Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slush production technology, specifically to a spring-loaded discharge mechanism for cutting off and intercepting material flow in a slush machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing technology, a shaved ice machine, also known as an ice shaver or shaved ice machine, is a device specifically designed to make shaved ice, a delicate and fluffy crushed ice dessert. It is widely used in the catering industry, especially in summer, to quickly make cold drinks and desserts.

[0003] The patent publication number "CN221444550U" describes a "smoothie machine." This utility model discloses a smoothie machine, including a base with an ice-making component, an ice scraper, and a liquid collection tray. The ice-making component extends at least partially into the liquid collection tray and can rotate relative to it. When rotating relative to the tray, the ice-making component picks up liquid from the tray and freezes the liquid adhering to its outer surface. The ice scraper is located on one side of the ice-making component and scrapes off the ice from its outer surface as it rotates relative to the tray. The ice-making component is spherical, and its outer surface has several fine grooves. This utility model, by configuring the ice-making component into a spherical shape and providing several fine grooves on its outer surface, allows the outer surface of the ice-making component to have good water and ice retention capabilities when it picks up liquid relative to the tray, as the liquid is retained in the fine grooves, effectively improving the smoothie production efficiency of the smoothie machine.

[0004] The aforementioned patent has certain shortcomings in its use. Although it has good water and ice retention capabilities, it lacks a precise material cutting and interception function, which can easily lead to unstable material supply, affect the consistency of product quality, and may cause material waste. In addition, the lack of a disassembly structure will increase the time cost required for cleaning and maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a rebound discharge mechanism for cutting off and intercepting material in a smoothie machine. It has a precise cutting off and intercepting function, which can accurately control the material supply in each operation, reduce material waste, and effectively solve the problem that the lack of precise cutting off and intercepting function in the existing technology can easily lead to unstable material supply and affect the consistency of product quality.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides a rebound discharge mechanism for cutting off material flow in a smoothie machine, comprising:

[0008] Main body of the device;

[0009] A flow-cutting control mechanism is provided on one side of the main body of the device. The flow-cutting control mechanism includes a flow-cutting body, a rotating component, a fixed spring, a mating component, a push rod, a sealing component, and a rotating handle. The flow-cutting body is fixedly connected to one end of the main body of the device. The mating component is slidably connected inside the flow-cutting body. The push rod is slidably connected inside the mating component. The sealing component is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod and slidably connected inside the flow-cutting body. The rotating component is rotatably connected inside the mating component. The fixed spring is fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating component. The rotating handle is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating component.

[0010] A quick-release mechanism is located on the upper side of the main body of the device.

[0011] Furthermore, the quick-release mechanism includes a protective shell, a rotating connecting rod, locking components, fixing slots, and a housing. The protective shell is fixedly connected to the upper end of the device body, the rotating connecting rod is rotatably connected inside the protective shell, the two locking components are respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating connecting rod, the two fixing slots are both opened in the two locking components, the housing is slidably connected to the upper end of the device body, and the two locking components are respectively located on both sides of the housing.

[0012] Furthermore, a second driving component is fixedly connected inside the protective shell, an electrical control box is fixedly connected inside the protective shell, an ice-shavering blade is provided on one side of the electrical control box, and an ice-shavering blade is provided inside the machine housing.

[0013] Furthermore, a feed switch is slidably connected to the upper end of the housing.

[0014] Furthermore, an ice outlet is fixedly connected to the lower end of the intercepting body, a flow groove is provided inside the ice outlet, and a sealing element is slidably connected inside the flow groove.

[0015] Furthermore, a coaster is provided on the lower side of the ice outlet, and a coaster is fixedly connected to one end of the main body of the device.

[0016] Furthermore, multiple heat dissipation holes are respectively provided at both ends of the main body of the device.

[0017] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the known prior art:

[0018] 1. When it is necessary to unlock the flow function of the seal, the operator turns the handle to move it backward. The handle drives the rotating part to rotate around its rotation point, forming a lever effect similar to a seesaw structure. This pushes the mating parts to slide upward. At this time, the fixed spring deforms with the movement of the rotating part and releases its force, causing the push rod to move upward synchronously, thereby driving the seal to disengage from the sealing position and opening the discharge channel. Conversely, the operation restores the sealing state. This linkage structure achieves rapid switching between interception and discharge through the lever principle and elastic reset mechanism, improving the convenience of operation and the reliability of discharge control.

