Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical appliances, and in particular to a material discharge structure and a smoothie machine. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technology, the discharge structure design of smoothie machines is unreasonable, resulting in discharge speeds that are either too fast or too slow. When the speed is too fast, the smoothie tends to splash out, making it difficult to accurately fill cups or other containers; when the speed is too slow, it prolongs the time required to make a smoothie, reducing efficiency. Furthermore, the discharge structure design is not user-friendly, negatively impacting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to address the problem of unreasonable discharge structure design in smoothie machines by providing a discharge structure and a smoothie machine.

[0004] A discharge structure includes: a handle assembly having a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole; a transfer assembly having one end disposed on the handle assembly and located at the second mounting hole; a lifting assembly having a third mounting hole and a mating groove, the other end of the transfer assembly being disposed on the lifting assembly and located at the third mounting hole; a discharge sealing plate having a mounting slot, the discharge sealing plate being disposed on the lifting assembly with the mating groove and the mounting slot mating; and a storage bin having the handle assembly disposed on the storage bin through the first mounting hole, the storage bin having a discharge port, and the discharge sealing plate being capable of opening or closing the discharge port.

[0005] The above-disclosed material dispensing structure, through the ingenious cooperation of a handle assembly, a transmission assembly, a lifting assembly, a dispensing sealing plate, and a storage bin, constitutes a stable and efficient dispensing system. The handle assembly is equipped with a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole for connecting the storage bin and the transmission assembly, ensuring a secure connection between the components and providing a fundamental guarantee for the normal operation of the entire dispensing structure. The transmission assembly is connected at both ends to the handle assembly and the lifting assembly, effectively transmitting operating force to open and close the dispensing sealing plate. After the smoothie is made, the operator only needs to operate the handle assembly; through the action of the transmission assembly, the lifting assembly can be easily driven, thereby opening or closing the dispensing port. This simple and direct operation method greatly improves dispensing efficiency, reduces the workload of operators, and can quickly meet customer demand for smoothies. Because the dispensing sealing plate can tightly close the dispensing port, it effectively prevents external dust and impurities from entering the storage bin, avoiding contamination of the smoothie and ensuring its hygienic quality. Meanwhile, when material needs to be discharged, the discharge sealing plate opens quickly, ensuring smooth discharge and preventing material residue from accumulating at the discharge port. This reduces the risk of bacterial growth and provides consumers with a safer and healthier smoothie product. Due to its reasonable structural design, ease of operation, and hygienic safety features, this discharge structure is suitable for various types of smoothie machines. Whether it's a large commercial smoothie machine or a small home smoothie machine, installing this discharge structure can enhance the smoothie making and discharging experience, meeting the needs of different users.

[0006] In one embodiment, the handle assembly includes a handle body and a return spring. Multiple first mounting holes are located on both sides of the handle body, which is mounted on the storage bin via these holes. The return spring is mounted on the handle body and extends towards the lifting assembly. By mounting the return spring on the handle body, when the operator presses down to open the discharge sealing plate, the return spring contacts the lifting assembly and is compressed, providing feedback to the operator and enhancing the tactile feel of the operation. After the discharge operation is completed, releasing the handle body allows the return spring to quickly return to its original position using its elastic restoring force, facilitating the next operation. The entire operation is smooth and natural. The multiple first mounting holes on both sides of the handle body increase the connection points between the handle assembly and the storage bin, making the connection more secure. Compared to a single mounting hole, multiple first mounting holes better distribute the stress generated during operation, reducing the risk of damage to the connection points due to frequent operation, extending the overall service life of the discharge structure, and reducing equipment maintenance costs.

