Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material storage and receiving, and in particular to a material storage and receiving device for cold beverage equipment and cold beverage equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Existing slush ice machines are used to make shaved ice. The shaved ice is added to a beverage to create a frozen drink. A typical slush ice machine includes an evaporator, a receiving tray, and a storage tank. The storage tank has a discharge port at the bottom with a valve. A switch rod is located inside the receiving tray, and the evaporator is situated within the receiving tray. When the storage tank is placed on the machine, the switch rod contacts the valve, lifting it and opening the discharge port. The ice-making ingredients in the storage tank flow into the receiving tray through the discharge port. The portion of the evaporator in the receiving tray comes into contact with the ice-making ingredients. The evaporator starts, and its outer shell rotates, bringing the ice-making ingredients to its surface. These ingredients condense on the evaporator surface, and a scraper then removes the ice from the evaporator, forming shaved ice.

[0003] The switch column and the switch valve are merely in contact, without any mutual limiting or other structure to effectively limit the switch column. Therefore, during the operation of the shaved ice machine, users can freely remove the receiving tray, which not only affects the normal operation of the shaved ice machine but also poses certain safety hazards.

[0024] This utility model relates to a material storage and receiving device for cold beverage equipment. A limiting structure restricts the receiving mechanism, preventing it from being arbitrarily removed and limiting its movement. This ensures the normal operation of the shaved ice machine and improves safety. Specifically, the storage mechanism has a first adapter, and the receiving mechanism has a second adapter.

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following will describe this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," and "outer," etc., appearing or about to appear in this document, are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.

[0033] See Figure 1-6 This utility model discloses a material storage and receiving device for cold beverage equipment, comprising:

[0034] Storage mechanism 10 is used to hold materials;

[0035] The receiving mechanism 20 is used to receive materials stored inside the storage mechanism 10; the receiving mechanism 20 is located below the storage mechanism 10.

[0036] A limiting structure is provided between the storage mechanism 10 and the receiving mechanism 20. The limiting structure includes a first adapter provided on the storage mechanism 10 and a second adapter provided on the receiving mechanism 20. The first adapter and the second adapter cooperate to fix the relative position between the storage mechanism 10 and the receiving mechanism 20.

[0037] This utility model relates to a material storage and receiving device for cold beverage equipment. A limiting structure restricts the receiving mechanism, preventing it from being arbitrarily removed and limiting its movement. This ensures the normal operation of the shaved ice machine and improves safety. Specifically, the storage mechanism has a first adapter, and the receiving mechanism has a second adapter. The first and second adapters work together to fix the relative positions of the storage and receiving mechanisms. This utilizes the storage mechanism to limit the receiving mechanism, preventing it from being arbitrarily removed during use, ensuring normal equipment operation and preventing damage. Furthermore, it reduces the number of components; the first and second adapters are located on the storage and receiving mechanisms respectively, eliminating the need for a separate limiting structure, resulting in low cost and minimal space occupation. Finally, it improves safety.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, the storage mechanism 10 includes a storage body 1 and an opener / closer 30 located at the bottom of the storage body 1. The opener / closer 30 includes an opening / closing assembly, which includes an opening / closing rod 3. The first adapter is a limiting member 31 located on the opening / closing rod 3. The receiving mechanism 20 includes a receiving body 7, and the second adapter is an opening / closing column 8 located on the receiving body 7. The opening / closing column 8 can be connected to the limiting member 31. When the storage mechanism and the receiving mechanism are installed on the machine body respectively, the opening / closing column and the limiting member are connected. At this time, the receiving mechanism cannot be removed separately, which avoids the possibility of the receiving mechanism being removed at will during equipment operation and affecting the normal operation of the equipment, thus improving the safety of use.

[0039] More specifically, such as Figure 3-6As shown, the storage body 1 has a discharge port 11 at its bottom, and the opening and closing device 30 is installed at the discharge port 11. The opening and closing device 30 is used to open and close the discharge port 11. The limiting member 31 has a limiting groove 32. The opening and closing column 8 can be inserted into the limiting groove 32 and abuts against the limiting member 31. The opening and closing column is inserted into the limiting groove, so that the position between the storage mechanism and the receiving mechanism is relatively fixed, that is, the storage mechanism is limited to the receiving mechanism. At the same time, the opening and closing column also lifts the limiting member, so that the opening and closing column moves upward, thereby opening the discharge port, allowing the material in the storage body to flow out of the storage body and be received by the receiving body.

[0040] It should be noted that, as Figure 3 , 6 As shown, the opening and closing assembly also includes a sealing element 5 disposed on the opening and closing rod 3. The sealing element 5 is used to open and close the discharge chamber 211. The opening and closing rod moves, causing the sealing element to move synchronously. When the opening and closing rod is lifted, the sealing element is also lifted, opening the opening that originally covered the top of the discharge chamber, which communicates with the interior of the storage body, thus opening the discharge port. The material in the storage body flows out of the storage body through this opening, i.e., into the receiving body.

