Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of collection container technology, and more specifically, to a detachable water collection box. Background Technology

[0002] Frozen beverage maker, also known as semi-frozen beverage maker or crushed ice beverage maker, can transform beverage products from pure liquid (or a combination of liquid and some ice) into frozen or semi-frozen products, such as slushies, slushies, or other frozen or semi-frozen products. These products are then dispensed and transported to a mixing container. During use, due to temperature differences, water droplets will condense on the outer wall of the mixing container. If not cleaned in time, these water droplets will seep into the machine, potentially causing electrical control malfunctions.

[0003] Therefore, in the prior art, a water collection box is provided at the bottom of the mixing container to collect water droplets dripping from the mixing container. This fixes the water collection box to the beverage making machine, making the subsequent disassembly and cleaning process difficult. Alternatively, the mixing container and the water collection box are connected by a drawer with a handle that can be removed, but the water collection box cannot be separated, making the disassembly method inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a detachable water collection box, which addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology where the mixing container and the water collection box are connected by a drawer with a handle that can be removed, making the disassembly method inconvenient.

[0033] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the first embodiment of the frozen beverage making machine of this utility model, the frozen beverage making machine 100 includes at least a main unit 10, a mixing container 20 and a water collection box 30;

[0035] The main unit 10 is equipped with at least a compressor, a condenser, a rotary blade 110, and a handle assembly 120.

[0036] The rotary cutter 110 is disposed within the mixing container 20.

[0037] The two ends of the handle assembly 120 are configured on the left and right sides of the upper end of the main body 10;

[0038] The compressor compresses the refrigerant into high-temperature, high-pressure vapor, which is then cooled into a liquid by the condenser. The liquid then passes through the expansion valve to reduce pressure and enter the evaporator, where it absorbs a large amount of heat and cools down rapidly, thus achieving a cooling effect.

[0039] The electric motor transports the finished ice cubes or slushies to the mixing container 20. The rotating blade 110 inside the mixing container 20 cuts the fruit or beverage in the mixing container 20 into small pieces and mixes them evenly through the stirring shaft, thereby producing cold drinks such as slushies, juices, and milkshakes.

[0040] A mixing container 20 is disposed within a frozen beverage making machine 100. It is a cylinder with a hollow structure 20a and is used to hold ice cubes, smoothies, or finished products to be mixed.

[0041] The water collection box 30 is disposed on the lower end face of the mixing container 20, one end of which is open and forms a collection chamber 30a for collecting condensate.

[0042] exist Figures 3-5 In the first embodiment of the present invention, in which the mixing container 20 and the water collection box 30 are assembled, the water collection box 30 has a collection chamber 30a for receiving liquid, that is, for collecting condensate dripping from the outer wall of the mixing container 20.

[0043] When the frozen beverage maker 100 is in operation, the mixing container 20 has condensation on its outer wall due to the low internal temperature. The condensation at the bottom of the mixing container 20 will fall into the collection chamber 30a of the water collection box 30 below to achieve the liquid collection function. This can effectively prevent the dripping condensation from seeping into the main unit 10, thereby improving the user comfort and the safety of the use of electrical control devices and circuits.

[0044] The water collection box 30 has one side of the collection chamber 30a attached to the bottom side of the mixing container 20, and is detachable.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, multiple opening slots (301, 302) are provided on opposite sides of the left and right ends of the water collection box 30, and the opening slots (301, 302) are symmetrically arranged.

[0046] An opening groove 301 on one outer edge is arranged adjacent to another opening groove 302.

[0047] A set of opposing openings 301 are located near the front end of the water collection box 30.

[0048] Another set of oppositely positioned opening slots 302 are located near the rear end of the water collection box 30;

[0049] Among them, the opening slots (301, 302) are set to "L" shape.

[0050] In some implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, multiple sets of snap-fit ​​components (201, 202), locking members 20b, and limiting members 20c are provided on the outer side of the lower end face of the mixing container 20.

