Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pasta machine technology, and particularly to a pasta machine, a telescopic unlocking shaft structure for opening the lid, a pasta machine equipped with a telescopic unlocking shaft structure, a gearbox structure for a pasta machine, and a lever mounting structure for a pasta machine. Background Technology
[0002] A traditional pasta machine includes a dough-making chamber and a screw installed inside the dough-making chamber. The motor or other power device installed on the main unit of the pasta machine drives the screw to rotate, which mixes water and flour to form dough, and outputs the dough from the dough-making chamber as strips of noodles.
[0003] Traditional pasta machines have a fixed dough-making chamber and main unit. After using the pasta machine, when it is necessary to clean the dough residue in the dough-making chamber, the main unit and the dough-making chamber must be moved together to the cleaning area for cleaning, which is quite troublesome.
[0004] To address the issue of cumbersome cleaning of the dough-making chamber, the present invention's pasta machine features a dough-making chamber that is detachable from the main unit. However, due to the essential functions of the dough-making chamber, such as kneading or dispensing dough, and the necessity of driving the screw within the chamber, it is necessary to connect the drive output terminal on the main unit to the screw drive when using the pasta machine after reinstalling the dough-making chamber back onto the main unit. Traditional pasta machines require aligning the drive output terminal and the screw on the main unit before moving the dough-making chamber to achieve this connection, making the process of aligning and connecting the drive and screw on the main unit rather cumbersome.
[0005] To address the cumbersome process of aligning and connecting the drive and screw on the main unit, the present invention provides a retractable drive output terminal for the main unit. However, this retractable design increases the duplication of the drive structure, leading to reduced stability and higher costs. Summary of the Invention
[0006] One object of the present invention is to solve or alleviate the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0007] The present invention employs a lever mounting structure for a pasta machine, which includes a gearbox housing, a rotary output component, and a drive gear with rotational power. The drive gear is disposed within the gearbox housing. The rotary output component is linearly slidably connected to the drive gear and rotates along the same axis as the drive gear. The invention also includes a lever component, which comprises a linkage end, a drive end, and a lever connecting portion located between the linkage end and the drive end. The lever connecting portion is rotatably connected to the gearbox housing, and the drive end is drively connected to the rotary output component.
[0008] The effect achieved by this invention is that, under the premise that the actuating component can drive the rotating output component to move along the rotation axis of the rotating output component, the driving device can be pre-assembled into one unit, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency.
[0009] A further technical solution includes a rotary output component comprising an axially movable connecting portion exposed outside the gearbox housing, wherein the drive end is drivenly connected to the axially movable connecting portion.
[0010] A further technical solution involves providing a retaining ring groove in the axial moving connection part, with the retaining ring engaging in the retaining ring groove and abutting against the drive end.
[0011] It facilitates the connection of the axial moving connection part to the drive end.
[0012] A further technical solution involves an opening at the drive end facing away from the linkage end to form a shaft mounting groove, into which the axially moving connection part is inserted.
[0013] A further technical solution involves a rotary connecting groove on the gearbox housing and a rotary connecting rod on the lever connection part, with the rotary connecting rod located within the rotary connecting groove.
[0014] It facilitates the connection of the axial moving part to the drive end, and also allows the toggle to be assembled with the top cover closed.
[0015] Further technical solutions include an anti-detachment component with a limiting protrusion; a rotary connecting groove extending along a direction parallel to the rotation axis of the rotary output component and communicating with the outside; the anti-detachment component being detachably fixedly connected to the gearbox housing, and the limiting protrusion being inserted into the rotary connecting groove and abutting or approaching the rotary connecting rod.
[0016] It facilitates the connection of the axial moving connection part to the drive end.
[0017] A further technical solution involves providing a rotary connecting seat on the gearbox housing, with a rotary connecting groove disposed on the rotary connecting seat.
[0018] This allows the drive unit to be pre-assembled, which helps improve production efficiency.
