[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art of the present technology to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "middle", "vertical", "horizontal", "lateral", "longitudinal", etc. indicate the orientation or state relationship based on the orientation or state relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are mainly used to better describe the present application and its embodiments, and are not used to limit that the indicated device, element or component must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0029] Moreover, in addition to being able to represent the orientation or state relationship, some of the above terms may also be used to represent other meanings. For example, the term "upper" may also be used to represent a certain attachment relationship or connection relationship in some cases. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of these terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] In addition, terms such as "first", "second", etc. are mainly used to distinguish different devices, components or constituent parts (the specific types and structures may be the same or different), and are not used to indicate or imply the relative importance and quantity of the indicated devices, components or constituent parts. Thus, features defined with "first", "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0031] In addition, unless otherwise clearly specified or limited, terms such as "mounted", "connected", "coupled", "fixed", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it may be the communication inside two components, or it may be only surface contact. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0032] As certain terms are used in the description and claims to refer to specific components, those skilled in the art should understand that hardware manufacturers may use different terms to refer to the same component. The description and claims do not use the difference in names as a way to distinguish components, but use the difference in functions of components as the criterion for distinction. As the term "comprising" mentioned throughout the description and claims is an open-ended term, it should be interpreted as "including but not limited to"; "substantially" means that those skilled in the art can solve the technical problem within a certain error range and basically achieve the technical effect.

[0033] Please also refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in the embodiment of the present application, a food processing device 100 is provided, which is used for processing food. For example, it may have functions such as stirring or / and breaking the food. In this embodiment, taking the food processing device 100 as an ice cream machine as an example, it will be described in detail. The food processing device 100 includes a housing 10, an inner container 11, a food processing cutter 12, a driving member 13 and a transmission mechanism 14. The housing 10 is provided with an inner cavity 101, and the inner cavity 101 is used to accommodate other components of the food processing device 100. As a specific example, in this embodiment, the housing 10 is generally in a cuboid shape. In other embodiments, the housing 10 may also be in a cube shape, a cylinder shape or even an irregular shape, etc., and no limitation is made thereto.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2, the inner container 11 is a barrel-shaped structure. The inner container 11 is used to hold the ingredients required for making ice cream, such as cream, butter, cheese, nuts, fruits, etc. The inner container 11 not only serves to hold the ingredients to be processed, but also provides a place for the processing of the ingredients. The food processing cutter 12 is arranged in the inner container 11. The food processing cutter 12 is used to process the ingredients in the inner container 11, such as stirring and mixing. The driving member 13 is connected to the housing 10 and is located in the inner cavity 101. The transmission mechanism 14 is arranged outside the housing 10 and is in transmission connection between the driving member 13 and the food processing cutter 12. The driving member 13 is in transmission connection with the food processing cutter 12 through the transmission mechanism 14, so as to drive the food processing cutter 12 to rotate to process the food. Among them, the driving member 13 can be a motor or a combination of a motor and a speed reducer. The transmission mechanism 14 is detachably connected to the driving member 13, and the transmission mechanism 14 is detachably connected to the food processing cutter 12.

[0035] With the above arrangement, since the driving member 13 is arranged inside the housing 10, the space occupied when the driving member 13 is arranged outside the housing 10 can be saved, which is beneficial to reducing the overall volume of the food processing device 100; since the transmission mechanism 14 is detachably connected to both the driving member 13 and the food processing cutter 12, the transmission mechanism 14 can be detached and stored separately after use, so the volume of the food processing device 100 can be reduced, which is convenient for storing and transporting the food processing device 100.

