[0023] In existing technologies, the ice cream container and its holder in traditional ice cream making equipment are typically installed inside the device using simple snap-fit ​​or threaded fasteners. Users need to repeatedly adjust the angle or press hard to complete the installation. Disassembly also requires considerable force or specific tools, especially after the holder is contaminated with ice cream ingredients or condensation, further increasing the difficulty of operation and affecting the user experience.

[0024] This utility model proposes an ice cream machine.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 6 In one embodiment of this utility model, the ice cream machine includes: a housing 100, a blade 200, and a cup holder 300. The housing 100 has an installation space; the blade 200 is disposed in the installation space; the cup holder 300 is disposed in the installation space and is used to install the cup body 400. The cup holder 300 moves relative to the blade 200 and grinds the ice cubes in the cup body 400 by rotating the blade 200. A guide component 500 is also provided between the cup body 400 and the cup holder 300. The guide component 500 is used to limit the movement direction of the cup body 400 when it is picked up or placed.

[0026] It should be noted that in the ice cream machine proposed in this embodiment, the cup body 400 is pre-filled with frozen ice cubes. After being installed on the cup holder 300, the ice cubes in the cup body 400 are ground by the rotation of the blade 200 to make ice cream. Furthermore, during the grinding process of the blade 200, the cup holder 300 also moves towards the blade 200, thereby gradually moving the cup body 400 towards the blade 200 to ensure that the blade 200 thoroughly grinds the ice cubes in the cup body 400. It is understood that the cup holder 300 and the blade 200 are respectively connected to a drive mechanism to provide driving force.

[0027] In practical implementation, the housing 100 forms an installation space. The housing 100 can be a modular assembly structure or a single integrated structure. The outline shape of the formed installation space can be any shape to meet actual needs. The housing 100 also has an opening 511 for easy placement and removal of the cup 400. After the cup 400 is installed onto the cup holder 300, the opening 511 is sealed by a cover, protecting the cleanliness of the installation space and reducing noise leakage. The cup 400 and cup holder 300 are guided by a guide component 500 for easy placement and removal of the cup 400. The guide component 500 can include at least two structural designs, and both the cup 400 and cup holder 300 have corresponding structures that cooperate to assist in the installation of the cup 400 onto the cup holder 300 and the removal of the cup 400 from the cup holder 300. In addition, in this embodiment, the cup body 400 is also provided with a handle, which makes it easier to pick up and put down the cup body 400 by gripping the handle.

[0028] This utility model's technical solution involves placing both the blade 200 and the cup holder 300 within the installation space of the housing 100, with the cup holder 300 and blade 200 moving relative to each other. The blade 200's rotation grinds the ice inside the cup body 400. A guide component 500 is provided between the cup body 400 and the cup holder 300, restricting the direction of movement for placing and removing the cup body 400, thus facilitating its placement and removal. When placing the cup body 400 into the cup holder 300, installation is completed simply by pushing it along the guide component 500 to the corresponding position within the cup holder 300; the action is simple and quick. When removing the cup body 400 from the cup holder 300, it is simply pulled out in the direction away from the cup holder 300, making operation convenient and quick, thereby improving the ease of assembling and disassembling the cup body 400 and enhancing the user experience. In addition, the guide component 500 can also play a limiting role. When the cup body 400 is located on the cup base 300, the guide component 500 can limit the vertical displacement of the cup body 400, prevent the cup body 400 from shaking, and improve the stability of the cup body 400.

[0029] In one embodiment, the guide assembly 500 includes a first guide portion 510 and a second guide portion 520. The first guide portion 510 is disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the cup body 400, and the second guide portion 520 is disposed on the cup seat 300. When the cup body 400 moves along the cup body 400, the first guide portion 510 slides within the second guide portion 520.