[0041] Among them, such as Figure 3 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, the opening and closing device 30 further includes an opening and closing body 2. The opening and closing body 2 includes a discharge sleeve 21 disposed within the discharge port 11. The discharge sleeve 21 has a discharge cavity 211 communicating with the interior of the storage body 1. The opening and closing assembly is disposed within the discharge cavity 211. The opening and closing assembly is movably connected to the discharge sleeve 21 via a guide member 23. That is, the storage body 1 and the discharge cavity 211 are connected, and the raw material flows outward through the discharge cavity. The discharge cavity penetrates the upper and lower end faces of the discharge sleeve. Specifically, the opening and closing rod is movably connected to the discharge sleeve via a guide member. The guide member is sleeved on the opening and closing rod, and the opening and closing rod can move up and down within the guide sleeve. The guide member provides a certain guiding effect for the movement of the opening and closing rod.

[0042] Preferably, such as Figure 3 , 6 As shown, the opening and closing assembly also includes a return spring 6, which is sleeved on the opening and closing rod 3. One end of the return spring 6 abuts against the guide member 23, and the other end abuts against the limiting member 31. When the opening and closing rod is lifted, it moves the sealing member, causing the sealing member and the discharge sleeve to separate, thereby opening the discharge port and compressing the return spring. When the opening and closing rod and the limiting sleeve separate, the return spring returns to its original state and pushes the limiting member to reset, causing the opening and closing rod and the sealing member to move synchronously, and the sealing member re-closes the discharge sleeve, that is, the discharge port is re-closed. Therefore, the return spring enables the opening and closing assembly to automatically reset and automatically close the discharge port without manual intervention.

[0043] Preferably, such as Figure 3 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, the opening and closing body also includes a connector 22, and the discharge sleeve 21 is connected to the storage body 1 through the connector 22. Specifically, the connector 22 is sleeved outside the discharge port 11 and threadedly connected to the storage body 1, so that the discharge sleeve is fixed inside the discharge port, thereby realizing the fixed installation of the opening and closing body at the discharge port and providing effective support for the opening and closing assembly.

[0044] Better, such as Figure 6 As shown, the connector 22 has a connecting groove 221, and the storage body 1 is inserted into the connecting groove 221 and connected to the connector 22. The storage body has an external thread, and the connector has an internal thread. The storage body is inserted into the connecting groove, and the storage body and the connector are threadedly connected to ensure that the opening and closing body is stably and reliably installed at the discharge port, providing effective support for the opening and closing assembly to realize the opening and closing of the discharge port.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, the opening and closing assembly also includes a reinforcing member 4 for increasing the strength of the opening and closing rod 3. The reinforcing member 4 is disposed on the outer wall of the limiting member 31. Specifically, the limiting member 31 is disposed within the discharge chamber 211. The reinforcing member strengthens the limiting sleeve, preventing it from breaking due to the action of the opening and closing rod on the limiting sleeve when the user removes the receiving mechanism separately. Moreover, the cooperation between the reinforcing member and the discharge sleeve reduces the gap between the limiting member and the discharge sleeve, reduces the space for lateral movement of the limiting sleeve, prevents deformation of the opening and closing rod, and ensures the normal operation of the opening and closing mechanism.

[0046] Preferably, such as Figure 6 As shown, the reinforcing member 4 includes reinforcing ribs 41 and connecting strips 42. The reinforcing ribs 41 are arranged around the perimeter of the limiting member 31, and the reinforcing ribs 41 are connected to the limiting member 31 through the connecting strips 42. Several connecting strips are arranged at intervals, increasing the connection strength between the reinforcing ribs and the limiting member, thereby increasing the overall strength of the opening and closing rod, preventing damage to the opening and closing device under external forces, and extending the service life of the opening and closing mechanism.

[0047] Accordingly, see Figure 7 This utility model also discloses a cold drink equipment, including a body 40 and the aforementioned material storage and receiving device for cold drink equipment. Both the material storage mechanism 10 and the material receiving mechanism 20 are mounted on the body 40. The specific structure of the material storage and receiving device for cold drink equipment is as described above and will not be repeated here.

[0048] The working process of this utility model's cold drink equipment is as follows: The receiving mechanism 20 is first installed on the machine body 40, and then the storage mechanism 10 is placed in the designated position on the machine body 40. At this time, the opening and closing column 8 is inserted into the limiting groove 32 and lifts the limiting member 31, that is, the opening and closing rod 3 and the sealing member 5 are lifted, the discharge port 11 is opened, and the raw material in the storage body 1 flows into the receiving body 7. The evaporator is started to condense the raw material into ice, thereby producing shaved ice. The opening and closing column is inserted into the limiting groove of the limiting member, thus limiting the receiving mechanism, preventing the user from arbitrarily removing the receiving mechanism from the machine body. Only after stopping the machine, by first lifting the storage mechanism upwards, separating the limiting member and the opening and closing column, and the limiting member returning to its original position under the action of the return spring, causing the sealing member to re-close the discharge port, can the user then remove the receiving mechanism from the machine body.

[0049] In summary, this utility model provides a material storage and receiving device for cold beverage equipment and the cold beverage equipment itself, which restricts the movement of the receiving mechanism and improves the safety of use.

[0050] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
