Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In existing technology, the locking structure of a smoothie maker is not secure to the storage hopper. Therefore, during the smoothie's operation, especially when vibrations occur during stirring, the storage hopper may shift, tilt, or even detach, causing leakage of internal ingredients and liquids. This not only wastes ingredients but may also flow onto components such as the smoothie maker's motor, causing short circuits and other safety issues, and could even pose a danger of electric shock to the user. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a locking structure and a smoothie machine to address the problem of instability of the storage bin caused by the locking structure of the smoothie machine.

[0004] A locking structure includes: a handle assembly having a first mounting groove, a second mounting groove, and a third mounting groove; a locking housing having a receiving hole, the handle assembly being disposed on the locking housing and located at the receiving hole, a portion of the locking housing being located at the first mounting groove, and the handle assembly having at least a first position and a second position relative to the locking housing; a locking assembly being disposed on the handle assembly and located at the second mounting groove and the third mounting groove, the handle assembly being capable of driving the locking assembly to rotate; and a storage bin abutting against the locking assembly, wherein when the handle assembly is in the first position, the storage bin is locked, and when the handle assembly is in the second position, the storage bin is released.

[0005] The above-disclosed locking structure, firstly, due to the synergistic effect of the first mounting groove and the receiving hole, not only is the connection between the handle assembly and the locking housing more secure, but it also provides conditions for the flexible movement of the handle assembly. This design greatly enhances the stability of the mechanical structure, ensuring smooth and unobstructed switching of the handle assembly between the first and second positions. Simultaneously, the structure of the locking housing allows the handle assembly to be stably fixed in both the first and second positions, preventing displacement due to loosening and significantly extending the service life of the entire locking structure. Secondly, users can easily lock and unlock the storage bin with simple operation of the handle assembly. When the handle assembly is in the first position, the locking hook of the locking component tightly abuts against the storage bin, achieving a secure locking effect. This position effectively prevents the storage bin from accidentally loosening during equipment operation or handling, eliminating the risk of internal leakage and greatly improving safety. When the storage bin needs to be removed, simply switch the handle assembly to the second position. The locking assembly will then rotate, with the other end of the locking assembly abutting against the storage bin, limiting excessive rotation of the handle assembly and releasing the storage bin from its lock. This simple and convenient operation allows both frequent users (professionals) and first-time users to quickly master the process, significantly improving work efficiency. Furthermore, both the first and second unlocked positions provide clear position indicators and reliable locking functionality. This clear operational logic allows users to accurately determine the storage bin's status, further ensuring safety during use. Finally, the close cooperation between all components results in a compact and rationally designed locking structure.

[0006] In one embodiment, the locking assembly includes a locking shaft assembly and locking element bodies. The locking shaft assembly is on the handle assembly and located at the third mounting slot. Multiple locking element bodies are disposed on both sides of the locking shaft assembly and are adapted to fit the locking shaft assembly. One locking element body is disposed on the handle assembly and located at the second mounting slot. The multiple locking element bodies can abut against the storage bin. By precisely positioning the locking shaft assembly at the third mounting slot of the handle assembly, the two fit tightly together, forming a stable connection. This ensures that every movement of the handle assembly is transmitted to the locking assembly in a timely and accurate manner, achieving efficient linkage. Two locking element bodies are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the locking shaft assembly and perfectly adapted to fit the locking shaft assembly. This layout greatly enhances the stability of the locking. When both locking element bodies abut against the storage bin, pressure is applied to the storage bin in an all-round and uniform manner, avoiding loosening or displacement caused by uneven force, thereby achieving reliable locking of the storage bin. One of the locking components is located in the second mounting slot of the handle assembly, further optimizing the compactness and coordination of the overall structure. When the user operates the handle assembly, the locking shaft assembly drives multiple locking components to move synchronously, achieving rapid and reliable locking and unlocking of the storage bin. The entire operation process is simple and direct, effectively improving the efficiency of equipment use, reducing the risk of operational errors, providing strong protection for the safe and stable operation of the equipment, and comprehensively improving the performance of the locking structure.

