Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a kitchen food processing appliance, more specifically, to a lockable base and a food processing machine, and in particular to a base of a food processing machine such as a drum vegetable cutter. Background Art

[0002] At present, small household juicers, vegetable cutters, meat grinders and other food processing machines are favored by many consumers because of their flexible and convenient use. These food processing machines generally need to be fixed on the countertop for use. Common fixing methods are adsorption and clamping. The adsorption fixing method is mainly fixed on the countertop by the suction cup at the bottom. The fixing position can be flexibly adjusted, but there are certain requirements for the smoothness of the countertop; while the clamping fixing method is mainly clamped on the edge of the countertop by the C-shaped clamp at the bottom, so it is not affected by the smoothness of the countertop, but can only be fixed by the edge of the countertop, and the installation position is relatively limited. In comparison, the adsorption fixing method is more accepted by consumers.

[0003] Another feature of the above-mentioned food processing machine is that the food processing assembly and the base often adopt a detachable structure to facilitate the separate cleaning of the food processing assembly. For this reason, a locking structure needs to be set between the food processing assembly and the base to facilitate the fixing and disassembly of the two. In order to simplify the structure and operation process of the base, China Patent No. CN99125921.1 filed a patent application named "Food Processing Machine" on December 9, 1999, and the patent document was published on July 19, 2000. The food processing machine of the patent application includes a food processing unit and an independent base, which can fix the food processing unit in place, and the food processing unit and the base respectively have corresponding parts that can be releasably connected to each other. The base includes a bottom adsorption component, which is releasably connected to a support surface by adsorption, and the base also includes an inner locking component, which can move between a first position and a second position, in which the adsorption component is stretched to implement the adsorption and lock the food processing unit connected to the base, and in which the adsorption component and the food processing unit are released. The above patent application realizes the linkage of the adsorption of the adsorption component and the locking of the food processing unit through the internal locking component. However, since the base and the food processing unit adopt a sliding fit structure (usually a "T"-shaped groove and a "T"-shaped protrusion sliding fit) to achieve a detachable connection, the internal locking component can only be inserted into the corresponding hole at the bottom of the food processing unit from the stretching direction of the adsorption component to lock the horizontal sliding of the base and the food processing unit. Since there must be a matching gap between the base and the food processing unit, the two may not be completely locked and may shake relative to each other, which in turn affects the stable use of the food processor and greatly reduces the consumer's experience. Summary of the invention

[0053] In order to further understand the content of the utility model, the utility model is described in detail in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

[0054] [Example 1]

[0055] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a lockable base of the present embodiment includes a base body 1-1. The bottom of the base body 1-1 is provided with a fixing member 1-6 for mounting on a supporting surface. The supporting surface may be a desktop, a cabinet countertop, etc. The fixing member 1-6 is a component or device capable of fixing the base body 1-1 on the supporting surface, such as an existing C-shaped clamp or a suction cup, etc.; the upper part of the base body 1-1 is provided with an upper connecting portion for detachable connection with the food processing component 2, so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the base body 1-1 and the food processing component 2, and the food processing component 2 can be cleaned independently after being disassembled, etc.; the base body 1-1 also has a locking mechanism 3, and the locking mechanism 3 is used to fix the food processing component 2 on the base body 1-1. As shown Figures 3 to 5As shown, the locking mechanism 3 includes a locking member 3-1 and a locking member 3-3 which are arranged inside the base body 1-1 and can move up and down. The upper ends of the locking member 3-1 and the locking member 3-3 extend to the upper connecting portion. The locking member 3-3 is a component or device used to limit the removal of the food processing assembly 2 from the base body 1-1. The food processing assembly 2 is restricted to the upper connecting portion of the base body 1-1 through the locking member 3-3; the locking member 3-1 is a component or device used to apply a locking force between the food processing assembly 2 and the base body 1-1. The food processing assembly 2 is tightly fixed to the base body 1-1 through the locking member 3-1 to prevent the food processing assembly 2 from loosening or shaking on the base body 1-1. The locking member 3-1 and the locking member 3-3 move synchronously between the first position and the second position through the operating assembly, that is, the actions of the locking member 3-1 and the locking member 3-3 are synchronously controlled by the operating assembly, and the operating assembly can drive the locking member 3-1 and the locking member 3-3 to act together. In the first position, the locking member 3-3 extends out of the upper connection part and locks the disassembly direction of the food processing assembly 2, and the locking member 3-1 simultaneously applies a pressing force to the food processing assembly 2 in the up-down direction; in the second position, the locking member 3-3 and the locking member 3-1 simultaneously move in the opposite direction to loosen the food processing assembly 2 so that it can be disassembled or installed. The lockable base of this embodiment uses the locking member to lock the disassembly direction of the food processing assembly, and uses the locking member to simultaneously apply a pressing force to the food processing assembly in the up-down direction, so that the base and the food processing assembly are firmly locked and not easy to shake, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the food processing machine.