[0019] Further technical solutions also include a motor and transmission gears, with the transmission gears located at the motor output end and between the drive gears; the rotational speed of the output component is less than the speed of the motor.
[0020] A further technical solution also includes a motor housing that is fixedly connected to the gearbox housing, with the motor fixed inside the motor housing.
[0021] This allows the drive unit to be pre-assembled, which helps improve production efficiency.
[0022] A further technical solution includes the aforementioned lever mounting structure for the pasta machine, as well as a main unit, a dough-making component, and an upper cover rotatably connected to the main unit. The upper cover includes a linkage part that is driven and connected to the linkage end. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0038] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0039] As a specific embodiment, the pasta machine of the first embodiment includes a main unit 1, a pasta-making component 2, and a top cover 3.
[0040] The dough-making assembly 2 includes a dough-making chamber 21 with a dough outlet 219 and a dough-making screw 22 for kneading and / or extruding dough. The dough-making screw 22 has screw blades 229. The dough-making screw 22 is rotatable relative to the dough-making chamber 21 and can be positioned inside the dough-making chamber 21; for example, the dough-making screw 22 is rotatably connected to the dough-making chamber 21 such that the screw blades 229 are located inside the dough-making chamber 21. The dough-making screw 22 and its screw blades 229 are used to mix and stir water, flour, etc., in the dough-making chamber 21 to form dough, and / or to extrude the dough from the dough outlet 219 to form noodles, etc. Of course, the dough-making screw 22 can also achieve dough kneading and / or extrusion through other means besides the screw blades 229.
[0041] At least one of the main unit 1 and the top cover 3 comes into contact with the dough-making chamber 21, thereby fixing the dough-making chamber 21 relative to the main unit 1. At this time, the top cover 3 is in the closed state, and the dough-making chamber 21 is fixed relative to the main unit 1 and cannot move relative to the main unit 1. For example, the main unit 1 is provided with a dough-making chamber setting slot 11; when the top cover 3 is in the closed state, the outer wall of the dough-making chamber 21 is in contact with the inner wall of the dough-making chamber setting slot 11, and the top cover 3 is provided with a dough-making chamber limiting part 32, which is in contact with the dough-making chamber 21, thereby fixing the dough-making chamber 21 relative to the main unit 1.
[0042] At least one of the main unit 1 and the top cover 3 is provided with a rotary output component 41 with rotational power.
[0043] The face-forming screw 22 includes a power connection end 221.
[0044] The top cover 3 is movable relative to the main unit 1. The dough-making chamber 21 is movable relative to the main unit 1 until it can be detached from the main unit 1 or the top cover 3. At this time, the top cover 3 is in the open state. When the top cover 3 is in the closed state, the power connection end 221 is driven to connect with the rotary output component 41; that is, when the rotary output component 41 rotates, it drives the dough-making screw 22 to rotate through the power connection end 221.
[0045] When the upper cover 3 moves relative to the main unit 1 to the open state, the power connection end 221 and the rotary output component 41 are actually separated or can be separated. Actual separation means that a gap has formed between the power connection end 221 and the rotary output component 41, and they are no longer in contact. Capable of separation means that the power connection end 221 and the rotary output component 41 remain in a driven connection state, but moving the power connection end 221 can actually separate the power connection end 221 from the rotary output component 41; for example, ... Figure 13 As shown, the faceting screw 22 is cylindrical, and the exposed notch 222 is generally rectangular. Both the upper and lower ends of the exposed notch 222 protrude from the cylindrical surface of the faceting screw 22. Those skilled in the art will understand that the faceting screw 22 or the rotating output component 41 is provided with the exposed notch 222, which extends from the faceting screw 22 or the rotating output component 41 along a vertical direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the faceting screw 22 (e.g., ...). Figure 13As shown by arrow 5 (ARR5), the drive connection end 221 is provided with a drive connection protrusion (not shown in the figure) that inserts into the exposed notch 222, protruding from the face-making screw 22 or the rotating output component 41. When the upper cover 3 moves relative to the main unit 1 to the open state, the drive connection protrusion inserts into the exposed notch 222 and maintains the drive connection state. However, when the face-making component 2 is moved, the drive connection protrusion moves vertically upward or in another direction and is pulled out from the exposed notch 222, thus achieving actual separation. It is easy to understand that this embodiment can be used in the embodiment described later in which the upper cover 3 and the main unit 1 are vertically and linearly connected in a direction that has an angle with the rotation axis of the face-making screw 22, or in the embodiment described later in which the upper cover 3 and the main unit 1 are detachably connected. These embodiments can simplify the structure and reduce costs, but require manual alignment when the drive connection protrusion is inserted into the exposed notch 222, which will reduce the ease of operation to some extent.
