Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smoothie machine technology, and specifically to an ice bucket assembly structure for a smoothie machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most smoothie machines on the market are equipped with detachable material tanks, making it easy to install and remove the tanks. After use, the tanks can be disassembled and cleaned, making cleaning more convenient.

[0003] For example, the utility model patent with publication number CN222954809U discloses a material bucket assembly structure for a smoothie machine; the material bucket of this prior art is assembled on the main unit by rotating in the forward direction and disassembled from the main unit by rotating in the reverse direction, which is relatively convenient; however, after assembly, the material bucket of this prior art can rotate axially relative to the main unit, and when the stirring component is working, the material bucket is easily subjected to force and rotates axially, resulting in unreliable assembly effect.

[0004] Therefore, there is still room for improvement and development in existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems of existing technologies, this utility model provides an ice bucket assembly structure for a smoothie machine. A double locking mechanism is provided between the main unit and the ice bucket, which makes the ice bucket more reliably fixed after it is assembled on the main unit. Furthermore, the ice bucket is easily assembled and disassembled by using the locking mechanism between the ice bucket and the main unit.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution applied in this utility model is as follows:

[0007] An ice bucket assembly structure for a smoothie machine includes a main unit and an ice bucket, the ice bucket being detachably mounted on the main unit. A first locking mechanism and a second locking mechanism are provided between the ice bucket and the main unit. The first locking mechanism includes a buckle hole on the ice bucket and a locking device on the main unit, the locking device engaging with the buckle hole. The main unit has an mounting hole for assembling the ice bucket. The second locking mechanism includes a positioning groove on the inner wall of the mounting hole and a positioning rib on the outer wall of the ice bucket, the positioning rib engaging with the positioning groove. This design provides a double locking mechanism between the main unit and the ice bucket, resulting in a more reliable fixation after the ice bucket is mounted on the main unit. Furthermore, the locking mechanism facilitates easy assembly and disassembly of the ice bucket.

[0008] According to the above scheme, the locking device includes a locking assembly and a bracket. The bracket is fixed to the main unit, and the locking assembly is movably mounted on the bracket. An elastic element is provided between the bracket and the locking assembly, and the locking assembly engages with the latching hole. In practical applications, when the ice bucket is assembled onto the main unit, the elastic force of the elastic element keeps the locking assembly and the latching hole locked in place. During disassembly, pushing the locking assembly away from the latching hole allows the ice bucket to be removed from the main unit, making the assembly and disassembly of the ice bucket convenient.

[0009] According to the above scheme, the bracket is provided with an arc-shaped sliding hole and a lower pin hole. The locking assembly is provided with an upper pin and a lower pin. The upper pin slides within the arc-shaped sliding hole, and the lower pin is hinged to the lower pin hole. The elastic element includes a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the lower pin. The two ends of the torsion spring abut against the bracket and the locking assembly, respectively. In practical applications, when the ice bucket is assembled onto the main unit, the torsion spring keeps the locking assembly and the locking hole locked in place. During disassembly, pushing the locking assembly causes the upper pin to slide within the arc-shaped sliding hole, while the locking assembly rotates around the lower pin as an axis, causing the locking assembly to separate from the locking hole, thus allowing the ice bucket to be removed from the main unit.

[0010] According to the above scheme, the locking assembly includes a buckle frame and a buckle. The buckle frame and the buckle are connected by an upper pin and a lower pin. The buckle has a locking head that engages with the buckle hole, and the locking head has a beveled surface. This configuration allows the buckle frame and the buckle to be connected to form a locking assembly, which is then assembled onto a bracket. In practical applications, the beveled surface on the locking head facilitates the assembly of the ice bucket. Specifically, when the ice bucket is pushed in, it contacts the beveled surface, and under the action of force, pushes the locking head until the buckle hole aligns with the buckle. Then, under the action of a torsion spring, the locking head returns to its original position and engages with the buckle hole.

[0011] According to the above scheme, the buckle frame is provided with an upper pin hole 1 and a lower pin hole 1, and the latch is provided with an upper pin hole 2 and a lower pin hole 2. The upper pin hole 1 and the upper pin hole 2 are connected by an upper pin, and the lower pin hole 1 and the lower pin hole 2 are connected by a lower pin. In practical applications, the upper pin hole 1 connects the upper pin hole 1 and the upper pin hole 2 in series, and then slides into the arc-shaped sliding hole; the lower pin hole 1 connects the lower pin hole 1 and the lower pin hole 2 in series, and then hinges to the lower pin hole 3.

