The smoothie maker has a dispensing tank for temporarily storing the smoothie, with a dispensing nozzle on the tank. Users can easily dispense the smoothie by turning the nozzle. However, because the internal channels of the dispensing nozzle are narrow, the smoothie mixed with fruits, juices, and other ingredients can easily clog the nozzle. Furthermore, the dispensing nozzle is difficult to disassemble and cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a material dispensing mechanism for use in a smoothie machine, in order to solve the problems of existing smoothie machines dispensing ice through a discharge tap, which is prone to clogging and requires complicated cleaning.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A material dispensing mechanism used in a smoothie machine includes a material shell with a discharge port. A drive rod and a driven rod are rotatably connected to the material shell. When the drive rod rotates relative to the material shell, it drives the driven rod to rotate relative to the material shell to open and close the discharge port. The drive rod and the driven rod rotate in opposite directions.

[0006] Furthermore, the drive rod has a drive arm, and the driven rod has a driven arm. When the drive rod rotates, the drive arm and the driven arm cooperate to drive the driven rod to rotate and open or close the discharge port.

[0007] Furthermore, one of the driving arm and the driven arm is provided with a guide groove, and the other of the two is provided with a guide block that slides in cooperation with the guide groove. When the driving rod rotates, the guide block moves along the guide groove, causing the driven rod to rotate to open and close the discharge port.

[0008] Furthermore, the drive arm is provided with a positioning groove, and the wall of the positioning groove is provided with a guide groove. The driven arm is housed in the positioning groove and is provided with a guide block that slides with the guide groove. When the drive rod rotates, the guide block moves along the guide groove, causing the driven rod to rotate to open and close the discharge port.

[0009] Furthermore, there are two guide grooves and two guide blocks, which correspond one-to-one, with the two guide grooves located on opposite sides of the positioning groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the driving arm and the driven arm abut against each other in the rotation direction of the driving rod, and the driving arm and the driven arm push against each other when the driving rod rotates, causing the driven rod to rotate to open and close the discharge port.

[0011] Furthermore, there are two drive arms, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the driven arm. When the drive rod rotates, one of the two drive arms abuts against the driven arm, causing the driven rod to rotate to open or close the discharge port.

[0012] Furthermore, the shell has a receiving groove for accommodating the driving rod and the driven rod, and the driving rod and the driven rod are rotatably connected to the shell via the groove wall.

[0013] Furthermore, the driven rod has a sealing plug, which is inserted into the discharge port when the driven rod closes the discharge port.

[0014] Furthermore, the drive rod and the driven rod are arranged vertically and rotate relative to the shell in the vertical plane.

[0015] The advantage of this technical solution is that by configuring a discharge port, a drive rod, and a driven rod on the material shell, the drive rod rotates to drive the driven rod to rotate and open or close the discharge port. Therefore, the discharge port can discharge smoothly, is not easy to block, and is easy to clean. In addition, the linkage opening and closing structure is simple and easy to implement.

The material shell 1 has a slush chamber 101 and a discharge port 102. The slush chamber 101 is used to store slush and discharge it through the discharge port 102. The drive rod 2 and the driven rod 3 are rotatably connected to the material shell 1. When the drive rod 2 rotates relative to the material shell 1, it drives the driven rod 3 to rotate relative to the material shell 1 to open and close the discharge port 102. The rotation directions of the drive rod 2 and the driven rod 3 are opposite. Specifically, the drive rod 2 and the driven rod 3 are arranged vertically, with the drive rod 2 at the top and the driven rod 3 at the bottom. The drive rod 2 and the driven rod 3 rotate relative to the material shell 1 in a vertical plane. When the drive rod 2 rotates counterclockwise, it drives the driven rod 3 to rotate clockwise to open the discharge port 102. When the drive rod 2 rotates clockwise, it drives the driven rod 3 to rotate counterclockwise to close the discharge port 102. This embodiment provides a material dispensing mechanism for use in a smoothie machine to solve the problems of existing smoothie machines dispensing ice through a discharge tap, which is prone to clogging and requires cumbersome cleaning. The mechanism mainly involves configuring a discharge port 102, a drive rod 2, and a driven rod 3 on the material shell 1. When the drive rod 2 rotates, it drives the driven rod 3 to rotate to open and close the discharge port 102. Therefore, the discharge port 102 dispenses material smoothly, is not prone to clogging, and is easy to clean. Moreover, the linkage opening and closing structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0034] In Embodiment 1 of this utility model, the driving rod 2 has a driving arm 204, and the driven rod 3 has a driven arm 303. When the driving rod 2 rotates, the driving arm 204 and the driven arm 303 cooperate to drive the driven rod 3 to rotate, opening and closing the discharge port 102. Specifically, the driving arm 204 is provided with a guide groove 201, and the driven arm 303 is provided with a guide block 301 that slides with the guide groove 201. When the driving rod 2 rotates, the guide block 301 moves along the guide groove 201, causing the driven rod 3 to rotate, opening and closing the discharge port 102. The above arrangement, by configuring the guide groove 201 on the driving arm 204 and configuring the guide block 301 on the driven arm 303 that slides with the guide groove 201 to drive the driven rod 3 to rotate, realizes the linkage between the driven rod 3 and the driving rod 2. The linkage opening and closing structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0035] In other embodiments, guide groove 201 is disposed on driven arm 303 and guide block 301 is disposed on drive arm 204.

