Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cooking utensil technology, and more specifically, to a cooking utensil. Background Technology

[0002] Automatic cooking machines typically include a spraying component and a scraping component. The spraying component adds seasonings to the pan, while the scraping component prevents sticking, or the stirring component mixes the ingredients. However, in existing automatic cooking machines, the scraping component or the stirring component mounted on the outer casing is tightly integrated with the spraying component. This makes maintenance difficult, as the spraying component must be disassembled before the scraping or stirring component can be removed. Furthermore, the seasonings added by the spraying component tend to adhere to the scraping or stirring component, preventing them from fully penetrating the ingredients and resulting in poor flavor. Additionally, when cleaning the pan, water drips from the spraying component and remains on the scraping or stirring component, leaving water and other residues inside, affecting cooking and increasing the difficulty of cleaning the scraping component. This can also lead to oil splattering during subsequent cooking, negatively impacting the user experience.

[0003] In addition, existing automatic cooking machines also have problems such as easily breaking up ingredients, insufficient stir-frying, and too many gaps that make it easy for food to be left behind. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a cooking appliance to solve the problem of inconvenient maintenance of existing automatic cooking machines.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a cooking utensil, comprising: a shell; a pot body disposed inside the shell and rotatably disposed relative to the shell; a feeding component connected to the shell and located above the rim of the pot body; and an attachment component connected to the shell and located on the inner wall of the pot body, wherein the feeding component and the attachment component are circumferentially offset along the circumference of the pot body.

[0006] Furthermore, the cooking appliance also includes a stirring element rotatably disposed within the pot body; additional components include a scraper.

[0007] Furthermore, the direction of rotation of the stirring component relative to the shell is the first direction, and the direction from the feeding component along the circumference of the pot body through the shorter side to the scraping component is the second direction. The first direction and the second direction are the same.

[0008] Furthermore, the scraper includes: a scraper portion disposed within the pot body, the shape of which conforms to the inner surface of the pot body; and a connecting portion, one end of which extends out of the pot body and connects to the connecting portion. At least one of the scraper portion and the connecting portion is provided with a first connecting structure for position adjustment, so that the scraper portion and the connecting portion are adjustablely connected. At least one of the connecting portion and the housing has a second connecting structure for position adjustment, so that the connecting portion and the housing are adjustablely connected. The adjustment directions of the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure are not coincident.

[0009] Furthermore, the first connection structure and / or the second connection structure includes multiple vias, which are stacked sequentially along the adjustment direction. Adjacent vias are spaced apart or partially overlap. When two adjacent vias overlap, the distance between the two intersection points of the two overlapping vias is less than the diameter of any one of the vias.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the stirring component has a base, and the bottom of the inner side of the pot has a rotating platform. The base and the rotating platform have a non-circular structure that cooperates with each other, and the base and the rotating platform rotate synchronously through the non-circular structure; and / or the bottom of the stirring component has a base, and the bottom of the inner side of the pot has a rotating platform. The base and the rotating platform have a transmission structure that cooperates with each other. The transmission structure is eccentrically set relative to the rotation center of the rotating platform, and the base and the rotating platform rotate synchronously through the transmission structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the stirring component includes a main body and a stirring part. The main body is rotatably disposed, and the stirring part is located on the side of the main body facing the inner wall of the pot and extends towards the inner wall of the pot to stir the food. The stirring part has a notch for avoiding the food. And / or there are multiple stirring parts, and each stirring part is spaced apart along the side of the main body. And / or the stirring parts are continuously disposed along the side of the main body.

[0012] Furthermore, there are multiple main bodies, each arranged at intervals along the circumference of the pot body. There are multiple stirring parts, each main body having at least one stirring part on its side, and the stirring parts on each main body have the same structure or the stirring parts on at least two main bodies have different structures.

[0013] Furthermore, the pot body has a non-stick coating, which is provided on the inner wall surface of the pot body, the edge of the pot opening, and / or the outer side of the edge of the pot opening.

[0014] Furthermore, the thickness of the non-stick layer is greater than 40 μm.