[0007] In one embodiment, the locking component body includes a locking side block and a locking hook. The locking side block is disposed on the handle assembly and located at the second mounting slot. The locking hook is disposed on the locking side block and abuts against the storage bin. By placing the locking side block at the second mounting slot of the handle assembly, the installation is secure, ensuring that the entire locking component body is tightly connected to the handle assembly, allowing the operation of the handle to be accurately transmitted to the locking component body. The locking hook is disposed on the locking side block, and its design of abutting against the storage bin is ingenious. When the handle assembly drives the locking component body to move, the locking hook can quickly and accurately engage with the storage bin, providing a strong locking force using its special shape and angle. This design not only effectively prevents the storage bin from accidentally opening during equipment operation, but also provides flexible operation. Users can easily lock and unlock the storage bin by simply operating the handle, greatly improving the convenience and safety of equipment use and comprehensively enhancing the performance of the locking structure.

[0008] In one embodiment, the locking hook includes a rotating body and a hook body. The rotating body is disposed on the locking side block, and the hook body is disposed on the rotating body. When the handle assembly is in the first position, the hook body abuts against the storage bin, locking the storage bin. When the handle assembly is in the second position, the rotating body abuts against the storage bin, releasing the storage bin. The rotating body and the hook body are integrally formed. By disposing the rotating body on the locking side block, a flexible rotational basis is provided for the hook body, enabling precise movement of the hook body in interaction with the storage bin. When the handle assembly is in the first position, the hook body quickly abuts against the storage bin. Thanks to its carefully designed shape, it fits tightly against the surface of the storage bin, providing a strong and uniform locking force, effectively preventing the storage bin from loosening or shifting during equipment operation, ensuring the storage bin remains in a stable locked state. When the handle assembly is switched to the second position, the rotating body drives the hook body to rotate. At this time, the rotating body abuts against the storage bin, which prevents the handle assembly from rotating excessively and also informs the user that it has been rotated to the correct position, and the storage bin is now released. This process is smooth, and the user only needs to operate the handle to quickly unlock the storage bin, greatly improving the convenience of operation. The integrated design of the rotating body and hook body not only enhances the stability of the structure and reduces the risk of loosening caused by the connection of parts, but also improves the overall durability. In long-term use, this integrated structure can withstand frequent movements without easily being damaged, reducing maintenance costs and replacement frequency, providing a reliable guarantee for the stable operation of the equipment, and comprehensively improving the practicality and reliability of the locking structure.

[0009] In one embodiment, the locking shaft assembly includes a mounting shaft and a connecting shaft. Multiple mounting shafts are located at both ends of the connecting shaft and are threaded one-to-one through multiple locking member bodies. One mounting shaft is positioned on the handle assembly and located at the third mounting groove. The mounting shaft and the connecting shaft are integrally formed. By positioning two mounting shafts at both ends of the connecting shaft, this arrangement makes the connection between the locking shaft assembly and the two locking member bodies more stable and uniform. The one-to-one threading of the two mounting shafts into the two locking member bodies simplifies and facilitates installation, enabling quick and accurate positioning and significantly improving assembly efficiency. The integral formation of the mounting shaft and the connecting shaft significantly enhances structural strength and avoids the risk of loosening due to component connections. The placement of one mounting shaft at the third mounting groove of the handle assembly tightly connects the two, ensuring that the movement of the handle assembly is transmitted to the locking shaft assembly without loss. When the handle assembly is operated, the mounting shaft drives the connecting shaft to rotate synchronously, causing the two locking components to respond quickly, enabling rapid locking and unlocking of the storage bin. The components work together smoothly and efficiently. This structural design comprehensively enhances the stability and reliability of the locking structure, effectively extending the equipment's service life, reducing maintenance costs, laying a solid foundation for the long-term stable operation of the equipment, and comprehensively improving the user experience, allowing it to perform excellently in various application scenarios.

