Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of cold product preparation equipment, and specifically provides a smoothie machine. Background Technology

[0002] As a common cold product preparation equipment, a smoothie machine typically includes a main body, a container for holding raw materials, and a water collection device to collect overflowing liquids or condensate to ensure cleanliness during use. Because the smoothie is prepared in a low temperature environment, condensation easily forms on the outer wall of the container due to temperature differences. If not collected promptly, this condensate can leak, contaminating the inside of the machine or the surrounding environment, thus affecting the user experience.

[0003] To address the issue of condensate collection, some smoothie machines incorporate a collection container at the bottom of the condensate drum. The condensate is then channeled through a water inlet pipe to a drip tray for centralized treatment. The two ends of this water inlet pipe are typically fixed to ensure a stable flow of condensate.

[0004] However, when the smoothie machine is working, the top cylinder generates high-frequency vibrations due to the agitation of the internal materials. This vibration can easily be transmitted to other parts of the machine through the rigidly connected water pipes. This vibration transmission not only produces significant noise but may also affect the stability of the internal electrical control components and connecting structures. Over time, this could even lead to loosening or malfunction of parts, reducing the lifespan of the equipment and user comfort. Utility Model Content

[0005] One objective of this invention is to solve the problem that the water inlet pipe of existing smoothie machines easily transmits the vibration generated by the material cylinder during operation to other parts, thereby increasing noise.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a smoothie machine, comprising: The fuselage has a clearance cavity with a front opening at the bottom; The water tray is inserted into the clearance cavity at the rear. The material cylinder is located at the top of the machine body and is used to hold the smoothie and its raw materials; A water collection container is disposed on the bottom side of the material cylinder to receive the condensate generated by the material cylinder; The water inlet pipe is connected at its top end to the water collection container, and its bottom end is located on the top side of the rear of the water receiving tray to introduce condensate from the water collection container into the water receiving tray; the bottom of the water inlet pipe is suspended inside the machine body to prevent the water inlet pipe from transmitting the vibration of the top of the smoothie machine to the top of the smoothie machine.

[0007] Optionally, the water inlet pipeline includes a top pipe section and a bottom pipe section, the top pipe section and the bottom pipe section being connected together so that the bottom pipe section is suspended inside the machine body.

[0008] Optionally, both the top pipe section and the bottom pipe section extend vertically to prevent the water pipe from bending and deforming under the action of gravity.

[0009] Optionally, the bottom end of the top pipe section is inserted into the bottom pipe section, and the bottom pipe section is provided with a water guiding slope facing the top pipe section to slow down the flow rate of condensate in the water inlet pipe.

[0010] Optionally, the angle between the water-guiding slope and the vertical direction is selected from any value between 120° and 150°.

[0011] Optionally, the distance between the water inlet pipe and the water receiving tray is selected from any value between 1 mm and 3 mm.

[0012] Optionally, the bottom cross-section of the water inlet pipe is a U-shape that is narrow at the front and back and wide at the left and right; the distance between the bottom of the water inlet pipe and the rear side wall of the water receiving tray is selected from any value between 3mm and 8mm, so as to ensure that the condensate in the water inlet pipe flows into the water receiving tray while preventing the condensate from splashing out of the water receiving tray.

[0013] Optionally, the distance between the bottom of the water inlet pipe and the rear sidewall of the water receiving tray is selected from any value between 4 mm and 6 mm.

[0014] Optionally, an opening is also provided on the bottom side of the clearance cavity, and the bottom end of the water inlet pipe is aligned with the opening to prevent condensate in the water inlet pipe from dripping into the machine body after the water receiving tray is pulled out of the clearance cavity.

[0015] Optionally, the water collection container is detachably installed inside the body.

[0016] Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art will understand that in the aforementioned technical solution of this utility model, by suspending the bottom of the water pipe inside the machine body, the vibration of the top of the smoothie machine is prevented from being transmitted to the top of the smoothie machine, thereby reducing the noise of the smoothie machine during operation.

[0017] Furthermore, by extending both the top and bottom sections of the water intake pipeline vertically, the bending and deformation of the water intake pipeline under gravity is effectively prevented, thereby ensuring the drainage performance of the water intake pipeline.