[0015] Furthermore, the agitator and / or scraper have a flexible portion located on the side of the agitator near the scraper or on the side of the scraper along the circumference of the pot body.

[0016] By applying the technical solution of this invention, the mounting component and the feeding component are offset circumferentially from each other on the pot body, thus avoiding the position directly below the feeding component. This eliminates the tight fit between the two components, preventing interference. During maintenance, only the mounting component needs to be disassembled for repair, without disassembling the feeding component, thereby reducing maintenance difficulty and improving efficiency. Furthermore, since the mounting component is not directly below the feeding component, drips of seasonings and water from the feeding component are less likely to remain on it. This prevents water residue from remaining on the mounting component during pot washing, which could cause oil splattering and injury during subsequent cooking, and also avoids seasoning residue on the mounting component, facilitating cleaning and solving the problem of difficult cleaning.

[0028] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0030] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" are generally used in relation to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or in relation to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction of the component itself; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not intended to limit this invention.

[0031] To address the problem of inconvenient maintenance in existing automatic cooking machines, this invention provides a cooking appliance.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 8 The cooking appliance shown includes a shell 10, a pot body 20, a feeding component 40, and an attachment component. The pot body 20 is disposed inside the shell 10 and is rotatable relative to the shell 10. The feeding component 40 is connected to the shell 10 and is located above the opening of the pot body 20. The attachment component is connected to the shell 10 and is located on the inner wall of the pot body 20. The feeding component 40 and the attachment component are circumferentially offset along the circumference of the pot body 20.

[0033] It should be noted that the pot body 20 can be located inside the shell 10, either adjacent to the shell, as long as the pot body 20 can rotate relative to the shell 10. Preferably, the shell has a receiving cavity, and the pot body 20 is at least partially located within the receiving cavity to prevent burns and protect the pot body 20. The attachment is a component that can be detached from the shell. Preferably, the attachment can be a stirring component for stirring food, a scraping mechanism for cleaning food adhering to the inner wall of the pot, or a mechanism that combines both functions. Such mechanisms are generally consumable parts and require frequent disassembly and maintenance. In this embodiment, the attachment and the feeding component 40 are offset circumferentially from the pot body 20, so that the attachment avoids the position directly below the feeding component 40. In this way, the feeding component 40 and the attachment are no longer tightly fitted, and there is no interference between them. During maintenance, only the attachment needs to be disassembled for maintenance, without disassembling the feeding component 40, thereby reducing the difficulty of maintenance and improving maintenance efficiency. Meanwhile, since the addition component is not directly below the feeding component 40, the seasonings and water falling from the feeding component 40 can be prevented from dripping and remaining on the addition component. This avoids water stains remaining on the addition component when washing the pot, which could cause oil splattering and injury during subsequent cooking. It also avoids seasoning residue on the addition component, making it easier to clean and solving the problem of difficult cleaning.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 8 The cooking appliance shown also includes a stirring element 30, which is rotatably disposed within the pot body 20; the attachment includes a scraper 50.

[0035] It should be noted that the stirring element 30 is rotatably disposed within the pot body 20, including but not limited to several situations: 1. The pot body 20 and the stirring element 30 rotate synchronously, with the same rotation direction and speed; 2. The pot body 20 and the stirring element 30 both rotate in the same direction, but the rotation speed of the pot body 20 is different from that of the stirring element 30; 3. The pot body 20 and the stirring element 30 both rotate, but in different directions, and their rotation speeds may be the same or different; 4. The pot body 20 does not rotate, but the stirring element 30 rotates.

[0036] Preferably, the rotation direction of the stirring member 30 relative to the shell 10 is the first direction, and the direction from the feeding member 40 along the circumference of the pot body 20 through the shorter path to the scraper member 50 is the second direction. The first direction and the second direction are the same. That is, the scraper member 50 is located downstream of the feeding member 40. When the stirring member 30 rotates, a fixed point on the stirring member 30 will first pass the feeding member 40, and then pass the scraper member 50 after traveling a short distance. More specifically, from the top view of the pot body 20, when the feeding member 40 is located at the upper edge of the pot body 20, if the stirring member 30 rotates clockwise, the scraper member 50 is located to the right of the feeding member 40; if the stirring member 30 rotates counterclockwise, the scraper member 50 is located to the left of the feeding member 40. Figure 1The image shows the setup when rotating clockwise. This setup allows the scraper 50 and the feeder 40 to avoid each other, preventing them from interfering with each other, and also prevents the food from being crushed.

