[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The utility model proposes a stirring device 10, including a connecting component 100, an adapter component 200 and a stirring paddle 300, wherein the connecting component 100 is used to connect a power output device; the adapter component 200 includes a first adapter 210 and a second adapter 220, wherein the first adapter 210 is connected to the connecting component 100, and a protrusion 211 is arranged on the outer periphery of the first adapter 210; the second adapter 220 is provided with a receiving groove 221, and a plurality of slots 222 are formed on the groove peripheral wall of the receiving groove 221 at one end close to the notch of the receiving groove 221, the first adapter 210 is at least partially arranged in the receiving groove 221, the protrusion 211 is arranged in the slot 222, and can slide from one of the slots 222 to another slot 222 adjacent thereto; the stirring paddle 300 is arranged at one end of the second adapter 220 away from the connecting component 100, and the second adapter 220 can drive the stirring paddle 300 to rotate.

[0030] Specifically, the stirring device 10 is used to stir food materials, such as fruits and vegetables, ice cream, batter, etc. The power output device is used to provide power to the stirring device 10. The power output device can be a motor. The motor shaft is connected to the connecting assembly 100, so that the power output device can drive the connecting assembly 100 to rotate, thereby driving the stirring device 10 to rotate to stir the food materials. The first adapter 210 and the second adapter 220 can be made of metal, plastic or other solid materials to ensure that they have sufficient strength and durability. The first adapter 210 is used to connect with the connecting assembly 100 to transmit the power of the power output device to the second adapter 220. The second adapter 220 is used to transmit power to the stirring paddle 300. The second adapter 220 can be directly connected to the stirring paddle 300, or it can be indirectly connected to the stirring paddle 300 through other components.

[0031] In the initial state, the protrusion 211 of the first adapter 210 is arranged in the slot 222 and abuts against the side wall of the slot 222. When the first adapter 210 rotates, the side wall of the slot 222 is pushed by the protrusion 211, and the second adapter 220 can rotate with the first adapter 210, thereby realizing the transmission of power and driving the stirring paddle 300 to rotate. During the rotation of the stirring paddle 300, when the stirring resistance of the stirring paddle 300 is too large, the protrusion 211 can climb relatively along the side wall of the slot 222, slide from one of the slots 222 to another adjacent slot 222, and make a sound to prompt that the current stirring resistance is too large, so that the staff can stop the stirring device 10 in time, and restart the stirring device 10 after eliminating the stirring resistance, thereby avoiding the problem of the stirring paddle 300 breaking due to the excessive stirring resistance.

[0032] When the protrusion 211 slides from one of the slots 222 to another adjacent slot 222, the staff can manually stop the machine after hearing the warning sound of the protrusion 211 slipping; or different slots 222 can be provided with different logos or colors, images, etc. to distinguish them, and the staff can manually stop the machine by observing the protrusion 211 jumping in different slots 222. A control device and a monitoring device such as a camera can also be provided. After the monitoring device detects that the protrusion 211 jumps, the control device controls the stirring device 10 to automatically stop, and issues an alarm to remind the staff to restart the stirring device 10 after the stirring resistance is eliminated.

[0033] It is worth mentioning that the first adapter 210 and the second adapter 220 are equivalent to a universal joint structure. During the assembly process, the protrusion 211 and the slot 222 can form a certain angle. The protrusion 211 does not need to face the slot 222. The protrusion 211 can automatically slide into the slot 222 to complete the assembly, which greatly facilitates the assembly and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0034] The technical solution of the present invention is to provide a protrusion 211 on the first adapter 210 and a plurality of slots 222 that cooperate with the protrusion 211 on the second adapter 220. When the stirring paddle 300 is subjected to excessive stirring resistance, the protrusion 211 can slip and jump between two adjacent slots 222 to prompt that the stirring resistance is too large at this time, so that it is convenient for the staff to operate the stirring device 10 to stop in time and release the stirring resistance, thereby solving the problem of the stirring paddle 300 breaking due to the stirring resistance being too large and the stirring paddle 300 continuing to work, thereby extending the service life of the stirring paddle 300.

[0035] In one embodiment, two protrusions 211 are provided, and the two protrusions 211 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the second adapter 220 is correspondingly provided with an even number of slots 222, and the even number of slots 222 is evenly distributed, and the even number of slots 222 can be an even number of two, four, or six or more. In the initial state, the two relatively arranged protrusions 211 are correspondingly arranged in the two relatively arranged slots 222. When the stirring paddle 300 is subjected to excessive stirring resistance, the two protrusions 211 jump at the same time and jump to the corresponding adjacent slots 222. The provision of two relatively arranged protrusions 211 can avoid the single-sided slot 222 of the second adapter 220 from being subjected to force, thereby improving the balance of the first adapter 210 and the second adapter 220. In addition, the two protrusions 211 push the two slots 222 at the same time, and the power transmission effect is better; the sound of the protrusion 211 slipping and jumping is louder, and the prompt effect is more obvious.