[0056] Reference Figure 5 , Figures 7 to 12As shown, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned operating assembly includes a switch member 3-2 and an eccentric shaft 3-4, both ends of the eccentric shaft 3-4 are rotatably supported on the side walls of the base body 1-1, the switch member 3-2 is located on the outer side of the base body 1-1 and is connected to the eccentric shaft 3-4 to control the rotation of the eccentric shaft 3-4, the switch member 3-2 can be in the form of a knob, a dial button, etc., in short, it can drive the eccentric shaft 3-4 to rotate; the lower end of the locking member 3-3 is provided with a first eccentric shaft hole 3-3-2, the lower end of the locking member 3-1 is provided with a second eccentric shaft hole 3-1-2, the first eccentric shaft hole 3-3-2 and the second eccentric shaft hole 3-1-2 can both be square holes, waist-shaped holes or special-shaped holes Cam hole, etc., the eccentric shaft 3-4 is provided with a first eccentric part 3-4-1 passing through the first eccentric shaft hole 3-3-2 and a second eccentric part 3-4-2 passing through the second eccentric shaft hole 3-1-2. The first eccentric part 3-4-1 and the second eccentric part 3-4-2 can be eccentric shafts, cams, dials, etc. that can rotate in the corresponding eccentric shaft holes and force the locking member 3-3 and the locking member 3-1 to move up and down. In the process of the switch member 3-2 driving the eccentric shaft 3-4 to rotate, the corresponding eccentric part on the eccentric shaft 3-4 can drive the locking member 3-3 and the locking member 3-1 to move up or down, thereby realizing the locking or unlocking between the base body 1-1 and the food processing assembly 2. The rotation of the eccentric shaft can synchronously control the up and down movement of the locking member 3-1 and the locking member 3-3, the structure is simple and compact, the operation is convenient, and the locking action is stable and reliable. Of course, the above-mentioned operating component is not limited to the form of an eccentric shaft, and other similar structures that can convert the operating action of the switch member 3-2 into the up and down movement of the locking member 3-3 and the locking member 3-1, such as a crankshaft, crank and other structures, can also be used.

[0057] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, as a better implementation method, in this embodiment, a switch member 3-2 is provided at each end of the eccentric shaft 3-4, and the two switch members 3-2 are fixedly connected to the eccentric shaft 3-4. When the switch member 3-2 on one side rotates, the switch member 3-2 on the other side rotates synchronously. This can meet the operating habits of different users and improve the operating flexibility of the base. For example, a user who is accustomed to using his right hand can operate the switch member 3-2 on the right, and a user who is accustomed to using his left hand can operate the switch member 3-2 on the left.

