[0169] The following is based on Figures 1 to 15 This invention relates to an ice drink machine.

[0170] In this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 12 As shown, the ice drink machine 100 includes a main unit 1 and an ice shaving mechanism 2. The main unit 1 is equipped with an ice-making mechanism 11 and an ice outlet 121. The ice produced by the ice-making mechanism 11 is supplied to the outside through the ice outlet 121. The ice shaving mechanism 2 includes an ice shaving cup 21 and a mounting component 22. The ice shaving cup 21 is detachably mounted to the main unit 1 through the mounting component 22. That is, the ice shaving cup 21 has two states: mounted on the main unit 1 and disconnected from the main unit 1. When the ice shaving cup 21 is disconnected from the main unit 1 and placed below the ice outlet 121, the ice produced by the ice-making mechanism 11 is supplied through the ice outlet 121. The ice supplied by the ice outlet 121 falls into the ice shaving cup 21 under the weight of the ice. At this time, the ice shaving cup 21 serves to collect the ice. When the shaved ice cup 21 is installed on the main unit 1, the shaved ice mechanism 2 can start the shaved ice process. When the shaved ice mechanism 2 is performing the shaved ice process, the ice in the shaved ice cup 21 is broken into shaved ice to make shaved ice.

[0171] The above technical solution improves the structure of the ice drink machine 100 by assembling the main unit 1 and the ice shaving mechanism 2. The main unit 1 has an ice-making function, and the ice shaving mechanism 2 has an ice-slush-making function. The ice produced by the ice-making mechanism 11 in the main unit 1 can be supplied to the outside through the ice outlet 121. Furthermore, during the process of making ice slush using the ice drink machine 100, the ice shaving cup 21 switches between two states: installed on the main unit 1 and disconnected from the main unit 1. The ice shaving cup 21 first collects ice from below the ice outlet 121 of the main unit 1, and then is installed on the main unit 1 to start making ice slush. That is, it can achieve the two purposes of collecting ice and making ice slush in sequence. Compared with the prior art, this solution does not require manual removal of ice from the ice and transfer to the ice shaving cup, making the operation more convenient and avoiding the risk of ice contamination due to manual transfer, thus ensuring the hygiene of drinking ice.

[0172] In one implementation, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the mounting component 22 is installed on the main unit 1, and the shaved ice cup 21 is detachably installed on the mounting component 22. In this solution, the shaved ice cup 21 is detachably connected to the main unit 1 through the detachable connection with the mounting component 22. Compared with a solution where the shaved ice cup 21 is fixedly connected to the mounting component 22 and the mounting component 22 is detachably connected to the main unit 1, this solution can reduce structural modifications to the main unit 1 and lower modification costs. Of course, the installation method of the shaved ice cup 21 is not limited to this; it can also be that the shaved ice cup 21 is fixedly connected to the mounting component 22 and the mounting component 22 is detachably connected to the main unit 1 to achieve a detachable connection between the shaved ice cup 21 and the main unit 1.

[0173] In one implementation, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the shaved ice cup 21 has an opening 2111 at its top and an ice slush outlet 2112 at its bottom. When the shaved ice cup 21 is mounted on the mounting bracket 22, the mounting bracket 22 forms a lid for the shaved ice cup 21, covering the opening 2111. Specifically, the opening 2111 is located at the top of the shaved ice cup 21, so that after removing the shaved ice cup 21, it can be placed directly below the ice outlet 121 to collect ice cubes without adjusting the placement of the shaved ice cup 21. The shaved ice cup 21 can be kept upright, which is convenient for operation. In addition, by configuring the mounting bracket 22 as the lid of the shaved ice cup 21, there is no need to set up an additional lid, which can reduce the number of parts in the shaved ice mechanism 2. Furthermore, by placing the ice slush outlet 2112 at the bottom of the shaved ice cup 21, the ice falls from below, which is faster and less likely to leave residue than ice falling from the side.

[0174] In one embodiment, the shaved ice cup 21 and the mounting member 22 are installed by engaging the first snap-fit ​​protrusion with the first snap-fit ​​groove, making installation and removal convenient. Specifically, the shaved ice cup 21 may have the first snap-fit ​​protrusion and the mounting member 22 may have the first snap-fit ​​groove, or the shaved ice cup 21 may have the first snap-fit ​​groove and the mounting member 22 may have the first snap-fit ​​protrusion.

[0175] Furthermore, when installing the shaved ice cup 21 onto the mounting component 22, the first snap-fit ​​protrusion is snapped into the first slot along the circumference of the shaved ice cup 21 by rotating the shaved ice cup 21, thus achieving snap-fit ​​and making the operation convenient. When disassembling the shaved ice cup 21, the shaved ice cup 21 is rotated in the opposite direction to disengage the first snap-fit ​​protrusion from the first slot.

[0176] Furthermore, at least one first locking slot is provided with a first limiting protrusion. When the first locking protrusion is engaged in the first locking slot, the first limiting protrusion abuts against the corresponding first locking protrusion to prevent the first locking protrusion from disengaging from the first locking slot. The first limiting protrusion acts as a lock for the shaved ice cup 21, ensuring a stable connection between the shaved ice cup 21 and the mounting component 22. When the external force on the first locking protrusion exceeds the resistance of the first limiting protrusion, the first locking protrusion can disengage from the first locking slot, thereby removing the shaved ice cup 21. In this design, the locking structure of the shaved ice cup 21 is simple, compact, and convenient for locking and unlocking.

[0177] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting component 22 has an end cap structure, and its inner wall has three first locking slots 221; the circumferential outer wall of the shaved ice cup 21 has three first locking protrusions 2113, and the first locking slots 221 and the first locking protrusions 2113 are matched one-to-one. When the shaved ice cup 21 is installed on the mounting component 22, by rotating the shaved ice cup 21, the first locking protrusions 2113 are locked into the matching first locking slots 221 along the circumference of the shaved ice cup 21, thereby achieving locking.

