Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slush machine, specifically a slush machine cylinder locking structure. Background Technology

[0002] A slush machine is a machine that makes beverages into slushies. Its core function is to mix and blend ice cubes with liquid beverages to create a smooth slush. Existing locking mechanisms between the mixing drum and the main unit use a straight-arm handle and a linear travel groove for control. The drum is locked and opened by the linear movement of the handle within the groove. This method has poor stability; when the equipment vibrates or is subjected to lateral forces, the handle is prone to shifting, causing the drum to fail to lock properly and resulting in leakage. This severely impacts ice-making efficiency and operational safety. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the defects of the existing slush machine cylinder locking structure, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a slush machine cylinder locking structure that can improve the stability of the equipment during operation, prevent leakage, and improve the stability of disassembling and assembling the cylinder.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of this utility model, the present utility model is implemented through the following technical measures: a slush machine cylinder locking structure includes a main unit, a cylinder, and a handle assembly. The main unit has a shaft hole and a travel groove on its upper part. Two elastic fasteners are provided in the travel groove, and one end of each elastic fastener has a locking protrusion. The handle assembly includes a knob and a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is inserted into the shaft hole. Each end of the rotating shaft has a knob. The inner side of the knob has a locking groove and a positioning post. The locking groove is spiral-shaped, and the groove opening is located on the outer side of the knob. The positioning post is inserted into the travel groove. The cylinder has a locking post.

[0005] Furthermore, the handle assembly also includes a handle link that connects the two knobs together.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: The locking structure of the material cylinder of this slush machine has a positioning post inside the knob, which can be positioned in the open and locked states to prevent the handle from rotating after being subjected to external force, thereby improving the stability of the equipment during operation and preventing leakage; the rotating shaft and the handle connecting rod enable the two knobs to rotate synchronously, improving the stability of disassembling and assembling the material cylinder. Attached Figure Description

[0007] The accompanying drawings, which form part of this utility model, are used to provide a further understanding of the utility model. The illustrative embodiments of the utility model and their descriptions are used to explain the utility model and do not constitute an undue limitation of the utility model. In the drawings:

[0011] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present application can be combined with each other.

[0012] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", "bottom", "top", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0013] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 This embodiment provides a slush machine cylinder locking structure, including a main unit 1, a cylinder 2, and a handle assembly 3. The main unit 1 has a shaft hole 4 and a travel groove 5 on its upper part. Two elastic fasteners 6 are provided in the travel groove 5. One end of the two elastic fasteners 6 is connected to the middle of the locking groove 11, and the other end extends vertically to both ends of the travel groove 5. The extended ends of the elastic fasteners 6 are provided with snap-fit ​​protrusions 7. The handle assembly 3 includes a knob 8, a handle connecting rod 9, and a rotating shaft 10. The rotating shaft 10 is inserted into the shaft hole 4. Each end of the rotating shaft 10 is provided with a knob 8. The handle connecting rod 9 connects the two knobs 8 together. Controlling the handle can make the knobs 8 rotate synchronously. The inner side of the knob 8 is provided with a locking groove 11 and a positioning post 12. The locking groove 11 is spiral arc-shaped, and the groove opening is located on the outer side of the knob 8. The positioning post 12 is inserted into the travel groove 5. The cylinder 2 is provided with a locking post 13.

[0014] This embodiment provides a slush machine cylinder locking structure. During installation, the control handle linkage 9 aligns the opening of the locking groove 11 with the locking post 13. The handle linkage 9 is rotated counterclockwise, and the locking post 13 moves to the innermost side of the locking groove 11. At the same time, the positioning post 12 engages with the snap-fit ​​protrusion 7 of the elastic fastener 6 below the travel groove 5, thus fixing the cylinder 2 onto the main unit 1. During cleaning, the handle linkage 9 is rotated clockwise, and the locking post 13 moves along the locking groove 11 toward the opening, eventually turning out of the opening. The cylinder 2 separates from the main unit 1, and at the same time, the positioning post 12 engages with the snap-fit ​​protrusion 7 of the elastic fastener 6 above the travel groove 5.

[0015] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