[0010] In one embodiment, the locking housing includes a connecting housing, a mating column, a first locking member, and a second locking member. The connecting housing is disposed on the external structure, the mating column is disposed on the connecting housing, and the mating column is disposed on the first mounting groove. Both the first and second locking members are disposed on the connecting housing. The handle assembly has a limiting member. When the limiting member abuts against the first locking member, the handle assembly is in the first position, and the storage bin is locked. When the limiting member abuts against the second locking member, the handle assembly is in the second position, and the storage bin is released. By placing the connecting housing on the external structure, a stable bridge is built between the entire locking structure and the external equipment, ensuring reliable installation of the locking structure in the equipment and enhancing overall stability. The mating column is disposed on the connecting housing and mates with the first mounting groove, further strengthening the connection between the locking housing and the handle assembly, making their coordinated operation smoother and reducing deviations during relative movement. The first and second locking members are disposed on the connecting housing and precisely mate with the limiting members of the handle assembly. When the limiting component abuts against the first locking component, the limiting component is held in place by the elastic force of the first locking component. At this point, the handle assembly is in the first position, and the storage bin is locked. This precise locking ensures the stability of the storage bin during operation, preventing safety hazards caused by accidental loosening. When the limiting component abuts against the second locking component, the limiting component is held in place by the elastic force of the second locking component, and the handle assembly is in the second position, releasing the storage bin. The operation is simple and the positioning is accurate. This design not only improves the accuracy of operation but also provides users with clear operational feedback, greatly enhancing the convenience and safety of use, and allowing the entire locking structure to perform its function more effectively.

[0011] In one embodiment,

[0012] In one embodiment, the handle assembly includes a handle body and a rotating body. The rotating body is disposed on the locking housing, the handle body is disposed on the rotating body, and the locking assembly is disposed on the rotating body. The rotating body has a first mounting slot, a second mounting slot, and a third mounting slot. The combination of the handle body and the rotating body makes operation more flexible. Users can easily rotate the rotating body by manipulating the handle body, thereby controlling the locking assembly. This simple operation conforms to ergonomic principles and greatly improves the user experience. The rotating body's placement on the locking housing ensures the stability of the connection between the handle assembly and the housing, effectively preventing loosening due to shaking or vibration during equipment operation. Simultaneously, the locking assembly's placement on the rotating body makes the entire locking structure layout more compact and rational. When the rotating body rotates, the locking assembly can precisely and quickly control the locking or unlocking of the storage bin, achieving fast and reliable locking and unlocking. In addition, the first, second, and third mounting slots are set on the rotating body, which facilitates the installation and positioning of each component, reduces errors during the installation process, improves production efficiency, and provides convenience for subsequent maintenance and repair.

[0013] In one embodiment, the rotating body includes a rotating outer shell, a mounting block, a limiting member, and a driving member. The mounting block is disposed on the locking housing, the rotating outer shell is disposed on the mounting block, and the limiting member is disposed on the rotating outer shell. The limiting member has a first position and a second position relative to the locking housing. The driving member is disposed on the mounting block, and the locking assembly is disposed on the driving member. The mounting block has a first mounting groove, and the driving member has a second mounting groove and a third mounting groove. By placing the mounting block on the locking housing, a stable support foundation is provided for the entire rotating body, ensuring that the rotating body will not shift during operation and greatly enhancing the stability of the connection between the handle assembly and the locking housing. The rotating outer shell, disposed on the mounting block, not only protects the internal structure but also makes the overall appearance more regular. The limiting member, disposed on the rotating outer shell and having a first position and a second position, can precisely limit the rotation range of the rotating body. Utilizing the elasticity of the locking housing, the limiting member is stably fixed in the first and second positions, ensuring the locking or unlocking of the storage bin. The drive component is mounted on the mounting block and connected to the locking assembly, making power transmission more direct and efficient. When the handle body drives the rotating body to rotate, the drive component responds quickly, causing the locking assembly to accurately control the material storage bin to abut or dismount. Furthermore, the mounting block and drive component each have corresponding mounting slots, further optimizing the installation layout of each component, making the installation process more convenient, positioning more precise, reducing installation errors, and providing great convenience for subsequent production, maintenance, and repair work.