[0178] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall of the mounting component 22 is provided with three first guide grooves 222, each of which is connected to a first slot 221. That is, each first slot 221 is connected to a first guide groove 222. The end of the first guide groove 222 facing the shaved ice cup 21 is open, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, during the process of installing the shaved ice cup 21 onto the mounting component 22, the first snap-fit ​​protrusion 2113 is first inserted into the matching first guide groove 222 in the direction toward the mounting component 22, and then snaps onto the first slot 221 in the circumferential direction of the shaved ice cup 21 to facilitate snap-fit.

[0179] Of course, the number of first slots 221 is not limited to three; it can be two, four, or even more. The number of first latching protrusions 2113 and the number of first guide grooves 222 are the same as the number of first slots 221.

[0180] Furthermore, such as Figure 5As shown, the first guide groove 222 has a first guide surface 2221 and a second guide surface 2222 that are oppositely disposed, and the first guide surface 2221 and the second guide surface 2222 are spaced apart along the circumferential inner wall of the mounting member 22. Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the cavity formed between the first guide surface 2221 and the second guide surface 2222 gradually narrows in the direction away from the shaved ice cup 21. During the installation of the shaved ice cup 21 onto the mounting component 22, the operation of inserting the first snap-fit ​​protrusion 2113 into the first guide groove 222 is somewhat difficult due to the concealed position of the first slot 221. This solution optimizes the extension direction of the first guide surface 2221 and the second guide surface 2222. The larger end of the cavity formed between the first guide surface 2221 and the second guide surface 2222 is located at the opening of the first guide groove 222, which facilitates the quick insertion of the first snap-fit ​​protrusion 2113 into the first guide groove 222 from the opening. Furthermore, since the first guide surface 2221 and the second guide surface 2222 are inclined surfaces, the first snap-fit ​​protrusion 2113 can slide along the surface of the first guide surface 2221 and / or the second guide surface 2222 toward the first slot 221. That is, at least one of the first guide surface 2221 and the second guide surface 2222 can guide the first snap-fit ​​protrusion 2113 to move toward the first slot 221.

[0181] In one implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, at least one first card slot 221 is provided with a first limiting protrusion 2211, that is, some of the first card slots 221 may be provided with the first limiting protrusion 2211, or all of the first card slots 221 may be provided with the first limiting protrusion 2211. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, during the process of the first engaging protrusion 2113 engaging with the first slot 221, the first engaging protrusion 2113 passes the first limiting protrusion 2211 and reaches the engaging position. The first limiting protrusion 2211 abuts against the corresponding first engaging protrusion 2113 to prevent the first engaging protrusion 2113 from disengaging from the first slot 221. The first limiting protrusion 2211 plays a locking role on the first engaging protrusion 2113, thereby locking the shaved ice cup 21.

[0182] In one embodiment, all the first slots 221 are evenly spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the mounting member 22 so that the first slots 221 are subjected to balanced force, avoiding excessive local force that could cause deformation of the first slots 221 and / or the first snap-fit ​​protrusions 2113, thus affecting the stability of the snap-fit.

[0183] In one implementation, such as Figure 5As shown, at least two first slots 221 are of different sizes to form a foolproof structure for indicating the installation position of the shaved ice cup 21. Specifically, when installing the shaved ice cup 21, the user can observe the positions of the first slots 221 of different sizes and adjust the position of the corresponding first latching protrusions 2113 on the shaved ice cup 21 to determine the installation position of the shaved ice cup 21, which facilitates quick installation.

[0184] In one implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the shaved ice cup 21 is installed on the main unit 1, the shaved ice cup 21 is suspended on one side of the main unit 1, and the center of gravity of the ice drink machine 100 is located on the main unit 1. The main unit 1, as the supporting body of the ice drink machine 100, supports the shaved ice mechanism 2. Specifically, this solution optimizes the positions of the shaved ice cup 21 and the main unit 1. During the loading and unloading of the shaved ice cup 21, the main unit 1 will not or will not easily interfere with the loading and unloading of the shaved ice cup 21. Users can load and unload the shaved ice cup 21 without moving or lifting the main unit 1, which facilitates quick ice filling with the shaved ice cup 21 and also makes it easy to remove the shaved ice cup 21 for cleaning.

[0185] In one implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the main unit 1's main unit housing 13 includes a front housing 131. When the shaved ice cup 21 is installed on the main unit 1, the shaved ice cup 21 and the ice outlet 121 are distributed in front of the front housing 131 at intervals along the left and right direction of the ice drink machine 100. In this way, when the user uses the ice drink machine 100, the front housing 131 faces the user, and the shaved ice cup 21 and the ice outlet 121 are closely distributed and close to the user, which makes it convenient for the user to fill the ice cubes or ice slush.

[0186] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting component 22 is located in front of the front shell 131. By optimizing the position of the mounting component 22, the shaved ice cup 21 can be suspended in front of the front shell 131. The center of gravity of the shaved ice cup 21 is located in front of the center of gravity of the main unit 1, so that the user can easily load and unload the shaved ice cup 21 and collect ice.

[0187] In one implementation, such as Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 8As shown, the shaved ice mechanism 2 also includes a shaved ice power assembly 23, a stirring shaft 24, and a first cover 25. The shaved ice power assembly 23 includes a first power source 231. One end of the stirring shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the cup body 211 of the shaved ice cup 21, and the other end is connected to the first power source 231. The first power source 231 drives the stirring shaft 24 to rotate, and the stirring shaft 24 can shake the ice cubes to assist in crushing the ice. The first power source 231 and the mounting component 22 are both at least partially located in the first cover 25. The first cover 25 is used to cover the first power source 231 and the mounting component 22 to improve the aesthetic appearance of the shaved ice mechanism 2. In one specific embodiment, the mounting component 22 is located above the shaved ice cup 21, and the first cover 25 is placed downwards over the outer periphery of the mounting component 22. The lowest point of the mounting component 22 is not lower than the lowest point of the first cover 25 to further improve the concealment of the mounting component 22.

