[0034] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 The smoothie machine of this utility model embodiment includes an installation structure, wherein, referring to... Figures 2 to 5The installation structure includes a material cylinder 100 and a mounting base 200. A limiting member 110, L-shaped, is provided on the outer side wall of the bottom of the material cylinder 100. The mounting base 200 has a mounting groove 210, and a snap-fit ​​member 220 is provided on the inner side wall of the mounting groove 210. The bottom of the material cylinder 100 is embedded in the mounting groove 210 and rotatably engages with it. The material cylinder 100 can rotate to allow the snap-fit ​​member 220 to engage or disengage from the limiting member 110. When the snap-fit ​​member 220 engages with the limiting member 110, the limiting member 110 and the snap-fit ​​member 220 abut against each other, constraining the position of the material cylinder 100 on the mounting base 200. When the limiting member 110 and the snap-fit ​​member 220 separate, the material cylinder 100 can disengage from the mounting groove 210.

[0036] When installing the material cylinder 100, align the bottom of the material cylinder 100 with the mounting groove 210 and insert it. Rotate the material cylinder 100, and the snap-fit ​​220 inside the mounting groove 210 will gradually snap into the L-shaped limiting member 110 at the bottom of the material cylinder 100 as the material cylinder 100 rotates. When disassembling, rotate the material cylinder 100 in the opposite direction, and the snap-fit ​​220 will disengage from the limiting member 110, so that the material cylinder 100 can be removed from the mounting groove 210. Specifically, the relative displacement generated by the rotation of the material cylinder 100 and the mounting groove 210 will cause the snap-fit ​​220 and the L-shaped limiting member 110 to form a locked or unlocked state. The position of the material cylinder 100 is fixed by the contact constraint between the two. When separating, the constraint is released to achieve disassembly.

[0037] In summary, by rotating the device, the locking and locking parts 110 and 220 can be engaged or disengaged, enabling quick assembly and disassembly between the material cylinder 100 and the mounting base 200.

[0038] Preferably, as a further optimization of the above embodiments, refer to Figure 5 The limiting member 110 includes a horizontal side 111 and a vertical side 112. One end of the horizontal side 111 is connected to the end of the vertical side 112 near the mounting base 200, so that the limiting member 110 is L-shaped. When the snap-fit ​​member 220 is snapped into the limiting member 110, the snap-fit ​​member 220 abuts against the horizontal side 111 and the vertical side 112.

[0039] When the snap-fit ​​component 220 snaps into the limiting component 110, the snap-fit ​​component 220 contacts and abuts against the horizontal edge 111 of the limiting component 110 in the lateral direction and contacts and abuts against the vertical edge 112 of the limiting component 110 in the vertical direction. The snap-fit ​​component 220 abuts against both the horizontal edge 111 and the vertical edge 112 of the limiting component 110, constraining the material cylinder 100 from both circumferential and vertical directions, enhancing the stability of the material cylinder 100 after installation and preventing shaking during use.

[0040] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 3 to 5The material cylinder 100 has a sleeve 120 inside, and a pivotable cutter 300 is installed at the top of the sleeve 120. The cutter 300 is connected to a transmission mechanism 400, which is located at the upper end inside the sleeve 120. A drive shaft 230 is inserted into the middle of the mounting base 200. A drive mechanism 500 is fixedly connected to the top of the drive shaft 230. The drive mechanism 500 and the transmission mechanism 400 are in a transmission cooperation to drive the cutter 300 to rotate through the drive shaft 230.

[0041] In practical use, the drive shaft 230 rotates under the action of external force (such as being connected to a power unit like a motor for driving), driving the top drive mechanism 500 to rotate synchronously. The drive mechanism 500 forms a transmission engagement with the transmission mechanism 400 inside the sleeve 120, transmitting power to the transmission mechanism 400, which in turn drives the tool 300 to pivot around the top of the sleeve 120. Specifically, refer to... Figure 7 The transmission mechanism 400 includes a rotating shaft 410, a first rotating disk 420, and a first lever 430. One end of the rotating shaft 410 passes through the top surface of the sleeve 120 and is fixedly connected to the cutter 300. The other end is fixedly connected to the center of the first rotating disk 420. A plurality of first levers 430 are provided on the lower surface of the first rotating disk 420. The drive mechanism 500 includes a second rotating disk 510 and a second lever 520. The center of the second rotating disk 510 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the drive shaft 230. A plurality of second levers 520 are provided on the second rotating disk 510. When the drive mechanism 500 and the transmission mechanism 400 are in transmission cooperation, the first levers 430 and the second levers 520 are staggered, and the second rotating disk 510 can rotate so that the second levers 520 and the first levers 430 abut against each other.

