Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage manufacturing, and in particular to a sealing structure and a beverage manufacturing machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the existing technology, the sealing structure of beverage making machines lacks deformation space, which means that the sealing structure cannot compensate for the assembly errors of each component or the gaps caused by long-term use through deformation. When the stirrer vibrates or the material bucket is slightly displaced, gaps are easy to appear on the sealing surface, causing beverage raw materials and condensate to leak. This not only wastes raw materials, but also corrodes the core components inside the shell assembly, causing component corrosion, short circuits and other failures, thus shortening the service life of the equipment. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a sealing structure and a beverage making machine to address the problem of insufficient deformation space in the sealing structure of beverage making machines.
[0004] A sealing structure includes: a housing assembly; a first sealing assembly disposed on the housing assembly; a material tank assembly disposed on the first sealing assembly, the first sealing assembly being sandwiched between the material tank assembly and the housing assembly; a stirring assembly disposed on the housing assembly; and a second sealing member sandwiched between the stirring assembly and the housing assembly, the second sealing member having a first deformation space and a second deformation space, the first sealing assembly abutting against the second sealing member and capable of deforming the first deformation space and the second deformation space.
[0005] The above discloses a sealing structure for a beverage manufacturing machine. The housing assembly, as a basic support component, provides a stable installation reference for the first sealing assembly, the material tank assembly, and the stirring assembly, ensuring the assembly accuracy of each component and preventing seal failure due to structural misalignment. The stirring chamber of the material tank assembly provides an independent space for stirring beverage raw materials. The first sealing assembly, sandwiched between the material tank assembly and the housing assembly and corresponding to the stirring chamber, can initially block the penetration of beverage and water vapor from the stirring chamber into the circuit components located in the housing assembly, providing basic protection for the core components of the equipment. The stirring assembly is precisely positioned in the stirring chamber to ensure smooth beverage production. The second sealing element, sandwiched between the stirring assembly and the housing assembly and corresponding to the stirring chamber, forms a critical sealing defense line. The design of the first and second deformation spaces not only improves adaptability and durability but also enhances sealing performance from multiple dimensions, constructing a double sealing guarantee. When the first sealing assembly and the second sealing element abut against each other, the two deformation spaces can adaptively adjust their shape according to the assembly pressure, ensuring good sealing performance. Moreover, it can actively compensate for the assembly gaps caused by processing errors or long-term use of various components, preventing beverage raw materials, condensate, or cleaning water from leaking through the gaps, preventing raw material waste and corrosion of internal equipment components, and ensuring the hygiene and safety of beverages. On the other hand, the deformation space can buffer the impact force generated when the stirring components are running, reduce the rigid friction between the seals and adjacent components, reduce the wear rate of the seals, extend their replacement cycle, reduce equipment downtime for maintenance, and improve production efficiency.
[0006] In one embodiment, the second seal includes a second inner seal and a second outer seal. The second inner seal is sandwiched between the stirring assembly and the housing assembly. The second outer seal is disposed on the second inner seal and abuts against the housing assembly. The first sealing assembly abuts against the second outer seal. The second outer seal has a first deformation space and a second deformation space. By directly sandwiching the second inner seal between the stirring assembly and the housing assembly, it can tightly fit the contact surfaces of the two, forming a first core sealing barrier, effectively preventing beverage raw materials and water vapor in the stirring chamber from directly contacting the internal components of the housing, reducing component corrosion and wear. The second outer seal, disposed on the second inner seal and abutting against the housing assembly, not only fixes and supports the second inner seal, preventing it from shifting during the operation of the stirring assembly, but also abuts against the first sealing assembly to form a secondary sealing protection. Crucially, the first and second deformation spaces on the second outer seal can flexibly deform when they abut against the first sealing assembly. On one hand, this compensates for assembly errors between the second inner seal, the second outer seal, and the housing assembly, filling tiny gaps and preventing beverage residue or cleaning fluid leakage. On the other hand, it buffers vibrations generated by the stirring assembly, reducing rigid friction between the second inner and outer seals and adjacent components, extending the overall seal's service life, and ensuring no gaps remain on the sealing surface during equipment cleaning, meeting hygiene standards for beverage manufacturing and guaranteeing production safety and efficiency. The second inner and second outer seals are integrally molded, eliminating the assembly interface between them and avoiding sealing gaps caused by installation deviations in a split design. This effectively prevents beverage raw materials, cleaning fluid, or condensate from leaking from the component joints, further enhancing sealing reliability.