[0036] In Embodiment 1 of this utility model, the drive arm 204 is provided with a positioning groove 202, and the wall of the positioning groove 202 is provided with a guide groove 201. The driven arm 303 is partially accommodated in the positioning groove 202 and is provided with a guide block 301 that slides with the guide groove 201. The above arrangement, by configuring the positioning groove 202 on the drive arm 204, configuring the guide groove 201 on the wall of the positioning groove 202, and having the driven arm 303 partially accommodated in the positioning groove 202 and provided with a guide block 301 that slides with the guide groove 201, makes the drive rod 2 and the driven rod 3 assembled stably and compactly.

[0037] In Embodiment 1 of this utility model, there are two guide grooves 201 and two guide blocks 301, which correspond one-to-one. The two guide grooves 201 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the positioning groove 202. By configuring two guide grooves 201 and two guide blocks 301 in a one-to-one correspondence, the guide blocks 301 move stably and smoothly along the guide grooves 201 when the drive rod 2 rotates.

[0038] In Embodiment 1 of this utility model, the material shell 1 has a receiving groove 103 for accommodating the driving rod 2 and the driven rod 3. The driving rod 2 and the driven rod 3 are rotatably connected to the material shell 1 via the groove wall of the receiving groove 103. The discharge port 102 is opened on the bottom of the receiving groove 103. The above arrangement, by configuring the receiving groove 103 for accommodating the driving rod 2 and the driven rod 3 on the material shell 1, and rotatably connecting the driving rod 2 and the driven rod 3 to the groove wall of the receiving groove 103, makes the driving rod 2, the driven rod 3 and the material shell 1 fit together compactly and stably.

[0039] In Embodiment 1 of this utility model, the driven rod 3 has a sealing plug 302, which is inserted into the discharge port 102 when the driven rod 3 closes the discharge port 102. This arrangement, by configuring the sealing plug 302 on the driven rod 3 so that it is inserted into the discharge port 102 when it closes the discharge port 102, provides a good sealing effect when the driven rod 3 closes the discharge port 102.

[0040] In embodiment 1 of this utility model, the drive rod 2 also has a drive connecting part 203, which is rotatably connected to the material shell 1. The drive arm 204 is disposed on the outer wall of the drive connecting part 203.

The stop part 304 is used to open and close the discharge port 102, and a sealing plug 302 is provided on the stop part 304.

[0041] Example 2: Figure 7-12 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the driving arm 204 and the driven arm 303 abut against each other in the rotation direction of the driving rod 2. When the driving rod 2 rotates, the driving arm 204 and the driven arm 303 push against each other, causing the driven rod 3 to rotate and open / close the discharge port 102. Specifically, the driving arm 204 and the driven arm 303 abut against each other, with the driving arm 204 forward and the driven arm 303 backward. When the driving rod 2 rotates counterclockwise, the driving arm 204 pushes the driven arm 303 backward, causing the driving rod 2 to drive the driven rod 3 to rotate clockwise to open the discharge port 102. After the external force on the driving rod 2 is removed, the driven arm 303 pushes the driving arm 204 forward, causing the driven rod 3 to rotate counterclockwise to close the discharge port 102.

[0042] Example 3: As Figure 13-14As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that there are two drive arms 204, which are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the driven arm 303. When the drive rod 2 rotates, one of the drive arms 204 abuts against the driven arm 303, causing the driven rod 3 to rotate and open or close the discharge port 102. Specifically, when the drive rod 2 rotates counterclockwise, the front drive arm 204 pushes the driven arm 303 backward, causing the drive rod 2 to drive the driven rod 3 to rotate clockwise to open the discharge port 102. When the drive rod 2 rotates clockwise, the rear drive arm 204 pushes the driven arm 303 forward, causing the driven rod 3 to rotate counterclockwise to close the discharge port 102.
