Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In existing technologies, the mixing tank of a smoothie maker lacks a flow-guiding structure, causing smoothie to accumulate at the top of the tank for extended periods. This makes it difficult for users to obtain freshly made smoothie immediately, negatively impacting the user experience. Furthermore, if the smoothie remains adhered to the tank wall for an extended period without timely cleaning, it is prone to spoilage, producing unpleasant odors and even leading to mold growth, thus affecting food safety. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a flow guiding structure and a smoothie machine to address the problem of the lack of a flow guiding structure in smoothie machines.

[0004] A flow guiding structure includes: a mixing box having a mixing chamber; a flow guiding member disposed on the mixing box; a mounting box having the mixing box disposed on the mounting box; and an agitation assembly having one end disposed on the mounting box and the other end disposed opposite to the flow guiding member, the agitation assembly being located in the mixing chamber, and the flow guiding member being used to prevent the accumulation of material driven by the agitation assembly.

[0005] The above-disclosed flow guide structure is used in a smoothie machine. The unique design of the flow guide is the core highlight of the entire structure, effectively solving the problem of smoothie accumulating on top of the mixing chamber during the mixing process in traditional smoothie machines. When the smoothie machine is running, the agitator rotates at high speed. Without the flow guide, the smoothie, affected by centrifugal force and agitation, would accumulate in large quantities on the top of the mixing chamber, leading to uneven mixing and affecting the smoothie quality. The flow guide precisely blocks the material driven by the agitator, changing the smoothie's trajectory and creating an orderly circulating flow within the mixing chamber. This not only prevents smoothie accumulation but also ensures thorough mixing and pulverization within the mixing chamber, greatly improving the smoothness and texture. Simultaneously, the flow guide reduces the additional resistance to the agitator caused by smoothie accumulation on top of the mixing chamber, lowering energy consumption and extending the smoothie's lifespan. Furthermore, preventing smoothie accumulation effectively prevents material residue, facilitating cleaning and maintenance for users and improving the ease of use of the smoothie machine. Overall, thanks to the innovative design of the flow guide components, this flow guide structure optimizes the performance of the smoothie machine in many ways, bringing users a better user experience.

[0006] In one embodiment, the flow guide includes a first flow guide and a second flow guide. The first flow guide is disposed on a first sidewall of the mixing chamber facing the direction in which the agitator propels the material, and the second flow guide is disposed on a second sidewall adjacent to the first sidewall. The coordinated design of the first and second flow guides significantly improves the flow guiding effect of the smoothie machine. The first flow guide, disposed on the first sidewall of the mixing chamber facing the direction in which the agitator propels the material, can directly block and guide the high-speed moving smoothie, changing its direction from directly rushing towards the first sidewall, allowing it to flow in other directions and effectively preventing the smoothie from accumulating at the top of the mixing chamber. The second flow guide, disposed on the second sidewall adjacent to the first sidewall, plays a crucial role in secondary flow guidance. After the smoothie is redirected by the first flow guide, some of it may continue to move along the sidewall. At this time, the second flow guide can readjust the movement trajectory of the smoothie, creating a more complex and comprehensive circulating flow path within the mixing chamber. This dual-guide design allows the smoothie to be thoroughly stirred and pulverized by the stirring components within the mixing chamber, without any blind spots, further improving the uniformity and fineness of the smoothie's mixture.

[0007] In one embodiment, the first guide member extends at an angle from the end away from the second guide member toward the end connected to the second guide member. This angled arrangement of the first guide member has several important advantages. This structure, with the end away from the second guide member extending toward the end connected to it, guides the slush to form a spiral flow path in a specific direction. When the agitator drives the material to impact the first guide member, the inclined surface decomposes the slush flow into horizontal and vertical components, causing the slush not only to flow downwards but also to deflect laterally along the inclined direction. This creates a spiral flow trajectory within the mixing chamber, effectively preventing slush from accumulating above the mixing box, ensuring that the slush can be supplied to the user smoothly and efficiently, and improving user satisfaction.

