The swing motor drives the turntable to rotate and drives the swing frame and the dough receiving chamber to switch between the dough mixing chamber and the baking pan through the cooperation of the swing shaft and the swing groove.

[0019] The food processing equipment of the present invention includes a base, a dough receiving chamber, a dough mixing chamber, a swing assembly, a screw drive assembly, a tray, and a push block. The base is provided with a first working position and a second working position. The dough mixing chamber is installed on the base and is arranged opposite to the first working position. The swing assembly includes a swing frame and a swing drive assembly. The swing frame is rotatably connected to the base. The dough receiving chamber is installed on the swing frame. The swing drive assembly is driven by the swing frame so that the swing drive assembly drives the dough receiving chamber to switch between the first working position and the second working position. The tray is installed on the push block. Both the tray and the push block are driven by the screw drive assembly. The screw drive assembly is used to drive the push block to move along the axial direction of the screw drive assembly and to drive the tray to rise and fall. When the oscillating drive assembly moves the dough receiving chamber directly below the mixing chamber, the tray has both a mixing state and a dough receiving state. In the mixing state, the tray is located inside the mixing chamber, and the screw drive assembly drives the tray to move up and down within the mixing chamber to achieve the effect of mixing and kneading the dough. The push block remains stationary at this time. In the dough receiving state, the screw drive assembly drives the push block to move along the axis of the screw assembly so that the dough in the mixing chamber falls into the dough receiving chamber. At this time, the tray also moves along the axis of the screw assembly under the drive of the push block, but the tray does not move up or down. When the oscillating drive assembly moves the dough receiving chamber above the second working position, the screw drive assembly pushes the push block to move so as to push the dough in the dough receiving chamber to the second working position for further processing. Compared with the prior art, which uses a dough pushing mechanism to push the dough under the mixing chamber all the way to the second working position, the dough in this application only needs to be pushed a certain distance within the dough receiving chamber, thereby greatly reducing the distance the dough needs to be pushed and reducing the possibility of dough sticking.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention proposes a food processing device, comprising:

[0039] The machine base 10 is provided with a first working position and a second working position;

[0040] The machine includes a dough receiving chamber 21 and a dough mixing chamber 22, wherein the dough mixing chamber 22 is installed on the machine base 10 and is disposed opposite to the first working position;

[0041] The swing assembly includes a swing frame 31 and a swing drive assembly. The swing frame 31 is rotatably connected to the base 10. The contact chamber 21 is mounted on the swing frame 31. The swing drive assembly is driven to the swing frame 31 so that the swing drive assembly drives the contact chamber 21 to switch between the first working position and the second working position.

[0042] Screw drive assembly; and

[0043] The pallet 52 and the push block 51 are mounted on the push block 51. Both the pallet 52 and the push block 51 are connected to the screw drive assembly. The screw drive assembly is used to drive the push block 51 to move along the axial direction of the screw drive assembly and to drive the pallet 52 to rise and fall.

[0044] The food processing equipment in this invention includes a base 10, a dough receiving chamber 21, a dough mixing chamber 22, a swing assembly, a screw drive assembly, a tray 52, and a pusher block 51. The base 10 is provided with a first working position and a second working position. The dough mixing chamber 22 is installed on the base 10. The swing assembly includes a swing frame 31 and a swing drive assembly. The swing frame 31 is rotatably connected to the base 10. The dough receiving chamber 21 is installed on the swing frame 31. The swing drive assembly is driven by the swing frame 31 so that the swing drive assembly drives the dough receiving chamber 21 to switch between the first working position and the second working position. The tray 52 is installed on the pusher block 51. Both the tray 52 and the pusher block 51 are driven by the screw drive assembly. The screw drive assembly is used to drive the pusher block 51 to move along the axial direction of the screw drive assembly and to drive the tray 52 to rise and fall. When the oscillating drive assembly moves the dough receiving chamber 21 directly below the mixing chamber 22, the tray 52 has both a mixing state and a dough receiving state. In the mixing state, the tray 52 is located inside the mixing chamber 22, and the screw drive assembly drives the tray 52 to rise and fall within the mixing chamber 22 to achieve the effect of mixing and kneading the dough. The push block 51 remains stationary at this time. In the dough receiving state, the screw drive assembly drives the push block 51 to move along the axis of the screw assembly, so that the dough in the mixing chamber 22 falls into the dough receiving chamber 21. At this time, the tray 52 also moves along the axis of the screw assembly under the drive of the push block 51. The direction of movement is controlled, but the tray 52 does not move up or down at this time; when the swing drive assembly drives the dough receiving chamber 21 to move to the second working position, the screw drive assembly pushes the push block 51 to move, so as to push the dough in the dough receiving chamber 21 to the second working position, and then perform further processing. Compared with the prior art, the dough under the mixing chamber is pushed all the way to the second working position by the dough pushing mechanism, the dough in the present application only needs to be pushed a distance in the dough receiving chamber 21, thereby greatly reducing the distance of dough pushing and reducing the possibility of dough sticking.