[0036] Please also refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, in some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a detachably connected housing body 102 and a top cover 103. For example, the housing body 102 and the top cover 103 can be detachably connected by the cooperation of a snap and a slot, or fixedly connected by fasteners such as screws / bolts. The specific connection method between the two is not limited. The housing body 102 is the main part of the housing 10. An installation opening 104 is provided on the housing body 102, and the installation opening 104 communicates with the inner cavity 101. The inner container 11 is arranged corresponding to the installation opening 104, and the top cover 103 covers and closes the installation opening 104. As a specific example, in this embodiment, the installation opening 104 is provided on the top wall of the housing body 102, and the installation opening 104 is generally circular. In other embodiments, the installation opening 104 can also be any shape such as rectangular, triangular, etc., which is not limited. The food processing cutter 12 is rotatably connected to the side of the top cover 103 facing the inner container 11. At least part of the structure of the food processing cutter 12 penetrates through the top cover 103 and is in transmission connection with the transmission mechanism 14, so that the driving member 13 can drive the food processing cutter 12 to rotate and work. Through the above arrangement, when the user adds ingredients into the inner container 11, the top cover 103 can be detached and removed from the installation opening 104. After the ingredients are added, the top cover 103 is connected to the housing body 102 to cover and close the installation opening 104; moreover, the user can also detach the top cover 103 to clean the inner container 11 and the food processing cutter 12.

[0037] Please also refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the food processing device 100 further includes a transmission connector 15, and the transmission connector 15 is connected to the output shaft of the driving member 13. As a specific example, the driving member 13 is fixedly connected to the housing 10 by fasteners such as screws / bolts and is located in the inner cavity 101. The output shaft of the driving member 13 is vertically arranged along the direction of gravity. The transmission connector 15 is arranged substantially coaxially with the output shaft of the driving member 13, and the transmission connector 15 penetrates through the housing 10. The transmission mechanism 14 includes a transmission input shaft 141. One end of the transmission input shaft 141 is in transmission connection with the food processing cutter 12, and the other end is detachably connected to the transmission connector 15. The transmission input shaft 141 is arranged coaxially with the transmission connector 15. Through the above arrangement, the transmission connector 15 realizes the transmission connection between the driving member 13 inside the housing 10 and the transmission mechanism 14 outside the housing 10.

[0038] In some embodiments, a first connection groove 151 is provided at one end of the transmission connecting member 15 away from the driving member 13. A first clamping block 152 is provided on the inner sidewall of the first connection groove 151. One end of the transmission input shaft 141 is inserted into the first connection groove 151. A second clamping block 142 is provided on the sidewall of the transmission input shaft 141. The second clamping block 142 and the first clamping block 152 are arranged side by side along the circumferential direction of the transmission input shaft 141. As a specific example, in this embodiment, the first connection groove 151 is a circular groove coaxially arranged with the transmission connecting member 15. A plurality of first clamping blocks 152 are spaced apart on the inner sidewall of the first connection groove 151. The number of the second clamping blocks 142 is the same as that of the first clamping blocks 152. When the transmission input shaft 141 is inserted into the first connection groove 151, the plurality of second clamping blocks 142 and the plurality of first clamping blocks 152 are distributed in one-to-one correspondence. The second clamping block 142 and the first clamping block 152 are arranged side by side along the circumferential direction of the transmission input shaft 141. When the driving member 13 drives the transmission connecting member 15 to rotate, the first clamping block 152 will push the second clamping block 142 to move, thereby driving the transmission input shaft 141 to rotate. In some other embodiments, the first connection groove 151 can also be a groove of any shape other than a circular groove (for example, a rectangular groove, a polygonal groove, etc.). At this time, the first clamping block 152 does not need to be provided in the first connection groove 151, and the second clamping block 142 does not need to be provided on the transmission input shaft 141 either. As long as at least part of the structure of the transmission input shaft 141 is inserted into the first connection groove 151 and fits with the inner sidewall of the first connection groove 151, the transmission connection between the driving member 13 and the transmission input shaft 141 can be realized.

[0039] Please also refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in some embodiments, the transmission mechanism 14 further includes a transmission output shaft 143. One end of the transmission output shaft 143 is in transmission connection with the transmission input shaft 141, and the other end is detachably connected to the food processing tool 12. As a specific example, the transmission output shaft 143 is arranged vertically along the gravity direction. When the transmission output shaft 143 is driven to rotate by the driving member 13, the transmission output shaft 143 can drive the food processing tool 12 to rotate, thereby realizing the transmission connection between the driving member 13 and the food processing tool 12.

