[0002] An ice cream maker is a device used to make soft ice cream and smoothies. Its container is equipped with a compressor for cooling and a stirring unit to cool and stir the ingredients. The container is typically detachable for easy cleaning and disposal of leftover ingredients. During installation, the container needs to be securely locked to prevent leakage. To maintain this seal, buckles are used on both sides. However, these buckles operate independently, requiring both sides to be tightened to ensure sufficient locking force and a proper seal. In daily use, because each buckle is located on different sides, it's easy to miss one side, leading to poor sealing and potential leakage during operation. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a pull-tab sealing structure for an iced beverage machine, including an iced beverage machine body 1, a material container 2 detachably installed on the iced beverage machine body 1, and a pull-tab 3 for locking the material container 2 onto the iced beverage machine body 1. Generally, the material container 2 has a material cavity inside, a dispensing structure 19 on the front side of the material container 2, and an opening communicating with the material cavity on the rear side. The outer peripheral wall of the opening is the edge 20 that abuts against the iced beverage machine body 1. To ensure a sealing effect, a sealing ring is generally provided at the iced beverage machine body 1 opposite to the edge 20, so that the edge 20 can abut against the sealing ring after the material container 2 is installed, thus ensuring a sealing effect. The pull-tab 3 serves to maintain the locking force of the edge 20.

[0026] Specifically, the pull buckle 3 includes a first latch 31, a second latch 32, and a connecting part 33 connecting the first latch 31 and the second latch 32. The first latch 31 and the second latch 32 are respectively located on opposite sides of the beverage machine body 1 and near the edge 20 where the material container 2 meets the beverage machine body 1. The material container 2 has locking structures 21 on both sides that cooperate with the first latch 31 and the second latch 32. The connecting part 33 is used to drive the first latch 31 and the second latch 32 to move synchronously. By having the first latch and the second latch cooperate with the locking structures on both sides of the material container, the material container is locked to the beverage machine body, and the edge where the material container meets the beverage machine body is pressed and sealed. In this solution, the first latch and the second latch on both sides are connected by the connecting part. The first latch and the second latch can be locked and unlocked by simply operating the connecting part, thereby effectively avoiding the occurrence of missing latches, ensuring its locking and sealing performance, and making the operation simpler and more convenient.

[0027] Of course, the locking method is to pull the material bucket 2 towards the body 1 of the ice drink machine. That is, the first lock 31 and the second lock 32 can adopt a flat pulling locking method. After the first lock 31 and the second lock 32 are engaged with the locking structure 21, they are pulled to the rear side - that is, the installation direction of the material bucket, and positioned in the pulled position to ensure the locking force of the material bucket 2 after installation, so as to achieve a good sealing effect.

[0028] In this design, a rotating mechanism is preferred, where the first latch 31 and the second latch 32 are rotatably mounted on the body 1 of the beverage machine, and the connecting part 33 drives the first latch 31 and the second latch 32 to rotate synchronously. This allows the first latch 31 and the second latch 32 to switch between a locked position and an unlocked position after rotation. Furthermore, this rotating mechanism results in a simple structure, convenient operation, and minimal space requirements.

[0029] Specifically, the connecting part 33 is a handle connecting the first latch 31 and the second latch 32, and the handle extends along the circumferential contour of the beverage machine body 1 to both sides of the beverage machine body 1. The handle structure facilitates operation, and the handle of this application has an arc-shaped structure that spans both sides of the beverage machine body 1 and is consistent with the circumferential contour of the beverage machine body 1, so that when locked, the handle can fit the shape of the beverage machine body 1, avoiding an overly abrupt structure and maintaining a uniform appearance.

[0030] In this design, the connecting part 33 is made of a malleable material. Common malleable materials include metallic and non-metallic materials, such as steel, copper, aluminum, plastics, and rubber.

[0031] In this embodiment of the utility model, the first latch 31 and the second latch 32 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the beverage machine body 1, and their structures are identical. This solution is described based on the structure of the first latch 31. Specifically, the first latch 31 includes a rotating part 311 and a connecting arm 312 provided on the rotating part 311. The side of the beverage machine body 1 is provided with a hinge part 10. The rotating part 311 is mounted on the hinge part 10 to rotate relative to the beverage machine body 1. The connecting arm 312 is connected to the connecting part 33. The connecting arm 312 is used to dock with one end of the connecting part 33, so that the connecting part 33 can drive the rotating part 311 to rotate. In this solution, locking mainly relies on the rotating part 311. Since the entire locking and unlocking operation only relies on the rotation of the rotating part 311, it does not need to move additionally, so the operation can be completed without occupying a large space.

[0032] More specifically, in this design, the rotating part 311 is provided with a locking groove 3111. The locking groove 3111 is an arc-shaped groove opened along the rotation direction of the rotating part 311, and one end of the locking groove 3111 is an opening 3112 extending to the radial circumference of the rotating part 311. When the rotating part 311 rotates, it drives the locking groove 3111 to rotate, so that when it rotates to the direction in which the opening 3112 faces the installation of the material bucket 2, it is in the unlocked position. When the locking structure 21 of the material bucket 2 enters the opening 3112, the rotating part 311 rotates again, allowing the locking structure 21 to enter the locking groove 3111. At this time, the opening 3112 is not in the direction of translation of the locking structure 21, thereby locking the locking structure 21 through the locking groove 3111. In this design, when the rotating part 311 is in the locked position, the opening 3112 rotates clockwise to the upper side.

[0033] Correspondingly, the locking structure 21 is a locking pin extending from the surface of the material barrel 2, which can enter the locking groove 3111 through the opening 3112. Its structure is simple and easy to cooperate with the locking groove 3111.

[0034] Furthermore, to further enhance the locking and sealing effect, the locking groove 3111 gradually approaches the guide wall from the opening 3112 towards the center. That is, the guide wall is arranged in an arc-shaped trajectory, and its inner wall satisfies the condition that the radial distance from the opening 3112 to the center of rotation gradually decreases. Since the locking structure 21 is effectively restricted by the guide wall during locking, and the guide wall rotates, its aforementioned characteristics gradually force the locking structure 21 to move further backward, thereby improving the locking and sealing effect.

[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, for ease of operation, a limiting post 100 is provided on one side of the hinge portion 10 on the body 1 of the ice drink machine, and a limiting groove 3113 is provided on the rotating portion 311 for the limiting post 100 to extend into. The limiting groove 3113 is opened along the rotation direction of the rotating portion 311. Through the cooperation of the limiting post 100 and the limiting groove 3113, the rotation amplitude of the rotating portion 311 can be limited. At the same time, it can also be limited to the position where, when one end of the limiting groove 3113 abuts against the limiting post 100, it is in the unlocked position, thereby achieving quick operation.

[0036] This utility model provides a pull-button sealing structure for iced beverage machines. The first and second latches engage with locking structures on both sides of the material container to lock the container onto the machine body, ensuring a tight seal between the container and the machine body. The design uses a connecting part to connect the first and second latches on both sides. Simply operating the connecting part allows the first and second latches to be locked and unlocked, effectively preventing missed latches and ensuring locking and sealing performance. Furthermore, it simplifies and simplifies operation.

These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this utility model, "first" information can also be referred to as "second" information, and similarly, "second" information can also be referred to as "first" information. In addition, the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.
