Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of snow melting machine products, specifically relating to a cylinder locking assembly for a snow melting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Snow melting machines are used to make slushies, smoothies, and other frozen drinks, and are widely used in beverage shops, milk tea shops, and other catering establishments. The material storage cylinder and main unit of a snow melting machine typically employ a detachable installation structure, facilitating production, assembly, and cleaning maintenance. However, the existing locking structure between the material cylinder and the main unit is overly complex, hindering the simplification and assembly of the snow melting machine's structure. For example, Chinese utility model patent number 202422225369.4 discloses a main body for a snow melting machine, which includes a main chassis, a detachable smoothie cylinder, and a rotary fastener assembly. The top of the main body of the machine has a drive seat corresponding to the slush cylinder. The drive seat and the slush cylinder are closed by a snap-fit ​​assembly to form a sealed space for slush making and storage. The snap-fit ​​assembly includes a snap-fit, a locking post on the slush cylinder, and a handle for driving the snap-fit ​​to rotate. The drive seat has a rotating shaft for installing the snap-fit. The snap-fit ​​has an arc-shaped locking groove, one end of which has an opening. The locking post enters the arc-shaped locking groove through the opening. As the locking post moves relatively along the arc-shaped locking groove, the distance between the locking post and the rotating shaft gradually decreases, pulling the drive seat and the slush cylinder together. The aforementioned snap-fit ​​assembly of the snow melting machine has a complex structure involving many parts, which is not conducive to the simplification of the snow melting machine and has certain limitations. Therefore, further improvement is needed. Utility Model Content