[0007] In one embodiment, the second inner seal includes an inner sealing body and first protrusions. The inner sealing body is sandwiched between the stirring assembly and the housing assembly. Multiple first protrusions are spaced apart on the inner sealing body and abut against the stirring assembly. The second outer seal is disposed on the inner sealing body. By using the inner sealing body as a base carrier sandwiched between the stirring assembly and the housing assembly, it can fit a large area of the contact surfaces of both, constructing a first broad-spectrum sealing barrier. This effectively prevents beverage ingredients and moisture from penetrating into the housing from the stirring chamber, reducing the risk of corrosion of core components. Simultaneously, it provides a stable mounting base for the second outer seal, ensuring precise positioning of the outer sealing structure and avoiding seal failure due to installation misalignment. Multiple spaced-apart first protrusions abut against the stirring assembly, forming a multi-point elastic support. On one hand, the first protrusions can fill the microscopic gaps between the inner sealing body and the stirring assembly through their own slight deformation, forming a composite protective structure of main seal and multi-point auxiliary seal, significantly reducing the probability of beverage residue or cleaning liquid leakage. On the other hand, the spaced-apart first protrusions can disperse the pressure and vibration generated during the operation of the stirring assembly, preventing excessive local stress on the inner sealing body and wear, extending its service life, while ensuring the operational stability of the stirring assembly and reducing the impact of component shaking on the overall sealing system. The multiple first protrusions and the inner sealing body adopt an integral molding design, avoiding the problems of protrusion detachment or displacement caused by poor adhesion or assembly deviation in the separate design, ensuring that the multiple first protrusions can be stably distributed on the inner sealing body for a long time. At the same time, it can also avoid the seal failure caused by insufficient local sealing pressure, and always maintain a stable sealing state.
[0008] In one embodiment, the second outer sealing element includes an outer sealing body, a first abutment, and a second abutment. The outer sealing body is disposed on the second inner sealing element. The first abutment is disposed on the outer sealing body and cooperates with the outer sealing body to form the first deformation space. The second abutment is disposed on the first abutment and abuts against the housing assembly. The second abutment has the second deformation space. The first sealing assembly abuts against the first abutment and the second abutment. The outer sealing body is securely disposed on the second inner sealing element, providing reliable support for the first and second abutments and forming a connection with the inner sealing structure, preventing sealing gaps. The first deformation space formed by the outer sealing body and the first abutment can flexibly extend when abutting against the first sealing assembly, filling the radial gap between the outer sealing body and the first sealing assembly and preventing the penetration of beverage ingredients and moisture. The second abutment is disposed on the first abutment and has its own second deformation space. When abutting against the first sealing assembly, it can be laterally compressed, tightly fitting the sealing surface to form a second sealing barrier, ensuring complete sealing. Meanwhile, the combination of the double abutment parts and the double deformation space can adapt to the assembly errors of the first sealing component and equipment vibration. The outer sealing body, the first abutment part, and the second abutment part adopt an integrated molding design, which completely eliminates the assembly interface between the three, avoids the structural loosening problems caused by component splicing gaps and installation misalignment in the split design, and also avoids sealing leaks caused by asynchronous deformation of the split structure, thus greatly improving the sealing accuracy.
