[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smoothie machine technology, and in particular to a locking structure and a smoothie machine. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional smoothie machine designs, the locking mechanism of the mixing drum assembly is often quite complex. Specifically, existing smoothie machine mixing drum assemblies typically employ threaded connections or snap-fit ​​designs. While these designs ensure a tight fit between the mixing drum assembly and the machine body, they also make disassembly and cleaning difficult. The complex locking structure increases the maintenance difficulty of the smoothie machine. During cleaning, users may need tools to remove the mixing drum assembly from the machine body, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also risks damaging machine parts due to improper operation. Therefore, existing smoothie machines have significant shortcomings in terms of user experience and ease of maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a locking structure and a smoothie machine with a simple locking method and a correspondingly simplified locking structure, which greatly facilitates the disassembly and cleaning of the material cylinder assembly.

[0004] A locking structure for a smoothie machine includes: a housing assembly having a mounting cavity and a receiving groove; a connecting rod disposed on the housing assembly and located within the mounting cavity, at least a portion of the connecting rod extending outside the mounting cavity; a handle assembly disposed on at least the portion of the connecting rod extending outside the mounting cavity, the handle assembly being rotatable relative to the housing assembly and having at least a first position and a second position, the connecting rod rotating in the direction of rotation of the handle assembly; and a material cylinder assembly mounted on the housing assembly and located at the receiving groove, at least a portion of the material cylinder assembly being connected to the handle assembly, wherein when the handle assembly is in the first position, the material cylinder assembly is connected to the handle assembly, and when the handle assembly is in the second position, the material cylinder assembly is separated from the handle assembly.

[0005] The first aspect of this application discloses a locking structure. Through the design of the mounting cavity and receiving groove on the housing assembly, a precise installation position is provided for the connecting rod and the barrel assembly, ensuring the stability and reliability of the locking structure. When the handle assembly is in the first position, the barrel assembly is connected to the handle assembly and mounted in the mounting groove, preventing the barrel assembly from loosening or falling off during use and ensuring the installation stability of the barrel assembly. When the handle assembly is in the second position, the barrel assembly is separated from the handle assembly, allowing the user to easily remove the barrel assembly for cleaning, avoiding a complex disassembly process and improving cleaning efficiency. The design of the handle assembly being positioned on at least a portion of the connecting rod extending beyond the mounting cavity allows the user to easily grip and rotate the handle assembly, moving it from the first position to the second position to complete the disassembly of the barrel assembly, and vice versa for installation. The operation is simple and intuitive, requiring no complicated steps or tools, greatly reducing the difficulty of use for the user.

[0006] In one embodiment, the handle assembly has a notch, a locking portion, and a locking groove. At least a portion of the barrel assembly engages with the locking groove. When the handle assembly is in a first position, at least a portion of the barrel assembly is located within the locking groove and intersects with the notch. When the handle assembly is in a second position, at least a portion of the barrel assembly disengages from the locking groove and faces the notch. The engagement of the barrel assembly with the locking groove on the locking portion achieves a secure connection. When the handle assembly is in the first position, at least a portion of the barrel assembly is located within the locking groove and intersects with the notch, forming a double lock, effectively preventing the barrel assembly from accidentally falling off during use and improving safety. When the handle assembly is rotated to the second position, at least a portion of the barrel assembly disengages from the locking groove and faces the notch, allowing the barrel assembly to be easily removed. The unlocking process is smooth and convenient. The notch design provides space for the installation and removal of the barrel assembly, making operation more convenient and faster for users and avoiding unnecessary obstacles. The locking groove design guides at least a portion of the barrel assembly into the locking position accurately, ensuring the reliability and stability of the locking.

[0007] In one embodiment, the handle assembly includes a handle body and a mounting member. The handle body has an adapter groove, and the mounting member is disposed on the handle body and located within the adapter groove. The mounting member is connected to at least a portion of the connecting rod extending out of the mounting cavity, and at least a portion of the cylinder assembly is connected to the handle body. Through the connection between the mounting member and the connecting rod, and the connection between the handle body and the cylinder assembly, a stable connection is achieved between the handle assembly, the connecting rod, and the cylinder assembly, ensuring reliable transmission of rotational force and making locking and unlocking operations smoother. The adapter groove on the handle body provides a precise installation position for the mounting member, ensuring the connection accuracy between the mounting member and the connecting rod, and improving the stability and reliability of the locking structure. The design of the mounting member allows for easy connection to the portion of the connecting rod extending out of the mounting cavity, simplifying the connection method and improving assembly efficiency.