[0030] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, specifically, the first guide portion 510 and the second guide portion 520 are adapted to each other. Specifically, when the cup body 400 is installed on the cup holder 300 and when the cup body 400 leaves the cup holder 300, the first guide portion 510 slides along the second guide portion 520. Furthermore, when the cup body 400 is located on the cup holder 300, the first guide portion 510 is movably engaged in the second guide portion 520 to limit the vertical displacement of the cup body 400 and the cup holder 300, and to prevent the cup body 400 from shaking excessively when the tool 200 rotates for grinding, thus avoiding potential danger.

[0031] In another embodiment, the cup holder 300 is provided with a first rib 330 and a second rib 340, and the cup body 400 is provided with a first groove (not shown in the figure). The first rib 330 is slidably adapted to the first groove, and the second rib 340 is used to contact the bottom of the cup body 400. In specific implementation, the extending direction of the first rib 330 is consistent with the direction of the cup body 400 entering and exiting the cup holder 300, and when the cup body 400 enters and exits the cup holder 300, the cup body 400 slides along the first rib 330 through the first groove, which plays a guiding role for the cup body 400. The second rib 340 is provided on the cup holder 300, and multiple second ribs are provided. The second rib 340 contacts the bottom of the cup body 400 to prevent the cup body 400 and the cup holder 300 from rubbing and scratching the cup holder 300.

[0032] In one embodiment, the cup holder 300 includes a boss portion 310, which has a mounting groove 312 for placing a cup body 400 and a pick-up and put-out port communicating with the mounting groove 312. The cup body 400 enters and exits the mounting groove 312 through the pick-up and put-out port, and a second guide portion 520 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting groove 312.

[0033] In the specific implementation process, a pick-and-place opening is provided on one side of the mounting groove 312. The width of the pick-and-place opening is at least sufficient to allow the cup body 400 to pass through smoothly. Specifically, the cup body 400 is held and pushed into the mounting groove 312 through the pick-and-place opening, so that the side wall of the mounting groove 312 fits against the side wall of the cup body 400. The side wall of the mounting groove 312 can also indicate that the cup body 400 is installed in place. The side wall of the cup body 400 is provided with a first guide portion 510, and the inner side wall of the mounting groove 312 is provided with a second guide portion 520. Furthermore, to improve the stability of the cup body 400, the side wall of the mounting groove 312 surrounds at least 3 / 4 of the side wall portion of the cup body 400. Both side walls of the mounting groove 312 are provided with second guide portions 520, and correspondingly, the side wall of the cup body 400 is provided with corresponding first guide portions 510.

[0034] In one embodiment, the first guide portion 510 is configured as a guide groove with an opening 511. At the opening 511, the two side walls of the guide groove are inclined in a direction away from each other. The second guide portion 520 is configured as a guide protrusion with an inlet 521. The two side walls of the inlet 521 are inclined in a direction closer to each other. In another embodiment, the first guide portion 510 is configured as a guide protrusion, and the second guide portion 520 is configured as a guide groove adapted to the guide protrusion. Both the guide groove and the guide protrusion extend along the travel distance of the cup body 400.

[0035] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and 3 As shown, in the specific implementation process, an opening 511 is provided at one end of the guide groove. The opening 511 is funnel-shaped. Specifically, the two side walls of the guide groove are inclined in a direction away from each other in the direction away from the guide groove, so as to increase the width of the opening 511, which facilitates fitting and sliding with the guide protrusion. The end of the guide protrusion that first enters the guide groove is the inlet end 521. The two side walls of the inlet end 521 gradually approach each other in the direction near the end, so as to reduce the width of the inlet end 521 of the guide protrusion, so as to facilitate the guide protrusion entering the guide groove.

[0036] In one embodiment, the cup holder 300 includes a base portion 320, and the base portion 320 is provided with a limiting component 600. The limiting component 600 has a limiting state and a avoidance state. In the limiting state, the limiting component 600 protrudes at least partially from the base portion 320 and is located on the displacement stroke of the cup body 400 leaving the cup holder 300 to restrict the movement of the cup body 400. In the avoidance state, the limiting component 600 is away from the base portion 320.