[0037] Regarding the aforementioned effect of preventing food from being crushed, specifically, the pot body 20 and the outer shell 10 can be tilted at a certain angle, thereby enabling processes such as heating oil, stir-frying, and serving. The ingredient feeding component 40 is generally located at the upper edge of the pot body 20 when tilted, whereas the traditional method places the scraper directly below the ingredient feeding component. Therefore, referring to... Figure 1 As shown in the diagram, due to the tilt of the pot body 20, when the stirring component 30 is in the upper region during cooking, most of it is detached from the food or contains relatively little food. The stirring component has two surfaces perpendicular to the inner wall of the pot, namely... Figure 1 The first surface 34 on the left and the second surface 35 on the right of the stirring element 30, located in the middle, when the stirring element rotates clockwise, as... Figure 1 As indicated by the middle arrow, when the mixing component rotates to the left side of the vertical position, the food on the first surface 34 of the mixing component falls off first, but the food on the second surface 35 of the mixing component may still remain. When the mixing component continues to rotate to the vertical position, that is, when it is aligned with the feeding component, if the scraper is located directly below the feeding component, most of the food on the second surface 35 of the mixing component remains. In addition, the gap between the mixing component and the scraper is generally small, so the food is very easy to get stuck between the mixing component and the scraper, which will cause the food to be crushed. If too much or too hard food is stuck in the gap, it will also damage the mixing component and the scraper.

[0038] Unlike the traditional method described above, this embodiment not only offsets the scraper 50 from the feeding component 40 by a certain distance, but also positions the scraper 50 downstream of the feeding component 40. This way, when the stirring component 30 flips the food to its upper position and passes the vertical position of the feeding component 40, as... Figure 1 When the mixing element 30 is positioned on the left side, the food hanging on the second surface 35 of the mixing element 30 will fall off under its own weight, thus detaching from the mixing element 30. At this time, when the mixing element 30 passes the scraper 50 again, as... Figure 1 When the mixing element 30 is positioned on the right side, the food has already fallen and will not get stuck between the mixing element 30 and the scraper 50. This prevents a large amount of food carried by the mixing element 30 from entering the gap between the mixing element 30 and the scraper 50, which could cause the food to be crushed or even hinder further rotation. When the mixing element 30 rotates counterclockwise, simply interchange the first surface 34 and the second surface 35; the principle is exactly the same and will not be elaborated further.

[0039] In this embodiment, the pot body 20 is located inside the shell 10, meaning that the pot body 20 is located on the side closer to the center of the pot opening. In this way, the shell 10 can be a shell-shaped structure that can accommodate the pot body 20, or it can simply be a base that is rotatably connected to the pot body 20. It does not need to accommodate the pot body 20. The shell 10 can be used to fix the feeding component 40 and the scraping component 50.

[0040] It should be noted that, Figure 1 The image showing two stirring elements 30 does not mean that there are two stirring elements 30, but rather shows two different positional states of one stirring element 30. Furthermore, for ease of observation, Figure 1 Only a portion of the agitator 30 is shown, not the entire agitator 30.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the scraper 50 includes a scraping part 51 and a connecting part 52. The scraping part 51 is disposed inside the pot body 20 and is the main part that performs the scraping function. The scraping part 51 is strip-shaped, and its shape and curvature are fitted to the inner surface of the pot body 20 to ensure the scraping effect. One end of the scraping part 51 is fixed to a base at the bottom of the pot body 20, while the other end of the scraping part 51 extends out of the pot body 20 and connects to the connecting part 52. The connecting part 52 is then connected to the outer shell 10 of the pot body 20, thereby achieving overall fixation of the scraper 50.