[0007] In one embodiment, the handle body includes a handle, a rotating housing, and a mounting housing. The rotating housing is disposed on the storage bin through multiple first mounting holes. The handle is disposed on the rotating housing. The mounting housing is disposed on the rotating housing and located at the multiple first mounting holes. The return spring is disposed on the mounting housing. Multiple second mounting holes are located on both sides of the rotating housing. One end of the transmission component is disposed on the rotating housing and located at the multiple second mounting holes. By placing the handle on the rotating housing, the operator can easily control the handle assembly by rotating the housing around the first mounting holes. This design makes opening and closing the discharge sealing plate less strenuous, reducing fatigue even after prolonged use, and greatly improving operator efficiency and experience. The mounting housing, disposed on the rotating housing and located at the multiple first mounting holes, not only further strengthens the connection between the rotating housing and the storage bin but also positions and protects the return spring, reducing wear caused by external impacts or frequent rotation, ensuring the stability of the entire discharge structure, and reducing the probability of failure. Multiple secondary mounting holes are also provided on both sides of the rotating housing, providing more stable connection points for the transmission components. This allows the operating force of the handle assembly to be transmitted to the lifting assembly more precisely and efficiently, ensuring that the discharge sealing plate can quickly and accurately open or close the discharge port, avoiding jamming or delays, and ensuring the smooth operation of the smoothie machine's discharge process.

[0008] In one embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a first rotating shaft, a transmission body, and a second rotating shaft. Multiple second mounting holes are present. The first rotating shaft is disposed on the handle assembly and located at one of the multiple second mounting holes. One end of the transmission body is disposed on the first rotating shaft. Multiple third mounting holes are present. The second rotating shaft passes through the other end of the transmission body and is simultaneously disposed at one of the multiple third mounting holes of the lifting assembly. By placing the first rotating shaft at the multiple second mounting holes of the handle assembly, a stable rotational support point is provided for the transmission body. When the operator rotates the handle assembly, the transmission body can smoothly rotate around the first rotating shaft, transmitting the operating force smoothly and ensuring a smooth and unobstructed discharge operation, avoiding operational inconvenience caused by jamming and effectively improving the user experience. One end of the transmission body is connected to the first rotating shaft, and the other end is connected to the lifting assembly via the second rotating shaft, forming a stable power transmission link. The design of multiple second and third mounting holes increases connection stability, allowing the transmission assembly to withstand greater forces during power transmission, reducing the likelihood of loosening or deformation. This ensures stable power transmission from the handle assembly to the lifting assembly, guaranteeing the stable opening and closing of the discharge sealing plate. Furthermore, the combination of a first rotating shaft, a transmission body, and a second rotating shaft, with all components made of wear-resistant, high-strength materials, effectively resists wear and fatigue during frequent operation, extending the overall service life of the discharge structure, reducing equipment replacement frequency, and lowering operating costs.

[0009] In one embodiment, the lifting assembly includes a first lifting assembly and a second lifting assembly. Multiple third mounting holes are located on both sides of the first lifting assembly. The other end of the transmission assembly is disposed on the first lifting assembly and located at one of the multiple third mounting holes. The second lifting assembly is disposed on the first lifting assembly, and the discharge sealing plate is disposed on the second lifting assembly. The second lifting assembly has the mating groove. The lifting assembly is formed by combining the first and second lifting assemblies. The multiple third mounting holes on both sides of the first lifting assembly securely connect the transmission assembly, evenly distributing the operating force and preventing structural damage caused by single-point force. The second lifting assembly is disposed on the first lifting assembly; the two work together to enhance the overall structural stability, ensuring smooth operation of the discharge sealing plate and preventing shaking or displacement even after prolonged use. By disposing of the discharge sealing plate on the second lifting assembly, the operator's operation of the handle assembly is transmitted to the first lifting assembly via the transmission assembly. The first lifting assembly then pulls up the second lifting assembly, thereby controlling the upper end of the discharge sealing plate to abut against the storage bin, thus opening the lower end of the discharge sealing plate and achieving the opening and closing of the discharge port. This layered transfer method effectively improves operational precision, accurately controlling the output to meet the personalized needs of different customers for smoothie quantity. The independent first and second lifting components facilitate disassembly. When cleaning the smoothie machine, these components can be removed individually for thorough cleaning, removing residual smoothie and stains, preventing bacterial growth due to inadequate cleaning, and ensuring the hygiene and safety of smoothie production. Furthermore, the disassembled components facilitate inspection for wear and tear, allowing for timely detection and maintenance of potential problems.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first lifting assembly includes a first lifting body and a first lifting hook block. Multiple third mounting holes are located on both sides of the first lifting body. The other end of the transmission assembly is disposed on the first lifting body and located at the multiple third mounting holes. The first lifting hook block is disposed on the first lifting body, and the second lifting assembly abuts against the first lifting hook block. The first lifting body and the first lifting hook block are integrally formed. By integrally forming the first lifting body and the first lifting hook block, the connection gap between them is eliminated, greatly improving the overall structural strength. When subjected to the operating force transmitted from the transmission assembly, the integrally formed structure can effectively disperse stress, making it less prone to breakage or deformation, ensuring that the lifting assembly maintains a good working condition during long-term frequent use and extending the service life of the slush machine's discharge structure. The first lifting hook block is disposed on the first lifting body and abuts against the second lifting assembly. This unique connection method increases the contact area and friction between the two, making the connection between the second lifting assembly and the first lifting assembly more stable. During operation, it effectively prevents the second lifting assembly from loosening or falling off, ensuring stable operation of the discharge sealing plate and precise control of the discharge action. Because the movement of the second lifting component can be precisely controlled, the opening and closing range of the discharge sealing plate can be precisely controlled, and the discharge volume can be accurately adjusted. Whether it is a small number of tasting samples or a large number of regular products, a stable supply can be provided to meet the needs of smoothie making in different scenarios.