[0046] The pasta machine of the first embodiment allows the dough-making component 2 to be detached from the main unit 1 and the top cover 3 for easy cleaning.
[0047] As one specific implementation, one of the rotary output component 41 and the power connection end 221 is provided with a drive connection groove 411. The other of the rotary output component 41 and the power connection end 221 moves along the rotation axis of the face-making screw 22 and inserts into the drive connection groove 411, so that the power connection end 221 is drivenly connected to the rotary output component 41. For example, the cross-section of the drive connection groove 411 and the cross-section of the power connection end 221 are both regular hexagonal. This implementation allows the face-making assembly 2 to be removed from the main unit 1 and the top cover 3, facilitating cleaning of the face-making assembly 2, while ensuring that the rotary output component 41 and the face-making screw 22 have a large force-transmitting contact surface and rotate along the same axis, thereby improving the reliability of the rotary output component 41 driving the face-making screw 22. For example, the entire face-making assembly 2 is pushed while the rotary output component 41 is fixed, causing the power connection end 221 to move along the rotation axis of the face-making screw 22 and insert into the drive connection groove 411.
[0048] As one specific implementation, the mass of the rotating output component 41 is less than the mass of the dough-making assembly 2. The main unit 1 or the top cover 3 is provided with a drive gear 421 that has rotational power. The rotating output component 41 and the drive gear 421 are linearly slidably connected, allowing the rotating output component 41 to interact linearly along the rotation axis of the dough-making screw 22. For example, the drive gear 421 is provided with a drive gear groove 422, and the rotating output component 41 includes a sliding part 412 that is embedded in the drive gear groove 422, so that the rotating output component 41 and the drive gear 421 are linearly slidably connected. Typically, the cross-section of the sliding part 412 is a square or other non-circular shape. It is easy to understand that the drive gear 421 in this paragraph should be interpreted broadly, that is, as a drive wheel, not just a gear. The mass of the rotating output component 41 and the mass of the dough-making assembly 2 both refer to the mass of the pasta machine when it is in use; in particular, the dough-making assembly 2 will contain water and flour during use, so the mass of the dough-making assembly 2 also includes the mass of the water and flour it contains during use. It is easy to understand that the dough-making assembly 2 contains water and flour, and has a relatively large mass. If the other of the rotating output component 41 and the power connection end 221 is moved along the rotation axis of the dough-making screw 22 and inserted into the drive connection slot 411 by pushing the dough-making assembly 2, the pasta machine would need to have a structure with a correspondingly larger moving mass for the dough-making assembly 2, resulting in higher reliability and structural material costs. However, if the pasta machine uses the same structural materials, the rotating output component 41, with its smaller moving mass, does not have the above problems. Therefore, this embodiment eliminates the need to move the other of the rotating output component 41 and the power connection end 221 along the rotation axis of the dough-making screw 22 and insert it into the drive connection slot 411 by moving the entire dough-making assembly 2, which has a large moving mass. Under the premise of using the same structural materials, the pasta machine can improve reliability and reduce structural material costs.