[0008] In one embodiment, the horizontal height of the end of the first guide member away from the second guide member is greater than the horizontal height of the end where the first guide member connects to the second guide member. This unique design, with one end higher than the other, plays several important roles in the operation of the smoothie machine. First, because the horizontal height of the end of the first guide member away from the second guide member is greater than the connecting end, an inclined guide surface is formed. This allows the upward-impacting smoothie to naturally slide down the inclined guide surface when the agitator drives the smoothie at high speed. Compared to a horizontally positioned guide member, the inclined design is more in line with fluid dynamics principles, more efficiently changing the trajectory of the smoothie and quickly guiding the smoothie that originally accumulated above the mixing chamber to the middle and lower part of the mixing chamber, preventing smoothie accumulation and ensuring continuous circulation of smoothie within the mixing chamber, thereby achieving uniform mixing. Second, this design effectively reduces the collision and adhesion between the smoothie and the side wall of the mixing chamber. As the slush slides down the inclined guide surface, the movement is smoother, reducing energy loss caused by collisions. It also reduces the probability of slush adhering to the side wall of the chamber, saving energy consumption during the production process, reducing the difficulty of cleaning the equipment, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0009] In one embodiment, the second flow guide is arranged along the length of the agitation component. By horizontally arranging the second flow guide along the length of the agitation component, the slush can flow more evenly along the length of the agitation component, guiding the flow of the slush and avoiding unfavorable flow conditions such as turbulence, thus ensuring the effective flow of the slush.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first and second flow guides are integrally formed. By integrally forming the first and second flow guides, the splicing process of components in traditional assembly is reduced, eliminating the need for additional connectors, significantly reducing production complexity, shortening the production cycle, and improving production efficiency. It also reduces the product defect rate caused by assembly errors, facilitating large-scale production. Simultaneously, the integrally formed flow guide eliminates splicing gaps, preventing the accumulation of slush residue in these gaps, reducing cleaning difficulty, and ensuring equipment hygiene. Furthermore, compared to a split structure, the integrally formed flow guide has higher overall structural strength and greater stability. During the high-speed mixing process of the slush machine, it can better withstand the impact of materials and the forces generated by the agitation components, making it less prone to deformation and loosening, effectively extending the service life of the flow guide and ensuring its long-term stable flow guiding function. In addition, the integral design makes the flow guide's appearance simpler and smoother, not only conforming to industrial design aesthetics but also reducing the resistance when slush flows on the surface of the flow guide, making the slush guiding process smoother and more efficient, further optimizing the mixing effect and working performance of the slush machine.

[0011] In one embodiment, the flow guide is integrally formed with the mixing box. By integrally forming the flow guide with the mixing box, gaps and weak points that may occur in traditional splicing methods are avoided. During the operation of the smoothie machine, the impact force generated by the high-speed rotation of the agitator and the repeated impact of the material can easily cause the splice joints to loosen or even break. The integrally formed structure is seamless, which can more evenly distribute stress, significantly improve the overall structural strength and stability, effectively resist external impacts, greatly reduce the frequency of maintenance due to structural damage, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0012] In one embodiment, the agitation assembly includes an agitation tank and an agitation support. One end of the agitation tank is mounted on the mounting housing, and the agitation tank is positioned along the length of the mixing chamber. The agitation support is mounted on the agitation tank and is positioned opposite to the flow guide. By arranging the agitation tank along the length of the mixing chamber, a larger mixing space can be covered. When the agitation tank rotates, it drives the agitation support mounted on it to rotate synchronously, allowing the agitation support to form a wider mixing area within the mixing chamber, ensuring that the slush material is fully agitated throughout the entire length of the mixing chamber. Simultaneously, the agitation support and the flow guide are positioned opposite each other. During agitation, the flow guide prevents the material from moving upwards, while the agitation support continuously applies a downward force to the material, forming an up-and-down circulating flow path. This effectively prevents the slush from accumulating above the mixing housing, promotes thorough mixing of the material within the mixing chamber, and significantly improves the uniformity of the slush texture. Furthermore, the stable mounting of one end of the agitation tank on the mounting housing provides a reliable support foundation for the entire agitation assembly. This single-end fixed cantilever structure design, combined with the agitator being positioned along the length of the mixing chamber, brings the center of gravity of the agitator closer to the mounting box, reducing swaying and vibration during the mixing process and improving the stability of the agitator's operation.

