Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, in particular to a whipping component and a cooking machine. Background Art

[0002] A cooking machine is a common kitchen appliance used to process and mix food ingredients in daily life. It can process food ingredients and make food more conveniently and efficiently, saving time and energy.

[0003] When the cooking machine works, it uses a blade and a stirring member to rotate inside the cooking machine to whip the food ingredients. The existing blades of the cooking machine can only rotate around a fixed plane. For whipping the food ingredients, it depends on the food ingredients actively entering the working area of the blade during rotation, and the whipping of the blade is relatively passive. The blade rotating around the fixed plane has a relatively small effective working area in the vertical direction. The small working area and passive whipping affect the processing efficiency of the food ingredients.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background art section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure. Therefore, it may include information that does not constitute the prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] Aiming at the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a whipping component and a cooking machine to improve the whipping effect of food ingredients.

[0006] The technical solution of the present utility model is as follows:

[0007] A whipping component, characterized in that it includes: a rotating shaft, on which a vortex rod extends circumferentially; a first shaft sleeve sleeved on the rotating shaft, on which a first track is circumferentially arranged and undulates along the axial direction of the rotating shaft, and the vortex rod cooperates with the first track; blades respectively arranged on the rotating shaft and the first shaft sleeve; wherein, the vortex rod includes a transition section connected to the rotating shaft and an acting section connected to the transition section; one of the rotating shaft and the first shaft sleeve is circumferentially provided with a second track undulating along the axial direction of the rotating shaft, and the other is provided with a limiting protrusion cooperating with the second track; when the rotating shaft rotates, the limiting protrusion slides along the second track, and the transition section slides along the first track, that is, the first shaft sleeve reciprocates axially along the rotating shaft; the acting section acts on the material.

[0008] A further technical solution thereof is that the acting section is bent in a undulating shape.

[0009] A further technical solution thereof is that one end of the acting section far from the transition section extends downward.

[0010] A further technical solution thereof is that the downward extending portion of the acting section is spirally bent around the rotating shaft.

[0011] A further technical solution thereof is that it further includes a connecting member, the connecting member is connected to the downward extending portion of the acting section; the connecting member is arranged around the first bushing.

[0012] A further technical solution thereof is that both the first track and the second track include two wave crests and two wave troughs, and the wave crests and the wave troughs are arranged alternately.

[0013] A further technical solution thereof is that the rotating shaft includes a shaft body and a second bushing sleeved on the shaft body, and the second track is arranged on the second bushing.

[0014] A further technical solution thereof is that fixing protrusions are arranged on the shaft body, sliding grooves are formed in the first bushing for the fixing protrusions to pass through, and fixing grooves are arranged on the second bushing to cooperate with the fixing protrusions.

[0015] A food processor includes a main body, a container and a whipping assembly. One end of the whipping assembly extends into the container, and the other end of the whipping assembly is connected to the main body.

[0016] The beneficial technical effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0017] (1) In the whipping assembly of the present utility model, a rotating shaft and a first bushing are provided. When the rotating shaft rotates, under the combined action of frictional force and the resistance during whipping of the materials, the first bushing rotates around the rotating shaft. Then the eddy current rod slides along the first track, and the limiting protrusion slides along the second track, so that the first shaft body moves axially along the rotating shaft, driving the blade arranged on the first shaft body to move up and down. The blades moving up and down perform whipping within a larger range. While the blades move up and down, they also stir the ingredients, improving the whipping efficiency. In addition, while the eddy current rod restricts the movement of the first bushing, the eddy current rod and the rotating shaft sleeve rotate synchronously, which can prevent the materials from moving upward, so that more materials are located in the working area of the blades. The rotating eddy current rod can also change the movement path of the materials, improving the whipping efficiency. When cleaning the whipping assembly and the container with clean water, the rotating eddy current rod can generate a large eddy current at the knife assembly, making the cleaning more thorough.

[0018] (2) Further, the eddy current rod is bent into a undulating shape. When the undulating eddy current rod rotates, the stirring range is larger, improving the turbulence and eddy current effects during whipping, so as to mix the materials more effectively and evenly.