[0009] In one embodiment, the first abutment includes a first abutment body and a second protrusion. The first abutment body is disposed on the outer sealing body and cooperates with the outer sealing body to form the first deformation space. There are multiple second protrusions, spaced apart along the length of the first abutment body. The first sealing assembly abuts against the multiple second protrusions and causes deformation of the first deformation space. The first sealing assembly also abuts against the second abutments and causes deformation of the second deformation space. By securely mounting the first abutment body on the outer sealing body and cooperating with it to form the first deformation space, a reliable installation foundation is provided for the second protrusions and the second abutment. Furthermore, the elastic adjustment of the deformation space provides buffer support for subsequent sealing. When the first sealing component abuts against multiple second protrusions spaced along the length of the first abutment body, the abutting force is precisely transmitted to the first deformation space, causing it to undergo directional elastic deformation. On one hand, the deformed first deformation space provides elastic support for the second protrusions, allowing each protrusion to fit tightly against the contact surface of the first sealing component. Even if there are microscopic unevenness or assembly errors on the contact surface, the protrusions can adaptively adjust with the assistance of the deformation space, filling tiny gaps and preventing beverage ingredients or moisture from seeping through. On the other hand, the deformation of the first deformation space disperses the abutting force applied by the first sealing component, making the multiple second protrusions evenly stressed, forming a composite protective structure of multi-point uniform sealing and deformation compensation. This significantly improves the sealing tightness of the two components and eliminates leakage problems caused by insufficient local sealing pressure. When the second abutment on the first abutment body abuts against the first sealing component, the second deformation space can laterally compress and seal the axial gap, forming a dual protection system with the first deformation space.
[0010] In one embodiment, the second abutment is an arc-shaped surface with its opening facing the housing assembly. By utilizing the second abutment with its arc-shaped design and opening facing the housing assembly, when the first sealing assembly abuts against the second abutment, the abutting force can be evenly transmitted along the arc to the second deformation space, causing the deformation space to compress more smoothly laterally, allowing the second abutment to fit more tightly against the housing assembly, effectively preventing the penetration of beverage ingredients and moisture.
[0011] In one embodiment, the second seal further includes multiple sealing fittings, which are disposed on the second outer seal and pass through the housing assembly. These multiple sealing fittings are used to fix the second inner seal and the second outer seal. By disposing of multiple sealing fittings on the second outer seal and passing through the housing assembly, the second inner and outer seals are tightly locked in their preset assembly positions. This prevents displacement or loosening of the seals due to vibration of the stirring assembly or pressure fluctuations in the stirring chamber during equipment operation. It ensures that the first protrusion of the second inner seal always abuts tightly against the stirring assembly, and that the first and second abutments of the second outer seal continuously adhere to the first sealing assembly, ensuring that each sealing structure always functions effectively. Simultaneously, the evenly distributed multiple sealing fittings disperse and transmit the fixing force, preventing excessive localized stress and deformation of the seals, avoiding sealing gaps due to uneven fixing, and effectively preventing the penetration of beverage ingredients and moisture.
[0012] In one embodiment, the second inner seal and the second outer seal cooperate to form a sealed space, and a portion of the housing assembly is located in the sealed space. By providing the sealed space, it can form a synergistic protection with the first protrusion of the second inner seal and the deformation space of the second outer seal. When a small amount of liquid breaks through the outer seal, the sealed space can intercept and contain it, preventing the liquid from further penetrating into the housing, thus forming a dual protection system of outer layer interception and inner layer bottom protection.
[0013] In one embodiment, the first sealing assembly includes a first sealing body, a first inner seal, and a first outer seal. The first sealing body is disposed on the housing assembly. The first inner seal is disposed on the first sealing body and located on the inner sidewall of the first sealing body. The first outer seal is disposed on the first sealing body and located on the outer sidewall of the first sealing body. The material tank assembly is disposed on the first sealing body and the first outer seal. The first inner seal and / or the first outer seal abuts against the second seal and allows deformation of the first deformation space and the second deformation space. By using the first sealing body as a core carrier on the housing assembly, a stable installation reference is provided for the first inner seal and the first outer seal. Furthermore, through its cooperation with the material tank assembly, it initially blocks the penetration of beverage raw materials and moisture from the stirring chamber towards the housing, establishing a basic sealing defense. The first outer seal is located on the outer sidewall of the first sealing body and fits tightly with the material tank assembly, forming an outer sealing barrier to prevent the infiltration of residual liquid from the outside. It also helps to fix the position of the material tank assembly, enhancing the overall structural stability. The first inner seal and / or the first outer seal enable the first deformation space and the second deformation space of the second seal to undergo adaptive deformation, which can seal the mating gap from multiple angles and completely eliminate liquid leakage channels.
