[0085] With the above structure, when the cover 27 is placed on the shell body 21 and covers the open opening 218, the magnetic suction component 90 helps to reduce the gap between the cover 27 and the shell body 21, thereby reducing the risk of cold leakage inside the shell body 21, improving the cooling effect, and making it more convenient to use.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the main body 30 includes a refrigeration system 32, an evaporation assembly 34, and an ice pop container assembly 36. The refrigeration system 32 is connected to the evaporation assembly 34, and the evaporation assembly 34 is connected to the ice pop container assembly 36. The ice pop container assembly 36 is used to hold ice pop liquid. The refrigeration system 32 supplies a cooling medium to the evaporation assembly 34 to absorb the heat from the ice pop container assembly 36, thereby freezing the ice pop liquid in the ice pop container assembly 36 into ice pops. The refrigeration system 32 is connected to a circuit board 40, which controls the supply of cooling medium by the refrigeration system 32.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 9 As shown, the refrigeration system 32 includes a compressor 321, a condenser 322, and a capillary tube 323. The compressor 321, condenser 322, and capillary tube 323 are all connected to the support plate 24. The output end of the compressor 321 is connected to the input end of the condenser 322. The output end of the condenser 322 is connected to one end of the capillary tube 323. The other end of the capillary tube 323 is connected to the input end of the evaporation assembly 34. The output end of the evaporation assembly 34 is connected to the input end of the compressor 321.

[0088] like Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9 A schematic diagram of the connection between the refrigeration system 32 and the evaporator assembly 34 is shown. When the refrigeration switch is turned on, the compressor 321 starts working. The cooling medium passes through the condenser 322 and then through the capillary tube 323, entering from the input end of the evaporator assembly 34. It is then transported along the conveying path of the evaporator assembly 34 and exited from the output end of the evaporator assembly 34, returning to the compressor 321, thus completing one refrigeration cycle. With the heat exchange between the cooling medium transported along the conveying path of the evaporator assembly 34 and the popsicle box assembly 36, the heat of the popsicle box assembly 36 is gradually absorbed to achieve the purpose of freezing, so as to freeze the popsicle liquid contained in the popsicle box assembly 36, thereby making popsicles.

[0089] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the refrigeration system 32 also includes a fan 324, which is mounted on the support plate 24 and adjacent to the condenser 322. The air outlet of the fan 324 faces the condenser 322, and the fan 324 is used to blow air onto the condenser 322 to accelerate the dissipation of heat from the condenser 322. In this embodiment, the fan 324 is located on one side of the mounting plate 212 so that external air enters the first accommodating cavity 201 through the air hole 2121 and is then blown onto the condenser 322 by the fan 324.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9As shown, the refrigeration system 32 also includes a first dryer filter 325, which is connected between the capillary tube 323 and the condenser 322. The first dryer filter 325 is used to filter out the moisture mixed in with the cooling medium output from the condenser 322 to ensure that the cooling medium is delivered to the capillary tube 323.

[0091] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the refrigeration system 32 also includes a second dryer filter 326, which is connected between the input end of the compressor 321 and the output end of the evaporation assembly 34. The second dryer filter 326 is used to dry the cooling medium output from the evaporation assembly 34 so that the dried cooling medium can be delivered to the compressor 321.

[0092] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 10 As shown, the evaporator assembly 34 includes a support frame 341, a pipe assembly 343, and at least one evaporator 342. The support frame 341 is connected to the housing 20. At least one evaporator 342 is mounted on the support frame 341. The pipe assembly 343 is connected to the evaporator 342. The input end of the pipe assembly 343 is connected to the output end of the refrigeration system 32, and the output end of the pipe assembly 343 is connected to the input end of the refrigeration system 32. In this embodiment, the support frame 341 is provided with three mounting openings 3411. There are three evaporators 342, with one evaporator 342 mounted in one mounting opening 3411, so that the support frame 341 can support three evaporators 342 simultaneously. It should be noted that the number of evaporators 342 is not limited to the three mentioned in this embodiment; the number can be arbitrary and can be designed according to user needs.

[0093] It should be understood that the number of installation openings 3411 varies with the number of evaporators 342. If there are two evaporators 342, then there are two installation openings 3411; if there are four evaporators 342, then there are four installation openings 3411.

