Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slush machine technology, and in particular to a discharge device for a slush machine and a slush machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of cold beverage preparation equipment, smoothie machines, which can quickly turn liquid raw materials into smoothies or similar frozen drinks, are widely used in commercial settings and homes. Existing smoothie machines generally produce smoothies by incorporating a motor, a feeding device, and a cooling mechanism within a storage cylinder. The bottom of the cylinder has a smoothie discharge port, and the smoothie is discharged through a discharging device after preparation. As a core component of the smoothie machine, the design of the discharging device directly affects the ease of operation, production costs, and user experience.
[0003] Existing slush machine dispensing devices generally use piston valves to open and close the slush dispensing port. For example, Chinese invention patent application number 202410556858.X discloses a dual-purpose vertical slush machine whose dispensing assembly controls dispensing through a linkage between a piston and a movable handle. Specifically, this dispensing assembly includes a dispensing cylinder, a dispensing valve, and a movable handle. The dispensing valve consists of an interconnected baffle and a piston. The baffle blocks the connection at the bottom of the storage cylinder, while the piston slides within the dispensing channel to block the dispensing port. When dispensing is needed, swinging the movable handle moves the piston and baffle, opening the connection and dispensing port to allow slush or ice cream to be discharged. However, the existing discharge devices have the following drawbacks: the discharge devices require multiple components such as piston rods, baffles, and movable handles to achieve discharge control, resulting in a complex overall structure and high production costs; in addition, to achieve automatic piston rod reset, the existing discharge devices need to install an elastic reset component (such as a spring) between the piston rod and the movable handle. Users need to overcome the elastic force to swing the movable handle during operation, which is laborious and can easily cause fatigue with long-term use, affecting the ease of operation.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the problems of complex structure and laborious operation of the existing ice smoothie machine discharge device, there is an urgent need to design a discharge device with a simplified structure and easy operation to meet the actual application needs of ice smoothie machines. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a discharge device for a smoothie machine, which has a simple overall structure and is easy and labor-saving to operate, effectively solving the problems of complex structure, high production cost and laborious operation of the discharge device in the prior art.
[0006] The purpose of this invention is also to provide a smoothie machine, including the aforementioned discharge device. The discharge device has a simple overall structure and is easy and labor-saving to operate, effectively solving the problems of complex structure, high production cost, and laborious operation of discharge devices in the prior art.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a discharge device for a smoothie machine, including a discharge body and a switching mechanism. The discharge body is provided with a smoothie inlet and a smoothie outlet. The smoothie inlet is used to connect with the smoothie discharge port of the storage cylinder, and the smoothie outlet is used to connect with the outside of the smoothie machine.
[0008] The switching mechanism is rotatably installed inside the discharge body, and a feeding channel is provided inside the switching mechanism; by rotating the switching mechanism, the ice slush inlet and the ice slush outlet are connected through the feeding channel, or the ice slush inlet and the ice slush outlet are separated by the switching mechanism.
[0009] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the ice smoothie inlet and the ice smoothie outlet are respectively located at the top and bottom of the discharge body, and the ice smoothie inlet and the ice smoothie outlet are staggered.
[0010] The feeding channel is inclinedly disposed inside the switching mechanism.
[0011] As an improvement to the above technical solution, one end of the discharge body is provided with a first connecting part for connecting the switching mechanism, and one end of the switching mechanism is rotatably mounted on the first connecting part.
[0012] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the first connecting part is provided with a movable hole, and the inside of the switching mechanism is provided with a second connecting member for cooperating and connecting with the first connecting part, and one end of the second connecting member is movably assembled in the movable hole;
[0013] The discharge device for the smoothie machine also includes a fixing member, one end of which is located outside the movable hole and engaged with the first connecting part, and the other end of which passes through the movable hole and is fixedly connected to the second connecting member.
[0014] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the fixing member includes a limiting part and a third connecting part, wherein the third connecting part is disposed on the side of the limiting part facing the switching mechanism;
[0015] The limiting part is located outside the movable hole, and the third connecting part passes through the movable hole and is fixedly connected to the second connecting member;
[0016] The width or diameter of the limiting part is greater than the diameter of the movable hole.
[0017] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the opening end of the discharge body is provided with a rotation limiting notch by cutting, and the outer side wall of the switching mechanism is provided with a limiting protrusion that cooperates with the rotation limiting notch. The limiting protrusion is installed in the rotation limiting notch.
[0018] The two ends of the rotating limiting notch are the first stroke end point and the second stroke end point, respectively. When the switching mechanism is rotated so that the limiting protrusion contacts the first stroke end point, the input port and output port of the feeding channel are aligned with the ice slush inlet and the ice slush outlet, respectively. When the switching mechanism is rotated so that the limiting protrusion contacts the second stroke end point, the ice slush inlet and the ice slush outlet are completely separated by the switching mechanism.