[0014] In one embodiment, the housing assembly includes a rear housing body and a mating component. The mating component is disposed on the rear housing body. A second sealing component has a sealing space, and the mating component is located within the sealing space. A first sealing component is disposed on the rear housing body, and a stirring component is disposed on the rear housing body. A portion of the second sealing component is sandwiched between the mating component and the stirring component, and abuts against the rear housing body. The rear housing body serves as a core support, providing a stable installation reference for the first sealing component and the stirring component, ensuring precise positioning and preventing misalignment due to installation deviation. Simultaneously, its abutment against the second sealing component helps fix its position, enhancing the overall stability of the sealing structure. The mating component, disposed on the rear housing body and located within the sealing space of the second sealing component, isolates the beverage ingredients and moisture within the stirring chamber, preventing corrosion and extending its service life. Furthermore, the mating component provides internal support to the sealing space, preventing excessive deformation of the second sealing component from causing sealing failure. In addition, the second sealing element is sandwiched between the mating part and the stirring assembly, which can enhance the fit between the sealing element and the contact surface by means of the clamping force of the two, thus ensuring the sealing performance.
[0015] In one embodiment, the stirring assembly includes a stirring tank, a stirring body, and an evaporator. The stirring tank is mounted on the housing assembly, the stirring body is mounted on the stirring tank, and the evaporator is mounted on the stirring tank and located on its inner sidewall. A portion of the second sealing member is sandwiched between the stirring tank and the housing assembly. By using the stirring tank as a base carrier on the housing assembly, a stable installation space is provided for the stirring body and the evaporator. Simultaneously, the second sealing member sandwiched between the stirring tank and the housing assembly precisely fills the assembly gap, forming a tight seal and preventing beverage ingredients and condensate from seeping into the housing, thus ensuring the safety of the core components of the equipment. The stirring body, mounted on the stirring tank, can efficiently stir the ingredients, ensuring a uniform beverage texture. Furthermore, the vibrations generated during its operation are buffered by the deformation space of the second sealing member, reducing impact on the sealing structure and extending the service life of the sealing member. The evaporator is located on the inner wall of the mixing tank, which can precisely control the temperature inside the tank to meet the needs of refrigerated beverage manufacturing. At the same time, its close fit with the mixing tank can prevent temperature fluctuations from causing component deformation that affects the seal. Combined with the protection of the second seal, it ensures stable temperature control and eliminates the possibility of sealing gaps caused by temperature changes.
[0016] The second aspect of this application discloses a beverage making machine, which includes: the sealing structure described above; and a beverage making machine body, wherein the sealing structure is disposed on the beverage making machine body.
[0017] The second aspect disclosed above discloses a beverage manufacturing machine in which a sealing structure is set on the body of the beverage manufacturing machine. On the one hand, the deformation space of the second sealing component can buffer the vibration of the stirring component during operation. The double barrier of the first sealing component and the second sealing component can effectively prevent the leakage of beverage raw materials and condensate, avoid corrosion of the core components inside the machine, extend the service life of the equipment, reduce the frequency of downtime maintenance, and ensure continuous production efficiency. On the other hand, the design of the sealing space and the arc-shaped contact component can further eliminate sealing gaps. Combined with the temperature control function of the evaporator, it can not only prevent sealing failure caused by temperature fluctuations, but also prevent the growth of bacteria from residual cleaning liquid, meet the stringent hygiene standards of beverage production, and ensure the safety of beverages.

Detailed Implementation
[0036] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0037] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0038] The sealing structure and beverage manufacturing machine of some embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0039] Example 1
[0040] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this embodiment discloses a sealing structure, including: a shell assembly 1; a first sealing assembly 2 disposed on the shell assembly 1; a material tank assembly 3 disposed on the first sealing assembly 2, the first sealing assembly 2 being sandwiched between the material tank assembly 3 and the shell assembly 1; a stirring assembly 4 disposed on the shell assembly 1; and a second sealing member 5 sandwiched between the stirring assembly 4 and the shell assembly 1, the second sealing member 5 having a first deformation space 501 and a second deformation space 502, the first sealing assembly 2 abutting against the second sealing member 5 and capable of deforming the first deformation space 501 and the second deformation space 502.
