Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smoothie machine technology, specifically to a double-bucket smoothie machine. Background Technology

[0002] A smoothie maker is a commercial or household appliance that uses high-speed rotating blades to instantly pulverize ice and mix it with ingredients such as fruits, juices, and dairy products to create a smooth, refreshing, and icy beverage. Its core working principle is to use a motor to drive the blade assembly to cut and blend at high speed within the mixing cup, thus breaking down the ice and mixing the ingredients.

[0003] With the rapid development of the global beverage market, especially the booming freshly made tea, coffee, and fast food industries, smoothies have become increasingly popular among consumers due to their diverse flavors and refreshing properties, leading to continuous growth in market demand. This trend places higher demands on the production efficiency and continuous operation capabilities of smoothie machines.

[0004] However, existing smoothie maker technology, especially low-to-mid-range commercial models and most home models, generally adopts a single mixing tank (single cup) design. While this structure is simple and low-cost, it also reveals a significant technical shortcoming in practical applications: low ice-making efficiency, making it difficult to meet the continuous dispensing demand during peak hours.

[0005] Efficiency bottleneck: During peak customer traffic periods, such as summer afternoons or weekends, a single single-bucket smoothie machine simply cannot handle the surge in orders. This efficiency bottleneck directly leads to excessively long customer wait times, impacting the customer experience and the merchant's revenue.

[0006] Therefore, although single-bucket smoothie machines are technologically mature and widely used, their inherent efficiency limitations have become a key factor restricting beverage stores from improving their service capabilities and profitability. The market urgently needs a new smoothie machine technology solution that can achieve higher efficiency and faster continuous dispensing. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method: The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: chassis 1, front support frame 2, rear support frame 3, compressor 4, condenser 5, rear cover 6, tray 7, loading cylinder 8, evaporator 9, motor 10, drive shaft 11, stirring blade 12, U-shaped groove 13, pipe hole 14, motor cover 15, insert block 16, slot 17, rectangular part 18, U-shaped part 19, heat dissipation hole 20, water receiving tray 21, beveled part 22, groove 23, decorative plate 24.

[0022] As attached Figure 1-6 As shown in the figure, this embodiment illustrates a double-bucket smoothie machine, which mainly includes a chassis 1 as an integral support structure. The chassis 1 is typically made of stamped and bent metal sheet, possessing sufficient structural strength to support all internal components. At the front and rear ends of the chassis 1, a front support frame 2 and a rear support frame 3 are respectively erected, which are firmly connected to the chassis 1 by screws or welding, together forming the main frame of the smoothie machine.

[0023] The core components of the refrigeration system, including the compressor 4 and the condenser 5, are rationally arranged in the rear area of ​​the chassis 1. The compressor 4 is responsible for compressing and delivering the refrigerant, while the condenser 5 is used to dissipate the heat of the refrigerant into the air. A rear cover 6 is installed on the chassis 1 to cover and protect the rear components such as the compressor 4 and the condenser 5, while also serving a safety and aesthetic purpose. Notably, in this embodiment, the rear cover 6 consists of a large rectangular portion 18 and two protruding U-shaped portions 19 located at the upper end of the rectangular portion 18. The positions of these two U-shaped portions 19 correspond precisely to the two internal motors 10, and their shape perfectly encloses and covers the rear of the motors 10. More importantly, each U-shaped portion 19 has a heat dissipation hole 20, which provides an efficient heat dissipation channel for the fan at the rear of the motor 10, ensuring the coolness and stability of the motor 10 during long-term operation.

[0024] It also includes a support plate 7. The longitudinal section of the support plate 7 is uniquely W-shaped, forming two parallel U-shaped grooves 13, providing precise positioning and stable support for the ice-discharging assembly above. The front and rear ends of the support plate 7 rest against and are fixed to the top of the front support frame 2 and the rear support frame 3, respectively, forming an installation platform. In addition, pipe holes 14 are provided at appropriate positions on the support plate 7 for the orderly passage of the coolant copper pipes of the refrigeration system, connecting the evaporator tank 9 at the front to the compressor 4 and condenser 5 at the rear, achieving neat internal wiring and system circulation.

[0025] The core of this embodiment lies in its dual-bucket design, with two sets of ice-dispensing components arranged side-by-side on a W-shaped tray 7. Each ice-dispensing component includes a filling cylinder 8 for holding the liquid raw materials to be made into ice. The top design of the filling cylinder 8 fully considers user experience and hygiene: its top sides feature beveled sections 22, and the front end has a clearly defined downward groove 23. This design effectively prevents powdery or viscous materials from accumulating on the flat edge of the cylinder opening, making it easy to wipe clean.

[0026] Inside the loading cylinder 8, an evaporator 9 is installed, forming a space between the evaporator 9 and the inner wall of the outer loading cylinder 8. The refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat within this space, thereby cooling the raw material in the space. The stirring blades 12 are fitted around the outside of the evaporator 9, located within the aforementioned space, and are driven to rotate by a motor 10 via a drive shaft 11. The motor 10 is not directly exposed but is protected by a motor cover 15. The connection between the motor cover 15 and the support plate 7 allows for quick installation and disassembly: inserts 16 are formed on both sides of the outer wall of the motor cover 15, while slots 17 are correspondingly provided on both sides of the U-shaped groove 13 of the support plate 7. During installation, simply align the inserts 16 on both sides of the motor cover 15 with the slots 17 and insert them downwards to achieve initial positioning and fixation, then tighten with a few screws, greatly simplifying the assembly process.

[0027] At the front end of the chassis 1, directly below the two filling cylinders 8, there are two water receiving trays 21. They are used to collect water droplets or spilled ingredients that may fall during the ice-making process, keeping the work surface clean and hygienic. Users can easily pull them out for cleaning.

[0028] To further enhance the overall aesthetics of the machine, a decorative panel 24 can be installed in the front space between the tray 7 and the chassis 1. This decorative panel 24 can effectively conceal internal pipes and irregular structures, making the product look cleaner and more attractive.

[0029] Working principle: After the user pours the raw materials into the loading cylinder 8 and starts the machine, the compressor 4 starts working. The refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat in the evaporator 9, cooling the raw materials. At the same time, the motor 10 drives the stirring blades 12 to rotate through the drive shaft 11, continuously scraping the outer wall of the evaporator 9 and stirring the raw materials, gradually freezing them into slush. The finished slush can be taken out from the outlet at the front end of the loading cylinder 8.

[0030] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model, and common knowledge regarding specific structures and characteristics is not elaborated upon here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. These modifications will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection claimed in this application shall be determined by the content of its claims, and the specific embodiments described in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
