Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a snow melting machine, specifically a portable snow melting machine with a handle for locking the material bucket. Background Technology

[0002] A slush machine, also known as a slush machine, slush maker, or slush maker, is a functional device that can produce slush-like foods. It is widely used in the production of various refreshing foods. It can directly make slushies or transform various fruit juices into smooth, slush-like beverages. For example, Chinese patents CN118383446 A and CN119563748A disclose a slush machine. The container used to make the slush-like food can be called a mixing tank, which contains a stirring section. The slush machine also has a cooling section that exchanges heat with the water or other materials in the mixing tank. The cooling section is mainly used for cooling and lowering the temperature. The final product is a slush-like food produced through the stirring process of the stirring section.

[0003] As people's living standards gradually improve, snow melting machines are slowly entering households, and more miniaturized snow melting machines have emerged. For example, Chinese patent CN119353841 A discloses a slush machine that can improve ice-making efficiency. It includes a housing with a slush bucket mounting part on the housing. The slush bucket mounting part is equipped with a slush bucket, i.e., a material bucket. A rotating spiral blade holder is installed inside the slush bucket. The rotating spiral blade holder is connected to a drive unit, which drives the rotating spiral blade holder to rotate to form a stirring part. The outer end of the slush bucket forms a slush outlet. The rotating spiral blade holder of the slush bucket includes an inner rotating blade and an outer rotating blade disposed outside the inner rotating blade. An annular evaporator is disposed between the inner and outer rotating blades. The annular evaporator is wrapped around the outer wall of the inner rotating blade. It also includes a pressing handle, which is connected to the side of the slush bucket mounting part by a button. When the pressing handle is folded, its top surface presses against the top surface of the slush bucket to fix the slush bucket.

[0004] During daily use, the following shortcomings of this snow melting machine were found:

[0005] While the handle makes it easy to secure the smoothie bucket, small products like slush machines aren't always kept in one place. Sometimes, it's necessary to move the machine. Because the handle of this type of slush machine presses the bucket downwards and backwards to lock it in place, moving the machine by the handle is very inconvenient, especially when the machine is in use. Moving the handle forward will release the bucket, causing the processed material to leak out. Therefore, a more user-friendly slush machine needs to be developed to address this issue. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a portable snow melting machine with a handle for locking the material bucket. The locking structure of the snow melting machine's material bucket has been improved, and the snow melting machine can be picked up with the handle even when it is in operation, making it more convenient to move and carry.

[0007] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions.

[0008] A portable snow melting machine with a handle for locking the material bucket includes a main body, a material bucket, and a stirring unit. The material bucket is detachably mounted on the main body. The stirring unit is disposed inside the material bucket. The machine also includes a handle, which is inverted U-shaped, with both ends rotatably connected to fixed parts of the main body via rotating parts. The fixed parts are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the material bucket. Locking pins are provided on both side walls of the material bucket. An elongated opening groove matching the height of the locking pin is provided on the fixed part, allowing the locking pin to extend movably into the elongated opening groove. The rotating part includes a rotating body. The rotating body has an arc-shaped locking groove. When the locking pin on the material bucket extends into the elongated opening groove, it can lock its position through the arc-shaped locking groove. The arc-shaped locking groove can rotate along the locking pin. The rotating body and the handle rotate synchronously. When the locking pin is in the middle position of the arc-shaped locking groove, the handle is in a vertical state. When the arc-shaped locking groove rotates to the point where the locking pin is at the bottom of the arc-shaped locking groove, the handle rotates synchronously to the front or rear of the material bucket. When the arc-shaped locking groove rotates to the point where the locking pin separates from the arc-shaped locking groove, the handle rotates synchronously to the rear or front of the material bucket.

[0009] This invention can be designed to lock the material bucket by rotating the handle forward or backward. When installing the material bucket, the handle needs to be rotated to the rear or front of the bucket. At this point, the arc-shaped locking groove will not obstruct the locking pin, allowing the locking pin to extend into the elongated opening slot of the main body's fixing part. Then, by rotating the handle, the locking pin enters the arc-shaped locking groove. When the handle is in a vertical position, the locking pin is located in the middle of the arc-shaped locking groove, completely locking the material bucket and preventing it from moving. When the snow melting machine is working, the handle can be used to pick up the machine and move or carry it to the next location, which is very convenient. Conversely, when the snow melting machine is not working and the material bucket needs to be removed, simply rotate the handle to the rear or front of the bucket to separate the arc-shaped locking groove from the locking pin, releasing the lock and allowing the material bucket to be removed.

[0010] This utility model also has the following preferred designs:

[0011] The rotating body of this invention is provided with a front damping plate and a rear damping plate, and the fixed part is provided with a boss. When the rotating body rotates, the front damping plate and the rear damping plate can contact the boss. When the handle rotates, the front damping plate and the rear damping plate contact the boss, providing rotational resistance and controlling the rotational speed. The front damping plate and the rear damping plate are separately arranged. When the handle rotates and the boss is located between the front damping plate and the rear damping plate, there is no rotational resistance. This is the vertical position of the handle. The addition of the front damping plate and the rear damping plate allows for judgment of whether the rotation is in place by observing changes in rotational resistance. This improves the operating feel of the rotating handle.

[0012] The main body of this invention is provided with a mounting base that matches the bottom shape of the material bucket. The mounting base has slots on both sides, and a support base is provided at the bottom front end of the material bucket. The support base can slide into the slots. The slots and support base provide more stable limiting support for the material bucket.