[0041] This application discloses a sealing structure for a beverage manufacturing machine. The housing assembly 1 serves as a basic support component, providing a stable installation reference for the first sealing assembly 2, the material tank assembly 3, and the stirring assembly 4, ensuring the assembly accuracy of each component and preventing seal failure due to structural misalignment. The stirring chamber of the material tank assembly 3 provides an independent space for stirring beverage raw materials. The first sealing assembly 2, sandwiched between the material tank assembly 3 and the housing assembly 1 and corresponding to the stirring chamber, can initially block the penetration of beverage and water vapor from the stirring chamber into the circuit components located in the housing assembly 1, providing basic protection for the core components of the equipment. The stirring assembly 4 is precisely positioned in the stirring chamber, ensuring smooth beverage production. The second sealing element 5, sandwiched between the stirring assembly 4 and the housing assembly 1 and corresponding to the stirring chamber, forms a critical sealing defense line. The arrangement of the first deformation space 501 and the second deformation space 502 not only improves adaptability and durability but also enhances sealing performance from multiple dimensions, constructing a double sealing guarantee. When the first sealing assembly 2 and the second sealing element 5 abut against each other, the two deformation spaces can adaptively adjust their shape according to the assembly pressure, ensuring good sealing performance. Moreover, it can actively compensate for the assembly gaps caused by processing errors or long-term use of each component, preventing beverage raw materials, condensate, or cleaning water from leaking through the gaps, preventing waste of raw materials and corrosion of internal components, and ensuring the hygiene and safety of beverages. On the other hand, the deformation space can buffer the impact force generated when the stirring component 4 is running, reduce the rigid friction between the seal and adjacent components, reduce the wear rate of the seal, extend its replacement cycle, reduce equipment downtime for maintenance, and improve production efficiency.
[0042] like Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 11 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the second sealing member 5 includes a second inner sealing member 51 and a second outer sealing member 52. The second inner sealing member 51 is sandwiched between the stirring assembly 4 and the housing assembly 1. The second outer sealing member 52 is disposed on the second inner sealing member 51 and abuts against the housing assembly 1. The first sealing assembly 2 abuts against the second outer sealing member 52. The second outer sealing member 52 is provided with a first deformation space 501 and a second deformation space 502. By directly sandwiching the second inner sealing member 51 between the stirring assembly 4 and the housing assembly 1, it can closely fit the contact surfaces of the two, forming a first core sealing barrier, effectively preventing beverage raw materials and water vapor in the stirring chamber from directly contacting the internal components of the housing, reducing component corrosion and wear. The second outer sealing member 52 is disposed on the second inner sealing member 51 and abuts against the housing assembly 1, which not only fixes and supports the second inner sealing member 51 to prevent it from shifting when the stirring assembly 4 is running, but also abuts against the first sealing assembly 2 to form a secondary sealing protection. Crucially, the first deformation space 501 and the second deformation space 502 on the second outer seal 52 can flexibly deform when they abut against the first sealing assembly 2. On the one hand, this compensates for assembly errors between the second inner seal 51, the second outer seal 52, and the housing assembly 1, filling tiny gaps and preventing beverage residue or cleaning fluid leakage. On the other hand, it buffers the vibration generated by the operation of the stirring assembly 4, reduces rigid friction between the second inner and outer seals and adjacent components, extends the service life of the overall seal, and ensures that there are no gaps left on the sealing surface during equipment cleaning, meeting the hygiene standards for beverage manufacturing and ensuring production safety and efficiency. The second inner seal 51 and the second outer seal 52 are integrally formed, eliminating the assembly interface between them and avoiding sealing gaps caused by installation deviations in a split design. This effectively prevents beverage raw materials, cleaning fluid, or condensate from leaking from the component joints, further enhancing sealing reliability.