[0012] According to the above scheme, the torsion spring is provided with a torsion spring hole, which is fitted onto the lower pin. The two ends of the torsion spring are respectively provided with a torsion spring head and a torsion spring foot. The torsion spring head abuts against the locking assembly, and the torsion spring foot abuts against the bracket. In practical applications, when the ice bucket is assembled onto the main unit, the torsion spring is in a released state, ensuring that the locking assembly and the buckle hole remain locked together. When the locking assembly is pushed, the torsion spring is in a compressed state.

[0013] According to the above scheme, the latch assembly is provided with a latch back, a torsion spring head abutting against the latch back, and a fixing surface is provided on the bracket, with the torsion spring foot abutting against the fixing surface. In practical applications, the latch has a V-shaped structure, with the latch back located on the outer wall of one end of the latch and the latch head located on the other end of the latch.

[0014] According to the above scheme, the main unit includes a body with a through hole. A buckle plate is provided on the locking assembly, passing through the through hole and located outside the body. The buckle plate is slidably connected to the through hole. This arrangement facilitates pushing the buckle plate to move the locking assembly. In practical applications, the buckle plate is mounted on a buckle plate frame.

[0015] According to the above scheme, the first end of the ice bucket is provided with a bottom ring rib, and the fastening hole is provided on the bottom ring rib. The second end of the ice bucket is connected to a bucket lid. In practical applications, the ice bucket is provided with a feed inlet and a discharge outlet, the bucket lid is installed on the discharge outlet, and the bucket lid is provided with an ice slush outlet.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This invention features a double locking mechanism between the main unit and the ice bucket, which ensures a more reliable fixation when the ice bucket is mounted on the main unit. Furthermore, the locking mechanism facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the ice bucket. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solution of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the ice bucket assembly structure of the slush machine of this utility model includes a main unit 1 and an ice bucket 2, wherein the ice bucket 2 is detachably mounted on the main unit 1; a first locking mechanism and a second locking mechanism are provided between the ice bucket 2 and the main unit 1; the first locking mechanism includes a buckle hole 211 on the ice bucket 2 and a locking device 4 on the main unit 1, the locking device 4 engaging with the buckle hole 211; the main unit 1 has an installation hole 113 for mounting the ice bucket 2; the second locking mechanism includes a positioning groove 112 on the inner wall of the installation hole 113 and a positioning rib 212 on the outer wall of the ice bucket 2, the positioning rib 212 engaging with the positioning groove 112. This arrangement provides a double locking mechanism between the main unit 1 and the ice bucket 2, resulting in a more reliable fixation after the ice bucket 2 is mounted on the main unit 1; furthermore, the ice bucket 2 is easily assembled and disassembled using the locking mechanism.

[0029] In practical applications, the positioning groove 112 and the positioning bone 212 also serve as guides for the assembly of the ice bucket 2. Specifically, when assembling the ice bucket 2, the positioning bone 212 is aligned with the positioning groove 112 and pushed in to guide it so that the buckle hole 211 corresponds to the latch 42.

[0030] Furthermore, the locking device 4 includes a locking assembly and a bracket 46. The bracket 46 is fixed on the host 1, and the locking assembly is movably installed on the bracket 46. An elastic element is provided between the bracket 46 and the locking assembly, and the locking assembly is engaged with the buckle hole 211.

[0031] In practical applications, when the ice bucket 2 is assembled on the main unit 1, the elastic force of the elastic element keeps the locking assembly and the buckle hole 211 locked in place. When disassembling, the ice bucket 2 can be removed from the main unit 1 by pushing the locking assembly and the buckle hole 211 apart. The ice bucket 2 is easy to install and remove.

[0032] Furthermore, the bracket 46 is provided with an arc-shaped sliding hole 461 and a lower pin hole 462, and the locking assembly is provided with an upper pin 43 and a lower pin 45. The upper pin 43 slides within the arc-shaped sliding hole 461, and the lower pin 45 is hinged to the lower pin hole 462. The elastic element includes a torsion spring 44, which is sleeved on the lower pin 45. The two ends of the torsion spring 44 abut against the bracket 46 and the locking assembly, respectively.

[0033] In practical applications, when the ice bucket 2 is assembled onto the main unit 1, the spring force of the torsion spring 44 keeps the locking assembly and the buckle hole 211 locked in place. When disassembling, pushing the locking assembly causes the upper pin 43 to slide in the arc-shaped sliding hole 461, while the locking assembly rotates with the lower pin 45 as the axis, so that the locking assembly separates from the buckle hole 211, and the ice bucket 2 can be removed from the main unit 1.

