[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 10 As shown, a food cooking machine comprises: a connecting platform 10; a bowl 100, wherein a cooking chamber 101 is arranged in the bowl 100; a knife shaft 30, wherein the knife shaft 30 is rotatably arranged relative to the connecting platform 10 and is axially movable relative to the connecting platform 10 along the knife shaft 30, wherein the knife shaft 30 at least partially extends into the cooking chamber 101; a knife 310, wherein the knife 310 is connected to the knife shaft 30; a sleeve 20, wherein the sleeve 20 is rotatably arranged relative to the connecting platform 10; and wherein a sleeve 20 is provided with a mounting hole. An installation space 200, wherein a first threaded structure 210 is disposed in the installation space 200, and the knife shaft 30 is provided with a second threaded structure 40, and the first threaded structure 210 is threadedly connected to the second threaded structure 40; a drive module 60, wherein the drive module 60 is transmission-connected to the knife shaft 30 to drive the knife shaft 30 to rotate relative to the connecting platform 10; and a differential module 50, wherein the differential module 50 is used to apply a restraining force to the sleeve 20 so that there is a speed difference between the rotational speed of the sleeve 20 and the rotational speed of the knife shaft 30.

[0037] The use principle of the food processor is as follows: the food material to be processed is placed in the cooking chamber 101 of the bowl 100, and the bowl 100 is assembled and fixed with the food processor so that the bowl 100 does not rotate relative to the connecting platform 10. The drive module 60 is started. Under the action of the drive module 60, the knife shaft 30 is driven to rotate, so as to drive the cutter 310 to perform rotary cutting. During the start-up process of the drive module 60, whether the cutter shaft 30 moves depends on the differential module 50. When the sleeve is not affected by the restraining force, the sleeve and the cutter shaft rotate synchronously, and there is no speed difference between the two. At this time, the cutter shaft will not move relative to the sleeve. In this mode, the cutter can be kept in the same position for rotary cutting. When the differential module applies a restraining force to the sleeve, there is a speed difference between the two. At this time, under the action of the first thread structure and the second thread structure, the cutter shaft rotates while moving relative to the sleeve along the axial direction of the cutter shaft. The greater the speed difference between the two, the faster the movement speed of the cutter shaft relative to the sleeve. Intelligent speed change is realized according to different rotary cutting requirements to achieve full rotary cutting of food materials.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the connection platform 10 is provided with a fixed bracket 110 , one end of the sleeve 20 is rotatably connected to the connection platform 10 , and the other end of the sleeve 20 is rotatably connected to the fixed bracket 110 .

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the connecting platform 10 is rotatably provided with a sleeve 300, and the knife shaft 30 is axially movable and arranged in the sleeve 300; the sleeve 300 and the knife shaft 30 are synchronously rotated. The sleeve 300 is a spline sleeve, and the knife shaft 30 is a spline shaft. The spline sleeve and the spline shaft are plugged and matched to constrain the two to rotate synchronously and move relative to each other. Figure 3 As shown, the sleeve 300 is installed on the connection platform 10 using a plurality of bearings 120 according to actual assembly requirements.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bowl 100 is fixed to the connection platform 10 in a detachable connection manner. The detachable connection structure can be connected by an existing detachable connection structure such as a screw-on structure, a threaded structure or a magnetic structure. The bowl 100 is not limited to being installed on the connection platform 10. When in use, the bowl 100 can be fixed to any part of the food processor, and only needs to be fixed relative to the connection platform 10.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the bowl 100 is a cup body having a cooking cavity 101 and an opening at the upper end. When in use, the connecting platform 10 serves as a cup cover, and after being connected to the bowl 100, the bowl 100 can be sealed.

[0042] In the present invention, the knife shaft 30 is arranged to move along the axial direction of the knife shaft 30 relative to the connecting platform 10. Figure 2 As shown, the axial direction of the knife shaft 30 is the up and down direction, that is, the knife shaft is arranged to move up and down relative to the connecting platform 10.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first thread structure 210 is a thread groove arranged in the installation space 200. A first embodiment of the second thread structure 40: the second thread structure 40 includes a connecting nut 410 arranged on the knife shaft 30, and the connecting nut 410 is threadedly connected with the thread groove. The connecting nut 410 cooperates with the thread groove to realize that when the knife shaft 30 drives the connecting nut 410 to rotate, when there is a rotation speed difference between the knife shaft 30 and the sleeve 20, that is, the connecting nut 410 rotates and moves relative to the sleeve 20, so as to drive the knife shaft 30 to move relative to the sleeve 20.

[0044] The second embodiment of the second thread structure 40: The second thread structure 40 is a thread provided on the cutter shaft 30, and the thread is threadedly connected to the thread groove in the installation space 200. Compared with the first embodiment of the second thread structure 40, this embodiment directly processes the thread on the cutter shaft 30, and the manufacturing cost is lower.

