Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of smoothie machines, specifically relating to the material cylinder installation structure of a smoothie machine. Background Technology
[0002] A slush machine is a type of cold beverage machinery, also known as a slush machine, slush maker, or slush blender. It uses a refrigeration and stirring system to turn liquid beverages into slush, smoothies, or ice cream (rather than crushing ice).
[0003] Existing smoothie machines have relatively mature refrigeration and mixing systems, but the operation and cleaning of parts such as the material cylinder and discharge handle are inconvenient. Specifically, in one existing smoothie machine, the material cylinder needs to be manually rotated and the locking handle tightened when disassembling and assembling. Furthermore, because the sealing ring needs to be compressed along the motor axis, the force required to tighten the handle is relatively large, and the handle also occupies a considerable amount of space. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention addresses the inconvenience of disassembling and assembling the material cylinder in existing smoothie machines by providing a material cylinder installation structure that simplifies the disassembly and assembly of the material cylinder.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a material cylinder mounting structure for a smoothie machine, the material cylinder mounting structure of the smoothie machine comprising:
[0006] The main body of the machine includes a housing, a motor exposed outside the housing, and a sealing ring fitted on the motor. The housing includes a vertical surface.
[0007] The material cylinder has a material holding section, which opens to the side facing the vertical surface;
[0008] The snap-fit assembly is located on the housing;
[0009] The sealing ring is radially compressed by the barrel;
[0010] The snap-fit assembly includes a movable snap-fit component and a reset component for resetting the movable snap-fit component, and the barrel forms a snap-fit portion that mates with the movable snap-fit component.
[0011] The material cylinder installation structure of this utility model for a smoothie machine has a material cylinder that is snapped into the machine housing. The snapping assembly includes a movable snap-fit part and a reset part that resets the movable snap-fit part. When installing the material cylinder, there is no need to operate the snap-fit assembly. When disassembling, the material cylinder can be removed simply by pressing the movable snap-fit part, making the installation and removal of the material cylinder more convenient. The sealing ring is compressed radially by the material cylinder (radial to the motor) to ensure a seal and also facilitates disassembly (it requires less effort compared to the sealing ring being compressed axially).
[0012] As an improvement, the movable locking member is located on the upper surface of the housing, and it moves up and down. Positioning the movable member on the upper surface of the housing facilitates operation, and since the lower half of the barrel is typically restricted by the housing, the upper surface of the housing provides better constraint on the barrel. The movable locking member is usually located at the center of the upper surface, resulting in a better force distribution on the barrel.
[0013] As an improvement, the movable latch has an L-shaped latch portion, which includes a horizontal section and a vertical section, with a guide slope formed on the side of the vertical section away from the vertical surface;
[0014] The snap-fit part forms a guide surface on the side near the vertical surface;
[0015] Upper and lower guide grooves are formed on the housing to guide the movable snap-fit parts.
[0016] As an improvement, the snap-fit assembly also includes a mounting base, which is detachably connected to the housing by screws. The reset element is a compression spring, with a spring post formed on the mounting base and a spring sleeve formed on the movable snap-fit element.
[0017] As an improvement, the sealing ring includes an annular rib on the radially outer side.
[0018] As an improvement, there are two annular ribs.
[0019] As an improvement, the motor housing is provided with a mounting ring, which is fixed to the housing, and a sealing ring is fitted on the mounting ring.
[0020] As an improvement, the sealing ring and the mounting ring snap together; the radially inner side of the sealing ring protrudes outward from the mounting ring and is compressed.
[0021] As an improvement, a guide structure is formed between the housing and the barrel. The guide structure includes a receiving groove formed on the housing that is adapted to the material holding part, and / or the guide structure includes a guide horizontal surface on the housing and a guide protrusion on the barrel, and / or the guide structure includes a horizontal guide groove on the housing and a horizontal guide part on the barrel.
