Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of small household appliances, and in particular to a stirring device and a food processor. Background Art

[0002] The food processor comprises a stirring device, a stirring bowl and a driving assembly. The driving assembly drives the stirring device to rotate in the stirring bowl. The stirring device is used, for example, for beating eggs.

[0003] See also Figure 7 A commonly used stirring device includes a connection end 19 and a plurality of stirring ribs 12 arranged around the connection end 19. The connection end 19 is used to connect to a driving assembly. Each stirring rib 12 is bent into a ring shape, and both ends of the ring-shaped stirring rib 12 are connected to the connection end, and each stirring rib 12 protrudes outward in the radial direction of the connection end.

[0004] Technicians have found that the stirring efficiency of the above stirring device is low and cannot better meet the needs of consumers. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to disclose a stirring device and a food processor. The stirring device has high stirring efficiency.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application discloses a stirring device. The stirring device comprises an outer frame and a plurality of transverse supporting ribs; the plurality of supporting ribs are arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction and connected to the outer frame to divide the space enclosed by the outer frame into multiple layers of stirring zones; each layer of the stirring zone is provided with vertical stirring ribs; the stirring ribs in the same layer are spaced apart from each other, and the stirring ribs in different layers are staggered in the transverse direction.

[0007] As set up above, since the stirring ribs located on the same layer are spaced apart from each other, and the stirring ribs located on different layers are staggered laterally, thus, for the stirring ribs on the same layer or the upper and lower adjacent layers or non-adjacent layers, the distribution positions of the stirring ribs are different, that is, the distances from the stirring ribs to the rotation center line of the driving device are not completely consistent, so that when each stirring rib acts on the stirring object, the flow rate of the stirring object is different, so that the convection of the stirring object is better, thereby high stirring efficiency, shortened stirring time and more uniform stirring, which can better meet the needs of consumers.

[0008] In some embodiments, the stirring ribs are arranged parallel to the vertical direction and / or inclined relative to the vertical direction.

[0009] As set up above, the stirring ribs are set parallel to the vertical direction, and / or, are set inclined relative to the vertical direction. The stirring ribs have good flow disturbance effect. Combined with the aforementioned lateral staggering of the stirring ribs, the stirring device has good flow disturbance effect, thereby having high stirring efficiency, shortening the stirring time and making the stirring more uniform.

[0010] In some embodiments, the stirring rib is inclined relative to the vertical direction and forms an acute angle with the vertical direction, and the acute angle is a, 0 degrees < a ≤ 60 degrees.

[0011] As set above, since 0 degrees < a ≤ 60 degrees, the turbulence effect of the stirring rib is good, thereby achieving high stirring efficiency, shortening the stirring time, and making the stirring more uniform. In addition, within the above-mentioned angle range, when the stirring rib is twisted, the side of the stirring rib can better guide the stirring object, so that the stirring object moves upward and expands the range of movement, and the convection between the stirring objects is better, thereby achieving high stirring efficiency, shortening the stirring time, and making the stirring more uniform.

[0012] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the stirring ribs are twisted about their axes.

[0013] As set up above, since the stirring ribs are twisted, the stirring object can move along the sides of the stirring ribs and be mixed with stirring objects at other places. Combined with the lateral staggering of the stirring ribs, the convection of the stirring object is better. In addition, the stirring ribs can play a turbulent role during the rotation process, thereby accelerating the mixing of the stirring object. Therefore, the stirring efficiency of the stirring device is high, the stirring time is shortened, and the stirring is more uniform.

[0014] In some embodiments, the stirring rib is twisted at an angle not exceeding 360 degrees.

[0015] As configured above, because the stirring ribs of the present application are twisted at an angle of no more than 360 degrees, when the stirring object is rotating at a high speed, the guiding effect of the side surfaces of the stirring ribs enables the stirring object to move along the side surfaces of the stirring ribs, thereby preventing the stirring object from splashing. Moreover, the stirring device can stir at a high speed, which makes the stirring efficiency of the stirring device high, shortens the stirring time, and makes the stirring more uniform.

[0016] In some embodiments, the stirring device includes a driving shaft, and along the axial direction of the driving shaft, the driving shaft is connected to multiple supporting ribs in sequence; twisted stirring ribs are provided on both sides of the driving shaft, wherein the twisting directions of the stirring ribs on both sides of the driving shaft are opposite, and the twisting directions of the multiple stirring ribs on the same side of the driving shaft are the same.