[0051] The buckle components (201, 202) are correspondingly provided with the opening slots (301, 302), and the buckle components (201, 202) are provided to protrude outward.

[0052] The main unit 10 has at least a slot corresponding to the slotting member 20b and a protrusion that abuts against the limiting member 20c.

[0053] When the mixing container 20 is placed into the bearing position of the host 10, the first locking member 20b cooperates with the slot, so that the mixing container 20 can be stably adapted to the host 10. When the mixing container 20 is pushed into a certain position, the limiting member 20c abuts against the protrusion to limit the axial depth of the mixing container 20 that can be placed into the bearing position.

[0054] In some implementations, such as Figure 5 As shown, when assembling the water collection box 30 and the mixing container 20, one end of the water collection box 30 can be axially assembled along the bottom side of the mixing container 20, and the snap-fit ​​components (201, 202) of the mixing container 20 can be embedded into the opening slots (301, 302) of the water collection box 30 respectively.

[0055] When the snap-fit ​​components (201, 202) are inserted into the opening slots (301, 302), the water collection box 30 is then pulled towards the user interface side of the housing 130, so that the snap-fit ​​components (201, 202) are securely fastened in the opening slots (301, 302), allowing the water collection box 30 to be detachably assembled with the mixing container 20. When it is necessary to clean the residual ice or condensate in the water collection box 30, the mixing container 20 is removed, and then the water collection box 30 is pushed along the rear end direction of the mixing container 20, so that the snap-fit ​​components (201, 202) are disengaged from the abutment cavity (301a, 302a) of the opening slots (301, 302) to separate the two, thereby improving the convenience of assembling and disassembling the water collection box 30 and the mixing container 20.

[0056] In some embodiments, symmetrical protrusions may be provided on the outer wall of the water collection box 30, and the protrusions extend outward. A groove corresponding to the protrusions is provided on the outer wall of the mixing container 20. When the water collection box 30 is engaged with the mixing container 20, the protrusions of the water collection box 30 are embedded in the groove of the mixing container 20, and a pushing force is applied to the rear side of the mixing container 20, so that the water collection box 30 is embedded in the mixing container 20, thereby achieving a detachable configuration.

[0057] The water collection box 30 and the mixing container 20 can also be detached by means of a screw connection; the structure of the water collection box 30 and the mixing container 20 being able to be removed together and easily disassembled for cleaning is simple and reasonable, and a removable condensate tray is provided under the container to reduce cleaning problems and increase ease of use.

[0058] In some implementations, such as Figure 7As shown, downward-extending arcs (30d, 30e) are provided on the upper edge of the adjacent sides of the opening slots (301, 302). The arcs (30d, 30e) are adapted to the lower end face of the mixing container 20, that is, the upper and lower end faces of the mixing container 20 are also arc-shaped. When the water collection box 30 is fitted with the mixing container 20, the arcs (30d, 30e) of the water collection box 30 can fit tightly against the outer wall of the bottom of the mixing container 20.

[0059] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 and 4 As shown, a handle assembly 30b is provided at the front end of the water collection box 30.

[0060] A perforated portion 30f is provided between the handle assembly 30b and the collection chamber 30a. The perforated portion 30f is designed to accommodate multiple fingers. Users can apply pulling or pushing force through the perforated portion 30f to ensure that the water collection box 30 and the mixing container 20 are engaged and disengaged.

[0061] In some implementations, such as Figure 7 As shown, the handle assembly 30b, the surface facing the mixing container 20, and three other sidewalls define a collection cavity 30a to reliably collect condensate dripping from the mixing container 20.

[0062] The water collection box 30 can be made of safe materials such as PPSU, PC, PP or PES.

[0063] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, the surface of the handle assembly 30b facing the user is configured to be flush with the user interface of the housing 130 when the collection chamber 30a is fully engaged with the mixing container 20.

[0064] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims. All of these forms are within the protection scope of the present invention.
