Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a food crusher, and particularly to a clean and easy-to-clean food crusher and its usage method. Background Art

[0002] A food crusher is a processing device that crushes food by means of a high-speed rotating blade, and can be widely used for the crushing of ingredients such as grains, nuts, fruits, and vegetables to improve the taste of food and facilitate food digestion and nutrient absorption. In the prior art, there are various types of crushers, such as wall breakers and cooking machines, for food crushing, and these crushers meet the living needs of people in terms of food crushing effect.

[0003] However, for existing food crushers, such as wall breakers, the blade is located at the bottom of the cup body, and there are structural dead corners between the blade and the cup body, which are not easy to clean. Food residues are likely to accumulate and breed mold after long-term use. To address these problems, self-cleaning crushers have been developed, that is, clean water is introduced into the cup body, and the high-speed rotation of the blade or the ultrasonic generating device generates ultrasonic waves to achieve the purpose of cleaning. However, this method still cannot thoroughly clean, and the sealing material between the blade shaft and the cup body base will cause wear and aging under the action of high-speed friction, thereby releasing microparticles to contaminate food. For another common type of handheld cooking machine, although its blade is inserted into the cup body from the top of the cup body and is detachable, some models have a supporting structure at the bottom of the cup body, which will also result in structural dead corners, and there is a lack of isolation structure at the top of its cup body, and external foreign matters (especially microparticles generated by high-speed friction between the shaft and the frame) are easily introduced into the cup body to contaminate food.

[0004] In summary, the currently known technical solutions for food crushers do not fundamentally avoid the structural dead corners in the internal space where the crusher contacts food and the use of sealing materials, nor achieve the isolation of the internal and external spaces of the crusher. Therefore, the problems of being not easy to clean and food being easily contaminated still exist. Although Patent 202110972267.7 realizes the isolation of the internal and external spaces and is easy to clean, its structure is very complex, the usage process is cumbersome, and its safety is not high. With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, people pay more and more attention to food safety issues. Therefore, solving the problems of existing food crushers having structural dead corners, being not easy to clean, and food being easily contaminated has important practical significance for ensuring food safety and improving people's quality of life.