[0040] In some embodiments, the food processing cutter 12 includes a stirring rotating shaft 121 and a stirring member 122. The stirring rotating shaft 121 is generally in a rod-like structure, and the stirring rotating shaft 121 is substantially perpendicular to the bottom wall of the inner container 11. The stirring rotating shaft 121 is drivingly connected to the driving output shaft 143. The stirring member 122 is the main structure of the food processing cutter 12 for performing the stirring operation. A plurality of stirring members 122 are provided, and the plurality of stirring members 122 are arranged at intervals in sequence on the outer periphery of the stirring rotating shaft 121 and are respectively connected to the stirring rotating shaft 121. As a specific example, in this embodiment, two stirring members 122 are provided. In other embodiments, any number of stirring members 122, such as three, four, five, etc., can also be provided. The stirring member 122 is connected to the stirring rotating shaft 121 and extends in a direction close to the inner side wall of the inner container 11. The stirring rotating shaft 121 is detachably connected to the driving output shaft 143. Through the above arrangement, the driving output shaft 143 and the stirring rotating shaft 121 are detachably drivingly connected, so that the driving mechanism 14 and the food processing cutter 12 are detachably drivingly connected. When the stirring rotating shaft 121 is driven to rotate by the driving member 13, the stirring member 122 can fully stir the ingredients in the inner container 11 to make the various ingredients evenly mixed; in addition, the structural strength and stability of the food processing cutter 12 can also be improved.

[0041] In some embodiments, the stirring member 122 includes a stirring portion 1221, a scraper 1222, and a support portion 1223. The stirring portion 1221 is the main part of the stirring member 122 for stirring food. One end of the stirring portion 1221 is connected to the stirring shaft 121, and the other end extends toward the inner side wall of the inner pot 11. The scraper 1222 is connected to one end of the stirring portion 1221 away from the stirring shaft 121. The scraper 1222 is connected to the stirring shaft 121 through the stirring portion 1221. The scraper 1222 extends to the bottom of the inner pot 11 along the axial direction of the stirring shaft 121. When the food processing knife 12 rotates, the scraper 1222 is used to scrape off the food attached to the inner side wall of the inner pot 11 so that the food can be fully stirred and mixed. As a specific example, in this embodiment, the scraper 1222 is a roughly rectangular plate-like structure. In other embodiments, the scraper 1222 can also be a square, parallelogram, or other plate-like structure. The support portion 1223 is connected to the bottom of the scraper 1222 and abuts against the inner bottom wall of the inner pot 11. The support portion 1223 is used to support the entire food processing knife 12 to prevent the food processing knife 12 from tilting during the rotation process. The support portion 1223 can also support the food processing knife 12 to ensure that the food processing knife 12 is stably connected to the transmission mechanism 14. In this embodiment, the support portion 1223 is a columnar structure protruding relative to the bottom of the scraper 1222, one end of which is connected to the bottom end of the support portion 1223, and the other end abuts against the inner bottom wall of the inner pot 11. In other embodiments, the support portion 1223 can also be a block structure, a plate structure, or any other structure, which is not limited to this.

[0042] Please continue reading Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7, in some embodiments, a coupling nut 123 is embedded at one end of the stirring rotating shaft 121, and the coupling nut 123 is exposed outside the housing 10. The coupling nut 123 can be a nut in any form such as a hexagonal nut or an octagonal nut. The coupling nut 123 is provided with a second connection groove 124. One end of the transmission output shaft 143 is inserted into the second connection groove 124. The side wall of the transmission output shaft 143 is provided with spiral ribs 125, and the inner side wall of the second connection groove 124 is provided with spiral grooves 126 adapted to the spiral ribs 125. The rotation direction of the stirring rotating shaft 121 during operation is the same as that of the spiral ribs 125. Through the above settings, since the spiral ribs 125 are engaged and clamped with the spiral grooves 126, the transmission output shaft 143 and the stirring rotating shaft 121 can be detachably connected for transmission, and it can also prevent the food processing tool 12 from completely falling out of the engagement height with the transmission output shaft 143 in some special cases (such as collision, shaking, jamming and deviation, etc.); in addition, when the stirring rotating shaft 121 rotates and works, since the rotation direction of the spiral ribs 125 is the same as that of the stirring rotating shaft 121, the connection between the stirring rotating shaft 121 and the transmission output shaft 143 will be tighter, thereby ensuring the stable connection and efficient transmission between the stirring rotating shaft 121 and the transmission output shaft 143.