[0043] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 11As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the second inner sealing element 51 includes an inner sealing body 511 and a first protrusion 512. The inner sealing body 511 is sandwiched between the stirring assembly 4 and the shell assembly 1. There are multiple first protrusions 512, which are spaced apart on the inner sealing body 511 and abut against the stirring assembly 4. The second outer sealing element 52 is disposed on the inner sealing body 511. By using the inner sealing body 511 as a basic carrier sandwiched between the stirring assembly 4 and the shell assembly 1, it can fit the contact surfaces of the two over a large area, constructing a first broad-spectrum sealing barrier, effectively preventing beverage raw materials and water vapor in the stirring chamber from penetrating into the shell, reducing the risk of corrosion of core components; at the same time, it provides a stable mounting base for the second outer sealing element 52, ensuring accurate positioning of the outer sealing structure and avoiding sealing failure due to installation misalignment. Multiple spaced-apart first protrusions 512 abut against the stirring assembly 4, forming a multi-point elastic support. On one hand, the first protrusions 512 can fill the microscopic gaps between the inner sealing body 511 and the stirring assembly 4 through their own slight deformation, forming a composite protective structure of main seal and multi-point auxiliary seal, significantly reducing the probability of beverage residue or cleaning liquid leakage. On the other hand, the spaced-apart first protrusions 512 can disperse the pressure and vibration generated during the operation of the stirring assembly 4, preventing excessive local stress on the inner sealing body 511 and wear, extending its service life, while ensuring the operational stability of the stirring assembly and reducing the impact of component shaking on the overall sealing system. The multiple first protrusions 512 and the inner sealing body 511 adopt an integral molding design, avoiding the problems of protrusion detachment or displacement caused by poor adhesion or assembly deviation in the separate design, ensuring that the multiple first protrusions 512 can be stably distributed on the inner sealing body 511 for a long time. At the same time, it can also avoid the seal failure caused by insufficient local sealing pressure, and always maintain a stable sealing state.
[0044] like Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 11As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines that: the second outer sealing member 52 includes an outer sealing body 521, a first abutting member 522 and a second abutting member 523. The outer sealing body 521 is disposed on the second inner sealing member 51. The first abutting member 522 is disposed on the outer sealing body 521 and cooperates with the outer sealing body 521 to form a first deformation space 501. The second abutting member 523 is disposed on the first abutting member 522 and abuts against the housing assembly 1. The second abutting member 523 is provided with a second deformation space 502. The first sealing assembly 2 abuts against the first abutting member 522 and the second abutting member 523. The outer sealing body 521 is securely mounted on the second inner sealing member 51, providing reliable support for the first and second abutting members and connecting with the inner sealing structure to prevent sealing gaps. The first deformation space 501 formed by the outer sealing body 521 and the first abutting member 522 can flexibly extend when abutting against the first sealing assembly 2, filling the radial gap between the outer sealing body and the first sealing assembly and preventing the penetration of beverage ingredients and moisture. The second abutting member 523 is mounted on the first abutting member 522 and has its own second deformation space 502. When abutting against the first sealing assembly 2, it can be laterally compressed, tightly fitting the sealing surface to form a second sealing barrier, ensuring complete sealing. Simultaneously, the cooperation of the two abutting members and the two deformation spaces can adapt to assembly errors of the first sealing assembly 2 and equipment vibration. The outer sealing body 521, the first abutting part 522 and the second abutting part 523 adopt an integral molding design, which completely eliminates the assembly interface between the three, avoids the structural loosening problem caused by the splicing gap and installation misalignment of the parts in the split design, and also avoids the sealing leakage caused by the asynchronous deformation of the split structure, thus greatly improving the sealing accuracy.
[0045] like Figure 9 and Figure 11As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the first abutting member 522 includes a first abutting member body 5221 and a second protrusion 5222. The first abutting member body 5221 is disposed on the outer sealing body 521 and cooperates with the outer sealing body 521 to form a first deformation space 501. The number of second protrusions 5222 is multiple. The multiple second protrusions 5222 are spaced apart on the first abutting member body 5221 along the length direction of the first abutting member body 5221. The second abutting member 523 is disposed on the first abutting member body 5221. The first sealing component 2 abuts against the multiple second protrusions 5222 and can deform the first deformation space 501. The first sealing component 2 abuts against the second abutting member 523 and can deform the second deformation space 502. By securely mounting the first abutting member body 5221 on the outer sealing body 521, and forming a first deformation space 501 with the outer sealing body, a reliable installation base is provided for the second protrusion and the second abutting member 523, and the elastic adjustment of the deformation space provides buffer support for subsequent sealing. When the first sealing component 2 abuts against the multiple second protrusions 5222, the abutting force is precisely transmitted to the first deformation space 501, causing it to undergo directional elastic deformation. On the one hand, the deformed first deformation space provides elastic support for the second protrusions, allowing each protrusion to fit tightly against the contact surface of the first sealing component 2. Even if there are micro-unevennesses or assembly errors on the contact surface, the protrusions can adaptively adjust with the assistance of the deformation space to fill tiny gaps and prevent beverage ingredients or moisture from seeping through the gaps. On the other hand, the deformation of the first deformation space can disperse the abutting force applied by the first sealing component, making the multiple second protrusions uniformly stressed, forming a composite protective structure with multi-point uniform sealing and deformation compensation, which greatly improves the sealing tightness of the two components and eliminates leakage problems caused by insufficient local sealing pressure. When the second abutting member 523 on the first abutting member body 5221 abuts against the first sealing component 2, the second deformation space 502 can be laterally compressed to block the axial gap, forming a dual protection system with the first deformation space 501.
