[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Referring to FIG. 1, 2, and 3, a first embodiment of the present utility model provides a main body for a slush machine, comprising a chassis body 1, a detachable slush container 2, and a rotary buckle assembly. A top of the chassis body 1 is provided with a driving base 11 corresponding to the slush container 2. The driving base 11 and the slush container 2 are closed by the rotary buckle assembly to form a sealed space for slush production and storage.

[0029] Wherein, the rotary buckle assembly comprises a rotary buckle 3, a locking post 4 provided on the slush container 2, and a handle 5 for driving the rotary buckle 3 to rotate. The driving base 11 is provided with a rotating shaft 6a for mounting the rotary buckle 3.

[0030] The rotary buckle 3 is provided with an arc-shaped locking slot 31. One end of the arc-shaped locking slot 31 is provided with a slot opening 32. The locking post 4 enters the arc-shaped locking slot 31 through the slot opening 32. As the locking post 4 moves relatively along the arc-shaped locking slot 31, a distance between the locking post 4 and the rotating shaft 6a gradually decreases, so as to pull the driving base 11 and the slush container 2 together.

[0031] Specifically, the rotary buckle 3 is further provided with a travel limit slot 32 for limiting a rotation angle of the rotary buckle 3. The driving base 11 is provided with a travel limit post 111 corresponding to the travel limit slot 32. After the rotary buckle 3 is mounted and connected to the rotating shaft 6a, the travel limit post 111 will be placed into the travel limit slot 32, thereby serving to limit the travel of the rotation of the rotary buckle 3.

[0032] Further, the rotary buckle 3 is provided with the travel limit slot 32 having a preset arc and length, such that when the travel limit post 111 is at one end of the travel limit slot 32, the slot opening 32 and the locking post 4 are correspondingly disposed to each other, thereby making it convenient for a user to turn the slot opening 32 to a position corresponding to the locking post 4, and thus facilitating the insertion of the locking post 4 into the arc-shaped locking slot 31. Correspondingly, it can be preset that when the travel limit post 111 is at the other end of the travel limit slot 32, the distance between the locking post 4 and the rotating shaft 6a is at a minimum or approaches a minimum.

[0033] To facilitate the insertion of the locking post 4 into the arc-shaped locking slot 31, one end of the arc-shaped locking slot 31 is a locking point 31a, and the other end is the slot opening 32. From the locking point 3 la to the slot opening 32, a width of the arcshaped locking slot 31 gradually increases. That is, the arc-shaped locking slot 31 is preferably in an overall arc-shaped trumpet form.

[0034] To facilitate the movement of a rotating scraper blade generally included in a slush machine, the slush container 2 has a cylindrical shape or an elliptical cylindrical shape.

[0035] To stabilize the installation of the slush container 2, the top of the chassis body 1 is provided with a container recess 12 adapted to a bottom shape of the slush container 2, so as to form chassis support edges 13 on two sides of the top of the chassis body 1. The chassis support edges 13 are located on two sides of the container recess 12. Two sides of the slush container 2 are provided with container support edges 21 corresponding to the chassis support edges 13 on the two sides.

[0036] A preset position of the chassis support edge 13 is provided with a limiting insertion slot 131 for restricting upward movement of the slush container. The slush container 2 is provided with a limiting insertion edge 211 for inserting into the limiting insertion slot 131, such that when the driving base 11 and the slush container 2 are closed, under the guidance of the container support edge 21 sliding horizontally along the chassis support edge 13, the limiting insertion edge 211 is inserted into the limiting insertion slot 131, preventing the slush container 2 from moving up and down, thereby stabilizing the installation of the slush container 2.

[0037] Two sides of the driving base 11 are provided with the rotary buckles 3. Two ends of the rotating shaft 6a are respectively mounted with the rotary buckles 3 on the two sides to synchronously link the rotation of the rotary buckles 3 on the two sides, i.e., the rotating shaft 6a is installed passing through the driving base 11. Correspondingly, at least one of the rotary buckles 3 is connected to the handle 5 to drive the rotation of the rotary buckle 3. The handle 5 is preferably rod-shaped. [003 8] Referring to FIG. 4, for the rotational drive of the rotary buckle 3, the present utility model also provides a second embodiment. The difference from the first embodiment is that the two sides of the driving base 11 are provided with the rotary buckles 3; the two sides of the driving base 11 are respectively provided with the rotating shafts to independently mount the rotary buckles. Compared to the first embodiment, this avoids the need for a single rotating shaft to completely pass through the driving base 11, thus avoiding an impact on the internal structure of the driving base 11.

[0039] Further, compared to the handle 5 of the first embodiment, it is replaced with a bail handle 7. Two ends of the bail handle 7 are respectively connected to the rotary buckles 3 on the two sides to synchronously link the rotation of the rotary buckles 3 on the two sides. Preferably, the bail handle 7 is U-shaped. With this design, the bail handle can not only realize the synchronous driving of the rotation of the rotary buckles 3 on both sides but can also serve as a carrying handle during moving.

[0040] The foregoing descriptions are preferred embodiments of the present utility model. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present utility model. These improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