[0017] As set up above, since the torsion directions of the stirring ribs on both sides of the driving shaft are opposite, and the torsion directions of the multiple stirring ribs on the same side of the driving shaft are the same, if the stirring object is taken as a reference and it is assumed that the stirring object is stationary, after the stirring device rotates, the stirring ribs on one side leave and the stirring ribs on the other side collide with the stirring object and stir, which is equivalent to the stirring object being stirred multiple times. Therefore, the stirring efficiency is high, the stirring time is shortened, and the stirring is more uniform.

[0018] In some embodiments, the stirring rib is twisted at an angle c, 5 degrees ≤ c ≤ 20 degrees.

[0019] As set above, since 5 degrees ≤ c ≤ 20 degrees, during the rotation of the stirring device, the vortex is smaller, which is more conducive to the mixing of the stirring objects, thereby improving the stirring efficiency, shortening the stirring time, and making the stirring more uniform.

[0020] In some embodiments, the outer frame has a symmetrical structure relative to the rotation centerline of the stirring device, including a left support column and a right support column. Along the rotation centerline of the stirring device from top to bottom, the distance between the left support column and the right support column gradually decreases, and the lower end of the left support column is connected to the lower end of the right support column.

[0021] As set up as above, since the distance between the left support column and the right support column gradually decreases in the vertical downward direction, and the lower end of the left support column is connected to the lower end of the right support column, when this structure is applied to a food processor, the mixing bowl of the food processor also gradually decreases from top to bottom, so that it better matches the shape of the mixing bowl, thereby increasing the mixing efficiency of the mixing device, shortening the mixing time, and making the mixing more uniform.

[0022] In some embodiments, in the stirring device, at least the stirring ribs are made of plastic.

[0023] As set up as above, when the outer frame, support ribs and stirring ribs constitute a frame-type stirring device, the structural strength of the stirring device is high. Even if at least the material of the stirring ribs is set to plastic material, the structural stability of the stirring device can be ensured, and it is not easy to break and deform, thereby reducing costs and ensuring the structural stability of the stirring device.

[0024] In some embodiments, the stirring ribs provided in each stirring zone are distributed gradually densely from top to bottom along the rotation centerline of the stirring device.

[0025] As set up above, since the stirring ribs become gradually denser along the rotation center line from top to bottom, on the one hand, when the amount of the stirring object is small, the dense stirring ribs can be mixed with the stirring object, so that less food can be processed, and the stirring efficiency is high and the stirring is more uniform; on the other hand, when the amount of the stirring object is large, the stirring ribs at the bottom are dense, the turbulence and guiding effects are better, and the stirring object on the upper layer can be driven to move. Ultimately, the stirring efficiency is high, the stirring time is shortened, and the stirring is more uniform.

[0026] In some embodiments, a first stirring structure is disposed at the bottom of the outer frame, and the first stirring structure is symmetrical along the rotation center line of the stirring device.

[0027] As set up above, when the amount of the stirring object is small, the stirring object is located at the bottom of the stirring bowl, and the stirring object is stirred by the first stirring structure. Therefore, even if the amount of the stirring object is small, the stirring effect can be achieved by the first stirring structure, and the stirring device is more widely used.

[0028] In some embodiments, the stirring device is provided with a second stirring structure, which is located at the bottom of the outer frame and includes a plurality of stirring rods extending out of the stirring device.

[0029] As described above, when the amount of the stirring object is small, since the second stirring structure is located at the bottom of the outer frame, the second stirring structure can also stir the stirring object, and the stirring device is more widely used. Furthermore, the second stirring structure includes a plurality of stirring rods extending out of the stirring device, and the inner wall of the stirring bowl can be cleaned by the friction between the stirring rods and the inner wall of the stirring bowl.

[0030] In some embodiments, two second stirring structures are provided, and the two second stirring structures are symmetrical with respect to a rotation center line of the stirring device.

[0031] As configured above, since the two second stirring structures are symmetrical with respect to the rotation center line of the stirring device, the inner wall of the stirring bowl can be better cleaned, and when the amount of stirring object is small, the second stirring structure can better stir the stirring object.