[0014] In one embodiment, the storage hopper includes a hopper body and multiple storage hopper fixing components. These multiple storage hopper fixing components are disposed on the storage hopper body and can abut against the locking assembly. By setting two storage hopper fixing components on the storage hopper body and correspondingly engaging two locking component bodies, the two storage hopper fixing components have a clear positional distribution on the storage hopper body. This makes the installation of the storage hopper and locking assembly efficient and simple, allowing installers to quickly locate the correct positions and complete the assembly, greatly improving production efficiency. When in the locked state, the two locking component bodies abut tightly against their corresponding storage hopper fixing components. This one-to-one precise engagement ensures that the locking force is evenly and accurately transmitted to the storage hopper body, effectively preventing structural damage caused by uneven force distribution. During equipment operation or handling, even under external vibration or accidental impact, the two locking components and the corresponding storage bin fixing components work together to effectively prevent the storage bin from accidentally loosening, ensuring that the storage bin remains firmly in place and greatly enhancing the stability of the locking mechanism. This corresponding and coordinated design further strengthens the connection between the storage bin and other parts of the equipment, optimizes the coordinated operation between various parts of the equipment, improves the overall integrity and reliability of the equipment, and provides users with a better and more stable user experience.

[0015] In one embodiment, the number of locking structures is multiple. By setting two locking structures, the practicality of the smoothie maker can be increased, improving the user experience for both commercial and home use. On the one hand, two different flavors of smoothies can be made without frequently cleaning a single storage compartment and changing ingredients. On the other hand, two storage compartments can shorten the waiting time required to make smoothies, increasing user satisfaction.

[0016] The second aspect of this application discloses a smoothie maker, which includes: the locking structure described above; and a smoothie maker body, wherein the locking structure is disposed on the smoothie maker body.

[0017] The second aspect disclosed above discloses a smoothie maker. By incorporating a locking structure onto the smoothie maker body, during operation, the stirring components rotate at high speed, rapidly stirring the ingredients in the storage bin. The locking component, through a stable connection with the storage bin, firmly secures the storage bin in a designated position. This effectively resists vibrations and forces generated by stirring, preventing displacement of the storage bin, enhancing the stability of the smoothie maker during operation, reducing potential malfunctions caused by bin movement, and thus extending the equipment's lifespan. Furthermore, users do not need to search for complex fixing devices inside the smoothie maker; locking and unlocking the storage bin can be easily accomplished through the handle assembly of the locking structure. The operation is simple and direct, allowing even first-time users to quickly master the process and smoothly complete preparations before and after smoothie making, providing a superior user experience.

[0036] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. 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 locking structure and smoothie machine of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] like Figures 1 to 13As shown, this embodiment discloses a locking structure, including: a handle assembly 1, which has a first mounting groove 101, a second mounting groove 102, and a third mounting groove 103; a locking housing 2, which has a receiving hole 201, the handle assembly 1 is disposed on the locking housing 2 and located at the receiving hole 201, a portion of the locking housing 2 is located at the first mounting groove 101, and the handle assembly 1 has at least a first position and a second position relative to the locking housing 2; a locking assembly 3, which is disposed on the handle assembly 1 and located at the second mounting groove 102 and the third mounting groove 103, and the handle assembly 1 can drive the locking assembly 3 to rotate; and a storage bin 4, which abuts against the locking assembly 3. When the handle assembly 1 is in the first position, the storage bin 4 is locked, and when the handle assembly 1 is in the second position, the storage bin 4 is released.

