[0040] Reference Figure 1 The smoothie machine of this utility model embodiment includes an assembly structure, wherein, referring to... Figures 2 to 7 The assembly structure includes a barrel 100, a cutter 200, and a mounting base 300. A sleeve 110 is provided inside the barrel 100. The cutter 200 is pivotally mounted on the top of the sleeve 110 and is connected to a transmission mechanism 500 located at the upper end of the sleeve 110. The mounting base 300 has a mounting groove 310, in the middle of which an evaporator housing 320 is mounted. The barrel 100 is embedded in and detachably connected to the mounting groove 310. When the barrel 100 is installed in the mounting groove 310, the sleeve 110 is fitted over the evaporator housing 320. A drive shaft 40... The cylinder 100 is pivotally integrated inside the evaporator housing 320. One end of the drive shaft 400 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting base 300, and the other end passes through the top of the evaporator housing 320 and is fixedly connected to the drive mechanism 600. In the axial direction of the sleeve 110, the inner diameter of the sleeve 110 gradually increases from top to bottom. When the cylinder 100 is installed in the mounting groove 310, the inner sidewall of the sleeve 110 is in contact with the outer sidewall of the evaporator housing 320. When the cylinder 100 is installed in the mounting groove 310, the drive mechanism 600 and the transmission mechanism 500 are in transmission cooperation to drive the cutter 200 to rotate through the drive shaft 400.

[0041] When the operator lowers the barrel 100 into the mounting slot 310 of the mounting base 300, the sleeve 110 (with a conical inner wall) at the bottom of the barrel 100 begins to fit onto the evaporator housing 320 (also with a conical outer wall). As the barrel 100 continues to be pressed down, the conical inner wall slides along the conical outer wall until the two are tightly fitted together. After assembly, the two mating conical surfaces (the inner wall of the sleeve 110 and the outer wall of the evaporator housing 320) can automatically guide and reach a precise concentric position under axial pressure, and generate friction at the contact surface to constrain radial movement.

[0042] Simultaneously, the transmission mechanism 500 located at the top of the sleeve 110 and the drive mechanism 600 located at the top of the drive shaft 400 approach each other and eventually engage in transmission. At this time, the drive shaft 400 rotates, driving the drive mechanism 600, which transmits power to the transmission mechanism 500 with which it engages in transmission. The transmission mechanism 500 drives the cutter 200 to pivot at the top of the sleeve 110. When the material cylinder 100 is installed in place, the drive mechanism 600 and the transmission mechanism 500 can automatically achieve transmission engagement, realizing the effective connection between the power source (drive shaft 400) and the working part (cutter 200) under the detachable structure of the material cylinder 100.

[0043] In summary, the assembly structure of this smoothie machine has the following effects:

[0044] 1. The inner wall of the sleeve 110 and the outer wall of the evaporator shell 320 are both inclined. After installation, the sleeve 110 and the evaporator shell 320 can fit tightly together, ensuring that the material cylinder 100 will not sway from side to side.

[0045] 2. After the sleeve 110 and the evaporator shell 320 are positioned and constrained, the transmission mechanism 500 and the drive mechanism 600 complete the transmission engagement, and then the tool 200 can be driven to pivot through the drive shaft 400.

[0046] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 The transmission mechanism 500 includes a rotating shaft 510, a first rotating disk 520, and a plurality of first levers 530. One end of the rotating shaft 510 passes through the top surface of the sleeve 110 and is fixedly connected to the cutter 200, while the other end is fixedly connected to the center of the first rotating disk 520. A plurality of first levers 530 are provided on the lower surface of the first rotating disk 520. The drive mechanism 600 includes a second rotating disk 610 and a plurality of second levers 620. The center of the second rotating disk 610 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the drive shaft 400, and a plurality of second levers 620 are provided on the upper surface of the second rotating disk 610. When the drive mechanism 600 and the transmission mechanism 500 are in transmission cooperation, the first levers 530 and the second levers 620 are staggered, and the second rotating disk 610 can rotate so that the second levers 620 and the first levers 530 abut against each other.

[0047] When the barrel 100 is installed in place, the first rotating disk 520 of the transmission mechanism 500 and its lower first deflector 530 descend to approach the second rotating disk 610 of the drive mechanism 600 and its upper second deflector 620. The first deflector 530 inserts into the gap between the second deflectors 620, forming an interleaved state. When the drive shaft 400 drives the second rotating disk 610 to rotate, the second deflector 620 sequentially pushes the adjacent first deflectors 530, thereby driving the first rotating disk 520 and the rotating shaft 510 to rotate, ultimately driving the cutter 200 to pivot. Through the interleaved arrangement and abutment of the first deflector 530 and the second deflector 620, torque transmission between the drive mechanism 600 and the transmission mechanism 500 is achieved.

[0048] Specifically, multiple first shift plates 530 are equidistant from each other, and multiple second shift plates 620 are equidistant from each other. The interval angle between the first shift plates 530 and the interval angle between the second shift plates 620 are equal, so that multiple sets of first shift plates 530 and second shift plates 620 can simultaneously abut and transmit power synchronously.