[0019] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a rotary handle is provided on one side of the switching mechanism.
[0020] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the slush discharge port extends outward from the discharge body to form a discharge extension channel, which is located outside the slush machine.
[0021] The discharge extension channel is inclined. When the inlet of the feeding channel and the slush feed inlet are aligned, the inclination angle of the feeding channel and the inclination angle of the discharge extension channel are the same, and the feeding channel and the discharge extension channel are connected to form a continuous discharge channel.
[0022] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the discharge device for the slush machine further includes an elastic connector; the slush discharge port of the storage cylinder extends downwards from the storage cylinder to form a transition channel;
[0023] One end of the elastic connector abuts against the outer periphery of the ice slush inlet, and the other end is sleeved on the outside of the transition channel;

[0025] Accordingly, this utility model also provides a smoothie machine, including a storage cylinder and the above-mentioned discharge device. The bottom surface of the storage cylinder is provided with a smoothie discharge port, and the smoothie inlet of the discharge body is connected to the smoothie discharge port.
[0026] Implementing this utility model has the following beneficial effects: The discharge device of this embodiment only requires two main components—the discharge body and the switching mechanism—to achieve on / off control of the slush discharge, eliminating the need for multiple components such as piston rods, movable handles, and elastic reset components found in existing technologies. Compared to existing structures, this reduces a large number of cooperating parts, and the simple structure of the discharge body and switching mechanism significantly simplifies the overall structure of the discharge device, thereby reducing the processing and assembly costs of parts and facilitating mass production. Furthermore, the switching mechanism is installed inside the discharge body using a rotary mounting method, allowing the connection or disconnection of the slush inlet and outlet to be achieved by rotating the mechanism. The entire operation does not require overcoming the elastic force of the elastic reset component; only a small rotational force is needed to complete the on / off switching, significantly reducing operational intensity. Users are less prone to fatigue even after long-term use, effectively improving operational convenience and comfort, and better meeting the actual application needs of slush machines.

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.
[0035] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0036] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0037] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a discharge device for a smoothie machine, including a discharge body 1 and a switching mechanism 2. The discharge body 1 is provided with a smoothie inlet 11 and a smoothie outlet 12. The smoothie inlet 11 is used to connect with the smoothie discharge port 6 of the storage cylinder, and the smoothie outlet 12 is used to connect with the outside of the smoothie machine.
[0038] The switching mechanism 2 is rotatably installed inside the discharge body 1, and the switching mechanism 2 is provided with a feeding channel 21. By rotating the switching mechanism 2, the slush inlet 11 and the slush outlet 12 are connected through the feeding channel 21, that is, the discharge device is in the open state at this time, and the slush produced in the storage cylinder can be discharged from the slush discharge port 6 of the storage cylinder through the feeding channel 21. Alternatively, by rotating the switching mechanism 2, the slush inlet 11 and the slush outlet 12 are separated by the switching mechanism 2, that is, the discharge device is in the closed state at this time, and the slush produced in the storage cylinder cannot be discharged through the discharge device.
[0039] The discharging device of this embodiment achieves on / off control of slush discharging through only two main components: the discharging body 1 and the switching mechanism 2. It eliminates the need for multiple components such as pistons, movable handles, and elastic reset components found in existing technologies. Compared to existing structures, this reduces a large number of components, and the simple structure of the discharging body 1 and the switching mechanism 2 significantly simplifies the overall structure of the discharging device, thereby reducing the processing and assembly costs of parts and facilitating mass production. Furthermore, the switching mechanism 2 is rotary-mounted inside the discharging body 1. Rotating the switching mechanism 2 connects or disconnects the slush inlet 11 and the slush outlet 12. The entire operation does not require overcoming the elastic force of the elastic reset component; only a small rotational force is needed to complete the on / off switching, significantly reducing operational intensity. Users are less prone to fatigue during long-term use, effectively improving operational convenience and comfort, and better meeting the actual application needs of slush machines.
[0040] This discharge device, through simplified structural design and optimized operation, not only reduces the space occupied by the discharge device, which is conducive to reducing the overall size of the smoothie machine, but also helps to reduce production costs due to its simple overall structure and fewer components. In addition, the discharge device is easy and labor-saving to operate, improving the convenience of operation. It effectively solves the problems of complex structure, high production cost and laborious operation of discharge devices in the prior art, and has significant practical value.
[0041] In one embodiment, both the discharge body 1 and the switching mechanism 2 are cylindrical.