[0024] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of this utility model, mm represents millimeter, cm represents centimeter, and m represents meter.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the smoothie machine 001 includes a body 100, a water receiving tray 200, a material cylinder 300, a water collection container 400, a water inlet pipe 500, a stirring blade 610, a cylinder 620, a compressor 630, and a condenser 640.

[0026] The water tray 200 is detachably installed at the bottom of the body 100 so that users can clean the water tray 200.

[0027] The material cylinder 300 is located at the top of the machine body 100 and is used to hold smoothies and their ingredients. Furthermore, the top of the material cylinder 300 has a feeding port (not marked in the figure) for adding ingredients such as water, cream, and juice into the material cylinder 300. The material cylinder 300 is also connected to a discharge nozzle (not marked in the figure) on the front side of the top of the machine body 100, allowing the smoothies inside the material cylinder 300 to be discharged through this discharge nozzle.

[0028] The water collection container 400 is located at the bottom of the feed cylinder 300 and is used to receive the condensate generated by the feed cylinder 300. Those skilled in the art can, as needed, detachably install the water collection container 400 inside the machine body 100 so that users can remove the water collection container 400 from the machine body 100 for cleaning.

[0029] The top end of the water inlet pipe 500 is connected to the water collection container 400, and the bottom end of the water inlet pipe 500 is located on the top side of the rear of the water receiving tray 200, so as to introduce the condensate in the water collection container 400 into the water receiving tray 200. The bottom of the water inlet pipe 500 is suspended inside the machine body 100 to prevent the water inlet pipe 500 from transmitting the vibration of the top of the smoothie machine 001 to the top of the smoothie machine 001.

[0030] The stirring blade 610 is fitted onto the cylinder 620 and can rotate relative to the cylinder 620 to stir the ice and raw materials in the material cylinder 300. Specifically, the machine body 100 is equipped with a stirring motor (not marked in the figure), and the rotating shaft of the stirring motor or a drive shaft coaxially fixed to the rotating shaft passes through the cylinder 620 and is coaxially fixedly connected to the stirring blade 610.

[0031] The cylinder 620 contains an evaporator tube (not marked in the figure). The compressor 630 and condenser 640 are both located inside the machine body 100 and together with the evaporator tube form a refrigeration system. The evaporator tube is cooled by the refrigerant inside the refrigeration system, thereby cooling the cylinder 620, and then the raw material in the feed cylinder 300 is cooled through the cylinder 620.

[0032] Since the technical means of refrigeration through a refrigeration system is common knowledge in the field and well known to those skilled in the art, it will not be described in detail here.

[0033] Furthermore, in other embodiments of this utility model, those skilled in the art can replace the above-described refrigeration system with any other feasible refrigeration structure as needed. For example, the evaporator, compressor 630, and condenser 640 can be omitted, and a semiconductor refrigeration component can be arranged inside the cylinder 620, thereby using the semiconductor refrigeration component to refrigerate the cylinder 620.

[0034] Those skilled in the art will understand that by suspending the bottom of the water pipe 500 inside the machine body 100, the water pipe 500 is prevented from transmitting the vibration of the top of the smoothie machine 001 to the top of the smoothie machine 001, thereby reducing the noise of the smoothie machine 001 during operation.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the bottom of the body 100 is provided with a relief cavity 101 with a front opening, so that the rear part of the water receiving tray 200 is inserted into the relief cavity 101 and aligned with the bottom end of the water inlet pipe 500 (e.g., Figure 3 and Figure 4 (As shown).

[0036] from Figure 5 It can also be seen that in some embodiments of this utility model, an opening is also provided on the bottom side of the clearance cavity 101. Furthermore, the bottom end of the water inlet pipe 500 is aligned with this opening to prevent condensate water in the water inlet pipe 500 from dripping into the interior of the machine body 100 after the water receiving tray 200 is pulled out of the clearance cavity 101.

[0037] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the water inlet pipe 500 includes a top pipe section 510 and a bottom pipe section 520. The top pipe section 510 and the bottom pipe section 520 are connected together so that the bottom pipe section 520 is suspended inside the body 100.