[0094] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the support frame 341 is provided with at least one positioning shoulder 3412 and at least one first connecting lug 3413. One positioning shoulder 3412 is arranged around a mounting opening 3411, and each positioning shoulder 3412 is provided with a first positioning hole 34121 around its periphery. The first positioning hole 34121 is used to connect with the evaporator 342.

[0095] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10As shown, the evaporator 342 includes a container body 3421 and a first protruding edge 3422 connected to it. The first protruding edge 3422 is located at the open end of the container body 3421 and is arranged around the container body 3421. The first protruding edge 3422 is mounted on a positioning shoulder 3412. Under the constraint of the positioning shoulder 3412, the container body 3421 and the support frame 341 are relatively fixed. In this embodiment, a second positioning hole 34221 is provided around the periphery of the first protruding edge 3422. The second positioning hole 34221 is used for positioning and connecting with the first positioning hole 34121, thereby realizing the relative fixation of the evaporator 342 and the support frame 341.

[0096] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the pipe assembly 343 includes at least two sets of curved pipes 3431 and at least one series pipe (not shown). Each pair of curved pipes 3431 is connected in series via a series pipe, allowing the cooling medium to flow along the first set of curved pipes 3431, then through the series pipe, and finally to the second set of curved pipes 3431. In this embodiment, the two sets of curved pipes 3431 are respectively positioned on opposite sides of an evaporator 342, which facilitates faster absorption of heat from the evaporator 342 by the cooling medium. In this embodiment, there are three evaporators 342, each with curved pipes 3431 on opposite sides. Adjacent sets of curved pipes 3431 are connected via series pipes, enabling the cooling medium to flow along a predetermined path from the curved pipe 3431 on one side of the first evaporator 342 and exit from the curved pipe 3431 on the side of the last evaporator 342, ultimately flowing to the input end of the refrigeration system 32.

[0097] It should be noted that the input end of the evaporator assembly 34 refers to the end of the multiple sets of curved pipes 3431 connected in series, which is used to connect to the output end of the refrigeration system 32. The output end of the evaporator assembly 34 refers to the end of the multiple sets of curved pipes 3431 connected in series, which is used to connect to the input end of the refrigeration system 32. The delivery path of the evaporator assembly 34 refers to the path constructed from the input end of the multiple sets of curved pipes 3431 connected in series along the pipe to the output end of the multiple sets of curved pipes 3431 connected in series.

[0098] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10As shown, the evaporation assembly 34 also includes at least two conductive plates 344, with each pair of conductive plates 344 positioned on opposite sides of an evaporator 342. A bent tube 3431 is located on the end face of the conductive plate 344 facing away from the evaporator 342. This arrangement increases the contact area between the conductive plates 344 and the evaporator 342, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency. In this embodiment, the bent tube 3431 is connected to the conductive plate 344 by heat fusion, and the conductive plate 344 is connected to the evaporator 342 by adhesive bonding.

[0099] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the evaporation assembly 34 also includes an insulation box 345, which is connected to the support plate 24 and the support frame 341 is connected to the insulation box 345. The evaporator 342 and the tube assembly 343 are both housed in the insulation box 345. The insulation box 345 is used to keep the evaporator 342 and the tube assembly 343 warm so as to prevent the high outside temperature from affecting the evaporator 342's absorption of heat from the popsicle box assembly 36. In this embodiment, the insulation box 345 is provided with a window 3451 and a detachably connected side plate 3452. The side plate 3452 is used to cover the window 3451. The side plate 3452 is provided with a first through hole 34521 and a second through hole 34522. The first through hole 34521 is used to allow the output end of the refrigeration system 32 to be connected to the input end of the pipe assembly 343 through a pipe. The second through hole 34522 is used to allow the output end of the pipe assembly 343 to be connected to the input end of the refrigeration system 32 through another pipe. This helps to ensure that the refrigeration system 32 stably delivers cooling medium to the evaporation assembly 34.

[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, multiple second connecting lugs 3453 are provided on all four sides of the insulated box 345. One second connecting lug 3453 is connected to one first connecting lug 3413 to achieve relative fixation between the support frame 341 and the insulated box 345.

[0101] In some embodiments, the insulated box 345 is filled with insulating material (not shown), which wraps around the evaporator 342 and the pipe assembly 343. This helps to further reduce the impact of external temperature on the evaporator 342 and the pipe assembly 343, ensuring the cooling medium effectively absorbs heat from the popsicle box assembly 36 through the evaporator 342, thereby improving the efficiency of popsicle production. The insulating material can be a foaming agent or other materials, depending on the specific requirements.