[0045] The first working position is located below the mixing chamber 22. When the receiving chamber 21 moves to the first working position, the dough in the mixing chamber 22 falls into the receiving chamber 21. Then, the swing component drives the receiving chamber 21 to swing to the second working position. The second working position can be a baking tray 23, where the dough pushing component pushes the dough onto the baking tray 23 for baking. Alternatively, the second working position can be a receiving plate, where the dough pushing component pushes the dough onto the receiving plate, and then the user makes dumpling wrappers from the mixed dough in the receiving plate.

[0046] It should be noted that even if materials that prevent dough from sticking are selected during the food processing equipment manufacturing process, wear and tear will occur during daily pushing. Once dough sticks to the machine base 10, the machine base 10 will be more prone to dough sticking, creating a vicious cycle. Moreover, it must be thoroughly cleaned each time, otherwise the dough will still easily stick. Furthermore, the machine base 10 involves many structures, making it difficult to replace. In existing technologies, because the mixing chamber rotates during the mixing process, and the mixing chamber generally has a corresponding drive structure, in order to ensure the balance of the equipment's center of gravity, the mixing chamber is generally located in or near the middle area of ​​the equipment. This results in the dough falling from the mixing chamber needing to be pushed a relatively long distance to be transported to the next workstation. In contrast, the technical solution of this invention only requires pushing the dough a short distance onto the receiving chamber 21. This not only greatly reduces the distance the dough needs to be pushed, but also makes the receiving chamber 21 easier to replace than the machine base 10, thereby improving the service life of the food processing equipment and the user experience.

[0047] Reference Figures 2 to 8 Preferably, the screw drive assembly includes a screw motor and a transmission rod. The screw motor is mounted on the base 10. One end of the transmission rod is connected to the output shaft of the screw motor. The push block 51 is rotatably connected to the transmission rod and slidably connected to the contact chamber 21. The transmission rod is provided with a lifting groove and a rotating groove 431. The lifting groove is located on the end face of the transmission rod away from the screw motor and extends from the axis of the transmission rod to the outer peripheral surface. The rotating groove 431 is located on the outer peripheral surface of the transmission rod and is spirally arranged. The contact chamber 21... The pallet 52 is provided with a rotating shaft 211 and a lifting shaft 522. The pallet 52 has a mixing state and a contact state. In the mixing state, the lifting shaft 522 is located in the lifting groove, and the rotating shaft 211 is disengaged from the rotating groove 431. That is, at this time, the screw motor only drives the pallet 52 to move up and down, and the push block 51 does not move. In the contact state, the lifting shaft 522 is disengaged from the lifting groove, and the rotating shaft 211 is located in the rotating groove 431. That is, at this time, the screw motor only drives the push block 51 to move along the axis of the transmission rod, and the pallet 52 does not move up and down.

[0048] Furthermore, when the tray 52 switches from the mixing state to the receiving state, the tray 52 moves to the opening of the mixing chamber 22 under the drive of the screw motor, and the tray 52 is flush with the lower end surface of the mixing chamber 22. At this time, the upper end surface of the push block 51 and the tray 52 is flush with the lower end surface of the mixing chamber 22. Then, the screw motor drives the push block 51 to move along the axis of the transmission rod. At this time, the push block 51 was originally located in the receiving chamber 21. After the screw motor drives the push block 51 to move, the receiving chamber 21 is at least partially empty. Then, when the push block 51 is no longer in contact with the mixing chamber 22, the dough falls completely into the receiving chamber 21 through the opening at the lower end of the mixing chamber.