[0019] 2. When it is necessary to disassemble the housing, rotate the connecting rod in the opposite direction to disengage the fixing slot from the buckle, and the housing can be slid out. This structure uses the rotating connecting rod to drive the locking component to lock and release the buckle, thereby completing the quick installation and disassembly of the housing. This improves the cleaning efficiency of the equipment after use, while ensuring the stability of the assembly and the convenience of operation. It is suitable for food processing equipment scenarios where components are frequently maintained or replaced. Attached Figure Description

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0032] See attached document Figures 1-7 A spring-loaded discharge mechanism for cutting off and intercepting material in a smoothie machine, characterized in that:

[0033] Device body 1;

[0034] The flow-cutting control mechanism is located on one side of the main body 1 of the device. The flow-cutting control mechanism includes a flow-cutting body 2, a rotating component 201, a fixed spring 202, a mating component 3, a push rod 4, a sealing component 5, and a rotating handle 16. The flow-cutting body 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the main body 1 of the device. The mating component 3 is slidably connected to the flow-cutting body 2. The push rod 4 is slidably connected to the mating component 3. The sealing component 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod 4 and slidably connected to the flow-cutting body 2. The rotating component 201 is rotatably connected to the mating component 3. The fixed spring 202 is fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating component 201. The rotating handle 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating component 201.

[0035] The quick-release mechanism is located on the upper side of the main body 1 of the device.

[0036] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, when it is necessary to unlock the seal 5 to achieve material discharge, the operator first turns the rotating handle 16. Since the rotating handle 16 is fixedly connected to the rotating component 201, this action will cause the rotating component 201 to rotate around its rotation point in the mating component 3. The rotation of the rotating component 201 is similar to a seesaw structure. When one end is turned downward, the other end is lifted upward, thereby pushing the mating component 3 to move upward along the sliding path inside the intercepting body 2. The rise of the mating component 3 causes the push rod 4 to move upward synchronously, while the seal 5 is fixed to one end of the push rod 4. Therefore, it is also pulled upward, disengaging from its original sealed position, thus opening the discharge channel. During this process, the fixed spring 202 is connected to both ends of the rotating part 201. As the rotating part 201 rotates, it is compressed or stretched, storing elastic potential energy, which is released after the operation ends, pushing the rotating part 201 to reset, thereby driving the entire mechanism back to its initial state, allowing the seal 5 to return to the sealed position, completing one discharge cycle. This structure achieves rapid and stable switching of the sealing state through a combination of lever transmission and elastic reset, improving operating efficiency and the accuracy of discharge control.

[0037] For details, please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-7 The quick-release mechanism includes a protective shell 6, a rotating connecting rod 7, locking elements 8, fixing grooves 9, and a housing 10. The protective shell 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the main body 1 of the device. The rotating connecting rod 7 is rotatably connected inside the protective shell 6. Two locking elements 8 are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating connecting rod 7. Two fixing grooves 9 are opened inside the two locking elements 8. The housing 10 is slidably connected to the upper end of the main body 1 of the device. Two locking elements 8 are respectively located on both sides of the housing 10.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the housing 10 needs to be installed, it is first slid upward along the main body 1 to the designated position. At this time, the rotating connecting rod 7 is rotated, which drives the locking member 8 to rotate synchronously, so that the fixing groove 9 is aligned with the buckles on both sides of the housing 10. The buckles then slide into the fixing groove 9, thereby locking the housing 10. When disassembly is required, the rotating connecting rod 7 is rotated in the opposite direction, so that the fixing groove 9 is disengaged from the buckle, and the housing 10 can be slid out. This structure achieves locking and releasing of the buckles by rotating the connecting rod 7 to drive the locking member 8, thereby completing the quick installation and disassembly of the housing 10, improving the cleaning efficiency of the equipment after use, while ensuring the stability of assembly and the convenience of operation. It is suitable for food processing equipment scenarios where components are frequently maintained or replaced.

[0039] For details, please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-7 An electrical control box 11 is fixedly connected inside the protective shell 6. An ice shaver 12 is provided on one side of the electrical control box 11. An ice shaver 12 is provided inside the machine housing 10.