[0102] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11As shown, the popsicle box assembly 36 includes a support frame 361 and at least one popsicle box 362. The support frame 361 is mounted on the mounting frame 28 and has at least one insertion port 3611. Each insertion port 3611 communicates with a through port 281. One popsicle box 362 is inserted into an evaporator 342 through one insertion port 3611. In this embodiment, the support frame 361 has three spaced-apart insertion ports 3611, and there are three popsicle boxes 362. One popsicle box 362 is inserted into one insertion port 3611 and extends into the container body 3421. In this way, the heat of the popsicle box 362 can be transferred through the container body 3421, thereby achieving the purpose of refrigeration. In use, the popsicle box 362 is filled with popsicle liquid. Under the action of the cooling medium supplied by the refrigeration system 32 to the evaporation assembly 34, the popsicle liquid in the popsicle box 362 will freeze into popsicles.

[0103] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the popsicle box 362 includes a connected box body 3621 and a second protruding edge 3622. The second protruding edge 3622 is located at the open end of the box body 3621 and surrounds the box body 3621. The second protruding edge 3622 abuts against the edge of the insertion port 3611, allowing the box body 3621 to be supported by the support frame 361. In this embodiment, the box body 3621 is used to contain popsicle liquid to be frozen. The popsicle liquid can be, but is not limited to, milk, sugar water, or other liquids used to make popsicles, and can be selected according to the user's needs.

[0104] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the support frame 361 includes a support portion 3612 and a vertical side portion 3613. The vertical side portion 3613 is connected to the support portion 3612 and is arranged around the support portion 3612. The support portion 3612 is provided with multiple insertion ports 3611. The vertical side portion 3613 is arranged perpendicularly to the surface of the support portion 3612 to block the four sides of the support portion 3612, preventing the popsicle liquid overflowing from the popsicle box 362 from flowing out from the edge of the support portion 3612 and into the shell body 21. This facilitates the user's cleaning of the popsicle machine 10 and helps improve the user's sample handling efficiency.

[0105] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the popsicle box assembly 36 also includes a lid 363, which is disposed on the support frame 361 and covers multiple ports 3611 to prevent the popsicle liquid from being contaminated by the box body 3621 when the cover 27 is lifted. In this embodiment, the support portion 3612 of the support frame 361 is provided with a recessed groove, and at least one port 3611 is disposed in the recessed groove. The lid 363 closes to the recessed groove to cover at least one port 3611.

[0106] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11As shown, the lid 363 is provided with a lifting block 3631, which protrudes from the surface of the lid 363. The lifting block 3631 is used by the user to lift the lid 363 to remove it from the recessed groove, so that the user can take out the popsicle or add popsicle liquid into the box 3621. In this embodiment, there are two lifting blocks 3631, which are arranged at intervals.

[0107] In some embodiments, please combine again Figure 2 and Figure 9 The main body 30 also includes a solenoid valve 38. One end of the solenoid valve 38 is connected to the output end of the compressor 321, and the other end of the solenoid valve 38 is connected to the input end of the pipe assembly 343. The solenoid valve 38 can directly supply cooling medium to the input end of the pipe assembly 343 according to user needs. At this time, the temperature of the cooling medium directly supplied from the compressor 321 is higher than the temperature of the popsicle after molding. The high temperature cooling medium can be used to slightly heat the popsicle, so that the part of the popsicle in contact with the box 3621 is slightly melted, which makes it easier for the popsicle to be demolded from the box 3621, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0108] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the popsicle machine 10 also includes a power module 120, which is connected to the refrigeration system 32 and the circuit board 40. The power module 120 is used to provide different voltages to the refrigeration system 32 so that each component of the refrigeration system 32 is at the normal operating voltage.

[0109] In use, the user can first apply a preset force to overcome the attraction of the magnetic component 90, causing the cover 27 to separate from the shell body 21 to expose the opening 218. Then, the user can remove the lid 363 from the support frame 361 and add popsicle liquid into the box 3621. After filling with popsicle liquid, the user can put the lid 363 back on and then turn on the cooling switch of the cooling system 32, so that the cooling system 32 supplies cooling medium to the evaporation component 34 to freeze the popsicle liquid. After the predetermined cooling time is reached, the user can stop the cooling and lift the support frame 361 along with multiple popsicle boxes 362 from the mounting frame 28. Finally, the user can remove the formed popsicles from the box 3621 individually.