[0049] As one specific implementation, the pasta machine of the first embodiment also includes a motion conversion component (not shown in the accompanying drawings). This motion conversion component converts the movement of the upper cover 3 relative to the main unit 1 into movement of the rotation output component 41 or the power connection end 221 along the rotation axis of the pasta-making screw 22. For example, the motion conversion can be achieved using a motion conversion ramp (not shown in the accompanying drawings). This ramp is disposed on the upper cover 3 or the pasta-making assembly 2. The upper cover 3 moves up and down relative to the main unit 1 (perpendicular to the direction of movement along the rotation axis of the pasta-making screw 22) and, through the motion conversion ramp, abuts against the pasta-making assembly 2, causing the pasta-making assembly 2 to move along the rotation axis of the pasta-making screw 22. The motion conversion transforms the up-and-down movement of the upper cover 3 relative to the main unit 1 into movement of the pasta-making assembly 2 along the rotation axis of the pasta-making screw 22. Of course, the motion conversion can also be other structures, such as an inclined slide rail structure.
[0050] As one specific implementation, the upper cover 3 is rotatably connected to the main unit 1, for example, through a pin or other means. The upper cover 3 is provided with a linkage part 31 that is driven and connected to the motion conversion component. The linkage part 31 converts the rotational motion of the upper cover 3 relative to the main unit 1 into the movement of the rotation output component 41 along the rotation axis of the faceted screw 22. This implementation ensures that the upper cover 3 remains connected to the main unit 1, and the upper cover 3 does not require alignment with the main unit 1, making it convenient to use.
[0051] As one specific embodiment (not shown in the accompanying drawings), the axis of rotation connecting the upper cover 3 and the main unit 1 is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the faceting screw 22, and the rotational surface of the upper cover 3 relative to the main unit 1 (i.e., the plane containing the circle formed by the rotation of a point on the upper cover 3 relative to the main unit 1) is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the faceting screw 22; for example, the linkage 31 is a gear with a vertical axis, and the rotating output component 41 is provided with a rack that meshes with the linkage 31, such as Figure 1 As shown, the upper cover 3 can rotate relative to the main unit 1 in a horizontal plane. The upper cover 3 and the linkage 31 rotate horizontally relative to the main unit 1, and the rotating output member 41 moves along the rotation axis of the dough-making screw 22 via a rack. This embodiment can reduce the overall height of the pasta machine when the upper cover 3 is open.
[0052] As one specific embodiment (not shown in the accompanying drawings), the axis of rotation connecting the upper cover 3 and the main unit 1 is parallel to the axis of rotation of the faceting screw 22, and the rotational surface of the upper cover 3 relative to the main unit 1 is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the faceting screw 22; for example, the linkage part 31 is a nut whose axis of rotation coincides with the axis of rotation of the faceting screw 22, and the rotating output part 41 is provided with a screw that cooperates with the nut, such as Figure 1 As shown, the upper cover 3 can flip to the left or right relative to the main unit 1. This is easily understood; for a threaded structure similar to a nut or screw, or a plane formed by one side rotating at a constant speed while the other moves or changes speed along the axis, it can also be understood as a nut and screw mating structure. The flipping of the upper cover 3 and the linkage 31 relative to the main unit 1 causes the nut to rotate around the rotation axis of the faceted screw 22 (for example, by belt or gear transmission), and the screw causes the rotating output component 41 to move along the rotation axis of the faceted screw 22. This embodiment provides a high degree of design freedom; for example, the upper cover 3 can be flipped open from the side of the main unit 1 (the front side is the side with the outlet 219, and the sides of the main unit 1 are located on either side of the side with the outlet 219).
[0053] As one of the specific implementation methods, such as Figure 2As shown, the axis of rotation connecting the upper cover 3 and the main unit 1 is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the dough-making screw 22, and the rotational surface of the upper cover 3 relative to the main unit 1 is parallel to the axis of rotation of the dough-making screw 22. In the open state, this embodiment provides ample space for the dough-making assembly 2 to move freely, facilitating its removal and placement.