[0022] As an improvement, a positioning structure is formed between the housing and the barrel. The positioning structure includes a raised positioning part that protrudes horizontally outward from the relative vertical surface on the housing and a positioning groove on the barrel that is adapted to the raised positioning part. Or, the positioning structure includes a positioning hole opened on the vertical surface and a positioning post on the barrel.
[0023] The beneficial effects of the material cylinder installation structure of the slush machine of this utility model are: the material cylinder is snapped into the machine casing, and the snapping component includes a movable snapping part and a reset part for resetting the movable snapping part. When installing the material cylinder, there is no need to operate the snapping component. When disassembling, the material cylinder can be removed simply by pressing the movable snapping part, making the disassembly and assembly of the material cylinder more convenient. The sealing ring is radially compressed by the material cylinder to ensure a seal, and at the same time, the compression force required is small, which is conducive to disassembly.

[0050] The material cylinder installation structure of this utility model for a smoothie machine has a material cylinder that is snapped into the machine housing. The snapping assembly includes a movable snap-fit part and a reset part that resets the movable snap-fit part. When installing the material cylinder, there is no need to operate the snap-fit assembly. When disassembling, the material cylinder can be removed simply by pressing the movable snap-fit part, making the installation and removal of the material cylinder more convenient. The sealing ring is compressed radially by the material cylinder (radial to the motor) to ensure a seal and also facilitates disassembly (it requires less effort compared to the sealing ring being compressed axially).
[0051] Example 1
[0052] See Figures 1 to 10 The slush machine's material cylinder 02 mounting structure according to this utility model embodiment includes:
[0053] The main body 01 includes a housing 1, a motor 2 exposed outside the housing 1, and a sealing ring 4 fitted on the motor 2. The housing 1 includes a vertical surface 11.
[0054] The material cylinder 02 has a material holding part 51, which has an opening facing the vertical surface 11.
[0055] The snap-fit component 03 is located on the housing 1;
[0056] Among them, the sealing ring 4 is radially compressed by the barrel 02;
[0057] The snap-fit assembly 03 includes a movable snap-fit member 7 and a reset member 8 for resetting the movable snap-fit member 7, and the barrel 02 forms a snap-fit portion 52 that cooperates with the movable snap-fit member 7.
[0058] In this embodiment, the movable latching member 7 is located on the upper surface of the housing 1, and the movable latching member 7 can move up and down. Positioning the movable member on the upper surface of the housing 1 facilitates operation, and since the lower half of the material cylinder 02 is typically restricted by the housing 1, the movable member's location on the upper surface of the housing 1 provides good constraint on the material cylinder 02. The movable latching member 7 is typically located at the center of the upper surface, ensuring a good force-bearing position for the material cylinder 02.
[0059] In this embodiment, the movable latching member 7 has an L-shaped latching hook portion 71, which includes a horizontal section and a vertical section. The vertical section forms a guide slope on the side away from the vertical surface 11.
[0060] The snap-fit part 52 forms a guide surface on the side near the vertical surface 11;
[0061] Upper and lower guide grooves 12 are formed on the housing 1 to guide the movable snap-fit component 7.
[0062] In this embodiment, the snap-fit assembly 03 also includes a mounting base 9, which is detachably connected to the housing 1 by screws. The reset member 8 is a compression spring, a spring post is formed on the mounting base 9, and a spring sleeve is formed on the movable snap-fit member 7.
[0063] In this embodiment, the sealing ring 4 includes an annular rib 41 on the radially outer side.
[0064] In this embodiment, there are two annular ribs 41.
[0065] In this embodiment, the motor 2 has a mounting ring 3 on its outer casing, which is fixedly connected to the housing 1. A sealing ring 4 is fitted onto the mounting ring 3. The mounting ring 3 has multiple circumferential mounting posts, and multiple circumferential mounting holes 18 are formed on the vertical surface 11 of the housing 1, with the mounting posts positioned in the mounting holes 18. The mounting ring 3 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 by screws in the mounting holes 18.
[0066] In this embodiment, the sealing ring 4 and the mounting ring 3 are snapped together.
