Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of noodle making machines, in particular to a safety switch structure of a drip cup of a noodle making machine. Background Art

[0002] The household noodle machine is a small household product made with modern technology based on traditional manual noodle rolling and cutting techniques.

[0003] The patent with publication number CN217771276U is a patent previously applied for by the applicant. The patent specification mentions a noodle machine, which includes a main machine, a mixing barrel and a dripping cup arranged on the main machine. A barrel cover is arranged at the upper port of the mixing barrel, and a water receiving groove is arranged on the barrel cover. A water receiving hole is arranged in the water receiving groove. The dripping hole of the dripping cup is located above the water receiving groove. After the water droplets in the dripping cup are in the water receiving groove, they drip into the mixing barrel through the water receiving hole for kneading noodles. The amount of water added is controlled by weighing the difference between the weight of the dripping cup before and after water filling. When the amount of water added meets the requirement, the valve on the dripping cup will be closed immediately to achieve accurate and quantitative water addition.

[0004] Such a noodle machine also has the following problem: when the barrel cover is not installed in place, if the user accidentally touches and opens the valve of the drip cup, water will flow out of the drip cup. At this time, the water on the drip cup cannot drip into the water receiving groove of the barrel cover, resulting in failure to add water normally. When these water drops on other positions of the barrel cover, they will also flow onto the main machine and the ground, which is not conducive to maintaining a hygienic noodle making environment.

In addition, the descriptions of "preferred", "sub-preferred", etc. in the utility model are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "preferred" or "sub-preferred" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The utility model proposes a safety switch structure of a dripping cup of a noodle machine, comprising a main machine 1, a dripping cup assembly 2 arranged on the main machine 1, a mixing barrel 3, and a barrel cover 4 rotatably installed at an upper end of the mixing barrel 3, the barrel cover 4 is provided with a water collecting tank 41 and a water drop hole 42 located at the bottom of the water collecting tank 41, the dripping cup assembly 2 has a dripping port 201 located above the barrel cover 4, and is characterized in that a switch assembly capable of turning on and off the power supply of the dripping cup assembly 2 is provided on the dripping cup assembly 2 or the main machine 1, and a switch triggering member 43 capable of triggering the switch assembly when the water collecting tank 41 rotates to below the dripping port 201 is provided on the barrel cover 4.

[0025] Specifically, the drip cup assembly 2 is in a “7” shape, and the switch assembly is arranged on the drip cup assembly 2 .

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the drip cup assembly 2 includes a cup holder 21 and a cup body 22 disposed at the upper end of the cup holder 21, the front portion of the cup body 22 has an extension portion 202 protruding from the front side surface of the cup holder 21, and the drip port 201 is located on the lower surface of the extension portion 202. The switch assembly includes a push rod assembly 6 mounted on the front side surface of the cup holder 21 so as to be movable up and down, and a power switch capable of turning on the power of the drip cup when the push rod assembly 6 moves downward, and the push rod assembly 6 is connected to an elastic member 7 capable of driving it to reset. A push inclined surface 601 is disposed at the upper end of the push rod assembly 6, and the switch trigger member 43 is a plate member disposed on the barrel cover 4 and extending downward, and when the switch trigger member 43 rotates forwardly with the barrel cover 4, the switch trigger member 43 presses the push inclined surface 601 to move the push rod assembly 6 downward. Refer to Figure 2 When the barrel cover 4 rotates in the forward direction, if you look down from above, it rotates clockwise; when the barrel cover 4 rotates in the reverse direction, if you look down from above, it rotates counterclockwise.

[0027] Reference Figure 3 The push rod assembly 6 includes a rod body 61 and a push block 62 located at the upper end of the rod body 61, and a push inclined surface 601 is provided on the push block 62. The elastic member 7 is a cylindrical spring, which is sleeved on the rod body 61, and the upper end of the cylindrical spring abuts against the lower surface of the push block 62, and the lower end of the cylindrical spring abuts against the limit plate 215 fixed on the cup holder 21.

[0028] The power switch mentioned above can be a Hall switch, a travel switch, a photoelectric induction switch, a magnetic control switch, etc. Taking the Hall switch as an example, it can be specifically configured as follows: a magnet 81 is provided at the lower end of the rod body 61, and a Hall element is provided inside the main body. When the push rod assembly 6 moves up and down with the magnet 81, it is sensed by the Hall element, and the Hall element transmits this signal to the central control chip, and then the power of the drip cup assembly 2 can be turned on and off.

[0029] When the power of the dripping cup assembly 2 is in the off state, the valve therein also remains in the closed state. When the push rod assembly 6 moves downward with the magnet 81, the power of the dripping cup assembly 2 is turned on. Then the user can issue a command through the control panel or voice to open the valve on the dripping cup assembly 2 and add water to the mixing barrel 3.

[0030] With such a safety switch structure, it can be ensured that the power of the dripping cup assembly 2 is turned on only when the water collecting groove 41 on the bucket cover 4 rotates to the bottom of the dripping port 201, and then the user can open the valve on the dripping cup assembly 2 to add water to the mixing bucket 3. It is prevented that the valve on the dripping cup assembly 2 is opened in advance, resulting in the water on the dripping cup being unable to drip into the water collecting groove 41 of the bucket cover 4.

[0031] Furthermore, a locking structure is provided between the mixing barrel 3 and the barrel cover 4 to limit the barrel cover 4 from rotating in the opposite direction after the switch trigger 43 presses down the push rod assembly 6 .

[0032] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the locking structure includes a first clamping block 301 disposed on the outer wall of the mixing barrel 3, and a second clamping block 431 disposed on the inner side of the switch trigger 43. During the forward rotation of the barrel cover 4, the second clamping block 431 will pass over the first clamping block 301 and reach the inner side of the first clamping block 301. During this process, the push rod assembly 6 is pressed down by the switch trigger 43 on the barrel cover 4. At this time, the power of the drip cup assembly 2 is turned on, and the second clamping block 431 can press against one side of the first clamping block 301 to limit the reverse rotation of the barrel cover 4, so that the push rod assembly 6 can remain in a pressed state.

[0033] In certain embodiments of the present invention, the above-mentioned locking structure may also adopt other structural forms. For example, the above-mentioned second locking block 431 is cancelled and a locking groove is provided on the inner side surface of the switch trigger 43. After the barrel cover 4 is rotated forward to the right position, the above-mentioned first locking block 301 is stuck in the locking groove, and the push rod assembly 6 can also be kept in the pressed state.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As a further improvement of the present invention, a guide groove 302 for guiding the rod body 61 is provided on the outer wall of the mixing barrel 3. A connecting block 303 is provided on the outer wall of the mixing barrel 3, a buckle groove 304 is provided on the connecting block 303, and a buckle 211 engaged with the buckle groove 304 is provided on the cup holder 21. The provision of the guide groove 302 can improve the smoothness of the upward and downward movement of the push rod assembly 6. The provision of the buckle 211 and the buckle groove 304 can connect the mixing barrel 3 and the cup holder 21 together to prevent the two from being separated under the action of external force or the elastic force of the elastic member 7.

[0035] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
