[0025] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0027] See Figures 1-9 The material bucket of this smoothie machine has a rotatable positioning assembly structure, including a machine frame 1 and a material bucket 2. The material bucket 2 is rotatably mounted on the machine frame 1. A positioning part is provided on the outside of the material bucket 2. An open area 12 is provided on the machine frame 1. A positioning mating part is provided on the inside of the open area 12. The material bucket 2 is rotatably positioned and assembled on the machine frame 1 through the cooperation of the positioning part and the positioning mating part.
[0028] The positioning part includes a positioning block 3 disposed on the outer side of the material barrel 2, and the positioning mating part includes a positioning surface 4 disposed on the inner side of the open area 12; when the material barrel 2 is assembled on the machine frame 1, the positioning block 3 is positioned downward and abuts against the positioning surface 4.
[0029] The positioning part also includes a positioning rib 5 located on the other side of the material barrel 2, and the positioning mating part also includes a positioning protrusion 6 located on the other side of the open area 12; when the material barrel 2 is assembled on the machine frame 1, the positioning rib 5 is positioned upward and abuts against the positioning protrusion 6.
[0030] Through the cooperation of positioning block 3 and positioning surface 4, and positioning rib 5 and positioning protrusion 6, the material bucket 2 is rotated and positioned onto the machine frame 1; the material bucket 2 is rotated clockwise upwards during assembly (e.g., ...). Figure 1 (Solid line arrow direction), rotate the material bucket 2 counterclockwise upwards when disassembling (e.g. Figure 1 (Direction of the dashed arrow).
[0031] The open area 12 is provided with a positioning groove 7 corresponding to the positioning surface 4. The positioning block 3 is at least partially placed in the positioning groove 7, and the positioning surface 4 is located at the bottom of the positioning groove 7.
[0032] The positioning groove 7 has positioning edges 8 at its front and rear ends, and the positioning block 3 has positioning mating surfaces 9 at its front and rear ends. When the material bucket 2 is assembled on the machine frame 1, the material bucket 2 is positioned on the machine frame 1 by the mating of the positioning edges 8 and the positioning mating surfaces 9, preventing the material bucket 2 from loosening.
[0033] The top of the positioning groove 7 is provided with an opening 10. When the material bucket 2 is assembled on the machine frame 1, the positioning block 3 is placed in the positioning groove 7 through the opening 10. That is, when the material bucket 2 is rotated and installed in place, the positioning block 3 is placed in the positioning groove 7.
[0034] The positioning block 3 and the positioning rib 5 are provided with several reinforcing parts.
[0035] The reinforcing part includes several openings 11 set in the positioning block 3. The openings 11 can reduce the friction between the positioning block 3 and the side wall of the positioning groove 7 when the positioning block 3 is placed in the positioning groove 7, and at the same time reduce the material used in the material bucket 2, thereby reducing costs. The reinforcing part also includes several reinforcing strips 16 spaced apart on the positioning rib 5. The reinforcing strips 16 can improve the structural strength of the positioning rib 5 and prevent the positioning rib 5 from being damaged due to long-term stress.
[0036] The open area 12 is an open cavity located in front of the machine frame 1. The material bucket 2 rotates at least partially within the open area 12 during disassembly and assembly.
[0037] The open cavity not only facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the material bucket 2, but also allows the material bucket 2 to rotate at least partially within the open cavity during assembly and disassembly. Therefore, the open cavity can limit the outer side of the material bucket 2 to a certain position, so that the material bucket 2 can rotate in a designated position. This not only improves the assembly convenience of the material bucket 2, but also ensures the assembly stability of the material bucket 2.
[0038] The material bucket 2 includes a bucket body 17 and an end plate 18 located at the rear end of the bucket body 17. The bucket body 17 and the end plate 18 are manufactured separately and then welded together for easy processing.
[0039] A rotating fastening part is provided between the machine frame 1 and the material bucket 2. The material bucket 2 is attached to the machine frame 1 by rotating fastening part.
[0040] The rotating fastening part includes several fastening ribs 15 arranged in a ring on the machine frame 1 and several fastening grooves 13 and opening grooves 14 arranged in a ring on the material barrel 2. When the material barrel 2 is assembled on the machine frame 1, the fastening ribs 15 rotate along the opening grooves 14 into the fastening grooves 13, and the fastening ribs 15 and the fastening grooves 13 fasten each other, so that the material barrel 2 is fixed on the machine frame 1. When installing the material barrel 2, align the opening grooves 14 with the fastening ribs 15, then slide the opening grooves 14 backward into the fastening ribs 15, and then rotate the material barrel 2 so that the fastening ribs 15 rotate relative to each other into the fastening grooves 13. At this time, the positioning block 3 presses down against the positioning surface 4, and the positioning ribs 5 press up against the positioning protrusions 6. The installation of the material barrel 2 is completed. When disassembling the material barrel 2, simply rotate the material barrel 2 in the opposite direction so that the fastening ribs 15 rotate relative to each other into the opening grooves 14. At this time, the positioning block 3 disengages from the positioning surface 4, and the positioning ribs 5 disengage from the positioning protrusions 6. Then, pull the material barrel 2 forward. The disassembly of the material barrel 2 is completed.
[0041] The engaging groove 13 and the opening groove 14 are distributed in a ring on the end plate 18.
[0042] The above describes the preferred embodiments of this utility model, illustrating and describing its basic principles, main features, and advantages. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
