[0031] This embodiment is basically as shown in the appendix. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 9 As shown: A snow melting machine with a locking handle includes a snow melting machine body 100, a material cylinder 200 adapted to the snow melting machine body 100, a handle 300 rotatably connected to the material cylinder 200, a locking groove 301 on the handle 300, and a latch 101 on the snow melting machine body 100. In this embodiment, a motor base 110 is adapted to the snow melting machine body 100, and the latch 101 is located on the side wall of the motor base 110.

[0032] In the above technical solution, the handle 300 has a locked state and a detached state. When the handle 300 is in the locked state, the latch 101 is locked in the locking groove 301. When the handle 300 is flipped outward, the locking groove 301 gradually disengages from the latch 101, and the handle 300 gradually pushes the material cylinder 200 outward until the handle 300 is in the detached state. When the handle 300 is rotated and pressed towards the motor base 110, the handle 300 gradually enters the locked state, that is, the material cylinder 200 is locked onto the motor base 110. When the handle 300 is opened in the opposite direction away from the motor base 110, the handle 300 gradually enters the detached state, that is, the locking groove 301 and the latch 101 are in a disengaged and locked relationship. At this time, the material cylinder 200 can be removed from the snow melting machine body 100, which is more convenient to operate.

[0033] Specifically, the locking groove 301 has a groove 302, and the latch 101 gradually enters the interior of the locking groove 301 through the groove 302 so that the latch 101 can move through the path of the locking groove 301; the locking groove 301 is arranged in an arc shape, and the side wall edge of the locking groove 301 has a first guide surface 303 and a second guide surface 304, both of which are curved.

[0034] To facilitate the formation of an interference fit point, that is, to further limit and lock the latch 101, making the locking between the latch 101 and the locking groove 301 more stable, in this embodiment, a first protrusion 305 is provided between the end of the locking groove 301 and the first guide surface 303; furthermore, a second protrusion 306 is provided between the groove opening 302 of the locking groove 301 and the second guide surface 304, so that during the process of unloading the material cylinder 200, based on the compression of the second protrusion 306, the material cylinder 200 can be passively pushed a distance to the outside of the snow melting machine body, so as to facilitate the effective unloading of the material cylinder 200 and convenient handling.

[0035] The material cylinder 200 is provided with a positioning element 210, which is used to rotate and support the handle 300. There are two positioning elements 210 on both sides of the material cylinder 200. The two ends of the handle 300 are respectively rotated and supported on both sides of the material cylinder 200. By rotating the handle 300 onto the material cylinder 200, it is convenient to pick up or move the material cylinder 200 after it is detached, making it more convenient to use.

[0036] Furthermore, the positioning member 210 has a limiting part 211, and the handle 300 has a rotating groove 310. One end of the positioning member 210 passes through the rotating groove 310, and the limiting part 211 is limited and supported at the bottom of the rotating groove 310. Specifically, the rotating groove 310 has a communicating shaft hole 311 and an insertion hole 312. The shape of the insertion hole 312 is adapted to the limiting part 211, and the positioning member 210 is rotatably supported on the corresponding shaft hole 311.

[0037] When the handle 300 is switched from the locked state to the detached state, or from the detached state to the locked state, the limiting part 211 and the bottom of the rotating groove 310 move relative to each other, so that part of the bottom of the groove forms a path area and the other part of the bottom of the groove forms a blind area. The insertion hole 312 is arranged in the area of ​​the blind area. This makes it easier to prevent the limiting part 211 from disengaging from the insertion hole 312 when the handle 300 is flipped and used after the material cylinder 200 is adapted and installed on the snow melting machine body 100. That is, it prevents the handle 300 from falling off the material cylinder 200 during use, thereby improving its overall stability.

[0038] Specifically, the basics are as follows (attached). Figure 4 As shown, when the material cylinder 200 is locked on the snow melting machine body 100, the limiting part 211 is arranged horizontally, and the end of the limiting part 211 points to the motor base 110, and the insertion hole 312 is in a state of tilting upward from the material cylinder 200 to the motor base 110.

[0039] In this embodiment, the handle 300 includes two connecting sections 320, and an operating section 330 is connected between the two connecting sections 320. The rotating groove 310 and the locking groove 301 are located on the connecting section 320. That is, each connecting section 320 has a rotating groove 310 and a locking groove 301. The structure of the operating section 330 is arranged in an arc shape, and the overall shape of the handle 300 is adapted to fit the shape of the motor base 110. In use, the handle 300 rotates or flips with the two positioning members 210 as support points.

[0040] Furthermore, the handle 300 has an extension portion 331 located on the operating section 330. The inner wall of the extension portion 331 has a concave surface 332 so that the user's hand has a corresponding gripping point after being inserted, making it easy to apply external force to achieve convenient operation and flip the handle 300.

[0041] To improve the ease of use and strength of the handle 300, in this embodiment, the connecting segment 320 is elliptical in shape. The elliptical connecting segment 320 is more visually obvious, and has relatively higher strength and longer length, making it easier to apply external force to the handle 300, thus making the handle 300 relatively less strenuous to use.

[0042] Furthermore, the handle 300 features a one-piece design, resulting in higher structural strength.

[0043] It should be noted that the other internal structures of the snow melting machine and their corresponding control structures in this embodiment are existing technologies, and their detailed structures and principles will not be described here.

[0044] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model. Commonly known technical solutions and / or characteristics are not described in detail here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the technical solution of this utility model. These modifications and improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model, and 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 should 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.