[0008] In one embodiment, the handle body has a plurality of locking protrusions, which are spaced apart and arranged around the inner sidewall of the adapter groove. The locking protrusions are used to limit the mounting component within the adapter groove. By providing a plurality of spaced locking protrusions around the inner sidewall of the adapter groove, the mounting component can be effectively limited within the adapter groove, preventing it from loosening and falling off during use, thus ensuring the overall stability and reliability of the handle assembly. The locking protrusions are simple in design and easy to manufacture, while also facilitating the assembly of the mounting component without requiring complex connection methods, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0009] In one embodiment, the mounting component has a limiting protrusion, and the handle body has a limiting groove. The limiting groove is located on the inner sidewall of the adapter groove, and the limiting protrusion is adapted to the limiting groove. By providing a limiting protrusion on the mounting component and a limiting groove on the inner sidewall of the adapter groove of the handle body, the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove are adapted to each other, effectively restricting the rotation of the mounting component relative to the handle body within the adapter groove, thus ensuring the accuracy of the mounting component's installation position. The design of the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove is simple and easy to manufacture, while also facilitating the assembly of the mounting component, eliminating the need for complex connection methods, improving assembly efficiency, and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0010] In one embodiment, the barrel assembly includes a barrel body and a connecting buckle. The connecting buckle is disposed on the barrel body and located on the outer side wall of the barrel body. The connecting buckle is connected to the handle assembly. By providing the connecting buckle on the outer side wall of the barrel body, the barrel assembly can be easily and quickly connected to the handle assembly, simplifying the installation and disassembly process and improving operational convenience. The connecting buckle and the handle assembly form a reliable connection, ensuring the stability of the barrel assembly during use and preventing accidental detachment. Placing the connecting buckle on the outer side wall of the barrel body makes it easier for the connecting buckle to engage with the handle assembly, facilitating the connection operation and improving connection efficiency. Furthermore, the structural design of placing the connecting buckle on the outer side wall of the barrel body avoids the formation of cleaning dead zones within the barrel body.

[0011] In one embodiment, two connecting buckles are provided, each located on one side of the barrel body. By providing two connecting buckles on each side of the barrel body, the connection between the barrel assembly and the handle assembly is made more stable. The symmetrical arrangement of the two connecting buckles effectively prevents the barrel assembly from shifting during installation, thus improving the reliability of the connection.

[0012] In one embodiment, the handle assembly has a connecting hole, and at least a portion of the connecting rod extending beyond the mounting cavity is adapted to the connecting hole, wherein the connecting hole is non-circular in shape. The adaptation of the connecting rod to the non-circular connecting hole effectively prevents the handle assembly from spinning freely or slipping during rotation, ensuring reliable transmission of rotational force and making locking and unlocking operations more precise and smooth. The non-circular design of the connecting hole allows for precise positioning of the connecting rod, preventing it from loosening or shifting during rotation and ensuring the stability of the connection between the handle assembly and the connecting rod.

[0013] In one embodiment, there are two handle assemblies, with both ends of the connecting rod extending out of the mounting cavity. Each handle assembly is connected to one of the two ends of the connecting rod extending out of the mounting cavity. This structural design, where each handle assembly is connected to one of the two ends of the connecting rod, ensures that the barrel assembly has at least two parts connected to the two handle assemblies, enhancing the stability of the connection structure between the barrel assembly and the handle assemblies. Furthermore, the fact that each handle assembly is connected to one end of the connecting rod means that when the user needs to disassemble the barrel assembly for cleaning or replacement, simply turning either handle assembly will cause the other handle assembly to move synchronously via the connecting rod, enabling quick disassembly of the barrel assembly. Similarly, during barrel assembly installation, this structural design ensures that the two handle assemblies synchronously and stably secure the barrel assembly, avoiding misalignment or loosening during installation. This design not only improves operational convenience but also enhances the overall stability of the locking structure.

[0014] In one embodiment, the housing assembly includes a support assembly and an upper housing assembly. The upper housing assembly is disposed on the support assembly and has the mounting cavity. The support assembly has the receiving groove. The connecting rod is disposed on the housing assembly, and the cylinder assembly is mounted on the support assembly. By dividing the housing assembly into a support assembly and an upper housing assembly, the functions of each component are more clearly defined. The support assembly is mainly responsible for supporting the cylinder assembly, and the upper housing assembly is mainly responsible for installing the connecting rod. This functional allocation makes the overall structure of the housing assembly more reasonable and compact. Placing the mounting cavity on the upper housing assembly and the receiving groove on the support assembly makes the installation and maintenance of the connecting rod and the cylinder assembly more convenient and avoids mutual interference between them.

[0015] A smoothie machine includes: a locking structure as described above; a refrigeration device disposed on the locking structure; and a scraper assembly disposed on the locking structure.