[0049] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7The second rotating disk 610 is provided with a receiving groove 611, and the second lever 620 is fixed in the receiving groove 611. When the drive mechanism 600 and the transmission mechanism 500 are in transmission engagement, the first lever 530 is built into the receiving groove 611. When the material cylinder 100 is installed in place and the transmission mechanism 500 and the drive mechanism 600 are in transmission engagement, the first lever 530 on the first rotating disk 520 not only inserts into the gap between the second levers 620, but its entire body is also embedded in the receiving groove 611 provided on the second rotating disk 610, enhancing the stability of the motion coupling.

[0050] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6 The cutting tool 200 includes a cutting disc 210 and a cutting tool body 220. The cutting disc 210 is fixedly connected to the transmission mechanism 500. Multiple cutting tools 220 are provided. The cutting tools 220 extend along the axial direction of the sleeve 110. The upper end of the cutting tool body 220 is fixedly connected to the edge of the cutting disc 210. Multiple cutting tools 220 are arranged around the center of the cutting disc 210 at intervals.

[0051] The transmission mechanism 500 drives the cutter head 210 to rotate, and the cutter head 210 drives multiple blades 220 on its edge to rotate synchronously around the center of the cutter head 210. The rotating blades 220 cut and crush the material in the material cylinder 100. The multiple axially extending blades 220 are distributed around the material, and can fully contact the material during rotation, expanding the cutting range, improving the material crushing efficiency and crushing uniformity, and ensuring that the produced shaved ice has a delicate texture. As a further optimization of the above embodiment, a positioning ring 230 is connected between the multiple blades 220. The positioning ring 230 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sleeve 110, and the positioning ring 230 and the sleeve 110 are rotatably engaged. The positioning ring 230 connects the lower ends of the multiple surrounding blades 220 together to form an integral frame, enhancing the overall rigidity and structural stability of the blade assembly 220, and preventing the blades 220 from deforming or displacing relative to each other when rotating at high speed or under stress. The positioning ring 230 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sleeve 110 and can rotate around the sleeve 110. When the cutter head 210 drives the cutter body 220 to rotate, the positioning ring 230 rotates around the sleeve 110 together, providing a radial support point at the lower end of the cutter body 220 assembly, making the rotation more stable.

[0052] In some embodiments, one end of the drive shaft 400 away from the drive mechanism 600 extends through the bottom of the mounting base 300 and is connected to a power unit. The rotational power generated by the power unit (such as a motor) is transmitted through its output shaft to the end of the drive shaft 400 extending through the bottom of the mounting base 300. The drive shaft 400 transmits power to the drive mechanism 600 and the second rotating disk 610 at its upper end.

[0053] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3The feed cylinder 100 includes a cylinder body 120 and a base 130. The cylinder body 120 is hollow inside, and a through hole 121 is provided at the lower end of the cylinder body 120. The base 130 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the cylinder body 120, and a sleeve 110 is provided on the base 130. The sleeve 110 is embedded in the through hole 121 and built into the cylinder body 120. The cylinder body 120 and the base 130 are assembled and fixed. The sleeve 110, as part of the base 130, passes upward through the through hole 121 at the lower end of the cylinder body 120 and extends into the internal space of the cylinder body 120. The detachable design facilitates thorough cleaning of the inside of the feed cylinder 100 and the area of ​​the sleeve 110. In addition, the inside of the sleeve 110 can serve as the installation area of ​​the evaporator and for material processing.

[0054] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 A sealing ring 140 is fitted onto the inner edge of the through hole 121, and the sealing ring 140 abuts against the outer wall of the sleeve 110. The sealing ring 140 is installed on the inner edge of the through hole 121 at the lower end of the cylinder 120. When the chassis 130 is assembled and fixed with the cylinder 120, the sleeve 110 passes through the through hole 121, and its outer wall is tightly pressed against the sealing ring 140. The elastic material (sealing ring 140) is squeezed and deformed during assembly, filling the gap between the two mating surfaces (the inner edge of the through hole 121 and the outer wall of the sleeve 110) and blocking the leakage channel.

[0055] In some embodiments, refer to 1, Figure 5 and Figure 6 The mounting groove 310 is provided with a limiting notch 311, and the side wall of the barrel 100 is provided with a limiting block 150. When the bottom of the barrel 100 is embedded in the mounting groove 310, and the limiting block 150 is embedded in the limiting notch 311, the barrel 100 and the mounting groove 310 are locked together when one side of the limiting block 150 and the limiting notch 311 abuts; when the other side of the limiting block 150 and the limiting notch 311 abuts, the barrel 100 and the mounting groove 310 are disengaged. When installing the barrel 100, the bottom of the barrel 100 is lowered into the mounting groove 310, and the limiting block 150 on the side wall of the barrel 100 is aligned and lowered into the limiting notch 311 of the mounting groove 310. At this time, if the barrel 100 is rotated, the limiting block 150 will move along the contour of the limiting notch 311. When the limit block 150 is rotated to abut against one side wall of the limit notch 311, the cylinder 100 is locked onto the mounting base 300 (through the snap-fit ​​structure between the cylinder 100 and the mounting base 300, which will not be described in detail here). When the cylinder 100 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the limit block 150 to move to abut against the other side wall of the limit notch 311, the cylinder 100 can be lifted upwards and removed.

[0056] 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.
