Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice blender technology, specifically to a rotating and folding storage structure for the handle of an ice blender. Background Technology

[0002] A slush machine is a specialized cold beverage processing device used to make slushies. It is widely used in beverage shops, dessert shops, coffee shops, and homes. Its core function is to grind ice cubes or frozen ingredients into a fine slushy texture. The handles of existing ice slush machines are generally designed to be directly fixed to the ice slush chamber. While this structure is simple and reliable, it has significant drawbacks: because the handles cannot be folded, they will always protrude from the machine body when the equipment is not in use or during transportation, taking up extra storage space. For example, when stacking on shelves or transporting in boxes, the protruding handles will prevent the equipment from being arranged tightly, increasing storage space or transportation costs. Furthermore, because the handles are exposed and lack protection, they are prone to collisions with other items during movement, such as contact with walls or shelf corners during handling. After long-term use, the handles are prone to deformation or even breakage due to collisions, directly affecting the normal use and lifespan of the equipment.

[0003] In view of this, we propose a rotating and folding storage structure for the handle of an ice blender. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a rotating and folding storage structure for the handle of an ice blender. This rotating and folding storage structure for the handle of an ice blender solves the problem that the handle of an existing ice blender cannot be folded because it is directly fixed to the ice blending chamber, causing the handle to protrude from the outside of the machine body during storage or transportation and easily deformed due to collision.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A rotating and folding storage structure for a slush machine handle includes a body, a handle, and an slush-making chamber. The slush-making chamber has a handle mechanism for convenient storage. The handle mechanism includes a protruding block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slush-making chamber. The inner wall of the protruding block has an output groove and a receiving chamber. The output groove communicates with the inner wall of the slush-making chamber. A sealing element is piston-connected to the inner wall of the output groove. A hollow block is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing element. A fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protruding block. A driving element is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixed shaft. A spring is mounted on the fixed shaft. One end of spring one is fixedly connected to a fixed shaft, and the other end of spring one is fixedly connected to the driving member. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the driving member, and spring two is provided on the outer wall of the connecting plate.

The inner wall of the handle is slidably connected to the connecting plate. The end of the driving member away from the handle is located on the inner wall of the hollow block. A limiting mechanism is provided on the driving member. The limiting mechanism is used to lock and limit the driving member when it moves to the top of the handle. A protective mechanism is provided on the ice-making sand chamber. The protective mechanism is used to cover the handle after it is stored.

[0006] Preferably, the top of the machine body is fixedly connected to the ice-making sand chamber. The limiting mechanism includes a limiting groove, which is formed on the top inner wall of the handle. A hollow disc is fixedly connected to the top of the active component. A spring is provided on the inner wall of the hollow disc. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow disc, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to a limiting block. A guide post is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow disc.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a rotating and folding storage structure for the handle of an ice blender, including a body 1, a handle 311, and an ice blending chamber 2. The ice blending chamber 2 is provided with a handle mechanism 3, which facilitates the storage and use of the handle 311. The handle mechanism 3 includes a protrusion 31, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the ice blending chamber 2. The inner wall of the protrusion 31 has an output groove 32 and a receiving chamber 33. The output groove 32 communicates with the inner wall of the ice blending chamber 2 for discharging ice blends. A piston is connected to a seal 35 on the inner wall of the output slot 32. A hollow block 36 is fixedly connected to the top of the seal 35. A fixed shaft 34 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protrusion 31. An active member 38 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixed shaft 34. A spring 37 is installed on the fixed shaft 34. One end of the spring 37 is fixedly connected to the fixed shaft 34, and the other end is fixedly connected to the active member 38. A connecting plate 39 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the active member 38. A spring 310 is installed on the outer wall of the connecting plate 39. One end of spring 310 is fixedly connected to the top of connecting plate 39, and the other end of spring 310 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of handle 311. The inner wall of handle 311 is slidably connected to connecting plate 39. The end of driving member 38 away from handle 311 is located on the inner wall of hollow block 36. Rotating handle 311 drives connecting plate 39 to rotate, which in turn drives driving member 38 to rotate. This causes the end of driving member 38 away from handle 311 to tilt upward, lifting hollow block 36 and sealing member 35. At this time, spring 37 stores force, and the sealing member... 35. The bottom of the output slot 32 is exposed upwards, and the ice sand in the ice sand chamber 2 can be output through the output slot 32. When not in use, press the handle 311 downwards into the inner wall of the receiving chamber 33, so that the spring 310 is compressed. At this time, the handle 311 is folded and stored. The active member 38 is provided with a limit mechanism 5, which is used to lock and limit the active member 38 when it moves to the top of the handle 311. The ice sand chamber 2 is provided with a protective mechanism 4, which is used to cover the handle 311 after it is stored.

