[0028] 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.

[0029] See Figure 1-4 This utility model discloses a storage device for cold beverage equipment, including a storage container and an opening and closing mechanism 3. The bottom of the storage container is provided with a discharge port, and the opening and closing mechanism 3 is used to open or close the discharge port.

[0030] The opening and closing mechanism 3 is located on the discharge port, and the opening and closing mechanism 3 and the storage container can be detachably connected.

[0031] This utility model relates to a storage device for cold beverage equipment, which includes a storage container and an opening and closing mechanism. The opening and closing mechanism can be detached from the storage container from the discharge port at the bottom of the storage container. This allows for separate cleaning of the opening and closing mechanism, as well as cleaning of the storage container through the discharge port. This avoids problems such as the inability to effectively clean the connection between the storage container and the opening and closing mechanism, and the existence of unsanitary corners, which can be caused by the inability to separate them. This enables effective and comprehensive cleaning and is also easy to clean.

[0032] Specifically, the storage container includes a storage body 1 and a connecting body 2. The opening and closing mechanism 3 is detachably connected to the storage body 1 via the connecting body 2. The opening and closing mechanism is installed at the bottom of the storage body via the connecting body, and its detachable connection facilitates cleaning of the storage body from the discharge port, resulting in a more thorough and cleaner cleaning. Simultaneously, the opening and closing mechanism can also be cleaned separately, ensuring a more thorough and clean cleaning, achieving effective and comprehensive cleaning, and facilitating overall cleaning.

[0033] It should be noted that this utility model includes three embodiments, and the difference between these three embodiments lies in the connection relationship between the storage body, the connecting body, and the opening and closing mechanism.

[0034] First embodiment: as follows Figure 1 As shown, the storage body 1 and the connecting body 2 are integrally formed, while the connecting body 2 and the opening and closing mechanism 3 are detachably connected. The discharge port is located at the bottom of the connecting body, and the opening and closing mechanism is also located at the bottom of the connecting body. The opening and closing mechanism and the connecting body are detachable, allowing for cleaning of the interior of both the storage body and the connecting body through the discharge port at the bottom of the connecting body, and also enabling separate cleaning of the opening and closing mechanism.

[0035] Second embodiment: as follows Figure 1 As shown, the storage body 1 and the connecting body 2 are detachably connected, while the connecting body 2 and the opening and closing mechanism 3 are integrally formed. The discharge port is located at the bottom of the storage body, and the opening and closing mechanism is located at the bottom of the connecting body. The storage body and the connecting body are detachable, allowing for cleaning of the interior of the storage body through the discharge port at the bottom of the storage body, as well as cleaning of the connecting body and the opening and closing mechanism.

[0036] Third embodiment: as follows Figure 2-4 As shown, the storage body 1 and the connecting body 2 are detachably connected, and the connecting body 2 and the opening and closing mechanism 3 are detachably connected. The storage body and the connecting body, as well as the connecting body and the opening and closing mechanism, can be separated, allowing for individual cleaning of each. This results in more comprehensive and effective cleaning, better cleaning results, and easier cleaning, reducing the possibility of unsanitary areas and further lowering the difficulty of cleaning.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, the discharge port includes a first discharge port 11 located at the bottom of the storage body 1 and a second discharge port 23 located at the bottom of the connecting body 2; the connecting body 2 is provided with a material guiding channel 22, and the first discharge port 11, the material guiding channel 22, and the second discharge port 23 are sequentially connected, with the opening and closing mechanism 3 located on the second discharge port 23. The raw material in the storage body flows sequentially through the first discharge port and the material guiding channel. When the opening and closing mechanism opens the second discharge port, the raw material can flow out of the connecting body through the second discharge port; when the opening and closing mechanism closes the second discharge port, the raw material cannot flow into the second discharge port and can only remain in the material guiding channel.

[0038] Preferably, the top of the connecting body 2 is provided with an inlet (not shown in the figure) adapted to the first outlet 11, and the diameters of both the first outlet 11 and the inlet are 50-120mm. More preferably, the diameters of both the first outlet 11 and the inlet are 60-110mm. More preferably, the diameters of both the first outlet 11 and the inlet are 70-100mm. More preferably, the diameters of both the first outlet 11 and the inlet are 80-90mm. This limitation in the size of the first outlet and the inlet, besides ensuring their matching and effective connection between the storage body and the connecting body, also facilitates cleaning by the user by inserting cleaning tools or their hands into the storage body and the connecting body.

