[0002] A slush machine, also known as a slush maker or slush blender, is a device specifically designed for making refreshing beverages. Its main function is to transform various fruit juices into smooth, slush-like drinks, providing consumers with a refreshing summer experience.

[0003] The design of the connection interface between the snow melting machine and the water tank lacks simplicity and intuitiveness. The interface shape is often irregular and mostly a delicate embedded structure. This means that when connecting, the operator needs to match the water tank interface with the main body interface of the snow melting machine with extreme precision. Even a slight deviation may lead to connection failure, making it impossible to achieve the sealing and liquid transfer functions, which greatly reduces work efficiency. Especially during peak beverage production periods, this inconvenience will seriously affect the rapid operation of beverage production. Utility Model Content

[0007] Preferably, the inner ring of the spring matches the outer wall shape of the connecting shaft, and the spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting shaft, so that the connecting block can move stably to compress the spring.

[0008] Preferably, the shape of the inner wall of the bayonet matches the shape of the outer side of the card block, and the card block is movably connected to the inner wall of the bayonet, so that the card block can be inserted into the inside of the bayonet to achieve the purpose of limiting movement.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the connecting frame has an opening through which the card block passes, allowing the card block to move through the opening.

[0010] The top of the connecting frame is provided with a sliding hole, and the outer wall size of the connecting shaft matches the inner wall size of the sliding hole, so that the connecting shaft can move through the sliding hole.

[0011] Preferably, the pushing mechanism includes a support frame, which is fixedly connected to the upper side of the snow melting machine body. A limit frame is fixedly connected to the inner side of the support frame. A protrusion is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limit frame.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a snow melting machine water tank with a spring locking mechanism, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This snow melting machine water tank, equipped with a spring locking mechanism, utilizes a spring in a compressed state to lower a locking block via a connecting block. This allows the locking block to be inserted into the slot, effectively limiting its movement and enabling the water tank to be installed and connected. The interface dimensions are precisely matched, and it features self-positioning and guiding functions. This simple and intuitive interface design greatly reduces the difficulty of connection, allowing operators to quickly and accurately connect the water tank to the snow melting machine, reducing installation time. During peak beverage production periods, it improves equipment turnover efficiency and ensures timely beverage supply.

[0015] This snow melting machine water tank with a spring locking mechanism uses a push mechanism to push the connecting block and move the locking block by matching the inclined surfaces of the inner side of the connecting block and the top of the protrusion. This allows the locking block to disengage from the inside of the locking slot, thus releasing the locking mechanism and facilitating further disassembly of the water tank body. This improves the ease of operation and use for staff. Attached Figure Description

[0026] This utility model provides the following technical solution: Example

[0027] Combination Figures 1 to 6 A snow melting machine water tank with a spring locking mechanism includes a water tank body 3, a locking mechanism 2 is provided on both the front and rear sides of the water tank body 3, a snow melting machine body 1 is movably connected to the right side of the water tank body 3, a pushing mechanism 4 is provided on both the front and rear sides of the water tank body 3, an edge protrusion 5 is fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the water tank body 3, and a groove 6 is opened on the inner side of the snow melting machine body 1, with the protrusion 5 inserted into the groove 6.

[0028] The locking mechanism 2 includes a connecting frame 21, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water tank body 3. A spring 23 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting frame 21. A connecting block 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the spring 23. A connecting shaft 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block 25. A locking block 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 25. A locking slot 22 is opened on the upper side of the snow melting machine body 1.

[0029] Furthermore, the inner ring shape of the spring 23 matches the outer wall shape of the connecting shaft 24, and the spring 23 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting shaft 24, so that the connecting block 25 can move stably to compress the spring 23.

[0030] Furthermore, the inner wall shape of the bayonet 22 matches the outer shape of the block 26, and the block 26 is movably connected to the inner wall of the bayonet 22, so that the block 26 can be inserted into the interior of the bayonet 22 to achieve the purpose of limiting movement.

[0031] Furthermore, the bottom of the connecting frame 21 has an opening through which the locking block 26 passes, allowing the locking block 26 to move through the opening.

[0032] Furthermore, a sliding hole is provided at the top of the connecting frame 21, and the outer wall size of the connecting shaft 24 matches the inner wall size of the sliding hole, so that the connecting shaft 24 can move through the sliding hole. Example

[0033] See Figures 1 to 6 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the pushing mechanism 4 includes a support frame 41, which is fixedly connected to the upper side of the snow melting machine body 1. A limiting frame 42 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the support frame 41. A protrusion 43 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting frame 42. A push block 44 is fixedly connected to one side of the protrusion 43, which facilitates pushing the locking block 26 out of the inside of the locking slot 22 to achieve the purpose of canceling the locking.

[0034] Furthermore, the inner side of the connecting block 25, the bottom of the locking block 26, and the top of the protrusion 43 are all inclined, so that the protrusion 43 can push the connecting block 25 to move.

[0035] In actual operation, when this device is used, firstly, when it is necessary to install the water tank body 3 on the snow melting machine body 1, the water tank body 3 can be inserted into the left side of the snow melting machine body 1. At this time, since the bottom of the locking block 26 is set with an inclined surface, the locking block 26 will be pushed upward by the snow melting machine body 1. The locking block 26 can drive the connecting shaft 24 to move upward through the connecting block 25, compressing the spring 23. At the same time, the locking block 26 can slide and limit the movement inside the connecting frame 21. So at this time, the water tank body 3 can be inserted into the left side of the snow melting machine body 1. When the locking block 26 is aligned with the bayonet 22, the spring 23, which is in a state of stored compression, will drive the locking block 26 to descend through the connecting block 25, so that the locking block 26 can be inserted into the inside of the bayonet 22, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the movement and preventing the locking block 26 from moving. This achieves the installation and connection of the water tank body 3. The water tank body 3 will also drive the protrusion 5 to be inserted into the inside of the groove 6, which serves as a preliminary limiting and support purpose.

[0036] When the water tank body 3 needs to be disassembled, the push block 44 can be pushed to move, so that the push block 44 can drive the protrusion 43 to move. At the same time, the protrusion 43 can slide and limit inside the limiting frame 42. At this time, the protrusion 43 will move towards the connecting block 25. When the protrusion 43 is inserted into the inside of the connecting block 25, since the inner side of the connecting block 25 and the inclined surface of the top of the protrusion 43 match, the protrusion 43 will push the connecting block 25 to drive the locking block 26 to move, so that the locking block 26 can be disengaged from the inside of the locking slot 22, thereby achieving the purpose of unlocking, which facilitates further disassembly of the water tank body 3, making it more convenient for operators to use and improving the ease of operation. Pushing mechanisms 4 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the snow melting machine body 1, and locking mechanisms 2 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the water tank body 3. When it is necessary to lock and unlock the water tank body 3, the locking mechanisms 2 and push mechanisms 4 on the front and rear sides of the snow melting machine body 1 and the water tank body 3 need to be operated simultaneously.