[0013] In one embodiment, the agitator includes a first agitator, a second agitator, and a third agitator. Multiple first agitators are arranged circumferentially along the agitator barrel. Second agitators are spirally arranged along the length of the agitator barrel. The third agitator is located at the end of the agitator barrel furthest from the mounting housing. By evenly distributing multiple first agitators circumferentially along the agitator barrel, multi-dimensional radial agitation force is created. When the agitator rotates, the circumferentially arranged first agitators simultaneously apply shear force to materials in different directions, effectively breaking up larger ice particles and accelerating the refining process of the slush. Simultaneously, the gaps between the first agitators allow material to flow radially, promoting uniform mixing. The spiral arrangement of the second agitator creates a strong material conveying capacity in the axial direction. Like a propeller, the spiral structure generates axial thrust when the agitator barrel rotates, creating a synergistic effect with the obstruction of the guide components, forcing the material to form an up-and-down circulating flow path within the agitator chamber. This axial flow not only prevents material from accumulating at the top but also ensures thorough mixing of the slush at different heights, further enhancing the overall mixing effect. The third agitator support, located at the free end of the agitator tank away from the mounting housing, plays a crucial structural reinforcement role. When the cantilevered agitator tank rotates at high speed, the free end is prone to vibration and deformation due to material resistance, affecting mixing stability. The third agitator support, by increasing the mass distribution and structural rigidity of the free end, effectively suppresses vibration, ensuring the smooth rotation of the agitator assembly throughout its entire length.

[0014] In one embodiment, the mixing chamber includes a main chamber and a feeding component. The main chamber is mounted on the mounting housing, and the feeding component is mounted on the main chamber. The main chamber has a mixing chamber and multiple discharge ports, and the mixing chamber communicates with the multiple discharge ports. By separating the feeding component from the main chamber, raw materials can be added in batches and in quantities, avoiding insufficient mixing caused by adding too much raw material at once. The multiple discharge ports significantly improve the production efficiency and flexibility of the smoothie machine. Multiple discharge ports can produce a large amount of smoothie at once, significantly shortening the time for batch smoothie production and meeting the actual needs of users. The separate design of the main chamber and the feeding component facilitates the disassembly and cleaning of the equipment. As a component that easily comes into contact with raw materials, the feeding component can be disassembled separately for deep cleaning, avoiding the growth of bacteria from raw material residue.

[0015] In one embodiment, the feeding assembly includes a feeding box and a feeding cover. The feeding box is mounted on the main box and / or the mounting box, and one end of the feeding cover is mounted on the main box. The feeding cover can close or open the feeding box, and the feeding box has a feed inlet. By allowing the feeding box to be independently mounted on the main box or the mounting box, the layout of the feeding inlet is more flexible and can adapt to the space requirements of different equipment. One end of the feeding cover is hinged to the main box, enabling it to open or close stably and preventing loosening or misalignment due to frequent operation. This design also makes the opening and closing of the feeding cover smoother, facilitating manual feeding or integration with automated feeding equipment, improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the fit between the feeding cover and the feeding box ensures good sealing, preventing external dust, moisture, or impurities from entering the interior of the main box. The feeding inlet of the feeding box is rationally designed to facilitate the smooth entry of materials.

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

[0017] The second aspect disclosed above discloses a smoothie machine. By setting a flow guide structure on the main body of the smoothie machine, the flow direction of the smoothie can be rationally guided, preventing it from accumulating above the mixing chamber and ensuring that the material is always in the optimal mixing zone. This not only reduces the idling of the blade assembly and improves the uniformity of mixing, but also shortens the smoothie making time and improves overall work efficiency. If the smoothie accumulates above the chamber, it may cause blockage of the discharge port or uneven discharge. The flow guide structure ensures that the smoothie flows smoothly to the discharge port, avoiding material jamming caused by accumulation, resulting in a smoother texture and better taste in the finished smoothie.

[0032] 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.

[0033] 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.

[0034] The flow guiding structure and smoothie machine of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this embodiment discloses a flow guiding structure, including: a mixing box 1, the mixing box 1 having a mixing chamber 101; a flow guiding component 2, the flow guiding component 2 being disposed on the mixing box 1; a mounting box 3, the mixing box 1 being disposed on the mounting box 3; and a stirring assembly 4, one end of the stirring assembly 4 being disposed on the mounting box 3, the other end of the stirring assembly 4 being disposed opposite to the flow guiding component 2, the stirring assembly 4 being located in the mixing chamber 101, and the flow guiding component 2 being used to prevent the material driven by the stirring assembly 4 from accumulating.