[0058] Furthermore, since the locking member 3-1 applies a clamping force to the food processing component 2 to fix it, the clamping force can be pressure or thrust, which can be determined according to the specific structural design. In order to ensure the stability of the upper and lower positions of the locking member 3-1, in the present embodiment, the second eccentric portion 3-4-2 has two protrusions that keep the locking member 3-1 in the first position and the second position. One protrusion can keep the locking member 3-1 moving downward, and the other protrusion can keep the locking member 3-1 moving downward. In this way, the upper and lower positions of the locking member 3-1 can be ensured to be stable when the switch member 3-2 is in the unlocked or locked position, thereby avoiding affecting the installation of the food processing component on the base in the unlocked state.

[0059] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in order to facilitate the support and installation of the eccentric shaft 3-4, in this embodiment, a support hole 1-8 is provided on the side wall of the base body 1-1, and a support block 1-9 for supporting the eccentric shaft 3-4 is embedded in the support hole 1-8. A side cover plate 1-10 fixed to the base body 1-1 is provided on the outside of the support block 1-9, and a limiting groove 1-10a is provided on the side cover plate 1-10. The switch member 3-2 has a limiting block 3-2a that can move in the limiting groove 1-10a. The above-mentioned support structure of the eccentric shaft 3-4 has a simple structural design, is convenient for the molding of each component, and is convenient for assembly and manufacturing, which is conducive to ensuring the support stability and installation accuracy of the eccentric shaft 3-4, and can better realize the rotation limit of the switch member 3-2. Specifically, the shape of the support hole 1-8 can be designed to be non-circular, such as a "D" shape. The cross-sectional shape of the support block 1-9 is adapted to the shape of the support hole 1-8. A limiting edge body is provided at the outer side. The center of the support block 1-9 is provided with an axial hole for the eccentric shaft 3-4 to pass through. In addition, a cover groove is formed on the outer side wall of the base body 1-1. When installing, the support block 1-9 is first inserted into the support hole 1-8 from the outside to the inside, and then the side cover plate 1-10 is covered on the cover groove. The side cover plate 1-10 is used to limit the support block 1-9 to prevent the support block 1-9 from falling off. The side cover plate 1-10 makes the outer surface of the base body 1-1 neat and beautiful. The switch member 3-2 can be connected to the eccentric shaft 3-4 by a pin shaft, and the limit block 3-2a on the switch member 3-2 can be just inserted into the limit groove 1-10a. The limit groove 1-10a is fan-shaped, so that the switch member 3-2 can only rotate within the range of the limit groove 1-10a.

[0060] [Example 2]

[0061] The basic structure and working principle of the lockable base of this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment, except that:

[0062] This embodiment is particularly suitable for the base 1 in which the fixing member 1-6 is a suction cup type adsorption component. Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing member 1-6 is an adsorption member arranged at the bottom of the base body 1-1, and the adsorption member is connected to the lower end of the locking member 3-3. In the first position, the locking member 3-3 stretches the adsorption member upward to form an adsorption force; in the second position, the locking member 3-3 moves downward to release the adsorption member. In this way, by connecting the adsorption member at the bottom of the base with the locking member 3-3, a linkage is formed between the base adsorption fixation and the food processing assembly 2 locking. The linkage action of the locking member 3-3, the locking member 3-1 and the adsorption member makes the operation simpler and more convenient, and the structural design is simple and compact.

The edge of the adsorption component is supported at the bottom of the base body 1-1, and the middle part is connected to the locking member 3-3. When in the unlocked state, the locking member 3-3 is in the lower stroke position, at which time the locking member 3-3 does not pull the adsorption component, and the adsorption component does not generate adsorption force on the support surface; when in the locked state, the locking member 3-3 is in the upper stroke position, at which time the locking member 3-3 pulls the adsorption component upward, so that it generates negative pressure suction with the support surface and is firmly adsorbed and fixed on the support surface. It should be understood that in order to ensure that the switch member 3-2 remains self-locking in the locked state, when the switch member 3-2 rotates to the locked state that drives the adsorption component to generate suction, the first eccentric portion 3-4-1 on the eccentric shaft 3-4 passes the highest point, and forms a limit through the above-mentioned limit block 3-2a and the limit groove 1-10a, thereby realizing the self-locking of the adsorption component. Normally, the rotation angle of the switch member 3-2 is greater than 90°, for example, it can be about 95°, which can ensure the stability of the switch member 3-2 in the locked and unlocked states, especially ensure the self-locking of the adsorption state of the adsorption component.

