Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food processing devices, in particular to a food processing machine. Background Art

[0002] Existing food processing machines capable of pre-setting pulping are usually provided with an automatic unloading structure, which can store materials and automatically unload materials through liquid flow drive after the machine is turned on, so as to separate materials from water and prevent the materials from being soaked for a long time.

[0003] For example, the patent application number 201610344153.7 discloses an automatic feeding food processing machine. The bottom of the feeding box is provided with an automatic unloading structure which can be opened by the impact of water flow. When the rotation speed of the processing tool increases to a certain level, the water flow drives the unloading plate to rotate, so that the unloading port is connected with the hole of the unloading plate and opened, thereby realizing automatic unloading.

[0004] However, since users generally rinse or soak the materials before putting them into the feeding box of the feeding structure, the surface of the materials put into the feeding box will be wetted. After the feeding plate is opened to discharge the materials, most of the materials will fall through the holes of the feeding plate, but will be blocked by the bottom wall of the feeding box and the position of the boss of the feeding plate. A small amount of materials, such as some rice grains and sesame seeds, will adhere to the inner circumferential wall of the feeding box and remain on the upper surface of the feeding plate and the inner bottom wall of the feeding box, resulting in incomplete feeding and inconvenience in cleaning. Moreover, the rotation of the feeding plate is achieved through the boss of the feeding plate at the axis of the feeding box. Since the feeding assembly is at least partially extended into the cup body in the use state, during the slurry making process of the cup, the feeding assembly is soaked in slurry, causing slurry residue to adhere to the side wall of the feeding box and the connection position of the boss, resulting in a cleaning dead corner, which makes cleaning difficult and incomplete.

[0005] For another example, patent application number 201020110877.3 discloses a soymilk maker, including a material storage chamber, a material discharge port and a material discharge plate snapped into the material discharge port, wherein the actuator follows the movement of the liquid flow and drives the material discharge plate to open relative to the chamber on a horizontal or vertical plane.

[0006] In this scheme, since the storage chamber is extended into the cup body when in use, the unloading assembly will still be soaked in slurry during the slurry making process of the cup, causing slurry residue to remain on the side wall of the storage chamber and the shaft connection position of the unloading plate, forming a cleaning dead corner, which cannot be thoroughly cleaned. Even if the user uses a brush tool, due to the small gap at the shaft, it is still impossible to achieve thorough cleaning. After long-term use, the slurry residue hides in the shaft position and causes odor and hygiene problems; moreover, the storage chamber also has the problem of material adhering to the bottom wall and side wall of the storage chamber. Due to the inner diameter of the storage chamber itself and the limited opening angle of the unloading plate, the storage chamber cannot be thoroughly cleaned. In addition, small particles of material adhering to the bottom wall may be involved in the shaft connection of the unloading plate, and the material jamming problem occurs at the shaft connection position of the unloading plate. The material is difficult to be cleaned and will interfere with the rotation of the unloading plate, resulting in the storage bin opening and closing not being smooth. In addition, during the unloading process, the unloading plate can only open the unloading port in one direction, which limits the scope of use of the automatic unloading structure. Because for existing food processing machines, the rotation direction of the crushing blade is determined by the motor, and the rotation direction of the existing motor-driven crushing blades on the market is not unique. The crushing blades of some food processing machines rotate clockwise, while some rotate counterclockwise. This will inevitably result in the automatic unloading structure disclosed in the above patent scheme being only applicable to one of them and cannot be universally applicable to all food processing machines. Summary of the invention

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a food processing machine which optimizes the connection structure of a feeding assembly to achieve rapid feeding while solving the problem in the prior art that the feeding assembly is soaked in slurry, causing slurry residue to adhere to the connection position of the feeding assembly, forming a cleaning dead angle, making cleaning of the feeding assembly difficult and incomplete.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a food processing machine, including a pulping chamber with a built-in stirring device and a feeding assembly installed in the pulping chamber, the feeding assembly including a barrel with a feeding port at the bottom, a switch component for closing the feeding port, and a rotating shaft structure for connecting the switch component and the barrel, the rotating shaft structure is located at the edge of the feeding port and is arranged on the peripheral wall of the barrel along the axial direction of the barrel, a driving plate driven by a rotating liquid flow is provided at the bottom of the switch component, the driving plate drives the switch component to rotate horizontally relative to the barrel around the rotating shaft structure, so that the switch component opens the feeding port to discharge materials, and the switch component is detachable relative to the barrel.