[0037] This application discloses a flow guiding structure for a smoothie machine. The unique design of the flow guiding component 2 is the core highlight of the entire structure, effectively solving the problem of smoothie accumulating on top of the mixing chamber 1 during the mixing process in traditional smoothie machines. When the smoothie machine is running, the agitator 4 rotates at high speed. Without the flow guiding component 2, the smoothie, affected by centrifugal force and agitation force, would accumulate in large quantities on top of the mixing chamber 1, leading to uneven mixing and affecting the smoothie quality. The presence of the flow guiding component 2 precisely blocks the material driven by the agitator 4, changing the smoothie's trajectory and allowing it to form an orderly circulating flow within the mixing chamber 101. This not only prevents smoothie accumulation but also ensures thorough mixing and pulverization within the mixing chamber 101, greatly improving the smoothness and texture of the smoothie. Simultaneously, the flow guiding component 2 reduces the additional resistance to the agitator 4 caused by smoothie accumulation on top of the mixing chamber 1, lowering energy consumption and extending the smoothie machine's service life. Furthermore, preventing the accumulation of slush effectively avoids material residue, facilitating cleaning and maintenance for users and improving the ease of use of the slush machine. Overall, this flow guide structure, with its innovative design of the flow guide components, optimizes the working performance of the slush machine in many ways, bringing users a better user experience.

[0038] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the flow guide 2 includes a first flow guide 21 and a second flow guide 22. The first flow guide 21 is disposed on the first side wall of the mixing box 1 facing the direction in which the stirring assembly 4 drives the material forward, and the second flow guide 22 is disposed on the second side wall adjacent to the first side wall. Through the coordinated design of the first flow guide 21 and the second flow guide 22, the flow guiding effect of the slush machine is significantly improved. The first flow guide 21, disposed on the first side wall of the mixing box 1 facing the direction in which the stirring assembly 4 drives the material forward, can directly block and guide the high-speed moving slush at the initial stage, changing the direction of the slush that originally rushed straight towards the first side wall, so that it flows in other directions, effectively preventing the slush from accumulating at the top of the mixing box. The second flow guide 22, disposed on the second side wall adjacent to the first side wall, plays a key role in secondary flow guiding. After the ice slush changes direction via the first guide member 21, some of it may continue to move along the side wall. At this point, the second guide member 22 can readjust the trajectory of the ice slush, creating a more complex and comprehensive circulating flow path within the mixing chamber 101. This dual-guide member design allows the ice slush to be stirred and pulverized by the stirring component 4 in all directions without any blind spots within the mixing chamber 101, further improving the uniformity and fineness of the mixture.

[0039] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the first guide member 21 extends obliquely from the end away from the second guide member 22 toward the end connected to the second guide member 22. The oblique arrangement of the first guide member 21 has several important functions. This structure, which extends obliquely from the end away from the second guide member 22 toward the end connected to the second guide member 22, can guide the slush to form a spiral flow path in a specific direction. When the agitator 4 drives the material to impact the first guide member 21, the oblique surface decomposes the slush flow into horizontal and vertical components, causing the slush not only to flow downwards but also to deflect laterally along the oblique direction, thereby forming a spiral flow trajectory within the mixing chamber 101. This effectively prevents the slush from accumulating above the mixing box 1, ensuring that the slush can be supplied to the user smoothly and efficiently, thus improving user satisfaction.

[0040] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the horizontal height of the end of the first guide member 21 away from the second guide member 22 is greater than the horizontal height of the end where the first guide member 21 and the second guide member 22 are connected. By utilizing the special design of the first guide member 21, which is high at one end and low at the other, it plays a multifaceted and important role in the operation of the smoothie machine. First, because the horizontal height of the end of the first guide member 21 away from the second guide member 22 is greater than the connecting end, an inclined guide surface is formed. This allows the upward-impacting smoothie to naturally slide down the inclined guide surface when the stirring component 4 drives the smoothie to move at high speed. Compared to horizontally arranged guide members, the inclined design is more in line with fluid dynamics principles, and can more efficiently change the trajectory of the smoothie, quickly guiding the smoothie that originally accumulated above the mixing box 1 to the middle and lower part of the mixing chamber 101, avoiding smoothie accumulation, ensuring continuous circulation of smoothie within the mixing chamber 101, thereby achieving uniform stirring. Second, this design can effectively reduce the collision and adhesion between the smoothie and the side wall of the mixing box 1. As the slush slides down the inclined guide surface, the movement is smoother, reducing energy loss caused by collisions. It also reduces the probability of slush adhering to the side wall of the chamber, saving energy consumption during the production process, reducing the difficulty of cleaning the equipment, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0041] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the second flow guide 22 is arranged along the length direction of the stirring component 4. By arranging the second flow guide 22 horizontally along the length direction of the stirring component 4, the slush can flow more evenly along the length direction of the stirring component 4, guiding the flow direction of the slush, avoiding unfavorable flow states such as turbulence, and ensuring the effective flow of the slush.