[0188] It should be understood that, in one specific embodiment, the shaved ice cup 21 is engaged with the mounting component 22 by rotational installation. In order to ensure that the shaved ice cup 21 is not prone to falling off due to the rotation of the stirring shaft 24 during the shaved ice process, the rotation direction of the stirring shaft 24 is the same as the rotational installation direction of the shaved ice cup 21.

[0189] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the first power source 231 is a driven wheel. The first power source 231 is coaxially connected to the stirring shaft 24, and the first power source 231 can drive the stirring shaft 24 to rotate synchronously.

[0190] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the shaved ice power assembly 23 also includes a first motor 232. When the first motor 232 is started, the rotational driving force output by the first motor 232 is transmitted to the first power source 231, so that the first power source 231 drives the stirring shaft 24 to rotate. In addition, the first motor 232 is located on one side of the shaved ice cup 21, which helps to reduce the height of the shaved ice mechanism 2.

[0191] Furthermore, the first motor 232 transmits the rotational driving force to the first power source 231 through at least one transmission gear (not shown in the figure). The transmission gear reduces the speed of the first power source 231, thereby increasing the output torque of the first power source 231 and preventing the stirring shaft 24 from being stuck by ice, thus ensuring the ice crushing effect.

[0192] In one implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, to improve the shaved ice effect, three blades 242 are provided on the outer circumference of the bottom end of the stirring shaft 24. The three blades 242 are rotationally symmetrical about the axis of the stirring shaft 24 to accelerate the movement speed of the ice blocks and improve the shaved ice effect. Further, as... Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the blades 242 extend upward at an angle in the direction of rotation of the stirring shaft 24. Thus, as the stirring shaft 24 rotates clockwise, the blades 242 can press the ice downwards, allowing the ice to effectively impact the ice shaving blades 26. Of course, the number of blades 242 is not limited to three; it can be one, two, four, or even more.

[0193] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 14 As shown, the blade 242 has multiple raised ribs 2421 on the side facing the ice shaving blade 26. The raised ribs 2421 are used to increase the friction between the blade 242 and the ice block, so as to prevent the ice block from slipping and thus failing to contact the ice shaving blade 26, or to prevent the ice block from hitting the ice shaving blade 26 with insufficient force, which would affect the ice shaving efficiency.

[0194] In one implementation, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the first motor 232 and the shaved ice cup 21 are offset in the front-back direction of the ice drink machine 100, and the projection portions formed by the first motor 232 and the shaved ice cup 21 in the left-right direction of the ice drink machine 100 overlap. This solution makes full use of the empty space around the shaved ice cup 21 to place the first motor 232, which is conducive to the compact arrangement of the first motor 232 and the shaved ice cup 21, and minimizes the lateral dimension of the ice drink machine 100.

[0195] In one implementation, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the first motor 232 is located inside the main body housing 13 of the main body 1. The first motor 232 is housed in the internal space of the main body housing 13. Compared with the solution of placing the first motor 232 on the outside of the main body housing 13, it is beneficial to reduce the exposed size of the ice shaving mechanism 2, thereby reducing the visual bulkiness caused by the ice shaving mechanism 2 and improving the visual aesthetics.

[0196] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the main unit 1 also includes an ice dispensing mechanism 12, which includes a storage refrigerator 122 and an ice dispensing refrigerator 123 connected in sequence. The ice blocks prepared by the main unit 1 are stored in the storage refrigerator 122. The ice dispensing refrigerator 123 is located at least partially in front of the front shell 131 of the main unit 1. The ice dispensing port 121 is located at the lower part of the ice dispensing refrigerator 123. When the shaved ice cup 21 is placed below the ice dispensing port 121 to collect the ice blocks, the ice blocks stored in the storage refrigerator 122 fall through the ice dispensing refrigerator 123 to the ice dispensing port 121, and the ice blocks fall from the ice dispensing port 121 into the shaved ice cup 21.

[0197] The shaved ice cup 21 is located in front of the front shell 131. The shaved ice cup 21 and the refrigerator 123 are spaced apart along the left and right direction of the ice drink machine 100. The first motor 232 is located behind the shaved ice cup 21, and the first motor 232 extends at least partially into the space formed between the shaved ice cup 21 and the refrigerator 123. Specifically, the outer contour of the shaved ice cup 21 is cylindrical, and the space formed between the shaved ice cup 21 and the refrigerator 123 has a shape that is smaller in the front and larger in the back. The first motor 232 is cylindrical and can extend at least partially into the space from the rear of the shaved ice cup 21 and the refrigerator 123. This makes full use of the space between the shaved ice cup 21 and the refrigerator 123, and the arrangement of the shaved ice cup 21, the first motor 232 and the refrigerator 123 is compact, which is beneficial to the miniaturization design of the ice drink machine 100.

[0198] In one implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the main unit 1 has a second cover 132 on its main unit housing 13. The refrigerator 123 is located at least partially in the second cover 132. The second cover 132 is used to cover the refrigerator 123 and improve the appearance of the ice drink machine 100.

[0199] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 As shown, the first cover 25 and the second cover 132 are integrally formed to simplify the assembly process. Of course, the first cover 25 and the second cover 132 can also be two separate parts that are assembled together.

[0200] In one implementation, such as Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the shaved ice cup 21 includes a cup body 211 and a slush baffle ring 212. The cup body 211 is detachably connected to the mounting bracket 22. The bottom end of the cup body 211 is provided with a slush outlet 2112, and the slush baffle ring 212 is arranged around the slush outlet 2112. During the process of slush being output from the slush outlet 2112 to the slush receiving container, the slush baffle ring 212 is used to guide the slush output from the slush outlet 2112 toward the slush receiving container, avoiding slush splashing, waste, and dirt formation.