[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the second abutment 523 is further characterized by an arc surface with its opening facing the housing assembly 1. By utilizing the second abutment 523 with its arc surface design and opening facing the housing assembly 1, when the first sealing assembly 2 abuts against the second abutment 523, the abutting force can be evenly transmitted along the arc surface to the second deformation space 502, causing the deformation space to compress more smoothly laterally, allowing the second abutment 523 to fit more tightly against the housing assembly 1, effectively preventing the penetration of beverage ingredients and moisture.
[0047] like Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 11As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the second sealing member 5 also includes a sealing fitting 53, and the number of sealing fittings 53 is multiple. Multiple sealing fittings 53 are disposed on the second outer sealing member 52 and pass through the housing assembly 1. Multiple sealing fittings 53 are used to fix the second inner sealing member 51 and the second outer sealing member 52. By disposing of multiple sealing fittings 53 on the second outer sealing member 52 and passing through the housing assembly 1, the second inner sealing member 51 and the second outer sealing member 52 can be tightly locked in a preset assembly position, preventing displacement or loosening of the sealing members due to vibration of the stirring assembly 4 and pressure fluctuations in the stirring chamber during equipment operation. This ensures that the first protrusion 512 of the second inner sealing member 51 always abuts tightly against the stirring assembly 4, and that the first abutting member 522 and the second abutting member 523 of the second outer sealing member continuously adhere to the first sealing assembly 2, ensuring that each sealing structure always functions. At the same time, the evenly distributed multiple sealing components can disperse and transmit the fixing force, prevent the sealing components from being deformed due to excessive local stress, avoid sealing gaps due to uneven fixing, and effectively block the penetration of beverage raw materials and water vapor.
[0048] like Figure 7 and Figure 11 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the second inner seal 51 and the second outer seal 52 cooperate to form a sealing space 503, and a portion of the housing assembly 1 is located at the sealing space 503. By providing the sealing space 503, the sealing space can form a synergistic protection with the first protrusion 512 of the second inner seal 51 and the deformation space of the second outer seal 52. When a small amount of liquid breaks through the outer seal, the sealing space 503 can intercept and contain it, preventing the liquid from further penetrating into the housing, forming a dual protection system of outer layer interception and inner layer bottom protection.
[0049] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 11As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the first sealing assembly 2 includes a first sealing body 21, a first inner sealing element 22, and a first outer sealing element 23. The first sealing body 21 is disposed on the shell assembly 1. The first inner sealing element 22 is disposed on the first sealing body 21 and located on the inner sidewall of the first sealing body 21. The first outer sealing element 23 is disposed on the first sealing body 21 and located on the outer sidewall of the first sealing body 21. The material tank assembly 3 is disposed on the first sealing body 21 and the first outer sealing element 23. The first inner sealing element 22 and / or the first outer sealing element 23 abut against the second sealing element 5 and can cause deformation of the first deformation space 501 and the second deformation space 502. By setting the first sealing body 21 as the core carrier on the shell assembly 1, a stable installation reference is provided for the first inner sealing element 22 and the first outer sealing element 23. Furthermore, through cooperation with the material tank assembly 3, the penetration of beverage raw materials and water vapor in the stirring chamber towards the shell is initially blocked, laying the foundation for a basic sealing defense. The first outer seal 23 is located on the outer wall of the first sealing body 21 and fits tightly with the material tank assembly 3 to form an outer sealing barrier, preventing external liquid residue from seeping in. It also helps to fix the position of the material tank assembly 3 and enhances the overall structural stability. The first inner seal 22 and / or the first outer seal 23 enable the first deformation space 501 and the second deformation space 502 of the second seal to undergo adaptive deformation, which can seal the mating gap from multiple angles and completely eliminate liquid leakage channels.