[0063] The lockable base of this embodiment can simultaneously control the fixation of the fixing member 1-6 and the support surface and the locking of the base 1 and the food processing assembly 2 when the unlocking or locking control is performed by the operating component, so that the food processor is more stable and reliable to use, and the operation is simple and convenient. The above-mentioned adsorption component is a suction cup, and the center of the suction cup has an adsorption rod 1-6-1, and the adsorption rod 1-6-1 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the locking member 3-3. Specifically, a split structure can be adopted between the adsorption rod 1-6-1 and the locking member 3-3, and the two can be fixed by screws. The adsorption rod 1-6-1 and the locking member 3-3 adopt a split connection structure, which reduces the difficulty of making the adsorption rod 1-6-1 and the locking member 3-3.

[0064] [Example 3]

[0065] The basic structure and working principle of the lockable base of this embodiment are the same as those of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, except that:

[0066] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper connection portion includes an upper support 1-2 that can contact and cooperate with the food processing component 2. The upper surface contour of the upper support 1-2 is adapted to the bottom shape of the cylinder 2-1 of the food processing component 2, so that the cylinder 2-1 of the food processing component 2 can be stably supported on the upper support 1-2. Commonly, the cylinder 2-1 is a cylindrical or conical cylinder structure, and the upper support 1-2 is also concave. The upper support 1-2 has a first plug-in portion 1-3 that can be detachably plugged with the second plug-in portion 2-3 on the food processing component 2 along an insertion direction. The first plug-in portion 1-3 and the second plug-in portion 2-3 are connected to each other to achieve the connection between the food processing component 2 and the base 1. At this time, the food processing component 2 can be removed from the base 1 in the reverse direction. The plug-in and pull-out direction between the first plug-in portion 1-3 and the second plug-in portion 2-3 is generally horizontal or nearly horizontal, and can be roughly perpendicular to the up and down movement direction of the locking member 3-3. The upper end of the locking piece 3-3 has a locking tongue 3-3-1, and the first plug-in portion 1-3 has a locking tongue slot 1-4 for the locking tongue 3-3-1 at the upper end of the locking piece 3-3 to pass through, and the locking tongue 3-3-1 can extend out of the first plug-in portion 1-3 through the locking tongue slot 1-4, and the bottom of the second plug-in portion 2-3 has a locking hole 2-6 corresponding to the position of the locking tongue slot 1-4. In the above-mentioned first position, that is, the locking position, the locking tongue 3-3-1 can extend into the locking hole 2-6 through the locking tongue slot 1-4. At this time, the freedom of reverse disassembly of the food processing component 2 on the base 1 is limited by the locking tongue 3-3-1, thereby realizing the locking of the food processing component 2 on the base 1. The upper end of the locking member 3-1 is provided with a fastening portion 3-1-1, and the first plug-in portion 1-3 also has a side notch 1-7 for the fastening portion 3-1-1 at the upper end of the locking member 3-1 to pass through. The fastening portion 3-1-1 can be pushed upward on the second plug-in portion 2-3, and can also be pressed downward on the second plug-in portion 2-3, so that the first plug-in portion 1-3 and the second plug-in portion 2-3 are pressed against each other, avoiding shaking between the two due to the matching gap. It is precisely because the locking member 3-1 realizes the locking of the food processing component 2 on the base 1 that a larger matching gap can be designed between the first plug-in portion 1-3 and the second plug-in portion 2-3 than the existing structure, further making the disassembly and assembly operation of the first plug-in portion 1-3 and the second plug-in portion 2-3 easier and more labor-saving. With the above design, the installation and disassembly between the food processing component 2 and the base 1 are simpler, and the disassembly and assembly operation is quick and convenient.