[0042] In one embodiment, the ice smoothie inlet 11 and the ice smoothie outlet 12 are respectively opened at the top and bottom of the discharge body 1, and the ice smoothie inlet 11 and the ice smoothie outlet 12 are staggered.
[0043] The feeding channel 21 is inclinedly disposed inside the switching mechanism 2.
[0044] In this embodiment, the slush inlet 11 is located at the top of the discharge body 1, and the slush outlet 12 is located at the bottom of the discharge body 1, with the two staggered. Combined with the inclined feeding channel 21 inside the switching mechanism 2, when the switching mechanism 2 is rotated to connect the slush inlet 11 and the slush outlet 12 via the feeding channel 21, since the slush inlet 11 is connected to the slush discharge port 6 of the storage cylinder, the prepared slush in the storage cylinder can flow more smoothly from the slush inlet 11 to the slush outlet 12 under its own gravity along the inclined feeding channel 21. This reduces stagnation and blockage of the slush during transport, improving discharge efficiency. Simultaneously, this structural design further utilizes the natural characteristics of the material, requiring no additional power assistance. Combined with the rotational operation of the switching mechanism 2, the entire discharge process is more efficient and labor-saving, further optimizing the operating experience and better meeting the practical application needs of the slush machine.
[0045] In one embodiment, one end of the discharge body 1 is provided with a first connecting part 13 for connecting the switching mechanism 2, and one end of the switching mechanism 2 is rotatably mounted on the first connecting part 13 to realize the rotational installation of the switching mechanism 2.
[0046] In one embodiment, the first connecting part 13 is provided with a movable hole 131, and the inside of the switching mechanism 2 is provided with a second connecting member 22 for cooperating and connecting with the first connecting part 13. One end of the second connecting member 22 is movably fitted into the movable hole 131. It should be noted that the outer diameter of the part of the second connecting member 22 installed in the movable hole 131 is smaller than the diameter of the movable hole 131, so that the second connecting member 22 can rotate smoothly within the movable hole 131.
[0047] The discharge device for the smoothie machine also includes a fixing member 3. One end of the fixing member 3 is located outside the movable hole 131 and is engaged with the first connecting part 13. The fixing member 3 can rotate relative to the movable hole 131. The other end of the fixing member 3 passes through the movable hole 131 and is fixedly connected to the second connecting member 22.
[0048] The first connecting part 13 is movably assembled with the second connecting member 22 of the switching mechanism 2 through the movable hole 131, and the two are fixed together with the fixing member 3. This structural design provides a stable and reliable assembly method for the rotating installation of the switching mechanism 2 on the discharge body 1. One end of the fixing member 3 is engaged with the first connecting part 13, and the other end passes through the movable hole 131 and is fixedly connected to the second connecting member 22. This ensures that the switching mechanism 2 can rotate smoothly relative to the discharge body 1, and effectively prevents the switching mechanism 2 from falling out of the discharge body 1, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the switching mechanism 2 during rotation.
[0049] Meanwhile, this connection structure can be achieved through the cooperation of only a few simple components: the first connecting part 13, the second connecting part 22, and the fixing part 3. It eliminates the need for complex assembly structures, further simplifying the overall structure of the discharge device and reducing assembly difficulty and production costs. Furthermore, the design of the fixing part 3, which can rotate relative to the movable hole 131, does not obstruct the rotation operation of the on / off mechanism 2, ensuring that users can maintain a light and effortless operating experience when rotating the on / off mechanism 2, further enhancing the practicality of the device.
[0050] Preferably, the fastener 3 is T-shaped.
[0051] In one embodiment, the fixing member 3 includes a limiting part 31 and a third connecting part 32, the third connecting part 32 being disposed on the side of the limiting part 31 facing the switching mechanism 2;
[0052] The limiting part 31 is located outside the movable hole 131, and the third connecting part 32 passes through the movable hole 131 and is fixedly connected to the second connecting member 22;
[0053] The width or diameter of the limiting part 31 is greater than the diameter of the movable hole 131, so that the limiting part 31 can play a limiting role and effectively prevent the switching mechanism 2 from falling out of the discharge body 1.
[0054] In one embodiment, the opening end of the discharge body 1 (i.e. the side away from the first connecting part 13) is provided with a rotation limiting notch 14 by cutting off, and the outer side wall of the switching mechanism 2 is provided with a limiting protrusion 23 that cooperates with the rotation limiting notch 14. The limiting protrusion 23 is correspondingly installed in the rotation limiting notch 14.