[0011] In one embodiment, the second lifting assembly includes a second lifting body, a second lifting hook block, and a limiting block. The second lifting hook block abuts against the first lifting assembly. The second lifting body is disposed on the second lifting hook block, and the limiting block is disposed on the second lifting body. The limiting block and the second lifting body together form the mating groove, and the discharge sealing plate is disposed on the limiting block. By abutting the second lifting hook block against the first lifting assembly, a stable support and power point are provided for the second lifting assembly. During operation, this ensures that the second lifting assembly always maintains the correct position, precisely controls the movement trajectory of the discharge sealing plate, and ensures that the discharge sealing plate perfectly matches the discharge port, avoiding material leakage caused by misalignment and achieving accurate material discharge. The limiting block is set on the second lifting body and forms a mating groove with the second lifting body. The discharge sealing plate is set on the limiting block. This structural design increases the installation stability of the discharge sealing plate. During the frequent opening and closing of the discharge sealing plate and in the high-frequency use scenario of the ice smoothie machine, the discharge sealing plate is not easy to shake or fall off, reducing failures caused by loose parts, reducing the frequency of equipment maintenance, ensuring the stability and reliability of the ice smoothie machine's discharge operation, and extending the service life of the discharge structure.

[0012] In one embodiment, the second lifting hook block includes an elastic element and a second hook block body. The second hook block body is disposed on the first lifting assembly, the elastic element is disposed on the second hook block body, and the second lifting main body is disposed on the elastic element. The elastic element and the second hook block body are integrally formed, as are the second lifting main body, the second lifting hook block, and the limiting block. By disposing the elastic element on the second hook block body, it plays a crucial role when the operator operates the handle assembly, and the power is transmitted through the transmission assembly to drive the lifting assembly. During the opening of the discharge sealing plate, the elastic element, through its own elastic deformation, mitigates the large instantaneous force, allowing the discharge sealing plate to smoothly transition from the closed state to the open state, avoiding the splashing of ice and sand due to excessive force, and ensuring the safety and cleanliness of the discharge process. The integral forming of the second lifting main body, the second lifting hook block, the limiting block, the elastic element, and the second hook block body reduces the connection gaps between components and enhances the overall structural strength. This robust structure is less prone to loosening or falling off during long-term use. At the same time, the one-piece design facilitates later maintenance and cleaning. When it is necessary to inspect or replace parts, the entire unit can be operated directly, improving maintenance efficiency.

