Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a slush machine, and more particularly to a water tank locking structure for a slush machine. Background Technology

[0002] Slush machines, also known as slush machines, are a new type of commercial cold beverage machinery developed in recent years. They are primarily used in beverage shops, cafes, hotels, and other catering establishments.

[0003] Existing slush machines use a knob-type locking device to lock the water tank. This design has several drawbacks: the knob is circular, and the limited arm length makes operation difficult and labor-intensive. Furthermore, the connection between the two knobs via a connecting rod running through the machine body is complex. During operation, when one knob is rotated forcefully, the other knob experiences uneven force due to the connecting rod, negatively impacting product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a locking structure for the water tank of a slush machine, addressing the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following measures: A slush machine water tank locking structure includes a slush machine body, on which a slush machine water tank is detachably mounted. A locking device for locking the slush machine water tank is installed on the body of the slush machine body. The locking device includes a locking handle, which is U-shaped. Two locking discs are provided at opposite ends of the locking handle. An arc-shaped driving part is curved upward in the middle of the locking handle. A horizontal connecting part is provided between the locking discs and the arc-shaped driving part. Rotary shafts for rotatably connecting the locking discs are provided on both sides of the slush machine body. A shaft hole is opened in the middle of the locking disc, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected in the shaft hole. Locking pins are provided on the outer walls of both sides of the slush machine water tank. An open locking groove that cooperates with the locking pin is opened on the inner side of the locking disc. The locking disc is provided with an arc-shaped limiting groove, and the body of the snow slush machine is provided with a limiting block that cooperates with the arc-shaped limiting groove for limiting. The lock disc is provided with a clearance groove that is parallel to the arc-shaped limiting groove. The clearance groove is connected to one end of the arc-shaped limiting groove, and an elastic plate is formed between the clearance groove and the arc-shaped limiting groove. The elastic plate has a limiting protrusion on the side near the arc-shaped limiting groove; A cover is fastened to the outer side of the lock disc; The locking handle is a single injection-molded structure.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: practicality, novel structure, convenient operation, labor saving, and easy installation or removal of the slush machine water tank, thus improving the quality of the product. Attached Figure Description

[0010] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the planar structure of the locked state of this utility model.

[0011] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the unlocked planar structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0012] A slush machine water tank locking structure includes a slush machine body 1, a slush machine water tank 2 detachably mounted on the slush machine body 1, and a locking device for locking the slush machine water tank 2 installed on the body of the slush machine body 1. The locking device includes a locking handle 3, which has a U-shaped structure. The two ends of the locking handle 3 are respectively provided as two locking discs 301. The middle of the locking handle 3 is curved upward to form an arc driving part 302. A horizontal connecting part 303 is provided between the locking discs 301 and the arc driving part 302. Rotating shafts 4 for rotatably connecting the locking discs 301 are provided on both sides of the body of the slush machine body 1. A shaft hole 304 is opened in the middle of the locking disc 301, and the rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected in the shaft hole 304. Locking pins 201 are provided on the outer walls of both sides of the slush machine water tank 2. An open locking groove 305 that cooperates with the locking pin 201 is opened on the inner side of the locking disc 301.

[0013] like Figure 1-5 As shown, when it is necessary to remove the slush machine water tank 2, the arc drive part 302 of the locking handle 3 is pulled outward. The locking handle 3 rotates along the rotating shaft 4. When the locking disc 301 rotates accordingly, the locking pin 201 disengages from the outside of the open locking groove 305 (as shown). Figure 5 As shown), when the locking handle 3 is rotated, the groove wall of the opening locking groove 305 on its locking disc 301 can also push the slush machine water tank 2 outward a distance through the locking pin 201. At this time, the slush machine water tank 2 can be slid outward and removed.

[0014] When locking the slush machine water tank 2, push the slush machine water tank 2 inward. When the locking pin 201 on the slush machine water tank 2 moves above the open locking groove 305, rotate the locking handle 3 in the opposite direction. The locking disc 301 will then rotate, allowing the locking pin 201 to fall into the open locking groove 305 (e.g., Figure 4 As shown in the figure, at the same time, the groove wall of the opening lock groove 305 can pull the slush machine water tank 2 inward by a distance through the lock pin 201, further pressing the seal on the slush machine water tank 2 against the slush machine body 1, resulting in better sealing performance.

[0015] The locking disc 301 is provided with an arc-shaped limiting groove 306, and the body of the slush machine 1 is provided with a limiting block 101 for limiting the movement in conjunction with the arc-shaped limiting groove 306.

[0016] The locking disc 301 is provided with a clearance groove 307 arranged parallel to the arc-shaped limiting groove 306. The clearance groove 307 is connected to one end of the arc-shaped limiting groove 306, and an elastic plate 308 is formed between the clearance groove 307 and the arc-shaped limiting groove 306.

[0017] The elastic plate 308 is provided with a limiting protrusion 309 on the side near the arc-shaped limiting groove 306.

[0018] like Figure 4 As shown, in the locked state, the limiting block 101 falls into the arc-shaped limiting groove 306, and in conjunction with the limiting protrusion 309, it limits the entire latch handle 3, preventing accidental rotation of the latch handle 3 by external force. Overcoming the elastic force of the elastic plate 308 allows the latch handle 3 to be rotated. For example, rotating the latch handle 3 outward causes the lock disc 301 to rotate accordingly, and the limiting block 101 passes over the limiting protrusion 309, thus unlocking the latch.

[0019] The outer side of the lock disc 301 is fastened with a disc cover 5.

[0020] The locking handle 3 is an integral structure formed by injection molding.