[0019] (2) Further, the eddy current rod is also connected with a stirring member. The vertically arranged stirring member increases the stirring range and can better stir the materials. In addition, the stirring member can be spirally bent around the rotating shaft. When the rotating shaft drives the stirring member to rotate, the materials in contact with the stirring member move downward along the spirally bent stirring member and enter the working area of the blade.

[0031] Embodiment 1

[0032] Figure 1 Shows an exploded structural schematic diagram of the whipping assembly in Embodiment 1 of the present utility model. Figure 2 Shows a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the first bushing and the blade of the whipping assembly in Embodiment 1 of the present utility model in the upward viewing direction. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the whipping assembly, which includes a rotating shaft 2, a first bushing 4, and a blade 5. A vortex rod 1 is circumferentially extended and arranged on the rotating shaft 2. The first bushing 4 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 2. A first track 41 that undulates along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 is circumferentially arranged on the first bushing 4, and the vortex rod 1 cooperates with the first track 41. Blades 5 are respectively arranged on the rotating shaft 2 and the first bushing 4.

[0033] Among them, the vortex rod 1 includes a transition section 11 connected to the rotating shaft 2 and an action section 12 connected to the transition section 11. The transition section 11 is straightly arranged. The straight transition section 11 ensures that the vortex rod 1 fits the first track 41 and guarantees the stability during the sliding process. One of the rotating shaft 2 and the first bushing 4 is circumferentially provided with a second track 25 that undulates along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2, and the other is provided with a limiting protrusion 42 that cooperates with the second track 25. That is, it includes two situations: the second track 25 is arranged on the rotating shaft 2 and the limiting protrusion 42 that cooperates with the second track 25 is arranged on the first bushing 4; and the second track 25 is arranged on the first bushing 4 and the limiting protrusion 42 that cooperates with the second track 25 is arranged on the rotating shaft 2.

[0034] Taking the case where the second track 25 is arranged on the rotating shaft 2 as an example, when the rotating shaft 2 rotates, under the combined action of the frictional force and the resistance during whipping the materials, the first bushing 4 rotates around the rotating shaft 2. At this time, the limiting protrusion 42 slides along the second track 25. As the second track 25 undulates, the first bushing 4 moves up and down along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2. At this time, the transition section 11 slides along the first track 41, while increasing the moving stability of the first bushing 4, restricting the height of the upward movement of the first bushing 4. The cooperation between the limiting protrusion 42 and the transition section 11 enables the first bushing 4 to reciprocate up and down along the rotating shaft 2. During the reciprocating movement of the first bushing 4, the blade 5 arranged on the first bushing 4 reciprocates up and down along the rotating shaft 2, improving the whipping range of the blade 5. While the blade 5 moves up and down, it also stirs the food materials, improving the whipping efficiency. In addition, while the transition section 11 restricts the movement of the first bushing 4, the acting section 12 and the rotating shaft 2 sleeve rotate synchronously, which can block the upward movement of the materials, making the materials more located in the working area of the blade 5. When the materials move upward and contact the rotating acting section 12, the acting section 12 exerts a force on the materials, improving the whipping efficiency. When using clean water to clean the whipping assembly and the container 7, the rotating acting section 12 can generate a large eddy current at the knife assembly, making the cleaning cleaner and more thorough.

[0035] Among them, the acting section 12 can be bent into a wavy shape. When the wavy acting section 12 rotates, the stirring range is larger, which can improve the blocking effect of the acting section 12, so as to mix the materials more effectively and evenly. At the same time, when using clean water to clean the whipping assembly and the container 7, the wavy acting section 12 generates irregular eddy currents at the knife assembly, improving the cleaning effect. In addition, the bending direction of the acting section 12 can be the vertical direction, the bending direction of the acting section 12 can also be the horizontal direction, or the acting section 12 can have both vertical and horizontal bends at the same time. The undulating bend of the acting section 12 enables the materials to contact the acting section 12 when moving horizontally. The acting section 12 can restrict the materials, preventing the materials from being thrown towards the side wall of the container 7 by the centrifugal force, and making the materials more evenly distributed in the container 7.