[0038] from Figure 6 As can be seen, a drain outlet 401 is provided at the front of the water collection container 400, and the top pipe section 510 is connected to the drain outlet 401. Furthermore, the top pipe section 510 can be integrally manufactured with the water collection container 400.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the top pipe section 510 and the bottom pipe section 520 both extend in the vertical direction to prevent the water inlet pipe 500 from bending and deforming under the action of gravity, thereby ensuring the drainage performance of the water inlet pipe 500.

[0040] Of course, in other embodiments of this utility model, those skilled in the art can also, as needed, set at least one of the top pipe section 510 and the bottom pipe section 520 to other forms. For example, the top pipe section 510 can be set to an S-shape, and the bottom pipe section 520 can be set to extend downward and forward.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the bottom end of the top pipe section 510 is inserted into the bottom pipe section 520. Furthermore, the bottom pipe section 520 is provided with a water-guiding slope 521 facing the top pipe section 510 to slow down the flow rate of condensate in the water inlet pipe 500.

[0042] from Figure 4 As can be seen, the bottom pipe section 520 is also provided with an abutment surface (not marked in the figure). When the top pipe section 510 and the bottom pipe section 520 are inserted together, the bottom end of the top pipe section 510 abuts against this abutment surface.

[0043] from Figure 4 It can also be seen that the projection of the bottom end of the top pipe section 510 in the vertical direction falls completely into the water guide slope 521.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the angle γ between the water guiding slope 521 and the vertical direction is selected from any value between 120° and 150°, so that the water guiding slope 521 can reduce the flow rate of condensate in the water inlet pipe 500 while reducing the impact of condensate on the water guiding slope 521.

[0045] The angle γ between the water-guiding inclined plane 521 and the vertical direction can be any feasible value such as 120°, 125°, 130°, 135°, 140°, 145°, or 150°.

[0046] Continue reading Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the distance h between the water inlet pipe 500 and the water receiving tray 200 is selected from any value between 1 mm and 3 mm to ensure that the water receiving tray 200 can be inserted into the relief cavity 101 and located below the bottom end of the water inlet pipe 500. At the same time, it also prevents condensate flowing from the bottom end of the water inlet pipe 500 from splashing out of the water receiving tray 200.

[0047] The distance h between the water inlet pipe 500 and the water receiving tray 200 can be any feasible value such as 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, or 3mm.

[0048] Continue reading Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the bottom cross-section of the water inlet pipe 500 is a U-shape, narrow at the front and back and wide at the left and right. Furthermore, the distance b between the bottom of the water inlet pipe 500 and the rear side wall of the water receiving tray 200 is selected from any value between 3mm and 8mm, to ensure that the condensate from the water inlet pipe 500 flows into the water receiving tray 200 while preventing condensate from splashing out of the water receiving tray 200.

[0049] The distance b between the bottom of the water inlet pipe 500 and the rear side wall of the water receiving tray 200 can be any feasible value such as 3mm, 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, 5.3mm, 5.8mm, 6mm, 6.5mm, 7mm, or 8mm.

[0050] Furthermore, the distance b between the bottom of the water inlet pipe 500 and the rear side wall of the water receiving tray 200 is selected from any value between 4 mm and 6 mm.

[0051] In summary, by suspending the bottom of the water inlet pipe 500 inside the machine body 100, this utility model prevents the water inlet pipe 500 from transmitting vibrations from the top of the smoothie machine 001 to the top of the smoothie machine 001, thereby reducing the noise during operation of the smoothie machine 001. Furthermore, by ensuring that both the top pipe section 510 and the bottom pipe section 520 of the water inlet pipe 500 extend vertically, it effectively prevents the water inlet pipe 500 from bending and deforming under gravity, thus ensuring the drainage performance of the water inlet pipe 500.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the slush machine 001 of this utility model can not only be used to make slushies, but also to make ice cream. Users can add ingredients such as fruits, juices, milk, and cream to the feed cylinder 300 as needed to produce the corresponding cold products.

[0053] The technical solution of this utility model has been described in conjunction with several embodiments above. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the technical principles of this utility model, those skilled in the art can disassemble and combine the technical solutions in the above embodiments, and can also make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features. Any changes, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the technical concept and / or technical principles of this utility model will fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