[0054] As one specific implementation method, the upper cover 3 is provided with a limiting part. When the upper cover 3 is in the open state, the limiting part interacts with the main unit 1 to limit the rotation angle of the upper cover 3, so that when viewed from above, the center of gravity of the upper cover 3 is located inside the main unit 1. For example, Figure 4 As shown, when the top cover 3 is in the open state, the rear end of the top cover 3 (the end opposite to the outlet 219) serves as a supporting part and abuts against the rear wall of the main unit 1, so that the top cover 3 and the main unit 1 form an angle slightly greater than ninety degrees, as shown. Figure 3 As shown, when the top cover 3 is in the open state, its center of gravity is located inside the main unit 1 when viewed from above. This embodiment, and the aforementioned embodiment where the axis of rotation connecting the top cover 3 and the main unit 1 is parallel to the axis of rotation of the face-making screw 22, and the rotation of the top cover 3 relative to the main unit 1 is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the face-making screw 22, ensures that the main unit 1 can be stably placed and will not easily tip over due to the weight of the top cover 3 after the top cover 3 is in the open state and the face-making component 2 is removed. It is easily understood that this embodiment also ensures that the main unit 1 can be stably placed and will not easily tip over due to the weight of the top cover 3 after the top cover 3 is in the open state and the face-making component 2 is removed.
[0055] like Figure 11As shown, in the second embodiment of the telescopic unlocking shaft structure for opening the cover, the upper cover 3 and the main unit 1 are vertically and linearly connected in a direction that forms an angle with the rotation axis of the face screw 22. For example, the upper cover 3 and the main unit 1 are vertically and linearly connected in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the face screw 22 (i.e., the upper cover 3 and the main unit 1 are vertically and linearly connected in a direction that forms a 90-degree angle with the rotation axis of the face screw 22, which is a vertical linear sliding connection). That is, the upper cover 3 and the main unit 1 are vertically and linearly connected in a direction that forms a straight sliding connection in the lifting direction. For example, the upper cover 3 and the main unit 1 are connected by a vertical linear guide rail. The rotating output component 41 is provided with a linear slide rail that is inclined relative to the horizontal plane (not shown in the figure). The upper cover 3 is provided with a protrusion that inserts into the inclined linear slide rail. When the upper cover 3 rises relative to the main unit 1, the rotating output component 41 moves along the rotation axis of the face screw 22 and is pulled out and inserted into the drive connection slot 411, thereby realizing the actual separation and drive connection between the power connection end 221 and the rotating output component 41. Alternatively, the upper cover 3 can be detachably connected to the main unit 1. For example, the upper cover 3 and the main unit 1 can be connected by a snap-fit. When the snap-fit is opened, the upper cover 3 and the main unit 1 can move in a vertical or other direction to separate from the main unit 1. The rotating output component 41 is provided with an inclined surface. When the upper cover 3 approaches the main unit 1, the upper cover 3 abuts against the inclined surface, causing the rotating output component 41 to move along the rotation axis of the faceting screw 22. When the upper cover 3 approaches the main unit 1, the rotating output component 41 is reset by elastic elements such as springs and moves in the opposite direction along the rotation axis of the faceting screw 22. This achieves the actual separation and drive connection between the power connection end 221 and the rotating output component 41. This embodiment simplifies the structure and reduces costs.
[0056] like Figure 12 As shown, in the third embodiment, the telescopic unlocking shaft structure with an open cover has the upper cover 3 and the main unit 1 linearly slidably connected along the rotation axis of the dough-making screw 22, i.e., the upper cover 3 and the main unit 1 are linearly slidably connected in the horizontal direction. For example, the rotary output component 41 and the motor 49 for driving the rotary output component 41 are mounted on the upper cover 3. The upper cover 3 is linearly slidably connected relative to the main unit 1 in the horizontal direction, so that the rotary output component 41 and the motor 49 also slide linearly in the horizontal direction, thereby allowing the rotary output component 41 to move along the rotation axis of the dough-making screw 22 to insert into or withdraw from the drive connection slot 411. When the upper cover 3 slides linearly in the horizontal direction until it is completely misaligned with the dough-making chamber 21 when viewed from above, the upper cover 3 is in the open state, and the dough-making chamber 21 can be moved upward to disassemble the dough-making assembly 2. This embodiment simplifies the structure and reduces costs.