[0055] The two ends of the rotating limiting notch 14 are the first stroke end point 141 and the second stroke end point 142, respectively. When the switching mechanism 2 is rotated so that the limiting protrusion 23 contacts the first stroke end point 141, the input port and output port of the feeding channel 21 are aligned with the slush feed inlet 11 and the slush discharge outlet 12, respectively. At this time, the slush feed inlet 11 and the slush discharge outlet 12 are connected through the feeding channel 21, and the slush can fall into the external collection container through the feeding channel 21. When the switching mechanism 2 is rotated so that the limiting protrusion 23 contacts the second stroke end point 142, the slush feed inlet 11 and the slush discharge outlet 12 are completely separated by the switching mechanism 2. That is, at this time, the slush feed inlet 11 is blocked, and the slush discharge outlet 6 and the slush discharge outlet 12 of the storage cylinder are not connected. In this state, the raw materials for slush preparation can be introduced into the storage cylinder to prepare slush.
[0056] It is worth noting that the rotation limiting notch 14 of the discharge body 1 cooperates with the limiting protrusion 23 of the switching mechanism 2 to precisely control the rotation stroke of the switching mechanism 2. When the limiting protrusion 23 touches the first stroke end point 141, the input and output ports of the feeding channel 21 are precisely connected to the ice slush inlet 11 and the ice slush outlet 2, respectively, so that the ice slush inlet 11 and the ice slush outlet 2 are in a connected state; when the limiting protrusion 23 touches the second stroke end point 142, the ice slush inlet 11 and the ice slush outlet 2 are completely separated. Due to the cooperation of the rotation limiting notch 14 and the limiting protrusion 23, this design can avoid over-rotation or under-rotation, ensuring accurate and reliable switching of the on / off state and improving operational certainty. Moreover, no additional positioning components are required, simplifying the structure. During operation, the user can sense the end point through the contact between the limiting protrusion 23 and the rotation limiting notch 14, making it more convenient and labor-saving.
[0057] Preferably, the rotation angle range of the limiting protrusion 23 within the rotation limiting notch 14 is ≤90 degrees, and the rotation angle of the limiting protrusion 23 from the first stroke end position 141 to the second stroke end position 142 is 90°.
[0058] In one embodiment, a rotary handle 4 is provided on one side of the on / off mechanism 2. The rotary handle 4 facilitates the rotation of the on / off mechanism 2, making operation more convenient.
[0059] Preferably, the on / off mechanism 2 extends to the outside of the discharge body 1 on the side away from the second connector 22, and the rotating handle 4 is provided on this side.
[0060] In one embodiment, the slush outlet 12 extends outward from the discharge body 1 to form a discharge extension channel 15, which is located outside the slush machine for easy access by the user to collect the slush.
[0061] The discharge extension channel 15 is inclined. When the inlet of the feeding channel 21 and the slush inlet 11 are aligned, the inclination angle of the feeding channel 21 is the same as that of the discharge extension channel 15. The feeding channel 21 and the discharge extension channel 15 are connected to form a continuous discharge channel, allowing the slush to be transported along a smooth inclined path, reducing stagnation and blockage, and improving discharge efficiency. The continuous channel design utilizes gravity-assisted conveying, requiring no additional power. Combined with the rotational operation of the on / off mechanism 2, discharge becomes more effortless and convenient, further optimizing the user experience.
[0062] In one embodiment, the discharge device for the smoothie machine further includes an elastic connector 5; the smoothie discharge port 61 of the storage cylinder 6 extends downwards from the storage cylinder 6 to form a transition channel 7.
[0063] One end of the elastic connector 5 abuts against the outer periphery of the ice slush inlet 11, and the other end is sleeved on the outside of the transition channel 7. Due to the setting of the elastic connector 5, by compressing the elastic connector 5, the elastic connector 5 and the discharge body 1 can be in close contact, and the elastic connector 5 can block the gap between the transition channel 7 and the ice slush inlet 11, preventing the ice slush from flowing out of the gap between the two.
[0064] In one embodiment, the included angle between the transition channel 7 and the discharge extension channel 15 is α, where 90° < α ≤ 180°, which makes the ice shavings flow more smoothly in the discharge device during discharge, reducing stagnation and blockage, and improving discharge efficiency.
[0065] Preferably, the angle between the transition channel 7 and the discharge extension channel 15 is 130° to 180°, which allows the ice shavings to flow more smoothly within the discharge device during discharge, reducing stagnation and blockage. More preferably, the angle between the transition channel 7 and the discharge extension channel 15 is 150° to 180°.
[0066] See Figures 4 to 6 As shown, this embodiment also discloses a smoothie machine, including a storage cylinder 6 and the above-mentioned discharge device. The bottom surface of the storage cylinder is provided with the smoothie discharge port 61, and the smoothie inlet 11 of the discharge body 1 is connected to the smoothie discharge port.
[0067] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without any inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
