[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more apparent and understandable, many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] See Figures 1-7 A slush machine material bucket structure includes a bucket body 1 with a first opening 101, the bucket body 1 is installed on the body 3 of the slush machine, and an end plate 2 for fixing to the body 3 is provided at the rear of the bucket body 1. The barrel 1 and the end plate 2 are separate independent structures, and the end plate 2 is fixed at the first opening 101 position of the barrel 1. The end plate 2 is provided with a second opening 201 installed on the machine body 3. A screw fastening assembly is provided between the second opening 201 of the end plate 2 and the machine body 3. The barrel is detachably installed on the machine body 3 through the screw fastening assembly between the end plate 2 and the machine body 3.

[0025] By designing the barrel body 1 and the end plate 2 as separate independent structures, compared with the one-piece molding structure, the barrel body 1 and the end plate 2 can be molded and processed separately, eliminating the need to design a complex one-piece mold, greatly reducing the difficulty of mold design and processing, and simplifying the process; at the same time, the end plate 2 is detachably installed on the machine body 3 through a screw fastener assembly, and the second opening 201 on the end plate 2 cooperates with the machine body 3 to achieve quick assembly and disassembly of the barrel and the machine body 3, which facilitates the cleaning, maintenance or replacement of the barrel.

[0026] The snap fastener assembly includes several slots 202 arranged circumferentially at intervals on the inner side of the second opening 201 of the end plate 2, and protrusions 302 arranged on the body 3 and correspondingly cooperating with each slot 202. When the material hopper is installed on the machine body 3, the material hopper rotates until the slot 202 engages with the corresponding protrusion 302; when the material hopper is removed from the machine body 3, the material hopper rotates in the opposite direction until the slot 202 disengages from the corresponding protrusion 302.

[0027] The body 3 has an annular mounting boss 301 corresponding to the second opening 201 of the end plate 2. Several protrusions 302 are circumferentially spaced on the outer periphery of the mounting boss 301. During installation, the second opening 201 of the end plate 2 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the mounting boss 301 to achieve positioning during installation. During rotation, the second opening 201 and the mounting boss 301 can rotate relative to each other.

[0028] The slots 202 are circumferentially spaced inside the second opening 201 of the end plate 2, and the protrusions 302 are correspondingly set on the machine body 3. During installation, the material barrel only needs to be rotated to make the slots 202 and the protrusions 302 engage. During disassembly, it can be disengaged by rotating in the opposite direction. The operation is simple and convenient and does not require any additional tools. Moreover, the one-to-one correspondence between the slots 202 and the protrusions 302 can ensure the stability of the material barrel after it is installed on the machine body 3 and prevent the material barrel from becoming loose during use.

[0029] The end plate 2 is provided with a guide groove 203 corresponding to each slot 202, and each guide groove 203 is connected to the corresponding slot 202. When the material bucket is installed on the machine body 3, the protrusion 302 is relatively embedded in the guide groove 203. When the material bucket rotates, the protrusion 302 enters the slot 202 along the guide groove 203.

[0030] Each slot 202 of the end plate 2 is provided with a guide groove 203, and the guide groove 203 is connected to the slot 202. When installing the material bucket, the protrusion 302 can be accurately embedded into the guide groove 203 to provide guidance for the installation of the material bucket and avoid collision or misalignment between the protrusion 302 and the inner side of the second opening 201 of the end plate 2. Then, the material bucket is rotated so that the protrusion 302 enters the slot 202 along the guide groove 203, which further improves the convenience and accuracy of the material bucket installation and reduces the difficulty of the installation operation. A first positioning group is provided between the first opening 101 of the barrel body 1 and the end plate 2. The end plate 2 is positioned and installed at the first opening 101 of the barrel body 1 through the first positioning group. The first positioning group includes a first positioning step 102 disposed on the inner side of the first opening 101 of the barrel body 1, and a positioning edge 204 disposed on the outer periphery of the end plate 2. When the barrel body 1 and the end plate 2 are installed, the positioning edge 204 abuts against the first positioning step 102.

[0031] The first positioning step 102 inside the first opening 101 of the barrel 1 cooperates with the positioning edge 204 on the outer periphery of the end plate 2. When the end plate 2 is installed, the positioning edge 204 abuts against the first positioning step 102, which can quickly determine the installation position of the end plate 2 at the first opening 101 of the barrel 1, avoid the end plate 2 from being installed off-center, and ensure the coaxiality of the end plate 2 and the barrel 1. At the same time, the first positioning step 102 provides support for the end plate 2, enhancing the stability of the end plate 2 after installation.