[0201] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the slush baffle 212 includes an installation section 2121 and a stop section 2122. The installation section 2121 is used to install with the cup body 211, and the stop section 2122 gradually narrows in the direction away from the cup body 211. This design configures the slush baffle 212 as a constricted structure, which can constrain the falling direction of the slush to a certain extent, so that the slush gathers during the falling process, thereby reducing the degree of splashing. Furthermore, by adjusting the shape and size of the slush baffle 212, the gathering effect of the slush can be adjusted.

[0202] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the stop section 2122 has an axisymmetric structure, which is conducive to the slush gathering together during the falling process and falling directly below the slush baffle ring 212.

[0203] In one embodiment, the mounting section 2121 and the cup body 211 are installed by engaging the second snap-fit ​​protrusion with the second snap-fit ​​groove, making installation and removal convenient. This allows the slush baffle 212 to be removed for cleaning when the shaved ice cup 21 is taken off, enabling separate cleaning of the cup body 211 and the slush baffle 212 for easier cleaning. Specifically, the mounting section 2121 may have the second snap-fit ​​protrusion, and the cup body 211 may have the second snap-fit ​​groove; alternatively, the mounting section 2121 may have the second snap-fit ​​groove, and the cup body 211 may have the second snap-fit ​​protrusion.

[0204] Furthermore, when installing the smoothie retaining ring 212 onto the cup body 211, the second locking protrusion is locked into the second locking groove along the circumference of the cup body 211 by rotating the smoothie retaining ring 212, thus achieving locking and making the operation convenient. When removing the smoothie retaining ring 212, the smoothie retaining ring 212 is rotated in the opposite direction to disengage the second locking protrusion from the second locking groove.

[0205] Furthermore, at least one second slot is provided with a second limiting protrusion. When the second engaging protrusion is engaged in the second slot, the second limiting protrusion abuts against the corresponding second engaging protrusion to prevent the second engaging protrusion from disengaging from the second slot. The second limiting protrusion acts as a lock for the smoothie retaining ring 212, ensuring a stable connection between the smoothie retaining ring 212 and the cup body 211. When the external force on the second engaging protrusion exceeds the resistance of the second limiting protrusion, the second engaging protrusion can disengage from the second slot, thereby removing the smoothie retaining ring 212. In this design, the locking structure of the smoothie retaining ring 212 is simple, compact, and convenient to lock and unlock.

[0206] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the inner wall of the mounting section 2121 is provided with three second snap-fit ​​protrusions 21211, and the outer circumferential wall of the cup body 211 is provided with three second snap-fit ​​grooves 2115. The second snap-fit ​​protrusions 21211 and the second snap-fit ​​grooves 2115 are matched one by one. When the slush baffle ring 212 is installed on the cup body 211, by rotating the slush baffle ring 212, the second snap-fit ​​protrusions 21211 are snapped into the matching second snap-fit ​​grooves 2115 along the circumference of the cup body 211, so as to achieve snap-fit.

[0207] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the outer circumferential wall of the cup body 211 is provided with three second guide grooves 2116. Each second guide groove 2116 is connected to a second slot 2115; that is, each second slot 2115 is connected to one second guide groove 2116. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the second guide groove 2116 is open at one end facing the slush baffle ring 212. During the process of installing the slush baffle ring 212 onto the cup body 211, the second snap-fit ​​protrusion 21211 is first inserted into the matching second guide groove 2116 in the direction towards the cup body 211, and then snapped into the second snap-fit ​​groove 2115 in the circumferential direction of the cup body 211 for easy snap-fit.

[0208] Of course, the number of second slots 2115 is not limited to three; it can be two, four, or even more. The number of second latching protrusions 21211 and the number of second guide grooves 2116 are the same as the number of second slots 2115.

[0209] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second guide groove 2116 is provided with a third guide surface 21161 and a fourth guide surface 21162 that are arranged opposite to each other. The third guide surface 21161 and the fourth guide surface 21162 are spaced apart along the circumferential outer wall of the cup body 211. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the cavity formed between the third guide surface 21161 and the fourth guide surface 21162 gradually narrows in the direction away from the slush baffle ring 212. Thus, the larger end of the cavity formed between the third guide surface 21161 and the fourth guide surface 21162 is located at the opening of the second guide groove 2116. During the process of installing the slush baffle ring 212 onto the cup body 211, the second snap-fit ​​protrusion 21211 can be easily inserted into the second guide groove 2116. Furthermore, since both the third guide surface 21161 and the fourth guide surface 21162 are inclined surfaces, the second snap-fit ​​protrusion 21211 can slide along the third guide surface 21161 or along the fourth guide surface 21162 toward the second slot 2115. That is, at least one of the third guide surface 21161 and the fourth guide surface 21162 can guide the second snap-fit ​​protrusion 21211 to move toward the second slot 2115.

[0210] In one implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, at least one second slot 2115 is provided with a second limiting protrusion 21151, that is, the second limiting protrusion 21151 may be provided in some of the second slots 2115, or the second limiting protrusion 21151 may be provided in all of the second slots 2115. Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, during the process of the second engaging protrusion 21211 engaging with the second slot 2115, the second engaging protrusion 21211 passes the second limiting protrusion 21151 and reaches the engaging position. The second limiting protrusion 21151 abuts against the corresponding second engaging protrusion 21211 to prevent the second engaging protrusion 21211 from disengaging from the second slot 2115. The second limiting protrusion 21151 acts as a lock for the second engaging protrusion 21211, thereby locking the slush baffle ring 212.

[0211] In one embodiment, all the second slots 2115 are evenly spaced apart along the circumference of the cup body 211, so that the second slots 2115 are subjected to balanced force, avoiding excessive local force that could cause deformation of the second slots 2115 and / or the second snap-fit ​​protrusions 21211, affecting the stability of the snap-fit.