[0037] refer to Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the limiting component 600 is used to limit the displacement of the cup body 400 located in the mounting groove 312, thereby improving the stability of the cup body 400. In the limiting state, the limiting component 600 abuts against the side wall of the cup body 400 opposite to the opening 511 to prevent the cup body 400 from leaving the mounting groove 312, thus playing a limiting role. In the avoidance state, the limiting component 600 moves away from the side wall of the cup body 400 and retracts into the interior of the base portion 320, away from the base portion 320, to avoid affecting the cup body 400 leaving the mounting groove 312. Simultaneously, it can be understood that when in the avoidance state, it is also used to push the cup body 400 along the top surface of the base portion 320 into the mounting groove 312 to complete the installation of the cup body 400. (Reference) Figure 3 As shown, the boss portion 310 is located on the top surface of the base portion 320, and the bottom surface of the mounting groove 312 is on the same plane as the top surface of the boss portion 310. The cup body 400 is pushed into the mounting groove 312 along the base portion 320. In this way, the cup body 400 can move smoothly into the mounting groove 312 without obstruction, so as to facilitate the installation of the cup body 400.

[0038] In one embodiment, the base portion 320 is provided with a mounting cavity and a first clearance opening 321 communicating with the mounting cavity. The limiting component 600 includes a reset member 620 and a limiting body 610. In the limiting state, the limiting body 610 at least partially passes through the first clearance opening 321 to block the movement of the cup body 400. In the clearance state, the limiting body 610 is located in the mounting cavity. The reset member 620 is connected to the base and the limiting body 610 respectively, and has the tendency to drive the limiting body 610 from the clearance state to the limiting state.

[0039] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting cavity of the base portion 320 is used to accommodate the limiting component 600. Specifically, the limiting body 610 of the limiting component 600 has at least a partial extension through the first clearance opening 321 to the top of the base portion 320 to block the cup 400, or the limiting body 610 retracts into the mounting cavity to avoid affecting the movement of the cup 400, thereby realizing the switching of the limiting component 600 between the limiting state and the clearance state. Of course, it is understood that the elastic member is used to provide the driving force for the limiting body 610 to switch between the limiting state and the clearance state. In specific implementation, one end of the elastic member is connected to the base portion 320, and the other end is connected to the limiting body 610. When the limiting body 610 is in the clearance state, the elastic member is compressed. When it is necessary to switch to the limiting state, the pressure applied to the elastic member is removed, and the elastic member drives the limiting body 610 to move under its own elastic force and at least partially extend out of the base portion 320 to abut against the cup 400.

[0040] In one embodiment, the limiting body 610 includes a blocking part 612 and a pressing part 611. The base part 320 also has a second clearance opening 322 communicating with the mounting cavity. In the limiting state, the blocking part 612 is used to block the movement of the body. The pressing part 611 extends out of the mounting cavity at least partially through the second clearance opening 322. Pressing the pressing part 611 causes the limiting body 610 to switch from the limiting state to the clearance state.

[0041] In practice, when the cup body 400 is located in the mounting groove 312, the blocking part 612 of the limiting body 610 extends through the first clearance opening 321 and blocks the cup body 400 from leaving the mounting groove 312, thus restricting the cup body 400 from moving out of the mounting groove 312. Pressing the pressing part 611 causes the blocking part 612 to retract into the mounting cavity, releasing the obstruction on the cup body 400 and facilitating the cup body 400 to leave the mounting groove 312.

[0042] In the specific implementation process, the limiting body 610 is an integral structure. Under the elastic operation of the reset member 620, the blocking part 612 extends out of the mounting cavity through the first clearance opening 321 and the pressing part 611 extends out of the mounting cavity through the second clearance opening 322. The reset member 620 can be configured as a spring or other elastic member. Furthermore, in order to ensure the smooth movement of the limiting body 610, multiple reset members 620 can be provided.