[0009] The food processor provided by the present invention arranges the rotating shaft structure at the edge of the discharge port and on the peripheral wall of the barrel along the axial direction of the barrel. When the stirring device drives the liquid to rotate, the rotating liquid flow pushes the driving plate to drive the switch member to rotate around the rotating shaft structure, so that the switch member opens the discharge port of the barrel. The switch member can be misaligned with the discharge port to have a larger discharge opening, and the discharge is cleaner and more thorough. The rotating shaft structure is arranged on the peripheral wall of the barrel along the axial direction of the barrel, and the switch member opens the discharge port clockwise or counterclockwise around the rotating shaft structure, thereby improving the versatility of the discharge assembly, and smoothing the liquid flow during the opening of the switch member to prevent liquid splashing, which is conducive to full contact between the material and the stirring device and improving the crushing effect. Compared with the traditional solution of setting the connection structure at the axis of the barrel, the blocking of the material by the connection structure during the unloading process can be reduced, and rapid unloading can be achieved. Since the shaft structure is arranged along the axis of the barrel, the material falls along the extension direction of the shaft structure, which can reduce the probability of small particles being involved in the shaft structure, reduce the trouble of subsequent cleaning, prevent material jamming, ensure the smooth opening and closing of the switch, and make cleaning easy. By setting the switch relative to the barrel detachable, the user can remove the switch and wash the material or pulp residue adhering to the switch and the shaft structure separately. Due to the removal of the switch, the connection between the switch and the barrel is separated and disassembled, and the connection dead corner is better exposed to achieve thorough cleaning. Therefore, the connection is cleaned more thoroughly, and the pulp residue residue is prevented from remaining and causing odor, etc., which is safe and hygienic to use. At the same time, since the switch is removed from the barrel, there is no obstruction to the unloading port, which is more conducive to the user to thoroughly clean the edge of the unloading port of the barrel, making cleaning easier and cleaner.

After the user separates the shaft groove and the rotating shaft, the slurry adhering to the inner wall of the shaft groove can be directly washed off by directly flushing the shaft groove, and the slurry residue on the surface of the rotating shaft can also be directly washed off, and the cleaning is cleaner. Since the switch part rotates around the rotating shaft structure to open the feeding port, the switch part can open the lower port by rotating clockwise with the liquid flow, and can also open the lower port by rotating counterclockwise with the liquid flow. The feeding assembly has better versatility and can be applied to food processing machines with different steering motors.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present invention, a detailed description is given below in an exemplary manner in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0043] It should be noted that many specific details are set forth in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0044] Embodiment 1

[0045] like Figure 1-3As shown, this embodiment provides a food processing machine, including a pulping chamber 10 with a built-in stirring device 11 and a feeding assembly 20 installed in the pulping chamber 10, the feeding assembly 20 includes a barrel 21 with a feeding port 211 at the bottom, a switch member 22 for closing the feeding port, and a rotating shaft structure 23 for connecting the switch member 22 and the barrel 21, the rotating shaft structure 23 is located at the edge of the feeding port and is arranged on the peripheral wall of the barrel 21 along the axial direction of the barrel 21, a driving plate 24 driven by a rotating liquid flow is provided at the bottom of the switch member 22, the driving plate 24 drives the switch member 22 to rotate horizontally relative to the barrel 21 around the rotating shaft structure 23, so that the switch member 22 opens the feeding port 211 to discharge materials, and the switch member 22 is detachable relative to the barrel.

