Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of beverage machine equipment, specifically to a detachable feeding bin for a beverage machine. Background Technology

[0002] A beverage maker, generally including a smoothie maker or ice cream maker, is a small appliance used to make desserts such as smoothies or ice cream. Its main structure includes the beverage machine body and the feed tank. The bottom of the feed tank is connected to a freezing cylinder. During the feeding process of the beverage machine, due to the influence of factors such as air pressure difference, viscosity, and temperature, it is relatively difficult for the beverage ingredients to be fed quickly and smoothly, which affects the production efficiency of the beverage. The quality or taste of the product may be affected if the ingredients stay at the feed inlet for too long.

[0003] In some existing technologies, to facilitate the smooth feeding of beverage ingredients, a ventilation component is added to the feed trough. Through the function of the ventilation component, effective air exchange between the freezing cylinder and the outside environment can be achieved as the beverage ingredients enter the freezing cylinder through the feed inlet. This reduces the feeding resistance caused by the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the freezing cylinder, allowing the beverage ingredients to flow into the freezing cylinder more quickly and smoothly, thus improving the efficiency of the entire feeding process. Although the above technical solution achieves smooth feeding of beverage ingredients to a certain extent, the overall structure is relatively complex, and the ventilation component hinders the convenient disassembly and cleaning of the feed trough. Therefore, its overall structure needs further optimization and improvement. Utility Model Content

[0012] Beneficial effects: It facilitates connection to the storage tank inside the beverage machine via a connecting pipe, and the arrangement of the hopper cover can achieve a dustproof effect.

[0013] Preferably, as an improvement, there is a first gap between the edge of the hopper cover and the hopper body, and a portion of the air passes sequentially through the outside of the beverage machine, the first gap, the inside of the hopper body, and the connecting pipe to form a second air intake channel.

[0014] Beneficial effects: The above technical solution allows for relatively smooth feeding of iced beverage ingredients, which helps the ingredients to fully contact with air and improves the expansion effect of iced beverages.

[0015] Preferably, as an improvement, there is a second gap between the bottom of the hopper and the mounting groove, through which a portion of the air passes sequentially via the outside of the beverage machine, the second gap, and the outer wall of the connecting pipe to form the path of the first air intake channel.

[0016] Beneficial effects: The above technical solution helps to further balance the pressure inside the storage tank of the beverage machine, thereby improving the quality or taste of the product. Attached Figure Description

Beverage machine; 201. Feed inlet; 210. Storage bin; 300. Feed hopper; 301. First air inlet channel; 302. Second air inlet channel; 310. Hopper cover; 311. Rotating part; 320. Hopper body; 321. Support part; 330. Connecting pipe; 340. Silicone part.

[0027] This embodiment is basically as shown in the appendix. Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 9 As shown: A detachable feeding compartment for a beverage machine includes a top shell 100, which is detachably connected to the beverage machine 200. In this embodiment, a storage tank 210 is adapted to be installed inside the beverage machine 200, and the storage tank 210 has a feeding port 201. Multiple locking claws 110 are provided on the bottom of the top shell 100. During assembly, the locking claws 110 are adapted to engage with the internal structure of the beverage machine 200, thereby adapting the top shell 100 to be installed at the top of the beverage machine 200 and ensuring the structural sealing of the beverage machine 200.

[0028] A feeding hopper 300 is detachably connected to the top shell 100. Beverage raw materials enter the beverage machine 200 through the feeding hopper 300. The feeding hopper 300 has a hopper cover 310. By detachably arranging the feeding hopper 300 on the top shell 100, it is easy to disassemble and clean the feeding hopper 300 according to the actual situation. Disassembly and cleaning are relatively convenient.

[0029] To facilitate the relatively smooth feeding of iced beverage ingredients and to ensure sufficient contact between the ingredients and air, thereby enhancing the expansion effect of the iced beverage, in this embodiment, a first air intake channel 301 is formed between the bottom of the feeding hopper 300 and the top shell 100, and a second air intake channel 302 is formed between the hopper cover 310 and the feeding hopper 300. Both the first air intake channel 301 and the second air intake channel 302 are connected to the storage tank 210 inside the beverage machine 200.

[0030] The top shell 100 has a recessed mounting groove 101. The shape of the mounting groove 101 corresponds to the shape of the feed hopper 300. The feed hopper 300 is adapted to be inserted into the mounting groove 101. The mounting groove 101 can be adapted to fix the feed hopper 300, so that the feed hopper 300 can be detachably connected to the top shell 100, and the feed hopper 300 can be easily disassembled for cleaning operations.

[0031] In the above technical solution, the side wall of the installation groove 101 is arranged inclined downwards, and the side wall of the feed hopper 300 is arranged inclined downwards. This not only facilitates the matching and installation of the feed hopper 300 and the installation groove 101, but also, based on the inclined side wall arrangement path, facilitates the relatively fast and smooth downward feeding of the iced beverage raw materials.

[0032] The feeding hopper 300 includes a hopper body 320 and a connecting pipe 330. The connecting pipe 330 is located at the bottom of the hopper body 320, and the hopper cover 310 covers and is hinged to the hopper body 320. Specifically, the connecting pipe 330 is adapted to and connected to the feeding port 201 on the storage tank 210, that is, beverage raw materials enter the storage tank 210 through the connecting pipe 330.

[0033] The bucket body 320 is provided with a support part 321, and the edge of the hopper cover 310 is provided with a rotating part 311. The support part 321 has a structural opening for the corresponding rotating part 311 to be inserted. Preferably, there are two support parts 321 and two rotating parts 311 to achieve a stable connection between the hopper cover 310 and the bucket body 320.

[0034] Silicone parts 340 are fitted at the connecting pipe 330 and the inlet 201 to improve the relative sealing of the structural connection.

[0035] Furthermore, there is a first gap between the edge of the hopper cover 310 and the hopper body 320, through which a portion of the air passes sequentially through the outside of the beverage machine 200, the first gap, the inside of the hopper body 320, and the connecting pipe 330 to form the path of the second air intake channel 302.

[0036] Furthermore, there is a second gap between the bottom of the bucket body 320 and the mounting groove 101, through which a portion of the air passes sequentially through the outside of the beverage machine 200, the second gap, and the outer wall of the connecting pipe 330 to form the path of the first air intake channel 301.

[0037] It should be noted that in the technical solution of this embodiment, the other internal structures of the beverage machine and their corresponding control structures are existing technologies, and their structures and principles will not be described in detail here.

[0038] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model. Commonly known technical solutions and / or characteristics are not described in detail here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the technical solution of this utility model. These modifications and improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model, and will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent.