[0013] The material hopper of this invention has a feeding port on its top wall, and a cap is provided at the feeding port. The feeding port facilitates the addition of raw materials into the hopper. When adding material, if the design involves rotating the handle forward to lock the hopper, the handle can be rotated forward without obstructing the feeding port, while also ensuring the hopper remains locked and preventing leakage. In other designs, if the design involves rotating the handle backward to lock the hopper, the handle can be rotated backward to add raw materials through the feeding port.

[0014] The rotating body of this utility model is provided with a front rotation limit block and a rear rotation limit block. The front rotation limit block, the rear rotation limit block and the boss on the fixed part form a limit on the rotation stroke of the rotating body when the handle is rotated, limiting the maximum rotation angle of the rotating body forward or backward.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. When the handle of this utility model is in a vertical position, the material bucket can be locked. Even when the snow melting machine is in operation, the snow melting machine can be lifted and moved by the handle, making operation more convenient.

[0017] 2. This utility model can be equipped with a front damping plate and a rear damping plate. The change in rotational resistance provided by the damping plate can be used to determine whether the handle has been rotated to the correct position, while also improving the operating feel of the rotating handle.

[0018] 3. This utility model is provided with a front rotation limit block and a rear rotation limit block, which, together with the boss on the fixed part, form a limit on the rotation stroke of the rotating body when the handle rotates, limiting the maximum forward or backward rotation angle of the rotating body and the handle.

[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the technical solution of this utility model.

[0030] Example

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 9A portable snow melting machine with a handle for locking the material bucket includes a main body 1, a material bucket 2, and a stirring unit. The material bucket 2 is detachably mounted on the main body 1. The stirring unit is located inside the material bucket 2. The machine also includes a handle 4, which is inverted U-shaped. Both ends of the handle 4 are rotatably connected to a fixing part 12 of the main body 1 via a rotating part 6. The fixing part 12 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the material bucket 2. Locking posts 5 are provided on both side walls of the material bucket 2. An elongated opening groove 13 matching the height of the locking post 5 is provided on the fixing part 12. The locking post 5 can movably extend into the elongated opening groove 13. The rotating part 6 includes a rotating body 11 with an arc-shaped locking groove 14. When the locking post 5 on the material bucket 2 extends into the elongated opening groove 13, it can be locked in position by the arc-shaped locking groove 14. The arc-shaped locking groove 14 can rotate along the locking post 5. The rotating body 11 rotates synchronously with the handle 4. (See also...) Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the locking pin 5 is in the middle of the arc-shaped locking groove 14, the handle 4 is in a vertical position. When the arc-shaped locking groove 14 rotates forward until the locking pin 5 is at the bottom of the arc-shaped locking groove 14, the handle 4 rotates to the front of the material bucket 2. When the arc-shaped locking groove 14 rotates backward until the locking pin 5 separates from the arc-shaped locking groove 14, the handle 4 rotates to the rear of the material bucket 2.

[0032] In one embodiment, the stirring section includes a cutting spiral 10.

[0033] In one embodiment, the rotating body 11 is provided with a front damping plate 15 and a rear damping plate 16, and the fixed part 12 is provided with a boss 17. When the rotating body 11 rotates, the front damping plate 15 and the rear damping plate 16 can contact the boss 17. When the handle 4 rotates, the front damping plate 15 and the rear damping plate 16 contact the boss 17, which can provide rotational resistance and control the rotation speed. The front damping plate 15 and the rear damping plate 16 are set separately. When the handle 4 rotates and the boss 17 is located between the front damping plate 15 and the rear damping plate 16, there is no rotational resistance. This is the position when the handle 4 is vertical. This utility model adds front damping plates 15 and rear damping plates 16, and the change in rotational resistance can be used to determine whether the handle has rotated to the correct position. This improves the operating feel of rotating the handle.

[0034] In one embodiment, the main housing 1 is provided with a mounting base 7 that matches the bottom shape of the material bucket 2. The mounting base 7 has slots 8 on both sides, and a support base 9 is provided at the bottom front end of the material bucket 2. The support base 9 can slide into the slots 8. The slots 8 and the support base 9 can provide more stable limiting support for the material bucket 2.

[0035] In one embodiment, the top wall of the material bucket 2 is provided with a feeding port, and a plug 3 is provided at the feeding port. The feeding port facilitates the addition of raw materials into the material bucket. When it is necessary to add materials, the handle 4 can be rotated forward. At this time, the handle 4 will not block the feeding port, and at the same time, it can ensure that the material bucket 2 is locked and will not leak materials.

[0036] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 The rotating body 11 is provided with a front rotation limit block 18 and a rear rotation limit block 19. The front rotation limit block 18, the rear rotation limit block 19 and the boss 17 on the fixed part 12 form a limit on the rotation stroke of the rotating body 11 when the handle 4 rotates, limiting the maximum rotation angle of the rotating body 11 forward or backward.

[0037] In some other embodiments, the structure and / or positional relationship of the handle, rotating part, and arc-shaped locking groove can be improved or changed, for example in... Figure 5 Based on this, after the opening direction of the arc-shaped locking groove 14 is reversed, when the arc-shaped locking groove is rotated to the bottom of the arc-shaped locking groove, the handle is simultaneously rotated to the rear of the material bucket. When the arc-shaped locking groove is rotated to the separation of the locking pin and the arc-shaped locking groove, the handle is simultaneously rotated to the front of the material bucket. This is how the structure of locking the material bucket is changed to the rear of the material bucket by rotating the handle.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