[0032] In a second aspect, the present application discloses a food processor, which comprises any one of the aforementioned stirring devices, a stirring bowl, and a driving assembly, wherein the driving assembly drives the stirring device to rotate in the stirring bowl.

[0033] As configured above, the food processor at least has the beneficial effect of a stirring device, which will not be described in detail. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0043] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first related structure of the stirring device 10 proposed in the present application is illustrated. Figure 3 The second structure of the stirring device 10 proposed in the present application is illustrated. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The diagram illustrates the third structure of the stirring device 10 proposed in the present application. The stirring devices 10 of these three structures belong to different specific implementations of the present application. Although the structures are different, they can all make the convection effect between the stirring objects better, thereby improving the stirring efficiency and stirring effect.

[0044] The stirring device 10 proposed in the present application can achieve the function of beating eggs or stirring oil noodles, or can achieve both the function of beating eggs and stirring oil noodles, etc. Specifically, the stirring device 10 includes an outer frame 100 and a plurality of transversely arranged support ribs 13. The plurality of support ribs 13 are longitudinally spaced and connected to the outer frame 100 to divide the space enclosed by the outer frame 100 into multiple layers of stirring areas. Figure 1 and Figure 4 Four layers of stirring zones are shown schematically in the figure. In the embodiment of the present application, the support ribs 13 are arranged parallel to the horizontal direction and spaced longitudinally. However, it should be noted that the transversely arranged support ribs 13 are not limited to being arranged along the horizontal direction, and can also be arranged obliquely relative to the horizontal direction, etc., as long as a plurality of support ribs 13 are spaced apart to achieve the layering. Technicians can understand that the number of stirring zones can be set according to conditions such as the amount of stirring objects and the size of the mixing bowl, and is not limited to the four support ribs 13 dividing the space into four layers as shown in the figure. Each layer of stirring zone is provided with vertical stirring ribs 12. The stirring ribs 12 on the same layer are spaced apart from each other, and the stirring ribs 12 on different layers are staggered from each other in the transverse direction. Here, the mutual staggering can be as follows Figure 1 and Figure 4 The complete offset shown may also be a partial offset.

[0045] As set up above, since the stirring ribs 12 located on the same layer are spaced apart from each other, and the stirring ribs 12 located on different layers are staggered in the horizontal direction, for the stirring ribs 12 on the same layer or the upper and lower adjacent layers or the non-adjacent layers, the positions of the stirring ribs 12 are different, and the distances from the stirring ribs 12 to the rotation center line 111 of the stirring device are not completely consistent, so that when the stirring ribs 12 act on the proud version of the object, the flow rate of the stirring object is different, so that the convection of the stirring object is better, thereby improving the stirring efficiency, shortening the stirring time and making the stirring more uniform, which can better meet the needs of consumers. Finally, the support ribs 13, the outer frame 100 and the stirring ribs 12 will form a frame-type stirring device 10 according to the above-mentioned setting, which has a high structural strength and can well support the stirring ribs 12 to avoid breakage and deformation.

[0046] The stirring device 10 can stir a variety of foods, for example, it can beat eggs and stir noodles, and consumers do not need to purchase multiple products for various application scenarios.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present application, the stirring device further includes a driving shaft 11. The driving shaft 11 includes an extension section 110. Each supporting rib 13 is respectively connected to the extension section 110 and the outer frame 100. In some embodiments, the driving shaft 11 may also be without an extension section 110. In short, the function of the driving shaft 11 is at least to connect the stirring device to the machine head, so that the driving shaft 11 drives the stirring rib 12 to rotate under the action of a driving force. The driving force comes from a driving component of the food processor, for example, the driving component includes a motor and the like.

[0048] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 4 , each stirring rib 12 is arranged parallel to the vertical direction, that is, the stirring rib 12 is parallel to the rotation centerline 111 of the driving shaft 11. In the embodiment of the present application, the extension section 110 of the driving shaft 11 also serves as a component for supporting the stirring rib 12. Figure 3 In other embodiments, the stirring rib 12 is inclined relative to the vertical direction, for example, it is inclined at an acute angle relative to the rotation center line 111. It can be understood by technicians that the inclined setting can be that the stirring rib 12 is inclined toward the outside of the stirring device (that is, in a direction away from the driving shaft 11), Figure 1 The drawing direction is tilted to the right), and it can also be tilted toward the inside of the stirring device (that is, tilted toward the drive shaft 11, Figure 1 The convex direction of Figure 3 In other embodiments, among the stirring ribs 12, a portion of the stirring ribs 12 is arranged parallel to the vertical direction, and another portion of the stirring ribs 12 is arranged obliquely relative to the vertical direction.

