[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0030] Reference Figure 1-7 As an embodiment of this utility model, a dual-switch start structure for a milkshake machine is disclosed. Specifically, the dual-switch start structure includes a body 1 and a cup-hanging assembly 2 installed on the front end of the body 1. Of course, the body 1 also has components such as a control mechanism and a stirring mechanism. Its specific structure has been disclosed in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0031] In detail, the cup-hanging assembly 2 in this embodiment includes a housing 21 and a cup-hanging plate 22 fixed to the front end of the housing 21. The cup-hanging plate 22 and the housing 21 form a cup-hanging position 23 and a top cup position 24 connecting the cup body 3. A trigger 25 located between the cup-hanging position 23 and the top cup position 24 is also installed on the inner side of the housing 21. A switch assembly 26 for sensing the floating position of the trigger 25 is also installed on the inner side of the housing 21.
[0032] It should be noted that the cup body 3 described in this embodiment is a cup body with an inwardly curved edge at the top. It is hung on the cup hanging plate 22 by its inwardly curved edge so that it moves down from the cup hanging position 23 to abut against the trigger 25, or moves up from the top cup position 24 to abut against the trigger 25, so as to achieve two switch triggering methods.
[0033] In some embodiments, the cup-hanging plate 22 of this utility model includes a cup plate 221 and two arms 222 connected between the cup plate 221 and the housing 21. The two arms 222 divide the space between the cup plate 221 and the housing 21 vertically into a cup-hanging position 23 and a cup-top position 24. That is, in this embodiment, the cup plate 221 and the housing 21 are connected and fixed by the two arms 222. At the same time, due to the support of the arms 222, the cup plate 221 and the housing 21 are spaced apart and divided into a cup-hanging position 23 and a cup-top position 24.
[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a first slide 223 is formed between the two arms 222, and a second slide 211 is provided at the front end of the housing 21. The first slide 223 and the second slide 211 are arranged opposite to each other. Of course, in this embodiment, the first slide 223 and the second slide 211 are both opened along the height direction of the body 1.
[0035] Based on the above embodiments, the trigger 25 is a trigger piece that slides between the first slide rail 223 and the second slide rail 211, that is, the outer end of the trigger piece slides between the two arms 222, and its inner end extends to the inner side of the housing 21.
[0036] The inner end of the trigger piece is also formed with a connecting end 251, which is used to connect the reset component 27. Its specific structure will be described in detail later, and will not be elaborated here.
[0037] Preferably, in this embodiment, the switch assembly 26 includes two slotted photoelectric switches fixed inside the housing 21 by fasteners. The slots of the two slotted photoelectric switches face each other and respectively accommodate the upper and lower sides of the trigger piece. Of course, the slotted photoelectric switches are connected to the control mechanism of the body 1. When the trigger piece moves into the slot of the upper and lower slotted photoelectric switches, the control mechanism starts the stirring mechanism; otherwise, when they separate, the stirring stops.
[0038] Furthermore, all the fasteners described in this embodiment can be set as bolts, and the fasteners thereafter can also adopt the same structure, so they will not be described again later.
[0039] In order to achieve the movement and reset of the trigger piece, this embodiment also includes a reset component 27, which is used to reset the trigger piece 25 that is floating up and down.
[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the reset assembly 27 includes a bracket 271 connected to the inner side of the housing 21 by fasteners. Several elastic elements 272 are fixedly installed on the side of the bracket 271. The elastic elements 272 are connected to the connecting end 251. Preferably, in this embodiment, the elastic elements 272 can be set as steel ropes. One end of several steel ropes is connected to the connecting end 251 to control the movement and reset of the trigger plate.
[0041] Based on the above embodiments, the upper end of the bracket 271 in this embodiment has a stepped platform. Specifically, the bracket 271 includes a mounting part and a U-shaped part, and the stepped platform is formed on the U-shaped part.
[0042] A connecting piece 273 is placed in the stepped position. The connecting piece 273 is installed in the deeper groove of the stepped position. Of course, in order to position the connecting piece 273, a positioning post can also be fixed on the inner side of the stepped position. A positioning hole is opened on the end face of the connecting piece 273. The connecting piece 273 is connected and positioned by the insertion and cooperation of the positioning hole and the positioning post. The connecting piece 273 is fixedly connected to several elastic elements 272. A pressure plate 274 is connected above the stepped position by fasteners and pressed against the upper side of the connecting piece 273.
[0043] It should be noted that, in order to waterproof the second slide 211 of the housing 21 and prevent the juice from entering the interior of the housing 21, a fixing plate 28 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the housing 21 in this embodiment. A waterproof membrane 29 is sandwiched between the fixing plate 28 and the housing 21. The waterproof membrane 29 has a slit 291 for the trigger 25 to slide. Specifically, the waterproof membrane 29 in this embodiment is an elastic membrane, such as a rubber membrane. The slit 291 is used for the trigger to slide. At the same time, since the gap of the slit 291 is small, it can effectively block water in the non-sliding area to achieve a waterproof effect.
[0044] Furthermore, the fixing plate 28 described in this embodiment is a ring-shaped frame structure and is installed on the rear side of the slotted photoelectric switch. It can be fixed by fasteners and housing 21, or several positioning posts can be set inside the housing 21 for insertion and positioning. It can also be installed and fixed by pressing it with the slotted photoelectric switch.
[0045] In use, first, hang the cup body 3 on the upper cup position 23 of the cup hanging plate 22. At this time, the edge of the cup will press down the upper end of the trigger piece 25. After pressing down 3mm, the rear end of the trigger piece will move down into the slot of the slot-shaped photoelectric switch and block the photoelectric emitter head. At this time, the photoelectric switch can be triggered, the whole circuit can be connected, and the machine will start working. When the cup body 3 is picked up and the edge of the cup leaves the cup hanging plate 22, the trigger piece will automatically reset to the horizontal position under the action of the reset component 27. At this time, the photoelectric switch will automatically disconnect, the whole circuit will be automatically cut off, and the machine will stop working.
[0046] Similarly, when the cup is lifted, the cup 3 is lifted from below until it reaches the lower cup position 24 of the cup hanging plate 22. At this time, the edge of the cup will lift the lower end of the trigger piece upward. After moving upward by 3mm, the rear end of the trigger piece will move upward into the slot of the slotted photoelectric switch and block the photoelectric emitter. At this time, the photoelectric switch can be triggered, the whole circuit can be connected, and the machine will start working. When the cup 3 is removed and the edge of the cup leaves the cup support, the trigger piece will automatically reset to the horizontal position under the action of the reset component 27. At this time, the photoelectric switch will automatically disconnect, the whole circuit will be automatically cut off, and the machine will stop working.
[0047] In summary, the milkshake maker of this utility model has a dual-switch triggering method, which can automatically trigger the start switch by hanging the cup or by lifting the cup. The photoelectric switch is highly sensitive and reacts quickly when the circuit is started and disconnected, effectively improving the ease of use of existing milkshake cups.
[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