[0067] Reference Figures 1 to 6As shown, specifically in this embodiment, the first mating part 1-3 is a "convex" shaped slot with ribs 1-3a on both sides, and the second mating part 2-3 is a plug block with flanges 2-4 on both sides. The plug block can be inserted along the opening direction of the slot, and the flanges 2-4 and ribs 1-3a are used to form a limit of the up and down and left and right freedom. The plug block and the end of the slot are against each other, which also limits the freedom of the insertion direction of both. At this time, the plug block and the slot only have the freedom of insertion or extraction in one direction. A locking member 3-1 is provided on each side of the first mating part 1-3, and the fastening part 3-1-1 of the locking member 3-1 is located at the corresponding rib 1-3a. The fastening part 3-1-1 is a hook-shaped structure. In the first position, the locking member 3-1 moves downward and presses down the flange 2-4 of the second mating part 2-3 through the fastening part 3-1-1. With this structure, the two locking members 3-1 make the locking force more balanced, the locking more stable, and the structural design is simple, and the hook-shaped fastening portion can stably press the flange 2-4 of the second mating portion 2-3. The side notch 1-7 extends all the way to the upper part of the rib 1-3a, and the fastening portion 3-1-1 forms a movable rib. When locking, the locking member 3-1 moves downward, and the fastening portion 3-1-1 is used to press the flange 2-4. Of course, it is also possible to design the locking member 3-1 to push up to lock the flange 2-4 against the retaining edge 1-3a, but in the present embodiment, designing the locking member 3-1 to pull down has the following advantages: when the locking member 3-1 is pulled down, the force exerted by the locking member 3-1 on the eccentric shaft 3-4 is upward, and the force exerted by the locking member 3-3 connected to the adsorption component on the eccentric shaft 3-4 is downward, so that the force on the eccentric shaft 3-4 can be partially balanced, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the eccentric shaft 3-4 and reducing the deformation or damage of the eccentric shaft 3-4 due to excessive force in the same direction.

[0068] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, there is also a locking structure between the first plug-in part 1-3 and the second plug-in part 2-3 for ensuring that the two are plugged in and installed in place. Specifically, the locking structure can be a first locking part 1-5 arranged on the side wall of the first plug-in part 1-3 (slot) and a second locking part 2-5 arranged on the side wall of the second plug-in part 2-3 (flange 2-4). One of the first locking part 1-5 and the second locking part 2-5 is a convex rib and the other is a groove. After the first plug-in part 1-3 and the second plug-in part 2-3 are plugged in place, the first locking part 1-5 and the second locking part 2-5 are locked together, which can ensure that the food processing component 2 is plugged in place on the base 1 and ensure the connection reliability of the two.

[0069] Further references Figures 5 to 12As shown, in the present embodiment, a guide member 3-5 is further provided inside the base body 1-1. The guide member 3-5 can be fixed to the inner upper part of the base body 1-1 by screws. The middle part of the guide member 3-5 has a through hole 3-5-1 for the above-mentioned locking tongue 3-3-1 to pass through. The guide member 3-5 also has a side wall 3-5-2. The whole structure can be in a "U" shape. The side wall 3-5-2 has a guide groove 3-5-3. The locking member 3-1 has a guide rib 3-1-3 that cooperates with the guide groove 3-5-3 for sliding guidance. The guide rib 3-1-3 and the guide groove 3-5-3 can adopt T-slots or dovetail grooves for sliding cooperation, which can ensure the stability of the up and down movement of the locking member 3-1 and prevent the locking member 3-1 from deviating and affecting the installation of the food processing assembly on the base. The provision of the guide rib 3-1-3 on the locking member 3-1 can also improve the structural strength of the locking member 3-1. In addition, as Figures 7 to 9 as well as Fig.11 As shown, the upper end of the locking piece 3-3 is also provided with a plug-in column 3-3-3, and the inner upper part of the base body 1-1 is also provided with a socket 1-1-1 which can be plugged with the plug-in column 3-3-3. The plug-in column 3-3-3 and the socket 1-1-1 can be plugged with each other, which plays a guiding role for the locking piece 3-3, and further ensures the stability of the up and down movement of the locking piece 3-3.