[0049] As set up above, the stirring ribs are set parallel to the vertical direction, and / or are set obliquely relative to the vertical direction to achieve that the stirring zone is provided with vertical stirring ribs 12, and the stirring ribs have good flow disturbance effect. Combined with the aforementioned lateral staggering of the stirring ribs, the stirring device has good flow disturbance effect, thereby having high stirring efficiency, shortening the stirring time and making the stirring more uniform.

[0050] In some embodiments, the stirring rib 12 is inclined relative to the vertical direction and forms an acute angle with the vertical direction, the acute angle is a, 0 degrees < a ≤ 60 degrees, in the first case, it is inclined toward the inside of the stirring device, see Figure 3, the acute angle is a, 0 degrees < a ≤ 60 degrees, for example, 1 degree, 2 degrees, 3 degrees, 4 degrees, 5 degrees, 6 degrees, 7 degrees, 8 degrees, 9 degrees, 10 degrees, 15 degrees, 18 degrees, 20 degrees, 23 degrees, 25 degrees, 28 degrees, 30 degrees, 33 degrees, 38 degrees, 40 degrees, 45 degrees, 48 ​​degrees, 50 degrees, 53 degrees, 55 degrees, 58 degrees or 60 degrees. The second situation is that the stirring rib 12 is inclined toward the outside of the stirring device, and the acute angle is a, 0 degrees < a ≤ 60 degrees. Figure 3 Although it is shown that the inclination angles of the stirring ribs 12 are equal, the skilled person will appreciate that the inclination angles of the stirring ribs 12 may be completely unequal or partially equal.

[0051] As set above, since 0 degrees < a ≤ 60 degrees, the turbulence effect of the stirring rib is good, thereby achieving high stirring efficiency, shortening the stirring time, and making the stirring more uniform. In addition, within the above-mentioned angle range, when the stirring rib 12 is twisted, the side surface 121 of the stirring rib can better guide the stirring object, so that the stirring object moves upward and expands the range of motion, and the convection between the stirring objects is better, thereby achieving high stirring efficiency, shortening the stirring time, and making the stirring more uniform.

[0052] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 3 Among the plurality of stirring ribs 12, at least some of the stirring ribs 12 are twisted around their own axes ( Figure 6 The side surface 121 of the stirring rib is twisted at an angle c). When the twisted stirring rib 12 is arranged parallel to the vertical direction, the axis is parallel to the rotation centerline 111 of the stirring device. The twisted stirring rib 12 includes the twisted side surface 121 of the stirring rib. The axis is not limited to being the symmetry axis of the stirring rib 12, that is, the stirring rib 12 is not limited to being a symmetrical structure. Figure 2 , Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 In the stirring device 10 of the first structure and the stirring device 10 of the second structure shown in the figure, each stirring rib 12 is twisted around its own axis. Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the second stirring device shown, a portion of the stirring ribs 12 are twisted around their own axes, and another portion of the stirring ribs 12 are not twisted but are parallel to the rotation centerline 111 . Figures 1 to 5 In the stirring device 10 shown, each stirring rib 12 includes four stirring rib side surfaces 121. It is understood by technicians that the number of stirring rib side surfaces 121 is not limited. Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the stirring rib 12 is twisted as a whole between adjacent supporting ribs 13, so that both ends of the stirring rib 12 are respectively connected to the adjacent supporting ribs 13; or a section of the stirring rib 12 may be twisted.

[0053] As set up above, since the stirring rib 12 is twisted, the stirring object moves along the side 121 of the stirring rib and can be mixed with the stirring objects at other places. Combined with the lateral staggering of the stirring rib 12, the stirring object has better convection, and the stirring rib 12 will play a turbulent role during the rotation process, thereby accelerating the mixing of the stirring object (such as accelerating the mixing of egg white and egg yolk). Therefore, the stirring efficiency of the stirring device is high, the stirring time is shortened (such as reducing the time for beating eggs or stirring oil noodles), and the stirring is more uniform. Based on the role played by the twisting of the stirring rib 12, the angle at which the stirring rib 12 is twisted is not limited. The following describes the angle at which the stirring rib 12 is twisted in this application.