[0045] Further, the blade shaft 30 is detachably connected to the connecting nut 410. The function of the detachable connection is that the blade shaft 30 can be removed from the sleeve 20 during operation or later maintenance and cleaning.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the first embodiment of the connection between the blade shaft 30 and the connecting nut 410: the connecting nut 410 is provided with a coupling space 400, the blade shaft 30 is provided with a coupling connection part 320, and the coupling connection part 320 is movably plugged into the coupling space 400; the connecting nut 410 is provided with a locking structure 401 for constraining the coupling connection part 320 to remain in the coupling space 400. The locking structure 401 plays a role of locking and preventing separation, constraining the connecting nut 410 and the blade shaft 30 to remain together.

[0047] Furthermore, the coupling space 400 is a key slot, and the coupling connection portion 320 is a key shaft. The plug-in fit between the key slot and the key shaft can constrain the two to rotate synchronously with each other.

[0048] Embodiment 2 of the connection between the blade shaft 30 and the connecting nut 410: The blade shaft 30 and the connecting nut 410 are connected by bolts.

[0049] Embodiment 3 of the connection between the blade shaft 30 and the connecting nut 410: The blade shaft 30 and the connecting nut 410 are connected by a magnetic attraction structure.

[0050] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first embodiment of the locking structure 401: the locking structure 401 includes a locking groove 330 provided in the coupling connection portion 320, the connecting nut 410 is provided with a channel 420 interconnected with the locking groove 330, and a locking member 430 that can be embedded in the locking groove 330 is movably provided in the channel 420; a retainer 440 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting nut 410, and the retainer 440 is movably provided relative to the connecting nut 410, and the retainer 440 is provided with a retaining rib 450. In this embodiment, when the retainer 440 is located in the locking position, the retaining rib 450 abuts against the locking member 430, which can constrain the locking member 430 to remain in the locking groove 330, thereby constraining the knife shaft 30 and the connecting nut 410 to be connected to each other. When separating the knife shaft 30 and the connecting nut 410, the retainer 440 is driven to move relative to the connecting nut 410, so that the retainer 440 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position. In this state, the locking member 430 has space to move outward, that is, the locking member 430 has space to disengage from the locking groove 330. At this time, by driving the knife shaft 30 to move in a direction away from the connecting nut 410, the locking member 430 can be squeezed to disengage the locking groove 330. At the same time, the knife shaft 30 drives the coupling connection part 320 to disengage from the coupling space 400, and the disassembly is completed.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the locking member 430 is a spherical structure, and the cross section of the locking groove 330 is an arc surface. The arc surface cooperates with the spherical locking member 430, and the two can realize that when the knife shaft 30 moves in a direction away from the connecting nut 410, the locking groove 330 can better squeeze the locking member 430, so that the locking member 430 moves in a direction away from the locking groove 330.

[0052] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the locking structure 401 also includes a first elastic element 460, which is used to apply a force to the retainer 440 to keep the retainer 440 in the locked position so that the retaining rib 450 abuts against the locking member 430. The first elastic element 460 is a spring. When unlocking, the retainer 440 needs to be driven by an external force to move from top to bottom to the unlocking position. When there is no external force driving the retainer 440, the first elastic element 460 drives the retainer 440 to reset and move to the locked position.

[0053] like Figure 3As shown, the connection nut 410 is provided with a limit spring 470, and the function of the limit spring 470 is to abut against the retainer 440 to prevent the retainer 440 from being separated from the connection nut 410 due to the force of the first elastic element 460. Further, the retainer 440 is an annular structure. When the retainer 440 is in the locked position, the upper surface of the retainer 440 abuts against the limit spring 470. When unlocking, the retainer 440 needs to move from top to bottom to the unlocking position.

[0054] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sleeve 20 is movably provided with an unlocking trigger member 480, and the unlocking trigger member 480 is provided with an unlocking trigger portion 481, and the unlocking trigger portion 481 can abut against the retainer 440 to push the retainer 440 to move from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, the unlocking trigger member 480 is connected to the sleeve 20 by a third elastic element 490, and the third elastic element 490 keeps the unlocking trigger member 480 in the untriggered position. Figure 4 When the retainer 440 needs to be driven to move from the locked position to the unlocked position, the unlocking trigger 480 is manually pressed to move the unlocking trigger 480 relative to the sleeve 20 to push the retainer 440 to move. During this process, the third elastic element 490 is compressed and stores force. When the unlocking trigger 480 is released, the third elastic element 490 releases the stored force to drive the unlocking trigger 480 to reset.

[0056] like Figure 1 and Fig.10 As shown, the first embodiment of the differential module 50 includes a friction resistance element 510 and a driving member 500; the friction resistance element 510 is arranged to rotate or move relative to the connecting platform 10, and when the friction resistance element 510 rotates or moves relative to the connecting platform 10, it gradually fits the sleeve 20 or gradually moves away from the sleeve 20; the driving member 500 drives the friction resistance element 510 to rotate or move relative to the connecting platform 10. In this embodiment, the restraining force of the sleeve 20 is the friction force of the friction resistance element 510 on it. When the friction force is greater, the restraining force on the sleeve 20 is greater. When the restraining force on the sleeve 20 is greater, the rotation speed of the sleeve 20 is slower, and the greater the speed difference between the two, the faster the movement speed of the knife shaft relative to the sleeve. In this embodiment, the friction resistance element 510 and the driving member 500 can be set on the connecting platform 10 or at other positions of the food processor, and can be set according to needs.