[0070] [Example 4]

[0071] This embodiment relates to a food processing machine. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the food processing machine includes a food processing assembly 2, and the food processing assembly 2 includes a cylinder 2-1 and a tool unit arranged in the cylinder 2-1. The structural form of the tool unit varies according to the purpose of the food processing machine. The cylinder 2-1 is provided with a hopper 2-2 for putting food into the cylinder 2-1. The food processing machine also includes the lockable base 1 described in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 or embodiment 2 or embodiment 3, and the cylinder 2-1 of the food processing machine is detachably mounted on the lockable base 1. The above-mentioned food processing machine is adopted, so that the food processing assembly 2 is firmly and stably locked on the base 1, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the food processing machine.

[0072] The food processing machine in this embodiment can be a drum vegetable cutter, a meat grinder, a juicer, etc. Correspondingly, the tool unit is one of a drum vegetable cutter tool assembly, a meat grinder tool assembly, and a juicer assembly. The specific structure of the above-mentioned food processing assembly 2 is similar to the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0073] Figures 9 to 12 The schematic diagram of the lockable base 1 in the unlocked and locked states is shown. Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the use process of the food processing machine of this embodiment is now described with the best implementation method:

[0074] When in use, the cylinder 2-1 of the food processing assembly 2 is installed on the upper support 1-2 of the base body 1-1 through the plug-in cooperation of the second plug-in part 2-3 and the first plug-in part 1-3. At this time, the locking member 3-1 and the locking member 3-3 are in Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The unlocked state, that is, the fastening portion 3-1-1 of the locking member 3-1 is in the upper stroke position, the locking tongue 3-3-1 of the locking member 3-3 is in the lower position, and the cylinder 2-1 can be freely plugged in and out of the base body 1-1; when locking is required, the rotating switch member 3-2 drives the eccentric shaft 3-4 to rotate, and the eccentric shaft 3-4 drives the locking member 3-3 to move upward and the locking member 3-1 to move downward, so that the locking tongue 3-3-1 of the locking member 3-3 is inserted into the locking hole 2-6 at the bottom of the cylinder 2-1, and the fastening portion 3-1-1 of the locking member 3-1 is pressed downward on the corresponding side flange 2-4 of the second plug-in portion 2-3, which not only limits the withdrawal of the cylinder 2-1 through the locking tongue 3-3-1, but also presses and fixes the cylinder 2-1 on the base body 1-1 through the fastening portion 3-1-1, thereby ensuring the overall structural stability of the food processing machine. When the locking member 3 - 3 moves upward, the suction cup at the bottom of the base body 1 - 1 is pulled simultaneously to generate negative pressure suction, thereby the food processing machine is synchronously fixed on the support surface.

[0075] The utility model provides a lockable base and a food processing machine, which utilizes a locking piece to lock the disassembly direction of the food processing component, and simultaneously utilizes the locking piece to synchronously apply a tightening force to the food processing component in the up and down directions, so that the base and the food processing component are firmly locked and not easy to shake, thereby improving the use stability and reliability of the food processing machine; in addition, the adsorption component at the bottom of the base can be connected to the locking piece to form a linkage between the base adsorption and fixation and the locking of the food processing component, and through the linkage of the locking piece, the locking piece and the adsorption component, the operation is simpler and more convenient, and the structural design is simple and compact.

[0076] The above schematically describes the present invention and its implementation methods, which are not restrictive. The drawings show only one implementation method of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if ordinary technicians in the field are inspired by it and design structural methods and embodiments similar to the technical solution without creative design without departing from the purpose of the present invention, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