[0067] In this embodiment, the radial inner side of the sealing ring 4 protrudes outward from the mounting ring 3 and is compressed, thereby ensuring the seal between the housing of the motor 2 and the barrel 02.
[0068] In this embodiment, a sealing ring 57 is formed at the opening of the barrel 02, and the sealing ring 57 radially compresses the annular rib 41 of the sealing ring 4. The sealing ring 57 is also used to form a positioning groove 55.
[0069] In this embodiment, a guide structure is formed between the housing 1 and the barrel 02. The guide structure includes a receiving groove 13 formed on the housing 1 that is adapted to the material holding part 51. The guide structure includes a guide horizontal surface 14 on the housing 1 and a guide protrusion 53 on the barrel 02. The guide structure includes a horizontal guide groove 15 on the housing 1 and a horizontal guide part 54 on the barrel 02.
[0070] In this embodiment, a positioning structure is formed between the housing 1 and the barrel 02. The positioning structure includes a protruding positioning part 16 on the housing 1 that protrudes horizontally outward relative to the vertical surface 11 and a positioning groove 55 on the barrel 02 that is adapted to the protruding positioning part 16. The positioning structure includes a positioning hole 17 opened on the vertical surface 11 and a positioning post 56 on the barrel 02, which are used for positioning in the direction of disassembly and assembly to prevent the barrel 02 from moving up and down or left and right.
[0071] In this embodiment, the material cylinder 02 includes a cylinder body 5 and a cylinder cover 6. The cylinder cover 6 is snapped onto the cylinder body 5, and the cylinder body 5 is opened and closed by the cylinder cover 6 rotating horizontally and lifting vertically.
[0072] In this embodiment, when installing the barrel 02, the mounting ring 3 and sealing ring 4 are first fixed to the housing 1. Then, the two guide protrusions 53 of the barrel 02 are positioned approximately on the two guide horizontal surfaces 14 of the housing 1. The barrel 02 is pushed until the two horizontal guide parts 54 of the barrel 02 are inserted into the two horizontal guide grooves 15 of the housing 1. When it is almost pushed into place, the locking part 52 of the barrel 02 contacts the guide slope of the hook part 71 of the movable locking part 7 of the locking assembly 03. The barrel 02 overcomes the elasticity of the reset part 8, causing the movable locking part 7 to descend. When pushed into place, the locking part of the barrel 02 engages with the hook part 71 of the movable locking part 7. At this time, the positioning pin 56 of the barrel 02 is inserted into the positioning hole 17 of the housing 1, and the positioning groove of the barrel 02 is fitted onto the protruding positioning part 16 of the housing 1. The entire process of installing the barrel 02 only requires pushing the barrel 02.
[0073] In this embodiment, when disassembling the material cylinder 02, pressing the movable latching member 7 overcomes the elastic force of the reset member 8, causing the movable latching member 7 to descend and release the latching member 7 from the material cylinder 02. At this time, the material cylinder 02 can be pushed and pulled, and after the material cylinder 02 moves a sufficient distance, it separates from the housing 1.
[0074] The beneficial effects of the material cylinder 02 installation structure of the slush machine in Embodiment 1 of this utility model are as follows: the material cylinder 02 is snapped into the machine housing 1, and the snapping component 03 includes a movable snapping part 7 and a reset part 8 for resetting the movable snapping part 7. When installing the material cylinder 02, it is not necessary to operate the snapping component 03. When disassembling, the material cylinder 02 can be removed simply by pressing the movable snapping part 7. The disassembly and assembly of the material cylinder 02 are relatively convenient. The sealing ring 4 is radially compressed by the material cylinder 02 to ensure a seal. At the same time, the compression force required is small, which is more labor-saving and conducive to disassembly. The snapping component 03 occupies little space. An installation ring 3 fixed to the machine housing 1 is provided for installing the sealing ring 4. The radial inner side of the sealing ring 4 protrudes outward from the installation ring 3 and seals the space between the housing of the motor 2 and the material cylinder 02. A guide structure and a positioning structure are provided.