[0016] The second aspect of this application discloses a smoothie machine. By incorporating a locking structure, the machine's mixing drum assembly can be quickly and easily installed and disassembled, making operation simple and intuitive, thus improving the user experience. The refrigeration device quickly and effectively cools the ingredients, ensuring the smoothie's quality and improving its texture and taste. The scraper assembly effectively scrapes off the cooled ingredients and mixes them, increasing the smoothie's production efficiency and ensuring its uniformity and smoothness. Integrating the locking structure, refrigeration device, and scraper assembly into a single smoothie machine results in a more compact structure, more complete functionality, and improved overall product performance.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0033] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0034] The locking structure and smoothie machine of some embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Example 1, such as Figures 1 to 9As shown, this embodiment discloses a locking structure for a smoothie machine, comprising: a housing assembly 1, the housing assembly 1 having a mounting cavity 101 and a receiving groove 102; a connecting rod 2, the connecting rod 2 being disposed on the housing assembly 1 and located within the mounting cavity 101, at least a portion of the connecting rod 2 extending out of the mounting cavity 101; a handle assembly 3, the handle assembly 3 being disposed on at least a portion of the connecting rod 2 extending out of the mounting cavity 101, the handle assembly 3 being rotatable relative to the housing assembly 1 and having at least a first position and a second position, the connecting rod 2 rotating in the rotation direction of the handle assembly 3; and a material cylinder assembly 4, the material cylinder assembly 4 being mounted on the housing assembly 1 and located at the receiving groove 102, at least a portion of the material cylinder assembly 4 being connected to the handle assembly 3, the material cylinder assembly 4 being connected to the handle assembly 3 when the handle assembly 3 is in the first position, and the material cylinder assembly 4 being separated from the handle assembly 3 when the handle assembly 3 is in the second position.

[0036] The first aspect of this application discloses a locking structure. Through the design of the mounting cavity 101 and receiving groove 102 on the housing assembly 1, a precise installation position is provided for the connecting rod 2 and the barrel assembly 4, ensuring the stability and reliability of the locking structure. When the handle assembly 3 is in the first position, the barrel assembly 4 is connected to the handle assembly 3 and mounted in the mounting groove 102, preventing the barrel assembly 4 from loosening or falling off during use and ensuring the installation stability of the barrel assembly 4.

The design of the notch 302 provides space for the installation and removal of the barrel assembly 4, making operation more convenient and quick for users and avoiding unnecessary obstacles. The design of the locking groove 305 guides at least a portion of the barrel assembly 4 accurately into the locking position, ensuring the reliability and stability of the locking.

[0038] like Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the handle assembly 3 includes a handle body 31 and a mounting member 32. The handle body 31 is provided with an adapter groove 301. The mounting member 32 is disposed on the handle body 31 and located within the adapter groove 301. The mounting member 32 is at least partially connected to the connecting rod 2 extending out of the mounting cavity 101. At least a portion of the barrel assembly 4 is connected to the handle body 31. Through the connection between the mounting member 32 and the connecting rod 2, and the connection between the handle body 31 and the barrel assembly 4, a stable connection is achieved between the handle assembly 3 and the connecting rod 2 and the barrel assembly 4, ensuring reliable transmission of rotational force and making locking and unlocking operations smoother. The adapter groove 301 on the handle body 31 can provide a precise installation position for the mounting member 32, ensuring the connection accuracy between the mounting member 32 and the connecting rod 2, and improving the stability and reliability of the locking structure. The design of the mounting member 32 allows it to be easily connected to the portion of the connecting rod 2 extending out of the mounting cavity 101, simplifying the connection method and improving assembly efficiency.

[0039] like Figure 9As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the handle body 31 is provided with a plurality of locking protrusions 311, which are spaced apart and arranged around the inner sidewall of the adapter groove 301. The locking protrusions 311 are used to limit the mounting member 32 within the adapter groove 301. By providing a plurality of spaced locking protrusions 311 around the inner sidewall of the adapter groove 301, the mounting member 32 can be effectively limited within the adapter groove 301, preventing the mounting member 32 from loosening and falling off during use, thus ensuring the overall stability and reliability of the handle assembly 3. The design of the locking protrusions 311 is simple and easy to manufacture, and at the same time facilitates the assembly of the mounting member 32, eliminating the need for complex connection methods and improving assembly efficiency.