[0212] In one implementation, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the shaved ice cup 21 includes a shaved ice cavity 2114, with a stirring shaft 24 at least partially located within the shaved ice cavity 2114. The tip 2611 of the shaved ice blade 26 extends into the shaved ice cavity 2114 from the shaved ice outlet 2112. Under the stirring of the stirring shaft 24, the ice cubes in the shaved ice cavity 2114 can collide with the tip 2611 and be broken into shaved ice by the tip 2611.

[0213] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the shaved ice outlet 2112 is located on the bottom cavity wall of the shaved ice chamber 2114 so that the shaved ice can fall out from the shaved ice outlet 2112.

[0214] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom wall of the shaved ice cavity 2114 is funnel-shaped, and the extension direction of the shaved ice outlet 2112 intersects the center point of the bottom wall of the shaved ice cavity 2114, which facilitates the shaved ice on the bottom wall of the shaved ice cavity 2114 falling out of the shaved ice outlet 2112. Of course, the shape of the bottom wall of the shaved ice cavity 2114 is not limited to a funnel shape; it can also be that the bottom walls on both sides of the shaved ice outlet 2112 slope downwards in the direction toward the shaved ice outlet 2112.

[0215] In one implementation, such as Figure 7 As shown, the blade tip 2611 includes a cutting edge 26111, which extends obliquely in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the stirring shaft 24. In this way, when the stirring shaft 24 rotates, the ice cubes will be pushed by the stirring shaft 24 and move rapidly. The oblique extension direction of the cutting edge 26111 is opposite to the movement direction of the ice cubes to ensure the shaved ice effect.

[0216] In one implementation, such as Figure 7As shown, the ice shaver 26 is bent to form a working part 261 and a mounting part 262. The mounting part 262 is located below the cup body 211 and connected to the cup body 211. The end of the working part 261 away from the mounting part 262 forms a blade tip 2611. Furthermore, since the ice shaver 26 needs to collide with the rapidly moving ice, it is necessary to ensure that the ice shaver 26 is securely installed and not easily shaken. The mounting part 262 is fixed to the bottom wall of the cup body 211 by a first fastener 213 (such as a screw).

[0217] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the working part 261 extends obliquely away from the mounting part 262 in the direction toward the shaved ice chamber 2114, so that the cutting edge 26111 of the blade tip 2611 extends obliquely in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the stirring shaft 24. Furthermore, the angle formed between the working part 261 and the mounting part 262 is an obtuse angle to prevent the mounting part 262 from blocking directly below the shaved ice outlet 2112.

[0218] In one implementation, such as Figure 7 As shown, the shaved ice mechanism 2 also includes an ice shaving baffle 27, which is located on the side of the shaved ice blade 26 away from the cup body 211. The ice shaving baffle 27 is used to prevent ice shavings from adhering to the surface of the side of the shaved ice blade 26 away from the cup body 211. Specifically, since ice cubes melt easily after being crushed into ice shavings, they tend to stick to the shaved ice blade 26, which can cause blockage of the ice shaving outlet 2112. This solution solves the problem of ice shavings easily sticking to the shaved ice blade 26 by setting up the ice shaving baffle 27.

[0219] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the slush baffle 27 includes a first blocking part 271 and a second blocking part 272. The top wall 2711 of the first blocking part 271 is inclined and is in contact with the outer wall surface of the working part 261. The second blocking part 272 is located below the mounting part 262. In this way, during the process of slush falling, the first blocking part 271 can separate the slush from the outer wall of the working part 261 as much as possible to reduce the probability of the slush sticking to the working part 261. In addition, the second blocking part 272 can separate the slush from the mounting part 262 as much as possible to reduce the probability of the slush sticking to the mounting part 262. Furthermore, the first blocking part 271 extends obliquely away from the second blocking part 272 in the direction toward the ice-shaving cavity 2114. The angle formed by the first blocking part 271 and the second blocking part 272 is an obtuse angle, the acute angle formed by the working part 261 and the horizontal plane is a first acute angle, and the acute angle formed by the first blocking part 271 and the horizontal plane is a second acute angle. The first acute angle is smaller than the second acute angle, that is, the slope of the first blocking part 271 is greater than the slope of the working part 261. Thus, if ice sand sticks to the outer wall of the side of the first blocking part 271 away from the working part 261, the ice sand is not easy to stick to because the slope of the first blocking part 271 is greater, and it is easy to fall off.

[0220] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the second blocking part 272 and the mounting part 262 abut against each other to reduce the gap between them and prevent ice residue from remaining in the gap. In one specific embodiment, the second blocking part 272 is located below the mounting part 262, and the first fastener 213 passes through the second blocking part 272 and the mounting part 262 in sequence and is screwed onto the bottom wall of the cup body 211. This facilitates assembly and ensures that the second blocking part 272 fits snugly against the bottom wall of the mounting part 262.

[0221] In one implementation, such as Figure 7 As shown, there are two ice shaving blades 26 to increase the ice shaving speed, and there are also two ice shaving baffles 27. The ice shaving blades 26 and the ice shaving baffles 27 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. Furthermore, the two ice shaving blades 26 are symmetrically arranged, which helps to improve the ice shaving efficiency.

[0222] In one embodiment, the shaved ice baffle 27 and the shaved ice blade 26 are made of different materials, with the surface anti-sticking property of the shaved ice baffle 27 being superior to that of the shaved ice blade 26. This can be achieved by the shaved ice baffle 27 and the shaved ice blade 26 being made of completely different materials, or by the shaved ice baffle 27 having different surface materials. By optimizing the surface anti-sticking property of the shaved ice baffle 27, it is possible to prevent shaved ice from sticking to the shaved ice blade 26 while also minimizing the possibility of shaved ice sticking to the shaved ice baffle 27 itself.

