[0030] Reference Figure 1 The food processing equipment of the embodiment of the utility model comprises a base 101, a turntable 102 and a bottom support 103. Figure 1 In order to facilitate viewing of the matching structure of the turntable 102 and the base 103, the turntable 102 and the base 103 are in a separated state. The base 101 mainly plays a supporting role. The turntable 102 is placed on the base 101 and is rotatably connected to the base 101, that is, the turntable 102 can rotate in a horizontal plane relative to the base 101. The base 101 and the turntable 102 are both important components of the decorating turntable. The turntable 102 is usually made of stainless steel, plastic, cast iron or glass, and is used to support the cake embryo and rotate it to facilitate decorating. The role of the base 103 in cake decorating is to support the cake so that it remains stable during the decoration process, and it is also easy to move and carry. The base 103 can have different materials and shapes, and the following materials are common: plastic, metal, paper, silicone and wood. After the decoration is completed, the base 103 can help support the entire cake structure, making it more stable when moving or cutting. In addition, some bases 103 are designed with handles for easy carrying or stackable designs, which increases the convenience of use.

[0031] It should be noted that, in addition to being used for cake decorating, the food processing equipment of the embodiment of the utility model can also be used for processing other foods, such as decorating other desserts or carving fruits.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3As shown, it can be understood that a connecting piece 104 is provided at the rotation center of the turntable 102, and a positioning hole 301 is provided at the rotation center of the base 103. The connecting piece 104 is inserted into the positioning hole 301, thereby connecting the turntable 102 and the base 103. After the turntable 102 rotates, the base 103 is driven to rotate together, and a good positioning effect is achieved. Since the rotation center of the turntable 102 and the rotation center of the base 103 are both connected by the connecting piece 104, the rotation centers of the turntable 102 and the base 103 are located on the same axis, that is, the concentric positioning of the turntable 102 and the base 103 is completed.

[0033] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the connecting member 104 can also be arranged at other positions. For example, there are multiple connecting members 104, and they are arranged around the rotation center of the turntable 102. Correspondingly, the base 103 is provided with multiple positioning holes 301, and the multiple positioning holes 301 are arranged around the rotation center of the base 103. Each connecting member 104 corresponds to a positioning hole 301, so as to achieve concentric positioning of the turntable 102 and the base 103.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the connecting member 104 includes a magnetic member 302 and a pin member 303, the magnetic member 302 is fixed to the bottom of the pin member 303, the turntable 102 is provided with a mounting hole 304, the pin member 303 is movably arranged in the mounting hole 304, the top of the pin member 303 is penetrated through the positioning hole 301, the turntable 102 is made of metal, the magnetic member 302 can be a magnet, the magnetic member 302 can be attracted to the bottom wall of the mounting hole 304, under the action of magnetic attraction and gravity, the connecting member 104 is kept in the mounting hole 304, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the turntable 102 and the base 103, and the user can also take out the connecting member 104, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the connecting member 104 and the turntable 102.

[0035] It can be understood that in some working conditions, the connecting member 104 can be removed from the turntable 102, and can be applicable to working conditions where the base 103 and the turntable 102 do not need to be set concentrically, that is, it can be applicable to the base 103 without a positioning hole 301, thereby improving the application range of the food processing equipment of the embodiment of the utility model.

[0036] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the connector 104 can be constructed as a spring locating pin, which is a commonly used mechanical part mainly used for fixing and positioning. It is usually made of metal, cylindrical in shape, with a spiral spring at one end and a sharp end at the other end. The working principle of the spring locating pin is to use the elasticity of the spring to achieve automatic positioning. When the locating pin is inserted into the hole, the spring will be compressed. When the locating pin is pulled out, the spring will quickly return to its original state, thereby driving the locating pin to automatically pop out. Specifically, in this embodiment, the spring locating pin is installed in the mounting hole 304. When the base 103 of this embodiment is installed on the turntable 102, one end of the spring locating pin protrudes outside the mounting hole 304 and is inserted into the positioning hole 301 of the base 103. The end with the spring is located in the mounting hole 304 to achieve the connection between the turntable 102 and the base 103. When the base bracket 103 without the positioning hole 301 is used, the base bracket 103 without the positioning hole 301 compresses the spring positioning pin into the mounting hole 304, which does not affect the normal use of the base bracket 103 without the positioning hole 301, and there is no need to remove the spring positioning pin. When the base bracket 103 without the positioning hole 301 is removed, the spring positioning pin re-extends out of the mounting hole 304 under the action of the spring.

[0037] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the connecting member 104 can also be set to other forms of structures, so that the connecting member 104 can be retractably arranged in the mounting hole 304. For example, the connecting member 104 includes a positioning pin and two magnets with opposite magnetic properties, one of which is fixed to the bottom of the positioning pin and the other is fixed to the bottom wall of the mounting hole 304. When the base bracket 103 of this embodiment is installed on the turntable 102, one end of the positioning pin protrudes outside the mounting hole 304 and is inserted into the positioning hole 301 of the base bracket 103, and the end with the magnet is located in the mounting hole 304, so as to realize the connection between the turntable 102 and the base bracket 103. When the base bracket 103 without the positioning hole 301 is used, the base bracket 103 without the positioning hole 301 compresses the positioning pin into the mounting hole 304, and the two magnets with opposite magnetic properties are close to each other, which does not affect the normal use of the base bracket 103 without the positioning hole 301, and there is no need to remove the positioning pin. When the base bracket 103 without the positioning hole 301 is removed, the positioning pin is extended out of the mounting hole 304 again under the action of two magnets with opposite magnetic properties.