[0018] The top of the body 1 is fixedly connected to the ice-making sand chamber 2. The limiting mechanism 5 includes a limiting groove 51, which is formed on the top inner wall of the handle 311. A hollow disc 52 is fixedly connected to the top of the active component 38. A spring 53 is provided on the inner wall of the hollow disc 52. One end of the spring 53 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow disc 52, and the other end of the spring 53 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 54. A guide post 55 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow disc 52. The outer wall of the column 55 is slidably connected to the limiting block 54. The limiting block 54 has an inclined surface. When the handle 311 is pressed down, the limiting groove 51 at the top of the handle 311 also moves down until the handle 311 presses against the inclined surface on the limiting block 54, causing the limiting block 54 to compress the spring 3 53. Then, under the action of the spring 3 53, the limiting block 54 extends into the limiting groove 51 to prevent the handle 311 from rising. When it is necessary to release the limit, the limiting block 54 can be slid away from the limiting groove 51.

[0019] The protective mechanism 4 includes a sealing cover 41 with a slot. The sealing cover 41 serves as the main structure of the protective mechanism 4. By covering the relevant area of ​​the handle mechanism 3 through the slot, it plays a role in preventing dust and impurities. A magnetic strip 42 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing cover 41, and a magnetic strip 43 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the ice sand chamber 2. The magnetic strip 42 and the magnetic strip 43 are respectively fixed to the inner wall of the sealing cover 41 and the side wall of the ice sand chamber 2. The sealing cover 41 and the ice sand chamber 2 are tightly fitted by using the principle of magnetic adsorption. This design can avoid the inconvenience of disassembly and assembly caused by using rigid connections such as bolts. They can be separated by external force when maintenance or operation is required.

[0020] A deep groove ball bearing is provided at the rotational connection between the driving component 38 and the fixed shaft 34. The inner ring of the bearing is interference-fitted with the fixed shaft 34, and the outer ring is clearance-fitted with the driving component 38. The handle section of the handle 311 has an arc-shaped structure and is covered with a silicone anti-slip layer. The surface is provided with horizontal stripes. The sealing cover 41 is made of transparent ABS plastic. The size of the receiving cavity matches the outer contour of the handle 311 after folding. The inner wall of the receiving chamber 33 is provided with a cushioning pad made of EVA to reduce shock and noise when the handle 311 is folded. The edge of the sealing cover 41 is provided with a flange structure to enhance the structural strength of the sealing cover 41. The outer wall of the sealing component 35 is fitted with an O-ring made of nitrile rubber. The bottom of the sealing cover 41 is provided with a drain hole to drain internal water and prevent mold growth.

[0021] This utility model discloses a rotating and folding storage structure for the handle of an ice blender. When the handle 311 is needed to dispense ice blends, the user grips the arc-shaped handle of 311 and rotates it outwards. The inner wall of the handle 311 slides against the connecting plate 39, causing the connecting plate 39 and the fixedly connected driving member 38 to rotate around the fixed axis 34. The end of the driving member 38 away from the handle 311 tilts upwards, pushing the hollow block 36 and the sealing member 35 upwards. The spring 37 is stretched and stores force, and the sealing member 35 faces upwards on the inner wall of the output slot 32. The bottom opening of the output slot 32 opens, and the ice blends in the ice blending chamber 2 are dispensed through the output slot 32. When not in use, the user presses the handle 311 downwards, causing it to slide along the connecting plate 39 and compress the spring 310. As the handle 31 gradually enters the receiving compartment 33 on the inner wall of the protrusion 31, the limiting groove 51 on the top inner wall of the handle 311 moves down simultaneously, squeezing the inclined surface of the limiting block 54. Under the guidance of the guide post 55, the limiting block 54 compresses the spring 3 53 and retracts into the hollow disc 52. When the handle 311 is fully retracted, the spring 3 53 rebounds and pushes the limiting block 54 into the limiting groove 51, preventing the handle 311 from automatically rising due to the elastic force of the spring 2 310. Finally, the user covers the handle mechanism 3 with the sealing cover 41. The magnetic strip 1 42 on its inner wall and the magnetic strip 2 43 on the side wall of the ice sand chamber 2 are attracted by opposite poles and fit tightly together. The slot of the sealing cover 41 covers the relevant area of ​​the handle mechanism 3 to prevent dust and impurities. The bottom drain hole drains the internal water to prevent mold growth. The edge flange structure enhances the strength of the sealing cover 41.