[0223] In one implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, a bushing 233 is installed on the output shaft 2311 of the first power source 231. One end of the stirring shaft 24 is detachably connected to the bushing 233, and the other end of the stirring shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the cup body 211 of the shaved ice cup 21. In this way, when the shaved ice cup 21 is removed, the stirring shaft 24 is disengaged from the bushing 233, and the stirring shaft 24, the shaved ice blade 26, and the shaved ice baffle 27 are all removed together with the shaved ice cup 21 for easy cleaning.

[0224] Furthermore, such as Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, a first spline key 243 is provided on the outer wall of one end of the stirring shaft 24, and a second spline key 2331 is provided on the inner wall of the bushing 233. The first spline key 243 and the second spline key 2331 are bonded together, that is, as shown in the figure. Figure 3 As shown, the stirring shaft 24 and the bushing 233 are connected by a spline key to achieve torque transmission, and the stirring shaft 24 and the bushing 233 are easy to install and remove.

[0225] Furthermore, such as Figure 14 and Figure 15As shown, the width of the teeth of the first spline key 243 is 1-2 mm. Furthermore, the end of the first spline key 243 near the first power source 231 is provided with a first guide portion 244, which gradually narrows in the direction towards the first power source 231. The inner wall of the bushing 233 is provided with a second guide portion 2332, the shape of which is the same as or approximately the same as the shape of the first guide portion 244. During the process of rotating the shaved ice cup 21 into the mounting component 22, the stirring shaft 24 rotates while inserting into the bushing 233. The first guide portion 244 first contacts the second spline key 2331 to facilitate quick and automatic alignment of the stirring shaft 24, preventing jamming when the shaved ice cup 21 is screwed into the mounting component 22. When the stirring shaft 24 is in place, the first guide portion 244 and the second guide portion 2332 are in full-face contact.

[0226] In one implementation, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the cup body 211 has a slot 2117, and the stirring shaft 24 has a socket 241. The shaved ice mechanism 2 also includes a pin 281, one end of which is tightly fitted into the slot 2117, and the other end is inserted into the socket 241 with a clearance fit. When it is necessary to remove the stirring shaft 24, external force causes the stirring shaft 24 to disengage from the pin 281, leaving the pin 281 in the slot 2117. When it is necessary to install the stirring shaft 24, the socket 241 is aligned with the pin 281 and inserted. Furthermore, the pin 281 is a steel nail, which has high structural strength and is not easily worn.

[0227] In one implementation, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the main unit 1 also includes an ice water tank 141 and an ice water outlet 12321, through which the ice water in the ice water tank 141 is supplied to the outside. The ice drink machine 100 of this solution has the functions of providing ice cubes, providing shaved ice, and providing ice water, thus enriching its functions.

[0228] Furthermore, such as Figure 11 As shown, the ice water outlet 12321 is located on one side of the ice outlet 121 and the two are set close to each other. In this way, ice water can also be collected at the ice block receiving position, which is convenient for user operation.

[0229] Furthermore, such as Figure 11As shown, the ice water outlet 12321 is located on the front side of the ice outlet 121, making it convenient for users to collect ice water. Compared to a design where the ice water outlet 12321 is located on the rear side of the ice outlet 121, this design avoids the ice water outlet 12321 being too close to the front shell 131 of the main unit 1, preventing misalignment between the center of the ice water container's rim and the ice water outlet 12321, which could lead to a significant deviation between the two positions and cause ice water to spill outside the container during collection. Of course, the ice water outlet 12321 can also be located on the left or right side of the ice outlet 121.

[0230] In one implementation, such as Figure 8 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the main unit 1 also includes a chilled water pipe 142, which is connected to a chilled water outlet 12321. The chilled water pipe 142 is used to transport chilled water from the chilled water tank 141 to the chilled water outlet 12321. The chilled water pipe 142 is installed in the refrigerator 123, and fixing the chilled water pipe 142 through the refrigerator 123 helps to reduce the number of internal components of the main unit 1.

[0231] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, the bottom of the refrigerator 123 is provided with an annular extension 1231, which surrounds the ice outlet 121 to hide the position of the ice outlet 121 and improve the aesthetics.

[0232] Furthermore, such as Figure 11 As shown, the refrigerator 123 has an ice water outlet pipe 1232. The top end of the ice water outlet pipe 1232 is connected to the ice water pipe 142, and the bottom end of the ice water outlet pipe 1232 forms an ice water outlet 12321. The annular extension 1231 includes a horizontal extension section 12311 and a vertical extension section 12312 distributed sequentially in the vertical direction. The ice water outlet pipe 1232 passes through the horizontal extension section 12311 in the vertical direction. In this design, the ice water outlet pipe 1232 is directly integrated into the refrigerator 123, reducing assembly steps and contributing to a more compact structure.

[0233] Furthermore, such as Figure 11 As shown, the ice water outlet 12321 is located below the vertical extension section 12312, which makes it easy for users to know the location of the ice water outlet 12321.

[0234] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 11As shown, the ice water outlet pipe 1232 includes an inlet section 12322 and an outlet section 12323 that are interconnected. The ice water outlet 12321 is located at the end of the outlet section 12323 opposite to the inlet section 12322. The ice water outlet 12321 is located in front of the ice outlet 121. The outlet section 12323 extends backward at a downward angle, and the ice water outlet 12321 can discharge ice water at an angle backward. In this way, the ice water container and the shaved ice cup 21 can be placed in the same position, which is convenient for user operation. Furthermore, in the process of receiving ice water, ice cubes, or shaved ice, in order to prevent ice water, ice cubes, or shaved ice from falling onto the placement surface (such as a countertop), such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the main unit 1 also includes a water collection box 16, which comprises a first placement area 161 and a second placement area 162. The first placement area 161 is located below the shaved ice outlet 2112, and the second placement area 162 is located below the ice water outlet 12321 and the ice outlet 121. When collecting ice water, the ice water container is placed in the second placement area 162, and when collecting ice cubes, the shaved ice cup 21 is also placed in the second placement area 162. Furthermore, since the ice cubes will generate impact force during the falling process, in order to prevent the shaved ice cup 21 from shifting, the second placement area 162 is designed with a concave structure. In this way, the second placement area 162 can play a role in preventing the shaved ice cup 21 from shifting.