[0036] The specific structures of the rotating shaft 2 and the first bushing 4 are described as follows:

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the first track 41 and the second track 25 both include two wave crests 411 and two wave troughs 412, and the wave crests 411 and the wave troughs 412 are arranged alternately. When the limiting protrusion 42 slides around the second track 25 for one circle, the first bushing 4 will reciprocate twice along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2. When the transition section 11 slides around the first track 41 for one circle, the first bushing 4 will reciprocate twice along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2. The stroke of one reciprocating motion includes: the limiting protrusion 42 on the first bushing 4 contacts the wave trough 412 of the second track 25, and then the limiting protrusion 42 moves along the wave trough 412 of the second track 25 towards the wave crest 411, that is, the first bushing 4 moves upward until the transition section 11 contacts the wave trough 412 of the first track 41; then the transition section 11 moves along the wave trough 412 of the first track 41 towards the wave crest 411, that is, the first bushing 4 moves downward until the limiting protrusion 42 contacts the wave trough 412 of the second track 25. The number of reciprocating motions of the first bushing 4 is limited to two times to avoid too high a reciprocating motion frequency of the first bushing 4, which affects the stability during operation.

[0038] Figure 2 Fig. shows a schematic perspective view of the second bushing of the whipping assembly in the first embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the rotating shaft 2 includes a shaft body 21 and a second bushing 24 sleeved on the shaft body 21. The second track 25 is arranged on the second bushing 24, and the blade 5 on the rotating shaft 2 is also arranged on the second bushing 24. Among them, a fixing protrusion 22 is arranged on the shaft body 21, a sliding groove 43 is formed in the first bushing 4 for the fixing protrusion 22 to pass through, and a fixing groove 26 is arranged on the second bushing 24 to cooperate with the fixing protrusion 22. The fixing protrusion 22 is embedded in the fixing groove 26, and the second bushing 24 is detachably arranged on the shaft body 21 to disassemble and assemble the first bushing 4 on the shaft body 21.

[0039] The specific working process of the present invention is as follows:

[0040] When the whipping assembly is stationary, under the action of gravity, the limiting protrusion 42 fits against the bottom of the trough 412 of the second track 25. When the shaft body 21 rotates, under the action of friction, the second track 25 transmits torque to the fitting limiting protrusion 42. Under the action of this torque, the first bushing 4 rotates around the shaft body 21. Affected by the resistance, the rotation speed of the first bushing 4 is lower than that of the shaft body 21, and the limiting protrusion 42 slides along the undulating track surface of the second track 25, driving the first bushing 4 to move along the shaft body 21. When the limiting protrusion 42 slides along the second track 25 to the top of the peak 411 of the second track 25, affected by inertia, the first bushing 4 and the limiting protrusion 42 continue to move upward along the shaft body 21 until the transition section 11 contacts the first track 41. Then the transition section 11 slides along the undulating track surface of the first track 41, driving the first bushing 4 to move along the shaft body 21. When the transition section 11 slides along the first track 41 to the bottom of the trough 412 of the first track 41, affected by inertia and gravity, the first bushing 4 and the transition section 11 continue to move downward along the shaft body 21 until the limiting protrusion 42 contacts the second track 25. Then the limiting protrusion 42 slides along the undulating track surface of the second track 25, driving the first bushing 4 to move along the shaft body 21. Continuously rotating the shaft body 21, the first bushing 4 repeats the above-mentioned upward and downward movement actions, reciprocating up and down on the shaft body 21.

[0041] Embodiment 2

[0042] Figure 3 The three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the whipping assembly in Embodiment 2 of the present utility model is shown. Please refer to Figure 3 , based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2 discloses a whipping assembly, and its acting section 12 is straight. When the acting section 12 rotates with the rotating shaft 2, it can prevent the material from moving upward, allowing more material to be located in the working area of the blade 5. When using clean water to clean the whipping assembly and the container 7, the rotating acting section 12 can generate a large eddy current at the knife assembly, making the cleaning cleaner and more thorough.

[0043] The straight acting section 12 is simpler to process, has a lower cost, and is also easier to clean when cleaning the acting section 12 subsequently.

[0044] Embodiment 3

[0045] Figure 4 The three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the whipping assembly in Embodiment 3 of the present utility model is shown. Please refer to Figure 4 , based on Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, Embodiment 3 discloses a whipping assembly, and an extension portion 13 is formed by extending downward at one end of the acting section 12 away from the transition section 11. The extension portion 13 increases the stirring range of the acting section 12 and can better stir the material.