[0057] Of course, those skilled in the art will readily realize that the upper cover 3 and the main unit 1 can also move relative to the main unit 1 through other existing movement methods.
[0058] As a specific embodiment, the telescopic unlocking shaft structure for opening the cover in the first embodiment includes a main unit 1, a dough-making component 2, and a top cover 3; the dough-making component 2 includes a dough-making chamber 21 with a dough outlet 219 and a dough-making screw 22 for kneading and / or discharging dough, the dough-making screw 22 is rotatable relative to the dough-making chamber 21 and can be disposed inside the dough-making chamber 21; at least one of the main unit 1 and the top cover 3 is in contact with the dough-making chamber 21 so that the dough-making chamber 21 is fixed relative to the main unit 1.
[0059] The main unit 1 is equipped with a drive device 4, which includes a rotary output component 41; the face-forming screw 22 includes a power connection end 221; and the upper cover 3 is rotatably connected to the main unit 1.
[0060] The rotating output component 41 can move along the rotation axis of the face screw 22 as the upper cover 3 rotates relative to the main unit 1.
[0061] In this embodiment, the dough-making component 2 can be detached from the main unit 1 and the top cover 3. Since the dough-making component 2 does not need to have a complex structure such as a drive device 4, and there is no need to consider factors such as waterproofing, the dough-making component 2 can be cleaned more easily.
[0062] As one specific implementation, the axis of rotation connecting the upper cover 3 and the main unit 1 is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the dough-making screw 22, and the rotational surface of the upper cover 3 relative to the main unit 1 is parallel to the axis of rotation of the dough-making screw 22. The rotating output component 41 moves away from the power connection end 221 as the angle between the upper cover 3 and the main unit 1 increases, and moves closer to the power connection end 221 as the angle between the upper cover 3 and the main unit 1 decreases. After the upper cover 3 is rotated open, the rotating output component 41 is actually separated from the power connection end 221, making it easy to remove the dough-making component 2. At the same time, after placing the dough-making component 2 on the main unit 1 and rotating the upper cover 3 to close, the rotating output component 41 is driven to connect with the power connection end 221. This simplifies the disassembly and installation steps between the dough-making component 2 and the main unit 1, making it convenient to use.
[0063] As one specific implementation, the upper cover 3 is provided with a linkage part 31; the drive device 4 also includes a gearbox assembly 42 and a motor 49. The gearbox assembly 42 includes a gearbox housing 429, a drive gear 421, and a transmission gear 428. The transmission gear 428 is disposed between the motor output end 491 of the motor 49 and the drive gear 421. For example, there is at least one transmission gear 428. When there is one transmission gear 428, the transmission gear 428 meshes with both the drive gear 421 and the motor output end 491 of the motor 49. When there are multiple transmission gears 428, the multiple transmission gears 428 mesh with each other. The primary transmission gear 428 of the multiple transmission gears 428 meshes with the motor output end 491 of the motor 49, and the final transmission gear 428 of the multiple transmission gears 428 meshes with the drive gear 421. It should be noted that the direct meshing of the motor output end 491 and the drive gear 421 also falls under the category of the transmission gear 428 being disposed between the motor output end 491 of the motor 49 and the drive gear 421. The rotary output component 41 is linearly slidably connected to the drive gear 421 and shares the same rotation axis as the drive gear 421. The linkage part 31 can directly or indirectly drive the rotary output component 41 to slide linearly relative to the drive gear 421. For example, the axial moving connection part 413 of the rotary output component 41 (described later) is provided with multiple parallel annular protrusions (not shown in the accompanying drawings of this embodiment). The linkage part 31 is a gear and abuts against the multiple parallel annular protrusions, so that the linkage part 31 can directly drive the rotary output component 41 to slide linearly relative to the drive gear 421. It should be noted that the multiple parallel annular protrusions (not threads) do not obstruct the rotary output component 41 from rotating with the drive gear 421. Of course, other methods or methods described later can also be used to achieve the same result, where the linkage part 31 can directly or indirectly drive the rotary output component 41 to slide linearly relative to the drive gear 421. This embodiment simplifies the disassembly and assembly steps between the surface-forming assembly 2 and the main unit 1, making it easy to use. The rotational speed of the rotary output component 41 is less than the rotational speed of the motor 49, thus achieving deceleration output. This embodiment can increase the output torque of the rotary output member 41.