[0235] In one implementation, such as Figure 8 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the main unit 1 also includes a refrigerator 114, in which water is cooled by an ice-making mechanism 11 to form ice. The bottom wall of the refrigerator 114 is provided with a first drain hole 1141, and the bottom of the refrigerator 122 is provided with a second drain hole 1221. The ice water tank 141 is located inside the main unit housing 13 of the main unit 1. The lowest point of the cabinet cavity of the refrigerator 114 and the lowest point of the cabinet cavity of the refrigerator 122 are both higher than the lowest point of the cabinet cavity of the ice water tank 141. The first drain hole 1141 and the second drain hole 1221 are respectively connected to the ice water tank 141. In this way, the ice water formed in the refrigerator 114 can be discharged into the ice water tank 141 through the first drain hole 1141, and the ice water formed by the melting of ice in the refrigerator 122 can be discharged into the ice water tank 141 through the second drain hole 1221, thus avoiding the residue of ice water in the refrigerator 114 and the refrigerator 122.

[0236] Furthermore, such as Figure 13 As shown, the ice water tank 141 is located below the refrigerator 114 and the storage refrigerator 122, and the arrangement is reasonable and compact.

[0237] In one implementation, such as Figure 8 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the ice water tank 141 is connected to the ice-making mechanism 11 by a water circuit. The ice water tank 141 provides ice water to the ice-making mechanism 11, and the ice water is transported to the ice-making refrigerator 114 to make ice blocks. Specifically, the ice-making mechanism 11 includes a compressor 111, a condenser 112, and an evaporator 113. Since the compressor 111 is large and heavy, it is located below the ice water tank 141. The condenser 112 is located on one side of the compressor 111, and the evaporator 113 is located in the ice-making refrigerator 114. The evaporator 113 includes multiple cooling columns 1131. The compressor 111, condenser 112, and evaporator 113 are connected by pipes through which refrigerant flows. During the ice-making process, the compressor 111 compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas, which is then transported to the condenser 112. The condenser 112 converts the gas into a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid, which is then transported through pipes to the evaporator 113. This allows the evaporator 113 to further cool the ice water in the refrigerator 114, producing ice cubes. The ice cubes are then wrapped around the cooling column 1131. The high-temperature refrigerant then flows in the reverse direction to the evaporator 113, heating the connection between the ice cubes and the cooling column 1131, causing the ice cubes to detach from the cooling column 1131.

[0238] In one implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the main unit 1 is equipped with an ice water switch 151, which is movably installed on the front cover 131 and located below the ice water outlet 12321. When the ice water container is placed below the ice water outlet 12321, the ice water switch 151 can be pressed by the ice water container, causing the ice water switch 151 to move backward, thereby triggering the main unit 1 to output ice water through the ice water outlet 12321. The user does not need to manually press the ice water switch 151, making operation convenient.

[0239] In one implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the main unit 1 also includes an ice block switch 152, which is movably mounted on the main unit housing 13 of the main unit 1 and is located above the ice outlet 121. The ice block switch 152 moves to trigger the main unit 1 to output ice blocks through the ice outlet 121.

[0240] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the ice cube switch 152 is movably mounted on the second housing 132. Specifically, the second housing 132 protrudes from the front of the front housing 131 and is closer to the user for easy operation. Furthermore, the ice cube switch 152 is mounted on the front side wall of the second housing 132, making it prominently positioned and even closer to the user.

[0241] In one implementation, such as Figure 1As shown, the main unit 1 is also equipped with a mode switch 153, which controls the start and stop of the ice-making mechanism 11. Specifically, when ice is not needed (such as during nighttime rest or in winter), the ice-making mechanism 11 is turned off by the mode switch 153, and ice making is not started, saving energy and avoiding noise.

[0242] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mode switch 153 is located on the second cover 132, which is close to the user for easy operation. Furthermore, the mode switch 153 is located on the front wall of the second cover 132, in a prominent position and even closer to the user.

[0243] In one implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the shaved ice mechanism 2 also includes a slush switch 282, which is used to control the shaved ice mechanism 2 to make and supply slush. In one specific embodiment, the user can control the shaved ice shaving time by controlling the duration of pressing the slush switch 282.

[0244] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the smoothie switch 282 is located on the first housing 25, which is close to the user for easy operation. Furthermore, the smoothie switch 282 is located on the front wall of the first housing 25, in a prominent position and even closer to the user.

[0245] In one embodiment, the body of the shaved ice cup 21 is at least partially visible. On the one hand, the shaved ice cup 21 can create a certain visual effect, allowing the user to intuitively watch the shaved ice process. On the other hand, the user can start or pause shaved ice according to their shaved ice needs to obtain the desired texture of shaved ice, which is convenient to operate.

[0246] Furthermore, the shaved ice cup 21 has a transparent body, making it easy to manufacture.

[0247] In one implementation, such as Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the ice dispensing mechanism 12 also includes a second motor 124 and a screw rod 125, with the screw rod 125 at least partially located within the storage refrigerator 122. Ice blocks produced by the ice-making mechanism 11 are transported to the storage refrigerator 122 for storage. When ice blocks need to be removed, the second motor 124 provides rotational driving force to the screw rod 125, which rotates to push the ice blocks out of the storage refrigerator 122. In this design, the ice dispensing mechanism 12, through the cooperation of the second motor 124 and the screw rod 125, electrically pushes the ice blocks out of the storage refrigerator 122, making ice dispensing convenient, efficient, and with a simple structure. Furthermore, if ice blocks become stuck in the storage refrigerator 122, the second motor 124 can drive the screw rod 125 to reverse, thus resolving the problem of stuck ice blocks.