[0042] When power is transmitted via a transmission mechanism, the drive shaft 230 rotates, causing the second rotating disk 510 to rotate. The second lever 520 on the second rotating disk 510 rotates accordingly. When the second lever 520 rotates to the position where it abuts against the first lever 430 under the first rotating disk 420, the second lever 520 abuts against the first lever 430 and pushes the first lever 430 to rotate, thereby driving the first rotating disk 420 and the rotating shaft 410 to rotate, ultimately causing the cutter 300 to rotate. The staggered arrangement of the first lever 430 and the second lever 520, and the transmission method involving the abutment of the first lever 430 and the second lever 520, results in a simple structure and reliable transmission, stably transmitting power and ensuring the continuous rotation of the cutter 300, thus meeting the material crushing requirements during the shaved ice making process. Specifically, multiple first shift plates 430 are equidistant from each other, and multiple second shift plates 520 are equidistant from each other. The interval angle between the first shift plates 430 and the interval angle between the second shift plates 520 are equal, so that multiple sets of first shift plates 430 and second shift plates 520 can simultaneously abut and transmit power synchronously.

[0043] Furthermore, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 A columnar evaporator housing 240 is fixed to the upper surface of the mounting base 200. A drive shaft 230 is built into the evaporator housing 240 and is rotatably connected to it. The upper end of the drive shaft 230 passes through the upper end of the evaporator housing 240. The drive mechanism 500 is located above the evaporator housing 240, and a sleeve 120 is fitted outside the evaporator housing 240. The drive shaft 230 rotates within the evaporator housing 240, and the evaporator housing 240 supports and guides the drive shaft 230, reducing the shaking during rotation. When the feed cylinder 100 is installed, the sleeve 120 is fitted outside the evaporator housing 240, forming a nested fit between the feed cylinder 100 and the mounting base 200. This facilitates the processing of the material in the feed cylinder 100 by the evaporator elements inside the evaporator housing 240.

[0044] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 The cutting tool 300 includes a cutter disc 310 and a cutter body 320. The cutter disc 310 is fixedly connected to the transmission mechanism 400. Multiple cutter bodies 320 are provided, extending axially along the sleeve 120. The upper end of each cutter body 320 is fixedly connected to the edge of the cutter disc 310. Multiple cutter bodies 320 are arranged at intervals around the center of the cutter disc 310. The transmission mechanism 400 drives the cutter disc 310 to rotate, causing the multiple cutter bodies 320 on its edge to rotate synchronously around the center of the cutter disc 310. The rotating cutter bodies 320 cut and crush the material inside the material cylinder 100. The multiple axially extending cutter bodies 320 are distributed in a circular pattern, allowing for full contact with the material during rotation, expanding the cutting range, improving material crushing efficiency and uniformity, and ensuring a smooth texture in the resulting shaved ice.

[0045] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 3 to 5 The material cylinder 100 includes a cylinder body 130 and a base plate 140. The cylinder body 130 is hollow inside, and a through hole 131 is provided at the lower end of the cylinder body 130. The base plate 140 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the cylinder body 130. The base plate 140 is provided with a sleeve 120, which is embedded in the through hole 131 and built into the cylinder body 130. During assembly, the chassis 140 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the cylinder 130, and the sleeve 120 on the chassis 140 is aligned with the through hole 131 at the lower end of the cylinder 130 and inserted. The sleeve 120 is built into the cylinder 130 through the through hole 131, forming a complete material cylinder 100 structure, which facilitates subsequent installation procedures. The inner edge of the through hole 131 is fitted with a sealing ring 132, which abuts against the outer wall of the sleeve 120. The sealing ring 132 fills the gap between the through hole 131 and the sleeve 120, effectively preventing liquid in the material cylinder 100 from leaking out of the gap, improving the sealing performance of the material cylinder 100 and keeping the equipment clean.

[0046] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 The mounting groove 210 is provided with a limiting notch 211, and the side wall of the material cylinder 100 is provided with a limiting block 150. When the bottom of the material cylinder 100 is built into the mounting groove 210, the limiting block 150 is built into the limiting notch 211. When the limiting block 150 and one side of the limiting notch 211 abut against each other, the snap-fit ​​part 220 snaps into the limiting part 110.

[0047] When the bottom of the material cylinder 100 is embedded in the mounting groove 210, the limiting block 150 on the side wall of the material cylinder 100 enters the limiting notch 211 of the mounting groove 210. When the material cylinder 100 is rotated, the limiting block 150 moves within the limiting notch 211. When the limiting block 150 abuts against one side of the limiting notch 211, the snap-fit ​​part 220 snaps into the limiting part 110. The cooperation between the limiting notch 211 and the limiting block 150 restricts the rotation angle of the material cylinder 100, ensuring that the snap-fit ​​part 220 can accurately snap into the limiting part 110, avoiding installation deviation caused by excessive rotation, and improving the convenience and accuracy of installation.

[0048] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