[0040] In this embodiment, an additional motor is fixedly installed at the front end of the electrical control box 11. The motor is powered by the electrical control box 11. The motor provides power to drive the ice shaving blade 12 to rotate at high speed, crushing the ice blocks that enter the housing 10 to make shaved ice. This structure ensures the stability of power transmission through the direct connection between the drive component and the blade. At the same time, the ice shaving blade 12 is placed inside the housing 10, so that the material completes the crushing process in a closed space, avoiding material splashing and leakage, and improving the safety and processing efficiency of the equipment.

[0041] For details, please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-7 The upper end of the housing 10 is slidably connected to the feed switch 13.

[0042] In this embodiment, the feed switch 13 can slide along the upper end of the housing 10. By controlling its opening and closing position, the channel through which the material enters the housing 10 can be adjusted, thereby controlling the feeding timing and flow rate. This structure realizes the opening and closing function of the feed port through a sliding connection, which improves the controllability of material supply, facilitates operation and cleaning, and ensures the continuity and stability of equipment operation.

[0043] For details, please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-7 The lower end of the intercepting body 2 is fixedly connected to an ice outlet 14, and a flow channel 15 is provided inside the ice outlet 14. A sealing element 5 is slidably connected inside the flow channel 15.

[0044] In this embodiment, the sealing element 5 slides along the flow channel 15 under the drive of the telescopic rod 4. The opening and closing of the ice outlet 14 is controlled by the change of its position, so as to intercept and release the material flow. This structure uses the cooperation between the sealing element 5 and the flow channel 15 to achieve precise material cutting function, prevent material residue or accidental leakage, and improve the accuracy of material discharge control and the stability of equipment operation.

[0045] For details, please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-7 A coaster 17 is provided on the lower side of the ice outlet 14, and a coaster 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the main body 1 of the device.

[0046] In this embodiment, during the discharge process, the coaster 17 is located below the ice outlet 14 to support the receiving container and maintain its stable position, ensuring that the material can accurately fall into the container after being discharged from the ice outlet 14. This structure, by setting the coaster 17 on the main body 1 of the device, achieves positioning support for the container, improves the discharge accuracy and ease of operation, and at the same time avoids material spillage caused by container displacement.

[0047] For details, please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-7 Multiple heat dissipation holes 18 are provided at both ends of the main body 1 of the device.

[0048] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation holes 18 are used to accelerate the dissipation of heat inside the device, so that the motor and drive components can be kept within a reasonable temperature range during continuous operation. This structure achieves active heat dissipation of internal components by setting multiple heat dissipation holes 18 at both ends of the main body 1 of the device, thereby improving the stability and service life of the equipment, and preventing performance degradation or failure caused by excessive temperature.

[0049] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, slide the housing 10 along the upper end of the main body 1 to the installation position. At this time, the two locking parts 8 in the quick-release mechanism are located on both sides of the housing 10. The rotating connecting rod 7 is in the initial state inside the protective shell 6. The locking parts 8 are engaged and fixed with the housing 10 through the fixing groove 9, completing the quick installation of the housing 10. Then, slide the feed switch 13 open to allow the material to enter the housing 10. The electrical control box 11 starts and drives the ice-shaving blade 12 to process the material. When the processing is completed and discharge is required, the operator turns the rotating handle 16 to rotate the rotating part 201. The mating part 3 slides upward inside the intercepting body 2, and the pushing rod 4 moves upward accordingly, so that the sealing part 5 is in the flow. The material is dislodged from its sealed position within the channel 15, thereby opening the ice outlet 14 and allowing material to be discharged. During this process, the fixed spring 202 deforms with the movement of the rotating component 201 and provides a restoring force after the material is discharged, causing the seal 5 to return to its sealed position. The discharged material falls into the container on the coaster 17 through the ice outlet 14. At the same time, multiple heat dissipation holes 18 at both ends of the main body 1 continuously ventilate and dissipate heat to ensure stable operation of the equipment. This utility model has a precise material cutting and interception function, which can accurately control the amount of material supplied in each operation, reduce material waste, and ensure the consistency of product quality. It also has a quick disassembly function, which is convenient for cleaning and daily maintenance, effectively reducing downtime and improving the overall operating efficiency of the equipment.

Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