[0046] The food processor provided by the present invention arranges the rotating shaft structure on the peripheral wall of the barrel 21 along the axial direction of the barrel 21. When the stirring device drives the liquid to rotate, the rotating liquid flow pushes the driving plate 24 to drive the switch member 22 to rotate around the rotating shaft structure, so that the switch member 22 opens the discharge port 211 of the barrel 21. The switch member 22 can be misaligned with the discharge port 211 to have a larger discharge opening, and the discharge is cleaner and more thorough. The rotating shaft structure is arranged on the peripheral wall of the barrel 21 along the axial direction of the barrel 21. The switch member 22 opens the discharge port 211 clockwise or counterclockwise around the rotating shaft structure, thereby improving the versatility of the discharge assembly, and smoothing the liquid flow during the opening of the switch member 22 to prevent liquid splashing, which is conducive to full contact between the material and the stirring device and improves the crushing effect. Compared with the traditional solution of setting the connection structure at the axis of the barrel 21, the blocking of the material by the connection structure during the material unloading process can be reduced, and rapid material unloading can be achieved. Since the shaft structure is arranged along the axis of the barrel 21, the material falls along the extension direction of the shaft structure, which can reduce the probability of small particles being involved in the shaft structure, reduce the trouble of subsequent cleaning, prevent material jamming, ensure the smooth opening and closing of the switch 22, and make cleaning easy. By making the switch 22 detachable relative to the barrel 21, the user can remove the switch 22 and wash the material or pulp residue adhered to the switch 22 and the shaft structure separately. Due to the removal of the switch 22, the connection between the switch 22 and the barrel 21 is separated and disassembled, and the connection dead corner is better exposed to achieve thorough cleaning. Therefore, the connection is cleaned more thoroughly, and the pulp residue residue is prevented from remaining and causing odor, etc., which is safe and hygienic to use. At the same time, since the switch member 22 is removed from the barrel 21, there is no obstruction to the discharge port 211, which is more conducive to the user to thoroughly clean the edge of the discharge port 211 of the barrel 21, and the cleaning is easier and cleaner.

[0047] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the rotating shaft structure 23 includes an axis groove 231 fixedly provided on the peripheral wall of the barrel and a rotating shaft 232 fixedly provided on the switch member 22, the rotating shaft 232 is detachably installed in the axis groove 231, and the rotating shaft 232 is located and rotated in the axis groove 231. Specifically, the axis groove 231 is provided with a first opening 233 open to the side of the barrel, and the rotating shaft 232 is transversely inserted into the axis groove 231 from the first opening 233.

[0048] By setting a rotating shaft 232 on the switch member 22, the rotating shaft 232 installs the switch member 22 in the shaft groove 231 of the peripheral wall of the barrel 21. At the same time, the user can remove the rotating shaft 232 from the shaft groove 231 to realize the disassembly of the switch member 22, so that the disassembly of the switch member 22 is flexible, and it is more convenient for the user to thoroughly clean the feeding assembly. After the user separates the shaft groove and the rotating shaft, the slurry adhering to the inner wall of the shaft groove can be directly washed off by directly flushing the shaft groove, and the slurry residue on the surface of the rotating shaft can also be directly washed off, and the cleaning is cleaner. Since the switch member 22 rotates around the rotating shaft structure to open the feeding port 211, the switch member 22 can open the lower port by rotating clockwise with the liquid flow, and can also open the lower port by rotating counterclockwise with the liquid flow. The universality of the feeding assembly is better and can be applied to food processing machines with different steering motors. In this embodiment, the drive plate 24 is integrally connected to the bottom of the switch member 22.

[0049] In this embodiment, a protrusion 25 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the barrel 21, and the shaft groove 231 is located in the protrusion 25, and the shaft structure 23 also includes a positioning pin 26. After the shaft 232 is installed in the shaft groove 231, the positioning pin 26 is inserted into the shaft 232 from the end of the protrusion 25 to position the shaft 232 on the protrusion 25. The positioning pin 26 realizes radial and axial limitation between the shaft 232 and the shaft groove 231 to prevent the shaft from falling out of the shaft groove in the installed state. It can be understood that, in fact, the shaft groove can also be provided on the outer peripheral wall.

[0050] The shaft groove 231 is arranged on the inner wall or the outer wall of the barrel 21, which can realize the reliable installation and flexible disassembly and cleaning of the switch member 22. If the shaft groove 231 is arranged on the outer wall, it can also prevent the shaft groove 231 from getting stuck, so that the switch member 22 can be opened and closed smoothly. If the shaft groove 231 is arranged on the inner wall, the shaft structure can be hidden.

[0051] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the bottom end of the barrel 21 is open to form a material discharge port 211, and the switch member 22 is a tray for supporting materials. The switch member 22 rotates 360° around the rotating shaft structure.

[0052] By opening the lower end of the barrel 21 to form a discharge port 211, the barrel 21 has no bottom wall and therefore will not block the falling of the material. When the switch 22 opens the discharge port 211, the discharge opening is large, and rapid discharge of the material is achieved. In addition, since the bottom end of the barrel 21 is open, when cleaning the discharge assembly, the user can remove the switch 22 for cleaning, and at the same time, thoroughly clean the bottom of the inner wall of the barrel 21 through the open discharge port 211, and clean the upper part of the inner wall of the barrel 21 from the top entrance of the barrel 21, so as to achieve all-round and dead-angle cleaning of the barrel 21, clean up the residual material in the barrel 21, and make it clean and hygienic for the next use. The switch 22 rotates 360° around the rotating shaft structure, and rotates periodically to prevent liquid splashing, which is conducive to full contact between the material and the stirring device, and improves the crushing effect. And it can be completely dislocated from the discharge port 211 and completely discharge the material, the discharge speed is fast, and the discharge assembly has good versatility, which can be applied to food processors with different steering motors.