[0034] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a buckle frame 41 and a buckle 42. The buckle frame 41 and the buckle 42 are connected by an upper pin 43 and a lower pin 45. The buckle 42 is provided with a buckle head 424 that engages with the buckle hole 211, and the buckle head 424 has a beveled surface. In this configuration, the buckle frame 41 and the buckle 42 are connected to form a locking assembly, which is then assembled onto the bracket 46.

[0035] In practical applications, the locking head 424 is formed with a bevel, which facilitates the assembly of the ice bucket 2. Specifically, when the ice bucket 2 is pushed in, the ice bucket 2 contacts the bevel, and under the action of force, the locking head 424 is pushed to move until the buckle hole 211 corresponds to the locking buckle 42. Under the action of the torsion spring 44, the locking head 424 is reset and engages with the buckle hole 211.

[0036] Furthermore, the buckle frame 41 is provided with an upper pin hole 412 and a lower pin hole 413, and the buckle 42 is provided with an upper pin hole 421 and a lower pin hole 423. The upper pin hole 412 and the upper pin hole 421 are connected by an upper pin 43, and the lower pin hole 413 and the lower pin hole 423 are connected by a lower pin 45.

[0037] In practical applications, the upper pin hole 412 connects the upper pin hole 412 and the upper pin hole 421 in series, and then slides to connect with the arc-shaped sliding hole 461; the lower pin hole 413 connects the lower pin hole 413 and the lower pin hole 423 in series, and then hinges to the lower pin hole 462.

[0038] Furthermore, the torsion spring 44 is provided with a torsion spring hole 443, which is fitted onto the lower pin 45. The two ends of the torsion spring 44 are respectively provided with a torsion spring head 441 and a torsion spring foot 442. The torsion spring head 441 abuts against the locking assembly, and the torsion spring foot 442 abuts against the bracket 46.

[0039] In practical applications, when the ice bucket 2 is assembled on the main unit 1, the spring force of the torsion spring 44 is in the released state, so that the locking assembly and the buckle hole 211 are always locked together; when the locking assembly is pushed to move the locking assembly, the spring force of the torsion spring 44 is in the compressed state.

[0040] Furthermore, the latch assembly is provided with a latch back 422, a torsion spring head 441 abuts against the latch back 422, and a fixing surface 463 is provided on the bracket 46, with a torsion spring foot 442 abutting against the fixing surface 463.

[0041] In practical applications, the latch 42 has a V-shaped structure, with the latch back 422 located on the outer wall of one end of the latch 42 and the latch head 424 located on the other end of the latch 42.

[0042] Furthermore, the main unit 1 includes a body 11, on which a through hole 111 is provided. A buckle plate 411 is provided on the locking assembly. The buckle plate 411 passes through the through hole 111 and is located outside the body 11. The buckle plate 411 is slidably connected to the through hole 111. This arrangement facilitates pushing the buckle plate 411 to drive the locking assembly.

[0043] In practical applications, the buckle plate 411 is mounted on the buckle plate frame 41.

[0044] Furthermore, the first end of the ice bucket 2 is provided with a bottom ring rib 213, and a buckle hole 211 is provided on the bottom ring rib 213. The second end of the ice bucket 2 is connected to a bucket lid 3.

[0045] In practical applications, the ice bucket 2 is provided with an inlet and an outlet, the bucket lid 3 is installed on the outlet, and the bucket lid 3 is provided with an ice slush outlet.

[0046] Working principle of this utility model:

[0047] With the ice bucket 2 mounted on the main unit 1, when it is necessary to disassemble the ice bucket 2, push the buckle plate 411 to drive the buckle plate frame 41 and the lock 42 to rotate relative to the bracket 46. During the rotation, the buckle plate frame 41 and the lock 42 rotate with the lower pin 45 as the axis, and at the same time drive the upper pin 43 to slide in the arc-shaped sliding hole 461, so that the lock head 424 of the lock 42 separates from the buckle hole 211 of the ice bucket 2. At this time, the ice bucket 2 can be removed from the main unit 1.

[0048] When the ice bucket 2 is not mounted on the main unit 1, and it is necessary to mount the ice bucket 2, the positioning bone 212 on the ice bucket 2 is aligned with the positioning groove 112 on the main unit 1 and pushed in. During the pushing process, the positioning bone 212 and the positioning groove 112 are engaged. At the same time, the bottom ring bone 213 of the ice bucket 2 contacts the inclined surface on the locking head 424. Under the action of force, the locking head 424 is pushed to move until the buckle hole 211 corresponds to the locking buckle 42. Under the action of the torsion spring 44, the locking head 424 is reset and engaged with the buckle hole 211.