[0248] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 As shown, the second motor 124 is located above the dispensing refrigerator 123, and the storage refrigerator 122 is located to one side of the dispensing refrigerator 123. This fully utilizes the space above the dispensing refrigerator 123 to house the second motor 124, which is beneficial for the miniaturized design of the ice drink machine 100. The ice dispensing mechanism 12 also includes a meshing first bevel gear 126 and a second bevel gear 127. The first bevel gear 126 and the second bevel gear 127 cooperate to change the direction of the output torque of the second motor 124 and transmit it to the screw rod 125, thereby realizing the power transmission between the second motor 124 and the screw rod 125. Furthermore, the dispensing refrigerator 123 is located in front of the front shell 131, and the storage refrigerator 122 is located behind the front shell 131.

[0249] In one implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the shaved ice cup 21 also includes a handle 2118, which is used for gripping so that the user can pick up the shaved ice cup 21. At the same time, the handle 2118 is also used to indicate the final position of the installation of the shaved ice cup 21. That is, during the process of installing the shaved ice cup 21 onto the mounting part 22, the user can determine whether the shaved ice cup 21 is installed in place according to the position of the handle 2118.

[0250] In one implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the main unit 1 has a support portion 1331, which is used to support itself on a placement surface (such as a tabletop). Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting bracket 22 is at least partially located outside the main housing 13, and the shaved ice cup 21 is detachably mounted on the mounting bracket 22. When the shaved ice cup 21 is mounted on the main housing 1, the shaved ice cup 21 is suspended on one side of the main housing 1 by the mounting bracket 22, and the center of gravity of the shaved ice cup 21 is offset from the center of gravity of the main housing 1 in the horizontal direction. The center of gravity of the ice drink machine 100 is located on the main housing 1, and the ice drink machine 100 has a placement space 3 below the shaved ice cup 21 for placing a container for receiving shaved ice.

[0251] In the above design, the shaved ice cup 21 is suspended on one side of the main unit 1, and the center of gravity of the ice drink machine 100 is located on the main unit 1. The center of gravity of the shaved ice cup 21 is horizontally offset from that of the main unit 1. Thus, the main unit 1, as the supporting structure of the ice drink machine 100, supports the shaved ice mechanism 2. During the loading and unloading of the shaved ice cup 21, the main unit 1 will not, or will not easily, interfere with the loading and unloading of the shaved ice cup 21. Users can load and unload the shaved ice cup 21 without moving or lifting the main unit 1, facilitating quick ice collection and easy removal for cleaning. Furthermore, the mounting component 22 is configured to be at least partially located outside the main unit housing 13, facilitating user operation of loading and unloading the shaved ice cup 21. Additionally, the suspension height of the shaved ice cup 21 is optimized, providing a placement space 3 below the shaved ice cup 21 in the ice drink machine 100. Users can collect ice directly below the shaved ice cup 21 using a slush container without removing the shaved ice cup 21, making operation convenient and quick.

[0252] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the shaved ice cup 21 is installed on the mounting piece 22 in an upward direction, making installation convenient.

[0253] In one implementation, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the shaved ice cup 21 is installed on the main unit 1, the mounting part 22 does not contact the placement surface (such as the countertop). The main unit 1 provides support for the shaved ice cup 21 with the mounting part 22. The mounting part 22 does not need to directly contact the placement surface, thus avoiding interference with the installation and removal of the shaved ice cup 21 due to contact with the placement surface. In other words, it avoids affecting the convenience of installing and removing the shaved ice cup 21.

[0254] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the main unit housing 13 includes a base 133, the bottom wall of which forms a support portion 1331. When the main unit 1 is placed on a placement surface, the support portion 1331 abuts against the placement surface downwards, and the base 133 supports the main unit 1. When the shaved ice cup 21 is installed on the main unit 1, the mounting member 22 and the base 133 are at least partially offset in the vertical direction, that is, the lowest point of the mounting member 22 is located above the lowest point of the base 133, to ensure that the mounting member 22 does not contact the placement surface.

[0255] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the mounting component 22 is completely located above the base 133, that is, the lowest point of the mounting component 22 is located above the highest point of the base 133. In a specific embodiment, when the shaved ice cup 21 is mounted on the mounting component 22, the first power source 231, the mounting component 22, and the shaved ice cup 21 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The first power source 231 and the mounting component 22 are both located in the first cover 25. The mounting component 22 is mounted on the front cover 131 of the main unit 1. The position of the mounting component 22 is as close as possible to the top wall inside the first cover 25 to maximize the height of the placement space 3, further facilitating the user to place a slush container in the placement space 3 for quick slush collection. In addition, the top wall of the first cover 25 is as flush as possible with the top wall of the main unit cover 13 to improve the aesthetic appearance of the ice drink machine 100.

[0256] In one implementation, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, when the shaved ice cup 21 is installed on the main unit 1, the shaved ice cup 21 is suspended in front of the front shell 131, and the mounting part 22 is snapped into the front shell 131 in a front-to-back direction, which is convenient for assembly. The snapping direction of the mounting part 22 can be parallel to the horizontal direction, so that the mounting part 22 is horizontally snapped into the front shell 131, or it can be at a certain angle to the horizontal direction, so that the mounting part 22 is obliquely snapped into the front shell 131.

[0257] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the front surface wall of the front housing 131 is provided with a third slot 1311, and one side of the mounting part 22 is provided with a third engaging protrusion 223. The third engaging protrusion 223 engages with the third slot 1311 in a front-to-back direction, making installation and removal convenient. Figure 8 As shown, in order to ensure the stability of the mounting component 22 assembly, the mounting component 22 is connected to the first cover 25 by a second fastener 29 (such as a screw), and the first cover 25 is connected to the front cover 131 by a third fastener 4 (such as a screw) to ensure a stable connection between the mounting component 22 and the front cover 131.

[0258] In one implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a placement space 3 is formed between the bottom wall of the shaved ice cup 21 and the top wall of the water collection box 16.