[0049] The technical solution of the present invention achieves the horizontal movement of the push block 51 and the lifting and lowering of the pallet 52 with only one screw motor and transmission rod, that is, it realizes two modes of movement at the same time. Compared with the prior art, which uses two motion structures to drive the pallet 52 and the push block 51 to lift and move horizontally respectively, the technical solution of the present invention greatly reduces the number of parts used, thereby reducing the space occupied by the drive structure and thus reducing the production and manufacturing cost of the cake maker.

[0050] Furthermore, one of the push block 51 and the dough receiving chamber 21 is provided with a slide rail 212, and the other is provided with a slide groove 512. The push block 51 is slidably connected to the dough receiving chamber 21 through the cooperation of the slide rail 212 and the slide groove 512. The sliding method of the slide rail 212 and the slide groove 512 is stable and reliable, and the structure is simple and easy to install, thereby reducing the production and manufacturing cost of the cake making machine.

[0051] Furthermore, the transmission rod is also provided with a contact groove 433 communicating with the lifting groove. The contact groove 433 is coaxially arranged with the transmission rod, and the diameter of the contact groove 433 is smaller than the diameter of the transmission rod. In the mixing state, the lifting shaft 522 is located in the lifting groove, and the screw motor drives the pallet 52 to rise and fall. In the contact state, the lifting shaft 522 is located in the contact groove 433, and the rotating shaft 211 is located in the rotating groove 431. The screw motor drives the pallet 52 to move axially along the transmission rod. By providing a contact groove 433 communicating with the lifting groove, the lifting shaft 522 is located in the contact groove 433 or the lifting groove in both the mixing and contact states, thereby reducing the possibility of the lifting shaft 522 deviating from the predetermined track during operation and increasing the stability of the pallet 52's operation.

[0052] When the lifting shaft 522 is located in the contact groove 433, the shortest distance between the lifting shaft 522 and the axis of the transmission rod remains unchanged, so the height of the pallet 52 remains unchanged. At this time, the rotating shaft 211 is located in the rotating groove 431, so the screw motor will only drive the push block 51 to move along the axis of the transmission rod, and will not drive the pallet 52 to rise or fall.

[0053] Specifically, the lifting groove includes a first lifting groove 4321 and a second lifting groove 4322. The first lifting groove 4321 is connected to the contact groove 433, and the second lifting groove 4322 is connected to the end of the first lifting groove 4321 away from the contact groove 433. The first lifting groove 4321 extends from the axis of the transmission rod to the outer peripheral surface and is arc-shaped. The second lifting groove 4322 is coaxially arranged with the contact groove 433. When the lifting shaft 522 is located in the second lifting groove 4322, the height of the pallet 52 remains unchanged. When the lifting shaft 522 is located in the first lifting groove 4321, the pallet 52 will move up and down. When the lifting shaft 522 is located in the second lifting groove 4322, the height of the pallet 52 will remain unchanged. Understandably, when the screw motor drives the pallet 52 to lift, the screw motor's precision cannot be set too precisely. That is, it is difficult to make the screw motor stop and reverse immediately after the pallet 52 is raised to the highest point. Therefore, by setting the second lifting groove 4322, a certain buffer and error are given to the lifting shaft 522, thereby reducing the precision of the screw motor and thus reducing the cost of the screw motor.

[0054] Furthermore, the outer circumferential surface of the transmission rod is provided with a first annular groove 434, which extends circumferentially along the transmission rod and communicates with the rotating groove 431. The dough receiving chamber 21 is provided with a rotating shaft 211. In the dough stirring state, the lifting shaft 522 is located in the lifting groove, and the rotating shaft 211 is located in the first annular groove 434. The screw motor drives the pallet 52 to move up and down. When the rotating shaft 211 is located in the first annular groove 434, it is equivalent to the rotating shaft 211 only rotating idly in the first annular groove 434, so it will not drive the push block 51 to move. At this time, the lifting shaft 522 has already rotated into the lifting groove, so the screw motor will only drive the pallet 52 to move up and down, and will not drive the push block 51 to move. By setting the first annular groove 434, the rotation direction of the rotating shaft 211 is limited, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the push block 51 and the pallet 52.

[0055] The outer circumferential surface of the transmission rod is provided with a second annular groove 435. The second annular groove 435 extends along the circumference of the transmission rod and is connected to the rotating groove 431. The dough receiving chamber 21 is provided with a rotating shaft 211. When the push block 51 drives the pallet 52 to move to a position opposite to the mixing chamber 22, the rotating shaft 211 is located in the second annular groove 435.

