Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smoothie machine technology, specifically to a support structure for a smoothie machine. Background Technology

[0002] A smoothie maker is a widely used piece of equipment in the catering industry, primarily used to quickly blend ingredients such as ice and fruit into a smooth smoothie or beverage. Existing smoothie makers typically include a motor, blade assembly, blending cup, and tray. The tray, as a support component, is mainly used to fix the motor and blending cup, ensuring the stability of the equipment during high-speed operation.

[0003] In existing technologies, the pallet of a smoothie machine typically uses a long, strip-shaped structure extending from the front end (where the mixing cup is installed) to below the motor. However, this section of the pallet below the motor has not proven effective in practical use; instead, it increases the overall size and material cost of the equipment, and may also affect its compactness and ease of movement. Furthermore, existing pallets often employ a spliced ​​structure, such as multiple plates connected by welding or bolts. While this structure reduces manufacturing difficulty, it is prone to loosening or breakage at the joints due to vibration or impact under long-term high-load operation, affecting the stability and lifespan of the equipment.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the pallet structure of existing smoothie machines, reduce redundant design to improve space utilization, and improve its structural strength, thereby enhancing the reliability and durability of the equipment. Utility Model Content