[0043] In one embodiment, the blocking portion 612 is provided with a first sidewall 6121, which is configured as an inclined surface. (See reference) Figure 5 As shown, in the specific implementation, the first sidewall 6121 is the sidewall opposite to the blocking part 612 and the mounting groove 312, so as to push the cup body 400 into the mounting groove 312. The blocking part 612 is also provided with a second sidewall, which is adapted to the sidewall of the cup body 400. In the specific implementation, the cup body 400 can be of any shape. The second sidewall fits against the outer peripheral wall of the cup body 400 to restrict the movement of the cup body 400 away from the mounting groove 312. It can also be understood that the blocking part 612 also works with the mounting groove 312 to realize the displacement of the cup body 400 on the base, ensuring the stability of the cup body 400 during the ice grinding process.

[0044] In one embodiment, the base portion 320 is provided with a support column 323, which is disposed in the mounting cavity. The reset member 620 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the support column 323. One end of the support column 323 is provided with a baffle, and one end of the reset member 620 abuts against the baffle.

[0045] refer to Figure 4 As shown, one end of the support column 323 is connected to the base portion 320 and located within the mounting cavity, while the other end extends towards the mounting cavity and is provided with a baffle. The baffle extends radially along the support column 323, and the support column 323 corresponds one-to-one with the reset member 620. The limiting body 610 of the limiting assembly 600 has a through hole 613, through which the support column 323 movably passes. Additionally, the through hole 613 has a flange, and the reset member 620 is fitted around the outer periphery of the flange, which can fix the reset member 620 and prevent it from shaking, thus affecting compression and elongation. The reset member 620 movably fits around the outer periphery of the support column 323, with one end of the reset member 620 contacting the limiting assembly 600 and the other end contacting the baffle. When the limiting component 600 is pressed and moved into the mounting cavity, the limiting component 600 presses against the reset component 620, the reset component 620 is compressed, and the blocking part 612 descends into the mounting cavity, facilitating the removal and placement of the cup body 400; when the pressing force is released, the reset component 620, under the action of elasticity, drives the limiting component 600 to rise and reset, causing the blocking part 612 to extend out of the mounting cavity, thus achieving the function of blocking and limiting.

[0046] The base portion 320 is also provided with a guide post 324, which is disposed within the mounting cavity. The limiting body 610 is provided with a guide hole 614 adapted to the guide post 324, and the guide post 324 is movably inserted through the guide hole 614. Specifically, one end of the guide post 324 is connected to the side of the base portion 320 facing the mounting cavity, and the other end extends into the mounting cavity. The limiting body 610 has a guide hole 614, and the limiting body 610 slides, causing the guide post 324 to slide along the guide hole 614 to achieve a stable guiding effect. In addition, the guide hole 614 is provided with a flange, and the inner wall of the flange surrounds the outer periphery of the guide post 324, which can provide stable support for the sliding between the guide post 324 and the guide hole 614, making the sliding of the guide post 324 within the guide hole 614 more stable. It can be understood that in order to improve the stability of the limiting body 610, multiple sets of guide posts 324 and guide holes 614 are provided to fit together.

[0047] In one embodiment, the ice cream machine further includes a first drive module 700 and a second drive module 800, both of which are located within the installation space. The first drive module 700 is driven to the cutter 200, and the second drive module 800 is driven to the cup holder 300. The second drive module 800 drives the cup holder 300 to move toward the cutter 200, and the first drive module 700 drives the cutter 200 to rotate within the cup body 400 on the cup holder 300.

[0048] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the specific implementation process, the first drive module 700 includes a first drive motor 710, which is connected to a belt drive assembly 720. The belt drive assembly 720 is connected to a drive shaft 730, which is connected to the cutter 200. The first drive motor 710 drives the cutter 200 to rotate. The second drive module 800 includes a second drive motor 810, which is connected to a worm gear drive assembly 820. The worm gear drive assembly 820 is meshed with a slider 830. The slider 830 has teeth that are adapted to the worm gear drive assembly 820. The slider 830 is rotatably connected to a screw 840, which extends vertically. The slider 830 is also connected to a cup holder 300. The slider 830 moves along the axis of the screw 840, thereby driving the cup holder 300 to rise and fall, so that the cup holder 300 drives the cup body 400 to rise and fall, thus completing the grinding of ice.