[0046] It further includes a connecting member 3, and the connecting member 3 is connected to the downward extending portion of the acting section 12; the connecting member 3 is disposed around the first bushing 4.

[0047] The extending portion 13 is connected to the connecting member 3 to enhance the stability of the extending portion 13. When there are multiple eddy current rods 1, that is, when there are multiple extending portions 13, the connecting member 3 connects all the extending portions 13 at the same time. In addition, the connecting member 3 is disposed around the first bushing 4. There is a gap between the connecting member 3 and the first bushing 4, and the gap prevents interference between the connecting member 3 and the first bushing 4.

[0048] Embodiment 4

[0049] Figure 5 Fig. shows a perspective structural view of the whipping assembly in Embodiment 4 of the present utility model. Please refer to Figure 5 , based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 3, Embodiment 4 discloses a whipping assembly, and the downward extending portion of the acting section 12 is spirally bent around the rotating shaft 2 to form an extending portion 13, that is, the extending portion 13 is spirally bent around the rotating shaft 2. At this time, the rotating shaft 2 drives the extending portion 13 to rotate, and the material contacting the extending portion 13 will move downward along the spirally bent extending portion 13 until the material moves to the end of the extending portion 13. Under the action of inertia, the material will continue to move downward and enter the working area of the lower blade 5 to be whipped by the blade 5, improving the whipping efficiency of the material. At the same time, the extending portion 13 also increases the stirring range of the acting section 12, and the acting section 12 can stir the material better.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 5 , a connecting member 3 is further provided, and the connecting member 3 is connected to the downward extending portion of the acting section 12, that is, the connecting member 3 is connected to the extending portion 13 to enhance the stability of the extending portion 13. When there are multiple eddy current rods 1, that is, when there are multiple extending portions 13, the connecting member 3 connects all the extending portions 13 at the same time. In addition, the connecting member 3 is disposed around the first bushing 4. There is a gap between the connecting member 3 and the first bushing 4, and the gap prevents interference between the connecting member 3 and the first bushing 4.

[0051] Embodiment 5

[0052] Figure 6 Fig. shows a cross-sectional structural view of the food processor in Embodiment 5 of the present utility model. Please refer to Figure 6, based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2 discloses a cooking machine, including a main body 6, a container 7 and a whipping assembly. One end of the whipping assembly extends into the container 7, and the other end of the whipping assembly is connected to the main body 6. Among them, a spline 23 is provided on the shaft body 21. A motor and a coupler are arranged in the main body 6, and the coupler is connected to the spline 23 on the shaft body 21. The torque output by the motor is stable and reliable, with a fast response speed. It is driven by electricity and is suitable for household use. The lower end of the shaft body 21 is rotatably connected to the lower end inside the container 7, enhancing the stability of the shaft body 21 during rotation. When the whipping assembly is driven by the main body 6 to rotate in the container 7, the blade 5 on the whipping assembly will reciprocate up and down along the shaft body 21, improving the whipping efficiency of the food materials. At the same time, the eddy current rod 1 provided on the shaft body 21 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 2, which can block the upward movement of the material and make the material more located in the working area of the blade 5. When using clean water to clean the whipping assembly and the container 7, the rotating eddy current rod 1 can generate a large eddy current at the knife assembly, making the cleaning cleaner and more thorough.

[0053] It can be seen that for the above-mentioned whipping assembly, when the shaft body 21 rotates, the first shaft sleeve 4 reciprocates up and down along the shaft head, driving the blade 5 to move up and down. The blade 5 moving up and down whips in a larger range. While the blade 5 moves up and down, it also stirs the food materials, improving the whipping efficiency. At the same time, the eddy current rod 1 can block the upward movement of the material and make the material more located in the working area of the blade 5. The above-mentioned cooking machine whips the materials through the whipping assembly to improve the whipping efficiency. When using clean water to clean the whipping assembly and the container 7, the rotating eddy current rod 1 can generate a large eddy current at the knife assembly, making the cleaning cleaner and more thorough.

[0054] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope recorded in this specification.

[0055] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present utility model.