[0041] This application discloses a locking structure. First, due to the synergistic effect of the first mounting groove 101 and the receiving hole 201, the connection between the handle assembly 1 and the locking housing 2 is not only more stable, but also provides conditions for the flexible movement of the handle assembly 1. This design greatly enhances the stability of the mechanical structure, ensuring smooth and unobstructed switching of the handle assembly 1 between the first and second positions. Simultaneously, the structure of the locking housing 2 allows the handle assembly 1 to be stably fixed in both the first and second positions, preventing displacement due to loosening and significantly extending the service life of the entire locking structure. Second, the user can easily lock and unlock the storage bin 4 by simply operating the handle assembly 1. When the handle assembly 1 is in the first position, the locking hook of the locking component 3 tightly abuts against the storage bin 4, achieving a secure locking effect. This position effectively prevents the storage bin 4 from accidentally loosening during equipment operation or handling, eliminating the risk of internal leakage and greatly improving safety. When it is necessary to remove the storage bin 4, simply switch the handle assembly 1 to the second position. The locking assembly 3 will then rotate, and the other end of the locking assembly 3 will abut against the storage bin 4, limiting excessive rotation of the handle assembly 1 and releasing the lock on the storage bin 4. The operation is simple and convenient, allowing both frequent operation by professionals and first-time users to quickly master it, greatly improving work efficiency. Furthermore, both the locked state in the first position and the unlocked state in the second position have clear position indicators and reliable locking functions. This clear operating logic allows users to accurately judge the status of the storage bin, further ensuring safety during use. Finally, the close cooperation between all components makes the entire locking structure compact and rationally laid out.

[0042] like Figure 6 and Figure 12As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the locking assembly 3 includes a locking shaft assembly 31 and a locking element body 32. The locking shaft assembly 31 is on the handle assembly 1 and located at the third mounting groove 103. There are multiple locking element bodies 32, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the locking shaft assembly 31 and adapted to be installed with the locking shaft assembly 31. One locking element body 32 is disposed on the handle assembly 1 and located at the second mounting groove 102. The multiple locking element bodies 32 can abut against the storage bin 4. By precisely setting the locking shaft assembly 31 at the third mounting groove 103 of the handle assembly 1, the two fit tightly together, forming a stable connection, ensuring that every movement of the handle assembly 1 can be transmitted to the locking assembly 3 in a timely and accurate manner, achieving efficient linkage. The two locking element bodies 32 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the locking shaft assembly 31 and perfectly adapted to be installed with the locking shaft assembly 31. This layout greatly enhances the stability of the locking mechanism. When both locking bodies 32 abut against the storage bin 4, they apply pressure evenly and comprehensively to the storage bin 4, preventing loosening or displacement due to uneven force, thus achieving reliable locking of the storage bin. One of the locking bodies 32 is located at the second mounting slot 102 of the handle assembly 1, further optimizing the compactness and coordination of the overall structure. When the user operates the handle assembly 1, the locking shaft assembly 31 drives multiple locking bodies 32 to move synchronously, achieving rapid and reliable locking and unlocking of the storage bin 4. The entire operation process is simple and direct, effectively improving the efficiency of equipment use, reducing the risk of operational errors, providing strong protection for the safe and stable operation of the equipment, and comprehensively improving the performance of the locking structure.

[0043] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the locking body 32 includes a locking side block 321 and a locking hook 322. The locking side block 321 is disposed on the handle assembly 1 and located at the second mounting groove 102. The locking hook 322 is disposed on the locking side block 321 and abuts against the storage bin 4. By disposing the locking side block 321 at the second mounting groove 102 of the handle assembly 1, the installation is secure, ensuring that the entire locking body 32 is tightly connected to the handle assembly 1, so that the operation of the handle can be accurately transmitted to the locking body 32. The locking hook 322 is disposed on the locking side block 321, and its design of abutting against the storage bin 4 is ingenious. When the handle assembly 1 drives the locking body 32 to move, the locking hook 322 can quickly and accurately engage with the storage bin 4, providing a strong locking force by utilizing its special shape and angle. This design not only effectively prevents the storage bin 4 from opening accidentally during equipment operation, but also allows for flexible operation. Users can easily lock and unlock the storage bin 4 by simply operating the handle, greatly improving the convenience and safety of equipment use and comprehensively enhancing the performance of the locking structure.