[0043] It should be noted that when the user connects the transmission mechanism 14 to the food processing tool, the food processing tool needs to be first installed inside the inner tank 11, and then the transmission output shaft 143 of the transmission mechanism 14 is inserted into the second connection groove 124 of the coupling nut 123. As the transmission output shaft 143 is continuously inserted into the second connection groove 124, the food processing tool rotates continuously in the inner tank 11 until the transmission output shaft 143 is completely inserted into the second connection groove 124, and the food processing tool stops rotating and completes the transmission connection with the transmission mechanism 14. Similarly, when the user needs to disassemble the transmission mechanism 14 from the food processing tool, the transmission output shaft 143 needs to be moved in a direction away from the second connection groove 124. At this time, the food processing tool rotates in the reverse direction until the transmission output shaft 143 completely moves out of the second connection groove 124.

[0044] In some embodiments, a magnet 127 is provided at one end of the transmission output shaft 143 close to the coupling nut 123. The magnet 127 can be directly disposed on the surface of the transmission output shaft 143 or can be embedded in the transmission output shaft 143. The coupling nut 123 can be made of a soft magnetic material such as carbon steel, or can be made of other magnetic materials. The magnet 127 is used to adsorb the coupling nut 123. Through the above settings, the transmission output shaft 143 and the stirring rotating shaft 121 are not only connected for transmission through the spiral ribs 125 and the spiral grooves 126, but also can be magnetically connected through the magnet 127, which can further improve the stability and reliability of the connection between the food processing tool 12 and the transmission mechanism 14.

[0045] Please also refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the transmission output shaft 143 and the transmission input shaft 141 are arranged in parallel. For example, in the present embodiment, both the transmission output shaft 143 and the transmission output shaft 143 are vertically arranged. Through the above arrangement, the height of the transmission mechanism 14 in the vertical direction can be shortened, so as to avoid the whole food processing device 100 occupying too much space in the vertical direction, which is beneficial to reducing the overall volume of the food processing device 100.

[0046] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism 14 further includes an intermediate transmission shaft 144, a first bevel gear 145, a second bevel gear 146, a third bevel gear 147 and a fourth bevel gear 148. The first bevel gear 145 is connected to the transmission input shaft 141, the second bevel gear 146 and the third bevel gear 147 are respectively connected to both ends of the intermediate transmission shaft 144, the fourth bevel gear 148 is connected to the transmission output shaft 143, the first bevel gear 145 meshes with the second bevel gear 146, and the third bevel gear 147 meshes with the fourth bevel gear 148. As a specific example, in the present embodiment, the intermediate transmission shaft 144 is horizontally arranged and located between the transmission input shaft 141 and the transmission output shaft 143. Through the above arrangement, when the driving member 13 drives the transmission input shaft 141 to rotate, the first bevel gear 145 rotates following the transmission input shaft 141, thereby driving the second bevel gear 146 to rotate. The second bevel gear 146 drives the intermediate transmission shaft 144 and the third bevel gear 147 to rotate, thereby driving the fourth bevel gear 148 and the transmission output shaft 143 to rotate, and further driving the food processing cutter 12 to rotate and work. Through the above arrangement, the transmission connection between the transmission input shaft 141 and the transmission output shaft 143 is realized, and the required parts are fewer and the occupied space is smaller, which is beneficial to reducing the volume of the transmission mechanism 14.