[0032] A second positioning group is also provided between the inner side of the barrel body 1 and the second opening 201 of the end plate 2. The end plate 2 is positioned and installed on the inner side of the barrel body 1 by the second positioning group. The second positioning group consists of a second positioning step 103 on the inner side of the barrel 1 and a positioning element 205 at the front end of the second opening 201 of the end plate 2. When the barrel 1 and the end plate 2 are installed, the positioning element 205 abuts against the second positioning step 103.

[0033] The second positioning step 103 on the inner side of the barrel 1 cooperates with the positioning element 205 at the front end of the second opening 201 of the end plate 2. When the end plate 2 is installed, the positioning element 205 abuts against the second positioning step 103, forming a double positioning with the first positioning group. This further improves the installation accuracy of the end plate 2 inside the barrel 1, prevents the end plate 2 from moving back and forth or shaking inside the barrel 1, ensures the stability of the connection between the barrel 1 and the end plate 2, and provides a guarantee for the normal use of the barrel in the future.

[0034] The positioning element 205 is annular and protrudes from the front end of the second opening 201 of the end plate 2 to increase the connection area between the barrel 1 and the end plate 2, as well as the connection area between the end plate 2 and the machine body 3.

[0035] The positioning component 205 is designed as a ring-shaped structure that protrudes from the front end of the second opening 201 of the end plate 2. On the one hand, this increases the contact area between the positioning component 205 and the second positioning step 103, thereby increasing the connection area between the barrel 1 and the end plate 2, improving the sealing and stability of the connection between the two, and preventing the material inside the barrel 1 from leaking from the joint. On the other hand, the protruding ring-shaped positioning component 205 increases the contact area between the end plate 2 and the machine body 3, making the connection between the end plate 2 and the machine body 3 tighter, and improving the overall stability of the barrel installed on the machine body 3. The connection 4 between the outer sides of the barrel body 1 and the end plate 2 has a planar structure.

[0036] The flat structure makes the material bucket look flatter and more beautiful, improving the overall visual effect of the product, and avoiding the bumps and damage that may be caused by protruding or dented structures.

[0037] The barrel body 1 is provided with a protrusion 104, which protrudes out of the outer side of the barrel body 1. The protrusion 104 is provided with a feeding port 105 that communicates with the inner cavity of the barrel body 1. The barrel body 1 is provided with a cover 5 for opening and closing the feeding port 105. The end plate 2 is provided with a connecting part 206 that is adapted to the shape of the protrusion 104; The cover 5 is rotatably mounted on the protrusion 104.

[0038] The protrusion 104 of the barrel 1 is provided with a feeding port 105, which facilitates the feeding of materials into the inner cavity of the barrel 1. The cover 5 can open and close the feeding port 105, which can prevent materials from splashing out during processing and also prevent external impurities from entering the barrel 1. The connecting part 206 of the end plate 2 is adapted to the shape of the protrusion 104, ensuring the integrity of the end plate 2 and the barrel 1 after installation and avoiding gaps caused by shape mismatch. The cover 5 is rotatably mounted on the protrusion 104, making opening and closing operations convenient and eliminating the need for frequent disassembly of the cover 5.

[0039] The barrel body 1 includes a barrel body 107 with an arc-shaped cross section. A first arc-shaped connecting section 106 is provided between the barrel body 107 and the protrusion 104. The barrel body 107 and the protrusion 104 are connected by the first arc-shaped connecting section 106. The shape of the end plate 2 body is adapted to the barrel body 107. A second arc-shaped connecting section 207 is provided between the end plate 2 body and the connecting part 206. The end plate 2 body and the connecting part 206 are connected by the second arc-shaped connecting section 207. The first arc-shaped connecting section 106 and the second arc-shaped connecting section 207 are adapted to each other.

[0040] The barrel body 107 and the protrusion 104 are connected by a first arc-shaped connecting section 106, and the end plate 2 body and the connecting part 206 are connected by a second arc-shaped connecting section 207. The first arc-shaped connecting section 106 and the second arc-shaped connecting section 207 are adapted to each other. The arc-shaped transition structure avoids the existence of right angles or sharp structures, effectively increasing the volume of the inner cavity of the barrel.

[0041] The barrel body 1 and the end plate 2 are connected and sealed by welding.

[0042] The barrel body 1 and the end plate 2 are welded together to form a sealed connection. The welded connection ensures the sealing of the joint between the two, effectively preventing the leakage of liquid or small materials in the barrel body 1 from the joint, and ensuring the normal use of the barrel. At the same time, the welded connection has high strength, which enables the barrel body 1 and the end plate 2 to form a stable overall structure, improve the service life of the barrel, and avoid separation or loosening of the two after long-term use. The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