[0042] In this embodiment, the scraper portion 51 and the connecting portion 52, as well as the connecting portion 52 and the housing 10, are connected in an adjustable manner. Specifically, at least one of the scraper portion 51 and the connecting portion 52 is provided with a first connecting structure 53 for position adjustment, so that the scraper portion 51 and the connecting portion 52 are adjustablely connected and their positions can be adjusted through the first connecting structure 53. Similarly, at least one of the connecting portion 52 and the housing 10 is provided with a second connecting structure 54 for position adjustment, so that the connecting portion 52 and the housing 10 are adjustablely connected and their positions can be adjusted through the second connecting structure 54. Furthermore, the adjustment direction of the first connecting structure 53 and the adjustment direction of the second connecting structure 54 are not coincident. In this way, the position of the scraper 50 can be adjusted through the corresponding connection structure, that is, the tightness of its scraping action can be adjusted. This avoids problems such as excessive tightness or looseness between the inner surface of the pot body 20 and the scraper 50 due to processing precision issues, ensuring that the scraper 50 can perform the scraping effect normally. At the same time, the adjustment in two directions can increase the adjustable range of the scraper 50, avoiding the situation where adjustment in one direction cannot avoid certain problems, and improving the fit between the scraper 50 and the pot body 20.

[0043] Preferably, the first connecting structure 53 and / or the second connecting structure 54 includes a plurality of vias, which are stacked sequentially along the adjustment direction. The vias are spaced apart or partially overlapped. When two adjacent vias overlap each other, the distance between the two intersection points of the two overlapping vias is less than the diameter of any one of the vias.

[0044] Specifically, the first connecting structure 53 and the second connecting structure 54 in this embodiment are identical, differing only in their orientation. Alternatively, one or both could be adapted to achieve adjustment using other structural forms. Considering that adjusting the scraper's tightness by only a few millimeters can have a significant impact, the spacing between the adjustment positions of the connecting structure should not be too large. Furthermore, due to the considerable force exerted during scraping, to prevent loosening, the connecting structure in this embodiment consists of multiple through holes. These through holes are radially stacked and partially interconnected, thus forming multiple adjustment positions. Screws are inserted between these through holes to switch positions, enabling small-range adjustment of the scraper's tightness. To prevent the screw from arbitrarily switching positions between vias, the overlap between two adjacent vias in this embodiment cannot be too large. The distance between the two intersection points formed by the circular overlap of the edges of two overlapping vias must be less than the diameter of any one of the vias. In other words, the two overlapping vias cannot form a single circular hole; a certain toothed structure is required at the overlap. The distance between two opposing toothed structures is the distance between the two intersection points. The toothed structure acts as a stop for the screw, preventing it from arbitrarily switching positions between vias. Therefore, the connecting structure can also be described as a long, narrow hole with raised toothed structures on its side, forming a toothed hole. The toothed structure divides the long, narrow hole into multiple adjustment positions. It should be noted that in actual use, the size of the overlap between vias must match the diameter of the screw used, ensuring that the screw does not switch positions between vias.

[0045] In actual installation, taking the scraper portion 51 and the connecting portion 52 as examples, the first connecting structure 53 described above can be provided on both the scraper portion 51 and the connecting portion 52, or the first connecting structure 53 can be provided on only one of them, and the other can be provided with a conventional round hole. The position can be adjusted by cooperating with different through holes through the round hole. The second connecting structure 54 between the connecting portion 52 and the housing 10 is set in a similar manner as described above.

[0046] In this embodiment, the scraper portion 51 near the pot opening of the pot body 20 adopts a three-section arc-shaped structure, specifically including a first section, a second section, and a third section connected sequentially. The first section is located inside the pot opening and extends upwards beyond it; the second section is located on the upper surface of the pot opening edge and extends radially along the pot body 20; and the third section is located on the outer side of the pot opening and extends downwards for a certain distance, thus extending past the pot opening for easy connection. Correspondingly, the connecting portion 52 includes a bent first section and a second section, which can be perpendicular to each other. The first section is axially aligned with the pot body 20, and the second section is radially aligned with it. The first section mates with the third section, and the second section mates with the shell 10. In this embodiment, the third section and the second section are respectively provided with the aforementioned multiple through holes axially and radially, while the first section and the shell 10 are only provided with round holes. Of course, the specific arrangement is not limited to the above-described content of this embodiment and can be adjusted as needed.