[0042] like Figure 7As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the first guide component 21 and the second guide component 22 are integrally formed. By integrally forming the first guide component 21 and the second guide component 22, the splicing process of parts in the traditional assembly process is reduced, eliminating the need for additional connecting parts, greatly reducing production complexity, shortening the production cycle, and improving production efficiency. It also reduces the product defect rate caused by assembly errors, which is conducive to achieving large-scale production. At the same time, the integrally formed guide component 2 eliminates splicing gaps, preventing the accumulation of ice slush residue in the gaps, reducing cleaning difficulty, and ensuring equipment hygiene. Furthermore, compared with the split structure, the integrally formed guide component 2 has higher overall structural strength and stronger stability. During the high-speed stirring process of the ice slush machine, it can better withstand the impact of materials and the force generated by the stirring components, and is less prone to deformation, loosening, and other problems, effectively extending the service life of the guide component 2 and ensuring its long-term stable flow guiding function. In addition, the one-piece design makes the flow guide 2 look simpler and smoother, which not only conforms to industrial design aesthetics, but also reduces the resistance when the slush flows on the surface of the flow guide 2, making the flow process of the slush smoother and more efficient, and further optimizing the mixing effect and working performance of the slush machine.

[0043] like Figure 6 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the guide component 2 and the mixing box 1 are integrally formed. By integrally forming the guide component 2 and the mixing box 1, the connection gaps and weak points that may occur in traditional splicing methods are avoided. During the operation of the smoothie machine, the impact force generated by the high-speed rotation of the agitator 4 and the repeated impact of the material can easily cause the splice to loosen or even break. The integrally formed structure is seamless, which can more evenly distribute stress, significantly improve the overall structural strength and stability, effectively resist external impact, greatly reduce the maintenance frequency caused by structural damage, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the stirring assembly 4 includes a stirring tank 41 and a stirring bracket 42. One end of the stirring tank 41 is disposed on the mounting housing 3. The stirring tank 41 is disposed along the length direction of the mixing chamber 101. The stirring bracket 42 is disposed on the stirring tank 41 and is disposed opposite to the guide member 2. By distributing the stirring tank 41 along the length direction of the mixing chamber 101, a larger stirring space can be covered. When the stirring tank 41 rotates, it drives the stirring bracket 42 disposed on it to rotate synchronously, so that the stirring bracket 42 can form a wider stirring area in the mixing chamber 101, ensuring that the slush material is fully stirred throughout the entire length of the mixing chamber 101. Meanwhile, the stirring bracket 42 and the guide member 2 are positioned opposite each other. During the stirring process, the guide member 2 blocks the upward movement of the material, while the stirring bracket 42 continuously applies a downward force to the material, forming an up-and-down circulating flow path. This effectively prevents the slush from accumulating above the mixing box 1, promotes thorough mixing of the material in the mixing chamber 101, and significantly improves the uniformity of the slush texture. Simultaneously, one end of the stirring bucket 41 is securely mounted on the mounting box 3, providing a reliable support foundation for the entire stirring assembly 4. This single-end fixed cantilever structure design, combined with the arrangement of the stirring bucket 41 along the length of the mixing chamber 101, brings the center of gravity of the stirring assembly 4 closer to the mounting box 3, reducing shaking and vibration during the stirring process and improving the stability of the stirring assembly 4's operation.