[0054] See also Figure 6 Combined with Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The stirring rib 12 is twisted at an angle c, which does not exceed 360 degrees, that is, c≤360 degrees.

[0055] During the stirring process, the rotation speed of the stirring device is usually high, and the torsion angle is greater than 360 degrees, which will cause the stirring rib to be twisted for more than one circle, and the stirring object will continue to move upward along the side of the stirring rib, and collide with different positions of the side of the stirring rib, thereby causing splashing. Because the torsion angle of the stirring rib side 121 of the present application does not exceed 360 degrees, when the stirring object (such as egg liquid) rotates at high speed, the guiding effect of the stirring rib side 121 makes the stirring object move along the stirring rib side 121, and will not collide with the stirring rib side 121. Therefore, it can prevent the stirring object from splashing under high-speed stirring, and the stirring device can stir at high speed, so that the stirring efficiency of the stirring device is high. Furthermore, the angle does not exceed 360 degrees, which is convenient for demolding when the stirring rib 12 is made of plastic material. Finally, because the stirring object moves along the side surface 121 of the stirring rib and can be mixed with stirring objects at other places, and the stirring rib 12 will play a turbulent role during the rotation, the combination of turbulence and guidance makes the convection between the stirring objects better, accelerates the mixing of the stirring objects (such as accelerating the mixing of egg white and egg yolk), so that the stirring efficiency of the stirring device 10 is high, the stirring time is shortened (such as reducing the time for beating eggs or stirring oil noodles), and the stirring is more uniform.

[0056] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5In the first stirring device 10 and the second stirring device 10, along the axial direction of the drive shaft 11, the drive shaft 11 (in this embodiment, the extension section 110 of the drive shaft 11) is sequentially connected to the plurality of support ribs 13. The twisted stirring ribs 12 are provided on both sides of the drive shaft 11, wherein the twisting directions of the plurality of stirring ribs on both sides of the drive shaft 11 are opposite, and the twisting directions of the plurality of stirring ribs 12 on the same side of the drive shaft 11 are the same; as shown in the figure, the stirring ribs 12 on the left side of the drive shaft 11 are twisted counterclockwise, and the stirring ribs 12 on the right side of the drive shaft 11 are twisted clockwise. Of course, the stirring ribs 12 on both sides of the drive shaft 11 can be symmetrically arranged, with the drive shaft 11 being the axis of symmetry; the stirring ribs 12 can also be asymmetrically arranged.

[0057] As set up above, since the torsion directions of the multiple stirring ribs 12 on both sides of the driving shaft 11 are opposite, and the torsion directions of the multiple stirring ribs 12 on the same side of the driving shaft 11 are the same, if the stirring object is taken as a reference and it is assumed that the stirring object is stationary, after the stirring device rotates, the stirring ribs 12 on one side leave and the stirring ribs 12 on the other side collide with the stirring object and stir, which is equivalent to the stirring object being stirred multiple times, thereby improving the stirring efficiency, shortening the stirring time, and making the stirring more uniform.

[0058] See also Figure 6 Combined with Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The stirring rib 12 is twisted at an angle c. Figure 6 In the figure, the dotted line f is parallel to the solid line F, which can be used to understand the angle c, that is, c is the angle between the bottommost cross section and the topmost cross section of the stirring rib 12. 5 degrees ≤ c ≤ 20 degrees. For example, 5 degrees, 7 degrees, 8 degrees, 9 degrees, 10 degrees, 11 degrees, 12 degrees, 13 degrees, 14 degrees, 15 degrees, 16 degrees, 17 degrees, 18 degrees, 19 degrees or 20 degrees.

[0059] As described above, since 5 degrees ≤ c ≤ 20 degrees, during the rotation of the stirring device, the vortex is smaller, which is more conducive to the mixing of the stirring object (such as egg liquid), thereby achieving high stirring efficiency, shortening the stirring time, and stirring more evenly. In addition, when the material of the stirring rib 12 is plastic material, 5 degrees ≤ c ≤ 20 degrees is also convenient for demoulding.