[0013] In one embodiment, a protective shell is also included. The storage hopper is provided with multiple locking slots, which are distributed on both sides of the storage hopper. The protective shell is disposed on the storage hopper and located at the multiple locking slots. By installing the protective shell at the multiple locking slots on both sides of the storage hopper, the transfer components, lifting components, and discharge sealing plate can be fully wrapped, effectively resisting external collisions and scratches, preventing these structures from breaking or deforming due to accidental damage, ensuring the safety and stability of the smoothie making process, extending the service life of the discharge structure, and reducing replacement costs. At the same time, the design of multiple locking slots makes the installation of the protective shell very simple. The operator only needs to align the protective shell with the locking slot and gently snap it in to complete the installation, without complicated tools and cumbersome steps, improving the assembly efficiency of the smoothie machine and facilitating disassembly and reinstallation during later maintenance.

[0014] In one embodiment, the number of dispensing structures is multiple. By setting multiple dispensing structures, multiple smoothies can be dispensed simultaneously. During periods of high demand, operators can use different dispensing structures to quickly make multiple smoothies, meeting user needs and reducing waiting time. Furthermore, different dispensing structures can be used to make different flavored smoothies, avoiding flavor confusion. For example, in a smoothie maker, one dispensing structure can be used to make mango smoothies, and another to make strawberry smoothies, allowing users to choose according to their preferences, enriching the product range and satisfying diverse consumer tastes.

[0015] The second aspect of this application discloses a smoothie machine, which includes: the above-mentioned discharge structure; and a smoothie machine body, wherein the discharge structure is disposed on the smoothie machine body.

[0016] The second aspect disclosed above discloses a smoothie machine that, by placing the discharge structure on the main body of the smoothie machine, forms a unified whole, making the smoothie machine's appearance simpler and more streamlined, meeting modern consumers' pursuit of product aesthetics. The unified style of each component enhances its harmony with the surrounding environment, improving the overall aesthetics of the space, whether placed in a home kitchen or a commercial shop.

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

[0037] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0038] The following describes the discharge structure and smoothie machine of some embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, this embodiment discloses a discharge structure, including: a handle assembly 1, which has a first mounting hole 101 and a second mounting hole 102; a transfer assembly 2, one end of which is disposed on the handle assembly 1 and located at the second mounting hole 102; a lifting assembly 3, which has a third mounting hole 301 and a mating groove 302, and the other end of which is disposed on the lifting assembly 3 and located at the third mounting hole 301; a discharge sealing plate 4, which has a mounting slot 401, and is disposed on the lifting assembly 3 with the mating groove 302 and the mounting slot 401 mating; and a storage bin 5, which has the handle assembly 1 disposed on the storage bin 5 through the first mounting hole 101, and the storage bin 5 has a discharge port 501, which can open or close the discharge port 501.

[0041] This application discloses a dispensing structure that, through the ingenious cooperation of a handle assembly 1, a transmission assembly 2, a lifting assembly 3, a dispensing sealing plate 4, and a storage bin 5, constitutes a stable and efficient dispensing system. The handle assembly 1 is provided with a first mounting hole 101 and a second mounting hole 102 for connecting the storage bin 5 and the transmission assembly 2, ensuring a secure connection between the components and providing a fundamental guarantee for the normal operation of the entire dispensing structure. The transmission assembly 2 is connected at both ends to the handle assembly 1 and the lifting assembly 3, respectively, effectively transmitting operating force to open and close the dispensing sealing plate 4. After the smoothie is made, the operator only needs to operate the handle assembly 1; through the action of the transmission assembly 2, the lifting assembly 3 can be easily driven, thereby opening or closing the dispensing port 501 of the dispensing sealing plate 4. This simple and direct operation method greatly improves dispensing efficiency, reduces the workload of operators, and can quickly meet customers' needs for smoothies. Because the discharge sealing plate 4 can tightly close the discharge port 501, it effectively prevents external dust and impurities from entering the storage bin 5, avoiding contamination of the smoothie and ensuring its hygienic quality. At the same time, when discharge is needed, the discharge sealing plate 4 can open quickly, ensuring smooth discharge and preventing material residue from accumulating at the discharge port 501, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and providing consumers with a safer and healthier smoothie product. Due to its reasonable structural design, simple operation, and hygienic safety advantages, this discharge structure is suitable for various types of smoothie machines. Whether it's a large commercial smoothie machine or a small home smoothie machine, installing this discharge structure can improve the smoothie making and dispensing experience, meeting the needs of different users.