[0037] In one embodiment, the groove bottom of the locking groove 222 and the groove sidewall of the locking groove 222 are smoothly transitioned.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 The connection between the bottom of the slot 222 and the side wall of the slot 222 is in a smooth arc shape, so that the bottom of the slot 222 and the side wall of the slot 222 have a smooth transition, so that the protrusion 211 can slide from the bottom of the slot 222 to the side wall of the slot 222, and then when the stirring resistance of the stirring paddle 300 is too large, it is convenient for the protrusion 211 and the side wall of the slot 222 to climb relative to each other to jump to another adjacent slot 222, avoiding the situation that the stirring resistance is too large but the protrusion 211 is difficult to jump, resulting in the breaking of the stirring paddle 300. At the same time, the smooth transition can also reduce the wear between the protrusion 211 and the slot wall of the slot 222, and extend the service life of the adapter assembly 200.

[0039] In one embodiment, the bottom of the slot 222 is arc-shaped.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 The protrusion 211 is cylindrical, and the bottom of the slot 222 is arc-shaped and fits with the outer peripheral wall of the protrusion 211. The contact area between the bottom of the slot 222 and the outer peripheral wall of the protrusion 211 is increased, and the protrusion 211 has a better pushing effect on the slot 222, which is conducive to the power transmission of the first adapter 210 to the second adapter 220. At the same time, the bottom of the slot 222 is arc-shaped, so that the bottom of the slot 222 and the side wall of the slot 222 have a better smooth transition effect, and the processing is also simpler and more convenient.

[0041] In one embodiment, the connection between the side walls of two adjacent slots 222 is tapered, or is in an arc shape that bulges away from the bottom of the slot 222 .

[0042] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 When the stirring paddle 300 is subjected to excessive stirring resistance, the protrusion 211 and the side wall of one side of one of the slots 222 climb relatively, and when it climbs to the highest point of the connection between the slot side walls of two adjacent slots 222, it slides relatively along the adjacent slot side wall of another slot 222 to the bottom of the slot 222. The conical connection and the arc-shaped connection that protrudes away from the bottom of the slot 222 both help ensure that the protrusion 211 can slide smoothly from one slot 222 to another slot 222, making the sliding of the protrusion 211 smoother and more stable. In addition, the conical or arc-shaped connection makes the notch of the slot 222 larger, making it easier for the protrusion 211 to slide back into the slot 222.

[0043] In one embodiment, the stirring device 10 also includes a first connecting shaft 400 and an elastic member 500, the two ends of the first connecting shaft 400 are respectively connected to the second adapter 220 and the stirring paddle 300, and the elastic member 500 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first connecting shaft 400, with one end abutting the second adapter 220 and the other end abutting the stirring paddle 300.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first connecting shaft 400 connects the second adapter 220 and the stirring paddle 300, so that the stirring paddle 300 can be effectively connected to the power output device through the first connecting shaft 400 and the adapter assembly 200 to achieve the stirring function. The elastic member 500 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first connecting shaft 400, with one end abutting the second adapter 220 and the other end abutting the stirring paddle 300. The elastic member 500 plays the role of resetting the second adapter 220.

[0045] Specifically, in the initial state, the protrusion 211 is disposed in the slot 222 and pushes against the inner wall of the slot 222, so that the second adapter 220 can rotate, thereby driving the stirring paddle 300 to rotate to achieve the effect of stirring the food. When the stirring paddle 300 is subjected to excessive stirring resistance, the elastic member 500 is compressed toward the end connected to the stirring paddle 300, so that the protrusion 211 climbs along the slot side wall of the slot 222. When the protrusion 211 is located at the highest point of the connection between the slot side walls of two adjacent slots 222, the protrusion 211 begins to slide down along the slot side wall of another slot 222 and slides into the slot 222. During the process of the protrusion 211 sliding down, the elastic member 500 restores the elastic deformation and resets the second adapter 220, so that the protrusion 211 is located in the adjacent slot 222, and a jump of the protrusion 211 is completed.

[0046] At the same time, the elastic member 500 also plays a role of buffering and shock absorption. During the stirring process, the elastic member 500 can absorb part of the vibration and impact force, reduce the impact on the stirring device 10, and protect the stability and safety of the stirring device 10.