[0045] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the agitator 42 includes a first agitator 421, a second agitator 422, and a third agitator 423. There are multiple first agitators 421 arranged circumferentially along the agitator 41. The second agitators 422 are spirally arranged along the length of the agitator 41. The third agitator 423 is located at the end of the agitator 41 away from the mounting housing 3. By evenly distributing multiple first agitators 421 circumferentially along the agitator 41, a multi-dimensional radial agitation force is formed. When the agitator assembly 4 rotates, the circumferentially arranged first agitators 421 can simultaneously apply shear force to materials in different directions, effectively breaking up larger ice particles and accelerating the refining process of the slush. Simultaneously, the gaps formed between the first agitators 421 allow materials to flow radially, promoting the uniformity of material mixing. The spiral arrangement of the second agitator 422 creates a strong material conveying capacity in the axial direction. The spiral structure, like a propeller, generates axial thrust when the agitator 41 rotates. This, combined with the obstruction effect of the guide member 2, creates a synergistic effect, forcing the material to form a circulating flow path within the mixing chamber 101. This axial flow not only prevents material accumulation at the top but also ensures thorough mixing at different heights, further enhancing the overall mixing effect. The third agitator support 423 is located at the free end of the agitator 41, away from the mounting housing 3, playing a crucial structural reinforcement role. When the cantilevered agitator 41 rotates at high speed, the free end is prone to vibration and deformation due to material resistance, affecting mixing stability. The third agitator support 43 effectively suppresses vibration by increasing the mass distribution and structural rigidity of the free end, ensuring the smooth rotation of the agitator assembly 4 throughout its entire length.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the mixing box 1 includes a main box 11 and a feeding component 12. The main box 11 is mounted on the mounting box 3, and the feeding component 12 is mounted on the main box 11. The main box 11 has a mixing chamber 101 and multiple discharge ports 102. The mixing chamber 101 is connected to the multiple discharge ports 102. By separating the feeding component 12 from the main box 11, the raw materials can be fed in batches and in quantities, avoiding insufficient mixing caused by feeding too much raw material at once. The design of multiple discharge ports 102 greatly improves the production efficiency and flexibility of the smoothie machine. Multiple discharge ports 102 can produce a large amount of smoothie at once, significantly shortening the time for batch smoothie production and meeting the actual needs of users. The separate design of the main box 11 and the feeding component 12 facilitates the disassembly and cleaning of the equipment. As a component that easily comes into contact with raw materials, the feeding component 12 can be disassembled separately for deep cleaning to avoid the growth of bacteria from raw material residue.

[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the feeding assembly 12 includes a feeding box 121 and a feeding cover 122. The feeding box 121 is disposed on the main box 11 and / or the mounting box 3. One end of the feeding cover 122 is disposed on the main box 11. The feeding cover 122 can close or open the feeding box 121. The feeding box 121 is provided with a feeding port 103. By allowing the feeding box 121 to be independently disposed on the main box 11 or the mounting box 3, the layout of the feeding port is made more flexible and can adapt to the space requirements of different equipment. One end of the feeding cover 122 is hinged to the main box 11, so that it can be opened or closed stably, avoiding loosening or misalignment due to frequent operation. Meanwhile, this design makes the opening and closing of the feeding cover 122 smoother, facilitating manual feeding or integration with automated feeding equipment, thus improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the fit between the feeding cover 122 and the feeding box 121 ensures good sealing, preventing external dust, moisture, or impurities from entering the interior of the main box 11. The feed inlet 103 of the feeding box 121 is rationally designed to facilitate the smooth entry of materials.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this embodiment discloses a smoothie machine, including: the above-mentioned flow guiding structure; and a smoothie machine body, wherein the flow guiding structure is disposed on the smoothie machine body.

[0050] The second aspect of this application discloses a smoothie maker. By incorporating a flow guide structure on the main body of the smoothie maker, the flow direction of the smoothie can be rationally guided, preventing it from accumulating above the mixing chamber 1 and ensuring that the material is always in the optimal mixing zone. This not only reduces the idling of the blade assembly and improves the uniformity of mixing, but also shortens the smoothie making time and improves overall work efficiency. If the smoothie accumulates above the chamber, it may cause blockage of the discharge port 102 or uneven discharge. The flow guide structure ensures that the smoothie flows smoothly to the discharge port 102, avoiding material jamming caused by accumulation, resulting in a finer texture and better taste in the finished smoothie.

[0051] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way.