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the handle assembly 1 includes a handle body 11 and a return spring 12. There are multiple first mounting holes 101, which are distributed on both sides of the handle body 11. The handle body 11 is mounted on the storage bin 5 through the multiple first mounting holes 101. The return spring 12 is mounted on the handle body 11 and extends towards the lifting assembly 3. By mounting the return spring 12 on the handle body 11, when the operator presses down on the handle body 11 to open the discharge sealing plate 4, the return spring 12 contacts the lifting assembly 3 and is compressed, providing the operator with a certain feedback force, making the operation more tactile. After completing the discharge operation, the handle body 11 is released, and the return spring 12, with its own elastic restoring force, drives the handle body 11 to quickly return to its original position, facilitating the next operation. The entire operation process is smooth and natural. The multiple first mounting holes 101 on both sides of the handle body 11 increase the connection points between the handle assembly 1 and the storage bin 5, making the connection between the two more stable. Compared to a single mounting hole, multiple first mounting holes 101 can better distribute the stress generated during operation, reduce the risk of damage to the connection parts due to frequent operation, extend the overall service life of the discharge structure, and reduce equipment maintenance costs.

[0043] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the handle body 11 includes a handle 111, a rotating housing 112, and a mounting housing 113. The rotating housing 112 is mounted on the storage bin 5 through multiple first mounting holes 101. The handle 111 is mounted on the rotating housing 112. The mounting housing 113 is mounted on the rotating housing 112 and located at the multiple first mounting holes 101. A return spring 12 is mounted on the mounting housing 113. There are multiple second mounting holes 102, which are distributed on both sides of the rotating housing 112. One end of the transmission component 2 is mounted on the rotating housing 112 and located at the multiple second mounting holes 102. By mounting the handle 111 on the rotating housing 112, when the operator holds the handle 111, the rotating housing 112 can be rotated flexibly around the first mounting holes 101, thus easily controlling the handle component 1. This design makes opening and closing the discharge sealing plate 4 less strenuous, and even after long-term use, it is less likely to cause fatigue, greatly improving the operator's work efficiency and operating experience. The mounting housing 113 is mounted on the rotating housing 112 and located at multiple first mounting holes 101. This not only further strengthens the connection between the rotating housing 112 and the storage bin 5, but also positions and protects the return spring 12, reducing wear caused by external impacts or frequent rotation, ensuring the stability of the entire discharge structure, and lowering the probability of malfunction. Multiple second mounting holes 102 are also provided on both sides of the rotating housing 112, providing more stable connection points for the transmission assembly 2. This allows the operating force of the handle assembly 1 to be transmitted more accurately and efficiently to the lifting assembly 3, ensuring that the discharge sealing plate 4 can quickly and accurately open or close the discharge port 501, avoiding jamming or delays, and ensuring the smooth operation of the smoothie machine's discharge process.

[0044] like Figures 6 to 8As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the transmission component 2 includes a first rotating shaft 21, a transmission body 22, and a second rotating shaft 23. The number of second mounting holes 102 is multiple. The first rotating shaft 21 is disposed on the handle assembly 1 and located at multiple second mounting holes 102. One end of the transmission body 22 is disposed on the first rotating shaft 21. The number of third mounting holes 301 is multiple. The second rotating shaft 23 passes through the other end of the transmission body 22 and is simultaneously disposed at multiple third mounting holes 301 of the lifting assembly 3. By disposing the first rotating shaft 21 at multiple second mounting holes 102 of the handle assembly 1, a stable rotational support point is provided for the transmission body 22. When the operator rotates the handle assembly 1, the transmission body 22 can smoothly rotate around the first rotating shaft 21, transmitting the operating force smoothly and ensuring a smooth and unobstructed discharge operation, avoiding operational inconvenience caused by jamming and effectively improving the user experience. One end of the transmission body 22 is connected to the first rotating shaft 21, and the other end is connected to the lifting assembly 3 via the second rotating shaft 23, forming a stable power transmission link. The design of multiple second mounting holes 102 and third mounting holes 301 increases the stability of the connection, enabling the transmission assembly 2 to withstand greater forces when transmitting power, making it less prone to loosening or deformation. This ensures stable power transmission from the handle assembly 1 to the lifting assembly 3, guaranteeing the stable opening and closing of the discharge sealing plate 4. Furthermore, the combination of the first rotating shaft 21, the transmission body 22, and the second rotating shaft 23, with all components made of wear-resistant, high-strength materials, effectively resists wear and fatigue during frequent operation, extending the overall service life of the discharge structure, reducing equipment replacement frequency, and lowering operating costs.

