Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smoothie machine technology, and in particular to a smoothie machine that is easy to dispense ice. Background Technology

[0002] A smoothie maker is a food processing device used to make smoothies or smoothie drinks. When using it, liquids such as fruit juice and dairy products are poured into the mixing chamber of the smoothie maker. After a period of ice making and stirring, the liquid can form a smoothie-like solid-liquid mixture for people to enjoy.

[0003] Smoothie machines typically have a discharge port connected to the mixing chamber. Currently, the discharge port and the mixing chamber are directly connected. After the smoothie is discharged, the smoothie inside the mixing chamber continues to be subjected to gravity, making it difficult to close the discharge port again. This can easily cause spillage, resulting in poor appearance of the dish. The spillage may also contaminate the smoothie bowl, posing a food safety hazard. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to provide an ice dispensing device for a smoothie machine, which aims to provide a smoothie machine that is easy to dispense.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a smoothie machine that facilitates ice dispensing, comprising a smoothie machine body, a mixing chamber on the smoothie machine body, an ice outlet on one side of the mixing chamber, and a switch mechanism at the ice outlet. The switch mechanism includes a cover block and a control rod. The cover block closes to the ice outlet, and the control rod is driven to the cover block to open or close the ice outlet.

[0006] Specifically, an opening is provided on one side of the mixing chamber, and an extension is provided below the opening to form the ice outlet, with a cover block inclinedly covering the ice outlet.

[0007] Specifically, the switching mechanism further includes an assembly part and a flow guide part. The flow guide part is shaped like the number 7. A material passage is provided inside the flow guide part. An inlet and an outlet are respectively formed at both ends of the flow guide part. The inlet is connected to the ice outlet. The assembly part is covered on the flow guide part.

[0008] Specifically, both the guide section and the assembly section have an assembly port at their upper ends. The assembly section has an assembly plate, and the cover block has an installation section. The installation section has a first installation end and a second installation end. The cover block is hinged to the assembly plate through the second installation end, and the cover block is connected to the control rod through the first installation end.

[0009] Specifically, the control lever includes a pull rod portion and a connecting portion. The connecting portion is connected to the cover block in a driving manner, and the pull rod portion is used to drive the connecting portion to move.

[0010] Specifically, a silicone seal is provided on the side of the cover block facing the ice outlet, and the silicone seal has a clearance space that matches the ice outlet.

[0011] This utility model provides an ice outlet on one side of the mixing chamber to prevent the ice sand from flowing directly downwards under gravity and causing closing pressure on the cover block.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a smoothie machine that facilitates ice dispensing includes a smoothie machine body 10, a mixing chamber 11 on the smoothie machine body 10, an ice outlet 12 on one side of the mixing chamber 11, and a switching mechanism at the ice outlet 12. The switching mechanism includes a cover block 14 and a control rod 13. The cover block 14 covers the ice outlet 12, and the control rod 13 is driven to the cover block 14. The control rod 13 drives the cover block 14 to open or close the ice outlet 12. When making slushies, liquid is injected into the mixing chamber 11, which then performs an ice-making operation on the liquid. Once the mixed liquid has become slushies, the cover block 14 is opened by pulling the control lever 13, allowing the slushies to flow out from the ice outlet 12 located on one side of the mixing chamber 11. When a certain amount of slushies has flowed out, the cover block 14 is closed by pushing the control lever 13, causing the cover block 14 to close with the ice outlet 12. In practical applications, slushies are solid-liquid mixtures. Therefore, in actual use, a mechanical push-pull structure is used to allow the cover block 14 to better control the flow rate of the ice outlet 12, thereby improving the ice-dispensing stability of the slushie machine.

[0020] An opening is provided on one side of the mixing chamber 11, and an extension is provided below the opening to form an ice outlet 12. A cover block 14 is obliquely placed on the ice outlet 12. In this embodiment, an opening is provided on one side of the mixing chamber 11, and by obliquely placing the cover block 14 on the ice outlet 12, the sealing stability of the cover block 14 on the ice outlet 12 is improved.

[0021] The switching mechanism also includes an assembly part 15 and a flow guide part 16. The flow guide part 16 is shaped like the number 7. A material passage is provided inside the flow guide part 16. An inlet and an outlet are formed at both ends of the flow guide part 16, respectively. The inlet is connected to the ice outlet 12. The assembly part 15 covers the flow guide part 16. In this embodiment, by providing a material passage inside the flow guide part 16, which is connected to the ice outlet 12, the ice shavings enter the material passage through the inlet and then exit the material passage through the outlet. Since the flow guide part 16 is shaped like the number 7, the material passage is also shaped like the number 7, which facilitates the collection and flow of ice shavings along the material passage inside the flow guide part 16, thereby improving the stability of the ice shavings during discharge.

[0022] Both the guide section 16 and the assembly section 15 have assembly ports at their upper ends. The assembly section 15 has an assembly plate 17, and the cover block 14 has an installation section with a first installation end 18 and a second installation end 19. The cover block 14 is hinged to the assembly plate 17 via the second installation end 19, and the cover block 14 is connected to the control rod 13 via the first installation end 18. In this embodiment, by providing the assembly plate 17 on the assembly section 15, and the cover block 14 being hinged to the assembly plate 17 via the second installation end 19, a torsion spring is provided on the second installation plate 19. When the cover block 14 is opened, the torsion spring is compressed, providing a certain thrust to the cover block 14, thereby facilitating the closing of the cover block 14. Furthermore, the cover block 14 is connected to the control rod 13 via the first installation end 18, thus facilitating the opening or closing of the cover block 14 via the control rod 13.

[0023] The control lever 13 includes a pull rod portion and a connecting portion. The connecting portion is kinetically connected to the cover block 14, and the pull rod portion is used to drive the connecting portion to move. In this embodiment, the connecting portion is connected to the first mounting end 18, and the operator controls the connecting portion by pulling the rod portion to open or close the cover block 14.

[0024] A silicone seal 20 is provided on the side of the cover block 14 facing the ice outlet 12, and the silicone seal 20 has a clearance that matches the ice outlet 12. In this embodiment, the silicone seal 20 is provided to improve the closing effect of the cover block 14 on the ice outlet 12.