[0053] It should be noted that the method of forming the feed opening is not limited to the one in this embodiment. In another embodiment, the barrel 21 is provided with a bottom wall, and a notch is provided on the bottom wall to form the feed opening 211. The position of the switch element corresponds to the feed opening 211 to support the material together with the bottom wall of the barrel 21.

[0054] Embodiment 2

[0055] like Figure 4-7 As shown, the structure of the unloading component of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, and the difference lies in the installation method of the rotating shaft. In this embodiment, a protrusion 25 is axially provided on the inner side of the peripheral wall of the barrel 21, and the shaft groove is provided in the protrusion 25. The shaft groove 231 is provided at the bottom end of the protrusion 25 and has a second opening 234 open toward the bottom end of the barrel, and the rotating shaft 232 is inserted into the shaft groove 231 from the second opening 234.

[0056] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, an axial limiting structure is provided between the shaft groove 231 and the rotating shaft 232. Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating shaft 232 is integrally formed on the upper surface of the switch member 22, and a recessed portion 2321 is provided in the middle of the rotating shaft 232, and a protruding portion 2311 corresponding to the recessed portion of the rotating shaft 232 is provided in the shaft groove 231. After the rotating shaft 232 is inserted into the shaft groove 231 through the second opening, the protruding portion 2311 and the recessed portion 2321 engage with each other to form an axial limiting structure between the rotating shaft 232 and the shaft groove 231, so that the rotating shaft 232 is not easy to fall out of the shaft groove 231.

[0057] Whether the rotating shaft 232 is inserted into the shaft groove 231 from the first opening 233 or inserted from the second opening 234, it is possible to facilitate the overall disassembly and cleaning of the blanking assembly while ensuring the stable connection between the switch member 22 and the barrel 21, and the use is clean and hygienic. Moreover, the method of inserting the rotating shaft 232 into the shaft groove 231 laterally can also simplify the structure of the barrel 21, and facilitate assembly and disassembly. By setting an axial limit structure between the shaft groove 231 and the rotating shaft 232, the rotating shaft 232 can be prevented from detaching from the shaft groove 231, ensuring the reliable installation of the switch member and realizing smooth switching of the opening and closing of the blanking port. It can be understood that the first opening is the notch of the shaft groove, and the shaft groove is opened through the first opening, which makes cleaning cleaner. By setting the first opening and the second opening, the shaft groove can be flushed in different directions, and the cleaning is cleaner.

[0058] In addition, different from the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the driving plate 24 is detachable relative to the switch member 22 .

[0059] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 7 The food processor comprises a cup body 101 and a cup cover 102 disposed on the cup body. The cup cover 102 and the cup body 101 enclose a pulping chamber 10. The cup cover 102 is provided with an installation opening 103. The barrel 21 is detachably installed in the installation opening 103 from the top of the cup cover. After the barrel 21 is installed in the installation opening 103, the switch member 22 is installed in the barrel 21 from the bottom of the cup cover 102.

[0060] Specifically, Figure 7 As shown, a buckle position 104 is provided on the inner wall of the installation opening 103 , and a turn buckle 105 is provided on the outer wall of the barrel 21 . After the barrel 21 is installed in place, it is rotated so that the buckle position 104 and the turn buckle are engaged, thereby realizing axial limitation of the barrel 21 and the cup cover 102 .

[0061] Specifically, Figure 7 As shown, a positioning piece 221 is provided at the bottom of the switch member 22, and a positioning hole 222 is provided on the positioning piece 221. A limiting hole 242 corresponding to the positioning hole 222 is provided on the driving plate 24. By stacking and aligning the area of ​​the driving plate 24 provided with the limiting hole 242 and the positioning piece 221, the latch passes through the limiting hole 242 and the positioning hole 222 to realize the detachability of the driving plate 24 and the switch member. It can be understood that an operating portion convenient for user operation is provided at one end of the latch. When disassembly and assembly is required, the user only needs to pinch the operating portion to unplug the latch or insert the latch to realize the disassembly and assembly of the driving plate and the switch member. Of course, it can be understood that the driving plate 24 and the switch member can be detachably connected by other means such as snaps.