[0044] like Figure 2 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the locking hook 322 includes a rotating body 3221 and a hook body 3222. The rotating body 3221 is disposed on the locking side block 321, and the hook body 3222 is disposed on the rotating body 3221. When the handle assembly 1 is in the first position, the hook body 3222 abuts against the storage bin 4, and the storage bin 4 is locked. When the handle assembly 1 is in the second position, the rotating body 3221 abuts against the storage bin 4, and the storage bin 4 is released. The rotating body 3221 and the hook body 3222 are integrally formed. By disposing the rotating body 3221 on the locking side block 321, a flexible rotation basis is provided for the hook body 3222, enabling the hook body 3222 to move precisely during interaction with the storage bin 4. When the handle assembly 1 is in the first position, the hook body 3222 quickly abuts against the storage bin 4. Thanks to its carefully designed shape, it fits tightly against the surface of the storage bin 4, providing a strong and uniform locking force. This effectively prevents the storage bin 4 from loosening or shifting during operation, ensuring the storage bin 4 remains firmly locked. When the handle assembly 1 is switched to the second position, the rotating body 3221 drives the hook body 3222 to rotate. At this time, the rotating body 3221 abuts against the storage bin 4, preventing the handle assembly 1 from over-rotating and indicating to the user that it has been rotated to the correct position, and the storage bin 4 is now released. This process is smooth; the user only needs to operate the handle to quickly unlock the storage bin 4, greatly improving operational convenience. The integrated design of the rotating body 3221 and the hook body 3222 not only enhances structural stability and reduces the risk of loosening due to component connections but also improves overall durability. During long-term use, this integrated structure can withstand frequent movements without easily being damaged, reducing maintenance costs and replacement frequency, providing a reliable guarantee for the stable operation of the equipment, and comprehensively improving the practicality and reliability of the locking structure.

[0045] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 12As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the locking shaft assembly 31 includes a mounting shaft 311 and a connecting shaft 312. There are multiple mounting shafts 311, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the connecting shaft 312. Each mounting shaft 311 is correspondingly inserted into a plurality of locking member bodies 32. One mounting shaft 311 is disposed on the handle assembly 1 and located at the third mounting groove 103. The mounting shaft 311 and the connecting shaft 312 are integrally formed. By distributing two mounting shafts 311 at both ends of the connecting shaft 312, this layout makes the connection between the locking shaft assembly 31 and the two locking member bodies 32 more stable and uniform. The one-to-one insertion of the two mounting shafts 311 into the two locking member bodies 32 simplifies and facilitates installation, enabling rapid and accurate positioning and greatly improving assembly efficiency. The integral formation of the mounting shaft 311 and the connecting shaft 312 significantly enhances structural strength and avoids the risk of loosening due to component connections. One of the mounting shafts 311 is located at the third mounting slot 103 of the handle assembly 1, tightly connecting the two to ensure that the movement of the handle assembly 1 can be transmitted to the locking shaft assembly 31 without loss. When the handle assembly 1 is operated, the mounting shaft 311 drives the connecting shaft 312 to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the two locking body bodies 32 to respond quickly, realizing the rapid locking and unlocking of the storage bin 4. The components work together smoothly and efficiently. This structural design comprehensively enhances the stability and reliability of the locking structure, effectively extends the service life of the equipment, reduces maintenance costs, lays a solid foundation for the long-term stable operation of the equipment, and comprehensively improves the user experience of the equipment, enabling it to perform excellently in various application scenarios.