[0045] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the lifting component 3 includes a first lifting component 31 and a second lifting component 32, and a plurality of third mounting holes 301 are provided on both sides of the first lifting component 31. The other end of the transmission component 2 is provided on the first lifting component 31 and located at the plurality of third mounting holes 301. The second lifting component 32 is provided on the first lifting component 31, and the discharge sealing plate 4 is provided on the second lifting component 32. The second lifting component 32 is provided with a mating groove 302. The lifting component 3 is constituted by combining the first lifting component 31 and the second lifting component 32. The plurality of third mounting holes 301 are provided on both sides of the first lifting component 31, which firmly connects the transmission component 2, so that the operating force is evenly distributed and structural damage caused by single-point force is avoided. The second lifting component 32 is provided on the first lifting component 31. The two work together to enhance the stability of the overall structure, ensure the smooth operation of the discharge sealing plate, and prevent shaking or displacement even after long-term use. By mounting the discharge sealing plate 4 on the second lifting assembly 32, the operator's operation of the handle assembly 1 is transmitted to the first lifting assembly 31 via the transmission assembly 2. The first lifting assembly 31 then pulls up the second lifting assembly 32, thereby controlling the upper end of the discharge sealing plate 4 to abut against the storage bin 5, thus opening the lower end of the discharge sealing plate 4 and opening and closing the discharge port 501. This layered transmission method effectively improves operational precision, accurately controls the discharge volume, and meets the personalized needs of different customers for the amount of smoothie. The independent design of the first and second lifting assemblies facilitates disassembly. When cleaning the smoothie machine, they can be removed separately for thorough cleaning of each component, removing residual smoothie and stains, preventing bacterial growth due to inadequate cleaning, and ensuring the hygiene and safety of smoothie production. At the same time, the disassembled components facilitate inspection of wear and tear, timely detection of potential problems, and maintenance.

[0046] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the first lifting component 31 includes a first lifting body 311 and a first lifting hook block 312, a plurality of third mounting holes 301 are respectively disposed on both sides of the first lifting body 311, the other end of the transmission component 2 is disposed on the first lifting body 311 and located at the plurality of third mounting holes 301, the first lifting hook block 312 is disposed on the first lifting body 311, the second lifting component 32 abuts against the first lifting hook block 312, and the first lifting body 311 and the first lifting hook block 312 are integrally formed. By integrally forming the first lifting body 311 and the first lifting hook block 312, the connection gap between the two is eliminated, greatly improving the overall structural strength. When subjected to the operating force transmitted from the transmission component 2, the integrally formed structure can effectively disperse stress, and is not prone to breakage, deformation and other problems, ensuring that the lifting component 3 always maintains a good working condition during long-term frequent use, and extending the service life of the ice cream machine's discharge structure. The first lifting hook 312 is mounted on the first lifting body 311 and abuts against the second lifting component 32. This unique connection method increases the contact area and friction between the two, making the connection between the second lifting component 32 and the first lifting component 31 more stable. During operation, it effectively prevents the second lifting component 32 from loosening or falling off, ensuring the stable operation of the discharge sealing plate 4 and precise control of the discharge action. Because the movement of the second lifting component 32 can be precisely controlled, the opening and closing range of the discharge sealing plate 4 can be precisely controlled, achieving precise adjustment of the discharge volume. Whether it is a small amount of tasting samples or a large amount of regular output, it can stably supply and meet the needs of smoothie making in different scenarios.