[0047] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the stirring component 30 has a base 31, and the bottom of the inner side of the pot body 20 has a rotating platform 21. The rotating platform 21 serves as the connection and transfer between the rotatable part of the pot body 20 and the stirring component 30. Traditionally, the base and the rotating platform are directly connected and locked together by bolts and other components. The base is usually quite high, and in order to ensure reliable and effective transmission, multiple bolts are usually required, and they cannot all be placed at the center of rotation. However, this method requires many bolts, resulting in a large number of gaps between the bolts, washers, and other components. This causes food residue, seasonings, water, etc., to get stuck in the gaps, affecting cooking and making cleaning inconvenient. In this embodiment, a non-circular structure 211 is provided between the base 31 and the rotating platform 21. The non-circular structure 211 can play a transmission role. When the rotating platform 21 rotates, the rotating platform 21 can drive the base 31 to rotate synchronously through the non-circular structure 211, thereby realizing the rotation of the stirring component 30. Since the bolt only needs to connect the base 31 and the rotating platform 21, only one bolt is required, and it can be placed at the center of rotation. This reduces the number of gaps, minimizes residue, and lowers the height of the base 31. The specific form of the non-circular structure 211 can be tailored accordingly, for example, as... Figure 5 The design shown is a semi-circular structure, with a semi-circular recess and a semi-circular protrusion on the base 31 and the rotating platform 21 respectively. Transmission is achieved through their mating. This method is relatively simple in structure, easy to manufacture, and low in cost. Alternatively, a polygonal structure can be used, such as... Figure 7 As shown, a square groove and a square protrusion are respectively set at the center of the base 31 and the rotating platform 21. The transmission is achieved by the docking and cooperation of the two. This method is relatively more expensive, but the structure is more stable and more reliable.

[0048] In addition to the methods described above, a cooperating transmission structure can also be provided between the base 31 and the rotating platform 21. Unlike the aforementioned non-circular structure 211, the transmission structure can be circular or other shapes, and it is eccentrically positioned relative to the rotation center of the rotating platform 21. The base 31 and the rotating platform 21 achieve synchronous rotation through the eccentric transmission structure. These two methods can be set individually or simultaneously without affecting each other.

[0049] In this embodiment, the stirring element 30 is also disposed inside the pot body 20, serving to agitate the ingredients and thus achieve the effect of stir-frying. Since both the scraper 50 and the stirring element 30 are inside the pot body 20, to avoid interference between them, the scraper 50 is positioned closer to the inner surface of the pot body 20, while the stirring element 30 is located in the middle region of the pot body 20, with a certain distance between it and the inner surface of the pot body 20, thereby ensuring smooth operation of both the scraper 50 and the stirring element 30.

[0050] like Figure 8 As shown, the stirring component 30 in this embodiment includes a main body 32 and a stirring part 33. A base 31 is provided at the bottom of the main body 32 for connection to the rotating platform 21 to achieve rotation. The upper part of the main body 32 extends upwards, and this part also matches the shape of the inner surface of the pot body 20. That is, the shapes of the scraper 50 and the main body 32 are adapted to the inner surface, and their shapes are basically the same, thus maintaining consistency. The stirring part 33 is connected to the side of the main body 32 facing the inner wall of the pot body 20. The stirring part 33 plays a major role in stirring the food. The stirring part 33 can be set in a sheet shape, extending towards the inner wall of the pot body 20, but not extending into the path of the scraper 50 to avoid interference.