[0062] By making the drive plate 24 detachable relative to the switch member 22, the assembly of the feeder assembly on the cup cover is flexible and convenient, and the size of the drive plate 24 is not limited by the size of the cup cover installation opening, and the area of ​​cooperation with the liquid flow can be increased to improve the driving force and realize smooth driving of the switch member 22. By making the barrel 21 detachable with the cup cover, the independent assembly of each independent component is realized, the assembly is flexible, and the assembly efficiency is high. And the barrel 21 can be disassembled and cleaned relative to the cup cover, and the cleaning is more convenient and thorough.

[0063] In this embodiment, the top of the barrel 21 is opened to form a feed port, and a blocking cover 27 is hinged on the barrel 21 to block the feed port. The bottom of the barrel 21 is opened to form a discharge port 211, and the switch member 22 is a tray for supporting materials. The switch member 22 rotates 360° around the rotating shaft structure.

[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, a first magnet 31 is installed on the edge of the tray on the side opposite to the rotating shaft structure, and a second magnet 32 ​​opposite to the first magnet 31 is provided on the peripheral wall of the barrel 21. The first magnet 31 and the second magnet 32 ​​attract each other so that the switch 22 assists in closing at the lower port of the barrel 21.

[0065] In this embodiment, the driving plate 24 is arranged below the rotating shaft structure, and the driving plate 24 has a material distribution portion 241 extending to the outside of the tray. On the one hand, the material distribution portion increases the area of ​​the baffle plate, so that the rotating liquid flow can more easily push the driving plate 24 to move. On the other hand, when the driving plate 24 is rotating, the material distribution portion 241 can disperse the material falling in the barrel 21, so that the material is not easy to accumulate in the crushing chamber.

[0066] Embodiment 3

[0067] The structure of the blanking assembly of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, except for the structure of the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft structure of this embodiment is detachably connected to the switch member 22.

[0068] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the rotating shaft structure includes a pin shaft 28, an axial hole 223 fixedly arranged on the switch member 22, and a mounting portion 212 protruding from the peripheral wall of the barrel 21, the mounting portion 212 is provided with a mounting hole 213, and the pin shaft 28 passes through the axial hole 223 and is screwed into the mounting hole 213.

[0069] Specifically, Figure 8 As shown, an external thread is provided on the outer periphery of the pin shaft 28, and an internal thread is provided in the mounting hole 213 to realize the screwing of the pin shaft 28 and the mounting hole 213. Of course, in another embodiment, a buckle is provided on the outer periphery of the pin shaft 28, and a buckle position for screwing the opening is provided on the inner wall of the mounting hole 213.

[0070] It is understandable that the pin shaft 28 realizes axial limitation of the switch member 22 . For example, a boss 281 with an enlarged outer diameter is provided at the bottom end of the pin shaft 28 to support the switch member 22 .

[0071] It should also be noted that, in order to facilitate the user to disassemble and install during use, a protruding operating portion, such as an operating lever, is provided on the outer periphery of the pin shaft 28, so that the user can manually rotate the pin shaft for disassembly and assembly. Therefore, the above-mentioned detachable installation of the pin shaft and the mounting hole is different from the assembly of the blanking component after leaving the factory, and does not require the help of tools.

[0072] It is understandable that the drive plate 24 and the switch member 22 in this embodiment can be arranged to be detachably connected, and this can be achieved by a pin. For example, the drive plate 24 is fixedly provided with a horizontally extending connecting plate, and the pin passes through the connecting plate and the switch member 22 in sequence and is fixed to the mounting portion, thereby simplifying the structure.

[0073] Embodiment 4

[0074] The structure of the blanking assembly of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, and the difference lies in the structure of the rotating shaft. This embodiment is a replacement embodiment of the third embodiment.

The mounting portion is provided with a mounting hole, and the pin passes through the axial hole and the mounting hole in sequence and is fixed to the fixing member. An external thread is arranged on the outer periphery of the pin, and the fixing member adopts an annular structure with an internal thread to realize the locking of the pin and the fixing member. Of course, the external thread and the internal thread can be replaced by a buckle and a buckle screwed with the buckle.

[0076] It should also be noted that, in the present embodiment, operating parts for manual operation by the user are respectively provided on the fixing member and the pin shaft, so as to realize flexible disassembly and assembly of the blanking assembly during use.