[0046] like Figure 2 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the locking housing 2 includes a connecting housing 21, a mating column 22, a first locking member 23, and a second locking member 24. The connecting housing 21 is disposed on the external structure, the mating column 22 is disposed on the connecting housing 21, and the mating column 22 is disposed on the first mounting groove 101. The first locking member 23 and the second locking member 24 are both disposed on the connecting housing 21. The handle assembly 1 is provided with a limiting member 123. When the limiting member 123 abuts against the first locking member 23, the handle assembly 1 is in the first position, and the storage bin 4 is locked. When the limiting member 123 abuts against the second locking member 24, the handle assembly 1 is in the second position, and the storage bin 4 is released. By disposing of the connecting housing 21 on the external structure, a stable bridge is built between the entire locking structure and the external equipment, ensuring the reliable installation of the locking structure in the equipment and enhancing the overall stability. The column 22 is mounted on the connecting housing 21 and engages with the first mounting groove 101, further strengthening the connection between the locking housing 2 and the handle assembly 1, making their coordinated operation smoother and reducing deviations during relative movement. The first locking member 23 and the second locking member 24 are mounted on the connecting housing 21 and precisely engage with the limiting member 123 of the handle assembly 1. When the limiting member 123 abuts against the first locking member 23, the limiting member 123 is held in place by the elastic force of the first locking member 23, and the handle assembly 1 is in the first position, locking the storage bin 4. This precise locking ensures the stability of the storage bin 4 during operation, avoiding safety hazards caused by accidental loosening. When the limiting member 123 abuts against the second locking member 24, the limiting member 123 is held in place by the elastic force of the second locking member 24, and the handle assembly 1 is in the second position, releasing the storage bin 4. This operation is simple and the positioning is accurate. This design not only improves the accuracy of operation but also provides users with clear operational feedback, greatly enhancing the convenience and security of use and allowing the entire locking structure to perform its function more effectively.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the handle assembly 1 includes a handle body 11 and a rotating body 12. The rotating body 12 is disposed on the locking housing 2, the handle body 11 is disposed on the rotating body 12, and the locking assembly 3 is disposed on the rotating body 12. The rotating body 12 is provided with a first mounting groove 101, a second mounting groove 102, and a third mounting groove 103. By combining the handle body 11 and the rotating body 12, the operation becomes more flexible. The user can easily drive the rotating body 12 to rotate by manipulating the handle body 11, thereby controlling the locking assembly 3. The operation is simple, conforms to ergonomic principles, and greatly improves the user experience. The rotating body 12 is disposed on the locking housing 2, ensuring the stability of the connection between the handle assembly 1 and the locking housing 2, and effectively preventing loosening of the connection due to shaking or vibration during equipment operation. At the same time, the locking assembly 3 is disposed on the rotating body 12, making the entire locking structure layout more compact and reasonable. When the rotating body 12 rotates, the locking assembly 3 can precisely and quickly control the locking or unlocking of the storage bin 4, achieving fast and reliable locking and unlocking. In addition, the first mounting slot 101, the second mounting slot 102 and the third mounting slot 103 are set on the rotating body 12, which facilitates the installation and positioning of each component, reduces errors in the installation process, improves production efficiency, and also provides convenience for subsequent maintenance and repair.