[0050] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the housing assembly 1 includes a rear housing body 11 and a mating member 12. The mating member 12 is disposed on the rear housing body 11. The second sealing member 5 has a sealing space 503, and the mating member 12 is located in the sealing space 503. The first sealing assembly 2 is disposed on the rear housing body 11, and the stirring assembly 4 is disposed on the rear housing body 11. A portion of the second sealing member 5 is sandwiched between the mating member 12 and the stirring assembly 4, and a portion of the second sealing member 5 abuts against the rear housing body 11. The rear housing body 11 serves as a core support, providing a stable installation reference for the first sealing assembly 2 and the stirring assembly 4, ensuring accurate positioning of both and avoiding misalignment of the seal due to installation offset. Simultaneously, its abutment against the portion of the second sealing member 5 helps to fix the position of the second sealing member, enhancing the overall stability of the sealing structure. The mating component 12 is disposed on the rear shell body 11 and located within the sealing space 503 of the second seal. It can isolate the beverage ingredients and moisture in the stirring chamber, prevent the mating component 12 from being corroded, and extend its service life. On the other hand, the mating component 12 can form an internal support for the sealing space 503, preventing the second seal from failing due to excessive deformation. In addition, the second seal 5 is partially sandwiched between the mating component 12 and the stirring assembly 4, which can enhance the fit between the seal and the contact surface by means of the clamping force of the two, ensuring the sealing performance.
[0051] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 11 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines: the stirring assembly 4 includes a stirring tank 41, a stirring body 42, and an evaporator 43. The stirring tank 41 is mounted on the shell assembly 1, the stirring body 42 is mounted on the stirring tank 41, and the evaporator 43 is mounted on the stirring tank 41 and located on the inner side wall of the stirring tank 41. A portion of the second sealing member 5 is sandwiched between the stirring tank 41 and the shell assembly 1. By using the stirring tank 41 as a basic carrier mounted on the shell assembly 1, a stable installation space is provided for the stirring body 42 and the evaporator 43. At the same time, the second sealing member 5 sandwiched between the stirring tank 41 and the shell assembly can accurately fill the assembly gap between the two, forming a tight seal, preventing beverage raw materials and condensate from seeping into the shell, and ensuring the safety of the core components of the equipment. The stirring body 42 is mounted on the stirring tank 41, which can efficiently stir the raw materials, ensuring the uniformity of the beverage texture. Moreover, the vibration generated during its operation can be buffered by the deformation space of the second sealing member 5, reducing the impact on the sealing structure and extending the service life of the sealing member. The evaporator 43 is located on the inner wall of the mixing tank 41, which can precisely control the temperature inside the tank to meet the needs of refrigerated beverage manufacturing. At the same time, its close fit with the mixing tank 41 can prevent temperature fluctuations from causing component deformation that affects the seal. Combined with the protection of the second sealing element, it ensures stable temperature control and eliminates sealing gaps caused by temperature changes.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, this embodiment discloses a beverage making machine, including: the sealing structure described above; and a beverage making machine body, wherein the sealing structure is disposed on the beverage making machine body.
[0054] The second aspect of this application discloses a beverage manufacturing machine, in which a sealing structure is installed on the body of the beverage manufacturing machine. On the one hand, the deformation space of the second sealing component 5 can buffer the vibration of the stirring component 4 during operation. The double barrier of the first sealing component 2 and the second sealing component 5 can effectively prevent the leakage of beverage raw materials and condensate, avoid corrosion of the core components inside the machine, extend the service life of the equipment, reduce the frequency of downtime maintenance, and ensure continuous production efficiency. On the other hand, the design of the sealing space 503, the arc-shaped abutment component, etc., can further eliminate sealing gaps. Combined with the temperature control function of the evaporator 43, it can not only prevent sealing failure caused by temperature fluctuations, but also prevent the growth of bacteria due to residual cleaning liquid, meet the stringent hygiene standards of beverage production, and ensure the safety of beverages.