[0064] As one specific implementation, the rotary output component 41 includes a sliding portion 412, and the drive gear 421 is provided with a drive gear groove 422. The sliding portion 412 is embedded in the drive gear groove 422, so that the rotary output component 41 and the drive gear 421 are linearly slidably connected. For example, the cross-sections of the sliding portion 412 and the drive gear groove 422 are both non-circular, such as squares, regular hexagons, or equilateral triangles, so that the rotary output component 41 can slide linearly along the axis of the drive gear 421 while also rotating with the drive gear 421.
[0065] As one specific implementation, the drive device 4 also includes a toggle member 43, which includes a linkage end 431, a drive end 432, and a lever connecting portion 433 located between the linkage end 431 and the drive end 432. The linkage portion 31 of the upper cover 3 meshes with the linkage end 431. It is easy to understand that both the linkage portion 31 and the linkage end 431 are provided with gear teeth and can mesh with each other. The rotary output member 41 includes an axial movement connecting portion 413, and the drive end 432 is drivenly connected to the axial movement connecting portion 413. The lever connecting portion 433 is rotatably connected to the gearbox housing 429 or the main unit 1. It should be noted that the toggle member 43 can be a gear. For a toggle member 43 that is a gear, the rotation axis of the gear is rotatably connected to the gearbox housing 429. The part of the gear that meshes with the linkage portion 31 is the linkage end 431, and the part that connects to the axial movement connecting portion 413 is the drive end 432. Furthermore, although the toggle member 43 is a preferred embodiment, there can be multiple toggle members 43, which drive each other. This embodiment ensures that the rotary output member 41 moves away from the power connection end 221 as the angle between the upper cover 3 and the main unit 1 increases, and moves closer to the power connection end 221 as the angle between the upper cover 3 and the main unit 1 decreases.
[0066] As one specific embodiment, the axial moving connection part 413 is exposed outside the gearbox housing 429 and is provided with a retaining ring groove 481. The retaining ring 48 is engaged in the retaining ring groove 481 and abuts against the drive end 432, thereby drivingly connecting the drive end 432 and the axial moving connection part 413. This embodiment facilitates the connection between the axial moving connection part 413 and the drive end 432. It should be noted that the structure that allows the axial moving connection part 413 to be detached from the component, such as a pin inserting into a socket, and the structure that allows the component to abut against the drive end 432, should also be understood as the structure in which the retaining ring 48 is engaged in the retaining ring groove 481.
[0067] As one specific implementation, the drive end 432 opens in the direction away from the linkage end 431 to form a shaft mounting groove 482, and the axial moving connection part 413 is inserted into the shaft mounting groove 482.
[0068] As one specific implementation, the drive device 4 further includes a rotary connection structure 44, which includes a rotary connection groove 442 and a rotary connection rod 441. The gearbox housing 429 or the main unit 1 is provided with the rotary connection groove 442, and the lever connection part 433 is provided with the rotary connection rod 441, for example, both sides of the lever connection part 433 are provided with the rotary connection rod 441. The rotary connection rod 441 is located in the rotary connection groove 442, so that the lever connection part 433 is rotatably connected to the gearbox housing 429 or the main unit 1. This implementation facilitates the connection of the axially movable connection part 413 to the drive end 432, and also allows the assembly of the actuating component 43 when the upper cover 3 is closed.