[0038] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a circular indentation 401 is provided on the upper surface of the base 103, and the center of the indentation 401 coincides with the rotation center of the base 103, that is, the rotation center of the indentation 401, the rotation center of the base 103, and the rotation center of the turntable 102 are located on the same axis, so that the three are concentrically positioned. The indentation 401 serves as a marking part for the position reference of the cake embryo placed on the base 103, that is, when the edge of the cake embryo is nearly coincident with the indentation 401, the rotation center of the cake embryo and the rotation center of the turntable 102 are basically on the same vertical line, so that it is convenient for the cake decorator to make cakes.

[0039] It is understandable that, in some other embodiments, the shape of the indentation 401 is not limited to a circle, but may also be a quadrilateral, a hexagon or other shapes.

[0040] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the marking part can also be replaced by a light assembly arranged on the base 103, the light assembly includes a light source arranged in the mounting groove of the base 103, and includes a transparent cover arranged above the light source, and the upper surface of the transparent cover is flush with the upper surface of the base 103. Therefore, by turning on the light source, the pattern composed of the light emitted by the light source can be used as the position mark of the cake embryo.

[0041] The method of using the food processing equipment of the embodiment of the utility model is as follows: place the base 103 on the turntable 102 so that the connector 104 is aligned with the positioning hole 301, and then place the cake embryo, and place the cake embryo with reference to the graphic lines of the marking part to complete the concentric positioning of the base 103, the turntable 102 and the cake embryo, and then turn the turntable 102 by hand, so that the base 103 and the cake embryo rotate together with the turntable 102, and the user can perform the decoration operation. After the decoration step is completed, the packaging can be completed directly on the base 103, or the base 103 can be removed to complete the packaging, that is, the ribbon and other objects used for packaging can be placed on the turntable 102 together with the base 103, or the ribbon and other objects can be used after the base 103 is removed.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the base 101 includes a support portion 105 and a mounting portion 106, the support portion 105 is used to abut against the ground or table, the mounting portion 106 is used to connect the turntable 102, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the support portion 105 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the mounting portion 106. The larger the cross-sectional area of ​​the support portion 105, the more stable the base 101. Reducing the cross-sectional area of ​​the mounting portion 106 can save materials and reduce costs on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can reduce the contact area between the base 101 and the turntable 102 and reduce the rotation resistance.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it can be understood that the base 101 further includes a connecting portion 107, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the mounting portion 106 and the supporting portion 105, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting portion 107 gradually decreases along the direction from the supporting portion 105 to the mounting portion 106, that is, along the up-down direction. The connecting portion 107 can make the transition between the mounting portion 106 and the supporting portion 105 gradual, avoiding the phenomenon of significant increase in stress in a local range caused by sudden changes in the outer dimensions.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the connection part 107 is a hollow structure, that is, the connection part 107 has a cavity inside, and the cross section is annular. The mounting part 106 closes one end of the connection part 107, and the support part 105 is an annular structure. The internal space of the support part 105 is connected to the cavity of the connection part 107, so that the user can reach out from the support part 105 or use a tool to enter the cavity of the connection part 107, so as to install the turntable 102 and the mounting part 106.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the turntable 102 includes a disk body 305 and a shaft body 306. The disk body 305 is located at one end of the shaft body 306 close to the base 103. The outer diameter of the disk body 305 is larger than the outer diameter of the shaft body 306. The disk body 305 can be used to place the cake embryo and the base 103, and the shaft body 306 is used to connect the mounting portion 106. The mounting portion 106 is provided with an axial hole, part of the shaft body 306 is located in the axial hole, and part of the shaft body 306 is located outside the axial hole. The shaft body 306 located outside the axial hole is provided with a thread, and the thread is located in the internal cavity of the connecting portion 107 and is connected to the nut 307, so as to place the turntable 102 upwardly away from the base 101. The axial hole is configured as a stepped hole, and the shaft body 306 is also configured as a stepped shaft, so that the base 101 supports the shaft body 306, and reduces the contact area between the turntable 102 and the base 101, thereby reducing the rotation resistance. The turntable 102 also includes a gradient portion 308, which connects the disk body 305 and the shaft body 306. The cross-sectional area of ​​the gradient portion 308 decreases from the top to the bottom, which not only maintains a sufficient supporting area with the disk body 305 to keep the disk body 305 stable, but also allows the shaft body 306 to have a reduced contact area with the base 101, thereby reducing the rotational resistance.

[0046] It should be noted that a motor may be installed on the base 101 to drive the turntable 102 to rotate.

[0047] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