[0047] like Figures 8 to 10As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the second lifting component 32 includes a second lifting body 321, a second lifting hook block 322, and a limiting block 323. The second lifting hook block 322 abuts against the first lifting component 31. The second lifting body 321 is disposed on the second lifting hook block 322, and the limiting block 323 is disposed on the second lifting body 321. The limiting block 323 and the second lifting body 321 enclose each other to form a mating groove 302. The discharge sealing plate 4 is disposed on the limiting block 323. By abutting the second lifting hook block 322 against the first lifting component 31, a stable support and power point are provided for the second lifting component 322. During operation, it can ensure that the second lifting component 32 always maintains the correct position, accurately control the movement trajectory of the discharge sealing plate 4, and make the discharge sealing plate 4 perfectly fit with the discharge port 501, avoiding material leakage caused by misalignment and achieving accurate material discharge. The limiting block 323 is set on the second lifting body 321 and forms a mating groove 302 with the second lifting body 321. The discharge sealing plate 4 is set on the limiting block 323. This structural design increases the installation stability of the discharge sealing plate 4. During the frequent opening and closing of the discharge sealing plate 4 and in the high-frequency use scenario of the ice cream machine, the discharge sealing plate 4 is not easy to shake or fall off, reducing failures caused by loose parts, reducing the frequency of equipment maintenance, ensuring the stability and reliability of the ice cream machine's discharge operation, and extending the service life of the discharge structure.

[0048] like Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the second lifting hook block 322 includes an elastic element 3221 and a second hook block body 3222. The second hook block body 3222 is disposed on the first lifting assembly 31, the elastic element 3221 is disposed on the second hook block body 3222, and the second lifting main body 321 is disposed on the elastic element 3221. The elastic element 3221 and the second hook block body 3222 are integrally formed, and the second lifting main body 321, the second lifting hook block 322, and the limiting block 323 are integrally formed. By disposing of the elastic element 3221 on the second hook block body 3222, when the operator operates the handle assembly 1 and the power is transmitted through the transmission assembly 2 to drive the lifting assembly 3, the elastic element 3221 plays a key role. During the opening of the discharge sealing plate 4, the elastic element 3221, through its own elastic deformation, mitigates the large force generated instantaneously, allowing the discharge sealing plate 4 to smoothly transition from the closed state to the open state, avoiding the splashing of ice and sand due to excessive movement, and ensuring the safety and cleanliness of the discharge process. The second lifting body 321, the second lifting hook block 322, and the limiting block 323, along with the integral molding of the elastic element 3221 and the second hook block body 3222, reduce the connection gaps between components and enhance the overall structural strength. This stable structure is less prone to loosening or detachment during long-term use. Furthermore, the integral molding design facilitates later maintenance and cleaning; when inspection or replacement of components is required, the entire assembly can be operated directly, improving maintenance efficiency.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 12 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further includes a protective shell 6. The storage bin 5 is provided with multiple locking slots 502, which are distributed on both sides of the storage bin 5. The protective shell 6 is installed on the storage bin 5 and located at the multiple locking slots 502. By installing the protective shell at the multiple locking slots on both sides of the storage bin, the transfer component 2, the lifting component 3, and the discharge sealing plate 4 can be fully wrapped, effectively resisting external collisions and scratches, preventing these structures from breaking or deforming due to accidental damage, ensuring the safety and stability of the slush making process, extending the service life of the discharge structure, and reducing replacement costs. At the same time, the design of multiple locking slots 502 makes the installation of the protective shell 6 very simple. The operator only needs to align the protective shell 6 with the locking slot 502 and gently snap it in to complete the installation. No complicated tools or cumbersome steps are required, which improves the assembly efficiency of the slush machine and facilitates disassembly and reinstallation during later maintenance.

[0050] like Figure 1As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the number of dispensing structures is multiple. By setting multiple dispensing structures, multiple servings of smoothies can be dispensed simultaneously. During periods of high demand, operators can quickly complete the production of multiple smoothies using different dispensing structures, meeting user needs and reducing waiting time. Moreover, different dispensing structures can be used to make smoothies of different flavors, avoiding flavor confusion. For example, in a smoothie maker, one dispensing structure is used to make mango-flavored smoothies, and another is used to make strawberry-flavored smoothies. Users can choose according to their preferences, enriching the product variety and satisfying diverse consumer taste needs.