[0039] Priority, such as Figure 3 As shown, the top of the connecting body 2 is provided with a connecting sleeve 21, which is sleeved outside the first discharge port 11 and can be detachably connected to the storage body 1; Figure 4 As shown, the opening and closing mechanism 3 includes a connecting sleeve 31 and an opening and closing body 32. The connecting sleeve 31 is sleeved outside the second discharge port 23 and can be detachably connected to the connecting body 2. The opening and closing body 32 passes through the second discharge port 23.

[0040] Specifically, the connecting sleeve is fitted outside the first discharge port. The storage body has an external thread at a corresponding position outside the first discharge port, and the connecting sleeve has an internal thread. The connecting sleeve and the storage body are threadedly connected, enabling the storage body and the connecting body to connect or separate. Similarly, the connecting sleeve is fitted outside the second discharge port. The connecting body has an external thread at a corresponding position outside the second discharge port, and the connecting sleeve has an internal thread. The connecting sleeve and the connecting body are threadedly connected, enabling the opening and closing mechanism and the connecting body to connect or separate. The opening and closing mechanism passes through the second discharge port, enabling the second discharge port to open or close. In other words, the storage body and the connecting body, as well as the connecting body and the opening and closing mechanism, are separable connected via threaded connections, resulting in a simple and reliable structure.

[0041] Preferably, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, the connecting sleeve 21 is provided with a first sealing element 4 for sealing the first discharge port 11, and the connecting sleeve 31 is provided with a second sealing element 5 for sealing the second discharge port 23. The first and second sealing elements are provided to prevent leakage at the first and second discharge ports. Both the first and second sealing elements are sealing rings made of silicone or rubber.

[0042] The diameter of the first discharge port 11 is larger than the diameter of the second discharge port 23. The diameter of the guide channel is smaller than the diameter of the first discharge port but larger than the diameter of the second discharge port. That is, the cross-sectional areas of the first discharge port, the guide channel, and the second discharge port decrease sequentially, so that the liquid raw material generates a certain potential energy as it flows from the first discharge port to the second discharge port, and automatically flows into the second discharge port.

[0043] Preferably, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, the connecting body 2 is provided with a first guide platform 24 and a second guide platform 25. The first guide platform 24 is located above the guide channel 22; the second guide platform 25 is located above the second outlet 23. The first guide platform and the first outlet are correspondingly arranged, with the first guide platform arranged around the top inlet of the guide channel. When raw material flows into the connecting body from the first outlet, the first guide platform buffers part of the raw material, reducing the flow rate of some raw material and preventing the impact force of the raw material from damaging the connecting body and the opening and closing mechanism. The second guide platform is located at the bottom of the guide channel and is arranged around the second outlet. Similarly, the second guide platform buffers part of the raw material flowing into the second outlet, further reducing the flow rate of some raw material and preventing damage to the opening and closing mechanism.

[0044] Better, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, the inner sidewall of the connecting body 2 is provided with a first guide arc surface 241 and a second guide arc surface 251. The first guide arc surface 241 is connected to the first guide platform 24 to guide the raw material into the guide channel 22; the second guide arc surface 251 is connected to the second guide platform 25 to guide the raw material into the second discharge port 23.

[0045] This invention utilizes curved surfaces to guide the flow of raw materials, thereby changing the direction of the fluid. For example, raw materials on the first guide platform are guided and diverted into the guide channel by the first guide curved surface, while raw materials on the second guide platform are guided and diverted into the second discharge port by the second guide curved surface. The design of the guide curved surfaces allows the raw materials to flow automatically and rapidly from the storage body into the second discharge port.

[0046] Accordingly, see Figure 5This utility model also discloses a cold drink device, including a body 10 and the aforementioned storage device for cold drinks installed on the top of the body 10. The specific structure of the storage device for cold drinks is as described above and will not be repeated here. The storage device is installed on the top of the body, and its bottom opening and closing mechanism contacts the water receiving tray below it. The actuating component of the water receiving tray lifts the opening and closing body, thereby opening the opening and closing mechanism, that is, opening the second discharge port, so that the raw materials in the storage body are injected into the water receiving tray from the second discharge port. The evaporator on the body is started, and the evaporator rotates, bringing the raw materials in the water receiving tray to its surface. After condensation, ice is formed, and then the ice on the surface of the evaporator is scraped off by a scraper to form slush.

[0047] In summary, this utility model provides a storage device and a beverage equipment for use in cold beverage equipment, which is effective and easy to clean.

[0048] 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.