[0060] See also Figure 1 Combined with Figure 4, the outer frame 100 is symmetrically structured relative to the rotation center line of the stirring device, including a left support column 101 and a right support column 102. Along the rotation center line 111 of the stirring device 10 from top to bottom, the distance between the left support column 101 and the right support column 102 gradually decreases, and the lower end of the left support column 101 is connected to the lower end of the right support column 102. The gradual reduction is not limited to the case where the left support column 101 and the right support column 102 are both in an arc shape as shown in the figure. In other embodiments, the left support column 101 and the right support column 102 can also be composed of multiple sections of stirring ribs 12 connected to corresponding support ribs 13. For example, for the left support column 101, it can be composed of four sections of stirring ribs 12 connected to corresponding support ribs 13.

[0061] As described above, along the rotation center line 111 of the stirring device 10 from top to bottom, the distance between the left support column 101 and the right support column 102 gradually decreases, and the lower end of the left support column 101 is connected to the lower end of the right support column 102, so that the left support column 101 and the right support column 102 form an angle at the lower end, so that the strength and stability of the outer frame are higher. When this structure is applied to a chef machine, the mixing bowl of the chef machine also gradually decreases from top to bottom, so that it is more compatible with the shape of the mixing bowl, so that the stirring efficiency of the stirring device is high, the stirring time is shortened, and the stirring is more uniform.

[0062] In some embodiments, in the stirring device, at least the stirring ribs 12 are made of plastic.

[0063] As described above, when the outer frame 100, the support ribs 13 and the stirring ribs 12 form a frame-type stirring device 10, the structural strength of the stirring device 10 is high. Even if at least the stirring ribs 12 are made of plastic, the structure of the stirring device 10 can be guaranteed to be stable and not prone to breakage and deformation, thereby reducing costs and ensuring the structural stability of the stirring device and improving the stirring effect. Furthermore, the stirring ribs 12 are made of plastic, which is convenient for manufacturing the stirring ribs 12 or the stirring device 10, for example, it is easy to demold and easy to manufacture.

[0064] Of course, in other embodiments, the outer frame 100 or the support ribs 13 are also made of plastic, or the outer frame 100, the support ribs 13, and the stirring ribs 12 are all made of plastic, so as to further reduce the cost and also ensure the structural strength and stability of the stirring device 10.

[0065] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4In the first stirring device 10 and the third stirring device 10, the stirring ribs 12 arranged in each stirring zone are gradually densely distributed along the rotation center line 111 from top to bottom. Figure 1 As shown, the further downward, the smaller the intervals between the stirring ribs 12 in the lateral direction. When the stirring ribs 12 include the stirring ribs 12 without twisting and the stirring ribs 12 with twisting, the stirring ribs 12 refer to all the stirring ribs 12. When the stirring ribs 12 are all the stirring ribs 12 with twisting, the stirring ribs 12 refer to all the stirring ribs 12. In short, the gradually dense state refers to the distribution state of all the stirring ribs 12.

[0066] As set up above, since the stirring ribs 12 are gradually dense along the top-down direction of the rotation center line 111, on the one hand, when the amount of the stirring object is small, the dense stirring ribs 12 can be mixed with the stirring object (such as egg liquid), so that less food can be processed, and the stirring efficiency is high and the stirring is more uniform; on the other hand, when the amount of the stirring object is large, the stirring ribs 12 at the bottom are dense, and the turbulence and guiding effects are better, which can drive the stirring object in the upper layer to move, and finally, the stirring efficiency is improved, the stirring time is shortened, and the stirring is more uniform.

[0067] See also Figure 1 Combined with Figure 4 In the first stirring device 10 and the third stirring device 10, a first stirring structure 14 is disposed at the bottom of the outer frame 100 of the stirring device 10. The first stirring structure 14 is symmetrical along the rotation center line 111.

[0068] As configured above, when the amount of the stirring object is small, the stirring object is located at the bottom of the stirring bowl 20, and the stirring object is stirred by the first stirring structure 14. Therefore, even if the amount of the stirring object is small, such as an egg, the stirring effect can be achieved by the first stirring structure 14, and the stirring device 10 is more widely used.