[0056] Understandably, when the screw motor drives the pusher block 51 to move, it is difficult to stop it at a precise position. To achieve this, more sensors and a more precise motor would be required, which would increase the manufacturing and maintenance costs of the biscuit machine. Since the dough receiving chamber 21 and the pusher block 51 are slidably connected by the slide rail 212 and the slide groove 512, in order to prevent the pusher block 51 from moving excessively and causing the slide rail 212 and the slide groove 512 to disengage, the technical solution of the present invention provides a second annular groove 435. When the rotating shaft 211 is located in the second annular groove 435, the pusher block 51 does not move, thereby preventing the pusher block 51 from disengaging from the slide rail 212 and the slide groove 512 on the dough receiving chamber 21.

[0057] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 9 In this embodiment, the transmission rod includes a transmission section 41, a first telescopic section 42, and a second telescopic section 43. One end of the first telescopic section 42 is fixedly connected to the transmission section 41. The rotating groove 431 is provided on the second telescopic section 43. The push block 51 is rotatably connected to the second telescopic section 43. When the push block 51 moves, the first telescopic section 42 and the second telescopic section 43 slide and extend. The first annular groove 434, the second annular groove 435, and the rotating groove 431 are all provided on the outer peripheral surface of the second telescopic section 43. The lifting groove and the contact groove 433 are both located on the end face of the second telescopic section 43 away from the first telescopic section 42. By setting the first telescopic section 42 and the second telescopic section 43, the space occupied by the push block 51 during its movement is reduced when it is driven by the screw motor to move along the axial direction of the transmission rod, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the cake maker.

[0058] Specifically, the outer peripheral surface of the first telescopic section 42 is provided with a sliding protrusion 421, and the inner peripheral surface of the second telescopic section 43 is provided with a sliding groove 437. Both the sliding protrusion 421 and the sliding groove 437 extend along the length direction of the first telescopic section 42, and the sliding protrusion 421 slidably engages within the sliding groove 437. By spaced out multiple sliding protrusions 421 and sliding grooves 437, the operation of the first telescopic section 42 and the second telescopic section 43 becomes smoother. The first telescopic section 42 can drive the second telescopic section 43 to rotate while also extending and retracting. The structure is simple, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.

[0059] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 10Furthermore, the pallet 52 is provided with a first guide portion, and the push block 51 is provided with a second guide portion. The pallet 52 is raised and lowered through the cooperation of the first guide portion and the second guide portion. By setting the first guide portion and the second guide portion, the stability of the pallet 52 during the raising and lowering process is further increased, preventing the pallet 52 from deviating from the predetermined passage. At the same time, during the process of switching from the dough contact state to the dough mixing state, the pallet 52 must move precisely to the opening at the lower end of the dough mixing chamber 22 so that it can be accurately inserted into the dough mixing chamber 22. Therefore, by setting the first guide portion and the second guide portion, the operation of the pallet 52 is made more precise and stable.

[0060] Specifically, the first guide portion is a guide groove 521, and the second guide portion is a guide protrusion 511, with the guide protrusion 511 confined within the guide groove 521. By providing the guide protrusion 511 and the guide groove 521, the pallet 52 can be raised and lowered in a predetermined direction, allowing the pallet 52 to accurately extend into the mixing chamber 22. Simultaneously, the guide protrusion 511 and the guide groove 521 have simple structures and are easy to manufacture, thereby reducing the production cost of the cake-making machine. Of course, in other embodiments, the first guide portion and the second guide portion can be a first guide rod and a second guide rod, respectively, wherein the second guide rod is hollow, and the first guide rod is inserted into the hollow second guide rod, thereby enabling the pallet 52 to rise and fall in a predetermined direction.

[0061] In this embodiment, the swing drive assembly includes a swing motor and a turntable. The turntable has a swing shaft, and the swing frame 31 has a swing groove. The swing shaft is confined within the swing groove. The output shaft of the swing motor is connected to the turntable. The swing motor drives the turntable to rotate, and through the cooperation of the swing shaft and the swing groove, it drives the swing frame 31 and the dough receiving chamber 21 to switch between the dough mixing chamber 22 and the baking tray. The motor's movement is stable and reliable, and the cost is low, thereby improving the stability of the pancake maker's operation and reducing the production cost of the pancake maker.