[0047] In one embodiment, the second adapter 220 is provided with a first connecting hole communicating with the accommodating groove 221 , the first connecting hole is flat-mouthed, and the first connecting shaft 400 is passed through the first connecting hole and is adaptively connected to the first connecting hole.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1The second adapter 220 is provided with a first connection hole connected to the receiving groove 221, so that the first connection shaft 400 can be inserted into the first connection hole and tightly connected to the second adapter 220. At least one side wall of the first connection hole is flat-mouthed, and the outer peripheral wall of the first connection shaft 400 corresponding to the first connection hole is also flat-mouthed. The flat-mouthed design of the first connection hole helps to ensure a stable connection between the first connection shaft 400 and the second adapter 220, avoiding relative rotation between the first connection shaft 400 and the second adapter 220, so that the second adapter 220 can transmit power to the first connection shaft 400, and the first connection shaft 400 can effectively transmit power and motion to realize the rotation of the stirring paddle 300. In addition, due to the flat-mouth design of the outer peripheral wall of the first connecting hole and the first connecting shaft 400, while ensuring a stable connection between the first connecting shaft 400 and the second adapter 220, the second adapter 220 can move relative to the first connecting shaft 400 in the axial direction of the first connecting shaft 400 to enable the protrusion 211 to smoothly jump between two adjacent slots 222.

[0049] In one embodiment, the stirring device 10 further includes a first stopper, which is disposed at an end of the first connecting shaft 400 away from the stirring paddle 300 and abuts against the bottom of the accommodating groove 221 .

[0050] The first limiter (not shown in the figure) is arranged at one end of the first connecting shaft 400 away from the stirring paddle 300, and abuts against the bottom of the receiving groove 221, playing the role of limiting and fixing. Through the setting of the first limiter, the first connecting shaft 400 can be effectively prevented from excessive movement or separation from the receiving groove 221 during the stirring process, ensuring the normal operation of the stirring device 10. The first limiter further enhances the stability and safety of the stirring device 10. The first limiter can be a nut, which is screwed to the end of the first connecting shaft 400 away from the stirring paddle 300 and abuts against the bottom of the receiving groove 221; it can also be a latch, which is radially penetrated at the end of the first connecting shaft 400 away from the stirring paddle 300 and abuts against the bottom of the receiving groove 221; it can also be a ring plate, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first connecting shaft 400 and abuts against the bottom of the receiving groove 221, and the ring plate is fixed by screws.

[0051] In one embodiment, the connection assembly 100 includes a connection bracket 110 and a second connection shaft 120 . One end of the second connection shaft 120 is connected to the first adapter 210 , and the other end is connected to the connection bracket 110 . The connection bracket 110 is used to connect to a power output device.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The connecting bracket 110 plays a role of connection and support. The connecting bracket 110 connects the second connecting shaft 120 and the power output device to ensure that the stirring device 10 can effectively receive power and perform stirring operations. A fastening pad can also be provided between the connecting bracket 110 and the power output device to increase the friction between the connecting bracket 110 and the power output device, so that the connection between the connecting bracket 110 and the power output device is more stable.

[0053] One end of the second connecting shaft 120 is connected to the first adapter 210, and the other end is connected to the connecting bracket 110, so that the connection between the connecting assembly 100 and the adapter assembly 200 is more stable and coordinated. The stirring paddle 300 is connected to the power output device through the connecting assembly 100 and the adapter assembly 200, realizing power transmission and conversion, so that the stirring device 10 can efficiently complete the stirring task.

[0054] In one embodiment, the first adapter 210 is provided with a second connecting hole, which is flat-mouthed, and the second connecting shaft 120 is passed through the second connecting hole and is adaptably connected to the second connecting hole; the stirring device 10 also includes a second limiting member, which is provided at one end of the second connecting shaft 120 away from the connecting bracket 110 and abuts against the outer surface of the first adapter 210.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 The first adapter 210 is provided with a second connection hole, so that the second connection shaft 120 can be inserted into the second connection hole and tightly connected to the first adapter 210. At least one side wall of the second connection hole is flat-mouthed, and the outer peripheral wall of the second connection shaft 120 corresponding to the second connection hole is also flat-mouthed. The flat-mouthed design of the second connection hole helps to ensure a stable connection between the second connection shaft 120 and the first adapter 210, and prevents the second connection shaft 120 and the first adapter 210 from rotating relative to each other, so that the second connection shaft 120 can transmit power to the first adapter 210, and then can effectively transmit power to the stirring paddle 300, thereby realizing the rotation of the stirring paddle 300.

[0056] The second limiter (not shown in the figure) is arranged at one end of the second connecting shaft 120 away from the connecting bracket 110, and abuts against the outer surface of the first adapter 210, playing the role of limiting and fixing. By setting the second limiter, the second connecting shaft 120 can be effectively prevented from loosening and disengaging from the first adapter 210 during the stirring process, ensuring the normal operation of the stirring device 10. The second limiter further enhances the stability and safety of the stirring device 10. The specific setting of the second limiter refers to the first limiter, and will not be repeated here.

[0057] In other embodiments, the first adapter 210 and the second connecting shaft 120 may also be connected by bolt locking, welding, threading, etc.