[0069] As one specific implementation, the rotary connection structure 44 also includes an anti-detachment component 443 with a limiting protrusion 444; the rotary connection groove 442 extends along a direction parallel to the rotation axis of the rotary output component 41 and communicates with the outside; the anti-detachment component 443 is detachably fixedly connected to the gearbox housing 429 or the main unit 1, for example, by screws; the limiting protrusion 444 is inserted into the rotary connection groove 442 and abuts or approaches the rotary connection rod 441, so that the lever connection part 433 is rotatably connected to the gearbox housing 429 or the main unit 1. This facilitates the rotatable connection of the lever 43 to the gearbox housing 429 or the main unit 1, and also allows the lever 43 to be assembled when the upper cover 3 is closed.
[0070] As one specific implementation, the main unit 1 is provided with a lever opening 14 and a removable opening cover 149. The opening cover 149 completely covers the lever opening 14, and when viewed directly, the actuating member 43 has a portion located within the actuating member 43. Figure 10 As shown, in the embodiment where the aforementioned rotary connecting groove 442 extends along the direction parallel to the rotation axis of the rotary output member 41 and communicates with the outside, the upper cover 3 is in a closed state, the exposed cover plate 149 of the main unit 1 is open, and the anti-detachment member 443 is separated from the gearbox housing 429 or the main unit 1. Then, the linkage end 431 engages with the linkage part 31 and the rotary connecting rod 441 of the actuating member 43 is inserted into the rotary connecting groove 442. During this process, the axial moving connecting part 413 passes through the opening of the drive end 432 toward the direction away from the linkage end 431 and is inserted into the shaft mounting groove 482. Then, the snap ring 48 is snapped into the snap ring groove 481, and the anti-detachment member 443 is installed on the gearbox housing 429 or the main unit 1 to complete the assembly. This embodiment facilitates the assembly of the actuating component 43 and allows it to be assembled with the upper cover 3 closed. The rotation angle of the linkage end 431 of the actuating component 43 relative to the linkage part 31 of the upper cover 3 is uniform, thereby ensuring that the starting and ending positions of the axial direction (i.e., along its rotation axis) of the rotating output component 41 are relatively stable and the product uniformity is high. It is less likely or less likely that the rotating output component 41 will extend excessively toward the surface-forming component 2 when the upper cover 3 is closed, causing the upper cover 3 to be unable to close, or that the upper cover 3 will be forcibly closed, causing damage to the linkage part 31 and / or the linkage end 431. It is also less likely or less likely that the rotating output component 41 will retract excessively toward the surface-forming component 2 when the upper cover 3 is closed, causing the contact surface between the rotating output component 41 and the power connection end 221 to be small or non-contact, thus failing to reliably transmit power. It is easy to understand that, given the existing problem of the rotating output component 41 extending excessively or retracting towards the face assembly 2 when the top cover 3 is closed, this embodiment also facilitates adjustment of the rotation angle of the linkage end 431 of the toggle component 43 relative to the linkage portion 31 of the top cover 3. Of course, this embodiment does not preclude the toggle component 43 from being pre-assembled with the gearbox housing 429.
[0071] As one specific implementation, the gearbox housing 429 is provided with a rotary connecting seat 445, and a rotary connecting groove 442 is provided on the rotary connecting seat 445. This implementation allows the drive unit 4 to be pre-assembled as a single unit, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency.
[0072] As one specific implementation, it also includes a motor housing 499 fixedly connected to the gearbox housing 429, with the motor 49 fixed inside the motor housing 499. This implementation allows the drive unit 4 to be pre-assembled as a single unit, which is beneficial for improving production efficiency.