[0051] Traditional mixing components typically consist of a single main body with a single, flat mixing element. While this method effectively agitates ingredients, it can also cause food to accumulate on the sides of the mixing element, resulting in insufficient mixing and hindering thorough blending. This embodiment features multiple main bodies 32, spaced circumferentially along the pot body 20. More specifically, two main bodies 32 are provided, spaced 180° apart. Each main body 32 has a mixing element 33 on its side. This eliminates the need for the pot to rotate 360 ​​degrees for a second stirring step when there is only one mixing element 33. The mixing component 30 in this embodiment can now stir much faster, meeting the demands of cooking requiring rapid mixing. In this embodiment, one of the main body parts 32 has a continuous, integral stirring section 33 along its side, while the other main body part 32 has multiple smaller stirring sections 33 spaced apart along its side. This creates a toothed structure where the solid portion of the stirring section 33 can push some food through, while the spaced portions allow some food to pass through, thus breaking up the food. Alternatively, the stirring section 33 can have a notch, which also serves the same purpose of avoiding food. The number of main body parts 32 can be increased as needed. When there are multiple main body parts 32, the structure of the stirring sections 33 can be identical, or at least two main body parts 32 can have different structures, depending on the specific requirements.

[0052] In this embodiment, the pot body 20 has a non-stick layer. The entire inner wall surface of the pot body 20, the upper surface of the edge of the pot rim, and the outer surface of the edge of the pot rim are all covered with a non-stick layer. Since this embodiment has a flange on the outside of the pot body 20, the upper surface of the edge of the pot rim is also the upper surface of the flange, and the outer surface of the edge of the pot rim is also the outer surface of the flange. Of course, whether or not a non-stick layer needs to be provided at the above locations can be adjusted according to specific circumstances. A non-stick layer can also be provided on other outer surfaces of the pot body 20. The specific material of the non-stick layer can be set as needed. In this embodiment, a nitrided layer is used as the non-stick layer. Nitriding the pot body 20 ensures uniformity, density, smoothness, and no defects. After nitriding, the pot body 20 is not prone to rust, and initially, food is less likely to stick to the pot. Although the coating wears down after a period of use, a long-term oiling process will form an oil film, thus achieving a non-stick effect. Preferably, the thickness of the nitrided layer is greater than 40 μm, allowing it to operate continuously at temperatures above 260°C.

[0053] Optionally, the stirring component 30 and / or the scraper component 50 have flexible parts. In this embodiment, flexible parts are provided on both the stirring component 30 and the scraper component 50. Specifically, the stirring part 33 of the stirring component 30 is made of a flexible material such as rubber, while the left and right sides of the scraper component 50 along the circumference of the pot body 20, which is the main part of the scraper component 50 that achieves the scraping effect, are made of a flexible material to form flexible parts. In this way, the flexible parts on the stirring component 30 can further prevent the food from being crushed by the scraper component 50, and even if it gets stuck, it can be released by deformation. The flexible parts on the scraper component 50 can prevent the inner surface of the pot body 20 from being scratched when it is too tight, thus extending its service life. Of course, flexible parts can also be provided on one of them, and the specific material of the flexible parts can be adjusted as needed.

[0054] It should be noted that "multiple" in the above embodiments refers to at least two.

[0055] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0056] 1. It solves the problem of inconvenient maintenance of existing automatic cooking machines;

[0057] 2. During maintenance, only the scraper needs to be disassembled for maintenance, without disassembling the feeding component, which reduces the difficulty of maintenance and improves maintenance efficiency.

[0058] 3. The seasonings and water falling from the feeding device can be kept away from the scraper, thus avoiding water stains left on the scraper during washing, which could cause oil splattering and injury during subsequent cooking. It also avoids seasoning residue on the scraper, making it easier to clean and solving the problem of difficult cleaning.

[0059] 4. This prevents a large amount of food carried by the mixing components from entering the gap between the mixing components and the scraper, which could cause the food to be crushed or even hinder further rotation.

[0060] 5. Avoid problems such as excessively tight or loose fit between the inner surface of the pot and the scraper due to processing precision issues, and ensure that the scraper can perform its scraping function properly.

[0061] 6. The two-way adjustment can increase the adjustable range of the scraper, avoid the situation where certain problems cannot be avoided by single-direction adjustment, and improve the fit between the scraper and the pot body.

[0062] 7. Only one bolt needs to be installed, and it can be placed at the center of rotation, thereby reducing the number of gaps, minimizing residue, and lowering the base height;

[0063] 8. The stirring section has a toothed structure. The solid part of the stirring section can push some of the ingredients through, while the interstitial part can let some of the ingredients pass through, thereby achieving the effect of breaking up the ingredients.