[0040] like Figure 9 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the mounting member 32 is provided with a limiting protrusion 321, and the handle body 31 is provided with a limiting groove 303. The limiting groove 303 is located on the inner sidewall of the adapter groove 301, and the limiting protrusion 321 is adapted to the limiting groove 303. By providing a limiting protrusion 321 on the mounting member 32 and a limiting groove 303 on the inner sidewall of the adapter groove 301 of the handle body 31, the limiting protrusion 321 and the limiting groove 303 are adapted to each other, which can effectively limit the rotation of the mounting member 32 relative to the handle body within the adapter groove 301, ensuring the accuracy of the installation position of the mounting member 32. The design of the limiting protrusion 321 and the limiting groove 303 is simple and easy to manufacture. At the same time, it facilitates the assembly of the mounting member 32, eliminates the need for complex connection methods, improves assembly efficiency, and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0041] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the barrel assembly 4 includes a barrel body 41 and a connecting buckle 42. The connecting buckle 42 is disposed on the barrel body 41 and located on the outer side wall of the barrel body 41. The connecting buckle 42 is connected to the handle assembly 3. By providing the connecting buckle 42 on the outer side wall of the barrel body 41, the barrel assembly 4 can be easily and quickly connected to the handle assembly 3, simplifying the installation and disassembly process and improving the convenience of operation. The connecting buckle 42 and the handle assembly 3 form a reliable connection, ensuring the stability of the barrel assembly 4 during use and preventing accidental detachment. Disposing of the connecting buckle 42 on the outer side wall of the barrel body 41 makes it easier for the connecting buckle 42 to cooperate with the handle assembly 3, facilitating the connection operation and improving connection efficiency. Furthermore, the structural design of placing the connecting buckle 42 on the outer side wall of the barrel body 41 avoids the formation of cleaning dead corners inside the barrel body 41.

[0042] like Figure 4As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the number of connecting buckles 42 is two, and the two connecting buckles 42 are respectively located on both sides of the barrel body 41. By providing two connecting buckles 42 on each side of the barrel body 41, the connection between the barrel assembly 4 and the handle assembly 3 is made more stable. The symmetrical arrangement of the two connecting buckles 42 can effectively prevent the barrel assembly 4 from deflecting during installation, thereby improving the reliability of the connection.

[0043] like Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the handle assembly 3 is provided with a connecting hole 304, and at least a portion of the connecting rod 2 extending out of the mounting cavity 101 is adapted to the connecting hole 304, and the shape of the connecting hole 304 is non-circular. By adapting the connecting rod 2 to the non-circular connecting hole 304, the handle assembly 3 can be effectively prevented from spinning freely or slipping during rotation, ensuring reliable transmission of rotational force and making locking and unlocking operations more precise and smooth. The non-circular design of the connecting hole 304 allows for precise positioning of the connecting rod 2, preventing it from loosening or shifting during rotation, and ensuring the stability of the connection between the handle assembly 3 and the connecting rod 2.

[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the number of handle assemblies 3 is two; besides the two ends of the connecting rod 2 extending out of the mounting cavity 101, the two handle assemblies 3 are respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting rod 2 extending out of the mounting cavity 101. Through the structural design of the two handle assemblies 3 respectively connecting to the two ends of the connecting rod 2 extending out of the mounting cavity 101, the material cylinder assembly 4 has at least two parts respectively connected to the two handle assemblies 3, enhancing the stability of the connection structure between the material cylinder assembly 4 and the handle assemblies 3. Furthermore, the fact that the two handle assemblies 3 are respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting rod 2 means that when the user needs to disassemble the material cylinder assembly 4 for cleaning or replacement, they only need to easily rotate either handle assembly 3 to drive the other handle assembly 3 to move synchronously through the connecting rod 2, achieving quick disassembly of the material cylinder assembly 4. Similarly, when installing the material cylinder assembly 4, this structural design also ensures that the two handle assemblies 3 synchronously and stably fix the material cylinder assembly 4, avoiding misalignment or loosening problems during installation. This design not only improves the convenience of operation but also enhances the overall stability of the locking structure.

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the housing assembly 1 includes a support assembly 11 and an upper housing assembly 12.

The upper housing assembly 11 has a mounting cavity 101, the support assembly 11 has a receiving groove 102, the connecting rod 2 is disposed on the housing assembly 11, and the cylinder assembly 4 is mounted on the support assembly 11. By dividing the housing assembly 1 into a support assembly 11 and an upper housing assembly 12, the functions of each component are more clearly defined. The support assembly 11 is mainly responsible for supporting the cylinder assembly 4, and the upper housing assembly 12 is mainly responsible for installing the connecting rod 2. This functional allocation makes the overall structure of the housing assembly 1 more reasonable and compact. Distributing the mounting cavity 101 on the upper housing assembly 12 and the receiving groove 102 on the support assembly 11 makes the installation and maintenance of the connecting rod 2 and the cylinder assembly 4 more convenient and avoids mutual interference between the connecting rod 2 and the cylinder assembly 4.

[0046] Example 2, as Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this embodiment discloses a smoothie machine, including: a locking structure as described above; a refrigeration device disposed on the locking structure; and a scraper assembly disposed on the locking structure.

[0047] The second aspect of this application discloses a smoothie machine.