[0048] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the rotating body 12 includes a rotating outer shell 121, a mounting block 122, a limiting member 123, and a driving member 124. The mounting block 122 is disposed on the locking housing 2, the rotating outer shell 121 is disposed on the mounting block 122, the limiting member 123 is disposed on the rotating outer shell 121, and the limiting member 123 has a first position and a second position relative to the locking housing 2. The driving member 124 is disposed on the mounting block 122, and the locking assembly 3 is disposed on the driving member 124. The mounting block 122 is provided with a first mounting groove 101, and the driving member 124 is provided with a second mounting groove 102 and a third mounting groove 103. By disposing of the mounting block 122 on the locking housing 2, a stable support foundation is provided for the entire rotating body 12, ensuring that the rotating body 12 will not shift during operation, and greatly enhancing the stability of the connection between the handle assembly 1 and the locking housing 2. The rotating outer shell 121 disposed on the mounting block 122 not only protects the internal structure but also makes the overall appearance more regular. The limiting component 123 is mounted on the rotating housing 121 and has a first position and a second position. This design can precisely limit the rotation range of the rotating body 12. Utilizing the elastic force of the locking housing 2, the limiting component 123 is stably fixed in the first and second positions, ensuring the locking or unlocking of the storage bin 4. The driving component 124 is mounted on the mounting block 122 and connected to the locking assembly 3, making power transmission more direct and efficient. When the handle body 11 drives the rotating body 12 to rotate, the driving component 124 can respond quickly, driving the locking assembly 3 to accurately control the storage bin 4 to abut or separate. Moreover, the mounting block 122 and the driving component 124 are respectively provided with corresponding mounting slots, further optimizing the installation layout of each component, making the installation process more convenient, the positioning more accurate, reducing installation errors, and providing great convenience for subsequent production, maintenance, and repair work.

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the storage bin 4 includes a storage bin body 41 and storage bin fixing members 42. There are multiple storage bin fixing members 42, which are disposed on the storage bin body 41 and can abut against the locking assembly 3. By setting two storage bin fixing members 42 on the storage bin body 41 and correspondingly cooperating with two locking member bodies 32, the two storage bin fixing members 42 have a clear positional distribution on the storage bin body 41. This makes the installation of the storage bin 4 and the locking assembly 3 efficient and simple, allowing installers to quickly locate the correct position and complete the assembly, greatly improving production efficiency. When in the locked state, the two locking member bodies 32 tightly abut against their corresponding storage bin fixing members 42. This one-to-one precise cooperation can evenly and accurately transmit the locking force to the storage bin body 41, effectively avoiding structural damage caused by uneven force distribution. During equipment operation or handling, even under external vibration or accidental impact, the two locking bodies 32 and the corresponding storage bin fixing parts 42 work together to effectively prevent the storage bin 4 from accidentally loosening, ensuring that the storage bin 4 remains firmly in place and greatly enhancing the stability of the locking mechanism. This corresponding and coordinated design further strengthens the connection between the storage bin and other parts of the equipment, optimizes the coordinated operation between various parts of the equipment, improves the overall integrity and reliability of the equipment, and brings users a better and more stable user experience.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the number of locking structures is multiple. By setting two locking structures, the practicality of the smoothie maker can be increased, which can improve the user experience for both commercial and home use. On the one hand, two different flavors of smoothies can be made without frequently cleaning a single storage compartment and changing the ingredients. On the other hand, two storage compartments 4 can shorten the waiting time required to make smoothies and improve user satisfaction.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, this embodiment discloses a smoothie maker, including: the locking structure described above; and a smoothie maker body, wherein the locking structure is disposed on the smoothie maker body.

[0053] The second aspect of this application discloses a smoothie maker. By incorporating a locking structure on the smoothie maker body, during operation, the stirring component rotates at high speed, rapidly stirring the ingredients in the storage bin 4. The locking component 3, through a stable connection with the storage bin 4, firmly fixes the storage bin 4 in a designated position. This effectively resists the vibration and force generated by stirring in the storage bin 4, preventing displacement and enhancing the stability of the smoothie maker during operation. It also reduces potential malfunctions caused by storage bin shaking, thereby extending the equipment's service life. Furthermore, users do not need to search for complex fixing devices inside the smoothie maker; the locking and unlocking of the storage bin 4 can be easily accomplished through the handle component 1 of the locking structure. The operation is simple and direct, allowing even first-time users to quickly master the process and smoothly complete the preparation work before smoothie making and the cleaning work afterward, providing a good user experience.

[0054] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0055] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