[0057] Furthermore, in the embodiment where the friction resistance element 510 is rotatably arranged relative to the connecting platform 10, the friction resistance element 510 rotates around the rotating shaft 520. The friction resistance element 510 is a semicircular structure, which can make the friction resistance element 510 fit better with the sleeve 20.

[0058] Further, in the embodiment in which the friction resistance element 510 is rotatably arranged relative to the connection platform 10, the driving member 500 includes a rotating member 530, the rotating member 530 is hinged with a connecting rod 540, and the other end of the connecting rod 540 is hinged with the friction resistance element 510. In this embodiment, as the rotating member 530 rotates, it drives the friction resistance element 510 to rotate around the rotating shaft 520 through the connecting rod 540, so that the friction resistance element 510 gradually fits the sleeve 20 or gradually moves away from the sleeve 20, thereby changing the friction force of the friction resistance element 510 on the sleeve 20. In this embodiment, the rotating member 530 can be a damping knob or other existing rotating members.

[0059] Furthermore, in the embodiment where the friction resistance element 510 is rotatably arranged relative to the connection platform 10, the driving member 500 may be a motor, and the motor drives the friction resistance element 510 to rotate around the rotating shaft 520. The transmission of the two may adopt a gear transmission scheme, wherein a first gear coaxial with the rotating shaft 520 is arranged on the friction resistance element 510, and the motor shaft of the motor is connected to the second gear. The first gear meshes with the second gear to realize gear transmission.

[0060] An embodiment of a friction resistance element 510 that is movable relative to the connecting platform 10; the friction resistance element 510 is movable relative to the connecting platform 10 along a straight line, the driving member 500 adopts a linear motor, the telescopic shaft of the linear motor is fixedly connected to the friction resistance element 510, and the linear motor drives the friction resistance element 510 to move along a straight line, so that the friction resistance element 510 gradually fits the sleeve 20 or gradually moves away from the sleeve 20.

[0061] Embodiment 2 of the differential module 50: The differential module 50 uses an existing hysteresis brake, and the rotating shaft of the hysteresis brake is connected to the sleeve 20. The hysteresis brake uses the hysteresis principle to generate a certain torque by controlling the input excitation current. It is a torque control component using the hysteresis principle. It can generate torque according to the control input excitation current to control the rotation speed of the rotating shaft of the hysteresis brake, thereby controlling the rotation speed of the sleeve 20.

[0062] like Fig. 9As shown, the differential module 50 includes a stator pole 501 fixedly arranged in the food processor, a rotor 502 is rotatably arranged in the stator pole 501, and a coil is arranged in the stator pole 501. The sleeve 20 is provided with a connecting portion 503 fixedly connected to the rotor 502. The coil is energized, and the input excitation current is controlled to generate torque to control the rotation speed of the rotor 502, thereby controlling the rotation speed of the sleeve 20.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, the driving module 60 includes a motor 610 , a motor shaft 620 of the motor 610 is connected to a driving gear 630 , the knife shaft 30 is transmission-connected to a driven gear 640 , and the driving gear 630 is transmission-connected to the driven gear 640 .

[0064] Furthermore, the driven gear 640 is fixedly connected to the shaft sleeve 300 , the driving gear 630 drives the driven gear 640 to rotate, the driven gear 640 drives the shaft sleeve 300 to rotate, and the shaft sleeve 300 drives the knife shaft 30 to rotate.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, the connecting platform 10 is provided with a sensing module 70 for sensing the position of the knife shaft 30; the knife shaft 30 moves between a first position and a second position along its axial direction relative to the connecting platform 10; when the knife shaft 30 is located at the second position, the sensing module 70 triggers sensing.

[0066] like Figure 5 As shown, the sensing module 70 uses a micro switch 710. When the knife shaft 30 moves to the second position along its axial direction, the knife shaft 30 triggers the sensing end 720 of the micro switch 710. The micro switch 710 feeds back a signal to the control mainboard of the food processor so that the control mainboard can obtain the position information of the knife shaft 30, thereby controlling the rotation direction of the driving module 60, that is, controlling the rotation direction of the motor 610. As the rotation direction of the knife shaft changes, the movement direction of the knife shaft also changes with the cooperation of the first thread structure and the second thread structure.

[0067] like Figure 5 As shown, the connection platform 10 is movably provided with a trigger rod 730, and the trigger rod 730 reciprocates between the sensing position and the separation position relative to the connection platform 10, and the connection platform 10 is provided with a second elastic element 740 for driving the trigger rod 730 to remain in the separation position. When the knife shaft 30 moves to the second position along its axial direction, the knife shaft 30 presses the trigger rod 730, so that the trigger rod 730 moves from the separation position to the sensing position, so as to trigger the sensing end 720 of the micro switch 710. When the knife shaft 30 is separated from the trigger rod 730, the second elastic element 740 pushes the trigger rod 730 to move to the separation position.