[0047] In some other embodiments, the transmission input shaft 141 and the transmission output shaft 143 can also be in transmission connection through the transmission cooperation of a synchronous belt and a synchronous pulley. Or, the transmission input shaft 141 and the transmission output shaft 143 can also be in transmission connection through cylindrical gears. The specific connection form of the transmission input shaft 141 and the transmission output shaft 143 is not limited.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, in some embodiments, the food processing device 100 further includes a connection component 16. The transmission mechanism 14 includes a transmission housing 149 which is used to accommodate and install other components of the transmission mechanism 14. Both the transmission input shaft 141 and the transmission output shaft 143 penetrate through the bottom wall of the transmission housing 149. The connection component 16 is arranged between the transmission housing 149 and the housing 10, and the transmission housing 149 is detachably connected to the housing 10 through the connection component 16. As a specific example, in this embodiment, the connection component 16 includes a clamping member 161 and a clamping groove 162. The clamping member 161 is arranged on the transmission housing 149, and the clamping groove 162 is formed on the top wall of the housing 10. The clamping member 161 is clamped in the clamping groove 162 to realize the detachable connection between the transmission housing 149 and the housing 10, and the disassembly and installation operations are simple and convenient. In some other embodiments, the transmission housing 149 and the housing 10 can also be detachably connected by fasteners such as bolts / screws, or can be detachably connected by magnetic attraction. The specific connection manner between the transmission housing 149 and the housing 10 is not limited.

[0049] In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism 14 further includes several bearings connected to the transmission housing 149. The transmission input shaft 141, the transmission output shaft 143, and the intermediate transmission shaft 144 are all rotatably connected to at least one bearing. Through the above settings, the stability of the transmission input shaft 141, the transmission output shaft 143, and the intermediate transmission shaft 144 during rotation can be improved, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the operation of the transmission mechanism 14.

[0050] In some embodiments, the food processing device further includes a refrigeration mechanism 17 which is used to refrigerate the ingredients that have been stirred in the inner container 11 to make ice cream products. The refrigeration mechanism 17 includes an evaporation coil 171, a compressor 172, and a condenser 173. The evaporation coil 171 is arranged at the bottom end outside the inner container 11 and is used to accommodate a heat exchange medium. The heat exchange medium can be a refrigerant such as water, freon, or propane. Both the compressor 172 and the condenser 173 are arranged in the inner cavity 101. The compressor 172 is connected to the evaporation coil 171, and the condenser 173 is connected to the compressor 172. The heat exchange medium in the evaporation coil 171 absorbs the heat of the ingredients in the inner container 11 outside the inner container 11 and changes from a liquid state to a gaseous state to cool and refrigerate the ingredients in the inner container 11. Then, the gaseous heat exchange medium is cooled and returned to a liquid state through the compressor 172 and the condenser 173, and the liquid heat exchange medium returns to the evaporation coil 171 to continue absorbing heat and refrigerating. The above process is repeated continuously to achieve continuous refrigeration of the ingredients in the inner container 11, so as to freeze and shape the ingredients to make ice cream products.

[0051] In some embodiments, the food processing device further includes a cooling fan 18. The cooling fan 18 is disposed in the inner cavity 101. A plurality of cooling holes 181 communicating with the inner cavity 101 are provided on the housing 10. The air suction end of the cooling fan 18 faces the condenser 173, and the air blowing end of the cooling fan 18 faces the cooling holes 181. Due to the provision of the cooling fan 18, the heat generated by the condenser 173 during operation can be sucked away by the cooling fan 18 and discharged from the housing 10 through the cooling holes 181, so as to prevent a large amount of heat from accumulating around the condenser 173, thereby ensuring that the condenser 173 can operate safely and normally.

[0052] In summary, the embodiments of the present application provide a food processing device, which includes a housing 10, an inner container 11, a food processing cutter 12, a driving member 13, and a transmission mechanism 14. Since the driving member 13 is disposed inside the housing 10, the space occupied when the driving member 13 is disposed outside the housing 10 can be saved, which is beneficial to reducing the overall volume of the food processing device 100. Since the transmission mechanism 14 is detachably connected to both the driving member 13 and the food processing cutter 12, the transmission mechanism 14 can be detached and stored separately after use, so the volume of the food processing device 100 can be reduced, which is convenient for storing and transporting the food processing device 100.
